CROPSEY Despite gestures toward defining Staten Island or illuminating the fact-fiction membrane, Cropsey is really a scary story told in the dark, in the get-this whisper of documentary. Filmmakers Barbara Brancaccio and Joshua Zeman explore a spate of 1980s kidnappings with the inquisitive-but-we're-good-people stance of two natives trying to get to the bottom of things. The abandoned grounds of a children's mental hospital fuel local tale-telling centered around "Cropsey," a generic Northeast bogeyman, until actual disappearances focus anxieties on Manson-eyed former attendant André Rand. Brancaccio and Zeman roll out citizen search groups, track court-case progress, interview twisted police detectives, dig up vintage Geraldo Rivera clips and spotlight Rand's rants. By halfway through, they've succeeded in hedging enough that every narrator seems equally unreliable and plausible, and even the filmmakers' true intentions remain in doubt as they play up Rand's perpetual postelectroshock affect. Embracing what's really the standard tabloid fodder of the decade with earnest engagement and doled-out suspense, Cropsey is one step from macabre comedy. Ultimately, we're not convinced that truth is a chimera, but just that these underdog storytellers have demonstrated an ability to tell an indeterminate yarn. (Nicolas Rapold) (Sunset 5)
DESPICABLE ME As the lights were dimming before a preview screening of Despicable Me, the 6-year-old who lives in my house leaned over and said, "I hope this is funny — not like Toy Story 3." Now don't misunderstand: He adored that movie. It's just that whenever the subject comes up, the first word he uses to describe the final adventures of Woody and Buzz is "sad." "Scary," too, when further pressed. But "funny"? Not once in a month's time. So, then, to the movie featuring fart guns, shrink rays and squid shooters! Despicable Me is a silly antidote to Toy Story 3's thoughtful heaviness — a cavalcade of kiddie giggles, titters and belly laughs with as much heft as helium. It's rather joyful and heartfelt, too — a summertime, air-conditioned Grinch, this is the story of a wannabe evil genius (Gru, voiced by Steve Carell) who learns that buried beneath his heft and hefty Mommy issues is a heart large enough to find room for three orphaned girls. To that, add countless yellow, pill-shaped, one- or two-eyed "minions" who provide comic relief enough to fuel a surefire spin-off show on Nickelodeon. Despicable Me is also one of the rare instances in the recent history of 3-D's resurrection as The Savior of Cinema in which the technology accentuates the experience. Though, grown-ups, be warned: I had more fun watching the kid giggle through the screening than I did watching the movie itself. It's no Toy Story 3. (Robert Wilonsky)
THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE This grim and bloody adaptation of the second volume of the late Stieg Larsson's best-selling Millennium trilogy — featuring journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) and computer hacker Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) — moves the story into a very different register from the stand-alone murder mystery of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Larsson's The Girl Who Played With Fire is a cliffhanger whose resolution comes only in the third volume, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, which makes for certain structural infelicities in the adaptation (suggesting that the best way to enjoy the trilogy would be as weekly episodic television). This time, we navigate the innermost recesses of post–Cold War Sweden's secret state. Lisbeth, a semicriminal adult ward of the Swedish state, gets her biography painstakingly backfilled, revealing disturbing connections with the main narrative, in which Mikael hires two investigative journalists with a bombshell story on child sex abuse in high places. Predictably, this pair is soon murdered, and their killer, equally predictably, is linked with baroque psychopaths from Lisbeth's past. Stripped of Larsson's social/political minutiae and slimmed down to its thriller chassis, certain clichés become more glaring: Lisbeth's superhuman hacking skills, overfamiliar from a zillion TV procedurals; an exploitative lesbian sex scene that mightn't have pleased the feminist Larsson; the secondary villain, a blond giant incapable of feeling pain — gah!; and the too-comfy manner in which the twin narratives finally interlace. As with the Twilight franchise, fans of the novels will eat it up while newbies may wonder what all the fuss is about. (John Patterson) (Arclight Hollywood, Landmark)
GREAT DIRECTORS Ten interviews with 10 "name" American and European directors — including Todd Haynes, David Lynch, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Catherine Breillat — diced into a documentary as asinine and fawning as its title suggests. The first measure of Greatness is agreeing to be interviewed by director Angela Ismailos, whose qualification seems to be a faint resemblance to the late actress Melina Mercouri. Leftist leanings are another evident step, so we hear from John Sayles and Ken Loach, who let slip one of the only candid moments in the film, cautiously noting that his interview is being filmed on a set, not in his actual rolling country garden. Talking to TV vets Loach and Stephen Frears prompts the funniest of Ismailos' unmotivated cutaways to herself, as she poses with serious face outside BBC headquarters following stock footage of Margaret Thatcher. Interviews are extended with excerpts from films, superficially tied in to anything being said and sufficing to remind us of the Great Films these Great Directors oh-so-Greatly made. It's interesting to briefly see Liliana Cavani, but her career is boiled down to The Night Porter; other subjects can be found saying these same things elsewhere (especially annoying-Aunt-of-the–New Wave Agnes Varda, an ardent autobiographer). Received ideas, creative class cheerleading, and outright schmoozing bore, but the yacht party after the Cannes screening sounds awesome! (Nick Pinkerton) (Nuart)

Legendary horologist and founder of luxury watch company Breguet, Abraham-Louis Breguet made timekeeping history in 1801 with the invention of a much-needed, but highly complex watch mechanism. Seeing the adverse effect gravity had on reliable timekeeping, he created the tourbillon an escapement housed within a mobile carriage that performs a complete rotation every couple of minutes. Basically, the regular repetition of the tourbillons variations offsets those made by gravity. It was a tough assignment for Bregeut to pull off, as it requires a certain durability while nonetheless maintaining its light weight.... Read More

Vegetarian Posole Soup
I had a number of friends over this weekend, some of which are vegetarians. Serving soup on a cool Fall day was the only idea I could come up with for lunch. I just don't like the gotta-make-pasta for vegetarians cop out for a meal. So, soup it was! But, what could I come up with that would be easy peasy?
I love posole and I just canned several half pints of tomatillo sauce. That's the ticket! I decided to use two cans of black beans to give the soup some color in place of pork. In the end, it still needed something. Something was missing….No, not pork. Could not add that…. I added three scant dashes of Tapatillo sauce and that seemed to be the trick.
Just FYI, I use low sodium ingredients. If you do not, salt and pepper the soup to taste. Paul is not crazy about cilantro, so I only provide it for garnish. If you love cilantro, add a heaping tablespoon of chopped cilantro when you add the last ingredients.
1 medium sweet onion, chopped fine
1 each red and orange bell peppers, cut pepper in quarters, then in to 2″ slices and cut into 1.5″ long matchsticks
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp each of cumin and paprika
1 half pint homemade tomatillo sauce or small 6oz can green sauce from Mexican aisle from your favorite store
1 4oz can diced mild green chilies
2 32oz boxes Pacific Vegetable broth (low sodium)
2 14oz cans black beans, drained & rinsed well (low sodium)
1 30oz can white hominy, drained & rinsed well
Salt and pepper to taste (I used ¼ teaspoon each)
Dash or two or three of Tapatillo or Chulula sauce
Olive oil for cooking
Heat heavy 6 qt. stock or soup pot over medium high heat, add a scant tablespoon of olive oil. Add onions and cook until tender. Turn up heat a bit and brown the onions slightly. Add the bell peppers and garlic. Turn heat back to medium high and cook until softened. Add diced green chilies, cumin and paprika, mix well. Now add the tomatillo sauce, broth, black beans and hominy. This would be a good time to salt & pepper to taste. Turn down heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
Garnish with sliced radishes, Cotija cheese, sliced limes and cilantro. Bon Appétit!

What Did October Mean to You?
Every year in October we are inundated by the Pink. Let me ask you this: is Pink still relevant?
I went to one of my favorite re-use stores in Boise's Collister Center a few weeks ago, and Naomi made a casual remark that has struck me ever since. She said, "I think by now we all have awareness about breast cancer. I want to know what they are doing about it!" Naomi is right.
I can tell you what I told Naomi that day. I told her that all across this country and around the globe, there are researchers, scientists, oncologists and physicians working on that answer. In all of my years of either lobbying on Capitol Hill for breast cancer research dollars or personally donating to Expedition Inspiration, I have found that the funds we allocate in the form of grants to those researchers make a striking difference in clinical outcomes.
The reason I became involved with Expedition Inspiration in 1995 is because I knew the founder, Laura Evans. She was one of a handful of women I called the day I learned of my own diagnosis. After I moved to Boise in 1997, Laura recruited me to organize a small fundraiser and ever since then, I have been involved in one way or another with Expedition Inspiration. That involvement has become second nature to me.
I have seen and read about the progress and results of the researchers and scientists that are recipients of grants from our organization. Expedition Inspiration also makes a mark on the breast cancer science world when we invite the best and the brightest researchers and scientists to our Medical Symposium. Meeting these dedicated professionals is quite an experience. Gives me goose bumps just writing about it.
Every year we deal with the Pink. Maybe it is time to make that Pink take on a new hat. The new hat can be a mission for research rather than awareness. Who's in with me on that?

Scones with Fresh Summer Berries
Summertime this year in the Northwest has produced an incredible amount of berries to pick to my heart's content. But what to do with them became a question in my head and even entered my dream state. So many berries, how do I use them all in something different and delicious?? There is only so much sorbet I can make considering we don't have an extra freezer in the garage.
I posted a Citrus & Fruit Scone recipe over the holidays that had lemon juice and zest. In order to cut some fat calories, I also used plain non-fat organic yogurt. So, for this batch, I changed things up a bit. The half cup of yogurt is now low fat vanilla flavor and a heaping measuring half cup full. I did add a teaspoon of lemon curd but that is because I am a bit addicted to anything citrus. If you don't have it on hand, I am sure it won't be too missed. It's the fresh berries that matter!
Oh, and one more thing: freeze the berries. When you toss them in to the flour mixture, it will help them to not "bleed" so much juice. My raspberry scones bled a bit too much but to be honest, it was the consumption of a new Pinot Noir that caused me to forget a step.
2 cups quality flour
1/3 cup raw sugar
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 stick frozen, unsalted butter
1 cup frozen fresh berries
1 teaspoon lemon curd, optional
½ heaping cup vanilla lowfat yogurt
1 egg
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and adjust oven rack to middle portion. Pull butter stick from freezer as you gather your ingredients to your work surface. I have found that pulling the stick directly from the freezer is more difficult to grate. You want the stick firm but not hard.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater. Use your fingers to work in butter until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Stir in fruit.
In a small bowl or large measuring cup whisk yogurt, lemon curd and egg until well blended.
Using large fork, stir in the yogurt mixture in to flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands if you have to in order to press the dough in to a ball. The dough will be sticky – this is okay! Don't worry…..Just make sure it is not too wet. I did use a large fork so that I would get every bit of dough for my scones.
Place dough on lightly floured surface and roll gently until dough is covered lightly in flour. Pat dough in to a 9" cake pan to form a round, making sure your dough is just about an inch thick. Flip cake pan on floured surface. Sprinkle with raw sugar and press lightly into dough. Using a sharp knife, cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes in a gas oven, about 17 minutes in an electric oven.
Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm. Bring to room temperature or microwave 15 seconds the next day. Or two days. Depends on how long they last! #scones #summerberries #blackberries #blueberries #raspberries
PS please forgive the poor pictures. I am seriously looking in to switching my iPhone to a Samsung.
July Checklist for Your Home
Summer is finally here in Boise, Idaho with the temperatures rising, events filling our calendars and barbecue invites every weekend. Just FYI, I prefer pool invites in the late afternoon for happy hour.
Lemon-Almond Cake with Greek Yogurt
I know, I should post more often. This is not a business blog or a recipe blog. It's just a me sharing blog. So, today, I am sharing a healthy cake that I devised from about three or four different other recipes. Part of the quest was to find a way to make the cake work with almond flour. No other reason than I love almonds, not to mention lemons. As far as I'm concerned, a perfect pairing! Wait, does that mean I need to suggest a drink? A white chocolate mocha perhaps?
|2 large free-range eggs
|½ cup organic sugar
|1 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
|Zest of 2 lemons
|½ cup blanched almonds (or not, your choice)
|1 cup almond flour
|2 tsp baking powder
|1 tblsp lemon curd
|Powdered sugar
|Berries for topping
Heat oven to 325º. Using canola oil and flour, coat a round cake tin and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Whisk eggs and sugar with an electric beater in a large bowl until mixture thickens. I actually used a small food processor, seemed to work for me. In separate bowl, combine yogurt, lemon zest, lemon curd and a pinch of salt. I left out the salt because I forgot and I am not a salt user. Just FYI. In medium food processor, finely chop the almonds until ground but still some texture. In another bowl, add the almond flour, baking powder, almonds and combine well.
Slowly stir the yogurt mixture with the egg mixture. Fold the flour mixture in and blend gently. Pour in to cake tin and bake for 30-45 minutes until cake is golden and toothpick comes out clean. After 30 minutes, cover with foil if cake appears to be getting too brown.
NOTE: if using self rising flour, only 1 tsp baking powder. For some reason, I have found using 2 tsp baking powder with almond flour helps it rise a bit better. Keep in mind that almond flour is just different but totally worth the taste!
Let cake cool completely if you can. Easier to get out! Sprinkle powdered sugar and garnish with berries.

Nestled behind the old high school gym at Hollamon and Main streets, in a very inconspicuous location, is a community resource one might not even know was there unless they were looking for it.
It's the Camp Verde Adult Reading Program, and it's been serving the educational needs for those who are a little too old to get their own locker at school. Don't let the name fool you, the center offers much more than just classes in reading proficiency.
While it does help people looking to earn their general equivalency diplomas and people from around the world looking to learn English as a second language, mathematics and workplace skills, it also teaches skills that have become an almost necessary requirement for life in the 21st century.
These are skills you can only learn first-hand sitting behind a keyboard, and not the kind that made Ray Charles famous.
The center has been offering classes in basic computer skills for some time now, Director Anne Hoy said, classes that teach people the basics of things like Internet use, e-mail and word processing.
The classes have been quite popular, Hoy said, although space is limited to the nine computers available in the center's computer room.
Next month, the center is going to build on these prior classes to teach students more advanced skills, like using programs like Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel, staples of the modern office workplace.
"These are skills that can help people when they apply for a job or want to get a promotion," Hoy said.
Of course, the center will still run its basic computer class, Hoy said, because there are a lot of people who have never touched a computer or are just very uncomfortable about using one.
They come from all walks of life, and they might not even be in the job market. Hoy tells the story of one student, 88-years-old, who was having trouble with her hearing and by extension, talking with friends and family on the phone.
A relative suggested she turn to e-mail to communicate, and after a few short weeks in the basic computer class, she was e-mailing like a pro.
Learning how to operate computers can also keep the mind active, Hoy said, and has the potential to open people up to new ways of thinking about learning and problem solving.
"This class started as an experiment," Hoy said. "But it's worked out well."
The advanced class starts Wednesday, June 2, and runs two nights a week for eight weeks, but Hoy said the class is already almost full.
There will be other classes in the future, however, so interested potential students should check for availability. As with everything offered by the nonprofit reading program, the services and classes are free to the public. For more information, call the center at 567-3187.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Family and friends are gathering to remember a Colorado sheep farmer killed while bringing supplies to his shepherds.
A funeral service is being held Wednesday afternoon for 50-year-old John Wade Bartmann of Greeley at Timberline Church in Fort Collins.
He died Aug. 17 after his ATV rolled and pinned him in a remote part of the Routt National Forest near the Wyoming border.
Steamboat Today reports that Bartmann was the 2006 Colorado wool grower of the year and was featured in a 2012 New York Times story about the struggles sheep farmers were facing in the midst of the drought and low sheep prices.
He grazed his sheep in Wyoming's Red Desert in the winter and moved them to Colorado in the summer. He leaves a wife and two children.

McCain's Mavericky Maverick Denial: The Videotape, Unlike the Senator, Doesn't Lie.
What the f**k is happening to Sen. John McCain? This dude's starting to resemble a bad train-wrecky realty show. Could "Mortifying Missteps by the Maverick" soon be giving "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" a run for its money? The once highly-respected independent-thinking "maverick" seems to have gone bonkers, no doubt brought on by his cornered-rat-like panic and desperation as August's GOP primary nears and many signs point to a stunning re-election loss to challenger J.D. Hayworth. I suppose fear of unemployment makes a man do crazy things...
The unraveling is reaching a bizarre peak. A couple of weeks ago McCrusty did the unthinkable: he brought hopey-changey mavericky Sarah Palin to Arizona to campaign with him. By golly, this is the same Palin who almost single-handedly imploded McCain's 2008 presidential bid. The same Palin who, you betchya, was called a diva and a nit-wit by top McCain advisors post-election. But also the same Palin who seems to be the Tea Baggers' porn star. And without those angry, deficit-hatin' Tea Baggers, who prefer Hayworth, McCain's reality-show days could be rapidly approaching. But, the Arizonans who voted for McCain all these years aren't Tea Baggers. In fact, they like him because he's a maverick.
Which brings us to meltdown #2. Over the weekend McCain shockingly claimed to Newsweek: "I never considered myself a maverick."
Excuse me? Really? Never considered himself a maverick? Are you kidding? As Jon Stewart pointed out, this would be like Rudy Giuliani saying "I never said 9-11." So just in case Sen. McCain, or anyone else for that matter, needs a little reminder as to the Senator's awesomely mavericky status...the video above gives it to ya straight from the maverick's mouth.
Oh Johnny boy, I guess we hardly knew ye....

Modern Language Plus (French and History of Art) BA - Emma Greenlees
Student profile: Emma Greenlees
Degree: Modern Language Plus (French and History of Art) BA
Third year
Subject area: European Languages, Culture and Society
I had always taken a real interest in languages and international relations, but also wanted to have two types of study. History of Art is much more research and essay-based, whereas French is more literature, grammar and speaking-based. This gives a really great balance and all-round learning experience. I chose UCL because of its London location, excellent international reputation and also because of the facilities relating to both my subjects. Paris is only two and a quarter hours away on the Eurostar, the Institut Français is a few stops away in South Kensington, and the art galleries are exceptional here.
My favourite courses have not been the ones I expected. The more I learn from the programme, the more I enjoy it. I have really enjoyed the French literature courses both in the first and second years (Reading French Texts and Exploration of Self and Form in particular).

House bill threatens new technology innovation and America jobs
By Markham Erickson, Executive Director of Net Coalition
There's a hearing in the U.S. House of Representatives this week that could determine the future of how we use the Internet. On November 16, the House Judiciary Committee will meet to discuss the Stop Online Piracy Act, referred to as SOPA. SOPA and its Senate counterpart, the Protect IP ACT (PIPA), sound innocuous enough and their goal is a good one—stopping offshore, online piracy and copyright infringement.
Unfortunately, this legislation severely threatens lawful, U.S. technology industries by overturning the existing laws that have helped fuel the tech boom of the last decade and instituting new regulations which would stifle innovation and job creation. Both bills gut the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which for over a decade has helped Internet companies grow and flourish. The DMCA is one of the big reasons companies like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter weren't crushed in their early days by harassing lawsuits.

Greetings! Just joined
My question concerns secondary fermentation...I started my first wine kit about 2 weeks ago and according to the instructions am ready for secondary fermentation. I decided to do the whole thing in the glass carboy because I do not like the idea of things sitting in plastic and was told this would be fine.
So today i'm going to rack from the carboy into the bucket, mix in the stuff according to the directions that came with the kit, stir to degas etc and then siphon back into the carboy. Does this seem OK?
Also, my house is at a constant 73 degrees (for plant growing purposes). I understand this is ideal for primary fermentation, but is it OK for secondary too? I will be able to store after bottling at 60ish later in my basement, but that area is off limits for now.
Thanks in advance for your time!
Do you have a 6 gallon carboy? If you do, how did you keep the wine from overflowing when you put 6 gallons of juice and yeast in it?
The plastic bucket is food grade and not a problem. Tens of thousands of us winemakers use them every day.
I didn't keep it from overflowing...the airluck popped off and it exploded everywhere in my room, where it was then exposed for the next few days while i was away...lesson learned. But I had heard that I can do the entire thing in the carboy by slipping a coffee filter and elastic over the opening for the first week or so or until fermentation slows down. Another reason for doing the whole thing in the carboy is aesthetic, that is, I just like the way it looks in my room
What do you think about it being 73 degrees after degassing, will this be OK? I am planning on consuming the wine in the near future so it won't need to be aged forever or anything...
Just racked into bucket, degassed and mixed in stuff for secondary and siphoned back into Is this foam normal?
Now you know why the instructions say to use a bucket. Remember that in the future. The instructions are your best friend!!!!!
73 degrees is fine for secondary fermenting but not for long term storage.

Judge rejects Seattle Center rules on buskers

Seattle Times staff reporter
Under the street-performer rules imposed by Seattle Center, "a latter-day Gene Kelly cannot sing in the rain," fretted U.S. District Judge James Robart in finding the center's busker rules unconstitutional.
In a 14-page ruling issued yesterday, Robart wrote that Seattle Center regulations that require buskers — or street performers — to obtain permits, wear identifying badges, confine performances to certain locations and refrain from asking for money violate the First Amendment.
"The street-performer permit requirement is a form of prior restraint, and thus raises First Amendment warning flags," Robart wrote.
The decision grew from a lawsuit filed by Michael Berger, a street performer who calls himself "Magic Mike." He asserted in the lawsuit filed in February that the Center trampled his constitutional rights by regulating his magic tricks.
Robart agreed. "The court accepts the city's evidence that some street performers have caused difficulty for Seattle Center patrons and tenants, but this is no justification for a ban on all street performers without a permit," he wrote.
"The city may have aimed the rules at performers like the plaintiff, but their reach is much broader. No matter how persuasive the lyrical urgings of Martha Reeves and the Vandellas might be, there is no dancing in the street in the Seattle Center, at least not without permission."
Center rules, which went into effect two years ago, also required an annual $5 busker license.
Seattle Center officials said yesterday they hadn't seen the ruling. "We'll sit down and read it with our representatives and find out what it's about," spokesman Perry Cooper said.
As soon as Berger heard about the ruling, he raced to the Center to perform, said his attorney Elena Garella.
"My client absolutely hollered with joy," she said. "It's been a long struggle for him, and he's been very disheartened by all the rules. Now he can go and have a good time with the people."
Berger, 57, has been performing magic and making balloon animals at the Center for years, but he said he's been harassed by Center security.
Last evening, he was squeezed into a Styrofoam SpongeBob SquarePants costume and back at his usual spot behind the Ferris wheel, twisting a pink balloon into a parrot for a passing customer. (The customer had asked for a SpongeBob balloon, but the notoriously curt Berger said, "Yeah, I don't really do those.")
"You bet I'm happy," Berger said, finishing the balloon and reaching for a crumpled copy of the judge's ruling. He suddenly shouted to a bystander, "Do you have a permit to be here? Do you? Why should I?
"I've been telling them for years that they can't tell me not to be here. They messed with a guy who not only taught himself magic, but taught himself First Amendment law."
Gary Keese, assistant city attorney, said he hasn't talked to Seattle Center officials about the ruling and it isn't certain when it goes into effect. "The Center's going to have to assess this and how best to operate so it's a safe environment for everybody," he said. "The Center will have to look at the decision, figure out if there's some way to modify the system they have so it's both effective and complies with the decision, or appeal it."
Keese said the rules were adopted after entertainers began arguing with each other about who could perform where.
The Center set up 16 locations where buskers can perform, and they have to stay within 5 feet of those spots, Berger has said.
In his ruling, Robart wrote that the rules are not being evenly applied. "While one person cannot sing without a permit, 81 people wishing to congregate at Seattle Center to proclaim their political views can do so without concern."
The case focused on the definition of Seattle Center, whether it is a "traditional public forum," as Berger claimed, or a "limited public forum," as the city claimed. The judge sided with Berger.
He pointed out that city documents say the Center is "the nation's best gathering place" and a "gathering place and public space open to everyone."
Robart wrote that the Center can't restrict the places where buskers perform, require identification badges or restrict their ability to ask for money. "While a street performer cannot offer a meek oral request for a donation from passers-by, a beggar who does not perform can solicit Seattle Center visitors with relative impunity."
Garella, Berger's attorney, said the legal fight cost Berger about $25,000, money she hopes to collect from the city.
Berger said that if he received a large enough reimbursement, he'd like to use some of it to put up an awning so street performers could get out of the rain.
"They have rain protection at Pike Place Market," he said. "We should, too."
