SLC PROTEST
Designs Wanted For New BLM Mural At Salt Lake City Hall
Jul 8, 2020, 4:01 PM | Updated: 6:11 pm
A demonstrator holds a Black Lives Matter at a protest in Salt Lake City in June 2020.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Salt Lake City is asking artists to submit their design ideas for a Black Lives Matter mural to be painted at the entrance of City Hall.
The city will outline the words "Black Lives Matter" off the building's east steps, and submitted designs will be chosen to fill in the letters.
Designs will be selected by a committee that includes Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall, Lex Scott, founder of Black Lives Matter Utah, Salt Lake City Councilmember Ana Valdemoros and creative director Chris Owens.
"We want to make it clear that Salt Lake City believes Black Lives Matter, and is committed to real change in our community. We're taking this symbolic step as a city to boldly acknowledge this movement and commit to our role in it," Mendenhall said in a news release. "An important part of this for us is creating a space where artists and community members are able to come together to express their feelings on this movement."
The release said the mural is legally considered "government speech" and a public forum is not being created with it.
"Black Lives Matter Utah is very excited about this mural. This mural is a symbol of how this country is changing, and coming to understand the movement," said Scott. "We have been in these streets working towards justice and equality for six years. Now we get a visual representation of our work and goals to truly achieve justice in this country."
The mural will be temporary and eventually fade away, but the city will document it digitally for preservation, the release said.
Interested artists, designers and the members of the public can submit designs online through 5 p.m. July 15.
The committee will announce winning entrants on July 16. Each entrant will paint two letters.

The Official Fernando Alonso thread

Post subject: Re: The Official Fernando Alonso thread
What do you think today guys? Not too bad considering where the Bulls finished. Lead at the top has been extended to a healthy 40 points.
Hopefully we'll see a repeat of last year where the 2nd to 5th placed guys kept taking points off each other, allowing the leader to gallop away with the title
I don't rely entirely on God
I rely on Prost
ferrar1sta
It would be nice if Massa had been able to at least get involved in some way and hold up any of the people Fernando was racing with, TBH. He's not scoring any WCC points so at the very least they should be pushing him to try and hold up the McLarens and Red Bulls.

Yes not bad. We can rule this out as a bad weekend for Alonso. Taking 10 points on a bad weekend is pretty good. It could easily have been so much worse.
I'm more concerned about the pace of the car than just 10 points scored. The track didn't suit Ferrari but that's even more reason to be concerned. Ferrari seems strong in high speed cornering tracks but there are only 2 of those remaining: Spa and Suzuka. The rest are all traction tracks. I really hope Ferrari do something about their traction and also straight line speed during the break. Relying on wet weather is just not good enough.
To "gallop away" Alonso needs to be able to finish on the podium regularly. Hopefully he'll have a car capable of doing that when the season resumes.
Location: u.k
I'm worried about the general lack of pace. Fair enough this track might not suit the car, but I feel Ferrari are still lacking that extra tenth or two for Alonso to be comfortable with that gap. The way I see it, that gap is only going to get smaller unless they improve their pace.
RunningMan wrote:
In theory it should get smaller, but it didn't today! A Lotus victory at Spa (which seems very possible) could allow the gap to remain around 40 points. We're going to have to take it race by race.
Formula1Fan.
I think they knew they wouldn't be in the running for a top 3 finish so to keep close with his nearest Championship rivals can be considered a plus for Alonso.
He might have raised one of his bushy eyebrows at Lewis's virtually flawless weekend though, still a lot of points up for grabs.

Ferrari have a lot of work to do during the break but if someone can make it - it's them.
I thought Alonso drove fairly well today, he was in front of Kimi in the first stint but he had absolutely no chance of staying ahead after the first stint, even if Perez wasn't in front of him. Or when Webber undercut him...by 8 seconds. I was actually pretty tiddled when he failed to get past Vettel but now I think it was a positive, Vettel would have passed him again eventually anyway.
carlisimo
That was surprisingly not too bad... I thought finishing 5th would be a lot more harmful to the WDC standings. A pity that's all he could manage!
'Today I woke up with no pain' - tweet from FA. Anyone else think he may be putting on a front? if he had back pain immediately after the event it would be surprising if he did not feel any the next morning.

I think that the most deserving driver won it afterall.
What a load of crap. I hate to break it to you but look at the FACTS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Formula_One_seasonThat year Kimi had the most race wins 6, most podiums finishes, collected points in every race he finished and yet had more retirements than Fernando or Lewis. Nobody but Kimi drove those results. To become a world champion you have to beat EVERY driver in the grid including your teammate and Kimi did that in 2007. Simply put - he is just as worthy champion as anybody who wins the WDC in any given year. It is never luck, you have 17-20 race season so that fact only pretty much evens out any "bad luck".
It is pointless to whine about Fernando had to battle Lewis that year...in 17 races FA simply could not produce enough to collect more points to beat his teammate and nor all the others in the grid that year to win the championship that year.

No title, but still a season to remember for Fernando, and better than 2010 for me.
I am proud to be an Alonso fan after a season like this. We didn't get the outcome we wanted, but we can't fault his performance. He has been nearly flawless all season and has shown everyone, why he's acknowledged to be the best on the grid.
Super stuff. Bring on next year

I'm expecting Alonso, Massa and Ferrari to come out of the blocks like rabid greyhounds in 2013. I just hope they don't end up stumbling out of the blocks like the past couple of years.
"You are the universe expressing itself as a Human for a little while..."

Many have hailed Fernando Alonso as the driver of the 2012 Formula 1 season, taking a car that was demonstrably not the fastest to within a few points of the world championship.
His three victories in the Malaysian, European and German Grands Prix helped him to a 40-point lead at one point, but he wasn't quite able to hold off the charging Sebastian Vettel late on.
During the year, Alonso was never anything less than quotable and made very clear the scale of the task that faced him.
Fernando Alonso: 2012 in quotes
"There has been a tendency from the media's point of view to believe that Ferrari is having a bad pre-season, or that the car for some dark reason that we know is a bad one... but apart from a slight delay due to the complexity of the car, we haven't seen the light and we weren't inside any tunnels before."
Responding to being asked if Ferrari is seeing light at the end of the tunnel during pre-season testing
"A big surprise today. I think we were not competitive in Australia and not competitive here and the goal was to score as many points as possible. Today it was 25, so an unbelievable result."
Struggling to believe that he's won in wet/dry conditions in Malaysia
"It's really difficult to express in words what is the feeling at the moment. Winning the home grand prix is something unique, a very special feeling. I had the opportunity in Barcelona in 2006 with Renault and I still remember that moment perfectly. But now I had opportunity with Ferrari, with the grandstands full of red colours. I'm feeling very proud, and winning this race in Spain is probably the best victory I ever felt in terms of emotions. Nothing can compare to this one."
Struggling for what to say after winning the European Grand Prix in Valencia from 11th on the grid
"To increase the lead in the championship up to 40 points is something that we didn't expect. We go into the summer break with points in the pocket that maybe we are surprised to have."
Admitting his surprise to be leading the championship comfortably heading into the August break
"I'm lucky that I can be in the car in five days at Monza because looking at the image, we were turning in so you could have a problem with your hands or even your head because [Grosjean's] car was so close. I think we broke everything on top of the car. It was lucky in that respect."
Escaping injury in the Romain Grosjean-inspired Spa first corner shunt
"In 2010, they [Red Bull] were more than one second faster than us and we were leading the championship in Abu Dhabi. Now they are eight tenths to one second faster than us and we are leading the championship. Let's say we are used to this situation, to be one second slower than our competitors and fight for the championship."
Accepting that he will be playing catch-up on track in the closing stages of the season
"I had no space. On the right, I had [Jenson] Button and on my left, I had Kimi [Raikkonen]. I don't understand why Kimi didn't lift off or anything because there was not any room. I don't know what Kimi's idea was for the first corner, but that is the way it is and this time it was bad luck for us."
Blaming Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen for their first-corner collision at Suzuka
"At the moment we are not fighting against Sebastian only. We are also fighting against [Adrian] Newey let's say."
Highlighting Red Bull's trump card in the world championship fight
"I remain 100 per cent confident we will fight for the championship and we will win it."
Keeping the faith as the title scrap tightens
"You just have the feeling that some years you have done a good job and others when you feel there was something missing or something you wanted to change or want to improve for next year. I think it's been a perfect year. It's going to be nearly impossible to repeat that in my career."

I'm abit sceptical about Ferrari's 2013 car to be honest. With no major rule changes. The car will be mostly an evoloution of this years car. Which clearly wasn't quite up to it at the tail end of the season. I think that If Ferrari had an answer and an idea to make the car faster, they would have done it at the end of last year. Instead of seemingly throwing random bits and pieces at the car. I think it's a problem with the fundamental car design thats hindering it.
I think their main problem was qualifying, where their DRS was ineffective, whereas their race pace later on wasn't nearly as bad as has been made out by some. Afterall, the team had the most podiums of the year I think. Massa was driving like a man posessed at the end of the year. The car was a vast improvement towards the end, and although still just behind McLaren and Red Bull, I think even slight improvements and Alonso's tenacity could put them in better stead for 2013. That and a resurgent Massa might light a fire under Alonso's donkey to push him even harder (not that I think he can do much better than his incredible effort in 2012). If they can sort qualifying out, their starts are the best on the grid, and both Alonso and Massa have good race craft and can make the cars the widest on the grid at times.
Its farfetched, but I'm hoping for an Alonso Ferrari vs. Hamilton Mercedes vs. Button McLaren vs. vs. Raikonnen Lotus vs. Vettel Red Bull fight, with all the teams on top of their game. I can see it being Vettel vs. Alonso though, in which case I'll be rooting for Alonso and Ferrari to pull it off.
They're changing the DRS rules which should help limit the damage of their ineffective DRS. It depends, if the season is scrappy like the one we just had. Then I think Alonso will definetly be up there
The DRS rule change is what I'm hoping will help their qualifying to be honest. Depends just how much they were being let down by it, and how much the other teams will be affected.
I'd like to see a decent Ferrari start to be honest. Get some podiums in the first few flyaways.

It depends, if the season is scrappy like the one we just had. Then I think Alonso will definetly be up there
This is the way I'm thinking too.
I think Ferrari were closer to the front at the start of 2011 than they were in 2012.
But 2011 was so straightforward that they hadn't a hope.
If the teams are close again (which I highly doubt) and if Pirelli through more spanners in the works, then Ferrari should be much closer at the start of 2013. I can't possibly imagine they'll be as far away at the start of this year as they were in 2012.

33 min. 56 min. 1 hour 29 min.
1: Pour 750 ml red wine into a pan on medium heat. Salt and add 1 teaspoon caster sugar (to reduce the bitterness after cooking).
The ideal wine for this is a red Burgundy made from Pinot Noir grapes, but do experiment with other red wines rich in tannin, Syrah/Shiraz for example.
Bring to the boil and leave to reduce gently.
2: Prepare 8 Poached eggs.
3: Prepare 6 onions and slice into thin rounds (use a mandolin, it's quicker).
Pour 4 tablespoons olive oil into a non-stick frying pan and when nice and hot, add the onions.
4: ...until the onions are well fried and browned.
Check seasoning, then tip onto a plate on absorbant paper.
5: Reuse the same pan without washing it to lightly fry the 200 g small pieces of smoked bacon.
Then transfer them onto the plate with the onions, leaving the fat in the pan.
6: Remove the crust from 4 slices bread. reheat the frying pan and fry the bread in the bacon fat until they are golden brown.
7: When the wine has reduced by 4/5, mix 1 teaspoon cornflour and 2 tablespoons water in a cup.
8: Then pour this mixture into the reduced wine and beat vigourously while still heating to thicken the sauce.
9: Arrange on the plates: put a slice of fried bread on each one and spread with a layer of onions and bacon. Place two poached eggs on top and cover with wine sauce.
Garnish with a few chives and serve immediately.
In this recipe, everything can be prepared in advance, even the day before. But it's wiser to fry the bread and thicken the wine sauce at the last minute.
The great chef Bernard Loiseau used a carrot purée rather than cornflour to thicken the sauce.
In a restaurant near Meursault I tasted a version with chopped mushrooms added to the onions, which was an excellent idea.
You can also enhance the flavour of the sauce by adding a bouquet garni to the pan as it comes to the boil, or 1 or 2 cloves of garlic.

"Given the continual increase in the last decade of bass solo albums, it's become increasingly difficult for any given bassist to stand out. In many cases, these ventures into bass solo territory result in technical displays more than melodic phrasing. Not so with Steve Uccello. To be sure, his technique is worthy of admiration—but, more importantly, his compositions display a focus first and foremost on musicality. Bass players—upright and electric—will appreciate his impeccable tone, his choice phrasing, and his attention to dynamics, while the average music lover will appreciate his songs for the way they swing, groove, and cascade, making listeners feel like they're experiencing rare moments of enlightenment."
-Rod C. Taylor, Professor of Literature and Writing at Tennessee State University/writer for Bass Player Magazine, Bass Guitar Magazine, and No Treble/textbook author/bass player
"Uccello's use of mood is outstanding. It evokes responses ranging from the visceral to the rapturous, without excessive force. FAB!"
– Trip Wamsley-bass virtuoso/composer (May 19, 2010)
"Steve Uccello's new CD 'Symmetria' is a sonic journey. Not only does he coax every nuance available out of his electric and acoustic basses, he also plays percussion, drums, flutes, and guitars himself. It's a very musical album that takes the listener places. At times I felt I was floating down a river, just gazing at different landscapes."
-Bassist/Singer-Songwriter John Lester (Oct 15, 2009)
"Symmetria by the Uccello Project is a gorgeous, instrumental and largely unclassifiable record. Best thought of as 'cinematic', each of the tracks conjures up a range of emotions and images, taking the listener on a beautiful journey. The layers of basses, guitars and percussion ebb and flow, drawing on jazz, folk, blues and African music, blending all the elements into one lovely album. Recommended."
– Steve Lawson (Aug 18, 2009)
"I enjoyed the disc quite a bit…I got a nice sense of being in another place as soon as the music started. That was most enjoyable for me."
– Vinny Golia
"Today we received a new album "Symmetria" composed by Steve Uccello. It is more experimental music than jazz, but we want to grab your attention for its frameless and hardly classifiable style. Uccello has a unique symbol and philosophy for every instrument and every sound he plays. His music becomes a precious spiritual experience from te beginning till the end. The cd is released in a very creative case, which is also an art form in itself."
– Gaudeamus Jazz Radio Station, Kaunas, Lithuania
"I was swept away by the new CD, Symmetria by Steve Uccello. The CD features Steve with an arsenal of instruments—acoustic bass, electric fretless and fretted basses, mandolins and more. The result of Steve's alchemy is a treat for the senses—at once soothing and sensual, yet musically demanding and virtuous. The project, mixed and mastered by Universal Audio veteran Tim Prince, has a perfectly balanced, high fidelity sound. My favorite tracks? 'Golden' and 'Meandering Flame' due to Steve's emotive arco double bass playing. Thanks for the lovely sounds!
– John Goldsby, Cologne, Germany 8/2009
"Bassist Steve Uccello's Symmetria is filled with cool and unique sounds, textures, and musical ideas, evoking an imagined atmosphere of open spaces influenced by Ry Cooder's desert dusty roads as much as anything a bassist could conjure up. It fits a mellow, contemplative mood perfectly."
– Bryan Beller (Aug, 2009)
"Wow – What a great sounding record! the spacious and warm production really draws you into the mysterious organic textures. The blend of instruments is distinct and compelling. The music breathes, swells, and moves. Symmetria occupies a musical place all it's own. Congratulations Steve – this is special!"
-Jeff Schmidt (Aug 23, 2009)
"I just received the first Uccello Project CD, 'Symmetria' in the mail today. I was really taken by the track 'Chiral' and by the records intriguing blend of acoustic and electric guitars and bass guitars, guitarron, mandolin, gongs, hand drums, drumset, harp and flutes all played by talented multi-instrumentalist, live looper, Steve Uccello. The record has beautiful ambient passages, composed tunes and even veers into experimnental and almost dark ambient territory. A very impressive first effort. I look forward to hearing what this talented musician has to play at the Y2K9 looping festival for the first time this year.
– Rick Walker, composer/lo fi, toy video artist/found sound/live looper, Founder: Y2K International Live Looping Festivals (Aug 28, 2009)
"I have enjoyed to listen your music which is full of colours and moods. I like you bowing and it seems you have very good intonation and sound. You are very sensitive player and you care a lot about sound so in my opinion your music is great to appear in movies and plays. The compositions seems to be similar to famous Angelo Badalamenti's music."
-Marcin Oles
"Damn!! We just had Keith, Dayan Kai and Steve Uccello play last Friday in St. Maries Idaho…It was flat unreal and I think the trio really enjoyed playing here. What a bunch of great guys, it was like I've known them for a long time…They flat blasted one out of the park. I think the majority of the crowd had kind of an 'awakening'."

Summerland 12
'Summerland' follows the story of fiercely independent folklore investigator, Alice (Gemma Arterton) who secludes herself in her clifftop study, debunking myths using science to disprove the existence of other-worldly forces and magic. Consumed by her work, but also profoundly lonely, she is haunted by a love affair from her past. When spirited young Frank, an evacuee from the London Blitz, is dumped into her irritable care, his innocence and wonder unlock deeply buried and painful secrets in Alice's past, and make her re-evaluate what it really means to free your imagination. Bravely embracing life's miraculous unpredictability, Alice learns that wounds may be healed, hope and second chances do exist, and any woman must defiantly be two things: who and what she wants. From Britain's strongest new voice, the Olivier Award winning breakthrough writer/director Jessica Swale, 'Summerland' inspires our audience with daringly honest and contemporary themes - an intensely emotional journey of womanhood and self-discovery, love and friendship.
Cast: Gemma Arterton, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Penelope Wilton
Director(s): Jessica Swale


Robert Harper is a 2nd Year Masters of Public Policy Student at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. In 2016, he earned his Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with a Minor in Criminal Justice and became the first member of his family to graduate from a 4-year college/university. As a Supplier Diversity Manager at the University of Minnesota, he has spent the past two years combating disparities in public contracts. As a Page Scholar over the past 6 years, Robert has volunteered as a mentor to minority youth with a number of Twin Cities Non-Profits. He has a strong value for mentorship, especially in the African American community.
Throughout high school and college, I worked to defy stereotypes by being involved in a variety of activities including Football, Track & Field, Drama/Theater, Choir, College Possible, TRIO, Students for Racial Justice, and more. These experiences equipped me with an ability to work with and understand people from a diversity of backgrounds.
I first became intrigued by Public Policy when I worked with O'Rourke Strategic Consulting as a Capitol Pathways Intern. This experience gave me the opportunity to go behind closed doors to see how policy is actually formed. With an obvious lack of racial representation in Minnesota elected office, I felt that Public Policy could be my vocation. My experiences growing up in and around poverty and crime motivate me to become a political expert who advocates for those diverse youth and families who are suffering from similarly unfortunate circumstances.

Looking to Book Meryl Streep?
Mary Louise "Meryl" Streep (born June 22, 1949) is an American actress and singer. Often described as the "best actress of her generation", Streep is particularly known for her versatility and accents. She has received a number of accolades, including being nominated for a record 21 Academy Awards, of which she has won three, and a record 32 Golden Globe nominations, winning nine. Streep made her stage debut in Trelawny of the Wells and received a Tony Award nomination for 27 Wagons Full of Cotton and A Memory of Two Mondays in 1976. In 1977, she made her film debut in Julia. In 1978, she won a Primetime Emmy Award for her leading role in the miniseries Holocaust, and received her first Oscar nomination for The Deer Hunter. Streep won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for playing a troubled wife in Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) and went on to establish herself as a film actress in the 1980s. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for starring as a Holocaust survivor in Sophie's Choice (1982) and had her biggest commercial success to that point in Out of Africa (1985). She continued to gain critical and awards recognition for her work in the late 1980s and 1990s, but commercial success was varied, with the comedy Death Becomes Her (1992) and the drama The Bridges of Madison County (1995) becoming her biggest earners in that period. Streep reclaimed her stardom in the 2000s and 2010s with starring roles in Adaptation (2002), The Hours (2002), The Devil Wears Prada (2006), Doubt (2008), Mamma Mia! (2008), Julie & Julia (2009), It's Complicated (2009), Into the Woods (2014), The Post (2017) and Little Women (2019). She also won her third Academy Award for her portrayal of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady (2011). Her stage roles include The Public Theater's 2001 revival of The Seagull, and her television roles include two projects for HBO, the miniseries Angels in America (2003), for which she won another Emmy Award, and the drama series Big Little Lies (2019). Streep has been the recipient of many honorary awards. She was awarded the AFI Life Achievement Award in 2004, Gala Tribute from the Film Society of Lincoln Center in 2008, and Kennedy Center Honor in 2011 for her contribution to American culture, through performing arts. President Barack Obama awarded her the 2010 National Medal of Arts, and in 2014, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 2003, the government of France made her a Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters. She was awarded the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2017.
In 1979 she won Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards for Kramer vs Kramer, she won Best Actress in a Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy in 2006 for The Devil Wears Prada, and in 2017 she won Outstanding Narrator for Five Came Back at the Primetime Emmy Awards.

Trump Owns McCarthy, Speaker of the House & Controls the Republican Party
Jan 8, 2023 user
January 8, 2023 McCarthy's victory was completely based on the support of former President Donald Trump. It is very significant…


As it looks like we'll be running out of oil in the not-too-distant future, scientists have been hunting for an alternative to fossil fuels for use in cars and other vehicles. Some cars around the world are already running on ethanol, produced from crops such as corn. But it's expensive to make the fuel, and there are other environmental issues around the large-scale farming needed to produce the corn.
Instead, scientists are looking at breaking down cellulose, a sturdy chemical that makes up the tough cell walls in many plants, then fermenting it to produce ethanol. But breaking down cellulose isn't easy either, and requires the use of enzyme proteins.
Currently, the enzymes that have been used for breaking down cellulose aren't that efficient. But now researchers at Cornell University in the States have discovered a group of plant enzymes that could potentially produce ethanol from cellulose more efficiently than our current technologies.
This would make the process less expensive, and allow fuel to be produced from lower-grade crops, such as grasses or fast-growing trees.
The new enzyme was found in a tomato plant, and although more research is needed to find out exactly what it does, the researchers think might be involved in breaking down cell walls when tomatoes grow as they ripen.
The scientists also have evidence that similar enzymes exist in many other types of plants, which could be useful for making biofuels. For example, researchers might be able to breed fuel plants with high levels of these proteins, which would help to break down the cellulose in them and kick-start the fermentation process.

Samsung Takes 3% Stake In Sharp For LCDs
Greg Tarr ⋅ Mar 11, 2013
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA — Samsung Electronics extended a $110 million lifeline investment to Japan's Sharp, giving the South Korean giant another source of LCD displays for everything from TVs to mobile devices.
Samsung will get a 3 percent stake in Sharp after the deal is completed at the end of the month.
Sharp has been restructuring its operations in the face of continued losses. It is expecting an estimated $5 billion loss this fiscal year.
Sharp is one of the world's largest LCD panel makers and ranks as one of the top producers of very-large-screen panels for LCD TVs.
In a statement announcing the deal, Samsung said it plans to be a passive investor in Sharp as it gains a "secure and steady supply of LCD panels from diversified sources." Samsung will have "no involvement in Sharp's business management in any way or form," according to the statement.
The cash infusion is expected to help Sharp meet short-term expenses as it continues to cut costs.
"We have supplied Samsung Electronics with LCD panels in the past, but with this capital partnership we will strengthen our business relationship, providing Samsung with a long-term, stable and timely supply of large-screen LCD panels, as well as medium and smaller LCD panels for laptop computers and mobile devices," Sharp said in a statement on the deal.
Last December, Sharp secured an up to $120 million investment from Qualcomm, announcing the companies would team up to develop low-power displays for mobile devices.
Sharp also announced an $800 million investment from Foxconn Electronics parent Hon Hai Precision Industry in one of Sharp's main LCD factories. However, a second investment deal with Hon Hai fell through.

The Duke of Cumberland is a big, friendly pub, right in the heart of Whitstable, a few seconds from the beach.
A Grade II listed building, there has been an inn on this site for more than 300 years. Known as the Noah's Ark until 1747, Landlord Robert Chandler renamed it Duke William in honour of the Duke of Cumberland who, a year earlier, had crushed the Scottish rebellion at Culloden.
In 1748 it became The Duke of Cumberland and was used as the headquarters for the oyster and dredger men. Fire swept through the building in 1866. The Duke was rebuilt immediately and in 1867 William Lester applied for a license at the Petty sessions for 'The Duke of Cumberland, recently burnt down but now rebuilt'.

Justice League - The New Frontier (Two-Disc Special Edition) DVD Review
Justice League - The New Frontier (Two-Disc Special Edition) DVD
Visit the Official Website: http://www.warnervideo.com/jlnewfrontier
Summary: Inspired by the best-selling graphic novel by Darwyn Cooke and produced by the multiple Emmy® award winning animation legend, Bruce Timm, The New Frontier is the epic tale of the founding of the Justice League. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are all here of course, and so are Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Flash - whose incredible origins will be told for the very first time. Strangers at first, these very different heroes must overcome fear and suspicion to forge an alliance against a monster so formidable, even the mighty Superman can not stop it. If they fail, our entire planet will be cleansed of humanity.
Justice League: New Frontier is the second direct to DVD feature under the new "Dc Universe" production title. The first having been Superman: Doomsday. This is based off of the famous graphic novel with art by Darwyn Cooke. The translation from page to screen here was phenominal. The action is absolute, the storyline and character development is straight on. Its an amazing adaptation. The Dc Universe titles are a heaven send for die-hard comic book fans. I cannot recommend this one enough.

Summary: The Easter Bunny is Comin' to Town is a Rankin and Bass holiday classic (originally produced in 1977) featuring stop motion animation and narrated by the legendary Fred Astaire. The feature is a fun, playful, retro 50-minute Easter story with an uplifting message that teaches kids about the origins of Easter traditions such as Easter Egg Hunts, Egg Rolling Contests and Easter Bonnets. The Deluxe Edition is fully re-mastered with all-new EC and special
I hadn't seen this animated feature in many,many years. I had fond memories of viewing the re-runs every year on television as a child. I busted this out for my four year old daughter to watch. She was so blown away that she is now carrying around her stuffed bunny all the time. I don't know what it is about these older features, but they just seem to have more substance and heart that a lot of newer shows. This one is perfect for your toddlers or young children..or for the kid in all of us that wants to re-live the feeling that these retro features gave us in our childhood.

The California Department of Parks and Recreation (CDPR) will be preparing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and will combine it with the Draft General Plan for Cuyamaca Rancho State Park in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An Initial Study (IS) has been prepared providing a preliminary review of potential impacts associated with changes that may be proposed to the Park as called for in the Draft General Plan. The IS as well as a Notice of Preparation (NOP) indicating that an EIR will be prepared may be viewed and/or downloaded under the Public Participation heading on the right hand side of this page.
The NOP and IS has been made available to agencies that CDPR has determined may have an interest in commenting or acting as a responsible or trustee agency through the CEQA process. A 30-day review process began April 9, 2013 for responsible or trustee agencies to provide specific information regarding their area of statutory responsibility.
Comments from the public are also welcome regarding the IS as well as other potential impacts associated with changes proposed by the Draft General Plan. The changes proposed are not yet completely defined, but shall be further defined as progress on the Draft General Plan continues.
The combined Preliminary General Plan/Draft EIR will be made available for a 45-day public comment period once they are completed (most likely Spring 2014). Please check back to this webpage for updated information.

California State Parks is conducting a comprehensive update of the General Plan for Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. A General Plan is a broad-based policy document that establishes a long-range vision and goals. A General Plan also provides direction on future types of improvements, services, and programs. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The EIR will evaluate potential environmental effects associated with the adoption of the General Plan.
The current version of the General Plan was adopted in 1986. The purpose of the General Plan update is to revise the plan to reflect changing conditions and issues, include additional state park lands that are now adjacent to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, and to update the vision, goals, and policies set forth in the Plan. Public input will be used to help guide the development of the General Plan update.
Cuyamaca Rancho State Park (CRSP) is located approximately 50 miles east of San Diego in a mountainous area consisting of oak woodland forest, pines and expansive meadows. It sits astride the crest of the Cuyamaca Mountains in the Peninsular Ranges, with Cuyamaca Peak at 6,512 feet, standing tall within the park boundaries. To the east, lies Anza-Borrego Desert State Park (ABDSP) while to the south is the small rural community of Descanso and generally the remaining areas are surrounded by the Cleveland National Forest with a few exceptions of private parcels in the Descanso Valley and near the Cuyamaca Reservoir. State Highway 79 runs generally through the Park.
The Park was acquired for the California State Park system in 1933 and classified as a State Park in 1962. The Park encompasses approximately 24,700 acres, of which, 13,100 are designated as Wilderness and 3,200 are either Natural or Cultural Preserves. This Park features recreational experiences that are close to a large metropolitan area but yet at the same time feel well removed from urban life, with over 100 miles of trails and several major campgrounds and numerous wilderness, cultural, and historic interpretive opportunities.
In 2003, the Cedar Fire burned 24,600 of the 24,700 acres in the Park, resulting in numerous park facilities being destroyed or damaged - from historic structures such as the Dyar House, to the loss of a popular family equestrian campground at Los Caballos in the northern part of the park.
The Park is currently under the stewardship of the Colorado Desert District and the Montane Sector of the California Department of Parks and Recreation.
The third and final public meeting was held Tuesday, November 12, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Marriott San Diego Mission Valley Hotel, in the Cabrillo Room, 8757 Rio San Diego Drive, San Diego, CA 92108. The first of three public meetings was held Wednesday, October 3, 2012. The second public meeting was held Thursday May 23, 2013. No additional public meetings will be held until the State Park and Recreation Commission hearing in fall 2014.

Protesters hold a portrait of Hindu deity "Ayappa" as they take part in a rally called by various Hindu organizations after two women entered the Sabarimala temple, in Kochi, India, Jan. 2, 2019.
The Kerala state government is run by left-wing parties and it has sought to allow women into the temple — a position that has drawn the criticism of both of India's main political parties, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party.
Earlier, the Kerala state president of the BJP described the women's visit as "a conspiracy by the atheist rulers to destroy the Hindu temples."
The party's state president, PS Sreedharan Pillai, told TV channels the BJP would "support the struggles against the destruction of faith by the Communists."
"Let all the devotees come forward and protest this," he said.
Officials from the main opposition Congress party in the state, in rare alignment with their main rival for power at the national level, the BJP, also called for protests.
"This is treachery ... The government will have to pay the price for the violation of the custom," K. Sudhakaran, vice president of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee, said in a statement.
Conservative Hindu groups say they believe women of menstruating age would defile the temple's inner shrine. The ban was imposed on all females between the ages of 10 and 50.
News channels reported the chief priest briefly shut the temple for "purification" rituals after the women visited.
"There was an elaborate arrangement for them to come just after the temple was opened early morning," said the officer, who declined to be identified fearing reprisals from protesters.
"The darkness gave them, and us, cover."
A video from a police official posted online by Asian News International (ANI) showed two women in the temple with their heads covered.
"We reached Pampa, the main entry point to the temple at 1.30 a.m. and sought police protection ... We walked two hours, entered the temple around 3.30 a.m. and did the darshan," the woman said, referring to a ritual of standing in front of the temple's Hindu image.
"I had earlier made it clear that the government will provide protection if any women come forward to enter the temple," said Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
On Tuesday, the state government backed a protest by thousands of women, who formed a 385-mile human chain, termed the "women's wall," in support of "gender equality" and access to the temple.

International Women's Day: Disney Studios' Trish Long admits it saddens her that her own mother was never able to life of opportunity
"I've managed to create a life I want to live that's authentic to me, that wasn't an option for my mum."
Marguerite KielyArt director
I was in my 20s when we lost my mother.
I think sometimes she was puzzled by the kind of things I wanted to do but she got that I was smart and determined and she wanted a different life for me than she had.
When I reached the age my mother was when she died I felt it deeply in my core and it was very odd to know that I was living beyond the age she did.
She had little or no access to education. She wasn't nurtured or supported by my father or by society, she was in her early 50s when she died.

At that point in my life, I had managed to do a masters part-time while working full time and had reached a top-of-the-tree type of situation in my career path.
I've managed to create a life I want to live that's authentic to me, that wasn't an option for my mum and it still makes me sad to think about it. I can only imagine what she could have built and created for herself if she had the options and opportunities.

No More Cave Drawings: Mulling the Digital Doodle
By Jeremy WagstaffThe Far Eastern Economic Review
It's weird how computers are ubiquitous and yet when somebody calls to leave a message the first thing we scramble around for is not a keyboard, but a pen and paper. Why is that? It has probably got something to do with our ancestors scribbling on the wall of their cave, but that sounds way too anthropological so I'll go for this explanation instead: Typing at a computer is unnatural and kind of nerdy.
Bridging this divide has been a Holy Grail for developers for years, from Apple Computer Inc.'s doomed Newton through Palm Inc.'s hand-held to Microsoft Corp.'s as yet unreleased Tablet PC. But while the Palm is a very popular invention, I've yet to meet anyone who can write as quickly on its screen as they can on paper.
This is where Seiko Instruments USA Inc. is trying-admirably-to cash in. A couple of years back it offered the SmartPad (www.seikosmart.com), a kind of gentleman's purse with a notepad on one side and a slot for your Palm device on the other. Using a special pen and an infrared device your doodlings on the pad would be instantly transferred to the Palm and saved as an image file. The SmartPad has done quite well, considering this is an area where the words "horse," "dead" and "flogging" are often heard together. As there just wasn't the market, International Business Machines Corp. recently abandoned its TransNote product -- a laptop-cum-notepad, which used similar technology. A.T. Cross Co. , which makes high-priced pens and pen-based computers, has also withdrawn a similar product, the Crosspad, due to weak demand. This leaves Seiko with the field to itself, and I think, with its latest product, it has something you may find useful.
It's called the InkLink and it's very much like the SmartPad, but without, thankfully, the gentleman's purse. The set comprises a special pen, a clip that looks and works a bit like the active ingredient of a standard clipboard, which can be connected to your personal computer by USB cable, or to your hand-held device by an infrared "transceiver." Once you've attached the clip to a regular notepad and installed the software, anything you scribble using the special pen will be transferred to your PC or hand-held, instantly visible in a special program that stores the image. The whole caboodle can be packed away into a plastic pouch the size of a spectacles case and sells for a very reasonable $100.
Seiko has figured out that this stuff could be more than a niche market if it's simple, flexible and cheap. The CrossPad had its fans but many had trouble hooking it up to a PC. The TransNote was an elegant but somewhat bulky affair that folded out more like a camp site than a laptop, and, selling for a hefty $3,000 was only going to appeal to insurance agents, realtors and lawyers. Given SmartPad's success, Seiko has proven that there is an interest in this type of thing, and with InkLink I can see users of laptops and desktops jumping aboard. For now, the product is currently only available in North America, so check out the online stores that ship to Asia and Europe.

20s, 40s, 60s… Does it really matter? Asos dresses are just brilliant. Whichever your taste is, you won't be disappointed. Now that we're heading to a couple of parties, is not a bad time to start thinking about what we can possibly acquire. I'm really into the 'romantic/bohemian' style lately… so these dresses are really an inspiration! To be honest, I'm still doubting where to buy my Christmas outfits … It's really stressful!


2. Simply register as a new senior member instead.
It also appears that as a MSgt (E-7) I'm eligible to join in a CAP officer billet.
I would sincerely welcome any advice regarding the pros/cons of these choices.
Do you need the retirement points? I believe that's why reservists end up in the CAP-RAP program, the folks I've worked with tended to be at the end of their careers and for whatever reason needed a few more points before they pulled the plug.
As for joining CAP or assisting via CAPRAP, that's entirely up to what you'd like to do. If you want to participate in CAP doing what CAP members do, then join a local squadron. I've never met a reservist in the CAP-RAP program that was there simply to hang out with CAP or do CAP stuff, so I'm not even sure you can do that.
As for a CAP grade if you join, one of the first things you'll learn about CAP is our grade structure looks familiar, but does not operate at all like the military does. There are no functional differences between being an E or an O in CAP, we're all worker bees where authority is based on position, not grade. Heck, you can't even trust a person's grade to reflect their CAP experience.
Call USAF-CAP (or the Region LO) for the do's and dont's Of the CAP-RAP program. Compare it with CAP membership. Two vastly different programs.
The local squadron people really don't need to deal with you as a "reservist" per se.
and if you join, your Reservist status isn't really relevent beyond your own PD.
any staff role or earn ratings or PD grade, etc. In short you would be one of the "eyes and ears"
of CAP-USAF, assisting in oversight of the program, but not participating in it.
based on your circumstance and assignments.
a local LR-ADO as to whether there are available slots and your military status qualifies.
I personally know of excellent RAPs who have been doing it for 10+ years even promoting during that time.
These are >very< active nationally and attend activities all over the place.
Immediate promotion to Second Lieutenant (which everyone is eligible for after 6 months).
From there you would participate in the normal cycle of PD training and TIG towards the officer grades.
certain CAP jobs at Group or Wing.
unless you are, which isn't allowed, except when it is, in which case you're not supposed to, even though it's done.
some CAP classes needed for Specialty Tracks and Professional Development advancement.
If you have CAP NCO questions and want answers from an a CAP NCO, shoot me a message.
Thank you all for the detailed and comprehensive replies -- I really appreciate the feedback!!
So, the squadron here in Okinawa, Japan is just starting to rebuild under the leadership of a new commander and they haven't even heard of CAPRAP, so they've recommended I simply join as a senior member.
From what I've gathered from your replies, it seems that my first step should be to call back to the Pacific Region office at Beale AFB to find out if CAPRAP is even an option for me here, either in a permanent CAPRAP billet or as an additional duty to my present IMA position. Barring that, my only option is to join CAP as a senior member.
and nuance due to being in a foreign country.
It will be interesting to see how and if they can use RAPs "over there".
We had a CAPRAP assigned to the Okinawa Cadet Squadron back in the 80s. He was an SES assigned on the island and was a reserve CMSgt. He was helpful coordinating with the command staff on the base. We had great support from the AF and had a wonderful unit.
Glad to hear that it is still going. I spent five great years, four as commander, with that unit.
Doubtful oversas squadrons do not fall into the traditional structure of CAP.
Pm me I can provide info for you.
Part of the problem with the overseas units like Kadena is the fact that the membership, with a few exceptions, is only there for a couple of years. Continuity is a big problem. Not to mention the problems with Base Commanders, some actually follow the regs and support CAP and others ignore us and hope we will go away.
I was in the Misawa, Japan squadron for 2.5 years. The commander when I got there was First Shirt for the base services squadron, so we had excellent relations with the base CO. When I took over, I interviewed with a new base commander, who just happened to be a former CAP member, so things were still good. My relief was a Navy E-5 Spaatzen.
Our cadet were all military dependents, so there was a constant flux of members. I think our largest cadet membership while I was there was 13.
During my CAP/USAF tours, I did CAPRAP as an additional duty to coincide with being assigned militarily as a CAP base liaison and once even being the CAP unit's building custodian -- meaning I wasn't the cleaner but was responsible for the building where the CAP maintained two headquarters.
I maintained my CAP membership mostly through my Air Force career, retiring in 1994. Free of that side, I went back to the CAP, retiring in 2015 with 44 1/2 years service.
No CAP/RAP for overseas units.
Then that means the IMA's program manager or assignment leadership would have a role in determining CAP participation and if it could be used toward the points and M-days.
Seems funny that there are no CAPRAP positions overseas when I knew one during my tour overseas -- but that was 1978-80. I realize that times change.
The program has shrunk significantly in just the last 10 years.
BITD there was an NCO and Officer as LO's in every wing, now there are less then eight LR-ADOs nationally (last I checked).
Same goes for RAPS, they used to be all over the place, now they can be hard to come by.
AFRC had to cut manpower positions 10 years ago. Wanna guess one of the first places they made cuts was?
