Milwaukee Ballet brings 'Nutcracker' to life
Uihlein Hall was peppered with sparkly shoes and fluffy frocks for Saturday afternoon's opening of the Milwaukee Ballet's production of "The Nutcracker" - and that was just the little girls in the audience.
The production of "Nutcracker," directed and choreographed by Milwaukee Ballet artistic director Michael Pink, is a lavish, stage-filling spectacle that tells a classic story through a deft balance of child-pleasing action and elegant dance. »Read Full Article(2)

Rough estimate, by the critic's watch, of when Bad Religion began playing, hard, at the U.S. Cellular Connection Stage Sunday night: 10:01. Rough estimate of when the SoCal punk-rock band finished off its fourth song: 10:08. »Read Full Article(1)
Eagles take it easy at Marcus Amphitheater
The news flash from the Eagles' closing-night gig at Summerfest's Marcus Amphitheater on Sunday night is that Bernie Leadon appears to be at least partway back in the band.
Eagles' historians will remember that Leadon, an original band member, exited the group in rather definitive fashion way back in 1975 when he poured a bottle of beer over Glenn Frey's head. »Read Full Article(9)

I could go for a massive inheritance tax, as long as provisions were made for marriage (we made this money together) and disabled children. Republicans would happily go along with it, right?
He doesn't like it, not one bit, no sir.
This ruling by the Supreme Court in regard to gay "marriage" is actually going to fundamentally change the culture in America and apart from a miracle of God—a special movement of God—this is going to be basically an irreversible situation. And I really believe that to understand what is happening to America now, read Romans chapter 1. That is really a picture of what is going on. We're going to see increased persecution against Christians; we're going to see increased antagonism toward Christianity. We're going to see the restriction of the free exercise of religion, freedom of religion, and free speech in this nation, particularly in regard to Christianity. I believe we're going to see the government move against Christian churches, colleges, institutions, and organizations that take a stand on biblical marriage as God commands us to in the Bible going back to the book of Genesis.
As Jesus stated in Matthew, "Have ye not read, that He that made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh'? Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder" (Matthew 19:4–7).
You know, the only thing that's going to get restricted is intolerance and oppression. If you want to equate those with Christianity, fine with me!
In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court has legalized same-sex marriage.
No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization's oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.
Roberts, Thomas, Scalia, and Alito dissented. Scalia is getting ready to explode: he called the decision a "judicial putsch". Roberts thinks "the Court removes it from the realm of democratic decision", because apparently we're supposed to vote on who gets civil rights.
Now get ready for the fireworks. I'm not turning on Fox News, that's for sure.
Somebody calling themselves "True Free Thinker" is irate that anyone would teach kids about evolution. As you might guess from the moniker, this person is actually anti-atheist and anti-science; what you might not immediately realize is that he's a terrible thinker, terrible writer, and even worse video editor. He's assembled a very strange video which is like a slow, bad ad for the book, Grandmother Fish.
Skip lunch, Los Angelinos, you have something more important to do today.
Raif Badawi, a Saudi blogger, was arrested in 2012 and later sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes; the lashes to be administered each Friday, 50 at a time.
Raif's crime? Founding a website, Free Saudi Liberals, that "insulted Islam through electronic channels."
Free Saudi Liberals championed free speech and human rights.
Raif received 50 lashes on January 9, 2015. The lashings were suspended for a time, but the Saudi Supreme Court upheld Raif's sentence on June 7, 2015, and the lashings could resume any time. Raif is reportedly in poor health.
On Friday, June 26, The Center for Inquiry-Los Angeles, in conjunction with Amnesty International, Muslims for Progressive Values, PEN Center USA, and the Los Angeles Press Club, will be protesting Raif's sentence in front of the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles.
We ask the Saudi Government to FREE RAIF BADAWI and allow him to join his wife, Ensaf Haidar, and their three young children in Canada.
Please join us.

She has just announced another pregnancy out of wedlock, but she sounds so regretful and embarrassed…apparently this was an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy, which is a very unfortunate way to start a new life.
"I wanted you guys to be the first to know that I am pregnant.
Honestly, I've been trying my hardest to keep my chin up on this one.
At the end of the day there's nothing I can't do with God by my side, and I know I am fully capable of handling anything that is put in front of me with dignity and grace.
Just a suggestion, but God didn't and won't help you with this. What would help is sex education, availability of contraception, and willingness to use it. There is no shame in sexual desire, and getting pregnant can be a happy occasion — but when you treat it with guilt, as an obstacle in your life, and refuse to acknowledge that there are fairly easy things one can do to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, that is a problem.
It's also a problem when you hypocritically shame other women for their sex lives.
Hmm. An article claims that Dylann Roof got $4 million in donations, from a group calling itself "Citizens for White Rights."
Only thing is, the news story doesn't bother to link to any of its sources, adds an incorrect apostrophe to "citizens", and only shows an image they say they were sent by this mysterious and ungoogleable organization that purports to show online transactions, so who knows, maybe it's all a fake. I hope. In fact, the only source for this story anywhere on the web is this "newswatch33″ site, which looks a little dicey.
I'd like to see a little more verification before I believe any of this story.

ARDSLEY, N.Y. -- New York Knicks guard Iman Shumpert proved he was still a kid at heart, spending nearly two hours teaching and preaching basketball skills when his Citi Iman Shumpert Basketball ProCamp visited the House of Sports in Ardsley on Tuesday.
Shumpert, a first-round pick (No. 17 overall) in the 2011 National Basketball Association Draft, led 15 area coaches in the clinic attended by more than 100 boys and girls from first grade to 12th grade.
"I'll be out there with the whole time if you don't mind," Shumpert told the aspiring players. "I like to get in your face, play with you and maybe teach you some things I know."
The 6-foot-5 Shumpert said he was working hard, continuing to improve his offensive and defensive skills as the Knicks transition to a new era with General Manager Phil Jackson and rookie coach Derek Fisher in control and star Carmelo Anthony returning to after resigning as a free agent.
"It's great to have Melo (Anthony) back playing here and I am working hard to be ready to help this team get better," Shumpert said.
But Shumpert's focus was the kids at his clinic as he moved from group to group helping with passing, shooting, defensive and dribbling drills and working up a big sweat. He also took time to pose for team photos with all of the kids.
Event Administrator ProCamps, which develops, manages and operates sport camps fro professional athletes coordinated the clinic with House of Sports.
Each player received a camp T-Shirt and an autographed Iman Shumpert photo taken with each team.

Where did the summer go? A blink of an eye and it's gone. The kids are back in school and I have all these regrets of things we didn't get to do. One item on our list was to go to the Maine Wildlife Park in Gray. We go every year, but had not made the trek this summer...at least not until today.
For the 22nd time, Jack Cosgrove will lead his UMaine Black Bear team to an opening day game. This time a home tilt against Norfolk State from Virginia. And this time, the Bears begin play as defending CAA champs.

Renewable energy app ready to feed hungry minds
The renewable energy sector has been growing fast, and more and more people – particularly potential investors – are seeking information on little known areas to venture into.
Although some forms of renewable energy have been around for decades, there has been almost no mapping of the industry. Sure, companies have looked into their particular areas of interests, but until the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena), an intergovernmental organisation that supports countries in their transition to a sustainable energy future, launched in 2009, there was little aggregated information available.
Abu Dhabi mulls state-backed merger for Taqa
Abu Dhabi may merge its national energy company into another state-owned business to make the company's crippling debts more manageable and try to turn around its performance, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

FA Cup final in reflection
I though we were absolutely shocking for over an hour. Losing possession far too easily and Chelsea were able to make in roads into our defense at will. Enrique was definitely exposed for the first goal and as you say Skrtel gave Drogba far too much room.
Did anyone think that Reina might have done a little better for the first goal. Being beaten at the near post is a cardinal sin for a keeper.
In short, and I've said it for ages, our midfield was and has been powder puff. There is absolutely nothing or no one in there that will impose themselves on the game. There's no leadership in there at all.
Add to that the poor movement and we ran out of ideas just beyond the half way line. I lost count of how many times Agger brought it forward and didn't have any real options.
The Carrol switch made the difference. Huge credit to him and to me it proves that a big part of his problem this season is due to our powder puff midfield and a lack of service. There have been Carroll issues such as a lack of movement etc. but he really went for it on Saturday.
Evan after th swich we were really open on the break. Again the midfield not being able to retain possession and dictate the game sufficiently.
A lot to do!!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Yes I agree, Reina could have done better, it was a very soft goal, I wonder sometimes if Rafa used to have better goalkeeping coaches!
The midfield is our biggest problem, out wide and in the centre, yes, over the season we have created chances but a lot of those have been speculative and half chances rather then clear cut sitters. Honestly, I hate using United as an example but when you see someone like Valencia burst down the wing then not hit random crosses but come in of the line and hit slide rule passes for tap ins, it does make you wonder why we dont get these kind of widemen.
- 1 Reply to Hobitez
Probably because finding them of the right quality is difficult and it dictates that you play in a certain way, which certainly wasn't Rafa's style. I don't think we've fully seen Kenny's vision yet.
I'm a firm believer in a dominant midfield. Dominate that area and you will dominate the game. History backs me up with the most successful sides (including us) having the best central midfield. Sounessa, Whelan, McMahon and Molby, Keane and Scholes, Petit and Viera, Xavi and Busquets just to name a few. I've listed the midfiedl as central pairs but within each of them there is a clear leader that dictates the game and the way a side plays.
We've sorely missed Lucas this season and I hope he recovers well and soon but we still need someone alongside him as he will never be that dominant player that we need. I don't see anyone alse at the club that can do the role either. Adam doesn't seem to have it, I thought he might but there's no evidence of it. Gerrard doesn't have the discipline to play the role and after that there's no one. Henderson has got a lot of developing to do to grow into the position for sure.

Ladies who complain that this powder highlights your pores / sits on top of your skin: you NEED to use some kind of primer beforehand. For me, any High Definition powder will do the trick.The HD powder acts to fill in the pores, give a good base and increase the longevity of the LM. Otherwise it'll end up clumpy, splotchy, and uneven with super magnified pores. Not very happy with the primer requirement, but the end result is very good. Smooth and expensive looking skin.
Notes: (1). Don't expect good coverage if you have very bad skin, (2). A fluffy face brush like ELF Complexion works better compared to those flat surfaced ones that are normally used for mineral foundation powder, (3). When you wash your face, use a sponge / muslin cloth to lift those flaky skin, (4) Moisturize properly prior application
This is a hard powder to rate. I really love how it looks on me, but it's hard work at the same time. Will I repurchase? Right now, it's a very tentative yes.

I've been using this product in 'Soft Ivory' for about 3 months now, and I've been pretty pleased with it. Depending on how much I apply, I can get up to a medium coverage by buffing the powder in with a kabuki brush. It looks very natural and my skin looks radiant when I wear this. Thankfully, my skin hasn't broken out at all, which has happened with so many foundations I've tried. I do have some problems though. Firstly, the sifter. I find I have to open it up totally and tip the whole pot upside down to get anything out, which is messy and time consuming. Secondly, when the weather is warm or humid, I find the powder seems to "pool" and I get little foundation streaks on my t-zone. I've never experienced this before. It's a shame too, because I find mineral powders much nicer to wear in the summer than liquid foundations. Luckily the weather's getting cooler in Australia now, so I can use it up this winter and purchase something else next summer. This mineral powder isn't perfect, but it is really good and worth a try.

I am in love! This maekup has actually improved my acne and the overall texture and coloring of my skin. I highly recommend this product. I'm so obsessed with this now it's ridiculous. :) buy it and you won't regret it. Also it's a tad expensive but it lasts a really long time.

I'm just not sure about this product! The texture and finish are amazing, satiny, gorgeous, but the color selection and staying power are really limited. The shade range is the biggest weakness in my opinion....but if you find a match there is none as beautiful as this.

I purchased this product after having been encouraged to try mineral powder foundations instead of my normal All-In-One Face base from The Body Shop which has been my go-to for about 5 years now. That powder is a little chalky so I was excited to try a mineral powder which apparently sinks into skin to produce a natural looking finish. I first tried the Bare Minerals powder, but was unfortunately allergic to the higher concentration of Bismuth in the powder and my face got red, hot and itchy. I did not have that reaction with the Laura Mercier powder, although it does contain bismuth. The powder is finely milled and feels luxurious, but simply does not do much for my face at all. First of all, the coverage is extremely weak, and I didn't find that the powder was sufficiently brightening. The shortage in shade choices make it difficult to find one that really does skin justice. I am brown with yellow undertones, and for some reason, most of the shades look very gray on me. I got the powder in Rich Vanilla, which was the closest match but which I noticed darkens throughout the day, probably due to oxidation. My barely-oily T-zone is no match for the alleged mattifying properties of the powder; within two hours, it's all gone, and I look as though there is nothing on my face whatsoever. The pearl complex in the powder prevents any natural-looking buildable coverage. You can apply layer after layer but end up looking like a scaly, gray, shiny oil slick. I was not a fan of this powder at all. I feel as though I am putting dirt on my face; its staying power is little to none, it truly lacks coverage abilities (and I only have a couple of acne scars on my forehead) and beware those with oily skin! It truly does nothing, and for such a high price, you'd be better off getting a couple different hypoallergenic mattifying pressed powders instead.

This is the only mineral powder foundation that is just seamless on my skin. Unfortunately, the lightest color is too yellow for my NW15 skin and the pink shade, Tender Rose, though the description online says its for fair to medium skin tones is super dark and a completely unnatural shade. I wore this to work on Friday and was horrified to see myself in the bathroom mirror at work. Just scary - I much prefer that unfortunate orange look you might get to this pink nightmare! I was truly embarassed to have to walk around all day like that. The same shade discrepancy exists in her oil-free liquid foundation as well. She only has one truly "fair" shade in these two products. If only she'd bridge that gap with a neutral fair shade.....

I love this stuff! I have this in Pure Honey. This is better than Bare Escentuals mineral powder. It's not heavy, but it makes my skin look a lot better! It is a little pricey, but even with daily use, this will last you a while. One lasted me about a year, and I quickly went to repurchase another!

The best mineral foundation on the market out of all the brands, drugstore to high end. The mineral powder is finely milled, feels silky smooth to the touch, goes on smoothly, covers well (and can be built up in layers for areas needing more coverage) and feels like you're not wearing makeup at all.

LOVE this. Best Mineral Powder I have found so far. Not as dull as others I've tried and great natural coverage. Also seems to almost illuminate the skin which is lovely. Definitely won't be moving from this one for quite some time - though quite expensive I could just about justify it because I love the look of it.
