Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead
by Tom Stoppard
Co-Directed by Brad Norris and Ariella McCown
Acclaimed as a modern dramatic masterpiece, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead is the fabulously inventive tale of Hamlet as told from the worm's-eve view of the bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters in Shakespeare's play. In Tom Stoppard's best-known work, this Shakespearean Laurel and Hardy finally get a chance to take the lead role, but do so in a world where reality and illusion intermix, and where fate leads our two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end.

Singer/songwriter Shayna Leigh will release her debut album Tenderness on September 17, 2013 and is touring through the Northeast this summer, including shows in New York, Philadelphia and Annapolis, MD.
This New York City based artist has spent the last two months gearing up for the album's debut, performing to a standing room only audience at The Living Room in May and treating fans to an outstanding performance at The Phoenix Fest in La Plata, MD on Memorial Day weekend. She recently judged a vocal competition for the new television show "Empire City's Lucky Break," which aired on June 8th on WLNY-TV.
"Next To Me" You LYRIC Video Link
The musical spirit of New York City, especially the evocative songs of the Brill Building and pop-renaissance era of the 1950s and '60s — the music of Goffin & King and Bacharach & David, The Lovin' Spoonful and The Rascals — resonates on this striking debut. Shayna has tapped into that DNA strain of what it's like to soak in the timeless essence of New York, a mood and feeling that pulses throughout Tenderness. Producer Matt Pierson, and the sextet of studio players that he assembled, intuitively picked up on the "old school pop vibe" on the "cover sessions," and the original songs composed by and with (and produced by) Nashville-based songwriter Paula Winger bring that classic pop sensibility up to date.
Working with Shayna on her album repertoire quickly became a labor of love for Mitchell Cohen, an A&R veteran with more than three decades of music industry experience under his belt at Arista, Columbia and Verve Records. "We'd have
these listening sessions," Mitchell recalls, "it was love at first sight (or first listen) for Chip Taylor's "Any Way That You Want Me," the timeless, high-impact 1969 ballad by Evie Sands. "It's the softest loudest song you've ever heard," Shayna says. "And I thought, I can do that, this is what I'm looking for, this is what I wanted, I'm in."
The next keeper was "Darling Be Home Soon" by John Sebastian of the Lovin' Spoonful to be followed by Paul Simon's "Tenderness" which proved such a compassionate fit that it earned the album title tune slot. Bacharach & David's "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" (via Dusty Springfield and Dionne Warwick) conjures up the restlessness of post-breakup lonely nights. And soon after hearing the Dusty Springfield and Lesley Gore versions of the Rascals' "How Can I Be Sure," Shayna began having dreams in the melody of the song.
Given Shayna's desire for the album to showcase her songwriting abilities, Mitchell suggested she go to Nashville to write and record with Paula Winger. Together they wrote three songs in two days, two of which ended up on the album, along with "Drive Away," an assertive pop song that Paula co-wrote with Stephanie Lewis. As Shayna explains about "Next To Me," the album's first single (and video); "It came from the idea that, 'I really wish that I were a super carefree person, one of those people who doesn't see consequences, who does what they want, when they want, with sunflowers in the windowsill, talking to strangers, not bringing a jacket. The second Winger-Leigh collaboration on the album is the poignant "Map Of My Heart," a song about a relationship that is no longer what it once was, "and saying goodbye to that."
Shayna Leigh Albertson was born and raised in Winter Park, an idyllic suburb of Orlando, home of Nickelodeon and Disney World. She was a game, energetic youngster, who tried gymnastics (too fearful), girls basketball (too small), and figure skating (not adventurous enough), before finally wangling permission to audition for a local television commercial. Like most kids her age around Orlando, it was all about radio XL-106.7 FM, with Britney and Justin and N*SYNC. "I loved the boy band thing, I was all in. I was 100% in my generation at that time, but I couldn't see a musical place for myself there."
She made her way to New York and enrolled at NYU's Tisch School of Fine Arts as a drama student. College turned out to be a dark time of soul-searching for Shayna, after which she was determined to pursue a musical career. Her initial step was to do some recording in Los Angeles and New York. Ten songs were completed in the studio, and although the results were never released, it was a learning experience that put Shayna on the next step of her career.
"I will never be unhappy again," Shayna says. "Because if I'm unhappy, I'm doing something wrong and I should go somewhere else. My fundamental goal is to be uplifting. I was taught that we are here to make other people's lives better. That doesn't mean forget your own dreams. It means be kind, be funny. When you're with someone, try to make a positive impact. The world is changed in small positive gestures. I do believe that."
Tenderness is set for release on September 17, 2013. Shayna's summer tour dates are posted below.

A singularly effervescent novel pivoting around the disappearance of an American businessman in the Philippines and the long-suffering son, jilted lover, slick police commissioner, misguided villain, and supernatural saviors who all want a piece of him.
Mourning the recent loss of his mother, twentysomething Benicio--aka Benny--travels to Manila to reconnect with his estranged father, Howard. But when he arrives his father is nowhere to be found--leaving an irritated son to conclude that Howard has let him down for the umpteenth time. However, his father has actually been kidnapped by a meth-addled cabdriver, with grand plans to sell him to local terrorists as bait in the country's never-ending power struggle between insurgents, separatists, and "democratic" muscle.
Benicio's search for Howard reveals more about his father's womanizing ways and suspicious business deals, reopening the old hurts that he'd hoped to mend. Interspersed with the son's inquiry and the father's calamitous life in captivity are the high-octane interconnecting narratives of Reynato Ocampo, the local celebrity-hero policeman charged with rescuing Howard; Ocampo's ragtag team of wizardry-infused soldiers; and Monique, a novice officer at the American embassy whose family still feels feverishly unmoored in the Philippines.
With blistering forward momentum, crackling dialogue, wonderfully bizarre turns, and glimpses into both Filipino and expat culture, the novel marches toward a stunning climax, which ultimately challenges our conventional ideas of family and identity and introduces Yates as a powerful new voice in contemporary literature.
From the Hardcover edition.
Chapter 1
mr. orange
A man and a rooster exit a taxi idling on a crowded street. The man is short and thin, and the rooster is green, and the rooster belongs to him. The taxi belongs to him as well. He's wearing a fresh shirt, the blood all washed out, and his polyester slacks shine a little in the afternoon light. He's too young to be balding, but is. His mouth is a rotten mess, owing to bad hygiene and a shabu habit. His name is Ignacio. He and the rooster are villains.
Ignacio grips the open taxi door and stretches his legs. It feels good to be standing. The drive south from Manila should have taken only an hour, but he demanded that Littleboy--his idiot brother--make wrong turns so they'd be harder to follow. He'd barked instructions from the backseat, where he and Kelog pored over a soggy map and planned intricate double-backs. Kelog is the rooster. He's named Kelog because he's green, with red and orange in his tail, and a blood-red comb, like the rooster on the cereal. He used to be a fighting cock. He still would be, if not for the onset of blindness. He's retired now.
Littleboy stays in the family taxi, drumming his fingers on the wheel and singing along to the SexBomb Girls on the radio. Littleboy loves the family taxi. He never minds picking up Ignacio's shifts, and people tip him better, because he's a safer driver and doesn't look so scary. He looks big and soft. When the song ends he leans out the window and calls over to his brother.
"Is this it, Iggy? Are we there yet?"
"Not so loud, dummy!" Ignacio shouts. "What did I tell you?"
Littleboy looks embarrassed and squints. He hadn't been loud at all.
Ignacio holds Kelog tight and releases the open taxi door like a mother's hand. He steps into the after-lunch foot traffic, searches out a number above the shops and checks it with the address he'd written on his palm the night before. They're in the right spot--or close to it at least. They'll walk the final distance on side streets, just to be safe.
"Go park the car," Ignacio says. "I'll make sure we're alone."
"Be careful," Littleboy says, thumbing the scented Virgin Mother statuette on the dashboard. Ignacio watches him courteously reenter the slow moving traffic and then signal--who signals?--at the intersection ahead. He again thinks that maybe his brother isn't up to today's challenge. On a whole bunch of levels. Like maybe he's too softhearted. Or maybe he doesn't have sense enough to know he should be scared. Ignacio sure has sense enough. He's terrified. He appreciates the seriousness of the shit he's starting.
Ignacio shifts Kelog to his other arm, leans against the concrete wall of a store selling toilets and bathtubs and tries his utmost to look nonchalant. He scans the noisy street, all bathed in sweat from an unusually hot mid-May, even for the Philippines. Power lines sag dangerously low over speeding buses and jeepneys. Women hawk cool juice and duck eggs from tin kiosks, while men in a repair shop fold up their shirts to air out their guts. Two children chase a scalded cat down the sidewalk, but they get distracted by Kelog, and the cat escapes. "Is that a fighting cock, mister?" they ask. Kelog eyes the general area of the children with hungry disdain, and Ignacio tells them to beat it.
"Who are you talking to, pussy?" the smaller one says in a high, lovely voice. "This isn't your neighborhood, Manileño!"
The boys goose their crotches, spit near his shoes and run down the gravel sidewalk laughing. Ignacio presses himself into the shop wall and watches them go. He knows he looks out of place. But he's on the lookout for people even more out of place--scanning the...
About the Author-
ALEXANDER YATES grew up in Haiti, Mexico, Bolivia, and the Philippines. He holds an MFA from Syracuse University, and his short story "Everything, Clearly" will appear in the 2010 American Fiction: Best Short Stories by Emerging Writers.
Wall Street Journal
"Dazzling....engaging....Mr. Yate's most impressive feat is to synchronize a sort of gradual reconciliation between the father and son without the two even meeting. But that is only half of the action....[and] Mr. Yates attacks this twist with shoot-'em-up verve.....readers will be gratified by the ambition and raw energy on the display in this particularly promising debut"
- The Boston Globe "Weird and weirdly affecting Philippines-set novel. The multiple story lines -- involving an American businessman, his bumbling kidnappers, his estranged son, an embassy worker having an affair with a Filipino national hero, and an A-Team of supernaturally enhanced soldiers -- languorously intertwine, thankfully without the soulless Swiss-watch efficiency that often governs books with such large casts. Yates, who spent part of his youth on the archipelago, caulks the cracks with local detail, but leaves enough room for Moondogs' narrative to breathe." --Entertainment Weekly"[A] debut novel that combines magical realism, geopolitics, and comic book-style superheroics with shoot-'em-up action, domestic drama, and daddy issues..... fizzy, funny, and tone-perfect....highly entertaining.... Yates achieves an extraordinary synthesis of tenderness and brutality, making us question our own sympathies"
An electric and fierce debut novel where strangers share a world with the estranged, and their hidden secrets and open hostilities are equally combustible. Yates writes with a sense of color and heat that crackles in the voices of his star-crossed...
"The kidnapping of an American businessman in the Philippines sets in motion an odd series of events involving his estranged son, a hard-boiled cop who inspired a hugely popular film series and a ragtag strike force with special powers. Yates' accomplished debut is an unlikely mix of folktale, Tarantino-esque pulp fiction, island adventure and geopolitical novel. Howard Bridgewater, a high-rolling ugly American whose firm services resorts, has been living in the Philippines for five years. Prompted by his ex-wife's death in Chicago, he convinces his grudge-ridden son Benicio, who lives in Virginia, to come over for a visit. By the time Benicio arrives, Howard has been abducted by a hapless, meth-addicted cab driver named Ignacio who plans on selling him to Moro terrorists. Problem is, he can't find any buyers. The bigger problem is that shady supercop Reynato Ocampo is after him, backed by an impressionable kid who can shoot anyone or anything at any distance (he's a devout fan of the "Ocampo Justice" movies) and a soldier who can turn into a dog or horse or spider. (Ignacio's nasty sidekick is a rooster who smokes.) Reynato is having an affair with Monique, a stressed U.S. Embassy officer who recently relocated to her native soil from America with her insomniac husband and kids; Solita, the prostitute, is demanding support money for the boy who may or may not be Howard's, and Charlie, the actor who plays Ocampo, is shamelessly running for political office. Yates handles the multiple points of view and fragmented narrative flawlessly. As outrageous as the action gets, he keeps his distinctive voice consistent and his tone measured, masterfully modulating the comic and violent effects. There's unexpected depth of emotion in the relationships and in the characters' connection to the land. The author lived in the Philippines when he was a teenager, and later returned to work at the U.S. Embassy. His feeling for and physical descriptions of the islands strongly reflect that experience. An unusual and unusually involving first novel with strong characters and nifty supernatural effects."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"[G]ritty, ambitious.... entertaining....Yates develops considerable narrative momentum....The vibrant and convincing setting coupled with the well-drawn major characters make for..... much to enjoy here."--Library Journal
"Like one of his own characters, Yates is a bruho, endowed with magical vision that allows him to see the invisible strands of fate and luck that bind people to each other. He is also a sharpshooter, able to survey an entire city of millions, and then, in an instant, train his sights on an individual target, focusing with great precision on delicate movements of the head and the heart."--Charles Yu, author of How To Live Safely in a Science Fiction Universe "MOONDOGS is the thrilla' in Manila, a rollicking mash-up of magic and mayhem that grabs you by the collar and won't let go. Alexander Yates sizzles."--Keith Donohue, author of The Stolen Child and Angels of Destruction "
- Arthur Flowers, author of Another Good Loving Blues "Yates is the real thing; a unique literary voice and natural storyteller with indelible characters, thrill-ride geopolitics and narrative mastery"
- Roy Kesey, author of All Over and the upcoming Pacazo "The greatest of Yates' many talents is his ability to make us feel like insiders in so many different worlds and minds. He has Elmore Leonard's logistical chops and Charles Portis' sense of humor but the juggling act of MOONDOGS is entirely his own--and nothing ever touches the ground."

Senate Passes JOBS Act, STOCK Act
|By: David Dayen Thursday March 22, 2012 10:57 am
It's unusual when the Senate passes one bill in a single day, but today they've passed two. And both are an indication of the seriousness of legislating in the modern age. First, we have the JOBS Act, a bill that promises an impossible solution to an unrelated problem, which is a mask for its true [...]
Senate Will Pass House Version of STOCK Act, Drop Political Intelligence Measures

The Senate leadership has given up on trying to pass their version of the STOCK Act, instead planning a vote on the House bill that cancels out restrictions on so-called "political intelligence," among other tougher measures. Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.), in a Tuesday afternoon floor speech, announced that he would not compel [...]

When the Senate passed the STOCK Act, the bill that bans insider trading on non-public information picked up in Congress (yes, that's not against the law right now) along with some other ethics reforms, I thought that could be a vehicle that would move expeditiously through the House.

STOCK Act Passes After Ethics Add-Ons

Senate Moves Forward on STOCK Act

We learned yesterday that it's very, very difficult for members of Congress to vote to effectively legalize insider trading for themselves.

pring training is barely underway and already a marquee name will be sidelined for the start of the season. Curtis Granderson faced J.A. Happ of the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays in his first at bat of the spring and suffered an injury which will keep him from stepping into the batter's box again until mid-May.
Happ hit Granderson with the second pitch of the at-bat on the right forearm and the Grandy-man left with what appeared to be a bruise. However, X-rays revealed a fractured right forearm which will keep him sidelined for the next 10 weeks.
Granderson leaves a huge hole in the Yankees outfield and will be missed in fantasy baseball, but does still have some serious value if you can afford to scrape your way through without his bat the first month of the season. Granderson his 43 long balls last years with 106 RBI, so even with a month off, his bat makes him worth drafting and he could tumble to the point where he's a great value.
The Yankees don't have a ready-made replacement, but here's some of the players whose playing time and value will be affected by his absence.
Brett Gardner
The Yankees were already toying with the idea of moving Gardner to CF before the injury, so expect him to be locked in as an everyday player even more securely. Gardner's value is closely tied to how and where the Yankees use him in the lineup.
If Joe Girardi bats him at the top of the lineup, he has huge run potential and would be able to use his on-base skills to wreak havoc on the basepaths in front of the Yankees remaining big bats. If Gardner bats at the bottom of the lineup, he may not score as many runs, but the Yankees may rely on his speed to generate runs more now that the middle of their lineup is missing some key power-hitters.
I like Gardner this year and think he can easily be a top-30 outfielder if he can stay healthy which was his main problem last year. While Gardner is the answer in center field at least for now, the bigger question is who gets the playing time in left field. Which brings us too…
Juan Rivera
A free agent who the Yankees added this offseason on a minor league contract, Rivera's option was declined by the Dodgers after hitting just .224 with nine home runs in 109 games with LA last season.
Rivera is the most likely replacement in left-field on the Yankees roster right now, but doesn't inspire much confidence except as a late-round flier in fantasy baseball. He could regain a bit of his home run stroke after leaving spacious Dodger Stadium for the much more home-run friendly Yankee Stadium. He did have double-digit homers in seven of his last eight seasons before last year including three 20-home run campaigns in 2009-2011 with the two MLB teams based in LA.
If you draft Granderson, Rivera is a decent last-round pickup to play until Granderson returns. See how he does in spring training, and if he makes the roster make sure to keep an eye on him early in the season.
Matt Diaz
Diaz is also in Yankees camp on a minor league contract after signing from Atlanta this offseason. He's made a career mashing left-handed pitching to the tune of a .324/.364/.498 triple-slash. He's coming off thumb surgery which limited him to just 51 games last season but he could be half the answer if Rivera can play against righties.
Of all the options, Diaz is the one with the most lasting value since he could earn his way into a larger role with a good start as a replacement in right field for Ichiro as well. Diaz is a decent end of the draft flier in deeper formats.
Zoilo Almonte
Almonte made a splash in Saturday's spring training game with a home run and an outfield assist against Atlanta. The Dominican outfielder who was a September call-up last year hit .277 with 21 home runs and 70 RBI in AA. I expect the Yankees to give Almonte a long look this spring.
If Almonte is ready, he could be the main bat in left with Diaz backing up both him and Ichiro. If Almote can earn the spot, I think he's the best fantasy option of the bunch as he's shown the power stats to fill in for Granderson in the middle of the lineup. The hesitation with Almonte is he hasn't played a full, or eve partial, season at AAA meaning he may need more seasoning before making it to the Bronx.
Ronnier Mustelier
Ronnier Mustelier was the immediate replacement for Granderson yesterday after the injury. Mustelier is coming off a solid .303 year in AAA last year with 10 home runs and 49 RBI. He's late-blooming prospect who defected from Cuba and was originally a second-baseman. Before the injury to Granderson, Mustelier was expected to possibly be ready to figure into the New York outfield next season. Mustelier does offer positional flexibility since he plays all over the place, but probably wouldn't be much of a fantasy option at this point.
Thomas Neal
Neal is yet another minor-league signee in camp with the Yankees. He's younger than the above options and has the best outfield glove of the bunch. Like Mustelier, Neal hasn't had much MLB experience although he did play a few games for Cleveland at the end of last year. He'll need a big spring to earn the role, but keep an eye on him.
Johnny Damon/Bobby Abreu
Could the Yankees bring either of these free agents back? The early indications are that they'll look at internal options rather than adding another veteran free agent, but both these players could replace him as a left-handed half of a platoon with Almonte or even Diaz. It doesn't seem likely that either one has much if anything left in the tank, so I'd stay away from either one in fantasy baseball. It looks like a long shot that the Yankees will add either of these players before the season starts.
So how about it Yankees fans? Sound off in the conversation at the bottom of the page on who you'd like to see in left field and let me know how big of a deal this loss really is…

The team that led the SEC in rushing last season gave opponents something else to think about in 2014."Our emphasis was obviously throwing the football," Malzahn said. "It was good to see our guys throwing and catching the ball in front of a crowd."

If you are anything like me there are some things that you just always forget to buy until its too late. I mean who remembers compost bin bags anyways? I have gone years without using bags at all but I have gotten our waste streams so small now that I am only filling the compost bin every 2-3 weeks. Add summer heat into the mix and you have a recipe for grossness....and maggots. I started to use bags that fit directly into the bin but of course ran out and didn't realize until I was standing in the garage holding two bowls of compostable materials and looking into an empty bin.
0 Protect Natural Areas By Exploring Them
I always joke that I live in the armpit of Canada. Sometimes it just feels that way when I see pictures of all the other parts of this country with their clean air and never ending trees and I am surrounded by highways, smog indexes and noise. It seems that everywhere I look I see urban sprawl, with farmers fields becoming subdivisions and once large forests being reduced to the size of a postage stamp, which can overshadow the beautiful places that are close by. We may not have old growth boreal forests but we do have the Greenbelt and while it isn't home to cute baby seals and polar bears, it is a huge amount of protected land that will be around for generations to enjoy and learn from.

16 Thinking Outside of the Lunch Box {+Wild Mint Shop Giveaway}
Lunch containers can be for so much more than school lunches. Since lunch is included in B's tuition costs, I don't have to send him with lunch every day so all the containers we have I bought mostly for camping and hiking. Using your lunch box containers for camping and hiking will not only ensure you get the most use out of them but it will also reduce the amount of waste you are producing while you are away from home. Think of it as boomerang camping! I know that it may seem easier to just throw all your food in Ziploc bags and pile those up in the cooler, but trust me, using your lunch containers can be just as easy, save you money, and are way better for the environment.

2 Eat Healthy and Reduce Waste
Eating healthy and reducing food waste go hand in hand. I have always eaten healthy 80% of the time but never really felt like I was setting myself up to eat healthy more than that. My food life was disorganized and as a result I was constantly throwing spoiled food into the composter when I would clean my fridge out to make room for new groceries. Last month I undertook a food and lifestyle overhaul and as a result I feel like I have organized the food in my life. What I didn't expect to happen was such a dramatic decrease in the amount of compost I was producing. I just do not produce nearly as much food waste because I am eating the food before it spoils.

9 My Favourite Uses for Essential Oils
I'm relatively late to the essential oils game. I only fell in love with them just over a year ago. But in love with them I am. I started out small by adding them to my homemade cleaners and then it basically just blew up from there. I was ditching my normal products to combat mold and sore throats, and I wore a clay necklace with a few drops of peppermint essential oil when I was feeling congested. As I continue to explore new ways to use essential oils in our lives, I wanted to share my favourite uses so far. These are easy for anyone to incorporate into their routine, where you are an essential oil novice or a complete addict.

He sighed, happy that at least for now he was silent. However when he had finished the bread he was prepared to listen to him attempt to speak. Right away he saw tears start to swell up again. To him they sounded like annoying whimpers and cries, nothing he could understand…….
He sighed when the demon child went to the corner of his home but at least he was somewhat learning. He heard the soft voice speak out his name over and over again. For now he would just leave the child in his corner. However he would not tolerate much noise from this boy quite yet.
Because he was so occupied with saving this little creature he had not brought home any fresh meat to prepare. However he did have a meat locker next to his home where he dried out some meats. He opened the front door then locked it to walk outside. He then went to the side of the house where a cellar like opening was there. He unlocked it and went down to the locker. He decided that the deer meat would be ready and pulled a few large slices from the hooks. He went back up, relocked everything and went back inside his home "Listen demon" he said not really looking in the others direction "I have food here, but you don't eat without my permission. Some of the food here I have to go into town to get, like the cheese and bread…" he wondered if the creature was even paying attention to him.

Finally this small child had made a sound as it began its cries once more. Was that it could do? Was cry and cry? He finally stepped into the room and looked at the demon before him. If he wasn't going to kill him now he had to find some way of making it stop the noise. He…
He sighed, happy that at least for now he was silent. However when he had finished the bread he was prepared to listen to him attempt to speak. Right away he saw tears start to swell up again. To him they sounded like annoying whimpers and cries, nothing he could understand…. more or less whish too. When his son was a baby he made similar sounds. However he still didn't wish to fully comfort the demon child "Okay shut up. Listen, you stay here!" He stood up and locked the front door and went around closing the windows.
After he had closed his home he went over to the child and untied him. Of course not before he grabbed his hand and pointed firmly to himself
"I'm Kain… KAIN" he said making a point to make sure this being knew who he was.
For my brother. He hates it when I bite the ice cream so I made a gif for him >:D
An SL character of mine. It is hard finding mesh clothes I like ;/
But yes, it is a fem boy
Things to never buy
I never buy straws… what's the point when places give them out for free and never stops you from taking like 100?
… yes… I'm very cheap

Demon's lullaby by Winged Icarus
Listen to the angel's song
leading my way like a candle light
It takes away all my fears
If I can hear it so can you
The demon's lullaby
Sings to me in the darkest night
Far from any paradise
If I can bare it so can you
The gaze from the very pits of hell look right through your soul

I found a spider in our shower this morning. The apartment building may have to be burned down.

Happy Mother's Day to ally followers who are mothers (doggie moms count too), and those who are not - don't forget your mom! I'm about to go visit mine. I hope she doesn't have anymore embarrassing childhood photos to show Amanda…
I want to say a special Happy Mothers Day to my wonderful friends Olivia and Alex - I hope Calvin and Neville spoil you rotten.
Thanks, Case! We appreciate the love! And I hope you two are enjoying your day with Chase!
And Happy Mother's Day to all my mommy-followers!
Most of my family was very supportive - particularly my parents. But I did have a few, maybe two or three, that were less than thrilled. And I lost one friend in the process. But mostly, coming out went very well for me.
Um…never. I have some fundamental objections to the porn industry which makes watching porn nearly impossible for me *steps off of soapbox*
I can't say that any case I've ever prosecuted was a "favorite" in the sense that you wish these crimes never occurred, but the Barnett case made me remember why it is I do what I do - why I became a prosecutor in the first place.
Oh, there are so many to choose from! But I think my favorite book may be Animal Farm.
I have an appreciation of the theatre, certainly.
If I were you, I'd start by thinking about things you are interested in and figure out a way to tie that in with theatre. That's what I would do whenever I had a research paper in a class I wasn't interested in. Or perhaps google some topics in theatre. Here's a small list to start you off:
Hopes this helps you some!
I don't. Is it any good?
Are we talking just private or private private? *laughs* Because if we're talking about the latter, no, I don't. My life is a bit too public and, for fear of ending up on Page Six, I don't keep private photos on my phone.
Friends not including Liv, I assume?
a) Casey (though I love shopping enough I'd go with Don if he wanted)
b) Abbie, probably (though my typical museum buddy is Olivia).
c) Any one of my friends, honestly. I'm always there for them - day and night.
d) Serena
e) Well, Abbie's buttons sure are fun to push *laughs*
You're my favorite person to shop with! Amanda hates shopping. How an you hate shopping? It's not normal.
I need to hit up an electronics store for a new computer, you game? I know it's not clothes but a shopping trip is a shopping trip.
Well, you put up with my treating you like a living doll *laughs*
I'm game. I can't say I'd be much help, but I know a little bit about computers.

ing over 4 million animals to control the disease.3 Prevention and suppression of FMD and other, similarly infectious pathogens depends on early detection, quarantine, and/or destruction of disease carriers. The rapid remote sensing of such animals could help prevent or reduce the negative impact of these diseases.
Using techniques related to speech recognition, mathematicians have worked to map the genetic similarity of influenza viruses. Using color and spatial distribution, subtle evolved differences in virus strains can be identified, and decisions about the potential effectiveness of vaccines become easier (Enserink, 2008). Obviously both symptom recognition and pathogen strain identification are also very useful in the defense against any man-made biological.
Historically, vaccination, simple sanitation and the availability of clean drinking water were perhaps the most important developments in disease prevention. However, these methods are useful only for preventing infectious disease, and we are discovering their limitations and drawbacks. Prevention of disease, especially noninfectious disease, remains a critical issue.
The impact of fetal nutrition on adult susceptibility to obesity points to the potential benefit of better understanding the sources and causes of noninfectious disease. As these causes are found, we can more easily identify and treat individuals most likely to develop a disease. Doing so entails both a deeper understanding of the biology of disease inception and the physical science of detecting susceptibility.
Beyond detection of susceptibility, however, is the need to understand how conclusions drawn from populations translate to therapy for individuals. Here is the greatest need for personalized medicine—that is, diagnosis and treatment tailored to a person's genetic makeup and potentially to environmental differences as well. Personalized medicine in simple forms is already used—if a breast cancer patient's tumor is estrogen-receptor positive, then the patient may benefit from treatment with tamoxifen, which prevents estrogen from binding to the receptor and stimulating growth.
In the future, analysis of an individual's gene expression patterns using microarrays or even sequencing of his or her entire genome, which will require enormous advances in chemistry and engineering, should allow physicians to diagnose and treat disease with greater accuracy. A greater understanding of the DNA sequence changes that impact protein-coding or RNA-coding should also allow these processes to be mathematically modeled.

Lovely weather this morning for a ride to work. Still a bit of wind left over from yesterday but bearable.
Just for extra protection, speaking of dooring. This happened today.

Spring 2011
Classic Bookshelf
Continuing our celebration of the Guild's 75th anniversary for the years 1945 - 1965, we've collected some of the most interesting books about directors and the era.
Making Movies
By Sidney Lumet
Barely does a book fully live up to the promise of its title, but Lumet's memoir-cum-manual tells us in vivid and splendid detail how he does what he does. Broken down into nuts and bolts chapters on the principal roles in filmmaking— from director to writer to performer down to costume designer and art director—Making Movies draws deeply on Lumet's work as a live TV director in '50s New York and the dozens of features he's made since. Lumet shares a bottomless fund of experience and technical knowledge acquired on movies as small as The Offence and The Hill and as large as Murder on the Orient Express and Network. What emerges is a sense of Lumet's commendable generosity as an artist, someone who never seeks credit for himself and is always a patient collaborator and mentor. And he's only too glad to impart his wisdom to the reader—who ideally, given the book's extremely practical bent, will be a filmmaker looking to learn.
The best of new publications by, for, and about directors, their teams and the industry.
Teetering between exhaustive and exhausting, Fosse brings us the definitive portrait of a complex man and talented director.
It's easy to generalize the work of director Wes Anderson as "artificial," but in his new book, Matt Zoller Seitz finds the substance in Anderson's signature style.
William Wyler has often been excluded from auteurist circles, and by extension from serious film study, which, as Gabriel Miller argues, is a gross oversimplification.
Wilson's new memoir is a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of what it was like to bring viewers "the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat," week in, week out.
In John Badham's latest book he culls from his nearly 40-year history in the industry to provide invaluable first-hand insight for vets and novices alike.
Who Owns the Future? is a cautionary tale, warning of an economic cataclysm and eradication of the middle class if the concept of "free" information keeps to its current trajectory
Alan Casty tackles the often frustrating paradoxes of a man whose fundamentally American films possess a darkness that reveal the complex ideology of their volatile director.
Famed title artist Saul Bass' storyboards for Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus.
Doug Hayes finds the actors on The Twilight Zone a tad stiff.
Norman Jewison explains how he captured the tension of the civil rights era in one explosive scene in In the Heat of the Night.
The Guild's youngest president was also a master craftsman and an unforgettable character, as a budding filmmaker recalls.
The emblematic figure among the New York TV directors who made the journey to Hollywood in the 1950s, Frankenheimer refined his technique in live broadcasts before millions of viewers.
Former DGA president Delbert Mann was the first of the generation of Television directors to make a successful trek West to Hollywood.
Internet theft has clearly had a serious economic impact on mid-budget and large studio movies, but it's independent films that may be damaged the most.
