Tavernier to play with Symphony in Masterworks benefi
By Pete Zamplas – Piano virtuoso Christopher Tavernier is playing with three area orchestras soon, dedicating his main benefit concert for the Hendersonville Symphony as he plays in a rare triple-piano extravaganza.
Tavernier, a Hendersonville High School sophomore, this time will benefit a group in his hometown and a premier one in classical music. He will accompany HSO's 20 chamber musicians to kick off the HSO season with the "Three B's" concert, Sept. 2 at 7 p.m. in Diana Wortham Theatre in Asheville. HSO Music Dir. Thomas Joiner is also its conductor.
In its four prior years, all Masterworks proceeds went to pay for mammograms via Mission Hospital's foundation in Asheville. The Music Foundation of Western North Carolina (MFWNC) is a main producer. Tickets usually sell out; they are now on sale.
Tavernier's latest benefit concert was a second annual one Jan. 14-15 in Hendersonville Community Theatre. It benefited HCT. "I like helping out the community," he said.
Tavernier enjoys both solo and accompaniments. "In solo concerts, I can express my interpretation of a piece," he said. When playing with other pianists or orchestras, a challenge is coordinating "multiple interpretations" into a cohesive sound.
He has most often played with his instructor, pianist Dr. John Cobb. In the HCT benefit's second show, he ventured into jazz blends in playing with clarinet player Matthew Hanna.
The Masterworks concert in September spans "Three B's" of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms. It begins with HSO Chamber Orchestra playing 16 Brahm waltzes from 1865.
Tavernier plays solo on the 25-minute Beethoven Waldstein Piano Sonata No. 21, to start the show's second half. This is lauded as among Beethoven's most intricate composition, which he penned in 1804. Uber-paced pianist Tavernier will deploy rapid left-hand runs.
This is sandwiched between all three pianists playing in two Bach Concertos for 3 Pianos. The first is in D Minor. The closer is in C Major.
The other two pianists are Fayetteville-based Jesse Davis, and Dr. Vance Reese. Davis, 40, has won awards in Vienna, Austria and performed in Europe such as in Berlin and Kiev, Ukraine. He espouses technical mastery and also "bravura," said Christopher's father Bob Tavernier who organizes these benefit concerts.
Reese is trained in Pace Method improvisation. He teaches music in Brevard College. He has long been Christ School's chapel organist.
HSO Exec. Dir. Pat Tukey is grateful for the benefit concert, calling it rare to hear three pianos played at once and by such acclaimed pianists. Tukey said Tavernier is already "making quite an impact in the artistic community."
MFWNC founder Joann Freeburg said "you won't have to be a classical music fan to enjoy this concert. You can appreciate it from an historical, technical and performance perspective. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
For this show, three Perzina grand pianos are being custom-made in Austria with matching "sound and temperament," Bob Tavernier noted. The pianos will be tuned for the original Baroque Period (1600-1750) vibrant sound of equal-beating Victorian temperament.
Originally in the pre-piano era, harpsichords played these concertos. The modern piano has a harder response, making it tougher to play such delicate notes. Also, the brisk Baroque sound and any gaffes stand out more.
Mostly "the Bach you hear today is not the Bach heard in 1700," Christopher Tavernier explained. "The instruments are different; the tuning is different. But this concert will recreate the music of that era."
Beyond that is the immense musical and technical challenge of three pianists often playing at once. Tavernier grins about that. One staging scenario is facing one (perhaps his) piano toward the other two, and between them.
Freeburg Pianos of Hendersonville will buy the gold-crested limited edition pianos, and lend them for the show. Thus, it enables a big city-like budgeted triple piano gala unusual anywhere. Christopher Tavernier is Perzina Pianos' first-ever and sole official performing artist in its 146 years.
"Music is one of WNC's greatest assets," Mrs. Freeburg said. "The Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra is a leader in this community, providing world-class performances and contributing to the musical education of our young people. By supporting HSO, we are ensuring that quality musical performances and education will continue enhancing lives."
HSO's Youth Orchestra and Children's Choir serve more than 140 students per year with progressive ensemble study.
People can enjoy a preview of the HSO-Tavernier collaboration on Saturday, April 29 in the Nationalistic Fervor concert. He will play in Prokoviev Concerto No. 3's first movement, with HSO's full orchestra of more than 70 members. This is in HSO's usual venue, in Bo Thomas Auditorium of Blue Ridge Community College (BRCC).
Tavernier plays by virtue of winning 22nd HSO Young Artist Competition Feb. 19, for WNC high school students. Violinist Myles McKnight of Fletcher was runner-up. Prizes of $500, $300 and $200 will be awarded at the event April 29.
The top finishers will play in the free Showcase Winners Recital April 2 at 6 p.m. in Carolina Village's hall. Tavernier plays elaborate Liszt and DeBussy pieces then, then again in Arts After Dark April 6. That gala is 5-8 p.m. in BRCC's Conference Hall. He represents the local Arts Council. HSO, BRCC musicians, Carolina Concert Choir, Releve dancers, HCT and Flat Rock Playhouse also perform. Tickets are $25 in advance, or $30 at the door.
Continuing his orchestral tour into Rutherford County, Tavernier will play Rachmaninoff May 7 and Beethoven's Ghost Trio May 26-28. His orchestral debut was at a state-record age of 13, with the Tar River Philharmonic Orchestra in Rocky Mount in fall 2013.
The third area orchestra he is apt to play with this year is Asheville Symphony this fall, ASO officials said. It would make up the Young People's Concert of Asheville Amadeus Festival cancelled March 15, due to snow. About 2,500 students will see a teen play with the adult orchestra and Secret Agent 23 Skidoo (Joel Sullivan). The theme is Mozartistic, the new "kid-hop" witty rap recording of Grammy winner Skidoo with Mozart snippets.
Tavernier was tabbed as sole youth to play in the show, by winning ASO's Young Artist Competition last year. "It's going to be a great experience," he said. He enjoyed the dress rehearsal March 14 with veteran, proficient musicians.
He is slated to play a Mendelssohn piece he calls "energetic, light, happy." He said he has performed it so often, he has etched a consistent interpretation leaving no guesswork for ASO.
McKnight admires Tavernier's "coolness," and blend of "confidence" with "humility." Tavernier still acts boyishly shy in taking curtain calls, which reminds the audience he is 16. But he is becoming extremely articulate with fans after shows, in explaining music he performed.
Tickets for the Three B's concert benefiting HSO are each $36. This includes a complimentary DVD of a prior Masterwork concert with Tavernier — only if buying tickets in the Hendersonville Visitor Information Center (693-9708) at 201 S. Main St. To reserve Arts After Dark tickets, call the Chamber of Commerce at 692-1423. For more on the Sept. 2 concert, check worldmasterworkseries.com.

Dec. 5 (UPI) -- WWE Champion Daniel Bryan -- who now refers to himself as the new Daniel Bryan -- brutally assaulted AJ Styles on Smackdown following The Phenomenal One's match against The Miz.
Styles and The Miz were pitted against each other Tuesday after Bryan had a sit-down interview with the A-lister on Miz TV.
The Miz -- who has famously feuded with Bryan for years -- attempted to get the champion to admit to finally seeing the value in cheating to win. Bryan instead proceeded to attack the live audience for their many sins against the environment.
Styles then arrived onto the scene and marched into the ring looking for a fight. Bryan quickly pushed The Miz into Styles, causing The Miz to later attack Styles with a Skull-Crushing Finale after Styles had finally reached Bryan.
Styles was able to defeat The Miz in the main event after applying his Calf Crusher submission hold despite Bryan attempting to interfere in the bout. Bryan then quickly went after Styles again and started attacking his new rivals left leg.
Bryan tortured Styles with his submission hold the Heel Hook and by kicking him multiple times in the face. Bryan will be defending his WWE Championship against Styles at TLC on Dec. 16.
Also on Tuesday, Smackdown Women's Champion Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Asuka signed their contracts to face each other at TLC in the first-ever Women's Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match.
The trio of competitors took part in a war of words with each other with Lynch claiming that Flair did not deserve another shot at her title and Flair stating that she already defeated Asuka at WrestleMania.
Lynch was the first to sign the contract and quickly left the ring. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville then presented themselves after Flair and Asuka added their names to the dotted line, leading to a Tag Team Match where Flair and Asuka would need to work together.
The Queen and The Empress of Tomorrow were unable to co-exist, however, with Flair accidentally kicking Asuka off of the ring apron. Asuka returned the favor by striking Flair with a sliding kick, allowing Rose and Deville to pick up the victory.
Other moments from Smackdown included Jey Uso defeating Xavier Woods and Cesaro in a Triple Threat Match; and Randy Orton defeating Jeff Hardy after the high-flyer was distracted by Samoa Joe.

Changes at Rotherham Titans as experienced coach and 16 new players sign in
By David Beddows | 08/06/2019
Anthony Posa...new joint head coach of Rotherham Titans.
IT'S all change at Rotherham Titans as the club steps up preparations for next season.
Head coach Joe Barker will leave the club this summer to pursue a playing and coaching opportunity in Hong Kong.
His replacement will be Yorkshire U20s coach Anthony Posa, who will become joint head coach alongside forwards coach Matt Smith.
Assistant coach Christian Head is also moving on after being offered an assistant director of rugby role at the school in which he works
The announcement comes in a week in which the Titans announced 16 new signings, including a return to the club for prop forward Toby Williams.
And in the experienced Posa (48), Rotherham believe they have a man who can help take the club forward in their second year in National One.
Originating from New Zealand and with a Croatian heritage, he joins from Bradford and Bingley and has been head coach of Yorkshire U20s for the past 12 years, winning the national county title eight times. He also coaches the Croatian national team and their 7s team and is head coach at the University of Sheffield.
He said: "I am extremely excited to be joining Rotherham and to start work with the excellent squad assembled.
"There are a lot of lads here who I have coached in the past who I'm keen to continue working with, but I'm even more keen to meet the other talent in the squad and start getting some 'hard yards' under our belts."
Joe Barker...making a fresh start in Hong Kong.
Barker, still in his 20s, helped guide the Titans to sixth place in a player/coach role last term but the opportunity to move abroad was too good to miss.
He said: "After four great seasons, it is with heavy heart that I am leaving a club which I have come to love.
"I am looking forward to gaining experience in an international environment, taking what I have learned during my time at the Titans adapting it to fit a new and innovative playing environment in Hong Kong.
"I would like to thank the Titans for the opportunity and wish the club well in the future."
Barker and Head leave with the club's best wishes.
Director of rugby Martin Jenkinson said: "We want to thank Joe and Christian for their contribution.
"Last season was a tremendous achievement in stabilising the club after the traumatic events of the previous year.
"We are sure that with the abilities that they both have they will be successful wherever their careers take them.

Former NBN Co boss Mike Quigley warns Government review not to rewrite history
By national science and technology reporter Jake Sturmer Updated Tue 3 Dec 2013, 10:37 AM AEDT
Former NBN Co head Mike Quigley warns new management that they have no time to lose.
Rodolfo Clix, file photo: www.sxc.hu
The former head of the National Broadband Network has warned the new management team not to rewrite history in its review of the NBN.
Mike Quigley was chief executive of NBN Co, the company rolling out the network, between 2009 and his retirement in October this year.
His replacement, former Telstra chief executive Ziggy Switkowski, is in the middle of a strategic review of the entire company.
It is investigating the viability of the former Labor government's fibre to the premise (FttP) approach.
The Coalition's fibre to the node (FttN) alternative takes the fibre to street cabinets and then uses the legacy copper network for the last link to the home.
FttP provides ultimately faster speeds, although an FttN network would be cheaper and completed faster.
Last week, Mr Switkowski conceded meeting the Government's 2016 target was likely to be a challenge.
Mr Quigley told a Telecommunications Society forum in Sydney that the new management had no time to lose.
"Don't waste your time being party to a rewriting of the FttP business case using nonsensical assumptions being made to prove a predetermined outcome," he said.
We asked what you thought of Mike Quigley's comments. Read the responses.
He says there is a risk in underestimating the demand for higher speeds.
"We can build an FttP network or an FttN network - there are risks either way," he said.
High speed internet will be a major part of our lives for generations to come, we need this to be equally competitive in the worlds business markets.
true blue ozzie, via comments
"You can run the risk of building more than Australians want or need in the future, or less than they want or need in the future.
"That latter risk exists because an FttN network cannot be easily upgraded to FttP in an NBN environment."
During Mr Quigley's time in charge, the network faced difficulties with missed forecasts but he made no apologies for the ambitious targets.
"This wasn't a project where hedging our bets, sandbagging and conservatism was going to work," he said.
"The NBN Co management team was not naively optimistic, but collectively had a good deal of experience in building large telco networks.
"Did we think it was likely that we were going to hit all of the targets we set ourselves, given the complexity and scale of the project, and a number of issues that were beyond our control?
"Of course we didn't."

SPP's Jose Raymond sets up befrienders programme in Potong Pasir
The Online Citizen 2019-07-04 Politics
The Singapore People's Party (SPP) has begun to show how its time investment in the single-member constituency of Potong Pasir has led to positive developments for residents in the estate.
On Thursday, 4 July, the SPP's Jose Raymond announced through a Facebook post that he has started a befrienders programme in the estate called Potong Pasir Sayang.
Sayang is a Malay word which is used to show care or love towards someone.
In his post, Mr Jose said that "as a result of our outreach and engagement, we are proud to announce the start of our very own befrienders programme called "Potong Pasir Sayang" which aims to provide support and be in constant touch with the elderly in the estate who either live alone or with a caregiver."
He added that the youngest befriender who has joined him was a 16-year old student and that all of the befrienders were residents of the estate.
He said in his post that the programme was started as a result of his team's knocking on doors and connecting with people in the estate.
The 'Potong Pasir Sayang' project is the latest initiative to be announced by Mr Jose in Potong Pasir.
A few weeks ago, he also announced how he had put together a panel of lawyers to support the needs of the residents in the estate who have sought legal advice from him.
In response to a query about the nature of the cases which residents are consulting him over, Mr Jose said the cases were "very diverse in nature" which is why a panel of lawyers with different areas of expertise was needed.
"I am thankful for the lawyers who have committed their time, and many on a pro-bono basis just to provide support for the families and residents in need in Potong Pasir.
"Likewise, I'm humbled by the residents who have volunteered to be befrienders. I'm eternally indebted to them for their support, but we are driven by the fact that we help change lives every single day," he said.

Indeed it will be: within three years it will be somewhere between extremely difficult and impossible to install software on a Mac from any source other than the Apple store.
I would have guessed OS X 10.8, but with these scammers getting aggressive I'm hoping they'll bring it forward.
Agreed. Honestly sometimes I think there should be a "computer test" similar to drivers test that forces you to learn basic computer knowledge before you go complaining that you're not being protected, when really you just did something stupid. Everyone needs to learn how to avoid scams on the internet, and to be cautious of all downloads. And that software from apple only comes through software update.
If this software installed automatically, as drive-by downloads do on PCs, THEN I could understand the complaint. But you agreed to infect yourself by installing something you didn't know what it was. End of story.
The irony of this is that people are so used to viruses on PCs that the trick of telling you your mac is infected worked. If people understood that their mac is protected, then they wouldn't have thought they needed any anti-virus software and would have canceled the install.
completely agree.. Virus/malware checkers on each computer is a waste of CPU and is doomed to failure. Learn from history people.
common to what kind of demographics.. common to your grandma?
Exactly. For normal users, send them to the App Store.
It isn't going to stop me from updating apps I know about, but it might stop people from being stupid*.
* When installing unknown software on their computers anyway. Uh, won't stop me from being stupid, either.
Giving up your right to download does not make you any safer. You're living a dream world.
I didn't say that. I said there are benefits to apple's walled garden approach. Apple strikes a balance with its approach to tablets and computers. If you want to get around their walled garden there is always the web. So try again. Additionally, the hitler reference is offensive. Maybe you could use a less offensive analogy to make a point or (in this case) not make a point.
Godwin's Law. You've lost this argument. Your point is invalid.
How does a user know if the "Automatically update safe downloads list" feature is working? Does it show when it was last updated? Is there a way to run a manual check?


Looking to tie one on? Haha, I partnered up with Martin Bowties and Lili Lavack to create some pretty wonderful bowties using some of my fabric designs. Here are a couple….. $60 each, pre-tied or the old school tie them yourself. More to come, stay tuned.

Happy New Year everyone. I hope the holidays were special and that the prospects for the coming year are looking good for you and your family.
January is traditionally the time for making New Year's resolutions. I am proposing that every club take steps to "consider" club resolutions, but think of them as experiments. That way, if you decide not to continue them after trying, that is fine. Rethink your club operation and how well it serves current members, encourages new members, and facilitates the functioning of the club. Rotary International long ago dropped the idea of one-size-fits-all for Rotary Clubs. For example, your club may want to meet formally twice a month instead of every week, may want to have a meeting each month devoted to working on a service project, or may want to have periodic meetings that are social and include families. It is entirely up to you and your fellow club members. Rotary International not only permits this kind of flexibility but encourages it.
In less than a month, the 2018 RYLA program will be here. This is a great opportunity for high school juniors. We have just selected our outbound students for the Youth Exchange program, and they have begun their training. Rotary has the best youth exchange program in the world, providing support and training for every single student. Rotary has great youth programs, including our Interact and Rotaract clubs. If your club would like more information about any of these programs, contact me and I will put you in touch with the right people.
We are moving toward having Youth Exchange scholarships so that qualified students whose family cannot afford the expenses of youth exchange can still study overseas. We have one such student from the Wooster club, who is raising money through a GoFundMe page. If you want to help, her name is Daisie. Click on her name to go to her site.
One of my themes this year was encouraging Rotarians to reach out beyond their club. That could be as simple as attending one or more nearby club meetings. But I want to encourage everyone in the district to consider attending either the District Conference (held in Warren on May 10 and 11) or the Rotary International Convention (held in Toronto on June 24 through 27).
The District Conference will be on a Thursday night and Friday (ending around 4 PM). It will be a fast-paced, entertaining, and inspirational conference. We have an excellent list of speakers, including the Rotary Coordinator for Zone 29 (16 districts in 5 states and Canada); John T. Capps, who has spoken all over the country about Rotary, our own Geoff Goll, who raised more money for Polio Plus as the Zone coordinator for Polio than any other zone in the world, and Brian Blasco, author of two books and an outstanding motivational speaker. We will also have the Youth Exchange talent show and Cultural Exchange, several other speakers from the district, the district winners of the 4-Way Test Speech contest, and several recognition ceremonies. You can register online starting in late February.
The RI Convention is very convenient this year (in Toronto). You will need a passport, but you will not need to learn another language. Toronto is a beautiful, cosmopolitan city, the perfect setting for an International Convention. If you have never attended and RI Convention, you will be amazed by all that it has to offer and by how inspirational it is. I guarantee that you will leave swelled with pride for being a Rotarian.
Congratulations to us all. This year's Paul Harris Fellow Challenge raised an all-time high of $27,564. Over the past 3 years, we have raised more than $75,000 for the Rotary Foundation.
"Operation Warm" remains a District Favorite!
Rotarians in District 6650 continued to partner with, and support, Operation Warm for a 6th year providing over 3,000 coats to children, and in some cases, adults throughout our District! Youngstown Rotarian PDG Debbie Esbenshade (2013-14) introduced this project to Division 1(a) clubs in 2012 which raised $20,000 and provided over 1,200 coats in its first year!
Debbie chose Operation Warm as her District-Wide Community Service project in 2013 and the response was overwhelming! Every single club (47 in all) participated either by sponsoring a coat(s), partnering with another club(s), or ordering coats directly for distribution in their own communities. Total dollars raised during the 2013 Campaign were just dollars short of $61,700 equating to over 3,420 coats distributed throughout our district!
This project has been supported by PDG's Phil Mariola (2014-15), Joe Belinsky (2015-2016), Sieglinde Warren (2016-2017) and current DG Mike Raulin. DGE Scott Schulick has already endorsed the project for 2018! In our first 6 years, District 6650 Rotarians have raised over $360,000 and provided over 18,000 coats!
Club Award submissions are due in the District Office, or to PDG Debbie Esbenshade no later than Thursday, March 15, 2018 for consideration for Awards that will be presented at the District Conference.
Entries postmarked by March 15 will be accepted.
Submission guidelines are posted on the District Website.

In December, District 6650's Youth Exchange Committee conducted interviews for all students who applied to be an Outbound exchange student in 2018-2019. Many Rotarians, and a few non-Rotarians, volunteered their time to interview the applicants and the applicants' parents. Fourteen students were selected to participate in the program. The students began their training at the Wooster overnighter in January.

NASHVILLE – Buprenorphine is an important part of treatment for many with substance use disorder, and coupled with therapy and support it can save lives. However, Tennessee Department of Health data show an increase in deaths associated with buprenorphine when the drug is used with another respiratory depressant. As organizations and individuals across Tennessee work to reduce the impact of the epidemic of drug overdoses in our state, TDH is raising awareness of risks associated with buprenorphine when combined with other drugs.
TDH found a total of 67 deaths associated with buprenorphine in 2016. Most people had taken multiple drugs prior to death. However, the latest TDH analysis of drug overdose death data shows abuse of buprenorphine alone can sometimes lead to death. TDH data show ten Tennesseans only had buprenorphine present when they died between 2013 and 2016.
Buprenorphine is used in medication-assisted treatment to help people reduce or quit their use of heroin or other opiates such as pain relievers like morphine. Buprenorphine reduces cravings for other opiates, helping people regain stability in their lives. Medications such as buprenorphine, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, provide a wholepatient approach to treatment of opioid dependency. When taken in this way, buprenorphine is safe and effective.
Like opioids, buprenorphine produces effects such as euphoria, and as a result it can be misused. However, the opioid-like effects of buprenorphine are weaker than those of drugs such as heroin and methadone. Buprenorphine's opioid effects increase with each dose until at moderate doses they level off, even with further dose increases. This lowers the risk of misuse, dependency and side effects, but does not eliminate it.
Do not use illegal drugs, drink alcohol or take sedatives, tranquilizers or other drugs that slow breathing.
Mixing other medications with buprenorphine can lead to overdose or death.
Substance abuse is a treatable and preventable disease. Call the Tennessee REDLINE at 1800-889-9789 for immediate help for anyone suffering from a substance abuse disorder.

Life is all about letting go
Time for another melodramatic post from yours truly. Currently listening to the Rogue Wave single "Eyes" first featured in the movie Just Friends, with the lovably affable Ryan Reynolds, arguably (at least to me) one of the best comic actors today. His timing is impeccable.
Oh, and this song has also lent itself to the hit show Heroes on NBC mondays...if you aren't watching this show, then you can't even begin to understand that something is actually missing in your life.
Anyway, I thought it prudent, what with the worst smog I have ever seen in LA today, to write a little bit about what comes next. No, I don't mean the eventual rise to success we all crave, or even its eventual downfall, compelling many 'garden variety' liberal arts kids of today to procliam, "My life is a tragedy." In other words, a mid life crisis.
The sad thing is that using the word tragedy so freely is a major misconception of that word's meaning. Those of you not versed in theatre history, buckle in- a lesson begins here.
So of course we all know that essentially all that really old theatre (thousands of years old) can be broken into 2 categories before we homogenized them and eventually found its modern manifestation. Those two time periods are loosley coupled into Greek and Roman theatre.
These two eras were vastly different, one aligning itself with nature and the world of polytheism, the latter putting its faith in a sort of pre-humanism, a faith in man, not in god. A verdict from a democratic unbiased council, not a predestined fate from the gods.
From the Greeks, the earlier of the two by a long shot, came several concepts still employed today. Ever been to the Hollywood Bowl? How bout Deer Creek or Riverport? All of these theatres employ terraforming as their main basis. You sit in the naturally land-formed bowl, and the sound fills in around you, 9 times out of 10, with better acoustics than are even seemingly possible.
That's just one of em. But also from this time comes the classic Sophoclean work Oedipus Rex. This was, and will always be, the original defining tragedy.
We have formed a definition of the word tragedy through the course of events in that work*, using that play as our boundaries for what tragedy is, or forever will be. What did we find? Tragedy isn't just something tragic. No, in fact the adjective tragic is a derivitive of the word tragedy, obviously, but if you can ever track down a good dictionary, it should have them listed seperately. Why? allow me to define tragedy, in my own words.
tragedy:noun; of or pertaining to (hey, all definitions start with that mumbo jumbo) a course of events where someone successful and in power falls from their 'throne' through an error in their ways, only to find a lesson or meaning behind what went wrong. Often times the realization of this lesson results in the taking of ones own life.
Now, that is a definition almost strictly applied to the Sophoclean work. As I mentioned, dictionaries of today will say something vastly different.
The short long of all this crap is that none of our lives are tragedies. None of us have fallen from power, so applying that word will always be incorrect.
And why did I take all this time to say that? Because the life, the career I've chosen often thrusts me into rooms of people who don't know the words they are speaking, and really only care about name dropping. Hand in hand with that comes the coastal mentality that they are too smart to watch TV.
Now, I'll admit, I watch more TV than most, as it is my trade, and thus a form of work...that doesn't mean I class myself out of the medium. Its like someone saying to me, "well I loved Pointulisim, and most of Seraut's work, but the world art scene that was running concurrently- the picassos, that's not for me.
Its all art people. Even if TV is funded by the commercials between the actual show, it is art. So many people say they loved Arrested Development, and that it was too funny for TV. HBO's slogan is, "Its not TV, its HBO." Everywhere people think that if they watch TV it will lower their social status or make them dumber than before.
And for ages that plagued me, because I thought that made what I do, and what I've done with my life, completely trivial. But you know what? Life is about letting go.
So my annoyance and short fuse on that matter ceases here.
Long live madam Television!
*In case you've never read Oedipus Rex, here's essentially what happens:
A prophet tells Oed's dad that Oed will someday kill him, and marry his mother. Thinking it would undo the prophecy, he tells his right hand man to take Oed away and have him killed. The man takes Oed far away from the city, not having the heart to kill him, and leaves him there thinking so long as he is away, no bad can come. Instead, Oedipus encounters his father on the road one day and slays him. He returns to Thebes, his home, and marries the queen, his mother. When it is revealed that the prophecy was in fact true, his mother err wife goes and hangs herself. Oedipus gouges out his eyes, and is exiled away.
There's more to it than that, but it really is the original soap opera. Read it if you haven't, it's one of the most referenced dramatic works of all time.
in a little while...
Sorry I've been away so long. There's been so much going on, coupled with immense lethargy after the wrap of my most recent gig...and when those two start hanging out...well, we all know what happens: drug abuse, chronic alcoholism and mental dementia. Ha, I kid. Really what it means is that this lovely 'life-log' takes a less important role in what I do on a day to day basis. Sorry to be that way, but well...who am I kidding, I'm talking to myself, so who really cares.
The point is that here I am, I am back and writing to you (ergo me) again, and with much to say! Last time I wrote, I believe the Cards had just clinched against the Padres. Since then, we went to 7 (my prediction) with the Mets, and just squeaked by. Now, on the world stage, we stand 1 and 1 over a questionable pine tar handed former country singer's fried chicken ass hole! Detroit, for shame. You wanna win, at least use steriods...they're less obvious (did I really just write that?), and they taste better. Besides, like I need to warn any of you about the horrors of jerking off with a hand fulla pine tar. Lets just say the word superglue won't even do it justice. Although, I guess the other side to that coin, when using the juice, is that you'll just plain rip it off.
Ok, pine tar ain't so bad.
10 Items or Less finally came to a close, in a less than dramatic fashion. In fact, I spent my last week (of what I thought would be a cake walk) busting ass as hard as I did the 4 or 5 previous. I literally was spending 10 hours a day on the road, driving all over this goddamned city, but never actually leaving! You can only imagine how frustrating that must have been. Well, you're right.
I sit here, at 3 pm in LA and a bum, a female bum at that, is picking through trash cans outside my window. Only in LA (city or state abbrewviation accepted here).
Anyway, by the time 10 Items came to a close, I was so fucking done with that show I could almost taste it. And I think that the EP's I worked with knew I was mentally checked out. I mean, cause quite frankly...I can't drive in this town all day long and not poke a little smot. It just won't happen. There is too much traffic, I am too sressed out all the time, and without it, I'd either have killed someone by now, or been killed from running my mouth to someone with a gun.
So the stuff does have it's merits! And lets get rid of those 'parental advisory' stickers too! Yeah! USA!! USA!! USA!!
Sadly, I'd never beat Brock Obama and Oprah Winfrey...but then, who will? Perhaps they'll travel to the future, win, and then come back, win again and kick their old vote count's ass! Yeah, that'd certainly be the only way.
So after 10 Items closed, I worked a weekend on a short film some friends, and DU alums, were producing. It actually landed me a small role, and I got to manage properties and playback continuity, etc. Things like that. No one really realizes that you can shoot and shoot and shoot til you're blue in the face and out of money...but if that coke can in the one shot you wanted was different than all of the rest of the scenes, then it was for nothing, cause it will be forever flawed. There is so much that goes in to so little it's absurd.
That following monday and tuesday (we're into last week now), I worked on an HGTV pilot called Buy It. It was fun. A whole sleuh of people I'd never met before, so it was a great way to make some new contacts, and even some new friends. Ok, contacts. Whatever. That's just the LA word for friends. Everyone uses everyone. Get used to it. The trick is how to play the game...like, I don't know... be genuine and real and don't succumb to that BS. That's what I did and look where it got me! Bright Lights, my name in a marquee, and millions of dollars and boobs.
After that show wrapped up I took a few days off and just sort of hung out. Scheduled some extra work for myself, and today, as of 1:30 PM, I am proud to say...
I am 100% SAG elegible!
And it feels great! Actually, it feels the same, but I was glad to get that last voucher out of the way, and finally be able to make the leap if and when I decide to. Not that that was an obstacle or a hurdle, but it was something I wanted. To prove I could. Now that's done with and I'm in the door. Just wait kids.

BECK- The Information
You know what, FUCK PITCHFORK*. Those guys have gotten so elitist. Wait, gotten? I meant are. Have been. Will be. Can't not be. Sure, give Beck a 6 point whatever, but do it because you liked his efforts on some rare b-side no one has ever heard and you think you're cool cause you reviewed it, blew your socks off. But there's a paradox as a pitchfork reviewer. To share this great music with the world, or not to. More oft than not, they share it. But they share with us what they think is good, a far cry from what the average ears wants to listen to. Sure, I love the Junior Boys now, but would my kid cousin? No, but I bet he's heard of radiohead, and I bet somewhere out there, someone has drawn the comparison, so in that regard, I can shed light as to what the Junior Boys are, and maybe peek his interest.
That was a tirade.
What I mean to say is that Beck is about as pop culture as you can get, in a good way. Beck made the term 'hipster' a reality in 1986. Seriously. And for all of you keeping score, that was 20o years ago. So if you think you're hip now, chances are you're not, so get over it.
But Beck has always been, and he's yet to put out an album that proves otherwise. I use a simple test when reviewing an album. Can I listen to it in a home, AND can I listed to it in a car. If both are true, you've got a bonafied hit on your hands. This album tends to fall closer to the 'in the car' category, but regardless, its stilla great effort.
Because, and getting right back to it, I guess my biggest complaint about pitchfork is that they are only looking at this one guy's one effort. I don't think you can really do that. Rather, I think its important to note that Beck is on the front of culture here, especially with today's youth, and the albums he puts out are always good. So you don't like track 7. BFD loser. Just because one song, which would never be a radio/MTV single anyway, isn't top notch, doesn't mean the effort as a whole is far superior to almost anything else coming out right now.
There are two types of music people: inclusive and exclusive. Those that hoarde their music to themselves, and those that share it with others. Well, you can guess where I fall. Wait...ok, you guessed wrong. I am inclusive. No, really I am. I just hate indie kids.
And that's different.
Anyway, not much actual reviewing going on here, but this album is fantastic to either passively enjoy or actively dissect. Try doing that to Cat Power's new whatever the fuck who cares Pitchfork Devendra Banahart. Good for him.

*realize, of course, that although this site is elitist as fuck, they also open some doors to the avid music fan, exploring genre's and artists some people would never know existed otherwise. So I can't totally say that, but as a person that used to visit their site daily...well, those days are long gone. Ok they're not. Fuck you.


The Chartered Institute of Bankers, Ghana (CIBG) says it would focus on developing digital services for the banking industry in the country starting 2017.
Newly inducted President of CIBG, Reverend Mrs Patricia Sappor said her administration will drive improvement in the banking sector to satisfy the needs of customers.
She told Joy Business the changes which the CIBG is spearheading in the banking industry were necessitated by current trend of customer needs.
Rev. Mrs sappor made these comments during an interview with Joy Business, after she was sworn-in as the new President of the Institute.
According to her, CIBG would collaborate with Ghana's Central Bank to enhance the operations of Microfinance and Non-Banking Financial Institutions.
She takes over as president of the institute from Jude Mettle who has served his two-year term as president of CIBG.
Per the establishing document of the Institute, she is expected to end her tenure in the next two years.
Rev. Mrs Sappor is the first female president of the CIBG since its 38 years history. She is currently the Head of Corporate Communications at ECOBANK Ghana and Anglophone West Africa.
She became an Associate Member of the Institute of Financial Studies, U.K, 1995 having studied at City Banking Collage U.K from 1991 to 1995.
Prior to her election, she served as Vice President of the Institute from 2012 to 2016, after she had served 13 years representing ECOBANK on the institute's Governing Council.
She was subsequently awarded a fellow of the CIBG in 2008.
Rev. Mrs Sappor was also the Chairperson of the Editorial and Publicity Committee and the Education and Programmes Committee of the Institute.
While serving those capacities, she brought her expertise to bear on both the industry and academic activities.
She is a motivational speaker with great organisational skills as well as an ordained Minister of the Action Chapel International.

Q: Passing a URL Parameter to a Colorbox I have a simple voting system with a colorbox as the voting form. When a person clicks on vote, it takes them to vote.html?id=X (x being a number). vote.html gets displayed in the colorbox. In the colorbox, I get the URL Parameters, but it does not find id as a parameter. Any idea how to pass id into the colorbox? Here's the code...
Javascript:

The following is Javascript from vote.html that appears in the colorbox

Here when I alert shirtId, I get undefined.

A: I don't know what's wrong with your regexp, but try using this function to parse the id instead.

A: It looks like you should be using an iframe instead of ajax.  You aren't creating a new window object when you use ajax, so window.location refers to your current location (not vote.html).

Robinson Family Vineyards
Longtime Napa Valley residents, Tom and Susie Robinson-Jinks, proudly carry on the Robinson Family Vineyards legacy which began in 1967 when Susie's parents, retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Bud Robinson and his wife, Helen, purchased the 78 acre property in what is now known as the renowned Stags Leap District.
Convinced in 1970 to plant the property to vineyards by friends and neighbors, including wine-industry pioneers Nathan Fay and Father Tom Turnbull, Robinson Family Vineyards was born and, with it, the rich tradition in family winemaking that exists to this day.
Under our flagship Robinson Family label, we specialize in the five classic Bordeaux varietals such as Cabernet, Merlot Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petite Verdot, varietals for which the Stags Leap District is broadly celebrated.
Great Legs, was developed by our three daughters Carrie, Kim and Robin and represents the more playful side of the family.
All of Robinson Family Vineyard's small-production wines are crafted with the passion, care and precision that comes from family ownership.

The headline at Think Progress on Friday was, "West Virginia Pushes Bill That Could Make Its Dismal Voter Turnout Worse." You read that right. On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee advanced HB 4013, a bill requiring voters to provide photo id when voting. The bill passed the committee on a strict party-line vote, with Republicans voting in favor and Democrats opposed. Although the bill has not yet been reported to the House floor, we expect a vote on the bill later in the week.
In the 2014 election, only 37% of West Virginia voters cast ballots – the lowest turnout in at least six decades. In 2012, the state ranked 50th in nation, the only state where less than half of eligible voters went to the polls. With such "dismal" turnout, this is no time to enact measures that risk further depressing the vote – especially the vote of seniors, people of color, low-income voters and students, populations that are less likely to possess government issued photo identification.
HB 4013 is less strict compared to voter id laws adopted by other states. As noted in the Gazette-Mail article, voters who lack photo identification could still cast a provisional ballot and potentially have their votes counted without taking additional action. Additionally, the Judiciary Committee adopted an amendment by Delegate Larry Rowe (D-Kanawha) that would allow another voter or a poll worker to vouch for the identity of the voter, enabling them to vote a regular ballot. Other amendments adopted would allow older voters to use expired forms of photo identification with a recognizable photograph, as well as some forms of government issues identification that lack photo, such as Medicare and Social Security cards.
While these changes make the bill less objectionable, it remains to be seen if they will remain part of the bill. However, and perhaps more importantly, there's no evidence of the problem that the voter id bill would address.
Voter fraud, and more specifically, voter impersonation, is virtually nonexistent. A comprehensive search of federal and state records and news accounts by News21, an investigative reporting program headquartered at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University, found only 10 cases of voter impersonation fraud nationwide from 2000 to 2012. These 10 cases accounted for only 0.5 percent of the 2,068 cases of alleged voter fraud that the group documented. The most prevalent fraud was absentee ballot fraud at 24 percent. In the cases of absentee voter fraud all of the accused were political candidates or campaign workers, not individual voters.
Please contact your delegates and ask them to vote "No" on this unnecessary and restrictive voter ID law.

NOTD:Essence VIP Appeal - Cherry Colors - Cosmetics Heaven!
Yesterday or the day before my sister sent me a picture of this pretty baby on her nails (yah we do that - send pictures of nail polishes). She said something like 'it would be prefect for your blog', or at least I understood it that way. So here it is! I had it on my nails for a day too, it was really nice! The application was kind of really dense, it dried itself quickly (during apply! so you have to be really fast) but otherwise it was cool! I liked that it was actually dry after some short minutes. I know that lots of people don't like these Color & Go because of the application problems, but if you can work your way quickly, then it's just perfect for you! It can be compared to Essie Status Symbol, but status symbol is a tad darker, but still it's really pretty!
What do you think? Do you like the color?

Nordbyen Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Molde Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the Nordbyen area of the town of Molde. It is one of the churches for the Bolsøy parish which is part of the Molde domprosti (arch-deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The red, brick building was built in 1995 as a school using plans drawn up by the architect Asbjørn Bua who worked at the architectural firm BBW.

History
The building was originally constructed in 1995 as a school.  It was built in collaboration between the municipality and the parish. The agreement was that the municipality was given the use of the building for ten years as a school, and following that, the parish would take over the building. In 2005, the parish took over the building and remodeled it into a church. The new nave has a fan-shaped design. The church was consecrated on 5 March 2006 by the Bishop Odd Bondevik. The church is now used for worship services once per month as well as for Sunday school and confirmation instruction.

February the fourth is World Cancer Day – there's no better time to play your part in the fight against cancer.
Ben plays for Manchester City and England Junior Amputees. He is 15. Thanks to research, Ben has been able to keep playing the sport he loves.
At nine years old, Ben was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer called osteosarcoma. His mum Dawn knew something was up when her sporty son said he didn't want to play football anymore because of the pain in his leg.
'The doctor took him through – examined and checked him – and decided to take him for an x-ray,' says Dawn. 'After they scanned him, they called me over to show me the images – and I could see that it was cancer.' Doctors worked to save his leg and Ben was given chemotherapy, but the cancer was very aggressive and the time was approaching to consider alternative treatment. 'The surgeons gave me the option of having my leg amputated or having regular treatment. It was my decision to make on my own,' says Ben.
'I decided on amputation, because I saw people like Jonnie Peacock running at the London Paralympics and saw that being an amputee didn't stop them. Seeing those Paralympians made me realise that I'd be able to do more than I had thought.
'I train at Man City on Tuesdays and play matches on Fridays. I went to Poland with England Amputees last year and am going to Turkey this year. I'm a right-winger, and like to pretend I'm a bit of a Lionel Messi! There aren't many players better than him.
Today, as many people survive cancer as die from cancer. But there's still much more to do.

Religion and kids and Israel and me.
I can't really blame the ganenot (my kids' teachers). It's not their fault it all looks so terribly confusing. Or actually that it looks so black and white: my kids go to a Chabad gan system, and therefore, it must have made my son very 'religious' minded.
You see, on most days, he wears a black velvet kippah. The days he doesn't, it's blue sruga (knitted). Every day, he wears tzitzit. He must have a very heimeshe soul, and we must be doing something 'right'… right?
Then again, look at his mom. She takes him to gan in leggings and running tops, and picks him up in skinny jeans and red toenail polish. Oh. She must be secular. Good thing she's sending the kids to Chabad!
You know who gave him the tzitzit before you and he started saying the bracha every day. Right?
You know why we chose Chabad over the government-religious gan, right?
You know I grew up learning and practicing the halachot, many halachot you may not have dreamed of, halachot only men need to know, sukkah-building rules emblazoned in my brain. You know I've gone down the shomer negiah road, I've cried at the kotel, I've yearned for Mashiach. One day or another.
Maybe I ought to try a black velvet kippah and tzitzit next, eh?
What you don't know, though, is that he likes to dress up in a pink butterfly costume. And sometimes asks for a coo-coo like his sister. And that I give it to him. In public.
Anyway. The black and white of the black and white here is fascinating to me. I miss Diaspora like that. My charedi brothers-in-law have gone to pick my kids up from gan and my IAF soldier brother has, too. We're a bundle of odd identity.
If they only knew what I know. Or not. Who cares.
I just don't care for the patronizing.
But I can't blame them, I guess. It looks funny on the outside. Consider the shock of the actual secular parents we pass on the street.
Here are three facts: I'm a very spiritual person. My son loves the color black. And he cherishes the kippah my brother-in-law gave him.


Recently, in the Matter of the Estate of Del Bagno, Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, Docket No. A-3789-09T2, the Court examined the interplay between New Jersey's Multi-Party Deposit Account Act (N.J.S.A. 17:161-1 to -17) and the law of Undue Influence. Specifically, the case deals with the shifting burden of proof in such cases. The Multi-Party Deposit Account Act provides that where two individual jointly own an account, the surviving joint account holder is assumed to be the owner of the account when the co-owner dies. The presumption can be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence of a different intent at the time the account is created. Typically, the burden to overcome this presumption is on the challenger, i.e. the person arguing that the joint account was set up for convenience. However, where that party establishes that a confidential relationship existed between the survivor and the decedent the burden of proof shifts to the survivor to rebut a presumption of Undue Influence. In this situation, the survivor must prove that the joint designations were intended as a voluntarily gift and that the donor understood the legal effect of the transfer of assets into the joint account.


The world turned upside down on Saturday night, as four original cast members from Hamilton, including star and creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, said goodbye to the breakout musical.
The final curtain call for Miranda and stars Leslie Odom, Jr. and Phillipa Soo, as well as ensemble member Ariana DeBose, was broadcast via Facebook Live on Saturday night, allowing fans to see the actors' final farewell on stage at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York.
As the crowd gave the cast a standing ovation, the four departing actors hit center stage and bowed to fans. Then, as the orchestra played the theme from The West Wing, Miranda himself grabbed the spotlight alone, and nodded to the audience one last time.
"It's been a bit of a day. Wits intact. Love you. Good night," Miranda, who played Alexander Hamilton in the Tony Award-winning musical, wrote on Twitter after the show. He'll be replaced in Hamilton by Javier Muñoz, Miranda's alternate, starting July 11.
Elsewhere, Odom dedicated his final two performances, both the Saturday night show and the afternoon matinee, to Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, the five police officers killed in Dallas this week, and the victims of the Orlando, Florida gay nightclub massacre last month.

Film review: 'Nymphomaniac' directed by Lars Von Trier
Robin Pailler
Tue 14th Jan 2014 19.21 GMT
Whatever your opinion on Lars Von Trier, he remains one of the true provocateurs of contemporary cinema. By now it's hard not to have noticed the sexed-up marketing posters for his latest film Nymphomaniac, depicting its various stars with their best orgasm faces – Udo Kier is particularly great. Many have been quick to dismiss the film, claiming its existence as being merely for the exploitation of sex on screen and an excuse for Von Trier to push his videography of provocation ever further. Beneath its gratuitous exterior, however, lies a visceral, transcendent piece of cinema bound to fuel discussion on the themes of solitude, self-loathing and the timeless question of whether love is simply sex with added jealousy.
Originally intended as a five and a half hour uncut journey into nymphomania, producers have since sliced the film into two, two-hour parts for theatrical release. Von Trier's original uncut version is due to screen at the Berlinale next month for those keen to see his vision intact. Nevertheless, Part One presents an enthralling voyage into the life of a woman fully aware of her obsession, but unable to prevent herself from remitting.
Nymphomaniac opens with a series of slow establishing shots across a desolate estate as soft snow slowly falls. Its stark beauty is met by the figure of Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg), lying battered and bruised on the cold wet ground. As with his most recent outings in the form of both Antichrist and Melancholia, Von Trier takes great joy in juxtaposing the beauty of nature with human affliction. It's at this point German industrial favourites Rammstein, devour the opening silence with their trademark heavy rock soundtrack, as Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård) leaves his flat, only to discover Joe's motionless body before him. His offer to call an ambulance or the police are sharply refuted before Joe finally accepts his offer of warmth and a cup of tea. Thus begins a series of long flashbacks, told through chapters, as Joe begins to recount her adolescence and early years of nymphomania.
"I first discovered my cunt age two." The majority of Nymphomaniac Part One follows young Joe, played with subtle grace and beauty by British newcomer Stacey Martin, as she first embarks on her sexual encounters. From losing her virginity in the most unromantic manner to Jerôme (a surprisingly good turn from Shia LaBeouf), to competing with her friend B (Sophie Kennedy Clark) in having sex with as many people as possible on a commuting train, Joe's rapid descent into nymphomania seems to stem from her belief that there is no place for love in sex. Her relationship with her mother (Connie Nielsen) is nonexistent, yet her father (a somewhat rejuvenated Christian Slater) is seen as a kind soul, a doctor who teaches Joe the beauty of nature. In fact, the only occurrence of real emotion from Joe comes whilst her Father slowly dies in hospital. Yet even here, episodes of crying by his bedside are combined with passing sex with hospital staff in neighbouring rooms. It's the kind of dark-toned humour Von Trier fans will adore.
The standout performance of Part One comes via Uma Thurman's brilliant cameo in Chapter 3. Playing the role of Mrs H, a distraught woman, who after learning her husband is leaving her and their children for Joe, arrives at Joe's flat, kids in tow, to confront her husband and his new lover. "Do you mind if I show the children the whoring bed?", she politely asks. It's a masterful performance in an unforgettable scene, tip-toeing on the edge of melodrama and total farce.
Regardless of its moments of ridicule, Nymphomaniac is undoubtedly a serious, if not surreal, piece of cinema. Despite the opinion of early critics, every sex scene feels necessary and integral to the flow of Joe's story. Whilst it's difficult to judge the film without viewing Part Two (deemed much darker by some), it's clear Von Trier has created another art piece bound to raise debate for years to come. If Antichrist and Melancholia had a child, Nymphomaniac would be the result. Let's just hope it doesn't all fall apart in Part Two.
