Republicans' Report on Katrina Assails Response
By ERIC LIPTON
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 — House Republicans plan to issue a blistering report on Wednesday that says the Bush administration delayed the evacuation of thousands of New Orleans residents by failing to act quickly on early reports that the levees had broken during Hurricane Katrina.
A draft of the report, to be issued by an 11-member, all-Republican committee, says the Bush administration was informed on the day Hurricane Katrina hit that the levees had been breached, even though the president and other top administration officials earlier said that they had learned of the breach the next day.
That delay was significant, the report says, rejecting the defense given by the White House and the Department of Homeland Security that the time it took to recognize the breach did not significantly affect the response.
"If the levees breached and flooded a large portion of the city, then the flooded city would have to be completely evacuated," the draft report says. "Any delay in confirming the breaches would result in a delay in the post-landfall evacuation of the city." It adds that the White House itself discounted damage reports that later proved true.
The report, by the select House committee examining the government's response to Hurricane Katrina, is the first of three major investigations into the subject; the others, for which reports are expected within one or two months, are being conducted by a Senate committee and by the White House.
The House report blames all levels of government, from the White House to Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco of Louisiana to Mayor C. Ray Nagin of New Orleans, for the delayed response to the storm.
"Our investigation revealed that Katrina was a national failure, an abdication of the most solemn obligation to provide for the common welfare," the draft says. "At every level — individual, corporate, philanthropic and governmental — we failed to meet the challenge that was Katrina. In this cautionary tale, all the little pigs built houses of straw."
A White House spokesman said that President Bush was now focused on the future, not the past. A Department of Homeland Security spokesman said that Michael D. Brown, the former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was partly to blame for failing to make timely reports to his superiors.
The response to Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, in which about 1,400 people died along the Gulf Coast, raises troubling questions about the nation's ability to react to other threats to domestic security, the draft report says.
"If this is what happens when we have advance warning, we shudder to imagine the consequences when we do not," the draft says, referring to the potential for a terror attack. "Four and a half years after 9/11, America is still not ready for prime time."
Democrats declined to appoint members to the committee, raising concerns that the group would produce a whitewash, though several House Democrats participated in committee discussions. After the Republican report was prepared, Democrats praised it in a written response for being comprehensive and detailed, though they complained that it did not hold enough individual officials accountable and continued their call for an independent commission.
What is most disturbing about the hurricane response, the draft report says, is that the entire catastrophe was so easily foreseen — given the weather reports and the precarious position of New Orleans as a below-sea-level city in a major hurricane zone — yet still the response was so flawed.
"It remains difficult to understand how government could respond so ineffectively to a disaster that was anticipated for years, and for which specific dire warnings had been issued for days," the report says. "This crisis was not only predictable, it was predicted."
The homeland security secretary, Michael Chertoff, and President Bush's own staff of White House domestic security advisers drew some of the most scathing criticism in the report, some of the contents of which were first reported Sunday in The Washington Post.
Mr. Chertoff, the draft report says, should have moved two days before Hurricane Katrina hit — when the National Weather Service issued dire predictions about the storm — to set up a special interagency leadership team to ensure that emergency supplies and rescue squads would be in place ahead of the storm. His department also should have done more to help evacuate the Gulf Coast, the report says.
The Homeland Security Department, the draft report says, "failed to anticipate the likely consequences of the storm and procure the buses, boats and aircraft that were ultimately necessary to evacuate the flooded city prior to Katrina's landfall."
These critical prestorm mistakes were only compounded, the draft report says, when the department failed another vital challenge: to determine rapidly whether the storm had breached a major levee.
A staff member from the department's Federal Emergency Management Agency who was on the ground in New Orleans learned on Monday morning, Aug. 29, the day the storm hit, that a major section of the 17th Street Canal levee had collapsed. He confirmed that report by Monday evening when he flew over the collapsed levee in a Coast Guard helicopter.
Between 10:30 p.m. and midnight, news of the finding reached Mr. Chertoff's top deputy, the White House and the Homeland Security Operations Center, or H.S.O.C., which is the Washington-based nerve center for domestic incidents.
The House investigators were told by Kenneth Rapuano, the deputy homeland security adviser to President Bush, that the administration did not immediately act on the report because it had other dispatches suggesting that such a breach might not have occurred.
"We weren't going to repair the levees overnight, and search and rescue was already operating in full gear, regardless," Mr. Rapuano told the committee, according to the draft.
But the draft says the failure to act on this report did apparently slow the response.
"Because the H.S.O.C. failed to confirm the levee breaches on Monday," the draft says, the first federal decision to line up buses needed to evacuate the city did not happen until Tuesday, when the federal disaster relief worker in New Orleans "saw the water reaching the Superdome and realized it would become an island."
Allen Abney, a White House spokesman, said President Bush had "full confidence" in his homeland security team and was involved in the storm response from beginning to end.
"The president is less interested in yesterday and more interested with today and tomorrow," Mr. Abney said, "so that we can be better prepared for next time."
The White House declined to provide copies of e-mail messages or other correspondence by senior advisers to the president, limiting the House investigators' ability to understand fully the White House's role in the response, the report says. But with the information the committee collected, it says, it is clear that the president's office is also to blame.
"The White House failed to de-conflict varying damage assessments and discounted information that ultimately proved accurate," the draft says. "The president's Homeland Security team did not effectively substantiate, analyze and act on the information at its disposal."
The draft's plainly worded criticism extends to the administrations of Governor Blanco, a Democrat, and Mayor Nagin of New Orleans.
Mr. Nagin, the report says, waited far too long to issue a mandatory evacuation order. The city and the state also had no reliable system to ensure that people in nursing homes or hospitals, or the estimated 100,000 residents without transportation, could get out of harm's way.
"Failure of complete evacuation resulted in hundreds of deaths and severe suffering for thousands," the draft report says, adding that individuals who remained in the city deserved part of the blame.
The response to Hurricane Katrina, the report says, ultimately was a failure of leaders to take action.
"If 9/11 was a failure of imagination," it says, "then Katrina was a failure of initiative."

I've been having a blast with Pinterest as of late - finding things to do around the house as well as DIY things to save money...next up on my list was laundry soap. The recipe is all over Pinterest and seemed pretty easy to make -
The total cost of these 3 items (I did buy 2 bars of the Fels) was about $11. I didn't even use 1/2 of either big box. So only using 1-2 Tbsp per load - this is going to last quite a while!
And the bonus is that these same ingredients make DIY Dishwasher Detergent!!

Today I got rid of my mother's old double bed frame that is still in good condition in under 3 hours. At my old flat I got rid of a bed and wardrobe in a day and when my mum downsized we found homes for a lot of unwanted but still decent quality furniture (mum would show anyone who came for anything everything else that was up for grabs!).
I love using it because it also feels like you are giving things out to people who need them and less ends up in landfill.
I do know though one of the reasons it's so easy is I live in a very populus major city with plenty of people using it.

Description: Silence may not sound like much of a tactical weapon, but make no mistake — it can be very powerful.
There are two ways to deploy silence as a tactic. The first is to make your offer (or an early counter-offer) and then SHUT UP. A general rule for novice negotiators is to speak half as much as you think you should. A common mistake is for negotiators to make apologies or justifications for their opening offer. Deliver the number… and then SHUT UP. Less can be more at the negotiating table.
The second is more aggressive — and that's to maintain eye contact but say NOTHING in response to what you consider an unreasonable or incomplete proposal. There's a good chance he'll cave and start making unilateral concessions or volunteering detailed explanations. Unfortunately, there's also a chance he'll get annoyed and a conflict will ensue.
Intent: Silence not only slows down the pace, but it claims control of the negotiation. It's not considered friendly, and may undermine the relationship.

The District has its own sense of style, influenced by professionals that come from all over the world. DC's style reflects metropolitan sensibilities with inspirations similar to those of other East Coast cities like New York as well as those from the West Coast like Los Angeles. That style sits alongside and more often than not is infused with traditional clothing aesthetics and classic americana. And DC's hyper international and cosmopolitan nature ensures vibrancy with stylistic components inspired by and imported from Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and nearly every other point on the globe. As a first introduction to DC's fashion scene, check out our list of seven DC area women's clothing boutiques that you won't find anywhere else.
14th st / u street cooridor / logan circle
Minimalist takes on a new meaning with Redeem. Comparable to brands like All Saints and Rag & Bone in terms of style, Redeem stocks a selection of refreshingly dark colors, clean lines and "vintage" metal jewelry. You won't find anything remotely preppy or Lilly Pulitzer-esque here, but if black on black with a touch of gold (jewelry) is your thing, Redeem is a definite can't-miss. Check out pieces from their latest collection.
It's all about comfort, patterns and femininity with Willow. Founded by sisters Julie and Jill Wineinger, Willow is a lot like Francesca in the geometric patterns, large cardigans, floral flared dresses and chunky statement necklaces that make up much of its inventory. The clothes are meant to flatter and enhance the feminine form without sacrificing the working women's comfort, hence the pastel blazers and patterned dresses. The bright colors and skirts favored by Willow are perfect for spring, so make sure to stock up! Take a look at some of their recent stock.
Violet Boutique
Georgetown (formerly adams morgan)
"With Violet, shopping in DC is colorful again."
You don't make such a bold statement without bold clothes to back it up. Fortunately for Violet, its clothes are bright and eye-catching, sometimes even daring. The boutique plays around with texture, color, patterns and cut in a way other clothing boutiques don't. Interestingly, Violet Boutique also has a personal styling service as a way for women to try out the newest styles of the season. See more of Violet Boutique's clothing.
Lettie Gooch
There's no single word that can describe the style at Lettie Gooch, and that's exactly how the independent boutique wants it. Lettie Gooch is proud to carry independent clothes from emerging local designers that are both wearable and stylish. You can find everything from gray jumpsuits to loud peasant blouses to jean jackets – the one thing they all have in common is that all the clothes sold are designed for maximum comfort. See what they have to offer.
Nubian Hueman
Nubian Hueman is a different sort of store that puts an ethnic twist on all their clothes. African prints and traditional materials are used to create their look . Although Nubian Hueman is primarily a clothing boutique, they also carry lines of skin products – lotions, cremes, cleansers – and scents. Take a look at some of their most recent clothing goods.
Hu's Wear
Easily the priciest boutique on this list, Hu's Wear carries designer brands like Chloé, Alexander McQueen, Céline, Junya Watanabe, DSquared2, among others. Owner Marlene Hu Aldaba travels the globe, handpicking creative designs from luxury lines to sell in Hu's Wear. Every item in the boutique is one-of-a-kind, and at the prices she asks you're sure to be guaranteed quality too. And if you're looking for that killer pair of heels, Hu's Shoes is located within one block of Hu's Wear. Check out Hu's Wear's latest clothing selection.
Take 5 Boutique
Fairfax, va
Take 5 is what you get after you add the "five essential looks of woman" – stylish, chic, elegant, modern and sexy – or that's what Take 5 aims to embody. True to its motto, Take 5 carries a mature selection of styles, although their color palette tends to stay within the black, gray, white and beige range. The clothes are loose and modern, with deep vs and culottes dominating most of their spring line. These are definitely clothes you can wear both at home and to work. Browse their inventory.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Workers & FELA Compensation
Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) is among the largest freight railroads in the U.S.
BNSF was founded in 1996 with the merger of the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway companies. As the largest transporter of intermodal freight (cargo that is transported via various modes, including ship), BNSF is one of only four remaining transcontinental railroads in the U.S. Currently, the Union Pacific Railroad Company is its primary competitor.
Although BNSF plays a pivotal role in transporting goods and providing employment, it is also responsible for increasing the chances that its workers will be seriously injured or killed on the job. Exposure to toxins, regular use of heavy machinery and equipment defects are just some of the factors that can endanger BNSF railroad workers.
To compensate for such elevated dangers, the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) stipulates that injured railroad workers will be entitled to sizable settlements, should they be injured while working and should their injuries result from an employer's, co-worker's or equipment manufacturer's negligence or recklessness.
Injured BNSF employees can learn more about their legal rights by meeting with an experienced FELA lawyer.
Common BNSF Railroad Accidents
The significant weight of trains and their cargo, as well as the speeds at which they travel, can elevate the risk that BNSF workers will be injured on the job.
Common BNSF accidents include (but aren't limited to):
- collisions
- derailments
- highway-rail incidents (in which interaction between a railroad and a highway passenger occurs on the track or at a crossing)
- human error (which can be caused by improper training, negligence or recklessness)
- signal and/or equipment defects
- track defects
- trespassing
The Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis reports that nearly 2,500 railroad accidents occurred in the first three months of 2009. Such tragedies resulted in 150 deaths and over 1,600 injuries.
Railroad Injuries
When a BNSF train accident occurs, it's likely to cause severe injury and/or death. Fractures, traumatic brain injuries, lost limbs, devastating burns, and back and neck injuries are among the most common injuries experienced by BNSF workers. In most cases, due to the severity of railroad injuries, they are incurable and, as a result, require long-term (if not lifelong) treatment.
When to Meet with a BNSF Accident Injury Lawyer
After receiving emergency medical care and stabilizing their health, injured Burlington Northern Santa Fe workers should meet with an experienced FELA lawyer with the experienced needed to help them recover the money they need to pay for any necessary long-term treatment costs, medical bills and other damages.
Have you or a loved one been injured while working for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway? If so, contact us today to talk to an experienced FELA attorney who has the knowledge, compassion and experience to help you.

Justin Trudeau Visits Partition Museum In Amritsar
AMRITSAR – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the world's first Partition Museum at Town Hall, in Amritsar along with five Cabinet Ministers and 15 Members of Parliament as part of his visit to the Golden Temple.
Trudeau spent about 25 minutes in the Partition Museum. He spent time in the Gallery of Migration hearing the stories and looking at the various objects carried by people as they fled their homes and moved across the newly drawn borders. He also paused at the well installation in the Gallery of Divisions, dedicated to the women who were lost at the time of Partition. He spent the maximum time in the Gallery of Hope, which focuses on love and reconciliation. He left a note on the Tree of Hope writing that the Museum is "a poignant reminder that dividing people is never the answer; we must learn to live together and love our differences."
Mallika Ahluwalia, CEO and Curator, Partition Museum, said, "We are very grateful to Prime Minister Trudeau for visiting the Partition Museum. As Canada has a vibrant Punjabi community, the Museum is very keen to record and include the stories of Punjabis settled there."
Trudeau also shared his thoughts on the Partition Museum saying "to think of the lives torn apart, the violence and loss…We need to remember that it's always easy to divide people. It's much more difficult but it's the only path to bring people together in love and understanding. We have to be ever vigilant that that is what we are putting into the world and that is the way we are building our future."
The Partition Museum is the world's first Museum dedicated to the Partition of the Indian sub-continent in 1947. The Museum is dedicated to all those millions impacted in the largest migration in human history and is a space of reconciliation. The Museum uses multi-media exhibits including oral histories, archival footage, historical newspapers, official files, as well as personal documents and objects carried by individuals and families who lived through the Partition to tell the story. It also aims to become a comprehensive archive on the Partition. The Museum opened with a curtain raiser exhibition in October 2016 and opened all its galleries to the public on August 17, 2017.
The Partition Museum is located in Town Hall, Amritsar, a short walk from the Golden Temple.

Public speaking can be a challenge for a lot of us. It's a little nerve wrecking to have all these people looking at you. And they are listening to what you are saying. What if you forget the words? What if your point won't come across? Even if speaking during a conference can be scary and takes a lot of time and effort, you should really do it. Why?
It's an honour to be asked
They don't ask you to speak at their conference because all the other interesting people had something else to do. They are asking you because they see something in you. Something that fits right in with the subject or theme. Are you not sure why they wanted you? Ask! And use it for your speech.
Think outside the box
Speaking at an event can be a great opportunity to do something else for a change. To prepare for a speech you really have to imagine yourself being the listener. What would be interesting to see or hear? How can you bring something new to the table? Preparing for a speech is a very creative process, I am sure you will like it!
It broadens your network
Speaking at a conference is a great conversation starter for others to talk to you. Meeting all these people is great, but if you're smart you can really broaden your network. Bring business cards and give them to people who are interesting or who could help you in the future. Invite people you recently met for a coffee. Networking is a verb, keep that in mind.
People remember stories
Nobody remembers the statistics, but they do remember your anecdote about how your company started out and how you transformed it into a success. Such memories are worth a lot, it's great PR for you and the company you represent!
Have you ever spoken during a conference? Tell me all about it in the comments!

But it seems like all of the major social networks are determined to send you one anyway:
To be fair, I actually like the Quora one, because it features interesting information that I wouldn't have thought of. The others just regurgitated information I would have either kept up with by logging in, or provided information on popular stuff, which I don't really care about. And I didn't mention the Google+ one, or the Facebook one because I turned those options off from the very beginning. This should be a feature that you should deal with at sign-up, not five months into using it.
I just checked my Pinterest account - apparently I'd already checked the "off" option for the weekly digest:
Funny, I could have sworn the same thing happened with my Twitter digest, too.

There have been studies linking air pollution in our cities with premature death. A study in London found links between gasses emitted mostly from diesel cars (PM2.5 particles and NO2) and 9,416 deaths in the city last year. Boris Johnson has pushed for a diesel scrappage scheme for all vehicles in the past because of pollution levels on Oxford street which was due to big diesel London busses. Now we have clean air zones coming in, but this excludes private diesel cars. The thing is private cars make up 88% of all diesel motors. If there was a scheme like this for owners of private diesel cars as well, it may also help to raise some awareness of how much damage they are doing.
Something certainly needs to be done, especially as our nation's health is being affected. We have seen the effects of smog and how bad it is, not only from our own past but from other countries in the present. We need to recognise this as a problem and realise that it's not only where there is smog that there is a problem - pollution is usually invisible and even when we can't see it, it can still kill us. Just because our cities, for the most part, don't have a shroud surrounding them permanently doesn't mean that they are free from the dangers that high amounts of pollution brings.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Sidewinders Bar & Grille' started by Mansonienne, Jun 7, 2019.
Missed that one...
Your exactly right. That's what a great many English teams lack.
I'll stop posting the results! There's nothing worse than knowing the results before you can get to see the match
Ah..its good to see the women's game is nice and 'touchy-feely'..
Im not too worried about Brazil, its typical for them....beat up on the nobodies early on and then collapse in a whirlwind of dirty play against the better teams. Men or women, same thing different day. I'm still a bit amazed by the Italy/Australia match yesterday...did not see that coming.
Time alone will tell. Good luck to your own team of choice
Massonienne sensured by the FIFA! Do they understand who she is? The Stratcastinstor Extrodinere , Senior Head of the Royal Order of Authority, Much revered Staff Member of the Glorious ST Forum, She who must be obeyed.
What is the world outside the forum coming to?
Watched the England v Scotland match yesterday. It is the first women's match that I have watched through. I really enjoyed it. Less predictable than the men's senior game. Probably because there are still tactical and technical errors being made that provides for more excitement.
I was also a bit surprised by the Scottish team....... and relieved. I expected them to get a real going over.
Just saw Argentina-Japan - took my son and his friend. A disappointing 0-0... the Argentinians did spend a fair amount of time on the ground...I didn't get a close enough look at the fouls to know whether that was warranted.
Yes sorry I think it's only available in France. Maybe there's a FIFA TV channel for each country?
Decent start for Canada today. Looking forward to seeing them in a tougher match up!
I was just watching the highlights and saw a Argentina player take out her teammate.
ha........... can't embed the vid. Oh well.
They should've awarded the US a penalty shot for that 45th minute foul in the penalty box, or at least a free kick. That was ridiculous, including the foul on Rapinoe just before that.
I saw an angle that looked to me like the Thai player got the ball before the contact with the US player. I've been reffing soccer for almost 30 years, and don't find it ridiculous...
That said, the US are beating Thailand like a drum. It's almost embarrassing...
Wow, USA 10 to zip and it aint over yet.
Personally, I do not like the excessive celebrating the US are doing with each successive goal (and this is MY team). I rather believe in karma and don't care for where this is going...
I have cautioned players on teams for doing this (when up by more than three goals), because I know from experience (both playing and refereeing) that it is not unlikely that players on the down team will start trying to break legs. At least, that's the way it goes in the men's game...
USA is crushing. Letting up would be disrespectful so...let it rip.
I'm supporting Thailand in tonight's game against the USA. I know that you are a supporter of the US team, but I'm confident that Thailand will come out winners of this match.
I just want to ask that our new friendship will not be soured by my support of an opposing team?

Today, we have an exclusive interview with "Wicked" alum Allison Leo. Ms. Leo was part of the Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco companies of the show, where she was the dance captain, a swing, and an understudy for the Witch's Mother and Midwife. Enjoy the insight of a dance captain below!
What was your first professional acting job, and how did you get it? What did you learn from the experience?
My 1st professional job was a Japanese commercial for a gas/oil company. I got it from good ole auditioning. There were some very seasoned and respected actors on that job and it was about learning how to work by watching how they did it. I made those who paved the way for me into mentors…without their knowledge or permission. Haha!
When did you first realize that you wanted to be in "Wicked"?
I wanted to be in Wicked before it even existed. I heard Wayne Cilento was doing this new show. I had worked with him on several other shows and he is just one of my Absolute Favorite people to work for ever ever ever.
What was your reaction when you found out you had been cast in the show?
My reaction when I was cast was excitement…and a tiny amount of panic as it was a very tight time frame from casting to 1st rehearsal and I had to get from LA to Chicago very quickly. I always feel the "first day of school" butterflies of starting something new- joining a new show is like joining a new family and it comes with all the joy, fear, anticipation, etc. that you would imagine.
How long was your initial rehearsal process for the show? What was it like?
My rehearsal process was quite short and very much a whirlwind. I think it was maybe scheduled at 10 days because I was replacing someone who had an injury…and I didn't even make it through that. I went on a few days before my scheduled debut due to extenuating circumstances…I may not have even known all the words yet! But everyone was so kind and supportive and got me through it. I do remember doing a lot of Ozdust Ballroom in the kitchen of my studio apartment. You gotta remember the stove is downstage, not the washing machine!
What is it like now, as dance captain, to help lead new people in the show through the rehearsal process?
Teaching the show is…great because people are generally super excited to be in it and very hard working…and challenging because you're just trying to get an enormous volume of very specific material across in a short period of time. You can always tell when someone's mental harddrive is filling up for the day. I try to pace things so big numbers aren't all tackled in the same day. And on another level the challenge is to layer in all the character and story information as you go so that all those dance steps and blocking actually mean something!
As dance captain, which part of the show is generally the hardest for new people to learn, and why do you think this is the case?
It seems the hardest part of the show to learn is the opening. It's a great deal of staging and a great deal of music and you're starting and the end of the story, but they don't know the story yet…because they're new. The creative team had the good idea to start teaching the show at the beginning of the actual story, which is student's arrival at Shiz, and then go back and teach the opening last so they have some context to put it in.
What was your first performance like? Which track were you in?
My first performance was in the Chicago company in the Witch's Mother track. It was a total blur and adrenaline ride because, as I said, I ended up going on with no notice before my scheduled first performance. All I can say is Thank You to great dance captains, stage managers, dressers, hair folks, and dance partners!
What is your favorite track to perform and why?
My favorite track to perform changes depending on how I'm feeling, how my body's feeling, etc.. One of the nice things about being a swing, I guess…
But probably the Mother track because it was my first so I'll always have a soft spot for it.
What is a typical day like for you while performing in the show?
A typical day would be get up, Latte and breakfast, probably some rehearsal, dinner break. Whether I'm on or not determines what I can eat for dinner. I start obsessing about my phone around 5pm as that's about the time we learn of any changes in the show lineup that evening and if anything special needs to be done about it. Try to get in a sensible workout or at least a decent warm-up.
Have you witnessed – or perhaps been involved in – any onstage bloopers or mishaps that you'd like to share?
There are always tons of bloopers and mishaps in live theater…bubble malfunctions, someone spontaneously dropping into the splits due to rogue "bubble juice" or fog, poor Malena giving birth on the floor because the bed didn't come down the track, Elphie trying to triumphantly Defy Gravity on the floor downstage center instead of in the air because of a mechanical malfunction, falling down in the Flathead costume and having to be dragged off stage because it's impossible to get up with no arms and clown shoes, someone going up on their lines or lyrics, getting the giggles, Fiyero getting tangled in his rope swing…the list goes on and on. Hopefully the contingency plans are good and most of what goes "wrong" stays an inside joke…but some things you just can't plan for…which is why live theater is great, right?
Are there any dream roles that you'd like to one day perform?
As far as dream roles…maybe Sally Bowles in Cabaret. Also, I Really would've loved to do Movin' Out.
What advice would you give to aspiring performers?
I don't know about giving advice to aspiring performers…who am I to tell anyone how to do it, and everyone has their own path. I feel like I'm still learning all the time and trying to figure it out…and making secret mentors of people I admire. Haha.
I guess I'd say persistence is invaluable – that ability to not let the rejection that can come with this business discourage you from doing what you care about. But that's just life, right? I suppose you'll only persist in anything if you truly have a passion for what you're doing. I have noticed that a very large proportion of the most successful people I've encountered are rather humble, generous, hard working, considerate, open to learning (no matter what their resume looks like), and are focused on their WORK. I don't think that's a coincidence. Being nice is underrated, but secretly valued.
I think what sums up the whole paragraph I wrote is some advice that one of my teachers really tried to impart to his students – "You Must Take Your Work Seriously, But You Cannot Take Yourself Seriously." That has served me very well.
