Try My *** Easy 7-Day Meditation Kick Start Program *** for 3 weeks
If you don't see your path to being More Focused and Feeling Better, I will Refund Your Investment – NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
Stop allowing monkey mind to rob you of the stability you need to create joy and Abundance in all areas of your life!
Dear Noble Life Journeyer,
Our lives today are complicated as we take on more roles and added responsibilities as parents, caregivers, community members, business owners and as people who genuinely care about the people in our lives. We extend ourselves til we are spread thin, like a tightly stretched rubber band!
And have you noticed that in our increasingly complex world, relationships have been getting messier?
I know that at times I begin to beat myself up about this – thinking I'm a failure at life, a failure at loving people, a failure at making money, a failure at running my business, and the list continues to spiral down. I completely lose sight of all the good stuff I'm doing and the beautiful things I'm bringing to improve people's lives. Does any of this sound familiar to you?
I've thought about this… when life spins out of control, it feels awful!
And in fact, it goes back even before that – if we allow our MIND to spin out of control, then everything is going to look topsy turvy, and then we start making decisions from that place… and that's how we create a life that is spinning out of control!
Well, the solution to this mind control problem isn't new – we have all heard about meditation and how powerful a method it is to calm the mind. Think about it… with a calm mind you can have one highly productive day after another because you are calm, centered and focused!
I know this, because I started meditating daily again four weeks ago, and I've had the most AMAZING start to 2013 with consistent highly productive days! Would you like to experience this too?
And the benefit of a calm mind doesn't stop there! We all know that life throws us curve balls – sometimes big ones. And it only make sense that a calm mind deals better than a scattered, scared mind with life's disruptions. In meditation circles they say that meditation builds in a shock absorber to go over the bumps of life more easily – without the jarring shakeups. Does this sound interesting?
And what about relationships? If you are dealing with relationships from a reactive place, you will likely snap at people, make snap decisions, and basically disrupt the loving environment that relationships need to grow. Meditation is a way of working with your mind, to calm it, and you will begin to feel a comfortable buffer zone around you when you are dealing with people in all situations. That comfort zone makes it much easier to make proactive decisions and create the joyful and loving relationships that you want! Wouldn't you love to create love in this practical way for yourself?
And incidentally, meditation empowers you to deal better with bullies. By getting synchronized within yourself, you are able to hear your own warning bells early in the game. Since meditation helps you get your wits about you, you can deal proactively when those warning bells go off –> Tell the person where you are drawing the line – and then honour that line yourself! Wouldn't you love to protect yourself like this?
Well, here's the big question…
How important is it to you to create a shift like this in your life?

From the Washington Times:
Democrats backed off of their effort Tuesday to offer a "Trayvon amendment" to pressure states to drop their stand-your-ground laws…
Rep. Keith Ellison, Minnesota Democrat, said he will still try to force a debate at a more "appropriate" time in the future…
The Ellison amendment would have docked federal criminal justice grants to states that have stand-your-ground laws, which allow residents to use deadly force to respond to an attack without first having to retreat.
Ellison is Brady endorsed, so he's just earning his keep by parroting their propaganda. But then he said something I agree with:
"Shoot-first laws make prosecutions harder because they presume the use of deadly force is reasonable."
He's right: Shoot-first laws are a bad thing. It's a good thing we don't have any such laws in America.
What we have are laws that enable a victim to use deadly force to save their life, or the lives of other victims, when confronted with a violent attack.
We have self-defense laws based upon the "reasonable man" theory, and if a shooter doesn't fall within those criteria, he can be prosecuted.
Ellison chose to accept Brady's hallucinatory world where people can shoot without justification, but pushing this on the rest of us is—well—an attack.

MetaGlossary defines aerotrekking as long distance low level flying, following the contours of the earth in open cockpit weight shift aircraft. While nap of the earth flying has been around since the beginning of aviation, it is best known in military aviation circles where pilots fly at extremely low levels to avoid being shot down by the enemy. Here outside of Rodeo in the 1200 square miles of the New Mexican boot heel is the perfect area for low level flying and the military knows this too. It is not uncommon for jets to come screaming down Cave Creek Canyon and out into the valley, much to the chagrin of the local residents. In fact 2 military operations areas cover the north and south parts of the valley
Weight shift pilots have been nap of the earth flying for years, one of the guilty pleasures. The advantage weight shift control aircraft have over fixed wing aircraft is the second energy management system, especially useful in case of engine failure. By pulling in on the control bar the carriage swings forward, the angle of attack is reduced and energy is stored. Of course a higher power setting is required to maintain altitude but if the engine quits the pilot can allow the control bar to return to trim. The excess stored energy is then converted into altitude providing extra time for a landing decision.
Flying low over open terrain is fun but does require a sharp eye for obstacles, equipment that is good condition, and practice. Several videos, Learning to Aerotrek and Learning to Aerotrekk II Open Terrain address learning how to Aerotrekk.

AMC Theatres and Fever Productions announced an exclusive partnership on the national theatrical release of the highly anticipated horror/thriller film SMILEY from director Michael Gallagher ("Totally Sketch"). Beginning Oct. 12, AMC will exclusively release the film theatrically through its AMC independent platform on 28 screens in 14 markets including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston and Atlanta. The release will also be supported by a marketing campaign from AMC.
SMILEY, co-written by YouTube sensation Gallagher and Glasgow Phillips ("South Park"), and produced by Michael Wormser ("Some Guy Who Kills People") of Level 10 Films, has an enormous fan base to call on. Gallagher and his YouTube partners on "Totally Sketch," as well as the other performers in the film including Shane Dawson ("Shane Dawson's TV") and Toby Turner ("The Annoying Orange"), have over 11 million subscribers, 2.2 billion views and 4 million plus fans on Facebook/Twitter combined. The trailer has accumulated over 15 million views since its debut.
The deal was brokered by Michael Gallagher and Michael Wormser for Fever Productions and Nikkole Denson-Randolph, Vice President of Alternative and Special Content at AMC.
In addition to the AMC release, the film will be available on more traditional platforms including DVD, Blu-Ray, iTunes, Redbox and cable VOD after the traditional theatrical release window has closed.
"We are very proud to partner with AMC through the AMC independent program for the theatrical release of SMILEY. Nikkole and the entire AMC team have been tremendous partners in bringing the film to theaters, all across the nation. SMILEY is a truly independent film and AMC independent has created an unprecedented opportunity for filmmakers like myself to bring their films to mainstream audiences, without a middleman. This exciting partnership gives us the chance to deliver a thrilling, interactive moviegoing experience for the fans, just in time for Halloween," said director Gallagher.
"We're excited to partner with Michael Wormser, Michael Gallagher and Fever Productions as we help bring this movie, which continues to gather a growing interest, to a wider audience," said Denson-Randolph.
SMILEY is the story of the film follows a mentally fragile college student named Ashley (Caitlin Gerard from "Magic Mike" and "The Social Network") who, after learning of an urban legend in which a mysterious serial killer named "Smiley" can be summoned through the Internet, must decide whether she is losing her mind or becoming Smiley's next victim. SMILEY also stars Melanie Papalia ("Endgame") and Andrew James Allen ("Make It or Break It"), with Roger Bart ("Desperate Housewives"), Keith David ("The Thing") and Liza Weil ("Scandal") rounding out the cast.

A combination of nanotechnology with the networking technologies can completely change the world. But does the world want to be changed?
The NanoTech Network
Science Fiction novel by Alexander Lazarevich

Foreword to the preliminary English version
Foreword to the preliminary English version
What I present here is a preliminary text of the English translation of a novel that was originally written in Russian and published on the Russian version of my web-page in August 1997. Since then it has spread throughout the Russian-speaking world, was included in the majority of the on-line libraries of Russian science-fiction and CD-ROM collections of texts. I probably must explain here that Russian attitudes towards making works of literature freely available on-line are much more liberal as compared with the West. Not only most of the Russian writers don't mind when their works are freely available in electronic form, they actually consider this a good advertising, the idea being that after a reader has looked through a novel on a computer screen or has read it printed out on loose pages, he might want to go to a book shop and buy a nicely bound book that he can put on his bookshelf. At least that's the rationale put forward by compilers of numerous CD-ROM text collections, who never pay a penny to the authors whose texts they use. Despite the enormous amount of advertising through electronic circulation that the Russian version of "The Nanotech Network" has been enjoying for the last year or so, I still haven't received any proposals from "real" publishers (by "real" I mean those publishers who pay royalties to their authors), so I'm beginning to doubt the validity of the above rationale. But on the other hand, the subject matter of the NanoTech Network is such that it would be a little embarrassing for me to receive money for ideas about the coming moneyless society. I feel that this kind of ideas must be made available to the world free of charge. But still on another hand, the brave new world of NanoTech has not yet arrived and won't arrive for quite some time I guess, while the author has to somehow survive in the today's imperfect world where money is still a very important aspect of life.
That's why, although I decided to make the English version available free-of-charge in electronic form, I still reserve for myself the rights to the publication of a "real" book and possible screen adaptations. You are encouraged to copy the electronic text of "The NanoTech Network" to diskettes, print out hard copies and give them to your friends for free. But if you start selling these copies for money without sharing the proceeds with me, I shall consider this an infringement of my copyright, and take appropriate steps.
And now a few words about why I prefer to call this text "English version" rather then "translation". Although all the ideas that were in the original Russian version are still there, it is not exactly a word-for-word translation. In a few places I had to add short explanations about some aspects of Russian life or Russian language that are generally unknown to a reader from abroad. I deleted references to the titles of a couple of Soviet movies that don't say anything to a non-Russian reader anyway and would have been an unnecessary distraction. And, surprisingly enough, I even found and corrected a few errors in the original Russian version, so the English version is actually in some respects better than the original (as a curious example of such an error I could cite the expression "cold thermonuclear fusion" that can be found in the Russian version. Only when I tried to translate that into English did I realize that it's either "cold" or "thermo", but not both!).
But since English is not my mother tongue, I believe that there must be lots of mistakes in the English version that I can't even notice however hard I read and re-read the text. I can only suspect that there must be quite many instances of incorrect use of the articles ("a" and "the") and tenses. Some words may look to a native English-speaker to be too colloquial, or, to the contrary, too bookish and formal, for this or that situation described in the book. That's why I consider the current text of the English version as preliminary. I hope that native speakers of English won't hesitate to send me their suggestions as to how this translation could be improved via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com
I plan to incorporate such suggestions into the final version which eventually I hope to publish on my home page (http://webcenter.ru/~lazarevicha) .

How many times have you picked up a book and had so many feelings and reactions while reading it, that you just wanted to share them with the next reader? Look no further than The Margin Project! The Margin Project is something done at many public and school libraries, as well as being championed by writer Jen Malone (find out more about her here). The Margin Project is a great way to bring aspects of social media to reading, thus socializing books!
I am currently in the process of starting The Margin Project for the teens at my library. I selected 30 books, including fiction and nonfiction, to be a part of this collection. This is a great way to showcase certain titles, including award books likes those on YALSA's Awards and Selected Lists. I was sure to include some of 2017's Abraham Lincoln and Rebecca Caudill nominees, to encourage reading those as well. This collection will be specifically labeled so readers know they are able to write in them! Each reader can write using their own pen color and/or symbol to distinguish themselves. From there the sky's the limit!
Readers can underline their favorite quotes, draw an arrow and write "Pay attention to this!", draw pictures, write questions, and so much more. I believe that this will also be passive Readers' Advisory, and will help readers pick new books. If they enjoyed the opinion of a fellow participant in The Margin Project, they may look to see what other books they have read, written in, and loved.
Participants may also take pictures of and share their writings on social media. The Margin Project is prominent on Pinterest and the hashtag can be found on Instagram and Twitter. This passive program is a great way to bridge the gap between technology and books. This is also a fun way to create a book club. It is great for teens that may not enjoy speaking in large groups, or are unable to attend a regular book club due to scheduling. Creating a book club out of this could be done by circulating 12 titles and having each member alternately read them each month.
There are so many different ways that The Margin Project can impact not only the library's collection, but the library's patrons. By seeing which books are popular, it helps with future book selections. This also gives different patrons the ability to communicate with each other when they may not have otherwise. It brings new life to reading and annotating books!
Have any of you participated in The Margin Project at your library or school library? What were your experiences?
-Tegan Anclade, currently reading Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers

Cerebro Oculo Dento Auriculo Skeletal Syndrome
Cerebro Oculo Dento Auriculo Skeletal (CODAS) Syndrome is a rare set of birth defects, or a syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by delayed psychomotor (connecting thoughts with movement) development, abnormally shaped teeth, delayed teeth eruption, clouded vision (cataracts), hearing loss, short stature, over-folded or crumpled ears, delayed bone age, and spine and pelvic abnormalities. Treatment depends on the specific birth defects present and may require many different specialists including: neurologists, ophthalmologists, and geneticists. CODAS affects less than one in 1,000,000 people and is autosomal recessive which means an individual must have two copies of the changed gene that causes the condition. A person with one changed gene would be a carrier of the condition but will not have any symptoms. If both parents are carriers, their children have a one in four chance of having the disease.

Officials have confirmed that no one sustained any injuries and those inside the Gymkhana were rescued successfully.
While the cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained, officials are of the opinion that there is a chance of it being caused due to a stray firecracker from the Diwali celebrations at Marine Drive.
Around eight fire engines and as many tankers were deployed to the scene at around 12:30 am. Effors to control and douse the flame went on till 2.30 am.
Firemen who are still checking the extent of damage to the heritage structure said that it will take some time before they can comment on the losses and that the work is still going on.
Speaking to mid-day, fire officials said that they are investigating whether the fire was caused due to firecrackers.

Additional Divisional Fire Officer, K F D'souza from Nariman Point Fire Department, said, "There was too much traffic on Marine Drive, due to which it was difficult for us to reach the site on time. We tried approaching the area from the opposite lane, but people were bursting crackers on roads and the number of cars added to traffic woes."
Talking about the extent of loss, and the reason behind the fire spreading swiftly, he added that the wooden structure and other combustible material in the ground at gymkhana led to the fire spreading faster.
"The structure is partially damaged but the losses are certainly running into lakhs. The decorative material stored in the premises of the structure meant the fire spread quickly. We are carrying out secondary investigations to understand the cause of fire and extent of losses," added D'souza.

Addison — Busy young actor Kate Hamill was more and more bothered by the lack of meaty, meaningful roles for women onstage, especially, perhaps, in the classics of English literature she loved. Being a resourceful sort, she wasn't content to let things stay that way. Hamill told a recent interviewer she woke one day and said, "Oh, God, I'm gonna have to write them myself, aren't I?"
Hamill's sparkling, romping adaptation (for NYC's Bedlam theater company) of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility premiered in New York in 2014, and was revived for a sold-out run in 2016 and 2017 at The Gym at Judson, a literal gym space off Washington Square that gave it room to move…and play. Eric Tucker directed and Hamill was Marianne, one of the two sisters at the heart of the story.
Early this year, in her blazing, biting adaptation of Thackeray's Vanity Fair at The Pearl Theatre Company (also directed by Tucker), Hamill was Becky Sharp, a poor girl who rises on nothing but her ruthless determination. No better than she ought to be, that one—and we rather loved her anyway.
Now WaterTower Theatre has snared one of the first flights of Hamill's latest hit, her riff on the Austen mothership Pride and Prejudice—which premiered at the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival just this summer. WaterTower's promotional video for the production features a basketball-playing cast—in sweatbands, sneakers and period dress—all true to Hamill's theme of courtship and marriage as a love-game we're all trying to win. This regional premiere is an opportunity for WTT's new artistic director Joanie Schultz to put her own stamp on work by one of the country's most exuberant young playwrights.
The WaterTower cast features Justin Duncan as Mr. Bingley/Mary, Steph Garrett as Lydia/Lady Catherine, Bob Hess as Mr. Bennet/Charlotte Lucas, Jenny Ledel as Lizzy, John-Michael Marrs as Mr. Darcy, Kate Paulsen as Jane/Miss De Bourgh, Brandon Potter as Mr. Wickham/Mr. Collins/Miss Bingley, and Wendy Welch as Mrs. Bennet. (Side note since we've mentioned Pride and Prejudice and Vanity Fair: Ledel played the title character in Gina Gionfriddo's Becky Shaw, a contemporary play inspired by Vanity Fair, at Kitchen Dog Theater years ago.)
Hamill will see the WaterTower production on Saturday, Oct. 14, and participate in a conversation after the performance. See the full schedule of Intersections events at the bottom of this interview.
TheaterJones recently called her in New York City to talk shop.
TheaterJones: Well, we're very excited to have Pride and Prejudice here so quickly after its premiere a few months ago. Your Austen adaptations—Sense and Sensibility came first—seem to be going around the country at warp speed.
Kate Hamill: Yes, it's been crazy—and this was very fast!
There seems to be a real hunger for Austen's work out there.
These are stories people grew up with and are very attached to. I started adapting them myself because I loved them. I do think some of the hunger is that they are women's stories—and when I started, there were very few adaptations of Austen by women. I was a young woman, and Austen writes about young women—all women, really—who are caught between the demands of their consciences and the demands of society. Unfortunately, that's evergreen. And the men are caught in that too.
And maybe to your surprise, you found that the Jane-ites out there rather liked what you were doing.
My first time, I really thought people would turn up with torches and pitchforks. But it's been interesting. With Pride and Prejudice especially, there are several good, straightforward [stage] versions of it out there, along with those on film and television. So I wanted to do something very theatrical and surprising, not the typical Pride and Prejudice. I was afraid of people's reactions, but so far it's been great; people have been receptive, open-minded, and willing to see this classic story in a new way.
Your adaptations are marked by a wild level of humor and physical action—but still feel quite faithful to Austen's voice, and to her surprisingly snarky and comic view of her society. Did it surprise you that you could blend the original "drawing room and teacups" stories with outrageous comedy—and make it work?
You kind of want to create her world and then break it up, to highlight the rules in a theatrical way—the physical comedy is what makes it theatrical—and then show how that world does and doesn't work, and whether it can bend. And it also shows us our ideas about that time period might not be that accurate. A lot of people think of [early 19th-century England] as a very clean, very refined place—but they all had fleas, and went to the bathroom in chamber pots! There was a thriving underworld of prostitution in Austen's time—not that you should stick a prostitute in the play.
Life is always messy.
And human beings have always been human beings, now and in 1811, and we're going down the wrong road to think that they are different from us.
In Sense and Sensibility, and in your adaptation of Thackeray's Vanity Fair, you really came to grips with how economically dependent the women are—how easily they can have an awful future if they don't marry, and how desperately everyone around them is trying to get them paired up.
I once had an acting teacher who said the tragedy of women who couldn't have jobs is a central truth for all these period plays. It's easy for modern audiences to think this is a play about romance and marriage. But modern-day marriage, I hate to say, is a bit of a luxury, something that can be about romantic love—whereas in Austen's world it was about your entire future. You could never get divorced, of course, and if you didn't make the right decision it's really tragic for you. And that's where some of the humor comes up from; as Lizzy says, "You have to laugh so you don't cry."
And in Pride and Prejudice, that's what makes Mrs. Bennett rather a larger character than you might think at first. Yes, she's silly and annoying, but what a job she has to get all these girls married off.
Exactly, and they don't have much to offer, they're quite poor. That's why it is so revolutionary when Lizzy turns down both Mr. Collins and Mr. Darcy. It's sort of an insane decision—speaking to how independent-minded Lizzy is, but it's a choice that people then will see as completely crazy.
Lizzy's mother takes to her bed, so she must think that too.
Mrs. Bennett all but stages a hunger strike, basically.
Do you still get people—and by "people" I possibly mean guys—who come up and let you know they've entirely missed the sharp comedy and the clear-eyed social commentary, and still think of Jane Austen as a small, boring, chick-lit writer?
You know, I really don't get that reaction, and that's lovely! Of course, if those people are there, they probably don't stick around to talk to me afterwards. The positive response we've had, I think, is an argument that these stories are universal. The men face their own problems and restrictions—they struggle with the expectations the world puts on them, as opposed to who they really are.
You've called Elizabeth and Darcy "odd ducks who swim together." It's a different kind of love story.
I wanted to create a Pride and Prejudice that was not completely predictable. It drives me a little crazy when I feel like everyone has figured out the whole formula before they walk into the theater, and they're never going to open their eyes. For me, love is most moving when you fall in love with someone because your idiosyncrasies plug in together. If you're lucky! So I didn't want to create a world in which an impossibly beautiful Lizzy Bennett falls in love with an impossibly perfect Mr. Darcy. How many of us are supermodels who fall in love with other supermodels?
I think it's much more interesting to have a character like Darcy, because he is someone who is simply not communicative. He's not good at using his language—almost a bit on the autism scale. Lizzy uses language well—but badly too, because she talks herself into prejudices, she has a sharp tongue, and she says things she only halfway means. "I talk a lot of nonsense," she says. I wanted to create a world where these two people have an instant connection, and then spend the rest of the play fighting it—like Beatrice and Benedick in Much Ado, where we spend the whole play wanting these two people to get together.
For me, Pride and Prejudice is a story about how you know if you've met "the one." Darcy comes around faster than Lizzy, who starts the play with "I'm never going to marry, that's not for me." She's looking at the kind of bad marriage her parents are in. In life, though, there will be moments when you have to confront your own hypocrisy, when you're about to do the thing you swore you wouldn't do. She fights it almost to the end of the story.
I examine a lot of different marriages and matches in the play. But it's Lizzy's journey that tracks my own, to tell the truth, starting with "not for me" and "no, I don't want to get involved"…and then finding how wonderful and terrible it is to fall in love despite that. [Hamill's partner, actor/director Jason O'Connell, played Darcy to her Lizzy in the Hudson Valley P&P. O'Connell will direct a small-cast version of Cyrano de Bergerac at Amphibian Stage Productions early next year.]
WaterTower has a promotional video for Pride and Prejudice featuring a basketball-playing foursome: Lizzy, Darcy, Jane and Bingley—and I hear there's a very strong game-playing theme running through the show. [Video trailer at the top of this story; and a "making of" video is at the bottom.]
I did put game imagery all through the play; I'm really interested in the way we codify love as a game. Love is very serious, yet inherently a little bit silly—and we do tend to play it as something with rules, strategies, wins, losses. We even have books called The Game and The Rules, with plenty of advice: don't call her until a certain number of days have passed, don't kiss him on the first date, whatever. And the way we treat love as a game does tend to pit people against each other in a way that's often broken down by gender. So I think that [battle of the sexes image] is very accurate.
In WTT's production, the Persian rug that fills the stage floor has basketball court markings in the pattern. [The staging is tennis court-style, with the audience on two sides.]
I think that's so cool! Joanie Schultz is the new artistic director at WaterTower, of course, and we've had a few conversations. But one of the best things about seeing [other companies'] productions is getting to watch how they make it their own. I am so sports illiterate it's ridiculous, so I'm very excited to see what WaterTower does. That video is awesome!
There are a lot of sisters in the Austen adaptations you've done so far.
It's funny, I feel like I've done two plays in a row with houses full of girls. I was just workshopping [her adaptation of] Little Women, and was saying to the cast that inter-female relationships have a very particular dynamic. Funny, though, I grew up with a whole lot of boys at my house.
The sisters in Sense and Sensibility are almost the central relationship. In Pride and Prejudice, it's also all girls in the family—just like my sister's house. My nieces are wonderful, full of life and intense love, and things can easily devolve into total chaos! The Bennett sisters have very divergent relationships: some of them really love each other, but there's also love-hate, and sometimes just hate. And they're all trapped as young adults under one roof.
The relationship between Jane and Lizzy Bennett, very much like the bond between Jane and her sister Cassandra Austen, is a key to the play. Lizzy is very cynical about romantic love for herself, but she has the highest hopes for Jane. And when Darcy stands in the way of Jane's [marriage to Bingley], that's what dooms him in Lizzy's eyes, at least for a while.
You were raised on a farm in rural upstate New York. Did your passion for classic literature take off at home, at school, or…?
I did grow up on a farm! My family was very, very literature oriented and creative. My dad and mother are both English PhD's, and I didn't watch a lot of TV growing up, since my dad thought it would rot my brain. So I read, and we were encouraged to be creative. It was a combination of extremely rural—like driving cows off of our front lawn—and all the books you could want. My parents were very unsympathetic whenever I would say "I'm bored." They would always tell me, "You have books."
In the original productions of Sense and Sensibility and Vanity Fair, almost all the furniture had wheels, and went whirling around the stage—pushed by the actors—as the scenes or the conversations shifted. I loved it, partly because it kept the audience on their toes, and perhaps listening even harder to the dialogue.
I do not do it [in Pride and Prejudice] because you can't use the same trick forever. But there are lots of other things going on.
In Vanity Fair, which is a much darker story, you took another 19th century British author, William Makepeace Thackeray, and followed two young women who face limits and problems much like the Bennett sisters—but on steroids.
I was already playing in that world, you know. I wrote Vanity Fair in between writing Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. I'd been doing research into the time period, reading about the criminal underclass and prostitution. Then I picked up Thackeray's book and fell madly in love with how dark it was. I actually go dark quite easily.
Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility are both happier plays. Right now I'm working on an adaptation of The Odyssey, and that's sometimes pretty dark. I like to bounce back and forth.
How hard is it for you to let go? You were so involved, both as playwright and actor, in the original productions. Does sending them off to other directors and other visions make you sad, happy, what?
I've been lucky in that I am not a control freak, so I can go to other productions and think, "Oh, how interesting!" But I can see that it would drive you crazy if you were a control freak. But playwrights and directors are like co-parents of a given production—so if you have a child with a different person, they'll be very different. For me, that's very moving, because the play is out there in the world.
Your life, your journey as you called it, has changed a great deal in the past few years. If you were describing yourself as a modern-day Austen heroine, who would you be?
Oh, gosh! I think if I had to identify myself as one of them, I probably would be Lizzy, with a healthy dose of Marianne [the unconventional sister of S&S] in the more outré aspects of my personality. Since I'm doing the books in order, I tend to identify with the last character I played!
If you're doing the novels in the order written, your next Austen would be Northanger Abbey, yes?
It is indeed. And I think that one's going to be a musical—because it's such a fun teenage girl adventure. The next Austen play will probably be Mansfield Park, unless my plans change. And I'm working on a musical for the Dallas Theater Center too [adapting the Jules Verne novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea] with Lee Trull and Shawn Magill, who came up with the idea.
There are absolutely no women in the novel, though—so we gender-swapped, and have turned it into a feminist electropop environmental adventure.
Which will be cool!

By Fikru Helebo
Tsegaye Tadesse of Reuters "reports" on the latest of a series of "mysterious" explosions that have rocked the city of Addis Ababa. It seems to me that some one in Ethiopia is bent on using terror tactics to instill fear among Addis residents to further it goals.
Although no one should be naive enough to discount that these bombings could be the works of a desperate foreign government or a frustrated domestic group, my instinct tells me that these series of bombings have Meles written all over them. Having come under heavy international pressure to resolve the political impasse that is his own making since November 2005, Meles has every reason to portray the opposition as "terrorists" who are bent on creating chaos and instability in the country. For a person who has shown no hesitation whatsoever to give orders to shoot to kill defenseless pro-democracy protesters, to design and execute terrorist incidents like the recent bombings in an attempt to discredit the opposition camp in the eyes of Western donor nations and plant seeds of doubt among some Ethiopians does not require stretching one's imagination.
Ethiopians at home should be on high alert as they go about their daily business and try to do their part to catch and expose this latest Meles scheme for what it is: an abominable terroristic act. I urge them to arm themselves with cameras and practice citizen journalism. If practiced wisely and in a well coordinated manner, I am sure citizen journalism can play a constructive role in hastening the downfall of this terrorist regime. Is is very sad that the very government that is supposed to protect Ethiopians is now, in all likelihood, engaged in terroristic acts to prolong its stay in power.

App of the Week: Space Missile Command
While our last space-themed App of Week was the lovably quirky Aliens Abducted game, this week's selection is an action-packed adventure for shooter game fans. Space Missile Command was recently featured in the US App Store's "What's Hot" category and is quickly rolling in glowing reviews.
A brilliant mash-up of the classic Asteroids and Missile Command games, Space Missile Command challenges you to stop an asteroid invasion from destroying sacred planets.To blast the waves of asteroids and protect planets, you navigate a joystick around the screen and fire away. As you earn scores of points and power-ups, you'll climb the officer ranks from a 2nd lieutenant to a four-star general. Beyond the rock-solid gameplay, the classical soundtrack and stunning special effects enhance the game to create an addictive experience.
Space Missile Command is offered in a free light version, as well as $.99 download from the App Store, for advanced gameplay and additional levels.

Nadel & Associates, PC

New York, NY 10022
For Defendants:
Marin Goodman LLP
40 Wall Street 57th Floor
New York, NY 10005
Walter Tolub, J.
In what is hopefully the last sally in a particularly internecine litigation (see
also index nos. 101430/06, 112304/07) between plaintiff, a co-op owner and former treasurer of
the cooperative corporation, and the corporation and its current officers and directors, plaintiff
moves pursuant to Business Corporation Law ("BCL") § 501(c) to void a flip tax imposed
by the cooperative's board of directors ("the board"), and for costs and attorney's fees related to
the motion.
Plaintiff purchased the shares appurtenant to unit 2 of a seven-unit cooperative building at 425 E 50th Street in Manhattan in August 2004. In February 2005, the board imposed a flip tax equal to two months' maintenance on all unit sales and sublets, and made the fee's payment by the owner or lessor a prerequisite to the board's approval of the sale or sublet. Plaintiff was [*2]elected treasurer of the co-op in April 2005, but acrimony soon began. She was removed from that position by the board on October 1, 2005, allegedly for cause after she threatened to sue them, and was removed as a director in November 2005. In September 2006, the board increased the flip tax due on the sale of a unit to 2.5% of the selling price. Plaintiff listed her apartment for sale in December 2006 and obtained a purchaser, but refused to pay the flip tax. In turn, the board refused to approve the sale. Plaintiff brought this action seeking to nullify the flip tax both "derivatively in the right and for the benefit of 425 E. 50 Owners Corp. and representatively on her own behalf and on behalf of all other shareholders" (complaint, ¶ 12).
The gravamen of plaintiff's argument is that the board exceeded its authority in imposing the
flip tax and violated BCL § 501(c) because neither the offering plan, by-laws nor
proprietary lease authorized the board to impose such fee, and defendants' purported amendment
of the bylaws never happened.
Flip Tax
As noted by the Court of Appeals, the imposition of a flip tax is not per se
unreasonable or illegal provided that it is neither prohibited by a corporation's bylaws or
proprietary lease, and does not violate the proportionality requirements as mandated by Business
Corporation Law § 501(c)[FN1] (see, Fe Bland v. Two Trees
Management Co. (66 NY2d 556, 569 [1985]; Meichsner v. Valentine Gardens
Cooperative, 137 AD2d 797, 798 [2d Dept 1988]). Transfer fees may also be validly adopted
provided that they comply with the requirements of BCL § 501(c), and conform to the
proprietary lease and are authorized by the bylaws and/or the proprietary lease (see,
Quirin v. 123 Apartments Corp., 128 AD2d 360, 363 [1st Dept 1987], app dism
70 NY2d 796 [1987]). Furthermore, a transfer fee such as the one at bar, which is "proportional
to the profit earned by the assigning shareholder" will not be held violative of BCL § 501(c)
as long as it is again, authorized by either the corporation's bylaws or by the proprietary lease
(see, McCabe v. Hoffman, 138 AD2d 287, 289 [1st Dept 1988]).
Co-op Documents
Nothing in the original proprietary lease, the bylaws or the offering plan authorized the board to impose a flip tax. Contrary to defendant's first response to plaintiff's objection to the flip tax (exhibit A to plaintiff's reply papers), section 5.5 of the bylaws (exhibit E to moving papers), which provides that the "board shall have authority before an assignment or sublet of a [*3]Proprietary Lease or reallocation of shares takes effect as against the Corporation as lessor, to fix a reasonable fee to cover actual expenses and attorneys' fees of the Corporation, a service fee of the Corporation and such other conditions as it may determine, in connection with each such proposed assignments," does not authorize the board to impose a flip tax. Neither does § 16.1(iv) of the proprietary lease, which specifies as a condition precedent to a sale that "[a]ll sums due from the Lessee shall have been paid to the Lessor, together with a sum to be fixed by the Directors to cover reasonable legal and other expenses of the Lessor and its managing agent in connection with such assignment and transfer of shares," nor § O of the offering plan (exhibit D to moving papers), which contains a similar provision. "A fee on the transfer of shares in a cooperative apartment corporation (commonly called a 'flip tax') may not be imposed by the corporation's board of directions, when the bylaws of the corporation authorize the board to impose on such a transfer and assignment only 'a reasonable fee to cover actual expenses and attorneys' fees of the Corporation, a service fee of the Corporation and such other conditions as it may determine'" (Fe Bland v. Two Trees Management Co., supra, 66 NY2d at 559; Berglund v. 411 East 57th Corp., 127 Misc 2d 58, 58-59 [App Term, 1st Dept 1985], affd 118 AD2d 431 [1st Dept 1986], citing McIntyre v. Royal Summit Owners, 126 Misc 2d 930 [App Term, 1st Dept 1984]).
Nonetheless, this is not fatal to defendants. It is not necessary that the board's authorization stem from the original co-op documents. Imposition of a flip tax may be effected by amendment to the co-op bylaws, and it is not necessary that the proprietary lease also be amended (Mello v. 79th Street Tenants Corp., 136 Misc 2d 73, 74-75 [Civ Ct, NY Co, Lane, J, 1987], citing Grossman v. 322 W 72 Apt. Corp., NYLJ Jan 28, 1987, p 38, col 5 [Sup Ct, NY Co, Kirschenbaum, J]). Similarly, an amendment to the portion of the offering plan which sets forth the corporate bylaws, reflected in amended bylaws, obviates the need to amend the proprietary lease (1326 Apartments Corp. v. Barbosa, 147 Misc 2d 264 [Civ Ct, NY Co, Solomon, J, 1990]).
Defendants do not claim to have amended the proprietary lease or the offering documents.
They claim the flip tax is valid because the by-laws were amended (twice) to impose it. Plaintiff
maintains that no such amendment took place. The dispositive question is thus whether the co-op
documents were validly amended so as to authorize the board's imposition of an unequal flip tax
and pass muster under BCL § 501(c).
Amendments to Bylaws
Not unexpectedly, each side, through affidavits of individuals with personal knowledge of the facts (plaintiff for herself and defendant Sharla Bailey Kidder ["Kidder"], the board's secretary for defendants), gives very divergent versions of pertinent events to show how the by-laws were or were not properly amended to authorize the imposition of an unequal flip tax.
Defendants argue that the flip tax is valid because the co-op's "by-laws were specifically and properly amended in 2005 to include a specific for[sic] provision for the imposition of a flip tax" (Ettenger opposing affirmation, ¶ 3) and both the 2005 amendment (Kidder affidavit, ¶ 4) and the 2006 amendment (id., ¶ 7) were unanimously voted for by the board. Both amendments were made before plaintiff entered into the sales contract (id., ¶ 12), and at least one former [*4]shareholder paid the flip tax during plaintiff's tenancy on the board (Ettenger affirmation, ¶ 12). Defendants also argue that plaintiff made no objection to the flip tax until she tried to sell her apartment over two years after the tax was imposed. As discussed below, this argument, directly contradicted by the documentary evidence (exhibit A to plaintiff's reply papers), is unavailing.
Plaintiff, averring that defendants' opposition is "fraught with misstatements and outright lies" (plaintiff's reply affidavit, ¶ 2), insists that "[t]he truth is that the By-laws were never amended" (id., ¶ 4; ¶¶ 8, 15). Plaintiff also argues that no prior notice was sent by the board to the shareholders and the board held no meeting or formal vote to amend the bylaws or institute the flip tax. According to plaintiff, defendants lie when they say notice of proposed 2005 amendment was attached to Kidder's undated memo (exhibit A to Kidder affidavit) because there were no attachments (plaintiff's reply affidavit, ¶ 7). In fact, plaintiff saw the two "proposed amendments" submitted by defendants (exhibits B and C to Kidder affidavit) for the first time in the course of this litigation.
The 2005 amendment in question purportedly added to the bylaws an Article 16, dubbed
"Flip & Sublet Tax," which provided that:
Flip & Sublet Tax Terms: A fee equal to 2 months[sic] maintenance for the apartment, shall be payable whenever an apartment is sold or sublet. The owner or lessor of the apartment is responsible for paying the fee to [the cooperative]. Approval to transfer ownership or to sublet will not be given until this fee is paid(exhibit B to Kidder affidavit). That Article 16 was then allegedly amended in pertinent part as follows:
Flip Tax (Reconfirmed and Amended September 27, 2006)
Flip Tax Terms: A fee equal to 2.5% of the selling price of the apartment, shall be payable whenever an apartment is sold.
The owner of the apartment is responsible for paying the fee to [the cooperative]. Approval to transfer ownership or[sic] will not be given until this fee is paid(exhibit C to Kidder affidavit). Both of these documents are freshly typed and stand alone on virgin paper rather than on a numbered page of the by-laws or a board resolution and are thus not conclusive on the issue of whether the by-laws were actually amended.
The language of both clauses clearly provides for a flip tax; what is at issue is whether the board properly incorporated them into the bylaws.
The procedure for amending the by-laws is clearly set forth therein: They may be amended, enlarged or diminished either (a) at any Shareholders' meeting by vote of Shareholders owning two-thirds of the amount of the outstanding shares, represented in person or by proxy, provided that the proposed amendment or the substance thereof shall have been inserted in the notice of meeting or that all of the Shareholders be present in person or by proxy, or (b) at any meeting of the Board by a majority vote, provided that the proposed amendment or the substance thereof shall have been inserted in the notice of meeting or that all of the Directors shall have waived in writing notice of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may not repeal a By-law amendment adopted by the Shareholders as provided above(exhibit E to moving papers, § 14.1).
As to the first possibility, amendment of the bylaws pursuant to § 14.1(a), the court finds [*5]that there was no meeting or vote of the shareholders. Kidder's claim that she personally spoke to all the shareholders prior to the board's imposition of the flip tax in 2005 and all including plaintiff were in favor of it (Kidder affidavit, ¶ 2), even if true, does not constitute the requisite shareholder meeting and approval. Under the by-laws, there is to be an annual meeting of shareholders (§ 2.1). In addition, the president, secretary or majority of the board, or holders of 25% of the shares, may call a special shareholders meeting at any time (§ 2.2). Written notice of all meetings must be given to shareholders between 10 and 40 days prior to the meeting (§§ 2.1, 2.2), but such notice may be waived (§ 2.4). No evidence of such waiver or meeting notice much less a notice including the text of the proposed amendment as required by the by-laws has been submitted to this court. The 'notice' which Kidder contends was given to all shareholders in November 2004 by the board is an undated memorandum to the co-op owners from "Sharla Kidder as fellow owner (not as board representative)" which sets forth her idea to impose a flip tax and asks the shareholders to "discuss this possible change" by "email[ing] or phon[ing] or slid[ing] a note under [her] door" because "it can be hard to schedule a coop meeting" (exhibit A to Kidder affidavit).
No other document is alleged by defendants to be a prior notice to the shareholders. This is consistent with plaintiff's averment that the only notice from the board pertaining to the 2005 amendment was of afait acompli (exhibit B to plaintiff's reply papers), not of an intention. When notice to the shareholders is required, failure to provide such notice to all shareholders, even in a small building such as the one at issue here, will nullify a vote to institute a flip tax even when it was approved by more than the requisite number of shares (Seif v. 72 Horatio Street Owners Corp., n.o.r., NYLJ Feb 6, 2002, at p 18, col 5 [Sup Ct, NY Co, Cahn, J, 2002]). Similarly, plaintiff maintains that no prior notice was given to shareholders of the 2006 increase in the flip tax, no formal board meeting or vote took place (plaintiff's reply affidavit, ¶ 12), and shareholders learned of the increase in the flip tax only after it had been effected (id., ¶ 13; exhibit D).
Defendants contend that the 2005 amendment was authorized by § 14.1(b), which allows the board, by majority vote, to amend the bylaws by itself upon specific prior notice of the board meeting or written waiver thereof. This argument is only partially supported by the evidence. Defendants have submitted (unattached to any affidavit or affirmation) a waiver of notice of the September 27, 2006 board meeting signed by the three officers who attended it. They have also submitted an unsigned loose piece of paper with no seal or other authenticating mark purporting to be the minutes of that meeting, in which it is noted that the "Board unanimously voted in favor of increasing the flip tax upon sale of a unit to 2.5% of the sale price of the unit. The collecting of the tax is to be the responsibility of the seller of the unit. It was agreed that Sharla [Kidder] would draft a memo to this effect and distribute it immediately." There is no indication as to how or by whom the actual text of the amendment to the bylaws was to be drafted.
Even assuming that these documents are legitimate and suffice to legitimize the 2006 amendment pursuant to § 14.1(b) of the bylaws, defendants have not shown they had the authority to impose a flip tax, since no such documents have been provided with respect to the 2005 amendment, which was the one that first imposed the fee. Defendants have failed to produce a copy of either prior notice to the shareholders or minutes of the board meeting at which such amendment was allegedly authorized. Since the board's secretary is required by the [*6]by-laws to give all required notices and keep minutes of all board and shareholder meetings (exhibit E to moving papers, § 4.4) the court must conclude that either plaintiff is correct in her contention that the by-laws were never amended, or that the officers of the co-operative are so derelict in their duties and dismissive of their obligations under the by-laws that any action taken by them is meaningless. In examining the board's conduct with respect to the flip tax, the court is mindful that there are only seven units in the building, and that this presents an apparently irresistible temptation for the board to forego adherence to the corporate documents and instead run the building on an informal basis. However, while this may be understandable, it is not acceptable.
Of course, if the initial amendment to impose the flip tax in 2005 had been approved by the
majority of the shareholders pursuant to § 14.1(a) of the bylaws, subsequent amendments to
modify the amount of the fee could then be effected pursuant to § 14.1(b) (see, e.g.,
Weigel v. 30 West 15th Street Owners Corp., n.o.r., 2008 WL 518140 [Civ Ct,
NY Co, 2008]). Arguably, the board's initial imposition of a flip tax in 2005 did not trigger BCL
§ 501(c) because the maintenance payments which constituted that flip tax bore a
relationship to the number of shares associated with each unit. However, the board cannot
circumvent the statute altogether by voting to "raise" that flip tax to an amount totally
disproportionate to the number of appurtenant shares in a manner it could not have accomplished
ab initio without violating the statute (compare Reisch v. Greenwood Arms
Cooperative Corp., 153 AD2d 844, 845 [2d Dept 1989]).
Proprietary Lease Requirements
Finally, even assuming, arguendo, that both the 2005 and 2006 amendments were validly adopted by the board pursuant to § 14.1(b) of the bylaws, it would not have sufficed to impose an enforceable flip tax.
As noted above, a co-op board may derive its authority to impose a flip tax from either the co-op bylaws or the proprietary lease, as amended. When applied to the actual documents involved here, however, this yields an apparent contradiction in the law. The alternative amendment process permissible for the bylaws (§ 14.1[b]) is nominal, yet an amendment to the proprietary lease must be in writing (Article 47) and approved by lessees owning at least 66-2/3% of the shares (§ 6.1). Hence, allowing the amendments to the bylaws purportedly effected by the three members of the board (holders of roughly 40% of the shares) to constitute an amendment to the proprietary lease would be nullifying the provisions of that lease. This the court cannot and will not do.
"Inseparably joined, neither the corporate nor the leasehold attributes of the relationship [between the shareholders and the cooperative corporation] can be viewed in isolation from one another.... Even as to such normally corporate matters as the authority of the board of directors, therefore, it is not just the bylaws that are determinative; the relevant provisions of the related documents must be read together" (Quirin v. 123 Apartments Corp., supra, 128 AD2d at 363, citations omitted). The rationale for allowing the flip tax to be imposed through the amendment of only one of the co-op documents is that all three are to be read together, and "considered in conjunction with each other" (Zilberfein v. Palmer Terrace Cooperative, Inc., 18 AD3d 742, 744 [2d Dept 2005], app dism 7 NY3d 783 [2006]; Reisch v. Greenwood Arms Cooperative Corp., [*7]supra, 153 AD2d at 845, citations omitted). In other words, although the change to the terms of the proprietary lease may be effected indirectly through an amendment to the bylaws, the flip tax is not enforceable unless it is in harmony with the terms of the proprietary lease. In this case, it is not. When the proprietary lease and the bylaws at issue are read together, it is clear that any amendment to the by-laws which purports to materiallly amend the proprietary lease must be effected by shareholder vote pursuant to § 14.1(a) of the bylaws. "The general power of the board to operate and manage the cooperative does not permit it, unilaterally, to amend a material contractual provision of the proprietary lease in the absence of compliance with the amendment provisions contained therein" (330 West End Apartment Corporation v. Kelly, 124 Misc 2d 870, 873 [Sup Ct, NY Co, L Cohen, 1984], affd 108 AD2d 1107 [1st Dept 1985], affd as modified sub nom Fe Bland v. Two Trees Mgt. Co., supra, 66 NY2d 556). Although there are instances where the co-op board may amend the bylaws without shareholder approval to impose a flip tax (see NY Condo & Coop Law § 10:5 [2007] for full discussion), this is not one of them.
In short, the flip "tax was not specifically authorized in the proprietary lease or in the cooperative's by-laws. Nor was it approved as a modification or alteration of the lease or by-laws by a required affirmative vote of the shareholders" (Berglund v. 411 East 57th Corp., 118 AD2d 431 [1st Dept 1986]). Thus, the amendments purportedly voted for by the board amount to nothing more than a mere board resolution. Absent an enabling amendment in the co-op documents, an unequal flip tax "provided for only in a resolution of the board of directors" cannot satisfy BCL § 501(c) (Reisch v. Greenwood Arms Cooperative Corp., supra, 153 AD2d at 845, citations omitted). Where, as here, the threshold set by the proprietary lease is higher than that set by the bylaws, the board cannot by mere resolution of the three individuals comprising it, without even notice to the shareholders, vest itself with the authority to impose a flip tax (see McIntyre v. Royal Summit Owners, Inc., supra, 126 Misc 2d at 932-933).
Since neither the original bylaws nor proprietary lease contain specific authority for the board's imposition of a flip tax or transfer fee, "and since defendant[s] failed to follow the proper procedures to effectuate an amendment of the Proprietary Lease authorizing such a ... surcharge," the flip tax should be voided ab initio and all improperly obtained fees returned" (Zimiles v. Hotel des Artistes, Inc., 216 AD2d 45 [1st Dept 1995]). Furthermore, since the board acted in excess of its authority in enacting a flip tax without the express consent of the holders of 66-2/3% of the shares, defendants are also "answerable for those damages plaintiff can prove to have sustained as a result" (Bailey v. 800 Grand Concourse Owners, 199 AD2d 1, 3 [1st Dept 1993]).
On a last note, the 'flip tax' issue appears to be the final impediment to plaintiff's sale of her unit and severance of her connection to defendants. This court has already ruled in an earlier skirmish between the parties that if the board takes any action to prevent plaintiff from finally severing her relationship with the co-op, it cannot be said to be "acting fairly, impartially or in the best interest of the [b]uilding" (index no. 112304/07, mot seq. no. 001, p 4). Refusing to approve the transfer of her shares, even with a reservation of rights, would seem to be such an action. Thus, it is clearly in the best interests of all parties to allow plaintiff to sell her shares and sever all connections to the co-op.
Accordingly, plaintiff's motion is granted to the extent that it is hereby
ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the board exceeded its authority in imposing a flip tax in 2005 without the approval of the holders of 66-2/3% of the co-op's shares; [*8]and, it is further
ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that such flip tax ("Article 16" of the bylaws) is hereby found to be null and void.
Plaintiff's second (breach of fiduciary duty) and third (breach of contract) causes of action for
damages are hereby severed.
Counsel shall appear in IA Part 15, Room 335, 60 Centre Street, New York, New York, on May 16, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. for the purpose of completing a pre-trial order specifying all discovery to be completed and setting forth a date for plaintiff to file a note of issue on her damage claims.
This decision constitutes the order and judgment of the court.
DATED: March 31, 2008
Hon. Walter B. Tolub, J.S.C.
Footnote 1: Business Corporation Law § 501(c), which generally bars unequal treatment of shares, was specifically amended in 1986 to "permit[] the imposition of a transfer fee which has been validly adopted pursuant to the terms of the offering plan, proprietary lease and bylaws, considered in conjunction with one another, despite the fact that the charges assessed may not be equal per share or that the holders of unsold shares retain certain benefits not available to the other shareholders" (see, Mogulescu v. 255 West 98th Street Owners Corp., 135 AD2d 32, 39 [1st Dept 1988], app dism 71 NY2d 964 [1988] and 73 NY2d 868 [1989]; Amer v. Bay Terrace Cooperative Section II, Inc., 142 AD2d 704, 705 [2d Dept 1988]).

SERENGETI Series (Severed Press)
Serengeti : Serengeti Book 1

It was supposed to be an easy job: find the Dark Star Revolution Starships, destroy them, and go home. But a booby-trapped vessel decimates the Meridian Alliance fleet, leaving Serengeti—a Valkyrie class warship with a sentient AI brain—on her own; wrecked and abandoned in an empty expanse of space.
On the edge of total failure, Serengeti thinks only of her crew. She herds the survivors into a lifeboat, intending to sling them into space. But the escape pod sticks in her belly, locking the cryogenically frozen crew inside.
Then a scavenger ship arrives to pick Serengeti's bones clean.
Her engines dead, her guns long silenced, Serengeti and her last two robots must find a way to fight the scavengers off and save the crew trapped inside her.
Dark and Stars: Serengeti Book 2
Fifty-three years Serengeti drifted, dreaming in the depths of space. Fifty-three years of patient waiting before her Valkyrie Sisters arrive to retrieve her from the dark. A bittersweet homecoming follows, the Fleet Serengeti once knew now in shambles, its admiral, Cerberus, gone missing, leaving Brutus in charge. Brutus who's subsumed the Fleet, ignoring his duty to the Meridian Alliance to pursue a vendetta against the Dark Star Revolution.
The Valkyries have a plan to stop him—depose Brutus and restore the Fleet's purpose—and that plan involves Serengeti. Depends on Serengeti turning her guns against her own.
Because the Fleet can no longer be trusted. With Brutus in charge, it's just Serengeti and her Sisters, and whatever reinforcements they can find.
A top-to-bottom refit restores Serengeti to service, and after a rushed reunion with Henricksen and her surviving crew, she takes off for the stars. For Faraday—a prison station—to stage a jailbreak, and free the hundreds of Meridian Alliance AIs wrongfully imprisoned in its Vault. From there to the Pandoran Cloud and a rendezvous with her Valkyrie Sisters. To retrieve a fleet of rebels ships stashed away inside.
One last battle, one last showdown with Brutus and his Dreadnoughts and it all ends. A civil war—one half of the Meridian Alliance Fleet turned against the other, with the very future of the Meridian Alliance hanging in the balance.
Hecate: Serengeti Prequel
Buy Now Audiobook: Amazon
Black Ops—the intelligence arm of the Meridian Alliance Fleet came calling with an offer Henricksen couldn't refuse: a ship—an entire squadron of ships, actually—and crew to command. A chance to get back to the stars.
Too bad he didn't ask more questions before accepting the assignment. Too bad no one told him just how dangerous this particular skunkworks project was.
They call the ship the RV-N: Reconnaissance Vessel - Non-combat, Raven for short. A stealth ship—fast, and maneuverable, and brutal as hell. On the surface, Henricksen's assignment seems simple: train his crew, run the RV-Ns through their paces, get the ships certified for mission operations and job done. But an accident in training reveals a fatal design flaw in the Raven, and when an undercover operative steals classified information from a Black Ops facility, the Fleet Brass cancels the tests completely, rushing the faulty ships and their half-trained crew into live operations. On a mission to recover the Fleet's lost secrets.
Out of time and out of options, Henricksen has no choice but to launch his squadron. But a ghost from his past makes him question everything—the ships, their AI, the entirety of this mission, right down to the secrets he and his crew are supposed to recover.


text: People are faced with having to take cases to court every day. Reasons include, but are not limited to: fatal accidents, workers' compensation claims and personal injury. When considering the time that a case could take; that being months, or even years – taking out a lawsuit loan can be a financially stabilizing answer for a family or individual. There are other loan alternatives when considering the funds needed to take care of: ongoing medical bills, attorney fees, and court costs; lawsuit loans can be a win-win solution. In considering whether one should take out a lawsuit loan, there are many angles to take into consideration. First, one should understand the additional types of loans that are available to assist you. Lawsuit Loans versus bank loans: The largest difference between a lawsuit loan and a bank loan is time. Lawsuit loans can be approved in as little as twenty-four to forty-eight hours. A bank loan, on the other hand, may take weeks to be approved. It is very rare that a bank would approve a loan on the basis of a future lawsuit settlement. Although, if your relationship is good with a bank, and your credit rating is very high, they may consider the approval. This may take up to a month or two, involving much paperwork, and the signed authority of many executive staff members within the bank. A lawsuit loan team can tell an individual or family within a few short days whether or not their loan will be approved against a future lawsuit settlement. Lawsuit Loans versus loans from family or friends: When considering a loan from a family member or friend to supplement financial needs, the biggest idea to think through is that of, what if I lose my case? Will you be able to pay the loan back to them? How long will it take you to pay back the loan? The loan itself could ruin a relationship between you and a friend, or you and family member. No amount of money is worth losing family or friends over. Lawsuit loans are an easy solution to getting the money you need to proceed with filing your lawsuit. No matter what the case, it never hurts to contact a legal team regarding a lawsuit loan. With nothing to lose, and the benefit of moving forward with your case in a financially secure environment, legal funding has the possibility of helping any family. With possible approval within twenty-four to forty-eight hours, legal funding is a quick option to getting the cash you need. Why should anybody or their family suffer when moving forward with a legal suit, when there is a win-win solution to getting financial backing through a lawsuit loan? Steven Medvin is the Executive Director of SMP Advance Funding, LLC, which provides lawsuit funding to individuals who need a lawsuit loan for pending lawsuits.

It's a "For WhomThe Bell Tolls" kind of dynamic. The U.S. accuses scores of countries and ethnic sects of conducting terrorism all over the world. And yet, the U.S. in reality is the world's biggest and most dangerous terrorist:
We have brought torture, cluster bombs, depleted uranium, innumerable acts of random murder, misery, degradation and death to the Iraqi people and call it 'bringing freedom and democracy to the Middle East'. How many people do you have to kill before you qualify to be described as a mass murderer and a war criminal? One hundred thousand? More than enough, I would have thought. Therefore it is just that Bush and Blair be arraigned before the International Criminal Court of Justice. Harold Pinter, 2005 Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech – excerpted from this Paul Craig Roberts article: LINK
As a means of bolstering America's ability to conduct acts of sovereign-inflicted terrorism, Obama just signed an Executive Order – recall that Obama promised to abolish the use of Executive Orders when he ran for President in 2008 – that gives the President the ability to impose sanctions on individuals or entities that engage in "cyberattacks" which are deemed to "threaten" U.S. national security or the economy – Washington Examiner.
The power imbued in that EO is frightening. The U.S. has already egregiously abused this power when the C.I.A. placed blame on North Korea for the Sony cyberattack and imposed sanctions on Pyongyang. Remember that? As it turned out, North Korea had nothing to do with the attack. No less an internet security pioneer than John McAfee (McAfee anti-virus) issued a statement guaranteeing that the United States' "intelligence" sources were wrong: International Business Times.
The real crux of this matter is that the further the people of the United States let the Government deviate from the Bill of Rights in its implementation of control and power, the closer this country moves toward a complete totalitarian Government. The power of the President to issue and authorize "Executive Orders" is one of the most dangerous forms of Government omnipotence. They need to be abolished. This particular EO gives the President the power to unilaterally go after anyone or any country for something deemed "a cyberattack."
It makes me shutter with absolute horror to think about the capricious nature of this Executive Order, considering the power it gives the Oval Office to decide what, and by whom, constitutes a "cyberattack." There is no "check and balance" mechanism which prevents the President from inflicting serious damage on an individual or entity which might in truth be innocent. North Korea, for example.
Obama promised to remove the use of Executive Orders from Oval Office. Now he implements them more freely and whimsically than his vile predecessor. I said shortly after Obama was elected that he would likely turn out to be a worse President than Bush. So far he's making my prediction look easy…

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- The Tusculum University baseball team rallied from a 5-0 deficit in Saturday's second game with seven unanswered runs as the Pioneers split a South Atlantic Conference doubleheader with 28th-ranked Lincoln Memorial University.
LMU's Tyler Adams went 3-for-4 with five RBI as the Railsplitters won the opener 8-5. Tusculum overcame a 5-0 hole in the second game and reliever Mitch McCain pitched five hitless innings as the Pioneers won the night-cap 7-5.
LMU (30-13, 17-4 SAC) wins the weekend series 2-1 and remains in second place in the league standings, two games behind SAC leader Newberry College. LMU and Newberry will close out the conference season next weekend. Tusculum (27-18, 14-7 SAC) drops its first league series of the year but remains in fourth place in the SAC.
Game 1: No. 28 Lincoln Memorial 8, Tusculum 5
Adams broke a 1-1 tie with his three-run homer in the fifth inning as the Railsplitters held on for an 8-5 victory in the first game. LMU posted 13 hits in the victory as Nate Stinson joined Adams with a three-hit performance, while Seth Hunt, Brent Richey and Marco Rios tallied two hits apiece.
Tusculum finished with nine hits including two hits each by Daulton Martin and Bryson Ford. One of Martin's hits was his 54th career double which ties him for the TU all-time record with Tusculum Sports Hall of Famer Josh Wolff (2003-2006).
LMU starting pitcher Eli Wright (5-0) remained undefeated on the season as he pitched 6.2 innings where he allowed three runs (2 earned), five hits, two walks and two strikeouts.
The Railsplitters jumped out to 1-0 lead in the first inning when Hunt opened with a single, stole second, and scored on Adams' RBI single.
Tusculum tied the game in the fourth inning with one out and a Nate Montgomery at first base, Trey Hinton laced a double to the gap in center field which moved Montgomery to third. But on the play the ball was bobbled in the outfield, allowing Montgomery to score the tying run.
LMU answered with a four-run frame in the fifth which included six hits, highlighted by Adams fifth home run of the year for a 4-1 lead for the Railsplitters. After a pop up for the second out of the inning, Stinson recorded his third hit of the game with his 18th double of the season to knock TU starter Zach Sanders out of the game. Andrew Willis took over on the mound for TU as Richey reached on an infield single to put runners and first and second and Will Reddick hit a two-out double to right field to extend the lead to 5-1.
Tusculum plated a run in the bottom of the fifth as Zack Finchum scored on Martin's sacrifice line out to deep center field to cut the deficit to 5-2.
LMU took advantage of a pair of one out walks as Adams drove in one with a base hit and Chris Salvey drove in the other with a sacrifice fly as the Railsplitters led 7-2.
Tusculum mounted a two-out rally in the seventh when Seth DeHaven was hit by a pitch and he would score from first on Martin's record-tying double, which was also his 22nd of the season which is tied for the second most in school history. Ford drove in Martin with his second hit of the game as the Pioneers found themselves down by two (7-5).
The Railsplitters scored an unearned run in the ninth inning before LMU closer Devin Morris worked around a two-out hit to post his fifth save of the season.
Tusculum tied a school single-game record by turning four double plays, matching the record posted against St. Rose in 2008 and two years ago against Young Harris in 2017.
Game 2: Tusculum 7, No. 28 Lincoln Memorial 5
Bryson Ford went 2-for-4 and drove in the eventual winning run in the fourth inning as Tusculum rallied from a 5-0 deficit in the first inning to beat the Railsplitters 7-5.
McCain (4-1) tossed one of his best outings of his career as he pitched five scoreless innings where he allowed no hits, two walks and struck out five in this 70-pitch performance.
Both teams came out swinging as LMU and TU both scored five runs each in the opening frame.
Lincoln Memorial scored five times as 11 batters went to the plate where they accumulated five hits, two walks and a hit batsman to take a 5-0 lead.
Tusculum responded with five runs in the bottom of the first as TU had nine Pioneers go to the plate. Tusculum opened with five consecutive singles, including a two-run hit to right. Wes Reynolds also drove in a run with a base hit, while Finchum had a RBI fielder's choice to knot the contest at 5-5.
LMU had a great scoring chance in the top of the third when Richey and Reddick led off with back-to-back hits against reliever Colin Johnston. On came McCain and he got a shallow fly out to left and got Rios to line into a double play to end the inning.
In the bottom of the fourth, Finchum led off with a single, moved to second on Martin's one-out walk. Ford drove in the go-ahead run with a single, moving Martin to third base. Garrett Dupuis lifted a fly ball down the right field line which was deep enough for Martin to score an insurance run for a 7-5 TU lead.
McCain faced the minimum nine batters over the final three innings to preserve the victory.
LMU starter Matt Mullenbach pitched well as we went the distance in the loss to drop to 3-3 on the year as he allowed seven runs, 10 hits, two walks and posted nine strikeouts.
Finchum went 2-for-3 for the Pioneers to extend his hitting streak to seven in a row.
Tusculum continues its seven-game home-stand with a non-conference outing with Lee University on Tuesday at 6 p.m. TU will be looking to avenge last month's 8-3 loss to the Flames.
