Bulletin Reports
Bulletin Reports
Methamphetamine Abuse
Combating Methamphetamine Abuse, a new fact sheet from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), describes resources available to communities to address meth abuse, including prevention and education programs. It also discusses support for enforcement efforts, such as investigative strategies and state and local drug task forces.
Some key points of the fact sheet reveal that the number of methamphetamine laboratory seizures in the United States decreased each year from 2004 through 2007; however, preliminary 2008 data and reporting indicate that domestic methamphetamine production is increasing in some areas of the country. Methamphetamine addiction is treatable, and problem-solving initiatives, such as drug courts and innovative reentry programs, can help communities stop the cycle of abuse. Resources and information must be made available to protect the most vulnerable victims of meth abuse—children. A new resource makes information available to communities, parents, and teens through a partnership between first responders and prevention professionals. The most effective strategies to fight methamphetamine abuse are comprehensive and collaborative ones—those that include prevention, education, treatment, and enforcement. BJA offers strategies and programs to assist states and local and tribal communities in developing comprehensive approaches to combat meth abuse. Access the National Criminal Justice Reference Service's website at http://www.ncjrs.gov for a copy of the fact sheet (FS 000318).
Electronic Crime Scenes
The National Institute of Justice has produced Electronic Crime Scene Investigation: An At-the-Scene Reference for First Responders. The publication is a quick reference for first responders who may be responsible for identifying, preserving, collecting, and securing evidence at an electronic crime scene. It describes different types of electronic devices and the potential evidence they may hold and provides an overview of how to secure, evaluate, and document the scene. It includes an overview of how to collect, package, and transport digital evidence and lists potential sources of digital evidence for 14 crime categories. The complete document (NCJ 227050) is available at the National Criminal Justice Reference Service's website, http://www.ncjrs.gov.
Body Armor
The Body Armor National Survey: Protecting the Nation's Law Enforcement Officers, Phase Two Final Report was produced by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) and the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). The purpose of this study was to add to the understanding of body armor policies and practices among law enforcement agencies across the nation. This BJA survey was the second phase of a large-scale project regarding body armor and officer safety. Phase One focused on the use of Zylon-based body armor by the 100 largest law enforcement agencies in the United States. This second study, Phase Two, collected additional data on the use of body armor from a large, nationally representative sample of law enforcement agencies. Data were collected on policies regarding the wearing of body armor, whether officers were provided with armor or had to purchase it themselves, the types of body armor used, fitting and maintenance of armor, and data on outcomes of use and officer safety.
Highlights of the findings included—
- almost all law enforcement agencies (99.4 percent) nationwide reported that their officers wear body armor when on duty;
- while not a requirement of many law enforcement agencies (41 percent do not require their officers to wear body armor), almost all agencies do provide fiscal support/resources to ensure their officers wear body armor; and
- there was an overall move by agencies toward promoting the wearing of body armor and providing the necessary resources to do so.
These findings of agencies' policies indicate that officers were more likely to be wearing body armor while assaulted in the line of duty and the number of officer deaths was lower than it otherwise would be. On the other hand, while most agencies did encourage the wearing of body armor, most did not have stringent fit and maintenance policies and did not conduct inspections of armor to ensure proper fit and maintenance. The complete study (NCJ 229250) can be found at the National Criminal Justice Reference Service's website, http://www.ncjrs.gov.

On October 6th, New Yorkers galvanized to stand up for Congo Women. Wooed and compelled by our humanity we pleaded with each other to continue to fight to end systematic rape as a weapon of war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Paradoxically, on October 29th, Sandy, confronted New York with an unprecedented irreverence.
Sandy raped, pillaged and plundered.
Mockery dripped like a dysfunctional faucet in the face of Federal, State and Local government officials as each scurried to return traumatized New Yorkers to some semblance of normalcy.
Power, heat and hot water, simple amenities that are often taken for granted, continue to elude, as misery bares down like double barreled guns.
Some say, Sandy is New York's Katrina.
Perhaps, Sandy is New York's Congo.
The sustained dismantling, disturbance and disruption of the innocent and helpless compounded by a Nor'easter just one week after Sandy's visit still jeers.
But rapists are cowards, whether they are from the Congo or from New York, though they may come in different forms as is the case of Super-storm Sandy or in the form of fellow human beings who have abandoned their humanity.
Hope Reigns.
And just as New Yorkers banded together on October 6th to stand up for Congo Women, we now stand together on the rubble of our lives with a fierce determination to rebuild, as we laugh at the days to come.

Peter Schweizer Talks About His Book, Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, And Line Their Own Pockets – Offers Solutions On Cleaning Up Congress
In 2011 we brought you a CYInterview with Peter Schweizer [see here]. His appearance on 60 Minutes, that year, led to Congressional legislation, resulting in the passage of The Stock Act. His NY Times Bestselling book, Throw Them All Out, was the main focus point for both interviews.

BofA's dismal mortgage-modification rate
Yet more proof, if proof be needed, of Bank of America's dysfunctionality comes in the latest HAMP report from Treasury. BofA has 1,018,192 loans eligible for modification — more than twice as many as anybody else; JP Morgan is in second place with 448,815. Of those million-plus mortgages, BofA has managed to turn the grand total of 98 into permanent modifications — a conversion rate of 0.0096%.
Elsewhere, the conversion rate is much higher: Ocwen Financial, for instance, has 4,252 permanent conversions out of 66,351 eligible loans, for a rate of 6.4%. Even JP Morgan Chase has managed 4,302 permanent conversions, for a rate of just under 1%.
It takes time to move clients through the trial-modification process and into something permanent, of course. But it also takes competence. And that seems to be a commodity in short supply at BofA.
In the WSJ's article on this issue today, they reported that it takes three consecutive payments in the trial program to be eligible for the permanent modification, so the "eligible" figure is much smaller than 1,018,192 that you report. Rather, it is a subset of the pool that includes the trial modifications which has 244,139 people enrolled. I think you might have jumped to a quick conclusion.
Well, there's eligibility for the modification program as a whole, and then there's eligibility for the permanent mods, so you do have a point, to some extent.
But so long as Felix is comparing apples to apples (and I'll bet you dollars to donuts he is), his conclusion will stand.

Found February 04, 2013 on Wrestlechat.net:
PLAYERS: Mick Foley, Dude Love
Future WWE Hall of Fame inductee Mick Foley held a comedy show in Adelaide, Australia over the weekend and spoke to the audience about a few wrestling-related items, including whether we'll ever see him in the ring again and why his off-air feud with Dean Ambrose ended somewhat abruptly. After feuding with Dean Ambrose on Twitter last year (and having a face-to-face confrontation with him during WrestleMania 28 weekend), Foley there were plans for them to wrestle at SummerSlam. Foley said he pitched the idea for him to wrestle Ambrose as Mankind, with a fake "Dude Love" coming out and attacking Ambrose during his entrance while Mankind would come through the ring, a gimmick he cleared with the Undertaker. The plans had to be dropped after he got a diagnosis from his neurologist saying he should not be in thering. During their social media war last year, Foley said he felt Ambrose went too far by making personal remarks about his family. When Foley told him to lay off his family, Dean kept bringing up his wife and kids, thinking that Foley's request to stop was part of Foley "working" the angle.

The first task is getting it up onto a rear paddock stand on my own (a bit of a juggle) and then removing the seat pan to get at the electrics. The pan is held on by three screws at the rear, and by the subframe top mount bolts at the front. I have feeling I'll be drilling a couple of holes into the front of the top subframe tubes to take a couple of screws, so that in future I can get the seat pan off without undoing the subframe bolts...
Having got at the battery/electrics the first thing is to replace the trickle charger tails that were in place to the battery. I've a feeling they were a bit tired, as I noted the charger kicked in & out if they were waggled. Next I'll be checking the condition of the single red wire from the Boyer to battery + terminal & replace if required, and doing similar checks on the red & green wires from the Electrex World combined rectifier & regulator. I'll give the battery electrolyte levels a check, & clean all the connectors.
Next it's time to pull the tank off & check the wiring underneath there...

You could be right; but, this whole thing had re-election written all over it from the very beginning. That's what I said the minute the news bulletin came across the TV that day. This was done so Obama would have a trump card in his pocket. Nothing more. You can't possibly believe that he or any of his cabinet members have the nation's security as their personal interest. You can say it is a politcal interest.

You should check your crystal frequency. I believe the DS1307 uses the external 32.768kHz crystal. These are temperature sensitive and the cheaper ones tend to be less accurate.
There are better TXCO with a self heated or stabilized reference. You might use a trim capacitor on X1 or X2 to trim the frequency. You might just swap out the crystal and get better (or worse) synchronization. I hope this helped.

The Power of Gradual
Behold the power of slow and steady, of making gradual investments in what is important to you: the quality of your family time, making more out of your career, learning a new hobby or sport or skill, striving to be a better parent, child or friend, losing weight, improving your health, building an organization, writing a blog or a book.
Seth Godin writes, "The truth is, gradual change is challenging and hard: challenging, because the people around you are demanding something great right now, and hard, because gradual requires the faith to know that your hard work is worth the investment…"
He just completed his 5000th blog post, so I guess he knows something about his subject.

Edited by Don Sabo, Terry Kupers, and Willie London. Philadelphia, Temple University Press, 2001, 296 pp., $55.65; $17.47 (paper).
This is a fascinating book! It is well written and well edited by three diverse editors—a professor of sociology, a psychiatrist, and a poet who happens to be a prisoner in a New York correctional institution. These three men have combined their talents, their interests, and their efforts to produce a book that is revolutionary, inspiring, and upsetting, all at the same time. The book is so rich in its breadth and depth that it would be difficult to summarize it in a few sentences. It really must be read not only by those who are concerned about the conditions within our prison system in the United States but also by those who are concerned about the effects of that system on the men (and women) who ultimately return to the community often worse off than when they were first arrested.
Most individuals who are incarcerated have not committed violent crimes. Many have, but the majority have not. Yet, while in prison, the chapter authors point out, young men have to learn to adopt a violent attitude in order to survive. They use the word "masculinities" not only in its sexual connotation but primarily as a gender issue to illustrate the problems that men in prison have as a result of the culture of "masculinization."
The editors speak of the prison code in a homosocial environment. They speak about "doing masculinities in prison." They give the following examples regarding the core commandments within the prison:
Even if you do not feel tough enough to cope, act as if you are. Suffer in silence. Never admit you are afraid. Whatever you see "going down"…do not get involved and do not say anything. Do not snitch—the penalty can be death. Unless you want to be branded a punk, do not do anything that will make other prisoners think you are gay, effeminate, or a sissy. Act hard and avoid any semblance of softness. Do not help the authorities in any way. Do not trust anyone. Always be ready to fight, especially when your manhood is challenged, and act as if you do not mind hurting or even killing someone (this is sometimes the only way to avoid being put in a position of having to hurt or kill).
That last statement is chilling: it shows that the culture within the prison teaches the individual to act as though he is ready to kill someone in order to avoid a situation where he may have to kill someone.
In other sections, the chapter authors point out the failure of the prison system as it is now constituted. They discuss, for example, the release of individuals directly from solitary confinement to the street, where they have no possibility of getting a job, have not learned how to socialize effectively within the prison system, and are expected to get a job if they are to maintain their parole status. They point to the failure of the system and the return of many individuals to the prisons.
This book is primarily a political treatise on the use of masculinities or male gender issues to perpetuate a failing system and to keep various people in power or in business. In addition, the editors raise the question of race and its political issue in the prison system. They point to the overwhelming majority of men of color in the prison system far beyond their representation in the community at large. Angela Davis, one of the chapter authors, presents her views of "Race, Gender, and Prison History: From the Convict Lease System to the Supermax Prison." From the standpoint of sexual problems for men in a homosocial environment where sex is not allowed, the chapter titled "Caged and Celibate," by Mumia Abu-Jamal, depicts the problems for the men who are not supposed to engage in sexual activities.
What is unique about this book is the inclusion of several pieces by inmates or former inmates reflecting their experiences in the prison system. There are treatises, firsthand accounts, and poetry that reflect the extremely difficult conditions faced by inmates in our prison system. The authors even distinguish among the various people who are incarcerated by the labels we give them, e.g., a prisoner is "a positive thinker, always thinking freedom…not a snitch, trustworthy among prisoners." A convict is one who has been "convicted of a crime, has a con mentality of trying to get over on anyone in any way possible, guilty but considers himself to be a 'victim of the system.' " And an inmate is one who will "do anything, has no individual will or resistance, acts as a snitch. The term 'inmate' is used to deceive the public and prisoners about the abuses and injustice in the prison system."
Reading this book led me to three thoughts. First, I was reminded of the treatise by Dr. Herbert Thomas (1), a very thoughtful psychoanalyst and correctional psychiatrist, who studied the concept of shame in the prisoners in the state correctional institution at Pittsburgh, where he has worked for many years. People entering the system have a sense of shame for having been caught and labeled as inmates, convicts, or prisoners. They may experience further shame at the hands of guards who may be sadistic and humiliating to them. If they are unfortunate enough to be sexually abused or raped by another inmate, they will experience even further shame and loss of self-esteem.
Second, women have talked about rape as a violent act of domination rather than a sexual act. Clearly, in prisons, homosexual rape is an act of violence and domination and unlikely to be sexually motivated in some cases.
The third association I had while reading the book was with the very fine drama on prison life on the Home Box Office network titled Oz. On the cover of the book, Tom Fontana, the creator of Oz, is quoted as saying, "Every legislator in America should be locked in solitary and forced to read this book."
I would not go as far as Mr. Fontana, but I would highly recommend the reading of this book to any thoughtful psychiatrist, mental health worker, or corrections officer who cares about the mental health of our prisoners and who also cares about the welfare of our community, which is exposed to the inmates who are released from prison, many of whom are more violent and less socially able than they were before they were incarcerated.
Finally, the book has a section on rehabilitation that offers suggestions about changing the system to allow for a more appropriate environment for men who must be locked away for committing crimes. The masculinities culture described by the editors and the authors of this fine book needs to be studied, explored, and modified in order to improve the mental health of our inmates as well as to protect society when these inmates return to live among us. We are all involved, even though the prison system has been set in isolation and away from the consciousness of us all. We do not like to think about what happens to people once they are whisked away to prison to serve their time for committing crimes against society. However, this book reminds us that we must be aware of the conditions in prison and must help to change the situation for the benefit not only of the prisoners, inmates, and convicts, but also their families, their friends, and the community at large.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - NOVEMBER 21: Matt Slauson #68 of the New York Jets in action against the Houston Texans on November 21, 2010 at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
The Chicago Bears continue to strengthen their team after agreeing to a one-year deal with offensive guard Matt Slauson Friday.
Slauson, 27, spent three of his four seasons with the New York Jets as a starter, after being selected sixth in the 2009 draft out of Nebraska.
The 6-5, 315 pounder will replace Lance Louis just two days after Louis signed with the Miami Dolphins.
"We are excited that Matt will be a Bear. He brings physical play and smarts to the offensive guard position and to the offensive line as an overall unit. His size, strength and power will allow him to challenge for either of the starting guard positions," general manager Phil Emery said on the Bears' official website.
Since the start of free agency on March 12, the Bears have signed 10 players; offensive tackles Jermon Bushrod and Jonathan Scott, tight ends Martellus Bennett and Steve Maneri, cornerback Kelvin Hayden, defensive end Turk McBride, linebackers D.J. Williams and James Anderson, and safety Tom Zbikowski.

Guelph, ON - Team Russia put an end to an 18-game losing streak on Thursday night winning in Ontario for the first time in SUBWAY Super Series history with a 2-1 victory over Team OHL in Guelph.
The win was recorded in dramatic fashion as Russia scored two third period goals in a short span of 24 seconds to erase a one-goal deficit and upset a stunned Team OHL.
Tyler Graovac (Ottawa 67's) opened the scoring in the second period for Team OHL with a shorthanded goal with a nice deke after accepting a slick pass from 67's teammate Sean Monahan.
The OHL would hold that lead until 12:41 of the third period when Anton Shenfeld completed a tremendous individual effort ripping a shot past Jordan Binnington (Owen Sound Attack) to tie the score.
Maxim Shalunov scored his second goal of the series at 13:05 which held as the game-winner.
Team OHL had chances in the final frame applying pressure with a late power play but could not solve Russian netminder Igor Ustinski who made 23 saves and earned Player of the Game honours.
Binnington took the loss in goal for Team OHL making eight saves on 10 shots, while Malcolm Subban (Belleville Bulls) stopped all seven shots he faced in the first half of the contest.
Graovac earned Player of the Game honours for the OHL.
A Sleeman Centre record crowd of 5,048 attended the game which also featured opening ceremonies with 1972 Summit Series Canadian hero Paul Henderson.
Russia now leads the 2012 SUBWAY Super Series 6-3 in points heading into Game 4 of the series to be played Monday night in Sarnia. The game can be seen live on Sportsnet and the NHL Network U.S.

Surf @Water
August 17, 2013 Atwater Beach, Shorewood, WI
On August 17th, the community of Shorewood, Wisconsin and the Great Lakes will gather together to celebrate what makes our community so special: our love of the lakes, fun with family and friends, and of course, SURFING!
From sunrise, to sunset, to the after-party (for all the grown-up surfers), Surf @Water has something for everyone! Surf lessons, water safety, picnics, and wrapping things up with a beach film festival, Surf @Water is one of the most unique celebrations the Midwest has ever seen!
The Itinerary
Start the day with a sunrise on the lake coupled with words of celebration and appreciation provided by members of the Shorewood and Greater Milwaukee community.
5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Ever been on a surfboard? Now's your chance! Splash around, learn about water safety and if there's waves, maybe even stand up on a wave or two!
And then, as the sun sets, bring your beach blanket and get ready for movies on the beach!
Over 90 minutes of short films featuring Great Lakes surfing, as well as classic surf flicks from the 1960's. Think of it as Gidget meets the frozen tundra of Wisconsin!
After-Party (a.k.a. Surf Camp) @ Camp Bar
The festivities wrap up with an after party "Surf Camp" at Camp Bar in Shorewood. Voted one of the best new bars in the nation by Details magazine, Camp will feature surf videos, Lakefront Brewery favorites and most of all, a raffle for a custom-shaped 9' 6" longboard shaped by Michigan-based Justin Bruursema of Burly Surfboards.
About Surfrider Foundation
All profits from Surf @Water will be benefitting Surfrider Foundation Wisconsin Great Lakes Chapter.
Here is a link to the Wisconsin Surfrider website: http://wisconsin.surfrider.org/about-us/
Here is a link to a short video about Surfrider Foundation: http://vimeo.com/mediatemple/surfrider
About: We're the Wisconsin Great Lakes Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, a non-profit grassroots organization protecting our oceans, waves, beaches, lakes and waterways!
Mission: Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world's oceans, waves, beaches, and lakes for all people through a powerful activist network (through conservation, activism, research, and education). Today there are over 70 chapters nationwide with affiliates worldwide.
Why a Wisconsin Great Lakes Surfrider Foundation Chapter: To leverage the popularity of surfing and use the reputation of Surfrider Foundation as a platform to inspire environmental ethics towards our waterways. There are actually a good number of people in Wisconsin who surf, whether on Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, or other Wisconsin waterways (rivers/inland lakes) who believe in the mission of the Surfrider Foundation. Some might even call Sheboygan the world's fresh water surfing capitol! Our region boasts many surfers, sailboarders, wakeboarders, kiteboarders, kayakers, Stand Up Paddleboarders, and watermen and waterwomen in general who support the Surfrider Foundation vision and want to contribute to preserving our water resources here in Wisconsin. Surfrider serves as a great vehicle for individuals looking to take action and has the resources to empower those individuals.

I saw Rachel Nelson perform this stunning show at the Minnesota Fringe Festival. "Stories don't live in the past…they live in the telling." Rachel brings movement and music to a compelling narrative about coming out and getting sober. Well worth seeing, Big Apple.

I saw The Urban Hermit earlier this year in the Twin Cities, and it is an absolutely wonderful performance. The story is very personal and very moving. Rachel Nelson uses a variety of musical instruments along with voice and movement to bring her story to life. I highly recommend it!

I saw this show last spring and was absolutely blown away. The smart, funny, moving script was written expressly for Mr. Fico, and he breathes full life into each character as the story unfolds. I hadn't known what to expect in a story about gay marriage and Alzheimer's; after experiencing the show, I saw why critics at the Edinburgh Fringe loved it. A lovely, touching show. Don't miss!

I had the pleasure of seeing ElizaBeth Bando's one woman show in a cozy Fort Worth venue last year. Her performance and scenarios were thoughtful and overwhelming sincere. If you enjoy art that unites us through humanity then don't miss Acet-o-philous or Vinegar Love.

ElizaBeth Bando is absolutely delight. I was fortunate enough to catch her show last year and I was very moved. Witty and vivacious, but with diligence for reflection, Acet-o-philous or Vinegar Love is a show that celebrates life. A must see.

First of all, I intended to give this performance piece 5 stars!
The dramatic vignettes, the music, the voice, the audience participation work together to create a performance you will want to witness. ElizaBeth Bando's provocative storytelling, her musical choices, her mellow voice, and her connection with the audience produce a vibrant, energetic, yet comfortable, night in the theater. I saw this production when it was showcased late last year. Reserve November 2, at 9:00pm for Acet-o-philous or Vinegar Love.

I saw Steve Mize's solo show LIFE, AUDITED at the Hollywood Fringe this summer and found it hilarious, disturbing, and inspiring all at once. Steve is a funny, generous and gifted performer. The show goes to some unexpected places.... SEE IT!

ABOUT THE SHOW: Ms. M is appears to be an 'unbreakable' teacher…or is that what she puts on for the cameras? Relatable for all individuals who ever valued a dedicated teacher or who have an unflappable devotion towards doing what they love most.

Watch this lady transform from cat to three different women. A wry look at relationships and all the soul-searching, miscommunication, self-sabotage and humour that explodes from them performed with a quiet grace. Halloran's incredible physical work, especially as the cat, is riveting. While the characters may be lesbians, the story is universal and highly, highly recommended.

It is thrilling to watch Susana Guillaume bring to onstage life
her offbeat, rags-to-riches, unstoppable force of a father, Lazurus Joseph, her elegant, dispirited mother Edith who early on found motherly ways difficult, her precocious and adored daughter-self, and the relentless memory of a son/brother who did not live for long. They travelled in high style -- this sophisticated, book-reading, Michelin restaurant-hopping family -- from the North of England to the South of France with a stop in Hollywood (where Susana was born) before settling in Nice where Laz at 93 walks out each day shaking his "stick" at the traffic as he searches for six tasty apples. There is great humor and great sadness. The writing is as deft as the acting. It is the kind of theater that playgoers will love: you are in another world but you are also in your own.

Susana Guilliame brings her complicated and humorous relationship with her father vividly to life in this beguiling play. Expect to laugh and cry as I did as you watch Susana and Laz and Mommie and other characters tell a story that is ordinary and extraordinary.

I have had the pleasure of seeing this show twice over the last year and highly recommend it. It stars the talented Sebastien Heins, from Toronto, Canada, and chronicles the lives of two rapping brothers and what happens when they decide to go solo after an argument at their own concert.
This is a moving and hilarious piece and had me on the edge of my seat with Sebastien's physical specificity and vocal precision. He is a graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada and is certainly someone to watch out for. You would be doing yourself a huge favour by seeing this piece, it is something that I will never forget and can guarantee you won't either.

I just saw Medea's Got Some Issues in Chicago and it is fantastic. A thought provoking hilarious re-imagining of the Medea Story it'll have you howling in your seat for it's breezy, jam packed one hour run. Ana Asencio is divinely hilarious and surprisingly moving as the title Murderess who defends her case with brio, brashness and fire. Emilio Williams is a skilled and promising playwright who crafts a cleverly subversive exegesis of this classic tale, with a bawdy and riotous packagin--part Ludlum part Euripides. By the end you not only feel Medea's pain, but also the actress who plays her as an actress who gets typecast because of her accent. It's "pomo", it's "mo", it'll leave you wanting mo'...go see it and tell all your friend's to run don't walk!!!!!

From the moment King Laz, the title character of this beautifully felt and precisely written show, appears on stage, you are in "luv" with him and his very reasonable daughter and their quirky world. That world is brought fully to life by writer/actress Susana Guillaume as she portrays herself and her slightly mad parent as they struggle for control of the everyday details of his living. King Laz is mesmerizing performance from start to finish; the appeal of an aging little man in the context of his broad imagination is universal.

Directed by Austin Pendleton
GRACE KELLY has always fascinated me but when I started to read about her life, I began to feel that her journey was not unlike my own and full of the struggle we all engage in to come to a more authentic sense of who we are and how we fit in the world.
In Longing for Grace, my reflection on Kelly's life is meant to be a gift of perspective, connecting the dots that Kelly herself may not have succeeded in doing.
For me, all good theater starts with passion; for self-knowledge, for insight into the larger world, and for an understanding of context to give our lives meaning.
Alfred Hitchcock once referred to Kelly as "a volcano covered in snow." What Longing for Grace achieves is a glimpse beneath the snow to the fire that drove an awkward girl from suburban Philadelphia to become a Hollywood legend. Written and performed by Grace Kiley

Don't miss this funny one-woman show that's part of United Solo Theatre Festival and so appropriately grapples with relevant issues of our time while also including story teller Zoe Weil's personal and witty tales of her experiences in life as a humane educator. It will leave you laughing and make you think deeply about things you never considered!

Zoe Weil's "My Ongoing Problems with Kindness: Confessions of MOGO Girl" is hilarious, poignant, powerful, and motivating. Zoe manages to tell us about some of the biggest problems in the world and leave us laughing while we ponder what we shall do about them. I see she's somehow managed to give herself 1 star in her posted review here. I suspect that's by accident, rather than her trademark self-deprecating humor. Be prepared to be transformed while you're laughing

"Williamson plays all [the] roles . . . brilliantly.
Right on and totally hilarious.
Another hit."
-- J. Peter Bergman, Berkshire Bright Focus
Glen Williamson performs two short stories by Kurt Vonnegut. In "The Kid Nobody Could Handle", a trumpet and a pair of boots compete for the soul of a destructive teenager, as a kind and gregarious high school band teacher confronts a humorless foster father. "Who Am I This Time?" is a wacky yet moving comedy about a small-town production of A Streetcar Named Desire. Williamson's portrayal of all the characters (and the characters they play) has been widely acclaimed in performances throughout North America and Europe. This is Vonnegut at his most human and heartwarming. The great American writer's hyperbolic narrative turns out to be wonderfully theatrical.
(Ninety minutes including an intermission; each story runs about forty minutes.)

I highly recommend this show! Zoe keeps the audience engaged and in stitches as she takes you through hilarious and real struggles in her life – a life that includes a powerful vision for creating a better world and that requires nothing less than kindness and compassion from her at all times. She's got great comic timing and is a master storyteller. You won't want to miss it!

I recently saw My Ongoing Problem with Kindness and loved, loved, loved it. Clever, engaging, and fresh! The witty, and I suspect rather kind, Weil did the impossible. She actually created a show that touches on the challenges of living a life of kindness in an unkind world. I learned a thing or two about the world and laughed at Weil's struggles with kindness, and at my own as well. Thanks!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm in a guild that consists mostly of IRL-friends, on Agamaggan-EU. We do meet the occasional really friendly, skilled and easy going player. We won't hesitate inviting them if they fit in well after running some PUG's. Eventhough we're all Dutch and thus speak Dutch in guildchat we do have a foreign guy (from israel) in the guild. He's really easygoing and enjoys going along on our guildruns through heroics and 10 man Naxx. We do tend to adapt to his needs and speak english when he's on. My point is that, eventhough we're not really looking for more people, sometimes you meet a rly cool person that can be an asset to your guild eventhough it's a tight group!

Interview The Alchemist
A few after releasing Gutter Water with Oh No, we've found back the same Alchemist. Two years passed since Chemical Warfare but our boy Al' did not change at all. He's still about musical visions and surprising jokes. Basically, we talked about eagles, Oxnard and Jason Goldwatch. And other stuffs.
13/02/2011 | Interview by Nicobbl with contributions from Ameldabee et MarOne (photographie) | Version française
Abcdr Du Son: Your beats as well as Oh No's are very different from the ones we usually hear from you guys. Don't you feel you're going to lose people here? Or maybe you just do not really care.
Alchemist: Collaborating with Oh was an opportunity of being looser, and I really felt that way and we were rhyming and doing the beats. You know I do not go back much to listen to all the shits I've done all over the years. I just do it and move on. I've had the chance to do this project… do I always want to be stuck in a box and sound like me. What is my sound? I do not even know. Maybe if you average all the shits I've done in the past you could get something. But truthfully, I sample and change my mind every five seconds. As for this project with Oh my mind was really open with all things he suggested. I did that because I knew Oh No was really dope.
I trusted him. I did not know him much before. I just knew his rhymes and beats were crazy. I was like "let's just have fun and create." Of course we were inspired by Madlib and Dilla by just collaborating. But even more than that, I was thinking about jazz musicians when you flip through all the records and you see something like Bob James and Earl Klugh, you look on the back, and you see recording live in Stockholm, in 19something, and you're like "I do not know if these guys knew each other before, but they did an album together and that was just dope." I just felt the same way when I started this project. Sometimes he was sending a joint and twenty five minutes after that I was sending him it back with lyrics on it. It was a lot of fun doing this album together, all about rallying.
Ab: How did you guys work together? Were you sending each other e-mails with instrumentals?
Al: Yeah, sometimes e-mail… but most of the time I attached a disk to the ankle of an eagle and sent the eagle to Oxnard!
Ab: [Laughs] Woah! How many eagles have you got?
Al: Well, we do not really keep track, a lot of them get lost or get caught before reaching Oxnard. Some of them also get shot before reaching the place. One time I just talked with Madlib and told him to check his e-mails. I had sent him an e-mail with a file attached just using my brain. [Laughs]
Ab: Basically, this project was all about spontaneity, with no real goal?
Al: Well, the goal just created itself on its own when developing the sound. If I had to make beats for a new album, I would be like "Yes, this is some Gangrene shit." Now we have something like a sound scheme based on the records we've been doing. It's like if you could turn you brain off and do stuff like that, you would get Gangrene ? Does it make sense?
Ab: Yes, it does make some sense. Even if it is chaotic sounds, we know you like chaotic stuffs.
Al: I'm not gonna lie but France to me is like sophisticated in my opinion when it comes to music taste. Paris always showed a lot of love for Mobb Deep. And I appreciate the honesty you guys have, just saying when you do not like shits. I always remember the love people had in Paris for Mobb Deep's Hell on Earth album. It had such an impact. I feel like angry today, with the same darkness, chaotic mindset I had at this time.
Ab: We had a look again at the videos you've done for the Gangrene project. Notably the crazy "Sickness" video. What was the main idea behind this one? How did you guys managed to make it?
Al: That video is the creation of the entire brainchild, thought of, created, executed of a very creative guy : Jason Goldwatch. I had nothing to do with this video, he just whipped together the most grotesque shit he could ever fucking find. I could not even watch it the first time I saw it. He just put it out on his own and I guess people are just as sick as he is as some liked it. They are probably fucking sick in their minds to watch it. Well... Big up to Jason Goldwatch. You know, he is incredible. I did not agree with what they wanted to do on that one. I don't think we could go too far though, like pull a leg or two, or cut one's finger and that's it. What did you think about it?
Ab: It is a pretty freaky video. Honestly I would not watch it before going to sleep. Do you think you could do something like a gore video, a kind of Living Dead shit?
Al: Gravediggaz has already done that kind of thing. And Gangrene is not on some "shoot grab" shit. I do not have any preconceived ideas regarding the musical scenery. I just want to do music that becomes Gangrene. I hate regular. You know, safe is wack. I didn't feel the video matched the music, but what you gonna do, what you gonna do? [NDLR: in a mafiosi' kinda tone, Tony Soprano style]. What you gonna do? [Laughs] Jason has done most of the shits for Dilated over the years. He is fucking weird, smells bad, never changes his clothes [Laughs] He looks like Tom Cruise if Tom Cruise had lost his job. That would be a nice description of Jason Goldwatch. He is one of the genius of our time.
Ab: You had the same approach for the "Take drugs" video?
Al: Yes, you know Jason is a very artistic guy. When we started to do the Gangrene project with Decon, he kinda got us in-house there. So it was clear we would have Jason to deal with all the visual aspects of the project and he was all excited about it. So we have let him deal with it. As for the "Take drugs" video, he was talking about a gun with a condom over it, beating people up, stuffs like that. I just let him do the fuck he wanted to. I did not understand it but it was all fresh.
