"The Death of the Moth, and other essays"
"HENRY JAMES: 1. WITHIN THE RIM"
By Virginia Woolf
Written in 1919
"It would be easy to justify the suspicion which the sight of WITHIN THE RIM aroused, and to make it account for the tepid and formal respect with which we own to have approached the book. Essays about the war contributed to albums and books with a charitable object even by the most distinguished of writers bear for the most part such traces of perfunctory composition, such evidence of genius forcibly harnessed to the wagon of philanthropy and sullen and stubborn beneath the lash, that one is inclined for the sake of the writer to leave them unread. But we should not have said this unless we intended immediately and completely to unsay it. The process of reading these essays was a process of recantation. It is possible that the composition of some of them was an act of duty, in the sense that the writing of a chapter of a novel was not an act of duty. But the duty was imposed upon Henry James not by the persuasions of a committee nor by the solicitations of friends, but by a power much more commanding and irresistible—a power so large and of such immense significance to him that he scarcely succeeds with all his range of expression in saying what it was or all that it meant to him. It was Belgium, it was France, it was above all England and the English tradition, it was everything that he had ever cared for of civilization, beauty and art threatened with destruction and arrayed before his imagination in one figure of tragic appeal.
Perhaps no other elderly man existed in August 1914 so well qualified to feel imaginatively all that the outbreak of war meant as Henry James. For years he had been appreciating ever more and more finely what he calls "the rare, the sole, the exquisite England": he had relished her discriminatingly as only the alien, bred to different sounds and sights and circumstances, could relish others so distinct and so delightful in their distinctness. Knowing so well what she had given him, he was the more tenderly and scrupulously grateful to her for the very reason that she seemed to him to bestow her gifts half in ignorance of their value. Thus when the news came that England was in danger he wandered in the August sunshine half overwhelmed with the vastness of what had happened, reckoning up his debt, conscious to the verge of agony of the extent to which he had committed his own happiness to her, and analysing incessantly and acutely just what it all meant to the world and to him. At first, as he owned, he had "an elderly dread of a waste of emotion . . . my house of the spirit amid everything around me had become more and more the inhabited, adjusted, familiar home"; but before long he found himself
building additions and upper storeys, throwing out extensions and protrusions, indulging even, all recklessly, in gables and pinnacles and battlements—things that had presently transformed the unpretending place into I scarce know what to call it, a fortress of the faith, a palace of the soul, an extravagant, bristling, flag–flying structure which had quite as much to do with the air as with the earth.
In a succession of images not to be torn from their context he paints the state of his mind confronted by one aspect after another of what appeared to him in so many diverse lights of glory and of tragedy. His gesture as of one shrinking from the sight of the distress, combined with an irresistible instinct of pity drawing him again and again to its presence, recalls to the present writer his reluctance to take a certain road in Rye because it led past the workhouse gates and forced to his notice the dismal line of tramps waiting for admittance. But in the case of the wounded and the fugitive his humanity forced him again and again to face the sight, and brought him the triumphant reward of finding that the beauty emerging from such conditions more than matched the squalor. ". . . their presence," he wrote of the wounded soldier, "is a blest renewal of faith."
A moralist perhaps might object that terms of beauty and ugliness are not the terms in which to speak of so vast a catastrophe, nor should a writer exhibit so keen a curiosity as to the tremors and vibrations of his own spirit in face of the universal calamity. Yet, of all books describing the sights of war and appealing for our pity, this largely personal account is the one that best shows the dimensions of the whole. It is not merely or even to any great extent that we have been stimulated intellectually by the genius of Henry James to analyse shades and subtleties; but rather that for the first and only time, so far as we are aware, someone has reached an eminence sufficiently high above the scene to give it its grouping and standing in the universal. Read, for instance, the scene of the arrival of the Belgian refugees by night at Rye, which we will not curtail and thus rob of its completeness. It is precisely the same little scene of refugees hurrying by in silence, save for the cry of a woman carrying her child, which, in its thousand varieties, a thousand pens have depicted during the past four years. They have done their best, and left us acknowledging their effort, but feeling it to be a kind of siege or battering ram laid to the emotions, which have obstinately refused to yield their fruits. That it is altogether otherwise with the scene painted for us by Henry James might perhaps be credited to his training as a novelist. But when, in his stately way, diminishing his stature not one whit and majestically rolling the tide of his prose over the most rocky of obstacles, he asks us for the gift of a motor–car, we cannot help feeling that if all philanthropies had such advocates our pockets would never be anything but empty. It is not that our emotions have been harassed by the sufferings of the individual case. That he can do upon occasion with beautiful effect. But what he does in this little book of less than a hundred and twenty pages is, so it seems to us, to present the best statement yet made of the largest point of view. He makes us understand what civilization meant to him and should mean to us. For him it was a spirit that overflowed the material bounds of countries, but it is in France that he sees it most plainly personified:
. . . what happens to France happens to all that part of ourselves which we are most proud, and most finely advised, to enlarge and cultivate and consecrate. . . . She is sole and single in this, that she takes charge of those of the 'interests' of man which most dispose him to fraternize with himself, to pervade all his possibilities and to taste all his faculties, and in consequence to find and to make the earth a friendlier, an easier, and especially a more various sojourn.
If all our counselors, we cannot help exclaiming, had spoken with that voice!"

Machine and person: reconstructing Harry Collins's categories.Walter B. Gulick - forthcoming - AI and Society.details
Are there aspects of human intelligence that artificial intelligence cannot emulate? Harry Collins uses a distinction between tacit aspects of knowing, which cannot be digitized, and explicit aspects, which can be, to formulate an answer to this question. He postulates three purported areas of the tacit and argues that only "collective tacit knowing" cannot be adequately digitized. I argue, first, that Collins's approach rests upon problematic Cartesian assumptions—particularly his claim that animal knowing is strictly deterministic and, thus, radically different from (...) human knowing. I offer evidence that human linguistic intelligence depends upon embodied forms of animal intelligence. Second, I suggest the development of deep-learning algorithms means that Collins's mimesis assumption is no longer appropriate; equivalent accomplishment of goals is what counts. However, persons must realize and integrate many goals and also deal with failures; a general-purpose AI capable of integrating all the needs and goals of human existence resists development. Third, I explain how Michael Polanyi's understanding of tacit knowing, quite different than Collins's concept of the tacit, exemplifies features that are missing in contemporary AI. I make use of evolutionary theory, studies of animal intelligence, biological insights, individual construction of meaning, and notions of human responsibility to argue for the existence of three categories that distinguish human from artificial intelligence.

Signals, Schemas, Subsidiaries, and Skills: Articulating the Inarticulate.Walter B. Gulick - 2006 - Tradition and Discovery 33 (3):44-62.details
This essay examines Michael Polanyi's notion of tacit knowing and seeks to clarify and elaborate upon its claims. Tacit knowing, which is conscious although inarticulate, must be distinguished from tacit processes, which are largely unconscious. Schematization is explored as a primary tacit process that humans share with all animals. This tacit process organizes and secures, in long-term memory, information of interest provided by receptors and those learned skifls conducive to survival. Human empirical knowing integrates schematized subsidiaries info articulate explicitness through (...) culturally-embedded symbols evoked in terms of felt fittingness. (shrink)

Prolegomena to a Polanyian Theory of Practice: A Critique of Stephen Turner's Account. [REVIEW]Walter B. Gulick - 1998 - Tradition and Discovery 25 (1):6-11.details
Stephen Turner explores the social dimensions of practices, probing to see if the notion of a shared practice can be understood as a cause or mechanism whereby knowledge arises and is used. When he concludes that practices are not some mysterious collective object but are best explained as individual habits, he thereby rejects an attenuated notion of practice and replaces it with a needlessly atomistic notion in which habits carry the full burden of explanation. Turner makes use of aspects of (...) Polanyi's thought, but this article suggests ways in which a fuller appropriation of Polanyian insights can salvage a social, telic notion of practices that illuminates human behavior. (shrink)
Multiple Paths to Ontology.Walter B. Gulick - 2012 - Tradition and Discovery 39 (2):10-15.details
In a recent article "From Epistemology to Ontology," Tihamer Margitay argues that Polanyi fails to establish the necessary correlation he claims between the two levels involved in tacit knowing and corresponding ontological levels. I argue that Margitay correctly shows that such a correspondence does not hold in all cases, but I also point out problems in Margitay's interpretation of Polanyi and suggest additional bases for ontological claims that go beyond Margitay's analysis.
Response to Clayton.Walter B. Gulick - 2002 - Tradition and Discovery 29 (3):32-47.details
Inappropriately reductive or deterministic appropriations of science haunt Philip Clayton's otherwise instructive appropriation of Michael Polanyi's thought for theological and ethical reflection. The work at hand utilizes contemporary complexity theory to augment Polanyi's notions of emergence and hierarchy and to provide a vision within which moral responsibility and theological inquiry make sense. It sets forth types and orders of emergence that bypass untenable notions of causality, reducibility, and determinism.

Virtues, Ideals, and the Convivial Community: Further Steps toward a Polanyian Ethics.Walter B. Gulick - 2003 - Tradition and Discovery 30 (3):40-51.details
The other articles in this issue plus other recent articles on Polanyi's ethics have helped clarify Polanyi's distinctive contribution to ethical theory. This article seeks to integrate these insights with Polanyi's somewhat diffuse treatment of ethics by suggesting what features would be included in a distinctively Polanyian moral point of view. Grounded in psychological satisfactions, social dynamics, and values and ideals regarded as real, Polanyian ethics incorporates features of deontological, utilitarian, and virtue ethics and would support a practice of moral (...) discovery.

Beyond Epistemology to Realms of Meaning.Walter B. Gulick - 1999 - Tradition and Discovery 26 (3):24-41.details
Ultimately Michael Polanyi moved from theorizing about reality in terms of three overlapping frameworks of analysis (personal knowing, evolution/ecology, and tacit knowing) to a yet more comprehensive framework of interpretation: meaning construction. An analysis of the dimensions of embodied, symbol drenched meaning construction suggests that the modernist tendency to tether reality to epistemological analysis be replaced by an exploration of three interpenetrating ontological regions: experiences of existential meaning, cultural forms of meaning, and external reality. In support of this view, I (...) make reference to earlier expressions of my work, utilize illustrations from philosophical history, and address comments from my critics. (shrink)

Religious Naturalism: A Framework of Interpretation and a Christian Version.Walter B. Gulick - 2013 - American Journal of Theology and Philosophy 34 (2):154-174.details
Religious naturalism takes very seriously the meanings inherent in both a scientific understanding of the world and a religious orientation to life well lived. It rejects—as implausible and incompatible with science— the supernaturalism that has dominated Western religious traditions. But can one or more of the varieties of religious naturalism satisfy the fundamental religious needs or yearnings for meaning that have typically been responded to within supernaturalistic worldviews? A challenge facing all types of religious naturalism, if any are to take (...) hold, is to engage these religiously colored needs and yearnings with coherence and integrity.Religious belief and practice typically seem to have more to do with ..

Religious Experience in Philosophy of Religion
A Brief Brief for Philosopher Kings and Queens.Walter B. Gulick - 2005 - Studies in Practical Philosophy 5 (1):18-25.details
In what manner can philosophy best face world problems? I argue that philosophy's most important contribution to problem solving is not analysis and clarification but synoptic in nature. Relying upon the power of reflection and the scope of imagination as linked to a patient attempt to understand many disciplines, the philosopher ideally seeks to comprehend problems in their many-dimensioned complexity. The disciplines of ecology, evolution, and ethics are especially fruitful in guiding the philosopher seeking to assess the relative worth of (...) things in their emergent inter-relationships. - In the body of the paper I attempt an outline of the outstanding human caused harms, injustices, and instabilities resulting in pain and suffering today. World philosophy today seems sufficiently pluralistic, comprehensive and free of unduly constraining orthodoxies that it can again play a significant role not only in conceptualizing problems but in articulating solutions. Broad visions comparable to Plato's as set forth in the Republic can again be ventured. We need to seek out ways to place into power a council of international philosopher kings and queens offering effective solutions beyond the dictates of partisanship and ideology. I conclude by suggesting five principles that international philosopher kings and queens might be expected to rely upon to bring about a more just global society. (shrink)

Plato: Republic in Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy
American aesthetics: theory and practice.Walter B. Gulick & Gary Slater (eds.) - 2020 - Albany: State University of New York Press.details
Although there are distinctly American artists-Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Grandma Moses, Thomas Hart Benton, and Andy Warhol, for example-very little attention has been devoted to formulating any distinctively American characteristics of aesthetic judgment and practice. This volume takes a step in this direction, presenting an introductory essay on the possibility of such a distinctly American tradition, and a collection of essays exploring particular examples from a variety of angles. Some of the essays in this collection extend pragmatist and process insights (...) about the important place aesthetics has in molding and assessing experience. Other essays examine the place of American aesthetics in relation to such particular forms of art as painting, literature, music, and film. Three essays attend to the aesthetic aspects of a flourishing life. In each of the essays, American aesthetics is understood to arise out of deeply felt personal, historical, and cultural backgrounds. Consequently, not only are such relatively abstract notions as harmony, fit, elegance, proportion, and the like involved in aesthetic judgment, but also religious, political, and social factors become embroiled in aesthetic discernment. Thus the ongoing pattern of American aesthetics is shown to be distinguishable from such other varieties of aesthetic thought as analytic aesthetics, New Criticism, and postmodern approaches to aesthetics.

On Structured Societies and Morphogenetic Fields: A Response to Joseph Bracken.Walter B. Gulick - 2004 - Tradition and Discovery 31 (2):31-36.details
Joseph Bracken proposes to modify Whitehead's tendency to see the comprehensive entities of everyday life as but aggregations of actual occasions. While there are resources in Polanyi's notion of an emergent cosmos to counter Whitehead's atomism and reductionism, Bracken's use of Polanyi's theory of a morphogenetic field as a corrective is argued to be only partially successful. Bracken must explain how morphogenetic fields evolve and arise. This step would require replacing Whiteheadian reductionism with a principle of ontological parity that honors (...) the reality of interaction between entities and the integration of their operational principles within basic ontological levels and setting forth principles of emergence to explain how these levels and fields arise.

Toward a Comprehensive Interpretation of Aesthetics.Walter B. Gulick - 2020 - American Journal of Theology and Philosophy 41 (2-3):151-174.details
What is the nature and scope of aesthetic sensibility and thought? Answers to this question have varied greatly over the centuries. In recent decades, however, there have been few attempts to describe the nature and scope of aesthetics within the ambiance of a far-reaching context that takes account of contemporary developments in relevant disciplines. My intention in this essay is to sketch out the contours of such a comprehensive theory.Toward that end I will first offer a brief impressionistic account of (...) the varied ways aesthetic qualities of experience have been treated during the unfolding of Western thought. In Plato's Symposium, the loving attention devoted to facets of beauty interprets them as but varied... (shrink)

This article is intended to advance a comprehensive understanding of knowing and meaning that is sensitive to biological and psychological evidence as well as to ethical and religious concerns. It proceeds by integrating Michael Polanyi's theories of the evolutionary emergence of centered beings, tacit knowing, and the from-[via]-to structure of consciousness with a revised version of Susanne Langer's theory of symbolization. The revision stresses the importance of signals in all human and other animal attunement to reality and argues for dividing (...) Langer's notion of presentational symbolism into a component shared by the more developed animals and one unique to humans. It details autonomic, receptor, learned tacit, and conceptual contributions to personal meaning. (shrink)

Stealthy games are quite popular these days with titles like Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell. Really, with those giants setting the bar there aren't many other comparable games in the stealth genre. However, gamers should not forget the little guy that is Sly, a raccoon thief that uses stealth as a means to obtaining vast fortunes. While the original Sly Cooper was anything but grand, the latest entry in the series has become one of my favorite games in just a short amount of time. Though it doesn't do everything right, it does enough to be entertaining and a vast improvement upon its predecessor.
For those of you who haven't played the original, Sly Cooper is the last remaining member of the Cooper lineage. All the other members of his family have been killed by the nefarious Clockwerk, an owl who has made it his lifework to destroy the Cooper clan. This evildoer so wanted to destroy the entire gang that he lived far longer than normal, turning his body into a machine in the process. At the end of the original, Sly was forced to confront Clockwerk. When the battle came to a conclusion, Clockwerk was defeated and his robotic body was dismantled. One would think that our thief turned hero would be rewarded with a break for all his hard effort. But, a thief's work is never done and Clockwerk is still plaguing our protagonist. The sequel begins with Sly trying to steal Clockwerk's body parts from Interpol, in order to keep it out of the wrong hands. Unfortunately, he is too late and the parts have already been stolen by the Klaww gang. Sly then decides to go on a quest to get all the body parts, which have been scattered among the members of the Klaww gang, back into his righteous, thieving hands.
The story itself is pretty interesting, but the thing that separates it from other games is the way it is told. Every mission is played out in the form of an "episode", making the whole game seem even more like a cartoon show. At the beginning of the mission you get a little cartoon-ish clip which shows what the gang has been up to and what their plan is. You are also given details on who the enemy is, what lead them to their life of crime, and what they are doing with their Clockwerk piece. Making the whole game play out like, basically, the second season of Sly Cooper was a very nice touch.
Now, stealing the remains of Clockwerk piece by piece from an entire gang by oneself is near impossible. Thankfully Sly has the aid of his friends. In Band of Thieves, no longer will Murray and Bentley, his two best friends since childhood, be forced to sit back and let Sly steal the show. In the original, the two buds would just help Sly by telling him what to do. In other words, they were never playable characters. This time around, you will have to use all three characters to complete the mission. Having three characters to play as is what really separates Band of Thieves from its forerunner, as each character brings something different to the table. Bentley, the brains behind the outfit, can shoot sleep darts at foes, use grenades, and whack enemies with his crossbow. Murray, the brawn of the crew, is a bit slower than the other characters, but he is unmatched in strength. As for Sly, he remains much the same. The raccoon can still jump, sneak around, pick pocket enemies, run on or slide down ropes, and crawl through small spaces, among other thins. Sly was always my favorite character to play as, just because he could travel through the levels in many different ways. Bentley and Murray are pretty much stuck on the ground floor. They can't jump from rock to rock, crawl on ropes, or any of the cool things Sly can do. Even so, they are a welcome addition to the game and add a good deal of variety.
As you progress through the episodes you will collect some money, either by pick pocketing it from guards or smashing objects (which drop coins once they are destroyed). The coins are used to buy new moves for one of the trio members. Each episode comes with three new moves (one for each character), so as you progress through the game your arsenal of tricks will grow increasingly larger. As for the abilities themselves, there are wacky ones (like Bentley's ability to shrink enemies), there are stealthy ones (such as Sly's ability to make smoke shoot out from his cane in order to escape), and there are ultra-powerful ones (which is basically anything in Murray's line-up of moves). In this area Bentley shines. He can fly with his hover pack, shrink enemies, put enemies to sleep with bombs, and do many more cool things like that.
A good deal of these moves, especially Murray's, are meant for combat. Obviously, this means you'll have to eventually have to give up sneaking and start hitting. Fighting is the low-point of the game, to be honest, but it really isn't even that bad. You have two attack buttons (or, in Bentley's case, an attack button and a bomb button) of which you can use on your enemies. The problem I had was that you couldn't really string together attacks to form cool combos. Sly and Murray are two characters that could, potentially, have some wicked combos. Instead, they are reduced to hacking and slashing. Fights basically consist of you hitting a guard, backing up a bit before they counter, and then repeating the process until said guard is dead. As you might have guessed, the A.I. isn't the best. Though, it isn't the worst either, as guards will relentlessly hunt you until you are really, really out of site for a certain period of time. The boss fights do play out differently, though, especially once your character has three or four different moves to use. Their A.I. still isn't that great, however.
You can't just start up the episode and immediately take on the boss, as that would be far too easy for our hero. In true spy fashion, at the start of the mission Sly is usually tasked with doing reconnaissance in the form of taking pictures of certain objects. Once that is complete, each character gets their separate task. After enough work before the job is done (this is usually around seven missions) it's time for the actual heist, which is basically a couple of little missions in one. The nice thing is that there are dozens of different missions you'll play in the game, rather than having to do the same thing repeatedly. There are tank driving levels, pick pocketing levels, follow the target levels, and even a dancing level. No joke, you will have to match the buttons and make Sly dance. The variety in missions is seriously amazing, and is one of the best things about the game.
As I've already mentioned, the game is pretty cartoon-ish. From the Saturday morning cartoon feel to the fact there are actually episodes, the whole thing makes it seem like the game belongs on the Fox Box (don't ask me how I know about the Fox Box). What makes it feel even more like a cartoon are the cel-shaded graphics, which are simply beautiful. The original game, despite being average, had pretty darn good graphics. Band of Thieves looks much the same, but with a little improvement hear and there. Animation is slick, characters look great, and environments are beautiful. Whenever there is a new episode with a different villain (Sometimes the Klaww big shots last for two episodes) there are new minions to kill. This is nice, because you won't be forced to fight the same enemies over and over again, like you would have to in other games. But Sly 2: Band of Thieves is not like all the other games, and it truly shows how good cel-shaded games can look.
The audio is yet another area where the game shines, as the game has good music and even better voice acting. The music score is nice, especially since it interacts with what your character is doing. As you sneak up on enemies, you'll get little string plucks that coincide with every step you take. While you sneak about the music is calm and quiet, but when you get into fisticuffs with an opponent the music will become intense and much louder. The voice actors who voiced the trio in the original reprise their roles in Band of Thieves, and do such a great job at it. Bentley, for one, makes me laugh just by talking (his voice is wacky). It does help that there is great dialogue in the game, like the line "The Murray approves", but the real credit goes to the actors who captured their characters skillfully.
So, the story is good, the gameplay is good, the audio is good, and the graphics are good. So, is there any place where the game doesn't shine? Well, if there is one weak-point in the game, I would have to say that there isn't much reason to come back to it once you beat it. You can play in the levels after beating the missions but there isn't much to do but collect the hidden bottles that lay across the levels (after collecting 30 of which you can unlock a hidden safe that holds a special move for Sly). This isn't so much of a problem, though, because the single player mission will last you quite a bit.
If this review didn't hint at it, there isn't much wrong with the game. Combat is a bit lackluster, Murray isn't as useful as his two compatriots, and Sly's addiction for naughty magazines has just gotten out of hand in this game. Ok, I might be making the last part up, but only because there isn't enough wrong with the game to cause a real problem. If you're looking for an entertaining game, look no farther. If you're looking for a funny game, look no farther. If you're looking for an all around phenomenal game, look no farther. Sly 2: Band of Thieves went way beyond my expectations. It was so fun, so well-made, and so good to look at that it needs to be in your library if you're a platforming lover. Even if you aren't, you should at least give it a try. Sly has truly stolen my heart.

'LHHNY' Star Chrissy Lampkin: 'I'm Not Sorry For Kimbella Fight!!'
Lyndon Abioye
Chrissy Lampkin's infamous brawl with Kimbella goes down as one of the most explosive scenes in Love & Hip Hop: New York history, but Chrissy says she's not sorry for putting hands (and her feet) all over Kimbella.
The ladies all sat down to celebrate Emily's "emancipation" from Fabolous when Kimbella told Emily that she had been sleeping with Fabolous while she was pregnant. Chrissy became angry with Kimbella for the revelation and a fight ensued.
Yandy Smith, Chrissy, and Kimbella all re-watched that heated moment back in front of VH1 cameras - and Chrissy admits that although it was not her finest moment - she does not regret it.
"To my defense, I thought the cameras were off! So ugly! This is so ugly! Stop it! I don't wanna see it! It was terrible! It's not my greatest moment; it's not my proudest moment. And I know it's gonna sound a little crazy- it may be convoluted," she said after watching the clip.
"But I'm not sorry for what I did. I'm sorry it was her, 'cause she has become his wife and the mother of his children. But I felt like I felt. It is what it is…I don't want people to know me for fighting- that's not my thing. But it is in me, obviously!"

Garden Gnomes Juniors Softball team earns a spot in the District 8 Championship game
Northwest Seattle / Shoreline Little League Windermere
Rick Nimmer Garden Gnomes Juniors Softball team
UPDATE: The games were rained out on Wednesday and rescheduled for Thursday, June 14
The Northwest Seattle / Shoreline Little League Windermere Rick Nimmer Garden Gnomes Juniors Softball team has earned a spot to play in the District 8 Championship game held at UW Husky Softball Stadium on Wednesday June 13th.
This team is 13-3 on the season. They finished the regular season on a strong note, winning their final regular season game over Ballard/ Magnolia/ Queen Anne Little League team.
In their first game in the D8 Tournament they defeated North Central Little League 7-4 moving on to face Northeast Little League who had a bye in the first round.
The Garden Gnomes got off to a rough start against Northeast Little League, giving up 4 runs in the first inning and not being able to fight their way back, losing 6-1. With this loss they now had to play in the losers bracket of the double elimination tournament.
Facing a tough task ahead, the Gnomes would need to win 3 games in a row to make it to the Championship. The Gnomes' next opponent would be Ballard/ Magnolia/ Queen Anne Little League with the Gnomes getting the win and their starting pitcher threw a no hitter.
The Garden Gnomes would then move on to face North Central Little League in an elimination game. This was a well played game all around with great pitching, defense, and hitting, allowing the Gnomes to get the win and stay alive in the tournament.
This earned the Gnomes a spot in the Semifinal match up against North Bothell Little League, played at Shorewood High School. The NW/Shoreline Garden Gnomes got off to an amazing start with 6 runs in the first inning and never letting up and winning the game in 4 innings and earning a spot in the District 8 Championship game at UW Husky Stadium.
The Garden Gnomes are no strangers to tournament play and success. This team went undefeated in the 2017 Majors Softball D8 Tournament, winning the District 8 City Championship over Northeast Little League, and losing to Woodinville in the District 8 Championship at UW Husky Softball Stadium.
In 2015 while playing in the Minor Softball Division they had similar success going undefeated in tournament play, losing to North Central Little League in the City Championship game at UW Husky Softball Stadium.
This will be the Garden Gnomes' third visit to the Championship game at UW Husky Softball Stadium in the past four seasons. They have had an incredible run of success which has created some great rivalries amongst other D8 opponents.
Most notably Northeast Seattle Little League who they were able to beat in both semifinal games in 2015 and 2017 keeping them from making it to Husky Stadium.
The Championship game in 2018 will be loaded with excitement, pitting the Northwest Seattle/ Shoreline Juniors Softball Garden Gnomes against the Northeast Junior Softball Little League squad.
These teams know each other well, splitting the regular season series, and losing to them in game 2 of the 2018 tournament. This will be a hard fought game and the winner will more than likely be the team that makes the fewest mistakes.
The Northwest/Shoreline Little League Garden Gnome Team is Managed by Rick Nimmer, and coached by Stephanie Saunders, Ashley Swan, and Kari Fera.
The team is sponsored by Windermere Real Estate Rick Nimmer Broker
The Garden Gnomes would like to thank Tracy Lemke, President Of Northwest Little League, Dean Barth, President Of Shoreline Little League, Mickey Telling, Vice President of Softball Shoreline Little League, and all of the great families and fans for their support in the 2018 season.
District 8 Little League is made up of teams from Ballard, Magnolia, Queen Anne, Roosevelt, University District, Greenlake, North Central Seattle, Northeast Seattle, Northwest Seattle, Shoreline, North Bothell, North Lake, Northshore, and Woodinville.
The Little League Juniors Softball Division is made up of players 13 and 14 years of age with most in 7th and 8th grades.
Many of these players will be starting High School next year and will attend Shorewood, Shorecrest, Ingraham, and Nathan Hale.
The District 8 Little League Juniors Softball Championship will be played at UW Husky Softball Stadium Wednesday June 13, 2018 at 7:30pm. This event is free to the general public.

Integral Somatic Psychology Professional Training
Integral Somatic Psychology™ (ISP™) is a master training consisting of three 4-day live training modules, reflected in the curriculum description below. In a few locations the training is taught in two 6-day training modules. Download a PDF to review the two-module curriculum. For a detailed schedule and learning objectives visit the Learning Objectives and Schedules page.
Module 1: The Physiology of Emotions
Working with Emotions with Greater Efficiency through the Science of the Physiology of Emotions and Principles of Energy Psychology.
This course has been designed to help improve cognitive, emotional, and behavioral outcomes in all therapies on the basis of clinical implications of evidence-based theories in neuroscience on the physiology of cognition, emotion, and behavior, especially the theory of embodied and embedded cognition. We will study the findings on how cognition, emotion, and behavior depend not only on the brain but also on the body and the environment; how cognition, emotion, and behavior are inter-related in the physiology of the brain as well as the body and its relationship to the environment; and how emotion and the body's involvement in emotion are important for improving cognition, emotion, and behavior. We will also study the older and newer findings on the physiology of emotions in depth in relation to the physiology of self-regulation in the brain and the body. We will study and practice clinical strategies that can potentially help all therapies to improve cognitive, emotional, and behavioral outcomes in their work by involving the body more in a broader range of emotional experiences (primary, secondary, and always-present and often-overlooked sensorimotor emotions).
In this part of the course, the focus will be on how we can facilitate greater emotional embodiment through the musculature of the legs, the arms, and the head and neck areas in the body. In addition, as an optional topic for the consideration of participants for the purpose of further improving emotional embodiment, introductory work with two layers of the quantum level subtle body, metaphorically named ether and air, will be presented.
Basic principles of Integral Somatic Psychotherapy:
The ISP framework: The individual physical (gross) body, the individual energy (subtle) body, the dynamic collective physical (gross) body, the dynamic collective energy (subtle) body, the dynamic collective body of unity, and the absolute collective body of unlimited pure awareness or consciousness. Multi-disciplinary theoretical and empirical evidence for different levels of the ISP model from Western and Eastern sources.
All Western and Eastern therapeutic approaches as special cases of the integrative ISP framework. ISP as a master training for experienced professionals in any therapeutic modality with prior psychological and somatic expertise.
Embodiment of psychological experience in the individual physical (gross) body as the core clinical strategy in ISP. Four inter-related aspects of embodiment of psychological experience with a broad definition of emotion or affect as the bridge: Working with psychological, physiological, and energetic defenses to expand and deepen the experience in the body and to build capacity for tolerating it; and working with the experience cognitively and behaviorally to facilitate greater embodiment of the experience in the body, defined as a person's stable relationship to the experience such as love or grief over time. Scientific evidence for effectiveness of embodiment in increasing clinical outcomes in cognitive, emotional, and behavioral work.
Three aspects of regulation: physiological, energetic, and psychological.
Presentation of case studies of the effectiveness of the Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) approach in different cultures including a published peer reviewed research article.
Working to improve self-regulation across the three layers of the individual physical (gross) body:
The muscular system governed by the somatic nervous system
The viscera governed by the autonomic nervous system
The central nervous system and structures that surround it.
Presentation of a model of regulation with seven easy-to-learn flow patterns to regulate the physiology during psychological work without compromising or destroying the very psychological experience one is working with, a common problem in many body-oriented and energy-oriented approaches in mainstream psychology.
Understanding the seven basic dynamics such as constriction/flaccidity and hyper/hypo arousal through which the three layers of the individual physical (gross) body are used to generate as well as defend against different psychological experiences
such as perception, cognition, memory, imagination, affect, verbal and non-verbal expression, behavior, and relationship. Theoretical and empirical evidence for these generative and defensive dynamics from scientific research in academia and clinical research in body psychotherapy traditions.
Affect theory.
Theories of affect and affect development. Levels or types of affect. Affect and psychophysiological disorders. Relevant research.
Choice of tools:
Awareness, intention, imagination, breath, sound, movement, self-touch, touch of another, bodywork, and energy work as clinical tools that can be used appropriate to the therapist's training, preference, and licensure context. Understanding of the relative advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of each tool.
The role played by the muscular system in generating as well as defending against psychological experiences.
The psychological functions of the muscles of the legs, arms, head, face, and neck areas. Relevant research and techniques for working with muscles in these areas during psychological work.
Introduction to the role of the individual energy (subtle) body in psychological experiences.
The heart center, the air element, and their physiological and psychological functions. Working with the zones of the air element in the physical (gross) body to bring about greater balance between cognition and emotion in psychological work using basics of Polarity therapy.
"Both theoretical and empirical evidence support the claim that the embodiment work in
Integral Somatic Psychology can improve outcomes to a significant degree."
Raja Selvam, PhD, Founder and Developer of ISP
Module 2: The Physiology of Attachment
Working with Attachment with Greater Efficiency through the Science of the Physiology of Attachment and Principles of Energy Psychology.
This course has been designed to help improve cognitive, emotional, and behavioral outcomes in all therapies on the basis of clinical implications of evidence-based theories in cognitive psychology and neuroscience on the physiology of cognition, emotion, and behavior, especially the theory of embodied and embedded cognition. We will study the findings on how cognition, emotion, and behavior depend not only on the brain but also on the body and the environment; how cognition, emotion, and behavior are inter-related in the physiology of the brain as well as the body and its relationship to the environment; and how emotion and the body's involvement in emotion are important for improving cognition, emotion, and behavior. We will also study the older and newer findings on the physiology of emotions in depth in relation to the physiology of self-regulation in the brain and the body. We will study and practice clinical strategies that can potentially help all therapies to improve cognitive, emotional, and behavioral outcomes in their work by involving the body more in a broader range of emotional experiences (primary, secondary, and always-present and often-overlooked sensorimotor emotions).
In this second part of the course, the focus will be on how we can facilitate greater emotional embodiment through the musculature and diaphragms in the torso as well as through the autonomic nervous system and the organs, glands, and blood vessels governed by it. The topic of inter-personal resonance, its scientific basis, how to use it, and its value in emotional embodiment as well as attachment work will be covered. In addition, as an optional topic for the consideration of participants for the purpose of further improving emotional embodiment, how to work with four layers of the quantum level subtle body introduced in part one, metaphorically named ether, air, fire, and water, will be presented.
The science of the physiology of attachment in the muscular, visceral, and central nervous system layers of the individual physical (gross) body.
Relevant findings from scientific research and body psychotherapy traditions.
The role played by the muscular system in generating as well as defending against physiological and psychological experiences.
In particular, the physiological and psychological functions of the muscles and other structures of the torso including the shoulder, respiratory, and pelvic diaphragms. Relevant research and techniques for working with muscles and diaphragms of the torso during psychological work.
The role of the autonomic nervous system and the organs, glands, and the blood vessels governed by it in generating as well as defending against physiological and psychological experiences.
Relevant research including the emotional and attachment implications of the polyvagal theory of the autonomic nervous system and simple techniques for working with organs, glands, and blood vessels during psychological work.
The definition of the individual energy (subtle) body as a sub atomic particle level or quantum body and the emerging evidence for it from neuroscience, quantum physics, and research on near death and out of body experiences.
The role of the individual energy (subtle) body in generating as well as defending against physiological and psychological experiences, and in the regulation of the individual physical (gross) body. Relevant findings and evidence from Western approaches such as biodynamic cranial osteopathy and Western and Eastern energy psychology approaches.
The psychological and physiological functions of three to four of the five lower energy centers and the elements associated with them (ether, air, fire, water, and earth, metaphors for the felt sense experience)
of the different layers of the individual energy (subtle) body.
Understanding the relationship between the individual physical (gross) and energy (subtle) bodies in terms of basic concepts of energy zones and primary energy flow patterns from Polarity therapy.
Simple strategies for expanding the individual energy (subtle) body and for embodying it in the individual physical (gross) body in a balanced way to improve physical, energetic, and psychological regulation in clients and yourself.
The role of resonance between individual bodies and between individual and collective bodies in physical, energetic, and psychological self-regulation and interactive regulation.
Evidence for different types of resonance between individual bodies and between individual and collective bodies from theoretical and empirical scientific research including findings from quantum physics. Differentiation of transference, counter-transference and resonance. Strategies for developing and utilizing such resonance in clinical work.
ISP brings together a broad and expanded understanding of trauma, emotions and transformation. Through this training, I have become both professionally and personally more resilient, resonant. With deeper capacity, I am better able to move toward wholeness and coherence. I am able to take clients to greater depth and capacity in a way that is both moving and liberating.

Module 3: The Physiology of Stress and Trauma
Working with the Physiology of Stress and Trauma with Greater Efficiency through the Science of the Physiology of Stress and Trauma and Principles of Energy Psychology.
In this third part of the course, the focus will be on how we can facilitate greater emotional embodiment through the physiology of the brain, spinal cord, and the structures that surround and protect them (cerebrospinal fluid, membrane, bone, fascia, tendon, ligament, muscle. An optional topic for the consideration of participants for the purpose of further improving emotional embodiment, how to work with another layer of the quantum level subtle body, metaphorically named earth, will be presented. Another optional topic for the consideration of participants, how to work to connect the individual psyche to various levels of the collective psyche to further improve emotional embodiment, will also be presented.
The role of the central nervous system area of the brain and spinal cord and surrounding structures in generating as well as defending against extra-ordinary experiences of life-threatening stress and trauma.
Findings from science, body psychotherapy, and energy psychology.
Simple strategies for working directly with the physiology of the brain and spinal cord and surrounding structures when working with experiences of life-threatening stress and trauma in psychological work settings.
Simple strategies for working with the root center and the associated earth element involved in existential traumas of life and death.
The role of the central nervous system areas of the brain and spinal cord and surrounding structures in generating as well as defending against ordinary but difficult physiological and psychological experiences due to development (as opposed to extraordinary experiences of life-threatening stress and trauma).
Relevant research findings from science, body psychotherapy, and energy psychology.
Simple strategies for working with the central nervous system area of brain and spinal cord and surrounding structures
(bone, ligament, membrane, muscle, tendon, and cerebrospinal fluid) during psychological work with ordinary but difficult experiences of development (as opposed to the extraordinary experiences of life-threatening stress and trauma) to improve physiological and psychological functions in clients.
The role of the two higher energy centers at the brow and the crown of the head. The relationship between these two higher energy centers in the individual energy (subtle) body and the dynamic collective physical (gross) body, the dynamic collective energy (subtle) body, the dynamic collective body of unity, and the absolute collective body of pure awareness or consciousness.
The nature of the four elements associated with the two higher energy centers. The higher-order (spiritual) and lower order (physiological and psychological) functions of the four higher elements.
Simple strategies for working with the two higher energy centers, the four higher elements, and the archetypal resources they constitute to help heal symptoms of extra-ordinary experiences of life threatening stress and trauma and symptoms of ordinary but difficult life experiences of development.
Simple strategies for embodying the higher elements from the two higher energy centers in the individual energy (subtle) and physical (gross) bodies. Study of the lower energy centers, associated elements, and their physiological and psychological characteristics not covered in module two. Review of the lower energy centers, the elements associated with them, and their physiological and psychological functions covered in module two.
Understanding of the range of possibilities for the growth of the human psyche, from resolving physiological and psychological problems at the individual level,
to improving the individual's relationship to other individuals and other collective levels of the psyche, to self-actualization as conceptualized by Maslow or individuation as theorized by Jung, to enlightenment, the highest personal and spiritual achievement possible for the human psyche according to Advaita Vedanta. Evidence from philosophy, neuroscience, quantum physics, and inter-subjectively verified multi-cultural multi-traditional empirical research for integrative models of the psyche such as Jungian psychology, Integral Psychology of Ken Wilber, and Advaita Vedanta.

La Coppa Intercontinentale 1962 è stata la terza edizione del trofeo riservato alle squadre vincitrici della Coppa dei Campioni e della Coppa Libertadores.

Avvenimenti
Il Santos, guidato dalla propria linea d'attacco, dominò entrambe le sfide, trascinato da Pelé. In tutto, con le cinque reti di O Rei, il Santos vince per 8-4 la doppia sfida.
Particolarmente spettacolare la gara di ritorno, vinta dalla squadra brasiliana per 5-2 allo Stadio da Luz di Lisbona contro il Benfica, incontro considerato a lungo come uno dei più belli giocati fino ad allora.

Nel 2017, la FIFA ha equiparato i titoli della Coppa del mondo per club e della Coppa Intercontinentale, riconoscendo a posteriori anche i vincitori dell'Intercontinentale come detentori del titolo ufficiale di "campione del mondo FIFA", inizialmente attribuito soltanto ai vincitori della Coppa del mondo per club.

Samsung's James Kitto on the Galaxy S20 FE, and why it's offering a lot for less
Why the Galaxy S20 FE is more than just another Samsung flagship
(Image credit: Slashleaks)
By Tom Pritchard published 6 October 20
T3 Interview – James Kitto
James Kitto is Samsung's UK & Ireland Vice-President of Sales.
It seems like there have been an extraordinary number of Samsung phones being announced this year. We've had the flagship Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 ranges, the Galaxy Z Fold 2, 4G and 5G versions of the Z Flip, not to mention all the mid-range and budget devices that are pumped out with great frequency.
Then at the end of last month Samsung announced a brand new phone, the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition, promising premium features for a lower price point than the original S20 had to offer. We had a lot of questions that needed answers, so we sat down Vice President of Sales James Kitto to get to the bottom of things.
Best gaming phones
The first thing to wonder about is why Samsung has released the S20 FE as it is. The company is no stranger to 'lite' versions of its flagship devices, which we've all seen with the likes of the Galaxy S10e and Note 10 Lite, but the S20 FE is handling that a little differently. The obvious first question is why the phone was released now, rather than back in February alongside the rest of the S20 range.
According to Kitto the S20 FE has been in the works for some time, but instead of releasing a lighter handset at the start of the year Samsung sees the FE as a handset for the loyal Samsung customers. By listening to customer feedback on the S20 range, Samsung has opted to take "some of the very best elements of what you get from S20, democratizing those and making those available at an even more affordable price point".
Kitto says the S20 range was a great success for Samsung, despite some initial pandemic-fuelled reports to the contrary, but there are still large numbers of customers rocking devices as old as the Samsung Galaxy S7. Despite the many, many options in Samsung's existing portfolio, the S20 FE is designed for those customers to upgrade and get the best Samsung has to offer for a lower price. So it's been about listening to them and finding out what they'd need from a new phone.
As for the naming aspect, it does seem a little bit strange that Samsung would scrap existing branding used on its cheaper premium handsets. The S10e was remarkably popular, and it's very easy to figure out what the Note 10 Lite is, so why did Samsung choose to call the S20 FE a 'Fan Edition?' Apparently it's all about that feedback, gathered from the millions of Samsung customers across the globe. Feedback that's pulled in from several sources, including direct contact with Samsung members, social media, as well as more typical feedback and survey groups.
It's all about building and maintaining customer loyalty, which is a "pillar" of Samsung's core strategy. Ensuring customers have products and experiences they need, both on their phones and with other complementary products like tablets, wearables, and audio. Of course customers don't always know what they need, and Kitto emphasised that Samsung is also trying to "put [its] finger on the pulse of the market" in terms of listening to customer needs and innovate by developing new features people don't necessarily realise they need yet. All with the aim to "evolve this industry to deliver innovation, not just for innovation's sake, but to really deliver on new human experiences."
Price may well be a point of contention, especially in the world of COVID. The LTE S20 FE costs £599/AU$999, while the 5G model is going to cost you $699/£699/AU$1,149. The idea of premium level specs for a more affordable price is not new, but Samsung is determined on keeping its own discounted flagship well within a premium price point rather than dipping into mid-range – as we've seen with the likes of the Google Pixel 4a, OnePlus Nord, and 2020 iPhone SE.
Kitto noted that Samsung already has a large range of products on the market, "for pretty much any wallet size" as he put it. That includes the cheaper Galaxy A series, the older 'lite models' like the Galaxy S10e, as well as the larger and more expensive flagships. These phones are designed to have a "core galaxy DNA", emphasising features like battery life, screen quality, and camera performance, but in a variety of products that helps customers find something that suits their needs and purposes.
That said Kitto explained that the S20 FE is about targeting customers who already had a Samsung flagship two or three years ago and are getting ready to upgrade. Some may have picked up one of 2020's flagship offerings already, but the FE is there to give them another choice. The core Galaxy features at "a slightly more refined price point".
Evidently, though, the goal isn't to downgrade their phones in order to hit a specific price point, Samsung wants to "democratize" them. Playing back into that customer feedback angle that gave the S20 FE its name.
Of course you can't have everything, and there are still features from the main Galaxy S20 range that are missing on the S20 FE. Specs like lower screen resolution, a 'glastic' casing, no 8K video, and so on. When asked how Samsung decided which features to prioritise and which to compromise, Kitto said that this is a phone for fans. Specifically fans of streaming, gaming, selfies and photography, and of course fashion.
In other words the focus was creating a phone that had a great screen, a powerful camera, extra connectivity, all wrapped in a package that looks good. So we have the S20 FE with a 120Hz refresh rate, a full screen with Samsung's smallest holepunch camera, 5G, the latest Samsung camera technology, and all in a choice of colours that have been designed to appeal to a wide audience.
It may be a little strange to focus on the fashion angle, but Kitto pointed out that a phone is "a fashion statement as much as it is a workhorse". So Samsung went for something that can stand out from the crowd a little bit more - and the S20 FE designed to try and offer more choice in that regard.
That said, despite changes Samsung has had to make as a company in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, very little changed in regard to the S20 FE. The phone has been in the works for a while, and while devices always get fine tuned in the run-up to launch most of what the S20 FE became had already been locked in. Of course how it's being marketed has had to change, especially when you can't get people into retail stores to have a go with the phone for themselves. But for the most part Samsung has been working with digital promoters to try and offer that retail-like experience without being in a physical store. So prospective customers can get a similar idea of what to expect from the S20 FE before they purchase one online or over the phone.
Kitto admitted that things are uncertain, but the increased reliance on remote shopping has helped the premium phone market grow over the past several months. Even the way things are, and in the midst of national lockdowns, people wanted to get hold of those new phones. Kitto explains this trend as people expect a lot from their phone, especially in a time of 5G expansion, with them needing a device that can properly handle their communication and work needs.
Those needs are different to each person as well, and Kitto explains Samsung's large portfolio means those needs can be met by one of its products. Whether it's the more enterprise and work-oriented features of the Note 20, or having something that performs well at the low price point of the Galaxy A Series, Samsung has enough choice to pair something with prospective customers' needs.
And the S20 FE is the one designed to give people maximum choice in the core S20 range, without necessarily having to pay quite so much.

Flute of death and life
Posted on November 16, 2013 by operaramblings
It's hard to fault any aspect of the new recording of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte recorded earlier this year at the Baden-Baden festival. The soloists are consistently good, and in some cases very good indeed, Simon Rattle is in the pit with the Berlin Philharmonic and Robert Carsen's production is beautiful to look at and thought provoking without being pointlessly provocative. Add to that first rate video direction and superb Blu-ray sound and picture quality and one has a disk that looks competitive even in the very crowded market for Zauberflöte recordings.
Carsen sets the piece in a sort of hyper realistic forest formed by a "grass" surround for the orchestra pit and projected foresty backdrops on which other images; the Initiates temple doors, a giant Pamina etc appear as required. It also serves for the world of the Initiation; descended into via the grave. The main Konzept is the idea that the Initiates and the Queen of the Night and her Ladies are really playing on the same team. The piece is about initiation; the transition from childhood to adulthood with all that means in terms of understanding our finite being; death in life, life in death. Crucially this rite of passage must be undergone, each in his/her own way by all the young people; Pamina as much as Tamino, Papagena as much as Papageno. The idea is handled quite subtly and gives much pause for thought. Who or what, for example, is Monostatos?
There is some lovely singing and great acting on this disk. Although it may not be the most sternflammende cast ever committed to disk it is solid or better across the board. Pavol Breslik is a terrific Tamino; sweet toned, stylish and credible (no mean feat with this role), Michael Nagy is just as good as Papageno and Kate Royal is just about perfect as Pamina, singing with a silky creamy tone and making the most of a production that gives Pamina more agency than usual. Ach ich fühl's is sung about as well as I have ever heard it. I also really liked Ana Durlovski's very human Königin; not the scariest, most exciting reading ever but accurate and fitting. Add to this an unusually young and virile looking and sounding Dimitry Ivashchenko as Sarastro and the very cute Regula Mühlemann as Papagena and it all adds up to a very strong ensemble cast.
Rattle's reading is pretty brisk but carefully phrased and achieving great detail and clarity. Needless to say he gets great support from his Berlin Philharmonic. The Rundfunkchor Berlin are no slouches either.
Technically this is a very good effort. Video director Olivier Simonnet does not try to impose himself on the stage direction. This appropriately non interventionist approach is backed up by first class surround sound and a very good picture. There is also some decent bonus material in the form of characteristically insightful interviews with Carsen and Rattle and some interesting backstage footage. The documentation is the standard track listing, synopsis and short essay. My copy also came with a trial pass for the Berlin Phil's Digital Concert Hall. Subtitle options are English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese.
This is a very enjoyable disk and fit to sit alongside my previous favourites from the Royal Opera House and the Salzburg festival.
I've left the images as full size on this post because of the nature of the video direction. Click on the image to get a much larger version.

Is this the one where the two of the Three Ladies are Magdalena Kozena and Nathalie Stutzmann?

I hadn't even heard of this "Flute" until now! I'll have to look for it right away! I've heard of one other production that used the concept of Sarastro and the Queen as secret allies (the production that William Christie's sound recording was based on), but never actually seen that concept before. Yet it makes sense – if you look closely at the libretto, you see that the Queen and the Ladies are probably the most helpful villains in all of opera! Everything they do ultimately effects Tamino and Pamina's journeys in a positive way!
Regie, or Not Regie? on November 16, 2013 at 8:09 pm said:
I really liked this performance a lot when it was on Arte Live (or medici, I forget). And I am glad to see it was issued on DVD. I agree it's a strong cast and an interesting take on the story –one that really makes modern sense. The same cast (including Annick Massis as the First Lady –it's kind of fun to have a high-powered trio of ladies, though i felt the either didn't get much or didn't accept much stage direction) did a concert performance at the Philharmonie a few weeks later, which is on Digital Concert Hall. There is also Peter Sellars' moving staging of Bach's St. Matthew Passion (two different performances with virtually the same cast each time.) and some other concert performances of operas, including Salome with Emily Magee. I highly recommend checking DCH out, especially with a free pass.
