MTI Show Support: Sister Act
I believe that is "MTI speak" for "not available for licensing at this time". Perhaps it is still being done as a professional show (Broadway, Touring), or simply in the process of being re-worked for release. Shows can languish in this state for long periods.. (eg. Mary Poppins has always been in this state for years).

Thank you Andrew. That is helpful! I truly would not hesitate to contact my licensing agent however, I have to go through an artistic director and so it is complicated. I thought I might get a clearer answer through this venue and turns out I was correct.
Thank you again!

The MTI Show Collection: Shrek Jr....Expected Release Date?
I have made dragon puppets for Shrek the Musical, they are 22 feet long and require at least 5 high schoolers or adults to operate. I'd be happy to make a smaller version to be operated by 5th graders and up.
I'd like to asertain the demand and expectations for a smaller version. I have inserted a link (http://www.mtishowspace.com/community-rentals/558718/dragon-for-shrek-the-musical) to a picture and full description of the larger dragon. I could make a smaller lighter version which could be available in a month. I can be contacted through MTI or emailed directly (email@example.com) and welcome your thoughts on size, weight, functionality, and any other considerations.

Political parties should be banned in the United States of America.
In George Washington's 1796 Farewell Address, President Washington warned the American people of the dangers political parties pose to the nation's government (that of the United States under the Constitution). Considering the current government's stalemate and the abilities of political parties to "divide a nation", it seems most evident that he was right in expressing his concerns for the future of this country and for the welfare of its people.
As it appears, elected officials are more concerned with maintaining their own party's control over their rivals rather than serving the interests of the people and opens up the debate on whether political parties should continue to dominate politics in the United States of America at the expense of the American people and at the expense of a functioning government.

Paul Lillebo 10+Jun 8 2013: I'd be all in favor of your idea, Casey, if it were legal. Unfortunately, political parties are public associations just as legal as any other, and can't be banned. But they must be tamed, they have arrogated to themselves power that they should not have. As you say, they have become solely concerned about their own power, to the degree that the party that does not hold the presidency works constantly to ensure that the administration will be a failure. This is not in the country's interest, and is not the proper meaning of "opposition," which should imply a reasoned dialogue and assurance that all views be heard. But it's also true that it's a long time since a U.S. President made much effort to bring the opposition party into serious consultations.
In my opinion, the best solution is for us in the American electorate to get so fed up with our dysfunctional Congress that we vow to elect no one but independents who are committed to electoral reform, particularly to removing the corrupting effect of private money that now drives our elections. This solution is cheap and effective: We simply check off the name of an independent candidate. (I will add that we often have Rep. or Dem. candidates campaigning on the promise that they will work for election reform. Don't believe them. Even if they honestly believe their own rhetoric, as soon as they get to Washington they no longer represent us, they represent their party and they understand who butters their bread. No meaningful election reform can happen as long as these two parties are in power.)
I've written several essays on this topic on the web site Blue Ridge Journal. A summary of the ideas is here:

Outstanding! The only thing I did differently was to marinate it overnight. The avocado/corn relish is going on everything from now on!
Chipotle-Marinated Flatiron Steak with Avocado-Corn Relish
Photo: © Tina Rupp
The flatiron steak, a.k.a. the top blade steak, is a marbled cut of beef from the shoulder. Uniform in thickness and rectangular in shape (just like an old-fashioned iron), it's easy to butterfly for quick cooking on the grill. Here, Melissa Rubel flavors the meat with a bold Southwestern-style marinade made with smoky chipotle and fresh orange juice.
Yield: 4
- 2 1/2-pound flatiron steak (about 3/4 inch thick)
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 canned chipotle in adobo, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the can
- 1 large garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Hass avocados, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels, from 1 ear of corn
- 1/4 cup minced red onion
- 1 small jalapeńo, seeded and minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Light a grill or heat a grill pan. Set the steak flat on a work surface. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut through the center of the steak (parallel to the work surface), leaving 1/2 inch of the meat attached at the side so it can be opened like a book. Set the butterflied flatiron steak in a medium bowl or baking dish.
- In a blender, combine the orange juice with the chipotle, adobo, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and puree until smooth. Pour the marinade over the steak and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, gently mix the avocados with the corn, red onion, jalapeńo, lime juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip back into the bowl; do not wipe off the marinade. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill the butterflied steak flat over moderately high heat, turning once, until medium, about 6 minutes on each side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak across the grain and serve with the avocado-corn relish.

Science and faith in the work of Robert Boyle
Posted: 21 August 2014, 10:07
The science and Christian faith of Robert Boyle, one of the founders of modern chemistry (famous, for example, for Boyle's Law) have been brilliantly discussed on the BBC Radio 4 programme In Our Time, by presenter Melvyn Bragg and three expert guests.
A pioneering scientist and a founder member of the Royal Society, Boyle's work was motivated by his strong Christian faith. The programme is especially good at showing how Boyle's highly influential scientific method arose out of Christian beliefs.
One of the guests, Simon Schaffer, Professor of the History of Science at the University of Cambridge, says that Boyle's interest was 'not simply investigating nature because it is made, organised and run by God, but also in showing people that the way nature is organised and runs shows God's...

Debating The Unbelievers
Posted: 14 August 2014, 16:33
Gus Holwerda, the director and writer of the film documentary, The Unbelievers, which follows atheists Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss on a world speaking tour, recently took part in a debate with Christian author Graham Veale, whose book New Atheism: A Survival Guide, was published earlier this year.
The debate, broadcast by Premier Radio's Unbelievable? show, hosted by Justin Brierley, focused on the two 'rock stars' of atheism and whether their arguments against religion stand up. The show included clips from the film, including a now-famous response by Dawkins to the question of which is more important to him: explaining science or destroying religion.
Dawkins says: 'Science is wonderful, science is beautiful. Religion is not wonderful, it's not beautiful, it gets in the way....
At the sharp end of suffering
Posted: 13 August 2014, 11:57
Professor Richard Hain, a consultant in paediatric palliative medicine at the Children's Hospital for Wales, provides care to children with serious illnesses. His work deals with some of the deepest questions about human suffering. 'This isn't the way it is supposed to happen,' he says. Nigel Bovey talked to him about his life and faith.
Professor Hain, what are your present responsibilities?
As well as being a practising clinician, I am a visiting professor at the University of South Wales and honorary senior lecturer at Bangor University, where I'm involved in clinical research in children's palliative care. As a doctoral student in the Faculty of Theology and Religion at Oxford University, I am studying end-of-life ethics in children.

Sue Kimber, Professor of Stem Cells and Development at the University of Manchester and Co-Director of the North West Embryonic Stem Cell Centre, talks to Nigel Bovey about the ethics surrounding her research and how it integrates with her Christian faith.
Professor Kimber, what does your work entail?
I teach a stem-cell course, run a research laboratory and at the Stem Cell Centre produce cultures of human embryonic stem cells at clinical grade for research.
There are many areas of research that are less controversial, so what made you want to be in this one?

The legacy of CS Lewis, 50 years on
Posted: 22 June 2014, 13:04
Last November (2013), on the 50th anniversary of CS Lewis's death, Westminster Abbey honoured the novelist, poet, academic and Christian apologist with a memorial in Poet's Corner. At the same time, a symposium on CS Lewis was held in the church next door to the Abbey, St Margaret's, Westminster.
Christian Evidence has produced three videos which capture the key lectures of the symposium.
The symposium marked CS Lewis's career as one of the 20th century's most notable Christian writers and thinkers. As well as celebrating his remarkable achievements as a writer of fiction, apologetics and scholarship, the event looked at the question of how, in the 21st century, CS Lewis's example can be followed and his legacy continued.
In the opening lecture (see the video above), Professor Alister...
The hopeful option of belief in God
Posted: 08 June 2014, 11:21
Does reality make sense if God does not exist? Professor of Philosophy Hans Halvorson thinks not and explains why he is drawn to 'the hopeful option' of belief in God in this interview with Nigel Bovey.
Professor, what areas of research are you currently working in?
I have always been interested in the relationship between philosophy and science – particularly how we can do philosophy, either in a scientific manner or in a manner that's contiguous with what's happening in the sciences. In recent years, I have been looking at questions such as: 'What is science?' and 'Are there limits to science?'
I also specialise in mathematical logic and am studying category theory, which attempts to systematise the relations between different branches of mathematics. Because maths is...
Pythons to visit conference on Jesus and Brian
Posted: 03 June 2014, 14:51
And now for something completely different.
Bookings are still open for the Jesus and Brian conference, which is being held at King's College London between Fri-Sun, 20-22 June 2014. The conference explores the historical Jesus and his times via Monty Python's Life of Brian.
The conference features no less than two Pythons. John Cleese will be the after-dinner speaker on Saturday, and Terry Jones will join the conference on Friday for a conversation about the film.
Monty Python's Life of Brian provoked a furious response in some quarters when it first appeared in 1979, even leading to cries of 'blasphemy'. However, many students and teachers of biblical literature were quietly, and often loudly, both amused and intrigued.
Life of Brian in fact contains numerous references to...
Finding order out of chaos
Posted: 30 May 2014, 16:00
Physicist and theologian Dr Lydia Jaeger is Academic Dean at the Nogent Bible Institute near Paris. She talks to Nigel Bovey about creation and the orderliness of the universe.
Dr Jaeger, do you describe yourself as a scientist or a theologian?
By training, I am both. I have degrees in physics and in theology and a doctorate in the philosophy of science.
What first attracted you to science?
I had a very good high school teacher who taught physics – particularly astronomy – in a way that captured my imagination. He explained how the universe worked and helped me to sense the orderliness of it. I am attracted to physics because I like the idea that the universe is ordered – that there are laws we can discover and mathematically describe.
What attracted you to theology?

André Aleman, Professor of Cognitive Neuropsychiatry at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, has a head-to-head with Nigel Bovey.
Professor, what does your work entail?
My background is in neuropsychology. I conduct studies on psychiatric syndromes, such as schizophrenia and depression, by investigating the brain and its disorders. Increasingly, we are focusing on the ageing process and mild cognitive impairment, which might be the early phase of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
What is psychiatry and how is it different from psychology?
Psychiatry is a medical specialism about mental disorders. Psychology offers a broader view of human thought processes – perception, memory, cognition and so on. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor, who can prescribe medication. A...

Astrobiologist Professor Stephen Freeland, whose research includes the genetic code used by the majority of life on Earth today, talks to Nigel Bovey about the origin and future of the universe, and why he believes God is no 'smoking gun' designer.
Professor Freeland, what are your responsibilities?
I am part of the Hawaii team of the Nasa Astrobiology Institute, but my main work is as the Director of Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of Maryland, which is in Baltimore, USA.
What is astrobiology?

Philosophical Dictionary
Philosophical Dictionary was emblematic of the French Enlightenment. The scathing work chipped away at the archaic institutional structures of Old Regime France and the power of the Catholic Church. Bearing little resemblance to a modern-day dictionary, Voltaire's work uses sarcasm and maxims alike to engage the reader.
A Treatise on Toleration and Other Essays
In this collection of anti-clerical works from the last 25 years of Voltaire's life, he roundly attacks the philosophical optimism of the deists and the papacy, revealing his polemics and humanist philosophies.
Letters Concerning the English Nation (a.k.a. Philosophical Letters)
Voltaire's two-and-a-half-year sojourn in England left a profound impression, and these letters -- written as though explaining English society to a French friend -- focus on the country's religion and politics, with commentaries on Quakers, the Church of England, Presbyterians, Anti-Trinitarians, Parliament, the government, and commerce. They also include essays on Locke, Descartes, and Newton. Voltaire was much influenced by English tolerance, and his observations on the subject sounded a revolutionary note among European readers that resonated for long afterward. First published in English in 1733, Philosophical Letters was condemned by the French government as "likely to inspire a license of thought most dangerous to religion and civil order." It remains a landmark of the Age of Reason.
Zadig and L'Ingenu
In Zadig, Voltaire's hero must face many terrible and humorous misfortunes on his path to happiness. Gentle Zadig is abandoned by his fickle fiance, framed by a jealous enemy, sold in to slavery, and sentenced to death before he can reunite with his true love. L'Ingenu depicts a "child of nature" brought up by Huron Indians, who returns to his native Brittany, where he exposes contemporary hypocracy with his simple, naive view of the world. Both are stories of young men who are both blessed and buffeted by the workings of fortune.
Micromegas and Other Short Fictions
Traveling through strange environments, Voltaire's protagonists are educated, often by surprise, into the complexities and contradictions of their world. Arriving on Earth from the star Sirius, the gigantic explorer Micromégas discovers a diminutive people with an inflated idea of their own importance in the universe. Babouc in "The World as It Is" learns that humanity is equally capable of barbarism and remarkable altruism. Other characters include a little-known god of infidelity, a pretentious graduate who invites a savage to dinner, and an Indian fakir who puts up with a bed of nails to gain the adoration of his female disciples. These "fables of reason" are often seen as an early form of Science Fiction.

The Portable Enlightenment Reader
Isaac Kramnick (Editor)
The Age of Enlightenment of the eighteenth century, also called the Age of Reason, was so named for an exultant intellectual movement that shook the foundations of Western civilization. In championing radical ideas such as individual liberty and an empirical appraisal of the universe through rational inquiry and natural experience, Enlightenment philosophers in Europe and America planted the seeds for modern liberalism, cultural humanism, science and technology, and laissez-faire capitalism. This volume brings together the era's classic works that demonstrate the pervasive impact of Enlightenment views on philosophy and epistemology as well as on political, social, and economic institutions.
Rousseau's Dog: Two Great Thinkers at War in the Age of Enlightenment
David Edmonds and John Eidinow
In 1766 Rousseau was on the run from intolerance, persecution, and enemies who decried him as a madman. Meanwhile, Hume, was universally lauded as a paragon of decency. Having willingly put himself under Hume's protection, Rousseau, with his beloved dog, Sultan, took refuge in England, where he would find safety and freedom. Yet within months, the exile had accused Hume of plotting to dishonor him. The violence of Hume's response was totally out of character, and the resulting furor involved leading figures in British and French society, and became the talk of intellectual Europe.
The Rights of Man
Thomas Paine
History has come to regard Paine as the figure who gave political cogency to the liberating ideas of the Enlightenment, and his great pamphlets, Common Sense and Rights of Man, are seen as classic arguments in defense of the individual's right to assert his or her freedom in the face of tyranny.

Because THIS IS MY LIFE.
Cosmonaut Crashed Into Earth 'Crying In Rage'
This Day in Space: 1927. Cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov born. He would be the first person to die during a spaceflight.
So there's a cosmonaut up in space, circling the globe, convinced he will never make it back to Earth; he's on the phone with Alexei Kosygin — then a high official of the Soviet Union — who is crying because he, too, thinks the cosmonaut will die.
The space vehicle is shoddily constructed, running dangerously low on fuel; its parachutes — though no one knows this — won't work and the cosmonaut, Vladimir Komarov, is about to, literally, crash full speed into Earth, his body turning molten on impact. As he heads to his doom, U.S. listening posts in Turkey hear him crying in rage, "cursing the people who had put him inside a botched spaceship."
This extraordinarily intimate account of the 1967 death of a Russian cosmonaut appears in a new book, Starman, by Jamie Doran and Piers Bizony, to be published next month. The authors base their narrative principally on revelations from a KGB officer, Venyamin Ivanovich Russayev, and previous reporting by Yaroslav Golovanov in Pravda. This version — if it's true — is beyond shocking.
Starman tells the story of a friendship between two cosmonauts, Vladimir Kamarov and Soviet hero Yuri Gagarin, the first human to reach outer space. The two men were close; they socialized, hunted and drank together.
In 1967, both men were assigned to the same Earth-orbiting mission, and both knew the space capsule was not safe to fly. Komarov told friends he knew he would probably die. But he wouldn't back out because he didn't want Gagarin to die. Gagarin would have been his replacement.
The story begins around 1967, when Leonid Brezhnev, leader of the Soviet Union, decided to stage a spectacular midspace rendezvous between two Soviet spaceships.
The plan was to launch a capsule, the Soyuz 1, with Komarov inside. The next day, a second vehicle would take off, with two additional cosmonauts; the two vehicles would meet, dock, Komarov would crawl from one vehicle to the other, exchanging places with a colleague, and come home in the second ship. It would be, Brezhnev hoped, a Soviet triumph on the 50th anniversary of the Communist revolution. Brezhnev made it very clear he wanted this to happen.
The problem was Gagarin. Already a Soviet hero, the first man ever in space, he and some senior technicians had inspected the Soyuz 1 and had found 203 structural problems — serious problems that would make this machine dangerous to navigate in space. The mission, Gagarin suggested, should be postponed.
" He'll die instead of me. We've got to take care of him."
- Komarov talking about Gagarin
The question was: Who would tell Brezhnev? Gagarin wrote a 10-page memo and gave it to his best friend in the KGB, Venyamin Russayev, but nobody dared send it up the chain of command. Everyone who saw that memo, including Russayev, was demoted, fired or sent to diplomatic Siberia. With less than a month to go before the launch, Komarov realized postponement was not an option. He met with Russayev, the now-demoted KGB agent, and said, "I'm not going to make it back from this flight."
Russayev asked, Why not refuse? According to the authors, Komarov answered: "If I don't make this flight, they'll send the backup pilot instead." That was Yuri Gagarin. Vladimir Komarov couldn't do that to his friend. "That's Yura," the book quotes him saying, "and he'll die instead of me. We've got to take care of him." Komarov then burst into tears.

LOCATION No. 7 CLIFF ISLAND
The location of this island will take us down the bay beyond Peaks Island, and about three miles due east from Long Island. Many stories have been written about Cliff Island. Some were fact and others were legendary. We will try to stay with the facts as close as possible. First a little about the geography of Cliff Island. It has great coves, low sand bars, and many lush pine groves; a nicer haven for the artist, scholar, or traveler, has not been found.
There is one prominent legend of the island that the natives keep alive. It concerns the notorious, "Captain Kief", who was believed to be a smuggler and one-time pirate. He lived alone in a hut and during the stormy weather, would fasten a lighted lantern to his horse's neck; riding up and down the narrow stretch of the island, in the hope of hiring passing vessels to their doom on the treacherous reefs. Unsuspecting pilots soon found their ships pounded to pieces and their cargoes salvaged and confiscated by this island ghoul. He got rich our of the spoils. Today the islanders hate to point out to the curious, the "Captain's" own private graveyard, a pretty, grassy meadow which ever since has been known as "Kief's Garden", and where his innocent victims are said to sleep their long last sleep. Now the reader should understand, that by reading the preceding tale, you have a good location here on Cliff, for a real treasure hunt. The Author wishes you good hunting.
Much love to the Island.

The Echo Never Fades6 Reviews
Chapter 1...
Open a new tab or window and paste this into the URL bar. Don't start the song until you get to the three dashes (---).
Sometimes I look back and wonder where it all went wrong.
We had everything everyone else wanted. Fame. Money. Adoring fans.
But it didn't make us happy.
Gerard was always a little crazy. Most people thought the strange darkness that possessed him was just stage acting that helped bring our shows together perfectly. He would calm down for things like interviews, but there was always something in the back of his mind that made him more abnormal than the rest of us.
Maybe that's why it happened.
Some would say it's because of his inspiration for this band. I won't deny that seeing people fall from two of the most important buildings in this country would make anyone depressed. I won't deny that if he hadn't seen it we wouldn't be where we are now. I won't say that if it had never happened, we would never have been happy.
I will say this. I would give anything to bring him back.
He's happy now. I'm sure of that. He doesn't have to worry about fame or money anymore.
He's also sad. Because now his fans have no one to look to or listen to when they're in desperate need of help. Suicide rates increased almost ten percent for several months after it happened. They have three albums and a few extra songs. That's it. We tried recording a few tracks with a new singer, but after about two seconds we had to stop.
It wasn't Gerard. It wasn't Gerard, so it wasn't My Chemical Romance. And it never would be again.
Watching the band fall apart was perhaps the most excruciating experience of my life. I remember countless heated debates where we fought over the issue. Ray and Bob often got into violent shouting matches with one another that usually resulted in someone getting a black eye. Frank became the group's designated mediator, a task he took to quickly and easily. I was thankful he had decided to take my unofficial place as the band's adviser. I was usually too depressed to speak to any of them. I spent hours just playing bass, making up whatever I could think of, since thinking itself was too painful.
I've only ever had one thought since that day.
My brother is gone, and he's never coming back.
I've never stood on a stage like this before. I don't even know how long it's been since I've been on a stage without lighting and sound equipment. Just... the stage. The stage and me.
I feel a long-unfamiliar rush of adrenaline course through me. I miss that feeling, the electricity in the air we always felt just before we did a show. I haven't thought about performing for the longest time, because without Gerard there I could never do it.
A thin veil of silvery dust coats everything in this old, shadow-filled room. There's the faintest hint of mold permeating the air, but it only adds to the atmosphere. I half-expect a ghost to come out of nowhere. There is some kind of strange aura here; I'm not sure what it is. I can hear music being played very softly, a flowing piano piece. It's coming from another room nearby. I close my eyes and breathe deeply, letting the memories wash over me. The heartache is still there. It never disappeared. It never faded. It never will.
Frank is standing on the far left side of the stage, holding back the gold-fringed curtain and saying my name very softly. I turn and glance at him. He looks different...older. He doesn't wear nearly as much makeup anymore. None of us do. There's no real need to. He acts like he's about to start walking towards me, but I stop him.
"I just want to be alone," I say quietly. He nods once and vanishes. The silence fills the space as if he was never there. Again I stare out at the empty, red velvet seats, seats that I know would have been ripped from the floor and tossed aside had this been one of our concerts. Not that we ever would have performed at a place like this. We would have brought the delicate, archaic theater crashing into the ground.
I catch a hint of movement out of the corner of my eye, but I don't turn towards it. The air suddenly feels colder, like all the warmth of life has drained from it. It is still and silent, and seemingly frozen in place. I shiver slightly. I can see my own breath. I don't remember the last time I was so cold. So lost. So alone.
I blink, and when my eyes open again the palest wisp of gray passes before me. At first I think it's only my mind and memories playing tricks on me. It wouldn't be the first time. I've been letting the pain catch up to me lately, watching the video of that concert more and more. I have every horrifying second of it memorized, but for some reason it's comforting to watch. It reminds me of him.
Now, as I stand here and grow colder by the second, I realize that we should have seen it coming.
It was something most bands have to deal with at some point in their careers. The threats. Most of them amounted to nothing more than a crazed anti-fan trying to get people to hate us, or one of our own fans playing their version of a prank. We just laughed it off. Gerard had expected it to happen since our songs were so different. Nonetheless, we had countless people ready to protect our band on a moment's notice. Our mom had even insisted on us hiring at least one bodyguard once we left for the Black Parade tour. Gerard had smiled when he told the rest of us. That was definitely like her.
I'm paying attention to the song now. The piano intensifies, and the sweet tones of another instrument begin to play. I think it's a saxophone. It sounds like the music is coming from behind me now, echoing beautifully throughout the room. The rest of the orchestra begins playing majestic, bright notes. I smile and turn around, intending to find where it's coming from.
I stop, seeing a polished, black grand piano on the stage. It wasn't there when I first came out here, but it blends with the room's melancholy color tones almost perfectly. The blue-gray shadows fall across it with liquid forms as if it belongs there. That's not what surprises me, though.
Someone is sitting at the piano, playing the melody to the song. The person is intently focusing on the music, and I can't say I blame him. It's not an easy piece. He has unusual snow white hair that is just as pale as his skin. He is completely clad in black. None of this surprises me either.
He looks up at me with soulless, dead eyes of a nondescript color. They seem to flicker back and forth between green-hazel and a silvery gray, as if they can't decide what shade to be. He's still playing the song, now fingering a solo with just one hand. He hasn't blinked yet.
I never knew he could play the piano.
"Hey, Gerard." I speak softly, watching for his reaction. There is none; he only continues to play without looking at the ivory keys. It feels like he's staring straight through me. "When did you get back?" I ask with almost a half-laugh. He looks away, staring listlessly at the ground. The song has the entire ensemble behind it now, but I only see him. I wonder where the rest of the music is coming from.
"I miss you," he whispers. His soft voice carries over the music as if his words are the only sound in the room. He stops playing and lets the other instruments take over for several measures, and his right hand drops from the keys as if it's taken all of his energy just to get this far. He sighs heavily. "I can't stay long."
"You can't leave!" I cry suddenly. The song comes to an abrupt halt. Sighing, he lifts both hands and begins to play again, bringing the music back to life within a few seconds. I can feel tears springing to my eyes, but I don't cry. I'm done crying. "We need you here."
The sound of a cymbal crash halts the music again, but for a longer amount of time. The cold silence eats away at me as I watch him sit there, unmoving and patient. I've seen this look in his eyes many times before. He knows what's coming and he doesn't want to tell me. The full, warm tones of the wind instruments break the stillness of the frozen air between us, trying to breathe life back into the room. Nothing will revive it, though.
"I have to leave. You know that," he says quietly. "It's not my rule." The saxophone plays a solo of its own before he begins to play several rolling chords, trailing his long fingers over the ebony and ivory keys with no effort. The song seems to come naturally to him.
"How can you do this to me?" I nearly growl at him. "It's not fair." The song is getting softer now. He's gradually fading from exhaustion. I can almost see through him.
"I came...because I want you to remember me," he murmurs as the music grows even quieter. "I don't want to fade from your memories."
"You never will," I assure him. "I could never forget you. Not if I lived for another hundred years."
He does something I haven't seen him do in a long time. It's one of the things I've missed the most. He smiles.
"The sound will vanish eventually," he says, "but the echo never will."
The song ends. He stands after the last chord echoes around the ancient room and fills it with more sound than I would have thought possible. He looks at me for one solemn second with clear, sharp eyes of brilliant hazel. His hair seems silver against the rest of the room. His skin looks like the ivory keys of the piano, and his uniform, the ebony. They are a flawless match.
I blink and both of them are gone.
The tears are beginning to flow now. I hear footsteps on the scuffed stage and look to my right, where Frank is again standing and watching me. Maybe I imagined all of it.
"Mikey, we need to leave," he says quietly. When I don't move, he walks out towards me and looks out at the empty room. I wonder if he's thinking the same things I was. "Do you remember it?" he asks softly, a nostalgic smile coming to his face. "The excitement we'd always feel on stage? The electricity? The /people/?"
Of course I remember it. The unceasing screams and cheers after we finished playing Helena, Gerard coming back to the stage alone saying he wanted to sing some of our B-side songs, the gunshot seeming to come out of nowhere... God, of course I remember it, Frank!
"Yeah," I manage to say. "I do. But it was a long time ago. A lifetime ago."
He embraces me, and somehow I know he's crying too.
"The echo never fades," I tell him. It's all coming back to me with overwhelming speed.
The fans rushing past our fleet of security guards and barriers. Ray screaming at them to stay off the stage. Frank rushing to get an ambulance.
Bob finding the shooter in the wings and beating him to a bloody pulp, killing him.
Me rushing to catch him as he fell, getting a permanent rust-colored bloodstain on my bass. And not caring.
Me holding my brother's still-warm body, his fresh blood painting his black shirt a dull red that glistened in the bright lights of the stage, his terrified hazel eyes staring up at me as the life poured out of him and onto the stage in a pool of red ink.
Watching Brian collapse to the floor and pound his fists against it in agony as the stage went dark.
Hearing the screeching cries of our beloved fans as they watched him being carried away.
Standing alone in the arena later on, watching a pink foam form as they scrubbed the stain from the scuffed black stage, and knowing in my heart and soul that we were over.
Yeah. I remember. The echo never fades.

I'm so happy that he's almost potty-trained even if the yuckiest diapers are the last to go. It means he is still a baby. Sweet. He still wears a diaper for sleeping, and he brings a diaper for me to put on him for #2 because he's still unsure about using the potty for that.
We had friends over last night. My friend knows just how much this house has tested my gratitude, and she laughed when I found something good about the old carpet ... that it is good for a potty-training toddler. He does well, but it feels really nice not to fret about the rare accidents. I just clean and move on. (Why can't I just "move on" in all other thoughts I have about this house?!)
Gross ... and good. Much praise for potty success, little angst over accidents. Love it.
But back to my cloth diaper recommendations; I'll be splitting this topic into a few posts. I do use a mix of the three options I'll be writing about, but they each work so well that you could simply follow one method to diaper your baby successfully.
$4 per month
How does that sound for diapering a baby through potty-training at around age 3?
My favorite cloth diapers are Green Mountain Diapers flats ($50 for 24 flats) with Flips covers ($84 for 6 covers) for a monthly cost of less than $4 over 36 months.
With my older children, I spent about $40 per month on disposable diapers, and the cost kept on going with each month until potty-training.
It is the opposite with cloth --- the total cost keeps going down with each month until potty-training.
True, washing adds to that cost, and my last post of this little series will attempt to quantify that in order to get an accurate, total cost.
Yes, I love vintage-style flats better than the fancy all-in-one diapers. Single-layer cotton birdsye fabric cleans the best. Folding a flat into a rectangle takes seconds, similar to stuffing a pocket diaper.
Buy high-quality flats from Green Mountain Diapers. Don't "try-it-out" with the cheap, big-box store variety; you won't feel the love.
I have two dozen of each size (so my cost doubled the minimum cost I wrote above). You don't need small flats, but sometimes a better fit keeps you going with cloth in the early days. The origami-fold holds even newborn poop, keeping it off the cover. I don't think we had any blowout diapers using cloth, like we frequently did when our newborns wore disposables.
Oh my goodness, look at my cute newborn with a tied-on flat. I didn't need to tie it for the cover to hold it, but it was so fun to diaper him.
One pad-folded flat in a Flip cover is now our go-to for quick toddler changes. When my son was younger, I used the origami-fold almost all the time. Two flats folded together work for nighttime.
Another benefit --- flats dry quickly, either in the dryer or on a line. I line-dry all of my laundry because my dryer is an old electricity hog and line-drying saves us a lot of money.
And flats will be used beyond the diapering years, as clean-up cloths around the house, so their usefulness just keeps on.
Truly, the modern covers (or is it elastic!? or snaps!?) changed cloth diapering. Wrap-style covers hold an classic flat or prefold without pins. I think at least six covers are needed. Finding the right cover for your baby's fit is key.
Flips are my favorite because they are one-size and have stretchy tabs, similar to the way a disposable-diaper tab stretches. They reliably fit newborn through toddler, and come in velcro or snap closures. I prefer snaps because they fasten well. Velcro provides a more custom fit, especially on a newborn, but older velcro loses its stick, and is easily undone by toddlers. Gross, not good.
Using cloth is an adjustment. It does take more time, but it can feel good too. The money saved is really good.
Diaper changes happen a few times a day more frequently with cloth. It is good for a baby's skin to be washed and aired often.
It is bulkier, especially on a newborn. That can take some getting used to until your fashion eye adjusts to a new look. Not having diaper blow-outs is worth it.
But it is cuter too ... covers come in so many colors and prints.
Diaper changes can get creative and fun. I seriously felt like I was playing dolls with my last baby when he was brand-new, trying new folds and new covers.
Next up ...
Next, I'll write about an economical DIY cloth diaper system. My third post will review a one-size option. The last part will detail my washing routine.

Man flees Oak Creek drive-thru, leads cops on short chase
Oak Creek - A 24-year-old Franklin man was arrested for drunken driving after he fled from officers who tried to talk to him while he was waiting for his food in the drive-thru lane at McDonald's on March 2.

Greendale seeks public input on TIF proposal to revitalize downtown
Greendale — A proposed tax-incremental finance district in the village's downtown area could lead way to a number of changes: attractive public spaces, new attractions for visitors, safer access to the Greendale Middle School.
But as of right now, village officials stress that the TIF is just an idea on paper.
Residents got their first look at the Canterbury Heights Revitalization Project at an open house at the Greendale Safety Center on Tuesday, Sept. 23. The project, which proposes establishing a TIF district in the downtown area, is based on recommendations made by the Community Development Authority on Aug. 6.
A TIF uses new property taxes from future development in an assigned area to help finance other projects, such as enhancements to Greendale's downtown. Taxpayers and business owners would not pay additional taxes to support the TIF, but, rather, an investment from the village would be repaid through new tax revenue generated by new development.

keep wood door with white trim or stain everything
February 13, 2013 in Polls
Have wood stain trim and doors with matching wood blinds throughout our whole house. Not a big fan of all the wood trim work but the doors are solid wood and don't have the heart to paint them white. Also don't, want to replace the matching wood blinds. Therefore wondering if a mix of white trim with wood doors look okay.
We tried it in our master bathroom and need opinions

Paint the door white. There is something dingy and dark about all wood doors.
Love to hear input on this too... we are replacing all our old wood windows with white vinyl and will be doing all the window trim in white. Our doors are a honey oak color and honestly I just don't want to do the work to paint them all. So question is, is okay to have both? Wood doors/blinds with white trim??

Agreed if you planning on keeping everything the same white is the way to go definitely you can never go wrong with white . You can add color in with other decor.

I like it either way. Though it is less expensive to have painted trim. It looks like you have pre-primed trim.

That's the crazy thing. We have all stained wood trim and doors. Therefore i m wondering if we are making the home look cheaper by painted the wood white? But once again the stained wood doesn't look great with dark flooring or some paint colors. So because we have stained wood blinds we were thinking of doing a mixture.

Question for interiors international. Do you see or have done homes with white trim work with wood doors? Or is that something that is out dated?

I have done that recently in a house where portions of the house had painted trim and others had original antique woodwork. All the doors in the house are a dark stained 6 panel pine and no one has disliked it enough for any such comments to reach our ears. It's hard to get honest opinions out of people, face to face, but extreme opinions usually get to us through the grapevine.
I like the look. Painted white doors look great until the fingerprints, dirt spots, dents, dings and chips start to show up.

I like the solid wood doors left as is with white trim. I have doors done that way in my 1926 schoolhouse home. But my opinion is the trim could stand to be more substantial with that large of a door.
White trim with solid wood stained doors is a classic and very traditional combination. Our house, which dates from the 1920's, has white trim throughout with solid mahogany doors and stair rails. This is original to the house, and most of the colonial and georgian style houses in our 1920's neighborhood have this classic combination (the Tudors have wood trim throughout). Of course, it is also fine to paint your doors to go with the trim or in black as a contrast. It's entirely a question of what you feel will look best with the style of your house and your furniture as a whole.
I'd at least switch out the door knobs for something that blends more subtly with the doors.

use a high quality dark wood furniture polish on the doors. live with them that way throught the seasons with the resulting changes in light and mood. you can always paint them next year if you don't like the look. throw a big white bathrobe or towel on the hook to break up the block of brown.
February 15, 2013 at 4:40AM Like
Thats a great idea with the towel or robe. The doors are just stained without a clear coat on them. If i use the polish would that make streaks on the doors?

Our home is more contemporary/ modern open concept style. Maybe the white and stain combination doesn't work in our home since it seems from other comments its more in traditional homes?

we had solid wood doors we bought for our previous house. I stained and varnished all of them just a bit darker and warmer color than what Martha posted. At the time, we also replaced all the woodwork since it was the cheap clamshell. It looked great. Unfortunately that was 1990, and in 1995 sold our house. But all that work paid off because it sold quickly with that being one of the features. I wish I could at least do the stained wood doors in this house, but with 15 inside doors, closets etc, it would be a lot more pricey than our previous house with only 6 doors to replace.

Pee-Wee Herman: 'Taylor Lautner's Playing [Me] In The Movie'
Will a "Twilight Saga" star be stepping into Pee-Wee Herman's white wingtips?
"Taylor Lautner's playing Pee-Wee in the movie. That's what I understand," Paul Reubens, in character as Pee-Wee, joked to Access Hollywood on Monday.
The "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" star is making a comeback with a new stage show in Los Angeles, debuting at Club Nokia in January – and he added that a pair of movies are in the works.
"There's going to be at least two new movies. Most people don't know about it, yet, including all the studios," he laughed with his trademark "ha-ha." "I'm sure there will be in my lifetime."
As for the reason to resurrect his famous character, Paul said he just felt Pee- Wee calling.
"I just got up one day and felt like I'm gonna come back, that was it," Paul said. "I just felt like, 'Not doing that much, might be fun to rehearse a show for weeks and weeks and weeks.'"
In the meantime, the funnyman has been involved in scientific pursuits.
"I'm involved a lot with the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, space exploration," he said. "We just discovered water on the moon, I'm sure you've heard about that. In my spare time."

Awesome!! Different way to fix and serve clams. Everyone loved it. Serve with bread suitable for dipping in broth.
Oven-roasted Clams with Chanterelles, Bacon, and Tomatoes
Notes: This robust combination of flavors comes from Seattle chef Tom Douglas of Etta's Seafood, the Palace Kitchen, Dahlia Lounge, and now the Dahlia Bakery. If chanterelles are unavailable, you can substitute fresh crimini or shiitake mushrooms (for the shiitakes, trim off and discard the entire tough stem). Douglas leaves the olive pits in but warns diners before they dig in. Serve the clams with toasted slices of hearty bread rubbed with garlic, to sop up the juices, and a Chardonnay that's light on oak: Try the 2000 Frog's Leap, Clos du Val, or Savannah-Chanelle.

I got a call from Banfield, and there is a recall, as stated above, I reside in Daytona Beach, Florida, and have the product which has been recalled, Doc goes in on Monday for testing!!! We shall see.
Wormshield Recall – Worm Shield Recalled, and The Most Info You'll Find About Why WormShield Med Was Recalled is From Yahoo Answers
I only learned about the pet med called WormShield being recalled because it popped up on Google Trends.
This is one of those "ground up" stories, where the people searching for why WormShield was recalled — out of deep concern for the pets they gave the WormShield to in hopes of preventing heart worm, no doubt — have brought it to the light.
And in fact there are no news reports showing up in Google Trends about the WormShield recall, but the customers commenting in Yahoo Answers say they received a call about the WormShield recall — and learned from some of their vets that the WormShield recall was voluntary, and that it wasn't strong enough to protect certain sized larger dogs.
So if your concerned, I'd suggest a call to your local pet hospital or vet to learn more.

My good friend, conservationist, blogger, and all-round good guy, Tristan Reid has added another startlingly large tattoo to his ever-growing 'tattoos for Turkey' collection: a cracking Pied Kingfisher. I have no idea really whether or not Tris is merely putting on a brave face when he says his arm 'hurts a bit', but by now his stabbed and ink-filled upper arm must surely be VERY painful indeed.
Why's he doing it? Check the links below, but first admire what I think is a really good job by the tattooist…
Pied Kingfisher Ceryle rudis
Why is he doing this? Because Turkey's wildlife is in catastrophic danger from an unbelievably bad series of dam and hydro-electric power developments.

Driving over Trail Ridge I Stopped at Forest Canyon Overlook. It was early in the day, but a few hardy souls were at the rim, their jackets buttoned and their collars turned up against the freshness of a summer morning at 11,600 feet.
"Isn't that something now!" said a young woman with her husband and two children.
"It sure is a long way down," replied the man.
"Dad! Let's go out there!" The boy started for the brink.
"Neil! Don't!" shrieked the mother and firmly grasped his arm.
They stood for a moment gazing across at the uplands of Sprague Mountain, Terra Tomah, and Mount Ida towering above the rocky canyons of Hayden Gorge and Gorge Lakes.
Casually, the girl asked, "Mom, why are the mountains so steep and then so flat on top?"
"I don't know," her mother replied, "but they look like they've been there a long, long time.
"Maybe they've had a hard life," the husband laughed. "Let's go." He snapped a picture and they were off.
Two thousand feet below, the spires of a vast spruce forest ruffled the dark green floor of Forest Canyon. To the west, small blue and green lakes glittered in deep basins surrounded by high gray cliffs. Snowbanks peered from the shelter of shadows. Above the cliffs, in striking contrast, a broad, gently sloping tundra upland, the roof of the Rockies, stretched away to north and south along the Continental Divide.
The girl's question kept coming back. "Why are the mountains so steep and then so flat on top?" More questions followed. When was the flat upland formed on the mountains? Or was it perhaps formed first, and then uplifted as the mountains formed? When and how did the mountains form? The rocks must have formed first, but how much younger are the mountains? When were the canyons cut? They should be younger than the upland, which is clearly cut by their deep basin-like heads. But are they? Obviously the canyons are glaciated, for you can see ice-scoured ledges and knobs in them. But did the glaciers cut the valleys or flow down valleys that were already cut?
This geologic history of the mountains in the Park attempts to answer these and other questions. It is based on current knowledge, but future research may well prove some things wrong. That is the way science advances. The successive events are related in terms of their age, for methods are now available by which the age of certain kinds of rocks can be measured in years. Thus it is possible to say that this happened about 65 million years ago or that happened about 100 thousand years ago.
The first part of the story explores the almost incredible series of events that has brought about the present mountains. Truly, they have had a long hard lifeindeed, many lives. Today, with minor exceptions, only the oldest and youngest rocks on which this history is based are preserved in the Park. To fill the gap, the intermediate history is borrowed from nearby mountains and plains (see index map), where rocks of the missing ages are preserved. You may feel skeptical, and perhaps a bit confused, as events lasting millions of years flash by in a few pages, But if the mountains seem to alternately rise and wear away faster than you can follow, pause and glance up at those in the Park. They'll still be thereand will be for millenia to come.
The second part of the story traces the events of the Ice Agethe last 2 million yearsduring which large glaciers advanced and receded in the canyons. Most of the landscape of the Park either is the product of sculpture and scour by these glaciers or is formed of their deposits. In fact, the shape of most features is the work of the last large glaciers which occupied the canyons from about 25,000 to about 13,000 years ago. More specific features of the landscape are mentioned and illustrated in this latter part of the story than in the earlier part, because they have survived and you can see them.
