Be at the opening of Kneehigh classic
Posted: May 23, 2013|
FIRST performed in 2006 at Restormel Castle, Tristan & Yseult is one of Kneehigh's best-loved – and critically acclaimed – shows.
Since then it has toured to places as diverse as the Eden Project, the National Theatre, Sydney Festival, the New Zealand International Arts Festival, and Spoleto Festival in South Carolina.
For this new tour, six years after it was last staged, Kneehigh will visit three key partner venues in the UK – West Yorkshire Playhouse, the Hall for Cornwall (June 25 to 29) and Bristol Old Vic – before heading off to the States, where they have recently had fantastic success with The Wild Bride.
As well as returning to the Berkeley Rep theatre in San Francisco, this show will also be going to The Guthrie in Minneapolis and the Chicago Shakespeare theatre.
The company will be in America from November until April.
Reviving this classic show is no small task and the company will be bedded down at the Kneehigh barns in Gorran Haven for the next month, reinventing and breathing new life into the ancient Cornish story of love, loss, and betrayal.
As with their recent revival of The Wild Bride in New York, director Emma Rice will ensure that while the beauty and magic of the show is retained, the show evolves and adapts to the new company.
Several of the original cast are returning: Tristan Sturrock (Brief Encounter), whose one-man show Mayday Mayday has just finished a much-lauded run in New York, will be playing the part of the enigmatic Tristan, and Mike Shepherd, founder and co-artistic director of Kneehigh, reprises his role as the Cornish King Mark.
Giles King and Craig Johnson also return as King Mark's right-hand man Frocin and Yseult's long-suffering 'lady'-in-waiting Brangian. They are joined by Kneehigh musicians Stu Barker and Ian Ross.
Carly Bawden (My Fair Lady, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) will be Whitehands, and Yseult, the beautiful and tragic heroine, will be played by Patrycja Kujawska (The Red Shoes, The Wild Bride).
As well as Tristan & Yseult, another of Kneehigh's best-loved shows is making a comeback this year. Brief Encounter will tour Australia from September to December, and then goes on to the new Wallis Annenberg Centre in LA and The Shakespeare Theatre in Washington in the spring of next year.
Paul Crewes, chief executive and executive producer of Kneehigh, said: "It is amazing to take our work to audiences around the world who respond so positively and passionately.
"Working with new collaborators in Australia and America brings a fresh energy and spirit to the work. Developing those relationships is very productive and opens up many opportunities for the future.
"To see our work performed in Bogata, Sao Paulo, New York, Sydney and San Francisco as well as the UK, is very fulfilling and inspiring."
To celebrate the return of Tristan & Yseult, What's On has two pairs of tickets to give away to the opening night at the Hall for Cornwall on June 25. To win, tell us who performs the song Love Letter, which appears in the show. Is it:
The Birthday Party
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Answers, marked Tristan, to email@example.com by Wednesday, May 29, complete with contact details. Alternatively send them by post to Lee Trewhela, What's On, Highwater House, City Wharf, Malpas Road, Truro, TR1 1QH. See Notices for terms and conditions.

The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. to Exhibit at 2012 Geneva Motor Show
The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan) is a global manufacturing and sales company of premium tires since 1917, and is the parent company of Fullerton, California-based Yokohama Tire Corporation.
February 15, 2012
Tokyo - The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., announced today that it will participate in the 82nd Geneva Motor Show in Geneva, Switzerland. The show will run from March 6 through March 18, 2012 (March 6 and 7 will be press days). Yokohama Rubber will exhibit new two products, coordinated with their release in Europe that month, and will also present its concept for the tire of the future.
Those new products are the standard model BluEarth AE-01 from the fuel-efficient passenger-car tire series BluEarth, and next-generation SUV tires – GEOLANDAR SUV – with improved fuel efficiency. Both were developed based on the BluEarth concept of "being human and socially friendly combined with improvements to environmental performance." In addition to their low fuel consumption, safety and comfort have also been enhanced. From Yokohama's global flagship brand ADVAN, used as original equipment tires on many of the world's premium automobiles, the ADVAN Sport V105, ADVAN S.T. and others will be displayed.
Yokohama's concept tire for the future adopts "Nature Design" inspired by forms and phenomena existing in the natural environment. It will be shown together with an electric formula car, the YOKOHAMA Formula EV X-01, produced by the Japan EV Club, with which Yokohama collaborates. In this way, Yokohama Rubber demonstrates its corporate commitment to pursuing driving pleasure while maintaining consideration for the environment and people – as well, of course, as its technical strengths allowing it to realize them.
With a history dating back to 1905, the Geneva Motor Show is one of the five largest motor shows in the world. Last year, 247 companies in the automotive industry took part and about 735,000 people attended. This will be Yokohama Rubber's 10th consecutive year of participation in the show, starting in 2003.

I was recently driving down a street in my neighborhood and I saw, parked on the street, like everything was completely normal, a late-model Ford F-150 painted bright yellow. Bright. Yellow.

The person ultimately responsible for choosing colors for BMW cars, Sandy McGill, the other day attributed today's popularity of white cars to the influence of Apple on consumers and designers.
Prior to Apple, white was associated with things like refrigerators or the tiles in your bathroom. Apple made white valuable.
McGill's claims at first glance seem to be backed up by DuPont's annual Color Popularity Report for 2011 that shows that 22% of new cars sold in the world were white, tied with silver. However, if you look at the historical data, white and lighter colors have been increasing in popularity for decades, long before Apple embraced white as their primary (no pun intended) design color.

Why you don't shake Kombucha and other IF rules
Well my quick experiment with a 3 day fast is officially over and sometimes I just think my life is a TV sitcom that just hasn't been picked up yet. I learned some important things about myself and other lessons to use from this point on.
- Fasting feels like it does speed up healing - Of course this is all just speculation as I would have to go back in time, clone myself and put us each on different protocols to see which had a better recovery rate. Although I do feel that while my wrist injury is probably serious enough not to be gone in a couple of days, I have gotten back to more mobility and will go play hockey on Sunday (taped up of course). I want to believe that by taking a fast my body was able to send more of it's life energy/enzymes (or whatever you want to call it) to repair the damage done (as that is what the body does, it repairs itself. A doctor doesn't heal a broken leg, he just sets it in a cast and lets the body do the rest of the work)
- Water Fasting is pretty harsh for anything over 24hours - With my lack of real planning and running around, I ended up water fasting for like 40 hours which really was not something I enjoyed. If I do any longer fasting tries in the future it will be more juice based to keep the energy levels up, not just water.
- My stomach shrunk – Whether it was water bloating or inflammation in the gut that died down, the biggest thing I noticed was my stomach flattening/coming in more. Even if I tried to stick it out on purpose (which we have all done), it just wouldn't go out that far. This is a good thing considering all the vital digestive organs in the area, so less pressure on them the better they will be. I don't believe there was really any significant fat loss in that day or two involved, but just look around and see how many people have a more "bloated" look to their stomach. That's not a good thing.
- Never shake up Kombucha – Ok, here's the sitcom part. I was still water fasting at 40hours when I just knew I needed to get back into juice or something for energy. So I went to the local Whole Foods. Most of the "juices" were high in sugar and not something I really wanted. But I found this product called Kombucha which was a fermented tea low in sugar and loaded with enzymes and probiotics. I never heard of it and thought it was perfect. Well like most natural juices, I saw the sediment on the bottom and shook it up. As I was driving away in my car, I put the bottle between my legs and opened it up. (Insert your laugh now here) Needless to say the 20min ride home in soaking wet boxers was much enjoyable….considering the fact that I needed to stop to fill the car up with gas too. Yes folks, don't shake Kombucha.
- Food just tastes so much better – After water fasting for so long, the first thing I did have was a grape (1 grape from the sample tray at Whole Foods). I can honestly say that it was the best grape I have ever tasted in my life and I had to sit down as I almost had a "When Harry Met Sally" moment (for those not familiar….I am sure there is a YouTube clip out there that will explain it).
- If you do a longer fast, start with juices and stock up – As I noticed the last thing you want to do while fasting is to walk through a supermarket where everything seems to just come to life and call your name. Not a good thing if you think you might cave in.
- While a longer fast 1-2x a year may do good, most should start with IF - Why do I say this? Because long fasts are not easy. That and it can be very harsh for those that have never done it before. I found this interesting quote yesterday that pretty much sums it up: ""Although there seems to be a recent resurgent trend of fasting in Japan, fasting is something that has existed throughout history in almost every culture. However, the people of this day and age seem to be more susceptible to the risks presented by fasting. The reason for this may be due to a gradual change of body constitution caused by modernization. In general, modern man seems to be physically weaker than their ancestral counterparts. So in many cases, a fasting method that completely abstains from all foods may at times be hazardous. With this in mind, the "Half Fasting" serves as a safer method for a wider variety of people, since it involves the use of food, although minimal."
- Remember, IF is not about starving yourself - So yes you can eat, but get your food from quality sources and enjoy it. Nothing tastes as sweet as natural fruits or a nice juicy steak. Enjoy natural flavors again and you will not crave processed foods loaded with unnatural sugar.
Well there you have it, some lessons learned and you don't even have to get your pants soaked to learn them (glad I could help out).
To end and start off the weekend….it's not IF, but you have to like at least somewhere a town is taking charge and trying to keep people alive longer….it's a step in the right direction! Enjoy!
Cemetery full, mayor tells locals not to die (from Reuters)
"BORDEAUX, France (Reuters) – The mayor of a village in southwest France has threatened residents with severe punishment if they die, because there is no room left in the overcrowded cemetery to bury them. In an ordinance posted in the council offices, Mayor Gerard Lalanne told the 260 residents of the village of Sarpourenx that "all persons not having a plot in the cemetery and wishing to be buried in Sarpourenx are forbidden from dying in the parish." It added: "Offenders will be severely punished." The mayor said he was forced to take drastic action after an administrative court in the nearby town of Pau ruled in January that the acquisition of adjoining private land to extend the cemetery would not be justified.Lalanne, who celebrated his 70th birthday on Wednesday and is standing for election to a seventh term in this month's local elections, said he was sorry that there had not been a positive outcome to the dilemma. "It may be a laughing matter for some, but not for me," he said."

Thanks for the heads up will be watching tomorrow's show
All I can say is WOW! Lane hasn't been written for like this in so long. I thoroughly enjoyed the show today! Lily was Awesome. I am so glad they are giving her the opportunity shine. Tptb went out to find an actress who they thought could play the B!tch role (Hilary) well and all the time they had Christel there. She was just all kinds of perfect today. Love my Lily and Cane!
ITA! The members of the cast are so much stonger actors than the newbies! Loved today's US episode and I will be watching tomorrow's also. Thanks to JG! I can understand the Creative Differences he has w/ JFP! Hope there will be more episodes like this one to come. You done good, JG! I love LANE!
Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find that you have crossed the mountain. — Unknown
Loved today's episode! Way to go, Cane & Lily Ashby! I am so glad that the two of you are working together this time. Luv you much and I will holler at you again later.
Quote MsSuperSuds:
Quote shalaydra75:
Quote shalaydra75: Suds, this really has nothing to do with Neil. This is writers mandate to break up Lane and minimize Cane as long as he is with Lily. They do not care how they do it. I know I got close to being booted out of the Lane thread in the CBS forum because I talked about racism a lot. It may happen again, but I still contend that the writers are responded to posters and critics who will not accept a powerful white man married to, in love with and have children by a black wife-Period. I am a child of business owners, and I have worked with charities, I know for a fact that businesses love advertisement, which Lane fans provide Y&R. Critics and TPTB can talk all day and all night, they will never convince me that if Lily was white and Lane fans were providing free advertisement that TBTP would not be heavily promoting them. Some people rave about Scandal being a game changer, but Olivia is only a mistress. From the earliest history of this country, powerful white men have had black mistresses, but not wives. I do hope that I am blowing hot air and that I am wrong as 2 left shoes.
I am so glad I was blowing out hot air. Go Lane!!!
Blowing out hot air is good! I do it all the time. It relieves a lot of tensions, stresses, apprehensions, and most of all--a lot of misinterpretations. Besides all we have ever gotten from both MAB & now JFP is muzzling and "dumbing down" of Cane & Lily to introduce and promote other characters--mostly newbies. Hopefully my favorite couple will finally get to be written as adults who know how to think, reason, speak and defend themselves against these other folks. I know what thats like b/c I have had to put quite a few folks on notice, too.
Thanks for understanding. I also luv feisty Lily. I will enjoy tomorrow's episode.
:) YES....THANK-YOU JG....both Lane and their fans needed and deserved this......loved the recaps.....and I will not only watch the show I will DVR it
Morning love and support for the best couple in Daytime Mr and Mrs Cane and Lily Ashby.
I am going to revel in this moment for Lane!! This is the Lane that attracted my attention and started my viewing of this show.
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand – and melting like a snow flake. — M.B. Ray
Hey Lily & Cane Ashby! You made me smile today! Glad that you worked together to take care of this nagging she-devil who has entered your world. Good show on yesterday! Watching the two of your work your magic is like having a swoosh of a fresh fall breeze sweep thru my atmosphere. Luv you much and I will holler at you again ASAP. Have a great day.
Lane fans-I think it is a wonderful idea to contact tptb to let them know we enjoyed the last 2 episodes. Hopefully, they will continue on this path.
Love and support for the best couple in Daytime the detectives Mr and Mrs Cane and Lily Ashbys the 007 of YR.
Desiderius Erasmus: "Prevention is better than cure."
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is the way this same adage was stated to me as I was growing up. So glad it applies to LANE b/c I simply could not go thru another one of those separations. The longing looks, the desires and the attempts at ignoring each other are just too much for me to bear again. I would just have to walk away for as long as it lasted. Anyway, I am glad that did not happen. Seeing Lily and Cane work together to save their marriage & family is a good thing. Seeing them written as thinking, feeling, speaking and acting as intelligent & mature adults is another good thing. I simply cannot thank JG enough for getting this ball rolling. Luv you much, Ashby family; and I hope to see you on screen more often ASAP. Have a great Friday.

New Haven, Connecticut (January 29, 2010) -- Atticus Bookstore-Café in downtown New Haven was the setting last Thursday night for the opening of Wall Art, an exhibition of the photography of Philip Rubin. Proceeds from the sale of these documentary photos are being donated to IRIS - Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services, a New Haven-based charitable organization.
The opening event raised more than $2,500 for IRIS according to Atticus Manager Jean Recapet. "The engaging photo art created an upbeat mood among the café patrons", Mr. Recapet reported, "We are optimistic that the exhibit, which will remain at Atticus for four more weeks, will continue to have a significant positive effect on the IRIS budget."IRIS Executive Director Chris George is grateful for the contributions, especially now, in the midst of an economic recession. "With charitable giving reduced and unemployment at such high levels, we are indebted to photographer Philip Rubin, and places like Atticus, that, along with their customers and employees, do so much for so many good causes".IRIS welcomes and resettles refugees forced to flee their home countries because of persecution, and are invited by the US government to start new lives in Connecticut.Atticus, a landmark bookstore and café located in the theater district in New Haven, regularly provides a venue for non-profit events. Philip Rubin's photo exhibition will continue at Atticus through Feb. 21. For more information call (203) 776-4040, or visit atticusbookstorecafe.com
Photo Caption:Atticus Bookstore & Café in downtown New Haven is currently showing the photography of Philip Rubin, a cognitive scientist, corporate executive, and visual artist whose photos from around the world portray temporal themes as vivid images of walls and architectural spaces.###

James Worthy says Heat still have advantage over Lakers
Sep 24, 2012, 7:04 PM EDT
There is a segment of the Lakers nation out there that seems think they have Oklahoma City in the bag. Not a problem. Even though the Thunder took the Lakers out in five games last year (don't get me started on the L.A. convinced they should have won that series). The Lakers have upgraded and those fans are now looking past an improved Thunder team to the Heat.
Where they may not have an advantage either.
Don't take my word for it, take the word of James Worthy, Lakers legend and studio analyst for the team on their new Time Warner Cable SportsNet network (speaking to the Los Angeles Times, hat tip to SLAM).
I would have to say Miami still has a little edge simply because they won last year. It will be so much easier for them to win again because they know how to do it. With them adding Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, they have tremendous scorers and three-point shooters off the bench. Then they also have the greatest player in the game with LeBron James. I give them the edge because they're defending champions.
Okay, how about the Thunder vs. Lakers, Big Game James?
Oklahoma City is younger. But with Dwight in at the same time with Pau, with Steve Nash, that makes a big difference. Last year, Ramon Sessions was young. Before Howard, the Lakers were second or third in the West. But with getting a 38-year-old point guard that still has some left and bringing in a franchise player, that puts them right back at the top. I don't think too many people will bet against the Lakers against anybody in the West, assuming they're a healthy team. But they still have to make it happen.
The Thunder are going to be better, too. Because they are young and still improving, because they have the experience of having been to the finals and lost (that made Kevin Durant more hungry). The matchup challenges go both ways — Steve Nash can't handle Russell Westbrook (and Kobe can't be on Westbrook when James Harden is on the floor). Kendrick Perkins will go after Dwight Howard. OKC will struggle to stop Kobe Bryant, because everybody struggles to stop Kobe Bryant.
It's fair to say that the Lakers, Thunder and Heat are the three best teams in the league heading into the season. I can grant you that. From there it's a coin toss, at least right now. Saying one has an advantage over another before training camp opens is premature, to say the least. It will be premature until around the All-Star break, when the Lakers have had time to come together and we see how the Heat and Thunder are playing.
Until then it's a fun barstool argument. Nothing more. No matter who is making the observations.

Same here. I don't see anything wrong with what Worthy is trying to say. O.o

Big Game James just deflecting some of the attention away from the Lakeshow so they won't have as big a target on their back. It's all psycology. Good job!
Ahhh pauly….lol…this guy^! Up to his cute little antics again, it's his schtick. PBT wouldn't be the same without your Laker trolling ways, my friend. Always good for a laugh, keep up the good work, it's adorable!

Trolls VS some rott gutt-cheap maltliquor and fly larvae…..U'm rolling with the trolls !
In one breath, Faker fans are staking claims, they are the favorite in the West. In the same confused breath, they want to claim they are the underdog….take more antidepressants !
Somebody has gotta pour out that sour liquor and spray some pesticides to prevent the spread of the drunken and infected Faker fans.

Oh sh!t son!, progress, is that you? Maaan, it's been a while my dude, where have you been hidding, underneath paulyh's nutsacks? Good to see you're still around! I missed you! Hey, Fakers…say, that's pretty original, did you come up with that yourself? Man, that's pretty clever. Go ahead and pat yourself on the vag' for that.
Hey, by the way, what you got against maltliquor? Can't hang with the big boys? Gotta stick to your Mike's Hard? Your Smirnoff? your Appletini's? It's all good broski, we cool! Don't get too bent out of shape, don't want your daddy Paul to the H to get mad at me for getting you in that position! Oh, uhh , wait (you got a little something on your chin there buddy)…yeh, yeah, you got it off.

Gazooks, progress. You're really a character, I tell you.
Fakers? LMAO! Really, it doesn't compute. 16 vs 2… with those two not even a back-to-back.
But ONE-HEAT WONDERS? LOL! That's right between the eyes.
- anythingbutyanks - Sep 24, 2012 at 7:59 PM
I really want to watch James driving the uncrowded lanes that he'll be seeing with Allen and Lewis on the court and taking it to Howard over and over again. Really…just beat the stuffing out of Howard for at least one game.
- bozosforall - Sep 24, 2012 at 11:01 PM
James will be too busy abusing the old Boston Puh Cs during the regular season.
- miamatt - Sep 25, 2012 at 7:47 AM
Yet another complete non-story. This is why they play the games.
This season can't possibly start soon enough.
- paulhargis53 - Sep 25, 2012 at 8:42 AM
progress: They are, fish. in. a. barrel.
They can't help responding…..too funny.
- Foul Dwimmerlaik - Sep 25, 2012 at 10:32 AM
I don't get it, paul. Your first post indicates that you're expecting a lot of Laker fans go ballistic just because Worthy thinks that the Heat has the edge (although little, he claims) over the Lakers.
Guess what? Many of us Laker fans do not have a reading disability as you anticipate that we will do some knee-jerk reaction without even reading or understand what Worthy was trying to say.
And now, where's that vitriol from Laker fans directed at Worthy? Nada. May-mee. Mei-yo. Nas-hi. Keiner. Wala.
Why shouldn't we respond in the first place? Who said anything that we think the Lakers are underdogs? Progress, dude, you put too much meaning in what the others wrote. Methinks you are one of them paul was referring to: reading disability. You know what that means? XP
Simple really. OKC are WC Champs. Heat are the NBA Champs. They are SUPPOSED to be the teams to beat by default.
- Foul Dwimmerlaik - Sep 25, 2012 at 11:05 AM

- progress2011 - Sep 26, 2012 at 12:32 AM
Paul, you are correct….Ahahahah !
It's not even psych 101. More like psych for the mentally challenged.
We can just say anthing to get the 50-60 faker fans to swarm. Ex: Those are some terrible, ugly mustard and girlie purple uniforms the over-rated, fakers wear. Plus the wanna-be like mike, ball-hog can't walk on the same side of the street as M.J., let alone walk in his shoes.
watch, how many thumbs down this draws…ahahahaha !!!
- Foul Dwimmerlaik - Sep 26, 2012 at 12:25 PM
Regress2011, you can't even make a decent rebuttal on an argument slapped against your clearasil face. When faced with conflict that they can't intelligently put up with, doofuses like you resort to ad hominems instead. You prolly haven't even finished highschool, little boy. Don't even try to pretend you're aptly educated.Talk about mentally challenged… lol!
Give me one franchise at least in the past 30 years that has been more consistently successful than the Lakers. You can't say the Bulls. They were only SIGNIFICANTLY great for roughly a decade at the most. Spurs? Did they even get to defend their crown at least once? Celtics? Aside from Russell's teams has the franchise defended any of their crowns?
16 rings 32 Final appearances = overrated? ROFLMAO!!! Of course! You sure have a funny way of using the word "overrated." Who is your teacher in vocabulary? Do you know what overrated means? What a pretender. You keep on using words you don't even know what they truly mean. So freakin' pathetic.
If the Lakers are overrated what does that imply then to the rest of the teams?
Try again little boy. Apparently you have been exposed to the kind of fake brain that you have …
Some bottom feeder in a quagmire full of bovine fecal matter. LMFAO!!!
- progress2011 - Sep 26, 2012 at 8:40 PM
ahahahahaha….Paul, it's too easy !!!
Foul Dimwit has gone on a tangent…about his "overrated" FAKERS, in the plastic city, home of MC Hammer & them infamous baggy pants, MC Hammer and kobe fake wanna-be like MJ, Harlem Globetrotter.
Aren't Hammer and kobe cousins or something…or atleast like minded fashion-ista's !
Oldman bad knee's kobe, Gandpa-bad back Nash and Wonder Woman bad back howard are gonna get RAN OUTTA THE GYM !!!!
I can't wait, til the season starts…so I can rub faker fans nose in the 'ish, eeeryday ! About the "overrated" FAKERS ….FAKER !

They call it, "Stand, Stop Threats, Abuse and Negativity. Do Something!" It's about bullying - and two local high school students say they've had enough.
Now, they're spreading their message to their classmates. That's why they're this week's Hometown Heroes. "So many stories you hear about people committing suicide and people being afraid to attend school."
That's exactly why Sadie Herrera and Kaylee Miller are taking a stand.
"Last year APS reported cases of bullying and a little more in our school," said Kaylee Miller, a junior at Highland High School.
As part of a class project, the girls created an anti-bullying video to share with their classmates.
Their message is strong.
"We just want to spread the message to our school; APS; to show that we're standing up to try and help this cause," said Kaylee.
Sadie added, "Show people the different forms and show people that this isn't right." Kaylee and Sadie's teacher, Debi Cline, says the girls are showing their classmates the power of one.
"They must take a stand," Cline said.
"If they don't do anything to make something stop, then that inaction is in fact saying it's OK."
The girls are asking others to join in their stand against bullying. They've set up a booth to collect signatures of students willing to join in their fight.

South African Freedom Songs
by Rachel Devitt | November 29, 2013
The struggle against the heinous apartheid system in South Africa was one waged on multiple fronts. Music was one of the most important. Freedom anthems, protest songs, odes to Nelson Mandela, even just traditional lullabies and folk songs buoyed and unified freedom fighters and South Africans suffering under the atrocities of apartheid. And musicians themselves were very involved in the fight, often serving as a voice of the movement (sometimes from exile): Artists like Vusi Mahlasela and Hugh Masekela recorded open protest anthems, while others, like "Mama Africa" Miriam Makeba and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, engaged in resistance by simply singing about peace and recording folk songs from Xhosa, Swazi, Zulu and other traditions.
Next year will mark the 20th anniversary of the 1994 overthrow of apartheid, but the legacy of both the oppressive system and its dismantling continues to weigh heavily on the hearts and minds of South Africa and the world. The new movie Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (starring Idris Elba as Nelson Mandela) revisits the life of the great freedom fighter and former president, including his tireless anti-apartheid work and his role as an icon of hope. It will be widely released over Thanksgiving weekend, so what better time to also revisit some of the moving music from the anti-apartheid movement? Our playlist of South African freedom songs begins with one of the first anthems of the movement, "Beware, Verwoerd," a powerful warning issued to the architect of apartheid by songwriter/activist Vuyisile Mini (who was hung for his protest songs). And we end with "Nkosi Sikelel'iAfrika" ("Lord bless Africa" in Xhosa), the song that began as a hymn, went on to become the anthem of the African National Congress during apartheid and is now the national anthem of South Africa. Amandla!

A Tremere Chantry is a gathering place for the Clan, and in times of need, a resource many would give up just about anything to have. They are the vehicle for the Tremere to access to magical supplies and books. But more than that, the Chantry is the physical manifestation of the Tremere, mysterious and yet strangely obvious to see. That's what makes it spooky.

Gear Question
This is a question about the updated...
This is a question about the updated version. Has anyone had any problems with the back panel of the suspension? Specifically, there is a black bar that runs horizontally across the top of the suspension that is used to access the torso adjustment panel. This bar rubs against my back pretty badly especially when the pack is close to my back. Has anyone had or heard of this type of problem before? I have tried adjusting the torso but that does not help. If anyone has any suggestions on how to possibly make this situation better please let me know.
Steve Chapman
I have a bunch of Osprey packs and have not heard of this problem but one the good things about Osprey is their warranty and customer service. Give the factory a call. They WILL work it out and make sure you're happy. Osprey customer service ROCKS!

Kris Kross And Xscape, 20 Years Later
"Cause I'm the miggity, miggity, miggity, miggity Mac Daddy."
If you remember jamming to Xscape and Kris Kross then you are definitely showing your age.
It's been 20 years since 90's rap duo Kris Kross hit the scene with their hit song, "Jump" all while wearing backwards jeans and their famous plaits hair style, and now they have been reunited again. The Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac are set to hit the stage for the first time in years as part of So So Def's 20th Anniversary concert that will take place in Atlanta next month. So So Def was launched by Jermaine Dupri in 1993 and was responsible for the successful careers of Xscape, Jagged Edge and Bow Wow to name a few. The label is also credited for assisting in birthing the music and entertainment scene that is thriving in Atlanta today.
You can catch performances from most of the label's past and present acts on February 23rd at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, however a full-on Xscape reunion is highly unlikely. There is major tension between the ladies and as a result, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle and Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss skipped the press conference and have no plans to attend the concert next month.
Catch a few pics from the So So Def reunion press conference and some throwback videos below:
Sisters Latocha and Tamika Scott of Xscape with So So Def artist Dondria.
Jagged Edge and Pastor Troy
So So Def artists Bone Crusher and Da Brat as well as Bryan-Michael Cox were also spotted on the scene this past Monday at the So So Def 20th Anniversary press conference.

Party tips bring cash rewards
Crime Stoppers seeks to combat teenage drinking
Teens can be rewarded next school year for tipping police about parties with underage drinking.
Crime Stoppers is setting up a "Party Busters" hotline as part of a city effort to curb underage drinking. Posters should be up in area middle schools and high schools by this fall, Corpus Christi Police Cmdr. U.B. Alvarado said.
Police are targeting adults who buy alcohol for their children and their friends and allow parties on their property. Parents could receive fines or jail time and be liable for anyone who left the party drunk, Alvarado said.
"It is a growing problem," he said. "Adults have a misconception about their responsibility. A lot of people feel it's safer for their children to be home drinking with their buddies."
The Party Busters hotline rewards are not set yet, but the money won't be as much as regular Crime Stoppers tips, police said. Party Busters is part of a larger program the city is setting up to enforce underage drinking laws and educate teens and their parents. On Tuesday, City Council members approved grants to area school districts and alcohol prevention groups. The program is funded through a $35,702 grant from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and $21,345 in city money.
"We just can't handle the enforcement alone," Acting Police Chief Ken Bung said. "We need to get the parents involved. We need to educate the community."
Adan Zamora, Miller High School student and chairman of the Corpus Christi Youth Advisory Committee, said curbing underage drinking will take a lot of effort.
"As many parties as there are throughout the year, there's drugs or alcohol at almost every one of them," he said.

Was the .44 Mag. EVER the "Most Powerful Handgun?"
The Quote
In the 1971 Clint Eastwood movie "Dirty Harry," the San Francisco detective spoke one of the most memorable lines in cinematic history:
"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"
The Facts
The Smith & Wesson Model 29 chambered in .44 Remington Magnum was introduced in 1955 after the experiments of Elmer Keith with the .44 Special convinced C.R. Hellstrom at S&W and C.G. Peterson of Remington to produce the cartridge. The load used a 240 gr. bullet at 1,350 fps and nothing available to consumers at the time even came close. Though hardly a new cartridge in 1971 when Dirty Harry recited his famous line, that film is certainly responsible for much of the .44 Magnum's mainstream popularity.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were just friends, hanging out in a film studio making a skit for a television pilot. Many love stories start out that way. Apparently Yeezy was set to appear with fellow hip-hop star Rhymefest in a show called Alligator Boots, a comedy series featuring puppets. For some tragic reason that we'll never understand, the show never made it to air. How did this get the axe, while Keeping Up With The Kardashians just wrapped it's 7th season?! We'll take it as yet another example of how life isn't fair.
Thankfully, some footage of the 2008 shoot still exists, and it amusingly depicts Kanye and future lady-love Kim doing a scene together. The pair are decked out in Star Wars attire, with Kanye as a Stormtrooper (sans helmet) and Kim as a very convincing princess Leia, complete with Return Of The Jedi bikini. Oh, and there's a puppet. Yeah, we don't really get it either. But Kim relived the memories yesterday as she posted a picture from the shoot to her twitter for Throwback Thursday. Maybe she was looking for some outfit inspiration for Halloween parties this weekend. That would be a pretty killer couples costume if you ask us. Bring it back!
Kim has always been one to go all out for the spookiest holiday of the year. Check out some of her hottest Halloween looks in the gallery below!

The FCC voted to place restrictions on Joint Sales Agreements for television.
The move was expected; we previously reported new Chairman Tom Wheeler wanted to pattern television JSAs like radio JSAs, and make it harder for one company to control two or more TV stations in the same market by using a single advertising sales staff.
Wheeler has argued that joint sales agreements have been used by larger broadcast companies to circumvent limits of owning more than one station in local markets and should be seen as possible violations of the media ownership rules.
The new rule mandates that if one station sells 15% or more of advertising time of a competing station's, then that ownership stake is "attributable" and "counts" under the media ownership rules — just like radio.
Stations can apply for waivers and the commission has 90 days to act on those.
The vote was 3–2 along party lines.
In a scathing dissension, Commissioner Ajit Pai called the issue "the most unfortunate item I have encountered" since coming to the agency in 2012. He took the commission to task for not acting on the 2010 iteration of the media ownership quadrennial review; 2010 is now being rolled into the one being launched today.
Pai also doesn't like that the television JSA issue was singled out for action by the chairman, noting that JSAs promote localism and diversity. He would have preferred to see the commission eliminate the newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership bans and said the courts would be justified to order the FCC to remove the rules from the books.
"It's disappointing the FCC would take this action without first completing its 2010 statutorily-mandated media ownership review," said NAB EVP Communications Dennis Wharton, who called the decision to focus solely on TV JSAs "arbitrary and capricious."
I'm confused on this one. In the Toledo market, WTOL runs everything for WUPW, right down to all technical aspects and news - it would appear to be more of a merger than a JSA - is it that in smaller markets you CAN do that, or will this be non-permissible under this ruling?

GW2....love it. Wish I never took a break from the game.
Graphics are always down to personal taste, but GW2 looks better than any other MMO i've ever played. The art and environment just click with me.
How GW2 has developed over the past yr? As a returning player, the story arc with new content and events coming in every few weeks has been outstanding.
I don't know how, but I enjoy the PvE in this more than MMO's focusing more on PvE. You just have 1 quest line to follow, sick of having 30 quests listed on the right side of my UI.
The races give you multiple starting zones and if you don't like one, you can just jump into a different one because they are lvl 1-15.
I enjoy trying to complete zones (POI, Vistas, Heart Quests (varying things to do, not just kill 10 of this etc), Jumping Puzzles) and then you have those dynamic events that pop up and everyone works together to complete them. Dailies are cool and I like how they change up the requirements daily.
Haven't been back to PvP since the beginning, but once I settle with my new guild I plan on partaking in it again.
Why write this? I don't know, figured I'd give props to the game. ESO, Wildstar, SWTOR and a slew of other MMO's have been so disappointing, that I really didn't realize how great GW2 was till I returned to it.
But there is one main reason this game has probably appealed to me, ease of play. I'm an older gamer, family etc and my job requires a lot of my time. GW2 is great for my casual play. I just log in , do a daily, LFG a dungeon, do some champs, work on map completion or try and complete the living world events.
The combat is...how can I put it...easy but complex ? There aren't 30 skills to worry about but the weapon swamping, trait setup , utility skills and combos really give you enough tactical variations to make it interesting. Plus, the combat is very fast moving, I love rushing into battle , hack and slash, and then dodging to safety. It really flows nicely.
Kind of funny, I returned after a yr and didn't even have to worry about upgrading my gear. I could just get back to playing and doing content. Now some love the gear grind thing, but I don't have time for that anymore.
GW2 is the perfect MMO for casual gamers. Hardcore 20 man raid dungeons, maybe not, but for me, its a perfect balance.
Cheers all.

Glad you enjoy the game.
I'm on disability right now following surgery and I've been scrambling around trying to find something to pass the time with.
I just can't get into GW2. I log in, kill a few NPC's, and then find myself wondering what I'm doing and why. Maybe I need a Guild and people to play with. I feel like that's what's missing.

Here is my SWTOR trial link for anyone who has time to waste and doesn't mind being exposed to MMORPG design at its worst.

Yea, I know what you mean. There isn't really much direction. No next gear tier etc. No carrot on the stick.
I'm sorta playing it as a sandbox game. Kind of do whatever I want. Its funny, but because there is no major endgame or continuous quest line, I find myself just having fun leveling new toons and ,dare to say, working on their cosmetics lol.
Its actually quite refreshing because I feel no pressure to grind or do the same dungeons over and over again for a drop.
I enjoy just exploring the lands, visiting the vistas and trying to complete all the jumping puzzles.
So without direction, what am I doing?
I'm trying to learn 6 different character classes. Become better at playing them and perfecting builds that I enjoy playing while making them more effective.
I keep trying to amass gold to buy the equipment for different builds to test.
Also, love exploring everything and even enjoy some of the story lines of the different races.
I think the issue most people have with MMO's is the gear grind. If you take that away, they forget to just enjoy the world. For me, the gear grind had finally started me turning me off from games. Remove that grind and now i'm actually enjoying my gaming experience more.
But I totally understand your view.

To busy playing GW2 to post much around here... *shrug*
It's the best casual MMO out there, it looks great, no rush, no building your life around a game. Perfect for a working person with a family who can only afford to spend so much time on a game. Just leveled my 8th toon to 80, did some sPvP, some WvW solo or just follow the zerg for brainless fun.
I don't need raids, being standby just for a chance to be in the raid, so you can get the DKP's to be eligable for some gear that just might drop, at least if nobody ninjas it and subsequently gets kicked from the guild only to join another guild and get his shinies faster than you. The next tier of gear is just around the corner anyway, why bother?
I don't need all the drama, just looking for a good time, and GW2 is the ticket for me.

I stuck with GW2 so long because it doesn't force you down a linear path. There are multiple areas to choose from when leveling. It's amazing that many people don't want freedom...I just don't understand it.

Last developer to do that was Turbine with Asheron's Call, and that was over 10 years ago. About time another developer tries that recipe.
Playing now: WoW, Landmark, GW2, The Crew, SotA
Top 3 MMORPGs played: UO, AC1 and WoW
Honorable mentions: AO, LotRO, SW:TOR and GW2.

Back in the day I was really put off by lack of progression. Playing it recently I have found there is actually a LOT of progression with different builds. So this is where you are wrong about gear grind. This game has TONS of gear grind! You just didn't recognize it because you are enjoying the game. Other people might not recognize also it if they aren't fanatic about trying every build out there for a perfect match.

This game hasn't won multiple awards for no reason, it's a great game. It may not be everything that everyone wants, but it is gorgeous, has loads to do and is the best value for the money of any game out. I love it myself alot.

GW2 socialist.
Glad you're still enjoying it. So am I. I took a few months off and when I came back I wondered why I ever left. In the meantime, I'd tried Rift (again), TERA (again), EVE (zzzzz) FFXIV:ARR (hilariously terrible game), Dragon's Prophet (meh), and a bunch of betas, including Steam games.
I grew up with linear single player RPG's, which is the main reason I keep coming back to MMO's, GW2 specifically. There's no "end". There are no raids. There are tons of other people to interact with. You do what you want, when you want, without worrying about a "Game Over" screen or re-gearing when the next patch/expansion comes out. I like collecting and killing primarily, and the game offers that in spades, as well as challenge in some pretty badass enemies (solo a Veteran Karka... no go ahead, really).
GW2 is the most sandbox fantasy-themed game I've played yet. Apart from the story that I didn't even have to do, I never felt like there were "rails" and I appreciate that games are expanding the way they are.
I'll just add that I really, REALLY hate certain parts of this game, mostly that skill point maze in Cursed Shore. If you've done map completion on a few characters there, you probably know what I mean. lol
Also, I think they could be a little more generous in leaving certain areas or features in instead of making them temporary, but as long as they keep replacing them with something else to do, it's not a deal breaker. It's a different kind of MMO, I've gotten used to it.

What? A fairly civil discussion about GW2 without name calling? Most of the previous posters have echoed my feelings about the game also. I was thinking this is a game that appeals to "olders" like me (mid 40s), but I have heard many younger people in voice so maybe not. It is defintely a casual player's MMO. For those people who love hard challenges in games and gear grinds, I understand their criticisms of the game. I believe that is a valid argument. I took a break from the game also and came back and jumped right in. No need to worry about my character being gimped or left behind!
I will talk about some of my misgivings about the gtame. It only seems fair after all these rosy comments.
I initially was excited about the LIving Story and the expectation of a story arc that persisted for a year with varied and interesting mechanics month after month. The reality is far from that for me, at least. After starting the story and pounding signs in to warn refugees back in the beginning, I was starting to get uneasy. When I looked at my panel and it said 10/250 or whatever the total signs you had to pound in was, I defintely turned around with regards Living Story. It just feels too grindy for me. Perhaps the most exciting element was the Destruction of Lion's Arch. That felt like meaningful change to the world , not the sign pounding mess. Players are still debating about what will happen to Lion's Arch. Personally, I can not believe the developer's will leave LA in the mess it is. I am sure it will involve us rebuilding LA , perhaps in the next story arc.
No actual expansion. At this point I was hoping for some more "real" content. For me this content would be another continent or huge zone to explore. GW2 is terrific with exploration but we need more going forward. I was hoping for some more permanent land mass at this point.
I still find this a pleasure to play and it remains my go to game after I get bored with all the new shinies!

I have a major love hate relationship with Guild Wars 2.
I love everything about the game.
I hate how it's ruined all other mmo's for me. There just isn't one out there I can find that compares.
And, at the moment I feel like a junkie without my fix. I was loving that new content every two weeks,
been going nuts for the last two months checking the website every few hours for a new content update. (LOL)
I still find plenty of things to do each day, but I still need my fix !

Usually after those 2 checks I tend to leave the game because it is not fluid enough.

I would take a break from checking the website before you go crazy. I thought they'd have season 2 out by now (About 3 months ago I thought that anyway), but I realized it'd take longer once they announced that Chinese living story will be synched up with the US.
They're not going to start up the living story again (Other than possibly filler, but they haven't even said anything about that) until at LEAST after May 15th which is the Chinese preorder headstart release date. :( ... and they had no announcement THIS Tuesday, so that leaves out next week, so yeah, not even really room for filler at this point. :) And they won't start on the 13th because that would chop the living story release date halfway through the preorder start. So that's May 20th at the EARLIEST, and possibly even the 27th if they decide to give China an extra week to catch up to level 80. :(

You always need a guild when you play mmo, I started to play GW2 solo but I got bored so me and a few friends started a guild. After the guild was made I "forced" some people at work to buy it and come play with us and now we have made even more friends.
The guild have expanded and there are always lots of people online and we do stuff together all the time. This makes all the difference in the world and I think this formula will work in every mmo.

Guerlain Gabrielle Le Rouge G de Guerlain Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches, Lip Swatches
Guerlain Gabrielle Le Rouge G de Guerlain Lipstick
Guerlain Gabrielle Le Rouge G de Guerlain Lipstick ($45.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a sheer, baby pink with soft shimmer. It's creamy in texture, and the formula keeps lips hydrated. This shade wears so-so; I get about three or four hours without having to reapply, but since it's lighter, once it starts to fade, it's more noticeable on me. It's not as opaque as I'd like, and it reminds me of the way MAC lustre lipsticks look on me (which I don't love). I wouldn't recommend this shade as the first Rouge G to own, just because it doesn't represent the lipstick as well as some of the other shades.
- Product: 28/30
- Value: 7/10
- Ease of Use: 4/5
- Packaging: 4/5
Availability: Nordstrom

McCrory adds to incoming Cabinet
North Carolina Gov.-elect Pat McCrory named a close political ally and a veteran business executive on Thursday to join his Cabinet, bringing outsiders to state government to tackle two complex agencies.
McCrory chose Dr. Aldona Wos of Greensboro to be his secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, while John Skvarla of Pinehurst will become secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. In addition to his first two Cabinet picks, McCrory said transition team executive director Thomas Stith will be his chief of staff after he gets sworn in Jan. 5.
The Republican McCrory said he'd like his entire eight-member Cabinet in place before taking his oath.
"I'm looking for talented individuals to join our team to run government in the most effective way possible," McCrory said at a news conference in Raleigh, saying he personally recruited the trio to join his administration. "Thomas, Aldona and John certainly meet those qualifications, and I am excited that they have agreed to be part of this team."
Wos, a physician and former U.S. ambassador to Estonia, also worked on McCrory's gubernatorial campaign as a fundraiser and leading the "Women for McCrory" movement. She's also been a leader on McCrory's transition team.
Wos will oversee the state health and human services agency, which spends more than 20 percent of the state's $20 billion annual budget. The agency manages several billion more dollars in federal funds, mostly associated with Medicaid, which already covers nearly 1.6 million residents. The agency could be on the verge of a large expansion if the state agrees to expand Medicaid coverage to more low-income people as part of the Affordable Care Act.
McCrory sought Wos for the job because he said she's extremely intelligent and is an outsider who won't be tied down to the agenda of interest groups seeking to influence the administration's health policy. She'll also advise him on federal health issues.
"We have presently many difficult challenges and coming our way are more difficult challenges," Wos said, but "they are really opportunities." Wos said she would work tirelessly to fulfill McCrory's vision. "We need to bring excellence, availability, accountability and affordability to those we serve," she added.
Skvarla currently is chief executive of Restoration Systems of Raleigh, which helps developers and other companies mitigate environmental losses caused by building projects by cleaning up and improving streams and wetlands. The mitigation projects meet requirements of state and federal regulators.
Under his tenure, Skvarla said, "the environment will be protected."
Still, McCrory's choice reflects a departure from recent DENR secretaries who've been career government employees or regulators. Skvarla has an extensive law and business career that includes investment banking and operating an all-cargo airline and chain of physical therapy centers.
McCrory said Skvarla reflects his view of walking "that fine line between continuing our economic prosperity while also protecting the quality of life and environment that brought many of us here." McCrory and other Republicans have said environmental regulations have become too much of an obstacle for business to grow. The GOP-led Legislature reduced spending within DENR in 2011 by 12 percent.
Skvarla "understands business growth and how to cut through red tape," McCrory said. "This is an entrepreneur who also understands the environment."
McCrory's choice of Stith to run the Governor's Office wasn't surprising since he's already been managing more than 20 people working to assemble the new administration. Stith is a former Durham City Council member who most recently worked at the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Skvarla, who is a registered unaffiliated voter, was the founder of a group that encouraged congressional candidates to pledge to give large amounts of their personal money to charity if they serve more time in Congress or a legislature than they promise. Wos is a native of Poland whose father survived a Nazi concentration camp in Germany. She served as ambassador to Estonia for two years during the administration of President George W. Bush.
Stith, who is black, choked up with emotion when he recalled how his ancestors arrived as slaves in North Carolina, working at a plantation in Tarboro. His late father was a civil rights pioneer who participated in a sit-in at Durham ice cream parlor three years before the more famous sit-in at a Greensboro lunch counter.
"Each generation has built on the dream of prosperity and economic independence," said Stith, who like Wos is a Republican. "I don't take that legacy lightly and will work to ensure that North Carolina is a place for prosperity for all of our citizens."
