JAZZ FESTIVAL: From mild to wild
Jazz festival lineup features crowd-pleasing favourites and envelope-pushing innovators
From legendary jazz/R&B guitarist George Benson to Rudresh Mahanthappa's exciting saxophone to Patricia Barber's unique vocals to British saxophonist Courtney Pine to the roots of New Orleans' Preservation Hall Jazz Band to the hip-hop of The Roots, this year's jazz festival offers a strong mainstage lineup.
Jazz singer Jane Monheit and blues/soul singer Betty LaVette round out the theatre series shows at the TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival, which runs June 13-23 at various venues.
The festival's schedule and nearly 100 performers were announced Friday by Jazz Winnipeg.
"I really feel there's something for everyone this year," executive producer Paul Nolin says in announcing the lineup. "We've been able to strike a balance between cutting edge and familiar favourites. I try to program for all audiences.
"Some years are easier than others for programming, but I worked really hard to get this lineup locked into place," he says.
Rudresh Mahanthappa's Gamak (June 17, West End Cultural Centre) falls on the cutting-edge side and promises to be one of the fest's most exciting, energetic shows.
Alto saxophonist Mahanthappa mixes western jazz with traditional Indian music and his band includes vibrant guitarist David (Fuze) Fiuczynski, bassist Rich Brown and drummer Dan Weiss.
There is no one in jazz quite like pianist-singer Barber: no one matches her lyrics, the melodies she writes to match those lyrics, or her musical inventiveness.
Her June 18 WECC performance will be a musical and linguistic adventure.
Courtney Pine (June 22, WECC) -- who plays saxophone, flute, clarinet, bass clarinet and keyboards -- has pushed the boundaries of jazz in the U.K. during his decades-long career.
"Courtney is one of the first jazz CDs I ever bought (as a teenager)," Nolin says, and he is glad to be able to book him.
George Benson (June 23, Burton Cummings) has faced criticism from jazz police for turning from his early jazz chops to a more popular R&B-fused sound, but he plays the guitar brilliantly and puts on a great show, almost a revue.
"Benson will be a crowd-pleaser, no matter what," Nolin says.
During her 10-year recording career, Jane Monheit (June 21, Burton Cummings Theatre) has made a name for herself interpreting the great songs of jazz. Bettye LaVette (June 19, Burton Cummings Theatre) has performed for five decades, and has been on a roll since a 2004 comeback.
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band (June 20, Burton Cummings) takes its name from the venerable French Quarter building and maintains the spirit of early N'Awlins music.
The Roots (June 22, Centennial Concert Hall), known as the house band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on top of a successful recording and performing career, were a hit at their 2010 festival show.
In booking performers such as Barber and Mahanthappa into the WECC, Nolin says, "We've found a rhythm." The smaller venue carries less risk and allows the fest to book acts that fall outside the mainstream.
The Burton Cummings Theatre worked well last year, he says, and "it feels good with 600 people, but I can get up to 1,600 if tickets sales warrant it."
The festival opens Thursday, June 13 with the annual free opening weekend in Old Market Square with bands performing until midnight or 1 a.m. The theatre (mainstage) series runs June 17-23 with shows at the WECC, Burton Cummings Theatre and Centennial Concert Hall.
The club series runs June 17-22 at seven venues, five of which Nolin calls the new jazz district. The Free Press News Café, The King's Head, Rachel Browne Theatre, Cinematheque and The Cube Lounge are within two blocks of Old Market Square, making it easier for fans to club-hop, Nolin adds.
"We made an effort to tighten things up near Old Market Square (as) we were spread out geographically before," Nolin adds. The jazz district makes it easier to push the festival atmosphere.
Club shows also are at the Pyramid Cabaret and Times Change(d) High and Lonesome Club.
Festival-goers can buy a new super pass, a club pass and one-day wristbands; details are available at jazzwinnipeg.com.
Tickets for the TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival go on sale Thursday, April 18, at 10 a.m. at jazzwinnipeg.com, 204-989-4656 and at the Jazz Winnipeg office (007-100 Arthur St.). Tickets for Burton Cummings Theatre and Centennial Concert Hall shows are also available at Ticketmaster. Tickets for The Roots show, which was announced earlier, are on sale now.

Wherever Jose Mourinho goes, controversy is never far behind. The man is pure box office. You would have thought that after a glorious 0-4 victory in the Amsterdam Arena against one of Europes sleeping giants that Jose would be allowed to bask in glory for a day or two before the Clasico preparations kick in. Well you'd be wrong. Instead the special one finds himself in the middle of a debate about whether or not it is fair for a team to force yellow cards. During tonights encounter, Mourinho sent reserve keeper Jerzy Dudek scuttling along to Iker Casillas to pass on a message. Casillas then whispered sweet nothings into the ears of Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso. In the last five minutes of the match both players recieved second yellow cards for time wasting. Yes, time wasting when 0-4 up. No prizes for guessing what went down. Both players forced the ref to send them off. Fair play or foul play?
For there really can be no doubt about both players intentions. At that stage of the match and with that scoreline, both players were acting under instruction. An instruction to force yellow cards, thus ruling themselves out of the final (meaningless) group match against Auxerre, ready to start the knockout stages with a clean disciplinary record. I guess the one big question in all of this is the following. Was what Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso did against the rules? The answer is a big fat no. At least not yet. Even if they did bring in a rule to prohibit inducing yellow cards on purpose, how on earth could the referees possibly be expected to enforce the rule? Impossible.
What Jose Mourinho did was well and truly within the rules of the game, even if a tadge unsporting. People will get all hot under the collar, claiming it undermines the whole competition. Yet who wouldn't want their team to do the same if it meant guaranteeing the presence of two of their most important players in the all-important knock-out stages? Personally, I think it is just another example of the extraordinary attention to detail that Mourinho pays to his match preparation. That difference between very good and great managers. Jose Mourinho doesn't miss a beat. It won't win him or Real Madrid any friends, but this isn't about winning friends. It's about winning a record breaking tenth Champions League crown.

By JILL MCNEAL6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - It's a life or death mission, and local pilots are stepping up to help. They donate their time, skills and money, hundreds of dollars in fuel for just one flight, to give a dog or cat a last chance to find a home.
We tagged along with Pilots N Paws, a national non-profit co-founded by a Knoxville pilot, that's dedicated to saving one animal at a time.
It was a beautiful day at Downtown Island Airport when Knoxville pilot Chris Pease met his passengers for the first time. Three of the flyers, Reba, Rita and Randy, are from the Tennessee Pekingese Rescue.
"These three dogs were confiscated from an abuse and neglect situation in Roane County," said rescue volunteer Jackie Wagoner.
The fourth, Frannie, came from the Cumberland County Animal Shelter.
"She's five years old. She's house-trained. She's wonderful, and somebody just dumped her," said Jackie Baker, with Wags and Whiskers - Spay/Neuter Advocates in Crossville.
They make the team effort so worthwhile.
Reba, Rita, Randy and Frannie are the lucky ones. They're headed up north to a shelter in Connecticut. Strictly enforced pet laws there mean very few unwanted animals and space to give these Southern dogs a second chance at life.
"They're a blessing. We've got to get ahead of it with spay and neuter so that we quit creating a problem and asking them to solve it for us, but in the meantime, this saves lives," Wagoner said.
South Carolina animal rescuer Debi Boies and Knoxville pilot Jon Wehrenberg started Pilots N Paws in 2007. It began when Wehrenberg offered to fly to Florida to pick up a Doberman that Boies wanted to adopt.
"When he returned, he posed the question to me, 'Is there a need for this? Do you need to move animals through animal rescue work?' And I said you have no idea, Jon," Boies recalled.
Now there are Pilots N Paws flights all over the country every week. Rescue groups post a needed trip and an available pilot responds.
There are many more requests than people to fill them because the pilots aren't allowed to take payment for their services under FAA rules. "It's incredible. That these guys do this is just unbelievable," Baker said.
Once the precious cargo was loaded for the flight from Downtown Island, Pease started the engine and we took off. Despite all the noise and the altitude changes, the dogs were quiet in their crates.
"It just really hurts my heart to know how many do get put down," Pease said.
In the last few years, he has completed more than 20 missions for Pilots N Paws. "Flying is wonderful and helping out the animals is even more wonderful," he said.
His experience shows. The flight was smooth and we decided to let Frannie out of her crate for a minute so she could enjoy the view. She seemed to love it.
After two hours and 10 minutes in the air, we landed in Martinsburg, West Virginia, where we met with Pennsylvania pilot Jeff Luizza. He and his co-pilot will fly the dogs to their final destination - Danbury, Connecticut.
"If it wasn't for us, the dogs would be put down so we try to do as many as we can," Luizza said.
The dogs got a quick water and potty break, then they were loaded onto Luizza's plane.
An hour and 20 minutes later, Reba, Rita, Randy and Frannie landed in Connecticut, where staff at the Danbury Animal Welfare Society (DAWS) said they'll likely find their forever homes within a couple of weeks.
"We just cannot send enough head bonks and wet nose kisses to Pilots N Paws for all they do. They make our job easier and really just save a lot of lives," said DAWS President Cheryl Rykowski.
Randy was adopted quickly in his new location.
If you'd like to help Pilots N paws, information is available for pilots and volunteers.

Northern region marine police chief Asst Comm Sahadan Halus said the two sides, which shared the common problem, held a brain storming session on Friday to find ways to deal with it effectively.
He said they agreed to beef up and organise more co-ordinated patrols along the straits, adding that they also discussed methods to streamline their information sharing for quicker action.
A delegation of 30 Belawan marine police personnel, led by its chief Anang Syarif Hidayat, arrived at the marine police jetty in Batu Uban, Penang, on Thursday for the piracy prevention meeting with their Malaysian counterparts.

text: We are upgrading our finance system and the selected vendor says they cannot support a production system that is virtualized. We, for business continuity purposes, would prefer that they virtualize the system so we are at an impasse. They said they would not mind us having a DR site with virtualized server at the ready. So, the question.. We can replicate data with our SAN but how can I make regular images of the finance system servers? I thought maybe a product like Platespin might work but I don't know enough about it. Any recommendations?

I'm the first person to admit that I fulfil most British stereotypes, not least the inability to control my love of a good moan. This is especially the case when it comes to weather. I hate being cold, get very cold and spend the majority of the winter months somewhere on the spectrum of mild-to-hopping-mad rage, railing against my purple extremities and goose pimples to anyone who'll listen. Then when summer finally arrives and we're treated to a heatwave I can't cope with that either and start getting stroppy about being sweaty in the city. Even last week in glorious Sotogrande when all I had to do was lounge by a pool and the horrors of the Piccadilly Line were far, far away I still managed to fit in a whinge or two about the heat between insagramming shots of my pedicure and inspecting my tan lines. One particularly iffy issue when it's hot, hot, hot is how to keep yourself looking polished when you feel like you're melting. Whether you're in the city, trying to look presentable while navigating scorching pavements and possibly even public transport or on your hols, hoping to look like a poolside glamazon, keeping groomed in the height of summer can be tricky. With the mercury set to continue to rise and August being prime holiday time, I thought now might be a good moment to share some of the luscious L'Occitane En Provence products I've been using to stop myself looking like a bedraggled mess (I hope) both in London and on the beach.
Beating the heat with Frisson de Verveine
Frisson de Verveine Eau de Toilette, £42, click here to buy
Left: Frisson de Verveine Refreshing Body Mist, £12, click here to buy. Right: Frisson de Verveine Ice Gel for Legs & Feet, £20, click here to buy.
Frisson de Verveine Body Care Duo, reduced from £34 to £28, click here to buy
While I remain highly dubious about body spray in general – anyone else remember the impulse scented air of teenage discos? – everything else about L'Occitane En Provence's Frisson de Verveine collection is excellent. The scent is utterly delicious and so freaking fresh I quite want to drink it every time I put it on. Also when it's seriously hot, more traditional perfumes can be a bit heavy, even really lovely ones. The same goes for the shower gel and body lotion. The ice gel for hands and feet was a bit of a surprise as the idea of putting gel on your body when you're hot and sweaty isn't so nice in theory but in practice, it does the job and doesn't leave you with your toes stuck together. It's also enabled me to continue cramming my feet into footwear that could double as torture instruments as it reduces heat swelling. For the past few weeks I've been using the lot when I get back from a morning run and, in my mind at least, the whole routine transports me from red faced, panting mess to a state of laid back, lemon scented loveliness. I did give the body mist a go and it was actually rather nice, but I still kind of object to it on principle.
Pre Holiday Preparations
Left: Almond Tonic Body Oil, £35, click here to buy. Right: Almond Delicious Paste, £29, click here to buy.
I've never read a beauty feature that didn't advise lots and lots of pre holiday exfoliation. No guide to prepping your beach body will ever advocate anything other than scouring away those dead skin cells and vanquishing all signs of cellulite with a good, grainy scrub. This is of course because it's true. Back in the day I used to be the most religious skin scrubber of them all, devoting vast amounts of time to my extensive exfoliation-followed-by-moisturisation routine but now I'm rather too busy to spend hours in my bathroom merrily buffing my bod. That, my friends, is where this particular potion is rather handy. It's a moisturiser/exfoliator hybrid in the form of a blended almond butter and oil paste that you just apply all over, as you would a regular lotion in the weeks leading up to your hols. It won't of course transform you into a Victoria's Secret angel (always a bummer) but it does make your skin soft, fresh and ready to get it's tan on. Smell nice too, obvs. I've also been slapping on a bit of the almond tonic body oil whenever I remember to. It's made from a combination of 5 essential oils – immortelle, palmarosa, mint, carrot, cypress and pink pepper – and meant to give skin a "refined and toned appearance." I think a big misconception, or in some cases outright lie, with products like this is that it's tempting to think that they will help tone your limbs in a more muscular sense, like some sort of magical gym in a bottle which obviously would be awesome if it existed. What the almond tonic body oil is designed to do is tone and smooth the skin itself, not what's underneath it. For that purpose, L'Occitane's oil works well and leaves you feeling all silky and fragrant with less blotches and bumps.
Beach Please
Left: Angelica UV Shield SPF40, £27, click here to buy. Right: Revitalising Fresh Detangling Spray, £18, click here to buy.
While I'm categorising these under the "use while on holiday" section of this post it's also totally advisable to use them when back home during the summer, especially the face cream with factor 40 UV protection. I'm sure you guys are all much better about this than me but I always forget to wear UV protective face cream, sometimes even when actually on holiday which is terrible. I'm usually worried that wearing such creams on my face day to day is going to clog my pores, mess with my skin, cause makeup coagulation and generally feel a bit icky. I decided this summer to be less of an idiot about protecting my pasty face from the sun's rays and gave this a whirl, then continued using it as it didn't cause any of the aforementioned horrors. Full disclosure, I don't use it everyday as I'm addicted to Kiehls classic 3 step skincare products but when I was in Sotogrande or if it's particularly sunny here in blighty I swap it for L'Occitane's Angelica UV shield. When I was away it was a huge relief to know that even if I fell asleep or got to engrossed in The Wrong Knickers (SUCH a funny book, definitely recommended reading) and didn't reapply my suncream enough, my face at least was still protected. As a result I'm burnt in multiple other places but at least my nose doesn't look like a tomato. I'm very, very hesitant to ever use any products at all on my hair as it's super fine and the slightest smidge of mousse leaves me looking like Gollum. That said, sun, sea and chlorine gives my usually limp barnet the ability, or at least the desire, to transform itself into a very tangled 'fro so I experimented with this spray when I was on holiday and I'd definitely recommend it.
Happy holidays everyone!
Love Ella. X

text: I just saw that Marte is on the roster for the Dominican Republic for the WBC. Given the fact that he played winter ball in the DR ,and now will be playing several more games throughout March (I'm not sure how many), is anyone else concerned with fatigue becoming an issue at some point in the 2013 season? Assuming the Pirates have the authority, is this something the Pirates shouldn't have allowed to happen?

Stephanie McMahon revealed on Twitter that she has a new jet plane. The belief is that WWE purchased the new vehicle for her because she will be attending events more frequently in the role of brand ambassador. Triple H and Vince McMahon will more than likely travel together to Monday Night Raw and Smackdown each week.
Since WWE stars had to travel through pretty rough weather this past winter, Vince McMahon is leaning towards doing more house shows on the west coast during the months of October through January, as the conditions on that side of the country are not nearly as harsh.
Travel isn't an easy thing. Since America Airlines lost their luggage, Natalya Neidhart and Tyson Kidd have no clothes to wear, so the WWE couple has no choice but to wear their ring gear in the hotel room. Natalya posted the hilarious picture on Twitter.
One of the perks and hassles of being a WWE performer is that you get to visit a lot of cities across the world. Xavier Woods is taking advantage of that opportunity now that he is on the main roster. He is currently on a mission to visit a local video game store in every city that he travels to.
"I knew AJ Lee from developmental a year before she was on NXT. I didn't know Dolph Ziggler at all. But when we started working together and traveling to different shows we realized that we shared a similar sense of humor. It didn't take us long to realize that it was kind of an odd pairing but it worked. We had a lot of fun and it is something that I'll always remember. I learned a lot from Dolph when I was ringside for all of the John Cena matches at house shows. It was a positive way for me to start my career."
- Big E Langston
Some last minute replacements were added to Royal Rumble 2014. Initially, Xavier Woods and Wade Barrett were given spots in the big match, but WWE officials decided to remove them and replace them with JBL and El Torito instead. The feeling backstage was that the fans would react better to those the latter two performers.
Batista won Royal Rumble 2014 by eliminating Roman Reigns in the end. Other contestants during the match were Alberto Del Rio, Alexander Rusev, Antonio Cesaro, Big E Langston, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, El Torito, Erick Rowan, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Jack Swagger, JBL, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Kane, Kevin Nash, Kofi Kingston, Luke Harper, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Ryback, Seth Rollins, Sheamus and the Miz.
To play up their story line, El Torito posted a tweet, where he shows his affection towards WWE announcer Renee Young.

7 p.m. April 12-14. Tickets are $10. The show is April 12,13,14 at 7 p.m. at Liberty High School, 1115 Linden St., Bethlehem. Tickets are $10. Call 610-837-4755.
Director Julie Mixtacki says the music of "Les Miserables" kept her from getting homesick when she was in France as an exchange student in high school. She says that when she started directing high school theater she couldn't wait until she had all of the right people to do the story and characters justice, and this year she has. "I know the impact that the show had on my life at that age and I wanted to give that same experience to as many as possible."

The show follows the original story, with the addition of a few moments from the novel. Students from Bethlehem's vo-tech school designed and built the barricade, as well as several other pieces. Moravian College lent furniture, and Pleasant Valley High School and Emmaus High School assisted with props and costume pieces, respectively. "This has truly been a community production. We designed and built over 1,000 costume pieces honoring the original, but putting our own spin on things," says Mixtacki. All who auditioned were cast, so there are 72 actors, and about 40 crew and orchestra members.
Neal Mayer, a former member of the Broadway cast, talked to the students. The students received encouraging letters from Ramin Karimloo, who played Enjolras most recently in London's West End and in the televised 25th anniversary concert, as well as from Shawna Hamic, currently playing Madame Thenardier in the national touring production.

Searching for Truth with a Broken Flashlight
"The general wisdom in North America is that one must either:
- Accept the accuracy of the Bible text and thus embrace Creationism, or
- Accept the Theory of Evolution as truth and consider the book of Genesis as myth.
Hawley explodes this as a myth. Starting from the facts found in nature, one can harmonize evolution and Genesis. A remarkable accomplishment. One of the most important books I have read in the past 12 months."
…Consider the following comment: "Scientists are mere humans, and have insignificant powers of reason as compared to God. Since the Bible is perfect, any man-made scientific theories that conflict with the Bible must be wrong." You, as a Christian, may strongly believe this claim, especially since the community of Christians that you associate with also believes this. You may even be convinced that the Holy Spirit has inspired your thinking, since God is obviously on your side. Additionally, Satan may very well be behind the misguided egotistical scientists. For many, it boils down to God's perfect revelation over man's limited ability to reason.
The above claim about revelation over reason has a major flaw in its logic. The comparison is not between God and man; the comparison is actually between man's interpretation of God's Word and man's interpretation of nature. When the words of the Bible enter your mind, you must interpret its content. Interpretation is unavoidable. Even the clearest Bible verses must be put into context, and this requires interpretation. Just as theologians interpret the facts of Scripture, scientists interpret the facts of nature. Ultimately, it is a case of human interpretation vs. human interpretation...
...Is gravity a fact? Surprisingly, the answer is no, and just as surprising it never will be, regardless of the reality of its existence. If this confuses you, it is because we in everyday life use the word, fact, differently than scientists do. We generally use it as an explanation that has been proven beyond all doubt. If someone's explanation or argument is proven, then it is considered fact. For example, if the doctor diagnoses your ailment as the flu and explains it was caused by a flu virus, we consider this explanation a fact since it is accepted beyond any doubt. Scientists do not consider this explanation a fact, even though they are completely convinced it is correct. Fact in science has a different connotation than a proven explanation, equating it strictly to observable evidence. A scientific fact is not an explanation, it is the evidence used to support an explanation. In the case of gravity, a scientific fact is planets orbit the Sun or objects fall to the Earth. The explanation of these facts is gravity.
We also use fact as to mean evidence, but not all evidence is created equal. Evidence used in arguments/claims fit into four general categories and each category has inherent strengths and weaknesses when it comes to searching for the truth. These categories are hearsay-based, experience-based, authority-based, and empirical-based. All can produce convincing results, but some do a better job than others in pointing to the truth. all too often introduces error into the process and there is no way to verify it satisfactorily...
…The following is my response to this article, which was edited by a colleague of mine, Bruce Adams, and then published in the Buffalo News on March 15, 2002:
"In Richard's attempt to refute evolution, he wrote that evolution is just a theory, referring to it as "bad science." As a science teacher, I wonder if Richard knows what good science is. He apparently falls prey to two erroneous assertions that creationists are fond of making. The first is that a theory is "just a guess." The second is that theories, if "proven", become facts. Both claims demonstrate a failure to understand the scientific process. In science, when a question is posed such as, "Why are elephant and dinosaur fossils never found together?" Scientists apply knowledge and experience to arrive at an explanation. This explanation is called a hypothesis; an educated "guess" not yet confirmed. To confirm a hypothesis, evidence is gathered in the form of fact – pieces of data – that either support or refute it. If they do not support the hypothesis, it is discarded. If they do, a theory is born. Unlike a guess, a theory must be supported by evidence. But that's not the end of the process. The theory is then published in a professional journal for peer review so that the rest of the world can attempt to shoot holes through it. Here is where theories really survive or fail. The statement, "once a theory is proven, then it is a fact" is actually "bad science." Is gravity a fact? No, and it will never be. What is a fact, is that things fall. The accepted explanation, supported by facts, is called gravity. Does Richard consider gravity unproven? The beauty of science is that it is self-correcting. If the facts refute a theory, it is eliminated. Evolutionary theory has been scrutinized by experts for more than 150 years, and it continues to survive as the only fact-based explanation for the diversity of life."
...Robert Riggins in his article, Do You Believe in Evolution? (2002), comments upon this particular question, "Do you believe in evolution? It's easy to say "Yes!" but that's not right. The problem is that the question itself is wrong. It's like the old "Have you stopped beating your wife?" question: either a yes or a no give the wrong impression…. The problem is the phrase "believe in"… is the trap….The phrase believe in in common parlance seems to mean to take something literally for which there is little or no objective evidence."
This is precisely the reason why many evolutionary biologists will not give a yes or no answer to this particular question. It suggests that they have accepted biological evolution regardless of the physical evidence. Recall that the scientific process filters out claims based upon conjecture. Conforming to the evidence is everything. The goal is to know evolution in order to discover the truth. When someone says to me that they do not believe in evolution, I usually follow up with the question, "Well, what is evolution?" Never have I received a correct answer, which tells me that their belief (or disbelief in this case) comes not from their head but from their heart. In effect, someone is disagreeing with something that they have no idea what they are disagreeing about…
"I had always believed in Roger's complete innocence. In my view, he had no motive, means, or opportunity to do this crime. I now know that I was wrong."
When listening to McCloskey speak prior to the DNA test, it was obvious he had complete confidence in Coleman's innocence. What convinced the jury of his guilt was that Coleman actually did have motive, means, and opportunity. Among other evidence, he had a prior conviction for rape, he was near McCoy's house the night of the murder, and he had access to it. McCloskey even knew something the jury did not know; he failed a polygraph test. His intuition, along with a few selected facts, made him believe Coleman was an honest man doomed by a series of unfortunate coincidences. In this case, his reason to ignore reason failed him...
...In the spring of 1997, members of a cult called Heaven's Gate led by Marshall Applewhite committed mass suicide by drinking a lethal mixture of Phenobarbital and vodka. The members believed that Applewhite was Jesus reincarnated. There was no evidence for this, but they believed it without any doubt. This belief was so strong that they followed Applewhite into death. Applewhite explained to his cult members that "inner beings" in a spacecraft traveling alongside comet Hale-Bopp are coming for them. He told them they must commit suicide so that their inner beings will be transported onto the spaceship. The spaceship will then take them to another planet where their cult co-founder, Bonnie Nettles (who had recently died of cancer), is waiting for them.
Interestingly, members of Heaven's Gate bought an expensive telescope just prior to Earth's encounter with comet Hale-Bopp, but they returned it soon after. The storeowner asked why they were returning the telescope. They claimed that it was defective because they could not see the spacecraft! Their belief was so strong that the possibility of there not being a spacecraft next to Comet Hale-Bopp was completely out of the question. Contradictory physical evidence did little to weaken their belief that a spacecraft was on its way...
...In 1987, skeptic and magician James Randi had a private investigator secretly record faith-healing sessions with a scanner and tape recorder. The scanner picked up Popoff's wife, Elizabeth, saying, "Petey, can you hear me?" She was secretly reading the prayer cards to Popoff through a radio into his hidden earphone. On the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Randi showed a clip of Popoff deceptively yelling to the audience, "Harold". Popoff's wife then said in the earphone, "Cataracts". Popoff followed with, "God is going to burn those cataracts right off your eyes!" Randi stated to Carson, "Popoff says God tells him these things. Maybe he does. But I didn't realize God used a frequency of 39.17 megahertz and had a voice exactly like Elizabeth Popoff's."
Both, Al-Sahaf and Popoff, purposely deceived their audiences. They had hidden agendas that had nothing to do with truth. The above quote by Thomas Cooper, an American educationalist and political philosopher, offers us help in discovering the truth. The solution is honest examination. Since truth invites examination, then examination is the path to truth...
After His Kind
The following is an excerpt from Searching for Truth with a Broken Flashlight, which provides clear Scriptural/natural evidence that the Genesis phrase "after his kind" agrees perfectly with biological evolution, macroevolution, and common ancestry:
It is very clear reading anti-evolution creationist literature that even though they accept evolution within kinds they overwhelmingly deny evolution between kinds, which they call macroevolution. Why? As stated earlier, they interpret, "according to their kind", in the Book of Genesis as to mean God created all of life and placed them into preset divine categories, such as a whale category. The actual Hebrew word for kind is baramin. Any claim stating that modern species evolved from different "kinds" of animals, such as today's whales being descended from a land mammal with legs cannot be compatible with their literal interpretation of the Bible.
What is the accepted definition of macroevolution within the scientific community? They rarely use the term, macroevolution, but generally they consider it a historical look at evolutionary change at the species level or higher. It has been stated that microevolution is evolution within a species, while macroevolution is evolution between species.
As stated earlier, anti-evolution creationists have a different definition of macroevolution, because they are connecting it to the biblical term, baramin. Baramin does not equate to species. The horse kind category is not a species level category, but it is a family level category. What does family level mean? Scientists have organized all of life into progressively more specific categories based upon levels of relatedness. For example, the classification system organizes horses as follows: Kingdom – Animalia (all animals), Phyllum – Chordata (all animals with spinal cords), Class – Mammalia (all mammals), Order – Perissodactyla (all odd-toed mammals such as horses, rhinos, and tapirs), Family – Equidae (horses, asses, and zebras), Genus – Equus (all horses), Species – caballus (a species of horse). Since horses, asses, and zebras are very horse-like, then this is probably what God meant by kind.
Most creationists claim that the Book of Genesis excludes the possibility of macroevolution, which comes from their belief that baramin, or kind, is a divine preset and permanent category of organism. The following are the specific verses in Genesis that use the phrase, "after his kind":
-(Genesis 1:12): "And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
-(Genesis 1:21): "And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
-(Genesis 1:24): "And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so."
-(Genesis 1:25): "And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
-(Genesis 7:14,15): "They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life."
In their opinion, "after his kind" conflicts with the evolutionary concept of common ancestry, which states that all living organisms are descended from a common ancient ancestor. On the surface, it looks like common ancestry conforms to the creationists' definition of macroevolution (evolution between kinds), thus conflicting with their interpretation of the phrase, "after their kind". Little do most Christians realize, common ancestry is NOT evolution between kinds, which means it does not conform to the creationists' definition of macroevolution. Common ancestry actually conforms to their definition of microevolution, which they accept. The idea that all organisms have a common ancestor is actually evolution WITHIN kinds, regardless of the definition of kinds.
If common ancestry states that the ancestor to all mammals was a non-mammal, i.e., an ancient reptile species, then how can this not be the creationists' definition macroevolution? The answer is that evolution acts strictly upon populations from one generation to the next, which means that all modern mammals descended from their own kind, their parents. It has nothing to do with what happened 10,000 or 100,000 generations ago, or what is going to happen in the far future.
The divine category of kind can be restated in terms of genetics as the overall genetic makeup, i.e., the combined gene pools of all the species within that kind. For example, most creation scientists agree that giraffes are a kind of animal. Today there are a number of giraffe species, but they all look like giraffes. Most artist reconstructions of Noah and the ark tend to have two giraffes either walking into the ark or they have their long necks sticking out of the roof. Genetic mutations (about 100 new mutations per individual) guarantee that the next generation of giraffe kind will have a slightly different set of alleles than the previous one. Notice how the definition of kind must be flexible enough to take into account additional new variations upon each successive generation. This shows that the kind categories are not fixed categories. Subtle changes in the total number and version of alleles from one generation to the next causes the category to change slightly.
Common ancestry claims that all mammals have a common ancestor, which means that modern day giraffes must have descended from mammals that had shorter necks. The fossil record confirms this with progressively older rocks containing giraffe-like mammals with progressively shorter necks. The oldest giraffe-like fossils are very deer-like in their morphology.
Besides having shorter necks, the most primitive giraffe-like fossils look deer-like. This also conforms to common ancestry, since giraffes are genetically similar to the deer family. Today, the giraffe and the deer are very distinct from each other, but it gets very difficult to separate them in the fossil record. The problem for many creationists is that deer are a different kind than giraffes. Common ancestry is conflicting with their definition of macroevolution. A certain population did not directly evolve from one set kind (deer) into another (giraffe), the kind evolved with it. The category of giraffe kind did not exist at the time of Eumeryx. More importantly, this does not conflict with the Book of Genesis, since each population of mammals is living and breeding after their kind at the time of their kind. This particular ancient population of deer-like mammals progressively changed their overall genetic makeup (kind) through time, yet they stayed true to after their kind and still do.
Organisms do not evolve from one kind to the next, as defined by anti-evolution creationists' macroevolution. Their kind is inherently part of them, so organisms and their kind category evolve together. Since their kind category changes along with organisms, it guarantees that they always evolve WITHIN, or "after their kind". This means that there is no conflict between common ancestry and Genesis. Interestingly, modern elephants, rhinos, camels, deer, sheep, pigs, horses, and hippos show a similar common ancestry pattern in the fossil record as in the case of the giraffe. Additionally, the ancestors to all of these very distinct kinds of mammals look more similar to each other than they do of their modern descendants.
Those opposed to this view may say that "after his kind" refers to preset categories, thus are not subject to change through time. God created kind categories then filled the categories with all of life. The problem with this interpretation is that it does not match God's other infallible revelation, nature. As stated earlier, the overall variation within a kind category changes with the next generation, so the kind parameters just changed. Taking the Book of Genesis literally, it could just as likely mean that while God is creating separate and distinct organisms, they are conveniently fitting into different categories. The purpose is "separate and distinct", not "must fit into pre-made categories". Once complete, Adam now has the ability to name them since they are different from each other:
-"And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
-And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him." (Genesis 2:19,20)
Henry Morris' Deception
The central foundation behind the "science" of creation science is a specific kind of flood geology where all of the layered sedimentary rocks around the world are remnant global flood deposits. All of today's young earth creationists hinge their entire arguments in the evolution/creation controversy around this claim, which can be traced directly to Henry Morris' and John Whitcomb's 1961 book, The Genesis Flood. The following are excerpts from my book discussing this and revealing Morris' deception upon fellow Christians:
Ellen G. Harmon (1827-1925) with her soon-to-be husband, James White, teamed up with Joseph Bates, and founded the Seventh-day Adventist Church, an offshoot of the Millerites. …Ellen White quickly became the spiritual leader of the church, and today is revered as a prophet. Ellen White claimed to have upwards of 2,000 visions from God with her first occurring just after The Great Disappointment in 1844. One particular vision was the beginning of creation. She states,
"I was then carried back to the creation and was shown that the first week, in which God performed the work of creation in six days and rested on the seventh day, was just like every other week."
She then states that fossils were the result of the flood,
"[humans, animals, and trees] were buried, and thus preserved as an evidence to later generations that the antediluvians perished by a flood. God designed that the discovery of these things should establish faith in inspired history; but…the things which God gave them [i.e., to us humans] as a benefit, they turn into a curse by making a wrong use of them [scientists]."
One particular early twentieth century creationist, George McCready Price (1870-1963), was the key anti-evolution creationist most influential to today's young earth anti-evolution creationist movement even though his beliefs were considered on the fringe by fundamentalists at the time. Price promoted what he called Flood Geology. He claimed that geologists were completely wrong about the geologic history of the layered sedimentary rocks and the fossils they contained. While geologists were claiming that sedimentary rocks are the result of sediment (sand, clay, mud, etc.) being deposited and buried over millions of years, Price was claiming that they were flood sediments from Noah's global deluge approximately 4,000 years ago. The fossils were remnants of creatures that died during the global flood. He believed the Earth was created in 4004 BC just as Ussher had calculated using biblical chronology. This also meant that man was created fully formed, which precluded the possibility that biological evolution had any part in the origin of human beings. He began publishing his young earth flood geology literature in 1902 with, Outlines of Modern Christianity and Modern Science. In 1906 Price wrote, Illogical Geology: The Weakest Point in the Evolution Theory. He finished his most notable work in 1923, which was a college textbook entitled, The New Geology.
George McCready Price had no choice but to believe in a restrictive literal interpretation where God created the universe in 4004 BC. The founder of Seventh-day Adventism, Ellen White, claimed to have received a vision from God, showing her the creation of the universe, which "was just like any other week." Accepting anything other than a young earth would be to deny Ellen White as a true prophet. If other literal interpretations were true, such as Day-age creationism and the Gap Theory, then this would mean the Seventh-day Adventist denomination is based upon error.
George McCready Price was not the first to come up with flood geology. The scientific community settled this issue at the beginning of the previous century. A convincing argument against a young earth literal interpretation of the Bible in the early 19th century was that no physical evidence for a global flood existed anywhere on the planet. A massive and violent global flood should visibly scar the surface of the Earth. English geologist and paleontologist (and originator of the Gap Theory) Reverend William Buckland (1784-1856) advanced flood geology and claimed in his published work in 1820, Reliquiae diluvianae (Relics of the Flood), that the gravel and till deposits spread across northern Europe and North America were the result of Noah's flood. As the first "official" geologist at Oxford University, Buckland was one of the most respected naturalists of his age. According to Dr. Steven J. Gould (1941-2002), paleontologist and biologist at Harvard University, Louis Agassiz (1807-1873) claimed Buckland was incorrect, and that the physical evidence clearly shows this debris came from continental glaciers. Within ten years and after numerous scientific debates, Buckland reluctantly agreed with Agassiz and rejected his own work.
At the time of Buckland's tenure at Oxford, another flood geology idea was discussed within the scientific community, which claimed that all of the world's layered sedimentary rocks were remnant global flood sediment. Buckland quickly discounted this hypothesis since it did not conform to the geologic evidence. In 1836, Buckland writes,
"Some have attempted to ascribe the formation of all the stratified rocks to the effects of the Mosaic Deluge; an opinion which is irreconcilable with the enormous thickness and almost infinite subdivisions of these strata, and with the numerous and regular successions which they contain of the remains of animals and vegetables, differing more an more widely from existing species, as the strata in which we find them are older, or place at greater depths."
According to Dr. Gould, the geology community as a whole rejected this type of flood geology, because it was "irreconcilable" with the physical evidence. As evidenced by Reverend Buckland, many well-respected experts within the scientific community in the early 19th century were devout Christians and had no difficulty referring to the Bible in scientific research. Even so, the 19th century scientific community was forced to conclude that there was no recent global flood, since there was no physical evidence to support it.
According to Dr. Numbers (a former Adventist himself), George McCready Price did not receive his education on flood geology from this early scientific debate. As stated earlier, Seventh-day Adventist founder, Ellen White, claimed to have seen in one of her 2,000 divine visions the rock layers and fossils being formed during Noah's flood. Price, believing White as a prophet, took this vision as gospel and developed young earth flood geology creationism around it.
For most in America in the late 1950's, the fear of an immediate Soviet domination took precedence over the fear that evolution was slowly destroying our social fabric, but not everyone believed this. Fundamentalist Christians had always maintained that the root cause of all social problems was this anti-God philosophy. In 1961, the anti-evolution fight was reenergized by the publication of one book, The Genesis Flood (1961). The authors, Henry Morris and John Whitcomb, Jr., were so convincing to fundamentalist Christians that it started a new creationist movement, in which they called creation science. Dr. Numbers comments upon this in his book, Creationists: The Evolution of Scientific Creationism:
"At last, in the late 1950's, a breakthrough occurred. John C. Whitcomb, Jr. (b. 1924), a theologian at Grace Theological Seminary (Winona Lake, Indiana) of the Grace Brethren denomination, and Henry M. Morris (b. 1918), a hydraulic engineer of Southern Baptist background, had each been moving in a creationist direction for quite a while before finding confirmation in Price's work. Each was also disturbed by a book published in 1954 by the evangelical Baptist theologian, Bernard Ramm, The Christian View of Science and Scripture… Soon after Whitcomb and Morris met each other they published The Genesis Flood (1961), an updating of Price's work, but one that, because of Whitcomb's theological contribution and Morris' scientific expertise, made Price's points more persuasively."
Morris and Whitcomb repackaged Prices' discarded flood geology creationism into something that the fundamentalist and evangelical community finally embraced. The Genesis Flood was an instant success with 29 reprints and sales in excess of 200,000 by the 1980's. It became the scientific support and justification for the belief in young earth creationism, especially since this movement was named creation science. One reason for its success, besides the more refined methods of persuasion in the book, is because Morris came from the mainline Baptist community rather than the fringe Seventh-day Adventist community as did Price. This made it more palatable for mainstream evangelicals. Morris and Whitcomb seemed to have predicted this Christian bias. In The Genesis Flood they do not credit George McCready Price's work, The New Geology (1923), as being their single most influential resource. Again, The Genesis Flood is merely an updated version of The New Geology. Don Stoner in his book A New Look at an Old Earth, states:
"The connection to Price and the Adventists worried Whitcomb and Morris…. Fearing that Price's Adventist-tinted reputation might hinder the acceptance of The Genesis Flood, Whitcomb and Morris tried to avoid any visible connection with Price. Although they left the substance of their arguments unchanged, they removed nearly every mention of Price's name from their book."
Timothy Martin points out in his book, Beyond Creation Science, that after 23 years and after the fundamentalist Christian community had fully embraced his book, Morris finally gives credit where credit is due. In his 1984 book, History of Modern Creationism, he states,
"I encountered his name in one of Harry Rimmer's books… and thereupon looked up his book The New Geology in the library at Rice Institute, where I was teaching at the time. This was in early 1943 and it was a life-changing experience for me."
The significance of their deception upon fellow believers cannot be overemphasized. In order to avoid the McCready Price connection, Morris and Whitcomb claimed that sedimentary rock flood geology was common knowledge even in early Christianity, and in so doing, hinted that this was the source of their modern sedimentary layer flood geology. On page 90 of The Genesis Flood, Morris and Whitcomb state,
"Before 1800, some of the outstanding theologians of the church were of the opinion that the Genesis Flood not only was universal in extent but also was responsible for the reshaping of the earth's surface, including the formation of sedimentary strata. Among those who held this view were Tertullian, Chrysostom, Augustine, and Luther."
This statement can be nothing but a deception. A thorough review of these early Christian's writings will demonstrate that they never commented upon sedimentary rock strata being the result of Noah's flood. Besides, Christian leaders prior to the 19th century believed Genesis clearly states that the land, which includes all sedimentary rocks, was formed BEFORE the creation of life. Since sedimentary rocks contain billions of fossils (evidence of life), it can only mean these rocks were formed AFTER life began.
So, why is this significant as we attempt to discover the truth? First keep in mind, young earth creationists admit they filter discoveries in science with a favored interpretation of Genesis. Henry Morris claimed it is the spiritually safe approach. Price's sedimentary rock flood geology is the foundational piece of evidence that confirms the young earth creationists' interpretation, which is considered absolute truth to them, i.e., not open to questioning. The problem is this particular absolute truth came from a dream of a teenager in the 1840s.
Second, Morris purposely led his readers into believing something that was false. Christians at the time of Steno (18th century) would never have accepted this interpretation of Genesis, because it suggests life began before the formation of rocks. For Morris to claim the ancient Christians promoted this clearly demonstrates he did not want his Christian readers to know the whole truth. It is another case of cherry picking the evidence in order to convince readers of a belief, as opposed to allowing all of the evidence to speak for itself.

It's said you should try to avoid meeting the people you admire, as they're bound to disappoint. Sigourney Weaver, however, put the lie on that entirely when we got to talk with her at the recent Marrakech International Film Festival, where she was serving as President of the short films jury. If her recent movie choices have been a bit mixed (for every "Rampart" there's an "Abduction") Weaver herself seems teflon-coated in that she can emerge from lesser films intact, and somehow any blame gets deflected onto the films themselves for not being able to capitalize properly on her particular brand of charisma. This erratic quality level has also, presumably, a lot to do with being an actress of a certain age who wants to work regularly, (and boy, does she work: 2011 saw her in 4 theatrical releases -- the aforementioned films plus "Paul" and "Cedar Rapids"); it's hardly controversial to suggest that Hollywood isn't exactly programmed for the sixtysomething actress, even someone as iconic as Weaver.
And yet the Sigourney Weaver we meet shows no sign of renouncing her work ethic, and she continues to look ahead at what's next (though, before you ask, there's no further move on "Ghostbusters 3"– "It's all up to Bill Murray" she told us). Of course it doesn't hurt her future career prospects that she was the biggest-name star in the biggest movie of all time. And what's perhaps surprising about being part of the technological wizardry of "Avatar" is that "...unlike what most people think, it's extremely actor-based -- there are no green screens, there are no blue screens, it's an empty room with the director and the actors, the cameras are all far away so you're very unaware of them, so it's all about the scene." In direct contrast to some of the other stories you may have heard, on James Cameron's sets, she asserts, "It's more pro-actor than a lot of big movies...more like an early theater rehearsal. It's more a champion of the actor than any other big movie I've ever made."
As a result, she's excited to start shooting the back-to-back "Avatar" sequels next fall, but first, she says with an affectionate eyeroll, "James Cameron has to take his submarine that he developed and designed down into the Mariana [trench] deeper than any human has gone and document that adventure." On the sequels themselves, she is sworn to secrecy except to say that Cameron "has a whole lot of things to say over the next two," and yes, they will share some of the preoccupations of the first film: "I think they will have an environmental theme, but it won't necessarily be in the same area" she states carefully.
At this point, were it any other actor, we'd be moving on to smaller fry, as surely being in The Biggest Movie Of All Time would be the defining point of their career. But this is Sigourney "Get away from her you bitch!" Weaver, and for her, "Avatar" isn't even the defining epic sci-fi blockbuster movie series of her career. Nope, there is an elephant in the room, and by elephant, we mean a lethal black xenomorph with concentrated acid for blood. How does she feel about Ridley Scott revisiting the Alien universe without Ripley, for prequel "Prometheus"? "Ridley and I talked about the idea of 'Prometheus' and I always thought that was the only story to tell...So I think it's great that Ridley is doing it," she said. "I will be as excited as anyone to see how he recreates this creature, re-energizes the Alien. I'm very proud of our four movies and I wish him all the best with it."
Those four movies would have been five, had Fox had its way. Joss Whedon, who wrote "Alien Resurrection," had a script written for the next installment, but for Weaver, it lacked the challenge of the previous films. "I wasn't really interested in doing another Alien because Fox wanted us to come to Earth which I just thought was so boring," says Weaver. "I was like, oh my God, we'll be running through a mall and the Alien will be in Bloomingdale's or something." For the record, we'd be totally on board with a high-end-department-store-on-Black-Friday-set Alien sequel, as, whatever about prison planets and clone laboratories, that's a terror to which we can all relate. In any case, Weaver sends further good vibes to Charlize Theron who has the unenviable task of "following" Weaver's Ripley as the new female lead of an Alien movie.
"Well, you know [the iconic nature of Ripley] happened over four movies so let's give [Theron] a break. I'm sure they're not trying to create a blonde Ripley or anything. She's a wonderful actress, she'll want to do her own thing with it and not be in the shadow of the other one," she says. Indeed, Theron is playing the CEO of Weyland-Yutani, the shady company that sent Weaver and her crew into outer space in the first place, so she'll be adding a very different piece to the puzzle.
The "Alien" series also allowed Weaver the opportunity to work with some interesting talents on each of the subsequent films, including the now-stratospheric David Fincher on what was his feature debut in the notorious "Alien 3." The stories about that production are endless, but we had to ask Weaver about her reflections on that film.
"'Alien 3' was difficult in a sense," Weaver understates, "but I loved David Fincher, I loved the cast. What was hard was that we were under a lot of pressure to get the movie done and some movies are very hard to rush, so there was a lot of unnecessary tension." Smiling, she adds, "I think creativity thrives in an atmosphere of joy and love, but not everyone agrees with me…but I think we made a good movie. When I think of 'Alien 3,' I don't remember the pain, I just remember what we were trying to do."
More to come from our interview with Weaver very soon.

Dan Aykroyd Confirmed since August 24th 2011 that Ghostbusters 3 Will be made with or without Bill Murray. I guess Sigourney still doesn't know that but she will now because Dan Aykroyd Confirmed that Filming will began next Spring 2012 for a 2013 release and Production begans in January 2012. Get the facts straight. Dan told Bill that they have an Excellent GB3 Script just for him but if Bill says NO then GB3 Will still be made with the 3 Original GB's Dan,Harold and Ernie Training a New Team to help them out. Sigourney is my #1 Favorite Actress so I'm hoping that she will still be in GB3 Because I'll still see GB3 with my Girlfriend/Wife. Other GB Fans will still see GB3 with or without Bill Murray. If I was Bill I would do the movie. Come On Bill Stop being an Ass and be in GB3.

Rapace will lead and be the only survivor.Ups,major spoiler :D
James | December 15, 2011 7:34 PM
Is Charlize Theron really the lead in PROMETHEUS though? Noomi Rapace is listed first in the credits block, while Theron is at the end with an "and"... Rapace also seems to be front and center in all the stills so far...
Mina | December 15, 2011 5:51 PM
The "assembly cut" of ALIEN 3 is a near-masterpiece, and Sigourney's performance in it is probably the best of her career.
Daniel | December 15, 2011 3:38 PM
She's the greatest. What a class act.
Looking back on the restored cut of "Alien 3" with the hindsight of knowing that Fincher is awesome, I'm with Sigourney here. There are things that don't work but it's definitely a noble failure. In fact I might even like it more than the empty genre exercises of "Panic Room" or "The Game," to be honest.

The double tragedy endured by the family of Steven Reyes, a young man killed in Baldwin Park on November 2 in a similiar manner to his brother William Reyes in June, has increased by the fact that they cannot afford his funeral service.
The family has until Sunday, December 2 to raise nearly $2,000, which are needed to bury the former Baldwin Park High School student.
"What we are experiencing is very difficult, we haven't even been able to lay my brother to rest," said Hector Muniz, brother of the two victims. "We lived a double tragedy, we are asking people to help us however they can," he added.
Muniz, who has been collecting money from several businesses in the city, said his family must pay the money to the funeral home by Monday at the latest, in order to bury Steven.
Steven's murder shocked the community of Baldwin Park after he was gunned down on Maine Avenue while riding in a vehicle with two other passengers. One of them was injured.
His brother William, also died in a car-to-car shooting in June this year, near Center and Los Angeles St.
Homicide detectives with the Los Angeles County Sheriff are investigating both incidents as gang-related.
Funeral services for Steven will be held on Sunday, and his burial would take place on Monday. The family chose not to disclose the location of the services.
Anyone interested in helping the family of Steven and Guillermo Reyes can give a donation at any Wells Fargo branch, in the name of "Steven Reyes Memorial Fund."

If you have recently purchased a used Verizon cell phone -- either to replace a lost phone or to avoid going under another two-year contract -- you found that the phone is essentially useless until it is activated. The way you activate the phone depends on what type of phone it is. For instance, smartphones can generally be activated online, while basic feature phones may require dialing a specific number for programming. A call to Verizon customer service may be necessary.
Online Activation
Step 1
Go to Verizon's website for wireless phone customers (link in Resources) and click the "Sign In/Register" link. Type the phone number associated with your account and the password for the account. Click "Sign In."
Step 2
Turn off your phone and remove the back cover. Remove the battery from the phone to see the EIN/MEID number. Write this number down and then put the battery back in the phone. Don't turn it on yet. If your phone came with a SIM card, insert this into the SIM card slot if you haven't done so already.
Step 3
Click the "Activate or Switch Device" link listed under "Device" on your account homepage. Click "Next" to begin the activation process.
Step 4
Type in the EIN/MEID number you wrote down in the "ESN/MEID" field.
Step 5
Click "Next" to activate your phone. Turn your phone back on to complete the activation process. If your phone still does not work, call Verizon for assistance.
Step 1
Turn off your phone and then remove the back cover from your phone. Take out the battery. Locate the ESN/MEID number and write it down.
Step 2
Reinsert the battery and replace the back cover. Turn the phone on and allow it to power up.
Step 3
Dial *228 on your used cell phone.
Step 4
Press the "1" key when asked if you are calling to activate a new or used phone.
Step 5
Wait for the Verizon system to automatically program and activate your phone. The phone may reboot once or twice during the programming. After the programming and activation is done, the Verizon logo and cellular service bars show up on screen.
Verizon Customer Service
Step 1
Turn off your phone and remove the back cover. Remove the battery from the phone. Locate the ESN/MEID number and write it down on a piece of paper.
Step 2
Call Verizon's customer service number at 800-922-0204.
Step 3
Tell the customer service rep that you are attempting to activate a used phone on Verizon. If he cannot handle activation, he transfers you to the appropriate department.
Step 4
Follow the rep's instructions for completing the phone-activation process. You are asked for your ESN/MEID number that you wrote down previously, as well as information about your account. Don't turn on the phone until the rep tells you to.
- Consult your phone's owner manual if you are not sure how to remove the back cover or battery.
