The Art Institute's collection of modern and contemporary art is one of the most comprehensive of any museum and includes two icons of 20th-century American art: Grant Wood's American Gothic and Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. The museum has a longstanding commitment to contemporary art, reflected in the 1913 decision to exhibit the Armory Show, the largest modernist, mostly European, art exhibition ever presented in America. The Art Intitute's extensive galleries present examples of abstraction from the early years of the 20th century by Vasily Kandinsky, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso to challenging contemporary works in a variety of media by artists such as Katharina Fritsch, Bruce Nauman, and Cindy Sherman.

Of all of the personalities to emerge from the Mutek affiliated Montreal electronic music scene which exploded onto the global stage at the turn of the millennium Scott Monteith, better known to audiences worldwide as Deadbeat, has unquestionably shown himself to be its most prolific and restless spirit. Through a steady stream of critically acclaimed singles and 7 studio albums for labels such as ~Scape, Echocord, Wagon Repair and most recently his own BLKRTZ imprint, and his genre defining Radio Rothko mix, which drew comparisons to some of the greatest mix CDs of all time (Richie Hawtin's Decks, EFX & 909 : Jeff Mills's Live at the Liquid Room), Monteith has established himself as perhaps Dub Techno's greatest champion. Yet anyone intimately familiar with said catalog could rightly accuse even that lofty title of being an over simplification. In a genre dominated by stoic reverence to the creative framework laid down by Mark Ernestus and Mortiz Von Oswald's Basic Channel and related projects of the mid 90s, Monteith has consistently charted his own course over the last 13 years, tearing up and re-writing the rule book several times over. Having burrowed to the very deepest depths of echo and dread of the Jamaican variety with last year's hypnotic Drawn and Quartered album, Deadbeat once again sets sail into uncharted waters with his latest hour long salvo, humbly entitled Eight.

In a recent column, you outlined aspects of the Durango Lifestyle, such as waving at every train. Just thought Id suggest another local phrase: clusterfrump, which is when a group of locals wearing really unfashionable clothes stand in the middle of the sidewalk gabbing and forcing other pedestrians to detour around them. Can you provide some other terms further defining the Durango lifestyle? Linda Conner, Hesperus
Outsiders say this town is difficult to classify. Yet everyone who lives here can pinpoint the local lifestyle to a T.
That means its perfectly normal to wear a T-shirt to work, dinner parties and weddings.
Some folks think this is a charming local custom. Others, however, see the Durango Lifestyle as oxymoronic with the prefix oxy not particularly necessary.
So to avoid further confusion, lets start a Durango Dictionary terms we can universally agree upon but that apply only locally.
Take the word dogmatic. Its the assumption that your dogs are automatically welcome everywhere you go, including classy restaurants, Home Depot or the Farmers Market.
Then, theres disenfranchised. Thats the feeling you get when voters reject a dubious fee agreement and you have to cut your budget by $900,000.
In Durango, animosity describes the feeling people along the Animas River corridor have toward the summer-long parade of obnoxious drunkards floating by on inner tubes.
What about raconteur? The Durango Dictionary reads thusly:
Raconteur (rakän tur) noun A person skilled at telling stories about epic adventures using all the sports equipment carried around on the roof rack of a Subaru.
We all have friends who are Wal-flowers.
These are people who smugly profess they dont shop at Walmart but slink into the store during off-hours and pretend not to see you if your paths cross in the toothpaste and cheap mouthwash aisle.
Howdy Duty isnt a red-haired wooden puppet on a kids TV show. Its a job description requiring workers to greet customers warmly as they come in the door.
Sadly, more than a few local clerks are too busy texting or talking with co-workers to perform their howdy duty.
Whats up with wacky tobacky? This is the common practice of pickup drivers backing into parking spaces. Can anyone explain how this saves time or effort?
Relocation is when things sour between a Realtor and his or her brokerage, and the agent immediately joins a competing firm.
Boulevard has a specific meaning in Durango.
Pronounced bully-vard, this word describes when residents of a tree-line street go to extreme lengths to preserve its historic character by vehement protesting tasteful commercial use of properties but allowing a host of rundown, dilapidated rental homes to sully the neighborhood.
Resign doesnt mean quitting ones job. Its when the Colorado Department of Transportation puts up a bunch of new signs to explain the signs they just put up.
Think of the expensive flashing yellow arrows that suddenly appeared. Theyre everywhere, but local drivers couldnt figure out what to do.
So even more money was spent on putting up additional signage saying what flashing yellow arrows mean.
And finally, we have disenchantment.
Disenchantment is the sinking feeling you get while driving to Farmington on the single-lane section of U.S. Highway 550 and you get stuck behind a car with New Mexico plates going 42 miles an hour with no opportunity to pass.
At this point, you accept the fact that your trip to the Land of Enchantment will take much longer than anticipated.
Email questions or your daffy-nitions to email@example.com or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 81301. You can request anonymity if can remember the last time you looked up a word in a printed version of a dictionary.

The AM General Hummer is loved almost as much as it is loathed in the popular mindset. Seen as an excessive extravagance and snub toward the environment by some, it also shows an example of big cars at their best. The AM General Hummer, at the very least, divides the car community in half.
The AM General Hummer originally rose from the AMC-Jeep General Products division as a military vehicle called the HMMVW. The prototype of the HMMVW appeared in 1981 before full production began in 1983. Highly successful as a military vehicle, a civilian model of the HMMVW began production in the late 1980s, but carried an expensive price tag, making it unattainable for most consumers. It boasts air-conditioning, more comfortable seating than its military predecessor, and a stereo system. The Hummer H1 model was produced in 1992.
AM General and GM Motors decided in 1999 to share production, advertisement, and distribution of the Hummer vehicles. In 2003, the Hummer H2, a smaller version of the original Hummer entered the market and subsequently received a nomination for North American Truck of the Year. The Hummer H3, the smallest of the Hummer line, debuted in 2005.
The AM General Hummer has a reputation for its stability in off-road conditions. Modified Hummers have been used for rally racing because of their control. Robby Gordon, the famous NASCAR driver, famously placed high in the Dakar Rally in a modified H3 Hummer. The wider frame of all the Hummer models give them a lower chance of overturning during quick maneuvers, placing it at an advantage over many SUV models.
Bad fuel economy results in common complaints about the Hummer, excluding the H3 model. The Hummers gross vehicle weight rating means it does not need evaluation by the EPA for gas consumption. However, independent testing of Hummer gas mileage has shown fuel consumption to be rather poor.
The weight of the Hummer models also allows tax payers breaks when purchasing the H2 model. Arnold Schwarzenegger famously promotes the Hummer model.
GM attempts to create a brand and a mindset around the Hummer line by selling toys, bikes, clothing apparel, and even cologne through the company website. The Hummer has been widely used in emergency situations during disasters. The Red Cross and the owners club, Hummer Owners Prepared for Emergencies (HOPE), promote this effort jointly.
The manufacturer announced the 2012 Hummer H4 as far back as 2008, however it never began production. The prototype of the 2012 H4 represents a smaller, fuel efficient substitute for the Hummer H2 and Hummer H3T models. A shaky economy and less than stellar market performance by the Hummer brand results in all plans for 2012 Hummer models and future Hummer concepts (including a plug-in hybrid model) being put on hold. The company went bankrupt in 2009 and announced the end of the Hummer brand in February 2010. The last Hummer H3T to come off the production line ceased in 2010 after one and a half years on the market.
The company assets went up for sale in 2010, but no one bit the offer. Discounts and rebates for the general public attempt to move the remaining vehicles produced by the company.
Several Hummer models have been produced by AM General and GM since 1992.
The first model, the Hummer H1, saw production from 1992 to 2006, before the brand discontinued it in favor of the H2 model. It offers a convertible softtop option, a hardtop option, and a slant back option with four doors. It gets attention for its stability, but also its poor performance in crash tests, terrible fuel economy, and high price.
The H2, a smaller version of the original Hummer H1, remains larger than a standard truck. It debuted in 2003. The H2 sits high off the ground on oversized tires with the famous Hummer rims. The brand introduced a special black version in 2009 just before the company went bankrupt.
The Hummer H3 debuted in 2005 as the smallest Hummer model, weighing in around the SUV range. It marks the first model produced exclusively by the GM company as part of AM General's buyout. The H3, although smaller than its counterparts, is still capable of on-road and off-road driving.
The H3T, a hybrid between the H3 and a pickup truck, entered the market for the 2009 and 2010 model years. The H3T has a five-foot bed and still boasts off-road capabilities. The H3T, although showing promise, ceased production after the company shut down all production of the Hummer Brand. A hybrid H3 that gets 100 miles to the gallon as a prototype, offered up a concept in early 2009, but never reached production.
2000 AM General Hummer
SUV, Utility/Offroad
General Motors manufactures the 2000 AM General Hummer under the AM General brand.
1999 AM General Hummer
Introduced to the civilian population in 1992, the AM General Hummer brings all the qualities appreciated by the military to a vehicle for off-road enjoyment by the regular Joe.
1998 AM General Hummer
The 1998 AM General Hummer is a repurposed version of the military's M998 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV).
1997 AM General Hummer
The 1997 AM General Hummer is a repurposed version of a military vehicle developed for the civilian market.
1995 AM General Hummer
The 1995 AM General Hummer H1, like all other civilian Hummers, quite literally rolled right off the same Indiana assembly line as the United States military's Humvee combat vehicles.

I've bought a 2009 Durance, and it arrived earlier today.
Required a little assembly , but nothing major.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to view or test the bike before buying, but the previous owner assured me everything was in good working order.
The Monolink pivot assembly has alot of play in it, and I mean alot.
Returning the bike would be a hassle I don't really want to go through.
Can anyone comment on the pivot bearings and the amount of play etc.
Is it a case of taking the pivot / monolink out and replacing the bearings?
Anyone have the bearing size / reference numbers - I suppose I can get them from a bearing supplier, but if they are special to the Durance, then where can I get them (I'm in the UK).

Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories – Christmas CardsDecember 4, 2009 at 23:44 | Posted in Carnival of Genealogy | Leave a comment
Tags: Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories, Carnival of Genealogy, Christmas, famiglia, family, Holiday Spirit, memories, Presepi
Every year we would write out Christmas Cards. My mother would hang them on windows or doors to show them off. A few times she also used a small mailbox to hold them but then they would be tucked inside so that wasn't as much fun. Often she would stand them opened on cabinets to be seen too. She always was organized with lists that she had checked off who sent the year before or not. After all she was writing out a couple hundred to family, friends, neighbors, and dad's clients and business associates too! When dad retired, the list shortened as it did as postage began the creep upwards in price.
I remember getting wonderful cards from my grandmother every year. She loved to write letters and send cards every chance she got so at Christmas she would send us each our own special cards. The tradition carried on as my children were born too. Over the years although I tried to save them, most were destroyed in floods from a hurricane!
Now each year I sit and write out my own cards, usually Thanksgiving weekend. Like my mother, I prefer to have them in the mail by the first of December – I figure they're fun to enjoy all month that way! As I receive our cards, I have tape ready and hang them on a door for everyone to see and read and enjoy. They become part of our decorations!
My favorites are from friends that I haven't seen in years but still gab with on the phone or write to semi-often. We have been friends since childhood and it is wonderful to reminisce together!
The two cards here are from a nephew and his family in Italy. I have saved them because he and the family are so precious to us! The yellow card is a fantastic one that plays a Christmas Carol when it is opened! The other is an elegant postcard with such a gorgeous picture.

There's a joke that first made the rounds way back when they still used abacuses to do arithmetic:
Boy: I hate homework.
Mom: But why?
Boy: Because it's no fun.
Mom: Of course not, dear. That's why they call it work.
Ba-da bum. Okay, we know homework won't ever be the highlight of anybody's evening. But that doesn't mean it has to be strictly a hold-your-nose-and-plow-through activity, either.
That's why we've created a guide to helping your child do well, plus tips on making the nightly must-do a positive experience for everyone -- Mom and Dad most definitely included.
6 Tricks to Happier Homeworking
1. Foster a We're-in-This-Together Vibe
"Do your homework as your child does his," advises Trevor Romain, author of How to Do Homework Without Throwing Up. "If you have checks to write or e-mails to respond to, you're role-modeling by just sitting and doing it." Plus, if he needs help, you'll be there.
2. Divide and Conquer
"I wish I could be the one with the great math skills, but I don't think it's in the cards," says Andrea Tomkins of Ottawa, Ontario. Instead, Tomkins helps her fourth-grader with subjects she is good at (English, French, and social studies), while her husband takes math and science. "It makes the process more pleasant."
3. Let Him Take the Lead
Sometimes, asking your child to explain what he does know about a subject or problem can help him figure it out. When he comes up with something, "remark on it, so that your child feels encouraged," says Joan Rooney, a vice president at Tutor.com, an online tutoring resource.
4. Dangle the Carrot
When your child is this close to the answer but it's just not clicking, say, "I know you don't have the solution yet, but what do you think it might be?" suggests Romain. Or, "Is there a different way we can come up with it?" Ideally, you won't give him the answer, but you'll help him reach for it.
5. Remember Your Goal
It's not only to help but also to let your kid know that you're there for her. So while you generally want her to work things out for herself, Rooney advises parents not to withhold the answer if frustration is making her hate you and hate the subject and hate the world. Your relationship is much more important.
6. Know When to Quit
If either of you is threatening to disown the other, ask your spouse to step in, or limit your involvement. "This doesn't mean you have to walk away from a struggling child," says Rooney; offer to help Google things, be a sounding board, or find someone better equipped to assist her directly.
Get-it-Done Tips... from Moms Like You
"My seven-year-old and I put all his assignments, practices, and after-school activities on a dry-erase board that we fill out together. After that, I'll remind him by asking, 'Is there anything due?' but it's his responsibility to keep track." --Holly Rigsby, Louisville, KY
"Our rule is that homework is done at a certain time and place -- in our case, at the kitchen table. That way, there's no room for 'Awww, Mom!' It's just something that happens. No big deal." --Blue Hill, Prosperity, SC
"I explain to my son that if he does not do his homework, we'll have to tell the teacher. He usually gets on board." --Kristin Fitch, Virginia Beach, VA
"We try to see the positive side of homework. We tell our daughter that it's helping her learn and get ahead." --Andrea Tomkins, Ottawa, Ontario
How to Unstick a Stuck Kid
When some kids hit a block, they're quick to decide that a particular subject is not their thing and stop trying. Your instinct, of course, is to say, "That's not true! If at first you don't succeed..." If your child is beyond a certain level of despair, however, that's not likely to work, says Sam Goldstein, Ph.D., the coauthor of several books, including Raising a Self-Disciplined Child.
"The probability that you're going to change that mind-set in that moment is low," he says. "The script is already all laid out: 'I can't.' 'Yes, you can. Just try.' 'I did try.'" Instead, consider coming at your child with empathy. Say something like this: "It sounds like when you look at this homework, you just feel overwhelmed. Nobody likes that. So what do you want to do?"
Goldstein says that, often, your child just wants to be heard, and she knows she has to do the work. If she proposes not doing it, remind her that's not a valid long-term choice, and tell her she can either give it a go by herself or with your help, since you'd be glad to give her a hand. Seeing that you get how she's feeling, she might involve you further. "Once she's asking you for your input, you can suggest, 'Maybe you can try it this different way,'" says Goldstein. Then, if you both do your best but still can't seem to move forward, jot a note to the teacher explaining that your child needs extra attention, so she is in the loop, too.
Keep It Real
True-to-life examples and goofy games can make a concept come alive. A few ideas we love:
If he's having trouble memorizing a poem, try setting it to the tune of a song he knows.
Hit the kitchen when you're doing math. "Fruits or cakes are good for fractions, hold kids' interest, and make great rewards," says Tutor.com's Joan Rooney.
Make a fool of yourself. "When my son was younger and having difficulty remembering spelling, I would actually stand up and act out letters that he missed as he spelled the word out loud," recalls Rooney. "Seeing a parent pretending to be a 'b' can stay in a child's memory a long time."
When to Call in the Cavalry
You've probably wondered about that educational center that cropped up at the shopping plaza in town. Can it help kids with learning disabilities? Are places like this worth the money? "They each have their own philosophy, and there are pros and cons to each," says Leslie Rapchik-Ruiz, a learning specialist in New York City. Which one, if any, to pick depends on your child's temperament, learning style, and needs, not to mention what you can afford. No matter where you go, advises Rapchik-Ruiz, make sure the instructors are state certified or have a master's degree in teaching -- there is no official certification for tutors, and you don't want to get stuck with someone under-qualified.
Option: Sylvan Learning Centers $50-$55/hr in person, $55/hr online
The Deal: Personalized help with all subjects, test prep, and study skills in groups of no more than three students. Another option: live, online tutoring done from home.
Who Might Benefit: "A child having trouble in a specific subject," says Rapchik-Ruiz. In her opinion, Sylvan is best suited for a child who is no more than a grade level behind and perhaps not super motivated, rather than a kid who is doing quite poorly or one looking to be challenged.
Option: Kaplan Tutoring $60-$75/hr one-on-one; $45-$55/hr groups; $29/mo online
The Deal: One-on-one or small-group tutoring, a reading-intervention program for learning-disabled kids, and an online option.
Who Might Benefit: A motivated kid having a little difficulty learning. "If a child is completely bogged down with services such as occupational or speech therapy already, it may not be a good thing," says Rapchik-Ruiz, because Kaplan can be intense. Ditto for a kid already buried in homework or activities.
Option: Kumon Math & Reading Centers $85-$115/mo per subject
The Deal: Launched in Japan, Kumon is a program in which kids learn and practice math and reading skills, building slowly and incrementally on what they already know.
Who Might Benefit: Kids who get into beating their own records and are not fearful of being timed, says Rapchik-Ruiz. Part of the goal is to make their skills automatic. "First- and second-graders tend to love worksheets, and there are a lot of them," she says. Self-starters will benefit the most.
Option: Private Tutor Rates vary
The Deal: One-on-one meetings at least once a week to tackle trouble spots. Tutors should have references and state teacher certification, or a master's in education.
Who Might Benefit: Almost anyone. "Anytime there's a positive relationship with an adult educator, that's pretty motivating," says Rapchik-Ruiz. This is also a good option if your child has special needs, such as a reading disability. "You can get a lot done in a short amount of time."
Option: Homework Helper From free (some people volunteer) to around $25/hr
The Deal: A high school, college, or graduate student -- perhaps one thinking about an education career-meets with your child to help her out, as often as can be arranged.
Who Might Benefit: A child whose parents are unable to help because they work late or English is not their first language.

Whisky Review: Wiser's Special Blend Canadian Whisky
Posted by Arctic Wolf on May 22, 2010
I noticed a change on the new bottles of Wiser's Special Blend about two years ago. The older bottles proudly proclaimed, 'Wiser's Special Blend Canadian Rye Whisky', whereas the newer labels say 'Wiser's Special Blend Canadian Whisky'. The difference of course is the word "rye" which has been taken off the label. It is small changes like that which give me cause for apprehension. I like rye whisky, and as the number of Canadian rye blends is diminishing, I am growing concerned that my favourite whisky will one day be only a memory. Fortunately for me, I was recently given a bottle with the new label by the folks at Wiser's in the hopes that I would provide an honest review of the Special Blend. It so happens that I already owned a bottle carrying the previous label so I intend to compare the two bottles to see if the blend as well as the label has changed.
Here is an excerpt from my review:
"…In the glass, the Wiser's Special Blend shows itself as a rich copper coloured whisky with lighter shades of amber. The vapour from the glass is mildly spicy, and seems to be sweetened with an aroma of ripe fruit. Light hints of caramel lie in the breezes as well…"

SKF sponsors final's arena for Gothia Cup
2014 tháng bảy 08, 09:00 CEST
Gothenburg, Sweden, 8 July 2014: SKF today announced that the company will extend its cooperation with Gothia Cup and sponsor this year's final arena fans. Thanks to the close proximity of the spectator stands to the field, it offers the audience a more intimate experience of the games.
"SKF has had a close cooperation with Gothia Cup since 2006 and this year we felt that we wanted to expand the cooperation, in celebration of Gothia Cup's 40th anniversary.

Jenny is in perpetual search for easy, weeknight recipes to attempt to feed her family. When they balk, she just eats more.
Like many Americans, or humans, I do not find work the best part of my week.
That's not to say I don't enjoy spending my days trying to suss out exactly who is trying to end Medicare as we know it, or pondering the relative merits of the 16 individuals running for the second Congressional seat in Utah. But all things considered, I'd rather be planting Thai basil.
Exception alert! Once every other month or so, a group of us get together at the office for a lunch time potluck. Sometimes we exchange cookies (December) or cook dishes composed of three ingredients picked blindly (March). Or, we just cook whatever.
There is zero professional hierarchy at food club -- the big boss was once shut out because he failed to make his dish, and the youngest colleagues often make the meanest soups. People who fight bitterly over semicolons and filing times during the rest of the month are the warmest of buddies when bonding over proper pie crust methods.
During these all-too-infrequent lunches, my colleagues and I discuss what we are eating, what we once ate, and what we hope to be eating someday soon. Work life, for an hour, fades to blue.
A newcomer once attempted to rehash the McCain campaign of 2008, and was shown scorn. Food club has no room for office gossip, or chatter about current events, because we could all be doing that back at our desk, with a sad bag of ginger snaps from the vending machine.
This month, we all were charged with making a dish inspired by a book. Pressed into the reading The Hunger Games by my 13-year-old, I happened upon lamb stew. As the title indicates, people are hungry in this novel, and those who are offered hearty stew become exceedingly pleased.
While the book's stew involved plums, I chose my inspiration from New Mother's Magic Elixir (Lamb Stew) because the recipe just read satisfying and warm, something I'd probably fortify myself with before running off to the woods to ice my peers.
If you start with the very best lamb you can get your hands on, you've won half the game. Sear your meat, not crowding it -- I doubled this recipe and you should too because you will want some to freeze. Then come the veggies, and then your herbs complete with the secret, magical ingredient: star anise. You must have this to make it. No. No. You can't substitute. Stop asking me.
I did use a Chianti instead of Cahors if that makes you feel better. But you should probably use whatever wine MrsWheelbarrow says. She knows things.
If you run out of time after you've been cooking for a while, add the potatoes later, as I did. I also threw my peas in the hot mix and they "cooked" in the dutch oven in the back of my car just fine as I made my way to work.
When lunch time rolled around and we settled into our seats in the well-worn, dank conference room, S.S. and J.C. began by reading from Moby Dick. We all tucked into their respective chowders and deadlines, smart phones and pests of all nature faded.
A young news clerk told us about her delicious chocolate chip cookies, inspired by a favorite childhood picture book and served with ice cold milk. A.P. waxed about E.B. White and H.C. served up a Bloody Mary (at lunch! during the week!) and read dramatically from Twilight. S.M. spoke of Russia. We ate eggplant and curry and banana jam and apple crisp and a thick toffee pudding. We read some more.
And then, we washed our dishes and went back to work.
New Mother's Magic Elixir (Lamb Stew) by MrsWheelbarrow
Serves 6
3+ tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds lamb, cut into 2" cubes, preferably from the shoulder
1/4 cup flour
4 tablespoons butter
18 pearl onions, peeled (or use frozen)
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
4 medium carrots, cut in 1" dice
2 celery stalks, cut in 1" dice
6 stalks thyme
2 stalks rosemary
10 stalks flat leaf parsley
1 bay leaf
1 star anise
1.5 cups red wine (I like to use Cahors)
4 cups rich broth, preferably from roasted lamb bones, but chicken stock can be substituted
2 cups Russet potato, cut in 1" dice
1 cup freshly picked peas, or frozen petite peas
Salt & pepper
Garnish: preserved lemon rind, fresh horseradish, minced flat leaf parsley

In what many in the media described as the first set of clouds in Pope Francis' sunny pontificate, a United Nations committee on Feb. 5 published a damning report on the Holy See's record on sexual abuse, demanding that it turn over secret files and condemning it for putting the preservation of its reputation before the welfare of children. Yet within two days, the story had turned, as critics asked why the United Nations had chosen to ignore the evidence given it by the Holy See last month, and what its true agenda was.
The human rights committee that issued the report is tasked with holding signatories of the U.N.'s Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) to account for implementing its provisions. The Holy See makes its way to Geneva every four years — as one of 193 countries — to give a progress report and answer questions.
This year, the Holy See sent its delegate Italian Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, together with Maltese Archbishop Charles Scicluna (who, until recently, was the Vatican's leading expert on the issue), to the Jan. 16 hearing. The delegates answered the committee's questions robustly, gave detailed evidence about the steps taken by the Holy See to promote best practices and described the sea change in attitudes that had taken place in the Church worldwide and the Vatican in particular.
"The Holy See gets it, let's not say too late," said Archbishop Scicluna.
The committee appeared to be impressed, and commentators anticipated that its report would congratulate the Holy See on its transformation but press it to go further in certain key areas.
Yet when it came out, the report treated the Holy See and the Church as a retrograde corporation, accusing it of "systematically" adopting polices that allowed priests to rape and molest thousands of children over decades, and demanded that the Vatican "immediately remove" all clergy suspected of abuse.
"The Committee is gravely concerned that the Holy See has not acknowledged the extent of the crimes committed, has not taken the necessary measures to address cases of child sexual abuse and to protect children, and has adopted policies and practices which have led to the continuation of the abuse by and the impunity of the perpetrators," the report said. It also faulted the Vatican for its teachings on abortion, homosexual activity and contraception.
Critics were quick to point out that not only had the report ignored the evidence that the Church was a transformed institution, but that it profoundly misunderstood the relationship of the Holy See to the worldwide Catholic Church, treating it as if it were the head office of a multinational corporation. They also described the attempt to impose an ideology of sexuality and gender as irrelevant to the Rights of the Child and a violation of essential religious freedoms. To some, it looked as if the Vatican had been ambushed.
Initially, the Holy See responded diplomatically, promising to submit the report to a "thorough study and examination" while regretting "an attempt to interfere with Catholic Church teaching on the dignity of the human person and in the exercise of religious freedom." But the following day, noting the mounting indignation, Vatican officials opted to come out swinging.
The report had ignored "the clear and precise explanations that were given to the committee in the encounter that the delegation of the Holy See had with the committee three or four weeks ago," objected Archbishop Tomasi, who noted its "negative approach" and failure to take into account the fact that the Holy See's spiritual authority over the worldwide Church did not extend to legal jurisdiction. He was referring to calls made by the U.N. committee, for example, for the Vatican to change the curriculum of Catholic schools, when this was a matter for local bishops.
The Vatican's spokesman, Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, was even fiercer. The committee members went "beyond their competence and interfered in the doctrinal and moral positions of the Catholic Church," he said, making suggestions that reveal an "ideological vision of sexuality." He criticized the report's "serious limitations," above all its failure to take into account the responses — both written and oral — given by representatives of the Holy See before and during the Geneva hearing on Jan. 16. The report, he said Feb. 7, appears to have been "practically already written, or at least already in large part blocked out before the hearing."
Father Lombardi said the committee had ignored the point that priests and bishops are subject to the laws of their own nations.
"Is this impossible to understand, or do they not want to understand it?" he asked. "In both cases, one has a right to be surprised."
Father Lombardi added that the tone of the criticism and the specific cases cited suggested that the committee "gave much greater attention to well-known organizations" representing victims than to the testimony of Vatican representatives.
"These organizations typically do not want to recognize how much the Holy See and the Church have done in recent years to recognize errors, renew norms and develop measures for formation and prevention," Father Lombardi said.
In interviews, the committee's chair, Kristen Sandberg, suggested that the Vatican's responses had been vague and that they couldn't be confident of what had been actually implemented.
"We heard during the dialogue a lot of promising things, but we have not been quite sure that they are still going on," she told the BBC, suggesting that the committee, faced with the evidence, had simply chosen not to believe the Holy See delegates. The committee had taken the viewpoint not just of abuse survivors' lawyers, but of highly ideological lobbies such as the London-based Child Rights International Network (CRIN), whose director is on the executive committee of the CRC's NGO group. CRIN's mission is to expose and combat sexual violence in religious institutions, which, on its website it makes clear, it regards as arcane, unaccountable and with entrenched power structures that pose a risk to minors. In the run-up to the mid-January Geneva hearing, CRIN was busy organizing a campaign against the Holy See, releasing to the media the findings of its own report, entitled "Child Sexual Abuse and the Holy See: the need for justice, accountability and reform." Placed side by side, comparing their accusations, assumptions and demands, the CRIN report and the U.N. committee's look virtually identical. Father Lombardi's suspicions — that the report was cast in stone before the hearing — look amply justified.
The Holy See was among the first to sign the Convention in 1990. In its first report on its progress, in 1995, the committee made no mention whatsoever of abuse in the Catholic Church, which was then coming to light in press reports and lawsuits. The committee itself appears to have had little awareness of the issue back then. How ironic that in 2014, having played no part in the Church's reforms in this area, the committee should treat the Church — which is a transformed institution and regarded now as a civil-society leader in this area — as if it were still 1995.
Despite the injustices, Father Lombardi made it clear that the Holy See would remain a convention signatory and committed to "fulfilling the requirements of the treaty."
At least next time it will be prepared.

Def Leppard Covers Its Own Songs With 'Forgeries' To Fight Back Against Universal Music
from the well,-that's-one-way-to-do-things dept
With newly recorded "forgeries" of "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and "Rock of Ages" now available, the quintet has begun a series of re-recordings of its catalog material and "wrestled control of our career back" from the Universal Music Group, which frontman Joe Elliott says the band refuses to deal with "until we come up with some kind of arrangement" over compensation, especially for digital downloads.Of course, you'd have to imagine that someone else still holds the publishing rights, but if the new "forgeries" -- which apparently take quite some time to get exactly right -- sell well, the band could end up keeping a much larger share of the money. Either way, this seems like yet another story in a very, very long line of such stories, of bands reporting on the many ways in which the major labels have screwed them over. Makes you wonder if there are any acts who feel they weren't screwed over by their major label...
"When you're at loggerheads with an ex-record label who...is not prepared to pay you a fair amount of money and we have the right to say, 'Well, you're not doing it,' that's the way it's going to be," Elliott tells Billboard.com. "Our contract is such that they can't do anything with our music without our permission, not a thing. So we just sent them a letter saying, 'No matter what you want, you are going to get "no" as an answer, so don't ask.' That's the way we've left it. We'll just replace our back catalog with brand new, exact same versions of what we did."

Unfortunately, 9 to 10 percent of those acres showed some degree of crop injury, due to a variety of reasons ranging from cool, wet weather to soil texture to under- or overapplication. Rob Schrick, market manager for Rhone-Poulenc, says the company is handling every farmer concern on a case-by-case basis. Most injury, according to Schrick, occurred in field pockets where the active ingredient was not metabolized within the corn plant as quickly as usual due to various factors. Look for new label recommendations this fall.

Box Score - Game 1
Box Score - Game 2
Courtesy Wheaton Sports Information
NORTON, Mass. - Wheaton College's softball team banged out 24 hits and stole 14 bases as the Lyons extended their winning streak to five games behind a pair of five-inning victories over MIT, 10-1 and 9-0, in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play on Tuesday at Clark Field. Wheaton, which has won four straight via the mercy rule, improved to 13-9 overall and 5-1 in the league, while the Engineers fell to 1-11 and 0-4.
Lyons' senior Jessica DePolito and junior Alix Brozman each went 5-for-6 during the doubleheader, as DePolito had three extra-base hits and six RBI, while Brozman stole five bases in as many attempts. Each was key in the opener as the Lyons broke out on top with two runs in the first. Senior Nicole Lachance and Brozman both singled to lead off the game, and DePolito doubled them home one out later. Brozman also scored in the third to put Wheaton up, 3-0.
The Engineers attempted to jump-start a rally in the fourth inning, as junior Amanda Poteet launched MIT's first home run of the year to bring the visitors to within 3-1. However, the Lyons tallied seven runs on five hits and three errors in the bottom of the frame. Brozman had an RBI single, two steals and a run during the inning, while DePolito smacked a run-scoring double. Sophomore Brady Benton had an RBI double in the inning, while freshman Merry MacDonald also brought home a run.
Junior Jodi Moynagh, who tossed a perfect game on Sunday, struck out eight while walking two and allowing three hits in five innings to earn the victory for Wheaton. Poteet's home run ended Moynagh's streak of 20.2 innings without yielding an earned run. Brozman finished 3-for-3 with three runs and three steals, while DePolito was 2-for-3 with three RBI. Junior Erika Marini also doubled.
For MIT, junior Leah Bogsted took the loss after allowing only three earned runs in four innings on 10 hits while striking out four and walking none.
In the nightcap, Wheaton stole nine bases and recorded 14 hits. The Lyons started strong in game two with five first-inning runs on six hits and two errors. DePolito, junior Meredith Gorton and sophomore Stacey Kelleher each had RBI singles during the inning, while Benton provided a sacrifice fly. Three more runs came home the following inning, as Lachance led off with a double and later scored on Kelleher's single, and DePolito lined a two-run homer off the left field foul pole. It was her fifth home run in the last seven games. Benton plated the Lyons' final run in the fourth, as she stole home.
DePolito had another big game by going 3-for-3 with three RBI and two runs, while junior Audrey Poulton added a 3-for-3 effort. DePolito is now alone in fifth in program history with 16 career home runs. Kelleher was 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBI, while Brozman and Gorton each had two-hit games. Benton and Brozman both stole two bags, while Lachance scored twice.
In the circle, freshman Andrea Bagley tossed her third shutout of the year for Wheaton after allowing four singles in five innings while striking out six and walking one. Poteet took the loss for MIT after allowing all nine runs, including eight earned, on 14 hits in four innings. She also went 2-for-2 at the plate.
The Cardinal and Gray will return to the diamond on Thursday, Apr. 5, when it will host non-conference foe Regis College at 3:00 p.m. The Lyons will return to action on Friday, Apr. 6, when they will host Babson College in an important early-season NEWMAC doubleheader. Second-place Wheaton faces the first-place Beavers, who won the last two league tournament titles.

Edwards Tries but Can't Hide He's a Contender
Perhaps Carl Edwards figures jumping off tall buildings or strapping himself into F-16 fighter jets for flights of fancy will be distracting to others, making them forget for a moment that he's proving himself a legitimate contender to take away Jimmie Johnson's Sprint Cup crown.
It is not working, however, with Jack Roush. The owner of Edwards' No. 99 Ford that swept to victory in last Sunday's Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway apparently had no idea that Edwards recently took a 108-story plunge off the Stratosphere Casino, Hotel and Tower.
"What did you do?" the boss wanted to know.
"I jumped off the Stratosphere," a smiling Edwards replied. "You may be the only person in all of Las Vegas who doesn't know I jumped off the Stratosphere. It's a tall building downtown."
Roush still didn't get it.
"Were you in a balloon?" he asked.
"No, I was tied to a cable," Edwards said. "You can see Jack is really concerned about me."
This prompted Roush to remind Edwards of the time two years ago when his driver broke a foot while playing Ultimate Frisbee. That was bad enough, he intoned.
"I can't imagine what my impression would be if you cracked your head or something," Roush added.
Championship mettle
Forgive Edwards if he's more nervous about being anointed the heir apparent to Johnson's throne than he was about jumping off a tall building. He's been there, done that -- and it didn't work out too well for him.
Coming off a 2008 season in which he won a series-high nine races, including three of the past four, Edwards was the obvious and hot choice to knock off Johnson coming into the 2009 season. Instead, he failed to win a single race and struggled to an 11th-place finish in the standings as Johnson cruised to the fourth of what is now five championships in a row.
That's why Edwards practically begged folks not to install him as this season's chic pick to end Five Time's reign after his No. 99 Ford claimed victory in each of the 2010 season's final two races. The first win at Phoenix last fall broke a 70-race winless streak filled with frustration that was the longest of Edwards' Cup career.
But now he's won three of the past five Cup races, dating back to last year. No matter how many tall buildings he dives from, or how many fighter jets he flies in (he took part in that little side event at Nellis Air Force Base just down the road from LVMS last Thursday), Edwards knows what is next on the expectation meter if he keeps this up.
He won at Vegas in 2008, too, by the way. But that win was tainted by the fact that his car was found in post-race technical inspection to have undergone an "unauthorized aerodynamic modification." He was docked 100 driver points, dropping him from first to seventh in the standings at the time. And when the Chase commenced, he was denied the 10 bonus points that would have come as the result of the victory for seeding purposes.
Asked Sunday the difference between then and now, Edwards deadpanned: "We're making it through tech, aren't we?"
The big picture
Yet Edwards knew the question everyone really wanted answered Sunday is whether 2011 will be different than 2008 when it comes to the really big picture. He doesn't know the answer yet, of course, but he does like where his team seems to be headed.
"I guess the biggest difference between then and now from my perspective is that I feel like I have a better understanding of how the sport works," Edwards said. "I am more prepared to use these fast race cars and do a better job to try to win this championship.
"That's something Jack and I have talked a lot about over the years. There is definitely a process to becoming the best you can be at this level because all the guys are so savvy. I feel I am in a better position to get all the points we can and all the wins we can this year."
Sunday's win was especially sweet because Edwards thought he had the car to beat a week earlier in Phoenix, only to have Kyle Busch inadvertently wreck him and ruin his day. That came on the heels of finishing second to winner Trevor Bayne in the season-opening Daytona 500.
"This is the best start to a season that I have ever had and you know Daytona could have gone either way. There was a lot of luck involved in our good finish at Daytona," Edwards said. "Phoenix was a very strong performance from everyone, but we had bad luck there. I felt [Sunday in Vegas] we had a solid top-three car all day. Those are three different types of tracks with success on all three, so I am really excited about the season. This is a great start."
Roush tempered all the enthusiasm with a gentle reminder that it is so very early in the season. So please, don't start with the championship talk just yet, he pleaded -- even as he reluctantly admitted to the sweet possibilities of this season himself.
"It is way too early to be thinking championship," Roush said. "We can't make a misstep and keep our eye on the ball. We can't squander the opportunity we have now that we are running better than we did last year. It certainly feels more like 2008, even better."
In the meantime, the boss might want to warn Edwards, who celebrates each win (when he's not nursing a broken foot) with a backflip, to tone down the off-the-track antics. Then again, why start now? Edwards has always been an active, out-of-the-box type of guy away from the track and Roush always has had the same message about that aspect of his driver's life.
"Each time I've had some kind of injury, it was pretty much the same from Jack: 'If you're going to be dumb, you've got to be tough.' That's all he said. You don't get a lot of sympathy from Jack," Edwards said.
Which is why Edwards figured it was best to keep Roush in the dark about the jump off the top of the Stratosphere, a stunt aimed at drumming up publicity for last Sunday's race. "I don't think there were going to be any minor injuries if something went wrong with this one," Edwards joked.
Nothing did, and so far -- despite the hiccup a week earlier at Phoenix -- not much else has for the latest legitimate championship contender in the Cup Series.

A's silence doubters once again with division title in '13
OAKLAND -- Perhaps there was never any way for the A's to top the magic of a 2012 season that saw them shock the world and win their division on the final day of the regular season. But they sure did try.
2013 brought about just as much success for the underdog A's, whose encore performance included two more wins than the 94 tallied a year before. It also ended the same way: a Game 5 loss to Justin Verlander and the Tigers in the American League Division Series.
OAKLAND -- Perhaps there was never any way for the A's to top the magic of a 2012 season that saw them shock the world and win their division on the final day of the regular season. But they sure did try.
2013 brought about just as much success for the underdog A's, whose encore performance included two more wins than the 94 tallied a year before. It also ended the same way: a Game 5 loss to Justin Verlander and the Tigers in the American League Division Series.
Disappointment from that decisive affair perhaps temporarily clouded the memorable moments that came before it. But as the calendar flips, it's worth taking a look back at the top storylines that defined the A's year:
5. Beane goes shopping
General manager Billy Beane acted swiftly in his quest to improve a 96-win club that fell just one win short of a trip to the AL Championship Series. Before the year was even over, Oakland's general manager had already applied quite the makeover to his roster, flooding the offseason transaction wire in a frenzied 10-day span in December. First came the signing of Scott Kazmir to a two-year, $22 million contract, the largest ever given to a pitcher by the low-budget A's. Closer Jim Johnson, who has totaled 101 saves in the last two years, arrived just hours later via a trade with the Orioles, who got second baseman Jemile Weeks and catcher David Freitas in return. These moves rectified the losses of All-Stars Bartolo Colon and Grant Balfour, but Beane still wasn't done.
The wheeling and dealing continued with the acquisition of speedy outfielder Craig Gentry from the Rangers, at the cost of top outfield prospect Michael Choice. Seth Smith then left for the Padres, so that the A's could call setup man Luke Gregerson theirs. Beane remained busy at the Winter Meetings just days later, trading away hurlers Brett Anderson and Jerry Blevins in two separate moves, getting a handful of youngsters in return: pitchers Drew Pomeranz and Chris Jensen from the Rockies and outfield prospect Billy Burns from the Nationals.
4. Ageless Colon enjoys All-Star season
Beane's decision to bring back Colon on another one-year deal, just months after the right-hander was slapped with a 50-game drug suspension, was understandably met with much skepticism. Colon was to be 40 in May, and why trust that he could not only pitch at that age but do it without the help of performance-enhancing drugs? The 17-year veteran proceeded to go 18-6 with a 2.65 ERA, striking out 117 and walking 29 in 190 1/3 innings. He made 30 starts and earned an All-Star nod for the first time since 2005.
Those efforts led to a nice pay day for Colon, who left the A's as a free agent and signed with the Mets for two years and $20 million.
3. It's always Sonny in Oakland
Sonny Gray was a first-round Draft pick for a reason, but it seems no one could have predicted just how quickly he'd impact this A's team. Called up for a cup of coffee in the bullpen in July, Gray was back in the big leagues in mid-August, impressing enough in 10 starts to get the nod for Game 2 of the AL Division Series against Verlander.
Gray, just 23 and the sixth rookie in Oakland history to start a postseason game, wowed a nation, fanning nine over eight scoreless innings in a memorable pitching duel and eventual A's win. Though Verlander won the next battle in the decisive Game 5, Gray's efforts weren't forgotten, and they offered more than a glimpse of what's to come in Oakland for several years.
2. Donaldson enjoys breakout year
Josh Donaldson was just a catching prospect a couple of years ago, and not a highly-touted one either. Now he's considered one of the best third basemen in the game, after finishing his first full season as a big league regular batting .301 with 24 homers, 93 RBIs and three walk-off hits in 158 games, while flashing exceptional defensive work at the hot corner.
No one was more valuable to the A's than Donaldson, who captured fourth place in AL MVP Voting, only behind winner Miguel Cabrera and fellow sluggers Mike Trout and Chris Davis.
1. Another season, another division title
Despite their stance as defending AL West champions, the A's weren't considered favorites to win the division again heading into 2013. On paper, they appeared inferior to the Rangers and Angels, mostly because they lacked any of the game's sexy names. But it didn't matter, because they proved to be the more complete team, relying on enviable depth and a wondrous platoon system that not only allowed the A's to claim the AL West but run away with it, surprising a lot of people along the way -- again.

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by remembering a first in Tennessee State softball history.
The accomplishment of a no-hitter avoided the programs pitching staff for the first 14 seasons of existence, but all would change during the 2007 season. The first in Tiger history came 17 games into the season as junior Amanda Vaught completed the task. TSU would not have to wait another 602 games for the feat to be duplicated, as sophomore Stephanie Kemme tossed a no-no just four days later, a span of five games.
On March 5th, Vaught dominated La Salle at the Rebel Spring games in Kissimmee, Fla., during a 3-0 Tiger win. The Murfreesboro native hit a batter in the first inning and surrendered walks in the second and sixth innings for the only base runners of the game. Vaught was never threatened from the start as she struck out the side in the first inning and registered two strike outs an inning over the next four. She would fan the final six batters of the game for a total of 17 punch-outs.
Kemme toed the rubber against Holy Cross in Kissimmee on March 9th for her first start of the season. After allowing the first batter of the game to reach on a base-on-balls the Tiger defense flashed the leather and turned a double play to get out of the inning. Kemme issued a walk in the second, as well as another in the third, before retiring the final 13 batters of the game. TSU would score three in the first inning and another in the fifth to complete the 4-0 victory.
On February 20, 2009, Caitlin Eaton fired the third no-hitter in the 19-year history of Tiger softball and the first perfect game. The sophomore struck out at least one batter in every inning, seven in all, during a five inning 8-0 win over IUPUI. Eaton helped herself out at the plate by driving a ball over the centerfield fence as TSU exploded for six runs in the fifth.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

Tough Sell: 6 Bedroom Design Trends That Buyers Hate
The bedroom is probably the most personal room in your house, and not just because it's where all (or at least some) of the magic happens. After all, it's where you snuggle up at the end of a long, cold day; where you retreat when you're sick; where you stash the items that mean the most to you. Most likely, the decor scheme is also pretty close to your heart.

Official requests up for Aussies' web data: Google
Australian authorities are increasingly monitoring web users' activities, as worldwide governments increasingly track the online lives of citizens.
In the first six months of the year, Australian authorities made 523 requests to Google to access the data of 841 Gmail and YouTube users.
Google complied with 64 per cent of those requests, down one per cent since last year.
Worldwide, authorities made 20,939 requests that Google offer information on its users – a sharp increase on the 12,539 requests recorded in July 2009.
Authorities made 1791 requests that Google remove 17,746 items in the first six months of 2012. Most of the requests came from government authorities and law enforcement.
The figures, contained in Google's latest Transparency Report, show a steady rise in the number of requests for access from Australian governments since it first began publishing the data in July 2009.
"The number of requests that we receive for user account information as part of criminal investigations has increased year on year," Google said in a blog posting.
"The increase isn't surprising, since each year we offer more products and services, and we have a larger number of users."
Australian governments also made 92 requests to remove items from Google websites, including YouTube and search engine results.
Most of the requests were made for "privacy and security" reasons, or over defamation and copyright issues.
A small number were removed for reasons of "government criticism".
Google highlighted one instance where a state government, which it did not name, asked to remove a YouTube video of "statements made against police officers".

What practices or traditions do Roman Catholic have for their deceased loved ones? I know that they say Masses, but what makes it a Mass in memory of someone--I've only noticed that their names are noted in the bulletin; are there prayers for the deceased said during a Mass in memory of someone? Are there memorial services called for at certain intervals after someones passing? I'm wondering if there are counter parts to Eastern Orthodox practices such as Trisagion (Thrice Holy) Services, so named because they begin with the daily "Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal," but include prayers "for the blessed repose, pardon, forgiveness, and remission of sins." Orthodox practices include a Trisagion Service on the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 40th day and one year after repose; the 40 day and one year typically are Memorial (Mnymosina) Services, with coliva (boiled wheat)--a symbol of life. What is analogous to these practices in the Roman Catholic Church?

Podcast Review Special Edition 1: Every Photo Tells – Book 1
Title: Every Photo Tells – Book 1
Short Story Magazine by: Mick Bordet and Katharina Maimer
Genre: All
Released: 10 August 2010 – 21 August 2010
Located: iTunes, Podiobooks, Author's Site
Formats Available: Podcast
Rating: Each story contains elements unto itself making an overall rating impossible.
I've been tempted to write this review for some time but have kept convincing myself of (valid) reasons not to. You see, back when I started writing Podcast Reviews, I stated my rules for review. One of those reviews was "no magazines or anthologies". Every Photo Tells is exactly that. A montly magazine. Strike one.
I also believe that people should let the ones in their circle know about their creative endeavors. I really do. I love it when I see a tweet about someones new project. I don't follow ever link or subscribe to every podcast but I love to know what people are up to and I truly appreciate this self promotion. Except when it comes to me. I rarely (in my self view anyway) promote myself or my endeavors. I was taught not to brag as a child, and self promotion (from me) always felt a bit to close to bragging. It even took a while for me to get comfortable with the three daily announcements of Podcast Review releases I do on twitter (I'm sorry if those become annoying). What does all of this have to do with Every Photo Tells? Well, I'm a contributor. I'm not saying my stories are any good, but I'm also not saying they're not. I'll leave that up to the listener. However, I will say that I am having a blast hearing my stories being podcasted. Being a contributor though quite possibly has provided me with a skewed point of view. Strike Two.
So, the next pitch is coming.. will it be strike three, or will the ball clear the fence? I've decided to go ahead and swing and let come what may. (I aplogize for the ongoing baseball ananlogy, but come on, it is October.)
So, on to the review.
Synopsis: Kilted pirate Greenbeard's last voyage turns up some unexpected surprises…
Who is behind the murder at the Eagle Cave?
Love crops up when it is least expected…
An ancient terror awakens to threaten mankind's existence…
'Every Photo Tells…' is a short story anthology that sets out to show that every picture can tell more than just one story, by presenting a range of tales inspired by seven photographs.
Read by hosts Mick Bordet and Katharina Maimer, and featuring the writing talents of several guest authors, the stories cover a wide range of themes and genres. Whether your taste is for horror or whodunnit, modern thriller or period swashbuckler, fantasy or sci-fi, there is sure to be something for you in this collection. (Stolen from Podiobooks site.)
Production: Ms. Maimer and Mr. Bordet are both experienced podcasters. Mr. Bordet is the author and voice behind Some Other Scotland and Ms. Maimer produces Luscious Leftovers. This background shows through very well on Every Photo Tells. All episodes have consistent production elements and they work very well for me.
Cast: One of the things I really like about this magazines format is that the producers do all of the recording themselves. It gives a consistent sound and feel to the podcast. I personally do not have a decent recording setup (yet) and in a house with a toddler and an infant, quiet time to record would make participating an impossibility. Mr. Bordet is particularly impressive with his wide variety of accents and voicework (even sounding like a female teddybear).
Premise: As you can tell from the synopsis, this magazine provides it's prompt if the form of a picture. The rules and photo's can be viewed at podcast's site. Anyone that is inspired by the photo is encouraged to submit their entry. There are no winners or losers, it is simply a way to share your story with the world.
Verdict: Well, I couldn't very well slam a podcast I write for could I? However, I will say that more contributors are needed. There have been some VERY good stories. Richard Green, Doc Coleman, Mark Kilfoil, Orion Dauphin, Dan Rabarts, Emily as well as myself and the founders have all written stories for Every Photo Tells, but I would encourage others to write as well.
That being said, there are some amazing short stories here. I particularly liked Dan Rabarts "Pick Your Battles" and Mr. Bordet's "The Song".
Short stories require the writer to capture the audience quickly and make each word count. When done well, they are some of my favorite stories to listen to.
Disclosure: I've tried to make this as transparent as possible, but yes, I AM involved in writing for this podcast. I am also good friends with both of the founders. However, I have no say in the way the podcast is run or any other aspect of it. I am simply a contributor. If they ever threaten to quit again though, I will be forced to behead them with a machete and take over the studio as my own. Heidrun was promised, but has never been delivered and she really had no part in my writing this review.

WINTER PARK, Fla. -- Barry University men's basketball team will play Eckerd in the first round of the Sunshine State Conference Championships at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimee, Fla., at noon Wednesday.
