It's that time of year again, when many of the instructors at Lindy Focus are working on choreography either for an evening performance or the grand New Years Eve show. Since I, too, am working on learning choreography, I figured I'd share my process with you.
Truth be told, I'd much prefer to learn choreography in person, however, most often that is not an option. I've had the priveledge of working with other talented, international travelers such as: Nikki and Shesha Marvin, Mikey Pedroza, Laura Keat, Nick Williams, Sharon Davis, Alice Mei, Thomas Blacharz, and Sarah Breck – to name a few – and more often than not, someone sends a video across the WWW and hopes the person on the receiving end can learn the choreography in full. In my last performance with Alice, I sent her my notes (I will give an example later), a few breakdown videos, and a link to me performing the routine.
Check us out! Alice was a freaking champ at learning all of the details! We probably got 4-5 hours of rehearsal time in together before our performance, but that is rather unusual. Honestly, if you can get a full hour with your partner before performance time, it's a blessing!
So moving along. The wonderful, marvelous, and effervescent Evita Arce sent me a piece of choreography to learn and it's a really fun number. The song is New Orleans Bump by Wynton Marsalis and the dancers in the video are trained, New-York-dancers. What this means is that I have my work cut out for me!
To be specific, I have been sent a rehearsal video that is done to music; I didn't get any prior notes or counts or explanations or anything of the sort. The reason this might be on interest is that I'm going to learn exactly what's on the video, including any mistakes the dancers made in the video. Since I don't have confirmation on the movement, I sometimes have to find the common denominator between the dancers when their timing isn't together. Fun times!
I'm going to give a rundown of my process learning choreography. This isn't the only way to do it, but it's how I am best able to learn/visualize the choreo on a number of different levels.
- Download the video so I can watch it forwards and backwards. This helps me break down transitions, tricky timing, or something much-too-fancy to see at realtime. I'm on a mac and I prefer using Quicktime over a different player because I can comb through the video second by second. Suuuuuuuuuper important!
- Get a hold of the song. Check Spotify, buy it on Itunes, check your personal music library, or get it from the choreographer.
- Breakdown the song. I first break it down into eight-counts so I can see how long it is. I go through it again and put in time codes. I go through it one more time and put in musical cues that can help me identify what is where. Here's a screenshot of what that might look like.
So what are we looking at?
I have my downloaded Quicktime video (upper left), I'm playing the song off of Spotify (lower left), and I'm writing my choreo down in Evernote (righthand side).
- Now here comes the (potentially) difficult part: breaking down the movement 8-count by 8-count. What is helpful for me to know is what foot my weight is on (if you've taken classes from me you know how important this is), what my arms are doing, and what count something happens on. I don't need all of that information on every 8ct, but I need at least one of those three things.
- After I annotate a few phrases, I'll go back through the video and do the choreography with my body. I go through the sections slowly. First I need to know where my body is going, and then I need to learn to string it together with the movement on either side of it.
- Once I have a decent idea of where my body is going, I then put the video on and try to dance that section with the music at full tempo.
- Next, I break down a few more phrases, dance it, and put it to music. It doesn't need to be perfect, but something that looks similar to the video
- Once I make it to the end of the choreography, I then try to run the routine while watching the video. I'm not worried if it's a disaster. Again, I just want to be able to get through it.
- DAY TWO: Yup, this takes me more than one day if I'm really going to perform it. I put the video on and try dancing it again. This shows me what solidified and what didn't.
- Go back to the sections that I can't remember or suck at. I go through them slowly to build the muscle memory I am lacking. When I do this, I take my time.
- Once I can do it all the way through (again, it doesn't need to be perfect), I turn off the video and do it just to music. When I find the next set of glitches I work through those (I'm always surprised how many visual cues I'm taking). This is helpful in order to attach the movement to the music. Again, I rework the sections I can't remember or suck at.
- Almost there! Now I need to try it facing the other way! What?? Yes-sir-ree! I have found I can learn choreography faster when I keep myself positioned in one direction in a room. I know at certain points in the music I should be facing a certain direction. If you can get through your piece of choreo while doing the routine facing a different direction, you should be fiiiiiiine.
- Last step!! Dancing it in costume!! Perhaps that seems silly, but it makes a HUGE different. Every – do you hear me? – everyprofessional knows they should run their routines in the costume before taking the stage. If you learn the routine in flats but have to perform in heels, you'll probably be surprised with where you balance is. If you've been practicing in one skirt but performing in another, you might not know how slippery the material is (that's terrifying while doing aerials). That fun thing you're planning on wearing in your hair? Yeah, that might get knocked off, stab you in the eye, or stab your partner in the eye. The thing is, you'll never know unless you've had at least one run. So do it. Full costume. Underwear and hair pieces. Do it.
So there you have it! What do you think? Ridiculous? Amazing? Unnecessary? Fun?
- Send the song along with the videos (yes, plural)
- Make a video with you performing the piece full out to music (don't mark it, do it)
- If you're feeling extra generous, do it again but facing away from the camera so someone doesn't have to transpose
- Make a video with you walking through the movement with counts. Remember to say things like "the weight is on the right", "left arm on 7″, "move downstage starting count 5″, etc.
- I've you've broken down the song, send that as well
Here is a short list of routines where I've had to do this:
Everybody's Trucking – Choreographed by Sharon Davis
Evenin' – choreographed by Nathan Bugh
Blues – Choreographed by Sarah Breck
Shake that Thing – Choreographed by Hot Club Stomp
Honolulu – Originally performed by Eleanor Powell

The top story in health care for 2013 in Southeast Michigan continued to be how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has altered the competitive landscape for hospitals, health insurers, physicians, clinics and other health care companies.
Changes brought about by Obamacare led to the takeover of Detroit Medical Center by for-profit Tenet Health Care Corp. in June. In 2012, the health care reform bill — primarily because thousands of formerly uninsured patients will become paying patients — prompted the initial acquisition of DMC by for-profit Vanguard Health Systems.
The perception that health systems needed to grow in size to be effective under Obamacare also forced two of Southeast Michigan's largest health care systems — Beaumont Health System and Henry Ford Health System — to the merger negotiation table.
But the two powerhouses soon found the combination unworkable because they have different management philosophies, and physician opposition proved too strong. Merger talks ended in May.
By October, however, hospital consolidation was back in the spotlight as McLaren Health Care Corp., an aggressive nonprofit health system based in Flint, took steps to acquire Karmanos Cancer Institute.
However, DMC, which holds an exclusive affiliation agreement with Karmanos in Wayne and Oakland counties, is disputing aspects of the McLaren-Karmanos agreement.
After nearly a year of debate, the majority of Michigan Republican legislators in September listened to key business leaders and signed on to the plan promoted by Gov. Rick Snyder, Democrats and the health care industry to expand Medicaid to 133 percent of the federal poverty level.
Starting next March, individuals with $15,500 or less annual income or a family of three with $26,500 or less will be able to seek coverage under Obamacare. Some 475,000 uninsured people are expected to become eligible.
But Republican opposition to Obamacare did not extend to approving a bill, also supported by Snyder, to create a state-based health insurance marketplace to sell private policies subsidized by the federal government.
Thirty-six other states also declined to set up their own state-based exchanges, essentially turning over those duties to the federal government.
And it was clear starting Oct. 1 and for the next four to six weeks that healthcare.gov was not up to the task of enrolling the majority of an estimated 16 million people with private policies and another 16 million in Medicaid.
News reports documented thousands of people who were upset that their current policies would be terminated Dec. 31 and told to choose new policies, many times at higher premiums.
Many people eligible for federal subsidies also were stymied in their efforts to purchase a private policy or enroll in Medicaid because of technical glitches with the website.
Finally, in early December, federal data showed that nearly 30,000 people were able to sign up for private insurance in a two-day period, exceeding the total of October. So far, nearly 300,000 people have signed up for a private policy or enrolled in Medicaid.
Other top stories in 2013 included:
- Gov. Rick Snyder in February signed legislation making Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan a mutual insurance company. The nonprofit company had been the state's designated insurer of last resort, a title no longer needed under health care reform. All health insurers are required to accept customers regardless of pre-existing medical conditions.
- McLaren in June sued the state Department of Community Health over the denial of a certificate-of-need application to transfer 200 inpatient beds from its hospital in Pontiac to a hospital it wants to build in Clarkston.

A 6.0 on a bad day is still far better than a 5.0 player. A 6.0 has better fitness, experience, and weaponry than a 5.0.
yeah ok, but im better than a 5.0 so there.
Alex, I told CoachV, when I first joined Tennisopolis, that his profile was "all over the place" but he thinks it is just fine.
To ALEX & DEREK. derek is OCD......and I think my profile is Fun. if you think i should make it more professional i can. but what will be the point?
Examples please.
HEy Derek how your excuse coming along is your left arm still hurting?
My wrist is getting better but if I try to hit a 2 handed backhand it will start hurting within an hour. My wrist band (The Wristwidget) should be arriving on June 14. Hopefully it will be as therapeutic as Band-It is for my tennis elbow. If anybody reading this suffers from backhand or forehand (golfers elbow) tennis elbow then get Band-It ($15 at Amazon). It will instantly cure your tennis elbow once you find the correct position and pressure. In the last 6 months at Pelham Bay Park (site of the Old/New Tech vs. Young/Antique Wood Racket massacre) about 10 players suffering from various stages of tennis elbow have all received total relief from tennis elbow. I can't say any of them, including myself, were cured because we must keep wearing the Band-It or the pain will return.
CoachV was never quite a 6.0. In my prime (25-28) I was a solid 6.0 and I would eat him alive in his prime. CoachV never saw me play in my prime. When I first met him (or should I say destroyed him) in 1995, I was 40 and he was 18. It wasn't until he was 23 and I was 45 that he started to beat me, but it was very close. Also he was never a playing pro. Yes, he once won about $300 for a semi-final finish in a Crotona Park tournament run by Zack Davis; but I define a playing pro as someone who can make a living (at least $20,000 per year) playing tournaments and endorsements. CoachV was a 5.5 with 7.0 technique on his groundstrokes but obviously something was missing. "Something was missing alright". I, on the other hand, had 7.0 technique on my serve but had horribly stiff and slow racket head speed on my groundstrokes that prevented me from hitting consistently hard. CoachV was the first to point this out to me (in 2000) and for that I am forever grateful.
I should point out that I knew I had slow racket head speed because I obviously did not hit nearly as hard or make that thud! sound that all pros make. CoachV showed me why I did not hit hard. I simply did not take the racket back far enough.
I like this guy. Derek, you don't mince your words do you? You tell it like it is... putting old V in his place. :-)
V, I think you have a good trash talking rival here!
Derek, if you were a certified USTA NTRP rater, what would you consider V to be these days?
he would consider me death Incarnated. Coming to claim HIM!
Derek, if you were a certified USTA NTRP rater, what would you consider V to be these days?
Derek is Certified CRAZY. But he has his papers to prove he is cured.
HA $350 your WRONG DEREK!

Following child deaths fentanyl pain patches to be relabeled
Companies that make fentanyl pain patches are being required to change the writing on the products so they can be seen more easily, after two more children who were accidentally exposed to the patches died.
Fentanyl is a narcotic sold in a variety of formats including a patch that is stuck to the skin. It is sold under the brand Duragesic by Johnson & Johnson. Generic versions are also available.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned last April that fentanyl patches could cause life-threatening harm to children who were accidentally exposed to patches that may have fallen to the floor or been improperly discarded.
On Monday, the agency said it will require color changes to the writing on fentanyl patches so they can be seen more easily. Companies must print the name and strength of the drug on the patch in long-lasting ink, in a color that is clearly visible to patients and caregivers.
"The current ink color varies by strength and is not always easy to see," the FDA said in a statement. "This change is intended to enable patients and caregivers to more easily find patches on patients' bodies and see patches that have fallen off, which children or pets could accidentally touch or ingest."

Salem police say informant reneged on deal so they arrest him
SALEM - Police arrested a man on drug charges after he, agreeing to be an informant, reneged on his promise and investigators learned he was hightailing it out of the area.
Originally, investigators on Jan. 28 agreed not to arrest Rafael Beaumed, 34, formerly of 7 Webster St., on drug charges at that time because he agreed to provide information to undercover detectives in other drug probes.
Deputy Chief Shawn J. Patten said Beaumed never came across with any information and, as it turned out, police were tipped he planned to move south, was packing up and had moving trucks at his residence.
As a result, undercover detectives obtained warrants for his arrest for possessing and transporting cocaine related to the Jan. 28 incident and arrested him Wednesday afternoon without incident in the parking lot at the Fisk School. He is being held on $5,000 cash bail. Patten also identified Beaumed as the only suspect in an arson last February that destroyed his 7 Webster St. home located near Canobie Lake Park.
Police said Beaumed has not been charged due to lack of evidence, but the investigation is ongoing.
News reports at the time said the Red Cross was helping the family of five, which included three children, who lost everything in the blaze. No one was home at the time, although two dogs made it out, and a cat perished.

Gaddafi has survived five weeks of punishing airstrikes, and his military has not yet betrayed him, as officials in Paris and London were hoping. In a notable display of candor, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe suggested this week that alliance leaders — including his boss, Sarkozy — may have underestimated Gaddafi's staying power in deciding to go to war.
"When the decision to take action was taken, there was a feeling that, in the wake of what happened in Tunisia and Egypt, this would be relatively quick [bold mine-DL]," Danin recalled. "Instead, it is turning out to be a protracted civil war on the ground." ~The Washington Post
What could the thinking have possibly been here? What happened in Tunisia and Egypt was that in both cases the military refused to attack protesters, and Ben Ali and Mubarak realized that they were not going to be able to hold onto power through the use of force. The states with relatively stronger institutions saw the heads of state depart fairly quickly, which should have been a warning that things would be very different in Libya, where there are no strong institutions. Gaddafi kept the Libyan military institutionally much weaker than in the other countries to prevent coups against him, and some of his armed forces were already showing themselves willing to use force against the opposition. These were all things that these governments could have reasonably been expected to know before they ordered military action. Clearly, they did not know them, or they did not give them enough attention.
It's impressive that none of the allied governments was able to recall how long the Kosovo campaign lasted. What was supposed to be a few days of bombing turned into two and a half months, and ultimately it was diplomatic pressure to force Milosevic to give up that mattered as much as the bombing. Compared to Kosovo, the U.S., Britain, and France have effectively committed themselves to achieving a much more ambitious goal (Gaddafi's removal from power) with less of a political consensus in support of that goal, more limited resources, and more restrictions on what they can do. As in 1999, they assumed that the targeted regime would capitulate almost immediately, and somehow never considered that the regime they were attacking might actually be able to consolidate its strength because it was being attacked. Over the short term, Milosevic was able to draw on the shared, genuine outrage of Serbs on account of the bombing*. It was only later on, long after the bombs had stopped falling, that his political opponents were able to organize effectively against him.
Like almost every other stupid interventionist project of the last twenty years, the Libyan war was founded on the assumption that attacking another country would drive the population to turn against the government instead of realizing that the completely normal, human reaction of the majority of every nation on the planet is to resent foreign attacks and usually to defer to the government in an emergency. This is what we would do, and it is as predictable as the sun coming up in the morning, but for some reason we have to go through the same exercise of overconfident miscalculation, puzzlement, and then the dawning realization that bad and unjust governments don't automatically collapse simply because we wish they would. Perhaps next time, if there must be a next time, our government should come up with a plan that doesn't rely so heavily on the willingness of regime loyalists to commit the equivalent of treason.
* Humanitarian interventionists have had the uncanny ability to select countries to attack for their wars of choice that have deep, painful memories of being attacked by Nazi Germany and occupied and oppressed by Fascist Italy respectively. Of all the peoples in the world that might turn on their respective governments as a result of foreign attack, humanitarian interventionists have chosen two of the least likely, and then they profess surprise when the nations in question didn't respond as they were expected to respond. It's as if the interventionists think that it matters to the people being bombed that they aren't being bombed in the name of conquest and empire-building. These nations don't really know that when it's happening, it certainly doesn't feel like it at the time, and they aren't likely to believe Western claims to the contrary.

Games aren't the only region-locking aspect of the Wii U - it looks like the GamePad itself is region-locked as well.
Seems odd that they would region lock the controller (given it cannot function without the already region locked console) but I suppose it really doesn't matter since the controller is just a controller.
Just another in a long line of weird decisions by the Big N it seems.
It's because a person from EU could order one from the states for cheaper..That would take away profit that Nintendo could have made in that market..
Yup you explained it in a nutshell kinda suxs because what if in the future I see an awesome unique colored wii u gamepad from another region?? I swear im a sucker for different colored consoles and accessories especially collector ones like the japanese oftenly get
So why didn't sony reigon lock the vita? Stop making excuses for them. Nintendo is a really anti-consumer company and people really shouldn't be defending this
yeah yeah watever mika and her/his/its second account you know your opinion is not welcome
Oh look it's Hatsune repeating the same crap over and over:
Wii U is rubbish > Ps3 is better > Can't wait for PS4.
I'm sure if Miku and Mika fused together, it wouldn't be their final form.
... many people now travel the world and pick something up for themselfs or their kids or whatever. Be it games, controllers, consoles, whatever.
Right now, I'm in Hong Kong for a year. After a year I'll be back in Holland. This kinda news just means we certainly won't be picking up a WiiU here, cause it will be useless once we go back.
I usually pick up controllers here in Hong Kong for the 360 and PS3, cause they're very exensive in Holland. If that wouldn't be an option, we'd probably opt for 3rd party controllers instead of 1st party controllers.
This whole region-locking thing is just beyond stupid.
Good thing PS3 is not region locked...or elze we wont be enjoying Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation and Unicorn.
Big and stupid decisions of little stupid n HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA the stupidity of Nintendo not have end first voice chat after that trophies and now this they are very very stupid
Coming next to a Wii U near you: Region locked analog sticks?
Visiting family in the UK flying from the US and want to take you Wii U for a fun night with a few beers?
As of FW2.55, when the Wii U gamepad crosses the atlantic border between US and UK, the sticks will lock out and then release on your return home.
Happy Xmas from Nintendo!
Well, that sucks. Nintendo should be a little more permissive in this matters. They tend to be too much cautious.
Whats next ? Region locked cables ? lol 0_o
Well, that is entirely possible, seeing as how cables are becoming more "smart" and may have chips in them at either end.
well metal gear solid rising demo is region locked so this doesn't surprise me
power cables are different in other countries
"In the video game industry, Nintendo was the originator of regional lockout. "
No one does it better than the originator!
Region locking was the reason I learned to do modding on systems. Didn't want to pay someone an obscene amount of money just to throw in a switch into my Saturn to play imports. I went on to mod over 200 PS2's about 100 PS1's, and some Saturn's, along with repairing systems from time to time. I later got heavy into pirating games, but came to realize it was wrong and had a change of heart. Take that for what it's worth.
Wow so thats where this trend come from thanks for the info I was always curious damn this region lock stuff and having the gaming populace seperate in regions along with no network integration between all consoles and pc seems so old we have the tech and the next natural huge step in gaming is destroying these border buuut by the way the big 3 replied to this issue which is the same response from sony, MS, and nintendo is simply "no wont happen" a business influenced answer only in a perfect utopia will i be able to play with all my gaming bretheren
thats just silly, shame on you Nintendo
It makes sense, prices may vary greatly from region to region.
No, Nintendo are just shameless money grabbers, similar to how they release two versions of the same damn game at the same time with small changes every generation (Pokemon)
People also probably don't realize that there's region locking to protect shortages in supply.
I have no idea why this comment have 14 disagrees, like are people stupid?
what shortages lol ? the thing is readily available
that's one thing i love about ps3 that its region free. is wii-u system region free? i believe all systems should be region free so some games that don't end up releasing in the west we can buy and play.
hopefully next xbox and ps will be region free
The Wii U is region locked. Not sure about the Xbox. The PS3 leaves it up to the publishers to decide, only one I know for sure about is Persona 4 Arena being locked, but it's a software thing.
Agree with you about region free, even though I know why they do it, it is annoying.
yeah but its bad for some of us who are actually looking to buy games from over seas which won't be released here in the west. I hope ms and sony go for region free systems. most of the games on ps3 have been region free
for someone like me i know its a big buying point
Only PS3 is region-free, yet a lot of people hate on it? Why not hate on Nintendo and Microsoft for having region-lock?
About P4A, it's the ONLY region-locked game so far in the entire 6 years the PS3 has been out.
I understand. I was really big on Japanese games up until the middle of the PS1 era. At that time some really cool anime games never made it over seas. But then the anime boom happened and more games in those genre's started getting localized, so I didn't really have a need to get my fix in that way. Now it's more that I'd only import JRPG's that don't make it stateside, but since I play those for the story, it didn't really make sense to import them anymore.
Another reason not to purchase a WiiU. Wii U GamePads region-locked ... what a joke.
Having to buy a controller from your own region is a reason not to buy the console? That... doesn't make a lick of sense to me. Especially when the console in question only supports one gamepad right now.
region lock in any kind of form is a valid reason to not buya product no matter how you spin it ...
Region lock , in this day and age shouldn't exist ..
I'm not spinning anything. I just think it is pretty extreme. I don't usually import anything from overseas, so it really is not an issue for me. I understand it is indeed a very needless limitation, but I hardly see it as a reason not to buy a gaming product that has games I like.
Yes because not having a gamepad with Japanese on the black completely ruins the fun of the system that games provide. Get a life fanboy, not liking a system for a valid reason is one thing but to hate it because of something a very small minority do is such a dumb reason to not like something.
There are certainly some cool things that Japanese gamers get in the way of colors or limited editions that are nice to have if your a collector, but a reason not to buy the system? That's just grasping at straws.
I didn't say i I'm not purchasing the WiiU because Wii U GamePads are region-locked... i said that's another reason to not purchase the WiiU.
No offense here, but I think you're just splitting hairs at this point.
Maybe you can explain why you would buy a gamepad from another region, and how not being to do so would influence your purchase.
"Maybe you can explain why you would buy a gamepad from another region"
I live in Europe (Euros) and everything is more expensive then other regions. I could purchase a gamepad from the US (dollars) probably at half price i purchase where i live... basically, monetary reasons.
"No offense here, but I think you're just splitting hairs at this point. "
You clearly don't understand what I'm saying. A few reasons why i probably won't purchase the WiiU: games region locked, gamepad region locked, have little interest in Nintendo exclusives (out of all the exclusives presented for WiiU, i would only play one or two), gamepad very awkward to play with, console is as powerful as a 6-7 year console (this should of been the Wii 6 years ago), USB 2.0 (seriously ??? why not USB 3.0 ?)... and have little interest in a tablet from the gamepad (don't have a tablet and honestly not really interested in one).
Are these reasons enough for you ... or am i just splitting hairs at this point?
seriously stop pretending to be dense . It's obvious it's not the reason but adds up to the rest of the negative points for HIM .
Tests have shown that there is a minute difference between USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. Not nearly enough of a difference to warrant using 3.0. And believe me I was rather angry when I heard this.
Next time he should form his argument better.
Well actually, I think your reasons are rather unfounded, but that's just me. It's your life, you live it. Good day to you.
Then this leads to a "valid" excuse for hacks. seriously i had to soft mod my wii to play my imported copy of fatal frame 4
You would have needed to do the same on the 360 or any other console, Sony or otherwise, before the PS3.
No one makes a big deal about other companies doing it and they didn't make one before. Its just another irrelevant excuse to bash Nintendo for most of the people on this site and that is all they really want.
Its the entire point of articles like this.
More than likely, The Durango will be region locked. Lets see if people bash it the same way.
ps2: swap magic says hi
360: japan says bye
but seriously there is no need to import for 360 if ps3 has the same game collection if not more
Actually most PS3 games are region free and will work on any PS3 :D Probably the only console this gen to have this nice feature.
Did either of you read what I wrote?
Cero, Swap Magic was in no way endorsed by Sony and it was primarily made and used for playing burned games. How does that in anyway invalidate anything I said?
r21, can you read? "before the PS3". I'm well aware that the PS3 allows you play games from other regions most of the time(there are still region locked games). I never questioned it.
Fact still remains that 99% of gamers don't by games from foreign countries and I doubt most of the people trash talking Nintendo on here do either.
Their only interest in this news is the negativity it directs at the company.
Funny thing is, Nintendo was the first of the big 3 to release a system that "wasn't region locked(the DS). People are in here complaining and don't even have legitimate reason for it. They just want to bash Nintendo.
Actually Nintendo started with non locked consoles on gameboy . Wich is why the 3ds lock is idiotic .
"Fact still remains that 99% of gamers don't by games from foreign countries and I doubt most of the people trash talking Nintendo on here do either. "
Dear lord , what's it to you which % of people feel excluded by that stance ?
It is a matter of grief for customers that's all that matter .
And actually if you check around , you'll see that the amount of people importing games has gone up quite a whole lot in the past 15 years .
A wide array of import only shops , online or not , didnt just magically appear for a non existing market ...
you all bitch about it but if you owned a company who were loosing millions because people were importing a product at a cheaper price than the same product that is readily available in your own territory, im sure you would take action too.
You mean like giving an option to region lock games if a publisher is sure there game will be released in all regions won't have to worry about it while still allowing companies that know their games won't be localized in any other region to go region free both increasing how much these companies get from their games while keeping gamers happy?
Kinda like what Sony is doing...
Or maybe giving an option to allow these publishers to go region free instead of forcing the decision on to them?
Kinda like what Microsoft does.
Sorry but you need to just admit it, in this day and age, there is no excuse for fully region locking a system.
you don't get it do you?
we live in a open jail already and we want things to be open and ours ..
Nintendo is not a human it's a corporation, sadly corp. have rights like we do lol
nobody owns Nintendo, the Iluminaty own it all and is been made to brainwash us, make keep us entertainment and busy and make us waste our money in silly things and not do in good quality food and not think about important things ..
the sad part is we all fall for any kind of useless entertainment and is more sad when someone defend a corporation over a human.
im certainly not defending nintendo. of course in a utopian society we would all have everything for free, there would be no copywrite laws and nintendo would simply being making games purely for the love of it.
but, this is the real world. its business. simply stating a FACT, that these measures are to keep a product profitable in its territory, is not defending the company, its merely plain fact.
i have an idea, why dont nintendo just close all their international HQ's and simply oporate from japan. if anyone wants the product, simply import it! who cares if the product is too expensive, or not presented in your native language, or maybe even legal in your territory.
wake up, its the real world, there are measures of control that companies must take to control their product. dont like that fact? tough, but it is still fact.
you going from one xtream to another ..
corporations could stop making region lock and let consumers decide.. in the end they are buying their product no meter what they are making money from them how was meant to be..
but yeah we live in a world where we pay for cable just to get propaganda "commercials" (it should be commercial free)and we are stupid enough to let that happen but is not because we are is because we are made been stupid enough and we do let them make us stupid enough.. sadly
that is why there is so much hate for this tree or any corporations, its because they are evil and are here with a bad intention..
figures... Not a huge deal but still stupid..
Hopefully Nintendo has some big guns left to show soon otherwise they're gunna be overshadowed soon by the coming ps4 and 720 reveals this year if rumors are true. It's gunna take more than monster hunter and bayonetta 2 to drive sells in the face of the next gen graphics were gunna be seeing soon.
Except graphics don't automatically make a game good. Look at Uncharted 2, a run of the mill third person shooter/platformer that didn't break any sales records despite its "amazing" graphics. Graphics whores like yourself make up a very small percentage of all gamers worldwide, sad to say.
Who said I was a graphics whore? I'm simply stating the obvious that ps4 and 720 will be more impressive from a graphical standpoint than what the wiiU offers. I bought my wiiU on launch day and love the hell out of it, but most 3rd parties will likely prefer the more powerful hardware that Sony and Microsoft will provide.
Same thing we had this gen we're about to be done with soon.
Uncharted 2? sure you aren't thinking of another game?
on the contrary. if the development cost of making games increases, Wii U may just be the fall-back console for smaller dev companies. this is also the reason why there are more mobile game developers, since dev costs for mobile games is smaller, and they'd have a broader access to more users; with Nintendo eShop's significant improvement over the old eShop, the same reason why Wii U is increasingly getting attention from the indie game devs.
Epic games did predict a significant increase in development cost, and John Carmack mentioned that devs will still target 30fps. and if Wii U follows the trend of sales of the Wii, even if it does not surpass Wii U sales, the installed base of the console will merit enough attention from devs to consider multiplat games that include Wii U.
yes, ps4 and 720 may have better graphics and all, but it may not be that "high" of an increase. this would mean Wii U will have a fair share of 3rd party games. not to mention 2 new consoles that may only be as powerful as the Wii U, so again, more reason for devs to go multiplat.
Whenever I hear the word "region lock" I just get really mad for some reason. Here's hoping Sony continues to ignore Nintendo and MS and keeps everything region free.
one reason is money of course and they also sell them on there own in japan but do want the rest of the world to have 2 gamepads per system yet
So why does this matter?
Number of games that require a second pad: 0
Even if a game did require a second pad, why would you pay all the extra money to ship one from a different country, when it's cheaper and more convenient to get it from your own country - especially as a lot of stuff can go wrong with a controller with a screen built in?
Erm... is anyone going to actually TRY this to see what happens before jumping to conclusions?
The article even says;
"News floating around Japanese blogs indicates that a GamePad purchased overseas won't work on a Japanese Wii U. This is almost certainly the case for other territories as well."
"Almost certainly" is far from "confirmed fact".
because nintendo previous annoying efforts to lock everything are going into that direction ?
Would you be surprised if this news is true ? i certainly won't given nintendo's stupid when it comes to hardware specs
If it were true (and I highly doubt it is), it MIGHT have something to do with wireless frequencies. I'm no expert on the subject, but from what I can tell they're pretty highly regulated throughout the world.
And Wii U doesn't just use Bluetooth to connect to the console.
So it might have something to do with it. But seriously, if it was true (which, again, I doubt), why would it matter? You get a GamePad with your console. Why in the glory hell do you want to import a 2nd hand GamePad from Japan?
And before you start harping on about multiplayer, please kindly name one game that uses two or more GamePads.
you're missing my point.
That isn't what i'm talking in my first reply at all .
But regarding your "new" points
There are plenty of ways to get around this problemby using a modulable set of frequencies for example..but i highly doubt they would use different components ( inside the wii u gamepad) for different territories. Why ? Because it would cause unexpected problems when a game is made with some hardware in mind..a basic rule is to not do that( for compatibility ).
It does matter because a consummer want to get his hardware where it cost less for him .
You don't even need 2 gamepads to have this problem..what if your first one have a problem, get stolen or is broken ? in that case won't you go to the net and buy another ?If true , you can't even buy hardware for your console at the price you want nor at the places you want .
It sucks.
And what about people who travel ? i would looooooove to be forced to sell all my hardware and my games everytime i move between territories.

MILWAUKEE—A new report shows tribal gaming revenue in Wisconsin has declined.
Gaming by the state's 11 tribes generated about $1.2 billion in 2011, down nearly 5 percent from 2007. The Casino City's Indian Gaming Industry report says Wisconsin is one of seven states where tribal gaming revenue has declined. Twenty-eight states have tribal casinos.
Nationally, tribal gaming revenue is up. Tribal casinos took in about $27 billion in 2011, up $3.4 percent from the previous year.
The Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/XC9ota ) says despite the decline in revenue, tribal gaming profit in Wisconsin has increased by about $23 million since 2009 to nearly $577 million in 2011. The state Legislative Audit Bureau says tribal payments to the state are up 2.5 percent since mid-2010.

Javier Aguirre has characterized the 2002 World Cup Round of 16 loss to the U.S. as the low point of his managerial career.
The U.S. beat Mexico, 2-0, in a match disputed in South Korea in 2002. That also marked the last time either the U.S. or Mexico has made it as far as the quarterfinals of the World Cup.
The current Espanyol and two-time El Tri manager told ESPN that the match against Mexico's bitter northern rival made him rethink whether he was cut out to be a coach.
"It made me think twice whether this was for me," Aguirre said. "It hurt me deeply and stayed with me."
Aguirre said he was most impacted because he felt Mexico deserved to win the game, and the U.S. played an ultra-defensive style not befitting that level of competition.
"For me, it was an unfair result," Aguirre said. "Bruce Arena came up to me after the match and apologized, saying that his plan had been to wait back and exploit my mistakes."
Aguirre led Mexico to the 2010 World Cup, then moved back to Spain, where he has held four different La Liga jobs in recent years. His current Espanyol team has won four of seven since Aguirre took the reigns, moving the Barcelona side clear of the relegation zone.

Kansas survives Western Kentucky upset bid
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jeff Withey scored 17 points and top-seeded Kansas struggled to put away scrappy Western Kentucky in a 64-57 victory Friday night that avoided what would have been the biggest upset on a day full of them in the NCAA tournament.
The Jayhawks (30-5), flummoxed by the Hilltoppers' full-court pressure, trailed 31-30 at halftime. Kansas eventually built an 11-point lead in the second half, but couldn't put Western Kentucky away until Ben McLemore's two foul shots with 11 seconds left in the game.
McLemore and Travis Releford scored 11 each for the Jayhawks (30-5), who wearily advanced to play No. 8 seed North Carolina and former coach Roy Williams in the South Regional on Sunday.
Jamal Crook scored 13 points and T.J. Price had 12 for the Hilltoppers (20-16), who would have made history by becoming the first No. 16 seed to upend a No. 1 seed in the tournament.
"We knew what we had to do," Crook said, "regardless of what seed we were."
Earlier in the day, No. 15 seed Florida Gulf Coast stunned second-seeded Georgetown, perhaps emboldening the Sun Belt champions. And on the same floor at the Sprint Center, 13th-seeded La Salle knocked off Kansas State and No. 12 seed Ole Miss beat fifth-seeded Wisconsin.
Alas, the undersized team in red couldn't hang tough with the bigger blue bloods down the stretch, allowing Kansas to reach 30 wins for the fourth straight season — the first time that's happened in Division I men's basketball, after Memphis was forced to vacate the 2008 season.
The Jayhawks also improved to 7-0 at the Sprint Center this season.
Since the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, 16 seeds are winless against No. 1 seeds in 116 games, including Southern's heartbreaking 64-58 loss to Gonzaga on Thursday.
"I think the entire country got a glimpse of what they're made of, a lot of character, a lot of heart," Western Kentucky coach Ray Harper said. "A lot of people doubted us this season. We went through a lot of adversity, and adversity will tell you a lot about people."
Western Kentucky spent the first half pinning Kansas against the ropes.
Price hit an opener 3-pointer in the opening minute, George Fant was able to use his superior quickness against the bigger Withey in the paint, and the Hilltoppers — who needed four wins to capture the Sun Belt tournament title and the league's automatic bid — slowly built a 20-16 lead.
The heavily pro-Kansas crowd fell quiet, even as Jayhawks coach Bill Self turned up the volume on the sideline, laying into his team for its lethargic start.
Kansas finally pulled ahead for the first time since midway through the first half when Elijah Johnson finished off a three-point play that made it 28-27 with 90 seconds left, but a pair of baskets by Price down the stretch gave the scrappy Hilltoppers a 31-30 lead at the break.
The Jayhawks seized the lead again early in the second half when Kevin Young followed up his own miss by grabbing the rebound and throwing down a reverse jam, and then Releford scored off a nifty feed from McLemore, forcing Harper to burn a timeout.
Fant and Aleksejs Rostov both picked up their fourth fouls midway through the half, taking seats next to Harper on the Western Kentucky bench. But the longtime Division II and NAIA coach couldn't keep his hottest hands there for long, and decided to gamble by putting them back in.
Harper rolled snake eyes when Fant fouled out with 5:37 remaining.
Withey made one of two free throws, McLemore drove untouched down the lane for an easy basket, and Withey scored on a nifty move in the post to push the Jayhawks to a 52-42 lead — their biggest of the game — and force Harper to call another timeout with 3:44 left on the clock.
Western Kentucky started whittling into the lead in the closing minutes, and a 3-pointer by Crook made it 59-55 with 25.4 seconds left on the clock.
But the Jayhawks got the ball in the hands of Naadir Tharpe, and he made two free throws to provide them a cushion. Price misfired from beyond the arc, and Brandon Harris was long on another 3-pointer from the corner, as McLemore added two more foul shots to seal the Jayhawks' victory.
"Sometimes it bounces your way, sometimes it doesn't," Harper said, "but as long as you compete the right way, that's all a coach can ever ask, and that's what these guys did."

The dungeons on Avlis are designed to challenge a party of adventurers. This challenge is based on the "median" expected power of a party. This includes level, ability and gear.
If you play a gear-oriented class, GEAR IS IMPORTANT. Period. While you can enjoy Avlis without ever fighting (although, it is virtually impossible to avoid confrontation), some of the most interesting areas on Avlis are filled with hostile NPCs.
Having a goal of getting better gear and equipment is certainly valid. That is what Trade Fairs are for. Many people have said Guilds are an excellent way of obtaining better gear.
On the other hand, whining that so-and-so has been around since Avlis had one server and thus has a trunkful of CoPaP banned crap that will never see the light of day is not productive either. You dont need a glowstick or a Golden Circlet to survive most dungeons in Avlis if you are in a party.
Bottom line: nothing is wrong with wanting better gear and working for it. Whining for it and trying to take it from someone else is crap.
[/derail thread]
I was responding more to Trole's post about how things would quickly become disparate (non-equal) because some people know the servers and have the time, and some do not. I'm definitely not talking about gear or people's desire to get some lewt... I'm talking about a discussion about how some PCs are unequal to others because their players are either more skilled, more knowledgeable, or unemployed (heh), and thus even a vault wipe wouldn't create "equality".
Trying to set a baseline "equality" between PCs is impossible without some conception of what a PC "should" be like, and trying to come up with the framework for judging PC equality is a contentious and community-damaging path. It's better to a) face the fact that some PCs are always going to be more powerful than yours, in some ways, and b) not let that bother you, because it's not a competition.

NEW YORK (AP) — Michael C. Hall has turned a page, broken with the past, made a break.
No more sawed-off limbs, gruesome murder, headless bodies or infants sitting in puddles of blood. His serial killer Dexter is no more, giving way to a Broadway play about two suburban couples.
"There's really no room for so much of what Dexter called on me to do in this. Including killing people, thankfully," says Hall in his freshly painted Broadway dressing room.
So the body count is low? "Just a squirrel," says Hall.
Hall is one of an impressive quartet of actors starring in Will Eno's play "The Realistic Joneses." The former Showtime sociopath joins Toni Collette, Marisa Tomei and Tracy Letts.
A dark comedy, the play is about two couples who have more in common than their identical homes and their shared last names. It's an off-kilter work about the thirst for human connection and understanding.
It was the perfect antidote to Hall's post-"Dexter" blues. Few may know that before he picked up the scalpel, Hall was a thespian and a song-and-dance man and now he wanted to return to theater. He even did an early workshop for the Broadway-bound "Big Fish" but his schedule didn't work out with "Dexter."
"I experienced an increasingly intense itch to come back to the stage and when I talked to my representatives about it, I said, 'My ideal thing would be to do a new American play by a living playwright on Broadway,' which is somewhat of a rare thing."
He got it all in Eno's play, which first premiered at the Yale Repertory Theatre in 2012. Hall was invited to a reading before it came to New York and wolfed down the script in one sitting before getting on a flight to New York.
"I think Will's work is just phenomenal," says Hall. "There's something mysterious about the cumulative power of his words. He's the real deal."
Eno exchanges the compliment: "It was uncanny and almost eerie how instantly he just plugged himself into the role and the play. He is absolutely terrific and he is really funny in an easy way."
The play marks the first time Hall has returned to Broadway since he took over from Alan Cumming as the white-faced emcee in the last revival of "Cabaret," a part he played for almost 500 times and credits as "a real gift."
"When I was told that I got that part, everything that has happened beyond then has been beyond anything I ever really imagined. That was really the moment of, 'Wow. Maybe I'm really going to get away with this,'" he recalls.
He fully intended on a stage career after graduating from New York University and threw himself into Shakespearian roles and even the musical "Chicago." ''It's where I came from. It's what initially drew me to acting," he says.
His first Broadway show he was an understudy in David Hare's "Skylight" in 1996. He never made it onstage but he was paid. "It was the most money I'd ever made. I'd call in at 7:30, they didn't need me and I'd watch 'The Simpsons.' It was great."
His break-out roles — David Fisher, funeral director that Hall played in the early 2000s on HBO's "Six Feet Under" — and then "Dexter" took him away. Both earned Hall Emmy Award nominations.
"The roles that I've done of those two shows are parts that I really didn't know existed when I was training to be an actor. The idea that you could do this long-form, open-ended, ever-evolving, rich complex character on a television show was not really an option until it became one," he says. "I feel fortunate to have out there in the ocean when that wave came."
Hall will return to those waters soon when Showtime airs its new series on climate change next month, "Years of Living Dangerously." Hall was one of several celebrities — including Jessica Alba, Harrison Ford, Olivia Munn and Matt Damon — sent over the globe to report. Hall spent two weeks in Bangladesh.
"It's not an idea for them. It's not a lifestyle for them. It's not about changing their light bulbs," he says. "It's a life and death issue for them. I was so, among other things, just amazed by the spirit and resiliency of those people."

SOURCE: Salon Bongini
January 25, 2013 18:59 ET
FT. LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - January 25, 2013) - The picturesque Salon Bongini is destined to appeal to upscale clientele who share a common goal of perfection in beauty. Created by renowned stylist Joel Bongini, the salon is a bridge to the future of hair color and design in South Florida. "I saw a yearning in South Florida for a progressive approach to hair that was honest and sophisticated, while retaining ease and class. My vision for the salon followed," says Joel Bongini.
Salon Bongini is located in the heart of Ft. Lauderdale. Just minutes from the crystal waters of Fort Lauderdale's beaches and in close proximity to the best shopping, dining and art galleries in the city. It's no mistake that Salon Bongini sits as a corner pillar of the beautiful Satori Development on East Sunrise Boulevard. Satori is a Japanese Buddhist term for enlightenment, meaning, "the seeing of one's true nature." Joel has taken this inspiration, and infused it with his modern mid-century design aesthetic to create a beauty and hair-care oasis.
The stark white walls combined with lofty 25-foot ceilings impart breathtaking invigoration for patrons. The salon is further refined by an array of paintings and mixed media work, on display from Las Olas Fine Arts. The open design concept is punctuated with sleek modern furnishings and styling stations. Color and chemical applications are performed at an elaborate Lucite dining table (see pictures), truly invoking a sense of community among clients receiving salon services.
Joel has carefully selected stylists with extensive backgrounds and proven track records in the industry. The Salon Bongini Team approaches hair care with the goal of bringing forth the innate natural beauty, unique to every individual. "I want to educate and inspire our clients by creating a fun, positive and artistic atmosphere where all will feel comfortable and beautiful," says Bongini.
Joel Bongini's Client List includes: Eva Longoria, Nicole Richie, Zoe Saldana, Naomi Campbell, Annie Leibowitz… Read more

Speeches & Statement
Ryan's Opening Statement: A Progress Report on the War on Poverty: Reforming Federal Aid
Opening Remarks, as Prepared for Delivery
Morning, everybody—and welcome. This is the fourth in our series of hearings on the War on Poverty. We've been talking about how to promote upward mobility in America in the 21st century. And today, we're going to pick up where we left off.
Last time, we heard from people fighting poverty on the front lines. Today, we're going to hear from people who have worked on the supply lines. We're going to look at how the states and federal government can better support the fight against poverty.
Because, if we've learned anything, it's that there's room for improvement. Each year, we spend nearly $800 billion on 92 different programs to fight poverty. And yet the official poverty rate hasn't budged in years. People can get help if they fall into poverty. But far too many people still can't earn enough to get out of poverty. And over the past three years, deep poverty has been the highest on record. Clearly, something's not working. We need to try something new.
And given our history, I'd say we're due for an adjustment. The last time we made a big change was welfare reform in 1996. That was almost 20 years ago. We all know what happened. Poverty among children of single mothers fell by double digits. We also learned—and our witnesses are unanimous on this point—that work is crucial to fighting poverty.
And there's another takeaway. Before Congress began drafting legislation, it allowed the states to try out new ideas. The National Evaluation of Welfare-to-Work Strategies program tested a number of different approaches: work-first programs, education programs, and different mixes between the two. I think that approach—with an emphasis on results, on concrete evidence—is just the mindset we need today.
But times have changed. Today, the biggest means-tested programs are Medicaid, SNAP, and the Earned Income Tax Credit. We spend more on Section 8 housing than we do on TANF. And we haven't made any serious reforms in almost two decades.
Poverty is a complex problem, and deep poverty is especially difficult. Many people in deep poverty face serious challenges, like addiction, homelessness, and disability. And all these challenges are interrelated. But our current system is too fragmented to give them the care they need. If we can provide better coordinated care, we can help more people get out of poverty.
Today, we will hear from two panels. On the first is our colleague, the assistant Democratic leader, Congressman James Clyburn. He will brief us on the 10-20-30 plan. And to make sure we have enough time to hear from all our witnesses, we will not take questions for Mr. Clyburn.
On the second panel, we will hear from three people who have extensive experience working with aid programs at the federal, state, and local level. First, we have Jason Turner, who worked with Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson to reform our state's welfare program. Then we have Robert Doar, who served as commissioner of New York City's Human Resources Administration under Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Finally, we have Olivia Golden, who led the D.C. Children and Family Services Agency from 2001 to 2004. Thank you all for being here today and sharing your expertise.
The question I want to answer today is how can we improve? How can we make these programs better? How can we get more bang for the buck? And how can we get more people involved? I've said we need to hear from people with different points of view—and from different walks of life. Today, we'll hear from people who have firsthand knowledge of the challenges we face. And with that, I'd like to recognize the ranking member for his opening remarks.

Portsmouth 'unscathed' after First Night celebrationBy Bill Smith
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 01. 2014 4:15AM
PORTSMOUTH -- The annual First Night celebration of the New Year brought few problems for Portsmouth police Tuesday, as the biggest problem noted by department officials was the demand for taxicabs after last call.
"We came through unscathed," said Sgt. Kuffer Kaltenborn. "The biggest issue was people who were trying to be responsible waiting in the cold for a cab."
While thousands flocked to the waterfront city for New Year's eve festivities, Kaltenborn said there were no arrests and only two minor traffic accidents, neither of which involved an inebriated motorist.
Kaltenborn said after the 1 a.m. closing time for bars and nightclubs, patrons were lined up outside many of the city's establishments waiting for a ride from one of the city's licensed taxis. Some patrons had to wait for a half-hour or more before a cab became available.
"You had to feel sorry for them, out in the cold, trying to do the responsible thing," Kaltenborn said.

Yankees power past Orioles
A tense AL East duel between the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles revealed the strengths and weaknesses of each team.
After the Yankees beat the Orioles 6-4 in 10 innings Monday night to extend Baltimore's losing streak to six games, it became apparent why New York leads the division and Baltimore is mired in its longest skid in nearly a year.
Both showed their hitting prowess. Both played solid defense. The difference was that the Orioles got another poor performance from the back end of their bullpen, and New York got a typically strong outing from closer Mariano Rivera.
New York trailed 4-3 in the ninth before Travis Hafner homered with one out on a 3-1 pitch from Jim Johnson, who has blown three straight save opportunities after converting a franchise-record 35 in a row. All three of those botched saves have come during Baltimore's current slide.
Pedro Strop then gave up two runs in the 10th to complete the collapse. After that, Rivera breezed through a 1-2-3 inning for his 17th save in 17 tries.
"Believe me, I don't take him for granted," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of Rivera. "It's hard to do it year after year after year. You're going to see guys go through some ups and downs, but Mo doesn't go through a lot."
Neither did Johnson until last week, when he blew ninth-inning leads against San Diego and Tampa Bay before collapsing against the Yankees.
"The ball's up. That seems to be the common thing lately," Johnson said. "Just not making the adjustment. I'm trying, you know, doing everything. I'm going to work through it."
Rivera, on the other hand, has been darn near perfect. And that is why the Yankees are 28-16 and Baltimore is five games back, as close to last place as first.
The Yankees also improved to 19-0 when scoring first this season.
"All bullpens are going to go through their struggles," Girardi said. "The bottom line is that we were able to get some runs off some pretty good pitchers tonight."
Robinson Cano hit his team-high 13th home run in the first inning for New York, David Adams clubbed his first major-league homer in the second and Lyle Overbay connected in the seventh.
In the 10th, Ichiro Suzuki led off with a double off Strop (0-2) and Vernon Wells followed with an RBI double to left. Hafner added a two-out single to make it 6-4.
David Robertson (3-0) worked the ninth as part of a relief crew that allowed two hits and no runs in 3 2-3 innings. Their effort followed an uneven performance by starter CC Sabathia.
Asked to assess the bullpen's performance, Sabathia said, "Unbelievable, but that's just been all year. We knew that was a strong point of our team, but they've really carried us. They've been great."
After Overbay put New York up 3-2 in the seventh with a homer off Troy Patton, Baltimore took the lead in the bottom half. Alexi Casilla singled and scored on a double by Nick Markakis, who came home on an opposite-field double to right by J.J. Hardy.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter elevated Hardy to the third spot in the lineup because the shortstop came in with a .321 career batting average against Sabathia. Hardy also doubled in the fifth against the big left-hander.
"We had the lead and it's up to me to go out and shut the door," Sabathia said. "It's very frustrating, especially in a close game like this. Luckily, these guys were able to bail me out."
Sabathia gave up four runs and 11 hits in 6 1-3 innings. He left with New York trailing 4-3, but Hafner's shot in the ninth preserved Sabathia's 17-4 lifetime record against Baltimore.
Orioles starter Freddy Garcia, who pitched the past two years for the Yankees, allowed two runs, three hits – two homers and a meaningless single – in six innings. Aided by two double plays, the right-hander faced only three batters over the minimum.
Cano and Adams provided the Yankees with a 2-0 lead before Chris Davis hit his 13th homer for Baltimore in the second.
After wasting a two-out double by Matt Wieters in the fourth, Baltimore pulled even in the fifth. Steve Pearce hit a leadoff double and scored on a single by Markakis. Later in the inning, Sabathia retired Adam Jones on a grounder with runners at second and third.
Replays indicated first base umpire Eric Cooper got two calls wrong in the sixth inning, both of which went against Baltimore. Brett Gardner appeared to be picked off first base and was called safe, and Wieters seemed to beat out an infield hit but was called out.
NOTES: Orioles RHP Miguel Gonzalez (blister on thumb) will return from the disabled list Tuesday night and start against the Yankees, who will have right-hander Phil Hughes on the mound. Hughes yielded seven earned runs in the first inning of his last start, against Seattle. … Yankees 1B Mark Teixeira batted in a simulated game in Florida, testing his injured wrist for the first time since spring training. Also, 3B Kevin Youkilis (spine) took batting practice and fielded ground balls; 3B Alex Rodriguez (hip surgery) fielded grounders; INF Eduardo Nunez (oblique) did dry swinging and also took grounders; and RHP Ivan Nova threw 60 pitches in extended spring training … Washington Capitals forward Brooks Laich threw out the ceremonial first pitch. … Suzuki extended his hitting streak at Camden Yards to 20 games.

Statement for latest body of work
This selection of pots & Animalware is from my spring firing & also includes pots I had been reluctant to part with from 2017. Since our house is overflowing with pots, they are now available. The pots are all single fired in a two chamber, noborigama style wood kiln. The glazes are primarily ash based, containing feldspar & silica from a nearby mine. Local red clay makes up 30% of my stoneware body. It is also used in my gray, yellow & brown ash glazes.
- Shawn Ireland, July 2018
Artist Statement
Most everything I do in my daily life relates to my passion for art. I surround myself with what I find beautiful and seek out images and objects that resonate. I love making things at the wheel or the easel and I love being lost in the moments of making or "in the search". Watching, feeling and experiencing the beautiful natural qualities of clay and oil paint are what make this searching such a pleasure.
Working from a foundation of folk tradition, I make pots with food, flowers and candles in mind. For me, this involves using a variety of hand processed local clays and glaze materials, single firing in a wood burning kiln, and using a kick wheel. These ingredients promote surprises and keep my craft connected to the natural world.
My pots continue to change over time under the influence of pottery making traditions adopted from my teachers Will Ruggles and Douglass Rankin. Several trips to central Italy have inspired a figurative direction I call Animal Ware which currently takes the form of candlesticks, vases and bowls.
I began painting with oils as a Resident Artist at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina in 1996. While most of my time is devoted to pottery making, evenings are spent painting. Since working in Cortona, Italy, with the University of Georgia between 2006 & 2013, I have focused on still life and landscapes. In Italy, in an environment where everything is at once new, old, beautiful and interesting, I was constantly inspired & challenged.
Shawn Ireland was born in Lancaster, PA. He received his BFA from Kutztown University in 1990. Over the next 5 years he attended 25 pottery and painting workshops at Penland School of Crafts. In 1991, after a two month workshop with Will Ruggles & Douglass Rankin, he fell in love with clay and fire and was determined to be a wood fire potter.
From 1993-1995 Shawn lived at Penland as part of the Core Student work exchange program. Then from 1996-1999 he became a Resident Artist at Penland School of Crafts. He Built a catenary arch wood kiln and made pots full time, experimenting with local clay & glaze materials. During which time he also began to explore oil painting. In 1997 Shawn Ireland Pottery was established.
Shawn received the Visiting Artist Internship from the University of Georgia (2006-2008). He spent three semesters potting and oil painting in beautiful Cortona, Italy. In 2012 & 2013 he was Studio Coordinator for University of Georgia in Cortona, Italy. Shawn was the 2015 Resident Artist Coordinator at Scuola Internazionale di Grafica. Venice, Italy.
