General update regarding /r/playclub (self.Playclub)
submitted 3 years ago by MacBeth_in_Yellow
Greetings, play readers:
There's a few things, I think, worth noting at this point, just so everyone is aware:
First, we have a new moderator, Psykhattak, who has come to us from his own subreddit, /r/frompagetostage2012. So welcome aboard, Psykh! He'll hopefully help pick up some of the slack from Sculliosis and I, as we've both been pretty busy as of late and consequently have other things in our lives that need to take priority.
I did, after long last, catch up on some of my own play reading, including the last contemporary play of the month, The Women of Lockerbie. I did update the discussion post for that play, but given how long it's been, I may just delete the old post and repost soon.
Something to consider:
Things have, as I'm sure you've noticed, been kind of quiet as of late. Hence, I ask you, dear members, for your input, feedback, and brainstorming: what can we do to increase participation and activity? I still stand by the original idea behind /r/playclub, and I'd rather not see our subreddit succumb to the unfortunate fate of so many theatre-related subreddits that die out and become ghost towns. (For an idea of what I'm talking about, check out the sidebar in /r/theatre; they have a long list of all of the theatre subreddits, and most of them are long since abandoned.)
I am open to suggestions, even if it means completely retooling the general format of the group. We don't necessarily have to stick with a pattern of vote-select-discuss for every single play we want to read. There's nothing saying we can't also pick up better known works as well. Throw us your thoughts, and we'll see what we can come up with.
And for those who choose not to post anything, well, that old standby of Reddit's upvote/downvote system works for ideas as well. If someone makes a suggestion that gets a significant number of upvotes, we can assume that a number of people like what they're seeing.
tl;dr: Your suggestions are welcome. We don't want this subreddit to die!
[–]shane_solo 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Yeah, this is a good question. We have the same issue at /r/playwriting as well. Let me think on it as others in the community do!
[–]MacBeth_in_Yellow[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
It seems like /r/playwriting does get a fair amount of traffic by comparison. Either way, yeah...more participation is the thing that pretty much all the theatre subreddits need.

Andre Ayew wants to see an improved Marseille side against Reims tonight
Posted: Friday, 14th March 2014 0 comments - you should start the discussion!
Marseille winger Andre Ayew has challenged his teammates to bounce back against Reims tonight in the Ligue 1.
The Phoenicians had their Champions League qualification hopes dented after last week's 1-0 defeat to Nice.
Marseille, who are now 6th on the table and nine points behind third-place Lille, need to win to enhance their chances of playing in Europe next season.
"We are all aware of the situation," says Ayew.
"We all know where we want to go, what we want to do. What is important is to find the team. The mood is good; there is a good atmosphere.
"It's part of football. There are times when it's complicated and we are in this period.
"You just display a different face against Reims to take the three points. There are still ten games."

For the Kotex liners coupon reads Not good on trial size. Is the 18 liners package a trial size?
trial size would be like a one or 2 time use in my opinion
I have $1 Tresemme coupons from Target that my Walmart will accept also, making one $2.48.
walmart in indiana sucks i have had nothing but trouble the last week with couponing there and no less than 45 min in line fighting just to leave without my stuff like i was told only one coupon for item and no matching coupons like I got 4 pepsi 24 pks and tried to use the insert qs for $2.00 of 2 but they said no only one . i tell them there own policy and they still tell me no, i dont now what to do any help would be nice i have already sent corp. an email waiting for a response.
i live in Terre Haute, Indiana. I never have trouble with Walmart. First, you have to make sure you read all of your coupons and make sure you are doing it right and got the correct products- that way you are confident. ANd bring a printed copy of the policy to SHOW them. What I do is pick the right cashier- someone who looks young and/or happier than the others, preferably a male. Usually everything goes right in and if one beeps they usually read it over and then manually put it in- (if you picked the right cashier). Sometimes I have made a mistake (or they think I have) and then we can calmly talk about it- be ready to listen to their argument and be patient- it may just be a simple misunderstanding. After they are finished you can either calmly take your coupons back (because you realized you made a mistake) or you can explain something they may not have understood or show them the coupon policy that states otherwise. THey are not going to listen to you if you don't listen to them.
I bought today the local newspaper with smartsource coupons in it, and there is NO tresemme coupon inside. my husband got similar newspaper with another smartsource coupons inside, same thing, no tresemme coupon there. can anybody tell me more???
There are gift sets at my walmart on clearance for $7.00 and they are gillette for men gift sets and with the for $4.00 gillette coupon makes them $3.00 great deal for christmas gifts!!!

There\'s an article in today\'s Times. about the Congestion Charge.
The key facts in the body of the article are:
1) \"The number of vehicles entering the zone fell slightly last year and is now 20 per cent below the level in 2002.\"
2) \"The fall in vehicles has failed to produce a lasting reduction in congestion because the capacity of the road network has fallen over the past four years\"
3) \"The duration of works by all utilities tripled between 2004 and 2006, largely due to the replacement of leaking Victorian water mains. The Mayor admitted that the introduction of new bus lanes and sets of traffic lights had also reduced the capacity of the network, although he claimed that the effects of these were small compared with the delays caused by road works.\"
In other words, the Congestion Charge has worked admirably and would be a good model to follow, freeing up space for road works, bus lanes and pedestrians while reducing carbon emissions. Result! However, that isn\'t the way the introductory paragraphs of the article have been spun:
Congestion in central London is almost as bad as it was before the daily charge was introduced four years ago, according to official figures.
The loss of most of the benefits of congestion charging is causing concern in other cities that have been considering whether to follow London's lead.
Whoever wrote those lead paragraphs is a dishonest cunt and should have pokers thrust in their eyes. Also, it\'s time to prepare for an onslaught of ignorant car-loving Ken-hating buffoons claiming that the CC has failed on the basis of this \'evidence\'…

August 5, 2013
Brendon Morris
You heard his name on the PA system all season last year after he blew up offenses in the backfield or chased down a quarterback for a sack.He became an anchor on the defensive line and a force to be reckoned with at the defensive tackle position in 2012, and now Calvin Barnett has his sights set on 2013.We sat down with Barnett to talk all things OSU defense at Oklahoma State Media Day, and he opened right up and told it like it was.You have some holes to fill up front at the defensive end positions and James Castleman missing spring. What are your thoughts when you look around at the guys next to you?"I think we should be alright. James is pretty much healthy now. They took care of him and sat him out like they needed to, and he did his rehab and did everything he needed to. Our incoming freshmen, our transfers and our defensive ends, everyone's been doing what they needed to. I'm the biggest critic of myself, so before I try to lead my team I'm gonna make sure I'm working hard every day and everyone just follow. People like Tyler Johnson, he's a natural leader as well. By being as mature as he is, he does things that leaders need to do. He speaks up when I don't on the defensive line, which is good because no one is going to be there every day, everyone's going to have to help out in that role. I feel like as a defensive lineman that's what needs to be done.How has the transition from Bill Young to Glenn Spencer and new defensive line coach Joe Bob Clements been?"The transition's been pretty cool, actually. I like the way they coach just like I liked the way Coach Young coached me. We had a very good relationship, he recruited me when I was young in junior high school, he was the first one from Oklahoma State to get in touch with me. Coach Clemens is just a hard-nosed, up-front coach. They're different, but I love the way he coaches me and holds us accountable as well. He literally coaches the person who thinks he's the best player on the D-line, to the worst. He doesn't care. I'm on all these watch lists but he's not gonna see me take a bad step and not correct it, he chews me just like he chews everyone else. Everyone's treated equally with him."If there was one flaw in your game early, it was maybe being a little too aggressive. How do you address that and change it without losing your edge?"I didn't change much. I didn't change anything last year after the Arizona game all the way up to the Purdue game when I got another personal foul. I just play hard. If you're a competitor, we have these certain things we do. Against Arizona is when I learned there are certain things I can't do. I talked to Coach Gundy about it and he said 'Yeah, I saw you play, that's how you play, but I'll let you learn," and I learned from it. The next game, then Kansas after that, every game I was just as aggressive. Maybe even more, I was playing with a chip on my shoulder because I remember everyone was looking at me from then on. I don't really change anything about it, though."There are a lot of storylines coming into this year, whether it's being picked to win the Big 12 or other stuff, but there was a specific thing we wanted to ask you; Mississippi State the first week. So much is made of the Big 12 offenses against the SEC defenses. Do you feel disrespected that you aren't in that conversation?""Not really, everybody has their perception of what's gonna happen or what's gonna go on. They want to see certain parts of it. They want to see our offense, we have a really explosive offense. They're gonna see that regardless. The fact that our defense isn't being spoke of, I feel some type of way about it, but it's nothing to be mad about it. There's no reason to. At the end of the day, we're gonna come out and play hard, and we're gonna try to get turnovers, and we're going to meet the goals on our goal board. We're gonna come out and try to win the game." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

A Very Merry Downton Christmas!
Admittedly, I have gone rather off topic in the last few posts. But today we return to our beloved Heatley Cliff, which is not as grand as Downton Abbey but is as thoroughly steeped in tradition. Sher and I are clearly devoted Anglophiles and perhaps you are too after watching the hit PBS show. Listed below are a few ways that you can bring Downton to your very own holiday celebrations.
- First things first. One may be filthy, stinking rich and even a member of the aristocracy, but one never shows it off. This is why Kate
MiddletonWindsor does not walk around wearing a tiara. Because of this low key attitude, much of the Christmas celebration will include homemade gifts and/or decorations like jams, jellies, pies or knitted things. The 'Make Do And Mend' attitude is no doubt a wartime throwback, but it is nice to offer up something you've created, even if it's as simple as a batch of cookies.
- Fruit cakes are a must and should be prepared weeks in advanced, because they have to be absolutely steeped in alcohol. Fruit cakes have a notoriously bad rep, but if baked correctly, it's pretty much like eating a couple of shots. A traditional recipe can be found here.
- In England, the Christmas season officially begins with the Advent. I'm sure many of you are already familiar with the Advent calendar. These calendars are easy to find in drugstores and candy shops. But, if you want to go Downton style, you should think about investing in a permanent one made of wood. These can come in many shapes (I like the ones that look like little houses) and have 24 doors on the front, which you open up each day to reveal a tiny prize inside. Here's a link to buy one for next year.
- Christmas lights are always nice but a more traditional decor centers around nature. Fir garlands and wreaths, mistletoe, holy and ivy will Manor-fy your home instantly. It should make it smell like Christmas, too!
- This week on the podcast, we are trying to recreate our lives before computers. Email is great. I get and send dozens of emails a day. It may be a small pleasure, but it is a pleasure, however, when you get something in the mail. If you're going to go Downton style, you need to send out actual Christmas cards. You can purchase them online but you have to send them out with a stamp. When you get Christmas cards, string them up and hang them like a garland; it looks really sweet.
- At Downton, a tree would be procured by a gamekeeper on the grounds. At the Heatley Cliff our gamekeeper is Taylor Kitsch (Tim Riggins!), so you can imagine how much fun that would be to watch. In the past, you may have gone to a lot to buy your tree. This year, look online and see if there isn't a Christmas tree farm relatively close by. This will provide imminently more satisfaction and will really get you in the holiday spirit. You may well have treasured ornaments to decorate your tree with and by all means do, but traditional English ornaments are often just as simple as ribbon bow ties or pieces of dried apple or orange strung up with a thinner ribbon. Think about including these simple decorations on your tree.
- In order to do the Downton style justice, one must go a – wassailing. A Wassail is actually a cup of booze, a strong one at that, to keep the winter chill away. The intent behind the wassail is actually a toast to good health and cheer, done at Downton naturally by Lord Grantham. The word is a translation from Ye Olde English meaning 'be well'. To go a- wassailing, you bring a pot of your wassail with you (if homemade) – or a bottle, if purchased. Then, you go out carolling and offer up a cup of wassail to your neighbours. If the idea of going door to door singing terrifies you (as it does me), then singing carols at home with friends and family and a bunch of booze will do quite nicely.
- Have you ever heard of the panto? Pantos are a big time Christmas event in England, usually starring soap actors and weird B or C list American celebrities like David Hasslehof and Donnie Osmond. But, traditionally a pantomime is performed by the kids in the family or neighbourhood. It's a fun, SILENT little skit where they act out a Christmas themed play that last only three or four minutes. I can see how the household pantomime would have worked brilliantly before TV, but if you've got creative youngsters, it may well be fun for them to do.
- There is no Santa Claus in England. Repeat. There is no Santa Claus. Instead, they have Father Christmas, who is basically, the same guy but looks a little bit more like Dumbledore. Children traditionally are allowed to open one gift on Christmas Eve. Then, the stockings are hung in anticipation for his arrival. In Downton times, the children would be sent to their father's sock drawer to pick out an actual sock. Considering the state of my own husband's socks, I'm going to give this one a pass and go with the bigger, store bought ones.
- On Christmas morning, the first order of business is always tea. Then the eldest child of the house is assigned to be Father Christmas's helper – a serious responsibility, as he or she has the job of handing out the gifts. This in theory should ensure that instead of a free for all, the opening of presents runs as efficiently as a German production line.
- Christmas dinner may or may not have turkey. At the Heatley Cliff we prefer a lovely roast. Yorkshire Pudding is however, a staple. Don't let the name fool you. It is not a pudding or even a dessert. It is a gorgeous roll baked in the oven with an obscene amount of butter. The other ABSOLUTE MUST have at dinner are Christmas crackers, again a misleading name. A cracker is a cardboard tube wrapped in colorful, streamer-like paper. The person beside you pulls one end and you pull the other. There is an audible snap and once broken a little toy falls out along with a silly joke and a tissue paper crown which should be worn at the table. I'm not sure what the crown is about, perhaps a tribute to The Three KingsWisemen or even Jesus himself. Either way, everyone at the table looks very festive. You can purchase crackers online here.
- Wait, wait, we aren't done yet. The day after Christmas in England (and Canada too, Commonwealth that it is) is also a holiday called Boxing Day. At Downton Abbey, the family would have "boxed" up their left over food and other items they had put aside for charity and handed it out to the families living on the estate. Today, Boxing Day has evolved to a day reserved for visiting family and friends. At least, it should be. Unfortunately more and more, people have taken it to mean that they return the "boxes" of gifts that didn't fit or they didn't particularly like back to the stores. It's a huge day of sales; think Black Friday. Absurd. Why go back to the shops when you've just spent a month traipsing all over them to find those presents in the first place? Stay home and relax, go over to a family member's house or do something for charity. The only consuming you should do is of the Wassail variety. Can you imagine Lady Grantham at Best Buy the day after Christmas? I think not.
From all of us here at the Heatley Cliff, we wish you the happiest of Holidays.

"Scientists, environmentalists and farm advocates are pressing the question about whether rewards of the trend toward using more and more crop chemicals are worth the risks, as the agricultural industry strives to ramp up production to feed the world's growing population."

A KnollStudio Classic, the Arm Lounge Chair is made of woven cotton webbing and maple hardwood. Mortise and tenon construction. Available with webbing in a variety of colors and a choice hardwood finishes. The Lounge Chair is also offered in an Armless version.
Knoll was founded in 1938 by Hans and Florence Knoll who sought to create new types of furniture and environments for the home and workplace. Their approach was to join craftsmanship with technology through the use of design and to create beautiful home furnishings that stood the test of time visually, functionally and practically. The pair sought out designers willing to change the landscape of modern design, daring to ask how furniture could work better. These landmark collaborations, with pioneering modernists like Eero Saarinen, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Harry Bertoia and Richard Schultz built a brand that today contains many of the hallmarks of modern design.
Knoll enjoys brand recognition throughout the world for its modern classics as well as groundbreaking new products formulated under new designer partnerships. Few companies can match the array of Knoll products, which combine a modernist aesthetic with residential appeal. This point of view nurtured by Florence Knoll, has become the trademark of Knoll design. Today, it connects to a new generation seeking workplaces and homes that are comfortable for and beautiful for everyday living.
The highly coveted Barcelona® Chair is, with little doubt, the signature Knoll piece. Designed in 1929 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, it is one of the most recognized objects of the last century, and an icon of the modern movement. Skilled craftsman construct this exquisite chair by hand every day. From leather produced from a single cowhide, 40 individual leather panels are cut, hand-welted, and hand-tufted with leather buttons to upholster the chair. Premium cushions are highly resilient with a down-like softness that surrounds the sitter in luxurious comfort. Cushions are suspended by upholstery straps in cowhide belting leather over a metal frame that is hand-ground and hand-buffed to a mirror finish. Meticulously detailed, Barcelona continues to appeal to customers worldwide some 85 years after its introduction.
The Knoll names offers a rich design history - a legacy of iconic designers and inventive new collaborations. Their focus on quality and responsible manufacturing means that each piece transcends multiple generations in both use and appeal. Knoll offers furniture, accessories, textiles, felts and leathers that stimulate the senses and allow you to express who you are and what you value. They take great pride in creating the best possible product and the happiest possible customer.
Jens Risom, who designed the first Knoll chair in 1941, received his education in Denmark at the Krebs' School, St. Anne Vester School, University of Copenhagen and Copenhagen's Kunståndvaerkerskolen. He worked as a designer of furniture and interiors in the Copenhagen office of architect Ernst Kuhn. After moving to the United States, he became the design director of Dan Cooper in New York and also designed for Georg Jensen. Responsible for designs dating to the mid-20th century, Risom is a trustee of the Rhode Island School of Design and was knighted by Queen Margrethe of Denmark in 1966.View other products by Jens Risom

Multilateral Newsletter: Volume 1 - April 9, 2010
Bureau of International Organization Affairs
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
I find it hard to believe that a year has already passed since I assumed leadership of the Bureau of International Organization Affairs. Before another year rushes by, I wanted to take just a moment of your time to thank you for all the valuable insight, guidance, and feedback I have received over these months, and to offer you a quick update on some of the Bureau's most recent activities.
Dominating that category in recent weeks has of course been the continuing international response to the tragedy in Haiti. At the end of March, Secretary Clinton co-hosted an International Donors' Conference at UN Headquarters to focus attention on the resources needed for Haiti's long-term recovery and reconstruction. The conference, which featured the participation of Haitian President René Préval and the UN Secretary-General, resulted in an unprecedented outpouring of global support, to the tune of nearly $10 billion in pledges.
I was profoundly affected by the scene in New York, where representatives from the widest spectrum of nations stood shoulder to shoulder with the Haitian people. Maintaining that degree of support in the coming years will be crucial, as will ensuring that pledged support is applied in the most effective, coordinated, and transparent manner possible.
The IO Bureau will play an important and ongoing role in the U.S. response to the crisis in Haiti by working closely with the United Nations and other international organizations engaged there, and I would of course welcome your thoughts as that effort unfolds.
You are also well aware that the IO Bureau plays a leading role in U.S. participation on the UN Human Rights Council. We've been a member of the Council for less than a year, but have nonetheless worked with great energy to promote a vision of the Council as a more credible and effective force on behalf of human rights. In assuming a seat on the Council, we understood that political and institutional dynamics would pose considerable challenges to realizing that vision.
I am pleased to report, however, that the most recent session of the Council, which ended just a few weeks ago, resulted in significant, though incremental, accomplishments toward that objective. Of particular note in that regard was our effort to steer the Council toward a more productive approach in combating issues of racial and religious intolerance.
As you are already well-aware, there has been a deeply troubling effort at the UN in recent years in support of banning speech that might prove offensive to religious groups. While we share concerns about racial and religious understanding, such an approach is unlikely to be effective and would impose unwarranted infringements on freedom of speech.
In an effort to begin redirecting this energy toward more constructive paths, the United States was vocal on this issue at the Council and in capitals around the world. The result of that effort was a significant shift of support away from the annual resolution on defamation – a trend we will strive to extend and strengthen in the coming months.
This and other successes were the product of a concerted effort by the United States, an effort immeasurably strengthened by the arrival in Geneva of our Chief of Mission, Ambassador Betty King, and U.S. Representative to the UN Human Rights Council, Ambassador Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe.
Finally, just a quick note on a recent event that I believe captures the true essence of the President's "Era of Engagement." A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to join the U.S. delegation to UN-Habitat's 5th World Urban Forum (WUF). The U.S. and Brazil co-chaired the Forum, which focused on the urgent importance of addressing the impacts of rapid global urbanization.
By 2050, two-thirds of the world's population will be living in cities, most of them in the developing world. This fact could have very real implications for U.S. national security, and certainly will have implications for the global economy and the wellbeing of hundreds of millions of people around the globe.
As the United States addresses the domestic phenomenon of growing urbanization -- with issues as varied as affordable housing, water and sanitation, and mass transportation -- we must concurrently seek means of addressing similar phenomena across the globe.
Once again, my sincerest appreciation to all for your interest in and commitment to multilateral engagement and foreign affairs. I look forward to sending you occasional updates in this format as a means of keeping you abreast of the Bureau's activities. I would also encourage you to register for our IO Summaries, which capture major IO activities, UN actions of note, public statements, and more.
As always, I welcome your comments and feedback to the IO Mailbox.
With Highest Regards,
Esther Brimmer

"We're all Irish piss-takers so we know where the line is with each of us," says La Rocca singer-guitarist Bjorn Baillie. "And we work very, very hard together. So when we hit the stage, it's one united wave of attack."
The lads have lately slayed audiences in their adopted home of Los Angeles, which makes you wonder: How did four blokes from towns with names like Delgany and Rathcoole end up in La La Land? They confess that Angelenos have a hard time understanding them and that they've had to Americanize their repertoire of curses. You also have to wonder why they chose to cash in their chips, leave the cozy college town of Cardiff (Wales), where they met, and strike out for terra incognita.
For one thing, they wanted to record with Tony Hoffer (Belle & Sebastian, The Kooks, Beck, Supergrass), who's based in L.A. But, says Bjorn, "What made us a band straight off was this feeling that we had something to contribute," something that could not be contained by geographical boundaries, something bound and determined to reach a wider audience. "Maybe it's one great song in the pantheon of great songs, or maybe it's a lot more than that; it could be a lot more." In fact, Bjorn confides, "I want to be the best songwriter of my generation." Judging by La Rocca's debut album, The Truth, due August 8, 2006, on Dangerbird Records, he's off to an excellent start. Further evidence: the EP Sing Song Sung, released Feb. 14 on Dangerbird.
Bjorn, keyboardist/guitarist/singer Nick Haworth – okay, he's actually English – bassist/singer Simon Baillie and drummer Alan Redmond duly progressed from the stages of Cardiff to Dublin and then to London. Bjorn recalls: "We were driving down to London and playing at these famous clubs. But we had this tatty gear and we'd be wearing God knows what. We'd look at the other bands, who had all these cases and looked incredible, and think, 'Now THAT is a proper band.'"
"We've never been part of any scene," he continues. "We've never had a style you can describe with a catch phrase or a clearly defined look, just good songs that we work hard to play well. But there are people who still remember the lyrics to the songs we were playing back in Cardiff." One of those, "This Life," made it onto The Truth, and it IS one catchy motherfucker. Daniel Lanois, who shares a music publisher with La Rocca, remarked upon hearing it: "That's it! That song is a gift. Here's what's gonna happen: You'll release that song and spend three years playing it around the globe. End of story."
Writing a single perfect pop song is more than most bands achieve in a lifetime. But The Truth is bigger than that, larger-than-life. Note the headlong tumble of "Sketches," the Supergrass-y gallop of "Sing Song Sung," the sweeping melodies of "Capitol Pill" and "Goodnight" and "Some You Give Away," the Exile on Main Street swagger of "The Truth." The power of these songs is in the writing, in La Rocca's unerring ability to hit the pleasure center again and again.
It wasn't always so. Bjorn remembers the band's inauspicious beginnings: "Nick told me to come by if I had some songs because he had a band. Complete lie! They were just some lads who got drunk and loved a sing-song. No shape or order at all. So one night they played me a couple of songs, and they were fucking dreadful. I'd been writing since I was 15, first on piano and then on guitar, so I played them a couple of mine, and Alan kept saying, 'Play us another.' So I played six or seven songs and finally said, 'Look, if we're doing this, let's do it right.' So my brother Simon moved up from Bristol under very false pretenses to play bass."
Bjorn has played in bands with Simon since they were teenagers. The two grew up in Delgany, about 20 miles south of Dublin and a stone's throw from the Irish Sea. "My old man had Cosmo's Factory [1970], by Credence Clearwater Revival," Bjorn says of one of their earliest influences. "We'd never heard anything like it. We got all our friends into it. I'm still in awe of that song 'Long as I Can See the Light.'"
Once Simon joined La Rocca – named after "a dank, downstairs bar in Bristol with this massive hole you crawl through to get to the dance floor" – the band began rehearsing regularly. Nick, from the Lancashire town of Burnley, was already an adept pianist. Alan, from Rathcoole, west of Dublin, had been playing drums since he was 15 and had what Bjorn calls "a manager's head." "He's very savvy about what needs to be done," Bjorn reiterates. "He's a genius hustler."
Though Bjorn concedes that La Rocca's reach occasionally exceeded their grasp – "the songs were sometimes better than we were" – their persistent gigging throughout the U.K. earned them a significant following. In 2003 the Limerick-based label Wet Clay released a four-song EP that garnered glowing reviews and La Rocca their first airplay.
When it was time to record their full-length debut, the band made a list of their dream producers, which included Tony Hoffer. Around this time, La Rocca was flown out to meet with A&R executives in L.A.
"We'd had label interest because of the EP and our success in Australia" [where the song "Sing Song Sung" had landed in heavy rotation], Bjorn relates. "We talked to all these people, including Tony's manager, who also happens to co-own a label called Dangerbird. Of all the labels, Dangerbird instantly felt right. We're big on instinct, and they spoke to us in a language we all understood – it was about the music. We decided to sign with them in the end because the label believes in our songwriting and understands our ambition completely. You can't buy that kind of commitment."
So La Rocca said a tearful farewell to friends, family and the familiar and headed off for the brave new world of Los Angeles, which, though fraught with peril for these fish out of water, offered some perks. "Dublin's very real and authentic and gritty, no bullshit about it at all," says Bjorn. "It's quite nice to come someplace that's just a lot of bullshit – I quite like it."
The Truth was recorded in two months at Hollywood's Sound Factory. Bjorn says that recording it was truly a defining moment for the band. "You never get a second chance to make a first record, and I think the process of going from there to here has made us feel like a proper band in a way we never had before. This record captures us. In many ways, it's who we are."
So that's why it's called The Truth, right? Not exactly. The title is more about the song "The Truth" – that would be "truth" with a little "t" – than any grandiose notion of THE TRUTH, either Bjorn's own or that slippery thing mankind has been wrestling since we crawled out of the primordial soup. "The truth?" he muses. "I dunno what it is." To be sure, he's not one to spell out the deeper meanings of La Rocca's songs, but he does reveal that "The Truth" is about a journalist from a bygone era who "lied through his teeth." Bjorn was a journalism student at Cardiff University and says he's long been fascinated by the history of the press, particularly its seamier side.
And though he may be disinclined to discuss the content of the songs, he talks about writing them with great abandon. "Songs can come to me as lighting strikes, but I think you have to be prepared for the lightning to strike, and you have to be dedicated to getting the inspiration onto the page," he insists. "I'll be working on a song for hours, trying to find what Nick Cave calls 'the split second where the right word in the right place can break someone's heart.' Sometimes it's 3:00 in the morning before I finally nail it, and the thrill and relief at having done it and knowing it's good – there's no feeling like it."
Except, perhaps, the feeling of being onstage with his mates, rolling out that united wave of attack. No need for Bjorn to comment further on that; it's all right there in "Sketches": 'Course I wanted credit where it's due/ Feel so very blessed to play with you/ We get over everything it seems/ Wide awake while all around is dream'
2006 might be the year of our Lord… but it belongs to LA ROCCA.
Produced and mixed by Tony Hoffer. Engineered by Todd Burke, Jason Gossman and Tony Hoffer. Recorded and mixed at Sound Factory Studio B in Hollywood. Mastered by Stephen Marcussen at Marcussen Mastering.

James Monroe
In the following letter, a twenty-year-old James Monroe writes to Mrs. Prevost regarding a young woman and a possible visit to France.
November 8, 1778, PhiladelphiaMrs. Prevost,
Upon this principle I think I stand excused for not writing [to you] from B. Ridge [Baskenridge, Lord Stirling's estate]. I proposed it, however; and, after meeting with opposition in--, to obtain her point, she promised to visit the little 'Hermitage' [Mrs. Prevost's home at Paramus], and make my excuses herself. I took occasion to turn the conversation to a different object, and plead for permission to go to France. I gave up in one instance, and she certainly ought to in, the other. But writing a letter and going to France are very different, you will perhaps say. She objected to it, and all the arguments which a fond, delicate, unmarried lady could use, she did not fail to produce against it. I plead the advantage I should derive from it. The personal improvement, the connexions I should make. I told her she was not the only one on whom fortune did not smile in every instance. I produced examples from her own acquaintance, and represented their situation in terms which sensibly affected both herself and Lady C. [probably Catharine, Lord Stirling's daughter]. I painted a lady [Mrs. Prevost] full of affection, of tenderness, and sensibility, separated from her husband, for a series of time, by the cruelty of war--her uncertainty respecting his health; the pain and anxiety which must naturally arise from it. I represented, in the most pathetic terms, the disquietude which, from the nature of her connexion, might possibly intrude on her domestic retreat. I then raised to her view fortitude under distress, cheerfulness, life, and gayety, in the midst of affliction.
I hope you will forgive me, my dear little friend, if I produced you to give life to the image. The instance, she owned, was applicable. She felt for you from her heart, and she has a heart capable of feeling. She wished not a misfortune similar to yours; but, if I was resolved to make it so, she would strive to imitate your example. I have now permission to go where I please, but you must not forget her. She and Lady C-- promise to come to the Hermitage to spend a week or two. Encourage her, and represent the advantage I shall gain from travel. But why should I desire you to do what I know your own heart will dictate? for a heart so capable of friendship feels its own pain alleviated by alleviating that of others.
But do not suppose that my attention is only taken up with my own affairs. I am too much attached ever to forget the Hermitage. Mrs. Duvall, I hope, is recovering; and Kitty's indisposition is that of my nearest relation. Mrs. de Visme [Mrs. Prevost's sister-in-law] has delicate nerves. Tell me her children are well, and I know she has a flow of spirits, for her health depends entirely on theirs.
I was unfortunate in not being able to meet with the governor [Governor Livingston]. He was neither at Elizabethtown, B. Ridge, Princeton, nor Trenton. I have consulted with several members of Congress on the occasion. They own the injustice, but cannot interfere. The laws of each state must govern itself. They cannot conceive the possibility of its taking place. General Lee [probably General Charles Lee, then in Philadelphia] says it must not take place; and if he was an absolute monarch, he would issue an order to prevent it.
I am introduced to the gentleman I wished by General Lee in a very particular manner. I cannot determine with certainty what I shall do till my arrival in Virginia.
Make my compliments to Mrs. and Miss De Visme, and believe me, with the sincerest friendship,
Created by America's Cable Companies.

Battlefield 4 Gameplay: Watch The Extended Paracel Storm Multiplayer Trailer (video)
Turns out, yesterday's multiplayer reveal of the Paracel map in BF4 was jam-packed with too much content. So much so that a mere couple minutes were all that was available. Well we sent in our digital sleuths to find the unseen footage. They failed horribly and have since been confined to play the Survivor video game until they bleed uncontrollable from unmentionable orifices. I mean how hard could it have been to search the official Battlefield 4 YouTube page? It's so hard to find imaginary good help these days.
Here is the full video of intense multiplayer gameplay on the turbulent Paracel Storm map. Here we really get to see the improvements and additions DICE has made to the dynamic weather system for the Frostbite 2 engine. Moreover, those rising and falling waves seem to suggest each naval battle will feel fresh and varied. Take a look.
Battlefield 4 is set to launch this year in October 2013. Expect BF3 owners and BF4 Premium preorder folks to have access to the beta sometime before October. More on that as it develops.

"I am your brother... your best friend for-e-e-ver..." Has anyone gotten that out of their head yet??
American Idol went to Dallas and well, congrats to Dallas for bringing Idol auditions to an all new level of ridiculousness!
There's really no way to describe this song and man who will bring the next William Hung-style hit record.
All we can say after watching the madness is... silver cape... too... much yelling... I am your brother... I love Simon... I love Simon...
Wait, was Cape Man Simon's secret weapon to hypnotize all of America into electing him our leader? All I can remember is brotherhood and a shining light behind Simon... I'm scared.
But, for those of you who missed this... phenomenon, the only way to truly understand the absurdity is of course to see for your (very, very lucky) self. You can't miss him - he's the one in the cape and featured hat adorned with Simon's name.
And then as those now in love with brotherhood and Simon will recall, Paula danced madly in front of the guy, Randy danced with him and dragged Ryan into the swaying brotherhood and Simon actually gave the guy a hug for his impressive display of Simon-love.
And other people auditioned too. There were all the Kelly Clarkson wanna-be's leading to the butchering of a few of her songs, and shockingly, none of these people made it to Hollywood.
Then there was the adorable newlywed who's male model husband came into the room to help pick her songs. Which she then proceeded to trample with her show choir moves. But what a darn pretty couple!
And others of note? Well, a couple of cowboys, a hopeful future governor of Oklahoma, a guy who peels and saves his fingernails, a guy who insisted on continuing to sing terribly so long he was escorted out, and a sweet and super enthusiastic gravely car accident victim. Some made it out of a bit of pity, shockingly with these judges, and some made it in on some awesome talent.
So onward we go from the city of the first American Idol... another star is born... well, maybe.

Here is a story from eWeek that discusses Microsoft's recently announced plans to limit access to the MSN Messenger service by outside parties. There are several 3rd party messaging clients out there that allow you to connect to multiple networks simultaneously. My preffered client is Trillian, which supports MSN, AIM, Yahoo, IRC, and ICQ, as well as plugins for other services like RSS feeds.
If you read the article, you will see that Microsoft is arguing that security and user protection is the primary reason for their decision. I find this a little hard to swallow. I think MS is trying to protect their control of their own messaging platform. Honestly, the only way I would support licensing for access would be if it allowed the 3rd parties to put additional features in their clients, like support for video and remote assistance – features that are currently available in Windows Messenger.
Only time will tell, but I suggest those of you who use IM for communication follow this one. I will be.

It has been one crazy week here at GFC! We have 9 days left in this session and we are still having an amazing and fun time every day. This week the different units had some fantastic experiences!
The biggest thing that happened was Maccabiah! It was amazing to see all the kids come together with their staff and enjoy a couple days of competition!! Even though Kachol (blue) team won, all the teams displayed an enormous amount of sportsmanship. I want to especially thank the eight alufim (team leaders) that helped lead this incredible program.
Bonim B arrived on Thursday and enjoyed a night getting to know their unit and their new counselors. Our youngest campers participated in Earth Night with the whole camp and have future great programs to look forward to. Our annual Bonim-Kibbutz day is Sunday and our oldest campers will be partnered with our youngest to ensure some smiling faces throughout the day!
Niviim has had a hectic week with a variety show on Wednesday where there were some cool talents displayed! One of the most interesting evenings this week was called "A Bug's Life". Campers acted like bugs and got to look through wax paper to see things from an insect's perspective. It was great to see campers having an amazing time with such an innovative program.
Kohanim and Shoftim both enjoyed Stefani (Asst Director) Rozen's Bat Mitzvah this week! It was a fun occasion for them to dance and hang out with another. Stefani also enjoyed being recognized at their program. They practiced their upcoming participation in this Jewish tradition while enjoying it at camp with their friends.
Melachim and S'ganim enjoyed Girls Night Out on different days while the boys had separate camp outs and then later in the week they enjoyed pool parties. Fun couple of days for them! During Maccabiah, S'ganim campers were leaders for their team and got to enjoy a pizza party the last night for all of their hard work.
Kibbutz went on their annual trip to Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels. They camped out on the river and enjoyed two nights of activities, cooking and bonding as a unit. It was a successful trip for everyone who went and the campers had a blast.
It has been an eventful week here at GFC and we are looking forward to a fun and successful last 9 days of the session.
"See you" next Shabbat!

Bullying victims to host charity fashion show
Posted: March 28, 2014|
FORMER victims of bullying are to take to the catwalk to raise awareness of the problem.
Twelve women who have previously been subjected to intimidation or bullying will take to the stage to raise money for a new helpline in Nottingham.
The charity fashion show will take place on Wednesday, April 30, at the Village Hotel, Brailsford Way, Chilwell, and has been organised by Combat Bullying.
Charity founder Natalie Harvey was bullied as a child and targeted again online a few years ago. The 37-year-old mother of one, from Toton, said: "I got bullied from the age of four because I looked different. I was a white girl with a ginger afro. I used to get spat on, called horrible names, beaten up and I even got my arm broken when I was nine trying to stand up to a bully.

Britain's Got Talent: Nottinghamshire's Combat Bullying children to take to the stage
"It became normal for me, which should not happen. When I left school it stopped because I started changing by using products in my hair.
"However, in 2012 it started again after someone saw a picture online of me when I was younger. They started a hate campaign by sending messages, tweets and threats.
"I went through 17 years of bullying and I would not do it again so I called the police who helped me. Technology can be used in such a positive way but we have people taking their own lives because of cyber bullying and it has to stop."
Combat Bullying was set up in 2012 and its website receives thousands of hits a day.
Mother of two and former child model Sacha Taylor-Jobbins, 32, of Toton, said: "I am taking part because I absolutely detest bullying. I have been through it myself and it can happen to anyone.
"It started for me as a child with racist abuse and later in life there were cases when it became sexual. I also had things thrown. I felt victimised. It affected me in many ways and I had to leave my job because I would not accept it.
"I want to help make a difference and address this problem which many people go through alone."
Professional model and owner of Poppy PR Tina Clough has sponsored the event because of what she went through as a child. The 28-year-old, of Ilkeston, said: "I was bullied at school because of the way I looked. I got a lot of insults and had someone spit in my hair. It got to the point where I tried to move schools but in the end I finally ended up studying at home.
"The bullying disrupted years of my life but eventually I got into the idea that I was going to do something and I did not want to give in to the bullies."
The venue, catwalk and set for the show have been donated for free so as much money can be made from the event as possible.
Director Colin Lane, of MC Productions based in Lexington Gardens, Sherwood, said: "We provide catwalks and sets for the Miss England competitions and have donated one to the event. It is such a good cause to back because bullying should just not happen."
Tickets for the event cost £4 and can be purchased by calling 0115 808 4686.

How to fix a squeaky floor
We need help with squeaking floors which seem to get worse every day. Our house is 29 years old and has carpeting over all floors except the kitchen, foyer and some tub areas. What is the likely cause and what can be done to correct this problem?
- Angie's List member Mary Jane Pfuetze
The squeaks stem from the subfloor not sitting properly over the floor joists, according to Zoltan Olti, owner of highly rated AYC Group Inc., a home improvement contractor in the Bronx. "This happens over time as the house settles and the wood dries out, causing the subfloor to rub against the joists," he says. "The good news is that correcting this problem should not require the homeowner to pull back the carpet."
After tapping on the floor and listening for a solid sound when you come to a joist, the subfloor should be fastened to the joists where squeaks occur using screws. Specialty products like the Squeeeeek No More system or similar kits can do the job, Olti says.
Roman Rozinka, a highly rated handyman based in Ridgefield, Conn., believes the best solution is to pull up the carpet and secure the subfloor to the joists, using a subfloor adhesive or 2-1/2-inch screws. This method provides the added advantage of clearly seeing where the subfloor is currently attached to the joists.
"It gives you an idea of where the joist is running," Rozinka says. For a 20-foot-by-20-foot room, Rozinka estimated the work would take about two hours, at his $70 per hour rate.

"What we found, however, made sense. Turtles were regularly moving outside of the park boundaries where we believe they were encountering fishing nets and drowning, and later washing ashore where we would see them," said Angela Formia of the Wildlife Conservation Society's Ocean Giants Program.
The study revealed another critical finding: the tagged turtles spent more than half of their time in the Republic of Congo waters, highlighting the need for international cooperation to protect this species. The Wildlife Conservation Society is now working in conjunction with the national park agencies of both countries to join and expand Mayumba and Conkouati-Douli National Parks, creating what is the first international marine park in this region of the world.
"The proposal to combine and extend the protected areas will be incredibly effective," said coauthor Brendan Godley, professor at University of Exeter Cornwall and coordinator of the Marine Turtle Research Group. "We estimate that 97 percent of the most critical habitat for this population of olive ridley sea turtles would fall within the expanded park boundaries."
"Our results clearly provide a solid foundation for the implementation and extension of the transboundary marine protected area," said coauthor Michael Coyne, director of the non-profit SEATURTLE.ORG, which hosts a website where the sea turtles can be followed online by the public.

The Top 4 VMS Software Features
By Scott Dennison, Director of Marketing for Exacq Technologies, part of Tyco Security Products
All video management system (VMS) software platforms have features that make them unique. Here are the top four features within VMS software that you should look for when developing a solution for your customers:
- Fast, easy search and video management. While monitoring live video is important, most end users utilize VMS software for investigations and finding video evidence. No one has time to waste watching video for hours to find a specific segment. There are several different ways to search on most VMS interfaces including thumbnail and timeline search. Bookmarking and case management functionality lets users permanently save, label, and manage important segments of video, audio, and data for later reference and organize them into cases. Additionally, all bookmarks are retained and protected against deletion. A VMS should have an intuitive interface to quickly find desired video and export the clip to CD or DVD or save it to provide to law enforcement as evidence. The easier and faster the search interface is, the more time it saves.

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation 2012, 9:21 doi:10.1186/1743-0003-9-21Published: 20 April 2012
The aim of this review paper is to summarize recent developments in the field of wearable sensors and systems that are relevant to the field of rehabilitation. The growing body of work focused on the application of wearable technology to monitor older adults and subjects with chronic conditions in the home and community settings justifies the emphasis of this review paper on summarizing clinical applications of wearable technology currently undergoing assessment rather than describing the development of new wearable sensors and systems. A short description of key enabling technologies (i.e. sensor technology, communication technology, and data analysis techniques) that have allowed researchers to implement wearable systems is followed by a detailed description of major areas of application of wearable technology. Applications described in this review paper include those that focus on health and wellness, safety, home rehabilitation, assessment of treatment efficacy, and early detection of disorders. The integration of wearable and ambient sensors is discussed in the context of achieving home monitoring of older adults and subjects with chronic conditions. Future work required to advance the field toward clinical deployment of wearable sensors and systems is discussed.

Nomination tips
A TED Prize winner is a rare and powerful combination: someone who knows how to capture imaginations as well as how to make a measurable impact. A TED Prize winner is a visionary and a pragmatist, a dreamer and a doer. Here, tips on what makes a TED Prize winner and how you can make the most of the nomination form.
Top tips for nominations
- The nomination form is designed to gather information about the nitty gritty execution of the wish and the ways in which we might tell a truly inspiring and engaging story to the world about it.
- The heart of the TED Prize is the wish. Though it's small in size, it is the most important element of your nomination. It's worth investing your time refining.
- At its most basic, a wish = who + what + how = a better world. In other words, who are you going to engage on what issue and in what way for what kind of improvement?
- In order to create momentum, a substantial portion of the wish should be achievable in a one-year period. However, change takes time. The TED Prize winner will be given up to three years to fully realize their project.
- Please note that we weigh single nominations as heavily as multiple nominations and we strongly discourage multiple nominations. If more than five individuals nominate you in identical language, you will be disqualified, so "stacking the deck" won't work.
What makes a good TED Prize winner?
Nominees should demonstrate
- A distinguished track record
- The ability to articulate a world-changing wish that inspires collaborative action
- The vision and charisma to lead and manage others
- The ability to budget a $1 million initiative and execute a multi-year project
- The willingness to leverage both the TED and the TEDx community to support the wish
Anyone is eligible for nomination, including TED Fellows, speakers and community members.
Questions to ask yourself
Here are some questions to consider as you look over the wish that you've composed:
- Do the content and language both capture the imagination?
- Have I written this in the most accessible, fresh way possible? (Jargon kills a good wish.)
- Is there an opportunity to include an image, a target number, or some other element that might make the wish even more real?
- Is it clear what the big win would be at the end of 1-3 years?
- Is there a clear invitation to people to get involved?
- Would someone be able to recall at least some of this wish a week after reading it?
How to write a great wish
Here's an example of a dull, though worthy, wish:
I wish to save marine animals through communications strategies and public awareness campaigns.
And here's an example of a great wish:
I wish you would use all means at your disposal — films! expeditions! the web! new submarines! — to create a campaign to ignite public support for a global network of marine protected areas, Hope Spots large enough to save and restore the blue heart of the planet. —Sylvia Earle
- The former uses jargon and doesn't ask the reader for buy-in. The latter shows a genuine enthusiasm and engagement, and uses fresh, image-rich language to draw the reader in.
- If you are nominating someone else, you might want to approach the nominee about a possible draft wish. If no wish is included, but the nominee is strong, the TED Prize team will reach out to them as we winnow the list down.
A final tip
In the age of Google, we can easily find out what the rest of the world already knows about you. Your nomination should give us insights into the un-Google-able: What gets you out of bed in the morning, who you work with and are most inspired by, what you dream for the world. This is the stuff that makes your nomination stand apart from others. This is what makes you not just a great person doing great things (thank goodness, there are so many of you!), but a TED Prize contender.
Good luck!
