Those of us who worked at the library during her time as mayor and before remember her as an ardent supporter of the public library. She will be missed and we offer her family our deepest sympathies.

Man Pleads Guilty in Shooting Spree
A man accused of killing three people during a shooting spree pleaded guilty Thursday, though there will still be a trial over his mental competency at the time.
The trial set for May 6 will determine if Scott Harlan Thorpe was sane during the slayings at a mental health center and a restaurant. Thorpe had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
If sane, Thorpe would go to state prison for life without possibility of parole, said Nevada County District Attorney Michael Ferguson. If he's ruled insane, he will go to a state mental hospital.
Thorpe would be subject to another trial should he later be deemed sane.
Thorpe admitted killing two people on Jan. 10, 2001, at the Nevada County mental health department office where he was a patient, and killing the manager at a restaurant he was convinced was poisoning him.
Besides the clinic employee and a bystander who died, two people were injured at the clinic.

|He sends his angels.
Confusion and fear can strike at any time. I remember going shopping one day. Mom got very antsy while we were in Michaels, craft store. I got her to the car and she refused to get in. I tried coaxing, I tried bribing her, begging. This happened before I had a cell phone, so I could not call for assistance, nor could I leave her by herself to go get help. Our standoff probably lasted 45 minutes when a silver haired gentleman approached and asked: "May I be of assistance?"
I told him my dilemma that Mom wouldn't get in the car. I remember the angel smiled at Mom. He spoke gently to her and said "Let me get that door for you".
My Mom's eyes lit up and she grinned. She was very pleased to have such a gallant man open her door for her. I was ecstatic.
He turned to me and said, " I understand, sometimes an outsider can do what we can't do ourselves."
I was so grateful for his intervention. I always worried how are shopping trips would turn out. I could never predict what would set her off and confuse her.
She loved visiting with people. Most of the time our trips brought her great pleasure. The other times they brought me great appreciation for the help of strangers. I also learned to ask other people if they wanted assistance. Sometimes a simple gesture on our part can make all the difference in the world.

Newton Rigg students said their visit to the Lakes Free Range Egg Company (The Lakes) last week was a real eye opener. They learned how eggs are collected, graded and packed on a commercial scale, very much in contrast to the hens they look after at the college.
Sue Robson, Newton Rigg's Programme Manager brought along students from the City and Guilds 'Skills for Working Life – Entry Level 2' Diploma course. The visit to 'The Lakes' aimed to show the similarities and contrasts between domestic and commercial production.
The students were welcomed by Mark Gaskin, Managing Director at the Lakes Free Range Egg Company, who then spent the morning showing the visitors around the factory. Mark explained how they work with a number of small family farms from Cumbria, Lancashire and Scotland, to produce free range eggs for customers across the UK. In total they nearly a million hens producing barn, free range and organic eggs, in great contrast to the 50 poultry currently at the college.
The tour began at the point the eggs are delivered in to the factory and continued right through the grading and packing process, giving students a real insight into how eggs make it onto retail shelves. They were fascinated to hear that the number printed on the egg is a code that can trace the egg back to the farm on which it was laid, but it was the grading machine and the way the system moved eggs around the factory that intrigued them most, stimulating questions all the way round.
Sue Robson, Programme Manager said "Our students were engrossed by the whole operation, asking questions on everything from the life of their hens and the size of eggs, right through to their recycled packaging. It's the second time I've brought students here and I've learned more again on this visit. Talking to our students back at the college, it was the robots and how the system guides eggs to the right size boxes that made a huge impression on some, but for others, it was the grading process that was remembered most. We always know how well a visit is going by the level of interaction, and there were certainly plenty of questions for Mark to answer!"
Once the visit around the factory was completed, the students sat and discussed how eggs are promoted. The college designs their own egg packaging, so they were keen to hear what the egg industry is doing to promote eggs. Jane Wilkinson the Sales and Marketing Director at 'The Lakes' explained how the British Egg Industry has launched a campaign called #eggcentric which aims to encourage more people to use eggs as an ingredient as part of a main meal. The students were all given a copy of the #eggcentric recipe book so they could try recipes at home.
Commenting on their visit Mark Gaskin said "It was a real pleasure to show these students around the factory. They were very interested, eager to learn and quick to pick up on the fact that the eggs are all graded into many different sets of packaging. It's important to teach where our food comes from and how to make a meal from it, so we're always pleased to welcome students. They left with a copy of the new #eggcentric recipe book so we hope they'll try new dishes with their family, although according to one student, the best way to eat an egg is always scrambled. I can't disagree."

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Parking Permits
- Why do I have to pay $30 for a permit?
In 2017, the City analyzed its fees to attempt to recover 30% of its costs. The analysis showed that the residential permit parking program costs the City $440,380 annually ($44 per permit). The costs included staff time to issue and enforce permits, administer parking citations, conduct parking studies, process petitions, and install and maintain parking signs. The fee of $30 for a three year permit equates to $10 per year (as approved by Council) and allows the City to recover 22% of the cost.
- Why do I have to show proof of vehicle registration now?
The City's Municipal Code establishes permit-only parking for resident vehicles. Proof of vehicle registration is now required to ensure only resident vehicles park within permit-only zones.
- My vehicle registration doesn't have my address, how can I obtain permits?
The City will issue a temporary parking permit to give residents time to obtain a new vehicle registration for their qualifying address from the CA Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This can be done on-line at www.dmv.ca.gov. Public Works will accept the DMV on-line change of address confirmation as evidence of new vehicle registration.
There may be unusual incidences where this isn't an option and the City will work with individuals on a case by case basis to obtain alternate proof of vehicle ownership.
- Why are permit-only permits changed from hang tags to windshield stickers?
Windshield stickers offer several benefits: 1) Improved parking enforcement by Police, 2) Permit assigned to a specific resident vehicle as required by Code, 3) Reduced costs for the City
- I have permit-only parking on my street, what do I do if I have a regular visitor?
Any resident of a permit-only street who has purchased permits may also purchase a visitor permit for $5.05. This permit is transferable and is valid for 3 years. Permit holders are also eligible for single-use visitor permits at no charge (see below).
- What do I do if I have more guests than permits for an event I am hosting on my permit street?
Public Works has single-use visitor permits available in stacks of ten to issue to residents who have purchased permits for their vehicles. There is no charge for these permits. In order for the permit to be valid, the resident simply writes the date, in permanent ink marker, on the single-use permit before giving it to his/her guest to display.
- Why are permits now valid in zones?
Zones allow residents to park on nearby streets that require the same type of permit if their street is fully occupied. This helps permit eligible residents utilize the parking supply in their neighborhood.
- Why can't my $30 permit be used anywhere in the City?
Permit parking is meant to address neighborhood issues caused by non-resident vehicles. It is not intended to reserve parking exclusively for a resident throughout the City. Permit streets are established by the residents through a resident sponsored petition. The residents therein mutually agree to limit the time frame of the available parking on their street and to display a parking permit to exceed that time limit.
- My street isn't labeled on the map sent to residents, how do I know where I can park?
The map labels the major streets separating permit zones and your permit is valid within your zone, on any same permitted street.
- How do I remove permit parking on my street?
Any resident may contact the City's Public Works Department, (818) 238-3915, to obtain a petition to remove permit parking. The resident then acts as the petition sponsor to gather signatures from neighbors to demonstrate support of the removal.

Midlothian still sits one match back of district-leading (31-4, 9-1) Red Oak and (30-8, 9-1) Mansfield Lake Ridge with four regular-season matches to play. The ladies will close out the season on the road against (23-14, 6-4) Waxahachie on Friday then return home against Mansfield Legacy (Oct. 17) and Lake Ridge (Oct. 20) before closing out the district slate Oct. 24 at Mansfield Timberview.
Sydney Little fired home 19 kills in the sweep of the Lancaster Lady Tigers and added 11 more on Tuesday to run her season total to 466. Capri Davis, of Mansfield Lake Ridge, leads the district with 488 kills. However, Little sits atop the district hitting-percentage leaderboard with a .357 mark on the season.
Samantha Rodgers also had 12 kills on 15 attempts for an astounding .733 hitting percentage.
Five Lady Panthers recorded aces in the sweep, led by two each from Tara Groden and Kamryn Owen. Owen also recorded 35 assists.
Aliyah Muhammad had three of the Lady Panthers' four blocks. Kelly Buchanan added 15 digs, while Aubrey Walton and Anna Groden had nine, each.
Aubrey Walton led the Lady Panthers with 12 kills on 26 attempts (.423 hitting percentage), while Little added 11 on 32 swings and Rodgers recorded nine in Tuesday's three-set win.
Buchanan had a team-high three aces and 14 digs to bring her two-match total to 29. Little added 12 digs and Walton recorded 11.
Little and Buchanan sit in fourth and fifth on the district digs leaderboard with 408 and 377, respectively.
Owen also notched 34 more assists. The senior leads all of District 10-5A with 975 assists on the season with Waxahachie's Taylor Stoops sitting in a distant second (764).
Midlothian will travel south on US Highway 287 for a rivalry match against Waxahachie. The first serve is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Friday at George W. Solis Gymnasium located on the Waxahachie Ninth Grade Academy campus.
According to MaxPreps.com, Waxahachie leads the head-to-head matchup 13-7 since 2004. The five-set win over the Lady Indians on Sept. 19 was the first match win for the Lady Panthers over the rival since Sept. 16, 2004.

Northern IndyBama
Bio: This American, a socially concerned blogger, is a conservationist and an anti-desertification advocate. Cultures with paralyzed memories expand deserts. These cause and effect traits define human impact in the geologic warming period that is marked by population explosion, technological advancement and desertification of vast tracts of arable land. As a tree-hugger, it's easy to look around the world at deforestation which dries climates, decreases surface water, but increases soil erosion and global warming …evaluating them as slow motion end-times behaviors. It should also be noted that progressive behavioral change holds the potential to stride toward sustainability, and coexistence on a blue-green planet …with others who look, think, talk, or act differently. (Tribalism + Nationalism + Profit-Charter = Corp's War + Human Carnage + Environmental Disaster) If regard for a living environment reached a status equal to that fomented by deities, a bond uniting humanity across cultural and national borders could really exist. The human behavior instruction manual might offer a harmonic concrete experience instead of the confusion in an 1,189 chapter tyrant's windsock that requires interpreters with different intentions to construct misunderstandings about both physical and virtual worlds. Any deity that demands intellectual hypocrisy to absorb what is abstract, and funnels prey to the misguidance that mandates blind-belief, silence and complicity (while spreading clinical paranoid schizophrenia) will just lead people where psychopaths designate. Most religions are better described as "Maleligions" …as their traditions and laws are male contrived and dominated hierarchies. They generally concentrate on controlling women for the convenience of men, and programming both for the advantage of tyrants. A dictator wants blind-believers with a testosterone disadvantage and compliant cracker ovens to repopulate followers, thus erasing fatal mistakes in his tyrannical judgment. Creating "emotional deserts" raft with mental vortexes, (in which to become psychologically lost), leads stealthily to the cultural dissonance and distraction that produces the real ones, "rock paved deserts." The human race is minimally a gaggle of tribes of desert-makers, except for a few that live sustainably. Freed from the bondage of a hereafter (that promises a reunion with familiar like minded people and an aura of mystery), progress and sustainability (unencumbered by cultural apathy and a parched pre-destiny) could exist. But religions general heading is in the opposite direction… suppressing women, sporting flat earth firewalls and celebrating dark-age "dolthood" as it spills human brain power into an everlasting insurance policy.

In the late spring of 1894, William Archer Bice and Matilda Isabel Hickman married in Richmond, Surrey. Two years later, on 11 September, William was born and his birth was registered at Wandsworth. Nothing is known of his early life or when the family moved to the Stockport area. However, by 1914, they were living at 23 Stanley Road, Heaton Moor and there were now three additional children – Ethel (born about 1900), Charles (about 1905) and Frances (about 1907). They moved shortly after this to 45 Preistnall Road, Heaton Mersey and, later, to 158 Heaton Moor Road.
On 10 December 1915, William applied to become an officer. He was then a cadet with the Manchester University Officer Training Corps. It took only a month for him to become a 2nd Lieutenant in the Norfolk Regiment, originally assigned to its 10th (Reserve) Battalion. In due course, it was time for William to go overseas and he was reassigned to the Regiment's 1st Battalion – one of its two pre-War "regular" units (although he was not a regular soldier).
The Battle of the Somme had opened on 1 July but the Battalion did not arrive in the sector until the middle of the month. It was in action at the end of July and suffered heavy casualties while forming up for an attack on Longueval. "A" Company (which is known to have been William's) was reduced in strength to just a single platoon. It is not known when he joined the Battalion but it may have been after this if officer casualties had also been heavy.
After the first day, the British advance continued in series of attacks. Some of these would be large scale, perhaps involving a quarter of million men. Others would be much smaller, involving only one or two divisions (each of 18,000 troops). William would be killed leading his men in one of the latter attacks on the German trenches at a position known as Falfremont Farm, in the south of the battlefield, adjoining the French sector.
Overnight on the 3/4 September, the Norfolks moved into their assembly positions. They were ready by 4.40am with "A" Company on the left and "B" on the right. The plan was that "zero hour" would be set for 3.10pm and that, for 20 minutes before this, the British artillery would heavily shell the Germans. The men would then "go over the top". The attack started on time and the Battalion's War Diary can now take up the story:-
"A & B Coys assaulted. Very heavy machine gun fire opened on them immediately. Captain Farmer and a few men of A Coy. succeeded in reaching the SW corner of the Farm but were bombed out and the remainder of the attack was held up by cross machine gun fire. The situation then became very involved as all the officers but two were either killed or wounded and the advance over a 600 yard front was very split up as the only way to go on was by crawling from shell-hole to shell-hole – any attempt at an advance was immediately stopped by the machine gun fire."
Later in the day, other units attempted to storm the Farm but this also failed.
William's body was recovered from the battlefield and buried close by. His personal effects were sent home to Mr & Mrs Bice. They included his wristwatch, whistle, two pairs of glasses, a mirror in a leather case and several letters. Over the course of the War, the location of his grave was lost (or was destroyed in later fighting) and he is now commemorated on the Memorial to the Missing a few miles away at Thiepval,

The brown earth now an orange pit,
The hot afternoon air turned into mist,
And my modest cigarette lies invisibly in my empty hands
I look around,
Relaxed but not relaxed, new faces everyday
It's like swimming in a research aquarium.
I don't resent it, it's cooling.
My modest cigarette blows a ring of smoke into the air,
I love how he does it, the wind blows it away though
You can't catch it if you ain,t keen.
He speaks with a crude tremor, I aint listening to the wind no more.
My cigarette burns out,
I paint the dirt orange, i rise to leave.

LAS VEGAS - Misfit is expanding its fitness tracker line again, but instead of a design that replaces your current watch, the new Ray looks like an extra piece of jewelry. Misfit introduced the Ray at CES in Las Vegas on Tuesday, and it looks decidedly different from other fitness trackers on the market.
The Misfit Ray fitness tracker
Instead of a boxy body other dedicated fitness trackers offer, or the flat disk of the Misfit Shine, the Ray is a small aluminum tube shape with either a plastic or leather band. Like the Shine, Ray tracks daily steps, distance traveled, calories burned, and sleep patterns. It also uses a user-replaceable battery for six months of use at a time.
It doesn't have a display, but tapping the Ray lights up a single LED that flashes to show how close you are to your daily fitness goals. Your data syncs via Bluetooth with your iPhone, so you can see more details—like how many steps you've taken so far today.
You can also get vibration alerts for incoming calls and text messages on the Ray, remote-trigger your iPhone camera, control smart lights, and play and pause music.
The Misfit Ray is available for pre-order now in black or rose gold for US$99.99 with a plastic band, or $119.99 with a leather band. It'll ship some time this spring.

Fixed: Lalit Modi's take on cash and corruption in cricket
An excerpt from Shantanu Guha Ray's very readable book on the underbelly of Indian cricketbooks Updated: Mar 12, 2016 14:35 IST
An excerpt from Fixed! Cash and Corruption in Cricket, Shantanu Guha Ray's very readable book on the underbelly of Indian cricket
Through June and July 2015, Lalit Modi, the enfant terrible of world cricket—he personally prefers to be called Cricket's Rasputin—preferred spending more time on his handset tweeting than on food, wine or sleep. He gave two interviews to the media, called one of India's leading news anchors a 'monkey', and simply told other reporters who had flown over to meet him next to the bay at Montenegro to 'buzz off '. And then he said he was sorry; actually it was his lawyers who had asked him to adopt 'a silent mode'.
Aditya Varma, the Bihar Cricket Association president who took on N. Srinivasan, warned Modi on the phone: 'You should not tweet too much, talk too much, and do not make too many enemies. That could be a matter of concern for you. I have a feeling you are antagonizing every politician, every political party. That is not good news for you, and us,' Varma told Modi, reminding him of March 2010.

Modi remembered it well.
A Cessna Citation II aircraft had taken off for Chennai from the private base at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji airport, carrying three passengers—Venugopal Dhoot, Videocon chairman; Manoj Jain, the first cousin of Nigeria-based businessman and Modi's brother-in-law Suresh Chellaram; and his wife Reema, daughter of the late Bollywood actor and director Raj Kapoor. They all returned to Mumbai at 3.33 p.m.; by then bids for two new IPL teams had been closed and Videocon had lost the race. An enraged Reema Jain rued the great miss.
And then, all hell broke loose.
Modi's blackberry started buzzing, cabinet ministers got involved, so did power brokers in the Indian capital. Seventweets later, the life and fortunes of Modi were in total disarray. He was suspended as IPL commissioner on charges as serious as betting and money laundering. He had no option but to leave India. Five years later, Modi was still desperately trying to buy peace.
His father, K.K. Modi, once told a few people in Delhi that his son should create a league of his own and forget the BCCI. But that did not happen. Modi knew he was no Kerry Packer to trigger a rebel league. Many—especially Subhash Chandra of Zee Telefilms—also remembered how Modi had busted the Indian Cricket League (ICL) by banning current Indian Test players from participating in the same. But now his cash was under the ED and IT scanner, so were his yacht and private aircraft, used extensively by Vasundhara Raje, the chief minister of Rajasthan, with whom he was closely linked.
High on the ED radar was also the $80 million paid by Multi Screen Media (MSM), formerly Sony Entertainment, toWorld Sports Group (WSG) as 'facilitation' fees to withdraw from the telecast rights contract. WSG had bagged the rights for $918 million for a decade, but the contract was cancelled and a new one signed between IPL and MSM for $1.69 billion for a nine-year period. ED officials were probing whether $25 million of the $80 million paid by MSM to WSG was routed into the illegal accounts of Modi, his associates and political benefi ciaries and if Modi used this money to buy his corporate jet through a Cayman Islands company.
Read: Lalit Modi drops latest suit against Cairns: report
Holed up in London, Modi has slowly lost his friendships with those in power in India, and both the ruling BJP and Opposition Congress have asked for his extradition. Once, he had—on 15 April 2010 to be precise—reached out to Mukesh Ambani, and sought his help. He was turned back, the richest Indian making it clear that Modi must fi rst explain to the investigating agencies that his cash was clean.
He has few friends in the Indian media too. Once he had rubbed Vineet Jain, the owner of India's largest newspaper chain, The Times of India, the wrong way when his men unceremoniously unseated him from a box in Mumbai during an IPL match. The owners of Delhi's other big daily, Hindustan Times, have irreconcilable family-related differences with Modi. Even worse, the flashy IPL guru had once called the editor of an influential daily and wanted to know 'who was that twit' trying to dig up details of his yacht; the person concerned happened to be the daily's head of investigations.
Lalit Modi is not one to be browbeaten. He has not fallen off the public radar either. He tweets now and then, creating ripples in Delhi. People check their handsets for the latest update from him. Modi has told his friends that he is enjoying every moment of his newfound glory, a star despite defeat staring him in the face. After all, his on-the-edge potboiler script is making life difficult for many—all those who have been professionally or personally connected with him. People remember his past. As a student at Duke University in the US, he was charged with drug trafficking, kidnapping and assault after a busted cocaine deal. He returned to India without finishing his probation, pleading ill-health, but was totally unrepentant.
Friends who know him claim that he knows he can survive after burning bridges. Modi says his best author is Paulo Coelho and Arjuna from the Mahabharata his favourite character. In the past, he loved name-dropping because he was powerful. Now, out of power, is still name-bombing. That is his way of staying relevant.
Not everyone hates him though. In the I-Love-Lalit bandwagon are a bevy of former judges, a former top cop, a top editor and a seasoned economist, their revelations giving instant ammunition to a stressed BJP leadership. Former Supreme Court judges, Justice Jeevan Reddy, Justice S.B. Sinha and the late Justice U.C. Banerjee have supported Modi, arguing 'he is not a fugitive'. The judges were backed by former Mumbai Police commissioner R.D. Tyagi. The New Indian Express editor Prabhu Chawla has stood witness for Modi in a case along with his wife Mrinal and father K.K. Tyagi in a London court. Interestingly, Chawla—whose son Ankur, a lawyer, often represented the BCCI—was once keen to acquire an IPL team in partnership with some friends.
Another journalist, Surjit S. Bhalla, a top economist, had penned an opinion piece in The Indian Express, arguing why it was not wrong for Vasundhara Raje and Sushma Swaraj to help Modi. Bhalla's moot point was the same as the judges: Modi is not a fugitive. But their collective stand did not silence Delhi's guns of opposition.
Officers in the Intelligence Bureau (IB) are wondering what action to take against Vivek Nagpal, a controversial businessman, whom Modi described as a hawala dealer in Delhi, and Omita Paul, President Pranab Mukherjee's powerful secretary, whom Modi claimed he is close to. That Nagpal was sitting in a special row during the swearing-in ceremony of Narendra Modi's cabinet last year is not good news for the ruling BJP. Worse, Modi—almost like a Guy Fawkes of cricket—has attached a seventy-five-page document in PDF format on Nagpal in one of his tweets, offering loads of detail on this controversial businessman.

'He is making baseless statements. The party's position is clear, he is a fugitive and will be brought back to India soon,' argued BJP's Sambit Patra, who has been spending a little over fourteen hours in news studios and offering telephonic comments. The party, it is reliably learnt, has even set up a core team to handle the Modi crisis.
The BJP is also worried because there are reports that officers of the Income Tax department—some of them on a high after the PM told them not to fear any minister—are keen to probe whether Modi used a charge card of Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje for expenses abroad. IT offi cers, it is rumoured, could even hand over the files pertaining to the charge card issue to the Enforcement Directorate.
Having successfully set a storm in the ruling elite in Delhi, Modi is happily enjoying life. His friends in Delhi claim that the former IPL chief commissioner is partying regularly, regaling his friends with what he calls 'the story of my assassins'. He said he borrowed the line from a novel written by journalist Tarun Tejpal, who started Tehelka, an investigative magazine. 'Where is that bloody fellow, hiding somewhere in India?' he even asked a London friend. Modi even spoke to writer Shobha De about his biography but the seasoned columnist and a publisher backtracked after they had read one chapter.
'That was scandalous, scandalous, scandalous. We all would be in jail. Modi was saying all politicians—he named almost everyone—linked to cricket were corrupt. We dropped the off er,' De said in an interview in June 2015. Modi, meanwhile, was back on his tweets.
'So all those (who) are on a witch hunt—time to know you all live in (a) glass house. By the way I document every meeting when someone asks for a bribe and I circulate to my lawyers (xyz) has asked for this in exchange for this. Off course I never paid. But record I did,' the disgraced cricket czar tweeted recently. The thinly veiled threats never fail to hit their mark. One recent tweet speaks about how he dined with Priyanka and Robert Vadra a year back at a London restaurant. And how Varun Gandhi, BJP leader and son of NDA minister Maneka Gandhi, had met him in London and promised to resolve his case by 'talking to Sonia Gandhi'.
Troubled with his tweets, former law minister H.R. Bhardwaj said: 'Lalit Modi has started a storm and no one will be able to escape it.' A fl abbergasted Congress spokesperson, Randeep Surjevala, even called Modi a juvenile, almost like a teacher admonishing a Class III student, and kept quiet at that. Probably Surjewala did not know how the Vadras would react to the tweet. Modi then castigated the current IPL head, Rajeev Shukla, asking about 'secrets of his wealth from a lowly reporter to a television magnate'. There were rumors that he would soon drop some more names to link Shukla to some 'questionable characters' in cricket.
Shukla, who refused to comment on the tweet, has—it is reliably learnt—already tried to reach out to Modi, who has not responded. Consider this one, another Modi beamer, to those who sought favours from him: 'I have record book 4 each and every ticket seat no wise. What value it was and who paid for it cash or check or free,' tweeted Modi.
The disgraced cricket czar does not want to talk but drops hints of fi re, indicating in his interview with a news channel how 'in time of war the general never sleeps, you have to be ready for the unexpected'. He has also demanded that the Congress come clean on its association with the 'Modi family'. 'My specifi c query to Congress Party—specifi cally— has the Modi Group or as a matter of fact any group ever provided you any of your MPs any hospitality, favors, election funding, rides on planes, hotel, cars, dinners, plants in your constituency etc etc,' he tweeted.
Modi knows he has enough ammunition in his kitty as he has meticulously maintained his records and taped his conversations. He is wanted by the ED for economic offences but positions himself as a crusader against corruption in politics. A line added to his Twitter profile reads: 'Busy cleaning Political Mafi a'. He has even gone after finance minister Arun Jaitley, asking him to 'tell the truth, for once'.
Writer-filmmaker Pritish Nandy says he has become a fan of Modi: 'Whether you like @LalitKModi or not, follow his twitter ID. It's explosive. I have a feeling he has law on his side and hence, confident.' Former CBI director R.K. Raghavan, who once headed Interpol in India, said in a telephonic interview that one should not read anything into the pictures of Modi with former Interpol Secretary-General Ronald Noble which have been floating around. 'Dubious people often want pictures with powerful people. But Noble has left the Interpol and you should not take everything Modi saying as gospel truth.'
Noble, in fact, told The Indian Express that New Delhi never sought the extradition of Modi during the time he was with the Interpol. Raghavan said that even if the ED gets enough evidence against Modi to seek his extradition, 'it would take several years before anything of signifi cance takes place'. He cited the example of former Indian Navy Lt Commander, Ravi Shankaran, involved in the War Room leak case at the Naval Headquarters. Shankaran is currently holed up in London and India has not been able to extradite him despite substantial evidence against him. In fact, a UK court quashed an extradition order issued by the British Home Secretary.
In short, it is evident that Delhi does not have a solid case against Modi, who has certainly shaken up the political establishment, forcing everyone to duck for cover. And the BJP is nervous. Arun Jaitley, Vasundhara Raje, Sushma Swaraj—some of the big wickets have already fallen.
But no one knows how to control Modi. Strangely, it was the BCCI who had alleged that Modi had manipulated the IPL process, handed out favours and run the tournament for the benefi t of a coterie of family and friends. But now the world's richest cricket board is totally silent. While Modi threatens to clean Indian politics like Gandhian Anna Hazare. Except, as a portal wonderfully remarked: 'Cricket's consummate insider is the antithesis of Hazare, with his Armani suits, Rambagh Palace suites and jet-setting exile in London and Ibiza and Montenegro, akin to the chemo that destroys everything in its path—good, bad and indiff erent.'
The Lalit Modi story is far from over; the fugitive cricket czar has not changed his ways of talking, and living. In the first week of July 2015, he was asked by a television reporter about what he was drinking when the latter heard a slurping noise while having a conversation with Modi.'Coconut water,' Modi replied.
'Oh, I thought you were having vodka. There is only one other person associated with Indian cricket who loved coconut water,' the reporter replied. 'Who is that?' asked Modi. 'N. Srinivasan,' replied the reporter. 'Damn you,' Modi banged the phone down. And then he called again: 'Well, very soon I will be out of this cricket czar, cricket fugitive mess. I am planning something big.' 'What is it, Lalit?' the reporter asked. 'A football league on the lines of La Liga and English Premier League in China,' replied Modi. He knows how to keep journos on their toes.

Mark Hummel is now endorsing Sonny Jr harp amps exclusively. Hummel, of course, is the impresario behind the hugely successful Blues Harp Blowout concerts, and a talented harp player, performer, and band leader. Mark Hummel has more to do with the current popularity of blues harp playing than just about any person on the planet.
This is impressive for Sonny Jr. amps. It got my attention in a big way when Gary Smith endorsed Sonny Jr. amps, and this is another big win for Gary Onofrio, the amps' maker. I talked to Gary Smith at some length about his endorsement, and I'm convinced it is sincere and complete. Smith and Hummel can play any amp they want -- probably for free -- but they chose Sonny Jr amps. Onofrio does not reveal his endorsement policy, but I doubt he gives 'em away to anybody.

Love is More- a poem
Love is More
By Tony DeLorger © 2011
Were it not for the dispassionate dismissal of love lost,
I would not have found its meaning,
the true value and core of its action.
I would not have found true love.
Beyond the romantic notions of falling to emotion,
there is a truth, like a bright star in the night sky.
Love seats itself within reach for those attune to it,
but it is not just of the heart.
True love is not connected to the physical,
it resides within our soul, the real essence of our being.
It is not just an emotion but an action,
a purposeful kindness and selflessness that defies definition.
Love is no fairytale, no preconceived paradigm,
but the result of surrender and sacrifice,
the expression of deeply felt devotion and care.
Sex is rarely the expression of love, but of lust and need.
True love is making tea, opening a door and sharing thoughts.
It is standing by your side in times of illness,
making your favourite meal and letting you sleep in.
Love is more the doing rather than the feeling.
Words can never convey deep resounding love,
It can in no way describe the feeling of peace and contentment.
Love resides within us as our greatest potential,
and once found, our greatest achievement.

-Pat S. Henderson
Many thanks to Carl for taking the time to explain my options carefully and honestly. He made sure I understood what my car needed to get on the road again. I have never had a mechanic treat me with such respect. Way to go, guy!
-Jorge R.The Lakes
I always hated taking my car to the mechanic. I always felt as I was getting ripped off. I am happy to say that Carl changed all that. I didn't get hit with any unexpected charges and the work was completed when he said it would. I am not afraid to bring my car to Carl! Thanks!
-Maria F. Las Vegas
Hey guys, we just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make sure our car was fixed in time for an important road trip. Thanks for going above and beyond!
-Greg and Pamela Summerlin
Carl had my problem diagnosed within two hours and had my car back to me within the same day. I was shocked when I was told that the problem was minor. My repair cost substantially less than I expected. I knew then, that I had finally found an honest mechanic.
-Bill P.Las Vegas
Carl's Cool Cars offers honest and reliable auto repair...Our customers can vouch for it!

Crime Branch is biased against me, claims Gawli
As elections near, gangster-turned-politician Arun Gawli is playing all his cards to get out of jail, and the police too are doing their best to keep him in.india Updated: Apr 05, 2009 00:44 IST
As elections near, gangster-turned-politician Arun Gawli is playing all his cards to get out of jail, and the police too are doing their best to keep him in.
On Monday, the high court will hear Gawli's bail application in connection with Shiv Sena corporator Kamlakar Jamsandekar's murder in 2007.
In his application, Gawli has alleged that "the office of the DCB, CID Unit III has a personal grudge against him" and that "the attitude of the respondent state towards him is bias and vindictive in nature".
Gawli had floated the Akhil Bharatiya Sena and won the 2004 elections with over 92,000 votes. Alleging that his party's gaining popularity was not going down well with certain politicians, the application stated: "Whenever elections are likely to be announced or to be held, the applicant [Gawli] is harassed and humiliated by the police machinery, particularly by the DCB CID Unit III, by implicating him in false criminal cases".
On March 2, 2007, the Saki Naka police had registered a case against Gawli for Jamsandekar's murder.
Initially, the police had arrested seven men, and Gawli was not named in the first information report.
But in March 2008, when the Crime Branch (CB) arrested four other men in an extortion case, Gawli's name cropped up in an alleged confessional statement and he was arrested on April 21.
The CB called for the case papers and station diary of Jamsandekar's murder from the Saki Naka police on April 26 and 29, 2008, the application stated. And on April 29, Gawli was shown arrested in Jamsandekar's murder.
For application of the stringent anti-organised crime Act (MCOCA), the CB citied four earlier cases, claimed Gawli.
Opposing his bail, Assistant Commissioner of Police Ashok Duraphe filed an affidavit stating that Gawli has a total of 42 cases against him. "Gawli, through his continuous criminal activities, has compelled us to keep him inside the jail," the affidavit said.

I'm hoping to finish all 6 printables before the actual day. I may have to call in some reinforcements (aka my sister) to finish helping. Her brain is filled to the brim with creativity, and I know she'll have some wonderful ideas and/or suggestions. She can tell me if it sucks or if it is good enough to show the world. The joy of having a twin sister.... Minds think a lot alike!
If I seem absent for the next day or so, it is because I will be hurrying to finish in time. Nothing like a deadline to make a nutcase even nuttier.

Prism 4 has a lot to offer in terms of its primary features, which includes UI Composition (Regions), Modularity, Pub/Sub events, Commands, Navigation, and MVVM guidance. But there are also a number of helpful little chunks of code included that you can use or copy even if you are not using the rest of Prism.
One of those that I want to show you how to use in this post is the DataTemplateSelector class. DataTemplates in WPF have a very important feature: the DataType property that allows DataTemplates to be automatically applied to a data bound object based on its type. This feature is very similar to the implicit styles capability that WPF has had since the start that is a new feature in Silverlight 4.
Unfortunately Silverlight is still lacking this feature. In Silverlight, you have to associated a single data template with a data bound control through its template property (ItemTemplate for ItemsControl and ContentTemplate for ContentControl). When you want to bind to a heterogeneous collection of objects (that all share a common base class or interface that the collection is defined in terms of), you are kind of stuck in Silverlight if you want to write specific templates per derived type.
DataTemplateSelector from Prism comes to the rescue for this scenario however. The definition of DataTemplateSelector is kind of strange – it is a ContentControl derived class that amounts to a switch-case statement you can put in your XAML to select the right data template based on the actual type of the data object it is being rendered for.
So as a simple example, say that you had some base class that a number of different derived classes were going to inherit from. Each derived class was going to define its own set of properties that need to be presented and bound to controls when that type is encountered in a collection of the base class type.
So with a simple base type like the following:
2: {
3:publicint ID { get; set; }
4:publicstring Name { get; set; }
5: }
7:publicclass DataType2 : DataTypeBase
8: {
9:publicint Index { get; set; }
10:publicstring Description { get; set; }
11: }
3:<TextBlockText="{Binding ID}"/>
5:<TextBlockText="{Binding Name}"/>
11:<TextBoxText="{Binding Index}"/>
13:<TextBoxText="{Binding Description}"/>
This is all just simple, basic Silverlight (and WPF) data binding concepts so far.
Now say we want to expose a collection from a view model that allows us to put instances of both DataType1 and DataType2 in it. We would just define a collection in terms of the base class:
2: {
3:public MainPageViewModel()
4: {
5: Data = new ObservableCollection
6:// Hard code some items for demo purposes
7: Data.Add(new DataType1 { ID = 42, Name = "Fred" });
8: Data.Add(new DataType2 { Index = 33, Description = "This is a different data type" });
9: }
10:public ObservableCollection
11: }
Now the only problem in Silverlight is how to associate those data templates applied. If there were only going to be a single type or a single rendering of the objects in the bound control, you could just set a single data template through the ItemTemplate property:
2:ItemTemplate="{StaticResource MyDataTemplate}"/>
But we want both data templates defined above to be applied to their respective types, which will be in the bound collection. This is where the DataTemplateSelector comes in.
The way you use it is to define a DataTemplate (typically as a resource at the current time because of this bug that causes memory leaks if you define a DataTemplate nested under the element). Inside the DataTemplate, you create an instance of the DataTemplateSelector. Then you simply nest the multiple DataTemplates you want to apply by type inside the DataTemplateSelector's resources:
9:<TextBlockText="{Binding ID}"/>
11:<TextBlockText="{Binding Name}"/>
17:<TextBoxText="{Binding Index}"/>
19:<TextBoxText="{Binding Description}"/>
You can see that because the DataTemplateSelector is a ContentControl, it can be the single root element of a DataTemplate, and an "instance" of it will be rendered out for each item in the collection it is used with. However, the DataTemplateSelector does not really have any visual appearance of its own. What it does is render out one of the DataTemplates defined in its Resources collection, selecting the appropriate one based on the data type of the object that is the DataContext.
So the steps are as follows:
- Define a DataTemplate in your Resources and give it a key.
- Declare a Prism DataTemplateSelector as the element of the DataTemplate.
- Set its Content by binding to the DataContext that flows into it (Content={Binding}).
- Add individual DataTemplates in the Resources collection of the DataTemplateSelector
- Set the x:Key for each nested DataTemplate to the Type name of the data object you want it to be used for.
- Set the root DataTemplate as the ItemTemplate on a control bound to a heterogeneous collection of those types.
Simple, straightforward, works great. You can download a full sample here.

When a Reddit user was presented with a "special request box" at the time of booking a room at the Woodlands Resort, he decided to have some fun with the hotel staff. He left the following request in the online form box: "Three red M&Ms on the counter. Not packages, just three single M&Ms. One for me, one for my girlfriend and one to split if we get hungry late at night. And a picture of bacon set on the bed. I love pictures of bacon."
Then he and his girlfriend went to the resort and, lo and behold, their wishes were answered. As he posted on Reddit and as it was retold here for the Reddit-challenged, the hotel did exactly as he asked and he even shot photos for evidence.
Three M&Ms lined up on the table and one photo of bacon framed and placed on the bed.

In the Reddit thread, a woman referring to herself as TXallison responded to the original poster saying she worked at the resort and they got a kick out of the request. They printed a photo of bacon they found online. She even posted a picture of her name badge from the resort as proof she works there.
Tuesday morning, they posted this to their Google+ account:
One of our guests had an unusual request. It was our pleasure to accommodate his request. Who doesn't love bacon!?
It's good to know the folks at the Woodlands Resort Hotel have a sense of humor...and are this concerned with the happiness of their guests.

We will be in Padova/Venezia for the rest of February; although not the purpose of the trip, we are considering going to some Carnivale events. As I understand it now, you can rent a costume for the tidy sum of around Euro 600-700 or buy one for Euro 2500!!! Well I think that answers our plans to attend one of the costume Balls!!! I guess we will settle for watching one of the parades and going to a nightclub.
Anyone have any experience with Carnivale foods, events, etc. other than" Frittelle alla crema"?

Ayla Walsh O'Neill is helping other kids this Christmas.
Ayla Walsh O'Neill is helping other kids this Christmas.
Rachel Farrell
A seven-year-old girl from Firhouse has raised over €1,000 in three days for families in need this Christmas.
When Ayla Walsh O'Neill told her mother Doireann she wanted to give something back this Christmas by giving computer tablets to less fortunate children, she didn't realise the impact it would have online.
On the night of The Late Late Toy Show, Doireann uploaded a letter Ayla had written about her plans to pick out presents for children's charity Barnardos to her Facebook page.
"My mammy told me that Christmas is a time of year when people remember to be kind, and now that I'm in on the secret, I can help too," Ayla wrote.
After posting the letter for her friends to see, what happened next came as a surprise to Doireann.
"People started sharing it, and people I don't know asked me for my Paypal," she revealed.
"I had friends from different counties saying 'here, give her a tenner from me'.
"I then put up the Barnardos link and I think quite a good few people donated through there first, as they got a good bit of money in on Friday night."
As a result, Doireann set up a separate GoFundMe page so they could track the donations.
"Some people donated 60 quid, a lot of them are people I don't even know," she added.
Doireann explained that homelessness was something she was quite open about with Ayla from a young age.
"I'd be outside Aldi and there would be a guy there that nobody speaks to, so I'd go over and come back and she'd be like 'who's that? When we'd go inside I'd explain the situation."
Ayla plans to use the money to buy Android tablets and headphones for the children.
"The reason I chose tablets is because they are good for girls and boys of all ages, everyone wants one and they don't take up much space," she wrote.
"If eight people donate €10 each then that's €80, so that's a tablet and a pair of headphones right there, which saves one kid's Christmas."
Doireann said she went along with the idea at first but began to take her daughter's plans more seriously when she realised how much it meant to her.
"When she says something she means it and I didn't want to let her down because I felt she could do so much."
Donations on the GoFundMe page stand at over €1,100, but Doireann believes many people donated directly through Barnardos.

Music festivals: Las Vegas 2014/15, editor's picks
June's Electric Daisy Carnival is not the only show in town, writes PJ Perez. Make dates in your diary for Life is Beautiful and Rock in Rio too…
What can draw almost 350,000 people to a dusty racetrack in the middle of the Mojave Desert during one of the hottest months of the year, when daytime temperatures easily crack 100 degrees Fahrenheit? The Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), of course. This massive, three-night celebration of electronic music returned to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for a fourth year at the end of June, and featured more than 100 of the world's top DJs and electronic dance music (EDM) artists performing on multiple stages.
Although Insomniac Productions stages versions of EDC in other cities around the globe, the Las Vegas edition is the biggest – and as of 2013, it has become the largest electronic music festival in the world, period. EDC is more than just a giant dance party, however. With neon-kissed carnival rides, interactive art installations and decor that evokes an electrified version of Lewis Carroll's Wonderland, EDC is a senses-awakening trip to a glowing alien planet, set to the fist-pumping beats of today's hottest dance music.
The EDC experience isn't limited to the confines of the Speedway, however. The entire week surrounding the annual festival has become an entity of its own, as almost every major nightclub on the Las Vegas Strip hosts many of the event's headlining DJs and musical acts under the umbrella of 'EDC Week'. In fact, even before the official announcement of the 2014 EDC lineup was made, the list of EDC Week club headliners – which included Dada Life, Tiësto, Steve Aoki, Calvin Harris and Avicii – already confirmed the titanic talent who'd be taking the stage at EDC.
EDC's standing as Las Vegas' largest ongoing music-oriented festival could be challenged, however, when the Life is Beautiful Festival returns for its sophomore outing from 24 to 26 October 2014. Unlike EDC, Life is Beautiful happens smack in the middle of downtown Las Vegas, centered around the hip Fremont East Entertainment District.
The inaugural edition of Life Is Beautiful featured headliners such as The Killers, Kings of Leon, Empire of the Sun, Vampire Weekend and Beck, and the 2014 version will once again provide a diversity of powerhouse acts, including Kanye West, Foo Fighters, Outkast, Skrillex and Arctic Monkeys – as well as massive art installations, celebrity chef appearances, carnival rides, food and liquor tastings, and interactive exhibits. Be sure to follow Life is Beautiful on its various social media channels, because the event's organisers often hold contests for ticket giveaways, and that's also how they announced the pre-sale of exclusive early-bird discounted tickets two weeks before the public on-sale date.
Nipping at Life is Beautiful's heels is the recently announced Rock in Rio USA, which will transform a currently vacant chunk of land on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip into the 'City of Rock' for two weekends next year: 8 to 9 and 15 to 16 May 2015. The inaugural Las Vegas edition will likely resemble other Rock in Rio festivals, with an amusement park atmosphere including city-themed streets, a flying DJ booth and, of course, dozens of the world's top musical talents performing on multiple stages. The lineup is still being assembled, but previous Rock in Rio festivals have featured some of the world's biggest pop and rock artists, including Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Metallica, the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen – a good indication that Sin City will indeed rock for those two weekends in May next year.
Want to ensure you don't miss out on tickets to this mega-concert experience? Head over to RockInRio.com now to register for pre-sale access to tickets when they finally go on sale, because Rock in Rio tickets typically sell out within hours of being released.

TV Fashion Recap: Parks and Recreation Series Finale
TV Fashion Recap is a biweekly column featuring the best of TV fashion. Every other week, we recreate our favorite outfits from the most recent episodes of all of the hottest shows. Stay tuned; we may feature your favorite show next!
One of the best shows and casts in TV history. | Photo Credit
Every other week, I break down the best of TV fashion, featuring my favorite looks from the last two weeks. This week, I was inspired by Parks and Recreation's phenomenal series finale.
Can we have a moment of silence to mourn the ending of one of my favorite comedy series of all time, Parks and Recreation? It's seven seasons of hilarity, strong female characters, and of course, Ron Swanson, who gave us such wisdom as "There's only one thing I hate more than lying: skim milk. Which is water that's lying about being milk" and "History began July 4th, 1776. Anything before that was a mistake." God, I'm going to miss him.
This is one of those shows that has me perpetually cracking up and trying not to cry at the same time. That sounds odd and slightly frightening, but the show is just so incredibly heartwarming and witty. I cried throughout the series finale, and afterward, I needed to have a Treat Yo' Self day. (If you haven't heard of this phenomenal holiday, you need to watch this clip and then treat yo' self to some serious Parks and Rec marathoning, cupcakes, and online shopping.)
Read on to see both of these Parks and Rec-inspired looks:
April's Printed Tank and Cobalt Cardigan
Classic April face. | Photo Credit
April is sarcastic, anti-social, and a little dark. She's also my spirit animal. She says extremely relatable things like, "I hate talking to people about things" and "I don't want to do things. I want to not do things," which I think to myself every time I do Calculus homework. She also has a soft spot for animals, so we could hang out, hold puppies, and make fun of Jerry, the Parks character who's a punchline unto himself.
Cardigan, Tank, Pants, Flats, Bracelet, Purse
To recreate April's casual and sophisticated outfit, start with a black-and-white printed tank paired with a bright blue cardigan for a fun pop of color. Slip on a pair of dark wash or black skinny jeans to keep the focus on the cobalt sweater and the light-colored accessories.
Wear neutral flats - this pair has a bow detailing that we know April would love. Well, she'd roll her eyes and insult them, which is April's equivalent to gushing. Accessorize with a large, tan bag; crossbody bags are one of her wardrobe staples. I assume that's where she keeps her eyeliner and alcohol (two of her favorite things). Finish off with a small, sparkly bangle to add subtle dose of glam to the outfit.
Lucy's Skater Dress and Statement Necklace
Lucy's also mastered the 'April face' | Photo Credit
Lucy is one of Tom Haverford's love interests, and I can see why. She's gorgeous, smart, and witty. She also shares wise life advice, such as "My father told me that a limp handshake was for weak men and communists. He hated both." She's got Ron Swanson's stamp of approval, which means she has mine, too.
Dress, Lipgloss, Blush, Necklace, Flats | Hair Photo: ELLE
Lucy's look is perfect for a date or girl's night - it's glamorous and most importantly, super-easy to recreate. Start with a gray skater dress and a gray or black statement necklace. Slip on a pair of black flats - the black and gray color palette will make the romantic pink makeup stand out more.
Swipe on a few coats of a coral pink lipgloss, then apply a cream blush in a similar shade. Cream blush looks dewier than its powder counterpart, so it'll help give you Lucy's radiant glow.
Lucy finished off her look with a gorgeous braided updo, so for bonus points, try something like this, or if you are like me and can't even manage a ponytail half the time, get one of your friends (or a confused and tortured-looking boyfriend - thanks, honey!) to help.
Your thoughts?
Did you watch the Parks and Rec series finale? What do you think of these looks? Did we miss any amazing outfits from the past week of TV? Which shows do you think deserve a spot on the next TV Fashion Recap post? Leave a comment below and tell us what you think!

|'Saints and Sinners' Project Action Plan and Timetable
|Week No
|Date Week
|Outcomes Achieved?
|*As I was able to complete what I put in last week's action plan, this action plan will not be too different*
As I have mentioned through all of my action plans, I will not be available to rehearse any Saints and Sinners pieces. This is due to being in technical and dress rehearsals for Bonnie and Clyde. I will therefore be unavailable Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. In order to keep on track, although I will be limited on time, I will make sure that I go over everything I need to regarding my pieces. After the stumble run last Friday, I am aware that there are currently changes being made to the current script due to the weak links, therefore, before the dress run on Friday, I would like to have a look at the script so that I can be aware of the new structure and if I have any new lines for Ruby. After my meeting with Alex on Friday, he has said that he will look around college as he feel that there will be a long white dress. If not, then I have found some online, but if I have to get them, then I will not be able to have it for the dress run.
As I was not able to have a Shopping and F***ing rehearsal with Sian last week, I would like to have one on Thursday before the dress run as we did get feedback about our characters and the relationship between the two, we need to still work this out and what our feeling to the situation are. We also need to have this make more sense to the audience about what the piece is about and what my character is selling.
|In order to have a Shopping and F***ing rehearsal with Sian, we will need a rehearsal space where we can rehearse to the space we will have in the theatre. We are going to have help from a tutor with this rehearsal to give us feedback, therefore, I will not only need to see when Sian is free, but a tutor as well. In order to complete the dress run, we will need a space the size of our performing space, but as the theatre will have the Bonnie and Clyde set, we will most likely do this in the dance studio.
Costume wise, I will need my Shopping and F***ing costume for the dress run, if I am able to get my Saint Joan costume from college, I will use that as well. However, if I need to get a costume online, then I will need finances in order to solve this issue.
|Changes to the script have been made this week, which a new version uploaded on Thursday, I was then able to look at it before Friday's stumble run, where the main issue for me was looking at staging, particularly for Shopping and F***ing and Rebel. I can now go away and adapt to the staging of the show.
In terms of my aim for the costume, Alex was unable to find anything on what I had researched, however, I had found a white dress which I talked about with Lynn. Her thoughts were that the costume was not right for the character and after looking at it more and going into deeper thought with her character, wasn't right. This is because in my cut version of the monologue in the script, I have the line "I could drag about in a skirt", which indicates that she could, but she won't, as my research stated how she preferred to wear men's clothes and armour. Therefore, I need to get a costume sorted on Monday before the technical run on Tuesday.
I was able to get a rehearsal with Sian and Erica for Shopping and F***ing, where more detail was added to my character in terms of her explaining the story, her emotions are more varied, but with still the same personality. We were also able to work on Sian's reactions to Ruby's story as Lulu which can add more comedy into the piece and make the characteristics clearer.
|As there have not been many changes to week 11, week 12 will be the same, but if there are any changes, I will update my action plan.
Due to the Bonnie and Clyde set being taken down on Monday and the need to change all of the lighting for Saints and Sinners, Monday will be dedicated to going over pieces and ensuring that everything has been cleaned. I will make sure that I am still off book with Saint Joan and if I struggle, I will note down everything I need to work on it. For Shopping and F***ing, I would like to have at least run through with Sian to ensure that we are solid on the scene and talk through any last minute issues which we can sort. Hopefully by Tuesday we should be able to have a technical run which at the moment, would take place in the afternoon, I need to ensure that I have everything I need in college so in case I need it, it will be there. I need to go over the script so I know where my cues are and mark when I will be on stage.
Wednesday will be a dress run so I definitely need to have all of my costume, I need to ensure that I am focused and I know my scenes fully. Going into opening night that evening, I need to have my script marked with any changes that are made Tuesday and Wednesday.
Notes will be given to us from Wednesday night's show, which I can then take into account and add into my performance on Thursday night. Following that, I will need to write my evaluation, which I am aiming to have completed by Friday 2nd June.
Unit 12 UPDATED ACTION PLAN (15th May with End of Week Evaluation)
