Edward Hourihan Jr. loves his work.
A commercial litigator and managing member of the Syracuse-based Bond, Schoeneck & King PLLC's local office, Hourihan, with a complete lack of irony, describes his firm-management chores as "a joy." He is equally upbeat about his work as a lawyer.
"Trial work," he says, "is some of the most exciting stuff you can do."
Hourihan, 46, was one of five Harris Beach PLLC lawyers who left the firm as a group to start the Rochester-area branch of Bond, Schoeneck in 2008. Their departure was a coup for the Syracuse firm, which had long sought entry to the Rochester market.
The office here was managed for a time by a Syracuse partner with Hourihan serving under him as a deputy. In January, Bond, Schoeneck made Hourihan the local office's managing member and named one of the original five former Harris Beach lawyers, Timothy Fitzgerald, as Hourihan's deputy.
A firm with more than 200 attorneys, Bond, Schoeneck has offices in Albany, Buffalo, New York City, Ithaca, Utica and Long Island as well as out-of-state offices in Overland Park, Kan., and Naples, Fla.
"We'd been looking to get into Rochester for I don't know how long," says Richard Hole, Bond, Schoeneck managing partner. "I've been on the management committee for 10 years and it goes back before that. I know we're only an hour and half away, but there's no substitute for being right there in the city where the clients are. We'd had opportunities before. This was the first one that seemed right."
That Hourihan and the other departing Harris Beach partners were well-established in the Rochester community and would bring clients with them was certainly a big factor in the calculations of Hole and the Bond, Schoeneck management committee.
Two of the departing lawyers, Fitzgerald and Peter Lutz, were co-leaders of Harris Beach's commercial real estate group. The others were litigators with well-established practices covering a range of business and commercial law.
The local Bond, Schoeneck branch has grown rapidly, expanding to its current complement of 18 attorneys, up by three in the past year. Sixteen are based in Rochester. Two travel here a few times a week from Syracuse to work with Rochester clients.
Further expansion is in the works, Hourihan says. The firm now occupies a 15,000-square-foot space at its Linden Oaks office. It has an option on another 15,000 square feet, which Hourihan expects to expand into next year to accommodate new lawyers and support staff.
"We are expecting the Rochester office to grow. We're pretty happy with the way things have turned out," Hole says.
Adds Hourihan: "We talk to people all the time. I'm talking to a couple of interested individuals right now."
Most of the locally based lawyers in the firm's local office left established careers at large Rochester firms to join Bond, Schoeneck. The biggest contingents, including the original five, came from Harris Beach and Nixon Peabody LLP, respectively the region's third- and second-largest law firms. Four attorneys came from Nixon Peabody.
Hourihan credits Bond, Schoeneck's culture for drawing recruits from other firms.
"It's about shared values and promoting advancement as a team. It's not about money," Hourihan says. "I realize that's what everybody says. But Bond, Schoeneck means it. It's not just an empty phrase."
When people ask why he and his partners jumped from Harris Beach to Bond, Schoeneck or why the four ex-Nixon Peabody attorneys made the move, Fitzgerald says, "They always assume it was about the money. It really wasn't, but I've given up trying to correct anyone."
As Hourihan and Fitzgerald explain it, the motivation is money-but not in the sense of a firm offering big jumps in compensation to prospects in hopes of luring rainmakers away from rivals.
In most law firms, Hourihan says, compensation models are based on a principle lawyers call "eat what you kill." It means that the rainmakers-lawyers with loyal followings of lucrative corporate clients-get paid in proportion to the billable hours they log.
There are two things wrong with eat-what-you-kill models, Fitzgerald says. First, they promote unproductive, internecine competition among partners. And second, less-senior partners, associates and others end up doing much of the legal work on jobs brought in by rainmakers, but they often are less well-paid and feel slighted and exploited.
Hole and Hourihan decline to detail Bond, Schoeneck's compensation formula. They maintain, however, that it is fairer than common pay schemes, rewarding all for the work they do whether they initially brought in the client or not.
Eat-what-you-kill compensation models "in my view unnecessarily intrude upon and dominate law firm dynamics," Hourihan says.
"I make a very nice living," he adds. "I don't really need to worry about how much more I could be pulling in."
That said, Hourihan and Fitzgerald stop short of specifically linking their distaste for standard compensation schemes to their former firm or to any other Bond, Schoeneck attorney's former firm.
"Our relations with our previous firms are civil," Hourihan says. "We all have friends at our old firms who we continue to practice with."
He and the four lawyers who left Harris Beach with him had long discussed such an eventuality before the Bond, Schoeneck deal came up, Hourihan concedes.
Still, he adds, "we owe them a debt of gratitude. We all got good training at Harris Beach."
A passion for litigation
The joy Hourihan might feel in handling management chores-from drafting an office budget and overseeing leasing arrangements to keeping an eye on the office's strategic direction-clearly is overshadowed by the delight he takes in litigation.
Commercial litigators often prefer to arrange out-of-court settlements or, failing that, to try for wins on summary judgment motions that are typically argued in written pleadings, with court appearances confined to hearings in front of a judge.
Hourihan likes going to trial.
"There are people who call themselves litigators and there are people who are litigators," Fitzgerald says. "Ed is a litigator."
Litigation, Fitzgerald adds, is a form of combat. It requires much the same kind of strategic thinking and ability to psychoanalyze an opponent as boxing. In litigation, however, the physicality is stripped away, leaving only the strategy and the will to win.
A 1998 study bolsters Fitzgerald's point.
It found litigators to have higher-than-average testosterone levels-a finding that was as true of female attorneys as male.
Hourihan, he says, "comes off as a friendly guy and open guy, and he is. He lays his cards on the table. People may not realize what a fierce competitor he is, but he is. Whether it's old-guy hoops in the driveway or a trial, he wants to win."
That Hourihan takes cases to trial more often than most commercial litigators "is something I admire about Ed," says James Moore, a recently retired Harter, Secrest & Emery LLP senior partner.
Moore is a longtime friend of the family of Hourihan's wife, Bridget Dee. He helped Hourihan land a job at Harris Beach when Hourihan first moved to Rochester, suggesting to then Harris Beach partner Lawrence Andolina that "you ought to take a look at this guy."
A partial list of local cases Hourihan is involved in currently includes contract litigation for Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, litigation involving the Rochester-Genesee Regional Transportation Authority's new downtown bus terminal and the town of Prattsburgh's wind-farm dispute with EcoGen LLC.
In addition, he represents Max Farash heir Lynn Farash, who is in a dispute with the multimillion-dollar foundation her father endowed with most of his real estate firm's considerable assets. The foundation, says Hourihan, is also trying to claim the share left to her.
Among out-of-town cases Hourihan has on his plate is an $8 million claim in a New York City federal court for Carrier Corp. related to Goldman Sachs' $2.1 billion lower Manhattan headquarters building.
Asked to name a case he rates among his most memorable, Hourihan names not a business dispute but the Vernard "Vandy" Davis case, a 2004 wrongful-death claim he took on contingency as a Harris Beach lawyer on behalf of Davis' estate.
Davis had been caught in a 2001 police raid on a Rochester drug house. He had not threatened anyone or been holding a weapon. He ended up dead, however, when an officer holding a shotgun tripped and accidentally discharged the weapon, which had been pointed directly at Davis.
In 2001, a state court jury faulted Rochester Police Department procedures but found no negligence on the part of the police officer who shot Davis. The jury found the officer had acted in conformity with department policy.
A separate jury was to consider damages.
Hourihan was asked to step into the case by Davis family attorney John Bernacki after several other lawyers had declined to take it on.
While Davis had done nothing to deserve being killed, because of the drug-house connections "he was not exactly a sympathetic figure," Hourihan says.
"I think Ed took the case because he thought it was the right thing to do," Fitzgerald says.
The dispute ended up in mediation with Moore as the mediator.
Hourihan put on the stand then Rochester Police chief Robert Duffy, who Hourihan recalls as "a very careful witness."
Arguing that a flashlight mounted on the shotgun had forced the officer to aim the weapon, which had a hair trigger, at Davis in the dimly lit drug house, Hourihan won a $500,000 award for Davis' heirs, three young children.
"Ed did a very good job," Moore says. "It was not a very popular cause."
Inspired to practice law
Hourihan was born in Messina but reared in eastern Connecticut, where his father, now a retired insurance company executive, moved the family.
Asked if his mother was a stay-at-home mom, he points out that "her job was raising eight children." Hourihan is the family's third and youngest son. His younger siblings are all girls.
An English major at Sienna College in Loudenville, Hourihan graduated with a B.A. in 1987. He had begun college with little clear idea of what he might do but was inspired by a political science professor and pre-law adviser, Leonard Cutler.
Before Cutler sparked his interest in law, Hourihan says, "I had no idea what I would do with a liberal arts degree."
Cutler, he notes, is a master of the Socratic method. He leads students to conclusions by asking an artfully arranged series of questions rather than merely lecturing.
Hourihan earned a J.D. from Western New England University School of Law in Springfield, Mass., in 1990. His first job as a lawyer was with a Connecticut police union that kept a dozen lawyers on staff. He handled a variety of cases for the union, Hourihan says, and was happiest with those that had him going to court.
"I liked getting into the fray," he says. "I still do."
Because his wife's family is in Rochester, they visited frequently. He fell in love with the region, and after a couple of years with the police union decided to move to Rochester without lining up a job first. After landing a position with Harris Beach, he stayed, moving from associate to partner, until going to Bond, Schoeneck.
A confirmed city dweller, Hourihan and his wife live in the Browncroft neighborhood. They moved there after they outgrew their previous home on Rockingham Street, where they lived near then Rochester mayor William Johnson Jr.
Hourihan and Dee have a daughter, 15, and sons ages 13 and nine. Dee teaches English as a second language at Monroe Community College.
"I loved Rockingham," Hourihan says. "I'd really like to move back some day."
A basketball player, Hourihan keeps a regulation-size ball on a shelf in his office and an undersized, office novelty net on the door. Until it broke up, he used to play in a lawyers league, where he says a number of prominent local attorneys and judges often had heated and sometimes superheated disputes. He still plays pickup games when he can.
Hourihan has been to Haiti twice since the 2010 earthquake. He went not as a lawyer but as a medical assistant. His father has been on the board of the Haitian Health Foundation, an organization founded by Jeremiah Lowrey, a Connecticut orthodontist who started organizing missions in 1982 to provide dental care to poor Haitians.
The organization, which initially worked around Port-au-Prince with Mother Theresa's Missionaries of Charity order, for some years has centered its efforts in Jeremie, an impoverished region where Mother Theresa personally asked Lowrey to set up health care facilities. The foundation now runs a public health facility in Jeremie.
"I was essentially standing there handing things to people," says Hourihan, who also sits on the boards of the YMCA of Greater Rochester, the Norman Howard School and Literacy Volunteers of Rochester.
He convinced a longtime friend and client-Eric Wangler, president of Jaccard Corp., a kitchen supplies firm based in Orchard Park-to accompany him on an eight-day Haitian excursion last year.
"I could see why they made Ed managing member of the office," Wangler says. "He's a great idea guy. He inspires people."
Hourihan and Wangler, who lives in Mendon, met through their children, who attended the same Brighton elementary school, Seton Catholic Academy. The two friends co-run the Mary Grace Ryan Memorial basketball tournament at Mercy High School. Wangler largely credits Hourihan for the fast-break tournament's growth from 18 to 43 teams.
When Hourihan tapped him to go to Haiti, Wangler readily agreed. They served as assistants to medical teams and were set to work turning plastic containers into diesel-fuel storage tanks for the Jeremie clinic.
Wangler and Hourihan found Jeremie to be relatively untouched by the earthquake, though it is a roughly 45-minute plane ride from the quake's epicenter slightly west of Port-au-Prince. But for relatively well-off U.S. residents, the poverty and generally low standard of living in the mountain villages was eye-opening.
"It was an overwhelming feeling," Wangler says. "These people need so much and yet they still gladly took in maybe 150,000 people who had nowhere to go after the earthquake."
The Haitian excursions were humbling for him as well, Hourihan says, making it hard to see his own circumstances as anything but fortunate and underscoring his determination not to let money become a ruling factor in his legal career.
Still, as managing member of the firm's Rochester office, Hourihan is mindful of the need to attend to business development.
Looking ahead to the next year or so, he muses: "We could easily put 35 lawyers in this building."

Sri Chinmoy's weightlifting defies belief. It doesn't seem possible to lift the weights he did, especially considering that his two-decade long weightlifting career only began at age 54. He made the impossible not only possible, but Chinmoy furthermore, suggests that we can do it too!
This is the uplifting message of Challenging Impossibility, a documentary that premiered at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival. Spiritual-master-turned-strongman Sri Chinmoy, who passed away in 2007, is shown lifting not just weights but aircraft, elephants, cars and a who's who of 20th Century luminaries including Nelson Mandela and Sting. By doing so, the Indian-born poet born again as powerlifter challenged impossibility itself.
When Sri Chinmoy lifts weights, "It's like gravity stops" says former Olympic sprinter Carl Lewis, a personal friend of the weightlifting guru. And gravity indeed is denied when Sri Chinmoy lifts a 2000-pound car on film. How can such feats of strength be possible? The answer is "all in the mind", according to five-time Canada's Strongest Man and documentary cast-member Hugo Girard, who credits Sri Chinmoy with helping him to realise that powerlifting is first and foremost internal. "You get to the place where it doesn't matter how much something weighs, it's going to move. If you think how much it weighs, you're going to fail."
All in the mind, and in the heart and soul as well, for as Sri Chinmoy explained, the capacity he drew upon to literally raise the impossible is deep within us all, able to be accessed through the powers of concentration and meditation. "Many, many things I have done which my physical mind cannot believe" he explained. "But then again, when I concentrate, I am not afraid of it. When I am one with it, I act like a hero."
"It's been very motivational for me," three-time Mr Olympia Frank Zane commented on the documentary, himself a pro body-builder who has merged meditation with weight-training since the age of 14. "You know, there are times in your training when you don't feel like doing it, then you just look at what he's doing and you're in again."
Challenging Impossibility co-director Sanjay Rawal, a student of the weightlifting meditation teacher for 16 years, said his ultimate wish in making the film was to share Sri Chinmoy's personal example of challenging the impossible. "The one thing that I learned from him is to never give up. There's no such thing as an impossible dream."

Here's a stache look at two riders endured to the Brotherhood; Urs Freuler & Lech Piasecki ...in the 1989 Giro d'Italia.
Swiss stache sprinter, Urs Freuler collected another stage victory in his huge Giro hat. After his first victory on stage 7, he came back and nudged first year pro, Mario 'Soon to be called Lion King' Cipollini to win his second stage. Amazingly, this will become Freuler's 15th Giro stage win. For Cipo, he never wore a stache but he deserves honorable Giro mention of a record 42 stage wins.
Lech Piasecki, the stache TT specialist won 3 stages, including two time trials. On the last stage, a time trial to Florence, he proceeded to clobber the favorites with his solo power. Notably, he beat out Greg Lemond, by a minute. We all know what happened in the following Tour.

Sometimes the Universe gives writers
gifts that are just too irresistible. Six months ago, as I was
contemplating whether to write another Crazy Old Lady book, I came
across an article on the internet about a fabulously beautiful
theater with perfect acoustics buried four stories underground in
Boston. I started doing searches on it and was amazed at what I
Steinert Hall, four stories under Tremont Street |
As I was doing these searches I found a
couple other stories of interest. One, of course, was about the 1849
murder of Doctor George Parkman at Harvard Medical School. Not only
was he murdered there but his body was chopped up into pieces and
hidden in various locations around the building.
The murder of Dr. Parkman by Dr. Webster, 1849 |
Another story involved one Captain
Grunchy, a privateer licensed by the King of England to intercept and
plunder French ships. During his plundering, Captain Grunchy took 4
beautifully carved angels captive and carried them through the
tunnels from his ship to Old North Church in Boston where you can
still see them today.
Captain Grunchy's Angels, Old North Church, Boston |
These three stories were just so
delicious I had to find a way to build my story around them and for
the past six months that is what I have been trying to do. It has
been slow going at times but it has also been tremendous fun. Over
the weekend I wrote the big climactic scene and now it is just a
matter of wrapping everything up. I hope to have this book ready for
re-writes within a week and then I can begin the process of massaging
everything into place so it all fits together.
I suppose there is a case to be made
that we find what we go looking for and when I went looking for
interesting legends/stories based in Boston, I found them but
sometimes I think it is a little more magical than that. I've always
believed that there is an alternate universe filled with fictional
characters who are in search of someone willing to write down their
stories. I try to leave myself open to that when I write.
Fenway Artist's Studios, Boston |
This story is full of "Boston."
There is an art gallery in a fabulous mansion on Commonwealth Avenue,
GrammyLou's mysterious townhouse now under new ownership, and a long
ago murder in the legendary Fenway Studios. I am having a great time
now that history, legends, and story are finally coming together. I
hope my readers will enjoy The Crazy Old Lady's Secret!
Thanks for reading.

Apple's new iPad has had its fair share of problems, and it appears another one might need to be added to the list.
An increasing number of new iPad owners have been complaining on Apple's forums about trouble connecting to 3G networks from their tablet. Based on the growing thread, the issue appears to be widespread across Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia. Only a few people in the U.S. have said that the device is having trouble connecting to 3G.
"When I travel with my iPad, e.g. taking it on a train, it loses its mobile data connection despite showing a strong signal," one forum poster wrote today in Apple's forums. "Toggling settings does not fix it (turning mobile data and/or Wi-Fi on or off, or even temporarily enabling airplane mode). The only way I have found to re-establish mobile data is to turn the iPad off the on again (powering it off fully by holding down the power button then swiping)."
Apple blog AppleInsider was first to report on this story.
Numerous forum posters have also made the same attempts to address the problem. It's not clear whether the trouble is software or hardware related.
Apple's new iPad has been suffering from a host of issues since its launch last month. The device's 4G LTE support was causing some owners to complain of overheating -- a problem quickly debunked by both Apple and device testers, though the device does run warmer than its predecessor. Just yesterday, Apple blog 9to5Mac reported that Apple is currently looking into an issue with the device's wireless connection experiencing "intermittent connectivity...slow Wi-Fi speeds...[and] Wi-Fi network not seen."
That Wi-Fi issue has been such a problem for users that back in March, OS X Daily released a workaround requiring users to reestablish a connection to a wireless network. If that didn't work, it suggested users reset the device's network settings.
Apple did not immediately respond to CNET's request for comment on the apparent 3G issue.

Mount Kailash (also Mount Kailas; Kangrinboqê or Gang Rinpoche (Tibetan: གངས་རིན་པོ་ཆེ) (Sanskrit: कैलासः) (Kailāsaḥ) is a peak in the Kailash Range (Gangdisê Mountains), which forms part of the Transhimalaya in Tibet. It lies near the source of some of the longest rivers in Asia: the Indus River, the Sutlej River (a major tributary of the Indus River), the Brahmaputra River, and the Karnali River (a tributary of the River Ganga). It is considered a sacred place in four religions: Bön, Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. The mountain lies near Lake Manasarovar and Lake Rakshastal in Tibet Autonomous Region, China.
The mountain is known as either Kailāśa (कैलाश) or Kailāsa (कैलास) in Sanskrit.[1][2] The name may be derived from the word kelāsa (केलास), which means "crystal".[3] In his Tibetan-English dictionary, Chandra (1902: p. 32) identifies the entry for 'kai la sha' (Wylie: kai la sha) which is a loan word from Sanskrit 'kailāśa' (Devanagari: कैलाश).[4]
The Tibetan name for the mountain is Gangs Rin-po-che. Gangs or Kang is the Tibetan word for snow peak analogous to alp or himal; rinpoche is an honorific meaning "precious one" so the combined term can be translated "precious jewel of snows".
- "Tibetan Buddhists call it Kangri Rinpoche; 'Precious Snow Mountain'. Bon texts have many names: Water's Flower, Mountain of Sea Water, Nine Stacked Swastika Mountain. For Hindus, it is the home of the mountain god Shiva and a symbol of his power symbol om; for Jains it is where their first leader was enlightened; for Buddhists, the navel of the universe; and for adherents of Bon, the abode of the sky goddess Sipaimen."[5]
Another local name for the mountain is Tisé mountain, which derives from ti tse in the Zhang-Zhung language, meaning "water peak" or "river peak", connoting the mountain's status as the source of the mythical Lion, Horse, Peacock and Elephant Rivers, and in fact the Indus, Yarlung Tsangpo/Dihang/Brahmaputra, Karnali and Sutlej all begin in the Kailash-Lake Manasarovar region.[6]
Religious significance[edit]
In Hinduism[edit]
According to Hinduism, Lord Shiva, the Destroyer [of evil], resides at the summit of a legendary mountain named Kailāśa, where he sits in a state of perpetual meditation along with his wife Pārvatī. He is at once the Lord of Yoga and therefore the ultimate renunciate ascetic, yet he is also the divine master of Tantra.[7]
According to Charles Allen, one description in the Vishnu Purana of the mountain states that its four faces are made of crystal, ruby, gold, and lapis lazuli.[8] It is a pillar of the world and is located at the heart of six mountain ranges symbolizing a lotus.[8]
In Jainism[edit]
In Jainism, Kailash is also known as Meru Parvat or Sumeru. Ashtapada, the mountain next to Mt. Kailash, is the site where the first Jain Tirthankara, Rishabhadeva, attained Nirvana/moksa (liberation).[9]
In Buddhism[edit]
Tantric Buddhists believe that Mount Kailash is the home of the Buddha Demchok (also known as Demchog or Chakrasamvara),[10] who represents supreme bliss.
There are numerous sites in the region associated with Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), whose tantric practices in holy sites around Tibet are credited with finally establishing Buddhism as the main religion of the country in the 7th–8th century AD.[11]
It is said that Milarepa (c. 1052 – c. 1135 AD), champion of Tantric Buddhism, arrived in Tibet to challenge Naro Bön-chung, champion of the Bön religion of Tibet. The two magicians engaged in a terrifying sorcerers' battle, but neither was able to gain a decisive advantage. Finally, it was agreed that whoever could reach the summit of Kailash most rapidly would be the victor. While Naro Bön-chung sat on a magic drum and soared up the slope, Milarepa's followers were dumbfounded to see him sitting still and meditating. Yet when Naro Bön-chung was nearly at the top, Milarepa suddenly moved into action and overtook him by riding on the rays of the Sun, thus winning the contest. He did, however, fling a handful of snow on to the top of a nearby mountain, since known as Bönri, bequeathing it to the Bönpo and thereby ensuring continued Bönpo connections with the region.[12][13][14]
In Bön[edit]
The Bön, a religion native to Tibet, maintain that the entire mystical region and the nine-story Swastika Mountain are the seat of all spiritual power.
Every year, thousands make a pilgrimage to Kailash, following a tradition going back thousands of years. Pilgrims of several religions believe that circumambulating Mount Kailash on foot is a holy ritual that will bring good fortune. The peregrination is made in a clockwise direction by Hindus and Buddhists. Followers of the Jain and Bönpo religions circumambulate the mountain in a counterclockwise direction. The path around Mount Kailash is 52 km (32 mi) long.
Some pilgrims believe that the entire walk around Kailash should be made in a single day, which is not considered an easy task. A person in good shape walking fast would take perhaps 15 hours to complete the 52 km trek. Some of the devout do accomplish this feat, little daunted by the uneven terrain, altitude sickness and harsh conditions faced in the process. Indeed, other pilgrims venture a much more demanding regimen, performing body-length prostrations over the entire length of the circumambulation: The pilgrim bends down, kneels, prostrates full-length, makes a mark with his fingers, rises to his knees, prays, and then crawls forward on hands and knees to the mark made by his/her fingers before repeating the process. It requires at least four weeks of physical endurance to perform the circumambulation while following this regimen. The mountain is located in a particularly remote and inhospitable area of the Tibetan Himalayas. A few modern amenities, such as benches, resting places and refreshment kiosks, exist to aid the pilgrims in their devotions. According to all religions that revere the mountain, setting foot on its slopes is a dire sin. It is a popular belief that the stairways on Mount Kailash lead to heaven.
Following the political and border disturbances across the Chinese-Indian boundary, pilgrimage to the legendary abode of Shiva was stopped from 1954 to 1978. Thereafter, a limited number of Indian pilgrims have been allowed to visit the place, under the supervision of the Chinese and Indian governments either by a lengthy and hazardous trek over the Himalayan terrain, travel by land from Kathmandu or from Lhasa where flights from Kathmandu are available to Lhasa and thereafter travel over the great Tibetan plateau by car. The journey takes four night stops, finally arriving at Darchen at elevation of 4,600 m (15,100 ft), small outpost that swells with pilgrims at certain times of year. Despite its minimal infrastructure, modest guest houses are available for foreign pilgrims, whereas Tibetan pilgrims generally sleep in their own tents. A small regional medical center serving far-western Tibet and funded by the Swiss Ngari Korsum Foundation was built here in 1997.
Walking around the mountain—a part of its official park—has to be done on foot, pony or yak, taking some three days of trekking starting from a height of around 15,000 ft (4,600 m) past the Tarboche (flagpole) to cross the Drölma pass 18,200 ft (5,500 m), and encamping for two nights en route. First, near the meadow of Dirapuk gompa, some 2 to 3 km (1.2 to 1.9 mi) before the pass and second, after crossing the pass and going downhill as far as possible (viewing Gauri Kund in the distance).
The region around Mount Kailash and the Indus headwaters area is typified by wide scale faulting of metamorphosed late Cretaceous to mid Cenozoic sedimentary rocks which have been intruded by igneous Cenozoic granitic rocks. Mt. Kailash appears to be a metasedimentary roof pendant supported by a massive granite base. The Cenozoic rocks represent offshore marine limestones deposited before subduction of the Tethys oceanic crust. These sediments were deposited on the southern margin of the Asia block during subduction of the Tethys oceanic crust prior to the collision between the Indian and Asian continents.[15][16]
In 1926, Hugh Ruttledge studied the north face, which he estimated was 6,000 ft (1,800 m) high and "utterly unclimbable"[17] and thought about an ascent of the northeast ridge, but he ran out of time. Ruttledge had been exploring the area with Colonel R. C. Wilson, who was on the other side of the mountain with his Sherpa named Tseten. According to Wilson, Tseten told Wilson, "'Sahib, we can climb that!' ... as he too saw that this [the SE ridge] represented a feasible route to the summit."[18] Further excerpts from Wilson's article in the Alpine Journal (vol. 40, 1928) show that he was serious about climbing Kailash, but he also ran out of time. Herbert Tichy was in the area in 1936, attempting to climb Gurla Mandhata. When he asked one of the Garpons of Ngari whether Kailash was climbable, the Garpon replied, "Only a man entirely free of sin could climb Kailash. And he wouldn't have to actually scale the sheer walls of ice to do it – he'd just turn himself into a bird and fly to the summit."[19] Reinhold Messner was given the opportunity by the Chinese government to climb in the mid-1980s but he declined.[20]
In 2001 the Chinese gave permission for a Spanish team to climb the peak, but in the face of international disapproval the Chinese decided to ban all attempts to climb the mountain.[21] Reinhold Messner, condemned the Spanish plans said "If we conquer this mountain, then we conquer something in people's souls....I would suggest they go and climb something a little harder. Kailas is not so high and not so hard."[22]

Experimental: The study population
The study population consists of patients for whom an echo-guided fine-needle aspiration was performed for one or more thyroid nodes, and for whom surgical node excision is required.
Other: Elastography
A conventional thyroid echography performed before a the time of fine needle aspiration will include elastographic measurements for each node under study.
Detailed Description:
Ultrasound is considered the first line examination in the exploration of the thyroid nodule. Echotexture analysis often identifies nodules at risk of malignancy, but does not replace or exclude an additional cytological exploration. Cytology, although effective, also has limitations, particularly when samples are vesicular and it is difficult discern between a benign or malignant state. The creation of a noninvasive method in this context could help to avoid invasive tests or "useless" surgical procedures.
Ultrasound elastography, which assesses tissue deformability, may provide valuable information concerning benign soft tissue characteristics, whereas malignant lesions are harder in consistency. Interest in this method, already proposed for other organs, has recently increased due to the emergence of specifically created software that enables objective evaluation of the hardness of the nodule during a conventional ultrasound analysis. The main hypothesis of this study is that elastography should allow better selection of candidates for thyroid surgery.

Don't Forget Fixed WiMax
October 07, 2005
Of course mobile WiMax (802.16e) will overtake fixed wireless but not until around 2010, says analyst.
Although mobile WiMax has captured most of the headlines, and a series of trials by mobile carriers highlights the future of wireless broadband, fixed WiMax remains the technologys bread and butter through 2009, according to a report from Visant Strategies.
While 802.16e, the mobile WiMax standard, could reportedly be ratified as early as the end of the month, the market for cable modem and digital subscriber line replacement is expanding today, while WiMax in the mobile network remains two to four years away, says Andy Fuertes, author of the Visant report entitled 802.16 / WiMax Assessment of Fixed and Mobile Opportunities.
By 2010, WiMax (both mobile and fixed) will comprise half of a $3.4 billion worldwide annual broadband equipment market, according to the report. With the current five million member wireless broadband audience expected to increase 40 percent yearly through 2010, WiMax vendors will be perfectly poised to take advantage of this building market, writes Fuertes.
Ratification and certification of mobile WiMax doesnt equate to quick adoption by carriers, according to Fuertes. Certified mobile WiMax equipment will arrive during or after 2007, and mobile carriers typically test new technologies from 12 months to 18 months before implementing them throughout the network, he says.
The first round of certification of 3.5GHz gear should be complete by November or December, according to the WiMax Forum.
Most importantly, it is unlikely that you will see any major contracts for mobile WiMax prior to 2008-2009, Fuertes says. Fixed services are happening now, and those are vital revenues for startup and existing broadband wireless access vendors.
Mobile Providers Make PlansNortel recently announced a mid-2006 trial of WiMax that doesnt require full mobility. The agreement, with Airspan Networks, revolves around eliminating T1 and DSL backhaul connections. Nortel and Airspan arent strangers. In 2003, Nortel sold its fixed wireless business to Airspan for $12.9 million.
Airspan recently announced a WiMax trial in three Italian regions around Piedmont and Sicily. The trial is intended to demonstrate that Airspan customers can upgrade from fixed to mobile WiMax.
Sprint Nextel also announced a similar test of 802.16e with Samsung. The lab and field trials will validate requirements for future wireless offerings, according to Barry West, Sprints chief technology officer.
Samsung has said it expects to be the first to pilot 802.16e services later this year. The company plans a Korean commercial launch of WiBro services that region's version of WiMax early next year.
Earlier this year, Nortel announced it would also develop WiMax products with South Koreas LG Electronics. The team recently won a contract to deliver wireless multimedia to South Koreas urban centers.
Sprint plans a similar trial of 802.16e with Motorola. The carrier expects to test a number of broadband technologies, including UMTS-TD CDMA and Flash OFDM.
We are evaluating multiple options for 2.5 GHz applications, says West.
AT&T has also announced plans to conducts WiMax tests. The first, in Middletown, New Jersey, concentrates on data transfer; a second trial will focus on VoIP.
Verizon said earlier this month that it has no plans to deploy WiMax, according to an Associated Press article. A Verizon spokesperson called WiMax a step beyond a twinkle in an engineers eye.
Luring Money with MobilityWiMax vendors are using mobility to lure investors, according to Fuertes. Vendors have to talk mobility for funding and visibility while they secure DSL replacement contracts for revenue, he says.
While mobility is on the lips of carriers, available spectrum could limit any introduction. Mobility is not permitted in all spectrum, says the analyst. Although the main spectrum available for WiMax is 3.5 GHz, which is more suited to fixed installations, the economics of mobility become very challenging once you go above 3 GHz, he says.
Once mobile WiMax is available, there's likely to be a confusing mix of services. Some carriers will use mobile spectrum to replace DSL and cable backhaul, while other carriers with 3.5 GHz spectrum will deploy both fixed and portable services, according to Fuertes.
Dangers await vendors who concentrate too greatly on mobility, warns the analyst. Startups who focus only on the mobile opportunity could burn through their funding before mobile WiMax becomes a reality, Fuertes says.
Marketing WiMax as an imminent mobile platform now runs the risk of discrediting the technology later, he says; just look at WCDMA, or 3G.
Several years after hyping WCDMA as the broadband answer for consumers and a revenue wonder for carriers, the gap between WCDMA reality and the WCDMA bubble has damaged the standing of the platform, according to the analyst.
WiMax could face the same reality and could be discredited, he believes. Such a blow could hurt WiMax more than it has WCDMA. No one has to deploy WiMax, and there is plenty of competition in the fixed and mobile spaces, he says.
What happens to the demarcation line between fixed and mobile WiMax after 2010? We believe that the lines between fixed and mobile gear will blur, says Fuertes. 802.16e will quickly eclipse 802.16.2004 products, due to improved performance.
What does the future hold for mobile WiMax? Once the mobile contracts happen, they will be far larger than the fixed market -- but its going to take some time, he says.

The new Definitive StudioMonitor series is the culmination of over 20 years of research and development to create monitor-quality shelf speakers with the perfect balance of high style, utility and most of all performance.The Most Advanced Technologies for the Most Advanced Performance
If you love great sound you must experience Definitive's StudioMonitor 65. Its combination of racetrack bass radiator technology, and our latest generation patented Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) bass/midrange drivers, all housed in a rock-solid attractive enclosure, delivers unsurpassed sonic performance.
Each SM 65 features a D'Appolito array consisting of two cast-basket 5-1/4" (13cm) second generation BDSS midrange drivers surrounding a 1" (25mm) pure aluminum dome tweeter. The drivers feature Definitive's patented Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) technology that supports the speaker cone at both the inner and outer edges allowing longer, more linear excursion for greater clarity and finely textured inner detail. A new patent pending Linear Response Waveguide™ smoothes off-axis frequency response and disperses sound over a wider area for crystal clear intelligibility for every listener in the room. The tweeter is a pure aluminum dome, which has been heat-treated to relax the crystal structure and then coated with a ceramic to produce extended highs that reveal nuance and shimmer without a trace of edginess.
The twin BDSS long-throw bass/midrange drivers are pressure coupled to a top mounted racetrack bass radiator to extend and amplify bass frequencies. The total bass radiating area of a SM65 is equivalent to a single 12-inch woofer but with far greater control, definition and speed than a single sluggish large woofer. The StudioMonitor's bass performance is nothing short of astonishing in its depth, detail and musicality.
Slim Elegant Styling with Rambo-Like Brawn
All the driver and crossover technology in the world would be wasted if housed in a resonance-prone box. We devoted as much Design and Engineering attention to the styling and construction of the StudioMonitor 65's enclosure as any other part of its design.
The specially shaped high gloss baffle around the drivers and the tapered enclosure sides enhance sound quality by minimizing diffraction distortion. The decorative high gloss grille and cabinet accents add elegance to the matte black tower the way satin piping adds dash to a tuxedo.
But the enclosure's most important job is to be totally inert and resonance free so as not to color the sound. And that's just we did in engineering the SM enclosures. Internal MDF cross braces further stiffen the system. Tap on the side panel of a StudioMonitor 65 enclosure to hear the solid "thud" of a solid, well-damped cabinet instead of the hollow ring of a poorly constructed speaker.
Phase-Coherent Crossover Networks
The crossover network is the real heart of a loudspeaker as it is responsible for perfectly blending together the sound of the various drivers into a musically seamless whole. The sophisticated design used in the SM65 features premium audiophile-grade components such as oversized inductors, Mylar capacitors for linear phase and frequency response. An integrated Zobel network flattens the impedance of the system so that even budget amplifiers will be able to drive the SM65 (although a premium amplifier will bring out all the performance this remarkable speaker has to offer). This preserves the phase coherence, transient response and dynamic integrity of the signal for absolutely lifelike music and home theater reproduction in your home.
The Proof is in the Listening
This extraordinary speaker sets a new reference standard for high-accuracy loudspeakers in its class and achieves equally superb performance with both music and movies. The StudioMonitor 65 reproduces a silky smooth, incredibly detailed sonic image at lifelike volume levels with a sense of ease which is truly remarkable. Movies and music are reproduced with unequaled purity, transparency and lifelike realism.
Now that you're thoroughly impressed with the technology and passion we've poured into the StudioMonitor 65 it is time to find a stocking dealer near you to audition this remarkable achievement of art and science.

by Staff Writer / Buffalo SabresLeft To Right: Music In Action Creative Director- Bob James; Sabres Managing Partner- Larry Quinn; Music Is Art Founder- Robby Takac of The Goo Goo Dolls |
Music in Action is a full-year training program at the Performing Arts Academy, which focuses on a mix of music business skills and leadership teamwork.
Founded by Robby Takac of the Goo Goo Dolls, the program has been widely applauded around the country for its educational efforts in the field of music and youth development.
Music is Art was the creation of a privately funded organization dedicated to keeping the Arts in education alive in Buffalo Public Schools through financial and material donations, mentoring and instruction from the private sector.
It is a commonly recognized concept that Arts in an educational setting improves learning ability, concentration, as well as aids in dexterity and reasoning skills.
"Music Is Art has evolved from an idea in my head to something that is truly a benefit to the Buffalo students," said Takac. "This grant from the Sabres will go along way towards making this program a success."
Music is Art believes that no one should be denied his or her musical voice, and that as a person, a community and as a culture it is our need, responsibility, and obligation to pass along our history and language to those who follow.
These beliefs go hand-in-hand with the Buffalo Sabres Foundation's commitment to assisting worthwhile organizations that make this region a better place to live and work.
Established in 1995 and reinvigorated in 2004 following the acquisition of the Buffalo Sabres by owner B. Thomas Golisano, the Buffalo Sabres Foundation strives to help enhance the quality of life in the Western New York region.
The foundation focus' on initiatives directed at child health and wellness with specific dedication to the underprivileged and handicapped, and assists non-profit organizations who provide vital services to those in need.
Since 2004, the Buffalo Sabres Foundation has made numerous grants totaling over $200,000 to worthwhile Western New York organizations, including $100,000 gift to Buffalo's Women's and Children's Hospital; a $30,000 grant to Hasek's Heros; and a $15,000 grant to SABAH.

The issue of steroids and HGH in professional sports is again making headlines across the sporting world, and on August 11th, 2013, the Sun Sentinel published an article on steroids and HGH abuse in Florida HIGH SCHOOLS.
Baseball, Football, Basketball, and yes, even lacrosse, were all noted as sports where kids were taking steroids or HGH. The article noted the high costs of testing, and very few solutions were offered. In the end, consensus seemed to be that something had to be done, but what that was exactly? It is hard to say.
So we want to hear from you on the issue of Steroids and HGH. We're not looking for you to out anyone, or anything like that, but we do want to hear if you think it's an issue.
Have you seen it? Do you know it's an issue? What can be done? Should anything be done? If it's too costly to test, is there a solution available? We know our readers can think creatively, so we're extremely interested to hear what you guys think! Maybe there is a grand solution out there after all…

ok..NOW I'm glad I ordered a white and bronze G1 on top of my black one so I can get this puppy on the white one.
OK will the normal market and stuff still work?...hmm is it like applying an update to an already rooted phone. Just throw in on the sd card and "alt s" away you go?
anyone try this yet...i was reading on the other forum and they closed it because they said it was incomplete...
At this point I would shy away from using this untill the original author which i beleive is Haykuro releases it
hmm thats pretty rad...all i know is in the XDA forums they closed the thread cause not enough info was presented...I just now upgraded to the Google Ion Rom...have not had a chance to play with it yet but i will...
I'm loving this one! I'll try to update on whats new, whats cool and so forth after I play around with it.
You'll need a rooted phone. Then just put the file into the SD card, rename it "update" and do the manual update steps. Okay... After having it for a day or so I'll let you know whats new, fun, not so fun and so forth. This is a beta release so a few things arn't working like the "Personalize" feature found in the Settings, not exactly sure what it does really but I think you can switch the UI up a bit kind of like the UI shown in the picture above with the large clock or the normal Android Interface that we all know. The color scheme is different, its based around black now and goes a lot better with my black G1 and thats a plus for me. The Calendar, Music Player and Messaging have all new looks and look wonderful. Tons better then before. Its not like they just threw them in like old versions. It now has Social Network stuff for Twitter, FaceBook and Flickr. I don't have any of those accounts so I'm not exactly sure what they do, I'm sure there will be Apps for those specific things in the future. The transaction effect is better then the slide that has been around, now it zooms in and out which look a ton nicer and its a lot faster. Actually the whole system seems faster to me, but of course I don't have everything installed as I had. When you let the screen shut off and press menu you still get the Carrier, time, date and whatever else box but instead of a black screen or just the wallpaper behind it, you get whatever you where doing behind it. So if your in messages the box will just appear over that screen. So that speeds things up by a couple seconds. It now lets you know how many voicemails you have that haven't been heard yet in the Notification bar and when you pull it down. The browser is now full screen and has a few UI changes, if you haven't seen the Hero demo videos check those out, it shows what it looks like. Love the little green bar on the bottom with the white dots floating left. In messages you can now have quick text. That means it already has a few written sentences you can send if your driving or whatever. Of course you can add your own and so forth. Tons of new little things and I'm sure more will be added. But thats just a few I found and so far I'm liking it.
oh k so i dont need anything special just need to update my g1 like i would normal do with an ota update?
lol i would like to know that answer to that question to also if i dont like it how would i go back to cupcake?
I think I may just want the wallpapers that come with Rosie more than anything else I need to be rooted to use THIS Rosie update, correct? I am on cupcake. Could someone list what i am missing with Rosie, please?
you would just find a build of cupcake (eg. jf's hykro, or the officail build) and flash this on ------------------------------------------------- http://herog3.wicholandia.com/download.php?list.10 <<< is this Hykro's offical relase
just got hero beta 4 XD looks really good just wondering what does the H in the netwrok stand for is it 3g?
Looks like the offical release is available.. Haykuros hero Offical Release: HTC Hero G3 Rom: Downloads / Offical Release Install Instructions: *Download Paragon and create the ext2 partition. (How to create partition here) *Copy the update and the app_s to your root sd card. *Wipe phone Alt+w and then Alt+S to update. *Let it boot and open the command prompt run-cmd now enter as follow adb shell su cp /sdcard/app_s.zip /system/sd cd /system/sd unzip app_s.zip if you type in everything right the files should start to copy. Let it finish and once is done type reboot You should know have the sexy Rossie Few Screen Shots aswell...

text: (February 11, 2007) SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - The members of Lambda Pi Eta decided to take it upon themselves and find out more about the newest Communication professor. Assembling an extensive list of questions, they decided to ask her the serious questions plaguing the backs of their minds. The Questions and Answers: Full Name: Kathleen Marie Warber (nickname: Katie) Hometown: Grand Rapids, MI Siblings: I'm the baby. I have an older brother, Chris, and older sister, Beth. Pets: I (currently) have three dogs; Murphy, Buddy, and Pearl. I love animals. I had all kinds growing up…dogs, rabbits, hamsters, birds, fish, and even frogs. I have a boyfriend too, Mike…does he count? Favorite Color: Red…really, anything in the red family (from pink to burgundy). Favorite Food: This is strange, but I really like eggs (OK…and bacon!). Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day for sure. Currently though, I am hooked on the American Idol Limited Edition "Take the Cake" ice-cream by Dreyer's (you may know it as Edy's). It is the best ice cream you will ever eat! P.S. I have "food phases." Favorite Band/Type of Music: Pink Floyd/Roger Waters. I like all types of music though. Favorite Book: Do textbooks count? I honestly can't remember the last book I read for fun. I'm really not much of a "pleasure reader" though. I prefer TV and movies. Favorite Movie: Hmmm…I don't really have a lot of "favorites" of anything I guess. I do like Mean Girls a lot though. Favorite Sport & team (to watch): I like college football best, I think. I would have to say that the Michigan State Spartans are my favorite team to watch. I like the whole experience of the day-long tailgate and gathering with friends. I am excited to get back to the Midwest where there is actually fall weather. One of the things I have missed most while in Arizona is the autumn season. I love the changing leaves, the smell of leaves burning, the brisk air, and fall sweaters! One thing you can't get enough of: Reality TV; January begins American Idolseason!!! I am a huge fan of the genre of adolescent reality TV… Laguna Beach,My Super Sweet 16, The Hills, etc. all top the list. One pet peeve: Well, I am really clean and organized. So, messiness kind of drives me nuts. Can you speak another language: Some Spanish. It's ironic that I've been living in the Southwest for the last 7 years and haven't used it more. Dream Vacation: I am a nature-girl. I like the water, woods, beach, and mountains. So, I imagine some type of camping trip on a mountainous shore-line somewhere. Oh yeah, I like warm weather, so this dream vacation would be somewhere with low humidity, sunny skies, and temperatures hovering around 80 degrees… (Am I moving to Ohio? I think I moved from Michigan to get out of the cold. Hmmm…Wittenberg must really be a great place to sacrifice the 350 days of sunshine and warmth we get here in Tucson!) One thing you want to do before you die: OK, this questionnaire makes me seem really boring. I don't really have any big ambitions either. I would like to travel a bit more than I do now, but other than that… Biggest Fear: I am not a fan of physical pain at all. Otherwise, no really big fears to speak of (unless of courses they are imbedded somewhere in my subconscious) Three adjectives to describe yourself: feisty, motivated, & giving. Pop or soda?: This is tough. As a native Michigander, of course I was raised a "pop" girl. However, since my move to Arizona, I have converted to "soda." I wonder if I will switch back when I move again. Which does Ohio adhere to??? Also, what are people from Ohio called… "Ohioans?" Dogs or cats?: Dogs for sure…I am deathly allergic to cats! McDonalds or Burger King?: McDonalds…I hope their fries are still as good when they switch to trans-fat-free frying oil! Coffee or tea?: Venti soy no-water 7-pump chai-tea latte. (NOTE: I am painfully aware that there is not a Starbucks in Springfield. This could literally be a deal-breaker in my having to live in Dayton…pathetic, I know). Honestly though, I consume both equally; coffee in the morning, hot tea at night. Thing you are most excited about Wittenberg: Passing the light!

Oh, what a beautiful 'Oklahoma!'
With "Oklahoma!," Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II elevated the American musical to an art form. They also created a classic of unquestioned durability: On any given day, at least two productions of the 1943 show can be found somewhere in the United States.
Whether or not you've ever seen "Oklahoma!," now's the time to lasso tickets for Musical Theatre West's current production at Carpenter Center – one of the best stagings of the landmark musical you'll ever have the good fortune to see and a thrilling reminder of the heights truly great musical theater can reach.
It isn't just that acclaimed Broadway musical theater star Davis Gaines makes his Los Angeles-area directorial debut, Lee Martino's choreography dazzles the eye or Dennis Castellano provides definitive musical direction.
At Carpenter, the source material is elemental and powerful, the songs and Rodgers' score are as timeless and Hammerstein's book is as sassy and cheeky as ever. Rarely has "Oklahoma!" been as funny, charming or tender.
It's 1907, and the Oklahoma Territory is about to become the 46th state. At the story's heart is the budding romance between Laurey Williams (Madison Claire Parks), who lives and helps out on her aunt's farm, and cowboy Curly McLain (Bryant Martin).
It's obvious to all that Laurey loves the handsome champion bulldogger and cattle-roper, but the pretty, independent young lady's pride is at stake, so she toys with him. That gives false hope to brooding farmhand Jud Fry (Christopher Newell), who works for Aunt Eller but is romantically fixated on Laurey.
Gaines' staging steadily builds the mounting three-way tension between Curly, Laurey and Jud: First with the half-jesting, half-serious tone of Curly's visit to Jud's squalid quarters, then with Martino's handling of the classic "Dream Ballet."
Martino's dark, surreally terrifying staging expresses raw emotions. Enchantment surrounds Dream Laurey and Dream Curley (dancers Katya Preiser and Steve Ewing) – until Jud appears. Laurey is plunged into a lurid netherworld, and when Curly comes to her rescue, Jud chokes the life out of him.
The play's darker elements are, of course, balanced by the presence of Saundra McClain's blunt, no-nonsense Aunt Eller and the lighthearted interplay of happy-go-lucky cowboy Will Parker (Luke Hawkins), his flirtatious, on-again, off-again lady love, Ado Annie (Teya Patt), and Ali Hakim (Amin El Gamal), a traveling salesman who promises the moon to any girl foolish enough to indulge him in a one-night romp.
High hilarity is generated via Annie's blustering dad Andrew (Stephen Reynolds) bullying Ali into marrying his daughter, while Will and Ali's haggling over a satchel full of trinkets is pure vaudeville.
Nearly every musical number is a highlight. The Act One duet "People Will Say We're in Love" lovingly expresses Laurey and Curly's mutual attraction, and its Act Two reprise reinforces that the lyrics aren't mere platitudes, the cute couple's teasing and feuding further proof that they're madly in love.
"Surrey With the Fringe on Top" is delicately evocative, "Many a New Day" is a lovely mixture of fanciful dance, play-acting and melodic song, and the rousing title song creates an exciting climax through the stirring vocals and often gorgeous harmonies of the entire cast.
Parks' Laurey is at once level-headed, sharp-tongued, wistful, sharp-witted and defiant. Her lovely, classically trained soprano expresses Laurey's longing and delivers deeply expressive vocals.
While Curly is cheerful, brave and indeed handsome, he's also the salt of the earth and no pretty boy. A winning leading man, Martin has a breezy manner but also shows Curly's tough inner strength, making him cocky yet extremely likable. Packed with emotion, his tenor vocals perfectly complement Parks' singing.
Newell is a young, darkly handsome, fiercely macho Jud, his vocals for "Lonely Room" ably capturing Jud's moodiness. Jud grows increasingly menacing, but thanks to Newell's performance, the character never devolves into a stock melodramatic villain.
McClain is a grouchy, earthy Aunt Eller. An agile, limber dancer, Hawkins paints a dense yet good-hearted, morally upright Will. Patt is a buxom, nasally voiced Ado Annie. El Gamal is a pleasingly youthful Ali with a singsong Middle Eastern accent and glib, seductive manner. Reynolds' Andrew is an ornery, gravelly voiced old cuss. All five are superb, exhibiting surefire comic timing.
The 12-man, 12-woman chorus looks and sounds great and enacts the lively bounce of Martino's athletic yet graceful dance steps. Jessica Olson's period costume designs mesh a 19th century frontier feeling with the frillier touches of 20th century civilization.
Anthony Ward's generally stylized scenic designs, beautifully lit by Jean-Yves Tessier, create the sense of a fable and contribute to a memorable production that fittingly celebrates the show's 70th anniversary.

GAMING NEWSUnmitigated Rumor: Freddy vs. Jason in Mortal Kombat this HalloweenPosted on Tuesday, April 19 @ 13:34:55 PST by Blake_Morse
I heard it from Bitbag, who heard it from a guy in the UK that Mortal Kombat is going all out to try and get some of the most well known IPs out there to test their might in the arena. Currently the rumor is circulating that classic horror staples Freddy Kruger and Jason Vorhees will be made into DLC for the Halloween holiday season. Right now there's nothing more to say about it than that. But as long as we're just throwing stuff out there, how about Ash from the Evil Dead films, or maybe give the 360 some love like you did with the PS3 and Kratos and throw someone from the Gears of War franchise in there? How about Cole Train? As it stands there's only one black guy (Maybe two, Nicks says that Cyrax may have been black before becoming a robot) in the MK universe. [Source] |
