Berkeley Rep & Eve Ensler Announce Cast & Creative Team for "Emotional Creature"
For photos, interviews, videos, etc. contact:
Terence Keane, Director of Public Relations
(510) 647-2917, firstname.lastname@example.com
Cast and creative team named for world premiere of Tony-winning playwright's new show
MAY 15, 2012 - Today, Berkeley Repertory Theatre announced the cast and creative team for its world premiere of Eve Ensler's Emotional Creature. This positive and propulsive new show - from the Tony Award-winning playwright, performer, and activist who created The Vagina Monologues - features a terrific choreographer, an innovative composer, four top designers, and an energetic ensemble of talented young women. Directed by Obie Award-winner Jo Bonney, Emotional Creature plays only 36 performances in the Roda Theatre. The limited engagement at Berkeley Rep begins previews on June 14, opens June 22, and runs through July 15. The lead producers of this premiere are Wayne Jordan and Quinn Delaney, Marjorie Randolph, and Jack and Betty Schafer; the executive producer is the Strauch Kulhanjian Family. The development of this production has been supported in part by The Mosse Artistic Development Fund.
Eve Ensler's latest effort to empower people is based on her bestselling novel I Am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World. This powerful new play is made up of original monologues, irresistible songs, and music about and for girls. Placing their stories squarely center stage, it gives full expression to their secret voices and innermost thoughts, highlighting the diversity and commonality of the issues they face. Emotional Creature is a call, a reckoning, an education, an act of empowerment for girls, and an illumination for parents and for us all. It debuts in Berkeley following successful workshops in Johannesburg and Paris. Known for launching high-profile projects such as American Idiot and Passing Strange, Berkeley Rep is the perfect place to begin this journey.
"Emotional Creature is about being a girl in the world in 2012 and about discovering the girl in each of us," Ensler remarks. "It is about changing the verb from please to create or defy or resist or imagine. It is about traveling and dancing and refusing. It is about telling secrets and breaking taboos and building a posse. Where else would we begin this in America than Berkeley, in what other theatre than Berkeley Rep, which has a gorgeous history of pushing the edge, engaging in social issues, and conjuring community. I am thrilled at the extraordinary, diverse, wildly talented, and committed actors, producers, and creative team - and of course our musical director Charl-Johan Lingenfelder and director Jo Bonney - who will take Emotional Creature to the next level."
"Eve Ensler is a force of nature," says Tony Taccone, artistic director of Berkeley Rep. "Her passion, joy, and complete commitment to the making of Emotional Creature were immediately apparent to me. She is dedicated to this almost antiquated idea that theatre can change lives - and she settles for nothing less. This show is more evidence of that idea. Ms. Ensler has found a way to give women, girls, and all of us an important opportunity to express ourselves in a creative and dynamic way. It's thrilling for us to be part of it."
Eve Ensler is the author of The Vagina Monologues, which has been translated into 48 languages and performed in over 140 countries, including sold-out runs off Broadway and on London's West End. Her experience performing that show inspired her to create V-Day, a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. Her other work includes plays such as The Good Body and Here, the memoir Insecure at Last, and the anthology A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, and a Prayer, co-edited with Mollie Doyle.
Jo Bonney has directed world premieres for noted writers such as Alan Ball, Eric Bogosian, Culture Clash, Jessica Goldberg, Neil LaBute, Warren Leight, Lynn Nottage, Darci Picoult, Suzan Lori-Parks, Jose Rivera, Christopher Shinn, Diana Son, Naomi Wallace, and Michael Weller. At Berkeley Rep, she staged the world premiere of Danny Hoch's Jails, Hospitals & Hip Hop. Off Broadway, her production of Will Power's The Seven won the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical and her staging of Lanford Wilson's Fifth of July won the Lortel Award for Best Revival.
The play features music and music direction by Charl-Johan Lingenfelder. Lingenfelder is an actor, musician, musical director, and composer who is renowned in his native South Africa as the creator of highly innovative and controversial shows, He has written original music for more than 50 plays, television programs, and films, and has served as musical director on more than 20 musicals. For the last five years, he has also co-owned the highly successful Warehouse Theatre in Cape Town. The choreographer for Emotional Creature is Luam. She is an internationally renowned choreographer who has worked with top artists including Beyonce, Rihanna, Brittany Spears, and Kanye West. Her film and television credits include Making the Band 4, Step Up Revolution, and Beyonce's new documentary special, Year of 4. Luam has been nominated twice for Best Choreography by Dance Track Magazine, and her videos on YouTube have more than 30 million views.
The cast for Emotional Creature showcases six exhilarating performers. Ashley Bryant performed on Broadway in A Free Man of Color. Her other New York credits include shows with Creative Destruction, Cypher Productions, Ensemble Studio Theatre, and Theatre Askew, and her regional experience includes American Repertory Theatre, Crossroads Theatre Company, Florida Studio Theatre, Hartford Stage, and Shakespeare & Company. Molly Carden has appeared in The Bird, The Two-Ton Weight, and many readings and workshops at Ensemble Studio Theatre, where she is a company member. Her other credits include It's Poison at New York's Red Room and The Great Immensity for The Civilians and Kansas City Repertory Theatre. Emily S. Grosland has been seen at the California Theatre Center, Florida Studio Theatre, Sanguine Theatre Company, Stages St. Louis, and Theatre L'Homme Dieu. She also performed in Wagner's Ring Cycle at Los Angeles Opera and the North American tour of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Joaquina Kalukango performed on Broadway in Godspell. Her off-Broadway credits include Rent at New World Stages and Hurt Village at the Signature Theatre, which earned her a nomination for the 2012 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play. Sade Namei performed weekly in #Serials@theFlea as part of the Bats, the resident acting company at Flea Theater. Her other New York credits include The Flying Latke at the Flea, KNEAD at Performance Space 122, Leaves of Grass at The Cell, and In Medias Res, her one-woman show at the Iranian Theater Festival. Olivia Oguma appeared on Broadway in A Christmas Carol, Les Misérables, and Mamma Mia! and off Broadway in BFE at Playwrights Horizons, La Dispute at National Asian American Theatre Company, and Sarah Plain & Tall at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. She has also been seen on film and TV, at many regional theatres, and in the first national tour of Disney's High School Musical.
The creative team for Emotional Creature features four exceptional designers. Myung Hee Cho (scenic and costume design) created costumes for Berkeley Rep's premiere of 36 Views. Her many credits in the U.S. include productions at Center Theatre Group, Chicago Opera, the Kennedy Center, The Public Theater, Signature Theatre, and South Coast Repertory. Her work has also been seen in Hong Kong, Singapore, Toronto, and beyond. Lap Chi Chu (lighting design) served as lighting designer for Berkeley Rep's production of Ruined. His off-Broadway credits include New York Theatre Workshop, P.S. 122, The Public, and Second Stage Theatre, and his regional experience includes Arena Stage, CTG, Goodman Theatre, the Huntington Theatre Company, La Jolla Playhouse, and Portland Center Stage. He earned the Angstrom Award for Career Achievement in Lighting Design from the L.A. Drama Critics Circle. Jake Rodriguez (sound design) is contributing to his fifth world premiere at Berkeley Rep, following Fêtes de la Nuit, Girlfriend, Passing Strange, and The People's Temple. He has countless credits on local stages such as American Conservatory Theater, Aurora Theatre Company, California Shakespeare Theater, Magic Theatre, Shotgun Players, TheatreWorks, and Z Space.

Steve, thanks for taking time out to answer some questions. Could we get things started by you giving us some background on yourself with respect to becoming a Java developer?
Hello everyone, I'm Steve Northover, the principal architect of SWT. I'm what is sometimes called a Technical Manager which means I write real code and fix bugs as well as do planning and other less fun activities.
I started out at Object Technology International (OTI) as a Smalltalk programmer, way back in 1990. We built products using the most suitable technology for the job because shipping products, and not technology, is what keeps a small company alive.
When OTI moved to Java, I moved with it.I'm assuming that SWT development takes up most of your time, however, are you involved in any other projects at the moment?
I'm always pretty busy around Eclipse.org but SWT is my primary focus. I'm afraid that I'm a widget addict. I never met a window system I didn't like. There is nothing else I would rather be working on. For me, widgets have always been fun and interesting.
SWTYou are quoted as saying "If you stop to think about it, we support 5 different operating systems using totally different code bases and somehow knit together and implement a portable API to all of them and we do this for free. It's a full time job, 24-7." Bearing this in mind, why did IBM feel the need to develop SWT at all? Is it worth it?
The most interesting thing for us at OTI was always building and shipping products. This remains the focus today, now that we are part of IBM. I'm not going to repeat the whole history of SWT here because it's available from multiple sources. What I will say is that when we went to use Java to build the successor to VisualAge for Java, we decided, based on our previous experience, that developing SWT was the best way to solve the problem. Honestly, I think it has worked out rather well.Native widgets aside, the SWT architecture is considerably different from Swing's. What were the factors that influenced the eventual design?
There were many. I learned a lot of things from the Smalltalk world and the experience I had programming there. One thing I found was that the power of OO languages led people to over-engineer their solutions. Discovering this was not rocket science, but I had to make those mistakes once myself to see it. However, I learned and swore that I would never do it again. That's where some of the SWT "less is more" philosophy comes from. Occam knew what he was talking about.
I also discovered that in the end, people don't usually care how your software is implemented, they just want it to work and be as small and fast as possible. Hence, the focus on efficiency. By the way, that's absolutely not a negative statement about anyone else's technology.
When we started SWT, I promised myself I was not going to build a gigantic, unmanageable, programming mess. Native widget toolkits are always on the edge of being just that. It's not that any particular aspect of it is really that complicated, but the amount of detail can become overwhelming. There's also the problem of language mismatch. Native widgets are traditionally programmed in C, not Java. Our approach, mapping the platform APIs as directly as possible to Java, has turned out to be a successful way to deal with this.SWT's native look and feel has certainly enamored many Java developers. What other aspects do you feel SWT excels at?
The design of the toolkit is clean. It is designed to provide the thinnest possible interface between you and the platform and provide tight native integration. It starts fast and has a good memory footprint. The community involvement with its ongoing development is also a strength.One of the problems SWT faced was that in order to create a portable API using native widgets, you must always restrict functionality to the lowest common-denominator. Has this been frustrating? Do you think an optimized, emulated toolkit would have been better in hindsight?
No (to both questions). With native widget toolkits, the thing that is important is to focus on what is absolutely necessary to build portable applications. Sometimes trade offs are required and we decide not to expose rarely used platform functionality. In other cases, platform constraints influence the design. For example, in SWT, you need to provide the parent when constructing a widget. Believe it or not, this was controversial. On Windows and some other platforms, a widget can't be created in the operating system without one. This single design decision cut out all the problems associated with copies of widget state, some in the operating system and some in Java. Native toolkits are hard to design and build but provide a number of unique advantages over an emulated approach.Some recent articles have criticized SWT development as being prioritized towards the needs of the Eclipse project. Is this a fair assessment?
Eclipse is certainly a major client of SWT and influenced the early development of the toolkit. However, there are many factors that determine what we work on. The SWT committers work hard to help anyone doing real things with SWT.

NYC police commish says he's not running for mayor
NEW YORK (AP) — Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly is the most popular public figure in New York City not running for mayor. And when asked, his answer is always the same: He has no plans to enter the race and is focusing solely on running the police department.
But that hasn't stopped political insiders from urging the 71-year-old Kelly to get in, suggesting his tough-on-crime record would make him the front-runner from Day One.
"Ray Kelly great public servant. Only hope of averting disaster for NY," media mogul Rupert Murdoch tweeted last week.
Such chatter has reached a fever pitch ahead of an upcoming deadline for candidates to file petitions to get on the ballot. But experts say the odds of Kelly entering are slim, and it's not clear whether the commissioner who has served for more than a decade would even stay on after the election.
"I think that the conservatives, plus some business elites, are concerned about the Democrats being too liberal for them," so they want someone like Kelly who can replicate the policies of outgoing independent Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his Republican predecessor, Rudy Giuliani, said City University of New York Graduate Center political scientist John Mollenkopf.
Kelly is an independent who has served under both Democrats and Republicans, including former President Bill Clinton as the head of customs. He's seen as someone comfortable being a public figure, with the managerial experience of leading the nation's largest police department.
Kelly also has presided over a precipitous drop in crime — last year there were a record low 419 murders in a city of 8 million people — and has remade the NYPD's counterterrorism and crime-fighting efforts. His reputation remains untarnished despite department scandal and criticism.
"He's a phenomenal police commissioner," said Bloomberg, who is limited to three terms. "He's done an enormous job for this city. As far as I know, he doesn't have any interest in running for mayor. But this is a very good manager who cares very much about people and has done a great job."
Kelly regularly gets a higher approval rating than the mayor and other public figures; in a Quinnipiac University poll late last month, more than two-thirds of voters said they liked how he's doing his job. The same poll also found nearly half thought he should run for mayor.
"There's no question that he's admired in what he's doing in his job," but it's not clear that would translate into support for him as a political candidate, said the poll's director, Maurice "Mickey" Carroll.
Late last week, when asked about the election, Kelly gave the standard response: "I have no plans to run for elective office."
But he acknowledged he was flattered by the poll numbers, citing them as a reflection of how well police officers do their jobs.
"They are doing a superb job and I'm the beneficiary of that," he said.
Talk of Kelly's political prospects picked up after some voters started getting survey calls last month about their views of him and the mayor's race. Conducted by longtime Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway, the $17,000 survey was commissioned by a businessman who's not well known in political circles, she said, declining to identify him. She said he had seen media reports about interest in a potential Kelly candidacy and was curious about how he might fare.
"I believe that there is room for a new entrant, especially someone as well-known as Ray Kelly," Conway said.
But with a July 11 deadline to submit petitions to enter the race for the Sept. 10 primary, it could be tough to put together a campaign and fundraising apparatus. Many experienced political strategists are already committed to other candidates, as are many endorsers.
Plus, as an independent, Kelly would need party leaders' permission to run in a primary.
"I admire the commissioner greatly, but in terms of being a candidate for mayor, I don't believe it's going to happen," said Manhattan Republican Party Chairman Daniel Isaacs. "I don't believe he, personally, is inclined to run, and I think, quite frankly, at this juncture it's quite late to run."
The Manhattan GOP is busily preparing to help gather petition signatures for its choice, billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis.
Kelly's popularity has remained high even as his department's tactics have come under fire.
An ongoing federal civil rights lawsuit claims thousands of street stops made under the department's "stop, question and frisk" policy were based solely on race. During the 10-week trial, city lawmakers reached agreement on a proposal to create an inspector general to oversee the police department, based largely on the outcry over stop-and-frisk and a series of stories by The Associated Press about the department's monitoring of Muslims. A 2011 investigation found instances of ticket-fixing by dozens of officers who are now being charged criminally. And the 50-shot police barrage that killed unarmed Sean Bell on his wedding day prompted protests and debate about excessive force.
Some current mayoral candidates have said they would keep Kelly as commissioner, but he hasn't said whether he'd stay if asked.
Others would look for new leadership in the police department if elected.
"Ray Kelly has done a tremendous job for the people of this city ... but after 12 years, it's time for a new set of eyes and some new ideas and new management," according to the campaign of Adolfo Carrion, a former Bronx borough president.
Braulio Collado, a 49-year-old Manhattan flower vendor who lives in the Bronx, said the leading Democratic candidates, such as City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, had flaws.
"He's a good commissioner, and maybe he'd be good in politics because he has a lot of personality — and he represents the law," Collado said.
Associated Press writers Verena Dobnik and Frank Eltman contributed to this report.

Help with dd (18mos).
Dd has been sleeping through the night since about 9mos. She is in a crib, goes down with a blanky, fusses for like 2 secs, and goes to bed.
Well, on Friday she screamed and screamed, and I ended up holding her on and off until about 10PM. She normally goes to bed around 7-8PM. I tried everything, but she would not stop shrieking unless I held her. Eventually I just let her cio at around 10PM.
Same thing happened yesterday, she was fussy like crazy, and didn't stop screaming until about 9pm. When I'd go in and hold her she'd be quiet, and when I left she'd shriek and scream.
Now it's happening AGAIN tonight.
I do NOT want to get into a terrible pattern with this -- I don't want to hold her all night, or co-sleep. It's just not my thing.
Nothing seems to be wrong, no new teeth, she's not hungry or thirsty, no new routine or anything like that. I feel that every time I go in and pick her up, she screams for another 30 min. But I don't want to let her scream if something is WRONG, ya know? Help.
wife, doula, CPST, and homeschooling mom of four.
Looking forward to a new butt to fluff in December!

Re: Help with dd (18mos).
I'm right there with you... DS usually just rolls right over and goes to sleep so when he has that rare night where he can't get to sleep sometimes its hard to figure out to do! I think its just that sometimes even babies that usually sleep well have trouble winding down. We co-sleep part time but when he's having trouble, falling asleep in our bed will take FOREVER because he'd rather play. Sooo, we just kind of try to "start over" altogether with getting him to sleep because the more he cries the more wound up he gets. I might take him to a room in the house that's just kind of boring (with no toys) and let him crawl around for a little while. Read him a book, that kind of thing. Oh, and he LOVES lavender lotion massages so that might work for you. I usually do that after he's in the crib and it really calms him down. I'm sure there are a ton more things you could think of to "wind her down".
Oh and one other thing, do you think she could be teething? I guess it could be pain instead of just problems falling asleep.
Anyway, good luck mama, I hope your little one starts falling asleep better!

Re: Help with dd (18mos).
Maybe she needs a little extra tlc from you during the day??? sometimes they just need some extra comfort...or she is testing you to see how far you will go...

Re: Help with dd (18mos).
my ds is doing the same thing!! But my gut tells me that his stomach maybe has a little bug that is giving him a tummy ache and not nessecarily giving him a fever or any other signs of sickness ----but my TlC makes him feel alittle better. I will give it to him for a little bit, rock him for a while but then I do let him CIO.
He's finally going back to letting me put him to bed and then fall asleep. It lasted for like a week and a half ...maybe even 2.....but who knows why?
Maybe she doesnt feel good maybe somehting hurts but she cant tell you? ANd it totally could be some type of night terror that has spooked her?? She'll move through it just give her a lot of TLC so she knows you're there for her.

Re: Help with dd (18mos).
Well I ended up patting her back for a while (with her in the crib) and then leaving the door open until I left.
She seems to be in a stranger-anxiety phase, so I'm trying to give her lots of tlc during the day.
Also, she IS getting teeth. So a bad combo!
Thanks moms.

Living A Versatile Life: 5+ Random Tidbits
I think being a versatile blogger can spring from living a "versatile" life — one full of change and adventure. I also think most people lead versatile lives — we can't help it: growing up is change, life itself has so many facets.
Here are 5 random tidbits from mine:
1. Before I turned four years old and my parents divorced, I remember spending a lot of time in the backstage of a theater in Siberia where both my parents worked. I remember painted faces of actors and the glitter on their costumes. I remember the tobacco smoke so thick it hung over their dressing rooms like a curtain. I watched the same performances over and over, and like reading a good book, took pleasure in them every single time. I also loved being the actors' adored little baby doll and as a teenager dreamed of becoming an actress myself.
2. At age fourteen, I sang and played on the piano an interpretation of Gershwin's "Summertime" on Russian television.
3. Graduating from a New Jersey high school, my good grades were marred by one "C:" in creative writing! (The teacher couldn't stand me. To be fair, I was probably quite a pain the butt.)
4. I married my husband at the age of 18 (almost 19) and had my first child at the age of 21. Many people made snide remarks, thought we got married because of a baby, told me point-blank they were sure it wouldn't last. One woman confessed to me she was surprised to see me take such a great care of my baby son — it wasn't what she expected. My husband and I have been married for almost 15 years now.
5. When my husband first took me to France as a young wife to meet his family, I was frustrated with having to sit at a dinner table with my new relatives, often not understanding a single word. When I returned home, I enrolled in French classes in college. When we came back to France a year later, I surprised everyone by speaking French!
These were more like memories than tidbits — sorry about their length! If you were looking for truly random, bite-sized stuff, here are a few more: I am afraid of moths, I still dream of flying many nights the way kids often do, I wake up every morning at 5:30 a.m., except on Saturdays to work on my writing, I love forces of nature, such as the mountains and the sea, I sometimes forget words in Russian — or I might remember individual words, but not how to string them together gracefully, but that's okay, because English is my true language love.
Okay, that was way more than 5 tidbits. I hope that's okay!
Next week comes the best part: presenting the versatile blogger award to others. Get ready to discover some awesome new blogs!

These sound like fantastic memories/tidbits. I always like reading more about you. You have an interesting life and much to write about.
I would love to become fluent (or close to it) in a language in a year. All the French I studied left me.
I'm glad the naysayers were wrong in regards to your marriage and writing. That'll show them. 😉
Have a wonderful weekend.

From the Andes to the Cellar: Argentinean Wines
For a wine region to earn a position as a major player in the world of seriously fine wines, it must produce a substantial volume of high-quality wine that is regarded by leading wine critics as such, and it must be exported to the United States and other major markets. This new-found respect is usually the result of a small group of passionate and talented individuals who (1) recognize in their specific environment the rare combination of attributes (soil, climate, sun exposure) that enable one to make great wine; and (2) possess the relentless devotion to making it. Following success, their neighbors begin to follow their path until there is a critical mass of production and the critics and public take notice. This is what happened in Priorat, Spain and Central Otago, New Zealand in recent years. And now enters Mendoza, Argentina.
Argentine wine is not a new phenomenon, but the wide-spread quality is. The vast majority of its wine is produced in the western province of Mendoza, located at the base of the Andes at an elevation of 2,500 feet or higher. The principal grape here is Malbec, but an increasing amount of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is produced here as well, and some excellent blends are made from all three.
The flag bearer of the region has been, and continues to be, the illustrious Catena family (think Mondavi), which has been devoted to deep-flavored, well-balanced red wines for decades. Robert Parker included Bodega Catena Zapata in his excellent book, The World's Greatest Wine Estates. However, in the last ten years, an ever-growing number of dedicated vignerons have developed a significant number of world-class premium wines, many from very old Malbec vines that previously were farmed for optimum quantity, with quality a secondary consideration. That has changed dramatically.
A good example of this new breed is Santiago Achaval, a graduate of Stanford Business School who with his partner, Dr. Manuel Ferrer, created Bodega Achaval-Ferrer in 1998. They produce three single-vineyard Malbecs from very old vines (some over 80 years old), and a blend, Quimera, comprised of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. Through intensive vineyard management, grape selection, and non-interventionist winemaking, the wines have modest levels of alcohol (~13%), moderate oak, supple tannins, rich and deep flavors, and silky textures. This combination of characteristics enables them to pair well with a broad spectrum of food, ranging from broiled salmon to herb-roasted chicken to a variety of beef dishes. They are increasingly available in the U.S. and I highly recommend them.
Another intriguing source is Bodega Weinert, located in a 19th century facility which Bernardo Weinert purchased in 1974. Contrary to modern cellar techniques, their wines are aged in huge, old oak casks, sometimes for more than seven years. They eschew the fruit-forward, fat "international style" in favor of the more refined and balanced approach; yet the top wines are blessed with a purity of flavor and freshness that makes for wonderful food pairings. Weinert makes a lot of wine, more than 50,000 cases per year, covering the full range of prices from $12 to well over $100. The top wines also age exceedingly well, as evidenced in a recent tasting of the 1977 Malbec, Weinert's first vintage. It was still full of life, with subtle notes of tobacco, old leather, cassis, and dried herbs. Through the energetic efforts of the lovely Iduna Weinert, Bernardo's daughter, the availability of these wines in the U.S is growing. They are imported by Bartholomew Broadbent.
Other premier producers in Argentina who export to the U.S. are Alta Vista, Cheval des Andes (owned by Bordeaux's legendary Cheval Blanc), Vina Cobos (owned by Paul Hobbs), O. Fournier, Luca, Luigi Bosca, Monteviejo, Poesia, Tapiz, Trapiche, and Vina Alicia.

Loblolly PinePinus taeda
The loblolly pine is an important American timber tree that is also cloaked in beauty during much of the year. With a natural range reaching across the southeastern United States, this pine is distinguished by its large, columnar trunk; attractive bark in broad, reddish-brown plates; and its pale green needles.
As one of the fastest growing southern pines, it is used for a quick screen in many landscapes.

Some qemu questions (networking,usb devices)
Hello people,
i have installed succesfully qemu-1.0p1 on my system(OpenBSD 5.1)
and then installed windows xp using these steps(i read the guide on /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes):
qemu-system-i386 -m 320 -monitor stdio -no-fd-bootchk \-hda xpdark.img -cdrom *iso -boot d
qemu-img convert -c -O qcow2 xpdark.img v.tmp && \mv v.tmp xpdark.img
The third step in the guide is for booting:
qemu-system-i386 -m 320 -nographic -no-fd-bootchk -hda xpdark.img
running qemu to stop it.
However xp load normally if i omit the nographic and -no-fd-bootchk params.
1)Not sure why that happens but i would like to know if anyone has faced the same issue.
2)Also, i noticed that i can't give to the guest OS more than 320mb of memory. Is there a way to give more?( 512 would be nice ) my physical system has 3GB of ram.
3)About networking now i'm trying to connect the guest to the internet but the man page is not much of a help.In the /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes the networking part of qemu says:
Default Settings
By default, QEMU sets up the equivalent of the following networking:
-net nic,vlan=0,model=e1000,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56
-net user,vlan=0
Does this mean that networking should work by default if don't use the -net parameter to make manual settings?(it doesn't work for me). And if not, can anyone share some tips on how to do it?
4) Also about using usbs to the guest OS the man page says:
-usbdevice devname
So i'm trying something like this:
qemu-system-i386 -usb -usbdevice sd0 -hda xpdark.img -m 320
I also tried /dev/sd0,/dev/sd0c,/dev/sd0i and the same but with /dev/rsdx
and i get the same errors.
I know i'm asking a lot of questions, but unfortunately, so far the qemu man page
is the most disappointing of all the man pages i've read.
I'm also attaching my dmesg in case someone needs it.

Yes, you're asking a lot of questions.
The first one, about -nographic, I can answer. You got into trouble because the readme is describing running OpenBSD as a guest, not Windows. -nographic eliminates the virtual graphics card, and routes the first serial device I/O to the host standard input and output. Very useful for an OpenBSD guest where X would not be used ... not so helpful with your typical MS Windows installation, which isn't designed to communicate with an operator via a com port nor to typically be operated and administered headless.
The second question, about virtual memory limitations, I can also answer. You have two limiting factors: 1) you are running i386 -- in that arch, userland processes are limited to obtaining just under 1GB of virtual memory in total, and 2) qemu consumes lots on its own. This new release (1.0) consumes much much more than earlier versions.
The third question, I cannot answer only because I don't understand the problem. If you don't use -net, you will get a single "userland" network interface definition, which will have a virtual 10.x subnet and a virtual DHCP server on it. You haven't posted what "doesn't work for me" means, but the only reasons I could think of that it isn't working for you is either a missing NIC driver in your guest OS, or perhaps a conflict between the virtual 10.x subnet and a real subnet in the 10/8 address space in your private network.
The fourth question -- well, I think you need not use -usb at all. Just give the raw, phyiscal drive to the guest as either an IDE or SCSI drive, your choice. If sd0 is the drive, the device to pass to qemu would be /dev/rsd0c. You'll need to be superuser, of course.
Last edited by jggimi; 8th March 2012 at 11:54 AM.
I see, i thought it was just an example for every OS and it was just using openbsd for it. :/
sudo qemu-system-i386 -usbdevice /dev/rsd0c -hda xpdark.img -m 320 qemu: could not add USB device '/dev/rsd0c'
Use -hda/b/c/d or -drive.
sudo qemu-system-i386 -hda xpdark.img -m 320 -hdb /dev/rsd0c
One last thing: I noticed that i must mount the usb device to obsd to use it with qemu. Don't know might be that i'm brand new to a lot of things latetly but this kinda strange.
Anyway, thanks again.
Last edited by sepuku; 8th March 2012 at 09:24 PM.
Unless xpdark.img is on sd0, or some part of the /usr/local hierarchy is on sd0, there should be no requirement for mounting any of its partitions on OpenBSD.
(An example: Suppose your guest was OS X and your USB device contained only a single foreign filesystem for which there is no filesystem driver in OpenBSD, such as HFS. Or your device used GPT instead of MBR. Or your guest architecture were SPARC and the device had no MBR... etc.)
Yes, you were right. I guess i got confused with the previous attempts with -usb and -usbdevice and got wrong impressions.
Anyway thank you once again.
I have installed XP guest using qemu. But XP doesnot find NIC driver.
I donot use any "-net" switch so it should be e1000 .
Can you share the NIC driver ?

The City followed up on a March meeting about intersection improvements at the intersections of W Reed Ave and W Glebe Rd with Mt. Vernon Ave on Wednesday, Sep 23. Neighbors and a business owner or two were on hand for a presentation to review the preliminary design work of Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Four alternatives were presented.
Existing Intersection Issues
First, here's a little background from the 2008 Pedestrian and Bike Mobility Plan to get an idea of why this intersection is at issue. There are traffic and aesthetic issues, as well, but let me outline some of the safety concerns.
The first graphic, below, shows the intersections in question had medium crash density compared to similar sites, city-wide. The only high crash density in the city was just North between Russell Rd and Four Mile Run on Mt. Vernon Ave. I suppose work to resolve those issues will fall to a future effort.
This second chart identifies these intersections as providing fairly poor quality crossing conditions. This supports the need to make improvements at the two sites.
Finally, this third chart demonstrates the high volume of potential pedestrian activity. The relatively poor crossing conditions coupled with a high potential pedestrian activity further support the need to increase the quality of these intersections for pedestrians to avoid future pedestrian-related accidents at this site. Additionally, any effort made to give Arlandria more of a sense of place is a step in the right direction.
The Mt. Vernon/W Glebe Alternatives
Now that we have a little background, let's get to the good stuff. While four alternatives were presented for the W Glebe/Mt. Vernon intersection, only one option was presented in depth. Here is the full presentation.
The first three alternatives presented would require significant redevelopment to become possible, as they required the city to acquire additional right of way to carry out. The three throw-aways were 1) a roundabout with an offset approach, 2) a realignment to square-up the intersection, and 3) offsetting Mt. Vernon Ave (see following 3 images from the presentation for clarity). The roundabout option seemed overly complex compared to the one I mocked up in an earlier blog entry, though admittedly, my mocked up design was only loosely based on what roundabout standards I could find in various documents from VDOT and Maryland's DOT. Even my version requires the city to acquire right of way from 2 intersection-adjacent property owners.
The fourth option is one that could be done within the existing right-of-way. Right-turn slip-lanes are created for both right turns off of Mt. Vernon Ave. Generally that change is considered a setback for pedestrians, but they plan to add additional traffic calming features designed to make the slip-lane feel like a pedestrian oriented space. Finally, the design includes shortening crossing distances by adding a pedestrian island at the northwest and southeast corners that narrow the intersection. The pedestrian island might include certain "gateway" features to make the intersection feel more like an entrance to Arlandria, but what that means remains to be seen.
Primary citizen concerns with this intersection alignment were that it is still not pedestrian-oriented enough. Some were concerned about slip-lanes, though it seemed the extra pedestrian features of the slip-lanes allayed their fears.
One suggestion was to make the right turn lane on eastbound W Glebe a straight and right-turn lane and to make the other lane a signaled left-turn lane. Staff explained that approximately the same portion of traffic goes right as goes both straight and left combined. Citizens were surprisingly less concerned with the traffic flow issues in favor of making the intersection more pedestrian oriented. As a worst case scenario, if the City makes the citizen recommended change and it does not work well, the City could cheaply put the lane alignment and signals back as they are shown in the diagram above.
Reed and Mt Vernon Intersection Improvements
Only a single option was presented for Reed/Mt. Vernon. It added bulb-outs to narrow crossing distance and an additional cross-walk, primaritly to get to and from the bus stops. Citizens thought adding a cross-walk both North and South of the intersection would make more sense. At the very least, the cross-walk should be on the north side instead of the south side, where the road will become narrowest.
Another big question was about a future plan to extend Reed into the Safeway/Datatel site and connect it to W Glebe Rd, as was suggested by the Arlandria Long Term Action Plan. People asked if all this work would be necessary if that plan goes through. City Staff said the current effort makes that effort more feasible in the future. It consolidates some driveways and makes the entrance to Wachovia better aligned with Reed. If the road were ever extended, it would likely pass through this same curb-cut.
Overall Concerns
Many were concerned about cost. The impression we've been given by the City is that the $500K in Capital Improvement Project (CIP) funds set aside for "Revitalization of Arlandria" have to stretch over several projects. It looks like these intersection changes will take up somewhere in the $200K to $300K range (perhaps a little bit less) of that $500K. Sandra Marks said the project has not been approved yet and the soon to be formed Arlandria Implementation Advisory Group could have a say in prioritization of the project (more on formation of that group very soon). A delay for prioritization could impact the project start date. Attendees were mixed between getting something done ASAP and making sure this is where we want to spend much of the available CIP funding.
Other concerns were that if the engineering phase of the project were started today, actual construction would not begin until summer 2010. If we agree to this project, why does it have to take nearly a year to get started?
In all, it was a productive meeting, even if we felt we were not really given alternatives to work with. The city is, at least, trying to move forward with one major project in the area. The question still remains why this project was chosen over many others, but perhaps it was just a target of opportunity since changes can be made to the existing right-of-way.

Communities throughout McHenry County are waiting to see whether Gov. Pat Quinn will legalize medical marijuana before making revisions to their respective zoning codes that would regulate it.
Some officials in Huntley, Lake in the Hills and other areas have even expressed doubts on whether they would want to attract the handful of marijuana dispensaries and cultivation centers allowed under the bill awaiting Quinn's signature.
The lone exception is Fox Lake, which already has changed its zoning code that regulates where and how a marijuana dispensary would operate.
"Nobody on the board opposed it," Fox Lake Mayor Donny Schmit said. "Everyone has either had a friend or family member with cancer or some other illness, so nobody opposed the concept of medical marijuana. We didn't want to wait to the very end and scramble and not be prepared for it."
Fox Lake's proactive approach to a bill that other communities haven't even contemplated was a product of opportunity, Schmit said. The board was in the process of updating its zoning code, and members felt it would be wise to include regulations for medical marijuana.
Any potential marijuana dispensary in Fox Lake would be classified "manufacture" and located away from the more-populated downtown and residential areas.
The village's regulations are in line with the bill's provisions that require any local government to create zoning rules to regulate the 22 cultivation centers and 60 dispensaries that would be geographically scattered throughout the state.
Local governments are required under the bill to keep either facility between 1,000 feet to 2,500 feet away from schools, day-care centers and residential areas.
Municipalities also would not be able to prohibit the cultivation or distribution of medical marijuana in their communities. The provision already has drawn some complaints from Chicago-area suburbs that fear they would not be able to deny the few dispensaries and cultivators allowed in the bill.
But in McHenry County, most communities aren't even discussing the bill that would make Illinois the 20th state in the nation to legalize medical marijuana.
Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley wouldn't entertain a discussion on any of the bill's provisions until it becomes law. The City Council already has adopted a resolution that instructs Crystal Lake's Planning and Zoning Commission to craft regulations only after medical marijuana becomes legal.
Quinn has said he is open-minded to the idea of legalizing the illicit drug for medical use, but has not indicated when he would make a decision.
The bill allows people with debilitating conditions, such as cancer, muscular dystrophy and Tourette syndrome, to receive 2.5 ounces of marijuana every two weeks, with a doctor's prescription.
"We haven't begun the discussion," Shepley said. "I think the issue is not ripe for the discussion at this point. No person should be required to do something that may later be unnecessary."
Nearby Lake in the Hills adopted a similar resolution earlier this year. Dan Olson, the village's community development director, said Lake in the Hills will do the necessary homework once officials have a legal obligation to do so.
"We have no desire to attract these facilities," Olson said. "We would just want to make sure our regulations are in place."
Officials in Huntley already have been approached about an interested marijuana cultivator from Batavia, but like their neighbors, they are uncertain whether they would want to attract medical marijuana businesses.
In McHenry, city staffers have decided they would wait to be approached by a person wanting to produce medical marijuana before starting zoning regulation changes.
"We don't have any plans to address it at this time, in terms of zoning or otherwise," McHenry City Administrator Derik Morefield said. "It's not even on the radar."
Medical marijuana in the United States:
• California became the first state to legalize medical marijuana in 1996.
• Since then, 18 other states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana. Those states are Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.

Classy move by the Oilers last night to be wearing OM decals on their helmets honouring Jussi Markkanen's young son Oli who passed away earlier this week in Moscow.
Before the game started you got the feeling this might be a dud game. Something about the Panthers makes you think snoozefest. Well, it was the Oilers who came out sleeping, getting out-shot 7–0 in the first 1:52 that led to the Panthers' Janis Sprukts sniping one off the post and in. In fact the Oil managed one measly shot.
But rather than give you a look at the play-by-play, I'm going to focus on a different player in each period: Lubomir Visnovsky in the first, Fernando Pisani in the second and Jeff Deslauriers in the third.
First Period—Visnovsky
In his first two shifts, he had more blocked shots than passes, 2–0, because the Panthers had the puck the entire time. Let's say this is not what I expected to report. I don't think the Oilers want him to lead the team in blocks.
His fourth shift showcases the range of his skill set. Every pass he makes is tape-to-tape, whether it is two-footer up the boards or a 30-footer through the neutral zone. In the offensive zone he reads the play incredibly well. He is in constant motion when the Oilers have complete control. He never stands still on the point. Moreau controls it on the right boards, and Visnovsky senses an opening, darts to the slot, receives the pass, but fans on his shot. Then he uses his speed to be the first guy back, picks up the puck at the side of the net, calming skates in front of the goal and with a man all over him, deftly dumps it up to Pisani.
There is 3:57 left in the first and the Oilers have one measly shot. I guess I won't be reporting on Visnovsky's offence. Wait: Panthers just took a penalty so we will see him on the PP.
Okay nothing has changed. He doesn't touch the puck for the 1:08 he is on the ice. The Oilers can't get set up and spend most of the PP trying to penetrate the Panthers zone. The Oilers get a 5-on-3 and he is back out. This time though, he plays the left point with Souray on the right side. The Oilers plan will be to set up Souray with the one-timer. Again, Visnovsky is constantly moving and talking. You can hear him yell all the way up in the pressbox. He only touches the puck once, and he lays a saucer pass across the ice to Souray. Horcoff scores a PP goal, but Visnovsky isn't involved in it.
The period ends tied at one, but the Oilers were outshot 16–4. Visnovsky is a treat to watch. I suggest one game you focus on him. Sometimes I don't think we really appreciate the skill of top-end players because we only watch them when they have the puck.
First Intermission
I run into Jason Strudwick on the catwalk and decide to do some serious investigative journalism. On the HF Boards I noticed posters were dying to know exactly what he and Zack Stortini were talking about during Monday's game against Vancouver. Strudwick starts laughing because many of his buddies have been texting him saying he was on the broadcast.
Turns out he was imitating Sasha "The Pitbull" Lakovic, the former tough guy who had stops with the Devils and Flames and was somewhat of a lunatic on the ice. Strudwick was recounting a story where in warm-up Lakovic was shaking and vibrating as he yelled to Strudwick, "Struds we are going man, we are going."
"I was telling Zack how Lakovic was so jacked up he was vibrating as he yelled at me. I told him 'Relax, it's only warm-up.' Funny thing is we didn't even fight that game," chuckled Strudwick.
"I remember Sasha's infamous quote about him being a pitbull and he was going to grab the NHL and shake it up," roared Strudwick. "Guys told me that sometimes after a game he would ride the bike naked. He was a different guy, but he was tough."
So there you go Oil fans. I said it the first time I met Strudwick: he will be one of the best quotes in the room, and he should fill the void left by the departure of Greene and Reasoner.
Second Period—Pisani
Note: Pisani won three of four draws in the first period.
I sure don't know how to pick guys that are around the play tonight. Through eight minutes, Pisani hasn't touched the puck and his line has been involved in very choppy shifts. He is good at stops and starts in the neutral zone.
At the 9:00 mark the Oilers get hemmed in, and Pisani stays with his man. He knocks Stefan Meyer to the ice in a one-on-one battle and the pucks squirts to Smid. As the Oilers go on the offence, Pisani gets the puck behind the net, and makes a soft pass to the point. A weak shot from Wild and the play is dead. Not much happening.
Oilers tie it up on the PP as Liam Reddox gets his first from Penner and Schremp. Schremp makes a great pass to Penner in the slot, his wrister is stopped, but Reddox bangs home the rebound.
Pisani in the circle to the left of Deslauriers and he beats Horton cleanly with the basic draw it back on your backhand (It's the only draw he wins this period). Oilers control and Pisani moves up ice, he takes the pass at the Oiler blue line and then makes a nifty pass to Penner. With Penner lumbering down the right side, Pisani passes it off the boards behind him, and it ricochets off directly on Penner's stick. His line keeps Florida pinned deep for the next 30 seconds and he moves around but never gets the puck. After an iron-lung-like 1:10 shift Pisani and Moreau get off.
Pisani is definitely not a flashy player. He always seems to know where to go. He doesn't get caught out of position, nor does he take many risks. Outside of the faceoffs, it doesn't seem like playing centre is that difficult for him. The one thing you'd like to see him do more often is get in the slot in the offensive zone. With Moreau and Penner he could be more of a shooter. That should come with more games, you'd hope.
I have to update you on the fight of the pre-season so far. Guillaume Lefebvre and Tanner Glass drop the mitts and start chucking. Lefebvre is a lefty and he lands three good blows, Glass to his credit absorbs them and lands a good left of his own. It's great watching two lefties go at it. Not much defence in this tilt. Lefebvre lands a few more and now Glass ducks down, Lefebvre attempts some uppercuts, but they don't seem to connect. Glass shoots his head back up and lands a few more lefts of his own. Both of these guys can take a punch. Decision to Lefebvre, who has had a pretty solid game and his skating has surprised me.
Pisani ends the period one for three in the dot.
Third Period—Deslauriers
I am ever regretting my decision to shadow Deslauriers. I'm not a fan of goalies—I like goals. Anyways, early on I notice that Deslauriers is great at maintaining the crouching position for long periods. He loves to bend over and watch the play the entire time it is in the offensive zone.
He trips behind the net going to get the puck on an Oiler PP. This is the second time tonight he has stumbled going to play the puck. But he hasn't looked at his skates yet, so they can't be dull. On the PP he likes to slap his stick exactly four times to warn his teammates the man is coming out of the sin bin.
He has only faced one shot this period so far, so it's hard to comment on his movement. At a timeout he skates to the bench and drinks from the water bottle. God, this is killing me. Do something, talk to your goal posts, skate around, or shake your mask, anything. This might be the worst blog segment ever.
At 9:59, he shows his acrobatics sprawling across the crease and somehow making a save with his skate blade as he lay on his back. Then he has the awareness to follow the puck, while still on his behind, and snares the rebound with his glove resulting in the biggest applause of the night for him.
Deslauriers has the best seat in the house as Peckham and Duco drop the gloves for the second time tonight. They go at it about ten feet in front of the goal, and JDD doesn't even seem to yell encouragement. He doesn't shadow box either, but he gives Peckham a pat on the behind with his stick when it is over.
Next time I profile a goalie I'm only doing it in the shootout when I know he will be involved heavily. Just in case you didn't know, Deslauriers catches left handed and he definitely has the most copper-coloured gear of any Oiler goalie. I also notice he has a pink breast cancer ribbon on his mask and a name I can't make out. I will have to ask him after the game the significance of that. See I knew I'd find something that was blog worthy! (I didn't catch up with him in the room; I will get the answer at the skate tomorrow.)
He has now faced four shots this period, and three of them came in one flurry.
On a delayed penalty he takes three hard strides and then hears the whistle, but continues to the bench. He laughs with Dubnyk when he arrives at the bench. Who knows maybe they time his skate from the net to the bench?
On the ensuing PP he sits in the crouching positions for the first 39 seconds, then strides backwards and stands up. He repeats this throughout the PP.
Period ends and Deslauriers faced four shots. Tough job being a goalie sometimes, I should have covered him in the first when he faced 16 shots.
I'm not shadowing anyone. I will just enjoy the game. And in case you were wondering there were no breast flashers tonight.
Hemsky, Horcoff, Souray and Visnovsky start the extra frame, and 36 seconds in Visnovsky draws a penalty behind the Panther net. Penner and Schremp come out as the D-men stay. The Oil are two for six so far tonight.
They don't accomplish much. Hemsky comes back out and Ballard tries to stand him up at the blue line and gets a piece of him. Souray rushes in, tosses the gloves and starts chucking. This is the third fight tonight where an Oiler has rushed to defend a teammate. Clearly they want the message that if you touch their skilled players there will be consequences out there.
Souray gets the instigator and a major. They will play three-on-three for 1:01, and then Florida will finish the frame with an extra attacker.
Bryan McCabe gets booed every time he touches the puck in OT. Not sure why Oilers fans hate him so much. I guess they don't like overpaid, defensively-challenged D-men.
Shoot out
My Oiler picks, Horcoff, Schremp and Hemsky. The Panthers will go with Stillman, Horton and Zednik.
Horton goes first: he skates in fast, pulls it back and wrists it home.
Hemsky up: he walks in, goes to his backhand and scores. That might be the first time I've seen Hemsky go backhand on a shootout.
Peltonen walks in, gets to the slot, slides to his right but Deslauriers follows him across and makes the save (I didn't pick him. Clearly Peter Deboer should listen to me).
Schremp comes in slowly and goes to the same move as Monday, deke down low, and it works as he slides it home.
Stillman wheels in quickly and uses the Messier move, backhand five-hole on the ice to tie it at two.
Horcoff walks down the right side and snaps one off the pad of Beckford-Tseu
Zednik skates in goes to the back hand and Deslauriers slides across with the pad.
Pisani wheels in down the middle and fires wide and high.
McCabe to a chorus of boos: he comes in, does the leg kick deke and somehow squeaks it home. After scoring, he lifts his stick above his head and skates all the way back to the Panther bench pumping it straight in the air taunting the fans.
Penner: he walks in and dekes to his forehand, but Tseu goes with him and makes the save.
The Oilers are now 0¬–2 in shootouts this preseason.

I must say that the idea that the only "REAL BIKE RIDER" is a racer is pretty silly. Barry has chosen not to race, why is that such a problem for you?

[This post was originally written by site member Spin on March 5, 2008]
My partner once remarked that since an asexual person's love wasn't about sexual attraction, it must be something more real and deep. That with an asexual you knew you were loved for who you are.
Sorry hon–and I do really love you–but that ain't necessarily so. I can be shallow, too.
I've had more frivolous crushes than I can count on people I didn't even like, for the stupidest reasons. I've noticed people based on their appearance, their scent, the way they write their fours. I've had feelings for girls simply because I found out they liked girls too. I've been interested in boys because they used to be girls. I've liked people because I couldn't tell if they were a boy or a girl. I've fawned over men and women because they had a good singing voice or artistic skill, or because they were just so damned pretty I couldn't take my eyes off them. Yeah, I've seen people on the street I instantly wanted to drag home for. . .tea.
Most enduring for me are intellectual infatuations–crushes on people's brains, which sounds like a good enough reason for obsessing about someone, doesn't it? But I've fallen for total jerks because they were intelligent and articulate.
I'm not immune to shallowness, and asexuality doesn't make my love any more true or pure. Asexuality has always contributed to shyness about pursuing these attractions or being pursued, but I don't think I'd have made better or worse choices were I sexual.
Asexual people can love others for the wrong reasons, sexual attraction just isn't one of them. We are as prey as anyone to all the other human weaknesses; superficiality, vanity, pride, selfishness, loneliness, pity, curiosity, rivalry, you name it. We can be charmed or fooled, we can lie to ourselves, we can mislead and use and hurt other people. Our choices are not always good, our motivations are not always honest.
Just like anybody else.
A love so true?

CRESTVIEW � Former Laurel Hill School basketball player Brad Reese will soon welcome his second child, which puts his professional basketball career in perspective.The 6-foot-7-inch Reese, who now calls west Texas home during the basketball off-season, is in his third year of playing professional basketball in Europe. This year, he's a member of the Lapua, Finland team.
CRESTVIEW � Former Laurel Hill School basketball player Brad Reese will soon welcome his second child, which puts his professional basketball career in perspective.
The 6-foot-7-inch Reese, who now calls west Texas home during the basketball off-season, is in his third year of playing professional basketball in Europe. This year, he's a member of the Lapua, Finland team.
"Having a child is a great experience and another challenge for me," he said. "I just have to be there and be the best father I can be."
Reese was back home in Okaloosa County last week visiting his family as he recovers from a torn meniscus in his knee. He said his rehab is right on track to be back on the court in the next few weeks.
"It could have been worse," he said. "It could have been a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament), but I'm just trying to rehab and get back on the court. I miss the game dearly and I'm just trying to do all the right things the trainer says to me to get back."
Reese, who led the Hoboes to the 2006 Class 1A Final Four as a senior, was one of Lapua's top scorers before his injury.
"I played like 13 games and was averaging 19 points a game," he said. "I was playing really well. You hate for it to happen, but that's life, and I just want to get back to playing good ball like I did before.
"Hopefully I can return by the end of the season. If not, I'll just get ready for next season and go back in August. The ultimate goal is to get back as soon as possible, but I'll be ready for next season."
Having never suffered a serious injury before, the rehab routine has given Reese another look at life and the game he loves.
"The hardest thing is just dealing with it (the injury) and being out of basketball and just watching," he said. "You don't know what to do because all you know is basketball, so that's been my hardest thing."
If Reese starts to feel sorry for himself, all he has to do is look to his brother, Jeff, who had a career-ending heart attack while playing college basketball for Arkansas Tech last February.
"It's tough because I know he loves to play basketball like I do," Reese said. "For him, not to be able to play the game because of heart problems is tough ... and the family, too, because that's all he's been doing since he was a little kid. For me, it's tough to see him like this without basketball.
"I just told him that life is bigger than basketball. You are going to have to be a father to your kids and all that. Stuff is going to come along and you have to try and make the most of your life that you have now because tomorrow is not promised, so keep living like today is the day."
While at home, Reese caught up with some of his former Laurel Hill teachers. He also spent time with his sister, Grace, an eighth-grader on the Laurel Hill girls basketball team, who might just be the next Reese to make a name for herself.
"We are always talking," he said. " I wish I could be here more to try and help her out every day like I should. I just tell her to keep working.
"She has a chance to get better and be one of the better girls in the state. She already has the height (6-foot-3) and all she has to do is work on the fundamentals. I think when she gets better offensively and starts to score, she'll be really good."
Basketball has taken Reese far from Laurel Hill's rolling hills and knobby pines, exposing him to a world he once only dreamed of. In three years of playing ball in Europe, he has played for teams in Spain, the Czech Republic and now Finland.
Ultimately, he would like to play in the National Basketball Association. But if that never happens, he has no problem playing in Europe his entire career.
"My childhood dream is to play in the NBA and I'm going to chase it until I can't chase it no more," he said. "I really believe that if the right shot comes along, I'll get a chance. If not, I'll stay in Europe the rest of my career.
"Either way I think it will be good. You can't complain because you are still doing what you love for a living, and I get to see a part of the world I never thought I'd see."

Desert Hearts
Todd Haynes' "Carole" wasn't the first film to adapt a novel about love between an older and younger woman into a smart, stylish screen version. Donna Deitch accomplished the trick in 1985, turning Jane Rule's 1964 novel "Desert of the Heart" into a groundbreaking drama that presented what Deitch calls an "authentic" lesbian romance. What she means by this is that the story ends with hope for the couple, rather than with suicide and heterosexual marriage.
The story unfolds in 1959 on a ranch outside of Reno, Nevada, where Vivian (Helen Shaver), a professor at Colombia University, has come to stay for six weeks in order to get a divorce. Her marriage, to a fellow scholar, isn't unhappy; it's just unsatisfying. When Vivian meets Cay (Patricia Charbonneau), the 20-something adopted daughter of ranch owner Frances (Audra Lindley), she begins to grasp what it is she's yearning for. At the same time, Vivian makes friends with Frances' handsome son, Walter (Alex McArthur). Eventually, the jealous Frances grows so anxious and upset that she ejects Vivian from the property, but not before -- as the freewheeling Cay puts it -- Vivian has garlanded Cay's heart with "a string of lights."
Not that Vivian is the instigator. Cay makes no secret about her sexuality and entertains a parade of female guests in her private home on the ranch. (Walter, perhaps a little envious, declares himself amazed at the "traffic" that Cay attracts into her bedroom despite not having male "equipment" -- a remark that's both tellingly clueless and, in its backhanded way, supportive.) While many people in Cay's life are unfazed by her romantic attraction to other women -- such as best friend Silver (Andra Akers) and even, in his own clumsy way, boss and former lover Darrell (Dean Butler) -- Cay isn't feeling optimistic about her chances of meeting "someone who counts." What Vivian enters the picture, Cay pursues her with gentle determination, persisting despite Vivan's misgivings.
This Criterion Collection Blu-ray edition presents the film in a crisp and crystal-clear 4K transfer. There's a slate of extras: Deitch comments on the film in an audio track from 2007 (you have to select "audio" when you want to hear her comments, rather than the track being available as a continuous setting), and Deitch appears in conversation with openly lesbian "Glee" actor Jane Lynch, who describes the impact the film had on her as a young woman.
Ditch appears in another new interview segment, chatting with production designer Jeannine Oppewall and cinematographer Robert Elswit. Though Deitch had made several documentaries, "Desert Hearts" marked her feature film debut; the other two were similarly inexperienced; all three look back on the intoxicating and terrifying adventure of plunging into the project with fondness and nostalgia.
Shave and Charbonneau show up in a new segment of their own; interviewed separately, they both talk about the ease with which they tackled the teen-controversial material, concerned not with sexual politics but rather with the depth and emotional complexity of the story and characters. Novelist Jane Rule also appears, discussing the novel and her response to Deitch's request to make the book into a movie. (Essentially, Rule wasn't sure how well the book could be turned into a film, but told Ditch to go ahead and use whatever she wanted from the source material to realize her cinematic vision.)
Two short excerpts from a documentary about Jane Rule are also included, looking briefly at the issues around the novel's initial publication and the responses it generated -- some of which were unkind, to say the least, not to mention infuriatingly arrogant in their supposition of heteronormativity and their condescending pathologization of the LGBT community.
There's also a liner notes essay by film scholar B. Ruby Rich who, meditating on our fragile newfound freedoms, marvels at a strain of romanticism in the LGBT community for "the bad old days" -- "Call it a nostalgia for repression," she writes, before going on to examine the film, the context of the time in which it was made, and lesbian cartoonist Alison Bechdel's "test" for female-centric movies. ("[A] work of fiction must feature at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man, and the women must have names" -- surely not too much to ask for? And yet, there was a time when female representation in film routinely fell far short. Even today, despite "Bridesmaids" and "Bad Moms," films that posit female rebels against a backdrop of traditional roles, there is vast room for improvement on these scores.)

The film itself is the main event, however -- powerful, assured, and as liberating as the landscape in which it was shot.
