"The concept of Offline is a party that brings all elements of New York club culture together with great music, diverse people and no bottle service," states Q-Tip. "I started the party last year as a monthly at Irving Plaza with great success, but now I'm happy to have found a home at Output in Williamsburg and can't wait to play my music on their house sound system." Maurice Bernstein, President/CEO of Giant Step adds, "This is the first weekly we have done since the original Giant Step parties over a decade ago, and only Q-Tip could have persuaded me to do it. I'm really excited to see it grow and flourish."
Legendary hip-hop innovator Q-Tip first rose to prominence in 1988 as one of the founders of the trailblazing hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest, whose cerebral wordplay, socially conscious themes, and intricate fusion of jazz and other genre-bending influences changed hip-hop's lexicon forever. After disbanding, Q-Tip launched his solo career with Amplified soon after. In 2008, he released his sophomore album, The Renaissance, which garnered widespread critical acclaim and the 2009 Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album. The long-awaited album Kamaal the Abstract was released in 2009 and was further proof of Q-Tip's jazz sensibilities and skilled musicianship. Q-Tip has recently become the newest addition to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music / Def Jam Recordings, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter of the Q-Tip story leading up to the release of his fourth solo album, The Last Zulu.

Q. How do you get before Riccardo Muti?
A. Practice, practice, practice.
For Giuseppe Verdi's Macbeth, which opens this weekend at Symphony Center, nearly three hundred people will come together under his baton; a chorus, an orchestra, and soloists who've collectively logged lifetimes in the practice room.
To perform a Verdi opera, chorus preparations begin weeks in advance. This will not be Chicago Symphony Chorus director Duain Wolfe's first opera with the Italian maestro. "It helps," he laughs. "There are fewer surprises." Nevertheless, he puts the CSC through wild unorthodoxies, ensuring malleability when Mr. Muti takes over.
One chorister admits, "When Muti comes out for that first rehearsal, it's terrifying—but it's amazing. He's incredible." For the wide-eyed alertness that his presence commands, Maestro Muti seizes the reigns in a rather low-key fashion, barely conducting, but for a dip of the shoulder, or toss of the head. He listens for a few minutes, assessing his chorus before getting to work. The Maestro seems pleased; much of the music is already there, like a pencil sketch awaiting pigment.
From there Mr. Muti leads them beyond the faithful execution of notes, into the unbounded array of color in Verdi that so profoundly mirrors the human experience. In the first witches' chorus, for example, there is a polish to the CSC sound that he doesn't like, "You see staccato, marcato. These are not from the publisher, these are Verdi's marks." Maestro Muti sings the phrase to the women; his tone is pointed, and harsh. They respond in kind. The witches in Macbeth are not to be beautiful. The journey begins.
In the next scene the basses belt out, "Pro Macbetto…"
The Maestro stops them, "Loud then soft." He sings it back to them, "Pro MacBetto…"
"Pro Macbetto…"
The atmosphere shifts, like a cloud covering the sun. Indeed, we learn the Thane of Cawdor is dead; the witches' prophecy is fulfilled. Still, the Maestro stops them again—one wonders, "That was amazing. What more could he want?"
But Maestro explains, "You are not a symphony chorus, but an opera chorus. Sing what you feel. You are not an army, but an individual—again!"
"Pro MacBetto…" In an instant, the sound switches to 3-D.
With hundreds of operas under his belt, Riccardo Muti sculpts a performance with lightning efficiency. For this chorus-only rehearsal he provides continuity by singing the lines of the principal characters himself (including that of Lady Macbeth). Often he'll sing to his chorus in the instant before an entrance, conveying the exact tone and affect, which they can echo. Their pencils take note, but the music continues. In this way he hones his concept with few interruptions. In fact, a violinist confided, "It's almost all from the podium. When he stops us, it's usually to crack a joke." For all his intensity, it's his bold sense of humor that seems to bring his musicians even deeper under his spell.
"Look at my face, and it will come naturally."
—Riccardo Muti, training his chorus
Musicians learn quickly to trust Maestro Muti, and to produce the information coming at them from his podium. Italian baritone, Luca Salsi, who will sing the role of Macbeth loves every minute he's singing for Mr. Muti, "He asks you with the eyes, with the face, with the hands; and you immediately know what he wants…I study a lot at home, the notes, the significance of the words—everything. He tells you something, and I think, 'Why didn't I see it?'…It's so simple, he's right."
The chorus rehearsal turns to Act 4, when the Scots rise up against the tyrant Macbeth:
"Oppressed land of ours! You cannot have
the sweet name of mother
now that you have become a tomb
for your sons."
Maestro Muti pauses, becoming reflective, "In this music, Verdi is making a statement about foreign domination." In fact, at the time Verdi was composing Macbeth, Italians were heading for an uprising against Austrian rule—a pathos which Maestro Muti folds right back into the performance.
Over the course of the rehearsals, there are a number of impressions, snapshots of the man who has spent a lifetime with Verdi. He doesn't suffer fools gladly, because the Truth in Verdi is to be found right on the page, in the relationship between the notes and the text. Understanding the Italian master doesn't come from some mystic oracle, but from intensive study of Verdi's scores. At one point, Maestro stops the singers, "Many conductors make the mistake of cutting this. They think it's funny. It's not funny. The color is very dark" (in essence, it's only funny if you conduct it that way).
Riccardo Muti challenges musicians to question their own understanding of the music, rather than to question the composer. Following Thursday's run-through, which brought together chorus, orchestra and soloists, he confessed he had witnessed some laziness over the years, a lack of commitment in the performance of early Verdi. "It pains me…One note can contain a universe" in Verdi. Verdi demands total commitment; and so does Riccardo Muti.

Two men were charged Sunday with attempted murder for the gang-related shooting of two men in west suburban Berwyn on Friday night.
Shawn Cassell, 24, of the 300 block of Lathrop in Forest Park; and Jonathan Morales, 23, of the 4600 block of 12th Place in Cicero were each charged with two counts of attempted murder, according to Berwyn police.
Cassell allegedly jumped out from behind a tree and shot two men with a .32 caliber semi-automatic weapon at 9:47 p.m. Friday in the 1200 block of East Avenue, a release from police said. He allegedly yelled out his street gang affiliation while shooting the men.
Cassell and Morales are documented members of the "Sin City Boyz" street gang, the release said.
A 28 year-old men was shot once in the left leg, and a 29-year old was shot multiple times, the release said. Both were taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood. One man was released Friday night while the other is still being treated.
Morales was the driver of the vehicle used in the shooting, police said. The weapon has not been recovered but shell casings were found at the scene.
Cassell and Morales were scheduled for a bond hearing Monday in Maywood.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

I'm always on the hunt for some healthy kids snacks! I try to keep sugar out of the house, my boys are already wild enough! These are our favorites for lunches, on the go and around the house.
Little Duck Organics makes yummy tiny fruits, great for kids 1+, no added sugar. Case still loves them and he is two. Flat pretzels are just cool cause they are flat…the salt + peppers ones get those little taste buds going. Who doesn't like goldfish? I like to buy the whole grain ones because you can't even tell the difference! Sunmaid raisins are a classic, not too many though or else. Pouches are perfect for those picky eaters (we have one over here) Great way to sneak those veggies in. Our faves are from Ella's Kitchen and GoGo Squeez. Did you know that they are now included in the kids meals at Arby's? Way better choice than fries. Speaking of potatoes…we are big fans of sweet potato chips. Food Should Taste Good's original flavor only has three ingredients! And our last favorite healthy snack to chomp on is Oat My Goodness granola, made with just a 1/4 of a cup of sugar! Jax loves the dried mango in the sunrise flavor. Oh and they will ship for free this week, so enter code OMGWAKEUP when you place your order!
What are your little one's favorite healthy snacks?
I'm sure you have a little artist in the family who is making masterpieces from cotton balls, empty toilet paper rolls, paper plates, and penne pasta. We do over here! They are the cutest, but just can't save them all. So I decided to make a book before the new school year begins. It will be a great way to document every year how their talents have grown. It is also an easy way to share with others without having to fumble a huge stack of greatness. The first step is to gather all the of finger painted, googly-eyed art, coloring pages and worksheets that you want to include and photograph them. Below are some tips that might help…
> take photos in a bright room with lots of natural light
> lay the artwork on a piece of white poster paper for consistency
> try turning off your flash
> a tripod can help keep your camera steady
Next step will be making the book…stay tuned for part two!
Chinos are not just for weddings and family photos. All those fun colors, I mean why not rock them all year? So before you put them in the hand-me-down pile because they are starting to look like highwaters or the knees are worn out, just alter them!
ALTERED NO. 2: THE CHINO CHOP (or cuff)
pair of chinos
scissors or fabric shears
1. Gather your supplies.
2. Cut to desired length, fray the ends. (washing will do the trick too!)
3. Trim any super long threads.
Note: Of course this will work with any type of pant, not just chinos. If you are hesitant about chopping, try the cuff…just fold each leg up twice.
As most of you parents know, kids outgrow clothes super fast! This style series is a way to share some simple ideas on how to alter your little one's clothes, style them in a new way + find a way to add a little life back to them…maybe they will start rocking those hand-me-downs! Whether it be dyed, bleached, chopped, painted, so many possibilities…ALTERED will be your helpful guide to style your little ones.
Look at this sweet shared room! I had to show you all since I was just discussing whether to move the boys together in one room or not. My long time internet, instagram, tumblr, mom friend, Amber of Eva & Owen and her family just recently moved, they live in Brisbane, Austraila. I think she did an awesome job creating a space for her little ones, Eva and Owen. Love that rug! Read what she says about their room…
After we sold our first home, we decided that once we moved, Eva and Owen would share a room. While they're not going to share a bedroom in the future, I like the idea of siblings having a shared space when they're little. The idea behind this decision was to also create a playroom, rather than two separate bedrooms. With the majority of their toys and puzzles in the playroom, this room is primarily used for sleeping and "quiet time" activities like reading. And for sentimental reasons, I love the Oliver Jeffer's print above Owen's cot. It's from one of my favourite Children's books The Way Back Home, which begins with "Once there was a boy…" I love that it evokes the idea of adventure and exploration.
I never really had a theme or idea of what I was going to create, so it has slowly evolved as I've added new pieces. The Oeuf mini library would have to be my favourite piece in their room. I'm a huge book lover, so this is perfect for storing some of their book collection, as well as a nice way to display some of their toys.
The biggest challenge with creating a girl / boy shared spaces was creating something that reflected each of their identities without having to be completely gender neutral. Eva's bedding is very girly using mismatching pink patterns from a variety of stores (Country Road, Serena & Lily, Dwell Studio and Land of Nod); whereas the artwork over Owen's cot and above the bookcase add a boyish element. I needed something to tie it all together, and the Gold Bar rug from Land of Nod seemed to fit perfectly.
Oeuf mini library / Leander cot/toddler bed / Land of Nod gold bar rug / Pinhole Press acrylic name frames / Domanyne bed frame / BlaBla knit pillows + dolls / pink wire basket / Adairs side table + lamp / whale print / octopus print / boy and boat print / geometric gem print / girl and boat print / to the moon and back print / metal 'e' letter / wicker baskets, thrifted / garland, diy using felt balls

Bangalore: The Art of Living International Centre in Bangalore, India, will host its sixth International Women's Conference (IWC) from February 7-9, 2014. The conference, inspired by H H Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, humanitarian and founder of The Art of Living Foundation, will bring together eminent personalities and women leaders from over 100 countries around the world. The theme of IWC2014 is 'Harmony - Evolution towards Perfection'. BhanumathiNarasimhan, Chairperson of IWC, explained that the challenges of our globalized world require innovative solutions to restore harmony, both at the societal and individual level. She said, "Caring and sharing are the foundation for harmony. As women, these qualities are inherent in us. We have the natural ability to unite diverse people in a family, and maintain harmony. We have to extend this ability, expand our circle of influence and reach out to more people who need our support. When we do this, the direct result is peace."
IWC provides a platform for women and key policy and decision makers to engage in dialogue and share best practices. The conference has two key agendas: advancing the status of women in fragile and post-conflict states and promoting girl child education.
The upcoming conference will highlight approaches that help individuals maintain harmony in challenging circumstances. It will explore ways to reinforce spirituality and human values in society as a means to establish harmony.
Says H H Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, "The role of women in the development of society is of utmost importance. In fact, it is the only thing that determines whether a society is strong and harmonious, or otherwise. Women are the backbone of society."
Women achievers and leaders will discuss ways to address societal challenges in a sustainable manner, taking the world from conflict to peace, from corruption to good governance, from crime toward non-violence and, ultimately, creating harmony between our inner selves and the outer world.
Every IWC recognizes and honors women with the prestigious Vishalakshi Awards, instituted in the memory of Sri Sri's mother. The recipients are selected from distinctive women who have contributed to the welfare of society and spearheaded change and created awareness on social issues. Interactive and informal discussions with speakers, meditation, yoga, cultural activities for all attendees will add to the flavour of the conference.
Eminent personalities from diverse fields participated in past IWCs including first ladies of Mauritius and Sri Lanka, Members of Parliament from Europe, Afghanistan, South Africa, ballet dancers from Russia, artists from Bulgaria, classical artists from India, and business, social and political leaders from over 100 countries.

|Fire truck in the Auglaize ruled mechanical failure
By BILL SHERRY
OAKWOOD – Last Friday, Aug. 10, a crew from the Oakwood Fire Department drove Engine #38 down to the Auglaize River boat ramp to test the pump mounted on the front of the fire truck. What happened next was the major topic of Oakwood Village Council's regular meeting on Monday.
Mayor Erhard "Bud" Henke stated that the truck had some problems with the pump at a fire the night before and the crew took it down to the river to see if they could figure out the problem. It was reported that the team had engaged the pump and was pumping water when they heard a loud "klunk" and the engine began moving forward, rolling over the wheel blocks set in front of the wheels, and proceeding down the boat ramp into the muddy Auglaize River, which was swift and muddy from recent rains.

The curtain-raising matchup for the 2012 NFL season between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants could serve as metaphor for the renewal of hostilities between Steven and me as we once again pit our prognosticating prowess against each other. On the one hand, you have an underachiever hoping that 2012 will be different than the disappointing 2011 effort (That would be Steven). On the other, you have a champion (Yours truly).Before we begin, let's go over the ground rules for our new readers. Our picks are based solely on game outcomes. No point spreads are considered. We also discourage our readers from using our picks for wagering. If you'd like to give your money away, Steven and I are far more worthy recipients than your bookie. So without further ado: Dallas at New York Giants- Steven: Cowboys – "Tony Romo is going to find the Giants a little easier to face without a constant pass rush coming after him. An improved secondary helps seal an opening victory over the defending champs." Chuck: Giants- "The Cowboys will regret letting Laurent Robinson go all season. Romo will make some big plays, but he'll chuck up a couple of ducks that will put the G-men over the top." Indianapolis at Chicago- Steven: Colts – "Why wait to get that first victory? Andrew Luck won't blow the doors off anything, but he's facing a defense that has Aaron Rodgers to worry about on short notice in week two. Let the real rookie hype begin." Chuck: Bears- "As much as I'd love to go with the Colts, that first win will have to wait a week. Luck is ahead of the curve, but Lovie Smith will have a few curves of his own to throw at the rookie. And until the Colts show me they can contain the run, I'm not picking them against a back like Matt Forte." Jacksonville at Minnesota- Steven: Vikings – "With no rushing attack to worry about, Minnesota should use its own by pounding Adrian Peterson at will. Sure, he may get hurt by the third quarter, but that was going to happen sooner or later." Chuck: Vikings- "It's a shame when these key matchups happen so early in the season. This game could decide the next year's number one overall draft pick. Later in the season would be more dramatic. Vikings win simply because they're at home." Buffalo at New York Jets- Steven: Jets – "I do believe the Jets are better than the preseason showed, and this week that will be good enough. Tim Tebow also scores a goal line touchdown and all seems right with the world." Chuck: Jets- "I think the Bills will be better than the Jets by the end of the season, but not on the road in week one." Miami at Houston- Steven: Texans –"A healthy Arian Foster is dangerous for the rest of the league. The Texans had possibly the top defense in the NFL last year, and a mostly one-dimensional Dolphins attack will help start to get back to that standing this year." Chuck: Texans- "Biggest mismatch of the week." New England at Tennessee- Steven: Titans – "Tennessee will be a surprise team this season, but a brutal schedule in the first half will wear them out. This is week one though, and an early upset is brewing." Chuck: Patriots- "The Titans are good enough to upset the Pats, but inconsistent enough to lose by three touchdowns. Jake Locker meet Tom Brady. Take notes." St. Louis at Detroit- Steven: Lions – "How exactly will Calvin Johnson be stopped this year?" Chuck: Lions- "Steven has started the season picking the Lions. See, he learned from last year." Washington at New Orleans- Steven: Saints – "Bounties, hurricanes and whatever else is over for the Saints. Finding a pass defense though hasn't ended yet, but the Robert Griffin III will have to use his legs to try and make it work this year." Chuck: Saints- "The Saints are in disarray and RGIII will put some numbers. Drew Brees will put up more. Take the over in this game." Philadelphia at Cleveland- Steven: Eagles – "This one feels closer than it looks, but how can you trust the Browns? I weep for you, Cleveland." Chuck: Eagles- "Another rookie QB makes his debut. Brandon Weeden won't be hearing any love from disgruntled Browns fans after the Eagles secondary rudely welcomes him to the NFL." Atlanta at Kansas City- Steven: Falcons – "As far as road wins go, this will be impressive. I think Matt Ryan has a terrific season." Chuck: Chiefs- "An early matchup of my two darkhorse Super Bowl teams. Matt Ryan is to to break out, but Kansas City is never an easy place to get a win. Ask Green Bay last year." San Francisco at Green Bay- Steven: Packers – "Not so quick anointing Green Bay on top of the NFC this year, but they pull out a close one in the best game of the opening week." Chuck: Packers- "This game should live up to its hype. Packers in a close one." Seattle at Arizona- Steven: Seahawks – "From the best game to the worst. Did the NFC West get banned from television yet? In any case, the Seahawks plan appears to involve blinding its opponents this season." Chuck: Seahawks- "If Brandon Weeden has the worst matchup for rookie quarterbacks, Russell Wilson has one of the best. The Seahawks could surprise some folks this year." Carolina at Tampa Bay- Steven: Panthers – "Can Carolina outscore everyone it faces? Tough schedule probably means it has to." Chuck: Buccaneers- "The Bucs were busy this off season. No NFL squad improved itself more than Tampa." Pittsburgh at Denver- Steven: Broncos – "Welcome back to football Peyton Manning. This just has a feeling of it finally being a down year for the Steelers." Chuck: Broncos- "Peyton Manning has a tough road ahead with the schedule. A home game against an aging Steelers defense is as good a place as any to start." Cincinnati at Baltimore- Steven: Bengals – "Cincinnati, not Baltimore is the favorite in the AFC North this year. A win on the road could lead to a 6-0 start to the year." Chuck: Bengals- "These two will battle for AFC North supremacy and meet to kick off and end the season. In between, it should be a good battle. The Ravens will miss Terrell Suggs and Jarrett Johnson (not to mention Cory Redding and Tom Zbikowski… and a guy named Pagano). San Diego at Oakland- Steven: Chargers – "Close call, but a slight edge goes to San Diego here as Oakland relies on too many big plays." Chuck: Raiders- "I'll have to find out who won this game on Tuesday, not because it's on too late. Chris Berman is doing the play-by-play. Can't ESPN bring back the games with no announcers?"

The death of a student at Flathead Valley Community College has many still searching for answers.
Sixty-year-old Peter Mahlum of Bigfork was a Vietnam War veteran using his benefits to pay for classes at FVCC.
Monday, September 23, around 8:30 a.m., officials say he took a fatal fall from scaffolding into a 55-gallon barrel off Hutton Ranch Road--right behind the round-a-bout--while he was working on a project with the Building Trade Program.
Although his family did not want to speak on camera, one of his two sons, Nick Mahlum, also a veteran, told ABC FOX Montana's Parker Collins that, in the family's eyes, it truly was an accident, as of now. They are still waiting for more details to be released from the ongoing investigation.
"At this time we know it's an accident and there's an investigation ongoing," said Jane Karas, the president of FVCC.
Building Trade Program classes did not meet today and will not resume until the investigation is complete.
"We're just very sorry and our thoughts and prayers are with the family," said Karas, "It was a very sad, tragic incident."
The family is in the process of planning a private memorial service for a man who, according to Nick Mahlum, was "a wonderful father."
Peter Mahlum was taken to Kalispell Regional Medical Center right after the incident, where he was pronounced dead.

Volleyball opens home slate vs. Presbyterian on Friday
After playing some of the best teams in the nation on the road, the JU volleyball team finally gets to enjoy the comforts of home starting Friday versus Presbyterian in Swisher Gymnasium at 7 p.m.
The Dolphins (5-4) continue the home stand throughout the weekend against South Carolina State on Saturday at 6 p.m. and on Sunday against Savannah State at 1 p.m. All three opponents will also play at UNF in the Best Western Invitational.
"We're all excited to be playing our first home match of the year," JU head coach Shaun Kupferberg said. "Hopefully we can continue to build on what we started last week."
After dropping three of the first four matches to start the season, the Dolphins bounced back last week with a 4-1 record against quality opponents.
The Dolphins begin the week with a 3-2 win at Bethune-Cookman, but suffered a 3-0 loss to No. 9 Florida to begin the Campus USA Credit Union Invitational. JU gained momentum following the Florida loss to hand Clemson its first loss of the season in five sets, while also securing victories against Florida Atlantic (3-0) and Florida A&M (3-1).
Sophomore Taylor Nyquist was a big part of JU's momentum swing after recording 65 kills (3.42 K/S), 38 digs and six blocks in 19 sets. After notching six kills vs. No. 9 Florida, she exploded for 21 kills and 17 digs to help lead the Dolphins past Clemson. She followed it up with a 14 kills and six blocks against FAU to earn all-tournament honors.
The Blue Hose (0-5) will play South Carolina State earlier in the day before coming to Swisher Gymnasium. Prebyterian only secure one set in is three matches at Arizona's tournament last weekend.
Presley Mabrey has 53 kills in five matches to lead the Blue Hose and Ashtin Frank has recorded 148 assists.
The Bulldogs (4-3) enter the week on a four-match winning streak after taking all of their matches at the Spikefest Tournament in Orangeburg, S.C.
Desiree Waller has 63 kills to lead the Bulldogs. Shabree Roberson is in a close second with 56 kills to go along with 25 blocks.
Like Presbyterian, the Tigers (0-5) are also winless in their first few matches and have yet to win a set all season.
Bryana Gadis leads the offense with 14 kills and Bianca Helton has 13 kills and a team-best five blocks.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Tuesday morning, more than 60 South Plains residents are home after being in the middle of the Times Square bomb scare.
Covenant Radiology assistant Paula De Larrosa left for a company trip to New York City with dozens of other Covenant employees Thursday night. All the employees with their friends and family were staying at the Marriott on Times Square and on Saturday, she caught something on camera she will never forget.
"We had just gotten come back from Ground Zero. We were just looking all over the city. Then we we're just sitting there in front of the hotel," said De Larrosa.
Without realizing what she was catching on video, De Larrosa says she heard three loud booms. "
"I thought it was gun shots, so when I heard that I saw all this crowd running where we were and they were just taking down tables and trash cans. I ran because I didn't want to get stomped," she said.
The video shows the crowd running right at De Larrosa. She quickly turned and began running with them. "I was scared. I didn't know what was going on. I thought maybe it was shooting," she said.
De Larrosa and her co-workers went to a nearby McDonalds and kept watching from the second floor. After a while police began pushing the crowd back and barricading streets.
"We had to evacuate two blocks. The officer said we had to go out of McDonalds farther away because it was a bomb," said De Larrosa.
She then said people began panicking and started running out of McDonalds, and that's when she lost her co-workers.
"I was just by myself wondering around. It was a frightening experience." Eventually she caught back up with her group and had to continue waiting for hours until police allowed them back into the hotel.
"I am so glad that everybody got back safe to Lubbock," said De Larrosa.
Also on that trip, Covenant Guest Services Gail Spivey was stuck in a crowd during the bomb scare.
"There were some really pushy people. You just had to trust that the people in charge were handling things, so I really wasn't afraid," said Spivey.
Spivey was a little farther from the action but said she spoke to Lance Orton, the street vendor that alerted police to the smoking SUV.
"I talked to him on Sunday. Very nice man, he and his partner were both Vietnam veterans. Very humble and he was just of the mind that when you see something funny, you just take action, and he says that's all he did, I just took some action," said Spivey.
Both women say even though their trip hit a speed bump, all the employees had a great time and would love to go back to New York.

The Philadelphia Union were about three inches away from an equalizer, but that pesky crossbar for in the way. In the 87th minute with the Union still down 2-1 to the Houston Dynamo, Freddy Adu found the ball from 20 yards in search of some way to get his team an equalizer. He did it too, lofting an inch-perfect ball to Jack McInerney. The 19-year-old did well, rising up and heading the ball past the outstretched arm of Tally Hall. The ball looked bound for the net as the game-tying goal. It never made it to the net though. Instead it just clanged off the crossbar.
With a second leg awaiting these two teams in Houston, the Union need to get a goal here. To lose the first leg at home makes advancement near impossible and they almost had that goal they needed to avoid losing...then it clanged off the crossbar.

BAYOU CORNE, La. (AP) - Officials say 11 new bubble sites have been found in inundated swampland west of an 8.5-acre sinkhole in northern Assumption Parish.
The sites are roughly in a row west of an unnamed oilfield access road extending south from La. 70 South through the wooded swamp.
The sites bring to 34 the number of known bubble sites in the Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou areas in the vicinity of the sinkhole on Texas Brine Co. LLC's leased property.
Scientists think the Houston-based company's salt cavern in the Napoleonville Dome failed deep underground, causing the sinkhole and unleashing oil and natural gas from formations along the salt dome face. That free gas is thought to be surfacing through many bubble sites and the sinkhole.

Sandro Botticelli Biography
SANDRO BOTTICELLI, or, to use his original name, Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi, was born at Florence in the year 1447. His father was a citizen in comfortable circumstances; and Vasari tells us that Sandro, the youngest of Mariano's four sons, was educated with great care, and ' ' instructed in all such things as children are usually taught before they choose a calling. " But the boy's strong will first showed itself in a violent distaste to learning. He was constantly discontented and absolutely refused to give his attention to reading, writing, and accounts, says Vasari; until at last his father, despairing of ever turning him into a scholar, placed him in the shop of a goldsmith named Botticello, a great friend of his and an excellent workman, who prom- ised to teach the boy his trade.
Sandro was destined for higher things, and soon showed the artistic bent of his genius; but this early training in the goldsmith's shop was not thrown away. He took from his first master not only the name by which he has become famous, but the precision of line and patient attention to detail which marked all his work in after-life. From him too he learned that use of gold which he turned to such good account hi his painting, as we see in the foliage of his backgrounds, in his boy-angels' rippling hair, and the embroidered tissue of his Virgin's robes. But he did not remain many years with Botticello. At a time when Antonio Pollaiuolo and Andrea Verrocchio were goldsmiths as well as painters, there was natur?lly a good deal of intercourse between the men of both crafts. Before long Sandro was seized with so passionate a desire to embrace the profession of an artist that his father, knowing the force of the boy's inclinations, placed him with the Carmelite monk, Fra Filippo Lippi, then one of the first masters in Florence. This time Sandro had found his vocation. He devoted himself earnestly to his new studies, and soon attained a degree of perfection which no one had expected from the wayward, eccentric boy." By the time of Fra Filippo's death Sandro, although only twenty-two years of age, had already acquired the reputation of being the best painter in Florence. .""". .
The same year that Filippo died the young Lorenzo de' Medici succeeded to the government of Florence, and from the first showed Botticelli a generous and liberal patronage, which was never afterwards withdrawn. Through his friendship Sandro was now introduced to the eminent scholars whom Lorenzo loved to collect around him. We are inclined to wonder how the youth who would not learn to read and write fared hi this company. But at whatever time of his life Sandro acquired that knowledge of classical learning which his works unfold, he possessed in a rare degree the feeling for beauty that was sufficient in itself to form a close link with the scholars of the Renaissance. . . .
Besides the Madonnas, with which we are accustomed to 1 associate Botticelli's name, he executed at this period other works on a larger scale. Commissions came to him from all sides, and the fifteen years which elapsed between Fra Filippo's death and Sandro's return from Rome mark a period of great productive energy in his life, during which many of his finest works, both hi painting and engraving, were executed.
Botticelli's love for his scholars, and for all devoted to art, is mentioned by more than one writer. Filippino Lippi, in whom he saw the son of the master to whom he owed his own training, was the best beloved of all his pupils, while this same sympathy fbl rising artists drew him to one many years younger than himself, but already famous, Michelangelo Buonarrotti. . . .
It is curious to learn from Vasari that Botticelli, who seems to us so intensely in earnest, delighted in jesting, and indulged in wild practical jokes at the expense of his scholars and friends which made the walls of the workshop ring with laughter. But for all that a vein of deep melancholy runs through his works, and even when he most wished to be gay, he is sad, as it were, in spite of himself. . . . He loved everything that was fair, the shape of the opening rose, the changing ripples on the waves, the grace of the human form; and yet his imagination is ever beating against the walls of this life, asking what lies without, and whither we are tending. This it was which led him to the study of Dante, this which in later years made him lend a willing ear to Savonarola's warnings. This element of sadness becomes more evident in his mythological paintings than in his Madonnas, where its presence is more in harmony with the subject before him. He had breathed new life and meaning into the old forms of mediaeval art, and now he was called upon to illustrate those classic myths that were the delight of Renaissance scholars. The beauty of both worlds was equally clear to him, and Lorenzo, quick at discerning the capabilities of the men around him, employed Botticelli to decorate his palace with Greek myths, of which the most generally known is the " Birth of Venus " -now in the Uffizi. Besides allegorical subjects he was ordered by Lorenzo to paint several altar-pieces, many of which are still to be seen in the churches and galleries of Florence. Probably most of these works were painted before his visit to Rome, but the only one which bears any date is the fresco of St. Augustine hi the church of Ognissanri, painted in 1480. Soon afterwards he was summoned to Rome, together with Ghirlandajo and Perugino, by Pope Sixtus IV., to adorn his newly erected chapel in the Vatican.
The wide reputation which Botticelli had by this time attained appears from his appointment as chief superintendent of the works. His share in the actual execution of the frescos, however, was limited to three of the large subjects, and the earlier portraits of the series of twenty-eight Popes, which are still to be seen on the upper part of the wall. Of the twelve frescos in which scenes from the life of Moses on one wall and from the life of Christ on the other are represented, the three which fell to Sandro's share were "Moses in the Land of Midian," the "Temptation of Christ," and the "Destruction of Korah." But while he was employed on these frescos of the Sistine Chapel, Pope Sixtus IV. died, the works were interrupted, and Sandro returned to Florence.
Before his visit to Rome he had made his first essay in the art of engraving, and be sides supplying designs for the illustrated edition of Dante published at Florence in 1 482 by Baldini, had himself executed several of the plates. His devotion to the study of the Divine Poet was a remarkable feature of his character, and the engravings show how thoroughly the painter entered into the poet's thoughts. . . .
The last years of Lorenzo de' Medici's life witnessed a marked change in the thoughts and feelings of the Florentines. In 1 490 the Dominican friar, Fra Girolamo Savonarola, came to Florence, and, by the eloquence of his preaching and the boldness of a zeal which knew no respect of persons, commanded general attention. The chosen friends of Lorenzo's circle, and most renowned scholars of his court, were among the multitude who flocked to hear him, and of all classes in Florence none embraced the new doctrines with greater enthusiasm than the artists. Sandro threw himself heart and soul into the work of the great revival, and, in Vasari's words, became "a zealous piagnone." [A name given to Savonarola's followers, signifying weeper, mourner, or grumbler.]
A striking proof of his constancy to the memory of Savonarola, and his firm belief in the ultimate accomplishment of the friar's prophecies, remain in his famous picture of the " Nativity," which he painted in 1500, and which plainly refutes Vasari's assertion, that in this religious frenzy he gave up painting altogether. If, after that, he painted other pictures, we hear no more of them; soon, we know, he sank into premature old age, worn out by the ceaseless toil of hand and brain. We have Vasari's melancholy picture of the old man forced to go on crutches, unable to stand upright, and depending for his bread on the charity of others. So he lingered on till the 5th of May, 1510, when death at length brought him his well-earned rest, and he was buried in his father's tomb in the old parish church of Ognissand.
Such, so far as our uncertain knowledge can show, were the chief features of Sandro Botticelli's life. In the breadth and richness of his culture, in the varied character of the subjects which he chose, in the greatness of his aims, and the mystical bent of his genius, he is in an especial manner the representative in art of the age of the Medici, and embodies for us the varied elements and conflicting ideas of that memorable period.
BOTTICELLI was the only painter of Italy who understood the thoughts of heathens and Christians equally, and could in a measure paint both Aphrodite and the Madonna. So that he is, on the whole, the most universal of painters; and take him all in all, the greatest Florentine workman.
IT is very difficult to write impartially of Botticelli. Those whom he pleases at all are apt to love him to excess and see in his works all possible and impossible perfections; while those who are not touched by his peculiar charm are disposed to look upon him as merely quaint and curious. The truth lies between these two extremes. He is not a great master like Raphael and Leonardo, but he has a singular and personal fascination that marks him as one apart, and gives him a niche in the temple of fame that is all his own. His works are like certain music that strikes a responsive chord only in particular hearts, but a chord that vibrates with an intense and special harmony. He who has caught its singular charm has a joy of his own forever, but he must not blame his neighbor upon whose ear it jars. . . .
No artist has had greater vicissitudes of fame. In his prime he was the favorite painter of the brilliant court of Lorenzo the Magnificent, but with the death of his illustrious patron he sank under the influence of Savonarola, so inimical to his genius, and in his old age he was eclipsed by the glories of Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael. He was almost forgotten when at length he passed away in poverty and neglect, and he seemed consigned to hopeless oblivion when Mr. Ruskin and the English preRaphaelites proclaimed his greatness and made him the object of a cult that is extending every day. His pictures, little prized forty years ago, are now sought for with infinite eagerness, and are numbered among the most precious gems of the richest galleries.
One reason of the high regard in which he is now held is the prevailing practice of studying art historically. No artist represents so perfectly a particular moment in history. He stands at the exact point where the mediaeval is aspiring toward the classical with infinite but ineffectual desire. In him the Middle Age stretches out its arms with unutterable yearning toward the goddess of Grecian beauty rising again resplendent from the sea, but she still eludes its grasp. He belongs to the time when men kept lamps burning before the bust of Plato as before the Virgin's shrine, yet failed to grasp the essence of Hellenic culture. In a little while the full day is to burst upon them, revealing shapes of classic purity that are to be preserved by Raphael's and by Titian's brush. But Botticelli's contemporaries are still in the early dawn, lit up by a dim and misty light through which the radiant forms of the Grecian goddesses look thin and pale. . . .
Though one of the worst anatomists, he is one of the greatest draughtsmen of the Renaissance. This may seem a contradiction in terms when applied to a painter who dealt so largely with the nude, yet it is true. The anatomy of his figures is usually wretched.
Yet he is one of the greatest masters of the single line that ever lived. He treats the human body simply as a pattern for a living arabesque. As a lineal decorator he stands supreme. In point of color he is perhaps the best of the Florentine school, sometimes bright, usually harmonious, nearly always charming. Yet he subordinates coloring so thoroughly to the line that his pictures have been described as tinted drawings. The tendency of color is usually toward the obliteration of the outline. With him it serves only to accentuate it. In these days when it is the fashion to confound the distinction between the arts, his pictures may be described as symphonies of lines. And all of them are lines of grace. Such harmonious curves it would be difficult to find elsewhere. Frequently they are false to nature, an outrage upon the human anatomy, and to appreciate them we must forget how men are made, and look upon them merely as parts of an arabesque design. We shall then perceive that as lineal decorations they are endowed with a wonderful beauty.
Another merit which he possesses in an extraordinary degree is the presentation of movement. His figures are all in motion or ready to move. It is not a strong movement dependent upon muscular power, it is the light, quick, graceful movement whose seat is in the nerves. His walking figures nearly all rest lightly on the ball of the foot in a position that they could not retain for a moment. They are like instantaneous photographs taken when motion is at the highest point of its curve. And this motion is always graceful. However bad the figures may be in point of anatomy, they always move with an exquisite rhythm. Indeed, the grace of their movements is enhanced by their very imperfection. When we see motion in a body of perfect outline, its grace is only what we expect, and our attention is attracted most by the plastic beauty of the form itself. But when we see these thin, ill-drawn bodies moving so gracefully, it strikes us with all the force of a surprise, and there being no plastic loveliness to charm the eye, we surrender ourselves entirely to the sense of grace. . . .
He is the painter of the breeze. In his pictures it blows continually, sometimes quaintly represented as issuing from the wind-god's mouth, sometimes as only revealed in the flutter of garments a flutter in which is expressed all the buoyant joy and vitality of the zephyr. No one has ever depicted so faithfully or so daintily the effects of the breeze playing with a woman's vestments.
And what vestments they are! Sometimes heavy, sometimes light, sometimes mere gauzy draperies that only serve to enhance the rhythmic grace of the moving limbs, they fall or flutter in delightful folds, and are usually adorned with those delicious embroideries which were only produced in their perfection during the Middle Ages, when time was a matter of no importance, and when a handmaid would spend years in the beautifying of a garment, as a monk would pass his life in the illumination of a missal. Embroideries so fanciful or so charming have never been depicted by the brush. And however classical the subject, it is clothed in these quaintly beautiful draperies of the Middle Ages undreamed of by the Greeks.
He was the painter of small groups and of single figures. In a large field he lost himself. His great frescos in the Sistine Chapel are charming in many of their details, but the composition is confusing a confusion heightened by the insertion into one picture of successive episodes of the same story, so that it is only with great labor that we can make out the meaning; and they can scarcely be said to have a general plan. He is like many writers who can tell a short story well, but cannot handle the complicated threads of a long romance. Within his narrow limitations his composition is pleasing, but when he attempts it on too large a scale we see that he has overpassed his powers. . . .
He is one of the most poetical of all painters, with a quaint, sweet poetry that we love sometimes beyond its merits, like some of the old lyrics of Elizabethan and Stuart days, so naive, so touching, so full of delicate fancies and pleasing affectations, and possessed of a haunting rhythm and a delightful freshness that can never be forgotten. They, too, sing of Grecian gods with the same spirit of mediaeval phantasy, striving with the same unsuccess to grasp the spirit of Ovid or Theocritus. The painters of his day were mostly realists, but Botticelli was a poet and a dreamer, living apart in a fairyland of his own creation.

A few people thought the city's purchase of the baseball stadium was a good idea. Most did not. Lovejoy was among those who were opposed. In her words:
"Wow. We can purchase AutoZone Park on a whim but can't afford to pay our teachers or put money into our school system for our kids, much less pay our police and fire departments their due pensions. They put their lives on the line every day. I'm amazed at the priorities of this poorly governed city. I'm sure I as well as many others will remember this come election time. Time for a real change in this city. Time to clean house."

WWE SmackDown returns to SyFy this coming Friday night (May 3, 2013) from Detroit, Michigan but the show was taped, as usual, on Tuesday night (Apr. 30). That means full spoilers are readily available, if you're the impatient type who doesn't want to wait a couple days for the payoff.
Unwrap that present early (via prowrestling.net):
-- Ryback kicks off this episode with an in ring promo. Many in the crowd will chant Feed Me More, yet others will adamantly boo him.
-- Ryback vs. Daniel Bryan: The Big Hungry defeats Daniel Bryan in 14:00, via the Shellshocked. D-Bry helps elevate the match to a decent rating, despite having to work with Ryback.
-- Renee Young interviews Ricardo Rodriguez, who speaks rapid Spanish. Alberto Del Rio calms him down.
-- Fandango vs. Zack Ryder: The dancing pop icon defeats Zack Ryder in 3:00, via the top rope leg drop. The crowd attempts to Fandango, but it won't get over all that well.
-- Ricardo Rodriguez vs. Zeb Colter: The match ends in a no-contest, via outside interference from Jack Swagger. Dolph Ziggler assists on commentary with AJ Lee and Big E Langston nearby. Alberto Del Rio clears Swagger out of the ring. Just then, Teddy Long comes out to make a tag team match.
-- Alberto Del Rio & Ricardo Rodriguez vs. Jack Swagger & Zeb Colter: The latest version of this tag match ends in a no-contest, but this time due to outside interference from Ziggler and Big E. So, then Teddy comes out to make it a Triple Threat tag team match.
-- Alberto Del Rio & Ricardo Rodriguez vs. Jack Swagger & Zeb Colter vs. Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston in a Triple Threat tag match: Del Rio & Rodriguez defeat Swagger/Colter & Ziggler/Langston via Del Rio getting Ziggler to tap to the Cross Armbreaker.
-- The Shield will beat up Daniel Bryan backstage, prior to cutting a promo. Kane will indicate that they will pay later.
-- Randy Orton vs. Damien Sandow: The Viper defeats Sandow in 8:00, via an RKO. Post-match, Big Show will make an appearance, in order to let Orton know he's not a team player, and he's the reason they lost their WrestleMania XXIX match. Sandow will take this moment to hit the Apex Predator from behind with his finisher while Big Show looks on and laughs at his expense.
-- There will also be an arm wrestling contest between Mark Henry and Sheamus. Mark Henry will win the first match. Sheamus then gets on the mic and says Mark has the stronger right arm, but he doesn't have the stronger left. They will go at again, this time with their left arms of course, and Sheamus will then punch Henry in the face and Brogue kick him.
-- Dean Ambrose vs. Kane: The leader of The Shield will defeat Kane in 13:00. Kane however does give a beat down to all of the members of Shield, throwing Reigns into the announce table prior to the start of the match. The match itself will be somewhat of a back and forth affair with Kane hitting the chokeslam and attempting the tombstone. The Shield interferes so Ambrose can get the pin, using a finisher similar to MVP's Playmaker.
-- Post-match, The Shield will then go on to attack Kane as a united force. Kane will put up a good fight, but Roman Reigns will Spear him just before they Triple PowerBomb him. The Shield will then grab the Tag Titles (presumably also taking D-Bry's earlier in the night when they attack him) in order to pose with them as an epic conclusion to the night.
-- Sheamus & Randy Orton vs. Big Show & Mark Henry (yes, again). Sheamus & Orton will win via Brogue Kick/RKO combo to send the crowd home happy.
That's the show, Cagesiders. Whether you Believe in The Shield or not, there's no way you're not tuning in on Friday night, right? Be sure to watch for our SmackDown Preview post first thing Friday morning, and then join us at 8 p.m. ET for our SmackDown Live Blog. Then, on Saturday, check back right here at CSS for a SmackDown Video Playlist and our full Results and Reactions post dissecting the show for you as well.

You know, I made a comment yesterday that I thought the officiating in the South Carolina game was pretty good, and I still do for the most part, but one call they got wrong ultimately cost us Mike Hartline.
I had forgotten about it, but on the play on which Mike Hartline was injured by a blitzing USC cornerback, Kentucky was flagged for a procedural penalty. Instead of whistling the play dead like they are supposed to, the officials allowed it to proceed, resulting in the injury. So their failure to properly blow the play dead was directly responsible for the contact that resulted in Hartline's injury. Talk about mistakes having consequences.
As of this morning, there is no official word on Hartline's injury, but Brooks is expecting the worst. The very best we could hope for is an MCL injury, but I would be surprised if that's all it was. But in any event, we should have the results of the MRI back fairly soon. We'll know later today, and Brooks is scheduled for a presser around 1:00 PM today.
Now, for the news:

Spurrier will never lose to Cats | courier-journal.com | The Courier-Journal
The Wildcats played with enough poise and grit to make eight third-down conversions and two more on fourth down.
They simply didn't win. They never have against Steve Spurrier. I don't believe they ever will.
"Ever?" Really, Rick?
UK awaits Hartline MRI | KentuckySports.com
UK Coach Rich Brooks said the preliminary diagnosis suggests an MCL injury. If that's the case, Hartline could be sidelined two to four weeks. If there's an ACL injury and/or cartilage damage, Hartline would likely miss the rest of the season.
It sure would be great if it were just an MCL, but based on what I saw, I would be very surprised.

Now he wants you to believe him when he tells you, the fans, that everything you've heard is true. The hype, the preseason rankings, the ridiculous dunks John Wall throws down in practice every day – they're all true.

Perhaps "Wildcat" Wally Clark spoke for many fans when he predicted big success this coming season.

Even while I applaud the passion, I must also bemoan the insanity of such a comment.

Chizik signals depth distress - al.com
Chizik was not in a warm and fuzzy mood Sunday, and he took pains to avoid excuse-making. That said, he predicted that Auburn's depth issues on defense and special teams will only grow more pressing.

Cobb at QB not the right answer | KentuckySports.com
So give Fidler a shot. Give him reps, coach him up at practice, tweak the game-plan to suit his strengths. Get Newton ready, if not for Saturday's game at Auburn, then for some possessions the following three weeks when Louisiana-Monroe, Mississippi State and Eastern Kentucky come to Commonwealth.
The Cats gave in to the Cobb-at-quarterback urge last season. This season, it's time to fight that urge.
I'm inclined to agree with this, at least at the moment, and I'm fairly sure that's what we'll see.

KU officials deserve pat on the back / LJWorld.com
Consider the blase reactions at places like Florida State, where good old Bobby Bowden has goshed-and-gollied away so many dubious football program activities.

Could Kansas wind up being the new Duke, hated by everyone? They are working on it pretty hard.
U of M refutes NCAA decision on basketball penalties " The Commercial Appeal
Memphis' appeal, which was obtained by The Commercial Appeal through the Freedom of Information Act, calls the NCAA's use of that rationale a "procedural error" that is not supported by current NCAA legislation. Furthermore, the school argues that by upholding the penalties given to Memphis under the "strict-liability" standard, it sets a precedent that "will apply to (future) situations that do not warrant such treatment and could result in outcomes unacceptable to the Division 1 membership."
Memphis' argument sounds convincing. I hope it succeeds. Via Fanhouse

Legends Arcana (RPG)
10,000 - 50,000 downloads
- Easy to learn
- 16bit graphics and animations might not be of your liking
- it could have more different and more spectacular monsters

A retro-like dungeon crawler
Legends Arcana might disappoint a little bit when you first run it, because a 16bit graphics dungeon crawler isn't what you usually expect to play in the year 2013. However, you'll soon discover it's really enjoyable and very easy to learn, so perhaps we should recommend it to newcomers to the genre instead of hardcore gamers already used to this kind of stuff.
Skill trees and the array of monsters and items is acceptable, though far from other blockbusters. The storyline, presented in comic strips is appreciated. In short, everything does what it should do, but controls, which are too "squared" as they must stick to the invisible tiles the map is made of.
Anyway, a lovely old school dungeon crawler with a few RPG elements (namely XPs and the like). This paid version helps Little Killers, its developer to create new updates and improve the game.

Great dungeon crawler. Has pets and cool stuff.
It will only repeat the two "loading screens". I have an s3 with the jelly bean. Tried restarting my phone.. To no prevail. Please address this issue until then I will keep my rating. I am in love with another game from you is the reason I won't ask for a refund at this time..
Hours of fun.
Thank you for this.

Yesterday Bello Magazine posted a preview of a BTS shoot of Tom (probably) did for next issue on their instagram, Tom looks very handsome, hope we can get more photos from this shoot soon!
Deadline – TNT has greenlit Murder in the First, a new scripted drama from Emmy®-winner Steven Bochco and starring Taye Diggs (Private Practice) and Kathleen Robertson (Boss). Co-created by Bochco and Eric Lodal (The Locrian Mode), Murder in the First also stars Tom Felton (Harry Potter), Mimi Kirkland (Safe Haven), Raphael Sbarge (Once Upon a Time), Ian Anthony Dale (Hawaii Five-0), Bess Rous (What Just Happened) and Steven Weber (Dallas, Wings).
TNT has ordered 10 episodes of Murder in the First, which is being produced by TNT Originals. Bochco serves as executive producer, with Lodal as co-executive producer. The series is slated to premiere on TNT in summer 2014. TBS International will handle distribution to regions outside the United States and Canada.
Set in San Francisco, Murder in the First will follow a single case across an entire season. The drama centers on homicide detectives Terry English (Diggs) and Hildy Mulligan (Robertson) as they investigate the murder of an apparent drug addict. The mystery deepens, however, when the victim is found to have a connection to Silicon Valley wunderkind Erich Blunt (Felton), the celebrated CEO of a cutting-edge tech firm. The timing couldn't be worse for Blunt, who is preparing to take his company public. He's also being sued by a software developer who claims Blunt stole his code for a revolutionary new hologram system.
DirectTV released another behind the scenes video and a full trailer of Tom's upcoming tv series, Full Circle. Watch the videos below.
Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and the all-star cast of Amma Asante's drama praise the director for attention to detail in their movie.
"I would say she is a genius. She is so direct in what she wanted and I don't think there is any fat on the movie whatsoever," says Sam Reid.
