December 6, 2016--Our best wishes for the holidays from the staff here at SBHS Theatre! What a great start to a new year; not only did we have a highly successful beginning to our season with Young Frankenstein, but we also received news that we are the first high school in the nation to get the rights to Bullets Over Broadway after its recent close on Broadway and subsequent national tour. This continues our recent history of Broadway to high school openings which began with Spamalot and continued with our recent production of Big Fish. The trickle down from Broadway closing to high school opening is generally between 7-10 years (which is why the chances of seeing a contemporary show is extremely unlikely); we are proud that our local reputation as the best musical theatre in Santa Barbara has translated into national recognition.
Bullets Over Broadway is already in production and dates have beeen announced--we will be opening the new ticket page for advance sales soon--so be on the look out for that. It will prove, we think, to be an extremely hot ticket--with Music Director Jon Nathan, Vocal Director Sio Tepper, Choreographer supreme Christina McCarthy, Costumer Bonnie Thor, and a set designed by Otto Layman (Young Frankenstein, Hair, Pippin, and Into the Woods, among others), Bullets Over Broadway features a professional team of designers/directors to bring this madcap mobster on Broadway saga to life.
Next up immediately, however is a show we are extremely proud of: the 17th season of Music of the Night, Santa Barbara's entirely student-produced show which opens and plays the last week of January, 2017. Featuring the directorial talents of this year's artistic leaders Ben Zevallos, Sarina Wasserman and Hazel Brady, with musical help and direction from Jon Nathan and Sio Tepper, Music of the Night is a high-energy, showstopping selection of all the best that Broadway has to offer. Tickets go on sale soon.
So all the best from us, and again thanks for your patronage and support.

Young Frankenstein is based on the critically-acclaimed Mel Brooks film that was named "one of the funniest movies of all time" by the American Film Institute and features a Book by Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award winner Brooks (The Producers) and multi-Tony Award winner Thomas Meehan (The Producers, Annie, and Hairspray), with Music and Lyrics by Brooks. Young Frankenstein is the wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend. The story follows young Dr. Frankenstein as he attempts to complete his grandfather's masterwork and bring a corpse to life. With his creepy servant, Igor, bombshell lab assistant, Inga, and madcap fiancée, Elizabeth, Dr. Frankenstein succeeds in creating a monster—but not without monstrous repercussions.
The team that brought you SPAMALOT, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and Pippin are back together in Young Frankenstein. Long-time collaborator Christina McCarthy, head of the University of California at Santa Barbara's Dance Department, returned to choreograph, while Dr. Jon Nathan, UCSB Jazz Ensemble, was the Musical Director with Sio Tepper as Vocal Director. Costume Design for Young Frankenstein was by Resident Costume Designer Bonnie Thor. The set for Young Frankenstein, complete with a dungeon laboratory, secret passages, and a roll in the hay, was designed by Otto Layman (who also directs), with technical assistance and construction provided by Technical Director Jonathan Mitchell. Light Design was by Mike Madden. The show was stage managed by SBHS student An Pham.
Young Frankenstein opened at Santa Barbara High School Theatre (700 East Anapamu Street) November 4 at 7pm, with additional performances November 5 at 2pm and 7pm, November 11 at 7pm, November 12 at 2pm and 7pm, and closed November 13 at 2pm.

First produced as a touring version for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2008, HAIR played to sold-out houses in its two performances at SBHS, and its four performances at the Charlotte Hotel in Edinburgh, Scotland, where it was named a Pick of the Festival by the Edinburgh Scotsman.
A new Broadway milestone was set in 1968 when HAIR, the first rock musical, opened to mass popularity. Tackling controversial and explosive issues of the era in theatrically innovative fashion, the brash and exciting musical sustained a five year run at New York's Biltmore Theatre. Hair tells the story of the "tribe", a group of politically active, long-haired hippies of the "Age of Aquarius" living a bohemian life in New York City and fighting against conscription into the Vietnam War. Claude, his good friend Berger, their roommate Sheila and their friends struggle to balance their young lives, loves, and the sexual revolution with their rebellion against the war and their conservative parents and society. Ultimately, Claude must decide whether to resist the draft as his friends have done, or to succumb to the pressures of his parents (and conservative America) to serve in Vietnam, compromising his pacifistic principles and risking his life.
Director Otto Layman, then in his 20th year at the SBHS Theatre helm, had long wanted to explore this musical in a longer version with the accompaniment of a full band. Dr. Jon Nathan (Musical Director), a longtime faculty member at UCSB, brought that vision to life with an all-star orchestra of UCSB students and professional musicians. Working alongside them were Choreographer Jenna Tico, Vocal Director Sio Tepper, Costume Designer Bonnie Thor, Technical Director Jonathan Mitchell, and Stage Manager Beau Lettieri.
Hair opened at Santa Barbara High School Theatre, on April 29, 2016 at 7pm and continued with additional performances on April 30, May 6, and May 7 at 7pm, along with matinees on April 30, May 7, and a special closing matinee on Mother's Day, May 8 at 2pm.
Closed January 31
Santa Barbara High School Theatre's annual Broadway Revue, Music of the Night, has been a part of student culture at Santa Barbara High School for the past fifteen years and is recently returned for its sixteenth season. Music of the Night was created in 1999 by students Blake Berris, Ashley Rodgers, and Evan Hughes, as a way to celebrate student ownership of their theatre education. What started as a little show to fill the long break between the Fall show and the Spring show, often done only with a piano or canned music, has become a full blown stage production, with costume, set and light designs, sophisticated videos, and a live band. It is cast, directed, choreographed, designed and produced entirely by student directors (Dante Gonzalez, Sable Layman, Rio Salazar and Lizzie Saunders) under the supervision of Artistic Director Otto Layman. This year the cast of 24 students performed musical numbers from Broadway musicals — among them, The Producers, Hamilton, Hairspray, Aladdin, Wicked and many more. The show has grown tremendously over the years, and now has the same stature and attendance of our main stage shows--which is an enormous source of pride to the theatre staff.
Music of the Night 2016 played January 28, 29, 30, at 7pm and January 31 at 2pm in the Santa Barbara High School Theatre.

What does it mean to live an extraordinary life? This is the question that drives Pippin, our story's hero, through the adventures of war, sex, politics and love – all the while guided by the mysterious hand of the Leading Player. While the Players strive to steer Pippin towards a perfect, theatrical and tragic end of his story, Pippin begins to discover what it truly means to be extraordinary. Filled with dance, passion, and Stephan Schwartz's iconic music (including "Corner of the Sky," "Magic to Do," and "Extraordinary"), Pippin is the ultimate theatrical experience that left audiences debating what boundaries are crossed for love.
In the title role of Pippin — a young man looking for fulfillment in life — was Bradley DeVine, who then returned for his seventh SBHS production. Camille Umoff commanded the stage as the Leading Player, the ringleader of the circus troupe of performers. Others included Quique Hernandez-Black as King Charlemagne, Pippins Father; Meredith LeMert as Charlemagne's conniving wife, Fastrada; Fastrada's simple minded warrior-son, Lewis, played by Cooper Umoff; and Sarina Wasserman as Pippin's saucy grandmother, Berthe. Sable Layman portrayed Catherine, Pippin's love interest, and finally the part of Catherine's son, Theo was played by Lex Siegel, a fifth grader at Montecito Union. The diverse ensemble of circus performers, soldiers, farm animals and more included Barron Mainz, Dante Gonzalez, Isaac Cortes, Will Blondell, Tyler Dahneke, Nolan McCarthy, Cameron Meza, Drewes McFarling, Cai Norton, Lizzie Saunders, Hailey Turner, Mia Valdes, Hazel Brady, KiSea Katikka, Leah Martin, Julia McCarter, Grace Perry, Liliana Johnston, and Katarina Vodrazkova.

Loosely based on an unfinished mystery by Charles Dickens, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, a musical by Rupert Holmes, is set in the Music Hall Royale in London, UK. Circa 1892. Chairman William Cartwright (Quique Hernandez-Black) and his zany company of Victorian players have devised a musical rendition of the story that invites audience participation at every step. Since Dickens was so rude as to die before finishing his story, the company has rehearsed multiple endings for the audience to vote on during the second act.
Our title character disappears mysteriously one stormy Christmas Eve—but has Edwin Drood been murdered? And if so, then whodunnit? There are over one hundred possibilities for the outcome to this mystery in which the audience will select -- all the as this play-within-a-play comes to a hilariously madcap conclusion that is different every night!
"It's a great acting piece for great improvisers," says Artistic Director Otto Layman, now in his 19th year at Santa Barbara High School. "With over a 100 possible endings—no two performances are ever the same, and the audience becomes part of the show."
Performances run April 24, 25 and April 30, May, 1 and 2 at 7pm at the Santa Barbara High School Theatre, 700 E. Anapamu Street with a Sunday matinee on the May 3 at 2pm. Tickets are $15 general admission and $10 for students and seniors, available by Clicking Here at or at the door.

Pre- and post-session ratings of distress and calmness, and ratings of understanding and helpfulness, were gathered from participants over a 6-month period. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four participants to gather their experience of the group.ResultsFifty-seven complete sets of rating measures were generated from 82 participants recruited for the study (attrition rate 30%), from a total pool of 93 inpatients attending group sessions. Pre- to post-CFT session data highlighted a significant decrease in distress ratings and a significant increase in calmness ratings. A thematic analysis of four interviews identified themes relating to understanding compassion, experience of positive affect, and the experience of common humanity.ConclusionsThis is the first attempt to explore the effects of a CFT-informed approach in acute mental health settings. These groups were well received by staff and patients, with some therapeutic impact despite being comparatively short and set against the background of a busy inpatient ward. These groups can be open and transdiagnostic, with stand-alone topics and practices having positive impacts on distress and calmness. Future studies need to focus on adapting content and pacing for this group of people based on ongoing feedback from participants.Practitioner pointsCFT groups incorporating psychoeducation and compassion practices appear to be understandable and helpful to inpatients in acute mental health settings.CFT acute inpatient groups can be structured as open and transdiagnostic, with stand-alone sessions, to accommodate the varied nature of acute admissions.Group topics informed by CFT – particularly the use of compassionate focusing and imagery – may reduce distress and increase calmness among inpatients.A limitation of this pilot study is that it did not use standardized outcome measures. Moreover, as this was a feasibility study, there was no control group. Get access to the full text of this article

Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/4] Support vranges on files
Newsgroups: gmane.linux.kernel
Date: Wednesday 3rd April 2013 23:52:19 UTC (over 3 years ago)
This patchset is against Minchan's vrange work here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/12/105 Extending it to support volatile ranges on files. In effect providing the same functionality of my earlier file based volatile range patches on-top of Minchan's anonymous volatile range work. Volatile ranges on files are different then on anonymous memory, because the volatility state can be shared between multiple applications. This makes storing the volatile ranges exclusively in the mm_struct (or in vmas as in Minchan's earlier work) inappropriate. The patchset starts with some minor cleanup. Then we introduce the idea of a vrange_root, which provides a interval-tree root and a lock to protect the tree. This structure can then be stored in the mm_struct or in an addres_space. Then the same infrastructure can be used to manage volatile ranges on both anonymous and file backed memory. Next we introduce a parallel fvrange() syscall for creating volatile ranges directly against files. And finally, we change the range pruging logic to be able to handle both anonymous and file volatile ranges. Now there are some quirks still to be resolved with the approach used here. The biggest one being the vrange() call can't be used to create volatile ranges against mmapped files. Instead only the fvrange() can be used to create file backed volatile ranges. This could be overcome by iterating across all the process VMAs to determine if they're anonymous or file based, and if file-based, create a VMA sized volatile range on the mapping pointed to by the VMA. But this would have downsides, as Minchan has been clear that he wants to optmize the vrange() calls so that it is very cheap to create and destroy volatile ranges. Having simple per-process ranges be created means we don't have to iterate across the vmas in the range to determine if they're anonymous or file backed. Instead the current vrange() code just creates per process ranges (which may or may not cover mmapped file data), but will only purge anonymous pages in that range. This keeps the vrange() call cheap. Additionally, just creating or destroying a single range is very simple to do, and requires a fixed amount of memory known up front. Thus we can allocate needed data prior to making any modifications. But If we were to create a range that crosses anonymous and file backed pages, it must create or destroy multiple per-process or per-file ranges. This could require an unknown number of allocations, opening the possibility of getting an ENOMEM half-way through the operation, leaving the volatile range partially created or destroyed. So to keep this simple for this first pass, for now we have two syscalls for two types of volatile ranges. Let me know if you have any thoughts or comments. I'm sure there's plenty of room for improvement here. In the meantime I'll be playing with some different approaches to try to handle single volatile ranges that cross file and anonymous vmas. The entire queue, both Minchan's changes and mine can be found here: git://git.linaro.org/people/jstultz/android-dev.git dev/vrange-minchan thanks -john Cc: [email protected] Cc: Michael Kerrisk

I've been thinking a lot about corners since watching "The Wire". The cops describe their progress in combatting drug dealing in terms of corners cleared. The young dealers look forward to the day when they can have their own corner. There's a whole episode in series four called "Corner Boys". That's how the school refers to those who are destined to slip into a life of crime. The series that David Simon did before "The Wire" was called "The Corner".
Creedence Clearwater Revival had a song called "Down On The Corner". The opening line of Tom Waits's "Jersey Girl" goes "got no time for the corner boys, down on the street making all that noise". Miles Davis made a whole album called "On The Corner". I've got a wonderful old record by the Isley Brothers called "Love Put Me On The Corner". (Matter of fact, it's here.)
The Corner is obviously the embassy of the sovereign state of Uptonogood. We have venues over here that perform a similar function but they're not usually corners, possibly because the high rises that were knocked down in Baltimore years ago still cling on here. So our corner boys have to make do with the pavement outside off-licences, near bus stops or in the immediate environs of fried chicken outlets. Which is nothing like as musical.

JT LeRoy
Jeremiah "Terminator" LeRoy is a literary persona created by American writer Laura Albert. The name was used from 1996 on, for publication in magazines such as Nerve and Shout NY.[1] After his first novel Sarah was published, "LeRoy" started making public appearances. In a January 2006 article in The New York Times, LeRoy's agent, manager, movie producer, as well as several journalists, declared that the person acting as LeRoy in public was Savannah Knoop.
In 2007, Albert was found liable in monetary damages for the tort of fraud for having signed legal papers in the name of her fictional character.[2]
After the reveal, artist/director Robert Wilson created his VOOM video portrait of JT LeRoy.[3] Albert and JT are the subjects of the hit Brazilian rock musical JT, Um Conto de Fadas Punk (JT, A Punk Fairy Tale). The documentarian Marjorie Sturm produced and directed "The Cult of JT LeRoy" about the JT LeRoy scandal. It premiered in 2015[4] and is currently streaming on multiple platforms. The documentarian Jeff Feuerzeig co-produced, wrote, and directed a film documenting the scandal, titled Author: The JT LeRoy Story; the only film on this subject thus far to receive American and European theatrical distribution, it premiered in United States theaters in September 2016.

Background and creation of the character[edit]
LeRoy was supposedly born October 31, 1980 in West Virginia. His backstory was one of prostitution, drug addiction, and vagrancy in California, prior to the publication of his first novel in 1999. However, an exposé in October 2005 revealed that JT LeRoy was a fictional character created by Laura Albert.[5][6] The JT LeRoy scandal involved Laura Albert and her family. As reported by Vanity Fair in 2006, "J. T. LeRoy was the invention of Speedie/Emily, whose real name is Laura Albert. Now 40, she wrote all of J.T.'s books, articles, and stories, corresponded as J.T. by e-mail, and spoke as him on the phone, putting on a southern accent she thought was in accordance with J.T.'s supposed West Virginian origins. The high, feminine pitch was sometimes explained away as a result of J.T.'s not having fully matured physically due to the abuse he suffered. Her co-conspirators were Astor, whose real name is Geoffrey Knoop, 39, and his half-sister Savannah Knoop, a 25-year-old aspiring clothes designer who, once J.T.'s career took off, was drafted to play the writer in public—the wigs-and-sunglasses figure."[7]
Albert described LeRoy as an "avatar",[8] and said that she was able to write things as LeRoy that she could not have said as Laura Albert, comparing it to "the way an oyster creates a pearl: out of irritation and suffering. It was an attempt to try to heal something."[9] She later ommented, "I had survived sexual and physical abuse and found a way to turn it into art [...] Having struggled with issues of gender fluidity when there was no language for it, I created a character both on and off the page who modeled this as yet to be named state of being."[10] Writing for The New York Times in 2016, Albert noted, "I meet a lot of young people and they're shocked that it was an issue to even have an avatar. Because they've grown up where you have multiple fully formed avatars."[11]
Published works[edit]
Albert originally published as Terminator and later JT LeRoy.[12]
- By turns magical and realistic, the novel Sarah is narrated by a nameless boy whose mother Sarah is a lot lizard: a prostitute who works the truck stops in West Virginia. She can be abusive and abandoning, yet he longs for her love and tries to follow in her world, working for a pimp who specializes in "boy-girls."
- Ten short stories that form a novel about the childhood of Jeremiah, torn from his foster parents at age four when his emotionally disturbed mother reclaims him and then runs away with him. She alternately clings to Jeremiah and abandons him, subjecting him to patterns of abuse and exploitation she has suffered throughout her life.
- Harold's End (2005)[15]
- The novella follows a young heroin addict who is befriended by Larry, an older man, from whom he receives an unusual pet. Illustrations are by Australian artist Cherry Hood. Published by Last Gasp.
- A young boy lives with his mother and her boyfriend in a small trailer. When a new baby comes along, he must take care of it the best he can, drawing inspiration from a book about the labors of Hercules. This volume also features watercolor illustrations from Australian artist Cherry Hood.
Contributions to other written works[edit]
LeRoy's work was also published in literary journals such as Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope: All-Story, McSweeney's Quarterly Concern, Memorious, and Oxford American magazine's Seventh Annual Music Issue. LeRoy was listed as a contributing editor to BlackBook magazine, i-D and 7x7 magazines, and is credited with writing reviews all of which include the character Justin Wayne Dennis, articles and interviews for The New York Times, The Times of London, Spin, Film Comment, Filmmaker, Flaunt, Shout NY, Index Magazine, Interview, and Vogue, among others.
LeRoy's work has also appeared in such anthologies as The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2003, MTV's Lit Riffs, XXX: 30 Porn-Star Portraits, Nadav Kander's Beauty's Nothing, and The Fourth Sex: Adolescent Extremes. LeRoy is also listed as guest editor for Da Capo's Best Music Writing 2005.[17]
Additionally, LeRoy was credited with liner notes and biographies for musicians Billy Corgan, Liz Phair, Conor Oberst, Ash, Bryan Adams, Marilyn Manson, Nancy Sinatra and Courtney Love and profiled award-winner Juergen Teller.
Gus Van Sant bought the film rights to Sarah and commissioned J.T. to write a screenplay about a school shooting that provided the seed for the 2003 film Elephant (for which J.T. received an associate-producer credit). [7] LeRoy was credited as associate producer for the 2004 film adaptation of The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things, directed by and starring Asia Argento. It was released in spring 2006.
In 2005 LeRoy was credited as a contributing scriptwriter for House of Boys (2009), a Luxembourgian-German drama film that depicts a love story set in Amsterdam in 1984, starring Layke Anderson, Stephen Fry and Udo Kier, and produced by Delux Productions.
Literary supporters[edit]
In 1994, LeRoy got in touch with novelist Dennis Cooper by faxing a request through Cooper's agent, Ira Silverberg. He struck up a telephone friendship with Cooper, who introduced him to the writer Bruce Benderson, through whom he contacted novelist Joel Rose, writer Laurie Stone, editor Karen Rinaldi, and agent Henry Dunow. He also got in touch with poet Sharon Olds, Mary Karr and Mary Gaitskill, among others.
LeRoy thus built a core of literary supporters, engaging in lengthy, intimate phone conversations and correspondence with them. Throughout the 1990s, LeRoy rarely appeared in public. Then in 2001, a person claiming to be LeRoy began appearing in public, usually decked out in wig and sunglasses.
Peter Carlson wrote in The Washington Post, "The San Francisco Chronicle called the LeRoy affair 'the greatest literary hoax in a generation'. But this fascinating interview reveals that the real story was far more complex and interesting." In Lemon Magazine, head writer Robert Bundy wrote an editorial entitled "Yes Virginia, There Is A JT LeRoy", in the style of Francis P. Church's classic 1897 article "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus", which defended the belief in Santa Claus. Bundy argued that LeRoy exists "because a touching expression of longing, suffering, love, and endurance is not disqualified simply because it issues from a construct. He exists because if words and stories resonate and move the reader, then it matters not that the hand writing them signed another's name."
Hans Eisenbeis, in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul newspaper The Rake, wrote, "I don't know what all the fuss is about. In the business, it's called a pseudonym, and the fact that J.T. LeRoy has been writing and publishing under that name for more than a decade ought to be track record enough to establish his (or her) credentials... It's an interesting mystery, but seems to me sort of irrelevant to whether the work written by that person is publishable or not."
Dennis Cooper and many literary supporters were angered by JT Leroy. "But some who were sucked in to LeRoy's 2 a.m. phone calls and pleas for emotional and artistic support have expressed outrage since the hoax was revealed. "It's not cute. It's not irrelevant. It's a cruel con, straight up, and the whole writers' community suffered for it," wrote Susie Bright, the San Francisco author and feminist "sex-positive" crusader, on her blog. "I'm sure there are examples of hoaxes that don't leave such a trail of used people." Another San Francisco author and activist, Michelle Tea ("Rent Girl"), a former sex worker, has said: "Laura Albert is a traitor to writing itself, specifically to memoir. ... It's such a slap to the artists who really are toiling away to create meaning from the hardships of their live," Tea said. "It turns the redemptive quality of a lot of writing into a total farce."[18]
Celebrity supporters[edit]
In early 2001, Garbage singer Shirley Manson mentioned reading Sarah in her band's online journal.[19] Manson then received LeRoy's manuscript for The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things and they became friends. At the time, Manson was writing and recording the band's third album, beautifulgarbage, and wrote a song about LeRoy called "Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!)". Manson later referenced LeRoy and his friend Speedie in the title song from the band's fourth effort, Bleed Like Me.
Personal appearances[edit]
The controversial subject matter in LeRoy's work created substantial journalistic interest in the author, and various reporters and book critics sought out his identity. LeRoy, citing extreme shyness, refused to appear in public without being disguised in a wig, hat, and sunglasses.[20] LeRoy would infrequently speak in public and once in Milan he hid under the table during his own book reading.
In an interview with The Guardian on January 4, 2006, LeRoy noted that he was "Twenty-three, er ... 24", when he would have been 25 years old. LeRoy also asked a question about Wiffleball, even though his author's bios claimed that he enjoyed playing it. The writer of the article, Laura Barton, quickly received an email from the LeRoy camp attempting to reposition his remarks.[21]
2005: the Beachy article and its fallout[edit]
Author Stephen Beachy wrote in the October 10, 2005 issue of New York magazine suggesting that LeRoy and his associate, Speedie, were personas adopted by musician Laura Albert.[22] The following year, Laura Albert gave an extensive cover-story interview—her first—with Nathaniel Rich of The Paris Review, detailing her own troubled history and her personal experiences with abuse, abandonment, institutionalization, sex work, gender identity, and her need, since childhood, to create alternate personae (chiefly over the telephone) as a psychological survival mechanism, through which she could articulate her own ideas and feelings.[23] In November 2010, Laura Albert appeared at The Moth to tell her story on video.
On November 11, 2005, Women's Wear Daily wrote that the editors of The New York Times Magazine killed an article LeRoy had written after Beachy's article questioning his identity was published.
The Washington Post's David Segal picked up the New York magazine story and wrote, "[LeRoy] appears to be one of the great literary hoaxes of our day, and it fooled a whole lot of people as well as the media, including The New York Times, which last year ran a lengthy profile of LeRoy".[24][25]
2006: JT LeRoy blog: "the hoax edition"[edit]
On January 6, 2006 JT LeRoy posted a blog entry titled "the Hoax edition"[26] which cited an article in The Guardian that took a kind stance over the hoax issue stating that "identity is irrelevant." Also included were T-shirt prints which made light of the hoax, reading "I am the real JT LeRoy" and including an artistic image of the author's blonde wig and sunglasses. Also on the blog entry were promotional references to the film The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things, DVD cover art and opening dates, and a Sundance Film Festival viewing.
The New York Times articles and reactions[edit]
Three days after the blog entry, a New York Times article by Warren St. John, published on January 9, 2006, gave evidence that the person appearing in public as JT LeRoy was Savannah Knoop, half-sister of Geoffrey Knoop.[27]
St. John's follow-up article, published by the Times on February 7, 2006, carried the headline, "Figure in JT LeRoy Case Says Partner Is Culprit", an investigative interview with Geoffrey Knoop. In this article, Knoop states,"that he had come forward out of concern for his son, family members and others affected by what he called an all-consuming web of deceit. He said he and Ms. Albert separated in December, in large part because of stress caused by the deception." Knoop also stated of Albert, "For her, it's very personal. It's not a hoax. It's a part of her." He further stated that he and Albert had separated in December 2005 and were then involved in a custody dispute over their son; however, their case has never entered the courts and no request has been filed by Knoop for sole custody. Knoop also expressed his belief that Albert would never publicly admit to writing as LeRoy.
Rolling Stone: Billy Corgan and "the Magic Kingdom"[edit]
The November 29, 2007 Rolling Stone (#1040) featured an article about JT LeRoy by Guy Lawson in which it was stated that the guitarist Billy Corgan had been privy to what Albert was doing since 2002 and that this felt to him "... like being inside the Magic Kingdom".
Girl boy girl[edit]
In 2008, Savannah Knoop published Girl Boy Girl: How I Became JT LeRoy, a memoir about the six years she spent as LeRoy.[28]
While many authors have taken pen names for various reasons (anonymity, protection of privacy), the persona that Albert and her friends created raised criticism from those who took her novels to be autobiographical.[citation needed] Albert later declared, "No audience for any work of art needs to worry about being fooled. Art is the opportunity to change the way you think, which means you can never be fooled – you either have that experience or you don't."[29]
Many of JT LeRoy's supporters were led to believe by Laura Albert that "JT" was HIV positive. "JT"'s former literary agent, Ira Silverberg, is quoted in the New York Times as saying, "To present yourself as a person who is dying of AIDS in a culture which has lost so many writers and voices of great meaning, to take advantage of that sympathy and empathy, is the most unfortunate part of all of this. A lot of people believed they were supporting not only a good and innovative and adventurous voice, but that we were supporting a person."[30] This is what distinguishes "JT LeRoy" from being simply a pen name or pseudonym.
Knoop's personal appearances presented LeRoy's public with a glimpse of the object of their interest. Albert has been criticized for allegedly calling for attention to JT LeRoy by associating the character with HIV, but there is no evidence that HIV was significant in LeRoy's public persona. As Knoop explained, the ongoing HIV-positive storyline was deleted at the time that she entered the picture as a physical LeRoy impersonator. In a September 2008 interview, Knoop recalled the change in storyline to Gavin Gavin Browning of The Village Voice:
Browning: "There were inconsistencies. In the late '90s, HIV was part of JT's story. But that got dropped. Were you ever challenged about that?"
Knoop: "No. I think that HIV was dropped right around the time I started impersonating him. HIV wasn't part of the story that I was playing, but there were little details. I would wear long sleeves, and there were scars. HIV was part of the trajectory, and then it was just dropped."[31]
Many have assumed Asia Argento knew the real identity of JT LeRoy because she worked intimately with both components of "JT LeRoy" (Laura Albert and Savannah Knoop) in the adaptation of "The Heart is Deceitful." That wasn't the case although Albert has stated it was in her Paris Review interview. After many years of relative silence, Asia Argento criticized "JT"/Laura Albert and Savannah Knoop in an interview with the The Guardian. She stated, "A way I thought I could get rid of the resentment was to just not talk about it. It is something I cannot forgive. Believe me it's hard to carry this burden. I would be very grateful if one day this stops in me. I couldn't do movies as a director for 10 years. Because I've been fooled. I'm a fool! How could I not see it? It made me feel worthless to be honest. I didn't have a lot of self esteem after that. It took me a long time to rebuild it. I was lost. So forgiveness … it's a beautiful thing, of saints and martyrs, but I can't let it go. I was fucking manipulated, it's time for me to say that."[32]
Fiction as therapy[edit]
Although Laura Albert initially maintained her silence about her own personal history, a negative backlash nevertheless tarnished LeRoy's reputation early in 2006. The attacks focused on Albert's credibility to speak on the issues which had supposedly impacted LeRoy, such as being transgender, a victim of child abuse, a prostitute, and formerly homeless.
The question of whether a traumatic childhood (abuse and sexual assault) should justify the "JT LeRoy" scandal is controversial. "I think the tension of this story has to do with the ethics around what Laura Albert and company did to get ahead," writes Marjorie Sturm, maker of 'The Cult Of JT LeRoy.' "First off, the JT LeRoy enterprise was not just Laura Albert. It involved her mother, her sister, her sister-in-spirit [Savannah Knoop], and her partner/mate of many years [Geoff Knoop]. Were they all mentally ill? Or were they profiting and living off it? Was JT LeRoy just 'bubbling out of her consciousness' when she formed a corporation to hide JT's money? When she actively promoted JT and drew in celebrities? Even if we give Laura Albert the benefit of the doubt and say JT was a coping mechanism, does that give her the right to abuse, lie, and exploit others?"[32]
The role of Dr. Terrence Owens[edit]
Dr. Terrence Owens, a therapist at the McAuley Adolescent Unit of St. Mary's Medical Center in San Francisco, was credited by LeRoy for motivating him to write. LeRoy claimed Owens encouraged writing between sessions to maintain continuity of thought, saying that LeRoy's accounts would help to train a class of prospective social workers. Those writings eventually made their way into the collection of short stories in 1998. The fact that the books were dedicated to Owens always validated "JT"'s existence and helped perpetuate the fraud, albeit unwittingly. He, too, only had a phone relationship with "JT." [33] Recently, Dr. Owens spoke to the media and said that he never gave permission to be tape recorded, and those illegal recordings are part of the documentary, "Author." [34]
Comparisons to other pseudonym cases[edit]
The JT LeRoy case has been frequently compared with the contemporaneous controversy involving the author James Frey, despite the difference that Frey's work was published as a memoir and apparently had an only a limited number of pages that were fabrication, while Albert's work was marketed as 'autobiographical fiction' of JT LeRoy. Albert contests that "JT LeRoy's" work is fiction because it was labelled fiction on the jacket cover, despite the fact that "JT LeRoy" gave countless interviews, phone calls, and email in the voice of "JT LeRoy" as well as had her sister-in-law impersonate "JT LeRoy' in public. There have been many comparisons to Armisted Maupin's "The Night Listener' and the case of Anthony Godby Johnson. "When Armistead Maupin's The Night Listener came out in 2000, many noted the similarities between its story and that of JT LeRoy's. The Night Listener was a fictionalized account of the case of Anthony Godby Johnson. Johnson was supposedly a teenager with AIDS who had endured an incredibly abusive childhood until he was adopted, at 11, by a "social worker" named Vicki. In the early nineties, he contacted the writer Paul Monette, who was himself dying of AIDS and who connected Tony to editors. After reading Tony's memoir, Maupin asked to be put in touch with Tony and began a long telephone friendship. But nobody had ever met Tony in person, and it was noted how similar his voice was to that of his adoptive mother, Vicki, the only person who would claim to have seen him. Like LeRoy, Tony built a network of writers and celebrities, created a Website, and touched the hearts of an adoring public. Although his editors and agents defended him, eventually people began to suspect he was a fraud. After Maupin's novel renewed interest in the case, the holes in Tony's story were made devastatingly clear in Tad Friend's 2001 New Yorker article "Virtual Love."[35]
Elena Ferrante is a famous Italian mysterious pseudonym who was revealed, but comparison's to "JT LeRoy also fall short because there was no one masquerading nor as The New Yorker puts its, "a trick, as the false identity of the writer JT LeRoy was a trick, a performance consciously created to fool readers and to drum up interest in LeRoy's supposedly autobiographical books."[36]
What makes "JT LeRoy" a unique case compared to other pseudonym cases are the personal relationships that were established with people who felt they were interacting with an HIV positive, abused, homeless, recovering drug addict. The hurt and betrayal from the deception was large. "Albert's attorneys in the case argued that JT LeRoy was simply a pseudonym. But pseudonyms don't cause that kind of pain."[37]
Film option and lawsuit[edit]
Antidote International Films, Inc., and its president Jeffrey Levy-Hinte announced plans for a film adaptation of Sarah to be directed by Steven Shainberg. According to The New York Times, when Shainberg "learned who had truly written 'Sarah' an inspiration came to him to make a 'meta-film', a triple-layered movie that would blend the novel with the lives of its real and purported authors in a project he took to calling 'Sarah Plus'."[38] The New York Times also reported that this new project "required the rights to Laura Albert's story, rights that she in no uncertain terms refused to grant."[39] Levy-Hinte stated, "that the lawsuit was less about getting his money back than about sticking up for fair dealing and telling the truth. I'm kind of a person of principle. I wasn't willing to simply walk away and take a loss with no apology or reasonable explanation.""[40]
In June 2007 Antidote sued Laura Albert for fraud, claiming that a contract signed with JT LeRoy to make a feature film of Sarah was null and void.[6] ABC News questioned whether Antidote's lawyer "may have misfired by comparing Albert to Shakespeare in an attempt to claim that authorship matters. 'You think Shakespeare would be Shakespeare if he didn't write it – whoever Shakespeare really is?' he asked."[41] On June 22 a Manhattan jury found Albert liable in monetary damages for the tort of fraud because she had signed her nom de plume to the movie contract. She was ordered to pay $110,000 to Antidote, covering the option contract, as well as an extra $6,500 in punitive damages.[42] In reporting the verdict on June 23, Alan Feuer noted in The New York Times, "He [Jeffrey Levy-Hinte] went on to say that if Ms. Albert, who never made a fortune from her literary works, could not afford to pay the judgment, he might have to consider laying claim to the rights to her past and future books."[43] On July 31, 2007, the court ordered Albert to pay an additional $350,000 in legal fees to Antidote.[39] After having appealed, the damages awarded were reduced by settlement with Antidote in 2009, and Laura Albert retained the rights to her books and her life story.[44][45]
In August 2008, the Authors Guild released an amicus brief in regard to the trial verdict, supporting Albert and opposing the jury's decision, stating that the decision "will have negative repercussions extending into the future for many authors. The right to free speech, and the right to speak and write anonymously are rights protected by our Constitution, and the district court's decision which holds that Laura Albert's use of pseudonym breached the Option and Purchase Agreement, is one that will have a chilling effect upon authors wishing to exercise their right to write anonymously". They went on to request that the court reverse the decision in regards to a breach of contract.[46]
Obviously, the Jury and the Court did not agree. As explained by Filmmaker magazine, "Antidote v. Albert has succeeded in extending the 21st century's most fascinating literary hoax into a whole new discursive realm. While some have argued that the case is about the right of an author to create a pseudonym for him or herself (and Antidote has proposed that it's just about the non-ability of a fictitious person to enter into legal agreements), the verdict is a step towards defining the responsibilities of the alter-ego. In an age in which many if not most people employ fictitious identities in everything from puffed-up dating profiles to Second Life avatars, Antidote v. Albert seeks to identify the responsibilities of identity — even a fictitious one."[47]
In popular culture[edit]
Since the hoax was revealed, references to JT LeRoy and the books have continued to turn up in popular culture, such as episodes of Law & Order and Smash, and the Brazilian rock musical JT, Um Conto de Fadas Punk ("JT, A Punk Fairy Tale").
Filmmaker Michael Arias claimed JT LeRoy for his inspiration in translating Taiyo Matsumoto's manga Sunny.[48] At a 2013 symposium with filmmaker J. J. Abrams in New York, actress and writer Lena Dunham said that JT LeRoy "co-opted my imagination for a full year of my life. [...] It was pretty remarkable. And then you also go, 'This person isn't who they claim to be, but they still wrote this book that captured all of our imaginations, so then why does the identity of the author even matter when you're reading fiction and engaging with it in a really personal way?'"[49] That same year, Laura Albert told Interview magazine, "You know, JT LeRoy does not exist. But he lives. That's what a famous film historian once said about Bugs Bunny."[50] Another interviewer insisted, "Albert had ingeniously hacked the literary establishment."[29] In March 2014 the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the Academy of Friends Oscar Party in San Francisco invited JT LeRoy – played by gender-fluid fashion model Rain Dove Dubilewski – to walk the runway as part of its HIV/AIDS fundraiser.[51] Documentaries about JT LeRoy include Author: The JT LeRoy Story (2016) directed by Jeff Feuerzeig, The Cult of JT LeRoy (2015) directed by Marjorie Sturm, and The Ballad of JT LeRoy (2014) directed by Lynn Hershman Leeson. Writing about having curated a recent photographic exhibition that included Mary Ellen Mark's 2001 portrait of JT LeRoy for Vanity Fair, Chuck Mobley of San Francisco Camerawork insisted, "There were a lot of moral judgments being made (by educated people who should know better) that were exhausting and simplistic. [...] The grievances aired seemed petty and obscured a far more fascinating and intellectually stimulating story."[52] Many others have felt differently,"When Albert's fraud was finally exposed (after she wrecked the credibility of several publications, book companies, a film studio—plus many gullible readers) the reaction was justifiably angry and strong."[53]

Comments about Amla tin Xl Moisturizing Lotion 5.6 oz./c:
keritosis runs in ourr family. it is usually a childhood skin problem that goes away with age. but ours doesnt. my sister,my 10 yr old daughter,and i have it. my 2 year old is also showing signs of it. our insurance wouldnt pay for prescription ammonium lactate , so our derrmatologist recommended Amlactin XL. she said its the same thing as prescription but more affordable for people whose insurance wont pay for it. it softens the skin and makes the appearance of the bumps less noticeable and in some cases it disappears altogether. It does take time for it to work but it is worth the wait.you will have noticeable differences right away in the softness of your skin and in time the way your skin looks. its a great product to use when every other moisturizer has failed.

Meet Fern! This confident, five-year-old pup lives life on her terms. Her foster mom says she's like a cat in a dog's body - she will come to you when she wants snuggles and pets, but is otherwise a pretty independent pup.
Fern is housetrained, walks well on a leash, and easy to train because she is very food-motivated! If you like to teach dogs new tricks, Fern's your girl! She has a moderate activity level and a moderate affection level. She will walk over to her people for pets, but she prefers to decide when enough is enough and walk away.
Fern also has a silly side....when she goes into her crate, she arranges her things so that only an eye or an ear is sticking out from underneath her blankets.
Fern's ideal home is one where her family can appreciate and handle her independent nature. She needs people to set ground rules for her while also understanding her need for her own space. She'd probably be best as an only dog, or in a home with another confident dog.

United Parcel Service (UPS) is one of those companies that will reward you with lower rates the more you use them. As I mention in my other blog (link here), the rates went up on January 1st. One way to diffuse higher rates is to work toward acquiring lower rates from them.
You can always take your packages to a UPS Store and have them ship it for you. Those stores have become somewhat ubiquitous and there usually is one nearby. But if you ship this way, you'll pay a much higher rate because there will be a markup on shipping. These markups can be quite high; this is where the UPS Store franchises make a lot of their money.
If you set up your own UPS account, you can print your own labels and simply drop your package(s) off at any location of The UPS Store or a UPS terminal (if there happens to be one nearby). You will then pay your rate instead of the marked-up retail rate.
So even if you just ship a few packages a month, it will benefit you to set up a UPS account. As you use your UPS account more and more, you will eventually get put into a different rate category.

How to set input in salary rule
Hi Everyone !
I am creating a salary rule which includes an input field , as I create the rule having python code like (inputs.FSAL.amount), but when I generate a payslip for the same salary rule this input field is not showing on the payslip. Is it here any error in the rule for input or something else.
Thanks in advance
It's really hard to understand your problem based on information your provided but I would try to answer which steps you need to take care,
- configure Amount Type = Python Code in your salary rule, code should be, result = inputs.yourcode.amount
- 'yourcode' should be configured in field Code in the list of Inputs on the same salary rule
- add this salary rule in your salary structure
- once you create any payslip and choose employee, you will see that the Other Inputs list on payslip is auto populated and you can enter Amount.

Zimbabwe Visa | Uni-Visa
Zimbabwe Zambia
UniVisa Zimbabwe Zambia
The UNIVISA - standard fee of US$50 – where credit card point of sale facilities were not available at port of entry it was recommended that clients have US$50 available for payment.
Validity – the KAZA UNIVISA was valid for 30 days as long as you remained in Zimbabwe or Zambia, and clients could cross into Zimbabwe/Zambia as frequently as they like within the 30 day period. (If the UNIVISA was obtained at Victoria Falls and you cross over to Zimbabwe at Kariba or Chirundu or vice versa the visa would be valid)
Botswana for day trips through the Kazangula Borders, but not valid if staying in Botswana overnight, in this case you would need to purchase a new Visa.
The UNIVISA was not extendable. However, you could buy a new UNIVISA (up to 3 per year). You did NOT have to by a UniVisa. You could purchase normal single and double entry visas if they suited you better - see our Zimbabwe visa page.
Example 1: US passport holder only coming to Zimbabwe, not going across to Zambia. Better to buy a single entry visa @ $30.
Example 2: US passport holder staying in Zimbabwe but going to Zambia for a day activity. Normal visa price $45 double entry visa to Zimbabwe + $20 Zambia day tripper visa = $65. Therefore cheaper to buy UniVisa at $50 covers all entries.
UNIVISA not available at Ports of Entry
