The Best (Craziest, Creepiest) Baby Shower Cakes Ever!Ceridwen Morris
The miracle of life. Or, the miracle of marzipan?
I don't bake myself but as a lover of the arts I find the hyper-real/wax-museum/Duane Hanson cake-sculpting trend very intriguing. (In fact, this Duane Hanson sculpture would make a great–if a little foreboding– baby shower cake.)
A friend made the most amazing engorged breasts cake for my shower. It was very funny and tasty with all kinds of ganaches and fondants involved. Recently some ambitious foodie people I know made a flip-flop cake for their six year-old's birthday. They– like all the other crazy bakers I know– said, "it's actually really easy."
Giving birth looks easier to me than this:
But here's one I could probably handle baking and it's so elegant!
And did you know about DIAPER CAKES?
I had no idea! I am so sheltered! Judging from the endless how-to videos on you tube, this is a huge trend. Basically, you make a decorative cake out of diapers. Not edible. This one uses 56 diapers! I hope the diapers can be saved and used, that's a lot of diaper for decor alone. I don't know. Having just potty trained my youngest and ended six years of diaper buying, changing and disposal, I have very little affection for the things.
I'd rather eat a marzipan baby or slice into a big ganache belly.

Hilary Mantel
Fourth Estate, $32.99
Fans of Hilary Mantel's 2009 Man Booker Prize winner, Wolf Hall, will be pleased to learn that its much-anticipated sequel is every bit as intriguing, engrossing and brilliantly written - despite comprising significantly fewer pages.
This second instalment of a planned trilogy about Henry VIII's England from the perspective of his chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, picks up where Wolf Hall left off: Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon has been annulled and Anne Boleyn is his new queen, but already the king's roving eye has fallen on another, Jane Seymour.
Bring Up the Bodies follows Anne's downfall and Jane's advancement to become Henry's third wife, but is focused on Cromwell as mastermind of these intense, far-reaching - even deadly - personal and political manoeuvrings at court. It becomes apparent that Cromwell, though ever diligent in fulfilling his king's wishes, has personal motivations influencing the manner in which he resolves Henry's latest marital problems. There are new allegiances to make and old scores to settle.
Delving deep into the very plausible psychology of a familiar historical saga is fundamental to this novel being so fresh. It's not about discovering that Anne will be executed and Jane become queen, but the labyrinthine journey towards these outcomes, populated by nuanced characters who come alive on the page rather than one-dimensional historical figures. They are very human, full of doubts, ambition, desire, resentment and, sometimes, a little mercy.
Mantel's Cromwell, a brilliant, driven, morally ambiguous man of humble origins, is as complex as any character in contemporary literature. Despite his historical reputation for ruthlessness, this Cromwell is likely to elicit considerable admiration and sympathy from readers. He is still ruthless, but we are given insights as to why, to what degree and how it's in contrast to his more gentle traits - according to the author's well-informed imaginings at any rate; there is no documentation revealing the real Cromwell's inner life, though if there were, it's fairly certain the meticulous Mantel would have read them.
The world she conjures is rich with historical detail, but it is so effortlessly done, so restrained, that it's as if these events took place yesterday, not five centuries ago.
The dialogue is particularly effective in creating a sense of verisimilitude. There's no ''thee'' and ''thou'' nonsense, just a courtly formality at appropriate moments and smatterings of archaic yet evocative slang (especially sexual terms) at others, all seamlessly massaged into the language of modernity.
Unfortunately, Mantel maintains her artful penchant for pronouns over the clarity of names, especially when referring to Cromwell. This adds unnecessary complexity to an already demanding story (even Cromwell has a chart to keep track of all the players, while we are provided with a list. This is invaluable as many characters are interchangeably referred to by their titles of office, titles of nobility, nicknames, given names and family relationships).
Occasionally one might read a paragraph, even an entire page, thinking one person is speaking or acting, only to realise ''he'' is someone else entirely. Unlike in Wolf Hall, Mantel sometimes makes concessions to clarity by adding ''he, Cromwell'' to ambiguous pronoun references, which seems rather clumsy.
This is undoubtedly a challenging read, especially for those only vaguely familiar with the historic inspiration or who have not read Wolf Hall. That said, this could be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel.
The rewards are great, however, both for history buffs and those who love bloody political thrillers.

The expert group chaired by Kirit Parikh has submitted its recommendations to the government on pricing methodology for the Indian downstream industry.
The term of reference of the expert group was spelt out, quite narrowly, toa) review the current pricing methodology of petroleum products and recommend alternate mechanism benchmarked to Export Price Parity (EPP); b) suggest a formula to compensate oil manufacturing companies (OMCs) for under-recoveries; and c) propose measures for operating efficiencies. Before finalising their report, the expert group considered representations made by leading refiners, PSUs and private, and concerned stakeholders/industry bodies.
The expert groups multi-pronged recommendations underscore the need for complete decontrol of petroleum products prices, i.e., prices of diesel, PDS kerosene and LPG, as the only viable option in the long-term. The current recommendations offer only a limited interim solution, at best a bandage to the alarming impact of the petroleum subsidies that are debilitating the oil and gas sector, both upstream and downstream. The three important recommendations include immediate upward step up in prices for the controlled petroleum products to partially bridge the gap, provide a specific cap on the subsidy that will be borne by the petroleum sector, and continuity of the prevailing pricing formulae on the assumption that minor amends would not fix the subsidy problem which requires eventual decontrol of prices.
The immediate impact that the recommendations seek are increase of diesel price (by R5/l) and subsidised LPG price (by R250 per cylinder) to address increased subsidy burden on these products which have risen since May 2013 on the back of volatile crude price and a depreciating rupee (vis-à-vis global currencies); it has also made a proposal to cap cash subsidies on diesel to R6/litre.
The journey of petroleum sector reforms dates back to the late-1990s with the initial roadmap provided for time-bound dismantling of the administrated price mechanism which had been established in the mid-1970s. This was popularly termed The R Committee and was headed by Vijay Kelkar. The delay in the implementation of the reforms, and in some cases, partial implementation, has caused significant distortions, and led to several expert groups to try and address the growing problems.
The committee on pricing and taxation of petroleum products led by C Rangrajan in 2006 correctly incorporated the need for taxation reforms as essential to deal with the migration of the sector to market-based pricingthese have only been partially followed, and today

how awful tinker you will calm down eventually even though you think you have been spoilt forever
how awful tinker you will calm down eventually even though you think you have been spoilt forever
oh goodness, not good at all! I would definitely be making a formal complaint.
I'm going to go to the end of this nightmare and then give a few highlights .
Sunday evening ... met Think Tink and her lovely daughters . Cindy turns into this sweet person that I had remembered four years earlier . Jumps in the seat next to her . Ok, no biggie !!! Saw Chef Kim and got a big bearly hug . Before this Cindy had this gross stained tank top on and I told her , look , I'm meeting a moderator from our Disney boards . We either go back to the resort and YOU change or you buy something or do not go with me . She did buy a top and I swear she showered once the whole time we were there . She smelled like stale cigarettes , and a combination of deordent and old BO and her breath . I won't even go there . I found a trial bottle of perfume in the Poly store and sprayed her . She yelled she was allergic . I said like I am to that nasty cigarette smoke .
At dinner , I wanted to have a drink, when I realized my wallet was gone ... all my money everything . I remembered giving Christian some trading pins as this child had nothing and was bought nothing . I excused myself and went to the front desk , where I was told fill out a lost & found card thats the best we can do . I literally sat in a sofa at the Poly lobby and started to cry . It had finally caught up to me . I felt someone touch my hand . I looked up to the cutest angel, his name was Adam . He said, sweet lady, why are you so sad . I explained , long story short , he had my wallet within 15 minutes with a warm washcloth . He said, this is what makes my job worth it . He was my guardian angel, I swear . I went to the bathroom and used that nice warm washcloth to clean my tears and freshen up .
When I got back to the dinner table , I was holding my wallet up and TT yelled YaY !!! Cindy grabs it out of my hand and I mean grabbed it and said, Now , you do not get it until we leave !!! I thought she was joking , but I found out she was very serious . I told her I wanted money for a drink and she told me I did not need one . I ate and enjoyed the meal while keeping my cool .
We went over to MK and she was by the speedway having a smoke . I told her while the kids are riding I wanted money to buy a pin for our exchange . Can you believe she gave me a hard time and once I tried handing my wallet back to her she rudely grabbed it again and said Go, Before I Change My Mind ! I was never so embarassed in all my life . Especially right in front of TT . Once I returned , TT was on Astro Orbitor with the kids and all I'm going to say is I ripped into her like no other . I asked her who the harry she thought she was . The ending was I found TT , apologized, excused myself and went off on my own .
I returned at 3 AM and Cindy had packed up and left . I guess the Truth hurt and I really don't think , she thought I had it in me to tell her right where to go .
But after she left , I realized that she took my two day hopper with no exp that was given too me by the manager of Pop and all 6 Golden fast passes .
The next day I went tro DME to register my bag . When the tag came through for my bag , it read MCO . But I was in FL . More stress . Apparently with being sick and all my tests , I had ordered the wrong tickets . But I sent it to Marie for her to printout since my printer is broken and she did not even catch my mistake . Not blaming her as I had done it , but I truly wish she had noticed as I got charged another $170. to just get home .
Along the way with Air Tran , I was hung up on , told I couldn't pay my change over the phone , told by the supervisor since I didn't officially have my CC and just the number at the airport... that I wasn't going home as I wouldn't have it the next day either . That there was only one more flight leaving Orlando that afternoon to Allentown and by the time Jim would call Air Tran , it would be too late and the plane gone . As she walked away I said to Melissa in tears , but I am Deborah Kieffer and this is my number . Taking everything from my wallet with my name on it . She said, wait , shhhhh, put the number in , handed me a ticket and a note that said Have A Good Flight and Better Days to Come . God Bless !!! I would never recommend anyone use Air Tran .
It truly was a nightmare trip from you know where .
I just don't know what to say but you're home now and with friends ok?

Proving he has definitely made it in the Hollywood world, Ben Stiller was on hand to cement his hand and foot prints into the Tinseltown streets on Tuesday (December 3).
The iconic moment took place at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA while the "Meet the Parents" star's wife and two children were on hand for loving support.
After his recent red carpet rant, Mark Wahlberg decided to clear the air regarding rumors that his harsh words were directed towards fellow actor Tom Cruise.
He's never been one to hold his tongue, and Mark Wahlberg was enraged when he heard Tom Cruise compare his acting career to that of a soldier at war.
During his deposition in his lawsuit against a tabloid, Tom Cruise revealed a very important piece of information from his divorce with Katie Holmes.
The "Top Gun" actor is battling the publication after claims that he abandoned his daughter Suri Cruise, suing the mag for $50 million.
Outraged at claims by In Touch magazine that he "abandoned" Suri after his divorce, Tom Cruise opened up about their relationship in a deposition filed as part of his $50 million lawsuit against the publisher.
During the interrogation, the "Mission Impossible" star was asked by Bauer Publishing attorneys to admit that he didn't see his daughter for over 100 days from August 4, 2012 until Thanksgiving.
He's generally kept his personal life out of the public eye, but a harsh criticism from Life & Style and In Touch magazines forced Tom Cruise to open up about his relationship with his daughter in a lawsuit.
Hoping to generate buzz for their new movie, Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt spoke at a preview of "Edge of Tomorrow" at Comic-Con 2013 in San Diego on Saturday (July 20).
Sitting at the panel in front of legions of eager fans, the "Mission Impossible" star wore a long-sleeved navy shirt and black jeans, while his lovely co-star sported a pretty pink and blue sleeveless dress.
He's a giant in the entertainment field, so when Tom Cruise surprised the students at the Joanne Baron/D.W. Brown Studio with a graduation speech, everyone was thrilled.
The "Minority Report" hunk delivered a sincere address and encouraged the graduates as they prepared for the career field ahead.

By Officer Natalie Hall, CPD
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – On May 1, 2014, the Clarksville Police Department has named Marla Bonner Dispatch Director. She replaced Hope Petersen, who accepted the Supervisor Position at the Robertson County 911 Center.
The Dispatch Director position plays a vital role in the emergency response process. This position ensures that all dispatchers are prepared to route emergency calls to Clarksville's emergency Fire and Law Enforcement agencies efficiently. Dispatchers, also, collect necessary information to properly prepare the responding agency when dispatched to an incident.
Marla Bonner's Bio:
Marla Bonner is originally from Hannibal, MO. She has two children, Niesha Bonner and Kevin Bonner II, and one granddaughter, Amya "Mya" Coates. She worked as an E-911 Operator for Marion County, MO for five years. She took a four year hiatus from dispatch and moved to Georgia. She, later, moved to Clarksville, TN, due to her ex-husband being stationed at Fort Campbell, KY.
When the city of Clarksville decided to have its own dedicated dispatchers, she was one of the first groups of employees hired. She began working with the Clarksville Police Department on January 1st, 2004. She was promoted to a shift supervisor in May of 2004. When the Clarksville Police Department began working on its accreditation, she was named the Dispatch Training Coordinator. She assisted in developing the current training program for dispatch, as well as, the Standing Operation Procedures.
Candidate Selection Process:
Each candidate for the Dispatch Director, first, had an interview with an Oral Board. The Oral Board included Fire Chief Michael Roberts- Clarksville Fire Department, Captain Lisa Baker- Metro Nashville Emergency Communications Center, and Captain Richard Stalder- Clarksville Police Department. The Oral Board selected six out of the eleven candidates to interview with Chief Al Ansley of the Clarksville Police Department. With the combination of Ms. Bonner's background, experience, and the interview process, Chief Ansley selected Ms. Bonner as the Dispatch Director.

We're on a train
Actually, something of a feat. Today's main business is going to Manchester, but we haven't got there yet. Aberdeen to Edinburgh was fine, but we then picked up the Transpennine at Edinburgh, and it ran into trouble almost immediately because of the high winds, and crawled down Anandale at 50 mph. Just outside Lockerbie we were told we were going no further because trees had fallen across the line and brought down the overehead cables. Also, we couldn't go back because the Glasgow train had hit another fallen tree at 140 mph, though it hadn't actually derailed. Allegedly there were going to be buses from Lockerbie to Carlisle. At 4, which of course is is when all buses for miles will be booked for the local school run. We promptly legged it, and went to look for for a cab. Do not go to Lockerbie. It must've been a one horse town once, but they ate the horse. We teamed up with a nice boy called John from Preston, who had also ben quick to recognise the complete hopelessness of the situation, the Professor talked perhaps the stupidest cab driver I have ever encountered, a man like a strange fungous growth in a blue t shirt, into taking us to Annan, since he wouldn't take us to Carlisle. At Annan (also not recommended, land that time forgot) we got someone else to take us to Carlisle, after a curious episode where the fungus, having been asked to take us to a cab rank, left us outside a pub where it turned out a fight was just starting (it seemed to be the local championship of 'you lookin' at me in a funny way, pal?' into which someone with short grey hair, a posh accent and a Barbour worn over cashmere jumper and corduroys was, to say absolutely the least of it, otiose). In the end a nice chap with dyed blonde hair who talked a mile a minute was located, and obliged with a ride. At Carlisle Station, there seemed to be some trains going South, and we got on one: nothing happened for half an hour but then the Glasgow train limped in looking as if someone had punched it in the face, and once the Weegies had loaded themselves on, we took off at last. We are unfortunately going to Preston not Manchester, but that is a mere detail which will be sorted out later. We are now at Penrith. This particular train was apparently due at Euston twenty minutes ago, and the conductor has announced that since it isn't on any kind of a schedule he will work it out as he goes along.
Our last conductor of the day, who was quite keen to know what was going on ('you'd think war had broken out') said that at one point in the afternoon, Scotland had been declared shut. No operable rail links, the bridges were shut, and so were the airports. In case anyone is worrying, we got to Manchester at 8 and had a civilised dinner with Dr Biswell and Mr Wil.

Budget concerns linger
Governor Tom Corbett's proposed 2013-14 budget shows some increases in spending over the budgets of the past two years.
But with 160 line times that used to be in the state budget that are no longer there, those increases do not represent a restoration to previous levels of funding,
That was the message Thursday afternoon from Tony Ross, of the United Way of Pennsylvania, during a town hall style meeting and panel discussion held in Montrose.
Representatives from local service agencies and area school districts gathered to discuss the potential impacts of the proposed state budget and the federal sequestration to their agencies.
Pete Tartline of the Governor's Budget Office presented an overview of the proposed state budget, highlighting initiatives and proposed increases to certain programs.
Tartline said the governor's 2013-14 budget included increases in public education and human services programs for the elderly and disabled.
Ross said the governor's proposal amounted to only the beginning of the budget process and was not necessarily what would be adopted in June.
Ross also spoke about the potential $300 million impact sequestration will have in the state to Title I, WIC and early intervention programs.
Panelists Carla Mitchell of NEPA Community Health, Erin Griguts of Headstart, and Robert McTiernan, superintendent of Blue Ridge School District also spoke about the state and federal budget impacts.
Mitchell said that as a federally qualified health center, NEPA Community Health provides care to medically underserved areas and persons. NEPA Community Health Centers do not operate as a free clinic. Customers are expected to pay what they can afford for services, Mitchell explained. For example, if a medical test costs $100 and a person can only afford to pay $25, they are charged that $25 and the remainder of the cost is reimbursed as a Federally Qualified Health Center.
As a not for profit, the center also receives some funding from the United Way.
Mitchell advocated for the state to accept the Affordable Care Act to enable the expansion of Medicaid services.
"People do access services when they can't afford care," she said. "This would give them access to preventative care and bring more people in to receive health care."
She said the agency is planning for a four to five percent sequestration budget cut. With 30 percent of the budget coming from federal dollars, Mitchell said she did not expect a five percent cut of 30 percent to be "catastrophic."
Headstart's Gringuts said sequestration would keep about 70 children from being able to attend the early learning education program.
But on the state budget side, she said the agency was pleased with the governor's proposed budget increases.
Gringuts highlighted Headstart's evolution from an early learning program to its current family-services work in addition to the education program.
Gringuts advocated for an expansion of the Pre-K Counts program in Susquehanna County. While Headstart limits its enrollment to children whose families fall below the poverty level, Pre-K Counts allows for enrollment of children with families at 300 percent of the poverty level.
As the superintendent of a rural school district, McTiernan spoke to issues that impact the school's budget including the cost of health care and pensions and the cyber-charter school funding formula.
McTiernan said the budget increase to basic education was an increase only on paper.
He said Blue Ridge has had to offset a $68,000 loss of stimulus money over the past two years; and with other cuts, the district is down over $100,000.
McTiernan called for a change to the cyber-charter school subsidy formula. He said he was concerned that the money spent by school district taxpayers for the cyber schools was not actually reflective of the cost of those students' education.
The superintendent said that generally public schools out perform cyber-charters in every area. "Children enroll in cyber-charter schools, and we get the bill," he said.
McTiernan also said that funding for special education had been flat for the past six years but contractual obligations increased over those years.
He said Blue Ridge has worked to being programs it was outsourcing back to the district.
Over the past two years, cuts in Blue Ridge have had little direct impact on programs for students. But sequestration, McTiernan warned would cut money from the budget that could not be made up with a tax increase without going to the voters.
"Going forward it will impact students," McTiernan said with increase class sizes and other cuts to programs.
During his presentation, Tartline reviewed Pennsylvania's revenue streams and budget allocations. Over half of the state budget goes to fund basic education (34 percent) and medical assistance (22 percent).
He also spoke about Governor Corbett's Passport for Learning initiative – a prospective, one-time windfall stemming from the privatization of the state liquor system.
Passport for Learning dollars could be used in four areas: school safety, early learning programs, individualized learning programs and STEM programs.
The sale of the liquor system would also end the "contradiction" of the state being both the regulator and enforcer of liquor laws but also the marketer of liquor.
McTiernan said he would was concerned about a one-time revenue infusion but would "welcome the dollars" for infrastructure improvements used for school security.
"I would hesitate to hire people with that money," he said.
Tartline also addressed the need for pension reform in the state. With about $41 billion in unfunded liabilities in the two state pension systems and rising year over year costs, he highlighted benefits of moving from a defined benefit plan for newly hired workers to a defined contribution plan for new state employees.
He said that move could result in a savings of $175 for the state and $138 million for school districts.

As the Scout motto goes: "be prepared", and your finances are no exception. No matter your financial position, these tests can help you feel more financially confident, or help you find the flaws. (Make it to the end of the month, before you run out of money. To learn more, check out The Beauty Of Budgeting.)
IN PICTURES: Top 6 Uses For Bonds
Simulate a Job Loss
It might sound silly to pretend like you're jobless when you're going to the office every day, but simulating that dreaded financial event can help you feel more confident and prepared for it if the day ever comes (knock on wood!).
Imagine you have a $0 income. Now work out an emergency budget from there with a list of temporary cuts to get you through the interim.
If you have some emergency savings for this test, don't take them into account because life rarely goes as planned and you may not have an emergency fund for whatever the reason if the time that you actually need them comes. (For more tips, check out Planning For Job Loss.)
Some actions on your list might include:
- Cancel your cable TV package down to basic cable, or get rid of it completely
- Go on a lower-cost cell phone plan
- List low-cost but nutritious recipes on hand (oatmeal, beans and cutting out meat can be big budget savers)
- Gather up items to sell (but don't regret your de-cluttering!)
- Drive less, switch to public transportation or walk
- List out all the free activities you can do, such as go to the park, bike, go for walks
Once you have the plan in place, try out as many items as possible such as taking public transportation for a month or cooking those low-cost but nutritious recipes.
These are all decisions you have to consider and at the end of it, you should feel like you have a solid list of tried and true cutbacks to call upon in times of need, but if you don't test what you've put down on paper, you'll never know if it's doable.
For example, what if you lose your job and then suddenly realize that taking public transportation will add four hours of commuting each day? Would you rather do that, or cancel your cable TV subscription to pay for gas?
These are all great questions to ask, so you can rank each of the cutbacks and be aware of what the change will be. (Already unemployed? Don't miss 4 Steps To Surviving A Job Loss.)
Live On One Income
If you earn two incomes but only live on one and save the other, it can be a fast way to build a substantial emergency fund.
If your net incomes are in the same ballpark, then add up the two net incomes and split it in half. If one partner is earning far more than the other, then take the lower income for this test, because it could end up being all you have to work with. (Find out the financial advantages and disadvantages of dual incomes in Marriage: For Richer Or Poorer?)
List out last month's budget expenses (or keep track of two to three months and use an average) so you have an idea of what you are currently spending. Now scrutinize each category; cut back until the budget balances to $0, or as close to $0 as possible. If you balance to $0, you're done. If you have a deficit, make a list of jobs and things you can do to make up for the amount.
At the end of the exercise, you may end up pleasantly surprised, because you may end up realizing that it could be a part of your permanent financial plan! You should have a budget that is either balanced or in the red. Now you can go into this budget and know exactly how much you need to pick up the slack if anything happens.
As a side note, the job you take in the interim may not even cover your expenses, but every little bit helps and you don't have to put it on your resume.
IN PICTURES: 7 Tips To Bounce Back From A Credit Score Disaster
Test your Emergency Fund Periodically
As a litmus test for financial reality, you can try living on your emergency fund's budget once in a while. It's easy: live on the budget you've laid out as your emergency fund. This is different from your job loss budget because it's now testing the budget amounts and seeing if they are realistic and if you've saved for as many months as you've imagined.
When I first started budgeting, I thought what I had saved was enough to cover all of my basic expenses, but when I gave my Emergency Fund Budget a shot, it ended up being totally unrealistic, so I revised it. (Learn more in Why You Absolutely Need An Emergency Fund.)
The Bottom Line
No one likes to think anything bad could happen but things we cannot control happen every day, and all you can do is be prepared.

The French Connection: The Origins of the '60s French Beat Scene
(reedited and corrected from a May 2002 article in "the Lance Monthly on the net") by Astro le Mocker
Parody and satire are vital elements in the creation of French rock ever since Boris Vian said the only way to adapt it in the French culture is to treat it as a joke, doing it the comic way. In my opinion, this highly intellectual affirmation has plagued French rock ever since!
The first French rock'n'roll record was made in 1956 by a bunch of jazzmen : An EP by Henry Cording (... En "Recording", get it?) and his Original Rock and Roll Boys; a great parody, it was done by jazz creole singer Henri Salvador (who co-founded the Bossa Nova sound in the late fifties...) with songs like "Rock'n'Roll Mops" and "Rock Hoquet", they were arranged by the famous French jazzman and soundtrack composer Michel Legrand. It's only natural 'cause R'n'R was for a long time considered a Jazz hybrid in that music circle before French teens were even aware of it, and it was played in cellar clubs around Paris and in the chic holiday resorts by jazz orchestras as a new dance craze alongside the Cha-Cha-Cha or the Mambo. That EP concept was created by Boris Vian, a famous Jazz-Hot trumpeter himself and the Cult existentialist writer-friend of philospher and movement leader Jean Paul Sartre. The existentialists, by the way, were the original inspiration behind the Beatnik movement.
Since then, the French rockers were always handicapped by the pseudo intellectual dictat here that forced them to treat it with irony and sing deliberate campy lyrics, as opposed to beltin' out straight-forward Rock'n'roll. Because of the French street "chansons'" tradition of always putting more emphasis on texts rather than on the music itself (meaning it has to be intelligent and "thinked upon") this custom has prevented music in general from coming straight from the heart as an impulse. This is directly opposed to what R'n'R is all about in the first place! We all know that R'n'R is more of a mixture of energy and feeling . . . a kind of brut expression of the heart, right?!
Actually, the first genuine, French rock record was released in 1958: "D'où viens-tu Billie Boy?" a 45 sung by one, Claude Piron, then covered by Richard Anthony and especially by Danyel Gérard, the first potential rocker before he was drafted into the army. By the time he was released from the Service, the dreadful Johnny Halliday had taken his place as the French king of Rock (king of French Rednecks is more like it! ) sometime at the tail end of '59 and launched the "rock-twist" movement of bands, the local equivalent of the skiffle craze in Britain six years prior, before fronting the "YéYé" phenomenon in France (YéYé is the French contraction of the word "Yeah!"). When French teenagers began listening to American rock records, "Yeah!" is probably the only word they could identify with besides "Baby." (The language they sing while imitating the American dialect is called "Yaourt (Yoghurt!)" here). Anyway, Johnny Halliday is/was a strange mix of James Dean and Elvis' aping. He is the first teen idol in France (... looked a lot like Eddie Cochran, actually! ) who turned out to be the French equivalent to Tom Jones in the end, with his powerful voice and better looks. Unfortunately, most of Halliday's songs were French adaptations of American and British hits with no originality and, in my opinion, he's an embarrassment to every true French rock fan.
When it comes to real rock'n'roll, in the Garage-rock and " Freak-Beat" sense, the first real contender was Ronnie Bird [his picture, in negative, adorns the top cover of the CD comp. of French Beat: "Rock En France - 1965/67" edited by LCD (#26-2), which is the label of Jacques Leblanc, chief staff writer for the French retro music magazine, "Juke Box"]. Ronnie Bird covered the Stones, Turtles, Them and British Beat songs in the general, he made his start around '63/'64. The first to separate himself from the YéYé mainstream patronned by the French government, he championed the real ostracized rockers (or "mockers") British style, in a TV interview. Long Live Patron Saint Ronnie!
(Ronnie was actually very fluent in English too; view a rare TV appearance for his last sixties single : "Sad Soul" here... http://www.ina.fr/art-et-culture/musique/video/I05349185/ronnie-bird-sad-soul.fr.html)
Then came Antoine, the French Donovan backed by his Problèmes which started out as real garage-band inspired by British R'n'R in 1965, releasing two "garage" classic EPs before joining Antoine as a beat parody for a national yearly tour in 1966. Together, they released a good beat-protest LP with a few true 60's punk classics. Later on the Problèmes turned completely satirical as Les Charlots, a forerunner to the Rutles with their comic 1967 French cover of "Hey Joe" as "Hey Max!" and onwards into the early seventies as a total parody group in several campy films.
But, the first genuine French rock star is Jacques Dutronc with his hard punk guitar riffin' and heavily satiric lyrics written by writer-reporter, Jacques Lanzmann; a true stroke of genius this pair was, defining the French beat genre: hard fuzz guitar accompanying killer intelligent novelty lyrics, satirizing the ways and habits of modern society. This combination has never been topped since! Dutronc was an obscure session guitarist who first started as lead guitar briefly in a rock-twist band called "El Toro & les Cyclones!" His trio of first LPs are musts in any collection, including a few more singles and EPs up to 1970!
There were other genuine pop singers not in the YeYe vein like Erick St. Laurent, who made a cool cover of "Friday on my mind," and Noël Deschamps (in the soul R&B style not unlike the more famous Nino Ferrer), an exceptional organ player with his numerous novelty singles dipped into Southern Soul.
Still, there were authentic beat groups in the French suburbs in the wake of the Stones and the Beatles. For me, the best and foremost, on a world class par with other freakbeats such as the Motions (Holland), Los Salvajes (Spain), the Carnabeats (Japan), the Shakers (Uruguay), Twilights (Austria), Standells (U.S.), Blue Birds (Greece)... are Les Boots (not to be confused with German Boots)! They started out as a folk-rock band called Les Trèfles who put out a competent EP with only originals (a real threat in France!). Later, the band released two classic EPs as Les Boots, mixin' punk, R&B anthems ("Laissez Briller le Soleil," and "Twen") with folk-rock ballads ("Vingt ans," and "Demain") and one psychedelic ("Ali Baba" ) again, all originals! They finished their short career by backing pop singer Gilbert Safrani on a final EP with a French cover of the Kinks' "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" and at least one French 60's punk killer, "Les Gens s' en Vont Dans le Ciel." A fifth EP was recorded but never released including a beautiful French cover of "Strawberry Fields Forever." You can hear all this including unreleased songs in the excellent CD put out by "Juke Box" magazine, "Les Boots - Tout va Bien" on LCD #18-2 which is a must if you want to discover what French beat is all about and if you like 60's music as a whole!
Les Boots were right in the middle of the Paris swingin' scene of the mid-sixties led by the French "Minets" who hung around the drugstore Publicis on top of the Champs Elysées ("minets" are the French equivalent to British mods except they were from upper middle class backgrounds as opposed to the working class in Britain). These dandies from the rich suburbs dressed themselves in Renoma and Cacharel Pop' Op' clothes, had their hair cut like British pop stars and danced at the Bus Palladium, Chez Castel or La Locomotive (Paris club equivalents to the Scotch St. James, the Cromwellian or Tiles in London! ) from dark 'til dawn. A film on the very subject, "La Bande du Drugstore" was released in French cinemas with a musical score including "Light Bulb Blues" by cult US garage-band the Shadows of Knight! (unbelievable for the current French mainstream!) . . . and they hated "YéYés!" Starting underground around '64, several news flashes reported them on film as a new youth phenomenon in '66 (roughly the same pattern as for mods by a couple years without the riots).
Of course there were numerous others, like Les Lionceaux who were the first to sport long hair and play British Beat, covering the Kinks ("Le Jour et la Nuit (All Day and All of the Night)") and Martha and the Vandellas ("Mon Obsession (Nowhere To Run)"). And Les Gypsys who had a single out on Relax (the same Dutch label that put out the mighty "Outsiders") with two originals in the Sorrows vein of r'n'beat of which "Prolétaire" is truly an anthem for all the long haired French social outcasts we now call 60's punks. The wicked picture sleeve of their 45 can be seen as the cover of "Juke Box" mag' s CD, "Génération Perdue" (an extended version of the first French garage-beat compilation issued on vinyl 19 years ago, now with four unreleased track covers by Les Gypsys). All these CDs can easily be ordered on their site: http://www.jukeboxmag.com
(Serge Doudou, guitar player for Les Gypsys, still occasionally gives private guitar lessons...) And others still, like The Somethings who were French Pretty Things with even one Viv Stanshall look-a-like and had one single/EP with one total beat punk killer, "Le Monde Infernal", which gave name to one of the better 60's transworld punk comp's : "Infernal World" ("Le Monde Infernal" in English!). Le Bain Didonc, who started out as French beat parody, Les Pitles (phonetically les Beatles... dig?), also released an EP with one absolute, world class freak-beat killer, "4 Cheveux Dans le Vent" on vol. 4 of the "Diggin' for gold" comp. series (incidentally, the lyrics to this song are total camp parody that pursue the French tradition; when you don't understand them, it's a total killer song but, nevertheless in reality a joke!).
Les Cinq Gentlemen may be the best French club band from the Riviera with five great EPs and the ORIGINAL version of the folk-punk classic by the Sandals, "Tell us Dylan," in "Dis-nous Dylan" with which they had a minor success on French TV! And one must not bypass Les Goths, freak beat gods who put out two killer singles (with the deadly psychedelic feedbacking "Turn Over" on bootleg comp., "Perfumed garden"http://fuzzine.over-blog.com/article-rock-fran-ais-les-goths-entretien-avec-bruno-frascone-66846020.html) with picture sleeves and an unreleased psychedelic album which was rumored lost when the lead singer vanished in a mystic trip to India, but has just been released a few months ago by Shadocks Music as the LP : "Rêve de Silence" (http://www.green-brain-krautrock.de/LES-GOTHS-REVE-DE-SILENCE-LP-1968-Shadoks_10711.html) . Even one singer, Nicolas Nils, and his backing band, Les Murators, while releasing an EP covering two Seeds songs (!!! ) : "Il Faut Trimer Dur (Pushing too hard )" and "Il Faudra Compter avec Moi (Try to understand)", were incredibly aware for a French band but, bear in mind that the Seeds had actually three EPs out on the French label Vogue Loisirs.
Perhaps you should wait 'til I compile a special French beat LP on Misty Lane's "Basementsville" series for a global picture... ? (Ask: firstname.lastname@example.com). In the meantime, here's a French Beat top ten of killer tunes you should check out for starters in no specific order of greatness:
1) Boots - "Laisser Briller le Soleil" 2) Antoine et les Problèmes - "Dodécaphonie" 3) Les Cinq Gentlemen - "Si Tu Reviens Chez Moi" 4) Jacques Dutronc - "Le responsable" 5) Ronnie Bird - "S.O.S. Mesdemoiselles" 6) Les Bain Didonc - "4 Cheveux Dans le Vent" 7) Les Gypsys - "Prolétaire" 8) Les Somethings - "Le Monde Infernal" 9) Les Goths - "Turn Over" 10) Les Senders - "El Camel / Benjamin - un train" (TIE-IN)
Now it's time to introduce the foremost modern French 60's fanzine, "Juke Box." Interestingly, the mag started out covering genuine material and issuing bonus singles by the Standells or the Seeds, but finished giving equal parts to mainstream "Yeye" singers like Johnny Halliday and other horribly dated, twist-rock bands like Les Chaussettes Noires and even MOR singers like Dalida (Urgh!). It feels weird reading about a thoroughly interesting anecdotic story on the Pretty Things' lead singer, Phil May's hairy misadventure in a Paris café during the sixties, or the complete story of the U.S. "Hullabaloo" TV show, while embarrassingly bypassing the pages containing the analysis of Disco star, Cerrone's body of work. Or handling a cover sporting some other terrible square French PAP (muzak or ersatz Pop...) singer's mug, for example. Well, Johnny Halliday being sadly an institution deep in the heart of France, I guess they know where their money is! Still, this is very schizophrenic. Nevertheless, they put out cool looking CDs like the "Festival '67 - Live in Paris" featuring the historical live soundtrack of the first international Pop music fest' in Paris with the likes of the Troggs, Pretty Things, VIP's, DDDBM&T, Ronnie Bird, Jimmy Cliff (The Tomorrow played at the show too but, sadly their tape was lost!) and others like the "Nowhere Men" comp. series.
Another mag of note is "Le Club des Années 60" which is even more obscure on the group facts related within, while still retaining that "yeye/ twist" element. Sadly, I don't have their contact right now but I may get it and provide more information on here next time. http://club-annees-60.blogs.fr/
And lastly, I recommend the only true rock book written on the French scene (in this case, the local Alsace scene on the German/ Suisse border, even extending to beat bands across that neighboring border) tracking the R'n'R phenomenon from the primitive twist-rock days through British style beat, up to hippie acid daze: "Le Temps des Copains - Rock Twist Alsace Années 60" Ed. la Nuée Bleue 1996" with a free soundscape CD! An essential and fascinating read (If you can read French, that is! ) with lots of great pics if you are interested in such an exotic scene. (You can try Wolgang Völkel's mailing list to order a copy: email@example.com)
Well until next time, that's all for now, sixties freaks . . .

Hauling Toto Big, 1997, 46 min
Robert Nelson, (1930–2012)
Awarded Best of the Festival 36th AAFF (1998)
"In the mid 1990s, Nelson started assembling this film from a large stack of b/w footage he had kept from sketches, unfinished projects, class assignments, outtakes, and other assorted remnants, informed by jazz music, poetry, and the I Ching in its construction. A dense and ecstatic work of fragmented narratives, dream states, chaos and serenity, verité footage rendered into poetry, this is Nelson's most recently completed film to-date, and a culmination of his cinematic interests. Hauling Toto Big is a dense and ecstatic work of fragmented narratives, dream states, chaos and serenity… a culmination of Nelson's cinematic interests." –Mark Toscano

Today marks the anniversary of two significant events. The first is that 134 years ago, Congress created the Department of Justice. Apparently the Department was founded because private attorneys hired to handle the increased litigation following the Civil War were becoming too costly. Even in 1870, lawyers were too expensive.
Later, as crime began to cross county and state lines, the FBI was established. Soon, the gangster era demanded a federal force that could track bank robbers, bootleggers, and violent criminals crossing state lines to evade capture.
A great deal has changed since then, but there is also much that remains the same. It is in the context of this juncture of old and new that I want to discuss today's changing threat, our new mission, and the future of the FBI.
Technology and travel have made the world smaller than ever. Criminal activity not only crosses state lines, it traverses international boundaries at the stroke of a computer key. Crime is more diverse than ever before. It includes terrorism, corporate fraud, illegal weapons trade, and the trafficking of human beings.
And there is a growing convergence of these threats both old and new. We see organized crime laundering money for drug groups. Drug groups selling weapons to terrorists. Terrorists committing white-collar fraud to raise money for their operations.
Today's threat is increasingly asymmetrical and complex. During the Cold War, the United States had in the Soviet Union a relatively predictable enemy which it fought in relatively predictable ways. Like chess, it was complicated, but there were only two sides and a limited number of moves available to each. Now, the dynamic more closely resembles the latest computer game than an old-fashioned chess game.
The international threat of criminal and terrorist organizations is the product of the modern world in which we live. Today, terrorists and criminals use sophisticated business practices to achieve their goals, not unlike that of legitimate multinational corporations.
This is how Al Qaeda functioned before 9/11. Since then, they have shown an ability to evolve. Today their control is more fragmented. Al Qaeda is working with other independent groups and individuals sympathetic to their cause. And they are recruiting outside the Middle East to find individuals who will easily blend with the American population as well as those who are disenfranchised within the United States.
In the war against terrorism one cannot help but be struck by the dichotomy of old and new airplanes used as weapons, plastic explosives hidden in donkey carts, and videotaped beheadings posted on the Internet. Terrorists who shun our way of life are more than willing to use our technology to carry out and publicize their attacks. Increasingly, the global community of the Internet is used not only to break down barriers, but also to sustain and nurture centuries-old hatreds.
These are problems as old as human history, and we cannot expect them to be solved overnight. In 1946, George Kennan issued his Long Telegram, urging a strategy of containment against the Soviet Union. He said that it would be longer and tougher than Americans had realized, but that he believed freedom would prevail.
So it is with terrorism. Again, it will be a long and difficult war. However, this time, mere containment will not suffice. We must fight back on multiple fronts, with methods both old and new. We must go after terrorists and stop them before they strike.
With globalization, the ability of nation-states to effectively respond to criminal activity is seriously challenged. To confront this dangerous new landscape, law enforcement must continue to evolve. We in the FBI have already changed to meet these new threats, but more change is needed. Immediately following September 11th, our primary mission became the prevention of terrorist attacks.
As a result, our top three national security priorities are now counterterrorism, counterintelligence and cyber security.
This means every counterterrorism lead is addressed, even if it requires a diversion of resources from other areas. All other programs support this goal either directly or indirectly. Despite the progress we have made by removing the sanctuary of Afghanistan and detaining two-thirds of their leaders, Al Qaeda still has the desire and the means to attack us. This will likely be the case for years to come.
In counterintelligence we are alert to the potential for a foreign power to penetrate the U.S. Intelligence Community and to compromise Critical National Assets. We are also deeply concerned about an agent of a hostile group or nation producing or using weapons of mass destruction.
Furthermore, the players in the espionage game have diversified. The number of countries engaged in espionage against the U.S. has risen since the end of the Cold War. And we are no longer dealing exclusively with intelligence agents. Today the threat can just as easily come from students, business executives, or hackers.
In the cyber area, we continue to see a dramatic rise in computer-related crimes, such as denial of service attacks, and in traditional crimes that have migrated on line, such as identity theft, copyright infringement, and child pornography.
Thanks to our increasingly interconnected world, isolated individuals can now launch attacks costing billions of dollars and impacting millions of people. You may recall the Love Bug from a few years ago developed by a student from the Philippines. By the time the "Love" virus had run its course, millions of systems had been disrupted. Total damages worldwide were estimated at 8 to 10 billion dollars. This trend will increase as criminals discover new ways to exploit the Internet.
The future is sure to bring further challenges. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman called 9/11 a failure of imagination. In the future, we must have the creativity to think of possibilities we have not yet imagined. We must become more flexible, more agile, and more mobile. I envision tomorrow's FBI as a highly-trained, electronically sophisticated, internationally networked organization that has terrorism as its principal target.
To confront tomorrow's threats, we must continue developing our capabilities in intelligence, in technology, and internationally.
The FBI has always used intelligence in pursuing its criminal cases. It is how we fought Nazi spies during World War II, Soviet espionage during the Cold War, and La Cosa Nostra in the seventies and eighties.
While the FBI has always excelled at intelligence-gathering, we need to improve our ability to analyze and share that information. We cannot prevent terrorist attacks without the ability to identify potential terrorists, predict their actions, and neutralize them before they attack.
This is why we are establishing a Directorate of Intelligence within the FBI -- one with broad authority over all intelligence-related functions. This is the next logical step in the current evolution of the FBI's intelligence capability.
This service within a service maintains our commitment to the integration of our law enforcement and intelligence operations. At the same time, it would create direct lines of authority and accountability.
Intelligence is a tool. That tool becomes increasingly important when there are more threats than we can physically pursue. We need an edge to tell us what to investigate. Soon, all counterterrorism cases will be intelligence-driven operations with law enforcement sanctions as an ancillary aspect. Intelligence will be as routine to every FBI Agent as his or her gun and his or her credentials.
Likewise, intelligence analysts will need new tools and capabilities. It does not take long for terrorists to catch on to our technology and to adjust. In the future, it must be upgraded on a continuous basis so that we stay several steps ahead of our enemies.
We will have a fully operational modern information technology infrastructure. One with seamless information sharing that will close the communication gap with our law enforcement partners and the intelligence community. Our overriding goal is to provide the right information, to the right people, at the right time.
In addition to being connected through technology, we need enhanced connections internationally. Indeed, these relationships will be the key to our success. No nation, or agency, can fight crime and terrorism alone.
Since 9/11, our 48 international offices or Legats have become increasingly important to our overall operations. What began strictly as a liaison, now assists our counterparts overseas on joint investigations, intelligence-sharing, and the development of new methods to prevent attacks.
In one recent case, an e-mail contained a threat to bomb the New York subway. Working with our counterparts we were able to trace the message to a Russian address and ask the Federal Security Service and the Interior Ministry to investigate the credibility of the threat. They mobilized their resources and resolved the threat. This is an example of the instantaneous, 24-hour cooperation we now enjoy with our former Cold War adversary.
In the future, the FBI will have offices or Legats in every country with a major impact on the United States. Their resources will include agents, analysts and reports officers who will be instantly connected throughout the world.
U.S. law enforcement will have to be aligned with our counterparts overseas much like our military forces are aligned with their counterparts overseas. Some day, there will likely be an official international anti-terrorism alliance, with a structure similar to NATO -- united partners joined against a common enemy.
To meet the growing international challenge, the FBI will need a truly diverse workforce of individuals who think differently and have different views of the universe. In hiring employees, we will still need those with a background in law enforcement and the military. But we will also need individuals with specialty backgrounds, who understand international law, are fluent in foreign languages, or have a background in intelligence.
We need to bring people from other countries Indonesia or Pakistan -- here to work jointly with the FBI. We need to send FBI Agents to foreign countries to become familiar with other cultures and better understand their people. We have always moved agents around to new postings. In the future, we need agents who are capable of changing countries as easily as they change cities.
Even as the FBI moves forward, it is vital that we preserve the best of an agency with a long and distinguished history. We must continue to serve as guardians of civil liberties operating with full adherence to the Constitution. We must uphold our fundamental values of Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity. With the full measure of our dedication, we in the FBI will preserve these traditions, even as we evolve to meet today's new threats.
The enemies of the United States seek to take full advantage of our technology to attack us. They think they are stealing the best part of the West to use against us. But they do not understand what the best part is. It is not our technology; it is not our weaponry; it is not our wealth.
The best part of America is freedom -- freedom to think, freedom to create, freedom to change. These are the true treasures of this nation. And they are the tools we will use to defeat this enemy.
The threat is real. The stakes are high. We cannot, and we will not fail.

Where clowns hit the right nose for singing - a red one
If like me you've never been in a choir and done the whole dddd, bbbb, gggg, bbbrrrhhh musical warm-up thing, you might sympathise. It's the feeling you get when you're telling an embarrassing story in a noisy crowd and find yourself shouting in an unexpected lull. The music suddenly stopped. My over-zealous burst of song continued while the others fell silent. Cue roars of laughter and amused encouragement from the choir director. But hey – it's clown choir practice so someone's got to do it.
Hallelujah! is a citywide community clown choir starting next February in Draíocht theatre, Dublin. Under the guidance of Veronica Coburn, Draíocht's theatre artist-in-residence 2012/2013, members of the public will come together to form a choir with a focus not just on singing but also on clowning. The first major work will be entitled The M50 Symphony – A Symphony for Human Voice and Car Horn.
A founding member of theatre company Barabbas, Coburn explains that clowning is perfect for a community project because the clown represents the everyman. Apart from the comical circus clown, there is the sad clown, the scary clown, the lonely clown and the rejected one. Consider the jester who points out the faults of the king, allowing him to laugh at his own shortcomings.
Different aesthetic
Clown theatre or red-nose theatre has a different aesthetic to that of circus clowning. "In circus clowning, people might have the impression that you can do anything because you're hidden by the wig, the make-up and the funny shoes. But that's not how the theatre clown works," says Coburn. "The clown is the most honest presentation of the performer on stage. This means that it is a delicate discipline and a scary discipline. There's a great line that says 'If the people don't like the clown, they don't like you'."
For Coburn, the clown is about humanity – historically, clowns have represented the ordinary man or woman and given them a voice at the power table alongside the medicine man or priest. "Many indigenous societies have festivals that are about chaos and anarchy and the conduit for the speech of every man or woman is often the clown," she says.
The red nose is also a powerful tool. The clown can move from comic to tragic, revealing the breadth of human emotion. The classic red nose somehow transforms a person yet emphasises their character. The nose draws us in and allows us to connect with the clown – with her pathos and humour and above all with her humanity.
The clown represents the plurality of existence. "There is a theory that the red nose is round because it symbolises all of life, all of death and everything in between. So clowning doesn't say that we take the nice bits or reject the bad bits, but that we take it all. Above all, the modus operandi of the clown is play. It's about having a laugh despite what the subject matter is."
No shirkers
During clown choir practice we do vocal warm-ups – everyone is enthusiastic and any hesitation is relieved by the openness and skill of musical director Debra Salem. The group is of mixed ability, good-humoured and earnest – there are no shirkers. Only a quarter have sung in a choir. There's a sense of pleasure and achievement when we master the first few lines of Charlie Chaplin's Smile in three parts.
Participants will join for any number of reasons – for an interest in play or in clowning, for a love of song or for a challenge.
Philip Smithers from Rathfarnham is retired. "I wanted to try the choir thing but something more fun, less serious than the average choir, " he says. He's hardly ever sung outside the shower.
Discipline of clowning
Participants will also be invited to explore the discipline of clowning. The workshops include exercises to reignite that sense of play that abandons us as adults.
Sandra Austin from Portmarnock volunteered to wear a red nose during the introductory session. While she has done some comic acting and sung in choirs, up there, alone in her red nose, she was asked to run around, do press-ups and talk about her ideal romantic date. "I've been on stage before but up there today I felt like I was naked in a way. The red nose made me feel vulnerable – part of your brain is thinking 'Do I look stupid?'" says Austin.
Mother of five Toni McNally from Mulhuddart said she'd be waiting for the doors to open when the programme starts. She recently participated in the community project You, Yes You! under the direction of Liam Halligan, Draíocht's theatre artist-in-residence for 2011/2012. McNally describes her experience of this project as "transformative" – "What an opportunity it is to take your singing from the kitchen to the stage! If you love singing, it's a dream come true," she says.
To find out more about Hallelujah! phone 01-8852610 or email email@example.com . Rehearsals begin on Monday, February 18th, 2013, from 7pm. You must be over 16 to take part.
Red nose day: clowning's special place in Irish theatrical culture
Clowning is the art of making failure funny. Avoiding a ladder, a clown will skid on a banana skin. Sniffing flowers, he will get sprayed in the face. Wooing a woman, he will end up humiliated, his pants around his ankles. Clowns are funny, yes, but they win us over through pity rather than a desire for emulation.
There are hundreds of different types of clown: from the court jester Fool of Shakespearean comedy to the white-faced Pierrot of the Italian Commedia dell'Arte; from the red-nosed Mime to the colourful children's character playing circus ringside games.
As Raymond Keane, one of the founding members of Ireland's most long-standing theatrical clown company Barabbas, explains, "clown is a mask behind and through which is revealed the very essence of being human".
Shaped by a narrative of inevitable catastrophe, clown holds a special place in Irish theatrical culture.
As Keane sees it, "we are good rule breakers and a nation of slaggers, preferring the put down over the compliment, which is not surprising given our colonial past and the dogmatic hands of church and state". It was not until the 1980s, however, that Ireland began to develop a formal theatrical clowning tradition.
The Oscar Mime School run by Vincent O'Neill was the home for many an aspiring performer, but many travelled to France to train at the prestigious academies run by Jacques Lecoq and Marcel Marceau in Paris.
Barabbas was one of the first Irish companies to devote itself exclusively to clown. Established by Keane and fellow-clowns Veronica Coburn and Mikel Murfi in 1993, the company connected its work to "traditions like the Strawboys and Mummers" and "the music hall greats", Maureen Potter and Jimmy O'Dea.
Indeed, one of the greatest exponents of the Irish clown, Keane says, was Samuel Beckett, who, for all the bleak philosophy of his plays, toyed with some of the oldest clowning routines: a banana in Krapp's Last Tape, slapstick and identity-swapping in Waiting for Godot.
"Perhaps nearly all of our great playwrights – Yeats, Synge, Murphy, Keane, McDonagh – have drawn on the clown archetype," Keane says, "embracing its power to entertain, disrupt, dismantle."
Yet in the 1990s Barabbas was one of the few artists interested in exploiting how the tradition of comic physical performance could be used to entertain theatre audiences and explore Irish culture.
This is the theme of a new book by Carmen Szabo, The Story of Barabbas, The Company, which serves as a welcome introduction to the company, which is still performing, albeit in reduced circumstances. (Barabbas lost its regular Arts Council funding in 2010 and is now funded project by project, while Coburn and Murfi are no longer formally associated with the company.)
Szabo's book is at its best when it reminds the reader of the company's early work, which lives on only in the memory of those lucky enough to see productions like Half Eight Mass of a Tuesday or Sick, Dying, Buried, Dead, Out in 1994 and 1995.
I sat in the audience myself as a young teenager, enthralled by half-pint puppets, shadowy silhouettes and red noses shining like beacons in the dark. I had been to the theatre before and thought I understood its freedoms, however, seeing adults so obviously and joyously "playing" opened up a whole different world of possibility to me.
A few years later I was lucky enough to attend a clown workshop, where Barabbas shared the principles of clowning with a motley group of adolescents from various youth theatres.
It was tiring and embarrassing, as Mikel, Raymond and Veronica pointed out how we were actually breaking the rules: fidgeting, grinning, gurning, "acting the clown".
But this was the rite of passage through which we would earn our red noses. A clown wasn't a personality you pulled on, was the simple message, but one that emerged from inside you you when you weren't looking.

Hi and welcome to JA,
Here is a comparison between a C and and an S corporation that wil help you:
Choice of S or C Corporation They are really not that different. It depends on your situation:
1. C corp : limited liability protection; ease of raising capital; ease of adding owners and shareholders;taxed as an entity (as opposed to S); C will involve double tax (not so with an S). A coorporation may qualify as a C corpoaration without regard to any limit on the number of shareholders, foreign or domestic. It will last forever.
2. S corp: this is a flow through entity. It is not itself subject to income tax, rather the shareholders are subject to tax on their pro rata share of income based on their shareholdings. The corporation shares must be held by a resident or citizen individuals or certain qualifying trusts.
3. These corporations have their own corporate ID numbers EINs.
Each is called a shareholder
You get a corporate EIN since the C Corp is taxed as an entity. Therefore, you don't have to file Social Security numbers to form the C Corp. But remember, you will have a personal return with your own Social Security number and one of the aspects of your return will be the profit or loss from the C Corp. shares which must be reflected on that personal return.
EIN is like a corporate social security number.
As I said, each's profit or loss from the Corporation would appear in his personal 1040 just like any other income, loss, expense, etc.

Ousted Egyptian president slams Syrian leader for committing 'crimes against his countrymen,' local newspaper reports

Ousted President Hosni Mubarak criticized Syrian President Bashar Assad
over his regime's brutal crackdown on protesters over the
According to the report, Mubarak – who is held in Cairo's police academy, where he is being tried for ordering the murder of hundreds of protesters during the popular uprising at the beginning of the year – told a confidant that he denounces Assad's "crimes against his own countrymen," adding that the Syrian leader should grant the people's will and resign.
One of Mubarak's close confidants told the newspaper that the former president is suffering from depression, saying he has stayed in Egypt in order to prove his innocence. "By god, I am innocent and didn't give an order to kill anyone," Mubarak was quoted as saying.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, Egypt and the United States scrapped this year's planned military drills, known as Bright Star, the largest exercises of their kind in the region, according to Egyptian and US military sources.
"The Bright Star military practice was called off exceptionally this year given the political situation in Egypt," an Egyptian army official said.
Meanwhile, Turkey's prime minister compared Syria's president to Libya's Muammar Gaddafi on Wednesday.
"We made our calls (to Gaddafi) but unfortunately we got no result," Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday. "The same thing is happening with Syria at the moment."
Erdogan said he personally spoke to Assad and sent his foreign minister to Damascus, but "despite all of this, they are continuing to strike civilians."

Recent studies have proposed setting up a benchmark market for indexed bonds to prevent "Sudden Stops," emerging-market crises initiated by sudden reversals of capital inflows. This paper analyzes the macroeconomic implications of such bonds, which would be indexed to the terms of trade or GDP, using a general equilibrium model of a small open economy with financial frictions. Although indexed bonds provide a hedge to income fluctuations and can thereby mitigate the effects of financial frictions, they introduce interest rate fluctuations. Because of this tradeoff, there exists a nonmonotonic relation between the "degree of indexation" (i.e., the percentage of the shock reflected in the return) and the effects of these bonds on macroeconomic fluctuations. Therefore, indexation can improve macroeconomic conditions only if the degree of indexation is less than a critical value. When the degree of indexation is higher than this threshold, it strengthens the precautionary savings motive and increases consumption volatility and the impact effect of Sudden Stops. The threshold degree of indexation depends on the volatility and persistence of income shocks as well as on the relative openness of the economy.

Lonsdale Hotel
A wet, windy and cold Friday night and we are heading south. A quick dash down to the Lonsdale Hotel for an early dinner to celebrate my nephews 13th birthday. Happy Birthday Ed. The total lack of peak hour traffic was not the first surprise for the night.
Having not been to the Lonsdale for some years, on arrival I was pleasantly surprised at the makeover that has been done to the dining area, on such a cold night, this area was warm and bright and totally different to what it was last time I ate there. May have to venture here later in summer as the large outdoor extension to the dining area is like an oasis, amongst the industrial area that surrounds the hotel.
The place was packed, apparently pretty standard on weekends, so a reservation is always a good idea.
Location: 25/27 Sherriffs Rd, Lonsdale, South Australia
Price: $14.90 Schnitzel + $2.00 for Parmi Topping.
Size: A good size Parmi, left feeling satisfied, not hungry, not over fed – 7.5/10
Sides: Chips to die for, nicely seasoned and crisp, even those under the Parmi, and plenty of them. A fresh salad of greens, tomato, cucumber and carrot with a balsamic dressing. (vegetable option is also available) – 8/10
Topping: A tasty, herby nap sauce, a generous covering of cheese without being too much but no ham (not that this affected the overall presentation). A little dry on the edges but not burnt. – 7.5/10
Value for Money: At $16.90, with good quality and nice sized serve, this is certainly great value for money. (If you can get hold of a shopper docket from local supermarkets, the second one at $6.00 is even better.) – 8 /10
Venue: As mentioned, the renovations to the dining area have transformed this place, bright fresh and warm (thanks to an interesting glass surrounded gas heater in the middle of the room). A pleasant place to dine, hence its popularity. There is plenty of friendly staff, and the service is not compromised by the large number of people dining. There is a range of specials available, for entrée, mains and desert. There is a good range of beer on tap as well as white wine. – 7.5/10
Overall Rating: The Parmi at the Lonsdale was certainly worth the trip down south, for both price and quality. The venue is a pleasant place to dine, even with the large numbers of diners. Another trip will certainly be on the cards.
Parmi Guide Ranking – 77%

What It Means to Be 98 Percent Chimpanzee: Apes, People, and Their Genes
Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 2003. 312 pages.
Matt Cartmill writes, "In this clever, entertaining, and thoughtful book, Marks lays out some important limitations of science in general and genetics in particular. Using terms that everybody can understand, he demolishes the pretensions of scientists who try to use genetics to answer questions about the kinship of nations, the rights of animals, the racial identity of Kennewick Man, the hereditary Jewish priesthood, and the existence of God. Marks has a lot of fun with all this — and so will his readers." A member of NCSE, Marks teaches at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
