Where is the brotherhood of man that John Lennon imagined in his song? He extended the invitation, "I hope someday you'll join us." Where is the 'us' of which he spoke? Where are the dreamers who have given up their possessions so that greed and hunger could be done away with in a brotherhood of men and women who share a common life together? And who is the courageous pacesetter who risked everything to bring about this brotherhood?
John Lennon was powerless to bring about the brotherhood of man that he longed for. The stirring message of his song could not take us beyond the life of the messenger who brought it. Likewise, the profound truths of the Bible can not, by themselves, take us beyond the compromised religious system of Christianity that does not demonstrate the life it promises. The Christian gospel has been reduced to verses on bumper stickers and billboards, and Imagine likewise has been reduced to the sappy sound of Muzak in supermarkets and department stores. The message has no power unless the messenger is so enthralled with the message that he gives up his own life in order to make it a reality.
The idea of a brotherhood of man did not originate with John Lennon, nor did it die with him. It was born in the heart of the Creator of all things. From His fertile imagination He created man and woman to rule over His creation. They were to fill the earth with their offspring who would share all the world in peace, living each day to its fullest. Even though man has fallen from this created purpose, what is in the heart of his Creator has not changed. He has always longed for a people whose life is a demonstration of the love that is in His heart, a demonstration of justice and righteousness for all the world to see.
But sin is entrenched in the soul of man, and while there is a genuine desire for life in the hearts of many, the fatal blood poisoning of sin ultimately overpowers that desire. Man can never by his own strength realize his full potential as a human being created in the image of God. Selfishness and greed are so ingrained into his fallen nature that no amount of self-effort can consistently suppress them. Ultimately they rise up to rule the human soul and render futile any attempt to achieve a genuine brotherhood of man. The only way to achieve that brotherhood is to break sin's power.
Death is the final outcome of the power of sin. Death is the consequence of sin, its fair wages. It is not just that our failure to attain to the brotherhood of man results in a somewhat less-than-ideal society to which we must all resign ourselves. Rather, the consequences of our selfishness, greed, and pride are the first fruits of death itself — alienation, strife, loneliness, depression, anger, hostility, murder. The decay of human society, which is evident all around us, is the sum total of the decay of the individual lives of which society is composed. Even the earth itself is defiled by our sin and increasingly becomes a hostile environment to the very creatures who were intended to be its loving caretakers. It is happening as the prophets have spoken:
The earth is also polluted by its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws, violated statutes, broke the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left. (Isaiah 24:5-6)
We cannot glibly settle for something less than the brotherhood of man — we must have the real thing, for our very lives depend upon it. Each one of us was created for eternity, and it has always been in our Creator's heart that we would have eternal life, an eternal brotherhood of man, and not the eternal death that we reap as the consequence of our sin.
That is why, even from the time of man's fall in the Garden, God had a plan to break the power of sin and bring about the true brotherhood of man, the new social order that has always been in His heart. In the fullness of time, He sent the breaker — His own son — who would break the power of sin and usher in the true brotherhood of man, the kingdom of God. He was the true dreamer, the imaginer who not only had the true vision, but also the power and authority to make it happen. He was the Messenger who was so enthralled with His message, which came from the heart of His Father in heaven, that He gave up His own life to make it a reality.
Yahshua hand picked twelve ordinary men, calling them to abandon their own lives so that He could pour His life into them. For three years they followed Him wherever He went, and hung on His every word. He taught them about the kingdom of God. He taught them how to love one another, how to lay down their lives for each other every day. He did not teach them a program of self-improvement, power through positive thinking, or maximizing their human potential. Instead, He said:
If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it. (Luke 9:23-24)
The cross was not an abstract concept to Yahshua's disciples. They had grown up under Roman rule and had seen men crucified. The cross meant death of the most excruciating nature. It was a means of execution saved for the worst criminals and rebels. Yahshua taught his disciples that the only way to deal with their fallen human nature, the selfishness, lust, and rebellion that was in them, was to put it to death, ruthlessly. He taught them that a man cannot enter the kingdom of God without leaving the kingdom of darkness that he is born into, the domain of the evil one whose clutches hold its prey until death. He taught them that no one breaks free by his own strength.
He taught them about death, where you are finally alone with your conscience.1 You are forced to face your sin, with nowhere to hide and nothing to distract your mind from the awareness of your own guilt. Every evil deed, every base thought, every selfish motive comes out of hiding to torture you. Like a worm burrowing into the recesses of your memory, eating away at your every excuse, so is the path of your thoughts as your conscience fully awakens. The unquenchable fire of your self inquisition leaves you either weeping in remorse or gnashing your teeth as you resist the truth about yourself.
Yahshua's disciples didn't understand many things He said. But they witnessed the purity of His life, His boundless love and kindness, His unbroken communion with His Father in heaven. They saw how He suffered and grieved over the hunger, sickness, loneliness, brutality, indifference and pride in the people He encountered every day. Then they heard Him say that He would be delivered up to the Romans and would be mocked and mistreated and spit upon, and after they scourged Him, would crucify Him. They could hardly believe it. Was He speaking figuratively? How could He bring about the kingdom of God if He died? Surely God would not allow it.
Then it happened. One of the twelve betrayed Him into the hands of the religious leaders who were threatened by His teaching and the power of His love. They were after blood, and although the Roman governor proclaimed Him innocent, they chanted in unison, "Crucify Him!" The only sinless man who ever walked the earth was cruelly nailed to a cross like a vile criminal and died.
His disciples were heartbroken, devastated, frightened. They huddled together in a locked room for fear that they would suffer the same fate as their Master. What would they do now that He was gone? He was everything to them. They had given their lives to Him. For three years they had depended on His wisdom, His authority, His direction, His peace. Now He was gone. Where was He?
When Yahshua, the Son of God, was nailed to the cross, having no guilt of His own, He took upon Himself the sins of everyone else. He literally became sin. It was a spiritual event of inconceivable proportions. That is why the earth shook at the moment of His death, when His spirit and soul plunged into the very domain of death. For three days and three nights He endured the unimaginable agonies of death that you and I deserve. The purging of death was able to penetrate to the very core of His being, because there was absolutely no resistance in Him. Out of His infinite love for us, He willingly bore the guilt of our sins and received their wages. When death had exhausted its fury on Him, His spirit returned to His body and the earth shook again as He stood on His feet, forever alive. By His death and resurrection He had broken the power of sin forever.
Imagine the joy of His disciples when they saw Him again! It took several appearances in their locked room before they could all believe their eyes and ears. For the next forty days He taught them the things concerning the kingdom of God that they were never able to understand before. He taught them about the brotherhood of man, the new social order that they would become by the power of His Spirit. They would become His messengers to carry His message to the ends of the earth. He told them to wait for His Spirit to come to them, and then He ascended into heaven.
Ten days later the disciples were still together, about a hundred and twenty in all, waiting in Jerusalem. Suddenly, with a noise like a mighty, rushing wind, Yahshua's Spirit filled the house and settled upon each one of them. The effect was electrifying. So great was their excitement that the whole city heard of it and gathered around the house. The disciples knew of nothing better to do than to speak to the people the message of eternal life that was burning in their hearts. Filled with Yahshua's Spirit, Peter stood up and spoke everything that was on his heart, and the multitude of people listened with rapt attention. His words convicted them of their guilt and their participation in crucifying Yahshua, the Messiah sent to save them. Pierced to the heart, they cried out, begging to know how to be rid of their guilt.
It was then that Peter told them how they could be saved from the perverse generation of that day and enter into the brotherhood of man that Yahshua was establishing on the earth. He told them that their sins had made them worthy of death, but that Yahshua, out of His incomprehensible love for them, had willingly suffered death in their place. If they would willingly surrender their old, rotten, sinful life and let it die in the waters of baptism, joining Him in death, then they would reach Him and have their sins washed away by His blood. Into their clean new life He would pour His own Holy Spirit that would seal them for eternal life and make them able to obey His commands and live a life of love in His holy brotherhood.
Three thousand people received Peter's words that day as if they had come from Yahshua himself. The disciples baptized and laid hands on them, passing on to them the very same Spirit they had received. The result is recorded in the book of Acts in the New Testament:
And all those who had believed were together, and had all things in common; and they were selling their property and possessions, and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need ... They were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart ... There was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales, and lay them at the apostles' feet; and they would be distributed to each, as any had need. (Acts 2:44-47; 4:34-35)
This life waned over the next fifty years to the point where nothing remained of its essence. What continued was the form, the dead institution that John Lennon despised — Christianity.
Today the brotherhood of man that began with those first disciples is being restored on the earth. It could not be imagined into existence. It is coming about because that same Holy Spirit has come upon a people who gave up everything for Messiah's sake. It is not the product of a group of people with a common philosophy, who seek to refine their character, ennoble their human nature, subject themselves to a rigorous discipline, or pursue a political agenda. You cannot enter it or bring it about by the strength of your will. You cannot even achieve it by polishing up your behavior according to principles you can read about in the Bible. The only way into the brotherhood of man is through death — the death of your fallen, sinful nature. And the only way to bring about that death is to come to Yahshua, to His disciples who represent Him on the earth, and surrender your life as you are baptized into the life He is establishing right now — a foretaste of the age to come.
The Twelve Tribes is a confederation of twelve self-governing tribes, composed of self-governing communities. We are disciples of the Son of God whose name in Hebrew is Yahshua. We follow the pattern of the early church in Acts 2:44 and 4:32, truly believing everything that is written in the Old and New Covenants of the Bible, and sharing all things in common.

Just to post in the correct forum a request I mentioned in the users' help a few days ago....
In the event of another firmware update, could we have a less sensitive version please? i.e. when increasing pressure gradually on a pad, the raw output doesn't just go 0, 61, 127, but actually fills in a few more values in between? Like 0, 10, 22, 35, 48, ......97, 108, 116, 124, 127 or something similar?
I'm measuring these values with MIDI Monitor on a Macbook pro.
Maybe this could be an option if everyone else likes the hyperactive one we've got now?

If you want to make the most of the fall bird migration, you need to know when the peak of migration is in your area. The exact times of fall migration vary, but there are plenty of clues birders can watch for in order to learn when their best fall birds will be arriving.
Autumn Dates
The actual dates of autumn vary based on your local geography, altitude, and climate. In the Northern Hemisphere, autumn occurs from early to mid-September through mid- to late November or early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, autumn is from mid- to late March through late May or early June. Birds do not have calendars, however, and they rely on different factors to determine when fall commences and it is time for migration.
Factors Affecting Migration
Many different factors affect when birds migrate in the fall, and they use different clues to determine when the time is right to move from their breeding range to their wintering range. Factors that affect birds' fall migration include:
- Light: Light levels and the overall daily angle of the sun are strong clues for the change of seasons. As the days grow shorter and light angles shallower birds know the time is right to begin migration.
- Temperature and Climate: Cooler temperatures are another indication of the change of seasons. In some climates, the onset of more rains (the rainy season) is another factor that influences the timing of migration.
- Food: As summer crops are consumed and less food is regionally available, birds know it is time to move on to areas that have more resources available. In years of severe drought or when other factors have reduced food sources, birds may migrate earlier than normal.
- Offspring: Birds will not migrate until their offspring are mature enough to care for themselves or to begin their first migration journey. Birds that breed later in summer will also typically migrate later, but as the baby birds mature, the time for fall migration is at hand.
- Location: Where birds are located dramatically impacts when they begin fall migration. Shorebirds that nest in the Arctic may begin their autumn journey as early as July, while passerines in areas closer to the equator may not start migrating until late September.
Local Tracking
With so many different factors affecting the timing of migration, how is it possible to know when your local migration is underway? As birds travel from breeding ranges to wintering ranges, they can cover great distances in a single day, and birders who aren't aware of migration patterns can miss spectacular opportunities as birds move through their region. Fortunately, there are many local clues you can use to determine exactly when birds are migrating in your area.
- Fall Festivals: Birding festivals in autumn are often planned to coincide with peak migration periods with the greatest diversity of visiting migrants. If you know of local festivals, start watching for migrating birds a few weeks before the festival dates to see what new arrivals are in the area as the seasons change.
- Hunting Season: Game bird hunting is often timed during peak migration. Being familiar with local hunting seasons for ducks, geese, quail, doves, and other game birds can help birders recognize the most productive birding times.
- Backyard Species: Watching your familiar backyard birds carefully year after year can teach you about their seasonal migration habits. Use a calendar or birding journal to note when you last see certain bird species each autumn, and within a few years, you will be able to reliably predict when their seasonal migration will begin.
- Flocks: Many migratory birds, particularly swifts and swallows, will form tremendous flocks in the fall just before leaving on their migration journey. When these flocks begin to form on wires or at popular roosts, migration is about to begin.
- Plumage: Many male songbirds, such as American goldfinches, molt into non-breeding plumages that are duller and more camouflaged than their familiar breeding brilliance. Even if those birds do not migrate themselves, their change of attire can indicate the change of seasons and the onset of fall migration. Similarly, watch juvenile birds as they mature, and the more they begin to resemble their parents, the closer fall migration will be.
- Genders: In dimorphic species, watch each gender carefully to see when one leaves the other behind. In rufous hummingbirds, for example, mature males migrate a week or two before females, and their disappearance can be a clue that migration has begun.
Birding Opportunities
No matter when your fall migration takes place, you need to be ready to take advantage of its great birding opportunities.
- Plan your bird-friendly landscaping with migration in mind and opt for flowers that bloom in late summer and early fall to help attract and nourish migrating birds.
- Leave berries, fruits, and seed-bearing flowers intact, rather than dead-heading, late in fall to provide a refueling stop for migrants. These foods will also be welcome for winter visitors.
- Avoid pruning trees and shrubs in autumn if possible to provide additional shelter for migrating birds. If the pruning is necessary, add the cuttings to a brush pile for easy shelter.
- Attract birds using leaf litter that you leave on your lawn or underneath shrubs to provide a rich foraging area for ground-feeding birds such as sparrows, doves, thrushes, and quail.
- Winterize your birdhouses in late fall to convert them to roosting boxes for late-season migrants and winter residents.
- Go birding frequently, particularly in areas that cater to fall birds' needs for food and shelter, to note any new arrivals and to enjoy the last glimpse of departing summer species.
By learning what to look for to time fall migration, it is easy for every birder to enjoy this rich, productive birding season.

The Lipoic Acid Company
If you're looking for the most stable, efficacious, and absorbable Lipoic Acid products available, you've come to the right place! Learn about the powerful benefits of Lipoic Acid, discover why R-Lipoic Acid (RLA) is superior to most commercially available alpha lipoic products and unstabilized R-lipoic acid products, and see what makes GeroNova the #1 provider of R-Lipoic Acid supplements. You can also read about our individual products and shop online!
Premier Lipoceuticals
GeroNova Research offers an extensive line of stabilized R-Lipoic (RLA) products, including single-ingredient R Lipoic products as well as combination formulas. That's why we're "The Lipoic Acid Company." This page will help you decide which GeroNova products are right for you.
1. R-Lipoic Acid Products
When it comes to R-Lipoic Acid, some people want the quick absorption and fast action of water-soluble salts, while others prefer the slow absorption and longer half-life of oil-based products. GeroNova scientists and medical advisors currently believe the optimal dosing strategy may involve both forms in equal amounts of 75-600 mg/day.
A. Quick absorption water-soluble R-Lipoic Acid salts (Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid)
Without special processing, R Lipoic Acid is highly unstable and difficult to absorb. See the pharmacokinetic data. The products below feature R-Lipoic Acid stabilized with either sodium (Na-RALA) or potassium (Potassium-R-Lipoate).
The benefit of water-soluble salts is that they reach high blood levels and are taken up into the tissues quickly. In fact, blood and tissue levels achieved from water-soluble R-Lipoic Acid salts are comparable to that attained with IV injections!
RLA (single-ingredient products)
Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid vegcaps BEST-SELLER!
Bio-Enhanced® K-RALA-10™ liquid
Stabilized RLA. Choose between Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid vegetarian capsules (as Sodium-R-Lipoate or Na-RALA) or our groundbreaking K-RALA-10 liquid (as Potassium-R-Lipoate or K-RALA), which is especially fast-acting.
Inflammation Support (combination formula)
R-PLUSâ"¢ Curcumin vegcaps
Anti-inflammatory times two. R-Plus Curcumin combines the anti-inflammatory power of stabilized R-Lipoic Acid with that of high bioavailability curcumin (from turmeric).*
Antioxidant Protection (combination formula)
R-PLUSâ"¢ NAC vegcaps
Advanced cellular protection. Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) kick the body's protective system into action to prevent cellular damage and accelerated aging.*
B. Slow absorption oil-based R-Lipoic Acid (stabilized RLA/R-DHLA)
As stated above, R Lipoic Acid is highly unstable and difficult to absorb unless it has been specially processed. The products below contain a 50/50 mixture of stabilized R-Lipoic Acid and its reduced form R-Dihydrolipoic Acid, also known as R-DHLA. The two forms work closely together in the body, swapping electrons with each other as needed to fight free radicals.
The benefit of oil-based R-Lipoic Acid is that it has a longer half life, meaning it stays in the body longer. In fact, blood levels of regular users can be measured for several days after dosing.
RLA/R-DHLA (single-ingredient product)
R-PLUS® softgels BEST SELLER!
The redox couple. Provides stabilized R-Lipoic Acid and its reduced form R-DHLA — the naturally occurring "redox" (reduction/oxidation) forms of Lipoic Acid.
Metabolic Support (combination formula)
MITO-GOLD softgels
The blood lipids duo. The combination of stabilized RLA/R-DHLA protects cholesterol from free radical damage, while tocotrienols support a healthy lipid profile.*
Energy & Immune Support (combination formula)
R-PLUS Qâ"¢ softgels
Raw materials for energy. Both RLA/R-DHLA and Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) play important roles in the body's production of cellular energy and improve immune function.*
2. Carnitine products
Research indicates that the combination of R-Lipoic Acid and carnitine may be more beneficial than either product taken alone.
Mind, Memory & Mood Support (combination formula)
Carnitine-PLUS vegcaps
Energy for the mind. A combination of L-Carnitine, which complements RLA's role in the production of energy, and Acetyl-L-Carnitine, which supports cognitive function, memory and emotional health.*
Energy & Liver Support (combination formula)
Liquid Carnitine-PLUS
Energy for the body. A combination of L-Carnitine, which complements RLA's role in the production of energy, and L-Carntine Orotate, which promotes the reproduction of liver cells.
3. Lipoid Acid based cosmeceuticals
Anti-Aging Skin Cream
Rejuv Crème
Skin therapy. Deeply penetrating natural anti-aging skin cream promotes skin rejuvenation, increases elasticity and lessens the appearance of wrinkles and deeper lines with an all-star cast of antioxidants and cell rejuvenators.

Many consumers are worried if the use of compatible or aftermarket printing supplies will void their printer's warranty. The answer is no.
More simply put, this means that your printer warranty cannot be voided just because you choose to use compatible products unless the manufacturer can prove that the compatible product caused direct damage to your printer. In cases such as this, the manufacturer may choose not to repair your printer but your warranty would remain in effect for all other warranty issues.

H-Sonic is enhanced conceptual geometric design with maximum air experience, lightweight, and durable reinforcement construction. With biggest vent opening as possible, H-Sonic is designed and engineered to intake much air as possible. With H-Sonic's big ventilated effect, you are able experience maximum air intake with exhilarating feel of the air during the ride.
Wind Tunnel Tested
HJC is only one of very few helmet companies who are facilitated with its own state of the art wind tunnel testing laboratory to test the aerodynamics, ventilation, noise, and more. Across from technical adaptation of motorcycle race technology to high-end road cycle helmets, HJC wind tunnel test lab measures the constant force within the riding condition.
HJC helmet gives special attention to safety of riders during afterhours. Therefore we have applied highly visible reflective adhesives on the helmet. Since the helmet stands considerably high above the road, it is a good way to emit awareness with reflectivity.
Internal Reinforcement Structure
Embedded within the EPS is the engineered skeletal frame that is designed to bind the structure of the helmet together while at possible impact. Skeletal frame is not only to holds the helmet together while impact but also works as added impact support reinforcement making the helmet more rigid.
Advanced Air Channel System
Air channel is an optimal air passage that are shaped and designed within the inner surface of the helmet for maximum internal airflow. Depending on the riders speed, certain amount of air will travel inside the helmet by the frontal intake vent and through the inner air passage and out to exhaust vent. Optimal circulation of the air through the air channel helps to cool the head while in heated riding condition.
In-Mold Construction
In-Mold Construction is method of binding the EPS together with the outer polycarbonate shell to have more conformed strength in structure. By binding the shell and EPS together helps protection with compact reinforcement and gives clean finish appeal to the product.
All HJC helmets are integrated with special Polygiene Silver Salt (Silver Chloride) particles. Polygiene is an antimicrobial property, and this natural ingredient has the sufficient ability to eliminate bacteria and fungi growth. Polygiene prevents the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi at the source, permanently.

I'm getting ready for the Pathways weekend, May 1-4! I did Pathways back in 2000, and proceeded to get beyond my day job, take my show on the road and enjoy the many adventures you've seen here. Come join me and "change your life in a weekend."
I hung out in Lewisville, Texas for a couple of days, working on bringing the new computer up to speed, before dropping south to the Austin area, where I had an acting workshop at Lake Travis High School. The theatre was working on a production of "Tartuffe" (not mine, unfortunately), and I gave a two hour acting workshop, and then responded to a run-through of their performance.
The folks who put me up were great (their son wants to be an actor), and the girl playing Elmire wrote to say "I still can't believe we had the pleasure of getting your advice, probably the best we could hope for!"
And from the theatre teacher:
You were soooo helpful! We advanced yesterday with high praise from the judge, he loved us! AND, we won a ton of individual acting awards also!
(I have to include these unsolicited responses, just in case some producer reading this, is on the fence about hiring me … it's not bragging; it's marketing.)
From Lake Travis I drove west, with a night in El Paso, and continuing to Silver City, New Mexico, a good hour off of the beaten path of the interstate amid the mountains. The gig at Western New Mexico U had gotten cancelled in past semesters, but persistent follow up (Thanks April!) got the deal done.
The professor had neoclassical scenery already in place from a recent production. The small theatre space held about 80 in the audience, and the performance was very well received, as was an acting workshop that I gave for a much smaller group the next day. People were even buying t-shirts!
I was just getting ready to leave town when I noticed that Diana Jones, who I'd met in Tennessee, was performing in this same out-of-the-the way town, this same night. I stuck around and caught her show. She was, once again, excellent, and I particularly enjoyed her not-yet-published song about mountaintop removal. ("Appalacia")
It was a long drive to the next performance (in Seattle), and I went by way of Los Angeles, where I was promptly invited to Easter dinner by my new friend Edwina (where a friend of hers happened to know a friend of mine from High School (Kirsten Moomey) who I hadn't seen in 30 years!), visited with my old Nebraska friends, Mari Weiss and Crystal Carson (pictured), headed through Fresno, dropping in on Rogue Theatre Fest director, "Airplane Jayne", up through Oregon, dropping in on my brother, Pat and his family, and staying at David Yeaworth's house in Seattle, where we visited until late in the evening. I also got a chance to visit with my good friends, and fellow playwrights, Jorj Savage and Babs Lindsay (pictured).
Inglemoor High School was hosting me on a Saturday evening, which is pretty rare for a high school, so I was really surprised when a hundred or so students came out. The show was extremely well received, and the Tartuffe volunteer was a flirtatious minx, who, at one point, wrapped her leg around mine (out of sight of the camera, though you can hear the audience reacting (clip below)). The teacher sent a collection of student responses after the fact. Here's a very small fraction of them:
Thank you for coming to Inglemoor. You really helped me understand Moliere, I didn't understand it at all at first. You were really funny too. And I didn't think Moliere could be that entertaining, so THANKS!
Amanda Hall
Thank you so much for coming to Inglemoor and presenting Moliere! It was amazing and really entertaining! I enjoyed it so much! I really loved how you took skits that were written in 1600 and adapted them to make people (mainly teenagers) love it! I really think you are amazing at changing characters and an amazing actor!
Jessica Eberhardt
Your show was amazing. The way you made the plays your own was amazing and I LOVED when you came into the crowd! Great job.
Kierra Adams
I've never been to such a great show such as this. Amazing performance. It's crazy that you do a show like every night in places all over the states. You're an amazing actor and your interpretation is hilarious. Thanks for the show!
Alex Cotige
We don't normally get opportunities for events like this right at school, and it was a nice change. As for the performance, it was amazing! I was up front, and I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time.
Thomas Mooney-Meyers [No relation]
Thanks for coming to our high school and performing a great show. I can't think of any other way I would rather spend a Saturday night. The show was fabulous.
Noah Eakman
Thank you so much for performing for us! It was a great show and I laughed so hard. My favorite part was the "Stop Thief" part at the end. The whole show was amazing...

Whitworth University in Spokane had hosted me six years ago, when this tour first got underway. That time, they'd put me in their hundred-seat downstairs venue. This time around, they graduated me to the big space, with over a thousand seats. There was a fifteen-foot throw, just to the first row of seats, and we worked out the lighting so that I could abandon the stage to approach the first row, and remain lit.
My friend, Joe Jacoby, who teaches theatre across the Idaho border, brought 13 of his students to see the show, many of whom had seen bits of my workshops in Joe's classes in previous visits. Between them, and the Whitworth students who'd just performed "Tartuffe" there were great laughs throughout the show. One of the students from the previous show in Seattle, also happened to be a Whitworth student, and showed up to this show as well, asking me to autograph the t-shirt she'd bought, which in turn, gave a couple of Joe's students the idea to pick up their own.
The theatre professor, who'd actually missed my show six years before, wrote me later to say:
I love the show – your translations, editings, segues – all work so well and do such a nice job of introducing and honoring Moliere, his works, his intentions.
I proceeded to drive from Spokane to Chicago in three days (with a brief stop in Minneapolis, to check the venue I'll be performing at for the Minnesota Fringe) and visit with some Fringe friends, and then continued on to Rhode Island, where my next show was at Roger Williams University.
Meanwhile, a show got cancelled. Purchase College dropped me a note to indicate that they hadn't gotten any high schools to sign on to a show they'd booked for the coming week. This made for the fourth cancellation since the beginning of the Spring semester, making it perhaps the worst semester of the tour in that regard. (This was the low point of this tour, and I started formulating incentives and disincentives to put into the contract to encourage faculty to perform the necessary follow through.)
Roger Williams had tried to host me before, but I was always across the country somewhere when they'd tried to book me. It wasn't until after the Theatre Chair (who had wanted to book me previously) had retired, that they were actually able to work out a visit.
It turned out that only about twenty people showed up for the performance, which suggested to me that, though the retired Chair had put in a great word for the show, not everybody on the faculty was rallying behind the project. (Though my tech guy and one of the acting faculty were both enthusiastic.)
Volunteers were slow in coming, and eventually a somewhat older woman put her hand up, making for a much different scene than what we've seen in the past. (This pattern repeated in the very next show at Hofstra University.)
The next day, the retired chair wrote:
Terrific job last night! All those small nuances polished to perfection... and no nonsense, like hiding while doning wigs, surprising us with magical costume changes, etc. You were, in fact, just as fine and honest a performer as I supposed you'd be five or six years ago when I first hoped to employ you. ... But where were the 50 or so theatre majors? only Danya was there to represent them. I retired a year too early, I guess. BUT you didn't let that throw you; I was proud of your determination and cheered by your splendid performance.
With a couple days to spare, I dropped in on my friends, the Curtins, in New Jersey, and I introduced Dick Curtain to the Battlestar Gallactica dvd's that I was working my way through. (BG has just begun it's final season and I'm now caught up on episodes.)
I paused on my drive to Hofstra, to listen to a radio program, but when I went to start the car again, the battery was drained. I've had pretty good luck with my car over these six years of the tour, so I really don't resent when it gives me trouble. In point of fact, it was a beautiful day, and I had plenty of time to wait for Triple-A to send a truck to give me a jump. (I suspected that, with over 200,000 miles on the car, that I might actually need that AAA membership.)
Hofstra was hosting a conference on Humor in Romance Language Literature, and I did two morning workshops on Moliere, Theatre History and Commedia. That night there were practically 200 people in the audience, and the show was fun again. Afterwards, I posted video from both the "Tartuffe" scene and the "Doctor" scene on-line, and was surprised to see the numbers of "hits" to the Doctor scene climbing sharply. Within two days, over 100 people had viewed the video, and while it was fun, it wasn't particularly more salacious or hilarious than previous postings of the scene. Just to cover my tracks, I wrote to the host, asking him to get the volunteer's okay. (Just in case the student was reluctant to have her image posted, I didn't want the video to "go viral" until I had written confirmation.) She wrote me directly to say that she'd already noticed the video, and had pointed it out to a few of her friends (explaining the sudden rush of "hits"). (Yipes! It's already gotten over 1500 hits!)
This note from the workshop host to the fellow who'd coordinated the performance:
… His presentation had wit, wisdom, variety, and humor, and served the purposes of both my History of Drama class and my Intro to Theatre. His insights and comments on asides and soliloquies as well as his demonstration of commedia lazzi were very clear (and very funny), and both groups of students--when queried in Monday's classes—spoke positively of the experience.
I drove to Baltimore and hung out with my sister, Maureen, and her husband, Tim for a few days, and worked on editing new, shortened versions of my "The Misanthrope" and "Doctor in Spite of Himself," getting both of them down to 40 minutes, which I'll be sharing as an alternate publication with the folks at Playscripts, Inc, who are publishing my full-length versions of these plays.
Back north in New Jersey, I performed at Paramus Catholic High School. This one was arranged by the spouses of two good friends in the New York area, as the wife of playwright Michael T. Folie (whose plays I've produced twice in the past) teaches English, and the husband of my New York City stage manager, Suzanne DuCharme teaches Theatre, both at Parmaus. Everyone saw to it that I was well taken care of in my brief visit, but I found myself struggling through the course of the show. Among the four to five hundred or so students in attendance, there seemed to be only a handful of chaperones, and some students were chatting. (I was beginning to realize that rather than suggesting a certain ratio of chaperones in my "hosting hints," I need to put that up front in the contract.)
I used just about every trick in my bag, including pausing, staring down the vociferous students, talking quietly to make them listen, and then talking loudly to wake them up, but by the time I got to the last monologue, there was little attention left to be paid. Later on I looked at the video of the show, shot from behind the students by Lynn Curtin (who'd come to see the show for her third or fourth time), and I had to wince at the fact that a girl in the back row turned to talk with her friend as often as she watched what was going on onstage.
The "Tartuffe" sequence was, however, a big hit with the kids, probably too big. Although the scene is thick with double-entendre, it seems they were only hearing the words' secondary meanings. I did everything I could to pull the reins on this scene, even dropping out some of my favorite lines, just to prevent these Catholic students from turning the show into a riot of raging hormones.
That night I drove in to New York City, catching dinner with the hilarious Tom X. Chao, and enjoying the first preview of my friend Yvonne's new show, "The Devil and Tom Walker." (Somehow, it seems that every time I'm passing through New York, Yvonne has a show about to open.)
I headed southwest, where I look forward to wrapping up the spring tour at Centre College in Kentucky.
It will be good to get home again. And unpack the car.
Miles on the Vibe: 268,000
Temperature: Approaching mid-seventies
Discoveries: While I've tried to keep the performance contract as simple as possible in the past (I've prided myself in keeping it to a single page), it's probably time for me to make the demands I need to guarantee the best experience I can to the hosts, as well as guaranteeing my on ability to survive from semester to semester. This is not "being a diva" but ensuring the necessary conditions for the best experience possible.
On the i-pod: Podcasts of the Rachel Maddow Show
Next performance: Centre College, Danville, IL, April 24.

If your father is a musical legend, such as John Lennon, there is absolutely no doubt that you will be heavily influenced and sooner or later, you will want to purse his same footsteps, which is exactly what happened with singer/songwriter, Julian Lennon. He began to take an interest at the very early age of 10. He first started out by playing guitar and the drums and then later, in his teenage years, he experimented with piano, which he also became quite good at with time. And his first big break was being featured on his father's album "Walls and Bridges" on the track "Ya Ya".
He began to have more of a relationship with his father by the time he collaborated with him in 1974, allowing him to pursue his gifts as an artist further. But, unfortunately, in 1980, his father was murdered by a crazy fan, thus, ending their relationship. Julian though, was determined to continue his career as a musician despite his tragic loss. His first album, Valotte, was a massive hit. It even hit the top ten at the time. And his singles Valotte and Too Late for Goobyes became platinum by March 1985. Have a listen to it by clicking this link. This album got Julian nominated for Best New Artist, having people say that he sang much like his father, something we would assume he would be proud of but instead, just made him grow irritated.
The following year, he released another album entitled, "The Secret Value of Daydreaming", which featured a track that was certified gold called, "Stick Around," and that got to hit the top 40. Despite the fact that it was quite good, it did not receive the success his first album did. Those were not the only albums he took out. In total, he has released approximately six albums, all of them being really enjoyable.
Julian Lennon has always described himself as a "songsmith". He says that his top priority is to make music as were a marriage. Quite a passionate way to describe it. He explains in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine:
"Songs are a true marriage in that the musical content, lyrical and melodic, have to tell the same story independently, but once it's together it's a real marriage. That's when I get goose bumps. When I work on something, it has to have that effect on me. Otherwise it doesn't go anywhere – it doesn't leave the room."
His most recent album, "Everything Changes", involves some more modern productions, that he says he would have never thought of even using, which is what makes it more special. He explains that, while making this album, that one particular song was the one that gave him the typical adrenaline and goosebumps you would feel on stage. That drive to have him finish the album. The beautiful part of it all, is his connection with music itself. How his relationship could even be considered intimate with music. And that is what kept him going this entire time. Truly, it could be appreciated tens time more now.

A girl said to be one of the Chibok abductees has been seen with an AK-47 rifle in the latest video of the Boko Haram sect.
Ahmad Salkida, a journalist known to have access to top leaders of the insurgent group, released part of the video to Sahara Reporters.
Salkida had earlier disclosed the identity of the girl who spoke in the video.
"The Chibokgirl that spoke in the video today, holding an AK47 rifle is Maida Yakubu," Salkida tweeted.
The Chibokgirl that spoke in the video today, holding an AK47 rifle is Maida Yakubu.
— Ahmad Salkida (@ContactSalkida) May 12, 2017
In the video, a commander of the sect said to be Shuaibu Moni, who was among those released in exchange for 82 Chibok girls, interacted with the girls.
He said the girls were among those who said they do not want to be freed.
Zannah Mustapha, a lawyer who was among the mediators who facilitated the release of 82 girls, had said some of the abducted girls refused to be released, fuelling fears that they had been radicalised.
"These girls are among the Chibok girls that said they will not go back to their parents, they said they will stay and follow the religion of Allah. Now, we will ask them the reasons for their decision," Moni said in the video.
Below is their conversation:
Moni: What is your name? (One of the girls was asked)
Girl: My name is Maida Yakubu.
Moni: You are from which town?
Girl: Chibok
Moni: What are the name of your parents?
Girl: My mother's name is Esther Mutari and my father's name is Yakubu Kagu.
Moni: You are from which school?
Girl: GSS Chibok
Moni: What is your reason for refusing to go back to your parents?
Girl: The reason is that they live in the town of unbelievers (kafirchi). It is our desire that they come (and join us) to practice religion (Islam) so that we will all rest in paradise.
Moni: What is your reaction to claims by people that you were forced to marry? Is that so?
Girl: No, it is not so. Among us, those who wanted to marry freely made the decision without being forced.
Moni: What is your message to parents?
Girl: My message is that they should embrace Islam so that we can practice the religion of God and be saved.
Moni: What is your appeal to Nigerians?
Girl: My appeal to Nigerians is that they should avoid any book that is not for Allah, let them come and follow "kitabi wasinnah". Whether they like it or not the religion of Allah (Islam) will progress. If you reject it, go and die.
The question and answer session ended with Islamic recitation by the girls.

Special Report: Can H&M really claim 'ethical'?
Is H&M the new home of ethical fashion?
The world's second largest clothing retailer is trying to remake itself as a greener option. Lucy Siegle reports from Stockholm (this report originally appeared in guardian.co.uk)
H&M is not just a big player in "fast fashion", it's a giant. Estimates (fast fashion behemoths do not give out many production figures as the sector is intensely competitive) suggest it sells more than 550 million garments every year. It recently announced net quarterly profits of $412m. It is second only to Inditex, owner of Zara, as the world's largest clothing retailer. The great fast fashion war pits Sweden's richest man, Stefan Persson, chair of H&M, against Spain's richest man, Amancio Ortega, co-founder of Zara.
And now, in an audacious move, H&M is positioning itself as the ethical solution, the retailer that can make ethics and fast fashion synonymous. It wants to be an ethical giant, too. I say "audacious" because, to concerned consumers and activists, fast fashion's rapid-response production system, reliant on low-wage production in some of the poorest countries on Earth, is pretty much held responsible for environmental and social degradation in the global wardrobe. Indeed, having spent a large amount of time railing against it myself, it felt pretty audacious for me, too, to be sitting in the Stockholm headquarters of H&M last week.
The Observer was given early access to the brand's latest sustainability report that will be published on 12 April. Few corporate CSR reports are read so widely. From activists to analysts, everyone will be keen to see if H&M can really crack it. click here to read more

Sports Extra: Dissecting final touchdown for Carlinville
Jacob Dixon called it his worst pass he's ever thrown.
Brady Jamieson saw the ball was thrown short and made an adjustment.
It was third down and 10, the ball at the Williamsville 46-yard line. Just a tad over two minutes to play. Season on the line. Game tied.
Without getting a first down, the Cavaliers were likely to have punted back to Williamsville. The Bullets ground and air attack had been on their game all afternoon. Both offenses had knacks for striking quickly all game.
CHS senior quarterback Adam Walton took the snap from Jake Hannig, pitched the ball to Dixon along the right side of the line, and Dixon then did what he'd done just twice previously this season – attempt to throw down field.
The ball started out fluttering a bit down field, not at all a perfect spiral by any means. Meanwhile, Williamsville defender Patrick Hegland was in the area. He was providing tight coverage on Jamieson.
What happened next was one of the biggest plays of the Cavaliers season, and perhaps one of the top playoff moments in recent Cavalier football history.
Jamieson managed to somehow catch the game-winning touchdown pass on a halfback option Saturday afternoon against Williamsville in the Class 3A second round of the state football playoffs.
Cavaliers head football coach Chad Easterday said the team does practice the halfback option. Dixon had thrown two passes earlier in the season, both incomplete. The third time worked, however.
Dixon was clearly jubilant immediately after the play on the sideline, and after the hard-fought game, giving credit to fate or help from somewhere beyond the realm of possibility..
"I was getting hit, and I just threw it – worst pass I've ever thrown in my life," Dixon said. "Brady made a great play. I still have no idea how that got through. I sat back there for a second and said 'Did he just score a touchdown?' I have no idea how it got in there."
Jamieson adjusted and made the catch as Blake Richardson blocked Hegland from making a potential tackle on Jamieson.
"I was surprised it was in my hands," Jamieson said. "I just ran, and I saw it was short so I tried to cut off the defender. Next thing you know it hits his shoulder pad and its in my hands. But meeting everyone down in the end zone, it was something I can't believe."
Perhaps they'll believe it when they line up opposite unbeaten Newton on the road Saturday afternoon.
The season will again be on the line, but getting past the second round of the playoffs for the first time, this group of seniors have the playoff football experience to maintain their composure under the most stressful of circumstances.
And for those Cavies players and fans who are Cub fans, what a week it has been, indeed.
In the words of the great Harry Caray, "Holy Cow."
cutline: Photo 8275: Jacob Dixon is beyond belief on the sideline during the fourth quarter Saturday, after throwing a go-ahead touchdown with two minutes left to Brady Jamieson.

SPARTA � Further spreading its Sussex County footprint, Aqua America announced that it recently purchased Summit Lakes municipal water system from Sparta Township for $10,000.
By GREG WATRY
SPARTA � Further spreading its Sussex County footprint, Aqua America announced that it recently purchased Summit Lakes municipal water system from Sparta Township for $10,000.
The system serves about 225 people in Stockholm.
Aqua America Chairman Nicholas DeBenedictis said in a statement: �Our New Summit Lake customers will benefit from the economies of scale that result from our operations in four other nearby communities in Sussex County. It is also close to Sussex Borough, where we were recently cited as the successful bidder for their water and wastewater system assets.�
The company offered the Sussex Borough $11.38 million for the water/sewer utility. The decision of the sale is scheduled for a November voter referendum.
The acquisition of the Summit Lakes system was announced on Friday.
In Sussex County, Aqua serves customers in parts of Fredon, Vernon, Hardyston and Green, said Donna Alston, a communications manager with Aqua.
The specific assets include Vernon Water Co., Wallkill Water & Sewer Co. in Hardyston, Bear Brook Water & Sewer in Fredon and Tranquility Springs Water in Green.
Sparta Mayor Molly Whilesmith said the sale price was based on an appraisal value of the utility.
She said it was not cost effective or efficient for the township to run, maintain and service the utility based purely on its geographic location.
She added that the township needs to focus on customers from Sparta.
According to Whilesmith, Sparta's utility has 6,500 service connections and serves about 20,000 customers.
The Summit Lakes customers may be better serviced by a water company, rather than the township, she said.
The sale process to Aqua began on July 9, 2013, Whilesmith said.
Summit Lakes is the seventh acquisition completed by Aqua America regulated subsidiaries this year.

Skip to comments.'Godfather' Cinematographer Gordon Willis Dies at 82
Posted on 05/19/2014 8:55:15 AM PDT by EveningStar
Gordon Willis, the acclaimed cinematographer behind the Godfather trilogy and such Woody Allen films as Annie Hall, Manhattan, Broadway Danny Rose and Zelig, has died. He was 82.
(Excerpt) Read more at hollywoodreporter.com ...
WOW the texture and feel of the first 2 Godfather movies were more than superb. The industry lost an artistic geniius.
Agree - two of the finest films ever made.
Photographed Woody Allen's Manhattan too.
the Godfather I and II are my favorite movies of all time... i pretty much combine them as my favorite movie of all time... love the scenes with Robert De Niro and Bruno Kirby as young Vito and Clemenza...
A real genius behind the camera. 'Cinematography' these days too often consists of computer generated effects (see the cinematography Oscar for 'Gravity' this year). Looks like Willis faded out along with the film medium he loved.
Excellent Story, NO CGI, and superior acting.
One year a cable channel mixed and matched the 2 films in cronological order. It was a seemless 4 1/2 hour movie. Awesome.
From the article:
He was given the nickname The Prince of Darkness by fellow cinematographer Conrad Hall for his daring use of using as little light as possible.
Willis was on the leading edge of a new wave of cinematographers in the 1970s who were changing film in radical ways. In The Godfather, he masked Marlon Brando's eyes to conceal his thoughts from the audience.
"I still can't believe the reactions," he said in an interview with the ASC before he received their highest honor. "People said, 'You can't see his eyes (Brando's).' Well, you didn't see his eyes in 10 percent of the movie, and there was a reason why. I remember asking, 'Why do you have to see his eyes in that scene? Based on what?' Do you know what the answer was? 'That's the way it was done in Hollywood.' That's not a good enough reason. There were times when we didn't want the audience to see what was going on in there (Brando's eyes), and then suddenly (snaps his fingers), you let them see into his soul for a while."
One of the giants in his field. RIP.

How do you divide property if theres no will?
One cannot transfer real estate verbally in Georgia, so the giving of the land to your brother was not enforceable. When there is no Will, the property of the person who passed away would be divided "per stirpes".
What that means, in very broad terms, and without taking into account exceptions which may exist, and given the fact that there were 5 kids, when your first parent passed away, the surviving parent would be entitled to 1/3 of the estate, and the rest would be divided between the deceased parent's children. When the second parent passed away, the 1/3 he or she received from the first parent, along with any property the second parent had when they passed, would be divided between the children of the second parent equally. If one of the children passed away, as your sister did, her share would go to her children or grandchildren if she had no children. If she had no descendants, her share would go likely go to her remaining descendants.
Please note that this is complicated, and there are exceptions (such as property held as joint tenants with rights of survivorship), but can be easily sorted out in person where a lawyer can ask you more specific questions. There is also a method by which you and your other siblings could possibly agree to give your brother the property your father verbally said was his, should the rest of you choose to do this.
Call a local probate attorney and go over all of the facts with them. They can answer this quickly and easily and, as you can see from my response, this is something which can be explained verbally in person alot easier than here.

Discussion in 'Landscape & Cityscape' started by KenCo, Jun 1, 2006.
The white box thing in the water is a sign that reads, "danger deep water".
Heehee, along with the fact that this (as always!) is a very good photo, Ken, I like the title chosen for it. This one really suggests the title. Very nice. Have you had such lovely weather of late?
Is there any hope for us then, maybe?
Say yes. Please! Say yes!
I love it...
Personally I would shop out the sign, but it does not distract from the shot.
nice one.
i think it would also look great as a panaramic
Thanks for the comments guys.
Thanks! I had thought of cloning it out but not really that confident with the clone tool, so it's something I tend not to do unless it was small and really needed.....but at the end of the day it was just laziness.
Thanks again much appreciated.
I'm diggin this one ken, like the different layers of colour..... good capture :thumbup:
Actually...try using the Spot Heal tool for this. It is the perfect application for it. The Spot Heal tool takes out whatever is selected and fills in the selcetion with an "average" of the surroundings.
It is great for items surrounded by water, power lines in the trees or air, etc...
Just select a brush slightly bigger than the image to be removed...cover the item to be removed (give it a bit of border)...and let PS do its thing.
I did one pass for you in the pic below. I might have touched it up a bit more (i.e., burn tool to get the shadows of the reflection to match above...but you get the idea.
Hope this helps
Thanks, I'll remeber that as I tend to suffer when it comes to power lines....
never used the spot healing tool before and will certainly give it a go.
Thanks for taking the time.
Very nice ken :thumbup:
I really like this image. Love the light, the colour of the grass, and the fences/sheep in the background
Wow. is there anything photoshop doesnt do?
Regardless of the alteration, it's a beautiful photo. Looks like a fantastic landscape.
It doesn't make espressos to my dismay
Other than that...I have seen paintings done completely on PS from scratch... It can do pretty much anything.
Separate names with a comma.

Every day I have the misfortune of meeting lawyers who, it seems to me, hate their jobs.
They complain about clients, administration, fees, management, human resources, marketing, and pretty much everything that legal practice is about. It seems to me that they must be confused – because I enjoy every minute of every day.
But looking at it, I can't help but wonder: why are they a lawyer at all?
So What is it YOU want?
Here's what I think has happened to many: they went to school, got good enough marks either in senior school or initially at Uni and thought: hey – being a lawyer would be cool. So they enroll in law, work their butts off, get a job (hopefully) and work a few years.
At which point they come to a startling revelation: They have no Earthly idea what the point of all this is.
What's happened is that they have never actually sat back and done a bit of deep thinking about their career – what do they want to be, what do they want to achieve, and how are they going to get there. As a result, they never have a sense of fulfillment, because they didn't know what they were trying to achieve in the first place. They can't set goals, because they're too busy turning up to work and going through the motions.
Stop Going Through the Motions
If you haven't figured out your purpose yet then you need to. How can you aspire to something that you can't see?
So stop.
Take a break.
Think about your career and your underlying motivation. Picture what kind of lawyer you want to be in 1, 2, 5 or 10 years. I don't mean "I want to be a partner" – I think we can do a bit better than that.
Are you a litigator, a deal maker, a power broker, a schmoozer, an ambulance chaser, an advocate, a fighter, a people person, an introvert, an expert, a motivator? The list could go on forever.
It doesn't matter if you're a student or a lawyer – you've got to have something to aspire to. It doesn't mean your happiness is derived from that goal, but it helps give you context and purpose.
Me? Well, I want to be the kind of lawyer the gets the best out of other lawyers. I want to have a team of passionate people around me who are motivated to improve themselves and their practice every day. I want to be excited about going to work, about writing these articles, and about speaking to people about these issues. I want to be someone that people listen to.
Am I there yet? Maybe not. But I'm doing my best to get there, with that person in my mind. My vision may change, and that's fine.
So What about you?
I've shared, and now it's your turn.
What kind of lawyer do you want to be? Once you've figured it out – write it down. Tell me in the comments so that your vision can be articulated. Once it's there, you've got something to aim for.
Happy lawyering!

OPRA: Private Citizen vs. City Official. Why You Can

OPRA: Private Citizen vs. City Official.
Why You Can't Play on Both Sides of the Fence
04/02/2008 by Ed Mecka, emecka.com
For several years, Hoboken Community Activist Beth Mason has been in the forefront advocating "transparency" in government. Mason and I, along with eleven Hoboken citizens, were founding members of People for Open Government, a Hoboken-based civic organization dedicated to campaign finance reform, ethics, OPRA, public access and other open government issues.
In addition, Mason serves as the president of the New Jersey Foundation for Open Government which seeks to increase transparency, accountability, honesty and democracy in government at all levels by defending and expanding public access to government records and meetings. Mason, as a private citizen, built a reputation across the State as a leader in government reform.
On July 1, 2008, Mason's political status changed from "private citizen" to "government official" when she was sworn into political office representing Hoboken's Second Ward as "Councilwoman Beth Mason." With several "private citizen" initated OPRA lawsuits against the City of Hoboken still pending in the Courts, Councilwoman Mason now finds herself in the political quagmire of suing herself as a Hoboken government Official.
Without getting into the merits of the lawsuits, Mason has been accused of costing the taxpayers extensive legal bills while at the same time having the responsibility of protecting taxpayer monies. In his February 24, 2008 "letter to the editor" of a weekly local newspaper, Hoboken Corporation Counsel STEVE KLEINMAN voiced his opinon on Mason's OPRA lawsuits against the Hoboken.
At the March 5, 2008 Hoboken City Council meeting MASON made a public statement in response to KLEINMAN's letter. After Mason's statement, City Officials and fellow City Council members chastised Mason for continuing the OPRA lawsuits against the City.
Despite recent press accolades, Mason's effectiveness as an elected city official is overshadowed by the constant public reminders of the cost of the lawsuits to the Hoboken taxpayer.
As a private citizen, Beth Mason was well within her rights to utilize OPRA (Open Public Records Act) in her quest for government records and seek redress in the Courts if the City failed to comply with her OPRA request. The Court action is designed to allow a "detached" magistrate to review the government's reasons for withholding the information in accordance with New Jersey OPRA statutes, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.
As a "government official" and a member of the Hoboken's City Government's Legislative Branch, there is no doubt that Mason is entitled access to Hoboken government records. But Mason, or "any other public official," has to understand that with privileged government access comes accountable for compliance with OPRA dissemination statutes with respect to "legally protected" information.
Although the Hoboken Administration offered to make all records, including "legally protected" information, available upon the request of a "majority" of the City Council, the Council took no action on Mason's behalf. Until there is a consensus between Mason, the City Council, and the City Administration, expect nothing to change.
If the City continues to refuse Mason access, expect protracted lawsuits and continued legal bills. On the other hand, Mason (or any other City Council member) having unabated access has the potential of exposing the City to legal liabilities should there be an illegal dissemination. In both cases, it will be the taxpayer who will pay the legal bills.
During my law enforcement career, I had the opportunity to work within the police department's "criminal records" and "internal affairs" unit. Both offices collected and maintained confidential "legally protected" information and were staffed by both police and civilian personnel. In both instances, the office staff received training with respect to confidentiallity, dissemination, and the potential of criminal prosecution for State Law violations.
Corporation Counsel Kleinman and the Roberts Administration need to establish policy and procedures that allow City Council members access to records maintained by the City of Hoboken. That policy should include a mandate that any public official or City employee handling government records receive OPRA related training with respect to confidentallity, dissemination, and the potential of criminal prosecution for State Law violations.
Information Requests by City Council members:
- Routine record requests that, in the opinon of Hoboken Corporation Counsel, do not have the potential of exposing the City and/or requestor to dissemination liabilities should continue to be made available to all City Council members.
- Record requests that, in the opinion of Hoboken Corporation Counsel, create a legal concern/liability for illegal dissemination of "lawfully protected information" should be made available only to City Council members who have attended a "government official" OPRA training seminar. The content of the seminar should ensure that the "record requestor" fully understands his/her liabilities as a government official with respect to OPRA and the dissemination of public records. Upon completion and documentation of the government oriented OPRA training, the liability for dissemination will fall on the shoulders of the person illegally disseminating the records.
Hoboken Corporation Counsel may also want to consider a written "information request and tracking" policy with procedures designed to document illegal dissemination and facilitate criminal investigation of Official Misconduct, N.J.S.A. 2C: 30-2.
The Government Records Council makes training opportunities available for records custodians and other public officers and employees which explain the law governing access to government records. The public is always welcome to attend these training sessions.
These training sessions are generally held in the 21 counties of the State for municipal clerks and other local and county government officials who participate in the process of fulfilling Open Public Records Act requests. Additionally, training sessions are made available to state records custodians and officials who participate in the process of fulfilling Open Public Records Act requests. Please check the training schedule for dates and times.
Transparency in government is a delicate balancing act between the people's right to know and privacy issues.OPRA, the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, attempts to strike such a balance.
In the final analysis, if an elected City Official deems "unfiltered" record access as a necessary tool to do their job, they should be accommodated as long as they are fully aware of the laws and penalties governing that request.

Liberal academia strikes again.
Via Daily Caller:
A Virginia middle school teacher recently forced his students to support President Barack Obama's re-election campaign by conducting opposition research in class against the Republican presidential candidates.
The 8th grade students, who attend Liberty Middle School in Fairfax County, were required to seek out the vulnerabilities of Republican presidential hopefuls and forward them to the Obama campaign.
"This assignment was just creepy beyond belief — like something out of East Germany during the Cold War," one frustrated father, who asked for his family to remain anonymous, told The Daily Caller.
The assignment was for students to research the backgrounds and positions of each of the GOP candidates for president and find "weaknesses" in them, the parent explained. From there, students were to prepare a strategy paper to exploit those weaknesses and then to send their suggestions to the Obama campaign.

Audition Log: Musicals Galore
In the last few days I've had auditions for 2 brand new musicals being produced in New York City. I got both auditions by submitting my materials via email, then received audition requests within a week or two after that.
The first one was for a musical revue involving the devil and 3 of his right-hand women. So, I chose two wildly different songs to show my range, and I also was asked to do a monologue. When I gave my music to the accompanist, I commented that the acoustics of the room seemed really great. he responded, "Oh, I think it is rather gloomy in here." Okay... not a good way to start. I began the first song, and it was obvious that the accompanist was having trouble with my music. Ultimately, this was fine because I was really familiar with it so it didn't throw me off. When we finished, the accompanist apologized and I said, "Don't worry- we're a team and we did fine!" (I wanted to make sure this producer knew that I was a team player and easy to work with, even when things were not going as well as expected- hiccups at the piano can really cost you a gig.) The good news was that the producer asked me for a 2nd headshot/resume, which made me feel great and I sang very, very well.
The second audition was for the Prospect Theater Company and was pretty cut and dry. I showed up, did my thang, and left. This was a cabaret style musical but with non-traditional music, so I came in with a couple of pieces that matched the style of the show and did what I could with them. What was most impressive was the audition facility, which was the Manhattan Theater Club offices (apparently they rented the space.) It was kind of incredible to be waiting in the lobby looking at huge photographs of current and past Broadway shows. In a way it made me feel very small, because (holy crap!) these are the best of the best and I am in awe! But at the same time it made me realize how close I really am to having everything that I have been working for, and it was humbling and exciting at the same time.
If I am called back for one of these shows I will probably know in the next few days. If not, I won't be notified at all. No bother- I still have many, many auditions coming up so I cannot pause for even a second to contemplate the "what if"s. That's kind of the nice thing about New York- there is so much going on you don't have time to give in to your neurosis'!

Calls for Irish Water to delay works on Clanbrassil Street and Bridge Street until 2017
Rehabilitation Works
Fianna Fáil TD for Louth and East Meath Declan Breathnach has called on Irish Water to delay the works planned on the water main rehabilitation project in Bridge Street / Clanbrassil Street, Dundalk until 2017 when the rejuvenation and refurbishment of the area is due to commence.
"I have had calls from a number of business owners in the Clanbrassil Street area of Dundalk, Co. Louth about a notification they received from Irish Water dated 30th August informing them of commencement of works starting from middle to late September."
"They are concerned that these works will drag on and will be very disruptive to business in the busiest trading quarter of the year. The works will involve traffic management, diminished access to premises and will put people off coming to the area to shop."
"I have asked Irish Water to consider delaying the commencement of these works so that they could be carried out at the same time as the planned refurbishment of Clanbrassil Street. There is a rejuvenation scheme planned for the whole area which has been approved for funding and which is due to commence in 2017."
"It would make sense to execute the water main rehabilitation project in conjunction with these works so as to lessen the disturbance and impact on affected business owners."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Central New Mexico Community College has launched a major effort to make its campuses more environmentally friendly by adding new photovoltaic panels and entering a coast-to-coast recycling competition with other colleges and universities.
The competition, called the RecycleMania Tourney, involves 600 schools in the United States and Canada. Officially, it got underway Sunday when CNM installed new recycle bins around its campuses, but the big test began in earnest on Monday when thousands of students, faculty, administrators and workers descended on campuses.
The contest will continue for two months. Each week, the amount of material recycled from all CNM locations will be weighed by Waste Management and reported to RecycleMania, which will compare it with other schools. The grand prize will be a trophy made entirely of recycled materials.
"We're hopeful that RecycleMania will help our students, faculty and staff get even more excited about the impact they can have on protecting the environment and increasing sustainability," said Luis Campos, executive director of the CNM physical plant. "RecycleMania will provide benchmarks for our recycling efforts, but this is only the start of a larger effort."
The larger effort includes:
⋄ Installing photovoltaic solar panels at Ken Chappy Hall on the main campus, the Westside I Building, the Rio Rancho campus building and the Workforce Training Center. Besides producing power, the units will serve as "living labs." For example, chemistry instructors can use them to teach students how materials in the panels generate power, while math instructors can have students practice equations relating to the energy produced by the solar panels.
⋄ Initiating a new software program called the Sustainability Tracking and Rating System that will allow the college to record and benchmark its sustainability efforts. STARS will also let the CNM community view the information and work together to pinpoint strengths and determine areas for improvement.
⋄ Hiring a consulting company, EcoMotion, to help plan and track sustainability initiatives.
⋄ Designating a faculty member from the School of Math, Science & Engineering, Carol Martinez, to obtain information on what instructors are doing in the classroom related to sustainability.
The total cost, excluding the solar panels, was $22,000. Information on the panels was not available.
Halfway through RecycleMania, a day's worth of trash will be piled high on the main campus to create "Mount Trashmore." Service Learning students in protective clothing will sort through the trash, separating recyclables to demonstrate the amount that ends up in landfills instead of recycling plants.
During a trial run of the competition for the week ending Jan. 11, Waste Management reported that CNM generated nearly 45,000 pounds of waste, including some 25,000 pounds of recyclables.
Of 85 schools involved in the trial run, CNM placed 19th, CNM spokesman Brad Moore said.

With the announcement of the next-gen iPhone just weeks away, Walmart have taken it upon themselves to lower the price of the soon-to-be-replaced 16GB iPhone 3GS to a borderline bargain basement price of only $97 on a two-year contract.
There isn't really much more to say on this one. If you're looking for a cheap, functional smartphone on AT&T, you can't really go wrong with this deal. Unless you dislike Apple of course. Or can't handle the thought of impending obsolescence. Or whatever.
I'm sure you know what you're doing.
