London Symphony Orchestra LSO St Luke's Autumn 2012 Community music. World music. Classical music. Everybody's music. 2 Photos � Kevin Leighton Barbican Box Office 020 7638 8891 Book online lso.co.uk Welcome to LSO St Luke's! UBS & LSO Music Education Centre With an exciting summer of Olympic sporting triumphs now behind us, it's time to stretch our minds and participate in music. There's plenty to pique your curiosity at LSO St Luke's this autumn. There's an great mix of evening concerts to enjoy with friends and family: great jazz from Susanna Wallumr�d, Jason Yarde and Andrew McCormack in UBS Soundscapes: Eclectica; a `Klezmahler' concert pairing the sound of Jewish klezmer with Mahler's First Symphony by the Aurora Orchestra, and two intimate concerts of ecstatic, hypnotic and just plain psychedelic music in the Barbican's Transcender Weekend. BBC Radio 3 returns with a Thursday lunchtime concert series of Imogen Cooper and Friends on 4 October, and Rachel Leach continues her series of free LSO Discovery Friday Lunchtimes where you can come along and ask all the questions you've ever wanted answered about music. As London's only orchestral music education centre there are unique opportunities to sit in on masterclasses with the LSO's Principal Conductor, the great Russian maestro Valery Gergiev, and with international violinists Janine Jansen, Leonidas Kavakos and the LSO's very own leader of the Second Violins, David Alberman. There's a plethora of world class British singers in the building too. Sarah Connolly, John Mark Ainsley, Ailish Tynan and Roderick Williams are singing Schumann song cycles, and tenor Ian Bostridge gives a masterclass on 8 October. There's a new emphasis on singing at the LSO. Our choirs will be showcased in two very different concerts in the same week: the LSO Community Choir in an all-American concert on 19 November, and the London Symphony Chorus introduces new LSO Choral Director, Simon Halsey, on 22 November. And if singing's not your thing, you can participate in LSO Discovery workshops exploring Digital Technology, Community Gamelan, story-telling concerts for under-5s or First Monday Club for adults with learning difficulties. There's something for everyone. `It took place in the atmospheric setting of LSO St Luke's, a lovely space illuminated by diffuse late evening sunshine filtering through surrounding trees.'

The meditative aura of Schubert's `Notturno' arises through the piece's slow unfolding of a single Adagio movement. The Piano Trio in E-flat major is more dramatic in scope, with striking contrasts and folk-inspired melodies. Tickets �10 (�9 concessions, �5 under-16s) Promoted by BBC Radio 3 and LSO Pianist Imogen Cooper unites works she adores with musicians she admires to curate this series which spans Bach to Kurt�g and pays special attention to Schubert, Brahms and Beethoven. Cooper is primarily a solo interpreter of the classics, Mozart and Schubert in particular. When asked what she loves most about the latter, Cooper laughs: `How much time have you got? First of all, his humanity, the way he manages to convey so much emotion through glorious melodies that range from the imaginatively dark to the devastatingly simple'. Chamber music, contemporary music and lieder have come later in Cooper's career, as well as play/directing which she now undertakes regularly. She also currently enjoys the position of Humanitas Visiting Professor in Classical Music and Music Education at Oxford University. Born in London, Cooper left home aged 12 to study at the Paris Conservatoire. She remained for six years before her next bold move: seeking out Alfred Brendel as a mentor. The pair later recorded the Mozart Double and Triple Concertos, cementing their musical affinity, in Cooper's words, `forever after'. While Brendel has since retired from public performance, his son, cellist Adrian Brendel, and Cooper have gone on to forge a duo of their own. Imogen is a regular visitor at Adrian's annual summer festival in Dorset, Music at Plush; concerts take place in an intimate church and rehearsals in Alfred Brendel's home, a nearby manor house. The other musical associate in Cooper's series is Henning Kraggerud, a man who took up the violin to copy his brother and looked forward to lessons because they ended in eating cake and ice cream with his teacher before playing duets. The adult Kraggerud is a global star who gracefully articulates music's unique poignancy: `[It] is the shortest way to get into contact with your own inner light. A novel can take hours, but hear one melody and you're instantly in contact with something important'.

The Sunday Times on Ian Bostridge, October 2012 10 Barbican Box Office 020 7638 8891 Book online lso.co.uk/lsostlukes (except where stated) BBC Radio 3 Lunchtime Concerts Schumann Song Cycles John Mark Ainsley Roderick Williams Ailish Tynan Sarah Connolly 11 Oct 25 Oct 1 Nov 15 Nov Thu 11 Oct 1pm Jerwood Hall BBC Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert: Schumann Song Cycles Beethoven An die ferne Geliebte Schumann Dichterliebe Beethoven Adelaide John Mark Ainsley tenor Roger Vignoles piano Beethoven's An die ferne Geliebte (To the Distant Beloved) channels feelings of intense longing and fixation on the pain of separation. The earlier setting of poet Friedrich von Matthisson's Adelaide similarly focusses on fervent desire and the unattainable. Schumann's Dichterliebe, or `A Poet's Love', traces a poet's increasing destitution as he yearns for his imagined love. Tickets �10 (�9 concessions, �5 under-16s) Promoted by BBC Radio 3 and LSO There can be few composers as associated with the outpouring of profound emotion through song as Robert Schumann. And yet as a young virtuoso pianist with high hopes of a glittering performance career, Schumann produced exclusively piano music for the first decade of his compositional life, even going so far as to label works for piano and voice as `inferior'. 1840 was the year that everything changed. After a clandestine and emotionally draining six-year courtship with Clara Wieck, daughter of Schumann's piano teacher Friedrich, the pair finally `went public' and married. In the same year, Schumann produced over 150 of his some 300 songs. So significant is this time in Schumann's career that it has been dubbed the Liederjahr (year of song). As the son of a publisher and novelist, Schumann's childhood was steeped in literature, poetry and aesthetics. The unprecedented move to wed his two loves � words and music � in a torrent of lieder expressing ecstasy, agony and everything in between reflects the young couple's newfound freedom as well as the hard face of reality brought by marriage. By this point, a hand injury Schumann had sustained in the 1830s (the exact cause of which remains a mystery) had well and truly scuppered his fantasy of becoming a concert pianist � besides, wife Clara had by far the superior technique and was proving a huge star. As well as the peaks and troughs of love, Schumann's lieder tell of the despair of shattered dreams, of feeling misunderstood and alone. This series teams five of Schumann's most powerful song cycles with songs by those other champions of drama Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn and Mahler, not forgetting Schumann's darling Clara, a brilliant composer in her own right. Breathing life into these intimate portraits of the soul are English singers John Mark Ainsley, Roderick Williams, Ailish Tynan and Sarah Connolly, accompanied by some of the finest pianists on today's circuit. Fabienne Morris `[He] sings with brilliant tone, rich musicality, crisp diction and athletic technique.' The Independent on John Mark Ainsley, October 2008 Barbican Box Office 020 7638 8891 Book online lso.co.uk/lsostlukes (except where stated) 11 October Fri 12 Oct 3�6pm Jerwood Hall Tue 16 Oct 8pm Jerwood Hall `Gergiev has only to flick a wrist, twitch a muscle to energise a performance so deep within this orchestra that it almost plays itself.' The Times on Valery Gergiev, May 2012 Centre for Orchestra: Orchestral Masterclass with Valery Gergiev As part of this season's focus on Brahms and Szymanowski, join LSO Principal Conductor Valery Gergiev as he works with the Guildhall School Symphony Orchestra rehearsing Brahms Symphony No 2. He will also be coaching an emerging conductor from the Guildhall School. Free entry, booking essential UBS Soundscapes: Eclectica Susanna � Original Norwegian Songstress Susanna piano, vocals Helge Sten guitar Erland Dahlen drums Heartbreaking, enchanting and utterly original, Susanna brings her trio to perform repertoire ranging from Susanna and the Magical Orchestra's acclaimed cover versions (including Dolly Parton's Jolene and Kiss' Crazy, Crazy Nights) through to more recent recordings of her own songs, many of which can be found on her latest album Wild Dog.

Mojo Magazine In profile Susanna Wallumr�d Despite her eclectic inspirations, which lead to performances encompassing everything from ABBA and Henry Purcell to genre-defying original songs, each note and phrase of Susanna Wallumr�d's music is unmistakably her own. Set against the hypnotic backdrop of piano, guitar and drums, her ethereal voice creates a haunting, intimate quality in both her own creations and covers, all of which are infused with a trademark blend of rock, jazz and classical. The desire to knit together a rich fabric of styles and influences has been a feature of Susanna's career from the very beginning. She grew up in a musical family (her brothers Christian and Frederik also became professional musicians) and spent her childhood immersed in Norwegian folk song, hymn tunes and American pop. She formed the duo Susanna and the Magical Orchestra with keyboardist Morten Qvenild in 2000, recording three albums, which combine atmospheric pop with electronic elements and a hint of jazz. Solo recordings followed, along with collaborations with indie-folk royalty Bonnie `Prince' Billy and recently, an experimental album of music by Purcell, Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake, in which Susanna's vocals float above interweaving strings and harp. For her appearance at LSO St Luke's, Susanna will be backed by guitarist Helge Sten and drummer Erland Dahlen; together they will perform a selection of reflective songs drawn from Susanna's most recent album, Wild Dog, along with her famous cover versions, stripped back and re-imagined in the singer's own unique style.

The Guardian on Imogen Cooper, December 2009 BBC Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert: Imogen Cooper Solo Recital Haydn Piano Sonata in C minor Brahms Three Intermezzi Beethoven Piano Sonata in D major Imogen Cooper piano The powerful influence of the Sturm und Drang movement on Haydn's music is revealed in the Sonata in C minor's forceful outbursts and unpredictable dynamics. Brahms described his Three Intermezzi as `lullabies to my sorrows'. Beethoven's early Piano Sonata in D major spans both lively virtuosity and profound lyricism.

This project pairs the sounds of klezmer with the first symphonic creation of Gustav Mahler, whose own fascination with traditional folk music is vividly evident in this work. Iain Farrington's new chamber orchestra arrangement of the symphony follows in the footsteps of Schoenberg's Mahler reductions of the 1920s, bringing intimacy and piercing clarity whilst stretching players to the furthest limits of virtuosity.

IAIN FARRINGTON) SYMPHONY NO. 1 As Britain's most exciting and innovative ensemble of today, here's what the Press have had to say about their recent concerts. How many orchestras could field their principal viola player as a virtuoso break dancer? Probably only Aurora. There seems to be no end to what this young ensemble is willing, hungry and able to do. Hilary Finch, The Times July 2012 Some startlingly good performances from Collon and the orchestra, fizzing with energy and enthusiasm. Andrew Clements, The Guardian November 2011 The music was played with exhilarating verve and alertness. The sound of the orchestra had a properly ceremonial swagger Richard Morrison, The Times January 2011 A fabulous young chamber orchestra that in six years of existence has emerged as one of the most dynamic, innovative and open-minded groups of its kind. Michael White, The Telegraph May 2011 No doubt about it: when it comes to eye-catching presentation, the Aurora Orchestra leaves everyone else standing ... The players stood to perform, and conductor Nicholas Collon was an engaging host as well as a flamboyantly energised director. Ivan Hewett, The Telegraph February 2012 Under Collon, the playing was vividly exuberant, yet still thoughtful and stylish. The average age of the orchestra can't be a day over 30, and the musicians play as if they have something to prove.

The Independent on Halsey and the CBSO Chorus 20 Barbican Box Office 020 7638 8891 Book online lso.co.uk/lsostlukes (except where stated) Interview Simon Halsey LSO Choral Director Simon Halsey � if you're a singer, you'll know the name. Widely regarded as one of the most esteemed choral conductors and educators in the world, it was with great excitement that we learnt that Simon had accepted the position of LSO Choral Director as of this August. You could say that Simon was born to do his job. His father was the great choral trainer Louis Halsey and worked with Vaughan Williams, while his grandfather studied with Charles Stanford, the Victorian composer and teacher who, along with Hubert Parry (of Jerusalem fame), played a pivotal role in ending the drought in English compositional talent that had marred the country since Tudor times. As a boy, Simon was fortunate enough to attend some of the best choral schools England has to offer and sung in the illustrious choirs of New College, Oxford and King's College, Cambridge, before specialising in conducting at the Royal College of Music. Then came Simon's baptism of fire � aged just 24 he was offered the position of Choral Director at the City of Birmingham Symphony Chorus. `Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s, somehow everything was possible', Simon recalls, `My great friend Simon Rattle was chief conductor of the CBSO at the age of 24, Thomas Trotter was the city organist at 23. Why we were given these jobs in Birmingham at this age, I have no idea! The city had the courage to employ us. We discovered how to do everything by mistake � somehow, by accident and energy, it all worked.' Birmingham remains close to Simon's heart � he still conducts the CBSO Chorus some 30 years on and lives near the city with his wife. As Chief Conductor of the Berlin Radio Choir and Artistic Director of the Berlin Philharmonic's Youth Choral Scheme, he also spends a good deal of time jetting to and from Germany. But 2012 looks to be the year that London finally gets a look-in from this fine choral communicator. As well as taking responsibility for all of the London Symphony Chorus' projects, including around six concerts per season at the Barbican with the LSO, Simon will lead choral strategy across the LSO's performance and education programmes. As Director of the BBC Proms Youth Choir amongst many other education initiatives, Simon is more than qualified for the job. His appointment will enable the LSO to develop its choral activity, including the LSO Discovery Youth and Community Choirs at LSO St Luke's, and instigate brand new ventures such as LSO Singing Days, which will offer the public the opportunity to take part like never before. Simon confesses to harbouring a soft spot for the LSC: `It's a group that I hold dear because they were encouraging to me as a student assistant to Richard Hickox in the early 1980s. To return as their director and take a new post created to bring choral work into the heart of the LSO and its Discovery programme is a dream come true'. We can't wait to see what stuff these dreams are made of. Simon Halsey conducts his inaugural LSC concert at LSO St Luke's on 22 November.

Isla Jeffrey caught up with jazz saxophonist Jason Yarde ahead of his and pianist Andrew McCormack's UBS Soundscapes: Eclectica concert at LSO St Luke's on 27 November. How did your relationship with the LSO and LSO St Luke's start? My compositional relationship started in 2006 with me being part of the Panufnik Young Composers Scheme. Composers are invited to write a piece for the Orchestra which is workshopped in front of an audience, having been mentored, in my case, by Colin Matthews along the way. This led to me scoring an original piece and a series of arrangements for Hugh Masekela when he was to make his LSO soloist debut. I'm currently working on a new commission for the Orchestra to perform in April 2013. How did you meet Andrew and what did you both first work on? Andrew and I met through Tomorrow's Warriors, a young jazz workshop group spearheaded by Gary Crosby � we ran a monthly jam session at the Watermans Art Centre. I led the group and Andrew sat in with the band one night and then went on to do cover gigs eventually taking over the piano chair in the new lineup. We've since gone on to work on a great variety of projects together before establishing this duo more than ten years later. What did it feel like the first time you picked up an instrument? I wish I could truly remember the first time I picked up an instrument! I see the sheer joy in my two-yearold son's face when he plays any instrument and it's been a great reminder of `how, what and why' that I constantly try to draw from. 24 Your website has a great name, `Joy and Ears'. What does `Joy and Ears' mean to you? In short, it represents two of the most important elements of music making and sharing for me. You have to listen, sometimes very intensively but it always has to have some level of enjoyment. What was the thinking behind your new album with Andrew, Places and Other Spaces? Will we hear much from this album at the concert and do you have any favourites on there? All the music bar one piece is an original composition by either or both of us and after taking stock of the recordings we made out at Dartington it seemed most of the pieces were about people or places. To be honest we were favouring Faces and Places but it has been used to very good effect already! So although the `Places' part is quite obvious, `Other Spaces' firstly refers to a method of instant, joint composition we used for the record. The idea being with little discussion we produce music together that occupies `other' sonic spaces that we might not otherwise arrive at. We will hopefully have time to demonstrate this at LSO St Luke's along with a good sprinkling of other tracks from the album. Anitbes and Hill Walking are favourites of ours and it seems audiences like them live, and on record, and I really like how Andrew and I combined on Holding Pattern but we tend not to play it live. What are you most looking forward to about your concert at LSO St Luke's? It's a beautiful space to play in especially for acoustic instruments � relatively large yet greatly intimate, so we are really able to hone in on the music. Besides material from our first two albums we will hopefully be unleashing some material from our third album to be released next April, potentially with some very special guests ... What would you say to someone who wasn't sure whether to give the concert a go? If none of the above has convinced anybody ... COME ON DOWN! It's a really exciting time for us as we get ready to develop material and record, and LSO St Luke's has got to be one of the best venues in town (if not the country) to witness Andrew and me on this particular journey.

Andrew and Jason have collaborated many times before, from jazz projects for Dune Music to commissions for the LSO through the Panufnik Young Composers Scheme. Their 2011 album Places and Other Spaces has been described by Jazzwise as the work of `two strong characters who are able to buttress their technical ingenuity with considerable emotional depth'.

Happy Weekend! We've had a chance to get outdoors (yesterday) and even do a bit of gardening (bean bushes). Like last year, I went way overboard on the greens. I have enough kale to open up my own farm stand at this point. I still want to plant squash, zucchinis, cucumbers, garlic and corn later in the year.

Happy Easter Weekend =) We did an Easter Egg hunt with Jamisen. He was beyond euphoric about the whole concept of sugar. Trying to explain to him why Easter happens was a little tricky. The internet was no help either. I stumbled over an explanation to him but had vastly underestimated the need for an actual explanation. Jamisen didn't ask one single question about why he was made to get dressed up, carry a pink basket and go find plastic eggs filled with candy. Ah, so sweet: childhood innocence.

We recently took a family trip to Hawaii with Grandma and Grandpa Faiola. My Dad had a medical conference and invited us to tag along so I cashed in all of our air miles and we took off an adventure.It was our first time traveling with the kids so we were both a little nervous. The flights were just as bad as we expected (worse, actually) but once we got to Hawaii, memories of the bad flight quickly faded. It was Jamisen and Lily's first time experiencing sand and they loved it! We had a good time exploring the waves, making sand castles, eating yummy food at the restaurants and laughing.

One of the joys I have in life is creating; it's how I got into soapmaking. I love crafts of all types (don't believe me? My crafty boards on Pinterest have a veritable lifetime of awesome craft ideas for me to try). I knit. I have a flower press. I have newly started gardening. I adore cooking. I rubber stamp. I like to color. And, I now consider myself an expert play dough sculptor.
When I was tasked with developing a 2.5 day retreat for my Entrepreneur's Organization group (that's us at the Inn at Langley enjoying an amazing meal cooked by Matt Costello), I jumped at the chance to make our team building exercise creative.

This week has been such a whirlwind. Chris and the kids got hit pretty hard last week (so, like 13 days ago) with horrific colds. Just when I thought everyone was on the mend, Chris got taken out, hard, by some sort of what I like to affectionately refer to as the 'Whatcom County Creeping Crud' or WCCC. It's sort of all the pain of the flu without the actual real-deal flu-ness. He stayed home a few days from work but thankfully, he's on the mend now but we are all looking forward to having a very low key weekend before Thanksgiving happens in just a couple weeks (yes, we're hosting!).

GMA7 to block gov't move to infuse P5B in PTV4
'Unfair,' exec cries on plan to prop up public TV
popular .
Broadcast giant GMA Network Inc. may file formal charges to block the government's move to infuse capital worth P5 billion in the state-run People's Television Network (PTV).
The government TV station plans to start selling advertising minutes in 2014.
GMA Network chair Felipe L. Gozon said PTV channel 4 should not be allowed to compete with private sector players that already pay taxes to the government.
"Part of that money being infused into PTV4 comes from the taxes we pay the government. We find that unfair," Gozon said. "If PTV4 is allowed to compete with us, that's our money funding our competitor."
Last week, President Aquino signed into law Republic Act. No. 103901, or amendments to the PTV charter under RA No. 7306, "An Act Providing for the Establishment of the People's Television Network, Incorporated, Defining Its Powers and Functions, Providing for Its Sources of Funding and for Other Purposes."
Apart from the infusion of fresh capital—to add to the P1 billion PTV4 already has—the new law gives the state broadcast company the right to make money from advertising.
Gozon strongly opposed the measure when it was proposed in Congress.
"Now that it's signed into law, we have to study if there's a way to invalidate it," said Gozon, who also heads his own law firm concurrent with his position as GMA chair.
While the state has the right to provide basic public services such as hospitals and schools, Gozon said the government should leave the media industry, which acts as the so-called "fourth estate," to private companies.

CONYERS - The Salem baseball team gave up a seven-run lead in the final two innings of Wednesday's game against Eastside and came close to sending it into extra innings until a walk-off home run by Cameron Gibson gave the Seminoles the 11-8 win.In the top of the sixth inning, the Seminoles were in control having an 8-1 lead. That was when Salem coach Chad Kitchens decided to give different players some time on the mound. After Randy Loew reached first base on a base hit and Salem got the first out, the Eagles started taking advantage of the Salem pitchers. Eastside scored six runs in the inning without another hit. Two runs were a result of walks, three came on wild pitches and one came on an infield error. "With a big lead and a nonregion game it was a good time to give other people a shot on the mound to see what they could do," Salem coach Chad Kitchens said. "I could've stayed with the No. 2 guy I brought in but I had other guys I wanted to look at, and obviously they didn't perform the way we thought they would." In the top of the seventh with two outs and a full count, Keaton Anglin ripped a line drive up the middle of the infield to plate courtesy runner Taylor Head and tie the game. "In my three years, that's the best I've seen them play from start to finish. I told them I didn't have a good feeling coming into the ball game," Eastside coach Michael Poor said. "Our bus was a half hour late, we didn't take infield (practice), it started raining on us when we got here and we get down 8-1. My first thought is here we go again." But in the bottom of the seventh with two runners on base, Gibson tagged the ball sending it over the deepest part of center field for the win. "I felt like we had our big guys coming up in the seventh. With this short field, I felt somebody would step up and do something," Kitchens said. Offensively for the Seminoles, they finished the game with nine hits including two home runs and a double. Pacing Salem at the plate were Jimmy Gerard and Gibson with two hits each. Getting the other extra-base hits were Josh Bailey (double) and Cody Davis (home run). Bobby Coggins and Travis Marks combined for nine hits, four walks and one hit batsman. "I expect our pitchers to get banged around right now. The only way they're going to learn is by facing good hitters, which is why I scheduled a very good, nonregion schedule. Those guys are bigger and stronger then us," Poor said. Cody Strange got the win for the Seminoles, pitching one-third inning in the bottom of the seventh. Even though the Eagles only had five hits, they showed a lot of patience at the plate getting eight walks while only striking out twice. "Our hitters have done an exceptional job. Young as the season is we really harped on plate discipline. When we took our hacks, we were swinging to crush the ball. We weren't fooled on any hitter's count. They're very selective, they have an idea of where they want to hit the ball," Poor said. "They're covering certain parts of the plate. It's making all the difference in the world. They've become mentally mature as hitters and I think that's going to pay off huge dividends come later in the season." Manny Fils can be reached at email@example.com.

Latino Americans - Documentary Series
LATINO AMERICANS is the first major documentary series that tells the stories of the rich history and experiences of Latinos who have helped shape the United States over the last 500-plus years. They have become, with more than 50 million people, the largest minority group in the U.S.
This three-part, six hour series is a massive undertaking, covering the history of different migrations, including Mexican Americans to the Southwest, Cubans to Florida and Puerto Ricans to New York. "The incredible diversity of Latino histories and the regional distinctions of how, when and why make it difficult to capture," said Anne Martinez, an assistant professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin. "We as a nation are not very cognizant of our history."
The films chronicle Latinos in the United States from the sixteenth century to present day. It is a story of people, politics, and culture, large in scale and deep in its reach. The changing and yet repeating context of American history provides a backdrop for the drama of individual lives. It is a story of immigration and redemption, of anguish and celebration, of the gradual construction of a new American identity that connects and empowers millions of people today.
LATINO AMERICANS features interviews with an array of individuals, including entertainer Rita Moreno, the Puerto Rican star of West Side Story and a winner of Academy, Tony, Grammy and Emmy Awards; labor leader and 2012 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Dolores Huerta, who in the 1960s co-founded with César Chávez the National Farm Workers Association, which later became United Farm Workers of America; Mexican-American author and commentator Linda Chávez, who became the highest-ranking woman in the Reagan White House; and Cuban singer and entrepreneur Gloria Estefan, who has sold more than 100 million solo and Miami Sound Machine albums globally.
LATINO AMERICANS airs on WLRN TV on Sunday, October 13, Sunday, October, 20 and Sunday, October 27 at 7 p.m.

Call to Arms: Vote for STO in the MOG Awards

I agree with you. But this poll doesn't take the work of other games into consideration (in general). What will be taken away by its conclusion is the winner and not the competition. What doesn't get the attention in voting, are the various positive efforts those other games made, perhaps moreso than the 'winner'. In general, people are voting against those games without having the knowledge about who truly earned the accolade of best, but who they wish to receive the accolade based on the game they will likely play.
This devalues it from being a competition of merit, to being a competition on image. Its data is sourced on image as shown in how it does not provide comparative information on efforts made by various games to earn each category accolade etc.
The poor reviews STO receives, is neither my doing nor my responsibility to improve. The fault, and responsibility lie with STO and STO alone.
Partially correct. While you may not go about creating a negative image of STO, you also may not do so positively. And your not expected to either ofc. However, to combat either people with an interest in seeing the game fail or succeed will take action.
Unless they want to add me to their payroll to be a positive PR person. If they want to improve their public image, it's their responsibility to do so.
All games promote themselves in a good light, or try to. What really carries weight, for anyone who actually bases their decision to play or quit on community perceptions about a game, are the views spread by the community of gamers (not necessarily a particular game's players). Which is why such potential image enhancing drives like this, ask for gamer input as opposed to a paid reviewer. Because it has greater value than pr staff.
If STO wants to be voted best game, they have to, brace yourself for a bizarre concept, EARN it. They aren't getting a sympathy vote in the hopes it will make them improve things.
We're not voting for it to be best game, we're voting for it to improve its image. And as I said, if it will not get your vote to improve its image (if you think there has been no improvements that qualify as improving STO) then don't be surprised if that image doesn't change.
People who feel strongly against something make it known in larger proportions than those who support things. By choosing to remain impartial your signing off on other people having a deciding influence on the future of a game you may enjoy but decide not to help promote.
The flip slide to your contorted logic is: if they get voted best game now, where's the incentive for them to try to improve? Why try to better your product when someone is going to vote you best regardless of what you do?
This is just for now, as the game uses its last playing card for life. I am not advocating a lifelong commitment to voting against your feelings and for something the category doesn't specify.
The incentive is for
the award for the next year, as well as
staying online
by retaining new players brought in by an enhanced image in order to give STO the chance to make the product better.
This thread asks that you vote for STO to help raise its image so that it will have better grounds to succeed. Not to vote for it based on if you think its the best game (which I already clarified as being subjective to the point of irrelevance in that poll).

Along The Way - Bobby Lamirande 2
Credit: Mind Spark Cinema
From Mind Spark Cinema,
"Along The Way is a new series from Mind Spark Cinema that brings each of the cinematographers back to their roots. Their love for capturing that special moment. Simply wanting to pick up a camera and create something to share with others. It's common to think "It's not the final destination, but the journey along the way" and that is a perfect example of experiences that just happen, and sometimes they need to documented."

Slamming a State Transport Corporation for discharging a driver from service on medical grounds in violation of law, the Madras High Court on Thursday imposed costs of Rs.50,000 on it.
Disposing of an appeal preferred by the Managing Director of the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation, Villupuram Division-III, Kancheepuram, challenging a single Judge's order, a Division Bench of Justices Elipe Dharma Rao and N. Kirubakaran, said that the appellant failed to act as per the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act. Therefore, heavy costs should be imposed on the corporation for not respecting Parliament's mandate by enacting the legislation.
"Slapping of costs would deter the authorities/officials from committing/repeating the same mistake or illegality in future. Otherwise, there is no use in passing (the) usual order of setting aside the illegal orders passed by the authorities or giving direction, without slapping costs on the erring authorities.
"Passing orders will not make them realise their mistakes or the illegalities committed. Once the order is declared as illegal and void, appropriate costs should be awarded against the authority. Moreover, departmental action is required to be taken against the erring officials," Justice N. Kirubakaran, writing the judgment for the Bench, said.
E. Humayun Sheriff of Kancheepuram stated that he was appointed as a driver in the corporation in January 1982. On May 5, 1995, when he was driving a bus from Kancheepuram to Chennai, the vehicle was hit by another transport corporation bus that was being driven rashly.
He and some passengers suffered injuries. After referring him to a medical board, the management issued a show cause notice. In spite of his explanation, he was discharged from service on July 31, 1997.
Fresh appointment
Following his representation for an alternative job, the corporation appointed him as a fresh entrant, in the position of junior clerk. He prayed for pay protection and continuity of service in the alternative employment. This was not considered.
He approached the High Court seeking a direction to the transport corporation to comply with Section 47 (Non-discrimination in government employment) of the Act. A single Judge allowed his plea. Hence, the transport corporation's appeal.
Declaring the discharge order as null and void, the Bench said the driver's rights, which were preserved and protected by the Act, had been violated by the corporation, which made him work with lesser service benefits and also drove him to approaching the High Court. The discharge of the driver from service on medical grounds in violation of the Act not only affected his fundamental right but also that of his family members.
Whenever new legislations were enacted, the higher authorities should educate and sensitise officials about the purpose and provisions of the laws.
The court said of the total costs imposed, the transport corporation should pay the driver Rs. 25,000 as litigation costs and the remaining sum to The Chief Justice Relief Fund.
