Everyone knows ZSS is the greatest.
Man, that makes me hate myself for not being that good with ZSS.
I've never seen someone with that much control and precision with her before. Great video.
Seeing that video makes me want to use ZSS again.Good times.

Schwarzenegger at Casey council4:23
Comedian Ben Price (in character as Arnold Schwarzenegger) interviews City of Casey Mayor Cr Geoff Ablett and Deputy Mayor Cr Amanda Stapledon about the Casey Cultural Precinct
AN outer suburban council is under fire over a planned $125 million "cultural precinct" that some residents fear will push up rates.
The City of Casey has set up a special website for the Narre Warren project, while singer Guy Sebastian was recruited to launch the winning design at a recent event.
Money has also been spent on a promotional video featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonator Ben Price, who "interviewed" Casey Mayor Geoff Ablett and his deputy, Amanda Stapledon.
Both councillors have won Liberal Party endorsement to contest ALP-held seats at the November state election.
Some residents are outraged by the proposal, with one recently posting "just watch how much higher our rates bill will go up now as our lavish councillors expand their empire to pay for this monstrosity".
Ratepayers Victoria president Jack Davis said that Casey's planned cash splash was out of order and councils should be focusing on cutting rates.
Mr Davis added that councils should just focus on road maintenance, garbage collection and community services.
But Cr Ablett said the "unique and innovative" project would create 1200 construction jobs and include an 800-seat theatre, exhibition space, art gallery, library and civic centre.
It would be funded without a rates increase, with council using savings, a loan and grants sought from state and federal governments.
Cr Ablett would not disclose how much was paid to Mr Sebastian and Mr Price due to commercial-in-confidence issues, but said "it's not unusual for projects of this size to engage high-profile ambassadors to assist with advocacy and increase awareness".

how my sex life was improved ..
what a dream come through! i never believe this will happen to me, i want to share my testimony on how i enlarged my penis by a spell caster called Dr, Noble.it really matters in your relationship or marriage, I got married to my wife about 1 month after we meant in a photo studio, we lived happily for the first 3 months of our marriage until i and my wife started having quarrels at home because i couldn't satisfy her on bed with my little penis. Actually my penis was very small, it measured about 3.5 inches long on erection and i am 40 years old. My wife started sleeping with other men outside because i couldn't satisfy her sexual taste. Sometimes i will return from work without finding my wife at home and whenever i call or ask her where she was, she always snub at me and sometimes just tell me to go get a larger dick. All this continued for a long time and it hurt me so much that i was at the edge of breaking up on the marriage till when i read about a doctor called Dr Noble online. I never thought i could smile and be in a happy marriage again if not for the help of Dr Noble my sex life have improved greatly and am now a super man with a large dick and last long during sex , my wife is now so proud of me . I got the doctors Website http://noblespellhome1.wixsite.com/drnoble Emails: (email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com mobile number +2349070501588

Im from the Chi just like he is. And literally no rappers come from our city. I honestly dont care what people say about his ego or his behavior cause I can listen to Graduation and feel uplifted.

Swain Build
Top Lane
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Swain is my favourite champion and I want to share my builds with you. He is a very strong champion and even can tank if needed. This is my first build on mobafire so please don't be very harsh :).
Pros / Cons
1) Nuker;
2) Can get easy frags with Nevermove;
3) Mage but if fed can tank 1v3 easily;
4) can go offtank;
5) Fun to play (atleast for me).
1) Squishy early game (until level 6);
2) Is focused for high damage;
3) Takes some time to master Nevermove.
My results
Most of the matches ends too quickly before I start fraging, that's sad. But the results are still nice.
It's 9/0/21. You need 21 points in utility because it's reduces your summoner spells cd (increase's your survivability and successful ganking chances) and increases AP (the most important thing you need).
Runes are pretty simple - straight AP from glyphs & seals ( Greater Glyph of Ability Power x9; Greater Seal of Ability Power x9) and some magic penetration from marks & quintessence ( Greater Mark of Magic Penetration x9; Greater Quintessence of Magic Penetration x9).
The core items:
Most of times I use this build:
This build gives you 745 AP, a nice 25% spell vamp and 417 MS that can help you catch some frags. There is another version of this build against high enemy magic resist. Instead of Lich Bane take Void Staff. AP falls down a little (718) but you get a nice magic pen.
Build against AD:
It's for those annoying AD's, with this build you get 233 armor but your AP don't fall too much (673).
Build against AP:
This build is good when enemy team has 3 Magic DPS. It rises your magic resist to 162 and again AP stays high (629)
Offtank build:
It's useful if your team already have 3 DPS. You just charge into the middle of team fight use your skills, Zhonya's active skill and whatch how enemy team falls while trying to kill you. With this build you get 134 armor, 105 magic resist and 668 AP.
This is a very good passive skill for laning. All you need to do is last hit some minions and your MP is growing.
Slow that does DoT until target is in range or the skill duration ends. Of course slow is always good for chasing and escaping.
This is your snare. It's good offensive and defensive too but it requires some practise before you can land it more often than fail to land. Nevermove is very good while ganking if you land it on someone it's about 90% you or your teammate will get a kill. Nevermove is very effective in team fights. You can use it while everybody is in a crowd then nobody can escape or help your team to flee. If you are being chased by assassin like Master Yi, Jax or Akali who does damage in melee combat, land Nevermove in your curent position and you'll escape easily.
Good DoT spell that increases any damage you do next by 20%. Be sure to start your spell combo with this one.
This is your ulti, awesome HP reg skill. Thank to it you can be offtank and absorb huge amount of damage. But still you are mage it is better for you to increase your damage not armor...
Summoner Spells
I'm always playing with flash and ignite. I think they are best for Swain. Flash is very useful in both: offense and defense. And Ignite just adds to the DoT mess.
Other good summoner spells:
Same as flash helps offensively and defensively.
Good for not loosing any exp after recall or helping your teammates in other lanes.
Skill Sequence
As a first skill I highly recommend Torment for 20% incresed damage. Just use it and then hit your target with single hits. When you reach lvl 2 take Nevermove. By now land nevermove use torment and hit him. Lvl 3 - Decrepify. Your target should have half of his HP unless he used a potion or has healing skills. But if not land Nevermove, Torment, Ignite, Decrepify and you've a kill. If he used a potion don't waste Ignite damage him with your champion skills until he has half of his HP. You can struggle if he can heal with his skills. It's going to be harder. You need somebody to gank him or just outsmart. Let him feel more powerful than you wait for him to hit you near your tower and use Nevermove. If he isn't that dumb it's nothing you can do about only ask your teammates for a gank.
Team Fights
Swain is very useful for team. He's very strong DPS so everybody wants to take him out first. But he isn't as squishy as other DPS. Just use your ulti and don't get in the middle of the fight if they are trying to kill you first. Better buy Zhonya's Hourglass use it and wait for your team to slaughter them before they kill you.
If enemys aren't focusing you first teach them a lesson. Nobody can run away from TF if you play right. Of course first of all focus on they carries. Just snare and blow away. When they will see that they are loosing a TF land a Nevermove correctly. They will be lucky if at least one of them survives...
It's difficult to farm in early game but in mid and late just use Nevermove and Ravenous Flock to farm and you'll kill minions in no time.
So this is my thoughts about Swain and how to play with him. I hope you'll like it. Feel free to comment. I'll take positive and negative comments gladly and maybe upgrade my build.

An open letter to pastors (A non-mom speaks about Mother's Day)
"I've asked Amy Young to share her "Open Letter to Pastors," with us. I came across this article a few years ago and it really spoke to my heart. I hope it serves to encourage you as it does me."
Tone can be tricky in writing. Picture me popping my head in your office door, smiling and asking if we could talk for five minutes. I'm sipping on my diet coke as I sit down.
You know that I'm not one to shy away from speaking my mind, part of the reason you love me (mostly!), so I'm guessing that internally you brace yourself wondering what might be next.
I set my can down and this is what I'd say.
A few years ago I sat across from a woman who told me she doesn't go to church on Mother's Day because it is too hurtful. I'm not a mother, but I had never seen the day as hurtful. She had been married, had numerous miscarriages, divorced and was beyond child bearing years. It was like salt in mostly healed wounds to go to church on that day. This made me sad, but I understood.
Fast forward several years to Mother's Day. A pastor asked all mothers to stand. On my immediate right, my mother stood and on my immediate left, a dear friend stood. I, a woman in her late 30s, sat. I don't know how others saw me, but I felt dehumanized, gutted as a woman. Real women stood, empty shells sat. I do not normally feel this way. I do not like feeling this way. I want no woman to ever feel this way in church again.
Last year a friend from the States happened to visit on Mother's Day and again the pastor (a different one) asked all mothers to stand. As a mother, she stood and I whispered to her, "I can't take it, I'm standing." She knows I'm not a mother yet she understood my standing / lie.
Here's the thing, I believe we can honor mothers without alienating others. I want women to feel welcome, appreciated, seen, and needed here in our little neck of the body of Christ.
You mean well, but it's just awkward. Does the woman who had a miscarriage stand? Does the mom whose children ran away stand? Does the single woman who is pregnant stand? A.w.k.w.a.r.d.
To those who gave birth this year to their first child—we celebrate with you
To those who lost a child this year – we mourn with you
To those who are in the trenches with little ones every day and wear the badge of food stains – we appreciate you
To those who experienced loss through miscarriage, failed adoptions, or running away—we mourn with you
To those who walk the hard path of infertility, fraught with pokes, prods, tears, and disappointment – we walk with you. Forgive us when we say foolish things. We don't mean to make this harder than it is.
To those who are foster moms, mentor moms, and spiritual moms – we need you
To those who have warm and close relationships with your children – we celebrate with you
To those who have disappointment, heart ache, and distance with your children – we sit with you
To those who lost their mothers this year – we grieve with you
To those who experienced abuse at the hands of your own mother – we acknowledge your experience
To those who lived through driving tests, medical tests, and the overall testing of motherhood – we are better for having you in our midst
To those who are single and long to be married and mothering your own children – we mourn that life has not turned out the way you longed for it to be
To those who step-parent – we walk with you on these complex paths
To those who envisioned lavishing love on grandchildren -yet that dream is not to be, we grieve with you
To those who will have emptier nests in the upcoming year – we grieve and rejoice with you
To those who placed children up for adoption — we commend you for your selflessness and remember how you hold that child in your heart
And to those who are pregnant with new life, both expected and surprising –we anticipate with you
This Mother's Day, we walk with you. Mothering is not for the faint of heart and we have real warriors in our midst. We remember you.
by bringing forth new life, nurturing those on her path, and living with the tension of providing both freedom and a safety net.
I know I might be an unusual one to be speaking about Mother's Day; but maybe that's why so many talk to me about mothering, I've got the parts, just not the goods. Thanks for listening and for continuing to mother us in a shepherding way. Even though I'm a bit nervous to come on Sunday, I will be here. But if you make us stand, I might just walk out.
Warmly and in your corner,
Proverbs says, "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies." "She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue… Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.'" (Proverbs 31:10, 25-26, 28-29)

I'm doing a debate on whether racism still exists in the US today and I am arguing that it does. So, what would be some good points/examples that racism still exists today?
- print Print
- list Cite
This is an important topic. I agree with you that racism exists today, but it would be important to say that we have made some great strides in this area. To make this statement shows that you are a balanced person in your opinions. Now, here are some examples that racism exists today.
First, the Trevon Martin case might be a good place to start. The very fact that nothing was done to Zimmerman initially suggests that racism had a very big role. Most social commentators agree. Imagine if an African American shot a white youth. Things would be different.
Second, the very fact that the KKK and white supremacists groups exists today shows that there is racism of the more ardent stripe as well.
Third, the way the media treated Jeremy Lin also shows that there is racism towards Asian athletes. Half of the stuff that reporters said about Jeremy Lin would have not been said if he were an African American.
Finally, to complicate matters a bit, you might want to talk about reverse racism as well.

South African maize and wheat futures ended firmer for the fourth straight session on Friday on the back of a weaker rand.
Dry weather expectations in the US drove prices higher earlier in the week' but these could well moderate into next week.
"The across the board options close-out in Chicago tonight and the close-out on our markets on Monday will determine prices going forward'" said Johan van Rensburg' commodity trader at Mooirivier Grain in Potchefstroom.
The near-dated July white maize contract was up R23.00 at R2'093 a ton' September white maize gained R24.00 to R2'138 a ton and December white maize rose R21.00 to R2'190.00 a ton' according to preliminary I-Net Bridge data.
The near-dated July yellow maize contract gained R34.60 to R2'054.60 a ton' the September yellow maize contract edged up R29.60 to R2'087.60 a ton and the December yellow maize contract added R25.00 to R2'130 a ton.
The July wheat contract added R43 to R2'998 a ton' September wheat jumped R36 to R3'052 a ton and the December wheat contract gained R23 to R3'006 a ton.
Dow Jones Newswires reported that US spot maize futures plunged more than 4% on Thursday' fuelled by a plethora of negative influences' ranging from Midwest rain' a gloomy world economy and slumping demand.
Investors cashing in prior gains were featured with traders viewing the nearly 6% rally in prices for the week as larger than needed amid declining demand.
"With demand not as stout as people had thought' investors began to pull the plug on some bullish bets in the market'" said John Kleist' analyst with ebottrading.com.
What demand the market had was from the domestic side' and once that began to dry up' bullish traders had little to hang their hats on' with poor weekly export sales a reflection of slower demand' Kleist said.
Ethanol processors and livestock feeder's margins were bleeding red from high maize prices' and they were perfectly content to scale back operations until cheaper supplies were available from the fall harvest' said Mike Zuzolo' president of Global Commodity Analytics and Consulting.
Meanwhile' worries about a global slowdown added broader-based weakness. "Risk-off trade in the outside markets' and fears of deflation thanks to the Chinese potentially experiencing a hard-landing of their economy' have once again gripped the overall investor sentiment'" Zuzolo said. "Look at the gold' silver' and crude oil markets' very big losers with the crude especially having lost over 8% in the past 4 trading days."
CBOT July maize dropped 25 1/4 cents or 4.1% to US$5.86 1/2 a bushel' and December maize was down 16 1/2 cents or 2.9% to $5.50.
Separately' soyabeans and wheat also fell' as broader based weakness across some asset classes overshadowed supportive demand.
CBOT July soyabeans fell 8 cents or 0.6% to $14.38 1/2 a bushel. CBOT July wheat fell 2 1/4 cents or 0.3% to $6.61 3/4' July KCBT Wheat dropped 3 1/2 cents or 0.5% to $6.830' and MGEX July wheat settled down 1/2 cent at $8.43 3/4. - I-Net Bridge

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! Kia's a Korean automaker, as in Seoul, South Korea, get it? All fun aside, this joint design by American and South Korean design teams is a nod to the roomy-on-the-inside, small-on-the-outside Japanese domestic market apartments-on-wheels. It features four bucket seats with the rear two able to fold flat, two separate skylights and exposed stereo speakers "celebrated" as part of the interior design. A notebook computer with a multi-purpose video game monitor is housed in the glove compartment, there are the requisite rear video monitors, Blue-tooth and MP3 capability, USB ports, Wi-Fi and telematics. The windshield and windows are one-piece wraparound designs, and the rear doors are hinged in the back.

Are you about to make a very costly decision that you will regret for the next 6 months?
Dear Business Owners,
If you are about to design a website, or redesign an existing website,
then I have a warning for you!
Most business owners are using a horrible website design AND are stuck, because they paid a hefty fee for something that doesn't work for them!
Why does this happen?
- There are hundreds of ways to build a website, but probably only 1-2 that would work for your business
- Website designers all charge dramatically different fees, you should only pay for the value that you get out of your site
- Websites need to focus on marketing the business, not just looking 'pretty'
Do you want to prevent your website from being another wasted expense?
Well, you could get 30 different proposals from different web designers that don't know how to satisfy your needs… Then you could spend thousands on a website that actually hurts your bank account!
OR you could take advantage of my offer AND learn exactly what type of website you should have, roughly how much you should spend, and how you can actually get the most for your money!

A survey of Olympia-area artists and creative organizations and businesses has revealed a strong need for affordable spaces to live and work, and a preference for siting such a project in downtown Olympia.
The findings provide important information for a local effort to build a multi-use center to provide affordable housing and studio space for artists and their families, with compatible businesses and organizations on the street level.
The survey was commissioned by Olympia Artspace Alliance, a local nonprofit organization established in 2011. The survey sought to assess the demand for creative spaces in the Olympia area, and to articulate design elements, building features, and amenities preferred by artists and creative organizations and businesses.
602 artists and 97 organizations and businesses completed the survey, conducted October through December 2013.
Olympia artist and OAA Board member Tom Anderson sees this project as a catalyst for economic development as well as for supporting the creative community. "Artspace projects in other cities have demonstrated that the arts are healthy and positive solutions to their challenges," he observes. "The future of Olympia will be determined by bold, imaginative solutions."
The envisioned project will bring new residents and businesses to downtown Olympia, and provide a center for arts and creativity that has broad benefits for the region. Similar projects elsewhere stimulate nearby business activity and contribute to the safety and vitality of broader neighborhood.
The survey recommends up to 52 affordable live/work units in downtown Olympia, plus up to 37 studio spaces for creative work. An analysis of the survey responses indicates need for a variety of configurations, including efficiency/studio units, as well as units with one, two or three bedrooms. Other important features were also identified, including natural light, Internet access, high ceilings, additional storage and soundproofing.
Other key findings:
- Olympia area artists and creative organizations have a strong need for spaces to live and work, including gallery/exhibition space and classroom spaces.
- 54 organizations and businesses are interested in locating in a multi-use creative facility in Olympia.
- Interested artists are active in a variety of art forms, including sculpture, fiber/textile arts, fine crafts, graphic arts/design, painting/drawing, writing, and theater.
- Downtown Olympia ranked as the area of highest interest, with strong interest in public transportation. Most need one parking space.
The survey was conducted by Artspace Projects, Inc. and Swan Research and Consulting, and was supported by The Community Foundation of South Puget Sound, Thurston County Chamber, Economic Development Council of Thurston County, Olympia Downtown Association, Freas Foundation, and ArtsWA/the Washington State Arts Commission.
Artspace Projects, Inc., is a national leader in the field of developing affordable space that meets the needs of artists through the adaptive reuse of historic buildings and new construction.
The report provides data "to assist project partners in the exploration and creation of affordable new space where artists working in all creative and artistic disciplines may live, work, and pursue their art, as well as spaces where arts, cultural and creative organizations and businesses can thrive."
With the survey findings in hand, the Olympia Artspace Alliance is now identifying potential funding sources, and strengthening partnerships in the public and private sector. No site has been identified for the prospective project.

Investing in energy saving light bulbs could see homeowners keeping back between £45 and £70 each year, as an industry expert has said they "last up to ten times longer" than traditional products.
Speaking to Directgov, Robert Bell of the Energy Saving Trust noted that there is "no excuse for not having energy-saving lights in your home", stating that they are now available in a wide range of styles, sizes and shapes.
He made this observation ahead of Energy Saving Week - taking place from October 25th to the 31st - and added that there are other ways to help take control of bills and energy consumption.
These include having lofts property insulated, which should shave approximately £145 off heating price tags, while upgrading boilers that are around 15 years old could also prove beneficial.
Similarly, price comparison website moneysupermarket.com recently noted that low energy downlights could help people save up to £40 over the lifetime of the bulb.

A woman who surprised her 64-year-old mother with a morning mariachi celebration has been fined $200 by the city of Norco.
Maricela Lopez, 41, ordered the traditional Mexican serenade weeks in advance, hoping to make it a memorable Mother's Day. And memorable it was.
The band started playing about 7:30 a.m. inside the home, in the 3800 block of California Avenue. After a few songs, the concert switched to the back porch, and a Sheriff's deputy from the Norco station arrived to issue a $200 citation for excessive noise.
Under the city's noise ordinance, live music is prohibited in Norco between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.
"They asked my dad for his ID, I asked what for, and they said they were gonna give him a ticket," Lopez said. "I said 'If you're gonna write a ticket you can just write it to me.' I was furious. We're Mexican and (a mariachi) is something really nice to get. It was only going to be for an hour."
Lopez, whose mother is Maria Castillo, said the deputy did not inquire about the music, or explain the fine.
Riverside County Sheriff's Lt. Eric Briddick said he had no knowledge of the interaction between Lopez and the deputy. Briddick said the deputy responded after a local resident complained about the noise.
Once he'd arrived, the deputy "heard music from 100 feet away" and issued a citation, Briddick said.
Briddick said he did not know exactly what time the citation was issued. Lopez said it was "right around 8."
Even if the music was stalled until after 8 a.m., the deputy was justified in writing a citation, Briddick said.
Norco Municipal Code states that "live music … shall not be audible to the human ear at a distance greater than 100 feet from the equipment or music."
In other words, by law, live music played during daylight in residential sections of Norco must not be heard at the other end of a basketball court.
"I understand people need to keep it down, especially late at night," Lopez said.
The city crafted its latest noise ordinance last year after a resident asked the council to do something about late-night parties. The council unanimously expanded the existing ordinance.
Deputies can now cite Norco residents who exceed 55 decibels during the day – less noise than an average person's conversation. Between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., the limit is 45 decibels. Fines increase for repeat offenders.
Exemptions are granted for vehicles, excluding stereo systems; animals such as dogs and roosters; construction-related events with proper permits; and city-sponsored events.
Those fined can take their case to an arbitrator. Lopez, a San Jacinto resident, said she'll request an administrative review.
"I would've preferred if the neighbors came over and talked to us," she said. "If I was on the other end, I'd probably say 'OK, it's Mother's Day.' I just can't believe this."

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
nHydrate sounds very interesting to me realizing the db-access of my projects. The little problem i got is: my database-structure isnt fixed, there are possibilities for other people to create tables and to use them. So my question would be if there is any
possibility to recreate the EFDAL automaticly within my program?
Thanks for helping, greets
P. Liedtke
This sounds interesting. I am currently working on an application that has a very similar architecture.
In this application we basically did the following:
1. Created a metadata database that held information about the tables and columns etc... that users created.
2. Used the object model in the Widgetsphere.Generator.Models namespace. To create an XML File from the data in our metabase.
3. Then we hacked the GenerateAll method in Widgetsphere.Generator.Common.GeneratorFramework.GeneratorHelper class.
4. I wish there was a console way to perform this task. Currently there is not. Step 3 is by far the most difficult. Let me know what your level of dedication to nHydrate is. If it is high I will look at moving the request up the chain.
Well of course its high ;)
Ive searched the Internet and nHydrate offers features, which will cost a lot of time and work if we have to add them by hand. Actually I dont think there is currently a real free alternative.
Thanks for your quick answer, ill have a look at this.
So I would be correct in saying that the goal is to: Provide a stand alone (No Visual Studio Requirements) API that allows for model creation, dll generation and database upgrade. From this users could integrate nHydrate based generation into their
core product lines.
First, if this is not what you are asking for please clarify. Second, if this is what you are asking for then.
1. You wait on me.
2. We can work together to come up with a solution that will benefit us both. :)
Yes, I am trying to recruit you for help. If you are interested let me know.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Get the facts about Honolulu Community College bus passes, and registering for elective seminars and discussion sections. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Consult with an academic advisor, to ensure that your chosen classes constitute a full-time course load, and fulfills major requirements. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Honolulu Community College bus schedules information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Honolulu Community College.
Don't imagine that college is all about getting good grades and finding a job after graduation. A large part of the university growth experience is about participating in extracurricular activities such as student government, writing for the school newspaper, or joining one of the many student clubs on campus.
It isn't necessary to take a leadership position in a student organization on campus, in order to enjoy contributing to student life at your school. Sure, you have to live somewhere, but spending your freshman year in the dorms can give you the added benefit of making friends and establishing a social circle. Consider signing up for a meal plan, and gaining 10 pounds in the dining hall. Again, the purpose is to socialize and meet other students outside the classroom. Beyond degree requirements such as Honolulu Community College public transit, you may consider West LA College academic records for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

And it was fine. I've had such a fear of attempting to drive in Britain but after 1200 or so miles, I am here to tell you it's doable. Not that I was ever behind the wheel! I was navigator and Larry drove because the insurance for both of us to drive was too expensive. So my job was to remind him to stay on the left, to help navigate the hundreds of roundabouts, get the GPS (or SatNav as they call it over there) set up with our next destinations, and generally keep Larry on track.
We didn't have a GPS for the first leg of the trip but we did have a good, new road atlas which got us around fairly well except for in Bristol. We'd hoped to meet storyteller Tim Sheppard for lunch but we never were able to find the place and after many laps around the city--so many that people began to think we were casing the place, I think--we gave up and headed to Bath for a late lunch. Bath proved to be far too busy and crowded a place for travel-weary us, so after lunch we left, and drove to the small town of Saltford where we discovered a lovely old church, and our first pub of the trip.
We needed this quiet break.
I could not believe the size of this tree, a yew I believe.
This is St. Mary's Anglican Church, which is over 1000 years old. It is believed to have been built by the Normans, and the tower is believed to be Saxon, although it has been added to, as you can see in the photo. There is a Norman baptismal font inside that was once used as a cattle trough, but was found and returned to the church.
Soft country views were balm to our souls after a hectic 48 hours.
Looking through one window to another.
We followed the narrow lane past the church and found ourselves beside the River Avon. (A different river, as my cousin corrected below, than that of Shakespearean fame.) This is the view from the Jolly Sailor pub, where we stopped for tea for me, and Guinness for Larry.
The long boats barely visible in this photo are canal boats (click to see better images of them) and some of them had their laundry hanging on their roofs! There was a simple locks on the river here that the canal boats let themselves through as they traveled. Wish I had a photo of that, but I was fairly brain dead by this time.
We left Saltford and drove into Keynsham to my friend Tim's home. And from that visit came stories. More about that tomorrow.

Reviews: Axioma – Monolith
Monolith is EP debut from Avant Garde Death Metal Band from Italy, Axioma. This EP released on September 24th, 2016.
1st track, Hierophant. A good opening. A mid-tempo song and Guitars composition on this song are mixed betweed distorted & accoustic. And the Jazz Guitar solo is equivocal. 2nd track, Monolith of Fire. A mid-tempo Death Metal song mixed with Psychedelic, Jazz and Dark ambient element. 3rd track, Rinnegato. A distortion between Monster and Jazz. Sing like Monster and Avant-Garde. The Amazing Jazz.
4th track, Deception. 50% Clean Vocal and 50% Harsh Vocal. 5th track, Veil of Paroketh. More Brutal than previous tracks. Avant Garde Brutal Death Metal. 6th track, Reminiscence. It's Crazy ending. It's too Jazz and it's too Great. When Jazz meat Monster.
A Masterpiece from Axioma in the beginning of their career. The Dark atmosphere and Jazz influence.
Score: 100%

BHP Billiton Ups Capex for Kipper, Turrum Projects
BHP Billiton announced the approval of increased capital expenditure for the Esso Australia operated Kipper and Turrum projects in the Gippsland Basin, offshore Victoria.
Kipper's capital expenditure has increased to US $900 million (BHP Billiton share) and the facilities are now forecast to be completed in calendar year 2012. Mercury was encountered in the reservoir during development drilling and mercury mitigation will be managed as a separate project. The timing of first production is subject to resolution of the mercury related issues.
Turrum's expenditure has been adjusted to US $1.35 billion (BHP Billiton share) and is now forecast to begin production in calendar year 2013.
Additional design and fabrication of key structural components has delayed installation and increased the offshore hook up campaign resulting in the cost and schedule adjustments.
The Kipper field has confirmed resources of approximately 620 billion cubic feet of recoverable gas and 30 million barrels of oil and gas liquids. Turrum is expected to recover approximately 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 110 million barrels of oil and gas liquids, on a 100 percent basis.
The Kipper Unit Joint Venture participants are Esso Australia Resources (32.5 percent and operator); BHP Billiton (32.5 percent); and Santos (35.0 percent).
Turrum is part of the Gippsland Basin Joint Venture in which BHP Billiton and Esso Australia Resources (operator), each have a 50 per cent interest.

SO, I excitedly got my Z1S today and the first thing I experienced before getting home was an issue with long pressing on the screen. I have had a little better luck at home but it still happens on occasion. But I'll give that a day or so before it starts upsetting me if it doesn't calm down. But more importantly I haven't done anything wrong with the handling or care of the phone and it already has a scratch in it!? Seriously, wow. I'm OCD about the care of my devices and just going into a Jean pocket for a few hours it has a scratch that is easily seen and can feel with my finger nail. It's probably not ridiculous like I'm making it, but it is there and I can feel it. So I'm recommending anyone and everyone to get a screen protector at the store. So upset. I'm hoping to swap out because of the screen pressing issues but seriously wow.

Here's a wonderful entree for baby (starting at 11-12 months) which the whole family can enjoy. In fact, this recipe was created before I even had children. It's full of veggies, but also on the sweet side, which tends to make it popular with kiddos. Many fried rice recipes are too greasy and, frankly, leave me gassy. I use a technique I learned in Japan to keep this one healthier and even more delicious.
2 bananas, sliced about 1/2 inch thick
2 T butter
3 eggs
1/2 t sugar
1/2 t soy sauce
1/2 yellow onion
1/2 red pepper
1 carrot
1 stalk of celery
2-3 cloves of garlic
3 T fresh ginger
3 cups cooked and cooled brown rice
1 T soy sauce
1/4 c chopped cilantro
1. Prep all ingredients before cooking. Prep work will take longer than actually cooking time. Cut all veggies into a small dice. The smaller the baby, the smaller the dice. Make sure the pieces are the same size, so they will cook evenly and look pretty.
2. This recipe comes together in three parts. First the bananas. Melt the butter in a large skillet over a medium-high flame. Add bananas and dust with cinnamon. Fry about 2 minutes on one side, until banana is brown and the pan releases it with a slight nudge of a spatula. Flip and cook about 1 minute on the other side. Remove from pan and set aside on a plate. Clear off any extra bits of banana from the pan.
3. The second part is the eggs. This is a technique I was taught in Japan. It's unusual, but delicious. Gently whisk the eggs together with a 1/2 t each sugar and soy sauce. Heat your skillet to medium high. Add about 2 T either grape seed or olive oil. Once hot, add egg mixture and swirl in pan so you make a very thin omelette. Quickly remove from pan. Cut egg into this strips about 1/2 inch wide in one direction, then cut in half the other way. Set aside.
3. Now everything comes together. You should have a decent amount of oil left in the pan from the eggs, but you probably want to add another tablespoon. Heat up pan once again. Add onions and pepper and a small pinch of sea salt. Stir fry for about 2 minutes. Add carrots, celery, ginger, garlic and another pinch of sea salt. Stir fry for about 2 minutes. Add rice, soy sauce and a few good grates of fresh nutmeg. Stir fry for about 10 minutes allowing the rice to stick to the bottom of pan for a few minutes at a time to develop a crust.
4. Add bananas, egg strips* and cilantro. If you are serving to adults only, go ahead and eat. If baby will be eating this place a lid on either the whole dish or baby's portion to allow the veggies to steam and soften. You can either keep it on low heat or turn the pan off to allow the residual heat to do its magic. It should be done in about 10 minutes, but you have to check it. Enjoy. It's so fun to eat as a whole family.
*Note: Egg whites can be allergenic, so if you haven't introduced baby to them, you can set aside his or her portion without eggs at this point. By 11 months my children were fine eating eggs, but you know what's best for your baby. Tofu is a good substitute for extra protein.

"Courtney Stodden and her husband, Doug Hutchison, are at an emotional loss for words," Courtney Stodden's manager, Gina Rodriguez, said in a release. The couple first announced the pregnancy in May.
Courtney Stodden shared a heartbreaking post on Sunday after a rep for the 21-year-old model confirmed that she suffered a miscarriage last week.
"Babies lost in the womb were never touched by fear," reads the text post shared to Stodden's Instagram page. "They were never cold, never hungry, never alone, and importantly, always knew love."
Stodden's rep confirmed that the model and reality star had miscarried her first child in a statement saying, "Courtney and her husband, Doug [Hutchison], are at an emotional loss for words and are using this time to grieve with their close family and friends. Please respect their privacy as the couple try to cope with losing their precious baby and seek the support they both need."
Stodden had been open about sharing the ups and downs of her pregnancy on social media since announcing the happy news back in May. She and Hutchison celebrated the actor's "first Father's Day" last month with a sweet Instagram photo.
Sleeping soooooooooo much it's insane!!! #preggers

The model and reality star announced her pregnancy at just four weeks at the time that she was "happy… but extremely overwhelmed."

TOLD YOU SO: Fort Lauderdale Airport Shooter Esteban Santiago Said he Killed Random People for ISIS During Today's Bond Hearing
Tuesday, January 17, 2017
Accused Florida airport shooter Esteban Santiago told investigators that he spoke with ISIS terrorists in "jihadi chat rooms" and carried out the deadly Jan. 6 attack on behalf of ISIS, authorities said Tuesday during a bond hearing. Santiago, 26, practiced firing his semiautomatic handgun at a range in Alaska during the months before he allegedly killed five people and wounded six others at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, FBI agents testified, according to The Orlando Sentinel. "At various points…he said he carried out the attack because of government mind control," prosecutor Ricardo Del Toro said.
"But he later said he did so because of [ISIS]…after participating in jihadi chat roms." He was on no psychiatric drugs, FBI agents said, only taking anti-anxiety medication and an herbal supplement to aid with sleep. Santiago has not been formally charged, but is due back in court Jan. 30 2017.
Thursday, June 30, 2016, CIA Director Warns ISIS Style Terror Attack At US Airports Like At Turkish Airport Already in Planning Stage as Terrorism Expert Bill Warner Talks About Lack of Security at TIA. CIA Director John Brennan, one day after the deadly terror strike on the Turkish airport, warned that the Islamic hate group was likely plotting the same type of carnage for American soil. The trio of bombers, each wrapped in a suicide vest, arrived at the airport via taxi before starting their choreographed destruction. Though initially stymied by airport security, they wasted little time before unleashing the attack intended to inflict maximum bloodshed.
"If they get this far … it's a big problem," he warned. Bill Warner showed News Channel 8 the strengths and weaknesses of the airport's security. Bill Warner said Tampa International may be more vulnerable than other airports. "I would say from my point of view, yeah … You have multiple entrances on both sides of the building, vulnerable to a car bomb outside, vulnerable to a terrorist attack in the doorways," he said. With that said, there are safeguards in place. "The dog walking around here with the police officer, the armed police officer, that's great," Bill Warner said. "Checking out bags, checking out garbage bags. That's what needs to be done."
Most travelers News Channel 8 spoke with said they feel safe. "I think if it's your turn, it's your turn," Mark Sheffer, of Tampa, said while waiting for a friend to arrive from London. "You can't really question and live your life in fear." Yvonne Armstrong was traveling home to New York. She echoed a similar sentiment. "You can't go around being afraid," Armstrong said. "You just have to live your life. You can't just worry about constantly being attacked." Bill Warner believes people are becoming very complacent even though an attack, he says, is definitely possible (it happened at Fort Lauderdale airport). He believes people should be worried, especially with the military's presence in the Tampa Bay area. "MacDill Air Force Base, CENTCOM (U.S. Central Command), is the one who operates all the drones in the Middle East taking out ISIS soldiers," Warner added. "So as far as payback, yeah. We're probably at the top of their list." read more at http://wfla.com/2016/06/29/terrorism-expert-talks-about-security-at-tampa-international-airport/

A man scouting for elk in Montana's Madison Valley Saturday didn't find any elk, but instead wandered upon a mama grizzly with her cubs and now has the scars to prove it.
Todd Orr, 50, was about 3 miles into a trail and away from his truck when he saw the bear. At first, the mama and her cubs turned and appeared to walk away, but then the mom turned back around and full-on charged at Orr.
From about 25 feet, Orr sprayed the grizzly with bear spray, but it didn't even so much as faze the angry animal. The bear then proceeded to rip into Orr's head, arms and shoulders. He described the force of the bites "like a sledge hammer with teeth."
After a few minutes of tearing at his flesh, the bear wandered away… or so he thought.
Orr was utterly amazed that he survived the attack, and quickly made his way down the trail to get back to his truck and get medical treatment, as he knew his injuries were severe.
But about 10 minutes down the trail, Orr was met by the grizzly once again, and in an instance she was pouncing. As the mama bear once again ripped at his shoulder, arms and head, Orr questioned whether he would survive a second attack.
Finally, Orr stopped fighting back, just laid still, completely motionless and completely quiet. Eventually, the grizzly stopped her feast and simply walked away. Orr then once again started his trek to his truck, while racing against time, as he was concerned the blood loss could quickly turn to a critical matter.
As soon as Orr got to a place with a cell phone signal, he called for help – and took a moment to make a quick video, snap some pics and post them to Facebook.
Eventually, Orr was transported to a hospital where it took medical personnel eight hours to stitch him up. He was left with extensive wounds, including a huge gash across the side of his head, and large bear claw bruises on his back.
Orr wrapped up the entire encounter by saying, "Yeah, life sucks in bear country."

My first stop was Mercedes, which presents a captivating walk through the birth of the automobile with the kind of historical sheet-metal eye candy that will wow an automotive fanatic. It's a tale the company is allowed to own because a founder, Karl Benz, is credited with making the first car, and its other founder, Gottlieb Daimler, was not far behind.
But before I even entered the museum, I was stunned by the building. It's a double-helix design by the Dutch architects UNStudio and sits like a round jewel on Mercedes Street. It opened in 2006.
Though Henry Ford made the expensive automobile popular with his affordable Model T in the early 20th century, it was Mr. Benz, an engineer and inventor, who got things started in 1885, when he installed the almost-one-horsepower internal combustion engine he invented into a three-wheel buggy.
The building provides a floor-by-floor circular walk through Mercedes history over its nine floors and 177,000 square feet of exhibition space, with the timeline starting on the top floor. There I found a reproduction of that first car, with the real Daimler car next to it. Actually, a horse, thankfully another reproduction, greeted me as I began my tour at the start of the automobile age, when one horsepower meant what it advertised.
To my jaded 21st century eyes, those cars looked more like contraptions than useful transportation, but the engines were evidence of the true genius of these men. As the technology improved, internal combustion engines got the world moving and quickly ended up in buses, trucks, boats, airships and tractors, some of which are on display here. A descendant of those engines is sitting in your driveway.
Within a few years cars started to look like cars instead of horse-drawn carriages — for example the museum's 1902 40 HP, the oldest-existing Mercedes-branded car. Still, the industry used carriage types to describe its models, like phaeton (a light, open carriage), shooting brake (a carriage meant for gamekeepers and sportsmen) and cabriolet (a light carriage with a foldable hood drawn by one horse). Even dashboard is a leftover carriage term — it was the board that insulated the driver from rocks and dirt from the road.
The walls of the ramps that connect the floors are also part of the show. As I made my way down to the fourth floor, which highlighted safety, I learned that the ramp walls were made of polyamide, an airbag material. Clever.
"It is the only museum in the world that can document over 130 years of automobile history complete from the very first day," Miriam Weiss, a Mercedes spokeswoman, wrote in an email.
Frankly, the museum can seem overwhelming because there is so much of that history to take in and so many beautiful cars to sigh over, like the 1955 300SL Coupe, known as the Gullwing. You will learn that Mercedes was the name of an important customer's daughter, Mercédès Jellinek (interesting that her father, Emil, eventually changed his last name to Jellinek-Mercedes), and that the company's logo, the three-pointed star, symbolizes earth, water and air.
I traveled to the museum by train, but left with a strong urge to drive, something from the AMG performance division preferably, but alas, there was no opportunity. I went to the dealership on the bottom floor, but was told test drives must be scheduled about a week in advance.
There is no such problem at the Porsche Museum, about seven miles away from Mercedes. The Porsche building, which sits on three V-shape columns, is striking and seems to float above the ground. It was designed by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects of Vienna and opened in 2009.
Representatives in the lobby will let you drive, say, a 911 for about $165 an hour and up to about 60 miles, but be aware you have to leave a $3,000 deposit.
No matter — see the museum first. It's more straightforward than Mercedes's, with everything on one floor and a loft. It contains more than 60,000 square feet of exhibition space, and the displays are spread out. You can follow the development of Porsche's models, from the design ultimately used for the Volkswagen Beetle, first created by Ferdinand Porsche, the company founder, to the car that defines the company, the 911. You can see how the sleek Type 64 racecar from the late 1930s led to the beloved Porsche 356 and then to the 911.

Earlier this month, the administration at Maiden High School in Maiden, North Carolina tried to put a stop to the student production of John Cariani's Almost, Maine. With permission slips in hand, the cast chosen and rehearsals just underway, the school announced the show was off. But it's only off school grounds. The play will go on.
* * *
As first reported last week by WSOC TV in two reports [here and here], with additional reporting from Think Progress, Almost, Maine was shuttered because of a single scene, entitled "They Fell," in which two buddies reach the startling discovery that they love one another – by actually falling down. Repeatedly. There's no sexual innuendo, no physical contact, and the words "gay" and "homosexual" aren't spoken. The scene takes up six pages of a 54 page text.
It's not as if the school didn't know the play was in the works. Maiden High School junior Conner Baker, who was to direct the production, said that when the administration was asked for permission, they gave it within a day.
"Our teacher advisor spoke to our principal," said Baker, "who then spoke to the superintendent. We were told through our student advisor."
She explained that students had to get permission slips with parents expressly agreeing to let their children participate, which hadn't happened before in her experience. Of the permission slip, she said, "I don't remember it word for word. It was along the lines of, 'We have chosen Almost, Maine as our fall play this year. The play includes nine vignettes about love, one of which is centered around two male best friends who realize they are in love with each other'."
Baker also described parents being required to come to one of two meetings in person to give their approval, also a new requirement. "Whenever a parent came in, I explained to them the content of the play and told them that for their child to audition, they needed to sign the permission slip." Students also were permitted to audition with the scene in question, but Baker said she didn't know where that requirement came from. "We were told by our teacher, though I know it wasn't her decision. I also do not know why."
After the show was cast and had just begun rehearsals, the word came that the show was off. "We were told by our teacher. They said the community isn't ready for it. There wasn't really a big discussion about it."
* * *
In spite of all the strictures placed on the audition process – the permission slips, parents coming to meetings – the school's statement, issued after the news media began to pick up the story, clearly sought to obfuscate the issue, using the 'approval hadn't been given' excuse that crops up so regularly in instances of school theatre censorship. Issued by Principal Rob Bliss (firstname.lastname@example.com) , it read:
"Our faculty and staff are still in review of potential performances to be conducted by our students this fall. At this time, no final decision has been made regarding whether and what drama performances are to be presented this fall. In regards to the request for students to perform the play "Almost Maine," careful review and consideration was given to the contents of this play. The play contained sexually-explicit overtones and multiple sexual innuendos that are not aligned with our mission and educational objectives.
"As principal of Maiden High School, I have an obligation to ensure that all material, including drama performances is appropriate and educationally sound for students of all ages."
The consensus in conversations on Facebook between various students was that some adults and churches in the area had made their displeasure known to the school administration, focusing on the gay storyline. None of them appear to have made their concerns known publicly. Yet this prompted the school to pull the plug without giving any hearing to those in support of the play.
* * *
Upon learning about the cancelation, one area adult, Carmen Eckard, a former local teacher, sent an e-mail to a number of administrators at the school. She wrote, in part:
"These kids have spent years fostering their love of theatre. In fact, I taught many of them at Startown Elementary, and they loved theatre class! That has blossomed into a real appreciation and dedication, and the decision to cancel a play after rehearsals had begun is extraordinarily disrespectful, and counterintuitive to education.
"Their passion is now spurred, and they will show you how dedicated they are. I'm sure you'll quickly realize that a mistake has been made.
"My advice would be to reinstate the play, before Huffington Post picks up this story. It's just the kind of thing they love, and I'm sure we'll all appreciate not being highlighted in national news as a 'backwards' town, again."
She received a response from the school superintendent Dr. Dan Brigman (firstname.lastname@example.com), who thanked her for writing, but didn't address Almost, Maine at all, simply saying another appropriate play would be found. [For legal reasons, I am paraphrasing the superintendent's brief reply.]
It seems a shame that Brigman didn't heed Eckard's warning, given the media attention that has resulted from the cancelation (even reaching up into Maine). As for being highlighted in the national news "again," while I didn't ask Eckard what she was referring to specifically, I am assuming it was the 2012 stories about local Pastor Charles Worley of the Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden. Worley got lots of press, far beyond HuffPo, for stating that gays and lesbians should be confined behind an electrified fence. Plenty of North Carolinians spoke out against Worley at the time, but his church remains active in the community.
* * *
Eckard did more than just write a letter. She got involved.
"As soon as I realized that it was my old students and the play was Almost, Maine, I started looking for ways to help," she wrote in an e-mail. "By Friday, Connor and I had scheduled a meeting, and people had started contacting both of us, asking for ways to help."
In my very first communications with Baker and Eckard, both immediately said they hoped to try to do the play off-campus, so I asked them both whether they considered fighting the decision.
Referring to the response she received from the principal, Eckard continued, "The response I received convinced me pretty thoroughly that trying to change the ruling would be a waste of time. It also gives the power in the situation completely to the school board – it's their decision. The community is extraordinarily conservative."
Conner Baker said, "I think at first we considered that, but as a group, we just want to do what's best for us. Our whole reasoning behind speaking out was to be able to do the show."
While many outside groups and individuals offered their support, Baker and Eckard felt it was best not to be antagonistic as they went forward.
Eckard explained, "The kids said, 'The main thing we want to do is that we don't want to alienate the community, we want to keep things positive. We're going to take our play somewhere else for people who want to see it.' I think this way will make people happy-ish."
* * *
Before learning that the show might go on off-campus, playwright John Cariani learned of the situation in Maiden and crafted a reply that was posted to the Almost, Maine Facebook page. It read, in part:
"If Maiden High School administrators take issue with 'They Fell' because it's about two young men who are simply stating their feelings for one another, they are calling into question the validity of same-sex love by making it seem wrong and different and other. They are allowing a dangerous cycle of fear and self-hatred among LGBTQ youth to continue, and, consequently, they are tacitly promoting homophobia. This is simply not necessary. Nor is it helpful. We don't need any more Tyler Clementis or Jamey Rodemeyers and Jamey Hubleys. We need kids to know that it'll "get better." Falling in love is tough enough when you're young. Let's remove the stigma of falling in love with someone of the same sex…
"By canceling the play, it seems to me that school officials are pleasing parents and pillars of the community rather than serving the students. I think there's a better solution than to stop the production."
In a phone conversation, I asked Cariani if he had originally conceived of his play being performed by high schools, where it is enormously popular, landing as number one on the Educational Theatre Association's list of the most produced plays in high school theatre this year. (You can see a list of upcoming productions by searching on the Dramatists Play Service website's Page to Stage page.)
"Not at all," he replied. "I thought it was a play for adults. The first high school production was Cape Elizabeth High School in Maine. They were a great theatre program when I was growing up [also in Maine, but in another school system]. Their teacher approached me and I thought, 'High school students can't do this play.' But I got to see their production. The teacher helped me to understand that high school kids are on the verge of adulthood, but still optimistic of what the world can do for them and what they can do for the world. That is what makes high school kids, when they do it well, do it super-well."
Cariani said he knew of a couple of instances in the past where there were efforts to censor or cancel the play. He noted one at Bel Air High in Maryland where the American Civil Liberties Union was instrumental in insuring the play went on. He also echoed Baker and Eckard's sentiments about how to go forward.
"It's important that we achieve our goals without being mean," he offered. "It's dangerous."
But, I wondered, given the countless productions around the country, wasn't it possible that some school might have already done, or might be planning to do, the show and altering "They Fell" unilaterally? What would he like to say to anyone who has done that or contemplates that, against the legal contract of the license and copyright law?
"It's lying," said Cariani, "because that's not the play."
* * *
Last night, October 20, Baker and Eckard held a small meeting to begin organizing the play for production away from Maiden High School, discussing possible venues, budgets and timing.
I asked Baker whether she thought she might lose any of her cast, since the show is no longer a school activity, especially because the school has already begun surveying students as to their interest in participating in an alternate play under official auspices.
"Only one person for sure said they couldn't do it anymore," she replied. "But the show really is meant for four actors and we have a cast of 20, so even if half of them dropped out, we could still do it."
Maiden senior Logan Riley wrote to me, regarding the school's effort to mount its own show, "The school system wants to have another show to settle the unrest in the community. This does not mean that we will actually put on another show."
Moving the play off school grounds could still result in opposition. Are either Baker or Eckard concerned?
"We don't care if they oppose it," said Eckard. "Free speech! It won't matter if they are against a public performance, because those of us involved aren't under any particular employment or jurisdiction that would cause us to fear retribution."
Baker echoed the sentiment. "I mean, people will complain no matter where we perform it. We aren't forcing anyone to come out and see it, but if people do protest, it won't stop us from performing it.
* * *
So the students of Maiden High School are going forward with Almost, Maine, targeting the first weekend in January for production. They've set up a Kickstarter page to raise the funds they need and hope to confirm a location shortly. Their cleverly named website-to-be is www.almost maiden.com.
This isn't the first time students have taken a show off of school grounds to get it done (there are many precedents, including Wilton CT and La Grande OR) and one has to applaud the Maiden students' commitment to seeing the show happen, with its myriad messages of love intact. I have to confess to feeling that the school is getting off easy, since the relocated production also shifts the spotlight off of their efforts to silence the students and the play, leaving intact the utterly unacceptable official message that LGBTQ love is something to be hidden away – even as North Carolina begins legal same sex marriages.
But Conner Baker has a simple reason for how the play will now happen, and it's pretty hard to argue against.
"We aren't doing it to upset anyone," she says. "We just want to do what we love doing."
