“The O’Connell Street revitalisation plans published last week are a missed opportunity for Limerick, a fudge that will satisfy neither traders or the general public,” Cllr James Collins said.
“There has been talk of pedestrianisation and revitalising O’Connell Street for more than 20 years now. The Council looked at this in 2007, then again in 2016. What happened to the scores of public submissions for O’Connell Street pedestrianisation which were submitted in 2016? There were lots of good ideas and imaginative proposals submitted by members of the public in 2016, but I don’t see any of them reflected in the current proposals,” Cllr Collins, the Cathaoirleach of Limerick Metropolitan Council, said.
“It seems that in trying to satisfy all parties, we have again produced a fudge, a compromise that suits no-one. This plan should dovetail with our transport strategy, with our Project Opera plans, with the new UL riverside campus at Sarsfield Bridge, but instead it’s a bland plan, lacking any ambition,” Cllr Collins, a Fianna Fail general election candidate said.
“The latest proposals can’t be called pedestrianisation proposals. Neither will they lead to any significant revitalisation of O’Connell Street in my view because the proposals are far too conservative. Really what is being proposed here is reducing the size of traffic lanes to three metres each, and using the space to increase the width of footpaths. Adding 14 trees to O’Connell Street and widening some of the footpaths is a far cry from the pedestrianisation called for by many members of the public.”


WARSAW, Poland|Polska|European country|European nation} (AP) — A pro-European opposition coalition in Poland declared unexpectedly on Tues that its candidate for prime minister because the country heads toward associate Gregorian calendar month election are a deputy parliamentary speaker, instead of the most opposition leader.
The cause of Malgorzata Kidawa-Blonska was declared by Grzegorz Schetyna, the leader of Civic Platform, that is that the dominant party within the Civic Coalition.
It was long assumed Schetyna himself would be the opposition coalition’s choose for prime minister. however because the centrist coalition trails so much behind the nationalist conservative ruling Law and Justice party, it seems to be associate acknowledgement that Schetyna’s lack of recognition is pain its possibilities.
“I do not know however we tend to did not come back up with this sooner,” he told party members to laughter. He delineated Kidawa-Blonska, a former parliament speaker, as somebody UN agency “always worked for the great of Poland.”
In explaining the selection, Schetyna same that “people ar stern peace and customary sense and would love somebody to come back and skills to form all politicians reconcile.”
Kidawa-Blonska is that the great-granddaughter of Poland’s pre-World War II president, Stanislaw Wojciechowski, and prime minister, Wladyslaw Grabski.
Despite a string of scandals, the governing Law and Justice party has been rising within the polls due to standard social defrayment measures and a conservative outlook appreciated in rural areas, with support recently of over forty five %.
The Civic Coalition is that the country’s second largest political force, however trails so much behind, and was even slightly below twenty % in one recent canvass.
Jacek Kucharczyk, the top of the Institute of Public Affairs, a Warsaw-based think factory, referred to as sound Kidawa-Blonska a “smart move” and same it reminded him of once Law and Justice earlier than the 2015 election broached Beata Szydlo as its prime ministerial candidate. That was conjointly associate acknowledgement that party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski, although he had a loyal core of followers, was unpopular with several and pain the party’s overall possibilities.
Law and Justice won that election and Szydlo finished up serving as prime minister initially, replaced later with Mateusz Morawiecki, although Kaczynski has directed the govt. from behind the scenes the whole time.

The first of 66 A330neo aircraft for AirAsia X was delivered this weekend from Airbus. The aircraft will fly for the Thailand long-haul affiliate of the brand and is one of two expected to join the fleet this year.
Prior to the delivery the carrier displayed the aircraft at the Paris Air Show, allowing media to see the new interior during a walk-through.
The layout is roughly identical to the existing A330s, including the tighter 9-abreast seating to fit 365 economy class seats in the back.
Fortunately the economy legroom is not too tight, even as it is narrow.
The airline’s decision to maintain the interior layout speaks to the overall business model, focused on no frills and high volume turnover at lower prices. The lower operating costs drive the AirAsia push to the A330neo, allowing significant fuel savings and potentially a return to Europe. Tony Fernandes continues to tease that option, though details like which airport or timing remain scarce.

The Patricia Reser Center for the Arts will be a destination not just for the arts, but also a showcase for the fast-growing city of Beaverton.
The Center for the Arts will offer the diverse Beaverton community a world-class destination where residents will come together for the arts, as well as for civic and social events.
At Knot a Portland firm specializing in experiential graphic design, landscape architecture and ecological planning the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts allowed our design team the opportunity to work with Opsis Architecture on a meaningful project that will unveil Beaverton’s natural beauties through bold architecture and design.
As a cultural jewel for Beaverton, the center will include a 550-seat proscenium theater for concerts, theater and dance, and an art gallery, exhibit space and outdoor plaza. Under construction and due for completion in 2021, the center will be a catalyst for economic and cultural growth in a city seven miles west of Portland that tech firms and Fortune 500 companies have called home for several decades.
Located between Beaverton Creek and a major light rail station, Reser Center is conceived as a regional attractor and cornerstone of a vibrant new urban development comprised of retail, restaurants, 230 housing units, a 125-bed hotel, and parking structure.
Knot’s team of graphic designers worked closely with Opsis, exploring design narratives that will complement the natural beauty of the adjacent Beaverton Creek through the use of natural materials. Our design choices respond to the natural site components and to the unique architectural qualities that emerged from Opsis.
Central to our effort, according to Knot’s experiential designer Jill Boots, was the development of an experiential design program that would bridge the greatest elements of the building’s design with its unique environment. The solution, Boots said, was the creation of a layered and integrated wayfinding system that subtly weaves through the space, blending together communication and architecture.
Equally as essential is a custom set of graphic symbols supporting an inclusive and welcoming environment for the community, while an artful donor acknowledgment celebrates the beauty of the adjacent Beaverton Creek and local support for the center.
Through a series of collaborative visioning workshops, contextual research and iterative design experimentation with the city of Beaverton, its mayor and Opsis, Knot gained a deep understanding of the project narrative and context.
The ultimate driver for Knot’s design process, these collaborative discussions offered invaluable insight to the site’s ecological importance, the center’s architectural language and its immense urban and cultural value. The final design is the result of a shared vision that pulls together community, architecture, culture and landscape.
Jim Kalvelage, founding partner with Opsis, said the design of Reser Center for the Arts celebrates the attributes of both the urban and natural context while weaving together into a harmonious relationship.
“The irregular site geometry inscribed by Beaverton Creek and adjoining wetlands, the arc of Crescent Street and adjacent parking garage informs an organic and bold architecture,” Kalvelage noted. “Discrete program elements are oriented to either the urban or natural context and composed into a varied massing sheathed in natural materials with a high level of porosity. The multi-level lobby overlooks Beaverton Creek and opens up to the Arts Plaza and Crescent Street, a venue for art festivals and celebrations.”
The pedestrian-oriented Crescent Street will be activated by Reser Center’s entrance and lobby of the 550-seat theater, art gallery and conference space. The cantilevered upper volumes of the experimental performance lab, conference room, and administrative suite provide a prospect and covered sidewalk and plaza areas.
“The transformative impact of the Reser Center design will define the cultural heart of Beaverton as an activity hub throughout the day and evening,” Kalvelage added. “As a destination for residents and visitors, it will be a catalyst for development in this evolving Cultural District. The Reser Center will redefine the civic setting with its iconic glass lobby facing outward to the community as an illuminated lantern reflected in the water of Beaverton Creek and viewed from Hall Boulevard, a major vehicular arterial in Beaverton. The stage tower is conceived as a civic landmark and canvas that will be painted at night with illumination and projections announcing performances and community events as viewed from both near and distant approaches.”
This legacy and the site’s proximity to Beaverton Creek along with the city’s desire to integrate wood into the public spaces inspired the metaphor of the “Beaver Dam” an enveloping wood enclosure of engineered and artistic expression for the design of the lobby and theater.
The lobby wall and ceiling are sheathed in fir panels with layered and varied patterns of sticks that extend to the fir curtain wall, framing views of Beaverton Creek, Kalvelage said. Daylighting through the glass wall and skylight create a constantly changing shadow play. The theater’s encompassing wood interior comprised of fir boards and panels with an intuitive pattern of incisions support the seamless integration of acoustical and theatrical systems to create a visually warm and intimate relationship between the audience and performers.
In a city with considerable natural beauty to share, Patricia Reser Center for the Arts challenged designers at Knot to embark on their own journey of exploration and discovery.
Knot’s crafted approach to our experiential graphic design program for the center will result in a venue that artfully bridges urban and natural environments and will be a catalyst for decades of transformative urban growth.
Marilee Hanks, owner and principal of the Portland landscape architecture/experiential graphic design firm Knot, is passionate about shaping the human experience of place and reinforcing the natural systems that sustain us.

A letter demanding the Pangaimotu town water supply be connected to the home of convicted Australian businessman Ian Jones has upset Vava’u 14 residents.
Jones was convicted on June 20 of illegally dumping human waste in the mangroves near Pangaimotu.
He was fined TP$1000 and swimming and fishing in the sea near the mangroves has been banned.
Vava’u governor Lord Fakatulolo sent a strongly worded letter, which has been seen by Kaniva News, demanding the Pangaimotu town officer connect water to Jones’ residence.
Lord Fakatulolo said a herd of cows in Pangaimotu had damaged Jone’s water tanks.
He said Jones should have shot the cows.
A senior government officer in Vava’u raised local people’s concerns about the tone of the letter in e-mails sent to government ministers including the Acting Attorney General and some government lawyers.
The officer said some residents felt the tone of the letter refueled their disappointment after Jones dumped human waste.
It is understood the letter was sent on June 1 after the Pangaimotu authority refused to connect water from the island’s main water supply for Mr Jones.
The letter showed Lord Fakatulolo understood the dumping had infuriated the Pangaimotu residents, including people living in Toula, ‘Utungake, ‘Utulei, Talihau and Neiafu, for whom the sea around the mangroves was their only source of livelihood.
The letter greeted the town officer Tinitale Piukala, by saying this letter was to allow Jones to connect his water (“ngofua ke taki e vai ‘a Mr Ian Jones”).
The governor also warned (“fakatokanga”) Piukala that it could paint a bad picture between Tonga and their overseas donors if they knew Jones has been refused water from the island’s water supply.
Lord Fakatulolo also warned the town officer that the matter had been in court and that they should leave it to the court to handle.
He informed Piukala that he had told Jones to buy the necessary equipment so that his water could be connected.
He also told Piukala to charge Jones for any costs incurred for the connection.
“I am asking you and the Pangaimotu Water Committee to connect the palagi man’s water as soon as possible,” Lord Fakatulolo wrote in Tongan.
“I am concerned about our relationship with foreign donors not be affected,” he said.
He said it could be bad for them if overseas donors became aware they were not giving the palagi man water.

Evan Rathburn is on this list for his knockout regular season, but the Strasburg Express would not have advanced to the 2019 finals if he hadn’t been even better in the playoffs.
Rathburn, a 6-foot, 180 pound righthanded senior from Central Missouri, was the winning pitcher in back-to-back semi-final games against the Woodstock River Bandits, when the Express were hurting for arms and didn’t know exactly where their nine innings would come from. (Rathburn’s parents, Edwin and Eileen, were there to cheer him on… or nervously stand in the bleachers. One or the other.)
His stats for the season and playoffs:
Among pitchers considered for this list, he finished third in ERA, tied for seventh in BB/9, and eighth in K/9. He was not a postseason award winner, but still received a number of votes from team and media members. He gave up his only earned run in his third appearance, on June 30, and then ripped off 15 2/3 innings the rest of the season without allowing an earned run. (There were two unearned runs scored in the finals, on August 6, but they were not his fault.)
Here are Rathburn’s two seasons at Central Missouri:
In 2018, Central Missouri finished 39-17, but was even better in 2019, when the Mules went 46-16 in 2019, with a MIAA (Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association) and NCAA Division II Central Region Championship. The team finished in third place overall in Division II.
Rathburn attended Crowder College in 2017, but did not play.

Open an account in Sberbank. Open a bank account: instruction
In different periods of a person’s life, he thinks about the need to open a bank account. Options for why you may need an account are very diverse, starting with receiving money from relatives who are far away (or even abroad), and ending with the simple convenience of paying utility bills. The following are the main types of such financial services for the public and businesses that are available at any bank. It must be remembered that the conditions of registration differ from one financial institution to another, and it is necessary to look for exactly those that will be convenient for the client.
It is very easy to open an account with Sberbank with the condition that it is managed with a plastic card. Variants of the cards themselves, their capabilities, the currencies that are connected to them, and other elements are vast. Anyone can find the best deal,starting with the simplest and cheapest cards that allow you to simply make payments and pay in commercial networks, and ending with elite platinum cards that provide a huge number of various advantages. Some banks charge a small percentage to the balance on the card account, which also allows them to save money. In addition, many types of such means of payment make it possible to link them directly to electronic money, replenish them or withdraw them to a card.
They are usually meant when they want to open a currency account in Sberbank. An ordinary person in most cases absolutely no need to have a card with any other currency except rubles, but in case of such a need it is easier to open a regular current account, which is cheaper and guarantees the safety of funds in both domestic and foreign currency. With it, you can pay for the education of children, if it takes place in other countries, to make payments for goods or services provided by foreign companies that do not work with rubles, and much more. Most often the current account is not used as oftenas a card, and the need to manage it to be directly in the bank branch is not a special inconvenience.
Opening an account in Sberbank in order to receive income from its storage most often involves the registration of a deposit account. Just like regular current accounts, deposit programs are vast. Each of them focuses on a certain part of the population, helping not only to keep money in a safe place, but also to multiply it. Some clients need to place a large amount for a short period, while others want to put money in for a very long time and consistently receive income from them in the form of interest payments. After the birth of a child, some families practice opening a deposit account and gradually, each month, replenish it with a small amount, capitalizing interest. This is done specifically so that by the time children come of age, a certain amount has already been accumulated, which could be spent on his education, wedding, apartment, car or something else, depending on the situation in the family. The listed types of financial services are only a small part of what becomes available to an ordinary person if you open a bank account.
We should not forget that in order to receive both the deposit amount and interest, banks offer to issue a special plastic card, which, just like a regular one, can be used in retail chains, pay for goods and services on the Internet and perform other standard operations. Sometimes it depends on the amount of the deposit what level such a card will be, starting with the cheapest, impersonal and ending with elite plastic or gold.
Sberbank account for individual entrepreneurs
Accounts for individual entrepreneurs and legal entities are not very different from ordinary accounts for individuals. But due to the fact that they will be used directly for profit, the list of documents required to open an account with Sberbank to such persons significantly exceeds the requirements for individuals. For an ordinary person, in most cases, it’s enough just to present your passport to a citizen of the Russian Federation. Other documents are not required. Legal entity or individual entrepreneur is required to provide a certificate of state registration, paper, confirming the authority of the director,copies of constituent documents and articles of association (notarized), signature cards of both the director and the chief accountant, documents confirming registration with the tax and pension funds, a registration card confirming registration with the statistics authorities and a license directly for that type of activity, income from which will be credited to the account. In some cases, in order to open an account in Sberbank for an individual entrepreneur or legal entity, other documents may be required, especially if this account is intended to be used to service the loan in the future.
Special corporate cards are issued to the current account of legal entities, allowing an authorized representative of an enterprise to use a certain part of the total amount of an account for any needs of an organization. They are issued at the request of directly officials of the specified enterprise and in most cases are issued not in someone’s name, but in the name of the company. This was done so that in case of replacing this type of card, there was no need to completely redo the card and all documents for it, but you could simply provide papers confirming the new credentials of the employee.
Based on the above, it can be concluded that the number of individuals and legal entities available for opening accounts is enormous, and they completely (and even with a reserve) cover all possible needs of all categories of citizens and organizations. It should be noted that opening an account in Sberbank is often much easier than in other similar financial institutions, thanks to a well-designed service system, its speed, a huge number of branches in all cities and settlements of the country and trained personnel who are ready to advise certain services at any time. . Often, some customers simply do not suspect that their difficult situation can be easily resolved if you listen to the proposals of bank employees who are interested not so much in designing a large number of opportunities as in their profitability.

After running 31 yards on a designed quarterback keep in his only snap of Monday's showdown against the Ravens, Mariota will sit on IR for the next 3 weeks. He will be eligible to return Week 5 against the Bears. Expect Jon Gruden's golden boy, Nathan Peterman, to slide in as David Carr's primary backup.
Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor has a sprained MCL in his right knee, he said after the Raiders' 24-20 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday.
"My knee is banged up," he said.
"I've got a sprained MCL. It just got worse during the week. So I was just trying to come out and play and try to help the team but just didn't feel well today."
Pryor sprained the knee last week and said it got worse during the week leading up to the Giants game. Pryor added he couldn't get any push off his leg and couldn't explode in the passing game. The only other quarterback on the Raiders' active roster is undrafted rookie Matt McGloin out of Penn State, while fourth-round draft pick Tyler Wilson is on the practice squad. The Raiders worked out veterans David Carr, Trent Edwards and Pat White last month.
As the Giants began their week of preparation for the NFC Championship Game, quarterback Eli Manning left today's practice early with what coach Tom Coughlin called "a stomach bug."
"Hopefully it is just a 24-hour deal," Coughlin said, "and he’ll feel better tomorrow."
Manning was in meetings all morning, and he participated in the jog-thru period of practice and took a few reps, but was sent inside when he felt ill. Back-up David Carr took over and said he took about 75 percent of today's reps.

Kansas is often teased about being behind the times. But when it comes to women's voting rights, we can be proud that Kansas was an early adopter.
The 19th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which grants women the right to vote, was officially certified on Aug. 26, 1920. A public celebration of that 90th anniversary will be held Thursday at 7 p.m. at Wichita State University's Hughes Metropolitan Complex at 29th North and Oliver.
Kansas actually ratified the amendment more a year earlier, on June 16, 1919. It was the fourth state in the country to do so.
Kansas began debating suffrage even before it became a state. In 1859, Clarina I.H. Nichols and other suffragists tried to get the word "male" eliminated from the franchise clause of the new constitution of the Kansas territory. Though they were unsuccessful, Kansas did allow women to vote in local school elections beginning in 1861.
In 1867, Kansas was one of the first states to vote on whether to amend its constitution to give women the right to vote. The amendment failed, as did one allowing blacks to vote.
Kansas had a second referendum vote in 1894, which also failed. But on its third try in 1912, Kansas amended its constitution to allow women to vote — the eighth state to do so.
Kansas also was an early leader in helping educate and inform women voters. As a letter to the editor on this page notes, the nation's first local chapter of the League of Women Voters was formed in Sedgwick County in 1919.
As in Kansas, the national suffrage movement took decades of organizing and lobbying and demonstrating.
Carrie Chapman Catt, a national suffrage leader, estimated that the effort required "480 campaigns to get legislatures to submit suffrage amendments to voters, 47 campaigns to get constitutional conventions to write woman suffrage into state constitutions; 277 campaigns to get state party conventions to include woman suffrage planks, 30 campaigns to get presidential party campaigns to include woman suffrage planks in party platforms and 19 campaigns with 19 successive congresses."
This long struggle is as much what Thursday's celebration is about as the actual passage of the 19th Amendment. It's a lesson in persistence and bravery and hope provided by several generations of women — including, we can note proudly, many Kansans.

Bio-based polycarbonate from limonene oxide and CO2 with high molecular weight, excellent thermal resistance, hardness and transparency†
Completely bio-based, high molecular weight (>100 kDa) poly(limonene carbonate) (PLimC) with attractive thermal (glass transition temperature, Tg = 130 °C) and optical properties (transmission 94%, haze 0.75%) was prepared by coupling bio-based limonene oxide (LO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) using a β-diiminate zinc catalyst (bdi)Zn(OAc). The molar mass of the polymer could be controlled by changing the ratio of catalyst and monomer, keeping molar mass dispersities low. The synthesis of the LO with very high content (>85%) of trans-isomer and absence of impurities with hydroxyl functionality was also established, which was necessary to obtain a high molar mass of polymer and almost quantitative conversion of epoxide during polymerisation. The upscaled syntheses of both the monomer and the polymer (>1 kg per batch) were readily realised, suggesting an easy transfer to pilot plant scale. The polymerisation kinetics were studied suggesting a second order dependence on LO concentration, wherefrom a mechanism is proposed with an alternating insertion of LO and CO2. The effect of chain-ends on the thermal stability of PLimC was studied with a thermal desorption unit coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) experiments. PLimC with thermal stability as high as 240 °C could be achieved using appropriate end-capping agents. PLimC is characterised by excellent transparency and hardness.

Case
A 57-year-old woman with no noteworthy medical or surgical history underwent an interscalene block with bupivacaine in preparation for an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Following administration of the bupivacaine, the patient sustained a ventricular fibrillation arrest. After successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, she was diagnosed with Brugada syndrome. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was placed, and the rotator cuff repair was performed 1 month later.
Conclusion
Brugada syndrome is an abnormality of the cardiac conduction system that leads to cardiac arrhythmias. Several anesthetic agents trigger Brugada-like electrocardiographic abnormalities. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an interscalene block inducing Brugada syndrome.

Laser Hair Removal in Brampton: What Can I Expect
To figure out what to expect with laser hair removal in Brampton, it’s best to understand exactly what it is and how it works first. The good news is that it’s pretty simple! A laser beams highly-concentrated light into the skin that is picked up by the pigment in your hair follicle and then destroys the follicle. You can find laser hair removal services in most cities, including Brampton and other similar areas of Ontario.
Laser hair removal in Brampton is very flexible and is capable if treating a variety of areas, including legs, arm pits, face, arm, bikini line, and more. Treatments are precise and can target small areas without damaging surrounding areas. The laser focuses on an area about the size of a quarter, and sends out a pulse of in just a fraction of a second. This makes the treatment quick and effective. Small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in just a minute, with larger areas such as the full back or leg being able to be completed in about an hour.
The results will be permanent and may take anywhere from 3-7 treatments to achieve. Frequency will depend on certain factors, such as the coarseness of your hair and the surface area being treated. It is important to know that laser hair removal in Brampton works by destroying the root of the hair, which means if there is no root, there is nothing to destroy. This means that you cannot wax or puck the area prior to treatment, and it is recommended that you do not pluck or wax, or remove hairs in any other way for about 6 weeks leading up to your treatment.
Laser hair removal technicians in Brampton will also recommend that you avoid sun exposure to the area for about 6 weeks before and after treatment. Sun exposure can make treatments less effective, or can cause complications post-treatment. If this is a concern or problem for you, discuss this with your doctor ahead of time.
When being prepped for a laser hair removal treatment in Brampton, your hair will be trimmed down in the treatment area, and the laser will be adjusted to maximum efficiency based on the treatment area, skin colour and hair colour. A cooling gel or a cooling device will be used to help protect your skin and help the laser penetrate the treatment area.
The tech will likely do a pulse test or two to ensure the settings are optimal and that you do not have an adverse reaction to the treatment. Laser hair removal in Brampton will cause the surface of the skin to appear red and it will feel tender, like a sunburn, for a short time post-treatment. You may have to wait anywhere from 4-6 weeks between treatments.
Laser hair removal in Brampton will not cause your hair to disappear immediately. You will notice hair falling out or sloughing off naturally over the coming weeks without you having to do anything. You will likely need multiple treatments to ensure you’ve thoroughly removed all the hair in the area permanently.
Blisters and scarring may happen but are rare. Blisters are more commonly seen amongst those with darker complexions, but again, these are the rarer side effects. More commonly you will notice redness, minor swelling, and/or a temporary warming of the area treated with laser hair removal in Brampton.

Wednesday News Update: One-Stop-Shop Edition
Today in Memphis, restaurants close, restaurants open, a reader finds an innovative one-stop-shop, and "The Sandlot" turns 20.
This Instagram picture from @hollywood_i_am is an instant smile generator. If you'd like to see your Instagram photos here, tag them #ilovememphis.
– First, the sad restaurant news: The Butcher Shop's downtown location is closing on Oct. 26th to make way for a residential project. Their Cordova location will stay open. Also, Neely's Barbecue is taking a little break and closing their restaurants for renovations.
– But all is not lost: Balewa (aka, the guy who sells vegan food out of Sean's Cafe on Union) is opening his own restaurant in Crosstown.
– And if you needed even more good food news, lemon pepper wing devotee / rapper Rick Ross has opened a second Wing Stop franchise at Poplar and Perkins.
– Does this make anyone else feel old? The Redbirds are hosting a special screening for the 20th anniversary of "The Sandlot" at AutoZone Park on Oct. 19th. David Mickey Evans, the film's writer/director, will introduce the film.
– Here's one from an eagle-eyed reader: Craig M. sent me this picture from We Sell Tools at Summer and Kirby-Whitten. He writes: "In a moment of inspired brilliance the owner of We Sell Tools at Summer and Kirby-Whitten included a beer aisle in the tool store." It's his understanding that the shop is locally owned.
– Clean out your cabinets before you head to the downtown farmer's market this weekend: the market is collecting non-perishable food and unused personal care items for the Mid-South Food Bank on Saturday.

AGED just 21, Timothée Chalamet is tipped to be the youngest best actor Oscar nominee since Mickey Rooney in 1939 for coming-of-age gay romance Call Me By Your Name.
‘Oh wow, I haven’t seen anything like that,’ he says self-deprecatingly — the American exudes gangly charm. ‘What the journey’s been thus far, how well the film’s been received, has been a dream come true.’
As well as carrying the film, Call Me By Your Name also required Chalamet to speak Italian, play the guitar and piano, and repeatedly get sexually intimate with Lone Ranger star Armie Hammer.
‘I had already watched A Bigger Splash [by the same director, Luca Guadagnino] and the characters in that are so physically vibrant, particularly Ralph Fiennes [who memorably goes full-frontal skinny dipping], so I had no anxiety about the intimate close-ups,’ he says.
Born and raised in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, Timothée (who generally goes by ‘Timothy’, though it’s correctly pronounced ‘tim-oh-tay’ à la the former shampoo) is the son of a French Unicef editor (hence his name and fluent French) and an American dancer turned estate agent.
Following his big sister, he attended the LaGuardia ‘Fame’ school, where he was the year below his ‘great friend’, Ansel ‘Baby Driver’ Elgort. (‘Truthfully I went because I thought there’d be less academic work!’ he says.)
But it was Heath Ledger’s widely praised (and terrifying) turn as the Joker in The Dark Knight that made Chalamet desperately want to be an actor, so being cast as Matthew McConaughey’s son in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar was a personal career high. You may also know him for TV’s Homeland, in which he played the boyfriend of Brody’s daughter, and even for dating Madonna’s daughter, Lourdes — ask Chalamet about that and he just smiles and makes a zipping motion across his lips. He’s also currently shooting the new Woody Allen movie — cue more lip-zipping.
Despite this reticence, Chalamet insists he’s yet to feel his privacy has been much intruded upon.
‘I really don’t get bothered that often — if ever,’ he says.
With all the Oscars buzz surrounding Call Me By My Name, that’s surely set to change.This time next year Timothée Chalamet’s name will be on everyone’s lips. Feel smug you’ll know how to pronounce it.
Call Me By Your Name is in cinemas now

Today is turning out to be the best day for Pokemon fans around the globe. After the confirmation of Pokemon Sleep, we have more news from The Pokemon Company. In a recent announcement, it was revealed that a completely new Pokemon game is coming out. The game is called Pokemon Masters.
Pokemon Masters is a new game which has been developed by DeNA in a partnership with Nintendo and The Pokemon Company. The best part of announcement is that the game is going to be released in 2019. Now I know that a lot of people will be worried about the platforms of the game. There’s no need to worry as the game will be coming for Android and iOS.
The game is described as a new game that will allow the players to fight “alongside Pokemon Trainers from the main series RPGs.” In an announcement on their Twitter, Pokemon confirmed the game. Here is the tweet—
“Dreaming of becoming a Pokémon master? This is your time!
Get ready for Pokémon Masters, a new game that allows you to battle alongside your favorite Pokémon Trainers from the main series RPGs. #PokemonMasters” — @Pokemon
It has also been revealed that the idea for the game was provided by Ken Sugimori from Game Freak. It was revealed that Sugimori believed that it would be a good idea to have a Pokemon game which would have all the past and present Pokemon Trainers from the game series.
With the E3 set to start in the second week of June, The Pokemon Company will be sharing more information related to the game in June. Pokemon Masters will provide players with a new kind of experience when it comes to Pokemon battling. The addition of the popular Pokemon Trainers from the Pokemon video games will definitely provide fans with a feeling of nostalgia. The gameplay will be optimized to provide an enthralling experience.

Today's posting is a hodgepodge. Let me start
it by asking a question: If you could visit any time in the past, when would it be?
While reading Stacy's Schiff's
biography of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry along with his Wind, Sand and Stars1, I was struck by the
life-styles and morés of the first part of the 20th Century in France, so different, both here and abroad, of our own
early 21st Century. The reading of both books is reminding me of other aerialists, Charles Lindbergh and Amelia
Earhart2 as well as earlier pioneers, specifically Denys Finch-Hatton and Beryl Markham3. These two
led me to Out of Africa and Leaves of Grass4, a memoir written by Isak Dinesen, aka Baroness
Karen von Blixen, upon which the 1992 movie starring Robert Redford (Denys Finch-Hatton) and Meryl Streep (Isak Dinesen) was
based. This week I watched it again for probably the twentieth-umpti-umpteenth time and was, again, as always, transported
back to the years between 1910 and 1920, the time period that I would most wish to visit.
I would enjoy visiting
Karen’s farm at the foot of the Ngong Hills. I just might also enjoy—although I have long espoused slacks and
jeans—wearing a long, linen skirt topped with a starched white long-sleeved blouse graced by a tie, accessorized by
a wide-brimmed straw hat as I travel into town in a horse-drawn carriage driven by a Kikuyu houseboy. I’d enjoy riding
the plains on horseback, with large Russian wolfhounds galumphing alongside. And while I would not carry a rifle and would
certainly not kill anything living, I might even enjoy spending a warm night or two dining under the stars by a roaring fire
during safari; or spending long hours in an overstuffed chair listening to Karen relate one of her many stories. And, of course,
I’d wonder at the dawn skies as a newly-minted bi-plane flew overhead. Besides the time and the place, as I am sure
it is evident, I would have most wanted to meet Karen Christentze Dinesen.
In 1912, at the age of 27—she
was born on April 17, 1885—Dinesen married Bror Blixen, the brother of her then current paramour—he for her money,
she for his title—and immigrated from Denmark to Africa to run a coffee plantation, funded by her mother. The Baroness
continued to manage the farm after Bror left to pursue other salient interests—women and safari hunting. I need not
go into details. You can follow the basic plot by seeing the movie. To truly understand the subtle nuances and suggested references,
you really need to read two books: Isak Dinesen: The Life of a Storyteller by Judith Thurman—a remarkably scholarly
in-depth biography—and the subject’s memoir, Out of Africa and Leaves of Grass.
Her life in
Kenya between 1912 and 1931 were years shadowed by the threat and eventual onslaught of WWI, presged by events that led to
WWII. It was an era of stalwartness and change, bookended by gentility and harshness—real life “stuff” of
which both pleasant dreams and stark nightmares are made. It was an era of dressing for dinner in shimmering frocks frilled
with lace and wide satin-lapelled tuxedos; sipping drinks on patios while listening to Mozart played on a gramophone; high
tea under porch fronds with visitors who bring on horseback gifts of meat and foreign delicacies. It was a time of lasting
friendships, as well as fleeting encounters with nomadic natives; a time to assist the growth of a country, a time to practice
laissez-faire. And to think that Dinesen was in the middle of it all! Thank goodness she had the hindsight—and the talent—to
write about it.
While Dinesen and von Blixen were beginning their coffee plantation on the high plains of Africa,
the nightmares of over 3,000 people were unfolding in the northern Atlantic Ocean. As we all know, this weekend somberly celebrates
the Centennial anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic—at the time the largest and most luxurious passenger
ocean liner in the world.
Two books and a story come to mind. One is the fabulous Dirk Pitt novel, Raise the
Titanic! by one of my most favorite adventure writers, Clive Cussler. He has penned more than twenty-one novels that
relate the daring-do adventures of, well, one of the most sexiest men in literature. While categorized as fiction, this book
is, in fact, based upon true accounts of the original search for the remains of the Titanic , still lying nearly
two miles deep under cold, oceanic waters5. The second book, A Night to Remember, by Walter Lord, recounts
the terrifying two and a half hours between when the mammoth ship first slammed into the iceberg and finally upended and ingloriously
sank. This, too, was, in 1957, made into what is now a classical and essential movie6.
My own story?
Well, a number of years ago, I attended the exhibit of Titanic artifacts hosted by the Franklin Institute. At the
beginning of the “tour”, I—like all other visitors—was handed a boarding slip of a real passenger
or crew member. At the end of the exhibit, we could compare the names with those on an “honor wall” to see whether
we survived. I—the teacher of music to Teddy Roosevelt’s children in the White House—did. However, I scanned
the wall to see if there were other names that I would also recognize.
My father’s name was listed under
Crew. Thomas Vincent McInerney. Deceased. I certainly did not expect to see it! Whoever this “McInerney” was,
he didn’t make it—having been sealed up in the bowels of the drowning ship while stoking the boiler. He died along
with countless others in steerage who also suffered the same ignoble fate. Needless to say, I went white as a ghost—having,
of course, come nearly face-to-face with what turned out to be, according to urban legend, one of my ancestors. Stoker/Fireman
McInerney, as my research has since uncovered, was born in Ireland, but had immigrated to Liverpool, seeking work with the
White Star (now Cunard) Line. He was originally slated to sail with another ship, but because of a coal shortage, was shunted,
like many other employees and passengers, to the Titanic., thus sealing his—and their—fate.
Of course, this wasn’t my father, but his great-uncle
and, if I counted correctly, my great-grand-uncle, for whom my father, so I am told, was named. Ancestral records indicate
that generational children of the McInerney clan were all given the same names—Thomas, Joseph, Vincent, Harry, Margaret,
Gaynell, Douglas—so I am assuming that this “myth” could quite easily be true. And, so
you see, I have a connection—albeit sadly—to the main events of 1912, which makes this weekend for me all the
more poignantly meaningful.
Well, this has been a potpourri, isn’t it? A motley stew of books and movies—and
stories—about what, to my mind, are events and lives in history that should be honored and remembered during this gloriously
and, finally, warm spring weekend.
5 Apparently, Cussler, founder of NOMA (National Organization of Marine Archaeology), partook of that search. I have and
have read just about every book Cussler has ever written and am looking forward to escaping into his latest Isaac Bell novel,
The Thief (Putnam, Inc., New York, NY)
take the time to pause, reflect, and remember. And may you forever enjoy the books and/or movies you are
currently reading and watching. May they, too, be, for you, an olio of poignancy.
1 Wind, Sand and Stars is not so much an adventure story, but a philosophical view of aviation--the artistry of it,
its pioneers--co-mingled with a few of the author's experiences. It's a fine memoir. Like all good literature, it is one read
to savor; its reflections to ponder.
2 Apparently, there is yet still to be another search for her and
her navigator, Fred Noonan, who were lost while trying to land on Howland Island. A piece of strut, a shoe heel, and a few
other personal items believed to be that of Earhart’s was found on what is now Gardner Island, about 300 miles southwest
of Howland. It is there that modern investigators believe she and Noonan actually landed and lived as castaways.
Markham was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, East to West. She, too, is an author, having penned West with
the Wind, and is the subject of a documentary of the same name.
4 I have a rusty trade paperback,
a Vintage International Edition, published in October of 1989 and acquired from a local bookstore in July, 1992. This is the
third or fourth version of Out of Africa in my library. A large-print edition, still retained, and still well-read,
bears the well-chewed marks of my first Basset, FrankieA. My first edition copy of Thurman’s biography was a yard sale
acquisition in 1982—$2.00 paid for what I understand is now worth many, many, many times more.
6 For an interesting insight into why
we are so fascinated by the story of the sinking of the Titanic, please refer to Daniel Mendelsohn’s article,
Unsinkable: The Titanic as Myth, in the April 16, 1012 issue of The New Yorker Magazine (New
York, NY). The premise states that of all the events and people in modern history, the most written about are Jesus
Christ, the American Civil War, and the Titanic. This issue also contains a wonderful fictional short story, Transatlantic,
by Colum McCann—a beautiful rendered tale about two pilots who dared, after WWI to be the first
to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.

A dear friend, Betty, prefers biographies
over novels. She'd rather read about the interesting life of a real person instead of the fictional account of an imaginary
character. In some respects, I tend to agree with her; provided the biographer is writing about another author. My adage is
that the more one knows about a writer, the more one can more thoroughly enjoy his/her books.
For as long as I
can remember, The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
(1900-1944) was my most favorite read. A well-worn and tattered hard copy of it graced the top shelf of our hall secretary
and, religiously, I would take it down to read it each Christmas. I became particularly enamored of it when I read the original
French edition during my Senior year in high school. Two years ago, I purchased for myself The Little Prince Deluxe Pop-Up Book, a delightful rendition, first published in 2009 by HMH Books (ISBN: 978-547-26-69-3). The unabridged text was translated
by Richard Howard, and the creative three-dimensional pop-ups are exact renditions of the original illustrations by Saint-Exupéry.
Even without the drawings and the pop-ups, the story—written in 1943, just a year before the author was shot down over
the Mediterranean by German reconnaissance planes at the tender age of forty-four—is a triple treat of allegories, adult
whimsy, and uncanny prophetic text.
What I have just recently come to learn was that Saint-Exupéry —who
was an avid aviator—not only wrote The Little Prince, but penned a
number of other books and novels before it. Most notably, Wind, Sand and Stars1, a memoir based upon his experiences serving on a French airbase in the Sahara Desert shortly after World War
I. This and other intriguing facts of Saint-Expuéry 's life are increasing my once limited knowledge and appreciation
of this enigmatic author.
And how am I arriving at this knowledge? By reading Saint-Exupery: A Biography by Stacy Schiiff, a noted American biographer who, among others, penned the internationally acclaimed biography of Cleopatra
in her 2010 best seller, Cleopatra: A Life 2. Schiff is both a scholarly and talented
writer, who has the rare ability of translating what could easily be dry, dull facts into spritely, interesting, and often
amusing anecdotes. Her book about Saint-Expuéry reads very much more like a novel than it does a chronicle of his life.
As a child, as well as a young adult, Saint-Exupéry (pronounced sant-ex-ooo-per-ee)
was precocious, vane, and spoiled—although he did possess a innocent tenderness and a highly intelligent willfulness.
He was disorganized—his room was always a disheveled mess, strewn with all sorts of papers and paraphernalia—yet
dog-mindedly determined to learn to fly airplanes. At the age of twenty-one, while serving his required stint as a member
of the ground crew in the aviation branch of the French military, he persuaded his superiors to allow him to take flying lessons,
funded—as was just about everything else his life—by his widowed mother, Madame de Saint-Exupéry, an almost
impoverished member of the French upper-crust. Saint-Exupéry himself carried the ancestral title of Comte (Count), which he rarely used.
It was his love of aviation, as well as his passion for
reading and writing, that launched (pun intended) his literary career during which he penned and illustrated nine books—including
The Little Prince—whose themes and motifs center around his experiences as a pilot. If you read a bit of Schiff's biography—I
am about a third of the way through, having started it Saturday afternoon, found it intriguing, spent most of yesterday reading
it, and intend on finishing by the end of this week (having gluttonously ripped through This
Much I Know is True in just three days last week)—and then read The
Little Prince, you will come to realize that it is not just a children's story, per se, but is a symbolic, satirical
allegory that pokes fun at adults and adult society—specifically that of Saint-Exupéry during the first half
of the last century. And if you continue on with Wind, Sand, and Stars,
you will come to appreciate all the more so his writings that espouse his love of flying.
Schiff has an uncanny
ability to bring her subjects back to life with her very easy-flowing style of writing, replete with salient details backed
by intense and well-documented research. She is, and rightly so, the recipient of numerous awards, grants, and accolades,
including the Pulitzer Prize for Vera (Mrs Vladimir Nabokov). While I
am finding Cleopatra: A Life more of a scholarly, historical rendition of Cleopatra's life—although there are some tongue-in-cheek moments—I
am finding Saint-Exupery: A Biography a more entertaining and jocularly exuberant read, much like the personality of the tall, stalwartly-built, blond young man
about whom, it seems, she has so lovely and lovingly written. Although, Schiff does at times get bogged down in overly-detailed
text, which I am learning to skim over.
Reading most of her passages, however, I can easily picture Saint-Exupéry
in my living room: his huge frame slouched in his characteristically chic-bordering-on-almost-shabby attire in an overstuffed
easy chair, munching on cheese-stuffed croissants—a ream of papers upon which he has just scribbled and drawn strewn
haphazardly around his feet. He is about to relate to me yet another daring and fascinating flying feat—one of the many
that crammed his brief, but adventure-filled life—as told through and by an equally gifted storyteller3.
It is, indeed, a pleasure to read about one of my most favorite authors, whose life is written by one of my more
favorite biographers. Both of them together comprise a regal double-sweet treat.
1 I have
a trade paperback edition, published in 1992 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company, Orlando, FL. The translation
into English is by Lewis Galantière, and has been cited by The National Geographic
Society as a "top ten adventure book of all time". Also purchased for Christmas 2010, I intend, after
I finish Schiff's biography, upon reading it to ascertain if this claim is true for me.
2 ©2010 by Stacy
Schiff. Little Brown and Company, Hachette Book Group, New York, NY. This first edition was Christmas 2010 gift. It is a very
revealing read of the life of one of the most famous and intriguing women in history. I am dabbling into this one, reading
in it in fits and starts since January of last year. I am, again, a third of the way through it, but intend to finish—and
maybe blog about—it this summer.
3 The more I read about him, I am not so sure that if I actually met him, that I would like Saint-Exupéry as a
companion, so much as I now enjoy his company as an author.

The truly defining aspects of this Tahitian pearl pendant are its unique shape and EXCEPTIONAL peacock overtone. It dazzles with a sheen comprised of striking green and purplish notes. Literally “topping it off” is a machine-formed flower-shaped crown made of heavily electroplated steel studded with sparkling cubic zirconia stones, guaranteed to last you a long time with regular wear.
It has one distinct “fish bite” around the ring (a characteristic often seen in Tahitian pearls). Such imperfections are Mother Nature’s hallmark, which she happily stamps upon her precious creations.
Pearl is sized at 12mm.

Lumos performed survey, geotechnical, structural, and civil design services to facilitate the development of a 72,000-square-foot manufacturing and warehouse facility just outside of Carson City. This project was delivered as a design-build, requiring Lumos and the architect to work closely with the contractor and subcontractors throughout the design and permitting process. The project development consisted of site grading, traffic circulation, loading dock, parking lot, drainage infrastructure, and on-site utilities (water, sewer, electrical, and storm).
Project challenges included managing the earthwork balancing and grading due to the steep site as well as water main upgrades to facilitate fire flow demands of the project.
The project has been permitted and is breaking ground for construction with Lumos performing construction assistance, staking, material testing, and special inspections.

If you’re a fan of fresh garlic and wish to have a continuous supply year-round, growing garlic in water is a simple and rewarding method to achieve just that. By following a few straightforward steps, you can sprout garlic cloves, nurture them in water, and eventually transplant them into soil for a continuous cycle of growth and harvest. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough of the process, enabling you to enjoy homegrown garlic straight from your kitchen. Whether you have a green thumb or are a beginner gardener, growing garlic in water is an accessible and satisfying way to maintain a constant supply of this versatile ingredient.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Garlic bulb
- Container (glass or jar)
- Sunny location
- Potting mix (optional if you plan to transplant)
Step 1: Selecting the Garlic Bulb Choose a large, healthy garlic bulb from a reputable source. Look for firm bulbs with unblemished cloves. Avoid bulbs that show signs of damage or disease.
Step 2: Preparing the Garlic Cloves Separate the cloves from the bulb, but make sure to keep the papery skin intact on each clove. This will protect the cloves during the sprouting process.
Step 3: Placing the Cloves in Water Fill a container, such as a glass or jar, with water. Submerge the garlic cloves in the water, ensuring that the pointed ends are facing up. Place the cloves close together but not touching.
Step 4: Providing Sunlight Place the container in a sunny location where the garlic cloves will receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. A windowsill or a well-lit area of your home works well. Sunlight is crucial for the growth of healthy green shoots.
Step 5: Changing the Water Every 2-3 days, change the water in the container to prevent stagnation and ensure a fresh supply of nutrients for the growing garlic. Carefully pour out the old water and replace it with clean water.
Step 6: Monitoring Growth Over time, you will notice roots emerging from the bottom of the cloves and green shoots growing from the top. The roots will appear first, followed by the shoots. Be patient, as it may take a few weeks for significant growth to occur.
Step 7: Transplanting (Optional) If you prefer to grow the garlic in soil rather than water, you can transplant the sprouted cloves. Once the shoots reach a height of 2-3 inches and the roots are well-developed, carefully remove the cloves from the water and plant them in well-draining potting mix or directly in your garden. Plant the cloves with the shoots facing upward and cover them with soil, leaving the shoots exposed.
Step 8: Harvesting and Replanting Allow the garlic plants to grow until the leaves turn yellow and begin to dry out. This indicates that the bulbs are mature and ready for harvest. Carefully dig up the bulbs, brush off excess soil, and store them in a cool, dry place.
To maintain a continuous supply, save a few of the harvested bulbs for replanting. Repeat the process by selecting healthy cloves, placing them in water, and allowing them to sprout. By replanting harvested bulbs, you can enjoy a constant cycle of growing and harvesting garlic.
Remember to monitor the plants regularly, provide adequate water and sunlight, and make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal growth.

On May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens, an active volcano formed 40,000 years ago, erupted with the force of a 26-megaton hydrogen bomb, killing 57 people as it created the largest landslide ever recorded.
The column of ash rose 80,000 feet and deposited ash in 11 states. Hundreds of square miles were reduced to wasteland, causing over $1 billion in damage (equivalent to over $3 billion as of 2018), thousands of animals were killed, and Mount St. Helens was left with a crater on its north side.
According to the website for Pinchot National Forest, “Shaken by an earthquake measuring 5.1 on the Richter scale, the north face of this tall symmetrical mountain collapsed in a massive rock debris avalanche. In a few moments, this slab of rock and ice slammed into Spirit Lake, crossed a ridge 1,300 feet high, and roared 14 miles down the Toutle River.”
Once a moonscape, the mountain, and area around it, is now a recovering landscape with wildflowers, waterfalls, creeks, and incredible views along dozens of trails hiking trails, as well as at the visitor center.
The visitor center, perched on a hill scorched by fiery ash and the force of the blast, is a stunning place to see the recovering mountain, see smoke still venting, and learn about the eruption and the aftermath. The visit center is only 62 miles, about 1 hour – 30 minutes from Portland. A movie shown in the visitor center is something everyone has to see, as well as the surprise that follows.
- Grab a ride-share car.
Follow I-5 N to WA-504 E/Mt St Helens Way NE in Castle Rock. Take exit 49 from I-5 N52 min (56.4 mi). Turn right onto WA-504 E/Mt St Helens Way NE and follow it 5.2 miles to the Visitor Center and overlook.Note: seniors with national park passes are free.


Ryan Atkins set to make second Wakefield Trinity debut in crunch relegation clash with London Broncos
EXPERIENCED CENTRE Ryan Atkins is in line to complete his return to Wakefield Trinity for their relegation decider against London Broncos on Friday night.
The 33-year-old made the move back to Belle Vue at the beginning of August but has been sidelined by a hand injury.
However, head coach Chris Chester expects Atkins to be fit for Friday night's decider against London.
"Ryan Atkins will play next week, he will give us some punch out of yardage," confirmed Chester.
"He is an experienced player and he has played in some big games and it is probably what we have been lacking in the last few weeks.
"Fingers crossed we have not got any other issues and hopefully we will have Ryan Atkins out there this week for us."
Atkins made his Wakefield debut in 2006 before leaving for the Wolves at the end of the 2009 campaign.
He spent 10 years with Warrington before making the switch back to Wakefield earlier this year.
The former England international received a farewell from the Warrington fans ahead of Trinity's 23-16 loss last week.
Danny Kirmond was withdrawn after half an hour in Wakefield's battling defeat to Warrington last Friday, never to return.
Chester feels that the forward will recover in time for Friday's clash but doesn't expect any more injured players to make a late comeback.
"He has been struggling with a back injury. With the short turnaround he was touch and go," added Chester on Kirmond's withdrawal.
"He cut his warm-up short and the physio said he was no good but he played that first bit.
"He couldn't lift his left leg so it is some kind of nerve issue with Kirmo. He came off and that had a big effect on the interchange.
"But I thought Adam Tangata filled in really well in the back-row and I thought both back-rowers were fantastic."
Wakefield's clash with London will kick off at 7.45pm on Friday and has been selected for coverage on Sky Sports.

“She’s not just young fleet fingers; she has a real feel for the dynamics and drama, AND the history that makes it make sense as music…I’m not really crazy about young people who can play a bunch of licks, but I’m terrifically impressed when someone knows so much music.” – Review of Sarah’s performance at NW Folklife by Chico Schwall
Sarah was fortunate to learn from previous generations of old time fiddlers in the Pacific Northwest and is proud to carry that music on to audiences everywhere from the Northwest Folklife Festival and Benaroya Hall. She recreates the music of the 1800s for living history museums such as the Job Carr Cabin and Fort Nisqually, and in more recent history, was listed in the Top Ten Best Local Musicians for Evening Magazine’s Best of the Northwest 2014.
I began to ask why do we tell stories? What drives people of every time and place to gather together, whether it’s around the primal fires of ancient caves or prime time television, for this shared experience of story? And what do the stories we tell, tell about us? – Excerpt from Telling Stories by Sarah Comer
A gifted storyteller, Sarah has brought new life to old tales at the annual Bonfires Beaver Pelts and Boogeymen Halloween storytelling event, Pioneer Days, and most recently her one-woman show Telling Stories, where she explored common themes in folktales and the ways storytelling has changed – and in other ways stayed the same – across the centuries.
Folk Art Facilitator
“…and tonight was especially delightful… playing music and watching Sarah orchestrate a disparate crowd of relative strangers of all ages into a cohesive dancing whole…” – Greg B., Member of the Dusty Strings Dance Band
Whether it’s music, storytelling or dance, Sarah believes the greatest thing about the folk arts is how they bring people of all ages and backgrounds together. In a world of Twitter and selfies, Sarah’s mission is to help people to take a step away from the smart phone and towards their neighbors by facilitating community through the arts. If you’d like some folk dancing taught in your neighborhood let her know.


Wildcard entrant Surbhi Rana has taken the Bigg Boss 12 house by storm ever since she entered the show. The MTV actress has been creating a lot of chaos inside the task. I must say, she leaves no stone unturned to make the show interesting and entertaining. The Salman Khan-hosted controversial reality show is halfway through. However, from fights, romances, heartbreaks to controversies, we have witnessed a lot more drama already. Recently, in the captaincy task, the contestants were asked to reveal their darkest secrets, while the captain contenders had to identify whose secret would it be. Though the task was a lot of fun, it didn't go down well with few of the housemates, leading to an ugly war of words. Bigg Boss 12: Salman Khan Proves Sreesanth And Jasleen Matharu Were Lying About Surbhi Rana Smoking Inside The House – Watch Video
As we know, Surbhi is the reason for most of the fights in the house, the housemates want her out of the house. In a recently released video on Colors' Twitter handle, Salman Khan, who is upset with the housemates for their ugly behaviour, is seen asking the contestants what are they up to, while Anup Jalota requests Salman Khan to bid adieu to Surbhi Rana from the show.
Catch the video here:
