Capturing the Friedmans - the Friedman family, Andrew Jarecki
Threat advisory: Elevated - Significant risk of entertaining activities
Movie propaganda
Who do you believe?
The Documentary Grand Jury Prize winner at this year's Sundance Film Festival, Capturing the Friedmans delves into a world of secrets and unattractive truths. With access to the family's home videos and present-day interviews with the Friedmans, director Andrew Jarecki has constructed a film that inquires not just into the life of a family in turmoil but into a community, a legal system, and an era. By constantly keeping the audience's judgements and understanding in flux, Capturing the Friedmans embodies the difficulty of capturing the truth and is one undoubtedly of the best docos of the year.

Theatrical report
Capturing the Friedmans is a revealing and intimate look inside paedophilia and the way it affects a reasonably average family. "Sharing" is a common American trait (just look at The Jerry Springer show) and, for some reason, the Friedman family choose to share their experiences.
These are scary people. None of them is sane. (I realise that everyone is insane to some degree, but these people are all nuts all the time.) Some of that is because of the trauma of being related to an alleged paedophile - vigilante justice is alive and well in the USA - but the rest is because they are neurotic. The parents inflicted their neuroses on the children, who incorporated them into their world view. They think that they grew up in a normal family. Uh-uh. This family was never normal.We all have the experience of wanting to bash/lock up/kill child abusers, we all have the experience of jumping to conclusions, but Capturing the Friedmans gives you a look at the other side of the fence. Find out what it's like to have a father accused of paedophilia. Go on, it'll be fun.

Oh My Stars: A Novel
Title: Oh My Stars: A Novel
Author: Lorna Landvik
KDL Description:
In a novel set during the early days of rock 'n roll, the life of Violet Mathers, a down-and-out woman, becomes embroiled with that of a handsome musical pioneer. By the author of Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons.
Amazon Description:
I am convinced that at birth the cake is already baked. Nurture is the nuts or frosting, but if you're a spice cake, you're a spice cake, and nothing is going to change you into an angel food. Tall, slender Violet Mathers is growing up in the Great Depression, which could just as well define her state of mind. Abandoned by her mother as a child, mistreated by her father, and teased by her schoolmates ("Hey, Olive Oyl, where's Popeye?"), the lonely girl finds solace in artistic pursuits. Only when she's hired by the town's sole feminist to work the night shift in the local thread factory does Violet come into her name, and bloom. Accepted by her co-workers, the teenager enters the happiest phase of her life, until a terrible accident causes her to retreat once again into her lonely shell. Realizing that she has only one clear choice, Violet boards a bus heading west to California. But when the bus crashes in North Dakota, it seems that Fate is having another cruel laugh at Violet's expense. This time though, Violet laughs back. She and her fellow passengers are rescued by two men: Austin Sykes, whom Violet is certain is the blackest man to ever set foot on the North Dakota prairie, and Kjel Hedstrom, who inspires feelings Violet never before has felt. Kjel and Austin are musicians whose sound is like no other, and with pluck, verve, and wit, Violet becomes part of their quest to make a new kind of music together. Oh My Stars is Lorna Landvik's most ambitious novel yet, with a cast of characters whose travails and triumphs you'll long remember. It is a tale of love and hope, bigotry and betrayal, loss and discovery–as Violet, who's always considered herself a minor character in her own life story, emerges as a heroine you'll laugh with, cry with, and, most important, cheer for all the way.

Abigail Adams to her daughter, Abigail Smith, November 21, 1800 | Back to Activities
My Dear Child,
I arrived here on Sunday last, without meeting any accident worth noticing, except losing ourselves when we left Baltimore, and going eight or nine miles on the Frederick road, by which means we were obliged to go the other eight through woods, where we wandered two hours without finding a guide, or the path. Fortunately, a straggling black came up with us, and we engaged him as a guide, to extricate us out of our difficulty; but woods are all you see, from Baltimore until you reach the city, which is only so in name. . . . In the city there are buildings enough, if they were compact and finished, to accommodate Congress and those attached to it; but as they are, and scattered as they are, I see no great comfort in them. . . . The [President's] house is upon a grand and superb scale, requiring thirty servants to attend and keep the apartments in proper order, and perform the ordinary business of the house and stables; an establishment very ill proportioned to the President's salary. The lighting the apartments, from the kitchen to parlours and chambers is a tax indeed; and the fires we are obliged to keep to secure us from daily agues is another cheering comfort. To assist us in this great castle, and render less attendance necessary, bells are wholly wanting, not one single one being hung through the whole house, and promises are all you can obtain. This is so great an inconvenience, that I know not what to do, or how to do. The ladies from Georgetown and in the city have many of them visited me. Yesterday I returned fifteen visits, -- but such a place as Georgetown appears, -- why, our Milton is beautiful. But no comparisons; -- if they will put me up some bells, and let me have wood enough to keep fires, I design to be pleased. I could content myself almost anywhere three months; but, surrounded with forests, can you believe that wood is not to be had, because people cannot be found to cut and cart it! Briesler entered into a contract with a man to supply him with wood. A small part, a few cords only, has he been able to get. Most of that was expended to dry the walls of the house before we came in, and yesterday the man told him it was impossible for him to procure it to be cut and carted. He has had recourse to coals; but we cannot get grates made and set. We have, indeed, come into a new country.
You must keep all this to yourself, and, when asked how I like it, say that I write you the situation is beautiful, which is true. The house is made habitable, but there is not a single apartment finished, and all withinside, except the plastering, has been done since Briesler came. We have not the least fence, yard, or other convenience, without, and the great unfinished audience-room I make a drying-room of, to hang up the clothes in. The principal stairs are not up, and will not be this winter. Six chambers are made comfortable; two are occupied by the President and Mr. Shaw; two lower rooms, one for a common parlour, and one for a levee-room. Up stairs there is the oval room, which is designed for the drawingroom, and has the crimson furniture in it. It is a very handsome room now; but, when completed, it will be beautiful. If the twelve years, in which this place has been considered as the future seat of government, had been improved, as they would have been if in New England, very many of the present inconveniences would have been removed. It is a beautiful spot, capable of every improvement, and, the more I view it, the more I am delighted with it.

COLUMBIA CITY — Masonic jurisdictions have recognized the sons of Masons who join the fraternity by giving them the title of Lewis.
Strangely, this is a custom that has remained unpracticed in the United States. This year marks a change in the Masons, or at least in Indiana and in Columbia City.
Two families have bestowed the Lewis Award on their sons.
Recently, the Jerry Yagel and Cliff Schlatter families presented the Lewis Award to their sons.
Jerry's son, Bob, presented the Lewis Award to his son Justin Yagel. Witnessing the event was Tim Yagel, cousin, and Jesse, uncle.
Cliff Schlatter II presented the Lewis Award to his son, Cliff Schlatter III, as Jerry Bradshaw, stepfather, witnessed.
"We love to present these awards because it continues the good word about Masons," said Bud Rothgeb, Worshipful Master of the Columbia City Lodge 189 Free & Accepted Masons (F&AM).
So far, Lodge 189 has presented two father's awards and three Lewis Awards.
"This is a new, yet ancient award and we've really pushed it to get it into Indiana," said Rothgeb.
The Lewis jewel is used to identify Masons who join the fraternity, and also have a father who is a Mason in good standing.
This custom has existed around the world for centuries and has recently been brought to Indiana by Jim Coleman, of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons.

Teen Writing Contest Winner
- By Laura
- 3 December, 2013
- No Comments
Congratulations to Danielle, the winner of our Teen Writing Contest!
The Hall of Mirrors
I was young when my parents died in a tragic accident and left me and my brother alone in the world.
After they passed my brother and I neglected the estate, our once grand, luxurious home soon became a hollow house of crumbling corridors filled with cobwebs. There was only one spot of the entire estate we bothered to maintain, The Hall of Mirrors. It was a large room, with walls made of ancient mirrors that shone strangely even in the absence of light. It had always been my mother's favorite room.
Thusly, it was the only room in the house that held some remnants of joy, some glimmer of happiness long lost; soon it became common for us to dine in the glimmering room.
It was during one of these bland meals that I observed my reflection, my blonde hair was frizzled and my blue eyes were stained with tears. Those eyes had once been the source of my name; they had once sparkled so brightly that my mother had insisted they name me Andromeda, after the sparkling Andromeda Galaxy.
But now they seldom sparkled, they only wept. They wept for the lives that had been lost that fateful day when God had called my parents home. How God could ever leave a child and his elder sister alone to fend for themselves, I never understood.
I was barely a teenager and now I had to take care of my little brother. My parent's deaths affected my brother even more than me, as evidenced by his dreadful reflection. His heart was broken in such a way that I doubted it could ever be healed. I yearned for a way to ease his pain.
Then she came. She came suddenly, as if in answer to my silent prayer for my brothers healing. I saw her, a terrifying, beastly creature and although she was human in form she was not so in actions. Her wild gold hair flew outward in all directions and although she attacked my brother it was I she looked at, never taking her dangerous blue eyes off me.
My brother screamed my name, "Andromeda! Andromeda!" He cried. But it was as though I was dreaming, I wanted to stop her but I couldn't.
She slammed his head against the floor and blood trickled down his face. He cried out for her to stop but she wouldn't, she had a job to do and would see that it was done. She slammed his head several more times against the marble floor and his screaming was eventually silenced. His blood splashed up against the mirror.
Wait-The Mirror? I froze and so did she. She ran a bloodied hand through her tangled locks and so did I. Every move I made, no matter how slight, the killer mimicked. My blood ran cold.
My reflection. I had watched my reflection kill my brother. But reflections can't kill people, I thought. I felt sick. Had I killed my brother? I was shaking and crying but I couldn't stop staring at the mirror, at my bloodied reflection.
I saw my brother's corpse in the mirror too; I saw the blood dripping off his face in a steady rhythm. The liquid made strange patterns on the floor, like a design painted on it by some demented artist. The sound of the blood falling echoed horribly against the glass walls, a revolting sound, like a melody composed by the devil himself. Drip-drip. Drip-drip. Guil-ty. Guil-ty. Guilty!
The word echoed horribly in my mind, "No," I screeched at the polished and blood splattered glass. "No! You did this, not I!" The reflection in turn accused me.
I put up my hands to my ears to block the sound of the blood, but I couldn't stop looking at the mirror. Even when I closed my eyes, the hideous image stayed with me, haunting me, and plunging me into a feeling of indescribable agony. I beat my hands against the glass, smearing the blood in odd patterns, distorting my reflection, making it look even more beast like. "No! No!"
I was frantic; I fear all my sanity had fled from my mind, "You did this! You killed him!" The mirror echoed back my words and any glimmer of sanity left in my soul vanished. I threw myself at the mirror, desperate to avenge my brother's death, desperate to destroy his murderer. The glass shattered and the many pointed shards pierced my body. I fell to the floor and my blood mingled with that of my brothers. Now the blood-patterns on the floor seemed strangely beautiful.
I smiled softly at the swirling sea of red, for even though I knew I was dying, I was content. I had destroyed the beast that killed my brother.

Posted on January 31st, 2013 | Filed under Community, Learning
Tagged with democracy, love
If I am finally honest, I admit I am unhappy. I am uncomfortable with the way things are currently in my life. And I rise every day to a simple task of reform: removing brick by unhappy brick, those foundations that have constructed a world in which I do not know what to do. This discomfort is in some sense energy for daily activities, and at times the right sort of kindling for action. In the end, however, I enter sleep with a deep heaviness that weighs on my soul proclaiming a single word: solitude.
I'm lonely and I don't like it. I have plenty of friends, and lots of work; I interact cheerfully with others, and attempt to embrace graciousness while avoiding malice and any sort of mischievousness. But unhappiness is rid by recognition not by all, but by all the love of a single person. W. H. Auden has rightly said that what we wish most in this world is not everyone's love, but all the love of one. We desire to be wholly loved, and to give love in return. This is why the promiscuity of youth is so robbing of ingenuity and gives in return experience and talent in bed rather than the love and care so required for the troubled times that inevitably come when two people enter intimacy.
I do not doubt that others have similar feelings. In fact, I hope the above paragraphs roughly paint an emotional picture of what it might be like to be single in your twenties in America. In a society driven by ambition and competition, which strives to form personalities wrested from tradition, relationships enter into the picture obliquely and often in awkward manners.
We praise the soul's Promethean expansion and disregard our birthrights, leaving us in a challenge to self-create and of creation by our imagining new worlds, yet we find our resources slim. Without tradition, we are left with little to affirm in ourselves. Without tradition, our ability to elaborate upon and further create the world around us is given few chances to create new, prophetic alternatives to our current state, thereby possibly addressing and abating our world's problems. Identity and justice are at stake here.
And it is at the moments when we are most vulnerable that we see the starkness of our situation. The issue here is certainly the question of community in today's America. And we see plainly that the individual and community go together, are nearly mutually constitutive. More importantly, however, I am interested in the question of how our relationships change after a country has inculcated its citizens through and through with notions of ambition and success, competition and challenge, greatness and glory. Have we forgotten – have I forgotten – that I need others as much as I need myself? What is more, what does it mean to fall in love, to – in clichéd language that nonetheless strikes the heart of the matter – lose one's self in another?
The stories of John Cheever describe this situation nicely: he places incapable personalities into moments where greatness is asked for, yet never achieved. Self-deception, escape, and the delusion of those closest to us follow and we are left returning home to a lover's apartment only to find it empty – with only the dress she wore last night lying on the bed as a memory of what might only be possible if things were different.
But things aren't different, and this is not a sad situation. We cannot all steal fire from the Gods and not all of us feel the need to. We are limited beings, and personalities that quake with fear, insecurity, doubt, and vice. But this is not the end of the story. Yes, we are alone sometimes and this is not a cherished situation that we appreciate by its challenge to be overcome. In my view, loneliness might best be understood loosely in Keatsian terms of energy: we are caught on a path of life that, in its ups and downs, still moves. This movement allows us – only in hindsight – to understand tragedy as a necessary aspect of life. Suffering is not valuable in itself, and loneliness in a time when intimacy is desired is never satisfying. But it exists, and I am of the camp that seeks to constantly affirm life. In some odd sense then, through this line of thought, we might be able to assert tragedy as beautiful, and arrive to Giovanni's fine phrase of the "stink of love," in Baldwin's Giovanni's Room.
To get there we have to level with ourselves as imperfect beings. We have to understand that community is best experienced when dynamic personalities speak to each other: when exchange and competition are both affirmed, when the Promethean expansion of the soul is affirmed because there are moments when life welcomes us into its fullness and those are the points where we fly.
But we don't stay flying; we fall and that is when we must realize that it is better to fly together, and to fall together. At bottom, we must realize that in order to face the stink of love we have to look our dread in the face and I have to see how I have hurt you (for the American tradition of democracy has brought us great sins of slavery, genocide, and imperialism that we have yet to fully face). But this does not mean another world is not possible, and that we are not the ones to create it.
I affirm Promethean self-expansion and world creation which praises human powers while whole-heartedly acknowledging not only our limits, but also the grotesque tendency we have to hurt one another. This self-reliance is best suited for an Emersonian creative democracy which strives to bring us all into our fullest selves. This, in my view, is not far from love: where we are all fully recognized, not by our labor alone, but by our existing, poorly and greatly. The deep beauty of having another affirm our lives is enough to bring us to our knees in deep graciousness that life allows such wonderful things to happen.
What a beautiful, poignant expression of feelings so many of us share.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I enjoy the connection you make between ambition to loneliness. So often the energy required for "accomplishments" is at the expense of relationships. I think it's because we have a hard time identifying collective ambition – most achievement in this culture is singular. It'd be easier to fly together, as you say, if we had a vision of the beauty of genuine community.

More book news...on the same night that in-public launched its 10 book at Photofusion, Polly Braden was launching her book China Between at The Photographers Gallery. Polly kindly sent me a copy of the book that is published by Dewi Lewis and contains 63 color photographs taken by Polly over a decade in China. The book also contains texts by Pollys husband David Campany who is reader in Photography at the University of Westminster and by Jennifer Higgie who is co-editor of the London-based contemporary arts magazine, Frieze. The book has some connection with The Arts Council of England but it is not clear what that is.
The hardback book is traditionally but nicely designed and the image reproduction is very good. The covers feature the faces of two of the women in Pollys photographs painted by Tim Braden, it is not immediately apparent how this is relevant to the contents or aims of the book though.
I have found it very difficult to come to a conclusion about this book, it contains some very beautiful and atmospheric images, many taken in dim artificial light which imbue a strong sense of place. The images are extremely varied in quality from page to page however and many rely on your flipping to the back of the book for the caption to give them their relevance. I would have liked to have seen more images that stood alone both aesthetically and in terms of their meaning, few of the images in China Between are self contained, they require the company of the others and the book format to work. This feeling is starkly illustrated when you do turn the page and come across one of the gems that are certainly hidden in the book, 'Night walk, Xiamen, September 2007' shows an elderly woman walking with a stick, her arm appears to be bandaged and in a sling as she passes down a very contemporary looking, recently constructed, shopping street. She is framed beautifully by the lighting and a dark area of wet road that almost holds her in place, she seems to be contemplating the crossing of this simple barrier to her journey. One imagines this neighborhood has changed dramatically during her lifetime and she seems out of time with the western dresses in the shop windows beside her. Life seems hard for her as she carries both her groceries and walking stick in her remaining good hand.
In this image Polly has kept a number of plates spinning at the same time, it tells her Chinese story but not at the cost of being a great image, its beautiful, meaningful and self contained and as such is a great Street Photograph. There are a number of images like this in the book but, for me, not enough.
This image of a young woman on a mobile telephone is another good example, its composed, the play of scale works nicely, she is diminutive in the frame beneath a large tree and wall. Behind her is a view through the wall to the street beyond, she squats, her hands to her temples in concentration. You sense she has sought out this quiet spot amongst the oppressive noise of the city to make her call, the shot conveys its message beautifully, there is no need to flick to the index and read the caption.
I was particularly taken by a paragraph of David Campany's text that resonates with me because It describes very succinctly the unique strength of Street Photography to show us our own lives, he writes:
"Modern streets have a particular way of registering transition. They belong neither to 'home' nor to 'work'. They are communal and yet official, very public but private too. The street is where little truths point to larger ones if you can attune yourself. The way human bodies tell of the conditions of work. The way faces carry or attempt to mask history. The way the very fabric of the street attests to the pace of things. The way signs, clothes and even moods are the result of minor and major forces"
If you are versed with the genre of Street Photography you will be disappointed by this book, it does not contain the visual wit, cleverness or consistency of similar books such as Alex Webb's book about Istanbul City of a Hundred Names. If you are interested in China and its extraordinary development and change and what that looks like at street level rather than in photographs of its grand industrial projects then you will enjoy China Between. I bought Alex Webb's Istanbul book as much for his photographic dexterity and vocabulary as I did to see what Istanbul was like. For me at least China Between is a book about China rather than a book about photographs of China but in that context it is very successful.
China Between is available to buy on Pollys site.

You are spot on. I remember Mark Twight mentioned that shorter intense work provides adequate machinery for longer efforts but not the mental toughness. Only longer efforts can provide this. Some of the central governor theory (the piece Frank Forenich did for the PM for example).
It's interesting also...we have generally recommended CF type WOD's ~ 3-4 days per week, some sprint work and one long effort every 7-10 days for our endurance folks, particularly multisport. Some of these people are getting to a pretty high level of performance, placing well, improving race to race and avoiding most of the repetitive injury issues. Much more time efficient also.
Its interesting...after about 2 hrs of say a 70-75% VO2 effort the fueling shifts from intramuscular triglyceride (IMTAG) to blood borne free fatty acids. The body appears reticent to deplete the IMTAG too far and if FFA's are not readily available things will grind down. Increasing IMTAG's and ability to put FFA's into circulation is key for those longer efforts.

David Mach studied at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee from 1974 to 1979 and subsequently at the Royal College of Art, London from 1979 to 1982. Mach is a Scottish sculptor and installation artist. David's artistic style is based on flowing assemblages of mass-produced objects.
These impressive works of art are the result of meticulous work with thousands of tiny, colourful, Japanese matches which have been used to portray famous faces and recreate legendary artworks. However, despite his hard work and the hours he put in to creating the sculptures, Scottish artist David Mach likes to open his exhibitions by setting them on fire. It only takes a few seconds and sends the flames up to 6ft in the air, leaving a charred version of the original, but the 55-year-old says he is not destroying his work, but creating new art.
'You lose the colour but you different shades of ash, different greys and blacks. It's a real ferocious act of creation. You don't lose it, what you get is another thing.'
Give a man a match, and he'll be warm for a minute, but set him on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Toy Theater
Originally a popular and simple means of staging dramatic spectacles in the Victorian parlor, Toy Theater (also known as "paper theater") originated in the 19th-century revolution in printing technologies. Enthusiastic theater-goers could purchase replicas of their favorite stages, shows, and even actors, along with truncated scripts, assemble and customize then, and re-enact classic plays at home for their family and friends. By the 20th century, however, advances in electronic media and mass culture led to the virtual extinction of this inexpensive family entertainment; the small box used to stage sumptuous dances, battles and stories in the parlor was replaced by another all-too-familiar box which has taken over modern living rooms.
For the past 20 years, Great Small Works has been exploring the Toy Theater, finding it easily affordable, limitless in scope and content, and accessible to people of all ages and persuasions. We have done miniature stagings of classics, interpretations of literature, and a series (now in its 13th episode) titled Toy Theater of Terror As Usual. We have conducted workshops with students, artists and activists in widely varying settings. We have traveled to stages in Europe and the U.S., including a festival of traditional Toy Theater in northern Germany, and have performed in places as diverse as theaters, schools, museums, parks, prisons, barns, tents, and a cave! The Terror As Usual series was made into an exhibition for the Queens Museum of Art in 2010, and was displayed in February-March 2012 at Concordia University in Montreal.
Sparking what has become a full-scale revival movement, Great Small Works has produced nine International Toy Theater Festivals in New York City since 1993, which have included hundreds of guest artists, extensive Toy Theater exhibitions, workshops, symposia, and projects with NYC public high school students. The tenth festival will take place in June 2013 at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn, NY.
Based in New York City and founded in 1995, Great Small Works is a collective of six theater artists who met through their work with Bread and Puppet Theater. The company draws on folk, avant-garde and popular theater traditions to address contemporary issues, and to keep theater at the heart of social life. Great Small Works produces shows on many scales, from giant community-based spectacles involving hundreds of participants, to miniature table-top shows in living rooms. On any scale, Great Small Works productions seek to renew, cultivate and strengthen the spirits of their audiences, promoting theater as a model for participating in democracy.
Great Small Works is a non-profit corporation whose members are John Bell, Trudi Cohen, Stephen Kaplin, Jenny Romaine, Roberto Rossi and Mark Sussman. The company received a Village Voice OBIE Award (1997); two UNIMA-USA Citations for Excellence (1997 and 2008); a New York Foundation for the Arts Community Assets Grant (1998), and the Puppeteers of America's Jim Henson Award for innovation in puppetry (2005).
JOHN BELL is the director of the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry at the University of Connecticut. He is a leading expert on the history of puppet and popular theater, a contributing editor to TDR: The Journal of Performance Studies and to Puppetry International, and author of Strings, Hands, Shadows: A Modern Puppet History, published by the Detroit Museum of Art, Puppets, Masks and Performing Objects (MIT Press), and American Puppet Modernism (Palgrave/Macmillan). He was a member of Bread and Puppet Theater's resident company for over a decade. At the Ballard Institute he has designed and curated ten exhibitions about global puppetry, and in April 2011 hosted the first International Puppetry Conference in the U.S. He is currently teaching puppetry classes at Harvard University, and will be the Donald Monan S.J. Professor of Theatre Arts at Boston College in the 2012-13 academic year.
TRUDI COHEN was a full-time member of Bread and Puppet Theater's resident company in Vermont for 10 years, and has performed as puppeteer in productions directed by Janie Geiser, Amy Trompetter and David Neumann. She was Director of Great Small Works' 2008 and 2010 International Toy Theater Festivals, has curated dozens of the company's Spaghetti Dinner events, and hosts Soiree evenings in Great Small Works' studio for sharing of developing work. She plays bass drum with the Boston-based Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band, and is a founder and organizer of the HONK! Festival of activist street bands in Somerville, MA.
SARA PEATTIE is the Boston-based creative spirit of The Puppeteers' Cooperative, a group of artists and puppeteers working in cities around the nation to create giant puppet parades, pageants, and ceremonies of celebration and complaint, using simple materials and movements to build community cardboard extravaganzas. She has worked with groups around the US and Canada, from Nova Scotia in the North to Florida in the South, and with festivals including the Atlanta Arts Festival and the Bumbershoot Festival of Seattle, creating semi-instantaneous pageants, art installations, and parades. Puppet Coop's massive pageants at the Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors Festival in New York have explored urban themes through workshops with large groups of city youth. Peattie's "Triumph of the Arts" parades with the Governor's Institute on the Arts of Vermont have become a beloved tradition. She has worked with First Night of Boston and First Night International and with First Night celebrations around the country since their inception, creating both experimental commissioned parade works and sections, and spirited and colorful community group parade pieces. The Puppeteers' Cooperative is also involved with a number of interrelated groups: Hi-Art videos, which makes videos of giant puppet pageants and miniature tabletop productions; News of the Week, for mini street shows; the Back Alley Puppet Theater, which creates parades and parade puppets in the Boston area; the Puppet Free Library, which lends puppets, banners, and masks to people and institutions in the Boston area; and the Construction Section, puppet makers.

On a Thursday in early October, en route from Alabama to South Carolina, we were one of two overnight parties. We had reserved the Gentlemen's Room in the Southwing Cottage which is connected to the main Brady House by a covered walkway with small tables and chairs. We arrived around 6 pm, just after staff had left for the day, so we were on our own. Fresh cookies and beverages were available in the kitchen. We picnicked on sandwiches and fruit from our cooler at a table on the walkway overlooking the back yard garden. Accommodations were clean and in good condition. Though we had requested "no air fresheners or fabric softener," there was a definite but unidentifiable artificial scent in the room. We slept well. Train tracks are nearby, but the train whistle blew only once or twice and then quiet resumed. Cheerful staff served a generous and tasty breakfast. Photos of Brady House rooms do not adequately convey their beauty. We would have chosen a room in the House rather than the Cottage had we known the property's layout. Extra time was spent going back and forth via the walkway to the dining room and check-out. Walking tour of historic antebellum Madison homes takes about 1 hr. following a self-guided brochure map.

Our wedding weekend at the Brady Inn was amazing, magical, epic…we have run out of adjectives. The Brady Inn was the perfect setting for our family and cherished friends to spend time together celebrating this most joyous occasion. The staff was incomparable! The individual attention to our needs as well as the attention to detail was second to none. From the fabulous breakfasts to the assistance with our lunches and snacks to the moment by moment caretaking of us during the rehearsal dinner--I can't compliment everyone enough. Special thanks to Billie, Becca, Anna, Amy, Alice, Marilyn, Crystal, John, Paul, Karen and Peter who jumped right in to help as if we were their own family. It was so great! We felt so welcome and cared for throughout the weekend. It is a time that none of us will ever forget.

I really love music that combines songs, or 'mashes' them together. It's just fun to hear some old favorites remixed, sampled and combined with other music for a new sound. ( Of course, if I'm not familiar with the original, then it's hard to tell what's being sampled, and what's original (if anything) !
Maybe those musical mashup bring a smile because we like deciphering mash-ups of another type - call them 'citation mashups '. A citation is like a map that leads you to a destination in the literature. Follow the path it describes and you'll get to the information you seek. Journal title, year, volume, issue, page... each helps you navigate through the information landscape. Follow them and voila! .... well, that's idea anyway. Most of the time the citation "map" works beautifully, but there are other cases where the map leaves you lost. You're stuck, and trouble is, you still want that article !
We often get requests for documents that are out there in the literature, but we don't have the correct map to lead us there. Sometimes we just just don't have all the information we need, and sometime the information we have is incorrect, and the citation is bad. For example, the author and journal title from one citation gets mixed up with the volume number and year from another citation. Surprisingly, many of these "citation mashups" come from documents that you'd expect to be well behaved, like patents.
Here's one: Webb, etal; Immunochemistry (1976) 5:131-208
It turns out this harmless-looking citation contains information from two other articles, cited correctly below. The relevant details are in bold.
1) Adv Immunol. 1966;5:131-208. Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis and autoimmune disease. Paterson PY.
2) Immunochemistry 13 (4): 333-337 1976. Molecular requirements involved in suppresion of EAE by synthetic basic copolymers of amino-acids. Author(s): Webb C, Teitelbaum D, Herz A, Arnon R, Sela M
So how does a citation mashup occur? And how is it perpetuated in the literature? Well, it turns out both of these articles appear in a bibliography by a third author. They also appear in a patent. Somewhere along the way, they got mashed together. And so now here we are, trying to find a copy of an article that doesn't exist, in that context, at least.
For some insight into the problem, enter a known citation mashup to a resource like ISI's Science Citation index and see if it doesn't produce a few hits. It turns out that once an article is improperly cited, it's likely to be improperly cited time and time again. The take home message here is one that most scholars are familiar with; if you read an article and discover a reference to a third party's work, you probably shouldn't cite that third party without getting a copy of the article and reviewing it yourself.
Which is why we provide a title page and copyright page standard with the articles we supply. Because you need to know your citation is correct, and the article appears in the literature as cited.

Leadership – The Garden of Facebook
This week marks the beginning of my 4th year at Facebook
I think every engineer should read this post. I had to stop myself from cutting and pasting the whole damn post. So here is the first good snippet, but you really should read the whole thing (and another example of how Facebook is doing things right – if I ever did want to work at a big company, it would be my first choice):
"Code is a tool you have for solving problems. If you were gardening, you might plant flowers or pull weeds. Increasing your scope does not mean planting more flowers or pulling more weeds (though you should expect to be faster and more proficient at that as you become more experienced). What it really means is looking up from the ground at the garden in its entirety, considering how your section fits in, and eventually helping to decide the whole garden's plan."
Nine Things Developers Want More Than Money
Most engineers become engineers because they can't imagine doing anything else for a living. That is to say, they do it for the love of the work, not just for the paycheck. (Which isn't to say there aren't people in other fields with the same passion.) But, when money isn't the motivating factor for your employees, how can you make sure they are still satisfied?
- Setting them up to succeed. This means realistic deadlines, so developers don't have to rush and turn in a second-rate product.
- Being recognized for hard work. Recognition is easy to give but often ignored. Everyone likes it when people notice how well they did.
- Building something that matters.
- Building software without an Act of Congress. Essentially, autonomy. Creative freedom to build what is right without having to get an okay from 10 managers.
When Managers Think They Are Leaders
We all want to be good at our jobs. And for managers, being considered more than a boss — being a leader — is what most of us strive for. Unfortunately, many of the people who use the "leader" title are not leaders at all. This post is a guide to identifying if the manager you're dealing with is the real deal or just a pretender.
Teams & Process – What's Your Number?
Open-plan offices make employees less productive, less happy, and more likely to get sick
Many startups favor the open-office layout because it makes collaboration so much easier. However, this article outlines the way in which these super close quarters may not be so good for your team. Some of the biggest factors cited in the article were:
- increased numbers of sick days
- lowered productivity
- increased levels of distraction.
In some cases, they found that not only were people sick more, but office relations broke down more as a result of getting closer together. The article mentions that some people love sharing space with their coworkers, but just as many are negatively impacted by being too close.
Breaking Workplace Taboos: A Conversation About Salary Transparency
Pretty intriguing things are going on at Buffer, a company that made all employee salaries public knowledge this year. Salaries are figured out using a simple equation based on role, experience, and location, and employees can choose whether to add extra salary or equity to their package.
"'In Silicon Valley, there's a culture of people jumping from one place to the next,' [Buffer founder Joel Gascoigne] says. 'That's why we focus on culture. Doing it this way means we can grow just as fast—if not faster—than doing it the 'normal' cutthroat way. We're putting oil into the engine to make sure everything can work smoothly so we can just shoot ahead and that's what we're starting to see.'"
"There are three situations that can easily trigger members of your team. They involve: title, compensation, and location. That's right. The title on a business card, the amount of money someone receives, and where they sit. The Big Three, right or wrong, have accreted unexpected status; they've become disproportionately highly valued. They've become a yardstick by which a person measures success."
When you encounter one of these triggers with someone on your team, it's important to look at the situation from their perspective. What might cause them to react in a way that surprises you, and how can you prepare for that?
- Understand that judgment is temporarily impaired by triggers. People's first reaction to a big trigger isn't always the reaction they stick with. Giving people time to absorb information and collect their thoughts is important.
- You can't be too paranoid. Always try to figure out how a person will react to a trigger, based on what you know about them. How have they handled salary discussions in the past? Have they made any comments recently that betray their real feelings about their compensation?

<link rel="prerender" href="/path/to/page-b/">
"Here's how it works. Say you have Page A and Page B, where the user always visits them in that order. You can put a bit of code in Page A's markup that says "prerender Page B right now. Thus, when the user visits Page A, her browser will download and render Page B in the background, such that when she clicks through to Page B, it's displayed nearly instantly, because all of the loading and rendering work has already been done. It's so fast it seems magical — it must be experienced to be believed."

Why I Need to Know Your Budget
I liked this post – both the writing and the story. But it made me feel better about telling designers my budget up front.

It goes through the basic elements of designing for the iPhone and iPad, and walks you through the everything from understanding pixels to creating flexible designs that can transition from horizontal to vertical, iPhone to iPad.
Have you ever heard of rubber duck debugging? Essentially, it's the process of finding bugs by explaining your app, line by line, to a rubber duck. Kind of like the interview question: "Explain a complex engineering topic to me like I'm your grandmother."
When you are creating your next wireframe mockup of your new app, follow this process to start rubber duck debugging.
- Define your flow with user stories.
- Wireframe your flows.
- Prepare your fake screens.
- Fake it til you make it. This is where the debugging comes in. When you have a fake app, you need to work it through an actual fake process. The most important problems will be revealed as you work through this process and create a realistic experience of using the app.
"Hopefully by forcing yourself to mimic a real flow, you will have spotted some early UX problems. The kind of stuff you want to find before a developer spends a week putting a basic feature together."
I am a big fan of the flat design aesthetic, but I really like this author's perspective on whether or not it's the right choice for your product:
"Good design is about creating something useful that works. If the answer is designed in the fashion of flatness, so be it. But the trend may not work for all projects, so it should not be forced."
This post goes over the essentials of flat design, which are: 1. No added effects. 2. Simple elements. 3. Focus on typography. 4. Focus on color. 5. Minimalist approach. There are also tons of visuals to help explain the different elements of flat design, which are awesome for inspiration and just browsing…
The post also explains "almost flat" design, which is a favorite of many designers because it uses the elements of flat design while incorporating small effects, like shadows on buttons or slight gradients, to add a bit of texture throughout the app.

Five Things To Ask Your (Potential) iOS Developer
Contracting mobile apps is pretty common these days, and it makes sense for a lot of companies. I really loved this list of questions – and they are really applicable to all kinds of contract work. Here is the short list (although I also think you should add a few more of your own):
- Can you provide a sample project bid? // I liked this one because it gives you an idea what you will get if you have anything more than one meeting – great way to start the conversation over email. Although I can also imagine a lot of contractors having a bit of trouble providing this….
- How accurate are your bids? // great question
- What is your average app rating? // not sure I would ask this one….
- What is your testing procedure? // always good to ask about quality
- What is your code review process?
I might also add something about handoff, maintenance, and even coding standards, but…

Unheralded Mathematician Bridges the Prime Gap
Ever heard of "twin" primes?
"'Twin' primes often crop up — pairs such as 3 and 5, or 11 and 13, that differ by only 2. And while such pairs get rarer among larger numbers, twin primes never seem to disappear completely (the largest pair discovered so far is 3,756,801,695,685 x 2666,669 – 1 and 3,756,801,695,685 x 2666,669 + 1). […]
[Zhang's] paper shows that there is some number N smaller than 70 million such that there are infinitely many pairs of primes that differ by N. No matter how far you go into the deserts of the truly gargantuan prime numbers — no matter how sparse the primes become — you will keep finding prime pairs that differ by less than 70 million."

For my money, Heidi Grant Halvorson's advice is the best. :)
"There will be obstacles, setbacks, challenges. Many things will be more difficult than you thought they'd be. The key to success (scientifically speaking) is perseverance. You've just got to hang in there — there's no other way to win. But how do you do it? A great way to be more resilient is to stop comparing yourself to other people, and compare yourself to your own past performance — last week, last month, last year. Are you improving? That's the only question that matters."

5 Ways to Sneak Fitness Into Your Day
It's so easy to stay stuck at your desk all day, but as we all know, you've got to keep moving to prevent many serious diseases. I like the tips in this article because they're relatively simple to incorporate and easy to do like:
Change your commute. Park farther away or get off the bus a few stops early, and plan to add an extra 5-10 minutes to your commute where you walk the rest of the way to work.
Visit the park at lunch. Walking to a nearby outdoor area has the double benefit of stretching your legs and allowing the outdoors to recharge you mentally.

Spice Up the Conversation by Skipping "What Do You Do?"
"In an ideal world, we love what we do for a living — and it creates part of our identity. We spend a large portion of our waking lives working at our careers, so it should stand to reason. This is why an easy opening question often surrounds career.
But for many people, careers represent little more than conduits to income, and their true identity and passion comes from their activities outside of work.
So why not open the conversation with a question that allows somebody to talk about something exciting; something that makes them bubble over with enthusiasm — and which can ultimately lead to new frontiers of conversation?"

On the face of it, the characteristics of transcendence and immanence appear to be in conflict. A transcendent God is one who is beyond perception, independent of the universe, and wholly other when compared to us. An immanent God, is one which exists within within us, within the universe, etc. and, hence, very much a part of our existence. How can these qualities exist simultaneously?
The idea of a transcendent God has roots both in Judaism and in Neoplatonic philosophy. The Old Testament, for example, records a prohibition against idols and this can be interpreted as an attempt to emphasize the wholly otherness of God which cannot be represented physically. Neoplatonic philosophy, in a similar manner, emphasized the idea that God is so pure and perfect that it completely transcended all of our categories, ideas, and concepts.
The idea of an immanent God can also be traced to both Judaism and Greek philosophers. The stories of the Old Testament depict a God who is very active in human affairs and the working of the universe. Christians, especially mystics, have often described a God who works within them and whose presence they can perceive immediately and personally. Philosophers have also discussed the idea of a God who is somehow united with our souls, such that this union can be understood and perceived by those who study and learn enough.
The idea of God being transcendent is very common when it comes to the mystical traditions within various religions. Mystics who seek a union or at least contact with God are seeking a transcendent God a God so totally other and so totally different from what we normally experience that a special mode of experience and perception is required.
Such a God is not immanent in our normal lives, otherwise mystical training and mystical experiences would not be necessary to learn about God. In fact, the mystical experiences are themselves generally described as transcendent and not amenable to the normal categories of thought and language which would allow those experiences to be communicated to others.
Clearly there is some conflict between these two characteristics. The more Gods transcendence is emphasized the less Gods immanence can be understood and vice-versa. For this reason, many philosophers have tried to downplay or even deny one attribute or the other. Kierkegaard, for example, focused primarily upon Gods transcendence and rejected Gods immanence this has been a common position for many modern theologians.
Moving in the other direction we find Protestant theologian Paul Tillich and those who have followed his example in describing God as our ultimate concern, such that we could not know God without participating in God. This is a very immanent God whose transcendence is ignored entirely if, indeed, such a God can be described as transcendent at all.
The need for both qualities can be seen in the other characteristics normally attributed to God. If God is a person and works within human history, then it would make little sense for us not to be able to perceive and communicate with God. Moreover, if God is infinite, then God must exist everywhere including within us and within the universe. Such a God must be immanent.
On the other hand, if God is absolutely perfect beyond all experience and understanding, then God must also be transcendent. If God is timeless (outside of time and space) and unchangable, then God cannot also be immanent within us, beings who are within time. Such a God must be wholly other, transcendent to everything we know.
Because both of these qualities follow readily from other qualities, it would be very difficult to abandon either without also needing to abandon or at least seriously modify many other common attributes of God. Some theologians and philosophers have been willing to make such a move, but most have not - and the result is a continuation of both of these attributes, constantly in tension.

How is your LO with hand-eye coordination? Reaching out and grabbing things? My baby is 3 months and she's not really grabbing things yet. I'm not too concerned as much as I am curious about when this starts happening...
First-time momma-to-be with my amazing man. Planning a homebirth and expecting a baby girl mid-January 2012.
Zach just turned 3 months and seems to have made a huge leap in motor development. It took about a week to go from not being able to grasp, then grasping something if we lightly tapped his hand with it, then grasping something we placed close to his hand, and now he can grasp anything that's nearby and bring it to his mouth!! We've noticed that his arm movements are less spastic, he holds his hands together in front of his body now and has also figured out (finally!!!) how to suck his thumb. All of this has made for a much calmer baby after a couple of rough weeks where he was going through neurological growth spurts... He can also entertain himself for longer now that he can grasp, and he's learning to self-soothe. All babies develop at their own pace, and from my experience working with children it seems that (for the most part, although there are exceptions) little girls develop faster on the language front and slightly slower on the motor skills front, while it's the opposite with little boys.
Hmm... I'm not sure if what DD does qualifies as reaching out and grabbing things. She will be 12 weeks on Tuesday (is that how we determine how many months? By the number of weeks?). She has a floor gym and loves to flail around and hit at the toys, and even grab them, but I am not sure that she is intentionally grabbing them yet. So I am not sure. She does grab at necklaces of the person holding her on their chest (more like kind of checking out the texture than grabbing hold of). I wouldn't say she's definitely reaching out and grabbing things yet.
Married Since 4/05
Mom to the silliest girl since 1/12
And SUPRISE! expecting #2 in 12/15
Let your light shine.
Nope. To fit it with the rest of the kids you drop the weeks and just go by months. Since Q was born on 1/23 she will be three months tomorrow. I've found that most of the general population doesn't do well with the week countdown because it's not true to form. So it's easiest to just go by 3 months, 3.5 months, 4 months, etc.
My Parent Educator came this week and said that they aren't looking for grasping just yet. To be considered in the "typical" frame you want batting at things - batting and connecting with things is next - then grasping. They also look for baby to be able to put hands together.
Pilar - I'm so looking forward to thumb sucking to start! It's pretty much the end all be all for baby's emotional state, in my book. Soon!
Chatty Girl - 3/2006, Lovey Boy - 1/2010, Delicious Baby Girl - 1/2012
Here's the set-up I have for helping Z. develop grasping skills (see picture). It's a very simple wooden bracelet hung by a ribbon (which in turn is hung from an elastic), with a bell attached. Whenever he batted at it, the bell would ring so he would start realizing that his movements caused the sound. I started by tapping the bracelet to his hand so he could grasp it, then putting it very close to his hand and then farther away. Now it just hangs and although he still struggles, often he's able to grasp it and play with it. It's important to remember that the struggle is part of the growth process, and that not only will they be unable to do something the first time, but often they will be able to do something one day and then not do it the next day! I think that activity gyms are a little overwhelming, too many different objects to focus on and try to master. Z. has one hanging bracelet and two rattles (one wood, one cloth). He only has access to one at a time so as not to overwhelm him. Hope this helps!
W will grab for hands if they come near his face, and shove them into his mouth. I think maybe he thinks our hands are his hands, and he is a biiiig hand sucker.
He won't do the same with anything else, toys or the like, and believe me, his older brother shakes them right in his face often.
My older son was grabbing for stuff at this age (3 months) but he was a much more, hum, outwardly focused baby, if you know what I mean.
Mother of two great little guys, G (9/28/09) and W (1/20/12)
Mine grabs for his grandfather's sweaters and my partner's hair (I chopped my hair off muahahaha lol), and it is definitely on purpose and intended when he does it. He's getting there :)

You do the math..... I'll do the alfredo!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Perry has a mean guillotine...
He didn't look good that match at all, didn't really move his feet, looked like he was just trying to slop through everything. It'll be interesting to see how he adjusts to being the hunted guy every week, and not being one of the hunters.
I was no real fan of JH, but last year especially, despite the fact that he wound up not winning it all, during the season he was wrestling tough guys week in and week out, and always found a way to some how win.
Thanks for the link. It didn't show the DQ I don't think.
I cannot understand how Brown was not called for stalling.
I should also say I agree with what Jensen said above...
Go to somewhere between 3:30 left and the big chokes at the end of the match, or really at anytime while they are both neutral, and you can see that Brown is constantly backing up. I do not consider head-tapping and moving backwards to be wrestling.
Not saying that it was not a pretty good strategy -- Perry tried to force things and wound up on his back.
Perry Looked horrible, just like a wrestler that got up early to swaet off 7-8 lbs of water before weighins. Sloppy doesn't describe how poor he looks here, light years from his title bout with JH.
That vid seemed to cut out well before 12 points were put on the board, 8 tops and the last 4 are questionable.
I agree I only saw 8 potential points with the BP being iffy, I guess if you add a penalty point and art point thats 10, maybe what it was is Perry got a penalty point for both of the choks and brown got 3 on the last TD? THe ref might have called the td but perry held the choke in thus resulting in backpoints and a penalty point
So 2+2 for the first td, 1 penalty in the 2nd, 2+3 in the 3rd and a penalty add ridging time and that would be 12.
Isnt there a rule where if you get called for something in a nearfall situation you automatically give up 3 nearfall? Like if you get hurt or something and you're on your back they'll stop it but award 3, maybe the same thing applies to misconduct like perrys so even though brown didnt hold him on his back for 5 seconds the ref started counting saw the choke and blew the whistle then awarding 3 and a penalty point.
If the score really was 12-1 that seems like the most plausible scenario, and it would help to explain why Perry got so frustrated with the ref, if it had just been a warning I dont know if he would have made as big a deal of it.
Either way I dont understand how this match got out of the 2nd that was a blatant and obvious choke and he held it for about 8 seconds after the ref blew the whistle, Babalu got kicked out of the UFC for pulling that shit and thats a sport that ENCOURAGES submissions. Perry should have been booted off the mat that right away.
FWIW - Perry did not appear to be ready to wrestle and appeared (as in the Moza Fay match at Kaufman-Brand) to be working for the big move. That being said - not a particularly well officiated match, either.
Before you jump all over me - Perry was beaten in this match!
