Last night, Hockett Hall filled with the sounds of the medieval, the baroque and the 20th century all at once with Ithaca College's rendition of Carmina Burana, bringing the audience to their feet in the end.
I met with producer, Phil Wilde, after the show to gather his feelings on the concert.
The goal of the concert was to reinvent Carmina Burana. The producers accomplished this goal by incorporating visuals. In addition, the typically choral concert was done entirely by instruments, other than a few sung pieces.
"It took months of production," said Phil with an exhausted, but proud look.
The material ties perfectly into FLEFF's theme of Mobilities . The concert was able to tie in the movement of people, passions and environments with the use of the visual and harmonic.
Phil described the connection: "We took material from the 11th and 12th century and reimagined it in 2013 in a totally new way."
Although the concert is over, FLEFF certainly is not. Many more concerts and films are to come in the next few days. In the words of Phil, "It's just the beginning."
Did you make it to Carmina Burana last night? Which was your favorite piece?

Just as one of the busiest weeks of my life draws to a close, another busy, exciting week is just getting started.
Of course, I am talking about FLEFF.
It's an exciting, fun filled week packed with various lectures, films, musical performances, multimedia presentations and guests. How am I going to make it to everything while still keeping up with the essentials like eating and sleeping? Sleep isn't essential, that can hold off for a bit.
But not in vain! No, of all the events I plan on attending, these three are keeping my excitement levels to a maximum. Make sure to check them out!
#1 GRRR: Love and Revolution- Riot Girl NYC and I Dream of Mummers (Monday, April 1, 4:00-5:15, Park 285). I can't help but agree with what fellow intern Kim wrote in her previous post. I too consider myself to be an up and coming feminist. Whether is is coming to college and constantly being exposed to different view points, being involved in FLEFF and witnessing art and media from around the world, or taking classes from FLEFF co-director Patricia Zimmermann, discrepancies between male and female privileges has been increasingly brought to my attention. Seeing this film which discusses issues such as rape, domestic abuse, sexuality, racism and female empowerment via rare, archival footage will only increase my knowledge and give me more perspective.
#2 White Scripts and Black Supermen (Wednesday, April 3, 4:00-6:30, Park 285). Along the same vein, this film intrigues me because it promises to ignite conversation about a social injustice that most people don't think twice about: this being racism and how it is portrayed in the media. I love comic books and superhero movies as much as the next person. But when I think about the last superhero film I watched, (I'm going to say The Avengers,) only Samuel Jackson's Nick Fury comes to mind. I am intrigued to learn about this topic that I have never given much thought to and to engage in conversation about what I learned.
#3 Carmina Burana (Tuesday, April 2, 8:15pm, Hockett Recital Hall, Whalen Center for Music). It may have not been in The Avengers, but the cantata's opening piece O Fortuna has been featured in countless other action films as well as football games! After a month or so of listening to the piece, I can assure you that there will be nothing like watching it performed live before your eyes. Music has a way of bringing people from all different backgrounds together. Sitting it a room with, experiencing this epic, dynamic, and sometimes downright hauntingly beautiful piece of music is guaranteed to bring people together. Either that or we'll all be pitching in on ear plugs to somewhat dull the mighty blast that will come from the 16 piece trombone troupe. (!!!)
Are you excited about FLEFF yet? What a silly question, of course you are! See you there. Which event are you most looking forward to?

I've never been to a film festival.
This news might be surprising to some, especially since I'm currently interning for a film festival, but I am a complete newbie in the festival scene.
But, if there's one thing I know about film festivals, it's that they're about films. Duh, right?
In addition to showing films I've learned that festivals, specifically the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival, feature a lot of other things. This year's festival will be bringing in an amazing array of films, guests (like directors, producers, distributors, scholars, etc.), new media artists, and music.
Wait a minute, music at a film festival?
That's right!
On Tuesday, April 2nd, the Whalen Center for Music will be hosting FLEFF's Mobilities concert: Carl Orff's legendary Carmina Burana, performed by musicians from Ithaca and around the world.
Don't be fooled by the name of the cantata; Carmina Burana is a widely recognized piece of music, and you've probably heard it before. The piece's opening movement, O Fortuna, has been used in hundreds of soundscapes, including scenes in action movies and between plays on Monday Night Football.
The movement can be found on YouTube here, and for Ithaca College students, the cantata can be listened to in its entirety on the Naxos Music Library. I recommend that everyone listen to it at least once before the live performance,
I've gotten into the habit of listening to Carmina Burana while I do my homework and, let me tell you, I've never felt so empowered while sitting alone in a room.
Each of the movements in Carmina Burana is incredibly varied: not only within the piece, but also in and of itself. Loud, powerful choruses layered with drums and pianos (you read that right, multiple pianos!) follow haunting solos, which, in turn, follow soft instrumentals.
The piece is truly unpredictable and incredibly exciting to listen to – and that's just through my cheap headphones. I can't imagine how the piece will sound live.
The free performance will fill up quickly so make sure you get down to the Hockett Recital Hall at the Whalen Center for Music early on April 2nd. Don't miss out on your opportunity to see a very unique performance of this legendary piece. The concert starts at 8:15 pm.
Until then, take a listen to Carmina Burana! How does it make you feel?

Blog posting written by Andrew Ronald, Film, Photography & Visual Arts '15, FLEFF Social Media Manager, Mahopac, New York
You might have heard it while watching the climax to an action-packed movie. You might have heard it in an elegant concert hall. You might have even heard it on The X Factor.
It's intense. It's powerful. And it will move you.
This is the music of Carmina Burana.
Seamless integration between sporadic bursts of energy, rhythm, and triumph, strung together by a haunting echo in the background define this style of music. And despite how startlingly demonic the music may sound, underneath it all, there is something still enchantingly reassuring about it.
Looking up to the lyrics to one of the more popular, well-known songs "O Fortuna," reassured me of this feeling. "…hateful life first oppresses, and then soothes as fancy takes it poverty and power, it melts them like ice." The music isn't meant to be malicious or intimidating...it's meant to be didactic. There's an enlightening truth behind the cyclical nature that defines fate. Carmina Burana's music is meant to serve as a vehicle for this message.
You can hear the music for yourself on Tuesday, April 2 at FLEFF's Concert featuring these particular pieces performed live at the Whalen Center for Music.
What do you interpret after hearing this music?

Blog post written by Kristen Tomkowid, Journalism '15, FLEFF Intern, Poughkeepsie, New York
Nicholas DiEugenio is an assistant professor in the IC School of Music with specialties in violin and chamber music. At this year's festival, Carmina Burana will be performed by local musicians. DiEugenio talked about his involvement with this performance.
Kristen Tomkowid: How did you become a part of FLEFF?
Nicholas DiEugenio: I'm extremely privileged to live in Ithaca and to teach violin at the IC School of Music. One of my colleagues, Deborah Martin, is organizing this year's FLEFF performance of Carmina Burana, and she asked if I would be interested in participating. Of course I was glad to accept the offer!
KT: Have you ever performed Carmina Burana before? If yes, where/when?
ND: I have never been a part of a performance of this work before. However, even if I had, I would not have done anything like what I am doing in this particular performance. Since we will be using many instruments to cover vocal parts (both solo parts and choral parts), I will actually be playing my violin in an attempt to evoke a soprano soloist in two specific moments in the cantata. This is kind of like the reverse of a "pants" role, which might seem rare, though I do get to do this quite often as a violinist! I wonder if it is the first time that this type of musical impersonation has ever been done with Carmina Burana.
KT: What is your favorite part of the piece and why?
ND: I'm not sure that I have a "favorite part" of the piece, but I think my favorite aspect of this piece is its original conception. It was designed to be a piece of music to go with visual movement. It's often performed as a concert cantata, but its birth as a piece of multimedia art gives it a tremendous adaptability, and creative directors can take it in many different directions. It's no wonder that this quality has been exploited over the years in commercial advertising--my brain always associates the opening of Carmina Burana with a desire to join the Marines, and I wonder why! So, the music has this "empty vessel" quality which is actually quite potent when combined with strong visual imagery, and I think that is what I appreciate most about this piece.
KT: What do you want people to take away from the performance?
ND: Hopefully this performance will be memorable for all of its musical innovation (down-scaling to two pianos, using instrumentalists to cover vocal parts, using the Trombone Troupe to cover chorus parts!), and for its powerful visual imagery in conjunction with the music. These aspects will make the performance unique, and hopefully any person in attendance will enjoy and remember a unique artistic experience which crosses boundaries and blends many senses.
KT: Are you going to see anything else FLEFF is doing? If yes, what are you most excited for?
ND: There are a few films programmed at the Ithaca Cinemapolis that are of particular interest to me; since I've recently traveled to both Russia and China to perform, I am interested to see China Concerto, Lost Boys, and No Problem. I'm also really interested in October, a silent movie for which the Cloud Chamber Orchestra will provide live music.
Will we see you at Carmina Burana?

Gruonet der walt allenthalben! The woods are turning green all over!
Or hopefully they will soon, anyway. As the snow melts and spring here in Ithaca dances towards us, I can't help but get excited for the warm weather and the great events that come with it. For me, spring means that FLEFF is nearly here! During the long winter months, I've had time to reflect upon a musical masterpiece that will be featured in FLEFF this year: Carmina Burana. On Tuesday, April 2, a selection of virtuosos (including not one, but two pianists as well as a 16-piece trombone troop) will perform the cantata live at the Whalen Center for Music. Being a nature enthusiast who loves spring, I am particularly looking forward to the live performance of the seventh movement of the piece: Floret Silva, or The Forest Flowers.
The movement opens in grandiose form, saluting the burgeoning 'noble woods' with a thick array of voices. A musical landscape is painted where the woods are green and welcoming. However, the movement includes frequent decrescendos that hint at something unsettling - a changed, missing lover. Soft, high voices such as flutes and strings make one ponder "uni est antiquus meus amicus?" or "where is the lover I knew?" The slow reverence snaps into a quick tempo that reminds us again of the nature around us. Short staccato string voices almost seem like little bounding deer in our lively woods. Our lover may be missing, but we have enough nature for company!
I can't wait to hear how this movement will be represented in the live performance. What are you looking forward to this spring?

I was doing homework in my dorm, listening to Carmina Burana and, all of a sudden I started to feel uneasy. I didn't know why. I lifted my foot that was dangling off the bed and tucked it under me, preventing the monster from my childhood from snatching my foot and dragging me under the bed for a snack. I felt like something was creeping up on me. I looked behind me, nothing there. What was this feeling? I looked to my door expecting someone to barge in. Nothing. Why was I feeling like this? Then the cymbals crashed and thousands of men on horse charged into my room!
Ok, that part did actually happen but if Carmina Burana can evoke that powerful of a feeling in me through the weak speakers of my computer just imagine what it can do to an audience member during a live concert!
Carmina Burana is an exciting and dangerous sounding piece of music that evokes all types of emotions in it's listeners. Written by Carl Orff and based on poems and dramatic texts written by medieval student vagabonds were fed up with the Catholic Church and spoke out against all authority! You can feel their angst, anger, sweat and tears as tiptoed around Fate and his games. Come with them on their journey to climb to the highest heights and swim to the deepest depths. You won't be disappointed.
If you are a music fanatic or just someone who appreciates good music, the Carmina Burana concert is the FLEFF event for you! Featuring sixteen trombones, a baritone singer, a flautist, and a violinist, this is going to be arguably the most adventure filled night at FLEFF!
How can this be? Classical music isn't fun…or is it? What has been your experience with classical music in the past?

I both love and hate scary movies. Call me a masochist, but I find fun in jumping out of my chair and squealing at the top of my lungs. However, the nights following my viewing of a scary movie are not so enjoyable.
Last night, I listened to Carmina Burana right before bed, which proved to be a less than intelligent decision. As the first song, O Fortuna, played through my computer, I grew increasingly uneasy. I felt myself return to the same fear in the nights after I watched The Exorcist.
My skin clammed up from being tightly cocooned in my comforter. My refrigerator suddenly emitted demon noises. Ghostly shapes kept popping up in my closet, later to be revealed as sweaters.
To calm my nerves, I looked up more on the meaning of O Fortuna. The translation of the last line reads, "Fate strikes down the strong man. Everyone weep with me!" After seeing this, my fear suddenly subsided. Instead, I was sad.
The song wasn't about demons or ghosts at all. The lyrics simply follow this poor man's terrible bout of ill fate and misfortune. With this revelation, I continued with my listening and researching of Carmina Burana. My anticipation for the concert during FLEFF in a month grew more than ever before.

Blog posting written by Chloe Wilson, Television-Radio '14, FLEFF Intern, Ashland, Massachusetts.
This isn't your typical "wheel of fortune."
One of the major events of FLEFF's programming is the performance of Carmina Burana - a cantata that consists of medieval poetry (written in Latin) set to music composed in the later 1930s. If you haven't heard it, I definitely recommend listening to it - it's a moving set of pieces (you've probably heard parts of it before) that are powerful and beautiful to listen to.
As somebody who has a background in classical music, I always enjoy getting the chance to explore new pieces of music. When I sat down to listen to Carmina Burana, I was surprised with how familiar I already was with some of the music. "O Fortuna!" is probably the most recognizable piece from the cantata.
I loved all of the music, but what I find most interesting about Carmina Burana is the symbolism behind the piece. Carmina Burana is about the Wheel of Fortune - a medieval, philosophical concept that shows the cycle of life as a wheel. At one moment, a person may be at the top. At another, a person may be at the bottom.
This is reflected prominently in the music with how the melodies and volumes change throughout Carmina Burana. I found the cantata to be easy to listen to because of this, and it's a piece that definitely consumes your attention.
You can listen to the full cantata here, and I definitely recommend doing so.
I'm excited for the FLEFF performance because instead of a full chorus, there will be brass instruments - like saxophones and trombones. Have you listened to Carmina Burana yet?

Joy to bitterness. Hope to grief. FLEFF's exclusive Carmina Burana show premiers Tuesday, April 2nd and the performers, Ithaca College's Brad Hougham and Deborah Martin, are hard at work planning the event, continuing to tweak the 25 song setlist and choreograph the many trombonists that will accompany this performance. Tonight, they gave interns a discussion on the poems and a preview of the music.
Written between the 11th and 12th Century, Carmina Burana is a collection of over 250 manuscripts from students and clergy; sexual, satirical, and full of youthful mischief. These poems explore the human reality of lust, pleasure, and pain of Western European youth. Infused with Monteverdi, Canto Gregoriano and Stravinsky, this musical contata is a unique experience.
FLEFF will be inviting Jairo Geronymo back for a two-piano performance, this time accompanied by violins, percussions and flutes; a diversified look at music and emotion. FLEFF interns will also be creating new media art for projection during the performances. This will be a show like no other, stay tuned for more updates!
What are you looking forward to most?

THE MINGO BAY Classic is played on 11 fields in and around Myrtle Beach. George Washington is the first area team to play, facing Reagan (N.C.) at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
That's not necessarily a good thing, said GW Coach Chad Campbell said.
"It's not supposed to be that warm there," said Campbell, whose team is 6-1. "I don't think we'll be able to go to the beach."
Among the Patriots' opponents in pool play is Horseheads, N.Y. The Blue Raiders' ace is Dylan Manwaring, the son of former San Francisco Giants' star Kirt Manwaring.
Dylan Manwaring is headed to Wake Forest, the school that recruited former Hurricane High School star Sam Kmiec, who eventually transferred to Winthrop.
* * *
THE MAN behind the Mingo Bay madness is former Buffalo High School and West Virginia State player Tim Christy, which explains the connection with the Kanawha Valley.
The tournament features pool play through Thursday with bracket play set for Friday and Saturday.
The Valley teams competing are Buffalo, Capital, Charleston Catholic, George Washington, Hurricane, St. Albans and South Charleston.

As the first five days of early voting came to a close, Texas Secretary of State Hope Andrade visited election sites across the state to praise the high turnout during early voting. Andrade stopped in Bexar County on Friday as election monitors from Europe are being threatened by the state's attorney general.
The two election observers visiting the state are from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
Bexar County has inked a deal that will give residents a discount on prescription drugs and add funds to another county health program.
The Coast-2-Coast RX Card is free to anyone, and Martin Dettelbach of Financial Marketing Concepts Inc., said it's similar to other prescription discount cards. He said his company has worked out agreements with pharmaceutical companies based on volume.
It's still nearly a year before the Mission Reach is completed, but a new stretch is now open to the public. The San Antonio River Authority and Bexar County have added an additional 1.5 mile loop near Theo Avenue and a hike and bike bridge over Concepciόn Creek.
SARA General Manager Suzanne Scott said the $3.5 million restoration of this section of the river will include the planting of new trees.
The last day to register to vote is Tuesday, October 9th. Bexar County Elections Administrator Jackie Callanen says the date is extended because of the Monday holiday, and she's optimistic that a few extra people might register before the deadline.
"When we had the primary election, here in Bexar County we had 875,000 people registered to vote," said Callanen. "Today when I looked at the numbers, we had 898,000. So we're increasing by about 1,000 or 1,500 a day from the applications that we have."
The Justice of the Peace in Precinct 3 has been a part-time position for 30 years, through all of Judge Keith Baker's tenure while he maintained a separate law practice. After a recent audit showed 10,000 warrants have been in limbo in his court since January, Judge Baker announced he will retire at the end of this year.
First, District Attorney Susan Reed got the word out that all of those warrants will be served within the next two weeks.
If ChildSafe operated completely on heart and soul, this organization would be rich, but money keeps this non-profit alive, and allows them to help local children.
"If we have to cut our budget, that means we have to serve less children, and we're already not serving enough children," said ChildSafe San Antonio CEO Kim Abernethy.
With population shifts revealed by the latest census numbers, it was time to re-draw city council districts. David Mendez is the man charged with drawing the new boundaries and making sure everyone has equal representation in San Antonio. The race for Bexar County Sheriff features Democrat incumbent Amadeo Ortiz and Republican Retired Air Force General Susan Pamerleau.
The histories of San Antonio, and those of Texas, are illuminated in stories contained in legal documents of county courthouses around the state.
Bexar County Clerk Gerry Rickhoff is working to preserve aging, fragile documents found in the Bexar County Courthouse, and to retrieve about 70,000 documents dating back to 1717, which were given to the University of Texas by a Bexar County Commissioners Court over 100 years ago.

Getting the job done in challenging conditions (Maintenance 2)
Christoph Winkelmann, Line Maintenance Engineer
After working for SR Technics Switzerland for the past 13 years, I was one of the engineers who were transferred to SWISS maintenance as part of the Manumea project, which took place last April. I enjoy working for an airline, knowing that the airplanes I am working on are actually the company's that I am actually employed at and not just the belongings of a customer. We are responsible for keeping the aircraft airworthy and fit to fly - all the time. Another advantage of my employment at SWISS is that I benefit from reduced travel fares, which allows me to pursue my hobby – kitesurfing - with great passion.
The SWISS Line Maintenance in ZRH performs Daily & Weekly checks for the entire SWISS fleet (there are about 160 daily departures outbound from ZRH). Sometimes it is very challenging to finish a job in time because the aircraft are on ground for only a very short time. When the aircraft arrives or shortly before it departs again, it can happen that the crew reports a defect which needs immediate repair. If a technical problem occurs during the flight, the cockpit crew can to contact the maintenance control center via radio to ask for advice about what would be best to do. Finally, the defect will be taken care of by our qualified team of SWISS engineers as soon as the aircraft is back in the parking position. What really keeps me going is the fact that after some hectic moments I can release the aircraft back into service, knowing that all is well with the airplane.
During my career as an aircraft engineer, I also had the opportunity to spend six months abroad in Bahrain, where our team had to perform the repairs and maintenance checks of the aircraft under very difficult circumstances. The outside temperature, for example, was around 40 – 50 degrees and also the communication was very tricky at some points. Sometimes we even had to perform maintenance work outdoors on the tarmac during sand storms when the hangar was closed for maintenance.
In case you are also interested in becoming a qualified aircraft engineer, it takes several years to learn the trade. First of all you need a basic mechanical education, followed by basic modules which are taught by an approved EASA Part-147 organization. Once you have all the required modules according to the license level you are applying for, your papers will be submitted to the national authorities. You then have the chance to integrate individual type ratings (aircraft type) into your license. With the relevant authorization from the company, you are then allowed to perform maintenance work.
Looking to the future, I am excited at the prospect of being trained on SWISS's new aircraft type, the Bombardier CSeries, whose operational launch is foreseen for 2014.

In January I joined Christoph to carry out a daily check on the turnaround of JHK prior to its departure for ORD. It was a fasinating and very interesting insight into one small part of the line enginners duties - can't wait to join them again on the short-haul fleet

A "beach" music favorite, Atlanta's Tams were among the more popular up-tempo soul groups of the '60s, although they were never able to break Motown's pop stranglehold. Joseph Pope's gravelly voiced leads were their selling point. He was joined by his brother Charles, Robert Smith, Floyd Ashton, and Horace Key. They began on Swan in 1960, then landed their first hit with "Untie Me" for Arlen in 1962. It peaked at number 12 on the R&B charts (number 11 pop). They moved to ABC-Paramount the next year, where they remained until 1968. They scored their biggest hit in 1963 with "What Kind of Fool (Do You Think I Am)." But many soul fans regard 1968's "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy" as their ultimate hit, although it only reached number 26 on the R&B charts. ~ Ron Wynn

Sr. Fellow Lawrence McQuillan was a guest on the Jason Lewis radio show. He discussed the economics and history of totalitarianism vs capitalism in terms of policies such as higher taxes for corporations, farm subsidies, price and rent controls and endless money supply and how history can show us which of these stifle prosperity. Private property and individualism are the foundations of freedom, argues McQuillan.

Easy ways to get whiter teeth
Published On: Sep 26 2013 10:23:41 AM CDT

Updated On: Oct 08 2013 04:13:26 PM CDT
Want whiter teeth? If your pearly whites are dulled by surface stains, a whitening toothpaste may help lighten your teeth slightly.
A whitening toothpaste can't change the natural color of your teeth, however.
For more noticeable results, ask your dentist about tooth-whitening bleaches.

The number of distinct versions of Windows one can choose from has become a sort of running joke. Between Home, Basic, Premium, Ultimate, and all the rest, it's enough to drive a person to buying a Mac instead. Microsoft has at last addressed the problem, and the upcoming Windows 8 will have only three flavors to choose from. (Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBCUniversal.)
They're refreshingly easy to wrap your mind around:
This post at the Windows Team Blog goes over the specific differences between the versions. People upgrading from Windows 7 will want to get the vanilla version, and businesses know they need Pro. RT will mostly be made available already installed on devices, the way your phone or tablet comes with everything already installed, so it barely even counts as an option.
Rumors had propagated following the release of the Windows 8 consumer preview that there would be as many as nine versions, from "Home Basic" to "Professional Plus," and many were understandably upset at this. But fortunately, that information turns out to have been mistaken -- or perhaps Microsoft saw the reaction and decided to rein in the number of offerings a bit.
The coming months should bring pricing and release date information, but you can try out the OS if you want by downloading the consumer preview here.

The Associated Press
PHOENIX — Jurors deciding whether convicted murderer Jodi Arias will get the death penalty heard the victim's brother describe Thursday how he was hospitalized for ulcers, lost sleep and separated from his wife after his brother was killed.
Steven Alexander, brother of murder victim Travis Alexander, looks back towards Jodi Arias as he reads a statement to the jury Thursday during the penalty phase of the Jodi Arias trial at Maricopa County Superior Court in Phoenix.
The Associated Press
Jodi Arias cries as she listens to Steven Alexander, brother of murder victim Travis Alexander, speak to the jury Thursday during the penalty phase of her trial at Maricopa County Superior Court in Phoenix.
The Associated Press
Travis Alexander's younger brother Steven paused to choke back tears and regain his composure as he recounted the phone call he got from his sister the day his brother's body was found.
"She told me, 'Steven, Travis is dead,'" he said. "I thought I was dreaming."
The same jury convicted Arias of first-degree murder last week after about 15 hours of deliberations. During the trial's ongoing final penalty phase, the panel will decide whether to sentence Arias to life in prison or death for the 2008 murder of her one-time lover.
Arias cried periodically during the testimony and looked away from jurors.
"The nature of my brother's murder has had a major impact on me. It's even invaded my dreams," Steven Alexander testified. "I've had nightmares about somebody coming after me with a knife, then going after my wife and my daughter.
"I don't want these nightmares anymore. I don't want to see my brother's murderer anymore."
In opening statements, prosecutor Juan Martinez said there are no mitigating factors that should cause the jury to even consider a sentence other than death. The judge had instructed jurors that they could take into account certain things that might help them make a decision, such as Arias' lack of a prior criminal record and assertions that she was a good friend, had an abusive childhood and is a talented artist.
Martinez said none of that matters in regard to the brutal killing.
"The only appropriate sentence ... is death."
Defense attorney Kirk Nurmi opened his part by explaining to jurors that their decision ultimately would be the final one.
"Your verdict, ladies and gentleman, will determine whether or not Jodi Arias spends the rest of her life in prison or if she is sentenced to be executed," Nurmi said.
He then told the panel they would later hear directly from Arias.
"When you understand who Ms. Arias is, you will understand that life is the appropriate sentence," Nurmi said.
Alexander's sister Samantha later described for the panel how their grandmother, who raised the victim, saw her health fail after the killing and died around the time of jury selection.
"Travis was the glue in our family," Samantha Alexander said. She also recalled her brother's charisma, sense of humor, insight and "huge smile."
"Travis was our strength, our beacon of hope, our motivation," she said through tears. "Our lives will never be the same. ... We would give anything to have him back."
Steven Alexander recalled seeing his brother for the last time over the Christmas holiday in 2007. "Now when I want to talk to or see my brother, I have to go to a ... 6-foot-deep hole in the ground," he said.
The trial was inexplicably delayed Thursday afternoon after the judge and attorneys met privately. It is set to resume Monday morning when other witnesses will include Arias' friends and an ex-boyfriend who lived with her for several years in California.
Earlier this week, Arias' attorneys asked to be allowed to step down from the case, but a judge denied the request.
Details about the motion were sealed, but legal experts said Arias complicated efforts for her defense when she gave an interview to Fox affiliate KSAZ minutes after her conviction, saying she preferred death over life in prison.

Oh -- You Wanted To See My Birthday Cake?
In case you haven't seen it because you're not a fan of Geekologie on Facebook (and therefore missing out on all the important life-lessons I have to bestow), this was my 29th birthday cake. It's a dinosaur. Specifically, it's a sugar cookie dinosaur. Atop an ice cream cake. What kind of ice cream cake? Hold on to your tits!
Hershey's chocolate cake and icing with Dreyer's Somoa Girl Scout Cookie ice cream and enough chocolate cracklins to choke a velociraptor.
Yes, yes I did just quote myself. And you know what? It felt awesome. Like the feeling right after you throw up to make room for more booze. The cake was crafted by my special lady-friend and just goes to show that, if you really put your mind to it, even you can find a girl who'll spend two days making a themed ice-cream cake while you sit around playing Red Dead Redemption and drinking. Except yours'll have a penis. Hoho, can't win em all!
Since it's my birthday and I can do whatever I want, I'm continuing with the celebratory theme with this $7 Wishosaurus candle holder from Fred. It's a plastic molded dinosaur that can hold up to ten candles. So, for my cake, I'm gonna need three. On top of each other. KISS... / Continue →

Well folks, we survived another year. Amazing, I know. It's been one hell of a time, and I have every reason to believe 2009 is going to rock the track pants and Members Only jacket off 2008. Happy New Year! See you in 2020! And by 2020 I mean after my Lasik surgery. HI... / Continue →

Saturday Game Notes
Saturday afternoon was a good day to horse around for a little while. What? Well, we spent much of the afternoon at Canterbury Park, watching probably five or six horse races. That is so much fun. I can see where it could be addictive. Here's how smart I am. Pretty much, just pick the horse with the coolest name. And of course, we left early, but we had to get home in time to watch The Belmont, to see if Big Brown could finish off the Triple Crown. He was a 1-4 favorite. No other horse was better than a 7-1 underdog. Da' Tara, the horse that won, was a 38-1 underdog. Check this information out from the Canterbury daily program.
Some wagering considerations:
The show pool in this race will see a vast majority of its dollars wagered on BIG BROWN. Many people will place large wagers on the star to show, as the minimum payout in the pool is $2.10 on a $2.00 wager. While it's not a gaudy mutuel, how many institutions offer a 5% return on your investment in less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds? Try getting that in the stock market. The obvious downside to this strategy is the BIG BROWN could run off the board. This is extremely unlikely, but it's always a inherent risk.
So, when BIG BROWN became the first Triple Crown contender to finish dead last in The Belmont, I am guessing a lot of people lost a lot of money. Think about it. If someone invested $100,000 on BIG BROWN to Show, they were hoping to come away with $105,000 a few minutes later... it was a sure thing... so, when BIG BROWN finished last, there goes $100,000. Oops!
To the baseball...

Twins Minor League Updates
Saturday SethSpeaks Player of the Day – Chris Parmelee, Beloit Snappers
Saturday SethSpeaks Pitcher of the Day – Cole DeVries, Ft. Myers Miracle
Be sure to check out LaVelle's excellent minor league update at the Star-Tribune. It talks a lot about just how good the prospects at Ft. Myers are and how well the team is playing. It also talks about when the Twins will be promoting some players. No surprise, and really, it just makes sense.
Also, be sure to check out Roger's Weekly Minor League Update.
Saturday –
Rochester 2, Lehigh Valley 8 –
Danny Graves is still starting for the Red Wings. In this game, he gave
up just three runs on seven hits and four walks in just four innings. Julio

innings. Jose Morales led the offense by going 2-3 with a walk and his

Lis, aka "Doubles Machine" had two more doubles in four at bats. He now has
23 on the season. Matt Moses went 3-3. Brock Peterson went 2-4.
Kyle Aselton made a spot start and actually was better than I would have
expected based on what he has done out of the bullpen. He gave up three runs on
three hits in four innings. Most notably he didn't walk any. Armando Gabino
then threw three shutout innings, striking out three. Ben Julianel struck
out three in the 8th inning.
Saturday – Ft. Myers 2, Brevard County 0

MONTPELIER — Proponents of a plan that will allow Vermont doctors to prescribe lethal medications to terminally ill patients says the implementation of the new law will trigger a broad range of improvements in end-of-life medical care.
Dick Walters of the group End of Life Choices says he doesn't think the law Gov. Peter Shumlin is due to sign Monday will cause many people to take advantage of it.
The legislation will take effect as soon as Shumlin signs the bill, less than a week after the Vermont House gave it final passage.
Waters says his organization, which worked to help pass the legislation, will shift to helping to implement the law.
The group has formed a transition team to provide support for groups that will be implementing the law.MORE IN This Just InBy Brent Curtis Full StoryWhen Leland Kinsey long deemed the unofficial poet laureate of the Northeast Kingdom ...

I got this tote and the matching cosmetic bag for all my maids. I got them on sale so I couldn't resist grabbing one for myself too. I am very pleased with the way they turned out. I would have liked if there were more color choices but the overall look for the pink and brown ones I got is great. I really like the way the pink bag with the outter stich of bright pink and light pink inner stich turned out. The brown bags also look great with the all light pink writing and the green writing. I got purple and red stiching as well because those are my other maids favorite colors but prefer the way the other accent colors turned. The pink tote and pink cosmetic bag are both exactly the same color but the brown ones are a shade or two off from each other. You can notice it but it doesn't look bad. Overall, very happy with product and I can't wait to give them to my ladies.

I was actually rather disappointed when I received this product.The major problem I had with this bag is that there is absolutely NO support in the bottom. In other words, if you put ANYTHING besides sheets of paper inside this bag, the bottom sags. The whole reason I liked this bag was for the size and shape, and both are lost when the bag is used to carry something slightly heavy. I'm not even talking books--this thing sagged when I put my wallet, hairbrush, and cell-phone inside. I wish that there was at least a piece of plastic in the bottom (like you have in most eco-friendly grocery bags). I bought one of these bags as a trial-run, to see it in person before I purchased them for my bridesmaids. I am GLAD I did, because I will DEFINITELY NOT be doing so after seeing/attempting to use this product.

About Me Bride
Comments about The Knot Colorblock Tote:
These came in and I was so excited! They looked nice and the only thing I have to complain about them is that they don't have a bottom to give it support. However, I saw another reviewer say she got fabric and a thin piece of wood and made them herself so that's what I plan on doing! I'm so glad I got myself one too! I go the black with green grass letters.

About Me Bride, Bridesmaid, Parent Of Bride/Groom
For the price I couldnt pass it up!! I purchased these for my bridesmaids. I love the design. Its a great sized tote. My only disappointment would be the color of my bags. I ordered coral since thats the color of my bridesmaids dresses. I was hoping to have gotten a true coral color, which is more of a pinkish orange. Instead the color is more of a reddish orange. Even on the receipt it states under color "coral - formely soft red." I just wish that would have been stated before I purchased them. Other than that these totes are perfect, especially since all my girls are coming from out of town.
Beautiful tote for the right price!
By Samofu

I am giving these totes the the bridesmaids as apart of their gifts. I really liked how the colors are vibrant and the stitching is well done. I would have wished that these totes came with support in the bottom of the bag to keep it's shape.
Awesome Tote!

About Me Bride, Bridesmaid
I ordered this product on April 24th, 2013 for part of a gift for my Bridesmaids and received them on May 17th, 2013. I am so happy with the bags, I almost went with the smaller personalized canvas totes but the reviews said those were really small. I am SO HAPPY that I went with the larger totes. They are great quality and looks just like the sample during personalization. I do not regret this purchase and I know my Bridesmaids will love it!

Don't waste your money
By roxy1827
from Eugene, OR
I bought these bags for myself and bridal party. We had our wedding in Mexico and spent 10 days there. After 10 days the bag was pretty dirty. I washed it on gentle cycle and it completely came apart. I contacted customer service and since it had been on 45 days since the purchase they responded "if you would like to order another tote we will out of courtesy honor your original price and give you a 15% discount on your tote"...as with most brides of course I bought these ahead to time. Don't waste you money on something that is going to fall apart and they won't even back their products. 15% off may cover the shipping
Great Size and Style
By Sunny
from Texas
Great bag for the price! You can tell from the bottom that it won't hold much weight, but it's perfect for my bridesmaids for my beach wedding! One thing to note- the colors are all a bit darker than they appear on the screen, especially the purple.
I am very pleased!
By ohsoofly
from Atlanta, GA
These tote bags are great. They are very big. I bought these for my four bridesmaids while they were on sale. The colors I chose match perfect. Some have complanined about there not being hard bottom in the bag but that was not a big issue for me. It is a qulity product. I would reccommend this for anybody! I am a very happy bride! They all will love this gift.
Great value, stylish & functional
By Lena
from Frederick, MD
I ordered 3 bags for my bridesmaids in hot pink, robin's egg and light blue. Hot Pink and Robin's Egg turn out great - rich colors and very well made. I was not as happy with the third bag as it wasn't stiched as neatly and the light blue looked faded. I sent an email to customer services and they said they would be happy to exchange it for a new bag. That made me a very happy and confident in shopping for more gifts here.

Not at all what I thought.
By July Bride
from Marina Del Rey, California
I purchased these bags for my bridal party. I thought it would be a nice touch to have a personalized bag to hold the gifts for my bridesmaids. I was very disappointed when I discovered the bag did mot have a supportive bottom. The most frustrating thing about the bags were that one of the four bags was a completely different color and material. Three of the bags were a nice white linen with the customized colors and initials, however one of the bags was a dirty off white color and the fabric was very rough. Additionally there are small spots on the off white section of the bag. The colors are very nice, however the poor workmanship was very disappointing.

By Nanners

My MOH's and BM's are going to love this personalized bag, it is big enough for a weekend away bag for them to bring everything they need,I am stuffing mine with a towel wrap, flip flops, a makeup bag and jewerly for the wedding day and there is still plenty of room.
Absolutely Love!
By Ashley
I bought these on sale for a great price for my bridesmaids! I received them in the mail today and I love them! The color is better than the picture shown on this website! I bought the grass green tote & robins egg blue, with the black initials. They are well made and can hold several things (even towels or clothing). I def recommend them for any occasion or for your own personal use!
Adorable Bags
By Becky
from Philadelphia
Love this bag. I was a little nervous about getting it.. because I wasn't sure what I was really getting. All was great except the colors. I think they should have the same colors for the bag, inital and border. And the colors that they have, are not what they come out to be. So if you order Red... expect a coral color. Not happy about that and it will be redone. Which they were happy to help me with.
By Michelle bride to be
from Ft Myers Fl
This is a great bag for everyday and beach,& travel use. I am so glad I ordered it and I am now waiting until it goes on sale again and get 1 for myself!!I got 2 for each bridesmaid with their Initial & it really is a classic bag. This will also be good for gifts for friends and family at other times of the year. Doesn't have to be just wedding gift. I also purchased the small cosmetic bag to coordinate, it is small but can fit lip glosses etc. The sale price is awesome and makes it well worth the $ .
Perfect Gift
By BBird
from Cancun, Mexico
I purchased 8 of these bags for my bridesmaid's during the semi-annual sale. I paid [$] with Personalization for Each bag. I think this was a great price and was happily suprised to see the personalization was stiched on. I would not pay full price for these bags, as you can get them at a great discount. 2 negatives are that there is no support in the bottom, and the top only ties shut. However, my wedding is a destination, and these will be perfect for 1. the BM carry on bags, and 2. beach days. No support necessary! :) I got hot pink, with hot pink and gold engraving to match my colors and it looks beautiful! A true great purchase when on sale.
Nice bag
By JAC
from ELK CITY, OK
This bag is not exactly what I expected. It is soft and flimsy. I expected it to be a little more sturdy. However, the bag seems like it would hold up. I agree with other reviews complaining about the bag not having a hard bottom, it would be so so much better if it did. It would hold up better, and it would make the entire bag look better. The dimensions are a little deceiving because i had bought bags for my bm that had the EXACT same dimensions but this bag is much shorter than the others. I do like the bag in spite of it all.
Quality Bags!!
By Katie R
from Mason, OH
I ordered 5 of these for my bridemaids! I loved all of them! I had an issue with one coming to me with the wrong monogrammed letter on it, but the knot took care of me! They sent out the correct one very quickly! This company is a pleasure to work with!!
What I expected
By shortyB
from Hilton Head Island, SC
I purchased 5 of these bags for my bridesmaids, all in different colors. I did all the letters and stitching in black. I am super pleased with the way they look. The only issue I had was that the Red actually came out to be more of a coral. Def not red. However, I kind of liked it better. Either way, it still looked really nice. Since the red wasn't completely necessary it wasn't a big deal. I even got one for myself, Bright green with pink lettering, and I love it!! I will be filling them with beach themed items (beach towel, flip flops, chapstick, etc). I am very happy with the look and even more so with the price.
Great bridesmaids gift
By older is better!
from Pittsburgh but Denver wedding
I bought this bag based on reviews. My colors came out very nice (lilac and chocolate). The bag is quite large, which is great for all the girls' stuff on wedding day. I read negative comments about the bag not having a stiff bottom. I solved that by buying foamboard (correct dimension to use is 17in x 7 1/4in))which I then covered with matching burlap. Now the bag has a removable bottom! Great price also as I got it on sale. Very worth the sale price. Also had to get one myself and for my mom.
Colorblock Tote, so cute!
By Nicole
from Philadelphia, PA
I ordered 7 of these bags for my Bridesmaids, each with their initals on them. My Bridesmaids will be in black so I did the black bag with black initals as well as the outer stitching in black. I'm very happy with the way they turned out and I know the girls will be happy as well! Also, I got them on sale! I'm filling the bags with a bunch of goodies. My girls can also use their bag on my Wedding Day to bring whatever they need.I read that someone wasn't happy because there was not a hard bottom liner, that doesn't bother me. The only thing I know will happen within time is the ribbon to tie the bag close will shred but it's a great bag and it's made well, so I don't care.

Poor Quality & Poor Customer Service
By Devastated Bride
from Washington DC
The bags are missing the hard insert for the bottom of the bag. Without this insert, the bags are useless and look cheap. After putting a small light item inside, the entire bottom of the bag sinks below the sides since there is no support. Upon contacting customer support, I was told "The picture that you see online, reflect it being on a hard surface, whereas the background was removed to promote the item". I find this extremely misleading and to say I am disappointed is an understatement. The mission of The Knot is to make wedding planning as easy and stress free for the bride as possible. It is now the week of my wedding, I am having a huge issue with an item The Knot provided, and not only are they doing nothing to resolve the issue, they are going against everything The Knot claims to stand for.
Best all-around Bag
By BeachBride2012
from Charleston, SC
I bought these for my bridesmaids and one for myself. Great deal as I got them on sale (if I were you, I would NOT pay full price). The quality is excellent, bags are big & roomy, colors matched what was online (Navy & Lt Blue). I did not choose personalization, as I wanted the BM's to choose the color they liked, plus the gifts inside were personalized. I wanted them to feel like they could use the bag after the wedding for other things (I also felt like the personalization was expensive). All in all, a great roomy all purpsose bag anyone would be thrilled to receive for a great price!
great bag

Absolutely Wonderful!
By NYE Bride to Be
from St Louis, MO
I was extremely surprised and excited by both the size and quality of these bags. My wedding was on New Year's Eve so I got my girls sparkly uggs and they fit perfectly with plenty of room for the other goodies. These bags were also really handy for the girls to carry all their beauty supplies on the wedding day. I ordered one for myself too (thanks for the recommendation girls!) I was so glad I did. I used it as my beach bag on our honeymoon and it was perfect. I personalized them with black letters & a white outline which looked great. You should get these for your girls, you won't be sorry!
Awesome, HEAVY CANVAS bag!
By Jsscamre
from Nashville, TN
I bought these fora fund raiser. They are super large bags made with heavy canvas- very spacey and great for lots of stuff.The only con is that they are a bit boxy [with a tie top] but would make fantastic totes, reusable shopping bags, beach bags, etc. WELL worth the money. High quality. Great colors!
Great Bridesmaid Gift
By cmurdock86
from Walnut Creek, CA
I waited to get these bags until they were on sale mostly because I'm on a tight budget. I ordered them in the deep navy, with both colors of thread in the navy as well. They turned out so well! I'm considering getting one more for myself. They are a great size, probably even a little big for what I am putting in them, but they will make for great bags for everyday use. I would agree with the others that have reviewed before me that using one color for both threads is the way to go. And definitely snag them when they are on sale, they are a steal! Full price, I would say that the quality is still there, but hold out if you can for the sale.
Good Bridesmaid Gifts

I got these for my 5 bridesmaids and got them on sale so they were only about $15 each. It was nice for the girls to have the day of the wedding to haul around all of their stuff, looking back I wish I would have bought one for myself! The one thing I didn't like was that the thread colors and the bag colors aren't the same. I wanted to get the green bag with matching green thread but that's not an option so i think they should work on that.

I searched high and low for "thee perfect bag" to put all the gifts I got for my bridesmaids in. I did purchase another one on here and was very disappointed with the make of it, until I saw this one go on sale for [$], I couldn't pass up the price (not sure it would be worth the original price of [$] thought). I read a lot of reviews that said that they were disappointed that they didn't get themselves one so I made sure I got one for myself also. The bags are HUGE and pretty well made. They are perfect for gifts. If your going to purchase a bag on theknot, DEFINITELY GO WITH THIS ONE!!!
Love Them!

I ordered these bags after reading the great reviews, and I'm really glad I did! I only wish you could have 3 letters to have a full monogram, but I like them either way. I ordered one for myself, and I just ordered 2 more for my mom and future mother-in-law as gifts. They are bigger than I expected, and they'll be perfect for the day! I got the matching cosmetic bags, which I also like, but just know that the tan material on the bag and cosmetic bag don't match perfectly. If this would bother you, don't get both.
