'Flight,' Denzel Washington grounded by movie's lack of human touch
"Flight" never soars, despite the often persuasive best efforts of Denzel Washington.
Even the title is misleading. It suggests that the devastating plane crash that opens the film will lead us along a flight path that looks at its causes or consequences. That it will turn into a legal thriller, or a sprawling tale about the lives of those on board. »Read Full Article(1)
Leonard Cohen reverent - and remarkable - at Milwaukee Theatre show
Leonard Cohen was on his knees - sometimes one, sometimes the other, sometimes both - quite often during his performance at the Milwaukee Theatre Friday night.
This wasn't because, as he pointed out early on, he hadn't played a live show in Milwaukee for 38 years. Nor was it because he's 78 and probably doesn't care to stand any longer than he must. »Read Full Article(23)

Avalon Theatre looks to future with auction of vintage gear
Bay View residents may be having dinner and a movie flanked by gaudy vaudeville architecture and twinkling lights on the ceiling of the historic Avalon Theatre by Thanksgiving, said Lee Barczak, the Avalon's owner, at a news conference Friday.
An online auction of vintage theater items this week, including a wall-sized hand-painted Spanish mural and original seating from the theater's vaudeville days, is paving the way for $2 million in renovations, Barczak said. The renovations will transform the space, which at one time had a seating permit for up to 2,300 people, into two modern theaters with 240 and 80 seats, respectively, and in-theater dinner and bar service, while leaving vaudevillian facades of the original Avalon intact. Renovations could start in a month and a half after bids are finalized and awarded. A rendering could be ready in two months. »Read Full Article(8)
Off the Wall can't shatter clunky finale of 'Man in the Glass Booth'
Given the chance, would Jews behave like Nazis?
That's the question on the table at Off the Wall Theatre, where Dale Gutzman is directing and starring in Robert Shaw's "The Man in the Glass Booth," a contrived hothouse of a play that comes across better than it deserves, thanks to a titanic performance from Gutzman himself. »Read Full Article
'Hope Against Hope' explores education in New Orleans
New Orleans did not volunteer to become a laboratory for experiments in revitalizing public school education. But the widespread destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 led to a series of actions that have almost completely altered the city's schools.
The Louisiana Legislature placed many New Orleans schools, already underperforming and troubled, in the state-run Recovery School District. Most are now charter schools. »Read Full Article

A few thoughts on "Envisioning the Seen"
I continue to be embroiled in discussions, in the newsroom, via email and out in the community, with people who want to talk about "Envisioning the Seen," the experiment in civic dialogue that took place Monday evening at the Pabst Theater.
It's a sign, I think, that the event, despite its flaws, is novel, gutsy and full of promise. For a lot of reasons, I decided not to write about it earlier this week, mostly because I'd be repeating myself. This event was so like the ones that came before. But I might as well commit to words what I've been saying and emailing privately. »Read Full Blog Post(8)

Here's one diploma that won't be going up on the wall.
Graduates from Radford University in Virginia say their spring 2013 diplomas contain not one, but two misspellings, Roanoke TV station Roanoke TV station WDBJ reported.
In one, the word "Virginia" is missing an "I," turning it into "Virgina."
The word "thereto" is also missing an "E."
Radford University has apologized for the errors, and told WDBJ a software update is to blame.
Corrected diplomas are in the works.

Angels Opening Day Checklist: Don't Leave Home Without…
The Angels Opening Day is finally here and I can barely contain my own excitement! In just a few…well…in just a few too many hours for my taste, I'll be at the game. Still, hours. We're down to hours! Isn't that exciting? However, it is important to remember that attending Opening Day, or any other ballgame for that matter, is much like any other festive, celebratory occasion: in your excitement it's all too easy to forget the darndest of things. But, with a little thought and preparation you can avoid any potentially disastrous forgetfulness and ensure your complete ballgame enjoyment.
Submitted for your entertainment, here is my helpful Angels Opening Day checklist. Did you remember to bring:
1. Tickets!
Because you can't get into the ballpark without tickets, right? Yeah, I know. Ticketmaster, Stubhub and the like all have numbers you can call in a pinch in you lose your tickets. But, as someone who once had their Nine Inch Nails ticket swiped in the ladies room in between the Queens of the Stone Age set and the main event, I can tell you that as fast as they really do try to rectify these situations and get you back in your seat, standing in customer service with the feeling that you're missing the first song, first pitch, etc. is not fun. Yeah. These babies went into my purse seconds after I snapped the photo. I recommend confirming possession of said tickets before you start the car to head for the stadium.
2. Cash…probably kind of a lot, actually.
This is one of those not so fun parts of the game. But 'buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks' is an indelible part of Take Me Out to the Ballgame, after all. Not to mention the hot dogs. The tasty, tasty, overpriced beverages. The parking… Need I go on? And I don't know about other ballparks, but paying with a credit card or ATM always seems to take three times as long, so cash is king.
3. Ball Caps
They protect your face from the sun and when the sun goes down, they protect your head from the cold. They shade your eyes from the glare – all the better to see the game with, my dears. They proclaim your team pride across the stadium in even the largest of crowds. Don't leave home without them.
4. Fan appropriate attire
Okay, maybe this isn't exactly difficult to remember if you leave for the game from your home, wearing it all already. But, like so many of us, I am forever dashing off to the game after work, so Day to Night Barbie's got nothin' on me. (The reference came from a coworker actually. I left the conference room we were working in wearing a business suit and returned in jeans and an Angels jersey to collect my computer and go. 'What are you?' she laughed. 'Day to Night Barbie?') And until I figure out that Wonder Woman 'spin and spin and spin until *poof* your outfit completely changes including perfectly coordinated shoes, jewelry and makeup' maneuver, I'm going to add 'remember every piece of your fan appropriate attire' to the list. Because forgetting my sneakers and going to the ballpark in jeans, jersey and 3.5 inch heels was not exactly my finest moment.
5. Camera
Because if you want to capture some of those great game memories permanently, whether on the field or of yourselves in the stands, you're going to need a camera. Now, you will note that my case contains considerably more than just the camera – two extra batteries, two extra memory cards and various charging accoutrements, to be precise. What can I say? I've been married to an Eagle Scout for going on 13 years and that always be prepared thing? It's so not just a slogan and, after a few years and numerous demonstrations of it's usefulness as a philosophy, it rubs off on a person. Running out the battery during a game sucks. So does finding out that the card is full of of pics from a friend's wedding that you can't erase yet…or that you left it in the computer. *whistles* So, if you like to take more than just a few random photos, I suggest embracing your inner Eagle Scout – provided the real deal isn't handy.😉
6+. The backpack o' many things…
…o' many things, including:
1. One jacket for each party in colors that either coordinate with your team or, at the very least, do not coorninate with the colors of the opposing team (unless you have the same colors).
2. A few snacks that don't require as much of the aforementioned cash. In our case, this is typically a bag of salt and pepper pistachios.
3. Team swag of the useful variety – blankets, warm hats and the like.
4. Team swag of the rally variety. Oh yes, there will be Angels Luchador masks! Regardless of what security says when you enter, they have yet to take them away from us in a moment of rally necessity.
5. Ponchos. Yes, ponchos. Remember what I said about the Eagle Scout thing? Cheap Target ponchos weigh nothing, fit easily in one pocket of the pack and will become your favorite thing in the entire world if one of those infamous April showers catches you in the stands.
And there you have it – check, check and double check – the Opening Day checklist. One additional thing that would be on my list if I could guarantee that my ability to check it off would be anything better than shakey? Managing to calm my excitement enough to get actual work done this morning and afternoon because I have a metric f-ton of work to do before the game. (It's roughly 204 pounds larger than your standard imperial f-ton, don't cha know?) Oh well. I'm going to run and try to make more progress on that last one and then, Play Ball!

Something I'd like to add, and this is by no means directed towards present company: spatial awareness.
Consider the concourse you are using. It is only so wide and, chances are, people are walking in both directions. It is not clever of you and your group to congregate in the middle of the walkway, creating an insurmountable bottleneck. Find a low-traffic area off to the side to hold your ad hoc meetings. As well, while walking, if the concourse happens to be four people wide, that does not mean your group of four should walk in phalanx formation. Somebody may be interested in going somewhere else or getting there at a different pace. Finally, sudden changes in direction could cause physical bodily harm in the more crowded thoroughfares. If you missed your turnoff, look around you and make the safest reroute you can or risk the effects of inertia.
If you're in the aisle, heading up/down to your seats, recognize the sight lines in your section and consider those "upstream." Bases loaded with the count full is never a good time to stand idly, scrutinizing your ticket as though a hidden detail will help you finally find your seats. It's Ticketmaster, not the DaVinci code. As our beloved blogger pointed out above, you'll be arriving to the game with your tickets or, at the very least, picking them up at will call. You have plenty of time, especially in a major league stadium, to study for the pop quiz.
Once you reach your seats, recognize that there is a structure to the game. After every three outs, there is a break in the action. This is an opportune time to get up, get another beer, and/or use the restroom. If you're in Row H, seat 8, especially, this is the most considerate time to get up, should you need to leave your seat. Do not wait until the middle of an at-bat to have the seven people to your left have to get up, block the people behind them, etc. [Exception, if you're less than eight years old]
Finally, there is no hall of fame for people who get booted out of games. Yes, the umpire sucks–it's his job. Yes, the opposing left fielder who hit 45 home runs, batted .330, and single-handedly carried his team through August sucks, which is why HE is getting paid to play the game while you just paid at least two hours salary on your ticket. The guy in the stand who missed the foul ball probably sucks as well because he didn't run over his pre-school daughter to catch an $8.00 souvenir. Know what really sucks? A lack of creativity in hecklers. Van Mil sucks? Boring, and if repeated often, may get you kicked out. Van Mil can't hit the strike zone because his release point is nigh-suborbital? That may get you a free beer (past performance are no guarantee of future results). Louder isn't better, four-letter bombs are unenlightened, and likes-to-fight guy hasn't been popular since Patrick Swayze did it in Roadhouse.
Sorry, eight games in and have been noticing a few patterns…
Oops. I was just meaning "bring spatial awareness." I'm sure you'll be far more eloquent and entertaining when you address fan behavior. I'm looking forward to it…though I have a feeling most of the bad examples involve a certain shade of blue…

Losing Face
The more things stay the same, the more they change.
Two consecutive World Series appearances. Three consecutive playoff appearances. Unparalleled success. Brought about by constant change.
The 2011 World Series Rangers were minus Vlad Guerrero, Bengie Molina, Tommy Hunter, Cliff Lee and Frank Francisco from the 2010 World Series Rangers.
The 2012 Wild Card Rangers didn't have Yorvit Torrealba, CJ Wilson, Endy Chavez, Colby Lewis (injury) and Neftali Feliz (injury) from the 2011 World Series squad.
And thus far, the 2013 Rangers are guaranteed to be without Mike Napoli and Koji Uehara from the 2012 Wild Card team.
Now comes word that there's a possibility they will also be without Michael Young. Strong rumors have Young going to the Phillies in exchange for a relief pitcher and a prospect provided he waives his 10-5 no trade rights to allow the move.
To Young fans, he has long been known as the Face of the Texas Rangers franchise. To his detractors, he is derisively nicknamed, alternately, "Face" and "Leadership".
Young had a 2012 not to remember, sinking to new lows in batting average, losing much of his extra base power. The SABR folks will tell you he had one of the worst WAR's in the last 22 years. On the other hand, to a man his teammates talk about the value of Young's leadership in the clubhouse. Manager Ron Washington says Young basically runs the clubhouse for the team.
From a pure statistics standpoint, losing Young might not hurt the club substantially. The question is, will that team cohesiveness remain the same if and when he's gone?
I'm ambivalent about the possibility of Young leaving. I get that his best years are behind him and that he's a defensive liability, while at the same time suspecting 2012 was the same kind of anomaly Derek Jeter had a couple years ago before coming back with a vengeance.
I also am not one to discount the idea of leadership in a clubhouse. A team, like a business, is composed of lots of disparate elements. Management provides the vision and department heads implement it. Beyond that, we all know work organizations that just seem to run smoother because of a worker bee who sets a tone that others just seem to follow. I'm willing to bet Michael Young is one of those people.
At this writing, there's no guarantee Josh Hamilton will return to the Rangers. The odds are against Mike Adams returning as well. Colby Lewis and Neftali Feliz won't be able to help until the back half of 2013 at best. If none of the Rangers free agents return AND Young is traded, the question becomes: Do the Rangers have the offensive horses to win WITHOUT Josh Hamilton, Mike Napoli and Michael Young, even if they manage to score Justin Upton from the Diamondbacks?
The past two seasons, Texas has succeeded largely because the parts they lost from the previous year were mostly complementary pieces, replaced by better alternatives (Adrian Beltre, Yu Darvish, Napoli, Adams, Uehara). In 2013, there are going to be key pieces replaced and only time will tell if those pieces are better, worse or about the same as those they replaced.
Diehard fan I might be, but I don't think Greinke and Upton would be enough to offset the loss of Hamilton, Young and Napoli. Two of the three, maybe. But not all three.

Based on the fact that after 2 days he still hasn't waived his no-trade clause I'm inclined to think that he is going to stay with the Rangers, even in a diminished capacity, and retire at the conclusion of next season. I am torn about this, because while his productivity has dropped, he is still one of my favorite Rangers ever. I also don't like the idea of paying 10 million for him to play somewhere else. And while he may not ever make Cooperstown I do think he will go into the Rangers HOF.

Offices, apartments proposed for Berlin siteBy David Delcore
Staff Writer | April 09,2013Stefan Hard / Staff Photo
Developers want to tear down this former restaurant in Berlin on the Barre-Montpelier Road and replace it with an office building, plus build a 54-unit apartment complex on the hillside in the background.BERLIN Owners of a six-lot subdivision that overlooks the Barre-Montpelier Road and is now home to an Autozone are hoping to redevelop one of the remaining parcels while constructing an apartment complex on another. Assuming the Fecteau family is able to obtain state and local permits, the vacant building that once housed Taco Bell and most recently Simply Subs II will be razed to make room for a 5,040-square-foot office building at the base of Overlook Drive, and a 54-unit apartment building will be constructed in two phases just up the hill.
Berlins Development Review Board is considering both applications, which were filed separately by different branches of the same family-owned business.
Fecteau Commercial Inc. has proposed replacing the vacant restaurant with a single-story office building, while Fecteau Residential Inc. is advancing plans for the four-story apartment complex. Both projects were the subject of recent hearings before the local board and will also require state land-use permits.
Traffic is expected to be a key consideration, given the proximity of the private drive that would serve both developments to the intersection of the Barre-Montpelier Road and the Berlin State Highway. The local board is waiting for input from the state Agency of Transportation before deciding whether to schedule additional hearings on either or both of the proposals.
Traffic was an issue in the permit process that paved the way for the construction of Autozone. The state required the elimination of the Barre-Montpelier Road curb cut that had served the building where Simply Subs II was doing business at the time. That drive was replaced with an entrance off Overlook Drive the private dead-end road that was constructed to serve the hillside subdivision. According to documents filed with the town, the office building would be leased to a single tenant, which is not named but is expected to employ up to 30 people.
The new building would be reoriented on the site, and though local regulations require only 21 parking spaces the plan is to create 40 spaces using land from a neighboring parcel in the subdivision.
According to the application, the additional parking is being created in part to accommodate some future use of a building. The available parking would be enough, materials suggest, for a retail establishment with 19 employees or a 120-seat restaurant.
Although Fecteau Commercial is proposing a surplus of parking for the office building at the base of Overlook Drive, Fecteau Residential is seeking a waiver of the towns parking requirement for the apartment complex planned up the hill. Based on the number of proposed units, the towns regulations call for 126 parking spaces, but the application contends that figure is excessive given contemplated lease restrictions that would limit the number of cars tenants could own. The complex would eventually include 38 two-bedroom units, 16 one-bedroom units and two studio apartments. The proposed restriction would essentially limit the number of cars tenants could park on site to the number of bedrooms in their apartment.
The parking plan presented by Fecteau Residential anticipates 102 spaces, including 10 spaces for visitors.
According to the application, the apartment complex would be built in two nearly identical phases. The lone exception is a common building that would eventually link two other structures that are essentially mirror images of each other.
The common building would include a ground-floor lobby and administrative offices and provide access to the stairway and elevators, while the upper three floors would house a mix of dining, exercise and recreational space for tenants.
The ground floor of the first of two structures that would contain the mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments 28 in all would include room for some indoor parking, as well as storage space. The apartments would be on the top three floors.
The plan contemplates eventually duplicating that structure on the opposite side of the common building.

Review: All-star cast can't fix 'Broken City'
Wahlberg vehicle typical cop drama retread
There's nothing in "Broken City" that we haven't seen before. It's a crime drama that could easily play on network television, except "Broken City" has upped the ante with an all-star cast that chews up the Hollywood scenery like folks in an old Bogart movie.
"Broken City" stars Mark Wahlberg as Billy Taggart, a no-holds-barred ex-New York City detective who gets his badge taken away when he shoots and kills a thug who, it ends up, he had some personal connections to. After he's let go from the force, he opens a private detective agency where he spies on adulterers, yet the people who hire him keep stiffing him on their payments due. When the mayor approaches Taggart with a personal job for a large amount of money, the gumshoe gets involved in something more complicated than he imagined.
Russell Crowe portrays New York Mayor Hostetler and Crowe digs into the charismatic politico with all his might. Problem is, it's hard to believe (and it's referenced more than a few times in the script) that Hostetler is a Queens, N.Y., boy. It's hard to believe for a minute that the character ever stepped foot in the borough let alone was born and bred there since Crowe has a hard time covering up his Aussieness.
Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Cathleen, the First Lady of New York, and it's a typical role for her. There's no stretch here for the 43-year-old as she sips champagne, is ushered in and out of chauffeured cars, and wears designer clothes that look like she brought her own wardrobe to the set. But Zeta-Jones just needs to look beautiful in the film and she does so with little effort.
The film belongs to Wahlberg and there's never an if, and, or but about it. Not only did he act in it, but he signed on to produce it as well. His puppy-dog character simmers underneath and some of the most dramatically tense moments are when Wahlberg brings Taggart to a boil. A particularly effective scene involves Taggart and his actress girlfriend, Natalie (Natalie Martinez). When he's invited to the premiere of an indie movie she's starred in, he expects a slightly suggestive sex scene as she's described it, but he begins to rage as he sits among the crowd only to see a provocative display of sex between his girlfriend and her on-screen partner.
Less believable is a plot line that involves Hostetler's opponent revealing his sexuality as a convoluted set up between a campaign manager and the mayor's wife. One of the few bright spots in this film, however, is newcomer Alona Tal (a regular on the short-lived 2007 TV drama "Cane," but whose bio isn't even in the "Broken City" production notes) who plays Taggart's wisecracking secretary, and is reminiscent of the "doll" sidekicks of nostalgic detective series.
"Broken City" is a movie with a thin plot that feels twice as long as its 109-minute running time. Fans can add this movie to their cache of films in which Wahlberg plays the underdog, but for the rest of us, "Broken City" is a tired retread.

And to All on MLBlogs, a Good Night!
I would like to wish a very Merry Christmas, the happiest of holidays and best wishes for the New Year to all of you out there in the blogosphere, readers and writers alike!
So, taking a glance around the blogs, it appears that writing a parody of The Night Before Christmas isn't exactly the most original idea I've ever had…as I probably should have suspected in community of writers, LOL. You all make me smile, a lot. Anyway, here are my lines to add to the chorus:
T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house,
Only Blithescribe was stirring with laptop and mouse.
The stockings were draped from the bookshelves with care,
Because we don't have a real chimney, so we hang them there.
In the armchair I nestled, snuggled with pillows and cats,
Perusing MLBlogs for new posts and great stats.
While my husband lay sleeping, on the couch by the tree,
Because really, hands down, he's much smarter than me.
When outside our house, there arose such a clatter,
That I ran to the door to see what was the matter.
And what did I see on our porch clear as day?
Would you believe it was Santa with reindeer and sleigh?
"Only seven reindeer, Santa? Is one of them late?
I could be mistaken, but I've read you use eight."
"Oh, that. Minor accident in Arkansas, you see.
He's still on my good list, but no presents for Cliff Lee!"
Shocked and surprised, I invited Santa inside.
"I thought you were a myth. Clearly somebody lied."
He smiled, "I get that a lot and, yet, I am here."
"So, cookies and milk? Or can I get you a beer?"
While I got the drinks, Santa skimmed through the blogs,
And my husband remained on the couch sawing logs.
"Hot Stove is insane this year," Santa said with a smirk.
"On Crawford, on Lee, on Soriano and Werth?
Seven years is too crazy for me to understand."
So Santa Claus is real and a big baseball fan!
After beer and bourbon, Santa's a right jolly old elf,
So I poured a glass of Maker's Mark for myself.
"Thank you," Santa said, "for the drinks and good rest.
This gets harder every time, I have to confess.
So little girl, what can Santa give you this year?"
That would have sounded dirty were it not meant with good cheer.
"Well you're a little late Santa" I said, quite bereft.
"I wanted bats for the Angels and Crawford in left."
"Carl Crawford, you say? Yeah, I'm sorry about him."
"Santa, say it ain't so! You gave Crawford to them."
Santa pulled up his sleeve with a sheepish little grin,
To reveal a B-shaped tattoo, right there on his skin.
"Dustin left us for baseball. I couldn't help myself.
North Polers stick together. I root for the elf"
That explains everything! Santa's a Red Sox fan.
Well they do have red stockings and cute toy sized stands.
"Okay, Angels season tickets would simply be heaven.
One pair? Home side field box? Say section 111?"
He had a broad face and a round little belly,
That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.
"That's hilarious Blithescribe," he laughed as he stood.
"Seriously, lady? You think you've been that good?"
Instead he gave me books. Fourteen all in a stack,
Two for each week 'til my birthday, just like in years back!
I giggled like a child and clapped my hands with glee.
Books were always the best present underneath the tree.
Then Santa had to leave, with more countries still to go,
I hugged him thank you, as he headed out our door.
And I heard him exclaim as he leapt from our porch,
Merry Christmas to all, only 51 days 'til pitchers and catchers report!

Bravo!!!!! Excellent Christmas poem. You didn't miss a thing. It even had a happy ending. Well done and Merry Christmas to you, Kristen!
Great piece of Christmas poetry.
Glad you shared that with us. And I agree 100 % with Jane, the ending was fantastic.
Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noel and Buon Natale to you too Kristen!
Rays Renegade
Perfect! That was so creative🙂
Merry Christmas, Kristen!
Thank you Jane, Rays Renegade and Westcoastgirl! I hope you had great holidays as well.
And the best part about that ending is that it just gets better and better with each passing day🙂

THREE CHEERS! Very impressive. What else can I say?
Going back to the halos trying to get Beltre. Man, I hope that they get him and I hope he's the player that played with the Sox last year. Not the Beltre in Seattle that people tend to recall. With that being said, if they can get him in that line-up then the Angels will be more in contention with the Rangers.
The Al West is wide open and usually is boasting only one team per year that is a runaway. This year, I hope the Angels and Rangers and even the A's can all make a run for it.
Christmas poem was awesome by the way.
Going back to a comment about the salary cap issue. I think that you could be right and that baseball can correct itself on the economics. You're also right on point about players leaving a lot of money on the table and going for less money in others places. The last time that I saw that was when Maddux declined the Yankees offer and picked the Braves in 1993. Worked out for us!
I hope that the players and owners start scaling down their greed. I would still like a salary cap to check everyone at the door though
Ron – Thanks!
Jeff – Thank you Mr. Sinatra! Or were you Dean Martin?🙂
Hot Tub Baseball Machine – Thank you for dropping by my blog and commenting, and for the compliment to my goofy poem. I think your assessment of the AL West is spot on. The Angels went largely unchallenged in the years they took the title and we certainly didn't pose much of a challenge to the Rangers this year, sigh. It will be really wild if the Angels can get something going in 2011 because it looks like the Rangers are still going to be a challenge – could be fun! I forgot about Maddux in '93. I do hope we're going to see more of that. It's a positive trend.
– Kristen

'The Invention of Wings' explores woman's push for abolition in 1800s
To write the lives of historical figures into an imagined narrative and to do it well — that is serve the expectations of good fiction and meet the responsibilities of historical truths — demands a particular kind of literary confidence and skill. In Sue Monk Kidd's latest novel, "The Invention of Wings" (Viking, $27.95), she accomplishes both, but doing so was a "daunting experience" for her and one driven by a "deep compulsion."
Kidd's fascinating historical novelis the story of two extraordinary women: the real 19th-century abolitionist and feminist Sarah Grimké, and a female slave, Handful, a character based on one of Grimké's real slaves. The story spans their lives and the lives of their families from 1803 to 1838. »Read Full Article

Off the Wall Theatre captures grit of 'Glengarry Glen Ross'
In the wrenching first scene of David Mamet's "Glengarry Glen Ross," an aging Shelly "The Machine" Levene is sitting in a nondescript Chinese restaurant with John Williamson, the young office manager of the Chicago real estate office where Shelly works as a salesman.
In the Off the Wall Theatre production of "Glengarry" that opened Thursday night, Michael Pocaro — who himself has logged some miles during his long acting career — conveys exactly what it means to be the onetime star reduced to a bit part as he begs the cocksure Williamson (Mark Neufang) for better work. »Read Full Article

Listening to Lou Reed: 'The Blue Mask'
On Fridays I'm posting my thoughts on Lou Reed's solo albums, one album at a time in chronological order of release.
With "The Blue Mask" (1982), Lou Reed presented himself both as revitalized -- playing with a new band and returning to the RCA label -- and settled down, married to Sylvia Morales (the second of what would be three marriages with women for someone who'd once been one of the more notorious gay men in America), clean and sober, writing about his wife and motorcycle. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Poets and musicians come together at Summit School showJeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Kenric Kite sings a poem by Newton Baker during a presentation of poems set to music Saturday at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier.
MONTPELIER At the start of Saturdays SummitSongs concert, poet Newton Baker had no idea what his poem Living on Deerfield Drive, a.k.a. Damn Deer Blues, was going to sound like in the hands of songwriter Kenric Kite.
I dont know, maybe it will be a bluegrass song, he said. I can kind of hear it that way.
The transcendent marriage of music and lyric is the holy grail for any songwriter. But Saturday students, friends and faculty of the Summit School of Traditional Music and Culture shook things up a bit in tandem with PoemCity, Montpeliers month-long downtown celebration of National Poetry Month.
As part of PoemCitys series of events at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library, willing poets were given the opportunity to have their work set to music composed by students and faculty at the Montpelier school.
The musicians rose to their challenges with intriguing results. Saturdays performance offered up a handful of hybrid songs that were surprising in their range of mood, and playful in their attempts to wrangle sometimes recalcitrant words into a melodic structure.
Along the way the audience was treated to more than a concert, but also an exploration and expiation on the nature of songwriting itself.
You dont always start with the same element, explained songwriter David Fink. Sometimes there is a melody that you have. At another time you might wake up to a lyric in your head. There are very few perfect songs. Joni Mitchells A Case of You, that still makes me cry when I listen to it. Thats a perfect song.
There was perfection at the SummitSongs concert in unlikely places. Ted Vogts evocative one-handed piano perfectly evoked the ebb and flow of water for Boathouse in Autumn Rain, one of several poems by Mary Elder Jacobson that were set to music.
One could almost smell the air and feel the trees bow in the breeze when Vogts music met the words: A muted pulse of rain sounds the metal roof, so softly dispels the sleepy stillness.
The later lines of the poem werent sung, but were spoken instead, sometimes against or before a simple line of music. If it didnt resemble anything you would hear on Top 40 radio, it did something more. It illuminated the words in a way that lifted it off the page.
Afterward Vogt characterized the process as both freeing and challenging. Wed been writing some different kinds of songs and it was freeing myself to write it.
There was a jazzy guitar accompaniment by Colin McCaffrey, who teaches songwriting at the school, to another of Jacobsons poems which evoked a speakeasy time.
And then, finally, it was time for Bakers Damn Deer Blues.
Songsmith Kenric Kite strapped on a Fender hollow-body, and let loose with a rollicking tune that most Vermonters can relate to at this time of year.
Bought a house on Deefield Drive
Quaint Vermont name where I reside
Didnt think much about it then
Went outside to rake my lawn
Found all of my crocus gone
Damn deer, been in my yard again.
By the time Kenric made it to the last four lines he and Newton Baker had the audience in the palms of their hands.
Sometimes I dream of deerskin gloves
And eating fresh cooked venison,
But cause I dont own a gun
Damn deer are back in my yard again.
Kenric said that it was challenging but that as soon as he read the poem he wanted to set it to music. He fudged in a few places, shifted a stanza or two, but in the end he was satisfied with the result.
Its more challenging to work with someone elses words. I took some creative license without altering it. I thought about Tom Lehrer as I was writing it.
As for Bakers opinon: I think it was just perfect, he said. And it was perfect timing. Last night I came home and the crocuses were all in bloom. This morning they were gone.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

Artemisia are prized for their aromatic silver leaves, excellent texture and vigorous growth. This perennial does not flower conspicuously, but are used for their contrasting foliage. Also excellent in flower arrangements.
Fast growing. Can be cut back in spring to control size. Do not cut into old wood - look for buds to start and do not cut below that. Can be sheared during the summer if needed - new foliage will flush out quickly.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

How Far is it Between
This tool can be used to find the distance between two named points on a map. You can decide which two points to measure and then find out the distance between them as the crow flies and distance when driving. Type in the names of the places below and click the Show button.
Map Showing the Distance Between Two Points
How to Use
Simply type in the name of the two places in the text boxes and click the show button!
The best format to use is [City, Country] to enter a location - that is [City(comma)(space)Country]. You can also type in major places straight in such as "USA", "Tokyo", "London" etc. Postcodes and addresses can also be used.
When you click the search button, a search will be made to find which place you are referring to. Firstly, a search is made of an internal list of common places. If no match is found then a search will be made using the Google Maps API GlocalSearch feature. If this also returns no results then you are asked to indicate the location of the point by clicking on the map. This allows you to then see the distance between the two points and also inputs the location into the internal database so that the next time a visitor searches for that location, it will be found.
Once a result is returned, you can copy a URL to use as a permanent link back to the result for your own reference or to pass on to other people.
Note : For ZIP Codes, use Distance Between ZIP Codes, For UK Postcodes, use the UK Postcode distance tool. Also, to find the distance between points that are not named, you can use the Measure Distance tool.
About How Far is it Between
This tool can be used to find the distance between countries, cities or towns.
There are two distances output:
- As the Crow Flies - The direct distance between points
- Distance by land transport (When possible) - Distance estimate when you travel by road and sea.
The distances can be output in the following units:
- km (kilometers)
- miles
The output is via a measurement of the distance and also a map that shows that two locations and the path between them as the crow flies and the route by land transport.
You can use the controls on the map to:
- Pan the map
- Zoom the Map
- Switch between Map and Satellite views
Some Examples of Distances
Some of the distances between cities that can be found using the system. Click on one to see it or type in your own places above in the text boxes.

These calculations aren't even close. I
put in my current address in NC to my old address in NJ and it's off by about 200 miles. I've made the trip many times.

Superb! I use it everyday as I am into recruitment
By TheViper on 29th August 2016
Issues with both measurements:
Just tried All Saints Episcopal School, Fort Worth, Tx to Bridlewood Golf Club, Flower Mound, Tx and got 52 miles as the crow flies and 72 miles by road. Unfortunately, the road route was not optimal and the Google maps distance by road is 40.8 miles. I enjoy using this site for this purpose as I use this often to determine if a player lives within a 50 mile radius of Fort Worth.

I used the straight line distance on one day and it gave me a calculation then when I used it another day it gave me another calculation....Why is that?

Vampires and other movie monsters have always been a popular theme for screenwriters, but recently the vampire and werewolf craze has been reborn.
That rebirth is due in large part to the smashing success of the "Twilight" novels by Stephanie Meyer and the subsequent films. However, long before Robert Pattinson proved how truly sexy the undead could be, many other actors portrayed this favorite blood-sucking monster for the big screen.
These days, movies and television series featuring hot, bloodthirsty vamps, such as HBO's "True Blood" or The CW's "The Vampire Diaries," are becoming the norm.
With so many worthy vampire movies to choose from, it was hard to narrow down the list, but we've managed to select the five best vampire movies ever. Read on at your own risk, because this list may contain spoilers.
First up, sexy vamps and werewolves, oh my ...
No. 5: "Twilight" (2008)
OK, so we'll admit that a huge factor in our love of the vampire movie "Twilight" has to do with the casting of the breathtakingly gorgeous Robert Pattinson in the male lead, as the self-loathing vampire Edward Cullen.
Of course, while we can't get enough of Robert and his on- and off-screen love interest Kristen Stewart, there is also something to be said for the "Twilight" plotline, which is dripping with suspense and romance. Unlike most other vampire movies, there's not a lot of blood and gore, but there's still plenty of action.
Next up, the slayer before the cult TV series ...
No. 4: "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1992)
Five years before Sarah Michelle Gellar reprised the role for television, Kristi Swanson brought "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" to life for the big screen.
A cheerleader who loves to shop, Buffy Summers is the antithesis of what you'd expect from a vampire slayer. However, with the help of her nerdy love interest (Luke Perry) and her vampire-slaying guru (Donald Sutherland), this flighty blonde learns that slaying vampires is her destiny.
This flick has everything that a great high school movie needs, including catty cheerleaders, nerds, jocks and a cheesy high school prom (that just happens to be crashed by a mob of hungry vamps).
It also has Rutger Hauer as the big bad guy, and anyone who's seen "The Hitcher" knows how well he chews scenery. And did we mention his bloodthirsty henchman, played by none other than a shaggy-haired and goateed Paul "Pee-wee Herman" Reubens?
If you loved the TV version (go on, you can admit it!), you'll love this 1990s classic and top-five vampire flick.
Of course, if you really want some fun, mix vampires and George Clooney ...
No. 3: "From Dusk Till Dawn" (1996)
Now that we've gotten the cheesy high school favorites out of the way, move over for this gritty and violent vampire flick, written for the screen by and starring Quentin Tarantino.
Other big names who helped make "From Dusk Till Dawn" a hit include George Clooney, Harvey Keitel, Cheech Marin and Juliette Lewis. And who could forget that steamy dance scene that helped make Salma Hayek a star?
The film follows the Gecko brothers, two fugitive bank robbers who escape into Mexico and end up at a biker bar/strip joint called The Titty Twister. Unfortunately for the brothers, Hayek's character (along with the rest of the dancers and bar staff) turns out to be a vampire, whom the brothers must kill in order to escape.
So, to recap, we've got a talented cast, great writing, plenty of action, a strip club full of vampires and a half-naked Salma Hayek. What more could you ask for in a great vampire flick?
Well, how about a Super Soaker full of holy water? Best vamp-killer ever!

A.; Lahav, Ofer; Lewis, Ian; Lumsden, Stuart; Maddox, Stephen J.; Madgwick, Darren; Peacock, John A.; Peterson, Bruce A.; Sutherland, William J.; Taylor, Keith
- Abstract
- We measure the redshift-space reduced void probability function (VPF) for 2dFGRS volume-limited galaxy samples covering the absolute magnitude range MbJ -5log10 h = -18 to -22. Theoretically, the VPF connects the distribution of voids to the moments of galaxy clustering of all orders, and can be used to discriminate clustering models in the weakly nonlinear regime. The reduced VPF measured from the 2dFGRS is in excellent agreement with the paradigm of hierarchical scaling of the galaxy clustering moments. The accuracy of our measurement is such that we can rule out, at a very high significance, popular models for galaxy clustering, including the lognormal distribution. We demonstrate that the negative binomial model gives a very good approximation to the 2dFGRS data over a wide range of scales, out to at least 20 h-1 Mpc. Conversely, the reduced VPF for dark matter in a A cold dark matter ( ACDM) universe does appear to be lognormal on small scales but deviates significantly beyond ∼4 h-1 Mpc. We find little dependence of the 2dFGRS reduced VPF on galaxy luminosity. Our results hold independently in both the North and South Galactic Pole survey regions.

Richard Childress Racing
Recent News
RCR Crew Member Spotlight: Matt Kreuter
September 18, 2013
Matt Kreuter, gasman on the No. 27 Menards Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series didn't always dream of working in racing. As a youngster, the Zanesville, Ohio, native had ambitions of becoming a fighter pilot. As he grew older, he realized his eyesight was not up to the standards of the Air Force and he was informed he would never be able to fly fighter jets. After receiving the news, Kreuter decided to take a path that would lead him to the world of motorsports. As a teenager he spent his summers working at Thompson Dragway and helping his father restore old hotrods. After high school graduation, the Ohioan worked odd jobs until an old friend who was home visiting for the holiday's convinced him he needed to go to North Carolina and peruse a career in auto racing. Kreuter took the advice of his friend and moved to Wilkesboro, N.C., in 1997 to work for a small family-owned race team as a road mechanic and front-tire carrier for their NASCAR Nationwide Series team. From there, the then 21-year-old went to work for Aiken Motorsports, before eventually moving to Richard Childress Racing in 1999. Since starting at RCR 14 years ago, Kreuter worked for a variety of drivers and teams at the Welcome, N.C. –based organization before moving to the No. 27 Sprint Cup Series team with driver Paul Menard in 2012. Kreuter resides in Welcome, N.C., with his wife Wendy and their son Easton.
Seven Questions with Matt Kreuter:
1. What was your dream job as a child?
I wanted to join the ROTC and then become a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force.
2. If you could have any job in racing what would it be and why?
If I wasn't a crew guy, I'd like to do something in the marketing or public relations field. I enjoy interacting with people and I like to talk, so I think that would be a good position for me. If I did that, I'd still like to pit the car on Sunday's. I really enjoy the team comradery and adrenaline rush that comes with being a member of the over-the-wall pit crew.
3. What is your favorite track to visit on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series circuit and why?
My favorite track is Richmond International Raceway. I love short-track racing and Richmond provides some of the most thrilling racing we see all season. I especially like racing there in the fall under the lights. There is just something about night racing at Richmond that makes it extra exciting.
4. What is the best prank you have ever played on a teammate?
I'm always playing pranks on our rear-tire carrier Ray Wright because he is so gullible, but the best prank I played was when I let one of my guys put the whole fuel cell together in the car and then we had all the officials make him take it out and re-inspect it.
5. If you had a five song pre-race playlist on your iPod what songwriters would make the cut?
They would all be old school country artists: Easton Corbin, Jamey Johnson, Aaron Lewis, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings.
6. How many different job positions have you been in since you started working in racing?
I've done pretty much everything but play the role of a crew chief or team owner. I've been an engine tuner, front-tire carrier, rear-tire carrier, jack man, gasman, shock specialist, set up mechanic, car chief, fabricator and hauler driver. In my 17 years in the sport I've just about done it all.
7. What's your favorite racing memory?
My favorite memory is winning the Daytona 500 and NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race in the same year with Kevin Harvick.

These digital camera binoculars earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because they provided the sharpest magnification and took the most vibrant photos. The Best model's fully coated 8 x 30 mm lenses and 8X magnification allowed analysts to read six lines of an eye chart from 100' away, far superior to lesser binoculars with which analysts could not read any lines of the chart. A professional photographer evaluated prints of digital images taken by each model, and The Best unit's 12 megapixel camera captured photographs that were "brighter with more detail and true-to-life color" than the blurry photos taken by lesser models. The Best Digital Camera Binoculars' superior features include a built-in video camera that captures HD video at 1,280 x 720 resolution and an SD card slot that supports up to 32 GB memory cards. Requires three AAA batteries. 5 3/4" L x 4 1/4" W x 2" H. (2 lbs.)
