3 Why Natural Gas? Why Now? Why Natural Gas? Proven contributor to economy, environment and energy security Jobs and economic growth Creates nearly 3 million jobs – direct and indirect – resulting in $180 billion in labor income between 2005 - 2010 Contributes to economy – over $3.5 billion per year average in government revenues between 2005 and 2010 Contributes to global competitiveness Environmental benefits Low emissions Small land footprint Sustainable Essential to complement renewable energy sources Domestic energy security More than a 100-year supply and growing Why Now? Abundant, secure and domestic Huge untapped shale gas resource newly unleashed by innovation and technology
4 2001 to 2013 - A Decade Makes a Difference ThenNow # 60-year supply and falling Shale known but uneconomic to develop Underground gas storage primarily traditional reservoir, operationally not very flexible Pipeline capacity growing incrementally Rising prices with several spikes 100+ years supply and growing Flourishing production, vast shale resources now accessible Storage boom with more flexible salt- cavern facilities and additional market area storage 16,000+ miles of interstate pipeline added since 2000 Plentiful supplies moderate prices and provide supply diversity
www.woodmac.com 5 More Than 100-Year Supply Estimates are always evolving and usually growing with improvements in technology. If the 1966 estimate of 600 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) had remained static, the U.S. would have run out of natural gas about 10 years ago. Estimates fall on the conservative side: history shows us there is more to be discovered.
www.woodmac.com 6 How The Game Has Changed Improvements in technology brought down costs and greatly increased the scope of resource development Shale gas production quadrupled between 2006 – 2012 and is poised to comprise more than 40% of U.S. gas production in 2020 Shale and other "unconventional' gases could account for over 80% of U.S. gas production by 2020, compared to 66% today Diversity of supply complements strong and growing pipeline system, reduces vulnerability to hurricanes, brings natural gas closer to consumers Gas Production by Type Through 2040 Source: EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2013
7 Technology Makes It All Work Drilling technology improvements and efficiencies in shale have emerged Longer horizontal laterals Multiple-stage hydraulic fractures per lateral Small surface footprint for multiple, extended wells Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing result in gas wells with long stable production lives Ground water is separated by thousands of feet and tons of impermeable rock and protected by state and federal regulation Significant amount of water is recycled "Micro-seismic" technology evolving and enabling even greater precision in fracturing wells Source: American Petroleum Institute
8 Abundant Unconventional Gas Widespread Across U.S. U.S. Gas Reserves Increased 22% between 2006 – 2009 Primarily Due to Shale Development Source: Energy Information Administration based on data from published studies Updated: May 2011
Government Oversight of Natural Gas Production Regulated by states and under the following federal laws: Clean Water Act – surface water discharge, storm water runoff Clean Air Act – air emissions associated with processing equipment and engines Safe Drinking Water Act – underground injection disposal/reuse of produced water and flowback fluids Federal Land Policy and Management Act – permitting for federal onshore resources Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act – permitting for federal offshore resources National Environmental Policy Act – permits and environmental impact statements Occupational Safety and Health Act – requires information about chemicals used at every site Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act – annual reporting to emergency responders of chemicals stored and used above certain quantities Extensive State Oversight – implement federal laws and regulate drilling fluids and produced water management Detailed state regulatory information available at www.STRONGERInc.org 9

www.woodmac.com 25 To Make It All Happen, Industry Is Committed to Good Stewardship Listening to and addressing community concerns Use of stringent industry and government standards on land reclamation, well construction, water management and pipeline safety Responsible hydraulic fracturing practices Minimizing surface effects on land and infrastructure Offshore safety and spill containment
26 … And Government Must Do Its Part As Well Fair access to onshore and offshore resources Continued strong and effective state regulation of hydraulic fracturing Level playing field: avoid picking winners and losers through mandates Tax policy must be fair, not burdensome, and compatible with resource development and job creation Financial regulations must not create "economic drain" on investment Current regulatory model for pipelines ensures safe, reliable operations and infrastructure investment

www.woodmac.com LNG Exports: Natural Gas Supply in Abundance Enough for all U.S. demand Plan: Bring dollars to U.S. and reduce trade deficit by selling LNG to overseas trading partners. Reduces U.S. trade deficit by billions of dollars. Each $1 billion LNG sold = 6,000 new jobs. Generates over $10 million/year in new tax revenue for federal, state, and local governments.
www.woodmac.com LNG Exports: Global Perspective Reality Check Most analysts estimate global market for U.S. natural gas to settle out at 5 and 6 Bcf/day. With formidable competition emerging from overseas. Proposed/potential 17 U.S. projects total about 23 Bcf/day. Costs to build high and financiers must be convinced price advantage is sustainable for 30 years. Market will sort out how many get built. 40

1868 · Philadelphia
by BOLLER, Henry A.
Philadelphia: T. Ellwood Zell, 1868. 8vo. (7 1/4 x 5 inches). 428pp. Folding map. Publisher's red cloth, expertly rebacked to style. First edition of a rare narrative of travels of a fur trader in the far west: complete with the folding map. Boller entered the fur trade on the Upper Missouri in 1858, in the service of the American Fur Company. Most of the book deals with his experiences with the Indians in Montana as a trader for the Company. His account is one of the most vivid and well written narratives of the trade, and one of the few relating to the period it addresses. At the end of his sojourn in the West, Boller spent some time in Utah among the Mormons. Wheat describes the map as notable for the places located and described in the text. It shows Montana and the Dakotas, with parts of Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska. Field 147; Graff 341; Howes B579; Sabin 6221; Streeter Sale 3079; Flake 582; Wheat Transmississippi 1180.

aracid posted a topic in EffectsHey all Could anyone point me in the direction to get a rigid body sim into UE4, I've got the Sim (it can be super simple) and I'd prefer FBX. Ideally I don't want deforming geo. The closest I've found is this workflow but it seems like the code isn't maintained. (This isn't mine) LINK https://vimeo.com/124874315 https://www.orbolt.com/asset/LaidlawFX::RBDFBXExport::1.0 I wanted to know if there's something I'm missing. Thanks once again in advance. Brian
Sedatyf posted a topic in GamesHi ! I was trying to do some Vector Field or Velocity Grid for Unreal. And during my research, many forums redirected me on the asset Velocity Grid Exporter by Benny Yang on Orbolt. That's an amazing tool but it doesn't work on H15.5 with Particle Simulation. I don't know why, I tried to look through the code, but I can't see what's wrong. Do I make a mistake in using it ? Is there another solution to export Vector Field or Velocity Grid to Unreal ? Any help is welcome ! Cheers, Gaël.

The 1926 Noire et Blanche, depicting the Surrealist painter and performer Kiki of Montparnasse, was first published in French Vogue. Yesterday it formed part of the first single-owner sale of photographs to be held at Christie's, New York, which fetched a total of pounds 1.2m. Noire et Blanche is best known by its positive version alone - shown above. Matching pairs of vintage prints of the positive and negative images, such as the pair sold yesterday, are considered extremely rare.
Two other record prices - for images by Margaret Bourke-White and Berenice Abbot - were established at the sale from Barry Friedman's photographic collection.

Have you made your family tree yet?
Have you made your family tree yet?
Well, it's about time you did.
The genealogical craze has been sweeping the country for several years now, and you don't want to be the only person in your neck of the woods without a listed great-great-grandmother, do you? Of course you don't.
In the words of the motto of the Genealogical Society: "Nobody got here without having forebears, or if they did, we'd certainly like to hear about it."
So, let's make our family tree, step by step.
First, you have to decide what kind of tree you want to have as a model.
Do you like the idea of a birch?
Or a clipped yew tree?
Or a tall slender poplar?
In the old days, most family trees resembled a rather untidy, sprawling giant oak. This was partly because there were far too many people in Victorian families, and partly because Victorian handwriting tended to be not very neat and would ramble right to the edge of the page.
Nowadays, thank goodness, people don't have nearly so many children, and family trees tend to be a lot tidier, especially if you have a computer.
But if you do have lots of cousins and aunties, not to mention poor old Uncle Sidney, and you can't get them all on your family tree without squashing them in, you may find yourself having to cut a lot of them out.
Well, a family tree is like any other kind of tree.
It benefits from a lot of pruning and cutting back.
Remember the motto of the Genealogical Society: "The more relations you ignore, the more room there is for all the others."
Right! Time to start your family tree. Get a large piece of paper. Put your name near the bottom of it. Ask yourself: "Who was my mother?"
If you know, put her name above yours and connect the two with a line.
Now do the same for your father, if you know who he was, and connect him to your mother with an = sign.
If you don't know who your father was, ring up your mother and ask her. While she's on the line, ask her what year she was born but don't let the conversation get to the point where she asks you why you forgot her birthday last year.
Right! Now you should have a diagram looking like this:
Father = Mother
It's not much, is it? And it doesn't much look like a tree yet, does it? More like a sycamore seedling. But don't worry! From tiny thingies mighty thingies do grow. Keep adding people to the different generations, and, pretty soon, you will have a proper tree, which will look something like this:
Masses and masses
of people
Do you see how this is much bigger at the top than at the bottom? Hugely bushy at the top and thinner and thinner the nearer to you it gets?
Why is this so? Because, in the words of the Genealogical Society's motto: "We all have more forebears than descendants, Dummkopf."
Round about now, it will suddenly occur to you that a family tree is nothing like a real tree at all. All real trees are hugely bushy near the bottom and tend to get thinner and thinner nearer the top, where the growing tip is.
But a family tree has its growing tip at the bottom and its roots at the top, dangling in mid-air! Why, it is nothing like a real tree at all!
What you have got here is a monstrosity. All those visits to parish registers and phone calls to Aunt Flo in New Zealand have been in vain.
What you have got is not so much a family tree, more like a creeper coming down from the forest canopy with all sorts of bugs and crawlies in it, the sort of thing even David Attenborough might make fun of. Ugh!
No wonder the next thing you do is stuff your family tree away in a drawer and wish you'd never bothered.
Or, to quote the motto of the Genealogical Society: "Too late now - we've already got your money, sucker!"Reuse content

I like this dash cover a lot! I did have some trouble putting it on with out having someone holding it in place. It looks really great. Thank you

It's a classy looking dash cover. The Velcro pieces hold it down but it still shows creases. It was tough to decide where to put the Velcro to make the cover secure. That's the only issue. Otherwise, the cover enhances the plush look of the Beetle. And the matching steering wheel with the dash cover gives it a luxury-vehicle look. They both finish off the interior nicely.

There Stands the Glass
Kansas City's original music blog.
Monday, April 24, 2017
Do I look tired to you? I feel compelled to leave a few notes in this space before I embark on a recuperative respite south of the border.
I reviewed a concert by Dan + Shay for The Kansas City Star on Friday.
I attended concerts by Bill Frisell and Jack DeJohnette on Saturday. My impressions are published at Plastic Sax.
I reviewed Quality Hill Playhouse's production of "As Time Goes By" on Sunday.
Look for new rounds of my weekly music previews for The Kansas City Star and Ink magazine here.
Hyborian's Vol. 1 is my favorite Kansas City metal album in recent memory.
Spoek Mathambo's Mzansi Beat Code is allegedly only 58 minutes long. I don't believe it. Brimming with hundreds of fresh ideas, the project feels as if it lasts several hours. Albums don't often stump me, but I'm overwhelmed by Mzansi Beat Code.
I don't appreciate Joey Bada$$'s insurrectionary Land of the Free nearly as much as a few of my pals. RIYL: Noam Chomsky, A$AP Rocky, Amy Goodman.
I've been waiting for pianist Christian Sands to make an album as solid as Reach. RIYL: Christian McBride, promise realized, Gerald Clayton.
Rhymesayers uploaded footage of a 2007 Atmosphere concert at First Avenue. Here's "God Loves Ugly". As longtime readers of There Stands the Glass know, I can't get enough of that stuff.
Damn gets better with each listen. If you're not already on board, the video for "DNA" is a good entry point.

Concert Review: Salif Keita at Town Hall
During my previous trip to New York City, I heard Joyce DiDonato light up Carnegie Hall (my review) and sat a few feet from Dave Douglas, Lee Konitz, Matt Mitchell, Linda Oh and Ches Smith at the Jazz Standard (my review). While I experienced nothing quite as momentous on my visit earlier this month, I didn't go wanting.
I heard the artist known as the Golden Voice of Africa perform for hundreds of Malians in a historic venue built by suffragettes. It was a quintessential New York City experience. I uploaded a snippet to Instagram. Super-fan Banning Eyre reviewed the concert for Afropop Worldwide.
I reviewed a concert by In This Moment, Motionless In White, Avatar and Gemini Syndrome for
The Kansas City Star.
I wrote an extended concert preview about Mastodon for The Kansas City Star and Ink magazine.
My weekly music previews for The Kansas City Star and Ink magazine are here and here.
I named Alicia Solo KCUR's Band of the Week.
I laud Kansas City's new lounge band Agora at Plastic Sax.
Allan Holdsworth has died. Feels Good To Me might be the last prog/fusion album I enjoyed before the Sex Pistols, the Ramones and the Clash changed my outlook.
Orchestra Baobab's Tribute to Ndiouga Dieng is the leading candidate to be my all-purpose album of the summer. My next-door neighbors have already heard it twice as I've worked in my driveway. RIYL: life, Buena Vista Social Club, love. Here's "Foulo". (Tip via Big Steve.)
Tribute to Ndiouga Dieng is light and breezy, but Vieux Farka Touré's Samba is loud and brassy. RIYL: 1970s's-era Carlos Santana, dancing, Ali Farka Touré. Here's "Homafu Wawa".
Damn isn't To Pimp a Butterfly or Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City. So what? It's still essential. Kendrick Lamar remains the #rapmessiah. Here's "DNA".
I've always loved Decoy. Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah successfully updates the 1980s sound of Miles Davis on Ruler Rebel.
Rodney Crowell's Close Ties is a mishmash of great and cringe-worthy- songs. "Nashville 1972" is both.
Howard Shore's Two Concerti, ably played by Lang Lang, is a noble failure.

Concert Review: Chris Brown at the Sprint Center
Chris Brown is still a jerk. I was considering rejoining #teambreezy when I purchased a $30 cheap seat for the infamous star's return to the Sprint Center on Tuesday. My potential change of heart was completely thwarted three hours later when the spectacle concluded with a series of resounding explosions. With no corresponding visual effects, the gratuitous blasts seemed specifically intended to damage the eardrums of fans.
On stage about an hour, Brown sparingly doled out his brilliant talent. Even so, he remains equal parts Michael Jackson and Rick James.
An elaborate production that incorporated a few of the most appealing elements of the recent stage shows of Drake and Kanye West made me feel as if my $30 ticket was a bargain. I just wish I'd left five minutes before the show ended.
Aaron Randle reviewed the concert for The Kansas City Star.
I wrote an extended concert preview about John Mayer for The Kansas City Star and Ink magazine.
I write weekly music previews for The Kansas City Star and Ink magazine.

John Geils Jr. has died. I sold and marketed Geils' solo blues projects in the 1990s.

Concert Review: Lawrence Brownlee and Eric Owens at the Folly Theater
Lawrence Brownlee's powerful singing and enthralling emoting impressed me as I sat in the rear balcony of Carnegie Hall two years ago. When I discovered that I could secure front row seats for my cousin's April 6 show at the Folly Theater at an 80% discount, I jumped at the deal offered by the Harriman-Jewell series. I was rewarded for my nominal investment with my favorite show of 2017 to date. Yet it was Brownlee's fellow opera star Eric Owens who I most appreciated during the program of arias, Great American Songbook tunes and gospel selections. Less flashy but more stirring than Brownlee, Owens reduced me to tears as he delivered "Give Me Jesus." Jovial duets on uptempo selections like the ridiculous "Dolores" caused my face to ache from smiling so strenuously. Libby Hanssen reviewed the concert for The Kansas City Star.
I reviewed Kris Kristofferson's return to the Uptown Theater for The Kansas City Star.
I reviewed Judah & the Lion's concert at the Uptown Theater for The Kansas City Star.
I wrote extended concert previews about Radiohead and Chris Brown for The Kansas City Star and Ink magazine.
My latest rounds of weekly music previews for The Kansas City Star and Ink magazine are here and here.
I recently designated Second Hand King and Katy Guillen & the Girls KCUR's Band of the Week.
Donny McCaslin floored me at the Folly Theater on Friday. My notes are at Plastic Sax.
I did some work with Lonnie Brooks in the 1990s. The Chicago blues artist was a warm, generous man. Brooks died last week.
Until I read his obituaries, I didn't know that Arthur Blythe was married to the one-time Kansas City based vocalist and actress Queen Bey.
"I took my roof off at the red light!" I'm not too proud to admit that I can't get enough of Rick Ross' noxious Rather You Than Me. Here's "Trap Trap Trap".
I ordinarily don't have much patience for newly recorded mainstream jazz albums. Heads of State's All in One is an exception. The septuagenarian saxophonist Gary Bartz is in top form.
Raekwon's The Wild may be the strongest album by a Wu-Tang Clan member other than Ghostface of the last five years. Here's "This Is What It Comes To".
F*cked Up's "Year of the Snake" has restored my faith in 23-minute songs. RIYL: MC5, kicking out the jams, Dwarves.

Chuck Berry, 1926-2017
Prior to buying The Great Twenty-Eight as a new release in 1982, I thought of Chuck Berry as the guy responsible for the novelty hit "My Ding-a-Ling." The compilation rectified that misleading impression. The euphoric aggressiveness of Berry's earth-shaking songs was of a piece with a few of my other favorite albums of 1982, including the Clash's Combat Rock and George Clinton's Computer Games.
I attended my first Berry concert a year or two later. It was terrible. He was clearly going through the motions. Yet I didn't give up. My persistence paid off the third or fourth time I saw Berry. Lou Whitney and his cohorts in the Skeletons and the Morells acted as Berry's backing band at Parody Hall in Kansas City.
Fondly remembered in these parts as "the best bar band ever", the quality of Whitney's group clearly surprised Berry. The legend became increasingly elated as his exceptional pickup band survived each of his challenges. Against his contrary inclinations, Berry went all-in on that memorable night. I never saw him try half as hard again. Berry died yesterday.

Friday, March 17, 2017
Rather than shedding tears of grief upon learning of the death of the aged blues harmonica titan James Cotton yesterday, I was overwhelmed with gratitude for living during an era that enabled me to catch multiple performances by the luminary. I first witnessed Cotton at the original incarnation of Antone's in Austin. I heard him for the last time at the Uptown Theater in 2011. Thanks to the blues scare of the late 1980s and early 1990s, I also attended plenty of gigs by John Lee Hooker, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmy Rogers, Albert Collins, B.B. King, Bobby Bland, Honeyboy Edwards, Koko Taylor, Johnny Copeland, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Z.Z. Hill and many other since-departed giants. The blues was alright.
I reviewed last night's outstanding concert by Charlie Wilson, Fantasia and Johnny Gill at the Sprint Center.
I reviewed Ben Folds' concert with the Kansas City Symphony.
I reviewed the Quality Hill Playhouse production "Unchained Melody."
I write weekly concert previews for The Kansas City Star and Ink magazine.
I named Everette DeVan the KCUR Band of the Week.
I wrote an extended concert preview about Ariana Grande for The Kansas City Star and Ink magazine.
I reviewed the one-man play Live Bird at Plastic Sax.
Evan Johns has died.
Joni Sledge has died.
Tommy LiPuma has died.
New albums by the Kansas City based artists Samantha Fish, Hermon Mehari and Matt Otto were released today.
The heavy Kansas City rock band Hyborian is off to an auspicious start with "As Above, So Below".
Based on the stellar quality of the three advance tracks from Valerie June's new album The Order of Time, I was hoping for a modern-day Astral Weeks. It's not even close. The remainder of The Order of Time is merely good. RIYL: Van Morrison, celestial boogie, Iris DeMent.
I thought I'd outgrown 1980s college rock, but the Rolling Blackouts' The French Press makes me swoon in spite of myself. RIYL: The Windbreakers, 1985, the Go-Betweens. Here's "Julie's Place".
Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives' Way Out West is a showcase for guitarist Kenny Vaughan. RIYL: Dick Dale, spaghetti westerns, Marty Robbins. Here's the title track.

Monday Night Writing
Another night where I feel the urge to write.
What I haven't yet mentioned is that I'm off work until Thursday this week. It's rare for me to take any time off (I'm sure there'll be more days and weeks like this before the year ends) but I decided to force myself to take a break for once. Back in September, I had hopes and the beginnings of plans to go away for a weekend or two but other 'surprise expenses' closed the curtain down on that.
I'd planned to take this time off to do some things for myself (mostly walking); to try and enjoy a bit more of my life. My mum's been on holiday for almost two-weeks now and so, it's also been a bit of an experiment in noticing how or if my mood is different with one less person in this house…
New Self-Esteem?
Tonight, I'd like to write to you about my experience of the previous evening, when I finally began the NHS-funded Self-Esteem course that I signed up for following the end of the CBT-based lessons in Anxiety Management. This time, they've extended the course duration from 6 to a total of 8 weeks, which should allow people to get more form their chosen course (apparently, it's a common 'complaint' amongst past attendees).Continue reading
Dream Girl
It's not very often that I have dreams and I've never really been sure if that it isn't a sign that a part of my life needs to change. Dreams are a natural process of the subconscious, right? Maybe a lack of regular sleep is a factor. That's certainly been a habit of late; waking up frequently during the night and early mornings. Deliberately staying up late and, with time off work, laying in bed until it's almost noon.
One night in this last week though, I had a dream involving two women (calm down) that I'd like to try and share.
Queensryche – 'Silent Lucidity'
This is a song I love but don't listen to often enough. Neither can I name another song from this band although, I'm sure they're created many over the years. I'm not even sure how to pronounce Queensryche but, it doesn't matter! 🙂
Read on for the lyrics:
'Dear Dad' (A Letter)
This letter begins without a greeting because, let's be honest here; when have I ever greeted to you as my 'dad'?

Photo by Damo Momo
We've all seen the maternity shirts with the funny sayings on them -- everything from Love Hurts to I'm Not Fat, I'm Pregnant.
Some of them can be a bit brash, but this Bun in the Oven t-shirt ($25) from Damo Momo is more subtle.
Made from bamboo and organic cotton, Damo Momo's collection also includes a long sleeve version of the Bun in the Oven top, as well as solid color dresses and a few other items. They all look super comfy.
In my travels on the web I saw a shirt for my husband that said Real Men Make Twins -- silly, I know. But good for a giggle. I didn't buy him the shirt...instead just emailed him the photo for laughs.
Do you wear maternity shirts with cute or funny sayings on them?
Question: Maternity shirts with sayings like "bun in the oven" -- take it or leave it?
No thanks.
Yes, they are super cute.

In September 2015, HBO gave us the special Ferrell Takes the Field, an hour-long documentary following actor/comedian Will Ferrell joining ten different MLB teams in one day for a game of preseason baseball.
The purpose of the event was to raise money for Ferrell's friend's charity that helped give terminally ill kids an opportunity at college education, but instead of making a meaningful contribution that would go unnoticed like many would, Ferrell had to embellish it and make it all about him. This, in turn, led to a purposeless publicity stunt and a film that screamed nothing but vanity and ego for Ferrell himself.
With that, just in time for the holidays, Bill Murray, enough universally loved and respected actor, has decided to hop aboard the train of mindless projects that assume we, the audience, is just going to bust a gut throughout because the titular actor is the lead in the film. Sofia Coppola's A Very Murray Christmas is pointless Christmas special, never quite making the stride towards self-referential humor but never acting like a straight-forward comedy either. As a result, we get fifty-six minutes of Christmas carols from recognizable faces punctuated by a sulking and brooding Murray and banter between him and other celebrities.
The film revolves around a lonely Bill Murray, who has lost his holiday spirit after a vicious blizzard in New York City prevents guests like Pope Francis and Brad Pitt from showing up to his one-man-show "A Very Murray Christmas," where he was set to perform various Christmas songs. The venue he was scheduled to play at, New York's famous Carlyle Hotel, is nothing but an empty auditorium, and Murray's crushed sentiments can't even be curbed by the encouragement of a perky Amy Poehler. In the midst of this mess, Murray runs into Chris Rock, who agrees to perform a song with him in the meantime, and over the course of the day, Murray helps liven up a couple's (Jason Schwartzman and Rashida Jones) postponed wedding and finds the gall to sing alongside George Clooney and Miley Cyrus.
The end result shouldn't be as cheerless as it is. To begin with, the Christmas songs move at a snail's pace and are never played for the absurdity of circumstance. It also doesn't help that writers Coppola, Murray, and Mitch Glazer can't find a consistent tone for the project and don't really know how to handle the sardonic and often bleak humor of Bill Murray's character. Secondly, the scenes interjected in between the musical numbers aren't very funny or interesting either. They're more along the lines of nudging the audience at how allegedly funny it is that Clooney, Cyrus, and Murray, at one point, all share the same on-screen space. Most of these scenes are clear that Coppola and company just assumed that the presence of many actors at once would hopefully take over and, in turn, produce comedic results, but time again shows that this notion is just an excuse for lazy/minimal screen writing.
Finally, what's the takeaway from this project? By the end of it, the characters don't seem to learn anything they didn't already know, the glacially paced musical numbers have mostly faded from the mind, there's not a single quotable line in the film, and Murray's attitude has made the audience exhale comfortably knowing that this special doesn't even last an hour. A Very Murray Christmas is about as perplexing as it gets, if you try to discern its themes and content in a literal sense, but it's pretty easy to understand the soulless attempt to make the audience laugh solely based on actor recognition as a result of lazy screen writing and conceptual ideas.
Starring: Bill Murray, George Clooney, Miley Cyrus, Chris Rock, Amy Poehler, Paul Shaffer, Jason Schwartzman, and Rashida Jones. Directed by: Sofia Coppola.

A few late night reflections on parenting {Graduation Poem: Spoken Word}
When I was a young mother, pony-tailed and skipping over stairs strewn with toppled towers and dress-up silks, I was sure that by the time my baby was in high school, my floors would be clean, my laundry folded, my walls painted, my garden abundant, and the first of my novels published.
It was a fantasy.
Because as my children got older, I realized that the hitches and glitches of the Duplo generation are nothing compared to those of adolescence. Hunger, fatigue, sogginess – I can fix those. Junior high drama and broken hearts are not so easy.
And then. Mile-markers. Preschool. Kindergarten. Paper caps and gowns. Sand castles and lemonade stands. Precious pictures engraved into the corners of my mind.
First concerts. First dates. First loves.
More caps and gowns.
Breathe. Just keep breathing, Mama. Pray or send it out to the universe or align your chakras or whatever you do. It's all the same.
Just Love them. Even when they think you don't. Even when you are the only one who does.
"Wear your coat."
"Call soon."
"Be safe."
"I love you."
"I love you."
"I love you."
And then. Suitcases. Packed cars. Clean rooms.
Empty echoes that are not nearly as satisfying as you thought they would be.
And then. Across ten miles or a thousand, you hope that they can feel your prayers. Even when they don't believe in them. Even when you are the only one who does.
"I love you."
"I love you."
"I love you."
And then. Sweethearts. Broken hearts. Celebrations. Maybe marriage. Maybe babies.
Maybe grandbabies, who come into the world with Hope clasp in tight fists and hand it to their mothers for safekeeping.
Safe Keeping.
"I love you."
"I love you."
"I love you."
You swim in Abundance.
And then. Broken towers you cannot fix. Deep pains and raw, ragged wounds you cannot mend, even with Neosporin and Band-Aids.
So you pray that someone will hold out some small candle in the darkness for them. Even when they cannot see it. Even when you are the only one who does.
And then.
"I love you."
It flies, dear young ones. It just flies. Go kiss your babies right now, even if they are sleeping.
A million times. I would kiss them all a million times again if I could.
And I would not trade a moment. Not one of those million midnight kisses.
Not one.
I wrote this piece on the eve of our daughter Laura's high school graduation, as a gift to her. It was inspired by a season of both rejoice and heartache for our little family: in this moment, we also celebrate our youngest daughter's junior high completion, worry and pray for a another daughter in the midst of a serious health complication, and mourn a loved one lost unexpectedly to a heart attack. Life is like that sometimes.
