Music From The Jam coming to St Albans pub
PUBLISHED: 20:00 16 May 2015 | UPDATED: 20:00 16 May 2015
From The Jam, featuring Russell Hastings and Bruce Foxton, have announced an intimate acoustic date at The Horn pub in St Albans.
The Jam’s music still sounds as fresh today as when it was released by Paul Weller and Co back in the late 70s and early 80s.
It’s been more than 30 years since the Mod legends split up at the height of their powers.
While Weller plays selected Jam tracks during his solo tours, the best way to hear classic songs such as Start, Going Underground, When You’re Young and Strange Town is to see From The Jam, featuring former The Jam bassist Bruce Foxton.
From The Jam will be bringing their 2016 acoustic tour That’s Entertainment to The Horn pub in St Albans on Wednesday, March 16.
Foxton and Russell Hastings will be joined on stage by pianist Tom Heel, and will perform a selection of songs from The Jam’s extensive back catalogue, as well as handing over the microphone to the audience for a question and answer session.
This intimate show is a rare opportunity to hear fan favourites in this stripped down way.
“We played some acoustic shows last year and it was a revelation how well the songs work acoustically,” said Foxton.
“It’s a testament to a good song that they have stood the test of time and don’t need a full band and big production in order to work so well.”
Audience members can expect to hear classics such as Down In The Tube Station At Midnight, Town Called Malice and The Modern World.
Advance tickets are on sale now priced £25 and it’s advisable to book early to avoid disappointment.
Tickets will be £27 on the door.

Parramatta halfback Tim Smith has been suspended indefinitely after returning to the booze less then a week after agreeing to abstain from it.
Smith remains on contract with the club and will be given time to focus on his health.
A club spokesperson said Smith had voluntarily checked himself into rehab interstate to "to address a number of complex issues."

Meanwhile the Parramatta Stadium Trust have agreed to erect a statue of Ray Price outside his old stomping ground.

The Girona City Council will launch this school year a pilot test family conciliation with a program of educational leisure activities outside school hours. The initiative, which is called “Entárdate, Tardes de Lleure”, is aimed at students between 4 and 12 years of age in the public schools of the Educational Plan for the Environment of Santa Eugenia and Sant Narcís. This afternoon, the Councilor for Education, Children and Sports of the consistory, Àdam Bertran, presented the proposal. At the moment, a total of 800 places will be offered. Entries can be made from September 14 to 20 through the schools participating in the program. For those who need it, one day a week, in each educational center, municipal technicians will support at the time of registration.
“From the City Council we want to ensure universal access to quality leisure education, and that children have the opportunity to enjoy activities outside school hours“, explained councilor Àdam Bertran, who also stressed that the initiative aims to “facilitate family conciliation so that families can have a care space once the child finishes school“. Bertran has recalled that the project “It is part of the Plan for Educational Equity that we approved a few months ago“.
Specifically, the pilot test will consist of the organization of themed leisure afternoons in the public primary schools themselves, between 4:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. There will be proposals for psychomotricity, multisports, creativity and plastic arts, robotics and music, and families will be able to choose one, two or three leisure afternoons per child, depending on the days and activities they prefer. In this way, “Sleep in, Afternoons of Lleure” fulfills a double objective. On the one hand, to guarantee equal opportunities for boys and girls to participate in quality educational leisure activities and, on the other, to offer an afternoon space for families so that they can reconcile personal and work life with school .
To facilitate access to all families, the City Council subsidizes part of the cost of the activities. In addition, it has been established social rating system for those families with greater economic difficulties, so that no child is left behind.
The pilot project will be developed in the public primary schools of the Educational Plan for the Environment of Santa Eugenia and Sant Narcís , with the aim of responding to the difficulty that has been detected in the area that students can access leisure and extracurricular activities. The centers where the project will be applied are the following: the Santa Eugenia School, the Josep Dalmau Carles School, the Montfalgars School, the Cassià Costal School and the Ágora School, which add up to a total of 1,359 students between 4 and 12 years old.
“Entárdate, Tardes de Lleure” is part of the line of proposals for free up time and facilitate the care of children from 2 to 12 years old of the campaign promoted by the Social Rights Area of the City Council “In Girona we take care of ourselves”, approved within the framework of the Corresponsables Plan (2021-2023). In addition, the initiative is one of the actions provided for in the Plan for Equity of the city of Girona, which was presented in June this year in order to work for equal educational opportunities for children in the city.
With the launch of the “Entárdate, Tardes de Lleure”, the Girona City Council wants to guarantee the universal access to education in quality leisure, giving children the opportunity to enjoy activities outside school hours and, at the same time, reduce educational inequalities and increase student motivation for learning. These objectives are part of the Girona Educació 360 program and the values of Ciudad Educadora.

Ms Nalumango has told QFM News that since the Patriotic Front (PF) came into office in 2011, they have instilled fear in the minds of the Zambian people.
Ms. Nalumango, who is also former MMD Kaputa Member of Parliament, says the only thing the PF government has done is to promote anarchy in the country through its cadres.
She states that there is need for the PF government to respect the rule of law so that the people may have a say in governance issues.
Ms. Nalumango, who is also former deputy Speaker of the national assembly says the PF needs to pay attention to the cries of the people if they want to survive beyond 2016.

|Baker Pushing His Cart -- sugar mold
Age: late 19th or early 20th century
Size: 12 5/8" x 8 1/4"
Note: This is half of a two-part sugar mold that would have been used by a Dutch baker to form suikker or sugar. What makes this mold unusual is that it is a self-portrait of sorts, as the design is of a baker pushing his cart. The cart reads "bakker" which is Dutch for baker. Bakers in the Netherlands would take their goods to streets in order to deliver or simply sell door to door. Bakers also did this in the United States.

Nigerian International and Chelsea midfielder, Mikel Obi, scored a rare goal in his club’s Champion’s League tie with PSG on Tuesday.
The goal, which cancelled out Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s opener for the French club, gave Chelsea a fighting chance heading into the second leg of the tie in London.
Although PSG won the match 2-1, the goal, one of six scored by the midfielder in 10 seasons at Chelsea, set Twitter on fire.
Some considered it atonement for his error, which resulted in PSG’s opener, for others it meant the end is near.
Here are some of the top reactions:

China's factories, retailers stumble on COVID-19 disruptions
China’s factory and retail sectors faltered in August with output and sales growth hitting one-year lows as fresh coronavirus outbreaks and supply disruptions threatened the country’s impressive economic recovery.
Industrial production rose 5.3% in August from a year earlier, narrowing from an increase of 6.4% in July and marking the weakest pace since July 2020, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed on Wednesday. Output growth missed the 5.8% increase tipped by analysts.
Consumer spending also took a big hit from rising local COVID-19 cases and floods with sales rising only 2.5% in August from a year ago, much lower than the forecast 7.0% rise and the slowest clip since August last year.
“Economic growth slowed in August as consumption was hit by the lingering impact of earlier COVID outbreaks and investment remained weak,” said Louis Kuijs, Head of Asia Economics at Oxford Economics. “Meanwhile, a new outbreak which started a few days ago in Fujian is posing downside risk to our forecast of a pick-up in growth in Q4 after a weak Q3.”
The world’s second-largest economy has made a remarkably strong revival from last year’s coronavirus-led slump, but momentum has slowed over the past few months due to supply chain bottlenecks, semiconductor shortages, curbs on high-polluting industries and a crackdown on property investment.
Looking ahead, analysts at Nomura expect the weakness to broadly extend into September given the new wave of Delta cases in Fujian province and worsening conditions in the property market as authorities get tough on the sector.
In the industrial sector, production curbs hit output of aluminum and steel, while a drastic cut in fuel export quotas hurt China’s crude oil throughput.
Social restrictions due to the COVID-19 Delta variant in several provinces have hit the catering, transportation, accommodation and entertainment industries.
China’s services activity slumped into contraction in August, a private-sector survey showed, as restrictions to curb COVID-19 once again closed shopping malls and many businesses in parts of the country.

Snow is still a hot topic...
Bringing out the best in everyone...
IS that it folks? Let’s hope that’s the last of the snow and ice for the next 10 or 20 years!
I wish to express my thanks to the following:
fishermen and those who have to handle fish and meat – no joke in recent conditions;
farmers who have to attend to livestock no matter what;
medical teams and all the emergency services, coastguard and lifeboat crews, mountain rescue, volunteers and the military who helped out;
air crews who flew passengers home for Christmas;
businesses large and small, the van drivers and truckers who kept our food shops supplied;
coach and bus drivers – especially Cardiff Bus – the cheery drivers who squeezed as many passengers on the bus as possible and the taxi drivers who turned out;
and Wales and West Housing Association for supplying salt and grit for pathways in my locality, and telephoning me the day before Christmas Eve to check I was OK.
Also a special thought to all who were hospitalised or lost loved ones over the Christmas period.
I noticed there were a number of Scrooge films (A Christmas Carol) shown on television this season. I certainly was not Scrooged in Cardiff this Christmas!
Post continued despite the ice
I HAVE a different opinion from those contributors to Viewpoints who have complained about the manner in which the recent snow was dealt with.
When the streets were very dangerous my postman, Nigel, delivered the mail with his usual efficiency.
The refuse collectors had an onerous task, using both hands to carry the bags, which left them without a steadying hand if they should slip.
The bus drivers and the men who gritted the roads also carried out unenviable tasks, and when I encountered any of them I expressed my appreciation.
It is regrettable when people make a career of complaining – so what if things were disorganised?
Misjudgements may or may not have occurred but is there anyone alive who has never wrongly assessed a situation?
Council had to prioritise
AS Cabinet Member for Visible and Building Services at the Vale of Glamorgan Council, I feel compelled to respond to Claire Curtis, Labour candidate for Barry Town Council, concerning this council not gritting Winston Road and Meggit Road in Barry (Viewpoints, January 4).
Winter maintenance is within my Cabinet portfolio and I am justifiably proud that staff within the visible services section were able to keep the main highways of the Vale of Glamorgan open.
The council currently treats 43% of its highway network and we are simply not able to treat every road or bus route.
There are no significant inclines on Winston Road or Meggit Road and, therefore, while these roads are well used, they would not be considered as high a priority as some other roads within the Vale.
Readers will appreciate the demand for highway treatment. Our contact centre received hundreds of service requests from residents for snow clearance and gritting. At the end of our winter maintenance operations we review our actions and consider any changes necessary, including gritting routes. Any additions to the current routes will, however, have to be balanced within our available budget.

Snow lessons will be learned
CARDIFF suffered severe disruption due to snowfalls in the coldest December for 100 years.
Cardiff council officers and workers worked very hard over the period to grit and clear snow.
The consensus among scientists has been that winters were getting warmer and snowfalls becoming rarer. It may be that winters are in fact getting worse.
Plaid Cymru’s executive members Councillors Delme Bowen and Neil McEvoy were rightly highly critical of the performance of the city council.
They are not afraid of rocking the boat if they think the council is getting it wrong.
We Plaid Cymru councillors have a proud record of representing the people of Cardiff.
In Fairwater and Riverside we have replaced former New Labour councillors; we have replaced their inertia with action.
Plaid Cymru is a refreshingly honest party. We stood out and opposed the foolish and illegal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The city council is jointly run by Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats. Both parties have agreed for an inquiry and review of how heavy snowfalls are dealt with.
Lessons will be learned and provision and response improved.
Councillor Keith Parry
Review must be carried out
ON behalf of the residents of Cardiff Central, the constituency which I represented for Plaid in the last general election, I have to say that, from what I hear from senior Cardiff Plaid members and members of the public, Cardiff council fell well short in its duty to the public during the recent icy conditions.
I have sympathy for the council though, as I believe all affected councils were caught out by this freak icy period. Lessons must be learned, especially to protect the most vulnerable in our communities.
I have asked that the Vale, of which I am an elected member, learn the lessons of this experience and a report comes back to the scrutiny committee which I chair, at the end of the winter, with our findings, so that we may react positively to mitigate the problems encountered during future, similar periods.
I respectfully suggest that perhaps Cardiff, if not already under way, should do likewise.
Vale of Glamorgan
Time to bring officers to book
I AM sure you hear similar stories day after day: the snow is coming back and we will once again see how incapable and utterly unprepared our council is.
How it coped with the last snow leaves most right-thinking citizens speechless with the sheer inability of people who pay themselves inflated salaries out of our pockets to deal with a seasonal problem.
The rest of the world which experiences similar winter conditions laughs at us!
They try to shelter behind the fact that they have limited resources but think nothing of frittering away our money on useless and ill-conceived projects.
I have a shop in Llanedeyrn. Last summer the council spent an alleged £300,000-plus erecting fences in the area “to stop motorbikes” and to which a large number of residents objected.
Now it is going to rip up all the paving stones outside my shop and replace them as “it will help beautify the area”. Of all the hare-brained schemes and ideas, another total waste of our money.
It is high time these arrogant public servants were brought to book and made accountable for their actions.
Noel T Davies
Scouts do their best to deliver
WITH reference to Martin Rees of Llanrumney (Viewpoints, January 3), I have been involved in the Scout Post for 10 years and can honestly say that the Scouts and volunteers do their utmost to deliver all the Christmas cards.
I don’t think the majority of people appreciate the enormity of the situation. A large number of people don’t know where their friends live and it’s not unusual for one person to live at three or four addresses in one street.
A minority of cards arrive without addresses and this year we had some with Post Office stamps on.
Were the Scout cards put in the Royal Mail’s boxes?
If so I doubt they would be delivered. I believe the Scout Post offers a very valuable service but, like anything, cannot be 100% perfect. We do our best. Long may it continue.
Name and address supplied
Grit all of our city bus routes
JMR, from Pentrebane, who wrote in about no buses for a whole week because of the snow, is not alone (Viewpoints, January 7).
My brother lives at the bottom of the Llanrumney estate near the shops and every time there is snow or ice they have the same problem. Why?
This is also a bus route for the residents so why don’t they grit the main road on the estate?
If the buses can’t get around the estate why should residents be expected to walk up a hill to get to Newport Road to catch a bus to get to and from work?
It’s about time the council pulled its socks up and sorted its gritting routines out and gritted all main bus routes, not just the ones they think ought to be done.
We are all paying our taxes!


text: BEREA — Injuries are beginning to mount for the Browns with two games left in the season. Wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi (knee), tight end Jordan Cameron (concussion) and safety Tashaun Gipson (foot) were ruled out of the game Sunday in Denver by Browns coach Pat Shurmur after practice Friday. On Monday starting strong safety T.J. Ward and linebacker James-Michael Johnson were put on injured reserve with knee injuries. Josh Cooper will fill Massaquoi’s role, Brad Smelley will replace Cameron and Eric Hagg will start at free safety in place of Gipson. Usama Young had been playing free safety, but he is taking Ward’s spot. “It’s nice to get back out there,” said Cooper, who spent the first five weeks on the practice squad. “I’ve been up and down all season. I really have to stay in the moment and study the playbook because you never know when you’re going to get the call. It came my way so I’m excited to get back out there and hopefully make a difference.” Cooper was on the inactive list the last four weeks because Massaquoi and the other receivers were healthy. Cooper, a rookie and former teammate of Brandon Weeden at Oklahoma State, has seven catches for 98 yards. Tank Carder will start in place of Johnson at strong side linebacker when the Browns are in their base 4-3-4 defense. Shurmur expects to be in the nickel most of the time with four defensive linemen, D’Qwell Jackson plus Craig Robertson at linebacker and five defensive backs. “It’s bad for JMJ,” Carder said. “It’s never good when injuries occur. He was playing great ball. Hats off to him the way he’s been playing, but that’s the way it is. That’s the nature of the beast. People are going to get hurt and the next guy has to step up. It’s an opportunity and you’ve got to run with it. “I’m going to be out there running around, giving 110 percent. Regardless (if I) mess up or not, I’m going to be going 110 percent. I’ll bring effort.” Not many players make their first NFL start against Peyton Manning in late December. “You’re playing against arguably one of the best to play the game, smartest for sure,” Carder said. “He’s definitely going to be a Hall of Famer. And my first NFL start playing against a Hall of Famer, so that’s definitely huge. “But at the end of the day, he’s just a football player, and we’ve got to prepare for him the same way. It’s going to be awesome.” Carder was acquired on waivers from the Bills on Sept. 1. Not only did he not start any of the first 14 games; he has not made a tackle from scrimmage. He has played mostly special teams and has five tackles.

South Africa’s path to a welfare state has not been easy. For starters the problem of how to pay for social welfare in a country with too few taxpayers and not enough full-time employed citizens, has meant that social services have been rolled out first to those in most need — children, the disabled and the elderly. In recent months the ruling party announced the introduction of universal healthcare in the form of National Health Insurance and a number of pilot schemes in which the system would be phased in incrementally.
Although opposition parties and civil society groups have already called for a basic income grant for all citizens along with health care, South Africa has lacked both the political will and the means to achieve this goal. Both the Freedom Charter and our country’s Constitution enshrine the right of citizens to share in the wealth of the country but this promise has appeared out of reach, resulting in ongoing poverty for millions. The pressure on the state to deliver essential services while moving towards a technologically sophisticated industrial economy has resulted in political infighting with far left groups such as the Economic Freedom Front (EFF) demanding that private property be confiscated by the state in a plan that would essentially reduce the economy and the country to a communist dictatorship.
Such a path is not the inevitable outcome of South Africa’s democracy. According to social and economic rights activist Nicole Tin,”Communism tries to correct the imbalance between the poor and the rich through the idea of common ownership. The fault is the implementation of a centralized common ownership. All the wealth gets centralized into the hands of a few people in the government and wealth distribution becomes a problem. China and Russia have given up on this idea of a common centralized ownership.”
Democracy, she says “is attractive as every citizen has a vote to pick the government. However, beyond this vote, democracy has nothing tangible to offer to its citizens. Wealth and power are concentrated among the rich.”
In the new democratic order envisaged by post-Marxists like Tin the common ownership of property would exist side by side private ownership of property by individuals or organizations, as currently practiced in democratic countries. For example, land pieces sold by governments.
The most important difference is that the proceeds from the lease or sale of common properties are distributed directly to all citizens equally.
In current democracies, even communist ones, Tin says, “such proceeds are kept, confiscated, in the government treasury. Common properties include land, oil, minerals, water, air space, road space, electromagnetic wave bands, nature parks, fishery license, sovereign wealth fund, and anything else in the country that is not already owned by private individuals or organizations.”
“In current democracies, citizens get zero wealth from being a citizen. In a citizen-ownership or co-ownership democracy, citizens equally share the wealth realized when common properties are sold. Each citizen in a citizen co-ownership democracy has a right to vote and a right to an equal share of the country’s wealth.”
In South Africa where the dominant theme of wealth sharing and resource allocation is known as ubuntu, this makes sense, since there are limitations to what can or cannot be shared, necessitating the creation of shares, stocks and bond certificates.
“The amount of citizen dividend per citizen depends on the country’s common wealth. The amount is expected to be very substantial in many countries. For example, in Alaska, the amount can be easily a few thousand dollars per resident. In Singapore, the amount is estimated at about $9000 per citizen. (The details are in the cases supplied by Tin below). The amount over a person’s lifetime is easily hundreds of thousand of dollars, or even a million dollars.
So how exactly are we going to pay for all of this wealth sharing? Welll, South Africa has mineral wealth, the reserves of which remain some of the world’s most valuable, with an estimated worth of R20.3-trillion ($2.5-trillion). Overall, the country is estimated to have the world’s fifth-largest mining sector in terms of GDP value. Government investment in the economy is in the region of billions of rands and like Dubai plans are afoot to beneficiate mineral wealth and to move beyond this windfall to a modern information economy.
The transition from a democracy to a citizen co-ownership democracy needs no revolution says Tin, It needs only a political party to champion this idea, win the citizens over and you institutionalize this idea. “In some countries such as Switzerland, citizens can initiate and vote for a new democracy. They do not have to wait for any political party.”
“Careful institutionalization of citizen co-ownership and citizen dividend is essential. Past examples, e.g., the Alaska Permanent Fund and Alberta Heritage Fund, have shown that dividend funds without careful protection will be diverted by politicians to other “urgent” uses. A good protection is through Constitutional laws that require a high referendum to change. A normal law that can be easily changed by a simple Parliamentary majority is not much of a protection.
The path towards a Basic Income Grant in which citizens gain financial freedom from birth and where the state essentially pays each and every citizen a basic salary every month is a long one. We may not ever get there as a developing nation, but we can certainly redistribute the nation’s wealth on a per annum or quarterly basis. There is no reason why the annual windfall from the state on the basis of co-ownership could not benefit us all in the same way that below par taxpayers already receive annual benefits from SARS in the form of a tax return. If you earn under R99 056 pa you already get your employees IRP pay deductions back, but if you unlucky enough to be unemployed you receive nothing. This is the gap which opposition parties need to fill in order to stay relevant to the 25% -36% segment of South Africans who remain unemployed.

Georgia Southern University will showcase its new City Campus in downtown Statesboro during a special event from 5 until 7:30 p.m. Thursday on East Main Street next to City Hall.
The City Campus is a joint-effort between Georgia Southern, the Downtown Statesboro Development Authority and the City of Statesboro designed to boost the economic development of the city and downtown area.
“The City Campus highlights the important relationship between Georgia Southern University and the Statesboro/Bulloch County community,” said Georgia Southern University President Brooks Keel. “The university is very fortunate to be located in a community that is so supportive of its endeavors. Georgia Southern looks forward to the opportunities the City Campus will bring to support the current and future business leaders of Statesboro and Bulloch County.”
The City Campus will house the university’s Bureau of Business Research and Economic Development along with an E-Zone, which is part of the University’s Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership and Learning. The E-Zone will consist of classrooms and meeting space, but will also house areas that small businesses can utilize during their initial start-up phase.
“The City Campus will be a place where people in the business community can tap into the deep well of knowledge our College of Business Administration faculty have about what it takes to be an entrepreneur and how to run a successful operation even during these trying economic times, “said Ronald Shiffler, dean of the College of Business Administration.
A branch of the University Store also is located in the City Campus so that fans have another place to shop for Georgia Southern merchandise. The City Campus store’s summer hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
During the grand opening celebration, which will be held along with the Statesboro Chamber of Commerce’s ‘Business After Hours’ event, people will be able to tour the City Campus and learn more about what it has to offer the business community.
“The addition of the City Campus shows Georgia Southern University’s commitment to the people and businesses of Statesboro and Bulloch County,” said Allen Muldrew, executive director of the Downtown Statesboro Development Authority. “We are hopeful that many successful, locally owned businesses will get their start here and will continue to utilize the City Campus as they grow and prosper.”

Help us MAKE HOPE HAPPEN by donating to our End-of-Year Campaign. Our building is over 20 years old, yet “best practice” in how rooms are designed to work with our kids has changed a lot over time. To keep up we need to remodel our interview and observation rooms to provide better service and care for children who have been abuse or neglected. As we see more children each year the issues become even more urgent. To learn more click Making Hope Happen at the top of the page, or go directly to DONATE. Thank you for your support!
Abuse Impacts Us All
When a child is abused the whole family is affected. Parents struggle with their own emotions while trying to provide support and guidance to their child. During this difficult time, families face a complex system of legal, medical and mental health issues, services, and support. No family should have to face it alone.
Needed Services that Help Healing Begin
At Juliette’s House, we bring a variety of professionals together under one roof so families can access a full range of services in one centralized, child-friendly location. We introduce services quickly so children and families can begin healing.
In cooperation with law enforcement and child protective services, we perform thorough medically-based evaluations using specially trained examiners and interviewers in a comfortable, home-like setting.
All allegations of child abuse deserve a skillful, complete assessment by specialized professionals. At Juliette’s House, we strive to make an accurate determination of child abuse with minimal trauma to the child. Our primary goal is medical diagnosis and treatment of alleged child abuse victims.

So yesterday, Christianity Today Online posted my comments on the "Is SpongeBob promoting homosexuality" brouhaha. One of the comments I made was that New York/DC-based kids media folks like Sesame Street and Nickelodeon were going to come under increasing pressure to positively portray sexual indentity diversity alongside racial and gender diversity. I predicted that this issue could ultimately split the currently unified world of children's programming into two distinct worlds – one for "Red states" and one for "Blue states." (Or, more accurately, Red counties and Blue counties. Or, even more accurately, secular liberals and religious conservatives.)
So what happens today? There's story in today's New York Times about a fight between PBS national and the Boston PBS mega-affiliate WGBH over just that issue! WGBH, producer of PBS kids hit "Arthur" and the new spin-off "Postcards from Buster" produced an episode of the latter show where Buster visits a lesbian family. PBS national, knowing how many conservatives will be offended, is currently refusing to distribute that episode nationwide. As you would predict, WGBH is going ballistic, planning to distribute the episode nationally themselves.
Hoo-boy! We're in for some fun! Just remember, I called it first…
I know this is late, but you notice that they picked the “lighter” side of the gay coin (if there is one). I have yet to see on television (not movies outside of the theater, HBO or Cinemax (and the other pay stations), that portrays two gay men living together having a serious (non-comical) sexual relationship. My point being that society as a whole will probably never be ready for that for quite a while, if ever, no matter how “tolerant” we become.
And I don’t understand the big deal about getting all this stuff on TV anyway. Is the public asking for more gay material in the TV shows, or is it the gay public asking for it, or is it the media guessing that the public wants more? My guess would be the latter. Even more suprising is a public station, of which a lot are funded by public donations (I think) would take such a step.
Anyway, that is my two cents on that!!
Well, Tom, being a Christian, I feel I have the right to say I have never seen, from any of my wide variety of friends, any proof that homosexuality is harmful. Maybe to those too intolerant to accept it, but if we realize it is only an abomination the same way doing magic tricks is an abomination, we will all work together much better as a society.
Buster has lesbian mothers because children in real life have lesbian mothers. Poe carries a purse because Poe is genderless, and has no idea what a purse is. Bert and Ernie live together because they are best friends. The more we let homophobia run our lives, the farther back we go as a society, and the harder it becomes for us to discern a real cause for alarm from a fear of those who are different.
I find it hard not to quote “Are You My Neighbor?”, but I think I can resist.
Actually, Cal, Buster’s mom is divorced. I think the problem was that some of the kids he was “interviewing” lived in a home with two “moms”.

The Most Dangerous Game
Project By Vanessa Doan
"I'm General Zaroff" - Zaroff pg.17
A character is a person or animal in a story. Sanger Rainsford is a world renowned big game hunter and the story's protagonist. General Zaroff is a Russian Cossack and expatriate who lives on Ship-Trap island and enjoys hunting men. Whitney is a friend of Rainsford and traveling companion. Ivan is a Cossack and Zaroff's mute assistant.
Conflict Man vs. Nature
"Bleak darkness was blacking out the sea and jungle when Rainsford sighted the light" pg. 16Man vs. Nature means a character has a problem with some natural happening. Rainsford is first placed against the sea when the ship wrecks. Then he faces the jungle along with all the elements within it.
"That's odd. It must have been a fairly large animal too." - Rainsford pg. 15Foreshadowing are hints the author give you about something that is going to happened later. In this story Rainsford hears a sceram of an animal that he has never heard before which should be impossible since he has hunted every game known to man, later we find out that the scream wasn't an animal but a human...although to the who's hunting the human the point is discussable.

The author recounts one sexual encounter after another, and dialogue between characters is spare but entertaining: "What sort of people did you meet at orgies? Middle class types?"If you are a writer, artist, curator, editor, reading series coordinator, etc. do send me your events for consideration at lauren at maudnewton dot com.


After months of leaks and teasers, Xiaomi has today unveiled the Mi Max 3, the third in its large screen series of smartphones. The Mi Max 3 as the name suggests, does things big, from an overly large display to a monstrous battery and up to 6GB of RAM.
The device packs a unibody metal design fitted with a large 6.9″ FHD+ display, an 18:9 aspect ratio, slim side bezels, without the trendy notch at the front, a circular rear fingerprint sensor, as well as a dual rear camera setup. Under the good, the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 utilizes a Snapdragon 636 SoC with Adreno 509 GPU, 4GB of RAM and boots Android 8.1 (Oreo) with MIUI out of the box. Its available in two storage and RAM variants: 4GB RAM+64GB storage variant and the 6GB RAM +128GB storage variants.
A major highlight of the device is its 5500mAh battery with an undisclosed rating and supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging as well as parallel charging. Xiami claimed the Max 2 boasts of 2 days of battery life from a single charge, so the Mi Max 3 should offer something close, but we shouldn’t expect more due to the increased screen size. However, with the support for Qualcomm Quick charge, the battery should top up faster.
Gizchina News of the week
Above the large 6.9″ display, you will find an 8-megapixel selfie shooter with support for face unlock, while a vertically aligned dual 12MP+5MP cameras with dual PD focus AI voice assistance and some AI features which it said can detect about 206 scenes.
Connectivity options include Dual hybrid SIM, Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac (2.4 / 5GHz) MIMO, Bluetooth 5, GPS + GLONASS, and a USB Type-C. The device measures 176.15×87.4×7.99mm, and weighs 221g, and will hit the market in Meteorite Black, Dream Gold, and Dark Blue color options.
The base 4GB variant is priced at 1699 yuan/US$ 252. while the 6GB variant goes for 1999 yuan/US$ 296. It will go on sale in China starting from July 20th, but there is presently no word on international availability.
Have any thought on the Mi Max 3 specs and pricing? Please do let us know in the comments.


New Semi-Autos: Picks and Pans
Briefly, Mossberg has hit a home run with the 940 JM Pro, substantially improving the already successful Mossberg 930 platform to the delight of 3-gun shooters everywhere. It is a big win for Mossberg. See the video at https://youtu.be/w6pp09WxB2M .
Benelli Montefeltro Walnut / Blued $1129 MSRP
Browning A5 Hunter Walnut / Blued $1669 MSRP
Retay Gordion Walnut / Blued $899 MRSP
Only the Retay Gordion has no “Benelli Click”
Only the Retay ships in a lockable hard case
Only the Retay gives you five choke tubes
Only the Retay has Bohler Steel barrels
Only the Retay Gordion has waterfowl models with speed unloading, starting at $799 MSRP
Retay, with their new Gordion, now has the best for the money inertia gun on the market with their proven Inertia-Plus action that eliminates the Benelli Click. With a machined alloy trigger group and Bohler steel barrels, it puts the Benelli Montefeltro (and others) to shame in both price and performance. The Gordion is the shotgun that many say they have always wanted. I talk about the Gordion here: https://youtu.be/OyMp6vJMJqk .
The Savage Renegauge, presented as a hunting gun, is too pricey, too heavy (about 8 lbs.), too front heavy, and a bit too cosmetically unappealing to compete with the pre-existing, far better value Remington V3. Patrick R. Kelly does a fine job going over the Renegauge here: https://youtu.be/cIEcLjsGMoA . The weight and the price remain off-putting.

The band on the soundtrack of Almost Famous, Stillwater had a lasting impact with their songs. Who sang and played guitar for them?
The “did jason lee sing in almost famous” is a question that has been asked for a while. The answer is no, but he did provide the voice of one of the main characters, who was played by Patrick Fugit.
Furthermore, Peter Frampton, a veteran of the 1970s, composed many of the Stillwater songs used in the film, and Wilson and Crowe co-authored the band’s bass-driven anthem “Feverdog,” which was included on the album.
Who provided the vocals for Stillwater in Almost Famous, by the way?
In Almost Famous, who sings for the fictitious Stillwater? Of course, Jason Lee is not the vocalist, so please tell me who does. “Marti Frederiksen,” to be precise.
Also, who composed the soundtrack for the film Almost Famous? Wilson, Nancy
In Almost Famous, who was the actual band?
Crowe was a youthful writer for Rolling Stone, therefore the film is semi-autobiographical. It is based on his traveling experiences with rock bands such as Poco, the Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, Eagles, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Is Stillwater from Almost Famous a real band?
Is there a genuine band called Stillwater? Cameron Crowe met the bands and musicians that make up Stillwater while working at Rolling Stone. Russell Hammond, the guitarist, is reported to be modelled on Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers, with whom Crowe toured in 1973.
Answers to Related Questions
Is it true that Stillwater died in an aircraft crash?
While on tour with The Who, Crowe was involved in a near-fatal aircraft disaster. Russell Hammond is modeled after Glenn Frey of the Eagles. Stillwater’s four performers practiced for six weeks, four hours a night, five nights a week, to appear like a genuine rock band.
Is the almost-famous film worth seeing?
Nonetheless, what Crowe has accomplished is astounding. You would be thrilled to take your mother to watch his film about sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. “Almost Famous” has a R rating (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It should, of course, involve sex and drugs.
Is Penny Lane a real person or a fictional character?
“Penny Lane is based on various groupies or “band aids” Cameron met in the 1970s, but Pennie Trumble is the major influence. Her official website may be found here.”
Penny Lane’s true name was
Trumbull, Pennie Ann
In the film Almost Famous, what is Penny Lane’s age?
Is Almost Famous starring Jack Black?
Nearly Famous (2000)
According to IMDb, both Jack Black and Jon Favreau auditioned for the role of rock critic Lester Bangs in writer/director Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous, but Phillip Seymour Hoffman won.
Is there a Netflix version of Almost Famous?
Netflix’s Almost Famous (2000)
This hilarious coming-of-age story follows William as he comes face to face with life, love, and jargon.
Is Billy Crudup a guitar player?
Crudup’s on-screen cooperation with young musicians Anton Yelchin and (real musician) Ben Kweller is one of Macy’s directorial debut’s highlights. “Billy, like everyone else, enjoys playing guitar,” Macy says USA TODAY. “You’re listening to them sing, and that’s their voices.”
What is McCready’s age?
Kate Hudson was born in Los Angeles, California, on April 19, 1979. She starred in an indie film in 1998. She was also a member of the ensemble cast in the film 200 Cigarettes. With her portrayal in Almost Famous, she had charmed her way into the hearts of fans and reviewers by the end of 2000.
In what year does the movie “Nearly Famous” take place?
Is Almost Famous a Broadway production?
Almost Famous: The Musical is based on the comedy film of the same name, which was released in 2000. The musical Almost Famous had its Broadway debut in 2019 at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, California.
Is it true that Stillwater was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone?
After many ups and downs, the fictitious band Stillwater makes it to the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. This is one of the finest films ever created (editor’s note), and this scene serves as the film’s conclusion. For movie buffs, this poster or canvas is a must-have.
Is Ryan Reynolds in the upcoming film Almost Famous?
RYAN REYNOLDS – Prior to being named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive (2010), Reynolds honed his acting abilities as Billy Simpson, a regular youngster on the Canadian drama Hillside (also known as Fifteen). For a few seasons in the early 1990s, the series ran on Nickelodeon in Canada and the United States.
Where did the movie Singles take place?
Steve and Linda see a film at The Admiral Theater in West Seattle (2343 California Ave SW) right before their car accident at the intersection of California Avenue SW & SW Charleston Street. Steve’s work was located at the “Spam Can” building right down from Capitol Hill at 1730 Minor Avenue North.
In the film Almost Famous, how old was Kate Hudson?
You’d swear you were looking at a young Goldie Hawn if you looked at Kate Hudson, who is 20 years old.
What is the origin of the band Stillwater?
Warner Robins, Georgia is a city in the state of Georgia in the United States.
The “almost famous stillwater songs” are the songs that were performed by the band Stillwater in the movie Almost Famous.

From Chef Gail Simmons’ cookbook, Bringing It Home, this hearty and colorful Winter Borscht is certain to warm up the coldest days. If you don’t have a food processor, simply quarter and thinly slice the beets and celery root. The beauty of this soup is it can be meat-friendly (by using beef broth and adding brisket) or vegetarian (by skipping the brisket).
Serves 6 to 8
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 dried bay leaves
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 medium beets, scrubbed (not peeled) and trimmed, then shredded using a food processor
1 small celery root, peeled and shredded using a food processor
1 large carrot (not peeled), thinly sliced into rounds
1 quart low-sodium vegetable broth
4 cups water
1/2 small red cabbage, cored and shredded (about 4 cups)
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 medium sweet potato (not peeled), cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Chopped fresh dill, for serving
Coarsely ground black pepper, for serving
Sour cream, for serving, optional
Shredded brisket, for serving, optional
1. In a 6- to 8-quart Dutch oven over medium-high, heat oil. Add the onion and salt and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Stir in the tomato paste, bay leaves, paprika, and caraway seeds to coat. Add beets, celery root, and carrot. Stir in the broth and 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 15 minutes.
2. Stir in the cabbage, apple, and sweet potato and bring to a simmer. Cook until the cabbage, apple, and sweet potato are just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and cook to blend flavors, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and discard bay leaves.
3. Serve hot, topped with dill, pepper, and oil. Add sour cream and brisket, if desired.

On June 10, 2021, a group of supporters of the South African Economic Freedom Fighters opposition party harassed and threatened reporter Ayesha Ismail and camera operator Mario Pedro, with the privately owned broadcaster eNCA, while they tried to cover an anti-racism protest in Cape Town, according to video of the incident shared on social media and Ismail, who spoke to CPJ via messaging app.
In that video, a group of people wearing clothes showing support for the Economic Freedom Fighters can be seen shouting at the journalists to leave the scene. One demonstrator says that the protesters “don’t want anything to do with eNCA” and “eNCA must leave…” and another, brandishing a stick, tells the journalists, “We are going to teach you a lesson; come forward here, I am going to teach you a good lesson.”
Ismail told CPJ that they left the scene amid the harassment, saying, “I am very sure that if Pedro and I did not retreat from the protesting EFF supporters we could have been harmed.”
In a statement, the South Africa National Editors’ Forum, an industry body of editors and senior journalists, condemned the intimidation and noted that the EFF has been hostile to eNCA since 2019, when the broadcaster refused to cover the party’s conference in solidarity with other news outlets that had not been granted accreditations.
Previously, on March 15, 2021, in Durban, EFF-affiliated students shoved and obstructed eNCA reporter Sli Masikane while she was covering a protest against student debt, according to news reports.
CPJ emailed EFF spokesperson Vuyani Pambo, and contacted him via messaging app for comment, but did not receive any replies.
Melikhaya Xego, the party’s chair for the Western Cape, denied that the EFF supporters had intimidated the journalists, saying it was “just unfortunate that there were a lot of people speaking at the same time, but we did not physically touch any journalist from eNCA,” according to reports.
Xego added that the party sought to “humble” eNCA after it pulled out of EFF’s conference in 2019, saying, “We can’t force them not to attend our protests and pressers, but we will not give them any interviews.”
Police spokesperson Thandi Mbambo referred CPJ’s queries to provincial police spokesperson Novela Potelwa. CPJ messaged Potelwa and repeatedly called her for comment, but did not receive any replies.
