The Year of Living Carlos Dangerously
Anthony Weiner's sexting addiction nuked his political career (twice!), endangered his marriage (twice!), and turned him into a walking penis joke (forever!).
Marshall Sella tails Weiner through his doomed campaign for New York mayor, speaks candidly with The Imperfect Messenger himself, and learns there are greater lessons here than "Don't send junk shots to strangers." (Although, seriously: Don't send junk shots to strangers)
Forty-eight hours out from the New York city mayoral primary, Anthony Weiner had agreed to speak at the Bethany United Methodist Church in Brooklyn. The pastor, decked out in a perfectly white, long raiment, had really revved up the crowd. He was going through a visual presentation called "17 Principles of Success," and the sermon seemed to have lots of advice about money: about how doing things such as writing down your goals would put the power of the Lord in you, and how that power would make you a millionaire.
The Candidate arrived. I had gotten so accustomed to seeing his campaign uniform of rolled-up shirtsleeves that I blurted out, "A jacket? Who are you?"
"It's church, brutha!" said Weiner.
The pastor was describing step four of the seventeen-step presentation. Weiner and I felt a mutual dread that this was going to go not just long, but "power of the Lord" long.
Happily, the pastor took mercy and introduced Weiner, turning to him and intoning, "I salute your resilience. I salute the tiger in you!" Weiner gave a version of his usual speech, and there was singing. Then he took his leave, and I followed.
It was a splinteringly bright afternoon. We sat on a stoop a few doors down, a ridiculous place for a private talk about sexting or even campaigning; people were walking by, recognizing him, calling out to him. (Many had strolled out of the church early; they'd never be millionaires.) No one had an unkind word. Well, unless it was accidental: One man assured Weiner he was voting for him, adding, "I'm also voting for Eliot Spitzer!" as if the two men were running together on some kind of Degeneracy '13 ticket. Weiner visibly cringed.
I had a going theory about sexting and the whole twenty-first-century ant farm of technology that involves sex, and I wanted to float it by the Candidate. There's a pretty bright line between the people who regard sexting as a repugnant, unnatural practice and those who regard it as absolutely no big deal. In the main, people under 40 can't understand why it's even frowned upon. Everybody does it all the time. It's easy and fun and what the hell.
But politics, that fun-house reflection of how Americans are feeling, has a way of lagging far behind in such matters. In twenty years, one comedian remarked, it'll be strange if we have a president who hasn't sent cock shots around. That president will not be Anthony Weiner. He is going to be one of the final casualties in the moral war on sexting—a man who gained the entire world, then, through his own blindness, deceit, and prodigious sexting abilities, was brought low, rendered a punch line, and banished from the one career he was born to pursue.
Weiner mulled over my generational theory, then called it "overly simplistic," which is what people always say when they want to gain the intellectual high ground on a topic. Still: "A lot of times, when people said to me, 'You're being pilloried,' you could hear between the lines," he told me. "You could hear, 'I do this, too,' or 'I have this problem, too.' But what difference does that make? I have to talk to voters in their own vocabulary about it. That's hard.
"I will say this," he said, saying this: "I have no desire to walk into a bar and pick up a woman. I love my wife.
"And maybe if the Internet didn't exist?" he added. "Like, if I was running in 1955? I'd probably get elected mayor."
I started following Weiner around a few days after the bombshell of a fresh scandal. A 23-year-old legal researcher from southern Indiana named Sydney Leathers had revealed that Weiner had sexted her (using the nom de guerre "Carlos Danger") after his resignation from Congress in 2011. People in every corner of politics and pop culture were salivating. David Letterman was lampooning Weiner with a running gag (complete with cheesy graphics) called "Carlos Danger: Gaucho of Love." Over on Face the Nation, a baffled Bob Schieffer was calling him "flasher." Reporters from around the globe came to see the American Sexter—from Germany, Britain, Malaysia, you name it. I'd hang back and listen to them gossip.
"Did you see that woman lookin' at him?" one guy would say.
"Maybe he'll e-mail her," came the snickering reply. It was all very professional out there.
I walked about nine feet behind Weiner for more events than I can count, right up through the "victory party" on the night of the primary, when the Candidate's number of votes had pushed against the floor, at less than 5 percent. His long, long trail was surreal even by American campaign standards. In his favorite metaphor—and he would mention this many times—he recalled being at a subway stop, early on, greeting voters. On this dreamlike day, he had been surrounded by cameras. "They were in a semicircle," he told me. "Or even I think it might have been a full circle. Cameras from everywhere. And what made it such a powerful image is that voters were trying to squeeze through the media to talk to me. They were pushing past the Malaysian cameraman just to shake my hand and tell me what was concerning them."
It had all started out with such promise. Weiner and his wife, a charismatic senior aide to Hillary Clinton named Huma Abedin, had planned his re-entry into politics to a T. They'd consented to a high-profile cover story for The New York Times Magazine—a media flourish that, Abedin believed, would be the perfect rollout, as it would be the final word on the whole horrid sexting mess, putting it behind them forever. And then they would be on to an issue-driven run, the kind that drew on Weiner's tireless campaigning skills.
But then came the noise of these new allegations. He became the Entertainment, a political birthday clown, and when the press had walked away one too many times without a story about a heckler or a moment where Weiner had momentarily lost his cool, they let him vanish completely. His scrum of reporters dwindled down to nearly nothing. It was not uncommon for the press to be outnumbered by campaign workers. More than once, not counting the videographer Weiner had engaged to document the campaign for future, indeterminate use, I was the only journalist there.
The realities of the campaign didn't always match the caricature that so enthralled the tabloids. Such as this incongruous fact: Weiner was a deeply likable man. The press treated him as though he'd always been a loathsome miscreant who'd apparently found an unlocked window and snuck into the government. No one rises up through the City Council, then through twelve years in the House, purely by being a relentless prick. Yet he was so easy to cast as one. He had the look of an aggressor. The front of his skull sometimes seemed as though it wanted to shove straight through the tight skin of his face. Any elegance he did possess was undercut by the fact that he looked like a freeze-dried Bobby Kennedy.
What really pained Weiner was the coverage—not that it made sport of him; that was his doing. He just wanted some attention to his actual policy proposals. "I thought there'd be some safe harbor for the issues," he said to me. "Safe harbor for someone who wanted to write, 'You know what? He's got five ideas. He's an idiot, but he's got these five ideas.' "
He did not have five ideas. He had 125. Set out in two fairly substantive books, his so-called "Keys to the City" ranged from the high-profile issues of the day—single-payer health care, for instance—to things like Idea Number 42, a call to digitize the city budget.
While more successful candidates were sticking to bland platitudes ("I'll be back here in Far Rockaway all the time once elected mayor!"), Weiner had a microtechnician's grasp of how the city actually works. At one event in the farthest reaches of Queens, quite off the cuff, he asked if they still hadn't installed the comfort station at that corner of Little Bay Park; he was remembering a debate about a restroom, from 2005.
And yet in many simple things about his own life, Weiner seemed not really to remember a lot. I once asked if there was some politician he revered as a kid; he couldn't think of one—and only recently was he reminded that he'd been in student government in high school. Which he recalled "only vaguely." It even turned out that, truth be told, Weiner did not even recollect the names of all the women he sexted.
"Maybe I don't have the greatest connection with the emotional shit going on," he'd tell me, "but when it comes to looking at a problem in the city and how to fix it, that's where I'm at my best. That's where I'm good."
Good Anthony's memory scored political points everywhere he went, but Bad Anthony was never far behind. And that man, Bad Anthony, campaigned with his whole body: sawing the air with flat hands to batter his message across to the big crowds, tilting his head just an inch to telegraph his doubt in the other candidates, nimbly spinning halfway around to blow an infuriating kiss to his hecklers. Day after day, everywhere he went, Weiner's body language wouldn't shut the hell up.
That was the accidental genius of it, how the two Anthonys really teamed up to become a force. The physicality of these performances was almost sexual. More than any other candidate I've ever seen in the wild, Weiner was exposed out there. Without a keyboard in sight, he was sexting the crowd like crazy.
The range and subtlety of Weiner's gestures seemed to have no limits; there was never a wasted movement and certainly never a lazy one. He always seemed to be standing arms akimbo, jacketless, his shirtsleeves rolled up: I am a man who gets things done. He was so constantly akimbo that I believed this was a sign of his Darwinian existence as a born campaigner, trapped in what had always been what he called a "runty" body. In the political jungle, like the great horned owl or the mighty puffer fish, he was presenting a larger surface than his ever-shrinking 147-pound body, to intimidate predators and prey. He wanted to be big.
Politics was his natural habitat, and he indulged in every last bit of it. "For me," he would later say, "knocking on doors and running seventeen flights of stairs is absolutely natural. I'm a pretty highly evolved campaigning species."
One night early on, before his poll numbers had tanked, Weiner was in the middle of a body-language tour de force while talking to some kids in a park in the Bronx. Because his face was familiar, he was mobbed by people who wanted photos with him. Kids always wanted pics; fame was still the only promiscuity they understood. But adults wanted to pose, too. It should be noted that young women, for some reason, were keen for the keepsake, and they knew exactly who he was. Smiling for two cameras, Weiner was singing along with the blaring music. At the bridge of the song, synced with the band's percussion, he made a rhythmic bup-bup-bup-bup noise. He was in good spirits back then.
Then he walked away, alone for a moment, strolling like the Kennedys did when they wanted to look all pensive during a crisis. I thought I was my usual distance away when suddenly his arm was around me. Not just a hand on my shoulder; his whole arm was around my neck, in the way that your oldest friend would walk with you. "I put the bup-bup-bup in there," he said affably, as though he was picking up some conversation we'd left off earlier, "because they used to fire guns in the air at that part of the music! So now it's better just to make the sound."
As we strolled, the abnormality of this contact never really set in. It seemed like the most natural thing in the world. Weiner quite literally had a political gift for that, for the common touch. In a race, Weiner said, "people look at your bio or where you're from or even how you look—and they want that level of a quasi-connection. Letting people know that you'll fight for stuff they can't fight for. So either they want someone perfect or someone who has the best ideas."
Without claiming the faintest talent for psychiatry, I kept coming back to the idea that sexting with people he'd never met was inextricable from campaigning. Because isn't that a fairly spot-on description of sexting? Having a set of "quasi-connections"? Chasing the seductive shadows of false intimacy—not with one but with millions, both in the electorate and on the Internet? The Anthonys derived a lot of pleasure out of their respective habits. This was simply what they did. The main thing that divided Weiner up was unplanned and certainly unintended: Good Anthony had his fun in sunlight, wisecracking and singing on the trail. Bad Anthony had taken his pleasures alone and mainly by night.
You've probably seen some of Weiner's sexts. They usually went a little like this. But I'll clean up the language:
Carlos: "May I tell you what I pondered yesternight?"
Sydney: "That would please me so very much."
Carlos: "Still caressing your flowing locks, I see your cherished bosom heaving as you move to and fro. I reveal my eager manhood. But—what would you have me do?"
Sydney: "Ravage me."
All right, so I cleaned that up a lot. Except for that last phrase. Leathers actually wrote that line.
The portrait Sydney Leathers offered of Weiner had started out somewhat flattering; she said that had the two ever hooked up, the sex would have been very good. But soon realizing that the press was hungry for something less Weiner-friendly, she gradually adjusted her opinion. The Candidate, she told me, was obsessive almost to the point of physical improbability. "He needed constant attention," she said. "He'd get pissy if I didn't do exactly what he wanted. He was a big baby."
Far from being mortified by the sudden media attention, Leathers leaned into it, a flower turning toward the sun. "I'm basically a nerd," she told me, recalling those long-ago days in legal research, before her job was to do other things. "Now, people expect me to be embarrassed. But I think it's funny more than anything. I never did meet him in person. I've never seen Baby Carlos in real life. Though I guess I shouldn't call it 'Baby Carlos.' Too mean."
She quickly accepted an offer from the porn enterprise Vivid to star in an awkward soft-core clip for its website, then filmed a full-out porn flick for them with a Weiner look-alike. In this moment, she is still recognizable enough to get unwanted attention, if such a thing exists for her, in airports and on the street. "I mean, what the fuck!" she explained. "Why do I get 'bitch face' in airports? It's always from middle-aged women. I'm the Thomas Edison of sexting, and they hate it. They think I'm out to steal their husbands!"
I can vaguely understand those who are repulsed or simply mystified by sexting. It seems somewhat new—like drug use in sports, or kale. I remember receiving the most graphic pictures imaginable via e-mail in the late 1990s, and, sitting alone in a tiny room, it was as though the girl had appeared there by crazy magic. I heard her voice on the phone and stared at her alluring form. (No, thank you, Defense Department people who developed the Internet!)
This experience scarcely left me hobbled by guilt. In the years since, with long gaps, I've received a modest number of nude selfies from women and, to a far less extent, I've reciprocated. And I'm certainly not a rarity. The thing of it is: People who are in love send nude pics. I've received a few of those, and, yes, it was romantic, and, yes, it was sweet. People separated by long distances do it. People in lust, too. And a lot of people, like Weiner, do it without a whole lot of emotional investment. They like and want the anonymity. If the girl at the other end of the conversation can be anybody, you can be anybody.
But is any of this technically new and thus objectionable? Is it a practice to be shunned? Since the Dawn of Man, always doing the best we could with the current technology, we've been engaging in only slight variations on this sort of sexuality without interruption and (unless you allow it to break the heart of your beautiful wife, who also happens to be carrying your son) it's been an awful lot of fun.
Look at the evidence. Were the earliest love letters in human history, for example, G-rated? Aren't there—and I'm honestly asking—a few engorged schlongs in those breathtaking cave paintings of Lascaux? The same goes for telephones: Does anyone truly believe that phone sex started up only in the past twenty years? I'd bet that Alexander Graham Bell's second phone call, after the famous "Watson, come here; I want to see you!" consisted of the phrase, "Beatrice, I want to see you, too!" When did we become so fucking shy?
For the record, I have observed the unspoken laws of the High-Minded Sexter. I have never delusionally cheated on anyone by sexting, and I have always deleted pictures if so requested. Still, it bears admitting that there are photos of my as-far-as-you-know-impressive junk zooming around out there in the world. In the Mutually Assured Destruction realm of sexting, which is as tense and precarious as anything that happened during the Cold War, I have a well-stocked arsenal of my own, and I am prepared to tap in those nuclear codes. This is where Weiner, who had enthusiastically sent selfies, let it all go wrong: Mutually Assured Destruction doesn't work if one side has everything to lose and the other has everything to gain.
Weiner's sexting technique was so slipshod, so fraught with rookie mistakes and poker-style tells, that one cannot help but wonder: At some level, did he sabotage himself? Did his narcissism run so deep that he needed to be judged by the entire world? All the trappings—accidentally tweeting an erect selfie, including his face in the pics—suggested a real possibility that maybe Bad Anthony had rebelled, that he had subverted Weiner's quest to attain the one job he had ever truly wanted.
Only a fool would ask a man to explain his subconscious (by definition, all that stuff is, you know, sub a person's consciousness), but I did so, in the waning hours of the campaign. Self-sabotage isn't the rudest accusation you can level at someone.
"I've heard that," Weiner replied, nodding slowly. "Thought about it quite a bit. No doubt the obstacles in my way were obstacles I created. But I don't think so. I just didn't think of it all as a capital offense. And I rationalized it. I thought, 'This person's my friend. Why would they turn on me?' But it isn't about harm I've done to the world—it's about harm I've done to my wife. So rationalizing it is asinine."
The intoxication of sexting makes all of that easier to believe. No one marks their daybook with "5 P.M. Send cock pic to Jennifer." You do it purely in the moment, in the absolute belief that time will never pass. The fact that you're sending a picture taken right now matters. You are connecting with someone, somewhere, broadcasting live. You're in a half-dimension. There will never be consequences to what you are doing right at this moment.
The Weiner "victory party" was held in a place called Connolly's Pub on East 47th Street in Manhattan. As I walked up—and how could I have been surprised?—who should be holding a presser out front but Sydney Leathers, latterly known as Anonymous and, after some rather hasty plastic surgery, owner of a brand-new Jayne Mansfield-volume pair of breasts, which were on proud partial display. She seemed really happy to be there and in front of the cameras. Someone asked her why she was there, and she said she didn't really know but that she wanted to tell Weiner to stay out of the public eye.
She was really digging the attention. That sexty little legal researcher from Indiana had taken her shot, won the lottery, and made it: Today, she was a porn star.
Leathers, likely guided by her handlers from Vivid, was aggressive and cagey in her pursuit of her former friend, who actually sprinted through a McDonald's next door to gain entrance to his own party.
Though the bar was packed, the campaign had set aside a tiny press area, which consisted merely of a few ridiculously high bar chairs. I'd been there for ninety minutes when an older lady strolled in and sat next to me, also perching herself ludicrously high off the ground. We had a few happy words up there, and she grinned. And suddenly I was staring at Weiner's crocodile smile. There was no mistaking it. This was Anthony Weiner's mother. I'd heard about her every day: how she'd been a schoolteacher for thirty-one years, and a few other little things.
Fran Weiner seemed a little dazed by the hubbub, but she was happy to tell me about Anthony as a boy. "He was always eager to please," she said. "And charming, very engaged with people."
This was making all kinds of sense, so I asked Mrs. Weiner what sports he'd liked as a kid. She said he liked hockey, but then added something curious: "But he wasn't obsessive about it."
This had been a theme throughout my contact with Weiner. He always went out of his way—about sexting, about the New York Jets, about coffee, about everything—to assure me that he was not obsessive about any of it. He was focused on containing any suggestion that he lacked self-control. Somehow, his mother had picked up that habit, too.
I could have listened to Mrs. Weiner's tales all night. She was the foremost living historian of both the Anthonys, Bad and Good, every lifelong flair and flaw, and everything she said seemed to resonate.
"Anthony was sleeping through the night at five weeks," Mrs. Weiner was saying proudly. "And he woke up with a smile. Literally! He woke up with a smile."
Weiner finally entered to just the right tone of mournful celebration and delivered his brief speech. He was "an imperfect messenger," but he'd been willing to fight, and he would sleep well knowing that, for all the circus of it, his campaign had had the best ideas. In the speech, Huma was not heard of—but then, that had been vintage Weiner for the whole campaign. He just didn't want that to be tomorrow's headline. Not that it was ever his choice to make.
Then, ever so aptly, as he left the pub and tried to thread his way through reporters to his SUV, there was commotion. And the final media image of the campaign was that of Anthony Weiner, seen through a flash-speckled car window, with a strangely disconnected expression on his face, raising his middle finger.
Exactly one week to the hour after his concession speech, Weiner was stretched out on an off-white sofa in the Park Avenue South apartment where he, Huma, and their 20-month-old son, Jordan, live. His one-eyed Persian cat, Shaka, was lying near but not next to him. On a table behind him stared out an audience of old photos: among them, Huma's late father, appearing to issue a stern judgment, and the couple's wedding day, which in tonight's context looked like an elegantly posed question.
Leaning his head back like a fugitive who'd been run to ground at last, Weiner as usual had rolled up his sleeves on a button-down shirt, but this one was rumpled. He kept resting one or both stocking feet up on the coffee table. He looked drained, but five years younger than he had a week ago. He kept finishing sentences with "Whatever."
All the body language had gone out of him. His hands mostly stayed folded in his lap and, even in gestures, kept close to his body. Visually, he had gone quiet.
Things were getting back to normal. It had only been a week—and the end of a campaign feels like driving a car into a wall—but he was again able to take Jordan on little morning walks and make him breakfast. "He always used to yell 'Da-da-da' from bed," Weiner said, "but the campaign interceded, and then it was 'Mama' in the morning. And I thought, 'Fuck. I lost my one little thing I had.' But now he's back to calling Daddy in the morning, so that's good."
At 49, Weiner is barely middle-aged, so he has another lifetime ahead of him. Who knew what would come next in this man's career? He couldn't see running for office again: not for mayor, certainly not for Congress.
"Congress just isn't a good job anymore," he'd told me before the primary. "I was… I was okay at it. But why? Because I was a good talker about stuff, a good arguer about stuff. Not to overstate, but I was a pretty important member of Congress because I'd figured out the outside game pretty well. But if someone goes to Congress for thirty or forty years nowadays? They're doin' shit. They're doin' nothin'."
So maybe he'd do some consulting—but not political consulting, thank you. He'd met some excellent nonprofit people during the campaign. Perhaps he'd work with them. Or do some TV, potentially. "I'm okay with not living in fear of a Google Alert about some crazy thing coming up, or some woman showing up at my house."
Whatever: It was impossible to sweep aside the squalid, rather Grand Guignol spectacle of last week's "victory party." Weiner again was blaming himself for it—for not handling it.
"I feel bad saying this," he said calmly, "but I was really fried that night. It was such a taut moment, and the campaign was coming to an end, and I had tried not to lose my composure in what might be the last political speech of my life. My family was there. Huma's been kind of traumatized by this whole thing. So I was just completely frayed at the edges. But I knew immediately it was a mistake.
"Here's another thing about it," he added, compelled to argue against his own point. "I had just given the press seven minutes of content, where I said what I wanted to say. I'm not gonna answer if they want to talk about some broad who's standing on the street. It's weird: When you're in this, everyone is trying to be the viral moment. I was trying not to be."
In the space of a few sentences, he had just presented both sides of the incident at the party. He would continue debating himself like this for the next hour and was fairly convincing on both sides of everything.
At the end of every regret, there was always Huma. Oh, he showed contrition to the voters, but that was weak beer. He apologized to Huma and expressed his pain for her so frequently that there were times when I wondered whether he'd partly been trying to talk to her through the press. His honesty was challenged by all quarters, but his love for her seemed absolute. It was the core of him, the one thing he said—despite the lies—about which I never felt a trace of doubt.
I asked, had to ask, if they'd be staying together. "One thing I'm grateful for is that now I'm under no obligation to answer anything like this," he said. "But we've had a very rough time. It causes me a great deal of pain in the way she gets reported and the way she gets discussed. Her treatment in the press has been rough. It pains me because I deserve it. She doesn't.
"I duck it as best I can," he added, "but her reputation has become the Woman Who Married an Idiot and Stuck with Him. More of it rolls off my back, because that's the way I am constitutionally. She's more sensitive. I'm just an empty, soulless vessel, so it doesn't hurt me as much."
Weiner delivered that last remark with an utter lack of humor. At least, none was to be had from his face or voice, and his hands sure weren't talking tonight.
But he hadn't answered my question, so I needed to put it more bluntly: Now that the primary was over, would he and Huma be splitting up? Actually, I laughed at the absurdity of my own premise: Why would a political primary determine such a drastic personal decision—and with a kid in the mix?
Weiner laughed at the premise, too. "She'd stay with me if I broke twenty points!" he joked. "And actually if I made the runoff, she'd recommit the vows, in a Hawaii vacation. If I won she'd have a second child with me! I don't know what people think."
But the sheer stillness of him was unnerving. The campaign—for the moment—had hollowed him out. Everything he did seemed to exude ambivalence. He was devastated, but he was fine. Whatever. He was a lounging, breathing combination of defiance and remorse—and the remorse was always, always about Huma. The defiance: That was all his.
At long last, unencumbered by the campaign or the long-observed traditions of same, he finally seemed to think about sexting and scandal in a relad way, and it flowed out of him. Both sides of the issue did.
"You ask about the higher meaning of sexting, but it was remarkably meaning_less_," he said, blinking incredulously. "It was almost like a video game you played. One that didn't have much connection to reality."
Right on cue, Weiner's remorse entered the picture. "But this weird synapse in my mind fired in a different direction," he said, "and I realized, 'Wait a minute. It's not very significant to me. But it's significant to Huma. It doesn't really matter what I think about it. It kinda matters, the impact it's having on her.' And that switch going off made the game no longer interesting. It wasn't like playing Madden! It wasn't like playing an online role-playing game."
"Oh, great," I offered, trying to cheer him in the dumbest way. "Now people are gonna say, 'He does online role-playing!'"
Weiner laughed darkly. "Great. Get into that group."
But he wasn't going to let an apology emerge without some qualification, some tinkering. The Ping-Pong match he was playing against himself wasn't over. "To reduce what I did ad absurdum," he said, "I was sitting at a computer terminal going like this."
Here, he mimed typing on an invisible keyboard. But why would he apologize, to anyone, for that? What he deliberately didn't include was what he was "typing" and to whom and what it meant. Surely there was more than tapping that led to this season in hell. I also noted the one glaring flaw in his impression: that Weiner's "crime" hadn't really always involved typing with both hands.
"Clicky clicky clicky—send!" he said, still sexting away in the air. "Clicky clicky send. The intellectual part of my brain was saying, 'Why is this so bad?'"
He had known the answer to this question each time he asked it, and the answer was Huma. Still, he kept asking it, and it sounded like he meant it.
"So?" I asked. "If you could go back, would you do it all again? Would you run?"
"If I could go back?" he asked, letting the phrase roll around in his mind a little. "If you tell me I'm gonna get 5 percent, you tell me how I'd answer that question. The process I went through to decide to run was the right one; the way I talked about sexting was…not right."
Weiner had stopped moving his feet on and off the table. His arms had been static for so long that they now seemed vestigial. "But if you could go back and do those things differently," he asked, "would it get you to a different place? I don't know. So I'm not making myself crazy over it."
It was getting late. Huma would be back from her work dinner soon, and nobody had anything to gain from putting us together in the same room.
Anthony Weiner padded his way in front of me to the door. I told him he'd be back. Not to be polite or fill a gap; it's the way he's built. He pondered the remark briefly, then shrugged. But, for once, it was hard to read him. He might have meant: No, it's too late for all that. He might have meant: Of course I will.
But a heavy silence had settled over the apartment. Shaka the cat had found some comfier place to rest her one eye. Jordan, who'd been coughing in his room off and on during the evening, was deep asleep. Weiner and I shook hands and then he was alone.

SKF showcases advanced products and solutions at PTC Asia 2014
2014 October 29, 09:00 CEST
Gothenburg, Sweden, 29 October 2014: SKF presents advanced products and solutions across the five SKF technology platforms at PTC Asia 2014, showing how SKF Life Cycle Management (LCM) can help customers improve energy and resource efficiency, increase reliability, and reduce maintenance life cost.
For the first time since the acquisition of Kaydon the company participates in PTC Asia together with SKF with the ACE Shockabsorber display. ACE Shockabsorber is the world leader in deceleration technology and provides a linear deceleration with the lowest possible strain on the machine.
This year, SKF introduces the products and solutions mainly from Industrial Drives and Seals product lines, targeting OEMs, and end user applications and associated services in the areas of gear units, electric motors, fluid machinery and material handling, which shows SKF's excellent capacity of helping customers to improve the whole asset life cycle.
"For this year's PTC Asia, we bring a wide range of products and solutions with good record in global market to China which are well-able to help industrial customers better realize the Life Cycle Management, reduce the Total Cost of Ownership and fully showcase the value of 'The Power of Knowledge Engineering," says Mr Zhu Jiming, SKF China President.
One example of new innovations is the new generation of Mudblock cassette seals mainly for off-highway applications and Planetary Drive unit applications respectively. These solutions can reduce seal friction by up to 20%, offering both off-highway and industrial gear unit customers a solution that reduces energy loss and thus increases efficiency. SKF provides a best in class sealing solution which increases bearing life by preventing the ingress of contaminants and retaining the lubricant inside the bearing, thus also minimizing environmental impact due to oil leakage.
A new sealing solution for hydraulic motors, which helps to stop motor oil leakages for SKF customers, is also presented at the PTC Asia exhibition. The sealing solution has achieved success Europe. Brevini Fluid Power, a global hydraulic component manufacturer in Italy, faced the problem that a formerly functioning orbital motor seal suddenly started leaking after eight hours of runtime. SKF's new sealing solution not only fixed the problem quickly, but more importantly provided a long-term upgrade which fully met Brevini's technical requirements and achieved the full recognition from our customer.
The Electrical Motor is another highlight in the exhibition and this year we present a new exhibit which showcases our solutions for most robust and most efficient AC induction and PM Motor applications. Electric motors are everywhere, and the machines they run account for more than a quarter of the world's electricity consumption. SKF is helping OEMs meet increasing demands for quality products, shorter delivery times, and improved technical support. For end-users, SKF tools, technologies and services are driving overall efficiency and reducing total operating costs.
SKF also brings a hydraulic pump exhibit which demonstrates how SKF boost power density and extend service life for axial piston pumps. The market demand is for axial piston pumps to be more lightweight, high speed, high torque and robust reliability. SKF provides a solution that can increase power density, reduce friction and vibration, cut energy use and bring customers a series of benefits by adopting tapered roller bearing with a carbo nitrite surface, a customized H-ECOPUR seal and other improvements.
Experts from SKF's different segments are present to exchange ideas and have in-depth discussion with the visitors.
Established in China in 1991, Power Transmission and Control exhibition (PTC Asia) is a leading industry exhibition in power transmission and control technologies. As a leading knowledge engineering company, SKF has participated in this exhibition for six years to exhibit its advanced technologies and integrated solutions to meet the increasing needs of Asian customers.

South Africa: former leader Nelson Mandela recovers at home after hospital stay this month

- Image 3 of 3
JOHANNESBURG – South Africa's presidency says it has no updates on the condition of former leader Nelson Mandela, who is convalescing at home after a hospital stay and is reported to be doing better.
The South African Press Association quotes presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj as saying Saturday that he has no new information on 94-year-old Mandela, who was released from a hospital on Wednesday. The former president, who spent 27 years in prison under apartheid, was admitted Dec. 8 and received treatment for a lung infection.
He also had a procedure to remove gallstones.
Maharaj previously said doctors have noted progress in Mandela's condition but will continue to treat him at his home in the Johannesburg neighborhood of Houghton.

Man wanted in Houston murder found with mannequin in San Diego
A man wanted for questioning in a Houston murder case was arrested by San Diego police in a Costco parking lot on Tuesday night, according to San Diego officials.
Adam Gouy, 26, is seen as a person of interest in the murder of Samuel Luke Delaschott, 44, who was found dead in the parking lot of a Burger King in the Montrose neighborhood on July 15.
Delaschott suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three people could be seen running from Delaschott's vehicle in surveillance footage from that morning.
San Diego detectives told reporters there that they found Gouy and a woman sleeping in a white Ford van with Texas plates in a Costco parking lot in a suburb north of San Diego. They said there was a mannequin wearing red lipstick and a baseball cap in the front seat.
The woman, identified as Amber Herdman, 30, was also arrested at the scene, according to San Diego police. Both are facing charges there of being under the influence of a controlled substance.
Gouy has not been charged in the Delaschott murder.
Houston detectives were in San Diego on Thursday questioning Gouy. It is not yet known if he will be brought back to Houston.
Gouy, a Houston resident, had previously been sentenced to eight months in jail in 2007 for failing to register as a sex offender, stemming from a 2003 sexual assault charge of a child. His last known Houston address was located in the Heights, according to public records.

Please see if the solution posted in the KB article below works for you:
2. Re: Adobe reader has stopped workingMEMRY Apr 2, 2012 7:50 PM (in response to MEMRY)
still didn't work. any other ideas?
3. Re: Adobe reader has stopped workingIDMom Apr 11, 2012 12:09 PM (in response to MEMRY)
I am having the exact same problem on a new HP laptop running Windows 7. Adobe Reader won't even open. I can't view documents, let alone print (which the above suggestion seems to be regarding). I tried repairing the pre-installed version of Adobe X, uninstalling it, and reinstalling from a freshly downloaded version. Nothing. Same error message... Any help would be appreciated.
Follow-up: I found the page that allows you to choose which version you want to download rather than having it auto-detect which one. It offered version 9 as well as 10 for Windows 7. I tried version 9 and it seems to work. Not a real fix, but a good temporary one that doesn't require any 'hacking'. Just thought I'd share this finding in case it helps someone else. I hope it's only temporary, though. I'd still really like to be able to use the most current version... (hint, hint, to Adobe or Windows folks, whoever need to make the changes...)
4. Re: Adobe reader has stopped workingAnkit_Jain Apr 18, 2012 4:57 AM (in response to IDMom)
Please try and install the latest version of Reader (i.e. version 10.1.3) from http://get.adobe.com/reader
Is the issue still existing with Reader 10.1.3 as well?
If it does, please let me know the following details:
1. What is the exact error message that you are receiving. Please post a screenshot of the same if possible.
2. Which Antivirus software are you using? Does disabling the Antivirus software temporarily help?
3. in your knowledge do you have any 3rd party plug-ins installed for Reader X?
5. Re: Adobe reader has stopped workingIDMom Apr 22, 2012 2:25 PM (in response to Ankit_Jain)
Yes, I'm getting the same error with 10.1.0 MUI that was pre-installed on
my new machine and with 10.1.3 from a current download. Yes, I uninstalled
and restarted between installations.
1) Error message (in a small window):
Adobe Reader has stopped working
Windows is checking for a solution to the problem...
Then nothing happens - no follow up message and the program does not open.
2) Disabling the antivirus does not help. I was actually running with no
antivirus at all the first time I got the error. I have not been able to
get any version of Acrobat X to run on this machine under any conditions.
Once i tried to do a repair and it tried to run in Win XP compat mode.
Even that failed. (Sorry, I didn't write down that error message but it
had to do with not being able to open in safe mode.)
3) I am not aware of any 3rd party plug-ins installed. As I mentioned
above, I have not ever been able to get it open so anything there is would
have been pre-installed from the factory.
I'm running an HP Pavilion dv7 with Windows 7 SP1 and it has been
installing updates constantly so all updates should, hypothetically, be
there from Microsoft.
The only solution I've found so far is to go back to Reader version 9.5.1
which will install properly and open.
Note: Every installation attempt with any version of Adobe Reader has said
it was a successful install. Versions of X just won't open...
Thanks for your help. Hopefully this issue gets resolved quickly.

I have the same problem can't get reader to work at all on windows 7........nothing seems to work
7. Re: Adobe reader has stopped workingMEMRY Apr 23, 2012 9:01 PM (in response to dpete3)
I finally had to uninstall the current Adobe reader 10.1.3 version and install version 9..everything seems to be working fine now. I suggest to try that. I don't know if it is Adobe and Windows 7 not working together.
8. Re: Adobe reader has stopped workingdpete3 Jun 18, 2012 11:55 AM (in response to MEMRY)
Thanks, I'll try that

I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times. I ran a C Cleaner, registry cleaner, I am running Windows 7 and everything seems to be working. In Google Chrome when I try to open it just is a never changing grey page with the circle arrow. In IE 9 it say Adobe reader has stopped working, windows searchig for a soluion. Then it tells me that it is working fine. Well it's not because I cannot open any.pdf files. I cannot open them from file explorer either. I get an error every time saying Adobe reader has stopped working. When I try to open Adobe reader it does not open but immediately says it has stopped working? I have restarted computer, reinstalled? Now what? Please help!!!!!
11. Re: Adobe reader has stopped workingMEMRY Jun 13, 2012 10:46 PM (in response to PookieHOS)
If you are trying to run version 10.2 or higher it will not work. What I had to do was finally install version 9 then it worked. Good luck
12. Re: Adobe reader has stopped workingPookieHOS Jun 18, 2012 6:01 AM (in response to MEMRY)
I finally did this and now am running version 9.5 and it seems to be working just fine again. Thanks!

It looks like you work for Adobe. Is there no more permanent free reader available? I installed this newer DC version (didn't seem to be an option) and now it says that my free "trial" is over and I can get a generous purchase price. Maybe I am misunderstanding. I don't really use pdf much except when it comes in docs from another trusted source and I have to open it. Would like to understand this situation better. Like is there a free simple reader available? I will just reinstall that if there is.

Curioso is inspired by the Cabinets of Curiosities. The central line of a Renaissance Cabinet of Curiosities is the collector himself, who collects in an encyclopaedic manner, and according to his own criteria, heterogeneous objects which he then organises according to his tastes, interests and passions. It is a subjective process, resulting in the reproduction of a personal and often magical world.
This is the founding principle of my work. I assemble images of extraordinary and disquieting animals, portraits of ambiguous temporality and contemporary machines that amazingly resemble to decors of the past.
In my work, I question the professional practice of photography — architecture, still-life or scientific ones — which I use to build my collection and for which I then seek a shape, a way of rendering. I choose my subjects mainly driven by fascination and curiosity, two feelings which I aim to transpose into images. In order to achieve this, I seek the underlying tensions between the images by linking contrasted subjects so to awaken the reader's curiosity and to intrigue him.
These repeated links enable again the reunification of the realm of science with the world of magic, two domains that are clearly distinct nowadays, but which had a long intermingled history in our past culture.
This way of setting my images underlines the heterogeneous nature of the subjects. Subjects of different nature lay side by side, images of different sizes overlap: the aim of this approach is to evoke connections and highlight contrasts of thematic and temporal nature, of colours, etc., but is also to create motion and to play with space, thus inviting the reader to wander among topics and images. The project is still in progress.

NEW YORK – For the first time in 16 years, the Orioles will have three elected starters in baseball's annual All-Star Game — the most of any team in the majors — and will have a total of four players on the American League team for the first time since 2005.
First baseman Chris Davis, who led all players with 8,272,243 votes, shortstop J.J.Hardy and center fielder Adam Jones were elected by the fans for the first times in their careers and will start the annual exhibition July 16 at Citi Field in New York.
Orioles third baseman Manny Machado, who turned 21 Saturday and hasn't played a full season in the majors, finished second in the fan voting at third base to the Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera, the reigning AL Most Valuable Player, but was named as a reserve. Davis and Machado will be making their first appearance in the Midsummer Classic, Hardy his second and Jones his third.
"I mean it's crazy," said Machado, who leads the big leagues with 39 doubles. "It's crazy what I've been through my first year in major league baseball, making the playoffs last year, just having two months into the league and obviously now making the All-Star [team] and having such good success right now."
The Orioles, who fell to third place in the American League East with a loss to the New York Yankees on Saturday, have not had three All-Star starters since third baseman Cal Ripken Jr., outfielder Brady Anderson and second baseman Roberto Alomar were elected in 1997.
No other AL team had more than one starter elected this year; three teams in the National League have two starters.
"It's going to be awesome, having that many guys, especially three starters," said Jones, who was an All-Star in 2009 and 2012, but has never started. "You're going to see some of the cornerstone positions, first [base], center field and shortstop, will have O's across their chest. I think that's a pretty strong statement ... from a baseball standpoint."
Jones outstripped Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels for the most votes for any AL outfielder, receiving 6,793,577. He joins Hall of Famer Frank Robinson (1970-1971), Ken Singleton (1981) and Anderson as the only outfielders in Orioles history to be voted to an All-Star team by the fans.
"I think, for me, it's more humbling," Jones said. "It's almost 5 million votes that have been tallied for myself. That's humbling. I know Birdland has been very, very strong in voting this year."
The last time the Orioles had an elected starter was in 2005, when Miguel Tejada and Brian Roberts earned nods from the fans. The Orioles had four All-Stars that year as well, with closer B.J. Ryan and third baseman Melvin Mora joining Tejada and Roberts. From 2001 to 2011, the Orioles had only one All-Star in each year but 2005. Last season they had three.
"I'm proud of our guys," said Davis, who leads the majors with 33 home runs. "It just says a lot about what we've got going on here. We are obviously headed in the right direction. And the fact that everybody is starting to take notice means a lot."
In 1970, the Orioles had a franchise-record seven players named as All-Stars and four starters: outfielder Frank Robinson, first baseman Boog Powell, pitcher Jim Palmer and second baseman Davey Johnson. Only Powell and Robinson were elected, however. So this year's squad actually has more starters elected by the fans than that powerhouse team.
"I think with what we did last year, I think really people are starting to notice what we did this year," said Hardy, who was an All-Star reserve with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2007 but has never made the AL squad. "It's awesome for all the guys on this team. That just shows the fans are showing their support."
The news Saturday was bittersweet, however, because the Orioles were hoping they would have even more representatives. Right fielder Nick Markakis had been the third-highest vote-getter among outfielders — three are elected to start — until he was passed by Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista last week. Markakis has never made an All-Star team.
In the end, Bautista, a former Oriole, had 3,999,631 votes to Markakis' 3,783,189.
"Had a tough conversation with Nicky, and he responded just as I thought he would," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "[Markakis] said, 'I'm real happy for the guys and they should get it.' It's more about where we end up as a team."
Jones said not having Markakis join him was a disappointment, but he is holding out hope Markakis, who is hitting .288 with eight homers, 43 RBIs and 52 runs scored could be added as an injury replacement.
"Me, personally, I wanted Markakis. You all know him, he doesn't care," said Jones, who is hitting .290 with 15 homers and 59RBIs. "But he's a guy who has put up numbers in his career. He plays every single day. He knows how to play the game. He's one of the best right fielders in the game to me. He just doesn't get the attention because that's not who he is."
Catcher Matt Wieters, an All-Star the in 2011 and 2012; starter Chris Tillman, who has 10 wins; and closer Jim Johnson, who has 29 saves, were thought to be in consideration. None was named as a "Final Vote" candidate to be decided by additional fan voting this week. Wieters finished second at catcher and McLouth finished fifth among outfielders — testament to the "Vote Orange" events the Orioles had throughout the city in the past month that encouraged fans to fill out ballots.
Consequently, the Orioles are well represented — no other AL East team has as many as four All-Stars. The Boston Red Sox and Toronto each had three (including injured Boston pitcher Clay Buchholz, who has been replaced), the Yankees had two and the Tampa Bay Rays one. Boston, Toronto and the Yankees each have a candidate in the Final Vote. The last time the Yankees had just two All-Stars was in 1993. The Tigers led the majors with six selections.
"I think anytime you are getting that recognition not only from your fan base but from everybody across the nation, I think it feels good to know that people are watching," Davis said. "I think what we did last year toward the end of the season really kind of opened people's eyes to the fact that there's some good baseball being played in Baltimore. And the fact that we have a number of guys going to the All-Star Game again this year just shows that we're doing something right."

The Ramsey County Commission met for their regular meeting Tuesday morning and began discussing what options were available for a short-term, low-risk juvenile care facility.
The Ramsey County Commission met for their regular meeting Tuesday morning and began discussing what options were available for a short-term, low-risk juvenile care facility.
The commission raised questions about a potential space for housing the 'attendant care services' meant for low-level juvenile offenders. According to district judge Donovan Foughty, Ramsey County has an obligation to keep juveniles safe while in custody. As the ongoing search for the facility suffices, law enforcement officers will continue transporting juveniles to Grand Forks. "If we had a space for attendant care … I think that would work because you could go to different areas. For instance, if Spirit Lake needed it or Ramsey County needed it. I think there's a real need," said judge Foughty.
Next, Veterans service officer, Stacy Twete requested funding for a new scanner, as digital files are becoming more popular to view and share files. State medical files and records in hospitals and clinics recently made this change, which continues to improve the efficacy of patient/employee care and services. "I can use the system from both Ramsey and Nelson Counties," said Twete. "That's the simplification of going electronic." He said the annual operating fee is $400. The commission carried a motion to pay 50 per cent of the annual fee, plus 50 per cent for the scanner itself, which Twete estimated to cost around $864.
After months of confusion and scrutiny about the use of misconstrued grant funds, a motion was carried to pay a radio programming bill of more than $22,000 to Hy-Z Wireless. Kristen Nelson, Ramsey County Emergency Manager said although she attempted to negotiate final costs with Hy-Z, the programming was complete and the price was "set and done."
"I think ... we're one hundred per cent sure there's no scam going on here," said Kevin Fieldsend, who also attended the Hy-Z meeting with Nelsen. "We did find out that it was Stone's (Mobile) that lost the invoice, it wasn't Hy-Z that lost the invoice," he clarified. Nelsen added that no other agencies were able to help relieve costs for the tabled bill.
In other business, commission members discussed the ongoing debate of the law enforcement center's staff and personnel issues. As well as inmate fees for local and federal prisoners. "If jailers aren't trained well in defensive tactics, that's a major liability concern," said Lonnie Olson, Rasmey County States Attorney.
The hiring and retention of jail attendant guards and the costs involved in transporting juveniles remains an issue of concern for the commission.

12.7% of 30g is 3.81g. KA rounded up from 3.81g to 4g for the label.Labeling gives you an entire gram window for rounding. 2.5 to 3.49 is 3g and 3.5 to 4.49 is 4g*Normally, nutritional label protein quantities are not the way to calculate protein percentage, but, based on the regulations, we now know that the Sam's bread flour has to contain between 8.3% to 11.6% protein. Even at it's maximum, 11.6% is too low for pizza.*http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/GuidanceDocuments/FoodLabelingNutrition/FoodLabelingGuide/ucm064932.htm
Got it, thanks. I'm guessing that's why some places list protein +/- .5 ? http://giustos.com/professional/flours/unbleached-white-flours/artisan-unbleached-malted-bread-flour.html
The +/- variances on flour specs are a little different. Those actually reflect varying protein levels from batch to batch in the flour that they mill. There are some that believe that a quality flour should have a tighter range than a less quality flour, and, while I subscribe to that when the range starts getting ridiculously large (I believe Honeyville is renowned for their huge variances), I generally don't think the folks with precise numbers are all that precise, and I don't think the places with marginal ranges (such as +/- .5) really use the full range all of the time, so the difference between the marginal and precise millers might not be all that great. I think that if these +/- .5 folks actually did vary a full percentage point between shipments of flour, they'd lose a lot of commercial customers very quickly. Adjustments for new bags of flour are always expected, but, if, say, a 13% +/-.5% flour shipped a batch of 12.5% one week and then 13.5% the next, that wouldn't require an adjustment, that would require a reformulation. Nobody would put up with that.
The bread flour might not be strong enough.

Connectors & Adapters
The purpose of connectors and adapters is generally to achieve compatibility between different electronic systems. Since you are dealing with video and audio applications, these items are valuable in putting together a surveillance system that includes cameras, a DVR, and a monitor for viewing.
HomeSecurityStore.com has a selection of BNC connectors, RCA connectors, and DC adapters, plus a BNC male to RCA female connector and vice versa. A double female connector made to split two male BNC connectors is also available. The same goes for the male/female split of two DC adapters.
The aforementioned connectors and adapters are more traditional and common, but we also have connectors that should be useful in surveillance which utilize more advanced technology.
One connector for purchase deals with connecting BNC cable to Cat 5. This particular type of video transceiver allows you to send power and video signals using a single Cat 5 or higher cable. (Cat 5 wire is a new standard of wiring that can be used for standard data networking, phone systems, and video transmission.)
Another more expensive connecting device is one that converts analog video and audio to digital via a USB port. You can use this with a variety of applications including recording directly into your computer's hard drive, therefore eliminating the need for a separate DVR.
Putting together a surveillance security system can be simple and worry-free if you have the right tools, knowledge, and equipment. Part of that equipment includes the appropriate connectors and adapters.

Early 2015 Release Possible for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain
A leaked image of Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes hints at the launch window of its full-fledged followup, The Phantom Pain.
IGN reported that a Reddit user's copy of Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes showed a special message when trying to register it. Registering Ground Zeroes resulted in screen saying that the player would receive downloadable content for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain in early 2015. This copy of Ground Zeroes was sold before its official March 18 release date.
In all likelihood, the DLC for The Phantom Pain will be ready upon its debut. This is due to the frequency in which top tier titles have had retailer-specific DLC and DLC that depended on previous incarnations of the series both ready on its launch date (such as the original Plasma Cutter DLC in Dead Space 2). This points towards The Phantom Pain's release coinciding with the availability of its Ground Zeroes' tie-in DLC.

"Big Love" Goes Big In Production
By Kelly O'Brien '15
November 13, 2013
There is nothing small about the play "Big Love." As the Department of Theatre of Arts tackles the mountainous theme of love in its play from November 14-17 and 21-24, actors will tackle each other in stage combat and rappel onto the stage like mountaineers.
These unique theatrical techniques separate this contemporary comedic version of one of the oldest Greek dramas from other productions.
"This is by far one of the more physical shows I've directed," said Scott Kanoff, interim chair of Theatre Arts. "Playwright Charles Mee asks for a potent physical approach to the production where deep-seated passions erupt with particular force and frequency, much more so, and in a much more heightened, stylized way than in realistic plays."
The storyline calls for big production, as 50 Greek brides, all sisters, flee to Italy to escape forced marriage to 50 grooms, all brothers. When the men follow the women to demand their return, they rappel from a helicopter to invade the women's villa.
The actors learned rappelling from Markin Center climbing wall manager Cody Haas.
"This is the first time I've ever had actors rappel," said stage manager Sahara Alphonso '14. "It gives the feeling that the women are helpless to these masculine, G.I.-type of men who will do what they want when they want."
Both the men and the women release their frustrations through combat. The play features stick fighting, boxing, body throws and hand-to-hand combat, all of which culminates in a fight scene that depicts a drowning, eye gouging, suffocation and neck snapping.
"It flows like an action flick," Alphonso said.
The stage combat and fight choreography is by Hunter C. Smith, a stunt man, theatrical combatant and fight director from Los Angeles, who is a former student of Kanoff at the University of Texas.
"There's a whole vocabulary of movement and dance in this production," Smith said. "It's a kind of underlying parallel physical life that runs concurrently alongside the narrative."
Kanoff believes his students' hard work in the production of the play will pay off.
"It's exceptionally challenging for the actors and me but very theatrical and fun for an audience," he said. "I would encourage people to see 'Big Love' for its spectacle, wide variety of music, eclectic mix of theatrical styles, warped humor, larger-than-life passions and big ideas."
