American-Australian actor Mel Gibson (1956) became known worldwide thanks to the small-budgeted action film Mad Max (1979). He went on to star in such acclaimed films as Gallipoli (1981) and The Bounty (1984). In 1987, he became a superstar with the buddy cop action-comedy film series Lethal Weapon (1987-1998). As director of Braveheart (1995), he won both the Academy Award for best director and best film. Gibson also produced and directed The Passion of the Christ (2004) about the last phase of Jesus Christ's life on earth.
Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson was born in 1956 in Peekskill, New York, USA. He was the sixth of eleven children of Hutton Gibson, a railroad brakeman, and Anne Patricia (Reilly) Gibson. His mother was Irish, from County Longford, while his American-born father is of mostly Irish descent. His father moved the family from upstate New York to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, in 1968 after winning as a contestant on the game show Jeopardy! The family settled in New South Wales, where Mel's paternal grandmother, contralto opera singer Eva Mylott, was born. After high school, Mel studied at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, performing at the National Institute of Dramatic Arts alongside future film thespians Judy Davis and Geoffrey Rush. Here, he starred opposite Judy Davis in a production of 'Romeo and Juliet'. After college, Mel had a few stints on stage and starred in TV shows. Eventually, he was chosen to star in the films Mad Max (George Miller, 1979) and Tim (Michael Pate, 1979), co-starring Piper Laurie. The small-budgeted Mad Max made him known worldwide, while Tim garnered him an award for Best Actor from the Australian Film Institute, the Australian equivalent to the Oscar. Gibson got a reputation as a serious, versatile actor. He was a part of the movement dubbed the 'Australian New Wave' by the press. They were a group of filmmakers and performers who emerged from Down Under at about the same time and found work in other parts of the world. Other members included actress Judy Davis and directors George Miller, Gillian Armstrong and Peter Weir.
Mel Gibson went on to star in the World War I drama Gallipoli (Peter Weir, 1981), which earned him a second award for Best Actor from the AFI. In 1980, he married Robyn Moore and had seven children. In 1984, Mel made his American debut in The Bounty (Roger Donaldson, 1984), which co-starred Anthony Hopkins. Then in 1987, Mel starred in what would become his signature series, Lethal Weapon (Richard Donner, 1987), in which he played Martin Riggs. In 1990, he took on the starring role in Hamlet (Franco Zeffirelli, 1990) with Glenn Close, which garnered him some critical praise. He also made the more endearing Forever Young (Steve Miner. 1992) with Jamie Lee Curtis and the somewhat disturbing The Man Without a Face (Mel Gibson, 1993). 1995 brought his most famous role as Sir William Wallace in Braveheart (Mel Gibson, 1995), for which he won two Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. From there, he made such box office hits as Ransom (Ron Howard, 1996), Payback (Brian Helgeland, 1999) and The Patriot (Roland Emmerich, 2000). His later films include Signs (M. Night Shyamalan, 2002), and Edge of Darkness (Martin Campbell, 2010). For The Passion of the Christ (2004), which he directed, wrote and produced, he spent 25 million dollars of his own money. Back in 1992, he started doing research for the film that was not released until 2004. That year, he was the highest-paid celebrity with a reported $210,000,000 salary from his The Passion of the Christ (2004) profits, plus a potential $150,000,000 that is yet to be accounted for. The way Gibson portrayed the suffering of Christ caused however much controversy. He received further critical notice for his directorial work of the action-adventure film Apocalypto (2006), which is set in Mesoamerica during the early 16th century. He separated from his wife Robyn in June 2006. At the end of July 2006, Gibson was arrested for drunk driving in Malibu, California. During his arrest, he made derogatory comments about Jews and women. On 1 August 2006, he checked himself into a recovery program for alcohol abuse. He did three-year probation following the misdemeanour drunken driving arrest. Robyn finally filed for divorce in April 2009 but it wasn't finalised until December 2011, reportedly because it took them all that time to divide Gibson's estimated assets of $850 million. It is considered the biggest divorce payout in Hollywood history. In 2009, he made a first public appearance together with his girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva who was then three months pregnant with his daughter Lucia. The couple split in 2010. In 2014, he started a relationship with Rosalind Ross with whom he had his ninth child.

Harry Benson — God is Love, Watts Riots
The Watts riots were a series of violent confrontations between residents of Watts and the Los Angeles Police Department that began on August 11, 1965, and lasted for six days. The immediate cause was the arrest of Marquette Frye, a young African American man, on suspicion of drunk driving, which escalated into a broader reaction against police brutality and systemic racism. The riots resulted in 34 deaths, over 1,000 injuries, and more than $40 million in property damage.

Michael Phelps biography from Wikipedia
Michael Fred Phelps (born June 30, 1985) is an American swimmer and 14-time Olympic gold medalist (the most by any Olympian), who currently holds seven world records in swimming.
He holds the record for the most gold medals won at a single Olympics; a total of eight, surpassing Mark Spitz. Overall, Phelps has won 16 Olympic medals: six gold and two bronze at Athens in 2004, and eight gold at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. In winning these medals, he has twice equaled Soviet gymnast Alexander Dityatin's record of eight medals (of any type) at a single Olympics (Dityatin: Moscow 1980; Phelps: Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008), and ranks second in total career Olympic medals, after Soviet gymnast Larissa Latynina, who won a total of 18 medals (nine gold) spanning three
Phelps' international titles, along with his various world records, have resulted in him being awarded the World Swimmer of the Year Award in 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2007 and American Swimmer of the Year Award in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2007. Phelps has won a total of 48 career medals thus far: 40 gold, six silvers and two bronze. This includes all of the Championships in which he has competed: The Olympics, the World Championships, and the Pan Pacific Championships.
Phelps was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, and grew up in the Rodgers Forge neighborhood. He graduated from Towson High School in 2003. His father, Fred Phelps, worked for the Maryland State Police and his mother, Debbie Davisson Phelps, is a middle school principal. The two divorced in 1994. Michael, whose nickname is "MP", has two older sisters, Whitney and Hilary. Both of them were swimmers as well, with Whitney coming close to making the U.S. national team for the 1996 Summer Olympics before injuries derailed her career.
In his youth, Phelps was diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). He started swimming at age seven, partly because of the influence of his sisters and partly to provide him with an outlet for his energy. He excelled as a swimmer, and by the age of 10 held a national record for his age group. More age group records followed, and Phelps' rapid improvement culminated in his qualifying for the 2000 Summer Olympics at the age of 15.
In November 2004, at the age of 19, Phelps was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in Salisbury, Maryland. He pleaded guilty to driving while impaired the following month and was granted probation before judgment and ordered to serve 18 months probation, fined $250, obligated to speak to high school students about drinking and driving and had to attend a Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) meeting. Questioned about the incident later that month by Matt Lauer on the Today Show, Phelps said it was an "isolated incident" and that he had "definitely let myself down and my family down...I think I let a lot of people in the country down."
Between 2004 and 2008, Phelps attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, studying sports marketing and management. In May 2008, Phelps said he intends to return to Baltimore following the 2008 Olympics, joining Bob Bowman there when he leaves the University of Michigan, saying, "I'm not going to swim for anybody else. I think we can both help the North Baltimore Aquatic Club go further. I'm definitely going to be in Baltimore next year." The club has announced that Bowman is leaving the University of Michigan to become the club's CEO.
Phelp's teammates call him "Gomer" because he reminds them of Gomer Pyle, the good-natured, naive country boy played by Jim Nabors.
He has made an estimated $5 million per year in endorsements, plus a $1 million bonus from swimsuit maker Speedo for winning eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games.
Five physical attributes particularly suit Phelps to swimming: his long, thin torso (low drag in the water), arms which span 6 feet 7 inches (201 cm) (long, powerful, propulsive "paddles") disproportionate to his height of 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm), relatively short legs (lower drag, and perhaps the speed enhancement of a hydrofoil), coupled to size 14 feet (providing the effect of flippers) by hypermobilile ankles he can extend beyond the pointe of a ballet dancer, enabling him to whip his feet (as if they were fins, for maximum thrust through [if not over] the water).
In a front page illustrated article profiling Phelps on the eve of the 2008 Summer Olympics, The Baltimore Sun described the hometown swimmer as "a solitary man" with a "rigid focus" at the pool prior to a race, but afterwards "a man incredibly invested in the success of the people he cares about". Bowman told a Sun interviewer, "He's unbelievably kind-hearted", recounting Phelps' interaction with young children after practices.
According to an article in The Guardian, Phelps eats around 12,000 kcal each day, or about five times more than the average adult male.
Throughout the Olympics, Phelps was questioned by the press if perhaps his feats were "too good to be true", a reference to unsupported rumors that Phelps may be taking performance enhancing drugs. In response, Phelps noted that he had signed up for Project Believe, a project by the United States Anti-Doping Agency in which U.S. Olympians can volunteer to be tested in excess of the World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines.
As a young teenager, Phelps trained at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club under coach Bob Bowman. At the age of 15, Phelps competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, becoming the youngest American male swimmer at an Olympic Games in 68 years. While he did not win a medal, he did make the finals and was fifth in the 200 m Butterfly. Phelps proceeded to make a name for himself in swimming shortly thereafter. Five months after the Sydney Olympics, Phelps broke the world record in the 200 m butterfly to become, at 15 years and 9 months, the youngest man ever to set a swimming world record. He then broke his own record at the World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan (1:54.58). At the 2002 Summer Nationals in Fort Lauderdale, Phelps also broke the world record for the 400 m individual medley and set American marks in the 100 m butterfly and the 200 m individual medley.
In 2003, Phelps broke his own world record in the 400 m individual medley (4:09.09) and in June, he broke the world record in the 200 m individual medley (1:56.04). Then on July 7, 2004, Phelps broke his own world record again in the 400 m individual medley (4:08.41) during the U.S. trials for the 2004 Summer Olympics.
In 2004, Phelps left North Baltimore Aquatic Club with Bob Bowman to train at the University of Michigan for Club Wolverine.
Phelps' dominance brought comparisons to former swimming great Mark Spitz, who won seven gold medals in the 1972 Summer Olympics, a world record. Phelps tied Mark Spitz's record of four gold medals won in individual events. Phelps had the chance to break Spitz's record of seven total gold medals in the 2004 Athens Olympics by competing in eight swimming events (five of which were individual events): the 200 m freestyle, the 100 m butterfly, the 200 m butterfly, the 200 m individual medley, the 400 m individual medley, the 4x100 m freestyle relay, 4x200 m freestyle relay, and the 4x100 m medley relay. However, his 4x100 m freestyle relay team only won the bronze medal, and he personally placed for bronze in the 200 m freestyle. Thus, he fell short of Spitz's record. However, he did win eight medals in one Olympics, a feat only previously achieved by Alexander Dityatin, a gymnast, in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. Phelps would later equal this record (and break Spitz's) with his eight gold medals in the 2008 Olympic Games.
Had he won seven golds in 2004, he would have been eligible for a US$1 million bonus from his sponsor, Speedo. Phelps did, however, earn this $1 million by winning eight golds at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
On August 14, 2004 he won his first Olympic gold, in the 400 m individual medley, setting another new world record (4:08.26). On August 16 he was beaten by the Australian winner Ian Thorpe and the Dutch Pieter van den Hoogenband in 200 m freestyle final, called the race of the century.
On August 20, 2004 in the 100 m butterfly final, Phelps defeated American teammate Ian Crocker (who holds the world record in the event) by just 0.04 seconds. Traditionally, the Olympian who places highest in an individual event will be automatically given the corresponding leg of the 4x100 m medley relay. This gave Phelps an automatic entry into the medley relay but he deferred and Crocker swam instead. The American medley team went on to win the event in world record time, and, since he had raced in a preliminary heat of the medley relay, Phelps was also awarded a gold medal along with the team members that competed in the final.
Phelps moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan following the 2004 Olympics when his longtime coach at the North Baltimore Athletic Club, Bob Bowman, became head coach of the University of Michigan swimming team. Phelps served as a volunteer assistant coach, but did not swim for the university's team in NCAA competition because of his loss of amateur status, having accepted endorsement money from his sponsors Speedo, Visa, Omega and PowerBar. Instead, he trained with and competed for Club Wolverine, a USA Swimming club affiliated with the university, between 2004 and 2008. The Baltimore Sun said in August 2008 that Phelps earns $5 million annually in endorsements.
He competed in the 2005 World Championships, winning six medals, (five gold and one silver) and breaking one Championship record.
At the 2007 World Championships, Phelps won seven gold medals, tying the record, and broke five world records. The 4x100 m medley relay team he would have competed with in the final received a disqualification for a false start during a changeover in the heats.
He co-founded the "Swim with the Stars" program, along with Ian Crocker and Lenny Krayzelburg, a program which promotes swimming and conducts camps for swimmers of all ages.
Phelps represented the United States at the 2008 Summer Olympics. He qualified to compete in three team and five individual events, winning the gold medal in all eight events:

World record
Phelps set an Olympic record in the preliminary heats of the men's 400-meter individual medley. He followed that up in the final by winning the gold medal, as well as breaking his previous world record by nearly two seconds.
Phelps swam the first leg of the men's 4x100 m freestyle relay in a time of 47.51 seconds (an American record for the 100 m freestyle), and won his second gold medal of the 2008 Olympics, as well as setting his second world record of the Olympics (3:08.24). Teammate Jason Lezak, after beginning his leg more than half a body length behind the French, managed to finish ahead of the second-place French team by eight hundredths of a second. The top five teams in the final finished ahead of the world record of 3:12.23 set the day before by the American B team in a preliminary heat.
For his third race, Phelps broke his previous World Record in the 200-meter freestyle by nearly a second and won his third gold medal. He also set his third world record at the Olympics, 1:42.96, winning by nearly two seconds over silver medalist Park Tae-hwan. Phelps became only the fifth Olympic athlete in recent history to win nine career gold medals, along with Mark Spitz, Larissa Latynina, Paavo Nurmi, and Carl Lewis.

The next day, Phelps participated in two finals. In his first event, the 200-meter butterfly, Phelps made it four gold medals and world records in four events by swimming the final in 1:52.03, defeating silver medalist Laszlo Cseh by almost seven-tenths of a second despite his goggles filling up with water and being unable to "see anything for the last 100 meters. This fourth gold medal was his tenth, and made him the all-time leader for most Olympic gold medals won by an individual in the modern Olympic era.
“Epic. It goes to show you that not only is this guy the greatest swimmer of all time and the greatest Olympian of all time, he's maybe the greatest athlete of all time. He's the greatest racer who ever walked the planet.” - Mark Spitz (on Phelps winning his 7th gold medal)
Less than one hour after his gold medal victory in the 200-meter butterfly, Phelps swam the lead-off leg of the 4 x 200-meter freestyle relay. He won his fifth gold and set his fifth world record as the American team finished first with a time of 6:58.56. The Americans were the first team to break the seven-minute mark in the relay, and broke the previous record, set in Melbourne, Australia, by more than four and a half seconds.
After taking a day off from finals (Phelps did swim in qualifying heats), Phelps won his sixth gold of the Beijing Games on August 15 by winning the 200-meter individual medley with a World Record time of 1:54.23, finishing ahead of Cseh by over two seconds.
On August 16, Phelps won his seventh gold medal of the Games in the men’s 100-meter butterfly, setting an Olympic record for the event with a time of 50.58 seconds and edging out his nearest competitor, Serbian-American swimmer Milorad Čavić, by 1/100 of a second. Unlike all six of his previous events in the 2008 Games, Phelps did not set a new world record, leaving Ian Crocker’s world record time of 50.40 seconds, set in 2005, intact. Phelps’s 0.01-second finish ahead of Čavić prompted the Serbian delegation to file a protest; however, subsequent analysis of the video by the FINA panel, which required analyzing frames shot 1/10000 of a second apart, confirmed Phelps’s victory. Phelps’s seventh gold medal of the Games tied Mark Spitz’s record for gold medals won in a single Olympic Games, set in the 1972 Olympics. It was also his fifth individual gold medal in Beijing, tying the record for individual gold medals at a single Games originally set by Eric Heiden in the 1980 Winter Olympics and equaled by Vitaly Scherbo at the 1992 Summer Games. Said Phelps upon setting his seventh-straight Olympic record of the Games in as many events, “Dream as big as you can dream, and anything is possible… I am sort of in a dream world. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure it is real.”
On August 17, Phelps won his eighth gold medal in the men’s 4 × 100-meter medley relay, tying Mark Spitz’s previous record of setting seven world records in a single Olympic Games and breaking Spitz’s record of seven gold medals won in a single Olympic Games, which had stood since 1972. Phelps, along with teammates Brendan Hansen, Aaron Peirsol, and Jason Lezak, set a new world record in the event with a time of 3 minutes and 29.34 seconds, 0.7 seconds ahead of second-place Australia and 1.34 seconds faster than the previous record set by the United States at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. When Phelps dived in to swim the 100-meter butterfly leg, the third leg of the 400-meter medley, the United States had been trailing Australia and Japan. As if to make up for not having set a world record in the 100-meter individual butterfly the day before, Phelps completed his split in 50.1 seconds, the fastest butterfly split ever for the event, giving teammate Jason Lezak a more than half-second lead for the final leg, which he would hold onto to clinch the event in world record time. Said Phelps, upon completing the event that awarded him his eighth gold medal and eighth Olympic record in as many events, “Records are always made to be broken no matter what they are… Anybody can do anything that they set their mind to.”
In an article published in the wake of the event, The New York Times noted that, in the hours before his eighth and final event in the 2008 Games, had Michael Phelps been a country, “the Person’s Republic of Michael would have ranked fourth in gold medals [after China, the United States, and Germany] and been ahead of all but 14 countries in the medal count.” Only Soviet gymnast Larissa Latynina holds more total career Olympic medals with 18 (nine gold), compared to Phelps’s 16 (14 gold).

MISS SL ♛ Iceland 2018 –Amara
FIRST PHOTO CHALLENGE
Amara was born with the gift of fire. She discovered this talent during a tragic time losing her best friend in a fatal car accident caused by drunk driving on the night of her wedding day. It was through her grief that she would realize her gift. Discovering her gift at first was frightening and she even deemed herself a monster, however she felt it only necessary to use this gift for good. She tries to compensate for the loss and empty feeling that she must try to bring herself peace and feel the way she used to feel before the tragedy. Every day she puts on her leather attire at night while her husband sleeps and roams the streets for wrong doers in hopes to find her way back to who she was before the tragic loss of her friend. She wants to do something good with her gift in honor of her friend, so she takes it and used it to help others in hope to show people how to better their life and not let things take over their bodies to influence them into doing wrong with it... So even with fire you can control the flame....

Yup! Another drunk driver took out the same telephone pole that was last smashed by a drunk in January, causing us to have no internet for a week. Of the 3 poles that have been destroyed by the drunks on the weekends, this was the first time we didn't lose power when it happened. There also were not explosions, telephone poles on fire, or live power lines laying in the road. Nor was the road closed for 6 hours. All in all, this was a far cleaner break than usual.
However, there seemed to be about 3X as many Dominion Virginia Power trucks working on the replacement this time. They even had the new pole up next to the old pole for a day or two. I think this was to give Verizon a chance to move the phone box and NOT mess up my internet again. Awesome.
We also got to actually see the person who did it for the first time. We saw the drunk girl walk to go into the ambulance. She looked quite out of it -- pretty damn sure she was drunk.
They did turn our power off for a couple of hours the next day, which is when we took these pictures. They also directed traffic up the highschool turn lane -- lucky for them VDOT just extended the lane last year. Otherwise things would have gotten much more complicated.

British postcard, no. FA 228. Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon (Richard Donner, 1987).
American-Australian actor Mel Gibson (1956) became known worldwide thanks to the small-budgeted action film Mad Max (1979). He went on to star in such acclaimed films as Gallipoli (1981) and The Bounty (1984). In 1987, he became a superstar with the buddy cop action-comedy film series Lethal Weapon (1987-1998). As director of Braveheart (1995), he won both the Academy Award for best director and best film. Gibson also produced and directed The Passion of the Christ (2004) about the last phase of Jesus Christ's life on earth.
Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson was born in 1956 in Peekskill, New York, USA. He was the sixth of eleven children of Hutton Gibson, a railroad brakeman, and Anne Patricia (Reilly) Gibson. His mother was Irish, from County Longford, while his American-born father is of mostly Irish descent. His father moved the family from upstate New York to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, in 1968 after winning as a contestant on the game show Jeopardy! The family settled in New South Wales, where Mel's paternal grandmother, contralto opera singer Eva Mylott, was born. After high school, Mel studied at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, performing at the National Institute of Dramatic Arts alongside future film thespians Judy Davis and Geoffrey Rush. Here, he starred opposite Judy Davis in a production of 'Romeo and Juliet'. After college, Mel had a few stints on stage and starred in TV shows. Eventually, he was chosen to star in the films Mad Max (George Miller, 1979) and Tim (Michael Pate, 1979), co-starring Piper Laurie. The small-budgeted Mad Max made him known worldwide, while Tim garnered him an award for Best Actor from the Australian Film Institute, the Australian equivalent to the Oscar. Gibson got a reputation as a serious, versatile actor. He was a part of the movement dubbed the 'Australian New Wave' by the press. They were a group of filmmakers and performers who emerged from Down Under at about the same time and found work in other parts of the world. Other members included actress Judy Davis and directors George Miller, Gillian Armstrong and Peter Weir.
Mel Gibson went on to star in the World War I drama Gallipoli (Peter Weir, 1981), which earned him a second award for Best Actor from the AFI. In 1980, he married Robyn Moore and had seven children. In 1984, Mel made his American debut in The Bounty (Roger Donaldson, 1984), which co-starred Anthony Hopkins. Then in 1987, Mel starred in what would become his signature series, Lethal Weapon (Richard Donner, 1987), in which he played Martin Riggs. In 1990, he took on the starring role in Hamlet (Franco Zeffirelli, 1990) with Glenn Close, which garnered him some critical praise. He also made the more endearing Forever Young (Steve Miner. 1992) with Jamie Lee Curtis and the somewhat disturbing The Man Without a Face (Mel Gibson, 1993). 1995 brought his most famous role as Sir William Wallace in Braveheart (Mel Gibson, 1995), for which he won two Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. From there, he made such box office hits as Ransom (Ron Howard, 1996), Payback (Brian Helgeland, 1999) and The Patriot (Roland Emmerich, 2000). His later films include Signs (M. Night Shyamalan, 2002), and Edge of Darkness (Martin Campbell, 2010). For The Passion of the Christ (2004), which he directed, wrote and produced, he spent 25 million dollars of his own money. Back in 1992, he started doing research for the film that was not released until 2004. That year, he was the highest-paid celebrity with a reported $210,000,000 salary from his The Passion of the Christ (2004) profits, plus a potential $150,000,000 that is yet to be accounted for. The way Gibson portrayed the suffering of Christ caused however much controversy. He received further critical notice for his directorial work of the action-adventure film Apocalypto (2006), which is set in Mesoamerica during the early 16th century. He separated from his wife Robyn in June 2006. At the end of July 2006, Gibson was arrested for drunk driving in Malibu, California. During his arrest, he made derogatory comments about Jews and women. On 1 August 2006, he checked himself into a recovery program for alcohol abuse. He did three-year probation following the misdemeanour drunken driving arrest. Robyn finally filed for divorce in April 2009 but it wasn't finalised until December 2011, reportedly because it took them all that time to divide Gibson's estimated assets of $850 million. It is considered the biggest divorce payout in Hollywood history. In 2009, he made a first public appearance together with his girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva who was then three months pregnant with his daughter Lucia. The couple split in 2010. In 2014, he started a relationship with Rosalind Ross with whom he had his ninth child.

Clarity Coverdale Fury creates 30 ft cigarette, snuffs it out
MINNEAPOLIS — There is no shortage of big ideas at Clarity Coverdale Fury these days. From 12 foot wide hockey nets at collegiate hockey games across the state to a 30 ft high cigarette being extinguished along interstate 35W north of the Twin Cities, the agency has once again looked at larger than life concepts to reach beyond the traditional television, print and radio executions for its clients.
“Our Paul Bunyan sized cigarette should get Minnesotans thinking about quitting smoking in a really big way,” says Jac Coverdale Chief Creative Officer of Clarity Coverdale Fury. “With every trip back and forth to the cabin or the casino, smokers will be reminded that QUITPLANSM is ready to help when they are ready to quit.”
Even with the success of hundreds of online media sites, dozens of cable channels, endless podcasters and racks of niche magazines, brands can still reap large rewards by embracing everything from street marketing to larger than life, in your face executions like the monster cigarette outdoor billboard. Clarity Coverdale Fury is no Johnny-come-lately to big ideas and big executions. In 1991, Clarity Coverdale Fury partnered with Minnesota chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to hoist a demolished car from a fatal DWI accident onto a billboard along interstate 494 in Bloomington, Minn. It became the field trip destination for countless high school students. Media lined up from around the country to catch a glimpse of the carnage caused by drunken driving.
While it’s unlikely that anyone making a pilgrimage to highway 35 in Forest Lake will drive away with a lump in their throat or a tear in their eye, they most assuredly will have the image of the monster sized cigarette burning inside their mind as they approach the New Year thinking about quitting smoking. QUITPLAN services and Clarity Coverdale Fury are quick to remind folks that the oversized cigarette represents one powerful addiction and a pretty powerful image to get smokers thinking about making a change in behavior.
In April of this year Clarity Coverdale Fury received the O’Toole Award from the American Association of Advertising Agency (AAAA), recognizing the top creative agencies of the year in part due to the exemplary work created on behalf of MPAAT and QUITPLAN services. The agency also is the only Minneapolis agency recognized in the less then $7.5 million revenue category, and one of the few independently owned firms included among all nominated winners.
Five times in the last seven years, Clarity Coverdale Fury has been named one of the elite creative agencies in the U.S. by AAAA. The American Marketing Association has also recognized its work as some of the industry’s most effective campaigns in the country.
Clarity Coverdale Fury offers brand development, advertising, promotions and public relations to clients throughout the world. Current brands in the agency’s portfolio include QUITPLAN Services, Medtronic, International Dairy Queen, and Park Nicollet Health Services among others.

Project 52 - 2014 Ellenburg Photography's Photo Challenge ~ #9/ 52 ~ UP CLOSE & PERSONAL
As soon as I read the weekly theme for my 52 project I planned on grabbing a 100 Strangers shot ... it was simply too good a connection to miss.
And as soon as I saw Abraham ... I 100% HAD TO ASK!!!
I was actually on the verge of asking somebody else - a gentleman with a cool triangular goatee and a handlebar moustache and I'd already started walking towards him when suddenly a vibrant splash of colour caught my eye. When I glanced over and saw Abraham talking to one of the charity workers I stopped in my tracks and forgot all about the other bloke. I waited until he'd finished then walked straight up to him ... this couldn't end with anything other than a yes I reckoned ;).
He made me work for it though! First thing he did was step back and pose jazz hands style but then he launched into a performance of coyness, incredulity and demands for money (£100 no less) ... and had I asked him before? ... no ... although when he mentioned a bicycle I suddenly realised that I had seen him before - pretty sure it was right back at the start of my second round when my confidence was about zero.
Behind all the bravado though I got the impression that he was genuinely amazed to be asked - a fact which in turn amazes me.
Once I finally had agreement I asked him to take his ear buds off and asked him about his music tastes while he did so - he likes Bob Marley (who saw that coming), Elvis Presley, Lionel Ritchie and Stevie Wonder. He then in turn showed quite a bit of interest in my camera when I took it out of my bag and although I ended up not exploring that avenue with him he later on took a note of the exact make ... not sure why ... although given he queried how much it cost I guess he's in the market for a new camera. One thing I did learn is that he would like to study photography formally. I would almost certainly have followed up on this but after I'd taken a couple of shots my time was clearly up ...
.. so I asked him another question :).
Yep, you guessed it ... "what's the maddest thing you've ever done?". I was pretty sure I was on a winner here (because despite all my best efforts and no matter how many times this project has taught me not to - I still tend to pre-judge people) but for the second time in a row the question stumped my stranger. And then he went off on a tangent ...
... Abraham is from Ethiopa originally and politics and prejudice is a massive issue and no matter what your political leanings are you can be followed and hassled by the security forces on a regular basis. So 9 years ago Abraham, a grain merchant working for the family business, came across to Newcastle to sell his wares here.
I thought he had misunderstood my question but in retrospect I think I misunderstood his answer. So far "maddest things" has comprised bungee jumps, sky diving, drunk driving, getting a massage from an elephant, naked shenanigans with grannies, Forest Gump walkabouts, stoned motorcyclists, naked surfing through a Polish forest (sic), wet fish and one of my favourite encounters to date ... alligator wrestling ... but after that unashamedly self promoting trip down memory lane ... actually none of them quite match up to moving your entire life under those circumstances!
Abraham is hoping that if things go well he can get British citizenship next year. Deciding that I'd pushed my luck and imposed on him for long enough now I wished him well with that and thanked him for his time.
Abraham, thank you again for your time today - it was a really fun encounter and I wish I'd had my camera ready for the first few seconds. I hope you like your portrait. I love all the colour!!!

this is me at the age of 16. Actually I was part of a drunk driving program (every 15 minutes movie) to prevent kids from drinking and driving. A guy on the set took a lovely picture of me with a good reflection of the jail guard.
Shot this on the way home tonight. Bumped contrast, sharpened and posted to FB with the caption:
(I don't want to see any of you "Tagged" in this image!)
Have a safe & celebratory weekend everyone!

BACKSTORY: When we got back from X-Day, we discovered that it appeared our same telephone pole was hit AGAIN! This is the *3rd time* this year. (It happened 0 times in the 10 yrs preceeding, though the next pole down was taken out a few years ago.) Since we were out of town, there was no knowledge of an interruption to our power or internet service. It seems that, after going to the Verizon CEO's assistant in January, they now fix our internet without dicking us around for 12 days like they did in January.

Fire trucks of varying age, size, shape and color will roll down Littleton Boulevard June 19, kicking off the 25th Fire Truck Parade and Muster.
Organized by the Mile High Hook & Ladder all-volunteer antique fire truck club and hosted by the Littleton Fire and Rescue, the event includes the parade plus several hours of demonstrations, activities and games.
Traditionally, there are 40 to 50 vehicles in the parade, but that number could swell this year because the muster is being held as part of the 52nd National Summer Fire Truck Muster that draws owners and fire truck enthusiasts from all over the nation. In recent years, parade entries include Littleton first fire truck, delivered in 1914, as is Englewood’s 1930s fire truck.
The parade rolls out of the assembly area adjacent to Ralph Schomp Automotive at 5700 S. Broadway. The long line of fire equipment travels north on Broadway, turns west on Rafferty Gardens Road until the fire trucks make a left turn onto Bannock Street.
The procession follows Bannock Street to Littleton Boulevard, turns west and travels through the city’s downtown area.
The parade turns south on Curtis Street and culminates about 10 a.m. in the Arapahoe Community College parking lot at 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive for activities that run until about 2 p.m. All events are free and open to the public
The lineup for the muster includes safety demonstration, soap-box derby races, face painting, free fire truck rides and an number of activities.
The muster schedule also includes demonstration of the use of the “jaws of life” to rescue someone trapped in a crashed car, arrival of Air Life helicopter and demonstrationof the airport rescue firefighting vehicle nicknamed “Kermit.”
“I always look forward to the fire muster,” Centennial resident Craig Bailey said after reading the poster announcing the event. “I spent 22 years as a volunteer firefighter where I lived in rural Nebraska so I have always loved fire trucks so I have attended the fire muster for the past six or seven years. I guess I sort of passed the love on to my grandkids because they look forward to the fire muster as much as I do and they are already asking about the parade.”
Firefighters and equipment transform the parking lot into an attraction featuring demonstrations of equipment used to extract victims from wrecked vehicles, games like water-ball competition for junior firefighters, a chance to try out the drunk-driving simulator and fire truck rides. All the activities are free and open to the public.
About 50 fire vehicles are expected for the muster. A hit of the show is sure to be the 1901 Waterous Fire Steamer, a fire truck powered by coal that is an entry from the Reliance Fire Museum in Estes Park.
Schomp Automotive has been a major sponsor of the event since it began in 1984. The event was held in Brighton for about a dozen years and, just over a decade ago, it moved to Littleton.
Doug Klink, a fire truck collector, will have a number of entries in the muster parade. He owns 17 fire trucks and also owns the Reliance Fire Company Fire Truck Museum and Antique Fire Truck Restoration Facility.
