Music on Main a hit in Farmville, business owners say
By Angela Harne
The Enterprise
Monday, September 4, 2017
FARMVILLE — The first Music on Main event meant to increase foot traffic in downtown drew more that 1,000 visitors and met with rave reviews from downtown businesses.
The Aug. 22 event featuring The Band of Oz was the first of what town leaders hope will be similar events to be held the fourth Thursday of every month.
Hosted by the Farmville Chamber of Commerce, local merchants joined forces to host the event with one goal: Entice patrons to town.
"This is great. The weather is perfect and the crowd is gathering and people are going in restaurants," Farmville Commissioner Brenda Elks said as the event began.
Fran Allen of Winterville set up camp on Main Street with her three daughters. They ordered Marabella's to-go and were looking forward to hearing great music with friends.
"My kids love live music," Allen said.
Robert Griffin of Red Oak traveled to downtown Farmville just to hear The Band of Oz.
"I love beach music, but I have two left feet," said Griffin, who planned to enjoy the band from the comfort of his lawn chair.
The Band of Oz is one of Mike Simpson's favorite. Music on Main marked the Lucama resident's first time ever visit to downtown Farmville. He and his wife enjoyed dinner at La Cabanita and an evening of beach music.
For many, it was their first time in downtown Farmville. Merchants hoped visitors would see what downtown has to offer and return to shop and dine in town.
"We want people to have a good time and see how well they are treated in Farmville and come back to shop and eat," said Jay Johnson, the owner of The Farmville Flower Basket, who helped organize Music on Main.
The Flower Basket hosted Pirate Radio, who hosted its talk show from the store during Music on Main.
The event started by 6 p.m., but by 5 p.m. patrons were lining up chairs for the best seats in the house to hear The Band of Oz, which took center stage at the intersection of Church and Main streets.
The crowd was a welcomed sight for Sunita Vasnani, the owner of Hiks Fashions.
"I'm hoping many window shop and refer customers," she said. "We want customers to get an idea of what Farmville has to offer, so they will tell their friends to visit downtown."
Hiks remained open until 7:30 p.m. during the event, which ended at 9 p.m. The Original Barbershop also extended its hours and offered low price haircuts to students.
"I love this town and want to support it and our business community," said barber Dennis Anderson. "I also am hoping Music on Main builds my customer base and increases awareness of my barbershop. I also plan to enjoy some music."
At the Farmville Chamber Office, Brenda Lovic and Dinah Baldwin, the owners of Cutie Patooty, were hoping Music on Main also built their customer base.
"This is a great event and great concept," Baldwin said. "What better way to get together than with music. I'm hoping this entices people to walk in our stores and see what we have to offer, and draws them to come back to our restaurants and shops."
Foot traffic increased immensely at The Pour House and Marabella's.
"This is awesome. We are excited ... and hope more customers become more aware of us and come back," said Pour House bartender Chelsea Faulkner.
Marabella's general manager Debbie Radwick added, "We are trying to help Farmville be a viable town again. We want patrons to come and dine and shop with us — not just ride through or pass by. We have wonderful shops and good food."
Of Marabella's first four customers, two had never eaten at the restaurant before.
"We love new faces and appreciate the faces we see all the time," Radwick said.
Pauline Starling, who attended Music on Main with her husband, Berry, and five-year-old granddaughter, Charlie Jane, planned to enjoy dinner in one of Farmville's downtown restaurants and then listen to the band.
"This is a great thing. I love community events and meeting new people. You can feel the sense of community here, and it's bringing so many downtown," Starling said.
The goal of organizers is to host Music on Main on the fourth Thursday every other month. The next event is tentatively Oct. 26.
The Enterprise serves western Pitt County including the towns of Falkland, Farmville and Fountain.

Nineteenth Sunday After Pentecost
Consideration of and care for those in need (especially those "at our gate," visible to us, of whom we are aware) is an essential component of good stewardship. It is in the sharing of wealth that we avoid the snare of wealth. It is the one whom death could not hold—who comes to us risen from the dead—who can free us from the death grip of greed.

Jesse Jackson honored for helping end apartheid
George Curry | 5/5/2013, 8:15 a.m. | Updated on 5/6/2013, 9:05 a.m.
PRETORIA, South Africa (NNPA ) – Human rights activist Jesse L. Jackson has been presented the Companions of O.R. Tambo Award, the highest award a non-South African can receive, for his extensive efforts to help end apartheid in the country.
Jackson, founder and president of the Chicago-based Rainbow PUSH Coalition, accepted the award Saturday from President Jacob Zuma at the Presidential Guesthouse. Jackson's wife, Jacqueline, and two of his children, Santita and Yusef, accompanied him to the capital city to accept the prestigious honor.
The former aide to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was cited "for dedicating his life to challenge societies and governments to recognize that all people are born equal, and that everyone is in equal measure entitled to life, liberty, prosperity and human rights." He was honored "for his excellent contribution to the fight against apartheid."
The award was named after Oliver Reginald Tambo, the former chairman of the African National Congress who helped end White minority rule in South Africa 19 years ago. The award is presented annually to "eminent foreign nationals for friendship shown to South Africa." The official description of the award says recipients are "concerned primarily with matters of peace, cooperation, international solidarity and support and is integral to the execution of South Africa's international and multinational relations."
The official program noted, "Jackson first visited South Africa in 1979 following the death of Steve Biko. He attracted huge crowds at his rallies in Soweto, where he denounced South Africa's oppressive system of apartheid … Upon his return to the United States, Jackson intensified efforts to mobilize opposition to the 'terrorist state' of South Africa and reshape U.S. policy on the country.
"From the outset, Jackson strongly opposed President Ronald Reagan's policy of constructive engagement with the apartheid regime. He worked tirelessly to mobilize public opposition to the U.S.A.'s stance. Jackson entered the 1984 presidential race with the anti-apartheid struggle at the center of his foreign policy agenda."
The program recounted Jackson's 1985 meeting with Pope John Paul II in which he invited the pontiff to visit South Africa to help bring about majority rule. He also lobbied Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev to cut diplomatic ties to South Africa. In addition, Jackson urged the U.S. government to fund resisters.
"He also called on Harvard and other universities to divest from South Africa," the program stated. "In 1986, at the invitation of several African governments, Jackson led a delegation of activists, business representatives and academics to eight African countries, including the southern African 'frontline states.' The focus of the trip was to mobilize opposition to the apartheid regime."
A frequent traveler to the continent, Jackson was in South Africa on Feb. 11, 1990, when Nelson Mandela emerged from prison after a 27-year confinement. Mandela would play a key role in the peaceful transition from minority rule to a democracy, becoming the first Black African elected president of South Africa. In speeches here at universities, the U.S. Embassy and a Black church, Jackson talked about his front-row seat to history and warned that although Black South Africans have finally won their political freedom, the next goal should be eliminating economic inequity, considered the worst in the world.

Movie News: Angelina Jolie's 'Unbroken' (First Pic); Jamie Foxx, Oliver Stone Reuniting for MLK; 'Monuments Men' Trailer
Unbroken: The first official image related to Angelina Jolie's upcoming adaptation of the sprawling, true-life epic Unbroken has been released, but it's not what we might have expected. Jolie, who will direct, is shown with the subject of the book, Louis Zamperini, an Olympic track star turned plane-crash survivor (spending 47 days alone in a raft at sea) turned prisoner of war during World War II. Zamperini will be played by young Jack O'Connell in the film version that is heading to theaters in December 2014. [Deadline]
Martin Luther King: Jamie Foxx and director Oliver Stone may be reuniting for a biographical portrait of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Foxx is "in talks" and Stone is "in negotiations" for the project, written by Kario Salem (Chasing Mavericks), with Steven Spielberg on board as one of the producers. The King family is "expected to support" the film. Foxx and Stone previously teamed on 1999's football epic Any Given Sunday. [The Wrap]
Maleficent: While Angelina Jolie prepares to shoot Unbroken, the movie in which she stars as the evil titular character is preparing to reshoot its opening. John Lee Hancock, who is both a writer and director, has written several new scenes for Maleficent, a big-budget retelling of Sleeping Beauty, and has been asked by the producers to be on set while first-timer Robert Stromberg directs the reshoots. Jolie's character is not involved in those scenes; recently, the movie's release date was moved up to May 30, 2014. [Heat Vision]
The Monuments Men Trailer: How do you sell a historical picture set during World War II? (See Unbroken, above.) The new trailer for George Clooney's The Monuments Men provides a case study in how to do it well, showcasing the all-star cast (including Matt Damon and Bill Murray) and an epic, yet intimate tone that promises to treat an important subject -- the recovery of artifacts stolen by the Nazis -- with respect. The movie opens on December 18. [MovieWeb]

After graduating, people are full of hopes and dreams of making it big in their respective fields and set higher aims for their future.
Human beings have always been ambitious from the day they set foot on Planet Earth. He was never satisfied with what he has already achieved. He wants more. This trait of human nature put him on the moon. Making it big in this competitive world is not a walk in the park. It takes guts, sweat and brains to cut out a place for you. To be ambitious is to dream big. But how are you going to go about it. There are questions to be answered. Like:
What is it that you want to achieve? What is your ambition?
How do you define success? What does it mean to you?
How far are you ready to go to fulfill your ambitions?
Once you answer these questions and sort them out, you are already on the way to fulfill your dream. Here we are going to discuss some characteristics of successful people which can help you achieve your goals and sees you on your way to success.
DREAMS vs. GOALSWe, being ambitious entities, want to do many things at the same time; we want to do more with our time. But it is like traveling in all directions to reach one destination. Result is, you don't reach anywhere and ends up being lost. Setting realistic goal is the first step towards making your dreams come true.
What are dreams? Dreams are intangible fragments of our imagination. They are not going to get us anywhere unless we turn our dreams into our goals. They are the realistic version of our dreams. Having a great idea or dream is not a problem. Having too many at the same time is. They will eventually cancel each other out and you will be left empty handed. Having one great idea, turning it into a goal and working hard towards its realization has been the mantra of all the successful people we have idolizing all our lives.
Once you have set your goal and made up your mind about what you want and how you want it, then it is time to put your vision into action. No dream came true ever without putting your 100 percent time and effort. Your effort should be single-minded and monomaniacal.
The magnitude of your ambition determines the position it holds on your priority list. Small ambitions mostly get overshadowed. Aim for higher ambition so that it sticks. Once you have a bigger ambition on your list, rest of the items on that goes into the pending basket and your ambition becomes the focal point of your efforts. Be firm and tenacious in the execution of your endeavors towards achieving your dreams. Never let negative conditions or feedback hold you back from striving to excel. There will be people trying to undermine your efforts by telling you that you can't achieve it because it's impossible or just too difficult. Don't let them or any kind of adversity come in your way. Adversity makes you stronger. Storms only make eagle soar above the clouds. Make adversity your friend, not enemy.
Learn from your past and never make the same mistakes twice. Debug your efforts and start anew whenever there is a hiccup in your mission. More often than not, we tend to brood over what happened in the past that kept us from achieving our dreams. It just makes us weak and slows us down in our present efforts. Use those mistakes as a learning experience only and move on.
Learn from the lives of past success stories of achievers. Follow a role model. Assess their life style and attributes. Make notes of what they did right in their careers and lives that made them standout in the crowd.

This one-liner has been a tag line of hundreds of movies and became quite a cliché statement but this doesn't make it irrelevant at all. Believing in one's self or doubting one's abilities is the turning point of achieving success or ending up as a failure. So whatever career targets you have set for yourself, however high they are, believing in yourself will gradually but eventually get you there. Sometimes, it'swe rather than other people standing in our way of achieving greatness.
These are a few ways of making it in the real world and becoming a success story. Dream big and set your priorities to back that dream to become reality.

The MLB trade deadline is tomorrow, and Marlins fans fearful that the team would nuke its lineup can prepare to breath a sigh of relief. ESPN reports that star pitcher Josh Johnson probably will not be traded before tomorrow's MLB trade deadline.
But those of us who would like to be fans one day when this team starts acting like it actually deserves fans shouldn't be too excited -- this looks like a decision made strictly because Johnson wasn't pitching well enough to get much in return.
Here's the tidbit from ESPN's Jayson Stark:
After all that Josh Johnson talk, the Marlins were telling teams Monday they're just going to keep their ace unless something unforeseen happens. With 15 scouts watching closely Sunday, Johnson turned in a six-walk, four-whiff, five-inning start that one scout summed up with one word: "Uninspiring." So the Marlins are informing clubs they see more value in keeping Johnson, heading into his free-agent year, than trading him just to say they did.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

Of course, this is a dollar and cents decision made by the Marlins. They wanted to get more money for him than anyone else would pay right now. It's not necessarily one that shows the team is hoping to work out Johnson's recent kinks and build a pitching lineup around him next year. He's under contract for two more years.
And as a word of caution: we might be a bit early to claim that the fire sale is over. While there aren't any reports or rumors floating around the team is looking to offload anyone else (at least anyone major) the team still has a whole day to figure out some other way to send shockwaves through the fan base.
Then again, what's left of the Marlins fanbase probably isn't shocked by much anymore.

Elephant Rocks State Park
Huge pink granite boulders, some of them weighing over 600 tons and standing over 20 feet tall, are strewn across a few acres like a giant natural playground. These rocks were formed 1.5 billion years ago by the slow cooling of molten rock, magma, as it bubbled up into the earth's crust. Later the Ozark plateau warped upward causing stream down cutting and erosion. The granite was slowly exposed and began to slowly weather along joints – vertical and horizontal cracks in the hard rock.
Elephant Rocks Natural Area can be easily viewed from the one-mile paved Braille Trail. Designed especially for people with visual and physical disabilities, the Braille Trail is the first of its kind in Missouri state parks. An extension off of the trail leads back to the ruins of an old railroad engine house.

If you are new around here, you may not know that I am currently in my second year of uni studying graphic and web design, with a minor in photography. I freaking love all forms of creativity and would actually love to be able to make some money to live off from this passion one day. Studio Frockled is the home all of design, photography and creative magic. I currently have an Instagram and Facebook page set up for this new business and visual portfolio. If you are interested at all, and want to support a budding young creative, it would mean the world to me if you flicked Studio Frockled a follow or like. I'm also aiming to set up a real portfolio in the near future, but for now this is what I'm working with. Baby steps right!?
002. Life has been pretty crazy to say the least over the past month. Thanks for hanging out and reading the scramble of words and explosion of visuals on this small space in the world wide web.

I know I have to be patient... But I'm afraid.
Anyone has some tip to give me?
Amethyst_Kisses Posts: 67Registered UsersCongrats and good wishes on your journey :') I am supposed to have 3b hair but characteristically I feel like I'm more 4a. The thing that has helped me the most was not paying attention to my hair type but my hair porosity and strand size. Secondly, when you transition, you will want to try and buy all of the 'natural' hair products. RESIST THESE URGES!!!!!!!!!!! As a freshman in college i spent alot of money on things i didnt need just so i could have these products and ended up with SEVERE buyers remorse. Also, if you dont already, try to use shampoos that are for dry or damaged hair so both hair types can benefit. I hope this helps :'}0

Liberal Voters Finally Notice the War Over the Courts — Decades After Conservatives Did
For decades, only social conservatives made the courts a make-or-break voting issue. Can liberals now up their game and win the war?Simon LazarusOct 25, 2018
(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) Bob Bland, left, raises her fist as activists protest on the steps of the Supreme Court after the confirmation vote of Brett Kavanaugh on October 6, 2018. Buried in an October 9 Washington Post poll of battleground congressional districts, one set of numbers jumped off the page for those of us who have, for two painful decades, tracked the slow-motion train wreck of the Supreme Court. In this poll of likely voters in 69 districts, the issue most cited as "extremely important" was the "Supreme Court and other judicial nominations." Sixty-four percent picked it, ahead of Donald Trump (60 percent), health care (57percent ), and the economy (55 percent). To be sure, these numbers reflected the just-pushed-through confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Court. What was more striking, and, one hopes, less ephemeral, was the partisan balance of those respondents. Among those who prioritized judicial nominations, 50 percent supported the...
Here's How Democrats Can Expose What Kavanaugh Threatens
Highlight his belief in unchecked presidential power, and the danger it poses to the ACA and the Mueller investigation.Simon LazarusJul 11, 2018
If President Donald Trump wished to replace retired Supreme Court justice Anthony Kennedy with a successor likely to back the White House in any Russia investigation showdown with Special Counsel Robert Mueller, or, more broadly, to legitimate Trump's penchant for sabotaging laws he disfavors, he could not have done better than nominate Brett Kavanaugh. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has stated that his caucus's campaign to contest Kavanaugh's nomination will target two issues—the threat to authorize states to ban abortion by overruling Roe v. Wade, and the threat to gut health insurance or even invalidate the Affordable Care Act. Both issue areas are priority concerns for progressive constituencies, and progressive views on them command considerable support among the electorate. But Democrats and progressives should not neglect the nominee's absolutist vision of presidential power. Indeed, they should lead with that punch, to initially frame the...
Did the Supreme Court Just Gut the New Deal?
Monday's ruling banning employee class-action suits could open the door to destroying non-union workers' rights.Simon LazarusMay 22, 2018
Yesterday, the Supreme Court's five-justice conservative bloc empowered employers to require employees, as a condition of employment, to forego any joint legal remedy for unlawful abuse. It did so despite the core guarantee of two landmark New Deal statutes, that workers have a federal right to engage in "concerted activity" for their "mutual aid or protection." During the oral argument in the case, as I noted in the Prospect on January 4 , some members of the conservative bloc seemed to be considering tempering or qualifying a result so blatantly at odds with the 1932 Norris-LaGuardia Act (NLGA) and the 1935 National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), and with 75 years of subsequent court decisions interpreting those laws. But Monday's decision—in the opinion written by Justice Neil Gorsuch—reflects no such caution. In their briefs and in oral arguments, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and its allies, including the Trump Justice Department, spun...
The Scalia Problem: It Wasn't Originalism or Textualism -- It Was Trumpism
A review of Richard L. Hasen's The Justice of Contradictions: Antonin Scalia and the Politics of DisruptionSimon LazarusApr 04, 2018
Two years since Justice Antonin Scalia's death on February 16, 2016, no new book has offered an overall assessment of his three decades as one of the Supreme Court's most quoted, contentious, vilified, and celebrated members. That silence is now broken. Richard Hasen, law professor at the University of California at Irvine, prolific author, and host of his own Election Law Blog, has just published a compact and accessible but wide-ranging volume , The Justice of Contradictions: Antonin Scalia and the Politics of Disruption . The book tees up the issue of the extent to which the jurisprudential ideologies the late justice spent his lifetime touting—"originalism" for interpreting the Constitution and "textualism" for deciphering statutes—were and are serious and meritorious efforts at jurisprudence, or, on the contrary, mere slogans to gussy up a political agenda. Few will be surprised by the answer to that question implicit in Hasen...
The Supreme Court Case That Could 'Overturn the Heart of the New Deal'
And though the Court will rule before July, hardly anyone has noticed it.Simon LazarusJan 04, 2018
As the Supreme Court gets back to work this Friday, January 5, media coverage of its potentially momentous 2017-2018 term has focused on several high-profile cases that deal with gerrymandering, cell phone privacy, religiously cloaked anti-gay discrimination, and the future of public-employee unions. But one sleeper has received less attention than it deserves. Argued on October 2, this case could strip foundational safeguards in place for over 80 years, essential to ensuring millions of low-wage and non-union workers of their right to fair pay, job security, workplace safety, nondiscrimination, and other guarantees protected by state and federal law. The case gives the Roberts Court, with its newly reconstituted 5-4 conservative majority, a chance to escalate its pro-corporate activism to levels unmatched even by the famously anti-regulatory pre-New Deal Court of a century ago. If the Court reaches the result sought by business advocates, this would, as elaborated by two Seton Hall...

On Windows, the initial installation of Management Agents can be done either manually or by using a third-party software deployment system. Initial installation via the Management Server is not supported.
The Management Agent uses and requires the MSI installation package 2.0 format used by the Windows Installer Service. This service is included by default in Windows 2000 SP3 (and later), 2003, and XP, so there is no need to install it separately on these systems.
To install the Management Agent on Windows NT (or Windows 2000 below SP3), you must have previously installed Windows Installer Service 2.0. This also requires that Windows NT is upgraded to Service Pack 6 or later. To install Windows Installer Service, locate and run
InstMsiW.exe and follow the instructions. The installation requires rebooting for the service to become active.
On Windows Vista, .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 is reguired.
To install the Management Agent manually on Windows:
Double-click the
ssh-mgmt-agent-<v>-windows-x86.msifile (where
<v>is the version number).
Follow these steps in the installation wizard:
At the introduction screen, click Next.
Click the radio button to accept the license and then click Next.
Select a location where you what to install the agent and click Next.
Click Install.
The wizard will install the Management Agent to the selected directory.
Download a valid ICB from the Management Server administration interface (see Downloading ICBs), and copy it to the Management Agent installation directory:
C:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Tectia Manager\icb.dat
In case of problems, see Problems with Management Agents.
Alternatively, you can use command-line options (detailed in the next section) to perform the installation.
When deploying the Management Agent to multiple machines, a silent mode of installation is available. This section lists the command-line options for performing a silent installation.
MSI packages are generally installed from the command line with the following command:
msiexec.exe /i <path_to_msi_file> [options]
A typical script for a silent installation might look like this:
msiexec.exe /i "ssh-mgmt-agent-126.96.36.199-windows-x86.msi" /L* "C:\temp\setup.log" /qn INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Tectia Manager" ICBDIR="H:\Management Settings"
In this script:
/i <path_to_msi_file>specifies to
msiexec.exethe MSI file to use.
/L* <path_to_log_file>indicates that a log of the installation is written.
/qnspecifies that the installation should be silent.
ICBDIR="<path_to_icb_location>"specifies the directory name where the ICB file can be found.
INSTALLDIR="<path_to_installation_location>"specifies the directory name where the agent is installed. If this option is omitted, the default location
"C:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Tectia Manager"is used.
When deploying the Management Agent on Windows using the command-line scripts, you should know a little about how the installer works. The following is a step-by-step description of the actions the installer typically runs in silent mode or after the Install button has been pressed in the installation wizard mode.
Pre-Installation Phase
1. The installer shuts down any running Management Agent services:
2. The installer uninstalls any existing Management Agents. The installer removes service binary,
agent-secsh.dat, and all registry entries associated with the application.
Installation Phase
3. The installer installs the following components to the path specified in the
INSTALLDIR option:
the service binary:
the registry entries associated with the product
(Windows NT 4.0 only)
Psapi.dllto Windows NT 4.0 systems that do not have it
4. The installer attempts to install the ICB file based on the
ICBDIR variable:
If a file named
icb.datis located in the directory specified by the
ICBDIRvariable passed to the installer, it will be copied to the installation directory.
If no
ICBDIRis specified, the installer checks the root of the
C:\drive for the file.
If no
icb.datfile exists, nothing happens here.
5. The installer starts the Management Agent service (
The service is started when the host is rebooted, and it keeps running all the time.

Blast from the Past #139: Evil Utrom designs
And once we had settled on a design, it was necessary to come up with a restraining device for the flashback scenes which showed how the evil Utrom had escaped on Earth. The following image shows the small tweaks I made to the design submitted to us by 4Kids, which was actually almost perfect -- I just wanted to try to make sure that the squishy little imp could find a way to squeeze himself out of it. -- PL

There's something about the one eyed version that makes me want to yell "Shredder's not only an Utrom, he's a PIRATE Utrom! SAVY!"ReplyDelete
Was there any thought of just naming Ch'rell Krang? As a nod to the old cartoon show?ReplyDelete
In the first drawing, The first and last one are my favorites....ReplyDelete
DT: That probably would have confused people even more :). But there would have been allot of good jokes inherent in it :).
Confused Fan: 'Wait, Shredder is now Krang in this new series?'
I love the Utrom Shredder idea. I'd like to see it involved in movie form...nudge, nudge...ReplyDelete
I'm only now getting into the comic books. At 27, I know, a little late in the game. Just wanted to say thank you for showing us all this stuff. I had no about Utroms. OnlyReplyDelete
Krang. LOL. Thanks again for the keen pictures ! Maybe one day we'll see some sketches of Ray Fillet *hink* LOL. Take care !
" Dragon Turtle said...ReplyDelete
Was there any thought of just naming Ch'rell Krang? As a nod to the old cartoon show?"
As I recall, no. We really wanted to separate the new show from the old one, and naming the evil Utrom "Krang" would have just been pointlessly confusing. As you are probably aware, we later DID do a quick "tip of the hat" to Krang by having one of the Utroms (I think while they were evacuating the TCRI building) refer to another as "Krang" in a throwaway line. -- PL
-->> ..there's a ' creep ' factor with the Utroms that always made me cringe since i was kid.ReplyDelete
Ch'rell just adds an extra aire of nervousness to that.
Krang was in a way more cuddly for lack of a better way to put it.
Ch'rell wasn't only a creepy device, but one of the more sinister versions of Shredder.
I wonder where the name "Ch'rell" is derived and inspired from.
I really love these concept idea of the evil utrom, I'm not sure if you've ever seen the book of Jim Hensons Design doodles but these remind me very much of his work.ReplyDelete
So in other words I like them allot. ;)
I think #5 and 10 are my favorties. #6 is cool but it's too coincidental that he'd be shaped the same as Shredder's armor. #1 reminds me of Dregg :PReplyDelete

Houston Plaza Faces Re-Redesign
'The plaza sits above street level atop a three-story parking garage and is flanked by several structures covered in green and blue mosaic tiles.
When it opened, some said it resembled a bus station bathroom and dubbed it 'Jordy's Toilet' after Jordy Tollett, the city's then-director of convention and entertainment facilities, who spearheaded the project.
"There are clearly a lot of people that are not very pleased with the way in which Jones Plaza works today," said Bob Eury, president of Central Houston, which submitted the request to architects on behalf of the city's Convention & Entertainment Facilities Department.
The plaza opened in 1967, but largely languished until 1987 when a weekly free live rock concert called Party on the Plaza began enticing workers to stay downtown at night."

On a recent visit to Munich , I was pleased to be invited to visit a very innovative print and finishing company -Stigler Gmbh - based in the north of the city next to the Messe MOC venue. I had seen some of their work before and had been introduced to them by Herman Will who publishes Novum – World of Graphic design. They had created a fantastic black and copper front cover which showcased their ability to produce intricate examples of cut and shaped card. So I was expecting to be impressed. However, I was wondering how such a company might be relevant in the modern world of print and particularly in the 'Industrial Print' space that we are currently focused on?
Firstly what struck me about this friendly, family run company was the technology available to them.
They had recently installed a MGI-jet varnish machine. One of only 2 sold in Germany and made by a French manufacturer. The revolutionary printer was producing high quality varnishes ( similar to screen print finishes ) with single pass inkjet. Of course, they are still testing and discussing trials they had done on acrylic and wood, but from what I could see the end result looked good!
Whilst on the other side of the factory floor, the business was busy with various 'jobs' using some old but highly productive Heidelberg machines . These machines were built to last and they have!
They are still running after 50 years, doing the job they were built for, long before the Beatles had even started playing to small audiences in the Reeperbahn in Hamburg.
This makes you think about the challenge which faces Heidelberg today. Built to last ! How can they continue to sell new machines ? Is it necessary to constantly innovate their technology, when it lasts so long? How do they operate in our 'throw away' society?
When you consider the challenges for Stigler, they face different issues. They have a range of creative Post press enhancements that they offer for the printed product that continues to amaze the customer. But they don't tend to know the final customer. Typically their direct customer is the printer who then supplies the finished product to the end user. But often the printer doesn't even mention that the clever stuff has been done by Stigler.
And Stigler can do lots of clever stuff. Just the kind of clever finished effects that appeal to the marketing and creative customer. Working with glass, plastic, acrylic, metal, card and wood they can really do some amazing stuff! Maybe for Stigler, its time to look for additional new customers? Or maybe their new machine will lead them to new customers by offering a more complete product and service. Whichever route they take, we know times are a changing!

Logan Squared: Ode to Philly
Emeka Ogboh featuring Ursula Rucker • 2017 • Mixed-media sound installation • Logan Square
Emeka Ogboh creates soundscapes to honor and understand cities. For Logan Squared: Ode to Philly, the artist collaborated with renowned Philadelphia poet Ursula Rucker and members of the Chestnut Street Singers, drawing on the ideas of hundreds of Philadelphians who submitted proposals during Monument Lab's 2015 discovery phase. Ogboh noted, "The point of departure for this work begins with what the city of Philadelphia remembers and what it chooses not to remember in terms of its history. The question is put across its citizenry in the form of research feedback."
Responding to the open dataset of proposals, Rucker composed an epic poem that served as the backbone of the project. Each Sunday, visitors were invited to experience a special weekly listening of a multichannel sound installation on the Skyline Terrace atop the Free Library of Philadelphia's Parkway Central branch. The composition included the sounds of Rucker's poem and a special choral arrangement of Louis Gesensway's "Logan Square at Dusk" from Four Squares of Philadelphia. Visitors were also able to hear the sound monument at solar-powered listening stations around the square, where they could plug in their headphones.
Partners: Mural Arts Philadelphia, The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, The City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, the Free Library of Philadelphia, and Friends of Aviator Park. Logan Squared: Ode to Philly was presented as a part of the Monument Lab: Philadelphia (2017) exhibition.
Major support for Monument Lab 2017 projects staged in Philadelphia's five squares provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. An expanded artist roster and projects at additional neighborhood sites made possible by the William Penn Foundation. Generous additional support provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. Full list of exhibition sponsors.
Project Managers: Judy Hellman, Kristen Goldschmidt
Collaborators: Justin Geller (Music Director & Producer), Nathan Lofton (Choral Arranger & Conductor), Drew Schlegel (Recording Engineer), Dave Schonauer (Assistant Recording Engineer), Morningstar Studios (Recording Venue), John Greig (Speaker Stand Design & Fabrication), Ric Allison and Anders Uhl (Listening Station Designers & Fabrication), Sharon Curley (Project Technician)

Artist Statement
I have explored the historic and aural infrastructures of various cities—Lagos, Nigeria in particular—through my sound recordings and installations. These works try to understand cities, mostly through sounds they generate in the form of soundscapes, but also through audio materials found in the city's archives, and in some cases, through entirely new compositions inspired by the cities.
My proposed work for Monument Lab intends to explore the city of Philadelphia through the concept of collective memory. Herein, I am interested in how Philadelphia remembers (or forgets) its past, and how over time these collective memories have been passed from one generation to the next.
The point of departure for this work begins with what the city of Philadelphia remembers and what it choses not to remember in terms of its history. The question is put across its citizenry in the form of research feedback, either online or offline (website feedback or real-time data collection), and then the resultant feedback is processed.
The idea is to create a musical composition for an orchestral/choir performance from the research feedback. This feedback will either inspire a composer to work with me in creating a new musical composition, or provide us with data that is converted into a musical score. This can be achieved by running the resultant data through an analytical software.
The final composition would be performed by a choir ensemble. I am interested in working with a choir ensemble. The musical piece will be performed by the orchestra/choir and recorded on separate channels for the individual voices and instruments. These recordings will be re-installed as a multi-channel sound installation in a public space.
About the Artist
Emeka Ogboh's works contemplate broad notions of listening and hearing as its main focus. He transposes, inserts, and installs sounds in diverse locations to contemplate compelling issues surrounding migration, globalization, and post colonialism, amongst other topics. His sound recordings also consider the history and aural infrastructure of cities, Lagos, Nigeria in particular. These Lagos recordings have produced a corpus of work entitled "Lagos Soundscapes," which he has installed in different contexts.
Ogboh has begun to explore audio archives, a recent interest in history, and how nostalgia and memory intersect in the conceptualization of the present. He is also working with music composers in creating new audio works that open the listener's ears to locating narratives that are often embedded in sounds.
Ogboh is a 2014 DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) grant recipient, the cofounder of the Video Art Network Lagos, and the 2016 Prize of the Böttcherstraße in Bremen winner.

Getting Started Guide
Page 1 of 1 • Share
Re: Getting Started Guide
When you first take a look at Masami, it can be a bit over whelming. This guide should help you in getting started in Masami as soon as possible.
Step One: Read the Story. It's important to know how Masami is the way she is so you can fulfill your role playing experience.
Step Two: Go over the Rules. There aren't many and they're pretty basic and easy to follow. Just look over them and keep them in the back of your head while you continue playing on Masami.
Step Three: Choose a team you'd like to join. On the home page, you'll find a section called "Territories". Underneath, you'll find names like "Busa", "Nova", and "Wanderers". Take a good look through the teams information and decide. Once you've done that, go onto step four.
Step Four: Create a character and Join. In the bottom of the Home page, there is a category called "Out of Character" and underneath you'll find a forum called "Join Applications". There are a couple things to remember when making your application.
- You'll need to post general character information like their name, age, location when they were on Earth, and an email for emergency contact.
- Just underneath that, post of at least 3 paragraphs of character description. This should include physical attributes, personality, and some background history.
- Underneath that, write a role play of how your character went from Earth to Masami. What were they doing? How did they get there? And where did they end up? This should be at least 5 paragraphs.
- When you've posted you're role play, I will jump in and role play with you. We will each write about 3 role plays before you can be titled as a member of any team.
Step Five: Once you've been titled as a member of a team, bond with you team mates by chatting with them and role playing with their characters. You can role play with other team members as well.
- Remember to take a look at other things on the website like the Out of Character and the chatbox at the bottom of the home page. Have fun!

For the third year in a row, I was in charge of producing, curating and designing the Port City Review. This year I hired two amazing designers, Eli Schneider and Jordan Wright to design the journal with me.
This edition explores, both visually and thematically, the relationship between dark and light. This was our guiding principle as we laid out pieces from dozens of artists, each with its own unique inspiration. The beginning of the book focused on work that was heavier in mood and tone. This slowly transitioned towards the light hearted pieces at the end.
Tabs on the top of each of the left hand pages explore the theme. Each page uses a slightly lighter tone/swatch - from the side of the book, users see a visual representation of the dark to light transition.
Page numbers and pull quotes are handwritten. This is to emphasize the more human aspect of the journal.
Port City Review Tablet App
For the third year I decided to publish the journal as a mobile app available on the app store. Due to the limited number of print copies we can produce per year, the digital version allows us to extend our reach to the larger community. This was designed and programmed in Adobe's Digital Publishing suite. Many interactions and animations were native to the program while others were additional web elements that we had to code. The app can be viewed in both portrait and landscape orientation.

The two structures are linked by a cave and an elevator. The angular butterfly roof design is accentuated by steel, glass, and concrete block, while floor to ceiling glass windows throughout bring in natural light and views. Metal catwalks and custom designed concrete fermentation tanks expertly accommodate the various styles of wine produced. A broad, modern, metal canopy, supported on one end by a single V shaped column, extends from the butterfly roof, providing shade for the crush area below.

A Nevada rancher in a standoff with the U.S. government over his use of public land was ripped by Republicans and earned a fresh tongue lashing from the top Senate Democrat after he made racist remarks.
GOP Sens. Rand Paul and Dean Heller on Thursday both slammed rancher Cliven Bundy for comments he made in a New York Times article about African-Americans.
"I've often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy," Bundy said in an April 23 Times article. Bundy also referred to African-Americans as "the Negro."
Heller, a Nevada Republican, has previously defended Bundy in the rancher's standoff with the federal government, as did Kentucky Republican Paul. Heller has referred to Bundy's supporters as "patriots," while Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, the chamber's majority leader, has ripped the rancher's backers as "domestic terrorists."
Heller's spokesperson Chandler Smith said the senator "completely disagrees with Mr. Bundy's appalling and racist statements, and condemns them in the most strenuous way."
Rand Paul took to Twitter for his own denunciation of the rancher's comments.
Reid, meanwhile, charged Bundy with hypocrisy and being a "hateful racist."
Bundy owes the federal government more than $1 million in grazing fees. Other Democrats have denounced him as well, including Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who leads the Democratic National Committee.
Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, also slammed the rancher's comments. Priebus also said he doesn't anticipate Bundy's comments will have any impact on the chances of Las Vegas to host the 2016 Republican National Convention. Democrats are also considering Las Vegas for their convention.

Amy & Lloyd's Wedding
If this is love, then love is easy, it's the easiest thing to do,If this is love, then love completes me, cause it feels like I've been missing you.
OK, so McFly might not mean that much to some of us, but Amy and Lloyd chose it as their wedding song, if only so they could snigger at the guests singing "Do do do do do do do" - A LOT!
You know those weddings when you just want everything to go right for the couple - you wish for sunshine, try to pause time so they can take a breath, and ensure you capture every second so they can enjoy it all again and again long after the sun goes down on their big day? Well, this was one of those.
When I first met Lloyd and Amy to discuss their wedding plans, we couldn't help but talk about Lloyd's main interest (other than Amy!). You see, Lloyd is one of the UK's best strongmen! I grew up watching the likes of Jon Pall Sigmarsson and Geoff Capes (who I once met) battle for the World's Strongest Man title. My more recent favourite strongman was Mariusz Pudzianowski, but now he is off the scene I will be watching Lloyd's progress closely.
I met Amy at the Shelleys Hotel early on the big day and found quite a calm environment, so after a few "preparation" shots, I left the ladies to finish off their hair, makeup and clothes. Meanwhile, I investigated the interesting nooks and crannies of the hotel, looking for somewhere to hang her beautiful wedding dress for a shot. Having found a few suitable spots, I shot the dress and returned it to Amy's room where, as I entered, the Maid of Honour gasped, claiming the dress was now covered in mud! It wasn't, of course, but it highlighted the kind of jokers whose company I shared. Once the bride was ready, she was chauffeured in a Rolls Royce Corniche convertible, while Lloyd and his best man Rob Frampton anxiously awaited her arrival.
The service was held at the absolutely delightful Northease Manor in Rodmell. The vintage-style decoration was taken care of by the fabulous Hannah Best, and it suited the venue and the couple perfectly. The wedding cake was very different - all ruffled, like an upside down wedding dress. It was truly impressive and tasted lovely! For the wedding breakfast, the table arrangement included modelling balloons and miniature aeroplanes for everyone's amusement. It is wonderful to watch adults become children again!
In the evening, as the DJ got into his groove, the remainder of the guests started to arrive, the sweetie table was brought out, the lights dimmed and it was party time. As I glanced across at a doorway I saw a familiar face - Laurence Shahlaei, another strongman. With all these big boys now filling up the same room, I seized the opportunity to take them outside and photograph them all together. Then it was back into the party for the first dance.
It was an absolute pleasure to photograph this wedding and I could not have wished for a better day. All the best for the future to you both.

NCI Drug Dictionary
The NCI Drug Dictionary contains technical definitions and synonyms for drugs/agents used to treat patients with cancer or conditions related to cancer. Each drug entry includes links to check for clinical trials listed in NCI's List of Cancer Clinical Trials.
- cabazitaxel
A semi-synthetic derivative of the natural taxoid 10-deacetylbaccatin III with potential antineoplastic activity. Cabazitaxel binds to and stabilizes tubulin, resulting in the inhibition of microtubule depolymerization and cell division, cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase, and the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. Unlike other taxane compounds, this agent is a poor substrate for the membrane-associated, multidrug resistance (MDR), P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pump and may be useful for treating multidrug-resistant tumors. In addition, cabazitaxel penetrates the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)
Synonym: taxoid XRP6258 US brand name: Jevtana Code name: RPR-116258A
Chemical structure: 1-hydroxy-7β,10β-dimethoxy-9-oxo-5β,20-epoxytax-11-ene-2α,4,13α-triyl 4-acetate 2-benzoate 13-[(2R,3S)-3-{[(tertbutoxycarbonyl]amino}-2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate]
