Novel about photographer Robert Capa takes us to Paris
"Amid the several million or so souls that inhabit this city, what a happy accident it is, I consider, what an obliterating coincidence that we have found each other. What have I done to deserve this, to be so singled out?" – Seducing Ingrid Bergman p96
Click here if you don't see the video
I discovered the novel Seducing Ingrid Bergman (which I talk about in the video above) after reading this article about war photographer Robert Capa. The article included the heartbreaking story of how most of the negatives for the photographs Capa took during the D-Day landings at Normandy in 1944 were destroyed before a single print was made, due to a mistake in the London photo lab of Life Magazine. I cannot imagine Capa's frustration at this after putting his life in danger and witnessing such bloodshed. It makes the few surviving iconic images all the more precious (their appears to be a difference of opinion as to whether there were 10 or 11 of them, depending on where you read about it!)
I wanted to know more about this good looking Hungarian who lived life on the edge, found solace in women and drink and put himself in enormous danger so the world could witness global conflict, only to die after stepping on a land mine in Vietnam at the age of 40.
What a gift then to find a highly-praised novel in which Capa himself is one of the main characters. In Paris for the city's liberation at the end of World War Two, Capa is at a bit of a loss. What does a war photographer do now that peace has broken out? Capa and his friend, writer Irwin Shaw, find themselves at the Ritz when who should arrive but Ingrid Bergman, the married Swedish-born movie star, who has taken the world by storm with films such as Casablanca and Gaslight.
Capa is smitten immediately and it is not long before he charms his way into Bergman's affections and the beginning of an intense relationship. It was more than an affair for Bergman, who wanted to marry Capa but…. well, I think I should leave it for you to read the novel to see how it all ended up…you'll get no spoilers from me!
We see a little of Paris throughout the book, especially as Bergman and Capa take to some famous streets, restaurants and nightclubs for their somewhat clandestine meetings, and it's great to get a sense of what the city was like during this time of liberation.
"The newspapers are full of the Japanese surrender. V-J Day. People swarm in the streets with renewed fervour, waving flags and handkerchiefs, many clustered around boards where the front pages of the newspapers are displayed. Ingrid is with me on the back of a jeep as I take photographs. We're driven slowly as part of an improvised victory parade through the wildly celebrating crowds."- p68
While this is a work of fiction, it is highly researched, and much of it based on autobiographies by both Capa and Bergman. How much of it is "the truth" is always questionable in novels such as this, but it appears to capture enough of the man to help bring his work alive, and if you read it, you will always feel you know a little of the photographer himself whenever you see his images.
This part of Capa's life is not the only novel in which he features. Susana Fortes's Waiting for Robert Capa (which I have not yet read) is the story of the complicated relationship between Capa and one of the first female photojournalists to die on the frontline, Gerda Taro. The novel explores their lives and careers as the pair re-invent themselves from young radical Jewish exiles living in Paris by the name of André Friedmann and Gerta Pohorylle to two of the world's most celebrated war photographers. Changing their names and re-inventing the art of war photography, the two produced some of the most recognised images of the Spanish Civil War. Read more about their relationship here.
There is much more to the Robert Capa story than I have room for here, but if you'd like to know more about his extraordinary life, here are some suggestions.
- Read the novel Seducing Ingrid Bergman
- Read the novel Waiting for Robert Capa
- Read Capa's memoir Slightly Out of Focus
- Read Bergman's autobiography My Story
- See the D-Day and other Normandy landing photos online
- Watch this documentary about Capa on YouTube, which includes comments by Bergman's daughter Isabella Rossellini
- Consider this hefty book which contains more than 900 of his images or head off to the International Center of Photography in New York, a photography school and museum founded by Capa's brother Cornell, where much of his work is on permanent display.
- Watch the documentary The Mexican Suitcase which tells the amazing story of how three lost boxes of negatives, mainly shot by Capa, Taro and fellow photographer David "Chim" Seymour during the Spanish Civil War were found in a closet in Mexico in 2007. The 4,500 negatives had disappeared from Capa's Paris studio at the beginning of World War Two.
And as a special treat, there are two films currently in development about Capa and his life – based on our two novels.
It seems that 100 years after his birth, Capa's work is still having an impact, while his event-filled life continues to fascinate.
I hope you enjoy the novel and if you are looking for more books set in Paris, you'll find a huge selection here.

A Pedestrian in Paris – John Baxter shares his Most Beautiful Walk in the World
This is a post for Paris in July, hosted by BookBath and Thyme for Tea
John Baxter's The Most Beautiful Walk in the World is the kind of book that just makes you want to jump on a plane immediately so you can join him in wandering the streets of Paris. This is a book written by a man who truly loves to understand what he is seeing around him and ponder on how it all fits into the city's history…and with this book, you will feel the same way.
Baxter is an Australian who has lived in Paris for more than 20 years. One day, in an effort to help out a friend, he found himself conducting a couple of guided 'literary walks' for writers visiting the city. It made him realise how limited traditional tours and guide books were, with their inability to allow room for the unexpected. Receiving a great reaction from his first "customers" and some encouragement from a highly entrepreneurial friend, Baxter decided to expand his tour operations…this book tells you that story, and of course, offers some great advice for those wanting to set off on their own literary meander around Paris.
John has been kind enough to answer a few of our questions… (Thanks John!)
What kind of a reaction have you had?
The book has been an astonishing success. It has already gone into five printings in less than a month, and reviews have been uniformly enthusiastic. Many people have also emailed me their appreciation. It's been a welcome surprise.
How do you feel when you see tourists wandering around with cameras and guide book, practically ticking the sights of Paris off a checklist?
It's better than not "doing" Paris at all, but I'm sorry to see them missing out on so much. At times, I want to grab them and say, "No, stop reading and look! " An hour sitting in a café can tell you more than the most detailed guide book.
You really make the sixth arrondissement sound like the stuff of dreams, especially for those in love with all things literary, is it really as romantic as it appears?
Even more so! There is hardly a street or square that doesn't have some literary association. There is a magic to the very stones. They breathe poetry.
If someone was coming to Paris and they only had one day to experience the city, what would you suggest they do?
Breakfast at the Cafe Flore or Deux Magots on Boulevard St Germain, a Metro ride to Montmartre to view the city from the terrace of Sacre Coeur, a sandwich eaten in the Luxembourg Gardens, a visit to the church of St Severin in the Latin Quarter and to the Shakespeare and Company bookshop nearby, a nap back at your hotel, then dinner in a great restaurant, and a walk across Pont Neuf, pausing in the middle to watch the Seine by moonlight. (Of all these experiences, the Seine by moonlight will probably be the one you remember best.)

I normally ask our contributors to recommend somewhere off the beaten track, a hidden gem they can go and visit, but your book is full of them. Can you give us a favourite?
At least once a month, you'll find me at the flea market at Porte de Vanves that takes place year-round each Saturday and Sunday morning. It's a cornucopia of treasures that also reveals an enormous amount about the history and culture of France. (Don't be surprised if you run into Catherine Deneuve. She's a keen flea-marketeer and a frequent visitor.)
And if a visitor just went to one place to eat, where would you suggest?
The Au Bon St Pourcain on rue Servandoni, next to Saint Sulpice church. A classic one-room restaurant that hasn't changed in a century.
Your timing for the book is perfect. There seems to be a real Paris fascination at the moment, perhaps helped by Woody Allen's new movie, 'Midnight in Paris'…
There are times when Most Beautiful Walk reads like the Book of the Film. But it was pure coincidence. Oddly, Woody is an unwilling visitor to Paris. He doesn't trust the water, doesn't like the food, and speaks no French. But he's as susceptible to its magic as the rest of us.
What do you hope The Most Beautiful Walk in the World leaves people with?
I hope it makes those who have never visited Paris decide to do so, and those who already know the city to return. The city is inexhaustible. There is always more to discover.

This book is not just about Paris though is it? It's about walking, observing and taking it all in, wherever you are…
It's about jumping in at the deep end; experiencing life without preconceptions. Life is more enjoyable if one can stop and look. Paris makes that easier, since there's so much more to see.
Do you still offer guided walks yourself? How can people find you if they are keen to hear your stories in person?
I still do a few tours, but pressure of work has forced me to limit them. Anyone who is interested could email Terrance Gelenter at Paris Through Expatriate Eyes.
Do you have a favourite novel set in Paris?
Le Divorce by Diane Johnson, who's another long-time expatriate (and neighbour). Despite the title, it's in English; the witty and observant story of a collision between an American and a French family over marriage, infidelity, sex and a 17th century painting both claim to own. The movie version of a few years back didn't do it justice.
The Most Beautiful Walk in the World reminds us just how much has happened on the streets of the cities we visit. How often do you fly through a place in a few days, just making sure you see the main sights before moving on? Of course it's rare to have the luxury of truly exploring the streets as John does, but it is good to be reminded that even if we can't always see them, the pavements we walk on and the buildings we pass are rich with stories of the past. Next time you are walking the streets of an unfamiliar city, just stop from time to time, take a deep breath and look around, and wonder what ghosts are walking along beside you.
And of course, if you are off to Paris anytime soon….then I highly recommend The Most Beautiful Walk in the World as a companion. If you are looking for a traditional guide book, then this is not for you. But if you are keen to explore the poetry of the streets alongside someone who can whisper stories in your ear – then John Baxter's book is a fine way to do it.
Packabook was kindly provided with a review copy of the book "The Most Beautiful Walk in the World" by the publishers.
Books set in France – What the Bloggers Recommend
As you know we love to highlight books set in Paris on this blog, but today we thought we'd find out what some of the wonderful bloggers in France recommend as THEIR favorite reads. These are people who live and breath French life – so when they suggest a good book, we listen!
Now, you would think coming up with a favorite novel would be easy – but not for Doni from Girls Guide to Paris who says she has so many favourites it was almost impossible to choose.
Eventually she settled on The Razor's Edge by Somerset Maugham.
"While it doesn't ooze Paris or France the way some other books may, it is beautifully written and captures a very particular time and a society that largely doesn't exist anymore. And since reading it, I always feel quite smart when I have a coupe de Champagne at the Café de la Paix near the Opéra Garnier," Doni says.
Doni couldn't help also sneaking in a non-fiction book as well — Time Was Soft There by Jeremy Mercer, a book about his bohemian experience living and writing at Doni's favourite bookshop in the world, Shakespeare and Co.
Shakespeare and Co. is a delicious bookshop – you really don't want to go to Paris without dropping in!
Firmly aimed at the fairer sex, Girls Guide to Paris showcases all the latest from the French capital. From where to eat, where to shop and what to wear, Doni and her team of female bloggers will have you living the life of a Parisienne in no time!
Martina from Mad About Paris says there is one book you cannot visit Paris without….and that's Dora Bruder by Patrick Modiano. But she warns you will need to be prepared to enter a world of melancholy.
"Modiano is obsessed with one subject: disappearance," Martina says.
"In all of his books he's searching for traces of the past. Not any past, but the time when Paris was under German occupation. All his books are a travel through time. Often the starting point is a small fact, something he found in the archives, in old newspapers, and even old telephone directories.
In this case it was 1988 when Modiano found this announcement in a 1941 newspaper reporting that a 15-year old girl, Dora Bruder, was missing: "oval face, grey-brown eyes, wine-coloured jumper, dark blue skirt and hat, and brown shoes. Contact Monsieur and Madame Bruder, 41, Boulevard Ornano for any relevant information.
For more than a decade Modiano was obsessed with collecting any possible information about Bruder, only to discover she had been deported to Auschwitz. This book is his reconstruction of her life.
For people visiting the France, Dora Bruder is an opportunity to discover and immerse yourself in a Paris which has now disappeared."
Thanks Martina!
Mad about Paris is not a travel guide and not a city-blog, it's both of these and much more than this: an online magazine about Paris, the number one tourist destination. The site not only gives you tools and tips for a perfect trip, it also wants to make you dream about Paris, it's people and it's stories. It's for all Paris lovers: a simple way to stay tuned.
It's a dark choice as well from Kristin Espinasse from French Word-A-Day.
Perfume: the Story of a Murderer is set in Paris, but also has scenes in Grasse, the perfume capital of France.
"The writer, Patrick Suskind, is amazing at description: the scenes of Paris and of Grasse are so vivid. It is a wickedly evil book… but the writing is so engrossing that it is difficult to put down as one follows, with amazement, the megalomaniac main character, who is a scent genius."
Kristin and I agree you either love or hate Perfume, but there is only one way to find out which category you fall into, and that's to give it a go!
Kristin Espinasse is the author of "Words in a French Life: Lessons in Love & Language from the South of France. She began the blog French Word-A-Day in 2002, with the goal of learning how to write…while teaching others how to learn French.
Richard from Eye Prefer Paris is more your burly non-fiction type, so is passing on the novels and suggesting we read The Piano Shop on the Left Bank by Thaddeus Carhart.
"It's a memoir about an American man who lived in Paris as a child and learns how to play the piano," Richard says.
"He is traumatized by his performance at a recital and vows never to play again. He moves to Paris from the U. S. as a grown man with his wife and young son. On his way to taking his son to school everyday, he stumbles on a piano repair shop and befriends the owner. What later ensues is him buying a piano and getting in touch again with his passion for the piano and overcoming his childhood fear. There's a wonderful romanticism about his take on Paris and the Parisians and the story is very moving. Also his description of the Left Bank and his neighbourhood and the interesting & warm people he meets is so enticing that it makes you want to move here. It's a rich and rewarding true tale and a most inspiring ex-pat memoir."
Ah – a renewal of passion in Paris – how can we resist!
Eye Prefer Paris is an insiders Paris blog written by Ex-New Yorker Richard Nahem, that posts four times a week with stories and great photos about food, culture, art, pastries & chocolate, shopping, history, and fashion. Richard also leads private insider walking tours of Paris – based on places he writes about on his blog.
And something quite a bit different from Lindsey of Lost in Cheeseland, whose favourite book set in Paris was actually written for children. It was published in 1953 and presents a thorough history of the city through vibrant illustrations.
"Miroslav Sasek offers the reader a visual tour of Parisian life – from its monuments, transportation system, and parks to its cafés and evens its animals," says Lindsey.
"This Is Paris is part of a larger collection of "This Is…" city books which includes London, Rome, Venice, New York and San Francisco and although it was written for children, the cultural benefit for adults is just as significant. All of the facts have been updated in recent editions to account for modifications to urban planning and historical sites. Perhaps what is most appealing about the book is how relevant it remains today, vintage aesthetic and all! I offered the book to my young brother this year, it makes a great educational souvenir. "
Lindsey Tramuta is an expat in Paris from Philadelphia and the creator of the blog Lost in Cheeseland – a collection of musings on food, life, love and obstacles in France.
So there you have it…a few suggestions from the experts. Thanks guys, you have given us some real treats to explore.
So how about you? Why not give yourself a little Paris time….and order yourself a literary trip to the French capital….I think I'm going to start at the top with The Razor's Edge and work my way down…
And if you've read any of these recommendations, we'd love to hear what you think in the comments. Do our bloggers know their stuff?
Books set in France – Eight novels that bring French artists to life
In sorting through the books set in France we have on the main site, I couldn't help but notice how many of those novels were to do with art or artists. It makes sense though – one of the first things to pop into your mind when you think of France (after the Eiffel Tower, champagne and berets of course) is bound to be something to do with art. Maybe the Louvre, or an artist (perhaps with a beret!) painting someone's portrait in Montmartre, or even Monet's famous painting of his bridge at Giverny.
So – there's no point in resisting.
If you are going to Paris there's a good chance that you are going to come across art in some way or another. So, the best thing to do is to arm yourself with a load of novels that will immerse you in the art world of the Belle Époque (Beautiful Era) and by the time you arrive in Paris you will know more that you could possibly imagine about the art on offer when you get there. You'll probably know a fair bit about the streets of Montmartre as well!
So here it is.
A list of eight novels set in France about French art and artists
Dancing for Degas by Kathryn Wagner The story of a young ballerina at Paris' Opera Ballet modeling for the Impressionist painter Edger Degas.
Claude and Camille by Stephanie Cowell Fictionalised version of the relationship between artist Claude Monet and his muse Camille.
I am Madame X by Gioia Diliberto When John Singer Sargent's portrait of socialite Virginie Gautreau was shown in Paris 1884, it caused a scandal.
Sunflowers by Sheramy Bundrick Artist Vincent Van Gogh's descent into madness through the eyes of the prostitute Rachel.
Cezanne's Quarry by Barbara Corrado Artist Paul Cezanne is caught up in the mystery surrounding the murder of a mysterious young woman in Aix-en-Provence.
Depths of Glory by Irving Stone The story of Camille Pissarro one of the main figures of the Impressionist movement.
Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper by Harriett Scott Chessman The story of Lydia, whose sister Mary was at the center of the Impressionist movement in Paris.
Luncheon of the Boating Party by Susan Vreeland Focuses on one of Renoir's instantly recognizable masterpieces, and imagines the story arounds its creation.
It's a delightful mix of novels that blend fact and fiction to make the art and artists of the time come alive, forever changing how you look at their work. And what's even better is the way the same characters appear in lots of the different books – you will feel like a member of the Impressionist family yourself if you manage to read all of these. I am certainly planning on giving it a good go. Why not join me?
P.S. If you'd like to delve beyond the art world, see what other books set in France we have discovered.
Books set in France – Now it's Easier Than Ever to Find Them!
Just in time for Bastille Day, Packabook is delighted to announce that you can now find books set in France categorized by regions and cities.
To give it a try, visit the France page, look over to the right and you will see that the fiction category has been divided into several places to choose from, such as the Riviera, the Loire Valley and of course Paris.
As you might expect, the vast majority of books are set in Paris – almost 50 so far. There are books in which Paris is almost a character itself, like Foreign Tongue by Vanina Marsot, and there are classics like Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises and George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London.
If you are looking for something a little lighter, you could try A Year in the Merde by Stephen Clarke or Blame it on Paris by Laura Florand. And if crime novels are your thing, then most of the wonderful Chief Inspector Adamsberg mysteries are set in Paris. Just think, with so many to choose from – you could read a book a week and still find yourself in Paris after nearly a year!
We are really keen to build up our selection of novels set OUTSIDE of Paris – so would love to hear your suggestions. Do you know of any books set on the Riviera or in the French countryside that we don't have listed? Let us know in the comments.
If you don't mind where in France your next book comes from, then just stick with the general France Fiction category. ALL the books are there, along with those that don't have a specific location. And please feel free to let us know if we have inadvertently put a book in the wrong category – we are always grateful for you keeping us on our toes in this respect!
That's it. Get yeself off to France immediately…It's summertime, the champagne is flowing……

The Braves take on the Marlins today, here's the lineup:
- Martin Prado, 3B
- Nate McLouth, CF
- Jason Heyward, RF
- Brian McCann, C
- Eric Hinske, LF
- Freddie Freeman, 1B
- Ed Lucas, 2B
- Diory Hernandez, SS
- Tim Hudson, P
Of course Hudson starts, and he'll be followed by Eric O'Flaherty, Cory Gearrin, Anthony Varvaro, Stephen Marek, and Juan Abreu. This is already the fifth game for Varvaro, Marek, and Abreu. For three guys on the bubble of making the bullpen, they're really getting them a lot of work.
This will be Lucas' third start of the spring, and the third different position he's started at. His previous two starts were at third base and shortstop. He's also played two innings of outfield. It certainly looks like they want him to fill Omar Infante's shoes this year, and they're giving him the opportunity to do so. By the way, our old pal Omar is hitting .300 this spring and has only played second base (where he's "competing" with Joe Thurston).

So I went to my first Marlies game tonite, and I gotta tell ya it wasn't bad at all. The Marlies won in overtime after Timmy Stapleton scored his second of the game, he also added an assist.
The Ricoh is, to say the least, small. Any seat in the house is prolly an equivalent to Air Canada Club seat at worst. It isnt a bad environment for the price of admission.
A few game notes to pass on:
- Rosehill is a nutcase
- Tim Stapleton is freakin fast
- Oreskovic and Deveaux are MASSIVE!
- Pogge wasn't overly busy, and looked shaky
- Phil Oreskovic is awesome, I really wanna see him in the NHL next year. After the game he stood by the bench to fist pump everyone and when Stapleton came he hugged him and picked him up. Everytime he came on the ice he tapped Pogge with his stick or gave him some props. After the game he went right to him. They seem to be good friends.
- I was yelling for Hollweg to "Hollweg" someone... he didn't.
- Stralman got kneed by Mike Keane, he was down for a bit but got up and came back
I think I am going to grab some playoff!!!!!!1 tickets should they clinch (syracuse was losing in the 3rd, if they lost they clinched)
I will link to some pics once I post them.

Teacher removed over chalk board threat
Officials in an Indiana school district said a high school teacher was removed from campus after leaving a threatening message to students on his chalk board.
Lake Station school district Superintendant Dan DeHaven said the 28-year-old Edison Junior-Senior High School business teacher, whose name was not released, was removed from campus Friday after putting a message on his chalkboard saying "the guns are loaded," WBBM-TV, Chicago, reported Tuesday.
The message, which was photographed by a student and posted to Facebook, read:
"Period 6: (only)
"(a) You are idiots!!!
"(b) The guns are loaded!!!
"(c) Care to try me?????"
DeHaven said the message was a response to comments made by the substitute teacher who had been filling in for the instructor for the previous two days.
The superintendant said the teacher's future with the district will be determined pending the outcome of an investigation.

In what could be the ruggers' swan song as a varsity side, the Bears have launched a classic assault against their early-season opponents. Cal's won all of its eight matches to date, outscoring opponents by an average 14-to-1 margin.
Rugby is slated to lose its place among intercollege sports within the Athletics Department at the conclusion of the 2011 season and be relegated to club status under a plan announced by AD Sandy Barbour and Chancellor Birgenau. Oddly, the move would coincide with Cal's elevation to the newly organized College Premier League.
The Bears' first eight games of the season -- one conventional 80-minute Union match against Division I Sacramento State and seven abbreviated games played in the Dennis Storer Pac-12 Tournament hosted by UCLA -- have produced a 299-point scoring advantage. Half of the matches were shut-outs.
Cal's relatively slow scoring pace reflects recent graduation losses. At this point last season, the Bears had notched a 457-point advantage against opponents. In the 2009 season, the ruggers had amassed a 434-point edge by this time.
Defensively, the Bears are fairly much on pace with previous seasons, allowing 23 points. At this point in the 2009 season, opponents had scored 19 points against Cal, but were limited to only a dozen last year.
It's early enough in Cal's season to work on skill development, though the task is made more difficult with the loss of Witter Rugby Field to the Memorial Stadium/Student-Athlete High Performance Center renovation project. Cal is an itinerant team this season, playing only two 'home" matches on Treasure Island pitches in 2011.
The Bears' tuning needs to be complete by the launch of College Premier League play in March. A seven-match schedule will pit Cal against San Diego State, UC Davis, Central Washington, UCLA, Claremont Colleges, St. Mary's and Cal Poly-SLO in the run-up to the CPL championship series in May.
Cal debuts on Treasure Island next Saturday, taking on the Division 1 Wildcats of Chico State at 1 p.m.

Smith also had 11 pass deflections, Sanford has 10 in his 4 year career.
Smith had 1 sack, Sanford has 1 sack in 4 years.
Smith is a play maker, and a game changer.

Smith and now Rhodes seems to be trending toward improvement in coverage and ability to catch the ball.
Sanford is serviceable but is still out of position more than he should be. He works hard and is better than Raymond, but still needs to improve. Better play from Sanford and the nickel corner will give a healthy Jared Allen a fair shot at the sack record.
Smith will be awesome for years to come.We're bringing purple back.
That means he was head and shoulders about other teams starting FS's.
If he didn't do that last year, Smitty doesn't do what he did last year. Just that simple.
As to what is sexy and what isn't......Any turnover is a game changer, just not INT's. So are Sacks and Tackles for a loss. Guess which ones happen more often during the course of a game? Same ones that caused Smitty to get 2 gimme INT's last year.
You can put alot of value on a INT if you want, but I'd rather see consistent pressure from our front 4 getting that pressure on the QB (result INT or sack) and getting those tackles in the backfield (lots of fumbles).Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
You can even break that down further to the role your Mike and your Sam play in this scheme which allows your Will to be the play maker.
Again, don't get me wrong, I love Smitty. Enjoy watching him come on and learn the game so fast but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the work Jamarca has put in over the years getting to the spot were he could play like he did last year.
By the way, if you (and I'm not pointing out anyone in particular) can't appreciate the differences between what a FS and a SS do to support each other in this scheme then my point will continue to be missed.
LOL, kindof makes me think back a few years ago when I first joined this site and had deep dark discussions with people on the differences between a RDE and a LDE.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
Quick question, who is the eye of the beholder? A guy who just wants his eyes to see INT's or a guy who wants to see that gap filled or a zone filled when the LB is asked to run blitz? Again, the run game isn't as sexy as an INT but it is just as important.
Heck, most of our fan base loved Whinny for his run support efforts, not sure why a SS can't get a bit of that love.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
I think Shariff, based on what I saw from tape on his collegiate career, is one of those cats. I not only think that, but I think he is going to be one of an even rarer cat and that is he will be able to do it from all 4 DLmen positions (ala John Randle) and not just the 1 tech.
I think that last part is what might confuse a few of you when I'm spewing forth my drivel (laced with alot of excitement) about this kid.
Again, he will get most of his early reps behind K-dubb, but as the year wears on, start looking for him to start eating reps at the 1 and the 5 tech as well.
I get chills just thinking about it.
As to the scheme.....I've seen a few things that make me question what the heck we are doing on the defensive side of the ball.
1. Leslie used to say we didn't have a FS and a SS, now our D-coord talks about it all the time.
2. The move of Guion to the 1 tech when he is clearly not suited to play there. That guy is a straight stick 3 tech.
3. The insistence of running beefed up RDE's over at LDE. Just like Edwards, I suspect we will start to see some of those ill effects showing on Rob from carrying that extra weight.
All things put together, what used to be our strength (top 10 vs run) went to crap last year. What were we ranked vs the run, something in the 20's I think. Yikes...
When you can't take the run away, teams have the luxury of hitting you 2 dimensionally vice one dimensionally and your back end is going to suffer considerably especially in pass defense.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
According to NFL.com the Vikings ranked as follows on defense over the last 4 years (using yards):
Rush Defense Pass Defense Total
2009 2nd (87 ypg) 19th 6th (305 ypg)
2010 9th (102 ypg) 10th 8th (312 ypg)
2011 11th (107 ypg) 26th 21st (358 ypg)
2012 11th (106 ypg) 24th 16th (350 ypg)
We have slipped a bit on run defense as we typically ranked in the top 5 during much of Pat's reign. But our pass defense is still our biggest weakness on defense, even when our run defense was very strong.
My guess is that we will see similar run defensive rankings, but hopefully we can improve on the pass rankings. The talent to stop the run doesn't seem much improved, but pass rush and secondary play will hopefully be better.
On a side note, kind of interesting how the ypg stays farily consistent throughout the years from a rankings standpoint. Especially rushing ypg, passing ypg has been trending up a little bit.

An Allentown woman hopes social media will help her reunite with the mother who abandoned her 27 years ago.
Katheryn Deprill believes her birth mother is out there somewhere and she desperately wants to meet her.
Deprill was discovered in the bathroom of an Allentown Burger King on the morning of September 15th, 1986.
"A customer there had heard a baby crying for about an hour. They
went and investigated and they found me laying there," Deprill said.
"Baby Doe" was rushed to the hospital in good health and was later adopted into a loving family.
She is now a married mother of three and feels blessed at the life
her adoptive mother has given her, but she longs to find the woman who
gave her life, has created a Facebook page designed to aid her search.
Katheryn admits it's been tough coming to grips with the fact that
her birth mother abandoned her, but time has softened that anger.
"I don't have any hate. I'm actually in a pretty good place right now to totally understand," Katheryn said.
"She had to have cared. And I'm just thankful she left me somewhere warm, and didn't throw me away."
Some emotional scars remain, Katheryn says she has trouble trusting others and letting go of her own kids.
"I go into a large room like a big convention, and I think, my brother or sister could be here or my mom all of the time."
An old newspaper article includes the passage, "police are asking for
help in trying to identify the baby's mother." 27 years later, the
mystery remains.
"She needs to know it's okay to come forward. I just want to see her and maybe just ask her 'why,'" Katheryn said.
There are clues in some of the medical records she's seen that
suggest she has an older sibling perhaps no more than a year older.
If you have any information that could help Katheryn find her birth mom, she is asking to connect with you on her Facebook page.

When the new movie comes out, will you see it in 3D or 2D the first time?
View Single Post

I have nothing against post-conversion 3D other than "what I've heard." I saw
Harry Potters 5-6
in 3D (the ten minutes of each film that were converted) and never saw a problem with it. And I caught the last
film in 3D by accident. It didn't look great, but it wasn't bad either. As for shooting in 3D,
looked great in either format (although I did end up needing to see it flat just to reassure myself that it was in fact a movie I had seen and not some kind of animation).
In general though, my attitude is "see it however the director wanted." JJ is fond of shooting anamorphic, and has cited that has his reason for not shooting 3D (I don't know enough about 3D filming to be aware that the two formats are mutually exclusive, however I take his word for it). As I happen to like his cinematic style, and think it is just what ST has needed, my preference will be in 2D.
On the other hand, it's ST. Unlike most movies, I probably will see this more than enough times to justify one or two trips to the IMAX. And cynically, I have no doubt in my mind that the one theater in town with an 'actual' IMAX screen will choose to project a 3D print of the film.

Farm Bureau Disappointed with Court Ruling Regarding EPA TMDL
A district court judge has upheld the Environmental Protection Agency's total maximum daily load for the Chesapeake Bay. According to Judge Syliva Rambo - the EPA is within its rights under the Clean Water Act to partner with the states in the bay watershed to cut the pollution that pours in from sewers and construction developments - and particularly chemical and biological waste from farms. Farm Bureau President Bob Stallman says his group believes the ruling is incorrect and has huge implications for farmers and many others in the Bay area and nationwide. Stallman notes farmers care deeply about our natural environment and want to do their part to improve water quality. But he says Congress didn't authorize EPA to dictate how farmers, builders, homeowners and towns would share the responsibility of achieving clean water. According to Stallman - that's the job of the states. Farm Bureau believes EPA's approach wrongly puts federal agency staff in charge of intensely local land use decisions. Farm Bureau and its allies in the case are reviewing the court's decision and evaluating next steps.
The American Farm Bureau Federation, the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau and other organizations filed a lawsuit at the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania to stop the EPA from moving forward almost two years ago. The Fertilizer Institute, National Pork Producers Council, National Corn Growers Association and the National Chicken Council joined the plaintiffs.

Used Kawasaki Dirt Bikes For Sale
I remember when we brought my son his first Kawasaki dirt bike. He had wanted a dirt bike for two years before he was big enough to ride one. The day he received his dirt bike he never wanted to get off the bike. He would sleep with his helmet next to him. I was not as familiar with all of prestige that came along with owning a Kawasaki bike.
|Kawasaki KXF Kawasaki KX450F 2009 Fresh engine and plenty of upgrades
|17 Bids
The company was established by Shozo Kawasaki in 1878 as a company dedicated to ship building. Like most manufactures, in the dirt bike industry they did not start out to produce dirt bikes. They entered the dirt bike industry in the early 50's, but were finally able to branch out around 1963.
Today they are producing bikes with a high, grade reputation. Their 100 series bikes are known for being a lightweight machine that is easy to control. These Kawasaki dirt bikes were built for off-road performance. There are two bikes in the 100 series; the KX100 and the KLX110. Each bike was built with a small engine, is cost effective, and is easy for a beginner to handle. These dirt bikes are small and quick but lack any substantial power.
If you are looking for a Kawasaki dirt bike, that offers more power and performance, you will want to try a bike in the 400 series. There are two bikes in the 400 Kawasaki line. There is the KX450F which will give you high-end, professional performance. It has awesome power, and acceleration. This bike will do excellent in just about any motocross and dirt bike competition. In 2008, Kawasaki released the new KX450R. This bike has even more power and acceleration than the KX450F. This bike will give you a better performance with its ultra, powerful 449-cc, liquid cooled 4 stroke engine.
The dual purpose bikes are perfect for those who only ride off-road occasionally. A dual purpose Kawasaki dirt bike will allow the rider to ride on the road all day long and move to the dirt whenever they want. These bikes do not have the same performance for an off-road competition; however they are more comfortable and great for being on the road.

Marcus Coleman may be one of the least talked about members of this 2012 recruiting class for Syracuse, but the defensive tackle from New Jersey has good size and is coming off of a great senior season.
Stats Me: Marcus recorded 46 tackles and a sack this year for 10-1 Camden Catholic.
Rivals says...two stars for Marcus.
Scout says...two stars, and a position ranking of 106.
ESPN says...two stars and a grade of 74. He ranked 132 at his position, 210 in his region, and 39 in New Jersey.
Who's Crying?: Delaware was his only other offer when he pledged with the offer, although he had a few schools like Purdue looking around.
Money Quote: "They are all about developing the total person, not just the football player," Coleman said. "That's what drew me to Syracuse."
What SU Coach is Getting a Bonus?: Marrone, Shafer and Daost all get a bit of credit here.
Fun Fact: Coleman didn't play much defensive tackle until this year, so he is fairly raw at that position. He's another kid looking for a Whitman education.
Highlights: Plenty of them over here at this site.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Although treated rather dismissively by most guidebooks, this is one of the better easy routes to be found out there. It is relatively long (3-4 pitches), nicely exposed, and has a fine position high above the Fall River Valley. As for most McGregor routes, the endless options for variation have caused confusion in identifying the designated path. Yet, the left side of the slab has some more well-defined features that set it apart. I suppose this could be done in 2 60m pitches, but for convenience I describe it in 4 100-120 foot leads.
Standard rack with long runners to tie-off trees and flakes.

I sent out a query on Twitter to romance authors and readers if they'd be interested in answering two quick questions. These two questions are ones that I personally love to ask romance authors when I interview them because the answers are always different and unique even though both deal with emotion and passion. It's inspiring really to see how they can be defined. Below are the questions and their responses; how would you answer them?
How do you define love?
Leigh Ellwood: I see love as the feeling in your heart, somewhere between softening and swelling, you experience when you are near your partner. No matter how they look, what they are wearing, or how long you've been together - you still get that tingle when you kiss and that itching desire to grab 'em!
Carolyn Jewel: A deep and abiding respect and admiration (since I can't use the word "love"). Two people who are aware of each other's flaws and find it makes little to no difference.
Rai-mon Nemar: Love is - Thinking to yourself "if you just act on your dreams you'll rule the world", and yet you're actions are consistently made with someone else's well being in mind.
Love is - When you feel as though your personal and professional pursuits wouldn't have had as much meaning without that someone who's traveled the journey with you. They might even be worthless.
Love is - Not an emotion! It is a choice you make daily to stay the course and live your life with someone and know you'll be better for it.
What makes a great bedroom scene?
Leigh Ellwood: I like a slow build-up, a painfully teasing undress and kisses that explore the skin like a roadmap. I like dialogue, too. Sex doesn't have to be a mute activity. Where there is communication, it only ramps up the sex appeal.
Carolyn Jewel: There must be something at risk, something changed between them afterward. If your characters aren't risking anything emotionally through their intimacy, then it's just boring. Every bedroom scene has to change the relationship between the characters. This can include making things seem even worse, by the way. Intimacy does not always equal happy ever after, especially early on in a relationship. It's not only about who's touching who where. The best bedroom scenes never, ever lose focus on the emotion, even when one of the characters thinks there isn't any.
Rai-mon Nemar: I'd say it's like it real life. It's all about the foreplay and more importantly the anticipation. Then "learning" how the person reacts to the certain things you do. Kissed this (nothing), touched that (nothing) bit her fat (she sucked her teeth for almost a minute like bacon sizzling) hopefully you know what I mean.
To read other responses to these questions, check out Love Romance Passion's additional author interviews.
If you are the owner of a review blog or are a romance author and are interested in participating in this survey please send your responses (and links) to Keira: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Wednesday, June 8, 2011 Stretching Classroom Boundaries
We had a great time in the tele today during the New Links in the Classroom with Videoconferencing and Skype class. Ten participants from schools in the bi-state region showed up to learning about H323 videoconferencing, Skype, collaborations, content providers, bridging and much, much more! We even played with the Blue Jeans Network for the first time- bridging an H323 vc call with a Skype account!
In the morning, we connected to the Center for Puppetry Arts for a vc demo and had a great connection with Iyabo Shabazz, a DL Program Presentation Specialist with the Center. She had the teachers wiggle their fingers and stretch just has should would with a group of younger students. Iyabo shared what kind of programming they do over H323 vc (Butterflies, Mexico, and Edgar Allan Poe) and said they had started using Elluminate to deliver programs as webinars to schools who do not have H323 vc equipment (such as Polycom, LifeSize or Tandberg).
In the afternoon, we had a couple of Skype connections- one with Martha Bogart, who was at the Support Staff Academy Mini-Conference talking about… Skype! We also connected to Manuel Hererra, who Skyped in using the iPad he won at the 2011 Midwest Education Technology Conference. We talked about all the Skype resources out there, including education.skype.com.
It was great to work such an enthusiastic group! I'm looking forward to working with them in the future- in person, or at a distance. Thanks again for coming, ladies!

05-10-13 *USDA/NASS* Colorado Crop Production Report…May 2013
Posted by Brian Allmer on May 10, 2013
Winter wheat production in Colorado, based on conditions as of May 1, 2013, is forecast at 61.95 million bushels according to the Colorado Agricultural Statistics Service. This forecast is 16 percent below last year's production of 73.78 million bushels and 21 percent below the 78.00 million bushel crop produced two years ago. Acreage for harvest, estimated at 1.77 million acres, is 400,000 acres less than a year ago. Average yield is forecast at 35.0 bushels per acre, up 1.0 bushels per acre from last year's yield, but 10.0 bushels per acre below the record high yield of 45.0 set in 2010. This year's crop was planted under mostly dry, unfavorable conditions last fall resulting in thin and variable stands going into winter dormancy. Following a dry, mild winter, dry and cool conditions continued well into early spring forcing dryland farmers in the southeastern area of the state to abandon much of their seeded acreage. The cool temperatures experienced in March and April have delayed crop development, statewide. Crop development is currently about three weeks behind normal. Variable soil moisture supplies ranging from very short to adequate exist in most growing areas. Final yield will largely be determined by the combination of moisture and temperature conditions during May and June.
Hay stocks on Colorado farms and ranches as of May 1, 2013 totaled 360,000 tons, up 57 percent from stocks of 230,000 tons on hand last year. Although less hay was produced in 2012 than the previous year, better hay crops last year in some neighboring states reduced the need to export Colorado hay. The poor condition of pasture and range in the state also led to more shipments of hay into Colorado from other states.
Production of winter wheat is forecast at 1.49 billion bushels, down 10 percent from 2012. As of May 1, the United States yield is forecast at 45.4 bushels per acre, down 1.8 bushels from last year. Expected grain area is forecast at 32.7 million acres, down 6 percent from last year. Hard Red Winter (HRW) harvested acreage is down about 14 percent from the previous year. Soft Red Winter (SRW) harvested acreage is expected to be up 21 percent from last year. As of April 28, thirty-three percent of the winter wheat crop in the 18 major producing States was rated in good to excellent condition, 31 percentage points below the same week in 2012. Nationally, 14 percent of the winter wheat crop was headed by April 28, fifteen percentage points behind the 5-year average pace.
In the southern Great Plains States, winter temperatures were moderate, but drought-like conditions during emergence and most of the growing season negatively impacted winter wheat conditions. As a result, dryland yields are expected to suffer from the lack of moisture which occurred during plant development and grain set. Several hard freezes occurred in parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas during March and April, affecting earlier maturing varieties. Weather conditions remained cooler and wetter than normal throughout April.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
Cooler than normal spring temperatures coupled with higher than normal precipitation in the Corn Belt States of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Ohio hampered crop development. However, as of April 28, the winter wheat crop in the SRW growing States was in mostly good condition.
Production of Durum wheat in Arizona and California is forecast at a collective 15.6 million bushels, down 35 percent from last year. In California, good quality and few diseases issues were reported. Harvest is expected to begin in Southern California by mid-May.
All hay stored on United States farms May 1, 2013 totaled 14.2 million tons, down 34 percent from a year ago. This is the lowest May 1 stocks level on record. Disappearance from December 1, 2012 – May 1, 2013 totaled 62.4 million tons, compared with 69.3 million tons for the same period a year earlier.
Record-low May 1 hay stocks levels were also established in Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Vermont, and Wisconsin.
With the exception of California, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and South Carolina, hay stocks as a percent of production decreased from last year Nationwide. Last year's historic drought led to a substantial decrease in hay production, and therefore beginning stocks for many States. In many areas, the limited availability of native feedstuffs forced producers to feed their herds earlier than normal. Additionally, a cold, wet spring has limited pasture growth causing prolonged dependence on supplemental roughage and feedstuffs in portions of the Midwest.

TB Buccaneers fan but Bama fan 1st and let me start off by saying Im jealous haha getting the most versatile DL in the draft for a 3-4 in Datone Jones, then STILL getting Lacy in the 2nd and then adding who I had as the drafts best 1 cut versatile back (a guy I think Tampa wanted until GB traded up to get in front of us haha)
The reason he fell was because he was injured (pulled hammy very minor) and couldn't attend Combine because of it and then team scouts kept nagging him about doing a workout so he did albeit at only 80% he admitted later
Lacy is a lot different back than Bama has had, he is taller and bigger with explosiveness and agility. His 235 LB frame (less weight than he played at in college, played closer to 255) will allow him to be more of the workhorse back he needs to be in the NFL, as Trent's backup a year ago and the yr before he played closer to that 230 range and was less injury prone. His nagging injury last year (pretty serious turf toe) started out minor and got worse and worse as he played throught it, and had to get surgery after the year was over. It was very clear this year he was at his healthiest (a bit overweight as I indicated).
The other thing that should get you guys absolutely stoked is Bama's offense this yr had a lot more spread feel (with Ingram and Trent Bama ran a lot more I and both were I form style backs) with more shotgun formations and Lacy excelled running out of that offensive style, very similar to the Packers. Lacy also has above average hands in the pass game and has the field vision to get into the open part of an underneath zone and sit, so Aaron Rodgers will love having him not only for that trait but also his excellent pass pro blocking.
NFL Comparison to me would be Stephen Jackson, he's a little more of a juke and spin (spin button haha) guy and more agile and elusive than he should be for his size. It will actually surprise most of you as it did me how elusive he can be in the open field despite his massive frame. He will still pull a pack of defenders or run over a defender, but he would rather spin and get upfield or make a cut to the outside. He has a very upright running style and a skinny foot base allowing him to spin it easily on a dime you'll see a lot of it since it is his go to move, but he still maintains a low center of gravity and churns those legs forward at all times. He's not a stop and step junker like Trent was, he's a downhill guy and builds up steam very quickly. Explosiveness and acceleration through a hole is also impressive for his size.
For the argument of him being a guy created by an all-Pro OL, I'll give you the fact that Bama's OL was outstanding, but at the same time I saw enough of him in the open or on long TD plays where he made a breakaway move all by himself to think that he won't be as successful in the NFL. For Instance Mark Ingram had great vision and a lot more of a run blocking OL that just decimated people, I had serious doubts about him in the NFL and that has been the case, but with Lacy there was a lot more NFL traits in his game I feel. You guys will be very happy with him and I'm excited to see him running crazy for Green Bay.
I will answer any questions you guys have? So ask away

Children and Youth: Faith Formation
At Hancock, we believe that faith is a journey throughout life. Spiritual formation doesn't stop at Confirmation, or with the exciting time spent in Kentucky with friends in the youth group. We nurture and encourage spiritual inquisitiveness through programs for adults as well.

The Hancock Church Sunday School welcomes and supports with love and rejoicing all children by providing them with the fundamentals of faith through the learning of Bible stories, traditions, and worship practices. Through participation in community service projects, the children learn the importance of serving neighbors in the larger community. Recognizing the children as important members of the congregation, the children take part in worship services on a regular basis, sharing their gifts with the congregation through music, art, dance, and other mediums. The Sunday School aims for the children to become life-long learners of faith. We also support children and families through scheduled family movie nights throughout the year.
Nursery and toddler care is available in the Christian Education wing starting at 9:45 am on Sunday mornings.

It equips participants with accurate, age-appropriate information in six subject areas: human development, relationships, personal skills, sexual behavior, sexual health, and society and culture. Grounded in a holistic view of sexuality, Our Whole Lives provides not only facts about anatomy and human development, but helps participants to clarify their values, build interpersonal skills, and understand the spiritual, emotional, and social aspects of sexuality. Adults receive extensive training before teaching this program.

It has been a long tradition at Hancock to gather students over the course of their 9th grade year to learn and to reflect upon some of the central themes and principles of the Christian tradition. The curriculum of the confirmation Class includes discussion on faith and belief, the Bible, creation and evolution, forgiveness and grace and justice and peace. The Confirmands lead and participate in two services every year – Christmas Eve family service and Good Friday. In June each year, the Confirmands affirm their baptismal vows and become members of Hancock church.
High School Program:

In the spring, during either the February or April school break, HYG travels to East Kentucky to build and repair homes for people in need through HOMES, Inc. HYG is open to members and non-members of Hancock.
HYGers love to discuss relevant issues of faith, play silly games, eat lots of ice-cream, and strive to make the world a better place.
An HYG faith story:
I was unsure whether I believed in God or any higher being, and none of it really mattered to me. My time at HYG has changed my faith: Faith is trusting God and others. Faith is believing that there is someone or something out there that can help control your life if you let them. I feel God's presence most when: I am in Kentucky surrounded by people who are happy with less and who make the most of it; we must complete jobs to help others and come together every night to share and worship.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - The trial of a Northampton man charged with setting a series of fires in the city in December 2009 that resulted in two deaths is getting underway.
Anthony Baye faces charges including arson and murder. He has pleaded not guilty.
His trial started with jury selection Monday in Hampden Superior Court in Springfield. Presiding Judge Constance Sweeney moved the trial out of Hampshire Superior Court to maintain the integrity of the jury. Opening statements could start Wednesday.
Prosecutors say the now 28-year-old Baye set 15 fires on Dec. 27, 2009. One house fire spread, killing 81-year-old Paul Yeskie Sr. and his son, 39-year-old Paul Yeskie Jr.
Sweeney ruled Monday that Baye will be tried only on charges related to the Dec. 27 fires, throwing out charges related to five earlier fires.

One of the questions we get asked most often is where do we get our dresses from and how can we sell them at such affordable prices. The dresses you will see on the racks at Brilliant Bridal come from a variety of sources. Many of our dresses are brand new and come with their original tags or certificates of authentication. These dresses often come directly from the manufacturers that have to make room for the current season's designs. Some of our dresses come from high end boutiques that need to liquidate their inventory. Regardless of their place of origin, we get to purchase wedding dresses at deeply discounted prices and pass the savings along to you.
Purchasing Your Wedding Gown Off-the-Rack
Unlike traditional bridal boutiques where you need to order a wedding dress months before your wedding, at Brilliant Bridal you will buy your designer wedding gown off-the-rack and can leave our store with your dress the same day you find it! This is a great option for all brides since you get to try on and purchase your actual wedding gown, rather than a sample dress. But this is an especially good option for brides with short engagements, elopements, Vegas weddings, or any other short term wedding planning situation that wouldn't allow for the waiting period at traditional boutiques.

Pre-Season Week 2 Offence
Going into the second pre-season game we are looking relativity healthy compared to say the Ravens or Patriots.
The majority of our cards sitting out this game are strictly precautionary.So lets break it down by Position.
QB; thank goodness nothing to report here
RB: All is well here. the only reason its on here is cause it is the closest thing to an injury
Beanie Wells has been recovering from bruised ribs. Should play without a doubt.
TE: OK so you could put them all on this list but the only one with a slight chance of missing the Monday Night Game is Ben Patrick
Ben Patrick has a banged up Knee he is a day to day type of injury. He will be a game time decision
WR: Now we start getting in to a grey area with 2 of the 3 top receivers on our squad being held out because of pre cautions we will get a look at our many unproven talents
Larry Fitzgerald is the biggest concern with a strained MCL he will not see the field again till kickoff 2010. There is nothing new to report about him he is said to have been playing B Ball with Kurt just a few days later so im thinking its just like whiz said do we really need to see what Larry can do
Early Doucet has an abdominal strain and will be held out to prevent aggravating it. I tell you what. They say this is Q the 2nd well he is often hurt so there is another thing they have in common
Andre Roberts has a medical condition of dropalotofballs and apparently it causes a rash of the hands if they come in contact with pigskin for more the the 2 seconds it takes to be considerd a catch

"Only connect" was a central theme of President Donald Christian's annual State of the College Address to faculty, staff, and administrators on the morning of Friday, Aug. 23.
"Helping our students connect … is a simple concept. But it is a powerful and unifying way for us to view our educational purpose," he said. "The admonition 'only connect' is also a good directive for us – this college community – about how to come together to move a great college into the future and make it even better," he said. The phrase 'only connect' was inspired by the author E.M. Forester and used in an essay by William Cronon, professor of History, Geography, and Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Christian spoke with pride about New Paltz's growing reputation, discussed several accomplishments of the past year, and presented goals for the coming year. He reported on the successful completion of a strategic plan for the college, which will guide its priorities for the next five years. He described how the strategic plan will help to uphold the college's mission of serving students by "making their liberal education practical and their practical education liberal." He stated, "'Only connecting' is a way for us to overcome silos to the betterment of our students, and our institution."
The address can be read in its entirety here.
Later in the day, a talented and diverse group of 1,134 first-year students were welcomed to the College at the Fall Convocation ceremony. The Class of 2017 was addressed by President Christian, Provost Philip Mauceri, and Professor Jack Wade, chair of the Department of Theatre Arts.
The title of Wade's featured address was "Humility, Industry and A Willingness to Learn." According to Wade, "These are the key fundamentals of an acting approach developed by the iconoclastic actor, director and teacher, Jasper Deeter. He called them the three-legged stool upon which the theatre artist balances." He closed his speech with these sound words of advice: "Take away one of the legs and you may be able to balance precariously, but strengthen and intertwine all three and you'll find yourself grounded, sustained, and mentally agile both here at New Paltz and on your journey through life."
New Paltz's first-year students are, again, an academically strong group, with an average high school GPA of 92.5. For the 24th consecutive year, New Paltz had more applications for admission (13,430) than any other SUNY comprehensive college. Approximately 310 international students from 65 countries, will attend the College this year. They come principally to study the fine arts, business, computer science, and electrical engineering.

Google Ventures Says Uber Will Be Worth More Than Toyota
As quickly as Uber has grown, it's hardly been easy street for the startup. The car-booking service has faced massive protests from cabbies in Europe. It's been the target of lawsuits and regulatory scrutiny in the U.S. And it now finds itself in a race to hire drivers, dangling $1,000 bonuses to lure them away from rivals.

Faith does not lead to the easiest answer possible. Lack of faith leads to the easiest answer possible. For example, a Christian will believe that he or she must live up to a higher moral standard in most cases (some of them choose not to); meaning they must deny themselves several indulgences in life for the benefit of not just themselves but of others around them or that their life may impact. Someone without faith can live without thought of consequence in many instances and may not aspire to any moral standard; thereby taking the easiest and simplest form of logic and assuming that if something makes them feel good, then it is best to fulfill that indulgence. Your example relies on a human flaw because humans are flawed, including scientists. There are no perfect beings currently residing on this planet. No matter how many people or how many hours are spent coming to a conclusion that conclusion is not necessarily the correct conclusion. Look at how many scientific conventions have been challenged and proved to be incorrect. This trend will continue to happen going forward because of politicial, financial, and yes religious motivations. Please try to consider logic in your conclusions and statements. Your entire statement of the creation of humanity is entirely made based on conjecture. You say "probably occurred" because like the rest of us, even with science, you have no definitive answers. The real flaw is to believe that any one person or group of people has all of the answers and that all other beliefs are wrong. All of us have logical conclusions that may or may not be proven to be correct.

" YOU GUYS ROCK!!! Everyone, (and I mean EVERYONE) asked us, "Where did you find that band? They're great!!" Things could not have gone better – thanks again! "
Jenni & Bob, October 2012, Rhinebeck NY
" We can't say enough about how great our wedding was with Bill's Toupee.
Desaree, Mike and the rest of the band are top notch. Hire them, dance with them and have a great time partying with them. You won't regret it. "
Jeff & Ariel, October 2011
" You guys were AWESOME!!! Our guests were raving about you!!! You kept everyone up and dancing all night long! Bills Toupee has such amazing energy that really brought out the excitement of the whole wedding experience. "
Lauren, September 2011
" We had such a good time with you guys! The only thing I keep hearing from everyone is – best live band we have ever heard. "
Meg & Rob, September 2011
" Mike, we really loved the music and the band. You guys made us a hit! You gave our daughter the best wedding ever! She loved her night! Her friends RAVED! Our friends RAVED! My in laws RAVED! "
Mary, Mother of the bride
August 2011
Bill's Toupee is a pop/dance/cover band. We strive to sound like the original artists live, playing music that's relevant to all the generations that will be at your event. Michael Jackson to Bruno Mars, The Beatles to Robin Thicke, and most everything in between. We're not cheesy so there will be no chicken dance. (sorry) And we definitely don't over emcee. All five of us are all vocalists (4 sing lead) so no one beats our vocals for diversity and harmony. The band also comes with full LED stage lighting and a full-time sound engineer who controls the sound wirelessly from an ipad so our live sound is incredible! Laser lighting for the dance floor/ceiling is also available.
We are all long time regular permanent band members. We don't use substitutes. The band you see here has been the exact same players for over 8 years and most of us have been in the band for over 15 years. If one of the band members isn't available for your date, we don't book the band.
You'll no doubt run across many bands who bill themselves as the best band in their home area. While that's a matter of opinion, I can tell you that for over a decade there is no band that is more highly recommended by caterers, photographers, and satisfied clients than Bill's Toupee. Take a look at our testimonials page and see. Our job is to make you look good for hiring us! We are here to help you make the vision of your special day a reality.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Congratulations to Peter & Anna on their beautiful wedding day at The Roundhouse at Beacon Falls. Thanks for having us be a part of your special day!
We'd like to extend a BIG thank- you to Kate Arel, Venue Coordinator at The Kaaterskill for her vendor spotlight blog on Bill's Toupee. Thanks, Kate!
