The feet are a complex system of bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. On a daily basis, we ask a lot of our feet, so wearing the proper footwear doesn't seem like too much to ask. However, many of us grab the first pair of shoes that we see, and our feet are sent out into the world without adequate foot support. Imagine former Houston Astros player Craig Biggio showing up to play in his favorite pair of running shoes!
Selecting the proper footwear for physical activity is imperative for good foot health. Cleats, court shoes, running shoes, and tennis shoes all serve different purposes. Depending on your favorite workout, you may need more control, stability, or support. For example, a running shoe needs to allow for flexibility as it moves with the foot, while a shoe designed for basketball will be more rigid to support quick movements.
Your feet will let you know quickly if you have made a poor shoe selection. Painful skin irritation such as blisters may be the first sign that something has gone wrong. A jammed toe, or agitation of a hammertoe or bunion will also cause discomfort. Bunions can be especially painful, and the bony protrusion requires a wide toe box.
Is foot pain keeping you out of the game? Physical activity is vital for overall health, so don't wait another day to call the offices of Dr. Marco Vargas. After a complete exam, Dr. Vargas will design a treatment plan to fit your needs and address your foot pain. We have three convenient locations in Sugar Land, Houston, and Missouri City, TX. Appointment requests are also available online.

Acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler said electric cars are "not grounds for concern" at the EPA—yet highway safety and car prices are. Tesla buys a company that builds ultracapacitors. Hyundai and Kia aim to avoid the dreaded "compliance car" label with their EV sales—barely. We investigate the hesitation. In our latest Twitter poll, readers tell us how important it is to them that their electric car be American-made. All this and more on Green Car Reports.
At a Bloomberg conference on the future of mobility in California, Acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler sat down with California Air Resources Board Chairwoman Mary Nichols to try and iron out their differences over emissions and fuel-economy standards. Wheeler also told the Bloomberg conference, that whether cars run on electricity or some other fuel "is not grounds for concern" at the EPA. Or at least it isn't if the agency doesn't concern itself with air quality.
On Monday, Tesla bought San Diego-based ultracapacitor manufacturer Maxwell Technologies, in what looks like an effort to develop more energy-dense batteries and possibly even acquire solid-state technology.
Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia are cranking out new electric and plug-in cars right and left, with four electrics and four plug-in hybrids among their lineups. Yet the cars are not widely available and many buyers complain of not being able to get one. We look at what's going on.
In our latest Twitter poll results, our readers weigh in on how important it is to them to buy American with their next electric car, if the purchase supports building an innovative economy in the U.S.
Aston Martin's uber-exclusive luxury brand Lagonda plans to show its first electric SUV at the Geneva auto show next month.
Finally, the National Transportation Safety Board released its "most wanted" list of new laws to make roads safer. On top of the list: mandatory automatic emergency braking for cars, trucks, and RVs that will stop for motorcycles, too; and a lower 0.05 blood-alcohol threshold for drunk driving arrests.

It seems like ages ago when I met Becky + Josh at Frothy Monkey in Franklin for our first meeting. From the get-go these two exuded sweetness that I have found only exists in young sweethearts. They adore each other so much, you can't help but fall into their love and end up adoring them yourself.
Over the months since we first met, I've talked to Becky more than any other bride I've had in the past 3 years. They've had some ups and downs about choosing a wedding venue and changing dates, and she's always called me to make sure I'd still been available on their new proposed date (yes!) but through it all their vision of keeping their wedding day an intimate gathering of their closest family and friends has never wavered.
And, so it was little surprise when, after a few other ideas, Becky told me that they really wanted to do their engagement photos at home and at a Park where she spent a lot of her summers growing up and even more time with Josh after they began dating.
So, a few days after their last finals of the fall semester at University of Tennessee Chattanooga wrapped, I met them at Josh's family home in Goodlettsville where we warmed up with some cocoa and cookie-decorating.
Well, as you know, with good light, and a good-looking couple, my job is easy (for me). Becky might have been worried about looking awkwards but after a few snaps and back-of-the-camera previews, she was at ease and rolling through all of my ideas and direction like she'd been in front of a camera her whole life.
Well, their September wedding is still several months off, and I'm sure I'll be sitting down with these two for tea again soon. You can leave them some love on Insta for them if you'd like to say hello!

HTML is the structural language behind every website in the world. It is the first language students must learn in web design and web development.
HTML 5 is the lastest version of HTML. HTML is also a great first coding language, because it introduces basic concepts and habits that are applicable to any type of coding.
Hand coding or a web design app?
If the goal is to teach web design, why not just start off by teaching a WYSIWYG app like Dreamweaver?
Nerd note: WYSIWYG is short for 'What You See Is What You Get'. These are point & click style apps, that make building websites similar to using a desktop publishing app like Adobe InDesign.
Web design apps like Dreamweaver are complex all on their own; so having students learn web design and Dreamweaver at the same time, will just give you more headaches. If your goal is to teach Dreamweaver, the best way to approach it, is to first start with HTML and CSS and then move to Dreamweaver.
After students are comfortable with HTML, CSS is the next language to teach.

Thai cuisine is a cohesion of clean, distinct flavors—sweet, sour, spicy, salty and bitter—derived from different herbs, spices and vegetables. No-fuss preparation is a hallmark of many Thai dishes, yet finding the right ingredients locally can present a challenge. As recently as a few years ago, the most commonly used Thai ingredients were found only in specialty markets, if at all, and freshness was an issue. But as Thai cuisine continues to grow in popularity, Thai spices, vegetables and herbs have begun to carve a noticeable niche in many of Austin's farmers markets and nurseries.
And backyard gardeners are discovering how easy it is to grow a Thai garden at home. The weather in Central Texas and Thailand is very similar—most notably the heat and humidity. It doesn't rain as much in Texas as it does in Thailand, though, and the winters here are much harsher. Because of this, some delicate Thai herbs will need protection in the summer and winter. Choosing a garden plot that gets more of the morning sun is best, but if afternoon sun dominates, shade tender herbs like basil and mint with a mesh tarp.
Common Asian plants like lemongrass and Kaffir lime trees are perennial and do well here, either potted or in the ground. Lemongrass is very easy to grow: simply place fresh lemongrass (available at stores) in a bowl of water for a few days. As soon as roots appear on the stalk, bury the whole thing in the garden. Lemongrass is fragrant but very mild, and lends itself to steeping. Make an aromatic tea from the leaves, and a flavorful soup from the stalk.
Kaffir lime trees are easy to grow as well. The leaves are refreshingly aromatic and very versatile—offering a touch of citrus flavor to soups, salads and stir-fry dishes. When used in a stir-fry recipe, the leaves are most often sliced into very thin slivers to evenly distribute their intense flavor; for soups and salads, they're torn in half. The fruit of the tree is small with bumpy skin—the zest of which is used mainly in curry pastes. Kaffir limes are sour and bitter and are not used in today's cooking, though the juice can be used to clean silver and copper.
Plants like Thai basil and chilies are annuals that do well in Austin's climes. Thai chilies are small and much spicier than jalapeños or serranos. Like many peppers, they start off green and turn red as they mature on the plant. They're used in soups, salads, stir-fry dishes and sauces. Dried Thai chilies are made from red chilies and are used in curry pastes and as a condiment. Be careful to grow different types of chilies far away from each other in the garden. They can cross-pollinate and you'll end up with sweet Thai chilies and spicy bell peppers!
A Thai garden wouldn't be complete without galangal, the pleasantly loud member of the ginger family whose roots are famous for lending a bright, strong flavor to dishes—most often coconut soup. To grow galangal, buy fresh roots (available at grocery stores) and place them directly into the garden soil or pot. Soon, more roots will begin to shoot and green leaves will emerge above the soil. Simply unearth and cut a bit of root when needed for a dish. The roots will continue to grow and multiply.
Most Thai herbs and spices are dormant in the winter, but much of the Thai garden bounty can be preserved for use in the winter months. Kaffir lime leaves, galangal, lemongrass and Thai chilies freeze very well. Preserve Thai basil by picking and blanching the leaves (to preserve the color), then wrapping them in aluminum foil for the freezer.
Aside from herbs and spices, many Asian vegetables used in Thai cuisine also love the heat of Texas. Local nurseries carry a good selection of seeds or starter plants like Chinese broccoli, bok choy, a variety of Thai eggplants and winter and summer squashes—all great additions to curries and stir-fry dishes.
And finally, why not incorporate a bit of centuries-old Thai tradition into your garden landscape as well? Thais believe that a tamarind tree planted in front of the house will ensure proper respect from society for the homeowner and protect him or her from ill will. And a jackfruit tree planted behind the house will bring support from people when needed. Unfortunately, neither tree would make it through an Austin winter in the ground. But luckily the beliefs apply to potted plants, too!
Get garden beds ready for early spring planting, and visit local nurseries to find out what they'll carry when it's time to plant. Add some of these Thai plants to your plot and get ready to make your favorite Thai dishes fresher than ever.

Do you notice that you may sometimes have bad breath, even though you brush and floss your teeth twice a day? The problem isn't necessarily your brushing technique, but may in fact be that you aren't cleaning your tongue properly.
Here's what you need to know about why you should be paying more attention to the cleanliness of your tongue and how to do just that.
Why is my tongue so important?
The tongue is a major feature of the mouth and makes it possible for us to eat and articulate our speech. Without it, we would not be able to taste anything, whistle a happy tune, tell someone about our day, or chew and swallow efficiently. It is such an integral part of our lives, used constantly every day, and yet most of the time we fail to give it a second thought.
You may have heard that the tongue is a muscle, but that is only partly true. The tongue is actually a group of muscles with each one having a specific job. At the tip of the tongue is a small muscle that can move quickly and uses the surface of the teeth to create certain sounds of speech, such as when pronouncing the letter 'L'. This muscle also moves food from the front of the mouth to the back where it can mix with saliva and break down into swallowable bits.
Other muscle groups in the tongue help to change the shape of the tongue and move it up, down, side-to-side, in, and out. The muscles at the back of the tongue make it possible for us to articulate what are known as hard sounds of speech, such as the letter 'K' and 'G'. They also move food that's ready to swallow into the esophagus in small and controlled amounts so we don't choke.
Aside from looking extra dapper, you mean?
Just like bacteria builds up on and in between your teeth, hardening into plaque and tartar if not removed, bacteria also builds up on your tongue. The surface of your tongue is covered in tiny bumps called papillae, and within the grooves of these bumps collect bacteria, dead skin cells, and food particles. This is then covered by a thin layer of mucus which coats the fleshy parts of the mouth. The bacteria and other debris trapped on the tongue can cause bad breath, or halitosis, and a white discolouration of the tongue. In addition, the bacteria on the tongue can redeposit onto teeth and gums, even after they've been cleaned, increasing the likelihood of plaque and tartar buildup.
So how do I clean my tongue properly?
There are two main ways to properly clean your tongue: brushing and scraping. Brushing your tongue involves gently scrubbing your tongue from back to tip with a moistened toothbrush. You can do this most effectively while brushing your teeth by spitting out excess toothpaste after cleaning your teeth but before rinsing so that your mouth and toothbrush still have toothpaste residue on them. Then gently scrub your tongue, cheeks, and the roof of your mouth before rinsing to reap the protective benefits of the toothpaste and get an all around clean.
If you'd prefer a different or additional tongue cleaning method, try out a tongue scraper. These devices can be found inexpensively at most drug stores. They're designed to glide along the surface of your tongue, taking off the tongue's layer of mucus, as well as the bacteria and debris it traps.
To use most effectively, place the scraper at the back of the tongue while sticking your tongue out and, with even pressure, slide the scraper down along the tongue's surface towards the tip. Rinse the scraper and repeat, making sure to move from the back of the tongue to the tip so as to not to accidentally ingest the bacteria being removed. Once the whole surface of the tongue has been scraped, thoroughly clean and dry the tongue scraper, and brush and floss your teeth as normal.
How often should I clean my tongue?
Cleaning your tongue should be a part of your daily oral health routine. Bacteria begins to build up on the surface of teeth, gums, cheeks, and tongue very soon after brushing, so a daily tongue cleaning, just like regular brushing and flossing, is an important step in warding off oral health issues.
What if it hurts or I gag when I clean my tongue?
If you find that cleaning your tongue daily is resulting in discomfort, you may be scrubbing or scraping too vigorously. The pressure needed to clean the tongue is no more than the amount needed to lightly hold your toothbrush or tongue scraper in place on your tongue. Your tongue is made up of delicate skin which can become inflamed or painful when irritated, so if you are feeling discomfort, hold off on cleaning your tongue for a day or two until the skin of your tongue can restore itself and then try again with a much more gentle approach.
If the discomfort is due to a wound or sore, refrain from cleaning your tongue until the issue has healed as scrubbing or scraping the area will irritate it and may even cause more damage. Also, if this is the case for you, be sure to visit your dentist for further advice and to ensure that what's hurting you is not part of a larger health issue.
Cleaning your tongue can be a challenge for those who have a very sensitive gag reflex as touching the back of the tongue can sometimes trigger involuntary gag responses. If this sounds familiar to you, try out tongue cleaning slowly to get yourself used to the sensation. A trick of the dental trade is to stick out your tongue and, when you are about to touch a sensitive part, relax the tongue completely while exhaling fully. Exhaling generally overrides the gag reflex and allows you to go about your business without having to worry about unpleasant and involuntary gag responses.
If you still have questions, that's okay! Make an appointment to have a chat with your dentist. It is always best to talk to your professional dental health care provider before changing your oral care routine. Your dentist knows you and your mouth best and will be able to advise what is best for both. If you do not have a dentist and are looking for one who best suits your needs, be sure to check out 123 Dentist where we can match you with your ideal oral care provider.

I completed my PhD on working-class family life and the home in the Department of Economic and Social History at Leicester, now part of the School of Historical Studies. I then moved to Nottingham University where I was a Research Associate in the Institute of Films Studies and this was followed by another post as a Research Associate in the Department of Geography at Loughborough University. I have been a Honorary Fellow at the Centre since 2004 where I convene the MA module 'Vices and Virtues' and I am involved in the Centre's publicity and marketing.
I am also a Certificate Programme Co-ordinator for the Institute of Lifelong Learning at Leicester University's Vaughan College where I direct the HE Certificate in Modern British History and teach on the BA in Humanites and Arts.
My main research area is family life and the home in the twentieth century. I am interested in the impact of class, generation and gender on: the uses of domestic space; time spent in the home; household goods and material culture; and family relationships. My other research interests include leisure practices, in particular cinema-going and the seaside holiday. The central concern of my work is to examine how people interact with their environment and with each other and, importantly, to analyse people's subjective views of this experience.
I am also working with Dr Denise McHugh on behaviour in city centre streets in the middle decades of the twentieth century using films from the Medial Archive for Central England and oral histories from the East Midlands Oral History Archive.

I received a free copy from the publisher through Netgalley and voluntarily reviewed it.
Dangerous Moves is the first book in Karen Rock's new romantic suspense series. I've read almost all of Karen Rock's books so far and really like her writing. So I jumped on the chance to get an advance copy of this one. It is a great start of this new series, it has some steamy romance, danger, suspense and a bit of mystery all rolled into a great read.
The story follows Detective Blake Knight, who has to finish a case to get his long sought after promotion. He has to find out who is behind a steroids ring in Dallas. Reese returns to Dallas after her father is shot. There is a connection with Blake's case and he goes undercover in the club her father owns as male dancer to uncover the truth.
There is an instant attraction between Blake and Reese, even tough they don't know if they can trust each other at first. I liked how their romance was steamy, but it actually took a while before it really heated up. Which gave them time to get to know each other a bit better. But only toward the end of the book do they really open their hearts to each other.
It made for an interesting plot with how Reese and Blake didn't trust each other at first and are sort of on opposite sides. We get both their point of views, but there are a lot of questions and things we don't know. Blake sees Reese as a potential suspect and wonders if her father is involved. Reese defends her father and hopes her return to Dallas gives them a chance at reconciliation. But she knows some things don't add up in her fathers records and is afraid how he is tied into this.
I liked the suspense plot of this book and how both characters were involved/ connected to the case. There are some scenes filled with danger and tension. It kept me wondering who was involved in this case, how Reese's father tied into this all and how they would discover the truth. And there are some answers they can only get once Reese's father wakes up, if he does. In the end I predicted two important people involved in the case, but that's mostly due to well done foreshadowing and some well placed hints that allowed me to put things together. But it was still great to see them figure it out and resolve things.
I liked how Reese could hold her own, but at the same time it did make me a tad uncomfortable how she got involved in some scenes as she wasn't trained for this like Blake was. But she does have an original perspective and sheds some different light on things. And it was neat how they both tied to this case and how that connection allowed them to get closer.
Both Reese and Blake are great characters. I liked how different they were, but also how they had things in common. Reese left Dallas years ago after a traumatic experience and only returns once her father is shot and lands in a coma. She has changed since then and is ready to face her old fears, but part of those fears are still there. I like how she had her strengths, but also still had some doubts. She also kept some things from Blake, but while on the one hand that bothered me I also felt like it made sense as they weren't sure for a long time how much they could trust the other.
Reese sees things in shades of gray, while for Blake the world is black and white. I liked seeing when his conviction got challenged and when he eventually was forced to open his eyes and realize things weren't as black and white as he thought. I also liked how he slowly finds himself in this book and how some long lasted fears and worries are finally put to rest. I liked how he was protective of Reese, but also valued her insights and her initiative.
The first meeting between these two already has some heat and their attraction is obvious, but there's a lot between them before they can give into it. And when they do the sparks fly. There is mostly heat when they finally get closer, but then that slowly morphs into more. I loved seeing how they finally open themselves to more and trust the other. And there are some touching scenes later on. Like when they finally admit their fears to each other and fully trust each other with the things they know. The conflict between them was well done too, it made sense they didn't fully trust each other. And while there is a scene that causes some doubts between them toward the end, I am glad it didn't blow up as much as I feared. And I liked how things were resolved at the end.
To summarize: this was a great read and a good start this this new romantic suspense series. There is a good suspense plot line that kept me wondering. There is some well done foreshadowing that allowed me to predict two of the people involved in the case, but it was still great to see how the characters pieced things together. They have an immediate attraction to each other, but seem to be on opposites sides. I liked seeing them grow closer and then give in to the attraction between them. And eventually that attraction turns into more and I loved seeing when they open up to each other and start the trust the other. Both characters are great to read about. They are quite different from each other and have some differing points of view as well, which made for some interesting scenes. But they also fit so well together. All in all this book had a good mix between romance and suspense and I can't wait to see what the next book will bring.
What was your last romantic suspense read?
Wow! This sounds really good. I enjoy romantic suspense plots where the hero and heroine aren't sure whose side each other is on most of the time. The balance of romance and suspense looks good for this one with the attraction and slow burn romance developing along with the case.
Great review, Lola! I definitely want to read this one.
I hope you decide to pick this one up. I think you would enjoy it. I liked the suspense and it was interesting how we weren't sure if they were on the same side or not The author sure hit a good balance between the suspense and romance.
I do like a good romantic suspense read and Reese and Blake sound like a couple with great chemistry to go along with it. Great review!
I am slowly getting into reading more romantic suspense and so far I really enjoy the genre :). This was a great one and I really liked Blake and Reese.
I don't read a lot of this genre but this sounds so good.
I am slowly starting to read more of this genre and so far really enjoy the book I read :).
It was a strong set up for the romance with how the relationship build slowly. I have read almost all of Karen Rock's book and I really like her books :).

Best-selling author Rabbi Jonathan Cahn reveals Christ's real birthday
by Vanessa Garcia Rodriguez, | 21 November, 2014
HOUSTON, Texas (Christian Examiner) -- Jonathan Cahn the Messianic Jewish Rabbi best known for his best selling books "The Harbinger" (2012) and "The Mystery of the Shemitah," (2014) has now released a documentary film called The Mishkan Clue" -- a quest to solve the mystery of the date of Christ's birth.
In "The Mishkan Clue," Cahn rules out the traditional season for celebrating the occasion and makes a case for why knowing the actual date matters, focusing on the biblical passage that "shepherds were in their fields watching," as key to identifying when Christ actually was born.
Cahn considers a variety of material circumstances to pinpoint a time for Jesus to have been born, but ultimately decides a springtime delivery is the best fit with the details of the account beacuse it is Israel's "lambing season."
"Only in the lambing season do shepherds watch their flocks by night," Cahn says. In late March and and early April the shepherds would watch for lambs being born in the fields, he explains. "So here they are, out looking for lambs to be born and who do they find? The Lamb of God."
Leo Hohmann outlines Cahn's arguments in a post on WND Diversions, focusing on how Jewish observances coincide with key moments in the life of Christ:
-- Passover lines up with Jesus' death.
-- He rose on the Feast of First Fruits, and created the Church with the sending of his Holy Spirit on Shavuot or Pentecost.
-- The Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah foretells the Messiah's second coming.
So looking for a Jewish holiday in the spring that would fit with the Messiah's birth, Cahn settles on Nisan 1, because it sympolizes a new beginning.
Most scholars agree that the present tradition of celebrating Jesus' birth in December dates back to Emperor Constantine and his desire to coopt the Roman holiday of Saturnalia, a pagan celebration that includes a sacrifice to Saturn, a public banquet, gifts and a carnival-like atmosphere.
But Cahn's point is not political or religious or even academic, but relational.
He emphasizes that Christmas is a time to celebrate "God joining Himself to your life."
"Your life was meant to be like this tabernacle, filled with the glory of God. In that place is the fullness of your healing, in that place comes your emotional healing, your joy, your shalom, your destiny."
In other words, Jesus is the reason for the season.

Am I a co-laborer with Jesus Christ? What is the matter? It is because you have robbed God all through the week. You have committed robbery of God, and you have no part in His work. God help you to be converted. Some of you may be touched and say, "I don't like such straight preaching." I cannot help it if you do not. There must be somebody. "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins" [Isaiah 58:1]. We want your help, brethren, every soul of you.
What is the word that comes from the watchman on the walls of Zion? "The morning cometh, and also the night" [Isaiah 21:12]. Both are coming. The watchman has to give the note of warning. Every watchman on the walls is to take up the note and to sound it to the people. What do the people do--just sit and gape at the watchman? They have got, in their turn, to catch the trumpet sound, then to take it up and sound it through the churches; not call, "Watchman, come here, come here," because of this note, of this warning here in our church. Give it yourself, because you are connected with God. Give it yourself, because you are the channel of light. Catch the words all burning from the throne of God and give them to the people. That is what you are to do. Instead of quarreling about who shall be the greatest; instead of dissension, instead of strife, God help you to be converted. What you want is to become as little children.
I want heaven. Do you want it? We shall all see just how much we want it. We shall see just how much faith we have. For the Lord is coming and He is right at the door. We have but a little time to work, and if we let the world come in here and absorb all our attention and all our means, how can it be said of you in the judgment, "Enter ye in. Well done, good and faithful servant"? Where is your goodness and faithfulness? Was it on your farm? Was it in working with your hands? You can be faithful there, but you have something else to do. There is a world to be warned; there is a world to be saved; there is a sinner to be converted. While you are asleep the sinners are perishing; Satan is sowing his tares. You want to be wide awake in your churches. All heaven is interested for you; why not be interested for yourselves? "Open the door, and I will come in," said Christ. Will you open it? Will you let Him in? Will you be zealous and repent of your backsliding, your lack of love, your coldness, your indifference?

Experience the Second Steepest Funicular in the World
Those who are seeking for a thrill will have a great time at the second steepest funicular in the world. The Gelmerbahn in Guttannen, Switzerland, has an inclination of 106% and will bring you to the magnificent Gelmersee Lake. Originally the funicular was used to help with the construction of the Gelmer dam. It began operating in 1926, in 2001 it was converted into a tourist attraction. For an extra adrenaline rush, the first row is highly recommended. Don't forget to enjoy the beautiful scenery while travelling to the top.
The bottom station of the Gelmerbahn is located at 1412m above sea level. During a 10 min ride, the funicular takes you on a 1028m long track to the top station at 1860m above sea level. It travels at a speed of 2 meters per second.
Until 16 December 2017, the Gelmerbahn was the steepest funicular in the world. On that day the Stoos funicular opened and became first with an inclination of 110%.
Useful tip: The ticket booth for the Gelmerbahn is not equipped with a restaurant. If you haven't purchased a ticket in advance, waiting times can be a few hours in the summer season. At that moment you can go to Hotel Handeck for a meal. This hotel and restaurant can be reached by the Handeck suspension bridge which is located at the Gelmerbahn.

The Chicago renaissance in the performing arts was built on the back of a building and restoration boom. The all-new Harris Theater for Music and Dance, Goodman Theatre and Drury Lane Water Tower. The gorgeously restored Cadillac Palace Theatre. A new home for Victory Gardens in the arms of the historic Biograph Theater. The carving of the Lookingglass Theatre from the Water Tower Pumping Station. There has been a feast of new Chicago stages over the last five years or so.
But with the economy now in the toilet, ticket-buyers in fiscal shock from diminished 401(k)s and banks reluctant to lend to other banks, let alone famously risky arts organizations, prospects for new buildings are looking thin.
On Thursday, Walter L. Stearns, the artistic director of the Porchlight Theatre, which is renovating the former Fullerton State Bank Building in Lincoln Park, confirmed that his project had slowed "due to the economy." Although Stearns says he still hopes his group will have its new home "in due course," the planned opening in the fall of next year is not going to happen. "We were overly optimistic," Stearns said.
And what of other arts groups that also missed the easy building boom?
Many are being forced to shack up with someone else. Given the economic downturn, sharing of space may turn out to the new paradigm for Chicago cultural institutions. But even though the benefits of splitting costs, pooling resources and putting arts venues to maximum productive use are obvious, sharing performance space is a lot trickier than it seems. Especially if it takes place on less-than-equal terms.
Take the Chicago Children's Theatre, which is producing its current season at the Museum of Science and Industry (MSI). Founded in 2005 by artistic director Jacqueline Russell and Todd Leland, an executive at Goldman Sachs, the Children's Theatre immediately secured high-profile backers such as United Airlines, Target Corp. and philanthropist Gigi Pritzker. Its initial budget projection -- $3 million to $5 million dollars a year -- immediately placed the company among the city's largest arts organizations. The founders said Chicago deserved a world-class children's theater such as the ones in Seattle and Minneapolis, and expressed the hope that the city, and its supporters, would build them one.
Artistically, the Children's Theatre has had a distinguished three years, producing a slew of challenging, critically acclaimed shows and building fans throughout Chicagoland. Its production values have been stellar, and the company has brought major international artists to Chicago, including the U.K. troupe Oily Cart, the creators of its current show, "If All the World Were Paper."
But it has been forced to bounce around town from the Goodman to the Harris to the Field Museum to, currently, the MSI.
"People don't know who you are when they don't know where you are," says Russell. "And it's very hard on a company to move around all the time, and also very expensive."
You'd think the MSI would be an ideal location for the Children's Theatre -- one could feed an audience to the other. Indeed, Russell speaks appreciatively of the museum's willingness to host her company and says she'd like a long-term relationship.
But from an audience member's perspective, it's clear that this is a long way from a true partnership.
There is no mention of the show on the museum's Web site. Although MSI has a cavernous lobby with multiple retail and ticketing outlets, you find nary a word about the Children's Theatre show. You can't buy tickets at the front of the museum, where there is not so much as a poster for the show. MSI employees have little or no information. An audience member with an advance reservation must find a security guard with a printed list and get escorted back to the show, where a Children's Theatre employee at a table waits in a dark corner.
This is hardly the experience of attending a world-class children's theater. Demonstrably, the vast majority of MSI visitors have no idea the Children's Theatre is even there.
Andrea Ingram, MSI's vice president of education and guest experiences, said that the museum was in the process of improving the showgoer's ticketing and transitional experience in the lobby. But she also said that, for now at least, this was no more than a landlord-tenant agreement.
"We have a number of spaces that we make available to external parties," she said. "We allow them use of our facility, but we don't take on any responsibility for our special-events clients."
In fact, Ingram said, the museum has a specific policy that prevents signage in its lobby for outsiders.
Behold a typical problem for an itinerant arts group. The host venue has to protect its own interests and is often reluctant to take business away from itself, or risk an explicit new association, even if that defensive approach is shortsighted in the long term. Yet audiences tend to give credit for the show to the venue that is hosting the theater.
"It took us a long time for people to realize that we were the group producing 'The Sparrow' that they saw at Steppenwolf," says Nathan Allen, the artistic director of the House Theatre of Chicago, which has performed in four different spaces within the last year.
Like the Children's Theatre, House has had huge recent artistic success but still needs a home it can call its own. Allen says sharing space has its benefits, but he suggests that taking up residence with too many other theaters can be "a branding nightmare."
It's not hard for emerging arts groups to get a helping hand. Both Goodman and Steppenwolf have hosted smaller groups in their secondary spaces. "There is a spirit of cooperation and collegiality in the Chicago theater," says Goodman executive director Roche Schulfer. "People try to figure out ways to help each other." And indeed they do. Chicago's major arts groups, their smaller brothers and sisters say, have been unflaggingly generous in their support.
Still, when the Goodman needs prime dates for its own shows, it reasonably takes them. This is a big brother-little brother relationship, albeit a benevolent one. And the Goodman has avoided handing over one of its spaces to a company on a long-term basis, because it wants to spread opportunities around. "We prefer to work with a lot of different groups," Schulfer said.
The Theatre Building Chicago also sees itself as an incubator for emerging performance groups and has historically discouraged long-term residencies.
In fact, the only major Chicago arts building with a long-term commitment to equal partnerships is the Harris Theater for Music and Dance.
The venue was set up that way. And although it presents some artists itself -- such as the upcoming concerts by the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra and the St. Louis Symphony -- the institution is careful not to bigfoot the affiliated groups who perform there. And it now has some experience in helping with the inevitable infighting over money and prime dates.
"We're a negotiated democracy," said Michael Tiknis, the president. "It's not impossible to achieve."
At the Harris, a group such as the Chicago Opera Theatre can have shared digs and its own consistent identity.
In tough economic times, that's a model worthy of wider replication. And at the very least, such times surely merit some flexibility with rules about signs.


Ben Whitfield looks to have played his way into Neil Aspin's plans for tomorrow's home game with Oldham after the versatile forward's impressive substitute performance in the 1-0 Boxing Day defeat at home to Grimsby.
The 22 year old was praised by Aspin for his efforts after coming on at half time and playing his part in a much improved second-half performance from the Valiants, despite the defeat.
But Wes Thomas's 62nd-minute strike condemned the Valiants to defeat and left them with just one win in their last eight league games.
That's left Aspin considering his plans for tomorrow's game as the 16th-placed Valiants entertain an Oldham side who are four places above them.
Whitfield has started 12 games since joining the Valiants on a free from Bournemouth at the end of August, following his loan from the Cherries last season.
He looks certain to be under consideration after impressing the manager with his performance on the right of midfield.
Aspin said: "I thought he did excellently, he gave us a spark. I thought he was a bright spot. He is popular with a lot of people and, of course. if he plays like he did then I have no problem in picking him. I thought he did really well for us and he was unfortunate he didn't get a goal."
The Valiants are hopeful Cristian Montano will be available after he was forced to miss the Grimsby game through illness. The 27 year old had been playing as part of a front three but could also come into consideration at left back having done well in that position at the end of last season.
However, Aspin says defender Connell Rawlinson is unlikely to be fit for the Oldham game. The 27 year old centre half or right back has missed the last two matches with a heel injury.
Vale take on an Oldham side who were thumped 6-0 at Carlisle on Boxing Day having been beaten 3-2 at home to Exeter on Saturday. Those results came after six-game unbeaten run in the league.

Packed with unique and hand-built goodies, this Jeep aims to make a name for the oft-forgotten YJ.
In the hierarchy of Jeep Wranglers, the YJ might just be the most unappreciated of the bunch. But for many of us, it's also the model that got us hooked on Jeep in the first place. And truthfully, there's a ton of potential in this platform, even if there are others that are superior in the first place. For proof of that, look no further than the amazing ride featured in this video from BleepinJeep. If it isn't the coolest YJ we've ever seen, it's certainly the most unique.
For starters, this thing's packing a 6.2-liter Detroit diesel under the hood with a Cummins turbo. That oil burner is backed up by an NP35 transmission, and the whole thing features a host of parts the owner scrapped together from various places. Up front, you'll find a built Dana 60 axle. The steering setup is unique as well, with one ramp going to the knuckle and another going to the drag link. "The bigger the tires got, the harder it got to steer," the owner explains. So this custom setup provided a solid solution.
The rear axle is a 14-bolt the owner found in a junkyard on an old tow truck. The owner even welded on some tabs toward the bottom to protect the bolts, which is pretty cool. This Jeep rolls on some serious stuff too, including BAB beadlock wheels and massive 42-inch Pit Bull tires. And if all that isn't enough, the Jeep also sports a hydraulic system that can raise or lower the front end when needed.
All-in-all, one of the cooler and more unique Jeep YJs you'll ever see. And proof that we shouldn't sleep on this capable platform.

Delightful City Liverpool Report
The first digital event Engage has ever organised took place on Saturday 20th June 2020 in collaboration with residents in Leeds. We had tried to arrange for a 3 city event but our contacts in Edinburgh pulled out with only a week to go and so we transformed the series into a Trans-Pennine event with ideas of expanding it, should it be successful, to the M62 corridor and then further afield within the north of England.
Partnering with Wordscape in Liverpool and PlayfulAnywhere in Leeds we jointly organised an event on Zoom webinars and live-streamed it via YouTube and Facebook. Each city chose its own panellists and host for the evening and questions and comments were sent in throughout the event by those listening at home.
You can watch the event again here in the YouTube recording:
Our four panellists – all women – spoke for about 5mins to a question that had been suggested by the organisers in Leeds: 'What would it take for a post-Covid city to delight us?' They were all inspirational, surprising, creative, expansive, challenging and profoundly engaging. They were Jo Harrop, Michelle Charters, Clare Devaney and Erika Rushton.
It's been a week since 50 of us got together for our first chat about the idea of a post pandemic city delighting us. A lot of great conversation and lots of ideas to digest and mull over in this past week, during a time when cities across the UK are slowly opening up. A timely conversation, then.
The discussion at our first event brought together 4 women that do remarkable work in Liverpool, the city that was the focus of discussion for the evening.
Erika Rushton, a creative economist, discussed the possibility of the next big thing in cities being a thousand small things – micro enterprises and initiatives that are interlinked. This idea has been a feature of the work Erika has done over the years, as the Chair of Baltic Creative that has supported hundreds of creative and digital businesses and with the Beautiful Ideas Company, which supported a number of new social businesses in North Liverpool, many of which have gone on to support the founding of many more in the preceding years. Some of these businesses have gone on to do vital support work during the pandemic, offering a view of how business can, and arguably should, respond to serve their communities in times of crisis.
Michelle Charters, Chief Executive of the Kuumba Imani Millennium Centre, spoke of her community creating online support groups to ensure that they could look after one another safely during the pandemic and how the community of residents, businesses and public leaders rallied around this. She also spoke about equality, how this pandemic has disproportionally effected people of colour, and how all of the communities of the city came together to march for the black lives matter campaign and to demand equality of justice and opportunity in society and an end to racism. An unequal city isn't a delightful city.
Jo Harrop, kicked off a conversation about the 15 minute city, and how delightful it would be for all citizens to be able to access all of their needs, including leisure and access to green space, within 15 minutes of their dwelling. This kicked off a conversation in the chat about the reduction in cars on the road during the pandemic and the benefits to the natural environment of walking and cycling and how delightful our spaces feel without the roar of engines around us. Has everyone heard more bird song in the past 4 months, or is it just me?
Clare Devaney, CEO of Citizen-I Ltd, talked about daring to dream despite the difficulties of finding delight during the public health crisis and about finding delight in the small things. Clare discussed how she, like many, has brought nature into our homes during lockdown, and her hopes that the city blooms through community led activity in public spaces and high-streets. How do we ensure that all of the community have agency to create the type of spaces the want?
A lot to think about certainly, and a lot of hope for things that we'd like to take forward into post pandemic Liverpool.
This evening (Saturday 27th June) we're hearing from Leeds and by the looks of things we're going to hear a set of fresh ideas. Will there be common visions for post pandemic Liverpool and Leeds? What uniquely delightful ideas will there be from the community in Leeds that could inspire action in your city? Come along to find out.
Some of the reactions to the event last week (Saturday 20th June) from our Feedback Forms show just how much participants enjoyed it:
The panel was extremely empowering and inspiring to listen to. It was fantastic to see a female heavy panel that was also diverse and inclusive.
Thought the panel were great, big focus on value in the people already in the city; listen, learn, improve, respect, collaboration not competition, economic power in the community not the developers, and a local authority that supports local communities not dictates, embrace the differences, bring them out don't change them, recognise the innovation and opportunities they can bring. The panel were residents and knew the city well and that was reflected well in the things they said. If they are involved in the city and its future then it may well become a delightful place for all of its community members.
Thank you for a thought provoking session. Lovely to see you all albeit remotely!
Thank you so much for offering this opportunity. Feeling positive and inspired. Great sharing of ideas. Some great collaboration opportunities across the pennines.
Some powerful issues discussed this evening. Thank you.
Brilliant work from everyone: both organisers and invited speakers! Keep it up!
I found the event really interesting and positive!
Really enjoyed the session. Can't join the Leeds date but look forward to future sessions.
Great speakers.Know times tight just nice to have a few questions. Great to link Liverpool and Leeds.
This was a fantastic event. Great panel. Thanks.
I'm in London but from Liverpool. It's really good to hear a non London discussion of what's happening elsewhere while visiting isn't possible.
You rocked it, well done all.
There were no negative comments.

"A Day in the Life" with Toronto contemporary artist Anthony Ricciardi
May 12, 2018 Joel Levy Artist Profiles, Arts
Toronto-born and internationally-acclaimed, Anthony Ricciardi is a multidisciplinary contemporary artist driven by enthusiasm, depth and storytelling through unique text and deconstructed compositions. His works are emotion-evoking explosions of colour orchestrated in uncommon forms. From canvas paintings, large-scale murals, furniture installations and fashion art — Ricciardi's art has no limits, even though he's clinically colourblind.
After leaving the comforts and clout of the corporate finance world to pursue his true passion and lifelong dream, the self-taught creator induces a flair for inventive colour-mixing and layered creations to elicit memorable reaction.
Ricciardi's highly sought after limited-edition artwork and private commission murals have been shown worldwide in Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Brazil, Miami and London. He collaborates with high-profile personalities and celebrities, and most recently facilitated an exclusive solo art show and gallery in one of North America's most prestigious destinations.

What 'hood are you in?
I grew up in Toronto's west end but have always had an international mindset 🙂
Following a former career in the commercial real estate space as a financial analyst, I decided to pursue my passion as an artist. I create mixed-media contemporary art pieces with the goal of evoking emotion through recognizable and unexpected imagery, layered depth and script that is inspirational. Most of my pieces are a multi-dimensional expression that combines vintage articles and imagery that blends old with new world street and graffiti style art.
What are you currently working on?
I just launched my exclusive floating solo show at the stunning Yorkville Village. I am super grateful for the partnership with such a prestigious destination that many of my collectors frequent. I'm working on some interesting collaboration opportunities along with doing a few large scale murals in New York, Los Angeles and Manchester, London in May. The Dust of Gods wearable art / fashion line @dustofgods in partnership with Antonio Tadrissi is expanding rapidly in markets such as Asia and we're excited to continue to grow the brand internationally.
Where can we find your work?
Yorkville Village until May 29th, Yorkdale "Less Isn't More" Art Gallery, Yorkdale Shopping Centre until August 31st or by contacting us through our website www.ricciardipaints.com and instagram @ricciardipaints.

I think Shimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan's work is incredibly important and groundbreaking, so I fully support their campaign for Verso and the London Review of Books to recognize their work was plagiarized.
Until recently, the purpose of the US-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq seemed hardly in doubt. Thinkers on both the right and the left tended to agree that these invasions were meant to stabilize the Middle East and ascertain the free flow of cheap oil. Events on the ground now suggest that this purpose has failed. The region appears to be growing more unstable by the day. The threat of unconventional weapons, instead of abating, seems to increase. And the price of oil is anything but cheap. It is very expensive and it keeps rising. Most experts explain these adverse developments by invoking the "mistake theory" of history. It is Barbara Tuchman's March of Folly all over again. The Bush administration, goes the argument, failed to understand the intricate realities of the Middle East and the broader ramifications of unilateral action. It overestimated its own military prowess and underestimated that of its opponents. It adopted the wrong strategy and used misguided tactics. No wonder it failed. But has it really failed? Over the past year, some observers have begun to question this conventional creed. Perhaps the invasions were not meant to stabilize the Middle East in the first place? Maybe the intention was exactly the opposite -- that is, to make the region less stable? Perhaps the goal was never to lower the price of oil -- but on the contrary, to make it go up? What groups benefit from a more unstable Middle East? Who stand to gain from a protracted "energy crisis"? To what extent have these groups been involved in instigating and propagating the recent regional bellicosity? These contrarian questions have been raised and answered with much fanfare by a group of radical writers and activists -- Iain Boal, T.J. Clark, Joseph Matthews and Michael Watts -- identified by the collective name "Retort."
In June 2005, Retort published a book titled Afflicted Powers with Verso. A shortened version of the main chapter -- titled "Blood for Oil?" -- was pre-published in the April 21 issue of The London Review of Books. In these works, the authors challenge the conventional wisdom and claim to advance a new explanation for the recent Middle East wars. Much of their explanation -- including both theory and fact -- is plagiarized. It is cut and pasted, almost "as is," from our work.
The primary source is "The Weapondollar-Petrodollar Coalition," a 71-page chapter in our book, The Global Political Economy of Israel (Pluto 2002). The Retort authors also seem inspired, incognito, by our more recent papers, including "It's All About Oil" (2003), "Clash of Civilization, or Capital Accumulation?" (2004), "Beyond Neoliberalism" (2004) and "Dominant Capital and the New Wars" (2004).
In their London Review of Books article, the authors credit us for having coined the term "Weapondollar-Petrodollar Coalition" -- but dismiss our "precise calibration of the oil/war nexus" as "perfunctory." This dismissal does not prevent them from freely appropriating, wholesale fashion, our concepts, ideas and theories -- including, among others, the "era of free flow," the "era of limited flow," "energy conflicts," the "commercialization of arms exports," the "politicization of oil" and the critique of the "scarcity thesis." Nowhere in their article do the authors mention the source of these concepts, ideas and theories; occasionally, they even introduce them with the prefix Our view is. . . . Their treatment of facts is not very different. They freely use (sometimes without understanding) research methods, statistics and data that took us years to conceive, estimate and measure -- again, never mentioning the source. The same dispossession, with some additions and deletions, appears in Afflicted Powers.
Incidentally, Nitzan and Bichler are signatories to a recent letter to Kofi Annan by the Israeli Committee for a Middle East Free from Atomic, Biological & Chemical Weapons.
Update: More about Verso at the Angry Arab.


Last weekend while driving on a back country road, I spied this old trailer. Needless to day, I informed my husband I wanted to return to the spot after our hike so I could shoot it for my Pink Saturday post . Even though it is in terrible disrepair, I think the old trailer is pretty cool and funky.
That is an interesting trailer. I have not seen one designed just that way. The pink trim just set it off. Shame it is not being used.
Still dashing now, how wonderful it must have looked new. Great post. Happy Pink Saturday.
The trailer looked big, and wonderful in that setting! Have a great weekend, Genie..
When I see things like this I can't help but think about the life that went on in there. Someone has good memories and probaly bad memories. At one time this was someone's home...and now it just looks sad! I'm loving the pink shades and shutters...kinda gives you a glimpse into what the inside must have been like! I think this is probably my favorite PS post by far!!
Aww, the person that must have lived there once, must have fancied Pink! It's a sweet photo for sure!
This was a wonderful pink find! Don't you wonder about who lived there once? I've often whizzed by something pink while in my car and wished I ahd my camera with me to take a photo of it.
It's hard to believe Christmas is only 41 days away ..ack... I better begin shopping!
HI Genie - this reminds me of your other post I loved so much...the pink cadillac you came across.
This is a very interesting photograph...is this out in the woods...was the trailer abandoned? It makes you wonder what happened to the owners!! Thanks for sharing.
Awww, it's such a shame that someone let that place fall into disrepair, because it's got so much cuteness potential! Add a little porch, dress up the doorway, add a picket fence, and it could be so sweet!
Many years ago I lived in a pink trailer (mobile Home) similar to that one. It was cool. Happy Pink Saturday.


Quantum plasmonics is a very rapidly developing field that emerged recently at the border of two fields, both rich in fundamental physics and highly innovative in technology: quantum optics and plasmonics (the latter can also be viewed as nanophotonics of metal structures). Nanophotonics concerns with the interaction of nanostructures with light, thereby aiming at providing photonic capabilities at smaller length scales and lower energy requirements. But even more importantly, nanophotonics also aims at engineering the light–matter interaction at unprecedented high strengths and/or subwavelength spatial resolutions. The latter usually involves the use of metals as these support surface electromagnetic modes (known as surface plasmons), which are confined to metal surfaces within subwavelength distances. In the last fifteen years, studies in what became known as "plasmonics" have been concentrated on plasmonic circuits (composed of subwavelength-sized waveguides and waveguide components), optical antennas (as efficient transducers between the far- and nearfield wave components, squeezing in volume and boosting up in strength local fields), and surface-enhanced spectroscopic techniques (as "surface plasmon resonance sensing" and "surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy"), with implications to diverse fields including photonics, optoelectronics, material science, bio-imaging, medicine, and energy.

Crime Terror Nexus
The project examined the nature and severity of the threat posed by the crime-terror nexus across Europe and the capacity of state actors, along with non-governmental organisations and frontline practitioners, to deal with this challenge, and looked at ten case studies: Albania, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The findings were pulbished in "Guns and Glory: Criminality, imprisonment and jihadist extremism in Europe" and launched at a high-level conference in Brussels on 24 September 2019.
This project looks at the evolving relationship between terrorism and crime, which poses a significant challenge to Europe, with the activities and milieu of terrorists and criminals increasingly overlapping and reinforcing each other. Many of today's European jihadists, including those who have perpetrated terrorist attacks, and foreign terrorist fighters have a criminal record, having already spent time in prison. Criminals have been particularly attractive candidates for recruitment into jihad by the so-called Islamic State (ISIS), as they have important skill sets and useful broader criminal connections. These skills have been used to facilitate terrorist attacks, including helping to finance operations, smuggling operatives, procuring arms, and obtaining forged documents.

Ohio grandfather with gun stops intruder: 'They picked the wrong house'
FOX NEWS - An Ohio grandfather with a loaded gun stopped a burglar who broke into his home on Tuesday, according to a local report.
Daniel McGown, 73, said he found an intruder in his Akron home and held him at gunpoint until police arrived.
"They picked the wrong house," McGown told WEWS-TV.
McGown, a retired attorney, said he heard someone ring his doorbell several times around 5:15 a.m., then heard someone yelling from inside his house soon after.
McGown said he grabbed his 9mm pistol from under his pillow and found a man, identified by investigators as Thomas Gaffney, 51, in his living room.
"I pointed the pistol at him and said, 'If you don't move, I won't shoot you,'" McGown said. He then realized he'd left his cellphone upstairs so he ordered Gaffney to walk up to the bedroom with him.
"I told him, 'you're going to walk ahead of me and we're going to go upstairs where I can get my cellphone and call the police,' and he said, 'Please do call the police. Please don't shoot me,'" McGown said.
"I told him to get down on his knees in front of the bed and lay down on it with his arms out, and I called the police and they showed up, and there he was."
McGown told WEWS his house had been broken into a few days earlier when he was out of town. He said Guns, ammunition and laptops were stolen and disassembled televisions were left behind.
Akron police said they were investigating whether Gaffney was connected to the first burglary.
"If he had reached his hand towards a pocket or something where I thought that he might have had one of the guns that went away last night or the night before, then I might have been tempted to do that," said McGown, who reportedly has a concealed-carry permit.
"My home was being violated and here was a guy doing it in my presence," he added. "Here's the guy, and I just wanted to make him stop doing that."
Gaffney has been charged with burglary and possession of drug paraphernalia.
