text: Sergio Garcia produced a bogey-free round which included a hole in one on the eighth hole [Getty Images]Sergio Garcia has shot a seven-under-par round of 65 to share the lead with Justin Rose after two rounds of the Thailand Championship. Garcia, who finished fourth last year, produced a bogey-free round on Friday which included the shot of the day, a hole in one on the 236-yard (metre) eighth hole, the 10th of his career. Rose, the US Open champion followed a birdie on the second hole with a bogey on the third, but came back to hole two birdies and an eagle at the 11th for a round of 68 to add to his opening 65. Their tally of eleven under par gave the pair a two stroke lead over India's Anirban Lahiri, France's Alexander Levy , and Germany's Alex Cejka. Rickie Fowler of the USA, on his 25th birthday, shot a round of 66 to finish on eight under par. Henrik Stenson improved from his opening 70 with a round of 67, to finish on seven under par alongside Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat, India's Sujjan Singh and Australia's Andrew Dodt. Defending Champion Charl Schwartzel of South Africa shot a second round of 73, to finish eight shots of the pace on three under par. Four-time European Tour champion Cejka had earlier upstaged the star-filled field with an eight-under 64 to take a one-shot lead after the first round. SOURCE: AP Sport Golf

It wasn't on the agenda
Another Multi-National Force Iraq press release refers to a Lebanese-backed insurgent group --
In their continued degradation of the Kata'ib Hezbollah criminal network, Coalition forces picked up two suspected associates during operations Friday morning in New Baghdad ... While Kata'ib Hezbollah is not part of Special Groups, it is similar in that it's reported they receive support from Iran in the way of funding, logistics, and weapons such as improvised rocket assisted mortars. They are also believed to receive guidance or direction from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps – Quds Force.
The only difference between the two groups is that the Hezbollah group, allegedly, receives Iranian support via Lebanon.
While the US military seems concerned about this group, it doesn't seem to have disrupted the rapport between Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki and Lebanese PM Fouad Siniora, the latter visiting the former a couple of days ago. He's in a coalition government with Hezbollah.
UPDATE 27 SEPTEMBER: Another press release referring to the group --
Kata'ib Hezbollah is assessed to be a proxy of Iran, and its members are believed to employ improvised rocket assisted mortars as well as explosively formed penetrators in civilian areas.

Tears come early and often during "Stronger," the incredibly moving biopic of Boston Marathon bombing survivor Jeff Bauman. Never manipulative yet always captivating, this portrait of one ordinary man is an extraordinary motion picture. In fact, it's arguably the best of the year so far. Incredible acting, heavy emotions, and an earned feeling of inspiration come with this one. Even more impressively, none of it is done in the cliched ways of traditional Hollywood biopics. This is a little grittier and more complicated, much like real life. Kudos to all involved here.
Director David Gordon Green centers everything on the central performances, especially in terms of Jake Gyllenhaal. Close-ups of his face during powerful sequences, as well as more common moments, make this all the more intimate of an experience. The camera is right there as Gyllenhaal's Jeff tries to get out of bed or off a toilet seat and crashes face first onto the floor. You see the agony on his face when that happens, as well as the frustration. Right there as well is Green's camera for medical procedures, ones that cause as much pain as anything the man has ever experienced. On the flip side, a powerful sex scene is also done in this close-up. It invests you even deeper in this tale than you already would have been.
Bauman's story is notable because of its simplicity. If anything, he was an underachiever. His tale of triumph is deeply personal, relying fully on his own will to live and go on engaging with life. "Stronger" captures this magnificently, eschewing hero worship. In fact, this is what others require in a hero, whether or not that person wants the job. Furthermore, it hits on how trauma and the survival of a tragedy may seem uplifting to outsiders, but for the victim, it's anything but. Other characters in the film may find Bauman's story inspirational, but for him, it's far from that. He's just trying to find the will to go on.
We're introduced to Jeff (Gyllenhaal) as he's screwing up his minimum wage job, something it seems he's prone to doing. He's in a hurry to get to a bar to watch the Red Sox since he's convinced he's a lucky charm. There, he has his friends, his uncle Bob (Lenny Clarke), his mother Patty (Miranda Richardson), and a whole community. On that particular day, his on again, off again girlfriend Erin Hurley (Tatiana Maslany) has arrived as well, fresh off of their third breakup. Jeff is determined to win her back, but she sees him as a child. They love each other, but he still lives at home, isn't ambitious, is always late, and in her words, never shows up for anything.
Jeff is determined to prove her wrong this time and has told her that he plans to be at the finish line of the Boston Marathon she's running in, with a sign and everything. This time, he actually does show up, having even made the sign. Unfortunately, this is 2013, and terrorists detonate bombs at the finish line. Jeff was close enough to the bomb to have seen one of the bombers and actually will be able to identify him to the FBI while in the hospital. Sadly, he's there because his legs were so badly damaged that they had to be amputated.
Erin races to be by his side, despite opposition from Patty and indifference from Jeff's father Big Jeff (Clancy Brown). Once out of the hospital, Jeff is hailed by Boston and the country as a hero. His mother embraces it wholeheartedly, parading him in front of cameras at all turns. Erin sees what this is doing to Jeff and stands up to Patty, but he's unwilling to take sides unless forced.
Despite that, Jeff and Erin begin dating again, even moving in together, under Patty's roof. Jeff also begins physical therapy, with the hope of being able to use prosthetic legs. This requires dedication though, and Jeff isn't the most dedicated of patients. His mother is of no help, more concerned with getting him high-profile interviews. Erin is wary of that, especially when one such event showcases the trauma still going on in Jeff's head. Beyond that, she just knows the environment he's in isn't conducive to him actually getting to where they both need him to be.
When his old unreliable habits begin sprouting up again and Erin learns what they're immediate future holds, she lays down what she needs from. She needs him to show up, something he's only ever done once, with devastating consequences. This being a true story, you know where it ends up, but watching the evolution of the characters and how they get there is amazing. In particular, a sequence with Carlos (Carlos Sanz), the man who saved his life, is just heart-wrenching.
Two of the best performances of 2017 are easily found in "Stronger". Both Jake Gyllenhaal and Tatiana Maslany are stunning, turning in work that deserves to be remembered by Oscar voters. Gyllenhaal is as good as he's ever been, while Maslany might actually be best-in-show here. He embraces Jeff's flaws, his pain, and his realism about what his life may turn out to be. She's fierce and loving and unwilling to put up with his crap. A scene in the third act set in a car is one of the best scenes of the year. Emotions are raw and both of them are at the tops of their respective games. You'll be blown away. This is as human and heartbreaking as Gyllenhaal has been since "Brokeback Mountain".
Nearly as good as Gyllenhaal and Maslany is Miranda Richardson. Playing a foul-mouthed drunk, Richardson never lets you lose sight of how much she loves her son. He's all she has, so her dislike of Erin is understandable in a way. Furthermore, she just feels real. It's a lived-in performance worthy of praise and potential notice come awards season. he aforementioned Clancy Brown and Lenny Clarke are effective in small roles, while Carlos Sanz aces his one scene. Other supporting turns come from the likes of Richard Lane Jr., Patty O'Neil, Nate Richman, Frankie Shaw, and more.
David Gordon Green has made many different types of movies over the course of his career. His brushes with the studio system, outside of "Pineapple Express," have been lesser works, though "Stronger" is a home run. Brimming with emotion like early Green films such as "All the Real Girls," this puts characters and heart above all. The quirks of Jeff's family clearly interest him, as does some of the lesser seen issues relating to the loss of one's legs. While Green's style is less on display, this is easily his most mature work to date.
The script by John Pollono is very no frills, though stuffed with Boston personality. The dialogue sounds natural, so while it's not snappy, it never feels dry. On more than one occasion, what otherwise would have felt close to a standard biopic speech moment is peppered with creative foul language. On the surface, that might not seem to be an improvement, but it gives an already delicious broth some welcome spice.
Below the line, cinematographer Sean Bobbitt and editor Dylan Tichenor do fantastic work keeping things tight. Bobbitt captures faces in an intense yet beautiful way, be it a sexy scene, a medical sequence, or just a moment of strong emotion. Tichenor helps Green keep the pace going, as two hours just fly by. The score by Michael Brook hits just the right notes for the material. None of the technical work is flashy, but it all helps make the movie as fantastic as it ultimately is.
As far as biopics go, "Stronger" carves out a small niche by rejecting the concept of hero worship. Instead, it just tells a very human relationship story. This is as much a character study as anything else. Gyllenhaal, Maslany, and Richardson offer up three of the best performances of 2017. One of the absolute top films of the year to date, "Stronger" is a special achievement. If you love awards-friendly biopics but wish they felt a little more realistic and blue collar, this is for you.
"Stronger" is distributed by Lionsgate / Roadside Attractions and opens in theaters on September 22.

Here we are, well here I am, with The Path of Daggers which is of course the eighth book of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time. While it isn't a terrible book, it is the weakest book in the series up to this point. Although Jordan overlaid a great level of detail in previous installments, here in The Path of Daggers those details border on obsessive bloat. This does not bode well for future books in the series (he says knowingly).
The Path of Daggers is an important book in the series for me personally, one that I recall reading quite well even if some of the plot details don't stick so strongly in my memory. For starters, it was the first installment of the series I bought new upon publication (much like Leigh Butler, curator of The Wheel of Time Re-read). While I was able to get other books on remainder shelves in hardcover at Barnes and Noble (The Fires of Heaven and Lord of Chaos), in my frenetic reading of the series it was The Path of Daggers for which I anticipated its new release. It is also the first installment to reach #1 on The New York Times bestseller list, a string that has continued with each consecutive installment since. Furthermore, I remember reading the book so well because I was on Jury Duty at the time of the book's publication (the first of three times I was called to perform my civic duty and each time in a different NJ County over the past 15 years) and one of my fellow jurors was just starting to read The Wheel of Time.
I remarked on the cover Sweet provided for A Crown of Swords, so I'll do the same here since The Path of Daggers has Sweet's best cover for the series. Rand looks…like Rand should look and the scene on the cover actually happened in the book. It is a majestic, grandiose cover and is bittersweet since it shows that Sweet really was able to put together a great cover. The eBook cover, while very eye-catching in how well it captures a scene in the book, strikes me as the cover of an X-Men comic (with Elayne as Jean Grey, Nynaeve as perhaps Psylocke, and Avihenda as a slightly demure looking Emma Frost). Then again, our primary characters can really be considered superheroes.
Anyway, the book itself does feature events important to the overall story arc I enjoyed even if some sifting through the details was required.
The power trio of Elayne, Nynaeve, and Aviendha use the Bowl of Winds, the Macguffin of A Crown of Swords after much bickering with the Atha'an Miere aka The Sea Folk. Elayne later claims the throne Andor despite her mother being secretly alive and under the guise of another name.
Rand is a loony dickhead with a crazed demigod living in his head. We saw trickles of Lews Therin previously, but here Rand seriously questions his own sanity. Of course my gal Min (and maybe Davram Bashir who Rand says is the only person he can trust) is the only one who can keep him grounded.
The Seanchan finally invade and Jordan shows even more of their brutal society. I think The Path of Daggers, up to this point, provides the largest percentage of the books' narrative from the Seanchan point of view in the series to this point. It is not pleasant and illustrates, along with Padan Fain, the many obstacles not specifically related to Shaitan to the Light's hoped-for victory at Tarmon Gai'don.
Rand's storylilne interweaves with the Seanchan when their armies clash in a bout of great chaos which is brought to a close by Rand's ill-advised use of the terangel Callandor. The effects are devastating both to Rand and the armies involved. The character of Cadsuane makes another appearance in an attempt to admonish Rand. I realize Cadsuane grates on quite a few fans/readers of the series, but I find here interesting.
The storyline that worked best for me was Egwene further cementing herself as the true Amyrlin Seat. Not comfortable or satisfied with being a puppet to other sisters, she takes bold, public steps to ensure her authority is not questioned. Previously I found her storyline not quite as compelling as the other characters initially from the Two Rivers, but I think Jordan stepped up her story a bit more in The Path of Daggers. At least she's much more than a simple Aes Sedai and will play nearly as crucial a role in the lead up to the end as will Rand.
Perrin's POV took up a good portion of the novel, too. His frustration with the Wise Ones can be seen as a parallel to reader's frustrations with those characters. More than any other character, I've long pegged Perrin as "our" eye in the series, a regular guy adjusting to irregular circumstances. Sure Rand is in the same situation, but as the Savior and Dragon Reborn he soon becomes "Other" and difficult for us to identify with as closely as we can with Perrin.
Perrin's frustrations are much more relatable since his problems involve real people, both from his home and those outside the circle of people he knows. Conversely, Rand is a man of the world, the global leader of the Forces of Light. Although Jordan does convey empathy for Rand's plight fairly well in some instances, there's still a distance between the reader and Rand that isn't present with Perrin. Additionally, though Mat is more of "a regular guy" than Rand, his luck and all prophecies surrounding him also create a distance from the "regular guy" mold that Perrin embodies. Not surprising since the gods after which he is modeled, Perun and Thor, are considered gods of the common man. This type of myth-matching and resonance is one of my favorite elements of The Wheel of Time.
Perhaps the most disheartening aspect of this book, is of course the absence of Matrim Cauthon whose fate at the end of A Crown of Swords was seriously in question. A chapter midway through the installment was emblazoned with the dice icon that had long been associated with Mat; unfortunately, it did not announce his appearance but rather the import of luck and members his army The Band of the Red Hand, particularly Talmanes Delovinde.
In a nutshell, The Path of Daggers is a book where important things happen, but you have to get through some more gristle than is comfortable to digest in order to get to the meat. Engaging parts that don't add up to the sum of the whole all told, but I am still enjoying this re-read being and enmeshed in Randland a great deal.

"Fashion Santa": An Intellectual Property Yuletide Carol
Wednesday, December 21, 2016Chris JuniorIntellectual Property, LitigationCopyright, Trademarks, Santa Claus, Retail Shopping
Last year, Paul Mason became a social media phenomenon while working the holiday season as a pseudo Santa Claus, dubbed Fashion Santa, at the Yorkdale Shopping Centre. Fashion Santa, a stylish Saint Nick, portrayed by Paul Mason, caused a festive sensation with shoppers and celebrities alike. However, a dispute between Mason and Yorkdale over the ownership of the rights to Fashion Santa prevented Mason from donning the role of Fashion Santa at Yorkdale this holiday season. In short, the case of Fashion Santa has now become a yuletide intellectual property dispute.
The Canadian Intellectual Property Office records indicate that on December 8, 2015, Oxford Properties Group Inc., which manages Yorkdale Shopping Centre, filed a trademark application for "Fashion Santa" and "Yorkdale Fashion Santa". Subsequently, Mason filed a trademark application for "Fashion Santa" on December 21, 2015, and on December 22, 2015, registered a copyright in a literary work first published in September 2014 entitled "Fashion Santa". With respect to the trademark, both parties claim November 2014 as the date of first use in their applications, and are presumably referring to the same event and/or use.
If "Fashion Santa" is in fact a trademark, it is important to identify who was using it first to distinguish themselves as the source of goods or services that is "Fashion Santa" and thus assert exclusive rights in it. Both parties' claim to ownership of the "Fashion Santa" trademark appear to stem from the same events and/or use, and as such, in order to determine ultimate ownership, a determination of the rights and ownership of the trademark will likely need to consider the nature of the contract, be it employment or otherwise, between Mason and Yorkdale in combination with the trademark applications and use of the trademarks. Like most litigation, this matter is likely to turn on the facts.
Ultimately, and unfortunately, it appears this dispute has arisen as a result of the parties collective failure to sort out ownership of Fashion Santa at the commencement of the business arrangement between Mason and Yorkdale in 2014. Had the parties memorialized their understanding of the terms of ownership of Fashion Santa in writing at that time, they may not be at the present juncture. Of course, Fashion Santa did not have the status and success it presently experiences and it is unlikely that either party turned their mind to this issue. With that said, any good agreement will govern between the parties at present, but also anticipate the issues which may arise in the future.
The snowball fight between Mason and Yorkdale appears to have come to a frost in recent weeks. With that said, unless the parties are able to giftwrap a settlement before the 2017 holiday season, Fashion Santa is likely to take a sleigh ride to the courts.
Happy Holidays!

Karen Wright (Toronto)
1. Who is in your family?
Karen Wright (51), Tim Roberts (51), Brendan Roberts (12), Conor Roberts (10).
2. What's your favourite thing to do together as a family?
There are a few TV shows that we all enjoy and watch together regularly. We go to the park and play baseball (apparently I catch and throw better than most moms). The boys took up golf this summer and we played as a foursome, which was great fun.
3. What's your favourite family meal?
Tacos. Or ribs – Tim makes them with maple syrup.
4. What's your favourite TV show or movie to watch together?
Glee, America's Got Talent and American Idol. We like going out to movies – we all loved Avatar.
5. What was your favourite family vacation, or where would you most like to go on a trip together?
We enjoy Deerhurst and Rocky Crest, and we've had some great holidays on Sanibel Island in Florida. We'd like to go to Atlantis in the Bahamas.
6. What's your favourite holiday and how do you celebrate?
Christmas – we stay home and have Grandma over for turkey dinner. It's simple and we like it that way – nothing frenetic. We also get together with my (Karen's) brother and sister and their kids sometime over the Christmas holidays, usually up north at one of their places.
7. What's the most hectic time of day for your family? What goes on then?
The boys each have a few things they're involved in but not too many, so we don't suffer from the problem of everybody having to be in several places all at once. As the boys get older it's tougher for them to get up early so sometimes mornings get a little rushed, and after school we require that homework get done before dinner.
8. What's the most relaxed time of day for your family? What goes on then?
Evenings – after dinner and before bed time – are pretty low key and we're usually all together. And there's usually at least one day on the weekend with nothing planned, so on those days the boys usually have friends over.
9. How do you divide up chores in your family? Who handles what?
Both the boys have daily jobs to earn allowance – Conor sets the dinner table and Brendan clears up after dinner. Tim does groceries and makes dinners and gets the boys off to school and picked up at the end of the day and usually does the running-around errands, as well as big jobs like house repairs. I (Karen) arrange vacations and co-ordinate activities and schedule play dates and ensure everybody's got clothes and school stuff, and I'll often handle meals on the weekends when I'm around and have the time.
10. What do you most wish you could change about your family life?
I (Karen) wish there were about six more hours in every day, so I could exercise more consistently, be home for the after-school time, be available for school volunteering and other activities with the moms of my kids' classmates and do more projects around our home.

DEA-Ja Vu: Drug Enforcement Agency Overrules It's Own Administrative Law Judge — Says NIDA's Marijuana Monopoly Must Continue
Just days after November's Presidential election I outlined various ways that President-Elect Obama could use the power of the executive branch to shape U.S. marijuana policy. One of my top suggestions was:
As president, Obama can also support scientific, clinical research into the medical properties of cannabis by encouraging the DEA to abide by the February 2007 ruling of the agency's own administrative law judge, which found that it would be "in the public interest" to allow private entities to grow medical-grade cannabis for FDA-approved trials.
Thanks to a parting shot by outgoing DEA Deputy Administrator Michele Leonhart, the new administration may never get that opportunity.
On Wednesday, January 7th, Ms. Leonhart published a 118-page decision setting aside DEA Administrative Law Judge Mary Ellen Bittner's 2007 ruling. The DEA's decision constitutes a formal rejection of University of Massachusetts at Amherst Professor Lyle Craker's petition, filed initially June 24, 2001, to cultivate research-grade marijuana for use by scientists in FDA-approved studies aimed at developing the drug as a legal, prescription medication.
To those not wholly familiar with this case and Judge Bittner's ruling, here's how I initially reported on it:
[Judge Bittner's] ruling affirms that the DEA in 2004 improperly rejected an application from the University of Massachusetts (UMass) at Amherst to manufacture cannabis for FDA-approved research.
Bittner opined: "I conclude that granting Respondent's application would not be inconsistent with the Single Convention, that there would be minimal risk of diversion of marijuana resulting from Respondent's registration, that there is currently an inadequate supply of marijuana available for research purposes, that competition in the provision of marijuana for such purposes is inadequate, and that Respondent has complied with applicable laws and has never been convicted of any violation of any law pertaining to controlled substances. I therefore find that Respondent's registration to cultivate marijuana would be in the public interest." (emphasis mine)
… Because Judge Bittner's 2007 ruling is non-binding, the DEA has no deadline to act on it.
Under current policy, all federally approved research on marijuana must utilize cannabis supplied by and grown under contract with the US National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). By contrast, other controlled substances – including LSD, heroin, and MDMA (Ecstasy) – are available to researchers from multiple private manufacturers.
In 2004, the agency's director, Nora Volkow, stated that it is "not NIDA's mission to study the medical uses of marijuana."
In her rejection of Judge Bittner's ruling, Deputy Administrator Leonhart makes it clear once again that politics — not science — continue to govern America's policies toward the research and use of medicinal cannabis.

She probably did it just to spite NORML for suggesting it. I'll bet the DEA has this feed on their daily RSS 🙂 Anyway there's lots of good (and bad) news shaping up right now about cannabis law reform, and as the grassroots movement you've created continues to gain national traction, especially in the national media (hopefully), more and more good news will come.
Oh, and the diamond to take out of this is that the Obama administration has, at the very least, heard a loud bark from the community on this issue. While they may choose to ignore it in the visible spectrum of things, you can rest assured, they heard more than a whimper. Their fixing to hear another bark from Change.org notwithstanding any shenanigans. I'm still burned by, and frequently bring up, Nancy Pelosi's idiotic comment about there not being enough support there yet. Well between The Hill, the Change Polls, the government needs only open it's eyes to see the support.
Typical. Well at least that'll keep the prices high for another couple decades. I should be able to retire by then.
I truly just do not understand the reason behind that decision. Honestly, what the hell was she trying to accomplish?
You've got to love it when these hypocrites contradict themselves. Clearly they're more interested in preserving and protecting their jobs, rather than the interests of the United States and its People. What a disgrace.
Corporatism wins out over truth once again.
Color me surprised.
The fact that the Drug Warriors are willing to block any and all attempts to allow legitimate scientific inquiry into the properties of cannabis speaks volumes about their fear of the truth.
If cannabis were truly the demon weed that they claim it is, one would think that they would welcome- and even encourage- honest research. If, on the other hand, they are fully aware that they have been lying to us all of these years…….
there is no "demon weed" and there never will be.
The biggest demon has always been alcohol
…sigh…. I'm trying to stay optimistic.
Burrow Owl: Not only are they fully aware that they have been lying to us all these years, they know that we know that they have been lying. They simply don't give a damn. I wouldn't expect the new administration to do anything differently

Southwest Avocado Chicken Salad
This post may contain affiliate links.
A savory, delicious, fresh Southwest Avocado Chicken Salad for lunch, brunch, dinner, or a potluck or holiday party dish! Made with fresh corn, avocado, chicken and beans, and drizzled with a tangy dressing. The more cilantro the better, as this is the ultimate summer meal!
Our recent trip to Seattle was an all time high for me. Having our kids with us for the weekend, in a very fun Seattle, with the gorgeous sun shining, was truly a gift for me.
Chicken Salad Recipe
But first, this chicken salad recipe, one of my favorite meals, especially when it's fresh corn season!
The secret is in the dressing, and of course for this mama, the more cilantro, the better the salad flavors become! :)
Everything is right about this salad, which makes it so popular at potlucks and smmer parties!
Mother's Day
Mother's Day was even more memorable for me, as our kids surprised me with … not a monetary gift, but a gift of words. They each said honoring words about me, which was humbling and beautiful to hear.
I've been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be a mother of grown children. With all three in their twenties, it was such a different life that we shared under one roof, just a few short years ago.
And yet, although my mothering duties have changed, I'm no less a mother today then I was then.
In fact, as I sat and listened to my kids, I realized that with or without them being present for the day, you still find your maternal instincts that you invest in everyday living, and share with the world. There are so many opportunities for us to give ourselves away, whether offering a meal to someone who could use one, or simply sitting quietly with a friend, or taking the time to talk on the phone with a friend who's afar.
To be fully present for one another is a gift to give, and in a spiritual sense, we can take our wisdom and use it for so many around us.
Southwest Avocado Chicken Salad
Our daughter Abby, who's in college in Seattle, created this recipe I'm sharing today: Southwest Avocado Chicken Salad.
I love how she cooks healthy food at school, and stays away from dorm food.
We hugged a lot, talked, shopped, and ate our way through Seattle last week.
She brought me one single red tulip.
Which meant the world to me!
I'm so thankful for my daughter, and my sons!
Happy Thursday, Friends!
Watch the video!

Star Spangled Rhythm (1943, Paramount Studios)
I bought this movie as a part of a Bob Hope Tribute Collection Double Feature DVD with My Favorite Blonde but just recently got around to watching Star Spangled Rhythm (though I must've watched the first 10 or 15 minutes at some point because I remembered those scenes).
Star Spangled Rhythm is a big time Hollywood comedy-musical that was put on by Paramount Studios during World World II as a morale booster. And when I say Paramount Studios, I mean Paramount Studios! Literally every signed star at that point was in this movie: Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Fred MacMurrary, Ray Milland, Victor Moore, Dick Powell, Betty Hutton, Marjorie Reynolds, Veronica Lake, Alan Ladd, William Bendix, Jerry Colonna, Dorothy Lamour, Paulette Goddard, Vera Zorina, Mary Martin, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Dona Drake, Eddie Bracken, Susan Hayward, etc., etc….! Even a few directors (Cecil B. DeMille, Preston Sturges and Ralph Murphy) appeared on camera and a couple of Paramount studio execs were spoofed as well.
I'm not a big fan of musicals, certainly not a fan of anything modern, but I'm slowly starting to appreciate these old Hollywood musicals. I attribute my appreciation mostly to the "Road Pictures" that featured musical numbers but were primarily zany comedies. Also, it helps that Bob Hope & Bing Crosby were in Star Spangled Rhythm as well but to be fair the DVD packaging is a bit misleading. Although Bing & Bob receive top billing over all the other stars, neither shows up until a little more than halfway into the movie.
The movie is put together in a neat way. The first half of the is a comedy that focuses on a Paramount Studios gatekeeper (Victor Moore), his son that's in the Navy (Eddie Bracken) & Paramount phone operator/son's girlfriend (the adorable Betty Hutton). It's a flimsy but legitimately funny and wacky story that builds up to all of Paramount's stars putting on a show for a bunch of sailors in the second half of the movie as a benefit. That's where Moore, Bracken and Hutton are given a rest and Paramount pulls out the big guns with songs, dances and more comedy skits. Bob emcees the benefit and is featured in a comedy skit while Bing closes the movie with a "Old Glory", a patriotic number.
There are a number of highlights in this movie, Betty Hutton being one of them. She's so adorable and cute in this movie I wanted to pinch her cheeks (and do other things to her as well). She's a great comedian and was a show-stealer. I especially enjoyed her wall climbing scene. Lots of physical comedy.
Bing & Bob typically put on great performances as did Eddie "Rochester" Anderson (from Jack Benny's radio troupe) with his musical number "Sharp As A Tack". Seeing Dorothy Lamour and Paulette Goddard (both frequent co-stars of Bob Hope) sharing the stage together was a real treat as well. Along with Veronica Lake, they poked fun at their sex symbol status with the song "Sweater, Sarong & Peekaboo Bang".
Big stars, great comedy and songs… Star Spangled Rhythm needs to be seen by fans of classic Hollywood.

Clearing Aunt's House (4)
April 17, 2010
Another Saturday, another clearing. First thing I noticed was that all the primroses from the front garden had been dug up. But the blue bells were still there, as well as a snakeshead fertilliary and I also found one hellibore (well out of the way).
As usual, there was tons of rubbish to sort through. Yet suddenly one scrap of newspaper came to my attention:
The detail is the interesting bit:
The gist of this article was to attack the BBC for the roll out of the television service (plus ca change).
End of the Saab.
April 14, 2010
A sad day today. I got a car scrap dealer to come and take the Saab away. At least it was pulled onto the back of a van, not lifted up with a crane. I even got £60 for it, but I'm sorry to see it go after 13 years. But it was breaking down too often and getting impossible to keep on the road.
I had kept it for a few days thinking about getting the exhaust pipe off, but not being able to move it, that would have been a very tricky roadside job.
The picture was taken at the last point the car got to under its own power, by the side of the M40 motorway up the hill towards Beaconsfield. I should have written it down, but I think the final mileage was 242120.
Easter Lunch.
April 4, 2010
Today I made two round trips to Mother's. One to pick her up, one to return her home. Destination was Brother's for Easter Lunch.
This was the first time that my nieces had seen Mother without her sister (their Great Aunt) for such a meal. But I took a photo of my maternal grandmother, their great grandmother, of the same name as the elder niece, found in the house clearing. The inscription is dated 19/4/23; almost 87 years ago, a fact that the girls were amazed at. There was some debate as to whether anyone (other than sister-in-law, obviously) took after her. The picture frame was very fragile, and I was impressed by the care the two children took over it.
It turns out the children like card games more than their mother, so I was roped into a game of contract bridge(!) Well, a demonstration game; I became dummy, but as brother was called away, I took his place, but played the game fully open so the girls could see the point. My original partner (elder niece) went down two tricks to her sister (my god-daughter) and me (playing their daddy's hand) – I was trying to play fair, but the lay of the cards made the original bid unwinnable. Bidding is as much a mystery to me as to them, but I could explain how to play the cards. Apparently brother and his wife were giggling, listening in as I was trying to explain how the two opponents should play their games…
But Sister-in-law told me brother was already tired of house clearing, (which is not much of a surprise…) and would skip anything; for the increase in value of the house empty would dwarf the price of anything sold. I agree with this point, but it means if I like something, I'll have to extract it immediately. Like that sewing machine I restored to working order. A similar one failed to sell on ebay for £25. Yet it is such an elegant, antique (in the ture sence), working model, it seems a crime to consign it to a skip…Knowing, as I now do, the mechanisms of this machine and the mechanical Singer machines, I know which is better.
Also, the sight of my "new" MB disappointed. Clearly not W124 fans, sister in law no longer demands a spin. It really does not help that her brother is a millionaire banker, and my brother earns many multiples of my salary as a civil servant. At least Mother likes it.
I popped into Aunt's tonight, partly to replace a blown bulb (we keep a light on all the time). We had discussed earlier in the day what the architect of the two isolated semi-detached houses must have been on when he drew up the plans in the early '30s. It is most bizarre, tiny high ceilinged rooms, and then to add insult, an awful '70's extension which throws much of the house into gloom. I also found the wiring to be even more eccentric than I supposed, for a switch outside the kitchen switched off the landing light, but not the hallway light, Why have the only switch for a light on a different level?
When I say I "popped in", this is clearly not my MB's favourate job. The old girl refused to change down unless forced (and I don't mean kick-down) when climbing the steep hills to Aunt's, which reminds me of the 1970's and family's first visit to Devon in an automatic 850cc Mini; and how we almost had to get out and push. The old girl is not that desperate, but does hate the steep hills of the Chilterns in this area. Mind you, they are steep, in parts, and I mean comparison with Porlock Hill steep, they would not be thought wimps. Two of the hills still retain emergency escape lanes in case the brakes fail (off, rather than on, which is now the case for large vehicles).
But in Aunt's I looked around, and I thought, no, for all my desire for a house, I cannot see me being comfortable in this house. For a start, I know exactly where in the house Aunt died. True I live in London,where it is never really quiet, as it would be here, but the silence was not a comfortable one for me. Parent's house is equally quiet, but I don't have that uncomfortable feeling there – but I grew up there.
The red cowslip 2010
April 3, 2010
I've not blogged much this year about the red cowslip. Of course there are a lot of other things going on. Anyhow, here is a photo taken yesterday.
Clearing Aunt's House (3)
April 2, 2010
Last week brother was clearing, and came across this:
This is a treadle sewing machine, which early research shows must be at least 100 years old; after 1905, this machine would have been branded "Singer", who took over the company.
One idea was to see if it would sell on ebay, as no-one has the space or desire for it (for me the former). So I went up to take some pics. Such as the maker's plate:
However, it did not want to run. So I opened it up, and found a huge tangle in the underneath. It took a goodish time, but finally I cleared it (Aunt clearly had really mucked it up, and then given up with it). Incredibly, I was able to work out how to thread it up. Then using a J-cloth, being the first/only thing I could find, I gave it a spin:
The single draw in the table this is mounted on (it seems unusual, 4 draws are much more common on the internet) suggested that it had last been used just after decimalisation, so perhaps 35 – 40 years since it had "jammed" and not been used again.
The more I see this, the more I wish I could keep it, but where, and why?

The Good Relations Group published new research this week, about how 'good' consumers perceive brands to be in three areas: actions, recommendation and engagement.
Reporting on the research, Marketing Week said:
According to figures from Accenture, intangible or 'soft' assets such as reputation, relationships and supply chain are worth $35trn (£22trn) to businesses globally – much more than the $25trn (£16trn) attributed to tangible assets like property.
"Intangible assets are the most valuable but also the most vulnerable things that businesses have," says Jackie Brock-Doyle, chief executive of The Good Relations Group. "They're valuable because if people genuinely like you and your reputation is strong, they tend to tell other people about it. They are vulnerable though, because if what you are saying to customers doesn't have authenticity and you're not matching it with your actions, you will be found out quickly in today's social media age."
Brock-Doyle argues that intangible assets are vital to the sustainability of businesses. She notes that brands are increasingly inclined to mimic the products or pricing strategies of their competitors, meaning that brand values and reputation are key differentiators in the minds of consumers.

Breaking the Codex has Arrived!
Doug Beube's stunning new book Breaking the Codex has arrived! I have been a fan of Doug Beube's work for years and had the pleasure of seeing him last month in Toronto, and could not be more excited to share this book with you.
For thirty years, Doug Beube has taken the notion of what a book is and redefined it in ways lost to most of our imaginations, which is exactly why Beube's work is so compelling. Altering and manipulating books and maps in extraordinarily intricate and complex ways is his signature. "Through altered bookwork, collage, mixed media, paper and sculpture, my work explores the book itself, a seemingly antiquated technology that is still purposeful in a digital age."
Portrayed in this retrospective book are 600 of Beube's works, all beautifully photographed by Buebe himself. Thankfully he doesn't stop there. He offers lengthy commentary on the concept, materials and methods of his process. Also included in the book are several essays by critics, curators and writers. Breaking the Codex is more than another beautiful coffee table book. You'll go back to it time and time again to be informed, inspired and intrigued.
There is really no way to sum up this book in a paragraph or two. For those of you who love to make artists books, love to look at artists books, or just love books—this is the perfect book for you. We have six copies in the gallery for sale (for the same price as on Amazon) but no shipping, no waiting!
Canadian born, Beube lives and works in New York City. He teaches, lectures and exhibits worldwide. His artworks are in numerous private and public collections.

Product Description
New design: the mima moon can now be raised higher than ever before so it's perfect for maintaining that all important eye contact with your child.
The beautifully designed moon highchair perfectly blends modern design, comfort and safety. The moon converts effortlessly from a newborn lounger - the padded 5 point harness keeping a young child safely off the floor away from pets and overenthusiastic siblings, and gliding from a fully flat to a seated position as your baby grows in strength and co-ordination into a feeding highchair - with a tray and full height adjustment so that they can join you at the dinner table and finally, to a junior chair – just add cushions to make this a lovely comfy chair for a younger child to eat at the table or curl up in to read a book.
Up or down, the tray height moves from 71-89cm (28-35 inches), so however tall you are, you'll find it comfy to feed your child. The height is easily adjusted thanks to a foot-operated button on the chair's base and the base itself is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. Mima has chosen a 'U' shaped base, which is stable and yet can still fit neatly under a table.
The seat does not have fixed reclining positions, so you can choose the perfect seating position everytime. The smooth, join-free frame is reassuringly easy to clean – brilliant for those messy, early mealtimes.

NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) – The Super Bowl Host Committee expects more than 100,000 out-of-state visitors in the Dallas – Fort Worth Area during Super Bowl Week.
That's good for the local economy, but not for the local commuter, said Dr. Barabara Becker, dean of the School of Urban and Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Arlington.
"If we had a perfectly coordinated, integrated system, that would be ideal," she said. "But we don't, so there will be heavier reliance on the automobile."
North Texas isn't known for its mass transit. Yet this region has the daunting task of moving tens of thousands of visitors from point 'A' to point 'B.' So how will that happen?
Dallas Area Rapid Transit spokesman Mark Ball said DART will maintain a normal schedule during Super Bowl week, but will have buses and trains on standby.
"We've got buses that will be held in abeyance that we will pull out immediately if we need to provide service," Ball said. "In addition, our rail yard is just ten minutes away from the Dallas Convention Center."
T Buses in Tarrant County will also keep their same schedule. However, Fort Worth's free trolley, known as Molly, will add hours and service to its normal Downtown route to include the Stockyards and Cultural District.
The Trinity Railway Express will be the only mass transit option for fans traveling back and forth between Dallas and Fort Worth. The TRE is also joining forces with both the DART and The T by offering fans an MVP Transit Pass, which is valid from the Thursday before the big game through Super Bowl Sunday. The $30 pass provides unlimited use of those three transit options.
Fans staying in Dallas who wish to take mass transit to the game will have to jump on the TRE toward Arlington. Fans in Fort Worth will also take the TRE to Arlington. Those trains will take passengers to the Centreport Station, located off of U.S. 360 and Trinity Blvd.
Fans will then take a seven-mile shuttle bus to the Ballpark in Arlington for dropoff and pickup.
The TRE trip to Centrepoint is free for all. But fans without the MVP pass will pay $20 for the round-trip shuttle.
Finally, an army of taxicabs will hit the streets to pick up any slack. Every cab company in North Texas will have its entire fleet on the roads, which could mean visitors and locals alike might be able to hail a cab instead of calling and waiting.

There are now many videos on the web which show talented singers online, on TV and on other media platforms. The X-factor is one of the most popular TV shows which allows individuals the ability to take the centre stage and show a selection of judges what they are made of.
In this video we see a young individual by the name of Jeff Gutt who has a dream to support his child by earning a living through the music he creates.
The twist in this scene is that his child has never heard him sing before and will do so in front of millions of people.
The performance begins and the singer decides to carry out a rendition of Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley. As soon as he starts singing it is obvious that he has a high level of talent with his singing voice and the crowd are whisked off their feet as he carries out an incredible performance.
By the end of the performance the judges stand and the crowd in the audience are going wild. At the end of the performance when the judges all agree that he is a great singer, his son runs onto the stage and adds a nice twist to the end of the performance. Watch the video and share it on Facebook.

Run Signature: Exploring the Connect Experience
The Brooks Connect experience is defined by being flexible and lightweight to create a natural connection to the run. Lace up a Connect shoe and you'll feel your feet activate and get you through your run.
This month, we're looking at each of the four Run Signature footwear experiences. With Run Signature, once we assess how your body wants to run (the biomechanics part of the shoe fitting equation), we give you the choice of what experience you have on the run: Cushion, Energize, Connect or Speed. But don't feel bound to just one, you can pick which experience you want on any given day for any given run. Dive into the Cushion experience and the Energize experience and stay tuned for information on the Speed experience.
Our friend Mick Mominee wrote this about the Connect experience and the PureFlow shoe:
PureFlow is all you need to know.
Light and bright, these shoes changed my form.
Moving my strike to forefoot with delight, have injuries transformed.
I now run with chi feeling the road, flowing through the miles, not carrying a load.
Endurance or speed, these shoes have what I need.
I really cannot throw them away; I wear a pair each day.
One for housework, another to log miles, and a new pair on my shelf, ready for new trials.
PureFlow is my shoe having tried all the rest,
these Brooks make me feel like I'm running my best!
For runners looking for a flexible, lightweight, natural experience on the run check out this season's line up of Connect shoes.
You can shop women's shoes here and men's shoes here.
Not sure what kind of support you need or what kind of experience would be right for you? Start by learning more about Run Signature and use our Shoe Finder here. Also, check back on the blog each week this month to learn more about the other Run Signature categories.

At one point, as part of my writing course (yes I am still doing it – although admittedly very behind on my current assignment!), I was supposed to research trade magazines and specialist publications. Now, I could have spent hours trawling through 'Happy Tractors' and 'Existentialism for Beginners'1 in WHSmith. However, I decided to be practical and use my current contacts / resources – which is what a writer is supposed to do anyway.
I put a notice in the church notice sheet. Magazines, please!
Inevitably I got a very varied assortment! Some were of real interest, others were so jargon-ated I didn't have a clue. The idea was to find new markets for writing, and to see what was required to write for such magazines – content, references, style.
I did a sort out the other day where I was going through my general magazine 'stash'.
I decided my collection of Insurance Times could probably be recycled. But some of the others I kept – one technology and engineering magazine I found surprisingly fascinating. Management and business magazines can have articles on people skills and team work and stray into how people tick – very interesting. One had an article on the role of gossip – I kept that one, and will probably cut out the article for my clippings file eventually.
Yesterday I found the British Journal of School Nursing in my guitar case (what a strange sentence!) Someone must have given it to me when I had my guitar with me, and I slipped it into the nearest available compartment. Since I stopped my involvement in music at church for energy reasons, I've only just discovered it. I'm not a school nurse. I'm not a teacher. I'm not a parent and I'm not a child. But it is really interesting. This was an issue from 2008 and had articles on stress and mental health, confidentiality, sex education, weight, drama in education, competence and the age of consent and an interview with a school nurse at an independent Faith School.
Now I am not necessarily thinking of writing for any of these magazines – my knowledge on the subject is full of holes. But they cover topics that act as triggers – stimulating ideas, providing illustrations, looking at wider issues in specific ways. And, of course, they open a window on other people's worlds.
We need to stray outside our specialisms, including in relation to faith and theology . Many of these 'outside' elements can trigger connections we never knew were there – whatever our field or area of expertise.
1As far as I know these titles do not exist2. But if you fancy some bored googling, you can confirm that for me, if you really want to.
2 Rather ironic, considering the second one's title.

February 15, 2014
Simon writing here. I don't care if this is Hello Kitty. These things are the greatest invention for our studio in the winter. Because we're all using the big standing desk (which is SO MUCH healthier for you than sitting all day) our feet get cold. We wear slippers as well, but when it's really cold, we're all fighting for this thing. It's perfect. PERFECT! And our desk also has outlets you can plug lots of things into, like phone cables and laptop power cables, and the Hello Kitty foot warmer is always plugged in.
But all of the girls freaking use it all the time. Martina #1. Leigh #2. Soo Zee uses it rarely, because it's mostly 1 and 2 using it, and then I get it almost never, unless I squeeze my feet into it while Martina's using it. Then she snarls her lip at me and bares her teeth. I growl back. We both lock eyes with each other and then circle around each other, eyes locked, growling and barking. And then, right when we're about to duel to the death, Leigh steals the slippers. We haven't found an appropriate way to deal with Leigh yet. She doesn't understand the growling and circling. She is not one of the pack. I will pee on the spot in which she stands, though.
One thing we never understood about this thing is Meemers' aversion to it. We thought that the Meems would be in there all the time. It's a soft cave. He loves soft caves! He's totally taken over all of Spudgy's soft caves around the home. Spudgy just sits on the hard floor now, forlorn, looking at his once-home as his a-hole brother lounges in there, mockingly. Grow a pair, Spudgy! You're older than him! You can totally take him on! Nevermind. Point is, Meemers won't go near this thing at the studio. It's a soft cave, AND IT WARMS UP! He should be there all the time. He should be hissing at anyone trying to get close to it. I'm assuming that because it's a kitty he doesn't ant to go into it? Is that a violation of sacred cat law? Or is it because it's pink and Meemers doesn't want to be confused for a girl anymore and be as cat-manly as possible? I'm sorry we thought you were a girl before, Meemers! We couldn't find your fluffy balls! There was too much fluff! Forgive us! Actually, we'll be fine without him fighting for the Hello Kitty foot warmer. We'll keep that for ourselves, thanks!
So that's it for this week's WTF. What's everyone doing this weekend? We're just happy to be home this time. Last weekend we were in Japan for the crazy snowstorm. This weekend we can do the stuff we need to do for the rest of the week, like cook and clean! Wahoo! That doesn't mean we're done with videos for the week, though. Leigh and Soo Zee have a DICKS going up tomorrow. Yay! Yes, those are still around. Make sure you click on this pretty button down here so you don't miss out on any of our videos. Shwing!

Cyber Security violations should be dealt with: Sibal
NEW DELHI: Even as National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon feels that the issue needs to be settled in international law, Communications and IT Minister Kapil Sibal said Indian authorities should have the jurisdiction to deal with cyber attacks against the country irrespective of their source.
Sibal said that there should be "accountability and responsibility" in the cyber space. "If there is a cyber space violation and the subject matter is India because it impacts India, then India should have jurisdiction. For example, if I have an embassy in New York, then anything that happens in that embassy is Indian territory and there applies Indian Law.
"If the impact of such a violation is on India, then Indian courts must have the jurisdiction. That should apply across the world," he said.
When it was pointed out at an Observer Research Foundation seminar on cyber security that the American National Security Agency was accused of spying on Indian and other missions there, Sibal said, "Do not trivialise the issue."
Menon said, "It is not a settled issue in international laws. That is why you need an agreement and consensus on it."
Sibal said: "The issue of identity in cyber space is of enormous importance. There must be accountability and responsibility in the cyber space."
He said the government believed in complete freedom of cyber space. "Freedom of expression is central to our ideological stand on cyber space but at the same time, there should be a de facto recognition of threats that are there in cyber space."
"We need to deal with those threats locally and globally. We need a consensus on those. What we don't need is a governed space. I think governance in cyber space is oxymoron," he said.

Home For The Holidays
As the marketing team at a Continuing Care Retirement Community, we had the distinct pleasure of meeting a wide variety of fascinating, wonderful people. Very few of them walked into our offices because they had nothing better to do, though. Typically there was some kind of significant change or precipitating event that scared them, or their family, enough to get them through the door. We met with husbands whose wives were showing signs of dementia, widows who were tired of dealing with the stress of home maintenance, adult children who were concerned for their parents' safety, vibrant people, lonely people, and everything in-between. What always surprised us was just how many people we met – of all ages – who were oblivious or in complete denial about what was going on at that moment, as well as what was inevitably going to happen in the future. You know what we are talking about…
We don't live near our parents and we don't get to see them as often as we would like to, so we make every attempt to spend the holidays together. This year will be no exception. Thankfully, all four of them are in great health and are more than capable of handling their affairs, but we know that some day that will probably change. If, like us, you live far from your parents but will be with them during the holiday season, you may want to take advantage of this great opportunity to gauge how they are doing and find out if they have plans in place for when their care needs change.
Although you may not relish the idea of discussing whether or not your parents have a "Do Not Resuscitate" order as you pass the turkey around the table, there are many subtle (or not) ways to get an idea of what your parents' needs and desires are. We are currently developing an array of tools and resources designed to help individuals and families with all aspects of senior care. To get things started, click on the link below for a list of helpful questions and things to think about when you are with your family, and have a great holiday!

Welcome to China.
There are some new situations about Internet freedom and human rights in China since we met in February last year, and I hope I could have a chance to talk to you about them.
It would be better if you could chat with me in person. I would like to invite you to my home and have dinner together.
About Internet freedom:
Nowadays, Chinese authorities are censoring and deleting some online speech, landing some online commenters in prison for speech crimes. China's people are still unable to freely access the World Wide Web.
The Great Firewall that restricts Internet freedom is now higher than ever before.The situation for Internet freedom in China is getting worse.
The existence of China's Great Firewall is an embarrassment not just to China but to the human race, and an open challenge to public justice and the public consciousness.
For many years, Chinese who aspire for freedom have spilled their blood and sweat fighting for it.Chinese people will continue to try to push down every wall erected by their dictatorial government, but if the United States could help in the effort to tear down China's notorious Great Firewall, it would help China realize Internet freedom sooner.
About human rights:
Since 1949, Chinese dictators have robbed their people of their freedom and systematically violated human rights.Many dissidents and activists were harassed,detained,imprisoned or killed,forcing the country's citizens to live in fear.
The human rights situation in China is getting worse.Liu Xiaobo, Xu Zhiyong, Liu Xianbin, Chen Wei, Chen Xi, Wang Bingzhang, Peng Ming, Zhu Yufu, Guo Quan, Chen Kegui, Li Bifeng and other prisoners of conscience are still in prison.
Liu Xia remains under house arrest although she has not been charged with a crime.
Pu Zhiqiang, Guo Yushan, Gao Yu, Ilham Tohti, Zhang Lin, Yang Maodong, Liu Ping, Wei Zongping, Li Huaping, Zhao Fengsheng, Tang Jingling, Wang Qingying, Yuan Xinting, Ding Jiaxi, Zhao Changqing, Huang Wenxun, Zhang Shaojie, Chang Boyang, Lv Gengsong, Chen Shuqing, Wang Mo, Xie Wenfei,Wang Zang, Zhang Miao, Su Changlan, Chen Yunfei and others are suffering from political persecution.
Those Chinese prisoners of conscience currently imprisoned require our collective, sustained attention and support.
I call on the U.S. government to use the power of diplomacy and public opinion to request that China immediately free Liu Xiaobo, Xu Zhiyong and other prisoners of conscience jailed for political reasons, and refrain from any conduct that restricts their freedom.
Meanwhile I suggest that U.S. diplomats should pay attention to and supporting the families of prisoners of conscience.
Yours truly,
Zhang Jialong

Album of the Month - July 2018
Bodega - Endless Scroll
Bodega is the Brooklyn-based band of guitarist Ben Hozie, synth player Nikki Belfiglio, stand-up drummer Montana Simone, lead guitarist Madison Velding-VanDam (of The Wants) and bassist Heather Elle (of Please No Radio).
With wild minimalism and sharp wit, they revitalize the rock and roll vocabulary under the influence of post punk, contemporary pop, hip-hop, kraut rock, and folk-derived narrative songwriting. It's itchy, scratchy perfect pop that makes you want to sing along... even without knowing the words. The LP's fourteen songs offer a high-energy, humorous but earnest thirty-four minutes of listening pleasure.

Inside Out Adds Animated Short
Pixar's next animated feature film – Inside Out– is due out in one year, and today Pixar announced the short that will accompany the film. The short is titled Lava and is described as a musical love story that takes place over millions of years. Pixar gave LA journalists an early sneak preview last night and by all accounts, the footage shown was stunning. Pixar also showed the new poster for the short, which shows a beautiful, idyllic tropical island, frolicking (and paired!) sea-life, and a background of a smoldering volcano.
The released synopsis just says the story was inspired by the isolated beauty of tropical islands and the explosive allure of ocean volcanoes. This musical love story is directed by James Ford Murphy, a studio veteran who has animated on the company's films since 1998's A Bug's Life. The short is produced by Andrea Warren, also a long-time Pixar veteran.
Also announced was the first in-depth synopsis of the accompanying feature film, Pete Docter's Inside Out. According to the release, the film will be:
Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith).
The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley's mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.
Inside Out is directed by Pete Docter and co-directed by Ronnie del Carmen, and the producer is Jonas Rivera. Both films will hit theatyers- together- on June 19th, 2015.
Finally, here is an advance look at the characters inside the brain of Riley.

TENNIS coach Mike Booth smashed his PB with this impressive 7 lb 9 oz chub thanks to a simple bread approach on his local Hampshire Avon.
It follows a jumbo 7 lb 8 dr chub taken three weeks ago on the same bait – one that Mike thinks gives him a real edge.
Bournemouth, Dorset-based Mike explained: "The fish was caught during a short afternoon session in torrential rain.
"Bait was a small cube of bread crust on 5 lb line to a size 10 wide gape hook, a two swan link leger and medium quivertip rod.
"I believe the bread works so well due to the fish never seeing it these days and rather than being nervous of the usually-used boilies, pellets or meat they take it with confidence.
"I thought this stretch was capable of producing a large fish in the future but didn't realise there was a fish of that size on the water at the moment so I was really happy with the capture," added Mike.
CAUGHT A BIG FISH? Email photos and details exclusively to: email@example.com – you could star in the magazine.

Illustration students recognised in Creative Conscience and The Macmillan Prize 2016
BA (Hons) Illustration third year graduates have seen success in both Creative Conscience and The Macmillan Prize 2016.
Catherine Hood has been selected as a finalist in the Creative Conscience Awards for her illustrated guide to mindfulness.
She tells us more about her entry:
"My entry for the Creative Conscience Awards was an illustrated guide to mindfulness. Mindfulness is a type of therapy which teaches you to take a moment out of worrying for the future or past and to just be aware of the present.
This leads to a more considered, calm approach to everyday difficulties and stresses, and therefore leads to be a better quality of life.
I am very passionate about raising awareness for mental health, to erase the stigma attached to it, and for mental health to be treated as equal to physical health.
I believe that an individual's mental wellbeing should be as well considered and cared for as their physical fitness, and in this guide I wished to give the reader an easy and helpful way to fit mindfulness into their everyday lives.
Whilst I think mental health is a subject which should be taken and treated seriously, I didn't want to run the risk of alienating my audience.
It is important to me that whilst my work looks at serious and worthwhile subjects that I am passionate about, I treat the subject matter playfully and positively, in a manner which invites and welcomes the audience."
See Catherine's website for more of her work.
Catherine was also highly commended in The Macmillan Prize for Illustration 2016, alongside fellow Illustration graduate, Oliver John.
Ollie tells us about his work:
"I entered my recently completed final major project to Macmillan – Coughs and Sneezes, Spread Diseases.
It is a children's picture book that explores biological process in the human body at a cellular level. The common cold is a virus that is considered one of the most infectious viral diseases for humans and Coughs and Sneezes, Spread Diseases simplistically presents the process of this viral infection; specifically the method of replication and transmission – as it spreads from human to human.
"For my Major Project I was interested in exploring storytelling with regards to human biology. I wanted to produce a picture book that would focus on the education of one subject for young children. I wanted to allow children the opportunity to become exposed to an understanding of their body and health at an early age.
By characterising cells and molecules I hoped to convey scientific ideas and concepts surrounding illness with ease – rather than confusing excessive textual explanations. I believe that is is fundamental that children are educated on their body.
That they understand the complexity of the systems within us – how illness and unhealthy lifestyles can have implications on the functions of our bodies throughout life."
See Ollie's website for more.
The winning and highly commended work will be exhibited at Folyes, Charing Cross.

Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's president, has pushed through 26 new laws, covering changes in areas ranging from the military to small businesses.
The package of laws, which were published in the official gazette on Monday, were enacted on July 31, the final day of an 18-month period during which Chavez had been granted special legislative powers.
The new laws includes measures which would set up neighbourhood-based militias, move the country towards a socialist economy and increase state control over agriculture.
The decrees met with opposition from Fedecamaras, the Venezuelan federation of chambers of commerce.
Jose Manuel Gonzalez, a business chamber leader of Fedecamaras, said: "We ask the president: Why does he fear democracy?"
He said that the package of laws included socialist concepts that voters rejected last year as part of a proposed overhaul of Venezuela's constitution.
"We are sure that this is nothing more than imposing the reform project that was rejected in December," Gonzalez said.
Among the goodies in the package:
Under one of the new laws, food retailers or distributors caught skirting government-imposed price controls or hoarding products would be punished with up to six years in prison.
Business owners who refuse to produce, import, transport or sell "items of basic necessity" would face up to 10 years in jail.
The decree also allows the government to "restrict or prohibit the import, export, distribution, exchange or sale" of certain foods or agricultural products and "take over distribution activities when considered necessary".
Other measures increase state control over commerce, services and publicity. Businesses that violate the new rules could face fines or indefinite closure.
I always knew Al Jazeera was just a shil for the world capitalist revolution.
