Der Ring des Nibelungen: Siegfried and Götterdämmerung, Royal Opera House, London
Tuesday 02 October 2012
Now that Keith Warner's "Ring" has been re-launched in its entirety, we can judge it afresh. Like the first two "days" (reviewed last week) the second two contain much to enjoy, if also some disappointments, plus some technical hitches which should have been sorted out in dress rehearsal - notably the stuffed stag with its antlers caught on the overhanging 'sky', thus sabotaging Siegfried's loveliest aria.
Warner's direction is very hit-and-miss. He skilfully heads off longueurs in the expository sections, but at other times his touch can desert him totally. In Siegfried's awakening of Brünnhilde, what should be a climactic blaze of ecstasy is scuppered by the way Stefan Vinke and Susan Bullock are placed miles apart and required to ignore each other; their subsequent performances in 'Götterdämmerung' are nothing short of heroic.
But this production throws up some wonderful moments. The "Annunciation of Death" duet between Simon O'Neill's Siegmund and Eva-Maria Westbroek's Sieglinde is one; while Sophie Bevan's Woodbird, Mihoko Fujimura's Waltraute, John Tomlinson's Hagen, and Bryn Terfel's psychologically-acute portrayal of Wotan's conversion provide others. And nobody who saw it will forget the extraordinary farewell between this Wotan and his Brünnhilde, as the pent-up emotion of a lifetime of repression is sublimated in song.
If Wagner's plotting does not always add up, Antonio Pappano and the Royal Opera House orchestra brilliantly demonstrate the scale of his still-underrated symphonic achievement (Tom Ades is the current fashionable nay-sayer). But we're waiting for a 21st century production which does the 'Ring' justice, and the real weakness of this show lies in its designs.
Wagner's own stage directions indicate landscapes lit by rosy dawns and golden sunsets, and periodically overcast by storm-clouds; each numinous event had to be heralded by its own particular light.
I'm not suggesting we go back to such literalism, but Warner's designer (the late Stefanos Lazaridis) seems to have been fatally hobbled by the pseudo-intellectual baggage his designs were expected to bear. They clutter the stage like Steptoe's yard, and their perverse denial of beauty is disabling.
This is only mitigated in Act 3 of Götterdämmerung, where the cacophony of images resolves into something grand, simple, and exquisitely lit. This why his "Ring" will never be loved, and why it will be supplanted as soon as decorum - and budgets - permit.

Smaug's revenge, a town on fire AND the evil Eye Of Sauron: First look at dramatic trailer for The Hobbit: Battle Of The Five Armies
The decision to split J.R.R. Tolkien's slim Hobbit tome into three movies initially caused controversy among fans and critics, for fear the classic adventure would be watered down or even lack momentum.
But their worries seem unfounded - judging by a new trailer for the forthcoming final film in the trilogy.
The teaser for The Hobbit: Battle Of The Five Armies promises every dramatic special effect and battle sequence director Peter Jackson and his Weta Digital workshop can pull out of their magical hats.
Scroll down for video
The end of an era: The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies trailer features Martin Freeman's Bilbo Baggins promising to remember the adventure
Having attempted to destroy Benedict Cumberbatch's sneering fire breathing dragon in The Desolation of Smaug; the dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield and aided by hobbit Bilbo Baggins, left the towns surrounding the Lonely Mountain at risk of destruction by a scaly beast intent on revenge.
In a lull before the storm, the trailer begins with Bilbo's voice drifting over footage of elf Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly) looking alarmed as Gandalf (Sir Ian McKellen) rides through battlegrounds; Smaug destroying Lake-town in a fire-breathing fit of rage and Legolas (Orlando Bloom) surveying the smoke filled wreckage.
'One day I'll remember,' he says. 'Remember everything that happened. The good, the bad. Those who survived and those that did not.'
Taking flight: A vengeful Smaug set fire to Lake-town in fury
Surveying the damage: Orlando Bloom's Legolas and Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly) are witness to the devastation wrought by Smaug
Back: Legolas gets involved in the battle of the five armies
Who will win? Gandalf (Sir Ian McKellen) stands among an army of men
The journey for the dwarves and Bilbo may have led them to attempt to recover their lost treasures taken by Smaug in The Lonely Mountain, but the elves and men of Lake-town are eager to receive their share.
Cue the five armies descending and the battle between the Dwarves, Legolas's Mirkwood Elves, the Men of the Long Lake, the great Eagles of the Misty Mountains and the evil Goblins.
trailer promises drama, but also sorrow, and is set to mournful song The Steward of Gondor (Mist and Shadow) first
seen on Lord Of The Rings and performed by the hobbit Pippin (Billy Boyd).
The elf and the wizard: Cate Blancjhett's Galadriel kisses a battle bruised Gandalf's forehead in the trailer
The company of dwarves: Led by Thorin Oakenshield, The dwarves are determined to protect their treasure in the Lonely Mountain
Do you choose war? Thorin chooses battle to protect his heirlooms
Going for gold: Can Bard The Bowman save the town and the dwarves?
The one minute 50 second trailer flashes between battle sequences, Bard The Bowman (Luke Evans) appearing in front of an army clad in gold, Elvenking Thranduil in battle and a Lake-town man asking Thorin: 'Will you have peace or war?'
Dressed in armour and furs, Thorin (Richard Armitage) roars 'I will have war!'
There are some tender moments however, with Elf Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) kissing the head of the battle warn Gandalf, and Tauriel and Legolas becoming closer in war.
Setting the scene: The elvenking Thranduil is involved in an bleak battle
Running into battle: The five armies feature men, eagles, elves, dwarves and goblins
What to do next? Legolas is joined by his companion Tauriel, who did not feature in Tolkien's books
The end of the beginning: The Hobbit will be released on December 17 this year
As the prequel to the dark days of Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit hints at the bleakness to come, even flashing an image of the Eye Of Sauron - the main protagonist of the Rings movies.
The trailer ends with Thorin pleading: 'Will you follow me one last time?'
The Hobbit: Battle Of The Five Armies is released on December 17 this year.

AUGUSTA, Ga. - Even in their 25th year of baseball, the Augusta GreenJackets are continuing some of their greatest traditions. The GreenJackets are teaming up with E-Z-GO once again to bring back their Salute Our Soldiers program for the 2013 season.
"E-Z-GO is excited to partner again with the Augusta GreenJackets to honor our local military families for the sacrifices they make to preserve our freedom," E-Z-GO President Kevin Holleran said. "We hope that this program, in some small way, helps ease the burden that our service members, veterans and their families bear in our nation's time of need."
Salute Our Soldiers is a program designed to recognize local military members and their families, while thanking them for all the sacrifices they make for our nation. At all 70 home games, E-Z-GO and the GreenJackets will select a local military family to honor. That family will receive free box seats, food vouchers and a gift certificate to use in the gift shop.
In the middle of the fifth inning, the selected military member and family will be recognized by the crowd for their dedication to protecting and serving our nation.
"In 2012, E-Z-GO really helped Salute Our Soldiers be a great way to show our appreciation for local military members and their families," Augusta GreenJackets general manager Bob Flannery said. "We're all excited to provide local military members with a fun night at Lake Olmstead Stadium."
E-Z-GO and the GreenJackets will work with local military officials and service organizations to identify participating families. For more information on Salute Our Soliders or to nominate a military member or family, contact Katie Agostin at (706) 736-7889 or email her at kagostin@greenjacketsbaseball.

the angel in the store
Location: N/A
By: david.c
hi, my name is David, my story begins, when i was living in chicago. i was about 15 years old, there me my mother and my two sisters were living, we always went to the catholic church on sundays. but on wednesdays there was this catholic carismatic young group, that my older sister used to attended, i always think that i belived or that i had faith, but i was wrong. one wednesday my sister invited me to the group in the church, and i said yeah sure lets go, i thougth that it was going to be like the mass,but when we got there there were like thirthy guys in the room, and they were praying and singing and everybody seems so happy.but i couldnt felt the same way so the meeting started and pretty much in the end of the meeting the guy who was incharged asked if anybody wanted to passed on the front and kneel, and ask to the lord for whatever you want.so I passed and asked for one sign or something so i really belive in him. well that they passed and the next day me nad my mother went to the Aldi store for grosseries, i remembered that my mother bought so many things that we didnt have any money left for the bags or for the bus,so my mother took some boxes and started to packed the grosseries but she told me son can you look around to see if we know someone from the church to borrowed some money for the bags and for the bus.so i turned around and i only could see like four or five people on the line, and the back lights from the store were off already they were about to closed, so i saw nobody coming tourds me then soon as i turn around and said to my mother mom there is nobody, somenoe touched my left shoulder so i turned an i see this person like six foot tall but i only could seeis or her smile and the nose, because the eyes were this white light so powerful like more strong that sun, but in the same time it was peace and love thats what i felt, so i said hi and the person just smiled didnt say a word he had in his left hand a bag so with his right hand took a bunch and gave them to me i grabed them and said thanks, he only smiled turned and started walking to the exit, when he turned around i saw that he was wearing a long white dress with long sleeves his hair was long and its was like on gold fire so brillant, i couldnt see if he was touching the floor as he walked, so i turned and said to my mother hay mom look look that person gave me these bags she said who? we both turned to see the exit but nobody was there the doors were closed. i ran to the exit and asked the people on the street that if they had seen this person with a long white dress? and they said no, so i even ran to the next block just to see if he was there but i couldnt find him, he was gone he just desapeared in thin air, soon as we walked out of the store there was one of my mothers friend parked in front of the door and told as do you need a lift? it was stranged, so next day i went with the priest of the church and told him all about it. he told me what did you asked God for? i said for a sign to belive more in him and the father said there you go david God sent you an Angel, an angel?? and i said howcome my mother didnt see it? the priest said because God sent him for you, i remembered telling my mother about the angel but she never got it until years later i told her the story, and she said why you never had tellme about it.for one reason is like she never understood i was telling her.im 34 years old and since then i have never seen my angel again, but sometimes i can feel like if he is around me, maybe some day i will see him again, but for now i m sure that there is a God and he sent his angels to protect us and confourt us in many ways.......
Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist. Many are unaware of the numerous ways they have protected and guided us. We would like to share with you the stories of people who take pleasure in expressing how real angels are.

Sage tells us:
As I promised on my twitter earlier today, here is the first in a long series of demos I hope to release from my LI(F)E album. Anyone who knows the album version of "Three Sheets" will notice that this demo version is much slower than they're used to. Also the music is less aggressive. While most of the demos have more of a hip-hop feel, this one is still on the indie-rock tip.
By the way, that photo is of Sage confronting a heckler two weeks back at his show out here in Vegas. Get 'em, Francis!
I stopped paying attention to Sage for over a decade now…. the track "bounce" was good though
That's Sage? The big guy with the beard? That doesn't even look like him.
This is terrible in my opinion. Sounds more like a rock track then hip hop.

Most Popular Celebrities Who Have Experienced Crazy Fan Attacks [PHOTOS]
With the tragic fan attack that happened on two members of AKB48, a Japanese all-girl band, it triggered most to think on other popular celebrities who have experienced severe crazy fan attacks themselves.
The AKB48 all girl group were in a handshake event when a guy fan identified as Satoru Umeta lunged at two of the members and attacked them with a 50 cm saw.
Even the world renowned R&B diva Beyonce had her own share of such unexpected fan attacks especially in the middle of her concert performances. The ever controversial "Bangerz" singer Miley Cyrus also had a fan attack in Melbourne, Justin Bieber thrown heavily on stage with plastic bottles of mineral water, and Rihanna forced to hit an aggressive fan with a microphone among many others.
Check out the slideshow and learn about other celebrities who you never thought experienced crazy fan attacks in their career run!

SBA loans available to victims of drought
by MBJ Staff
Published: January 12,2012
Tags: banking and finance, Banks, disaster, disaster declaration, disaster recovery, drought, financial institutions, heat, loans, natural disaster, small businesses
BENTON COUNTY and MARSHALL COUNTY — The U.S. Small Business Administration's economic injury disaster loans are available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private non-profit organizations of all sizes located in Benton and Marshall counties in Mississippi as a result of drought and excessive heat that occurred from May 1-Oct. 31, 2011.
"These counties are eligible because they are contiguous to one or more primary counties in Tennessee. The Small Business Administration recognizes that disasters do not usually stop at county or state lines. For that reason, counties adjacent to primary counties named in the declaration are included," said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA's Field Operations Center East in Atlanta. "When the Secretary of Agriculture issues a disaster declaration to help farmers recover from damages and losses to crops, the Small Business Administration issues a declaration to assist eligible entities affected by the same disaster."
Under this declaration, the SBA's Economic Injury Disaster Loan program is available to eligible farm-related and nonfarm-related entities that suffered financial losses as a direct result of this disaster. With the exception of aquaculture enterprises, SBA cannot provide disaster loans to agricultural producers, farmers, or ranchers, but nurseries are eligible to apply for economic injury disaster loans for losses caused by drought conditions.
Loan amounts can be up to $2 million, with interest rates of 3 percent for non-profit organizations and 4 percent for small businesses. Terms can be up to 30 years. The SBA determines eligibility based on the size of the applicant, type of activity and its financial resources. The agency sets loan amounts and terms based on each applicant's financial condition. These working capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred. The loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits.
Disaster loan information and application forms may be obtained by calling the SBA's Customer Service Center at 1-800-659-2955 (1-800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing) or by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Loan applications can be downloaded from the SBA's website at www.sba.gov. Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.
Those affected by the disaster may also apply for disaster loans electronically from SBA's website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/.
Completed loan applications must be returned to SBA no later than Aug. 29, 2012.

Two people injured after falling more than 30 feet while rock climbing on Friday at an Oklahoma City climbing facility are both responsive and receiving care, according to a Rocktown statement.
Climbing facility employees 'responsive' in hospital
The two climbers, ages 18 and 19, were both employees at the Rocktown Climbing Gym though neither were working at the time of the accident.
The two were practicing an advanced climbing technique involving rappelling when the accident occurred. They were both then taken by ambulance to OU Medical Center.
Rocktown management believes the fall was due to human error. "It is not entirely clear what occurred because there were no other people present in the room at the time of the incident. It is clear that there were no equipment/hardware failures involved. All equipment and hardware was examined during the incident response and further examined following the incident. It is believed that some form of human error among the two climbers resulted in the fall."
The names of the two climbers were not released.

The best thing that ever happened to my son was being diagnosed with heart failure. Why do I say that? Because of his illness, he was approved for Medicaid and eventually 100 percent disability, which led to him getting help with his mental disorders. He is not violent, but he was a problem to himself and his family. His future was dim.
The answer to these senseless shootings is an overhaul on our mental health system. I tried for years to get my son help, and it took heart failure to get him that help. Banning guns is a band-aid. Let's address the problem.

This recipe makes the most gooey, decadent chocolate brownies imaginable. A word to the lads: if you have annoyed your missus, a tray of these will go a long way to patching things up. With chocolate as the mortar. The frozen raspberries work brilliantly as they stay whole during the baking process, adding bursts of pink tartness in the slab of chocolatey goodness.
From: Today
This is a great recipe for a light lunch or supper-colourful, crunchy and figure friendly. The chickpea base has a wonderful flavour and texture, you wont miss the meat at all! Chickpeas are low calorie and fibre rich, keeping you fuller for longer and balancing blood sugar levels. The filling will stay fresh in the fridge for 3 days and makes a super packed lunch. Go easy on the sour cream and grated cheese for a thinner dinner.
One of my favourite recipes for entertaining, this salad looks fabulous for Christmas with ruby red pomegranate jewels and juicy mango. The ish ingredient is Chinese 5 Spice which is an aromatic blend of spices that marries perfectly with luxurious duck breasts. Toasted sesame oil, another ish factor, and plenty of fresh lime, finishes off this very special sensational salad.
My brother André is the natural gourmand in our family, effortlessly putting ingredients together to create superb meals. After visiting Greece in his early twenties, André came back with a passion for Greek cuisine: rosemary infused lamb, crunchy salads and lots and lots of lemon! As a long distance runner, Greek cuisine is a healthy lifestyle choice. Just not too much baklava and shortbread!
From: Today
This is one of my all time favourite salads. It has a really moreish taste with a lovely texture. This is one of my 'substantial salad' recipes: salads made with resilient ingredients that are filling, transport well and stay fresh. Lentils are economical, highly nutritious and easy to cook. This salad makes a great packed lunch, and will stay fresh in the fridge for three days. Delicious hot or cold, served with grilled fish or on its own.
This is the very first stir fry recipe I cooked in the wok that my dad bought me when I was 17. The wok is still going strong and so is this recipe. The ish factor is the sauce and the marinade. Hoisin sauce has a lovely sweet plummy taste and oyster sauce is deep and rich, perfect for beef. The pale dry sherry is the substitute for Chinese rice wine,and really enhances the aromatic heat of the ginger. Use extra veggies if preferred and serve with rice or noodles to mop up the sauce.
This is a favourite takeawayish recipe, perfect for kids and people trying to convert to healthier dinners. Jam packed with extra crunchy, colourful veggies that you can sneak into your family's diet. The ish factor is the sauce, a really tasty authentic sauce but with a fraction of the sugar of shop-bought 'cook in' sauces.

Third baseman has 12 hits and 12 RBIs in first six games of Quad Cities' last regular season road trip
GRAND CHUTE, Wis. (AUG. 29, 2013) – Quad Cities River Bandits third baseman Rio Ruiz continued an impressive road trip with three hits and three RBIs, and right-hander Jamaine Cotton worked four scoreless relief innings for the win in a 6-3 final over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers at Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium Wednesday night.
With their 10th win in the last 12 games, the River Bandits (40-25 second half, 78-56 overall) pushed the defending Midwest League Champion Timber Rattlers (30-36, 59-72) two games behind Clinton (32-34, 65-70) with four games remaining to determine the final second-half playoff spot in the Western Division. Quad Cities has clinched a playoff spot and will open with Cedar Rapids Wednesday.
Ruiz helped the visitors take a first-inning lead against right-hander Ryan Gibbard (4-7). Second baseman Austin Elkins and shortstop Carlos Correa drew consecutive one-out walks, and after left fielder Danry Vasquez moved both runners with a groundout to first, Ruiz lined a single to center field for a 2-0 lead. Gibbard lasted only three innings and allowed four earned runs on three walks and five hits.
In the bottom of the first, River Bandits left-hander Joe Bircher allowed a leadoff double to second baseman Alfredo Rodriguez and walked two batters to load the bases with one out. First baseman Parker Berberet flied out to center field to bring home Rodriguez. In the second inning, third baseman Mike Garza led off with the first of his three singles, and Rodriguez tied the game with an RBI single.
In a 2-2 tie starting the third inning, Elkins hit a one-out single to left-center field and Correa drew a walk. Vasquez then drove in Elkins with a double to the left-center field gap,a nd Ruiz followed with a single to score Correa for a 4-2 lead. Ruiz later added a single in the sixth inning, and he is 12-for-23 (.522) with 12 RBIs and a hit in each of the first six games of the road trip.
Bircher allowed a single and walk in the fourth inning and bobbled a comeback ground ball to load the bases with two outs. Cotton came in to walk Berberet on four pitches to make it 4-3 but struck out designated hitter Garrett Cooper to end the inning. Cotton allowed two baserunners in the fifth on a single and strikeout wild pitch, but he rallied to retire eight straight Timber Rattlers before an eighth-inning error by Elkins. After Cotton picked off the runner, he issued a walk that ended his night. Right-hander Patrick Christensen got an inning-ending groundout and worked around two ninth-inning hits to strike out the side for his first save. Catcher Roberto Pena had extended the lead to 6-3 with a two-run double in the top of the ninth inning against right-hander Preston Gainey, who tossed 5 1/3 relief innings.
Thursday's victory also means The Captain's Table at 4801 River Drive in Moline will offer The Captain's Table Victory Discount Friday, Aug. 30. Anyone who mentions the River Bandits victory can receive a free appetizer or dessert with the purchase of two lunches or dinners with beverages on Friday, Aug. 30.
Quad Cities finishes its final regular season road series in Wisconsin at 7:05 p.m. Friday. River Bandits right-hander Zach Morton (0-1) is scheduled to face Timber Rattlers right-hander Rodolfo Fernandez (4-3).
UP NEXT: The River Bandits' final homestand of the regular season kicks off Saturday, Aug. 31, with a Dallas Clark Bobblehead Giveaway presented by Barrel House 211 and CBS4 when gates open at 5:30 p.m. for a 7 p.m. game. Fireworks will also follow the game. Single-game tickets are on sale at the River Bandits box office at Modern Woodmen Park, by phone at 563-324-3000 and online at www.riverbandits.com. Season ticket and mini-plan packages start at just seven games and begin at less than $50. Call a River Bandits account representative today to choose your seats and get the details of our various mini-plan packages.
ABOUT THE BANDITS: The River Bandits ownership is making one of the biggest improvements to Modern Woodmen Park since the ballpark was first built back in 1931! A new Ferris wheel, standing 112 feet over the playing field, is planned for next spring, along with a carousel and other new games and attractions. This season, the team just unveiled a new 300-foot long dual zip line, a rock climbing wall, a Mediacom Frog Hopper, and a number of new bounce houses. The team also boasts a new major league affiliate, the Houston Astros, and fans can see the first team in Minor League Baseball history with back-to-back No. 1 overall draft picks – 2012 top pick Carlos Correa and 2013 top pick Mark Appel, as well as 2012 first-round draft choice Lance McCullers. With new rides, new attractions, new improvements, a new affiliate and future major league stars, the second half of this season is one every fan will not want to miss!

The Detroit Red Wings (desperate to recapture some Stanley Cup magic in the face of a string of playoff letdowns) and the San Jose Sharks (desperate to make good on Stanley Cup expectations instead of becoming the Ottawa Senators of the West) find themselves deadlocked at two games apiece with a pivotal fifth game set for Saturday afternoon.

Hardtalk's Stephen Sackur talks to a man with a remarkable story which has earned him accolades and admiration around the world. Sir Nicholas Winton is now 105 years old, when he was just 29 he helped rescue more than 600 mostly Jewish children from Nazi persecution in Czechoslovakia.

Just how far is Vladimir Putin prepared to push, in his high stakes confrontation with the West over Ukraine? New allegations of Russian military incursions prompted Ukraine's President to talk of all-out war, and western leaders to threaten more sanctions. Hardtalk speaks to Mikhail Kasyanov, who was Russian Prime Minister in Putin's first presidential term, and is now a diehard opponent. Do most Russians remain confident their President knows what he's doing?

Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe is ninety years old. His grip on power is still tight but it it won't last forever; and in recent months the jostling for the succession has turned into a public punch up - adding to the uncertainty in a country beset with political and economic problems. Hardtalk speaks to Zimbabwe's Tourism Minister, Walter Mzembi. He wants to put an end to his country's international isolation; how can that happen while the old guard remains in place?

Six weeks into the American led airstrikes on so called Islamic State militants in Syria, serious questions are being asked about the wisdom of the US strategy. Worryingly for President Obama many of these questions are coming from the moderate Syrian rebels who are supposed to be Washington's partner of choice. Stephen Sackur speaks to Hadi al Bahra, the president of the Syrian National Coalition. Is America's strategy playing into the hands of the Assad regime?

Extratime is in Melbourne Australia and if thereâs one sport which can uniquely claim to be home-grown it is Australian Rules Football, a high octane mixture of running, kicking and sometimes brutal mid-air collisions. One of the gameâs greatest players is Adam Goodes. Heâs of Aboriginal heritage and is the 2014 Australian of the Year â an award recognising not only his sporting talent but his public stand against racism, which was epitomised in 2013 when during a match in Melbourne a teenage girl called Goodes an ape. He had her kicked out of the stadium and, not for the first time, racism in sport and society was at the centre of national debate in Australia. Now as Adam Goodes nears the end of his sporting career is he about to enter a new one as a politician? Rob Bonnet talks to Adam Goodes in Melbourne.

Who can rescue Iraq and defeat the extremists of the self-proclaimed 'Islamic State'? The militants have seized about a quarter of the territory of Iraq and there are near-daily reports of human rights abuses and deaths. The crisis at the heart of the political leadership in Baghdad means a united Iraqi response has so far been lacking. Hardtalk speaks to Baghdad MP Mowaffak al-Rubaie - former national security adviser to Iraq. Is the new Shia-led government under Prime Minister Abadi better able to combat the extremists?

When a dying person asks their doctor if he or she can do anything to help, is it easier for the doctor to provide a false hope than have a difficult conversation about how best to manage their last days? Hardtalk speaks to Atul Gawande, who wants to change the way doctors think - and talk - about death. It's a subject he'll be covering in the BBC's annual Reith Lectures this year. He says doctors are good at addressing specific individual problems or diseases, but argues that the ultimate goal is not a good death but a good life - all the way to the very end.

HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur talks to Francis Rossi, guitarist, singer and founder of the band Status Quo, one of the most popular and durable acts in the history of rock and roll.

The music business has changed beyond all recognition in the last 40 years - how come Status Quo are still rocking all over the world?

Days ago the Nigerian Government announced a ceasefire deal with the militant group Boko Haram - officials predicted the imminent release of more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by the extremists last April.

How can the conflict which has cost thousands of Nigerian lives be ended?

Author information
Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) called his spiritual philosophy 'anthroposophy', meaning 'wisdom of the human being'. As a highly developed seer, he based his work on direct knowledge and perception of spiritual dimensions. He initiated a modern and universal 'science of spirit', accessible to anyone willing to exercise clear and unprejudiced thinking. spacer spacer From his spiritual investigations Steiner provided suggestions for the renewal of many activities, including education (both general and special), agriculture, medicine, economics, architecture, science, philosophy, religion and the arts. Today there are thousands of schools, clinics, farms and other organizations involved in practical work based on his principles. His many published works feature his research into the spiritual nature of the human being, the evolution of the world and humanity, and methods of personal development. Steiner wrote some 30 books and delivered over 6000 lectures across Europe. In 1924 he founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world.

Sonoma hotel could sell for $102 million
Send this to a friend

A landmark has hit the sale block: Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn is up for grabs. There's no stated sale price for the 226-room hotel and 40,000-square-foot spa in the town of Sonoma, but industry sources say the number being whispered is up to $450,000 per room, or $101.7 million. Hodges Ward Elliott of Atlanta is marketing the property, which is in default.
The resort has lots going for it. Sonoma is a high-barrier-to-entry market, which jacks prices up there. The resort is one of the region's best-known luxury resorts and is one of the few large enough to attract business groups.
"There's not another big brand in the market that competes with them," said Anwar Elgonemy, director of acquisitions for Equinox Hospitality Group. "Something of that size and caliber is not available in Sonoma because of the red tape for new hotel development. ... It is irreplaceable."
That's not to say the sale will be quick. The property, cobbled together from a 1926 main building, is not as architecturally harmonious as many top resorts. Also, Sonoma's hotel business has recovered slowly. For the first eight months of 2011, revenue per available room climbed 11.5 percent over 2010 to $85.67, according to PKF Consulting. Occupancy averaged 67.3 percent compared to 62.8 percent in 2010, and average nightly rates were $127.21.
Nor has the notion that luxury resort travel is a bad thing entirely gone away.
"Resorts have not been a real target market for anyone since 2008 when the government came out and said, 'Why do people take meetings at resorts?' ... so there's not been a lot of transactions there," said Rick Swig, a hotel consultant.
Finally, any buyer will know that the seller is extremely motivated. Crescent Real Estate bought the resort in 2002 for $442,000 per room, roughly $99.9 million. Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn went into special servicing in late 2010 when the loan balance was $55 million, according to Alan Reay of Atlas Hospitality Group. The property was valued at $105.6 million in January 2006, and Midland Loan Services is the special servicer on the property.
"What they are selling is the resort opportunity in the Sonoma Valley, where there are barriers to entry and there won't be another one like it," Swig said.

EXCLUSIVE: Mike Epps is adding a seasoned presence to Starz's scripted comedy series Survivor's Remorse, joining a cast of mostly 20-something up-and-comers as a regular. Additionally, Epps has booked a recurring role on the second season of the BET drama Being Mary Jane. Survivor's Remorse, executive produced by NBA star LeBron James and Mike O'Malley, is set in the world of professional basketball. It follows Cam Calloway (Jessie T. Usher), a basketball phenom in his early 20s who is thrust into the limelight after signing a multimillion-dollar contract with a pro team. Cam, along with his cousin and confidant Reggie Vaughn (RonReaco Lee), move to Georgia to start Cam's journey to success. Epps plays Cam's uncle Julius, who moves from the Dorchester projects to an Atlanta mansion with his family after Cam gets a big pro contract. Although Uncle Julius loves the perks of success, he still tries to keep the family on point with his guidance and wisdom. On Being Mary Jane, Epps will play Chris Warren, husband and a father who is in a great marriage, something Mary Jane (Gabrielle Union) covets. Epps, who is filming the feature Term Life with Vince Vaughn, is repped by CAA, Industry Entertainment and attorney Todd Rubenstein.

It wasn't until last year that we took actual family photos. Every year we take a self-timer picture in front of the Christmas tree, but there's something about getting together for an actual photo shoot that we love.
I know that not everyone can afford to take pay someone for a full photo session, but it can be as frugal as you want! Ask a friend to come over and snap a few photos around the yard of your family or head to your favorite park. It doesn't even need to be a fancy camera! Dress up the whole family and take your Christmas card photos or just a picture to hang on the wall for no reason. Offer to do the same for your friend. You can each switch out photographer rolls and all you have to pay for are the pictures.
We're always seeing photo deals and card deals, so you can wait around to print with one of those.
