Film festival in Key West features a Hemingway and Oscar winners
An Oscar-winning screenwriter, the director of two Academy Award winning pictures, a man who can bend steel and a drug smuggler from Miami's notorious past will be featured in person at the second annual Key West Film Festival.
So will Oscar-nominated actress Mariel Hemingway. She will conduct a Q&A session and attend a special event at the museum inside the former home of her late grandfather, Ernest Hemingway. She's promoting her new documentary, Running from Crazy, which delves into her family's history of mental illness and suicides. At least seven members of her family have taken their own lives, including her sister Margaux and her iconic grandfather. Hemingway shot himself in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun at age 61, four months before Mariel was born.
The festival also is showing several happy films that will make you laugh, including director Josh Greenbaum's The Short Game, in which he follows the lives of eight of the world's elite junior golfers for one year. The five boys and three girls are just 6 and 7 years old — "the last age before kids get self aware or self conscious," he says. "They say they want to grow up and be astronauts, and they really mean it. It's really a magical age."
The festival was founded by Brooke Christian, executive vice president of a Washington-based global translation services company. His father has lived in Key West since 1992 and Christian thought the tourist town would be a great place for such a creative event.
It was a lunch with a corporate client in Bethesda, Md., that "pushed me over the top," Christian said. The client mentioned a French film festival being held in Richmond, Va. "Apparently they have a stipend from the French Embassy," he said. "But if they could make it financially viable than I could make a film festival work in Key West."
The next step was to decide what kind of film festival to have. There have been about 9,700 film festivals worldwide in the past 15 years and about 3,000 of them are currently active, according to a 2013 study done by writer/producer Stephen Follows.
South Florida is a hotbed for them. In addition to the major festivals in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, there are several smaller ones with themes that include American Black, Sicilian, Miami Short Film, Miami Jewish, Israel, Chilean and Brazilian. And Key Largo recently hosted its first Humphrey Bogart Film Festival.
"When we first launched the Key West Film Festival, we thought: 'Do we want to theme this thing and put in a niche?' " Christian said. "But we wanted to get a broader base and Key West is such a diverse community."
The festival, which runs through Sunday, will showcase an eclectic array of about 35 films. The schedule and ticket information is available at kwfilmfest.com.
"We've got a good mix of bigger spotlight titles, American independents, small budget documentaries, foreign language films and offerings for the gay and lesbian audience," said program director Michael Tuckman, founder of New York-based M Tuckman Media.
The festival also has a good selection of Florida-related films assembled by Kareem Tabsch, co-founder of O Cinema in Wynwood and Miami Shores.
The films are being shown at the San Carlos Institute on Duval Street and the Tropic Cinema art house, just a two-minute walk away on Eaton Street.
The San Carlos Institute, an historic landmark founded in 1871 by Cuban exiles, has a 350-seat theatre with plush red seats. It will show the bigger titles of the festival, including August Osage County. Academy Award winners Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts star in the film, about a family forced by tragedy to reunite in their Oklahoma home and face their dysfunctional mother.
The Tropic Cinema has a 150-seat theatre and three 50-seat screening rooms that are "really intimate and cozy and a cool place to see some of the little new films," said Tropic Cinema executive director Matthew Helmerich.
Billy Corben, who directed Cocaine Cowboys, will be at the San Carlos at 2:30 p.m. Sunday to show extensive clips from his new version of that movie, Cocaine Cowboys Reloaded, which will be released on March 24. Between clips, he will have a Q&A about the documentary that combines interviews and archival footage of Miami's drug smuggling of the 1980s.
"It's a wholesale re-edit of the first movie from scratch," Corben said.
New footage will include the 1981 case of the Kendall Six, one of the worst mass murders in Miami history. "It's still an unsolved homicide, although it definitely was ordered by [cocaine godmother] Griselda Blanco," Corben said.
I am Divine
Director John Waters will perform his one-man show "This Filthy World" after a screening of the documentary I am Divine, at 7 p.m. Thursday at the San Carlos Institute.
Other Hollywood heavy hitters will attend a segment produced by the Tropic Cinema called Screenwriters' Spotlight. The panel includes Terry George, who last year won the Oscar for best live action film with The Shore and is on the art house's board. George also directed Hotel Rwanda, about the 1994 Rwandan genocide, which earned critical acclaim.
George persuaded his friend Paul Haggis to attend. Haggis was the screenwriter and producer on consecutive Academy Award winning pictures — 2004 Million Dollar Baby starring Clint Eastwood and 2005 Crash.
Author Judy Blume, a part-time Key West resident who wrote the screen play for Tiger Eyes (her own book), rounds out the panel.
Bending Steel
The Short Game
For Tuckman, one of his favorite films of the festival is Broken Circle Breakdown, Belgium's entry to the Oscars for best foreign film. The tearjerker, with a great bluegrass soundtrack, tells the story of a doomed young couple with a daughter battling leukemia.
"We always tell our audiences to give these unknown movies a try and get an all-access pass," Tuckman said. "You have the ability to walk in and out of all the screenings. You never know what you might discover."

My favorite part of the book was the part where the witch's shoes fall off. I liked the pictures especially because the kitty was on almost every page. The witch was my favorite character because the artist drew her with a little bit of hair and a head full of bows. The witch also says my favorite quote,
"Nibble, nibble, little mousie Who's that nibbling on my housie?"
I felt good reading this book because the witch dies. The step-mother made me feel bad because I do not like mean people.
I really want everyone to read this book because everyone must like witches. Boys will especially like this book because if they like monsters, they will like witches and this book.

Have I just felt an earthquake?
Fujitsu Limited and Toshiba Corporation announced that today they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to merge their mobile phone businesses.
link: Fujitsu and Toshiba Sign MOU to Merge Mobile Phone Businesses : Fujitsu Global
Toshiba and Fujistu? If you're an international readers, you've probably never touched a handset from either. In Japan, you might just have. As per tradition, those phones are rebranded via the operators.
Toshiba provides handsets for KDDI Corporation mainly, some to NTT DoCoMo and a few to Softbank Mobile. Fujistu only deals with the
first second.
Yet, it's Fujitsu who will hold most of the shares (estimates ranging from 70 to 80 percent) of that new entity which could bear its name. Why? Well, it's produces a lot of so-called dumb phones, which I would qualify as gimmicky phones, since they boast such amazing features as waterproof capability, perfume holder and metallic yellow color.
A lot of dumb phones, but no real smart phones. Toshiba, on the other hand, has released the internationally recognized T-01A. You know a very thin unusable phone based with a custom-built UI to hide Windows Mobile 6.1.
What a blast it was. It even got a successor, the TG02, a decent effort with less emphasis on hiding WinMo 6.5. Another hit. Not.
Anyway, join the two companies and you've got a juggernaut holding less than 1% of worldwide market share. Which means they're basically selling only in Japan.
With some success, to be fair. All those scented waterproof pink phones do sell. The company will actually become the 2nd biggest handset seller with 18.7% of the market, right behind Sharp (that other company you have seen phones from, right?) which holds 26.1%.
The two companies are merging in order to strengthen their smartphone handset development -saturation not being a strong enough word when it comes to the dumb phone segment, 25% mobile phone shipment plunge last year cannot be understated.
That's a good idea. A better one would be to forgo Windows Mobile for a while -at least until Windows Phone 7- and get in the Android boat. That's just my two cents, but when you witness 50,000 pre-orders for the Sony Ericsson (I'm certain you have heard about that company this time) Android-based Xperias, that shows you the Japanese market, for all Galapagos it can be, is ready for some action.
Some action dutifully provided by the elephant in the room, Apple's iPhone. It might hold a tiny share of the market (let's say 3% for the sake of debate) with almost 3m handset sold, but has clearly set a new pace in a country which for some time was used to dictate all the mobile rules.
Need one more official reason behind the joint-venture, besides the unspoken-of Casio, Hitachi and NEC mobile merger? Overseas expansion plans. Well, the phones are already mostly made in China. Oh, they're talking about actually selling their handsets abroad. Ok then. Good luck.
Have you felt an earthquake? I didn't.
ERRATUM: Thanks to community member Dan for spotting the factual mistake I did out of hastiness: Fujitsu only manufactures handsets for NTT DoCoMo and not KDDI.

SOCORRO, N.M., Oct. 20, 2003 -- His Royal Highness The Prince Andrew, Duke of York, visited several New Mexico Tech research facilities today, including the mountaintop site of the university's soon-to-be-constructed Magdalena Ridge Observatory (MRO), located 16 miles west of Socorro atop the Magdalena Mountains.
(Left: Prince Andrew prepares to detonate a demonstration of a car bomb.)
The Duke of York's daylong tour of New Mexico Tech research centers also included viewing an afternoon explosives demonstration at a field testing site of the university's Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC), as well as a walk-through tour of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Array Operations Center. An estimated crowd of about 250 onlookers waved to the Duke and his entourage as they walked across the Tech campus to depart later in the afternoon.
(Right: Prince Andrew meets Ann Murphy Daily, president of the New Mexico Tech Board of Regents, while Pres. López looks on.)

New Facts on the Gender Gap from the World Bank
The World Bank's latest World Development Report, which focuses on gender equality around the world, offers some stark facts about how women and girls fare in developing countries despite decades of progress.
Wealth: Women represent 40% of the world's labor force but hold just 1% of the world's wealth.
Wages: Salaried women workers earn 62 cents for every $1 that men earn in Germany, 64 cents in India and about 80 cents in Mexico and Egypt. Women entrepreneurs fare far worse, earning 34 cents for every $1 men earn in Ethiopia and just 12 cents in Bangladesh relative to every $1 for men.
Mortality: Women and girls are more likely to die relative to men and boys in low and middle-income countries, with 3.9 million "missing" women and girls each year under the age of 60, the report says. At least 40% of those are never born, one-sixth die in infancy and a third in their reproductive years. The problem is worst in sub-Saharan Africa and countries hit by HIV/AIDS.
Education: Women now account for more than half the world's university students, and 60 countries have more young women than men in universities. Primary-education disparities between boys and girls have closed in almost all nations. And in secondary education, girls now outnumber boys in 45 developing countries. But ethnicity combined with poverty can be a barrier: two-thirds of out-of-school girls around the world belong to ethnic minority groups.
The report, released Sunday night, says eliminating barriers for women can increase output per worker by 3% to 25% across a range of countries.
"Countries that create better opportunities and conditions for women and girls can raise productivity, improve outcomes for children, make institutions more representative, and advance development prospects for all," the bank said.

Aging well: A healthy diet plan for seniors
Healthy eating at any age is important. But as people get older, their needs shift slightly. They still need fruits, vegetables, proteins and dairy, but how much and in what ratio may change.
Physically, seniors may also need to adjust their diet to accommodate different lifestyles, living situations or physical limitations.
Remember the old rules
Although seniors may feel liberated from some of the obligations of their younger years, the food pyramid isn't one of them.
Alongside protecting against conditions like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, eating well can also improve brain function in seniors, according to the National Library of Medicine.
Adults who ate healthy, reports the National Library of Science, improved their chances of maintaining skills like:
- Memory
- Reasoning
- Multitasking
- Problem solving
- Planning
Also, losing teeth or trouble with chewing and swallowing may lead seniors to opt for easier-to-consume foods like soft bread or rice, according to the Health in Aging Foundation.
Of course, these foods have their place. But relying too heavily on them decreases the variety of nutrient intake, and that does damage to overall health.
Get in your fruit and vegetables
Seniors may be less willing to go to the supermarket for fresh food because driving and mobility may be an issue. Or they may be having trouble with fine motor skills, so they have difficulty cutting or chopping fruits and vegetables.
If they can't chop up their fruits anymore, they can try juicing. A juicer can extract the juice from fruits for drinking. It's a good alternative method of getting these nutrients for those unable to eat the foods themselves, says the American Cancer Society.
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
With age, the sense of thirst may decrease, according to the National Institute on Aging. The body becomes less timely about warning when water is needed.
Seniors' decreased ability to regulate water balance in the body puts them at risk for dehydration, warns the American College of Sports Medicine.
Dehydration in older individuals worsens conditions like hypertension, cerebrovascular disease or other chronic conditions.
Luckily, preventing dehydration is easy by drinking water throughout the day or eating food with lots of water in it, such as soup.
Incorporate more protein
Some people have trouble getting protein when they're older because they're not taking in the proper amount of daily calories. Although they need fewer calories, older adults still require the nutrients that protein provides, reports the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
A few ways to get creative about protein intake, suggests the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, include:
- Adding beans to your diet by throwing them in salads or rice
- Replacing milk with water in recipes—where it tastes good, anyway
- Mixing dry milk powder into things like soup or mashed potatoes
- Eating eggs, a good source of protein
- Adding low-fat cheese to add taste and nutrients
Remember that food and medications may not mix
In addition to being careful about taking their daily medications, seniors must also remember that medications often interact with certain foods, warns the American Institute for Cancer Research. Examples include:
- Grapefruit juice, which is known to affect how medications act
- Certain antidepressants, which means forgoing foods high in tyramine—such as salami, herring, liver and alcohol—to avoid a blood pressure spike
- Gout medication, which requires drinking more water and avoiding alcohol

The parents of six children who died when a fire ripped through their home wept in court today as they pleaded not guilty to six counts of murder.
Mick Philpott, 55, and his wife Mairead, 31, appeared at Nottingham Crown Court charged with murdering Jade Philpott, 10, and her brothers John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six, Jayden, five, and 13-year-old Duwayne.
The children died after the blaze engulfed their semi-detached house in Victory Road, Allenton, Derby, on May 11.
Philpott, wearing a St Christopher, broke down in tears and held his head in his hands as he entered his plea to each of the six charges.
His wife, wearing a cross on a long chain around her neck, was more composed as she also pleaded not guilty, but became tearful during the hour-long hearing.
A second man, who was charged with the six murders on Monday by Derbyshire Police, also appeared in the dock.
Grey-haired Paul Mosley, 45, of Cecil Street, Derby, did not speak during the hearing and stared straight ahead.
The three were flanked by 11 prison officers in the dock, with a line of five sitting behind the couple, separating them from Mosley.
The Honourable Mrs Justice Kate Thirlwall remanded the three into custody. They will appear next at Birmingham Crown Court at 2pm on November 29.

Snapshot: The Chicco Polly 2 in 1 highchair has a cleverly designed tray and an adjustable footrest. Is it safe and easy to use?
Unlock all of Consumer from just $12 a month
Our safety tests are based on the Australian Standard for high chairs, AS 4684:2009. This standard also calls for compliance with at least 1 of the international standards, so we refer to the European Standard EN 14988.
In New Zealand, these standards are voluntary, but we recommend choosing a high chair that complies with these standards.
Strength of construction.
Whether there is a risk of finger pinching or entrapment for the child or an adult folding and unfolding the chair.
Whether there are sharp edges, points or burrs.
Gaps and/or holes that could trap a finger, or any small parts that could be a choking hazard.
Whether the chair comes with a five-point harness, back and side protection as well as locking mechanisms to stop the child falling out.
We also look at how easy the chair is to clean. We apply Weetbix and milk, spaghetti and tomato sauce and baby food to different areas of the chair (the tray, seat back and padding, as well as the harness). We then let it dry overnight and rate ease of cleaning for each of these areas on a scale from "very easy" (residue is easily removed using a kitchen cloth) to "very hard" (needs thorough scrubbing or washing). This is then converted to a score.
The overall score consists of 70% performance and 30% ease of cleaning.
We also note how easy it is to assemble and operate the high chair. Highchairs tested since 2016 have an "ease of use" score but it doesn't contribute to the overall score.

Over fifty years ago, the new planned community of Don Mills was built on the outskirts of Toronto. This visionary community attracted many people who were interested in integrating work life, home life, and community life together in a tranquil and woodsy-natural setting. Many of those first inhabitants were mostly white liberal Protestants who came together to form the United Church which is now The Donway Covenant. The original character of this congregation was very community minded and still is. We're a group of people with tender hearts, open minds, and a desire to serve Jesus' vision of hope, love and justice for all in God's Creation. Most of us are still members of the original group which founded our church, but over the years, Don Mills has gradually welcomed in people from all over the world, and so has our church. At one Pentecost celebration five years ago, we discovered that there were over 30 different languages spoken by members of our congregation.

At least 19 Queensland schools have been targeted by a child pornography ring that continues to publish images of underage girls online.
Calamvale Community College is the latest school to be named on the website, with members requesting images from specific schools or detailing facilities or regions that they have access to.
Thousands of images of young girls have been posted online by fellow students and young men since the site was set up last year.
Even more worrying is the a number of female students have been named - with some men going as far as requesting photos of specific students or photos from certain high schools on 'wanted' lists.
It seems that images of some of the youngest students have been removed since gaining media attention.
Eighteen Queensland schools have been targeted by a pornography ring that has published thousands of images from schools across the country.
The ring, consisting of teen boys and young men, was set up in December last year.
Since then they have swapped "graphic sexual images" of unsuspecting female students and other women.
Adding to the disturbing news, members are nominating girls for the hunt on "wanted' lists.
According to News.com.au, the site allows them to nominate the full name, high school and region of girls they hope to get nude photos of.
Once their prey is added to the list, members help by sourcing and posting private information and encouraging each other to get the explicit images.
Some of the images uploaded include photos of nude teens, school girls performing sexual acts and close-ups of their genitalia and breasts.
While the site has been reported for child pornography, police are unable to do anything as it is hosted overseas.
It has been reported that victims pleading for their images to be removed have been mostly ignored.
However in some cases, the site's bros have retaliated by calling on each other to upload even more photos.
While the ring uses codes to make it harder for outsiders to identify victims and schools.
It's estimated at least 70 Aussie schools have been identified on the site.
Queensland Schools Targeted:
Allhallows' School
Caloundra State High School
Cavendish Road State High School
Clontarf Beach State High School
Grace Lutheran College

Kirwan State High School
Matthew Flinders Anglican College

Passengers are facing delays until 9pm tonight after a signalling problem caused Bank Holiday travel chaos at Sheffield station.
All lines at the station were blocked shortly after 5pm due to the issue with trains severely delayed or cancelled.
Some trains were delayed more than 90 minutes while others on major routes were cancelled, leaving Bank Holiday travellers and commuters stranded.
Lines were reopened at around 6.45pm but the knock-on effect means delays will continue until at least 9pm.

Just wondering if they used the space over the garage for a bonus room. I am comparing the two plans (single vs. double garage) and trying to see exactly how to get to the space over the garage and which rooms are altered.
Customer service 14 March 2013
Good day and thank you for your interest in this plan.
Access to the bonus space above the garage is through a pull-down staircase.
The location is in the small rectangle with a cross in it that you can see to the front-left of the stairs in the garage.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or comments.
Christine 27 February 2013
Do you have any more pictures of the house featured in the photo gallery of this plan?

Since we do no actual building, the only photos that we have of our models are those which our clients have so generously shared with us.
Unfortunately, the only pictures that we have are those which are posted on this page so I am unable to link you to any others.

#1 Baseball Suffers First Defeat; Falls To Oregon 6-5 in 12 Innings
April 3, 2010
EUGENE, Ore. - Arizona State's 24-game winning streak came to an end on Friday night in Eugene as the Sun Devils fell 6-5 to Oregon at PK Park in 12 innings. The defeat makes ASU 24-1 on the year, 4-1 in Pac-10 play. The game featured an hour and five minutes of rain and lightning delays, as various forms of precipitation fell throughout the game.
Oregon pushed a run across in the bottom of the 12th inning against Brady Rodgers to send the Ducks to the walk-off victory. J.J. Altobelli bunted to third base for a single, but Riccio Torrez's throw was wild, allowing Altobelli to advance to second. Marcus Piazzisi would end the game with two outs on an RBI single to center.
Rodgers took the loss, dropping him to 1-1 on the year. He was one of five Sun Devil pitchers to throw on the night. Merrill Kelly got the start, going 4.2 innings and getting a no decision. Mitchell Lambson, Jake Barrett and Jordan Swagerty followed before Rodgers threw the 12th.
Kole Calhoun put the Sun Devils on the board in the top of the first, sending a solo blast over the right field wall for a 1-0 ASU lead. It was Calhoun's third homer of the year.
The ASU defense would let them down in the second inning, as two Sun Devil errors led to four unearned Duck runs to give Oregon a 4-1 lead after two. Arizona State would get a run back in both the third and fourth innings to cut the lead to 4-3. Drew Maggi brought home Austin Barnes on an infield single in the third to make it 4-2, then Deven Marrero singled home Johnny Ruettiger in the fourth to make it 4-3. The Devils had a chance to tie it in the fourth, but Barnes was thrown out at home on a Maggi single to end the inning.
Arizona State would finally break through against the Oregon bullpen in the top of the ninth, plating two runs off Duck closer Drew Gagnier to go up 5-4. After a one-out walk to Maggi and a base hit by Zack MacPhee put runners on the corners, Kole Calhoun took a called strike three for the second out. But Oregon catcher Eddie Rodriguez couldn't hold onto the ball, allowing Maggi to come home with the tying run on the passed ball. Rodriguez picked up the ball and tried to throw out MacPhee, but his throw went into left field, allowing MacPhee to score the go ahead run.
Oregon would not go away, as they scored a run off Jordan Swagerty in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings. Swagerty would throw three innings, allowing the one run on three hits with four strike outs.
Arizona State had plenty of opportunities to pull ahead, but the Sun Devils stranded 10 runners on the night, including six in scoring position. Drew Maggi was 3-5 with an RBI to lead the Sun Devil offense. Zack MacPhee collected two hits in the loss.
Arizona State committed three errors, as five of the six Oregon runs that scored were unearned.
The Sun Devils and Ducks will wrap up their three-game series Saturday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. from PK Park.

Some of you might recall that I began this post a month or so ago, as the first in a two part riveting tale of a mother, the flu and her toddler.
I never did get around to wrapping that story up, in part because of a minor emotional glitch, which I've detailed in my previous post, Disappearing Act, and also because the misery I had begun to document in Three Really Bad Days Part I, spiraled further downward into a whole miserable week. Even as I typed. So if you'll kindly indulge me, I'll now conclude…
To quickly backtrack, I'd opted to stay alone in NYC with my toddler, Luka for one week. I had grand plans. My husband Alex headed back to Maine and would return in six or seven days to collect us and bring us home. I was full of the optimism and boundless energy that only New York, New York can produce in a body! Within moments of his departure I fell ill with the flu.
I'm not sure how to put into words how sorry I felt for myself. Perhaps I can best illustrate my torment with bullet points.
- Have you ever wished, like really, really wished and hoped that a meteorite would smash through the ceiling and land directly on your brain?
- I did.
- On day one, Luka stuck a thermometer into a light socket. The fire alarm went off. Three times. Luka spilled a box of elbow macaroni all over the floor.
- During my entire convalescence, he was struck with an inability to find a suitable path onto or off of my bed that didn't blaze straight across my face.
- Days two and three I hired an emergency sitter from an agency.
- She was sweet and helpful. I liked her.
- Not sure what she was thinking about the sweating carcass on the sofa.
- Luka thoughtfully woke up at 4:30 every morning.
- That sucked a particularly whole lot.
- Day four I began to feel better.
- Day five I emerged from my sickbed, like the Phoenix rising from the ashes.
Then I strapped Luka onto the chair of death and was in the ER by noon.
I use one of those toddler seats that can be strapped onto to any chair. And it's been great- easy to travel with. In our NY apartment, we eat at the kitchen counter, in high counter stools. I'd many times buckled Luka's seat and tray on to them. On this morning however, I thought it would be so cute to remove the tray from the seat and push him straight up to the counter, like a big boy.
Clearly I'd forgotten about how he has arms and legs and how they can push against things like countertops. I sprinkled his lunch down in front of him and turned around. There was a thump. My stomach sunk. I spun around and my ' big boy' was gone.
Cue bullet points..
- He couldn't even twist his little body to even try to break the fall.
- Oh, how I hated myself.
- He Wailed and Wailed for a very long time.
- So I flung us into a cab and to the ER.
- He Wailed and Wailed in the waiting room.
- I went all Shirley Maclaine in Terms of Endearment on the nursing staff. "Will somebody please take a look at my child!!!!" I totally yelled it too.
- I got my ass reamed out.
- They don't take crap in NYC emergency rooms.
- Apparently I was causing Luka to Wail, not his life threatening head injury. He could sense my fear.
- A nurse forced me to sip a box of apple juice.
- I'm not kidding.
- Seems they were right. I calmed down, he calmed down. Eventually.
- He was fine.
- The ER doc who examined him had a mohawk. He definitely fronts a punk band on his days off.
- That was my fantasy anyway.
- He was cute.
I'd come to Manhattan for a week of fun with my little guy and all I got was a dreadful flu and an anxiety attack. What else was on the menu? A massive hurricane? Well, of course.
In case you're wondering why I didn't leave beforehand, besides the issue of my backside being stuck to my bed for several days, the very day I'd planned to fly out, a certain trip to an emergency room happened…
Hurricane Sandy anecdote:
The night before the storm, the weather forecasts were becoming more dire, the forecasters actually seemed nervous and I decided to head back out to the market for a couple more bottles of water. It was early evening and the sky was just beginning to darken. I pushed Luka toward the corner and then stopped, like everyone around me, and tilted my head to the sky. A disembodied voice was booming, " Attention. You are in Evacuation Zone A . By order of the Mayor you must evacuate this area. You are in Evacuation Zone A…." I felt like I was in a Jerry Bruckheimer movie and we were all staring up, in shocked silence, at the mothership, as the alien attack began.
Turns out our building was approximately twenty-five feet from Evacuation Zone A. So I was safe?
Hurricanes do not mess around. On the twenty- fifth floor, the wind slammed and shuddered us for hours. The building swayed, the lights flickered and little Mr. Luka slept like a log in his crib that I'd pushed into the closet. I huddled on a blow-up mattress that I'd positioned in the living room- still not sure what I thought that was going to accomplish- and followed terrifying twitter tweets like, "building just collapsed in Chelsea??!"
We made it through just fine and my heart goes out to all of those who have suffered so terribly in the wake of Sandy.
So in summary, in one week I got a four day flu, recovered and went straight to the ER which in turn caused us to miss our chance at flying home and left us stranded in the path of a hurricane that caused historic devastation.

HANG TIME, Texas — The Lakers open a critical three-game road trip in Toronto and Dwight Howard plays 17 minutes.
That's one for every year of his maturity.
If it wasn't finally evident with last season's antics in Orlando that the 7-footer is more senior prom than senior lead of a real contender, then he offered up the latest proof.
Howard made one field goal, scored five points and grabbed two rebounds before he was ejected with 1:18 left in the second quarter when he and the Raptors' Alan Anderson were hit with a double technical.
Dwight the Innocent walked away with his palms outstretched, wondering what in the world he had done to deserve this, much like the teenager caught smoking in the boys' bathroom.
"They didn't explain," Howard said when asked why he picked up the second technical foul. "I didn't do anything to get ejected."
Howard's teammates were quick to come to his defense.
"What's a player supposed to do when a guy, he's confronted, trying to walk back up the court?" Kobe Bryant said to ESPNLA.com's Dave McMenamin. "An official told me, 'Well, he should just walk away.' I said, 'Which direction should he (walk)?' Should he turn around and just walk to the bench? He's walking down to the other end of the court, to get back on defense. There's nothing he can do. A guy steps up to him, puts a forearm in his chest, what's he supposed to do? You say one thing, now it's a double technical. Now, I just don't agree with that."
What is harder and harder for a lot of us to agree with is the notion that at 27 Howard is ever going to change his stripes from being talented big man and a good-time frontrunner. When all is going well, he leads the cheers and cracks the jokes. When there is the slightest hint of difficulty, he simply cracks.
We won't get into a frame-by-frame analysis of the video replays that just might show Howard delivering a hefty shove in the back to Anderson as they come off the lane following a Metta World Peace elbow. That second technical could be debatable and perhaps the Lakers will even get it wiped off Howard's record with an appeal to the league.
But Howard earned himself the first technical first quarter when he went too far whining to referee Ken Mauer following a missed layup.
If the Lakers aren't already deader than disco, then they embarked on this three-game mini-trip as their latest self-proclaimed springboard back from zombie land. Each loss is not just another on the wrong side of the ledger, but knocks another day off a shrinking calendar. Now the Lakers must win at Chicago on the end of a back-to-back Monday or squeeze out a victory in the Memphis Grind House just to avoid another losing road trip.
The Lakers need Howard on the court and he needs to do whatever it takes to stay out there — keeping his composure, knowing when to back off from complaining and not putting himself into a position where a questionable double-technical might send him to the showers.
But that would require Howard to accept the burden that comes from being a franchise foundation and accept reality, hardly his strengths.
Earlier in the week Howard proclaimed, "When we play the way we played the last two games, I don't see anybody beating us."
That was following back-to-back home wins over the Cavs and Bucks. Sheesh.
The voting may show that Howard is once again a starter in the NBA All-Star Game next month, but that says more about the cache and star appeal of the Lakers than his own play. He has numbers, yes. But he also has a free throw percentage that would embarrass blindfolded shooters and has rarely looked dominant.
Blame it on coach Mike D'Antoni's offense. Blame it on the referees. Blame it on global climate change.
Just don't dare blame it on Howard. He can't take the increasing heat.

text: You can take care of this by adding ide0=ata66 ide1=ata66 to the Lilo append line. It forces the udma mode 5 bit and seems to work fine (you get full mode 5 so you don't need to use ide=ata100 although that may work to ??). I've been doing this for several months now on Tyan boards and haven't had any problems ... I found this by reading the kernel ide source code ... use the source Luke ... I think there are some other ways to take care of it too, like a kernel patch or tweaking things in a custom kernel build ... -Don I've tried the AUSU dual athlon and yes there do seem to be some problems. The first is that 2 out of 3 were DOA ... I've just received 2 more so hope if was just a fluke ... The guys over at 2cpu have some info about the board if you want to pop over there and search around a bit http://www.2cpu.com >I have 6 Tyan Thunder K7 motherboards (Dual 1.2 GHz Athlon MP) in my >cluster.

*** Lesson Details ***
I teach both from a privately rented studio in Santee and from my home studio in La Mesa. Both are fully equipped for guitar, bass and drum lessons and even have recording facilities! In my lesson plans I try to combine theory and technique with practical application (that is, playing music and rocking out!).
My lessons are structured and goal orientated (I want my students playing songs they love as soon as possible to keep the inspiration and excitement going!) but I adapt each lesson plan to suit the student, accommodating different musical tastes and learning styles. Most important I keep the lessons fun and engaging - it's the best way to learn!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Fulling equipped, professional teaching studio.
Guitars, drums, amps, PAs, Pianos, Mandolins and much more!
*** Specialties ***
Very versatile both in preferred styles and my ability to adapt to students requests. Can cover anything from jazz to metal, or pop to blues, on guitar, bass or drums.

Conquer the music of the masters! We'll be covering baroque era, such as Bach, as well as lute tuning all the way to romantic era greats such as Chopin. And of course we can't forget about the beautiful Spanish composers such as Albeniz either!
Beginner students learn to read music as well as guitar tablature (which is much simpler) proper technique with a focus on avoiding player's injuries. We'll also cover some basic and essential theory in order to understand our music and instrument better :)
Intermediate continue on to learn the more challenging techniques such as the tremolo, vibrato, cross string trills and Flamenco techniques. Advanced theory and arrangement techniques are also covered.
Advanced students have made their own arrangements of piano classics such as Beethoven's moonlight sonata and Bach's two part inventions. These students have also written their own classical and flamenco compositions as well having mastered very challenging compositions.
About Chris
I was born into a musical family and have studied classical piano since I was 4 years old! I am very well versed in music theory and proper technique, with an emphasis on avoiding player's injuries, as well as a great knowledge of classical Pieces for any skill level.
As a young teenager I grew rebellious and learned how to play the electric guitar and have since sought teachers outside my family to learn modern styles and 5 other instruments!! I have also worked toward a music degree and have made music the center of my life.
Classical music is not everyone's passion but a good practice routine, attitude and environment is always a good thing to ha
*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons are held with a fun and relaxed attitude. Learning music should always be enjoyable and a good attitude and love for music is cultured and encouraged.
Lessons are structured just like a practice session should be. We will begin with a warm-up exercise designed to acquaint you with the proper technique to meet your personal musical goals. the next activities are highly personalized, but is usually something like reading music or a music theory game. These activities are things that are good for you but may not be your favorite part of learning music. They will, however, go a long way toward your better understanding of how your favorite music is structured.
Examples could be learning about 12 bar blues, common strum patterns (for guitar), scales, sight-reading, or music analysis.
We will spend the rest of class learning and practicing an activity of your choice. This is usually a song but can be anything you wish to improve upon. this is usually a long-term goal of yours. *I've always wanted to learn......*
By structuring our lessons the same as how you will practice, and by keeping good notes, it will be easy for you to take on practice at home and achieve all of your musical goals!
*** Travel Equipment ***
Students should have their own guitar/piano/keyboard etc. Guitar/violin students should also have a music stand and tuner to keep at home. I will bring picks, spare tuner, music, and handouts.
*** Specialties ***
I primarily specialize in classical piano in styles such as Muzio Clementi and Frederic Chopin. I also play Bach and various Spanish classical guitar pieces. I have also extensively studied electric guitar in Blues such ZZ Top, Metal such as Metallica, and rock such as Led Zeppelin. I have also studied Irish and Celtic folk music for instruments such as Mandolin and Violin.

*** Lesson Details ***
Each lesson is custom made to directly benefit each student. The music the student enjoys listening to, is explored to identify what skills are needed to play that music on their instrument. Exercises are then tailored to give students the finger strength and dexterity to directly attain those needed skills.
Favorite songs are also examined to understand the musical theory concepts that were used to create those songs. Once those concepts are understood there is no stopping the student from creating their own music.
Parents and guardians are more than welcome to be part of the process. Involving parents in their children's education is my pleasure. My studio has a comfortable waiting area where you can wait until the lesson is done. Questions are always appreciated.

About Bijan Z.Close
I play many instruments, but Guitar is my first instrument. I'll go through a method book together with you, in which you can learn the basics, including note reading, playing some simple chords...After some months this basic course will open a door for you to enter the world of Guitar playing and you'll be able to play many songs. Many of my students are interested to sing to Guitar and I help them to sing to Guitar too because I am a voice instructor too. Guitar is an easy and fun instrument to play.
About Bijan
I believe that music is rooted in all human beings and cultures in a reach and vast variety of forms. Music unifies and engages thinking and feeling in a direct and immediate way. Music influences individuals simultaneously on different levels of consciousness and form an important device for learning, recreation, arranging of conscious and unconscious impressions and at the same time for characterizing and conveying ideas and thoughts. This as a point of departure characterizes my teaching philosophy, which strives to create a climate in which my students can experience continuous musical, intellectual, and emotional growth.
As a music instructor and musicologist I demonstrate the characteristics of professional and passionate for everything related to my teaching. I am passionate; for I know the more I teach the more I learn
I have three educations:
1) PhD in Musicology,
2) Master in Music Education and
3) Bachelor in Electrical Engineering.

About Cristopher E.Close
I can teach traditional classical guitar finger picking techniques using a nylon string guitar. I can also teach fingerpicking on steel string acoustic guitar, as well as performing and arranging classical pieces on the electric guitar. I also love to make my own arrangements of classical pieces from other instruments. My personal favorites to perform are J. S. Bach and Heitor Villa-Lobos.
About Cristopher
I began taking piano lessons when I was six years old, but switched to guitar lessons at age ten. Ever since then, my passion has been playing guitar and songwriting. I am a music composition honors major at UCSD.
Whether you want to learn to be a guitar virtuoso or you just want to be able to play some songs for your friends and family, I want to provide you with the best information and tools to help you accomplish your goals. I believe in trying to get the most out of the minimum - I want you to get the most benefit out of the time you spend, regardless if you are practicing for thirty minutes or for eight hours.
My background focuses mostly on classical, rock/metal, and jazz, and my specialty is the electric guitar. I can also help you learn classical guitar on a nylon string guitar if you prefer, including
*** Lesson Details ***
I want the student to have fun with music, and rather than focusing on scales and tedious exercises, I have my students learn technique and music theory more from the actual music (Not to say that learning and practicing scales isn't important, but it is much more useful in the long run to have actual musical melodies and riffs that you can play, and that you know how to take them and use in different musical situations).
I try and be as flexible with the student as possible, as I know we all have different goals and amounts of time that we can dedicate, but I believe that even if someone just wants to learn some basic guitar playing, that a little understanding music theory will help them go a lot further.
Regardless, the student should be able to learn the music they want to play, and I will go out of my way to try and find/learn the music you want. I will even transcribe or write my own arrangement if I can't find a suitable one, or to make a simpler version that the student can learn. I believe the student should be able to access and interact with the type of music they want to learn early on, as this will help keep the student interested while at the same time teaching him/her the elements of music and guitar.
As I want the students to be able to interact with the music as early as possible, I will always try and find ways that we can play together, and I will even make recordings so they can practice playing with someone even when they are at home. I also will periodically record the student so that they can not only get the experience playing and recording, but so that they can also look back on their progress, as well as having something they can show their friends/family.
While I mostly play classical, rock/metal, and jazz, I can help students with a large variety of styles, including blues, r & b, and pop music. I also believe that learning different styles and how to take the elements from each that you like and make them your own will lead to a greater mastery of the instrument, regardless of which style you prefer to actually play.
I recommend that my students practice at least thirty minutes a day if they want to see consistent progress, although in the beginning they may not be able to practice that much until they develop calluses on the fingertips. Of course, if they can practice more, that would be great, but I understand that with everything else going on, it isn't always possible to practice every day or for everyone to put the same time into it.

About Francesca V.Close
Having studied guitar in Spain with masters of the craft, Francesca has a personal passion for classical and Spanish guitar. The first instrument Francesca seriously studied was the classical guitar, starting at age 5. It is her first language.
About Francesca
Francesca started teaching music at the early age of 16 with great success. She has honed her skills both in the private studio and in the classroom. Having served as musical faculty the California Music Academy, Cornelia Connelly High School, Pasadena Saturday Music Conservatory, and East Los Angeles College, having led choirs of 70+ high school girls and sung before sold out audiences of thousands of screaming fans, having toured 4 continents singing both classical repertoire and performing in commercial rock bands, having sung for president
Now performing in the Donald Brinager Singers, a studio choir for-hire, Francesca can often be seen performing with orchestras throughout Southern California. While mentoring through her award-winning teaching studio, Francesca also manages to perform several showcases featuring her original music with her amazing back-up ensemble.
With a constant effort to maintain a professional studio learning environment and with a focus on reading skills and solid technique, Francesca's students enjoy lessons packed with information and light-heartedness. The one on one experience you will have the moment you walk thru the door promises to be unmatched. Francesca's students can be seen on major television networks, radio stations and performing around town in various projects. With a passion to give back, Francesca reserves a small number of spots in her schedule for the youngsters and seniors of her community. She teaches beginning through advanced guitar, piano, and voice.

A Note From Francesca:
My official bio is listed below, but perhaps more important than the things I have done are the things that I am doing. I am now approaching my 15th year of teaching. I love to teach! I carry a minimum of 30 students, but have carried more then 80 at one time, and have never once complained. My waiting list cycles based on my performance schedule and recording schedule. If you don't see a time that works for you, feel free to reach out and see if we can find something that works, as an artist, my schedule can be quite full but also quite flexible. I love my students, I get to do what I love all day and I am sure it shows. I have a blast discovering new ways to experience music with "my kids." I call all of my students kids even though most of my studio consists of young adults. I try to have a young air in my classes at all times as it just makes the process so much more fun for everyone.
I've seen it all in through years: kids, adults, beginners and advanced students. I am personally very interested in being the most versatile musician possible and I love being able to share my knowledge with my students. We can study anything and everything from Classical Guitar to Electric Guitar Shredding; from Opera to Kelly Clarkson; from Tchaikovsky to Little Richard! I love getting students to dabble in little bits of all genres, often getting even the most skeptical student singing and playing comfortably in a matter of just a few weeks. My students will be able to read music for their favorite tunes and understand how to improvise from the start. Once you come in, you'll be hooked. You will have fun because I am having fun!
I encourage all of my students to share their favorite music with me. It affords me the opportunity to learn more about what they desire to learn and what types of music they enjoy. We will learn with your music often. After all, isn't that why you are coming to see me? I will introduce you to new sounds and styles, but will foster your love for music, and do my best to never force my music on students. I feel I learn as much from my students when I truly listen to them and their music as they do from me.
On site lessons are available for artists recording demos, rehearsing bands and setting up their own studios.
On a side note, I love seeing students at my shows! I am a full time musician and can be seen playing with my band, in my own solo project and in various choral settings. Check out my website and see what I do outside of the classroom. My students get a kick out of the idea that they can buy a CD with their teachers face on it, and to be honest, so do I. Many of my students have their own music out on iTunes and YouTube. Many more can be seen performing around town in solo projects and professional ensembles.

Francesca on Artist Development:
I feel obligated to share my joys and experiences-
Not many people have been blessed to sing alongside as many renowned musicians as I have - I've been lucky to be welcomed in both the commercial and classical worlds and they have both afforded me venues to use my voice and express the most vital corners of my soul. To find your purpose through art is one of the greatest gifts you can receive. And to be able to do that in front of thousands of music lovers live or over the airwaves is a surreal experience.
It's funny, my classical cronies are impressed to hear my stories of packed rock gigs at the House Blues and national touring festivals like Warped Tour and my rock buddies ask to hear my stories of Disney Hall performances with the LA Phil. To be honest, Iâ'm impressed to be there too. Sometimes, I look around and think, how did I get here? How did I get lucky enough to live the dream, to find a home in music?
I've been luckier than most. I've had GREAT mentors who have always pushed me forward and shared their wisdom freely with me. Part of the classical musician's central goal is to educate. That's a value I carry into my rock projects and production studio. Work smarter, not harder. Take the needed skills, create art, teach others how to do the same thing, move forward together to live happier, more productive lives filled with purpose.
I have come to be known as one of the top Musical Mentors & Artist Development Experts on the west coast. A behind the scenes- diva of dream building with the skills to push artists to the next level- the ace up the sleeve of many of today working talents. In my award winning studio, I spend time coaching the young voices and faces of today hottest TV shows seen on ABC, Nickelodeon, and the Disney Channel, but I still have a soft spot for up and comers in the indie music world. Having written and performed my own music for decades, I not only lived the collegiate experience of the elite classical performer singing for presidents and world leaders, but also the dingy road of the rock musician who's showed one night to a packed stadium full of fans and showed up another, thousands of miles from home to play to a coffee shop of 5 people. Music has brought me to nearly every continent and introduced me to some of the most talented and diverse people you can imagine. I feel compelled to share these experiences with those around me so that they my develop the vision, the salt and the skills to persevere.
I am, above all, an artist & creator- living the dream, helping people- like you find their voice and write their songs. Turning raw emotion into art.
Each one of us has a story, our truth. Being an artist is about finding ourselves, our song and expressing it publicly so that we may heal, so that we may grow.
It doesn't take a ton of experience to write a hit song. It doesn't take a fancy education or a family line of talent (though it can help). We can all find our voice, our place in the spotlight, what it takes is the courage to take the next step forward.
You've already had the genius to be in the right place at the right time. Here. If you've made it this far, chances are you are smart enough, hungry enough and ready to take the plunge.
Inside my studio you will find the help you seek. I can impart you with proven techniques to strengthen your sound, develop your tone through strong technique, develop strategies to share your art and develop a plan to turn pipe dreams into reality. Some desire to sing on the worlds brightest stages, others strive to lead others through teaching themselves, and some wish for nothing more than to experience music in a confident manner among friends. All can be lead on this personal journey of the artistic soul and all can make their offering to the musical gods. There is a place at the table for anyone seeking an answer.

About Trevor
music began when my mother took me to a performance of Beethoven's
fifth symphony when, coincidentally, I was five. From that point, I
started fervently listening to my mother's records (those are the
huge, black monstrosities that people in the pre-historic used in
place of iPods), followed closely by my father's CD collection.
After a while, this ravenous desire of to know and feel music moved
me to play an instrument. After a couple of false starts with the
drums and violin, I found my true musical calling: the guitar.
On January 25th 1995, on a whim, I began playing the
guitar, and I have yet to put it down. Along the way I've picked up
a number of friends for my guitar, including the bass, the lute, the
sitar and, once again, the drums. After on
practice, I started playing professionally, in bands and solo guitar.
Live playing experience, I believe, is the most important experience
that any musician can have, in that, the most important part of music
is how it sounds, and playing in front of people is the quickest way
to learn how to play effectively. And this is what I teach; how to
be a musician, not just a technician.
*** Lesson Details ***
A student can expect a curriculum tailor-made to their needs and personality. Every person learns differently and this is an important distinction in my teaching style. Some students need a strong hand to keep them working, others need to find many different ways to the same conclusion to keep them focused, while still others need a laid-back friend in order to accept knowledge.
I stress rhythmic literacy, for, as my jazz teacher always said, "rhythm is king." If composition is important to you, then we'll focus on music theory, but if you're just wanting to learn how to play some fun rock tunes with your friends on the weekends, we can do that as well. As I stated before, we'll get you playing in front of people in no time.
