At the end of 2013, the year that marked the 50th anniversary of Francis Poulenc's death, his gripping and moving operatic masterpiece, Dialogues des Carmélites was staged in Paris by director Olivier Py with a cast featuring some of France's finest female singers – Patricia Petitbon, Véronique Gens, Sandrine Piau and Sophie Koch – under the baton of Jérémie Rohrer. Le Figaro described the production as "a thing of wonder," while Le Monde called it: "A masterpiece ... the most exciting and consummately achieved show to have been seen on a Parisian stage in a long time … This was great work, magisterial and unforgettable."
"The memorable Dialogues des Carmélites at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées marked the climax of commemorative activities for the 50th anniversary of Poulenc's death," wrote Opera magazine of the production of Poulenc's gripping and moving opera that was staged by the French director Olivier Py in Paris in December 2013.
Among operas composed in the post-War era, Dialogues des Carmélites, first seen in 1957 at La Scala, is one of the most frequently performed and best loved. Set during the French Revolution, it tells the story of a highly-strung young aristocrat, Blanche de la Force, who seeks peace by joining a convent and finally goes to the guillotine with her fellow nuns. Faith, fear, and sacrifice are among the issues it addresses with music – sometimes austere, sometimes sensuous, sometimes both at once – that exemplifies Poulenc's characteristic amalgam of simplicity and sophistication. Its final scene, as the nuns go one by one to their execution while singing a soaring 'Salve regina', is of spine-tingling pathos and power.
The stark, monochrome decor for Py's production, designed by André Weitz, makes use of sliding panels that open and close to create the acting space or reveal expressionist vistas, while the costumes evoke the first half of the 20th century rather than the era of the Revolution itself. Especially striking is the death scene of Madame de Croissy, the old Prioress, searingly sung and acted by the British mezzo-soprano Rosalind Plowright: the audience views her agonies as if from above, since her bed is mounted vertically on the rear panel of the stage. Later in the opera, when it comes to the final night in their convent, before their expulsion by the revolutionaries, the nuns are assembled as if for the Last Supper, while the stunning, transcendent final scene is set against a starry sky.

"Olivier Py's austere 1930s production boasts a distinguished, largely Francophone cast, headed by Poulenc specialist Patricia Petibon as Blanche, Sophie Koch as the fanatical Mère Marie, and British mezzo Rosalind Plowright as the tortured Old Prioress." Katherine Cooper, Presto Classical, 21st November 2014
"Breathtakingly conducted by Jérémie Rohrer, it boasts one of the finest casts ever assembled for the piece. Patricia Petibon gives the performance of a lifetime as Blanche...[Plowright's] performance has a dramatic veracity that is disturbing in the extreme...Long sceptical about the piece, I was completely won over – the highest complement I can pay it." The Guardian, 12th December 2014 *****
"this film of a production staged in Paris in 2013 has the immediate advantage of a wonderfully responsive conductor in Jérémie Rhorer and a largely Francophone cast...Py's abstract staging is refreshingly straightforward...overall this is a performance charged with all the opera's doom-laden dramatic urgency and spiritual power." The Telegraph, 24th January 2015 ****
"taken as a whole, this is visually by far the best recent Carmelites. It also has a dream cast...Petibon masterfully conveys the complexities of her contradictory character...Piau is a wonderfully bright-eyed as Constance, Rosalind Plowright is suitably disturbing in the alternate 'mad scene'..With Jérémie Rhorer's nuanced conducting, the Philharmonia on top form and sympathetic filming, there are no weaknesses." BBC Music Magazine, March 2015 *****
"Gens is a lean, nervous (rather than benelovent) Madame Lidoine...Koch's strong presence puts a particularly sharp point on the severity of Carmelite life...Plowright maintains great vocal and dramatic tension...Ultimately, the production and performances take the opera beyond the nuns' story but question the moral responsibility of martyrdom."

The two concerts from 2012 released on this DVD once again prove what Güher and Süher Pekinel are famous for: playing piano with the sixth sense. Whether they play Bartók's Concerto for two pianos and percussion at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino (conducted by Zubin Mehta) or Schubert's wonderful Fantasia in F minor at the Ludwigsburg International Music Festival – their total homogeneity is not only audible but also visible.
They seldom sit facing one another, as in the Bartók concerto. They love the risk involved in having the pianos placed one behind the other, which is highly benefi cial in acoustic terms and forces them to be particularly keen-eared. One of them sees only her sister's back, while the other sees nothing of her fellow performer at all. Where others make use of facial expressions and gestures, they have to rely completely on their ears.
In addition to Bartók and Schubert they also interpret Debussy, Mozart, Poulenc and Lutosławski, which makes this DVD a diversified and refreshing experience for the ears and for the eyes.

Paul Taylor Ballet Company
Paul Taylor is widely considered to be one of the foremost American choreographers of the 20th century. Paul Taylor is among the last living members of the second generation of America's modern dance artists. He has continued to win acclaim for his recent creations as well as stagings of his earlier works. As prolific as ever, he may propel his dancers through space for the sheer beauty of it, or use them to wordlessly illuminate war, spirituality, sexuality, morality and mortality. This programme was recorded in 2012 at the Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris and is composed of two ballets.
First performed in 1988 to music from Bach's Brandenburg concertos 3 and 6. 'Brandenburgs' is cast for a man and three women, plus an ensemble of five men. In an unusual stroke for Taylor, he uses the male quintet as a proper corps de ballet - that is, they frame the action and move only as a group, anonymously. The sharp hierarchical distinction between soloists and ensemble accounts for one aspect of the dance's classical feel. More important, though, is the ensemble's attitude toward the soloists.
Set to Francis Poulenc's 'Gloria', the dance was inspired by the life and work of 19th-century American writer Walt Whitman, who revered body and soul as one and who famously loved all with equal ardour. It depicts the experiences of an artist described in a line from Whitman's 'Leaves of Grass': "I am the poet of the body and I am the poet of the soul."

A passionate lover of the human voice, Francis Poulenc composed the Dialogues des Carmélites in 1953, using a libretto he himself had written from a screenplay by Georges Bernanos. The first ever performances in Munich, this production was entrusted to Dmitri Tcherniakov, whose worldwide reputation is underpinned by productions like Eugene Onegin and Macbeth at the Paris Opera and Don Giovanni at Aixen-Provence.
The superb international cast includes a fine Blanche de la Force in Susan Gritton and an excellent Madame de Croissy by Sylvie Brunet, who was favourably compared to Rita Gorr in the press. They are superbly backed up by Soile Isokoski, Susanne Resmark, Hélène Guilmette, Alain Vernhes and the fabulous Bernard Richter.
Kent Nagano with the Dialogues literally at his fingertips – he recorded a landmark version some years ago – is at the helm of the Bavarian State Opera Orchestra and Chorus.

"[the production is] set in a soulless authoritarian state but filmed in a way that underlines individual dilemmas and common humanity. It is worth watching for Sylvie Brunet's doughty Madame de Croissy, Soile Isokoski's gracious Madame Lidoine and Susan Gritton's winning Blanche." Financial Times, 4th June 2011 ***
"Tcherniakov's production is probably the most physically active Dialogues ever staged. Everyone is seemingly in constant motion...Sylvie Brunet is a memorably formidable and pitiable Croissy...Helen Guilmette's Constance, lively but never cloying or cute, is immeasurably enhanced by heavenly floated pianissimi...Isokoski, suitably dignified in her role, is in ravishing voice."

Together with Malcolm Martineau on the piano, the Grammy Award-winning mezzo-soprano Susan Graham features a fascinating compilation of well-known French composers.
Both have also toured with the program - comprising nearly two dozen songs by as many composers - to great acclaim. The recital Graham and Martineau gave this past summer at the Verbier Festival in French-speaking Switzerland brought down the house.
Being Musical America's 2004 Vocalist of the year, Graham is well-known as an expert in French melodies. The genre is known as a very tricky one, but she presents the songs with a fascinating jewel-like clarity and gleaming tone. Martineau is the perfect counter-part who adds some finely judged French seasoning.

The King's Singers
A live and televised recording from this year's BBC Proms performance on 5th August by the most famous a cappella group ever: the King's Singers. Regularly performing in excess of 100 concerts every season complemented by recording and teaching, The King's Singers delight audiences around the world with their incomparable musicianship, charm and wit.With the recent album release Landscape and Time having been described as possessing "singing of rare distinction", and "stunningly high musical standards", they have maintained their place at the apex of a cappella singing, and are counted amongst the world's elite classical performers. Continuing Signum's release series in celebration of the group's 40th Anniversary year, Simple Gifts (SIGCD121) and a 5-CD 'best of' (SIGCD120), this performance was in many ways a retrospective of the groups musical history, encompassing some of the earliest arrangements that the original line-up performed right up to contemporary works that they recently commissioned. Available on CD and DVD, the DVD includes extra interviews with the group from Suzy Klein and Gareth Malone, star of BBC series The Choir, and can also be enjoyed in 5.1 surround sound.
"In an exquisitely programmed concert, there was music ranging from the Renaissance to the present, including the opening selection of Poulenc's witty "Chansons françaises" and various Victorian parlour songs "in the biggest Victorian parlour ever built." …the pure quality of the vocal balance is quite extraordinary. The King's Singers had travelled back in time some 400 years (who needs Dr Who at the Proms?). Then followed an example of the many works the group has commissioned, John McCabe's haunting evocation of American wastelands, "Scenes in America deserta", based on the writings of architectural historian Reyner Banham. McCabe took his bow. The evening ended with folksongs arranged by Gordon Langford and members of the group, Bob Chilcott (who left in 1997) and current baritone Philip Lawson. Langford's "Widdicombe" Fair played to the group's effortless resource of funny voices and genial comedy. The encore was Arthur Sullivan's arrangement of "The Long Day Closes", apposite for a concert finishing at fifteen minutes short of midnight and perfectly judged in this performance."

Charlemagne (Charles the Great)
Frankish King
Charlemagne, king of the Franks and the Holy Roman Empire, conducted almost continuous military operations for more than four decades to extend his rule over most of western and central Europe. Rightfully known as a "light in the Dark Ages," Charlemagne is the most influential military leader of the Middle Ages because his armies dominated the battlefield and their victories led to uniting Germanic, Roman, and Christian cultures into what became the cornerstone of European civilization.
Born the son of Pepin the Short on April 2, 742, at Aachen, in present-day Germany, near the Dutch and Belgian borders, Charlemagne entered a family already striving to control their own region and subjugate their neighbors. Through force in 754, Pepin became the king of the Franks – present-day France, Belgium, and Switzerland and parts of Holland and Germany – and immediately began military efforts to acquire territory south of the Loire River and to provide support to the pope in Rome against the Lombards of northern Italy. Charlemagne accompanied his father during these expeditions and acquired his military education.
Pepin dies in 768, leaving his empire to his sons Charlemagne and Carloman. This duel kingship had little chance of success, but before any great difficulty occurred, Carloman died in 771, making Charlemagne the sole leader. Charlemagne had married the daughter of the Lombard king Desiderius in 770 to maintain an alliance with the former enemy of the Franks. On the death of his brother, Charlemagne sent his wife back to her father and began his empire expansion with an offensive against the Lombards. By 774, Charlemagne had defeated his father-in-law and assimilated the Lombard lands of northern Italy into the Frankish Empire.
Charlemagne based much of his expansionism on his father's promise to Rome to protect papal interests. Although religion provided an excuse, acquiring land and broadening borders proved to be a much stronger motivation to Charlemagne than any divine direction. Even before his armies defeated the Lombards, Charlemagne turned his might against the pagan Saxons who occupied what today is northern Germany. It required eighteen campaigns and more than thirty years before the Franks totally defeated the Saxons in 804. More than a fourth of the Saxon population died in the protracted wars from Charlemagne's postwar policy that the defeated people either accept Christianity or be executed.
Infantry armed with axes and spears and protected by shields and leather vests composed the bulk of the Frankish army. During Charlemagne's reign, some of these foot soldiers formed the beginnings of the medieval mounted knights and fought from horseback with long swords that were superior to other countries' weapons of the period. Charlemagne did not maintain his army full-time; rather, he called his soldiers from their farms and towns on a seasonal basis, usually in the spring, to conduct campaigns lasting three to six months. He required all physically able free men to serve without pay and to provide their own weapons as well as three months of supplies. Their compensation was booty at the close of each campaign. Charlemagne supplemented his men's rations with a herd of cattle that followed the army.
Charlemagne organized one of the better intelligence networks of the period, sending out spies and scouts to determine enemy locations and capabilities. To confuse opponents, he often divided his army into two columns and united the force only at the time of attack. Battles usually began with a charge of cavalry followed by massed infantry. Once a fight began, little maneuver occurred. Charlemagne's forces were victorious because of their superior numbers and individual abilities.
While fighting the Saxons, Charlemagne also conducted campaigns to expand his empire into current southwest France and southern Germany. He invaded what is today Hungary and Bosnia as well and defeated the Avars, an Asiatic nation related to the Huns. In 778, Charlemagne invaded Spain, and although his efforts against the Moors to capture the entire country proved unsuccessful, he occupied a northern portion that became known as the Spanish March. As the Franks withdrew from Spain, Charlemagne's rear guard, commanded by his nephew Roland, fell to the Christian Basques. The epic medieval poem The Song of Roland immortalized the battle.
Charlemagne now controlled the bulk of western and central Europe and led the strongest army in the Western world. On Christmas Day, 800, Charlemagne knelt to pray in Rome's St. Peter's Basilica, and Pope Leo III placed a crown on his head, declaring him the emperor of the restored Holy Roman Empire.
Actually, the new Roman Empire that Charlemagne ruled differed greatly from that of the past. The new empire was only about half as large, and Charlemagne, of course, was Teutonic rather than Roman. In his entire life, the new emperor of Rome visited the city on only four occasions, preferring to rule from Aachen and to spend much of his time campaigning in the field.
From 800 forward, Charlemagne ceased expanding his borders, concentrating instead on threats from the Vikings and Danes in the north and the Byzantine Greeks and the Mediterranean Arabs in the south. No major battles occurred, however, and Charlemagne lived out his last years fairly peacefully as he focused on domestic and cultural matters. He died at age seventy-one of pleurisy, on January 28, 814, and was buried in Aachen.
Charlemagne continually exhibited his leadership and capability as a military commander. He also provided the greatest leadership of the Middle Ages in developing rules of law, in the copying of books and manuscripts, in spreading the Christian doctrine, and in the teaching of Latin. Although his actions encouraged the religious wars that bloodied Europe and Asia for centuries in the future and his empire survived only thirty years after his death, Charlemagne is largely responsible for the fusion of Christian, Germanic, and Roman cultures that yielded what would become European civilization.

True Blood: Strange Love (series premiere)
(S01E01) True Blood is definitely a show after my own heart. I love any high concept drama that lays out the entire idea in the first five minutes.
In case you didn't get it, here's the short version. Synthetic blood is now available for vampires to buy, therefore they no longer need to kill to survive. So, as a society, they decide to live out in the open and are met with the kind of fear and skepticism that you'd expect.
The great part of the show is that unlike ethnic groups that are defined by their race, vampires exist in every society all around the globe. In a way, the whole thing can be viewed as a comment on the difficulty of being a homosexual in today's world.
On first look, I can't help but think that this may be the perfect TV show. It combines the brilliance of Alan Ball, the hotness of Anna Paquin, the mystique of vampires and the innate humor of the deep south to make a very intriguing program.
Like Ball's other show, Six Feet Under, one of the best parts of the show is the supporting characters. The people who wander in and out of the lives of Sookie Stackhouse and her friends are always interesting to watch.
One twist of the show is that vampire blood is a much sought after commodity. So not only are vamps persecuted and discriminated against, they are often hunted and drained by addicts and dealers.
What I particularly liked about the show is the setting. By placing the action in Louisiana, Ball is able to parallel the plight of the vampire with a host of other minorities all at the same time. The little town of Bon Temps is a melting pot of black, white, gay, fat and every other kind of group that has ever felt persecuted.
As one would expect, the show is much more than just a vampire circus. In this first episode, Sookie's brother Jason gets carried away and strangles a girl during sex. He, of course, blames it on vampires since he has seen video of her copulating with the undead. Unfortunately, he's not smart enough to realize that there is also videotape of him losing control and taking the woman's life. When the law comes after him, it's not only a great twist, but it's also great to see William Sanderson and Chris Bauer back on series TV.
One more twist is that Sookie happens to be able to read minds. Not only does this make her special compared to the rest of her friends but it gives her a real reason to be attracted to Bill, her first vampire, since he's the one person who's mind she can't read.
Giving the lead character special powers causes True Blood to resemble Buffy a little too much, but considering how fans of that show are still moaning it's demise, they will probably welcome Ball's vampire tale with open arms. The writing makes it clear that the world is not inhabited by a host of other monsters like Sunnydale. It's only vampires. The other striking difference is, of course, the location.
Overall, the show has plenty of what it takes to build an audience and I know that I am definitely a fan.

Obama and Color-Coded Racial Double Talk
Could racism really keep Barack Obama out of the White House?
August 17, 2008 - 12:51 am
[E]ven if black turnout rises by 25 percent from 2004 … if Hispanic turnout holds steady … and the under-50 vote rises by 5 percent … the Democrat would still need to win 40 percent of the overall paleface vote to prevail in November …
— John Heilemann
The "paleface vote," Mr. Heilemann? Very sophisticated. That'll do wonders for race relations.
In his color-coded article, "The Color-Coded Campaign," John Heilemann doesn't just hint that racial prejudice will prevent Barack Obama from winning the White House. He states it directly and without equivocation. The reason America's first black major party presumptive presidential nominee hasn't blown out the intractably boring and uninspiring John McCain in the polls, given "surging" Democratic voter registration and voters' disenchantment with Republicans, is his skin color.
It wouldn't have anything to do with Obama's liberal beliefs, inexperience, gaffes, and inconsistencies, would it? No, it's because he's black, says Heilemann and other liberals. Lurking just below the surface of any white person's criticism of Barack Obama is racial bias. Heilemann's article leaves the impression that Obama longs to take the high road and rise above such distractions; Republicans and other white people just won't let him.
Obama may want to ignore "the elephant in the room," says Heilemann, but since his racist detractors are "intent on blackening him," he can't avoid it. Instead of ignoring race, which is impossible, Obama needs to "talk about race … without talking about race." What kind of double talk is that? Can the other side talk about Obama's race without talking about Obama's race? This is what we've come to in America. Race isn't an elephant in the room. We see it and we're talking about it. We can't stop talking about it, including the man himself.

The Kentucky Derby: Looking at The Top Contenders & Then Some
Ed. Note: I had asked Kelly to provide a paragraph on the Kentucky Derby for the sign-off portion of this morning's Daybreak Doppler. As with most people, when you ask them to write about something they love you often get more than you bargained for, in a good way. When I received & read this last night there was just no way I could bury it at the bottom of a Daybreak Doppler. In Kelly's inaugural post here, she breaks down the Top contenders in this year's Run for the Roses & also gives her long shot choice. You can follow Kelly on Twitter at @KelKelKelKel to get more of her takes on the Derby & instant reaction during the race tomorrow.
Saturday marks the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby. With one of the most talented fields in years, the 2012 Run for the Roses is sure to not disappoint.
Top Contenders:
Bodemeister – Dominated in the Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park and posted the highest Beyer Speed Figure of any horse in the Kentucky Derby field. The experts say it was a fluke and the victory have more to do with trainer Bob Baffert 's win streak this spring. He's a fan favorite and the "hot bet" right now, but may be out of his league in this race. Fun fact, the horse is named after Baffert's son Bode, who was named after skier Bode Miller.
Dullahan – Looked impressive in his Bluegrass Stakes victory on polytrack, but he is a proven turf horse with lukewarm feelings about running on the dirt. He is a half-brother to 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird. The experts LOVE him.
Gemologist – This undefeated horse has been somewhat overlooked leading up to the Derby. He won convincingly in his only two starts this year – an allowance race and the Wood Memorial. He has the pedigree to get the mile and a quarter, but is very lightly raced and may lack the experience to deal with the big crowd and big field.
Hansen – The little gray colt hasn't gotten much attention from the press since his 2nd place finish in the Bluegrass to Dullahan on the polytrack at Keenland. The horse loves the dirt at Churchill, where he won the 2011 Breeders' Cup Juvenile, which should give him an edge.
I'll Have Another – Connections were not happy with his post position (19 of 20), but this California shipper should look to be a major factor if he can overcome it. He won his last two prep races and will love the distance. I'll Have Another has been training beautifully with his "mentor", the champion gelding Lava Man . Expect his odds to go down proportionally to the number of mint juleps consumed.
Union Rags - Earlier this week trainer Michael Matz said that this colt has trained as well as his beloved Barbaro did prior to his 2006 Kentucky Derby victory. Matz isn't one to embellish. Union Rags has an excellent post position and the pedigree to go the distance, but his 3rd place finish in his last race, the Florida Derby, is a concern.
And finally, my Derby "dark horse":
Take Charge Indy – The wire-to-wire Florida Derby winner should look to factor early in the race. He's breaking from the inside in the number 3 spot with two-time-Derby-winning, Churchill-loving, rail-skimming jockey Calvin Borel. His past performances haven't been stellar, and he'll need a perfect trip, but Take Charge Indy is the most royally bread horse in the Derby and should get the distance. EVERYTHING is going right for this horse.
Two other horses to keep an eye on: Went the Day Well and Alpha

Looking Under the Hoodie: Lessons from Trayvon Martin's Death
D.C. residents gathered for a frank discussion about everything from saggy pants to youth mentoring, from racial profiling to their own slain children. Update: At the Tatler: Charged with Second Degree Murder, George Zimmerman Turns Himself In.
April 11, 2012 - 8:58 am
Hudson traced the roots of intolerance in D.C. to a segmented city where there's little interaction between neighborhoods.
He drew upon his experience as a marketing professional in educating his kids about how to carry themselves in the world.
"My sons are wearing the brand of an African-American man every time they walk out into the street," Hudson said. If their pants are sagging, "pull them up," he said, stressing that it's a parent's responsibility to teach youths "to carry themselves in a manner to show the world that they are productive individuals."
"Make sure that all young men see what they can be… then the rest of the world will see what's under the hood," Hudson added.
When the floor opened for questions or brief statements, a sizable chunk of the crowd quickly jumped into line. Youths were urged to get at the front of the line so they could get home early on a school night. Those who stepped to the mike one by one were like a microcosm representation of D.C.'s African-American community.
You had the college students who had found a way forward and wanted to help others from their neighborhoods do the same. You had a couple guys urging "black nationalism," with one calling blacks in Congress "Uncle Toms." You had deacons and activists encouraging community members to get involved and "become a part of the city, not just your street," in Hudson's words.
One question asked of the panel was what life skill would give youths the best chance of coming home alive each evening.
"Love 'em. Teach them right and wrong," Rawlings said. "We've just got to keep on loving them."
Hudson added that kids need to be taught the law and their rights. "They also have to be able to trust the police," he added, and call upon them when trouble arises. "Make those calls quickly and not take matters into their own hands… you need to quickly get yourself out of that situation."
Audience members had advice to add that included having the phone numbers of your kids' friends to not shying away from the "tough conversations."
"Father, be fathers," one said. "Teach our young men how to present themselves in the community."
"When you get to college, you must stay involved," one Brown University graduate said. "You must look out for each other."
Another college student, studying for his PhD at Columbia University, told the crowd that he was a high school dropout who had spent time in jail.
"Tell people they have value," he passionately stressed. "Get up tomorrow and make a difference in your life!"
While one audience member chided blacks for not speaking openly because of the smattering of whites in the crowd, another countered that "there are more than just black people who are going to make a difference in this area."
Norton noted the lively discussion as the forum drew to a close as a sign that the event had "lived up to its expectations."
"You know you've had a good forum when everybody speaks what's on their mind," she said. "…There were comments that were critical and there were comments that were self-critical."
"There's no excuse for profiling, but there's no excuse for inviting it, either," Norton added.
She also stressed that the "more difficult" issue of black-on-black violence must be confronted. "Most of it's not cops shooting us," the representative said. "There are lots of issues for us to work on in our community."
That includes dealing with "the last remaining, most serious form of discrimination in this country."
In an effort to do that, Norton is introducing a racial profiling bill when Congress returns Monday.
"It's a bill that would give grants to local jurisdictions in order to help them develop laws and programs that can combat racial profiling. I have tried in the past to get a national law against racial profiling but have been unable to do that, so this is my fallback," she told PJM after the event.
"And I don't see how anybody could be against this," she added. "You don't have to take the grant, you don't have to participate, but if you want help, and some cities need help, they don't know what to do, then you can get help through this grant funding."
Norton hopes Republicans will see that the bill is "benign and it's something that I think some jurisdictions would like to see." She'll be circulating a Dear Colleague letter on Monday to collect co-sponsors. "I think I'll get a lot," she said.
One woman at the forum expressed frustration that through the discussion there was "no one point made that we can all pick up on."
But a deacon who stepped up to the microphone seemed to reflect the most unifying sentiment in the crowd and on the panel. Expressing that he was "tired of going to forums like this," he advocated that more youth programs be made available to help parents.
"When are we going to get out there and grab these young people and teach them?" he said.

Welcome to the International
Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation
Both men and women compete in the sport of bobsleigh, a sport that combines speed, power and agility. There are two person races for men and women. Men also have a four-man event. Bobsleigh is one of the original sports in the Olympic Winter Games.
The Race & World Cup Circuit
Bobsleigh teams include a brakeman and a pilot in the two-man event, while two crewmen/pushers are added for the four-man race. From a standing start, the crew pushes the sled in unison for up to 50 meters. This distance is typically covered in less than six seconds and speeds of over 40 km/h...
The Sled
The sled is an aerodynamic machine made of fiberglass and steel, mounted on four highly polished steel runners. The two front runners have approximately three inches of lateral movement and are attached to ropes held by the driver, who steers the sled. The brake handles are located...
The Track
Although a few natural ice tracks are still in use today, most competitions take place on concrete-based tracks with artificial ice surfaces. Although the standard length is 1,500 meters, every course has unique characteristics and varying degrees of difficulty. All courses drop a minimum specified vertical...
The Equipment
Bobsledders wear helmets and skintight racing uniforms made from a stretchy material. Racing shoes have small spikes on the soles for traction on the ice. Drivers must wear goggles. Most drivers wear gloves, although some prefer bare hands to feel the steering ropes better. Some riders wear...

An old Jewish proverb says "I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders." What could be broader than when a burden is shared between two people? These ten songs are about how two people can support each other through hard times by sticking together. Specifically about holding on and supporting each other no matter what comes their way.
"All I Ask of You" by Sarah Brightman & Cliff Richards
"All I Ask of You" is the song that the troubled lovers sing in the musical Phantom of the Opera. The man is basically telling the woman that he will protect her and always be there for her while the woman tells him she just wants to be with him.
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe
No one will find you
Your fears are far behind you
"Be" by Plus One
Plus One was an American pop band from the 2000s that was created as a sort of counter to the overtly sexual boy and girl bands that were running rampant at the time. Although the band was considered Christian, this song does not contain any overtly religious references.
Whenever you're stranded in the cold
Remember my love's an overcoat
I'm here to keep you safe in my arms
Where you belong
"I Cross My Heart" by George Strait
This is the song that was song at the end of the movie Pure Country, where George Strait plays a overworked country singer. My favorite lines in the song are "You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete," "So let's make each tomorrow be the best that it can be," and "And if along the way we find a day it starts to storm, / You've got the promise of my love to keep you warm."
Our love is unconditional, we knew it from the start.
I see it in your eyes, you can feel it from my heart.
From here on after let's stay the way we are right now,
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow
I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine
"I Got You Babe" by Sonny & Cher
The problem with some great, classic songs is that they have been done so much that they become almost a parody of themselves. That's what I feel happened to this song. Maybe because it was the song that woke Bill Murray up every morning in the movie Groundhog Day.
They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you
"If We Hold On Together" by Diana Ross
"If We Hold On Together" was used in the 1988 animated film The Land Before Time. Despite that, it's a great song that's not just about sticking together but being true to yourself too.
Don't lose your way with each passing day
You've come so far, don't throw it away
Live believing dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story, faith, hope and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by for you and I
"Islands in the Stream" by Kenny Rogers with Dolly Parton
This song was written by the Bee Gees and intended for Marvin Gaye, but it was recorded by Rogers and Parton instead. The title of the song came from an Ernest Hemingway story.
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah
"Just the Two of Us" by Grover Washington
A classic love song, "Just the Two of Us" talks about how two people "can make it if we try." Even if they are "Building castles in the sky" the relationship will survive if they stick together. If you'd like a more modern version, check out Will Smith's version also included on the widgets.
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted water is all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not to those who wait too late
We got to go for all we know
"Keep Holding On" by Avril Lavigne
"Keep Holding On" is a pop-rock, power ballad recorded by Avril Lavigne. It is also the theme song for the film Eragon. This song has also been done on Glee.
You're not alone, together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold and it feels like the end
There's no place to go, you know I won't give in
No, I won't give in
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
"Push" by Sarah McLachlan
Sarah McLachlan wrote this song in order to give her fans a happy love song. Before this song, most of McLachlan's songs were about the darker side of love.
You stay the course you hold the line you keep it all together
You're the one true thing I know I can believe in
You're all the things that I desire, you save me, you complete me
You're the one true thing I know I can believe
I get mad so easy but you give me room to breathe
No matter what I say or do 'cause you're to good to fight about it
Even when I have to push just to see how far you'll go
You wont stoop down to battle but you never turn to go
"Unbreakable" by Westlife
I love Westlife. They may be a "boy band" but they have some great love songs. "Unbreakable" talks about how they will help each other through the bad times "'Cause together we are strong."
This love is unbreakable
It's unmistakeable
And each time I look in your eyes
I know why
This love is untouchable
I feel that my heart just can't deny
Each time I look in your eyes
Oh baby, I know why
This love is unbreakable

Movie fans complain a lot about the cost of watching films, either in theaters or online. Ticket prices now average about $8 nationwide, and waiting a couple months until they're available on Netflix now costs about twice what it used to, thanks to that service's recent rate hike.
But there are some new alternatives to paying face value for movie tickets or online rentals. In some cases, they involve leveraging the power of social media to get group discounts. Read on to see how some services are offering ways to save money on movies.
Online group-purchase coupon services like Groupon, Living Social, and Daily Candy have all tried, with varying success, to offer discounted movie tickets this year. Theater owners still get full price, with third parties paying the difference. (This spring's opening-weekend Groupon discount of 'The Lincoln Lawyer' was such an effort, with studio Lionsgate paying the difference as a promotional cost.) According to the Los Angeles Times, however, theater owners are leery of letting moviegoers become accustomed to having someone else set ticket prices, especially discounted ticket prices.
Nonetheless, MoviePass is moving forward with a new partner, Hollywood Movie Money, a company whose vouchers have long been accepted by major theater chains. Subscribers will be able to print out their own Hollywood Movie Money vouchers off their computers. (The business model depends, as Netflix does, on a large percentage of subscribers paying cash up front for more services than they end up using.) Variety says theater owners may still bristle at the MoviePass initiative, but the company says it hopes they'll change their mind if they see that MoviePass increases theater attendance -- and snack-counter sales, which is where theaters make most of their money anyway.
Group discounts are available as well for the still-new medium of online movie rentals, where prices are much more in flux than they are under the long-established system of theatrical exhibition. The startup site flickme.com has added a social-media component to its rental library, the Associated Press reports. Standard movie rentals there cost $3.99 for new releases and $2.99 for older films, but you can rent for as little as $1.49 if you pick a movie recommended by a friend. (This price break is available on only about a third of flickme's library, which consists of about 1,000 films so far.) If you recommend a movie, you can provide such a discount to up to 10 of your friends, though you'll have to pay full price.
The AP sees the flickme deal as part of a larger trend of social-media rentals, noting that studios are starting to make streaming rentals available directly through Facebook for as little as $3 apiece.
You can effectively download a movie for as little as $1.99 on mSpot, a cloud library for mobile devices and PCs. The company's new service allows you to watch movies DVR-style -- that is, you can start watching while the movie is still downloading or buffering, and you can finish watching offline. This is especially handy for people who watch movies on cell phones or tablets; in fact, according to a company press release, mSpot's new app comes pre-loaded on some new Lenovo tablets.
Whether these initiatives will change the way we watch movies remains to be seen. But they may be the first step in changing the way we pay for them.

The Nightforce ATACR is the ultimate long range riflescope, taking the best features from the popular NXS line and adding even more high quality elements for the long range shooter. The ATACR has more magnification and allows for more elevation adjustment than the NXS while also providing better light transmission and a wider field of view.
The ATACR™ was created to exceed—not just meet—the potential of the newest super-magnum calibers and projectiles having extremely high ballistic coefficients. While some riflescopes impose limits, the ATACR™ removes them. It is a riflescope in a class of its own.
CLICK HERE for a detailed review of the Nightforce ATACR Riflescope by Jeff Brozovich.
With the MOAR reticle, 1 MOA elevation and windage markings, more accurate range finding and hold-offs are possible on smaller targets at longer ranges. Combined with a floating center crosshair, this makes for a reticle extremely fast and easy to use in the field. MOAR™ reticles have a 20 MOA scale below centerline. The entire reticle is illuminated. .140 MOA lines.
CLICK HERE for a detailed MOAR Reticle Specifications Sheet.
The MOAR-T reticle is a finer version of the MOAR™ reticle for even more precision at extreme ranges. .0625 MOA lines. Center Illumination only.

Profitshare for small job on a "Casual Game"

Profitshare for small job on a "Casual Game"
By mattt8 on Sep 01, 2008 11:39 PM
We are creating a "Casual Game" in the Adventure category for a site such as www.bigfishgames.com, and are seeking an artist who is interested in the game credit, as well as in profit sharing. All participants will profit share, no salaries will be paid to any participant including the principals.
We have a 10+ year veteran game designer from the video game/MMORPG industry, and a 10+ year former employee of Microsoft from the Direct X developement department as the programmer. The project is fairly small, and the art piece and objects would not require lots of time. You can sample various similar games at that or any other "casual" game website. In 2007 the Casual Games market grossed over 2 billion dollars, so the small size and focus of the games (and small pricetag, usually about $9.95) doesn't mean there isn't plenty of money to be had in the marketplace.
If you are interested, contact email@example.com.
Thank you,
Matt Thomas

About Ginger Harris
I have been taking pictures most of my life. At family functions and during my travels, I was always the one with the camera or someone would hand me a camera and say, 'You take better pictures than I do. I chop off their heads!'
I started taking photography more seriously about seven years ago when my husband surprised me with a Nikon D70 DSLR digital camera. He passed away a month after that. Several months later, I joined our local camera club, The Blue Water Shutterbug Club. www.bwshutterbugs.org I am now club president. I have photographed weddings, baby showers, senior portraits as well as going to local craft shows to sell my photographs of nature and things I find interesting.
Photography has shown me the beauty and wonder our planet has to offer. I love to travel and recently visited Colorado and took some great pictures! Some of my best work has been done right in my own back yard here in Michigan. Michigan has some wonderful places to photograph. I love old barns and lighthouses! Michigan has both items in great abundance. In my 'bucket list' I want to take pictures of every lighthouse in Michigan. I have photographed most of the lighthouses located on Lake Huron.

I'm very excited to say I moved here about a year ago from North Carolina where I lived for the past 15 years. I have also lived in San Francisco. I work in radio. I'm a liberal thinker, but conservative on relationships. I think I am unusual for a guy, in that I am a hopeless romantic. I consider the needs and desires of my partner before mine in most situations. Along with my gentle side is a person who is strong and can get the job done. I constantly try to understand the meaning of life, and strive to do the right thing. I love to laugh and make others laugh also. I'm a complex person, the brain never stops. Home is important to me, since I don't do the bar scene much. I want space, (inside and outside) all the electronic gizmo's, lots of channels on my TV, (but not a couch potato) and pretty surroundings. I love art , architecture and style. I am passionate about animals and their wellbeing. I am also very concerned about what we are doing to the environment. As far as what I am looking for; you have to be someone nice. A regular person, easy to be with. Since I am very young at heart and liberal minded, I need someone who is the same. especially important to me is finding someone who is ready emotionally for someone like me. who wants to put in the time it takes to get to know me,( providing the chemistry is there ) to share my home and friends with. I'm not perfect, though I always try to improve myself. Therefore perfection is not required, niceness is.

Written Answers - Ferry Services
Thursday, 16 February 2012
Dáil Éireann Debate
22. Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the efforts he made to ensure the future viability of the Cork to Swansea, UK, ferry service; the estimated impact of the loss of that service for the Cork and Kerry tourism industry; and his plans to address this issue. [8604/12]
Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Michael Ring): I am disappointed to learn that the Cork-Swansea Ferry Service, operated by the Fastnet Line, has ceased to operate. I met the West Cork Tourism Co-op on 17 January when they outlined their plans for the future of the service. As a first step, the co-op advised me of the overriding requirement to secure further investment to bring the enterprise out of examinership.
I advised the co-op at the time that the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and the State Agencies under its remit had no function in the subsidisation or provision of ferry services for this or other routes or indeed the finance to do so.
That said and within the strict confines of EU State Aid rules, the State Tourism agencies have been supportive of the ferry service since its inception. In particular, they have provided co-operative marketing support, offered a range of business supports and Fáilte Ireland certified the venture for Business Expansion Scheme funding. I know that in recent months the State tourism agencies had more discussions with the operators and were assisting them in putting together a marketing plan. Further general business supports were also offered to the company which were intended to assist the service in securing sales and improving yields had it been able to exit the examinership process.
[107]Regrettably the company was not able to reach a position where it could have availed of those supports. I accept that the loss of the service is likely to have some impact on tourism in the southern region.

This page gives statistical information for each Pardot campaign. Pardot campaigns are created and managed under Marketing > Campaigns. Statistics are found under the Reports > Campaigns.
Campaign Performance Overview Report
The Campaign Performance report gives a high level overview of a campaign's overall health in comparison to other campaigns in a graphical, highly configurable interface. You can adjust the graph's view by the campaign's status (current, archived or all) as well as by date range. Use the 4 axis campaign report to pinpoint which campaigns are high performers and returning good ROI value and then comparatively display those campaigns.
To access the Campaign Performance Overview Report:
- Navigate to Reports > Campaigns.
- View the Campaign Performance report at the top of the Campaign Reports page
The report is configurable across all 4 axes: X, Y, Size and Color. The axes labels are interactive and will change to reflect the choices made in the sidebar.
You can adjust the range slides for each axis. When you move the range sliders for the X and Y axes, you will zoom in and out of the graph. When you move the range sliders for the Color and Size axes, you are filtering out values so campaign bubbles will appear or disappear based on your range.
Mousing over each campaign bubble will show that campaign's name as well as the statistics related to the axes set on the sidebar.
The values available on each axis are dependent on the other axes' chosen values. The X axis will default to Cost and the Y axis will default to ROI.
The Size axis displays a circle representing the size of the chosen option. The larger the value, the bigger the circle. The Size axis will default to Prospects.
The Color axis is represented as a heatmap across the top of the graph. The Color axis will default to Opportunities.
Please note that the axes filter settings or dimensional mapping will not be saved when you navigate away from the page.
Looking for guidance or examples as you create your 4-axis campaign reports? The template below shows a sample report and explains the chosen metrics to help you get started.
Lowest Cost per Opportunity:
This report graphically illustrates the campaign that gave the lowest cost per opportunity while returning the highest value. To build this report, set the X-axis to Cost ,the Y-axis to Cost/Opportunity, the Size axis to Prospects and the Color axis to Value. The campaign with the lowest cost per opportunity is easily identifiable as the largest red circle: Created from SFDC. It's Cost/Opportunity is $74 while returning a value of $439,119. **from the bottom up**

Exhibition dates: December 13, 2003 - May 23, 2004
Release date: August 15, 2003
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) presents SUPERNOVA: Art of the 1990s from the Logan Collection, from December 13, 2003, through May 23, 2004. This exhibition of more than 80 works drawn from the collection of Vicki and Kent Loganincluding painting, sculpture and photographyoffers a survey of visual artistic practices of the 1990s, a decade that produced some of the most challenging and exciting contemporary art. Organized by Madeleine Grynsztejn, Elise S. Haas Senior Curator of Painting and Sculpture, SUPERNOVA reflects a particularly rich period marked by an unprecedented boom in technology, mass use of the Internet and a new, international perspective in contemporary art.
The exhibition takes its title from Takashi Murakami's tour de force painting Super Nova, 1999, which depicts "the destruction of an earthly terrain by atomic weapons whose mushroom clouds are rendered in ravishingly colorful detail," according to catalogue essayist Dan Cameron, an image that also carries an "inescapable reference to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and to their legacy within Japanese youth culture today…." The term SUPERNOVA also references the explosion of artistic styles that took place during the 1990s and is captured in all its diversity by the Collection of Vicki and Kent Logan.
As such, SUPERNOVA is one of the first exhibitions to look back on this pivotal decade from the lens of the early 21st century, bringing to light several overarching issues and themes: the fluidity of contemporary identity (Yasumasa Morimura's Monna Lisa images, Zhang Huan's Foam photographs); the vulnerability of the human body (Ron Mueck's Untitled [Man Under Cardigan], Kiki Smith's Virgin Mary) the legacy of Pop art (Michel Majerus's SP 2, Vik Muniz's Last Supper); the merging of painting with media technologies (Franz Ackermann's B1 [Barbeque with the Duke], Sarah Morris' National Geographic [Capital]); text as image (Tracey Emin's Fantastic to Feel Beautiful Again, Glenn Ligon's White #13) the play of art history (John Currin's Laughing Nude, Jeff Wall's The Arrest); the merging of photography and film (Gregory Crewdson's Untitled [Teenage Pile], Sam Taylor-Wood's Wrecked); and the intertwining of object-based art with performance (Janine Antoni's Lick and Lather, Zhang Huan's To Add One Meter to an Unknown Mountain).
The exhibition also features five key artists whose work the Logans have collected in depth: Katharina Fritsch, Robert Gober, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Damien Hirst and Murakami. Among the works of German sculptor Fritsch are life-size sculptures of "bad men," stereotypical characters in the form of a monk, an art dealer and a doctor. Gober's sculptures encompass realistic depictions of a disembodied leg, and objects that have their sources in plumbing fixtures such as urinals or a drain. Among the works of Gonzalez-Torres, who died in 1995, are photographic jigsaw puzzles reproducing fragments of love letters written between him and his long-term partner. A painting incorporating actual butterflies by Hirst, founding member of the "Young British Artists" movement that emerged in London in the early 1990s, can be seen along with Philip (The Twelve Disciples), a bull's head in formaldehyde that is a contemporary vanitas, or meditation on life and death. Murakami uses Japanese pop culture, specifically comics and animation, as points of departure for his work.
Based in Vail, Colorado, Vicki and Kent Logan began collecting in 1993 and are among the nation's most active collectors of contemporary art. In 2002 the Logans built a large gallery space in Vail to house their collection, which currently numbers over 800 pieces. In 1997 the Logans donated 250 works of art from their collection to SFMOMA, a gift that has grown by over 100 works since then. SUPERNOVA, the largest show in an ongoing series of exhibitions devoted to their collection, is comprised of selections from this seminal gift along with works acquired by the Logans since 1997. An accompanying 184-page illustrated catalogue with essays by Grynsztejn, Dan Cameron, Amada Cruz, Jessica Morgan, Ralph Rugoff and Katy Siegel, and entries by SFMOMA curatorial associates Clara Kim and Tara McDowell, is available for $50 in the MuseumStore.
