on October 29, 2012 - 11:46 PM
The audit committee of Seneca Gaming Corp. has begun an investigation into fraud allegations involving two members of the corporate board, one of whom is a candidate for president of the Seneca Nation of Indians.
The committee is investigating unspecified fraud allegations against Cochise RedEye, corporate secretary, and Jeffrey L. Gill, who serves with RedEye on a board that oversees the spending of hundreds of millions of dollars each year by the Senecas' three casinos.
A news release announcing the investigation was sent out by supporters of Barry E. Snyder Sr., who is running against RedEye and others in the Nov. 6 election. Members of the gaming corporation then confirmed for The Buffalo News that there is an investigation.
"Both Jeff and Cochise should step down from their current positions … until this investigation has been completed," Snyder said.
RedEye is one of five candidates for president in the Seneca Nation's hard-fought election campaign. Both he and Gill are retired Erie County sheriff's deputies.
He denied any wrongdoing by either him or Gill and called the action "completely political."
"Barry Snyder and his supporters control that audit committee," RedEye said.
While not specifying the alleged fraud, Snyder said the audit committee has learned of "serious allegations" of fraud that "[have] been going on for many months." He said Gill and RedEye were appointed to their current positions on the board by Seneca President Robert Odawi Porter.
According to Snyder, RedEye was temporarily removed from the gaming corporation's board in 2009, after a sexual-harassment complaint was filed against him, and Gill was ousted as corporate chairman last year after a female employee accused him of creating a hostile work environment.
Robert E. Mele, the current chairman, said he is unaware of any complaint against RedEye. He said the complaints against Gill have been "fully addressed."
RedEye said he believes he and Gill are under investigation for a trip they took in September to Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., where they met with National Hockey League player Jordan Nolan and his father, Ted, a former coach for the Buffalo Sabres.
"We went there to meet with Jordan Nolan, who is an Indian, and talk to him about coming here and speaking to our young people," RedEye said. "Jeff and I both put in for mileage for the trip, 55 cents a mile, but we paid for our own rooms."
RedEye denied that a sexual-harassment complaint was filed against him by any gaming corporation employee.
Porter called Snyder's statement "a pure political act from a disgraced candidate for president whose campaign is in a death spiral."
Gill, who is running for Tribal Council on a ticket with Porter, could not be reached to comment Monday. Porter is running for treasurer, and his ally, Tribal Council Chairman Richard E. Nephew, is running for president.
In recent weeks, supporters of Snyder and Porter have traded a series of harsh allegations of improper conduct. In addition to RedEye, Nephew and Snyder, businessmen Cyrus M. Schindler and Aaron J. Pierce are running for president.

Well-loved knitwear designer Stefanie Japel shares her "purls" of wisdom with you as she teaches you to knit three unique styles of hats. Circular Knit Lab begins with essential information about circular needles and knitting in the round, including choosing supplies and creating the perfect circumference for any size head. Learn how to increase and decrease in the round, blocking, making jogless joins, and adding fun embellishments like embroidery to your custom-fit hats. You'll learn to knit hats using four different circular knitting techniques. At the end of the course you'll have come full circle and have knitted three hats to wear or give as gifts.
Stefanie introduces herself and goes over all the fun things you'll learn. She also describes the tools and materials you'll need to get started.
Stefanie walks you through using your gauge swatch to determine the stitch count to make for a perfect fit.
Learn how to cast on using a circular needle and how to create a jogless purl ridge, which helps you stop your stockinette stitches from curling into infinity.
Stefanie explains how to start decreasing to create the shape of your hat so that it fits correctly on the wearer's head. She also shows you how to transfer your knitting onto three double-pointed needles in order to do your decreases.
Learn how to finish your hat and how to add circular cording at the top for a cute effect. Stefanie will also show you how to weave in your ends so that your stitches will be secure, your ends invisible and your hat durable.
Begin the Wheeler hat by working in the round using two circular needles, and then work a jogless purl row.
Add a new color and learn how to make a jogless stripe and carry your yarn up from a lower row. Stefanie shows you how to transfer your stitches to a circular needle, knit in the round and decrease your stitches to the top of the Wheeler hat.
Start the Rosie hat with a ribbing around the bottom, then increase the number of stitches to get the shape of the hat and start building the stylish cables that go from top to bottom.
Here you'll learn how to cross cables, a traditional knitting technique with a long, rich history. You'll also see how to rearrange your stitch markers for the next step: Decreasing.
Stefanie walks you through the symmetrical decrease that creates a beautiful top to your Rosie hat. You'll learn how to decrease while maintaining the form of your cables as well as finishing your hat.
Stefanie shows you how to form your hats to fit beautifully and some of the different techniques used to fit a hat once it's made.
Stefanie will show you some fun and cute ways to embellish your newly made hats. You'll learn how to add some simple embroidery and how to make a tassel and a pompom.
Learn how to fix a dropped stitch with Stefanie's step-by-step instruction.
A quick tutorial that will show you how to cast on to double-pointed needles.
Outtakes from Circular Knit Lab: Hats Four Ways.
"I really enjoy all of Stefanie's classes here on Craftsy. Stefanie is such a wonderful instructor and very clear on her directions. I have always wondered about the magic loop method and knitting on two circular needles and Stefanie has broken down the steps so it is easy to understand."

5 Sad Ways A&E Became the Walmart of Television Networks
When it comes to things that used to be great but slowly became terrible, cable television network A&E doesn't even make the list. That's because there was nothing slow about their transformation from useful to useless. It practically happened overnight.
I think this stands for "Alcoholism and Eating Disorders" now.
For the longest time, they were the network that aired two episodes of Biography every day while also delivering original, scripted programming that skewed toward a more history-minded demographic, like the audience you might expect a show like Downton Abbey to attract today, for example.
Mike Coppola/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
So people who fantasize about working as servants, then?
You sure as shit don't think of highfalutin Brits when someone mentions the "Arts & Entertainment" network these days, right? A management change in 2002 saw the network undergo a dramatic makeover. The "smart" stuff like Biography and anything history related that didn't involve gambling addicts pawning their possessions got transplanted to the Biography Channel and History Channel, respectively (and appropriately, I suppose). Meanwhile, A&E began focusing almost exclusively on lowbrow fare like Dog the Bounty Hunter and Gene Simmons Family Jewels.
Jason Kempin/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Fuck you, art!
That's the abbreviated story of how the cable network America used to rely on for its "intellectual" programming became the same one that currently finds itself at the heart of the Duck Dynasty controversy. Oh, hey! The debacle surrounding that show in particular is something I discuss at length with my Cracked co-workers Randall Maynard and Kristi Harrison, along with special guest comic Josh Denny, on this week's Unpopular Opinion podcast, which you can listen to right here if you're so inclined ...
For the purposes of this article, let's focus on the network that absurd show calls home. There was a time when flipping the channel to A&E was like the television version of visiting a museum. Now, sadly, it's a lot more like visiting Walmart. Here are five reasons why ...
#5. They Flood the Market With Cheaply Made Products
Feng Yu/iStock/Getty Images
Is there a bigger knock against Walmart than this one? Even if you manage to make peace with their long list of other failings, it's hard to justify spending your hard-earned cash on cheaply constructed bullshit, which is exactly what their critics accuse Walmart of peddling.
I'm not here to shit-talk Walmart, so let's look at how this same criticism applies to the people who bring you Duck Dynasty. It all starts with that aforementioned (provided you read the intro) management change in 2002. That was the year A&E sold its soul to reality television, culminating in their current lineup, most of which consists of cheap-to-produce "scripted reality" fare like Duck Dynasty and less beloved franchises like Billy the Exterminator. As a recent industry report pointed out, a show like that usually boasts a per episode budget in the $250,000 to $450,000 range.
It only looks like it has a huge budget.
Meanwhile, the same budget for a show on the lowly USA Network is more in the $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 range.
No matter where you stand on their entertainment value, those numbers don't lie. Cheap is cheap, and there's no better word to use when describing how a show like Storage Wars is made.
Are they dangerous, though? That's another common gripe against cheaply made products. When retailers start relying on shady Chinese factories and the like for their goods, you never know when that crate of easy-to-swallow kids' toys will arrive slathered in a fresh coat of delicious, lead-based paint.
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty
Give them to a child you dislike today!
While the chances of falling victim to physical harm as a result of watching shows like Duck Dynasty are slim to none, that doesn't mean they're completely safe. That show in particular has been called out as bordering on social and political propaganda at times, which probably explains why supporters of the show seem to have absolutely no qualms with Phil Robertson's statements. It's like expecting Fox News viewers to be angry about someone saying mean things about Obama.
Of course, from a financial standpoint, making 10 shows for the price of one is a no-brainer, but just as it is with buying three "Great Value" brand frozen pizzas for the price of one DiGiorno at Walmart, the saying "you get what you pay for" was coined precisely for this type of situation.
It's not delivery ... obviously.
Even if you take the obvious questions about the entertainment value of the reality shows A&E has hitched their wagon to out of the discussion, there's another cost associated with watching A&E that puts it even more in line with the world's most despised retailer.
#4. Their Business Model Is Built on Exploiting Workers
Andy Reynolds/Photodisc/Getty
"Think about the workers, man." That's the kind of misty-eyed plea you get from Walmart opponents when all other arguments against you saving $15 on a Blu-ray player fail to make an impression. You're unlikely to hear that same talking point in a discussion about the merits of Ice Road Truckers, but it's just as appropriate.
See, the report mentioned in the previous entry was authored by the Writers Guild of America and was meant to call out the awful working conditions that the crews of "scripted reality" shows often endure. It includes horror stories about people working 100 consecutive hours with no breaks or 20 consecutive 16-hour workdays without a single day off. All of this while being paid as if they'd simply worked a normal, 40-hour work week.
Jupiterimages/Stockbyte/Getty Images
It's not just the people who have to watch this bullshit who get hurt.
Forced, unpaid overtime is exactly the kind of thing that has earned Walmart its current reputation as a soulless corporate entity that values profit over employee well-being, and it apparently runs rampant in the world of reality television. For another check mark in the similarities box, consider that reality show producers are able to demand this kind of work by employing "independent contractors" who don't fall under the jurisdiction of the labor unions that traditionally have protected those employed in the television industry from being exploited. It's that lack of union labor on most reality shows, at least in part, that keeps the budgets so low.
Mike Simons/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Pictured: A great way to convince a Walmart executive to hire someone to murder you.
Walmart has never been too secretive about its disdain for labor unions and their potential impact on the low prices that made the company famous. If the plight of the hourly employee is a fight that matters to you, watching a Parking Wars marathon is a great way to support the wrong side without ever realizing what you're doing. Just a heads up!
Also, just like we accuse Big Blue of all the time, when it comes to A&E ...
#3. Women Are Unfairly Represented
Sergiy Tryapitsyn/iStock/Getty
I suppose if there are any A&E apologists out there, this is the point that can most easily be argued against. After all, the CEO of A&E is, in fact, a woman. The common complaint against Walmart (and the basis for a famous lawsuit) is that, even though women make up over 70 percent of the hourly staff, they're only employed in one-third of the management positions. I don't know the gender breakdown of the rest of A&E's corporate staff, but a female CEO makes that argument a bit harder to make against them as a company.
Still, if reaching is your thing, there is a slightly modified version of that same argument that you can make. You simply need to consider that, according to their own numbers, the A&E audience is 65 percent female, but those reality shows that are currently buttering their bread only feature women in the title role twice, once in the obligatory "girls can do everything boys can" show, Rodeo Girls, and again in the "broads is crazy" romp, Psychic Tia.
In fact, the latter of those two shows speaks to the one slot in their programming schedule where A&E, unfortunately, always made sure women were in the spotlight.
See, at one time, A&E had a television show for just about every mental illness a person could have. From the drug addicts of Intervention to the OCD drama of Obsessed, if someone was being "crazy" somewhere, A&E probably had a camera in their face.
One of the defining shows of A&E's "let's document a downward spiral!" period was Hoarders, and there was good reason for that, of course. The stories profiled on that show were indeed pretty insane, enough so that the long since deceased Ian Fortey once wrote an entire column about the show.
It's probably what killed him.
Now, here's a potentially surprising fact: Did you know that men are more likely to become hoarders than women? If, like a lot of America, your knowledge of hoarding comes from what you learned watching A&E turn it into entertainment, you're definitely forgiven for thinking it would be the other way around. Of the subjects profiled in six seasons of that show, women outnumbered men by an astounding margin of 108 to 44.
I get that the "crazy cat lady" always makes for a good story ...
Ryan McVay/Digital Vision/Getty Images
This is how it starts.
... but if what A&E was selling all those years (the show was cancelled in 2013) was truly a "realistic" look at hoarding, shouldn't there have been a few more "crazy cat dudes" profiled along the way? Maybe I'm the one who's insane, but the fact that there weren't seems a little unfair to me.

Rewind 2012: No. 6 - Chico couple accused of killing son
Chico doctor, wife accused in the killing of their adopted son
UPDATED 9:57 PM PST Dec 30, 2012
CHICO, Calif. -- After a months-long investigation, a Chico doctor and his wife were arrested in April on charges of killing their 2-year-old adopted son.
Dr. James Yhip, 46, and his wife, Edelyn Magakat Yhip, 43, were arrested after their son, Benjamin, died on April 19, according to Butte County Sheriff's Department.
A coroner's report said that Benjamin died of blunt-force trauma.
The couple was arraigned on murder and felony child endangerment charges in July.
Enloe Medical Center said Dr. Yhip was a member of the medical staff since June 2006, and his wife worked at the center since July 2011.

Clearly, Ohio public schools require a better system for ensuring education administrators are not lying to the public. Gov. John Kasich and legislators should see to it that one is established.
Student attendance reports in every Buckeye State school district are being examined to determine where cheating occurred to make the numbers look better than actually was the case. There is evidence the practice has been widespread.
In discussing what amounts to a conspiracy among many of her subordinates, Columbus school Superintendent Gene Harris admitted last week dozens of administrators changed attendance data.
One reason for that was the district's ''gainsharing'' program, through which principals and teachers in schools that appeared to be performing well on the state's ''report card'' were rewarded financially. They received pay bonuses for good numbers, including those on attendance reports.
Harris insists she did not know about the cheating - and in a way, that is a problem. It should make Ohioans wonder whether cheating on statistics is being covered up in their school districts, perhaps even being kept from superintendents and boards of education.
Another comment by Harris also is disturbing. She has cited by name a Columbus schools official who showed principals how to alter attendance data. He has been reassigned to other duties.
Why hasn't he been fired?
Anyone involved in lying to the public about school performance should be fired. And, again, it is clear the state needs a corps of investigators to root out cheating and to ensure those responsible are punished.

The body contains a natural process to stop bleeding from minor cuts in a matter of several minutes. When a small artery is cut, the collagen fibers in its tissue are exposed, which signals the clotting process to begin. As platelets begin to adhere to the cut edges, they release chemicals to attract even more platelets. Eventually a platelet plug is formed, and the external bleeding stops. Clotting factors in the blood cause strands of blood-borne material, called fibrin, to stick together and seal the inside of the wound. Eventually, the cut blood vessel heals, and the blood clot dissolves after several days.

Bas Czerwinski/Associated Press file photo
It�s not so much that the Lance Armstrong story was too good to be true. Now it might just be too good to let go.
Even after investigators unveiled a scathing report portraying him as an unrepentant drug cheat, Armstrong continues to confound his public with rivaling images: a rapacious, win-at-all-costs athlete or a hero who came back from cancer.
We�ve all heard his story before: An up-and-coming cyclist gets stricken with testicular cancer at age 25. He�s given less than a 50 percent chance of surviving. Instead, he fights it off and comes back stronger. He wins the Tour de France seven times. Hobnobs with presidents. Dates a rock star and pretty much becomes one himself. Uses his fame and success to raise millions to promote cancer awareness.
Even if it all really is the impossible fairy tale it sounds like � one built on a brittle mountain of drugs, deception and arm-twisting � it�s the narrative the world has happily listened to for nearly 15 years.
More than 1,000 pages of finely detailed evidence from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency now are in the open, supporting its decision to ban Armstrong for life from cycling and order his titles stripped for using performance-enhancing drugs. Yet while other sports stars who have faced drug-induced downfalls � Marion Jones, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens � fade from memory or become objects of scorn, Armstrong keeps rolling along.
You can see it in social media. Sure, negative comments dot the landscape � people have put an �X� through the �v� on their Livestrong wristbands to make it read �Lie strong�. But the tributes also keep coming: a few dozen new posts on a Facebook page called �Lance Armstrong Supporters,� either vilify USADA or tell Armstrong they�ve got his back.
You can see it from the sponsors � Nike is one example � that are sticking with Armstrong. You can see it in the donations to the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which have spiked since August, when Armstrong announced he wouldn�t fight the doping charges.
And it also shows in the way Armstrong steadfastly goes about his business. On Thursday, the day after the USADA report came out, he was at his foundation headquarters in Austin, Texas, looking for a place to hang a picture. On Friday, he linked to his Twitter account a shiny new slide show touting the top 15 things his foundation has accomplished since it was founded 15 years ago this month. Star-studded anniversary celebrations are in the works.
�His whole story kind of falls into the category of, sometimes good people do bad things, or, conversely, sometimes bad people do good things,� said Stan Teitelbaum, author of Athletes Who Indulge Their Dark Side. �In a way, it�s the �Whatever Syndrome.� There used to be a strong sense of indignation at things like this. How could my hero be this way? But when we the people, we the public, get disillusioned so many times, we shrug our shoulders and we just say, �Whatever.��
But because of the cause Armstrong represents, the hope he�s given and the money he�s raised, it could be more than that.
His story, to say nothing of those 84 million yellow Livestrong wristbands he�s sold, speak to a larger truth: A good number of the more than 25 million people fighting cancer worldwide look for inspiration to gain the strength to keep going. Armstrong showed them it could be done, while raising more than $500 million to help their cause.
His critics give him credit for raising the money but say he did a disservice to cancer patients by giving them false hope. One takeaway from the report could be that it really does take more than will, moxie and hard work � which is all Armstrong said he needed � to beat cancer and return better than ever.
�The problem believers are facing now is that the thing that made him remarkable, the thing that made them love him, is that he always won,� said Daniel Coyle, author of Lance Armstrong�s War and The Secret Race, which he wrote with Tyler Hamilton, a former teammate and witness against Armstrong. �Now, we�re getting an accurate X-ray of how that happened, and people have a choice. They can look at these facts and decide it was too good to be true. Or close their eyes and keep believing.�
Gregory De Respino, whose wife, Gail, died of cancer in 2009, is among the legion of Armstrong fans who aren�t as interested in USADA�s version of the truth. De Respino said he pays virtually no attention to news of the investigation, the testimony or the evidence because, he says, �you don�t get anywhere damning people for their past.�
�My opinion of him as a man has not changed. His pro career is past, and that�s where it stays for me,� said De Respino, who lives in the New York City area and gives regularly to Livestrong. �He�s a cancer survivor, and his entire story revolves forward from that. If you want to take one piece of his life and make that the only story, that�s your choice. But I think that�s one reason he chose not to fight anymore. He�s got bigger fish to fry. He�s got a foundation that needs his full-time attention.�
The fervent support the 41-year-old Armstrong still engenders, in the wake of such damning facts and testimony from nearly a dozen ex-teammates, is a sign of the emotion his story still holds. That�s an element missing from the stories of Jones, Bonds, Clemens, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and others who�ve been tainted by the cloud of performance-enhancing drugs.
None of them overcame what Armstrong did.
That point was driven home in a blog written in August, after Armstrong gave up fighting the sanctions, by Dr. Leonard Lichtenfeld, the deputy chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society. Lichtenfeld watched Armstrong give a passionate presentation to the Texas state Legislature years ago in support of a multibillion-dollar funding bill for cancer research. The legislation passed, with no small credit to Armstrong, Lichtenfeld said.
�I will tell you, hands down, I have never witnessed anything so powerful as I witnessed that night,� Lichtenfeld wrote. �He created a mission that will live long past him, and will survive whatever people choose to make of the events surrounding him. He has taken the message of survivorship to the world with a power that no one else possesses.�
Lichtenfeld declined an interview request but said his feelings haven�t changed.
Jay Kornegay, race and sports book director at The LVH casino, has watched his industry profit when emotion, at times, trumps logic in decisions made through the prism of sports. He sees how that could happen with Armstrong, even as his story plays to an increasingly savvy and more cynical public.
He guesses the resilience of Armstrong and his brand is as much a sign of steroid fatigue as anything else.
�I think this is just a simple case of people saying, �We�ve heard the story before. Everybody does it,�� Kornegay said. �He�s a great humanitarian who helps so many others, and he continues to do so. So, they say, �Hey, we�re going to give him a mulligan on this one.��

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. -- Seconds after the Boston Marathon bombs exploded, David Green pulled out his smartphone and took a photo of the chaos developing a couple hundred yards in front of him — the smoke, the people running in panic.
The Jacksonville businessman then put his phone back in his pocket and went to help the injured. It wasn't until Thursday, when officials released surveillance video of the two suspects in the twin blasts, that Green realized what he had — a picture of 19-year-old Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, distinctive in his backward white baseball cap, walking away from the scene.
Tsarnaev, known to the FBI as Suspect No. 2, was still on the run Friday, prompting authorities to shut down the city of Boston and its western suburbs and warn residents to stay inside with their doors locked while police and federal agents hunted him down.
Tsarnaev's older brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, identified as Suspect No. 1, was killed overnight, officials said.
When Green's photo of one of the Boston bombing suspects fleeing the scene first surfaced, there was considerable doubt as to its authenticity because of the very low resolution of the image, which made the photo appear to be a composite image. When Green later provided the high-resolution frame directly from his cellphone, editors of The Associated Press were able to establish its authenticity based on the improved resolution as well as the time the photo was taken. The AP has established an exclusive arrangement for distribution of the photograph.
Green, back at his home in Florida, wore his yellow and blue Boston Marathon jersey as he talked about the now-famous photo, his finisher's medal from the race propped on a shelf in his home office.
Green, 49, had finished Monday's marathon in 3 hours and 17 minutes, about an hour before the blasts. An avid endurance athlete and CEO of 110% Play Harder, a sportswear company, it was his first Boston Marathon and four of his co-workers had come to the finish line to cheer for him.
After he recovered, he went back to Boylston Street, where the finish line is located, to watch the rest of the race with his friends. He realized his phone was dying, so he went into a nearby store with a recharging station.
About 15 minutes later, he was walking back to his friends when the first bomb went off.
"I thought maybe it was a cannon," Green said. Then the second one exploded as he was walking toward it.
"When I saw it, I pulled out the camera and immediately took that picture," Green said.
He then put it back in his pocket and went to help the injured, including a boy and others who were missing limbs.
"It was like battle — a lot of noise, a lot of smoke, people coming at me in a panic," he said.
A short time later, his friend Jason Lubin texted him and asked if he was OK. He replied with the photograph and a note: "It was just in front of me."
Lubin said Thursday night, after the FBI released photos of the two suspects, that he decided to take a closer look at Green's photograph — on the off chance Green had captured anything unusual. He pulled up the photo on his smartphone and zoomed in on the crowd. There in the lower left corner was Tsarnaev walking around a corner, his backward white baseball cap standing out amid the dozens of panicked people fleeing. He appeared to be buttoning his jacket.
"I literally had to sit down," Lubin said.
He said he immediately sent Green a text message.
"I told him in my view it was a 100 percent match with the guy on TV," Lubin said.
That prompted Green to contact the FBI, which told him to send them a copy of the photograph.
He said that looking at the photo now, he is struck by two things: Tsarnaev isn't carrying the backpack the surveillance videos show him with before the bombings, and he is acting very differently from everyone around him.
"He is calmly walking, without panic," Green said.
This Monday, April 15, 2013 photo shows a man who was dubbed Suspect No. 2 in the Boston Marathon bombings by law enforcement, on the left side of the frame, wearing a white baseball cap, walking away from the scene of the explosions. The FBI identified him as 19-year-old college student Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who along with his brother Tamerlan, 26, previously known as Suspect No. 1, killed an MIT police officer, severely wounded another lawman and hurled explosives at police in a car chase and gun battle during a night of violence, early Friday, April 19, 2013. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed overnight, officials said, while his brother Dzhokhar remains at large.×

Queen's Freddie Mercury died in 1991, but in 2013 he can still get 60,000 people singing along to "Bohemian Rhapsody."
As fans waited for Green Day to take the stage at London's Emirates Stadium earlier this month, a video shot from the upper deck captures the crowd's enthusiastic sing-along of the 1975 hit.
The highlight comes around the 2:00 mark as the guitar kicks in and thousands of concertgoers on the field in front of the stage begin pogoing. The group effort reaches its loudest point here:
"So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby -- can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out -- just gotta get right outta here"
Commenters on the YouTube page where the video is posted were caught up in the moment as well.
"This makes me cry and smile so big at the same time. I love rock fans. Long live Queen!" wrote highlyillogical.
"Humans are so cool," said becauseimabigdork.

on February 10, 2013 - 5:47 PM
, updated February 11, 2013 at 12:02 AM
Along with Ryan Miller, the Buffalo Sabres' penalty killers spent more than two periods carrying the team. They provided a boost during an otherwise sluggish outing and were the main reason the Sabres and Boston Bruins entered the final period in a 1-1 tie.
The short-handed unit finally faltered in the third, and Buffalo's winning streak was over.
Boston's overmatched power-play group broke through with 12:08 left, lifting the visitors to a 3-1 victory in First Niagara Center. The Sabres, who had won two straight, fell to 3-7-1 in the last 11 games.
The Sabres play Tuesday in Ottawa, their second road game against the Senators in a week.
Miller had little chance when the Bruins made it 2-1 with 12:08 left. Chris Bourque's shot from the point bounced off the back boards and caromed into the faceoff circle to a driving Patrice Bergeron.
He ripped a shot into the top corner for Boston's fourth power-play goal of the season. Boston's Milan Lucic scored into an empty net with 48.6 seconds left.
The busiest players in the first period were the goaltenders. Miller faced 16 shots while Anton Khudobin saw 13, but neither allowed one to find the net.
Boston controlled the opening three minutes, leading the fans to give a mock cheer when Cody McCormick's long-range dump-in with 2:51 gone gave Buffalo its first shot. The reaction was a carryover from Saturday, when the New York Islanders outshot the visiting Sabres, 43-15.
The Sabres' fourth line of McCormick in the middle of Patrick Kaleta and John Scott actually got Buffalo going. They got the puck deep into the Bruins' zone on their first two shifts, and the third featured a candidate for fight of the year.
Kaleta skated hard across the ice to drill defenseman Dennis Seidenberg into the boards, which Boston's Gregory Campbell didn't like.
He instigated the fight, which ended with the crowd of 18,869 on its feet.
Kaleta threw 16 lefts, nearly all of them haymakers and uppercuts, and celebrated a unanimous decision.
The Bruins tested Miller often late, especially the trio of Brad Marchand, Bergeron and Nathan Horton. The goalie also had to stand up to a hard-driving Chris Kelly in the waning seconds, as the Boston center crashed hard into the post after getting slashed by Cody Hodgson with 2.5 ticks left.
The Sabres opened the second period short-handed, and they spent much of it that way.
They killed the Hodgson penalty, but shortly after it ended, Steve Ott (unsportsmanlike conduct) and Alexander Sulzer (cross-check) went to the box. The Sabres' penalty killers, who opened the game ranked 18th in the league, outworked Boston's 30th-ranked power play.
Christian Ehrhoff slid to knock the puck away from Marchand on a breakaway. Buffalo caught a break when Milan Lucic missed an open net, but it allowed just four shots during the extended short-handed situation.
The Bruins, though, continued to tilt the ice and finally solved Miller. Andrew Ference collected a turnover by Tyler Ennis and quickly fed Marchand in the slot. He put his shot through traffic just inside the far post with 7:10 gone, giving Boston a 1-0 lead and its 23rd shot through 27 minutes.
Ennis made up for the mistake with his fifth goal of the season to tie the game.
Drew Stafford intercepted Dougie Hamilton's clearing attempt along the boards and spotted Ennis alone in the slot. The center deked right to get Khudobin down, then went around the left side to put the puck home with 1:59 to go.
Ennis has found the net in three of the last four games.
The Bruins opened the third period the same way they spent the opening two, by testing Miller.
Thomas Vanek's giveaway went directly to Marchand in the slot.
He tried beating Miller with a high shot, but the goalie's glove won the duel with 1:22 off the clock.

Her four sons sat where their mother always did, cheering on Mansfield High School the way their mother did even after all four graduated.
And there in that quartet snapshot last Wednesday was Margaret Berguson's enduring legacy.
Berguson passed away last Monday, creating a huge void in both the Mansfield and Wellsboro communities. Berguson touched countless lives while raising her for sons in Mansfield and teaching Spanish at Wellsboro. Ironically, Mansfield and Wellsboro are fierce rivals. That was the power of Margaret "Peggy" Berguson, though - she could bring enemies together and make them one.
Everyone liked the woman affectionately called "Mrs. B."
Prior to Wednesday's Mansfield home game against Sayre, the Tigers honored Margaret with a moment of silence. Every team member than went over to her four sons and shook their hands. Those four, in order from oldest to youngest: Jeff, Mark, Tim and Luke, took their mom's place because she always attended every home game.
Luke graduated two years ago, but still Margaret remained loyal to Mansfield. Still Margaret remained a Mansfield staple, beloved by all.
Fact Box
Dr. Masse's Top 5
1. Williamsport (17-2)
A year ago, a dramatic late-season win over State College helped propel Williamsport to a district championship and the second round of states. Time will tell whether last week's 68-64 win at State College will have a similar impact but it was certainly a big win at a tough venue. Williamsport beat a perennial state title contender in a game that featured 19 lead changes and again excelled in the fourth quarter. The Millionaires have shined in the fourth quarter throughout the season and blitzed Altoona in that quarter-and the whole game-two nights later in a 69-42 road win. Williamsport holds the top spot in the District 2-4 Class AAAA standings, edging out Scranton (16-3). All six teams in the field have at least 13 wins so it should be a challenging tournament.
2. Loyalsock (18-3)
The Lancers have proven as tough as they are talented throughout the season and especially Saturday against Lewisburg. Loyalsock lost a nine-point halftime lead and went down by three in the fourth quarter, but never buckled. Even when Lewisburg hit 11 of 14 shots to start the second half, the Lancers stayed calm, responded and won a second straight league title.
"Lewisburg is a great team and they kept coming back but every good team comes back and fights," Loyalsock guard Mike Pastore said. "Every one on our team gave a good effort and we got the job done."
3. Lewisburg (19-2)
Senior guard Jesse Flannery played a terrific game against Loyalsock. Flannery grabbed seven rebounds, dealt six assists and was key to Lewisburg's comeback despite constant full-court pressure defense.
"Jesse was getting hounded like crazy and he was very solid with the ball," Vaji said. "He hit some shots and took it to the hole. I don't know many other guards in area who could handle the ball with that kind of pressure and that kind of hounding on them."
4. St. John Neumann (18-1)
Call me crazy, but I don't think Neumann losing is a bad thing. The Knights no longer have the pressure of trying to stay undefeated hovering and can now just focus on trying to capture a district title. Neumann captured its first HAC-III championship Saturday, bouncing back to beat South Williamsport, 79-53. Alize Johnson scored 25 points in the win. The Knights will play Thursday in the inaugural Heartland Tournament at Mifflinburg, likely against either Danville or Loyalsock. And how great would a Loyalsock vs. Neumann matchup be?
5. Wellsboro (18-1)
The Green Hornets continue their match toward 21-1 with three games this week, starting tonight against Williamson. Wellsboro has won 11 straight since losing to Lewisburg and has won three straight NTL-West championships. The Hornets have lost only two league games during that time and no league team other than Mansfield has beaten them in league play since 2008.
Player of the Week
Roger Wilson, Loyalsock
Wilson is making himself an all-state candidate and had a huge week, doing it all in three straight wins. Wilson averaged 17 points, 10 rebounds and 8 blocks. He had 24 points against Montoursville and recorded his 13th double-double against Lewisburg.
Game of the Week
Danville at Williamsport
Friday's game features a showdown of defending district champions. Danville (16-2) won the District 4 Class AAA crown while Williamsport captured the District 2-4 Class AAAA title. Both are favorite to repeat too so Friday's game should be a fun one.
The best way her sons could honor their mother was by being there the way she always was there for them. Look at those four young men and one sees a reflection of Margaret.
All four shined athletically but even more away from the court or field. Jeff served in the Navy for four years and is now studying at Penn State. Mark is in his second year at prestigious Thomas Jefferson in Philadelphia. Tim recently graduated with a degree in physics from Juniata and Luke is playing basketball while excelling academically at Lebanon Valley College. Mark, Tim and Luke all have their names on district championship banners and all four helped usher in an excellent era of Mansfield basketball.
Behind that success was Margaret. Many labeled Margaret as a teacher and mother but she was so much more. She was a role model, a friend, a mentor and an inspiration to her sons and so many she taught. Those lessons she taught will be passed on to other generations by her sons and her students.
Margaret Berguson lives on. Her legacy will forever be enduring.
Loyalsock center Roger Wilson is having a dominant season, averaging a double-double while becoming one of the district's best shot blockers. What really has helped the senior take his game to another level, however, has more to do with his evolution as a person.
Wilson has become a mature team leader and teammates are looking up to a player who has come a long way in the past year. Wilson started becoming a force late last season, but his own emotions sometimes got in the way. Loyalsock coach Ron Insinger said Wilson could be his own worst enemy, losing his composure when things went wrong.
Those days are long gone. Wilson shakes missed shots or turnovers like bee stings now. Instead of growing frustrated, Wilson comes back harder. The results have been obvious.
"The thing with Roger is he has learned how to maintain his composure and that has enhanced the other aspects of his game," Insinger said after Wilson's 24-point, 11-rebound, five-block performance against Montoursville. "He has his moments where he struggles but the difference between this year and last year is last year he couldn't bounce back from any adversity. If he misses his first three shots now he knows the next three are going in. That positive attitude has made a difference in the quality of play he exhibits on the court."
Wilson showed how far he has come in Saturday's 61-55 win over Lewisburg. The senior picked up two fouls in the game's first four minutes, but never lost his cool. Instead, he played smart and under control, scoring 16 points, grabbing 11 rebounds and blocking seven shots as the Lancers won a thriller.
Wilson opened his season with 10 consecutive games in which he grabbed at least 10 rebounds. He has recorded 13 double-doubles and played some of his best games against Loyalsock's toughest opponents. In three games against State College, Communications Tech and Lewisburg, Wilson has 59 points and 41 rebounds. Last Monday he put on a show against Hughesville, blocking 12 shots in 22 minutes of a 70-47 win.
Wilson's game has evolved the past few seasons and so has he. The convergence of the two at their peak has helped Loyalsock build on its winning tradition.
"Roger has become a natural leader too. The kids really look up to him," Insinger said. "He's a student of the game now. He wasn't before. He relied on his natural ability. Now he wants to learn and wants to get better."
I know I sound like a broken record and I do not care. The District 4 seeding process is garbage. As predicted last week, Lewisburg and Loyalsock will end up in the same bracket as the No. 2 and 3 seeds, respectively. And here's the ridiculous part: Loyalsock (18-3) captured the HAC-II championship Saturday, completing a season sweep of Lewisburg (19-2) and yet will be seeded below it. Even crazier is that Wellsboro (18-1) likely will be the top seed even though it lost to Lewisburg on a neutral court, has not played the schedule those two have and has not won a playoff game since 2006.
Do not get me wrong, Wellsboro is an outstanding team with district title potential, but there is no way it should be seeded higher than Loyalsock or Lewisburg. Even if District 4 just adopted a bonus points system that football uses this could be remedied since Loyalsock's and Lewisburg's wins over several bigger school teams would put them at the top.
Loyalsock's three losses are to Class AAAA state title contenders Williamsport and State College and Class AA state-ranked Communications Tech. Having a system in which teams get punished for playing strong teams is totally illogical and flat-out stupid. District 4 has enough trouble advancing teams in states, the last thing it needs is its strongest teams bumping each other off before the championship.
Sadly, nothing will change. Nearly every year, something ridiculous like this happens and year after year, District 4 refuses to change its illogical, tired and archaic seeding system. A guy can dream, though.
Sullivan County recorded a gutty 51-49 win at Bloomsburg on Saturday, three nights after Bloomsburg handed St. John Neumann its first loss. The Griffins (19-2) will be seeded no lower than No. 2 in the District 4 Class A tournament as they seek a second straight title ... Hughesville clinched an AA playoff spot in dramatic fashion, beating Warrior Run 48-46 in overtime. The Spartans (11-10), four-time district champions between 2006-11, overcame an eight-point, fourth-quarter deficit, rallying in the fourth for a fourth time this year. Tristan Jeffreys had a double-double and is one of the area's most versatile players ... Muncy (15-5) has won six straight games and is having its best regular season since 2004 when it won its last district title ... Ammar Sabanovic had 11 assists in Saturday's 58-49 win over Millville.

'Amen Corner' opens Friday at the Actors' Warehouse
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 2:47 p.m.
You may cry, maybe even laugh a little, and certainly be uplifted by the gospel music during "The Amen Corner," a classic play by James Baldwin that explores the role of the church in the African-American family.
'The Amen Corner'
What: James Baldwin's play about an African-American pastor and her family
When: Opens Friday with a free preview performance at 8 p.m. today, showtimes are 8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays, 3 p.m. Sundays through Feb. 3
Where: Actors' Warehouse, 608 N. Main St.
Tickets: $15; admission is free for tonight's preview and tickets are two for one on following Thursdays
Info: 870-0064, www.actorswarehouse.org
Directed by Steven H. Butler, the play, originally done in three acts, opens Friday with a free special preview at 8 tonight. Performance times are 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, and 3 p.m. Sundays through Feb. 3 at The Actors' Warehouse at 608 N. Main St.
Tickets are $15 for general admission with two tickets for the price of one on Thursdays. Tickets are available at the door or online at www.actors
"'The Amen Corner' is a play about faith and family, about the gulf between black men and black women and black fathers and black sons," said Butler. "It is a scalding, uplifting, sorrowful and exultant masterpiece of the modern American theater."
Baldwin (1924-1987) is one of America's most pre-eminent writers, a novelist, essayist, playwright and poet. "The Amen Corner," which is Baldwin's first work for the theater, centers around a wife who is a preacher having to deal with her long-wandering jazz-playing husband who comes home to die. The play is set in a church in Harlem and in the apartment of Margaret Alexander, the pastor.
"The love, confusion, drama and good music which frequently goes on in the black community is part of this play," said Brenadette Harper, the production's assistant director. Harper said the play is true to Baldwin's original script, with some changes in the music.
Rhonda Wilson, founder and director of The Actors' Warehouse, play Odessa. The cast also includes Amanda Edwards as Alexander, Shontae White as Luke, L'Tanya Van Hamersvald as Sister Moore, Nykki Barnes as Sister Boxer, Lee A. Wallace as Brother Boxer, Lamont Wallace as David, Anna Williams as Sister Rice, LaKesha Hobdy as Sister Sally and Danielle Butler as church member Ida Jackson.
"This James Baldwin classic drama continues to give audiences a chance to reflect on life and love," Butler said.

In an Instagram message posted early Wednesday, Zelda takes aim at vicious social-media users, chastising them for "mining our accounts for photos of dad" and "judging me" for not having posted more photo tributes.
"I will be leaving this account for a [bit] while I heal and decide if I'll be deleting it or not," she writes. "In this difficult time, please try to be respectful of the accounts of myself, my family and my friends. Mining our accounts for photos of dad, or judging me on the number of them is cruel and unnecessary. There are a couple throughout, but the real private moments I shared with him were precious, quiet, and believe it or not, not full of photos or 'selfies.' "
She adds: "I shared him with a world where everyone was taking their photo with him, but I was lucky enough to spend time with him without cameras too. That was more than enough, and I'm grateful for what little time I had. My favorite photos of family are framed in my house, not posted on social media, and they'll remain there."
Zelda wraps up by thanking supporters for "your respect and understanding in this difficult time. Goodbye."
She also took to Twitter, apparently in the aftermath of a verbal scuffle with users who reportedly sent her upsetting Photoshopped images of her late father.
"I'm sorry. I should've risen above," she Tweeted. "Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye."
I'm sorry. I should've risen above. Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye.— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) August 13, 2014
As Williams expressed her hurt, she was consoled by Frances Bean Cobain, who lost her own father, rock star Kurt Cobain, to suicide when she was just 2. Cobain, now 21, reached out to Williams's daughter on Twitter, offering her support.
She posted Tuesday: "@zeldawilliams You have such an incredibly beautiful soul. I love you but you already knew that. Wherever, whenever u need me I'll be there."
Robin Williams was found dead early Monday morning at his home in Tiburon, California, and authorities confirmed Tuesday that the 63-year-old, who had been undergoing treatment for depression, died of asphyxiation after he hanged himself with a belt.
Authorities declined to elaborate whether a note was found or there were indications of drug or alcohol use. The final cause of death will be determined in about two to six weeks after toxicology results are released.
The Williams family is asking well-wishers to send contributions to charities close to the actor's heart in lieu of flowers. Suggested organizations include St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Challenged Athletes, USO, the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center, the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco.
If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Deeplinks Blog posts about Social Networks
Update 2: On May 26, Facebook launched new privacy controls, which will be rolled out to users over a few weeks. These instructions are for the old controls. If you have received the new controls, please use our revised instructions.
Once upon a time, Facebook could be used simply to share your interests and information with a select small community of your own choosing. As Facebook's privacy policy once promised, "No personal information that you submit to Facebook will be available to any user of the Web Site who does not belong to at least one of the groups specified by you in your privacy settings."
How times have changed.
Today, Facebook removed its users' ability to control who can see their own interests and personal information. Certain parts of users' profiles, "including your current city, hometown, education and work, and likes and interests" will now be transformed into "connections," meaning that they will be shared publicly. If you don't want these parts of your profile to be made public, your only option is to delete them.
EFF has posted documents shedding light on how law enforcement agencies use social networking sites to gather information in investigations. The records, obtained from the Internal Revenue Service and Department of Justice Criminal Division, are the first in a series of documents that will be released through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) case that EFF filed with the help of the UC Berkeley Samuelson Clinic.
One of the most interesting files is a 2009 training course that describes how IRS employees may use various Internet tools -- including social networking sites and Google Street View -- to investigate taxpayers.
Over the weekend, there was an odd story about people using AT&T's wireless network trying to log in to Facebook, and suddenly finding themselves logged in to somebody else's Facebook account. What could have caused such a strange phenomenon to occur? What does it tell us about the innards of the mobile web, and what lessons might it convey for network and application design?
Ars Technica had a good post documenting some of the possibilities, and AT&T has now made some public statements containing a few key clues about the problem. We have a few things to add.
[Warning - this post gets fairly technical]
As you may have heard by now, one of the biggest problems with Facebook's recent privacy overhaul was that it removed users' ability to hide their friend lists from the world. This was one of several changes that were met with substantial criticism and anger from the media and from Facebook users. The significance of the changes was eloquently explained by Joseph Bonneau, a researcher with the Cambridge University Security Group:

The items marked new does that mean their sealed and just like overstock or does it mean sealed with damage or what? Just want to make sure of that.
Never seen a new AWD item but the descriptions are spot on. If it doesn't mention anything then it's brand new.
If for some reason it's not amazon CS will make it right, either with a partial or full refund.

quote: Imagine if Halliburton were contracted to build a new interstate
quote: Multirole stealth planes? Not so much.
quote: I don't know what you are not getting about the "multi-roll" aspect here and how it, combined with stealth, ballooned the development costs of the F-35 all to hell.
quote: I don't know why you are defending people who are talking your tax dollars and wasting them.
quote: Some of the greatest fighters and bombers in the world had similar problems early on like you're describing. Hell some had worst!
quote: Correct me if I'm wrong
quote: You've no idea how much I'm dumbing this all down for general consumption.
quote: I named a number of aircraft that each do things the F-35 claims to be able to do.
quote: Are you an aeronautical engineer?
quote: Do you work for Lockheed?
quote: Yes but no single aircraft has ever had to do ALL the things being asked of the F-35 airframe. Hello?
quote: If this were anything other than a defense matter, you'd be demanding the head of each member of the company's board on a platter.
quote: There ain't half as much novel, never seen before things on the JSF as Lockheed Martin would like you to believe.
quote: If you want to get nitty gritty, let's look at your examples:
quote: How many commercially successful fighter planes in existence can you think of that have supersonic capability, VTOL and stealth?
quote: And why point out the 20-30 year age? You honestly think it's possible to design, engineer, build, test, win the govt. contract, and enter mass production in 3-5 years for a fighter plane?
quote: I heard the new russian Air to Air radar can now pick up the f22 at something like 10 miles
quote: Urgh - unfortunately that confidence is at times horribly misplaced.
quote: Like I mentioned before when put in a more "fair" situation where they were flying highly trained german pilots in mig 29's against F18 pilots it was not a slam dunk for the f18 pilots at all.
quote: The Government asked Lockheed to build a shit sandwich, and that's essentially what we got.
quote: It's not Lockheed's fault.
quote: What they should have said was the program will be crippled by requirements A, B and C. It should be split into two programs, completely separate airframes.
quote: Then they wouldn't have gotten the contract probably.
quote: Oh well, it's not my job to enlighten them.
quote: You can't realistically focus on being the number one military power, it just comes along with the territory when circumstances are right.

At this wonderful time of the year, it seems incredible there are people who do not have, indeed do not want, a garden.
It doesn't have to be large or time-consuming. You can have a garden in a dish on the dining room table if you wish, but everyone needs a garden in the spring. Something is born in us, or maybe just some of us, that is attracted to the green leaves, the new grass and the colorful daffodils, and calls us to be a part of all this wonderful growth.
There are all kinds of excuses people give for turning their backs on nature's exuberance, and I will herewith demolish some of them. (The excuses, not the people).
"I don't like to get dirty": That is the easiest to do away with. There is a very good product known as Lava Soap that is an instant cure for dirt, and if you will dig your nails into a bar of soap before you get your hands in the soil, the grime will melt away under the tap.
"I don't have time": OK, you sleep for eight hours, work for another eight, spend at least two hours cooking and eating, one in the car on various travel needs, and that leaves you with five hours to read the paper and watch TV.
Couldn't you give up one of those leisure hours to make something wonderful? Like a garden?
"I live in an apartment": All right. Does it have an entrance? A window? A doorway? A porch? If so there are lovely containers to hang, perch, situate or just put down where they will give you a lift every time you go in or out.
Just a small bag of potting soil and a pot, box or basket and you can walk or even run to the nearest source and buy a few plants growing, with the hard part already accomplished for you. All your plants will need is a little sun and occasional watering, and you have a garden!
Do take time to read the helpful labels provided for you. It is a recipe for disappointment to try to grow a sun-loving flower in a dark corner of your living room or to burn up a shade-loving fern on the sunny front steps, but there are helpful people everywhere plants are sold who are trained to help you make wise choices.
"I don't know how": That is a feeble excuse. Libraries and bookstores are filled with helpful books and magazines, and I know you have friends who are dying to help you out of your pitiful situation with more help and advice than you will ever need.
"I don't have a green thumb": No one is born with one. It would be a great concern to the pediatrician if your baby arrived so equipped.
You weren't born with the ability to read, either, but you learned that, didn't you?
"I don't like gardening": How do you know if you haven't tried it? Remember how your mother insisted you just try one bite? And then often you found that you liked it.
If you have an excuse I haven't listed, let me know. And don't try "I am too old." I bet I am older than you.
Janet Del Turco is a local gardener and a graduate of the Ohio State University Master Gardener program. Contact her at email@example.com.

Love is the mother of seven children: Chloe [7], Anika [6], Ellie [4], Clayton [2], Bianca [2] & two sons who wait on the other side of the world. She lives in Valparaiso where she & her husband own a custom home building business, Crusader Homes. They are anxiously awaiting the call for a court date to bring the boys home & hope to be a family of 9 by summer.
She is a former pediatric registered nurse, but now enjoys implementing those skills on her own brood & while on mission trips. People often tell her how full her hands are. She wishes they could see just how full her heart is. She blogs her family's journey at Moments With Love.
Thoughts from Love: When Stephanie told me that Listen to Your Mother would be coming to Valparaiso and that she would be producing & directing it, I was so excited for her! Such a great fit with her loves and talents. I excitedly told her that I'd be happy to help with anything she would need for the production.
Then, lying in bed one night, I felt like I should audition. I immediately knew what I was supposed to talk about in my piece, but I had no desire to do so. I mean, I didn't want to read my piece to just Stephanie in a coffee shop to audition. Stand up on stage in front of a bunch of people?! No way. But, my life is not my own & I had a story to tell. That is what I adore about Listen to Your Mother. We all have a story, don't we?
So, I sat up the night before the auditions and typed out the piece. It spilled onto the screen from my heart. Each experience that I talk about is a real experience-- a real child. My prayer is that in sharing my love for these children it will open up more eyes & hearts to think about how we might be able to expand our roles as
mothers even more.
I'm honored to have been able to share this story in the production & here with you. Thank you for this opportunity, Steph. This has been so fun & even more so to experience this journey with you.
I must admit that -even being a real-life witness to the entire journey of Lovelyn finding her son Clayton in Uganda and bringing him home as well as watching her family wait patiently and longfully for two more brothers who are almost home- before her Listen To Your Mother audition I never truly deep down in my heart "got" just exactly the burning passion and gift she has for the motherless children on the other side of the world. I felt like you're either called to it or not, and if you know you don't want to adopt, I kinda thought I had no business being involved. But there is more, so much more- not just in Africa, but even outside your door. Lovelyn's piece opened my eyes and heart more than I could have ever imagined.
Every Sunday I'll be featuring a "behind the scenes" of each Listen To Your Mother Valparaiso/NW Indiana piece. You can watch the entire show on the Listen To Your Mother Show YouTube channel here or see each piece listed and linked here and here.
