The sound made by drums is the heartbeat of the Earth. Each bead, feather or design is an offering to the Great Spirit. The beauty found in utilitarian objects is the pride and the gift of their makers. If the United States is a melting pot, then we run the risk of losing its amazing diversity. To take an alternative point of view, if America is a tapestry that celebrates each vibrant strand, then Native Americans are the original strands.
Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum is a place where you can connect with the Great Spirit and the cultures of America's native peoples. The museum strives to be a center of learning, fun and respect for Native American cultures. You don't need a special event for the MKIM to be a great adventure but if you're looking for one their Harvest Moon festival in early October - overseen by a committee of Native American tradition-bearers – is one of the best.

Excitement is the day after Thanksgiving. It is the day to put all the fall things away. Play Christmas music all day. Do several loads of laundry. Plunk out Christmas carols on the Clavinova. Walk the girls and wave at neighbors. Get soaking wet while trying to make dirty snow turn white on several tiny fake houses.
Impossible, right? I was afraid so. When I first looked at them, I was pretty sure the paint would be coming out and this would be a several long days' process. That was depressing, and I was pretty sure I didn't have enough paint or time or will to accomplish that project.
"In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He existed in the beginning with God
God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him.
The Word gave life to everything that was created,a
and his life brought light to everyone."~Jn 1:1-4
As I was debating my strategy for making all houses new, I began to wonder if Elohim ever felt the same way? Which led me to hitting myself in the head and saying, "Duh!" Of course, He did. He gave up His crown and took on a body just like mine. The Creator of all things left behind His crown, didn't even get a cradle in which to rest
this new body to become human – like us.
Love. Wonder. Walking. Talking. Anger. Silliness. Hormones. Temptation. Frustration. Pain. Death of a parent, pet, friend… Political upheaval. Torture. Death.
I carried my little houses outside, hooked up the fire-hose nozzle, applied dish soap liberally and sat down to wait for the soap to do its work. It was a great day to be outside. Warm. Sunny. Birds singing. A praying mantis sitting on the railing of our deck. The girls lifted their noses and watched the birds come to the feeders while I pondered how God made "…all things new".
"Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal's death on a cross."~Phil 2:7-8
Amazing. I whine about a couple hours of work to make fake snow look white again on little houses for a fake village. He "humbled himself unto death" to wipe away the sooty sin covering His real creations carry. Best of all, He is still sitting there, waiting for Elohim to signal the cleansing complete by the blasts of the trumpet.
Lucky for me, His plan is so much better than my own. Although – I have to admit, my little fake houses don't look too bad tonight and tomorrow – I will decide where to place them in my own little fake kingdom.
"But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door."~Meredith Wilson, 1951
This song is 65 years old. I know that because I was born in 1951, and as the world has probably figured out by now – great songs and people were born in that year. However – the best year ever was the one when Christ gave up his crown and began his journey to the cross. [google images]

Question: Dear Luise: my husband lost his job about 9mounths ago we got kicked of owr home on christmass so we went to his moms house we have a 4yr old son and a 2yr old son the two year old has so many alergys that he sould be living in a bouble and his knows how bad he is she works for his doctor we i kind of told her nabor off because she followed me 2 block down the road said she would harm me and my family over walking in her yard and me and my husband her son got in to an argument so she kicked me, him, and the kids out in the street with no where to go we had to sleep in the car with the baby and she didnt care over something so small and she foun out that it wasnt that bad her self and then said that she wanted her peace and quite back to we have the right to t.be pissed being that it was here first and only grand child what would u do. T.
Answer: Dear T.: You always have the right to be mad. I honestly don't know what you can do if your mother in law wants her peace and quiet back. It sounds to me like she is using that unfortunate episode as an excuse.
If and when you get someone else to give you a hand, I think you might want to try harder to get along with them and their neighbors. Blessings, Luise

Crosstalk, from your personal experiences...
Would it bother you if you saw a 24 year old as an assistant branch manager at a bank? Why would it if so?
Part two, I just got a call back for an ABM position within my bank. I am currently a procedural specialist in my bank for our branches. I miss direct face to face contact.
I am completely nervous as I haven't interviewed for a while. This position is something wonderful for me, so I am trying to have answers to any questions that may arrive.
The one question that populates for me is age.
Also? What's good to wear? Monochromatic colors? Slacks? Skirts with tights?
This would take me up a huge notch (another level I have never been before) in my career so is standard business attire the best?

The US has condemned the mistreatment of opposition politicians by the government of Uganda saying it is contrary to the nation's Constitution.
Although the US in a Tuesday statement published on the embassy website didn't specify a particular Opposition leader, they made reference to the recent incidents involving Dr Kizza Besigye, a four time presidential candidate and Kyaddondo East MP, Mr Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine.
"Today we join the many Ugandans asking why their government has recently blocked musical concerts and radio talk shows, disrupted peaceful demonstrations and rallies, and deployed heavy-handed security forces against peaceful citizens," the statement reads in part.
It adds: "Uganda's Constitution guarantees freedom of assembly and expression. We echo the Ugandan people in calling on the government to respect these rights. Strong leaders and states do not stifle speech - they allow their citizens to participate fully and without fear in a vibrant multi-party democracy."
Police have on several occasions blocked Dr Besigye's radio talk shows and Bobi Wine's music concerts in Kampala and other areas.
Bobi Wine has since been put under house arrest.
Police say they have "orders from above" to detain the MP in his house in Magere, Wakiso District.
Kasangati District Police Commander, Mr Raphael Magyezi said they have "orders from above" to ensure that the politicians does not leave his house.
However, Mr Okello Oryem, the minister in charge of International Cooperation said the US embassy has no mandate to lecture Uganda on human rights.
"Nobody should lecture us [Uganda] about human rights. They [Americans] should look at their own [human rights] record," he said.
Meanwhile in a press conference addressed by leaders of the Democratic Party Bloc in Kampala on Tuesday, DP President Norbert Mao and Dr Abed Bwanika, a former presidential aspirant said that after Supreme Court Verdict on Age Limit Case their next Court of Appeal is the "People Power."
The DP Bloc also condemned the Sunday brutal arrest of Bobi Wine and the ban of his music concerts. Bobi Wine's Easter concerts which had been cleared by police were later blocked for alleged failure by organisers, to fulfil security conditions.

FreezingBlue Flashcards
What are the four elements to form an organic molecule?
Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen
Why was it necessary for volcanic activity to release ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor and hydrogen gas into the atmosphere, necessary for formation of the organic molecules?
Since all of the 4 key elements to make organic molecules is present in those it was necessary.
Carbon Dioxide
: CO2(Oxygen)
: (Carbon)
How did the absence of free oxygen (O2) in the primitive atmosphere allowed the formation of organic molecules?
The scarcity of free oxygen on the early earth may actually have been a boon to early life forms
: Strange as it may seem, oxygen is a potent poison to living organisms
. Oxygen rapidly breaks down the complex molecules in cells
. Human cells, and the cells of all animals, plants,
and fungi, have complex chemical machinery that prevents oxygen—most of the time—from harming molecules within the cell.Many kinds of primitive bacteria that survive today do not have this protective machinery and die quickly when exposed to oxygen in the air. Such primitive bacteria are theholdovers from the ancient times of earth's history, and they give scientists clues to the processes that produced
Why was there intense ultra violet radiation from the sun long time ago?
Because there was no ozone layer (made out of O3) But needed O2 to make O3 but no O2
What are the 3 ways organic molecules was formed?
1. Volcanic activity
2. absence of free oxygen
3. sources of energy ex. lightling from intense electrical stormsm and intense uv radiation from sun
(T)How did Miller-Urey sinulate the primitive conditions of Earth in a laboratory setting?
1. Used these gases(CH4, CO2, NH3 and H2) to stimulate the "primitive atmosphere"
2. Uses electrodes discharge sparks to simulate "Lightning"
3. Used heated water to imitate "Ocean"
Why do they think prokaryotes were the first type of cell/bacteria ?
Because it has no ucleus, no membrane bound organelles. Its so simple, all it has is genetic material/ribosomes.
(T)rm mroe complex stable organic molecules?
By the boiling water, lava, oceanic water, primitive atmophere.
1. water evaporates = higher concentration
2. Sugar water molecules connect with rocks and creates "chemical bonds" that connect to larger molecules. (presence of clay rocks)
What is a protobionts?
Predecessors of living cells, (Before Life) basically fat droplets that holds sugars, etc.
How do Protobionts form spontaneously?
It forms by itself, concetrated in small amount of water, repels fat
(T)Protobionts are believed to be non-living yet show signs of life. How do they show signs of life?
1. Fat droplets can get bigger, evolve in size by allowing water and other molecuels to enter.
2. Eventually gets bigger and splits in half (like cell divison)
3. responds to stimili(charged)
(T)What does "excitable" mean?
It means when you touch the cell and the charge changes
What was the first important molecule in protobionts? and Why?(3)
1. Has genetic material(codes for something/has info)
2. Replicates itself(can carry out complemntary base pairing)
3. speeds up chemical reactions(like enzyme)
RNA acts like an enzyme & DNA
Why has DNA replaced RNA as a primary genetic material?
DNA is better than RNA because
RNA is not double helix
DNA is stronger. It can repair itself better.
Exlapin the autogenous model
Its when the cells form its parts on its own
According to the autogenous model, the eukaryotes arose directly from a
single prokaryote ancestor by compartmentalization of functions brought about by infoldings of the prokaryote plasma membrane.
This model is usually accepted for the
endoplasmic reticulum, golgi, and the nuclear membrane, and of organelles enclosed by a single membrane (such as lysosomes
). According to the autogenous hypothesis, mitochondria and chloroplasts have evolved within the protoeukaryote cell by compartmentalizing plasmids (vesicles of DNA) within a pinched offinvagination of the cell membrane. Similarities between mitochondria orchloroplasts and eubacteria can be accountedfor by mosaic evolution in which the components inthecompartment evolve moreslowly than other parts of the cell, and thusretain many eubacterial features.
Mitochondria or chloroplasts may have acquired their double-membrane status by
secondary invagination or more elaborate folding of membranes.
Explain the serial endosymbiotic model
It is believed that over millenia these
transferred some of their own DNA to the host cell's nucleus
during the evolutionary transition from a symbiotic community to an instituted eukaryotic cell
(called "serial endosymbiosis"). T
his hypothesis is thought to be possible because it is known today from scientific observation that transfer of DNA occurs between bacteria species,even if they are not closely related.
Bacteria can take up DNA from their surroundings and have a limited ability to incorporate it into their own genome.
(T)Evidence for the serial endosymiotic model comes from the facts that chloroplasts and mitochondria resemble prokaryotes. Explain and compare the two
1. They are both similar in size.
2. Circular DNA and ribosomes
3. inner membrane of mitochondria has transport proteins/enzymes similar to the inner membrane of prokaryotes
4. Both can divide on its own?

General Questions
What is the best way to contact TIUN?
If you can't find the answer to your question here, you can contact us by phone at Viber (+84) 909 233 501 or through TIUN's Instagram found HERE. Our normal Customer Service hours are Monday - Sunday: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (Pacific). We always strive to reply to our customers as quickly as possible.
What's the difference between the siren tails, mermaid tails, and merman tails?
Our Siren tails are designed for training. They are imported from Fin Fun. Siren Tails are perfect as costume tails or for swiming in the pool, but not intended for free diving in the ocean. They also feature reinforced tips to prevent wear and tear.
Our Mermaid Tails are designed for performance. They are manufactured exclusively from Tiun. They also feature unique shiny textures over the entire tail fabric, which gives them extra shimmer and a special sleek feeling in the water, just like a real mermaid! They are durable, realistic, and absolutely beautiful.
Our Merman Tails are similar to Mermaid tails, except that they are more elaborate tails that feature added fin extensions on the sides, back and ankle areas. These tails are not machine washable.
Are Tiun mermaid tails made in Korea?
All Mermaid swimwear sold on tiun.vn are proudly designed, cut, and sewn in Saigon, Vietnam. But our fabrics are imported from Korea.
How do I know if my child is ready for a mermaid tail and monofin?
At Tiun, we are very passionate about creating the safest products possible. As a general rule, we recommend children wait until they are at least 6 years old and a strong swimmer to swim in one of our mermaid tails. However, no matter the age or skill, adult supervision is a must!
For the littlest mermaids, wearing dress-up tail for kids 3-5 years. These tails can be worn in water and are designed for use without the monofin. The bottom is flared like a mermaid skirt to allow for free leg movement in water and easy walking on land.
What are the care instructions for a Tiun mermaid tail?
Like any specialty fabric, Tiun Mermaid Tails need special care to prevent damage and fading. To prevent wear and preserve the beauty of your new mermaid tail, always use a genuine Tiun monofin with your tail. Also, avoid rubbing your tail against rough surfaces like the bottom of a pool or standing in your tail (tail should be pulled up above the ankles when not in the water). Our suits and mermaid tails are breathable and made from the same material as a normal swimsuit for maximum comfort, so pilling or slight fading from rubbing against rough surfaces can occur. Our 360-Day monofin Warranty available on all Mermaid and Merman tails. Use of a monofin other than Tiun brand voids this warranty. Does not include Siren Tails.
Siren Tails: These can be machine washed in a gentle cycle with cool water. After washing, hang and allow to drip-dry.
Mermaid & Mermaid Tails: Because of the added fins, Mermaid/Merman tails should only be hand washed and hung to air dry. Do not wring or twist, and do not dry clean. Do not use bleach or iron as it may damage the tail design.
Mermaid Swimsuits: Turn your swimwear inside out and gently hand wash using a mild detergent. Instead of squeezing or rubbing, gently swish the garment through the water. Focus on actual stain spots rather than attempting to wring or rub the entire garment. After rinsing, do not wring out the garment as it can damage the glitter and the spandex fibers. Rinse the garment in cool water and lay flat on a towel. Carefully roll up the towel, squeezing out excess water. Hang and allow to drip-dry.
Why are Tiun's tails open at the bottom?
We have designed our mermaid tails to be open at the bottom to make it easy to put on and pull off the monofin inside the mermaid tail. This helps keep your mermaid safe while swimming, as the monofin can be easily removed. The separate monofin also allows you to add new mermaid tail skins to your mermaid wardrobe without purchasing an additional monofin each time. We have found that a mermaid tail open at the bottom is the best choice for safety and maximum flexibility.
Order & Return Questions
Can I return or exchange my mermaid tail or other products?
Mermaid tails: Any new, unused mermaid tail can be returned or exchanged within 30 days except custom tails. Because our custom size and custom design tails are made specifically for you, they cannot be returned, so be sure to choose your sizes carefully and review before submitting.
Other unused products: We happily returns and exchanges on new, unused products up to 30 days from the date-of-purchase if they are not clearance or discontinued items. Any merchandise that has been worn or damaged through use cannot be returned or exchanged, with the exception of our monofin that qualify for the 360 day warranty.
What is the 360 day monofin warranty?
Tiun now has the most durable, long lasting monofin in the industry, and we are willing to guarantee it!
We now warranty your monofin against any holes, tearing or other damage for a full 360 days from the date of purchase when used with a genuine Tiun monofin!
Our monofin is a revolution in the mermaid world! We recognize that one of the biggest issues mermaid tail users face is damage to the tail tips from rubbing and scraping against rough surfaces, so we have found a way to provide maximum protection against this wear and tear.
If you experience any holes or other damage to your Tiun monofin within the first 360 days from purchase, your Tiun monofin is eligible for a one-time, free monofin replacement in the same size/style at no charge. This guarantee applies to all Siren, Mermaid and Merman tails that have been used with a Tiun monofin. Use of other brands of hard plastic monofins voids this warranty.
We hope you'll rest easy knowing you have purchased the best-selling, highest quality mermaid tail available – and you are also covered by our exceptional guarantee! Tiun stands behind our mermaid tail and monofin sets, which are specially designed to protect you from damage in the most common area of wear and tear.

In August 2019, the Future LiME Hub hosted a Hub Convention. The LiME Hub brought together its own members, senior industry experts and senior members of other EPSRC critical mass programmes to discuss the UK's national metals-related research landscape. The opening session, dedicated to outlining the LiME Hub's fundamental research and technology developments, stimulated discussions on the requirements for alloy development from an aerospace and automotive perspective and the demands for recycling of scrap. In addition, it was recognised that there was an opportunity for the EPSRC SUSTAIN Hub (hosted by Swansea University) to take advantage of the LiME Hub's advances in nucleation theory by applying the same principles to steel, thus broadening the national impact of our research.
Cameron Pleydell-Pearce introducing the EPSRC SUSTAIN Hub at the LiME Hub Convention.
In the second session, presentations were given on behalf of the UK aerospace, automotive, and high value manufacturing sectors, each providing a current status and strategic view for the future. Clear overlaps emerged, and to take this forward, the LiME Hub will be leading, with the support of the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) and the Advanced Proposition Centre (APC), an Aerospace and Automotive Workshop scheduled for February 2020 to cross map materials and processing needs and to encourage cooperation between the two sectors.
The third and final session of the day consisted of presentations from other EPSRC critical mass programmes, with a discussion that followed identifying clear collaborative potential between the EPSRC LiME and Metrology Hubs and the EPSRC LightForm programme, including the potential for cross-programme supervision of PhDs.

Big Pour is the companion label to Kelly Fleming Wines. Each vintage brings a new opportunity to reinvent the Big Pour blend by building from our estate Cabernet Sauvignon and adding lovely varietals from neighboring vineyards.
2016 Kelly Fleming Big Pour Cabernet
Kelly Fleming Wines is proud to present the newest release of Big Pour. This wine is defined by our estate Cabernet Sauvignon and enhanced with fruit from neighboring Napa Valley vineyards.
The 2016 Big Pour combines 87% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Kelly Fleming Estate vineyard in Calistoga along with 9% Syrah from Coombsville and 3% Malbec from Oakville. As always, we suggest you pour big and remember that this wine pairs particularly well with family and friends. Limited quantities are available directly from the winery.
Tasting Notes:
The 2016 Big Pour Cabernet Sauvignon is a stellar representation of the 2016 vintage in Napa Valley, with its purity of fruit and superb balance and grace. On the nose one finds a complex array of aromatics: sweet, confectionary notes like bing cherry, dark chocolate and black licorice are deftly interwoven with savory tones of dried sage, sweet tobacco and stony graphite. The wine is plush and silky across the palate, yet supported by fine and elegant tannins throughout. The core of red cherry fruit flavors coming from the Kelly Fleming Estate vineyard, gain complexity and lift with small additions of Malbec and Syrah. Overall, this wine has the substance and structure to age beautifully over the next 10+ years, but is also completely drinkable right at this moment.

It's been a very long thirteen years since brothers, Max and Igor Cavalera, wrote music together. While many fans still long for a full SEPULTURA reunion, fans have CAVALERA CONSPIRACY to enjoy in the meantime. Starting off with the opening track, "Inflikted," the band set the tone for the album with an immediate shot of adrenaline – uptempo, hard hitting metal/punk. And do Max and Igor sound great together? Fuck yeah, they do. They lock in perfectly, and it's obvious that they haven't lost a single step (just listen to Dark Ages and Dante XXI). Musically, the album sounds a lot like the return to Max's (and Igor's) brutal/extreme roots that was SOULFLY's last album, Dark Ages. However, here there may be even more of those fast, brutal riffing of early SEPULTURA. Also, there are a healthy helping of new riffing styles that have never been heard before in Max's back catalogue. Igor not only lays down a top-notch metal/punk foundation for the songs but also adds his unique flare for tribal drumming in numerous parts of Inflikted. His godly precision, skill, and power are definitely steps above any of today's flavor of the month metal drummers. Lead guitarist Marc Rizzo plays a pivotal role with his excellent shredding skills. His lead work takes the songs to another level and can be found in not only the solo sections, but intros and main riffs of songs. GOJIRA vocalist/guitarist Joe Duplantier's most noticeable contribution lays in his MORBID ANGEL-worshipping riff contribution in "Ultra-Violent" and his backing vocals in "Dark Ark" and the aforementioned song. Inflikted, as a whole, is just a very strong package of catchy, memorable songs that possesses the urgency of those classic punk/hardcore records that Max and Igor grew up on in Belo Horizonte. Is Inflikted the best album of 2008? Maybe not, but it might be the most charismatic, memorable, and relevant album. (Roadrunner Records)
10 thoughts on "CAVALERA CONSPIRACY – Inflikted"
being a longtime old school sepultura fan it's great to see them bak together i'll be picking this up for sure
This album kicks ass! I'm so glad the Cavalera's are making music together again.
thank you!thank you!win 1 scrapebox license

How to get good grades in college
If you are preparing to head off to college, you may be worried about what the future has in store. However, there is no need for you to fret. If you approach your college education in the right way, you have every chance of getting the grades you need. The only chance you have of slipping up is if you take your eyes off the ball and fail to think ahead. In order to prevent this from happening, you will need to take on board the following five steps. They will guide you through the process of completing college and achieving academic success.
Plan ahead
If you are determined to get the grades you require, it is essential that you have a clear plan in place. Otherwise, you may find yourself overwhelmed by the process of furthering your education. You may also struggle to meet your deadlines in time, as you could be surprised by just how long a project takes. However, once you have your plan in place, you will know how to tackle all the twists and turns of completing your college degree.
Boost your brain power
The next step is to boost your brain power. This will give you the tools you need to thrive during your course. If you are wondering how to go about this, you should visit Examined Existence. This incredible online resource is a brilliant way for you to find out more about your mind and the way it works. From the foods you should be eating to the mental exercises you should be carrying out, it is vital that are aware of all your options.
Invest in your resources
Another important step is to invest in your resources. As a student, you may be tempted to cut costs whenever possible. However, in the long run it is worth your while to purchase the best resources available. Don't worry about burning through your finances, you can always buy your essentials second hand. There are sure to be lots of past students who are eager to sell on their old text books, journals, and equipment. Another tip is to apply for any campus bursaries, as they could provide you with any additional funds.
Collaborate with your fellow students
Although it is essential that you find your own path through college, there are also plenty of benefits to collaborating with your fellow students. Whether you attend study sessions or informal debates, the most important thing is that you have a strong system of support to rely on. Why struggle in silence, when you could be turning to your fellow students for answers, guidance, and motivation?
Work out what you are going do after college
Finally, you should work out what you are going to do after college. Whilst it is possible that your career goals will change over time, having a rough idea of your future will help you to stay focused and upbeat. Every time you find yourself feeling down, you will be able to visualize an exciting and lucrative career path. You will also have plenty of time to research companies you would like to work for and to secure impressive summer internships.

On November 5, 2013, during a regular session of the Diocesan Council, His Eminence, Metropolitan Hilarion, gave his blessing for the organization of a new Diocesan Center at St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Howell, NJ. As reported earlier in a press release on the Council's February 10, 2014 meeting, the official opening of the Diocesan Center will be held on September 12, 2014, at which point the Cathedral will become the see of the ruling bishop of the Eastern American Diocese.
On February 25, 2014, His Eminence travelled to Howell to meet with the current rector and clergy of St. Alexander's – Protopresbyter Valery Lukianov, Priest Seraphim Chemodakov, and Protodeacon Nicholas Lukianov. Also participating in the meeting on behalf of the Diocesan Council were Diocesan Secretary Archpriest Serge Lukianov, Archpriest Victor Potapov, Hieromonk Alexander (Frizzell), and Reader Peter Lukianov. On behalf of St. George's Church in Howell ‒ the current Diocesan Center, which will be merged with St. Alexander's ‒ Archpriest Boris Slootsky and Protodeacon Leonid Roschko also participated in the meeting.
Metropolitan Hilarion called the meeting in order to inform the parish clergy of the developments discussed by the Diocesan Council in relation to the new Diocesan Center. The First Hierarch also prepared a special appeal to the parishioners of St. Alexander's, which was read aloud at the start of the meeting, was mailed to all parishioners after the Triumph of Orthodoxy, and can be read below. His Eminence expressed his sincere gratitude to Fr. Valery for his over 40 years of dedicated service to the parish and asked for his continued guidance and support throughout the transition process. In turn, Fr. Valery shared his thoughts about the spiritual significance of a new Diocesan Center being organized in the first parish founded by Archbishop Vitaly (Maximenko) in America, which was also the site of Archbishop Nikon (Rklitsky's) episcopal consecration. Fr. Valery expressed his joy at the Metropolitan's decision for a new center and thanked him for accepting his request for retirement.
Address of the His Eminence HILARION
Metropolitan of Eastern America & New York
First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad
to the Parishioners of Saint Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Howell, NJ
Dearly beloved in the Lord Reverend Fathers, brothers and sisters,
We greet you with the same salutation with which our Savior greeted the Holy Apostles after His Resurrection: "Peace be unto you" (John 20:19). In 1948, during the Great Consecration of the original Saint Alexander Nevsky Church (currently the Church Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God), the ever-memorable Archbishop Nikon (Rklitsky) was consecrated to the episcopacy on the same day. We would like to echo the words that he spoke to your fathers and grandfathers, the parishioners of your parish: "My heart rejoices seeing you, O radiant children of the Church, parishioners of the renowned Lakewood parish! It has always been a joy to pray in your wonderful church…"
During the November 5th, 2013 session of the Diocesan Council, Council members discussed the need to organize a new administrative center with a large church that would serve as a diocesan center. With our blessing, the Council resolved to organize the new Diocesan Center at Saint Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Based on your longtime rector Protopresbyter Valery Lukianov's request for retirement, this decision came after much prayerful deliberation and consideration of all factors associated with such a monumental and historic move. On the same day, we informed Fr. Valery of this decision and asked for his assistance in the transition process, to which he graciously agreed.
Since there are no set regulations by which a normal parish is converted into a diocesan center, we tasked the Council with preparing an administrative plan, according to which the new center will be organized and operated.
Understanding the many challenges associated with this process, Council members met on February 10th, 2014 and carefully considered several proposals to restructure the diocesan administration and create a new set of parish by-laws specific to your parish in its designation as the Diocesan Center. Because of the critical nature of this process, the new parish by-laws will be ratified at the next session of the Diocesan Council, after all of its members have had the opportunity to pray and carefully consider them. The final decision rests with us in our capacity as the ruling diocesan bishop. Once the by-laws have been finalized, we will personally present and explain them to you at an extraordinary meeting of the parish, to be held after Pascha.
In the meantime, we would like to explain several decisions that have already been made with regards to the Saint Alexander Nevsky Parish and its new role as the administrative center of the Diocese:
1) Protopresbyter Valery Lukianov's request for retirement has been granted and will go into effect on September 12th, 2014. In appreciation of their many years of service, Fr. Valery and Matushka Irene Lukianov will be provided with fully subsidized parish housing and medical insurance for the remainder of their lives. Fr. Valery will continue to serve and hear confessions in the parish, where he shall have the title of Pastor Emeritus.
2) We, in our capacity as Ruling Bishop of the Eastern American Diocese, will serve as the rector, and will be the supreme executive and spiritual authority in all matters relating to the administration and day-to-day life of the Diocesan Center and St. Alexander Nevsky Parish.
3) Saint Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is given the special designation of "Diocesan Cathedral" – it will become the See of the diocesan Ruling Bishop. All liturgical practice shall conform to standard hierarchal formulae.
4) Archpriest Serge Lukianov will be assigned Dean of the Cathedral to assist in operating the parish.
5) Saint George's Church in Howell, NJ will be transferred under the auspices of the Diocesan Center and all parish priests, deacons, subdeacons, and readers will be assigned to St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
6) Parish life will continue to function normally with regards to the parish school, sisterhood, Saint Alexander's Foundation, and all other normal activities.
7) Membership in the parish shall continue as before and parishioners retain the right to participate in Annual General Meetings of the parish, where they have the right to elect members of the parish council.
8) A transition team has been organized under the direction of diocesan secretary Archpriest Serge Lukianov and tasked with researching all questions associated with the logistics of organizing the new Diocesan Center. The transition team has been authorized to meet with parish clergy, council, and parishioners, as well as to have full access to parish property and documents. Their findings and recommendations will be presented to us during upcoming sessions of the Diocesan Council. Members of your parish council and administration will be invited to participate in the working sessions of the transition team to assure that everyone's voice is heard in the process.
Understanding that you may still have unanswered questions or concerns, we ask for your patience in this most crucial and sensitive time for your parish and our entire Diocese. However, it is necessary to address and put to rest several false notions that have arisen throughout this process. As the world around us descends further into chaos and moves away from the salvific teachings of the Holy Church, some may be tempted to question the motives behind the organization of the new Diocesan Center in Lakewood.
At every meeting of the Diocesan Council, we underscored the unacceptable and completely intolerable nature of any organization or administration of the Church other than that established by the Holy Apostles, their disciples the Bishops, and the Holy Fathers of the Ecumenical and Local Councils. At the root of Church organization and administration must lie Apostolic Canon 34, which proclaims, "The bishops of every nation must acknowledge him who is first among them and account him as their head, and do nothing of consequence without his consent…" In his letter to the Smyrnæans, Chapter VIII, the Holy Hieromartyr Ignatius the God-Bearer writes, "Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop." The Apostolic Men and the Holy Fathers clearly teach that without the Bishop, there is no Church.
This cannot be said to mean that the laity are a stratum in the Church completely devoid of rights, as some opponents of the canonical order of church life and proponents of an unnatural "ecclesiastical democracy" malevolently misrepresent. Faithful laymen, if they are truly faithful and place at the head of the corner of their lives the salvation of their souls unto life eternal, are obliged in complete obedience to their bishops and pastors, but only insofar as those same pastors preserve inviolate their own obedience to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
These are the principles on which our entire Diocese has been built, as has been evidenced in the writings and teachings of all of the holy hierarchs and pastors who have come before us. The founder of our Diocese and your parish, Archbishop Vitaly (Maximenko), was a man of steadfast prayer who believed that the faithful of the Russian Church Abroad living in America had a great responsibility to preserve the Holy Church from all defilement and disorder. We appeal to you through the words that he spoke at the Sixth Diocesan Assembly in 1948, words that apply to us today, perhaps more than ever: "In a difficult time, when all are called to account for their faith, the Lord in His Providence has placed each of us on duty, to keep guard over the Church. All the more so are faithfulness and vigilance required of us. In the heart of every one of us, these cautionary words must sound the warning bell: 'Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation' (Matthew 26:41)."
We firmly believe that, in all of his monastic wisdom, Archbishop Vitaly foresaw the bright future of Saint Alexander Nevsky Church and the important role that it would play in the strengthening of our Eastern American Diocese. Having founded this parish as his first in America, he said: "I pray God that this, my firstling, the parish of Saint Alexander Nevsky, might flourish as a tree planted at the waters." Together we must strive to fulfill the will and testament of our founder by building a center here that will serve not only the administrative needs of our Diocese, but most importantly – the spiritual needs of our faithful. To do this, we must cultivate within ourselves the chief virtue of every Christian – love. "By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another," said our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (John 13:35).
God willing, over the next several years, we plan to host many spiritual events in Lakewood, such as pastoral, youth, and choir conferences. We hope to focus more on education so that we may better prepare the future generation of our Diocese. Because of this, many clergy and faithful will travel to your parish in search of consolation, spiritual direction, and the strengthening of their spirit. It will be up to you to open your hearts to them in the same way that you have opened them up to us on the occasion of our many visits to Lakewood.
We recall the words of your rector, Protopresbyter Valery Lukianov, who on several occasions noted that "in Lakewood reside the kindest people in the world." This statement he spoke out of the depth of his heart, which has always been filled with endless love for his flock. We understand the truth of his words when we hear them echoed by the second rector of your parish, Protopresbyter Vasiliy Boschanovsky, who had this to say about love: "Whosever loves God cannot but love his neighbor as one who bears the image and likeness of God, as an object of God's particular love, and for whom Christ the Savior gave His life." Only by abiding in constant love for our Savior and each other, will we be able to accomplish the great task that is set before us today.
Your beloved rector Fr. Valery has dedicated his entire life in service to your parish and to you – the flock which God has entrusted to him. His accomplishments as an engineer and builder are clearly evident to you, especially when you pray under the arches of the magnificent Saint Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, which you built together. But beautiful churches and parish buildings are not his greatest achievement. Fr. Valery's legacy is his connection to the great hierarchs, venerable monastics, holy priests, and the righteous people of God who have fortified our Church Abroad throughout Her long-suffering and difficult history. He received the grace of the Holy Spirit through ordination at the hands of our father among the saints, Archbishop John of Shanghai & San Francisco, and Metropolitan Philaret (Voznesensky), both of whose relics now lay incorrupt. He received his pastoral knowledge from some of the greatest pillars that the Russian Church had ever cultivated, namely Archbishop Averky (Taushev), Archbishop Nikon (Rklitsky), Archimandrite Constantine (Zaitsev), and many others. This wealth of spiritual knowledge and wisdom has helped him to strengthen and grow the parish throughout the decades. We have no desire or intention to disrupt the current momentum of parish life, but seek only to build upon Fr. Valery's spiritual accomplishments.
As we face the temptations and challenges that the future will bring, we rely on Fr. Valery and other senior clerics of our Diocese to guide us along the path that was laid out by the founding hierarchs of the Russian Church Abroad. We would under no circumstances ever allow the new administration to disregard Fr. Valery's many years of service and the fruits of his labors, which we see in your person as the parishioners and stewards of the parish.
We are counting on your collective support to help us build a spiritual and administrative center that will reflect the vibrant and multifaceted nature of our Eastern American Diocese, yet firmly grounded in the fundamental teachings and traditions of our Church Abroad. Most importantly, we ask that you strengthen and augment your prayers, especially in the upcoming holy days of Great Lent, so that we may keep in mind the one thing that is needful – attaining eternal salvation through Christ. Let us not rely on ourselves, but constantly run to our Savior with a penitent heart and ask Him to be our guide throughout this process. Let us remember the words that were spoken by the third rector of your parish, Abbot Anthony (Medvedev; subsequently Archbishop of San Francisco) who said, "When we so much as remember our Heavenly Father, so much as lean in His direction, He opens His Fatherly embrace and gives us to commune of His Only-Begotten Son!"
I call down upon you all, my dear ones, God's every blessing!
Metropolitan of Eastern America & New York
First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad

Exploit to unlock Motorola bootloaders

The bad news is, this only works for Motorola devices on Qualcomm platforms. Nevertheless, I'm posting it here in case it becomes useful: http://blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/04/unlocking-motorola-bootloader.html

I heard there are also exploits for the omap3 Motorola devices that have signed kernels. Thanks for the link.
RE: Exploit to unlock Motorola bootloaders - Added by Linus Drumbler almost 7 years ago
I don't think that's the case. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443678 is a long thread on unlocking the omap3 Motorola Defy, and just by skimming it you can tell it was eventually found to be impossible. If its bootloader weren't locked, the Defy might be a good target for Replicant (I know it's already evaluated as "impossible" in TargetsEvaluation). Motorola may support it with their unlock program, but look these terms I found in their agreement:
"User agrees not to transfer (i.e. sell, lease, or otherwise receive compensation from any third party for the right to use, possess, or operate such Device) such Device to any third party..."
"User authorizes Motorola to disable the Device and/or its connection to a wireless network, or to authorize a Wireless Carrier to disable the Device and/or its connection to a wireless network...in Motorola's sole determination..."
This takes away all the freedom the user gains from installing Replicant.

Laura Marling "I Feel Your Love (Director's Cut)"
Published Jul 17, 2015UK-born, Americana-tinged singer-songwriter Laura Marling returned earlier this year with her latest studio LP Short Movie. Today (July 17) she dropped a deluxe edition of the album, which is aptly going by the name Short Movie: Director's Cut.
The new version of the album features four extra cuts, including formerly 7-inch-only tracks "David" and "Daisy," as well as new extended versions of originally included cuts "I Feel Your Love" and "Warrior."
"We recorded them this way to honour the alchemical change that occurs within a musical group when you add a new brain or flavour to it," Marling explained in a press release. "Pete's style of playing combined with a lack of need to be delicate for the sake of hearing strings led to the tone becoming thicker and grittier. And as an unexpected result, we discovered that we like sticky rhythms...and seem to speak a similar language in rhythm and tone, it's a very special quite rare thing!"
Marling has shared the full-band Director's Cut version of "I Feel Your Love," and you can scroll past the updated extended tracklisting give it a listen below.
Short Movie: Director's Cut
1. Warrior
2. False Hope
3. I Feel Your Love

We Brought an 'America Box' to Cannes, Introducing the World to Simple Pleasures of U.S. Life
And we came in way under budget
America doesn't always have the best image among our friends overseas, and at this year's Cannes Lions, AdFreak set out on a humble quest to fix everything.
Our tool for global reputation improvement? The America Box.
Through a thoroughly researched and exhaustively planned 1-hour trip to a Publix grocery store, I loaded up on a few of the items that make America truly great. More importantly, these are the simple pleasures that you simply won't find in the aisles of your Parisian supermarché.
I lugged this clunky cornucopia of consumer delights across the Atlantic, then cajoled non-Americans into digging in and seeing what they could find.
Here are the myriad joys of discovery that awaited them:
Aw yeah, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. And London-based Alicia Navarro, founder of Skimlinks, was STOKED. "I love American Mac and Cheese!" And we don't think she was just being polite.
That's right, Bac'n Pieces with no actual bacon. Native Brit Angela Bowen from Nice Shoes can enjoy all that bacony flavor in the convenience of soy form.
Here's a man who appreciates a surprise batch of Virginia Peanuts and will surely sing their praises back home in Britain.
We assumed this Gatorade mint whey protein bar would go over like a Trump 2016 bumper sticker, but avid cyclist Richard Bon of Clear Channel U.K. was earnestly happy to have the fuel.
One of the only actual high-quality items we brought. See, America isn't all about cheap eats. But we are all about peanut butter.
It's true. Chocolate chips are a very American-only thing. Just ask any ex-pat. These things are worth their weight in gold just about anywhere except North America.
"Do you have peanut butter in there?" was the No. 1 most-asked question of the day. Hell yeah we did.
The best part of this one was all the Americans who instantly started telling Australian-born Bridget Bulters of DiGenarro Communications the 2,000 ways you can use Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (and none of us actually make corn muffins).
Iris Worldwide's global PR director, Julia Nightengale, couldn't wait to try Paul Prudhomme's Magic Barbecue Seasoning.
Admittedly, British-born Harriet Flory from BBDO North America is based in New York City, but at least now she can return home with an expanded knowledge of her adopted home's rich cultural landscape.

Class Accuses Verizon of Grade-A Screwup
CHICAGO (CN) – Foreign citizens accuse Verizon of "systematically" subjecting them to "the reckless, perhaps fraudulent, administration of their retirement benefits and deferred compensation for years … and, among other things, an attempt to aid and abet perjury."
The federal class action, led by plaintiffs from Panama and Italy, claims that Verizon "wrongfully shortchanged" its foreign workers and ignored U.S. tax laws by deducting U.S. Social Security, Medicare and income taxes from foreign employees' retirement benefits. Named plaintiff Mario Boeri, of Italy, claims Verizon underpaid him by more than $50,000 in the first of two lump-sum benefits, and underpaid him again on the second payment, for the same reason.
Boeri and Ramon Mejia, of Panama, say they made "Herculean efforts over the years to recover the amounts that were wrongfully withheld from their employee benefits." And they say that when Verizon "finally determined these taxes were wrongfully withheld, rather than informing the class members of the problem and advising them to seek reimbursement from the IRS, they instead asked the class members to commit perjury by averring under oath that their Verizon-assigned, internal-employee-identification numbers were, in fact, Social Security numbers."
On behalf for the class, Mejia and Boeri say: "Verizon and its plans' fiduciaries have systematically subjected these people to the reckless, perhaps fraudulent, administration of their retirement benefits and deferred compensation for years, resulting in the loss of their promised and earned retirement income."
They class – estimated at thousands of workers – consists of foreign workers who never lived or worked in the United States but from whom Verizon deducted money for Social Security, Medicare and federal income taxes.
The complaint states: "(S)ince at least 1998, Verizon and the agents under its direction have bungled the tax treatment of its foreign employees' income and retirement benefits. This mismanagement continues through to the present day, despite several acknowledgments by Verizon that its tax treatment is faulty and that its current and former foreign employees have been wrongly injured by the company's reckless administration of benefits."
The class claims the first red flag went up in March 2000 when foreign workers received an IRS discrepancy notice regarding deductions of U.S. taxes from a Verizon stock option program. Verizon blamed it on the stock option management company's inability to tell the difference between a global identification number, given to each foreign worker, and a U.S. Social Security number, the class says.
"Verizon's July 2000 letter assured the class members that Solomon Smith Barney was "'taking steps to resolve this issue with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service' and stated that Verizon was assigning them each a new Global ID to 'prevent this issue from reoccurring for stock options you exercise in the future,'" the class claims.
The foul-ups continued as Verizon and its administrators listed class members as U.S. citizens, though the phone company's own records showed they were not, and that they neither worked nor lived in the United States.
During the plaintiffs' "Herculean efforts," the class claims, Verizon sent a "mass mailing" that in effect suborned perjury, according to the complaint: "As with the March 2000 letter regarding the IRS discrepancy notice from Solomon Smith Barney … arose out of problems with the Global ID numbers Verizon assigned to its foreign employees for tax withholding purposes.
"The letter stated that the class members' Global ID numbers were flagged during an annual audit because they matched the Social Security numbers 'of a deceased individual.' The letter then threatened that each class member's 'future pension and/or health and welfare benefits will be suspended effective January 1, 2010, until you respond and mail back the enclosed affidavit.'
"The enclosed 'Letter of Affidavit' asked each class member to swear under penalty of perjury that 'I was born on [date of birth], with a Social Security number [Verizon-issued Global ID number], and presently reside at,' followed by a blank space for the class member's current address.
"The defendants involved in drafting and sending this letter and affidavit knew or should have known that the class members could not truthfully swear that they were born 'with a Social Security number' matching their Global ID number because (1) they were born outside the United States, (2) the Global ID numbers were issued by Verizon, and (3) the same problem had occurred at least once before with Salomon Smith Barney," according to the complaint.
The class seeks damages for ERISA violations, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, tort, wrongful denial of benefits and attempting to aid and abet perjury.
It seeks restitution, equitable remedies, appointment of a neutral auditor, costs, and wants Verizon and its codefendants removed as fiduciaries and administrators of class members' retirement programs.
It is represented by Matthew Heffner with Susman Heffner.
The defendants are Verizon Management Pension Plan, Verizon Excess Pension Plan, Verizon Executive Life Insurance Plan, Verizon Income Deferral Plan, Verizon Employee Benefits Committee, Verizon Communications Inc., AON Corporation, Wells Fargo & Company, FMR LLC, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC and John Does 1-25.

Team Adem donates thermometers to Cancer Care Unit
Whilst visiting the hospital on Monday (5th) for another round of Lu's weekly treatment, Lu & I donated 50 digital thermometers to the Cancer Care Unit at Nambour General Hospital – on behalf of Team Adem. The thermometers will be given to patients who are undergoing cancer treatment and don't have a thermometer at home. Chemotherapy can have a major impact on a patient's immune system and a temperature rise can be a sign of infection, which can become life-threatening within hours. Any patient undergoing cancer treatment and has a temperature rise of 38 or more is advised to get to a hospital emergency department as soon as possible.
Pictured with me are Oncology nurses Sally (left) & Alana who with all the staff do a wonderful job in caring for patients on a daily basis.

The undiscovered, unexplored and enchanting hill town of Nampong hides in a lot for its visitors. The 'Pangsau Pass' standing as the gateway to Burma, makes as a must visit destination for all adventure enthusiasts and history freaks. In close proximity to the pass, is the region's most popular tourist attraction, the 'Lake of No Return'. Although one may not drive up to this enigmatic lake which is linked with numerous fascinating stories, its sheer vastness and calm surroundings can still be witnessed from a distance standing at the pass. In case one is in Nampong during the winter fest, must not miss an opportunity to cross the border and visit the 'Pangsau Pass Market'.
which again counts amongst best tourism places in the town,lined with small shops selling traditional Burmese handlooms and handicrafts, simply perfect for avid shopaholics. For gastronomes too, this market is no less than a paradise and offers them a rare opportunity to treat their taste buds with delectable flavours of local Myanmar cuisine. No holidays in Nampong are complete without taking a tour to the 'World War II Cemetery' which lies enroute to the pass and stands as a testimony to those brave-heart soldiers, labourers and engineers who gave their lives constructing the hellish 'Stilwell Road'.

When they say 'you can't go home again,' I always think they're talking about Chernobyl. I can certainly return to the place of my childhood and will do just that this Sunday for the first-ever Dain City Reunion.
From the age of two until I took off for university I lived in quirky little hamlet halfway between a drive-in theatre and the Welland Canal. Lost in the middle of John Deere, Mud Lake, Ramey's Bend and Bethel, this place might as well have been the midway between the moon and New York City.
The names changed over the years, Airline Junction became Welland Junction, Dain Manufacturing became John Deere, SS No. 4 became Bridgeview School. One day Sunnyside Dairy pulled the plug on their milking machines and put the horses out to pasture. One night I went to bed in a house at 53 Ontario Street and woke up in the morning at 53 Forks Road East. Nothing had moved except the dog who ran away from home in protest.
Welland amalgamated the village in the 50's and changed the name to Welland Junction and now they refer to it as Ward 6 but memories are too long and pride too strong and it will always be known as Dain City.
I spent all eight years of my grade school education at SS No. 4. There was no pressure to win because every school sports team I played on was greeted with chants of: "We're Number 4!" "We're Number 4!"
The commercial centre of town included Ort's convenience store and Frank Mihalyi's soda shop/gas station. We hung out at Mihalyi's store. Sid Hilton would sit at the end stool slurping Coke through a straw he crushed because it make the drink last longer. Frank sold cigarettes to kids for two cents each. Deed's Place, a tiny pub and diner occupy that property today. Evans General Store was also the post office and the Walmart of its day.
It seemed The Dain City Hotel, on the canal next to the railway bridge, had always been there. Once a stagecoach inn, where the horses were bedded in the basement, The Dain City House over the years was a brothel and illegal betting shop. I delivered the Saturday newspaper to both of the bookies – they were by far the best tippers. From public house to a private residence, "The Dainer" is now an abandoned building with a couple of chip wagons in the parking lot.
I lived next door to one of the bookies that operated out of The Dainer. My mother was amazed the house was always filled with new fridges and stoves. Turns out it was the Leons the furniture boys. They gambled a lot. They lost a lot. They paid off in appliances.
Just down my street and over the tracks was the Welland Drive-In, the hub of summer activity. Walking to the concession stand in the dark, you had to be careful not to trip over a speaker chord or a brassiere. Kids today have sex education classes. Malcolm Hilton and me, we had binoculars and the Welland Drive-In.
Towering 230 feet (70 metres) over the Welland Canal, the lift bridges were our midway rides; the last kid to let go and plunge into the blue water below as the bridge rose slowly skyward, won. The last kid still holding on for dear life, but chickened out of jumping had to stay up there until the boat went under and the bridge came down. He lost.
I went fishing with Jimmy Creighton at John's Lake, which was really just a big pond. I brought fishing tackle; he brought dynamite. Suddenly, there was an explosion and a lot of fish swimming upside down, but nothing for me to catch.
I went duck hunting only once, with Allan Creighton at nearby Mud Lake. I shot him in the leg. We were both quite surprised. To this day, I thank Allan – for not returning fire. That could have gotten ugly in a hurry.
I smoked my first cigarette with Malcolm Hilton out in the bush near the construction site of Dain City's new subdivision. I coughed and spit my way through a long, unfiltered Viceroy cigarette Malcolm had nicked from his older brother. On my way home, I vomited green bile on my desert boots. That was my last cigarette.
In 1958, we began to get our news from CHOW-Radio, which went on the air at its newly built studio on Forks Road West. Before that, we relied solely on Alex Hilton. She had a watchful eye and a party line. If you did a bad thing, first your Mom and then the world would hear about it.
Among all those little settlements that sprung up in the first half of the 1900s, Dain City has won the war of attrition. I was a bat boy on a Dain City softball team that played against Perry Station, White Pigeon, Cooks Mills and Netherby. None of those villages exist today.
I'm amazed at the number of kids who never left, stayed to raise their own kids in this quiet, safe setting. Occasionally, I take a slow drive through the village. Little has changed. The school is now an apartment building and two of three stores are still operating. Then Allan Creighton spots me and starts running like hell toward Buffalo, New York.
Dain City – a tough but vibrant village that survived the test and ravages of time. The reunion is long overdue.

text: Sharon Evans's portrait of a troubled Chicago sex-crimes cop boasts an intriguing concept. At the story's center is Jim, whose glib detachment crumbles after a rape victim he's disrespected places a curse on him. Jim's already strained relationships with his current and former partners and his lieutenant--all women--become even more tense when he's pursued by three Furies, ancient Greek goddesses of vengeance. Evans and director Peter Amster's excellent cast convey the odd combination of drudgery and danger in police work and the psychological stress on the officers as they deal with lying perps and devastated victims. But Evans's uneven juxtaposition of police-procedural realism and mythic fantasy gives the play the patchy feel of a work in progress. --Albert Williams a Through 7/1: Thu-Sat 8 PM, Sun 7 PM, Live Bait Theater, 3914 N.
