Please Join Me at the 49th Ward Fundraiser
Fellow Democrat,
I want to invite you to my fundraiser on Monday, September 12. As you may know, like you, I am a volunteer. Being a Ward Committeeman is not a paid job. It is a position that has no salary or funding at all. I have worked so hard over the years doing the organizing and party building because I believe in the work we do, the values we share and the candidates we jointly decide to support. The glory and the fame go to other folks like my good friends Jan Schakowsky and Joe Moore, while you and I work hard fighting for what we believe in and make it happen.
This year I am running for re-election and I need your help. Our local Democratic Party is one of the most independent, grassroots and transparent ward organizations in Cook County and perhaps in the United States. From the very beginning I have worked hard to be sure that it was, and will remain, that way. To do that I need to raise money and run my own campaign this Spring. Some of you may be in a position to make a significant contribution while others of you just simply are not.
If you can afford to make a donation I have set up an ActBlue page, a secure website for Democratic candidates, so that you can make a contribution from a credit or debit card online. The web address is: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/49wardweb92111. It does not require that you make a large contribution. Small contributions are accepted, and when added together those small contributions add up to big contributions. If you can visit the site and make a donation, big or small, I truly need your help. You can also stop by the event and give a donation by cash or check at the door.
The party information is as follows:

I can provide you with more information if you have any questions. Please just hit reply and send it to me.
Schakowsky Jobs Bill Get NYT Praise
One of many reasons Jan Schakowsky is one of the very best and brightest leaders in our nations Capital today. We have a great Congresswoman who truly has her finger on the pulse of not only our district, but of America today. Its obvious she gets it.
A Jobs Agenda, Anyone?
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/15/opinion/a-jobs-agenda-anyone.html
In what can only be described as a triumph of bad policy and craven politics, Congress and the Obama administration have spent the year focused on budget cuts, as the economy has faltered and unemployment has worsened. Official unemployment is 9.1 percent, but it would be 16.1 percent, or 25.1 million people, if it included those who can only find part-time jobs and those who have given up looking for work. For the past two and a half years, there have been more than four unemployed workers for every job opening, a record high, by far. In a healthy market, the ratio would be about one to one.
By a large margin, Americans have told pollsters that job creation is more important than budget cuts. Yet Republican leaders are wedded to austerity and appear to think that high unemployment will hurt President Obama politically more than it will hurt them, so they will likely resist efforts to create jobs, no matter how great the need.
Without more jobs, both the economy and the budget will deteriorate further. It is past time for Mr. Obama to send a jobs plan to Congress that has popular appeal, one that he can use to try to shame Republicans. He will need cooperation from the Senate, which should bring one jobs-related bill after another to the floor, forcing its members to approve jobs initiatives or go on the record to show that they just don't care.
Mr. Obama has begun to talk more about jobs, but his agenda is thin. Its main components — extending federal unemployment benefits and the payroll tax cut beyond their expiration at the end of this year — are vitally important, but their extension will only maintain the status quo. His idea for an infrastructure bank to finance large-scale building projects is also good, but would take time, and would not address the immediate need for jobs. Ditto his push for patent reform and trade agreements.
There are other ideas worth fighting for. Take, for example, Fix America's Schools Today, or FAST, an idea that has been incorporated into a House proposal to be introduced this fall by Jan Schakowsky, Democrat of Illinois. Public school buildings in the United States are on average over 40 years old and in need of an estimated $500 billion in repairs and upgrades. A $50 billion school renovation program would employ 500,000 workers (1.5 million construction workers are currently unemployed) and could be easily scaled up. The money could be disbursed through existing federal formulas to all 16,000 public school districts. The initial cost could be largely offset over 10 years by ending tax breaks for fossil fuels, as called for in Mr. Obama's 2012 budget.
Other programs in the Schakowsky bill could employ an estimated one million young people for projects in federal parks, community centers and on college campuses, as well as 350,000 laid-off teachers, police officers, firefighters and health care providers.
Washington, in thrall to austerity, has abandoned one of the most immediate and powerful tools for supporting growth and jobs, namely, borrowing at today's low rates to provide direct fiscal aid to states. But Mr. Obama can and should make the case for targeted new jobs today, to be paid for over time by closing tax loopholes.
Republicans are sure to howl that new programs will undo the debt ceiling deal, but it is surely possible over a 10-year period to tackle near-term action on jobs and long-term action on deficit reduction. The alternative is even slower growth and higher unemployment.

Monthly Meeting - Legislative Update
Join us for our annual Legislative Update, Monday, July 18th, 6:30 p.m. (food and refreshments) 7:15 p.m. (meeting), at the 49th Ward Democratic Party Office, 1774 W. Greenleaf (at Ravenswood).
Our guests, State Senator Heather Steans (7th District) and our new State Representative, Kelly Cassidy (14th District), will update us on the latest news from our state capitol.
With the budget crisis coming to a head and critical programs facing the budget axe, Illinois is facing a financial crisis the likes of which have not been seen in over 70 years. What can be done to put Illinois back on track fiscally without jeopardizing important programs and services to the state's most vulnerable populations? Is expanded legalized gambling part of the solution or will it only make our problems worse? And what about re-districting? What impact will the new congressional and legislative maps have on the future direction of our state and nation?
Hear perspectives from two of the state's most progressive legislators.
We look forward to seeing you at a very exciting and informative meeting!
President Obama Needs Your Help in the 49th Ward!
The campaign to re-elect the President has begun.
Organizing for America and the Democratic Party of the 49th Ward are hosting a phone bank and open house every Wednesday evening. We are reconnecting with our strongest volunteers from the 2008 campaign and also bringing on folks who may not have been involved last time to build a real grassroots organization.
It will be a tough, hotly contested campaign, and the road to victory begins right here in the 49th Ward, where President Obama captured 90% of the vote in the November 2008 election.
Please join us this Wednesday, June 8th, at 6:30 p.m., at the 49th Ward Democratic Party Office, 1774 W. Greenleaf (at Ravenswood) as we launch our inaugural phone bank. This opportunity is open to all, 49th Ward residents and non-residents alike!

President Preckwinkle - The First 75 Days
On Thursday night, February 17, 2011, please join Ald. Joe Moore and Committeeman David Fagus as we host "President Preckwinkle - The First 75 Days."
In early December Toni Preckwinkle became the President of the Cook County Board of Commissioners and took control of Cook County government. With a projected deficit of nearly $500 million dollars, an office over run with scandal, mismanagement and corruption from her predecessor and a demand for the reduction of the sales tax Toni has had an enourmous job to do to get the County back on the right path.
Come hear about her accomplishments and achievements, the changes in the leadership she has put into place as she forms her administration, and how she will overcome the fiscal challenges with her proposed FY 2011 budget which is now before the Commissioners. But most of all come see how you can support her progressive reform agenda as the budget battle heats up.

UPDATE: Endorsement Session Results
We had a wonderful crowd of about 200 people at the Democratic Party of the 49th Ward endorsement session. All of the candidates answered questions and shared their thoughts about what they think will make for a better Chicago. By all accounts, it was a good endorsement session.
Our local Democratic Party is a very grass roots, bottom up organization. Endorsements made by our organization come from a vote of the active membership. Today, after hearing all of the candidates speak, the active members of the organization cast their vote.
In order to get the endorsement a candidate needs to get 2/3 of the votes cast. If no candidate receives 2/3 of the votes cast then the matter is sent to the Board of Directors where further action is considered.
The results are as follows:
Emanuel 21.4%
del Valle 50.0%
Braun 0.0%
Chico 14.3%
Watkins 1.4%
Walls 12.9%
Horton 15.6%
Mendoza 86.4%
The race for Mayor is referred to the Board for further consideration.
UPDATE: THE BOARD HAS DECIDED TO MAKE NO ENDORSEMENT IN THE RACE FOR MAYOR IN FEBRUARY 22, 2011 ELECTION.
Susana Mendoza is endorsed by the Democratic Party of the 49th Ward.
A meeting of the Board will be set for some time over the next few days and additional information will be posted here.
Finally, a big round of applause goes out to all those who made it their business today to come and become informed about the very important choices we have to make on February 22, 2011.
My thoughts about our candidates are that Rep. Susana Mendoza has the promise to be an excellent Clerk. Her record as a legislator is strong. Her energy and enthusiasm for the position is high. She has shown us that she has the experience and the progressive values that we hold dear through her work as a State Representative. I am proud that we have voted to have her on our ticket.
Alderman Joe Moore, one of the leaders of our local Democratic Party, has a very long history of standing up and fighting for what is right, fighting for what is best for the people of our ward and the city regardless of what powerful interest is lined up on the other side. He has continued to work together with all the members of our community to build a stronger community here in the 49th Ward and I am happy to have him as a member and leader of our organization.
I am the Democratic Ward Committeeman of the 49th Ward of the City of Chicago.

The Sham MCs, a group of nine young rappers, recently released, Crossword, Syria's first rap album. The group's increased exposure reflects the growing diversity of Syria's music culture. Nevertheless, their album has been met with controversy, typical of Syrian reactions to Western culture such as their anti-Facebook policies.
Group members of the Sham MCs voiced their annoyance through their music over such negative reactions:
The Sham MCs, a group of nine young rappers, recently released, Crossword, Syria's first rap album. The group's increased exposure reflects the growing diversity of Syria's music culture. Nevertheless, their album has been met with controversy, typical of Syrian reactions to Western culture such as their anti-Facebook policies.
"The second track [on the album] is called Against the Flow, [because] it's like we're going against everybody's idea and they hate rap because it's like a Western thing."
Furthermore, 21 year old, Sham MC member, Badi Issa, who credits his first exposure to rap as an Eminen video in the sixth grade, argues his group is promoting Syrian, not American, culture, saying the group is trying to:
"do something for us, for Syria, for the youth of Syria, for the land of Syria – something that has an identity of its own."
Recently, following the end of Ramadan, the Sham MCs played a three day tour in venues normally reserved for traditional Syrian musicians, and this past summer they became the first rap group to perform at a Syrian festival, alongside George Wassouf, Syria's most famous singer.
The Sham MCs are currently streaming Crossword on their Myspace page and have over 1600 friends on Facebook. Jeff Chang looked at hip-hop's rapid globalization for FP in 2007.

The countdown for the prestigious Guild Awards of Excellence has started. Created to recognise top beauty wholesalers in the UK, the deadline for nominations is Wednesday 22nd January 2014. If you are a beauty professional, don't forget to submit your nomination online in the next couple of days.
"The Guild Awards of Excellence are different to many industry awards", says a representative from Salon Services. And the truth is that because votes are solely submitted by beauty professionals and not judged by a panel, the results are completely impartial and reflect the industry's feelings towards the best beauty suppliers in the UK.
"For this reason, to be recognised by the Beauty Guild is an honour. The nominations alone motivate us to keep up the good work and remain at the top of our class", says Simon Rowlands, Marketing Controller at Salon Services.
This year, the Beauty Guild will announce winners in 12 categories, including a new award for Best Lash Supplier. Other prizes will be for Best Customer Service, Best Web Services and Best Wholesaler. Beauty therapists, nail technicians and industry professionals can either use the following link or send an email to [email protected] to submit their votes.
Any industry professional can nominate companies in as many categories as they want, although only one company can be nominated per category. So if you have a company in mind that deserves to be recognised for excellence, cast your vote today.
Salon Services is part of Sally Beauty Holdings Inc., which grew from one small store in 1964 in New Orleans into the world's largest distributor of professional hair and beauty products, with over 4,000 stores worldwide. In the UK and Ireland, Salon Services trades at over 250 stores.
Launched in 1994, The Beauty Guild is the UK's largest professional trade body for the beauty industry. It boasts over 7,500 members.

JetSmarter Adds Free Private Suite at LAX Memberships
A membership with the flight-sharing company now includes access to the private terminal at Los Angeles International Airport.
By Larry Bean	 on June 22, 2018

A membership with the private aviation company JetSmarter now comes with a complimentary yearlong membership to the Private Suite at LAX, a luxurious, reservations-only terminal for commercial-flight passengers that opened last year at Los Angeles International Airport.
A Private Suite membership costs $4,500 annually. For the additional $2,700-per-flight fee ($3,000 for an international flight), members can enjoy the Private Suite's VIP services, which include on-site TSA and customs screenings without the long lines that greet passengers at the airport's public terminals.
Private Suite members access LAX through a gated entrance and are escorted by a staff member to one of the terminal's 11 private rooms, where they wait for their flight to depart. Each room includes a well-stocked food pantry, a private bathroom, a two-person daybed, a view of the runway, and an on-call attendant. While you wait, your check-in process is completed and your baggage is delivered to the aircraft. When it's time to board your flight, you quickly pass through the TSA screening at the Private Suite and are then driven across the airfield to your aircraft.
If you're flying into LAX, you're met at your plane and driven to the Private Suite, where you can quickly clear customs, get into a car that's waiting outside the terminal, and leave the airport through the private exit, avoiding the snarling traffic outside the public terminals.
JetSmarter is a Florida-based company that, through its phone app, enables members to arrange on-demand charter flights that they can share with other members, and it gives them access to seats on private aircraft flying posted routes. JetSmarter charges an annual membership fee that starts at $4,950 along with a one-time initiation fee of $3,000.
In addition to the complimentary annual membership to the Private Suite at LAX, JetSmarter members receive one free booking at the Private Suite—that is, the $2,700 or $3,000 fee for the Private Suite's services is waived.

Rank #3 in Society & Culture category
In Man in the Window, Paige St. John, a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter has uncovered never before revealed details about the man who would eventually become one of California's most deadly serial killers. From Wondery and the LA Times comes a new series that traces his path of devastation through his victims' eyes.
Hard to listen
By Mr.dawzon - Jun 18 2019
Honestly I was super excited to hear about this podcast, but the delivery was mediocre at best. The commercialization of this podcast is pretty gross. You can tell the narrator doesn't have a good connection with the story and it has no meaning to her. A 40 something minute podcast should never have 12 minutes of commercials. This isn't TV. The narration is bad, the storytelling is poor and the emotion is nonexistent.

Every home is vulnerable to fire hazards. But you will be surprised to know that there are some hidden reasons also which is more dangerous than the obvious ones. Wondering what they are? Well, one of the potential tools to cause fire accidents is the lint that sneaks through the vents of your dryer filter. Over time the vents fill up with lint and overheating causes it to catch fire.

If you are a resident of Deerfield Beach, Delray Beach and Jupiter FL, rest your worries aside. Air Quality Control Environmental Inc. is at your service. We have been serving the citizens of Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, and Palm City since the early 90's.

Q: Yii CGridView - Sort by DESC first on column header click Is it possible to change the order of a column-header click sort?
I have a "ranking" column, which upon first click will sort by ASC, and only on 2nd click would go to DESC sort - I need to reverse that so that 1st click is DESC, and 2nd click is ASC.
Is this possible?
return new CSqlDataProvider($sql . $search, array(
            'totalItemCount' => $itemCount,
            'params' => $params,
            'sort' => array(
                'attributes' => array (
                    'enabled',
                    'store_name',
                    'rating' => array (
                        'desc' => 'rating * percent / 100 DESC',
                        'asc' => 'rating * percent / 100 ASC',
                    ),
                ),
                'defaultOrder' => array( 'store_name'=>false )
            ),
            'pagination' => array('pageSize' => Yii::app()->user->getState('pageSize_cs', Yii::app()->params['defaultPageSize']),),
        ));

A: The only way I know of to do this is a hack that results in column arrows pointing the wrong way.
'desc' => 'rating * percent / 100 ASC',
'asc' => 'rating * percent / 100 DESC',

A: I think it will show the CGridView in descending order by default if you click the header it will display in ASC if u want the reverse process do it in the reverse
   public function search($status)
   {
        $criteria = new CDbCriteria;
        $criteria->order = 'store_name desc';
   }

A: As of Yii 1.1.3 there was added default key support for attributes settings. This does exactly what you want. Example:
'sort' => array(
    'attributes' => array (
        'enabled',
        'store_name',
        'rating' => array (
            'desc' => 'rating * percent / 100 DESC',
            'asc' => 'rating * percent / 100 ASC',
            'default' => 'desc',
        ),
    ),
    'defaultOrder' => array( 'store_name'=>false )
),

John Clarke Watchmaker
John Clarke, born in Northern Ireland, came to Montreal, Canada East, when he was still a child. In his later twenties, John moved to Peterborough, Canada West. Here he became involved in the business of watchmaking and repair. At first John worked in the business of Mr. Templeton Brown. Some years later, John formed a partnership with Mr. Brown.
When Templeton Brown decided to moved to Kentucky in the United States, John Clarke took over the watch making and jewelry business, running it for a number of years on his own.
A New Partnership
In 1889, John Clarke formed a new partnership with Alex Gibson. Under the name of Clarke & Gibson, the two men continued in the watchmaking-jewelry business for ten years, until John Clarke retired. The partnership was dissolved at that date.
From his obituary in the Peterborough Review, are taken the following additional bits of information:
Mr. Clarke never married. He leaves two nephews in Montreal, son of his sister, Mrs. Graham, of that city, and several grand-nephews and nieces. He never took an active part in any public or social affairs, but was highly respected by all who knew him. He was 77 years of age.
The funeral will taken place at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from Nicholls Hospital and proceed to the Little Lake Cemetery.
John Clarke is buried at Little Lake Cemetery, in the plot owned by his friend and business partner, Alex Gibson.

Aaron Laigaie Died: MT Baker Proud Boys Co-Founder Dies
Brijbhan
Aaron Laigaie Died: We are sad to share the shocking news about Aaron Laigaie died before the sun set on January 13, 2022 at the age of 38 a yuong age. He was co-founder of MT Baker Proud Boys.
The news of his death went viral online and shocked many people. Many people are curious about Aaron Laigaie's death and the cause. Aaron Laigaie, a prominent figure in the far right wing American politics and a vocal Trump supporter, was an iconic figure. Many of people scattered respected condolence on social media.
How Did Aaron Laigaie Died?
The report states that Aaron Laigaie, 38, died recently. His last breath was on Friday, January 13, 2023. Aaron Laigaie's death from the most remarkable thing was not the only one. Or at least, it wasn't the only one.
Like most things, there were a few people who disagreed with him, some of them right in his backyard. These included his family, friends, and former employees. Laigaie, in addition to the naysayers, was also a member the MT Baker Proud Boys.
This street gang, which is all male, is known for its violence. He was also a strong supporter of President Donald Trump. It was only natural that he would be in the news whenever a newbie or two hit the streets.
Laigaie wasn't exactly a health buff. Although he had his fair share of colds and nagging coughs, he never got vaccinated. He finally gave up on both the best and worst. He was not only incompetent about his own mental health, but also about the best treatment for the above ailments.
Laigaie died before the sun set on January 13, 2022, although he didn't live to see it. Although his family remains in denial, we can expect to hear soon about the funeral arrangements. Given that his MT Baker Proud Boys days are anything but fairytale, this must be the most tragic of circumstances.

Pram is very simple thing. What else could be invented? But according to designers Jeong Haedong & Bae Junseong modern prams do not have enough simplicity and functionality. They have created a wonderful model- transformer, ready to serve to his little master for a long time. Lightweight and compact it combines the four necessary things that you usually need to buy separately – the pram itself, car seat, bicycle and even shopping cart. Very multi-functional concept!

NORTH AMERICA: 'Zootopia' Adds $3.73M on Wednesday, Nears $90M In Just Six Days; 'London Has Fallen' Claims $27M Six-Day Start; 'Deadpool' Passes $315M Domestically
7 comments on March 10, 2016
Disney reports today that Zootopia easily remained in first place on Wednesday with a $3.725 million take. That lifts the animated smash hit's domestic cume up to $88.7 million through just six days of release, putting it 20 percent ahead of where Big Hero 6 stood at the same point in its cycle. A repeat performance in first place is expected this weekend for the Disney Animation flick.
London Has Fallen grabbed second place again with $1.415 million yesterday, bringing its six-day U.S. haul up to $26.84 million. The action sequel is currently trending 30 percent behind its 2013 predecessor, Olympus Has Fallen.
Deadpool claimed third place again on Wednesday with another $1.33 million added to the bank. That gives the Merc with a Mouth a domestic total of $315.9 million through 27 days of release -- 23 percent ahead of where Guardians of the Galaxy stood at the comparable point.
Meanwhile, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot added $0.585 million in fourth place yesterday for an underwhelming six-day take of $9.4 million since its debut. Gods of Egypt filled out the top five with $0.41 million on Wednesday -- down 50 percent from last week -- and a 13-day cume of $24.45 million.
NORTH AMERICA: 'Zootopia' Totals $85.0M in Five Days After Leading Tuesday with $5.37M; 'London Has Fallen' Second with $2.13M; 'Deadpool' Third with $1.67M
Disney's Zootopia grossed $5.37 million on Tuesday to lead the daily box office for a fifth consecutive day. The critically acclaimed 3D computer animated film from Walt Disney Animation Studios was up a solid 18 percent over Monday's performance. Zootopia has grossed a very strong $84.98 million in five days of release. That places the film 12 percent ahead of the $75.68 million five-day start of 2014's The LEGO Movie and 18 percent ahead of the $71.88 million five-day take of 2014's Big Hero 6. Zootopia is expected to remain comfortably in first place over the upcoming weekend.
London Has Fallen held steady in second place with $2.13 million. The action thriller sequel from Focus and Gramercy was up a healthy 29 percent over Monday. London Has Fallen has grossed $25.42 million in five days. That is in line with pre-release expectations, but is also 30 percent below the $36.20 million five-day start of 2013's Olympus Has Fallen (which increased 11 percent on its first Tuesday to gross $3.07 million).
Fox's Deadpool took in $1.67 million to remain in third place. The Ryan Reynolds led blockbuster antihero film was up 17 percent over Sunday and down a solid 41 percent from last Tuesday. Deadpool has totaled a massive $314.58 million in 26 days. The film is running an extremely impressive 51 percent ahead of the $208.53 million 26-day take of 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Paramount's Whiskey Tango Foxtrot continued to claim fourth with $0.808 million. The R-rated comedy starring Tina Fey was up a strong 43.5 percent. However, in the bigger picture Whiskey Tango Foxtrot continues to run below expectations with a five-day start of $8.81 million. The film is running 35 percent behind the $13.63 million five-day start of 2014's This is Where I Leave You (which was up 40 percent on its first Tuesday to gross $0.864 million).
Gods of Egypt rounded out the day's top five with $0.565 million. Lionsgate's expensive action fantasy film was up 31 percent over Monday and down a sharp 56 percent from last Tuesday. Gods of Egypt has grossed just $24.04 million in twelve days, which is especially disappointing with both the film's price tag and the action fantasy genre in mind.
NORTH AMERICA: 'Zootopia' Nears $80M After Leading Monday with $4.54M; 'London Has Fallen' Second with $1.65M; 'Deadpool' Third with $1.43M
Disney's Zootopia took in $4.54 million on Monday to lead the daily box office for a fourth consecutive day. The critically acclaimed 3D computer animated film from Walt Disney Animation Studios fell 81 percent from Sunday. Zootopia has grossed a very strong $79.61 million through four days of release. That places the film 10 percent ahead of the $72.54 million four-day start of 2014's The LEGO Movie and an impressive 30 percent ahead of the $61.38 million four-day take of 2014's Big Hero 6. Given its strong early word of mouth and the relative lack of competition for family audiences it will continue to face throughout March, Zootopia is likely to hold up very well going forward.
London Has Fallen claimed second place with $1.65 million. The action thriller sequel from Focus and Gramercy declined 70 percent from Sunday's performance. London Has Fallen has grossed $23.29 million in four days. That is in line with pre-release expectations, but is also 30 percent below the $33.14 million four-day start of 2013's Olympus Has Fallen (which fell 65 percent on its first Monday to gross $2.76 million).
Fox's Deadpool followed closely behind in third place with $1.43 million. The Ryan Reynolds led blockbuster antihero film was down 70 percent from Sunday and down a solid 39 percent from last Monday. Deadpool has totaled a massive $312.91 million in 25 days. The film is running an extremely impressive 51 percent ahead of the $207.29 million 25-day take of 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Paramount's Whiskey Tango Foxtrot finished in fourth with $0.563 million. The R-rated comedy starring Tina Fey declined 69 percent from Sunday. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot has grossed $8.01 million in four days, which is a bit below expectations. The film is running 35.5 percent behind the $12.42 million four-day start of 2014's This is Where I Leave You (which fell 69 percent on its first Monday to gross $0.864 million).
Gods of Egypt rounded out Monday's top five with $0.432 million. Lionsgate's expensive action fantasy film was down 73 percent from Sunday and down a sharp 55 percent from last Monday. Gods of Egypt has grossed just $23.48 million in eleven days, which is especially disappointing with both the film's price tag and the action fantasy genre in mind.
POPULARITY OF PALACE CINEMA IN SUN PRAIRIE HAS MARCUS THEATRES® EXPLORING EXPANSION
Within 10 Months of Its Grand Opening, Palace Cinema is Among the Top 200 Theatres in the Country
Milwaukee, March 9, 2016... Marcus Theatres®, a division of The Marcus Corporation (NYSE:MCS), announced today that the company will submit plans to add two screens to the Palace Cinema in Sun Prairie. These additions, plus renovation of two existing screens, are in response to customer feedback and demand.
"Since opening on April 30, 2015, the Palace Cinema has proven itself as a destination within the community," said Rolando Rodriguez, president and chief executive officer of Marcus Theatres. "To ensure we have enough showtimes for our guests, we are already exploring expansion at this popular theatre. Going from 12 to 14 screens will help. In addition, two of our current Big Screen Bistro℠ auditoriums, which include in-theatre dining, would add the features of our SuperScreen DLX℠ concept, combining food and beverage with the ideal moviegoing experience."
With approval from municipal authorities, Marcus Theatres will break ground in April for the two screen addition at Palace Cinema, adding nearly 250 total seats by early fall. Renovations to the existing two auditoriums are planned to follow a similar timeline.
Adding SuperScreen DLX features to two of the existing Big Screen Bistro auditoriums means guests can enjoy movies on oversized screens with Dolby® Atmos® multidimensional sound, which provides a lifelike, virtual soundscape with speakers in the front, back, sides and ceiling of the auditoriums. DreamLounger℠ recliner seating will remain to provide moviegoers with maximum comfort that feels like home and double the legroom between the rows. Plus, as a Big Screen Bistro auditorium, a complete menu with full-service wait staff is available.
The Marcus Palace Cinema will continue to provide guests a complete night out with our popular amenities, including DreamLounger seating throughout the theatre; two UltraScreen DLX® auditoriums; Big Screen Bistro in-theatre dining; Zaffiro's® Express, featuring THINCREDIBLE® handmade thin-crust pizza; and a Take Five Lounge®, an in-lobby cocktail lounge with an outdoor patio and fire pit.

KPC and NDM, the two most common types of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriacese (CRE), were recently cited in a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the "CDC") Health Advisory, due to each bacteria's high level of drug resistance, the mortality rate for humans that become infected with the bacteria and the increase in cases involving each bacteria (see http://www.bt.cdc.gov/HAN/han00341.asp). C. diff is also a major problem for healthcare facilities due to its resistance to multiple antibiotics and, in its spore form, its resistance to routine disinfection products.
Both CRE and C. diff are hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) that most commonly occur in healthcare settings in patients who are receiving treatment for other conditions and who are taking long courses of certain antibiotics. The rates of infection for both CRE and C. diff increase in direct proportion to the length of a patient's stay at a healthcare facility.

Conversations about Germany: Anne Morgenstern
When I received Anne Morgenstern's 2015 book Land Ohne Mitte in the mail, I knew immediately that it was a landmark publication. The book looks deeply into something that in the immediate next years would explode out into the open in Germany, first with Pegida and then with the far-right AfD, a party that would openly establish racist and neo-fascist discourse in Germany.
It's too easy and simple to tie all pf this to the East German states. After all, West Germany had had its fair share of far-right extremists. Before the AfD, those had mostly been bound to other far-right parties but had also had representation in the nationalist wings of the main conservative parties (to some extent, the latter is still true today).
Given its history, though, there was something different going on in East Germany, something that I had a hard time understanding, given my own biography as someone born in the West. Anne's book pried something open, and it helped me see things less black and white. A little later, Anne produced Reinheit, another book that centered on something very specifically German.
What's striking about Anne's work is her ability to convey things using an imagery that is, for a lack of a better description, visually endearing first — before it cuts to the chase. This approach might confuse non-Germans and Germans alike, given that photography made in Germany often (but not always) is very cerebral, at best keeping things at arm's length. It's not that Germans have no emotions, but they don't tend to wear them on their sleeves. For better or worse, much of Germany's photography reflects this approach.
Given the preceding and given my interest in German photographers dealing with their country's hugely problematic history, I had wanted to speak with Anne about her work and about what it meant to her. For my ongoing series of conversations about Germany, I reached out to her, and much to my delight, she was happy to chat. For this conversation, I spoke with Anne over Zoom at the end of November this year. The conversation has been edited for length and clarity, and it was translated from its original German.
Jörg Colberg
You were born in 1976 in Leipzig. So you experienced quite a bit of the GDR?
Anne Morgenstern
Yes, and I think it had a big impact on me. I've read a lot about it later. It's very interesting to realize that it's not just me, but that quite a lot of things and sensitivities that shape me are partly a historical phenomenon.
I find that very interesting because I grew up in West Germany. I have the imprint of the "other side". How would you say that it shaped you? How would you describe that?
I have to tell you a little bit about my biography. It's pretty rough. When the Wall came down… Actually, I have to start a little earlier. The year 1989 was a really dense affair.
My grandmother, my father's mother, was a senior lecturer in German and journalism. She had an old apartment. Since there was a housing shortage in the East, my parents moved in with her. The four of us lived in the apartment, which wasn't always easy, especially for my parents.
In the fall of 89, I was 13 and the Monday demonstrations were in full swing. The mood was very charged. In my family, too. My mother always wanted to go to the West and probably would have gone without my father. Then, three weeks before the fall of the Wall, my father took his own life. From today's perspective, I would say that my father was severely depressed. He slept a lot, he was very withdrawn, and as a person he was always somehow absent. I assume that the fear of change, the fear of the unknown was the trigger for his suicide.
I later realized that my father also was a person of his generation in the GDR. There were many depressed people who were not allowed to be depressed. There were an inordinate number of suicides, but you were not allowed to call them that. It was the same in my family. You weren't allowed talk about it. "You don't do that." Therefore, I had to come up with something that happened to my father.
Then the Wende happened. When the Wall came down, my mother applied to leave the country. In February 90, she immediately moved with me to Munich because her sister lived there. My aunt had left for the West when she was 19, before the Wall had been built. She was seven years older than my mother. That's why we ended up in Munich. As I said, I was 13 years old. I think that's really a difficult age.
Later, I read a very good book by Steffen Mau, Lütten Klein. As someone born in 1968, the author himself grew up in Lütten Klein, a prefabricated-housing estate near Rostock. He is a micro-sociologist and can describe these phenomena extremely well. That was an incredible eye-opener for me. My generation is called Wende-Kinder [children of the Wende]. These are people who were born in the GDR between 1975 and 85 and whose parents were completely overwhelmed and marked by existential fears.
The parents were born between 1940 and 1960, had lived in the GDR for too long and were so firmly rooted in it. They were no longer young enough or already too established to be able to go through the tour de force of having to redefine themselves. The Wende-Kinder are a generation of people "lacking guidance". That's how Mau describes it. Everything changed 180 degrees. Teachers no longer had any authority. And the parents were, as I said, totally overwhelmed. In some cases, children had to assume the position of adults. Adults didn't provide any guidance. This is similar to what happened to me.
My mother was very cool. But she was a woman of her time from the GDR: independent, emancipated, in a practical, everyday sense. She left without a man. That is a phenomenon that was typical of the GDR. The migration movement from the East to the West was dominated by women. In some areas, more than two-thirds of the women went to the West, and the men stayed behind. Women were used to having jobs, earning their own money. They were more flexible and pragmatic. That's why they were much better off in the West, especially in the service sector — unlike the male labor heroes who stayed behind.
And then I had this hard impact in Munich: to feel what it means to be an Ossi. I thought that that was the ultimate crash.
What was that like for you at that age? I remember when I was 13 years old that was a weird time.
It was really terrible.
I'm trying to imagine having to move at that age into a completely different environment… And Munich of all places. I'm from the north and lived in Munich for a while. I hated it.
Munich is still okay. I moved to the affluent suburbs because my aunt lived there. I don't know why my mother did that. She never suffered from it and always thought it was a bit cool. I thought it was terrible. Even today, when I go to those suburbs, I feel paralysed and suffocated. That's what I was trying to work through with Reinheit, the tightness that surrounds me there. It was such a double whammy, Munich and Ossi. Munich is difficult anyway. [laughs] Add to that being East German… That was something totally new for me.
Up to that point, I had had a very nice childhood and a great youth despite my absent father. And lots of girlfriends. That was really beautiful. It actually hurt me to leave, even though there was the promise of the West. When I arrived there, I thought "What? That's it? That can't be what everyone was talking about." Bavarians and Westerners can be very… Well, it's probably the Bavarians, because I didn't know the others. But to be burdened with being inferior — that was quite corrosive, also from the teachers' side. At times, that was rather tough.
I lived in Munich myself, and even as a West German I found it very restricted and narrow minded. I imagine it's very difficult to be an East German there.
When the Wende came, I had just gone to university. I had lived at home for a very long time, I was dependent on my parents. For the first time, I got out to study physics.
When were you born?
Ah, so you're another one from 68.
Yes. I got out and studied in Bonn, the capital of West Germany. That's when I had to stand on my own two feet for the first time. The fall of the Wall and reunification — with all the upheavals in my personal life, I didn't really notice it so much. But I noticed that I was unable to place people in East Germany.
Two years before I graduated from high school, my class went on a trip to the GDR, to Dresden and Postdam.
The real GDR experience?
Yes. That had been the only opportunity I had had to meet people from the GDR. The FDJ had a lot of control over whom you would meet. There was a youth evening where selected GDR youths hung out with us. It was just like you'd imagine it from West German anti-GDR television programs.
I am a little bit envious. If I could time through travel, I would definitely go there, but as an older me.
Right, that's what I always think. I often think about it, even if it doesn't make sense. I really wish that at the time in Bonn or during the trip to the GDR… I wish I had had the knowledge I have now.
Absolutely! I agree completely.
That is such a missed opportunity for me, not dealing more closely with the Wende. At the time, I was very actively looking into West Germany's Nazi past and asked around in my family, "What happened then?" All those stories you heard — nobody knew anything, and there had been so few people who had actively participated… I simple didn't believe that. That just couldn't be correct.
I don't believe that, either.
Over time, the truth emerged. So I looked into German history. On the other hand, though, I was busy with petty personal problems and practically missed German history unfold in real time.
I can't imagine being thrown into a completely different world at a time like that. That world is not so different in itself, because there are also Germans. But at the same time, it is totally different.
How did you find the topic that became Land ohne Mitte? Where did you study?
I studied in Munich at the Staatliche Fachakademie für Foto-Design (State Academy for Photo Design), and then in Zürich at the ZHdK (Züricher Hochschule der Künste — Zurich University of the Arts).
I read the interview with Jonas Feige. He says that he has always been interested in history. I am a person who always tried to pay attention in history classes. But I had very bad history teachers. I never understood the larger context.
Something I always have to do if I don't understand something is to look at it from the inside. I knew Michael Schmidt a little bit. He pushed me and told me [Michael Schmidt voice:] "You have to work on something that has something to do with you!" So I started taking pictures of some of my girlfriends. That was very pretty lame.
Why did I then go back to the East… After the birth of my son, I had an endless longing a) to get away again and b) for these places. The sociological moment that resulted from it came later. In the beginning, I had a longing for landscapes in the East. I chose Knappensee. I didn't want to go to Leipzig because it's a city. It had changed very quickly. The city of my childhood had disappeared extremely quickly.
That's another aspect of me being a child of my time. Having to deal with it again and again – that always comes back. Also the longing for it. The visuals — the symbols, the pictures, but also one's biography — that was not accepted. It wasn't valued either. I had a longing for big trees and trails and lush, strangely overgrown hedges.
So I went to Knappensee, which is in Upper Lusatia. I researched it a little bit. The area is a conglomeration of my mother and my grandmother. My mother used to work as an engineer, industrial hygiene. Se took measurements in lignite-fired power plants to see how much of a health risk they posed. She also did asbestos measurements.
My grandmother was a Germanist. There were letters between her and Brigitte Reimann, a writer. Reimann wrote a lot about everyday working life in the GDR. She also wrote about an architect, "Franziska Linkerhand," who was involved in designing a new city and was critical of it. For a while, Reimann lived in Hoyerswerda. She went to these places especially to be able to write from there, from the inside. That's why I went there. There was something for me.
The first time I went to Upper Lusatia with my mother, who was babysitting my son. I kept walking around the lake. The lake is in the book. It comes up again and again. At some point I realized that that wasn't enough. [laughs] I printed out the pictures that offered something, put them on the floor, and asked myself "what's missing?"
I realized that I might have to go to Hoyerswerda after all. At first I wanted to avoid it, because for me it was associated with the events of 1991. But then I went anyway. I started to meet people there, at parties, in pubs, etc. Before I did that, there was no tension at work.
When I work on photographs, I always need something that attracts me very much and that repels me at the same time, something that is a bit unwieldy — full of love and yet raw. That's where I was digging: where do I find this unwieldy material?
With Hoyerswerda, you picked something really unwieldy.
It's unwieldy, but also not so unwieldy. I also have a very loving attitude towards it. I can see myself very much in it. And I accept that, I think, also the people. But of course I exclude the radical right-wing scene from that.
Perhaps my reaction is simply based on how I perceived Hoyerswerda at the time. I read newspapers and Der Spiegel, and I learned about the big news items while I was busy studying physics. Hoyerswerda was one of the big topics where I was just shocked. I remember that. I asked myself how it was possible that something like that was back, that something like that was happening again in Germany. I don't remember if it was the first pogrom…
It was the first pogrom.
Now, I know how little I understood at the time about what was going on in the East. Looking back, I regret that I didn't go there to deal with it myself. To meet people and so on. But I remember how shocked I was. And that's why this is a huge issue for me. I've also been dealing with the subject in my own work: the far-right movement in Germany. That's why I find it so impressive that you have dealt with it. But with your socialization and your background, you probably see the topic differently.
Yes, I have always tried not to treat this particular aspect as the main part. It is one aspect of many, and it shines through. In my work, I'm fundamentally interested in approaching it without prejudice: To look for the places, to try to understand. I try to understand what is going on or what is present not with my head but with my heart.
Do you know the Thomas Heise's films? He produced many documentaries in the East, Stau – Jetzt geht's los and Kinder. Wie die Zeit vergeht. He did a lot of interviews. He did these in 1990, 91, 92, and then again in 2007 in Halle Neustadt. In the past, they were always impossible to find. But now they are available from the Bundesamt für politische Bildung (Federal Office for Political Education). I can highly recommend them. Among other things, there are interviews with 18, 19, 20-year-olds from the right-wing scene. They are very interesting.
Steffen Mau takes a completely different approach in his book. Unfortunately, it was not yet available when I did my work. He describes how the emigration of women and the fact that men stayed behind created a strongly male-dominated society in the East. Between 1991 and 2005, in some cases two-thirds of the women left for the West, excluding Leipzig and Berlin. That is the first point.
The second point is that there was a very striking drop in the birth rate at the time of the Wende. Normally, something like that would have been in the single digits. But due to the combination of these two facts, there really were years in which there were 300 men for every 100 women.
Mau dives deeper into it. Women tend to marry men that are socially better off. Consequently, there was such a blatant asymmetry between men and women that the classic working man ended up remaining single. There is the theory that men in male-surplus societies tend to be much more violent and that testosterone levels of men who are not in relationships are much higher. So they have to assert themselves through much more aggressive, physical behavior. That's how Mau attempts to describe it.
On top of that, of course you have the issue of self-esteem, of not being seen, the fact that one's descent, which has so much to do with identity, was never recognized. When you're from the East, this wound always returns. It's soooo deep. That's really crazy. Of course, the AfD is heavily exploiting this, including with sentiments such as "now they're also taking away our women."
That's consistent with what you see with neo-fascism here in the U.S. A lot of it runs on the idea of masculinity. A perceived loss of power, a loss of recognition. People are suffering from that — whether they've lost their jobs in the Rust Belt or they don't have jobs. I think the U.S. is even more conservative than Germany in that regard. The image of the man, the masculine, is still much more pronounced here than in Germany. That's where it gets charged, probably to a similar extent as in East Germany, only against a different background. Masculinity is seen as under threat. The right-wing right offers a way out with a constructed identity.
You now live in Switzerland. How long have you been there?
Forever. Twenty years.
Then you've been in Switzerland just as long as I've been in the USA. Switzerland is a foreign country, it's not Germany. So you have the view of Germany from the outside as an East German who grew up partly in the former West Germany and then saw the reunified Germany. How do you see Germany against your personal background? What does that mean to you, personally but also as an artist?
I become much more German in Switzerland, because I am perceived much more as a German and treated as a German. In Bavaria, I was more of an East German.
I like this being foreign. I like it. In the beginning, it was difficult as well. Switzerland was much more encrusted then, it wasn't very open. Zurich is not Switzerland, of course. You have to say that, too. Because of the bilateral agreements, there are many more foreigners in Zurich now. When I started studying, it wasn't like that. Then, I found it all very difficult. But it has become very easy to live in Zurich. You can choose the people you want to see. [laughs] As a German, it's a bit more difficult in Switzerland. For the Swiss, Germans are often too fast, too loud, too self-confident. Of course, that's a total turn-off.
Now I can look at Germany in a completely different way. I also feel very connected. I realize how deeply it is embedded. I don't know whether that is being German, but I know how much of a connection I have to the country of origin. It's actually much more the East than Bavaria. Bavaria also influenced me, but not as deeply.
I notice it very strongly when it comes to language. German language in general, words that trigger me, that somehow are quite old and make something vibrate and sound in-between. Language delimits, but it also opens up a world. It influences perception. It is very powerful and it can be a tool. But it can also be deficient, have many gaps, and not describe things.
I think the German language is an absolutely beautiful language, even if it is a harsh, harsh language. But I feel at home in it. When I make work, I always try to describe or explore this gap that you can also find in language. To show or try to tell things that can't necessarily be told with language either: Gaps, vibrations, things that can happen where spaces open up that cannot or cannot yet be described. In that sense, the German language has something to do with my work.

A very great news, another year has come our way!
As you can see, I celebrated well the coming of 2016.
I hope that this year is one of a more peaceful time for the world. I hope that we find solutions to mend the rift amongst us all humans in this beautiful wide world, which keep getting smaller and smaller everyday.
To 2016, may it be of prosperity, peace, brotherhood and goodwill to all mankind.
2016 will be a very important year to some countries who will be electing new officials in their governments. All I can say is that you need to vote wisely for these officials, who will have the power to change your country and of the wider world. Remember, ultimately you deserve who you elect to govern.
The UK would also be deciding whether to stay in the European Union or come out altogether and bypass being a member of a federal Republic of Europe. We need to think hard and weigh the pros and the cons of staying in or out. Come May, we will also be electing a new mayor. Let us vote for someone deserving.
May we all bring forth a decision that would be best for all.
Peter and I went to bed very late last night. We stayed up for the presidential debate between Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee, Donald Trump.
Donald Trump was able to fence vocally with the lawyer wit of Hillary.
One thing though that we've noticed throughout the debate was the bias toward Hillary of the moderators, Cooper Anderson and esp3ecially Martha Raddats.
Time and again she would allow Hillary to go over the 2 minutes allotted time but she would chastise Donald for even a couple of second longer. Martha's moderating left something to be desired!
Yesterday was the start of the Rio 2016 Olympics, which was a 10th times cheaper than the London 2012.
Canada has been battling a massive fire that has been going on for days. It is likely to cost billions to settle the damages. I hope they are insured!
Peter and I went out to vote today at our local polling station. We had to vote for the new London Mayor, our Barnet MP and National Assembly.
It was pretty quiet when we went at around 11:30am.
Can't wait for the result. Will Zac Goldsmith replaces Boris Johnson? Or will it be Labour's Khan?
Sadiq Khan is the new London Mayor.
Omg! My washing hanging nice and lovely in the garden had been attacked by hailstone.
Can't believe there are still hailtones about. It is now the end of April.
where is that lovely warm spring sunshine?!!!
OMG, what is happening? Prince, the flamboyant, most influential singer of his time just died at the very young age of 57.
Sad day especially for me as he was my generation.
I can't believe it! Another death in the UK celebrity world. Victoria Wood, a prime UK television comedian has just died at the age of 62. It was apparently from a quick battle with cancer.
OMG, if I had to record everyone who died so far this year, this particular blog would be more of an obituary.
It is so lovely today. It is like early summer, really contrary from yesterday, which rained throughout the day with wintry temperature.
Today, it is hot and lovely and the new garden parasol is in use.
It is Easter holiday weekend but this Saturday is just one of the wettest of the year yet and it is expected get worst with gales hitting the capital.
It was lovely and springlike just yesterday.
Europe and Russia are working together to research the Red Planet. They have today sent into space towards Mars and unman rocket to search for life in Mars.
Apparently there is a very titillating matter of the presence of methane gas in Mars when there shouldn't be.
We will hopefully find out more in 8 months to a year!
Barack Obama must have been having a bit of a hizzy fit after claiming that David Cameron and the UK are free riding and not paying our own with the war in Libya and other war mongering.
What happened to close 'special relationship' between the UK and the US? Honeymoon is over?!!!
Just a few days ago, photos of the Family Cambridge's family skiing holiday together, were officially released by Buckingham palace.
I am afraid the public did not really appreciate the look of grand holiday when most Brits suffering the cold weather in old Blighty.
It is being commented that William hardly needs to go on a holiday when he had hardly been at work as well as not done many public engagement!
Awww, have we fallen out of love with the beautiful Family Cambridge?!!!
We got back from the Philippines after almost a month long holiday visiting the family. Peter and I had a really good time. Peter especially love the bonding around the dinner table. He found it happy, wholesome and how a typical family should be.
Currently in Laoag City. We are looking forward to touring the city itself and nearby Vigan, which is one of the World Heritage site.
Another death to report. Terry Wogan had died after a short battle with cancer.
Hope the mortality rate in the month of February is lower.
We are going to the Philippines for a month long holiday soon. The preparation is not as smooth as can be. There have been some last minute health issues which is rather unsettling. Hope everything goes well and that we have a peaceful, calm and happy holiday with my Filipino family.
This month of the year has seen so many deaths.
Today Colin Veanrcombe, lead singer of Black has pass away. His death was from a traffic accident where we ended up in a coma and he had never regain consciousness.
One of my favourite songs ever. It is rather melancholy but rather uplifting all the same.
Another death, I am afraid. This time it was Glenn Frey, lead guitarist of one of my most favourite rock bands ever, the Eagles, the group that brought us in my opinion, the best guitar intro.
Glenn Frey died still relatively young at 67 from complications from rheumatoid arthiritis and colitis.
RIP, Glenn Frey. You are a legend.
Another death. This one particularly affected me because it is Alan Rickman, my favourite British actor of all time. So very sad as the British movie and film industry will miss him so much for his great presence, acting and persona.
This is the strangest story so far of the year. Rupert Murdock has just announced his engagement to the ex-supermodel, ex 'Mrs" Jagger, Jerry Hall.
I find this coupling rather strange as it was so unexpected.
Jerry has enough money of her own so she does not really need anyone for want of wealth. I supposed, Henry Kissinger is right then in saying " Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac." This is the only explanation I can come out with. Murdock is from from being a broncho billy buck, and Jerry, not being a spring chicken herself, is still so much younger than Murdock.
David Bowie has died at the age of 69. Too young nowadays.
Happy ~Three Kings, it is the Twelft Night today and as traditions go, Christmas decorations have to come down.
Christmas is truly over. We just taken down all the Christmas decoration. It has been so lovely to have all our little Christmas trinkets collected over the years around us. But now they have to go to the loft to rest for another 10 months.


Our Student Ministry is a group of students who are seeking to learn and love from Jesus. Our students have developed a strong sense of servant leadership through their rhythm in FBCFO life.
Our students have primary gathering moments weekly, such as Sunday Bible Groups and Wednesday night worship. Our big weekly highlight is Oneighty which happens at 6pm on Wednesday nights! It includes free pizza, games, worship, prayer, discussion and teaching!
A significant growth moments are mission camps, DisicipleNOW, and Spring/Fall Retreats. But the students are consistently going out into the community as well. Mission projects are a common enjoyment of theirs. "Gathering" and "going" is how they grow!
Part of FBCFO student life is a monthly fundraising lunch where they serve the congregation to raise money for Summer Camps. We desired to see our youth embrace the glory of God as an ultimate purpose, experience worship of the Living God, and sense the need for missions in a fractured world.
Our teens serve all year long to take part in their mission trip. It is an event that they look forward to throughout the year!
