Miley Cyrus & Patrick Schwarzenegger's Siblings Are Dating Too, Which Is Either Really Great News Or Really Terrible News

Ah, siblings. As any older sibling can tell you, every younger sibling goes through a period in their life when all they want to do is emulate the older one. As any younger sibling can tell you, this phase doesn't last as long as the older one thinks. However, it's pretty rare that the script gets flipped and it's the older siblings that start emulating the younger ones — which is the case for Patrick Schwarzenegger. According to TMZ, Cyrus and Schwarzenegger's siblings are allegedly dating, which is no big deal, you know, except for the fact that Cyrus and Schwarzenegger were already dating when it happened. I mean, Cyrus has met the Terminator and everything, so it's pretty serious. The fact that her younger brother is now dating Schwarzenegger's older sister is pretty awkward.

Yes, that's right. Braison Cyrus, 20 years old, is reportedly dating Christina Schwarzenegger, 23 years old, and their hook up began an alleged month after Miley and Patrick started dating. Is it true? Is it false? Who even knows with celebrities these days? All we really have for evidence is a TMZ report and pictures posted to Braison's Instagram of himself and Christina acting like either close friends or total lovers. (That line is blurred so often in the media when applied to Hollywood. All I know is that if the two are dating, then they're adorable.)

But, like I said, dating the sibling of your sibling's boyfriend can get really awkward really fast. I mean, it's unsurprising that Braison and Miley might be attracted to two members of the same family — especially such a good looking family — but I feel as though it's just a sibling rivalry waiting to happen. There's a potential for a lot of good here, sure, but there's also the potential for a whole lot of bad. So, regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, let's examine the pros and cons of Miley and Patrick's siblings dating. After all, who knows when we ourselves will end up in this position and need to use Miley's life as a learning tool for what to do?

PRO: Double Dates Will Be Crazy Fun

A common side effect of getting a boyfriend is being really, really bad at managing your time. Friends and siblings tend to fall by the wayside when young love is fresh, something that must be even worse considering how busy Miley is otherwise. However, Christina dating Braison means that Miley can spend time with her brother and her boyfriend at the same time thanks to the magic of the double date. How fun is that?

CON: Double Dates Will Be G-Rated

I'm not saying that double dates should be hot and heavy anyway considering no one wants to watch you and your boyfriend make out, but Miley might be self-conscious about packing on the PDA with her little brother right there. I know she Can't Be Tamed and waggles her tongue on stage on the best of days, but there's a difference between that and getting handsy with Patrick while Braison clenches his eyes shut and wishes he was anywhere but here.

PRO: They Could Have a Double Wedding

Yeah, yeah, yeah, a wedding is one of those hallmark events in a person's life, but you know what would make that special day even more special? Sharing it with your sibling. Plus, then your parents only have to pay for one wedding and you can celebrate your wedding anniversary on the same day — doubly so if your husbands forget it entirely, leaving you to pop champagne with your sibling and wonder why you married into this stupid family.

CON: Because If Not, Who Gets Married First?

A double wedding is your only option if you and your sibling are dating members of the same family. I mean, do you really want to be the one who married their brother-in-law? Do you?

PRO: Advice Is Super Easy to Give

If Braison ever needs advice on a romantic issue that crops up between himself and Christina, then he can just go straight to Miley. After all, she knows a thing or two about dating Schwarzeneggers and can pinpoint what quirks are unique to Christina and what quirks are a family thing. Boom, instant conflict resolution.

CON: Your Fights Are Their Fights

AFP/AFP/Getty Images

When Miley and Patrick fight, Christina and Braison will be forced to take sides or not talk about it at all. When Christina and Braison fight, Miley and Patrick will be forced to take sides or not talk about it at all. And if one of the couples breaks up messily, how is the other couple supposed to handle that? Awwwwkward.

RESULTS: Yeah, Maybe Just Don't Do It

Seriously, I hope for Miley and Patrick's sake that this rumor is just a rumor.

How Did Emma Stone React to Her Oscar Nomination? There are Plenty of Gifs That Will Help Explain

One of my imaginary best friends, Emma Stone, was nominated for an Oscar for Birdman on Thursday, and I could not be happier for her. Stone in Birdman is perfection, which may have you asking, "When is she not perfection?" (Answer: never.) But the recognition for her work in this film is extremely exciting. Another incredible thing about Stone's nomination is that she is in a category with Hollywood legends like Meryl Streep, so it's safe to say that Thursday morning is probably a very overwhelming one for her.

Here's the rub, Emma Stone isn't a big Twitter person. Usually, to find out what she was thinking about the nomination, one would go directly to her Twitter page, or an Instagram maybe, to see how she is reacting to the news this morning. Did she wake early to hear the nominations, or did she play it cool and just sleep-in and have her perfect boyfriend, Andrew Garfield, tell her the news when she woke up? What is she thinking?

Fortunately for us, Stone is a very GIF-able person, and we can probably guess how she is reacting right now from past moments of awesomeness. While nothing can be confirmed, here is how Stone is probably reacting to her Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress in Birdman.

Should I Watch the Announcements?

This is Taking Forever

Hell, Yeah! Birdman is Killing It

OMG, This is It. This. Is. It.

Is Chris Pine Going to Say My Name?

Wait. Did I Hear Him Right? He Did Said Emma Stone, Yes?

It's Sinking In...

It Has Sunk In!

Are You Excited, Emma?

This Day is Going to Rule

Justin Bieber Reacts to 'SNL' Parody With His New Favorite Chiller-Than-Thou Response

As a true social media burn expert, the Biebs works in sarcastic abbrevs like many artists work in oil paints. With three simple letters, Justin Bieber responded to the Saturday Night Live parody of his Calvin Klein ads in the same way that he answered the photoshop controversy concerning those ads. The letters? LOL.

If you haven't seen the SNL parody of the Bieber-centered (and potentially photoshopped) Calvin Klein ads that aired this weekend, do yourself a favor and remedy that immediately. In a somewhat surprising turn of events, Bieber appreciated Kate McKinnon's dynamite swaggy impression just as much as you did. On Sunday, Bieber commented on a tweet referring to the #mycalvins sketch, saying simply "Well played. Lol." With this tweet, the Biebs is establishing a bit of a pattern on how to respond to the critics.

After all, this isn't his first rodeo when it comes to LOL-ing at those who lampoon him. Following the speculation of Justin Bieber's penile area being photoshopped in his CK ads, Bieber's representation allegedly threatened a gossip site with legal action. Later on, Bieber posted a shirtless bathroom selfie with the caption "Photoshop. Lol" simultaneously responding to the photoshop rumors with a photo of his abs, and attempting to show that he was totally laid back about the whole thing. His response to the response to the sketch echoes the same 'tude.

See?! Bieber's got a sense of humor about himself!!! HE'S LOL-ing TOO, SEE?!?!

With a Bieber burn, it's all about the seeming chillness that allows him to maintain the veneer of a sense of humor. But between the lines, the message is basically "Hey, guys. I hear you talking about me. Don't you feel dumb that I was standing here the whole time, listening?" That's the beauty of the LOL. It's a multi-layered, ultra-nuanced form of passive aggressive shorthand.

What Would Happen If We Didn't Raise the Debt Ceiling? 3 Catastrophic Results

Republicans and Democrats are reportedly closer to a deal that would raise the debt ceiling. We’ll believe it when we see it. As of Tuesday morning, two different funding bills were being discussed, one from the Senate and one from the House, but the House plan fell through around midday. Still, the prospect of a solution to this whole insane, manufactured fiasco is very encouraging, because the results of a debt ceiling breach would be awful. The reasons why are numerous; we’ve limited it to three. First, though, a bit of background on what exactly the debt ceiling is, and what it means to breach it.

What's the Debt Ceiling, Actually?

When the United States authorizes more in spending than it receives in tax revenue — which is usually the case — it has to borrow money to make up the difference. In most democracies, the authorization to borrow that additional money is granted automatically whenever legislation that contains new spending is passed. But the United States is different.

In 1917, Congress set a limit as to how much the U.S. government could legally borrow; that’s the debt ceiling. As the country racks up more and more debt — that is, as Congress authorizes more and more spending — that limit has to be periodically raised, or else we can’t pay for all of the things the government has committed to pay for.

The debt limit only applies to spending already authorized by Congress — for example, Social Security. It doesn’t affect the ability of the government to authorize additional spending. The debt ceiling also authorizes the U.S. Treasury to pay bills that Congress, by way of passing legislation, has already incurred.

If it seems silly to you that Congress votes on a bill that contains spending and then, later, has to vote again to authorize that spending, you’re right. It is considered silly, which is one reason why no other constitutional democracy on the planet — except for Denmark — has a system like this.

The debt ceiling currently stands at $16.699 trillion. If Congress doesn’t lift it before this Thursday, the U.S. treasury won’t be able to borrow any more money to make payments that Congress has already authorized. This could — or will, as increasingly seems the case — have far-reaching consequences. Here's what would happen:

1. People Won’t Get Paid

The most direct consequence of a debt ceiling breach would be that a ton of people wouldn’t get money they’ve been expecting and relying on. The myriad of payments that the Treasury authorizes every day — Social Security payments, Medicare reimbursements for doctors, bills from defense contractors — would eventually just stop being processed.

This has never happened before, and so it’s unclear how the Treasury’s computer system would handle this. Eventually, though, people would stop getting paid. These people include active-duty military personnel, Social Security recipients, veterans, doctors who treat Medicare patients, millions of employees at government agencies, employees at private companies that the government contracts and even bondholders.

This might not happen immediately. Come October 17th, the Treasury will have approximately $30 billion on hand to pay outstanding debts. That might sound like a lot, except for the fact that the Treasury often spends as much as $60 billion in a single day on outstanding bills. After this $30 billion is exhausted, it will have to rely on incoming tax revenue, but that’s only expected to cover 68 percent of outstanding payments for the next month.

Here, for some perspective, is a list of upcoming bills the Treasury faces after October 17th, courtesy of the Bipartisan Policy Center.

2. Things Will Get More Expensive, And What You Already Have Will Be Worth Less

The failure to pay off bondholders is what’s most worrisome to many economists, as that would have ripple effects throughout the world economy, which is premised on the notion that Treasury bonds are the safest place to stick one’s money.

If bondholders aren’t getting paid anymore, the expected result would be a sell-off of bonds, as they’d suddenly be perceived as a less secure investment. This would in turn cause interest rates to rise, which would have wide-reaching and unpredictable consequences. Mortgage payments would increase, credit card interest rates would go up, and college loans would be harder to take out.

No one is certain how the markets would react to a default, as it’s never happened before. It’s not unlikely that stock prices will plummet — the “why” here is complicated, but has to do with in part the fact that the model used to price stocks is closely related to the perceived security of Treasury bonds. More generally speaking, the mere fear of economic calamity could itself result in a sell-off of stocks.

In any event, if stock prices fall, the value of 401(k)s and other retirement plans that include stocks will plummet. So will mutual funds. The Treasury itself believes that the value of the dollar itself could fall, which is another way of saying that inflation would go up and make everything more expensive for Americans.

3. The Economy In General Will Gets A Whole Lot Worse

This is all bad stuff, but the kicker here is that all of these various terrible economic consequences are interrelated. They bounce off of each other, collide with one another, amplify one another and generally make a bad situation much worse.

Here’s one example: If there’s a sell-off of bonds, interest rates will go up. When interest rates rise, loans in general become more expensive, which hinders the capacity of businesses to invest and grow. Because running a business at pre-default levels will become more expensive, companies will likely cut back on hiring new workers, or possibly even fire current employees. So unemployment will probably go up.

If fewer people have jobs, they’ll have less money to spend on consumer goods. So will recipients of Social Security and veterans’ benefits, or employees at various government agencies, who won’t be getting their checks anymore. And if, as some speculate, the dollar itself becomes less valuable, people will have to pinch pennies even more. With Americans in general spending less money, businesses in turn will suffer, meaning they’ll have to lay off workers, and, well, you see where this is headed.

Is There Any Good News?

The good news, if such a thing exists in this situation, is that despite people like those pictured above, Democrats and Republicans in the Senate are apparently close to an agreement that would raise the debt ceiling until February 15th (and, as a bonus, fund the government until a month earlier). The bill would contain some minor, generally inconsequential token concessions from each side, and would probably pass the Senate without difficulty.

There’s no certainty it’ll pass the House, of course, but Speaker of the House John Boehner has privately told his colleagues that he won’t let the country default. At this point, that basically means he’ll take whatever bill the Senate passes and put it up for a vote, and if he does, it will almost certainly pass with almost every Democratic vote and a handful of Republicans.

So there could be a way out of this yet. But if Congress doesn’t find it, the country could be in for a whole lot of trouble.

Why Brooklyn Band The Yellow Dogs Were Important

UPDATE: A manager for Brooklyn's Iranian-American band, The Yellow Dogs, released a statement confirming the deaths of two band members. (Previous reports indicated that two band members had passed away.) The manager, however, also corrected previous reports that the shooter was a former bandmate. Said the statement, "The shooter was not a former member of the band The Yellow Dogs, he was in another band from Iran and the two groups were acquaintances in the past. A personal conflict between the guys resulted in the dissolution of their relationship in 2012. The shooting resulted in the death of two of the members of the Yellow Dogs, Sourosh Farazmand (guitarist) and Arash Farazmand (drummer), along with a friend of theirs, fellow musician and author Ali Eskandarian. The shooter died from a self inflicted bullet wound on site."

EARLIER: By now, you've probably heard about the tragic story surrounding Brooklyn band The Yellow Dogs, whose members were found dead in their East Williamsburg home early this morning. According to BuzzFeed, a former member of the Iranian-American band shot and killed his three bandmates before killing himself, reportedly bitter about being kicked out of the band for possibly stealing money and selling the group's equipment.

It's a terrible story, made even sadder by the fact that these guys were poised to be really significant icons in the struggle for young Iranian men and women to express themselves artistically in an oppressive culture like Iran's — the band was already well-known in the indie scene, and made headlines a few years ago on CNN for speaking out about the difficulties they face being rock musicians in the country.

So, who were The Yellow Dogs? Three regular Brooklyn rockers looking to make a change in the world — it's unfortunate that it's under these circumstances.

  • They highlighted the struggle for young Iranian musicians and artists looking to express themselves in a country that regulates dress, haircuts, and peoples' everyday lives. In this clip from a 2009 CNN report, the band describes how they practice and play music underground in Iran, effectively risking their lives for their music.
looloooooooooooo888 on YouTube
  • They furthered the Kickstarter craze, after fleeing from Iran for fear that they would be killed if they were caught playing their music by the Iranian police force, ershad, who regulate what the Islamic government sees as misbehavior — including dress, drinking, dating, or playing rock music.
  • They effectively showed the world that the extremist government in Iran does not speak for the majority of young people living in the country today — important, given the media's common portrayal of Iran as simply state of terrorists.

Former student pursuing her dream career!

Meg O'Donnell joined Cadbury College in 2009 from St Peter's Roman Catholic School.  She chose to study English Literature & Language, Media Studies, Photography and Theatre Studies in her first year here, before dropping Theatre  Studies in her second.  She achieved fantastic results in her A-Level subjects, and went off to study a degree in BA (Hons) Photography at Plymouth University.  Here, she talks about her experiences in landing her dream job since graduation and what it took to get where she is today:

Tell us about your career path since graduation.

Initially, I began interning around London. I wasn’t completely sure what I wanted to do with photography so I gained experience in galleries, magazines, and publishing houses. I really enjoyed my time and experience, yet I was determined to remain open-minded with my future career path. I think that is important; I never found that I was closing myself off to other opportunities, which resulted in an array of varied working environments and roles.

Has your career path changed since graduation?

Yes and no. After completing an internship with MACK, I was offered a position as their Sales, Press, and Marketing Executive. So I was working in an environment that I had hoped for, yet I had never experienced sales and publicity and never really imagined myself doing so, until my role in their company. I began to really enjoy this role whilst interning and I guess it naturally lead me to the job I have now.

What is the most difficult thing which you have faced in your career?

My limited experience in the role initially resulted in a few months of confusion and errors. For me, this made me so worried, as I wanted to be instantly great. Eventually, I had a word with myself and was also told by friends and colleagues, including my boss, that even the most successful people have to start somewhere, which made me relax and now I’m really enjoying feeling comfortable and confident in my role.

What is the best, most exciting or fun thing that you have done in your career?

With MACK, I have attended a number of exciting dinners surrounded by the very people who inspired me through my time studying photography. Due to my role within sales and publicity, I also get the opportunity to organise and attend exciting events and art fairs. I also have the exciting potential of travelling with MACK: I’m hoping to take trips to the US and Japan, so fingers crossed that all works out.

What, if anything, would you do differently if you could?

Sometimes I wish that I had taken a year out to travel the world and to not have anything to think about, other than which country I was going to next. I guess I still have time for that later in life.

What advice would you give to anyone wanting to get in to the same line of work?

Unpaid internships are not ideal, but they are so very important. By giving your time and effort, you demonstrate to your employer just how passionate you are about getting yourself into the industry. But at the same time, don’t allow people to take advantage of you. At the end of the day, the experience will be beneficial, but you are there to assist and make the company’s life a little easier.

Did you undertake a placement during your degree and if so, how did this benefit you?

I interned at the Peninsula Arts Gallery from my second year until my graduation. This enabled me to gain experience within an art gallery, which is something that really interested me. I gained experience working behind the box office, selling tickets, and volunteering at events, which is helping me in my current position.

Cadbury College would like to wish Meg all the best in her future endeavours!

With thanks to Plymouth University.

California Deserts Visitor Information

Golden Canyon Trail

This is an easy worthwhile hike. You will not be disappointed. You walk through a canyon with high walls at least 50 feet overhead. It is obvious how water has influenced this arid landscape. When it comes here, there is a lot of it, and it is usually moving very rapidly. Multiply that by several million years and you’ll easily see how this canyon was formed.

This is an interpretive trail with many stops that the entire family can enjoy, provided you don’t bring them here in the summer when it’s dangerously hot.

You can turn this hike into a loop, which sadly time did not allow for, but we did get to explore the cliffs and get a twilight view of Red Cathedral. What a beautiful spot!

Trailhead: From the Furnace Creek Visitor Center drive South on Highway 190 for about 2 miles, and take the right turn onto the 178 South. The sign will say to Badwater. Drive for another 2 miles to the Golden Canyon parking area on your left – the east side of the road. Park, pick up a trail guide and set out on your way.

At the kiosk you can check out the interesting explanation of the geology and natural history.

Close by is the Artist’s Drive, make sure to take this one-way not to be missed course after your hike.

School Reports 2016: The Red Brick Road

Just Eat
Just Eat

2015 was a positive year for The Red Brick Road, which increased declared income to £7 million - up 70 per cent since 2012's management buyout.

It was the third year of stable management and that translated into a good new-business performance.

The team – which now includes Andrew Godley, who was promoted from client services director to managing director – is obviously doing something right.

The big win of 2015 was the Yorkshire Building Society Group, which made TRBR its lead creative agency. The shop will handle integrated campaigns across brands including the Chelsea Building Society.

TRBR set up an experiential division to produce more integrated work for clients, including the launch campaign for Up & Go. A new client, the Australian breakfast drink brand created a conflict that forced TRBR to say goodbye to an existing account, Moma.

Client conflict also saw the agency end its relationship with Savills to take up the creative and PR work to launch easyProperty’s residential service. The online estate agent is part of Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou’s easyGroup.

TRBR picked up Glorious! soups’ creative account and was appointed the retained integrated agency on L’Oréal’s Active Cosmetics in the UK and Ireland. However, after landing GoDaddy’s UK account in 2015, the business moved to TBWA as part of a global win.

TRBR’s standout work was its "mini fist pump" ads for the food-delivery service Just Eat. The agency claims that sales and shares have doubled in the past six months.

David Miller will be pleased with his team’s performance in 2015. Fist pumps all round.

How the agency rates itself: 7

"We’ve had the nation ordering (and singing) "mushroom fried rice" for Just Eat; we’ve offended Aussies for Up & Go (they "suck"); and we reminded the nation that nothing beats TV for persuasion (thanks to "Harvey & Harmony" for Thinkbox). We’ve also welcomed five new clients to The Red Brick Road: L’Oréal UK and Ireland, Yorkshire Building Society Group, Up & Go, easyProperty and Glorious! soups. Let’s toast an ice-cold Jägermeister to 2016!"

Dizzee Rascal Names Kanye West His Dream Collaboration: "He's Always Ahead Of Everyone"

28 June 2013, 15:44

The 'Bonkers' rapper names Kanye's album 'Graduation' as a huge inspiration on his own music.

Dizzee Rascal has named Kanye West as the artist he would most like to record a collaboration with.

The 'Goin' Crazy' rapper also hailed the US rapper's new album 'Yeezus' and credits Kanye's 2007 record 'Graduation' with being a big inspiration to him.

"But there are still loads of people I want to collaborate with," Dizzee told The Sun this week. "More than anyone I'd like to work with Kanye West, he's always been ahead of everyone.

"People are in two minds about his new album 'Yeezus'  but what more can he do?" Dizzee questioned. "I have got to admit 'Graduation' was a massive inspiration to me. I felt that was his best."

Check out a picture of 'Gold Digger' rapper Kanye West below (Credit: PA):

The UK rapper is currently preparing for his own new record, which boasts team-ups with artists like will.i.am, Jessie J and Robbie Williams.

Dizzee Rascal releases 'The Fifth' on 1st July.

#AshtonKutcher Trends As People Hope Inauguration Is A Punk'd Episode

During President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Americans hoped that "Punk’d" host Ashton Kutcher would bring this nightmare to an end by revealing it was all a joke.

Although MTV’s “Punk’d” has been off the air since 2012, many Americans were crossing their fingers in hopes that President Donald Trump’s election win and presidency is just one big prank.

We all remember the elaborate, infuriating hoaxes Ashton Kutcher — the show’s host — would put all of his celebrity pals through, only to laugh at their expense.

Then, just as the unsuspecting guest reached their peak level of anger or distress, Kutcher would come in with his camera crew and say those infamous four words, “You just got punk’d!”

Early Friday as the inaugural ceremonies got under way, Kutcher began trending on Twitter as many people were keeping hope alive that he would make an appearance to save the day and reveal this was all a joke.

Alas, Kutcher was nowhere to be found as Americans watched with clenched teeth while Vice President Mike Pence was sworn in, followed by Trump.

Just like that, our fears became a reality, leaving us to mourn what is sure to be the death of democracy as we know it.

The Trump reign presidency has officially begun.

Hyundai Philippines Looks Ahead to Manufacturing Boost in 2018

Coming off from its successful run in the 50th ASEAN summit, Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI) seeks greater heights in 2018, showing continuous confidence in the potential of the Philippine economy. Recognizing the remarkable contribution of manufacturing to Q3 GDP growth in 2017, up by 9.4 percent year-on-year to outpace services, Hyundai welcomes this structural shift for the Philippines going into 2018.

“Indeed, we live in volatile and complex times. On a positive note, we must also recognize that these are exciting and dynamic times, particularly for the automotive industry. As manufacturing has picked up the pace in the third quarter, we look forward to the opportunities it will open for the industry next year,” said HARI President and CEO Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, manufacturing grew by an average of 8.3 percent to-date, with nine out of the 22 sub-sectors recording double-digit growth, including transport equipment expanding by 16 percent as of the third quarter. One major factor for this development is the exports sector, which exceeded its annual official target of five percent to reach 12 percent, making headway in more markets.

Parallel to this development is the creation of the first Hyundai Assembly Center (HAC) in the Philippines in 2017, fulfilling Hyundai Motor Company’s (HMC) goal to expand its presence in Southeast Asia. In its shift from distributor to assembler, HARI joins its counterparts in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam, to spur investment and develop human capital in the ASEAN region.

As the Philippines moves toward ASEAN Economic Integration, Hyundai is ready to face the necessary changes in improving its global value chain and parts manufacturing services, particularly for the EON and H350, its locally assembled vehicles. EON sales reached 5,903 vehicles as of November 2017, capturing first-time car buyers or millennials, the segment poised to reshape and disrupt the Philippine economy.  Meanwhile, the H350 served as the official mobility vehicle in the ASEAN 50 and ASEAN Business & Investment Summit, gaining a broader audience as a special commercial vehicle.

“Our thrust is to go beyond mobility. While our participation in the ASEAN summit strengthened our presence in the economic community; more importantly, it showed our resolve to support the national agenda – to gain new ground and increase our overall competitiveness in the region,” the HARI chief added.

inba workshop, tétouan / by Carlos Perez Marin

It has been a pleasure to organise a workshop for the students of the art school of Tetouan (the only belonging to the culture ministry). During three weeks we have been working on art interventions in public spaces, more specifically in the medina from the 15th century.

Besides, it has been an honour to teach at this school, because the history you can find on its ateliers and corridors. Most of the best Moroccan artist have studied here and I hope some of mines will in the future.

This thing is BIG. But it accelerate and ride well

2014 Ford Expedition EL Richard Ruel - Erie, CO 02/13/2016

Very comfortable to ride in and drive. All the comforts of sitting in your living room.

Great vehicle at an excellent price.

2016 Ford Expedition EL Sylvester Jackson - Woodbridge, VA 05/01/2017

It has a lot of options, the ride is incredible, it has a lot of space as I am a big guy and have three kids and three dogs to haul around and sometimes towing. The gas mileage is great and the turbo is very smooth and responsive. Great safety features for my entire family even for my teens who drive and everything being hands free and can connect to their smart phones. I don't know about cost of maintenance yet but our mechanic checked it out when we purchased it as he does all our used vehicles and was impressed with what Ford has done with this model and year and cost to maintain should be normal. I would like to see one additional thing on this vehicle and that is about a 2 more inches in suspension ground clearance.

great SUV, one of many Ford SUV's I have owned

2014 Ford Expedition EL Ron Prince - Spicewood, TX 03/17/2016

Excellent quality, good value, great hauler, safe, on F-150 frame what more is there to say

COOPER’S HAWK:  One of the bird-hunting accipiters, this fiercely handsome raptor developed a controversial habit at the feeding station.  He hung out most days in the surrounding Mesquites, where he made frequent—and sometimes successful—runs at the feeding doves, Kiskadees, jays and other customers.  Despite the dense trees and brush, he was able to thread his way through the tightest of openings at warp speed. By the way, “he” actually is probably a “she.”

    Just a minor warning to those of you who use them...

    They seem to be having serious server problems today, you probably should hold off for a day or two. It took me forever to log on. After I went to the cashier to make a deposit, the money was withdrawn from my neteller account but the transaction is now lost somewhere in their system. CS said its going to take 3-4 business days to sort out.

    I'm sure they'll get my transaction resolved, but if you try to log on tonite/this weekend and their performance is still slow, I'd figure its better to be safe than sorry and come back another time.

    I also had some server issues with Intercasino yesterday. It was taking several times to log in, and video poker seemed slow and jerky sometimes. But I stuck with it cause I was having a great day. Hope they get it resolved soon.

The Chittendens

Has man invented a better device than his finger for picking his nose?

Critical to the discussion of all works of mine are the devices employed to produce and generate the behaviors of the performers who execute them. Be they written texts, stylistic economies and gestural regimes, or re-enactments of historic performances, I have always viewed these devices as a means to animate qualities in each performer and bring to bear on the performance itself circumstances of training or cultural orientation through a biography of familiar or absorbed forms. Performers, especially actors absorb and regenerate aspects of the behavioral regimes we are all subject to, and in this sense each project has begun with a certain anthropological interest.  However, as much I would like to regard a performing body as a "text" in an of itself, the result of historical production, what has ultimately continued to drive much of the work is the irreducibility of that text, and the effects generated by its own delicacy when placed in terms of other histories, other parallel evidence of what I can now dare to locate as "self-possession", "self-determination", and to use this word sparingly, desire. It is in this way that I don't feel the work to be particularly "Brechtian" although this description is commonly attributed to it.

The Chittendens began with a choreographic method developed with composer Sean Griffin for a sequence ("D-Pattern") in an unrelated theatre work. Sean and I were both interested in scoring strategies from the 1960's primarily having to do with the use of numerals and with ambiguities which could be teased out of strategies of reduction. Minimalist baggage aside, I was interested in how such a numeric scoring system could be applied to an actor's dramatic task which is impossible to break down into quantifiable units. Because I am interested in devices which calibrate or measure "dramatic" content, and devices which pressure expressive and emotive content, I was interested in a piece in which the actors and musicians would be asked to "master" through the same system, knowing that for the actors, the system would impose an entirely different set of effects, effects produced when a quantifying system is imposed on material which is impossible to quantify. Unique also to the actors' application of the numerical score would be the psycho-social aspects of recombination and grouping.

While working on The Chittendens, a certain critical mood set in relating to notions of self-posession and the festering cynicism I had toward the annoyingly introverted aspects of my own interest in it.  (The luxury to consider something so old school was fueling the cynicism, and generating moral traps within my thinking, but I think better art is made by embracing the traps.)  I am not interested in self-posession as an ideal but more as a kind of survival reflex which, along with self-determination is projected into the cultural, political, or social sphere as a necessity. "Determinism" is an old philosophical chestnut -- causes are determined by previous causes, etc., and self-determinism, "free-will" is the antithesis. The historical philosophical trajectory of this question is exhaustive and for the most part uninteresting to me because I am not interested in the implications of such a discussion, but again more in the various reflexes and pathologies associated with it,  such as the moral value given to protecting and advancing such an ideal as "free-will". Such as the brutality and deceit which is masked in its name. One can't apprehend such things as America's current attempt to control the world without recognizing that its culture has always conflated the ethics of self determinism, and economics. I was ultimately drawn then to the extroverted aspects of the question of self posession, and how it is a kind of national pathology, one which is hopelessly bolstered by the glorious victories of the 20th century.  Unlike Europe, we have no reason to doubt that our past justifies our present.

My interest in the associated pathologies of self-posession, self-determination, determinism, free-will etc., then became more or less rooted in the moral universe of past, and connections between morality and economic exploit. It seemed more interesting to work with an interpretive model from the past, rather than the "objective" critical tools of the present. Since I don't hold objectivity in any kind of esteem, it made additional sense to work with a critical model whose framework would be set even further in the past. An appropriate choice here was Thorstein Veblen's "The Theory of the Liesure Class" and its conflation of social pathologies with the "pecuniary"  (that which is associated with acquisition and ownership) structures which determine them. For Veblen, the circumstances of life are economical and thus inherently pathological, the moral character with which the "liesure class" assumes and maintains its ownership puts this in evidence.  Around this time I had also made a trip to Pheonix Arizona and, while driving,  passed an unassuming brick and block glass building,  outside of which was a sign depicting a lighthouse, a tall rigged sailing ship, and the name "The Chittendens". I couldn't tell what kind of business this was given the age of the sign, the building's non-descript exterior, and the "mixed use" city planning common to the west and American southwest. Some research revealed that The Chittendens was an insurance agency, and I was reminded how common such maritime imagery is to American business culture.  The icongography of the Chittendens insurance agency in some strange way became the mise en scène for my reading of "The Theory of the Liesure Class".

For Veblen, the barbarian traits are of no use to a healthy collective life and he is often dismissed on this point among others. Must the collective life be defined by what is useful to it? Don't expressions of class consciousness consist of complex social rituals motivated by much more than esteem and status?  Don't his assaults on display and ceremoniousness betray long held superstitions in Anglo-Protestant culture about artifice? Couldn't we find that such invectives constitute a pathology themselves, one which represses the emotional, irrational and sensual surpluses of industrial capitalism -- what is pleasurable in display, what is titillating about exploit?  Such criticism is only meaningful depending on the degree to which one actually wants an absolute and objective theory of the liesure class. The book is written in an overtly pedantic style which leaves the reader in a constant state of anticipation for a systematic logic which is never revealed.

At some stage in a project, there is always a point where I am aware of the degree to which I am absorbed in its emerging references but don't feel any obligation or obedience toward them on their own terms, the degree to which this potentially relegates them to a kind of kitsch. The dramatis personae of "The Theory of the Leisure Class" and the sentiments embodied by the signage for The Chittendens insurance agency were beginning to be staged through my imagination which easily borrows them, easily "cheapens" their meaning, and perhaps is satisfied by them as no more than kitsch. I think this idea would apply to the function of reference in any artwork, it becomes a matter of to what degree the kitsch object (in this case a visual signification and theoretical model) are left in their borrowed and incomplete form to serve as content in themselves. I have no problem with the kitschification of reference, as long as it is re-animated through other devices and toward other effects. Adding additional information is in a sense forcing the viewer away from the reductive and mutually congratulatory aspects of the kitsch experience of reference. For me kitsch is only offensive when its function is to affirm a nostalgia for the original thing or a pedigree necessary to its recognition. I think the end result bears some anxiety about this question, the spectre of kitsch looms over every work of mine, and this is true here as well, once the choice was made to pursue the iconographies of Veblen and The Chittendens as raw material for the mise en scène of the films.

The choice of setting and costume infuses my projections onto the moral universe of Veblen, its antecendents in late capitalism as I have experienced it (the ersatz financeering mileux of upper, middle, lower-middle, junior, and lower management) and the maritime iconography of The Chittendens. I began to look for offices, the best of those found was a mid-60's office building in Chicago housing the multiple endeavors of both exploit and industry. Several rooms were in the process of construction, or contained office furniture, copy machines, leftover files,  knickknacks, and hundreds of other surpluses (or stockpiles) of closed out or relocated businesses. Empty offices and a grand oak-paneled board room completed what would become our primary location. The emerging mise en scène was one of dislocated management/commerce and this influenced the search for the other necessary location,  a lighthouse.  A true epiphany for the project happened when I found and was able to negotiate shooting at a small abandoned lighthouse on a remote island an hour from the coast of Wisconsin, ironically named "Poverty Island".  Drawn from various 19th and 20th century archetypes, (including Veblen's peacable savage and liesure class financieer), I wanted the costumes, to provide a kind of  "loose cover" for the performers, they could justify his/her being someplace in dramatic terms, but would never reconcile with what exactly they would do there. The performers have no relationship to the costume as an identity they should embody, nor does it bear any relationship to an expression of their attitudes or choreography.

The piece works the performance of the scores through a kind of spectrum of scenes with different stylistic approaches and staging for the camera. The first component,  "Chittendens Scenes (Morbid Naturalism)"  takes place in the maze of small offices using the office floorplan and re-combination of character archetypes to loosely ground a kind of narrative. An unmotivated camera moves repeatedly through the waiting room, pantry, bathroom, conference room, and executive office generating an endless mutation of narrative given the status of the room, who is present, and the effects of their action -- the playing out of their individual scores.  The "Chittenden Screen Tests" were filmed in an executive boardroom in the same building. Like many other projects, this location yielded the necessary "production design", we didn't have to bring anything in, the setting already consisted of a fantastic conflation of 19th and 20th century period decor.  These scenes present one score per each actor filmed in two takes, in different costume,  one in black and white, the other in color. The takes are then dissolved over one another, so that any inconsistancy in the performance between the takes is revealed. The "Chittenden Screen Tests" follow one from the other as a series of solos. The filmic dissolve brings the two takes together,  and the performer either unifies his action over two disparate moments in time, or, fails to "self posess" in the high steaks ambiance of the executive boardroom. The location also offered us a series of rooms which were in transition, either under construction or full of artifacts from businesses no longer renting space there. These rooms had a bad vibe of liquidation, eviction and foreclosure a kind of vibe that  became the setting for a somewhat dry and static series of scenes we called "The Resucitation of Uplifting" which are combined with Sean Griffin's musical compositions. Shot in a fairly static manner, music is used to animate a depth and narrative projection into the choreographies. The final component is a series of scenes shot at Poverty Island lighthouse, which sits, abandoned on a small island of of the Wisonsin shore. Completed in 1875, the lighthouse guided vessels loaded with ore to the steel mills of the great lakes during the maritime commerce boom of the mid 19th century. The scenes involve a voyage to Poverty Island with a Captain Bligh-esque figure and two "deckhands" costumed for work on a modern cruise ship. Often noted for the failure of his micro-managing, Captain Bligh and the voyage of the HMS bounty are a model of failed exploit and bad leadership. The scenes depict a sequence of inspirational views of the abandoned lighthouse, the deckhands at "work", and the Captain's melancholy over the failure of the resucitation of the metaphor of the lighthouse --  the voyage's primary aim. Sean Griffin's reworking of a score by composer Percy Aldridge Grainger who aims to convey "a suggestion of wafted, wind-borne, surging sounds heard at sea" accompanies these scenes.I hope The Chittendens generates a spectrum of effects. I hope it is a quasi-European, nostalgia-obsessed hysterical film noir, a morality tale, and a critique of one. I hope cohesion is simultaneously generated and dismantled by the particularities of the performers and the tasks they execute. I hope there is ultimately an effusion of reception as the actors are cast in and out of the historiography of the mise en scène due to their own ideosynctratic playing of its score.

Gareth Bale: I Have No Problem Leaving Tottenham For Real Madrid

White Hart Lane star confesses he has no worries about moving to play at the Bernabeu or San Siro.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Gareth Bale admits he has no concerns about leaving the club for a move abroad.

The 21-year-old has attracted a lot of attention for his performances this season, most notably his hat-trick against Inter Milan at the San Siro.

He has been linked with mega-money moves to Milan, Barcelona and tomorrow night’s Champions League quarter-final opponents, Real Madrid.

But the Welsh international says he does not pay attention to the speculation and is not scared of leaving these shores to play his football.

“You never know [what will happen] but I have no fear about leaving the country,” he told AS.

“If there is a great opportunity then that has to be considered seriously.

“I left home when I was 15. If I leave the Premier League, learn another language and see another country then I will grow as a person.”

“I try not to think about it, my team-mates joke a lot about it,” he added.

“I am playing the best football of my career with Tottenham.

“It just seems like they are talking about someone else when people are talking about how much I would cost and who would sign me.”

EXCLUSIVE: Simone Bianchi’s Pencils For “Thanos Rising”

EXCLUSIVE: Simone Bianchi’s Pencils For “Thanos Rising”

During its presentation at this week’s ComicsPRO event, a convention attended solely by retailers and publishers to discuss industry issues, Marvel Comics shared a look at Simone Bianchi’s interior art from his and writer Jason Aaron’s upcoming “Thanos Rising” miniseries. Marvel has since provided CBR News with an exclusive preview of the pages.

“I don’t want to do a book that has easy answers,” Aaron told CBR about his take on the Mad Titan’s origin story. “A lot of that comes down to the nature versus nurture argument. Was Thanos born a monster with something evil inside him? Was what he became predetermined by his genetics?

“Yes, there is something genetically different about this guy. He’s not like the other Eternals on Titan, but could he have grown up under different circumstances and been an even greater leader than his father was and continued the paradise that existed on Titan? Was he warped and corrupted by the circumstances of his childhood and upbringing?”

Check out the pages below and stay tuned to CBR for more on “Thanos Rising” as it becomes available.

MLK's Family Feels Vindicated

The widow of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. says she feels vindicated by a jury's finding in December 1999 that her husband was the victim of a conspiracy, not a lone assassin, and says it is the duty of the Justice Department to look at the information presented in the Memphis case.

"I think that if people will look at the evidence that we have, it's conclusive and I think the Justice Department has a responsibility to do what it feels is the right thing to do, the just thing to do," Coretta Scott King, told CBS Early Show Anchor Bryant Gumbel a day after the trial.

The jury of six blacks and six whites deliberated only about three hours before returning the verdict in a civil lawsuit brought by the King family, reports CBS News Correspondent Jennifer Jones. They had sued Lloyd Jowers, a 73-year-old retired Memphis businessman who claimed six years ago that he paid someone other than James Earl Ray to kill King.

The Kings were awarded $100 in damages, but they weren't after money. What they wanted was a verdict that would lend support to their call for a new investigation of the killing.

"It's been painful and also has been bittersweet," said King's son, Dexter, who led the family's pursuit of the truth. "Bitter because of the tragedy, obviously, but liberating in the sense and sweet that we have been vindicated and ultimately that the significant of this historical verdict that really rewrites history is liberating. Now we can move on with our lives, have a sense of closure and healing."

William Pepper, the Kings' lawyer, told jurors Jowers was part of a vast conspiracy involving the Mafia and agents of the federal government. He said King was targeted because of his opposition to the Vietnam War and plans for a huge march on Washington.

Coretta Scott King

A cover-up following the assassination in Memphis in 1968 involved the FBI, CIA, the media and Army intelligence, as well as many state and city officials, Pepper said. He told the jurors they could rewrite history with a conspiracy verdict.

"We're asking you to send a all of those in power that you cannot get away with it," Pepper said during his closing argument.

Ray confessed to the murder in 1969 but recanted and spent the rest of his life trying to get a trial. He died from liver disease last year.

Ray's guilty plea was upheld eight times by state and federal courts. A U.S. House committee concluded in 1978 that Ray was the killer but he may have had help before or after the assassination. The comittee did not find any government involvement in the murder.

"The jury also heard a great deal of evidence which exonerated James Earl Ray," Pepper said Thursday. "That should be made clear because there are spins coming out indicating that James was part of this conspiracy. That's not what the jury found or heard. They heard strong evidence that James was an unknowing patsy."

Jowers owned a small restaurant, Jim's Grill, across the street from the Lorraine Motel, where King was killed. On the day of the murder, Ray, a prison escapee from Missouri, rented a room under an assumed name in a rooming house above Jim's Grill.

In 1993, Jowers said on ABC-TV that he hired King's killer as a favor to an underworld figure who was a friend. He did not identify the purported killer, but said it wasn't Ray.

Jowers, who has never repeated the claim, was sick for much of the trial and did not testify.

Lewis Garrison, Jowers' lawyer, told jurors they could reasonably conclude King was the victim of a conspiracy but said his client's role was minor at best.

He said it was hard to believe that "the owner of a greasy spoon and an escaped convict" could have pulled off King's assassination.

Pepper said King was killed because of his opposition to the war and his planned "poor people's march" on Washington. Those activities angered big-money defense contractors and threatened a redistribution of wealth in America, he said.

King planned to assemble thousands of protesters at a tent city in Washington and those in power "were afraid that mob would overrun the capital," Pepper said.

The order to kill King, Pepper said, came from the head of organized crime in New Orleans to a Memphis produce dealer who got Jowers to handle the payoff and murder weapon. An Army sniper squad was in place to shoot King if the Mafia hit failed, Pepper said.

John Campbell, a prosecutor with the Shelby County district attorney general's office who has investigated the assassination but was not involved in the Jowers trial, said the conspiracy claims have no merit.

"We looked at this off and on for five years ... and I've still seen nothing that would change my opinion" that Ray acted alone, Campbell said.

Last year, U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno ordered a limited investigation by the Justice Department into two allegations of a conspiracy in the King murder. One was Jowers' claim. The other was a statement by former FBI Agent Donald Wilson that he found papers in Ray's car that might support a conspiracy.

Justice Department Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder says the report is almost complete and could be released within weeks. But Holder says he doubts the report or the Memphis case will lead to any criminal charges.

But at a news conference in Atlanta, Dexter King said his family was just happy to have resolved decades of doubts. "We don't care what the Justice Department does," Because of inforation that came out in the Memphis trial, he said, "We believe that this case is over. ... We know what happened. This is the period at the end of the sentence."
