Federal Chancellor Werner Faymann and Vice Chancellor Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger pled once more for enshrining the debt brake in the Austrian Constitution as quickly as possible at a special session of the National Council on 14 December 2011.
The coalition partners – the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) and the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) – have already passed a simple law on the debt brake on 6 December 2011. Since then intensive talks have been held as, in a second step, this law is to be granted constitutional status. Since the recent EU crisis summit in Brussels (12 December 2011), the government leaders have been arguing in favour of this measure by referring to the EU's fiscal pact providing for a debt brake in the euro-zone countries.
The positional debt limit would provide Austria with a sound basis for taking adequate measures in the future. "We need this foundation for a predictable economic policy. We must not leave the country's future at the mercy of the financial markets", said Faymann.
The necessary consolidation measures for the budget 2012 should be taken by April.
The federal government adopted the reform of the administrative courts at a meeting of the Council of Ministers on 13 December 2011. The reform replaces about 120 appellate senates and special agencies (not subject to instructions of the ministry) by nine regional administrative courts and two equivalent federal institutions, i.e. a total of 11 courts. Furthermore, the Federal Office for Asylum and Migration will be set up; it is expected to start operating in 2013.
Chancellor Werner Faymann referred to "the most comprehensive reform of the legal protection system since the Federal Constitution". It would ensure faster procedures and slimmer structures, said Faymann. According to Vice Chancellor Michael Spindelegger, the reform of the administrative courts also enhanced Austria's position as a business location.
The assistance mission of the Austrian Federal Army in Burgenland came to an official end on 14 December 2011. After 21 years, the Federal Army withdrew from Austria's eastern border region. Minister of Defence Norbert Darabos stated that the assistance mission was now "part of the Austrian history". It was concluded "not without melancholy" but "we withdraw with a clear conscience, we hand over responsibility to the Ministry of the Interior, we are aware of the fact that we have achieved something good and important for Austria with our security policy during the last 21 years", said Darabos at a press conference at the Martin Military Barracks in Eisenstadt.
For two decades, the soldiers had made a decisive contribution to the security of the population of the border area and of the entire Austrian territory, stated Darabos.
According to the latest data of the Austrian Statistical Office (Statistik Austria), the median annual gross income of female employees still corresponds to merely 60% of the income of men. In 2010 women earned a median income of 8,270 euro, while that of men amounted to 30,316 euro. Based on a comparison of the income of year-round full-time employees, women achieved 81% of the earnings of men. Top wages and salaries of more than 500,000 euro were paid almost exclusively to male employees.
The gender income gap is significantly wider in the private sector than in the civil service. With an annual gross pay of 10,492 euro, female blue-collar workers earn only about 44% of the income of men. Female employees – representing the largest group of about one million persons – receive a median income of 20,292 euro, i.e. only 50% of the wages paid to men.
As far as contract staff is concerned, women's median income amounts to 25,768 euro, corresponding to 77% of the income of their male counterparts. The smallest income gap is recorded among civil servants. With a median annual gross income of 46,726 euro, women earn approximately 93% of the income of their male colleagues.
Excluding part-time and seasonal workers, the median income of women totalled 30,775 euro, that of men 38,056 euro.
Minister for Women's Affairs Gabriele Heinisch-Hosek described the latest data on the wage gap in Austria as "alarming"; there was a pressing need for measures of the federal government to promote income transparency. Heinisch-Hosek called inter alia for more full-time jobs in enterprises.
Serbian President Boris Tadic paid a short visit to Vienna on 15 December 2011. At a meeting with Federal President Heinz Fischer, Tadic expressed his "deep regret" that Austrian UN soldiers had been injured in armed conflicts at the border between Serbia and Kosovo. Serbia would do its utmost to prevent incidents of this kind in the future, stated Tadic.
According to a press release of the Office of the Austrian President, Tadic had reassured Fischer that he would stick to his pro-European democratic policy. The Serbian President was of the opinion that Serbia had satisfied the requirements of the European Commission to be granted candidate status and expressed Serbia's disappointment that the decision had been postponed.
The press release also informed that Federal President Fischer had pointed out that Austria and a large majority of EU Member States believed that Croatia's and Serbia's EU membership would make an "essential contribution" to the stabilisation and democratisation of the Western Balkans. Fischer was optimistic that next March a decision would be taken in favour of granting Serbia the status of a candidate country.
Vice Chancellor Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger met with German Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin on 12 December 2011. He stressed the feeling of unease of many EU Member States about the close German-French cooperation without adequate involvement of the other Member States. Moreover, the Berlin-Paris axis made it impossible to see Europe's strength on the international stage, Spindelegger told Austrian media representatives. In fact, the world needed to hear the EU-27 speak with one voice.
Spindelegger urged that the UK should be convinced of adopting a less critical attitude towards the EU in the future. The Austrian Foreign Minister advocated that "new areas should be explored with a view to achieving again more things in common". According to Spindelegger, a long-term discussion on a treaty change was not a one-way street to Brussels. The question which responsibilities could be re-transferred from the EU to the national governments, as requested by the UK, was perfectly legitimate, but not in times of crisis.
Minister of Defence Norbert Darabos is paying a pre-Christmas visit to the Austrian UN soldiers in Lebanon (UN camp in Naqoura) from 20 to 22 December 2011. In Beirut Darabos will also hold talks with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Minister of Defence Fayez Ghosn.
Federal President Heinz Fischer participated in a high-level Forum of the United Nations Alliance of Civilisations (UNAOC) in Doha (Persian Gulf emirate Qatar) on 11 December 2011. The next UNAOC Forum will take place in Vienna in February 2013.
Democratic developments and the respect of human rights were closely linked to freedom of speech, explained President Fischer in his opening statement to the Forum. Austria's commitment was founded on its strong interest in human rights, pluralism and diversity management. "We concentrate on equal rights and opportunities for men and women as well as ideas and mechanisms of how to encourage the active involvement of young people".
On 12 December 2011 Fischer opened Austria's new embassy in Qatar. The building does not only accommodate Austria's political representation but also an office of the Foreign Trade Department of the Federal Economic Chamber (WKO). Qatar has abundant gas and oil resources. Boasting a per-capita GDP of 88,200 US dollars (65,900 euro), Qatar is considered the richest country in the world.
The World Policy Conference took place at Hofburg in Vienna from 8 to 11 December 2011. Leading representatives of the political and economic arenas as well as of the religious communities participated in the conference. Among the attendees were Austrian Federal President Heinz Fischer, Turkish President Abdullah Gül, Israel's Minister of Defence Ehud Barak as well as the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I. In his opening remarks President Fischer argued in favour of financial market regulation.
On 12 December 2011 Minister of Economy and Energy Reinhold Mitterlehner presented the Green Electricity Report 2011, emphasising: "Green electricity has developed favourably and dynamically, and the new Eco-Electricity Act will provide further impetus".
"Expecting a total share of funded green energy of 17.7 per cent for 2015, we will even exceed our target of 15 per cent", said Mitterlehner. Producing 68 per cent of its electric from renewable energies, Austria is the number one in an EU comparison. It is also among the countries boasting above-average shares of renewable energies in the total energy supply.
About one million people have a per-capita household income below the at-risk-of-poverty threshold, which was 1,031 euro monthly in Austria in 2010. This is one of the findings of the EU-SILC data that are gathered annually in all Member States of the European Union and therefore also describe the income and living situation in Austria. "Although the poverty threshold rose due to a general increase in income, the number of people at risk of poverty has remained stable. This is mainly due to the tax reform adopted in 2008, the wage agreements and employment policy measures." This stable trend also supported the overall economy. "Social transfers are spent mainly on consumption and help to stabilise the economy, especially in times of crisis, underlined Minister for Social Affairs Rudolf Hundstorfer. Austria has the second-highest at-risk-of-poverty threshold in the EU, behind Luxembourg."
The Austrian municipalities (excluding Vienna) have succeeded in improving their financial situation considerably in 2010. This fact was revealed in the Financial Report of the Municipalities for 2011, published on 16 December 2011. Compared to the previous year, the total expenses were cut by at least two per cent, while the total income dropped by only 0.4 per cent. The municipalities decreased above all investment expenditure, especially for road construction and hydraulic engineering. However, they also cut subsidies for the economy and funding of the cultural sector.
The auditors of the US rating agency Standard & Poor's (S&P) are holding numerous talks in Vienna to examine the creditworthiness of the Republic of Austria. Austria hopes that it will not lose its triple A (the best rating awarded by S&P) in the new S&P assessment of domestic bonds. A downgrade by rating agencies usually leads to higher interest payments on newly issued bonds.
As the Austrian Statistical Office (Statistik Austria) calculated based on preliminary data, the volume of goods imports in the period January to September 2011 totalled 97.08 billion euro, exceeding the level of the same period of 2010 by 17.3%. Austrian goods exports also increased by 14.2% to 91.10 billion euro. The Austrian trade balance showed a deficit of 5.98 billion euro.
Austria will be able to decide independently whether to admit gigaliners on its roads or not. In its plenary session in Strasbourg on 15 December 2011 the European Parliament voted against the EU-wide authorisation of the 25-meter long lorries weighing 60 tons known as "gigaliners". Minister of Transport Doris Bures had said "a clear no to gigaliners" from the very beginning. Three studies confirm the adverse effects of the mega trucks on road safety, infrastructure expenditure and rail cargo transport
Economic analysts paint gloomy economic scenarios almost on a daily basis. Caution prevails in most company headquarters all over the world. But in Austria enterprises apparently refuse to believe in a new crisis. This is the result of a recent survey by the Austrian Society for Marketing (OGM). Only 14 per cent of the 315 large enterprises polled in Austria at the end of November expected a crisis in the next year. 42 per cent were, however, convinced that the economic situation would remain unchanged or even improve significantly. The rest was ambivalent about the future – be it wishful thinking or forced optimism. But after all, most Austrian enterprises have made sizeable profits and investments during the current year.
In tune with the spirit of the season, a comprehensive special exhibition of Vienna's Museum of Art History (Kunsthistorisches Museum/KHM) presents 180 "winter artworks" from the Middle Ages to the present. Some of the exhibits are loans from 30 museums, while one fourth comes from the KHM's own collection. The spotlight is turned on Dutch painting. The KHM itself owns a leitmotif of winter painting, Brueghel's "Hunters in the Snow". The rural winter landscapes of the Dutch Golden Age – painted during Europe's Little Ice Age – unfold before the onlookers. The museum-goers are fascinated by the snow-covered landscapes of serene beauty and scenes of winter festivities.
The show also presents paintings of the four seasons (the winter paintings are juxtaposed with works depicting the other seasons), allegories and some selected still life paintings such as Giuseppe Arcimboldo's "Winter". Besides the painted interpretations of the cold season, objects such as winter slides, china and tapestries may be admired at KHM until 8 January 2012.www.khm.at/
In its large-scale tenth anniversary exhibition, Leopold Museum presents its Schiele collection, along with Vienna Actionism as well as contemporary art, dance and theatre. The part of the exhibition curated by Elisabeth Leopold traces the first solo exhibition of Schiele at Kunstsalon Miethke in 1911 and investigates the relationship between Schiele's oeuvre and the work of Kokoschka, Gothic art and Indonesian shadow puppets. The section compiled by Diethard Leopold juxtaposes Schiele with representatives of Vienna Actionism, such as Rudolf Schwarzkogler and Günter Brus, as well as contemporary artists. Leopold's concept is based on the hypothesis that the topicality of an artist is not determined by the market or the audience but contemporary artists. The dancer and choreographer Philipp Gehmacher created "Grey Room with Egon Schiele", combining self-portraits of Schiele with his own works. Theatre maker Claudia Bosse developed installations with foam materials and listening booths in the main hall of Leopold Museum. Visual arts take centre stage thanks to Franz Graf and Elke Krystufek. The exhibitions "The Excitement Continues" and "Hermann Nitsch – Structures"complete the show running until 30 January 2012. www.leopoldmuseum.org
The photographer, drawer and film director Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004) had already won renown as the embodiment of modern photography during his lifetime. He was influenced by the surrealists around André Breton and the philosophy of Zen Buddhism. He inspired generations of photographers with his specific aesthetics and his rich oeuvre before devoting himself to painting and drawing in his later years.
His book "The Decisive Moment" is one of the most frequently cited publications in the history of photography. As a member of the photography agency Magnum Photos (co-founded by him in 1947), he set new standards in first-rate photojournalism committed to social issues. The exhibition "Henri Cartier-Bresson. The Compass in the Eye: America-India-Soviet Union" highlights critical phases in the history of these countries based on 214 photos and several documentary films. The show closing on 26 February 2012 was developed in cooperation with Magnum Photos and Fondation Henri-Cartier-Bresson.www.kunsthauswien.com/
The show "No fashion, please!" curated by Peter Weiermair comprises 15 solo presentations of young international fashion, zeitgeist and magazine photographers, incorporating sequences, photo-text collages and videos. Clothes become part of a narrative mis-en-scène, expressing ideals of changing body aesthetics as well as projections of a fantastic "wishful reality". The works of artists such as Jeff Bark, Leigh Bowery, Izima Kaoru, Alex Prager and Sophia Wallace are showcased until 22 January 2012.www.kunsthallewien.at/
The exhibition about work at the Vienna Museum of Technology is not only modern, refreshing and humorous but also enhances knowledge transfer. On 1,300 square metres it offers a section devoted to cultural history (to be displayed for four years) as well as an interactive, highly participatory exhibition space boasting state-of-the-art technology thanks to numerous sponsors. A highlight shown for the first time is the so-called "bionic trunk" (a bionic handling assistant inspired in an elephant's trunk). The participatory exhibition – highly recommendable also for children – may be visited until 24 June 2012. "It is more difficult to explain work to children than a locomotive or all the technical gadgets of the world", said Museum Director Gabriele Zuna-Kratky.
As several curators worked on the exhibition for two years, very different positions on work are represented in it. "Our goal was to highlight economic and social connections but also the mental and physical effects of work", stated Scientific Coordinator Hubert Weitensfelder. As links between the past and present are established consistently, the visitors do not walk through model workshops but find themselves immersed in different work contexts that invite them to become active. Project Manager Bernadette Decristoforo considers informal learning, common experiences and exchanges with adults to be of crucial importance: "Children only distinguish between joy and pain but they do not know the work-leisure dichotomy of the adults". The Museum of Technology developed an educational workbook as well as a quiz for preparing or following up visits to the exhibition.www.technischesmuseum.at/
Bernhard Ensemble – directed by Grischka Voss and Ernst Kurt Weigel – presents a work drawing on Schnitzler's marriage drama and psychological study "The Vast Domain" as well as David Lynch's film "Lost Highway". Narrative strands and characters of these works were used as inspiration (the five members of Bernhard Ensemble play several characters), but completely new texts were written for this play performed at Off-Theater in Kirchengasse in Vienna (until 28 January 2012).
In the setting of a living room and a garden shed, heavy with obscure Lynch references, the action on the stage shows what Schnitzler failed to say. The citizens of the fin de siècle are the globally acting bobos of today hiding their emotional problems behind political correctness. A mother and mystery character uncovers the painful unconscious life of the married couple. Factory-owner Forfeiter is undergoing a midlife crisis, gets lost in the turmoil of his dark soul and finds himself trapped in a mysterious parallel work of greed, lust, fraud, jealousy and disorientation, turning him into a murderer. www.bernhard-ensemble.at
The 20th edition of the "Resonanzen" festival of early music at Vienna's Konzerthaus (from 14 to 22 January 2012) will present well-known celebrities and audience-favourites. Besides ten concerts, the festival offers a wide range of events under the motto "In Vienna".
The festival will be opened with "L'oracolo in Messenia" (conductor Fabio Biondi), Vivaldi'' last opera preserved only in fragments. On 15 January 2012 "Vorstadtballade" will lure the audience to the "largest inn of the Holy Roman Empire", as dramaturg Peter Reichelt put it. "Minnesang und Bauernschelte" will be performed by Ensemble Unicorn (led by Michael Posch) on 17 January 2012. "Amusing Incidents" are offered on 18 January 2012 by the Cappella della Pietà de' Turchini, conducted by Antonio Florio, with funny intermezzi and ballet music by Nicola Matteis. The concert on 19 January 2012 will be "rhythmical, very complex and delicate": Mala Punica conducted by Pedro Memelsdorff will perform works by Johannes Ciconia. "A Little Serenade" – but without Mozart – will be presented by Italian soprano Roberta Invernizzi on 20 January 2012. The main festival programme also includes the ensemble "Schikaneders Jugend", which had participated in the series devoted to young talents titled "Vorspiele" ("Preludes") two years ago.
Besides the traditional series "Preludes" and "Postludes" with promising talents as well as film screenings at "Resonanzen Lounge", this year's programme features again an exhibition on "Building Historical Instruments"; the musical instrument makers will "fill Konzerthaus with wonderful sounds for a weekend", said project manager Julika Meixner.
A supporter from the early days of the festival, Spanish musician Jordi Savall, will conclude "Resonanzen" with the ensemble "Le Concert des Nations" and a trip through "A Musical Europe".
Based on a pilot project (since 2004, currently about 40 schools), a new model of higher secondary education (as from the 5th grade of secondary school) was developed. In accordance with the objectives of the government programme, each term the syllabus will focus on different subjects ("competence modules"). The new concept of higher secondary education offers various benefits, e.g.:
• a more concentrated and improved atmosphere for learning by dividing the syllabus into "competence modules",• better preparation for university education,• improving the motivation of pupils,• teaching tailored to the needs of pupils, • a new culture of teaching and learning.
Minister of Education Claudia Schmied plans to offer the first regular master degree programme at Pedagogical Universities already in the next academic year. To this end, the University Act will be amended. Master degree programmes are currently offered only as in-service training courses against payment of a fee; they are not accessible to the public.
Federal Chancellor Werner Faymann is willing to resume the discussions within the Social Democratic Party (SPÖ) on university tuition fees and/or loan models for students although a majority in the SPÖ rejected tuition fees. Different models could be examined as long as they would not act as a barrier for students from financially disadvantaged families, stated the Chancellor after the meeting of the Council of Ministers on 13 December 2011. Recently SPÖ members had presented models that were worth considering provided that nobody would be prevented from studying.
The aim of the peers project "Intercultural Skills" conducted at Upper Austrian schools is to enhance motivation for integration and reduce prejudices – the target group are pupils of the same age. According to Secretary of State for Integration Sebastian Kurz, peers could often achieve more than social workers and school psychologists. At present 25 teens are trained as "peers". Their task is to convey a message "that an attitude of openness to others is cool", explained Youth Councillor of Upper Austria Doris Hummer.
In parallel, the project would be evaluated scientifically, stated Hummer. Secretary of State Kurz announced that the project could be introduced also in other regions of Austria.
The Austrian Academy of Sciences (Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften/ÖAW) and its Chinese equivalent, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, entered into a cooperation agreement to conduct joint experiments in quantum physics in space and to develop the necessary technologies and infrastructure.
The Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the ÖAW, whose Vienna branch was set up jointly with the University of Vienna, will cooperate in developing the necessary space and earth technologies. The invitation from China was "a tribute to research in Vienna", the ÖAW was pleased to inform.
Domestic farmers consider the plant disease "fire blight" a dreaded enemy of fruit trees. Researchers of the Vienna University of Technology (TU) developed a natural agent against this plant disease – and also claim to have tested it successfully. Heidrun Halbwirth received the silver medal of the Korea International Women's Invention Exposition (KIWIE) awarded for research work leading to concrete inventions. Various companies have expressed their interest in applying the research findings to develop a marketable product in the near future.
The Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration was placed 28th among the 75 best European universities of economics in the "European Business School Ranking 2011" recently published by the "Financial Times".
We scored points thanks to the international experience of our students. These results benefitted above all the students and graduates. "Nowadays it is not only important what you studied but also at which university you studied", explained the rector of the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration Christoph Badelt.
The 2011 Prize for "Integration Through Sport" was awarded by Minister of Sport Norbert Darabos and Secretary of State for Integration Sebastian Kurz at the House of Sports in early December. Tribute was paid to the 19 prize winners for highly sustainable and innovative projects promoting the integration of people with a migration background. This prize has been granted for the fourth time by the Austrian Integration Fund.
Minister of Sport Norbert Darabos: "Sport makes an important contribution to the integration of socially disadvantaged groups in our society. Austria has a longstanding tradition of making sports accessible to all, including the socially weakest groups. The Ministry of Sport funds numerous projects of sports organisations focusing on this issue. Today we wish to call those people before the curtain who support these meaningful initiatives and to express our thanks".
The award ceremony was attended by successful athletes such as Liu Jia and Mirna Jukic. The European champions in table tennis and swimming acted as role models motivating young people to become active in sports.
"With 70 entries for the prize, we achieved another record for the fourth time in a row. The welcomed great interest expressed in this prize highlights the commitment of the Austrian sports associations to supporting integration", said Alexander Janda, Managing Director of the Austrian Integration Fund.
A total of 19 project sponsors received awards in three categories. The two main prizes of the year 2011, each worth 3,000 euro, go to:
• "Mobile Sports Care" initiated by Rosa Sport & Wellness and the Vienna branch of the Working Community of Sports and Physical Education (ASKÖ); the organisers of the project approach women and mothers of Arab origin on children's playgrounds to offer them tailored sports programmes;• "Integration Cup Austria 2011" of the United Nations Alianza Latina; teams with a migrant share of at least 50 per cent compete in various disciplines, from volleyball to Hip Hop. • 1,000 euro in prize money go to seven projects; 200 euro are granted in recognition of ten selected projects.
On 13 January 2012 the first Winter Youth Olympic Games will be opened officially in Innsbruck. 1,059 athletes from 67 nations will compete on nine days in a total of 63 events for gold, silver and bronze medals. On 6 December 2011 the first three medals produced for this event were presented in the presence of Minister of Sport Norbert Darabos in the ceremonial hall of Münze Österreich AG. The gold, silver and bronze medals for the Games in Innsbruck are 70 millimetres in diameter, weigh 110 grams and are made of bronze; the medals for the first place are plated with gold, those for the second rank with silver.
"The go-ahead has been given for the final and decisive preparations", stated Darabos. "With the premiere of the Winter Youth Olympic Games, we will once more take centre stage in the world of sport. And we wish to deliver perfect competitions and a unique atmosphere at this event for athletes aged between 15 and 18 years." Karl Stoss, President of the Austrian Olympic Committee, emphasised: "The International Olympic Committee selected Innsbruck as the host of the Winter Youth Olympic Games because one can safely assume that everything will be organised smoothly. Not without good reason, as Innsbruck did not only organise Olympic Games twice but has also acted as a host of numerous other large-scale events in the past few years."
The ski season is drawing near. Hundreds of thousands of people will be skiing and snowboarding on Austrian ski slopes also this winter. On 13 December 2011 the Ministry of the Interior launched the initiative "Safe on Austrian Ski Slopes". The Austrian Ski Association, UNIQA (Austria's largest insurance group) and the Austrian drivers' association ÖAMTC will act as project partners. According to Minister of the Interior Johanna Mikl-Leitner, the aim is to encourage skiers and snowboarders "to familiarise themselves with the relevant rules for the ski slopes". To make sure that this project will become a success, the website www.sicher-auf-der-piste.at does not only offer safety recommendations but also a contest for kids and teens aged between 10 and 18 years.

Gritty look at corruption in New Orleans
By VIDEOMONSTER (252 reviews) from Glasgow , 22 Aug 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
This movie certainly is gritty. Unfortunately that's all it has going for it. The performances aren't particularly great. Val Kilmer seems to be on autopilot, you will notice the difference if you see Spartan. Curtis Jackson can't act period. Sharon Stone just about manages a southern accent. The movie offers nothing new on corruption, though it is good in terms of the scenery, as you can feel some of the devastation of hurricane katrina.
A major disappointment.- Was this review helpful to you?

Cool Cop Caper
By a customer from Midlands , 28 Sep 2010New Orleans in the aftermath of the deluge and desolation of Hurricane Katrina. Battle lines are obscured for law enfocers. Corrupt cops, doped up DEA in too deep, FBI breathing down everyones neck. Gunfights at the drop of a hat it's like the wild west out there. Just as the situation appears to be spiralling out of control and lawlessness looms, an officer (Val Kilmer) emerges. Following the law to the letter he crusades toward ridding the force of rats and weasels. Grainy documentry type styling almost gives this a B movie feel, however the story is carried well to conclusion. Fairly decent Cop movie. Pride and Glory (Edward Norton) and Street Kings (Keanu Reeves) are worth a look if you liked this Serpico (Al Pacino) if you liked this alot.- Was this review helpful to you?

Confidential 9/11 pager messages disclosed
As the World Trade Center and Pentagon were ablaze on September 11, 2001, the U.S. Secret Service's presidential protective detail was informed that a "Korean airliner has been hijacked" en route to San Francisco, prompting already-skittish agents to worry about another wave of terrorist attacks.
That morning and afternoon, Secret Service agents assigned to protect the president and his family found their pagers constantly buzzing with alerts both true and false. There was a false alarm about a car bomb in downtown Washington, D.C., a report of "two Arab males detained" after asking … Read more

Sunday's Letters to the Editor
Published: Sunday, December 16, 2012 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 14, 2012 at 4:30 p.m.
Not so smart
EDITOR: I like train travel more than most people I know, but even I'm beginning to admit that something smells fishy with SMART.
After stealing money from the bike path to buy more rail cars ("County shifts $6.6 million to SMART," Tuesday), it's crystal clear that SMART has no intention of ever completing the path. Why would they do this? Could it be because SMART only used the bike path as a ploy to get Measure Q passed? Or is it because they want to reduce alternate transportation choices and have the train be the only option?
The train isn't even running yet, so how can SMART justify the need for more rail cars? They don't know the demand. Saying "the price probably would increase and delivery probably would be delayed" is not very reassuring.
On the other hand, it has been clear for years that there is a great demand for a bike path that connects the North Bay.
This decision is only going to hurt SMART because it limits people's access to convenient and varied transportation choices. And when you limit transit choices, people will continue to go with what works for them — driving on Highway 101.
You're not so smart after all.
Santa Rosa
Fitch Mountain
EDITOR: I am so happy that my City Council members voted to spend a million bucks or so of our tax money to buy the top of Fitch Mountain ("Mountaintop to be park," Monday). This will prevent a few mega homes from being built and will give the public access to this wonderful land in three years.
Now it is true that the citizens have access to this land today. I've hiked up there many times on the trails and fire roads. But now that the city owns it and has farmed out the management of the land to the Land Paths organization, I am sure the hiking experience will be augmented . . . in three years.
Another brilliant bureaucratic coup (using our tax money) for the "no changes necessary to our pensions" City Council of Healdsburg.
TIM McGRAW
Fair tax
EDITOR: Democrats? Republicans? Who cares? They want equality, yet they make decisions to favor themselves and their super PACs most of the time, I believe.
Income taxation with a sincere equality is a no-brainer: Gross income less $30,000 (for our hard workers but applicable to the rich, too), less all other taxes paid, (mortgage interest, health insurance premium and college expenses will also help for our healthy economy if they can be deducted) equals adjusted gross income times 10 percent (example only) equals income tax due. That would be $5,000 for an adjusted gross income of $50,000 or $50,000 for an AGI of $500,000.
What could be fairest than that? It would also be fair to eliminate the capital gains tax, the estate tax, etc. After-tax dollars must never be taxed again. Actual cash earned and received must be the only meaning of income, nothing else.
Rohnert Park
Memo to the mayor
EDITOR: I have two pieces of advice for Scott Bartley, Santa Rosa's new mayor ("Honeymoon over for mayor," Thursday). First, develop a thicker skin. As a public official, everything you do and say will be held up to scrutiny; get used to it. Second, read Dale Carnegie's book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People," and internalize the principles. It might help, Mr. Mayor.
Santa Rosa
Holiday hearts
EDITOR: I was out on my "day off" errands and had the occasion to be at Chloe's Cafe, Kaiser, Copperfield's Books in Montgomery Village and Parkpoint Santa Rosa. All these places have kindly agreed to display a Giving Tree with the names of kids and adults in Sonoma County who need help with a gift this Christmas. The Volunteer Center helps to coordinate the gift collection every year.
I could not help but notice the large amount of hearts still on the trees. Christmas is just days away, so please grab a heart or two, and go make that special purchase if you truly want to experience the spirit of Christmas. There are many social workers, foster parents, nurses and teachers who want to get the gifts delivered to worthy families before Santa is due in town. So, be good and make someone smile this holiday season.

Associate Editor Steve Roach reports from the courtroom that the federal jury has rendered an unanimous verdict in favor of the government in the 1933 double eagle trial. A press conference is in progress. The Langbords left immediately upon hearing the verdict.
The verdict establishes that the government is the owner of the 10 1933 double eagles. The Langbord family turned over to the government the 10 coins in 2003 seeking an opinion on authenticity. The government confiscated the coins instead of returning them to the family. The Langbords had filed suit claiming ownership rights.

When the Wind Had Teeth
It was reported that the 12,000,000 tons of dirt fell. It drifted like snow against homes and buildings. 50 m.p.h winds coupled with scorching temperatures in the 90s and only 13% humidity added to the misery. Trees were stripped of branches and leaves. Tulip beds withered. Housewives who had just completed their spring cleaning now had to fight back the dust and dirt that found every available crack. Street lights and electrical wires were down and one report stated the the clouds of dust reached two miles into the air. Airplanes were grounded because of poor visibility
Today we recall the effects of this Depression era event as happening in "The Dust Bowl." But, this storm was different. It was early May of 1934; the 10th and 11th to be exact. But, it wasn't Iowa, or Kansas or Nebraska (although they suffered too). It wasn't even Oklahoma. It was Chicago.
On May 12th the storm would reach the eastern seaboard and the sun would be blotted out in Washington, DC.

As someone who is suffering from allergies dreadfully today, the thing I want to say is that I can't imagine how people with allergies and asthma faired during that time. How miserable they must've been. How miserable everyone must've been.

The 32-year-old Finn will be expected to capitalise on his 13-round programme -compared to Sebastien Loeb's four-event campaign - by pushing to become world champion for the first time having finished runner-up to Loeb on four previous occasions, including in 2012.
Speaking at the launch of the new-look Citroen Total Abu Dhabi World Rally Team in the Middle East yesterday, Hirvonen said: "It gives maybe a little bit more responsibility [being nominated to score manufacturers' points on all 13 rounds] but the team is absolutely fantastic, it has a lot of experience.
"In a way I'm still quite happy Sebastien is doing a few rallies and maybe he can still be part of the testing as well. Also [my new team-mate] Dani [Sordo] is familiar with the team so I don't feel like I have all the pressure on my shoulders and I'm not a lone in the team. I'm sure we all work together like this year, we were really strong as a whole team and I'm sure we can do the same next year."
Of his aim for the 2013 season, which gets underway on Rallye Monte-Carlo next month, Hirvonen said: "Now that I have my first season with Citroen under my belt, I feel ready for this new challenge. I have been world championship runner-up four times, so the next logical step is to aim for first place."
Did you know? Hirvonen would become Finland's seventh different world champion rally driver if he triumphed in 2013.

Apple's Find My iPhone app gets driving directions
Apple today made a slight new addition to its Find My iPhone software (iTunes), with a tweak that gives owners driving directions right to a lost device.
Under the previous system, users saw only the precise location on a map with the option to refresh. The new update shows your device's location just like a point of interest within Apple's maps software, with the option to fire up driving directions by tapping a car icon.
In practice this means you can now hunt down a device's location without having to guesstimate a location and switch over to … Read more

Surgery treats a hernia by repairing the weakness in the abdominal wall. An incision is made so the surgeon has a direct view of the hernia. The repair is then done through this incision (open surgery). To repair the defect, muscle and connective tissue may be sewn (sutured) together to make a "traditional repair." Follow your doctor's advice on how to get ready for the procedure. You can usually go home the same day as your surgery. In some cases, though, you may need to stay in the hospital overnight.
Your doctor will talk with you about preparing for surgery. Follow all the instructions you're given and be sure to:
Tell your doctor about any medications, supplements, or herbs you take. This includes both prescription and over-the-counter items.
Stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen as directed.
Arrange for an adult family member or friend to give you a ride home after surgery.
Stop smoking. Smoking affects blood flow and can slow healing.
Gently wash the surgical area the night before surgery.
Don't eat or drink after midnight, the night before your surgery.
Arrive at the hospital or surgical center at your scheduled time. You'll be asked to change into a patient gown. You'll then be given an IV to provide fluids and medication. Shortly before surgery, an anesthesiologist will talk with you. He or she will explain the types of anesthesia used to prevent pain during surgery. You will have one or more of the following:
Monitored sedation to make you relaxed and sleepy.
Local anesthesia to numb the surgical site.
Regional anesthesia to numb specific areas of your body.
General anesthesia to let you sleep during surgery.
Hernia surgery is safe, but does have risks including:
Anesthesia risks
Mesh complications
Inability to urinate
Numbness or pain in the groin or leg
Risk the hernia will recur
Damage to the testicles or testicular function
Bowel or bladder injury
To make a traditional repair, an incision is made over the hernia. The muscle tissue surrounding the weak area is then sewn together to repair the defect. The incision is closed with stitches, staples, surgical tape, or special glue. This method can be used to repair any type of hernia.
When the procedure is over, you'll be taken to the recovery area to rest. Your blood pressure and heart rate will be monitored. You'll also have a bandage over the surgical site. To help reduce discomfort, you'll be given pain medications. You may also be given breathing exercises to keep your lungs clear. Later, you'll be asked to get up and walk. This helps prevent blood clots in the legs. You can go home when your doctor says you're ready.

The Bedford Diaries [TV Series]
An "ensemble drama" along the lines of The O.C. -- but with characters who wore more clothes and stayed indoors more often -- the WB network's weekly, hour-long Bedford Diaries was set at fictional Bedford college, a liberal-arts establishment somewhere in Manhattan (the series was lensed on-location at Barnard College).The focus of the drama was "Sex and the Human Condition," a seminar presided over by Kinsey-like professor Jack Macklin. Heading the cast was onetime Gilmore Girls co-star Milo Ventimiglia as Richard Thorne III, a wealthy student and recovering alcoholic, who was rather sweet on straight-A student Sarah Gregory (Tiffany DuPont) -- who in turn was having an affair with one of the teachers. Owen Gregory (Penn Badgley), Sarah's brother, was dating the resident (and self-proclaimed) "nutcase," Natalie Dykstra (Corri English). Other enrollees included freshman Lee Rasmussen (Ernest Waddell), torn between his high-school sweetheart and classroom seductress Zoe Lopez (Victoria Cartagena); Macklin's assistant, Prof. Carla Bonatella (Audra McDonald); and Harold Harper (Peter Gerety), Bedford's dean. Originally slated to debut in February 2006, Bedford Diaries did not make its WB bow until March 29 of that year, due to its producers' trepidations over presenting such raw, uninhibited material in an era of heavy FCC fines (virtually all of the episodes dealt with a particularly lurid aspect of contemporary sexuality, albeit always stressing personal responsibility over the antiquated "if it feels good, do it" attitude). However, the series was telecast uncut in Canada, and was likewise uncensored on the WB's Internet web stream. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

There, on the concrete courts of New Jersey, Josh makes the acquaintance of a talented young basketball player named Antwon (Kevin Phillips). Together, Josh and Antwon form a formidable team on the court, a team that could accomplish great things if it wasn't for the racism that's about to set these streets ablaze. Will Josh and Antwon's friendship prove strong enough to endure the challenges that lit ahead and lead them to true victory? Wyclef Jean provides original music for this gritty sports drama from director Phil Bertelsen. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Wire: Homecoming
Stringer's (Idris Elba) "legitimate" real estate associates are soaking him for bribe after bribe. Colvin's (Robert Wisdom) "provisional legalization" program, which the hoppers call "Hamsterdam," seems to be working. Colvin orders his troops to spare no effort in deterring dealers from staying on their corners, and they go wild with it. Avon (Wood Harris), fresh out of jail, is upset to hear about his crew's run-ins with Marlo (Jamie Hector). He wants to take a run at him, but Stringer wants to keep trying to talk to Marlo. Stringer wants to worry about the wholesale business of supply and money laundering, not the petty retail squabbles of who runs what corners. Kima (Sonja Sohn) and McNulty (Dominic West) tell Daniels (Lance Reddick) about Stringer's meeting with Marlo, but he's tells them, "This unit is about the bodies," and the Western District has been quiet. Avon has Cutty (Chad L. Coleman) and Slim Charles (Anwan Glover) take a run at Marlo. But Barksdale's crew doesn't have the muscle it once did. Bubbles (Andre Royo) tells Kima about the bodies dropping, but Daniels gets fed up with McNulty and Kima usurping his authority, and refuses to reassign the unit, so Kima suggests that McNulty go around him. Carcetti (Aidan Gillen) and D'Agostino (Brandy Burre) think if there's a black candidate running against Royce (Glynn Turman) in the primary to split the black vote, and Carcetti can get the support of someone like Odell Watkins (Frederick Strother), he might have a chance. Bunk (Wendell Pierce) gets permission to work his murder case, and arranges a face-to-face meeting with Omar (Michael K. Williams), taking the opportunity to lecture the man about his effect on the community. Donette (Shamyl Brown) talks to Brianna (Michael Hyatt) about her relationship with Stringer, and about McNulty's visit. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Haunted
Even while recovering from wounds sustained in a shootout, Detective Fin Tutuola (Ice-T) insists upon following a new lead on a case he'd worked on as undercover cop years before. Having promised a woman who has since been murdered that he would locate her drug-addicted daughter, Tutuola intends to keep his promise, teaming up with rookie narcotics-squad cop Mike Sandoval (Nicholas Gonzalez) for that purpose. Along the way, Fin has a bittersweet reunion with his estranged son Ken (Ernest Waddell) ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Wire: Straight and True
Bubbles (Andre Royo) has been working as a CI, and Johnny (Leo Fitzpatrick) is not happy about it. He convinces Bubbles to pull a small-time scam. McNulty (Dominic West) get fed up watching Stringer (Idris Elba) and decides to confront the man directly. Stringer tries to sell him a condo, leading McNulty to lament, "You disappointed me, String. I had such f***ing high hopes for us." Later, Kima (Sonja Sohn), watching Marlo (Jamie Hector), makes a discovery that will bring joy to McNulty. Colvin (Robert Wisdom), having failed to get the corner boys to move of their own volition, decides to go over their heads, and eventually has to go to Daniels' (Lance Reddick) unit to find out who the drug lieutenants are in his district. Colvin explains to them that police will only be in the designated locations to prevent violence, and will not arrest them for dealing. He also threatens to crush those who choose to stay on the corners. The cops even end up rounding up customers for the dealers, but Marlo, for one, refuses to play along. Just before Avon (Wood Harris) is released on parole, Baltimore's drug kingpins meet and agree to Stringer's plan to team up to get a better deal from his New York suppliers. Bunk (Wendell Pierce) is developing leads on the double homicide involving Omar (Michael K. Williams), but his superiors again force him to focus on tracking down the missing police weapon. Carcetti (Aidan Gillen) learns about a state's witness who was murdered, and quietly makes his displeasure known to Royce (Glynn Turman), who promises swift action to prevent further such incidents. McNulty meets D'Agostino (Brandy Burre) at an event for his son's school, and the two hit it off, after a fashion. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

The Wire: Dead Soldiers
Omar (Michael K. Williams) hits another Barksdale stash house, but this time, they're better prepared for him, and in the ensuing gun battle, a member of each crew is killed. Bunk (Wendell Pierce) catches the double homicide, and quickly realizes that Omar was involved, but he's also under tremendous pressure to complete an impossible task. For PR purposes, he's been instructed to recover Officer Dozerman's gun, which was stolen after Dozerman was shot. Carcetti (Aidan Gillen) continues to put pressure on the mayor, going to the press with the news that the next police academy class has been postponed for budgetary reasons. An irate Royce (Glynn Turman) orders Burrell (Frankie Faison) to take responsibility for the postponement, angering the commissioner. Prop Joe (Robert F. Chew) warns Stringer (Idris Elba) that the police are listening to their phone conversations. He also tells Stringer "what kills more police than bullets and liquor." It's boredom. "Keep it boring, String," he advises. With the wire dead, Daniels (Lance Reddick) assigns his team a new target in East Baltimore. McNulty (Dominic West) is still obsessed with Stringer, however, and continues to investigate D'Angelo's death. Bodie's (J.D. Williams) crew continues to encroach on one of Marlo's (Jamie Hector) corners, leading to violence. Cutty (Chad L. Coleman) visits an ex-girlfriend who tries to hook him up with a job opportunity. Bunny Colvin (Robert Wisdom), under increasing pressure to reduce felonies in his district, devises a radical plan to make some abandoned blocks in the neighborhood an enforcement-free zone, and coerce the dealers to move there. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

The Wire: All Due Respect
Omar (Michael K. Williams) and his crew continue to plague Avon's (Wood Harris) crew, robbing another stash, prompting Stringer (Idris Elba) to double the muscle at all his stash houses. Stringer's lieutenants make their sales pitch to the other gangs, but Bodie (J.D. Williams) has a difficult time convincing one strong-minded independent dealer, Marlo (Jamie Hector) of their common cause. Carcetti (Aidan Gillen) gets Stan Valchek (Al Brown) to help him pressure Burrell (Frankie Faison) to cooperate with him. Burrell is loath to go behind the mayor's back, but reaches what seems to be a mutually beneficial agreement with Carcetti. McNulty (Dominic West) investigates D'Angelo Barksdale's apparent suicide in prison, and visits Donette (Shamyl Brown) to tell her that D'Angelo might have been murdered. Cutty (Chad L. Coleman) gives straight life a try, getting day work as a landscaper, and finds it difficult. Cheese's (Method Man) loss at a dogfight leads to murder. It also causes confusion among Daniels' (Lance Reddick) team about what they're hearing on the wire. Ronnie (Deirdre Lovejoy) realizes that Daniels is no longer living with his wife, and pursues him. Kima (Sonja Sohn) is having a difficult time adjusting to domestic life with a new baby. During an undercover hand-to-hand buy and bust in the Western District, one of the officers under Bunny's (Robert Wisdom) command is shot, leading him to further question the good he's done over the course of his long law enforcement career. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

In his last e-letter, David Allen wrote: 'Before you spend another minute creating yet another list with ABC, 123, or high-medium-low codes as a way to define your priorities, read my essay this month. You may discover there's a more natural path for getting you what you need to get the right things done.'
I create the list in the evening for the next day. That allows me to do my top priority projects first (aka most important tasks, big stones, etc). When I'm allowed to choose in the moment I tend to choose easier tasks instead of doing my priority.
Are you agree with David Allen statement?

More shoes, more weeping and popcorn that won't give you cancer. Probably.

Only keeping the things I need to live seems awfully boring.

So some media hacks really believe a video sparked the attacks on our embassies -- even want to try the filmmakers for murder.
So once again their overarching concern is for.
Causes of Muslim rage rather than the -- itself.
But we know there's no justification for the ravages of savages.
And to take -- movie sparked the violence is irrelevant.
By the way I hate the phrase sparked -- something sparked an assault you would assume it would not happen on the solemn day that commemorates -- most devastating tragedy.
Sparked by Islamic extremists.
If you believe that's a coincidence I have a mosque downtown I'd like to sell you.
These media people are delusional.
We are the spark our existence our way of life is one long spark they won't be extinguished that spark.
-- -- reminded by our leaders to reject integration of religion but Christians are the butt of jokes by lazy comics and -- killed in places where jokes don't suffice.
So we really only rejected the integration of one religion -- we're scared.
So we need to stop worrying about what sparks -- and focus on protecting our citizens from this prehistoric evil.
As Hillary Clinton said these acts are -- founding.
-- it is confounding how unprotected our embassies are what's not compounding are the attackers motives they hate us.
Saying violence is no way to -- religion to extremists might as well say a fish is no way to honor up bicycle.
Evil only understands death.
Do you have does anybody believe for a minute that this was not planned.
It out -- for us.
Not here -- -- 2 o'clock in the morning we found out that the embassy was was attacked with that are refugees and that we lost the the ambassador.
I would sued YouTube to see this this film is that thirteen minute 512 trailer of a film -- only had a few thousand views at the time.
So there are probably more people are attacking the embassy that actually view that film this was more than just a reaction to a film this.
As you point out Greg -- if they hate us this is a way of life I mean you want when the giants when there's a whole bunch of New Yorkers who go crazy at giants went it if felt like that same mob mentality that same.
We hate them let's get -- here's an opportunity to do that yet and do we've seen you know he'll get -- was.
Murdered for for writing something that was it has lobbies of the -- rusty fatwa death cartoonist who started draw -- had to -- and hiding out.
We -- we treat Muslim religion differently because we're terrified of them.
Billions of cartoon -- use -- video out but they will use nothing.
We don't forget the British -- embassy was attacked this summer there wasn't anything that supposedly as you said sparked that they hate us and we sat around this table yesterday.
On 9/11 and we said they will continue to go after us and he will continue to kill us that is why when we hear.
Folks in the administration say there's no war on terror it's very very -- and the more we apologize.
The worse it gets Greg they don't carefully say we're sorry they don't care please stand up and say the First Amendment.
They don't care they don't respect our values and they're gonna continue to kill us that's why it's very disappointing when you have the United States cannot first and say.
We're very sorry that we that you were we did something wrong that should not be the -- -- -- I was in Iran the last congressional delegation we took they would Bakhtiar was the president went before he was ousted and -- -- came back in the country.
We looked out the window from the Intercontinental hotel and there were 200000 screaming radical Muslims as a frightening frightening thing we've got out of -- -- we could.
And I would tell you if I'm sitting in an embassy and I had 2003 -- who hate us they do.
This release of this this statement which is not cleared by the US State Department.
I -- injured during the middle of this attack I would release whatever you could possibly released to try to cool it down any thank each well look at.
Our third above the -- this statement was released prior to the mob uprising pride to the killings of statement was out.
Well which candidate -- different things that -- I hear but judge -- -- it I was beefy but.
Obama has been apologizing for us important for our treatment of Muslims since the first month or two -- office and that was his speech in Cairo in June.
He apologized.
For our reaction to 9/11.
Well and quickly his statement at this morning at 722.
Lead with we reject efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others while true it's not the leading message.
Yeah the United States cannot say that we protect religions and religious freedom -- what are we gonna -- I didn't say it was wrong I just didn't say it should be the main opening the team.
Data well how would I mean how do you deal with something like it seems intractable.
-- -- this movie.
They might not even ever seen it it just -- it was it as a diversionary tactic for terror.
In that world of social media.
When I understand that corporations.
Governments individuals they try to get out first with information.
It wasn't just so much that the State Department put out their statement but then they start tweeting.
They tried to reconfirm that there first instinct was not to say.
Get off of our property -- First Avandia and secondly freedom of speech is something that you all fought for and we will help you get there but not if you -- this kind of stuff.
But that -- a -- at the State Department right now I would tell all of my embassy people if there's anything happens here there's no social media.
There's like that because -- first responses are always wrong and they got them in a bunch of trouble.
We -- when there's a lot of unanswered questions here they're gonna have to they're gonna have to start answering things that they said earlier for example.
When the secretary of state says that the -- attack was the work of a -- and savage group.
Not the government -- the people of Libya I hope that's true.
But if this if you leaving it back to one part we find that the coordination somebody had to know where the ambassador was.
And somebody tipped them off and then.
Maybe it is true that the Libyans try to help him to get into the hospital but there's there's a lot more here enemy stagnation -- they should have backed off.
For a minute and one thing we -- you know is it that this brigade.
That it was but -- -- -- that -- consulate.
About six months ago and -- credit report.
So it's not surprising to me that they have both intelligence and ability to do that and use this now maybe somebody stirred up -- -- so they would get to divert.
Well that and yet to either paid or organize in a way that if they use -- videos have been on 9/11.
On 9/11 come forward Islamabad.
Let's show you -- it was I -- and as -- is clearly for the he's already need to meet you talked about did they were fighting for free speech -- -- -- square but do you know if they were really fighting for that -- -- -- fighting for our jobs and higher food prices.
I don't think I -- see Paul Revere and to -- square I don't necessarily think they were looking for a constitution.
And look we -- told Mubarak to go and now we have the Muslim Brotherhood -- -- here at word from the Democrats celebrating mass at the.
To me the most embarrassing -- -- out of this is.
-- -- of the media whether it's MSNBC or even some people here on this network.
Who are a -- exercising moral relativism that somehow saying something that is a joke or offensive about a religion is the same.
As somebody being beheaded or murdered that's idiotic that's -- this is disgusting it is offensive is.
I don't know in the Vietnamese go on the -- and I'm delighted Mubarak is gone uses -- murdered hundreds of thousand egyptians now.
Let's robot come out.

These Old Roots
Singing, Writing, Traveling…
Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish make their home in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The couple has been playing music in some capacity for over 15 years, but honed in on their natural duet abilities 7 years ago when they met for the first time in college. It was their love of folk music that brought them together and has since taken them out on the road to tour fulltime as the award-winning duet they are today.
Writing and singing in the veins of folk and old country music, the Dewdrops entwine harmony singing with tight instrumentation and craft songs that are simple and fine-tuned. Theirs are new songs from the southern mountains that ring with originality.
After their appearance and first place win on a 2008 talent show broadcast of NPR's "A Prairie Home Companion", the Dewdrops began their careers as songwriters and have since released two critically acclaimed albums, "If the Sun Will Shine" (2009) and "These Old Roots" (2010) both of which have charted at the #1 and #2 positions on the Folk DJ-L Charts for 2010.
-Text from www.thehoneydewdrops.com.
Staff Review:
The Honey Dewdrops visited the Garfield County Libraries in the Summer of 2011. Their talents were immediately apparent, and the audience was captivated from moment one. I was glad to have gotten the chance to see them in person, and I think that same feeling was shared by the rest of the crowd. Check out their harmonies on this CD or their other CD, "If the Sun Will Shine", which are both owned by the libraries.
*UPDATE* The Honey Dewdrops will be back this summer! Check out our July calendar for more information.
