Review: Beowulf (2007)
Composer: Alan Silvestri (original songs by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard)
Label: Warner Bros./WEA Records
Catalogue Nr.: 372924
Something's rotten in the state of Denmark! The deformed monster Grendel and its seductive demon mother are terrorizing the realm of king Hrothgar (wonderful: Anthony Hopkins). Enter Beowulf, a mighty but arrogant hero-wannabe armed with lots of muscle and a booming voice (by Ray Winstone). Beowulf slays the puny monster Grendel but ultimately has to pay a large price to make a deal with the mother demon. Admittedly, the Anglo-Saxon tale of Beowulf is no Shakespeare despite the Denmark analogy but screenwriters Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman really did their best to flesh out characters and made the most of what they had. They provided a script that enabled director 'Bob' Zemeckis to produce one of the best-paced big budget movies in recent years, yet the film itself has received a fair share of flak from various critics long before its release. Mainly its revolutionary use of performance capture technology is something that many folks have a problem with (some even refused to see the picture for that reason) and it is likely to continue dividing moviegoers as well as critics in that regard for years to come. Having seen Beowulf in Imax 3-D I can say that it is certainly an interesting alternate way of telling the untellable in a time where almost everything is digital anyways... nothing more and nothing less. It lead to astonishing results in this very movie that are pushing the envelope for years to come. Plus it is so refreshing to watch a gritty animated picture that isn't just about annoyingly talking animals!
The score:
For Beowulf, Robert Zemeckis brought back his usual creative team once again, including long-time friend and composer Alan Silvestri. A scoring assignment for a Zemeckis movie has been described by Silvestri as the safest possible working environment for any composer, thus its rather surprising that Silvestri played it save this time around. He approached Beowulf mainly within the limitations of his musical resume of recent years without taking any steps forward or backward. Within this range though, Silvestri never fails to amaze and he certainly does not fail here. His score for Beowulf can be devided in two parts (just as the film it accompanies): The introduction and rise of the Beowulf character as a mighty, over-the-top arrogant warrior was scored by Silvestri with extensive passages of grim, chanting male choir and a razor-sharp horn fanfare spiced with driving electronics while the character's fall as an easily corruptible, weak human being was treated with an odd, often low-key poignant grandeur. Silvestri's use of electronics was another big surprise. Their integration in the score with the choir and orchestra as an individual sound palette makes it a rather honest creative decision instead of an attempt at creating an unidentifiable mess of sound as it is the case with most modern blockbuster scores (wink-wink... remote control...). Silvestri made sure that whatever there is of individual electronic elements, you can actually identify as such without loosing the effectiveness of the whole work. With that said, I must admit that at first, I did not really get into what Silvestri was trying to achieve when I listened to the CD for the first time. Especially the "Beowulf Main Title" is rather confusing as an opener of a movie set in the sixth century with it's electric bass and synths building up the rhythm of a larger main theme statement for male choir and horns. Especially the electronic beginning is odd but that short passage really just underscores the Warner Bros. Logo. As the title comes up, Silvestri unleashes the power of the choir and orchestra. The theme itself is once again razor sharp and spot on in its over-the-top expression of grim pride that drives the Beowulf character and positions itself well along other marching-like hero themes by Silvestri.
With a Zemeckis film its not surprising that the spotting is very careful and music is used only when its really needed, even if its a big adventure movie and thus, most of the action before and during the "First Grendel Attack" was left unscored to a great effect. The whole appearance of Grendel is done entirely with the use of sound. Silvestri starts to kick in after Grendels rampage through the mead hall with accentuating strikes of percussion and understated moments for brass as Grendel threatens queen Wealthow. Her husband, King Hrothgar challenges the creature to fight him but Grendel remains still. Only Silvestri's use of a theme with calmly humming male choir is telling us that there is something else going on between the king and the monster, which makes the face-off terrifying and at the same time emotionally compelling. "Gently As She Goes" is actually presented out of context, as it appears back to back with "A Hero Comes Home" in the movie sung by the queen for Beowulf and his men before their fight with Grendel. The melody can be seen as some sort of theme for the queen and actually makes an appearance later on in the underscore. Robin Wright Penn's performance is really good, especially if you consider that there is barely any instrumental accompaniment apart from a harp (which her character plays in the movie), some tambourine-like percussion and a medieval wind instrument, so her voice is basically what makes this whole thing work. Continuing the underscore is "What We Need Is A Hero", a full statement of the main theme and essentially a larger-than-life extension of the main title accompanying macho Beowulf sailing over a stormy sea and making macho jokes with his macho fellow Wiglaf. The fanfare stuff and male choir spiced with synths and large percussion certainly has balls and makes it pretty clear that these characters have some, too. On to a little more prominent techno-beats with choir in "I'm Here To Kill Your Monster" that drive Beowulf and company's ride to the king's castle. Silvestris hero theme growling powerfully and solely on horns from the lower end of the tonal spectrum continues but this second half of the track was cut from the film.
The first real highlight of the album is now to come with "I Did Not Win The Race" for a little macho story about a open-sea swimming duel that Beowulf tells to Unferth who doubts our hero's power. There is a melodic line for dominant male choir chanting at the beginning of the piece which reminds me a bit of a secondary theme from Polar Express (the motif for the tramp that wasn't on the soundtrack... as wasn't most of the score). This nice but too short choral moment is just the overture for a powerful action sequence where Silvestri really throws everything in. An excellent, high-pitched Silvestri brass fanfare is announcing the arrival of gigantic sea monsters and as Beowulf starts battling them, Silvestri's music starts pounding with more heroic variations of the main theme. Silvestri paid close attention to the dynamics of this highly acrobatic action sequence where every jump and every hit is just in place with the score. In the middle of the track, Silvestri is introducing a more rousing secondary heroic theme. More importantly for the plot though is the following subtle rendition of the grendel theme heard during the Hrothgar-Grendel face-off. Silvestri plays the theme softly here on harp, flute, strings and female choir with a effectively seductive touch as Beowulf tells Unferth that one of the monsters dragged him underwater but we see that he really fell for a beautiful mermaid. This scene is important as it shows Beowulf's weakness for seduction that plays a large part later on and Silvestri musically lays the foundation for the future failure of the character here. Another source song sung by Robin Wright Penn is following (with similarly sparse orchestration), which is Silvestri's introduction of the fallen-hero theme that dominates the score's entire second half. It's particularly very clever to sneak in this soaring but downright sad and powerful theme as a song. More big action music follows in best Silvestri fashion for the "Second Grendel Attack". Particularly noteworthy for fans is the Predator-esque driving piano ostinato that pops up halfway through the cue, implying that Beowulf and not Grendel is the predator to fear here. More importantly to the storyline is the introduction of a breathtakingly menacing, operatic choral statement that kind of musically represents the evil products of the deals between men and demons throughout the movie. Another cool moment from this track that should be mentioned is a cymbal-crashing drive accompanying a horn ostinato derived from the first three notes of the score's main theme. This will be Silvestri's basis for the latter action orgasm "Beowulf Slays The Beast" but more on that in its time.
The return of the restraint male choir theme for Grendel at the beginning of "I Am Beowulf" accompanies him dying in the arms of his mother. Silvestri is breathing the creatures' live away with faint, briefly high-played string chords before giving the first hint of his theme for the mother. It's a carefully suggestive motif for flute and female choir accompanied by echoing synths and harp, an approach that is both new for Silvestri and slightly reminiscent of ideas from Goldsmith's Basic Instinct (1992). A solo horn statement of 'the hero comes home' theme is then announcing a more prominent, slow statement of that same theme with full choir and orchestra (this passage was the core of the Soncinemad concert suite). After that, there is a clever variation on the 'gently as she goes' theme for Wealthow on harp, flute and solo horn as she presents Beowulf a golden horn as a prize for slaying Grendel. The solo horn passage sets in as soon as we see the horn, which I think is a rather clever choice. Beowulf then has to face Grendel's mother (after a series of short unreleased score cues) which is where Silvestri brings back his echoing harp-synth theme for "The Seduction", a sequence that is very effective and cinematically interesting (and not just because of Jolie's naked body). The echoing sonic of the music plays nicely on the mysteriously low-light cavern environment before a little celesta melody followed by gentle male choir announces the mother's rise from the water. The celesta part plays at her charming appearance (remember: she is naked and covered with liquid gold) while the male choir reflects the danger that lies within her beauty. As the mother floats around Beowulf, poisoning him with fine promises, Silvestri's score floats along with sweet and lush strings that are a bit reminiscent of Shore's string writing for the Lord Of The Rings scores. The music for the crowning of "King Beowulf" starts menacing, first on mysteriously gentle strings playing on the Grendel theme before the operatic choral theme for the sins of the fathers is announcing the doom of Hrothgar, accentuated with low bell strikes.
The film then jumps forward in time, showing the aged king and his army in a battle with the Finns. One finish prisoner is challenging Beowulf, who then gives an impressive speech of how he died years ago, which Silvestri acknowledges with an interesting grief variation on his "hero comes home theme" for cello and strings in "He Has A Story To Tell". An emotional moment between him and his wife, Queen Wealthow is scored with intimate woodwind variations on the character's themes. A horn statement of the main theme accentuated with a low percussive strike at the end is musically accompanying Beowulf heading out to battle a dragon. Beowulf's agreement he made with Grendel's mother has come to an end, so the dragon represents the revenge of the mother and is at the same time a result of the father's sins. Silvestri quotes his 'sins of the father' theme several times while "Beowulf Slays The Beast" as a show stopper during an otherwise fulminate action orgasm that may not be entirely fresh but still sounds damn rousing especially due to the forceful use of the cymbals and choir. The track also has some electronic drums at times driving the action forward though film and album version have some differences in that regard. It's quite exciting when they kick in as soon as Beowulf is on the back of the dragon and the action really takes flight. Silvestri's final rendition of the 'hero comes home' theme in "He Was The Best Of Us" is for gentle flute, choir and horn with the grief variation from "He Has A Story To Tell" returns to note that Beowulf's words about his end were indeed true. Beowulf receives a Viking funeral and is passed with a gentle rendition of the Grendel theme. Wiglaf remains on the shores, looking at the burning ship on the horizon before he becomes involved with "the final seduction" and Silvestri brings a closing variation on his material for grendels mother. The End Credits version of "A Hero Comes Home" performed by Idina Menzel is like a James Bond-esque rock-pop riff of Silvestri's theme and apart from the melody shares absolutely no resemblance to the gentle beauty captured by Robin Wright Penn in the film version.

The presentation:
Congratulations to the folks of Warner Records as they have managed to release a score-only album for Beowulf, something they haven't managed for Polar Express (2004). The album offers the lions share of score heard in the film but is sadly missing all the lovely medieval source music that was recorded well over a year ago already. This source material would have added that little special something to the soundtrack that many critics have missed because these medieval music tracks are something entirely new from Silvestri. As it is, the only hints at that material are the sparsely orchestrated Robin Wright Penn songs. The underscore itself is represented sufficiently with the only major omission being the first half of the Beowulf-Dragon fight and that was thankfully used in the End Credits following the song. At almost 46 minutes though, there was certainly room for these little bits of unreleased material especially for the source music. Get that through your head, Warners: If a score is already shorter than the running time of a CD, you can very well spent a few extra bucks to make it a real complete release. It would have clearly enhanced the experience in this case.
Presentation by the Label: 60%
Beowulf is just another score along with Van helsing (2004) that shows how Silvestri has changed his approach of adventure movies in times when pirate movies are scored with electronically altered orchestras to make them sound like synths. Silvestri, contrary to recent trends, remains honest about his electronic elements within the underscore and never even tries to camouflage that by creating an indifferent mess between synth and orchestra. Only within the unreleased traditional medieval source music he tackles something entirely new, so it's actually quite a clever combination of modern underscore and traditional source music while the latter adds to the former due to the integration of source songs. An honest modernism combined with his usual gift of melody leads to a very effective musical architecture that follows the character development of Beowulf from young and narcissistic hero to aged and fallen king who becomes victim of his own sins and weaknesses. As a stand-alone listening experience, Beowulf may confuse or even scare away some fans while introducing a whole new audience to the music of Alan Silvestri. This score is likely to divide critics until Ragnarok, just as the movie it accompanies.

Caroline is always thinking and processing - I just wonder what is going through that little head sometimes. I wonder about her rationale for doing things and about how she comes up with the most random ideas.
Last night, after bedtime, I heard a scamper acrossed the 2nd floor from the family room. Knowing my children very well, I could tell just by the sound of it, that it meant Caroline was out of bed. I took off my shoes to sneak up on her to find out what she was doing and listen to her. As I got up the steps, I could see that our bedroom door was partially shut and there were 10 little toes standing on the other side indicating that someone was checking themselves out on the full length mirror on the back of the door.
She didn't hear me but must have finished what she was up to because the door opened and out she walked. I asked her what she was up to and she mumbled something and tried to run past me. But I grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Again, I asked what she was up to because it wasn't apparent like it sometimes is by looking at her.
"Well, I was just looking in the mirror at my cheek. Oh, I just love my cheek. I just love my skin. I have such nice cheeks and skin."
WHAT? Of course, this made me smile and ask what she meant, but she wouldn't clarify and since there was nothing on her cheek, I figured she wasn't exactly being truthful with me. So I sent her back to bed. She really has a funny way of coming up with things....
Then this morning we were getting ready to go and she asked for new stick on earrings to be put on her. (These things are really the greatest for little girls who are interested in wearing earrings but might not be ready for piercing or their moms aren't ready.) My mom found 36 pair in the dollar bin at Target yesterday and Caroline was thrilled. When she had them before she would often proudly wear the same pair for days and because they look so real when they are on, she feels like such a big girl. So I put a new pair on her and she says, "When I get to Ms. Cathy's, I'll show her my new earrings and then I'll show her the backs because I don't want her to think I got my ears pierced."
So we get to Cathy's and she proceeds to do as she told me she would. I don't know why it was so important to make sure Cathy knew she didn't get her ears pierced, but it was clearly very important to her. Again, what is going through her little mind?

When last we spoke, I had just been notified that I was one of the Top 50 semi-finalists for Harlequin's So You Think You Can Write contest. I told you guys I was going to finish the book if it killed me. And you never heard another word.
That's because it almost did (if I may speak in a hyperbolic manner).
Over five days, I wrote 3o,000 words, and deleted about 15,000 of them (chapter six got re-written three times). Halfway through the second day, my carpal tunnel flared up. Halfway through the third day, I started to get sick. By the fourth day, I was miserably ill. We're talking 103-degree-fever-ill.
Still, I wrote on.

Good on you, Amber! Having none myself, I am very in awe of those with true fighting spirit.Reply
You absolutely need to finish your book. And the glimpse we got of the vintage clothing store owner needs to be developed. There is much to work with there. It would also be good for a script, if you want to give that a try. I know some filmmakers….Reply
Hope you are feeling better now Amber! Getting into the Top 50 is a massive achievement and one you should be really proud off. Just keep writing!Reply
Yay, you! I'm with Meagan. I definitely would love to know more about Becky and Mark. And, Jessie. And, that vintage clothing store owner. All of them! You've got a great talent, and I'd love to see one of your works in book form, someday.Reply
You know you can self publish on Kindle if you are really keen to do so…Reply
I think it's still really cool! And hey, anything that challenges and help us push ourselves towards realizing our potential is just awesome! keep writing! And you can self-publish in Kindle format really quickly, so get out there!Reply

The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy & Goth Girl
by Barry Lyga, Y Fiction Lyga
Fanboy has never had it good, but lately his sophomore year is turning out to be its own special hell. The bullies have made him their favorite target, his best (and only) friend seems headed for the dark side (sports and popularity), and his pregnant mother and the step-fascist are eagerly awaiting the birth of the alien life form known as Fanboy's new little brother or sister. Fanboy, though, has a secret: a graphic novel he's been working on without telling anyone, a graphic novel that he is convinced will lead to publication, fame, and - most important of all- a way out of the crappy little town he lives in and away from all the people who make it hell for him. When Fanboy meets Kyra, a.k.a. Goth Girl, he finds an outrageous, cynical girl who shares his love of comics as well as his hatred for jocks and bullies. But Kyra has secrets, too. And they could lead Fanboy to his dreams . . . or down a path into his own darkness.

A few themes kept coming up at the Litigating Women conference which I've just returned from. One of the discussions which I found most interesting was about narrativity and agency: have historians overstated the extent to which storytelling gave women agency? can the stories they told in court can really be thought of as theirs? does the fact that tropes about female weakness and dependence could be used to women's advantage counteract the damage which these tropes did? One of the issues with 'agency' in this context is, I think, that it often seems to imply (temporary) escape from structural constraints. But most of the ways in which women exercised power in early modern society reinforced those constraints. When women told stories in court, they were often publicising the shame of other women. In this context, their 'agency' could be disempowering and oppressive, contributing to a wider context in which women's bodies and behaviour were coercively regulated. 'Power' might be a more useful word than 'agency' here. Power can be a zero-sum game; it can be coercive or malicious; it can be exercised in a way which reinforces existing constraints.
The papers at Litigating Women also underlined how useful women's testimony can be for social historians. We heard about inheritance, credit and debt; enclosure riot and sequestration; the community ties of servants and women who sold sexual services. I was especially struck by a paper by Susan McDonough about women who worked in the municipal brothel of late medieval Marseilles. While municipal legislation barred them from the environs of the local church and tried to relegate them to the margins of the city, they brought suits about slander and violence before judges who met at its very heart, in between the church and the marketplace. [1] The stories told by women in English slander cases, which I've been looking at for the eighteenth-century North, similarly include defamers asserting their authority over space. But the power which McDonough finds in these women's testimony itself, standing in the centre of town which they were excluded from and speaking their part, is less obviously present in these sources.
Storytelling often worked to humiliate and disempower women. Carolyn Steedman has written about how the poor law forced its recipients to publicise their histories and circumstances: women who gave birth outside of marriage, or single women who were unable to maintain themselves, had to tell their stories to parish vestries and justices of the peace. [2] Poor women who appeared as church court witnesses might have their sexual and economic histories publicised through allegations brought against them. [3] As well as sexual insult between women, slander depositions describe men shaming women who they claimed to have sexual access to. [4] The witnesses who told these stories in court might enjoy them, especially if they personally disliked the defendant. But they might also resent being dragged into a case: one late eighteenth-century witness claimed that she had originally denied hearing a defamatory insult because 'she did not chouse to have any Thing to do in the Business', while another lamented 'the Trouble she might have in being called on as a Witness'. [5]
This reluctance can't be separated from these cases' late eighteenth-century context. [6] Of the thirty-four cases from 1777-1800 which I've looked at in my PhD upgrade chapter, only one took place in a fully public space. This was at Sunderland's corn market in 1787, and witnesses claimed that the slander had been met with cries of 'shame' from bystanders. [7] None of those who had allegedly cried out against the slanderer appeared in court to testify. Gossip had hardly lost its power: it's still possible to hurt people by telling stories about them (I have a theory that the present-day equivalent of these cases is long Facebook statuses denouncing ex-friends or ex-partners). But the relationship between law, publicity and shame had been reconfigured. This is an obvious point, but the power of storytelling is entirely dependent on context. When I volunteered as a benefits adviser and as emotional support for litigants-in-person in a civil court, I met a lot of people who really wanted to tell their stories to someone sympathetic, but were uncomfortable relating them before a judge or framing them in the way the DWP required. This was as true for parents telling stories which reflected badly on their exes in custody cases as for people talking about their own long-term health conditions.
So I think we need to separate out several different issues about law, narrative and power. Did women gain authority from telling stories outside of court? Did telling stories in court give witnesses power? What did these stories do to/for both the plaintiff and the defendant in slander cases? All of this will vary by place, time, and jurisdiction. I want to use a 1739-40 church court case from the rural parish of Monk Hesleden (Durham) to suggest one possible set of answers.
The case was office-promoted by Sarah Hall rather than sued by her as a plaintiff, which suggests that the court took it more seriously than most slander cases. Sarah was sometimes described as 'Mrs', but I think this was about her social position rather than her marital status: no husband is mentioned anywhere in the case, and her crime is described as 'fornication or incontinence' rather than adultery. [8] She was suing a woman called Mary Harrison, but the case revolved around a story told by another woman, the fifty-one year old farm worker Mary Welch. Enclosed in the cause papers is a loose piece of 'testemony' from Mary, pictured below. It wasn't written by her, as she couldn't sign her name, but it was in the hand of someone significantly less literate than the clerks who wrote down official testimony. It read:
the testemony of mary welch Consarning Mrs sarrah hall I mary welch do de Clare that I See Mrs hall Siting one one Sack of Corn and Robert harle Siting one an othere a bout toue yards distanc from but I see nothing of ill acted by them the dores being all open october the 29th 1739 as witness my hand
test William Robinson [9]
When Mary came before the court as a witness in May 1740, however, she retold the story which had prompted Sarah to bring the suit. Mary said that she had been employed by Mrs Yeale, Sarah's sister, at harvest time. One day, 'as she was Going up to Harvest Work about their Hay in the Morning sometime before Dinner', she noticed Robert and Sarah sitting on sacks of corn in Mrs Yeale's barn. She stopped at the open door of the barn, where she 'observ'd the said Robert Harle playing with his Red Handkercher Between his Leggs & Upon the Motion & Rising of the Hankercher the Privy Member of the said Robert Harle stood Cocking out & Erect & to this Deponents Memory about Halfway out of his Drawers But not Quite Bare but visible'.
She was still able to tell this story in vivid detail, no doubt in part because she had been repeating it so much. As Robert had no breeches on, she explained, only 'a paire of thin Course Lynn Drawers as is u'sd by work people in time of Harvest, she thinks his Privy Members was more Expos'd to the View by the means thereof'. She added that she had told this story to Henry and Dorothy Clapham (or rather, had told them 'that Robert Harle she Believed was in Great Haven Sitting before Mrs Sallee … with what He had Cocking Before Her'), and that she had been sent for by Sarah in October 1739. At Sarah's house, she had been 'Question'd pretty much about stories Relating to this affair & was told she Deserved to have her Ears nail'd to the Pillory in case the Stories Rais'd was true'. But she had replied, she told the court, that 'she Had told no more than the Real facts'. [10]
But wasn't it the case, she was then asked, that she had confessed 'before diverse credible persons and especially before William Robinson' that she had seen nothing indecent? And wasn't it also the case that the defendant and one Dorothy Clapham had sent for her and pressured her to testify? [11] Mary answered that she had been with William when she had seen Robert and Sarah in the barn; she had told him the same story that she was now telling in court. The defendant and Dorothy had indeed sent for her, but she had simply told them – again we find an insistence that she would tell the story which she wanted to tell, on her own terms – that she 'wou'd speak to the facts'. [12]
Dorothy testified on the same day as Mary Welch, and described her, rather than Mary Harrison, passing on the story. Mary W had come to her house on the Sunday before the citation was brought against Mary H, and had there, without being asked, reported the whole thing to Dorothy and her husband. Dorothy explained that the barn in question was 'the Barne of John Halls But now Belonging to Mrs Francis Yeale & Sarah Hall Daughters of the said John', underlining these witnesses' long knowledge of Sarah's family. (Dorothy was fifty; her husband's occupation wasn't recorded in the deposition, but she was able to sign her name.) Mary had repeated this story to her on several other occasions, she said, and never recanted it. [13] We also have personal answers from Mary Harrison. Even if she had spoken the words in question, she and her proctor argued, 'yet were not the same spoke by her with any malitious Intent but as a Hear Say Story from the said Mary Welsh or some other person'. [14]
We can return, now, to our questions. Did Mary Welch (and Mary Harrison) gain power from telling this story outside of court? Did the women who testified in court? What did this mean for Sarah Hall? I'm going to start with the second question, because it lets me describe an important part of the case which I haven't yet explained. Two witnesses testified about Mary Harrison's role in spreading the defamatory rumour, Frances Yeale and Alice Forster. Both women were Quakers, and so testified without swearing an oath ('according to the Statute in that Behalf'). In July 1739, they claimed, Mary Harrison had told them that Sarah 'was Catchd in a Barne with one Robert Harle with his Breeches Down'. She had said this, moreover, 'in a Very Malicious Manner'. [15] Both women were literate, and Mrs Yeale, at least, was from a substantial local family. She was also talking about her sister's reputation, and about a family barn which at least partly belonged to her. Meanwhile, Dorothy Clapham portrayed herself as an unwilling audience for Mary's story, while the interrogatories suggest that she was an ally of Mary H's who testified against Mary W in order to help her. She may well have enjoyed the story outside of court (it seems perfectly possible that she had passed it on to Mary H), and she did get to assert her local knowledge as a deponent, but her testimony mostly sounds defensive. Only Mary Welch was eager to share her story both with neighbours and with the court.
We can't know exactly what lay behind this case, but there are four possibilities:
- The story was a lie, and Mary initially recanted but then changed her mind. Mary didn't see anything indecent in the barn, and made up the story as a way to humiliate her employer's sister. When the case came to court, Mary decided or was persuaded to retract what she had said. Later, after talking to Mary H and Dorothy, she reconsidered and retold the lie as a witness.
- The story was a lie, but Mary stuck to it. Mary made up the story, but she didn't take it back. William Robinson, with the help of other people who wished to defend Sarah, wrote her loose 'testemony' and marked it with a cross. Mary did not sign her official testimony with a cross.
Mary's mark in court
- The story was true, but Mary recanted. Mary really did see the scene which she described to her neighbours and the consistory court, but was initially intimidated into denying it when the case appeared in court.
- The story was true, and Mary stuck to it. Mary was telling the truth, her loose testimony was forged, and her insistence that she had told the same story the whole time – with Sarah's attempts to intimidate her falling flat – reflected her behaviour throughout the case.
In all four scenarios, the story serves the same purpose. Whether Mary had made it up or not, it allowed her to critique a woman whose local power far exceeded her own. We don't hear much about occupations in this case (I'd check the names against other local records if I was in the North East and writing about this for something more than a blog post!), but we do find out that Robert Harle was wearing the coarse linen drawers 'us'd by work people in time of Harvest'. Part of this story's scandal came, then, from the fact that it accused Sarah of fornication with a farm worker. In my MSt, I looked at a late seventeenth-century London case where a woman called Isabel Neighbours testified against one Mr Cutting, who'd tried to get her indebted husband arrested by the bailiffs: other witnesses allegedly heard her say that she was 'resolved to be revenged of' him. Isabel's testimony was exceptionally detailed, relating even the mundane parts of a conversation with Mrs Cutting a year before (Mrs Cutting had asked 'how she did and how her Husband did, to which this deponent required thus very well I thank you'). This conversation led to Isabel telling Mr Cutting that his own wife accused him of sleeping with his landlady, causing an argument in which Mr Cutting, 'having a Knife in his hand, threw [his wife] back against the Barre and sayd he would Cutt her Throate'. [16]
Though Isabel was accused of making up her testimony in the name of revenge, another witness (whose testimony was not questioned) made the same claims about the substance of the case, Mrs Cutting having accused her husband of sleeping with their landlady. [17] The case had been brought by the landlady against him. Isabel's story was distinctive only in that it publicised Mr Cutting's treatment of his wife and was far more detailed, suggesting that she had rehearsed it many times outside of court. Malicious storytelling was not necessarily about making scandalous behaviour up, but using it to cause as much damage as possible. This was reflected in the legal basis of church court slander cases, which were concerned with malice and injured reputation rather than the truth of defamatory words.
Stories could cost the people who told them. Slander made sense in early modern England because people knew a lot about each another's lives, lived in close conditions, were tied into networks of service, credit and debt. But this also meant that stories could be easily traced back to their tellers, potentially affecting their credit (in both the moral and the economic sense) and employment prospects. Isabel perhaps thought she had nothing to lose; Mary Welch, however, had been employed by Mrs Yeale at the last hay harvest and might wish to be employed by her again. Spreading a scandalous rumour about her sister can't have helped, especially as Mrs Yeale came to court as a witness. At the same time, any power which Mary managed to claim through telling the story was directly proportionate to the power lost by Sarah.
In this case and others, witnesses talked about what they themselves described as 'Stories'. When Sarah (allegedly) told Mary that she deserved to be pilloried if 'the Stories Rais'd was true', she presumably meant the stories told about Mary's storytelling. If only in a desperate attempt to avoid culpability, Mary Harrison's defence that she had retold it only 'as a Hear Say Story' drew a line between malicious storytelling and reporting what was being said by other people. In a 1768 case from Lanchester (Durham), a witness described 'Mrs Bowerbank charging Dorothy Jons, for Raising & telling of stories against Mrs Whinney' and Dorothy denying this. But 'Mrs Bowerbank Knowing the said Dorothy Jons to Vary in her Stories, she the said Dorothy Jons said Did you doubt her, what wou'd you have me swear my self to the Devil, then said Mrs Bowerbank to this Respondent, pray Remember what Dorothy Jons has said'. There was an implicit distinction between the story told by this witness (who had answered Mrs Bowerbank, she told the court, that 'she wou'd, if Ever Call'd in Question') and the stories told by Dorothy. [18]
So what does this tell us? Most cases don't allow us to trace the power relations behind slander even in this partial and speculative way; those that do are often unrepresentative. Few slander cases were office-promoted in eighteenth-century Durham, and sexual insult was usually much more laconic than the story told by Mary Welch. But Mary was more invested in her narrative than most witnesses, not less, and so I am going to try to draw some tentative conclusions about storytelling, power and agency from this material. Telling shameful stories did give women a certain power: Sarah was clearly angry, and presumably also upset, about the damage which Mary had caused. Telling stories about social superiors had a significance of its own, though it was especially dangerous. At the same time, storytelling inside and outside of court was a very different experience. Witnesses described slander defendants confidently denouncing plaintiffs and vowing to 'prove' their insults; when cases were pushed through to a sentence, however, they usually lost. Justices of the peace seem to have settled slander cases by urging the person accused of slander to recant even when they denied the words in question. [19]
Despite the vivid stories told by witnesses, then, these cases are largely about slanderers being punished for their defamatory narratives. The stories which gave women the most power over their neighbours were condemned, even when they were told by witnesses like Mary Welch, Isabel Neighbours and Dorothy Jons rather than defendants. Slander testimony often gives us insights which we wouldn't get in any other source, and women's engagement with the church courts tells us a lot about law, gender and neighbourhood. But many of the stories which we're most struck by were being punished rather than legitimised. We need to situate these cases within the legal and local contexts which gave them meaning: to separate out the experiences of witnesses, plaintiffs and defendants; to foreground what we know about women's engagement with the law, trying to recover their willingness or reluctance, knowledge or uncertainty; to think carefully about the distance between a story told on the street and a story told in court.

Questioning the results of a legislative audit for the 2011/12 school year, Fountain Lake school board member Bob McCleskey said the audit "does not reflect the over $400,000 the state owes us. The audit is incomplete."
Speaking at the board's monthly meeting last week, McCleskey was referring to categorical funding withheld by the Arkansas Department of Education in retribution for the district's refusal to surrender revenue above the 25-mill Uniformed Rate of Tax collected during the 2010/11 school year.
Despite the district's subsequent Arkansas Supreme Court win against the ADE in November 2012, withheld funds have yet to be restored.
McCleskey described the three-day limitation on a district's response to the audit as "absurd" and implied that the issue is not concluded.
In other business, the board unanimously approved $ 17,400 for an emergency generator in the school's cafeteria.
Superintendent Darin Beckwith explained to the board the necessity to maintain refrigeration and protect perishables during potential power outages.
In response to board member questions, Beckwith also explained that the generator would allow the kitchen to continue working, serving meals during emergency situations.
The board also approved slightly more than $12,000 for a middle-school incentive award program. Students who meet benchmark testing requirements will be given tickets to Magic Springs Water and Theme park as a reward.
Beckwith's superintendent's update included news that the bid process for the high school's carpet project would be open soon, as well as a brief report on the efforts of Peters and Associates to review and make recommendations on campus parking and traffic flow.
Beckwith hopes to have recommendations from the firm and make changes to the campus before summer.
Beckwith also spoke to the success of the campus safe room, citing the many activities the new facility has hosted. Beckwith said "the safe room is constantly booked" and spoke about the recent parent fair where dozens of agencies were able to establish booths and provide parents and students with information on clubs, continuing education and both secular and faith-based summer activities.
The board then retired to executive session to discuss personnel issues including contract renewals and resignations.

Thanks to my friend Elena for pointing me to Weeknd's unreleased material this morning.
From Fact Mag:
Earlier this year, as you doubtless know, a more-anonymous-than-most r'n'b singer called The Weeknd released a mixtape. It was called House of Balloons, and it was very, very good.
Last night, six previously unreleased tracks leaked into the internet abyss, apparently from when The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, worked with a production team called The Noise. You can stream them below [via The Fader, via Pigeons & Planes], as well as a new Weeknd track called 'Rolling Stone' from his YouTube channel.

Testing for K2 / SPICE
SPICE, K2, or Synthetic Cannabis is Dangerous!
It can cause acute psychosis, long term psychotic disorders, or trigger previously stable mental disorders.
As of March 1st of 2011 the DEA made Spice and five other synthetics Controlled Substances to "avoid an imminent hazard to the public safety".
Urine Test for SPICE: $70
Why is this test more expensive that a test for Marijuana?
The test covers all the different kinds of synthetic Cannabis: cannabicyclohexanol, JWH-018, JWH-073, HU-210 and so on.
Synthetic Cannabis also known as SPICE, herbal incense, or K2 is often sold online, in head shops, and at gas stations. The products are sold under various brand names and are usually a mixture of legal herbs with a synthetic, man made, cannabis sprayed on it. The chemicals are designed to mimic the effects of Marijuana. Most users smoke the herbal mixture. Unfortunately, these man made chemicals are not detected by drug tests that are designed for Marijuana (or THC the active ingredient in Marijuana).

Before moving day try to get all of your goodbyes said. For a moving company it can be very frustrating when a neighbor "pops over to say goodbye" and stands in the door as we are trying to carry furniture in or out. Also if we have to find you everytime we need to know where a piece or furniture or some boxes go, it really slows things down.
A good moving day is a VERY organized moving day.
Last but not least, do not be afraid to friends and family asking for help moving. You probably don't want to have to look after children and direct your movers at the same time. You certainly don't want pets underfoot. Recruit family or friends to help you out.
Some other tips for moving day are…
- If you are using an elevator, make sure you contact your building management about reserving one. Sharing an elevator will really slow down your move.
- Make sure you have plenty of water or soda, especially if its a hot day.
- Remember your dishes are packed so have a meal plan
- If you are moving out of an apartment, many management companies will charge you if your apartment isn't clean so leave cleaning supplies out or hire an apartment cleaning service.
- Make sure you keep a copy of your inventory with you.
- Walk through your house before the movers leave and make sure that you didn't forget anything. Check closets, cabinets and shelves.
- Make sure there is plenty of room for parking a moving truck. If you have to park on the street call your local police department, many have special arrangements for moving trucks.
- If you are towing a car behind a rental truck, leave it at the pick up location so the trailer isn't in the way while you are loading your truck and then they can make sure the car is properly secured on the towing trailer.
- Leave your car at the drop off location, again so it isn't in the way unloading your truck and then you have a ride home after you drop your truck off.
- Have your payment ready ahead of time. Some moving companies charge their hourly rate until they are paid and you don't want to have them waiting while you look for your purse or checkbook.
With planning and organization you can save time, money and effort with your move.

Mein Problem
Our cat tipped over our macbook and it hit the ground on the ACplug side of the computer. The damaged caused the DC board to fail.
Meine Reparatur
I carefully replaced the DC Board with the tools i ordered and all is good again.
Mein Rat
Keep track of all the screws, they have have many different sizes.
I could not get the computer to power up the first attempt. when I figured it out, the problem was my keyboard cable(the long ribbon) was not all the way in. Would have been easier to slip the ribbon cable back in if the battery was out. but I didn't have the triwing tip to remove the battery. The solution is to use a small amount of tape. Tape a ribbon cable use the tape to help pull/push the ribbon cable all the way inside the connector then lock the connector in place. That was my only issue with the repair is slipping the ribbon cable for the keyboard back in place.

Health research institute launched in Abuja
The Federal Ministry of Health has launched the Medical Research Foundation with a view to funding health medical research across the country.
The foundation was launched in Abuja, during the national workshop on strengthening health research capacity organized by the Medical Research Institute.
The foundation is a public private initiative that focusses on funding of medical research and development.
It is expected that private stakeholders would contribute immensely to the development of medical research in Nigeria.
Speaking at the event, the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, represented by the Director, Public Health, Dr. Evelyn Ngige, said that health research is critical to the economic growth and development of the country.
The minister said, "role of research cannot be overemphasized especially in a developing nation with a rapidly increasing population like Nigeria that is faced with a lot of challenges especially in health, medicine, agriculture, economy, and infrastructure development."
Adewole expressed determination to provide necessary support to medical research in Nigeria.
"We in the Federal Ministry of Health will not rest on our effort to provide the enabling environment for the improvement of health and wellbeing of Nigerians", he said.
Earlier, the Director General, Nigerian Institute of Medical Research, Dr. Babatunbe Salako, said that the foundation was an opportunity for private sector to contribute in medical research in Nigeria especially now that government has a lot to offer.

Joel Chianese is fluent in Italian; an asset that has helped him get to know Alessandro Del Piero, he just wishes it would translate into an on-field combination.
Joel Chianese drops the shoulder, looks like he is going left, darts right, latches on to a pass from Alessandro Del Piero then bangs the shot home with authority.
The scene is from Sydney FC training as their Italian star and the fluent-in-Italian youngster carve up their opposition. It-s a sight Sydney FC fans and Chianese himself welcome.
For Chianese, who burst on to the scene with a string of flashy performances late last season, 2012/13 has to date been a write-off. It was supposed to be his coming-out party, then injuries struck him down, Yairo Yau and Blake Powell stepped up and the rest is as they say, history.
Now, he-s back and looking to reclaim his mantle as Sydney-s superb youngster, with Del Piero, a boyhood hero pushing him all the way.
If the story sounds familiar, it-s because it is. Blake Powell also fell under Del Piero-s spell. The difference being Powell was always a Juventus fan, Chianese admits to being a Roma man, but it doesn-t mean he doesn-t enjoy a special link with ADP, and it-s one Chianese is hoping to see blossom on the park.
"Tiago speaks Italian as well, Fabio bits and pieces, Zeljko as well, but as far as the players yeah, my Italian-s pretty good. It-s been a bit of a shame that we haven-t been able to work up a combination on the field and use it," laments Chianese, before admitting he is taking advantage of the linguistic connection.
"Alessandro is very good with his English, he didn-t find it too hard slotting in, but if he needed anything and didn-t understand, and I was there on the pitch I-d help out, it-s always nice to be in the good books, hopefully that banter on the training field can turn into an on-field partnership."
While Chianese respects Del Piero, he does admit he-d be a bit more star-struck of a man who once crippled the Socceroos were to come out and join him, but he-s grateful for the ADP experience.
"Originally I-m a Roma fan, so Francesco Totti, who Alessandro is good mates with was my idol growing up, but my family go for Juventus, so growing up watching him play, even when we heard that he was perhaps coming to Sydney it was a bit surreal, but now he is just another teammate, but one who happens to be a legend."
Legend that Del Piero is, Chianese is happy to sit back and take his advice, even if he does cop the odd spray for making the wrong move.
"I think he (Del Piero) is doing really well, it helps that he stays back at training and works on things with attacking players, if I-m not making the right runs he will tell me 'this is where I want you to be-."
With the news that Del Piero has re-signed, Chianese will get the opportunity to get a real partnership with the Italian star going in the not too distant future, given that they both have done new deals with the club. His own deal is one Chianese is happy with, believing it marks the start of a new era for himself.
"It means I-m secured for next season which is good, having an injury-ruined season isn-t the greatest, but to re-sign is great news, hopefully now I can start to cement my spot in the eleven that I am now fit, and signing on shows the club have a bit of faith in me."
And what of Sydney-s season? Much has been written about how they are coming along of late and the striker believes the possibilities are endless.
"Once you-re in the six anything can happen, even Adelaide, they-re dropping off a bit, we might be able to sneak fourth position if we keep winning, and then in the finals I think we-re a chance."

Mountain of Technology
99.5 The Mountain partnered with Ultimate Electronics to encourage donations to create a Mountain of Technology" . Listeners were encouraged to recycle their old computers, batteries, other electronics and appliences during this specific timeframe and received a thank you incentive for being responsible about recycling. Ultimate Electronics encouraged new purchases…and thereby highlighted thier new look and concept, by offering a discount on the purchase of new technology when an old one was donated the old.
During the 4 weeks, 99.5 The Mountain promoted the program on air and online and created awareness about the program as well as the details about the on site events at Ultimate Electronics. Two on site events were hosted by Mountain DJs and promotional teams. The onsite events created a timeframe for people to conveniently drop off their electronic items and be rewarded . There was a special incentive available specific to each event (I.e., free restaurant gift card and $10 off a $10 purchase from your business to encourage donations during the specific timeframe). Each person who recycled during the event and donated that day, helped in the building of the Mountain of Technology from Ultimate and 99.5 The Mountain!
