Latest release of agile project management solution adds bug management, individual work tracking, new project visibility tools
WALTHAM, MA, MAY 4, 2011 – Telerik, an end-to-end provider of tools for software development and content management solutions, today revealed details of its latest TeamPulse major release. The agile project management solution, which was recently honored by the Great Indian Developer Summit with a GIDS 2011 Award in the "Change and Configuration Management" category, is adding a host of new features, including:
As of this release, TeamPulse introduces its new Bug Tracking module, supporting the complete workflow of bug capturing, triaging (evaluating and prioritizing), and assignment. The robust bug tracking functionality allows team members to address bugs efficiently and spend less time managing reported issues.
Another important addition to TeamPulse is the "My Perspective" feature, providing users with an immediate, personal perspective on assigned stories, tasks, and bugs. My Perspective aggregates everything that a single user is working on in a single location, thus allowing team members to stay focused and be more productive. Powered by TeamPulse's Best Practice Analyzer, My Perspective offers notifications when users are not adhering to Agile best practices.
TeamPulse is also introducing a new interactive TaskBoard, a virtual replacement for traditional whiteboards and sticky notes. Tasks are represented as index cards, organized in different columns based on status. The TaskBoard is ideal for daily Scrum meetings, allowing teams to quickly review, move, and edit cards in real time.
The new release also debuts TeamPulse integration with Telerik's automated testing solution, Telerik Test Studio. Now users can easily define feature acceptance tests in TeamPulse and then generate functional tests in Telerik Test Studio with just a few mouse-clicks.
"We wanted this version of TeamPulse to be about increasing individual and team productivity," said Joel Semeniuk, executive vice president, Agile Project Management Division, Telerik. "With the addition of Bug Tracking, the focusing "My Perspective" view, and other new features, we believe that teams using the new version of TeamPulse will immediately experience improved team performance."
Other new features and enhancements included in this milestone release are:

Recipe by Ita
"Potato bread farls are pan fried to make one of the essential components of an Ulster fry. They taste great on their own with a little salt, or with a fried egg on top."
Watch video tips and tricks
4 prepared potato bread farls
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 pinch salt
A staple in our family for generations. I make them for my own children all the time. The only change I would make is to fry them in sunflower oil. Olive oil does add anything to the taste. They must be served with bacon, sausage, fried egg, mushroom, tomato and fried soda farls. An Ulster fry is a heart attack on a plate, but eaten once in a while, is a wonderful treat and a taste of home.
these are delicious and can also be put into a toaster and heated then slathered in butter and really enjoyed, comfort food aah

I made this & Soda Farls for Ferg's Ulster Fry Up (on this recipes site). I preferred the Potato Farl. Try this simple recipe, especially as part of the Fry Up!
This recipe reminds me of a recipe for a cake which involves getting a cake mix and following directions on the back of the box. Perhaps a recipe for Fried Chicken: Go to KFC and get a bucket; bring home; eat!

Ad tu, Brute?
So earlier on this week the infamous smashing 'magazine' posted an article about ad blockers. It implores the reader to switch off ad blockers while browsing the site. It states that we are robbing the community of much needed cash. And goes on to describe various analogies to back up the claim.
Smashing magazine has come out and said this was the opinion of one of their writers and perhaps doesn't echo the voice of the site. Which is cool. I guess. Does the Sunday Times do that? What about the Sun or the Daily Mail? I don't think they do.

Singleton Residence, Estate of the Day
A few weeks ago I mentioned the coverage the Real Estalker and Radar paid to this home, a Richard Neutra-designed estate in Bel Air currently owned by hair icon Vidal Sassoon. Sassoon bought the house in 2004 and gave the home a renovation that a house with this type of architectural provenance deserves.
This type of home with its spare and blocky lines may not be to all tastes. You've got to love the Modernist style to embrace Neutra. This home is one of just two Neutra homes in Bel Air (my neighborhood, Silver Lake is home to many more). This home was built in 1959 and has over five acres in Bel Air. Additions include a new master bedroom wing, an expanded kitchen and a gallery that blends the approach to the earlier Neutra addition into the overall floorplan. The home has four bedrooms, a screening room and there are two extra building pads on the site. Radar put the house at $19. million but the Sotheby's listing has it at $25 million. Amazing considering that Sassoon is said to have purchased for $6 million. After the jump, perfect minimalism and a bed with a tail.

They go by different names: goosebumps, goose pimples, goose flesh, and my personal favorite, goose bumples. They resemble goose skin after the feathers are plucked. The medical terms for goosebumps include cutis anserine (cutis means skin and anser means goose) horripilation, piloerection, or the pilomotor reflex. These terms describe a temporary change in the skin from smooth to bumpy that most commonly occurs after exposure to cold. But many people associate goosebumps with fear. Or, perhaps more accurately, with horror. Maybe that's why R.L. Stine named his popular series of children's horror stories, published in the 1990s, Goosebumps. Ever wonder why you get goosebumps? Do they serve a purpose? Why do they develop when we're frightened? Goosebumps occur when tiny muscles flex in the skin and cause hair follicles to rise up a bit and hairs to stand up. Goosebumps are an automatic response. Nerves from the sympathetic nervous system — the ones that control the "fight-or-flight" response — also control these skin muscles. In the animal kingdom, a threatened animal has a similar reaction. Its fur will puff out a bit. This makes the animal appear bigger and more dangerous. Perhaps the most dramatic example is the porcupine. Its quills puff out when they sense danger. This can make a menacing enemy think twice before attacking. Goosebumps may help to conserve heat when you're exposed to cold. They may do this in several ways:
Each of these might be more important for furry animals than for humans. In fact, it's not clear how important goosebumps are in humans. For example, if you couldn't form goosebumps at all, it's not clear that you'd have problems with temperature control.
Goosebumps may be one of those "leftovers" from our evolutionary ancestors (like the coccyx, or tailbone) that serves no important purpose. Most people associate goosebumps with unpleasantness such as feeling particularly cold or feeling afraid. Yet, there is more to it than that. Because the arrectores pilorum are hooked up to the sympathetic nervous system, which has input from many parts of the brain — including those involved with motivation, arousal and emotion — other stimuli may cause goosebumps, including:
Though rare, goosebumps can be a sign of a seizure disorder (called temporal lobe epilepsy), a disorder of the sympathetic nervous system, or a brain tumor. They are also common during heroin or other opiate withdrawal. In fact, the term "quitting cold turkey" refers to the presence of goose bumps (that mimic cold turkey flesh) during withdrawal from heroin. (The term could also have come from the expression, "talk turkey," meaning to speak bluntly or directly, without preparation.) Goosebumps are universal, but poorly understood. As a remnant of evolution, perhaps they'll fade away over the coming centuries. Or, they may serve a more important role than is currently appreciated. You'll see them most often when you're cold. But don't be surprised (or afraid or awed) if they may appear at other times. Robert H. Shmerling, M.D. is associate physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and associate professor at Harvard Medical School. He has been a practicing rheumatologist for over 20 years at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He is an active teacher in the Internal Medicine Residency Program, serving as the Robinson Firm Chief. He is also a teacher in the Rheumatology Fellowship Program.

Review of the 2014 BMW 4 Series
BMW spins off the 3 Series Coupe into the new 2014 BMW 4 Series, a sleeker, updated version of its former self. It's a top pick for a luxury sport coupe.
- Safety | Reliability
Engaging handling; powerful and fuel-efficient engines; upscale interior with straightforward controls and spacious seating.
Limited interior storage space; automatic stop-start system can be intrusive.

Full 2014 BMW 4 Series Review
What's New for 2014
The 2014 BMW 4 Series is an all-new model.
What's in a name? At first glance, it might seem like the new 2014 BMW 4 Series is little more than a clever BMW marketing ploy to dig deeper into your wallet. Here you've got plus-one on the BMW Richter scale. Yet compared to the related 3 Series, you're paying more (almost four grand when new) for plenty of identical hardware, two fewer doors and less practicality than the sedan. Hey, what gives? But take a closer look and you'll see that the 4 Series justifies its premium and fortifies BMW's position as a creator of exceptionally desirable luxury coupes.
The 2014 BMW 4 Series is a replacement for the previous 3 Series coupe, and it shares its underpinnings with the latest-generation platform that started with the sedan in 2012. But more so than in the past, the new 4 Series is distinguished by a sleeker presence than the sedan. Its low-slung, low-cabin profile is impressively sporty and highlighted by flared fenders and a character line rising from the front fender to the rear taillights. The specs back up this visual impression: The 4 Series is about 2 inches lower to the ground than the sedan, and its wheels are pushed farther outward for improved handling stability and grip. Special styling details, such as vents just aft of the front wheels (BMW claims they improve aero efficiency) further differentiate the 4 Series.
Underneath the 4 Series sheet metal you'll find two of the same efficient yet powerful engines that BMW offers in the 3 Series sedan. Base BMW 428i models get the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. Rated power doesn't really change (241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque), but BMW's engineers have dramatically enhanced its aural characteristics; instead of workaday thrumming, you get a revvy, inspiring soundtrack not unlike a classic BMW straight-6. Should you want the real thing, of course, there's the top-spec 435i model and its 300-hp, turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder.
If you are looking for an entry-level luxury coupe, you're likely aware of your other choices. The 2014 Infiniti Q60 coupe (nee G37) still offers plenty of strong performance and value, while the 2014 Audi A5 is still quite the looker and the 2014 Mercedes C-Class coupe is polished and refined in the way you expect a Mercedes to be. But the 4 Series, with its excellent handling and performance, eye-catching styling and best-in-class interior room, strikes us as the most complete and desirable luxury sport coupe available this year.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2014 BMW 4 Series is currently sold as a coupe only. A convertible is likely to join later this year or next year. There are two trim levels: 428i and 435i.
Standard equipment for the 428i includes 17-inch wheels, xenon headlights, foglights, auto-dimming mirrors, a sunroof, leatherette (premium vinyl) upholstery, eight-way power front seats, driver memory settings, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, fold-down rear seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 6.5-inch display screen, BMW's iDrive electronics interface, Bluetooth phone connectivity, BMW Assist and a sound system with a CD player, a USB/iPod interface, an auxiliary audio jack and HD radio.
The 435i is equipped similarly but comes with a more powerful engine and 18-inch wheels.
Naturally, a wealth of option packages is available to help you customize your 4 Series. Starting things off are three optional equipment lines -- Luxury, Sport and M Sport -- which include different wheel designs (up to 19 inches), color schemes and trim and upholstery types. The Sport and M Sport also include summer performance tires and sport front seats, while the M Sport further adds a sport-tuned suspension, adaptive suspension dampers and a sport steering wheel.
The Premium package equips the 4 Series with keyless ignition/entry, four-way power lumbar for the front seats, satellite radio and leather upholstery. The Technology package adds a higher-resolution 8.8-inch display screen, a touchpad iDrive controller, a navigation system, a head-up display, Bluetooth audio connectivity, BMW Apps (a suite of connectivity apps for iPhones and select Android devices, including Pandora, Stitcher and Facebook) and BMW Remote Services (which allows Apple and Android users to lock the car remotely and turn on the climate control, among various other tasks).
The Lighting package tacks on LED headlights and automatic high beam control. A Cold Weather package adds heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. The Driver Assistance package adds a rearview camera and front and rear parking sensors. Opting for the Driver Assistance Plus package gets you those features plus blind-spot monitoring, a side- and top-view camera system and speed limit info. Finally, the Dynamic Handling package enhances the car's performance with adaptive suspension dampers and variable-ratio sport steering.
Upgraded brakes are a stand-alone option, as are a power rear sunshade, adaptive cruise control, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound audio system and automated parallel parking assist.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2014 BMW 4 Series coupes offer a choice between rear-wheel drive and the xDrive all-wheel-drive system. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard. A manual transmission is a no-cost option for all versions, except the 428i xDrive. Both transmissions come with an automatic stop-start function that turns off the engine when the car stops in order to save fuel.
The 328i model uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder rated at 241 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. EPA estimates for the automatic-equipped 428i are 27 mpg combined (23 mpg city/35 mpg highway). Opting for the manual or AWD drops these number slightly, but either way, you're looking at outstanding numbers for this class.
The 435i has a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine rated at 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. With the automatic, the EPA estimates 25 mpg combined (22 city/32 highway). The manual version is rated 23 mpg combined. The 435i xDrive checks in at 24 mpg combined with the auto and 23 with the manual.
Every 2014 BMW 4 Series comes standard with antilock brakes, traction and stability control, front side airbags, side curtain airbags and front knee airbags.
The stability control system integrates several features designed to improve braking performance, such as periodically wiping the brake rotors dry when the windshield wipers are in use and automatically snugging the pads to the rotors when the driver abruptly lifts off the throttle. BMW Assist emergency communications is standard and includes automatic crash notification, stolen vehicle recovery and on-demand roadside assistance. A visit to the options list will provide parking sensors (front and rear), a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, a lane departure warning system and an automated parking system.
Interior Design and Special Features
The 4 Series might be new, but the cabin is all 3 Series, with a classy design and premium materials. The company's classic analog gauges provide a historical link with BMWs of previous decades, while the Luxury, Sport and M Sport give you plenty of leeway to customize the cabin to your taste.
In terms of technology, the basic 6.5-inch display screen is adequate, but you'll want to get the larger, optional screen for a true, luxury electronics interface. This year's iDrive system has been updated slightly, with the most noticeable change being a touchpad on top of the controller that can be used to hand write inputs using your finger. Overall, iDrive is pretty easy to use, thanks to straightforward menus, crisp graphics and quick processing times. But compared to some rival systems, it typically requires a few more twirls and clicks to get what you want.
Behind the wheel, a lower seating position than the sedan helps add to the sporting persona of the BMW 4 Series coupe. The front seats are very supportive and comfortable and good for both long road trips and spirited driving. Compared to the previous-generation 3 Series coupe, there is also more room all around, particularly in the rear where there's an impressive amount of legroom and enough headroom for average-sized adults. Interior storage is pretty mediocre, however, with few places to store your personal effects.
Driving Impressions
The new 2014 BMW 4 Series coupe's sleek exterior look promises a lot in the way of excitement, and it largely delivers on BMW's "Ultimate Driving Machine" tag line. There's nothing wrong with picking the 428i; its four-cylinder delivers quick acceleration and an engaging engine and exhaust note that will have you winding up through the gears, fuel economy be damned. The same can be said for the 2014 BMW 435i, but to an even greater extent. The traditionalist's choice in terms of transmissions will always be the manual, but the eight-speed auto works exceptionally well in both the normal driving mode or under the driver's control via the paddle shifters. One annoyance can be the gruff restart nature of the automatic engine start-stop function, though it can be disabled.
When the road bends, BMW has tuned the 4 Series to handle with more athleticism than the sedan. The car rides a little lower, the front and rear tracks are a bit wider, the suspension is firmer and the steering has more heft and precision to it. These are incremental changes to be sure, but they work. Driven through a turn with the Sport mode selected, the 4 Series is marvelously balanced for a luxury sport coupe and easily instills driver confidence. Some might find the ride quality overly firm, but opting for the adaptive suspension dampers helps in this regard while also further boosting the car's stability.

"Fund til prisen"Anmeldt af en Hotels.com-gæst d. 17. feb 2013
Dejligt stort værelse, tæt på lufthavnen (lidt støj fra flyene) og et kvarter i bil fra stranden i Santa Monica. Motellet ligger i aflukket gård med gratis parkering bagi. Receptionen var yderst imødekommende med at hjælpe med at finde god restaurant tæt på - og sørgede også for at bestille bord. Spurgte sogar næste dag, hvordan vi havde syntes om maden. Værelset er dejlig stort med bord og to stole. Stedet er pænt og rent. Badeværelset sat i stand for nyeligt. God kaffe og lækker kold juice til morgenmaden samt varieret frugt. Spiste ikke andet, men kørte til Ihop som lå 5 min derfra. Kan kun anbefales.

Hotellet ligger desværre langt fra byen. 20 min. til L.A. downtown. 60 min. til Santa Monica i bil. Meget trafik. Men ellers et hyggeligt hotel med meget venlig og hjælpsom personale.Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse
"One night"
The room was really nice and a good effort at trying to look modern. It was clean and they even packaged toiletries for your use. Unfortunately we only enjoyed the room for one night. We arrived late at night and left early the next day. The bed was comfortable enough, the blankets really warm. Probably we would have enjoyed the hotel a lot more had […] we stayed longer.

"Maids need to do their job"
Toilet had sanitized seal without even being clean. Leftover can drinks in the fridge... weird white interior lighting... very uncomfortable stay. won't come back.Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse
The rooms were nice enough but because of the design of the hotel all the noice from the parking lot bounces around the exterior walls of the hotel and ends up coming in through the cheap windows of your room. I was on the second floor and it sounded like I was in a tent in the parking lot. Rooms were clean and in good condition but if you are looking […] to sleep in or are traveling for business and need a good nights rest I wouldn't recommend staying here. Location was fine, close freeway access. Area was a little sketchy and not a lot to do or places to eat directly around the hotel. Overall I'd say it was worth the price I paid though.

"Comfortable beds, clean and quiet room"
My son and I stayed 2 nights here and the room exceed our expectation as there is one small refrigerator in the room that we used it to store cold water and we like it greatly. Further, we like the Continental breakfast too. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We will come back again for sure.Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse
"Perfect place!"
This place is perfect for people on the go.... Or those just doing business trips or those visiting. It's clean, big rooms, up to date, the staff is amazing, and actually Pretty quiet, very close to the freeway and other stores. Would stay here again and recommend!Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse
"Basic...very basic"
My liesure travel budget has shrunk and so this trip involved the use of cheaper rooms...so I tend to be biased towards typical business traveler hotels and tend to shy away from independent lodging. Floral had the benefit of location. The check-in agent was friendly and courteous. The building (an older establishment) appeared to be well maintained. The […] room was small. I have an over active sense of smell---not a good place to go in that case. The room had an unusual odor, however, the place appeared very clean (I typically check the bathroom for this...it was very clean). The bed was comfortable. Overall, the place met my need of a place to sleep for a few hours. Læs mereÆgte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse

For a short getaway with friends, it's a nice place for the price like what other reviewers have said. Nothing fancy, just everything you need for a short stay. But what other reviewers haven't mentioned is the surrounding neighborhood. The hotel is a few blocks away from what is considered "gang territory" according to a store owner we had talked to. […] Not the greatest thing to hear on my first day to LA, but at least we knew what we were getting into. Nothing bad happened, but I guess its safer to know than going out like an easy target or something. Læs mereÆgte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse

Second time I stayed in this hotel. The room is smaller this time but it is not facing the road. Get some leaking in the bathroom from the top but they take care of the problem. I will consider staying with them again since the price is reasonable around the area.Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse
"1 Night Stay"
Spent one night at this hotel between days of a music festival at the LA State Historic Park and was satisfied for the price. The room was clean, included a good sized fridge and TV. Only complaint would have to be the lack of shampoo in the shower, there were also holes in the bed spread, but as the room was a "smoking" room, I assume they were some […] sort of burns.

"Best deal for the quality."
I was skeptical about booking a hotel in the LA area without ever really seeing the hotels I was looking for. When I saw the Floral Inn I realized I had found a gem... as least for it's cost. When we arrives the man at the front desk was VERY polite and offered any help we needed. When we got to our room we found recently renovated interior and new(er) […] appliances like a medium sized fridge and a huge flat screen tv. The only two complaints I could think of was a spontaneous leak above the shower and the lack of comfort of the pillows. (very small deals). When I made the man at the desk aware of the leak he immediately suggested that we move rooms and apologized for the issue. In addition, most places that offer complementary breakfast are a ripoff of danish and orange juice. However, the Floral Inn offers a pretty decent breakfast of Bagels, danish, yogurts, milk, oatmeal, (any kind coffee or espresso drink you'd like) orange juice, fruit ect. Not your typical cheap hotel!!! On the flip side, if you plan on sleeping in till 11 or 12, be prepared for a lot of movement outside!... it get's kind of loud!

"attempt to modernize, but didn't finish."
As in most hotels, pictures are deceiving. Room is more of a picasso as there was barely enough room to walk in front of the bed (which was fairly comfortable). Plaster was falling off all around the shower spout. There was mold and errant caulking everywhere due to trying to cut costs with quality construction. The area is fairly run down and absent […] of any scenery or walkable space, although it is close to the highway. The "continental" breakfast was cereal, yogurt, bread, and maybe oatmeal. Very weak and unsatisfying. There is also no dining room so be sure to take your warm yogurt back to your room. The rating is misleading and certainly does not represent a reasonable review.

This was probably THE WORST hotel that I've EVER stayed in. It certainly wasn't the cheapest I've stayed in either. Motel 6 is nicer than this place. Don't let the pictures fool you... this place is gross. The craftsmanship that went into their "remodeling" was worse than a 12 year old child could do. The shower walls were falling off of the wall and […] had been re-caulked several times trying to make their shoddy work last a bit longer. The shower head was so low that anyone above my stature (5'7'') would have to kneel down to use the shower. There were holes around fixtures and paint missing all over the place.The fire sprinkler in the bathroom was just dangling through a HOLE in the ceiling and wasn't properly installed. Who knows if it actually works. We stayed there for two nights and housekeeping did NOT come in between the two days! Even Motel 6 does that!!! The beds were stiff and you only get 2 very flat pillows. The walls were paper thin and the noise from the road traffic was bad but we were able to sleep through it due to exhaustion. They only gave us enough towels for ONE day and we paid for TWO days. Not to mention that the towels we teenie tiny, super thin, and itchy. Læs mereÆgte Expedia-gæsteanmeldelse

Here's a terrific birdhouse that's as enjoyable as the aroma of the morning's first pot of coffee.
And it has a lot more going for it, too. The house is simple to build, costs pennies to make and is a great way to recycle coffee cans and scrap wood. As a bonus, it's a breeze to clean out after nesting season—just slip out the dowel and empty the can.
You don't have to paint it, but if you're like reader Jean Walters of Fort Worth, Texas who shared this plan, you might want to dress it up.
"These are great projects for children's groups, and they cost about $2 to make," Jean says. "Have your friends and neighbors save their coffee cans and precut the wood yourself. Then let the kids paint and assemble them. (If you plan to decorate your birdhouse, Jean suggests sanding and painting the pieces before assembly.) They're easy as store-bought pie to make, and sell faster than a cup of coffee in a doughnut shop.

NHS plans roadshows to explain why it must cut spending in Oxfordshire
10:30am Monday 4th November 2013 in News By Oliver Evans, covering Banbury. Call me on 01865 425271
HEALTH bosses have announced a series of public meetings about changes they need to make to services as they slash budgets.
Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group is to host six events to get staff and patients' views and is urging people to come along.
The move comes after a similar series of talks was held by Oxfordshire County Council as it cuts its own budget by tens of millions of pounds.
The GP-led group is in charge of most county NHS funding decisions and mustcut £25m this year to balance its £650m budget.
Chief executive Stephen Richards, said: "We can no longer continue providing services in the way we have done in the past.
"Services need to change and adapt to our growing population, NHS staff need to move with the times, patients and local people need to use services in the most appropriate way for their needs."
The events are part of what officials say is a national 'call to action' by NHS England around the future of the NHS, which has moved to provide more services in the community instead of hospitals.
Mr Richards said: "These events will give us the chance to have open and honest conversations with the people who use and run our services in Oxfordshire."
The authority came into being on April 1 under a re-organisation of the NHS by the Government.
It has been beset with problems since then, such as bed blocking and pressures on accident and emergency departments and has warned it could be £11.1m in debt at the end of the financial year because payments for hospital work are more than expected.
Last week the Oxford Mail reported that Dr Richards is to give up the management side of his role because of its demands.
Oxford East MP Andrew Smith said: "It is crucial this is genuine consultation and there is accurate information and options available."
The Labour MP urged the OCCG to hold more than one of the events in the evening.
The NHS in England is spending £95.6bn this year and has to cut £20bn by 2015.
Conservative Banbury MP Sir Tony Baldry said Oxfordshire's ageing population and new technology are major pressures.
Oxon Keep Our NHS Public chairman Ken Williamson: "This is going to be window dressing. It is still important for people to go to understand how things are presented."
Meeting dates:
Venues are yet to be to be confirmed:
- Wantage, November 19, 1pm to 5pm
- Witney, November 20, 6.30pm to 9.30pm
- Oxford, November 21, 9am to noon
- Banbury, December 3, 1pm to 5pm

I think it will range from $3-$5 per plant, depending on the size. There are some tomatoes that are already 8 inches tall!

Towards an Anodyne Theater
Will LeBow
11 comments:
- Bob Colonna said...
Will, thank God for you. As an actor who loves a) Shakespeare and b) challenging artistically provoking theatre, I share your feelings. Either you produce Shakespeare in a way that is clear, entertaining, exciting, fresh and challenging -- which usually works with audiences of all ages -- or you leave him the hell alone and do something you can manage. But don't even PRETEND that you are doing him a service with these SNL versions. And you're right -- why would someone be encouraged to read something that they have been told, blatantly, they will never enjoy?
All best,
Bob Colonna

My first professional play was Henry V at the A.R.T. I was 16 and was swept away by the work of actors such as Alvin Epstein, Bill Camp, Thomas Derrah and Will Lebow. Inspired so much so that this theater and the actors who made up the company became my idols, and the rubric of which I was to base my career.15 years later I have returned to Boston and am saddened to see that this institution that changed my life is no longer in existence.Thank you Will for continuing to inspire me, not only as an actor, but as an individual.

As much as I admire your talent, guts, and integrity, I must also salute your ability to give a shout-out to Eric Cartman in the title of such a scholarly (and personal) essay. You may not bring the bastards down, but you will, at the very least, make them look over their shoulders. This can't have been an easy (or enjoyable) thing to do, but I'm glad you did it. Thanks, Will.

Disclaimer: I am a member of the ART Board of Trustees and have been an ART subscriber for 28 years.
Further Disclaimer: Will LeBow is one of my favorite ART actors of all time.
Will, I appreciate your point of view and thank you for raising the discussion. I also appreciate your letter to the Boston Globe that was published today to point out the differences between your point of view and that of the recent Globe article on the ART.
I am an enthusiastic supporter of Diane Paulus and her direction at the ART. I also have appreciated and enjoyed many of the past ART productions. I'm not afraid of the ART taking risks and recognize that change can be difficult to accept and that every change may include losses as well as gains.
I don't believe that Diane's approach excludes more traditional theater. The ART's past season included a mix of many genres from Paradise Lost to Gatz to The Donkey Show to Johnny Baseball. Most of our audience appreciates the variety. And, I'm sure that a more traditional treatment of Shakespeare will return to the ART stage at some point. That wasn't the point of the Shakespeare Exploded festival. That festival also included more traditional student productions of many of the plays that the Exploded versions were based on and the aforementioned academic discussion of the differences. It wasn't just a tawdry show, although the festival did push the theater and the audience in many different directions to the acclaim of almost all reviewers and attendees.
I do think you owe an apology to the ART's Finance Director. Although she did indeed work at Clear Channel, she's hardly a corporate overlord. You imply some plot to undermine Actor's Equity at the ART led by the Finance Director. In fact, at Clear Channel, her role was Executive Producer and Assistant Producer of several successful Broadway and touring shows.

I am a former ART donor, now enthusiastic Actor's Shakespeare Project subscriber. I am not optimistic about the future of non profit theater. Indeed, the "bottom line" has become a top concern for other non profits. When I was in medical school forty years ago, marketing was regarded as unseemly, looked at with a jaundiced eye. Recently, I've gone to the website of a prominent medical school for information about a particular disease only to then be getting emails not providing information but rather soliciting for a quarterly journal costing 149.00 annually. Is the school trying to serve a vulnerable, frightened population or rather does it regard them as there to serve the school's bottom line. I had similar thoughts watching the documentary "Why We Fight"-- is it principal or money?
My thanks to Mr. LeBow for the above essay and past and future performances, John Boyd MD, Cambridge, MA - August 31, 2010 at 5:35 AM
- Mark Bernstein said...
It has been a privilege and and education to have seen you, and the rest of the ART company, in so many productions over so many years.
I do think some allowance should be made for the exigencies of a new start. When ART arrived in Cambridge it was already an established and important company. Brustein could get right down to business because it was business as usual. Paulus faces different challenges and I have assumed that some of the weakness of the first season might be laid at their door.
Even so, two of the productions were astonishing. "Sleep No More" may not have been precisely theatre but it was certainly theatrical and it expands our vision. It is not Shakespeare, but nor is Prokofiev or Tchaikovsky or Leonard Bernstein. And "Gatz", which at first I dismissed as a stunt, was an astonishing view of what acting can accomplish; you may know this can be done, but I did not think it possible and it has not often been done.
But there is much to worry about, and your focus on the neglect of language is pertinent. It worries me (you say it worries you) that The Donkey Show goes on and on in a space that could host new shows.
This is indeed an important discussion, and your essay is in fact much more useful, thoughtful, and provocative than was the Globe summary.

Re: Mark Bernstein and Mike Feinstein's references to the ART's production of "Gatz," they are somewhat misleading in that "Gatz" was not a home-grown creation but an established show that's been touring for years, created by the New York theater ensemble Elevator Repair Service. "Gatz" is an extraordinary show, but neither the ART nor its CEO can claim credit for it. The fact that the ART's most remarkable show wasn't created at the ART ought to give one pause.

I knew of course that Gatz (and Sleep No More) were imports, but extraordinary imported productions have been a central part of the ART season for many years.
Carmen and Don Juan from Jeune Lune, Rinde Eckert's Highway Ulysses, Pamela Gien's "Syringa Tree", Victoria Thierree Chaplin's "Aurelia's Oratoria," or Anne Bogart's splendid productions, would be (and were) highlights in any ART season.
I seems to me that the American Repertory Theater ought to *be* a repertory theater -- or at any rate that is should advance a new vision to replace the old if that is its intent. It does not currently function as one, but we can understand why this might prove difficult in a period of transition. Again, Lebow has done a real service here in focusing the question on the philosophy of the theater rather than on superficial issues of promotion and publicity. - August 31, 2010 at 9:43 AM

I wrote the following to ART Management after the announcement of the new season one year ago:
"It is with genuine regret that I will not be renewing my subscription for the 2009-10 season. I have been attending ART productions since its very inception, and purchased a two-seat subscription 15 years ago. I would estimate that I have attended 125 performances over the past 30 years.
I have read the relevant portions of the Arts Task Force Report, as well as the article about Diane Paulus in the Crimson last October. I believe I understand what Harvard is trying to achieve and where it has identified the most critical problems with the ART. I sympathize with the goal of tighter integration with the Harvard community. I understand the financial concerns that underscore this goal. But it seems to me that there is a wide gap separating the vision and its intended benefits from the actual program and its potential consequences.
At the risk of being provocative, I would also suggest that there appears to be a reverse snobbery, if not a condescending attitude, toward students in this approach. The ART has leapt from creative interpretations of classic works to travesties (in the original sense of this term) of those works.
Perhaps someone like me is no longer part of the intended audience. I am obviously no longer a student, nor have I ever been affiliated with Harvard or the ART. I could have accepted this idea if it had been borne out by experience. However, I cannot easily accept that the ART has been transformed so abruptly, the creative and dramaturgical staff marginalized, and the new season dominated by communal celebrations. Such events may well be part of theatrical tradition, but why should they immediately supplant everything that the ART has built and accomplished over all these years?
You have every right to manage the theater as you see fit. I am more disappointed than angry at losing the opportunity to see both great plays staged in contemporary, inventive ways, as well as new works that stress many of the same dramatic values. I will seek my theatrical sustenance elsewhere, but will follow with more than a little curiosity the public reception to the new ART."
Frankly, I was angrier than the letter suggests, but I wanted to make a point that might receive some serious attention. Having now seen the program for season 2, I realize that it -- and other letters like it -- had no impact at all.
Your letter is eloquent, direct, and on target. The rationalizations of those in Harvard Management who defend what is taking place at the ART are appalling. One wonders what they would say if other areas of the Harvard community were equally "popularized." What would Drew Faust say about replacing historical texts with costume re-enactments? What would the English Department say about popularizing, bowdlerizing, modernizing the texts they teach?
And, finally, there is really no longer an ART. The notion of repertory is lost. The respect for text scarcely exists. I have little doubt that the name will be changed to reflect this new enterprise.
Does all this mean that Diane Paulus's vision has no place? Not at all, but certainly not at what was one of the great theatrical and cultural institutions in the world. And one to which you contributed so many memorable performances.

The problem with free 'adaptations' that leave the text far behind is that, while you're sitting there fighting the feeling that the director/adapter is ...well... *embarrassed* by the source material they're using (whether they're conscious of it or not), you start feeling a little embarrassed for being there.

Computers Cause Stress for Couples
Computers are causing a great deal of stress in love lives. Two out of five U.S. adults who have a computer and also are in a relationship say computer-related issues have caused them some deal of stress, according to Crucial.com, an online retailer of computer memory products.
In fact, one of every five who responded to a Crucial.com survey said computer problems are more stressful and frustrating than having an argument with his or her significant other.
Chief sources of tension include the belief that the person's partner is spending too much time on the computer and the performance of the computer itself, according to responses of 2,691 adults polled by Harris Interactive. The complaint about time spent was cited by 23% of the respondents.
"A computer's performance can increase or lower stress in a relationship," said John Gray, the relationship counselor who wrote the 1992 best-seller Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. "We're living in a world where most people spend more time with a computer on a daily basis than they do with their spouse or significant other."
Women are also more likely than men to be disappointed by the performance of their computer, the researchers found.....Read more

You definately picked out a killer board. I am rocking a DH DFC Edition 155 with a set of Flux Rising Sun bindings. The funny part is everyone thought I was crazy for buying the board, but now, I have several people looking at the new DH and DFC DH this year. You will definately enjoy it, what are you looking to ride, park, all mountain, freeride? It will kill in the park and on rails. Congrats.

Yeah man, I spent most of my time the last few seasons getting comfortable riding and i did a little park riding, but I'm trying to hit up the park alot more this season, so that's good news for me. I can't wait to get out on the slopes and try it out

Just a suggestion on the bindings, I rocked out the Custom Detox bindings and Cartel's last season, each lasted 1 day of hard riding. Maybe I just had bad luck, but I don't think 2 would go to crap on me. If you are going to be spending time in the park, at least 75% of the time, look at Flux bindings. They are deticated freestyle bindings, and you will not be unhappy with them. I have the Steam Rising Suns. I actually watched my freestyling, like butters and different slides become easier because of the movement allowed by the bindings. Just a thought on bindings. Around my area, Burton is for the rich people who just carve down the hill, you see a lot of Union, Ride, and Rome's, but I love mine.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - A Eugene coalition is trying to put a dent in the binge drinking it says is taken for granted in the city known for rowdy parties in the University of Oregon neighborhoods.
KVAL-TV (http://bit.ly/RvMmm8 ) reports the Eugene Prevention Coalition has asked about 20 retailers not to market alcohol using drinking games, such as by selling the cups and balls for Beer Pong. It's also asking that alcohol displays not be tied to university athletics.
Health officials say alcohol-related death rates in the county are twice the national average.

John Densmore on Morning Joe
Jim CherryThe Doors Examiner
August 21, 2013
John Densmore made an appearance on the Morning Joe TV show this morning. Morning Joe is a daily political roundtable discussion hosted by former Florida congressman Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski and occasionally the delve into popular culture and have an actor or rock star to discuss the issues surrounding a cause theyre interested in, and Densmore was on talking about his book The Doors Unhinged: Jim Morrisons Legacy Goes on Trial.
The interview covers a lot of the same territory as in other recent interviews, a bit of Doors history (where did you meet Jim Morrison?), the death of Ray Manzarek, the events of the trial spurred by events surrounding The Doors of the 21st Century. Densmore did go a bit more into former Police drummer Stewart Copelands involvement in the affair, and how he ended up testifying on behalf of Densmore. You can watch the six minute video at Morning Joe: Defining the legacy of The Doors.
This isnt the first time Densmore has appeared on a cable news show he has recently appeared twice on HuffPost Live. In 2010 Lawrence ODonnell had Florida Governor Charlie Crist on The Last Word discussing the pardon of Jim Morrison in 2010 for the Miami incident.

Vester Weaver says her husband never hit her
ALBANY, GA -- Vester Weaver, wife of Albany Municipal Court Judge Willie Weaver, is coming to her husband's defense.
She was at a press conference Monday, along with Pastor Loretta Boges and Reverend James Bush.
They all say that Judge Willie Weaver is a good man and needs to be allowed to return to his family.
"My husband did not hit me, nor has he ever hit me," said Vester Weaver.
Vester Weaver testifying to the media. Friends and family rally around her as she pleads for a stay away order to be dropped against her husband, Judge Willie C. Weaver.
"I never requested this order and I wish to have this order removed so that my husband and I can live together to take care of our small children," said Vester.
"I know Willie Weaver Senior. Willie has demonstrated that he is an honorable and giving man," said Pastor Loretta Boges.
Other supporters talked about Judge Weaver's accomplishments and services to Dougherty County, such as serving on the school board and sponsoring a back to school picnic that gave out free school supplies.
We were not allowed to talk with Miss Weaver one-on-one, she said she called this press conference today because of her general mistrust of the media, saying she wanted to get the facts straight, saying her husband, Willie Weaver did not, in fact, strike her with a beer bottle.
"She has been forced to learn that sometimes you hear things in the media that are not really based on the truth," said Rev. James Bush.
"Some people simply cannot stand to see a hard working man who takes care of his wife and his children and supports his community, well, they just can't stand to see him do well," said Boges
Vester Weaver said her husband did not hit her, nor has he ever hit her, but according to police records filed by Weaver, she says he has hit her at least one to five times in the past. Fox 31 News has called the prosecution in this case, Cordele District Attorney Denise Fachini, but she has yet to return our phone calls.
