Robespierre says:
GDB number incorrect no?
VennData says:
Fed thinks the odds of the US recovery being durable are up.
call me ahab says:
and who care what the Fed says-
they have lost all credibility- this alone says volumes- from Bloomberg-
"Members noted the possibility that some negative side effects might result from the maintenance of very low short-term interest rates for an extended period . . .including the possibility that such a policy stance could lead to excessive risk-taking in financial markets . . ."
gee- you think?
"could lead" as in- it's not happening now-
what fucking buffoons-
they are causing the problems- you now- their previous policy actions that allowed long durations of easy money and asset bubble creation-
the Fed- what a joke- who needs them- no-0ne except bankers who want to ensure they are protected to make billions- whether or not they lose billions
Mannwich says:
@ahab: The Fed does a fabulous job of telling us what has already happened. Great at looking into the rearview mirror. I was in the car when I hear them make that statement on Bloomie about "excessive risk-taking" and laughed out loud. Like that's NOT happening now? "May lead to"? How about "has led to"?
VennData says:
"Share the Sacrifice" Act: Make the War in Afghanistan Deficit Neutral
Pay for those making the sacrifice. Deficit Neutral. This is what America is all about. I salute our troops. Write the White House to show your support for our troops.
call me ahab says:
and manny-
and the next question then is – assuming excessive risk taking- what is the Fed going to do about it?
nothing- and there's a proven track record we can fall back on to support that answer
Marcus Aurelius says:
We would do more by pulling out and cutting defense spending by 50%.
bsneath says:
Based on the charts it looks as though it is still all about the housing market. If housing continues to recover then we have a really bad L shaped recession. If housing takes another downturn, then hello W.
call me ahab says:
from ZH today-
"top British officials say that the U.S. discussed Iraq regime change long before 9/11. In fact, they say that regime change was advocated one month after Bush took office"
"Former CIA director George Tenet said that the White House wanted to invade Iraq long before 9/11″
"Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill also says that Bush planned the Iraq war before 9/11."
"The CIA warned the White House that claims about Iraq's nuclear ambitions (using forged documents) were false"
probably old news to many- but worth repeating-
ol' W must have had a biblical revelation about the "evil-doers"- lol
Mannwich says:
@ahab: The neo-cons were on Clinton to do it in later years of his second term. I believe he was giving it some thought at the time, so the Iraq adventure was in the works for a long time. We just needed a "reason" to do it. That reason was 9/11. If it wasn't 9/11, it would have been something else that caused us to go in there.
call me ahab says:
there is no way on this planet Clinton would have blundered into Iraq-
a young girls skirt maybe :D- but Iraq- no way-
if they had plans- which they probably did- they needed someone on board like Bush-
i still can't figure out why anyone was interested in invading Iraq- a secular country no less- i bet many of those folks on board wish they could back in time and change their decision on that-
but Bush- dude's sleeping like a baby
Mannwich says:
@ahab: Bush was trying to make up for what he (and the ne0-cons) thought was Daddy's blunder in not "finishing the job there". The neo-cons chicken hawks who didn't serve in Vietnam were trying to re-fight that war. Human beings, especially men, aren't that complicated.
tt says:
your analysis is correct, but you left out the real reason the bankers let them invade. OIL.
the way daddy bush left saddam in power as a foil against iran was brilliant. over the heads of most nitwits, and actually cost ghwb.
but the invasion and occupation was for nat resources like most wars. and of course Ike's farewell speech warning about profiteers in war industries. ain't nothing like the free money when the bombs drop.
Mannwich says:
@tt: Whoops. Forgot the biggest REAL reason. Thanks for the addition. A BIG and most important reason.
Mannwich says:
@tt: I think I omitted the OIL reason (the BIGGEST one) because it's so obvious (at least to any thinking, non-delusional, non-Disney-ified person).
call me ahab says:
call me stupid- but if its about oil- which on the face of it makes sense- but how did the invasion help us in that respect?
it isn't as if we are shipping oil to the States free of charge
Mannwich says:
@ahab: It wasn't intended to help the masses but the oil companies have done quite well, no?
tt says:
in case you did not get the memo, you and your fellow middlebrows like me and 99% of people were not meant to get help. wars are about the ruling class. i only dream about being a member. you should wake up or maybe it is better to believe the rulers care. the oil contracts have nothing to do with me or mine or you and yours. please no offense sir. you sound intelligent.
call me ahab says:
so tt-
so . . .to secure oil contracts? hmm . . .couldn't we have bid on them w/o a war?
my guess is it was a bit more complicated than that and includes the supposed need for a military presence in the region-
but then again- i'm not sure it was necessary or even adviseable to invade Iraq for those reasons- so maybe i will never understand
lalaland says:
So what if people/institutions are taking excessive risks – if they make money, great, more to spend on consumer goods, and if not, and they lose a lot, fuck 'em – they were obviously warned that taking a lot of risk might not turn out well.
Anyone who doesn't realize there won't be any more bailouts deserves to go down.
And Call me Ahab: it was about "he tried to kill my daddy". End of story.
I do wish people/institutions used the market to "invest" in the companies listed there rather than just using it as a giant profiteering machine. Perhaps the concept of owning stock has become a ruined, sullied and shat on paradigm and we need a new one…
hue says:
ahab, just like wall street (the money changers) you can make money on oil by handling oil. i think we wrote something in the Iraqi constitution about oil contracts … cheney was the CEO of halliburton, an oil services company, a simple forgotten, obvious fact.
Rumsfeld understood the need of Saddam as a foil to Iran, then he didn't. http://bit.ly/4Qhd73

Disability History from the Presidential Libraries
Today's blog post is written by Susan K. Donius and Sierra Gregg. Susan K. Donius is the Director of the Office of Presidential Libraries at the National Archives and Records Administration. Sierra Gregg is a summer intern at the National Archives and a senior at Truman State University in Missouri, where she is studying Computer Science. This year, she was awarded a scholarship from the National Federation of the Blind
This year marks the 22nd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed the act into law on the White House South Lawn in front of an audience of 3000 people. On that day, America became the first country to adopt a comprehensive civil rights declaration for people with disabilities. The ADA was a landmark moment in history, designed to provide universal accessibility in the areas of employment, public service, public accommodations, and telecommunications. As President Obama noted in 2009 at the signing of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Proclamation, the ADA "was a formal acknowledgment that Americans with disabilities are Americans first, and they are entitled to the same rights and freedoms as everybody else: a right to belong and participate fully in the American experience; a right … [ Read all ]

A letter to the President—in Braille
This week marks the 22nd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The National Archives holds many records that relate to American citizens with disabilities. From personal letters to historic legislation, these records from the Presidential Libraries provide insight into disability history.
For the opening of the Public Vaults exhibition at the National Archives Building in 2004, public affairs specialist Miriam Kleiman was assigned to track down and bring to Washington some of the people mentioned in the exhibition. This is her account of her search for John Beaulieu.
I was intrigued by the letters from children in the "Dear Uncle Sam" section of the "Form a More Perfect Union" vault. One unusual letter in the stack interested me a great deal—a letter written in Braille to President Dwight D. Eisenhower by a young boy in the fall of 1956.
Thirteen-year-old John Beaulieu offered the President the following campaign stump speech: "Vote for me. I will help you out. I will lower the prices and also your tax bill. I also will help the negroes, so that they may go to school."
The return address listed Perkins School for the Blind (Helen Keller's alma mater) in Watertown, Massachusetts. After my Internet searches led nowhere, I called the Perkins School but was … [ Read all ]

Summer Lunch Program helps families in need
June 25, 2013
While many kids are eager for school to end, for some families, summer means having to stretch every dollar to keep food on the table.
For parents of children receiving free or reduced-priced lunches through the Issaquah School District, having their kids out of school can increase the family's financial burden. The number of families in need has been on a steady rise for the past five years, according to Sara Niegowski, executive director of communication with the ISD, who said 10.3 percent of students are currently in the program, up from 6.9 percent in 2007.
Created by the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank with help from Eastridge Church three years ago, the Summer Lunch Program provides families of children in the Issaquah School District with a week's worth of breakfasts and lunches. This year, the program will run every Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. through Aug. 20.

The book I read to research this post was The Ancient Greeks for Dummies by Stephen Batchelor which is an excellent book which I bought from kindle. The ancient greek civilisation lasted for 2,500 years & died out around the time of Jesus which was as a result of a roman invasion. The ancient greeks are thought to have descended from the minoan civilisation which was the 1st organised civilisation originating around 7,000 BC. Eventually the minoans were invaded by the athenians. The greeks gave us the 1st history book The Pellopennessian War written by Thucydidine who was a high ranking athenian army officer who actually fought in that war hence historians know all about that war. There was actually 2 wars between Sparta & Athens & what started it was a slaves uprising in sparta hence they asked the athenians for help but most of the soldiers they sent sympathised with the pelots or slaves & they made it quite clear to the spartans who decided to deal with the slaves themselves. The first war was won by athens but sparta won the second war. It's interesting that sparta had the greatest army in the ancient but athens had what was thought to be an indestructible navy. A lot of people regard the athenians as being the 1st democracy in the world although only a minority were represented. Much of the ancient greek history is unknown & called the dark ages because it was only later on that writing was developed. The film 300 is based on the battle of Thermopyllae when the persians tried to invade & while some aspects of the film are made up it does a good job of depicting the horror & cruelty of that time.

|Antidepressants and bleeding risk after face-lift surgery.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22801798 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To determine the rate of post-face-lift hematoma among users of serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) vs non-SSRI users. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors have come under recent scrutiny because of possible bleeding risks. However, cessation of SSRIs carries inherent risks.
METHODS: The medical charts for 250 consecutive patients who underwent a modified deep-plane face-lift and 13 patients who underwent neck-lift from January 2010 to May 2011 were reviewed for the incidence of postoperative hematoma. Patients' medical records were examined for medical comorbidities, coagulopathy, and medication list, with particular attention to any usage of SSRIs or serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).
RESULTS: Twenty-two percent of patients were taking SSRIs or SNRIs. We observed a total hematoma (major + minor) rate of 1.95% for non-SSRI/SNRI users vs 1.72% for SSRI/SNRI users. The minor hematoma rate was 1.95% among nonusers vs 0% for users. The major hematoma rate was 0% among nonusers vs 1.72% for users.
CONCLUSIONS: Usage of SSRIs was more common in this large series of face-lift patients than in the general population. In these patients, SSRIs in the perioperative period are found to be safe and did not seem to adversely affect outcome. We found no evidence to support discontinuing SSRIs perioperatively.

|Acoustic pressure wound therapy in the treatment of stage II pressure ulcers.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19037138 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Pressure ulcers are localized skin injuries secondary to unrelieved pressure or friction. Patients with immobility issues are at increased risk for developing pressure ulcers. In 2004, stricter federal regulations for prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers in institutional settings--eg, long-term care facilities--were introduced. Effective, low-cost treatments for pressure ulcers are needed; acoustic pressure wound therapy (APWT), a noncontact, low-frequency, therapeutic ultrasound system, is one option. A retrospective case series of six long-term care patients (two men and one woman, age range 61 to 92 years), each with one Stage II pressure ulcer, is presented. Acoustic pressure wound therapy was provided as an adjunct to standard treatment that included balsam of Peru/castor oil/trypsin ointment, hydrogel, hydrocolloid dressings, silver dressings, and offloading. Outcomes (days to healing) were determined through changes in wound dimensions. Study participants each received APWT for 3 to 4 minutes three to four times weekly. In four of the six wounds, the average number of days to healing was 22. One of the two remaining patients discontinued treatment at 95% healed; treatment for the sixth patient was ongoing due to hospitalization that delayed APWT. In a long-term care setting, APWT added to standard of care may accelerate healing of Stage II pressure ulcers.

Tuesday Midday Links: Bad Sex Award given to an author...
The Harlequin Historical Authors are doing an online Advent calendar, starting December 1st. Each day, readers can visit a new historical author and have a chance to win signed books, chocolate, and other goodies. All entries will then be gathered together and one grand prize winner on Dec. 23rd will receive a Kindle 3-G loaded up with historical books. It's open to readers from the U.S., Canada, UK, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand.
Gordon Murray decided to write a book about financial planning when he found out he had six months left to live. Two years after that fatal diagnosis, Murray's self published book is being courted by several major publishing houses. Co written with Dan Goldie, the book "The Investment Answer", was the subject of a recent NYTimes article. Within 10 hours, the book had been sold out at Amazon. Currently there is a little stock left at Walmart.com.
The men have been contacted for interviews by CNN and others. Goldie is also being courted by publishing companies interested in taking over sales of the book that he self-published in September. He says it is not clear to him whether there could be advantages to using this approach. Even before the New York Times article, many of the 15,000 sales of the book had occurred. The book got a boost when the San Jose Mercury News published a similar article.
Murray said he went the self published route because he had the skills to self publish and didn't want to wait to try to sell to a major publishing house.
Some people are using Amazon CreateSpace to wrap up public domain books from Project Gutenberg and resell them. There isn't anything illegal about this although Project Gutenberg suggests the activity is unethical. PG would like Amazon to list all the PG books for free much like the Apple iBookstore does.
I'd like to know more about this litigation but ghostwriter, Vera Lee, was awarded $10 million for having written a false holocaust memoir.
A court had awarded Ms Defonseca and Ms Lee the money in 2001 after Ms Defonseca sued Ms Daniel for concealing profits, and Ms Lee counter- sued her for not giving her proper attribution for having co-written the book.
The Bad Sex writing award was given to Rowan Summerville for a single line:
Rowan Somerville won the Bad Sex in Fiction Award, the U.K.'s "most dreaded literary prize," for a scene in which a nipple is likened to the upturned "nose of the loveliest nocturnal animal, sniffing in the night."
Somervillle was on hand to accept his award and did so with grace. Can you imagine this happening in romancelandia? No, me either.
In fact, over at the Romance Divas, author and co owner of the site, Kristen Painter, suggested that one author writing a negative review of a bigger, better known author was akin to professional suicide.
Author B is strictly epubbed and not one of the big names, she's just got a handful of books out, most with smaller presses, but some recent ones with a bigger epub.
Now, the situation:
Author B gives Author A's new book a DNF review on a well known review site (amongst a slew of other 4 and 5 star reviews), saying some less than kind things about the book. Author B makes no attempt to hide who she is (another author).
Your take:
Is it just me or does this seem like professional suicide? Not to mention, pointless? Would you ever diss another, bigger author in a public way? What do you think about this whole thing?
I can't read the thread because RomanceDivas requires an account and my account isn't being recognized by the site. Is it professional suicide to diss a "bigger author"? Particularly if you are a lowly epublished author?
Is that because bigger name author will go about trying to get lesser name author blackballed ala the infamous Dixieland Mafia episode? A reviewer on Amazon wrote a negative review of a Harlequin Blaze that had been edited by Brenda Chin. Somehow that reviewer was outed as an aspiring author. I was privately told that the reviewer's name was plucked out of the Memphis RWA membership applications, a violation of RWA policy. There was some suggestion that Brenda Chin was forwarded the review so that she could be aware of what was being said. What's ironic is that ever since the Dixieland Mafia incident, I have been unable to read a book by the author who was originally criticized.
There was a number of authorial comments on a blog post by Alison Kent that was published in July of 2006. Said blog post and comments no longer exist at Kent's blog but on Dear Author, Julie Leto claims that editors are professionals and that if an editor like Chin, had a personal problem with an author she would pass the author to an assistant:
KelliJ, let me tell you something about Brenda Chin–and I can say this because I've been working with her for over ten years now. Yes, she is incredibly protective of her authors. She believes in us and our careers and as our advocate within the company, she is protective and supportive. She wasn't named Editor of the Year last year by PASIC for no reason. But she is–first and foremost–a consummate professional. From what I've heard, this woman is NOT submitting to Blaze at all, so Brenda would have no power over her career–but I do know that when Brenda has run across authors who have rubbed her the wrong way, she always passes that authors work on to another editor and recuses herself from the submission process.
Leto also goes on to say that authors have no power over other authors:
I'm going to say it for the last time–authors have NO power over what is bought and what isn't–nor should we. I know of one published author who attempted to derail another published author (a rival) back in the 80s. Called her editor. Spewed all kinds of hate. THAT author no longer has a career. The author she tried to screw with? New York Times, baby. (This published author also messed with me as a lowly unpub. I have no idea why-I'd never said two words to her. But I was young and cute at the time and that must have set off her warning lights. I have no idea if that editor rejected me because of it-I suspect not because in retrospect, that first book really sucked.) And this was all before the Internet.
According to Leto, a negative review by an epublished author on say…goodreads… about a traditionally published midlist author wouldn't be professional suicide and that any attempts by traditionally published midlist author might actually reflect poorly on said traditionally published author.

POSTED: 3:55 p.m. HST, May 17, 2012
Hawaii's unemployment rate fell by to 6.3 percent in April from 6.4 percent in March, reaching its lowest level in more than three years, the state reported today.
The state's seasonally adjusted jobless rate has been improving slowly from peaking at 7.1 percent in the summer of 2009 amid one of the worst economic downturns since statehood.
Most economists expect further improvement in the state's job market will be gradual as the economy slowly strengthens. The University of Hawaii Research Organization is forecasting the rate will average 6.1 percent this year and 5.4 percent in 2013.
There were 41,350 people looking for work in Hawaii in April, according to the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. That was down from 42,300 in March and 43,500 in April 2011.
Nationally the unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent in April from 8.2 percent in March.

Dear Valued Customer,
On April 17, 2012, IBM announced the sale of it Retail Store Solutions business unit to Toshiba TEC Corporation. We understand this transition may have implications on your business with IBM and the newly formed company, Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions (TGCS). To assist you in this transition, the attached letter describes some very important information to prepare your company for conducting business with TGCS.
I want to personally thank you for your business with IBM's Retail Store Solutions and look forward to a continued partnership as we launch Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions Corporation.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to your Retail Store Solutions Sales Representative if you require additional information.
John Gaydac
Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions
Executive Vice President Global Sales and Professional Services
On April 17, 2012, International Business Machines Corporation and Toshiba TEC Corporation announced that they had entered into definitive agreements whereby Toshiba TEC will acquire IBM's Retail Store Solutions ("RSS") business, which offers retail point-of-sale solutions worldwide.
To assist you in this transition, this letter describes some important information to prepare your business for October 1, 2012. Most of your IBM RSS contacts in sales, service delivery, support and education will remain the same. Many of the business processes will remain the same or be very similar. Here are some important actions you should consider:
- Setup TGCS as a vendor in your company.
- If you have a Purchase Order with IBM, you will need to reissue it to reflect the products that are moving to TGCS.
- If you have a quote for purchase outstanding from IBM RSS, you should work with your Sales Representative to receive an updated document from TGCS. The new document will have the same pricing IBM previously committed to you, however the part numbers, descriptions, and other information may change to reflect TGCS.
- Work with your Sales Representative to obtain your new customer number from TGCS.
We anticipate that you and your organization will experience a smooth transition. During this process, the IBM team and your TGCS representative are available to answer any questions and to address your ongoing product and service needs
Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions Affiliates
Subject to the terms of the contract and other relevant documents, your customer contract for IBM RSS products will be transferred to TGCS. You may have already, or will shortly, receive a letter regarding your customer contract.
List of Products Affected by the Transition
The list of IBM products that are affected by this transition can be found below.
Select a country:
New part numbers and product descriptions may replace the existing IBM part numbers and product descriptions. The correct part numbers and descriptions will appear on any quotes and invoices you may receive from TGCS.
Customer Identification Numbers
IBM customer numbers will be replaced by customer numbers from TGCS. Your new customer numbers will appear on purchase documentation. You may also contact your sales representative to obtain your new customer number.
Purchasing, Invoicing, and Accounts Payable
TGCS will use similar processes as IBM RSS for acquiring hardware, appliances, software products, and services. You should continue to work with your sales representatives to purchase RSS products and services. If you have a quote for purchase outstanding after September 30, 2012, you should work with your Sales Representative to receive an updated document from TGCS. If you have a financing contract with IBM Global Finance, this contract will not be affected by this transition.
With regard to payments, you should pay all invoices issued by IBM to IBM. All invoices issued by TGCS should be paid to TGCS. Please review your remit to address for proper payment. All purchase documentation, such as invoices, will be sent to the appropriate address listed in your current IBM RSS customer profile.
TGCS will also have a different vendor Tax Identification Number than IBM RSS.
Maintenance and Support Renewals
Following the close of the transaction, IBM will continue to provide maintenance and warranty services to TGCS clients under a multi-year service agreement. You should expect to receive seamless support from IBM under the terms of your current maintenance contracts. You should also continue to place service calls to IBM for all of your products using the same process that you use today. All IBM RSS open problem records (PMRs), including any open Critical Situations (CritSits), will continue to be open and worked by the support teams.
Over time, maintenance personnel are expected to join the new company as determined jointly by IBM and Toshiba. This will occur over a multi-year transition period, and we expect it to be seamless to our customers.
For support contracts, you should continue to work with your current IBM maintenance sales representative as you have in the past. They will be happy to assist you with any maintenance contracting needs for your retail products, be they IBM or TGCS products.
IBM and TGCS are committed to work together to help assure continued service excellence.

Mohd Syafiq Kamal (right) beat his Korean opponent in the first round of the NSC Circuit No.1 squash tournament on Monday. - M. AZHAR ARIF/ The Star
KUALA LUMPUR: A month long training in England under renowned coach Malcolm Willstrop has given budding squash prospect Mohd Syafiq Kamal a new perspective on his game.
Now the 17-year-old from Kota Baru is ready to put what he has learnt into action as he makes the step up to the senior level.
Syafiq was certainly on the mark as he proved too strong for South Korea's Kwon Hyeon-jun, winning 11-7, 6-11, 11-8, 11-6 in the first round of the NSC Series No.1 at the National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil yesterday.
"I really enjoyed my training in England. It was a good experience and I learned a lot of things ... most importantly was how to survive in the professional world without my regular coach," said Syafiq, who returned home on Feb 8.
"Staying away from home was definitely lonely. Initially, I missed my friends a lot. But I eventually adapted to it and I channelled all my focus on my training.
"I was training under Malcolm every day during the period and we worked on a lot of basics. It was all about getting the right swing, making the straight drives right and technique training.
"I also had the chance to play in the Professional Squash League (PSL) once. Even though I lost, the experience was very invaluable.
"Now that I'm back, my target is to climb from No. 284 in the world to the top 200 soon. But first I need to transfer what I learned back to the courts.
"As for today's match, it was definitely a good win and a good start for me although I started off tentatively. I'll be better prepared for the second round," added Syafiq who will meet second seed Harinderpal Sandhu of India next.
In other results, British Junior Under-17 runner-up Ng Eain Yow scored a big win after turning the tables on national back-up player Mohd Hannan Tarmidi.
Eain Yow beat Hannan 11-6, 11-8, 11-7 and will go on to meet third seed Ahmad Alsaraj of Jordan.
Top seed and defending champion Ivan Yuen also cruised through the first round. Three other Malaysians - Mohd Aqif Ampandi, Mohd Addeen Idrakie and Valentino Bon Jovi Bong – also made the second round.

internet campaign to restore star trek final frontier starts

Re: internet campaign to restore star trek final frontier starts
Greg Cox wrote:
I always figured that Starfleet was in no hurry to prosecute Kirk, which is why they were waiting patiently for Kirk and his crew to turn themselves in
instead of demanding their immediate extradition from Vulcan. Nobody really wanted to throw the book at the legendary crew that saved Earth from V'Ger and brought Spock back to life.
And after Kirk and Co. saved Earth
, from the whale probe, I figure Starfleet was sincerely grateful, not pissed-off.
^ This has always been my take on it as well. Vulcan is a Federation planet, Starfleet could have picked up the "exiled" crew anytime they liked. But they didn't, for various political reasons. Not least of which being that the only guy really
for Kirk's head on a plate was the Klingon Ambassador, and let's be honest: the Federation weren't exactly going to bend over backwards to do him any favors, were they?

The Undaunted Miss Coco Peru
Also see Richard's reviews of Teatro ZinZanni,
Drag queen extraordinaire Miss Coco Peru is holding court at the larger Decker Theatre at the New Conservatory Theatre Center through April 3rd. This very svelte diva, with a belting voice that is part Merman and part Tommy Tune, gives a dazzling 90-minute performance of stories and songs. Miss Peru, aka Clinton Leupp, is making her San Francisco debut after thirteen years in the business. As she says, "What the hell took you so long to ask me?" I want to know that too since she has been knocking out audiences on both coasts and recently won the 2004 GLAAD Award for Outstanding Los Angeles Theatre.
You might ask just who is this person whose looks are a cross between Marlo Thomas and Joan Collins and whose voice is a mixture of Charles Nelson Reilly, Paul Lynn and Lola Falana. Clinton Leupp is a native of the Bronx who had a rough childhood, with everyone calling him a "fag" or "girlyboy," so he decided to become a drag queen. After college he produced, directed and starred in his first show, Miss Coco Peru in My Goddamn Cabaret in 1991 which ran for two years at New York's Rose's Turn where she became a downtown cult favorite. Miss Coco became Leupp's alter ego when he received a 1992 MAC and Backstage Bistro Award for Miss Coco Peru: A Legend in Progress. Miss Coco has appeared in such movies as Girls Will Be Girls, To Wong Fo - Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar and Nick and Jane. She appeared on Bravo's reality show Boy Meets Boy and NBC's Will and Grace.
Michael Schiralli - who has directed Seth Rudetsky, Kristin Chenoweth, Varla Jean Merman and will be directing Tammy Faye Starlite - has devised a smooth 90 minutes of fun stories and songs. Leupp has written all of the material, recollections of his growing up and coming to terms with his identity. The act opens with Coco looking out of the frame of a large dressing room mirror and saying "Who is the fairest of them all?" She finds out she is not the fairest and then goes into a story of a middle-age woman in a chain drug store buying beauty creams but afraid to look into a mirror that reflects middle age.
The vivacious diva tells stories about her experiences on the reality show Boy Meets Boy with a person named Andrea, on the film Girls Will be Girls with Varla Jean Merman and Evie Harris. There is a wonderful story she tells about going to "work" in drag on a subway in New York plus some very heartfelt stories about her mother in the Bronx. Coco even makes a confession of being a "free prostitute on the streets of Manhattan" that is absolutely hilarious. She gets very serious when talking of finding who exactly she is and where she is currently in life's progress.
Throughout the story telling, Coco intersperses songs with her belting voice, including songs from The Little Mermaid and Beauty and Beast. She is great with "Sing," and, in a song from Chicago, she changes the the name from Roxie to Coco. There are two very upbeat songs at the beginning of the session, the upbeat "Beautiful" from Carol King's Tapestry and Alan Menken's exuberant feel-good song, "These are the Good Times."
Clinton Leupp has created the most engaging drag character in years. Miss Coco is elegant and glamorous, with a New York sophistication, yet she is very human and personable. Eric Cole accompanies her on the piano with great ease.
Miss Coco Peru Undaunted continues at the New Conservatory Theatre Center through April 3rd. The center is located at 25 Van Ness just off Market Street, San Francisco. Tickets can be obtained at their box office 415-861-8972 or on line at www.nctcsf.org. Productions coming up are Michael Lewis Maclennan's The Shooting Stage opening on April 1 and The Blue Dress opening on March 31st.

Why use RingCentral VoIP phone service for your small business?
RingCentral VoIP is part of a secure, reliable, cloud communications platform that eliminates the need for on-premise PBX hardware. It allows you to manage your communications from any location using your computer or mobile device. Traditional PBX systems involve hidden costs that are difficult to estimate up front. Besides the obvious price tags on hardware, software licensing, and new telephones, there are typically added charges for local, long-distance, and toll-free calls as well as other services. RingCentral VoIP is an all-inclusive phone service for small businesses that provides voice, fax, text, audio conferencing, online meetings—plus mobile and desktop apps—in one plan.
Get a big business solution on a small business budget.
RingCentral gives you many of the same tools that large companies use to grow their business. Because everything is in the cloud, you get all the benefits of a robust and versatile business telephone service without being responsible for its management and oversight. RingCentral manages your communications for you, for one fixed cost that's surprisingly affordable and budget-friendly. To help you get started, RingCentral offers a 30-day trial with a money-back guarantee.
"RingCentral has been great for us as a start-up. We have the ability to have the telecom infrastructure of a large corporation on a start-up budget."
Aron Susman, Co-Founder, TheSquareFoot
