Perspectives on Change
What Academics, Consultants and Managers Really Think About Change
Series: Routledge Studies in Organizational Change & Development
Despite the plethora of books on change, there appears is a notable gap in the field; rarely is the authentic and candid voice of change practitioners heard. Seldom are those most closely involved in the management of change given (or seek) the opportunity to write about their personal experiences...

text: Progress Energy is currently in a merger bid with Charlotte based Duke Energy, which would create the largest utility in the United States."This plant runs on destroyed mountains, it spews out air pollution, it causes climate change and it poisons the water and the earth. If Duke merges with Progress, the new owners have a responsibility to the people of North Carolina to move to clean energy," said Greenpeace climate campaigner and activist Robert Gardner.The Progress Energy owned Asheville Power Station uses the most destructive form of coal mining, mountain top removal, which is flattening mountains across Appalachia. The plant produces 1,994 pounds of sulfur dioxide, 788 pounds of nitrogen oxides, and 2,629,243 tons of carbon dioxide. Its coal ash ponds are designated 'high hazard' by the EPA, meaning they are likely to kill people if they spill. Like other coal plants across the country, the plant causes death and illness in the community."Duke Energy could be playing a leadership role in the energy sector, and CEO Jim Rogers talks a good game on the environment, but the reality is vastly different. With more than $5 billion dollars worth of new coal investment on the books, Duke is clearly committed to dirty fossil fuels that poison our communities and destroy the climate," Mr Gardner said. "If Duke Energy wants to be considered a leader in the industry, they're going to have to get serious about phasing out polluting plants like this one, and make some real investments in renewable energy that will protect America's future."

Erotic Heart Mother [English, 252 pictures], by Miyabi Tsuzuru5 January 2009, by Oliver AKA The Admin
A manipulative son with a lot of imagination, a big dick and unlimited sperm supplies, believing he's the center of the universe. A newlywed stepmother who is sexually frustrated because of her almost impotent husband. An aunt sexually frustrated as well. And that lasts all along the 252 pictures. Look, must I really make a description ? You must know my opinion about the scenario of incest-based mangas
The drawings aren't bad, loaded with anal, vaginal, titfucks, oral sex, and a few threesomes. I'd have liked more detailed drawings, but keeping that quality over 252 pictures is good already
By the same artist, I also share Haha No Naku Ie.

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Lauren and Caroline Manzo Hang Out at Their New Hoboken Apartment (PHOTO)
For months, Caroline Manzo has been hinting that she's relocating from her Franklin Lakes home to an apartment in Hoboken, N.J., and now it seems like mama Manzo has finally made the move!
On Oct. 14, Caroline's daughter Lauren tweeted, "Hanging out at the Hoboken apartment with @CarolineManzo such a gorgeous day!!!"
Caroline and only daughter appear to be on a balcony, overlooking the Hudson River and New York City skyline. Not a bad view!
As far as we know, Caroline and Al have yet to sell the Franklin Lakes house, so either Lauren moved out on her own, or the Hoboken apartment is a little pied-à-terre for the Manzo family. It pays to be a housewife!
What do you think of the Hoboken view?

Why some Super Models have BAD BREATH (Halitosis)
It seems everyone is envious of those so-called Super Models. Almost every woman I know thinks that Super Models have it all. Well, that "all" may include BAD BREATH. Yes, Halitosis!
Over the past 13 years, many famous models have visited me at The California Breath Clinics. What I've learned is that when it comes to oral health they (as a group) are doing 4 things wrong:
1. They smoke: In order to keep their weight down, they have taken up smoking. Smoking kills the taste buds, and indirectly kills appetite. It also makes the mouth very dry, and for those of you who have visited www.therabreath.com, you know that dry mouth quickly leads to bad breath. For research on dry mouth: http://www.therabreath.com/art_drymouth.asp
2. They drink alcohol. A model's life is hard work – and then party, party, party (Well that's what they tell me). Alcohol makes your mouth dry instantly and (again) dry mouth leads to bad breath because a dry mouth creates an "anaerobic" friendly enviroment perfect for the bugs that creat bad breath (and gum disease too). Note: There is more alcohol in commercial mouthwash formulas than an entire 6 pack of beer, so be careful when you choose your source of alcohol.
3. Lots of Stress and little sleep. Studies show that Stress leads to bad breath. Stress leads to a dry mouth because that's how our sympathetic nervous system works (The fight or flight phenomenon).
4. One common "bad habit" of models (and probably the easiest to overcome) is SKIPPING Breakfast. By skipping breakfast, you can extend your morning breath until you finally eat something. Here's why: When you sleep your brain knows that you will not be eating. Consequently, your brain turns down saliva production. Since saliva contains a high concentration of oxygen (acting as a natural enemy of anaerobic bacteria), a lack of saliva will create an environment beneficial to the anaerobic sulfur producing bacteria at the core of bad breath (and gum disease too). But, as soon as you put something in your mouth in the morning, your salivary glands kick in and provide oxygen-rich saliva to eliminate morning breath.
How I helped super models to have everything (including fresh breath):
1. Told them to eat "something" when they wake up. You don't need much to kick start saliva production.
2. Stop smoking and cut down on drinking alcohol (I'm a realist). Hint: If you do have an adult beverage, you can dilute the dry mouth affect of the booze, by sipping some water immediately afterwards.
3. All of these models now use TheraBreath formulas – TheraBreath Mouthwash and Toothpaste as their basic oral hygiene regimen. http://www.therabreath.com/productdetail.asp?cat=1&pid=104.
When their mouth becomes dry after a long day, they suck on some ZOX lozenges: http://www.therabreath.com/art_breathmint.asp
They all know to drink 6-8 glasses of water daily, but with oxygen-rich TheraBreath formulas, they're now able to fight the anaerobic bacteria.

Pieces of wood and bricks surround a destroyed house following a tornado in the village of Osia July 15, 2012. A freak wave of tornadoes ripped through northern Poland on Sunday. (REUTERS/Rafal Malko/Agencja Gazeta)
WARSAW, Poland: A freak wave of summer tornadoes has struck northern and western Poland, killing at least one person and injuring another 10 people.
An area around Bory Tucholskie forest, a national park and popular tourist destination, was hit by a twister between 800 and 1,000 meters (875-1,100 yards) wide. More than 400 hectares (nearly 1,000 acres) of woodland were flattened in the area, authorities said, and more than 100 houses destroyed.
Power lines were downed and roads were closed as hundreds of firefighters worked to clear away fallen trees. Some trains had to make detours after debris fell onto tracks.
Firefighter Mieczyslaw Torlop told the TVN station that one man was killed in the village of Wycinki after being crushed by his house, which collapsed.

Week in review: Chasing iPhone
- Related Stories
Week in review: Apple thinks differently about iPhoneOctober 19, 2007
Week in review: Download dilemmaOctober 12, 2007
Week in review: Where's the Apple iKiller?October 5, 2007
Apple reported its most successful quarter this week, exceeding estimates in just about every facet of its business. For the company's fourth fiscal quarter, the company reported revenue of $6.22 billion and profit of $904 million; analysts had expected Apple to report revenue of $6.1 billion.
Apple has sold 1.39 million iPhones, and 1.1 million during the quarter, the company reported. Mac shipments were up 34 percent, compared to last year, and iPod shipments were up 17 percent.
Apple is gaining share on the rest of the PC industry. Last week, IDC and Gartner had the worldwide PC market growing at about 15 percent, while Mac shipments are growing more than twice as fast.
The announcement lit up CNET News.com's message boards, with many readers debating the value of the Apple's market share versus other companies. But more than one reader expects the holiday shopping season to bring good tidings to Apple.
"With the reduced price, sexiness and shear functionality (not even including the coming 3rd party apps!) of the iPhone and the new iPods, Apple should have a blowout holiday season," wrote one reader to News.com's TalkBack forum.
Meanwhile, the hunt for the Google phone is a lot like hunting for Bigfoot. Rumors of a Google phone, or "Gphone," have circulated since late 2004 and hit a fever pitch over the last few months.
There was speculation that Google might drop some hints at its analyst day this week, but until now, Google executives and representatives have refused to comment, or even confirm, if Gphone is the name of a product many believe the search giant to be working on.
Often, where there's smoke, there's fire. And what do the smoke signals--and Google patents--say? Unlike Apple's iPhone, the Gphone probably won't be an actual hardware device. Instead, it's more likely to be a bundle of software and supporting infrastructure that allows a phone manufactured by someone else to access Google services, experts say.
But Google executives weren't budging on the Gphone topic.
"I'm on the board of Apple. I'm using the iPhone," said CEO Eric Schmidt, holding up his phone to show reporters. "We have a policy of not talking about future products."
And it doesn't appear that Microsoft will be taking direct aim at the iPhone anytime soon. Rather, the software maker is playing to its strengths, announcing a new piece of server software to help businesses manage a company's worth of smartphones.
Right now, Microsoft is focusing on its enterprise strengths. The company is announcing a new product, known as System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008, and noting that it is providing start-up funds for Enterprise Mobile, a new Boston-based service provider that will help companies manage the process of doling out smartphones to large workforces.
The new software allows businesses to push out software updates to phones over the air and also provides a VPN system for Windows Mobile devices to get secure access to corporate data, something that in the past has typically required third-party software. But even that product is some months away.
Face time for Microsoft
Microsoft may be playing catch-up in the mobile market, but it certainly got the jump on the competition in the social-networking space. Microsoft is taking a $240 million equity stake in Facebook during its next round of financing, valuing the company at a whopping $15 billion. The final deal resulted in a 1.6 percent stake in the social-networking company, notably smaller than the 5 percent to 10 percent stake that had been talked about in recent weeks.
Under the terms of the new agreement, Microsoft will be the exclusive third-party advertising partner for the Palo Alto, Calif.-based social-networking site, and the Microsoft ads will expand beyond the United States to Facebook's international presence. So far, the advertising deal does not appear to have expanded beyond its current 2011 expiration date.
Microsoft is apparently doing well right now without being a dominant player in the mobile market. Like Apple, the software giant had a blowout quarter, reporting a strong jump in first-quarter revenue and earnings as the company benefited from Windows Vista and the launch of the Halo 3 video game. The software maker said it took in $4.29 billion in profits on revenue of $13.76 billion.
As for Vista, the company said it saw double-digit growth in multiyear agreements by businesses and saw "the vast majority" of consumers opting for a premium version of the operating system. Microsoft also saw particularly strong results in the Windows client business, where revenue grew 25 percent in the quarter. And it sold 1.8 million Xbox 360 consoles in the quarter.
But Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer clearly sees big opportunities in the mobile-software market. As millions of consumers acquire cell phones, and as cell phones become more capable, it's a natural extension of Microsoft's core business of selling PC operating systems and applications.

- AT&T hotspots not open to iPhone
- I was reminded of this yesterday while shopping at Barnes & Noble, an AT&T hotspot site. Considering the deficiency of Edge when used for data, AT&T should open its nationwide array of Wi-Fi sites to some of its best customers -- iPhone owners. Rather than pay $10 to use the AT&T hotspot for a lunch break at Barnes & Noble, I chose not to use my iPhone for data. That must occur thousands of times each day, disgruntling many a customer.
At this point, I think that the idea of city provided Wi-Fi in the United States must be declared a failure. Most projects never got off the ground. Of those that did, many are inadequate. For example, Metro-Fi's signals are too weak to be useful and often require the purchase of booster antennas costing more than $100 and $20 per month for premium service. That is not free Wi-Fi.

If that isn?t the most expensive phone in the world and it does
not even appeal to business customers because it doesn?t even
have a keboard, which makes it not a very good e-mail
machine! It may sell well or not, I don?t know, but we have our
plan and I like it very much. We have great windows mobile
devices in the market today. We have the Motorola phone for
just $99, it will play pong, it will do e-mail, do internet, ?..
I like our strategy I like it a lot!

Billy Crystal first gained success on the 1970's sitcom Soap and Saturday Night Live, before becoming a success in film with movies like When Harry Met Sally…, the City Slickers movies, Analyze This and its sequel Analyze That. He's also been host of the Academy Awards telecasts nine times, making him the second frequent host next to Bob Hope.
Now the 64 year-old returns for his first live-action starring film role in ten years with the family comedy as out-of-touch grandfather Artie Decker in the family comedy Parental Guidance. Not only does Crystal star in the film, but produce it as well. He talks about the experience.
"I've done that several times," Billy says, "But this time I particularly loved because it came from a real experience with my grandchildren. Having them alone for the first time for six or seven days and going, 'Wow, this is exhausting,' because when you're not around little ones for a long time, you forget about how much work that is. So I came in and started writing the story that became this movie."
Billy talks about the difficulty of making a family movie that equally appeals to children, as well as adults.
"What we had was a really well-written, well-conceived piece from the beginning where we thought this was a multi-generational movie from the beginning," Crystal says, "When we had the girls, my daughter Jenny gave us like a Bible from my daughter of, 'Don't feed them this; don't feed them that, if she says this, don't say that,' It was crazy! So when it was emerging, we said, 'There really is something for everybody.'"
"And when it's cast, and you have such wonderful talented people," he continues, "And a terrific director who really had his eye on the ball with it, then you realize that at screenings, everyone is liking this. And it's hard, but for this one, it was just the way it was. It really was just telling the truth about all the people."
Teaming up with Crystal to play Artie's wife Diane is Bette Midler. He talks about working with The Divine Miss M.
"It's a weird thing, because we'd get that from a lot of people, didn't you?" he says, "Shouldn't you? Why? So the timing was just perfect. I can speak for both of us, we had a really great time, everybody did."
"But for us, for where we are and where we've been, it was very special for both of us," Billy adds, "We knew each other. And we'd spent some time together, but nothing like palling, except one night we watched the Oscars together, and it was really fun. And we always laughed. And I always came away thinking 'I'd like to see her more,' you know. And then when it was ready to be cast, we thought, Bette. So we called her."
Billy talks about how Marisa Tomei came to be involved with the film as Artie's daughter Alice.
"Marisa came to read with me to play my wife in Mr. Saturday Night back in 1991 and she was so great, but at the time she was just too young for the piece," Crystal recalls, "And I called her agent and said, 'Listen, she's not gonna get this, but she is amazing. And sometime, I hope I am able to work with her.' Well, the next year she wins the Oscar, and didn't need me at all. And then when she came for this, we said, 'You should play this.'" And it just felt perfect."
Crystal talks about how the decision was made for the characters to break into song and dance.
"Well, I was pushing for it," he recalls, "It was really fun because we were in the middle of this tornado watch, and we had this piano player because we had to do the scene the next day. So, I thought I would just sing to myself, I sang 'Trouble' from The Music Man! I haven't done that since high school. And the whole crew was singing it. It was so much fun! But Bette and I would sing for the kids to keep them occupied sometimes, because they are kids. So one day we were shooting on a train and there was a lot of echo."
"And we just started singing these old rock and roll songs – 'Charlie Brown,' 'Yakety Yak' and 'Poison Ivy,'" Billy adds, "And then 'Beaucoup Love' came up and we said, "We should find a place to do this in the movie." And it worked out pretty well, because we tied it with Marisa's character that this is a song we sang to her, we would travel in the country, so it made sense. And I was more nervous about singing than Bette, because I get to sing with her. Hey, man, this is the goods."
Billy talks about the films that he enjoyed seeing with his own parents and with his own children and grandchildren.
"Since I was a kid, every Thanksgiving growing up in New York, we always watched March of the Wooden Soldiers by Laurel and Hardy, we'd never miss it." Crystal says, "Got a great laserdisc of it, and then, now I've got a great print of it."
"And we still show it," he continues, "It's such a great, fun, crazy 75 year-old movie, maybe even older. And now the little ones watch it with us, and they love Wally Bean and Stanley Dove, and the music of it. And it's so ancient looking and it's so charming, so we keep that going."
Crystal, an avid baseball fan, talks about how he got former pitcher Ralph Branca to make an appearance in Parental Guidance.
"I bumped into Ralph," he recalls, "I did an interview with Bob Costas for The MLB Network and Ralph happened to be in the building. And it's a wonderful piece in the movie for us, the shot around the world, and he was there and I went, 'Ralph, would you want to do this? We'll get you down to Atlanta, here's the story,.' And he goes, 'I have to hear that from a seven year-old?'"
"And for those who know him, it's a delicious little thing," Billy adds, "And for those who don't, he's still terrific, but for those of us who love baseball and characters, he's a wonderful guy to have on set and it meant a great deal to him, because it was not one of his favorite days. He's 87 years old now and totally charming."
Billy talks about what he hopes most for people to get out of the film.
"Exactly what you got out of it," Crystal replies, "It's a surprising movie. It's really funny and it promises to be something, and then, it delivers something along with it. And I think once we had the script done, we went, there is something really special about this. It's not just a family movie in the thinnest sense of the word."
"It's a full meal and people come away like, I didn't think I was going to be blown away like I just was, on different levels," he continues, "It's not just what we call 'the kid speech', but it's our relationship and our relationship and the things that tie parents to their kids and to their grandchildren. So I think it is a family movie in that way."
Crystal talks about his take on the movie's idea that perhaps child-rearing by parents has softened too much.
"Those are all real things that I experienced, not when my girls were growing up," Billy says, "But with the, I'm trying not to step into something and get a call, 'Dad why'd you say that?' But we'd go to games where score wasn't kept, and I'd get it, but I wouldn't get it, because I think there's a real value in winners and losers, in not everybody getting a trophy, it makes you work hard, you appreciate what it takes, to say, 'Why didn't we win?'"
"You shouldn't be condemned for losing, but I think it's what it already says in movies, it's like life," he adds, "It is competition. I think it helps to learn that, right from the beginning, that not everyone's going to be equal, you're not going to be as good as everybody, but you can out-work them, you can out-hustle them. You can outthink them. I think it's a real value, those things. I think we can be a bit too touchy-feely with with sometimes the way I observe, not my kids."
Billy talks about why he believes Parental Guidance is of a higher caliber than most family films of the last twenty years.
"I think the reason the movie touches on a lot of good things, the writing of the movie was twofold," Crystal contends, "The original writers and the ones credited with the screenplay, who did a great job, Lisa Dario and Joe Syracuse, are young parents. So they had, at the time, they were five and seven, when we started, they are 22 and 19 now, it seems like a long time it took to get this movie done."
"So they put in the great stuff, the cool toolbox and the red voice and the blue, that was all their stuff," he continues, "Then, as we got closer, we got a wonderful polish by Lowell Ganz and Bobaloo Mandel, who I'm very fluent in with City Slickers, Parenthood, Splash!, and they're grandparents, so now we had common ground of what to talk about and how to make us feel more relavent in the story, so I think that's why it ties together really well."

Lady Hilltoppers shut out Chase, 7-0
Behind a first-half hat trick from freshman Emily Wilson, the R-S Central Lady Hilltoppers blanked the Chase Trojans, 7 -0, Thursday night at Chase.
Leah King kicked off the scoring frenzy for Central in the fifth minute with a long-rage shot from 15 yards out that found the back of the net.
Chase had trouble maintaining possessions as the ball stayed of the Trojan half of the field for much of the first half.
Wilson's first goal came on a breakaway that left her one-on-one with the Chase goalie. Wilson's right-footed shot from Wilson rolled into the left side of the Trojan goal giving Central a 2-0 lead just 17 minutes into the game.
Wilson scored her second of the night just a few minutes later benefiting from a fight for the ball in front of the Chase goal as she knocked it into the net.
The third of Wilson's goals was gift-wrapped in the 29th minute when an Emily McLaughlin cross from the right side found its way through two Chase defenders and another Hilltopper before Wilson bounced a shot off the bottom of the crossbar and into the goal putting Central on top, 4-0.
Karsyn Kearns capped the Central scoring in the first half in the 36th minute taking advantage of a defensive hiccup by Chase by scoring from eight yards out. Central took a 5-0 lead into halftime.
"I thought Chase played harder than we did in the first half despite the five goals," Rumfelt said. "We had a few goals handed to us."
Chase made a switch a halftime putting Harley Cline between the pipes at goal replacing Bailey Campfield. However, McLaughlin finally got a shot to go into the net in the 51st minute on an assist from Taylor Williamson.
"They did a good job keying in on McLaughlin tonight and really beat her up some," Rumfelt said. "She did a good job controlling her emotions."
Williamson finished a strong half by scoring the final goal of the night in the 75th minute to account for the 7-0 final.
"Wison, Kearns and Williamson are a great set of freshman," Rumfelt said. "I really trust the ball in their hands."
"Our biggest problem now is a lack of communication," Chase head coach Scott Hopper said after the loss. "They are all so new to each other so they don't have that communication yet..we're expecting improvement but we still have a lot to do."
"I'm not satisfied with this because this isn't good enough to beat some other teams," Rumfelt said. "We missed some good shots in the second half. We need those in close games."
Central returns to action Saturday against Kings Mountain at Burn High School in Lawndale for a 2 p.m. start while the Trojans look ahead to their next match on Tuesday against Burns at 6 p.m.

Homelessness prevention for women and children who have experienced domestic and family violence: innovations in policy and practice
AHURI Positioning Paper 140, Swinburne-Monash Research Centre, June 2011
The purpose of this research project is to explore the value and challenges of innovative staying at home homelessness prevention measures, such as Staying Home Leaving Violence schemes in Australia, and Sanctuary schemes in England and Wales.
Staying Home Leaving Violence and Sanctuary schemes are designed to combine judicial, housing and welfare measures in a coordinated manner in order to enable women and children to remain in their homes safely, and for the perpetrator to be removed and deterred from returning.
This paper is the first stage of the research project and provides a desk-based review of existing relevant literature. It investigates and assesses innovations in policy and practice to prevent homelessness among women and children who have experienced domestic and family violence.
A prevention-centered approach to homelessness assistance: a paradigm shift?
Dennis P. Culhane, Stephen Metraux, and Thomas Byrne. University of Pennsylvania. May 2011
This paper explores the conceptual underpinnings of successful prevention initiatives and reviews practice-based evidence from several successful prevention-oriented approaches to homelessness in the United States and Europe. The authors (Dennis Culhane, Stephen Metraux and Thomas Byrne) then outline a conceptual framework for a transformation of homeless assistance towards prevention-oriented approaches, with a discussion of relevant issues of program design and practice, data collection standards, and program performance monitoring and evaluation.
Definition of homelessness changes but problems remain
James Farrell, Director of the Council to Homeless Persons (Vic), looks at the recent change in the definition of homelessness and discusses its implications in this article from The Conversation.
Farrell is hopeful the Australian Bureau of Statistics' (ABS) revised definition of homelessness will give a clearer understanding of the crisis in Australia.
The edges of home ownership
The edges of home ownership are usually examined in terms of entry (affordability), sustainability (risk of exit through financial stress), and utility (retirees trading-out for asset-based welfare). However, this research shows there is considerable 'churn' at the edges of home ownership in all age groups. Patterns and policy implications are explored in this project.
Housing assistance in Australia 2013
This report looks at trends in housing and housing assistance provided by governments in Australia in terms social housing and financial assistance in 2012-13. The report explores the various types of housing assistance provided to low-income households and special needs groups including first home buyers, Indigenous Australians, young and older Australians, people with disability, and those who are homeless.

In this famous essay, now widely available for the first time in English translation, Weil challenges the foundation of the modern liberal political order and proposes that politics can only begin where the party spirit comes to an end. The volume also includes a portrait of Weil by the Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz and an essay about Weil's friendship with Albert Camus by Simon Leys.
These essays do more than prove the permanent relevance of Homer's great poem. They analyze the logic of war itself, and explore how intoxicating violence defines the human condition.

For centuries, opera has championed the long-ago and far-away as one form of musical storytelling. What if we found a way for opera to celebrate the here and now, to explore stories of our time and our place?
Join us for an adventure in community storytelling through Seattle Opera's Belonging(s) project - an exploration of the stories of your most precious possessions.
When an opera company commissions a new work, it usually begins and ends with the composer and librettist. This time we're taking a different approach: we started with your story and the stories of your friends, your neighbors and others you pass by on the street. Belonging(s) began with an online repository of videos-a digital quilt created by you, your friends, and the people you pass on the street-that tell stories of our most precious possessions: those objects or memories that help us understand our lives, our relationships, and our legacies.
Think about this: if you had to leave your home today, and couldn't return, what would you want to take with you? Why is that object, that memory, or that connection to your past so important?
We commissioned librettist Jessica Murphy Moo and composer Jack Perla to weave selected stories into a new opera. The WWII stories of two women in Seattle, one Japanese-American and the other German-American, inspired the fictional tale of two families in this soon-to-be-named work.
Your new opera is now complete, but we need your help to bring it to life.
Jack Perla, Composer
Composer and pianist Jack Perla creates new musical works for stage and recording, using a palette that includes symphonic, operatic, choral & chamber music, as well as multiple jazz idioms. Jack has completed commissions for Houston Grand Opera and LA Opera, and premiered his comic opera Love/Hate with San Francisco Opera. He is currently working on a commission for Opera Theatre of Saint Louis.
Jessica Murphy Moo, Librettist
Jessica Murphy Moo is a writer, teacher and editor. Her fiction has appeared in The Atlantic, Image, and Memorious. Her nonfiction has appeared in Poets & Writers Magazine and The Atlantic Online, among other publications. She has held teaching positions at Emerson College, Harvard University, Boston University, and Seattle Pacific University, and she now teaches for an online writing workshop organization based in the Seattle area.

...the TV SHOWS! except not by a spambot thread!
What do you guys like watching? I'm an adult swim freak and a huge Tim and Eric freak, I have all 5 of their seasons of Awesome Show and the special, both seasons of Tom Goes to the Mayor, the one season of Check it Out!, and extras on my ipod.
My fave shows include;
Tim & Eric
Tom Goes to the Mayor
Family Guy
Later Aqua Teen Hunger Force
90's Nickelodeon
Invader Zim
The Soup
Whose Line is it, Anyway
Geek out time:
I really love Whose Line, I love the relationship that the contestants have with Drew Carrey. I remember one scene where someone had to do an impression of Drew, and he went; "BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ, I THINK I'M SO COOL, BUZZ BUZZ, I THINK I'M IMPORTANT, BUZZ BUZZ, I'M EXTREMELY ARROGANT" etc.
The robo-sitter episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, the ending scene, Carl's house is completely burnt down to the ground.
Meatwad: "...so it's either 'definitely play with matches,' or 'definitely do not play with matches.'
Carl: "It's definitely either one, or the other."
Meatwad: "Which one do you think it is, Carl?" XD
Re: ...the TV SHOWS! except not by a spambot thread!
I like Modern Family, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, and the new TV show Revenge is pretty good so far.

Cody Green connected with Keyarris Garrett for three touchdown passes Saturday and Tulsa held on to beat UCF 23-21 in a battle of Conference USA division leaders. The win sealed the West Division title for Tulsa (9-2, 7-0) and gives the Golden Hurricane the upper hand for home-field advantage for the championship game Dec. 1. Trey Watts ran for 122 yards for Tulsa, and Green finished with 252 yards passing, going 21 for 34 with an interception. The three scoring passes to Garrett went for 70, 20 and 13 yards - the last one making it 23-14 Golden Hurricane with 5:11 left in the third quarter. UCF (8-3, 6-1) came within two points on Latavius Murray's 2-yard run with 9:01 to play, but Tulsa ran nearly seven minutes off the clock and the Knights never got another first down. Blake Bortles was 13 of 31 for 169 yards and a TD for UCF, but was sacked four times.

Lighting and Rendering with mental ray in Maya with Eric Keller shows how to master practical mental ray techniques for rendering models created in Maya. This course walks through the most efficient and innovative mental ray techniques, including direct versus indirect lighting methods, creating different types of shadows, using the new ShadowMap camera, and reusing shadow and final gathering maps. A chapter on optimizing render times and enhancing render quality is also included. Exercise files are included with the course.
Image-based lighting, or IBL, refers to the technique of using an image or a photograph to light the elements of a Maya scene. And this is used to most often to match CG Elements with live footage. The image used to create image-based lighting could be a photograph taken on a particular set that's then used to light CG elements, and then these are more easily blended in with the live action footage taken on the set. So it's a fairly common technique. Setting this up in Maya is actually fairly straightforward.
I have a simple scene here with my little monster toy. And I just have a couple of spheres here, which are just going to sort of hope to show off how the lighting works. So the first thing I'm going to do is go to the Window > Rendering Editors > Render Settings window. In the Indirect Lighting tab, I'll just click on this. You'll see, under Environment, I have two options here: Image Based Lighting and Physical Sun and Sky. In this case, I just need Image Based Lighting. So if I press the Create button, it will actually set up the entire network for me.
So I'm going to do that now. Just press Create. There we go. And we can see that a new mentalrayIbl1 node has been added to the scene. Here it is, and the Attribute Editor has opened up to the Shape tab of this node, mentalrayIbLShape1 is right here. So these are the attributes to set up the lighting. So the first thing I need is an image to map to this environment. I'm going to switch to the Perspective view, just so we can see what's going on here a little bit easier. You see how there is a sphere added to the scene here, and this sphere is used to map the image for the lighting.
So when I add an image here in Attribute Editor, this image is going to be mapped to this sphere. The image I'm going to use is known as a high-dynamic range image. And in a nutshell, what that means is that the image data actually contains a wider set of values beyond what can be displayed on a computer screen. And this is what allows the image based lighting to work effectively. Since we have values that go beyond essentially what the computer sees as 100%, then these values can help light the objects.
So I'm going to grab my image and just by clicking in the folder here next to Image Name. And the images are stored in the sourceimages directory of the current project. So I'm going to select sky1.hdr so this is the HDR format. And it maps to right here, and you can see immediately that the image has been mapped to the sphere. So we can see it in the background there are some clouds, bright sunlight, and a ground plane. So this is our HDR image.
So I'll switch to the renderCam Camera. If you're going to use your own HDR images to achieve this, you should know ahead of time how it's mapped, if it's either Spherical or Angular. I just know that this particular HDR image is spherical. You can purchase HDR images from a number of vendors, or you can also find these online, especially if you do a web search for 'HDR' or 'light probe.' If you use those search terms, you'll find a number of sites that allow you to download these for free.
So you can test these out in your scene, but when you download them, make sure you find out whether the mapping is spherical or angular. And you can also try just experimenting, see which setting works better. But now I have this mapped to Image Name. I'm going to go to my Render Settings again. I'm going to use Final Gathering as a way to create the Indirect Lighting. So I'll go of the Final Gathering section of the Indirect Lighting tab, and I'll turn this on. I'm going to increase my Secondary Diffuse Bounces. I'll just type in 1 here, and just to make sure that this looks fairly nice, I'll set the Accuracy up to 400.
And now I'll create a render and see how it comes up. One thing that I'd like to check - this is very important - always double-check to make sure your default light is off. Go to the Common tab, scroll down under Render Options, make sure Enable Default Light is off because I have no other lights in the scene. There is no other lights. This is just the image that is creating all the lighting in the scene. So I want to ensure that this is off because otherwise this will interfere with our render. So now that I have that set, I'll press the Render Current Frame button, and we'll see what we get.
So here's the lighting in our scene. You can see the image in the background of the render. We can also see clearly reflected on the chrome sphere, but you can see all of this lighting is created by the image alone. What's nice about using this technique is you can dramatically change the lighting depending on what image you have. So if you have an HDR of an area of sunset, or as opposed to something in midday, you're going to get different lighting effects. But there is a couple things I'd like to do to just to quickly improve the way this image looks. So I'm going to store this.
And the first thing I'd like to do is turn off the visibility of the IBL of the Image Based Lighting sphere in the background. So I'll select it, open its Attribute Editor to the IblShape1 tab, scroll down to Render Stats, and turn off Primary Visibility. I'll leave the other ones on, so it's Visible In Secondary Reflections, and Refractions, and also In Final Gathering. So I'm just turning that off. Let's do another quick Render and compare that.
I'm going to stop this render really quick, just to demonstrate one thing. You see the blue color here in the background? That is being created because I have a color value in my renderCam Camera. So I'll just go down to the Environments tab and turn this to black. So I know that that's not affecting the colors of the render either. So let's try that again. So we can see that the image-based lighting now is basically lighting the scene. And the colors of the image itself are affecting the way the colors in the scene look.
One last thing I'd like to do is add a direct light source to complete the lighting in the scene. So I'm going to add a directionalLight to represent sunlight. So I just created the directionalLight by clicking on this directionalLight icon on the Rendering Shelf. And I'm going to open up the Attribute Editor to the directionalLightShape1 tab and activate Ray Trace Shadow. So I'm opening the Shadows section and turning on Ray Trace Shadows. And then I'm going to switch to the Perspective view because I know that I have some sunlight here in my IBL.
I want to move the directionalLight, so I just want to move this and scale it and just see if I can turn and quickly match the orientation of the sunlight. So if I get the camera here, so I'm facing that bright ball of sunlight, then if I rotate it so that the light is looking directly at me, theoretically, my direct light should match the light in the IBL. So I'll give that a try and see how that looks. Let's switch to the renderCam Camera and do another render, and there we go.
Now we're own our way to creating some realistic lighting. Of course, you can also select the mentalrayIbl node and rotate it to change the orientation of the light. So if I wanted them coming from a different direction, switch to Perspective view. And maybe, the lights coming from the Front now, once again, the same thing. I'll rotate this one. You can see the spot on the image where the sun is supposed to be, rotate this, so that this is pointing at me, and switch to the renderCam Camera and do another render.
For about five minutes worth of work, it's not looking too bad. We're on our way to creating something that looks fairly nice. One thing I'd like to point out: You'll notice that down here under Light Emission, I actually don't have Emit Light turned on, but you can use the IBL image to actually Emit Light. When you turn this on, you're essentially telling mental ray to sort of create a light for all of the pixels in the image, or create a light that can cover as much as it can of each pixel in the image. And it's just another way to have the IBL node emit light in the scene.
Right now, I'm having the directionalLight, which is casting direct light. In the IBL, the image-based lighting is creating indirectLighting because its values are influencing the Final Gathering points, how Final Gathering is calculated in the scene. So without having to turn on Emit Light, this is already creating lighting in the scene, because it's being combined with the power of Final Gathering. So there are the basics of using image-based lighting in a Maya scene.
There are currently no FAQs about Lighting and Rendering with mental ray in Maya.

Stig drives 1,100bhp Zenvo
The Danes: excellent pastry bakers. Talented pig smokers. But are they any a good at making 7.0-litre V8 supercars with 1,104bhp? TopGear is the first to find out with a world-exclusive drive of the bonkers Zenvo ST1
Posted: 09 Nov 2010
So really, the Zenvo should suck. That it doesn't is down to the ingenuity of co-founders Jesper Jensen, Troels Vollertsen and Lasse Stenkilde. Vollertsen is the engineering brains of the operation, a motorsport specialist with a track record in saloon car racing, rallying and rallycross. He's also a tuner with a strong reputation and client base in the Middle East. Jensen is an IT genius and entrepreneur, who sold his company at the right time and made some money. Vollertsen had already squeezed 640bhp from Jensen's AMG Merc CLS 55, and went to work persuading him to collaborate on his dream of building a sports car.
"I said to Jesper, 'You've sold your company, so why not do something funny like build your own car?' He replied, 'Come on, we'll never be able to do that.' Pagani and Koenigsegg have done it, I told him, so why not? Though we never thought we'd end up in this league when we started out..."

OOTD: Lacie
June 10, 2012
♥ Dress (worn as top): Dunnes *** Skirt/Belt: New Look *** Kimono Cardigan: New Look *** Bracelets: Primark ♥
Before I started losing weight I took pictures of a couple of OOTD's that I never posted, because I wanted to have something to post during the time when I am losing weight and my clothes aren't fitting how they should! So this entry (and the next couple of OOTD's) will actually be outfits I planned in advance but am wearing on the day I post them. I hope that doesn't sound too confusing, because I am rather awful at trying to explain things!
It feels kind of crazy to be wearing chunky knit cardigans in mid June, but the weather here is so unpredictable most of the time and layering is definitely the way to go! The "top" in this outfit is actually a bodycon lace dress but I think it works great under skirts too. The material isn't too thick so it doesn't really feel like i'm wearing a dress underneath! Unfortunately the belt that came with the skirt was far too small for me, as you can see in the pictures! I couldn't find my favorite brown belt at the time so just used this one for the pictures (thankfully I have since found it and am wearing it with the outfit today!) I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but whenever I buy a skirt that comes with a belt, the belt never fits! The skirt will fit perfect but the belt needs some extra inches.
A little bit of shameless self promotion but I have quite a few listings ending on eBay in a couple of hours, mostly new or gently used items. There's a lot of things that I have worn on my blog before so if anyone is interested you can view my listings by clicking here. Quite a few end in about four hours but some end tomorrow too!

Homemade Pasta: Lovers Pistachio Pasta, Pumpkin Ravioli, and Whole Wheat Hazelnut
We are in our third week of homemade pastas with our video about how to make Pistachio Lovers Pasta. Homemade pasta might not be the first dish that comes to mind around the holidays, but we thought it would be something different. When you have something so tasty as pistachio pasta dough or whole wheat hazelnut dough, you do not need to over do the topping. Melted butter or olive oil, some sage, and Parmesan cheese is enough. It is the fact that it is homemade and rustic that makes it appropriate for special family dinners.
Now that we are edging out of the holidays and well into the depths of Winter, there is no reason why you can't still make a homemade pasta dish. During these hard economic times, we will all be eating more at home, which is actually an opportunity to be more creative in the kitchen. I hope to hear back from people with suggestions for what to top our Pistachio Lovers Pasta with (meant to be for pistachio lovers or pistachio "lovers pasta", get it?). In our video you can see me cutting across the length of the rolled out dough with a knife, but I found a helpful suggestion from Sugarlaws. She rolls the dough into a spiral and then slices through with a sharp knife. This is better way to do it, so that you get nice, even pieces of pasta.
I also love pasta. And to me, nothing compares to the taste of a homemade pasta recipe. - Barbara Wyer

The Oklahoma Child Support Services office in Poteau donated 160 books to the Kibois Head Start Program as part of Read Across America Day.
The office collected the books during a week-long community book drive ending on March 1, Read Across America Day.
Read Across America Day is the nation's largest celebration of reading, with more than 45 million participating to highlight the importance of developing a love of reading from an early age. Held each year on March 1, the day coincides with the birthday of beloved children's author, Dr. Seuss.
"When I heard about Read Across America Day, I knew it was something our office would want to do," said Amanda Tucker, Oklahoma Child Support Services program manager for the Poteau office. "This is our community, and working for the well-being of children is at the core of our work."
Vicki Hamel, OCSS managing attorney for the Poteau office, agreed.
"In everything we do as child support professionals, our goal is to promote healthy families," said Hamel. "Developing a love for reading can become a cornerstone for all sorts of educational opportunity, and education is the key to healthy families."

Wendy posts a concert location hint
The news is coming-- very very soon. Maybe as early as July 6th maybe as late at July 14th but it's going to be public news any time now.
A few years ago we gave away clues in the members only portion of the Farm Aid website, the FarmYard. So, I thought it might be fun to do it again. The only good thing to know is that I won't confirm or deny any guesses in the comments!
The state where we are going has 3 top crops- sweet corn, peaches and blueberries.

I'm Xcited to know where the 2006 Farm Aid Concert will B!!! After reading the clue given, I felt that PEACHES could B a dead give away 4 GEORGIA. I hope that I am correct as it is close to where I currently reside!!! Kathy Colby a.k.a.SHAKEY to my friends online. I wish the best of luck in your efforts to save local family farms so that we can enjoy wholesome, healthy, fresh produce from local markets. I just moved from the country to the city and surprisingly, the produce is fresher in the city. The country scene has monopolized the produce industry and the foods available are less than desirable. It offended me Bcause the local farmers in the area grow awesome fresh fruits and vegetables but, the local stores refuse to carry them. It is an absolute slap in the face to the community that this is allowed to continue.ReplyDelete

Dancing With The Stars
Kendra Wilkinson Happy To Leave DWTS For Motherhood
To be honest, we thought Kendra Wilkinson was going to leave Dancing With the Stars Season 12 after her Week 4 Viennese Waltz spat with judge Carrie Ann Inaba. But she kept dancing and dancing until finally she was eliminated on Week 7, right when we expected her to stay.
Kendra is glad to be leaving now, after a pretty good Tango, rather than a few weeks ago when she was DWTS Enemy Number 1.
"I'm happy. I mean, there was no reason to cry tonight," Kendra told E! after Tuesday's Results Show. "I'm happy because I get to be a mom again."
She said she was thankful for being on the show and being partnered with patient Louis van Amstel. "He never gave up," Kendra told E! "I am so thankful that we ended this way and not the Viennese Waltz way."
And now she doesn't have to listen to judge Len Goodman talk about her boobs anymore! However, Louis did chide Kendra for her goodbye dance, where she blew off her elegant ballroom teachings in favor of her usual "Go Kendra" booty shaking. "The stripper moves were coming out," Louis said with a sigh.
Stick with your strengths, Kendra!

Open Daily Beginning
August 20
9am to 6pm
Pick-your-own Apples
will not be available this year due to extreme weather this spring.
Thank you for your understanding.
88 Years of Apple History in the making...
In 1964, the orchard on the corner of J&K was purchased by John J. and Katherine McIlquham.
John J. and Katherine, along with their three children, made this orchard their home. It was
operated as "J&K Orchard" until the purchase of the OO orchard from Grandpa John in 1976.
Both orchards together then became known as John McIlquham Orchards. In 2000, John J. and
Katherine retired and the OO orchard was sold to the grandson of
James McIlquham.
Today, John E. McIlquham, his wife, Marykay, and their two children own and operate the
orchard on the corner of Co. Hwy J & K. Sadly, John J. McIlquham passed away in September
of 2004 and never saw the reopening of the "J&K Orchard". Katherine McIlquham, along with
John E.'s sister and brother, continues to help out in the day-to-day operation of the family
business. The McIlquhams offer visitors 17 varieties of fresh picked apples, including
the new Zestar! and Honeycrisp. Pick-your-own apples and pumpkins, as well as a FREE corn maze and FREE wagon rides (wagon rides are weekends only - weather permitting) will delight the kids.
The apple crop was extremely limited this year. We had frost this spring that nearly destroyed the entire crop. We will remain open through the end of October for wine sales.
