Big brows are back
Embrace your natural beauty this coming season with thick, well-defined brows.
The trend has made a strong comeback of late, especially considering that several years ago thin and neat eyebrows were the trend followed by fashionistas across the globe.
Now eyebrows have made a return to the 80s era – with models and celebrities alike sporting naturally thick brows.
The beauty trend was favoured on a whole host of designer catwalks for the Winter 11 season. Models walking for Prada and Alberta Ferretti donned the strong look, teamed with nude make-up that accentuated the thick brows.
There are many advantages to having thicker eyebrows, in addition to the fact that they are bang on trend. The stronger line of the hair highlights your facial structure to perfection, and allows focus on other areas of your face.
You can choose to contour the brows, but remember to keep the rest of your make-up much more subtle.
For perfect eyebrows, you can use an eyebrow pencil or shadow close to the colour of your natural brow to create the illusion of thick eyebrows, if you're struggling to naturally grow the look. Brush your eyebrows so that every hair stays in place.
Remember to keep the rest of your brows in perfect condition, and tweeze any stray hairs that ruin the look of your natural brow line.

1- Make sure your brief is complete and research, research and research. What's the competition doing? Who's the audience? Do they blog? Are there any brand advocates out there?
2- Then decide how involving or interactive your campaign can be. Why expect people who never blog or post video to suddenly do so unless you give them a good reason to?
3- Decide what is it you're trying to achieve. A PR coup? Capturing data? Building awareness? Changing perception?
4- If you want to create buzz, don't be afraid of giving stuff away and encourage people to share it. The more rich media you've got, the better.
5- If you start a conversation with fans and bloggers, make sure you can carry it through and follow it up.
6- If you've worked with your audience in the past – for example bloggers, then its good to involve them in the next campaign. Ask them what what worked or didn't for them.
7- Give time for a campaign to take root and grow. One of our most successful campaigns was for the release of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging with the campaign starting six months ahead of the film's release.
8- Do you have enough content for a sustainable campaign? Can you release content throughout the months of the campaign?
9- Make sure you have in place all the necessary metrics from the word go. Track and monitor regularly.
10- Be prepared and have a plan B. Adjust and refine as the campaign progresses.

It's happened again. Blog search engine and tagging leader Technorati's site has gone completely unresponsive. See here, here and here. It's not exactly the first time Technorati has fallen off the radar, as the site has shown an unacceptable level of instability for the last twelve to eighteen months.
For a cog so crucial to the blogosphere as Technorati not to have a robust, redundant infrastructure is something of a surprise, and the company's struggles here have been well documented to the point it's likely driving more users to Google's Blog Search and other alternatives.
Dave Sifry, the company's CEO, has been an incredibly open friend to the blogosphere, and has visited this site on more than one occasion. We'd love for him and Technorati to pull through, but at what point should we recognize we're being abused, and should just simply turn away?

Bank Of America Discrimination
February 28, 2012 by staff
Bank Of America Discrimination, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development charged Bank of America Corp. on Monday with discriminating against three disabled borrowers in Michigan and Wisconsin.
The nation's biggest bank is accused of violating the federal Fair Housing Act in 2009 and 2010. The act prohibits lenders from discriminating against disabled borrowers, among other provisions,
Bank of America imposed "unnecessary and burdensome requirements" on borrowers who relied on disability income to qualify for their home loans, the government said. The bank also required some disabled borrowers to provide statements from their doctors to get loans, according to the government.
The cases involved individuals living in Oscoda and Lapeer, Mich., and Eau Claire, Wis.
In a statement, Bank of America said it followed different but tougher Federal Housing Administration guidelines in all three cases and blamed "inconsistencies" in different laws regulating housing discrimination.
"There is no basis to allege that Bank of America has engaged in a systemic practice of discriminating on the basis of disability in connection with mortgage lending," the statement said.
The Justice Department is also reviewing the case.
HUD can impose sanctions of up to $65,000, but in cases brought by the Justice Department, civil penalties up to $100,000 may be imposed.

Roma have confirmed they have signed Urby Emanuelson on what is an initial one-year contract.
The 28-year-old joins the Giallorossi on a free transfer, having left Milan at the end of last season after his deal at San Siro expired.
Though the Dutch international, who had a loan spell with Fulham earlier this calendar year, has only put pen to paper for one season, there is the option to extend his contract for a further two.
"AS Roma announces that it has tied up a sporting contract with the player Urby Emanuelson, with a duration of one year and an expiry date of 30 June 2015," a statement on Roma's website reads.
"The deal also includes the option, in favour of the club, for an extension of his contract for another two seasons."
Emanuelson is the second left-sided player signed by the Giallorossi this week, with Ashely Cole having also joined the club.

Posted on January 21st, 2015
We have been with dr adams since my daughter was an infant. We had seen another doc. Who completely misdiagnosed her. Said she was fine when she actually had double ear infections and bad chest infection. Dr Adams was our second opinion. He sent her imidiatly to the hospital and waited at his office until late that night just so he could see her again after the ER visit to ensure she was ok. He has been her doc ever since. Always been great with my daughter and he will continue to be her doc.
Posted on November 27th, 2013
Dr. Adams is an excellent Doctor. We have 2 children and I am so glad we picked him. He makes you feel like you are doing a good job as a parent, he listens, provides suggestions. Explains options. He is always on call, even told me once that he would see my child on a weekend day if the symptoms didn't go away, or if I was that worried about him. Also, when my youngest child was born I had some difficulty with breast feeding. He put me on a schedule, he really helped me feel better about the situation. My baby also lost weight, he helped her get the weight back on that she needed without having to supplement with her. He also allowed me to bring in her just to get weighed, free of charge. The other negative reviews are so odd to me, I cannot picture this. He is very funny, which my husband and I both like. He is nice to our kids. They get free books during the well checks :) His staff are also nice. We have never had an issue. I would recommend him to anyone, and I do! Thank you Dr. Adams.

Dr. Adams is one of the most compassionate physicians I have ever met. He is well educated and will do whatever research is needed to discover what the best treatment option is for his patients. He spends as much time as needed listening to his patients and addressing their needs. He is an amazing doctor who also has a great sense of humor!

Doesn't even know the basics.
Posted on September 6th, 2011
After having 3 children in his office for going on 11 years we have had enough. He was great when even my youngest was born and started out and has gone straight downhill. My 10 yr old stepdaughter just had to have reconstructive surgery that coudln't have been all together avoided but could have been done MUCH sooner so that she wouldn't have lost ALL the bones in her ear if he would have sent her to an ENT a year ago after having ear infection after infection and all he would do was give antibiotics. Took my youngest in to see him in May for an ear infection and he couldn't even tell me whether he had one or not, just prescribed meds. Now they want me to pay $28 to transfer the records to a new peds office!? I don't even pay that much for my visits for the co-pay! He also diagnosed my son with eczema which he doesn't have and kept giving us ointment after ointment and refused to allergy test or set up an appointment at the allergist. Since we don't need referrals i set one up myself - he has not had an outbreak since seeing the allergist - I went back and told Dr. Adams what the allergist said (at our next appt with Dr. Adams) and he typed out a piece of paper saying to NOT do what the allergist said regarding my son. Have heard from other people that he talks about other patients to them as well. No ethics, no professionalism, and just wants the money and easy way out.
Great For Medical yet not so great for compassion
Posted on February 7th, 2011
We have seen Dr. Adams for many yrs. Highly intelligent yet lacks bedside manner. Many times he's entered the room, sat in te chair, looked at the computer and just threw his hands up and said,"Well?" There ave been arguments with staff in full ear shot of waiting room, this should be done after hours in staff meetings! Lastly, the last visit we had, we were in the room with him for 35 minutes, not once did he acknowledge my child in the room. We were there for my child, he did not speak to my child nor ask any questions of my child. This should have been done. I was not there for myself, was there for my child and he is a pediatrician. This should be taken seriously and a change should be made as soon as possible.
Obvious he cares about his work
Posted on January 5th, 2011
Dr. Adams seems extremely dedicated to his work. The only problem I have is that he doesn't seem to engage in a lot of conversation enough to talk about the ailments of what is going on with my children once in the room. He seems to rely to a fair degree on what the nurse spoke with me and didn't address all questions, only one most urgent at the time.

Nina Hartley's Guide to Simultaneous Orgasms
Adam & Eve Pictures
D: Ernest Greene
Kayden Kross, Nina Hartley, Devon Lee, Marcus London, Erik Everhard. 75 Min.
Extras: Behind the Scenes, Bonus Scene, Dolby Digital, Interview, Still Gallery, Trailers.
There's a certain social irony and touch of unexpected industry honesty about this instructional video, because its hostesses immediately assure viewers that their stated educational goal, in this case simultaneous orgasms, isn't commonly achieved and really isn't worth the effort.
Those who decide they'd like to try anyway are presented with two fairly hot demonstrations of what could be called simultaneous orgasm — or could be called women with multiple orgasms calling it good once their men ejaculate.
The fact Kayden Kross proudly demonstrates her ability to fake an orgasm doesn't exactly help matters, although it's fun enough to watch.
Behind the scenes footage provides appealing glimpses at the performers literally with their hair down, the instructional segment is packed with good advice and it makes no sense for Devon Lee to play pool in a bikini – but who cares, right?
Sensible and sexy information, with demonstrations, about a largely mythical goal.

Carbon tax hits NSW election race
The New South Wales election campaign has become embroiled in the Federal Government's push to introduce a tax on carbon.
State Opposition Leader Barry O'Farrell was quick to jump on the issue, saying the tax will add more than $500 a year to household power bills.
Mr O'Farrell says that will demolish Premier Kristina Keneally's Fairness for Families packages, and there must be full compensation.
"We don't support a carbon tax, but if Julia Gillard and the Greens push it through it must come with full compensation to project the power bills of mums and dads and small businesses," Mr O'Farrell said yesterday.
The Opposition Leader stepped up his attack today, saying voters should show their anger at next month's state election.
"The 26th of March provides the perfect opportunity to stand up to Julia Gillard and Kristina Keneally's carbon tax," he said.
Ms Keneally has dismissed Mr O'Farrell's criticism, saying he is meddling in a federal issue.
"Isn't it interesting Mr O'Farrell wants to go to Canberra and fight about things that are not the responsibility of a state government," Ms Keneally said.
Ms Keneally has previously been willing to get involved in federal issues herself, most recently when she argued western Sydney families should not pay as much towards the Queensland flood levy.
An academic specialising in sustainable energy says the impact of a carbon tax is likely to be less than power price increases already being experienced in New South Wales.
Allan Pears from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology says more efficient energy use can more than make up for the increases.
"When you look at the longer term the impact of a carbon price is about equivalent to one year of the price increases people are facing at the moment," Dr Pears said.
"One the key things about it is that if that carbon price encourages more aggressive energy efficiency in households, they can come out well ahead."
Federal Opposition spokesman Greg Hunt says the recent price rises in New South Wales show that will not happen.
"If you drive up power prices, as we've seen in New South Wales, it doesn't cause people to stop using electricity. That's the reality," Mr Hunt said.
"New South Wales has run the biggest test case in increasing power prices imaginable and it hasn't worked because power is an essential service."

Released Spring 2017
Format: Paperback, B Format, 198 x 129mm, 240pp
Helen McClory has a PhD in literature and creative writing from the University of Glasgow.
An intense journey into and out of rage and grief, via sex and violence, following 27 year-old artist, Sarah Browne and set mostly in the American Southwest. In New York, the ending of Sarah's recent relationship with a married woman has coincided with the death of her estranged, aristocratic mother, leaving her a substantial amount of money and an unrecognised burden of toxic grief. Rather than return home to England, she decides to travel by Greyhound to her mother's cabin in New Mexico. There she's drawn into a passionate relationship with Theo, a man whose quiet stability seems to complement her mercurial character.
But as Sarah's emotional turmoil grows, there are warning signs that tragedy could ensue. In Flesh of the Peach Scottish First Book of the Year winner, Helen McClory, paints a beautiful and painful portrait of a woman's unravelling, combining exquisite, and at times experimental, prose with a powerful understanding of the effects of unresolved loss.
McClory is one of the most exciting literary talents to emerge from Scotland in recent years.
Praise for Flesh of the Peach
'McClory is clearly one of the best new writers to have emerged in Scotland in the last few years…' Herald
'Flesh of the Peach is both a gripping re-imagining of the traditional American road trip and a character examination whose deep focus is testament to the author's forensic detailing and abiding humanity' Skinny
'Wonderful on the sentence level… If you are looking for a Scottish debut with teeth, this is it.' Big Issue
'McClory's is a lepidopterist's language that skewers with playful, painful precision.' Joanna Walsh, author of Vertigo
'Bold and unflinching, McClory's debut novel is A Girl Is a Half-Formed
Thing meets Inside Llewyn Davis: a brutal, clear-eyed study of a failing
artist that shatters our expectations of what a woman should be.'
Kirsty Logan author of The Gracekeepers
'I absolutely adored this book., I read it in a single sitting and loved the style of narration. I can see this being a runaway success. Helen McClory is a talented and provocative writer who asks us to follow Sarah's journey of turbulence anger and despair as art. Her language is just beautiful and several passages required a re-reading to fully appreciate her craft. I will be giving this book to several of my artist friends as I loved it so much. A five star read.' Reviewer on NetGalley

During the day you will travel by snowmobile through pristine mountain forest, a frozen world full of life. If the weather permits, you will go up the mountains to learn more about the living conditions for the mountain residents: wolverine, reindeer, hare and grouse. Along the journey, you will learn more about how to interpret tracks in the snow, nature's own dictionary. The tour is led by local guides with great knowledge of the flora and fauna in this area, and in harmony with the local inhabitant and reindeer herders. Lunch with local ingredients will be served during, or in connection with the safari, the location will be determined by weather and season. This snowmobile safari offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the arctic mountains and wild life.
The length of the tour will be determined by the season and the weather conditions.

> Meniscus Tear
What is the Meniscus?
The menisci - the medial meniscus
and lateral meniscus - are crescent-shaped bands of
thick, rubbery cartilage that are attached to the shinbone
(tibia) and, by dispersing the weight of the body over
a large surface area, act as shock absorbers and stabilizers
in the knee. The medial meniscus, which is on the inner
side of the knee joint, is longer from front to back
than the lateral meniscus, which is on the outside of
the knee.
A meniscus tear can occur from a sudden twisting of
the knee with the foot planted on the ground, or it
can develop over time because the meniscus gradually
loses resiliency and a portion may break off, leaving
frayed edges. Meniscus tears can vary widely in size
and severity. A meniscus can be split in half, ripped
around its circumference in the shape of a C, or left
hanging by a thread to the knee joint. Or, the tear
can be barely noticeable only to resurface years later,
triggered by something as innocuous as tripping over
a sidewalk curb.
Athletes who play sports that require
running and pivoting, such as basketball, football,
and soccer, are particularly susceptible to meniscus
tears. Still, most meniscal injuries occur in everyday
situations, usually resulting from sudden twisting motions
in which the knee joint's normal motion is
disrupted. Repeated kneeling or squatting, particularly
among older people, also can cause meniscus tears, creating
uneven surfaces that irritate the knee joint.
If your knee has a stable ACL and
PCL (anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments), the
success rate for repairing the torn meniscus through
surgery is approximately 80 percent. Possible long-term
complications include chronic pain and an increased
risk of re-injury. A meniscus repair will take longer
to rehabilitate - at least eight to 12 weeks before
you can return to strenuous activity - but will have
a better long-term prognosis than a meniscus removal.
A tear on the outer portion of the meniscus, where the
blood supply is better, can be repaired more effectively
than a tear on the inner portion. Similarly, a younger
patient will more likely be a successful candidate for
meniscus repair than an older person whose menisci may
have begun to degenerate. Arthroscopic
partial meniscectomy, or removal of the torn piece of
the meniscus, is not as effective in patients with arthritis,
and can take up to six months to rehabilitate, compared
to 3-4 weeks if no arthritis is present. Patients without
arthritis who have undergone total meniscectomy, or
removal of the entire meniscus, may be candidates for
meniscal transplantation, which involves transplanting
a meniscus from a cadaver knee. Since the menisci have
been found to degenerate with age, an older person with
a meniscus tear is a less likely candidate for repair.
Patients over the age of forty tend to have tears with
frayed surfaces that cannot be sewn back together satisfactorily.
There are usually three parts to an
orthopedic evaluation: medical history, physical examination,
and tests your physician may order.
Your doctor will likely ask you how
you injured your knee, how it has been feeling since
the injury, and if your knee has been previously injured.
Physicians also typically ask about other conditions,
such as diabetes and allergies, and medications currently
being taken. If you know or suspect you have a torn
meniscus, it is important to describe your symptoms
accurately. For example, the degree of pain and when
the swelling occurred can provide your physician with
important clues about the location and severity of the
injury. Inform you physician of any recurrent swelling
or of your knee repeatedly "giving way." The
doctor may also ask about your physical and athletic
goals - information that will help him decide what treatment
might be best for you in achieving those goals.
To determine the extent of your injury,
your physician will manipulate your knee manually, and
will also check for range of motion. This may involve
some pain, as the physician will hold your heel while
you lie on your back and, with your leg bent, straighten
your leg with his other hand on the outside of your
knee as he rotates your foot inward. He also may place
both hands on your foot while you are lying on your
back with your leg bent at a 90-degree angle, and rotate
your foot outward and downward.
(magnetic resonance imaging) is commonly used to diagnose
meniscal injuries. The meniscus should appear in black
on the MRI, and any tears will show up as white lines.
Your MRI should be interpreted by an experienced knee
surgeon or musculoskeletal radiologist. Meniscus tears,
indicated by MRI, are classified in three grades. Grades
one and two are not considered serious and may not even
be apparent through an arthroscopic
examination. Grade three is a true meniscus tear. MRI
is 70 to 90 percent accurate for diagnosing meniscus
tears, so these findings along with your symptoms will
help the physician make a diagnosis. However, meniscus
tears do not always appear on MRIs. If your MRI indicates
a grade one or two tear, but your symptoms and physical
exam are inconsistent with a tear, your physician may
elect to forgo surgery. Grade 3 tears usually will require
an arthroscopic examination to determine whether surgical
repair is needed. An arthroscope is close to 100 percent
accurate in diagnosing a grade III meniscal tear. X-rays
will not show meniscal damage, though they can reveal
calcification of the cartilage (chondrocalcinosis),
a condition that can make the meniscus more prone to
tears. X-rays also show bone spurs and joint narrowing,
conditions that can reduce the success rate of treatments
such as arthroscopy.

Craig Gore believes the Gold Coast Indy is Team Australia's chance to claim motor sport glory on its home turf - if his drivers can keep out of each other's way.
Last year, Canadian Alex Tagliani was making a charge towards a podium result at Surfers Paradise before teammate Will Power clipped him at turn four and he finished fourth.
It was Power's Champ Car debut, and despite his one costly mistake, his performance was enough to convince team owner Gore that the Queenslander had what it took to become a force in the open-wheeler series.
Power has since repaid the faith with an outstanding debut season to be ranked seventh in the title points and leading rookie of the year honours - narrowly ahead of cocky Englishman Dan Clarke.
While Power and Tagliani have been reasonably consistent this season, the one thing missing from the Team Australia resume is a victory.
But Gore believes with Power's full season of experience and Tagliani more determined than ever, this weekend's Champ Car race could turn into a big party for the green and gold team.
"I'm very, very confident. I think we can put it on the podium," Gore said yesterday.
"Last year, Will spun at turn four; I actually wanted to get up and say to Will this morning [at the Indy breakfast function], 'Will you please promise me you won't take Tags out at turn four?'
"[Tagliani] drove a great race last year so it was an empty feeling. I'm not going to have a go at [Power]; this is motor racing so you have got to get used to the ups and downs of it.
"If you look at the tracks we've gone to this year, street tracks have not been our best but there's been a lot of times where we've got really close and blown it."
This is the third time Team Australia has raced at Indy. In 2004 they made a one-off debut before joining the Champ Car series full-time last year.
The Champ Cars have their first practice session today before qualifying tomorrow.

The Wind in the Willows by Allan Bennett
The Wind in the Willows, known to many readers through theatrical adaptations such as Toad of Toad Hall, belongs to a select group of English classics whose characters (Rat, Mole, Badger and Mr Toad) and their catchphrases ("messing about in boats"; "poop, poop!") require no introduction. Endlessly recycled, in print, cartoon and cinema, the ideas and images of Kenneth Grahame's masterpiece recur in the most unlikely places. Chapter seven, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn", is even the name of Pink Floyd's first album in 1967.
The Wind in the Willows began as bedtime stories and letters addressed to Grahame's troubled son, a sickly boy known as "Mouse" who possibly inspired the willful character of Mr. Toad and who eventually committed suicide, aged 20, while at Oxford. Indeed, so personal were these stories that Grahame never intended to publish his material. The manuscript was first given to an American publisher, who rejected it. After the publication of The Wind in the Willows by Methuen in 1908, it found an unlikely fan in U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt who, in 1909, wrote to Grahame to tell him that he had "read it and reread it, and have come to accept the characters as old friends". Elsewhere, the critical response was more mixed, and it was not until AA Milne, the author of Winnie the Pooh, adapted parts of the book into a popular stage version, Toad of Toad Hall, in 1929, that it became established as the evergreen children's classic it is known as today.
Since then it has been made into many animated films, a stop motion puppet film, and s everal live action versions, including one with almost the entire cast of Monty Python fame. In 2003, Guillermo del Toro was working on an adaptation for Disney. It was to mix live action with CG animation, and the director explained why he had to leave the helm. "It was a beautiful book, and then I went to meet with the executives and they said, 'Could you give Toad a skateboard and make him say, 'radical dude' things,' and that's when I said, 'It's been a pleasure...'" Disney, of course, also has a ride at Disneyland called Toad's Wild Ride, that takes the rider on a crazy car adventure through the countryside.
Several authors have shared in the idyllic world Grahame first created as well. William Horwood created several sequels to The Wind in the Willows: The Willows in Winter, Toad Triumphant, The Willows and Beyond, and The Willows at Christmas. Another perspective on the story was Jan Needle's Wild Wood, which was published in 1981 with illustrations by William Rushton. It is a re-telling of the story of The Wind in the Willows from the point of view of the working-class inhabitants of the Wild Wood. For them, money is short and employment hard to find. They have a very different perspective on the wealthy, easy, careless lifestyle of Toad and his friends.
Alan Bennett's delightful adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's favorite children's story played to sell-out audiences at The National Theatre when it was first produced in 1990. The show featured a unique turn table set that could make Ratty's house rise up out of the floor on an elevator. It has since become a Christmas time favorite in England, and in fact, one website mentioned that it is most often performed in England. It is that taste of the English countryside, (and the actors here say the British accents), as well as the well drawn characters and hilarious lines and situations that brought ZCSTC back 'round again to this classic version of the classic tale (or is it "tail"??).
Mary Poppins, spring 2015
Mary Poppins is a musical based on the book series by P.L. Travers (1899-1996) of the same name and, more notably, the 1964 musical film starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. The stage show features many of the original songs made famous by the Oscar-winning duo of Richard and Robert Sherman, with additional music and lyrics from George Stiles and Anthony Drewe respectively, and a book by Julian Fellowes, creator for the television series Downton Abbey.
The story of Walt Disney trying to get the rights to make a film of the series of Mary Poppins books from their author, Pamela Travers covers twenty years, as Disney had to work very hard to convince the hard nosed Travers to allow her beloved characters onto a screen. This story was the subject of the recent movie Saving Mr. Banks, starring Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson. Eventually, the movie was made, and it remains a classic of the Disney library. However, after her experience with the film, Travers refused to do any more business with Disney, and any sequels were left undone.
The genesis of the musical came at the hands of mega-producer Cameron Mackintosh (Les Misérables, Cats, Miss Saigon). In 1993, he met with Travers to get her permission to musicalize the stories of Mary Poppins. When Travers agreed, he got in contact with Disney Theatrical in 2001, sparking a partnership that would allow the show to use music from the original movie.
Around 2002, Stiles and Drewe (Olivier winners for Honk!) had heard about the new collaboration, and wrote a demo song entitled "Practically Perfect" for the producers. Once they listened to the song, they were brought onto the creative team. Fellowes was then brought aboard for his "clear understanding of the social niceties of the English class system that prevailed in the Edwardian era." A workshop of the musical was held at the end of 2003 at the Old Vic Theatre, using the cast from a recently-closed production of My Fair Lady.
The stage adaptation pulls some elements from the original book that were eliminated in the film, including the walking statue and the ladders to the stars. Several scenes from the film were omitted, most notably the scenes of Uncle Albert laughing on the ceiling and the dancing penguins in "Jolly Holiday," which were replaced with dancing statues and a trip to Mrs. Corry's shop, respectively. The musical generally places more emphasis on Jane and Michael being naughty children, and their parents having more of a dysfunctional relationship. Mrs. Banks is no longer a suffragette, but a former actress, and Mr. Banks' back story is much more fleshed out. A handful of musical sequences have also been placed in a different chronology, including bumping up "Let's Go Fly a Kite" to the middle of the show rather than the end.
Mary Poppins had its world premiere at the Bristol Hippodrome in London with a limited engagement from September 18 to November 6, 2004. The production, starring Laura Michelle Kelly and Gavin Lee, then moved to the Prince Edward Theatre on December 15, running more than three years until January 12, 2008. With a very successful production, the producers' eyes turned west, and the New Amsterdam Theatre housed the Broadway premiere on November 16, 2006. Initially starring Broadway performer Ashley Brown and returning player Gavin Lee, it made minimal changes to the songs and staging. After almost seven years of success, the Broadway production closed on March 3, 2013 to make room for Disney Theatricals' new production of Aladdin.
For the touring productions of the show, the sets were significantly reduced in size and intermediate scenes were removed to accommodate for smaller houses. The first tour began in the UK on June 4, 2008, playing until April 18, 2009. The US tour started in Chicago on March 25, 2009, featuring performances from the leads of the Broadway production Ashley Brown and Gavin Lee. Like its Broadway equivalent, the tour was extremely successful, playing its last performance in Anchorage, Alaska on June 2, 2013.
Mary Poppins has had several "firsts". It is the first Disney Theatrical show to open in the UK. It is also the first show to open in collaboration with another theatre company, and it is currently the 30th longest-running show in Broadway history. Mary Poppins was the first live-action Disney movie to be adapted to the stage. Its success gave Disney Theatrical confidence to adapt other live-action films High School Musical, High School Musical 2, and Newsies. The Broadway production of Mary Poppins was nominated for seven TONY Awards, including Best Musical and Best Choreography.
Mary Poppins just became available for amateur groups to license in October of 2014. When the chance came to do this show, it was definitely on the top of our list! The fun songs, great characters, strong storyline, and lively dances were all a great fit for ZCSTC. However, in addition to those considerations, we also had to figure out how to deal with a flying magical leading character, along with multiple large sets and effects and challenging choreography in numbers like Jolly Holiday and Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (yes, we know how to spell it for sure now!!). After weeks of work by both cast and crew, you have one of the only productions of this brand new musical in this half of the state!

The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is an 1831 French novel written by Victor Hugo. It is set in 1482 in Paris, in and around the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris. Hugo began to write Hunchback in 1829, but it wasn't until the latter half of 1830 when he finished it, under pressure from his publisher. The story begins in 1482, the day of the Festival of Fools in Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer, is introduced by his crowning as Pope of Fools. Esméralda, a beautiful 16-year-old gypsy, captures the hearts of many men but especially Quasimodo's stepfather, Claude Frollo. Frollo is torn between his lust and the rules of the church. He orders Quasimodo to get her. Quasimodo is caught and whipped and ordered to be tied down in the heat. Esméralda seeing his thirst, offers him water. It saves her, for she captures the heart of the hunchback. She is later accused of the murder of Phoebus, whom Frollo tried to kill in jealousy, and is sentenced to death by hanging. Quasimodo saves her by bringing her to the cathedral under the law of sanctuary. Frollo rallies the truands (criminals of Paris) to charge the cathedral. The king, seeing the chaos, vetoes the law of sanctuary and commands his troops to take her out and kill her. When Quasimodo sees the truands, he assumes they are there to hurt Esméralda, so he drives them off. Frollo betrays Esméralda by handing her to the troops and watches while she is hanged. Quasimodo pushes him from Notre-Dame to his death. He then goes to Esméralda's grave, lies next to her corpse and dies. This plot, especially due to its unhappy ending, has had two results. The first is that the novel was very popular in France, and spurred a historical preservation movement in that country that eventually led to the renovation of Notre-Dame. The second is that very few adaptations of the story for the stage or film have been true to the original story. This includes several late 1800's operas through the silent film version that made Lon Chaney a horror film star in 1923. Charles Laughton played Quasimodo opposite Maureen O'Hara in 1937 to great acclaim. In fact, there has been a Hunchback movie made in practically every decade since then, and even a full scale musical. Probably the most well-known version to our audiences was Disney's adaptation in 1996. It was the second Disney film directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise after the hugely successful Beauty and the Beast in 1991. The duo had read Victor Hugo's novel and were eager to make an adaptation, but made several changes in order to make the storyline more suitable for children. This included making the film's heroes, Quasimodo, Esmeralda, and Phoebus, kinder than in the novel (Phoebus, in particular, was a villain in the novel), and keeping Quasimodo and Esmeralda alive at the end, a move which frustrated some critics who wanted it to be closer to the original material. In the novel, only Phoebus, Fleur-de-Lys, Djali, and Gringoire are still alive at the end of the story. This version spawned a sequel on DVD that found Esmeralda and Phoebus married with a son, and Quasimodo finally getting a girl. In our production this evening, you will find all of the great characters that made the original story so intriguing, but as author Patrick Rainville Dorn, an Anglican priest, dubs it, it is "loosely adapted" from that source. This script features a troupe of actors performing the story 50 years after it took place, right on the steps of the cathedral itself. This allows for some leeway in the events shown, and gives us a chance to show off our slapstick and comedic talents as the plot reels from place to place, rarely even leaving the courtyard in front of Notre Dame! Dorn played up the comedy, but also wanted to maintain the themes of the original novel. As he says on his website, "It should come as no surprise that the axis scene, around which everything else revolves, is the moment when Quasimodo, shamed and humiliated on the public pillory, is given water by Esmeralda, the woman he'd abducted and the inadvertent cause of his suffering. This act of charity, of mercy, of tenderness, shines like a beacon of hope forward and backward through the story. I decided that no matter how silly the show got, and I intended to pack in as much slapstick humor, wordplay and goofy characters as possible, this scene was going to be played straight."
So, with this combination of theme, sometimes sheer craziness and a classic story, you are sure to have as much fun watching this production as we did preparing it for you!
Shrek the Musical, Spring 2016
This musical is based off the well known film that made all of its iconic characters so well known to us all. But did you know that it actually started out as a children's book, and that it has gone through many, many changes to become the form you see tonight? Shrek! is a picture book written and illustrated in 1990, by William Steig about a repugnant and monstrous ogre who leaves home to see the world and ends up saving a princess. The name "Shrek" is derived from the Yiddish and German Schreck meaning "fear" or "fright". The book served as the basis for the popular Shrek film series over a decade after its publication. Steven Spielberg acquired the rights for the book in 1991, planning to produce a traditionally animated film based on the book. However, around the time DreamWorks was founded, producer John H. Williams brought the book to DreamWorks. As a result, DreamWorks ended up acquiring the rights for the book in 1995, and Katzenberg quickly put the film in active development. Shrek was released in April 2001, starring the voice talents of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz. Chris Farley had originally been cast to voice the title character in the film, but died before being able to complete the project in December 1997; in August 1998, DreamWorks then recast the role to Mike Myers. After his first recording, he decided to record his voice in a Scottish accent. The film was also originally planned to be motion-captured, but after poor results, the studio decided to use computer animation. The film was an immediate commercial and critical success, and won the first ever Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The film's triumph ultimately led to the releases of three sequels: Shrek 2 (2004, which was also an instant success), Shrek the Third (2007), and Shrek Forever After (2010). Shrek The Musical is a musical based off of the first film, with music by Jeanine Tesori and book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire. They began working on the show in 2002, with the premiere of the show happening in 2008 at the 5th Avenue Theater in Seattle. A fun fact is that a group from Zillah actually went to that production in Seattle and saw many of the lead actors that eventually went on to play in the Broadway production! The Seattle production featured a turn table that could also raise and lower and elaborate costumes. More changes occurred when the show went to Broadway. The leads remained the same, except Donkey, who was now played by Daniel Breaker. The Dragon, was sung by three women instead of one, and was a puppet represented only from the neck up. Several other songs were revamped, including adding "I'm A Believer" as the finale, as it was in the original animated film. The show ran for a year in New York, earning 12 Drama Desk Award nominations and eight Tony Award nominations. It was also filmed for DVD, and many ZHS cast members practically had that memorized before we announced we were doing this show! Following the Broadway run, the national tour began in 2010 in Chicago, featuring an all new Dragon (with an entire body and voiced by one actress) and song, "Forever". It also featured redesigned sets, cut the Magic Mirror character, and some other changes in the music order. A second tour of North America launched in 2011 at the Capitol Theater in Yakima, WA. Yet again, a newly revised version ran on the West End in England from 2011-2013, again rearranging some of the songs and adding back in several fairy tale creatures that had been cut. The touring version is the one you will see tonight. This show is a terrific challenge for ZCSTC. The music provides upbeat fun, but took a great deal of work to master, as did the choreography. Inspired at the beginning of our production by seeing Eisenhower's production, we worked hard to bring you this show. Building set pieces, props and costumes took a literal village: parents, students and alumni all spent hours working on swamps, painting book covers, making a 17 foot dragon in their garage, constructing giant foam heads, straw suitcases, and Shrekish martinis, amongst a lot of other jobs that created what you will see before you tonight. We hope you enjoy it!

How to Prepare for Your Audition: Monologues
All ZCSTC auditions require potential actors to prepare a memorized monologue, or solo acting scene. This is the primary form of audition for the fall play, and combined with the singing audition for the spring musical.
So, you may be new to this whole thing and be asking youself, "How do I do that??" Well, this page will help (as will asking other peers that have auditioned before!)
First, watch this overview video that gives instructions and an example of the BEGINNING of a monologue from a 2014 senior and veteran of four years of ZCSTC, Alice Hiemstra. (The instructions are also written at the bottom of this page for reference)
Next, here are four other examples of monologues from the auditions for Willy Wonka, spring 2014. Unlike the above, these are the ENTIRE MONOLOGUE. They vary in type and style, but also follow the instructions.
C. Simmons
M. Dunbar
I. Alexander
S. Bos
1. Find a monologue in Mrs. Brant's monologue library or online.
i. Monologues will be longer than 45 seconds and no longer than 2 minutes in length. Monologues must be classroom appropriate, be solo, and include a brief introduction of your name, the title of the scene, the character you are playing and a short set up of events preceding the scene.
2. Work on memorizing it. Plan some movement. Place it in a setting that you can recreate using some simple things like chairs and a table. Pantomime the rest of setting.
3. Make sure you are eligible before auditions...you must be passing classes.
4. Turn in your audition form on time. It includes the parent permission form (signed) and a copy of your monologue.
5. Be in the auditorium at 3:00 p.m. on Audition Day if you are auditioning. Bring your script.
6. Audition day: After a brief introduction, you will give your monologue, and it will be evaluated by the directors.
When called you:
-- Set up the scene with basic furniture. You bring any needed props.
--Plant your feet downstage center. Give an introduction that includes your name, grabs our attention into your scene, gives the title and the character you are playing. Do this with confidence.
--Turn around backward and get your head into the scene. When you turn front again, the scene begins.
--Act your entire scene with lots of character—and stay in that character. Be loud. Stay in it, even if there is a mistake. We might not even notice. Stay open, stay dynamic and in character, and stay in the scene.
--You will be required to have a prompter—a person of your choice that has a copy of your monologue and gives you the next three words if you hit a snag. This should get you back on track again. One or two of those do not greatly affect your audition if you stay in character.
--Pause at the end of your scene and say "scene" and confidently return to your seat. Do not comment on the way up or back on its quality--let the audience make its own decisions.
-- Be a good audience member—that is part of your audition too.
7. Callbacks day: Only those people listed on the Callbacks List on Mrs. Brant's doors before school need attend on this day. Inclusion on the callbacks list is not an indicator of casting status. If you are on the callbacks list, please come after school with your script to the PAC.
8. After Callbacks: Directors will meet to complete casting decisions based upon audition. We will not discuss audition results with anyone else until casting letters are completed and accepted. So, don't ask.
9. By the end that week: (TBD) Casting letters distributed. Please read the entire letter and respond by the deadline. At that point, you may either accept the role offered you, or reject it. You need to respond to Mrs. Brant personally with your decision ON PAPER. No one else on cast will know of your decision unless you tell them yourself. After all responses are received, the cast and crew list will be posted on Mrs. Brant's door. The letter is not to be discussed until after that point, and it will contain information on the first rehearsal dates.

My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for Assistance League of Kansas City, Gladstone, MO, USA
In high school, I served as an officer in the teenage auxiliary of Assistance League of Kansas City, Assisteens. I am now in college, but my experiences as an Assisteen member and officer taught me effective leadership styles I continue to use today and ingrained within me the importance of serving one's community. The Assisteens service project I most enjoyed was the Senior Citizen Prom. We filled the recreation room of a local senior center with decorations, music, dancing, and games. We hired a professional photographer capture photos of couples and groups of friends throughout the event, and even crowned a king and queen. The most wonderful part of the event were the comments from some residents who looked forward to the prom every year and had a lovely time. One gentleman in particular, every year, arrived as soon as the event begun and partied until the very end. His smile made everything the Assisteens do worthwhile. Assisteens and Assistance League of Kansas City truly work to improve the lives of community members about them and genuinely succeed. I was blessed to be a part of such a group.

I've experienced the invaluable results of membership (bolstering a heart of service for others) and seen the positive impacts of both the Assisteens and Assistance League of Kansas City (visit the organization's web page for a listing of all its incredible service efforts).
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Assisteens could simply reach out further with a larger membership. But, certainly one of the most challenging aspects of non-profit work is recruiting members.

Review for Kirmac Seattle
Scott C. on 02/18/2014
Scott said the time it took to complete the repairs and the amount of times he had to go back was unacceptable. There is still one part he has to go back for because it was ordered wrong. The first time he went to pick his vehicle up the tires were wrong and he was not consulted about it. The emergency brake had been completely ignored. He had expected the facility to be done by the 9th of January, but the vehicle wasn't ready to be picked up until the 20th. The people were friendly and he knows they did their best, but he wishes they hadn't taken him so lightly about when he needed his vehicle back and that they had taken more initiative with the emergency brake repair. He was told his vehicle could not be properly aligned because certain parts were only worn and not damaged, so they would be unable to replace them. He had to keep pouring money into replacing the parts himself, but it did not fix the alignment. He expected that the facility would return his vehicle to the state it was in before the accident. The insurance company did not provide a rental without an extra fee. He said it was frustrating that nobody reimbursed him for taxi costs for all the extra trips he had to make to the facility.

Chelsea have confirmed that they will visit Singapore for the first time this summer as part of their pre-season preparations.
The Premier League leaders will take on Bayern Munich (July 25) and Inter Milan (July 29) at the 55,000-seater National Stadium in the Lion City as part of the annual International Champions Cup tournament.
The Blues will begin their tour of Asia on July 22 in Beijing, where the Bird's Nest stadium will play host to a friendly with old rivals Arsenal.
"I am very happy we have our pre-season tour plans for next season in place," manager Antonio Conte told the club website.
"Travelling to Singapore will give us excellent facilities to play and train, and we will face strong opposition. This is all good for my team and will help us to prepare for the next season.
"More importantly, I know Chelsea has millions of passionate fans in the region. I am looking forward to meeting them and I think we will play two exciting matches for them."
The summer tour marks the sixth time in 10 years that the Blues have visited Asia as part of their pre-season preparations.

I am special because_______. Can you fill in that blank? Do you even consider yourself as a special person? Do you know that there is something that only you can do and that the world needs you here to do just that thing?
Today, fifteen years ago, Tupac Shakur "died" from gunshot wounds. Tupac understood his role. He was a poet who could put his poems to music to inspire or rile people. He commented on the state of society as he saw it. He said the following daily quote:
I don't see myself being special; I just see myself having more responsibilities than the next man. People look to me to do things for them, to have answers.
Tupac never said, "I am special because I'm a star rapper". He never said, "I am special because my parents were Black Panthers." He never said, "I am special." for any reason that I know of. He was a very special person. He saw, and accepted his responsibilities to the public. He knew that people were looking to him to be the voice for them and to have the answers for them. He dropped some amazing wisdom on people. He exposed the daily struggle in his world. He was always speaking up and out for what he saw and experienced. He said things in his songs like:
You know it makes me unhappy (what's that)
When brothas make babies, and leave a young mother to be unhappy
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies…(lyrics from Keep Ya Head Up)
Repeat after me: I am special because I exist. I am special because I have something to say. I am special because I experienced things that I can use to help other people. I am special because I am me. Keep ya head up. Make this a, "I am special because…" day!!!!

CONF: Nikhil Anand, Leaks and the Hydraulic City (26 Sept 2017, Basel)
NEW DATE: the event initially scheduled May 2 has been postponed to September 26, 2017
Lecture by Nikhil Anand, University of Pennsylvania
Nikhil Anand will present a portion from his recent book, Hydraulic City: Water and the Infrastructure of Citizenship in Mumbai. Anand explores the politics of Mumbai's water infrastructure to demonstrate how citizenship emerges through the continuous efforts to control, maintain, and manage the city's water. The book demonstrates how Mumbai's water flows, not through a static collection of pipes and valves, but through a dynamic infrastructure built on the relations between residents, plumbers, politicians, engineers, and the 3,000 miles of pipe that bind them. In addition to distributing water, the public water network often reinforces social identities and the exclusion of marginalized groups, as only those actively recognized by city agencies receive legitimate water services.
Nikhil Anand is Assistant Professor in Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. His work focuses on the political ecology of urban infrastructures, and the social and material relations that they entail. He examines how natural resources and specific figurations of the public are mobilized to assemble urban development and environmental projects in Mumbai. The lecture series "Infrastructure from Above and Below" is organised by Urban Studies at the University of Basel in collaboration with the S AM Swiss Architecture Museum, and with generous support by the Freiwillige Akademische Gesellschaft Basel.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 702039
Samba3x is not getting printer "location" attribute from Cups
Last modified: 2012-09-24 09:29:27 EDT
Description of problem:
The "Location" option is defined in cupsd.conf in order to allow users see a description about printer location while browsing printers as described in # man cuspd.conf:
Location text
Specifies human-readable text describing the location of the printer.
Customer is sharing printers via Samba3x (latest version samba3x-3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1) and browsing printers via Windows Explorer (in Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2003 clients).
The problem is that Cups web interface shows "Location" field correctly and also lpstat :

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add printers in Cups
2. Fill "location" field
3. In windows client machine, browse the shared printer
4. The location field is not displayed anymore
Actual results:
Windows clients can not see the location of the printers. The organization has more than 1500 printers distributed in various regions and is important to know where the printer is (location: printer in directory, printer in finance room, etc) because users need to identify the printer where the job will be printed.
Expected results:
Samba obtain this info from Cups and allow windows clients accessing the printers to know the printer location.
Additional info:
Customer has another print server using samba 3.0.33-3.29.el5_6.2 and doing the same job, with the same Windows clients and the "Location" attribute is showed.
Perhaps this was intentional. See this thread:
"As a workaround, please set the comment and location string of every
printer from your windows client in the printers and faxes section. When
samba has both strings in its ntprinter.tdb database, it will no longer
ask cups for them."
The interesting bit is that the slow down occurred due to samba queries to cups for "comment" and "location" information. These fields may be left empty now per this comment:
For "comment" field, we can use rpcclient to set it:
# rpcclient localhost -U Administrator -c 'setprinter test1 "Test printer"'
But for "Location" field the only way is set it via windows. But customer has a lot of printers and would be hard to set it one by one via windows.
I'm not sure if it is considered a regression ou and RFE.
In case of RFE, customer is fine to have the option to set "location" using rpcclient command too (the same as for "comment" field).
Also you can find file blank_location.png attached.
It is a print screen from Windows Explorer. In this image you can see that Windows clients can see shared printers but "Location" attribute is empty.
Created attachment 496829 [details]
location attribute is blank in windows side while browsing shared printers
Justin also contributted in this case and check that:
Our code for 3.5.4 is supposed to pull this information, i'm not sure why it's not making it into ntprinters.tdb. From source3/printing/nt_printing.c:
#ifdef HAVE_CUPS
if (get_loc_com && (enum printing_types)lp_printing(snum) == PRINT_CUPS ) {
/* Pull the location and comment strings from cups if we don't
already have one */
if ( !strlen(info->location) || !strlen(info->comment) )
cups_pull_comment_location( info );
I've handled cases some time ago point to the slowness of cups printing due a
lots of printer attributes that need to be loaded. And with a large number of
printers the .tdbs gets enormous and evem have to increase tdb hash size to
storage all these information.
It makes sense reduce the number of attribute to avoid slowness and enormous
But "location" field is the key to users decide (and know) where they should
print their jobs.
I've agreed with customer that at least the possibility to add it via command
line is enough (instead of make samba get it automatically again).
If this case is considered an RFE, just let me know and I'll provide RFE template with all required info.
