Check out this really nice photo montage on the Daily News website in honor of the 100th year of the Yellow Taxi in New York City. Well done, especially if you don't mind (or don't listen to) the slightly cheesy "smooth jazz" soundtrack. My favorite photo is the third one, which appears to be from the 1960s or early '70s, of a sea of taxis coming through a toll booth. My best guess is that this photo was taken on the Queens side of the midtown tunnel, but it might be the Lincoln. It would take a bigger dork than me to be sure.
"work included successful representation of Republican party in election lawsuit; defense of faith-based health care program"
"work included defense against class action suit demanding slavery reparations"
"Yale Law Christian Fellowship" Board of Directors"
"Westville Bible Chapel: Sunday School teacher"
Who puts Sunday school teacher on their resume?? Unless of course you're a relatively inexperienced 33 y.o. lawyer hoping for a job as a US Attorney in the Bush administration. And what exactly is a "faith-based health care program"? That's just plain bizarre, although when you think about it, faith and hope are about the only health care programs available to a large proportion of Americans. And think of the money we could save if we had a faith based military instead of that expensive, fully equipped one languishing in Iraq. This could be a cool new trend! Faith-based stop lights! Faith-based immunizations! Faith-based air traffic control! The sky truly is the limit.
It should be noted that since 1947, while we have used our military power for political and military gain in a long list of countries, in no instance has democractic government come about as a result. In some important cases, on the other hand, democracy has developed in opposition to our interference - for example, after the collapse of the regime of the CIA-installed Greek colonels in 1974; after the demise of the U.S.-supported fascist dictatorships in Portugal in 1974 and Spain in 1975; after the overthrow of Ferdinand Marcos in the Phillipines in 1986; after the ouster of General Chun Doo-Hwan in South Korea in 1987; and after the ending of the thirty-eight years of martial law on the island of Taiwan in the same year. The United States holds the unenviable record of having helped install and then supported such dictators as the Shah of Iran, General Suharto in Indonesia, Fulgencio Batista in Cuba, Anastasio Somoza in Nicaragua, Augusto Pinochet in Chile, and Sese Seko Mobutu in Congo/Zaire, not to mention the series of American-backed militarists in South Vietnam and Cambodia until we were finally expelled from Indochina. In addition, for decades we ran one of the most extensive international terrorist operations in history again Cuba and Nicaragua because their struggles for national independence had produced outcomes that we did not like.
How many Americans could tell you a single thing about the activities of the US in any of the countries named above, with the exception of perhaps Vietnam? And how many high school history classes have ever mentioned the fact that the US was a state sponsor of extensive, profoundly illegal, terrorist operations against Cuba and Nicaragua (to say nothing of many other instances around the world) over the last few decades, under our own noses? The facts are not in dispute. Neither are the interpretations. And yet the mythology about the US being the engine for democracy, peace, and freedom around the world is undented, at least in this country. Read the book. Please.
The U.S. Navy has said its aim is to remove Somali pirates from two foreign-flagged cargo ships it is monitoring off Somalia's coast, as one of the ship's captain reported that his crew was being treated well by the pirates.
The U.S. Navy engaged the North Korean and Japan-owned ships in recent days off Somalia's coast, at one point firing to destroy pirate skiffs tied to the Japanese boat.
So the US military is attacking pirates off the coast of Africa to help out North Korean and Japanese ships. Someone please tell me what business the US has being involved in this at all? It just goes to show that if you build a giant military machine, you end up using it no matter what, in places and circumstances (Iraq? Panama? Vietnam?) that defy logic and ultimately challenge the basic foundations of a democratic system.


It's not in a galaxy far, far away but Disney is promising an out of this world experience at its upcoming "Star Wars" themed lands.
In April, the park celebrated the official groundbreaking of the 14-acre expansion in Anaheim, Calif. Now, fans can take a sneak peek at one of the resort's first official renderings of the new park.
"Look closely and you may find hints of some of the thrilling experiences that are coming – like the Millennium Falcon peeking out of one of the cargo bays, marking the location where guests will get the opportunity to pilot the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy," Disney noted on its official blog.
Crews have already cleared the land on the site that once was home to Big Thunder Central, to make way for wookies, Storm Troopers, Millennium Falcon replicas and more.
Disney has yet to announce an official opening date for the "Star Wars" themed land but it is the largest ever single themed land expansion at the Disneyland property.

New York City's genetic diversity makes it a great place to tailor healthcare to the individual.
The genetic makeup of New York City is a vast web of stories and relationships—migrations, couplings, clusterings, undetected syndromes, and bodily boons. That's what makes the city an incredible laboratory for the next frontier of healthcare: medicine tailored to you and your genes.
So says Eimear Kenny, professor and genetic researcher at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Kenny and PhD candidate Gillian Belbin study neighborhood-level human movement patterns across New York City, using, among other things, the genetic samples of 32,000 New Yorkers.
These Big Apple residents all volunteered their anonymized genetic information and health records to the ISMMS's BioMe Bank. Close to 35 percent of them were born outside the U.S., from roughly 130 different countries. Individuals self-described their ancestry, ethnicity, and gave their current zip code for the bank's records, too.
Within all this data, Kenny and Belbin look for (and map) distinct patterns in the genes: Who settled in what neighborhood? Whose relative moved where? Whose parents come from different ethnicities?
Within the BioMe sample, Kenny and Belbin have defined 10 distinct ancestral "groups," where members are more related to one another than to other New Yorkers. Kenny compares them to "cities within the city," since in many cases, they clump within particular neighborhoods in New York City. Individuals of Puerto Rican descent, for example, cluster in East Harlem and South Bronx.
"You don't need genetic data to know this, but it helps us confirm that these communities capture populations that are similar," says Kenny.
"If we'd lumped everyone together into 'Hispanic,' we probably wouldn't have been able to see this," says Kenny.
That's especially helpful when it comes to defining genes that pose risks. Individuals in the Puerto Rican group, for example, were found to be more likely than others to have Steel syndrome, a musculoskeletal condition that often goes undiagnosed. Kenny and Belbin isolated the gene that causes the syndrome—a specific variant for Puerto Ricans.
High-resolution genetic analysis of this kind can lead to better outcomes at the doctor's office. Patients of particular ancestries, and particular communities, can get screened for conditions for which they may be at risk. That could lead to more effective treatment than if they were retroactively diagnosed.
It's all a way of tailoring health care to the individual, or what's called "precision medicine," which President Obama has called a chance for huge breakthroughs in the quest for healthier lives.
According to Kenny and Belbin, who presented their findings at the American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting this month, the range and depth of genetic compositions within cities make them the ideal place for researchers and doctors to start fine-tuning their care.

GPS Makers Sued By Investors In Failed Bid To Build Wireless Network
Investors filed a $1.9 billion lawsuit against three GPS receiver manufacturers, including Garmin International, over LightSquared, a now bankrupt company that still hopes to build a wireless broadband network across the United States.
The investors, led by Harbinger Capital Partners, are seeking compensation for losses incurred when the Federal Communications Commission denied LightSquared permission to build a wholesale mobile satellite communications network.
The suit, filed Friday, alleges that Garmin International, Deere & Co. and Trimble Navigation, plus the U.S. GPS Industry Council and the Coalition to Save Our GPS, are liable for failing to warn investors about the problems that have forced a halt to the project.
The filing argues that GPS manufacturers knew of plans to use the frequencies in question for a ground-based network, but did not tell the investors the network would overload receivers, irreparably hampering GPS service, according to a report by Inside GNSS, which reports on the communications industry.
The plaintiffs also argue that GPS manufacturers were effectively designing their devices to improperly use spectrum owned by LightSquared — creating a problem with no practical solution once thousands of legacy GPS receivers were in place, according to the report.
Had they been informed of these problems, the plaintiffs argue, they "never would have incurred these costs or made their subsequent investments in the new network."
LightSquared, based in Reston, Va., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May 2012 after failing to reach a debt restructuring deal with its creditors. LightSquared listed assets of $4.48 billion and debt of $2.29 billion in its filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.
A coalition of businesses reliant on GPS and leading manufacturers of GPS equipment known as theGPS Innovation Alliance, which declares itself to be the voice of the U.S. GPS industry, has since replaced both the U.S. GPS Industry Council and the Coalition to Save Our GPS, which were established in March 2011 in response to a conditional waiver the FCC granted to LightSquared.

3 Female Managers Win Discrimination Suit Against Chipotle; Congratulations to My Queens
Jia Tolentino
Filed to: chipotleFiled to: chipotle
an air bud type of situation
On Monday, according to WLWT, three former managers at a Cincinnati-area Chipotle won a gender discrimination lawsuit against the company, which is really having a banner year.
A federal jury ruled that Stephanie Ochoa, Tina Reynolds and Elizabeth Rogers had been discriminated against as well as fired because of their gender; each of the women was awarded nearly $200,000.
The women argued that they were held to different standards than male general managers.
"We put everything into Chipotle," former Chipotle general manager Tina Reynolds said.
You know, I unfortunately don't even work at Chipotle—but, to both of those statements, same.
More, via WLWT:
The women said the hiring of a new manager was the beginning of their problems.
"I had made a complaint to the team leader about some things that were going on that I wasn't comfortable with and wasn't happy with," Ochoa said. "From that time on, my career at Chipotle just kept getting harder and harder."
Reynolds said she was held to a different standard. [...] Her male counterparts who were getting worse audits weren't reprimanded, while she was fired.
"Why am I being treated like this when I am doing a great job?" Reynolds said.
Seven female general managers at Cincinnati-area stores had similar complaints.
The attorney for this case, Kelly Myers, cites "egregious" comments made by the area manager who terminated the three women: that there was too much estrogen in the store, that there were too many overweight women. The manager had not received EEOC training, she alleged in the trial.
Chipotle has denied this, and filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit in 2013, but you know, women are like E. coli—eventually, they'll win.

It has been so long since I have been able to participate in the Thrift Store Upcycle Challenge. I really have missed it. What is the Thrift Store Upcycle Challenge you ask? Well, just a whole lot of inspiration from 25 bloggers for taking an old treasure you may have found at a thrift store, garage or yard sale, or in my case a brass and mirror candle wall sconce from a friend who was "de-junking" before it even got to the thrift store, and turning it into something fresh and new! You will find my Upcycle project and links to all 25 others below!
This post contains affiliate links which provides you an easy way to find the products I used for this project. *See full disclosure below!
And without further adieu check out what I did with this candle wall sconce to make it a bit more modern and functional for our home!
When I first looked at this heavy, ornate, brass mirrored candle wall sconce I actually was going to pass. Completely not my taste. First of all it was brass. Don't hate me, but I really am not a big fan of brass.
Secondly, since we live in a little house I try to be purposeful about what I put in it, even if it is free. But, when I got to thinking about it, I did need a mirror and a place to hang dog leashes, my purse, and other miscellaneous hangy things near the back door.
I happened to have a tiny bottle of Fusion Mineral Paint (and I mean tiny) that I wanted to try out, and what better way to put it to the test than to paint over brass.
The mirror looked terribly cloudy on first glance, but it turns out it was just really dusty and dirty. A bit of glass cleaner and it was shiny again. I taped off the mirror and got to work on painting. Two light coats is all it took to completely cover the entire frame.
After it was completely dry I really didn't mind the ornate pattern so much as I did when it was brass. I did want to soften the look though, and decided to highlight the pattern using Liming Wax.
When you using liming wax, use a very light touch. I have an old paint brush just for this purpose. I just run it through the tin of wax and gently brush of excess on a piece of paper. Using a light wispy stroke, bush over the areas that you want highlighted. Finish by gently rubbing off excess with a soft cloth.
I used this technique over chalkboard paint on this old thrift store lamp, and it is one of my favorite projects.
I was afraid that I didn't have enough of the paint for the job. Turns out I was wrong. I still have half the tiny bottle left after giving this wall sconce two coats!
I didn't want to just leave the candle holders empty so I used two crystal draw pulls (similar) I had, and just used Gorilla Glue to hold them in place.
Now, instead of a gaudy brass mirrored wall scone, I have myself a mini "hall tree" where I can coral my purse, dog leashes, scarves or even a bunch of roses in need of drying!
I am really glad I decided to take this off Leslie's hands! She really does have some of the neatest things, many that have been picked up at yard sales, auctions and thrift stores. If you want a glimpse of decorating with thrifted finds, check out this room and this room that I remodeled for her.
And don't forget to check out all the thrift store upcycle challenge links below!
Great transformation, although I love the original brass as well. Perfect organizing piece. Visiting from Thrift Store Challenge.
Thank you Victoria! It is nice to have this extra space to keep things organized by the door!
I love that you turned it into an organization piece! Now you have a beautiful piece of decor that helps rein in your stuff. Brilliant!
Wow, great update and it looks like it fits perfectly in your hallway. I didn't realize in the before pics that it was so large or had hooks for holding items. I've had a few brass pieces but I'm not one to polish and keep then looking really shiny so I think you were smart to paint it. It's gorgeous now.
I love that you turned a sconce into a place to hang your purse and leashes. Great idea! I really want to try that liming wax technique, it looks so cool!
Maureen, that is the most gorgeous mirror now! Love the black & how the liming wax brings it out. I love things that are moderately ornate & this is right up my alley. Aren't you glad you didn't pass?
This looks great. What a great idea to have by the door. The black is perfect for it!
I love how you repurposed it to a functional piece. The liming wax really brought out the details. It is a great looking piece.
This is so pretty and I love the unique style this gives to an entryway. I absolutely adore that you are now using it as a place to hang your purse and other hall items. It looks to elegant and chic.
This is such a cool makeover!! I love the color and the gorgeous knobs!

Tim McGraw Assures Fans He's 'Hydrating' in Funny Photo
Tim McGraw gave fans quite a scare collapsing on stage earlier this month in Ireland; an incident he and his wife, Faith Hill, attributed to dehydration, as well as a little bit too much stress and air travel.
Thankfully the 50-year-old singer appears to be taking some apparently much-needed time off, as well as using this break to show off his irreverent sense of humor.
On social media Mar. 19, McGraw posted a shot of himself indulging in one of his favorite activities, spearfishing, in a lovely underwater shot.
"Hydrating," he wryly captioned the photo.
Let's hope he's actually drinking some potable water, as well as soaking up all that restful Vitamin Sea.
McGraw and Hill own a sweet dream-escape home in the Bahamas, which they escape to often, and this is likely where he is recuperating from his touring schedule. In 2017, McGraw posted numerous photos of his fishing catches, cliff dives, and various other vacation activities, all earning scads of fan accolades for his trim physique (in swimwear, of course!).
McGraw made headlines Mar. 11 when he dropped to his knees in front of a Dublin crowd following a performance of his hit song "Humble and Kind."

After a lengthy break, Hill and the couple's band returned to the stage to explain what happened, adding that it was her decision not to allow McGraw to return to the stage. The couple now have a nice long vacation from performing live, before they will resume their Soul2Soul Tour in Richmond, Va. on May 31.

Der Rio Taquara ist ein etwa 41 km langer rechter Nebenfluss des Rio Ivaí im Nordwesten des brasilianischen Bundesstaats Paraná.

Etymologie
Taquara ist der Tupi-Begriff für Bambus beziehungsweise bambusähnliche Pflanzen, die in ganz Brasilien verbreitet vorkommen. Der Name wird häufig für Flüsse und auch für Ortschaften verwendet.

Geografie

Lage
Das Einzugsgebiet des Rio Taquara befindet sich auf dem Terceiro Planalto Paranaense (Dritte oder Guarapuava-Hochebene von Paraná).

Verlauf

Sein Quellgebiet liegt im Munizip Loanda auf 432 m Meereshöhe etwa 4 km östlich der Stadtmitte an der PR-182.

Der Fluss verläuft in südlicher Richtung. Etwa 15 km südlich seines Ursprungs verlässt er das Munizipgebiet von Loanda und bildet für den Rest seines Laufs die Grenze zwischen den beiden Munizipien Santa Isabel do Ivaí und Santa Mônica. Er mündet auf 240 m Höhe von rechts in den Rio Ivaí. Er ist etwa 41 km lang.

Munizipien im Einzugsgebiet
Am Rio Taquara liegen die drei Munizipien Loanda, Santa Mônica und Santa Isabel do Ivaí.

1. In medical terms, a sound that can be likened to the call of a goose.
2. Sometimes specifically used to denote a sound of laryngeal origin made by vocal cords vibrating in a forced expiration because of a congenital vascular ring compressing the trachea.
As soon as I hear the honk behind me, I invariably step on the gas angrily.
A Canada goose, a real one, honks, then honks, then honks some more.
Which honks almost immediately afterwards and ranks as second bird.
The next time someone honks at you when you're three microseconds late in responding to a green light, or a car swerves in front of you because you overtook it three miles before, don't get upset.
With the advent of guns as a common American amenity, the risk of aggressive driving has escalated from a honk to a bullet.

Meet Katie Barrett, Symbol of Effort to Elect More Colorado Women
Layoffs Loom Over iHeart Radio Stations in Denver
Is it too soon to jump back on the Rockies' bandwagon?
Michael Roberts | June 9, 2009 | 8:45am
Just when it looked like the Colorado Rockies were well on their way to redefining the word "pitiful," the team has done the seemingly impossible: won five games in a row, including yesterday's 5-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. But before you start digging out your 2007 World Series gear, get some perspective from the reliable Purple Row blog. In a piece previewing the start of the Major League Baseball draft, the scribe who writes as Poseidon's Fist (hope he doesn't get capsized) offers a couple of reasons to temper overenthusiasm. Point one: "The last five games have been played at a ridiculously unsustainable level. Less sustainable than the giant pile of suck that was April and May." Point two: There are currently ten National League teams in front of the Rockies, and just two behind -- the Arizona Diamondbacks, who trail by just half a game, and the epically pathetic Washington Nationals, who've managed just fifteen Ws this season. In the end, PF concludes, "Enjoy the hot streak, just don't set yourself up to get your heart broken."
Good advice -- especially when it comes to the Rockies.

February might be for Valentines but we've got April Love! This is a gentle photo challenge to ease us through the change in seasons (wherever you are in the world) and bring some creative mindfulness to our days. There are no emails and no pressure to keep up. You can get involved as much or as little as you want. Take photos every day or just dip in at weekends. Share your photos in the Facebook group, on Instagram or just keep them for yourself. There are no rules.
I've created a list of photo prompts to be explored throughout the month, a mix of straightforward things-to-shoot and a few more thoughtful prompts, so if you're not sure how to illustrate the latter try simply sharing a moment from your day. Use the challenge as a way to give yourself ten minutes to notice your surroundings and take a breath. Keep it simple. Enjoy digging into your world with your camera and maybe spend a bit of time in your journal, too. Or not! Again I say: there really are no rules.

Police: Man fatally shot in South Side attack
By William Lee
A gunman sprang from a passing vehicle and fatally shot a young man Monday afternoon on the city's South Side, Chicago police said.
The shooting — the first in the city during a 19-hour period starting Sunday afternoon — happened just before 4:30 p.m. in the 7700 block of South Sangamon Street in the Gresham neighborhood, police said, citing preliminary information.
The 28-year-old victim was standing on the sidewalk when a passenger inside a dark-colored SUV got out of the vehicle and fired numerous shots at the man before fleeing north on Sangamon, according to police.
The victim was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. A spokeswoman for the Cook County medical examiner's office couldn't immediately confirm the man's death.
Authorities didn't release a description of the gunman or offer a suspected motive for the shooting as Area South detectives were getting their investigation underway.
No arrests had been made, police said.
Less than a mile away, a man was seriously injured in a shooting around 8:10 p.m. in the same neighborhood, police said.
The 22-year-old man was getting out of a vehicle in the 8400 block of South Morgan Street when someone jumped out of a dark-colored vehicle and fired shots, hitting him in the back.
The man was in serious condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

Bring your iPhone to Perfection with the Best 10 Jailbreaks
Comments Off on Bring your iPhone to Perfection with the Best 10 Jailbreaks
Jailbreak, Unlock iPhone, unlock iphone 3gs, unlock iphone 4, unlock iphone 5
The iPhone's creation in 2007 sparked off a revolution that completely changed the way that people see smart phones and it has begun a trend that is increasing with every passing day into a huge tidal wave. Wherever one looks, it is impossible not to see people toting around smart phones whether they be Apple or Android.
However, despite this booming success, the iPhone does have its pitfalls which are often small issues but these issues combine to become a nuisance and it is here that jailbreaking enters the scene. Almost as old as the Apple phone, jailbreaking is used by the majority of smart phone owners to customize their devices by smoothing over the problems they encounter. Still, there are those who use jailbreaking to use apps without payment, most make use of it for the right purposes.
So, with that in mind, below is a list of the best 10 Jailbreaks that one can find available at the moment to take the iPhone user experience to the next level. It is true that at some time in the future many of the names on the list will soon become obsolete but for the present, they are indispensable. Without further ado, let us begin:
1. Auxo
This particular tweak performs the unique function of giving the user a snapshot or freeze-frame of the state of apps located in the app switcher. In addition to this, it allows the user to remove apps and place toggles for commonly used options like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi all with the swipe of a finger. To increase its functionality even further, there is also a press and hold button to instantly kill all apps. In short, this is one of the first tweaks to make use of.
2. biteSMS
The default Message app for the iPhone is very sadly lacking and clunky in design which is no surprise as it has been there since the device's inception. The tweak biteSMS, works on all its shortcomings to produce an enjoyable and easy to use messaging experience. When making use of this tweak, the user can see the contact picture of the person they're messaging as well provide quick and fast messaging. One can reply to a message or compose one all from the Notification Centre without needing to go all the way to the Home page and opening the app. Its functionality is indeed unparalleled in this area and is a must have.
3. CallBar
Similar to its cousin the Messages app, the Phone app is also in a very sorry state and is a source of much frustration for many Apple users. CallBar comes to the rescue as it provides a phone dial in an easy to access manner from literally anywhere regardless of what the user is doing. As a result, one doesn't need to drop everything, go to the home screen and enter the phone number just to make a call.
Even incoming calls don't interrupt the user as one can receive or reject calls with a simple touch, making this particular tweak indispensable.
4. CleverPin
Ensuring one's privacy is a must but constantly having to enter a password can become a real pain. CleverPin solves this problem, as it can be customized to disable the password in certain situations. These include while at home like when the device is connected to the house Wi-Fi, when the phone is in airplane mode, while listening to music or even for a certain time period. The possibilities are endless and can be changed to suit one's needs.
5. NCSettings
The great thing about this tweak is that it gives the user access to a certain number of toggles that can be pressed to change features on one's phone within a heartbeat. It is extremely functional as it both saves time as well as providing a great amount of ease of use. For those looking to make their lives much easier, this app will be a very attractive prospect.
6. Zephyr
Zephyr is one of the main reasons that people begin jailbreaking in the first place as it allows the user to make use of a great convenience, which is controlling the phone through the use of swipes. This may seem very simple at first but it is only through actually using it that one understands how vital it is to reaching that perfect iPhone experience.
7. Springtomize 2
Making the iPhone look exactly how one wants it is something that many Apple phone users crave beyond all else and this can be only be made possible through this tweak. It allows the user to customize their looks in any way possible with the different display options available allowing the user to unchain their imagination and come up with something stunning. It even happens to allow the user to disable certain select jailbreak tweaks making it a must have.
8. iFile
If one happens to be used to working around computers all day then this tweak will be very attractive as it gives the phone a PC like feel through its various features. It can allow the user to perform actions that can only be performed on a computer and these include installing files, zipping and unzipping, copying and pasting files, viewing file properties and even creating new folders!
9. PasswordPilot
The job of this app is very simple and easy to understand. It simply encrypts and stores the user's App Store password so that it isn't necessary to re-enter the password every time one makes a purchase in the App Store. This isn't an option for those who leave their device with others unattended but for everyone else, it's a breath of fresh air.
10. SwipeSelection
For those who spend a large chunk of their time entering text on their phones, this tweak is an absolute lifesaver. Many must have experienced the frustration and annoyance felt when trying to highlight just the right amount of text to be cut or replaced. Well, this particular tweak fixes this issue in the simplest manner possible saving many the maddening urge to pull one's hair out when selecting a portion of text.
At the end of the day, these tweaks bring a huge amount of quality of life changes that simply put, cannot be ignored. Although they may cost some people a fair amount of cash, they are still very much worth that hard earned money as they make using the iPhone a breeze. With this tweaks in your armoury, using the Apple phone will be a seamless experience without compare.
I hope you have enjoyed knowing the Best 10 Jailbreaks. Please remember to comment!

With the exception of news media, any person or company wishing to access Whistler municipal property for the purposes of commercial photography, video, film and television—including documentaries—must obtain a film permit from the RMOW.
The RMOW asks that producers, directors or photographers first consider their location needs to make the permit application process as efficient as possible. Read filming guidelines, including location information.
Download the film permit application or complete the application online.
Pay the $125 non-refundable application fee. Payments can be made by Visa, MasterCard, debit, cheque, or cash at the Whistler Municipal Hall (4325 Blackcomb Way) or by phone 604-935-8130.
All of this information is necessary to assess the film permit application to ensure that it complies with municipal bylaws.
Once the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) receives a completed film permit application, the request is assessed internally to make sure it conforms with municipal bylaws and safety considerations.
The RMOW requires proof of liability insurance naming the Resort Municipality of Whistler (and the Whistler Village Land Co. Ltd., if any filming will take place in the Village) as additional insured. Insurance must contain a cross liability clause in favour of those corporations for $3 million CDN liability. A copy will be kept file by the RMOW. A film permit will not be issued without receipt of proof of insurance.
Sometimes additional approvals and permits will be required for a shoot. The terms and conditions of these will be outlined in the film permit itself.
A damage deposit of $6,000 is required for the first 20 days of production to ensure that there is no damage to RMOW's property, locations are restored to their original condition, and that filming fees are paid. If production exceeds 20 days, a second deposit will be required.
Refunds of damage deposits will be issued by cheque once production has concluded and the condition of locations has been assessed by municipal staff and deemed to be acceptable.
Fees apply to all on-location filming within Whistler Village or on other Resort Municipality of Whistler property, such as parks, facilities, residential areas, or roadways. Review film permit fees.

Matt Jans had some interesting thoughts on costs on his blog. I like the idea of small pilot tests. In fact, we do a lot of turning on and off of interviewer observations and other elements. In theory, this creates nearly experimental data that I have failed to analyze. My guess is that the amount of effort created by these few elements is too small to be detected given the sample sizes we have (n=20,000ish). That's good, right? The marginal cost of any observation is next to zero.
At a certain point, adding another observation will create a problem. It will be too much. Just like adding a little more metal to a ball bearing will transform it into a... lump of metal. Have we found that point yet?
Last week, we did find an observation that was timed using keystroke data. We will be taking a look at those data.


I wouldn't want to be the one in charge of writing this flick but I trust in Whedon.
I guess. He's never done anything to impress me. Buffy (the movie) was cool when I was a kid I guess. The series, though, I never cared for...nor Angel. They both seemed too cheesy and stupid for me. Firefly/Serenity I've seen clips/trailers of, which inspired me none whatsoever to want to watch the series (or the movie).
Toy Story was great. That's about all I can say for him.
They have a lot riding on this movie, they better hope it turns out good. If done right it could be amazing. If done not so right, it will end up being just another comic book movie.
You should at least check out Firefly. It's still cliched geek sci-fi, but the writing is top notch for the most part and the characters mesh really well. Mal, for many, really became the true Han Solo people have been looking for since Star Wars IV pre-Lucas edits.
Serenity was primarily for fans, like myself, of the TV series and was kind of Whedon's way of finishing off his overall story he had planned from the series in a quick fashion. It wasn't as good as the better episodes of the show, but it was better than nothing.
Buffy was a hit and miss. It got real messy when they had to focus on teen elements but shined brightest when it decided to not take itself serious. Angel I would say the same, though I did enjoy it a bit more at most times for not sticking too much to the High School mentality of handling relationships. I can see how you considered them cheesy and stupid, though.
I think it very important to note that Zack Penn, who has written more comic book screenplays this generation than anyone else that I can think of, is working with him. With Whedon's style and Penn's knowledge/experience, there's definitely a lot of potential there.
As a screenwriter this would absolutely kill me. I write movies to revolve around two or three characters, but at the core its two main characters. I do that because scripting other characters, developing them, and remembering them mid script is a pain in the arse. I hate developing 6 or 7 characters, Ive tried it. Its hard and I can undestand why Spiderman 3 was a little lacking.
I def. can't call myself a screenwriter but when I feel the need to vent out some creativity I take it out on my keyboard and Final Draft so I guess you could call me a hobbyist who always seems to lose his work or gets distracted by something. I can understand how building something that has so much focus on so many people can be so difficult. Most times I try to focus on 2 or 3 main characters with other people people peppered throughout.
Perhaps we could collaborate on something Soldier.
Yeah Im more than willing to work together on something. Im working on my second feature film right now, and ill be calling agents and such again when its done to try and sell both of them.
We should get some PMs going and exchange emails then. I have some fun ideas that I started on but never fully realized so I'd like to get some feedback and collaboration started sooner than later.
I hope it's really good. I've enjoyed the Marvel movies so far, but Iron Man 2 showed us just how bad the studio influence can be. Hopefully they'll let the filmmakers work their magic.
I have absolute faith in Whedon.
@JL, you are breaking my heart! Fricking watch Firefly and Serenity and you'll totally change your mind. The clips and stuff like that don't portray the scale and depth those have. I wasn't interested in them either until a friend sat me down to watch them. I've been a loyal browncoat ever since.
I do have a friend that got into Firefly and he's tried getting me to try it out. If it's any consolation, I do have some of the show in my Instant queue on Netflix. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime soon.
What turns me off about the clips is they always seem so cheesy. The acting always seems so sci-fi B-movie -ish. Which in turn only reminds me of the cheesiness of Buffy and Angel (which I have seen a few episodes of each). And while not entirely horrible, those weren't my thing either. He just always seems to have that cheesy/b-movie style to his writing.
I haven't seen Firefly nor Serenity yet but I do see that Firefly is on Netflix now here so I'll be getting to it as soon as I catch up on some other things.

Antibiotic treatment alleviates Alzheimer's disease symptoms in male mice
May 16, 2019 May 16, 2019 AlzheimerLeave a comment
Researchers at The University of Chicago have demonstrated that the type of bacteria living in the gut can influence the development of Alzheimer's disease symptoms in mice. The study, which will be published May 16 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, shows that, by altering the gut microbiome, long-term antibiotic treatment reduces inflammation and slows the growth of amyloid plaques in the brains of male mice, though the same treatment has no effect on female animals.
The community of bacteria that live in the gastrointestinal tract — the gut microbiome — is generally harmless, but, because they affect the activity of the body's immune system, these bacteria can influence a wide range of diseases, even in distant tissues such as the brain.
"Recent evidence suggests that intestinal bacteria could play a major role in various neurological conditions including autism spectrum disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease," explains Professor Sangram S. Sisodia, director of the Center for Molecular Neurobiology at The University of Chicago.
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the formation of amyloid plaques and the activation of immune cells present in the brain known as microglia. These cells can help remove amyloid plaques, but their activation may also exacerbate the disease by causing neuroinflammation.
Alzheimer's patients exhibit changes in their gut microbiome, and Sisodia and colleagues have previously reported that gut bacteria may influence the development of these symptoms in rodents. Long-term antibiotic treatment limited the formation of amyloid plaques and reduced microglia activation in male, but not female, mice expressing mutant proteins associated with familial Alzheimer's disease. "While compelling, our published studies on the role of the gut microbiome on amyloid plaque formation were limited to a single strain of mice," Sisodia says.
In the new study, Sisodia and colleagues therefore examined the effects of antibiotics on a different mouse model of Alzheimer's disease known as APPS1-21. Long-term treatment with a cocktail of antibiotics again reduced the formation of amyloid plaques in male mice but had no effect on females. Antibiotic treatment also appeared to alter the activation of microglia in male mice, changing them from a form that is thought to promote neurodegeneration to a form that helps to maintain a healthy brain.
To prove that these improvements in Alzheimer's symptoms were caused by alterations in the gut microbiome, the researchers transplanted fecal matter from untreated mice into antibiotic-treated animals. This procedure restored the gut microbiome and caused an increase in amyloid plaque formation and microglial activation.
But why do alterations in the gut microbiome only affect male mice? Sisodia and colleagues discovered that long-term antibiotic treatment changed the gut bacteria of male and female mice in different ways. The changes in the microbiome of female mice caused their immune systems to increase production of several proinflammatory factors that could influence the activation of microglia.
"Our study shows that antibiotic-mediated perturbations of the gut microbiome have selective, sex-specific influences on amyloid plaque formation and microglial activity in the brain," Sisodia says.

Karl Marx is one of the most prolific economists the world has ever known. His work awakened millions to a deeper understanding of the relationship between labor and capital. It's difficult to understate Marx's influence on present-day left-leaning ideologies, liberals, socialists, and other progressive thinkers draw inspiration from his ideas of the possible. The embracing of Marxism is fueling the rise of a transformative new political effort here in the United States, while simultaneously limiting our shared imagination of the future. This unintended consequence can be overcome if we begin to think beyond traditional dogmas. If we observe Marx's works from an alternative perspective, we can open ourselves up to the most important lesson he can teach us.
Marx explained that societies operate under specific modes of production that define their social, economic, and political institutions. Each one of these fixed regimes has specific arrangements and challenges unique to its structure.
Observing the present, we find ourselves entrenched in Marx's warning about the failures of a capitalist mode of production. Increasing social tensions rooted in economic inequalities between the bourgeoisie (the rich) and the proletariat (working class poor) fuel a growing call for a replacement of capitalism with a socialist model. Our present Executive branch is staffed with a tiny number of robber baron capitalists pursuing costly policy initiatives that defund public services and balloon our national deficit to provide tax cuts for our nation's wealthiest members. What was once a silent bourgeoisie agenda to concentrate wealth is now a deafening war cry.
This collapse is, as Marx predicted, driving people to align with supporting a socialist structure for our production model. What I am arguing is that if Marx were alive today, he would never endorse Socialism as the next logical path forward. That's because the premise of Marxism is based on an economic model where manufacturing as the most dominant form of production. This is no longer be true as the Knowledge Economy holds that mantle. Socialism was not designed for the present and no amount of creative syntax will change the fact that we can do better.
Critics of that statement would claim that a socialist revolution is the majority theme, but from a programmatic standpoint, a wholesale and immediate regime change is both politically unfeasible and potentially dangerous. The Democratic Socialists of America are doing some great work at the local community level, and I want to be clear that this is not an argument against their efforts, members, or leadership. Policy-wise we see Socialists taking up the banner of the modern Progressives, Universal Healthcare, a $15 minimum wage, immigration reform, etc. These policies are significant steps in the right direction and deserve recognition, but do nothing to address the structural problems of society. Instead, they serve to humanize the efforts of the present day conservative movement funded by our oligarchal class. A lack of real structural vision for the transformation and dogmatic adherence to a wholesale socialist substitution is an unintended byproduct of Marxism as it is written and ignores the larger lesson of Marxism.
Marx's brilliance does not relinquish him from the shared burden we all bear. Our imaginations of systemic alternatives can extend only so far given our orientation in the world today. All ideas for innovative social change begin at the floor of the established present. Marx framed history as a closed list of alternative modes of production, slavery, feudalism, capitalism, and socialism. Societies progress from one to another, often in a revolutionary format. The push for Socialism here in the United States draws from this same theory; Capitalism hasn't worked, Socialism is next.
The most prolific aspect of Marx's work is that the texts are an imaginative expression of how Societies are organized. In writing Capital, he demonstrated an ability to think beyond the present to share a new vision of how the future might unfold. His efforts show that there are no closed lists of potential regimes in history if, and only if, we have the foresight to imagine alternatives. Transformation is subject to no laws and only adheres to the restrictions that we choose to embrace.
Taken literally, the historical texts we draw inspiration from do not provide a way of thinking about structural change today. Academic, social sciences and policy discussions naturalize our existing arrangements. In imagining alternatives, we turn to Marxist theories which, while historically revolutionary, no longer serve as a viable option for the future. We abandon the promotion of socialism as the answer while simultaneously applying the best aspects to new alternatives.
In choosing to refuse the potential for greater goods than history provides us we discard one version of structure worship for another. We choose to rely on the past for salvation instead of our creative capabilities in the present. If we are to manifest a genuine transformation of society and humanity, it falls upon us to abandon dogma and open our minds to the possibility of what we could create given modern technology, information, and resources.
Socialism and the Progressive project align in their vision of demanding a deeply socialized suite of vital protections for all individuals codified into constitutional law. I believe our destiny is a shared one, but to achieve our vision, we must transcend history's claim on the future. By recognizing the limitations of our historical influences, we unleash our full potential for transformation in the world.

New Exhibit Honoring Contributions of German Grower Families Opens January 12
(INDIANAPOLIS) – The Indiana Historical Society (IHS) invites guests to learn about a forerunner of the farm-to-table movement with its newest exhibit, The German Growers of Indianapolis. The exhibit explores the contributions of German immigrants, and their tradition of locally grown fruits and vegetables, from the late 19th century to the present.
The German families who settled on the south side of Indianapolis developed a network of greenhouses that, by the 1940s, rivaled most other cities in the nation in "acres under glass." These farmers brought together by benefit societies and business associations, helped feed the city for generations.
The German immigrants grew a significant portion of the produce Indianapolis needed and distributed it through Indianapolis City Market and later through wholesale markets that they helped establish. The farmers also grew and distributed flowers, trees, shrubs, and other plants.
"What I can say is that the gardening and growing genes are very, very strong in our family," said Anne Maschmeyer, beautification director at Downtown Indy, Inc., and member of a German grower family. "It's an amazing feeling–like having chlorophyll running through my genes all the way back to my great-grandfather from Germany."
Those who tour The German Growers of Indianapolis will hear stories from Maschmeyer and three other families who took part in new oral history interviews. In addition, the exhibit will include IHS collection images showing what it looked like to work in greenhouses, distribute produce and be part of greenhouse grower organizations.
The German Growers of Indianapolis opens January 12 and runs through April 20 at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, home of IHS and the Indiana Experience, located at 450 W. Ohio St. in downtown Indianapolis. Admission is $9 for adults, $8 for seniors and $5 for kids (ages 5-17). IHS members and children younger than 5 receive free admission.
Those who wish to view additional collection items are encouraged to visit the William H. Smith Memorial Library, which is free to the public during the History Center's regular operating hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
For more information about The German Growers and other IHS exhibits and programs, call (317) 232-1882 or visit www.indianahistory.org.
About German Immigration to Indianapolis
German immigration transformed the Midwest socially, demographically and politically in the 19th century, and Indianapolis was no exception. The German families who formed the social and economic community of farmers on Indy's south side came from the German province of Westphalia, as well as the Rhineland region, and the cities of Hanover and Wittenburg. By the early 20th century, this community was more than 75 families strong. Though they were competitors in the same industry, the families worked together and supported each other both in their businesses and social lives.
About the Indiana Historical Society
Since 1830, the Indiana Historical Society has been Indiana's Storyteller™, connecting people to the past by collecting, preserving and sharing the state's history. A private, nonprofit membership organization, IHS maintains the nation's premier research library and archives on the history of Indiana and the Old Northwest and presents a unique set of visitor experiences called the Indiana Experience. IHS also provides support and assistance to local museums and historical groups; publishes books and periodicals; sponsors teacher workshops; produces and hosts art exhibitions, museum theater and outside performance groups; and provides youth, adult and family programs.

Personal Facts: Fuchs was the screenwriter on the 2007 hit Hollywood movie, "No Reservations."
[Note: All statistics above include the results of this tournament]
Reserve one gold bracelet for Carol Fuchs.
The successful Hollywood screenwriter and film producer won one of the toughest events on the entire 2015 World Series of Poker schedule, earning her first major poker victory and bragging rights for outlasting the rest of the field in one of the series' most demanding tournaments. Fuchs, who describes herself as an amateur part-time poker player, is best known as the credited co-screenwriter on the 2007 film, "No Reservations," starring Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Fuchs topped 357 players, plus a brutally tough final table lineup that included several top players vying for a WSOP gold bracelet victory. However, in the end it was Fuchs who ended up with the most prized piece of jewelry in poker.
The $481,950 prize pool was divided into 36 shares, with Fuchs taking the largest portion. Her cut of the pot amounted to a $127,735 first place prize.
Fuchs, who started out as a serious gin player, has been playing poker tournaments for more than a decade. She plays regularly at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles, preferring Pot-Limit Omaha cash games. She previously posted some deep runs and a few wins, but nothing on the scale of a WSOP victory.
This marked Fuchs' second time to cash at the WSOP. Her other in-the-money showing was a min-cash last year. She's played in four events this year so far. However, Fuchs has also amassed an impressive record in tournaments for an amateur, mostly in the Southern California-area card clubs. Fuchs previously won titles at the L.A. Poker Open in 2005 and 2011.
"It's encouraging when someone like me who is an amateur, and a woman, and – let's just say someone 'older than 30' – wins something big like this," Fuchs said. "I respect what the pros do, but for a non-pro to come out here and win, is encouraging for all players and especially for amateurs and women."
When it comes to mastering all the major poker games, no competition is as diverse or as prestigious as the $1,500 buy-in Dealers Choice event. This year marked the second consecutive time the Dealers Choice (Six-Handed) event was included on the schedule. After last year's success and favorable feedback, many players apparently like testing themselves and each other in a manner which is unequalled by any other major poker tournament of this kind.
Dealers Choice (Six-Handed) requires that players have some knowledge and ability in 18 different games, including some forms of poker that aren't played much anymore, at least in public cardrooms (Five-Card Draw and Omaha High, for instance). Players declare their game preference in rotation, which means virtually all games are played at some point.
Last year's champion was a testament to the overriding skill factor as Robert Mizrachi won his (then) second gold bracelet victory (he's since won one more). In the 46-year-history of the WSOP, no event has included a wider variance of different forms of poker, and it's expected this will be an annual tradition carrying added prestige given the required mastery of so many different games.
Fuchs was surprised that she adjusted so easily to the changing conditions, even to games that she didn't know very well. For instance, Fuchs admitted she had never played the game "Big-O" before, but ended up liking it. Deuce-to-Seven Single Draw was another game where Fuchs seemed to excel, often distancing herself from more experienced opponents.
Fuchs shocked the poker world with this victory, not because she's the first female to win an open event since Vanessa Selbst's victory last year early at the series, but more precisely because this tends to be an event which favors players with lots of experience playing in mixed games, and even some forms of poker that are quite rare.
"When I was playing at the final table, I really felt comfortable. I didn't really feel much pressure," Fuchs said. "It's fun for me. It's not a payday. They had more pressure, I think. For me, this is a bonus."
Fuchs still lives in Los Angeles, but travels to Las Vegas frequently. Prior to writing and producing films, she worked for seven years as an entertainment lawyer in Hollywood. Fuchs has future plans to work in movies and is currently working on a suspense-thriller that she hopes will get greenlighted and start shooting.
"Winning a gold bracelet or getting a movie made – I'm not sure which is tougher," Fuchs joked afterward. "I think they're both pretty challenging."
Ilya Krupin, from Moscow, Russia finished as the runner up. He appeared to be in good position to win what would have been his first gold bracelet about midway through the final table, which was played out on the third and final day of the 3-day tourney. However, Krupin seemed helpless towards the end of the tournament when playing heads up and simply couldn't overcome his chip disadvantage. He collected $78,933 as a consolation prize.
With this victory, Fuchs becomes the 21st female to win a gold bracelet in an open event in the 46-year history of the annual poker competition.
Following Fuchs' finish in the top spot, the descending order of results was as follows:
Second Place: Ilya Krupin, from Moscow, Russia finished 2nd. He received $78,933. This marked Krupin's fourth time to cash at the series – all of which have taken place this year. Krupin now has three top-15 finishes in 2015.
Third Place: Robert Mizrachi came remarkably close to defending his title, but finished in 3rd place instead. Mizrachi was on pace to accomplish something that's only been done twice in the last five years. However, late in the tourney, the Miami-born and Las Vegas-based poker pro ran cold and was denied his fourth career gold bracelet victory. Mizrachi did managed to collect $51,236. This marked his fifth time to cash at the 2015 series, with 4 of those finishes being in the top 12.
Fourth Place: Chris Klodnicki finished in 4th place. The Philadelphia-based poker pro collected $34,252.
Fifth Place: Yuval Bronshtein, the Tel Aviv born poker pro now residing in Las Vegas, finished in 5th place, which paid $23,428.
Sixth Place: Viktor Celikovsky, from Prague, Czech Republic cashed for the first time at the WSOP with this 6th-place finish. Celikovsky collected $16,588.
Seventh Place: Matt Szymaszek, Charlestown, MA, rounded out the official final table, taking $12,000 for the effort.
OTHER IN-THE-MONEY FINISHERS:
Aside from the final table finishers, other gold bracelet winning players who cashed included – Scott Clements (8th), Konstantin Maslak (9th), Randy Ohel (13th), Viascheslav Zhukov (14th), Tom Schneider (21st), Jeremy Ausmus (26th), Mike Leah (27th), Jeffrey Lisandro (29th), Todd Brunson (32nd), Steven Loube (33rd), and Michael Chow (34th).
Participation this year saw a slight decline from 419 entries (in 2014) to 357 (this year).
