AT&T Third-Quarter Profit Fell By 11%, in Line With Forecasts
Long-Distance Rivalries, More Spending Following Spinoff Cut Period Earnings
The new AT&T Corp.'s third-quarter profit dropped 11%, in line with the company's shocking projection last month, reflecting cutthroat competition in long-distance services and spending on new businesses such as local-telephone, wireless and Internet services.
Rivals ranging from small long-distance-service resellers to Sprint Corp. and wily Internet players continue to rock AT&T as it labors to complete a three-way breakup and find a new president and eventual successor to Chairman Robert E. Allen. While AT&T moved...

When I first saw this word in my A.W.A.D e-mail, I thought, hey, that's a good word to describe me. Then I saw the part about the maggots.
I dunno; am I'm nauseatingly sentimental? slightly nauseatingly? insipidly?
Does "weakly emotional" mean the same as "sickly sentimental" mean the same as maudlin? I didn't think so. I always thought maudlin implied sadness. Sickly sentimental is sentimental in an nauseatingly sweet manner which sounds like mawkish to me. I don't know what they mean by weakly emotional.
Bathetic was a new word for me. While I have heard of bathos, like pathos, I didn't know what it meant, so I had to look bathos up, too.
I looked up mawk and mawke, but mawke isn't in the dictionary, and mawk is a programming term, probably has something to do with awk. Mawky means maggoty.
So I don't think I'll start using mawkish to describe myself.
PRONUNCIATION: (MAW-kish)1 /ˈmɔkɪʃ/2 (mô'kĭsh)3
- Excessively sentimental, especially in a false or childish manner. 1
- Having a nauseating taste or smell. 1
- Characterized by sickly sentimentality; weakly emotional; maudlin 2
- Having a mildly sickening flavor; slightly nauseating.
- Excessively and objectionably sentimental.3
- Sickening or insipid in taste.
- From Middle English mawke (maggot). Are maggots sentimental? We don't know, but the secondary sense of the word mawkish derives from the disgust we feel at the sight of the insect. By extension the word began to refer to something sickeningly sentimental. 1
- 1660–70; obs. mawk maggot (late ME < ON mathkr maggot) + -ish2
- 1668, sickly, nauseated, from M.E. mawke "maggot"; sense of "sickly sentimental" is first recorded 1702.3
sentimental, teary, bathetic, drippy, hokey, maudlin, mushy

Sarah Wollaston Chair, Health Committee, Chair, Liaison Committee (Commons)
I am afraid that I feel Mr Young's comments do cross a line and are indicative of an underlying character. We are talking about the kind of person who would tweet comments to a woman about masturbating over images of refugees—this does just cross a line. I feel that he should withdraw. When we apply for jobs, we all say whether or not there is anything in our past that could cause embarrassment. If that question was asked and it was answered "no", there is clearly a case for the board revisiting this and asking him to step down.
Jo Johnson Minister of State (Department for Education) (Universities and Science) (Joint with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy), Minister of State (Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy) (Universities and Science) (Joint with the Department for Education)
I recognise that, as I have said, many of the tweets have been obnoxious and repellent in many ways—obviously, I have not seen all 40,000 of them—but it is also important to recognise that that tweet was probably eight or nine years old, since which time Mr Young has been on something of a developmental journey. It is possible that there is a capacity for reform, and we want to encourage Mr Young to develop the best sides of his personality—those that have led to him setting up good schools and to working with disadvantaged children in London so that they can make the most of their potential. It is for those reasons that he has been appointed to the board.
If you would like to view my voting record it can be seen on the Public Whip's website, but you need to see how this information is compiled as it can sometimes be misleading.
If you would like to see full details of what's on in Parliament this week, you can do so via the Parliament website.

Ikenie to Yuki no Setsuna review
Square Enix, who now make boy band action games *cough* FFXV *cough* created this studio called Tokyo RPG Factory to make old school RPG games and Ikenie to Yuki no Setsuna is the first game from the studio.
+ An actually good story where characters didn't speak in anime cliches and didn't try to be too clever. I love the whole RPG tradition of visit a new place and pick up a new team member with an interesting backstory whereas most current games the characters are schoolmates or a harem cliche.
+ The dialogue is about the mission and not meaningless slice of life chatter.
+ You can play the protagonist Endo as your typical good guy or be a jerk. :)
+ Chrono Trigger + FFVII materia inspired battle system where you can mix and combine special moves. Random battles are easy but I had fun trying to equip the right stones to unluck combinations.
+ The Setsuna system where the orb slowly fills out and when you use it, actions have a secondary effect. Although its a turn based game, time passes when you are not in an action menu and sometimes its better to wait to use your turn for the Setsuna effect.
+ Great piano music. Nothing Chrono Trigger good but sets the mood nicely.
+ Lots of powerful enemies for you to beat after clearing that make the last boss look like a pussy.
+ What little budget they had, Tokyo RPG Factory spent it on the important stuff which was story and gameplay. This is the opposite of Studios like Furyu who spend all their money on voice acting, moe pictures and non on gameplay.
- No freaking voice acting save for two points in the game. This game was made on a shoestring budget.
- Villages all look the same with the same people in every village.
- Could have been a great RPG if Tokyo RPG Factory were given a decent budget to work with. The last village really showed what they could have done with more time and money.
- No freaking cross save with the Vita version. WTF?
If you love old school RPGs, there is nothing else out there except maybe Stella Glow which was tolerable. If you accept the budgetary limitations, Ikenie to Yuki no Setsuna is an RPG with heart and made with love. Do get the PS4 version because apparently the loading times on the Vita version are crap, just like Exist Archive. I'm going to double dip and get the Vita version just to support the studio. The Japanese level is pretty easy except for one character who speaks in formal archaic Japanese.
My next JRPG might be Summon Night 6 depending on how the demo is. My dream would be version 2.0 of the game with upgraded graphics and voice acting. Its been a while since I've played a satisfying JRPG so me very happy. I'm looking forward to whatever game Tokyo RPG Factory is going to do next.

Honolulu Museum of Art
Exhibition Overview
In the 19th century, the graphic arts—printmaking and drawing—diverged from their traditional illustrative function to become fertile ground for innovation and personal expression. Noting this trend, the influential poet and art critic Charles Baudelaire singled out printmaking as "the sharpest possible translation of the character of the artist," and with this statement heralded an era of experimentation in etching, draftsmanship, and lithography.
This exhibition traces the legacy of Baudelaire's observation through a selection of rarely exhibited fine prints and master drawings from the museum's collection. Etchings by Impressionist painters show how the numerous applications of this largely untested medium achieved unforeseen (and often astonishing) ends at the hands of artists famously concerned with the temporal and the fleeting, while Post-Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist lithographs demonstrate how planographic techniques proved particularly appealing to artists seeking sharp linearity and chromatic precision. Prints and drawings associated with Symbolism will reveal how the intimacy of the sketch and the printed page yielded intensely private images that suggest emotional, psychological, and even spiritual states; as residual traces of first thoughts and nascent ideas, these works paved the way for Modernism in the visual arts.
Exhibition includes artwork by Cassatt, Cézanne, Degas, Gauguin, Manet, Pissarro, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Vuillard.

I put up a new portfolio site at moritz.stefaner.eu. Not really finished, but good enough. You might be especially interested in the Content Landscape documentation, as I have not written about this project before.
After lots of experiments with drupal, indexhibit and wordpress, I finally settled for the simple and elegant frog cms. Highly recommended, if you want to fill a custom layout with dynamic content in a very flexible manner.
The scent of information
I just came back from the great workshop "The Scent of Information" organized by the visualization gang from LBI Linz. (program + live-blog) Here are the slides from my talk. Basically, I was presenting Andrew vande Moere's and Andrea Lau's triangle model of information aesthetics, and showed mostly well-formed.eigenfactor and briefly some of my thesis work.
Imitate and informate
Some striking nature-inspired generative visualizations can be found over at Imitate and informate. From the site:
This is an experimental visualization project. We are inspired by nature or other real phenomena and try to transform formal aspects of it into data visualization systems.
Imitate and Informate is a project by Cedric Kiefer and Christopher Warnow. It emerged from a course called "Reality in Virtuality" at Potsdam University of Applied Sciences, Prof. Danijela Djokic.

Question 26 The enzyme which bonds new nitrogenous bases to those existing on the original DNA strand is called DNA polymerase. DNA amylase. DNA ligase. DNA helicase.
Question 27 Okazaki fragments are formed because
DNA polymerase can only create a new strand of DNA from the 5' end to the 3' end. DNA polymerase can only create a new strand of DNA from the 3' end to the 5' end. newly formed DNA tends to break apart easily into fragments. DNA helicase sometimes inadvertently breaks the DNA.
Question 28 One important difference between DNA replication in prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that prokaryotes do not use enzymes in the replication process there is only one replication origin in prokaryotes there are no Okazaki fragments in prokaryotes replication is conservative, not semiconservative, in prokaryotes
Question 29 Which of the following must happen first in order for DNA replication to occur? 1. DNA polymerase binds to the leading strand 2. DNA is unwound 3. Hydrogen bonds form between bases 4. Chromosomes condense

Yesterday, TorrentFreak took their stab at summing up the ongoing Pirate Bay trial, taking us on the two and a half week journey, from the second day dropping of half of the charges, to the King Kong defense.
Certainly, these folks are biased and claim a huge media victory for The Pirate Bay throughout the trial, but if you're new to this whole case, TorrentFreak provides what is probably the best summary I have seen thus far. It'll be over a month until we hear the verdict, so use this time to catch up! Innocent or guilty? Hit the comments.

I took the opportunity this weekend to go hiking on Antelope Island with my new hiking buddy Mike – he willingly accompanied me to Death Valley back in January. We have both agreed that we are sick and tired of snow. Winter needs to go on summer vacation. There is only so much snowshoeing and winter camping one can do before it becomes tiresome. We decided, therefore, to head out to Antelope Island for a nice hike along the Split Rock Trail.
I can declare that spring has in fact arrived on Antelope Island. Admittedly, the higher elevations still have snow, but the trail was dry and dusty and the birds were singing to each other and flitting through the brush. There are green shoots appearing among the brush as well. But I have lived in the Mountain West long enough to know that spring can easily be crushed under a foot or two of wet heavy snow – this usually occurs around Memorial Day.
Antelope Island really does mark a sort of geographical demarcation between the mountains to the east and the cold desert of the Great Basin for which this blog is named. It is therefore not surprising that its weather is different from the mountains immediately to the east. Extreme early spring or autumn and winter are the best seasons to hike on the island. In summer it can become incredibly hot and from April to June the biting flies are enough to drive any hiker absolutely insane. I imagine that this plague of flies is as bad as any found in the tropics. I have camped near mountain streams slowed by beaver dams and infested with mosquitoes and would surely march into the bog and be fed on by these creatures than spend one minute among the legendary biting sand flies of the Great Salt Lake. It is in fact surprising that I ever return to Antelope Island, because my first experience there six or seven years ago was during the fly infestation.
The island is at first glance rather bland and unspectacular. It does have the famed buffalo herd and of course antelope. I have also always seen one or two coyotes loping in the weeds as well. Perhaps because of the limited space on the island the coyotes are not as skittish as they tend to be in more expansive territory. It is also a grand spot for migratory birds and sedentary birds. We were annoyed on our hike by a pack of chukar who seemed to be trying to discover the most annoying tone ever made by any creature that lives or has lived on this planet – stunningly obnoxious birds. At least they don't bite like the aforementioned insects.
I realize that my detailing of the annoyances of this place are probably not going a long way toward selling it. And the fact that it has no attraction for a majestic vista or famous monument perhaps limits potential visitors (as does the $9 per car gate fee.) I do like Antelope Island as a spot of apparent desolation so close to Salt Lake City – a spot so different from the mountains directly to the east; a spot that marks the limit of mountain and Basin and Range. It really is the first range of that geologic macro-structure. Its beauty is more subtle and if I were a believer I would say that it is also the source of spring in this valley. It is a warm spot which blooms before others in the midst of the dead calm lake. It is therefore a refuge for those suffering from winter boredom.
A superficial view of this landscape would declare it boring and uninteresting, but a deeper understanding of its geographic placement informed by a keen look at its more subtle details provides satisfaction equal to any of the best hikes in the Salt Lake region. A hike here once again provides a reminder of the dynamic nature of the region we live in. The geology morphs very quickly. Relatively recent historical climatic processes combined with deep geology have made this a most interesting region to explore. It is a shame that the dominant human culture is as bland as a Kansas wheat field, but it does provide a sharp contrast to the landscape that it seems to largely ignore. And at least a Kansas wheat field provides material sustenance.

When I first moved into the neighbourhood, I noticed one of the local shopkeepers was always miserable. He would snap at you for no reason at all. I didn't like going in the shop when he was around. The main shopkeeper, his uncle, told me his nephew was always miserable. I decided to simply accept him and love him as he was. Gradually, he mellowed until one day he smiled at me. My mother has also remarked how pleasant he is now with her and everyone. That's Love for you.
Another neighbour, who is always helping others, always looked stressed. Every time I came out of the house she would be heading towards me. It was as if I was being waylaid or something. She always wanted to speak to me about her health issues, even though I hadn't told her I had a healing background. Obviously, a part of her did know. I would listen patiently and then wish her well. One day I travelled with her on the local bus. She was upset about running late for her appointment. I told her to stay calm and be at peace. A few days later, I saw her again and she thanked me for being there for her. She said she felt a lot calmer. We've been travelling a lot by bus and we've become friends. She always thanks me for being so peaceful. Interesting enough, she recently asked me if I was a nurse because she believes I look like one.
I believe each of us has the Work of Love to do right where we are. The Work of Love helps to awaken the Love in each of us. When you remember that your nature is Love you really start living as your true self. Then can you experience Heaven on Earth.
The Work of Love is quite simple: all it takes is to love who you are, and love who you are with. Who you are with can be as large as you're prepared to go. It could be as large as your family, your neighbourhood, your community, your town, your city, your country, the world, the universe...and beyond.
Here is one way I practise love. In the silence, I think "I love you" and feel the love radiating from me like waves. If it's for a specific individual I think "I love you, XXX." If it's for me, I think "I love you Enocia."
I do not concern myself about how Love is made manifest or how Love is activated, I simply trust in Love to be revealed and unfold for the highest good.
I love you all.

Hard to imagine a Prairie out there also.
Let me show you the diversity of Southern California. The focus of this blog will be Orange County but I will include other areas of Southern California. So check back daily and you will see things from the beach to the snow and see why people love Southern California. I usually post a current shot in the evening, but sometimes I will post some older shots. (If you have any photo suggestions let me know by commenting on the most recent photo.)

This author, i can't start to explain how well she writes. What I love about her writing is that its not overdone, and you can really relate to everything thats happening. You can even feel the same pressure that the characters feel, like you are zapped into the book and being portrayed as that character. Magnificent work. If you're not familiar with her work, you should start! You wont be disappointed.
It's been so long since Auden slept at night. Ever since her parents' divorce - or since the fighting started. Now she has the chance to spend a carefree summer with her dad and his new family in the charming beach town where they live.A job in a clothes boutique introduces Auden to the world of girls: their talk, their friendship, their crushes. She missed out on all that, too busy being the perfect daughter to her demanding mother. Then she meets Eli, an intriguing loner and a fellow insomniac who becomes her guide to the nocturnal world of the town. Together they embark on parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life she's been denied; for Eli, to come to terms with the guilt he feels for the death of a friend.

Bruce is still "AWOL", as they say.
Absent without Leave.
It has been more than a month now, (by one day) since the blind day walker fled the lobby and still Bruce has not yet returned.
The landlady seems to think he went to some or other parade and took a months leave.
– You know how those people are, she said.
No I do not. What people?
Party, party, party.
And then she laughed and closed her apartment door. I could still hear her snickering as she turned on the telly.
In Bruce's place, is a man who I take to be of African descent. We have not spoken as I fear he does not talk English, although I did hear him greet Mrs Mendlebaum with a quick "Good Afternoon" as she skittled in from Bingo.
The door to the basement remains locked, as "they" can't locate the key.
I find it odd: They can replace Bruce rather quickly, but the key to the basement remains unresolved.
I am thinking of employing a locksmith for assistance.

Hide Forgot
Description of Problem:
After a fresh (workstation) install of Skipjack-beta2, graphical login failed
(we didn't have a mouse configured :o) and left us at console login. After
trying to rerun X configuration from the setup menu, this crashed (will Bugzilla
this when I have more info) leaving console in non-echo mode. Typed "reset" to
restore sane terminal handling, only to find it reported interrupt as set to
Delete. Was expecting this to be ^C, as happens under normal circumstances on
my desktop system and has been the default for I don't know how long.
Can't reproduce this, reset certainly does the right thing here.
Did you change anything in your {termcap,terminfo,inputrc}?
Can you reproduce this on any other machine?
Yes, I can reproduce.
Normally it works fine. However if I run "setup" and try to configure X via
setup -> "X Configuration" (which fails due to the absence of a mouse) and then
quit, I'm left with the non-echoing console, and if I run "reset" at that point
it sets interrupt to delete. In fact it says:
Erase is delete.
Kill is control-U (^U).
Interrupt set to delete.
At this point I should have told the person at the console to try "stty sane"
So this may just point back to a problem with "setup" and/or Xconfigurator.
I do think "setup" should try harder to leave the console in a sane state. If a
new user is trying to get a system configured and they get stuck at a console
that's not echoing, and I tell them "type reset and hit return" I'm sort of
expecting them to get a working console back ...

After Dark: Warrior Series Book 2
Warrior Series, 2
Melanie P. Smith
This book can be downloaded and read in Apple Books on your Mac or iOS device.
AFTER DARK continues the saga of Alex and her friends. The conflict between the fae community and the local vampire coven not only continues, but has taken a surprising new turn. Ariel, the first fae in the community to actually meet Alex Deveraux, is trying to adjust to life in New York. She may appear strong and self-confident on the outside, but inside she is still struggling to deal with a serious trauma from the past. A trauma she wasn't able to deal with while living in New York. So, years ago, she moved to France to live with relatives. She's now back, determined to conquer her demons and live a normal happy life. She is thrilled that her new friend, Alex, has recently hooked up with her lifelong protector, Dimitri. Dimitri saved Ariel's life once, literally. She has loved and respected that warrior above all others for centuries. But since the night she met Alex, another warrior has occupied her thoughts. A dangerous, blonde hunk that seems to be avoiding her.
Victor is a loner. He always has been. His best friend, Tony, lives in Ireland and he hasn't spoken to him in years. Besides Tony, the warriors and his father are the only people he truly trusts. For him, women are taboo. It started with his crazy mother. Then, years later, his only real relationship failed. It ended with another woman betraying him. Since then, he's garnered a reputation as a wild ladies man. A man who uses and discards woman freely. So why can't he stop thinking about that sexy blonde with the long legs and knock out body? He might not be able to escape thoughts of Ariel, but he can avoid her in real life. And that is exactly what he intends to do. Unfortunately, Victor's plans are completely derailed when an unexpected crisis forces him to assist Ariel in her quest to help a new ally.

text: A friend gave Jonah a Highlights calendar for Christmas where each month has a picture filled with hidden objects. I love those types of things and was excited to work on it with him. In January, I sat down with him while Elisabeth was sleeping to see if he would find it interesting. I don't know if he just didn't get it or it was a bad time of day or what, but the couple of times I tried to engage him in the activity I failed miserably. So I just put the calendar in his sight line on the refrigerator, and, recently, he went over to study it and found something hidden in the picture. I guess the whole idea clicked with him then and he has been very into it ever since. We finished almost all the pictures up until April and he has already started on May. So today, I got the idea to search online for some free, printable hidden object sheets. If it's something he will sit down and work with me on, then I want to encourage it. The thing he most needs to work on is his fine motor skills and holding a writing implement (he will hardly use a fork). So I also printed off a couple of sheets where he traces objects and he really enjoyed that as well. So I guess I'm just encouraged because I feel like I have finally found a starting point to work with him on some things. Here are the links I found for some useful, FREE worksheets.

Most central location in Helsinki
With lift to the middle of services
Tripla's two 12-storey apartment buildings and almost 400 YIT Homes will offer their residents the best that a metropole can offer right in the middle of services, events and excellent transport connections.
The pre-marketing for the first home will begin by the end of the year 2017 and the construction will start in the Spring of 2018.
Tripla's residential block offers rental and privately-owned apartments right in the middle of the best services in Finland. The lovely residents' park, the inhabitants' shared village hall and rooftop terraces will help busy urban residents to unwind and enjoy spending time together.
Tripla is a unique place, and life at Tripla is lovely and green even though the bustling city is just a lift ride away. The location of the residential block slightly above the rest of the structure helps flood the apartments with natural light and makes for a peaceful setting. The windows on the highest floors offer spectacular views of Helsinki's Central Park.
The full-service shopping centre Mall of Tripla, with its wide range of shops and services, makes life at Tripla easy and enjoyable. Take the lift from your door to the grocery store or a café.
The vast selection of restaurants, entertainment and health and wellbeing services are only a few steps away and easily accessible, rain or shine. Catch a movie, head to a department store or meet friends in a bar in just a minute.
there and back with public transportation
Tripla offers outstanding connections no matter where you are going. Tripla is the hub for national and local railway traffic, trams and buses, pedestrian and bicycle traffic and possibly also the metro in the future.
The Pasila railway station will become Finland's busiest railway station, with all local and long-distance trains stopping there. The Ring Rail line will transport passengers from Pasila to Helsinki-Vantaa airport quickly and conveniently.
homes on your terms
At Tripla, special attention will be paid to the comfort of the inhabitants and the fluency of living. Flexible solutions allow major variation in terms of the types and sizes of the apartments. According to preliminary plans, apartment sizes can vary from 20 square-metre studios to family apartments of almost a hundred square metres.
A pleasant courtyard is a green oasis above the street level. The green roof on top, the common village hall, common saunas and rooftop terraces serve as unique meeting places for the residents in a pleasant setting.
The construction of Tripla relies on energy-efficient solutions, the latest technical systems and environmentally friendly durable materials. Tripla has been planned to be as functional as possible also from the point of view of pedestrians and cyclists: 3,400 bicycle parking places and some 340 electric vehicle charging points allow for environmentally friendly moving.
Tripla can be reached easily and safely through pedestrian and bicycle paths. There are also important national and regional bicycle routes that pass through Pasila.

Red, Black and Ignorant and There Will Be More, Cock Tavern Theatre
Red, Black and Ignorant is the first play of Bond's enormous War Plays trilogy, first produced by the RSC in 1985 to critical displeasure but rather more successful in Alain Françon's Avignon Festival production of 1995. RB&I presents us with a charred male protagonist, named simply as Monster, who presents scenes of the life he didn't get to live (because of a nuclear war). A series of sketches illustrate the ways in which institutions – school, marriage, capitalism, the army – install an ideology into those within them which erodes and degrades their humanity. The final irony of the piece is that, even without the nuclear war, the Monster finds himself killed by a force within his own nuclear family.
Red, Black and Ignorant, with its short playlet-like scenes, reminds me of both Brecht (notably Fear and Misery in the Third Reich), the agit-prop drama of the 1970s (an era recounted brilliantly in Catherine Itzen's indispensable book Stages in the Revolution) and, at times, the absurdity of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Bond isn't coy about the idea that the society he portrays ideologically brutalizes its inhabitants and forces them into situations in which the only choice is Hobson's. The play feels to me quite bitty and not altogether achieved but that doesn't strike me as a reason not to perform or see it – it looks forwards, as a set of notes and ideas for development, to both the second and third of the War Plays trilogy and, beyond that, to themes that haunt the last quarter century of his work. A production of it is the theatrical equivalent to those exhibitions which show the sketches and drawings of a major artist which went towards the development of more complete and achieved masterpieces; I was at times reminded of Goya's Distasters of War. That said, the final scene of Red, Black and Ignorant – in which a boy soldier (Bond was writing about this phenomena long before the children dragged into wars in such countries as Sierra Leone and Uganda became a fashionable subject for bleeding heart liberals to kvetch about) faces with an appalling decision as to whether to kill a member of his own family or a neighbour - is one of the greatest scenes of Bond's career. The place of decision is a crossroads (the same ones at which Laius was murdered by Oedipus, no doubt) and here the play stakes its claim to a dramatic lineage old as theatre itself.
Red, Black and Ignorant is also an essential document of its 1980s time, when the Greenham common anti-nuclear protests were at their height, the miners were being brutalized and Thatcherism was setting in motion a new kind of society in the UK, in which market values mattered more than people and sub-classes were deliberately created in order that those out of work were made to feel their own situation as a social crime against order (the Coalition's policies since election have simply been a reiteration of what was hammered into being then). I was involved in the anti-nuclear and Stop the City protests at the time, along with many others on what might loosely be called the anarcho-punk scene. Watching Red, Black and Ignorant, I was struck by how close Bond's worldview was to his contemporaries in such bands as Crass and Conflict; the lyrics to the song Bond's soldier sings as he is being dressed for war might have sat comfortably on the seminal Let the Tribe Increase album by The Mob.
A even less obvious comparison with Bond might be between the poetic language and striking, apocalyptic imagery which he puts in the mouths of his actors and the flashing images of the 19th century poet savant Rimbaud and his 20th century follower Bob Dylan – at times, Bond's words would fit happily in a song like A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall or an album like Highway 61 Revisited. I make this comparison to emphasise that Bond is not some lone voice at odds with the culture of his time but very much a part of a movement in literature, music and other arts which flourished in the 1960s and developed into the scenes of the early 80s and beyond.
As a gesture of solidarity with the season, Bond contributes a new play, There Will be More, produced in repertory with RB&I but with different actors and director. Anyone who expected Bond to have matured and calmed down by his mid-70s (anyone who doesn't know his work very well, that is) would surely be appalled by the feast of horror that is There Will Be More and boy were some of the knee-jerkers who review for the broadsheets bemused, angry and dismissive by turn of the new play.
It is easy to spot the Greek lineage of There Will Be More. In the first scene, an army officer's wife murders his twin sons (one is so flinch-conditioned by Bond's reputation that the sight of a baby on stage immediately makes on fear for the worst) and is raped in return by her raging husband; we are in Medea territory, clearly. This first scene – 20 minutes of odd social comedy mixed (like blood and tonic) with extreme violence – seems to be an odd take on the upper class social comedies of Rattigan or Coward (Hands Around the Throat rather than Hands Across the Sea). After this (and a provocatively placed interval), we shudder forwards 18 years to when the wife escapes from the lunatic asylum she has been banished to in order to confront both her husband (whose careerism was somewhat hampered by her act) and one of the twin sons born of the rape (the other is fighting in an Orwellian constant war somewhere). The three characters then set about recriminating and destroying one another in scenes which reminded me of Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home sleeve note – "…divided by pierced ears. false eyelashes/subtracted by people constantly torturing each other…"
I've made the Dylan comparison twice now in this blog as I believe that we might gain something from comparing what both artists have been doing in the last few decades of their careers. Both have taken stock of a rather frustrated 1980s and then re-consolidated their voices by going back to the roots of what they are doing – Dylan in old blues and folk songs, Bond in the plays of the Greeks and Shakespeare.
There Will Be More re-imagines elements of Euripides (and Sophocles) into a vision of a contemporary family destroying itself from within. Johnson, Bond's Jason in There Will Be More, is so fixated on his own career in the services and desire for his wife as sexual object that he has no tools with which to understand their situation, resorting to the only tool he knows how to use and wielding it in what used to be sickly and euphemistically referred to as "assault with a friendly weapon" (we might compare the militaristic term "friendly fire"). His mad wife Dea, Bond's Medea, has no insight into why she committed her double filicide and simply blames it on her husband ("you wanted me to" she accuses). If any people ever were lost in a cloud of unknowing, it is this pair.
At the beginning of scene two, she has returned to the family home (rather like zombies or unquiet ghosts in the horror genre return to the places they once inhabited after their deaths), seemingly hoping to settle into the old routine; astonishingly, Johnson is willing to let her as long as his conjugal rights are upheld. Johnson seems to have an absolutely authentic though blind and desperate desire for his wife, a desire which she sets her will against him achieving. Their marriage is like that of two people butting heads, neither of whom ever gets any sense knocked into them. Pity their son Oliver, confined to the house and judged wanting next to his absent, warrior twin: his father wishes to withhold the truth of his mother's identity in order to protect him, his mother wishes to rip his illusions rudely away. More violence follows as well as a strange, appalling, moving and very murky seduction of the son by the mother in which the sleepwalking off-spring is fellated by his Mum in a strange, Oedipal twist. It is notable here that it is the mother that kills the father, as if the Oedipus complex was a set-up designed to indoctrinate the child with guilt. The mother is devouring and the father is controlling – the terrible parents of primal myth lour over the household; it is no wonder that the child, like so many of our youth, clings steadfastly onto a blade he carries with him. In one way, the play can be seen as a reflection on the problem of youth knife crime; it is this but also so much more – no more rational a work than Goya's mighty painting Saturn Devours his Children, which looking back was an entirely justified response to the violence the artist saw around him but which also has a timeless quality.
Euripides, Goya, Shakespeare, Dylan – these are some of the names that flash through my mind when encountering a Bond play; There Will Be More is no less complex and knotty a work of art than any of these at their best. This is not to say that the work is meaningless or merely surreal – but the discomforting and destabilising affect of the play is more to the point than any moral lesson we might attempt to garner from it. One could say that it would be a tiresome fool who came to us suggesting that it might be a better world if it did not involve adults destroying each other and their children for their own psycho-sexual power-game gratifications. Yes, surely we all believe that it would be. "Why then," Bond's plays with a child-like impertinence ask, "is it not that better place?" Unless we confront the most terrible mirrors showing us of the times we live in and how things all too often are, only one thing is certain: there will indeed be more.

I really enjoyed reading your intelligent, informative and well informed piece on 'Red Black and Ignorant' and 'There Will Be More'. As a cast member it has been extremely satisfying working with Bond on one of his plays but some of the reviews have left me wondering if he is an actor's writer and that perhaps his work has too many layers for your average audience to really connect with or understand - in RBI one reviewer didn't understand who the Monster was for half the play despite his own introduction and his explanation of what the play is about. I realise you are a director and so not a typical audience member but it was refreshing to read your comparisons with Dylan,Crass,The Mob and Goya. I too was a child of the 80's perhaps that is why I enjoy Bond's work so much and can see the relevance in it today. I look forward to future blogs.ReplyDelete
Many thanks for your comment. I have personally been quite depressed by the quality of the reviewing of the season by the mainstream critics, although their lack of insight and empathy with Bond's work should have come as little surprise to anyone. I imagine that most audiences got more than those individuals from attending the plays...

Welcome back!
Again, I apologize for my absence this past week, but I really appreciate you being so understanding of the delicate situation I was in.
I'm not going to go into great detail about the trial or risk sensationalizing anything by putting my own emotional spin on what happened over the past 6 days, so if you're itching to know the case and what it entailed, I'll tell you this—it's easily searchable on the internet.
So yes, to answer the one question I've been asked repeatedly, it was a murder trial.
I didn't know that going into the courthouse last Monday. All I knew is that I was sardined into a tiny courtroom with about 65 other people who were ticked off and making it very obvious how inconvenienced they were. While we waited patiently for the selection process to begin, I caught bits and pieces of the same conversation taking place in almost every corner of the room: "What do I have to say to get out of here?"
I can't explain how or why I knew, but I had absolutely zero doubt in my mind that I was going to be one of the 12 jurors selected. You know how sometimes you just get that feeling like you already know what's going to happen, like a premonition? Well, I had that feeling so strongly that I pulled out my copy of The Hobbit and made myself comfortable. I knew I was going to have to ride this thing out.
Why God wanted me on that jury panel, I might never know. But it happened.
We didn't know that it was a murder trial until close to the end of the selection process. When I heard the word "murder", a knot twisted in my gut and remained firmly in place until we delivered our final verdict to the judge. I unfortunately had very little trouble digesting killing and violence in my movie and television choices previously, but I was completely unprepared for what impact a similar "real life" situation would have on my heart and soul.
I'm afraid to comment on what myself and the other 13 jurors went through (there were 2 alternate jurors who had to be there in case one of us got sick or fled the country. Ha!) because I don't want to come across as melodramatic or clichéd. Me, the writer, is having an immensely difficult time trying to articulate what the experience was like and how it has changed me.
Because let's face it, being a juror on this case did change me. I just can't put into words how exactly. I need more time to process what happened and more time to fully understand the breadth of deciding whether or not another human being is guilty of murder.
So many of my friends said they were jealous of my stint as a juror and wished that they could be in my shoes. I wasn't sure how to react to their statements. Yes, I did get a first-class education on our judicial system and yes, I did have a brief moment of "Oh my gosh! Just like Law and Order!" the first time I heard an attorney yell "Objection, Your Honor!", but passing judgement on my fellow man isn't exactly "fun".
The truth of the matter is that I was privy to things I will never be able to unsee or unhear for as long as I live. There are images and descriptions that are forever burned into my memory in such a way that they pop into my consciousness when I least expect it. Every single person in that courtroom wanted desperately to find the truth, and it unfortunately matters very little what repercussions that search will have on everyone involved.
(P.S.: My deodorant failed me many, many times throughout the course of this past week. What makes me sweaty? EVERYTHING.)
Looking for justice or not, having a picture of your death blown up on a teleprompter or passed around a courtroom in glossy photographed-detail is not dignified. It's hard to remain stony-faced and unmoved by what you're seeing because I don't care who's side you're on or who you believe did it, the fact remains: someone was murdered and sadness and anger are genuine, natural human emotions.
We were put on this particular jury because both the defense and the prosecution believed that each and every one of us could be unbiased, honest jurors who could find the truth amongst manipulation, speculation, and sensationalism. We were expected to believe that the defendant was innocent until proven guilty without any reasonable doubt. We were trusted to weigh all of the facts and come to a unanimous conclusion.
And that's exactly what we did.
One bright spot I can draw attention to is the fact that this experience definitely reassured me of the health of our justice system.
So to answer the linger question of "how was it" ... I don't know. I really don't.
I was back at work for less than two hours today before I got my first email from a "concerned friend" looking to feed some morbid curiosity by asking for gritty details. I'm sorry, but I won't entertain those inquiries. Chances are, I won't answer any personal questions pertaining to the case because it's just not necessary to discuss. You can read about it for yourselves. It was a public trial, you could have attended. I'm very thankful to everyone in advance for respecting the situation for what it is.
I have every intention of getting back into the swing of things blogwise and falling back into my old routine this week. I gotta admit, coming back to work today was trippy, to say the least. I almost forgot how to do my job. I was only gone from the office for 6 work days, but I was so emotionally overloaded during the trial that I considered taking a personal day to decompress and get my wits about me again.
But I'm here.
And you're here.
And that's all I care about.

Tucked away just one street behind the Royal Opera House, Sagar is wonderful for people watching — there is a busy theatre across the road — and if you can get a window spot, count yourself lucky. Sagar is very popular. We visited the Covent Garden branch of Sagar but they have also set up shop in Hammersmith, the West End and Harrow.

Jeremy Hunt apologises to NHS patients after thousands of operations are delayed
Jeremy Hunt has apologised to patients whose operations have been delayed, as the NHS struggles to cope with winter demand.
Hospitals in England have been ordered to delay thousands of operations with pre-planned procedures and outpatient appointments postponed until 31 January.
According to Sky News the Health Secretary has apologised to those affected, saying the situation is "absolutely not what I want".
But he added that it would allow hospitals to take a "a planned, methodical, thoughtful" approach to dealing with the winter crisis.
Theresa May called the move "disappointing" and "frustrating" but said that the "NHS has been better prepared for this winter than ever before".
"We will ensure that those operations are put back as soon as possible and once again I say that NHS staff are doing a fantastic job," she added.
This comes after the Conservative chair of the influential Health Select Committee urged the Prime Minister and the Chancellor to "get a grip" on the pressures facing the NHS.
Sarah Wollaston, who has practised as a GP herself, told the Today programme: "The point is if you have a very major increase in people who are living longer with complex conditions that produces particular demands on the health system.
"That I think they need to get a better grip on, to understand the sheer scale of the increase in demand across health and social care."
NHS England announced yesterday it was extending the delay for non-urgent inpatient care to free up capacity for more urgent patients. The procedures affected include operations such as hip and knee replacements.
Tens of thousands of operations and appointments will be affected, although cancer operations and other more pressing procedures will still go ahead.
Earlier Labour blasted Mrs May's "meaningless and hollow" reassurances about the state of the health service while the Lib Dems said the Tories had been "distracted" by infighting.
Shadow Health Secretary Jon Ashworth said: "Tory underfunding and cuts have left our health service more vulnerable than ever before.
"Jeremy Hunt must urgently tell us how many elective operations he expects to be cancelled and how many more people will be waiting longer in pain and anguish because their scheduled operation has had to be cancelled."
Lib Dem health spokesperson Baroness Judith Jolly said the Tories "knew winter was coming but have been so distracted by their own internal problems that they have failed both the NHS and the care services."

Fireman Sam can breathe a sigh of relief, as the show won't be investigated by Ofcom for a scene in which the kids' TV favourite appeared to stamp on a page of the Koran.
The Channel 5 show quickly apologised "unreservedly" for the scene after outrage on social media, promising to remove the episode from circulation and adding: "We deeply regret this error."
But although Ofcom received 170 complaints about the episode on the grounds of religious discrimination or offence, it's decided not to pursue an investigation.
Speaking to Digital Spy, an Ofcom spokesperson explained that the team looked at the footage frame by frame in the highest possible resolution and found that while some text did appear to be Arabic, the contents couldn't be deciphered.
And the rep also pointed out that when Fireman Sam initially trampled on pages, the paper was actually blank.
"We received a number of complaints about a character appearing to trip on a piece of paper that might have contained text from the Qur'an," Ofcom said. "After careful assessment, we won't be investigating.
"We studied a recording of the programme in the highest possible resolution. We found that the page did appear to contain Arabic text, but its contents could not have been deciphered, nor recognised as being from a given text."
The Fireman Sam episode, 'Troubled Waters', gained widespread attention when it was repeated on June 28 this year – but actually first aired on May 17, 2014.
Among viewers who flagged up the instalment online were film producer and actor Sajid Varda and assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, Miqdaad Versi, who said: "Have no idea what went through the producers' minds when they thought this was a good idea."
And while only 170 messages were received by Ofcom, over 1,000 people called up the BBC to complain – even though the episode actually aired on Channel 5.

Chicken Parmesan
Pan-seared, breaded chicken parmesan topped with mozzarella cheese, finished in the oven and topped with fresh basil, served over your choice of pasta with easy homemade marinara sauce.
So confession – I love Italian food, especially anything with pasta. I could eat a different Italian meal every day. But my husband on the other hand is more of meat and potatoes or Mexican food kind of guy. And my kids are an entirely different story. My daughter is like me, she loves pasta. Every year for her birthday she requests pesto on fettuccine noodles with green beans. My son, Liam, could always go for a good cheeseburger but if it's chicken that's on the menu his request is the Asian style orange chicken. That is until I recently made chicken parmesan. Liam said the chicken was his favorite right alongside orange chicken, he couldn't choose. Now that's something a mom likes to hear.
Funny thing, when I was a kid it was never my favorite Italian dish. I preferred good old fashioned spaghetti and meatballs. But when I was first married I asked my mom how she made chicken parmesan cause I figured my meat and potatoes husband would prefer it over let's say pasta primavera. And boy was I right. He loved it, and now my kids do as well. It makes me so happy when everyone in my family enjoys their dinner. So much better than begging your child to try just one Brussels sprout.
So I decided a long time ago that if I make a variety of foods everyone will be happy. Plus, it's fun to mix things up. The great thing about chicken parmesan is — the pasta lovers still get a side of spaghetti with marinara, and the meat lovers get a tasty breaded chicken breast topped with marinara sauce and cheese. Who would say no to that?
I've made this dish dozens of times and I have to say while some things are always the same, I tend to mix up the bread crumbs depending on what I have on hand. For this recipe I used panko bread crumbs seasoned with salt and pepper and fresh parmesan cheese. It's simple and not overpowering to the dish. Sometimes I'll add more seasonings like basil or Italian seasoning. I've even made my own breadcrumbs if I didn't have any on hand or I've used smashed croutons. But one thing is for certain, always dip your chicken in flour first. No matter what type of breading you choose, it's essential to dip each chicken breast in flour, then egg, that way everything sticks nice and evenly to the meat.
I also pan sear the chicken in a skillet with olive oil before finishing it off in the oven as opposed to frying it. This way the dish is a little healthier. And I top it with my homemade Easy Marinara Sauce. A simple sauce is perfect for this dish so it doesn't overwhelm the chicken.
I usually serve chicken parmesan alongside spaghetti noodles topped with marinara sauce, but if you prefer you could have a side of pasta with pesto or Alfredo.
|Prep Time
|10 minutes
|Cook Time
|30 minutes
- 6 chicken breasts small or 3 cut in half lengthwise
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 2 large eggs beaten with 2 tbsp water and seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1 cup flour seasoned with salt and pepper
- 2 cups Marinara sauce (use my Easy Marinara Sauce Recipe)
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese grated
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh basil for serving
- Clean chicken and place on a cutting board between two sheets or plastic wrap and pound chicken with kitchen mallet to flatten to even thickness. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Place flour, eggs and breadcrumbs each in their own shallow bowl.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. And preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Dip chicken breast in flour, then eggs and finally breadcrumbs.
- Cook for about 2 minutes per side. Each side should be golden brown. Repeat with each chicken breast. Add chicken to a large baking dish after browned.
- After browning all the chicken, top each with about 1/3 cup of marinara sauce. Then add a little grated mozzarella and fresh parmesan cheeses.
- Bake until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted, about 15-20 minutes. If the cheese starts to brown too much, cover with foil.
- Serve with a side of pasta topped with marinara sauce and garnish with fresh basil ribbons.
If you use my Easy Marinara Sauce recipe, double it so you have plenty for the chicken and pasta.

Wycombe Wanderers 2-1 Grimsby Town
Second half goals from Adam El Abd and Scott Kashket overturned a half time deficit to crucially defeat the Mariners at Adams Park and cement Wycombe's place in the top three of League Two with a vital 2-1 home win on Easter Monday.
Gareth Ainsworth made four changes from the side that drew 0-0 at Notts County with Michael Harriman replacing Tarafi Moore at right back and Dom Gape returning to midfield in place of Matt Bloomfield who picked up a broken nose in Nottinghamshire. The more surprising changes came up front as Randell Williams and Scott Kashket earned their first starts of the season, replacing Nathan Tyson and Craig Mackail-Smith.
It was a risk Ainsworth might have been rueing after just 15 minutes as the Mariners took the lead.
After Williams had hit one over the bar, and couldn't quite turn home a hooked Kashket cross soon after, the opener arrived for Grimsby at the other end totally against the run of play.
It was a counter attack where Harriman, looking ring rusty to say the least at right back, failed to track Martyn Woolford closely enough, the ball was slipped through to the Town midfielder and after Harriman only managed to get a toe on the ball the left winger took advantage, racing forward and slotting the ball through the legs of Scott Brown to give Town a priceless lead after just 15 minutes.
This was just what you didn't want to give a side that had not won in 19 games – hope, and something to cling on to.
It was an uncharacteristically poor half from Harriman, who was beaten in most aerial challenges and was targeted by Grimsby throughout.
What followed was a siege on the visitors' goal that Grimsby managed to survive until the interval, leaving the home fans frustrated.
Akinfenwa had a shot deflected for a corner, Williams had a header comfortably saved and another shot beaten away by McKeown, Kashket had a header ruled out for offside as he flicked home an Akinfenwa header, Jombati wasted a free kick with a weak effort and closest of all, an almighty set piece scramble was somehow hooked away by a desperate Grimsby defence.
It was smash and grab but Grimsby held a priceless lead going into the break, with the Chairboys knowing this was a game they needed to turn around and fast.
The second half started fairly quietly before exploding into life after O'Nien and Fox were both yellow carded following a touchline scuffle by referee Chris Sarginson, another official that either fell short of seeing Akinfenwa's shirt being wrestled away from him throughout the opening period, or chose to ignore it.
Neatly 5,000 Wanderers fans turned up today and were still getting right behind their team, but they must have thought it was one of those days when a Harriman cross was bulleted onto the crossbar and away to safety by the head of Akinfenwa after 57 minutes.
Grimsby then replaced striker Scott Vernon, who had ploughed a lonely furrow, with Jamille Matt. Straight after there was another booking, this time for James Berrett following a nasty late challenge on O`Nien with an hour played.
The resulting free kick was hoisted into the box by Jacobson and after a defender half cleared under pressure from Akinfenwa, captain Adam El Abd anticipated the bounce of the ball and rifled home the rebound for his first Wycombe goal to a huge roar of relief from the home fans.
Wycombe wanted more though and they were immediately back on the front foot with Akinfenwa testing McKeown with a drive from the edge of the box. The pressure was almost relentless and it paid off after 67 minutes as Kashket turned the game around from another set piece.
It is no coincidence that Grimsby have the worst set piece record in the division and after El Abd flicked on a corner Kashket was all alone at the far post to prod home from a couple of yards to another eruption of noise from the Adams Park faithful.
Scenting blood, the Chairboys were again pushing forwards soon after but Williams was adjudged to have dived in the box after a mazy run and was cautioned for simulation by Sarginson.
Following that, Grimsby made a double change, bringing on Gary McSheffrey and JJ Hooper for Berrett and Hall-Johnson. Ainsworth then showed his hand for the first time as Tyson replaced Kashket, with Williams moving to the right wing.
The substitutions seemed to take the sting out of the game, Wycombe dropped a little deeper and should have been made to pay after 74 minutes when McSheffrey flicked on a cross and Rose pulled his shot wide at the far post when he should have at least hit the target.
Wycombe are always a goalscoring danger this season though, and from there on in had the bulk of the chances to see off the game but they couldn't quite take one.
After 76 minutes Tyson's pace saw him reach the byline and cross agonisingly across the six yard box with no takers in a blue shirt.
Williams was substituted for Nick Freeman with five minutes left and received a well deserved ovation from the home faithful after an impressive debut.
A slip at the back from Grimsby then gave O'Nien a clear sight of goal but McKeown saved his shot and the goalkeeper did exceptionally well to get up and react quickly to Akinfenwa`s effort on the rebound.
Despite a few nervy set piece moments at the other end, Grimsby could'`t fashion a clear chance and Tyson nearly added a third in stoppage time after a desperate clearance but his shot flashed agonisingly wide across the face of goal.
Wycombe won't care though – after this crucial and deserved win they are now five points clear of fourth place with a superior goal difference to Exeter who do have one game in hand.
Ratings: Brown (6), Harriman (5), El Abd (8*), Jombati (6), Jacobson (7), O'Nien (7), Gape (8), Bean (6), Williams (8) (Freeman 85′ N/A), Akinfenwa (7), Kashket (7) (Tyson 71′ N/A)
