Floyd, a writer committed to a mental institution, invites his parents, ex-girlfriend, and therapist to play themselves in a public reading of his new screenplay.

With Caitlin Duffy BMC '07, Alison King HC '09, Matt Klinman HC '08, Matt Lowe HC '06, and Jesse Paulsen HC '09. Lighting design by Kim Comer SC '09 and costume design by Katie Baratz HC '07.

We count each day a wonderful privilege here in this nation. The privileges our home land offers stand in stark contrast to many of the daily challenges the people in this nation deal with.
Fresh water, housing, commuting, quiet, order, work, the list goes on and yet all of those things pale into insignificance when lined up with what God is doing amongst the peoples of Nepal. Today we relished the privilege to spend time with a group of rescued women.
Rescued from unspeakable horrors imposed on them, freed to a new life, redeemed as they each met God and now living life large and in charge. Their smiles tell stories of miracles, healing and unconditional love. Such a privilege to be with them again.
The team are well and each enjoying the roles assigned while here. We have been progressing the sponsorship updates and taking new photos that show off many new hair do's, growth and accomplishments.
Mackay have a school group in western Nepal busily assisting there. They are a great group of young people who launched into their time here from the moment they touched down.
There have been many changes here. Not the least from the natural disasters but also changes in the ways programs are offered. A new regime of principals to ensure safety and protection for both the children and those visiting has been implemented. The inevitable teething time has called for patience as we negotiate the new approaches. These changes will result in continued positive experiences for all involved.
Grahame, Robyn and Agnes arrive soon from Myanmar to continue work at a new school venture in Hetauda.
Hetauda is an important sub metropolitan area in the south and is in close proximity to the Chepang peoples. The new school venture, hostels, water purification plants etc are critical steps for this region and the people we connect with there.
Until next time, thank you for your prayers, greetings from Nepal.

I started this blog to speak about mental Health. I suffered with, and still suffer with, Social Anxiety, Social panic Disorder, and depression. I used to cut myself, and suicide was on my mind often when i was a bit younger. The fact is there may never be a cure for many mental health problems, but we can learn to deal with the symptoms and we can learn to accept and love those we may not understand. So i make this pledge as part of the Mental Health project.
"I pledge my commitment to the Blog for Mental Health 2014 Project. I will blog about mental health topics not only for myself, but for others. By displaying this badge, I show my pride, dedication, and acceptance for mental health. I use this to promote mental health education in the struggle to erase stigma."
I can't be sure my words every truly help anyone, but this is the very least i can do.

another baby
The stepson's wife is to give birth in a month. His mother and her parents are already getting things ready. Their apartment is packed with baby things from everybody. She has more stuff than she would actually need but I don't blame them for getting everything they think they need. It is her first baby and she might come to use all of the baby items she has when the baby is born. Everybody is excited especially her parents and I won't be surprised if they will give birth announcements to let relatives and friends know about their grandson. If I had known at the time, I probably would have let the world know I was giving birth to a boy. Only I did not and so we kept our joy within the family. I hope she will have a safe delivery and a healthy baby.

The Weeknd has been hired by Puma as the sportswear brand's next star collaborator.
The group's frontman, Abel Tesfaye, tweeted that he will appear in Puma's new Run The Streets campaign, and will also design a footwear and clothing collection for PumaXO, launching next year. The only other question is, will his girlfriend Bella Hadid become his muse?
Tesfaye follows in the footsteps of Solange Knowles, Kylie Jenner and Rihanna, the latter of whom showed her latest collection for the brand – Marie Antoinette-inspired sportswear – during Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday.
He's already doing a sterling job of representing the brand, wearing a pair of Puma sneakers in his music video, Starboy.

Abstracting Trauma
Almost every narrative's central theme is overcoming a significant trauma that has led to significant adversity and hardship. In many instances this trauma is either the crux of the narrative or the creators' primary means of drawing emotion from their audience.
A traumatic event involves an experience or recurring experience that completely overwhelms an individual's ability to cope.
Frequently the theme of overcoming the trauma and 'moving on' or confronting the repercussions of that trauma are the core foundation of any narrative piece due to the highly controversial and emotional nature of the trauma. When the success of a piece is dependent on drawing an emotional connection between the individuals in the piece and the audience, beginning with a trauma that stirs emotions in the audience is fundamental.
Due to the controversial and highly emotional nature of trauma, the selection of those traumas for the piece are delicately selected to either develop characters or the primary plot. The selection is often made because the creator wishes to explore the depths of a particular trauma. What are the prolonged effects of child abuse on the child? What reactions does someone have after years of verbal abuse? How does an individual perceive the world after the loss of a loved one? How does a rape victim cope? These particular traumas are extremely powerful but it is also important to note that these can have an adverse response from the audience. Not everyone will want to explore these 'dark' emotions.
Attempting to explore trauma is highly contingent on understanding the psychological effects of the trauma on an individual. Often after a traumatic experience a person may re-experience the trauma mentally and physically. They may turn to drugs or alcohol to escape as psychological triggers cause a re-experience of the event. The individual may suffer feelings of intense anger, resentment and guilt. Upsetting memories such as images, thoughts or flashbacks may haunt the person. Nightmares and insomnia may occur as their repressed fears keep the person on edge. As these stressors continue it can lead to emotional exhaustion and ultimately emotional detachment.
In a narrative piece that utilizes trauma as both backstory for individuals in the piece and as a core element of the primary plot, it is paramount to understand what that trauma actually does to the individuals that experience it. Just as imperative is understanding how an audience will perceive that trauma and if they are willing to confront those 'dark' emotions.

When BMW announced their retirement from Formula 1 in 2009, it left BMW and F1 fans with the feeling that the Motorsport division has yet to achieved its potential. Looking in retrospective, the decision to leave the F1 ring was the right decision for the brand, on the eve of the world financial crisis and decreasing popularity of the most exciting racing championship in the world.
Over the years, BMW has constantly denied any rumors around an F1 comeback while reinforcing their support for the more spectacular DTM championship.
BMW bought the Sauber private team ahead of the 2006 season, rebranding it BMW-Sauber and winning the 2008 Canadian grand prix. Now Sauber's boss Monisha Kaltenborn says the team remains in contact with its former owner and works partner.
"We have always been in the midfield and for BMW (we) were a pretty good platform to enter as the majority owner," she is quoted by Germany's motorsport-magazin.
She explained that, even in the works days, the number of BMW-specific staff at Hinwil could be counted on a hand or two.
"This shows that if we have the right type of financing, we can make a huge leap forwards," said Kaltenborn. "But of course you need a little more to go all the way forward."
She is not even ruling out a return to F1 for BMW one day.
"They know us personally very well and we have good contacts with them. They know what they want and so it makes no sense to try to persuade them. We'll see," said Kaltenborn.

Weep you no more, sad fountains
Here's another poem from Sense and Sensibility. The words are of unknown origin, but John Dowland set them to lute music in the early 17th century. In the film, Marianne sings them to music written by Patrick Doyle.
Weep you no more, sad fountains;What need you flow so fast?Look how the snowy mountainsHeaven's sun doth gently waste.But my sun's heavenly eyesView not your weeping,That now lies sleepingSoftly, now softly liesSleeping.Sleep is a reconciling,A rest that peace begets:Doth not the sun rise smilingWhen fair at even he sets?Rest you then, rest, sad eyes,Melt not in weeping,While she lies sleepingSoftly, now softly liesSleeping.
