Easily add clarity & depth to your master using psychoacoustics...
We designed Focus to make one of the mastering industry secrets available to you using psychoacoustics - right out of the box.
Focus takes care of all the wizardry behind the scenes, creating this psychoacoustic processing chain while keeping the effect mono-compatible.
All you have to do is to adjust the filterband to highlight any important elements in your master you want to stand out.
This technique can take your mix into a completely new sonic realm, making your kick drums punch through and helping lead vocals and instruments sit effortlessly in the mix.
- Well guarded mastering secret revealed

- Mastering is the key to giving a well balanced mix the final push to make it stand out. However, many commercial releases seem to have a level of depth and clarity that seems extremely difficult to achieve
Learn more about Focus.
Some of the greatest recordings of all time come from the analogue age, boasting a warm and pleasing sonic character, but how can this be achieved in the digital domain? Simple - use saturation to add harmonics.
Whether you are using a little to add a touch of warmth, or driving the signal hard to create dirty and distorted sounds, saturation plays a key role in every great production.
But not all saturation tools are created equal, and all to often producers find themselves stacking a combination of various saturation plugins, to get the sound they are searching for or control the need.
At SoundSpot we decided that a one stop shop for saturation was needed, and began developing a plugin that would deliver amazing sound quality and character with all the control you need.
The Halcyon boasts a huge amount of control, allowing you to truly tailor the sound of your harmonic saturation. From smooth tape to warm tube and everything in between, the Halcyon can breath life into your productions and make them sound fantastic.

The kick drum is the backbone of many modern music genres, both electronic and acoustic. It's Often times the thing you start with in a new mix, but to get it sounding just right can be a complex task.
A well mixed kick drum has a warm sounding low end, doesn't sound too boxy and pierces through the mix in a very natural way. When designing KickBox, these are the qualities we've focused on, simplifying the mixing process for any modern kick drum.
The KickBox is modelled after analogue filters and separates the relevant frequency ranges in a very transparent way. KickBox can help you get your kicks sounding extremely tight in a matter of just a few clicks.
KickBox can be used directly on both mono and stereo tracks. For most electronic kicks it is best used first or early in your mixing chain. For live recorded acoustic kicks however, it can be beneficial to use a shelving equaliser to achieve a general frequency balance before applying KickBox.
The EQ section of the KickBox has been stepped to target the most common areas of the frequency spectrum, allowing you to achieve precise balanced adjustments in a matter of a few clicks.
Each band has a frequency and db control and can be operated with simple click. The allows you to run through the values without looking at the plugin, so you can trust your ears and not your eyes.
The Q values allow you to zone in on the area you have selected. Value 1 represents the widest band width, with value 4 being the tightest notch.
The compressor has been designed with a completely unique algorithm that has been designed to get your kick drums sounding punchy and clear.
The controls are the same Ratio, Threshold, Attack, Release and Make Up that are found on most compressors, so the workflow remains familiar to the user.
Our new compressor algorithm allows users to drive their kicks like never before, with- out the fear of clipping. During testing, we achieved an RMS level of -5.8 without any distortion artefacts at all.
The limiter has no user editable controls, and will react in the best possible way to the signal being fed into it, so you can spend more time on the compression parameters, until the desired punch and thump is achieved.
- Fast and intuitive workflow
- Analog modeled filters
- Suited for electronic and acoustic kick drums
- Extremely light on CPU and RAM

Ultra smooth stereo imaging for mixing & mastering...
A well balanced stereo image is essential in any mix. It can be a challenge however, to assign the proper amount of space to all individual elements in your mix without stressing your CPU, or to smoothly automate the entire stereo image during mastering.
We designed MSW1 to be an ultra light tool for quickly narrowing or widening any stereo track, with just one control. It is extremely well suited for automation purposes, because the main control, as well as the bypass function, is smoothed out to prevent any clicks or pops when changing settings fast.
The MSW1 is a quick and easy tool for smooth efficient stereo imaging.
- Narrow or widen any stereo track
- Simple 'one knob' workflow
- Smooth bypass function for easy automation without clicks
- Extremely light on CPU and RAM
Learn more about MSW1.
Getting a balanced mix is key to achieving a great master that reproduces well across multiple playback systems. In the past, artists and labels would select mastering studio's based on the engineer and the equipment they used. This was largely due to specific hardware's ability to add a certain character to a mix.
Since the explosion of software based mastering, you would think that these hardware units would be redundant. This however couldn't be further from the truth, with labels and artists alike, seeking that warm & clear character that boutique EQ's provide.
At SoundSpot we recognised that many software EQ's are solely focused on being as transparent as possible and while transparency is certainly a virtue in some cases, we felt that the sparkle and unique character that boutique hardware adds was not being delivered in the software realm.
With this in mind we set out to build a plugin with its own personal character that will truly give a hardware flavour to software mastering.
The Overtone interface has been designed to give the feel of an analogue EQ, which may seem slightly alien to those of you not familiar with using hardware. It may even seem a little old fashioned, but we can tell you that the sound is not the only reason that studios insist on using these units.
When you are deprived of visual information, you are forced to trust your ears and make decisions based on what sounds good, and not what looks like the EQ curves you've seen on YouTube tutorials. As a result you'll get a better mix with less second guessing.

Extremely tight drum recordings & percussion loops in a matter of a few clicks...
Many modern music genres rely on groovy and danceable sounding drums and percussion. But because many drum and percussion loops come pre-mixed with different elements combined in a single track, it can be very difficult to make them work in a busy mix.
We designed Percolate to help you separate and target the snare, hi-hat and percussion parts of such loops, providing you with an easy and fast workflow to create a balanced drum or percussion mix.
Percolate uses analog modelled filters that separate the relevant frequency ranges in a very transparent way, and can be used in combination with our KickBox plug-in to target the whole drum or percussion section in your mix.
- Fast and intuitive workflow
- Analog modeled filters
- Suited for electronic and acoustic drums and percussion
- Extremely light on CPU and RAM
Learn more about Percolate.
A unique mid-side panner for detailed stereo placement...
A well balanced stereo image is essential in any mix. With regular panning however, the options for placing a rich stereo track in the stereo field are limited. Propane gives you the option to pan the mid signal separately from the side signal of a stereo track. This way you can position the mono part of your track in the stereo field as you like, and use the side information to shape the width and stereo image of the track.
Besides giving you much more control in comparison to regular panning, this technique can be used very effectively for compensating for a stereo track with an unbalanced or lopsided centre, or for creative automated and tempo synced stereo effects. Also, it is a very natural sounding alternative for panning a bus reverb.
Propane can be used in combination with the SoundSpot MSW1 stereo widener for full control over the placement of your stereo tracks, and has a similar smoothed out bypass function for automation without pops or clicks.
- Fast and intuitive workflow
- Simultaneous mid/side and left/right separation
- Smooth bypass function for easy automation without clicks
- Extremely light on CPU and RAM
Learn more about Propane.
Thicken your lead vocals in a simple and intuitive way...
Lead vocals are often the most important element in a mix. To get lead vocals to jump out of a mix and not get buried in the music, a technique called 'vocal thickening' is used widely throughout the industry. Usually this technique requires multiple channels and plug-ins to achieve the desired results. When designing VoxBox however, our aim was to create a plug-in that simplifies the vocal thickening process, without compromising on quality. VoxBox helps you widen and thicken your lead vocals in a simple and intuitive way, while being light on your CPU and keeping your mixing chain simple.
- Fast and intuitive workflow
- Advanced vocal stem separation algorithm
- Preserves transients
- Extremely light on CPU and RAM
Learn more about VoxBox.

text: A file image of patrons in an Internet cafe. Malaysians are taking to the Internet in increasing numbers and frequency. Malaysian Internet Exchange (MyIX) an initiative under the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), recently released the official amount of Internet bandwidth exchanged in Malaysia, covering the first six months ofthis year.MyIX Chairman, Chiew Kok Hin says, "For the first six months ofthis year, the aggregated Internet bandwidth consumption in Malaysia increased by 105% to a total amount of 306,970Mbps.""In comparison, the total Internet bandwidth consumption for the 12 months of last year stood at 349,277Mbps. In just the first six months of this year, Malaysia's Internet bandwidth consumption is already almost the entire amount of the year before. This shows how much more Internet data and content traffic is being utilised by both the local commercial and residential markets."Drilling down deeper into MyIX's report, Chiew highlights the month of June this year, during which the nation's Internet bandwidth consumption stood at 61,771Mbps, compared to just 26,032Mbps in June last year, making June 2014 the month with the highest bandwidth consumption in Malaysia. In a related report, market research company IDC Research revealed that the penetration rate in Malaysia for mobile devices has also exceeded 140%. This is attributed to the increase of smartphone users in the country as a result of an effort under the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) known as the Youth Communication Package (YCP) that was rolled out in 2012.Chiewsaid, "The increase in smartphone users, together with the huge popularity of social media has played a big role in the dramatic increase of Internet bandwidth consumption in Malaysia over the last two years. "As technology gets more advanced, we are seeing more and more content-rich sites which have emerged, that requires higher broadband capacities to carry across the type of bandwidth-hungry applications to the consumer. This factor alone is another reason why MyIX sees that Internet bandwidth across the country will continue to increase," he added.Chiew also said that e-commerce is the other contributing factor to the increase of bandwith consumption by Malaysians."We are seeing an increasing number of Malaysians making purchases online from both local and international sites. At the same time, most businesses already have some form of online presence and are conducting transactions in voluminous daily amounts. "The country's domestic market demands are also attracting foreign e-commerce traffic as they vie for the increasing appetite for online purchases amongst Malaysians," he explained.In terms of MyIX's peering partners, Chiew said that Hutchison Global Communications Ltd, Swiftserve Pte Ltd and Telstra Malaysia Sdn Bhd had recently signed on to be connected, or "peered" locally with the Malaysian Internet Exchange. Already, sites such as Google, Facebook, Akamai, Amazon, Microsoft and Twitter are already peered to MyIX. MyIX continuously monitors local traffic bandwidth consumption patterns to identify select international sites that are frequented by Malaysians, and then invites these sites to peer at MyIX so that the site can load faster for local users located in the country."Internet service providers and Internet content providers based both in Malaysia and internationally are welcome to join MyIX to peer with Malaysia's Internet exchange – in order to enjoy the benefit of connecting in a more efficient and economical manner to Internet users in Malaysia," Chiew said.

The mother of a missing teenager has confirmed reports that her daughter was the unidentified teenager allegedly killed by two gang members in a satanic ritual. Genesis Cornejo has been missing since last month, and her mother was keeping candles lit in her absence in the hope of her safe return, but this week brought heartbreak.
Cornejo's mother speaks Spanish and agreed to an interview on the condition of anonymity because of the violent nature of this crime.
She said she first learned Genesis could be in real trouble from one of her daughter's friends, who said that Genesis was being held against her will. Now, her mother hopes the two alleged MS-13 gang members that police say killed her and left her on Sharpcrest in southwest Houston will rot in jail or receive the death penalty.

This is a partial transcript from Hannity & Colmes, June 25, 2003 that has been edited for clarity. Click here to order a transcript of the entire show.
ALAN COLMES, CO-HOST: There's an Associated Press story out today that the Bush administration was slow to approve armed drones to kill bin Laden. And after being told of the Predator drones (search) and they spotted bin Laden three times, in spite of being briefed by Richard Clark, the terrorism advisor of the White House, both in the early part of this administration and the Clinton administration, that the Bush administration did not act on it.
Do you think there's culpability there for not doing something sooner?
SEN. TOM DASCHLE, D-S.D.: Alan, we don't know but it goes to the point that many of us have been making now for a couple of weeks.
Senator Warner called for a full and thorough investigation. I think that there ought be an investigation into all of these issues, and I think that's the only way we're going to find the right answer. It's premature to jump to any conclusions but I do think the American people have the right to know.
COLMES: An investigation into what, specifically? What the Bush administration knew, what they did, intelligence investigation, on what level are you talking about?
DASCHLE: All of the above. The more we know, I think the better we're going to be in making decisions in the future, especially as we consider the use of force, as we consider the use of weaponry in cases like this.
Regardless of what question we're facing, if we can base our decision on past experience, mistakes as well as successes, I think we're going be a lot better off. We can't do that, either at the congressional level or within the administration, if we don't have the facts. Getting the facts is what it ought to be all about. And I'm hopeful that the administration will agree with us on that point.
COLMES: Let's talk about the issues before the House and Senate right now. Has the Bush administration stolen the Democratic view of Medicare (search)? They triangulate it and taken that issue away from the Democrats given the bill that's being debated now?
DASCHLE: Not at all. If we pass anything, it's only going to be because we've had Republican and Democratic support. Obviously, there is a great deal of difference with regard to what we might do. This isn't a bill I would write. But I believe it's a start, albeit very shaky.
All we can do is to take what we can get now and try to build on it in the future. I guarantee you, the American people and especially senior citizens when they see what this bill does are going to demand Congress improve it, fix it, and the Democrats are going to lead the way as we always have with regard to prescription drugs.
COLMES: Republicans are saying because of Medicare, they can't make an agreement now between the House and the Senate to increase the child tax credit for 6.5 million low income families because the Medicare costs will not permit them to do that right now.
DASCHLE: I find that absolutely amazing. We've got $3 trillion that we can provide in tax cuts, including $90,000 this year for most millionaires, Alan, and they say we don't have enough money to help people whose incomes fall below $26,000? They can't find a $400 check for a working family whose income is $25,000? Give me a break.
That just cannot be. And I can't believe anybody would make that assertion.
COLMES: Was the Bush administration lying when they said this was a tax plan that gives a tax break to every American?
DASCHLE: Well, obviously there is a large segment of the population that will not get a tax break. But there's a real credibility gaffe here when it comes to their assertions and the real facts.
COLMES: I want to talk to you about the relationship between you and the White House as it pertains to potential nominees for the Supreme Court.
You've asked for consultation. There's a chance we're hearing now that one or two Supreme Court justices may resign? And has there been a respond? Will there be a dialogue between the Senate and the White House on this?
DASCHLE: We got a letter from Mr. Gonzalez the other day from the White House indicating that he'd be happy to talk to us. Obviously there has been consultation. In fact, Senator Hatch indicated to me just the other day that he was consulted vigorously by the Clinton administration and it sounded like he took some credit for the nominees that were ultimately provided to the Congress with regard to the Supreme Court.
So if it works for the Clinton administration, you would hope it could work for the Bush administration, as well.
We simply want to avoid the contentious, extraordinarily confrontational fight that could occur if we don't have consultation before, instead of after the nomination.
COLMES: Would you be against any nominee that's not pro-choice on abortion?
DASCHLE: I'm going to look at the issues. I don't think that you can make a decision based on just one issue. That's a very, very important matter to many people in this country, especially women. So clearly, that's going to be a significant factor.
COLMES: Will there be a litmus test? I mean, often litmus tests are discussed. And one side will say, well, the person has to be anti-choice, Democrats are saying must be pro choice. Will there be those kind of litmus tests for whoever the nominee is?
DASCHLE: Well, of course, every senator makes up his or her own mind. My view is that what we want is somebody from the main stream, somebody who recognizes the importance of all of these issues, recognizes the priority of women's rights, equal rights, the kind of precedents that we've already established over the course of the last several decades. They need to be protected. We've made great social progress. We need to continue to do so. We hope we can have people on that court who recognize that progress.
COLMES: You mentioned Alberto Gonzalez (search), White House counsel, and his name is floated as a potential nominee. Would he be a good choice?
DASCHLE: I'm not going to comment on any perspective nominee, Alan, because it's premature. But clearly, we hope and we expect that we will work with the administration as these nominations become more a possibility.
COLMES: Will President Bush be re-elected?
DASCHLE: Not if we have anything to do about it. We think we've got some excellent candidates and I think the way things are going right now, we have a real good chance to have someone in the White House in 2004?
COLMES: Any predictions.
DASCHLE: None yet. Other than we'll win.

"Evythng hs bn dn" and other lies
Karen Hines' sold-out solo show Crawlspace is part memoir, part horror story. In a dark, curly wig and sexy high heels, Karen struts confidently around the stage, looking each of the front row audience in the eye, sizing up what kind of real estate stories we have under our belts. "Bad renovation. Noisy tenants. Pests." Finding me in front row centre –twenty six, old clothes, big glasses – she searches my face before saying firmly: "Bad landlord". I am tempted to answer: How did you know?!
"Everyone has a real estate story", Karen says to me over coffee in the Distillery the next day. And her own story is true, right down to the description of the little yellow house she bought in Toronto in 2006.
The antagonist of Crawlspace is a real estate agent who led Karen to believe that "evythng hs bn dn", as the website abbreviation said; The house was supposed to be clean, safe, renovated, and financially safe as houses. Today, Karen's performing 90 minutes of material about her poorly-built home going wrong in every way imaginable. She confesses that every night she scans her audience to see if her real estate agent will be in attendance.
The show began its life in 2015 at the now-closed Videofag in Toronto's Kensington Market. The small, indie pop-up space was known for queer work, edgy live art and storytelling nights. Hines' character in Crawlspace – a heightened, dramatic representation of herself – fit right in with the drag aesthetic there.
At Soulpepper, the audiences are a bit quieter, and may have a different perspective on her subject matter; Crawlspace is framed as a warning for young people too eager to get into the housing market, and it seems likely that Soulpepper audiences are more likely to already own property than the Videofag crowd. But at the end of the day, we all need a home, and we can all imagine the nightmare of having our shelter fall apart around us.
Crawlspace runs until April 15.

Staff Profile: Mimi Warshaw – Operations Services Coordinator
How long have you been at the Young Centre and what has your job consisted of lately?
11 months now! Hard to believe… As Operations Services Coordinator for the Young Centre, the bulk of my job revolves around the space usage. If you're looking to host an event in our spaces, I'm your gal! Though no two days are the same at the Young Centre, and sometimes I help out on weird jobs like folding a 4-foot paper crane.
What kinds of projects have you been involved with outside of work?
I just completed Second City's year-long conservatory which was a blast! And now I am in the process of writing proposals for a performance piece I'd like to remount that focuses on food and culture and how they act to preserve one another. The Universal Dumping looks to explore what each culture's version of a dumpling says about their culture, through a dinner with members of Toronto's diverse food community.
When you're not at work, what are you doing?
I love to cook and I'm an avid cyclist, but for the most part, I spend a lot of time watching theatre, especially comedy. Most nights you can find me plunked in a seat laughing like crazy at the amazing comedic talent Toronto has to offer.
What is a surprised hidden talent?
I can breathe fire. And then I taught my siblings. Now we're like the Partridge Family of fire breathers. My parents are very proud!
What do you love about working at The Young Centre?
For sure it has to be the people. Everybody I get to work with is a joy and a laugh and incredibly supportive! I would work any job if these people were there! That, and OBVIOUSLY the Cruban Sandwich on Tuesdays at the Café.
Staff Profile: Sarah Farrell – General Counsel and Director of HR
How long have you worked at Soulpepper, and what has your job consisted of lately? I've been at Soulpepper since the summer of 2015. I am General Counsel and Director of Human Resources. "General Counsel" is another term for "Director of Legal Affairs". My job consists of all things legal and HR-related for Soulpepper. On a micro level that means drafting and revising agreements, giving legal opinions on things like intellectual property rights, and providing recommendations with respect to regulatory requirements. I am also involved in staff recruitment and evaluation, and in developing and implementing workplace policies and procedures. I'm always happy to chat with Staff about questions, concerns, challenges and accomplishments!
What kinds of projects have you been involved in outside of work?
I'm very honoured to have been chosen to participate in the Federal Cultural Human Resources Council's new 'Talent to Lead' mentorship/leadership program. I just finished a tenure as President of the Toronto Fringe Festival's Board of Directors. Prior to joining Soulpepper I had my own entertainment law practice specializing in theatre, film and tv. In the slightly more distant past I was a cast member at Second City, a founding member, Producer and performer with the Toronto Festival of Clowns, and a Producer and performer with a multitude of other stage and tv shows.
When you're not at work, what are you doing?
I have 2 very active toddlers at home, so I spend a lot of time running around after them! Oh…and I'm taking a painting class, which I was nervous about, but I'm really loving it!
What is something we might be surprised to learn about you?
I studied clown and bouffon for several years with John Turner and Mike Kennard (Mump and Smoot), and Karen Hines (Pochsy, Crawlspace, etc.). I've been told that my bouffon work is "side-splitting" (I can only assume in a good way). I really love making people laugh, it's such a joy.
What do you love about working at Soulpepper?
Everyone laughs at my jokes! Seriously though, I love our team. I get to work with some of Canada's most accomplished, passionate and delightful theatre professionals.

The shaping of Cage: Based on an interview with Michelle Tracey
We caught up with Soulpepper Academy designer Michelle Tracey, fresh from working on It's a Wonderful Life, to tell us about upcoming projects she is engaged with:
I am very excited that the Soulpepper Academy has led to my involvement in the development & production of new work. I've had the opportunity to assist my mentor, Lorenzo Savoini with his design work for Cage, a new devised piece he is creating alongside Soulpepper resident artists Diego Matamoros, Richard Feren, and Shannon Litzenberger. It's inspiring to see Soulpepper's contribution to Canadian theatre move beyond re-envisionings of the classics into new work and new theatrical forms. I'm excited for a non-traditional, non-narrative piece like Cage to be shared with the theatre community in Toronto and in New York this coming summer.
Watching Lorenzo's process of creation, development & realization has been a huge learning experience. Cage encourages audience members to re-experience space, sounds, feelings instead of filtering out things that are often a given: Engaging with so called 'silence' for instance, or paying attention to otherwise innocuous objects through Lorenzo's design that essentially creates a laboratory… of sorts…for the creators to experiment in. For this project: I have built a detailed scale model of Lorenzo's design… which by the way, was exhibited at Artscape Youngplace in the exhibit Toronto Design Offsite Festival: Performance Design (curated by Shannon Lea Doyle) … it's new, it's odd, it's crazy!
Meanwhile, I'm designing two other pieces as part of my Academy curriculum. I'm designing the set and costumes for Imeneo, an opera by Handel that is being put on by U of T Opera Division. I am stoked that Soulpepper allowed and encouraged me to bring this contract into my Academy experience. For Imeneo, I am collaborating with director Tim Albery to create an intimate theatrical experience. We've taken a site-specific approach to the design by placing the audience onstage at the Macmillan Theatre to bring them as close as possible to the performers.
In addition, I'm designing the set for Crawlspace by Karen Hines, a Soulpepper Presents production in the Tank House Theatre (another new work!). Crawlspace is a one woman show about Karen Hine's real experience buying a house in Toronto, and the grave impact it has had on her life. It was first produced at Videofag and has since been performed in peoples' homes. I am collaborating with Karen on a design that will maintain a similar sense of immersion and intimacy. Stay tuned for more details to come!

Q+A with Daniel Brooks
Award-winning director Daniel Brooks [A Doll's House, 2016] is spending six weeks teaching the artists of the Soulpepper Academy. He sat down in the Young Centre atrium with Academy playwright Rosamund Small to answer a few questions about art, process and learning.
DANIEL: I always wanted to be one of those people who were really witty when asked questions. I always wanted to have the perfect quip, and sound really smart. But I'm just not.
ROSAMUND: I'll edit it so you sound like Oscar Wilde.
DANIEL: Thank you.
ROSAMUND: So, to start, what have you been doing with the Academy?
DANIEL: I'm working on Chekhov's Three Sisters with [the Academy]. I'm analysing the play, and asking them to choose scene partners, cook up a scene, then I send them away and they rehearse more and bring it back again for us to work on together. We'll be doing some new scenes today and I'm very curious to see if they start them way ahead in quality of the original scenes they brought me, on the second day of our classes together.
R: If you could pick one idea that you hope the Academy grasp from your teaching, what would it be?
D: I hope they will shed the idea that there is a final product that is to be repeated night after night in performance. You may get to the point, after opening night, where the director has left and there is set blocking, even maybe set gesture. But you [the actor] need be open to the moment, and to your breath, and discover the scene every night. The 'liveness' of performance.
R: You've already worked with my fellow Academy Playwright Sina Gilani, who assistant-directed your production of A Doll's House here at Soulpepper. Can you tell me about what brings you and Sina together artistically?
D: I love working with Sina. He has such an authentic and untainted experience of art. Sophisticated, [and] schooled, but also untainted by any ideologies. He is so unbelievably open hearted in the way that he receives work…theatre….and people.
R: What do you love most about Chekhov?
D: The way Chekhov is able to write with wisdom, about human relations, language, the individual and society, the way he battles with the idea of the time, and the way he orchestrates a play, it's like a symphony. Are you learning from him?
R: From Chekhov? Of course!
D: He's really amazing.
R: What Chekhov would you choose to direct?
D: This really is an interesting time right now to think about what kind of play to do. There are some things happening in the world that are very, very, serious, obviously. So I would have to think very, very carefully about whether it's the time for Three Sisters. But if I were to approach a theatre company about a Chekhov, I think I would propose Three Sisters.
R: Can you share a pivotal educational experience you had in your early career?
D: Working with Philippe Gaulier was very important to me. I attended his two-month workshop in Paris. I studied clown and jeu, and learned a lot. And at the same time in Paris I saw Pina Bausch for the first time. Wow.
R: Who is a Soulpepper artist who inspires you?
D: Diego Matamoros. His commitment, dedication, focus, wisdom around his craft and work, has inspired me. And of course, his talent. I've learned a lot about acting with him, and from him.
R: Anything else you would like to say?
D: We're in the throws of a very serious historical movement [in the world]. And I think – for the patrons of the arts specifically – it's an opportunity to insist that the theatre turn away from box office accounts, and ask some really serious questions about how theatre can engage with the world.
By Rosamund Small
Rose Tuong – On Chekhov in 2017
I've been thinking about why I'm inside of a theatre working on Chekhov's plays and it probably has something to do with the epochal shift in dramatic writing that his work embodies. Goodbye to models of "artificiality"; hello to realist plays that observe and reflect the realness of life in all its stagnancy, humdrum, desperation, humour. Cue Stanislavski with his halo and pioneering acting method (I'd like to have him lowered in by harness to mid-air, centre stage with "Epic" by Faith No More playing in the background. Actually, can he climb out of a giant bundt cake iced with writhing Restoration wigs?).
Dot the i's of your magic 'ifs' and 'inner objects', children, for this is bona fide, grounded no-frills acting and it will blow your mind. A hundred-plus years later much of the values of this aesthetic remain prevalent in our theatres and on our screens… so I guess it's good to know your roots/hunker down with these seminal influences?
In my opinion, canonization isn't merit enough to stage stuff again and again. But it turns out I didn't have to look too far for a different reason that Chekhov's work might matter to me.
The world is kind of nuts right now, no? The word "Trump" summons a maelstrom you hardly need catching up on. The number of ongoing armed conflicts and terrorist incidents in the present and in recent years, months, weeks is hard to grasp when you look at the figures. Brexit and the inauguration of Trump signal a serious shift in global politics. I don't know why it's happening or how it'll affect me or you or them but I have an instinctual sense that things are messed up – not that they weren't before, but that there's a veritable paradigm shift happening right now in the world, a grand portentous tipping of the scales. And it feels like it's going to get messier.
Three Sisters, the play we're tackling right now, is pregnant with a sense of existential foreboding. Chekhov illustrates this eloquently in his typical miserable/lonely/misunderstood/lovelorn characters – some of them feel it more acutely than others but nonetheless, these Russian aristocrats happen to be social casualties of a confused interim. One of tremendous political change. A failed system. A hasty reform that's failing to correct their discombobulated society. To me, their anxiety and hopelessness about the future isn't so far off from what some of us are feeling today.
So the debate between Tuzenbach and Vershinin feels surprisingly familiar and pressing for something written in 1900. Tuzenbach is dispassionately realist, likening humans to birds: "they just fly, fly, fly, and whatever thoughts – big or small – may be going through their minds, they will continue flapping their wings … on and on they will fly, even if some develop a sudden affinity for philosophizing. Let them philosophize all they want, so long as they keep flying." Life is routine and inevitable and the basic lot of people, wanting as it is and in spite of whatever they achieve, won't change. History unfolds nothing new! All your excitement and agitation is tantamount to frivolity! Vershinin's optimism is a cause I'm more willing to champion: "We must work and work … happiness – that will be our gift to our heirs. If not for me, then for my children's children."
It's a dichotomy that's revealing itself more and more inside my social circles in relation to anti-Trump outpourings and protests. My natural instincts force me to think critically about these times and to define my values and the measures I'll take to stand by them. So acting in Three Sisters is a strangely complementary outlet to the profound convictions I'm being forced to confront as a young adult in North America right now – especially considering the characters' largely complacent attitude towards their fortunes and their disappointments. I'd like to think I'm not like them.

Steve Bannon Has Been Fired
President Donald Trump has informed his staff that he has decided to fire White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, according to a report by the New York Times. The report claims that a source close to Bannon stated that Bannon had planned to resign on August 7, but his resignation was delayed due to the turmoil in Charlottesville. However, this may be just spin by the Bannon camp, given other reports that said Bannon had personally intended to stay, and was indeed fired after an internal review. Keep Reading


text: Okay since mid october I have been battling a P0014, at the time it had a P0017, and a P0128, those two have gone away. I have replaced the VVT 2x with a dorman and still got the code, so I broke down and got an ACDelco from the dealership, two weeks ago and replaced it. I have changed the oil twice since October. I have also replaced the thermostat which was stuck open, camshaft sensor last week, replaced the crankshaft position sensor and took it to a shop to do the CASE relearn ( which he didn't charge me for)? The mileage on the truck is about 127,000. I put off an oil change which really gummed up the original VVT. Right now there is STP 5w30 and stp filter. Added Seafoam to crankcase and waiting for about a hundred miles or so to rechnage the oil. Then after that I guess its a dealer or shop unless I can get it figured out. Thanks, in advance.

Max Mosley, president of world motorsport's governing body (FIA), said he would stay away from this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix after he was warned off attending by the boss of Formula One after lurid claims about his private life.
Mosley was pictured in a British Sunday newspaper allegedly participating in an orgy with five prostitutes dressed as Nazi guards.
Bernie Ecclestone, a longstanding friend of Mosley's, said the FIA supremo's presence in the Gulf state would distract attention from the race and would not be appreciated by the country's ruling royal family.
"He shouldn't go, should he?," Ecclestone told Tuesday's edition of The Times. "The problem is, he would take all the ink away from the race and put it on something which, honestly and truly, is nobody else's business anyway."
Asked how the Bahraini royal family might react to Mosley's presence, Ecclestone said: "They wouldn't like it."
The News of the World published photographs Sunday which showed Mosley, 67, who has headed up the FIA since 1991, spanking and being whipped by five call girls.
He was also shown brandishing a whip and wearing ankle chains.
Mosley refused to step down on Tuesday, but said he would stay away from Bahrain Grand Prix so as he could mend fences with his family.
The 67-year-old son of pre-World War II British fascist leader Oswald Mosley claimed had been the victim of a covert surveillance operation orchestrated by unknown enemies of his so as to force him to resign his post.
Mosley, who has been president of FIA - an unpaid role - since 1993, said he will take legal action against the perpetrators of the covert action.
He apologized in a statement for any embarrassment caused to the organization and its members.
Fascist past
Mosley's father Oswald Mosley was a friend of Adolf Hitler and led a British fascist party in the 1930s which led to him being interned by the British government during World War II.
Jewish representatives accused Mosley, who is one of the most powerful men in world sport, of insulting the victims of the Holocaust.
Edie Friedman, the director of the Jewish Council for Racial Equality, said: "It's quite disturbing behavior especially given his history. He should definitely apologize."
British racing great Stirling Moss, whose father was Jewish, said Mosley had no choice but to resign.
"I suppose what goes on behind closed doors is his business but when a thing comes out like this... it's an absolute shocker," Moss said.
Ecclestone distanced himself from growing calls for Mosley's resignation.
"What Max should do is what he thinks is right because it is only him that's involved, not the FIA," said Ecclestone. "He must do what he believes, in his heart of hearts, is the right thing."

I would like to take my other half out for a birthday meal in Washington DC in April. We are staying in a Downtown hotel, so somewhere that's easy to get to from there.
I would like somewhere with superb food and a good atmosphere, preferably where we would be required to dress up (and boy, do we Brits dress up). Alternatively, something special or quirky - say by the river or with city views would be good.
So far, so good, but we are both vegetarians - no meat, no fish and want a menu where we will have some imaginative choice (spinach and ricotta canneloni need not apply), of 2 or 3 main courses.
Paying around $150 for both of us (with 2 x bottles of wine), but prepared to pay a lot less for the right place!
All you chowhound's fabulous advice gratefully anticipated.
Many thanks

The impact of the new IAEA transport regulations for the safe transport of radioactive materials on package design and transport
In April 1985, the 1985 Edition of the IAEA Safety Series No. 6 (SS No. 6), Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials, was issued. This is a completely revised edition which will come into force internationally in the late eighties. The "Regulations" are regulations only for transports performed for or by IAEA. Otherwise the "Regulations" are recommendations. They do form a strong basis for all international transports of radioactive materials (RAM) by all modes. International regulations, like the IATA Restricted Article Regulations, incorporate the IAEA-Regulations (IAEA-Regs.) for the transport of RAM. The same applies widely to national regulations. Due to many changes it is important to know in time which will be the major changes and impacts on future package design and RAM transportation. There are "Grandfather-Clauses" included in SS No. 6, but it is only about 3 years until the new Regulations will come into force for international transport. After the expiry of the grandfathering the Regulations will apply in full. New approval of existing casks will be necessary.

Website Design
If you're building a website or want to update your existing website and you decide to hire a designer to help you can quickly get overwhelmed. There are thousands of Web designers. How do you decide what makes one designer better than another designer?
Most people will tell you that the most important thing is experience. A designer who doesn't have a lot of experience, they'll tell you, can't give you the quality that an experienced designer can. I don't agree. While experience can be useful, it can also be a drawback. Just because a designer has less experience doesn't mean that he or she can't build a beautiful site for you.

So, in this video, I discuss ways you can drink more water even if you're forgetful 🙂 Watch it now:

Now legendary, the film has been referenced and homaged to an extent matched by few other recent films. It's a classic story: Greedy Phildadelphia commodity brokers Randolph and Mortimer Duke (the inimatable Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche) bet the sum of $1 on a "scientific experiment," namely that they can depose their successful managing director Louis (Aykroyd) and replace him with a common street bum named Valentine (Murphy).

It is always best to answer all questions honestly. Some people have difficulty remembering all of their symptoms and limitations.
It may be helpful to keep a diary of all of your symptoms and problems for a week. (You will be surprised how long it gets!) Then you can create a list for yourself with all your symptoms and limitations. This can be helpful to look at when filling out forms or talking to your doctor.
Some people also find it helpful to have a friend or loved one look over the questions on the forms with them. Sometimes we don't even notice all of our own symptoms and limitations, or we have a hard time admitting how difficult things have become. A friend may be able to help remind you about things you forgot.
These questions are asked on the forms you fill out when you first appeal. If you already sent in your forms, and you left something out or regret your answer, you can follow up with more information. It is best to do this in writing and/or discuss this with your lawyer. How to Submit.
🌞 Do You Have Any Side Effects from Medications?
Side effects can be very important in disability cases. Make sure to list all your side effects and how they keep you from being able to function. Also, explain these to your doctor and check if they are listed in your medical records. Side effects can by physical (i.e. fatigue, headache) or mental (i.e. difficulty with focus, memory and concentration).
🌞 Are Your Working?
Answer honestly. If you are earning under $1,170, you are still able to apply for Social Security, but it may be more difficult to get approved. If you are self employed, or you were self-employed in the past, they will consider the amount you make after business expenses and deductions. Please see these Special Notes for People Who Are Self-Employed
🌞 Do You Have Any New Medical Conditions?
If you left any diagnosis off the first time, list them here. It is recommended to include on these form all conditions that affect your ability to function in any way. It can be especially helpful to include mental health, depression and psychological struggles, even if these are not your primary condition. Most people are approved for a combination of conditions and for many people mental health can be very important in their case. Sometimes this is the difference between getting approved and getting denied.
🌞 Do You Have a Mental Health Diagnosis?
Even though I just told you to list mental health, I should also let you know that there are two drawbacks: 1) If you are also applying for disability through your employer, mental health may cause problems, please read more. 2) If it turns out that mental health is one of the conditions you are approved for, Social Security will expect you to stay in mental health treatment for as long as you are on disability.
🌞 What is the Contact Information for Your Doctor?
It may not matter too much what you write here because Social Security is not going to collect your medical records at this point.
🌞 Do You Have Any Remarks?
Write down if you are any of these things: Homeless, Veteran, Terminally Ill. Request that your case be flagged as a priority case for homeless, veterans, or terminal illness. In some cases, these applications can be processed more quickly. It is OK to leave the remarks section blank.
🌞 Do You Have Anything to Add?
Some people attach personal letters or statements about their illness and history. Some lawyers think this is a great idea and some lawyers think this is a terrible idea. I personally do not recommend doing this, because these letters can be used against you, but in some cases they may be some help to your case. It is much more important to focus on getting a good letter and good records from your doctor.
🌞 Why Can't You Work?
You may also be asked some form of this question by the Social Security doctor or by your own doctor. Let them know if there are any medical reasons you cannot work. Examples of medical reasons include limitations in sitting, standing, walking, lifting, or memory and concentration. More examples can be found on the physical and mental RFC forms. Social Security regulations state that you must be medically unable to work. It does not matter if you can't work for other reasons.
🌞 What Activities Do You Do?
Disability lawyers recommend that any time you mention an activity, you also explain if there are any limitations you have or if there is any way that someone assists you. It doesn't matter what this activity is: brushing your teeth, feeding your cat, cooking a meal, reading a book. It is also helpful to mention any devices you use (shower chair, cane, walker, etc). You won't be asked to fill out a form at this point, but all the suggestions on this page can still help you: How to Fill Out an Activities of Daily Living Form
🌞 What Are Your Limitations? How Long Can You Stand/Sit/Walk?
Some disability lawyers recommend to answer this type of question by describing your worst day. You can do this by starting your sentences using the magic words. The magic words are "When my symptoms are severe…" Or "On days when I have bad symptoms…" Learn more: How Roselyn Got Approved by Using the Magic Words
🌞 Do You Take Care of Children or Pets?
They are not asking you if you love your children. They are asking you if you can hold down a job as a nanny. Tell the truth. If you are caring for children, it's a good idea to include if there are any activities you need help with, anyone who assists you, any activities you cannot do, or any activities you cannot do as well as you did before you became disabled.
🌞 Why Can't You Do Sedentary Work?
You may not be asked this question directly, but it is something you should ask yourself and keep in mind. If you are under the age of 50, your file will need to show that you cannot do full-time work of any kind. If you are over the age of 50, your file will sometimes (but not always) need to show that you cannot do full-time work of any kind. This means you cannot be a ticket taker, a laundry folder, a file clerk, or a telephone operator.
🌞 What Were Your Past Job Duties?
When you first applied you filled out a work history report and answered this question. If you are under the age of 50, this is unlikely to matter. If you are age 50 or over, it is a good idea to look through and make sure your answers about job duties and job titles were complete and accurate and will help your case. If anything is missing or unclear, you or your lawyer may be able to submit updated or additional information. Learn more about: How to fill Out a Work History Report. Learn more about Correcting Your Work History.
Questions You May Be Asked at Other Times
🌞 Can You Manage Your Own Finances?
You may be asked this by your doctor or by the Social Security Doctor or by someone who works at Social Security. Your answer can have a big impact on the rest of your life. It is up to you how you want to answer. If a doctor writes that you cannot handle finances, then after your case is approved, you will not be allowed to manage your own disability money. You will need to select someone you trust to handle your disability money for you, or social security may appoint someone. To learn more about this google: social security representative payee.
