During the two-week trial, prosecutors presented about 30 witnesses, including neighbors who testified about hearing the children crying during their unsuccessful attempts to rescue them during the blaze. Parents of the children who died or were injured testified that they had trusted Tata, believing she was qualified.
On Friday, the judge and attorneys met for four hours to draft the jury instructions. The final instructions to the jury were complicated and about 30 pages long. They allowed jurors to consider finding Tata guilty on lesser charges, including second-degree felony child abandonment, state jail felony child abandonment, injury to a child and child endangerment. All of those charges would carry a lighter sentence than felony murder.
After the fire, Tata fled to Nigeria but was captured after about a month and returned to the U.S. in March 2011. She has remained jailed since then. Tata was born in the U.S. but has Nigerian citizenship. She was not charged with a crime at the time she left the country.

Quoting a Diablo 3 Developer:
Yes, because it's all about not doing anything that wouldn't BE FUN isn't it? This excerpt sounds suspiciously like Riot Games' infamous anti-fun philosophy. Let's not punish the player for dying, or add any mechanics that could cause frustration, that wouldn't be fun!I don't think death penalties need to edge into the 'punishment' definition (although I realize that's a confusion of terms) to be worthwhile.
Making sure someone can't endlessly throw themselves against monsters/die/repeat and eventually win is something we'd want to stop. To make the player take pause and realize they're not going to get past them unless they straighten up and pay attention and play better, or take some extra measures to buff up, or simply come up with a different strategy, those are the types of death penalties that work. Those are the ones we like and that I'm talking about.
Taking gold away from people, or taking a full level of experience away, yeah, that's a wake up call. It's also the quickest way to get someone to uninstall the game. A very select few people will put up with something like that. It's fine in Diablo II because gold has almost no use, but imagine if it did. You'd be encouraged through the mechanic to grind in easier areas where you're sure you couldn't die just so you could earn gold safely. That sounds terrible. Without a gold penalty you can play the content you want to play and meanwhile you're finding items and amounts of gold that are relevant. That sounds like fun.
Ironically, they haven't stopped people from endlessly throwing themselves against monsters, dying, resurrecting, then eventually winning the game.
10% durability loss, even on the hardest difficulty (Inferno) is a joke. What's the point of playing the game if you can't even lose? It doesn't matter how good you are/what gear you have if you can just keep resurrecting/repairing until you win.
Oh but of course there's hardcore mode where if you die once you're done forever. This is the kind of terrible all-or-nothing design philosophy Blizzard is famous for.
We waited 15 years for this? Hopefully Torchlight 2 won't be so bad.

What do you want them to do? Even in Darksouls it wasn't terrible to die as much as you did, as long as you learned from your mistake.
Except it could be terrible. Dying twice in a row before you could get your bloodstain, for example. That was irritating but From Software balanced the irritating enough to still be incredibly challenging but still fun and rewarding. An example of doing it right.
Still waiting for that rumored DLC though...can't say I've ever been this excited for DLC.
I've watched enough people play D3 on twith to decide that it's just not even remotely that interesting, really. As someone who played Torchlight but never D2 I just don't see what the hype is about other than nostalgia. Not that Torchlight is perfect...but it's good enough to satiate my need for loot-finding games.

In Darksouls I'm told it got harder if you continued to die, so there was a very serious penalty to just throwing your life away over and over.
Also, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9Wbq...ure=plpp_video
Stay classy, Blizzard.
Tbh virtually all action RPGs play like this. Some just have more light/severe death penalties. Ultimately though a dedicated player will get through it regardless.
While D3 is acceptable, I would say it is highly overrated.
Maybe it's just me, but I find games without any danger of losing an utter waste of time. If it requires no skill to play, then you're just staring at a screen clicking buttons ultimately, no brain activity required. Go outside and jog or ride a bike, you can't lose at those activities, they're enjoyable, and at least you're improving your health while you're at it.
Well if you want to get technical, every game has a limits on its death penalties. At worst you just have to start over (PVP games) or reload the last save usually. At least ARPGs like Darkspore force you to restart the level for heaven's sake.Tbh virtually all action RPGs play like this. Some just have more light/severe death penalties. Ultimately though a dedicated player will get through it regardless.

blizzard fell after warcraft 3, and died with the activision merge.
Well, in the end I think the question you should be asking is 'Did I get my money's worth?'
With a story that takes 12+ hours, I think most people will say yes.
GOTY material? Probably not. Lived up to the hype? Split, but I think more people are weighted towards no, albeit not by much.
You should at least play the game before you bash it. Having played it, I'm going to say it's one of the most perfect games I've ever played.
If you get your rocks off by "winning", then that's fine. Not all of us need that incentive to have a good time. You shouldn't knock a game just because it doesn't fit into your particular design philosophy. And it is a HUGE, absurdly vast jump in logic to say that a game which has a smaller death penalty suddenly takes no skill to play. Let's also keep in mind that broken gear costs a huge amount of gold to get back, and that boss fights have to be completely restarted if everyone dies during one.
I have to say I'm fairly amused by how overly critical the HoN community has been thus far of D3.

Dark Souls >>>>>>>> Everything.
No point in discussing it further. The game makes you a man.
I understand there's gotta be a challenge but to me, dying and having to repeat the content over and over because you can't get through the area is just annoying. I tend to play on the hardest to feel the challenge but repeatedly press F5 throughout the session because if I die, having to repeat the whole thing over again makes me become bored which only leads to putting away the game for days. As you repeat an area you start gaining understanding so the challenge it originally has starts to fade away. In some games I've played, Hard feels like playing on Easy after the 5th death.
It's a different experience walking through a hall and not knowing what's coming next than knowing a lethal trap is laying at the end or that a mob will do X after a certain amount of time.
What I'd want from a game is challenge, death penalties that aren't pointless but most importantly, the game to be dynamic and random enough that if I die due to a trap, I want that trap to now be sitting across the river and not next to the same rock I originally walked through. Or if a group of mobs killed me because they were too strong, I don't want them to be sitting in the same spot next time I come around and/or for me to have a way to walk around like a lot of games do. I want those mobs to now come running behind me when I get to that point and if they kill me again, I want them to drop from the ceiling or come out of the ground the next time. I can't name a single game that does this (modern ones at least). That's the main reason I almost never do more than two playthroughs. It feels pretty pointless if you already know what's coming next.
Edit: Another thing that bugs me is the abudance of healing. Some games may be hard but you can carry like 100 healing pots and pop them all during a fight. Others you can cast heals over and over or hide behind cover for a few seconds until your health comes back up (like in pretty much all FPS games). Some games heal you to full health after leveling and some you gradually heal after coming out of combat. There's a lot of different mechanics to heal the player but they're all easy to come by so even if you play on the highest difficulty the game loses part of the challenge.

"Honestly I think the reason we all get so upset over this game is BECAUSE of how much we love it." -PieRowManSir
Dark Souls is coming to PC gaiz
If you didnt already know
I will say though that the rez tactics that the top teams are using to get through Inferno right now are really BS. I think of it has an abuse of a tactic, and I hope Blizzard makes it less easy to grind down bosses and mobs like this.
Did you kill Diablo on hell with a hardcore character? no? Okay you go do that then get back on me about the difficulty of the game.
Thanks Vahn
Dying is annoying and the durability loss is enough of a punishment. Clearly you haven't gotten to hell where you can die several times on the same elite pack and on top of that if it's far away from the checkpoint you have to walk back each time. Dying isn't fun.

In its first standalone measure of smartphone ownership, the Pew Internet Project finds that one third of American adults – 35% – own smartphones. The Project's May survey found that 83% of US adults have a cell phone of some kind, and that 42% of them own a smartphone. That translates into 35% of all adults. Our definition of a smartphone owner includes anyone who falls into either of the following two categories:
And here's how they feel about their devices:
Smartphone adoption is highest among the affluent and well-educated, the (relatively) young, and non-whites
Several groups have higher than average levels of smartphone adoption, including:
Urban and suburban residents are roughly twice as likely to own a smartphone as those living in rural areas, and employment status is also strongly correlated with smartphone ownership.
Mobile phones are a main source of internet access for one-quarter of the smartphone population
Some 87% of smartphone owners access the internet or email on their handheld, including two-thirds (68%) who do so on a typical day. When asked what device they normally use to access the internet, 25% of smartphone owners say that they mostly go online using their phone, rather than with a computer. While many of these individuals have other sources of online access at home, roughly one third of these "cell mostly" internet users lack a high-speed home broadband connection.
Smartphone owners under the age of 30, non-white smartphone users, and smartphone owners with relatively low income and education levels are particularly likely to say that they mostly go online using their phones.
Android is the most common smartphone platform, followed by iPhone and Blackberry devices
Phones operating on the Android platform are currently the most prevalent type of smartphone, followed by iPhones and Blackberry devices.
Demographically, Android phones are especially common among young adults and African-Americans, while iPhones and Blackberry devices are most prevalent among college graduates and the financially well-off.
About this survey
The results reported here are based on a national telephone survey of 2,277 adults conducted April 26-May 22, 2011. 1,522 interviews were conducted by landline phone, and 755 interviews were conducted by cell phone. Interviews were conducted in both English and Spanish. For results based on all adults, the margin of error is +/-2 percentage points; for results based on all cell owners, the margin of error is +/-3 percentage points (n=1,194); and for results based on smartphone owners, the margin of error is +/-4.5 percentage points (n=688).

Published Quarterly
Editor: Miriam Raub Vivian
Spring Quarter 2007 |
California State University, Bakersfield
Volume 15, No. 3
The CSUB History Department bids a fond farewell to Professor Jim Meriwether as he leaves our program for good in June, first for a one-year Fulbright appointment in Nairobi, Kenya, and then upon his return to take up a position as a full professor at our newest sister campus, California State University, Channel Islands, in Camarillo. Prof. Meriwether has been serving our students well since his arrival in September 1997, and we are grateful for his dedication and service these past ten years.
Born on a military base in Fort Knox, Kentucky, while his father fulfilled his military duty as a doctor (the base medical bill was just $7), Prof. Meriwether returned shortly with his family to Southern California as a third-generation Californian. His claim to fame from his youth was playing baseball (on the "Bullets") as an eight-year-old with Mark McGwire in Claremont. Not surprisingly, the future major-leaguer (not Prof. Meriwether) was already a standout.
Already interested in history as he headed to college, Dr. Meriwether chose to attend Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. (For Blue Devil insiders, he arrived the year after Coach K.—I can't spell it!) He had the good fortune to study there with John Hope Franklin, with whom he worked on the equivalent of a senior seminar project. His focus was a topic in African American history.
Dr. Meriwether has had an interest in things African going back at least to the 8th grade, when he wrote an English paper on the Soweto Massacre of 1976. After finishing his history degree at Duke, he served in the Peace Corps in Botswana for two-and-a-half years, teaching agriculture (not math, which he was supposed to teach). His years in Botswana were a defining experience for Prof. Meriwether, cementing his interest in and affection for Africa. The accompanying photo was taken there with one of his students.
His interest in both African and American history converged in his graduate studies at UCLA, where he worked under the direction of historian Robert Dallek. His dissertation dealt with the influence of African liberation movements on the civil rights movement in this country, which we in Bakersfield know as his first book, Proudly We Can Be Africans: Black Americans and Africa, 1935-1961, published by the University of North Carolina Press in 2002. His current research interests focus on U.S. policy with Africa during the decolonization of that continent.
When not engaged in history, Prof. Meriwether enjoys spending time with his family, working in the yard, and playing an occasional game of tennis. He also likes to, believe it or not, read, and highly recommends that anyone who has the opportunity read Nelson Mandela's monumental and inspiring autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom.
His students and colleagues across the university will sorely miss him, but are pleased to wish him many more happy and productive years of teaching and research.

While roaming the grounds at Oshkosh, I had a chance encounter with Kermit Weeks, owner of the world's largest privately, owned collection of vintage aircraft, famous pilot and now author too. His first book, All of Life is a School, featured plane characters like Gee Bee Zee, which is modeled after a Gee Bee. In his next book, the Spirit Of Lindy, Kermit Weeks adds two new characters, a DeHavilland 4 Mail Plane, and the Spirit of Saint Louis. Weeks says that he would have added more, but he said that he has a habit of getting all of the planes featured in his books, and he didn't want to go broke. One of the planes in his first book, Curtiss, is being built right now. The Spirit Of Saint Lindy was supposed to come out in time for Oshkosh, but will now be done printed in time for the Reno Air Races.
Another question that came up was what drove him to donate the Kermit Weeks hangar to the EAA. He said that it was just to support the EAA. It was the first building that wasn't a bathroom or a shack. His favorite plane in the hangar is whatever he can be flying at the time.
Outside of aviation, Kermit Weeks enjoys water and snow skiing, playing various instruments like the banjo, guitar, piano, and fiddle, and discovering inner flight. He says that he has spent a lot of time exploring within himself and having outer body experiences. He also told me that he believes in ghosts because he believes that he has been one. The Fantasy of Flight is all about people discovering their passions and staying true to themselves. "Everyone connects in different ways and we are all different, but we all have the same faults and the same perfection." Says Weeks.
The thing that got Weeks involved in aviation was listening to the 1960's song Snoopy and the Red Baron. He was 13 and took it as a predestined cue to go into aviation. He started building models and he finished a airplane kit before he got out of high school. At age 15, Kermit Weeks was on the EAA board of directors. He says that Oshkosh is a great place with great people and he can't wait for next year.

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
As Christians we believe by faith that Christ was both human and divine, and although this paradox can be difficult to comprehend, it is not a stumbling block to our faith nor does it hinder us from having a relationship with him. Similarly, the Bible is both human and divine.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The conflict does not come from God or nature—we have created the conflict ourselves. Intentionally or not, we often extend science past its natural bounds and use the Bible for questions it does not intend to answer.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
(Needs a summary)
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. "Off with his head!" she said, without even looking round
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Since the sermon is the main component used to build the congregation's collective approach to understanding how the church relates to the world, I want to take a few moments to lay out what has worked in my preaching and what has not when it comes to science, and more specifically, the subject of evolution.
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.

December 6, 20139:04 AM ET
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Flags were lowered to half-staff across South Africa and people in black townships, in upscale mostly white suburbs and in the country's vast rural grasslands commemorated Nelson Mandela with song, tears and prayers on Friday while pledging to adhere to the values of unity and democracy that he embodied.
December 6, 201310:24 AM ET
For most of the world, his name is synonymous with courage and perseverance. Leaders and citizens, athletes and artists remembered Nelson Mandela on Friday — though many struggled to find words big enough to describe the man who changed the face of South Africa and inspired a continent and a world: a colossus, a father figure, a giant baobab tree providing shade for an entire nation.
December 6, 20135:48 AM ET
As news of Nelson Mandela's death spread, current and former heads of state and government, athletes and entertainers, and people around the world spoke out about the life and legacy of the former South African president. Some knew him personally while many only knew him from afar, but they shared how they drew inspiration from his strength and looked to live his message of continuing the struggle against social injustice.
December 6, 20139:33 AM ET
WASHINGTON (AP) — A fourth straight month of solid hiring cut the U.S. unemployment rate in November to a five-year low of 7 percent. The surprisingly robust job gain suggested that the economy may have begun to accelerate.
December 6, 20136:38 AM ET
WASHINGTON (AP) — It looks like President Barack Obama's fickle health insurance website is finally starting to put up some respectable sign-up numbers, but its job only seems to have gotten harder.
December 6, 201310:37 AM ET
SEATTLE (AP) — A person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press that Chris Petersen has agreed to leave Boise State and be the football coach at Washington.
December 6, 20139:35 AM ET
COSTA DO SAUIPE, Brazil (AP) — The eyes of soccer focused nervously Friday on the draw to determine where, when and, most important, who the 32 teams will play at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
December 6, 20136:37 AM ET
For about an hour, much of the planet will come to a dead stop, all eyes and attention glued to four bowls of what look an awful lot like pingpong balls. A lottery that could make someone rich beyond his or her wildest dreams? No, though some would argue this can bring even more happiness.
December 5, 20136:44 PM ET
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — He emerged into bright winter sunshine, stepped onto the lush field and pulled on a cap. His long-sleeve green rugby jersey was untucked and buttoned right up to the top, a style all his own. On the back, a gold No. 6, big and bold.
December 5, 20138:08 PM ET
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Tiger Woods said the death of Nelson Mandela was "a sad day for many people," especially those who had the chance to meet him.

Sea Tea Improv Shows & Events Google Calendar
Public Performances:
We have two monthly shows in Hartford: our free "Whose Line is it Anyway?"-style shortform show at City Steam's Brew-Ha-Ha Comedy Club, and our Longform Comedy Showcase at The Studio at Billings Forge. We also perform at other public events around CT and in festivals all over the east coast. See our list of upcoming events on Facebook.
Private Performances:
Our team of professional improvisers can customize a show of just about any length & theme to entertain your guests through made-up on-the-spot stories, characters, & games entirely based on audience suggestions. We've performed for fundraisers, birthday parties, graduation parties, opening ceremonies, holidays, and more. Contact us for options, rates, and references.
Corporate Entertainment:
Whether you're entertaining employees or customers, our team of professional improvisers will customize a show of just about any length and theme to entertain your audience using their own suggestions. We've performed for insurance companies, law firms, financial companies, non-profits, and more. Contact us for options, rates, and references.
What to Expect:
Shortform improvisation usually takes the form of playfully competitive games and scenes based on a large amount of audience suggestions and participation. Popularized by Drew Carey's "Whose Line Is It Anyway," shortform is where you might see us perform a Beastie Boys rap about your crappy Thursday, or do a 2-minute film noir scene about the struggles of an elevator operator. Sea Tea loves shortform because it is a raucous, physical embodiment of both popular culture and traditional stagework. Plus, the audience gets to abuse us quite a lot, which they seem to love.
Longform improvisation is a series of related scenes and games based off a single audience suggestion. In long-form, players use the single word to get down to the bottom of all of its associations and implications, and build off of those and each other. The product is sometimes a completely improvised three-act play, a complete story, or a series of increasingly brilliant scenes. Sea Tea loves longform because of the time available to develop complex plotlines, relationships, and patterns. Many of the greatest comedians of our time began by doing longform: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Fred Willard, Steve Carrell, Stephen Colbert, Mike Meyers, Chris Farley, Vince Vaughn, and so many more. Long-form has more of a tendency to be strange and uncomfortable, but come along for the ride and we promise you'll never see anything like it again!
Improv Groups, Bands, and other acts we've performed with:
Horse Lincoln, UCB TourCo, Autumn & Summar Spring into Winter, String Theorie, The Sticks Improv, Tick Tick BOOM, Home Brew, The Awkward Handshakes, Franklin's Peaches, BenTopher, Colin McEnroe, Fake Fake Monkey, The Men in Black Barbershop Quartet, The Moveable Joints, Moebius, The Purple Crayon of Yale, Free Lunch, Standish Arms

Discover the delights of the season in Germany and Austria. "Welcome, young and old, to my little community of wood and cloth." These are the words that open the Nuremberg Christmas Market, spoken by the Christkind. Though the iconic representative of the market is named for the infant Jesus, e—yes, she— is a pretty girl dressed as a crowned angel. All over Germany, the Christkind is a symbol of the holiday's magic.
This cruise takes you to some of the most famous and delightful of the holiday markets in Central Europe. At each market, you'll find wooden stalls displaying traditional crafts that range from quirky little characters made of fruit and dressed in Bavarian costume to beautifully carved and painted Nativity figures. You'll also find exquisite ornaments and fine contemporary crafts, along with fairy-tale villages decked in holiday finery. Sparkling lights illuminate ancient cathedral squares, and the sound of children's laughter mingles with carols. Sample Linzer torte in the city where it was invented; see Vienna at its most magical.
Celebrate the season in a new way as you rove through old lands, and remember, as the Christkind says, "While this market's splendor is fleeting, the joy it brings is eternal."
Who will enjoy this cruise: Those looking to experience Europe at its most magical will enjoy the chance to discover the delightful holiday traditions and treats of Germany and Austria, and to find those special gifts for loved ones back home.

So, Christine won in Delaware. That is really good news to me, as Mr. Castle was, based on his voting record, not just a RINO, but an absolute Liberal.

Grab a Button!
Product 447/1277
"Yeah, Mama, I'll be there." Cigarette caught in his lips, Robbie cradled the phone between his ear and his shoulder as he shielded the lighter from the breeze coming in through the window. He tossed the disposable Bic on the coffee table and took a slow drag as quietly as possible.
"Robert Sexton! Are you smoking?"
Fuck. Obviously not quietly enough.
Letting out the smoke on a natural exhale, Robbie did the only thing he could at that moment: he lied. "No, of course not, Mama."
"Well, that's good. Burying your daddy in a few days because of those wretched things. Can't have my boys smoking now too."
Robbie groaned quietly. "Yes, Mama. I take it Russ is going to be there."
"Now, Robert. Don't come down here expecting to make a big fuss with your brother. He's doin' good now."
What? Not mooching off of his parents, you mean? That's what Robbie wanted to ask, but he bit his tongue. No need to get Mama all upset. She had enough going on. Robbie stubbed out his cigarette and got up from the couch. If he was going back home, he'd need to get drunk before doing it. Down there, among birth family, no one knew him. Not the real him, anyway.
"I promise," he said. "I won't start anything. But I still don't think it's right for him to lean on you every time he gets into a bind. I'll be there in a couple of days."
"Love you, son."
"Love you, too, Mama." Robbie waited until the line went dead before hanging up. He was so not looking forward to this trip. Trip? Hell, it was more than that and he knew it.
His lease was up and there was nothing open in the city for him, work-wise. From big city to backwoods Athens, Alabama. Damn, he was insane. He had to be to agree to move back down South. And to a farm, no less! He knew nothing about raising animals, baling hay, or riding a horse. Even as a kid, he spent most of his time inside, drawing and sketching. Closet or no, he knew quite a few people in his family had the sneaking suspicion that he wasn't straight. Only one of them, his cousin Danny, knew it was true; and Danny wasn't far from that sort of family himself, considering he enjoyed both sexes.

The family of missing GlobalPost journalist James Foley is holding an event to raise awareness on World Press Freedom Day on May 3rd in Boston. Foley, who is from New Hampshire, was taken by unidentified gunmen in northwest Syria on Nov. 22, 2012, and has not been heard from since. More than 10,000 people from more than 50 countries have signed an appeal for Foley's release. Silenced Voices: When Conflict Journalist Go Missing, which is being held from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at GlobalPost headquarters, will include a presentation of Foley's work as well as a panel discussion including members of his family and Thomson Reuters columnist David Rohde, who, when he was a reporter for The New York Times, was taken by members of the Taliban in 2008 and held for seven months before escaping. Rohde will be joined by "Between Two Worlds: My Life and Captivity in Iran" author Roxana Saberi, Pakistani journalist Beena Sarwar, Professor Jack Doppelt of Medill-Northwestern University, and GlobalPost President, CEO and Co-Founder Philip S. Balboni, to discuss the vital importance and dangers of reporting from conflict zones around the world.

My dad purchased this place over a year ago. His goal was to find a "fixer upper". He did achieve this goal. This is a two story lake view townhome. He is a single, full time, hard working gentleman. He has two children. His name is Mike. I am his daughter, Katie. I helped him pull up the carpet, which is about 40 years old. My brother, Adam, helped dad scrape the popcorn off the ceiling. Our father has a big heart, and always helps his children achieve their dreams. Now it is our turn to help dad achieve his dream.
My father works full time and does not have much time to dedicate to his remodel dreams. He has always been talented and used to be a carpenter when he was going to college. He takes extra time to teach Adam (my brother) and I how to do work around the house by ourselves. He has so many plans to dress up his "fixer upper". Mike would benefit from this contest because as a single father, he is alone most of the time. Our hope with the re-model of the bathroom is for dad to remember his children love him very much; and is never really alone in his heart.
He uses this shower to go to work every morning. He wakes up every morning to a bathroom with no carpet. In Colorado, winters can be brutal and cold feet in the bathroom don't feel good. He uses a toilet with a broken toilet seat. Now, the leak from the ceiling, poses more plumbing work before the bathroom can become what he dreams.
My brother and I help dad with the landscape outside, scraping the popcorn off the ceiling, pulling up carpet, re-texturing the walls, and taking old curtain rods down. My father has been a great role model for us. He has always been there for his children. I would hope that I can show my love for a hardworking, big hearted father by giving him the BATHROOM OF HIS DREAMS in his "fixer upper". Love you Forever DAD.

Nearly finished with the viola parts for the upcoming show with Liuh-Wen Ting. Writing for harpsichord has been extremely challenging, but I'm quite enjoying it. For research I have been listening to a Buxtehude recording that I have which has two harpsichords. I really love harpsichord music. At best it has such a magical sound, a bit like a calliope. Anyway, hopefully I'll be doing a performance in NY by the end of the month, if early next month. Keep checking the site for dates!
OH! Was served a nice surprise from google alerts today! I'm not sure if you all know the work of Franco Dragone. He's an exceptionally imaginative theatre director from Belgium who directed many of Cirque du Soleil best productions and other really visionary shows. A talented photographer from his team, Mehdy Nasser, contacted me a few months ago and we met not too long ago and spoke about possibly doing some work together, which of course would be a fantastic experience for me. Anyway, again, got this from a google alert, which made me pretty derned happy! (Medhy took the shot of me in NYC.)
BTW, you should take a look at his site from the home page, if you have a fast internet connection. It's a really well done site!
Hi there, folks. Just wanted to bring this to your attention if you're interested. It's an interview I did with Le Doigt dans L'Oeil. You have to know French though!
Just watched "Charles Laughton Directs The Night of the Hunter", the "Making of" on the second disc in the fantastic Bluray edition of "The Night of the Hunter".
First, of course I checked out the quality of the feature! Looks fabulous. I'm going to wait to watch the actual film with somebody else who maybe hasn't seen it yet. Somebody who I feel will love it as much as me…
Back to the "Making of"... It really is so much more than that! Basically they piece back together the film from apparently 8 hours of out-takes. It's absolutely fascinating. First of all, I'm left in awe of Laughton, Winters and Gish. I mean, of course Mitchum is fantastic, but Laughton, Winters and Gish are like magicians. It's such a mysterious process to watch them sculpt out these honest, hyper-expressive performances.
They show a little bit about each of the main characters, and they are very generous about who is covered. It's really everyone with more than a sentence of dialogue… Which really tells a lot about the brilliance of the script. All of the characters are so essential and full of color.
Shelley Winters was apparently the wild-card actress on the set. Her acting style is quite different from all of the others. And it's absolutely amazing to watch her sink deeper and deeper into her performance.
I have to admit, I had tears streaming down my face through long portions of this movie. Yes, I'm one of those. Haha, thought about Double Rainbow at one point. Jesus, am I that kind of buffoon. Yes.
But this dvd is even better than I could have imagined! Best Christmas gift ever!
Happy Holidays!!!Hello there, folks
Just wanted to write an end of the year blog, although there certainly might be more.
2010 was really a great one for me in so many ways. For one thing, I performed very special shows in 4 foreign countries, France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. On each of these shows I met some really wonderful people. There's something so great about festivals abroad. Something that brings out the optimist in everyone. Something that makes a utopia out of every place.
Anyway, I just have to give heartfelt thanks to Sylvain Rebut-Minotti, the folks at Infiné, Patricia Gondres, Elisa Bogliotti, Elisa Casetta, Elena Zapata, and the members of I Am Your Autopilot. Truly, you all have meant so much to me and I will always be grateful for the inspiration and love you gave me.
As well I need to thank my incredibly inspiring singing teacher, Dr. William Riley. He's one of the wisest individuals I have ever met, and for all the discoveries he's helped me to find, I owe him massive thanks as well.
I feel it's important to thank all my friends, new and old. Old and new collaborators. Liuh-Wen Ting, the violist who has been such an inspiration to me as well.
Oh, man, Chris Evans, great dj from Wolverhampton! Thank you so much for being a beacon of light for music artists!
Let's face it… the music industry is in a bit of a strange place. You can look at it in one of two ways: as an ominous labyrinth, or a great adventure. It is thanks to all of these people that I have enjoyed the shifts and tremors and found inspiration.
Finally, I owe so much love to my small family, to Hector, Diana, Marisa, Max and Caliban.
OK, corny rant over! HAPPY HOLIDAYS ALL! And here's to 2011 being fruitful and wonderful!
Song In the Cavern (the Drummer) by fredoviola
...and I'm FREEZING MY BUTT OFF! I arrived this morning, had a really nice chat with my old pal Graeme, in whose house I'm staying. He then left me alone to go to work and I find it so cold! I'm wearing a tshirt, heavy shirt, two sweaters, a scarf and a sheep skin jacket and I'm still freezing! I have no doubt whatsoever that it's just me. But jeeeeeezzzzz…..
Anyway, wow, I have been feeling so inspired lately! Working on so much new material! In fact, in a few days or so I should be releasing a new recording as a kind of holiday treat. This week will be spent rehearsing for Saturday night's show at the Deaf Institute in Manchester. Pictures and hopefully some stories will follow.
