North Carolina Symphony to perform Bach's Christmas oratorio
Music Director Grant Llewellyn has assembled a distinguished cast of vocal soloists to join the North Carolina Symphony and the North Carolina Master Chorale for performances of Bach's Christmas Oratorio this week.
The performances are set for Dec. 6-7 in Meymandi Concert Hall in downtown Raleigh and will begin at 8 p.m. The final three cantatas of the work will be performed.
"First performed in Leipzig during the Christmas season of 1734-35, Bach's joyful work both surprised and delighted audiences with its beautiful melodies and gorgeous harmonies," according to a news release from the symphony. "Precise, inspired and vibrant, this gorgeous choral masterpiece goes straight to the heart and has captivated audiences for more than 250 years." Featured soloists are Kristen Watson, soprano; Krista River, mezzo-soprano; Richard Clement, tenor; and Philip Cutlip, bass. The North Carolina Master Chorale will also participate.
Soprano Kristen Watson has made solo appearances with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Mark Morris Dance Group, Boston Baroque, Emmanuel Music and the Handel & Haydn Society at such venues as Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and Boston's Symphony Hall. Praised for her "keen musicianship, agility and seamless control," Watson has been recognized by the Concert Artists Guild, Oratorio Society of New York, Joy in Singing, American Bach Society and Louisville Bach Society competitions and was awarded the Virginia Best Adams Fellowship at the Carmel Bach Festival.
Hailed by Opera News for her "lovely clarity and golden color," mezzo-soprano Krista River has a repertoire ranging from the Baroque period to the 21st century. She was a winner of the 2004 Concert Artists Guild International Competition and a 2007 grant recipient from the Sullivan Foundation. Recent notable performances include the International Water and Life Festival in Qinghai, China, and recitals at Jordan Hall in Boston, the Asociación Nacional de Conciertos in Panama City, Panama, and Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, for which the New York Times praised her "warm voice and witty interpretive style."
Richard Clement is a Grammy Award-winning tenor whose repertoire ranges from Baroque to contemporary. Highlights from recent seasons include performances with the Israel Philharmonic under Kurt Masur, the Czech Philharmonic, Saint Louis Symphony, Montreal Symphony, Detroit Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony and Philadelphia Orchestra. His operatic credits include engagements with Vancouver Opera, Glimmerglass Opera, Opera Theater of Saint Louis, Boston Baroque, Atlanta Opera and Boston Lyric Opera, as well as the New York Philharmonic and Colorado Symphony. An Atlanta native and former member of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus, Clement studied voice at Georgia State University and at the Cincinnati Conservatory.
Philip Cutlip, bass, has performed with a distinguished list of conductors, according to the symphony news release. His appearance as Joseph de Rocher in Heggie's "Dead Man Walking," with Joyce DiDonato and Frederica von Stade for Houston Grand Opera, has been released on Virgin Records. A distinctive element in Mr. Cutlip's career is his ongoing collaboration with dance companies and avant-garde ensembles alike, starting with his first appearance with the New York City Ballet to perform songs by Charles Ives. He has toured internationally with the Hamburg Ballet singing Bernstein's Dances, and has appeared on European and American tours of Philip Glass's "Les Enfants Terribles," including the world premiere in Zug, Switzerland.
The North Carolina Master Chorale, led by Music Director Alfred E. Sturgis, has been performing choral-orchestral masterworks for more than 60 years. The Master Chorale boasts two ensembles: a 170-voice symphonic choir and a 22-voice professional chamber choir that presents a diverse repertoire from the Renaissance to contemporary. Its singers, selected by audition, bring a collective wealth of training and experience. The Master Chorale regularly collaborates with symphony orchestras, opera companies, ballet and touring productions.
North Carolina Symphony concertgoers can also attend pre-concert talks, post-concert discussions, and "Meet the Artists" events, which feature interactive conversations with guest artists and select orchestra members. For the Friday, Dec. 6, and Saturday, Dec. 7 performances in Raleigh, Jonathan Kramer of N.C. State University will give pre-concert talks at 7 p.m. in the Swalin Lobby of Meymandi Concert Hall. At intermission both nights, North Carolina Symphony musicians will be on hand in the lower lobby of Meymandi Concert Hall for audience members to "Ask A Musician."
Tickets to the Raleigh Classical Series performances on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 6-7, range from $24 to $75. Student tickets are $15. Meymandi Concert Hall is located in the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts, 2 E. South St., in Raleigh.
Founded in 1932, the North Carolina Symphony gives more than 200 performances annually to adults and school children in more than 50 North Carolina counties. An entity of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, the orchestra employs 66 professional musicians, under the artistic leadership of Music Director and Conductor Grant Llewellyn and Resident Conductor William Henry Curry.

Door stops should not be used on fire doors. Fire doors are doors to staircases, as well as double doors in corridors. They are designed to provide a safe exit out of a building in the event of a fire. The doors, when closed, allow a person safe access out of a building through a staircase.
Most fire doors on campus are equipped with "smoke-check" devices, and are self-closing when the fire alarm sounds. These doors are allowed to remain open. At no time should these doors be held open by a door stop.
Other buildings, such as Crocker Hall and Hemenway Hall, do not have automatic closers. These staircase doors must always be closed, and should never be propped open with door stops.
If you have any questions, please call Maureen Bagge Fowler at extension 4633.

Liverpool match-winners Joe Cole and Jonjo Shelvey insisted that the Reds' dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over West Ham on Sunday can be attributed to the team as a whole.
Cole brought the Reds level at 2-2 after being introduced as a substitute in the first half, before emergency striker Shelvey helped force a winner via James Collins at Upton Park.
Post-match, the pair reflected on the remarkable result - which lifted the Reds into the top half of the Barclays Premier League - and enthused about the squad being built by Brendan Rodgers.
"It was very important for us. West Ham were three points above us, and we needed to keep doing the right things we've been doing," said Cole, a former Hammer.
"It was a great win - it's always nice to come back to your old club. I've scored a few against West Ham but never celebrated - the most important thing was getting the win.
"It's a great group of young players here and we've got the right manager for them - they have done really well."
Shelvey joked that he plans to claim the winning goal, which appeared to strike Collins and loop over Jussi Jaaskelainen to hand the travellers all three points and their first back-to-back league victories of the season.
"I'm going to claim it!" said the 20-year-old. "The main thing was that we got the three points and we've got a few home games coming up now. We want to kick on.
"I played up front against Young Boys so I'm not a stranger to that role. It's not about me, it's about the team - and the team were outstanding today.
"The new manager has installed a different way of playing at the club - it's very exciting to be involved in it. The longer the season goes on, the stronger we'll become."
Cole also reserved words of praise and wisdom for Raheem Sterling, who again played his part in the win one day after celebrating his 18th birthday.
"I think he's fantastic. He's played about 25 games and he's only 18," said the No.10.
"He's got everything and he's at the right club to progress and become a top player - he has already made his debut for Engand."

WAUPACA – Attorneys representing Rory Kuenzi filed a motion to withdraw from representation of the defendant today in Waupaca County Circuit Court. The jury trial on homicide charges is scheduled to begin November 12, 2010 with jury selection. Attorneys for the Wisconsin Department of Justice acting as Special Prosecutors filed a memorandum of law requesting that the court conduct a hearing on the motion. Judge Phillip M. Kirk will hear the motion tomorrow October 26, 2010 at 1:30 pm. The state will oppose the defendant's motion.
Last December Rory A. Kuenzi was bound over for trial on homicide charges after a preliminary hearing before the Honorable Philip M. Kirk. The criminal complaint charged Kuenzi with Hit and Run Resulting in Death and Homicide by Intoxicated Use of a Motor Vehicle in the October23, 2004, death of Kevin McCoy, whose body was found just north of State Highway 54, in the town of Farmington, Waupaca County, Wisconsin.
Walter Engel who was charged with perjury for allegedly making false statements while under oath was also bound over for trial at the December 2009 joint preliminary hearing.
At the preliminary hearing, a witness (Adam Klotzbuecher) testified that he observed Kuenzi who was intoxicated leave an under age drinking party driving his S‑10 truck south bound on Butts Road. The witness (Klotzbuecher) testified he heard a thump, saw a shoe come up from Kuenzi's truck and that Kuenzi then stopped and got out of his truck. The witness (Klotzbuecher ) testified Kuenzi, with the assistance of the witness, carried McCoy's body off the road. Kuenzi then left that location without leaving any information concerning his identity, address, or registration number of his vehicle. Kuenzi did not render any assistance to McCoy. Witnesses at the party indicate Kuenzi was intoxicated when he left the party.
A criminal complaint is a document alleging a violation of the criminal law. The defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
The Honorable Phillip M. Kirk in Waupaca County Circuit Court will decide the defendant's Motion to Withdraw from representation l on October 25, 2010 at 1:30 pm.
Assistant Attorneys General Jeffrey M. Gabrysiak and Dennis R. Krueger represent the state.
A copy of the criminal complaint, defendant's motion to withdraw, and the state's memorandum filed with the court are available at

New Mexicans are pretty good at making the most of what nature gives them. Take, for example, The McNeils in Ruidoso.
Like all of us, they love the rain. There's one difference, the McNeils drink the rain.
Tom and Judy McNeil said they have always recycled.
"Now Judy will tell you that I do things to the extreme," said Tom McNeil.
Welcome to the McNeils extreme recycling plan. When they started having some health problems, they decided to take control of the water they drink.
"We decided to go with the better source of water which is good old Mother Nature," said Tom McNeil.
The McNeils catch the rain on their roof then gutter it into these 3,000 gallon holding tanks in their yard.
There is a filter system under the house.
McNeil said in the past three weeks they have collected 19,000 gallons of rainwater and are hoping to make it last.
"A couple more rains, we're going to have our tanks full which at 21,000 gallons will give us a years' worth of water," said Judy McNeil.
The McNeils hooked up their whole house to the system, so they can get fresh rainwater from the fridge. The couple only uses the village water for plumbing and backup.
"If it doesn't rain I have the system designed and hooked up to where I can go back to the city water permanently on the house and purify it myself," said Tom McNeil.
Tom McNeil said they're happy drinking from the sky.
"It's a good feeling to know that we've got some really good quality water," said Tom McNeil.
The McNeils tell KOB Eyewitness News 4 they first started noticing health problems after the Little Bear Fire. They were concerned about water contamination. That's when they first started working on their rain project.

While some of the declared candidates are getting ready for their first close-up in South Carolina tonight, one of the principal undeclared candidates is getting plenty of attention on his own. As we noted yesterday, Mitch Daniels was at the American Enterprise Institute displaying his wonkishness in a speech about education reform. He then went to the left-leaning Arab-American Institute's annual dinner to pick up an award in recognition of his Syrian heritage. The day before he toddled up to New York to have lunch, among other things, with a gathering of pundits including some liberals.
While at times it has been it difficult to get a fix on whether Daniels is serious about running, that lunch would appear to be something of a tipoff that he is ready to take the plunge. It's hard to believe that a Republican governor of Indiana with no interest in the presidency would bother breaking bread with a group consisting of conservatives like Peggy Noonan and Ramesh Ponnuru and liberals like George Stephanapoulos, Michael Kinsley, and Josh Marshall. Hendrik Hertzberg wrote about the meeting in the New Yorker, and the upshot is that Daniels came across as a liberal's idea of a conservative. Judging Daniels on the basis of anything Hertzberg would say is obviously unfair. Every conservative statement that Daniels uttered was interpreted as being said unenthusiastically. That the personable Daniels came across well is not surprising, but the assertion that he is the only Republican candidate who isn't crazy says more about Hertzberg than the governor.
But the glittering minds at the lunch weren't able to pull out of Daniels some clear answers about foreign policy, the one topic that the Hoosier governor has tended to avoid. Daniels played his cards close to his vest on that topic, and he left an impression that would be no comfort at all to Republicans looking for a leader who might appear better suited than Barack Obama to be commander-in-chief. Indeed, as Ponnuru noted in his account of the lunch at National Review Online, Daniels also acknowledged that he's not ready to debate Obama on foreign policy.
That's not an unimportant point. Daniels may be among the Americans best qualified to deal with the budget and issues relating to taxes and spending as well his hobbyhorse of education. But while a president is only part of the equation of determining domestic policy, questions of war and peace are primarily the responsibility of the commander-in-chief. Perhaps the main question Daniels must answer is not so much whether he will run but why we should trust someone who acknowledges he is unprepared to discuss these issues with the presidency.
As for his evening with the Arab-American Institute, a group that is hostile to Israel, Daniels's speech seems to have provided no fodder for either his supporters or detractors. Ironically, Daniels struck something of a neoconservative tone when, in recalling his Syrian grandparents, he expressed hope that the people of that tortured country would step forward to demand freedom as the people of Egypt and Tunisia have done. If Daniels were to develop a message supporting the expansion of democracy abroad (which would fit nicely with his belief in economic freedom at home) that might be the start of a foreign policy. In the mean time, Daniels's candidacy is clearly a work in progress.

Young Janice was hanging out with her fuck friend at her house for the long weekend. Young Ms. Griffith and her boyfriend Gus were on the sofa playing around when her mother arrived early from outside. She had misplaced her briefcase in the living room.
Dana Vespoli, her strict mum, was pissed at first. Her Daughter was giving him a blowjob truly crappily. Thus when her mom gandered at his humungous penis she settled to teach Janice how to expertly give a blowjob. Ms. Griffith wasn't gratifying her sex buddy during sexual intercourse. She detailed to Janice how to deep throat without gagging.
The lesson worked perfectly. Ms. Griffith was happy and so was her fuck friend. Not only did the step daughter orgasm but so did her step mom.

Shingles are also known as herpes zoster which is ideally formation of blisters on certain parts of the body. It is definitely caused due to a virus known as the varicella virus. This is the same virus that brings about chickenpox and measles in human body.
Normally, people who have suffered from this virus will definitely face chickenpox in the early growth period. The sad part is that even after getting over the disease the person might have few remains of this virus for a very long time sometimes lifelong.
Usually it is considered as a revisiting chicken pox, as the surface almost looks the same. The patient will always be under stress and immune system might surely go for a toss. The pan is very terrible and there is a constant urge to scratch or itch. The early symptoms of shingles are fever, chills, stomach cramps, fatigue; the blisters form a shape like a belt or circle and form around the particular area only. There is still no particular treatment or a complete cure possible. People suffering from shingles do experience chronic neuralgia over a certain period of time.
Once you see a slight formation of shingles it is advisable you run to your doctor as early as possible. The person is forced to cry as bearing the pain is extremely difficult. If these are not treated on time it might lead to pneumonia, Loss of eyesight, organ malfunction, hearing loss, nervous breakdown. It can also turn fatal if not treated instantly.
Generally children and older people are at a higher risk of suffering from shingles. It can also arise if a person was under heavy medication or consumption of immunosuppressive drugs. It is contagious and even a healthy person might suffer from this virus if it ever came in contact with someone suffering from the same. The concern should be seen that the person does not expose to the sunlight. Rarely scratch the affected area. Follow a healthy diet and consume medicines prescribed.

Justin beiber is a cocky little asshole, nickie minaje is ******* ******* crazy and uses just as much auto tune as there is plastic in her tits and ass, and rihana is a complette bitch.about a year or two back she had her own mansion built that was over hundreds of millions of dollars and she bitched at all the workers when it was done because the walls werent the color she wanted.
#306 to #293 - anon (12/29/2012) [-]
no. i wouldnt expect anyone to do that. in fact id hope every celebrity treated their fans kindly because theyre helping her success. but to judge her as a complete bitch from that incident seems unjust. shes dont a lot of good. she can be quite slutty sometimes but thats irrelevant to being a bitch. ive heard her do more good than bad. just this week in my countries local newspaper she gave 4 million dollars worth of cancer equipment to the local hospital to give back to her community and improve the cancer ward of the hospital. not saying that just because of that you should drop to your knees for her..but like i said. i hear more good than bad.

who is gonzalo
1 Answer | Add Yours
Gonzalo is the counselor. The play says that putting Prospero on the island was his idea, I'm thinking that the others wanted to kill him. He basically spared Prosperos' life. He also gave Prospero all of his books ecause he knew how much he valued them. Let's not get it twisted though, Gonzalo was still a conspirator.

~~Different Space...Different Pace ???
The World and this Planet as
we know it has changed over the years , but not as much as in the
past ten years. We were told to
recycle and limit the waste, but not everyone
took heed. Saving the environment became a cause, but that too
fell by the wayside, as many thought it was a waste.( no pun
intended )
There have been wars between countries that just don't make sense and no amount of talking has done much good. Our government is corrupt with crooked politicians and gas has reached $ 24.00 a gallon.
The banks own most of the properties, thanks to foreclosures,
because people can't pay the mortgage due to loss of jobs and
cutbacks in companies...Some companies even sent the jobs
overseas. Ownership of home is a thing of the past , the dream is
now just to be able to afford rent. Some people have had to move
in with parents or relatives to survive.
Food is now an expense that needs to be addressed…and most of it comes from a country we cannot even pronounce. Don't know if you noticed but much comes from China…there are so many preservatives and additives that are causing health issues and insurance companies do not always cover the visits to seek medical help.
Education why bother, it's a waste of money, we can hardly afford the necessities of life and education is now a luxury. .even if you educate, there are no jobs…besides just how much education do you need to dig ditch Teaches can't be creative and are told they must stick to the pre-scheduled program, no deviation whatsoever, they are not allowed to reprimand because that would be considered "bullying" or " profiling"...so they go to work every day, just putting in their hours, hoping someone else will come forward to fixing the problems and change the system.
Marriage is a thing of the past, as no one wants to make a commitment, divorce has become too expensive. . many people have chosen not to have children as the quality of air is not good, health care is not an option too expensive all the way around, and what future would they have anyway ? Living versus Existence?
Crime has become the chosen occupation , stealing, killing, tops on the list , and then there's scamming from those that have,it matters not if stranger or family ,whatever they want.. it's not like the police can intervene. .what with all the legal loopholes the criminals are back on the street within 24 hours. .we issue police with guns and then punish them if they use them…
This is my story of how my family and I were able to get out from the situation we were in, and move forward into the " new world".
When I and my partner of life were told we had won the " Planets Lottery" we jumped for joy.... We would be leaving this planet and going afar, to the planet next to the big red star.
The new planet, we were told has clean air, free of disease, with lots of pure water and foods grow there, free of pollution and pesticides.
There are no wars from what we are told, and there are jobs for anyone willing to work. Healthcare is FREE.. and you can own property. Education is open to everyone.. even free college if you qualify. We are so excited to have this opportunity to start a new life without stress or strife, a future for our children.New friends, new jobs. I know that we won't sleep tonight…we board the craft at sunrise.
Oh how happy our lives will be... for my partner, and our two children... " Adam and Steve " on our new planet they call EARTH !!!!!
.This is just a thought from my head , purely fantasy, perhaps.just a dream ? or perhaps it's a glimpse into reality of the future ?
Looking forward to what your thoughts are, comments/critiques are always welcome....

Below is the poem entitled Dame Street Messiah which was written by poet
Downes. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Steve Downes
Weighty words wasted on the east wind
blowing down Dame Street
they don't heed or even hear them
the footsore army of suits and students
the new Abraham or Jesus or Muhammad
cries out
but is ignored
shoulder pushed to the side as the bus pulls up
cries out
new truths
replace the old
faith has become comical and morally weak
Bus pulls away and the Saviour is alone
in the crowded city
as the police move in
no laughter or mocking
just snorts of disapproval and 'tuts' of annoyance
eyes back down to the pavement
count the sore steps home
the rosary of the church of the rat-race
must have its homage
He could be the One
One true Saviour – again!
but this world would crucify him
with apathy and loose change

Updated: 11/28/2012 10:37 AM KSTP.com By: Aaron Chalich
I really like Disney a lot and have watched just about every movie they have made. I have two daughters and they are always watching something made by Disney and I am usually watching it with them.
I am also a fan of Mickey Mouse cartoons and have seen almost all of them as well. I was very excited when I received a review copy of Junction Point and Disney Interactive's "Epic Mickey 2" The Power or Two" on the PS3.
"Epic Mickey" was originally released exclusively for the Nintendo Wii in 2010. Now "Epic Mickey 2' has been released on all of the consoles and even on the new Wii U.
You play as Mickey Mouse and Oswald "The Lucky Rabbit" calls you back to Wasteland which is the forgotten world of old Disney characters. There are a series of earthquakes and the Mad Doctor who you defeated in the first game asks for your help to repair Wasteland.
Mickey grabs the magic paintbrush once again from the sorcerer and enters Wasteland once again to help restore it back to its original form.
"Epic Mickey 2" is amazing in so many ways. I cannot get enough of this game.
I really liked the story and it was written by award winning comic book writer Marv Wolfman and Junction Point. I thought that it was interesting and a great continuation of the first game. The characters were great. You meet so many different character along the way and they are all unique. Some you may recognize and some you may not. It was fun trying to remember all of the different characters.
The songs in the game were really entertaining and sounded great. The game could be considered a musical, because there are a lot of original songs featured in the cut scenes. Some are very catchy and fun to watch.
The graphics are amazing. Everything is very colorful and all of the characters look great and are very detailed. The bosses are huge and a lot of thought was put into them. The scenery and backgrounds are like portraits. I thought that they looked stunning and you can tell that the artists took a lot of time creating them.
The controls are really easy to learn and for the first time you can play co-op. The second person controls Oswald. If you only play one player then the computer controls him.
Oswald has his own special powers. He can be thrown up into the air and can hover. If you are Mickey you can grab onto Oswald's hands and he can fly you across areas. Oswald has the ability to create electricity with a remote control. This is very important because there are a lot of devices that need to be activated. Oswald can also take his arm off and throw it like a boomerang.
Mickey can learn a new skill where you can sketch different things and it affects the environment and enemies. There are four sketches you can learn. There the watch, fairy, TV, and anvil sketch. The TV sketch was pretty amusing. If there are enemies on the screen you sketch a TV and they sit and watch the TV for a while and it will eventually fade away.
Once again you can add or remove things in the game by using paint and paint thinner.
You can usually see where you need to add paint, because there will be an almost transparent outline of what needs to be made visible.
There are also many collectables to get in the game. You can find e-tickets hidden everywhere and you can use these to buy things in the shops. The e-tickets are basically money. There are also pins you can find and you use these to upgrade Mickey Mouse. It is really fun searching all over for the hidden items and they are usually in treasure chests. It is fun, because a lot of the time you can see the chest and you have to figure out how to get to it.
Another thing that I really enjoyed was playing the many different side quests in "Epic Mickey 2." You meet a lot of different characters and they ask you for help. If you do the task, you are rewarded. The task can be found on the menu screen, so at any time you can look and see what tasks you need to complete.
Once they are complete they are checked off. This was nice because there are so many things to do in the game and it was nice to go back and see what I needed to go back and do.
I really liked "Epic Mickey2: The Power of Two" a lot. It was a lot of fun and anybody can play it. Kids can play it and I know they will really enjoy it because the controls are easy to learn.
The characters are funny and it is fun to see Mickey and Oswald interact with each other and the different characters in the game. The bosses are huge and amazing and fun to try and figure out how to beat. I would highly recommend this game to anybody that is a fan of Mickey Mouse or is looking for a fun and entertaining game to play.

Finally got to see the academy award winning film, The Artist.
This is the second film on the list of nominees that I have seen, the other being Hugo (which I'm stoked to see is out…at least on iTunes). You probably already know by now that The Artist is the story of George Valentin, a silent film star, who has to redefine himself in the burgeoning era of "Talkies."
After seeing "The Kings Speech" last year I had incredibly high hopes for The Artist. I could not believe how enthralled I was as I watched this film. I had no idea that my attention could be hijacked by a silent film. It was wonderful. While I can't say that it was a King's Speech, it really was a wonderful film. There were breathtaking scenes and absolutely captivating performances. This was a skillfully directed film. The music was necessarily center stage and it was brilliant…ebullient even. I was especially interested in the contrasting, if not ironic, way the music and the scene were paired together.
It was a very clever story, although it wasn't as solid as you would expect for a Best Picture. Too much rested on the main characters without a subplot to keep you hooked. While some may argue with that statement, one could say that there were subplots, they just weren't in the screenplay. Dangling over the characters like Damocles' sword were these mega themes that operated behind the scenes and in the heart of the protagonist.
The Artist, George Valentin, is an Everyman. This movie could have been called The Mechanic, if it had been in an auto shop. The Teacher, if in a school. The Lifeguard, if starring Kevin Costner.
Lurking in the heart of every man is The Artist.
One of the reasons that I was so moved by this character was that Valentin's insecurity was like a parking brake an his life. I know what that is like. Valentin was confident in the old system, the old industry. What, he wondered, would people think if they heard his voice? What if they rejected his voice the way they rejected his art form and his identity? Could he cope with more profound rejection? How can his voice, which was irrelevant in the previous era, matter in the new one?
As a public speaker, I go through this weekly, but most everyone does. Do you ever hesitate to update your status on Facebook because you are afraid no one will care? Ever cancelled a twitter, because you don't want to be misunderstood. How about an email, text, or voicemail? We are all finding our voice.
I saw this as a marvelously artistic critique of denominational church culture at this point in time. The silent stars film don't see the value of the talkies, and the talkies don't weight the value of the past. Either way, the world will never be silent again.
There is this terrifically sad where the John Goodman character plays a screen test, with voice, for George Valentin. He laughs. He has no space for the future in his worldview – but more than that, he has no room for it in his skill set, career and experience. In fact, he says as he laughs his way out of the room, "If that's the future, you can have it!"
The interplay between the Valentin character and the Poppy character is a sober and challenging look at how the two world views (sometimes called modern and postmodern) coexist. It has everything to do with love and collaboration. Mind you, there is no going back, but there is no going solo, either.
I believe many of us in a whole variety of disciplines have to navigate this tension in our contexts. Without getting too prescriptive, here's the deal: we don't go to silent films anymore, we aren't headed backwards through history. BUT a silent film just won the academy award. Go figure.
We are all trying to find our voice. We are all addressing our insecurities; and how much moreso when the word we create is replaced?
We all live in a world in transition. It will move beyond us faster today than ever. The investment in relationship today is the only way through as far as I can tell. Like Poppy says, "I wanted to take care of you."
Valentin's quest was to find something to hold onto.
Something he could count on through change.
Don't we all?

Kevyn Aucoin: Elegant Lip Gloss Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Cloudaine Elegant Lip Gloss
Kevyn Aucoin: Elegant Lip Gloss
Cloudaine Elegant Lip Gloss ($27.00) is a potted lip gloss that goes on sheerly, but it does provide some color–it's not really a lip balm, though it looks a bit like one. It has a glossy, lipgloss feel once you've broken through the top layer. It does come with a retractable lip brush, which makes the value go up a bit, since I do find the price tag a bit steep for this kind of a product. Cloudaine is a soft, sheer milky pink with multicolored shimmer and a fair amount of glossiness. It's a very wearable shade–great for everyday. I'm, personally, not a big fan of potted lip balms or glosses, because it requires usage of a brush if you want to avoid bacteria and the ick-factor.
- Product: 8/10
- Value: 7/10
- Ease of Use: 7/10
- Packaging: 6/10
Recommendation: If you need a travel-friendly option of lip gloss, consider this solid form of lip gloss. It's easy to take with you anywhere, and the included retractable brush makes application easy.

text: Press release from the Department of Family and Juvenile Services in Frankfort: (FRANKFORT) Grayson County Court Designated Worker Lori Majors has been recognized with an Outstanding Service Award for her efforts to improve the lives of local families and children. She received the award from the state Department of Family and Juvenile Services at its Building Healthy Families conference in May in Frankfort. Majors works for the DFJS, which focuses on the well-being of children and oversees the CDW program statewide. CDWs work with the courts to help troubled young people by allowing them to be placed in diversion programs and avoid formal court appearances. Crystal Bohlander, a DFJS supervisor, nominated Majors for the award. Bohlander is not Majors' supervisor. "There are so many positive things to say about Lori," Bohlander said. "Helping youth to be successful is a priority in her life. She's professional and has earned the trust of the judges and community partners with whom she works. She has a spirit of cooperation and is always willing to go the extra mile. Lori not only supports the department's programs but is also a quiet leader in making them work. The service she provides for the department and the families and children we serve should make her a role model for all of us." Majors has formed important partnerships in the community, including the connection she's made with the local health department, Bohlander said. Majors works with the health department to bring students Generation Rx, a virtual learning tool to help middle school and high school students choose not to abuse prescription drugs. She coordinates with the health department to ensure that youth who would benefit from the program can participate through the CDW office. She also contributes ideas, speaks candidly about needs in the department and offers solutions, Bohlander said. After participating in a voluntary training for the school-based Individual Learning Plan program, Majors approached the DFJS about the need for a workbook to go with the program and then helped develop and pilot the workbook. The program assist young people with setting goals and exploring career possibilities based on their interests and aptitude. The long-running Truancy Diversion Program in Grayson County has strong community partners and is successful thanks to Majors' determination and hard work, Bohlander said. The TDP assists middle and high school students at risk of being charged with a truancy offense because of too many unexcused absences. Majors contributes her own time to work with children, too. She has been involved with the Grayson County Drug Coalition for 12 years, promoting awareness of substance abuse issues to help identify and prevent drug abuse in the community. She worked with the local 4-H program for six years, during which time many children who were on diversion through the DFJS got involved with 4-H programs, summer camps and scholarships because of Majors' work and referrals, Bohlander said. Majors has served as a Grayson County CDW for nearly 13 years.

In preparation for this relaunch, Yoshida spent the last week and a half touring the globe and meeting with the press to show off FFXIV in all its glory. After playing the game since launch and writing about it for three years, I was glad to attend the event and see the full spectrum of what the game has to offer in its relaunch. And there's a lot to be said about the game as a whole. It's the sort of thing that can't be contained in just one article or two.
So how about half a dozen? And a trio of videos to accompany the new benchmark program?
The battle is joined: Starting new and fighting through Final Fantasy XIV's relaunch
The first few moments of playing a new game are going to be crucial to any player. With an eye toward the game's original version, I went through the process of starting a new character, working through early quests, and seeing how the game plays at both lower and higher levels.
Land and Hand: Crafting and gathering in Final Fantasy XIV's relaunch
FFXIV's crafting and gathering systems have always been more involved than those of other games, and the relaunch continues this trent. Take a look at how the game makes crafting and gathering classes relevant and fun to play while clearing away some of the old version's cumbersome elements
Final Fantasy XIV's Yoshida on PvP, chocobos, and mobile apps
After playing the game, I had an opportunity to sit down with Naoki Yoshida and ask some questions about what I had seen, and in many cases what I hadn't yet seen. If you want to know more of what the game will feature beyond the beta, take a look.
Massively Exclusive: A dinner with Final Fantasy XIV's Naoki Yoshida
And after the last set of questions, I had a chance to sit down with the man himself to talk more about the process of taking a game and blowing it up just to remake it again. This is all about the process leading to that decision and what influences the relaunch we're getting.
Touring La Noscea and Thanalan in Final Fantasy XIV
My time spent at the Final Fantasy XIV tour didn't just include a preview of the areas to be found in the upcoming beta. No, we proud and few got the chance to also explore some of the game's other iconic areas, areas closed off at the start of the beta but slated for opening later on in the testing process.
Massively Exclusive: An in-depth look at Final Fantasy XI's new jobs
This year isn't quite as exciting for Final Fantasy XI as it is for Final Fantasy XIV, but it's still bringing a pretty big change to the status quo. Take a look at the full lineup of abilities and playstyles for both of the new jobs in the game's upcoming fifth expansion.

Made this three times now adding different things like carrot and capsicum. Its a winner every time - and super easy to make.
Made this on the weekend, was delicious and easy. Added button mushrooms when I added the pork. Two thumbs up!
where did you get apple cider? was it non-alcoholic. Thank you

(WTVR) – A Hofstra University student was killed on the last day of exams.
Police say it happened during a botched armed robbery early Friday morning in a Long Island home.
The victim was identified as 21-year-old Andrea Rebello.
According to police, Rebello's twin sister and two other friends were in the house at the time of the break in but were not injured.
Officials say the suspect was wearing a ski mask and entered the home with a handgun.
The suspect was later killed during a shootout, but it's still unclear who killed Rebello.

With Kidd and Felton on the floor together, this is the backcourt alignment that Coach Woodson favors when his team is at full strength. They've played together for 30 minutes, but they are by far the most effective offensive group of those that qualified for this list.
They are dynamic in the ways they can attack, with Chandler as an ideal pick-and-roll partner for any of Felton, Kidd or even Melo, who has been deadly at times as the ballhandler. Novak, of course, is an ideal floor-spacer. What's more, they average six assists for every turnover, so they do a fantastic job of maximizing their possessions.
This unit lacks size against some opponents because of the double-barrel point guard look, but they make up for any defensive shortcomings on the offensive end. They are scoring 147 points per 100 possessions, an astronomical number and the most of any qualified unit.

My experience with Sarah Planer & Susan Phillips was very professional and attentive. As a customer, all of my questions were answered in a timely manner. I was told every step of the way on how to negotiate and have a successful closing. Sarah Planer & Susan Phillips worked extensively to meet my needs and I was completely satisfied with their service and would highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in buying/selling real estate.

Team reviews
Susan is fantastic! She's very responsive to your phone calls and emails, answers your questions, and makes sure all of the loose ends are tied up at closing. Highly recommend this realtor.
Susan was very easy to work with. She always responded to any texts or phone calls promptly. She was very knowledgeable about the whole selling process and was there for us through every step. We were very satisfied!
Susan was very helpful to me in selling my home. She gave me some good pointers, and answered all of my questions.
I got a great offer after my home had only been listed for 5 days! I would recommend Sarah and Susan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
We used Sarah and Susan for the sale of our home this past year. From the start, they were a huge help. They helped us decide what needed to be done to present the house for sale in the best light, while minimizing the costs of those fixes. They helped us price the house correctly and react to changing market dynamics. They advertised the house well. They were timely, efficient, and appropriate in their dealings with offers, and shepherded us and the buyers through the closing process in the same manner. To be honest, this was a difficult sale, and they had to deal with a number of issues that were truly beyond the usual domain of the realtor, but these could have derailed the sale and they handled them extremely well. I would highly recommend Sarah and Susan to other sellers (and to buyers as well).
Susan was a great asset to the house buying process. She was wonderful at keeping us calm through our hurried need to buy a home. Always quick to respond and was always helpful, straightforward and fun! We would recommend her to anyone buying or selling.
Sarah was prompt in her responses and she worked hard and dedicated much of her time to getting the house sold. I appreciate all she did. She was very helpful and I now live out of state and she went out of her way to take care of the home and be there when I couldn'.
Susan guided my wife and I through the process of buying a beautiful home that completely enthralled us. She prepared the seller and us for each step that allowed us to make the purchase. On the day of closing we got to the house to find frozen sprinkler pipes had burst and were gushing huge amounts of water. She quickly got the situation under control and made sure the repairs were taken care of and restored our home buying experience to the joy we expected. We would use her again (if we ever think about moving from this treasure) and wholeheartedly recommend her for her people skills and the excellent contacts she shared with us for an ideal lender, home inspector and handy repair service. Just awesome!! Update 5/1/2015: Susan has an amazing collection of referrals and helped us get our Air Conditioner fixed by a true professional. She referred her handyman to us and he has done excellent quality repairs and installs for us. Veterinarian, mortgage lenders, and so many other services long after we purchased our home. We made a trusted friend who always comes through when we ask for her help, despite her own very busy schedule. She is especially skilled at negotiating with not-so-friendly people who may have woke up on the wrong side of the bed; she just makes tactful requests and reminders until the mission is accomplished. We have invited her to our home for dinner several times and expect to invite her many more times to ensure she feels our gratitude and friendship.
Working with Susan and Sarah to find my first home was a great experience. I tried working with a different realator at first but found them unresponsive. On the recommendation of my boss, I contacted The Planers. Within minutes of calling them and their responsiveness I knew they would much better to work with. With them working as a team they were able to accommodate my schedule and made a naturally stressful experience a exciting and enjoyable one. I mainly worked with Susan during the process and found her energy, positive attitude, and honesty (even though sometimes not what i wanted to hear), to be a great assets during the experience. I would (and have) recommended them to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Sarah is very knowledgeable professional. She does a great job of helping you find what you want. She allows you to have as much control of the process as you desire, but is available when you need help. When you are as good as Sarah, you are busy, which sometimes led to a lack of focus. Without question, I would use her again.

Check out scenes from Carrie's cover shoot:
It's a miserable Tuesday afternoon in Manhattan.
The skies are menacingly dark, and a heavy rain is falling. But inside a photo studio in the city's hip Chelsea neighborhood, the conditions are considerably calmer. Stylists, makeup artists, and photo assistants mill around, sipping coffee, flipping through the morning paper, and tinkering with their tools, figuring it will be a while before the object of their attention finally shows up. They know how it usually goes with celebs.
But Carrie Underwood breezes in exactly on time, dressed in a bright-blue hoodie, skinny jeans, and glittery ballet flats. Her punctuality is especially impressive given that her concert the previous night was about 120 miles away, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. At midnight, Carrie hopped back on her tour bus and arrived in New York City at two in the morning, then woke up at five for an appearance on The Early Show before heading to her Women's Health cover shoot.
Though functioning on only a few hours of sleep, the 27-year-old Checotah, Oklahoma, native shyly holds out her hand and greets everyone on the set with a warm smile and a polite hello, followed by a softly spoken "I'm Carrie."
A lovely but unnecessary gesture, given that in the past five years, she has become one of the most famous people in America. If there's an award, this girl has won it (to date, five Grammys—plus she's the first female artist to win back-to-back Academy of Country Music Awards for Entertainer of the Year); if there's a chart, she has topped it (her debut album, Some Hearts, was the best-selling female country debut album in history, and her latest release, Play On, is certified platinum); and if there's an opportunity, she has jumped on it (Carrie will be costarring alongside Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt in the upcoming movie Soul Surfer).
After clothes are selected and makeup is finessed, she steps into the lights. As Heart's "Barracuda" blares from the stereo, Carrie transforms. Gone is the unassuming young woman; in her place is a confident, camera-savvy superstar. It brings to mind Simon Cowell's remark to Oprah back in May, when he recalled Carrie on season four of American Idol: "It was as if the whole cast was in black-and-white, and one person walked in in color."
