Back in August 2012, our friend, Robin Sukhadia reported on a multimedia exhibition called WORD TO YOUR MOTHERLAND where we first saw NISHA K. SEMBI's art on display. Based in the Bay Area of San Francisco, she endeavours to bring into culmination innovative and vibrant styles of art whose outcome will be a manifestation of her. Nisha's main focus of work is directed towards bringing awareness to the emerging hip-hop movement that is currently sweeping India.
Nisha set out to bring two elements that really influence her and by merging the two she has created her own conduit, a new style called Kalakari …
We caught up with Nisha to find out more about her work, influences and the philosophy of Kalakari.
How would you best describe your work?
When I bring into fruition any form of art, I always delve into it with the idea that my resulting piece will be a reflection of who I am. With any art, my goal is to produce something that sheds light on the different elements that I embody. By combining Indian culture with hip-hop culture, I have channeled a new style called Kalakari ("Artistry") through which I have been crafting acrylic paintings and street murals that break through traditional boundaries and defy the limits of our society through a process of decolonization. With my art, I hope to empower those that are struggling and to bring to light the issues that matter the most.
What gave you the idea of merging together hip hop art with Indian influences? And how does music inspire your art?
Growing up, I was always painting and drawing. Initially my professional art career started as a Mendhi (henna) artist. I remember being fascinated by Indian patterns and decoration at a young age and eventually started getting better and better with applying mendhi with a cone. Eventually, I was being hired to do mendhi at weddings and festivals professionally. Though Mendhi kept me connected to my culture through art, I was hungry to work with new mediums and soon discovered graffiti Having been raised in California, I was constantly surrounded by hip-hop culture and street art. I became a hip-hop head at a young age and started meeting other writers. I thought graffiti was so dope, but I never thought I had any sort of capacity to do it since I was just a little Indian girl with no real artist role models.
I used to tag up my notebooks and experiment with letters, but I never dared to write on the wall…after all I had no idea what the process behind it was or where to even buy spray paint. Then one day, I found myself at a family party, where I snuck into my uncle's room and found that the place was bombed from top to bottom stickers, tags, and blackbook sketches. I realized that my own uncle was coincidentally a graffiti writer who wrote HERO back in the 90s. I showed my uncle my sketches and even though they were complete garbage in the beginning, my uncle saw something in me and started to mentor me; showing me how to harness my craft and develop my style. Since then, I've been painting walls that have classic funk-style graffiti elements along with cultural influences from my Punjabi Indian background. Most of my spray paint work has some kind of Indian/henna motif weaved in there somewhere. It's how I illustrate pride in my culture and my people and how I stand apart from the rest of the pieces you see.
My most recent project includes taking some of my art and applying it to apparel design, launching my very own clothing line called Kalakari (kalakaricollective.com/shop.) last winter. I've always had an interest in fashion and street wear and designing and producing my own clothing line allows me to reach out to people through a different medium and create clothing that I've always wanted to wear. Kalakari clothing caters to everybody that ever wanted to rock a dope t-shirt with some Indian flavor and a hip-hop twist.
How have people reacted to your art work?
For the most part, I'd have to say that people have had positive reactions to my fine art work. Usually people see my art and are extremely receptive because they've never seen anything like it and can sometimes identify with it. During my first solo art show, Word to Your Motherland: An Exhibit Showcasing Hip-hop in India, lots of South Asian folks approached me with excitement and enthusiasm – saying that my work was inspirational and empowering. The work that I create has a specific intention behind it, to create something innovative, to break down boundaries, and reach out to our generation of South Asian Americans that are hungry to discover art that resonates with them. With my graffiti/mural work, however, I get a mix of reactions. For the most part, people are shocked or confused by the fact that an Indian girl is painting a graffiti style piece with spray cans on a public wall, since that is something that has never really been done by before in the US. People see a giant wall-sized graffiti piece and have a hard time connecting my face to it. I get a lot of folks asking, "YOU painted..THAT?" It feels good to shake things up from time to time.
Did you ever feel your inspiration was running out at some point? What kept you going eventually?
After I graduated with a degree in graphic design, I spent months looking for work with absolutely no work since the economy was in shambles. My inspiration and motivation was at an all time low. I had promised myself that I would take a trip to India after I graduated and since I wasn't working, I decided to visit the motherland. When I got there, I discovered that the Hip-Hop scene was just starting to flourish and it was the most beautiful thing to experience. Some parts of New Delhi and Bombay looked just like the Bronx, NY in the 70's when Hip-Hop was new and growing. I saw kids break dancing barefoot in old concrete forts, and met graffiti writers that were bombing walls with liquid paint since they didn't have access to spray paint. Seeing my own people dedicating themselves to this movement with so much passion and little to no resources was the ultimate inspiration. Whenever I find myself lacking motivation, I think of those kids in India that continue to push forward despite endless obstacles and hold it down for all of us in our motherland. I like to think that all the bboys, bgirls, and graffiti writers in India communicate to me through their art and send me the energy to keep me growing, producing, and repping hard.
Is there a process or ritual you go through before you begin creating? And if so, what is it?
Any piece of art I create has a certain process behind it. It all starts with a dope concept that I'll spend time sketching out and building until its ready for the canvas or wall.
Are you ever satisfied with your work? If you have [are], how do you know when you are done? If not, how do you let go of a piece of art?
I am the type of person that is never satisfied with my art. I always feel that there is room for improvement for each piece and I'm highly critical with my own work. I have learned to finish a piece and become satisfied with it, but there's always something I hope to improve on for the next piece of art I create. Coming from a graffiti background, I've learned to become less attached to my work. There has been times where I've spent countless hours painstakingly painting my best walls, only to see them get buffed (painted over) the next day. That just comes with the territory. It's experiences like that which make it easier for me to part with my work. Sometimes, however, if I grow really fond of a particular piece, parting with it is difficult- it's like giving away your kid or something.
Do you feel as if your art work reaches out to people?
It's very important to me that I push my art as hard as I can and reach out to people through my work. That's one of the reasons why I chose to paint walls in public spaces, so that I can put up my art and my message where it will get a lot of visibility and will force people to look at it. To me, graffiti is one of the last known forms of free speech, and in a society where we get bombarded with advertisements 24/7 it's important for me to put your own message out there to show that I am here and I am alive and contributing to society with my art. I also take efforts to incorporate certain political messages or even cultural influences in my work in hopes that (brown) folks will see my work and understand who painted it and why. It is also really important for me to reach out to people in India as well, which is why I painted walls in New Delhi while I was visiting. It was a dream of mine to paint in my motherland and take my art back to my roots. Last year, I was fortunate enough to do a graffiti piece in my native language Punjabi for the first time in India. I chose to paint my name in Punjabi in an effort to decolonize my art and message, and so that I could specially reach out to the people there. That being said, I believe that my work reaches out to people all over the world, whether visibly or spiritually.
Which movements have you been influenced by?
I've been influenced by the global Hip-Hop movement, Different Arts movements such as the Black Arts Movement that took place in the 1960s, and various political movements that brought about social revolution such as the Civil Rights Movement, The TWLF and the Movement towards Ethnic Studies, and The Free Speech movement that took place in my hometown of Berkeley, CA as well as the Gadar party and and any and all movements dedicated towards decolonization and social justice.
What challenges have you found in your work?
Being the first known South Asian female on the American graffiti scene is a constant challenge because graffiti and art are not very well accepted in my culture, and there is the pressure and responsibility that comes with breaking through barriers and paving the way to a certain degree. Growing up, I didn't really have much encouragement from my family to pursue my art and I didn't have any South Asian female role models to look up to.
Additionally, being a female graffiti artist is challenging because it is such a male-dominated culture and I've had to work twice as hard to get any sort of recognition or credibility. I find that being a female writer can work for or against you in some cases. For example, I've been totally dismissed and disrespected at times but I also have the advantage of being a bit more inconspicuous. At the end of the day, however, I believe that it's your skills, creativity, and innovation that really matter and set you apart- regardless of if you're a male or female.
Lastly, any words of advice for aspiring designers/artists?
Be original and stay humble. Learn about your history and let that inform the intention behind your art. Have a meaningful purpose and keep innovating. Study the originators of your art form and have respect for the people that paved the way for you. Don't get discouraged when your work isn't recognized or appreciated in the beginning.. Everybody has to pay their dues

Today I Witnessed a Story
By Cheryl Wright
Friends and acquaintances often ask where I get my ideas. Mostly, larger-than-life characters walk through my brain, playing out the scenes they want me to relay. When they don't, with all those years and life experiences behind (and ahead of) me, there is an absolute multitude of ideas available.
So... what to write? Most of my ideas come from without - if it happens to me, or someone I know, I write about it. It makes me a better writer to think about what goes on around me and fictionalize it. That, for me, is more challenging than writing from scratch.
Like the time I almost got knocked of my feet by one of those @#%@ couriers that ride around the Central Business District on a pushbike. So what did I write about? - A feisty young girl (so I bent the truth a bit!) being knocked over by one of those dastardly upstarts with his bike.
A friend-- who lives alone on the corner of a dark lonely laneway-- thought the aliens had landed when she woke up to flashing red lights in the middle of the night. She sat up in bed terrified for about fifteen minutes, cautiously got up, and finally peered out the window. What did she see? Not aliens, that's for sure! The house opposite was engulfed in flames, and the road was jotted with emergency vehicles.
So what did I do? I made it into a short story. In my version the heroine almost squashed her cat to death in her terror, fantasized about the boyfriend she'd thrown out-- wanting him to protect her-- then bit the bullet and set about searching the house for the little green men.
Finally, she climbed up on a chair to look out a high window, and lo and behold, saw flashing lights. (She didn't need a man after all!) But it didn't end there; at this stage the reader still doesn't know what's going on. The heroine can't believe her eyes, has a second peek, then mesmerized walks out the front door to join the neighbors. The reader is still kept in the dark, and the last sentence finally reveals the true situation.
On another occasion, a very hunky, very sexy, young soldier began to shed his clothes in front of me in a car park. (Yes, really!) Unfortunately for me, my dear husband arrived in the middle of the strip tease and alerted the hunk, er, soldier, that he had an audience. The end result being he only stripped as far as his bare chest. (Damn!!) Naturally, it quickly became a short story where the soldier peeled off his clothes, item by agonizing item, a silent, mesmerized audience of one watching. And yes, her husband interrupted.
Letting my cat out at 3 a.m., I opened the back security door and in my half-asleep stupor thought, 'What if I opened this door and someone came flying through the door at me?' Okay, I know, most people don't think well at 3 a.m. – I do. It's a great time for me to write. Try it – you'll see the world from a whole new perspective. I would love to set up a comfy chair outside the front door, or anywhere for that matter, and watch the world go slowly by. Alas, too dangerous these days. But... what if you could? What would you see, or better yet, what would you imagine?
Ideas are everywhere, just waiting for you to add that little extra ingredient – the writer's perspective.
Every writer uses different methods, so I asked around.
Pat Ballard, American author of Wanted:One Groom and other novels with 'big, beautiful heroines' told me:
"I got the idea for Wanted: One Groom from a newspaper article that was printed a couple of years ago. A young man was about to turn thirty, and his friends had been harassing him to get married, so he told them to run an ad in the paper, interview the women, and he would marry the one they picked out for him! They did, and he did, and the last report I heard, they had fallen in love. Now that's a real-life romance story!
"As soon as I read the article, Wanted: just started writing itself! I had to really work hard to keep up. I think the same thing happened to someone else, because just as I got finished with Wanted: a movie came out with the same story line, but with a guy doing the advertising! I was just crushed.
"The novel I'm working on now also came from the paper. One of my special places to watch for ideas is the 'weird and strange' section of our newspaper."
Elvina Payet, Australian award-winning short story writer said:
"How I get ideas for short stories and future novels is easy - life. Seeing everyday events, such as strangers passing by on the street, or watching the evening news or reading the papers. Something may flag my interest as a potential storyline, while other instances I use the 'what if' scenario - thereby changing an ordinary event into one with a twist.
"I watch people a lot - I'm just waiting to be told off by someone for staring. But it's great to see their reactions to stimuli - also helps with the emotional intensity in my work."
Jan Durkin, Melbourne Romance Writers Guild, writes:
"Where do I find ideas? I've always liked watching people. People sitting talking to other people, oblivious to me across the way, listening.
"Rude? Probably, but those half sentences, wrongly interpreted looks and gestures set my mind ticking. Are they...? Do they...?
"TV. Yes, TV. I'm a compulsive documentary watcher and taper. Then there are those strange, out of context things, like a half-heard commentary on Gardening Australia about the sex life of ferns. Give me a break; it's been a tough time lately in Casa Durkin, okay?
"Reading. For years all I read for enjoyment was history, ancient history, Egyptology, biography, the classics and travel guides. Boring? Probably, but boy have all those useless facts come in handy in my writing. And now, since I've become addicted to what the Americans call cozy mysteries, with the occasional romance thrown in for good measure, I have developed a fully rounded personality. Include here sanity and insanity, of course.
"It helps to have that degree of insanity (D.I., Melb.) when you're looking for ideas, because you usually don't have far to look. The trick in successful idea finding is to write them down, when you get them. Otherwise you're always looking for the ideas you've already had and have misplaced. Somewhere."
Marion Loe, multi-published short story author, also from Australia, says:
"For me, the most important thing is to pay attention when I get an idea and make a note of it. This sounds a lot easier than it actually is because I'm getting ideas a lot of the time and it gets to the point where I ignore the little voice or the mini video that plays in my head that is telling/showing me the idea.
"Does this sound strange???!!
"So, for me, I have to jot the idea down and for that, I carry a little notebook around with me (and a pen) and I really make an effort to pay attention because in a lot of cases, the idea comes from the side, not directly in my face with trumpet and banner saying Short Story Idea! or Novel Idea!
"Are you following this?
"Ideas come from everywhere and anywhere. My antenna is up and open all the time because you can get them, as you would know, in the most boring/interesting/unlikely/most likely places. One thing I find is that when I'm stressed, the ideas don't flow. Nothing flows. I've been reading about specific brainwaves that indicate when the brain owner (or does the brain own the person?) is in creative mode these always correspond to when the person is most calm and relaxed. So, from this point of view, I'm trying to relax more (for some it's gardening, cooking, walking, meditation, tai chi - you name it).
"There's nothing more destructive for creativity and its connected processes than stress, and I'm sure you can recall your own examples of this. If I'm in a bit of an ideas drought or I don't want to work on anything I've got, I try to trigger ideas by various word games or reading newspapers and magazines. One of my most profitable short stories came from an idea I got reading readers' letters in a mag.
"The main thing is to make a note of the ideas when they come in. I keep a box that contains old notebooks, scraps of paper, all sorts of newspaper articles that have sparked off ideas, and every so often I sort through it and make a few more notes on others so that I've always got something to work on.
"What I often do with these ideas is just jot them down, then play the 'what if' scenario. I write down whatever comes to mind – no matter how ludicrous. Then I'll leave it for a while, and let it brew. When I come back to it I just play around with it some more. It either grows and develops from this process or it falls away.
"But I don't throw it out if it doesn't work out; I just put it back in the box. Sometimes I've found the idea is good, it's me that has to develop to match the idea and do it justice."

Game Hints From EA
1. When a defense looks prepared for your current play, use a quick audible to regain the upper hand.
2. While playing through the Madden Test, be patient. Hurrying through the drills will cause your Madden IQ to suffer.
3. Use Formation Subs in certain situations to bring a new player into the game. That backup player just might have the skills needed for the current play.
4. Playing Superstar as a Tight End gives you the best of both worlds, allowing you to play as a Lineman and a Wide Receiver.
5. It's a good idea to use your EA Rewinds like timeouts, saving them for crucial situations.
6. Enter into endzone hotspots to trigger special player celebrations.
7. Calling a short yard FB run play with a backup RB is a good way to increase the odds that yards will be gained.
8. Read the Madden Moment description carefully, sometimes a FG is good enough to complete the Moment.
9. Remember to utilize the Field Goal Block Return play whenever a long FG is attempted.
10. Importing your Fantasy Football Team from your Fantasy League gives you the chance to test your team's mettle on the field.
11. Use the stiff arm special move to break more tackles with the ball carrier.
12. Using an All Madden or Fantasy Drafted created team will give you the advantage when playing in Franchise or against a friend.
13. When punting is not an option, use the QB Sneak play to push for those last couple of yards in short yardage situations.
14. When a play doesn't go the way you planned, don't hesitate. Use EA Rewind to try it over again.
15. Utilize the Player HUB to see what part of the game your friends are currently playing in.
16. Use the Player HUB to send game invites as well as Online league invites.
17. Talk is cheap. Create custom Online Leagues with your friends to see who is truly the best at Madden.
18. Use EA Sports World to help track your accomplishments in all game modes.
19. When playing multi-player games, make sure to use the Bluff Play selection to hide from your opponent which play you are about to run.
20. Create new offensive and defensive plays in NFL Head Coach 09 and import them into Madden. Your opponent won't know what to expect!
21. Take advantage of the new tackle breaking system. Press a button or move the highlight stick while getting tackled to attempt to break out of it.
22. New to Madden? No problem. Use the Beginner Game Style for a simplified Madden experience.
23. Madden knows how good you are. When you finish a game, advance to the Virtual Trainer to improve your weaknesses.
24. Longing for the days of Maddens past? Play Madden 93 with the 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition.
25. Pause no more! Access Instant Replay, Challenge Plays, and view stats without ever leaving the playcall screen.

Lamb Curry
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 1 hr 30 mins
We eat this a lot, sometimes using beef or chicken, and find this an easy dish when we want a quick curry fix. You can add a couple of peeled, diced pootatoes and about 2 cups of water for the final 30 minutes of cooking.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 kg boned and diced lamb shoulder
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3 large onions, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons vinegar or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 fresh red chilies or 2 green chilies
- 2 tablespoons chopped of fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander or 1 tablespoon mint
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan, and gently fry the onion, garlic and ginger until soft and golden.
- Add the curry powder, salt and vinegar and stir thoroughly.
- Add the lamb and cook, stirring constantly until the lamb is coated with the spice mixture.
- Add the tomatoes, chillies and mint.
- Cover and cook over a very low heat for 1 1/4 hours or until the lamb is tender, stirring occasionally.
- Add the garam masala and chopped coriander in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- *note-the tomatoes should provide enough liquid for the meat to cook in, but if necessary, add a little hot water, (approximately 1/2 a cup) just enough to stop the meat sticking to the saucepan.
Most Helpful
I loved this curry! It was a choice between yours and a rated one. I'm glad I picked this one. I had basically everything on hand, and it was geat. I thickened it slightly with cornflour at the end. A thicker sauce is personal choice. Congrats!!
Just as good as your other recipes!
O'kay I did'nt quite cook as per recipe but that was my choice partially due to dietary reasons I only used 1 onion and cut into chunky so that the DH has he has an intolerance to them could pull it out (he likes the flavour but if he ingests them he gets very bad stomach cramps) and omitted the the mint and coriander as we don't really care for either (our choice). I did use beef (gravy beef/boneless shin) as lamb is helishly expensive and not very good quality at the moment. As I have a lot of problem getting anything to simmer on my stove for a long period (and oh I used a cast iron pot [La Crueset]) and once I coked it to the simmer point I bunged it in a 160C fan forced oven for 2 hours and I have to admit as it was cooking the smells were intoxicating, I left it uncovered for the last 15 minutes to thicken up the juices (I have to admit I was worried about no liquid going in but it is amzaxing how much the tomatoes leach out. I used a mix of a hot Madrass curry and regular curry peowder (1 tablespoon of each) and lemon juice but I usually cut it with a little bit of sugar (about 1/4 teaspoon) and because I didn't it had a slightly rough taste. The only other thing I would do differently though would be to peel the tomatoes (put a cross in the base with a sharp knife and plunge into boilding water for about 20 seconds, scoop out and into a ice bath and they will peel easy peasy). Overall a good easy curry that packs some taste behind it. UPDATE - used a 2 k leg of lam which I deboned but I only had a couple of small tomatoes so used 2 x 400 grams of tomatoes (one was whole peeled which I added with juice and the other which was diced I drained and added to the mix when called for) and as we were on the tail end of flue I used 2 well heaped tablespoon of Madras curry powder and 5 Thai chillies (seeds and all) to pack some punch and cooked in the oven as I did before though half way through the cooking we decided to add some potatoe so finely diced a medium potatoe and diced a large potatoe to bite size pieces so the small pieces dissolved and thickened the sauce and the large pieces became part of the dish - enjoyed by all.

Are you having trouble dealing with your very own Master Lock combination? Don't worry, you are definitely not alone. Master Locks are very popular all throughout the world and every day, millions of people deal with them in doors, cabinets, and other places that have locks in them. If you would like to find out or just want to learn more about the Master Lock combination padlock, its features and basic troubleshooting when you encounter some of the common problems in these devices.
About Master Lock Combinations and More…
There are many different kinds of locks in use nowadays. Master Locks with combinations are only one type of lock that happens to be very popular among many people all over the world. This kind of lock is very popular because of the ease of use and convenience that it offers. Before Master Lock combination padlocks, people had to carry keys around all the time, often in key chains that can be hooked up to their pockets, wallets, or bags. With the advent of combination Master Lock padlocks, people no longer needed to carry around keys all the time. Instead, you don't have to carry around anything at all, except for the knowledge you need to open your combination Master Lock padlocks. As an owner, you will have the option of setting up your very own lock combination. Afterwards, you also have the option of sharing your lock combination with certain trustworthy individuals or just keep the combination to yourself. Here are some of the most useful features of master combination padlocks.
Outstanding Features
- Versatile: can be used to lock doors, cabinets or enclosures of all sorts
- Secure: Very sturdy and reliable compared to other kinds of locks
- User-friendly: Easy to use and take advantage of
- Convenient: Uses a combination instead of a key that may be duplicated or lost/stolen quite easily
Master Lock padlocks are very convenient because as long as you keep the combination in your head, your lock will be safe and sound from unauthorized individuals. You don't have to worry about keeping a key or a number of different keys safe in your possession. All you have to worry about is getting to your Master Lock combination padlock and getting to work with your memorized lock combination. But sometimes, users may forget their lock combinations and therefore lock themselves out of their locks. The first thing most people do is to try a Master Lock combination lookup in hopes of bringing up certain kinds of potentially helpful information. Here it should be noted that Master, the company, doesn't have a record of lock combinations for certain locks since it is the user itself who sets it in the first place. So what can be done next?
If you ever forget how to open your very own Master Lock combination padlock, you still have an option to reset it. In order to reset Master Lock combination padlocks, you will need to have them in open position. Otherwise, you will have to contact a locksmith. So there is always hope for your Master Lock combination even if you lose it.

I've got 400 brass sitting around and the dies are new in the box for a couple of years now. I need more brass but this will get things started. Before ordering fmj's I wanted to see if there was anything out there to share. Looks like Berrys has Montana Gold beat by $20-25 per thousand. Thanks.

William E. Anderson · 1995
Bill Anderson, heralded by his co-workers at The Indianapolis Star as one of the best street reporters ever to work at that newspaper, covered hard news without being a hard guy.
Here are four leads from four of his most famous hard news stories.
From the Star's 1974 Pulitzer Prize-winning series on police corruption in Indianapolis, a series he co-reported with Harley Bierce and Richard Cady:
"Widespread corruption in the Indianapolis Police Department — including graft and protection for prostitution, narcotics, bootlegging and gambling — has been uncovered in a six-month investigation by The Indianapolis Star.
"Involvement in corruption by dozens of Indianapolis policemen is not limited to taking money, but has lead some member of the department into criminal activities, the probe showed."
From a 1969 Shelby County plane crash:
"Eighty-three persons perished in the collision of a jetliner and a small airplane piloted by a student high above Indiana farmland about 14 miles southeast of Indianapolis yesterday afternoon. There were no survivors."
From a 1971 multiple slaying:
"Three men, their throats slit and their hands and feet bound by sheets, were found murdered yesterday in an Eastside home, police said."
From a 1970 murder investigation:
"The mysterious disappearance of three former wives of a 49-year-old murder suspect is being investigated by a special team of Indianapolis detectives, it was learned yesterday."
Hard news yes; hard guy no.
"One of the unique things about him," Cady told Star columnist John Shaughnessy when Anderson retired, "is that he has always applied to his work the same values that he applies to his life. In his personal life, Bill is a good person without guile. What you see is what you get. And he's the same way as a reporter. He's as nice to a wino as he is to the governor."
That approach served him well during the reporting of the 1974 series on police corruption. Even though they undoubtedly knew that the resulting series would damage the police department's image, more than 60 police officers shared with Anderson and his fellow reporters records and information that substantiated the charges.
Lawrence "Bo" Connor, The Star's managing editor at the time, explains Anderson's ability to get people to talk:
"Bill Anderson spent a great deal of time cultivating sources, especially the police. He liked and understood the police and knew where to go to get information…. Bill was genuinely sympathetic to people. They seemed to understand this and responded."
Listening, Anderson would tell young reporters at The Star, is the reporter's best tool.
Reporting the police corruption story eventually landed Anderson and Cady in jail. Marion County Prosecutor Noble Pearcy took offense at The Star's series, and Anderson and Cady were indicted for conspiracy to bribe a policeman. Two months after they were jailed, Pearcy was defeated in his re-election bid, and Pearcy's successor dropped the charges against the reporters.
That was a close brush with the law. He also had a close brush with death. In the 1950s, while out riding in a patrol car with the police, he was struck by a car with a drunken driver at the wheel. "It shattered my arm, broke all of my ribs and crushed my liver," Anderson told Shaughnessy. "I got the last rites three times. I was off work for six weeks." Several policemen donated blood to help keep him alive during and after surgery.
That near-fatal incident came not long after Anderson joined the newspaper in 1950 as a copy boy. He quickly became a reporter (the promotion raised his pay from $28 a week to $40) and was put on the police beat, the training ground for most new reporters.
In 1956, he left The Star for the next 13 years, first to be news director for WXLW radio, then to be Mayor John Barton's press secretary and then to be advertising director for Merchants National Bank.
But ink still flowed in Anderson's veins, and this son of a Star printer and brother of two reporters returned to The Star in 1969.
"I just wanted to get back in the business. No day is ever alike. You come to work and you don't know what's going to happen that day." He went back to the police beat, cultivating those sources that would serve him well in the next few years leading up to the 1974 police corruption series.
Fast forward to 1988 when Anderson, now a Star assistant city editor, retires. He said he knew it was the right time when he realized that Indiana's new governor, Evan Bayh, was that same 6-year-old son of the U.S. Senator he covered in 1962.
Anderson was born on the eastside of Indianapolis in 1926 and has lived his whole life in the Capital City except for time served in the military in World War II. He's a graduate of Arsenal Technical High School and attended Butler University.
In addition to the Pulitzer, Anderson won national awards including the George Polk Memorial Award, the National Headliner Club's Tom Paprocki Memorial Award, a Drew Peason Award for investigative reporting, a Society of Professional Journalists bronze medallion and an Associated Press Managing Editors award.
When announcement was made that Anderson would be inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame, Joe Gelarden, Anderson's reporting colleague and golfing buddy, wrote in tribute:
"They (the Hall of Fame) picked a hod carrier, not an architect. A private with a notebook instead of a general with shiny buttons. A back-row fiddler over a conductor.
"They picked a guy who was so devoted to his craft he nearly gave his life for it. He was indicted and jailed for it. And he helped bring this newspaper one of the handful of Pulitzer Prizes that have been won in Indiana.
"They honored the career of a man who felt the most important thing a newspaper reporter and editor could do was to listen to the public.
They honored Bill Anderson. The best damn newspaper reporter I ever met."
And how does Bill Anderson himself view this, "Fortunate in life. Same wife, six children, 10 grandchildren and was able to work in a profession I love."
Some hard guy.

Anderson lives in Indianapolis with Gerry, his wife of 45 years. Their six children are William M. Anderson, David Anderson, Mary Ragsdale, Eileen Sexon, Kathleen Anderson and Susan Anderson.

LITH Carryout Restaurant Goes Sitdown
"King Wok was mostly carryout," said owner Ming Chen. "Here (formerly a Baker's Square restaurant) there's seating for 140 people."
Besides an updated oriental decor at the new restaurant Chen said he plans to expand his menu for a more contemporary flair. "We're going to add lettuce wrap appetizers," he said. "We're going to have more fish including Szechuan fish. We're going to add Pad Thai noodles, too."
Chen said the new restaurant would have a "soft open" before getting up to full speed. Right now he said he's recruiting a wait staff for the new sitdown operation.
In the pic: Ming Chen plans the final details to open Chen's Chinese Cuisine in LITH next week.

Brazil 2009 Foreign Tour
The Washington women's soccer team embarked on a truly life-changing experience in the summer of 2009, packing their bags for a two-week adventure in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The trip was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Husky players and coaches to see the sport of soccer, or futbol, where it is a way of life and a culture for the people of Brazil.
The Huskies raised over $70,000 for the trip through donations, clinics, winter academy and spring break camps and a spring game fundraiser against the Sounders Women's Select team. In addition, players and coaches chipped in to cover some costs, and with a huge helping hand from XL Travel and Tours, the entire team and several staff members to experience the beauty of South America's soccer mecca. The team learned valuable lessons about soccer's place in their life and saw what the sport means to people struggling with poverty.
Head coach Lesle Gallimore summed up the impact of the trip best.
"They know that's an experience that will catapult them into being better players mainly from the standpoint that they got to see what soccer is like in a culture where soccer is everything. They were able to see how much joy there is for the game," Gallimore said. "You can talk about competition and expectations and all those kind of pressured-filled, negative, intense feelings that can be around it at times, but in Brazil everything having to do with soccer is happy and joyful."
"I think our kids picked up on that and it's that light bulb you want to have go on within your student-athletes that says, `yeah it's hard work. But if you work hard and you dedicate yourself to something it can still be really fun and rewarding.' It's not something that has to be job-like and pressure filled. That light bulb went on for a lot of our players."
Share in the memories of the trip below by checking out Gallimore's blogs from Rio along with a photo gallery chronicling the entire trip from the eyes of Husky players and coaches. Additionally, a series of mini-documentaries about the trip created by the players will be available soon.

The large porch/living space (c. 265x320cm) is ideal for establishing a small dining area, your camping accessories and gear storage.

Isn't that cooler than just saying NFL Week 16? Admit it. You didn't think I knew words like that. Now might be a good time to do fun with NFL Math where we discuss the various playoff permutations (see another big "P" word! – I got a million of them [Rodan thinking – "and you're going to try to use them all, aren't you? Next year I'm giving this column to Song-and-Dance Man"]) . So here we go —
Houston, New England and Denver have clinched divisions; Houston clinches first-round bye with either a win OR a loss by Denver or the Pats. Houston clinches home-field with win and Denver and Pats loss.
Denver clinches a bye with a win AND a Pats loss.
Ravens clinch division with win or with a tie AND Bengals loss. Will face wild card no matter what. Question is – who?
Colts clinch a spot with a win OR Steeler or Bengal loss
Bengals clinch playoff spot with win.
I think. There are a couple of good pretzel logics in the hunt by they involved this team wins plus a loss and a tie and this team gets lost on the interstate and doesn't make it to the stadium. Many will be disappointed.
Falcons and Packers have clinched their divisions.
Atlanta has clinched the No. 1 seed with their win over Detroit last night. And mega congrats to Megatron for his "phantasmical" capture of the single season receiving record from Jerry Rice. Still – 26 years is a long time for a record!
49ers clinch division with win and first-round bye with Packers loss
Giants clinch playoff spot with 1) NYG win + CHI loss + MIN loss + DAL loss + WAS loss or tie OR 2) NYG win + CHI loss + MIN loss + WAS loss + DAL tie
You may want to grab a beer for this next one:
Seahawks clinch spot with (are you ready?) 1) SEA win OR 2) CHI loss + MIN loss + DAL loss or tie + WAS tie; 3) SEA tie + NYG loss + CHI loss or tie OR 4) SEA tie + NYG loss + MIN loss or tie OR 5) SEA tie + CHI loss or tie + MIN loss or tie OR 6) SEA tie + DAL loss + WAS loss + CHI loss or tie OR 7) SEA tie + DAL loss + WAS loss + MIN loss or tie OR 8) CHI loss + MIN loss + WAS loss (I blocked and copied that from the NFL website – let those overpaid sports writers do all the work)
Here are the matchups this week. As you can see from the above, several of these have real playoff repercussions (okay, not a "p" word but pretty good, huh? [Rodan – "I swear, whoever gave her that word-a-day calendar is gonna pay!" (looks accusingly at Speranza and M)]
Raiders @ Panthers
Saints @ Cowboys
Titans @ Packers
Vikings @ Texans
Patriots @ Jaguars
Colts @ Chiefs
Bills @ Dolphins
Chargers @ Jets
Redskins @ Eagles
Bengals @ Steelers
Rams @ Buccaneers
Browns @ Broncos
Bears @ Cardinals
Giants @ Ravens
49ers @ Seattle (I can only imagine the sobriety checkpoints going up around town tonight)
And Merry Christmas to all and to all at least one great touchdown pass thrown by your favorite quarterback.
**CW addition:**
It's the 40th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception.
A split-second's worth of improvisational genius by Franco Harris turned around a game that was lost, a franchise that had gone nowhere for 40 years and the consciousness of a city just beginning to undergo seismic upheaval.
But for years, Harris never realized what it meant when he transformed an all-but-certain Terry Bradshaw incompletion 40 years ago Sunday into what is universally regarded as the greatest play in NFL history.
Even if that pass had ricocheted harmlessly off the Tartan Turf at Three Rivers Stadium and not into his outstretched hands just below the knees, Harris would have been a Hall of Famer and the greatest running back in Steelers history.
The Steelers probably would have won four Super Bowls in six years, still the greatest run in pro football history. And Pittsburgh's transformation from a big-shouldered city built upon heavy industry into one with a good head on its shoulders guiding an economy based upon health care, higher education, computer wizardry and banking would have taken place.
Franco Harris made the Immaculate Reception, but the Immaculate Reception, he said, did not make him.
"At the time, that play didn't hold any significance to me, none whatsoever," Harris said. "It didn't even enter my mind. … I tell people that we really didn't reflect on it during that decade. It just wasn't at the top of your mind because we were doing so many other great things that it wasn't really part of much conversation."
But anyone who saw the Immaculate Reception almost instantly recognized that they witnessed something astonishing. The late Steve Sabol, head of NFL Films, once said there wasn't another play like it in his library of hundreds of thousands of plays.
Physics tests performed at Carnegie Mellon University more than a decade ago and an unearthed NBC-TV video of the game — which shows the deflection more clearly than the much-viewed NFL Films version — point clearly to Tatum as the man who created the ricochet.
Many who were there said they never heard a noise like that in Three Rivers' 40-year-old history — the pent-up release of four decades of Steelers futility and frustration. The Steelers won, 13-7, and after assembling what is considered the greatest draft class in NFL history two years later, they began their Super Bowl run
If Tatum wasn't such a head hunter and just broke up the pass, the game is over and the Raiders win. Too bad though. He, and the 'Criminal Element' Raiders, got exactly what they deserved.

Prix Pictet Announces 12 Photographers Shortlisted for $104K Prize
The shortlist of photographers for this year's Prix Pictet, which carries a prize of 100,000 Swiss francs ($104,496 US) and recognizes photography on social and environmental challenges, was announced at the Rencontres d'Arles photo festival yesterday. All 12 photographers on the short list will be exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery in London in October. In addition to the cash prize, the winner will receive an assignment from Pictet & Cie, the Geneva-based bank that founded the prize in 2008, to visit a region where the bank supports an environmental sustainability project.
The theme of this year's prize is power. The 12 photo projects have been exhibited or published over the past 12 years. As the haunting slide show on the homepage of the Prix Pictet Web site shows, the projects cover the uses and abuses of power—both political power and energy—and span from Guantanamo Bay to Chernobyl to Fukushima to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The finalists are:
Robert Adams, for Turning Back, 1999
Daniel Beltrá, for his series "Spill," 2010
Mohamed Bourouissa, for "Périphérique," 2006
Philippe Chancel, for "Fukushima: The Irresistible Power of Nature," 2011
Edmund Clark, for Guantanamo: If the Light Goes Out, 2009
Carl de Keyzer, for Moments Before the Flood, 2009-2011
Luc Delahaye, for various works made between 2008-2011, including work shot in Haiti after the earthquake
Rena Effendi, for "Still Life in the Zone," 2010
Jacqueline Hassink, for "Arab Domains," 2005-2006
An-My Lê, for "29 Palms," 2003-2004
Joel Sternfeld, for When it Changed, 2007
Guy Tillim, for the series "Congo Democratic," 1997-2006
The finalists were selected from over 600 international nominees by an eight-person jury that includes photographer Mitch Epstein (last year's Prix Pictet winner), Martin Roth, director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, and Fumio Nanjo, director Tokyo's Mori Art Museum.

"Bandolero (1968)
La-La Land Records
28 Tracks/Disc Time: 78:21
Grade: B-
During the 1960's, Westerns were still en vogue after the great success of the classic "The Magnificent Seven" which lead two two more sequels and inspired more entertaining western films of all types that include "Rio Conchos", "100 Rifles", "How The West Was Won", "Hang Em' High", "Once Upon A Time In The West" and the legendary Spaghetti western Dollars trilogy (including "Fistful Of Dollars", "For A Few Dollars More" and "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly") directed by the late Sergio Leone and starring Oscar winner Clint Eastwood. Posing as a hangman, Mace Bishop (James Stewart, "Vertigo") arrives to the town of Valverde, Texas with the intention of freeing a gang of outlaws, including his brother Dee (Dean Martin, "Ocean's 11" and Rat Pack member) from the gallows and take a hostage in the wife named Maria Stoner (the lovely Raquel Welch) of the banker killed during the robbery in which Mace's brother got caught in. As Mace urges his younger brother to give up crime, a relentless Sheriff July Johnson (George Kennedy, "Airport", "Thunderbolt And Lightfoot") and his deputy Bookbinder (Andrew Prine) chase the brothers across the boarder to Mexico. The Bishop brothers soon join forces with Johnson, against a group of Mexican bandits who have no intention of letting any American cowboys live especially where there's money at stake.
During this period, Oscar winning composer Jerry Goldsmith was really becoming the composer in Hollywood thanks to his creative output in both film and television that really made him one of the more sought after composers for every project out there. Thanks to the strong Oscar nominated work in films such as "Freud", "A Patch Of Blue", "The Sand Pebbles", and "Planet Of The Apes" strong work on television with "The Twilight Zone", "Dr.Killdare", and "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.", Goldsmith could really do no wrong and really didn't for more than four decades. "Bandolero" was the fourth Western that Goldsmith had scored (which included "Rio Conchos", "Hour Of The Gun", and "Lonely Are The Brave" during the decade with "100 Rifles" being the fifth in 1969. Goldsmith found originality (as usual with this film) as usually did with almost every project he would take on during his musical life.
This score starts off with a rather non-traditional Western theme but one with a more contemporary feel in the "Main Title" with a funk, styled guitar and a hip whistling motif that is very 60's while Goldsmith compliments that with a full powerhouse orchestra as featured on rousing tracks such as "Bad News/He'll Cross It/The Bait", a lengthy and exciting eight minute suite featuring some of Goldsmith's unique instrumentation, "Procession To The Gallows", "The Trap", "Ambushed", "Dee's Proposal" and "A Better Way", that feature Goldsmith at his very best utilizing his solid melodic theme while mixing his trademark Western flavored music giving the tracks a more colorful shading that does make the score a step above the traditional Western score and in particular this one which is somewhat brief, but engaging and very entertaining.
La-La Land's reissue of this fine Western score is long in coming after being out of print for a little more than a decade which had the notoriety of being released soon after Goldsmith's passing. It's not a perfect score, but an entertaining and engaging one that made Goldsmith's music much more than musical wallpaper and totally original. "Bandolero!" is a great example of Goldsmith's commitment and dedication to all of the films and television scores that had graced his music for more than five decades. Very strong thumbs up!

Toulouse Killer's Brother Suspected as Accomplice
French police are increasingly inclined to believe that the terrorist who murdered a rabbi and three children at a Toulouse school was assisted by his brother. On Saturday, police spokesman Christophe Crepin told reporters that Abdelkader is believed to have "furnished [means] and acted as an accomplice" in Mohammed Merah's attacks.
The brother, 29-year-old Abdelkader Merah, has told police that he is "very proud" of his brother for murdering his victims. "I regret nothing for him and approve of what he did," Abdelkader told investigators.
Abdelkader has denied involvement in the attacks. However, it was revealed Saturday that his laptop was near the Jewish school Mohammed Merah attacked at the time of the shooting.
In addition, media reported Saturday that Abdelkader had been arrested several years ago in France on suspicion of sending young Muslims from Toulouse to Iraq, where they joined terrorist training camps and then fought western troops in the country.
Mohammed Merah confessed to the shooting at the Otzar Hatorah school and to the murders of three French soldiers before his death Thursday in a shootout with police. He had also filmed some of his attacks.
However, his clear guilt in the killings did not answer many questions, such as how he was able to purchase weapons and rent a car to use in the murders. Merah had no clear source of income.
French intelligence chief Ange Mancini told media that forensic teams are likely to find new leads when they look at Merah's many guns. "The weapons, too, will talk," he said.

Durham police officers used fake 911 calls as a reason to search homes of those who had outstanding warrants. The local police chief learned of the deception, and has barred the department from 911 calls, according to News Max on July 15.
Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez wrote this in a memo seen on IndyWeek:
"It has recently been brought to my attention that some officers have informed citizens that there has been a 911 hang-up call from their residence in order to obtain consent to enter for the actual purpose of looking for wanted persons on outstanding warrants.
"Effective immediately no officer will inform a citizen that there has been any call to the emergency communications center, including a hang-up call, when there in fact has been no such call."
In February Officer A.B. Beck knocked on the door of someone who was charged for possessing marijuana. He told the woman who answered the door that a 911 call was made from the home, but they hung up. Beck wanted to go inside the house to make sure everything was okay. Once inside, he noticed two marijuana blunts and a marijuana grinder.
In a May 27 hearing, the Durham officer admitted to the fake 911 call and intended to serve a warrant, but never produced onein court. Beck says the calls were also a ruse in domestic violence situations.
The unidentified individual charged with marijuana possession had charges dropped because no sufficient evidence was provided in court. The department is "looking into" why some of the police in Durham used fake 911 calls as a good excuse to enter homes based on a lie.

Kansas City's annual all-night community Shavuot program will take place on Tuesday, May 18 at Kehilath Israel Synagogue, 10501 Conser.
The evening begins at 8:20 p.m. with a traditional and contemporary service and will be followed by a catered dairy buffet dinner.
At 10:30, noted scholar, author and internationally acclaimed speaker, Rabbi Lawrence A. Hoffman, Professor of Liturgy, Worship and Ritual at Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion, New York will deliver the keynote, "The Many Paths to Jewish Spirituality."
A panel discussion featuring local rabbis will follow the keynote. Informal study sessions with Rabbi Hoffman and the KC Kollel will be offered throughout the night.
A sunrise service and breakfast will conclude this holiday celebration.
Shavuot comes fifty days after the first day of Passover and celebrates God's giving of the Torah to the Jewish people at Mt. Sinai. Learning is an integral part of Judaism and therefore, it is befitting for the community to come together at this time to study. Shavuot also celebrates the harvest season. It is a custom to read the Book of Ruth as well as to stay up all night on the first night of Shavuot to study Torah and say the morning prayers at sunrise. Kansas City congregations have celebrated this Shavuot tradition as a community for over 30 years.
Advance reservations are required for dinner by May 14 and should be sent (make checks payable to Rabbinical Association) to Rabbinical Association, 5801 W. 115, Suite 113, Overland Park, KS 66211. The cost for dinner is $14.00 per adult and $10 per student (age 21 and under). Reservations received after May 14 are $18.00 per adult.
This program is-sponsored by The Rabbinical Association of Greater Kansas City and area congregations.
For additional information or if planning to attend the study program only, contact Administrator/Program Director for the Rabbinical Association at email@example.com..

Spoilers for episode 5 of "Resurrection" reveal that Agent Bellamy will be getting an important warning from Caleb. The Salt Lake Tribune reports on April 4 that Bellamy will also struggle with keeping Jacob safe during the next episode titled "Insomnia."
The mystery of the returned continues to haunt the town of Arcadia, and "Insomnia" will slowly start to deliver some answers. Caleb seems to have a unique understanding of the situation, but he is hiding many factors from Bellamy and his own family. However, he is willing to warn the agent that more people will be returning from the dead.
Bellamy has his own secrets he does not want to share with Arcadia, but his past will come back to haunt him and threaten the returned. As he struggles to keep Jacob safe, he will be questioning the present and the past in the town.
The return of Caleb has created several difficulties for Elaine, and she faces a new issue by having to find the money he hid from robbing a bank. The FBI may be close to coming to Arcadia, so this could create multiple problems for the families dealing with the dead who have come back to life.
The connection between Caleb and Jacob continues to be explored on "Resurrection," and viewers previously learned they have similar sleeping and eating habits now. After Jacob's family discovers wrappers under his bed, there are questions about why he is always hungry and what it means for the rest of the returned.

Astronomy Vacations – the Sky is not the Limit
Posted by: Travel Hippy
Monday, July 18, 2011
"Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun"
- Carly Simon "You're So Vain"
Carly Simon sang about it, but you can really do it, and you don't need your own jet. Astronomical tours focus on the observations of the heavens from terrestrial destinations possessing permanent or temporary geographic advantages for watching particular celestial events or phenomenon.
Most of the civilized world suffers from "light pollution", whereby man-made light dilutes and washes out the much more distant lights of planets and stars. Thus, the best possible sky gazing is done far from the pernicious effects of artificial light in more remote locations. Likewise, the higher the altitude, the better the viewing as there is less of earth's atmosphere between the traveler and the heavens. Thus, the ultimate destination is one where the sought after phenomenon is viewable, far from artificial light, at as high an altitude as possible.… Read more

Travis Ryan, worship pastor at Saddleback Church in California, is a new artist for Integrity Music but you'll never know it listening to his debut album Fearless released today.
Travis's new release will touch the hearts of many. Why? No one is a stranger to fear. Fearless is designed to take the listener through a journey, a journey surrounding fear. This fear is no different for Christian believers. However, we do have a hope and promise that the world does not enjoy.
This hope and promise is addressed in Fearless' title track. "The title track, and the whole album, is really a prayer that the church would live out 1 John 4:18—There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear," Travis says. "It's a prayer for me as well; the entire record is a collection of the 'songs of my life,' but it's also something for the church to sing."
Rooted in definitive rock influences and propelled by the love for beautiful worship melodies, Fearless inspires believers and seekers to press on past fear, becoming courageous and marked by God's boldness.
"Though we walk through darkness our God is our fortress", sings Travis in steady voice backed by his band's modern edge technique that goes from graceful to growling with ease.
The rest of the album follows suit as Travis sings a direct call to the sleeping church as well as encouraging the individual believer to remember that by grace the battle is won, even before the fight has begun. That's the believer's hope and promise.

LAS VEGAS - For Evan Stone, it barely matters whether he has a script or not in a XXX movie; he'll still be "in character."
"When I go to work, whether it's a character they've established or if I'm just like having sex with a girl, I always make a character up," Stone explained. "I try to make something develop with the clothes that I'm wearing, what she's got on and the set we're on, to make it like a story; that makes it more than just having sex, and that's what I really love about it."
Of course, he'd like to win an award for one of those sex scenes someday, but failing that, putting another Male Performer award on his shelf is fine with him.
"I was looking at the program book and saw how many things I've won, and I go, 'Yeah, you know what? I've won enough awards. I'm vindicated'," he stated, "but when they announced the award this year, I remember thinking, 'That's kind of interesting; I didn't get a watch when I won the award before.' I was totally tripped out. It's nice to win and it's nice that people recognize your work."

The world of dance seems to have become more a collaborative effort these days. Less divas and attitudes and more talent and support.
One shining example of this is Scott Marlowe, the associate director of LEVYdance.
LEVYdance which is presenting "Soar" June 26-28, 2014 at Z Space in San Francisco is definitely a collobrative effort. You can see everyone's reason behind their love to dance in the beautiful ad campaign promoting the show. Some do it to tell their story, others to become more comfortable in their own skin or as a way to express what they can't put into word.s.
No matter how you look at, artistic director Benjamin Levy allows his dancer to take off…or in the case this week, to soar.
In the world premiere of "Soar," LEVYdance conjures a world beyond reality…an immersive performance that places audiences and dancers together on stage in a dream-like environment. Individuals discover their own narratives, navigating a "choose your own adventure" performance experience as the space around them continues to transform, revealing a new landscapes and scenarios.
Marlowe is one of the dancers who will enjoy this journey and has continued to grow over this last year in which I met with him during last year's Frameline Film Festival as he was promoting the terrific must-see movie "Test," which is currently playing at theatres throughout the country in limited release as well as on demand.
Marlowe's dancing in "Test" also makes you want to see him and the LEVYdance troupe live. And while the movie takes place in 1985, at the beginning of AIDS testing, his dance today is more contemporary.
Levy himself seems to rely and depend on collobrations so he doesn't have to micro-manage his players and can likely invest additional time in developing an interactive exhibit at the Exploratorium.
And you can see him live starting Thursday. "Soar" will play at 7pm and 9pm on Thursday-Saturday (no 9pm on Saturday). Due to the nature of this production, late arrivals cannot be accommodated, so they advise arriving 15 minutes early.
To get tickets and more information go to www.levydance.org.

Gillette and Kate Upton manscaping campaign
Kate Upton has inadvertently started a war on pubic hair after BrandChannel.com announced Gillette's recent manscaping campaign on April 1, 2013, calling it an "intellectually insulting campaign" with "questionable execution and taste."
The preemptive leader in pubic hair grooming launched a new campaign featuring a group of models expressing their preferences for male grooming. The leader of the pack was swimsuit model Kate Upton whose video started making headlines since last week after her seductive response to the question of how important it was for men to groom down there. Her "very important" response was followed by a cheesy wink, giggle and a boob jiggle.
In another behind-the-scenes type of video, the group of models discuss body styling with each other. In the video, when asked how Gillette can get more men started on grooming down there, Kate says: "You can do a little grooming; we'll do a little grooming" before fellow model Genesis Rodriguez jumps in with agreement: "Yeah, tit for tat."
To shave or not to shave down there?
BrandChannel.com points out some of the recent backlash produced by the trend toward hairlessness ignited by fashion magazines and razor companies as far back as the 1900s. Apparently, some women are starting to embrace the bush after a group of activists instituted "Decembeaver" for women last year to complement "Movember" for men. If a woman has to kiss her man with his obnoxious little moustache, then it's only fair for her to grow a bush in protest...
Nevermind this supposed war on pubic hair. Let it serve as a reminder for singles and couples alike of just how important personal grooming can be when it comes to dating and relationships. Gillette and Kate Upton has given men and women alike more reasons to shave down there than we may want to give them credit for.
3 reasons to shave or trim your pubes
While there will always be risks associated with putting anything sharp near your genatalia, let's keep things here on a lighter note with a few of the benefits to shaving down there.
Improved hygiene. Pubic hairs can sometimes hold odor and sweat creating moisture in dark places where bacteria likes to grow. Shaving or trimming can help decrease odors for men and help prevent yeast infections for women.
Enhanced self-esteem. When we look and feel good about ourselves, we naturally start to feel more attractive. Women will feel sexy and youthful while men can score themselves an extra (optical) inch. This confidence tends to radiate.
Increased sexual pleasure. The absence or minimalism of hair down there (or anywhere, for that matter) can be visually erotic and sexually appealing for both men and women. It also enhances the sensations of oral sex which can maximize your pleasure.

...Even everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory, whom I have formed, whom I have made. (Isaiah 43:7 AMP)
Called by His Name is being made like His character. It's to be close to Him and to become more loving, more gracious, less like the evil one as he works through people in this world. Certain people, though they might not place their trust in His Name, are good and sweet and wise. But there are some who allow the evil one to use them. We need to love them too but take care to remember our calling, to be near His Name, not falling into the trap of a hollow, meaningless existence.
He has created us for His honor and His glory. The meaning of glory is not very clear but it is as if when we love, or forgive, or have pure joy in our hearts it's a way of honoring God that shows His glory, His brilliant light, to those that don't rely on Him.
He formed us before we were in our mother's womb in a secret, mysterious place. (Psalm 139 AMP) Everything about us was hand-crafted by Him including our body, heart and soul. We're such a beautiful masterpiece in His sight. He named us there and placed us in that safe, temporary home in our mom.
Then as we were born He began forming us through His word, circumstances, people, our environment to encourage us to love Him. He longs for our love and woos us but never takes the choice away from us.
Somewhere in the Universe we were hand-crafted. Maybe somewhere pictured in this video.
