Old foe Germano opens for Bisons
Last year, Justin Germano was the Opening Day starter for the Pawtucket Red Sox and picked up the first win of the season against the Buffalo Bisons.
On Thursday, he will be in a Bisons uniform. Manager Marty Brown named Germano the Opening Day starter when against the Rochester Red Wings at 2:05 p.m. at Coca-Cola Field.
"That's probably more [interesting] for you," Germano said Tuesday afternoon as the Bisons held their first workouts in Buffalo. "I'm with a new team every year, so I'm kind of used to that. … It's always an honor to get that first start out there and to try and get the season off right. Everything just falls into place after that but to being able to get that Opening Day is a good start."
Germano was signed by the Toronto Blue Jays in the offseason. In 2012, he started with Pawtucket and earned a spot on the International League All-Star Team. He went 9-4 with a 2.40 ERA with Pawtucket in 17 games, 16 of them starts.
But Germano didn't make the trip to Buffalo. He was called up to Boston before the game, and pitched one game for the Red Sox before being traded to the Chicago Cubs. He went 2-10 with a 6.75 ERA in 13 games for the Cubs, with 12 starts.
His most memorable outing came for Columbus when he threw a perfect game on July 26, 2011, the fifth perfect game in International League history.
The 30-year-old Germano was pleased with his spring training, noting that he was able to work on different pitches without regard to the count or situation.
"I thought it went well. Number-wise, it probably wasn't where I wanted to be, but I got some good work in," Germano said. "I got some things done I wanted to before the season started.
"It's just consistency. Keeping the ball down. Getting the off-speed pitches where I want them. Just little things like that. I was throwing pitches in spring training that I wouldn't necessarily throw in certain counts during the regular season, but I wanted to get that work in. I went into it thinking I was going to work on specific things regardless of what the count or situation was. I needed to get it out of the way before the season started."
Germano has a 10-30 career Major League record for five teams. In Triple-A, he is 48-36 with a 3.61 ERA.
And while the goal is to get back to the big leagues, his experience is going to be a boost for the Herd.
"He didn't have a great spring as a veteran-type guy but he mixed his four pitches," Brown said. "He knows how to throw strikes. … Justin is the type of guy who has been through it before. … I know he's motivated to come to the park every day. His motivation is to get back to the big leagues but I think him coming to the park every day with his veteran status, even though he's not an old player but he's been through Triple-A before. He knows how to pitch and I think he's motivated to get back to the big leagues."
The starting rotation for the Herd was also announced Tuesday. Ramon Ortiz, who went 13-6 with a 3.45 ERA with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last year, will start Friday. The series moves to Rochester for Saturday and Sunday with Claudio Bargans and Dave Bush scheduled to start. Todd Redmond will be the fifth starter, getting the nod for the April 9 game in Buffalo against Syracuse.
It's a pitching staff that Germano is excited to be a part of.
"We have some guys who have been around and have some experience out there," Germano said. "I don't think anyone is really going to overpower anybody but being able to throw strikes is a big part of this game. We've got that good defense behind us and that's going to win some ball games."
P.J. Walters is scheduled to start for Rochester. The 28-year-old will be making his second straight Opening Day start for the Red Wings, having thrown four shutout innings last year against Syracuse. Walters went 3-3 with a 4.01 ERA in 14 starts for Rochester last season.
In Bisons roster news, infielder Adam Loewen was promoted to the Herd from Double-A New Hampshire after Toronto traded Lars Anderson to the Chicago White Sox on Monday. Loewen, 28, played 59 games with the Bisons last season and hit .227 (47-207) with 10 doubles, eight home runs and 26 runs batted in. He missed 61 games on the disabled list with a stress fracture in his right foot.

Could Microsoft be making more money from Android phones than from its own moribund Windows Phone platform? It's quite possible. According to Citi analyst, Walter Pritchard, Microsoft is making $5 from every Android phone that HTC sells. As an Android fan, if that doesn't make your blood boil, I don't know what would. Basically, all the effort that Android developers, members of the OHA, and the Android community put into growing the Android ecosystem, indirectly ends up helping Microsoft fund Windows Phone. How ridiculous is that?
As you might know, Microsoft has been claiming that Android infringes on the company's intellectual property. As a result of this, HTC and Microsoft signed a deal last year that allowed HTC to keep making Android phones, but it'd have to pay Microsoft a royalty for every device sold.
After that first successful deal with HTC, Microsoft started going after several other Android manufacturers. Including Motorola, and more recently Barnes & Noble. However, Microsoft hasn't been that lucky after that first deal with HTC. Both Motorola and Barnes & Noble have put their foot on the ground, and even gone on the offensive against Microsoft.
Ballmer and Co. are taking advantage of the fact that Google doesn't have a lot of patents in mobile technology, since the company is fairly new to that sector. But Google is not standing still, the company is in the process of buying Nortel's patent portfolio. Which they specifically said would be used against those who threaten Google and the partners that support Android.
According to the same Citi analyst, Microsoft is currently asking Android manufacturers for $7.50 to $12.50 per device sold. If that seems high to you, that's because it is. Barnes & Noble recently mentioned that Microsoft is asking for some "shockingly high" fees, and that the fee is actually "higher than what Microsoft charges for a license to its entire operating system designed for mobile devices, Windows Phone 7″.
With Microsoft possibly making more money from Android than from Windows Phone 7, they might as well give up on improving Windows Phone and throw all their effort behind suing Android manufacturers. I bet the legal department at Microsoft would love that. Microsoft the patent troll, yeah, that sounds about right.
UPDATE: According to Asymco, HTC has sold around 30 million Android phones, which means that Microsoft has made close to $150 million from Android. Compare that to the 2 million Windows Phone licenses that the company has sold for $15, which would result in $30 million in revenue. Yep, Microsoft is making five times more from Android than from Windows Phone. Like Horace Dediu from Asymco says: "Google's Android seems the best thing that could have happened to Microsoft's mobile efforts, ever."

While the U.S.-China squabbles over Chinese copyright infringement had been making international headlines until a recent settlement, Arab film producers were wondering when the U.S. is going to clean up its own act.
The Egyptian Film Producers' Union complains that virtually all Arabic movies in vid release in the states are stolen, and that the U.S. is the world's worst offender in piracy of Arabic-lingo films.
Most of the piracy is centered in such cities as New York, Detroit and Los Angeles, which have large Arab immigrant communities.
Losses may be small potatoes compared with the near $1 billion Washington claims is lost by American companies each year in China due to piracy of movies, music and computer software. But it's still a heavy helping to Arab filmmakers who say they are watching their potential royalties disappear at the hands of vid buccaneers in the U.S.
The film producers' union says that total annual losses to vid pirates in the U.S. are impossible to calculate, but it estimates that each pirated film loses between $150,000 and $300,000 in potential legit U.S. vid sales – substantial coin when the current average cost of producing an Egyptian film is about $300,000.
If the union's estimates are correct, they would easily translate into tens of millions of dollars in piracy losses considering that Egypt's 60-year-old film industry has made up to 100 titles a year. Even today, many old movies with such now-deceased Arab film stars and Anwar Wagdi, Farid el Atrash, and the legendary Egyptian songstress Oum Kalsoum remian perennial faves among Arabic-speaking auds.
Egyptian producer Youssef Francis said that on a recent visit to L.A. he found all eight of his films on sale in Arabic specialty vid shops – and all pirated.
Film producers have complained to the American embassy in Cairo about the theft, but apparently to little avail.
"We tell them to hire an American copyright lawyer," said a U.S. diplomat.
"I don't have the time or money to pursue this problem through (U.S.) legal channels by myself," Francis complained, "and neither does any other Egyptian film producer."
"The Americans are anxious to protect their own interests, but they don't seem to care a damn about anybody else's," said producer-distributor Yossri Ashmawi, head of Cairo's Karnak Intl. Films.

Information For
Mission and Values > Vincentian Studies Institute > Publications
The series began in 1996, and to date includes:
The Vincentian Family Tree, by Betty Ann McNeil, D.C., (Chicago: Vincentian Studies Institute, 1996), 255 pp. Traces in exact detail the "genealogical" roots of the entire Vincentian Family worldwide. An enormous undertaking, Sr. McNeil has been widely praised for the groundbreaking nature of her work. A remarkable resource for those who wish to study this complex history.
Jean-Baptiste Étienne and the Vincentian Revival, authored by Edward Udovic, C.M., (Chicago: Vincentian Studies Institute, 2001), 350 pp. This work looks at the pivotal and controversial role of Jean-Baptiste Étienne (14th superior general) in the remarkable Vincentian revival following the chaos and destruction of the French Revolution and Napoleonic eras. Robert P. Maloney, C.M., praised this fascinating study "for helping us grow in insight into this complex man's thoughts and actions."
Frontier Missionary, Felix de Andreis, C.M., 1778-1820, Correspondence and Historical Writings, by John Rybolt, C.M. (Chicago: Vincentian Studies Institute, 2005), 508 pp. A comprehensive collection of the letters and writings of De Andreis documenting his thoughts and actions on the mission, and ultimately his long journey from Italy to America, and across the vast frontier to St. Louis. This publication marked the introduction of a new graphic look for the series with a glossy full-color cover and numerous illustrations and maps throughout.
Sister Rosalie Rendu: A Daughter of Charity on Fire with Love for the Poor, by Louise Sullivan, D.C. (Chicago: DePaul University, Vincentian Studies Institute, 2007). This most recent monograph is the first definitive biography of Sister Rosalie Rendu. In 19th century Paris, her works of charity in the infamous Mouffetard district for those who were poor, her works to benefit women and children, her tireless efforts during the cholera epidemic and along the barricades during times of revolution, and, of course, her collaboration with Frédéric Ozanam, earned Sister Rosalie the gratitude of an entire nation. This book celebrates Sister Rosalie's life, works, and ultimately her beatification on 9 November 2003.
All of these monographs are available through the Vincentian Heritage Department, found at the Bookstore linked to this page.
The Vincentian Studies Institute welcomes the opportunity of reviewing proposals for future monographs in this series. We would ask that you contact us for further details.

No matter how intriguing the show you're watching, or the game you're playing is, if your television set is lacking on some vital departments, then the overall enjoyment will be quite low.
This is why having the right television set can dynamically change the way you enjoy your pastime. As with the age of technology, every device within our vicinity is connected to the internet – and the television is no different.
With the new line of "Smart TVs" that have emerged, you are now able to add internet connectivity to your televisions, allowing you to stream your favorite shows using services like Netflix without the hassles of any additional devices.
All you need is a stable internet connection, and your Smart TV will give you an awe-inspiring watching experience the likes of which you may have never seen before.
The one thing that kept people away from these Smart TVs is the massive price they had; it made it so only those who were truly passionate about having luxurious experiences could afford it.
Now however, that has completely changed. With newer technology being produced, and thus the cost of the previous one being reduced drastically, the prices of Smart TVs have seen a decrease, making it highly affordable and quite mainstream.
As expected of Smart-TVs you are provided with advantages that would be impossible otherwise. This means higher picture quality, up to 4K being streamed directly from the internet, giving you a spotless experience. Usually, however, you will find that 1080P is the common standard that most people go by.
Smart TVs are available in various sizes. They can start near 20 inches – and can go all the way to almost 75 or 80 inches; size, budget and personal preference will play a part in choosing the size for you, meaning there's something for everyone.
Based on the Smart TV you get, you will have a different set of applications installed. It's a good practice to check on a company before purchasing their Smart TV so you have a clear understanding of the product you're buying.
The price of a Smart TV ranges based on brand, size and functionality; and thus, understanding what lies within your budget is the first step towards selecting a product. That said however, the decreased prices are definitely going to attract more people towards this novel invention, and fundamentally change the way we watch television forever!

Select Loan Amount
We compare loans that can be paid back over terms of between 1 and 25 years. The APR interest rate you'll be charged depends on your personal circumstances, and will be between 3.2% and 99.9%. This is a representative example of what it may cost : a Loan of £7,500 over 60 months at 3.3% APR would equate to monthly repayments of £135.60, and the total cost of the loan that you pay back would be £8,136.22
Cash can be a necessity, especially, when your finances are under strain. The stress of bad credit can often place a serious strain too. Oyster Loan is a reliable and regulated loan broker based in the UK and working for the financial stability of its customers. We can easily and quickly make you come over your financial stress by searching flexible deals on short term loans in the UK. These loans are designed especially for the people who are going through the hell of bad credit ratings.
We are a committed short term loan broker in the UK, offering assistance during the time of financial instability. Whenever you are in doubt over your credit history, or need quick credit, contact us. Besides the bad credit short term loans, we also have the expertise in the short term loans for unemployed.
Having bad credit can be a financial nightmare, especially during those times when you need cash for an unexpected emergency. Oyster Loan has the expertise in bringing out the best deal on short term loans for bad credit people, to assist you with financial difficulties, and more importantly make life easier for you and your family.
Oyster Loan is based in the heart of the UK, and committed to being easily accessible to the financial needs of our customers. We are focused on finding our customers the right short term loan for them. Whether it is short term loans for poor credit people or short term loans for the unemployed, we keep our customers happy and satisfied.
Bad credit is not a problem for us, and we are going to make it sure that it is also not the problem for you. A bad credit score or bad credit history could prevent you from having access to credit, but definitely not with us. At Oyster Loan, we truly understand that bad credit ratings are not always a true reflection of your financial condition. We find the best lender for you, who approve your application and make sure that you will receive your money on the same day.
Of course due to no fault of your own you may end up with bad credit scores. Just at that time a financial emergency pops up and you are running amuck looking for bad credit loans. If you are expecting that a lender or a loan broker like us will not look at your credit history then you are sadly mistaken because the FCA does not permit loans to be provided without a credit check. However, as a reputable loan broker we are associated with many non-traditional lenders who look at the main factor of your ability to repay the loan. Hence if you are able to convince us and the lender that you will be able to repay the loan in time then although you may not get short term loans no credit check, we can always help you find a lender who will look at your ability to repay the loan even if you have bad credit.
Many loan applicants are actually tired of being credit checked so often and also do not want to wait for their loans to be approved and disbursed. However short term loans for bad credit, are a reality especially if you approach a good loan broker like Oyster Loan. These special loans may have a high interest rate, but they can come in really handy in case you are facing a financial difficulty. At the same time, if you repay the loan on time it will have a positive impact on your credit score. Short term loans can be of two types – the ones which have to be repaid as a single lump sum and the others which have to be repaid in instalments. We as responsible brokers help you to decide which type of loan you should take keeping your financial condition and circumstances in mind.
Oyster Loans is a licensed LOAN BROKER and not a lender. The website is registered in the UK and is authorised and regulated by the FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY (FCA). WARNING: Late repayment can cause you serious money problems. For more information, go to MONEYADVICESERVICE.ORG.UK.
Oyster Loans does not charge any fees. If you are contacted by anyone claiming to be from Oyster Loans and requesting you to make a payment, report it to www.actionfraud.police.uk.
All Loan approvals & Quotes are subject to Credit Score and Affordability requirements by lenders. If you meet the lender's criterion, you can borrow the money. We as a broker make an attempt to process your application with the most suitable lenders in our panel.
Collections Process
Contact your lender directly if you have any worries about making your re-payment. If you do not endeavour to do so you will be unable to arrange any payment options and where the situation remains unresolved (where you have not re-paid your loan), the lender can exercise their right to pass your details onto a third party collections agency. This agency will then work to recover your unpaid arrears (plus any interest accrued as a result of your non-payment).
Implications of Non-Payment
By not making your short-term loan re-payment on time, you could be subject to fees and penalties, which will be implemented at the discretion of your individual lender. The details of any charges that can be added to your loan re-payment amount will be detailed within your loan agreement and this will include the reasons why further charges may be added. If you are late in making your payment this could also have a negative impact on your credit score. Therefore, in order to avoid having to re-pay more than your original agreed amount, we suggest that you re-pay your loan on time. If you fear that you will experience difficulty in paying back what you owe, please contact your lender as soon as possible.
Late Payment
Where you feel that you will not be able to meet your re-payment date and will need to make your payment at a later time – you must contact your lender to arrange this. If you do not, it could be assumed that you are unwilling to re-pay your loan and therefore you could incur a higher fee or charge than you would otherwise have done by simply extending your loan term. A late payment fee usually amounts to anywhere between £1 and £100 and this will vary dependent upon your lender. However, we do not advocate the unnecessary extension of short-term loans and as a result we ask that you ensure that you will be able to re-pay any loan that you apply for. For more information, please read and understand the terms and conditions associated with your loan agreement.
Renewal Policy
We do not advocate the renewal of short-term loans however, in the instance that you wish to do so you must contact your lender immediately. You will often be charged the same rate of interest or fees for an extra month however; this will be charged on the full amount that you owe to the creditor (amount borrowed plus first month's interest). If you are late in making your loan re- payment or you fail to make the re-payment at all, your loan may be automatically rolled over thus automatically incurring further interest and charges. Any amount that you have borrowed you will be liable to re-pay so, please make sure that you only take out a loan if you can afford to pay it back in full.

Dear Admins, When I run a simulation with nanowire with hot carrier configuration and assuming built in structure with the following model details: 1) Solve Energy balance —> Yes 2) Carrier Statistics —> Boltzmann
Pls note that I turn off all the mobility related models and hence I use just a constant mobility.
I get two warning as follows 1) Old vsat param used, vsat model set to constant! 53 2) 600 doped semiconductor nodes disconnected from electrodes.
what exactly do they signify? does it means that the results are invalid?

Sorry for being OT, just wanted to extend my thought of the last post-2.0-offtopic discussion: Modularize. Defining an interface for 'video storage' thingys, together with the ability to have several storages loaded at the same time, would allow to have plain old /video storage and (maybe as plugin) remote network storages. It would also allow to have more than one local storage. (Maybe a storage backend that read/writes AVI or MKV?) And if the old, ugly symlink system gets dropped, it could even be continued by a compatibility plugin. There are tons of more possibilities here, but we should delay that to post-2.0.

Ok, I'm learning Java and other related stuff.. properly... but the most annoying thing is by far..
Compared to cout (in C++) and printf (in C).. I mean 'System.out.println()' just to print something on the screen is waaaaay to long a command. Granted, IDE's such as Eclipse allow you to type 'syso Ctrl+Space' to get the command but it is still more than the number of keyboard presses than cout or printf ....
Java :\
Is India Really a Cricket Crazy Nation?
As I walked past Forum mall in B'lore one afternoon I couldn't help but notice a man wearing a Mumbai Indians T-Shirt that had a picture of Sachin Tendulkar with the caption 'God is with us'. Well of course Sachin is God, for this is India after all Cricket is a religion here.
Everybody seems to know everything about Cricket, be it the latest stats, gossip and even the technicalities of how the Duckworth-Louis system works. Many a time I've seen people discussing how a bowler bowled a full toss and lost the match, or a batsman got "LBW'ed" in such an amateaurish way etc etc.
Once a friend of mine took a Cricket ball out of his bag (he was in the college cricket team) and some of the responses were:
Random Chap 1: Aren't cricket balls white in colour?
Random Chap 2: (Picking it up) Shit man, this is hard. It can break the bones in your body
Random Chap 3: Dai, be careful. Don't abdomen guards spread AIDS (o.O)
And these are the folks that comment about every ball that is bowled, every wicket every taken and every decision made by a captain. But the truth of the matter is that they have no clue what they are talking about. Out of the 100% of cricket fans in the country, only about 3-5 % would have ever played with a cricket ball EVER! And that makes the game into something completely different(Trust me, I played cricket with a CRICKET BALL for 6 years) than when played in the gully with a measly Rs.20/- tennis ball. When a batsmens wear the pads, gloves and helmet his entire body physics changes. Bowling with the Cricket ball is as different as bowling with a tennis ball as a stock market is different form your vegetable market.
India isn't a Cricket crazy nation, it only THINKS it is.

Seconded, although I haven't personally been that frustrated about that bit :) Anyway, I'm cutting a lot of your plan here with just saying it sounds fine to me. However, I think the overdue version 4.4 should really be released before going wild with implementing the new plans in CVS (or alternatively, do the new work on a branch). I'm not aware of any release blockers at the moment, do you remember any? Regarding link checker future, I'd personally actually prefer redesigning/rewriting much of the current code rather than continuing too long with the current implementation. The script is quite a monster already and requires quite intimate knowledge to maintain/contribute to - cleaner codebase and proper separation of concerns would make many things much easier and could attract more contributors. And perhaps while at it, consider changing the implementation to e.g. Java or Python. This is obviously quite a bit of work to which I cannot currently commit too much time at the moment, but I thought I'd throw it in just for some food for thought.Received on Thursday, 1 January 2009 21:54:15 UTC

Following in the footsteps of their Bangladeshi competitors, India saw local prices heat up once again as the currency began to settle and steel plate prices made some comparatively impressive gains during the course of the week.
Consequently, a number of interesting market sales were concluded, not least, the handysize bulker AL AMAL (6,333 LDT) which fetched an incredible USD 422/LT LDT, albeit with 220 T bunkers on board at the time of delivery. Up until last week, prices on smaller bulkers, reefers, general cargo vessels and tweens were still stuck below USD 400s/LT LDT.
Another interesting move saw the Norwegian controlled roro VIBEKE (10,650 LDT), with over 2,000 T solid concrete permanent ballast, sold for guaranteed green recycling for eventual resale into India, at a firm USD 400/LT LDT 'as is' Labuan with about 225 Tons of bunkers remaining on board upon delivery.
With the Rupee trading back down into the Rs. 61-62 to the U.S. Dollar as currency analysts predict a steadier end to the year, coupled with improvements on the steel prices by over Rs. 500, it could be a bullish end to the final quarter of the year, in what has proven to be a fraught and turbulent 2013 for local buyers thus far.

The Conqueror Worms
Brian Keene
(2006 Leisure Books/Dorchester Publishing. Read more about the author and the
novel here.
So......okay, Brian, I started reading this on a rainy day, just like you
suggested, and, by the time I was finished, there was sun in the sky.
that's very unlike The Conqueror Worms, because in it the rain never
stops. Imagine that. Well, I guess, in this book you can more
than imagine........

Back to the top
But before I
get into all that, let's get into the blah blah blah, and I mean that very
respectfully: firstly, Brian is an established ace at writing what he
writes. I'd rather not pat him too much on the back for fear the
swelling redness between his shoulder blades may make him wince in pain from
all the countless other pats. He's got a plethora of notches under his
literary belt and is one of today's outstanding voices in horror fiction.
Two Stokers, an impressive body of work in few enough years to more than
rival authors with twice as much longevity in the business....Keene is head
and shoulders above his breed to date and there's no reason to believe he
won't become a household name in time. That's the blah blah blah.
Conqueror Worms is the first novel I'd read of his, and as for my
assessment of it, here goes:
A man
growing older in years and wrestling with a serious nicotine fit writes an
account of his last days, from his personal point of view and exploits, of
course, but these may likely be the last days of Mankind also. It
seems that God has broken His promise to Noah that He'd destroy the Earth
with water never ever again, and globally it's now rained constantly for
more than forty days and nights, all it took to cover the world with H20 the
first time, biblically. And this time, in this
like Dante's Waterworld. (If I had the
money, I'd open up a water theme park and call it just that, team up with
Brian to make it something abysmally special.....)
Though clearly here there is no such thing as dry land, land does
exist and it is the world's coastal areas that lie under a sea swallowing
more of it each day. Now, we all know earthworms emerge from the earth
when it rains. The rich, juicy element of genius in this book, in my
opinion, is Keene's core idea: if it rains and the rain forces
earthworms from the ground, then what will it force from out of the ground
if it rained long enough?
In the lore of mankind's history, we imagine we get closer to hell the
deeper into the earth we look. Brian looks deep into the earth.
And like a magician pulling the obvious from out of a top hat, we get from
the earth's inner reaches not merely earthworms but colossal carnivorous
ones that make the sand worms of Herbert's Dune look like timid
giants and these are their terrestrial progeny experiencing their terrible
Very War of the Worlds, as Keene himself remarks in his narrative
halfway through, and I was thinking along those lines myself though also
more precisely Wyndham's Day of the Triffids. And there's a
very nifty second act, where the author takes us away for awhile from the
earthworm situation and introduces us to a new set of characters under
similar circumstances, but where Satanist surfers, seductive mermaids
and Lovecraftian underworld lords take the reader into a wild ride.
Though I prefer its original title (The Earthworm Gods), The
Conqueror Worms is a staple for those who readily consume contemporary
horror fiction, particularly, as Brian insists, to be read on a rainy day.
You're Dead Already....Living in Hell
Jake Istre
(2006 Diverse Media.) Read more about the author & book
First, before you read any
further, allow me to divert you towards my first review of Kristy Tallman's
works, aka Rainey Moon, by clicking
Now we can proceed…….
And what have
we here, but a novel-length version of her short novella I enjoyed so much!
Tallman's Detective Cole is like a fish out of water in a backwoods
I'm doing this review mostly to spread the word. After all, I published
Jake Istre's You're Dead Already…..Living in Hell myself with my Diverse
Media press. But I did that for a reason: Jake deserves to be heard, and
the guy's a damn talented poet, a "street poet" by my own coined term for
him. He writes raw, off the top of his head, as the mood
town immersed in what on the surface seems to be an unnaturally mysterious
CSI-type investigation…….though with a swig or two of specially-concocted
North Mountain moonshine given to him by a surreal hillbilly-man with
seductive young daughters and all hell to hand out, Cole finds himself
digging deeper into the murders surrounding a rural area where the
supernatural dwells and death itself hosts an otherwise very festive ghostly
event called The All Soul's Faire.
respectfully, I'd like to coin Kristy's first official novel as a Tall-tale,
if you will, (Tallman----get it?) because essentially that's what it is,
though its focus is not on a hero like you'd think at first (Cole) but on
Cecil Hicks, a despicably dark villain whose moonshine and inevitable
invitation to the Faire forces Cole to face his innermost dark desires. If
not for the help of a kindly old lady intimately involved with it all, will
Cole face eternal damnation?
I was
right when I determined early on that Kristy had enough literary talent to
eventually become great by my assessment of her poetry books alone. She's
advancing, and her storytelling skills combined with her drive to succeed in
this field astonishes me.
All-Soul's Fair is thoroughly and ultimately a read worth a weekend's
devotion, and you'll find that although the tale's simplistic at the start,
it takes you into darker and more complicated places like digging into the
caverns of a deep dark cave and finding riches that become more abundant the
deeper you go, like in Cole's journey, both outward and inward, and like
Kristy's mind itself……
………like the mind of a storyteller who will one day soon have us all swimming
in a moonshine sea concocted by a talented bestselling name.
him, and it comes out entertaining and with extreme feeling. This collection
of both poetry and very small stories makes for a as much a leisure reading
as a Dead Kennedy's tune makes for elevator music, this stuff is heavy and
heart-felt and vivid. It leaves you feeling that you are dead already and
living in hell, and that's precisely the point. And it reads like the
diaries of a rock star. Well put-together too, I might add.
A Yeast Chip to the Back of a Cockroach......and Hello! It's Corporal
Cockroach Reporting for Duty!" is one entry that practically says
it all, but "Standing Off the Back Porch, Pissing" and the
short-short tale "Fat Mama" are very memorable.
the official book description: Jake Istre--- Highly popular
underground cult writer and bassist, actor and high-end restaurant chef who
personally prepares meals for such celebrities as California Governor
Schwarzenegger; author of such acclaimed works of poetry as "Shocking Tales
of Murder & Insanity" and Sacramento's crowned resident "street poet."
Presented here are intense, explicit, raw and highly personal collected
prose and short stories mirroring a life's dark journey of experience,
angst, love and loss, drugs and twisted death and sex and high times lived
to the fullest. Do partake and enjoy. "One of the top 5 poets of 2005!"

Advanced Contingency Skills Training Day One — This is the first in a series from Airmen at the U.S. Air Force's Expeditionary Center who are attending various classes in order to prepare them for upcoming deployments. Staff Sgt. J.G. Buzanowski offers this post. Future posts will highlight the efforts Airmen are taking at this "schoolhouse" to prepare them. The Air Force and Airmen are in the fight — 70% deployed since 9-11, said the service's senior Airman. We'll post more here (photos and video too) from the various Airmen in the course.
"The hope is that you never have to use what we have to teach you."
And with that, the Advanced Contingency Skills Training course began for several hundred of us at Fort Dix, N.J., today.
What's significant is the mix of people in the class. There are several of us Public Affairs specialists, but we also have people from contracting, civil engineers and our squad leader is a flight doctor. Certainly not the high-speed fly-away security teams that train to go into combat areas to protect planes (those guys are training in the building next to ours — wow!).
But the Air Force has recognized the need for every Airman to get training when going downrange. There have been too many times when routine convoy missions became anything but because of roadside bombs or insurgent attacks.
They promise us that we'll be tired, we'll be sore and we'll learn to love the mud. But at the end of the course, we'll have gained skills to defend ourselves and others if we're out and about while we're deployed.
The great irony that they hope we'll never use the skills they impart doesn't make what they teach a waste of time and money. Rather, they share with us their own stories of when they were deployed. Like when one cadre member explained of his own recollections of being blown off the road in a convoy — yes, he's an Airman.
This cadre member also told us about the servicemember who saved his (cadre) life only to lose his own four days before he was about to leave.
Another instructor generalized his bevy of his 14 deployments. And he's traditionally an aerospace ground equipment mechanic.
So overall our instructors are here because they want to be here. "We want you to learn from our experiences," the instructors tell us. They certainly have a lot of it.
Our collective hope is that once we're no longer students, the instructors get their wish and we don't have to use these new or re-honed skills. But if we do need them, we've got them.

WIP: Dreadfleet, the Second - Part 1
One of the perks of being a commission painter is that you get to paint some things more than once. In this case - Dreadfleet!
The basic order was "Do it as you did before!" and I obey.
Of course it's not 100% the same because, and this is one of the greatest things about miniatures painting, no miniature ever looks exactly the same.
Some morels are still WIP like the Flaming Scimitar below. On all the capital ships the bases need a bit more work and the Scimitar needs the accompanying mermaids done.
Markers and islands on the other hand are 100% done. What's the most glaringly missing is the Heldenhammer at this point, the Swordfish and the Auxiliary Cogs which all are only primed.

Pixie's Prompt – three questions, 300 words.
Answer the 3 questions in 300 words or less, but giving reasoned answer.
1) An important person in your life: My Great Aunty May. Simply because she is an amazing woman. Strong minded, open, and clever. She has taught me some many things about being who I am. She is a feisty lady, who is farce and brave, even when she's not. But the thing I love about her the most is the fact she has been there every step of the way of my recovery. From hospital, to coming home, to remarrying and becoming a mum, she ha been there. Oh, and she can tell the boss man what to do!
2) A thing your life has in excess: Love, my life is full of love. Whether that is giving love, being loved, or feeling love. Some many different types of love. For friends, lovers, family, or my babies. I never thought it was possible to feel this much love and I'm a very blessed lady to have this amount of love in my life.
3) How you procrastinate: Well I don't really! No, I do, but I also must have a lot of structure in my days, or I feel very stressed and like I'm just waiting time. That would then make me panicky and anxious and no one wants that. I guess I do like Pinterest and twitter quite a lot. I also enjoy stripping down to my panties and a t-shirt, turning up the music and dancing round the kitchen. Also, a big fan of taking long baths and naps. But then I am also happy to spend the day writing or to clean for a few hours. For me life is about balance and priorities.
See i can write something in under 300 words!

On Friday, October 24, 2014 we had the privilege of hosting Rabbi Josh Weinberg, President of ARZA http://www.arza.org/ . At services that evening Rabbi Weinberg spoke eloquently about the indispensible work that ARZA does on behalf of the Reform Movement in Israel and the reasons why our votes in the upcoming World Zionist Organization elections are so important to Israel and to us. If you were unable to attend services that evening, you can listen to his words about ARZA and the elections
Or watch his full d'var Torah below
World Zionist Organization Elections
In 2015, American Jews have the opportunity to cast their vote for representation in the World Zionist Organization (WZO)- a body that influences policies and the distribution of funds in Israel. Reform Jewish values - equality, pluralism and peace – can be more effectively championed by the WZO, if the Reform Movement has strong representation .

Rabbi Weinberg will have much to share about the work of ARZA, the Reform Movement in Israel, and the upcoming World Zionist Congress Elections (for more information see the link below. ). He was ordained last November at the Hebrew Union College (HUC) in Jerusalem. Prior to entering HUC, in addition, to many other experiences, Rabbi Weinberg was a gifted teacher for Eisendrath International Experience High School in Israel, a phenomenal program offered for High School students to duplicate their high school academic schedule as well as have a deep and meaningful opportunity to explore Jewish Studies by learning Hebrew and history both in the classroom and by traveling all over Israel.

Enjoy the company of other Temple Beth-El members in a "daycation," departing at 11:00 am on Sunday, November 10, 2013 to Philadelphia. Going as a group of 15 or more allows us to arrange a guided tour of the fabulous American Jewish History Museum. After a visit lasting approximately 3 hours, we will go at about 4:30 p.m. to Zahav, an Israeli Restaurant that has become a premier dining spot in just a little over four years since it opened.
A recent reviewer wrote:
"No chef in the city is creating food as thrillingly personal and well-executed [...] His small plates at Zahav, meanwhile, are vivid, fresh, and inventive, whether it's a riff on Yemenite soup with braised turkey and baby turnips bathed in earthy fenugreek broth, or a nod to his Eastern European roots with house-smoked sable mounded atop fresh challah that oozes egg yolk when you take slice."
-- Philly.com
Going as a group affords us the opportunity to take advantage of the "small plates" style restaurant and expand the tasting selection.
Can you think of a better way to spend a late fall afternoon? We are arranging group transportation to leave from Temple Beth-El at 11:00 a.m. We will arrive at the museum at about 12:30 pm and then proceed to Zahav at about 4:30 pm. The exact times may need to be adjusted. The cost, including travel, admission to the museum and dinner is $82.00 for adults and $55.00 for children up to age 13.
If you would like to join us, reservations and payment are due as soon as possible. This will permit us to reserve the tour and restaurant as needed to guarantee our spot.
Hope you can join us!

PODCAST: Lawrence Jackson Discusses Biography of Black Author Chester Himes
In Lawrence Jackson's monumental biography, CHESTER B. HIMES, readers are introduced to one of the most prolific and underrated Black writers of the 20th century. Himes, who lived from 1909-1984, was the author of 17 novels and numerous short stories. Himes was a black literary realist who used fiction to honestly express the rage he felt at racism, despite the criticism of some of his contemporaries that his perspective was too bleak. It was his Harlem detective novels that paved the path for enduring financial success as two of those novels were made into movies in the 1970s, Cotton Comes to Harlem and Come Back Charleston Blue.
Lawrence P. Jackson is a Professor of English and History at Johns Hopkins University and also the author of RALPH ELLISON: Emergence of Genius.
PODCAST: Rodrigo Hasbun Examines Bolivia in Historical Novel AFFECTIONS
Rodrigo Hasbun's new novel, AFFECTIONS, is a historical novel loosely based on the lives of Hans Ertl, his wife and three daughters who immigrated to Bolivia from Germany shortly after world war 2.
Set against the backdrop of the both optimistic and violent 1950s and 1960s, Affections traces the Ertls's slow and inevitable breakdown through the various erratic trajectories of each family member: Hans's undertakings of colossal, foolhardy projects and his subsequent spectacular failures; his daughter Monika, heir to his adventurous spirit, who joins the Bolivian Marxist guerrillas and becomes known as "Che Guevara's avenger"; and his wife and two younger sisters left to pick up the pieces in their wake.
Rodrigo Hasbún is a Bolivian novelist living and working in Houston. In 2007, he was selected by the Hay Festival as one of the best Latin American writers under the age of thirty-nine for Bogotá39, and in 2010 he was named one of Granta's Best Young Spanish-Language Novelists. He is the author of a previous novel and a collection of short stories.

Review of Deji Bryce Olukotun novel AFTER THE FLARE: "Fascinating Blend of Science Fiction and Fantasy"
By Tim Chamberlain
In his latest novel AFTER THE FLARE, Deji Bryce Olukotun delivers a fascinating blend of science fiction and fantasy from a new point of view.
It's the near future, and massive solar flares have crippled North America, Europe and Asia. Not only does this cause massive disruption on the ground, but all satellites are in danger of crashing, including the manned International Space Station. Nigeria has the only functioning spaceport in the world, and they are scrambling to send a rescue mission to the ISS. Enter our hero, Kwesi Bracket, a displaced American NASA employee thrust into a whole new world in Nigeria.
Fans of plausible, near-future science fiction will enjoy Olukotun's many inventions which include the Geckophone (a moving, lizard-like phone that can crawl up on
the roof to charge in the sun), food-based security (it's Tuesday, so you have to eat a kola nut and blow through a straw to pass–it's complicated, and Olukotun does a much better explanation), and the future of currency–cowrie shells. It's the many little touches like these that make this story vibrant.
But it's not all just solid science fiction–from the beginning there are mysterious goings-on at the spaceport, and it soon becomes obvious that something beyond science is also somehow involved. Beyond that, the very real members of Boko Haram menace the entire situation, and the terrorists must be dealt with. Olukatun expertly brings all of these various elements together by the end.
The plot of AFTER THE FLARE itself is action movie-worthy, never keeping still for very long. But perhaps the most interesting parts of the book to me were the little asides on life and culture that weave a fascinating picture of Nigeria as it exists now, and how it would evolve in this solar flare ravaged future. The descriptions of the interactions of different local ethnic groups alone is instructive for someone like me that is mostly unfamiliar with the intricacies of Nigerian culture. Also, the fact that Bracket is American gives Olukotun a very natural way to get into these things–the American needs to know what's happening.
In the end, AFTER THE FLARE is a seriously satisfying journey through a dystopian future and Nigerian culture that keeps itself grounded with interestingly plausible tech and frighteningly real monsters. Any fans of classic sci-fi should enjoy this new entry that puts things in a setting not typically seen in this genre.
PODCAST: Interview With Chaitali Sen
I interviewed Chaitali Sen about her wonderful debut novel, THE PATHLESS SKY, live at KAZI on July 23. Enclosed is the recording of the interview. Here is a description of the book from Chaitali Sen's web site: In The Pathless Sky, Chaitali Sen conjures a world in which a nation's political turmoil, its secret history, and growing social unrest turn life into a fragile and capricious thing and love into a necessary refuge to be defended at all cost. A world, that is, not unlike the one we live in. John, a hapless young student with a potentially brilliant academic career ahead of him, and Mariam, a shy, preternaturally perceptive woman from the north, fall in love in college. Their early careers, their seemingly mismatched natures, and the alarming changes occurring in their country conspire to keep them apart for years….

RBC Wealth Management has promoted its former head of correspondent and advisor services to lead the firm's wealth consulting division.
In her new capacity, Catie Tobin will oversee the firm's operations providing advice in retirement, insurance, wealth strategies, wealth management, trusts and lending to its base of 1,900 advisors, RBC says. She most recently led RBC's CAS business, which provides full-service clearing, custody and execution services to independent broker dealers and RIA firms across the country.
Tobin replaces former wealth consulting division head Ward Ring, who is retiring after 35 years in the industry, according to the firm.
Ring first started his securities career in 1980 with Integrated Resources Equity and has since worked for firms such as FDI Securities, Equico Securities and Marquette Financial, according to FINRA records. Ring spent his last 13 years with RBC, the firm says.
RBC's Brett Thorne will fill Tobin's previous position as CAS head, the firm says. Thorne has been with RBC for nearly 20 years and previously served as chief operating officer of the unit, according to RBC.
The firm currently oversees roughly $273 billion in client assets with advisors in 200 locations across 41 states, an RBC spokeswoman says.
RBC recently lured a UBS advisor managing $300 million in client assets.

Erbanna Is the Line of Bags That Weed Smokers Don't Even Know How Badly They Need
Having an organized and stylish place to keep your weed that you can leave out in plain sight is an option any adult deserves.
I miss working in an office for all the wrong reasons.
I miss the free coffee, I miss the free toilet paper (oh come on, you do it too), I miss the pastries/fancy salad/cake that would magically make its way into the kitchen a few times a week. I miss copious hours of socializing bookended by some meetings attended and emails sent.
But more than anything lately, I miss getting dressed for work.
On most days now, if I'm going to work at the pet store (which don't get me wrong, I still love), I throw on some jeans, one of many black or striped tanks or tees, a pair of puke-colored Tom's (my "shop shoes" -- shoes I don't mind getting dog pee on), and my grimy crooked glasses that are indestructible. I need to wear clothes I can really use my body in, and not feel like I'm always tugging at or fixing in some way.
What is this "makeup" you speak of?
My hair is the only thing I give more than half a thought to lately. Since defeating dandruff (clarifying shampoo, tea tree oil, once a month sea-salt scalp scrub, and apple cider vinegar rinse -- it worked for me), and fearing a receding hairline, I've been wearing my wavy hair down lately, instead of wearing "The Bun of Unsexy." It's not much, but it's my sole stab at feeling pretty. Sometimes that doesn't even work.
Things get a little sloppier when I have my days off and I spend my days writing and procrastinating.
Yoga pants or if it's extra sweaty out, little terry cloth shorts I bought copious amounts of a few years ago. You may remember them from this post right here. Top with last night's tank top, and I'm ready to go.
What's a hairbrush?
I've tried to jazz up my work outfits with cute shirts and even skirts, but when I'm slinging 30-plus pound bags of dog food all day, my clothes have the unfortunate habit of tearing -- specifically around the "boobage region." My skirt-wearing at the pet store ended when I knelt down to clean up a puddle of pee and my skirt dredged through the sitting urine. So I defeatedly returned to the "Striped Tank Top of Sadness" and the "Functional Jeans of Dismay."
I wasn't always like this.
I used to shop with glee for cool clothes that would make me feel unique as I swished my way across my office lobby. I wore jewelry. I took pleasure in seeing my completed ensemble for the work day. I wore a real bra on a regular basis.
I used to wear shoes that had straps and heels and zippers and metal on them. Shoes that I didn't buy at Whole Foods.
I owned lipstick that wasn't three years old.
I must admit, at first this freedom to dress like I was at summer camp every day was great. I could roll out of bed 15 minutes before I had to leave the house, throw on whatever was stretchy and still have time to get my medium Americano, no room, at the coffee shop.
But lately I want more. I want to wear pretty clothes that I care if I spill my coffee on. I want there to be a relatively consistent difference between the clothes I wear to work, and the clothes I wear to yoga/sleep in. I want there to be powder on my makeup brushes, not dust. I'm in a rut.
I have no style.
I acknowledge that part of my problem is that I am a chronic, almost obsessive, "save it for good" person. I'll buy something I really like, then hide it away in my closet until the PERFECT time to wear it, thus being afraid to EVER wear it in case I do something to it.
I save my style for special occasions. "Special" being this bizarre otherworldly event that nothing on this green earth can ever live up to. It's really quite defeating.
I recently reached for a dress that I'd been saving for 2 WHOLE YEARS, an adorable little drop waist 1920's seersucker summer dress I found at a thrift store in San Diego. As I slipped it on, I imagined myself entering the party my husband and I were attending and demurely catching the approving glances of other stylishly dressed individuals.
The damn thing didn't fit anymore. It might as well have been a seersucker muumuu. I'm not going to lie, I cried.
Since then, I've been silently plotting my return to daily style. "Silently" being the operative word.
I know, "Just do it Louise, and quit your bitching!" But combine the ability to obsess and fixate on the most trivial things, with a deep-seated perfectionist mentality, and you have a woman who has built up her personal style into this treacherous mountain -- fraught with judgment and naysayers -- that she is afraid to climb.
Try as I might to motivate myself to actually put together an outfit, I have taken no action. Every time I'm clicking through my old favorite shopping sites (I don't even know where to shop in O'ahu. Anybody have any ideas? Anybody?), I find myself dissuading myself from buying cute clothes because they aren't "practical" or I start thinking "Where am I going to wear that?"
EVERYTHING DOESN'T NEED TO BE PRACTICAL LOUISE! AREN'T YOU THE WOMAN WHO BOUGHT THE NEON COLORED GEISHA GIRL PRINT DRESS WITH THE ENORMOUS PURPLE CRINOLINE BECAUSE YOU WERE GOING TO JAPAN FOR A WEEK?!? (By the way, neon dresses with Geisha Girl faces printed all over them don't go over all that well in rural Japan, just FYI.)
There has to be a happy medium! Functional doesn't have to be boring! Stop dressing like you've given up, Louise!
Somewhere along the way I equated "feeling pretty" with "being wasteful," but upon further examination what's so wasteful about making yourself feel good?
There is something about the image you present to the world that is very closely tied to your self-esteem. I'd like to think my demeanor is that of a confident, witty, creative adult woman, but I have a feeling my appearance says, "I hope I pass the midterm" more than "I can helm this project."
I miss lace and pencil skirts and the occasional ruffle and boning and patterns and animal prints and polka dots and stitching and things that aren't all-cotton-all-the-time and buttons and sparkle and detailing and clothes that require hangers.
I think I'm actually looking for excuses NOT to wear exciting clothes. "It's too hard, it's too expensive, you're too busy, who are you trying to impress?" are the constants in my clothes choosing barricade. If I don't try, I can't fail and I get to continue complaining.
Fashion is supposed to be fun, right?
So I turn to you, stylish, beautiful, savvy xoJane readers: HELP.
Have you ever been in a style rut? Have you ever felt that your job precluded looking the way you wanted to in your mind's eye? Has utilitarian clothing ever overtaken your wardrobe? How did you overcome it? How did you find a way to take joy in getting dressed again? What ways have you found to feel pretty, even if your job doesn't necessarily call for it?
Have you ever had a fear of fashion?
Please advise me!
When you have some advice, you can find me at Target, buying my 100th $7.99 "Favorite Tee." Heeeeeeeeeeeelp.

Published Document
On December 2, 2009, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") (f/k/a National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act") [1] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[2] a proposed rule change to adopt NASD Rule 2770 (Disclosure of Price in Selling Agreements) as FINRA Rule 5160 in the consolidated FINRA rulebook without material change. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on December 22, 2009.[3] The Commission received no comments on the proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change.
The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities association.[4] In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,[5] which requires, among other things, that FINRA rules be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
The Commission believes that the proposed rule change is appropriate to assure the integrity of the public offering process. The Commission notes that new FINRA Rule 5160 will continue to require that selling syndicate agreements or selling group agreements [6] set forth the price at which securities are to be sold to the public or the formula by which such price can be ascertained and state clearly to whom and under what circumstances concessions, if any, may be allowed. The Commission also notes that FINRA is adopting NASD Rule 2770 into the consolidated FINRA rulebook as FINRA Rule 5160 with a new title, but without material change.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,[7] that the proposed rule change (SR-FINRA-2009-086) be, and it hereby is, approved.Start Signature
For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.[8]

Get info about Roanoke Chowan laboratory technician jobs, registering in a technical degree program, and taking tests for free online. Nursing is one of the fastest-growing job areas, and for good reason. As the population ages, medical care will continue to expand. If you study laboratory technology, for example, there are a variety of concentrations that may appeal to you such as nurse assisting, lab internships, or vocational rehabilitation. Check with the nursing department for an updated schedule of classes, registration deadlines, and a list of laboratory technician job requirements. Due to advances in health care, there is a growing skill-shortage of lab technicians, and of qualified medical personnel in general. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Roanoke Chowan.
Medical laboratory technicians collect samples and perform tests to analyze body fluids, tissue, and other substances. An entry-level job for lab technologists usually requires a bachelors degree in medical technology or life sciences. Medical lab technicians (lab techs), on the other hand, need only an accredited associate's degree program in clinical laboratory science. Coursework emphasizes laboratory skills, including safety procedures and lab management. Medical lab technicians can obtain a general certification as a medical laboratory technician, or a certification in a specialty, such as cytotechnology or medical biology.
Employment of medical lab techs is projected to grow 16% in the coming years. An increase in the aging population is expected to lead to a greater need to diagnose medical conditions, such as cancer or type II diabetes. Average salary for clinical laboratory technicians was $50,550 in May 2015, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

What: "Four Actors in Search of a Moment"
When: 9 p.m., Friday, Saturday and Feb. 22-23
Where: The Fallout Arts Initiative Co-op Studios, 2601 S. Second Ave, Minneapolis
Cost: $12-15
Fallout Arts is getting the full aural treatment. Endless amounts of noise have been reverberating inside the space this week: the howl of orangutans, the scurrying stutter step of squirrels and a three-piece band named The Poor Nobody's underscoring it all. Sound chaotic? That's because it is, and it's only a warmup in an average rehearsal of "Four Actors in Search of a Moment."
The ensemble of Ghostbridge Theatre's premiere of the surreal journey has taken on a dreamlike aesthetic in their exercises. This cast has done everything from rampaging around their rehearsal room in the roar of noisemakers and wild shouting to transforming their characters into untamed animals in order to discover the rhythm of the contemplative, absurd comedy.
"I want to see how many different ways I can come at the audience from an unexpected angle," playwright and director Jeff Nichols said.
"Four Actors in Search of a Moment" follows four people stripped of their identities and sense of reality only to find themselves lost on a stage. Eventually, the group comes to realize that they're actors playing characters through repeated moments of meta theater; there's a character named Stage Directions, for example. The four pass the time with genre-hopping acting school-style improv scenes, including dramatic monologues about made-up car accidents and fighting a riotous "imaginary war" with each other. They can only entertain the façade for so long, though, because each individual slowly becomes aware that they're living in a non-fictional reality. This leads to the complete dissolution of the world they created, leaving nothing but the real-life actors to present themselves characterless to the audience.
Adam Scarpello, one of the performers in the ensemble, has never had the experience of coming onstage as an unembellished version of himself.
"How am I a human being on a naked level? It's hard because you're trying to strip every single wall you've ever built up to tell an audience, 'This is who I am right now,'" he said.
It's an unorthodox task for actors, and this reflects what Ghostbridge seeks to produce in its future. Artistic director Nichols' young company took its current form in 2011 when he moved back to the Twin Cities after attending graduate school in southern Illinois. His return with executive director Karen Elaine Massey marks the beginning of what the pair hopes will be a successful vehicle for producing new work and conjuring the experimental — something they feel the local theater scene could use more of.
"Theater is a very particular art form, so if you're going to go, it should be giving you something different," he said.
"Four Actors in Search of a Moment" caters to his sentiment well, combining a live score that builds toward circling, delirious soundscapes and sections of abstract theater dance. All in all, the play could easily overwhelm and detach an audience with its frenzied action. Eric Cohen, an actor in the production, insists that this is all a part of having a visceral experience with the work.
"The script is a little bit obtuse, but there's more to it than that."
Nichols agrees, stating that overstimulation has become normality in the information age. He asserts that the play isn't just a response to the conventions and structure of theater; it's a commentary about the characters people adopt when they go in public and an exploration of how possible it is to reach deep, intimate contact with another person.
"To me, the play is very humanistic — experiences have value when we find that moment we're all in search of, this moment where we can really connect with someone."
