Pink and her little sister Rolly are the sort of drug-addled young people that politicians of all colours seek to vilify or redeem. Pink is a manipulative junkie prone to psychotic hallucination; Rolly is an illiterate mother-to-be, in and out of prison. They come from foster homes and live on a sink estate where they are routinely exploited for sex and violence to get cash they blow on heroin. But for Vivienne Franzmann, who won Manchester's Bruntwood Prize in 2008 with her debut play 'Mogadishu', the two twentysomethings are spirited survivalists who miraculously represent hope.
The sisters have invented their own language somewhere between the Nadsat of Anthony Burgess's 'A Clockwork Orange' and modern street patois. This lingo is mostly sub-yardie 'ting' and 'arks', but the girls coin their own neologisms and although they can hardly read they still reference Dickens and Swift. Franzmann's dialogue is a blend of lyrical realism cut with social commentary (which perhaps shows its patrician hand by citing Radio Four's 'The Archers').
But the relentlessly bleak story – developed with Clean Break Theatre Company – condenses many women's experience of the criminal justice system and offers respect and understanding where outrage and incarceration normally prevail.
Lucy Morrison's intense production is a dingy descent into the violent squalor of these women's abandoned lives. Designer Joanna Scotcher sets the action on a hillock of mouldy mattresses framed within a scaffold of plumbing and wiring. Across this, whirling fractals are projected like incipient psychoses. As Rolly, Ellie Kendrick is a gutsy little sister gestating a baby destined to be taken into care. Sinéad Matthews's Pink, meanwhile, sets the pace as the controlling, fantasist big sister intent on maintaining a 'Wizard of Oz' dream world maintained by hand jobs, blow jobs and shoplifting. The pleasure is in their reckless defiance.

I watched this with my husband last night and was blown away. The performances from Kendrick (Rolly) and Mathews (Pink) are absolutely outstanding. Quite simply, it is the best acting I have seen. I was genuinely moved by the dark and unrelenting events which were played out on stage. This was perfectly balanced with lighter, sometimes comical moments that had me in fits of laughter. The script was a fusion of rhythmical colloquial slang that felt raw and gritty, yet strangely poetic. I found myself genuinely caring about the characters and willing them to break away from their cyclical behaviour of drug taking and self-destruction.
The play was utterly engaging from beginning to end. Matthews' is brimming with energy and totally captivating. She switches throughout from manic to wounded and vulnerable. Kendrick's emotion also feels very real and I could almost feel her pain when her attempts to make a better life for herself were dashed by her sister. Although her character was more unassuming, her performance was equally as remarkable. Despite Pink's attempts to sabotage her sister's hopes of a better life, you can sense the unspoken love and loyalty between the two. It is emotionally exhausting, and appears even more so for the actresses who managed to captivate the audience with such a high-energy performance for 1 hour 45 minutes, without an interval.
The play brought up ethical questions for me, which I found myself pondering for quite some time afterwards. It allowed me to better appreciate the grim realities of drug addiction from a unique perspective, that is of Pink and Rolly. The cyclical and intertwined nature of troubled pasts, the prison system, addiction and self-destruction are profound and are portrayed eloquently. I found myself feeling sympathetic towards some of the damaging, and often ruthless, decisions and actions played out, and more appreciative of the enormity involved in breaking away from that lifestyle.
A must see; if nothing else to witness such superb acting.

The right to vote is constitutional, and the United States Department of Justice intends to protect it during the Nov. 8 presidential election.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Randy Stoker has been appointed by the DOJ to serve as a district election officer for the Norfolk and Newport News areas.
He will oversee election fraud and voting rights abuse complaints, including threats of intimidation, bribery, harassment and impersonation, according to a DOJ news release.
"Every citizen must be able to vote without interference or discrimination," U.S. Attorney Dana J. Boente wrote in the release. "They need to have that vote counted without it being stolen because of fraud. The Department of Justice will act promptly and aggressively to protect the integrity of the election process."
Voters who suspect election fraud or voting rights violations should call Stoker at 757-441-6331 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., or the DOJ at 703-299-3700 before 8:30 a.m. or after 5 p.m.

Artichoke Basille's Pizza
Eating at this pizzeria is a sloppy but delicious affair. The pizzas are easily an inch thick, and it's mostly due to the toppings. Try a slice piled high with artichokes and spinach, their namesake dish, which tastes like an inspired take on game-day artichoke dip.
Bar Boulud
Daniel Boulud is known for haute French cuisine. But on The Best Thing I Ever Ate, former New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni praised Boulud's homier menu and the classic croque monsieur sandwich. Gruyère and heritage ham meld perfectly, much like the foie gras favorite Pâté Grand-Père.
Clinton St. Baking Co. & Restaurant
The award-winning blueberry pancakes with warm maple butter at Clinton St. Baking Co. & Restaurant are so irresistible, Bobby Flay just had to challenge the owners to a throwdown. If you stop by the homey spot for brunch, also try the buttermilk biscuits and tomato jam, hearty omelets and sugar-cured bacon.
Red Rooster
Wherever Chopped judge Marcus Samuelsson cooks, you can be sure his flavors will pull from his past and present. Red Rooster is no exception. Marcus serves modern Harlem comfort foods like Fried Yardbird, and Mac & Greens. As a nod to his Swedish roots, he's added Helga's Meatballs to the menu.
The Breslin Bar & Dining Room
When Bruni craves a burger — a chargrilled lamb burger, to be specific — he heads to The Breslin, a British gastropub helmed by Chef April Bloomfield. Located in the Ace Hotel, the popular spot boasts decadent comfort food and a fashionable clientele.
Employees Only
Chef Rocco DiSpirito called the Bacon-Wrapped Lamb Chops appetizer at Employees Only "the best one-bite wonder that you'll ever have." Swing by the charming speakeasy-style spot for top-notch artisanal cocktails and a mix of hearty entrees, like roast chicken and short ribs.
The Italian-American classic is handled with care here: It's a perfect chicken Parmesan on a soft semolina roll.
When Rachael Ray craves a big old plate of pasta, she heads to Lupa, a Roman trattoria co-owned by Food Network's own Mario Batali. The casual setting ties into its homey plates, including rustic Spaghetti alla Carbonara and the favorite Ricotta Gnocchi. Diners rave about the newest Roman-style late-night menu.
Before this hip Brooklyn bakery went head-to-head with Chef Bobby on Throwdown, it was Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito's chance at perfecting dessert. Today Baked has become a sweet-tooth mecca with its favorites, which include red velvet cupcakes and the Sweet & Salty Brownie.
On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Bobby didn't hesitate in naming Balthazar's french fries as the perfect crunch food. Locals also swear by this brasserie's perfection of all foods Parisian, like Steak Frites and Boudin Noir. Pressed for time? Stop by the bakery next door and snag a crunchy baguette.
Barney Greengrass
As the self-proclaimed Duke of Herring, Alton Brown declared Barney Greengrass' Chopped Herring Sandwich (on rye) worthy of The Best Thing I Ever Ate. The "Sturgeon King" deli of almost 100 years offers sandwich salads prepared in small batches, so every bite from sturgeon to nova lox is royally fresh.
Blue Smoke
As a pioneer of the urban barbecue scene, Chef Kenny Callaghan has created finger-licking barbecue right in a potato chip. On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Susan Feniger raves about his chips, perfectly matched with blue cheese and bacon dip. It's a great start to scrumptious pit barbecue.
Caracas Arepa Bar
The arepas here are so flavorful that they beat Bobby's in a throwdown. The corn cakes are stuffed with sweet and savory fillings like the De Pabellon, filled with beef, beans, plantains and Cotija cheese. Want a kick in your bite? Try the La de Pernil with pork shoulder and spicy mango sauce.
Lombardi's Pizzeria
For true New York-style pizza, look no further than America's first, and some say best, pizzeria in the U.S. Since 1897 Lombardi's has been winning over New Yorkers like Rachael with a perfect balance of marinara and mozzarella, all atop a thin crust baked in a coal-fired oven.
The Bagel Store
If you've been dreaming of New York-style, boiled-then-baked bagels as big as your head, mosey across the Williamsburg Bridge to The Bagel Store. They've got the cheapest, best bagel sandwich ever (at least according to Jeff Mauro). Try a bacon, egg and cheese bagel topped with bacon bits.
The Lobster Place
Bobby loves picking up lobster from this Chelsea Market spot. In addition to lobster, it also sells 650 varieties of live, fresh and frozen seafood throughout the year. For a quick and delicious seafood-filled meal, try their lobster rolls, oysters on the half shell, or some of the handmade sushi.
The Redhead
At unassuming East Village gastropub The Redhead, seasonal, Southern-inflected food and carefully made cocktails reign supreme. On Triple D, Guy Fieri was blown away by Chef Meg Grace's homemade pretzels with beer cheese. For a comforting main course, try the buttermilk fried chicken or the shrimp and grits.

I'm 26, is blepharoplasty for me? (photos)
Doctor Answers 16
I'm 26, is blepharoplasty for me?
It appears to me that you have some fatty fullness which should be treated with a Tranconjunctival Blepharoplasty. The "dark circles" and pigmentation could be lightened with laser or peel or bleaching cream treatment.
Thank you for sharing your question and photos. The hollowing you are noticing under your eyes is a very common problem that arises with volume loss over time and can also be genetic. Although 26 is younger than average to have such severe under eye hollows, there are treatment options. Filler is usually my first recommendation for my patients with hollowing in this area to restore lost volume and camouflage the fat pad the is descending. Since you have already tried this, you may want to consider longer lasting options. As you mentioned, fat transfer is a great option and can offer significant improvement in your under eye hollows. Pending an in person evaluation, you may be a good candidate for a lower lid blepharoplasty with fat transposition. This entails redistributing the fat pads in order to refill the tear trough. I recommend consulting with a board-certified specialist to gain a better understanding of which treatments are right for you. Best of luck.

Lower Eyelid Surgery May Help
Thank you for providing photos. I'm sorry to hear that fillers didn't provide the desired results. Lower blepharoplasty is often an appropriate treatment for patients concerned about puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. When pockets of fat are the cause, lower blepharoplasty combined with repositioning fat can produce more youthful-looking eyes. The first step is to consult with an experienced, qualified plastic surgeon to learn about all of your options.

Trans conjunctival approach for lower blepharoplasty
The photographs demonstrate herniated fat in the lower lids that are creating the puffiness look. In our practice, we do not recommend placement of fillers around the eyes due to significant complications that can occur with their placement, in addition to the only being very temporary. To permanently remove the fatty deposits in the lower lids requires the lower blepharoplasty procedure performed thru a trans-conjunctival approach with the incision placed on the inside of the eyelid. There is no external incision. A portion of the herniated fat deposits are removed to rejuvenate the eyelids.

Fillers to conceal under-eye bags #plasticsurgery

Tired Looking Eyes in 26 Y/O
The depressions you have are quite classic and usually easily corrected with fillers by a physician who is experienced in treating the area. I do not know what fillers you had or where they were placed, but, for you, at our age, fillers should be the best option. You need a heavy filler like Radiesse or Juvederm Voluma placed under the orbital rim and septum. Make sure you see an expert injector with significant experience in filling this area. (See ExpertInjector.org and plasticsurgerytoday.com/non-surgical/todays-liquid-lift-wrinkle-and-contour-correction/)
I'm 26, is blepharoplasty for me?
Most expert experienced artistic plastic surgeons have a variety of procedures, both non-surgical and surgical, at their disposal to produce excellent cosmetic results in the appropriately selected patient: Botox or Dysport, temporary hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane, long-lasting micro-fat grafts, blepharoplasties, or combinations of procedures. Each has benefits and drawbacks and depends on desired outcome and individual anatomy.
In a patient who has tried fillers without success, a combination of a blepharoplasty and micro-fat grafts will generally produce the best and longest lasting cosmetic result. Following the advice of anyone who would presume to tell you what to do based on limited photos and without taking a full medical history, examining you, feeling and assessing your tissue tone, discussing your desired outcome and fully informing you about the pros and cons of each option would not be in your best interest. Find a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with and one that you trust and listen to his or her advice. The surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Blepharoplasty for lower eyelids
Hello, you will likely benefit from a lower eyelid blepharoplasty. You have prominent lower lid pockets. Fillers are not likely going to help much. You should seek a consultation with an eyelid plastic surgeon to see what long term surgical options you have. In a case like yours, a transconjunctival blepharoplasty with fat repositioning (moving some of the fat to fill the under eyelid hollows) can be very beneficial. Good luck!
Web reference: http://www.drchristopherzoumalan.com/photo-gallery/lower-lid-blepharoplasty/
I'm 26, is blepharoplasty for me?
Your best treatment option is transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat/bags repositioning. It is scar-less, quick healing, avoid eyelid malposition, keeps eye shape, removes the bags and fills in the hollow dark circles area, all at the same time, with long-term results. Other options are fat or filler injection but not best for you, long-term. See an oculoplastic surgeon and following link.
Web reference: http://tabanmd.com/lower-eyelid-blepharoplasty/
Lower lid blepharoplasty or fillers
You have a significant tear trough, but not much fat protrusion. Removal of fat would worsen the appearance - transposition is a consideration, but you might not achieve adequate filling of the tear trough. Your previous trial of fillers may not have been satisfactory if the volume of filler was inadequate. Filler injection with appropriate volume to project the cheek, and Laser resurfacing of the lower lid to gently tighten the skin over the fat pad would improve the appearance. Seek an opinion from an experienced surgeon and injector prior to making a decision. Best wishes.

The two years that we have been up in Oct. has produced nothing. I know that the water temps are changing and have heard talk of the lake turning over. Does the cooler water move the Walleyes? Do the crappie move into shallows like after ice outs? What effect does the lake turning over have or is this something that happens later? I am obviously not up on the fishing this time of year.

Some aid for Minn. bridge victims stalled
By Oren Dorell, USA TODAY
Within days of the Minneapolis bridge collapse Aug. 1, area charities created a fund to help survivors and quickly raised $1.1 million. Almost five months later, the Minnesota Helps — Bridge Disaster Fund has given out only $104,000 to aid individual families.
People eligible to apply for the money complain that intrusive financial questions, onerous bookkeeping that requires applicants to keep track of all expenses and other red tape have created barriers to relief.
"If I have to prove that I'm poor, then I'm not going to go through that process," says Brad Coulter, 44, who was injured while driving with his wife and two daughters when the Interstate 35W bridge collapsed beneath them. "The money wasn't given in that spirit; it was to help people out."
Coulter wants to be reimbursed for wheelchair ramps for his wife, Paula, 43, who suffered a brain injury in the fall. He refused to submit a request when he saw the financial disclosures he would be required to make. The assistance form from the Minnesota Helps — Bridge Disaster Fund requires applicants to provide details of their monthly income and expenses, including rent or mortgage and debt payments.
Katrina sets wary precedent
About 180 people were on the I-35W bridge when it collapsed, sending cars into the murky waters of the Mississippi River. Thirteen people died and about 100 were injured. The Minnesota Helps — Bridge Disaster Fund was created five days later with initial grants from six area charities. Donations streamed in from private businesses and individuals, as well.
Minnesota Helps quickly paid $216,000 to several non-profit agencies, such as Family and Children Services, after the incident. The grants paid for everything from counseling to funeral services. So far, though, only 21 survivors have received aid, according to the Minneapolis Foundation, which administers the money.
Rich Cowles, executive director of the state's Charities Review Council, says the documentation requirements were put in place because of lessons learned from the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina. In the aftermath of those disasters, thousands of people were helped, but headlines were made "when donations went to scams, or when people who were extremely wealthy got contributions," Cowles says.
The fund's two-page application form says relief is available only to immediate relatives of people who died and to people hurt in the disaster who "can no longer afford basic necessities" as a result. It asks for invoices, receipts and proof that expenses are not covered by insurance. Aid for most survivors is capped at $10,000. The fund does not pay victims directly but disburses money to organizations that provide services or pay their bills.
Chris Langer, a spokeswoman for the Minneapolis Foundation, cites Internal Revenue Service regulations to explain the rules.
"There has to be a demonstrated need," Langer says. "Anybody on the bridge doesn't automatically qualify."
Gathering documentation while dealing with medical problems takes time, but another reason for delays, Langer says, is that caseworkers want survivors to figure out their long-term needs and ask for aid once rather than making several requests. Many are waiting to hear what their insurance will cover and what doctors say their long-term needs will be.
Caseworkers say "people are collecting their bills and taking their time and thinking it through, and not necessarily asking for funds immediately," Langer says.
Cowles supports the process of determining need "because there's just not enough (money) to go around."
One victim's frustration
The complaints about the aid process have reached the Minnesota Legislature, which held a hearing about why the fund isn't disbursing money faster.
One woman testified that she was spending money from her retirement account while waiting to complete her application for Minnesota Helps, says state Rep. Ryan Winkler.
"This fund should help people with emergency or short-term financial distress, and it should be able to move quickly," Winkler says. "The fund should … not require you to sell assets."
Winkler has drafted a bill for a state-paid fund that would reimburse survivors for all expenses, including lost wages. Lawmakers are expected to work out the details when they reconvene Feb. 12, he says.
Mercedes Gorden, 31, broke her back and her lower legs were crushed when her car plunged 60 to 70 feet. She has received about $1,500 from the fund to cover a wheelchair ramp and her fiancé's parking and meals during hospital visits. But Gorden has yet to meet with a caseworker to figure out how much more she'll ask the fund to provide.
"One of the things that's kept me from meeting with them sooner is they recommend meeting with my doctors to come up with a number," she says.
The application form "does feel a little intrusive," Gorden adds. She also worries that fundraisers organized for her by friends and family will impact how much money she gets from the fund.
"It shouldn't matter how much money I make. I also had a fundraiser, a benefit concert on my behalf, and that shouldn't make any difference, either, what my friends and family pulled together for me, especially when I'm one of the most severely injured."

Is anyone else in agreement with me? He may be the worst NFL commentator on television (that includes Kornheiser)
I'm not a big fan of the Gumbal family as it pertains to sports and commentary.
No one holds a candle to the suck-ass-titude that is Tony Kornheiser. I would go back to taking Dennis Miller over Kornheiser. Stupidest thing ESPN did was break up the Mike Patrick/Joe Theismann team. I always liked those guys.
[Stupidest thing ESPN did was break up the Mike Patrick/Joe Theismann team. I always liked those guys.[/QUOTE]
Definitely best crew I've ever heard.
If Bryant Gumbel and Tony Kornheiser were paired up in a booth, I truly believe my TV would explode.
They are by far the worst at their respective jobs.
I really like Collinsworth though. I read alot where people don't like him but I think he does a nice job.
Gumbel is bad. It's like he's on another planet or something. I actually start laughing at some of the stuff he says. It's actually pretty sad. I don't know why I laugh.
Kornheiser though is in a different league. When he starts, I find myself wanting to throw things through the TV. It's like nails on a chalkboard. I want to turn the sound down or walk out of the room because he grates on my nerves . . . . . blech :thumbdown: I would prefer to listen to ANYONE other then him.
I agree they both are horrible
ESPN in general has fallen pretty far out of grace.
I miss Mike Patrick more than I miss any of the other commentators. He also had a great command of the play-by-play.
I agree Houston, EPSN football coverage just isn't what it was. I think I preferred when they were Sunday night.
I'll throw my support in that I love Mike Patrick. Here is the highest compliment I can pay him, and he is the only broadcaster I can say this about. Sometimes, I find myself watching a game I have no interest in (not just football, but college basketball too) just because he is doing the play-by-play.
I agree about Mike Patrick. They should bring him back to the booth and can Kornheiser.
and yes, Gumbel sux as an announcer.
I used to work at WNST for awhile as an intern and i spoke to Mike Patrick when i was trying to book him for our show.. He was very nice.. He has some major health issues that might have been the reason why ESPN took him off the NFL beat..

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, November 18, 2015POSTED: Wednesday, November 18, 2015
I currently work for Marketsource it's not a rip off I've been here for 2 years and have been promoted 3 times within those years. It may have just been the person you were dealing with over the phone. But my process was smooth , much like the other people I have brought on board. The recruiter contacted me, set up my interview, I went, got the position, and grew tremendously ever since. Hopefully you'd give it another try. Marketsource is an awesome company.

Often times the communication between departments within the university failed, and some university staff expressed a nonchalant attitude toward student concerns. The professors I received instruction from were skilled through practical experience in the field, and held a rigorous, high standard of expectation for all students. The tuition is substantially higher than a public university, and Heritage is less well known, perhaps still establishing a reputation.

Of course, with a rocky beach, we had to end our stop with rock skipping.
The drive through the park was very nice. There are a lot of pullout areas

The Georgia State University community mourns the loss today of alumnus J. Mack Robinson, the legendary Atlanta business leader, philanthropist and namesake of the J. Mack Robinson College of Business, who died Friday, Feb. 7 after a long illness.
Robinson's connections to Georgia State date back to 1941, when he enrolled in classes at the Evening School of Commerce, now Georgia State, before enlisting in the U.S. Army during World War II. Robinson's career spanned many decades and professional arenas, from car sales to banking and insurance to fashion and horse racing. Known for his entrepreneurial nature and business acumen, Robinson also became known for his philanthropic endeavors.
Robinson's $10 million endowment to Georgia State in 1998 enabled the business school to rise to new heights, becoming internationally recognized for its top programs and faculty, Fenwick Huss, dean of the business school, said.
"J. Mack Robinson's legacy can be seen across the business school and beyond," said Georgia State President Mark Becker. "Georgia State is a better institution for its connection to J. Mack. His dedication to his family and philanthropy should serve as a model to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Robinson family."

In addition to Nita, his wife of 54 years, Robinson is survived by his daughters, Robin Robinson Howell of Atlanta, and Jill Robinson Forsey of San Diego, Calif., a brother, Marvin Lewis Robinson of Alpharetta, Ga., and nine grandchildren.

New Delhi, Nov 1 (UNI) Riding on a brace each by Roberto Silva and Chidi Edeh, defending champions Dempo swamped unfancied Indian Air Force (IAF) 5-0 to advance into the quarter-finals of the 120th Osian's Durand Cup Football tournament here today.
Dempo scored through Ranty Martins (sixth), Chidi(45th, 75th) and Silva (21st, 71st).
It was a mismatch of a tie and Dempo, without India stars Mahesh Gawli, Climax Lawrence, Clifford Miranda and Samir Naik, were overwhelmingly superior and never in trouble throughout the match.
On the other hand, IAF, who are the reigning Delhi league champions, could not get a single clear look at the Dempo goal.
The action began as soon as the match started with Nigerian Chidi blasting a powerful right-footer from outside the box, but the IAF goalkeeper was equal to the task, punching away for a corner.
Ranty opened the account for Dempo from a Chidi spadework. Chidi collected an Anthony Pereira pass inside the box and after getting the better of his marker, essayed a low cross for Ranty to blast home with the goalkeeper standing like a mute spectator.
Silva, who captained the team last year when his side won the tournament, made it 2-0 connecting a pass from Chidi who cut through the IAF defence before sending a flighted ball from near the right touchline for his Brazillian team-mate to slam home with a scorching right-footed volley.
Dempo went up 3-0 at the stroke of half-time with Chidi finding the net. Silva initiated the move, sending defence splitting pass for Pereira who in turn gave it to an unmarked Chidi and the Nigerian side-stepped a defender before driving a low left-footer into the net.
After the resumption, there was no respite for the IAF defenders with several attempts coming from the Dempo forwards. Silva completed his brace in the 71st minute with Ranty sending a through pass for him to shoot home on the run.
Chidi rounded off the tally in the 85th minute heading home a Ranty cross from the right.
In the quarter-final on Novemeber 3, Dempo will take on Air India, Mumbai, who later beat a spirited New Delhi Heroes 3-1 in another pre-quarter final match.
For the airmen, Bashiru Abbas scored twice -- one in each half -- in the 18th and 65th minutes while Samson Singh slammed the third goai in the 71st minute.
New Delhi Heroes, owned by tournament sponsors Osian's, scored through Malswama in the 48th minute.

Blues Land
When you are young, you get asked a lot of questions by adults. "What are you doing with that paintbrush up your nose?" "Why did you eat your entire birthday cake in one sitting?" "How did you get mud all over your clothes?" ("I ran out of hands to carry it with"; "Because it was MY cake"; "I wanted to roll around in mud"). But there is one question we get asked repeatedly throughout our childhood, year after year. "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Because we are young, we always have an answer ready. "Astronaught," you say with vehemence. Maybe in a year or two, your answer will change to be "zoologist" or "ice-cream taste-tester." Whatever your answer, it is usually fanciful, and embellished with all the colourful trimmings of a person who has not yet learned the meaning of the word "limitations."
But the one thing I never wanted to be was a musician. For me, being a musician was not a matter of "want" or "not want"; it was an identity I assumed at birth. Music permeates my memories and seeps through the pores of my earliest consciousness. I remember my first guitar – I was about three. We were living in a small cottage in the country at the time. I remember the flaky white paint of the house, the crunch of the gravel lining the driveway, and the very green grass spreading out towards the hills. There is a photo of me taken around then; I remember the sun shining into my face as I turned towards the camera. My smile is huge, stretching almost to my ears; my hair is a ragged halo around my face. I am holding my guitar. It is a battered little thing, hanging on a piece of yellow string around my neck. I don't know how to play guitar, but I know without question that from this moment onwards, I will always have a guitar around my neck.
There has never been a time when I have not been surrounded by music; I never questioned my unlimited access to the music shops my father ran, or the songs that filled our house most nights. My father lived and breathed music - lives and breathes it still. My two older siblings were the same.
I wrote my first song when I was six. I had two guitars by then; I knew maybe three chords. My father was playing music with my siblings by this time; I was much too young, but, as in the case of younger siblings, always wanted to be included. "When you're older," I was told, "you can play music too." "When you're older, you can work in the music shop too." I was impatient; I wanted to be old too, like my brother and sister. I had the entitled sense of a young prince who knows he will one day be king – who knows that one day, when he is old enough, he will take up his father's crown.
So, as the years passed, I practised. Alone, usually – my siblings were too busy with their own music to do more than teach me the occasional song, and I didn't like playing in front of my father. He never praised my playing – only told me what I needed to improve on. The most I ever got was a thoughtful nod, my father's dark hazel eyes scrutinizing me like a hawk looking down from his perch.
I was never a prodigy on the guitar. I found the strings painful on my fingers; my hands were too clumsy. I often wondered if I would have ever taken it up if it wasn't so present in my family life. It became somewhat of an obsession. I never received formal training; mostly I taught myself. Occasionally I would convince my siblings to show me some chords, a song. My father had one jazz piece that he played quite often. It was called "Blues Land," and was something I never tired of hearing. When I was twelve, I made him teach it to me. It was, of course, far beyond my level of skill. For years I practised it religiously; it became the vessel through which I might win my father's approval. I longed for the day when I would be able to play it with the fluid ease he did. Time and time again I tried to make my fingers dance over the frets like his, memorised it note for note so that my mind could play it back to me, even when my fingers couldn't.
Twelve years later, and I still haven't mastered "Blues Land." I can play it with reasonable skill – enough to earn the occasional smile from my father, or the occasional laughing comment from my brother. "I'm sick of hearing you play that song!" But it has come to symbolise all of my hopes, and the fears I have about them. The hope of achieving the fame and recognition that was beyond even my father's reach; the fear I never will.
I inherited my father's grand ambitions, if not his talent. "One day," I tell myself, "people will pay to hear me play, to hear me sing. One day I will be successful." But I'm realising now that much of this desire to be a "famous" musician has been motivated by an all-consuming need to feel included; to feel that I belong in my family. I only dreamt of fame and fortune so far as to be the means of winning my father's approval. But always there is the crushing weight of my fear. "If you become a musician," it whispers. "If, not when." Perhaps most fearful of all is the question I can't bring myself to answer: If I'm nota musician, will my father ever really see me?
It is an exhausting, confusing thing to be constantly asked – by yourself and others- what you are supposed to be, and why. No matter what my background is, I can't quite believe that everything I love about music is tied intrinsically to a desire to please my father; to belong. I've always remembered that first song I wrote, at age six. It was called "How I love my guitar." And I remember the feeling of holding my first guitar when I was three, and the grin that stretched so wide across my face. And I know that even though a guitar around your neck can be a heavy weight to carry, I couldn't bear it if it wasn't there.
Maybe you don't need anyone's approval to be successful. Maybe Blues Land is a place that you can get to on your own. And when I get there, I will say with vehement certainty, "I don't need to grow up. I am already a musician."

Wait a minute...a Japanese high school kid ran a 2:12 last year...as a HS junior??

No, he's a teacher there. Young, but not that young. Takamizawa ran for Nissin for a year or two then quit last year to take a job at Saku Chosei where he'd gone to high school. He ran in a SC singlet last year and I remember the announcers repeatedly saying that he was not actually a high school student.

text: Residents of Brooklin can no longer take up town matters with a selectman because their town no longer has one. The entire three-person board resigned at a town meeting Saturday.Brooklin residents will tell you the tension among the people working in the town office has been simmering for quite some time now but on Saturday those tensions boiled over. George Eaton is a former selectman in Brooklin and was the moderator at the town meeting on Saturday night. "Well at the begining of the town meeting our select board stood up and one by one resigned effective immediately and walked out on the meeting," he said.Lorna Grant had already announced her resignation before Saturday citing health problems. Richard Freethy and Gerald Gray abruptly resigned. Gray served on the board for four years. "I would have to say the final straw was Friday night this letter that was put out to the public," Gray said, "it was left in the general store by the tax collector. It said a lot of hurtful things about the select board."The letter was written by a town official and it accuses the select board of putting their personal agendas ahead of the needs of the town among other things. One thing that prompted the letter was a proposal by the board to consolidate the tax collector and town clerk into one position. The Selectboard also was interested in hiring an additional staff member to help the selectboard with clerical work. In the letter the disgruntled town official says the selectboard should be able to do their own clerical work. "We felt like there was no way we could perform our jobs without the trust and work in such an atmosphere in the office, that's why we resigned," says Gray.The Maine Municipal Association says that while this situation is not unprecedented it is extremely rare. Now 2 of the 3 selectmen who resigned must sign off to allow a special election to choose a new board to replace them. Both Gray and Lorna Grant have not decided whether they'll sign off on the election. Richard Freethy says he will saying he wants whats best for the town.On Monday people around town were talking about the situation. "It's an awful mess and it never should have got this far," said Brooklin resident Larry Staples, "it leaves the town in the lurch but we'll get through it we always have.""I think it was a little overdramatic," says Brooklin resident Paul Brayton, "if people want to resign they want to resign but the drama was a little over the top."If the selectmen sign off on the special election, folks in town can begin nominating candidates to replace them. The hope is to have a new board in place within 30 days. "We'll make it alright," says Staples, "there's people dying to run I'm sure, somebody will straighten it out I'm sure."

Sunday's OpenSocial Hackathon in London: Details
April 2nd, 2008 | Published in Google OpenSocial
Earlier we mentioned that this Sunday, the 6th of April, we will be running an OpenSocial app develoment hackathon in London.
BT has graciously volunteered to host this event at BT Centre, 81 Newgate Street. London EC1A 7AJ, just across from St. Paul's tube station, and we hope to see you there.
The event will start at 11am and go as long as people can still type. We'll provide all the food you need (including pizza and beer), as well as a strong wireless network and power outlets. If you're an early riser, you're welcome to come from 10am on. You simply need to bring your laptop, design ideas, and maybe even a few friends. The event is totally free.
What's in store? We'll walk through the state of the world around OpenSocial, including major launches by hi5, MySpace, and orkut, and then jump into coding. For those interested, we'll run a tutorial to step through building a simple OpenSocial app. Also, if you have any questions about Caja and Shindig, this is a fine place to discuss those projects.
In addition to Google engineers, on hand will be engineers from Hyves, MySpace, Netlog, studiVZ, XING, and more! who will be able to talk with you about their plans for OpenSocial.
What are you waiting for? RSVP here!
