Anyways...here comes round 2...let's see if this thread can make it to 1000 posts...hehe
And while plenty of people are unfairly attacking him, I don't see how it has anything to do with the fact he's Canadian, just that he's at opposing sides to a popular skater.
When do you think Brian gave this interview with the Toronto Star? A few minutes before the interview went online?What he said yesterday and this morning was enough.
It seems Orser still wants to believe Kim is just looking after her mom.
But based on the tone of her note on Cyworld, she's not. Kim is quite good at writing in Korean so that you can easily notice what she's genuinely trying to say if you know Korean.
I'd like to tell Orser this: Brian, I know you genuinely loved Yu-Na. I could see that in your eyes last four years. But all the media fuss YOU started really hurts Yu-Na, your beloved first pupil who led you to coaching career. You even hit her again revealing her LP music. So disappointing given your fame and integrity. Please, please stop all the media play.
I think it's amusing how there's suddenly lots of wonderful new posters (aka Yunabots) popping up and taking digs at Brian - quite a contrast from the worshipful attitude accorded to him whilst he was serving as the High Priest to the Goddess. How swiftly the winds change, eh?
I say, rock on Brian - he's handled himself well thus far and is entitled to speak the truth when he's asked about it.
Phil Hersh follows up with Yu-Na Kim's web statement, Orser's email that was shown on SBS, plus his comments about Mao Asada and David Wilson: http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/...eir-split.html
Maybe everyone needs to learn something.
For sure, Brian needs to learn how to be fired with grace and dignity and a shut mouth.
Both sides made public statements. Orser gave reasons why he made the first announcement. Even if you don't buy it, they make sense. ATS then said he was the one who broke it off, to which he felt the need to clarify the situation, and then the situation escalated.
"Corporation, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." - Ambrose Bierce
Oh man there is no reason for this to continue, and this is getting more irritating and outright pathetic by day. Orser has been fired like tens of millions folks here, and that is all there is to it. People are getting fired all over, and they are not asking for why what when how, etc. I know he is a millionaire by the way, and he should be grateful for that.
It is time for Orser to suck it up and take it like a man and move on. There is absolutely no point to continue making himself available to the media, and this does not help anybody. It is time for Orser to show some balls.
What the heck are you guys talking about? When people feel that they get wrongly terminated or when they are in a bad working environment, you bet they make a big stink about it.
Not to mention, that according to the initial ATS statement, they said he was the one who terminated it, isn't that right? This wouldn't have exploded so much if they didn't string him along all summer then get defensive about Yu Na's image when he finally decides to make it public so he could move on.
One thing I don't get is why Yu Na and her team are being so secretive about it. If Orser is the one in the wrong here, then they should clarify the situation with something more than "Stop lying B!" and "I can't tell you what's going on but please trust me that I'm speaking the truth." They can still be "classy" and not resort to what some people think as bitter behavior but actually tell us something. The way it looks now, it seems that Yu Na and her team are hiding something.

Afghan government official assassinated
Wednesday 24 August 2011
A local government official has been assassinated in southern Afghanistan - the third official killed in Helmand province in a week.
The governor's office in Helmand said two gunmen on a motorcycle fired at a member of the Nawa district council yesterday evening in Lashkar Gah, the provincial capital.
The councillor was rushed to a hospital but died of his wounds.
Insurgents have responded to heavy pressure from US and Nato coalition forces by targeting officials and others aligned with the Afghan government.
In two incidents, militants killed a councillor and chief prosecutor from Gereskh district.
On Friday, a man with a bomb hidden in his turban blew himself up outside the Helmand governor's compound. One policeman was injured in the blast.

Unfortunately, Netflix has decided to stop supplying the expiration dates of movies because they're "inaccurate as a result of frequent, often last minute, changes". This sucks. Personally, I'd rather have faulty expiration dates than nothing at all, but this is the world we live in now. We'll just have to find the strength to go on.
Nothing has been announced...

In the Room with Robert Wright (produced version)
Video Interviews with Krista Tippett
SoundSeen (our multimedia stories)
One of Wright's favorite philosophers, and some background on "non-zero sumness."
Question to Robert Wright: "How Does the Evolution of God Relate to the Evolution of Women's Rights and Standing in Society?"
Selected Readings
This first chapter gives a good summary of the ideas behind Wright's newest book.
Selected segments from Robert Wright's conversations with digital physicist Edward Fredkin and sociobiologist E.O. Wilson.
Pertinent Posts from the On Being Blog
If you consider yourself "spiritual but not religious," can you help us understand what this term actually means to you? Does science have something to do with it?
His answer to the audience question, "Is religion potentially dangerous?" is one that's often asked in the context of the seemingly intractable conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
A found image adds a layer to the relationship between Darwin's theory and religion.

Your Comments
When you speak of the "evolution" of God, could you not call it the "revelations" of God?
If we're genetically wired for compassion...does it follow that some people or peoples are more genetically predisposed to love or extend acts of mercy than others?
I missed the show. Can I listen to or watch it somewhere on your site?
Just finished listening to the conversation with Robert Wright in the most recent podcast. Many thanks for sharing such a thought-provoking dialogue. Many of Wright's ideas about "the evolution of God" resonate with some of my own thoughts about how the interpretations of spiritual texts in religious traditions often fluctuate according to the dynamics within culture and society at a particular point in time.
However, I found myself wondering if his propositions might be a little limited in scope.. He spoke a great deal about how the perception of the Christian God has changed with the development of civilization, but do the conclusions he reached ring quite so true if we take into consideration religions of the East (e.g. Hinduism or Taoism)? Has the perception of Hindu deities become more compassionate as Indian society has moved toward globalization?
Another thought I had relates to his "relentlessly logical" perspective on compassion. I really appreciated Krista's challenging, yet amiable questions to Mr. Wright regarding the limits of his views on religion. I also wonder if something might be lost in conceiving of compassion in such a logical manner... I can know that my neighbor is deserving of kindness or that I am likely to benefit most from acting altrustically, but I would argue that true compassion is not possible without a dimension of feeling that is not based in rational analyses. This "feeling" aspect of compassion may be influenced by the logos that Philo so adored, but it cannot be evoked by logic alone. Emotions are by their very nature elusive of the top-down control of reason and rationality (consider, for example, how a fear response in the amygdala of the brain often "overrides" the activity of the brain's frontal lobes concerned with more rational thought processes). Perhaps there is something that emerges in the ritualistic and communal aspects of various spiritual traditions that serves to connect individuals with the less-logical dimension of compassion.
I have a serious problem with Robert Wright's idea of the New Testament representing universal love. As a Jew, when I read the New Testament, I find it full of hated of Jews. Reading the New Testament makes me feel physically ill, literally.
Robert Wright talks about Philo, but he ingores Maimonides. He also ignores Jewish mysticism completely.
I forgot a major point. Judaism is not an "Old Testament" religion. It is a Rabbnic religion. No Jew reads the Bible without the surrounding commentaries of centuries of commentators and the Midrash. Does he even know these exist? Probably not, most Christians don't. I recommend The Commentator's Bible by Michael Carasik. He has two volumes out so far, Exodous and Leviticus.
As a 66 yr old retired scientist, I've been pondering these issues over many years, especially on the Nordic Track with my eyes closed and my mind attempting to be empty, but failing miserably...Here's what I've come up with so far about 'purpose'. Not much really.
Perhaps one of the properties of matter, at least matter as it becomes more organized into cells, tissues, organs, creatures, is what we call 'consciousness'. At least in this microcosm of the universe, evolution appears to be in the direction of more organization (for awhile). What is the purpose in this? One evolutionary scientist suggests that this is so we can awake and admire ourselves, creation, the universe. Perhaps. I'm not sure, but one can certainly suggest there is a 'direction' in this 'evolution'. I should limit this observation to life on Earth, as I haven't been authorized to speak for any other 'life' forms yet, lol. What we do with this 'gift' when we stop killing each other, is to explore our surroundings. This 'need to know' is what appears to drive us. Maybe consciousness will get us into too much trouble and be discarded like some colossal evolutionary mistake (of which there are many), but I like to think not. We have this penchant for discovering how things work and the 'purpose' may be revealed in this odyssey. It would be nice to think that the purpose is to discover our 'purpose' and return to the source (whatever that means). Sounds like a copout, but that's all I've got. I'm still thinking....
Wright's work, patching up the God concept, isn't necessary outside of monotheism. In the East, there never was "the deal with the Devil" that Descartes made with the church, splitting spirituality and reason. James Burke, In The Day The Universe Changed, explains in the last episode, Worlds Without End, while the West was focused on "outer space" the East was focused on "inner space."
I believe Einstein agreed with him: "The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description." --Albert Einstein
This scientific world view is merging with eastern spiritual experience and even Neo-Platonism. This is the truth of quantum physics. It shows the limitations of this Western Cartesian mind.
This conversation between Krista and Wright strikes me as rather "christian chauvinist". To suggest that there is a move toward a universal understanding of god, overlooks Neo-Platonism and Buddhist practice which has always recognized universal consciousness. Not just a dualist notion of a separate god, but access for everyone to the divine within all of us, all of creation, and the universe.
These wisdom traditions were driven out by the hegemony of Orthodox Christianity in about the 5th century, from which it appears from Wright we are slowly recovering.
Supposing it is all moving in the right direction, but this 2000 years of dualism is in fact a kind of zig in the zig zag forward. It will be seen as a very abusive time.
The Buddhists in Tibet or in Thailand have a totally different experience of life on this planet. They haven't pushed the planet to the brink of destruction with their consciousness. That move was a uniquely Western, Judeo-Christian expression, moderated in some ways by Islam which carries more of the indigenous expression, such as forbidding killing fruit trees or destroying water sources. But not sufficiently to avoid this coming cataclysm, which is a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy taught in these foundational texts.
The presence of Monotheists everywhere leads to zealously inspired wars from those books. They are the big problem in India now, and Nigeria. The Western materialism of Marxism is what is destroying Tibetan Buddhism, not the other way around. Like the native Americans they could have lived on for a lot longer without wrecking the ecosystem, nor the soul of man, such as happened in the US with neo-liberal economic religion and philosophy destroying cultural traditions and ties dating back to times immemorial. All this in a country where untold millions attend religious services every weekend and hear readings from these texts.
I understand though with donor situations as they are in the US, we can't speak openly about these things on radio. That is the same thing that happened on NPR with the news, so that now David Horowitz gets to slam Howard Zinn in an obit without any factually based remarks against all norms decorum because he is considered to legitimately represent a conservative viewpoint. Without any factual basis that seems to be the conservative viewpoint.
"Christian chauvinism" we will have to live with in the US until the collapse finally shows all this religion for what it has always been. Then the wisdom traditions and quantum notions can finally regain their place 1600 or so years after getting wiped out by Pope Cyril or someone like him. Only those with that access to the divine will survive it! Those bathed in hatred and rage and dualism will reap it upon themselves.
Ms. Tippett,
My wife and I quite enjoyed your dialogue with Mr. Robert Wright. We especially liked the sharing of your views on the blending of science and spirituality. I believe you would find the writings from the Baha'i Faith on the topic of science and religion quite interesting. Below we have added a link for your convenience.
Dan and Amy Haghighi
Dear Ms. Tippet, You probably get Baha'i responses often and know what I'm going to say ! I haven't seen a Baha'i program come by yet, though. A Baha'i precept is to study all the religions, not just our own.
It was interesting to hear Mr. Wright describe much of the Baha'i explanation of religion as being one entity, but more as a mechanic on the exterior.
If already familiar, you know we understand all religions are one revealed, progressive message and guide from God, and the "love and truth" and Divine attributes -- common threads per the author -- are never abrogated, being the "Eternal Covenant" of God with man.
The conflicts Mr.Wright identifies are either the man-made aspects or the impermanent elements of the "Lesser Covenant" that each "Manifestation" of God or founder brings to a certain place, level of human growth, and time. And points of disagreement are a big study.
Each One, limits Their revelation to what can be understood and benefit at the time. For example, look how the simple Genesis story of creation describes how the universe became, but in " seven days" (approx.: dark, light, form, water, life .. )and for apt for a rudimentary human understanding. No Prophet is less than or would repudiate Those before, but are Themselves dependably denied by leaders of belief of their time.
Science now tells it accurately, and a teaching today is that true science does not contradict God - unimaginable that it would. So all "errors" between them have some base to look over.
Above it all, God and religion are one, and in this revelation we are told - and ordered, I guess - that man is one and the virtues, again being revivified, are this time to realize the oneness of humanity and practice it.
To avoid the man-made divisions, Baha'u'llah said we approaching the maturity of humankind, and all must be educated, (girl child in preference to boy child if the resource is limited!), and each person must understand God's will individually and now have no priests, pastors, or other interpretations.
And obviously, there will be more guidance every millennium or so as God guides us out of the next deterioration of the message, and according to conditions and readiness due to our advancement.
Anyway, thank you for your work and programs.

"This handful of days on earth will slip away like shadows and be over. Strive then that God may shed His grace upon you, that you may leave a favorable remembrance in the hearts and on the lips of those to come.
~ Bahá�u�lláh."
I think we're taking a simplistic understanding of evolutionary principles too far! Evolution presumes that enough time has passed for innumerable variations of the species to be "evaluated" by nature with regard to fitness. Can one really make the same claim of human religions? Are the two most widespread religions (Christianity and Islam) that way solely because they were more compelling to minds/spirits/souls (probably the "fitness" we're after here)? Didn't they also rely on the sword/conversions under duress quite a bit of the time? Wouldn't this latter force negate the applicability of Darwinian logic?
When I say I am spiritual but not religious, I usually mean that I recognize
that I am part of a grand Totality, part of a cosmos which, in encompassing all
that is, is infinitely creative and transcendent; and yet, is also a cosmos of
which I am a necessary, inextricable part, even though I am mortal, and thus it
is also a cosmos that is finite, ephemeral, and mysterious--this is my spiritual
nature. What I mean by not being religious is that I no longer subscribe to the
formal orthodox beliefs of organized religions, with all their rites and rituals
emanating from mythic conceptions of the universe. In the age of Einstein and
Darwin I have no need of the God hypothesis as an explanation for the nature of
being. Humans are the symbol using animal, and "God" as a cognitive symbol
(concept) for the Creation, and its implied, though invisible Creator,
originating in the ignorance of our ancestors, is a useless and irrelevant
legacy beside our evolving scientific understanding. But residing within my
being, and resonating AS my being, there is a need for synergy, fusion, one-ness
with, as Native Americans might put it, "all my relations." Spirituality is
about relationship--to the sky, the earth, the flora and fauna that surround me,
the visible and invisible presence of animate and inanimate forces, too numerous
to name, too powerful to ignore. And a framing of the moral temper of my
being's relations to all of that. I have found that while religion may aid in
acknowledging the awesome sacredness of Being, it cannot and does not explain
it, nor is helpful, ultimately, in living sacredly. (By living sacredly I mean
living in the full awareness of the preciousness of life, one's own and that of
the creatures and plants we devour.) Religions' mythic symbolism keeps getting
in the way. One can discover and live a life of sacredness without religion. I
do so. This is what I understand Mr. Wright to be suggesting in his basic
thesis about the Evolution of God. The "Evolution of God" is really the
evolution of humanity towards a more perfect moral order--with or without the
God hypothesis.

Shrimp – Imported (Ebi)
The bottom trawls used to catch most imported shrimp damage benthic (seafloor) habitat and result in large amounts of bycatch, including commercially important fish species and endangered sea turtles.
Tropical shrimp trawl fisheries lack adequate management and enforcement. Imported shrimp species are short-lived and highly fecund (fertile), although information on their abundance is lacking.

I know this sounds stupid, were do you buy Verizon phones? Is the only place the Verizon store?
Over the last 10 years I have owned 2 phones. I fell in the water yesterday and killed my current phone, so I want to replace it. The 2 times I have purchased phones it was when I signed up or changed service.
My current contract is long since out of its term, and it is much cheaper than a comperable plan today, so I don't want a new plan. But it looks like if I buy a phone at a verizon store without some kind of contract it is full retail at an absurd price.
Any suggestions? Amazon had a couple, but even those weren't very cheap.

No, definitely not true. Only those at the Capital City could see the layout. Soldiers in the field were still restricted to only the limited communications received from the Linked Thinkamancer, so only those she could afford the juice to speak to got a report, and that was a restricted report. It was better Intelligence than any other Side got, but certainly not on the scale you're proposing.
During the link up, it cost you the counsel of three independent casters in favour of one that you were not to consult for opinions. You saw more, but had fewer ideas of how to deal with it, amplifying the weakness of GK leadership. Coupled with a genius leader, yes, the table could be extremely powerful. Coupled with poor leadershhip, you were exposing the weakness of the Side with a fancy toy they could not adequatey exploit.

Second-Half Run Leads Mason Past UNCW
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 02/14/2013
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - Senior Joyous Tharrington poured in a career-high 18 points and added nine rebounds to lead George Mason to a 62-52 victory over UNCW in Colonial Athletic Association women's basketball action Thursday at Trask Coliseum.
The Patriots improved to 8-14 overall and 3-8 in CAA play as they won their second straight contest. The Seahawks, meanwhile, moved to 2-20 and 1-10 with the setback.
Tharrington was one of three Patriots players to reach double figures as junior Janaa Pickard pitched 14 and senior Amber Easter pitched in 12.
Senior Karneshia Garrett scored 15 points and added a career-high 19 rebounds for her ninth double-double of the season to lead UNCW. Junior Jessica Freeman joined Garrett in double figures with 14 points and added eight rebounds while sophomore Kelva Atkins pitched in nine points and six boards.
Following a tight first half that saw a total of seven ties and 10 lead changes and neither team lead by more than four points, GMU held a 42-37 advantage when a free throw by senior Melissa Collier sparked an 11-2 spurt that gave Mason its first double-digit lead of the game, 53-39, with 6:32 remaining.
The Seahawks would battle back, scoring nine of the next 11 points to make it a 55-48 contest with 3:13 remaining.
The Patriots would keep the Seahawks from getting any closer, however, tallying five of the next seven points to determine the 10-point margin of victory.
Both teams return to action Sunday. UNCW hosts Georgia State at 1 p.m. while George Mason entertains Towson in a 5 p.m. tip.

Intersection | Former Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Charles Wells
June 18th, 2013 | WMFE- One month after the hotly contested 2000 US presidential election, the Florida Supreme Court ordered a statewide manual recount of votes. Just one day later the US Supreme Court overturned that decision, ensuring the election of republican George W Bush as the 43rd president of the United States, and ending the presidential hopes of his rival, Vice President Al Gore.
This week on Intersection, 90.7's Matthew Peddie talks to former Florida Supreme Court chief justice Charles Wells about his new book Inside Bush V. Gore, an account of how Wells and his fellow justices worked to resolve the election, grappling with ballot problems like hanging chads, dimpled chads and absentee ballots- and problems with the state's election laws.

I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
Alas, I'd decided to see SFB but couldn't get the time off from work. Never mind, I may still get to DC before the year is over.
Why have I never heard of the wonderful Smuin Ballet before? They were fab.
emason and I both enjoyed the PNB presentation at the Guggenheim last week.
The topic was Ballanchine; specifically, the way his choreography changed over the years. Peter Boal is a terrific speaker, articulate and witty. (he could give tips to a certain AD ) I was mjorly impressed with Carla Korbes (sorry I can't do the umlauts) and Seth Orza.
I found it amusing when Seth was demonstrating a move, and Peter kept repeating, "Now, look at Seth." I thought, "Well, you don't have to tell me twice!"
(He is swoon-worthy)
Foy anyone interested in Morphoses: they are performing in Sweden on Oct 23, and Scandinavia House (in NYC) will stream the performance live. It's free. If you go, I suggest you check out the gift shop as they usually have Geisha chocolates. (Overpriced, of course, but the only place I've found them in NYC)
The restaurant is pretty decent, too.

Repulsive news: Ivan Vasiliev has joined ABT as principal.
I'm with Haglund as far as the direction ABT has been taking lately.
I strongly doubt whether I will be suscribing to ABT again in the near future. And I will avoid Vasiliev, Osipova and Simkin like the plague.
That is all.
I have to admit that I'm still wondering why ABT is considered one of the top ballet companies in the country, as opposed to an excuse to see guests/guest principals like Cojocaru and Vishneva and the place where Marcelo Gomes is, but I've heard almost nothing but good-to-great things about Osipova's performances (even if she was meh in the "Giselle" movie, and as if the Mariinsky didn't have principals to dance the role.)
"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
I find her vulgar and sloppy. She's good at pole dancing, though.
Don't get me started on Vasiliev. He should join the Trocks. Ha!

Sorry, but vulgar for me is epitomized by Anna Netrebko in the Met's loathsome production of Manon. Nothing I have seen ballet-wise touches that.
I've liked Osipova in what I've seen so far; maybe I just picked the right performances; her Kitri was amazing, but, then again, I am the original no teknik viewer.
I've enjoyed Vasiliev too, but I wouldn't buy a ticket on the strength of his name, and, yes, he really is more suited to the Trocks.
I haven't seen Somova. Lucky me?
Pretty much.
"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
I love Osipova. Her Giselle with Hallberg was amazing.
I have only seen Vasiliev in Spartacus, and I found him sloppy and vulgar, but nearly the whole ballet is either sloppy or vulgar or both.
I don't get Somova at all.
Mariinsky is coming to DC in October with Cinderella (Ratmansky blah) and I have Thursday night tickets to see Pavlenko. Anyone think I should switch nights?

I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
Come up to NYC this Sunday and see NYCB with me. I still owe you a dinner.
I went to NYCB's dancer chat on Friday evening; the dancer in question turned out to be soloist Antonio Carmena. What a charmer! I asked him if he remembered his first time on stage with NYCB. He did - he was one of the adults in the party scene in "The Nutcracker" and was a mouse on the same evening.
If you've never been to one of these things, it's basically Q&A between the dancer and the audience. Most of the questions put to him were interesting and intelligent. I took notes, so I can elaborate if anyone is interested.

Random ballet anecdote: I went to see NYCB on Friday; during the intermission I was sitting on one of the benches outside the orchestra, munching on a Milka chocolate bar (a gift from a coworker) I had this sensation that someone was staring at me; I could feel someone's eyes boring into me. I glanced to my left and the starer was none other than Joaquin De Luz. However, it was not me he was staring at, but the chocolate bar - he seemed riveted! Without thinking, I held it out to him and said, "want a piece?" He seemed to come out of a reverie, mumbled, "No! No thanks, I am on a diet!" and rushed away.
I am going to see ABT take company class on Oct 20th. Info here, if anyone would like to join me:
OK, tonight I am off to Fall for Dance; I am really looking forward to Ballet West and Paquita. Going tomorrow night also; I could not resist the idea of the all-male Hawaiian dance group - the promo picture shows grass skirts. I am ready for voids.
Went last week too; saw Jared Grimes Transformations in Tap. I'm a sucker for tap, so really enjoyed that. Next up was Fang-Yi Sheu & Artists - Five Movements, Three Repeats. Guest artists were Tyler Angle, Craig Hall and Wendy Whelan of NYCB. It had its moments, but it also had some rough spots. Next up was Nederlands Dans Theater doing Shutters Shut with Astrid Boons and Quentin Roger. This was THE highlight of the evening. The program describes it as a 'short study of the poem written and read by Gertrude Stein: "If I told him: A completed portrait of Picasso" (1912).' No teknik me thought this was outstanding. Last on the bill was BalletBoyz doing Void; I so wanted to love them. They should have been able to bring down the house, but they didn't. Not sure what was wrong, but it just didn't work and the audience was underwhelmed.
Look what I found! Dunno why he was wearing his jammies, but Jose looks divine in anything.
Is anyone from NYC seeing any ballet next week? I've got NYCB on the 14th, and ABT on the 17th and the 18th.
Not NYC, but the Australians sure do bring the pretty:
"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
I received ABT's Spring season brochure in the mail this afternoon. They want me to renew my subscription, even though I did not renew it last year. And I won't subscribe in 2013, either. The entire season looks like a big snooze. The only thing I'm planning to see is Swan Lake, and that's because my handsome guy Alex will be making his debut. Not because I want to see ABT's dreadful production again.
Is anyone seeing ABT at City Center this week? I will be there Wed and Thurs.
Wish I could go to ABT this week, but I can't. I wanted to see tomorrow night's program, but I have Santa Fe-Aspen at the Joyce and I wanted to go to Friday's matinee, but I have to work that day, so no ABT for me. At least I'm seeing something this week, even if, as I suspect, it won't be very good.
However, Marge, aren't you doing RDB next Monday with me?
Yup! I have 2 weeks off so I'm doing a bit of a "staycation"
ABT on the 17th and 18th, plus I am seeing them take class on the 20th.
RDB on the 22nd, and Ballet Next on the 24th.
Plus some other demented activities.
Let me know if you want to do dinner.

A Mendota Heights police officer was shot in the head and killed during a traffic stop Wednesday
As the officer spoke with the driver he pulled over, a pickup came within inches of side-swiping him before grinding to a halt
Deputies were called to the residence for a domestic dispute when gunfire was exchanged with one person
More often than not, the driver is fleeing because he has something to hide — intoxication, narcotics, warrants, and other criminal activity


text: Loved the BOA lacing. Releases easily after a day on the course and can't come untied. I don't generally like to order shoes online as one foot is larger than the other, but after trying on many at a local store, found I really needed a wide which no one stocks. My old shoes gave out after 16 years and needed a replacement, since BOA has a lifetime warranty, I hope they last as long as my last shoes. They arrived as promised and were very comfortable. My husband is envious of the BOA system and may order a pair for himself! If so, I'll definitely order from Global Golf.

All the girls in this are pretty. The last two, Cherry Chase and Anastasia Blue, were my favorites. Alysin Chaynes is in all her glory here. I don't care for watching the girls pee, but that's what FF is for. The one downer to this series is how many hot girls don't go on to have long careers. Cherry Chase should have been a major star.
Every woman in this was attractive and into it except one. The last scene a couple is joined by another woman who takes anal, but is clearly tense about it. The rest of the action is well worth seeing. The peeing was odd but thankfully only lasts seconds and isn't a big distraction. Rent this.
There are four sex scenes, and three of them feature Cherry Mirage, the girl on the cover. With her creamy skin, long brown hair and big blue eyes, you would never think she was a porn star, which is exactly my type. Her natural D cups, curvy thighs and high enthusiasm make every scene of hers worth watching. She does a black guy, a girl, and finally Chris Cannon. The only reason it only gets 3 stars is that none of the scenes are especially long by today's standards. 10-15 minutes isn't nearly long enough, especially with no real tease to speak of before the action starts. Still, Cherry is one of the hottest ever and this is well worth a rental.
How could an edition of Barely Legal be boring? This one is, and I should have listened to the other reviewers. The sound quality is awful, picture decent. Adriana Sage is the only reason this gets 2 stars. The women simply weren't motivated at all. They were very pretty but very disinterested. And what's with all the peeing? This is a bad fetish film. Avoid.
I was very pleasantly surprised at how sharp the picture is despite the age of this film. It looks like it could have been shot this year. Most impressive are the scenes with Sydney Steele and the one with Sana Fey, which I watched three times. Nice settings and music, lingerie that accentuates the women's beauty, a great cast, this really has it all. For whatever grief the old style of porn gets for being cheesy, this is the classy and even elegant side I miss when watching the plotless gonzo films of today. The only downside is that the scenes are fairly short by today's standards, averaging no more than ten minutes each. They're full scenes, but I was left wanting more. Still, that's always a sign of quality.
It's one scene about 80 minutes long. They take time to let the "customers" in the porn shop scope her out and she teases them at first. Then the action starts. The camera work was outstanding, centering on Daniella the entire time. The picture quality is great for a film from 1999. The pacing is excellent, with guys taking turns. BJ's at first, then intercourse with BJ's, then anal, then DP's. Then she kneels so each guy can finish with a facial, one at a time. No verbal abuse, dumb remarks were few and harmless. Daniella Rush has a perfect face and body and was eager all the way. This is outstanding and I'm going to buy it.
When you watch an older Barely Legal title, the really hot girls fall into one of two categories: ones who have since become stars, and ones who didn't and you wish would have been in the business longer.
None of the girls here fit the first type, but one fits the second. Angel, the Latina with curly dark hair on the back cover, is amazing. She's gorgeous head to toe, all natural, and seems very eager and performs well. I wasted a lot of time scavenging for more of her but very little turned up (just look how many matches the name "Angel" yields, always have a full name girls!). The roughly ten minutes of sex here will have to do. Sometimes I wonder how some of these girls aren't offered big deals to keep them around.
The rest of the girls here are decent enough but no one you'll remember a couple days after watching.
This is one of those pornos where nothing is overtly bad, but the next day you won't remember anything you saw. There's not even that one redeeming scene here. In the lesbian scene the girl can be heard saying "Is that enough?" to the director as she pulls off of her partner's muff. Can't believe Hustler would let that on the dvd. She also flubbed her line that triggers the sex. There's far better out there.
When you only count the striptease and sex, the scenes average about 12 minutes each. That's just too little action for me. The women are beautiful and the picture and sound are good, but this series is far too mechanical.
This whole thing is around 95 minutes long, and one scene is also on the much better "Look What Happened to Chloe" compilation. What's here is decent but nothing great. Some of the scenes are surprisingly short and I just wasn't into it. For her absolute best work rent the feature "Unreal". It's one of my all time favorites and showcases her talent much better than this.
