After two days of mediocre performances the No. 62 ETSU men’s tennis team improved dramatically winning seven out of 10 matches Monday afternoon during final day action of the 2010 Duke Invitational inside the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center. “Obviously we played a lot better today,” said head coach Yaser Zaatini . “One thing that our guys do is not quit. They are a tough group of players that have an extremely good work ethic. We know from this point on that we still have a very tough schedule. Even after this long weekend our guys are ready to take the momentum they built this afternoon and enthusiastically get after it these next couple of days in practice.” After only six total victories the first two days Zaatini’s Bucs came out strong against No. 70 Elon taking two out of the three doubles contests. ETSU was again led by the team of sophomore Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium), and freshman Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela), who stayed unbeaten this season with 8-4 win over the Phoenix’s Alberto Rojas and Eric Turner. The No. 52-ranked Buccaneer duo earned four points for their decision, which gave the pair a total of 10 points over the three-day round robin tournament. Elon’s Philip Nemec and Chase Helpingstine also posted 10 points at the Invitational; however Gille and Bandres earned the top spot after being the only doubles team to go 3-0. “Both Sander and Jesus had really great chemistry together this weekend,” said Zaatini. “No matter how we end up matching our players up during dual matches, I know both these underclassmen will bring something to the table that makes their partners better. Our goal is to create tandems that can feed off each other during a match and Sander and Jesus was a great example of this at Duke.” Senior Daniel Isaza (Medellin, Colombia), and sophomore Robin Akser (Ornskoldsvik, Sweden), added to the ETSU tally with their first doubles win of the spring. The two ETSU players earned three points with a convincing 8-1 victory over Elon’s Clark Howell and Thomas Darling. After their progress in doubles play the Bucs continued to gain momentum as singles competition began. Playing in the number one position No. 82 junior Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia), earned his first win of the season with a 6-4, 6-3 straight set victory over Elon’s Chase Helpingstine, while Bandres – who is ranked No. 51 nationally – closed out a long three-set contest to Philip Nemec, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. Fellow freshman Juan Ramierz (Asuncion, Paraguay), picked up his second win in as many days, with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 triumph over the Phoenix’s Eric Turner. After being award eight points for his win, the first-year Buc closed out the event with a team-best 13 points, which was good enough for seventh place. Closing out the scores for ETSU was Isaza and sophomore Jeremy Bonnevalle (Keerbergen, Belgium). Isaza dropped Thomas Darling 6-4, 6-4, while Bonnevalle matched the ETSU captain with an identical score (6-4, 6-4) over Rojas. With the Duke Invitational now in the books the nationally ranked Bucs return to action Thursday at No. 20 Louisville .

Potatoes are a staple in many houses, especially those who are descended from family in England, Ireland and Scotland. These tasty potatoes are a simple and fun way to serve up a dish that can often be boring. The citrus notes from the lemon pair beautifully with the smoke from the grill and the starchiness of the potatoes. The rosemary adds that final note that makes this dish so delish. Try these with your next meal. METHOD Happy Grilling!
If corporations conduct their business in a sustainable manner, they can be an effective driving force for better education, equality and prosperity in developing nations. Furthermore, Human Rights and Social Compliance is good business and stakeholders will reward good behavior and good companies. On the other hand however, if they do this poorly, corporations can cause discrimination, degrade the environment and exploit vulnerable groups, which in turn will see stakeholders punish such companies. The aim of linking business operations with Human Rights and Social Compliance is to enable corporations to ensure the protection and promotion of human rights in sustainable economic development and highlight the fact that compliance will have a direct effect on the company's bottom line and profitability. Today, 20 October 2010, Mazars, an international, integrated and independent organization, specializing in audit, accounting, tax, legal and advisory services is conducting a Seminar on “Doing Business Sustainably: Human Rights Compliance” in Jakarta. The seminar is being attended by Dr. Homayoun Alizadeh, the Regional Representative for South-East Asia Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Bernd Sagasser, legal partner of Marccus Partners, Letjen Agus Widjojo, Chairman of National Institute for Democratic Governance and former Deputy Speaker of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR), representing The Military and National Police Faction, Nur Kholis, Deputy Chairman – External Relations - Indonesian National Commission on Human Rights/ KOMNAS HAM, and Marzuki Darusman, Director of the Human Rights Research Center for ASEAN (HRRCA). James Kallman, President Director of Mazars in Indonesia and moderator of the seminar said: “In recent years, we have seen a growing understanding among companies that recognizing human rights risks in their local operating environments is one of the most important steps in ensuring company compliance, good practices and, as a result, doing business sustainably. This has a direct effect on Corporate bottom lines and profitability. Our clients care about Human Rights and Social Compliance and so does Mazars, deeply." Human Rights and Social compliance is a powerful strategy for conducting business in a sustainable manner, legitimizing a business or becoming a social license for a company to operate. However, business must also realize the complexity of performing human rights due diligence as part of its sustainable commitment. Bernd Sagasser, legal partner at Marccus Partners, a law firm and a member of Group Mazars said: “Business operations are subject to several laws, either locally or internationally. The challenges for business are: How to recognize which human rights law falls under which Human Rights treaty as the company's legal obligation. Which laws are in close harmony with the corporate objective and the ability of the company to fulfill them.” The other aspect addressed at the seminar is the need to clearly establish the line of the obligation of the state and corporations. Recently, both states and corporations have been placed under intensive pressure on this issue. The blurred line of the obligation is due to many other demands that come into play, such as the state’s need for investment, job creation, access to markets, technology and skills, and the limited ability of the state to fulfill these demands.
Elgin School District U46 Jose Torres wrangled a crocodile. Elgin Community College President David Sam wore graduation robes. Elgin Mayor Dave Kaptain is pictured in a life-size cardboard standup holding a bag of trash. “I think I know where I fit in,” Kaptain joked. All three, along with Burlington Central Community Unit School District 301 Superintendent Todd Stirn, unveiled the standups, each holding a favorite book, as part of their challenge to the entire community to read a record-breaking 100,000 hours this summer. Starting May 15, Elgin residents are encouraged to track and submit the hours they spend reading this summer on the Gail Borden Public Library website, according to library public relations and development chief Denise Raleigh. “Adults need to set an example to our youngsters that reading is important, fun and entertaining. By getting adults excited about the reading challenge, we hope that students will follow their lead and become avid readers themselves,” Raleigh said. For more information, visit gaiilborden.info. Article Extras Updated: June 6, 2013 6:51AM ELGIN — It’s often said it takes a village to raise a child, School District U46 Superintendent Jose Torres said. But in the second-largest school district in Illinois, Torres said, it takes 11. And in Elgin alone, that takes the city and its public and private schools and businesses and nonprofits. About 175 representatives of all those groups attended the first Mayor’s Education Summit Friday morning at The Centre of Elgin, a parnership between the city, U46, Burlington Central Community Unit School District 301 and Elgin Community College. That’s the largest community conversation the city has had, according to Mayor Dave Kaptain. And that’s because, he said, “It’s an important topic to talk about.” “You’re all here because you understand that education doesn’t just happen in schools, that learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom,” Kaptain said. The summit comes as the Elgin City Council identified education as one of the nine goals of the strategic plan it adopted in 2012. And that’s not because the superintendents of U[[phy_address]] 301 need help running their districts, the mayor clarified, but because he felt “a responsibility to help rally all of our community partners around this most basic issue because it affects everyone of us in one way or another.” “A well-educated community can attract employers who provide higher paying jobs, which in turn makes our residents more financially stable. This also leads to more stable neighborhoods, lower crime rates and less dependence on social services,” he said. Guest speaker Laurie Preece of Alignment Rockford talked about her city’s similar focus on education over the past three years. There, Preece said, the city has decided its public schools know best how to educate children and is “very subservient to the strategies the schools have created.” And it’s realized “the work is generational, so in 20 years, we will love our public schools.” “Ten years from now, we’ll see evidence of the work that we began three years ago, and in about two or three years, we anticipate beginning to see some early indicators of that change,” she said. Torres said community partnerships also can help schools “embrace the whole child.” Education partners The largest breakout session, about learning outside the classroom, brought together about two dozen representatives of the Elgin Public Museum, the Elgin History Museum, the League of United Latin American Citizens, Comcast, Sam’s Club and more to discuss ways they can partner to improve education. Facilitator Terri DeDecker said during the session she’s been in U46 for 20 years, and she never had heard of many of those groups. Those representatives also discussed obstacles to partnerships, including communication about what’s available, transportation, language barriers and connections with private schools and parents. Kaptain had asked participants to discuss the idea of turning the former Fox River Country Day School into an environmental education site, maybe a camp similar to Camp Edward in Wisconsin, as well. More than a dozen organizations expressed support for the idea, including U46, he said afterward. Other discussions included college and career readiness, school safety, stressing the importance of reading and preparing children to start kindergarten. Torres said he thought that was “great start.” But, he said, “The work is not done just because we had a meeting, right? I really will challenge all of us to take the next step, whatever that may be.” The school district superintendents, community college president and city officials will meet again soon, Kaptain said. And there seemed to be a lot of interest in further partnerships from the community, he said.
I watched the first season? Frank Darabont cannot catch a break on the small screen. Anthony Jeselnik says Comedy Central has canceled The Jeselnik Offensive. Wow, huge bummer. I thought it was a solid companion for Tosh. This is probably for the best as the show felt stretched creatively this season (there are only so many dog jokes you can make) and they’ll now have the opportunity to give it a proper ending. I will miss its inexplicable weirdness though. HBO has confirmed that the upcoming seventh season, set to bow in 2014, will be the show’s last. Sad news. Time to update your “brilliant but canceled” lists. Hello. As some of you may already know, yesterday MTV decided to not renew “Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous” for a second season. AKA, they canceled it. The three remaining episodes will air this week—the tenth episode will air TONIGHT at 11pm and the final two will air this SATURDAY, back-to-back, also at 11 pm. The cancellation adds a nice bit of poetry to the arc of the final episodes, as Zach finds himself running out of money and possibly losing his beloved cameras (and show) forever. Though my initial reaction yesterday was disappointment, that feeling was fleeting and soon gave way to thankfulness—thankfulness for being able to have made 12 episodes of television in the first place and a greater thankfulness for having had the opportunity to share them with you. Your response has been amazing and so appreciated. I don’t have much interest in going into why I think the show didn’t get as many viewers as we would’ve hoped (promotion, re-runs, wouldacouldashoulda). I do, however, want to emphasize what, in my opinion, is NOT a reason for the show’s lack of viewership. I don’t think MTV’s audience is dumb. I don’t think young people in general are dumb or stupid or shallow. I love my generation. I really do. I believe that the “internet generation” (or “cyber generation” if you want to sound even lamer) is very misunderstood and underestimated. What many older people dismiss as my generation’s short attention spans, I see as young people hunger for density, demanding that every second of material that you give them is worthy of their time. This challenge, though daunting, is a good thing. It pushes art forward. I believe that young people deserve smart and thoughtful material. I hope that we made a show that challenges and respects the sensibilities of young people—and by that virtue, can also be enjoyed by people much older than the typical MTV-er (which I think is me, actually—and also my mom loved the show, SCORE). So, is Zach Stone over forever? At MTV, I think so. But who knows? When making the show, I had kind of thought/sensed that it may be a one season show (like Lisa Kudrow’s “The Comeback”), so we made sure that this season could stand alone as its own contained thing. But if you guys continue to watch the show and show it to friends, it very well may have a second life somewhere else (and anyway I think the show is re-watchable, eh?). But anyways, looking forward, I will be releasing a book of poetry and a new stand-up special, in that order, later this year! Woo! I’m very excited to show you all this stuff. In the last three years, I’ve been working on these three projects (Zach, poetry book, special), and I’m very excited to share the latter two with you in the coming months. If you liked the show, I am sorry that you won’t be getting more of it soon. But please don’t feel sorry for me. I am the luckiest guy that I know. And my experience with “Zach Stone” has only affirmed that belief. Thank you all so very much. Bo.

LONDON -- Against the only opponent they'll see in these Olympics without a single NBA player on its roster, virtually nothing played out Tuesday night as the tournament's overwhelming favorites planned or envisioned. This was about as nervy for Team USA as a 47-point rout could ever be. Never did the Americans imagine they'd be trailing after nearly nine minutes against a Tunisia team that, in its Olympic debut two days prior against Nigeria, scored all of [[phy_address]] half. You likewise wouldn't have found, in anyone's red-white-and-blue script, anything about young Anthony Davis rushing in to finally get some earlier-than-usual playing time because Kevin Love had to hobble off with a knee injury. Eventually, though, Team USA managed to get what it wanted out of a thankless, no-win assignment against the African champions, who are destined to finish in the Group A basement. The 110-63 thumping left the Yanks just a basket shy of of matching the biggest win posted by the 2008 squad that took gold in Beijing, with Love shaking off the knock to his right knee that initially looked so worrisome to return in the fourth quarter and Davis reveling in the extra playing time he was supposed to get in more pleasant circumstances by ringing up a quick 12 points in a quarter-plus of living at the rim. And when a Polish reporter at the postgame news conference pronounced Mike Krzyzewski's name with a proficiency no one else in the room could touch, Team USA's coach could scarcely contain his approval. "You brought sunshine to my day," Krzyzewski said to the man. It was a mood-lightener Krzyzewski clearly welcomed amid the unavoidable questions about Team USA's flat start, that first-quarter deficit and the dramatic lineup change Coach K introduced both late in the first quarter and the start of the second half. Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler were all shuttled out -- in both cases -- and replaced by Carmelo Anthony, Deron Williams, Russell Westbrook, Andre Iguodala and Love. The final margin turned it out to be so lopsided that some of Tunisia's players were asking for postgame autographs from their conquerors, just like the vanquished used to do during the Dream Team days. And Tunisia's coach, Adel Tlatli, announced afterward through an interpreter how grateful he was that the NBA stars had too much "dignity" to run up the score. "Michael Jordan, probably," Krzyzewski said. "I would start there." Then turning serious, Krzyzewski reminded his audience yet again of the vast improvement worldwide in Team USA's competition over the past two decades, before adding: "You can nitpick and do whatever. People (want to evaluate) quarter to quarter, minute to minute. But that's not the way you develop a team." He did acknowledge legit initial concern "when Kevin [Love] went down," but that was the extent of Team USA's internal fretting on this occasion. Especially when Spain appears to have far more serious injury worries -- with star guard Juan Carlos Navarro forced to miss Spain's win over Australia earlier in the day with worsening foot issues -- and with Davis providing a promising counter to the hiccups by making sure at least one section of Tuesday's game plan was carried out. "I was just having a ball," Davis said after flushing home memorable alley-oop feeds from both Chris Paul and Kevin Durant. If it seems as though everyone on Team USA want to lob it to the kid, it's because they all do. Dream Team 12th man Christian Laettner stopped by practice this week and told ESPN.com that, contrary to legend, "all of [the original Dream Teamers] were pretty good to me after the first practice." The reverance from Davis from all his new mentors, however, is at another level. It seems boundless. LeBron James contends that the 7-footer already "reminds me of Marcus Camby." Kobe Bryant proclaimed after Sunday's win over France that he has taken Davis "under my wing" and that "everywhere I go, he goes." Deron Williams, meanwhile, has been raving about Davis' athleticism, energy level and the ground he covers defensively -- "Those things you can't teach," D-Will says -- since Team USA got to Europe. He has seen enough to refer to him, even at this stage of Davis' development, as a certain "franchise player." "You can tell," D-Will says. "And he doesn't even really know how to play the game yet. Once he figures out that, he definitely can be a scary player." Davis also had an unforseen lobbyist working on his behalf Monday, on the eve of the Tunisia game, trying to get him more minutes. That would be Laettner himself, who went to the workout in his role as an Olympic reporter for Fox Sports, but with the side hope of convincing his old Duke coach to give Davis some run. Not that he was prepared to make any outright demands. "I'm going to ask him about it," Laettner said with a laugh. "But I do think [Davis] needs to play a little bit in these next two games. I think Coach K's gotta get him in there a little bit because they can't play small-ball all the time and the kid is a terrific player. He's really long and really gets above the rim." Yet even Laettner, after the role he was thrust into as the only collegian on a squad with 11 Hall of Famers, finds himself wondering about the size of the leap Davis is making now after just one season of college ball. At age 19, too. "He's a whole lot younger than I was," Laettner said. "So I'm sure he's even a little more culture-shocked and basketball-shocked than I was." Maybe so, but it's sure hard to tell. Davis has grabbed every chance he's been given since shaking the ankle twist in early July that threatened to add him to the long list of American big men ruled out of the Olympics by injury, throwing down five dunks off lobs on the Tunisians in his ongoing bid to convince his first pro coach -- strange as that sounds -- that he can be trusted if foul trouble (or other forces) derail Tyson Chandler and/or Love. "They told me from the beginning, it's not going to be on me to win a gold medal," Davis said. "Just to be on the bench with these 11 other guys is a great opportunity. [But] when I get my time, I'm going to go out there and play hard." "When he's in there," Krzyzewski said of Davis, "our guys are obviously looking for him." Which is an illustration, Coach K contends, of the underrated bond this team uses for insulation against the smothering expectations and naysayers. "If we don't win this thing," Krzyzewski said, "it won't be because we're not together."

How much of the trail do you want to walk? There are people who walk a section of the trail and have someone meet them to take them back to the original vehicle. - Report Abuse I really just wanted to drive the scenic route and end up in Vermont somewhere, like on a lake i'd say. - Report Abuse One suggestion might be to take I84 over to Danbury, CT and then take Route 7 North through scenic areas all the way to Vermont. River, mts, small villages etc. - Report Abuse We like the Delaware Water Gap area. We go up to Albany and then cross over to Bennington VT. You can take the route over Hogback Mountain and end up in Brattleboro. If it's a Saturday, you can go to the farmers market which we thought was very festive and a great place to buy an ethnic lunch.

White Light/White Heat: The Velvet Underground Day-By-Day is by far the most comprehensive book on the Velvet Underground ever published. The 368-page, 8 1/2" X 11"-sized book details the group's recording sessions, record releases, concerts, press reviews, and other major events shaping their career with both thorough detail and critical insight. Drawing on about 100 interviews and exhaustive research through documents and recordings rarely or never accessed, it unearths stories that have seldom been told, and eyewitness accounts that have seldom seen print, from figures ranging from band members to managers, producers, record executives, journalists, concert promoters, and fans. Also included are numerous rare photos and Velvet Underground memorabilia. The July issue of MOJO magazine hails it as "an impressive means to reflect on the conundrum of what could be the ultimate cult band...detailed and anecdote-packed." Richie gives an overview of the book: April 18-23, 1966 RECORDING Scepter Records Studios, [[phy_address]] New York, NY. Producer Andy Warhol; engineers Norman Dolph, John Licata. The Velvet Underground finally enter a recording studio for the first time, laying down the bulk of their classic debut album within the space of a few days. Exactly which (and how many) days the Velvets spend at Scepter is unclear: because they aren’t yet signed to a recording contract, the group are not working within the usual system of preparing material for release – which tends usually to ensure some sort of documentation as to when the tapes are recorded and mixed. But whenever they take place, these sessions don’t just generate the heart of a classic album: they also produce one of rock’s rarest and most expensive relics in the form of an acetate disc (the mere existence of which will not be discovered for nearly 40 years). The idea behind the sessions is to produce material that can then be shopped around for a record deal. The costs are shared roughly equally between Andy Warhol and Norman Dolph, a Columbia Records sales executive and art collector who met Warhol in the course of his side job of supplying music for art gallery shows and openings with his mobile disco. (He asks to be paid in art rather than cash.) Dolph’s main job is in Columbia’s Custom Labels Division, which provides services for smaller labels without their own pressing plants. It’s through this work that he notices that one of his accounts, Scepter Records, has its own recording studios, which is how these sessions come to take place at Scepter’s midtown Manhattan facility on West 54th Street – later home to the famous Studio 54 discotheque. On the first or second night of the Velvets’ stint at the Dom, Dolph recalls being told, by Warhol, of his plan to “do an album” with the group. “I said, ‘I can help you with that.’ He said, ‘Oh really? Okay, good. Do it.’ I think he did that with a lot of people; if he found somebody that could do what he wanted, he’d just say, ‘Do it.’ And they would, whether it was appear in this movie or go out for pizza. He never gave a lot of orders that I ever saw. He just made suggestions and people took him up on it. He had plenty of people around to do anything he wanted. He didn’t ask me any questions about ‘do you know this studio or that engineer or this producer’ or any of that. It was: ‘We’d like to make a record,’ and I said, I’ll take care of it.’” Although the Velvets don’t yet have a record deal, the intention is to make a releasable album, not just a collection of demos. “At no time was what we were doing ever referred to by anybody as a demo,” Dolph recalls. “They were going for the jugular. They wanted to make a record that sounded like they sounded.” According to Paul Morrissey, this has to do, at least in part, with Warhol’s eagerness to see a return on his investment. “Andy was [saying], ‘There’s no money here. We’re not making any money. What is happening?’ He was always very uncomfortable if money wasn’t coming in. Even though they had signed their management contract before the Dom had opened, it was not easy, and Andy had to pay for the lawyers and all that. I said, ‘We have to do what everybody else does. They have to make a recording, and we have to try to sell it to a record company.’ Again he had to lay out the money for the recording studio, but it was only two or three thousand dollars for two or three nights.” (Other sources put the figure closer to $1,500.) In Joe Harvard’s book The Velvet Underground & Nico, part of Continuum’s 33 1/3 series on classic albums, Dolph speculates that the sessions take place somewhere between April 18–23. He believes that the sessions amount to a total of four days: two for recording, with a third for listening to playbacks and a fourth for mixing. The Velvets themselves will later give different estimates as to how much time is involved, but the total recording time probably adds up to around ten hours. In any case, the sessions must be complete by April 25, as acetates are cut on that day of the finished tracks, with one scratchy copy later generating an astronomic bid of $155,401 when auctioned on eBay. However long it takes, the session is a prolific and momentous turn of the calendar for The Velvet Underground who, after a lively year of fits and starts, are about to record the bulk of their first LP in little more than one fell swoop. Crammed, hasty studio dates such as these are not uncommon in the mid 60s, and not limited to smaller groups or albums. Ten of the fourteen tracks on The Beatles’ debut album, Please Please Me, were recorded on February 11 1963, later described as one of the most astonishingly productive days in the history of rock recording. Although it won’t receive as much acclaim, the first proper day of studio recording for The Velvet Underground & Nico doesn’t rank too far behind. The Velvets are not exactly studio neophytes when they walk into Scepter Studios. Lou Reed first worked in a professional recording environment in 1958, and recently spent about as year as an all-round handyman at Pickwick Records. Nico made a flop 45 for Immediate Records with some of the biggest names of the British Invasion in 1965, and has worked with top UK session-drummer Bobby Graham and Serge Gainsbourg. John Cale has recorded extensively with La Monte Young, Angus MacLise, and others; even Sterling Morrison has worked on home demos with Reed and Cale. Only Maureen Tucker has no experience of anything approaching a studio environment; Martha Morrison later recalls that “Moe’s drums were wiggling around, so I had to go in there and hold them for her.” Even so, it’s something rather different to be recording as part of a band managed, produced, and half-financed by one of the world’s most renowned contemporary visual artists – or at least sort of ‘financed’ and ‘produced’ by him. For all the resources at his disposal, Warhol seems unwilling to invest large sums in the band’s maiden studio voyage. He and Morrissey put in $700 – culled mostly from revenue earned by the Exploding Plastic Inevitable shows – toward the cost of the sessions, alongside $800 from Dolph. Although he is described by Cale in Transformer: The Lou Reed Story as a “shoe salesman,” Dolph does at least have some experience of the record business, which is more than can be said of Warhol or Morrissey. (Years later, responding to Cale’s jibe, Dolph tells Joe Harvard, “If you run into Cale, tell him to give you his foot size, and I’ll send him a fucking pair of shoes.”) Dolph has no experience as a record producer, however, so John Licata, Scepter’s in-house engineer, is brought in to lend the proceedings some semblance of professionalism. Neither man is credited on the eventual The Velvet Underground & Nico LP, but both will be listed as engineers of the Scepter sessions in later CD reissues, even if Dolph’s role is much more like that of a producer. Licata, says Dolph, “was wonderful, co-operative, easy to get along with … he was the total antithesis of The Velvet Underground. At no time did any of the musicians ever tell him what to do. They went in and played, and he got what they wanted. On the ‘banana’ album, they credit Val Valentin with the engineering. He may have done much of the remix or whatever, but he’s certainly not the engineer that was responsible for the sound of the album at its basis. When I heard the album [a year later], it sounded to me just like what we did. It didn’t sound appreciably different from what we did at Scepter.” Although the Scepter label is known for out-and-out pop/rock and soul records by the likes of The Shirelles and Dionne Warwick, its studios are not quite so state-of-the-art as one might expect. In fact, the studio is probably only available to the VU because the building is on the verge of being condemned. “We went in there and found that the floorboards were torn up, the walls were out, there were only four mics working,” Cale recalls in his autobiography. “We set up the drums where there was enough floor, turned it all up, and went from there. Dolph ran the sessions, but he didn’t understand the first thing about recording.” “I was not the producer in any sense that Quincy Jones is a producer,” Dolph admits. “The only thing I would say is because they were doing it on my money, and we had limited time resources fiscally – ’cause we were always bumping up against commitments that Scepter had in the studio – I kept the thing on the rails. I think part of the way the record sounds the way it sounds is because of John and I keeping the damned thing going and moving – you know, ‘Okay, next take, let’s do it, blah blah.’ That’s my contribution as a producer.” According to Dolph, the recordings are made on half-inch tape. The studio has a two-track machine and a four-track machine, which are probably used for overdubbing and alternate vocals. Dolph describes the Scepter studio as “small, certainly by contemporary studio sound. But they often recorded fairly large ensembles. They recorded a big orchestra behind Dionne Warwick, and they recorded gospel choirs in there. But they were always very crowded. It wasn’t Columbia’s 30th Street [studio] or some such. Once you had everybody in there, they had to pretty well stay put, because there wasn’t a lot of room to move around. For a playback everybody but John and I had to stand, there were no real seats in the place.” Recording The Velvet Underground in such an environment presents its own special challenges. “It seemed to me that the instruments, as heard live in the studio as opposed to on the other side of the glass, were being played rather loudly,” Dolph recalls. “You would ordinarily expect if they were gonna play that loud, they would be in a much larger room to get some isolation between one and the other. But there could have been little separation or isolation in any kind of modern sense in that room, considering how loud they were playing. The adrenaline quality of it was because we knew we had eight hours, and they wanted to get on with it, and I wanted to get on with it. Anytime they’d break down, I’d stop the tape and we’d start over. I don’t think there are two different complete takes of more than one or two songs, and I’m not even sure the breakdowns were saved. Because we were paying for the tape at probably $125 a roll, usually the broken takes were backed up and recorded over. Otherwise there would be some interesting scraps lying around.” The role Andy Warhol plays in the recording studio during these sessions will be much debated in years to come. He clearly doesn’t have the technical experience to ‘produce’ a record in a conventional sense. In a 1970 interview with Fusion magazine, Sterling Morrison describes Warhol as a producer “in the sense of producing a film,” helping to finance the sessions and generally keeping the band afloat and in good enough shape to enter the studio in the first place. Years later, in a 1986 interview with Ignacio Julia, Morrison will add: “He wasn’t really with us in the studio much, but he would come down … He would say what he liked – his main contribution was to give us confidence.” As Dolph recalls, “Licata was there 100 per cent of the time, I’m there 100 per cent of the time, and Morrissey was there much of the time. Warhol was there on occasion. He had his little tape recorder, which he carried all the time. I seem to remember him there probably for about two hours in the aggregate over maybe three occasions. But he was totally fascinated by what was going on, and I don’t think he made any aesthetic judgment whatsoever. ‘Gee, that sounds good’ might have been it. He was a spectator.” Both Cale and Reed however will later emphasize how Warhol’s contributions aren’t merely decorative, with Cale praising Warhol’s insistence that the band stay true to their live sound, and Reed appreciative of his refusal to bow to commercial considerations. “What he did do is he made it all possible,” Reed recalls in the Transformer documentary. “One by his backing. And two, before we went in the studio he said, ‘You’ve got to make sure – use all the dirty words. And don’t let them clean things.’ And so, when he was there, they – you know – they didn’t dare try to say, ‘Hey, why don’t you don’t do that over,’ or, gee, any one of all the other things they would normally have done never happened.” Reed’s observation might not wholly apply to this first session, as there is no record company looking over the Velvets’ shoulders to make sure the lyrics are sanitized or diluted. These recordings are designed instead to get the group a deal with a big label. Yet there can be no overestimation of the importance of a figure of Warhol’s stature giving the goahead to an unadulterated representation of the band’s sound and songs. That’s certainly what The Velvet Underground deliver on a set of material that pushes the sonic and lyric boundaries of rock music into previously uncharted territory, with the best songs enduring as classics. Although Sterling Morrison is usually thought of as a guitarist, he needs to play bass on several occasions during these sessions while Cale is occupied with other instruments. “I thought he was quite good [on bass],” Dolph recalls. “If I close my eyes and think of the session, the first thing that comes to mind is the pieces where John Cale is playing the viola. Because those drones and eastern figures that he’d create, which had to have that bass behind him, were just as locked in as you could imagine. And so I don’t have any real recollection in my mind of Sterling as a guitarist. I see him in tandem, in my mind, with John Cale.” Even by the standards of an April 1966 rock recording, the production on these dates is rudimentary, due in large part to the lack of funds available for buying more studio time and expertise. And yet, as Dolph stresses, the Velvets “were quite clear what they wanted to do. I don’t know that anybody really told Lou Reed what to do or what they thought, but you had the feeling that musical decisions were being made largely by John Cale, sort of in conference with Sterling. Moe was very quiet in the whole thing. I don’t think I heard her speak ten words. “Anything to do with a vocal performance where Lou Reed is singing, nobody influenced that at all,” Dolph continues. “If it was a thing where he was the focus of what was going on, he was it. But to the extent that it involved an ensemble, I would think that the credit fell to John Cale. You had the impression that John was a studied, learned musician in the sense that he could read scores and all that sort of thing. Lou Reed was essentially a performer. I don’t mean that derogatorily, but that he was the Mick Jagger of the deal, whereas John Cale was the Keith Richards of the deal.” In The Velvet Underground Under Review, Dolph adds, “I didn’t have the last word on anything, except to listen for things that sounded like true mistakes – if somebody knocked over a music stand, or you’d hear something that wasn’t mixed right, that you just clearly couldn’t handle. And then we’d look at John and say yeah, let’s start it over. And we’d break the take down, and start the thing over from the head. [That’s why] in most of those songs, there is only one surviving take.” In the same documentary, Tucker suggests that the limited time “affected the process or the result favorably, because we didn’t have time for nonsense.” According to Dolph, “At no time did anybody on either side of the glass say, ‘Well, we’ll fix it in the mix.’ There was never any ‘I don’t know, I’ll play it back tomorrow, see if I like it tomorrow, and if I don’t, then I’ll redo it.’ It was all just like they’d just sung it live.” In the liner notes to Peel Slowly And See, Cale describes the recording process as “a complete shambles. Norman Dolph is in the booth making comments like ‘Great! Dynamite! We got it!’ And we’re all looking at each other, going ‘Where is it written that he gets to say ‘This is a take’?” At the same time, as Cale emphasizes in his autobiography, “We were really excited. We had this opportunity to do something revolutionary – to combine the avant-garde and rock and roll, to do something symphonic. No matter how borderline destructive everything was, there was real excitement there for all of us. We just started playing and held it to the wall. I mean, we had a good time.” More time and technical fuss might not be necessary, as these songs have been perfected in both rehearsals and live performance for months. The real challenge is to arrive at a blend of frequencies rarely – if ever – heard in rock music before: a low rumble of guitars, often lowered from the more common E tuning to D, not to mention the fretless ‘ostrich guitar,’ on which all six strings are first tuned to the same pitch and then allowed gradually to detune, yielding a distinctively clashing, twanging sound; the piercing squeaks of feedback; Cale’s alternately screeching and soothing viola, not to mention his pounding, ominous piano; Tucker’s funereal, minimal drums; and, on the songs Nico sings, her ghostly voice (and, perhaps, tambourine). Whether it’s Reed or Nico singing, it’s crucial that the vocals be decipherable, given the pains the group has taken to preserve such taboo-busting lyrics untouched. Do they succeed? Well, yes and no. The mix on the harder-rocking songs in particular is, by conventional standards, somewhat blurry and murky, if not cacophonous on the largely instrumental ‘European Son.’ Yet these subterranean clouds of sound don’t interfere with the effectiveness of the tracks, and in some respects actually enhance them. ‘Run Run Run’ has the guttural churning of the New York subway, and ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’ a dense foreboding wholly in keeping with the despondent ennui of the song’s sad, empty debutante. The Nico-sung ballads ‘I’ll Be Your Mirror’ and ‘Femme Fatale’ boast by contrast a clear, clean sound, balancing the vocals, light percussion, and guitars well enough to indicate that someone in the control booth knows what they’re doing. The big point of contention among the band-members as they ready first recordings appears not to relate to specifics about the sound or mix but to how many songs Nico should be allowed to sing. Cale will later recall that Reed doesn’t want Nico on the album at all; Paul Morrissey, who carries weight as one of the group’s managers, wants her to be the featured vocalist. “Lou didn’t want Nico to sing at all,” Morrissey confirms in Nico: The Life & Lies Of An Icon. “I’d say, ‘But Nico sings that song on stage,’ and he’d reply, ‘Well, it’s my song,’ like it was his family. He was so petty.” As he will later note in an unpublished interview with M.C. Kostek and Phil Milstein on the What Goes On fanzine, Sterling Morrison prefers Nico’s voice “when she sings sort of whispery, like in ‘I’ll Be Your Mirror,’ as opposed to ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties.’” In the Nico/Icon documentary, Morrison adds that the voicing of just such an opinion “actually reduced [her] to tears in the studio because we wanted her to sing in a soft voice, rather than in a hard, Germanic voice.” According to Warhol, Nico also keeps bawling that she wants to sing like Bob Dylan – which is not only a style that she is ill-equipped for, but also one that the rest of the band have no interest in pursuing. The group end up doing what Warhol has apparently been encouraging them to do all along: follow the lines of their live performances. And so Reed assumes lead vocal duties on most of the songs, with Nico singing only the three songs she is used to performing on stage. “It wasn’t enough, but it took an awful lot of arguing to get that far,” says Paul Morrissey in Nico: The Life & Lies Of An Icon. Since joining the group, Nico has pushed to sing tougher Reed songs such as ‘Heroin’ and ‘I’m Waiting For The Man,’ for which her voice would be totally inappropriate, but in the end the only official Velvet Underground recordings she will ever sing lead on will be ‘I’ll Be Your Mirror,’ ‘Femme Fatale,’ and ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties.’ It’s ironic then that, of the half-dozen tracks from this session that will eventually find release (sometimes in a slightly altered fashion) on The Velvet Underground & Nico, these Nico-sung productions are perhaps the finest. ‘I’ll Be Your Mirror’ in particular is proof that the Velvets are not just about drugs, deprivation, and kinky sex set to a nails-on-blackboard soundtrack. A lilting and quite melodic piece, it also allows for the possibility of love as a redemptive force, quite apart from the admittedly compelling degradation of songs such as ‘Venus In Furs.’ The delicately picked guitar, sparse tambourine, and restrained, magnificently deep vocals work together to create a low-key masterpiece. These elements are buttressed by muted power-chords at the stop-start end of the reassuring bridge and high harmonies on the fade. Although the acetate version probably uses the same backing track that will eventually appear on The Velvet Underground & Nico, the vocal is different, most noticeably when Nico sings “to show that you’re home” instead of “so you won’t be afraid” at the end of the second verse, having almost stumbled over the same verse’s opening line. The falsetto backing harmonies are also much lower in the mix than on the official release. ‘I’ll Be Your Mirror’ almost isn’t completed at all, however, as Nico keeps breaking down in tears between takes after failing to nail the vocal. “At that point we said, ‘Oh, try it just one more time and then fuck it – if it doesn’t work this time we’re not going to do the song,’” Sterling Morrison will later claim in a 1981 interview with the New Musical Express. The next take, fortunately, is the one that Nico gets right. ‘Femme Fatale’ has a seductively bittersweet melody just as attractive as that of ‘I’ll Be Your Mirror,’ and a similar Nico vocal made up from equal parts gloom and croon. But the lyrics here are far more downbeat, detailing an icy, remorseless master of heartbreak – perhaps even modeled on Nico herself, although Edie Sedgwick is usually acknowledged as the primary inspiration. The song offers further evidence of the Velvets’ underrated knack for both softly shimmering guitar-lines and slightly sardonic backing-vocals, pitched much higher here than on the official version, where the “she’s a femme fatale” harmonies are mixed down so low that they sound like a Greek chorus spilling over from the next room. Reed will later claim, in the November 1987 issue of Creem, that the lead vocal is given to Nico in part because “she could sing the high chorus. That’s why, at the end of the song, you get those ‘oh-woa-woe’s.” ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’ is not the most renowned of The Velvet Underground’s early songs, but this Warhol favorite is a sleeper contender for the greatest achievement on their debut album. Lyrically, it’s a six-minute wail of despair, made all the more chilling by its detached third-person narrative, enunciated by Nico in her lowest and most booming, Wagnerian tones. Once again Reed is venturing into virgin territory for rock music, detailing a more contemporary, urban, and decadent isolation than is usually heard in laments over failed love: a party girl consumed by enervating boredom, her façade crumbling into solitary tears behin her door. Just as important to the odd power of the song’s deathly pallor are the gothic tune and the inventive arrangement, which features swooping bass-notes that glide into coffin-slamming thumps; Cale’s barroom-boogie-from-hell piano, its unusual clipped tone produced by stringing a chain of paper clips between the strings; and spiky squawks of guitar culminating in a brief crescendo that cuts off as if the power has suddenly cut out. Cleaved in half upon its initial release on the band’s first single, the full album version of ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’ is not as noisy as The Velvet Underground get, but they would never be more devastatingly disturbing. (The 1986 CD release of the ‘banana’ album uses an alternate mix featuring a single-tracked Nico vocal, as opposed to the usual doubletracked version.) “That was John Cale’s arrangement,” Reed later explains in a 1971 interview with Vernon Gibbs for Metropolitan Review. “The original song was very folky, he made it very grand and Gothic and then of course Nico’s vocal changed it around a lot. Fabulous that Nico, she really is great.” Asked whether the protagonist of the song is a friend of his, Reed replies, “Well, we knew each other. I wasn’t that friendly with her. I knew enough about her to stick her in a song. I always just exaggerate parts of people … I thought Nico and John did it up really well. If you get into Nico there’s always the danger that you don’t want to leave.” Although stories will later circulate of a troubled relationship between Nico and the rest of the Velvets, Norman Dolph notes that they “treated her with great respect” during the Scepter sessions. “Imagine [jazzman] Les Brown and his band of renown, and Doris Day as their singer,” he adds. “It’s as though when Doris Day came on, she was a special focus of what that orchestra did.” Similarly, as Dolph recalls, the Velvets saw Nico as “a jewel in a setting. It was in no way slapdash or quick or ‘let’s get this broad out of here.’ It was, ‘Now we’re gonna shift into a quieter gear, and we’re gonna do Nico.’ Things went into sort of a quiet mode when she was there. I don’t believe she was in the studio much longer than when she was performing in the studio.” Among the other tracks recorded at these sessions are three songs that aren’t quite up to the standard of the Nico-sung material, but are certainly impressive and vital to the diversity of the running order of the eventual LP. ‘Run Run Run’ might not be quite so notorious as ‘I’m Waiting For The Man,’ but it’s just as hardening and realistic a look at inner-city lost souls and junkies. The muddiest and least evenly balanced cut on the album, it has a percolating, muffled roar carried by one of Reed’s best rock’n’roll vocals (joined by almost distracted-sounded harmonies in the chorus); unpredictable bursts of feedback; and strangled, distorted ‘ostrich’ guitar. The sole Reed/Cale composition recorded at these sessions, ‘The Black Angel’s Death Song’ (or ‘The Black Angel Of Death,’ as it’s still known when it’s recorded) takes the band much further from the unwritten laws of rock’n’roll. Reed’s declamatory sing-speak vocal is backed only by Cale’s dance-on-fire viola and a low guitar-figure that’s strummed with an edginess suggestive of whirling dervish madness; Cale leans into the mic to hiss viciously and wordlessly during the instrumental breaks. As odd as all of this is, the lyrics are even more outrageously weird, Reed’s tongue-twisting prose a match for any of Dylan’s surreal, poetic creations. (Dylan however is unlikely to have used such scatological imagery as bowels-embedded rat tails and suchlike.) More than any other early Velvets song, ‘The Black Angel’s Death Song’ reflects Reed’s schooling in the literature of his early mentor, Delmore Schwartz. So too, less obviously, does ‘European Son,’ if only by virtue of an implied dedication in The Velvet Underground & Nico’s liner notes, where the composer credits list it as ‘European Son To Delmore Schwartz.’ The dedication is somewhat tongue-in-cheek: as Sterling Morrison will later explain to Ignacio Julia, “Delmore despised rock’n’roll lyrics, he thought they were ridiculous and awful, and ‘European Son’ has hardly any lyrics so that meant that was a song that Delmore might like. He didn’t care about the music part of rock’n’roll, he just hated the lyrics, so we wrote a song that Delmore would like: 20 seconds of lyrics and seven minutes of noise.” ‘European Son’ is in some respects the most radical recording of the Scepter sessions, its manic up-and-down guitar riff joined by a choppy rhythm as Reed spits out a single verse of bitter non-sequiturs. An unearthly howl and a mirror-smashing crash then lead into more than five minutes of frenzied instrumental jamming. Tucker’s irregular drum-patterns collapse and collide with hair-raising guitar and ear-piercing feedback, culminating in the thunderous clang of a discord. Considering the fact that most of it sounds like a group improvisation, it’s appropriate that the song is credited to the four band-members heard on the recording: Reed, Cale, Morrison, and Tucker. The least accessible track on The Velvet Underground & Nico, ‘European Son’ bears little relation to any rock recording before it – except perhaps The Who’s equally turbulent (but less dissonant) instrumental ‘The Ox,’ as heard on The Who Sing My Generation. When ‘European Son’ is placed at the end of side two of the Velvets’ own debut, however, it will bring proceedings to a fitting take-no-prisoners climax. It’s surely an act of perversity then to place it as track one on side one of the acetate cut from these sessions – the very acetate designed to land the group a record deal! The acetate version is about a minute longer than the version on The Velvet Underground & Nico, from which more chaotic guitar-soloing (perhaps a little more bluesy than the rest) is cut right after the loud crash. Despite the relatively primitive technological conditions of the sessions, one particularly imaginative maximization of the tools available can be heard on ‘European Son.’ In the third issue of What Goes On, Warhol assistant and EPI dancer Ronnie Cutrone claims that the ‘broken glass’ effect heard on the song is in fact the sound of somebody (probably John Cale) running a chair down a grocery-store dolly into a stack of steel plates. According to Maureen Tucker, however, the noise is simply the sound of a chair being dragged across the floor by Cale, who then drops a glass or bottle after stopping in front of Reed. Martha Morrison, a visitor to the sessions, remembers Reed actually dropping a mirror – “it had to be perfect timing, it couldn’t have been just anybody” – to mimic the sound of breaking glass, “and me getting hysterical, and getting yelled at by Lou. I just thought it was a riot, what they were doing to get their sound effects. I wasn’t serious enough.” Seriousness, in fact, is the prevailing mood as the Velvets work through their first proper studio session. “It was very tense,” Morrison says. “There’d be some laughing, of course, but it was a very tense scene. It wasn’t party time.” The versions of ‘I’ll Be Your Mirror,’ ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties,’ ‘Femme Fatale,’ ‘Run Run Run,’ ‘The Black Angel’s Death Song,’ and ‘European Son’ recorded at Scepter will all be used on The Velvet Underground & Nico, albeit in different mixes. (Dolph later notes that ‘There She Goes Again’ is also cut at the same time, but doesn’t appear on the acetate, and might not be the same recording as can be heard on the Velvets’ debut.) The Scepter acetate also includes three other songs which, taken together, are the most famous Lou Reed compositions to appear on the album. But the renditions of ‘Heroin,’ ‘I’m Waiting For The Man,’ and ‘Venus In Furs’ laid down at Scepter are not the versions that will appear on The Velvet Underground & Nico. Each of these songs will be re-recorded in May at TTG Studios in Hollywood, with Tom Wilson probably handling the production. (Years later, there remains some dispute over whether the ‘official’ versions of these songs were produced by Wilson or Warhol, or recorded in New York or Hollywood.) The acetate versions of these three landmark songs are noticeably different. ‘Heroin’ has a different opening line: “I know just where I’m going” instead of “I don’t know just where I’m going,” a seemingly slight alteration that nonetheless completely changes the song’s meaning. It also has a shorter instrumental intro, and a different guitar line. “That was the one where Lou Reed needed to kind of get his head in the right place,” Dolph recalls. “In the control room, nobody moved a muscle when he was singing that song. You didn’t want anything to go wrong with that take at all, because if it had, he would have torn a wall down. Every bit of the energy in the song, you experienced in his persona at that point.” In a less significant variation, ‘I’m Waiting For The Man’ begins with “the man” rather than “my man,” which might just clear up why the song is so titled. It also has a rather more conventional, bluesy guitar-solo, and Reed’s memorable final aside – “walk it home” – is absent. ‘Venus In Furs’ is pretty close to the version on what will come to be known as the ‘banana’ album, but it’s possibly a bit faster and slightly less tight, with Reed’s vocal not quite dripping with as much deadpan venom. These are admittedly hairline distinctions, so it’s perhaps most interesting to puzzle over why it was felt necessary to re-cut these three tunes – particularly since the TTG retakes don’t sound particularly clearer or more professional than the versions cut at the supposedly slapdash Scepter date (and this, too, despite the likely involvement of Wilson, one of the most esteemed producers in the business). Perhaps Warhol, Dolph, and the Velvets are more competent at recording themselves than will sometimes be assumed, or maybe the band’s raw approach neither benefits nor suffers from more experienced technological supervision. Whatever the case, the acetate resulting from the session is an artistic triumph but a commercial failure as it fails initially to attract any industry interest. A deal with Verve/MGM is however looming on the horizon, and the session can be seen as a great success in that it generates over half of what ends up on The Velvet Underground & Nico. But it will take at least two more sessions, two more studios, and one more producer to complete the final tracks – and almost a year will pass until the record is finally released.

WHAT is one man’s scrap could be turned into artist David Farrar’s treasure. The 22-year-old led the project to build Narnia out of cardboard for the CS Lewis Festival in September. And for one night only he is exhibiting his work in a special pop-up show this evening. Mr Farrar has worked with Oxford’s scrapstore Orinoco and is now showing off his prints at the Coach House in Quarry Road, Headington, from 7pm to 9pm, in his first solo exhibition since graduating from the Glasgow School of Art. He said: “I’m too young for a retrospective, but I still wanted to do a show that would bring together the work I’ve done over the last few years. I wanted to show people what I’ve been up to and see what they thought.” Howie Watkins, of Orinoco, said: “It doesn’t matter what you give him to work with, David will make something of it.” Mr Farrar’s work on show will be a mix of screen prints, etchings and lithographs. The screen print is of an abstract piece based on a photograph of a pile of furniture he found in Belgium. The Palmer Road resident works as an Oxford University grounds keeper.

Since the denominators (the numbers at the bottom) are the same (they are both 3's) all you have to do is subtract the top numbers and leave the bottom the same: so for the top you get: 1-5 = -4 and the bottom stays the same:3 final answer: -4/3 Just think of having one slice of a pizza (1/3 is the size) and you've got 5 friends you want to feed. You want to give away five pieces, but you only have one. So how many friends will get a piece? (Just one, right?). How many friends will NOT get a slice? (The other four, right?) So four friends WON'T get a slice, or in matematical terms...-4 friends will get a slice (- means not). The 1/3 is the size, so the answer is -4/3. Four friends will not (-) get a slice of the size 1/3. When the "size" of the slice is the same, you can simple just add or subtract the number of slices (or the top digit, numerator). Remember that an equal "size" refers to the denominator (or bottom digit) of the fractions being the same. Always draw pictures and relate it to real-life when you can. Hope that helped make it real for you.
Cantor’s candor welcome - 0 Comments Thank you, Eric Cantor. Thank you for walking out on useless talks, presided over by Vice President Joe Biden, addressing raising the limit on our nation’s debt. According to press accounts, the Republican House majority leader called it quits on talks between Democratic and Republican leaders because Democrats refuse to give in on raising taxes.

\|Posted by Mermaid Mary on June 8, 2011 at 3:21 PM\| Ok so I was looking up mermaid sightings and I found one that happened in Israel!! Now I personally feel sorry for the mermaid, because they said that whoever can take a clear, real picture of her, get $10000! Anyway, here is the story. PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT OWN THIS STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Story: Locals and tourists in the Israeli town of Kiryat Yam have been flocking to the coast in hopes of glimpsing a creature that most people believe only exist in fairy tales. An alleged mermaid, said to resemble a cross between a fish and a young girl, only appears at sunset. It performs a few tricks for onlookers before disappearing for the night. One of the first people to see the mermaid, Shlomo Cohen, said, "I was with friends when suddenly we saw a woman laying on the sand in a weird way. At first I thought she was just another sunbather, but when we approached she jumped into the water and disappeared. We were all in shock because we saw she had a tail." So, what I want you to think about is this: Do you think this story is true or false? Leave a comment and let me know. If you post any comment at all, even if it's a question, before just say T or F (T for True, F for False, well nah duh lol) EXAMPLE: "T. This is sooo cool!:" Ok so just let me know what you think! Thx 4 veiwing my websiting, And Happy Swimming!!! ~Mermaid Mary Categories: MERMAID SIGHTINGS!!!, Mermaid Update!, True Or False???????? Oops, you forgot something.

Jose Rizal, a man with so many accomplishments. Jose Rizal gives all of us inspiration in all the things we do. He is inspires us to be hardworking and diligent, which most of us are not. I am amazed that even though Rizal was in exile, he didn’t mind the fact that he was sent to Dapitan to live like a prisoner and yet he still manages to accomplish many things. He has taught the poor Mindanao folk to unite for trading so that they may become independent and free themselves from the Chinese and thus become less exploited, in the sense that he organized a cooperative even in exile. While many people would be in panic, despair or lose hope for any success in their lives because of being exiled Jose Rizal continued to serve his country. This is Continue... what made Jose Rizal stand out of the others as a hero to a nation. Rizal is our hero, our inspiration, our lesson of the past that we should be a man for our country. I wish I could go to Dapitan for a glimpse of how our hero lived in Dapitan while being exiled. Right now I wish that the tree he planted would somehow magically make Rizal appear in this time of ours so that I can praise him for what he did for us. That's two lifetimes for the average Filipino, quite a long time. But not really so when one thinks about the baluno tree he nurtured and which grows to this day as our living connection to him and when one thinks about the issues he cared about and which continue to challenge us today: health, education, poverty and inequality. He truly was a man of action, he did not only looked over the people nor just tell people what to do, he helped them in their everyday work. I mean we are talking about Rizal here, every where you go in the Philippines there is a Rizal Street. Was it coincidence, was it dedicated to Rizal, or is this an indication that Rizal was born to be our heroIt is in the first part of the article I can relate to the writer, his enthusiasm to go to the place where our national hero stayed once in his life. Last June 19, we celebrated Rizal's 143rd birthday. Rizal was intelligent and yet very humble. He always put his countrymen first before him. It would be such an honor to know more about our hero.

What is Verification? The U.S. Department of Education (ED) selects students for the verification process. Once selected, a college or university financial aid office is required to verify selected items by collecting tax returns and other specified documents, and compare the information with items on the student's FAFSA. Beginning with the 2013-2014 academic year, the U.S. Department of Education will identify specific items for verification if a student is selected for verification. Not all students will be required to turn in the same documentation; it will depend on which verification group the student is selected. Examples of the different verification groups and items that a student will need to verify are listed below. Details of what documentation is needed from a student will be posted on the student's MyNortheast account. Group 1: Group 2: Group 3: Group 4: Group 5: Tax Return Documentation - Financial aid offices cannot accept signed copies of federal tax returns from students and parents for FAFSAVerification purposes. All applicants have two options to provide tax return documentation: Option 1 (preferred and quickest). Use the IRS Data Retrieval Process when completing the FAFSA online. Tax filers not eligible to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. Students and parents that did not use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when initialing completing the FAFSA may log back into the FAFSA and use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool after completing their FAFSA. Option 2. Request a Federal Tax Return Transcript from the IRS and Turn in the document to the Northeast State financial aid office. How to Request a Tax Return Transcript: Online Request: IRS Office Request: Telephone Request: Paper Request form - IRS Form 4506T-EZ Non-Tax Filers will be required to turn in additional information to document all sources of income.

St. Louis, MO (KTRS) - Residents in St. Louis city lodged a record number of complaints about snow removal. Officials say they received more than 1,300 complaints in 2013--more than the total from the previous five years combined. On January 10th, two days after nearly a foot of snow fell on the area, 41 complaints were made in one hour. That’s more than all complaints combined in 2012. This winter the city plowed side streets for the first time. STL City streets dept. has new snow removal strategy for this storm MoDOT looking for on-call employees to help with snow removal Temperatures may be in the 70's and 80's but that isn't stopping MoDOT from preparing for wintry weather. MoDOT is hiring for emergency snow removal crews. They are looking for on-call operators that will help 2,400 full-time employees to maintain over 33,000 miles of roadways. The on-call employees will be trained to supplement MoDOT's snow removal operations. Pay for the positions average around $14 an hour. More information on the job requirements and where to apply can be found at modot.org or by calling 888-ASK-MODOT. Light snow dusting metro area, road crews ready St. Louis County and St. Louis City street crews pre-treated the roads Thursday evening in an effort to prevent any morning rush hour surprises. But both MoDOT and IDOT officials decided to wait and monitor. Both transportation departments say they'll adjust as conditions warrant. At midnight, road temperature sensors were showing the interstates all above freezing. But drivers are being cautioned to use extra care on elevated roadways, ramps and bridges.

A senior London bank executive was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of tax fraud, according to the tax authority. HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) said the suspected fraud concerned a personal tax return and was not related to the person's employer. (Read More: French Minister Faces Formal Tax Fraud Probe) HMRC investigators carried out the arrest of the 63-year-old man at a residential address in London. Alan Lee, deputy director of criminal investigation for HMRC, said: "Tax fraud is a serious crime and HMRC will not hesitate to take action and investigate where we find evidence of someone not playing by the rules." More From The Financial Times: Germany Probes Barclays' Tax Loophole Usage Farage Apologises for Offshore 'Mistake' 'Monstrous Uncertainty' Over Swiss Banks He added: "Further information cannot be provided at this stage as our investigation is ongoing." Both the Crown Prosecution Service and HMRC – which investigates cases before referring criminal files to the CPS – have pledged to increase the number of prosecutions over tax fraud, as they try to rein in the £14 billion a year that the economy loses from tax evasion. HMRC's prosecution office was merged into the CPS in 2010. (Read More: Berlusconi Tax Fraud Sentence Upheld by Italian Court) In January, the CPS said it would dramatically ramp up the number of tax-evasion cases it took on with a view to prosecution over the next two years. It said it would increase fivefold the number of tax files it handles, to 1,500 a year by 2014-15. This compares with 200 tax convictions the CPS secured in 2010. Its current conviction rate for tax cases stands at 86 per cent. HMRC has traditionally been wary of the high costs of bringing cases, as well as the difficulty of convincing juries in complex cases. But it has faced pressure to take more tax cases to court, amid fears that a steady decline in prosecutions is eroding the deterrence of fraud and evasion.

Hi, I am spending a weekend in Mystic, Conneticut in early May. I usually stay at B&B's, but I recently has a bad experience with one in New Hampshire. Without going into detail I was very dissatisfied and left early without getting any of my money back. Needless to say I am a little wary of going the B&B route again. So I had heard the Hilton was a good hotel close to everything. I just wanted some opinions. The thought of staying in a high rise hotel doesn't appeal to me, but I can't get myself to take a chance on another B&B. What do you think?

The shipping world appears to be entering 2014 with a higher level of confidence than it has the past three years, according to the latest Shipping Confidence Survey from international accountant and Maritime London member Moore Stephens. The firm noted encouraging news on freight rates. According to London’s Baltic Exchange its headline Baltic Dry Index, which tracks dry bulk freight rates, stood at an average of 1205 points over the whole of [[phy_address]] 929 the previous year. Significantly though, the average for 2013’s fourth quarter was a confidence-inspiring 1854 points. Moore Stephens also noted evidence of an increased willingness to invest. Despite a great deal of positivity, concerns resurfaced again in the report over the cost of regulation, operating costs and overtonnaging. Moore Stephens shipping partner, Richard Greiner, said: “The findings of this latest survey provide more good news for the shipping industry. It is now fifteen months since we recorded a decline in shipping confidence. There is an old adage which says that confidence is contagious. If that is true, shipping certainly seems to have caught the bug.” He added: “It was noticeable on this occasion that, in contrast to previous surveys, very few of our respondents referred to the effect that the global economic and political situation is having on their business. This does not mean, of course, that those problems have gone away. But it is a clear indication that they are perceived to be improving, to the extent that the industry is now focusing on issues closer to home, and moreover on problems where they can realistically contribute towards helping to find a solution.” Source: Moore Stephens Confidence Survey/Maritime London Schlumberger Limited (NYSE:SLB) today reported first-quarter 2014 revenue from continuing operations of $11.24 billion versus $11.91 billion in the fourth quarter of 2013, and $10.

North Carolina’s Braveyoung was formed in late 2005 by brothers Zachary and Isaac Jones, Kyle Whisenant and Derrick Wells. Prior to recording the first full-length album, entitledSong, the addition of Rodney Hicks rounded out what would be the first touring situation for the band. Song was released by a long time friend’s upstart label, Southern Empire Records in early 2006. After touring fairly extensively, a friendship garnered from touring the U.S. withTides (RI) birthed the release of a split 12″, released on Level Plane/Teenage Disco Bloodbath Records. In 2007, The End Recordsand Braveyoung (then Giant) partnered up. Soon after, Rodney split from the group, amicably, to pursue other interests. In January of 2008,Braveyoung went into the studio to record the next full length as a four piece. The recording experience failed to produce what the band wanted as their sophomore release, and much to their personal distress, refused to release the record as it was recorded. However, the setback helped the group realize a greater potential in the addition of Benjamin Saperstein and the limited edition vinyl release of Bloom. In the summer of 2009, Braveyoung toured Europe for five weeks with City of Ships, with another close friendship born from time on the road. Derrick left the group after the time spent in Europe to pursue other things as well, and after more U.S. touring as a four piece once again, in June of 2010, Braveyoungrecorded what will be their first full length since Song, the lush and hypnotic soundscape entitled We Are Lonely Animals.
Lions running back caught twice in month span Brad Biggs Mikel Leshoure attempted to eat marijuana during a traffic stop last month to avoid prosecution. Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports that Leshoure was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped by police on March 12. Per the report, a police chief said “Leshoure tried to eat the weed to avoid charge.” Leshoure pleaded to a lesser charge after a Feb. 18 traffic stop in which he was cited for possession of marijuana. This follows up on the previous report that the Detroit Lions running back has been busted for allegedly possessing marijuana twice this offseason. Leshoure is being arraigned on the latest charge today. The running back is working to return from a torn Achilles tendon that ruined his rookie season. Now, he’ll now doubt be on the radar of the NFL. Stay tuned. Perhaps this will make running back a greater need for the Lions come the draft.

Tennis is a unique sport in so many ways. Being an individual sport makes it highly mental, as there is no contact between the opponents, both players are never on the same side of the court, and the battle is more tactical and psychological.

It was the same liberal arts school that Walter Mondale attended, but they were a few years apart and didn’t meet until 1955, when one of Joan’s sisters arranged a blind date. Six months later they were engaged, and they married soon after. She dabbled in Democratic Party politics as a ward chairwoman, though she focused on her family as her husband built his political career, starting with state attorney general. Joan tended to a family that would eventually include sons Ted and William and a daughter, Eleanor, who died in 2011 after a long battle with brain cancer. When Walter Mondale was tapped to fill the Senate seat vacated by Vice President-elect Hubert Humphrey in 1964, the family headed to Washington. There, Joan Mondale immersed herself in the capital’s art scene. She gave weekly tours at the National Gallery of Art and took pottery lessons. Even when her husband was campaigning as Carter’s vice president, she tried to keep up with regular ceramics classes. More recently, she sat on the U.S. Postal Service panel that has a role in selecting stamp designs. She gave up her seat on that committee in 2010.

Talking to Lib Dems these last few days about the unfolding car crash that is Nick Clegg's increasingly bizarre European policy, I've been struck by the sorrowful mood of many on both sides of the emerging rift. No one has gone looking for this fight; Lib Dems aren't averse to infighting (just ask Charlie Kennedy and Ming Campbell). But rarely over policy and never before over Europe. "We're not the Tories. This just isn't our thing," says one wistful MP. Perhaps even more important, Lib Dems, rebels included, have genuine affection for Mr Clegg. Those preparing to defy him in the Commons do so with heavy hearts. And few will have taken any pleasure in his painfully brittle performance on Newsnight,Â which vividly showed that he has stretched the logic of his position to breaking point. Still, the same can't be said of Labour and Tory MPs. They are united in loving every minute of the LibDem ordeal. Recent Posts - Who killed Maria Miller's career?

Dan Brown may be right, Manila may very well be “the Gates of Hell” as he declared in his new novel, “Inferno”. If so, who better than Joseph “Erap” Estrada to be its Gatekeeper? Almost six years ago, I wrote this article after Estrada’s conviction for plunder. Obviously, Filipinos have short memories. Three years after his conviction, Erap ran for president and was almost elected again, placing second to PNoy. Three years later, he was elected mayor of Manila. Obviously, in Manila, plunder convictions don’t count when assessing a candidate’s fitness for office. An estimated 150 foreign teachers, composed mostly of Filipinos, have been notified by the Maryland's Prince George's Country school system that it has no plans to sponsor temporary work visas or permanent residency at the end of the current school term. The decision, contained in letters sent to the affected teachers, means that they may have to leave when their visas expire around August. The foreign teachers were among more than 1,000 highly-qualified teachers recruited mostly from the Philippines since 2004 to meet the shortage of teachers in math, science and for students with special needs.

When I look at — throughout my life — I’ve known that I wanted to do astrophysics since I was 9 years old…I got to see how the world around me reacted to my expressions of these ambitions. All I can say is, the fact that I wanted to be a scientist, an astrophysicist was hands down the path of most resistance through the forces of society. Anytime I expressed this interest, teachers would say, ‘Oh, don’t you wanna be an athlete?’ I want to become someone that was outside of the paradigm of expectations of the people in power. Fortunately, my depth of interest of the universe was so deep and so fuel enriched that everyone of these curve balls that I was thrown, and fences built in front of me, and hills that I had to climb, I just reach for more fuel, and I just kept going. Now, here I am, one of the most visible scientists in the land, and I wanna look behind me and say, ‘Where are the others who might have been this,’ and they’re not there! …I happened to survive and others did not simply because of forces of society that prevented it at every turn. At every turn. …My life experience tells me that when you don’t find blacks, when you don’t find women in the sciences, I know that these forces are real, and I had to survive them in order to get where I am today. So before we start talking about genetic differences, you gotta come up with a system where there’s equal opportunity, then we can have that conversation." — Neil DeGrasse Tyson in response to a question posed by Lawrence Summers, former Treasury Security and Harvard University President "What’s up with chicks and science?" Are there genetic differences between men and women, explain why more men are in science. (via magnius159) SMACKDOWN, (via lamardeuse) when you realise you’ve eaten more than the rest of your friends at a party (Source: amoying, via stingerhouse) Can we talk about how Steve Rogers would probably fight to keep abortion legal and safe, because he saw how many people used to die back in the day because all abortions were illegal and unsafe and he knows if a person is pregnant and don’t want to be pregnant they will find a way to not be pregnant? Can we talk about Steve Rogers telling off right wing politicians who say minimum wage isn’t supposed to be a living wage? Can we have him saying ‘No, I remember when it was instituted. It was supposed to be a living wage, senator.’ Can we talk about Steve Rogers supporting a raise in SNAP benefits, because he knows how it feels to go hungry? Can we talk about Steve Rogers having problems with this country’s military industrial complex? #ProgressiveFarLeftSteveRogers What if Right Wing Politicians were using him as like a mascot before he was defrosted. Like Fox News has “What Would Captain America Do?” shirts and shit like that. And then Steve wakes up “He’s just like, lol no don’t even say my name anymore.” And then the daily show has an entire segment dedicated to the speech he gives and fox news’ reaction. Steve Rogers is not the hyper-masculine ultra-patriotic gun-toting conservative puppet that Fox News wants him to be. The news media has a field day on both sides about how he reacted to fox news. Liberals and dems are cheering him on and talking about how great he is and having him speak on shows and conservatives and republicans are enraged and offended and yell about how he has betrayed them and try to get him to mess up in interviews and go “well no but you really mean this right?” and he blasts them down every time. I need this written 4000 years ago I feel uncomfortable turning Captain America into the subject of a highly partisan argument. He’s supposed to represent universal American values like democracy, liberty and freedom. He is a better representation of classical liberalism and founding principles than he is of either the Republican or Democratic parties. The idea of Captain America is to unite people, not divide them. Theoretically yes. Non-theoretically, he was made to represent the 1940s liberal ideals. Non-theoretically, he was the son of a single mother who grew up in New York in poverty. Non-theoretically, he was made by Jews to fight against the oppression they experienced at that time. Non-theoretically, Steve is leftist as fuck. The entire plot of Cap2 is “Look at how fucked up the American Military Industrial Complex is! Look at it! We need to literally blow it up and tear it down. It can not be saved. It is corrupt to the core.” Like, that’s the entire plot of the movie. Three soldiers finding out how truly fucked up the American military industrial complex is and deciding to end that shit. It’s a two hour criticism of domestic surveillance and American military force framed as a peacekeeping measure littered with explosions. Steve is left of center as the day is long. Allow me to quote Steve Attewell about one of my favorites: “Steve Rogers grew up poor in the Great Depression, the son of a single mother who insisted he stayed in school despite the trend of the time (his father died when he was a child; in some versions, his father is a brave WWI veteran, in others an alcoholic, either or both of which would be appropriate given what happened to WWI veterans in the Great Depression) and then orphaned in his late teens when his mother died of TB. And he came of age in New York City at a time when the New Deal was in full swing, Fiorello LaGuardia was mayor, the American Labor Party was a major force in city politics, labor unions were on the move, the Abraham Lincoln Brigade was organizing to fight fascism in Spain in the name of the Popular Front, and a militant anti-racist movement was growing that equated segregation at home with Nazism abroad that will eventually feed into the “Double V” campaign. Then he became a fine arts student. To be an artist in New York City in the 1930s was to be surrounded by the “Cultural Front.” We’re talking the WPA Arts and Theater Projects, Diego Rivera painting socialist murals in Rockefeller Center, Orson Welles turning Julius Caesar into an anti-fascist play and running an all-black Macbeth and “The Cradle Will Rock,” Paul Robeson was a major star, and so on. You couldn’t really be an artist and have escaped left-wing politics. And if a poor kid like Steve Rogers was going to college as a fine arts student, odds are very good that he was going to the City College of New York at a time when an 80% Jewish student body is organizing student trade unions, anti-fascist rallies, and the “New York Intellectuals” were busily debating Trotskyism vs. Stalinism vs. Norman Thomas Socialism vs. the New Deal in the dining halls and study carrels. And this Steve Rogers, who’s been exposed to all of what New York City has to offer, becomes an explicit anti-fascist. In the fall of 1940, over a year before Pearl Harbor, he first volunteers to join the army to fight the Nazis specifically. This isn’t an apolitical patriotism forged out of a sense that the U.S has been attacked; rather, Steve Rogers had come to believe that Nazism posed an existential threat to the America he believed in. New Deal America.” The whole article (he knocks on Mark Millar!):http://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2013/10/steven-attewell-steve-rogers-isnt-just-any-hero The Winter Soldier, in addition to its critique of the US military-industrial complex via exploding helicarrier, also puts Steve onscreen with Sam Wilson, possibly the superhero with the longest history of explicitly commenting on and confronting racism, race relations and racial tropes in his own writing. Sam Wilson would never put up with Ultimate Cap. New personal headcanon: Steve Rogers is a cousin of Fred Rogers (as in, Mister Rogers).

NEW CASTLE — Two residents escaped uninjured after a fire broke out at their Croton area home Friday. When New Castle firefighters arrived at 904 Woodland Ave., the front porch of the house was engulfed and flames had spread to the eaves, according to David Joseph, assistant fire chief. The department received the call at 12:40 p.m. The fire was basically confined to the front of the house, although the first and second floors suffered heavy smoke and water damage and the front room next to the porch had heat damage, according to the fire department. Mary Ann Wolfe said she had been asleep in the front room and was awakened when she “felt the intense heat,” fire officials reported. Tonya Crowe, who was asleep upstairs, was awakened by a smoke alarm, according to the fire department. The women were able to get their two dogs and a cat safely out of the house and called 911. “Everything I own is in that house,” Wolfe said. The city police department’s fire investigator believes the blaze was started by someone lighting a foam cushion on the porch furniture, according to Joseph.

Where can I find bulk spices? I found out today that Gentle Strength Co-op has closed (replaced with an Asian/Health food store). I always bought my spices in bulk at Gentle Strength as they were fresher and much much cheaper than buying spices in jars. Any other sources for bulk spices (hopefully not too far from East Valley area). (I have visited Penzeys which is nice too) Thanks! - Sprouts, Wild Oats, and Whole Foods all have various bulk spices. I don't know of any place that has a really good selection. I generally have hit several depending on what is on my list. Penzey's has a really good selection, but it's not sold in bulk. I do love Penzey's double-strength vanilla extract. :) - - Sprouts carries bulk spices but I"ve been buying my spices at Penzey's since they opened. - re: ziggylu - re: misohungrychewlow [[phy_address]] Scottsdale, AZ http://www.penzeys.com That's in the strip mall across Hayden from Carlsbad Tavern.

MAPLETON — — To Dick Sonnek, that old air compressor is actually a grasshopper. While most people think of junk as ugly, the Mapleton farmer turned artist finds inspiration in the discarded items he discovers in the scrap yard. Old street sweeping brushes look like eyebrows to Sonnek. A rusty tractor seat emerges as butterfly wings or turkey tails. “I’m fortunate that I have an eye for a piece that will work well to create art,” Sonnek said. “The ideas pop into my head all of a sudden.” That’s exactly what happened a few weeks ago in Mankato during one of his routine “scrap yard fixes.” Sonnek saw what probably was once a grate but is now a tangled crushed mass and immediately announced, “a horse.” Actually all he had was the horse’s mane. But scrounging through his endless piles of potential art parts from other forages, Sonnek came up with the other pieces for his sculpture. Just recently the 11-foot-tall, 3,000-pound horse emerged from Sonnek’s machine shed after 55 hours of work. Two old horse-drawn hay mowers make up the horse’s frame, one a Minnesota mower and the other a John Deere. The knees were once water pumps and the hooves are formed from the tops of oxygen welding cylinders. The different body parts of the stallion (it is anatomically correct) include a grain seeder end piece, part of an old walking plow, a pick ax head, a furnace door on hinges that opens, a 1937 Chevy rim that rotates and an engine piston. The tail is made from a cow stanchion. Junk art specialty This form of art is called junk art or found art, sometimes outsider art. And it is what Sonnek is talented at crafting. He can take an ordinary machine part or discarded tool and make it into an extraordinary piece of art.

I Like And Hate It Turns out I do have hyperactive tentancies so now yeah I have adhd, probably had it for my entire life and never even knew. I manage pretty well handling it on my own overall, just battle the forgetfulness and the 2000 random thoughts at once kinda thing lol. Mostly the forgetfulness and focus side of things are problematic. I kinda got over the 2000 thoughts at once thing. Specially since Im going to university next year and I cant stuff around, so meds for me even though Id rather not but I guess I dont have a choice. Oh well so be it. Thats the side I dont like. The side I do like is all the ideas I have and how it sets me apart from everyone else. I discovered I had ADHD when I went back to school at age 33. Take the meds. It makes the long concentration periods sooo much easier. I was so excited the day I was able to sit for 4 hours drafting at a computer and actually work at detailed stuff. Before my meds, I only lasted 15 minutes. Also, ADHD is considered a 'mental disability' with the schools and I was able to sit my exams with time extensions because of my concentration difficulties. Contact the counsellors. My suggestion is buy a tape recorder and tape the classes. Use your calendar and put in lots of reminders. I found days when I couldn't even remember I went to a class or I had a mid term that day. I had reminders posted in my locker, in my binders, asked friends to remind me, in my phone. I tried to finish all my work in class if possible because I forgot if I didn't or couldn't sit down long enough to concentrate. Also, ask lots of questions and reword your questions if you have to until you understand. Ask them to explain in diagrams or physically. You will find you understand a lot better.
A pigeon slowly flaps its way through Freeport City before disappearing in a cloud of bird blood. One hoodlum compliments another on his shot, before having a laugh about a cop he shot in the head. "Ha ha ha!" he says. "Ha Ha Ha!" the other agrees. "Surprise!" shouts John R Blade, head of gun-toting security firm HardCorps, as his chopper descends from the sky and bullets fi ll the air. The year is 1998 and we're playing SiN - the game that wasn't Half-Life. "We've wanted to return to the SiN universe for years now," explains Steve Nix, CEO of Ritual Entertainment, when probed on the lengthy absence of Blade and his busty nemesis Elexis Sinclaire. "But given the importance of the franchise to the studio, it had to be under the right circumstances. SiN is our pride and joy and we really wanted to do it right." REMEMBER ME? As every year has passed, memories of SiNTEK, human experiments, ATM machines that you could fiddle with and Sinclaire's chest have grown dimmer and dimmer in the gaming community. Now is the time, however for HardCorps' return. To start the ball rolling, a viral marketing campaign was kicked off at www.legionpharma.com and www.sinclairetechnologies.com - giving a strong indication that there was either an exceptionally fanboy-ish group of scientists on the loose, or that SiNTEK were once more up to no good. Then came surprising news: Black Mesa and Freeport City, 1998's alpha and omega, were to become bedfellows. "We'd been talking with Valve for several years about distributing a product directly to gamers through Steam, and then the light bulb came on," explains Nix. "We had worked on so many new designs, characters and interesting moments for the next SiN game, that it all came together really quickly once we made the decision to go." And so it is that Source-formed episodes of shootery that last six or so hours each are set to start appearing for purchase in your Steam tray at regular intervals for the next few years. Blade's chunky magnum pistol is back, his hacker sidekick JC is back, Sinclaire is back and Blade himself is back - now accompanied by a pneumatic young lady called Jessica Cannon. It's four years after SiN and our hero still hasn't been able to prove that Sinclaire is behind the worrying upward trend of mutant-ness in Freeport City. "Blade has become nearly obsessed with bringing her justice and he'll stop at nothing to achieve that. SiN Episodes opens with Blade and Jessica on their way to raid a rumoured U4 lab - a seemingly routine mission that soon enough goes quite wrong," explains Steve Hessel, Ritual's community relations man, providing the back story for a later car chase that has a seriously wounded Blade slipping in and out of consciousness, while an AI Jessica Cannon weaves in and out of traffic pursued by ne'er-do-wells. COMMUTER RUN "We've done so much to make it just over-the-top cool," explains lead designer Shawn Ketcherside, picking up the thread. "The car itself, for example, is incredibly interactive. You can roll the windows up and down, change the radio station, and with every action Jessica will respond. Then we've got the car combat, which is just unbelievably cool. You can shift positions in the car, really move around to find the best shots. It's the closest thing to being in an action movie I've ever seen in a game." So we're fighting on roads, that much is definite, and mutant laboratories are probably high on the list as well. But what else does Freeport City have to offer? "Freeport City is a rough amalgam of modern cities with rich histories like Seattle, New York, Chicago and San Francisco," explains Rich Fleider, the art lead, as he describes the SiN universe's multi-layered and decaying coastline sprawl. "In this first episode, we're showcasing a slice of Freeport society, allowing the player to explore a high-rise complex under construction, the secret warrens of one of the City's organised crime families, and even the gritty shipping district that gives Freeport its name. A system of elevated roadways for commuters and commerce links these communities together, under the overlapping jurisdiction of competing Security Forces." Going for roughly 11 and kicking off this winter, there's a multitude of other reasons why SiN Episodes: Emergence has got us excited - not least some ace gameplay-heightening feats of interactivity, community-dictated plot and development, and some neat tricks that allow the Source engine to hit parts that even Freeman couldn't reach. Seeing as we're such wags though, we've split our coverage into two episodes - so you'll have to wait until next month. Damn, we're good.
Focused On The Love. Despite “love” being all too frequently attached to baked goods, caffeine and songs about rainbows; I am bravely going there. I know exactly what I love. I love working with people (some are clearly more lovable than others… I’m realistic). It ultimately comes down to an eye-to-eye moment of clarity and connection. It’s about making images that don’t imitate, but rather illuminate a person, a place, an instant. My commercial work ranges from product and fashion to editorial, assignment and family portraiture. In addition, there’s a very special place in my photog heart for teaching. Instructing others, of all experience levels, is a highly rewarding part of my photographic passion. I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it!
Here's what to do when the veterinarian at your clinic doesn't believe in pain management. After a recent talk I gave in Las Vegas, a veterinarian came up to the podium and told me she'd been considering applying to law school. No team member should have to deal with that verbal abuse. It's time to take the veterinarian aside. A new study says that active retaliation against your boss is more serious than withholding knowledge. The following is a letter sent in by a veterinarian. Let us know if you can relate—or think the receptionist deserves a break. Survey Results: Are veterinary technicians valued? My well-meaning boss will frequently say to a team member who isn't performing up to par, "You should be more like (another employee)." I've seen the team member not only take offense to the boss's statement but also feel resentment toward the other employee for being the favorite. Does this management approach have any real positives? Ask Shawn: Communicating to change a control freak Receptionists, remove the obstacles that prevent you from being considered part of your practice's healthcare team.
The first flop of Jackie’s new career had just happened. Dragon Lord, his previous martial arts movie, had gone out of control and failed at the box office. People were disappointed and the shine was off Chan’s golden boy status. He needed a hit. He and his screenwriter Edward Tang put their heads together and tried to think of what to do. While Chan sunk into a depression, Tang went to the movies, watching Raiders of the Lost Ark again and again. Then he came to Jackie with his idea: no more kung fu, instead how about a movie with pirates, and cops, and the coast guard, and swashbuckling action, and giant stunts. Inspired by the novelty, Chan went for it, and realizing that it was a massive risk he recruited his two brothers from opera school: big brother Sammo Hung, and little brother Yuen Biao. The result is a movie that crackles like lightning. It may be 30 years old, but it still feels new. Chan plays Dragon Ma, a freewheeling coast guard sailor patrolling the pirate-infested waters of 19th century Hong Kong who finds himself out of a job when the entire fleet burns down. Transferred to the police department, Chan and his laidback coast guard buddies find themselves butting heads with the uptight, very British police force, led by the commander’s nephew, played by Yuen Biao. In an attempt to get a promotion, Chan teams up with a conman (Sammo Hung) to steal a load of rifles and then take credit for the arrest, but things go wrong and a boatload of colonial officials are kidnapped by pirates. PROJECT A is powered by pure inspiration. When Jackie realized he didn’t have money for big stunts, he found a bunch of bicycles and staged an alley chase that has become a classic. This is the first time Chan went in for big stunts and they are insane, including a fall from a clock tower that took him three days to muster the courage to make. Dick Wei is on hand as the pirate king who turns up for the big final battle, leading to a new career for this brawler who would become a favorite Jackie Chan bad guy. But the real beauty onscreen is in the chemistry between Jackie and his brothers, Sammo and Yuen. The three of them have fallen out with each other over the years, patched things up, and fallen out again, but they all grew up with the same master, with the same training, in the same school, at the same time. When they act together onscreen it’s like being privy to a family rumble, and when they fight it’s as real brothers. The way they anticipate each other’s moves, work with each other’s bodies, and complement each other so well is a thing of beauty. Never again would they be this in synch. While PROJECT A captures the transformation of Jackie Chan into a director of more than just martial arts movies, it also captures the powerful bond between these three brothers. It’s enough to bring you to tears when you’re not busy picking your jaw up off the floor.
As a result, the new law redefines the legal definition of "disabled" from an impairment that "substantially limits" one or more life activities to an impairment that "materially restricts" these activities. With this change in definition, more American workers are included in the ADA's protected class, even those who have disabilities that are not apparent. "Now what kind of person on the Supreme Court of the United States has some difficulty understanding that if you have to use a hearing aid, that does not lessen the nature of the disability?" said Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee in a recent AP article. With a strengthened ADA in place, “people with epilepsy, diabetes, cancer, cerebral palsy, and developmental disabilities are in a situation where they would be considered disabled if they did not take medication, but might not qualify for ADA protection if they did,” said Rep. Betty Sutton, D-Ohio. 2006.
EL PASO, Texas - Nine-year-old Matthew Olivas, Jr. from El Paso underwent the first artificial heart surgery at a children's hospital in Dallas this week. Matthew was born with a heart condition called Ebstein's anomaly, which is a deformation of the heart. A year ago when his kidneys started to weaken, doctors in Dallas decided to bring him in for a valve replacement. When Matthew went in for surgery on Oct. 17, the surgery did not go smoothly at all. The El Paso boy went into cardiac arrest for a few minutes. "At one point I lost my little boy," said Matt Olivas, Matthew's father. "It was hard, to feel like that is something I never want to feel again." The doctors then decided to start the artificial heart process and put him on a Syncardia machine. "It's a fully functional mechanical heart which actually replaced his heart completely and gave my son another chance," Olivas said. Although Matthew may not wake up for another week, doctors said he is stable and the next step is a heart transplant. "Words wouldn't explain what I feel for these doctors," said Olivas. Olivas hopes Matthew's case is only the beginning of saving more children's lives. "I'll never be able to know what my son is going through right now ," Olivas said. " But one day it will be a story to tell, and he'll be able to tell it. He can teach other little kids that are going through the same thing," If you would like to help out the family medical costs, checks can be made out to the Olivas family at Wells Fargo Bank.

HARTFORD, CT–Four days after the arrival of a shipment of office supplies from Staples, P&K Insurance office manager Patty Hildebrandt, 41, remains ambivalent about Sharpie's new "Twin-Tip" double-ended permanent marker. "Putting a fine tip and a broad tip on the same pen is very convenient, not to mention cost-effective," Hildebrandt said Tuesday. "Still, neither of the twin tips really works as well as a single-ended marker, probably because they're sharing the same ink." Hildebrandt recently took a strong stand against 3M's accordion-style Post-It notes, calling them "an abomination."

Our quilt retreat came to an end Sunday after lunch. It was a beautiful day so DH decided we would take a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway and see some of the trails he had run while I was sewing. What a beautiful drive it turned out to be. The colors were starting to come out and the views were wonderful. What a great way to spend a week. I'm looking forward to doing it again next year. Hope you have enjoyed sharing a part of my little vacation. We finished up our ride Thursday about lunch, had a picnic lunch at the trail head before heading off to Camp Cheerio. It is about an hour drive and thanks to Constance (our GPS) we took the scenic route. We arrived about [[phy_address]] feel the stress leave my body as we passed through the gate at the end of the drive. There have been some changes to the camp. They have added an open air chapel since last year. And the view at sunset is just stunning. The view from the dinning hall is still fabulous. The Y-guides were there with us Saturday, but we rarely saw them except at meals. This was father/child camp and we enjoyed watching some of their activities. They all had their tribe names on their tables, so we chose some for ours. We were the "Dances with Wools", the "Runs with Scissors", and "So Sew Me" tribes We had the entire upper floor of the Sloan Center again this year. Lots of space, all the tables we needed, large covered porch all the way around, big screen tv with leather couches for the hubbies, wireless internet, use of all the camp facilities (canoes, basket ball, Frisbee golf, fishing, horses, ropes challenge course, climbing wall, tennis courts, soccer field, archery, and hiking trails) if we wanted them. Of course the hubbies made use of some of them, we ladies just wanted to sew. We did have lots of show and tell going on. This was a row robin one of the ladies brought and was one of my favorites. And of course we had to play some games. This is Left, Right, Center (a dice game) played for HSTs we had made before hand. Saturday was our version of Sisters. We hung up our show and tell quilts and projects we had completed at camp. One of the dads with the Y-guides tried to talk Jennifer into selling 2 of her quilts. And this year we made a bookshelf wall hanging and donated it to the camp for the director's office. DH went for some trail runs while I was busy sewing away. I did get the camp quilt put together and assembled blocks I brought into 4 tops (for ME) which are in line to be quilted. Sunday morning we put the final touches on our pieces, then packed up and left after lunch. That is always a sad time. We had 5 that had never been to one of our retreats and 6 returning quilters. Two of us have made it to all 4. It is almost like a family reunion now, we miss the ones who couldn't make it and keep them updated with daily posts and pictures of our events. The hubbies all managed to occupy themselves and seemed to have enough things in common for some lively discussions. There is talk of making it Wed - Sun next year. I'll be there! Tomorrow, the drive home. Thursday morning would have to be a short ride. We were due at the quilt retreat between 3 and 4, and it was about an hour drive. So we decided to just ride from Galax since the hotel was about 1/[[phy_address]] head. We had ridden this part last time, but it is absolutely beautiful, so who cares. We got in 23 miles, and met some wonderful people from Mt Airy, NC at the junction. While this is still called the New River Trail, it is actually along Chestnut Creek. Most of the trail is open to horses, although we didn't see any. There is a camping area at Cliffview that has stalls for horse camping. We startled some deer along the way. The rail road used to end at Chestnut Yard, short of Galax, but was extended. You can still see the rim of the turntable. There is a beautiful waterfall along the trail. There are also other hiking trails that come out in the same area. There is a short tunnel close to the junction. There are more bridges, some of them are quite long. We made it back to the trail head, and the truck was still there. For us, that means a successful trip. Tomorrow, the quilt retreat. We finished up the VA Creeper trail Tuesday and left for our next B&B in Fries, but it was closed and locked up. So we went to Galax and got a room. That caused us to re-arrange our rides a bit, so Wed we decided to go to Foster Falls and ride to Dora Junction (almost to Pulaski). The weather was much nicer, cool and windy, but no rain. The New River is actually one of the oldest rivers in the world, and runs north. We saw only 4 cyclists, no hikers or horses on the ride. How nice of VA to provide such a lovely trail just for us! There is a nice state park at the trail head at Foster Falls with a shop in the station, but since we were off season, it was closed when we were there. We found a fixer upper for our retirement, and it is for sale! There were a lot of interesting rock formations. Note the bike on the left for scale. And more lovely bridges along the way. And a lot of amazing views. We made it to Dora Junction! One of the old signals is still standing. More of the trail. There is a stable at the park, and the New River runs right past it. Today's ride was 43 miles. We spent the night in Galax again and rode another section of the New River Trail on Thursday before going to the quilt retreat. More later. In 2007 the members of the Quilt Forum on Garden Web Home Site decided we wanted to get together and actually meet one another. So, one of them set up a retreat at Camp Cheerio in Roaring Gap, NC. We arrive on Thursday afternoon and stay till Sunday lunch. What a wonderful thing she did for us, but more on that later. The first year DH had just gotten us a tandem mountain bike. I said he was crazy, but we took it and went up early for the quilt retreat. We rode part of the VA Creeper, a Rails to Trails trail. It was mid October, leaves were beautiful, weather was damp and cool, but not bad. What a wonderful time we had. Then the retreat was on his week to work for 2 years and he didn't get to make it back. This year they made sure to schedule it on his week off, so we went up on Monday and did some rides. Monday we finished the section of the Creeper we had started (11 miles total), then Tuesday we rode from Damascas to Whitetop (19 miles, all up hill) and back (19 miles, all down hill). Monday was great, Tuesday we froze our tushies off. But it was a great ride, and I would love to do it again. Monday we started in Damascus and headed toward Abingdon. Didn't have long to ride, but still got in about 11 miles. > We stayed at the Apple Tree Inn Inn in Damascus. Thanks Deb for a wonderful time. Then Tuesday we set off from Damascus to Whitetop. The day started great, then it started to rain and get colder. But we finished and had a great time. We finished up and headed for our next stop, Fries, VA. However, due to a glitch with our B&B reservations (it was locked up) we had to change our plans and went to Galax, VA for the evening. Tomorrow, our ride on the New River Trail.

Panel considers casino firms’ Macau dealings BOSTON — Few Massachusetts residents may be familiar with Macau, but the Chinese administrative region that has become the most lucrative gambling market in the world has caught the eye of state regulators as they complete background checks on two casino companies. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission is considering whether MGM Resorts International and Wynn Resorts are suitable casino businesses for the state. The Gaming Commission has scheduled a hearing for MGM today and for Wynn Resorts on Dec. 16. The two companies have already won approval from their host communities — Wynn in Everett in June and MGM in Springfield in July. Their operations in Macau also have been scrutinized by New Jersey or U.S. regulatory agencies in instances unrelated to Massachusetts. But as American companies have rushed to capitalize in Macau — where total gambling revenues are expected to easily top $40 billion this year, more than six times that of the Las Vegas Strip — regulators in the U.S. have raised questions about these businesses’ compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. “It says U.S. companies have to act like they are in America when they are dealing in foreign countries,” said Steve Norton, an Indiana-based gambling consultant and former casino executive. Norton said the Massachusetts commission will have to decide how any issues it might find in a company’s Macau operations would relate to casino operations in the state, but he doubts the regulators will find either Wynn or MGM unsuitable. “If there is a major problem, then I think the commission would go to them and say, ‘This is an issue. You have to get rid of it,’” Norton said. The two companies were the first resort casino developers in Massachusetts to win approval from their host communities. The background checks, by the commission’s investigative arm, and the panel’s “suitability” decision are among the final hurdles for the few casino applicants that remain viable in Massachusetts.

Get Sport24 on your mobile Johannesburg - Test cricket will "soon" return to its traditional slot between Christmas and New Year after fans protested about the scrapping of the fixture in 2012, Cricket South Africa (CSA) said on Thursday. "We've clearly noted the concerns and it was heart-warming to see such a passion for Test cricket being expressed," CSA acting chief executive Jacques Faul told Reuters. "It shows that there is still a great following for Test cricket and that's something we must not just take for granted. We made a mistake in not explaining the reasons for the move better." The 2012 'Boxing Day test' has been replaced by a T[[phy_address]] New Zealand in Port Elizabeth, with CSA citing low crowd numbers, poor performances in recent years and a desire to allow players to spend time at home over Christmas as reasons for the decision. Faul, however, said broadcasters were also unhappy about the change and it would be a one-off. "We're going to have to take Test cricket more seriously and I can see the Boxing Day Test definitely being played again soon," he said. The Proteas have lost their last four home Boxing Day Tests, against Sri Lanka, India, England and Australia.

. 52° Nearby Haerter Medal Supporters: Call Obama Organizer of latest petition asks that those who want the hero Marine to get the Medal of Honor also leave a message at the White House. Posted by Taylor K. Vecsey (Editor) , Joi Jackson Perle, a Wainscott resident who got a second petition going last week, is encouraging supporters to call the White House and leave a message that they want to see Haerter, and his fellow Marine Corporal Jonathan Yale, Burkeville, Va, recognized for their heroism in Iraq. Haerter was just 19 when he was killed. "I am suggesting a call in day to make the White House, as well as the elected officials from New York and Virginia aware of what we are petitioning them about," said Perle, who has been spreading her message on a Facebook age dedicated to the call in campaign. "There's strength in numbers for sure." She asked that people call the White House on Wednesday at (202) 456-[[phy_address]] a comment with one of the operators, asking that the President award the Medal of Honor to Jordan Haerter and Jonathan Yale. Her petition, on Change.org, has 1,800 signatures as of Wednesday morning, she said. "Change.org reached out and wanted to feature the story in an email to other change.org members and we picked up 700 new signers after that email went out," she said. Perle said she doesn't have a specific goal in mind for the petition, though she said she'd like to see 10,000 signatures. Haerter and Yale were killed when a truck packed with 2,000 pounds of explosives that was speeding through a serpentine of concrete barriers on April 22, 2008. The bomb detonated, but their quick actions saved the lives of 150 Marines and Iraqi soldiers at the Joint Security Station Nasser in Ramadi. The previous petition, on Petitions.WhiteHouse.gov, was started by an unknown person in Virginia sometime last month. It failed to garner its goal of 100,000. Haerter's parents didn't even know about the original petition until just before Christmas, less than three weeks before the deadline. However, there has always been a small movement to see that Haerter receives the Medal of Honor, his mother, Jo Ann Lyles told Patch in December. To sign the petition on Change.org, click here.

Jacksonville, AL (Sports Network) - Brian Williams scored 17 points, including the game-winning pair of free throws in the waning seconds, as the Jacksonville State Gamecocks outlasted the Murray State Racers, 65-64, in Ohio Valley Conference action at Pete Mathews Coliseum. Ronnie Boggs and Tarvin Gaines scored 13 points apiece, while Mason Leggett had 12 points for Jacksonville State (15-5, 6-2 OVC), which has won back-to- back games. For Murray State (15-5, 6-2), Isaiah Canaan scored 20 points, Ed Daniel tallied a double-double with 10 points and 17 rebounds, while Stacy Wilson chipped in 16 points. Jacksonville State took a 30-21 lead at intermission after it outshot Murray State from the field in the first half, 46.2 percent to 37.5 percent. The Racers would not go away quietly, gradually chipping away at their deficit before taking their first lead of the second half, 64-63, on a Brandon Garrett bucket with nine seconds remaining. The Gamecocks took advantage on their final possession however, as Williams drilled two clutch free throws to lift them to victory. Jacksonville State outscored Murray State from the foul line, 20-14. With so much talk in college football surrounding the Northwestern University players' attempt at unionizing, the focus of discussion has swayed heavily in the direction of annual salaries for football players.

The fractious coalition of centre-right and moderate left parties in office since 1996 gained a new prime minister at the end of 1999. When he took office, Mugur Isarescu, governor of the central bank since 1990, had only a few months to draw up an economic strategy for the period 2000–06 in order to prepare Romania for accession to the European Union (EU). Isarescu won praise for persuading the Social Democratic Party of Romania (PDSR), the main opposition party, to endorse a policy committing Romania to a steady shift toward a market economy. Enjoying a runaway lead in the opinion polls, the PDSR was committed to an economic strategy drawn up in conjunction with officials from the EU, World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at variance with its own left-wing instincts. A modest economic recovery after three years of recession was retarded by the most severe drought in 50 years and a consequent poor harvest, necessitating costly cereal imports. With up to 40% of the population suffering from absolute poverty, Romanians exhibited strong disillusionment with the major parties. Many now viewed them as a separate caste whose primary aim was to protect special corporate interests rather than the common good. A disenchanted Pres. Emil Constantinescu, who had failed to fulfill his reformist agenda because of obstruction from the courts, the bureaucracy, and many of his nominal supporters, announced on July 17 that he would not run for a second term. Prime Minister Isarescu tried and failed to rally the divided centre-right when he ran as a candidate for president. On November 26, in simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections, the PDSR triumphed. It won a near majority of seats and its leader, 71-year-old Ion Iliescu took office for his third term as president on December 21. The most attention was paid, however, to the remarkable success of the Greater Romania Party (RPM), which reconciled the extremes of left and right and had its roots in the pre-1989 dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu. Corneliu Vadim Tudor, one of the most skillful demagogues in Eastern Europe, secured 30% of the vote in the presidential poll, and his party rose from nowhere to acquire 25% of parliamentary seats. Adrian Nastase, installed as prime minister on December 28, was a 50-year-old modernizer. He signed a pact with the centre-right to oppose extremism and pass vital reforms, a rare example of cooperation between the mainstream parties. Nastase needed backing from the EU and IMF for a strategy that involved dismantling unproductive parts of the state-led economy while providing a social safety net for millions of Romanians likely to be affected by industrial closures. - American Industry and Innovation - History: Fact or Fiction? - Physics: Fact or Fiction? - Human Exploration: From Earth to Space - Traveler's Guide to Europe - Australia: Fact or Fiction? - Passage to India - Characteristics of the Human Body - Technological Ingenuity - Science: Fact or Fiction? - Exploring Asia: Fact or Fiction? - Electronics & Gadgets Quiz - Early Aviation - Wartime Germany: Fact or Fiction? - Exploring Malaysia: Fact or Fiction? - Mohandas Gandhi: Fact or Fiction? - Exploring French History - Scientists and Inventors: Fact or Fiction? - 7 Women Warriors - 7 Alphabet Soup Agencies that Stuck Around - When Losers Finish First: Top 10 Second Place “Victories” - Exploring 7 of Earth's Great Mountain Ranges - A Model of the Cosmos - 9 Fun Facts About Sleep - 10 Articles of Clothing That Deserve a Comeback - The Six Deadliest Earthquakes since 1950 - The Perils of Industry: 10 Notable Accidents and Catastrophes - All Things Blue--10 Things Blue in Your Face - 10 Places to Visit in the Solar System - 7 Monarchs with Unfortunate Nicknames - 11 Historical Head Turners - 6 Common Infections We Wish Never Existed - 10 Places in (and around) Paris - 7 Thingamabobs (Probably) on Einstein's Desk - Christening Pluto's Moons - 5 Wacky Facts about the Births and Deaths of U.S. Presidents Do you know anything more about this topic that you’d like to share?

Child actor Patrick Gibbons, who famously wore the Spiderman costume through several episodes of “One Life to Live” during the soaps final year on ABC, while portraying Sam Manning on the soap, is returning to the series when it resumes production later this month under Prospect Park’s TOLN, the actors twitter account confirmed today. Prospect Park announced today that it will begin production on Monday, February 25 on both “All My Children” and “One Life to Live.” Principal production for both programs will take place in Stamford, Connecticut as expected. The company did not release additional casting notices, despite Cady McClain announcing she had signed on for the “AMC” reboot. The company expects to release additional casting notices in the coming days and weeks. You can now add Cady McClain to the already confirmed list of stars returning to “All My Children.” The actress announced via her official website that she has been contacted by Prospect Park for their “AMC” reboot, which is set to premiere sometime this spring (likely April) via Hulu and iTunes. “I am very excited about the possibilities for the show in this medium and want to help give it every chance at success,” the actress said in a statement. “As you probably know by now, I am fascinated with all the many possibilities for creative expression that the Internet has to offer. I have a feeling the show will find many new opportunities for connecting with fans and I look forward to being a part of that as well,” she added. Prospect Park’s much anticipated online revival of long-running soaps “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” continues to inch closer to reality as both shows are scheduled to go into production in the coming weeks ahead of their excepted launch dates on Hulu (and iTunes) sometime in April. Just a short time ago, Prospect Park released the following statement to Soap Opera Network regarding the latest developments surrounding its discussions with Disney/ABC Domestic Television and the use of the characters Starr Manning, Todd Manning and John McBain. According to the company, shortly after deciding to postpone production of “All My Children” and “One Life to Live,” they made an agreement with ABC that would allow “General Hospital” to utilize the characters so that they could “stay alive with the fans and also so that the actors could remain working.” The company also tells Soap Opera Network that “Everyone at ABC and on the production staff of ‘General Hospital’ understood that this was a temporary arrangement until production started once again on ‘One Life to Live.’ Now the time has come to start production and Prospect Park needs to, once again, cast these characters including Llanview transplants Michael Easton (John) and Kristen Alderson (Starr).” In a report by BroadcastEngineering.com, “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” will both begin production on Monday, February 25 for their online incarnations, which are set to premiere sometime in April exclusively on Hulu. NEP Broadcasting, LLC is currently constructing studio space for both series in an old factory in Connecticut, the website says. This would indicate that despite reports stating otherwise, neither show will be filming at the Stamford Media Center, where “Maury” is filmed. Despite Michael Easton‘s announcement early this morning, where he stated that after February 8th he would be exiting “General Hospital,” along with Roger Howarth and Kristen Alderson, due to “some ongoing legal this and that,” an ABC spokesperson tells Soap Opera Network that all three will remain an essential part of the “GH” canvas for the foreseeable future as the three are under contract with the network and not Prospect Park. “‘General Hospital’ is excited about Michael Easton, Kristen Alderson and Roger Howarth staying on the show and we are exploring ways to allow that to happen,” read a statement from ABC, which did not provide further input on how the series would accomplish just that. Previously, the network stated, “There are on-going collaborative conversations,” in response to word that Prospect Park wanted to return the characters of Starr Manning (Alderson), Todd Manning (Howarth) and John McBain (Easton) to Llanview after formerly announcing it’s decision to re-launch “One Life to Live” later this spring. The production company licensed the rights to “OLTL’s” characters in July 2011 in a long-term distribution agreement between it and Disney/ABC Domestic Television, part of the Disney/ABC Television Group. Although her name was among fifteen “One Life” cast members listed in a press release last week from Prospect Park as joining the online version of “OLTL,” Erika Slezak (Viki) confirmed the news today with a statement on her official website. Telling fans that she is “pleased” to join the upcoming online version of the show when production begins “near the middle of March,” the six-time Daytime Emmy winner says the new show will be “an exciting and groundbreaking adventure” and that she hopes fans will tune in. In a short video message on his Facebook page, “One Life’s” new co-head writer Thom Racina vows to fans that he and his fellow scribe Susan Bedsow Horgan will deliver on Prospect Park’s promise to breath “new themes, fresh stars and youthful energy” into the 43-year-old soap, saying “we’re gonna do it!” Prospect Park’s plan to blend “new themes, fresh stars and youthful energy” along with the familiar actors and writers of yesteryear for its version of Agnes Nixon‘s “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” is beginning to settle in. According to a newly released audition script, the company is looking for a brand new “face” for the “One Life” canvas as the show’s original title “Between Heaven and Hell” becomes all the more real.
