Open for a limited time: Charitable Cosplay Shop
Another bit of exciting news!
I'm frequently asked if I sell prints of my cosplay work. I don't. From a personal perspective I'd rather keep my hobby just that, and not feel bogged down by blurring the lines and running a business.
However, I think I've found a happy medium! After coordinating with the many talented photographers I've worked with over the years, I've opened a limited shop with prints to benefit charity - specifically The Trevor Project. Please read the FAQ for more info on how the donation will be made, but note that all proceeds will make there way to the selected charity. I will not be making a profit from this store.
The shop must close on March 10 - I need enough time to fulfill orders before I leave for Dublin in April. All prints 8x10 and buy 4, get 1 free. Please indicate in the buyer's notes if you'd like them signed or personalized - I don't want to scribble all over the art unless it's what you're looking for!
I'd much appreciate help spreading the word so we can make a big donation! As always, thanks for the support!

Behind-The-Scenes With Project: Lex
Spent this weekend down in LA shooting Project: LEX with the most incredibly talented group of costumers, prop makers, and artists I've ever worked with. Here are a handful of phone snaps from this weekend - the final result will be stunning photos inspired by DC Universe Online by Adam Jay.
While I usually make my own costumes - including Atomic Wonder Woman and Warrior Wonder Woman - this one was provided to me as part of the project! Credits below.
Bracers: Carlos Blanchard
Breastplate/Boots: Hermes Barreto Neto
Skirt by: Prince Armory
Sword by: Tru Costumes & Props

Can't wait to share the final images once Adam has worked (more) magic!
Charity Art Auctions: Warrior Wonder Woman and Steampunk Lara Croft Bundles
Hello everyone! I've just listed two original art bundles on eBay to support a pair of great causes.
The first is an original Steampunk Lara Croft art bundle on to benefit the Mercy Corps and their work aiding Typhoon Haiyan survivors. The second bundle features original Warrior Wonder Woman art to benefit the American Red Cross and those displaced by the recent tornados across the Midwest.
Both packages feature a polished color illustration and concept sketch from the immensely talented Tess Fowler, as well as a signed cosplay photo of myself in the ensemble she inspired.
Check out the links for more details on the auctions, and let me know if you've got any questions about the art!
I'd super appreciate any reblogs you can spare - I'd like to get the word out there and nab a sizable donation for each piece!
Themyscira: Returning Home
After dreaming about bringing Warrior Wonder Woman to life for years, this shoot at the Palace of Fine Arts feels like the zenith of the project. The setting was perfect, the weather beautiful, and the photographer - Andrew Ho - incredibly talented. I actually felt like an Amazon at home on Themyscira.

Another Atomic Wonder Woman shot by Martin Wong!
Atomic Wonder Woman by Martin Wong
Martin Wong is an incredibly talented photographer! I had the pleasure of shooting my Atomic Wonder Woman costume with him this weekend, and am super happy with this shot. I love his trademark lighting and attention to detail. :)
You can read my costume construction notes here.
Here's a teaser from my Warrior Wonder Woman shoot with LJinto! I should have more up next week. You can find a few additional show floor photos here! :D
SDCC Showcase: Atomic Wonder Woman
Ready, set, ATOMIC! I instantly fell in love with Atomic Wonder Woman's design when this statue was revealed. Although a few people didn't recognize who I was without help from the belt buckle, this costume was received really well at SDCC. And it was super comfortable!
I'll do a comprehensive blog with construction notes at a later date, but the majority of the armor is made from Worbla and EVA foam. The concrete is expandable insulation foam coated with textured spray paint. You can check out some of my progress photos here!
Overall I'm really happy with how this costume turned out. I'm going to make a few small adjustments before I wear it again, like taking in the top so it fits better.
Thank you to the awesome photographers below for helping me capture Atomic Wonder Woman!

Portland Trail Blazers vs. New York Knicks
Tip-off: 1 P.M. Saturday, July 12
Where: COX Pavilion, Las Vegas, Nevada
Channels: CSNNW and NBATV
Portland Trail Blazers basketball is back! NBA Summer League in Las Vegas officially kicked off yesterday, and the Blazers start their summer league campaign Saturday against the New York Knicks.
In the first game of the summer league, it's incredibly important to get off to a good start. Of the teams playing in Las Vegas, the Blazers, led by assistant coach David Vanterpool, have one of the more veteran groups with multiple players who played during Portland's playoff run this season. This summer is about four players for Portland: C.J McCollum, Will Barton, Thomas Robinson, and Meyers Leonard. It's coming down to decision time, and if these players would like to stay and have an impact with the team, the offseason, summer league, and beginning of next season is incredibly important. If they can't rise to the challenge, general manager Neil Olshey will have to make some tough decisions, and ultimately, that means someone's getting traded or cut. So, it's incredibly important for those guys to get off to a hot start and prove they're worth keeping around.
As for the Blazers' opponent, the Knicks won their first game of summer league against the Dallas Mavericks, 76-64. The Knicks boast a handful of young talent, headlined by shooter and wing Tim Hardaway Jr., who scored 25 points against the Mavs. Hardaway Jr. will be hard to stop, as the Blazers don't have a real defensive stopper at wing on this summer league team, but that's what the Blazers are there for, to get better. Barton and McCollum will get the opportunity to improve on defense today with a good showing against Hardaway Jr.
That's enough chatter about the summer league for one morning, so kick back, relax, and enjoy Portland basketball over the next ten days. Oh, and get excited for next season! It's never too early!

A New Non-Fiction E-Comic by Josh Neufeld and Tori Marlan
Check out some images from "Stowaway", a collaboration between comics artists Josh Neufeld and reporter Tori Marlan. It's an "enhanced" non-fiction e-comic (read: lots of bells and whistles like background music, maps etc.) about the 12,000 mile journey of an Ethiopian boy to the United States — aided and abetted by saints and sinners. "Stowaway" is published by hipster, Brooklyn-based digital publisher The Atavist.

Crane's wireless monitor deflates tire-failure risk
Crane Aerospace & Electronics (Hall 5 Stand A24) is here at the show providing demonstrations of its SmartStem wireless tire pressure monitor, introduced two years ago on the Boeing 777. The technology replaces existing tire inflation valve stems with a special wireless tire pressure sensor valve that communicates tire pressure, temperature and other information to the cockpit or to a handheld reader.
Eris Haas, Crane's director of business development, showed off the company's newest handheld reader here at the show yesterday. The unit can store up to 10,000 readings, downloadable to a PC using a USB memory stick. Unlike battery-powered tire pressure monitors used in automotive applications, SmartStem technology is passive, allowing it to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, Haas explained.
SmartStem technology is standard aboard the Boeing 777, where tire pressure readings are delivered straight to the cockpit, and is being developed as part of the brake control and monitoring system for the Boeing 787. The monitors are also offered as optional equipment on the Cessna Citation X and Sovereign business jets.

Since my studio is still not ready I am not back into creating mode yet. I have to carve a little space and also have to allow myself to scrap a page instead of getting something organized.
It is not an easy task for me. I am an organization / cleaning freak LOL
The last thing I got organized were my Project Life Cards. I do also have a bunch of 12×12″ patterned paper that I bought with the purpose to cut them down and use as journaling cards so I decided to finally do it and sort the cards in my new PL cards box.
The card above with the "he is here" saying is part of the Crate Paper – Little Boy Blue – Accent cuts patterned paper sheet. I love the subtle colors and thought it would be great for an Easter layout. Osterhase means Easter Bunny, so the page is about his arrival last Easter Sunday
I paired the card with a sheet from the Little Boy Blue 6×6″ Paper Pad and some vintage book pages. The cloud badge is part of the Bike Season set available on my Etsy and Dawanda stores.
I am also looking forward to use my paper pads now they are all organized and easy to reach. Already loving my new studio space, even if it is a bit far from being ready.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi Eddie,
I agree, I wish you had monitored your blood pressure prior to starting an exercise routine. However, it's unlikely your elevated blood pressure is due to the physical activity. If I had to guess, I'd say your levels were high prior to starting the exercise.
Check out this post - Low Blood Pressure After Exercise
I encourage you to consult with your physician, stick with your exercise routine (which will help you lower blood pressure levels), and take additional steps to lower blood pressure - High Blood Pressure: 9 Steps to Rein in Skyrocketing Numbers
All the best,

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
It's just another small town school. the kids that were bullies when I went there, have kids that are bullies now. this town will never change. fortunately the TEACHERS love the children, and this is evident. they sure aren't paying them enough to do it otherwise.
The teachers leave tons to be desired and they favor the children who have the names that matter in this city. A child and parent would be better off going to one of the many private Christian schools in the area!
General academics are average. AP or fast track programs are corrupted by influential families that exclude true students of merit. Leadership is a huge shine on, dont expect to get anywhere. Huge home schooling comunity with same complaints of public schools in Buhl. Punitive discipline measures are the norm including social exclusion. Programs such as music or sports are classic sports such as football etc. Poor coaching quality. PE class is hoola hoops etc. Parental involvement is modest. Would be fantastic if better organized.
This school has the potential of being great! There is always room for improvement and I believe that more parents should get involved. I understand the communication breakdown but something has to be done to bridge this gap.
The teachers at this school are excellent. They go the extra mile. The school is located in among the junior high and high school. The smaller children get to see the older children. It is a good place. The only draw back to this school is that the administration is not parent friendly. The staff habitually twist the facts and cause problems for parents. The brag about involving parents, however, they exclude them at every turn. If you decide to enroll your child here be ready to fight the administration.

Sandra Bullock-Jesse James Divorce: A Done Dealby Free Britney at . Comments
Sandra Bullock didn't waste any time.
Not even four months after Jesse James' affairs with Michelle "Bombshell" McGee and other assorted hoes became exposed, the actress' divorce from him is final.
Both Sandra Bullock and her now-ex have signed the final documents, filed and sealed with the clerk's office in Travis County, Texas, within the last week.
Sources confirm the papers make the divorce final, although the contents, including all financial details of their split, will forever remain confidential.
Insiders do say the divorce clears the way for Sandra to complete a single parent adoption, however. Initially, both of them planned to adopt baby Louis.
DONE: Sandra Bullock and Jesse James would have celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary July 16. Alas, dude screwed up big time - literally and otherwise.
Bullock filed for divorce back on April 23, saying her marriage to James "has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities."
That's code for "my husband is a cheating jackass."
So what happens to their relationship going forward? It now appears reports of James moving to Texas to win Bullock back were only partially true.
He wants his children to continue to have a relationship with her, and getting away from his other ex-wife, Janine Lindemulder, is an added bonus.
Janine is on parole and can't leave California. Sucks to be her!
I love how he had to announce it even tghuoh she wore the ring out. No one cared enough to look or if they saw it they didn't even care to talk about it. He had to force people to talk about it.
At first Happy Birthday Sandra Bullock! I am very happy you devorced your ex-husband. I agree cheating is unacceptable.
I adore you, you are my very favourite Star! Danke.
Anna (BUNDOERA)Prazmowska
Sandra is a woman of integrity, has a solid set of values and knows right from wrong. Apparently Jesse thought he was so important in her life she would step away from those values. Which makes him.......oh I don't know.......STUPID. Yup, that fits.

Title: "Slow the spread" a national program to contain the gypsy moth
Author: Sharov, Alexei A.; Leonard, Donna; Liebhold, Andrew M.; Roberts, E. Anderson; Dickerson, Willard
Year: 2002
Publication: Journal of Forestry. July/August.
Key Words: entomology and pathology, integrated pest management, invasive species
Abstract: Invasions by alien species can cause substantial damage to our forest resources. The gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) represents one example of this problem, and we present here a new strategy for its management that concentrates on containment rather than suppression of outbreaks. The "Slow the Spread" project is a combined federal and state government effort to slow gypsy moth spread by detecting isolated colonies in grids of pheromone-baited traps placed along the expanding population front from Wisconsin to North Carolina. Detected colonies are treated using Bacillus thuringiensis or mating disruption. Analyses to date indicate that this project has reduced spread by more than 50 percent.

Giulia Bencini, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
Phone: 212 481 4435
Email: Giulia Bencini
Professional Interests: psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics. Courses Taught: Neural Processes of Communication, Adult Neurogenic Disorders, Communication processes related to aging, Language Science, Phonetics
Dr. Bencini is originally from Italy, where she studied Linguistics at the University of Florence. She obtained her PhD in Linguistics from the University of Illinois in 2002, specializing in psycholinguistics. From 2004-2008 she was an National Institute of Health funded post-doctoral research fellow working at the Language Acquisition Research Center, at Hunter College-CUNY. Dr. Bencini is an Associate Professor in the Department of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology at the Hunter College Brookdale Health Sciences campus.
Dr. Bencini's research investigates the knowledge representations and processes underlying the unique human ability to produce and understand new sentences. She adopted an interdisciplinary approach that combines insights and methods from linguistic theory, psycholinguistics, and language pathology. Different research projects examine the mapping between linguistic meaning and linguistic form in typical and atypical language development, in adult language use, and language impairment. Some of the questions that guide this research program are: What are the nature and format of children's early sentence-level representations? What linguistic representations are used during language processing – comprehension and production? What is the interplay between linguistic knowledge and more general cognitive factors such as memory? What is the nature of language impairments? Do they reflect impaired knowledge, or defective access to knowledge?

Muscle Tissue and the Mode of Contraction Help
Muscle Tissue and the Mode of Contraction
There are three types of muscle tissue: smooth, cardiac, and skeletal. Each type has a different structure and function, and each occurs in a different location in the body.
Muscle functions include:
- Motion. Body movements such as walking, breathing, and speaking, as well as movements associated with digestion and the flow of fluids.
- Heat production.
- Posture and body support.
Microscopic Structure of Muscle
Because muscle cells resemble tiny threads, they are called muscle fibers. Each skeletal muscle fiber is a multinucleated, striated cell containing a large number of rodlike myofibrils that extend the entire length of the cell. Each myofibril is composed of still smaller units, called myofilaments (or filaments). Thin myofilaments are composed primarily of the contractile protein actin and thick myofilaments contain primarily the contractile protein myosin.
Structure of Myofilaments
Thick filament: Shaped like a golf club, each myosin protein has a long rod portion, and a globular head. The myosin head contains an actin binding site and a myosin ATPase binding site. The strands of the rod portion bind together with their globular head projecting outward to form the thick filaments that lie between the thin filaments (Figure 7-1).
Thin filament: The thin filament is composed of the proteins actin, tropomyosin, and troponin. Two long strands of actin molecules form the backbone of the thin myofilaments. Long, thin, threadlike tropomyosin proteins spiral around and cover the myosin binding sites on the actin helix. The troponin molecule fastens the ends of the tropomyosin molecule to the actin helix (Figure 7-2). In skeletal and cardiac muscle the thick and thin myofilaments overlap within the myofibril in a distinctive pattern called a sarcomere. The sarcomere is the structural and functional unit of the myofibril.
The regular overlapping pattern of thin and thick filaments within the myofibrils is responsible for the cross-banding striations seen in skeletal and cardiac muscle. The dark bands contain the thick filaments and are called A bands. The lighter bands, the I bands, are regions where only thin filaments occur. The I bands are bisected by dark Z lines where the thin filaments of adjacent sarcomeres join.
Structure of a Muscle Fiber (Cell)
The sarcolemma (cell membrane) of a muscle fiber encloses the sarcoplasm (cytoplasm). The sarcoplasm is permeated by a network of membranous channels, called the sarcoplasmic (endoplasmic) reticulum, that forms sleeves around the myofibrils. The longitudinal tubes of sarcoplasmic reticulum empty into expanded chambers called terminal cisternae. Calcium ions (Ca2+) are stored in the terminal cisternae and play an important role in regulating muscle contraction.
Transverse tubules (T tubules) are internal extensions of the sarcolemma that extend perpendicular to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The T tubules pass between adjacent segments of terminal cisternae and penetrate deep into the interior of the muscle fiber to allow the action potential from the cell surface to be delivered into the center of the fiber.

An open TLD for the creative class.
.ink is part of a massive TLD expansion to make the Internet more representative of the many communities and passions that it enables. You can now register the perfect domain name for your site to highlight your art, tattoos, publications, and all the other creative things you do.
What's a TLD, anyway?
You're already familiar with top level domains — ".com," ".org," and ".gov" are all TLD's. ICANN, the international organization responsible for changes to internet protocol, recently decided to open up the field of TLD's — the familiar stable of standard domains is welcoming hundreds of new faces, like .food, .blog, and of course, .ink.

Pretty interesting EPSN Insider article which is up right now about JaMarcus Russell and Mark Sanchez. Since most of you probably can't access it, it's also been summed up on Deadspin.
Vince Verhei presents the stats - JaMarcus Russell, 2008-09: 198-for-368, 2,423 yards, 13 TDs. Mark Sanchez, 2009-10: 196-for-364, 2,444 yards, 12 TDs. The difference? Sanchez threw way more picks.
From Verhei's article:
Russell started 15 games at age 23 in 2008; Sanchez started 15 games at age 23 in 2009. The biggest difference is in interceptions, where Sanchez was significantly worse, throwing 20 interceptions to Russell's eight.
Yikes. So Sanchez threw 12 more picks than Russell did his rookie season.
This doesn't necessarily mean that Sanchez will become the next JaMarcus Russell, of course, but it does seem to shed some light on the idiocy of people praising Sanchez so profusely for leading the Jets through the postseason. It's the defense and running game that have done that folks, not Sanchez.
Mark Sanchez is having a worse statistical rookie season than JaMarcus Russell had

Are We Living Inside a Computer Simulation?
The popular film trilogy, The Matrix, presented a cyberuniverse where humans live in a simulated reality created by sentient machines.
Now, a philosopher and team of physicists imagine that we might really be living inside a computer-generated universe that you could call The Lattice. What's more, we may be able to detect it.
In 2003, British philosopher Nick Bostrom published a paper that proposed the universe we live in might in fact really be a numerical computer simulation. To give this a bizarre Twilight Zone twist, he suggested that our far-evolved distant descendants might construct such a program to simulate the past and recreate how their remote ancestors lived.
He felt that such an experiment was inevitable for a supercivilization. If it didn't happen by now, then in meant that humanity never evolved that far and we're doomed to a short lifespan as a species, he argued.
To extrapolate further, I'd suggest that artificial intelligent entities descended from us would be curious about looking back in time by simulating the universe of their biological ancestors.
As off-the-wall as this sounds, a team of physicists at the University of Washington (UW) recently announced that there is a potential test to seen if we actually live in The Lattice. Ironically, it would be the first such observation for scientifically hypothesized evidence of intelligent design behind the cosmos.
The UW team too propose that super-intelligent entities, bored with their current universe, do numerical simulations to explore all possibilities in the landscape of the underlying quantum vacuum (from which the big bang percolated) through universe simulations. "This is perhaps the most profound quest that can be undertaken by a sentient being," write the authors.
Before you dismiss this idea as completely loony, the reality of such a Sim Universe might solve a lot of eerie mysteries about the cosmos. About two-dozen of the universe's fundamental constants happen to fall within the narrow range thought to be compatible with life. At first glance it seems as unlikely as balancing a pencil on its tip. Jiggle these parameters and life as we know it would have never appeared. Not even stars and galaxies. This is called the Anthropic principle.
ANALYSIS: Building the Universe Inside a Supercomputer
The discovery of dark energy over a decade ago further compounds the universe's strangeness. This sort of "antigravity" pushing space-time apart is the closest thing there is to nothing and still is something. This energy from the vacuum of space is 60 orders of magnitude weaker that what would be predicted by quantum physics.The eminent cosmologist Michael Turner ranks dark energy as "the most profound mystery in all of science."
We are also living at a very special time in the universe's history where it switched gears from decelerating to accelerating under the push of dark energy. This begs the question "why me why now?" (A phrase popularly attributed to Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan in 1994 when she was attacked and crippled by an opponent.)
If dark energy were slightly stronger the universe would have blown apart before stars formed. Any weaker and the universe would have imploded long ago. Its incredibly anemic value has been seen as circumstantial evidence for parallel universes with their own flavor of dark energy that is typically destructive. It's as if our universe won the lottery and got all the physical parameters just right for us to exist.
Finally, an artificial universe solves the Fermi Paradox (where are all the space aliens?) by implying that we truly are alone in the universe. It was custom made for us by our far-future progeny.
Biblical creationists can no doubt embrace these seeming cosmic coincidences as unequivocal evidence for their "theory" of Intelligent Design (ID). But is our "God" really a computer programmer rather than a bearded old man living in the sky?
Currently, supercomputers using a impressive-sounding technique called lattice quantum chromodynamics, and starting from the fundamental physical laws, can simulate only a very small portion of the universe. The scale is a little larger than the nucleus of an atom, according UW physicist Martin Savage. Mega-computers of the far future could greatly expand the size of the Sim Universe.
ANALYSIS: Artificial Universe Created Inside a Supercomputer
If we are living in such a program, there could be telltale evidence for the underlying lattice used in modeling the space-time continuum, say the researchers. This signature could show up as a limitation in the energy of cosmic rays. They would travel diagonally across the model universe and not interact equally in all directions, as they otherwise would be expected to do according to present cosmology.
If such results were measured, physicists would have to rule out any and all other natural explanations for the anomaly before flirting with the idea of intelligent design. (To avoid confusion with the purely faith-based creationist ID, this would not prove the existence of a biblical God, because you'd have to ask the question "why does God need a lattice?")
If our universe is a simulation, then those entities controlling it could be running other simulations as well to create other universes parallel to our own. No doubt this would call for, ahem, massive parallel processing.
If all of this isn't mind-blowing enough, Bostrom imagined "stacked" levels of reality, "we would have to suspect that the post-humans running our simulation are themselves simulated beings; and their creators, in turn, may also be simulated beings. Here may be room for a large number of levels of reality, and the number could be increasing over time."
To compound this even further, Bostrom imagined a hierarchy of deities, "In some ways, the post-humans running a simulation are like gods. However, all the demigods except those at the fundamental level of reality are subject to sanctions by the more powerful gods living at lower levels."
If the parallel universes are all running on the same computer platform could we communicate with them? If so, I hope the Matrix's manic Agent Smith doesn't materialize one day.
To borrow from the title of Isaac Asimov's novel I Robot, the human condition might be described as I Subroutine.

OMB requires agencies to use automated reporting tool, not spreadsheets, to submit FISMA data
Agencies must use an automated reporting tool to show their compliance with the Federal Information Security Management Act this year, Obama administration officials have said.
This year the Office of Management and Budget will only accept annual FISMA reports from agencies submitted with a new automated reporting tool that will allow manual data entry and an automated upload of data, OMB said in a memo to heads of departments and agencies. Previously, the agencies reported data by using spreadsheets.
"The reporting categories and questions are generally the same as last year, and the report will cover the same areas as in previous years," Jeffrey Zients, OMB's deputy director for management and Vivek Kundra, the federal CIO, said in the memo dated Aug. 20. "However, while the content of the report has changed little since 2008, the means of collection have changed substantially."
The administration officials said CIOs, inspectors general and privacy officials – all officials who report data to OMB on FISMA compliance – will have to use the new tool. OMB said a test version of the tool will be available this month and that because of the new collection system, the reports will be due Nov. 18.
In a response letter dated June 23 included in a recent report on agencies' information security from the Government Accountability Office, Kundra said OMB was planning to move FISMA reporting for fiscal 2009 to an Internet-enabled database.
Kundra called the current process is "both manual and cumbersome" and said the automation would allow for more evaluative metrics, such as performance metrics, to be collected.
Meanwhile, OMB also said agencies should use the automated reporting tool to submit separate documents showing how their policies for securing personally identifiable information and notifying people about data breaches have changed. Agencies should submit:
"Agency reports must reflect the agency head's determination of the adequacy and effectiveness of information security and privacy policies, procedures, and practices," the memo said.

Havergal: Elettricita
The mark of minimalist composers Erik Satie, Steve Reich and Terry Riley have all been left on Havergal and can be traced throughout Havergal's second album Elettricita. The strength of the single note (versus the fat meaty chord) is something that Havergal has always embraced. And with unlimited tracking, the cactus needled single notes of Lungs for the Race have blossomed a bit on Elettricita, retaining that fragile sound while finding strength in numbers — an army of individual notes so deep in number that the land they tra-verse becomes unrecognizable in their wake. The music meanders as the hypnotic rhythms build upon one another and change into slow beach breaks. In the studio, Havergal does not set out to record an event that occurs in a moment in time, but rather to create a sound collage that can only be created in his home studio. Havergal's commitment to make a modern music that is beyond his personal abilities — relying on technology to multi-track very simple parts forty times over. Yet the music still retains a very humanistic quality, conveying moods of the most complicated sort. Yes, this highly processed music has a subtle pastoral quality to it that allows it to transcend the glitch pop soup of the day. Movietone, Califone, early Tangerine Dream and Eno's Another Green World are interesting touchstones for one looking for kindred spirits. And thank goodness for the healthy portions of piano served up on this new record. With the sublime guitar and piano interplay on songs such as album opener "Drowned Men", "The Fallen Hopeless Hope" and "Burn Up the Bay", the bliss-out potential for the lis-tener remains quite high. The tunes are timeless, immersed in an ancient static while pulsing with a futuristic beat. And through it all is the voice of a cowboy of the most contemporary sort.
Havergal: Lungs for the Race
After a handful of highly praised singles, compilation appearances and a brilliant instrumental EP, Havergal comes forth with its debut full-length. An opus three years in the making, LUNGS FOR THE RACE is a true loner of a record, a desolate and static-y transmission from somewhere between our distant past and our distant future. Fusing the skewed pop sensibility of Modest Mouse, and the lo-fi electronics of Piano Magic and Arab Strap, Havergal seems propped on the crest of something new and exciting. With the four-track revolution of the 80's and 90's shimmering in the cultural rearview mirror, Havergal waves in a new era of bedroom songwriters. Yes, we are now in a digital world of zipdisc 8-tracks, 16-bit samplers and drum machines. But all is not lost and forgotten. On LUNGS FOR THE RACE the new textures and technology melds with the old standby's of thin guitars, pawn shop rhodes and the same modern daily challenges that have been on the backs of people living in the Now since the Stone Age. It's actually a comfort to know that in the everchanging tides of time, there's still so much to be uncertain about. From the heart of Texas, Havergal has appeared in our midst like a modern treatise on the state of the ageless America, negotiating the gulf between tradition and progress like a young gosling shuffling about with the grace of the great tumbleweed diaspora. The album tackles themes heavily weighed down by the American condition (disillusionment and waning dignity in a bored and monotonous landscape, unfulfilled and unrequited love in a sprawling and mostly-empty emotional basin, among other dreadful thematic afflictions). Yet we still hesitate to describe this record as a distinctly American work. Moreso, LUNGS FOR THE RACE feels like an American album made through a European lens -- a 46-minute Wenders-like portraiture. It is indeed a minimalist pop masterwork, The Last Picture Show with a drum machine beat and a cleanly-toned guitar along with the most probing of intentions. Havergal principal Ryan Murphy is not one to let the day pass slowly. Aside from all the tune-smithing, he runs the Texas-based Western Vinyl label (which released Havergal's first two singles), and spends his days as an architect.

Event detail
Works by Avinash Chandra, Balraj Khanna & Manisha Parekh
Balraj Khanna (b.1940) came to England in the early 1960's and is one of the foremost Indian artists, known not only for his painting but also as a curator and for his journalism and writing, best known for his award-winning novel 'Nation of Fools'. Khanna's pictures express his unique pictorial language, iconic images that seem to float across the canvas. In 2001, he was commissioned to paint the safety curtain of the refurbished Hippodrome Theatre, Birmingham, the largest work of Public Art in a theatre. First shown at the gallery in 1993 Khanna's work has featured in our inventory ever since.
Manisha Parekh (b.1964) is a highly respected Indian painter and sculptor, based in Delhi. During her career she has exhibited in India, Europe and USA and had a solo show at Osborne Samuel in 2006. Her work is often in series; although abstract the forms are organic and tactile with an evident sense of narrative. Parekh's use of material is a hallmark of her work. Her delicate yet complex structures are assembled from textured handmade papers, rope, cord and other natural elements.
Avinash Chandra (1931-1991) was one of the group of young progressive Indian artists who trained in India but came to Britain to advance their careers. Chandra made his home in London and exhibited widely throughout his life, participating in many ground-breaking exhibitions such as the Hayward Gallery, London in 1989. Osborne Samuel represent the estate of Avinash Chandra and we have chosen a small group of very important and representative works, showing the transition from landscape painting to the more exuberant figure based pictures which characterise his later career.

All the big stories of the week to make you a Broadway insider!
Broadway Buzz: September 15, 2013
A new season is heating up on Broadway and I've got all your newsy bits right here!
Everyone's heads exploded when we heard that Neil Patrick Harris would be returning to Broadway in a revival of Hedwig & The Angry Inch, and now it's all official with a theatre and opening date! The musical with text by John Cameron Mitchell, music/lyrics by Stephen Trask, and directed by Tony winner Michael Mayer will open Tuesday, April 22, 2014 at the Belasco Theatre, with previews beginning March 29, 2014.
If you don't know about Hedwig, the show was called "the best rock musical ever" by Rolling Stone and "the most exciting rock score written for the theatre since, oh, ever," by Time Magazine. And lest ye forget, this is the first appearance for NPH on Broadway since he starred in the 2004 Tony-winning revival of Assassins. He's gearing up to host the Primetime Emmy Awards on Sept 22, as well, where he could snag his fourth Emmy as host and producer of the 2012 Tony Awards, joining his other two for hosting and another for his guest-starring role on Glee.
Rehearsals began in Manhattan this week for Harold Pinter's No Man's Land and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot starring Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Billy Crudup and Shuler Hensley. The limited-engagement repertory season begins previews at the Cort Theatre October 26 with the official opening on Sunday, November 24. This limited season will run for 14 weeks only. For performance schedule and more information, visit TwoPlaysInRep.com. Incidentally, last weekend Patrick Stewart married Brooklyn songwriter Sunny Ozell with none other than his Broadway and X-Men co-star Ian McKellen to officiate the ceremony! Congrats to all!
History in the making! Last Saturday, the Tony, Olivier and Grammy Award-winning Best Musical Jersey Boys surpassed Fiddler on the Roof as the 15th longest-running show in Broadway history, playing its 3,243rd performance on September 7 at The August Wilson Theatre! The show's been seen by over 18 million people worldwide, currently playing NYC, Las Vegas, London and on a national tour, with a production set to open soon in The Netherlands. Now go back and sing this whole paragraph in your Frankie Valli falsetto voice!
Some casting news for ya: three-time Tony nominee Rebecca Luker joined the cast of Cinderella last week, stepping in as Marie, Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, for Tony winner Victoria Clark who is on temporary leave to appear in The Snow Geese, as I previously reported to you. Luker plays the role through January 19. Also four-time Tony nominee Tovah Feldshuh (Golda's Balcony, Lend Me a Tenor), who recently filled in for Tony winner Andrea Martin while on vacay, will officially replace her as Berthe in the Tony winning revival of Pippin. Martin is leaving to star in a new Canadian TV show, playing her last performance September 22. And the upcoming musical adaptation of the 1976 Academy Award winning Best Picture Rocky has chosen its leading man to play the iconic role, and it's Jersey Boys and Edwin Drood star Andy Karl! They've also said that newcomer Margo Seibert will make her debut as Adrian. They take over the Winter Garden from Mamma Mia for previews on February 11, 2014 with an official opening on March 13.
Today, Sunday, September 15, The Fantasticks has a lot to celebrate. They'll be playing their 20,000th New York performance, the first time any production on OR off-Broadway has ever reached such a mark. It can be safely said it is the world's longest running musical. If you've never had the chance to see the modern twist on Romeo & Juliet, or want to re-live great memories and songs, be sure to see them at The Jerry Orbach Theatre (fittingly named for its original and beloved star) at The Snapple Theatre in the heart of midtown. www.SnappleTheatre.com
Alright, I've got you covered for another week, be sure to watch this space for all you need to know to show-off what a Bway insider you are!
This week's show features one of my fav directors ever: Baz Luhrmann! And the ridiculously talented & handsome Patrick Wilson too! Tune into SIRIUSXM 72 Sat 8p, Sun 12p, Thu 9p ET, or On Demand via our apps or online media player. So fun & charming!
Broadway Buzz: September 7, 2013
Theatre lovers of the world: UNITE! Here's your weekly spot to get all the big Broadway stories you need to know:
Incredibly exciting news this week that the Tony-winning Sam Mendes & Rob Marshall production of CABARET will be revived by The Roundabout Theatre Company, returning to "The Kit Kat Club" at Studio 54! Best of all, it will star Alan Cumming, reprising his role as the Emcee, the same role that won him his 1998 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical. Joining him is multi-Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain, My Week with Marilyn) as Sally Bowles, making her Broadway debut. It will play a 24-week limited engagement beginning previews March 21 with an official opening night on April 24, 2014.
Also arriving on Broadway early next year, Disney's Aladdin, a new stage adaptation of the 1992 Academy Award-winning animated film musical, coming to the New Amsterdam Theatre February 26th with an official opening March 20, 2014. Music by the great Alan Menken, lyrics from the film by the late Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, and a new book and lyrics by Chad Beguelin (Elf, Wedding Singer), and direction by Tony winner Casey Nicholaw (Book of Mormon). No casting news just yet, but when I know…you'll know!
Tony nominees Bertie Carvel (Miss Trunchbull) & Lauren Ward (Miss Honey) departed the company of Matilda the Musical at the end of last week. Stepping in on Tuesday was Jill Paice (Curtains, Woman in White) who made her 1st performance as planned. Unfortunately Craig Bierko (Music Man, Guys & Dolls) had to delay his 1st appearance as Miss Trunchbull due to a minor injury. Understudy Chris Hoch (La Cage, Shrek) will continue to cover until a new start date is announced.
This Wednesday, the smash hit Wicked surpassed Miss Saigon and became the 11th longest-running show in Broadway history, playing its 4,093rd performance! What can I say, it's "Pop-UUU-ler…uh, LAR". They'll be celebrating their 10th anniversary at The Gershwin next month, and are about to launch a Spanish language production in Mexico City, making nine worldwide productions: NY, London, Japan, Australia/New Zealand, South Korea, a UK tour and 2 North American tours.
Welcome to Broadway Big Fish and The Glass Menagerie! Both shows gave their 1st preview performances this Thursday. The new musical Big Fish is based on the Tim Burton film and stars 2-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz, Kate Baldwin (Finian's Rainbow) & Bobby Steggert (Ragtime) with music/lyrics by Andrew Lippa (Wild Party, Addams Family), book by frequent Tim Burton collaborator John August, and direction by none other than 5-time Tony winner Susan Stroman. Listen out for a couple of unreleased songs on SIRIUSXM! The revival of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie has me very curious, with direction by Tony winner John Tiffany, who brings with him nearly the entire creative team from Once The Musical, and has incorporated music by Nico Muhly & movement by Stephen Hoggett. How's that for a straight play? It also features the incredible Tony & Emmy winning Cherry Jones (The Heiress, TV's 24), Zachary Quinto (Star Trek, TV's Heroes) making his Broadway debut, and 2-time Tony nominee Celia Keenan-Bolger (Spelling Bee, Peter & The Starcatcher).
The downtown sensation Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, which concluded a hit summer engagement last weekend, will take up residence in the Theater District, on West 45th Street, for a 14-week limited run beginning September 24th. Since its first production at Ars Nova in the fall of 2012, the show has become a smash, leading to an expansion this summer to a 199 seat pop-up supper club built specifically for the production in the Meatpacking District. After playing to packed houses since May, producers will bring Dave Malloy's acclaimed electropop opera, ripped from a slice of War and Peace, and its opulent custom venue - Kazino - to the heart of the theater district. The show has also recorded its cast album, and a 2-disc set is scheduled for release on Ghostlight Records. "Natasha" continues a new trend in NY theatre toward immersive, interactive, experiential shows like Punchdrunk's Sleep No More. What do YOU think of this new approach to theatre? Have you seen any? Fan or foe? Tweet me your thoughts @julie_james!
That's all the "Great Big Stuff" for this week – see you on air and online & I'll be back with you for next week's scoop!
Broadway Buzz: August 31, 2013
Hey theatre peeps! Here's a glimpse at what made the world of Broadway go round this week!
The lights of all Broadway marquis' dimmed this past Wednesday at 7:45 PM for exactly one minute in honor of celebrated stage & screen star Julie Harris, who passed August 24 at the age of 87. Harris was one of the most admired performers of her generation, widely acclaimed for her work especially in the theatre where her career lasted more than six decades & over 30 Broadway productions. She was the first person to win five Tony Awards for performance and was nominated ten times, the most ever for a performer. Her Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre made a total of six Tony Awards. Harris also won 3 Emmy Awards, a Grammy, and was nominated for an Academy Award. She was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 1994 and in 2005 she was a Kennedy Center honoree.
Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding, Jr. gave his final performance in the critically acclaimed revival of Horton Foote's The Trip to Bountiful on Tuesday, due to a change in schedule for an upcoming film project. This was a Broadway debut for Cuba (which I had fun discussing on "Broadway Names" with him) and he can currently be seen nationwide in the hit film, Lee Daniels' The Butler. Cast member Leon Addison Brown assumes the role of "Ludie" alongside Tony Winner Cicely Tyson, Emmy nominee & recording star Vanessa Williams, Tony nominee Tom Wopat, and rising star Adepero Oduye.The production, which has been extended twice due to popular demand, plays through October 9 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.
It's nice to know the First Family is a Broadway lovin' family! First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia saw a couple of shows this past weekend, including catching one of Cuba Gooding's last performances in The Trip to Bountiful and taking in the matinee of Motown the Musical the next afternoon. A play and a musical – how well rounded! Both shows greeted the ladies with uproarious applause and a standing ovation!
It's been reported that Academy & Tony Award winner Geoffery Rush, most recently seen on Broadway in Exit the King, will play 'Man in Chair' in a film version of the 5-time Tony-winning musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone. Rush played the role in the Australian premiere of the musical at the Melbourne Theatre Company in 2010, and is set to Executive Produce the film musical. Shooting is expected to begin next year.
I guess all good things must come to an end: Two-time Tony winner Andrea Martin will depart her high-flying role as 'Berthe' in the Tony-winning Best Revival Pippin. She'll play her final performance on September 22nd and begin work on a new TV series "Working the Engels" which will film in Toronto. Watch this space for casting news on Andrea's replacement!
Rehearsals began in NYC this week for a world premiere play, The Snow Geese, starring Tony and Emmy Award winner Mary-Louise Parker joined by four-time Tony nominee Danny Burstein, Tony winner Victoria Clark and directed by Tony winner Daniel Sullivan. The play reunites Parker with Sullivan, who directed her in Proof, for which both Parker and Sullivan received Tony Awards for their work. Previews begin October 1 for a strictly limited 11 week engagement at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
Well about the only thing good about the unofficial end-of-summer is a new season of theatre getting underway. Lots of shows beginning performances in September – stay tuned here & on air for all the scoop!
