Well-Made Play
19th C--a superbly plotted play, particularly by such gifted French playwrights as Eugene Scribe
Today--a play that has a workable plot but shallow characterization and trivial ideas
Objectives of Realism
1. Art must truthfully depict the real world
2. Truth can only be obtained by direct observation
3. Only contemporary life can be observed
4. Observer must obtain objective distance
5. Art must illuminate social issues
6. Behavior is shaped by nature and nurture
Romanticism and Melodrama
Romanticism--movement away from neoclassic formalism toward out-sized passions, exotic and grotesque stories, and all-encompassing worldviews.
Survives today in grand opera and 19th C based musicals
Melodrama--Suspenseful, plot-oriented drama featuring all-good heroes, all-bad villains, simplistic dialogue, soaring moral conclusions, and bravura acting
Box Set
A stage set consisting of hard scenic pieces representing the walls and sometimes the ceiling of a room, with on wall left out for the audience to peer into. This set design was developed in the 19th C and remains in use in realistic plays
The first major antirealistic movement in the arts and in the theatre. Symbolism, which emphasizes the symbolic nature of theatrical presentation and the abstract possibilities of drama, flourished as a significant movement from the late 19th C to the early 20th
An artistic style that greatly exaggerates perceived reality in order to express inner truths directly. Popular mainly in Germany between the world wars, expressionism in the theatre is notable for its gutsy dialogue, piercing sounds, bright lighting and coloring, bold scenery, and shocking, vivid imagery
An art movement of the early 20th C, in which the artist sought to go beyond realism into superrealism
Epic Theatre
As popularized by Brecht, a style of theatre in which the play presents a series of semiisolated episodes intermixed with songs and other forms of direct address, all leading to a general moral conclusion or set of integrated moral questions
Theatre of the Absurd
A theatrical style that has been applied to the post-WWII plays of Beckett, Ionesco, Genet, and others.
Plays with unrealistic and illogical plots, repetitous and disconnected language, and unclear themes, reflecting a world in which humans "absurdly" seek meaning but never find it
"New Stagecraft"
Stagecraft of simplification
Resulted from Appia and Craig's objection to to a three-dimensional actor standing on a flat floor surrounded by acres of "realistically" painted canvas
The 4 "R"s
1. Read, Read, Read (the script)
2. Research (the playwright, the script, the time period)
3. Render
4. Redo
Appia and Craig
Created the "New Stagecraft"
Stylist designers
Revolted against the scenic practices of the traditional European acting company
"Funnel" Theory of Collaboration
The script and all the surrounding ideas go into the funnel
The "neck" of the funnel is the director's concept for the of the play
The final product is what comes out of the funnel
Lighting Design Options and Tools
Things to consider:
1. Intensity
2. Color
3. Distribution
4. Movement
Use filters (gels) to control color
Use Fresnel and Ellipsoidal lights
Use globo (a patterned plate place in front of a lamp to cast a certain pattern)
Scene Design Options and Tools
Representational or Abstract (stylized)
Painted scenery (2-D)
Architectural (3-D)
Painted-Architectural (combination)
1. Flats (used for walls)
2. Wagons
3. Scrim
4. Platforms
5. Cyclorama
Costume Design Options and Tools
Draped--Classical Greek/Roman
Neutral--costume that doesn't make a specific statement
Fantastical--fantasy based
Straight vs. Character Make-up
Straight--merely correcting for the lights
Character--used to alter the appearance to suit the character of the actor
Reviewer vs. Critic
Reviewer--watches the play for pure entertainment
Critic--looks for entertainment, social significance, human significance, and artistic quality
Responsibilities of the Dramaturg
a specialist in play construction and the body of dramatic literature, frequently engaged by professional and academic theatres to assist in choosing and analyzing plays, to develop production concepts, to research topics pertinent to historic period or play production style and to write program essays
Interpretive vs. Generative
Interpretive--Playwright's work is faithfully translated to the stage
Generative--Director freely makes changes to the script
Paradox of Acting
The actor must be both the character they are playing and still be the actor
Dual Consciousness
Outside-In vs. Inside-Out
Outside-In--the actor changes his appearance, and the personality follows
Inside-Out--the actor gets in the mindset of the character, and the outward appearance follows
Given Circumstances
1. Who am I?
2. Where am I?
3. What am I doing?
4. When does the action take place?
The character's overall goal of the entire play
What they hope to accomplish by the end of the play
The way in which the character goes about achieving their super-objective
Induction vs Threat
Evolution of Modern Musical
1. Musical Revue--1866--The Black Crook
2. Musical Comedy--Showboat
3. Musical Drama--Oklahoma!--Drama ballet
4. Contemporary Musical--Wicked
Broadway and Off-Broadway
Broadway--the major commercial theatre district in New York
Off-Broadway--the New York professional theatre located outside the Broadway district
Stock vs. Repertory
Stock--a character recognizable mainly for his conformity to a standard dramatic stereotype
Repertory--the plays a theatre company produces. a company's current repertory consists of those plays available for production at any time

"I've just heard those cruises to Alaska are amazing," said Bramhall, 74. After three five-year terms as county clerk — and several decades a key figure in Morris County's Republican Party — Bramhall has decided not to seek re-election this year. "I've been involved for many, many, many years. I think it's time to travel."
Already, familiar figures are considering bids to replace Bramhall — and for any of them, the clerk's office would mean a transition to a less politically charged atmosphere.
Douglas Cabana, the longest-serving member of the current Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders, said he's "contemplating what my options are." Also thinking about the clerk's seat are Freeholder Anne Grossi and Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carrol.
More than any other official on the freeholder board, Cabana represents its old guard — a class of freeholders who place great confidence in their staff, but haven't expressed the same zeal for line-by-line management of the budget some of the board's more recent additions promise. The last three elections have seen incumbents defeated in primaries by challengers running on pledges to curb spending — leaving Cabana the only current freeholder who has served a full three-year term.
Cabana said he's "never shied away from a fight, and I've enjoyed my years on the freeholder board," but the different pace of the clerk's office holds also some appeal.
"At least I could continue to be part of the Morris County family, which I thoroughly enjoy," he said.
Any of those three prospective candidates — all Republicans — would have to put aside running for re-election to his or her current office to pursue the clerk's position, which pays approximately $124,000 per year. For that reason, Cabana said, they're likely to talk among themselves before deciding who might run.
But in an interview with Parsippany Patch, Grossi appeared to have already decided to leave her job as a freeholder after her term completes this year, and said she's had her eye on the clerk's office for some time.
"It's the county in a different way: I would not have to come to a consensus with six other people if i wanted to get things done," she told Patch. "I would make the decisions in the best interests of the people in the course I set out on my own. That seems very appealing to me."
Grossi, at Friday's reorganization meeting of the Morris County Freeholders, used her allotted time for remarks to stress what she said was the strong, responsible stewardship of freeholders to date. She made those remarks as many of the board's newest members talked about the sharper focus they want to take when it comes to finances.
"The freeholders were not penny-wise and dollar-foolish," she said.
Grossi had not yet returned calls made by NJ.com Monday, seeking comment about whether her statements were meant to draw a contrast with other members — and whether any divide with them could have influenced her decision to leave the board.
Carroll, whose 25th legislative district is largely situated in Morris County, said he'll make up his mind by Thursday whether to run for clerk, but "I'm strongly leaning toward running for the Assembly again."
The assemblyman said he has considered the clerk's seat because it's a chance to get work done "quietly, confidently, sufficiently," without a lot of the political struggle that comes with serving in the legislature's minority party.
"There's a certain frustration," Carroll said. But the idea of running down ticket from Gov. Chris Christie, he said, is an enticing one — and he's hopeful the Republicans could pick up some seats because of the governor's political strength.
Cabana and Caroll both praised Bramhall for seeing the clerk's office through technological transitions — as more of its operations were computerized, and voters began using electronic voting machines.
"That's one of the basic things about out constitutional officers (such as clerk and sheriff)," Carroll said. "If your name is ever mentioned in the paper,
you're probably doing something wrong. They do their job, they do them
well. That's exactly what I think Joan has done. She brings a quiet
confidence to the role, and she clearly enjoys it."
Bramhall became county clerk in 1999, following Alfonse W. Scerbo.
She first joined the county Republican Committee in 1993, and served for several years as its chairwoman. She was a freeholder in the mid-1990s alongside Gov. Chris Christie, and has been a member of the state Electoral College.
Bramhall said she's proud of the improvements she's made to the "tired and cramped" office she inherited. She credited her staff for keeping the office running smoothly and efficiently.
She declined to offer any speficic advice for a would-be successor — "It's really up to the individual" — but said she's looking forward to a chance to duck out of politics for a bit.
Attending campaign event after campaign event can get tiring, she said.
"Especially when you have to get up at 6 a.m. for work," Bramhall said.

Cleveland-Marshall College of Law
Founded: In 1897, as the Cleveland Law School. It was the first law school to admit women. Merged with John Marshall School of Law in 1946. Cleveland-Marshall College of Law affiliated with Cleveland State University in 1969.
Enrollment: 670
Faculty: 44
Bar passage on first try: 89 percent (July 2008)
A judge can be had for $100,000. Defense lawyers for $50,000. A juror for $10,000.
This isn't some John Grisham-type scheme to bribe the court, though. These sums are for enhancing legal justice.
The Cleveland-Marshall College of Law at Cleveland State University is appealing to attorneys and law firms to chip in on a $1 million mock trial courtroom. Naming rights for features of the room, from the judge's bench to an individual jury seat, are one way to contribute. A style show fund-raiser Wednesday evening, organized by female lawyers in Cleveland, is another.
The courtroom will give Cleveland-Marshall students training in trial procedures and equipment. Practicing lawyers can rent the room to prepare for trial, testing out jury arguments and advanced technology for evidence displays. Firms can use it to acclimate young associates to the legal arena.
More than that, the courtroom will spotlight Northeast Ohio as one of the country's biggest law hubs, said Irene Rennillo, the powerhouse behind the style show.
"That's the kind of town this is. We have critical legal capital here," said Rennillo, a former trial lawyer and president of the Rennillo court reporting company in Cleveland.
Geoffrey Mearns, who has won praise as dean of Cleveland-Marshall since 2005, also sees the mock court as a way to draw attention to his home town's legal strength.
"To my knowledge, no one else in this area has a courtroom as attractive, modern and flexible as this," he said.
Trial courts are familiar turf to the former assistant U.S. attorney, who won convictions against a member of New York's Gambino crime family and Oklahoma City bomber Terry Nichols in a career that also spans white-collar criminal defense work at Baker Hostetler, Thompson Hine and Jones Day.
Mearns said he wants students to get practical experience that will hone them into great trial lawyers. And he sees the courtroom as a natural tie-in to local firms and lawyers.
"We've always had a strong connection to Northeast Ohio," Mearns said. "This facility will just be a further manifestation of that connection."
Cleveland-Marshall already has a mock courtroom, but it's built like an appellate forum: a bench for three judges instead of a single trial judge, no witness stand, no jury box. Some law schools have convertible courtrooms, but Cleveland-Marshall's is not.
The college hired Bostwick Design Partnership to design a second courtroom for trial practice.
Plans call for a simulation of today's modern courtrooms, such as the one at the Carl B. Stokes Federal Courthouse in Cleveland, with their complex web of audio-visual and information technology.
A "sympodium" between counsel tables features a touch-screen device that allows attorneys to "mark up" anything displayed on a 72-inch flat-panel plasma evidence screen positioned opposite the jury box. A touch screen on the witness stand allows the witness to annotate digital evidence at the instruction of attorneys.
Each juror has a 17-inch display panel, and 42-inch monitors are mounted in the gallery. High-definition video cameras allow the proceedings to be viewed from a room across the hall with seating for 75 people. Law students and faculty can watch by logging on to the school's internal network.
Cleveland-Marshall ran out of money to build the courtroom after using most of a $5 million donation from the family of real estate developer Bert Wolstein to renovate its 1970s-era building last year. The upgrade added new offices and law clinics and a dramatic new entrance at the corner of East 18th St. and Euclid Ave.
The trial courtroom, planned for completion in January 2011, already has sold some of its naming rights. Gone are the plaintiff's table, witness stand, court reporter, podium, alumni judicial portraits and IT manager/bailiff center, bought for $25,000 to $50,000 each.
The college is still accepting money for the rest of the room. Contact Anne-Marie Connors, director of development, at 216-687-2300, email@example.com, for details.

Winter went down swinging this year, with a few waves of chunky sleet and snow sweeping through western Massachusetts late Wednesday afternoon and through the early evening.
Spring officially arrives at 12:57 p.m. today, and CBS 3 Springfield meteorologist Nick Morganelli says a warmer afternoon will arrive with it. Highs today are expected to peak around 50 degrees.
We're not quite out of the woods yet in terms of wintry weather; the first full week of spring is still forecast to see lows in the teens.
How does the weather on the first day of spring 2014 stack up against previous years? The gallery above shows photos shot by our staff photographers around the vernal equinox, going back to 1997.

Study Tips: 6 key skills for studying in the UK
It's a common challenge for many international students – you come to the UK to study, only to find that you need to develop a whole new set of academic skills. Here's our advice on key skills for studying in the UK.
But what are those skills, exactly? INTO's Lisa Crowhurst, talks you through them…
If you want to do well at a UK university, you'll need a "toolbox" of academic skills. These will help you to get the most out of your classes and perform well in assignments – they'll also be useful in your future career! Here are my top 6:
1. Group discussion skills
At UK and US universities, you'll be expected to contribute to group discussions in seminars and tutorials. So it's important that you develop your skills in speaking, listening, presenting ideas, and engaging with different viewpoints.
Career relevancy: By developing your group discussion skills, you'll be more confident in professional meetings. You'll know how to make your views heard while still respecting your colleagues' opinions.
2. Critical thinking skills
Critical thinking is about developing your own opinions based on the facts presented. It's about identifying an author's purpose, considering the evidence, and reflecting on different perspectives.
Career relevancy: Critical thinking skills are very useful in the workplace. They can help you to make good decisions by evaluating information fairly and objectively.
3. Independent study skills
Independent study skills are about being able to organise, structure and manage your workload without supervision.
Career relevancy: Employers tend to value people who are able to work independently and manage their own time.
4. Teamwork skills
Team assignments are common in both UK and US degree programmes. This is because working as part of a team helps you to develop your skills in communication, collaboration and cooperation. So learning how to work well in a group is an essential part of university study.
Career relevancy: Most careers involve some form of teamwork or collaboration, so it's important that you know how to work well with others.
5. Academic writing skills
Academic writing skills include structuring essays, analysing tasks, doing research, structuring ideas, presenting arguments, expressing yourself effectively and avoiding plagiarism.
Career relevancy: When writing professional reports, it's important that you're able to present your ideas in a clear, structured way.
6. Referencing skills
Good referencing is about acknowledging your sources in a recognised academic style. It's a key part of most assignments.
Career relevancy: Again, referencing is a useful skill to have when writing professional reports. If you can develop these skills at university, you'll find that they'll be true assets in your future career too.

A new study out today showing that U.S. adults lag those in most developed countries at reading, math, workplace and technology skills reinforces the importance of K-12 education in the U.S.
Basically, if U.S. students don't gain high skill levels by the time they leave high school, they are unlikely to get them later from higher education or the work place, the study found. That is different from other countries with higher levels of excellence and equity than we have, it said.
It detected that because the United States and a couple other countries had lots of young people who did poorly on international tests of reading, math and science given to 15-year-olds also had high proportions of adults who did poorly on the new test, the Survey of Adult Skills, given for the first time by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
That "suggests that the relationship between social disadvantage and lower skills proficiency may be established early in individuals' lives," the OECD said in its report on the adult test results.
You may have read about the study on the front page of today's Oregonian.
The report says Korea has figured out how to do better by its young people, while the U.S. has not. Koreans aged 56 to 65 have some of the lowest literacy and numeracy skills of the 24 nations that took part in the test. But the nation's education system has improved and serves almost all young people well, the report says. When comparing the proficiency level of people aged 16 to 24, Koreans come in second to Japan.
The story in the United States is quite different, the report says. "In England/Northern Ireland and the United States, the improvements between younger and older generations are barely apparent. Young people in these countries are entering a much more
demanding labor market, yet they are not much better prepared than those who are retiring," it says.
When it comes to using numbers specifically, young Americans have been shortchanged. Those aged 16 to 24 rate dead last for math skills among all the countries that participated, because other nations' performance levels have risen so much faster than ours.
The report strikes a hopeful note by noting that so many countries have shown so much improvement. But the static skill levels among U.S. generations seems to take the wind out of that sail for American young people.
Does this match your experience?

UPDATED 6:39 p.m. QB Rhett Bomar has also been added.
The Giants began the process of compiling their eight-man practice squad at noon on Sunday when players who were let go on Saturday officially cleared waivers.
Among those signed were:
CB DeAndre Wright: the team's sixth-round pick in April
S Sha'reff Rashad: an undrafted free agent from Central Florida
S Vince Anderson: undrafted from Webber International (Fla.)
DT Anthony Bryant: a former sixth-round pick of the Buccaneers from Alabama
TE Jason Pociask : a 2006 fifth-round pick of the Jets, most recently with Tampa Bay
QB Rhett Bomar: the team's fifth-round pick
DE Maurice Evans, a highly regarded undrafted free agent from Penn State who had an impressive camp and preseason, was claimed by the Buccaneers and is now on their active roster, his agent said via e-mail. That's a disappointment for the Giants, though they probably expected he wouldn't make it through.
LB Kenny Ingram, an undrafted free agent from Florida State, was not signed and is on his way back to Florida. But he was told he might be called back in the near future.
I'm still waiting to hear whether QB Rhett Bomar cleared waivers.
More to come.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- The bodies of four Grand Rapids missionaries killed last week in a tragic motor vehicle accident in Haiti will arrive at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport Thursday night, Jan. 17.
In a statement released Thursday afternoon, Diocese Spokesman Carl Apple said the bodies would arrive on a chartered jet.
Related: On church humanitarian trip to Haiti, four from Grand Rapids killed on narrow mountain road
The news comes as families of the four — Jim and Rita Cwengros, Matthew Kutsche and Mary LaPonsie — begin to make funeral preparations. A memorial service for Kutsche, 24, is tentatively scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday, Jan. 21, at 1st (Park) Congregational Church. Funeral arrangements for the others are pending.
Obituaries published this week in The Press and on MLive.com provide further insight into their separate lives.
Kutsche worked at Staffing Inc. in Holland and planned to serve in the National Guard. A 2010 Grand Valley State University graduate, he was engaged to Carly Andrews and volunteered with several different organizations aimed at serving youth.
LaPonsie, 54, was a spirited spin instructor and fierce softball competitor. She worked for Advantage Health and had made multiple trips to Haiti for mission work.
Jim and Rita Cwengros were high school sweethearts in Glen Lake, Mich., and married in 1979. Rita worked as a nurse, and Jim, as a research specialist at Pfizer International. The couple are survived by three children.
The fateful accident in Haiti came Friday, Jan. 12, as the group traveled on a mountain road to a parish in Seguin. Their Toyota Landcruiser, which was traveling in a caravan of five vehicles, crashed through an iron barrier and plunged into a ravine.
The crash has been attributed to a brake failure.
Hundreds gathered Saturday night, Jan. 11, at Holy Spirit Parish in Grand Rapids for a candlelight vigil to remember those lost. The mission trip was organized in part by Holy Spirit, in conjunction with the local group Haiti Needs You.

How to Grow Pole Beans
Four Methods:Prepare the GroundPlant Your SeedsTake Care of Pole BeansHarvest Pole BeansCommunity Q&A
Green beans are the second most popular vegetable grown in home gardens, topped only by tomatoes. Pole beans are a variety of green beans that scale fences or stakes. If your garden space is limited, growing pole beans may conserve ground area while adding a dimension of height to your garden layout.
Method 1
Prepare the Ground
1Decide where to plant your pole beans.
- Select an area that receives full sunlight. When you cultivate pole beans, they need plenty of sunshine.
- Choose an area next to a fence or plan on installing poles at least 3 feet (91.44 cm) high.
2Break up your soil with a shovel, hoe, or rototiller. To plant green beans, the soil needs to be crumbly and free of weeds.
3Test the ph level of your soil with a soil tester. You can purchase soil testers at a nursery or garden shop, or bring a small sample of dirt to the nursery and ask them to test it for you. When you cultivate pole beans, they prefer a ph balance of 6.5.
- If the ph balance is too low, add between 4 oz. (.113 kg) and 18 oz. (.510 kg) of lime per square yard (91.44 cm) to your soil to make it more alkaline.
- If the ph balance is too high, try adding wood chips, pine needles or sawdust to your soil to raise the acid level.
4Determine if you want to plant green beans in rows or in hills.
5Use a garden hoe to make the rows or hills. Space rows 30 inches (76.20 cm) to 36 inches (91.44 cm) apart when cultivating pole beans, or separate hills by 30 inches (76.20 cm).
Method 2
Plant Your Seeds
1Wait until there is no danger of frost. A late frost may kill growing pole beans.
2Bury 4 to 8 seeds 2 inches (5.08 cm) deep on hills, or plant seeds 2 inches (5.08 cm) deep, 3 inches (7.62 cm) from each other in rows.
3Cover each seed with soil and then water them. When you plant green beans, you want to water them right away.
Method 3
Take Care of Pole Beans
1Weed your pole beans regularly. When cultivating pole beans, you want them to obtain all the nutrients from the soil, and weeds will diminish their supply.
2Water your pole beans. When growing pole beans, you may have to water them every day.
3Add a layer of mulch to help control weeds and contain the moisture in the ground.
4Tie the pole bean stalks to the fence or stakes with string. This will ensure that growing pole beans remain vertical.
Method 4
Harvest Pole Beans
1Start harvesting pole beans that are long and firm right away. When you are growing pole beans, they will produce more flowers that will turn into beans if you pick them every day. Do not pick wet beans and be careful not to break stems and branches.
2Eat fresh beans right from the garden, or store them in the refrigerator.
3Blanch pole beans and put them in the freezer to save them for future use.

If you need to save rather than splurge this fall, stick with key accessories that are on trend and in style. In addition to scarves (this is an affordable trend that is key for the season), belts, and layered necklaces and bracelets, I'd say consider colorful or patterned tights this season. If you don't want to go colorful, choose a hue you normally wouldn't wear,like chocolate brown or grey. Or, wear black with a nice pattern to them. All of the tights below are from http://www.hue.com for $22 and under.

Born in Cleethorpes, UK in 1955, Robert Hugill is a mainly self-taught composer. In the 70's and 80's he was the musical director of the Church of St. Andrew and St. George, Rosyth, Scotland, musical director of London's first Lesbian and Gay choir, The Pink Singers and acted as composer and arranger for a number of cabaret acts in London and at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
As a singer, he is currently a member of London Concord Singers and the Latin Mass Choir at St. Mary's Church, Cadogan Street, Chelsea, London. Robert's motets and mass settings have been performed at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church Chelsea , the Oxford Oratory , St. Woolos Cathedral Newport , All Saints Church, Margaret Street, London, St. Botolph without Bishopsgate, London, St Catharine's College, Cambridge and St. George's Church, Hanover Square, London.
In 1994 Robert founded FifteenB, the choir which gave the first public performance of Robert's cantata Vocibus Mulierum - Women's Voices. In 1998 FifteenB was awarded a grant, by the National Lottery through the Arts Council of England, to give the first performance of Robert's cantata The Young Man and Death - A Dialogue, for choir and wind octet. In 2000 the choir premiered Robert's Requiem for unaccompanied choir at the Chelsea Festival. They returned to the Chelsea Festival in 2002 to give the first performance of The Barbarian at the Gate with Philharmonia Brass. The choir returned to the festival in 2004 and 2006 with programmes of liturgical music including a number of Robert's motets.
In 1999 Robert was commissioned by the early music group, The Burgundian Cadence, to write Passion a 40 minute unaccompanied setting of the passion story from St. John's Gospel interpolated with poems by the American poet, Carl Cook. The Burgundian Cadence performed Passion on a UK tour in 1999 and subsequently recorded the work. The recording received its first broadcast performance on Vatican Radio as part of the Jubilee celebrations in 2000. Robert's Choruses from Passion was premičred by FifteenB in 2008, and the work received its Polish premiere in 2009 when Chor Mieszany Caecilianum performed it in the Cathedral of Christ the King, Katowice.
Robert's motet Here Be Angels was commissioned by the Crouch End Festival Chorus, musical director David Temple. The chorus gave the first performances of the motet in March 1998 and the revised version was premiered by London Concord Singers in December 2002. The Black Dragon, inspired by a science fiction story, was premiered by London Concord Singers in 2000 as part of their Millennium celebrations. In 2006 London Concord Singers premiered Robert's Ubi Carmina as part of their 40th anniversary celebrations.
In 1999 Robert wrote the incidental music to 'Candle Dancing', a play by the Pittsburgh based playwright Coni Ciongoli-Koepfinger and the music was performed in Pittsburgh as a part of the first run of the play. In November 2001 Robert's song cycle Songs of Love and Loss received its first American performance at CMU in Pittsburgh. Robert's opera, Garrett, based on a play by Coni Ciongoli-Koepfinger, was staged in London in June 2001. An audio book of the play CandleDancing, with Robert's music, is being issued in 2009.
A number of Robert's orchestral works have been premičred by the Salomon Orchestra. In March 2006 the orchestra, conducted by Adrian Brown with baritone David Greiner gave the first performances of Robert's Elegy for Baritone and Orchestra and the tone poem In the Barbarians Camp.
As a complement to his amateur group, Robert founded the professional choir, the eight:fifteen vocal ensemble in 2005. They gave their debut performance at St. Giles Cripplegate, premičring Robert's cantata The Testament of Dr. Cranmer. They repeated the performance in March 2006 as part of the commemorations for the 450th anniversary of Cranmer's execution at Oxford University Church. The ensemble, conducted by Paul Brough, recorded The Testament of Dr. Cranmer as part of a new disc of Robert's choral and vocal music recently released on the Divine Art Label.
Robert's songs came 2nd and 4th in the English Poetry and Song Society's Ivor Gurney competition in November 2007 and another song came 3rd in the Society's A.E. Houseman competition in February 2009. His song For David on His Birthday was 4th in the English Poetry and Song Society's Diamond Songs competition in 2012 and was premiered at Colston Halls in Bristol by Stephen Varcoe and Nigel Foster.
Robert's new motet for Alistair Dixon and the Chapelle du Roi, Videte miraculum, was performed in December 2010 at St. John's Smith Square, London and performed one of his motets from Tempus per Annum there in 2012. His 3nd volume of motets for the church's year, Tempus per Annum, was published in autumn 2011. His new opera, When a Man Knows, based on a play by Alan Richardson, received its premiere on 13th June 2010 and was staged by FifteenB Productions at the Bridewell Theatre in March 2011 in a production directed by Ian Caddy. The production was reviewed in both Opera and Tempo magazines.
Robert's Passion is published by Bardic Edition and the remainder of his catalogue is available on-line from Spherical Editions.
Robert writes regular CD reviews, Opera reviews and feature articles on his blog Planet Hugill and writes occasional opera reviews for Opera Today.

IRVINGTON -- The owner of an Irvington variety store was arrested for selling counterfeit music CDs from his shop and running an illegal gambling parlor from the basement that took in thousands of dollars daily, the Essex County Prosecutor's Office said today.
Castel Dorcely, 43, of Irvington, who owns Le P'tit Chateau on Springfield Avenue, was arrested today along with two other men, each charged with piracy, possession of gambling records and promoting gambling.
Detectives from the prosecutor's office executed a search warrant at the store, located in the 1200 block of Springfield Avenue, seizing scores of music CDs they say were copied on an office computer then sold for $5 apiece.
The monthlong investigation was done with the Motion Picture Association of America, which confirmed that the CDs were counterfeit, said Paul Loriquet, a spokesman for Essex County Prosecutor Paula Dow.
Detectives also discovered illegal Dominican lottery slips and tally slips inside the store and in its basement, where people would go to place bets, Loriquet said.
Authorities estimated that thousands of dollars were exchanged there each day, from the seized betting slips and tally sheets. Police recovered more than $1,000 in cash.
Also arrested were Jean Louis, 34, of Irvington, who worked at the store; and Jose Rodriguez, 34, of Haverstraw, N.Y.
Rodriguez, who is Dominican, is classified as a deported illegal alien, which prompted authorities to notify U.S. Customs and Border Protection of his status.
Attempts to reach all three men were unsuccessful, and a phone message left at the Springfield Avenue store was not returned.

Has anyone here used TrueLine bullets before? I am specifically looking at the 200 grain SWC in 45. I have a local supply for 45 200gr SWC but I found an online source for these that is cheaper. These are going to be for plinking and target practice, but they are not for formal target shooting. thanks.

Collaboration can happen anywhere—including, and oftentimes, outside of corporate walls or the standard conference room. At Esna, we're all about promoting the message that collaborative working strategies are applicable and advantageous for every industry or vertical and across all teams, no matter how unique or "out there" it may seem. That's why when we stumbled upon a new report from Forbes, we couldn't help but dig deeper.
The scene: a late night band rehearsal session. The vibe: growing increasingly tense. Alan Schaefer, lead songwriter for the band Five Star Iris, noticed that tonight's rehearsal was nothing like the last session the the band had. After the band's bassist commented that he wasn't feeling it, Schaefer thought, "That's frustrating…we were high-fiving leaving rehearsal last time."
That experience stuck with Schaefer throughout his career, even when he transitioned from being a front man to a business leader. What this article from Forbes proves is that unconventional experiences—for example, those shared by a rock band—serve as stellar examples of teamwork at the business level.
Here are our favorite takeaways from Schaefer's unique tale:
Your team members need to be heard
It's difficult to sit and listen to every single team member to see how he or she feels about a new technological investment or an existing one. But you need to take the time to do so. When Five Star Iris bassist said he wasn't feeling their tune anymore, Schaefer admitted that his first reaction was to tell the band member to just deal with it. Thankfully he didn't dismiss the comment; rather, he discovered "something really amazing" after giving the band member a voice. As it turns out, the bassist was responding to a change in the drum kick pattern. The band was able to change the bass part of the song to the bassist's liking and the issue was easily resolved—all by giving someone a platform to be heard.
Avoid ego issues
This point leads us to another noteworthy lesson when it comes to enterprise collaboration: Egos need to be checked at the door. Admittedly, there can be ego issues among executives or business leaders similar to those experienced by the lead singer of a rock band. For this, Forbes taps into teamwork coach Michael Stratford, who believes that engagement is key to keep inclusiveness and equality front and center. Make it clear that a high and mighty attitude won't be tolerated.
Every team member plays an irreplaceable role
Every member of a band plays a unique role. It's why things fall apart when the lead singer drops out or when the band gets in a huge fight. There's no way that the bassist can hop on the drums; even if he could, he wouldn't be able to fulfill the role as completely as the former drummer. Just as there is a unique individuality that each band member brings to the stage that makes the crowd go wild, there's a uniqueness the employees within each department of your business possesses to keep your customers life-long ones. Don't ever forget that they will be harder to replace than you think.

Syracuse, NY -- A judge in Onondaga County Family Court handed down a guilty verdict to a 16-year-old charged with manslaughter in the beating death of a 51-year-old man.
Family Court Judge Michael Hanuszczak said during today's court proceedings that he found the prosecution's witnesses at trial to be "extremely credible and reliable."
He found that the Onondaga County Attorney's Office had proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt, he said. Chief Deputy County Attorney Joanna Gozzi said her office believes this was "an appropriate outcome."
The boy's defense attorney, Jimmy Meggesto, said he was "extremely disappointed" with the decision.
Hanuszczak found the 16-year-old, who was 15 at the time of his arrest, guilty of second-degree manslaughter and making an apparent sworn false statement to police.
The 16-year-old was arrested with a 13-year-old boy at the end of May. The 13-year-old pleaded guilty to second-degree assault last week and admitted to the judge that he had been playing a street game known as "knockout."
Michael Daniels, a 51-year-old man standing alone on the corner of West Brighton Avenue and Cannon Street, had been the target.
The 16-year-old was found guilty today of following up on the 13-year-old's actions, and delivering the fatal blow that caused bleeding in Daniels' brain.
An adult charged with second-degree manslaughter could face a minimum of 1 to 3 years in prison and a maximum of 5 to 15 . In Family Court, the judge can place the teenager for 18 months in a detention facility and extend the sentence annually until the child is 18, or with the youth's consent, until age 21.
Meggesto said he and the 16-year-old's family still believe in the teenager's innocence.
Witnesses reported the presence of at least seven teenagers gathered around the scene of the crime on the night of the May 23 attack.
Meggesto said at trial that one of the County Attorney's juvenile witnesses--the only to identify his client as Daniels' second attacker--had lied to protect his own group of friends.
Meggesto said he will consider whether or not to file an appeal after the judge sentences the boy on Aug. 21.
"We can't file until the case is finished," he said. "But I respectfully, strongly, disagree with the judge's decision."

Mentor: Kevin Rice, PhD
Year Entered Into Program: 2008-2013
PhD Institution: University of Iowa, 2013
Cysteine-flanked, acridinylated peptides are currently being
synthesized for prospective use in non-viral gene delivery. Acridine is
installed on the side chain of lysine residues to promote intercalation between
DNA base pairs, and cysteine-flanking provides a polymerization feature to the
peptide via disulfide bonding, which should increase the affinity of the
overall polymer for DNA. The disulfide bonds also provide a reversible means of
attachment. Once inside the cell, the reductive environment should reduce the
disulfide bonding and, in turn, decrease the affinity of the polymer for DNA.
If polymerization is successful for these attachment peptides, one can envision
the use of cysteine-flanked components of a complete delivery vector being
reversibly polymerized and attached to DNA. While polydispersity may prove to
be an issue in this process, further studies will be conducted to sequentially
attach fragments via deprotection of cysteine with thiol-specific functional
groups and subsequent disulfide linkage. This will most likely be accomplished
in solid-phase beginning with one terminal peptide of the prospective polymer
covalently attached to resin.

Local drummer Adam Chippewa, 19, is throwing his sticks in a contest to become a member of Queen Extravaganza.
Chippewa auditioned by videotaping himself drumming along with a specially made version of "Killer Queen" for the online contest, which is being organized by Queen drummer Roger Taylor.
The contest allows vocalists, guitar players, keyboard players and drummers a chance to show how well they can play one of four of the classic rock band's songs. The winner will become a paid member of the Queen Extravaganza band, which will go on a three-month tour of North America next year.
Contestants can submit auditions through Nov. 7. An online voting process will take place from Nov. 14 through Nov. 30 to determine 10 finalists, who will then compete live in front a panel of judges in December.
Chippewa, a Concord native, is currently a Jackson Community College music student. He is a member of local bands Burn the Ships and the John Patrick Peters Band.

Restored, Saved, Lost, Threatened
By Elizabeth McNamara | From Preservation | November/December 2009
Ennis House Built at the base of Los Angeles' Santa Monica Mountains in 1924, Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House was severely damaged in the 1994 Northridge quake, and added to the National Trust's 2005 list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Now, after an approximately $6.5 million stabilization and restoration effort led by the Ennis House Foundation, the Mayan-inspired house is for sale for $15 million. At 6,000 square feet, it is the largest of Wright's four textile-block homes and features the last intact Wright-designed, glass-tile mosaic fireplace. The building still needs an estimated $5 million to $7 million in restoration.
Eustis Street Firehouse Built in 1859 by local architect John Roulestone Hall, this Italianate structure is the oldest firehouse in Boston. Used by the Roxbury Fire Department until 1922, it changed hands several times before it was abandoned in the early 1960s and fell into disrepair. The nonprofit preservation organization Historic Boston plans to restore the brick, granite, and wood firehouse and use the space as its headquarters. Construction will begin next April, and the group plans to move in late next year.
Old City Hall Vacant since 1999, the National Historic Landmark courthouse located blocks from the U.S. Capitol reopened last spring as the new home of the D.C. Court of Appeals. Preservation and design firm Beyer Blinder Belle oversaw the four-year $100 million restoration and expansion of the building, designed by George Hadfield in 1820. Workers restored marble and terrazzo flooring, wainscoting, and the decorative plasterwork long hidden above drop ceilings.
Cornish Memorial AME Zion Church Former slave Sandy Cornish organized the building of this American Gothic church in 1865 as a home for the first black congregation in Key West, Fla. After nearly 150 years, the city appropriated $417,000 for a multiphase renovation project to repair rotten trusses, replace the tin roof, and repaint the clapboard structure. The first phase concluded in June with the restoration of the facade and interior. A second phase, including renovation of the sides, back, and roof, should be completed this fall.
Ross Cemetery A 167-year-old Cherokee burial ground in Park Hill, Okla., is undergoing restoration. The first phase of the project, which cost $60,000, included building a new concrete foundation for the raised burial area, reconstructing the surrounding limestone walls and columns, and straightening and repainting a wrought-iron fence. A second phase costing $120,000 will focus on improving the surrounding area, which already includes Trail of Tears medallions and a granite memorial to the first president of the Cherokee Nation, Chief John Ross. The cemetery is listed on the National Register.
La Ronda This sprawling Mediterranean Revival estate near Bryn Mawr, Pa., stood as a rare example of architect Addison Mizner's work in the Northeast. Earlier this year, the 51-room mansion, dating to 1929, sold for $6 million to a buyer who applied for a demolition permit, then authorized the stripping of the historic mansion. Mizner's grand villa was demolished in October.
Riverview High School With its clean, horizontal planes, exposed steel frame, and generous glazing, Florida's Riverview High School exemplified Modernist architect Paul Rudolph's early Sarasota style. The building was completed in 1958 but underwent drastic alterations in ensuing years, compromising Rudolph's vision and the school's bold form. Vocal opposition from architecture and design communities notwithstanding, Sarasota's school board voted 3-2 in June to raze the structure for a parking lot. The building was demolished over the summer.
Worcester State Hospital Local architect Ward P. Delano designed this 1874 hospital in Worcester, Mass., inspired by Dr. Thomas Story Kirkbride's theory that first-class facilities would aid in the treatment of the mentally ill. The Victorian Gothic asylum was damaged by fire in 1991, and much of the structure was razed last year to make room for a new state psychiatric complex. The clock tower and administration building (shown above) still stand, but despite their location in a National Register-listed district, both are threatened by neglect. Preservationists hope to save the tower by selling it to an interested buyer.

The dump truck driver had the green light on Route 22, Warren County Prosecutor Richard Burke said late this morning.
Burke did not identify either driver.
The truck from Harmony Sand and Gravel broadsided the Honda Pilot, which was crossing the highway from Greenwich Street. The driver of the Honda was dead inside the vehicle. The driver of the dump truck did not appear to be severely injured.
The dump truck, which had a tarp over the back, was hauling sand and gravel, Burke said.
An accident reconstruction team arrived about 5:45. One lane remained closed much of the morning on Route 22 East.
A person who answered the phone about 7:45 at Harmony Sand and Gravel in Harmony Township said he had heard about the crash but had yet to hear from the driver. Pohatcong police were not immediately available to provide more information on the crash.

"Today's announcement represents a failure of leadership from Republicans in state government. Expanding Medicaid in Michigan is a smart, cost-saving investment that should have been approved long before today's deadline," Kildee, D-Flint Township, said in a written statement. "The vast majority of Michiganders support expanding Medicaid coverage, yet Senate Republicans have chosen extreme partisan ideology over common sense."
The Republican-led state Senate's adjournment could affect a plan that eventually might have expanded the government health insurance program to an estimated 470,000 additional state residents.
"It's shameful that Senate Republicans seem more concerned about taking a vacation rather than getting the work done they were elected to do. Gov. Rick Snyder and the Michigan Legislature have a responsibility to lead," Kildee said in the statement. "Failing to do so – which Republicans have decided to do – ultimately hurts Michiganders."

ROMANCING THE STONE Remake Will Be A TV SeriesBack in 2008, there was a plan to remake ROMANCING THE STONE, the 1984 romantic comedy starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito and 20th Century Fox has hired Scribe Daniel McDermott (Eagle Eye) to write the script. Well, plans changed. It's not a movie remake anymore.. Deadline reported that this new take will go straight to TV, specifically NBC which has bought a TV series adaptation of the Robert Zemeckis-directed film. Shawn Levy (Night Of The Museum movies) produces and potentially will direct the pilot episode, scripted by Mark Friedman.. ROMANCING THE STONE centers on the character Joan Wilder, a mousy romance novelist, receives a treasure map in the mail from her recently murdered brother-in-law. Meanwhile, her sister Elaine is kidnapped in Colombia and the two criminals responsible demand that she travel to Colombia to exchange the map for her sister. Joan does, and quickly becomes lost in the jungle after being waylayed by Zolo, a vicious and corrupt Colombian cop who will stop at nothing to obtain the map. There, she meets an irreverent soldier-of-fortune named Jack Colton who agrees to bring her back to civilization. Together, they embark upon an adventure that could be straight out of Joan's novels.

County needs an off-road vehicle park
In King County there is not one off-road vehicle park. I think the county should put an O.R.V. park toward Stossel Creek Road. There's so much land and it would be perfect for riders. More motorcycles are registered in King County than in any other county. I think the county should have built an O.R.V. park a long time ago.

FAIRMONT - Fairmont Area head coach Scott Kuhl's Cardinal girls hockey team could adopt the moniker of Road Warriors after taking a glance at the early stages of its 2012-13 schedule.
"Our first five games of the season are on the road, so we won't be home until Dec. 6," Kuhl said in reference to the Cardinals' long-awaited home-opener against Marshall at Martin County Arena in Fairmont.
The Cardinals get the bus wheels rolling tonight by traveling to Albert Lea for a 7:30 p.m. nonconference season-opener before hitting the road to Marshall on Thursday; Luverne on Tuesday, Nov. 27; Waseca on Thursday, Nov. 29; and New Ulm on Tuesday, Dec. 4.

ICY RETURN — Members of the Fairmont Area Cardinal girls hockey team opening the season against the Albert Lea Tigers at 7:30 p.m. tonight at Albert Lea City Arena include, front row (l-r): Miranda O'Connor and Sadie Sandersfeld. Middle row: Brooklyn Healey, Jordyn Junkermeier, Alyssa Fetters, Kelsy Junkermeier, Taylor Nuss, Myah Lytle, Brooke Lemon, Jalyssa Wilson and Abby Rahm. Back row: Assistant coach John Korsmo, Jenna Klages, Lauren Carlson, Logyn Cone, Tieryn Arens, Erin Rahm, Katie Hohensee, assistant coach Casey Kester, Cori Emler and head coach Scott Kuhl. Photo by Leanna Becker
"We'll use our season-opener as a measuring stick of where we're at, and then take it from there," said Kuhl.
Ironically, Kuhl's 18-player Road Warrior roster will be comprised of 15 skaters who are not even old enough to apply for a driver's license.
"We are extremely young again, but talented, too. We have a lot more depth than in past years, and have most of our scoring coming back from last season," said Kuhl, whose program's youth movement produced a 9-14 overall record, including a Section 3 quarterfinal victory over Worthington, during 2011-12. "We're a year older, so one of our goals is to be more competitive in the section and close the gap between us and the top."
Freshman forward Jalyssa Wilson, freshman forward Brooke Lemon and senior forward Abby Rahm will comprise Fairmont Area's first line in tonight's opener after the trio proved driving forces behind the Cardinals' 80-goal campaign a year ago.
Wilson topped the red-and-white goal-scoring performance with 19 to complement 10 assists, while Lemon - the 2011-12 team MVP - paced the Cardinals with 16 assists to go with a third-best 10 goals. Abby Rahm distributed the team's No. 2 total in helpers (13) to complement six goals.
Sophomore goaltender Miranda O'Connor returns between the pipes after recording 368 saves, including a game-high 42 against Section 3 champion New Ulm, to spearhead the defense.
Freshman Tieryn Arens, who generated a second-best team total of 15 goals to go with four assists last season, and freshman Logyn Cone will round out the Cardinals' starting defense tonight. Cone generated seven assists and three goals last season.
Eighth-grader Taylor Nuss, freshman Kelsy Junkermeier and eighth-grader Myah Lytle will represent the second line's forwards, with sophomore Jenna Klages and eighth-grader Lauren Carlson filling the defender positions.
Kelsy Junkermeier tallied seven assists and one goal during 2011-12, while Klages chipped in seven assists and three goals.
"Our overall team speed and a new thing known as 'depth' will be our strengths this season, in addition to having the bulk of our scoring back," said Kuhl. "The development of our young players' overall skills and finding systems that fit our age group are a couple of things that we're working on."
Eighth-grader Sadie Sandersfeld will be the Cardinals' backup goalie; while freshman forwards Erin Rahm (five goals and three assists), Jordyn Junkermeier (one goal and four assists), Brooklyn Healey (five goals and six assists) and Katie Hohensee (three assists and one goal); eighth-grade forward Cori Emler; and seventh-grade forward Alyssa Fetters complete the roster.
"Overall, I'm encouraged by what we've got on the ice now, and the potential of our players in the future," said Kuhl.
John Korsmo and Casey Kester return as assistant coaches for the Cardinals.

The sound of the Orient
Melissa Lin, 13, holds a black belt in tae kwon do, but she is gracefully precise as a musician.
When Lin plays the guzheng, an ancient Chinese instrument, she loses herself in the music barely aware of her surroundings as she plucks the strings with picks taped to her fingers. The guzheng, or zither, features 21 strings resting on bridges over a long trapezoid-shaped wood box balanced on two pedestals.
Lins older sister, Annie, 17, also has a black belt; and together, the sisters performed in the Chinese Arts & Music Associations (CAMA) 23rd annual concert, A Touch of the Orient, last Sunday at the University of Washingtons Meany Hall.
The sisters joined CAMA four years ago after their mother, Mei Jui Lin, enrolled them in private music lessons: Melissa on guzheng, drums and pipa, or Chinese guitar, and Annie on yangqin similar to a hammered dulcimer and erhu, a two-stringed bowed instrument with a snake-skin resonator, the Chinese version of the violin.
They started Chinese music because they were in tae kwon do, said Mei Jui Lin. She saw that both girls could fight well and therefore needed a more feminine pursuit in this case, music.
CAMA, founded in 1984 by world erhu champion Warren Chang, is comprised of the Seattle Chinese Orchestra, Washington Chinese Youth Orchestra, U.S. China Music Ensemble and the Northwest Chinese Gu-Zheng Orchestra, with more than 50 musicians ranging in age from 3 to over 70.
Mathida Ngamsiripol, a first-grader at Lakeridge Elementary School on Mercer Island, is one of the younger members. She plays the Chinese drum and the yangqin, and she made her debut performance at the concert on June 22.
Ngamsiripols mother, Wendy Chan, has played the pipa and guzheng with CAMA for four years. Chan is an acupuncture doctor at the Alternative Medicine & Acupuncture Center in Bellevue.
To prepare for their performances, CAMA musicians rehearse together for four hours every week. In addition to rehearsals and group lessons, time must be set aside for individual instruction and practice.
The Lin sisters spend two hours per week in private lessons, and Melissa practices up to four hours on her own.
Practice is often hard, posing such challenges as getting songs memorized and keeping up with our classmates, said Melissa Lin.
And having the same [rhythm] as everybody else, Annie Lin added. They do not use a metronome for keeping the time; they simply count.
Next fall, Melissa will enter Mercer Island High School, and Annie will begin her senior year. The girls will remain busy with music this summer, and Melissa hopes to take up golf and tennis. Annie draws, paints and creates graphic art in her spare time. They are also planning to visit Taiwan through a cultural music exchange program.
The Lins, Chan and Ngamsiripol will play at CAMAs next concert on July 17 at the Seattle City Hall.

Teenager arrested for attack on Call of Duty servers
A British teenager has been arrested after he was found to be using malicious software to launch a denial of service attack on Call of Duty servers.
The attack is believed to have been carried out by the 17-year-old from Manchester in order to help him boost his XP in the online modes of Call of Duty: Black Ops.
The teen gamer was arrested under the Computers Misuse Act after being tracked by police using his IP.
One detective, Paul Hoare said to the BBC: "Online gaming is a major retail sector with millions of titles being sold in the run-up to Christmas worldwide. Programs marketed in order to disrupt the online infrastructure not only affect individual players but have commercial and reputational consequences for the companies concerned."

Kay Rehor won $5,400 on a slot machine during her group's visit to the casino. The soft-spoken Rehor waited until she was on the bus back to the Gardens at Westlake to tell her fellow residents.
When the group's activity director asked if anybody had won any money, Rehor announced her winnings and waved a check in the air for everybody on the bus to see.
Rehor said she played slot machines on the casino's first floor and had little success so she then moved on to the slot machines on the second floor.
The first machine she played turned out to be the winning machine for her as the flashing lights went on and she was informed what she won.
When asked if she had decided to do anything special with the money Rehor said she really had not given it any thought. She said she did on returning to the casino with her son the following weekend.

Disgraced jockey Danny Nikolic admits to lying during a sensational day of evidence at VCAT
- From: Herald Sun
- November 29, 2012
Jockey Danny Nikolic on Wednesday changed his evidence and now admits calling Racing Victoria chief steward Terry Bailey "a c***".
Nikolic went to the tribunal in a bid to overturn a two-year ban after being found guilty by the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board on two counts of misconduct.
Nikolic was banned for allegedly threatening chief steward Terry Bailey.
"We've all got families, c---. And we know where yours live, c---'," Nikolic is alleged to have said.
Nikolic denied making the threat but admitted to calling Bailey a "f------ grub" and a "c---", abuse he had vehemently denied in earlier hearings.
"I beg to differ about the outrageous statement that I had used a four-letter word starting with 'c'," Nikolic had told the board in September.
But Nikolic was forced to admit using the word and calling Bailey a "f------ grub".
"I am a person that cleaned up my language for the RAD Board," Nikolic said.
The winner of more than 40 Group 1 races said he had abused Bailey after claiming the steward threatened to end his career.
Bailey denies making the threat and Nikolic's admission of false evidence was seized upon by Racing Victoria's legal team, which labelled the troubled jockey a liar.
"You are a liar when you think it will suit your cause," said Philip Dunn, QC.
"You will lie maliciously. You will blame other people ... to explain your petulant and childish comments, you are prepared to say the chief steward is a liar."
Earlier, Nikolic said he was the subject of rumours about allegedly fixed races and had been linked to the murder of his former father-in-law, Les Samba.
"I was getting everything second and third-hand. That's what I was upset about," he said.
He said other jockeys and trainers had told him they were being interviewed about races in Caulfield, Kyneton and Bendigo, along with his infamous ride on Smoking Aces in Cranbourne.
"I know there are police listening to my phones," Nikolic said.
He also said he had struggled to maintain a low weight and had become bulimic in a bid to shed kilos.
"I'm bulimic when I race ride," he said.
Mr Dunn will resume questioning Nikolic on Thursday.
