"Santa Fe's objectives are distinctly American, and by making opera more compelling and more relevant, it has changed the map of musical America..."
Phillip Huscher The Santa Fe Opera
An American Pioneer
Out of more than 700 applicants, 74 young women and men were chosen to participate in The Santa Fe Opera's Technical Apprentice Program for the company's 2013 season. The apprentice technicians come to Santa Fe from across the country to be a part of this prestigious program.
Ever since The Santa Fe Opera was founded in 1957, it has been a goal of the Company to foster the development of young artists and technicians. Established in 1965, the Technical Apprentice Program plays an integral part in fulfilling the Opera's mission. Offering the chance to give aspiring technicians experience in nearly every aspect of stage production, the Technical Apprentice Program has since grown in reputation as one of the most rigorous and selective of its type.
Young technicians travel from every corner of the United States to the high-desert grounds of The Santa Fe Opera and its famous open-air theater to work and study with some of the most respected professionals in their fields. This season brought an array of new opportunities for technical apprentices, whether they were building a 20 foot- long vintage touring car for The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein or making the larger-than-life toys for the trial scene in Oscar, the apprentices received hands-on experience and instruction in everything from wig-making to electrics. Apprentice technicians had the chance to showcase their work on August 11 and 18 when they designed and created the costumes and sets for the Apprentice Scenes, two nights of fully-staged scenes from famous operas that feature apprentice singers in starring roles.
The Santa Fe Opera's 57th summer festival season featured 38 performances of 5 operas and ran from June 28 through August 24. The 2013 repertory consisted of The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein by Jacques Offenbach, The Marriage of Figaro by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, La Donna del Lago by Gioachino Rossini, La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi, and the world premiere of Oscar by Theodore Morrison.
The 2013 operating budget for the Technical Apprentice Program was $901,972. The program is funded in part by proceeds from the Gala and Opening Weekend Celebrations, income generated from endowment funds, and contributions to the annual operating fund.
The following young men and women were the recipients of this year's outstanding apprentice technician awards. Each received a cash award.

To give you an idea of the whole contest, well it looked like the intro of Baywatch, girls in red bathing suits, guys in bathing suits… Even the funky tunes in the background took me back into the 80's. I have to apologize for my typo in the beginning, it wasn't much of a contest, it was more like a family gathering. It was so cool, just a whole lot of friends hanging and fooling around in way to short shorts. But there were some contests though, like the Best 80's air, hot sand challenge or my personal favorite: ' THE BEST FLIP FLOP TRICK ', guys hitting the rails or throwing switch tre bombs of the stairs in flip flops. Some mojito's and some burgers in between, this was one hell of a contest. And to end the day, a crazy bowl contest. Everybody dropped in at the same time and the last man standing got a free deck, bet you can create an image of the mayhem. I have to say, it was a great day with great people. Big thanks to T(w)its, Willem and the whole Leuven family. Photo credit : Joselito Verschaeve

The ingredients to a successful Volcom x Anti-Hero Launch Party ? Some local beers, some good burgers and a "secret" D.I.Y spot. The guys from Volcom and Twits Skateshop had it all figured out. The location was not posted online, only a phone number. Everybody that wanted to get the address of the spot, had to text message us. The phone got spammed and shortly after the spot was crowded and ready for the party. This day was all about good times, having a good skate session and catching up with the locals. After filming some lines and some dirt bike stunts, a best trick contest got organized to celebrate the new clothing collection. Everybody was skating the new obstacle and crashing into each other to get some of fresh products from the collab.

The Kleveland show just came back from 5 weeks spent flipping and spinning all over Perisher, NZ and other Oz mountains.. Here a nice edit of what he's being doing. Marcus is always in full control of all things snowboarding. However, from the sounds of it, someone picked the soundtrack for him this time around. How else would you explain the absence of the usual "Justin Bieber on speed" sound? Go Marcus! Marcus is wearing the Kabigtime Fleece in WHT, the Stretch Gore pant in TEK and the Travelin' Hood Thingy in BLK

Italy, the European country home to the Vatican, ancient ruins, Renaissance masterpieces, fashion, food, among countless other noteworthy things, is not typically associated with world-class waves. But things DO change. When a significant swell started tracking in the Mediterranean, Volcom's Gony Zubizarreta and friend Marlon Lipke embarked on a plane to Sardinia, Italy, and joined Roberto D'Amico for an epic three-day surf mission that left them with a new perspective on Italy's surf breaks. The Four Moors is a short film documenting this adventure. Film / edit by Francesco Thilo Sili. "I was just arriving home after the WQS in Martinique and got a call from Marlon Lipke saying that Italy was going to be pumping the next day! Roby Damico was already planning everything from Rome. We jumped on a plane that next morning and got the Ferry to Sardina straight away, we had to get there in time. The Mediterranean can be very tricky, swells come and go very quickly!" -Gony "I was impressed by the quality and power of some point breaks we surfed. Super rippable waves with pretty cool locals or even empty line ups and little bays with beautiful backgrounds and nobody around. The Italians are so funny, very open and social, they are constantly joking and laughing which made our trip one for the books! We had an awesome time, surfing all day and eating pasta amatriciana cooked by the master Chef Roberto Damico aka DiMaggio. The pizza was the best I've ever tried for sure. Food is out of control there. I miss it already." -Gony "It was an amazing trip. I loved Italy and have to admit that I'm a fan of surfing in the Mediterranean Sea. Thank you, Roby and family for treating us like kings! Also, big thanks to Francesco Thilo for the filming and editing! Eugenio and all the friends that made this journey unforgettable for me! Big Hugs, Guillaume." -Gony It was an amazing trip, I loved Italy and have to admit that Im a fan of surfing in the Mediterranean Sea. Thank you Roby and family for treating us like kings!

Super good times with our friends from Welcome Skateboarding in Madrid last Friday. We celebrated the Volcom X AntiHero product collaboration at the Welcome Bowl the classic way, we used the good old triple B recipe for success: Beers, Bands and BBQ. We added some fresh Volcom X AntiHero gear, cash prizes and one jamón to fire up the skate sesh. Volcom and AntiHero team riders Daan van der Linden and Chris Pfanner joined the party and soon the bowl got mopped with some sweat from the body tossed and it earned some new holes in the corners thanks to the heavy shredding of everyone. Thanks to Borja, Pablo and everyone at Welcomesk8, Bruno chef, Alain Goikoetxea, David Sanchez, Skankie, Pfanner, P-Stone, Carranza, Danny León, King Cayman, Zero 5 and everyone who showed up!

We had a fabulous experience with Hornblower! We had our wedding on the Mojo & from day one it was a breeze. Their staff was helpful, friendly & fun. Our wedding was amazing & we have been told by many of our guests that it was one of the most fun weddings they have attended. Hornblower Staff & Vendors made my wedding day perfect. I would recommend Hornblower to anyone! The food was delicious as well. (If you have a wedding or an event I recommend taste testing. We did & there were a ton of delicious choices!) We are planning on cruising with Hornblower for a dinner cruise sometime in the future! Thank you Hornblower for making my wedding perfect!
– Sarah R.
Me and my husband got married recently aboard the "Wild Goose." I'm not sure words can even describe what an amazing wedding we had! I had gone on a lunch cruise with Hornblower in San Francisco and really enjoyed it. When it came time to decide on a venue for the wedding, Hornblower came to mind right away! Sarah and Karen took care of all the pre-wedding details. Even when I changed my mind on a few things, a few times, they were so friendly and understanding. They were really out to make it our special day (as cheesy as that sounds). The day of the wedding was great! We had a coordinator named Allison who saved my life! Everything ran smoothly , I have to thank her for! Right before our wedding, my husband's grandpa felt ill and was put into a wheelchair. We were really afraid he would not make it to the top deck for the ceremony. As we were getting ready, I heard someone say that they were carrying Grandpa up. Sure enough, the crew got him up to the ceremony! We were so thankful for their effort! The day was amazing, all the guests were so impressed with the boat! Hornblower does everything they can to help your day go smoothly! So thankful for all of the crew and staff!

Skip to comments.McChrystal: Time to think about bringing back the draft?
Posted on 01/15/2013 12:24:20 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
General Stanley McChrystal is still making the rounds plugging his new book, as well as talking about any old issue of the day the media cares to toss his way. He sat down on Face the Nation this morning and hit a few of the standard questions on Afghanistan, gun control and Chuck Hagel, before Bob Schieffer decided to ask him whether or not it was time to bring back the draft. (H/T NRO)
When asked about his thoughts on implementing a draft on CBSs Face the Nation, General Stanley A. McChrystal said national service would have a positive impact because it would bind people to their nation and pull people together in shared experiences.
Just to get it in context, heres the video and a transcript of a few of the applicable comments for you.
Schieffer: Would you favor a draft?
McChrystal: I personally believe that national service is important for the nation, and thats having all young people serve a term of national service. Certainly not all military. But I believe those things do have two effects. One, those things that bind people to their nation are important, and another thing is that were also a nation that doesnt get to know each other too well. Someone from one part of an inner city never meets another person from an upper class neighborhood. We need some things that pull people together in shared experience. We need to be ten years after the fact when they are meeting somewhere, Where did you serve? begins a connection that allows them to move on because we are getting too fragmented in my view...
(Excerpt) Read more at hotair.com ...
The Hippies come full circle.
High on the Leftist wish list.
They figure if they bring back the draft nobody will ever support actually going to war ever again, and every day will be 1968 all over again.
Bad idea. One volunteer is preferred to three 'pressed men.
Better yet, they will have hundreds of thousands of soulless liberal soldiers who will have no problem using tanks and bombers to crush the life out of citizens just wishing to be left alone.
The Draft will never be used again. Couldn't work.
If they dared call my 20 year old daughter, they would catch all sorts of fresh hell from me. And millions of other normal dads like me.
And you KNOW they would have to draft women, if they drafted anyone at all.
He used a faulty syllogism. There is a limit on duck kills for breed preservation purposes. There is no limit on murderous drug infused criminals who wish to do harm to me and my family.
Time for McCrystal to write a biography of Pat Tillman with special emphasis on the facts surrounding his death and the coverup of those facts.
Charlie Rangel, Pete Stark, and John Murtha all wanted to bring back the draft.
McChrystal is a putz.
I posted on the wrong thread. How did that happen? Am I logged in?
Wait, wait, wait...
First, they want to disarm Americans.
Then, they want to force "health care" upon us by a tax mandate.
Then, they want to arm Federal executive agencies with billions of rounds of hollowpoint ammunition.
Now, they want to bring back conscription...
Umm, folks... if there's any doubt in your mind that Barack Hussein Obama wants to take over this nation by force of arms and create some sick socialist utopia, you need to have your head examined.
We are neck deep in shit at this point.
1) Bring down the quality of the military, because -- as you say -- volunteers tend to be better quality than people who'd rather not be there.
2) Bring down the political acceptability of war. If the soldiers are not there by choice than neither the voters nor the politicians will be eager to put them in harm's way.
If you want the country weak, bring back the draft. That's what this is about.
With the current scenario of a faggotized military and a vile communist tyrant as commander-in-chief, there's no way in hell I'd ever enlist. Would I dodge a draft? My entire life I regarded draft-dodgers as the lowest of the low. So it's not without a deeply jarring visceral reaction that I say I might very well indeed.
Ugh! No wonder the military is in the state it is in with such men leading it today.
Of course he's pushing a draft. Obango's gonna need his own army to quell those bitter clingers and McChrystal's ready and willing to be his generalissimo.
Illegal aliens will be brought into the military via the DREAM Act or something like it to do just that. Illegals doing the gun confiscation that Americans won't do.
I would only begin to approve of reinstatement of the draft if two conditions are met
1 No student deferments- you can go back to school when your service is done.
2. Sons and grandsons of Representatives, Senators, and Cabinet members above a certain level are first to be called
"Liberalism is just Communism sold by the drink" - P.J. O'Rourke
Read the directives of Executive Order 13603. Odinga created his private army, using conscription under that EO.
The draft is already in place. It only needs the go-code from the White Hut.
And just how the hell can we afford to pay for the millions who would need to be fed, housed, clothed, and cared for instead of finding a job and contributing to our already massive spending burden??
Idiots like this think the money to do this crap grows on trees...
Micky is going to piss off so many Americans with his liberal crap speak that his book sales are going to be a bust
And just how the hell can we afford to pay for the millions who would need to be fed, housed, clothed, and cared for instead of finding a job and contributing to our already massive spending burden??
Are you talking about draftees? Or welfare bums?
I'm confused here.
Read this: http://hugohousepublishers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/LFFCintro4website.pdf
The 10 immutable laws that govern civilization
Law #2: In Battle freemen almost always defeat slaves
I served two tours in Korea. Many of the ROK (aka South Korea) army personnel I served with (they've had a draft since forever) were the sons of big industrial tycoons, generals, admirals and politicians. Nobody gets out of the draft there except for physical disability.
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
Doesn't say "except when we want to use you to fight and die". If you can't attract soldiers, you are either not paying enough, or nobody feels your cause makes sense.
Increase the pay for a grunt to 100k a year and you'll have all you want. Not patriotic? I dont see congressfools taking the pay of a private during wartime. I don't see Lockheed execs willing to take a generals pay to be careful they don't profit from the war.
No,,only the grunt is expected to give his services and life away for a pittance of pay to demonstrate his patriotism.
Modern Generals are nightmarish and have no respect for freedom.
And i'll say it, it comes from life spent in the childlike world of the military. After all the holy talk is stripped away, they live in little centrally planned utopias. How many beers may you drink,, may i own a gun., lock up your gun at the armory, follow the rules very carefully,, you need a haircut, etc etc. Even the clerks at the PX can act like little martinets.
While that is necessary to create a disciplined fighting force, a lifetime there fills them with dread of the chaos of civilian life. Occasionally you see some retirees that dont make the adjustment well. They become royal pains in the ass in HOAs, complaining about a neighbors grass that is 2.5 inches tall when the rule reads 2 inches,,,etc etc.
And last of all, if you pack the military with homos, put the homos in charge, strictly muzzle the chaplains, let major Hassan evaluate them after deployment, and decide America needs to fight in Central Africa etc etc..
No,,,you certainly won't get my kids to play with.
Wouldn't a mandatory national service youth be the same as a welfare bum when you look at the bottom line?
Libtards never can get enough of force and slavery.
That's what the NFL is for. :)
Draftees fought WWII, Vietnam was mostly volunteers, and draftees make fine soldiers, superior to females.
It is easier for drill sergeants to turn 18 year old draftees into warriors and change their minds about the challenges and fun of soldiering, than to change the realities of the limitations of the female sex.
This isn't about a draft anyway, it is about national service.
Will the pot smokers and other dopers get a special exemption?
The Supreme Court has ruled against you innumerous cases. It is the exception they get away with.
"One volunteer is preferred to three pressed men."
Considering the complexity of modern war machines, the ratio is likely even higher in many military specialties.
Probably. But at least a draftee would add value. They would actually segue into makers rather than takers.
I guess the real problem is just how do you indoctrinate a welfare queen into a real solder?
And WHAT do you do with its spawn? (Laqishiada, Purelle, La-a, Quonsetta and so on?)
The supreme court rubber stamped it. But no matter what the black robed mystics and mandarins SAY it actually means. It was written in plain english, and was short and precise
It's slavery.
McChrystal already has a draft. It whistles in one ear and out the other.
2. No reason to run to Canada if there is no draft.
3. No reason to protest on college campuses if there is no draft.
Three reasons why the left wants the draft back.
Murtha is dead so his views are irrelevant
Considering there are plenty of Vietnam era vets and retired flag officers around, McChrystal's comments are even more disturbing.
They also ruled Dredd Scott was basically a stolen car, that separate but equal was legal, that forced busing was hunky dory, that abortion is cool, that forcing Americans of japanese ancestry into cencentration camps was legal, that Obama care can force us to buy a product, that growing grain to feed your own animals on the same farm is "interstate commerce". And they are about to tell us that homo marriage is a right.
And they have shredded the 4th amendment for the war on drugs, and are fine with the government intercepting every email and text we send.
The supreme court has always been a joke, following the trend of the moment. During wartime, they decide anything the government does is fine. The famous "fire in a crowded theater" analogy was confirming that it wa fine to arrest a man who was passing out handbills opposing the draft.
The supremes have probably approved the draft, but they were lawless to do so.
I OK the draft under the following conditions:
1. No deferments at all! 2. All 18 year olds must go and do National service. 3. No Draftees (save for those who volunteer) would be sent overseas to fight unless we have a declared war. 4. Young people could serve in National parks, as CCC firefighters, Americore Red Cross workers, Teachers in inner schools, Build dykes and levees, restore historic sites and build monuments for the nation (Like the sitting bull statue)—All should serve in some way—the mentally retarded (they can pick up paper) The mentally ill (could sew socks and knit) every American—even prisoners could serve in strict labor battalions—stationed in Alaska. All serve for 2 years. let the volunteers do the hard stuff —draftees fill in and learn what they need to be citizens.
Vietnam was overwhelmingly a volunteers war while WWII was overwhelmingly fought by draftees.
When the US Army has to enlist 42 year old grandmothers and single moms to fight it's wars after 9/11, then something is wrong.
I want to see a McChrystol book where he prints up the emails between him and the Tampa housewife socialite, part-time honorary korean ambassador.
Petraeus and Allen who followed him had thousands. Are we to believe McChystol who held the same post, and lived the high life with Rolling stone reporters, and dinner trips to Paris, while he deprived his troops had no email relationship (or more) with her?
Yes, bring it back, but like this...
Draft for National Service, military typing pool, hairdresser, band, etc.
Volunteer for combat.
Besides, I'm about to turn 64, you young whippersnappers need to get to work so you'll stay off my lawn!
"Bring back the draft?" For what, forcible sodomy and lifetimes of unemployment lines after enlistments end?
National service for everyone is the left's plan and their goal, their long time dream.
The draft should only be used to provide warriors for warfare, male warriors.
This is for the future.
Once we end up with an entire FEMALE JCS, women in submarines, the homos overrun the military, etc
VIRILE young lads will NOT be going in, so there will be no one to fight because the shes and he/shes will be afraid to break a nail or something.
Like one poster said, this is the 60 Hippys come full cycle.
Amazing, 'we' went and fought to allow them to ruin 'us' in the long run....
Probably should have taken them out way back when....

At the opening night party of "Love, Sex and the I.R.S.", director Lee Garrow said he was worried that he wouldn't be able to cast this show. Farcical comedy requires impeccable timing, as well as a knack for physical comedy and extreme characterization. Garrow found the cast, and "Love, Sex, and the I.R.S." is very funny.
Like "The Odd Couple," roommates Jon (Jim Oxborrow) and Leslie (Tom Althouse) compliment each other perfectly as the suave guy and nerdish sidekick, respectively. Patty Silva as Jon's fiance, Kate, is one of the highlights of the show, superbly portraying the all-important third banana, reminiscent of classic sitcom characters like Ethel Mertz, Rhoda Morgenstern and Janet Wood. Every farce requires a solid setup, and the trio does a first-rate job at allowing the audience to empathize with them before all hell breaks loose.
Leslie and Kate are having an affair, complicating Kate's upcoming marriage to Jon. As Leslie panics, which brings on an annoying, honking "sinus problem," Jon arrives home, almost catching the two in the act. Perry Kunin, as Jansen the landlord, gives an inspired performance as a Schneider/Mr. Roper character who is adamant that unmarried couples cannot live in the building. Convinced something is going on, Kunin heightens the humor with every brewsky-in-hand, ill-timed, surprise visit.

Before Leslie and Kate can confess their secret, Jon receives a phone call that he and his wife are being audited by the I.R.S. The problem is that he's not married and his spouse, Leslie, is a man. After agreeing to dress in drag in order to dupe the unsuspecting Mr. Spinner (David Negaard), Althouse brings down the house with his trashy appearance as a 6-foot-plus woman in a tight leopard print mini and three-inch heels.
After the paperwork issues are rectified, Jon foolishly suggests "it's too bad," Mr. Spinner can't stay for dinner. Spinner accepts the invitation, bringing on an entire evening of deception. Negaard's out-of-type performance as the uptight conservative pencil pusher is fantastic. When combined with eventually playing drunk, he takes a character that could be overlooked, and adds an extra layer of laugh-out-loud moments to the already funny production. The key to a great farce is just when you think nothing more could go wrong, something new does. Beth Garrow's surprise visit as Mrs. Trachtman, Jon's mother, is a slam-dunk comedy masterpiece. Upon meeting Leslie, in all his glory, mom passes out from the shock and proceeds to start drinking after being revived with the aid of Limburger cheese.
In the second act, based upon which lie was told to whom, the players are ushered in and out of rooms like a Chinese fire drill in order to maintain the reuse. A recurring gag in the farce is Leslie's choice to make mung chowder gumbo for dinner, which apparently involves tuna, molasses, cream and vinegar. Like a bubbling pot, Althouse wisely tempers his exasperation, saving an inevitable blow up for late in the show. The final straw is when Leslie's girlfriend, Connie (Julianna Scharnhorst), shows up to find out why he has been avoiding her. Oxborrow ably plays the straight man amidst all this chaos, maintaining his cool, always armed with a new lie. After Scharnhorst is shocked by Leslie's appearance, Jon explains that he just came out of the closet, which is Connie's fault, and all the drunken strangers are "from the home." Scharnhorst has been making me laugh since her Baldwin High School years. She has a natural gift for comedy, and with a few breaks and a little more training, don't be surprised if she pops up in a sitcom or film someday.
Mrs. Trachtman, convinced that they're all going to burn in hell, storms out, only to return with a homeless Justice of the Peace (Russ Taft), hell-bent on making Leslie an honest woman. Taft's Foster Brooks-like portrayal as the shady Mr. Grunion adds final punctuation to the non-stop laughs. No one wants to hear how "The Hangover," or other absurd comedies are resolved, so I'll leave the rest - as well as many additional plot twists - a secret. If shows like "Seinfeld" make you unnerved, "Love, Sex, and the I.R.S." may not be a good fit, but on the other hand, if the spastic guy behaved like a normal person, it wouldn't be a farce.
* "Love, Sex, and the I.R.S." by William Van Zandt and Jane Milmore, directed by Lee Garrow, continues through this weekend. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; and 3 p.m. Sundays at the Historic Iao Theater. Reserved seating tickets range from $17 to $28 (plus applicable fees). For tickets or more information call 242-6969 or purchase reserved seats online at mauionstage.com.
The difference between Maui and big city comedy is that, in the latter, the actors are paid and they have the luxury to perform opposite each other for years, if not a decade. The rhythm between those longtime castmates makes all the difference. Saturday's performance of "Broadway's Next H!t Musical" was comedy perfection. I have seen many funny shows at the MACC over the past year, but aside from Bill Cosby, "BNHM" was the tightest and most polished comedy I have seen in a very long time. The "Phony" award wining musical, "If Can Can, If No Can No Can," was the suggestion of local stand-up comedian and actor, Jason Strahn of Power Up Comedy. The "BNHM" tour may not return to Maui, but the belly laughs will remain. Mahalo to whoever decided to invite the flawlessly funny troupe of Robert Z. Grant, Deborah Rabbai, Rob Schiffman, Gregg Triggs, and Rebecca Virgil to the Castle Theater.
ProArts returns in October with the comedy, "Bermuda Avenue Triangle" by Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna, directed by Kristi Scott. Two widows are set up in an upscale Las Vegas retirement condo by their career-oriented daughters. Trapped by years of unhappiness, Fannie (Barbara Sedano) weeps and Tess (Sharyn Stone) does nothing but complain. All that changes when the two ladies cross paths with the charming scoundrel, Johnny Paolucci (Scott Newman), who rocks both their worlds. Fannie and Tess undergo a grand metamorphosis from being two, unhappy, complaining biddies into a pair of glamorous golden girls. The moral of the story: "There may be snow on the roof, but there's still fire in the furnace."
* Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; and 3 p.m. Sundays, Oct. 11 through 27 at the ProArts Playhouse in Kihei. Tickets are $22, with kama'aina discounts for Hawaii residents scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 12; and Thursdays, Oct. 17 and 24. For tickets or more information, call 463-6550.
Just in time for Halloween, King Kekaulike High School will present "Lady Dracula" by Tim Kelly, and based on the writings of Bram Stoker. Mina, a victim of Count Dracula, has searched for a young man who would resemble her first love, Jonathan Harker. She finds him in a teacher who opens a school for brilliant students. Lady Dracula keeps to the shadows except when thirst arouses her to prey upon victims. The school is then invaded by the police and a vampire-hunting Van Helsing descendant.
* Performances are at 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; and at 3 p.m. Sundays at the King Kekaulike High School cafetorium. Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 students and available at the door only one half-hour before the show.
Maui OnStage will present "I Know What You Did Last Rocktober." This series of horror-themed nights will include Halloween burlesque by Kit Kat Club Cabaret, Maui's "Thriller Dancers," the Kihei Charter School dancers, free horror film nights, and the annual "Rocky Horror Picture Show" party.
* Kit Kat Club's "Phantome," a multimedia gothic fantasy show, will be in performance at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 25 and 26, and general admission tickets are $25 (plus applicable fees). Admission is free for the movie nights, 7 p.m. Oct. 30 through Nov. 1 at the Historic Iao Theater. For more information about "Rocktober," visit www.mauionstage.com.

Aerosols and Climate: It's Not Just Hairspray Anymore
March 5, 2011
Every time we take a breath, we inhale gazillions of tiny solid and liquid particles in the air. These particles are called aerosols. It's incredible that something ranging from the size of a virus to the width of a human hair can have major effects on our health, and on the Earth's climate. Aerosols are not completely understood – but what scientists do know is that there are many kinds, both human-caused and natural, and that they definitely can affect the climate.
A lot of aerosols are natural – like sea salt, dust, or the kind ejected up from volcanic eruptions. But then there are the kinds that we humans spew into the atmosphere – like from fossil fuel combustion, cars, and power plants. We learned that these aerosols affect the atmosphere and climate because depending on the type, they can reflect or absorb the sun's radiation.
There seem to be lots of kinds of aerosols, and lots of ways they affect the climate. So we split into groups and each took one kind to research. At the end of the day, we all got to teach each other what we learned about aerosols. Check out the pollution above Beijing, China in 2009 – that's not clouds!
Through Second Life, we also got to talk to Dr. Compton Tucker, a scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. He talked about his work in studying an 200m diameter impact crater in the Amazon. The impact released 500 to 1000 megatons of TNT. Imagine the aerosols thrown into the atmosphere by that event!

Quantity: An average of 17½ pounds is needed
per canner load of 7 quarts; an average of 11 pounds
is needed per canner load of 9 pints. A bushel weighs
50 pounds and yields 16 to 25 quarts an average of
2½ pounds per quart.
Quality: Choose ripe, mature fruit of ideal quality
for eating fresh or cooking.
Please read Using Pressure Canners and Using Boiling Water Canners before beginning. If this is your first time canning, it is recommended that you read Principles of Home Canning.
Procedure: Wash and peel pears. Cut lengthwise
in halves and remove core. A melon baller or metal measuring spoon is suitable for coring pears. To prevent discoloration, keep pears in an ascorbic acid
solution. Prepare a very light, light, or medium syrup
or pack pears in apple juice, white grape juice, or
water. Raw packs make poor quality pears. Boil
drained pears 5 minutes in syrup, juice, or water. Fill
jars with hot fruit and cooking liquid, leaving 1/2-inch
headspace. Adjust lids and process.
Processing directions for canning pears in a
boiling-water, a dial, or a weighted-gauge canner are
given in Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3.

GMC Bike, High Quality Road Bike and Mountain Bike
Clothes and Accessories

of money you pay. Starter and moderate cyclists are all satisfied with its performance and good reviews keep on
coming. You are maybe one of those happy customers. After having such a great bike to ride, now it is the time to
complete it with cool road bike accessories to make your cycling experience even more fun.
Common people ride their bikes for
fun and health purposes. They just find the right comfortable clothes and shoes and start cycle around the town.
But if you want to look more professional and devoted to your cycling hobby, you can start to search for cycling
clothes, footwear, and accessories.
Generally, cycling clothes are made
to be windproof/waterproof but do not sacrifice its breathing ability. Jackets, jerseys, and shorts are the most
common cycling clothes. For a mountain biker who ride GMC Yukon bike, the clothes may be
a little different. He may have a customized dress with padded shorts to keep him warm in a longer
A mountain biker use layers of top
clothing in order to adjust to the temperature. Usually, the top clothes are including T-shirts, thermal vest,
jackets, and fleece. T-shirts, thermal vest, and jackets are great and effective enough to cover your back and
protect your top body. Fleece is effective enough to add the warmth when the temperature goes down
Shoes play a very important role in
cycling. Therefore, a cyclist must find a perfect fit pair of shoes to optimize his or her cycling. Comfort is also
the one needs to be considered highly when choosing cycling shoes.
Cycling accessories include helmet,
bottle cage, elbow and knee pads, and backpack. The most common accessory is of course helmet. Helmet is the most
vital protection for bikers. If your head bumps because you fall of your bike or there are tree branches on your
way. Do not just buy any helmet. Buy the one which has CE mark which indicates that the helmet has passed safety
quality standards. Replace your helmet once it has been damaged due to a serious accident.
These accessories are made for the
rider's safety. With these accessories, you do not only ride your GMC Denali
Pro bike in style, but also with more safety. Do not forget to
bring portable pump too. Flat tires are one of the main causes of accidents.

Whether it's for good remains to be seen.
The Yankees announced Wednesday that Pettitte, whose left shoulder has been bothering him for at least a month, will not pitch again this season.
"I've thrown enough innings," Pettitte said before Wednesday night's 6-2, 10-inning victory over the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, a game won on a Bobby Abreu grand slam. "There's not any sense in going out and continue to kill myself now or push myself through anything."
Sidney Ponson will start Saturday at Boston in Pettitte's place.
Pettitte, 36, revealed that he underwent an MRI during the final homestand and that it showed tendinitis in his shoulder, which needs rest.
The next step for him will be deciding his future.
Pettitte doesn't want to play anywhere else but said he needs time to make a decision whether to return or retire, although he plans to come to a conclusion sooner than he did the past two winters.
"I just need to get away for a little while," he said. "I don't want to drag it out. ... They've pretty much let it be known to me they'd like to have me back and it's up to me."
The Yankees are expected to revamp their rotation over the winter, and A.J. Burnett could be a target. Wednesday night Burnett struck out 11 in eight innings for Toronto and earned a curtain call from the fans who knew it might be his last Blue Jays start, since he can opt out of his contract.
Phil Hughes was also good, allowing two runs on five hits in a career-high eight innings (100 pitches) for the Yankees. But he got a no-decision, leaving him winless (0-4) for the year despite opening the season in the rotation.
The Yankees are the third team -- the first with a winning record -- to have two pitchers go winless while making eight or more starts: Hughes, whose season was derailed by a fractured rib, and Ian Kennedy.
Pettitte, who finishes 14-14, is one of seven pitchers to throw 200 innings every season over the past four years, and the only one older than 32. He had 204 this year.
In his past 11 starts, as his velocity decreased and his cut fastball suffered, Pettitte went 2-7 with a 6.23 ERA and .323 batting average allowed.
"It's given me a little bit of trouble" was all he would say about his shoulder.
"I just think I pitched terrible," he said. "I feel like everybody pitched really well, other than me, down the stretch."
Only three pitchers have had a .500 or better record (15 or more starts) in each of their first 14 seasons: Pettitte, Cy Young (1890-1903) and Tom Seaver (1967-80).
Before the Yankees decide what to do with Pettitte or anyone else this winter, they need to have a general manager in place.
Brian Cashman said Wednesday by phone that he had no plans to go to Tampa, Fla., to meet with ownership. But he sure talks like someone who wants to continue as GM.
"We're not there yet," said Cashman, reflecting on the transition he started three years ago, "but there's progress that has been made.
"There's still work to be done."
Will Cashman be doing it?
"Right now I can't really talk about it," Cashman said of his status. As a result, he said he can't discuss what the Yankees need to do this offseason "right at this moment."
Cashman's three-year deal that included increased authority expires Oct. 31. The Steinbrenner family wants Cashman to stay, but some in baseball believe the Seattle Mariners' GM job is Cashman's for the taking, and Cashman might want to look into it.
Then again, Seattle promises to be a major rebuilding project.
Manager Joe Girardi praised his relationship with Cashman.
"I'm under the assumption that he's still going to be here," Girardi said. "That's my personal assumption. I'm not speaking for him.
"When I signed (a three-year contract), I was under the assumption, in my mind, that he was going to be here the whole time I was."
Cashman didn't say missing the playoffs for the first time since 1993 was acceptable, but he indicated it was in part a consequence of his desire to build an organization that develops more of its own players.
"You're seeing a market correction on Wall Street," he said. "And you're seeing a market correction taking place in our organization the past few years.
"A year like this is coming at some point, no matter what."
Notes: Mike Mussina, struck Tuesday on the outside of his right elbow by a liner, played catch Wednesday and is determined to start Sunday at Boston in pursuit of his first 20-win season. "Unless I get hurt in the training room between now and then," Mussina said. ...
The Yankees extended their player-development contract with Double-A Trenton through 2014. ...
As a result of being eliminated from postseason play, the Yankees held Derek Jeter (sore left hand), Alex Rodriguez and Johnny Damon out of the lineup. Girardi said he wants to look at some younger players over the final five games, including first baseman Juan Miranda, who played Wednesday night, and catcher Francisco Cervelli.

One common neurodegenerative disease, Parkinson's disease, has been linked to exposure to MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) and to inhaled manganese1,2. Similarly, inhaled aluminum dust has been associated with neurotoxic effects and pre-clinical cognitive impairment3. Certain inhalation anesthetics have also been implicated in elevating AD risk, possibly by exacerbating the neurotoxic oligomerization of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide4. The early involvement of the olfactory cortex in AD has caused longtime speculation that some inhaled agent might play a role in AD risk5.
Recently, AD pathology was identified in young people living in areas with high levels of air pollution6,7. Furthermore, impaired cognition has been recently attributed to air pollution exposure in some populations8. These converging lines of evidence led us to analyze brain levels of Aβ40 and Aβ42 in mice exposed to an inhaled particulate matter (nickel nanoparticle; Ni NP) model of air pollution.

SECRET: I live out West and much of the area is sage brush. When driving along the back roads I watch the horizon on either side of my car. Sage brush is usually the same heigth and follows the terrain of the land. If the land drops into a gully the sagebrush likewise follows. Occasionally the sagebrush will rise up above the normal level of the terrain. STOP THE CAR and investigate. People used to dump their trash along country roads and the sage brush is showing you where! Lots of old toys, bottles, coins, etc. were tossed out.

Letter to victim increases robber's sentence
Erie resident Tavion Q. Larkin was in the Erie County Prison in November for a robbery case when he made an offer that added to his problems.
Larkin, 21, had another inmate write a letter to the robbery victim, offering that person money if he would not testify against Larkin.
The authorities got the letter and charged Larkin with intimidation of a witness.
Larkin on Friday was sentenced to a total of two to five years in state prison in both cases.
Erie County President Judge Ernest J. DiSantis Jr. gave him one to three years for conspiracy to commit robbery, a first-degree felony, and another one to two years for intimidation of a witness as a second-degree misdemeanor.
Larkin, of the 2300 block of Wayne Street, pleaded guilty in March. At the time of both crimes, he was on parole in a 2011 drug case and a 2012 case for loitering and prowling, according to court records.
DiSantis revoked Larkin's parole and probation, but he fashioned the resentencings in those cases in a way that did not boost Larkin's new sentence.
DiSantis called the new crimes serious but said Larkin, a high school dropout with no juvenile record, could be rehabilitated.
"I will leave you a light at the end of the tunnel," he said.
Erie police accused Larkin of participating in a robbery of a 28-year-old man in the 2200 block of McKinley Avenue on June 25. He was charged with having the inmate write the letter to that victim on Nov. 5, according to court records.
"I'm not a bad person. I made a bad mistake," Larkin told DiSantis. "I don't want to live my life in the jail system."

WOODBURY -- A former Greenwich Township resident was sentenced Friday to 33 years in prison for sexually assaulting his stepdaughter over a period of more than two years.
Michael Pavlyik, 40, who more recently lived in Dover, Pa., must serve 85 percent of the prison term before he's eligible for parole. He was convicted in April on all seven counts brought against him.
The offenses included intercourse with the victim among other sex crimes. He was also found guilty of showing pornography to the victim on a home computer.
According to testimony, the abuse occurred between 2004 and 2007, beginning when the girl was eight years old and ending when she was 11.
Superior Court Judge Walter L. Marshall Jr. praised the victim for her courage in coming forward and noted Pavlyik neither admitted guilt nor showed remorse after his conviction.
Marshall denied a request before sentencing by Pavlyik's attorney, Leonard Grasso, for a new trial. Grasso had cited "mistakes" made during the initial trial, although he didn't elaborate Friday on what was in his brief on the matter.
The judge also rejected Grasso's request to sentence his client as if the primary offense were second-degree crimes, which carry five to 10-year sentences, rather than first-degree, carrying 10 to 20-year sentences.
Senior Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Audrey Curwin, who'd presented the case against Pavlyik, asked for an 18-year prison term for each of the three first-degree aggravated sexual assault charges, with terms to be served consecutively (one after another).

The Bovet Manufacture upholds the tradition of decorative art applied to finely cut and hand-painted dials, thus passing on the unrivalled knowhow that has been gracing the Firm's collections and heritage since 1822.
Watchmaking entrepreneur Edouard Bovet was born in Fleurier in 1797. At the age of 17, he joined his brothers Alphonse and Frédéric as they left for London, one of the largest watchmaking capitals of the day.
After spending four years there, Bovet travelled to China, where he sold four pocket watches for a total of 10,000 Francs – the equivalent of one million dollars today.
On his return to Fleurier in 1830, he had his own workshop built. Ten years later, in 1840, the Firm there had a workforce of over 175. Fritz Bovet, Alphonse Bovet's son, joined the company and in 1889 filed one of the first patents for a single-button chronograph.
In 2001, Pascal Raffy bought out the firm and five years later embarked on a process of integration, acquiring the Dimier 1738 Handcrafted Fine Watchmaking Manufacture, the Dimier 1738 Dial Manufacture and Môtiers Castle – a fourteenth-century building that had previously belonged to the Bovet family, where he set up a watchmaking workshop for the assembly of timepieces.
Ever since, the Firm has developed and manufactured outstanding watches. Specialising in grand complications, the Manufacture covers 43 different trades, enabling all components – including spirals – to be manufactured.
In 2013, Bovet 1822 also presented its first oval-shaped watch: the "Recital 9 Tourbillon Miss Alexandra", the hands of which form a heart when they are aligned every hour.
The Bovet Manufacture upholds the tradition of decorative art applied to finely cut and hand-painted dials, thus passing on the unrivalled knowhow that has been gracing the Firm's collections and heritage since 1822.
The Firm's timepieces are equipped with highly technical movements, each component of which is enhanced to the uttermost – even those that can be seen only by the watchmakers themselves.
The manufacture uses the most highly skilled decorative procedures, including engraving and miniature painting.
Ever since the nineteenth century, Bovet 1822 has been embodying respect for the traditions of handmade watchmaking.
1797: Edouard Bovet born
1822: Maison Bovet founded
2001: Pascal Raffy becomes sole proprietor of the Firm
2006: acquisition of the Dimier 1738 Manufactures and Môtiers Castle
2010: launch of the Amadeo® concept
Château de Môtiers : This collection – the manufacture's most recent – combines a traditional time display with the date, in an elegant round case.
Fleurier Amadeo® : The Fleurier Amadeo® collection consists of timepieces that can be transformed into wristwatches, back into pocket watches (or sautoir necklaces for ladies), or into table watches – with no tool necessary. This concept further justifies the use of tourbillon movements manufactured in-house.
BOVET by Pininfarina : Created in 2010, this collection is the fruit of the partnership between BOVET and the legendary Italian designer. With an unashamedly modern, sports feel, the timepieces in this collection also feature the convertible Amadeo® case.
SPORTSTER : Inspired by Art Deco, this collection comprises a series of contemporary chronographs with a Large Date display.
Dimier : A tribute to the craftsmen in the Manufacture of the same name, this collection is the only one to boast a case with four horns – and a traditional crown position at 3 o'clock.

The U.S. economy cruised ahead in the fall, lost power in the winter and clicked back into first gear last spring.
No, scratch that. The U.S. economy streaked ahead in the fall, slammed on the brakes after New Year's and picked up modestly in the spring.
Or did it, perhaps, take a different path altogether?
Strangely, no one is quite sure. The official statistics that shape the nation's view of its economy, influence policy decisions, dominate the evening news and electrify Wall Street traders often miss the mark - sometimes dramatically.

Open throughout December and January, from 10 am - 5pm, Monday to Saturday excepting Christmas and New Year weekends.
Rupert Copping is a versatile painter, who works in a variety of styles, and whose work is constantly evolving. His use of colour is both vivid and subtle at the same time. Inspiration for his subject matter comes from various sources.
His watercolours are mainly representational landscapes, but his oils encompass both landscape and scenes from life on Skye, completely imaginary and symbolic narrative painting vividly painted in a rather naive style, and landscapes in a semi-abstract style.
This exhibition features watercolours from Ł20 , prints from Ł22 and oils from Ł120.
Rupert is always happy to discuss the possibility of commissions. He is at the gallery, where he also works, 4 or 5 days a week in the winter, but his wife, Jemima has the Borealis Shop next door and is always happy to talk to visitors.

To provide its readers with comprehensive information on gas exploration activity in Lycoming County, the Sun-Gazette next Sunday will begin publishing a list of gas leases registered at the county Courthouse, according to newspaper Publisher Bernard A. Oravec.
"The Sun-Gazette, as the only newspaper of record in Lycoming County, has an obligation to our readers to provide as much information as possible surrounding the development of the Marcellus Shale," Oravec said. "As publisher, I've been contacted many times by readers interested in finding out where land has been leased by oil and gas companies."
"As this newspaper is located in the heart of the Marcellus Shale boom, we're contacted not only by our local readers, but readers around the country interested in this type of information," he said.
Article Photos
The listings will include the date of the lease, the parcel owner and home address, the company leasing the land, the amount of acres leased, the parcel's location and the person leasing the land, which is usually the property owner, he said.
Readers have expressed interest in what gas companies are paying for the leases, but that information is unavailable, Oravec said.
Companies are under no legal obligation to reveal financial considerations, including royalty rates and lease payments, when registering leases at the county Register and Recorder's office, said Thomas Murphy, an educator with the Penn State Cooperative Extension.
"Typically, companies will file a memorandum of the lease," Murphy said. "It's a reduced version ... that does not contain the financial information as it pertains to the lease."
"It's for competitive reasons. A company that is leasing in an area with other
companies doesn't want all those companies to know what they are paying for those leases," he said.
The practice also prevents landowners from finding out how much neighbors have received for their leases, he said.
The listings will be published starting next Sunday and run in chronological order, starting at the beginning of 2000 and continuing until they are up to date. So far, the Sun-Gazette has identified more than 8,000 leases related to the gas industry.
This feature will be exclusive to the print edition.
According to Oravec, the newspaper also will return the real estate transactions to the Sunday newspaper. In the recent past, the transactions have been available only in the Sun-Gazette's monthly Real Estate Guide, he said.
"While (the transactions) will still be available in the Real Estate Guide, our readers have asked us to return them to the Sunday paper," he said.

Before assessment can begin we must decide how quality is to be defined and that depends on whether one assesses only the performance of practitioners or also the contributions of patients and of the health care system; on how broadly health and responsibility for health are defined; on whether the maximally effective or optimally effective care is sought; and on whether individual or social preferences define the optimum. We also need detailed information about the causal linkages among the structural attributes of the settings in which care occurs, the processes of care, and the outcomes of care. Specifying the components or outcomes of care to be sampled, formulating the appropriate criteria and standards, and obtaining the necessary information are the steps that follow. Though we know much about assessing quality, much remains to be known.

At a time in which our roads and bridges are falling apart because of a shortage of money, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood's decision to put walking and bicycling on par with vehicle travel is nuts.
We agree that walking and bicycling paths have a role in our communities and deserve consideration for some funding, as has been the case in the past.
But what LaHood, a former Republican congressman, is proposing goes far beyond that.
In this March 15 entry on his government blog (http://fastlane.dot.gov), LaHood wrote:
"Today, I want to announce a sea change. People across America who value bicycling should have a voice when it comes to transportation planning. This is the end of favoring motorized transportation at the expense of non-motorized."
Later he wrote the Transportation Department is encouraging states and other entities to "treat walking and bicycling as equals with other transportation modes."
But in most of America, walking and bicycling are not equal compared to the trains, trucks and cars that transport most people and products.
The National Association of Manufacturers' blog, Shopfloor.org, calls new policy ''dumb and irresponsible,'' noting that 80 percent of the nation's freight moves by truck.
We don't agree with those who say that the United States should not be paying for any bicycling and walking projects from fuel-tax proceeds.
Walking and bicycling are modes of transportation and developing safer routes for those also is better for motorists.
But except in the most urban settings, they probably aren't equal in need as routes for motorized travel and shouldn't have the same priority for funding.
We suggest LaHood rethink his "sea change" in policy because right now it's all wet.

When we are finished creating a presentation, we need an audience. Sometimes that audience is on social networking sites, such as Facebook and YouTube; sometimes they are on the couch watching TV; sometimes they are on a mobile device. PowerPoint 2010 allows you to save your finished presentation as a video, whether you can upload to your blog or social network, burn to a DVD or transfer to just about any device. Before we can turn our slideshow into a video, we need to consider how we want the slides to advance. If you have already set recordings on every slide, then you are set, but most of the time our slides only advance when the mouse is clicked.
In a video, there is no mouse. So PowerPoint gives us two options. We can record timings, along with optional narration, and use that for automatic advancement in the video, or we can specify a default duration for slide advancement, which will be applied to any slides that don't have their own setting. When we access the Backstage view and click Save and Send, we can see the Create a Video Option under the File Types. The right half of the screen describes the procedure and gives us two options - first, quality.
Higher quality takes more space and takes longer to send, but the image is going to look better. Two, timing. As we discussed earlier, you can use recorded timings or specify a default time for each slide without a setting. When we click Create Video, we are asked for a file name and location to save to. Then we are done. We can now take our finished video file in WMV format and send it off, upload it, or burn it to a DVD. Now that our file is finished saving as a video, let's go ahead and take a look, and see what it looks like.
Here is the file that PowerPoint created. Notice that it is a Windows Media Audio/ Video file, and you will see that this file is actually quite large, 125 MGs; of course the only reason it's that large is because it contains a one- minute video inside it. Let's go ahead and double-click on this video. We will open it up in Windows Media Player, and here it is. You can see that it includes the audio, video, and all the animations and transitions that we had in our original presentation.
Just like a regular video, I can skip to any point of the presentation, and the person watching this can watch this on YouTube, Facebook, any mobile device, or you can burn the file directly to a DVD, and let them watch at their comfort of their own home. Remember that video files can be quite large. Here is a few things that will increase the file size and therefore take longer to send: audio, including any narration, sound effects or music, transitions of any kind - especially when there is a complex background image - animation - to some degree - and of course video.
To learn more about specifying durations for individual slides, or recording timings and narrations, please watch the PowerPoint 2010 Essentials Training video.

Tori Spelling and the Sport of Celebrity MarriagesDresden Shumaker
Tori Spelling is having marriage problems and she wants all of us to know it. Earlier this week Tori and her husband Dean McDermott started filming True Tori, a new reality series for Lifetime. Tori doesn't just want us to know about her problems with Dean, she wants us to tune in and experience her marriage possibly falling apart.
I'm instantly sad that this is her impulse, but at my core I get it. I completely understand her desire to want to yell at the world and demand that we all look and rubberneck.
Like many of us, I grew up in an era where divorce seemed to be happening in everyone's home. It was all hush-hush and behind closed doors, but suddenly my friends had two places to sleep and their birthday parties were extra awkward. Some friends had special safety code words they were sent to school with every day while their parents freaked out over custody battles in court. As kids, we all knew parts of what was going on. We knew a family was breaking up. Maybe someone was going to move.
Think about the kind of world that Tori grew up in: a child of the '80s and a child completely enmeshed in the world of high drama. There haven't been many moments of her adulthood that she hasn't wanted to offer up to the public on a platter. This impulse to be seen, to be raw, to be open is constantly driving her and never seems to be sated.
This season on NBC's Parenthood we've watched the marriage of characters Julia and Joel fall apart, and it has been beyond heartbreaking. Every episode I cringe and yet I am still rooting for this fabricated couple to get back together. The Today Show recently asked, "Are you Team Julia or Team Joel?" Can we be on both? Can we be on team "they work it out and it's going to be OK?"
I kept thinking about Julia and Joel as I was reading more about this Tori Spelling show. I am such a hopeless romantic and such a believer in love that it is crushing to see a marriage crumble. And yet there does seem to be some sport in watching celebrity marriages play out in public. When the news of the
divorce uncoupling of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin surfaced, a lot of people seemed to actually cheer. Yes, celebrate.
That's disgusting.
Perhaps by Tori inviting us into her life during this moment, she is hoping to show us she and her husband aren't fictional characters; they are real people going through a real crisis.
Tori's new show is said to "document the couple in almost real-time as they navigate the unknown road ahead, beginning when Dean leaves treatment." He has been in treatment for sex addiction. Being on camera may be the only way these two know how to be accountable to each other right now. I wish them nothing but the best.
True Tori will premiere Tuesday, April 22 at 10 p.m
