The best12 Years A Slave: The most accomplished, astonishing piece of work I've seen in years. Director Steve McQueen (Shame) delivers the true story of Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free man kidnapped and sold into slavery. The story is excruciating to watch, with the horrors of what used to be known as the "peculiar institution" laid bare in ways never before seen. The poetry of the film making and Solomon's undaunted spirit carry viewers through. Look for Oscar nominations all around, from the director and film to Ejiofor and Michael Fassbender, as psychotic slave master Epps. And if there isn't one for Lupita Nyong'o, who plays a young woman enslaved on Epps' plantation, I will be shocked and disappointed. Opens Oct. 17.
Gravity: I'm going to use the word poetic again, because there's no other way to describe the camera work in this wildly exciting film about astronauts (Sandra Bullock and George Clooney) trapped in space after a terrible chain of events. Gravity is the reason 3D filmmaking exists – and you really must shell out for IMAX on this one – with glorious shots of space and the "blue marble" of Earth. The stars are both engaging and fantastic in their spare environment, but the cinematography, Alfonso Cuarón's direction and script really do most of the heavy lifting. One piece of advice when you're watching it: Remember to breathe. Opens Oct. 4.
Dallas Buyers Club: Matthew McConaughey may finally get that Oscar nod for his funny, tragic turn as Ron Woodroof, a Texas electrician and bull rider who discovers in the '80s that he has HIV. Jared Leto is nearly unrecognizable, and flat out amazing, for his role as Rayon, Woodroof's flamboyant friend and eventual business partner in a plan to help thousands of Texans live longer and healthier with the virus. Look for award nominations here, too. Opens Nov. 1.
The restThe Fifth Estate: Think of this one as a biopic on Wikileaks, rather than on its founder, Julian Assange, played with charisma by Benedict Cumberbatch. The film never has much of a grasp on Assange as a man, and can't escape the tricky quandary of how to tell an interesting story about people staring at computer screens. Daniel Br¨hl is engaging as Assange's early devotee, Daniel Domscheit-Berg. We learn far more about him than we do about Assange, but then the film is partially based on Domscheit-Berg's book on his time in the controversial organization. Opens Oct. 18.
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom: It's a very long walk, indeed, at two and a half hours. That wouldn't be an issue if this reverent biopic had more narrative thrust and a bit more spark. As it is, it's a solid take on the former South African president, played by the sure-footed Idris Elba, with Naomie Harris adding some much needed fire as Mandela's ex-wife, Winnie. Just don't expect any grand revelations or inventiveness in the storytelling. Opens Nov. 29
TIFF continues through Sept. 15, so check back for more of the fest's best!

TAMPA, Fla. — His ribs ached and his garnet jersey was grass-stained from the hit he just sustained while throwing one of the most important passes in South Carolina football history. But Dylan Thompson's ears worked just fine.
So his memory of a moment that will live forever at USC will not be the sight of Bruce Ellington catching the pass near Michigan's five-yard line, cutting back and bounding into end zone. It will be the sound Thompson heard as he lay on the ground — the sudden roar rising from USC's fans, a release from an anxious afternoon, a celebration for a program that has arrived in full force.
Whatever happens in the next 10, 20, 50 years of USC football, the Gamecocks will always have these past three seasons and Tuesday's remarkable Outback Bowl, a 33-28 victory on a blue-sky afternoon, among the most dramatic games in school history.
They will always have Thompson's 32-yard touchdown pass to Ellington with 11 seconds left, and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney's thunderous forced fumble earlier in the fourth quarter — two forever moments from two players who took distinctly different paths to them.
They will always have the sights and sounds and catches and hits that comprised the 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons — the run to the Southeastern Conference championship game, then 11-2 records the next two seasons, more wins than in any that came before.
For Thompson, the journey from a kid who had one other scholarship offer (Division II Newberry) to USC icon took an important turn this month. He knew he might need to replace Connor Shaw in the bowl game, because Shaw's sprained left foot was easily aggravated. So Thompson imagined that every practice snap he took was happening in a game.
"I wanted to feel like it was in a game, because if it happened," he said.
It did happen after Shaw's six-yard pass on the Gamecocks' final drive moved them to Michigan's 43. Shaw limped off. Five plays later, at the 32, Thompson saw man-to-man coverage from Michigan and had no protection other than his five linemen. He liked the matchup for Ellington, but knew a quick release was paramount. He thought about how eighth-year USC coach Steve Spurrier always tells his quarterbacks to "take our steps and throw the ball."
Thompson flicked the pass a second before he got hit. Ellington looked up and thought "it was coming pretty slow," he said. As the ball fell toward Ellington, he noticed a safety out of the corner of his eye. So the first thing he did after the ball landed in his hands was cut back.
The roars came quickly and they won't soon stop for Thompson, who had played sparingly earlier in the game and, in November, led USC to a win at Clemson. Shaw has been the starter since the middle of last season, but with him and Thompson returning next season, might Shaw now face a challenger to his job?
"We both looked at each other (after the game) and said we can't wait until next year," Thompson said. "Whatever that entails, we'll see."
Nobody in college football will hear more anticipation surrounding his 2013 season than Clowney. And nobody will be able to mention him between now and August without raving about his hit on Michigan running back Vincent Smith with 8:15 remaining Tuesday.
Like Clowney, Michigan left tackle Taylor Lewan was a coveted recruit who seems destined for a successful NFL career. Lewan kept Clowney at bay Tuesday, but Clowney relished the matchup. When Lewan briefly left with cramps in the third quarter, Clowney told him, "Come on back here fast." Clowney said Lewan responded: "I'll be back, big boy."
Before Clowney's hit, USC defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward anticipated a pass and called a "Cali" blitz, with cornerback Victor Hampton blitzing. Instead, Michigan opted for a run, and Lewan made a pre-snap tweak of Michigan's protection, on first and 10 from its own 41.
The original zone blocking plan called for Lewan to tag-team block with tight end Mike Kwiatkowski. The new one called for Lewan and a guard to work together. But Kwiatkowski didn't hear the adjustment. When Clowney rushed to Kwiatkowski's right, Kwiatkowski thought he would have blocking help. He didn't.
Before the game, "I saw it was going to be open all day on film when I was watching," Clowney said. "They kept on doing that little zone blocking. I said, 'I'm going to go inside and I'm going to kill them one time.'"
Clowney, untouched, plowed his shoulder into Smith's chest. Smith's helmet popped off. He dropped the ball. Clowney scooped it up while mashing Smith's head into the grass. Clowney laughed. Ward marveled at the collision, which he compared to a car wreck and called "the hardest hit I've seen in my coaching career." Lewan pondered the consequences.
"That miscommunication, those are the plays that can lose games," Lewan said.
USC got a 31-yard touchdown pass on the next play to go up 27-22. Though Michigan answered with a touchdown pass on the next possession, with 3:29 left, the Gamecocks had the final response — a 70-yard TD drive, iced by a throw from a quarterback who, unlike Clowney, had little name recognition when he arrived at USC.
They all know about Thompson now, and what he did — and heard — to end one of the Gamecocks' rarest games, and most treasured seasons.
"We haven't won like that since I've been here," Spurrier said.

Details were fuzzy at the time, but the extra investment and jobs Boeing Co. promised this spring for South Carolina are starting to come into sharp focus.
Bottom line
Boeing reported a better-than-expected third-quarter profit and raised its full-year outlook Wednesday. Its shares hit an all-time high.
Third-quarter net income rose 12% to $1.16 billion, or $1.51 per share, from a year earlier. Not counting fluctuations in pension expenses, Boeing would have earned $1.80 per share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had been expecting $1.55.
Revenue rose 11% to $22.13 billion, topping expectations.
Boeing raised its profit guidance for the full year to $6.50- $6.65 per share. Analysts had been expecting $6.52.
Profits from commercial planes rose 40%, offsetting a 19% profit drop from the defense division.
Shares closed up $6.54, or 5.3%, to $129.02. Earlier in the day they hit a new high of $129.99.
Associated Press
The aerospace giant is ramping up production of its 787 Dreamliner by 20 percent within three years and then to 40 percent by 2020 as two longer versions of the lightweight passenger jet join the lineup, it was announced Wednesday.
Boeing checklist
What Boeing has been up to in 2013:
It expanded the North Charleston factory where it makes 787 aft fuselages.
It picked a site in Palmetto Commerce Park for a factory that will design and make 737 MAX engine inlet parts, its first major investment in the region not tied to the 787.
It's in the process of buying 267 acres near its campus at Charleston International for $13.5 million for an undefined "phase two" expansion. Boeing has backed away from a proposal to acquire another 482 acres of airport-owned land, but it's expected to revisit that deal later.
It began work on a Dreamlifter Operations Center for the modified 747s that deliver 787 parts from suppliers to the two final assembly plants.
It announced plans to concentrate half of its information technology work in three locations, one being North Charleston, over the next few years.
The company assembles the plane in North Charleston and Everett, Wash. The big jump in production will put extra demands on both sites, and it likely would require more investment and more workers.
Coming up
Coming Sunday
One Boeing analyst sees big things ahead for the North Charleston operation. Find out why Sunday in John McDermott's On Business column.
Boeing's previously stated goal had been to roll out 10 Dreamliners a month by the end of this year. CEO Jim McNerney revised the figure higher on his latest quarterly call with Wall Street analysts Tuesday, ending months of speculation about the long-expected move.
Boeing said it's accelerating its 787 assembly line to turn out 12 Dreamliners a month starting in 2016 and 14 a month "before the end of the decade." It cited "continued strong demand for the 787 family of airplanes."
"Overall commercial aviation remains a very attractive near- and long-term growth market, and our strategies have positioned us for a significant and sustained growth in the years ahead," McNerney said.
Boeing expects to deliver up to 645 commercial planes in 2013, including at least 60 Dreamliners.
The 787 is a long-range, fuel-efficient plane made largely from lightweight composite materials. The aircraft has reshaped the Charleston economy since Boeing decided four years ago to start filling a third of the mounting orders for the jet from a new final assembly factory in South Carolina. With roughly 6,100 local workers, the company is now the largest private-sector employer in the Charleston region.
Despite manufacturing delays and other hiccups, the 787 has always been a hot commodity. Boeing has sold 131 Dreamliners this year, even after high-profile battery problems grounded them for about two months. Deliveries resumed in May.
Boeing is still working to fix the reliability of the glitch-prone plane. Most recently, a large underbelly panel fell from an Air India Dreamliner as it was landing.
McNerney said the 787's "dispatch reliability" — or flight-readiness average — was at 97 percent for the jets that are in service. He stressed that the figure needs to be higher.
"We're not pleased yet," he said.
Boeing is turning up production as it seeks to plow through a backlog of 890 Dreamliner orders. Most of are for the standard 787-8, but the company also is selling an extended model, the 787-9. The company also said Tuesday that it already has taken 90 "firm" orders for the 787-10, the longest version launched this past summer.
Boeing is already gearing up to work at a higher tempo in North Charleston.
Greg Smith, finance chief, said the company is reconfiguring the "entire flow" at its North Charleston factory that makes the aft-fuselage sections of the 787. The purpose is to "get to these higher rates in a much more efficient manner," Smith said Tuesday.
Details about the changes at the local plant were not immediately available.
In April, Boeing agreed to invest another $1.1 billion and create 2,000 more jobs in South Carolina in exchange for $120 million in state bond money that can be used to offset certain costs of a largely undefined "phase two" expansion.
Boeing observer Michel Merluzeau, managing partner at Kirkland, Wash.-based consultant G2 Solutions, said that commitment "absolutely" is linked to the stepped-up 787 production rate.
Boeing also is acquiring more property around its main campus from the Charleston County Aviation Authority. That sale was delayed by the 16-day partial shutdown of the federal government, which has to approve the transaction. Paul Campbell, airports director, said he now expects the deal to close in the next 30 to 35 days.
"That's good for everybody," Campbell said Wednesday. "Then Boeing can start doing land preparation for the next phase."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Kris Jenner has a shopping problem – and it's not sitting well with one of her daughters.
In anticipation of the newest addition to the Kardashian clan, the matriarch of the famous family is compiling quite the wardrobe for Kourtney Kardashian's unborn girl.
"I can't stop shopping," she told PEOPLE Friday at 1 OAK Las Vegas. "Kourtney is now angry with me because I keep bringing stuff home."
Kardashian is due in July. It will be her second child with long time boyfriend Scott Disick. The couple confirmed their baby's gender in February, saying at the time, "We feel so blessed to be having a little girl and to be able to share this new experience with Mason."
"We're so excited and it's such a gift and a blessing and a new personality so for us," Jenner said while celebrating son Robert's 25th birthday in Vegas. "I'm having the best time shopping!"

A perfect weekend in Schaffhausen
The town of Schaffhausen is in the northernmost corner of Switzerland, in the "knee" of the Rhine in Eastern Switzerland on the border with Germany. It owes its origins to the Rheinfall waterfall: the settlement arose where shippers needed somewhere to unload and stack their goods when avoiding the rapids that were impassable for ships.
The traffic-free Old Town of Schaffhausen is considered one of the prettiest in Switzerland, on account of its many oriel windows and lavishly painted facades. Many of the fine guildhouses and merchant's houses date from Gothic and Baroque times. The lively Old Town is very good for shopping. The town began with the street market in what is now the Vordergasse. This is also where you will find the High Gothic St. Johann church with its remarkable acoustics.
The emblem of the town, the Munot fortress, can be seen for miles. The ring-shaped stronghold was built between 1564 and 1589 to a design by Albrecht Dürer. You can see far and wide from the battlements. Every evening at 9 p.m., the Munot guard who lives in the tower rings the Munot bell, which used to be a sign that the town gates and inns should close.
In the area to the north of Schaffhausen, in the hilly region of the Randen, and on the vine-clad slopes of the Klettgau, there are lovely walks and cycle rides and you can enjoy a tasty drop of Pinot Noir. Learn about how the wine is made during a one-hour walk along the Trasadingen Wine Trail or in the Museum of Viticulture in Hallau.
The riverside landscape along the Rhine is a lovely area for cycling, walking and boating. The popular Untersee Lake-Rhine boat trip from Schaffhausen to Kreuzlingen is nearly 50 km long. The section of river between Schaffhausen and the well-preserved little mediaeval town of Stein am Rhein, with its frescos and painted houses, is particularly charming. The Benedictine monastery of St. Georgen now houses the monastery museum. Over the town towers the castle of Hohenklingen.
The emblem of this small city with its 171 oriel windows is the 16th century Munot hilltop fortress. The view from here should not be missed – along with a glass of the local Pinot Noir wine, and of course the celebrated Rhine Falls.

- Old Town – one of the most delightful Old Towns in Switzerland, with wonderful Baroque houses and 170 oriel windows, which were a status symbol on the houses of rich merchants.
- Rheinfall at Schaffhausen – Europe's largest and most powerful waterfall, where the water crashes down 21 metres, across a width of 150 metres. The natural spectacle is at its best in July when water levels are highest.
- Boat trip on the Rhine – from Schaffhausen to Stein am Rhein and on across the Untersee to Konstanz and Kreuzlingen; one of the finest river trips in Europe.
- Former Benedictine abbey of Allerheiligen – the monastery church with its 11th century cloisters is an important Romanesque historic building, with a herb garden and museum about the town's history and industry.
Top Events
- International Bach Festival – Music by J. S. Bach is played to the highest standard throughout Schaffhausen (May every two years).
- Schaffhausen Jazz Festival – most important showcase for Swiss jazz, current work in jazz and improvised music in the "Kammgarn" cultural centre (May).
- Grape Blossom Festival in Schaffhausen – the grape blossom festival is celebrated in several wine-growing districts of the region, with cellar visits and tasting sessions (June).
- Museum night at Hegau-Schaffhausen – many museums in the region are open until late evening (September).
- Trottenfeste in Pinot Noir country – various autumn festivals in the wine-growing areas around Schaffhausen (September).
- Chlaus- und Kunsthandwerkermarkt – Christmas craft market in the historic "Lower Town", decorated for the festive season. Procession with cow bells etc. (December).

The seeds of several varieties of Morning Glory (Ipomoea violacea) contain a naturally occurring tryptamine called Lysergic Acid Amide (LSA), which is closely related to LSD. Seeds are taken orally, and can be eaten whole or the active alkaloids can be extracted.
The most common active varieties of seeds are Heavenly Blue, Pearly Gates, and Flying Saucers. Like LSD, LSA acts as a "psychedelic" or "hallucinogen" which can have strong mental effects.

Tuesday, April 16, 2013
City of Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr. declared May 16 to be Christine Osborne Day in Charelston.
The mayor made the declaration on-stage during the Kids Run & Wonderfest at Hampton Park on Friday, April 5. Riley stated, "Christine does so much for the children in this community," as he honored Osborne, the owner of Wonder Works, with stores in Mount Pleasant, West Ashley, downtown Charleston and on Kiawah Island.
May 16 is Osborne's birthday, and was proclaimed an official day in Charleston to celebrate her many contributions to the toy industry, children's charities and the Charleston community.
Surprised to receive the honor, Osborne said, "I am speechless. I had no idea this was happening. Mayor Riley has been a supporter of all our endeavors to honor children for their incredible contributions to this community and I hope that on May 16th, everyone will celebrate all of the youngsters who have started their own businesses and created non-profits right here in the Lowcountry."
Craig Young from Toysmith, one of Wonder Works' toy vendors based in Washington state, wrote a letter to the mayor months ago requesting a proclamation in her honor, even a street named after her.
Young said, "Christine is so amazing and does so much for our industry and in her community. I wanted to do something special for her that singled her out. She's always shining a light on others. This one's for her."
Wonder Works was a key partner in planning and promoting the 2013 Cooper River Bridge Run & Wonderfest event.
An estimated 7,500 parents and children attended the April 5 event this year, a notable increase from the previous year.
Julian Smith, CRBR Executive Director approached Osborne during her company's 2012 Wonderfest event and asked her if the toy store chain would like to partner with the Kids Run to bring in child entertainers, philanthropists and entrepreneurs.
Osborne agreed and went to work adding national toy company sponsors at the festival and handing out more than 6,000 free toys to children who attended the Hampton Park event on April 5.

Flu Basics
About the flu
Influenza, commonly called the "flu", is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness and, at times, can lead to death. Although most healthy people recover from the flu without complications, some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious complications from the flu.
How do I know if I have it?
Influenza usually starts suddenly and may include the following symptoms, some of which are also signs of the common cold:
- Fever (usually above 101 degrees)
- Headache
- Tiredness (can be extreme)
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Stuffy nose
- Body aches
- Diarrhea and vomiting (more common among children than adults)
However, if you experience these symptoms but do not experience respiratory symptoms, it is unlikely that you have the flu.
What are the risks?
In some people, the flu can cause serious complications, including bacterial pneumonia, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical condition such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes. Children and adults may develop sinus problems and ear infections
How is the flu spread?
The flu usually spreads from person to person in respiratory droplets when people who are infected cough or sneeze. Touching something with influenza virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose, or eyes occasionally may infect people. Healthy adults may be able to infect others 1 day before getting symptoms and up to 5 days after getting sick. Therefore, it is possible to give someone the flu before you know you are sick as well as while you are sick.
How can we avoid spreading the flu?
Some simple hygienic behaviors that can help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses such as the flu are:
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze—throw the tissue away after you use it.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If you are not near water, use an alcohol-based hand cleaner.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
- If you get the flu, stay home from work, school, and social gatherings. In this way you will help prevent others from catching your illness.
- Try not to touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs often spread this way.
What about the flu vaccine?
The best way to protect yourself and others against influenza is to get a flu vaccination each year. Two kinds of flu vaccine are available:
- The "flu shot"—an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus) that is given with a needle, usually in the arm. The flu shot is approved for use in people older than 6 months, including healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions.
- The nasal-spray flu vaccine—a vaccine made with live, weakened flu viruses that do not cause the flu (sometimes called LAIV for "live attenuated influenza vaccine"). LAIV is approved for use in healthy people 2 years to 49 years of age who are not pregnant.
October or November is the best time to get vaccinated, but you can still get vaccinated in December and later. Flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as springtime.
What is the flu shot?
The flu shot is an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus) that is given with a needle, usually in the arm. It contains three influenza viruses. It contains three influenza viruses which are representative of the influenza vaccine strains recommended for that year. The three vaccine strains – one A (H3N2) virus, one A (H1N1) virus, and one B virus – are representative of the influenza vaccine strains recommended for tha year. Viruses for the flu shot are grown in eggs.
Who shoud get a flu shot?
In general, anyone who wants to reduce their chances of getting the seasonal flu can get a flu shot. However, there are people who are at high risk for developing serious complications from the flu or people who live with or care for those who are at high risk for flu complications.
Persons who should be especially concerned about being vaccinated are:
- All children aged 6 months to five years old, Adults aged 50 years of age or older,
- Persons aged 5-49 years with underlying chronic medical conditions,
- All women who will be pregnant during influenza season,
- Residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities,
- Children 6 months-18 years of age on chronic aspirin therapy,
- All health care workers,
- Out-of-home caregivers and household contacts of children less than six months old, and
- Any persons who would like to reduce their risk of contracting influenza.
Pneumonia Vaccine
People over age 65 and those with chronic medical conditions such as heart disease and diabetes should discuss obtaining pneumonia vaccine with their physicians. The vaccine is effective in preventing many types of pneumonia, the major complication from influenza.
What should I do if I get sick?
It is very difficult to distinguish the flu from other infections on the basis of symptoms alone. A doctor's exam may be needed to tell whether you have developed the flu or a complication of the flu. There are tests that can determine if you have the flu as long you are tested within the first 2 or 3 days of illness.
If you develop flu-like symptoms and are concerned about your illness, especially if are at high risk for complications of the flu, you should consult your health-care provider. Those at high risk for complications include people 65 years or older, people with chronic medical conditions, pregnant women, and young children.
If you get the flu, get plenty of rest, drink a lot of liquids, and avoid using alcohol and tobacco. Also, you can take medications such as acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol¨) to relieve the fever and muscle aches associated with the flu. Never give aspirin to children or teenagers who have flu-like symptoms, particularly fever.

A woman suffered minor injuries late Friday when she was hit by a car while crossing 8th Avenue in Garden City.
The crash happened just before midnight in the 2600 block of 8th Avenue when the woman, wearing all dark clothing, left the Rancho Alegra restaurant, 2523 8th Ave., and attempted to cross 8th Avenue, where she was struck by a southbound vehicle, according to a Weld County Sheriff's Office news release.
The driver of the vehicle had just gotten off work and was driving home when the crash happened. She remained on scene to render aid, but was not initially forthcoming to deputies about her involvement in the crash, the release stated. Deputies investigated the incident, and the driver was cited for careless driving causing injury and obstruction.
Alcohol is not suspected as a factor for the driver's action, however, deputies are continuing to investigate to determine whether speed may have been a contributing factor in the crash.
The victim had only minor injuries, but she was transported to North Colorado Medical Center for precautionary measures. The names of those who were involved in the crash were not released because the investigation is ongoing.

Do not rise quickly during extended fast
The News published a fabulous article about fasting and its potential benefits. I have periodically fasted and have recently begun a weekly fast of 30 hours or more. Anyone thinking of trying this, however, should exercise caution if attempting a total fast lasting more than part of a day. Last year, in the middle of the night around the 37th hour of a fast, I woke to go to the bathroom. Approaching the toilet, I fainted momentarily and was lucky to have broken my watch band and nothing more when I hit the floor hard.
After I recovered, I went online and learned that, during an extended fast, one should rise slowly from a lying position and sit relaxed for at least a minute or more to allow one's blood pressure to stabilize. I had simply gotten up and walked, and within 30 seconds enough blood had drained from my brain to cause me to lose consciousness. Once down, the pressure stabilized and I came to, but I could have hit my head or broken a bone or worse. Good luck, and take your time getting up.

Well ladies and gentlemen, its week two and I am still alive. I must say as much as I love the Giants they are putting a little bit of a cramp in my monday workouts. Its a good thing I only have to do a couple miles on the treadmill, some lower body and some power movements (but thats all!).
First lets get this off my chest GO BIG BLUE, we are Superbowl Bound BABY!
OK On to the workouts. I find myself more and more motivated, Just today I saw a post from an old friend and fellow blogger Hunter Lochte his quote was FAAAAAAAAAAT. Now this is an old running joke we have from our days at Towson. You see, when I was a senior and having arguably my best season, I was also playing on a recently rebuilt ACL, a broken rib in my right side and a torn Hammy. needless to say I didnt do much during practice, I think it was like 20 love face-offs a day and then I would hit the training room for some treatment and some stationary bike riding. It was awfull hard to keep in good enough shape to play ball at that point but I kept my stamina just where I needed it to be to get through a whole game (BUT BARELY) anyway I put on a few pounds during that time and Mr. Lochte and I would joke that it was a good thing my hands were so fast because the rest of my body was NOT…In short I was FAAAAAAAAAAAAT.
So how does that tie into today's post?
Simple….I have figured out over the years that my body structure is that of one that can GAIN or LOSE weight rapidly! In order to keep weight off I absolutely MUST work out at least 5 times a week and I need to eat alot healthier than I did when I was 21. I am still right around 230 but I can already see the difference in my body…I am starting to see that "Lean Muscle", that my trainer is always talking about, it just has not yet overcome the FAAAAAAT.
Tonight I am going to be sluggish being that I got after it pretty good watching the G-Men, but as far as food was concerned I was pretty good…mostly ate meat and veggies….not sure the Bud Light was too good for me (although they say there are alot of electrolights in that stuff, OK who am I kidding)…hopefully by my mid week post I will have something more exciting to tell you about, since tomorrow is my dynamics and therabands day (Tuesdays and Thursdays).
Until Next Time

Without ruling on the central allegation in the lawsuit – did District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III give a pass to a political ally? – a federal judge dismissed a whistle-blower suit Monday by one of Sedita's former prosecutors.
The judge's ruling represents a victory for Sedita in his three-year-old legal battle with Mark A. Sacha, the former prosecutor who lost his job after publicly accusing Sedita of failing to pursue a case against political operative G. Steven Pigeon.
In ruling against Sacha, Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny found that Sacha's public criticism of Sedita's relationship with Pigeon was not protected by the First Amendment or state whistle-blower law.
"It's a great decision," Sedita said Monday. "I feel completely exonerated."
The lawsuit stemmed from Sacha's firing in 2009 and raised questions about political dealings involving Sedita and Pigeon, as well as Frank J. Clark, Sedita's predecessor as district attorney.
In his suit, Sacha claimed that while he was investigating Pigeon, the political operative helped orchestrate a series of endorsements that allowed Sedita to win election as district attorney.
Sacha has claimed from Day One that Pigeon's political and personal relationship with Sedita and Clark is why they passed on prosecuting Pigeon on charges of election law violations.
"As we said from the beginning, the claims were meritless," Adam W. Perry, Sedita's defense lawyer, said Monday.
Sacha's suit detailed Pigeon's alleged involvement in laundering a $10,000 contribution in the 2007 race for county executive.
The money allegedly came from the campaign of former County Executive Joel A. Giambra to the unsuccessful campaign of former West Seneca Supervisor Paul T. Clark, a Pigeon ally.
Paul Clark, who tried to get the Democratic Party endorsement for county executive, got a misdemeanor plea deal in the case, but Sacha alleged that both Sedita and Frank Clark were afraid to pursue charges against Pigeon because of his powerful role in local politics.
"This case draws back the blinds of how things really work," Sacha said at one point last year. "This is all about the oath of a prosecutor to issue justice evenly."
Sedita acknowledged meeting with Pigeon twice during his office's investigation of Pigeon but claims he was unaware of the investigation until months later.
Sedita and Frank Clark have repeatedly denied Sacha's allegations. Both have said that they viewed Pigeon as a witness, not a target, in the Paul Clark investigation, and have suggested that Sacha is nothing more than a disgruntled former employee.
Sacha, who declined to comment Monday, was seeking reinstatement to his job as part of his civil suit, as well as lost wages and benefits and $300,000 in damages.
At the core of Sacha's allegations is a memo he wrote allegedly detailing the criminal case against Pigeon, a former Erie County Democratic chairman.
"I've always thought it was superfluous and malicious," Pigeon said of Sacha's lawsuit Monday. "He was the one who acted politically and personally."
Sacha, who wrote the memo when he was still a prosecutor, wanted to make it public. Sedita fought to keep it secret, claiming the memo is a confidential grand jury document that he is legally obligated to keep secret.
Pigeon, meanwhile, was never prosecuted.
Sacha made a request for a special prosecutor, but former Gov. David A. Paterson denied his request even though his office found a "pattern of violations of election law, some of which may involve money laundering or deliberate evasion of requirements of the election law."
Paterson referred the matter to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan, which has taken no action against Pigeon.
Pigeon, widely viewed as one of the state's most influential Democrats, was closely aligned with the political action committee of billionaire B. Thomas Golisano, former owner of the Buffalo Sabres.
When asked about Skretny's decision not to address the credibility or truthfulness of Sacha's claims against him, Sedita said the decision speaks volumes about the case.
"The court didn't get to the factual merits of the case because there were no factual merits," he said of Sacha and his allegations.
"There are no facts to support his claim."
The relationship between Sedita and Pigeon, and to a lesser extent the one between Pigeon and Sedita's father, retired State Supreme Court Justice Frank A. Sedita Jr., had become a focal point in Sacha's civil suit.
Pigeon doesn't deny his close friendship with the former judge and says that was one of the reasons he was so willing to help the younger Sedita.
Sacha declined to comment on a possible appeal.

ISTANBUL, 26 November 2012 – The International Centre for Hydrogen Energy Technologies of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO-ICHET) today inaugurated Turkey's first hydrogen refuelling station. The facility, known as Golden Horn, is the world's first hydrogen refuelling station to cater for both marine and land vehicles.
The inauguration was witnessed by Kadir Topbaş, Mayor of the Greater Municipality of Istanbul. During his public address, Topbaş said he believed that the widespread use of hydrogen energy technologies was inevitable.
Golden Horn is based on a grid-powered electrolyser, and can produce up to 65 kg of hydrogen each day and store up to 100 kg. It can supply both land and sea vehicles, and can refuel the equivalent of 20 cars with a range of 390 km for a 3.25 kg tank.
As UNIDO's International Centre for Hydrogen Energy Technologies prepares to close down at the end of 2012, UNIDO-ICHET Director James Wetherilt expressed his belief that in the future the centre "will be seen as one that stimulated industry, universities, public authorities and governments alike, both in Turkey and the rest of the world, to understand the need to invest in hydrogen technologies in the manufacturing, domestic, policy and energy sectors".

Lindsay Lohan wasn't at the Los Angeles premiere of her racy film The Canyons on Tuesday night, but cast members had plenty to say about the star and her recovery.
"She's decided not to be here because she's worried coming out of rehab [and] hanging out in L.A. for the weekend," the film's director Paul Schrader told the audience in a speech before the movie was shown.
Explaining Lohan's history with alcohol, Schrader told reporters, "She has been on this Adderall for about five years. It makes her speedy so she has to cut that with vodka. Now you're dealing with a speedball."
Although Schrader told PEOPLE, "People do want to hire her," he acknowledges that the troubled actress, 27, lives in a "crisis atmosphere," adding, "Everything's a crisis. And when it isn't a crisis, she finds a way to make it one."
As for her recovery since finishing 90-day treatment in July in two different centers, "A lot of it's up to her," Schrader said. "If she can create a reputation of reliability, and that's her number one problem, she will have a career because people do … like her."
Producer Braxton Pope recently visited Lohan at the Betty Ford Center.
"We talk all the time and I think she's doing quite well," he told reporters. "She's very serious about her career and future work."
Nolan Funk, who plays Lohan's ex-boyfriend and lover in the film, enjoyed working with the actress.
"It was great," he said. "We ended up having great chemistry. It was a very positive working relationship."
When asked about the former Mean Girls star's recovery, he said, "She seems really focused right now. I can't predict anything, but as of right now, I think she's doing amazing. I'm really happy for her."

All this writing, the mass media is mostly blaming the Republicans for the government shutdown. However, if the Democrats would agree with Republicans to fund everything but Obamacare, the shutdown would end. That is the one sticking point, Obamacare.
Hopefully, both sides could confer and keep what's good in the bill and discard what is not.
Most would agree some provision should be made for pre-existing conditions and would agree that there is too much federal involvement and control in our personal healthcare in this bill. Mediacare patients are now having a hard time finding health care, since providers are not being adequately paid for their services. To make matters worse, money should not be taken from Mediacare providers to help fund Obamacare.

While Moncks Corner Town Council did not have enough members present to field a quorum at its regular meeting last week, council was able to take care of what Mayor Bill Peagler called, the people we need to honor the most.
The mayor said certain situations, prevented council members Michael Lockliear, Johna Bilton, Tonya Aiken-Taylor and Laura Perdue from attending the meeting. Town officials said it was a combination of other engagements and illness the prohibited the four council members from attending.
The lack of a quorum prohibited council from acting on any of the proposed items on this months agenda.
It makes me very proud to be the mayor when we celebrate the towns youth, Peagler said. We had two very successful spring sports teams in Berkeleys baseball and softball teams and its always a pleasure to honor the youth of Moncks Corner.
The Berkeley Lady Stags won a second consecutive Region 8AAA championship while posting a 20-7 record for the 2014 season. The Lady Stags were defeated in the District VIII semi-finals, losing to Socastee 3-2.
Last year we won a region championship and this year we won back-to-back region championships, said Coach Boogie Grooms. That is a first for girls softball at Berkeley High School.
Grooms also announced that Blake Ponder and Brooklyn Stone were named to the Class AAA All-State Team.
Team members are Sidney Kizer, Lexi Samples, Kelston Hilton, Payton Pinson, Peyton Svagerko, Tori Singletary, Olivia Grooms, Blake Ponder, Brooklyn Stone, Brook Stueness, Cameron Ling, Jessica Stanley, Kinsey Hutto and Olivia Hill.
The Berkeley Stags baseball team were 2014 Lower State Runners-up, losing to Hartsville in the 2-0 in the Lower State finals. We beat Hartsville in Game One and forced a second game, but the bounce didnt go our way, said Coach Landy Cox.
This 2014 senior class of Stags baseball won the 2012 District VII Championship, 2013 Region 8AAA Region Championship, and the 2014 Region 8AAA and District VIII Championships.
Since 2012 these Stags have compiled a 31-2 record playing at Jim Bradley Field, Cox said. I attribute that to the fans of Moncks Corner that have come out to watch these kids play and cheer our team on.
Team members are Brad Browder, Brandon Williams, Bryce Kunkle, Chase Ganey, Connor Teague, Craig Mims, Dillon Salisbury, Drew Anderson, Dylan Baker, Eric Orton
Jeffrey Stone, Joe Glauser, Josh Fiddie, Joshua Simmons
Kyle Garrick, Kyle Morrison, Ryan Legette, Sterling Fiddie, Zach Ganey and Zach Gonzales.
Since council could not field a quorum there was no additional business to cover. This months council agenda items will be carried over to the June town council agenda.

Monday, January 21, 2013, will now forever hold a link of historic significance: the birth of the father of the civil rights movement and the first black president of the United States sworn into office for his second term, intertwined on the same day. But are we "unevenly yoking" both men?
"Yoke" is a biblical term meaning "tie together," and the comparisons of President Barack Obama with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. have fluctuated from the positively lofty to the bitterly scathing. Though I understand both, I also cringed at the comparisons. Here is why.
History is interpreted based on the view we get from our vantage point. Add personal experiences, and we have a worldview uniquely ours. Therefore, one has to be careful not to over-simplify, whitewash or heavily personalize.
Dr. King was a renowned advocate for social change: justice, racial equality and equity, unity, and generally a place at the table where all are given a chance—not scraps for some and the choice fillet for others.
But the civil rights movement was just that—a movement. A collective roar for a societal revolution. A collective struggle of blood, sweat and tears through persecution, protests, imprisonment, marches, walks, boycotts, defiance, perseverance and, ultimately, murder.
Dr. King preached a "revolution of values" for America, where every man, woman, boy and girl had the same unalienable rights—and it was that fierce fight by many who came before us that paved the way for a Barack Hussein Obama in the White House.
Dr. King, Medgar Evers, Emmett Till, Malcolm X and several others died so that we may live. That said, Obama is not a civil rights leader. He is the president of the United States, and there is a distinct difference. To keep comparing the two men does a disservice to both of their legacies. President Obama will never take up the mantle of Dr. King, for it is impossible. Moreover, he shouldn't have to.
Those who marched during the civil rights movement or grew up in the era of legal segregation, discrimination, blatant racism, acute inequality—all with the federal government's blessing—will obviously have a different perspective, for your vantage point to history was up close and personal. But expecting Obama to fix all that ails the black community is not only unrealistic but unfair.
Did he do all that he could have done? Of course not—which politician has ever done that? But expecting the first black president to ride in on his magical horse and eradicate centuries of systemic inequality in four years in the stuff of fairy tales.
We should hold him accountable, like any other president, and evaluate him on what he has and has not done to help eradicate poverty, unemployment, unequal wages between the sexes, marriage inequality, unfair taxation and the ever-widening wage gap in this country. But to hold his feet to the fire about ignoring the black communities will get us nowhere fast.
Professor Cornel West and host/activist Tavis Smiley have been on a crusade about Obama's fallacy toward the black community, and though they have a right to require more of their president, to expect he would have singled out one group of people to help because he is the same color is highly naïve.
Obama is a politician, not an activist, and I think some have been woefully confusing the two. Dr. King was an activist, not a politician, and therein lies the difference. His "I Have a Dream" speech, delivered on Aug. 28, 1963, was a powerful predictor of what was to come, and it behooves each and every one of us to live that dream, cloak ourselves in that legacy—not just look to the president.
Do you actually think if President Obama had gone to Washington and worked primarily on "the black agenda," he would have survived politically?

QUOTE (Adeybull @ Aug 9 2010, 09:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hape and Harris in the centres...hell those were the days! I think though that the issue was more that the Bulls were not perceived as in any way incentivising him to stay - indeed quite the opposite? That was my recollection anyway, although happy for anyone to improve on my fading recollection.
Atkins was let go by Macnamara, shortly after taking over, he reckoned we had a number of young players coming through in the backs, and Atkins would get more opportunity with Wakefield to develop, he has haunted us ever since. I know another player was also let go at the same time cannot remember who it was.
Not to be hard on Mac, but it was the time when big debts had to be settled and Leeds were pushing us for compensation, I am sure in normal circumstances a prospect like Atkins wouldn't have been allowed to leave but Mac was under pressure to make savings and if we had adequate cover then players could be let go, and of course Atkins may not have developed.. Our downward path was just beginning.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - The crew from the Outdoor Channel's "Fly Rod Chronicles" wants to show the world the alluring elements of the Eastern Panhandle.
Administrator executive Michelle Fleming said "Fly Rod Chronicles" travels all over the world visiting different fly fishing destinations, which showcase special guests or featured destinations.
"We picked the Eastern Panhandle because of the opportunity that it has for shopping, the races, the ability to be within minutes of a lodge like the Bavarian Inn and having easy access to the trout streams," Michelle said.

Curtis and Michelle Fleming of 'Fly Rod Chronicles' on the Outdoor Channel recently visited Shepherdstown to film for an upcoming episode.
She said the goal of this episode, "Fishing for a Date in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia," is to encourage people to visit the area for shopping, hospitality and, of course, fishing and the outdoors.
"Whenever we personally get a chance to go to the Eastern Panhandle, we do," host Curtis Fleming said.
"We know presidents and governors and very influential high-power people come to the Eastern Panhandle for places like the Bavarian Inn, but we want our viewers to know that the average person can (go) there and enjoy things like the race track and fishing and everything," Curtis said.
The Flemings fished along Back Creek and the Opequon Creek during filming, and stayed at the Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown.
"We went to the Shenandoah, but the water was really high," Curtis said of their March trip.
The pair said this episode provided a rare occasion for Michelle to accompany Curtis on set while they fished, shopped downtown and visited the Summit Point Motorsports Park.
"Curtis chose the location because of the beautiful streams that are near the Eastern Panhandle," Michelle said. "Fishing went very well. Both Curtis and I caught several trout and our lines were tight the entire episode. It was breathtaking and peaceful."
Curtis admits with a laugh, though, that viewers can expect to see another rarity in this episode him being out-fished by his wife Michelle.
Fly Rod Chronicles is a reality television show which tracks Curtis on his adventures to places like Montana, Florida and New Mexico.
Curtis grew up in central West Virginia as the son of a coal miner, and now he and his crew travel the world to pursue his passion of fly fishing, but West Virginia is home.
"Fly Rod Chronicles comes back home to West Virginia," Curtis said while standing in front of the Bavarian Inn during his visit.
"Fishing for a Date in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia" will air April 30 at 11:30 a.m., May 3 at 1 p.m., and May 4, at 6:30 p.m. on the Outdoor Channel.

When Chris Brown arrived at Game 5 of the NBA Finals in Orlando on Sunday night, fans were shocked to see him arrive with a woman who looked very much like Brown's on-again, off-again flame Rihanna. Wearing dark sunglasses, the woman sat two seats away from Brown, and often leaned forward to talk to him.
It wasn't outside the range of possibility for the woman to be Rihanna. Both singers sat just seats away from each other during Game 4 on Thursday night.
The couple, whose relationship has been rocky since Brown allegedly attacked Rihanna in February, have been keeping their distance from each other recently.
During halftime, a crowd formed around Brown and the woman. A teenage fan got past the bodyguards and took pictures with the couple. "I called her Rihanna and she didn't contradict me," says the fan. "She had a faint accent, so I'm pretty sure it's her."
But it wasn't her. Rihanna was spotted in New York City earlier in the day. And many onlookers thought that the mystery woman had different mannerisms than Brown's ex.
So if the mystery woman wasn't Rihanna, who was she? She was Teyana Taylor, an 18-year-old rapper/singer based in New York.
After the game, Taylor took to Twitter to set the record straight. "If one more reporter says that I'm Rihanna, I'm gonna go crazy," she tweeted Sunday night. A few minutes later, she was even more direct "I look nothin like Rihanna."
Brown's rep couldn't be reached for comment

SALEM - Ryan Bush walked into the John A. Cabas Gymnasium for Friday night's game against the Louisville Leopards with 991 points career points in a Salem uniform. When he left, he walked away with 1,003 and counting with 11 regular season games still to play.
"As soon as I hit that free-throw, it overwhelmed me for a second," Bush said. "I looked over at the crazies and they were going nuts, I looked over at my family and they were jumping around."
Bush's 1,000th career point came on a free throw to tie the game with just 1:42 left in the fourth quarter. Career point number 1,001 was perhaps more important, as it gave Salem a 43-42 lead on the ensuing foul shot on the team's way to an evenetual 47-43 win which pulled the Quakers into a first place tie with Canton South in the Northeastern Buckeye Conference.
"I definitely didn't think about a free-throw," Bush said with a laugh. "I thought it would come from like a lay-up or something that I get more often, but it was nice. It was weird after I made the free throw, then I had to come back and make another one after I went over to coach and everything."
Bush's accomplishment was anything but easy against a stubborn Louisville team.
"It was a such a physical game, it was so tough," Bush said. "For a bit there I didn't know if I was going to get it, but I didn't really care. I don't care what game I got it in. I wanted to do it at home, but I really wanted to get the win more."
Fact Box
LOUISVILLE SCORING: Pavin Parks 2-1-6, Bryce Mathie 0-3-3, Ronnie Carter 5-1-11, Alex Schooley 1-1-3, Jake Adams 3-0-8, Alex Hollifield 1-1-3, Blake Hoover 3-3-9.
SALEM SCORING: Ryan Bush 2-7-12, Mike Madison 1-2-5, Zack Wukotich 1-0-2, Brendan Webb 2-1-7, Max Wolfgang 2-4-8, Anthony Shivers 6-1-13.
THREE POINTERS: Louisville 3 (Adams 2, Parks), Salem 4 (Webb 2, Madison, Bush).
Louisville came to Salem with a plan, and it was to spread the floor and slow the high-flying Quakers down. They did just that.
The Leopards used a four-corner scheme to create as much space as possible and force Salem to come out and defend.
When they did, they penetrated, and as the help defense stepped up it left someone open on the block for easy buckets.
After one quarter of play, Louisville led just 7-6.
"We missed too many free throws, that's for sure," Salem head coach Rich Hart said. "That can't happen. You can't go 15-for 27 from the line. That raelly hurt us in the first half. We missed a couple descent shots, we didn't convert. We allowed them to stay in the defense they were in."
The Quakers average 65.6 points-per game this season. At the half on Friday, they had managed just 18.
"I was just glad that it was even. I knew eventually if we kept playing hard we would be alright," Hart said. "We're going to have to win some games like that. We can do it, it's a learning experience, not one that I want to have very often, but we have to learn to deal with some adversity. We did that tonight."
The offense that the Leopards were forcing on Salem was not necessarily in the Quakers comfort level. However, with their experience the Quakers were able to adapt and overcome.
"Last year we would have lost that game," Hart said. "So we gutted it out and played hard. I'm really proud of the way that they played."
Salem once again received valuable contributions from its' bench. Something the Quakers know and rely on when their top-scorers are struggling. At the 2:26 mark of the third quarter, Bush was sent to the bench after committing an offensive foul.
"Again, our bench," Hart said. "We have Wukotich who came in and took the big charge at the end. Mike Madison makes two big free throws. That's how we have to win some of these games. When not everyone is on their best game, our bench steps up and helps."
A basket by Anthony Shivers to open the fourth pulled Salem within two, and Max Wolfgang tied it moments later with a basket off of an offensive rebound.
After a free-throw put Louisville back ahead by one, Shivers reclaimed the lead for the Quakers on a basket with an assist from Wolfgang.
With the Quakers finally out to a lead they had so desperately wanted all evening, the Leopards came back and drew within one. A three by Jake Adams and another basket by Blake Hoover repositioned Louisville with a lead with just more than two minutes to play.
Bush then stepped to the line and connected on two free throws after being fouled, and the Quakers never relinquished the lead.
"Doing it here in the Cabas, and having all of my friends here and everything made it that much more special," Bush said.
"He makes people do what they did today," Hart said. "And that's a tribute to him. It's a great honor for him, there's not many around. It's nice to see all of his hard work come through."
For Bush, the accomplishment is nice to have on his resume, but he is fully aware that his season is not yet over and the feat is just one that wanted to check off in a long line of team goals.
"I just wanted to be really competitive with our team and have a winning season," Bush said. "Hopefully we win the league and I wanted to make it out of districts, we haven't done that in a while. Everyone has been so on board, and I just try to do what I can for my team."
In the midst of a successful season and after a hard-fought victory just moments earlier, Bush paused to think about his career at Salem and the role that basketball has taken in it.
"Basketball has always been my best sport. I put a ton of work in and my dad has helped me so much," Bush said. "I play AAU, and I really put all of my time into basketball. I was always little so i didn't know if I would be big enough, fast enough or strong enough to play at the next level. Now I think I am, and it's exciting to have a chance to play somewhere."
Despite making the transition to Salem just four years ago via open enrollment, Bush feels at home in a Quaker uniform. It's become a part of him like he has been here his whole life.
"Salem has definitely opened up their arms to me and I''ve made some great friends," he said with a smile. "Definitely the closest friends that I've ever had."
Louisville won the jayvee game 47-43.
Ryan Hoover led the Quakers with 19 points. Mike Popa added eight points and eight rebounds.

Over the last five years, opera companies across the country have seen more ups and downs than a Rossini aria. But in Buffalo, Nickel City Opera is celebrating five years of high notes.
Its fifth annual production, this weekend at North Tonawanda's Riviera Theatre, is the comedy "Don Pasquale" by Italian bel canto composer Gaetano Donizetti. Valerian Ruminski, the barrel-voiced bass who runs the company, is giving the production a special, madcap flair.
"We're going to have a bathtub with a bubble machine. Girls are going to be in the bathtub," promised Ruminski, who is not known for political correctness. "I told the guy, 'Let's pull out all the stops.' "
"I want the audience to be shocked. I want them to see something we didn't do before."
There are still trends in opera, even after hundreds of years. And Patricia Kiernan Johnson, of the national organization Opera America, suggests that the companies that survive this tough economy are often smaller start-ups, with angles that are unique, confident and, perhaps, offbeat.
"We are seeing a real trend in entrepreneurial spirit," she said. "A lot of smaller companies are founded on an artist's vision, finding something to say that couldn't be said in larger companies. A smaller company can do something more interesting."
Johnson has noticed small companies that are making a noise in the opera world.
In New York City, the New York City Opera may be struggling but Gotham Chamber Opera is doing well. The upstart company (motto: "Where opera gets intimate") kicked off with "Il Sogno di Scipione," an obscure opera by the young Mozart about ancient Rome. Its current production, a contemporary opera, is taking place in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens.
Baltimore, which suffered the loss in 2009 of the Baltimore Opera, now plays host to several smaller companies including one that performs staged operas in a mansion, accompanied by a piano.
Johnson stressed that the smaller companies are not trying to replace their grander cousins, but want to do something different.
"We're seeing smaller, more agile companies that say, 'Look, we're not going to perform grand opera in a grand house. That's been done. We're going to do something more interesting. I have this vision and I'm going to make that happen,' " she said.
"A strong artist viewpoint is really important. What's unique to your organization? What sets you apart from the crowd? There are a lot of options in the entertainment world and out," she said, citing the Metropolitan Opera's high-definition simulcasts, which can be seen in Buffalo. "What are you doing that's unique?"
Rock and 'Rigoletto'
The answer to that question, in the case of Nickel City Opera, is: "Plenty."
The Riviera Theatre might seem at first to be a provincial location for an opera company. (One production of "Rigoletto" was briefly interrupted by a rock band pounding at a bar down the block.) But the historic movie palace has its singular charms. Visiting singers have likened it to regional European opera houses.
Ruminski capitalizes on the Riviera's strengths. He sells popcorn at performances. For several years he has staged the popular Christmas opera "Amahl and the Night Visitors" on Thanksgiving weekend, accompanied by the Mighty Wurlitzer.
He has always had a populist approach. Before founding NCO, he commissioned Buffalo composer Persis Vehar to write songs for him based on the rough-hewn poetry of Charles Bukowski. He has NCO posters drawn by comic book artists and heavy metal artists.
In 2011, the company performed Puccini's smoldering "Il Tabarro," about marital jealousy on a ship, at dusk aboard The Sullivans. Johnson, at Opera America, applauds such endeavors.
"That's another important point, a real authentic relationship with the city you're in," she said.
Ruminski plans at some point to stage "Shot!," an opera by Vehar about the McKinley assassination. Meanwhile, he has been pulling in crowds with proven hits. Rossini's slapstick "The Barber of Seville" was followed by two dark Verdi dramas, "Rigoletto" and "Il Trovatore." For "Trovatore," Ruminski got a bargain on some of the costumes seen in the 1967 movie "Camelot."
Often, Ruminski has played peripheral roles. His experience showed in how he made the most of them. As the assassin Sparafucile in "Rigoletto," he skulked about with long black hair, at one point picking his teeth. In "Il Trovatore," playing the sidekick of the villainous Duke, he grinned nefariously as the Duke announced his evil plans.
In a surprise move, he is starring in this week's opera as Don Pasquale, a buffoon who decides to wed a young wife, with disastrous consequences. He played the role recently for Hawaii Opera Theatre.
"This for me is a big deal," he said. "It's the first time I've sung a lead role in one of my own productions."
Wooing singers to Buffalo
Nickel City Opera's 2011 induction into Opera America, which requires certain professional criteria, bodes well for the company's future. Even with those credentials, though, and even with a board of directors and Cheektowaga offices, NCO is not out of the woods.
Ruminski is always on the lookout for operas that are affordable to stage and for deals on costumes and sets. He knows other singers from his work with opera companies around the world – including the Metropolitan Opera, the Canadian Opera Company, the Seattle Opera and companies in Europe – and is able to woo them to Buffalo on a budget.
"Don Pasquale" illustrates his knack for smart spending.
"We have a wonderful soprano from Puerto Rico, a graduate of the Academy of Vocal Arts, singing Norina," he said, referring to Zulimar Hernandez, playing the attractive widow who is the opera's leading soprano role. "She just sang this role in Santa Barbara, Calif., two months ago. She sings two Norinas a year. She is a new hot young Norina. I was lucky to get her, in that her agent will let her work for as little money as I'm paying."
Other singers in "Don Pasquale" include Benjamin Brecher ("He and I were Chautauqua artists together when we were kids," Ruminski said) and James Wright, who has appeared as one of the Three Kings in "Amahl." The conductor is Michael Ching, of Opera Memphis. He will be directing a small orchestra – larger than a chamber orchestra, smaller than the BPO. The orchestra will be made up of high-caliber local musicians.
Performances of "Don Pasquale" take place at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the Riviera Theater, 67 Webster St., North Tonawanda. Tickets are $24-$59. For information, call 692-2413.
