*Member of the Young Singers Project
'A person is sitting beside the sea. He is painting. A tune suddenly enters his mind. As he starts to hum it, he notices that the tune exactly matches what he is trying to commit to paper. A text forms in his head, and he starts to sing the tune with his own words, over and over again in a loud voice until the painting seems complete.' This is how Charlotte Salomon describes the genesis of her fascinating series of paintings, Life? Or Theatre? The young Jewish artist had fled to southern France following the Kristallnacht pogrom in Berlin on the night of 9/10 November 1938, where she joined her grandparents. She was living in Villefranche when the Second World War broke out. Afraid of the troops who were drawing ever closer from Nazi Germany, her grandmother threw herself to her death from an upstairs window. Her grandfather then told her that when Charlotte was nine her mother had ended her life in the same way. Even worse, she now discovered that a whole series of other relatives had committed suicide. Charlotte sensed that if she, too, was not to fall victim to the family curse or to go mad, she would have to do 'something altogether insanely special'.
This 'altogether insanely special' project occupied her for the next two years, during which time she painted hundreds of gouaches retelling the story of her young life and that of her family, while at the same time investing those lives with a fictional element. All of these gouaches were created using the technique described above. Not infrequently she used resources reminiscent of the cinema to create a scene-by-scene narrative, adding texts that were often incorporated into the paintings. And she also included numerous musical references – the 'tunes' that came into her mind while she was painting and writing. These musical quotations range from Bach to Beethoven and Bizet as well as featuring popular tunes from the cinema. Now housed in the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam, Life? Or Theatre? was described by its creator as a 'Singespiel' and constitutes an 'altogether insanely special' fusion of images, texts and music that anticipates many later developments in the world of art.
Above all, however, this 'Singespiel' is moving testimony to a young woman who was alert and responsive to the disasters of her age and of her people. Hers was a life that came to an abrupt end when she was only twenty-six, for when the Germans occupied southern France in 1943, she was arrested and taken to Auschwitz, where she died shortly afterwards. Some six million others suffered the same fate. This is a life story that finds unique expression in Life? Or Theatre? And for the French composer Marc-André Dalbavie it is the subject matter for an opera. He has taken Charlotte Salomon's life and works and has also set himself the task of reacting as a composer to the music that she herself quotes.
Marc-André Dalbavie was born in 1961 and is one of the most frequently performed composers of his generation, enjoying particular acclaim with his opera Gesualdo, which was premiered in Zurich in 2010. His musical language was shaped at the IRCAM in Paris and reflects the influence of 'spectral music', a type of music associated with the French composer Gérard Grisey. Grisey and his fellow 'spectralists' rejected the abstract structural principles associated with serial music in favour of analysis of individual sounds, including the use of electronic resources. In short, their starting point is research into the acoustic properties of the sound spectrum. Dalbavie's international breakthrough came in 1994 when Boulez conducted the first performance of Seuils at that summer's Salzburg Festival. Since then he has continued to develop his own distinctive personal style. Using metatonal compositional techniques, he has moved on from the opposition between tonality and atonality or dodecaphony that was for a long time central to new music. Time and again he has been inspired by the music of the past. In addition to Gesualdo, whose madrigals has repeatedly formed a point of reference in his output, he has also drawn on the music of twelfth-century French troubadours and the Baroque tradition of the virtuoso concerto. His work-list features large-scale symphonic works that are regularly performed by leading international orchestras, but he has also taken a frequent interest in the human voice. In his opera Charlotte Salomon, his music becomes a medium through which the 'Singespiel' of its self-willed eponymous heroine can continue to be developed.

General, Opera
On Sunday, the moment had finally come! After the Ouverture spirituelle, the 2014 Salzburg Festival was officially opened at the Felsenreitschule. The tension keeps rising, and the Festspielhaus feels like a huge cauldron about to bubble over. Everyone is looking forward to the first premieres. My YSP colleagues and I have also been swept up by the excitement.

The actress Johanna Wokalek and the mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa embody the title role in the opera Charlotte Salomon, which has its world premiere at the Felsenreitschule on July 28, 2014. Johanna Wokalek plays Charlotte Salomon, the real person who conveyed the story of her life to future generations through pictures, texts and musical references, and whom dramaturge Konrad Kuhn describes as a "girl with a Berlin loudmouth and an irony bordering on the sarcastic". Marianne Crebassa takes on the role of Charlotte Kann, the fictional ego of Charlotte Salomon, the protagonist actively involved in the stage narrative. Let us introduce you to this central work of the Festival summer.

The Austrian baritone Wolfgang Resch was first educated as a singer at the boys' choir "Wiltener Sängerknaben" in Innsbruck. Even during his school days, he took up studies at the Tyrolean State Conservatory of Music before continuing at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna in 2008. This year he is a member of the Young Singers Project at the Salzburg Festival, and over the next weeks he will report on his experiences in Salzburg.

The Salzburg Festival looks forward to a very special world premiere as part of the coming season's programme. Under the baton of composer Marc-André Dalbavie and directed by Luc Bondy, the life story and artistic oeuvre of Charlotte Salomon will become the basis of an opera. In her fascinating work Leben? oder Theater?, a unique combination of images, texts and musical quotations, the young Jewish artist tried to come to terms with the dramatic events of her life. This work inspired Dalbavie for his composition.

Seems like Dennis Miller was running late, so the Opener, Richard Beltzer, had to go a little longer that he planned. He was unexpectedly funny and entertaining.
Dennis Miller was great. You really have to think and pay attention when he gets rolling. Sometimes it is a delayed laugh till what he says sinks in!!
[0 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
Dennis came out slurring his words and reading jokes from notes. He repeated the same joke several times and didn't stop slurring his words until late in the show. He was funny and irreverent, however, and still got laughs. I think he disrespected the audience by not showing up to play.
[2 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
First off the Genesee renovations are spectacular, they did a really great job and the staff is first rate. It's a lovely venue.
Some folks told me after the show they though Dennis seemed intoxicated. Sitting 5 feet from him I don't think that was the case. I think he was a bit slow to warm up, maybe even a bit tired, but he warmed up pretty quickly. I think folks who thought he was drunk referenced him repeating some things and I think those were jokes they were missing.
If you've seen Dennis' HBO specials lately you will recognize some of the material but there's some great new stuff thrown in. Best part of the show though, by far, was the encore where he took audience questions and had great reflections on his MNF and SNL experiences. A great show, a superb and unique comic, you owe it to yourself to see him in action live.
[3 of 3 customers found this review helpful]
The last time we saw Dennis Miller was in the early 1980s in Pittsburgh, PA. He had not yet hit it big but was REALLY funny. We decided to see him again. He was fantastic. You can tell that he is very intelligent by the literature and history that he references, but even with that you can still get the jokes not knowing his references. He brings up things that are very topical including airline baggage, the war in Iraq and even global warming. None of it sound stale and all of it is funny. Definitely would recommend seeing him. The only thing that makes it adults only is some talk about body parts, but it is definitely not as bad as some on HBO or MTV.

eBay Find of the Day: Timewarp 1993 Ford F-150 Lightning
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Dec 6th, 2011 at 7:30PM
Long before Ford turned its attention to building one of the most capable production off-road trucks in all the land, the company's SVT engineers spent their time trying to wring the most straight-line speed possible from an F-150. The result was the first-generation Ford F-150 Lightning – a vehicle that still manages to pull at our heart strings eighteen years after it debuted. If you're still sore you never got the chance to own a brand-new F-150 Lightning, eBay Motors has something special for you.

2014 HB HPI Challenge Round 3 at Freedom Park R/C Camarillo, CA, February 22, 2014
Minutes from the California coastline, Freedom Park in Camarillo played host to the third round of the 2014 HB HPI Challenge Series. Freedom Park's R/C efforts are headed by the Roadrunners R/C Club, a passionate group of R/C enthusiasts that host weekly events at the facility. The HB HPI Challenge racers that arrived at the track bright and early were treated to the sight of a beautifully prepared track facility ready for a full day of racing. Weeks before the event, club president Bill Secara and his team had put in many hours to have their track ready for the highly anticipated Camarillo round. The typical picture perfect mild California winter weather had also arrived right on schedule for race day!
Roadrunners R/C Club vice president and HB Infantry Team driver Jarrod Kadonaga began our race day with the informative drivers meeting. After a group picture it was time for the HB HPI Concours Challenge. The special guest judge from America's Tire had their hands full choosing between the numerous nicely detailed bodies. After much deliberation, Frank Liu's slick orange and chrome HPI Ford Fiesta was judged to be the best in show for the day! Then it was on to qualifying where we would see some good battles. The top qualifiers for Round 3 were Jeremy Dee (Electric Sport), Cody Secara (Electric Pro), Mark Dawson (Electric Open), Todd Marshall (Nitro Sport), Jack DeAnda (Nitro Pro) and Frank Liu (Rallycross).
The first A-Main of the day belonged to the Electric Sport class. As the tone sounded, the top qualifier Jeremy Dee led the field while two-time class winner Chris Rodriguez tried to find his pace and catch up to Jeremy. A few laps in Chris Rodriguez got around Jeremy and never looked back. Rodriguez went on to his third consecutive Electric Sport win! In Electric Pro, Cody Secara had been battling Chin Luc and Charlie Barnes all season long. This time, Secara had the home track advantage as he piloted his HB TCX from the number one spot on the grid to the top step of the podium. Secara led from start to finish with Charlie Barnes and Chin Luc finishing in second and third. At 25 entries, the Electric open class was the most popular class of the day. HB Infantry Team driver Carlos Franco qualified 11th overall but earned a transfer spot from the B-Main, earning him a 10th place start in the A-Main. Franco had a lot of work ahead of him in a stacked A-Main field. Top qualifier Mark Dawson made a strong start and was pulling away into the distance right from the gun, with Joven Madriaga unable to hold his pace and finishing in second place. The HB TCXX of Carlos Franco fought through the field the entire six-minutes, earning himself a third place finish! Two Nitro Sport entries and one Nitro Pro entry meant that there would be a combined class on Saturday. Jack DeAnda took the overall and Nitro Pro victory, his first nitro victory to date. Mac Macasero finished second overall and claimed the Nitro Sport victory with Todd Marshall finishing third overall and second in Nitro Sport. The sound of the nitro sedans drew in lots of attention from spectators and fellow racers alike! The final A-Main of the day belonged to the Rallycross class. Frank Liu's WR8 Flux with his concours winning Ford Fiesta body would go up against the Mac Macasero's WR8 3.0. The BMX racers who stopped by to spectate paid much attention to this class. The bright orange jumps laid out attracted spectators as both cars banged doors and aired out jumps for six minutes. Frank Liu would go on to take the victory with his WR8 Flux.

WC to host OAC Basketball Tournament doubleheader Monday
Lady Quakers face John Carroll at 6; WC men take on Otterbein at 8
February 19, 2012
Malcolm Heard II (at left) and Brianna Peters will hit the hardwood Monday night as Wilmington hosts an OAC Tournament doubleheader.
Wilmington College will host an Ohio Athletic Conference Basketball Tournament doubleheader Monday night.
The No. 6 seed Lady Quakers will face No. 7 John Carroll at 6 p.m., and the No. 5 seed Wilmington men will host No. 8 Otterbein at 8.
Ticket prices for the doubleheader are $10 for adults, $7 for seniors and $3 for non-OAC students. Ohio Athletic Conference students will be admitted free of charge. No passes will be accepted.
Both games will be rubber games between teams that split their regular-season encounters.
The Lady Quakers dropped a 71-68 decision at John Carroll Jan. 7, and posted a 61-58 win over the Blue Streaks at Fred Raizk Arena Feb. 11.
"We know each other very well. We have played each other 80 minutes so far this season and the score is tied. We know we are going to have to be at our best on Monday," Wilmington head coach Jerry Scheve said. "The home team was in control of both games until the end. Up there, we made a good run on them late and they did the same to us down here. We know we will have to play 40 solid minutes of basketball to win."
The Quaker men are coming off a 68-65 loss at Otterbein Saturday night. Wilmington was a 73-64 winner over the Cardinals at Raizk Arena Jan. 14.
"This is going to be a personal challenge, a game that determines how much personal pride we have," Wilmington head coach K.C. Hunt said. "We just got beat by a team and now we're going back to our place. Are we going to take the challenge or not? We'll see which team shows up."

All eyes on schools as Legislature turns to budget
Mar 3, 2013 | 2 Comments
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Democrats in charge of the Oregon Legislature have promised to find more money for schools. This week they'll show their cards.
The Legislature's chief budget writers are expected to release their proposed two-year spending plan on Monday — a sort of counteroffer to Gov. John Kitzhaber's proposal late last year and a blueprint that will drive budget discussions in the coming months.
The proposal is likely to include at least $6.75 billion for schools, which House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, has set as her top budget priority. That's $1 billion more than the current two-year budget — enough to reverse some of the budget cuts that have plagued schools with fewer teachers, larger classes and shortened school years.
There will be a catch, though. Sending that much more money to the classroom would mean spending less on teachers' retirement and all eyes in Salem will be on how deep the budget chiefs propose cutting into pension benefits for public employees.
Lawmakers also could propose reducing tax deductions or credits to raise additional revenue.
"It will take some political will on both sides, but we believe we can get it done," said Rep. Peter Buckley, an Ashland Democrat who serves as one of two co-chairmen of the Ways and Means Committee, the Legislature's budget-writing panel.
Current school funding is about $5.7 billion. Kitzhaber proposed raising it to $6.15 billion, plus an additional $250 million from cutting pension benefits.
All public employers — including counties, cities, school districts and the state — are facing a big hike in their pension costs this summer to help repair the damage of severe investment losses during the Great Recession.
Democratic leaders have said they're open to considering pension reforms, but they must be constitutional and fair to government workers.
Rep. Dennis Richardson, a Central Point Republican and former Ways and Means co-chair, said he'd like to see cuts to public-employee pensions and also a shift of money from human services to education. He said human services expenditures — which include safety-net programs for low-income Oregonians, seniors and the disabled — have risen faster than education spending.
"This trend of expenditure allocation cannot be continued, and the ones who suffer most are the students in our Oregon public schools," Richardson said.
That could be a tough sell to majority Democrats.
Buckley said the budget will also rely on a renewal of a tax on hospitals to help pay for Medicaid, the government-funded health plan for people with low incomes. Hospitals have agreed to support a renewal of the tax for two more years and also to hike it 1 percentage point to raise additional money that would be used to help them enact new Medicaid reforms approved last year.
The tax is projected to raise about $600 million over two years. Because it raises state revenue, the tax requires support from three-fifths of lawmakers and will need votes from some Republicans.
The agreement of the hospitals, the Oregon Health Authority and coordinated care organizations that administer Medicaid is crucial to ensuring it passes, Buckley said.
"I cannot tell you how important it is that we got that done," he said.
Hospitals support the tax because it ensures thousands of people keep their health care coverage. Otherwise, they'd seek emergency-room care for which hospitals would not be reimbursed.

Well sure, they're 'open to considering' just about anything, but when it's time to actually grow a set and go against the political grain, the end result will be more of the same -- and most likely with another little tax, fee, or permit added into the mix.
The clever inclusion of 'constitutional' and 'fair' leaves a fairly large escape hatch -- and not just by coincidence.
Sadly, it will be amusing to watch and listen to the political B.S. when the 'Democratic leaders" try to explain their failure.

So start by printing the stocking pattern (click here for template) -or designing one of your own. Fabric requirements need to be enough fabric to cut two stocking shapes from two different fabrics. For this size stocking you will need an 11" x 14" piece of fabric for front and back outside pieces and another 11" x 14" piece for front and back lining pieces. (1 Fat Quarter would be enough for all four pieces, but they would all be the same.)
I sewed a 1/4" seam allowance around the outside [polka-dot fabric] and 3/8" seam allowance around the green lining fabric, except the space left open for turning. This will help remove some of the bulk of the lining fabric. But if that's too confusing, just sew 1/4" for all.

Brown: Emanuel smart to cut trip short — but he'll still get flak

Updated: October 5, 2012 6:19AM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. —Mayor Rahm Emanuel will be taking a political risk by coming here Tuesday to speak to the Democratic National Convention with a Chicago teachers strike looming, although not nearly as big a risk as when he planned to stay a few days.
If teachers make good on their strike threat next week, it will always be part of the narrative that Emanuel skipped town to do politics — even for only a day — after he just recently had put out word he would be taking a more hands-on approach to the final stages of contract negotiations.
My own belief continues to be the contract talks will go right down to the Sept. 10 deadline, and then be settled, which will make this discussion moot.
That is hardly guaranteed. Ald. Carrie Austin (34th), who presumably should have more inside info than most of us, told our Fran Spielman here that a strike is "inevitable, " arguing that CTU President Karen Lewis wants a strike. I don't think so, although Lewis might like people to think that.
Still, when you couple the strike potential with the mayor's head-scratching assertion over the weekend on NBC's "Meet the Press" that his administration is "containing" the city's gun violence problems, this hardly shaped up as a great time to spend the week in Charlotte.
As one of the biggest stars in the Democratic Party, Emanuel is much in demand here during the convention as a party fund-raiser and surrogate speaker for President Barack Obama. Unlike the president, Emanuel isn't known to be squeamish about giving face time to fat cat Democratic donors. In fact, it's one of his specialties.
That could be why Emanuel's office issued the lame excuse Monday that he was cutting short his trip here — turning it into a 24-hour in and out — because the Obama campaign wants him to host a watch party Thursday night in Chicago for the president's acceptance speech.
By pulling out Wednesday evening, Emanuel will be missing his own Chicago Rockin' Blues Night party, scheduled for late that night following the convention speeches.
I'm sure Emanuel didn't want to be seen as caving in either to the teachers union or the Chicago Republican Party, which called on him Monday to cancel his speech and stay home to tend to business.
As we know, there's nothing more irrelevant in Chicago politics than the Chicago Republican Party, but a good way to become less irrelevant is to pick a fight with the mayor when the opportunity presents itself, so I'll give them points for that.
Emanuel has less to explain about leaving town with the killings unabated. Does anybody think the mayor is patrolling the neighborhoods personally or even deciding where police officers will be deployed day by day?
Even when he's in Chicago, Emanuel carries out his oversight responsibilities of the Police Department mostly by telephone.
Despite being in the Bible Belt, the mayor can swear at Police Supt. Garry McCarthy in a phone conversation from Charlotte as well as he can from City Hall.
More confusing was the mayor's assertion on "Meet the Press" that: "We're containing it" — it being the violence.
Containing it, meaning the numbers are not getting any worse than they've been since early summer? Or containing it, meaning the violence is contained mostly to certain neighborhoods?
Naturally, most of the Chicago Democrats here in Charlotte are singing from the Emanuel hymnal, but Ald. Walter Burnett (27th) made a good point just the same.
"I think [Emanuel] has dual obligations," Burnett said in defense of the mayor's visit here. "He's obligated to the city. He's also obligated to the president. And of course, like any other mayor of Chicago, to do good for the city, you've got to be good with the president, too."
Former Mayor Richard M. Daley may be getting tired of being second-guessed by his successor, but his brother, Cook County Commissioner John Daley wasn't about to go that route in his absence.
"That's up to the mayor," John Daley said. "I would assume he's in contact with the team and negotiating. I would not second-judge him. That's his decision.
Also in no position to second-guess was Chicago Board of Education Vice President Jesse Ruiz, who is here all week in his capacity as an Obama delegate and co-host of a party Monday for the Illinois delegation. Ruiz said he and Emanuel are both in touch with CPS negotiators and could be home in a few hours if needed.
But like me, Ruiz expects talks to go down to the deadline.

Bloody heroin needle found in bread

A mother in England made a gruesome find, discovering a bloody heroin needle in a loaf of bread.
The woman in Manchester was making her 10-year-old a sandwich when she found the used needle pushed through the loaf's plastic wrapper, The Telegraph reported.
She called authorities, who used DNA technology to link the syringe to 61-year-old David Rodgers.
Rodgers, of Salford, pleaded guilty this week to contaminating the bread with intent to cause public alarm, The Daily Mail reported.
He said he hid the heroin needle in the bread after getting high in December to keep his wife from finding out he was using the drug again.

The Red Bull Factory Racing Team MX2 riders delivered a spectacular season in 2013, with the combination of Dutch rider Jeffrey Herlings and Jordi Tixier of France finishing 1-2 in the World Championship, to also give KTM a comfortable win in the Manufacturer's title with the KTM 250 SX-F.
Herlings competed in 15 of the 17 GPs – he was out of action through injury in the other two – and won every race he entered except the second moto in the Brazil GP, where he finished second. 2013 was also a year where Herlings developed into a mature and spectacular rider capable of winning on all terrain. He is however still widely considered to be the best rider in modern competition on sand.
Tixier also matured in 2013 to be a worthy opponent to his teammate and delivered a strong season to finish second to Herlings on the overall points, a considerable step up from his fifth place overall in the previous season. KTM's MX2 riders remain under the guidance and management of the very experienced Stefan Everts, himself a 10-times world champion in motocross.

Osteoarthritis is a painful disorder that affects your hands, feet, and joints. Although we associate it with old age, people at any age can get it, even professional athletes. Technically, osteoarthritis is a disorder causes the cartilage in joints to deteriorate. As the cartilage breaks down, the underlying bone is exposed and can develop rough growths or spurs that result in pain, swelling and stiffness. Quite often, osteoarthritis is related to repetitive tasks, injury or other kinds of overuse.
Rheumatoid arthritis is another form of arthritis. It is an abnormality in the body's immune system that affects synovium, a connective tissue that helps lubricate the joints. This form of arthritis damages the bone and cartilage. Over time, the joints may even become misshapen, causing pain and stiffness.
Use postural supports like seat cushions, and pillows between the knees when sleeping. Many people find relief with moist heat or cold therapy. Anyone with signs of arthritis in the hands should try the Therabeads products.

Woe, Is Me
When somebody stabs you in the back, don't turnaround and do the same thing. Go directly for the face. Confront your enemies, stand up for yourself and fight through adversity: literally, figuratively and every way in between. When it comes to creating art, don't hold back. Put it all out on the table.
That's the message of Woe, Is Me, whose personal story of triumph through shared struggle blazes a shining pathway for their fans to follow. And it's a point-of-view delivered through an engaging live show where crowd-participation is a must.
In Woe, Is Me, the sludgy, aggressive bottom end of vintage nu-metal collides with modern breakdowns and electronics-enhanced atmosphere, alongside the melodic sing-a-long anthem style of A Day To Remember and the arresting emotional ferocity of screamo standard-bearers like The Used and My Chemical Romance; all with a powerful new twist. When a fan asked the band on Twitter to describe their jaw-dropping and brutal yet deliciously poppy and inspiring album Genesi[s] in just five words, their reply was simply this: "Really fucking catchy and heavy."
After a lineup shakeup that would have decimated lesser bands, the Atlanta-bred six-piece has risen like a phoenix from the ashes with their sophomore-slump-killing new album, Genesi[s]. Woe, Is Me's second offering is truly a rebirth. It's the beginning of something new, something of vital importance to the modern music scene that carries with it a message of consequence.
The band silences all doubters with these words, from "A Story to Tell": "You don't have the backbone that everyone believes you do/ so talk your shit / I'll give you a reason to."
Genesi[s] tracks like "Nothing Left to Lose," "I Told You Once" and "Family First" have taken the blueprint laid down with 2010's Number[s], blown it to pieces and rebuilt it stronger than before, ushering in an even bolder, in-your-face sound filled with musical confidence and bravado.
Woe, Is Me features two incredible singers whose versatility and power add dynamic dimensions. "This is exactly where I'm meant to be," Hance Alligood declares in "Call it Like I See It," decisively speaking for the entire band. "There's not a chance in hell that you can take this from me."
The fans first got a taste of Alligood when "Vengeance" hit iTunes in the fall of 2011. He has a melodic croon that could melt radio dials just as assuredly as co-voalist Doriano Magliano's growl gives death metal's finest a run for their money. The pair joins Woe, Is Me founding members Kevin Hanson (guitar) and Austin Thornton (drums) as part of a reconfigured lineup that is primed and ready for battle against the forces of mediocrity and repetition overcrowding the scene. Brian Medley (bass), Andew Paiano (guitars) and the rest of the band honed their craft on the road, analyzing and emphasizing their strongest elements together.
"Our music is what it sounds like to kick someone's ass but to have fun while you're doing it," Thornton says proudly. "We've been through a lot of crap and we're trying to show kids that you can triumph if you persevere." The band recognized the basic components of songs from bands like New Found Glory and grabbed a hold of what made them smile. "There's a reason why you turn on certain music in your car and when you're hanging out with your friends," notes the drummer. "That's something our music lacked a little bit. We were tired of that. So our new music is heavy as hell, the heaviest we've written, but also the most catchy and melodic."
More than ever, Woe, Is Me is focused on the big picture. They are aware of the power of insightful lyrics delivered with catchy melodies, the way that music can shape and take hold of someone's experiences in a positive or sometimes negative way. "What we say can truly affect someone's life," Alligood notes with humility. Part of that impact on their listeners lives involves empowering them with forceful words of strength. "There were songs that would help me through anything from a breakup to something with my parents," the singer adds.
Woe, Is Me works hard to craft the type of songs that will connect with people in deep and meaningful ways; the type of songs found all over Genesi[s]. When the band looks out in the crowd and sees people screaming the words back at them, they know they've accomplished something bigger than themselves. - facebook.com/woeis

- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Rub the flour, sugar and butter together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively, you can do this in the food processor. Add enough egg to bring the mixture together to form a stiff dough.
- Flour your hands and shape the dough into a tube, about 5cm in diameter. Cut into 2cm-thick slices and place on a large baking sheet. Space them out as the mixture will spread when baking.
- Make a small indentation in the middle of each slice with the end of a wooden spoon, and drop a tsp of jam in the centre. Bake for 10-15 mins until slightly risen and just golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Comments, questions and tips
It is Easy to make those jammy biscuits and It looks Yummy. Some BiscuitTexas recipes also have that type of Taste. Thanks
Best for ever because It is easy to make those Biscuits. Now, I need a tip that Is there any Biscuit Texas recipes ? Means In which Texas Recipes are include in Biscuit?
This is a great recipe. Really tasty biscuits and very easy to make.
I agree with leo-in-france; don't make the roll 5cms. I made my roll approx 3cms and they came out the perfect size.
Look at my blog www.curlyscooking.co.uk to see how I did them.
Don't get me wrong, I will definitely make these again; (only smaller); but did the recipe seriously mean us to make the roll 5cm in diameter?
As an older person, more used to inches than cms, I was not too sure what 5cms diameter looked like - so I got out my ruler, and made a roll of exactly 5cms.
The biscuits turned out to be enormous! at least 6cms.
I have seen such vast biscuits in my local coffee shop - so, no wonder UK already has an obesity crisis.
I notice the biscuits in the picture look to be of a normal size for a biscuit. I'll try for that next time!
Added 50 grams of dessicated coconut and used regular flour (no raising agent), filled with lemon curd and the result was YUMMY!
Previously mentioned stickiness comes from the egg, I think there's too much of it for such a small dough. I doubled the recipe, but used only one egg and still had to add some flour to achieve firm dough - but that's baking, adjusting the recipe as the ingredients change (i.e. flour can be fresher/ older and therefore more or less moist than the one used in testing).
Regardless a tasty, quick recipe and can made out of literally nothing. Will bake again.

I'm in the US and while I don't have access to caster sugar, I used superfine sugar and it worked perfectly. It took me a bit of time to figure out the measurements since everything is different. Once I finally figured everything out, this recipe was indeed very easy to make! Very yummy and super delicious! I used my blackcurrant preserves and they taste just brilliant!
Just made these biscuits and they are really simple and easy to make. Very few ingredients and came out great. They taste very yummy. I did add some vanilla extract for a bit of extra flavor and glad that I did as might have been too bland otherwise :) Easy to change and use different ingredients instead of the jam, chocolate spread, lemon curd and will this next time.
One thing I did find as well that the mixture was quick sticky and not easy to roll and slice so just broke equal bits off and mounded with my hand and made the indentation with my finger for the jam - this worked well.

FOL University
FOL University, two university professors on two fascinating topics.
A widely respected archaelogist, Denise Gold has excavated numerous sites throught the Biblical and classical world. Europe's first great civilization thrived on the island of Crete thousands of years ago. It was rediscovered in 1900 by an Englishman, Sir Arthur Evans, who excavated the city of Knossos. Here he found the great palace of the legendary King Minos, prompting Evan to call this ancient civilization "Minoan." Ms. Gold's lecture will provide an overview of this great Bronze Age civilization along with biographical information on Sir Evans. Denise Gold teaches and lectures on biblical and classical archaeology. She is an archaeologist and a Governor of the Archaeological Institute of America.
Francis Morrone, co-author with Henry Hope Reed of The New York Public Library: The Architecture and Decoration of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, published to celebrate the building's 100th birthday in 2011, will talk about New York's greatest masterpiece of Beaux-Arts architecture, as well as of the Progressive Era city in which architects, planners, and artists strove to create a new urban order, the "City Beautiful." Francis Morrone is a writer and historian specializing in the architectural and social history of the 19th and 20th centuries. He is the author of eleven books, including The Architectural Guidebook to New York City (1994) and An Architectural Guidebook to Brooklyn (2001).
Morrone (pictured ) wrote the column "Abroad in New York," as well as weekly art and architecture criticism, for the New York Sun for six and a half years, and is well-known for his walking tours in New York.He is the recipient of New York University's coveted Excellence in Teaching Award, and of the Arthur Ross Award of the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art.

However, its still chilly enough that you totally have an excuse to get snuggle close to your crush in an attempt to stay warm (best. reason. ever.).
Bonfires are a fun alternative to dancing, plus theres no way someones house can get hurt in an out-of-control after-party (unless of course you dont contain the firebe careful and leave it to someone who knows what they are doing).

Ford Racing debuts twin-turbo Mustang Cobra Jet Concept [w/video]
by Drew Phillips (RSS feed) on Oct 30th, 2012 at 1:00PM
Last year at SEMA, Chevrolet absolutely stole the show with its COPO Camaro Concept. Not to be upstaged by their Bowtie counterparts, the boys over at the Blue Oval have countered with the car you see here, the Mustang Cobra Jet Concept. Built by Ford Racing and based on the 2013 Mustang Cobra Jet, this one-off racer features a pair of twin turbochargers attached to a 5.0-liter V8 using the same technology as Ford's EcoBoost engines. While the current crop of Cobra Jets are plenty fast, running eight-second quarter miles in NHRA trim, Ford Racing says that the 2.9-liter Whipple... Read More

WotC Designer Firstson Familyname Surprised At D&D Naming Backlash
"I just don't get it. From the earliest days I can remember, when my parents got me my first Poopmaker Puppy, that's how we spoke," Familyname confessed.
"We lived in a Redbrick Ranchhouse, and all in all my childhood was pretty normal, from playing with a Bestfriend Neighborkid to falling in love with a Teencrush Heartbreaker.
Why any Gamerfan feels like I'm naming D&D monsters or powers strangely, I'm not sure".
Mr. Familyname admits the criticism has been trying.
"My wife, Spouseunit Nicewife has turned into a Spouseunit Nagwife, and that's been hard for my kids, Firstborn and Uplannedbaby".
Still, Firstson's faith in himself and a higher power keep him going.
"I just have to trust that I am an Elite Firstson, and my life is in the hands of Personalsavior Jesuschrist".

Hey. It worked fine for Magic: The Gathering. (Which in turn was a riff on White Wolf's "Creature: The Pretentiousword.")
- July 20, 2010 at 9:31 AM
- heyjames4 said...
It is exactly like Magic: The Gathering. In Mark Rosewater's Making Magic column a few years back (can't find link), he explicitly said that the reason they were naming things in the style of "utterdark snipekin", "bloodwave tempestmaker", or even "tenser's transformation" was that using compound words exponentially increases the number of names you can come up with (and sell product for).
That you can patent "spikenail hobgoblin" but cannot patent "goblin" is (officialy) icing on the cake.
- July 20, 2010 at 9:50 AM
"My wife, Spouseunit Nicewife has turned into a Spouseunit Nagwife, and that's been hard for my kids, Firstborn and Uplannedbaby".
Milk squirted from my nose... I wasn't drinking any. LOL
- July 20, 2010 at 11:44 AM
- anarchist said...
This style of naming is like nails across a blackboard for me. But I suppose it's 'invisible' to people whose first exposure to gaming was 3rd or 4th edition.
- July 20, 2010 at 1:12 PM
- anarchist said...
Although what I really dislike is having a well-known fantasy creature, but with an all-new name.
At least D&D seems to be doing this for purely mercenary reasons, not because they think calling elves Faekinne makes them original.
Although I wonder about the value of their names. Who wants to call their lizard-people Dragonborn anyway?
- July 20, 2010 at 1:21 PM
Good job. Hopefully this makes the rounds at the WotC offices. I can't stand those names, personally... they are just laughably stupid sounding, though it's clear they were meant to be oh-so-cool-sounding. If it's done for copyright reasons though they are home free... NOBODY will ever try to copy those names.
- July 20, 2010 at 1:33 PM

Oh it is gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh.
The trollbones crunched redgold under their lairbridges. Behind my bloodmount & I, the truesightarcher sends deathkisses three-wise silverflamed. There by the rustgates, the timpscreams rolling through the air crunched like candythunder.
Oh, it was wonder of wonders. And then, a godhawk of like rarest spun heavenmetal, or like silvery wine flowing in a well of soulstones, gravity all nonsense now, came the calling blastcry above all the other sirens, and those sounds were like a cage of silk round my helm. They bored, like worms of sourplatinum, into the thick toffee gold and silver of my spiritmindsoul. It was such bliss, my brothers."
-excerpt from Tomb of Horrorshows

- anonynos said...
So... this is something /else/ that WotC is getting blamed for? Because this sort of naming scheme never appeared before? Certainly not before 3e! I mean, something as silly as "Thunderbird" could only have come from people who only know who to play 4e, right? Damn these kids.
"Who wants to call their lizard-people Dragonborn anyway?"
People who want to differentiate their dragon-based lizard type people from standard lizardmen, I assume.

I'm not sure I get it, But, it was quite funny.
- July 20, 2010 at 3:05 PM
- John Williams said...
Very funny!
I'm pretty sure that someone in the WotC marketing department said: "I want all names to be a combination of names stolen from Diablo, mixed with common DnD monsters, with words like spike or blood attached somehow."
- July 20, 2010 at 3:20 PM
- rorschachhamster said...
So, you shouldn't be blamed for using dumb names because somebody did it before you? Even if you use them excessivly? Ô_o

Thanks, guys!
@Anonynos: Certainly, it's existed for a long time. It's just fun to tweak WotC about it, because it's so visible. I'm not blaming, just teasing.
Honestly, my players will tell you my naming conventions are just as bad. I also use anagrams of friends' names for place names...
- July 20, 2010 at 11:21 PM
- anarchist said...
"People who want to differentiate their dragon-based lizard type people from standard lizardmen, I assume."
That's the problem. A good writer would call their lizard-men 'lizard-men', and give them interesting characteristics.
But, as I said, I think the phenomenon of Wizards wanting to be able to own the names of their monsters is different to the phenomenon of fantasy heartbreakers where "our elves are called something completely different."
- July 21, 2010 at 12:44 AM
- Nick Crayon said...
You definately made me smile.
@anarchist- That's exactly the point. It seems like Wizards is trying to get away with bland descriptions of monsters and powers by naming them something else. To steal an example above, instead of making the goblins interesting foes by making them have a unique culture, or interesting tactics, or even visually appealing, they just say, "Hey, these are Spikenail Hobgoblins, not regular Greenskin Tinygoblins!"

Dhaka, Bangladesh (CNN) -- Seven female workers were killed Saturday afternoon in yet another fire at a clothing factory in Bangladesh's capital, police said.
"We have found seven bodies of workers who died either in a stampede or (after) jumping from the second floor of the factory as a fire broke out," Chowdhury Monzurul Kabir, a deputy commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, told CNN.

More than a dozen other workers were hospitalized after being injured in the incident, according to police.
Police and witnesses said the fire broke out at Smart Fashions Limited at Mohammadpur, located in the inland city of Dhaka, and it quickly spread to a second floor where several hundred people, mostly women, were working.
As the flames spread, panicked workers tried to head downstairs and outside to safety. But those that did get down found a door locked on the first floor, according to workers who escaped.
"There was no fire alarm in the factory, and everybody rushed to get out of the two-story building as some workers shouted they saw flames on the second floor," said Rezina Begum, one of those employees who suffered injuries.
Saturday's fire comes two months after the country's worst clothing factory fire that killed 112 people at Tazreen Fashions Limited on the outskirts of Dhaka.
It also coincides with a visit to the Bangladeshi capital by a U.S. congressional delegation aiming to assess the safety of clothing factories in the South Asian nation.

The Smart Fashions Limited factory employed more than 300 workers and did not have proper fire safety measures, according to a fire service and civil defense official.
"The factory is illegally built, and there was no fire exit," Mahbubur Rahman, the fire service and civil defense director, told reporters.
Police said they are trying to track down the factory's owner.
"We've launched an investigation, and certainly we'll bring the perpetrators to justice," said Kabir.
Bangladeshi-made garments make up 80% of the nation's $24 billion in annual exports.
The country has about 4,500 garment factories, where workers make clothes for brands including Tesco, Wal-Mart, JC Penney, Kohl's and Carrefour. The sector earned $19 billion in the last financial year, which ended in June 2012.
