Whistle Heads Down Wind on Major UK Tour
Editorial Staff • West End • 21 Aug 2001
Whistle Down the Wind, written by Lloyd Webber and Jim Steinman, was originally tried out in Washington DC during 1997. It opened at the West End's Aldwych Theatre on 1 July 1998, before closing two-and-a-half years later on 6 January 2001. Based on the 1961 film about three children who discover a stranger in their barn who they believe is Jesus, the show featured over 120 youngsters during its run.
Alongside breaking existing box-office records at the Aldwych, Whistle also provided a number one chart hit for Boyzone with No Matter What. Other featured songs include the title track and The Vaults of Heaven. The show was seen by over 400,000 people in its first year and was also the only major West End show ever to feature live snakes. Lloyd Webber's co-writer Jim Steinman had previously composed for, and worked with, such artists as Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler.
The production is directed by Bill Kenwright, with design from Paul Farnsworth and choreography by Henry Metcalfe. The musical director is David Steadman, with lighting design courtesy of Nick Richings.
Following the Plymouth opening, the show calls at Glasgow, Bradford, Cardiff, Birmingham, Oxford, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Sunderland, Wolverhampton, Aberdeen, Manchester, Southampton and Bristol. Three slots, one in November 2001 and two in April 2002, are still to be confirmed.

"In a world starved for truth and sincere answers there are few ministries that are sold out for the cause and the call of Christ. Humble TIP and Strictly 4 Jesus Ministries are one of those ministries. Through personal experience, I have seen countless lives changed, saved, and delivered by this ministry. Humble TIP's impressive lyrical content sets an atmosphere where relevance meets anointing and power, and thus allows for God to move in an unforgettable way. Humble TIP, through his craft of gospel hip hop, provides an outside of the box way to personify the verse "if I be lifted up, I will draw all men to my self". High energy, intensity are a few of the words that can be used to describe this ministry. After a concert or ministry opportunity, churched and un-churched alike have been taken through a journey that points them to the cross and pushes for a sincere decision. It is with this experience and knowledge that provide a strong recommendation for this ministry."

Chicago News
Eagle population surges in Illinois
Taryn Luntz
Medill News Service
January 12, 2007 @ 2:14 PM
As the bald eagle population soars in Illinois, sightings are becoming increasingly likely in the Chicago area and elsewhere in the state.
The majestic raptor, whose national numbers plummeted to as low as 450 nesting pairs during the 1960s, has recovered steadily enough to be taken off the list of nationally threatened species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service - a move the organization is expected to make next month.
During 2004's Midwinter Bald Eagle Survey, officials and volunteers counted almost 4,000 eagles in Illinois -- up from about 1,000 in 1978. Numbers dropped slightly in 2005 because of blocked survey paths and in 2006 because of an unusually warm winter.
The Illinois Audubon Society is currently coordinating the 2007 survey through January 17th. Sixty volunteers, including field biologists from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, drive 45 designated routes and count the eagles they see along the way.
Though officials admit the count not quite an exact science, the same routes are driven every year and the survey is a good indicator of eagle population trends.
While the official count is based on a summer survey of eagle nests, the U.S. Geological Survey coordinates the midwinter count to track eagles who winter in the contiguous U.S. but don't necessarily nest here. The birds fly into Illinois from northern areas, where iced-over rivers prevent them from hunting for fish.
That makes winter the best time to spot an eagle overhead in Illinois.
"We're the southernmost migration for a lot of the birds," said Kevin Ewbank, the lead park ranger at the Illinois Waterway Vistor's Center across the river from Starved Rock State Park, near Ottawa. The dam at the visitor's center keeps water flowing when other parts of the Illinois River are frozen, attracting hungry eagles.
"For the past 10 years we've been seeing higher numbers every year," Ewbank said. "Two years ago in February, we actually had a high count of 115 at one time."
Visitors can see the imposing birds roosting on trees, swooping down to the water and occasionally stealing fish from one another.
Bald eagles were so threatened by land developers and the pesticide DDT that they were once likely to be spotted in the U.S. only in wildlife documentaries. But the protection they recieved in 1978 under the 1973 Endangered Species Act, as well as the 1972 ban of DDT, prompted a comeback so successful that they now number over 7,000 nesting pairs, with even more flying in during the winter.
While the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers in the western part of the state house the largest numbers in Illinois, the birds are also increasingly being spotted around the Chicago area.
"You can see bald eagles regularly in northeastern Illinois during migration," said Bob Fisher, former president of the Bird Conservation Network and the DuPage Birding Club. Eagles that fly in for the winter usually arrive in November and return home in March -- two good months to spot them.
Fisher also said a juvenile eagle has been sighted regularly along the Fox River in Lake County.
A pair of eagles began nesting in an industrial area on the Little Calumet River on Chicago's Far South Side in 2004 -- the first bald eagles to nest in Chicago for more than 100 years.
Though the site is far from scenic, experts believe the birds chose it because it is relatively isolated and posed little threat to them from human populations.
Though bald eagle sightings are still rare, they are becoming less so.
"Anywhere you're near water, your chances increase greatly that you're going to see eagles -- certainly at the watershed of the Illinois River leading up into Chicago," said Tom Clay, Executive Director of the Illinois Audubon Society. "The odds are getting better every day that a person's going to see one."
Eagle aficionados who prefer not to leave it up to chance can attend the free Bald Eagle Watch Weekend at Starved Rock Lodge and the Illinois Waterway Visitors Center on January 27th and 28th. Multiple sightings are almost guaranteed, though eagles will probably number fewer than the 115 they had two years ago.
"This year is an anomaly because of the weather conditions," Ewbanks said. "Without the ice this year we really don't know what we've got out there."

Fire, police surveys seek input from Cumberland residents
Fire, police surveys seek input from Cumberland residents
CUMBERLAND - What do think about the Cumberland Police Department?
What about future plans for a consolidated fire service?
By coincidence, online surveys are asking this month for Cumberland residents' opinions about both emergency services branches.
To take the police survey, click on www.cumberlandpolice.com . Or pick up a copy at the police station.
And for the fire survey, go to http://goo.gl/cmcwji .
Speaking to Cumberland residents, Police Chief John Desmarais says he wants residents to tell him "if the police department is meeting your expectations and to identify areas where improvement is needed."
He says the survey "will provide valuable information we can use to better serve you and the Cumberland community."
It asks about residents' experiences with police officers, detectives, superior officers and dispatchers. Are they courteous, helpful, knowledgeable?
Another section asks about residents' opinions about how well the department is performing in the areas of addressing crime, vandalism, drug and alcohol uses, speeding, and more.
The CPD is also seeking opinions about its various programs, from community policing to Citizens Police Academy to child safety seat inspections. And it asks about "quality of life" issues, such as safety, crime prevention, and racial and ethnic relations.
The fire survey was devised by Fire Chief Brian Jackvony of the Valley Falls and North Cumberland districts after several focus group meetings with residents, elected officials and firefighters.
It seeks residents' viewpoints about the upcoming merger of the four independent districts. The chief notes that the survey is citizens' only chance to be heard on consolidation issues prior to the election.
Jackvony said the results will assist the interim consolidation board as well as the new leaders of the first single district, who will be elected in November.
Questions on the short survey include residents' opinions about combining fire administration offices with the proposed public safety building, attitudes about saving budget dollars compared to service levels, and several tax bill questions including whether they should be paid quarterly and whether Town Hall might take over the collection.
Jackvony also said he'll be using the results in a paper he expects to prepare for a course he's taking with the National Fire Academy.

Fact: Constituent Service Funds Are a Joke
If you wanted proof that the D.C. Council isn't really serious about ethics reform, listen no further than councilmembers' full throated defense of their goofy constituent service funds.
Throughout yesterday's hearing on Ward 4 Councilmember Muriel Bowser's omnibus ethics bill, various councilmembers gave impassioned soliloquies in favor of the funds and intimated that if they were to go away, then some of the city's most worthy nonprofits would go out of business, and some of its deserving students wouldn't be able to afford to go to college.
In theory, the funds allow public officials to raise private money to be spent for the betterment of the city, on things like helping poor residents pay their electric bills, supporting scholarship funds for students, and keeping tax dollars from being spent on the bottled water consumed by council staffers (and, full disclosure, sometimes LL). But in reality the funds bring out some of the slimiest aspects in District politics.
First, consider that donors to constituent service funds are likely more interested in building a relationship with a politician than helping the less fortunate. The donor rolls are replete with contributions from the monied interests that run this town. In his most recent filing, Ward 8 Councilmember Marion Barry reports raising a total of $5,000. All of it came in the form of 10 separate checks, all linked to the city's biggest road paving contractor, Fort Myer Construction. If a sane person wanted to give money to help the poor or educate students, LL's pretty sure the last place they would look would be any fund controlled by a politician.
Next, consider that the money is often spent on helping politicians help themselves, rather than helping those in need. There have been two number-crunching sessions in recent days that highlight this truth. The advocacy group D.C. For Democracy showed each councilmember had a low percentage of CSF spending in 2010 that went to "immediate constituent needs." The Washington Times today reported that since 2004, only 3 percent of total CSF spending has gone to power and water bills of the needy, and only 2 percent has been spent on helping with funeral costs.
So where does the money go? We all know by now about Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans' penchant for buying top-of-the-line sports tickets with his constituent fund. And that Ward 7 Councilmember Yvette Alexander blew tens of thousands of dollars on rent and phone bills for an office that's since closed down. Those expenses are obviously inappropriate, but councilmembers also spend gobs of money out of their constituent service funds, even on good causes, to help their strengthen their political brands.
Here's an example: Ward 3 Councilmember Mary Cheh spent $2,200 to dole out reusable grocery bags to her constituents in 2010, which is nice for those who got free bags, but also great advertising for Cheh. She also spent $5,200 last year on a "Ward 3 back to school barbeque," which included $2,600 for catering and what appears to be nearly $500 on moonbounces for the kids. LL's sure everyone had fun, but do we really want politicians using $5,200 of someone else's money to throw a big party whose underlying purpose is to promote that politician?
Politicians obviously do, which is why most of them are for keeping the funds around. Bowser's bill place some limits on the funds, but wouldn't change them drastically. That's a shame, because if elected officials were really serious about improving the corrupt culture that permeates District politics, then they'd admit the obvious: Constituent services funds don't work and it's time to dump them.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
In Costa Rica, funding for microfinance institutions is hard to come by, and many institutions find themselves having difficulty growing and reaching all the demand for loans that exist. Kiva works with Fundacion Mujer because it attends a very marginalized population in Costa Rica, with a specific focus on women. In addition to the loan, Fundacion Mujer provides specialized training programs for their borrowers on everything from computer classes to salon training.

A Thursday morning accident, involving two trucks sends one man to the hospital.
Ashford police said around 8 a.m., Timothy Granger of Cottonwood was driving a gray pickup truck when he pulled into the path of a two-ton truck, driven by Danny Cook of Midland City on Highway 84.
The two-ton truck overturned and spilled diesel fuel on the highway.
HAZMAT crews were called in and had the area cleaned up by 11 a.m.
"Just like the guy said, he pulled out and seen the truck thought it was in the outside lane in the turning lane, and when he went across he realized it was too late. And had he not realized it, this would have been a real serious accident," said Eddie Ingram, Deputy Chief.
Cook was taken to the Southeast Alabama Medical Center with minor injuries.

Whits to host Easter Invite
WALLA WALLA — The Whitman College men's and women's golf teams are zeroing in on the Northwest Conference Championships that are to be played April 26-27 at the OSGA Golf Course in Woodburn, Ore.
But before they head out for the regular-season finale, the Missionaries are hosting their own Whitman College Easter Invitational this weekend. The first round of the 36-hole event will be played Saturday at Veterans Memorial Golf Course and the second round will be held Sunday at the Wine Valley Golf Club.
Shotgun starts are scheduled for both days, with play commencing at 1:30 p.m. Saturday and at 8 a.m. Sunday.
On Saturday morning, prior to the collegiate players taking to the course, there will be a Whitman College golf fundraiser at Memorial that is being co-sponsored by the men's and women's golf clubs at Vets. The fundraiser, which begins with an 8 a.m. shotgun start, is a team best-ball competition with team and individual net and gross prizes.
Entry fee is $60 per player — $35 for those holding Memorial season passes — and proceeds will benefit the Whitman College golf programs. Those interested in participating can do so by calling the Memorial pro shop at 509-522-7059 or, better yet, stopping by the pro shop and filling out an entry form.
Also, all particpants will receive a 50 percent discount on their next 18-hole green fee.
For further information, contact Whitman men's coach Peter McClure at 509-301-8506 (firstname.lastname@example.com), women's coach Skip Molitor at 509-301-8505 (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Veterans Memorial pro Chris Repass at 509-522-7059 (email@example.com...
BEND, Ore. — The Whitman College men's golf team shot its second-best 18-hole score of the year here Saturday at the Broken Top Golf Course and found itself sitting in third place in a six-team field heading into Sunday's second and final round of the Spring Thaw.
Ignited by senior Jonathan Standen's best 18-hole score of the season, a 3-over-par 75, the Missionaries posted a 307 score that was 17 shots behind first-place host Willamette but just nine back of second-place Corban University heading into the final round.
"We're looking for more of the same Sunday," Whitman coach Peter McClure said following his team's solid performance on Saturday. "We'd like to see three more scores in the 70s on Sunday, and that fourth score could be crucial."
Missionary junior Scott Martin, who entered the tournament struggling to rediscover his short game, fired a 2-over-par 74 to set the pace for the Missionaries, and senior Andrew Welch, the Whits' No. 1 scorer on the season, turned in a 76. Sophomore Daniel Hoffman rounded out Whitman's scorecard with an 82.
"Jonathan (Standen) has his best score of the year and that really helped," McClure said in assessing his team's performance on the par-72 Broken Top layout. "Scott (Martin) has been trying to make some putts and he finally got it going, got the ball rolling in good fashion.
Welch's 4-over 76 was "close to his lowest score of the year," McClure said. And Hoffman's 82 was on the verge of being an even better round.
"He had a great front side," McClure said of Hoffman. "He's trying so hard, and he couldn't get it going on the back side. He had an eight on a par-5 and a double-bogey six on the par-4 17th."
Willamette's Ryan Kukula led the field of 22 with a sparkling 5-under-par 67 on a day that McClure described as ideal. Kukula was a comfortable four shots in front of Corban's Zach Mode, the only other player to best par with a 1-under 71, heading into Sunday's concluding 18 holes.
"It was nearly perfect," McClure said of the playing conditions. "It was in the high 60s to low 70s with clear blue skies and plenty of sunshine. The wind was gusting just a little.
"And the course was ideal, really, with the greens rolling at about 10.5. They did a good job of setting it up.
"It can be a challenging course if you haven't seen it before. At least we had the opportunity of seeing the course the day before."

Resolved questions
What's the difference between おかげさまで and ありがとうございます ??
Please enter between 2 and 2000 characters.
Sort by:
Best Answer - Chosen by the Asker
おかげさまで is said in response to a compliment, e.g., congratulating you on doing something well - like "wow, you did really well on your test!" To be humble and polite, you say okagesamade to mean "it really was thanks to your help, your good wishes, etc." ありがとうございます just means "thanks you". Incidentally, while we say "thank you" in response to a compliment on a job well done in English, saying ありがとうございます in Japanese *may* sound conceited (meaning, "yeah, you're right, I did really well on the exam!") So depending on the situation, to be humble, say おかげさまで。Basically, useおかげさまでto be humble and attribute the credit of your good fortune to the speaker...

Former Texas Tech running back Ronnie Daniels was supposed to officially join the Aztecs this fall and compete for the backup running back spot behind Adam Muema.
But in a surprising turn of events, Daniels told Rivals.com Friday that he has decided that he is done with football.
"All I have to say is sorry to all my fans and family," Daniels told Rivals in a text message. "I know it's hard for you to see me not pursue an athletic career. At the end of the day I have to do what's best for me.
"The time I sat out, I acquired a unique set of skills that I plan to use for everybody's benefit. Although the game is fun, it is definitely time to set aside childish things and help everyone progress. ... Football fell far from the tree. It's dead to me. Not balanced."
Daniels did not return a text message or phone call Saturday.

Krausberry is a blues-rock and hard rock band founded by singer Martin Kraus in 1984, after he left the group Bluesberry.
Points is an innovative and creative group, which won several international competitions. The original compositions attract not only its dramatic and dynamic, sometimes eruptivními changes moods and atmospheres, but also its characteristic sound.
Mrakoplas (Rincewind) is a band on the edge between genres of blues, boogie and folk. You can them regularly in Prague clubs Balbínova poetic tavern, Rybanaruby, Blues cellar, and at many summer festivals. They perform not only in its basic configuration (2 vocals, harmonica, guitar, bass, drums), but also very nice, chamber formation with light rhythm section, which is ideally suited to the smallest clubs and the acoustic stage. This band plays music spiced with the author's world-famous tracks, which adds to his repertoire in the three-hour long show.
Rene Trossman is a guitar player with a long history in Blues Music. Since turning pro in 1985 Rene has just about done it all. The fantastic Chicago club scene, where he was a regular at both South Side and West Side clubs, playing with the likes of Buddy Scott, Byther Smith, Lurrie Bell, Iceman Robinson, Little Mack Simmons, Lorenzo Thompson, Deitra Farr, and others.
The band Limited Edition, the founder of which is the pianist and composer Jan Hála, first showed up on the Czech Jazz Scene in 2001. The group had been introduced as a jazz antipode of Hála's fusion formation Hot Line and this also influenced the acoustic setup – originally with two wind instruments. Outstanding Prague jazz musicians gathered in Limited Edition: Hála brought in a splendid saxophonist Rostislav Fraš and a drummer Pavel Razím from Hot Line, bass player Vít Švec and Přemysl Tomšíček on trombone are two other jazz celebrities.
Canadian Jonathan Gaudet brings new life into traditional blues classics in all their energetic performances. His coarse and fine voice, slide guitar style and Amistar resonator Tricon takes you on a journey through space and time in music. Mississippi Delta Blues, the original French and Spanish ballads are part of the repertoire of this eclectic artist. – Translated by Automatic service
The trio performs their own songs and newly adapted standards. Mostly, they focus on concerts and the accompanying domestic and international soloists. Trio regularly performs at Prague's Reduta and also often abroad, especially in Germany. Trio released in November 2008 a new CD called Seven Dreams, which was filmed at the spring concert performances in Germany.
The performance of a group of hunks with Thomas often met with pleas of listeners, whether they sang some songs from the golden era of Czech Country, where he worked in the legendary skupně Greenhorns. Because the repertoire did not allow this hunk he began to entertain the idea of creating a new custom band, with which they could play and sing songs. So said the then leader of the bluegrass group Torso Charles Mrkvicka that would not give together a group that would go into it. Given that the fragment at the time just gone out of business, the new formation at each other not long in coming…
Martin Fišerová studied jazz singing at the Jaroslav Jezek College in Prague. As a singer gathers experience from around 2002, the band BlueSense long collaborated with jazz-rock impulse, with Laco and his Déczim Celula New York, with a trio of Walter Fischbacher, with acid-jazz group, Jan Kořínek and Groove or with a group Rajnošek Band.
To begin play in the composition Rabinoof zeťák Tony Hlavka (percussion), Michael Haman (percussion), Ivo Kharitonov (guttural vocals, harp) and guest John Press (violin). Then Radomil Uhlir reads, recites and sings to the accompaniment of the Quartet dr. Hemp in the composition of Tonda Hlavka (percussion), James McGaw (bass), Jan groom (tenor saxophone).

Television advertisements portray Christmas as a magical time of year. A time when good-looking families come together to consume prawns and sip champagne, and children never cry because Santa ''forgot'' to bring them a bicycle. In reality, it is often a time of tears, fights over politics and the airing of old grievances. We asked four Melbourne comedians to share their tales of festive woe
Anne Edmonds' worst Christmas happened when she was eight. That was the year she learnt that creative cat fur styling and chocolate make a terrible combination.
''My sister had turned 10 and decided she didn't want to play with me any more," recalls the comedian. "I was locked out of the room when her friends came around, told to stop lying silently under her bed at night and asked nicely not to smash her signed photo of Tim Watson and sob into the broken shards of glass.''
To help her through this traumatic time, Edmonds became fixated on the family cat, Bonnie, who was promoted to her new best friend. ''I dragged her around everywhere and whispered in her ear, 'Don't ever leave me'.''
On that fateful Christmas morning of 1986, at the height of her ''juvenile loneliness'', Edmonds decided to give Bonnie a bowl haircut. She went to the kitchen where she found a miniature bowl, took Bonnie into her room and starting snipping. ''Bonnie's hair was long enough to create an excellent bowl shape. It was stylish, cutting edge and a first for cats everywhere,'' she says.
''Christmas was being held at our house that year and 30 family members were coming over. About noon, I released Bonnie into the house sporting her new look.
I heard a shriek from my mother, 'My God, the cat! Who did that to the cat? Anne!'.''
Edmonds decided to hide.
''The dining table was already set for lunch with a beautifully ironed white tablecloth reaching all the way to the floor. I bolted underneath, grabbing a packet of after-dinner mints as I went.
''Just as our first guests arrived at our pristine house, I crawled out from under the table. I looked up apologetically at everyone, said, 'Mum, I feel a bit…' and threw up on the carpet and down the side of the tablecloth.
''Sent to your bedroom while the Christmas presents are being handed out: worst Christmas ever.''
– Alana Schetzer
Lisa-Skye Goodes learnt the hard way that there's one sure-fire way to ruin a beloved Christmas tradition — too much of a good thing.
Goodes' childhood Christmases were a thing of joy: – presents, happiness and ham abounded, she says.
And even after she moved out of the family home at the age of 20, her mother was determined to keep the spirit alive.
''This one year I was meant to sleep over on Christmas Eve so my family could eke out every last drop of Christmas morning happiness.
''Before heading to my folks' place, I stopped off at a friend's Christmas party. Like anyone, I'm a sucker for egg-based alcohol, so I enjoyed a few cups of eggnog.''
Arriving at the family home, Goodes managed to ''stroll to the bathroom and share the eggnog with the walls''.
The sound woke her mother, who had only an hour earlier settled her husband to bed after his own over-indulgence.
''I apologised to my mother, which came out as a slurred 'mummm-make-me-a-jaffle-please-oh-god-get-me-to-bed-quick'.''
Soon afterwards, Goodes' brother staggered in after a night out in a pub. He made a beeline for the newly cleaned bathroom, and well…
''The cleaning fumes obviously dazed him, causing him to throw up his Jim Beam-and-Coke-scented stomach lining.
''By the time my mother finished cleaning up – again – and went to bed, it was 3.30am. She woke up at 5am and started cooking the turkey. The rest of us wolfed it down in muted holiday joy.''
– Alana Schetzer
Justin Hamilton hasn't had a bad Christmas for more than three decades – he has his mum to thank for that.
"Every year mum and I get together and we close the blinds, we lock the doors and we watch movies and eat food and don't pick up the phone. And it is awesome," Hamilton says.
So it's a kind of festive lockdown? "No, it's just a lockdown," says the comedian.
The Hamilton family tradition traces its origins to a particularly painful Christmas lunch with the extended family. There was a bickering uncle and aunt, a drunk relative and a cousin Hamilton makes clear did not beat him up but did "smack me around a little bit".
Hamilton was about eight at the time and his mother – a single parent – was hosting the festive lunch. "My mum, who was 27, just turned around [to the relatives] and said; 'Guess what? You are never spending Christmas with us again. You've ruined it; you can all go elsewhere'," he recalls.
"The first year the relatives were all kind of incredulous and the second year they thought everything was just going to get back on track." But it didn't. "And it's glorious, it is glorious," Hamilton says of their unconventional Christmas tradition.
There is no traditional food consumed, no cloying movies watched year after year and no unwanted guests. "The only tradition is the tradition of not letting anyone else come through the door," he says.
"Every year, there is someone who says, 'Yeah, I might pop in'. Well, we won't answer the door. There is no invite; there is no extra space at the table."
But nor, says Hamilton, is there any false Christmas cheer, and he spends the day with a loved one. "If you ask me, 'Isn't that sad?', I would say 'no' because we are probably being truer to the sense of what Christmas should be than the people who all get together because they have to," he says.
"It's a really simple day of the year and it's relaxing."

Simon Taylor's atheism was born on Christmas Day. There was hay and even a donkey – but the comedian casts his tale in a different light.
Raised Catholic, Taylor says he started picking apart his faith in his early teens. "Easter would be a big deal for me. My parents were very Catholic. I just remember crying at Easter, 'Oh, Jesus, you died for us' and I got really upset," Taylor says.
"Then I read Harry Potter, 'Oh, Harry Potter, you died for us', and I got really upset. It was the same story."
At 16, his suspicions were confirmed while on a two-month scholarship to India. His private school had picked two of the most religious students for the trip, which included visits to schools, orphanages and remote villages.
"I was no good at sport, I wasn't the best student in the class but I did do community service well – it was something I cared about," he says. But a weekly tutoring gig at the Richmond commission flats and a placement at the Starlight Foundation had left Taylor underprepared for the slums of Kolkata.
Taylor spent time at Kolkata's Home of the Dying, where people were brought off the streets to die. "Not to be too punny, but that was a nail in the crucifix of my religious faith. We just saw so much poverty and death."
As Christmas approached, Taylor travelled further afield. "We were staying in mud houses, with no electricity and no creature comforts." Turning down the rice beer at dinner on Christmas Eve might have been a mistake.
"I'm sleeping in a haystack in a mud house with other animals, so there's goats, there's chickens, there's donkeys and there I am … and because I didn't drink the rice beer – which is very acidic – I've now gotten sick from the food.
"So I'm clutching my stomach, I'm 16 years old so I'm a virgin, I'm on a stack of hay, I've got the smell of donkey poo and it's Christmas Eve. And I'm thinking, 'If people in the west knew this was the real spirit of Christmas, perhaps we wouldn't celebrate it so much," he says.
It was, he says, the final straw.

Plan for instruments to create 3D map of galaxy gets funds
Plans to design instruments that will help create a 3D map of the galaxy have received £500,000 of UK funding.
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) has agreed to support the next design phase of equipment that can map the movements of one billion stars and help scientists learn more about the phenomenon of dark energy.
To do this, several international teams will attempt to develop a way of using tiny robots to rapidly position thousands of fibre-optic cables within a telescope.
The fibre optics are needed to capture sufficient light from distant stars and galaxies and feed it into a spectrometer. This will reveal how fast the waves are moving towards or away from the Earth and enable researchers to plot the movement of the source.
It will also allow them to recover patterns of sound waves from the early universe that affected the initial distribution of galaxies, in order to see how the expansion rate of the universe has changed over time.
Because the increasing speed at which galaxies are moving away from each other is thought to be driven by dark energy, this data will help scientists learn about the nature of the hypothetical phenomenon.
To gather enough data, the instruments will have to collect thousands of stars' spectra at any one time and astronomers will need equipment that can easily rearrange thousands of optical fibres to study each area of the sky.
One of the teams is led by STFC research group RAL Space with principal investigator Dr Gavin Dalton, professor of astrophysics at Oxford University.
'If you put a fibre down to target each one of those stars across the field of view and you feed that whole bundle of fibres back together and line it up at the entrance to the spectrograph, you can now take all of those spectra simultaneously,' he told The Engineer. 'So the trick is to have a nice way of moving the fibres around.'
There are several methods for positioning the fibres already in use so the researchers need to determine which would be best to scale up to deal with the thousands of cables needed.
One idea is to use thousands of tiny robots to control each fibre. A similar instrument in Hawaii that can position 400 cables in the form of 'carbon pencils' but the new equipment would need 5,000 robots within a half-metre diameter cylinder.
'It's all about miniaturisation, to make them very small and compact,' said Dalton. 'You actually have to worry that you've now got 15,000 motors of some description very close to each other so they could electromagnetically interfere with each other.'
The programme will complement a European Space Agency (ESA) project to map the galaxy using an imaging satellite named Gaia, due for launch in 2013, that will track the precise position and velocity of the stars in two dimensions (up and down, left and right).
With the new equipment, scientists on Earth will be able to measure velocity in the third dimension (forward and back) by measuring the Doppler shift of the light waves — how the waves change relative to the movement of their source.
They will also be able to study the chemical make-up of stars in more detail, revealing information about how stars were originally formed in groups with similar chemistry and gradually spread out after these groups merged to form the Milky Way.
'[The new project] can get that extra bit of information that Gaia itself can't get, and that makes the whole data set much more useful,' said Dalton. 'This will be a legacy data set — people will be mining it for 20 years.'
Even with thousands of fibre optics operating over five years, the equipment will only be able to gather data on a few million stars. But this sample can then be used to build a picture of the velocity of the one billion stars Gaia is mapping.
The programme involves academics from a number of European and US universities and research institutes working in teams to develop instruments at five observatories in the Canary Islands, Chile and Arizona — although only a couple are likely to be built.
Readers' comments (3)
This is yet another example of waste!
What good is this is type of excessive expenditure, what does this realy achieve?
When you look at the state of the finances of Europe and the US and the debt burden surely it would be better to focus on reducing expenditure rather than waste funds on intellectually challenging meaningless research projects for the academics/boffins.
Its about time the politicians and academics got their heads out of the clouds, placed their feet firmly on the ground and were in touch with the real world and did real productive work for the common good.
As most Engineer readers will know, pure scientific research never led to any useful technologies such as X-rays or the internet. And technology that involves the manipulation of fibre optic cables couldn't possibly have any other application in society.
Waste of exactly what? The money spent on the development of this project will largely be used to support high technology companies that will build the instrument that in turn will safeguard jobs which in turn will provide tax revenue. Furthermore, it will assist in our understanding of our universe. Some people may actually think that this is a noble goal.
If you want a good concrete example of a waste of public funds, the cost of obesity to the NHS is forecast to reach 6.3 billion pounds by 2015.
My first thought was "what's the point" but you can never tell where research of any sort will lead you, and tight econmic times are exactly when you need to invest in projects to expand knowledge.

ClintonNewHartfordWhitesboro. In Tri Valley League boys' soccer, the schools might as well be one word. Regardless of how the names roll off the tongue, the triumvirate dominates annual conversations on the eight-team league.
In Tri Valley League boys' soccer, the schools might as well be one word. Regardless of how the names roll off the tongue, the triumvirate dominates annual conversations on the eight-team league.
"Certainly, you can't talk about our league and not talk about Whitesboro, Clinton and New Hartford," Oneida coach Dewayne Cronk said. "Those are the Big 3. We try to compete every year as much as we can. We've found it difficult to get wins versus those three schools."
Every year since 1998, one of the Big 3 ended the season with the best overall league record. The last team other than those three to win the league was Chittenango in 1997.
Now, the league is divided into two divisions - East and West - making it more likely a Warriors or Spartans team earns a league crown. Clinton is in the TVL West. New Hartford and Whitesboro play in the East.
An East Division title turned out not to be the biggest accomplishment for New Hartford in 2009. The Spartans (13-1 TVL, 20-3) shared the best overall record with Clinton, then rolled through the postseason. New Hartford won the Section III Class A title and advanced to the state finals in Oneonta.
New Hartford, which shared the state Class A title in 2004 with Jericho, was defeated by Comsewogue 2-0 in November.
This year will be a different story. For now, the Spartans are as difficult to figure out as the direction of a 50-50 ball.
"You never know from one year to the next year," said Fredsell, a Spartans assistant in 2005. "Who's going to step up and play? I have to replace 20-something goals that Zach (Hecox) had and Dennis (Halpin), he was my rock back there (on defense)."
Hecox and Halpin, both members of the All-Mohawk Valley team, moved on to play college soccer. Halpin is at Misericordia University in Dallas, Pa. Hecox is playing at Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Hecox was the leading scorer with 62 points, including the sudden-death game-winning goal in the Spartans' state semifinal victory over Byram Hills.
Senior midfielder A.J. Wolfanger, the third New Hartford player selected to the All-Mohawk Valley team last year, returns as one of the area's top players. Possession is Wolfanger's specialty. He had 13 goals, and one of his 20 assists set up Hecox's game winner in the state semifinal.
Replacing Hecox, Halpin and two other defensive starters might prove too difficult for New Hartford, which also returns Joel Kamilow, Joe Affatigato, Ben Toach and defenders Nick Dardano and Kevin Chapman.
Whitesboro has four key returnees in seniors Mitch Cain, Dave Abdou, Garrett Fletcher and junior Mike Wurz.
The Warriors (8-6, 10-8) are a young team, said fourth-year coach Ben Karas. The roster is dominated by juniors and seniors, but he has three sophomores who will see significant playing time: defender Pat Wiggins, midfielder-forward Luke Kosuda and Oliver Wise. Ten of Whitesboro's 19 players are juniors.
Page 2 of 3 - "They're confident young men," Karas said. "They wouldn't be there unless they showed something and I think they will come along."
Cain, with top-notch ball skills, will be needed to control the midfield.
"I'm counting on him doing the same thing he's done the last two years," Karas said. "His ability to get to space when he needs to. I hope for him to teach the younger players how to do it in the middle."
The changes in New Hartford and Whitesboro leaves one obvious choice as top dog, said Holland Patent coach Ron Haier: Clinton.
"My pick would be Clinton to run away with it," Haier said. "I don't think he lost many guys. Creedon is coming back and he should lead the league. I think Gil (Palladino) is going to be loaded."
Trevor Creedon became the first Clinton player to win TVL Player of the Year honors outright in 2009. Creedon, a senior midfielder, scored 20 goals with nine game winners and four in overtime. Clinton was 13-1-0 in the TVL, 16-2-0 overall.
Like Karas, Palladino's roster is dominated by 11th graders. The 23-man squad is all juniors and seniors with 16 from the junior class. The last time Palladino carried an all junior and senior team was 2001. That year, the Warriors' season ended with a sectional final loss in the Carrier Dome. Chittenango shut out Clinton 3-0.
This season it might be difficult to beat Clinton based on field minutes. The four senior co-captains and 14 juniors combine for more than 60 years of varsity experience.
Sixty years? How often does that happen in high school sports?
"I don't know," Palladino said. "That has to pay off someway. "It's not just kids hanging on for dear life. They're kids who love to play and a good number play year round."
Cronk's Oneida team had a program-defining victory in the first round of the Section III Class A playoffs. The 12th-seeded Indians (5-9, 6-10) defeated defending champion Fulton on the road 3-2 on an overtime goal by Sam Adams.
"It was a lot of fun, we had a lot of parents up there and the boys certainly enjoyed it," Cronk said.
Adams, a senior defender, is one of Oneida's returning players. Among the other returners are three starters: senior forward Connor LoMonaco, junior defender David Rougeaux and junior midfielder Evan Cooley. Also back are: junior goalkeeper Tyler Miller, junior midfielder Cary Reifschneider, senior forward Kevin Cavangh and senior midfielder Ryan Meyers.
Haier's Holland Patent team graduated eight seniors, including seven starters. The Golden Knights' defense took a hit from the Class of 2010. Second-team TVL junior Elliott Conners started every game at sweeper, but he's the only returning player.
Page 3 of 3 - The Golden Knights (9-5, 11-6) are searching for a full-time goalkeeper. Ben Neal, Holland Patent's leading goal scorer in 2009, will get some time in goal. The senior forward scored 14 goals last year and will see minutes in the field. Senior Ryan Kessler also will play in goal.
Also back are midfielders Augie Allen and Craig Ashcroft. Clinton transfer Jonathan Doolittle, a junior, also will be in the midfield.
Two-year starting goalkeeper Grey Benincasa graduated. His brother Austin will fit in at either midfield or forward.
"We're still looking to go .500 as a minimum record," Haier said of the team's status in the league. "It's not going to be easy especially with the goalkeeper situation."
