La traviata
Autumn 2014
20 September 2014 - 27 March 2015
Touring 5 theatres
Giuseppe Verdi (1853)
New production
Violetta is a courtesan who is enjoying the Parisian high-life when, to her surprise, she falls in love. But she cannot escape the consequences of her past life, and circumstances conspire to force her to sacrifice what may be her only chance of real love.
Asked some years after its premiere which of his operas he liked best, Verdi replied 'Speaking as a professional, Rigoletto; as an amateur La traviata'. He poured some of his most heartfelt music into this intimate story of family tensions and blighted love, and the result is one of opera's most profoundly moving masterpieces.
Director Alessandro Talevi and designer Madeleine Boyd (The Turn of the Screw, Don Giovanni) set Opera North's first new production of La traviata for 15 years in Belle Époque Paris. Two South Korean artists with burgeoning international careers, the soprano Hye-Youn Lee and the tenor Ji-Min Park, are Violetta and Alfredo; and the young Italian conductor Gianluca Marcianò makes his Opera North debut.

The Coronation of Poppea
Autumn 2014
4 Oct - 29 November 2014
Touring 4 theatres
Claudio Monteverdi (1643)
New production
Based loosely on actual events in 1st-century AD Rome, The Coronation of Poppea charts the consuming erotic obsession of the Emperor Nero for the beautiful Poppea Sabina. Ruthlessly sweeping aside anyone who stands in the way of their union – including Nero's wife Octavia and the poet and philosopher Seneca – Nero and Poppea triumph over all their opponents and rejoice in one of the most sexually-charged love duets ever written.
The moral ambivalence of one of opera's earliest masterpieces ensures that it remains to this day one of the most shocking and compelling. Tim Albery, who directed a ravishing production of Handel's Giulio Cesare for Opera North in 2012, has prepared a new performing version of a dramma musicale about which almost everything is disputed, including its authorship.
A cast of superb singer-actors is led by the American mezzo soprano Sandra Piques Eddy (Poppea) and the British counter-tenor James Laing (Nerone). The conductor is Laurence Cummings, one of Britain's most exciting and versatile exponents of historically-informed performance.

The Bartered Bride
Autumn 2014
18 Oct - 27 November 2014
Touring 4 theatres
Bedřich Smetana (1866)
Mařenka and Jeník are in love, but her father wants her to marry the son of the wealthiest man in town. In the end, youth and cunning outsmart age and power, and the constraints of rural life are thrown off for a while when the circus comes to town.
Smetana is best known for his symphonic poem Ma Vlast (My Country). His music for The Bartered Bride abounds with freshness and vitality, its energy generated by bold contrasts of mood and atmosphere, the exuberance of its folk-like rhythms and the catchiness of its tunes.
Daniel Slater's colourful production has been enthusiastically received by both audiences and critics:
'If you want to introduce someone to the delights of opera, this is the one to take them to.' Sunday Telegraph, 1998
'Daniel Slater's updating of Smetana's sentimental comedy first appeared in 1998 and is one for all the family, with its all-dancing verve and second-half circus interlude, which gets the evening's biggest cheer.' The Times, 2004
Audio Described Performance
Wed 29 October. Audio Description by Vocaleyes including a touch tour of the set and cosumes at 5.45pm. Limited capacity, to book for audio description and touch tour call 0113 22 33 590. Tickets £13.50 Essential companion free.

Forced Entertainment: That Night Follows Day
Autumn 2014
23 November 2014
Howard Assembly Room
That Night Follows Day is a comical and poignant text by Tim Etchells, the Artistic Director of internationally renowned theatre company Forced Entertainment.
Written for an adult audience with performers aged 8 to 14, the work explores the ways in which adults' words and actions shape and influence young people's experience. Addressing the audience directly, a chorus of children explores and interrogates the range of advice, facts, truisms, white lies and excuses they hear from their elders.
In partnership with Compass Festival and Opera North, Forced Entertainment will create a rehearsed reading of the work. Age recommendation 16 +. Although the piece is performed by children it is for an adult audience as the text contains strong language.
'One of Britain's greatest theatre companies' The Guardian
Part of Compass Festival 2014, taking all over Leeds City Centre between 13 - 23 November.
Please note the time indicated is the actual start of the performance. Doors to the event will open approximately 15 minutes before.

Music: Scaling the Heights
Autumn 2014
4th - 6 December 2014
Touring 2 theatres
Brahms's D major Concerto is one of the peaks of the violin repertoire. The rugged grandeur of the massive first movement gives way to the melting lyricism of the second, whilst the finale is flavoured with vigorous Hungarian folk rhythms, a tribute to the man for whom the work was written, the Hungarian virtuoso Joseph Joachim. Following in Joachim's footsteps this evening is one of the most compelling young violinists on the concert platform today, Jack Liebeck. The concert is completed by two masterworks of French orchestral tone painting – La Valse, Ravel's tribute to the waltz, its touches of parody shot through with a surprising romanticism, and Debussy's impressionistic evocation of the sea, La Mer.

Music: From Prague to the Rhine
Winter 2015
23 January 2015
Huddersfield Town Hall
Mozart had a special relationship with the city of Prague – his opera The Marriage of Figaro was a triumph there and led to the commission for Don Giovanni. His Symphony No.38 was premièred in the city in January 1787 – hence its nickname. It's a work full of operatic touches – the drama of Don Giovanni rubbing shoulders with the high spirits and nobility of The Magic Flute. Schumann's symphonies were regarded by the more discerning of his contemporaries as being the most original and important after Beethoven's. The 'Rhenish' Symphony is perhaps the most popular of the four, and its opening movement rides an adrenalin surge of energy. Between these two masterly symphonies comes Prokofiev's Second Piano Concerto, dramatic and fiendishly difficult for the soloist. Expect fireworks this evening from the Serbian pianist Aleksander Madzar.

The Marriage of Figaro
Winter 2015
24 Jan - 28 March 2015
Touring 5 theatres
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1786)
New production
It's Figaro's wedding day, and, to add to the usual worries, Figaro learns that his master, the Count, is out to bed his bride-to-be Susanna. The Countess is heartbroken by her husband's faithlessness – but she is the object of the adolescent desires of the page, Cherubino. And Figaro is in trouble with the housekeeper, Marcellina, who has lent him money on the promise that, if he can't repay her, he'll have to marry her …
The Marriage of Figaro is aptly subtitled 'The Follies of a Day'. Mozart's music bubbles along with comedic high spirits, but it plumbs the depths of emotion, too, expressing the joy and pain of love and the agony and ecstasy of desire, until all is resolved in a spirit of forgiveness.
With recent work for Opera North including a deliciously funny Ruddigore and a heart-rending Carousel, director Jo Davies is perfectly placed to hold the effervescent comedy and the serious heart of Mozart's sublime masterpiece in ideal balance.

Dmitri Shostakovich may be best known for his intensely serious symphonies and string quartets, but there was a lighter, more carefree side to his musical personality, and it is given free rein in the predominantly cheerful Second Piano Concerto. The Estonian composer Arvo Pärt has, for the past few years, been the most frequently performed contemporary composer in the world, a fact which comes as no surprise when you hear a piece as beautiful as his Fratres. This evening's concert closes with Mozart's last symphony, the 'Jupiter'. The composer could hardly have known, when he put pen to manuscript paper in the summer of 1788, that this would be his last essay in the form, but it's hard to imagine a more fitting climax to his symphonic career than this grand and festive work.

La vida breve
Winter 2015
18 Feb - 24 March 2015
Touring 4 theatres
This production is presented as part of a double-bill alongside Gianni Schicchi.
Manuel de Falla (1913)
From the composer of the orchestral showpiece Nights in the Gardens of Spain and the popular ballet The Three-Cornered Hat comes this irresistibly exuberant opera that sets violently passionate emotions amid the colourful sights and sounds of Granada.
La vida breve is an all or nothing tragedy of a woman who loves too much a worthless man who strings her along, knowing all the while that he is to marry another girl. The atmosphere is heavy with Spanish fatalism, heightened by the influence of Andalusian folk song, lightened by Spanish dance rhythms, and the action is ferociously intense.
Christopher Alden's production was one of the highlights of Opera North's groundbreaking, award-winning Eight Little Greats season in 2004, and was extravagantly praised by Germaine Greer on BBC2's Newsnight Review:
'It's a staggering work and it was staggeringly presented and performed. If you see nothing else this year, and you give a damn, see La vida breve. Go to Salford, Nottingham, go wherever you can and see it.'

18 Feb - 24 March 2015
Touring 4 theatres
This production is presented in a double-bill alongside La vida breve.
Giacomo Puccini (1918)
New production
After the dark, suicidal angst of La vida breve, Gianni Schicchi is the perfect companion piece – a satyr play played out around the death-bed of a rich man. The scheming relatives who vie for a chunk of his fortune are all too recognizable types, revealing the greed and avarice which lies just below the thin veneer of their family loyalties.
Puccini's only outright comedy is based on an episode in Dante's Inferno, and Christopher Alden's new production locates the action in the early Renaissance, at a time when medieval cobwebs were blown away by the fresh air of radical new thinking and creative innovation. The production also nods slyly in the direction of the timeless themes which Puccini exploits to brilliantly farcical effect – after all, those scheming relatives may bear an uncanny resemblance to our own family members!
With its vivid characterization and the spontaneity of its musical invention, Gianni Schicchi is a comic masterpiece in miniature, and features one of Puccini's best-loved arias, 'O mio babbino caro'.

Three works with strong associations with dance dominate this evening's concert. Gershwin's musical love letter to Paris, written in 1928, was not originally intended to be danced, but it is now indelibly linked with images of Leslie Caron and Gene Kelly dancing against the backdrop of the City of Romance in the 1951 film An American in Paris. Stravinsky's Firebird took a journey in the opposite direction, from ballet score to orchestral suite. Premièred in 1910 by the Ballets Russes, the ballet was an immediate sensation with audiences and critics, and the 1919 orchestral suite heard here demonstrates Stravinsky's total mastery of orchestral colour. In his Mother Goose suite, Ravel weaves together several French fairy tales, including Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast and Tom Thumb, to make music that is a delight for adults and children alike.

Against his mother's wishes, Lemminkäinen travels to the icy north in search of a bride. There, impossible tasks await him: he must hunt the Devil's elk, ride the Devil's horse, and shoot a swan. But unseen danger lies in wait for him on Death's river...
Based on a tale from the Finnish folk epic The Kalevala, Swanhunter is a magical chamber opera written by the composer and librettist of Opera North's hugely successful The Adventures of Pinocchio. Scored for six singers accompanied by six instrumentalists, Swanhunter is a celebration of the power of song, designed specifically for a family audience – for adults just as much as for children.
Opera North gave the world premiere of Swanhunter in the Howard Assembly Room in Leeds in 2009. For this brand new production, Opera North collaborates for the first time with the acclaimed theatre company The Wrong Crowd to create an inventive fusion of opera, puppetry and live action.

Fairground barker Billy Bigelow is quick to anger, but he is loved by a woman, Julie Jordan, who keeps faith with him despite his flaws. It is also a vivid portrait of a society: a fishing community in New England ready to celebrate the joys of living as well as to face its hardships square on.
Asked if he had ever been tempted to write an opera, Richard Rodgers replied that he had, but that Carousel was the closest that he ever came to doing so. The score is studded with classic numbers, including 'If I Loved You', 'June is Bustin' Out All Over', 'Soliloquy' and, of course, 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. Jo Davies's vibrant production, highly praised when it was first seen in Leeds, Salford and London in 2012, is moving and uplifting in equal measure.
'Opera North has a fine record of presenting Broadway classics, and this new production does a rich piece of musical theatre great honour.' Daily Telegraph
Sung in English
Performance lasts approximately 3 hours

Brahms struggled mightily to compose his First Symphony, so weighed down was he by the expectation that he was Beethoven's natural successor. His Second Symphony came much more quickly and is a far more relaxed work than the heroic First. Brahms jokingly wrote to his publisher that the Second Symphony 'is so melancholy that you'll be unable to bear it', but it is a joke that contains a germ of truth, for although this is a predominantly warm and lyrical work, it is shot through with moments of agitation and melancholy before reaching its triumphant conclusion. The prodigiously talented Guy Johnston makes a welcome return to the Kirklees Season for the first time in four years in one of the great Romantic cello concertos, and the concert opens with a perennial favourite, Tchaikovsky's lovely Serenade for Strings.

Richard Wagner 1843
Having performed all four instalments of the Ring cycle in successive years, Opera North continues its Wagnerian voyage with the work that the composer himself regarded as the true beginning of his career as a musical dramatist.
Perhaps one reason for this assessment is that the myth of the Dutchman, doomed to wander the seas eternally unless he finds redemption through a woman's faithful love, treats of themes that were to recur throughout the rest of Wagner's career. From this material, he constructed a thrillingly taut music drama that grips from the first, storm-tossed notes of the famous overture, to the work's resplendent final moments of transfiguration.
Like Opera North's highly acclaimed Ring, The Flying Dutchman will be presented in a concert staging by Peter Mumford, and conducted by the Company's Music Director Richard Farnes. The principal singers all made their mark in the Opera North Ring: Béla Perencz (Wotan) and Alwyn Mellor (Sieglinde) in Die Walküre, and Mats Almgren (Fafner) and Mati Turi (title role) in Siegfried.
Sung in German with English titles
Performance lasts approximately 2 hours 30 minutes with no interval

All quotes tagged Perfection
(1936 quotes found)
"The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself."
"The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on."
"I don't pretend to be perfect; I've made mistakes just like everybody else. When I have, I've owned up to the mistakes and moved forward."
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds."
"We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly"
"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

Lamborghini Debuts Aventador LP700-4 Roadster
Lamborghini is quite happy with the public's reception of their Aventador, with more than 1,300 coupes sold to date, and figured those numbers would increase if they released a roadster version of their highly popular supercar. And they've recently announced that their newest member of its supercar family will indeed be the super sexy Aventador LP700-4 Roadster.
To create a roadster version of their supercar coupe, they created a two-piece removable roof that's made from carbon fiber and weighs in at just over 13 lbs. These pieces must be removed by hand and they can be stored in the front luggage compartment. It also employs a powered rear window and a front-mounted wind deflector (that can also be removed and stored if not desired).
The topless Aventador features the same 6.5-liter, 700-hp V12 of its coupe brethren that's modulated via a seven-speed single-clutch pattleshift gearbox. It has a 0-62 mph time of 3.0 seconds and a top speed of 218 mph. It'll be offered for $381,000 and is available for order worldwide.

Bicyclist suffers minor injuries in Hit and Run accident
Original post made by Joe, Shoreline West, on Oct 21, 2008
The vehicle is described as a silver sedan. The Hit and Run occurred at about 7:30 AM today.
If you have any information as to the identity of the driver, please contact Mountain View Police.

I just spoke to Liz Wylie, spokesperson for the Mountain View Police Department, and she said the accident was not a hit and run. It occurred this morning at 7:48 a.m. at the intersection of Gemini Street and Wright Ave. when a car collided with a student biking to Alta Vista High School. The driver of the car stayed on the scene, and there were no reported injuries. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

Apparantly the spokesman for MVPD was mistaken or mis-quoted. The driver fled the scene, and the victim was treated for some minor injuries. The victim is my daughter.

on Oct 21, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Joe, I spoke with Liz Wylie again after reading your most recent comment. Here is the update: she said there was no vehicle involved in the accident. Originally, police thought it may be a hit and run since the bicyclist was found in the middle of the street. There were no scratches on the bike, however, and no witnesses. According to police, the bicyclist eventually said she felt a bump before she fell. She had originally thought it was a car, but was not sure.
The police did not call an ambulance to the scene.
They have reported it as a traffic accident since a bike was involved.

Funny how the MVPD has decided that no vehicle was involved. My daughter was hit by a vehicle, she was injured, and her bike was damaged. It was my wife who refused EMT response, not MVPD. She was on the scene prior to the police since we live two blocks away.
The only witness was the victim, and she seems like she's been somehow discredited as to her version of the events. We notified MVPD because we felt that a crime was committed.
My whole purpose in writing this post was to inform our neighbors, and encourage anyone with information to please come forward and help MVPD investigate the incident.

Sabres say Neuvirth needs to 'feel some love again'
Mar 6, 2014, 10:42 AM EST
Often the odd goalie out in Washington over the last few years, Michal Neuvirth has a fresh start waiting for him in Buffalo following yesterday's last-second deadline deal.
To hear Sabres GM Tim Murray explain it, all Neuvrith needs to succeed is a little love.
"For whatever reason, he's a backup [in Washington] and he's just not as important as he wants to be," Murray said, per the Buffalo News. "I think when he gets to feel some love again or whatever you want to call it and has an opportunity, then he can get his game back."
At 25, Neuvirth has a curious resume. He's played in nearly 150 NHL games but has been used sparingly over the last two seasons, making just 13 appearances last year and another 13 this year as well. It's a far cry from his breakout 2010-11 campaign when, at the age of 22, he went 27-12-4 with a 2.45 GAA and .914 save percentage, posting four shutouts.
Neuvirth has one year left on his deal (with a reasonable $2.5 million cap hit), so it stands to reason he'll be given plenty of chances to revive his career in Buffalo. With Ryan Miller gone and Jaroslav Halak heading to Washington, the Sabres are now in the midst of a young goalie battle featuring Neuvirth, Jhonas Enroth and AHL netminders Matt Hackett and Nathan Lieuwen.
(This isn't ruling out the possibility of drafting another goalie, as the Sabres have a boatload of picks in '14 and '15.)
For now, though, the goal is to throw Neuvirth into the mix in the hope that all the goalies will get better by fighting for the No. 1 job.
"We have to create inter-competition," Murray explained. "This is the start of it."

Sounds more like an episode of the Oprah Winfrey show.

- jpelle82 - Mar 6, 2014 at 10:58 AM
they kinda treated neuvirth like the red-headed step child this year, i dont blame him for asking for a trade. i do think neuvirth's attitude problem and running his mouth during the lockout didnt help him any either going into this season. i think he was just so disgruntled and disrespected he probably didnt care about the caps anymore. given the chance i wouldnt be surprised if he's the #1 in the near future.
- prosportswashington - Mar 6, 2014 at 8:53 PM
he also gives up alot of soft goals, he doesn't focus for a full 60 minutes
- vbcaps - Mar 6, 2014 at 11:12 AM
Good luck to him…still not sold he can be a legit #1 capable of taking a team to the promise land come playoff time but he is young and has potential
- billsin20xx - Mar 6, 2014 at 11:25 AM
On a related note I can't believe the Sabre's are so dysfunctional they are letting him use Miller's #30 without any thought of honoring it in some way. I don't believe it deserves to be retired like 7, 11 and 39, but it could be 'put away' for a few years like Drury's was.
- billsin20xx - Mar 6, 2014 at 1:49 PM
And to top it off Conacher can't have his number, 89, because of Mogilny! He's going to use 88 instead – so no using Mogilny's number but it's OK to use Millers….
- billsin20xx - Mar 6, 2014 at 3:43 PM
Sounds like the Sabre's might have listened for once – his number has been changed to 34 for tonight –
- penguins87and71 - Mar 6, 2014 at 11:33 AM
All you need is love…..
- smarshall3789 - Mar 6, 2014 at 2:22 PM
I hope he becomes the number 1 in buffalo he's got the potential and talent to do it! In the end this could be a great pick up for the sabers to get a good young goalie that can take over and still come relatively cheap!

BLACK THOUGHTS: A Political Ideological Perspective for
Afro LatinosPart IV: Voice of the VoicelessBy Kevin Alberto SabioI had recently gone out to a Latino heritage festival out here in my new home state of Virginia. Being that this is
Latino/Hispanic Heritage Month, I had decided to come out and represent my Honduran heritage at this festival; one of the
few opportunities that I have to not be the quintessential 'angry black male', and get to relax and let my hair
down, so to speak. I wore my paraphernalia (hat and wristbands) promoting my Honduran heritage, even buying a jersey
with the Honduran flag on it at the festival when I finally arrived. The festival itself was quite nice; not really
being on the scale that I'm used to being from New York, but it was still entertaining and enjoyable. The only
downer was getting asked the same stupid question from those who dared to ask…Are you really from Honduras?No…I'm wearing all of this blue-and-white because it brings out the color of my eyes…

Afro-Latin@ Reader focuses attention on a large, vibrant, yet oddly invisible community in the United States:
people of African descent from Latin America and the Caribbean. The presence of Afro-Latin@s in the United States (and throughout
the Americas) belies the notion that Blacks and Latin@s are two distinct categories or cultures. Afro-Latin@s are uniquely
situated to bridge the widening social divide between Latin@s and African Americans. At the same time, their experiences reveal
pervasive racism among Latin@s and ethnocentrism among African Americans. Offering insight into Afro-Latin@ life and new ways
to understand culture, ethnicity, nation, identity, and antiracist politics, The Afro-Latin@ Reader presents a kaleidoscopic
view of Black Latin@s in the United States. It addresses history, music, gender, class, and media representations in more
than sixty selections, including scholarly essays, memoirs, newspaper and magazine articles, poetry, short stories, and interviews.

The View from Chocó: The Afro-Colombian past, their lives
in the present, and their hopes for the future
Karen Juanita Carrillo
The View from Chocó:
The Afro-Colombian past, their lives in the present, and their hopes for the future is an introduction to the lives of
Blacks in Colombia. Afro-Colombians live in a resource-rich yet remote region of Colombia. They only recently won recognition
as one of that nation's distinct ethnic groups. But Colombia's on-going civil war has led many Afro-Colombians to reach even
farther than their nation's borders for recognition: many have made their way to the United States as refugees and as political
activists working for peace in their homeland. The View from Chocó introduces the lives and struggles of a
too-long neglected community of Colombian Blacks.

Photos and Video of Twilight's Kristen Stewart Promoting The Runaways on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon 2010-03-17 09:00:00
Kristen Stewart Sports a Tiny Dress to Follow in Rob's Footsteps on Jimmy Fallon
by Celebrity 38 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Kristen Stewart was busy promoting The Runaways yesterday, going from her press junket straight to an appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Earlier in the day she shared with us about how Joan Jett suggested she get strangely close with her guitar, but Kristen kept things relatively clean with Jimmy by talking about their friendship and how it felt to act like a rock star. Jimmy's getting all sorts of love from the Twilight gang after a recent visit from Robert Pattinson while he was out promoting Remember Me — her chat with Jimmy is below.

Kristen looks beautiful. I love the fact that she isn't afraid to try the new things and dress up for the events, but still keeps her casual looks. I find Kristen very related. She is very normal and down-to-earth. It is very refreshing. I'm very excited to see The Runaways this weekend. Thanks for the information #15. And I will ask my group of friends to go see again on 4/9 as the Birthday Gift for Kristen. Good luck girl. I follow twitter for The Runaways premiere tonight.

#12: She looks like a heroin addict. Is she naturally pretty and does she have radiant skin? Yes! Umm okay I'm pretty sure that 1) She doesn't look like a heroin addict AT ALL and 2) Heroin addicts wouldn't be described as having "radiant skin"...their appearance is horrible Gosh people are so mean just leave her alone, she looks great and if THAT is fat I guess everyone who weighs more than 110 pounds is morbidly obsese.

To # 23. I agree totally. Soon they will advice her to forget her sneakers and force her into the Heels like everybody else. A person is pretty regardless clothes,they got to her already and are forcing skinny schmatte on that authentic, couldn't- care- less girl. Where are our compliments and prises when she keeps on the plain clothes. maybe we should start prising people, actors particularly for being normal. Love the girl, regardless. At 19 we all are stupid.

Ok. I cut this girl some slack for her age, but seriously? I don't understand why people are so RABID in their defense of her. Weird. She looks like a heroin addict. Is she naturally pretty and does she have radiant skin? Yes! But come on! She's not bringing it. Someone on DListed once said she's like a novacained block wood. Which was funny...to me anyway.

BigPrize is pretty damn awesome. They requested a funny joke, I tweeted one, and I won! I've never won anything in my life except for when I guessed how many jelly beans there were in a jar - I won the entire jar of about 900, but since I was 8, my mom took them away... I never did see them again...
A friend invited me to check out BigPrize on Facebook because they were having a contest to win an iPhone....I am dying for one, so I became a fan and entered the contest. Then, I saw another contest to win a chicken dinner from KFC. Since i'm just a broke college kid, I jumped at the chance. The contest was really easy - all I had to do was post a message on their wall with an answer to their question. A few hours later, I received an e-mail that I won. A few days later, I get KFC gift certificates in the mail. Now, my stomach is happy, and so am I that I actually won something in my life! Thanks BigPrize!

A Father's Day Message from Two Daughters to their Dad
Editor's note: In honor of Father's Day, we have two posts today about fatherhood, family, and recovery. This post comes from Amy and Kristy Curry, daughters of Bob Curry, a Vietnam veteran in recovery and the founder of Dryhootch, a veterans' network .
From Kristy Curry:
Father's Day has a new meaning in my life. To me, it means my dad's rebirth. He is back—I can see it and sense it. He is healthy, happy, and passing his gift of recovery and hope on to hundreds (if not thousands) of others. I do not doubt for a second that he will touch a million lives with his story.
My father has always been the strong one—the one that took care of everyone else, often at his own expense. When I saw an addiction start to take control of him, it was like watching someone slowly shutting him away. Trying to understand his past in a war that we knew little about was frustrating. How could something from so long ago, something he never talked about, be destroying his life 25 years later? Not until we contacted other veterans did we start to understand that we were not alone; that he was not alone. Had it not been for his fellow veterans willing to sacrifice their time and energy to help others, I believe I would have lost my father.
I am proud to say that my father has done the unimaginable. He has overcome his addiction with grace and power. He has overcome his pride to tell others his history in the hope that it will empower them to take a better path in their own lives.
My father is my hero. He not only saved himself, he is saving lives every single minute of every day. He is selflessly and tirelessly working to rewrite the future for all veterans. Father's Day was always special, but it now carries the additional meaning of survival and strength. I love my father and am proud to brag about him as much as I can.
From Amy Curry:
For me, Father's Day is a time to celebrate the incredible things my dad has accomplished and overcome. It's also a time to reflect on his mission for other military fathers, mothers and families.
My dad has always been a great father—he has supported our family from the beginning, and was a constant presence in our lives as my sister and I grew up. We were lucky that my dad was able support the family and my mom was able to stay at home with Kristy and me. That's a gift I would not trade for the world.
We never knew much about his time in the Army, and he didn't really like to talk about it. Many years after he left Vietnam, my dad began to drink—something he never had done in the past. It came out of the blue and it didn't stop. There were ups and downs and we kept hoping he would get better.
My sister, mom and I did everything we could to help, but it seemed that nothing we did could get through to him. The worst thing about addiction is watching what it does to the person you love and thought you knew so well. Addiction doesn't just take that person away, it spreads destruction to the people who love him most.
After years of struggle, we learned that my dad's addiction stemmed from Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). If only we had known sooner. With the support of his fellow veterans, we were able to get the treatment my father finally needed. His military family encouraged him to draw on his own strength on the path to recovery. Now it's my dad's mission in life to help those who may be headed down the painful path he and many veterans endured.
He works tirelessly for his cause in raising awareness for PTSD and the needs of our veterans. He knows what will happen if they are ignored and doesn't want to see it happen to another generation.
I am extremely proud of my father and what he has been able to accomplish. I have no doubt that he will continue to do great things for our veterans and continue to be the loving supportive father he has always been to our family.

National Coming Out Week: Morgen's story
In recognition of Temple's sixth annual National Coming Out Week celebration, meet Morgen Snowadzky, College of Liberal Arts, Class of 2016, recipient of Temple's MarcDavid LGBTQ Scholarship Award. The scholarship was created in 2012 to recognize a student's efforts to further the inclusion of the LGBTQIA community at Temple.
"In high school, I was going to go into English," said the women's studies major. "Once I got into figuring out my sexuality in high school, it made sense to me to look at everything through a gender and sexuality lens."
Of the scholarship, Snowadzky said, "The voice that having this community of support gives me will be important for advocating for the expansion of resources [for the LGBTQIA community] that has become my mission."

Does your company use workers provided by other companies? If so, your company may be liable for the other companies' failure to pay wages or carry state-mandated workers' compensation insurance.
Governor Brown signed AB 1897, which adds Labor Code section 2810.3 effective January 1, 2015. This new law requires a "client employer" to share with a "labor contractor" all civil legal responsibility and civil liability for all workers supplied by that labor contractor for the payment of wages and the failure to obtain valid workers' compensation coverage. In other words, if your company receives workers through a contracting agency, and that agency fails to pay the worker or fails to maintain valid workers' compensation coverage, your company could be responsible for any unpaid wages or workers' compensation claims.
A "client employer" is a "business entity that obtains or is provided workers to perform labor within the usual course of business from a labor contractor." A "client employer" does not include any of the following:
(i) A business entity with a workforce of less than 25 workers, including those hired directly by the client employer and those obtained from, or provided by, any labor contractor.
(ii) A business entity with five or fewer workers supplied by a labor contractor or labor contractors to the client employer at any given time.
(iii) The state or any political subdivision of the state, including any city, county, city and county, or special district.
A "labor contractor" is an "individual or entity that supplies workers, either with or without a contract, to a client employer to perform labor within the client employer's usual course of business."
A "labor contractor" does not include specified nonprofit, labor, and motion picture payroll services organizations and certain 3rd parties engaged in an employee leasing arrangements.
A "worker" does not include an employee who is exempt from the payment of an overtime rate of compensation for executive, administrative, and professional employees pursuant to wage orders by the Industrial Welfare Commission described in Section 515.
The law does not prevent client employers and labor contractors from "mutually contracting for otherwise lawful remedies for violations of its provisions by the other party." In other words, the client employer can require the labor contractor to defend and indemnify the client employer in the event a worker sues the client employer, but the client employer can still be sued directly. Labor contractors, client employers and workers may not waive any of the protections provided by Labor Code section 2810.3.
There is no "opportunity to cure" provision, but a worker or his or her representative must notify the client employer of violations at least 30 days prior to filing a civil action against a client employer for violations covered by this section. Neither the client employer nor the labor contractor may take any adverse action against any worker for providing notification of violations or filing a claim or civil action.
The new law does not impose liability on a client employer for the use of an independent contractor other than a labor contractor or change the definition of independent contractor.
The new law does not impose individual liability on a homeowner for labor or services received at the home or the owner of a home-based business for labor or services received at the home.
If you use or supply sub-contractors, you will want to review and possibly revise your client and/or vendor agreements before the new year.Phillip J. Griego & Associates 95 South Market Street, Suite 520 San Jose, CA 95113 Tel. 408-293-6341 East Bay 925-364-4655
