You read the whole appeal and all you see is that I didn't mention "faith alone" by 'grace alone.' - To street-preacher? You think he doesn't KNOW THAT? You make sure you foolish foolish men that you NEVER mention repentance without mentioning faith and grace from now on, and word everything correctly and leave nothing out - on that you will be judged and mercilessly.You aren't even aware that you are not accusing me but accusing The Word of God of NOT wording things the way you want it worded!

John the Conqueror, Black Stars
1100 Chestnut Street
Philadelphia, PA, 19107
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
For a band with so little pretense, sometimes it can be easy to forget just how much the respected DC quartet Lionize has accomplished since their inception in 2004. From being the first band to play both Bonnaroo and the Vans Warped Tour in the same year to their five full-length albums to virtually non-stop touring year after year, the groove-heavy rock group has dared to do more than most bands could ever hope to accomplish. On the release of their most recent album, Superczar and the Vulture, produced by the famed J. Robbins and their first on Pentimento Music Company, the band showcases their live sound in a way that they have never done before, allowing the listener an unprecedented look at the experience of hearing the songs played live in front of them.
"Superczar was the first time we were really intent on capturing the sound of the band live. We had done so much touring in the interim between records that our style had begun to change quite a bit," says bassist Henry Upton who established the group in 2004 with vocalist/guitarist Nate Bergman and keyboardist Chris Brooks. Drummer Mel Randolph completed the current line-up when he joined the band in 2007. Upton goes on to explain that on the new record, "our influences crystallized and we had a greater sense of identity… we also tried to create 'song suites' for the first time on this record, where there's 10-15 minutes of uninterrupted music, something more ambitious than we'd done before. It's definitely the most complete, distinct Lionize record so far."
Doubtless, the band's long tenured members and extremely heavy touring schedule have contributed to the evolution of their distinct brand of dark reggae-infused rock. "Having the same group for so long has led us to be able to open things up musically. We get along shockingly well," muses Brooks. "Touring has a way of making you a better player at your craft, and as a band. It has allowed us to build a reputation for ourselves as being a great live show and really cutting deep into improvising," says Randolph. All of this makes it obvious that for the members of Lionize, music is not only a passion but an integral part of who they are. "We really are just 4 guys who get together in a basement and jam. Whatever comes out of that is where we will go. As a band we never really try to discuss the direction of the sound or songs, we really just play what we think is the grooviest and heaviest jam we can, and let the music take us forward," claims Bergman.
This straightforward approach embodies the hard-working, every-man ethics that are at the very heart of Lionize, and has led to both critical acclaim and an ever-growing fan base for the band. Bergman continues, "The shows keep getting bigger, and the tours get better. More and more people continue to spread the word and come out." Chimes in Randolph, "Our fans are very loyal. They range from their mid-teens to upwards of their late 40s. It's cool having a wide spread of generations as fans of our music."
Yet as they grow, long-time fans of the band have nothing to fear. "As cliché as it is, the more things change, the more Lionize seems to dig its heels in and make the music we want to, the way we see most fit," says Bergman about their fierce, uncompromising nature. But you can always guarantee that no matter what, the guys will continue to create a powerful sound uniquely their own. Affirms Randolph, "Crowds will hear the name 'Lionize' and kind of expect more of a straight-ahead reggae style from us, but there is a lot more to our sound. We're always mixing it up, and making it funky!"
With their heavy touring continuing throughout the foreseeable future, one can be assured that Lionize's incomparable sound will only continue to grow stronger with each show and audiences will persist in being impressed by a band which, as one critic said, makes even the most notable musicians "shake their heads and wish they'd thought of that."
In December 2010, Mike sold his bass and bought a drum kit. Pierre bought a cheap microphone and plugged it into a practice amp. Like their good ol' days growing up in Jackson, Mississippi, they were playing the blues! Within weeks of forming their two-piece juke group, they met Ryan Lynn. The friendship came immediately and once Ryan picked up the bass, the music quickly followed. By combining musical elements from the genres they loved, the songs poured out in an inspired fury. Only three months after meeting, they chose the name of the folkloric slave hero, John the Conqueror, and took to the stage playing their own blend of the southern rock from their childhoods, the punk of their adolescence and the blues and soul they had always held closely. With a little help from the fabled John the Conqueror magical powers, Patrick Boiselle (Alive Naturalsound Records) signed the eleven-month-old group after seeing a video of the first song they'd written, "Ain't Comin Home."
With their October 2012 self-titled release, John the Conqueror resurrected a forgotten tale and added to that mythos. Blues Matters! Magazine (UK) says, 'This debut is dependable, solid and timeless.' About the lead single, Brian Mansfield of USA Today writes: 'Time To Go: This raw, bluesy old-school soul track is just one of many gems on this Philadelphia trio's debut album.' Vinyl Under Review adds, 'John the Conqueror's music is loaded with attitude, but not a speck of pretension. This is no frills, from the gut rock and roll and the impact is immediate.'
Recently, the three returned to Retrocity Studios to record their second album. "Once Upon A Time" will be released in 2014, and if they have a little magic left, the world may yet know the legend of John the Conqueror.
"Black Stars are proof that rock music is fun. Now is the time to catch this band at a live show — they are young and raw, and loud, and electrifying, and a little insane, and probably only going to get more popular. I think they are a band to keep an eye on."
-S.B. Hider
"Black Stars defy ordinary. Four young men from Marlton, NJ are devoted in starting their own renaissance in the Greater Philadelphia area. Here music can be upbeat, groovy, and sexy. Here, music still moves."
-Stefan Schultz
"These guys are good musicians and they clearly enjoy playing together in a supportive manner without a lot of interfering ego, and that combination is unusual, electric and compelling."
-S.B. Hider
"From surreal to animated, melancholy to gratifying, this Philadelphia-based funk-rock band creates music that displays all emotions of not just the human mind, but of the human soul."
-Angela Weeks
Black Stars is a band lead by singer/guitarist Nik Greeley and was formed in the late summer of 2010 with his good friend and bassist, Freshy. Black Stars have built a reputation for putting on a very exciting, high energy live show, with a style steeped in Rock, Funk, Soul, Psychedelic and Alternative.

AMSTERDAM – The agent for US captain Carlos Bocanegra reports that his client's temporarily delayed move from Rangers to Racing Santander gained league clearance on Friday evening.
The defender's loan deal had been on hold since last Friday's transfer deadline day, when he completed the arrangement near the witching hour. Scottish media speculation raised the possibility that Bocanegra could be returned to Rangers due to Santander being tardy in registration with the Segunda División office, but it has now been determined that all necessary paperwork had been filed before the transfer buzzer.
"Carlos has gained clearance for the loan move to Racing Santander," Bocanegra's agent, Lyle Yorks, told MLSsoccer.com. "He will be available for selection when he returns [from US duty]."
Bocanegra, who is preparing for Friday's CONCACAF World Cup qualifier in Jamaica, will get his first chance to suit up for Racing when Recreativo Huelva pay a visit on Sept. 15. Winless in three thus far this season, the Highlanders will travel to Huesca on Sunday.

Infosys has had a string of misses last few quarters and again disappointed on Friday with Q2 results barely in-line with street expectations and a deeper cut in full year EPS guidance. But even as the street was crunching the numbers, it sprang a surprise by announcing that V Balakrishnan, its CFO, would be giving up his post from Oct 31.
Moneycontrol Bureau
Infosys, India's leading software services provider, has had a string of misses in the last few quarters and again disappointed on Friday with second quarter results barely in-line with street expectations and a deeper cut in full year earnings per share guidance.
But even as the the street was crunching the numbers, the Bangalore-based company sprang a surprise by announcing that V Balakrishnan, its CFO for last six years, would be giving up his post from Oct 31.
Rajiv Bansal, currently VP - Finance, who the company says is very well groomed under Balakrishnan, will now be the head of finance from November.
While Bala (as he is called) will stay on the company's board, he will be responsible for three businesses -- Infosys BPO (business process outsourcing), Finacle (banking software product) and India Business Unit.
Bala has been considered as one of the contenders for the top job at Infosys in future, especially since the shock exits of K Dinesh, who was a co-founder of the company and Mohandas Pai, director HR, last year.
So while Bala has been grooming his successor to head the finance department, is the company grooming him for the CEO's job?
"Bala is one of the finest CFO in the country. He has led his team in setting new standards in financial reporting, corporate governance and compliance. A top performer, he successfully managed a high quality financial model, which has withstood the pressure of the current economic downturn. Given his belief that younger people should get strategic opportunities to shape this company, he has voluntarily given up his CFO position and instead chosen to focus on Infosys BPO, Finacle and the India Business Unit," Kris Gopalakrishnan, executive co-chairman points out.
Gopalakrishnan adds that Rajiv Bansal, the CFO designate, has been a "very bright star" in the finance department. Bansal has been with Infosys for 13 years and has been heading the finance function with Bala for last four years.
But there are also Bala's critics in the market, who say, he has been slow in opening the purse strings to buy companies, despite Infosys having over USD 4 billion in cash and cash equivalents.
Shibulal insists that the businesses that Balakrishnan is going to are a strategic part for Infosys.
"If you look at BPO, it is growing much faster than Infosys average. If you look at India, we have entered India only in the last 4-5 years and we are seeing very good traction, very different kind of business. The kind of business, which we do in India is very system integration oriented. Lot of government work, which he has been doing extremely well, and Finacle is very much in line with 3.0 strategy. The 3.0 strategy is all about increasing products and platform space. So the portfolio, which Balakrishnan is handling, is very strategic for Infosys," he told CNBC-TV18.
Analysts too agree that Bala will now get a much wider and stronger role within the company. He will now be overseeing 30% of the company's business and all the businesses that he will be heading are expected to grow at a faster clip.
But Bala is not the only contender for the top job. BG Srinivas who is also a board member and is the head of Infy's Europe business and global head of financial services and insurance vertical is another person who some feel will get the top job in the next management shuffle. Ashok Vemuri, who is the head of Americas and global head of manufacturing and engineering services, is another candidate who could one day get the top job.
Shibulal himself has mentioned Bala, Vemuri and Srinivas in an interview with CNBC-TV8 in September, when asked about his likely successor in 2015.
Who will finally get the job is anybody's guess. The decision will be ultimately taken by the nomination committee. But one thing is clear that the person, who next becomes the CEO, will be the first non-founder to take up the job in Infosys' history.
Infosys has always been driven by founders, starting with NR Narayana Murthy. Shibulal took over as CEO from Gopalakrishnan last year and will be the last of the founding members in the driver's seat.

Google's announcement last fall that it would be making health records available online touched off a flurry of concerns about patient privacy in the digital age. Now MIT researchers have developed a piece of software that will help to assuage doubts about how sensitive information is protected. A research group that included CSAIL principal investigators Peter Solovitz and Bill Long has developed an open-source software package "to allow researchers to accurately de-identify text in medical records in a HIPAA-compliant manner.

Sabres fall to Detroit in Prospects Tournament final
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — The Buffalo Sabres' reign as champions of the Prospects Tournament came to an end in Monday's tournament final against the host Detroit Red Wings.
Anthony Mantha scored twice on the power play to stake Detroit to a two-goal lead and then assisted on what proved to be the game-winning goal midway through the third period during the Red Wings' 4-2 win.
The loss means the Sabres finished the tournament 3-1 overall.
Buffalo, which won the event the last time it was held in 2011, received third-period goals from Frederick Roy and Peter Trainor. But Tomas Jurco's empty-netter with 26 seconds left foiled the Sabres' comeback hopes. Zach Nastasiuk also scored for Detroit.
Nathan Lieuwen finished with 36 saves for Buffalo, which was outshot 40-25.
The Sabres entered the final having scored 16 goals in their first three games, while the Red Wings came in having yielded only four over that same stretch.

Round 5 of the summer competition is really seeing some great touch being played. Eventhough it has been hot players are still enjoying their games. Sunscreen is available in the canteen in case anyone has forgotten to put their sunscreen on before their game. The canteen fridge is full of water, and other drinks to cater for everyone's tastes so please support this if you can.
Rule of the Week.
On the defence try line the defence cannot pull out of a touch within the 5 metres. The touch must be made on the attacking player/s. A penalty will incur if this happens. Also when the defence is on their defence try line the defence must keep going forward towards the attacking play even if it is small steps. A player cannot remain stationery. A penalty will also incur if the defending players do not do this.
Referees are also reminded that if you cannot carry out your duty it is up to you to find another referee to fill in for you. The draw is in the paper each week and on our website so there is plenty of opportunity to find out when you are on duty. Team contacts should also be aware of when their team's referees are on duty and make sure they are available.

With the season series at 1-1, a playoff tiebreaker could be riding on tonight's rubber game between the Orlando Magic and the Toronto Raptors at Amway Arena.
And stand-ins, not starters, could help decide postseason seeding. Injuries and illness are factors in the story line, leaving this question to ponder: Who's at a bigger disadvantage -- the team (Orlando) that could be hampered at point guard or the club (Toronto) that is without its all-star big man?

Women who were victims of sexual abuse at the hands of Roman Catholic clergy when they were children can submit their reports to the Deetman Commission from Tuesday.
Their reports will form part of a new inquiry by the commission, which so far has limited its inquiry to the abuse of young boys in Catholic boarding schools and seminaries.
The women have until 1 July to submit their reports.
"The independent inquiry will focus on the sexual abuse of, and psychological violence against, under-aged women in the Roman Catholic Church between 1945 and the present day," a spokesperson said.
The commission, led by former government minister Wim Deetman, is carrying out its inquiry at the behest of parliament.

Sixth District Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann officially filed for re-election today. After handing over campaign papers to Minnesota Secretary of State staff, Bachmann told reporters she thinks her history of speaking out against what she believes is excessive government spending positions her well for election to a third term.
"I've been going against the tide because I've been fighting the Obama administration on all of their out of control spending," Bachmann said. "This is what people don't like: They didn't like the bail out. I voted against that. People didn't like the trillion dollars in stimulus spending and I voted against that. People didn't like the huge government take over of health care and I voted against that also."
Bachmann is one of the more visible members of Congress because of her frequent media appearances and travels throughout the country speaking to conservative groups.
Democrats accuse Bachmann of neglecting her Minnesota constituents to curry favor with national audiences.
Two Democrats, State Sen. Tarryl Clark and Dr. Maureen Reed, are running in the August 10 primary for the Sixth District seat. Neither Clark nor Reed had filed yet for the seat as of Monday morning.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama said once again Saturday he will act if Congress doesn't "to bring back more of the good jobs" lost during the Great Recession.
During his weekly radio and Internet address, the president spoke of his visit this week to a Raleigh, N.C., company "that helps make electric motors that save businesses money on energy costs and cut harmful carbon pollution."
He said the visit, coupled with a stop at North Carolina State University, is "part of my push not only to make America home to more high-tech manufacturing -- but to make America more attractive for the good jobs that a growing middle class requires."
"And increasingly, we are," Obama said. "Thanks in part to our all-of-the-above strategy for American energy, for the first time in nearly two decades, we produce more oil here at home than we buy from the rest of the world. We generate more renewable energy than ever, and more natural gas than anybody. Healthcare costs are growing at their slowest rate in 50 years -- due in part to the Affordable Care Act. And since I took office, we've cut our deficits by more than half."
The president said the economy is "primed to bring back more of the good jobs claimed by the recession, and lost to overseas competition in recent decades," and repeated that he is willing "to work with Congress this year on proven ways to create jobs, like building infrastructure and fixing our broken immigration system."
"Where Congress isn't acting, I'll act on my own to put opportunity within reach for anyone who's willing to work for it," Obama said.
"I firmly believe that this can be a breakthrough year for America. But to make that happen, we're gonna have to act -- to create good jobs that pay good wages, and to offer more Americans a fair shot to get ahead."

I've been looking for a new guitar for a while, and I'm beginning to love smaller guitars. They're more comfortable to play, IMO, and I prefer the sound over the boomy lows you get out of jumbos or dreadnoughts. The problem is, most places around me dont carry any decent small bodies. I've played a few that i really like, but they're more than a little out of my price range. I've never had a chance to play all the ones that seem perfect, in theory. Can i get some opinions on these? Other small types i should check out?
Martin 00015M (I actually played a used Martin that seemed like a really old one of these. Sounded great, but it was extremely worn and i wasn't sure if it would be worth the money.)
Gibson Blues King (This one is out of my price range. I was planning saving up for it, but i'd like to get a nice guitar before college next year, and if i had $2K lying around it would go to tuition.)

Internet penetration is growing by leaps and bounds, and the region's youth population increasingly prefers to interact with companies and retailers over the internet rather than with more traditional forms of physical shopping and communication.

The Electric Daisy Carnival expanded to three full nights when it moved from LA to Las Vegas last year, and in turn more than 230,000 dance music fans flooded the fields at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. How do you top that?
The answer: turn this year's installment into a celebratory week. That's exactly what event producer Insomniac is doing, with "EDC Week" events leading up to the three-day (June 8-10) fest.
Details for one such event were announced today—the Bassrush Massive, going down at the Orleans Arena on Thursday, June 6. The dubstep and drum & bass-devoted event includes acts that are playing EDC (Datsik, Knife Party, Bassnectar, Excision, Noisia and Fury), along with a few that aren't (12th Planet and Sigma).
Tickets to the 18-and-over event go on sale Monday at noon, and more EDC Week events should be announced soon. Stay tuned to lasvegasweekly.com for all the updates about June's impending EDM awesomeness.

The Economics of Wine - Introduction
To coincide with the 150th anniversary of the famous Bordeaux Wine Classification of 1855, the Centre for Policy Evaluation at the University of Nottingham sponsored a special session at the 2005 RES Annual Conference on the economics of wine. The 1855 classification was completed as part of the Paris Exhibition of the same year as a temporary means to determine which Bordeaux wines would be exhibited. The classification took hold, and is still in use today. In celebration, this Feature explores how economics can add to an understanding of wine production and wine markets.

The Comedians Of Chelsea Lately are coming to the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, NJ!! They will also be stopping by the Theater at Westbury in Long Island this Saturday…
Typically when Chelsea is doing one of her stand up tours, she leaves her "little nugget" at home! This time Chelsea is the odd man out and Chuy will take the stage live and in person serving as MC and host for both evenings.
So how would you like to go? Well, here's the deal – all you have to do is wake up with Jim & Kim this morning (3/25)!!! They have a pair to give away for the Saturday show and Heather will actually do the same on Friday during your workday!
And you know I'm a SUPER HUGE FAN OF ALL THINGS "LATELY!" So, I'd love to have a Belvedere, lemon and seltzer w/ you on Friday night if your going to the Wellmont Theater show in Jersey.
If not – "SHUT YOUR FACE" and listen to FRESH today and tomorrow to win a pair for the Saturday show in Long Island!!! The line up for this east coast leg of the tour features Jo Koy, Whitney Cummings, Chris Franjola and of corse the aforementioned Special Guest Chuy Bravo!!!

Here's a little taste: MUSIC NUGGET 9 – page 70
"Attention DJ's: Just because you can hit play on your ipod doesn't mean you're a musician. Last time I checked you can't replace Sammy Hagar in Van Halen with a Shuffle feature. Note: You can replace him with Gary Cherone, but it will be terrible."
And Chelsea's got her own tour which will be stopping by Radio City Music Hall in May in support of her new book "CHELSEA CHELSEA BANG BANG" (which I have already read cover to cover – lol).

Driver 2: Back on the Streets (named Driver 2: The Wheelman Is Back in North America) is the second installment of the Driver video game series. It was developed by Reflections Interactive and published by Infogrames. A port to the Game Boy Advance was released in 2002, being developed by Sennari Interactive.
Driver 2 expands on Driver's 3-D, free-roam structure, as well as adding the ability of the character, Tanner, to step out of his car to explore on foot and commandeer other vehicles in the game's open world environments.[2] The story missions are played separately from the Take-A-Ride Mode where the player can explore the cities in their own time.
Missions in the game are generally vehicle-oriented, and involve trailing witnesses, ramming cars and escaping from gangsters or cops. A cutscene is shown prior to almost every mission to help advance the storyline, and thus the game plays rather like a Hollywood-style car chase movie. Although Tanner can leave his car and interact with certain elements of the environment, all violence takes place during pre-rendered scenes.
While the original PlayStation version offered a two-player split screen play, the Game Boy Advance version introduced a four player link option.[2]
The game begins with an introduction showing a man named Pink Lenny and a tattooed Brazilian talking in a bar. Lenny is telling the Brazilian a story about how he really scared someone one time ("You should've seen the look on the guy's face"). Suddenly, two men burst in with guns and kill everyone in the room, except for Lenny, who slips out the back.
Later, undercover police officer John Tanner, recruited by the FBI after arresting Senator Ballard, and his partner, Tobias Jones, examine the body of the Brazilian at the morgue. The police captain informs Tanner and Jones of Lenny's disappearance and of the only witness of the attack. Tanner and Jones apprehend the witness, who tells them that the gunmen weren't after the Brazilian but were after Lenny, who is actually a money launderer working for Solomon Caine, one of the high ranking mobsters of Chicago whose empire goes from Chicago to Las Vegas.
However, Jones suspects that the Brazilian was working for Alvaro Vazquez, another high ranking mobster who is one of Caine's rivals. If Lenny was talking with the Brazilian, he may have switched sides. Tanner and Jones investigate a warehouse owned by Vazquez, but it turns out that the police were raiding the warehouse and Tanner and Jones split up to escape the cops, though not before discovering that the forged documents in the craters came from Cuba.
When Tanner returns to his apartment, he is hit in the face by an assailant (one of the shooters from the bar), who escapes down the fire escape. Tanner gives chase, but it turns out it was a trap set by Caine, who believes Tanner is a hired thug (Not remembering him from years earlier) trying to take over his business with information from Lenny. While Caine's bodyguard, Jericho, drags Tanner away for execution, Tanner hits him in the face and escapes Caine's compound. Meanwhile, Jones gets the Brazilians after him by his own investigations; this, along with Caine becoming aware of Tanner's pursuit of Lenny, force Tanner and Jones to flee Chicago. On Tanner's suggestion, they head for Havana to follow the Cuban shipment trail.
Tanner and Jones learn that Vazquez is using Havana as the frontier for his arms operations, and plans to use Lenny's contacts to flood Chicago with guns and take over Caine's business. Tanner and Jones hinder Vazquez's arms operations in Havana, and also discover that Lenny is going to be leaving the city in a ship called Rosanna Soto. Tanner attempts to intercept the ship to arrest Lenny, but he is too late.
Afterwards, Tanner learns from Jones that Jericho has arrived in Havana and plans to kill all of Lenny's men at a hotel in Central Havana. Tanner and Jones follow Jericho to the hotel, where Tanner is unable to prevent Jericho from killing the men, but nonetheless rams Jericho off the road in a chase. Tanner and Jericho then form a truce, hiding from the Brazilians and head to Vegas to meet Caine.
Las Vegas[edit]
When Lenny arrives in Vegas, he is greeted by Vazquez, who is overseeing the arms shipments and is taking over Lenny's contacts after Lenny's failure in Havana. Tanner, Jones and Jericho arrive in Vegas and meet Caine. Tanner infiltrates Caine's gang by telling Caine that Jones and him once worked for Lenny but were betrayed and want revenge. Caine assigns Jones to track down Lenny while Tanner will use his driving skills to assist Caine's Vegas operations.
Tanner completes the tasks given to him by Caine, including delivering a car bomb to Vasquez's casino in Vegas and assisting Caine's henchmen in a bank robbery. Jones, infiltrating Vasquez's mob, discovered that Lenny has left Vegas and Tanner had to transport him to the airport (after shaking off a police ambush and subsequent chase). Caine then had Tanner disrupt Vasquez's operations by destroying his main front in North Vegas, and destroyed the trucks containing Vasquez's weapons. Caine and his henchmen brutally interrogates one of the Brazilian guards and learn that Vasquez (and Lenny) are in Rio.
Tanner, Jericho, and Caine meet Jones in Rio, despite Jones telling Caine that it is too dangerous for him to be in the city. Caine dismisses his warnings and only concern himself to find Lenny. Tanner still uses his driving skills to assist Caine and disrupt Vasquez's activities, such as ramming a stolen bus into the Brazilians' cars and tricking the Brazilians into giving Tanner cash for Caine.
Around this time, however, Tanner is worried that Jones's cover is deteriorating and that Vasquez will figure out that Jones is supposedly working for Caine. Tanner only gives Jones four days to find out the information where Lenny is before Tanner heads off to destroy a boat transporting Vasquez's weapons to Chicago. Jones later calls Tanner, telling him that Vasquez has sent a gunman to kill Jones, forcing Tanner to save him. Tanner arrives at Jones' place to find him wounded and the gunman still lurking around. The gunman flees and Tanner rams him off the cliff of the coastal route.
With time running out and Vasquez losing, Caine finally found out that Lenny is attempting to escape Rio. Tanner is forced to pick up Jericho before heading to Lenny's location. The two manage to shoot down the helicopter Lenny is in when Tanner reveals his true colours to Jericho. Leaving Jericho behind, Tanner chases Lenny's helicopter through the streets of Rio while evading Caine's henchmen. The helicopter finally crashes and Tanner quickly disarms Lenny before beating him to submission.
Jones and Tanner escort Lenny back to Chicago and hand him over to the police captain seen in the introduction. When the police captain asks Tanner what the connection was between Caine and Vasquez, Tanner only replied: "Took me a long time to figure that out". It is revealed that the two had been affiliated in the past and are shown to have reconciled with each other before the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio.
As Tanner drives away from the airport, a car starts to follow him.
A wide variety of cars can be found throughout the game. They are based on real life cars like Chevys, Fords, GMC and more. All the cars can be driven and there are also hidden cars around the cities that can be found. A unique feature about the cars is that hubcaps will fly off. The hubcaps fly off less than in the previous game, which makes it more realistic.
Driver 2 includes four cities, which are notably larger than the original game. The cities are Chicago and Havana, which are both immediately open for 'TAKE A RIDE' mode; Las Vegas, which can only be accessed once missions are complete for the first two cities; and Rio de Janeiro, only accessible after completing the Las Vegas missions. The cities all have secret cars hidden within them, which become available once the player finds the buttons to unlock the entries to where the cars are located and then approaches the cars to unlock them. The cities include many of their respective landmarks, such as the Navy Pier, Field Museum of Natural History, Buckingham Fountain, Harold Washington Library, Willis Tower, Marina City, Wrigley Building and Wrigley Field in Chicago; Havana's Plaza de la Revolución, José Martí Memorial, Hotel Nacional de Cuba, FOCSA Building, La Cabaña, Castillo de la Real Fuerza and El Capitolio; recreations of the hotels on the Las Vegas Strip including Luxor Las Vegas, Excalibur Hotel and Casino, New York-New York Hotel and Casino, Paris Las Vegas; and the Corcovado, Christ the Redeemer and some other known landmarks of Rio.
The game was first released on the PlayStation video game console and was later ported to Nintendo's Game Boy Advance.[2] Because the game was so long, and cutscene graphics were somewhat advanced for that of the PlayStation era, the game was released on two discs. The first disc contained data for the first two cities, and the second disc contained data for the last two cities.
The GBA version was significantly condensed from its counterpart on the PlayStation, due to memory limitations. Of the four cities in the PS1 version (Chicago, Havana, Las Vegas, and Rio de Janeiro), only Chicago and Rio de Janeiro are present, and the storyline is simplified to just these two cities, either omitting the other two cities' missions or transplanting them into the two that actually appear in the game.
In-game cinematics are replaced with slideshows that feature a text crawl for dialogue, with occasional sound clips (such as gunshots or police sirens) added for atmosphere. The graphics are also rendered in polygon shapes, with tiny, simplistic 2D sprites for pedestrians. Certain animations such as Tanner going in and out of vehicles are also omitted, and a number of AI scripts, such as roadblocks that appear when the police chase the player, are axed. However, the police still utilise voice clips from the PS1 version when chasing Tanner, even using dialogue in Portuguese for the police of Rio de Janeiro. The licensed music is also replaced with a number of instrumental tunes composed for the game.
In a move similar to the first game, Driver 2 featured a soundtrack reminiscent of typical 1970s car movies, containing instrumental funk and boogie tracks as well as more popular songs by artists and composers, to further emphasise the retro feel of the game. The original music was composed by Allister Brimble.
Background music for each city seems to match both with the car-chasing movie music and the predominant music styles of each city, for example, Havana BGM seems to be influenced by the Son cubano, Vegas BGM sounds with influences of North America's Western music and Rio BGM is influenced by samba, bossanova and Forró.
Cars in the levels themselves have approximately 5 or 6 seconds of looped music, in Chicago it is Rock/Electro Beat style, Havana is Jazz-funk, Las Vegas is Funk/Soul and Rio is Drum & Bass.
The licensed songs featured in the game (as listed in the credits) are given below:
- "Fever" by Dust Junkys- The first cutscene in Las Vegas with the trucks pulling into the gas station.
- "In the Basement" by Etta James- in a bar in Las Vegas where Tanner and Jones shoot pool.
- "Help Me" by Sonny Boy Williamson- Tanner arrives back at his apartment and confronts Jericho.
- "Sitting Here Alone" by Hound Dog Taylor- The opening scene of the game at the Red River bar.
- "Just Dropped In" by Kenny Rogers & The First Edition- Plays over the end credits of the game.
- "Lacrimosa" by Mozart- The climactic scene in Rio at the base of the statue of Christ the Redeemer.
The game received "mixed or average reviews" on both platforms according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[18][19]
GameSpot concluded that the PlayStation version of Driver 2 is "an extraordinary game".[12] GamesRadar said, "it's not the fastest wheel screecher on the market but still impresses."[20] Happy Puppy said the PS version "offers more of the same things that made the original a great game" but added that it "doesn't push the series much further."[21]
In a mixed review, IGN described the PlayStation version as "one of the most disappointing games, if not the most disappointing game, of 2000".[15] Hot Games asked, "How could Reflections screw this up so bad? Driver 2 is a pale reflection (har har) of the original."[22]
The game's PlayStation version received a "Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA),[23] indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[24]

One-Point Perspective Drawing
This photograph of a New York City street in the early 1900s comes from Dale Abalos' site, Architecture on the Web. It represents a type of perspective called One-Point Perspective. One-point perspective and two-point perspective drawings are shown below. Compare their appearances and features:
Two-point perspective gets its name because there are two vanishing points: one on the left and one on the right. This is the most common type of perspective used in architectural drawings and in artwork. It is what we usually see in the real world or in a photograph. There are two sets of "vanishing lines," one to the left vanishing point (VPL) and the other to the right vanishing point (VPR). Lines that are vertical on the real object appear as vertical lines on the drawing.
In one-point perspective, however, there is only one vanishing point (labelled just VP) and therefore only one set of vanishing lines. In the place of the second set of vanishing lines we have a set of parallel horizontal lines. Lines that are vertical on the real object appear as vertical lines on the drawing, as they did in the two-point perspective drawing.
In the photo below of the Eurostar, the first direct passenger train to connect Brussels and Paris with London via the Channel Tunnel, we see a train and railroad track disappearing into the distance, an example of one-point perspective:
Read all the technical details on Clem Tillier's excellent Eurostar pages. One-point perspective is also often used for Interior Design, to draw the interiors of homes or offices.
To illustrate two-point perspective as seen in a photograph, the Vanishing Lines have been drawn to the Vanishing Point in the picture of the New York city street:
To draw a box in one-point perspective, first draw the front of the box as a rectangle, using horizontal and vertical lines. Then choose a point to be the vanishing point. Draw lines radiating out from the vanishing point and passing through each of the four corners of the front of the box, as shown in step 1 below. The dotted line would actually not be seen if the box were solid, so we normally don't draw that edge. Then draw a horizontal line to represent the back top edge of the box, and a vertical line for the back right edge as shown in step 2 below. The dimensions of the box can, of course, be anything you like.
You can draw many different things in perspective, using the techniques described above for a simple box. A castle, for example, would be made up of different shaped "boxes": prisms, pyramids, cones and cylinders.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - They've eliminated the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Why not vanquish the No. 1 seed from the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs as well?
The Washington Capitals are a win away from accomplishing as much, riding a 30-save performance by Braden Holtby to beat the New York Rangers 2-1 Wednesday night at the Verizon Center.
The series-deciding seventh game of the conference semifinal will be played Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Alex Ovechkin again didn't get the kind of ice time he is used to, but he demonstrated the skills and determination that have made him so valuable as the Caps' captain. Ovechkin opened the scoring, hustled, blocked shots and had a scoring chance in the third period when he was sliding toward the Rangers net on his butt. He would have had two goals had he not hit the crossbar in the first period.
This after Ovechkin didnt have a shot on goal in Game 5, just the second time in his career that has happened in the playoffs.
He is our leader, he is our captain, so he should be doing that out there, leading by example, and he did tonight, Capitals forward Troy Brouwer said. He got on the board early, had a couple big body checks and making sure his presence was known out there. He is working hard. He knows in tight situations he is not the guy we look to, but if we need goals, he is going to be on the ice every time.
Ovechkin played a total of 15 minutes 14 seconds and acknowledged he wanted to make a statement.
I think everybody did, Ovechkin said. Its not about me, it is about everybody. Of course, I am going to do my best.
We dont want to stop playing and finish the season. We knew we could beat them.
Washington will need that kind of effort from their best player again on Saturday. Has Ovechkin bought what coach Dale Hunter has been selling? Certainly looks that way.
If Holtby was rattled by the Caps' collapse late in Game 5 Monday, he left those nerves back in Manhattan. The 22-year-old didn't have to be spectacular, but was solid, square in his crease to meet just about every Rangers shot and steering aside each with confidence.
Holtby has gone 29 consecutive starts without losing back-to-back games, including the regular season.
Now, the Rangers have to worry about being ousted by the Caps, who started the post-season as the No. 7 seed in the East.
Jason Chimera also scored for the Capitals, who are 4-0 in Game 6s since 2008 when facing elimination.
Marian Gaborik scored for the Rangers with 50.5 seconds remaining.
The Rangers didn't have a raft of great scoring chances with Jeff Halpern serving a double-minor in the second period, but Holtby had to be sharp to make a toe save on defenceman Dan Girardi. Naturally, the crowd of 18,506 roared as Halpern scooted out of the box.
Washington took a 2-0 lead at 10:59 of the second period. Alexander Semin didn't get an assist, but it was his strength on the puck behind the Rangers net that got the play started.
Semin held off defenceman Marc Staal, even falling at one point, but didn't lose the puck. Eventually, John Carlson's point shot was deflected slightly by Nicklas Backstrom, and the puck went to Chimera.
With Henrik Lundqvist committed to stop the Carlson shot that never arrived, Chimera tapped the puck into the open net.
Ovechkin opened the scoring at 1:28 of the first during a Washington power play, his 30th goal in his 50th playoff game.
We knew they were going to come out hard, Girardi said. It was a tough start. We tried to play from there (after the first goal). They worked hard, put a lot of pressure on us.
Its going to be a hard game (on Saturday). Were lucky to have the Garden faithful behind us.

Cincinnati Reds minus-115 vs. Los Angeles Dodgers: $345 to win $300
Through 10 weeks, the Dodgers are one of the worst bets in the league. If a hypothetical gambler had bet $100 on every one of their games this season, that gambler would be down more than $900.
That's the second worst return for any team in the National League. Down nearly $300 on the year using the same criteria, the Reds are no gold mine themselves.
But Cincinnati isn't perpetually overvalued like the team that everyone had pegged as World Series favorites in the preseason. Tonight's series opener at Great American Ballpark exemplifies the issue.
The Reds trot out a pitcher on the rise at home to start against one on the decline coming from two time zones over, and yet the game is virtually a pick'em.
Los Angeles starter Dan Haren, 33, surprised many with a strong beginning to the season, but he's shown signs of wear and struggled in recent outings. Cincinnati's ace prospect Tony Cingrani, 24-year-old, hasn't been great since coming off of the disabled list either but he seemed to improve in his last start and said he felt back to normal for the first time.
Dating back to last year, Cingrani had been quietly sensational before the minor shoulder injury. He's not stuck with a difficult assignment in outdueling Haren.

BD: Can you tell us your name?
CZ: My name is Colleen Zeiler.
BD: Where are you from?
CZ: I grew up in this area. Alan, Saskatchewan, Canada and I live down in Granbury Texas right now. I'm here visiting my parents and we frequently come out to this cemetery and the other cemeteries in this area, to visit grandparents, relatives.
BD: And what cemetery are we in?
CZ: This is the Selz cemetery. We're about thirteen miles south of Allan. And this is my great grandmother's grave site. She died when my grandfather was twelve years old. And she died of TB and that kind of left my grandfather and about five other children on their own. Until he remarried a lady from South Dakota actually, well from North Dakota also. Sort of a contract marriage and moved up to this area again.
BD: Where did she come from?
CZ: She came from the Selz area in Russia and my grandfather also and of course their farm is just approximately about two miles from here and other relatives also in the area. They also have two children, buried at the other end of the cemetery. Two young boys that died in childbirth or as very young boys.
BD: When they came over here, were they married?
CZ: Yes. They were already married and just trying to start
BD: Well you can tell me that in the sentence then that they were already married?
CZ: Yes, that they were already married [laughing] are we stopped now?
BD: We just keep rolling.
CZ: Actually, I'm trying to recall that now that I'm looking and thinking back on history but I, I believe they were married yes. In fact, I know they were because they had to take a train and they had to stay with some neighbors and the neighbors were a little nervous and hesitant about them and I think they made them sleep on the floor. And so when they finally warmed up to these people, saw they were no threat and they were more comfortable with them and then at that point my grandfather went ahead, great grandfather, and built this home. So they were married at the time.
BD: How far away was the farm from the cemetery here?
CZ: About two miles straight west. Maybe not even two miles probably about a mile or mile and a half.
BD: Now you recently came from an event that featured the other side of the family didn't you?
CZ: That's right we were at the Vetter reunion and it was held 17 miles east of Linton, North Dakota. And we had approximately 1400 cousins there and this all started with a couple whose names was Valentine and Francesca, Francesca Vetter, and they were from the Strassburg area of Odessa, Russia. They came to North Dakota originally started in the Hague area and then moved to this area near Linton. They came with seven children, and two of these children were daughters that eventually married young men from that area. And then of course these two daughters moved to Canada. One of the daughters whose name was Margaret Vetter married John Wenniger, and that's my tie to this family. And the other daughters name was Juliana and she married Ludwig Schmaltz, and they moved to Beiseker near Calgary. And so of course the Canadians were represented and we all went down and were part of this reunion and had a great time.
BD: Let me ask you more about the reunion but do you happen to know after the daughters moved up to Canada, you know that time, the tremendous distance, did they ever get to see their family again?
CZ: Rarely. I think I did read somewhere that they might have taken one or two trips back in that whole time and when you think about that pretty amazing and almost devastating to think that you might never see your family again and distances were great at that time with no modern transportation.
BD: Why don't you tell me a little about what happened at the reunion, just give me an overview.
CZ: Well as you drive into this family site the reunion was held at the old family farm where Valentine and Francesca lived. And we were celebrating the 100th anniversary of the wood frame house that they lived in. As you drive over the hill you can see this wonderful view of camper's tents and motor homes that are situated out in the pasture and this is where most of the cousins stayed. And as you approached in you registered and you would see this as well they had ah, and they had managed to locate a huge circus tent and this is where they held all their activities and mass and dances at night. It was just pretty amazing we had of course Catholic mass every morning, polka parties and dances, beer gardens. During the daytime they had programs going on in the tent that consisted of mock-weddings, fashion displays, showing how the fashions were 100 years ago. Wedding costumes over the years and accordion music, lots of accordion music. And those types of things, so there was a lot of entertainment going on as well a lot of people were just going out meeting cousins visiting each other's motor homes and campers. And really forming a bond.
BD: Is it really easy to meet people I mean you go up and say I'm your third cousin?
CZ: It is its very easy and everybody is really
forthcoming in that respect. You would think nothing of going
up to somebody and telling them who you are and examining their
face to see if there is some common feature that you might look
a like. We actually have a sort of a little family joke that we
all say that there is the Vetter nose and some of us have more
of it than others and some really have it pretty bad. But that's
another little thing you look at and there's no hesitancy
people are very warm and of course the North Dakota people are
very warm.
BD: Where did people come from, how far away?
CZ: Well it ended up I think from about 25 states and six Canadian provinces. Some as far as Anchorage, of course myself and other cousins came from Texas. Some near San Diego, Atlanta and of course the majority are still near the family area, you know Bismarck, Linton, Napoleon and those areas of North Dakota.
BD: What was your favorite part?
CZ: My favorite part, gosh that's a tough because I love to dance and I'd have to say the polkas were always my favorite part. But I think the mass and the service at the cemetery this year were more touching than I've ever noticed it at the last reunion. Maybe it was the music or the sermons or the ceremonies in general but I would have to think that was pretty touching, sometimes you felt like you were all choked up it was an emotional time.
BD: And you have been to these reunions before?
CZ: Yes we only had one and it was in 1988 and that of course is this Vetter reunion that's were talking about and we call this area Vetterville now, Vetterville USA. But the Vetter families and the Gross families and the other cousins on July fourth have a big celebration every year at the same location.`
BD: And who did the history of your family?
CZ: I would say Brother Placid Gross probably is the, I call him the guru of our family. He is knowledgeable and I remarked to him that he must know everybody there and everybody would know him. He is really the, founder of it all.
BD: Is it mind-boggling when you walk and realize how many people know each other?
CZ: It is, it is and actually it's a little bit mind boggling because the Canadians don't know the Americans as well and they haven't been up her to know us as well. But when you see so many people gathered under a tent and you realize that your all related it's unbelievable.
BD: Do most of the people know the history of the family?
CZ: I would say most of them do, of course the young children and the young teenagers maybe are not as well informed. But they have the slide shows that Brother Placid has organized and with the accompanying ethnic music and if you don't know it by the time you've gotten there its your own fault when you leave if you don't know it.
BD: Do the people in the US, do they know how far the Vetter family has reached, do they know about the Canadian branch?
CZ: They do, uh although coming to Canada seems to be an obstacle I think for most of the North Dakota cousins. When we tell them really how far it is, you know a 10-hour drive or a 12-hour drive at the most; they realize it's not such a big deal. But when you think of another country it seems like going off the edge of the world.
BD: Do you think that they would find the terrain, the cemeteries familiar?
CZ: Oh yes I think they would, the iron crosses; ah you know just the symbolic meanings that the cemeteries carry is just the same.
BD: And the landscape?
CZ: The landscape sure, the same basic kind of crops, hilly areas, respect for the land just even the lack of litter and trash that people throw out. People have more respect for the land in the northern states and in Canada.
BD: Let me ask you one question that you might not be able to answer. What city is that over there? Is that where we came from?
CZ: Yes, that Allen. Allen, Saskatchewan. And of course the Allen pot ash mine is right behind it. And if you look of this way in the distance you'll see Kolanzi pot ash mine.
And uh, probably you can't see from here too much else in regards to cities or towns.
BD: Well I'm surprised that's pretty noticeable.
CZ: Yeah right, were a little bit up here and it's gonna be about 13 miles
BD: Ok I think we can do the, were ready to roll.
CZ: Well my name is Colleen Zeiler and I am the great grand daughter of Margaret Vetter. Who was the daughter of Valentine and Francesca Vetter who actually is the couple on this afghan. And they of course came to North Dakota from Strassburg Russia in about 1888. And this year we had our second annual Vetter reunion in which we celebrated honoring their existence and the legacy they have given us. Plus we've honored the 100-year anniversary of this house up on the corner here, this wooden frame house. As well at this reunion we also found out that there were two sod plots and they sod was actually blessed by a priest at our Mass and everybody was given a sample piece of dirt, this sacred ground we call it. Uh this afghan was made and it was helped in responses to help defer costs of the reunion. And you can see there is many items of importance on here. To start with, we've got the Canadian flag and the American flag and that is because when this couple came over with their seven children. Two of their daughters married men and then moved to Canada and that brought in the Canadian wing into the family. So the reunion honors the Canadians and the Americans and every morning at the reunion they would raise the flags for both countries and have the national anthem played for both countries. Ah we have the Grotto which the Vetter cousins have built and it's on the hillside near Vetter Ville, which is where we had the reunions. Down below on the left we have the Saint Joseph's Church which was burnt I believe in 1954 burnt down but the cemetery remains. We consider it a family cemetery but really there are a few other members that are not family that are buried there. And of course on the very right bottom corner it shows the farmers using the oxen to work in the fields and it represents our family as a farming community and people of the land. And then the state of North Dakota where all this really happened and took place. This reunion was really magnificent we had about 1400 cousins that showed up and this really is a memorable piece of equipment that will be cherished by all the cousins. The rosary you see surrounds Valentine and Francesca and their faith is of utmost importance to these people and of course it is seen here with that rosary. And I personal don't think I've seen a family that ah considers their faith and their thankfulness to God in as many activities as this family does.
BD: Were they married in Ukraine?
CZ: Yes. In Strassburg and came over as an entire family. Actually, I think one or two of the sons may have come over ahead of time and but basically as a family. And even one of the children was a niece that was adopted because her parents had passed away so they sort of had a little extended family that they raised.

Ronnie Dunn Concert Interrupted by Fire Alarm Scare
Ronnie Dunn made quite a lasting impression at his 'Green Nights' benefit concert Saturday night at Nashville's historic Franklin Theatre. Halfway through the Brooks and Dunn hit 'Ain't Nothin' 'Bout You,' Dunn and his fans were interrupted by the blaring of the venue's fire alarms. Though the country star and his band finished their song, they did heed the warning to exit the stage until the venue could be deemed safe and fireless.

Crown of God
The crown of God is constantly being woven by the angel Sandalfon from the prayers of Israel. It bears the Tetragrammaton on its front. It is multi-hued, reflecting the many different prayers humanity collectively offers to God (PdRE; Zohar).

I recently watched an interesting lecture on YouTube delivered by Dietmar Eberle at the 2013 World Architecture Festival in Singapore. Eberle is the principal of the Austrian architectural firm Baumschlager Eberle. During his talk he referred metaphorically to Weekday Architecture and Sunday Architecture. The former are the places where we spend most of our lives, the places where we live, work, and shop. The latter, by contrast, are the special buildings that we use on weekends: museums, concert halls, casinos, and of course places of worship. In the past, "Architecture" was synonymous with Sunday Architecture, churches, civic monuments, royal palaces. Weekday Architecture was left to vernacular builders. By the early twentieth century, architects had made inroads into Weekday Architecture, and they were designing housing, factories, and department stores. The early modernists went so far as to try and abolish Sunday Architecture, with the result that it was often hard to distinguish a city hall from a warehouse. Today, it feels like we have moved in the opposite direction: we have abolished Weekdays—as if every day could be Sunday. Sunday Architecture is what the public expects, what the media covers, and what the schools teach.
The newly completed Oculus in Manhattan is not just misnamed (an oculus is a round opening, not a slit) it is misconceived. It is not a question of design, or execution, or cost, but rather of the entire concept. Does a daily commute really require this level of architectural rhetoric? Even if this were a substitute for Penn Station, it would be a dubious proposition. It made sense for our forbears to celebrate long distance train travel, when railroad terminals really were the "gateways to the city." Today, that is no longer the case. Even air travel has become a mundane, everyday affair. just look at how plane travelers dress—for comfort, not for distinction. This does not mean that an airline terminal—or a train station, for that matter—needs to be banal, the equivalent of architectural Muzak. But maybe Scarlatti rather than Wagner is in order? I recall my first experience of Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, some thirty years ago. It was a comfortable relaxing (and quiet) place, just right for the jet lagged intercontinental traveler. Does the weary commuter really need Calatrava's over-heated hoopla? I think not.
The announcement of the seven finalists for the Obama Presidential Library in Chicago is puzzling. First of all, why such an announcement at all? It has become common practice for museums and concert halls planning new buildings to draw out the architect selection process to the max. First the announcement of a competition; then revealing a short list; then the unveiling of actual designs; then the finalists; and finally—drum roll here—the winner. This process is calculated to generate the maximum amount of media coverage and publicity to assist in fund raising. This appears unnecessary—not to say unseemly—for a presidential library. Moreover, is a design competition really the best way to chose an architect for such a personal building? Obama should be choosing an architect, not a design. (An architect who understands that a presidential library is about the President, not about the architect.) But exactly what is the President looking for? The bewilderingly heterogeneous list (choose between Renzo Piano and SHoP, or between David Adjaye and Williams & Tsien) offers no answer.
Monacelli Press has issued a new monograph on the work of Robert A. M. Stern Architects—one of a continuing series. This one is titled City Living, and it describes urban apartment houses, more than thirty of them. RAMSA is an eclectic firm, but the architectural style of these apartment towers is consistent, what New Yorkers call "prewar," that is, pre-WWII. It appears that everybody wants "New York prewar" for the book describes built work not only in the major American cities—New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Boston, Atlanta—but also in London, Moscow, Toronto, Lima, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Taipei. And why not? The upper-middle-class New York City apartment building of the 1920s remains the acme of civilized high-rise, high-density urban living. It successfully mediates between the street and the skyline, provides a sense of character that reflects—but does not overwhelm—its communal function, and gives the designer the freedom to lay out interesting unit plans. If you must have pencil-thin towers, and this disturbing building type seems unstoppable, then RAMSA's 82-story 30 Park Place on Church Street in Lower Manhattan seems better than the alternatives.
Architects such as Norman Foster, Frank Gehry, and Zaha Hadid have been commissioned to design luxury yachts, but it is cruise ships that beg for an architect's touch. In fact, these maritime behemoths already resemble buildings—very big buildings. Granted their designs are generally banal, but it is easy to imagine them styled by high-fashion architects. This would solve another pressing problem. Every city seems to want an iconic building designed by a starchitect. Now they could lease a floating icon instead of saddling themselves with a potential permanent eyesore. One can imagine the waterfront of Dubai, or London, or Chicago, as a maritime parking lot with the latest architectural glams. After several years, when the shine begins to fade—literally as well as figuratively—the icon ships could sail off to a lesser urb, Glasgow, or Riga, or Lagos; even an impoverished city could afford a Nouvel or a Piano for a month or two. Since the current architectural icons are largely placeless, they are perfectly suited to such a nomadic existence. At home everywhere—and nowhere.

New Canaan's community television station, Channel 79, is temporarily out of service due to technical problems, a station representative told the Advertiser.
The station, which posts up-to-date information and weekly programs, including live broadcasts of government meetings — both on TV and at nctv79.org — has been off the air since Wednesday night. It hopes to be up and running for tonight's 7:30 p.m. Town Council meeting, but is still unsure at this time.

Mini versions of Richard Wagner\'s best-known works are on offer in Bayreuth this year for those who baulk at the prospect of sitting through operas lasting five hours and more. While Wagnerians from all over the world traipse up to Festspielhaus theatre built to the composer\'s own designs on the town\'s Green Hill, children and opera novices can get a taste for his music in slimmed-down arrangements of two of his greatest masterpieces. The Bayreuth Festival\'s highly successful \"Wagner for kids\" series is staging a 90-minute version of \"Tristan and Isolde\". And for those who haven\'t the time or stamina to sit through the 16-hour, four-opera \"Ring\" cycle, there is a four-hour pocket \"Ring in one evening\" at a small fringe theatre in town. \"Wagner for kids\" was initiated by Bayreuth Festival chief Katharina Wagner when she took over the reins along with her half-sister Eva Wagner-Pasquier in 2009. The idea is to make Wagner\'s works palatable for children and win and nurture future generations of opera audiences. The series has turned into a runaway success, with tickets sold out within minutes as soon as they go online and even adults vying for a seat. So far, the series has produced highly imaginative stagings of \"The Flying Dutchman\" in 2009, \"Tannhaeuser\" in 2010, the \"Ring\" in 2011 and \"The Meistersinger of Nuremberg\" in 2012. For \"Tristan and Isolde\", director Michael Hoeppner and designer Judith Philipp literally bring the audience on board by seating them on the deck of the ship with which Tristan is bringing Isolde to Cornwall to marry King Mark. Wagner\'s treatment of the medieval love epic is dark and sombre, immersed in the pessimistic philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer. But Hoeppner lightens the proceedings with touches of humourous slapstick and the singers -- some of whom have starred in productions of the main stage of Bayreuth\'s Festspielhaus -- throw themselves into the staging. The series is put on in one of rehearsal stages alongside the main theatre. And in the heatwave that hit Bayreuth in the opening days of the festival, the children eventually grew tired and fidgety. But they nevertheless stamped enthusiastically at the end, cheering Swedish star soprano Irene Theorin as Isolde, German tenor Hans-Georg Priese as Tristan and German mezzo Simone Schroeder as Isolde\'s maid Brangaene. A pocket version of the \"Ring\" was put together by British conductor David Seaman in 1990. French director Philippe Arlaud staged it a number years back in Bayreuth and his production is being revived this year for the Wagner bicentenary. It is not intended as a parody, but as an introduction or appetizer for Wagner novices. And it tells the story straight, from the theft of the \"Rhinegold\" at the start through to Siegfried\'s death in \"Twilight of the Gods.\" Arlaud largely dispenses with elaborate scenery and props and he focuses on the human story in Wagner\'s sprawling tetralogy and less on the gods, giants and dwarves. The small cast of singers take on multiple roles. German tenor Tilmann Unger was Siegfried, Siegmund and Froh, Swedish soprano Magdalena Branland sang both Bruennhilde and Wellgunde, US baritone Gary Martin was a powerful Wotan and Gunther and French baritone Jean-Marc Salzmann stood out as Alberich and Fasolt. The production is being staged six times at Bayreuth\'s Youth Culture Centre until August 3.
