Colorado marijuana activists, empowered after backing a successful legalization effort in the state, are in the midst of a dialogue about how far to press their success.
At a recent forum, advocates talked about whether the movement should continue to step lightly in Colorado politics — being accommodating toward law enforcement and welcoming of strict regulations — or act like a political powerhouse whose measure garnered more votes than any presidential, gubernatorial or U.S. Senate candidate has ever received in Colorado.
"We have a mandate," said attorney Christian Sederberg, one of the legalization campaign's chief organizers. "We need to lead, and we need to flex that muscle — with deference to certain things."
It is a classic political dilemma: If election wins can be said to grant political capital, how, then, is it best spent?
That is new territory for marijuana-legalization supporters, who have never before won such widespread support for such widespread change. Amendment 64, the initiative that legalized limited possession and retail sales of marijuana in Colorado, passed in 34 of the state's 64 counties. It won in liberal Denver by more than 90,000 votes and in conservative El Paso County by 10 votes.
Statewide, 1.36 million voters cast their ballot for the amendment.
Buoyed by those figures, lawyer Rob Corry said he believes activists should move aggressively to implement Amendment 64 to what he says is its full extent.
"This is a lot better than it was even advertised," Corry said at the forum, attended by medical-marijuana business owners interested in transferring to the recreational market.
For instance, the measure gives individuals the constitutional right to grow up to six marijuana plants and keep all of the harvest from those plants without fear of state prosecution. There are no limits on how big the plants can be, Corry said. The measure also allows people to join together to grow marijuana — meaning people could form large-scale cooperatives that produce marijuana by the pound without needing a license so long as none of the marijuana is sold, Corry said.
Enthusiasm was tempered by those who cautioned that implementing marijuana legalization too brazenly could cause a backlash.
"That's the riskiest place you can be," of Corry's vision for Colorado's cannabis future.
"Part of what's going to allow this system to go forward is responsible behavior," lawyer Sean McAllister said. "While I want you to be aggressive and assertive, you also have to be responsible."

Gainesville Whiff
I'm writing this in the van as we idle in the Comfort Inn parking lot, waiting for everyone to load up. Dave. Brian and Zach went out last night, but Ole Grandpa Oswalt was feeling sleepy-bye and went to bed. Not that I slept, since Comfort Inn fills their mattresses with random pipes, wrenches and geodes.
No matter where I stand in the parking lot, the air here smells like old cheese. Later today, in Orlando, new comics.

Google hit with $AUD200k defamation damages
Ad giant's own witness confessed removing dodgy search results is easy
An Australian man defamed by links on Google that associated his name with images of and articles about a criminal has been awarded $AUD200,000 damages.
Melbourne man Michael Trkulja argued that searches on his name, which brought up references to criminal Tony Mokbel, constituted defamation.
Trkulja asked for those references to be altered. Part of Google's defence suggested he had not properly completed forms that would have seen the ad giant alter its search results, but the end result was that Trkulja's name continued to appear alongside references to a nasty gangster called Tony Mokbel. A jury agreed that those results equated to defamation, and Supreme Court Justice David Beach today decided it was $AUD200,000 worth of defamation.
The judgment paints a fascinating picture of Google's response to the complaint, noting that a Google US employee, a 'Mr Madden-Woods', appeared on the stand but that the ad giant did not call anyone to the witness stand involved in handling the original complaint from Mr. Trkulja.
That became important because one piece of evidence offered by Mr. Trkulja was an email from email@example.com stating:
"At this time, Google has decided not to take action based on our policies concerning content removal. Please contact the webmaster of the page in question to have your client's name removed from the page."
But the existence of the mail from firstname.lastname@example.com, Justice Beach writes, means the jury could easily "... infer that … Google Inc was well aware of what was being requested of it" and that a more nuanced response was almost certainly a sensible option.
Making matters worse, Justice Beach writes that Madden-Woods " … conceded the obvious (perhaps somewhat begrudgingly) that it would not take very much effort to work out, from the page of photographs supplied to Google Inc, the identity of the website that linked the plaintiff's name to Mr Mokbel and Mr Tanner. All one had to do was click on one of the images (the text beneath each image showing that the one web page was involved). At that point it would have been open to Google Inc to block the URL of that page from Google Inc's searches, in compliance with the plaintiff's former solicitors' request."
The amount of damages awarded seems to have been calculated in two ways.
Trkulja had already succesfully sued Yahoo! over the same matter and been awarded $AUD225,000, but that search engine had published nasty links for longer and that those links stated he was "so involved with crime in Melbourne that his rivals had hired a hit man to murder him". Google's results stated only that Trkulja "was such a significant figure in the Melbourne criminal underworld that events involving him were recorded on a website that chronicled crime in Melbourne".
Justice Beach declares that a lesser imputation, but then tried to weigh the number of times each statement would have been read given the respective user bases of the two search engines.
His argument makes for interesting reading:
"While there was debate before me as to the relative popularity of Google and Yahoo search engines, neither side made any attempt to lead evidence of the precise number of publications brought about by a Yahoo search engine as compared to a Google search engine. That said, as was noted by counsel for the plaintiff, in support of a submission that I should find that there were more Google publications than Yahoo publications, while the word 'Googling' has entered the vernacular, there is no corresponding word in respect of Yahoo's products."
A Google spokesperson told The Reg "Google's search results are a reflection of the content and information that is available on the web. The sites in Google's search results are controlled by those sites' webmasters, not by Google." ®

Police sitting on forensic backlog risk, says top e-cop
Triage tool coming to save the day
The UK's top e-cop believes the forensic backlog in seized IT kit poses a serious risk to ongoing criminal investigations.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Janet Williams, the national lead on e-crime for the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), also sees the situation as unfair to those having to wait ages to get their technology back.
"We can't afford the backlog because we're sitting on risk," she says. "And we need to realise that people's lives are on those computers. If we can extract what we require and at least let them carry on with their lives, surely we should be looking to do that."
Williams and her team are working on rolling out a software tool to officers early next year that should resolve both these issues,
"What we're very keen on doing is looking for a forensic triage tool that police officers or forensic officers can use locally. One that is quite simple, one they can ask questions of, such as 'in this computer is there the following...?'," says Williams. "The triage tool can pull that out for them."
She says ACPO is close to identifying the right product and that it is 'critical' that police resources are freed up. She describes the situation as one of the biggest e-crime problems. "We have got to solve it," she says.
DAC Janet Williams
Disrupting the lives of people 'helping with inquiries' is also a main concern. "If you're talking about ten years ago, it was sort of fair enough to seize computers. People didn't keep their lives on them. Now if someone takes your computer, there might be part of that that contains illicit material, intelligence, or evidence, but there might also be part of that which contains all your banking details, your diary etc."

One of the first and most valuable resources used by beginning genealogists in their research in the United States is often the Social Security Death Index or SSDI. On the old FamilySearch.org website, the SSDI was one of the very few sources that could be considered original. Nearly all of the other records on this valuable site were user contributed family trees or extracted records. Many researchers got their first real lead on a family member by locating his or her death date and location on the SSDI. The SSDI also listed the dead person's Social Security Number allowing the research to order, for a fee, the original Social Security Application Form.
Even very experienced researchers found the SSDI a quick way to
locate people who lived too recently to show up in any other records due
to modern privacy and buerocratic limitations on records.
The value of this extensive listing extends way beyond the realm of
genealogy however. For example, the SSDI is used by insurance companies
to check whether or not a death claim is valid. If an insurance
beneficiary's claim is not substantiated by a corresponding record in
the SSDI, then there is a reason to investigate further. Attorney's use
the SSDI to find out if someone they are searching for is deceased.
Presently, there is a bill pending in the U.S. Legislature that would
seriously limit the use and value of the SSDI. The proponents of the
bill are reacting, I believe inappropriately, to a situation where
dishonest taxpayers are falsely claiming dependents by using an
unrelated recently deceased child's Social Security Number. This problem
is not an issue with the SSDI, it is a problem with the way the IRS
handles tax returns. In other words, this is not an identity theft
issue, it is a tax issue. A deceased child's Social Security Number is
associated with the numbers of his or her parents. The IRS could simply
verify that a child's Social Security Number matched the parents' number
and the problem would be solved. Rather than requiring this simple
step, politicians want to use the emotionalism of the loss of a child
and the use by another person of the dead child's Social Security Number
as a springboard to make a valuable genealogical record even more
difficult to use and may destroy the use of the SSDI altogether.
Stay tuned for more specific information about this serious issue and what you can do to help. Go to the website of the House Ways and Means Committee for information about hearings that are being held right now about this bill.

What is the SSDI? And why do I care?
1 comment:
Restricting access to the SSDI may not be the answer to the problem, but something has to be done. I had to file my taxes by mail instead of electronically because someone used Allison's social security number to claim her on their taxes. This is not an isolated incident. I am friends with two other couples who also lost their children, and they had the same thing happen to them last year. All the IRS does is say "perhaps someone typed their number wrong. Too bad for you."ReplyDelete

Jason Derulo, John Legend among CMT Awards' VIPs
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Don't be too shocked when Jason Derulo pops out onstage with Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line during the CMT Music Awards.
The 24-year-old R&B singer is one of several surprising guests on Wednesday night's country music video awards show (8 p.m. EDT), keeping with CMT's tradition of unlikely matchups. Derulo thinks his appearance in Nashville is right in line with the modern musical landscape, and by the end of the night, he hopes to help spur another country crossover hit.
"It's really cool, man, because I've always dreamed of having my music cross boundaries and enter into different walks of life," Derulo said. "Just because you love country music doesn't mean you can't love other genres of music. So the fact that they thought of my song to be at the CMTs is unbelievable. I'm just really excited more than anything and I have my cowboy hat on deck."
CMT also has matched up John Legend with Jennifer Nettles and Hunter Hayes to sing Legend's No. 1 hit "All of Me." And CMT will salute Alan Jackson's 25th anniversary in music by pairing Kacey Musgraves and Lee Ann Womack in tribute.
Derulo, Bryan and FGL will perform the latter two acts' team-up "This Is How We Roll" before Derulo segues into his hit "Talk Dirty." (Organizers say there's another surprise in the show-opening performance that even Derulo is unaware of.)
And if the hitmakers have their way, the performance won't be the last time you hear a "This Is How We Roll" collaboration this summer. They'll launch a remix of the song by Derulo and "Talk Dirty" producer Wallpaper on iTunes in conjunction with the show, and everyone hopes the song captures the same pop party vibe that made FGL's "Cruise" remix with Nelly a crossover hit.
"I'm obsessed with it," Derulo said of the "This Is How We Roll" remix. "I know I'm in the thick of it, but I've listened to that song a million times, literally. I actually really, really love it. The melodies on that song are crazy and the marriage between that and bringing more of a pop flavor ... I really think it's something special. I hope that people like it half as much as I do. If people like it half as much as I do we're in good shape."

The Falkland Islands wolf is a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a tawny fur coat. For starters, it's not even a wolf (more on that in a minute); but far stranger is the fact that, when it was first encountered on the South American archipelago for which it's named, it was literally the only terrestrial mammal in sight.
For over 300 years, the origins of the now-extinct creature have remained a mystery — an evolutionary puzzle even Charles Darwin couldn't crack. Now, a team of geneticists thinks it has a definitive answer.
Back in 1834, when Darwin first encountered the canine on the Falkland Islands, he found it to be uncommonly tame, and friendly to a fault. While it's more closely related to foxes (genus Vulpes) than wolves (genus Canis), the Faulkland Islands "wolf" actually belongs to its own, now-extinct genus by the name of Dusicyon — a detail that has led to it being referred to more simply as the "warrah." Unlike its evolutionary cousins, the warrah was famously affable towards humans. When 17th century British explorers first met the warrah, they too had made note of its congenial disposition — which they promptly realized made it very easy to kill. By 1880, the warrah was extinct. Fun fact: the Latin "Dusicyon" literally translates to "foolish dog."
More puzzling to Darwin, however, was the realization that the warrah was, in fact, the Falklands' only mammal. A baffling observation, given that the islands are separated from South America's bottommost tip by almost 300 miles of ocean.
Theories on the warrah's provenance have been swirling for centuries. Some say it drifted its way to the island aboard ice or vegetation. Others posit that it arrived — already domesticated — with early human settlers. An ephemeral land-bridge, now submerged, seems a reasonable explanation, until you remember that the islands were utterly bereft of any other mammals upon the arrival of 17C Europeans. Needless to say, a dearth of definitive genetic data has made narrowing in on an answer somewhat tricky.
But now, a team led by University of Adelaide geneticist Alan Cooper may have the evidence it needs to put this riddle to rest. By comparing DNA from the skull of a warrah (collected by Darwin himself) with that of six specimens of the creature's also-extinct mainland relative, Cooper and his team have revealed that the two canines began to evolve independently from a common ancestor just 16,000 years ago — directly on the heels of the iciest period in Earth's last ice age.
"The Eureka moment was finding evidence of submarine terraces off the coast of Argentina," said Cooper in a statement, which he says would have formed around the time of the last glacial maxima (between 25,000 and 18,000 years ago).
"At that time," he continues, "there was a shallow and narrow (around 20km) strait between the islands and the mainland, allowing the Falkland Islands wolf to cross when the sea was frozen over, probably while pursuing marine prey like seals or penguins."
As for the absence of other furry creatures, the authors write that the distance would likely have proven too great for creatures much smaller than the warrah to traverse. "Other small mammals like rats weren't able to cross the ice," posits Cooper.
The researchers' findings are published in the latest issue of Nature Communications.

Attorney General Lockyer Urges Consumers to Avoid "Instant" or "Rapid" Tax Refunds
Costly Loans Force Taxpayers To Spend Hundreds to Get Refund One Week Early
(LOS ANGELES) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer today warned consumers not to sign up for "rapid" or "instant" tax refunds being aggressively marketed throughout California, often to low- and moderate-income taxpayers.
"These financial products are not rapid refunds," said Lockyer. "They are high-priced, short-term loans that carry interest rates as high as 700 percent and bleed hundreds of dollars away from low- and moderate-income families. While most tax preparers operate honest, professional businesses, an increasing number are disregarding consumers' interests in selling these loans. Hard-working Californians should be aware they can receive their tax refunds just a week later without paying an exorbitant fee."
Storefront tax preparation operations that offer cash advances based on consumers' anticipated refunds have proliferated in the state's neighborhoods, shopping malls and department stores, and on street corners. These cash advances actually are costly loans that, depending on the tax refund amount, can force consumers to pay the equivalent of a 700 percent annual interest rate. And while taxpayers can obtain these cash advances in two days, those who have bank accounts can avoid paying the exorbitant fee and still receive their tax refund in 10 days through electronic deposit.
Lockyer noted that if a preparer miscalculates a consumer's taxes, and no refund is due, the consumer still must pay back all the borrowed money. Often, payment on these loans is due as soon as two weeks after the date of the transaction. Late payment of a refund anticipation loan can subject consumers to large amounts of interest and late fees.
The economic burden of tax refund loans falls particularly hard on familes who can least afford the cost. About 40 percent of the families who signed up for these loans in 2000 – some 4.32 million families – received the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), according to a 2002 study by the National Consumer Law Center and the Consumer Federation of America. The EITC provides financial assistance to the working poor. The 2002 study found that in 2000 alone, EITC recipients spent $324 million in tax refund loan fees, and another $130 million in fees when they cashed the loan checks. So, to get their tax refund cash one week early, these low-income families paid a total of $454 million – money they could have used to feed their families or pay their rent. Further, the same families spent an additional $500 million to have their tax returns prepared.
The businesses that market refund loans charge other fees for their services, including "tax preparation" fees, "e-filing" fees and/or "document" fees. These charges can total $90 or more even for simple tax forms. But low- and moderate-income families do not have to use these expensive services.
"Free tax assistance from trained volunteers is widely available throughout California," said Lockyer. "I encourage all consumers to find out if free tax preparation assistance is available to them, and to use their own bank accounts so they can receive quick electronic refunds."
To find out if they qualify for free assistance, consumers should contact one of the following organizations:
Orange County, Compton and Norwalk: The Legal Aid Society of Orange County offers clinics in Spanish and English. For information, call (800) 834-5001.
Sacramento, Yolo and Placer Counties: Legal Services of Northern California and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program jointly offer clinics in Spanish and English. For information, call (916) 551-2150.
Statewide: The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program ("VITA") trains volunteers throughout California to assist others with the preparation of their tax returns. To find a VITA volunteer in your neighborhood, call (800) TAX-1040 or (800) 829-1040.
Lockyer also urged low-income families to find out whether they qualify for the EITC. "Unfortunately, many of these families cannot prepare the complicated EITC tax forms without assistance," he said. "They should check out the free tax assistance programs in their communities before they pay a tax preparer."
Taxpayers eligible for the EITC also have the option of filling out their own tax forms by following a free and easy step-by-step program at www.icanefile.org. This Website (I Can Electronically File) provides all the required tax forms, as well as a video guide and instructions in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. Computers with Internet access often are available at local libraries, and also may be available at local legal aid or legal services offices. After completing the program on this Website, consumers may either print out their tax returns and submit them to the IRS by mail, or, if they have an e-mail address, submit the tax returns to the IRS electronically.
Consumers who believe they have been victimized by a tax return preparer can register a complaint with the Attorney General's Office at www.ag.ca.gov/consumers/mailform.htm. Or they can contact the Public Inquiry Unit of the Attorney General's Office at (800) 952-5225.

Bravo: This was a very special game
Wednesday 28 June 2017… it's a date Claudio Bravo will never forget.
It was the night he sent Chile through to the Confederations Cup final, saving three Portugal penalties in a penalty shoot-out to achieve instant hero status.
With the game ending 0-0 after extra time, the shot-stopper denied Ricardo Quaresma, Joao Moutinho and Nani, as Chile triumphed 3-0.
Read... Bravo heroics put Chile into final
Unsurprisingly, the goalkeeper's remarkable feat is the talk of the media – and deservedly so.
Bravo himself has spoken of a special night but as ever, remained humble. He also revealed he wasn't even at full fitness, making his accomplishment all the more impressive!
Quoted in the Mirror, he reflected: "I feel as I always do. I'm a very balanced person.
"I was injured and didn't play at my normal pace but I normally take things calmly and this was a very special game for us.
"We were able to reach the final which is very important for us. We're completing a very successful cycle. We're happy to play in the final."
Many deem penalty shoot-outs to be simply a game of luck, but Bravo is not of that opinion.
"I don't think it's only chance," he added. "I think you need to work a lot. You need to study your opponent.
"I think we played with our heads. We were quite tired at the end but playing with our heads as well as our hearts.
"I knew what I had to do. Of course, we're very happy because we've been able to stop the European champions.
"Portugal had many chances to score. I think the game was quite balanced. Both teams showed great respect for the other.
"The secret, I think, is that we never stop believing in ourselves and we want to do everything we can to win. We still have one more game to win."
As you can imagine, Chile boss Juan Antonio Pizzi heaped praise on his goalkeeper.
He told press: "Fortunately, Claudio was amazing in the penalty shootout, the players who scored were amazing and I think we deserve to be in the final.
"It's true that luck is involved in taking penalties, but I wouldn't say it's only about luck. You can prepare and you can study and you can improve your chances.
"[Bravo] had analysed his opponents very well. Those who take penalties can be studied because you can see them with their country and their club.
"Claudio was prepared: he was able to predict what was going to happen. And he had the personality and mental strength to make it count.
"Nobody wants to be in that situation. You never know what is going to happen, but when Claudio was able to stop the first effort and Arturo scored, we calmed down a little.
"I'm very proud of this team and the players are very proud to represent Chile in every single tournament. We are very humbled by the big responsibility we carry."

Congratulations, Claudio!
In other news, as usual there's some transfer speculation to ponder over as the Telegraph believe City are the front runners to sign Alexis Sanchez, after Bayern Munich apparently withdrew their interest.
An article reads: "Sanchez wants in excess of £350,000-a-week to leave the Gunners, who will ask for around £50 million for the forward who helped Chile book their place in the Confederations Cup last night.
"Sanchez's contract runs out in 12 months, but the big-money wages being spoken about appear to have cooled Bayern's interest in the forward."
Meanwhile, RB Leipzig midfielder and alleged Liverpool target Naby Keita has spoken of his desire to join City, Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Charles Perrin of the Express claims: "Recent reports suggested the Bundesliga outfit are demanding in excess of £70million for the 22-year-old.
"Having got a solid season under his belt, Keita has set his sights higher and is ready to challenge himself abroad."
When asked of his options, Keita told German newspaper Die Welt: "I hope, however, that I have the level in two, three years and could play for one of the very big clubs.
"This includes Barcelona, but it also includes Real Madrid or Manchester City."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal food safety inspectors say prepared barbecue chicken salads sold at Trader Joe's are being recalled because they contain diced onions that may be contaminated with the potentially deadly listeria bacteria.
In a release Friday, United States Department of Agriculture officials say Huxtable's Kitchen of Vernon, Calif. is recalling about 5,610 pounds of the salads.
No illnesses have been reported from the salads.
Products with use-by dates through July 30 and bearing the establishment number "P-11079" are subject to the recall.
The 14.5-ounce salads were distributed in Arizona, New Mexico, Southern California, Southern Nevada and Texas.
The bacteria can cause a flu-like illness, a symptom of a serious infection that typically affects older adults, pregnant women and those with weak immune systems.
The illness can result in death.

Carolina 30, Philadelphia 22: As a fan, maybe you know the internal feeling that this man is expressing outwardly. Perhaps you've even been similarly confused, hurt, angry and vulnerable and you let yourself get a little silly. Luckily for you, though, it never happened with ESPN's high definition cameras right in your face. Just another in a laundry list of insults that is the 2012 Philadelphia Eagles season.
The game itself was ugly, of course. The Eagles turned the ball over three times. Bryce Brown fumbled twice and Brandon Boykin fumbled the kickoff following a Cam Newton touchdown—he had four on the night—that gave the Panthers a one possession lead with less than five minutes left in the game. The Eagles were out of timeouts before the two minute warning hit and that would be that.

Tracey Wigginton – The Lesbian Vampire Killer
The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later.
Tracey Wigginton – Born 1965 and a self confessed female VAMPIRE..
On the evening of October 20, 1989 a middle-aged council worker, Edward Baldock 47, was on his way home from drinking with his mates, when he was approached by a vehicle with 4 women inside, Tracey Wigginton and lesbian lover Lisa Ptaschinski along with 2 female friends, Kim Jervis and Tracey Waugh. Taking advantage of the state of his intoxication, one of the women, lured him into their car.
They proceeded to drive to a park on the Brisbane River near the South Brisbane Sailing Club at West End. It was at this location one of the women namely Tracey Wigginton, enticed the man from the vehicle with the promise of sexual favors. Instead what followed was a gruesome attack that left the man with so many stab wounds to the back and chest, he was virtually decapitated. The crime was not over until Wigginton drank his blood. His body was discovered early next morning by members of the public. Found in one of the victims shoes was a cash card bearing the name of Tracey Wigginton. This led to the early arrest of all four women.
During the trial,
Tracey Wigginton, a self confessed female vampire, told the jury she did not live on solid food but that of pigs and cows blood which she obtained from the local butcher. On quite a number of occasions Wiggintons lover Lisa Ptaschinski said she would slit her wrists so that Wigginton could drink her blood. Based on her obsession for human blood, all 4 women schemed up a plan to kill an innocent victim in order for Tracey Wigginton to have her craving of blood satisfied.
It was this information elicited by police as well as their confessions in the interest of the occult and vampires which led to this homocide being referred to as "The Vampire Murder".
The Verdict
Tracey Wigginton and lover Lisa Ptaschinski were both sentenced to life imprisonment. The other 2 women involved Kim Jervis was sentenced to 18 years jail for manslaughter later reduced to 12 years, and Tracey Waugh was acquitted after her defence barrister argued she had played no active role in the murder and had tried to stop Jervis from taking part.
Tracey Wigginton the real life female Vampire!

Rehabilitation is a high priority at Nunimbah, offering education and vocational training that will improve their own abilities. All vocational programs offered by the department are nationally accredited, so that after release they have a high chance of finding job placement.
Tracey Wigginton has now been released from prison and will be serving the rest of her life on parole

The Tracey Wigginton Transcript from the Mental Health Tribunal
Friday 13/01/12 - At 4.30pm John Scott from 4BC Radio Station interviews the arresting officer of Tracey Wigginton.
This afternoon John Scott from radio station 4BC interviewed Nick Samios the arresting officer of Tracey Wigginton:
Is it fair to say that after such a horrendous crime, Tracey Wigginton should be allowed back into the community? Nick Samios replied "Tracey has done her time, she has been through the system and the Parole board have no plans on returning Tracey Wigginton back to prison". She has been placed in a half way house in a suburb within the Gold Coast region.
Relatives of the deceased Edward Buldock told the media, that they were not even informed of Tracey Wigginton's release, but had to find out by other people and also through the media. Nick Samios expressed his sadness and extreme disappointment for the Buldock's family.
Asked about the night of the incident, Nick Samios informed John Scott that, "The investigation was conducted very orderly and quickly, taking only eighteen hours before Tracey was arrested and taken into custody". He then went on to say, "That the way this murder took place was horrifying. An innocent man lured to a car by Tracey and her two friends, they then drove down towards the sailing club at West End, slit his throat, then began to drink his blood. This occurrence was so shocking to the people of Brisbane, that it caused much uncertainty and nervousness within the city for a very long time".
Asked about his time with Tracey Wigginton on the night of the arrest, Nick Samios responded, "I spent between 14-16 hours with Tracey". John Scott then asked, "How would you describe Tracey as a person"? "She was a very confident person, having an answer for everything, although denying the case at first, as the day went on and more evidence came forth Tracey felt remorseful and pleaded guilty", Nick said.
John Scott asked about the other two women that were involved in the murder, and if they also deserved as much time in jail as Tracey. Nick responded by saying, "A combination of 55 prison years, were served by the three of them". Asked if he thought this had been a planned event Samios concluded, " this was just a random event, in which a harmless man was baited into their car, then driven away to his death".
Unfortunately, these kinds of people are released from prison sooner or later, with many concerns from everyone involved. Tracey has paid for her wrong doing, by being imprisoned for eighteen years. She has wasted the most exciting years of her life, by being in jail. On the other hand what about the family of Edward Buldock? How must they feel knowing this very evil lady that killed their family member can now enjoy the rest of her life free?
Has the Parole Board got it right? Should these kinds of people be released from prison, and allowed back into the community?

FREED lesbian vampire killer Tracey Wigginton will cost taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars a year for the rest of her life, with no boss willing to take the risk of employing her.
Read More Here:
FOR the first time, the brutal details of how lesbian vampire killer, Tracey Wigginton, hunted and methodically slayed a Brisbane father have been revealed.
The Gold Coast Bulletin has obtained Wigginton's official police interview, in which Wigginton, then 23, confessed to killing Edward Baldock on a Brisbane riverbank on October 21, 1989.
After serving 22 years for the murder, Wigginton, now 46, was released from prison on January 11. She is living in Southport.
On the night of the murder Wigginton and three friends, including her lesbian lover, lured the drunk Mr Baldock, 47, into their car at Kangaroo Point with the promise of sex.
Days before they had hatched a sinister plan to kill a man so Wigginton, a "vampire" who had been living on animal blood, could "feed".
Mr Baldock's naked body was found in West End's Orleigh Park the next morning, his head almost decapitated. He had been stabbed 27 times.
In the chilling interview, Wigginton said she "felt nothing" as she stabbed Mr Baldock and sat smoking a cigarette as she watched him die.
"I walked around behind him , I took my knife out of my back pocket, he asked me what I was doing, I said nothing and stabbed him," Wigginton told detectives.
"He went up to grab my hand. I pushed his hand down, withdrew the knife, and stabbed him in the side of the neck, I stabbed him in the other side of the neck, and I continuously stabbed him.
"I then grabbed him by the hair on his head and pulled back, stabbed him in the front of the throat and at that stage he was still alive."
After watching Mr Baldock die, Wigginton said she went down to the nearby Brisbane River to wash her knife, hands and arms.
Wigginton said as he was driven to his death with Prince's Batdance blaring on the stereo, Mr Baldock held her hand. She "presumed he was lonely".
The confession was never released because Wigginton entered a guilty plea to the murder. As a result, few details of the crime were revealed during her 1991 sentencing, which lasted just nine minutes.
Wigginton has since denied allegations of vampirism and expressed remorse for the murder.
However, she had shown the propensity to lie.
In her first interview with police Wigginton said: "I couldn't kill a person. I can't even kill chooks."
Pat Glancy, who fronted the investigation into Wigginton's brutal 1989 murder of Brisbane father Edward Baldock, said the vampire killer showed no remorse for the murder.
"The only thing she was sorry about was that she got caught," he said.
Mr Glancy, 71, is not convinced the community is safe from her.
"She's no fool. To be honest, I'm not convinced she's as sick as she makes out and I don't agree with her release," he said. "Put it this way — I wouldn't want her living next to me."

On the Creative Cow Premiere Pro Basics forum, editor Gates Bradley ran into a common problem affecting Premiere Pro users that use After Effects via Dynamic Link. Editor Jacob Kerns had the issue in the other Premiere Pro forum at Creative Cow. James Graham had the same issue on that forum, as well. This seems to be a common misunderstanding among Premiere Pro editors.
What is Dynamic Link first of all? Dynamic Link is the protocol that is used to translate clips and sequences between Adobe Premiere Pro, Encore, and After Effects. For example, you could replace a clip with an After Effects composition directly in the Premiere Pro timeline. The problem is that Gates and other users wish to get the Premiere Pro timeline back to its original state: before the clip was dynamically linked to an After Effects comp.
Why would he want to do this? After all, After Effects is the epitome of powerful software for video compositing. Well, there are times when you've gone far down the path of using After Effects with dynamically linked clip(s), and then you change your mind. Perhaps you wish to keep things simpler and rework the effect in Premiere Pro. Maybe you weren't aware of the lowered playback performance of a dynamically linked After Effects comp in a Premiere Pro timeline. It's also possible that a client comes in with a change that forces you to alter the shot well after you've started the project. For these cases (and others not mentioned here), you'll sometimes need more than a simple "undo", you'll need a strategy to get you out from under Dynamic Link if you need to. Let's take a look at some of the techniques to help you get there.
First and foremost, if you are working in a current project, you can simply choose Edit>Undo back in Premiere Pro after sending a clip to After Effects via Replace with After Effects Composition. Simple. The clip will be restored to its original state.
If you are beyond Edit>Undo, you can try one of the following:
- Jeff Greenberg and Alex Udell offer that you can Edit>Copy the clip in After Effects and then Edit>Paste it back into the Premiere Pro timeline.
- Tom Daigon recommends that you copy and paste the clip to an upper video track (and then go to Clip>Disable to turn it off) to act as a safety before you send the original clip to After Effects via Dynamic Link.
- Ann Bens advises you to create a copy of the clip in the Project Panel for later use.
- I suggest that you can delete the After Effects composition from the timeline, perform a matchframe using the audio portion of the clip, perform a mark clip, and then overwrite the clip back into the timeline.
With these pointers, you're sure to be able to restore your timeline to its original state. Thanks to Colin Brougham, Jeff Greenberg, Alex Udell, Tom Daigon, and Ann Bens for their input on this topic.

Nick Markakis had answers for both of the home runs from Texas slugger Adrian Beltre.
The Baltimore leadoff man hit a tying homer after Beltre's first blast, and his go-ahead single followed a three-run shot that pulled the Rangers even, as the Orioles went on to a 6-5 victory in Texas on Wednesday night.
Markakis' single in the sixth inning came after Beltre wiped out a 5-2 lead.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
Chris Davis had put Baltimore up by three with a solo shot against his former team -- a night after Nelson Cruz did something similar by homering in his first game as an opponent at Texas.
"We've have been having good at bats up there," Markakis said. "Seems like when they get the ball over the plate, we've been getting good swings on it and finding the hole, finding the gap."
Cruz had three singles and reached twice on errors by Luis Sardinas, a surprise fill-in at shortstop for Elvis Andrus. It was the second time in less than a week the two-time All-Star wasn't in the starting lineup.
Bud Norris (4-5) allowed six hits and five runs in five innings for the Orioles, and the bullpen pitched four scoreless innings. Zach Britton earned his fifth save.
Davis, who was traded to the Orioles by Texas in 2011 and led the majors with 53 homers last year, had his eighth this season on a towering shot to right field for a 5-2 lead in the fifth.
Cruz, who chose Baltimore over Texas as a free agent in the offseason and leads the big leagues with 21 home runs, hit a three-run homer in a series-opening win Tuesday.
Markakis hit his fourth homer against rookie starter Nick Martinez (1-2) in the third. The left-handed hitter's go-ahead single came off Aaron Poreda, a lefty brought in to face him.
"It doesn't really matter with Nick," manager Buck Showalter said. "There are so few in baseball that left and right doesn't matter."
Beltre, who drove in all five Texas runs, gave the Rangers a 2-1 lead with an opposite-field shot off the facing of the upper deck in right field in the first inning and went the other away again in the fifth for his eighth homer of the season.
Beltre's tying shot came after Norris was hit on the right forearm on a one-hopper by Mitch Moreland that turned into a single. After a lengthy chat with manager Buck Showalter and the trainer, Norris stayed in and got two quick strikes on Beltre, who fouled off three more pitches before sending a line drive into the Texas bullpen for his third homer in two nights.
"When Beltre goes to punching the ball out of the ballpark, he does it in bunches," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "He put us on his back. We just couldn't put enough runs across the board to help."
Norris left the game after the inning with a right forearm contusion.
"I'm pretty sore," Norris said. "You don't know where you want to get hit, but I guess it's the forearm. I got some muscle on it so I guess you could look at it that way."
Both of Sardinas' errors led to runs. He dropped a popup with two outs in the first, and Cruz scored on a single by Adam Jones. A throwing error in the third came before another run-scoring single by Jones and a sacrifice fly from J.J. Hardy.
Andrus grounded out as a pinch-hitter in the sixth and stayed in at shortstop.
NOTES: Orioles RHP Miguel Gonzalez was scratched from his Thursday start in Texas and replaced by RHP Chris Tillman. Gonzalez is nursing soreness on his right side, but there's no diagnosis. He was scheduled for an MRI. ... The Rangers observed a moment of silence for Don Zimmer, who died Wednesday. He managed the Rangers in 1981 and part of 1982. ... Orioles closer Tommy Hunter (left groin strain) will pitch in a simulated game Thursday after getting through fielding practice with no issues.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- An appeals court says a family can proceed with a lawsuit that claims a woman was frozen alive in a Los Angeles hospital freezer after she was mistakenly declared dead.
The Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/1h4Q3fl ) says the ruling came Wednesday in a medical malpractice case against White Memorial Medical Center.
Eighty-year-old Maria de Jesus Arroyo was placed in the freezer in July 2010.
Her body was later found face down, with a broken nose and cuts and bruises to her face. The family initially sued for mishandling of the body but refiled the case two years ago after a pathologist concluded the woman most likely injured herself in a failed struggle to get out of the freezer.
A call to the hospital Wednesday seeking comment wasn't immediately returned.

Virginia Military Records
This entry was originally written by Johni Cerny and Gareth L. Mark for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Colonial Wars. American military history in Virginia began with the establishment of the colonial militia early in the seventeenth century, primarily to fight against attacks from native inhabitants. Service records of Virginia soldiers in the colonial wars (1622'1763) offer more historical than genealogical information and usually provide only the name of the soldier and the unit in which he served. The records consist primarily of rosters, rolls, and lists that survived the wars and several fires and are helpful in placing someone in a particular place at a given time. Most of these rosters and rolls have been published and can be found in genealogical libraries throughout the nation.
Lloyd Dewitt Bockstruck's Virginia's Colonial Soldiers (1988; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1998) is compiled from county court minutes and orders, bounty-land applications and warrants, records of courts martial, county militia rosters, Hening's Statutes at Large, the Draper manuscripts (see Wisconsin Periodicals, Newspapers, and Manuscript Collections), and manuscripts of the former Public Record Office (now The National Archives) in London. It supplements William A. Crozier, Virginia Colonial Militia, 1651'1776 (1905; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2000), and H. J. Eckenrode, List of the Colonial Soldiers of Virginia (1917; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2000).
Another valuable publication is Virginia Military Records: From the 'Virginia Magazine of History and Biography,' 'The William and Mary Quarterly,' and 'Tyler's Quarterly' (1983; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2000), a reprint of articles published in those periodicals that deal with military records during the colonial and Revolutionary War eras. See also Murtie June Clark, Colonial Soldiers of the South, 1732'1774 (1983; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1999).
Revolutionary War. Some of the original service records for the Revolutionary War were destroyed by fire. Those remaining are on file at the National Archives, compiled primarily from rosters and rolls of soldiers serving in Virginia's militia units, with additions from correspondence and field reports of military officers. However, there is no comprehensive list of Virginia veterans of this war. Some published indexes exist, such as John Hastings Gwathmey, Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, 1775'1783 (Richmond, Va.: Dietz Press, 1938). A card index of Virginia soldiers is available only at the National Archives and is not on microfilm.
John Frederick Dorman continues to compile abstracts of files of Virginia soldiers who received pensions or bounty land in Virginia Revolutionary Pension Applications, 51 vols. (Washington, D.C., 1958' ). The last volume carries the series through the name Harding, Robert. Virgil D. White has compiled abstracts of all Revolutionary War soldiers who applied for pensions or bounty land in Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files, 4 vols. (Waynesboro, Tenn.: National Historical Publishing, 1990'1992). Vol. 1 covers surnames A-E; vol. 2, F-M; vol. 3, N-Z; vol. 4, Index. Another abstract of information from pension files of soldiers who received pensions from the state of Virginia is Virginia Revolutionary War Pensions (1980; reprint, Easley, S.C.: Southern Historical Press, 1982). Virginia Land Office records of Revolutionary War soldiers are found in Louis A. Burgess, comp., Virginia Soldiers of 1776, 3 vols. (1927'1929; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1994). See also Revolutionary War Virginia State Pensions, a searchable online database on the Library of Virginia website at http://eagle.vsla.edu/rwp/virtua-basic.html. Document images of this collection are available online.
Bounty-land warrants were issued to Virginia soldiers for their war service. After the war, soldiers who served in the Virginia State Line or Continental Line applied for a warrant and, when approved, received a certificate to be exchanged for a warrant. The land to be issued was located in Kentucky and the Virginia Military District of Ohio. See Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh, Revolutionary War Records, vol. 1, Virginia (1936; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1995), for an index of soldiers who received warrants for Ohio. See also Willard Rouse Jillson, The Kentucky Land Grants: A Systematic Index to All of the Land Grants Recorded in the State Land Office at Frankfort, Kentucky, 1782'1924 (1925; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1994). In the case of deceased soldiers, their heirs made application. Kentucky land was occupied first, then land was granted in Ohio after 1792.
The Library of Virginia and the FHL have microfilmed copies of applications for Virginia bounty-land warrants. See 'Revolutionary War Bounty Warrants and Index' or Hamilton J. Eckenrode, comp., Virginia Soldiers of the American Revolution, 2 vols. (1912'13; reprint, Richmond, Va.: State Library and Archives, 1989). Rejected applications are filmed under Revolutionary War Rejected Claims and Index of Soldiers from Virginia, 1811'51. See also Military Land Certificates, 1782'1876, at the Library of Virginia and the FHL (see also Kentucky and Ohio).
The federal government was not alone in awarding bounty land to citizens and soldiers for services rendered. Nine states (Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia) adopted similar policies but did not create a specific record group to document bounty land grants. Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck compiled Revolutionary War Bounty Land Grants (1996; reprint, Genealogical Publishing Co., 1998) from a variety of manuscript records and printed books. See also Virgil D. White, Index to Revolutionary War Service Records, 4 vols. (Waynesboro, Tenn.: National Historical Publishing, 1995), which is an alphabetical index compiled from National Archives Record Series M860. Researchers can use the Library of Virginia website to access Revolutionary War Bounty Warrants, a searchable index to the documents used to verify dates and length of service of officers, soldiers, and sailors in a Virginia or Continental unit during the Revolutionary War. The index can be searched at http://eagle.vsla.edu/rwbw/virtua-basic.html. Another useful publication is Janice Abercrombie, Virginia Revolutionary Public Claims (Athens, Ga.: Iberian Publishing, 1992).
War of 1812. Information included in service records for the War of 1812 is similar to that in the same records of soldiers in the colonial wars and the Revolutionary War. Soldiers of the War of 1812 (Research Notes Number 19) is a good overview of records and the soldiers from Virginia who served in the War of 1812 and can be viewed online at www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/mil/rn19_sold.htm. The searchable Index to War of 1812 Muster Rolls and Pay Rolls can also be accessed on that website at http://eagle.vsla.edu/war1812. Only the National Archives has copies of original pension and bounty-land warrant applications for the War of 1812. Researchers can use microfilmed indexes at the National Archives or the FHL. See Stuart Lee Butler, A Guide to Virginia Militia Units in the War of 1812 (Athens, Ga.: Iberian Publishing Co., 1988), for unit histories and commanding officers, and Virgil D. White, comp., Index to War of 1812 Pension Files (Waynesboro, Tenn.: National Historical Publishing Co., 1989).
Civil War. When the Confederate government evacuated Richmond in April 1865, the adjutant and inspector general, Samuel Cooper, took the centralized military personnel records of the Confederate Army to Charlotte, North Carolina. When the Confederate civil authorities left Charlotte after agreeing to an armistice between the armies in North Carolina, President Jefferson Davis instructed Cooper to turn the records over, if necessary, to 'the enemy, as essential to the history of the struggle.' After the armistice, when Union General Joseph E. Johnston learned that the records were at Charlotte, he turned them over to the Union Commander in North Carolina.
These military personnel records were taken to Washington along with other Confederate records captured by the Union Army and were preserved by the War Department. Between 1878 and 1901, the War Department employed a former Confederate general, Marcus J. Wright, to locate missing Confederate records and borrow them for copying if the possessors did not wish to donate them to the War Department. In 1903 Secretary of War Elihu Root persuaded the governors of most of the southern states to lend to the War Department all Confederate military personnel records still in their possession for copying.
The material gathered became the source for the Compiled Service Records of Confederate Soldiers Who Served in Organizations from the State of Virginia (similar records are available for all Confederate and border states). The records are indexed in Index to Compiled Service Records of Confederated Soldiers Who Served in Organizations from the State of Virginia. These National Archives microfilm series are available at the Library of Virginia and the FHL. The Library of Virginia has several searchable online databases that every researcher should use, including Index to Confederate Rosters, an index to the unofficial rosters of soldiers from Virginia who served in the army of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. Index to Confederate Pension Applications indexes original and amended pension applications filed by resident Virginia Confederate veterans and their widows. The pension applications are available on microfilm at the Library of Virginia and the FHL. The Confederate Pension Rolls, Veterans and Widows Electronic Card Index contains information not included in the searchable index. See also Using Virginia Civil War Records (Research Notes Number 14). Links to these items appear at www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/mil/index.htm.
FamilySearch.org has a variety of collections available for free online:
- Virginia, Civil War Service Records of Confederate Soldiers, 1861-1865
- Virginia, Civil War Service Records of Union Soldiers, 1861-1865
World War I. Two important collections can be searched for ancestors from Virginia who were eligible to be drafted or who served in World War I. Draft Registration Cards, 1917'1918 is arranged alphabetically by county or city and then alphabetically. Information on each registration card differs but generally includes full name, date and place of birth, race, citizenship, occupation, personal description, and signature. They can be searched at the FHL or online at www.ancestry.com. The Library of Virginia has a collection of World War I History Questionnaires at www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/mil/index.htm. Names in the index link directly to images of the questionnaire online.

Arius had been lucky tonight. A car had grazed his leg while he was walking along a moonlit country road.
The driver likely never saw him.
His grandfather told him a full moon represented protection to those who believed in its power.
Arius stopped, raised his wolfish head, and howled.
Greg Didaleusky has written two novels. Rogue Phoenix Press published Frozen Death, a mystery-suspense novel, in 2009, and Concealed Warnings, a suspense novel published by All Things That Matter Press, is coming fall 2011.

I finished composing the first movement of my suite as a 50 follower special. Here is the link:
this is the best form of my mary had a little lamb parody (it sounds dumb, but it actually sis one of my better pieces)
Check it out!
So, you know how I have been working on the 50 follower special composition right? Well, I am 2/3 of the way through it and even include a short bit of canon in the composition. But after this canonic moment, I can't seem to make further progress. I know that I want to go back to G major by means of a plagal cadence(which would require me to substitute C major for C#°) and that I want to end the piece with a plagal cadence.
I have been having this composers block for about a week now. I usually embrace it and just move on to composing something else, but this is a 50 follower special composition that I have been working on.
I reached the 50 followers milestone. Now just to finish my 50 follower special composition. I can't promise when it will be done but right now I'm halfway through it.
Did any of y'all create horrible pieces of music the first time you joined Musescore?
If you don't know already, I am now almost at 50 followers. Currently I have 39 followers so just 11 more and I will have reached the 50 follower mark. I had maybe like 4 followers 2 years ago. So clearly, I'm doing something right. My most recent score called The Storm just brought me 2 more followers. I suppose they followed me hoping to someday see the entire suite that I plan on The Storm being a part of. That suite I call Weather Music. Maybe I should compose another part of the suite for that 50 followers mark, upload it when I reach 50 followers, and then whenever I have finished the suite, upload it in its entirety.
If you want to listen to what I have so far of The Storm, here it is:
It just so happens that I have been getting rain for 3 days straight here in Ohio.
Update 1: 6/18/2019
Oh my goodness, 4 followers in a single day. That is a record for me, I am now at 43 followers. I don't know if the follower milestone or finishing the composition will come first. If the follower count does come first, that's fine. I'm not pushing myself to finish the 50 follower composition.
Update 2: 6/19/2019
Wow, 5 followers in 1 day. I don't think I will finish my 50 follower composition before I reach 50 followers. Often my composition process is slow, so don't be surprised if a week has passed and I still haven't finished the composition yet. I will get it done when I get it done. I emphasize quality over quantity with my compositions.
Update 3: 6/24/2019
I'm just 1 away from reaching the 50 followers mark. As for the composition, I'm about halfway through composing it.

So, I have been planning out my first symphony. I gave it the nickname "The War Symphony". It still isn't flushed out yet but I have decided to have it be a programmatic symphony with this movement structure:
First Movement:
Key: Bb major
Aspect: Battle
Form: Sonata Form
Second Movement:
Key: F minor
Aspect: Death
Form: Not decided on yet but I'm leaning towards ternary form
Third Movement:
Key: Not decided on
Aspect: Battle again
Form: Scherzo and Trio
Key: Bb major
Aspect: Victory
Form: Sonata-Rondo Form
The first movement is what I have flushed out the most out of all the movements so far in my plans so obviously, that will be the part I work on first. But I'm wondering, since I can't really afford a Pro membership(maybe a few years down the line I will be able to afford it but I can't currently), should I make a separate account to put my symphony score on once it is finished? And if so, should that account be just for my symphonies if I happen to want to compose more than 1 symphony?
I will say mine if someone says my fav.
What are we doing here?
I decided to write a piece with 3 completely random songs to challenge myself. I believe it will help me in the future when I write professionally and need to transition between movements.
Please critique this piece! Or at least some feedback (thoughts, opinions, requests) would be nice.
If you stick around for updates, expect a big run after where Moonlight Sonata left off. It will help to transition back into Hymn of Acxiom.
- The harp part is a sound effect, not an actual part to be played
- All diddled phrases are to be played as normal rolls
- I will update sticking soon
- This piece will eventually come full circle and will end with the ending of the first unoriginal piece
- I changed all the settings so the sheet music would look as close to Sibelius as possible, but they don't go through well online
- I used two soundfonts
Pieces Used:
- Hymn to Acxiom
- La Marseillaise (French National Anthem, only minor section)
- The second half of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata mvmt. 3
Please critique!
Thanks, Pete-Michael

I'm not one to flock to the latest big restaurant on opening night. I avoid crowds and celebrity chefs. Sure, in the first month or two when Tom Colicchio is babysitting Craft or Wolfgang Puck is running the grill at Cut, the food will be great. But after they get their three stars from Miss Irene at the Times and the hubbub dies down, then what happens. Do they keep producing quality food or do the rest on their laurels? The true test of a great restaurant is whether it can produce high quality food over time.
This is why I had so far avoided Pizzeria Mozza and its cousin Osteria Mozza, the product of a collaboration between Iron Chef Mario Batali and local bread-winner Nancy Silverton. The restaurant opened to rave reviews from Virbila, Jonathan Gold and the like, some calling it the best pizza in LA, but that was last year, and now Mario has gone back to New York and it's just another restaurant, one that I decided it was time to visit.
Of course, it's still impossible to get a reservation, unless you like booking dinner at 3:30 (am or pm), but when I walked into the Pizzeria at 6:00 on a Wednesday evening, there were a few spaces at the bar and a pretty good turnover.
We had an appetizer, two pizzas and dessert. The funny thing is than while the appetizer and dessert blew us away, the pizzas, while good, did not seem all that special.
Our appetizer was bone marrow al forno, consisting of ovenbaked beef bone marrow, served with toast, roasted garlic, sea salt and a microscopic micro-greens salad. The marrow, served in three sections of a cow femur, was luscious...fatty, tender, beefy, garlicky, rich and served so hot that I burnt a finger grabbing the piece of bone. The salad, which really should have been larger, had a nicely acidic lemon dressing which cut perfectly through the grease and richness of the marrow. The roasted garlic was superfluous.
The two pizzas were the Gorgonzola dolce, fingerling potatoes, radicchio & rosemary and the "meat lovers pizza" with sausage, salami, bacon & guanciale. These were both good pizzas. The crusts are big, fluffy...nice and chewy, and the toppings are well done, but they just didn't live up to the hype. Frankly, I'd just as soon eat a good ole' Casa Bianca sausage and green olive pie.
Much has been written about the butterscotch budino dessert, and it did live up to the hype. A rich, creamy butterscotch pudding, topped with salt and whipped cream, the budino joins my custard hall of fame. I briefly considered ordering a second, but decided better of it. The accompanying rosemary cookies were not to my liking, but I was a bit over-rosemaried from the pizza.
I may go back to Mozza, if I hear the siren song of marrow or butterscotch pudding, but it won't be for the pizza.

Mozza, Hold the Pizza
1 comment:
This was my experience, too. Appetizers (we ordered four of them for the table, as I recall): delicious. Butterscotch budino: awesome. Pizza, eh. I wasn't a fan of the crust. If I want bread, I order bread. When I order pizza, I expect it to be mostly pizza, not half pizza and half crust. And the non-crust part wasn't exceptional, especially considering the price. However, the other three people I went with raved about the pizza.

It almost seems folly to write about "Zoolander No. 2" and the comeback of aging, dim-witted, evil-fighting supermodels Derek Zoolander and Hansel when there's only one journalist who can do their story justice: 1970s TV newsman Ron Burgundy, of "Anchorman" fame.
The "Zoolander" and "Anchorman" characters, separated by little more than time, inhabit the same comedic universe of buffoonish and cartoonish public figures in movies that celebrate the silly. The comedies also share cast members: "Anchorman" star Will Ferrell reprises his role as the models' nemesis, Mugatu, in the new flick, due out Friday. "Zoolander" headliner Ben Stiller showed up as a combative rival newsman in the original 2005 "Anchorman."
But the strongest link comes in the approach to promoting long-gestating sequels by springing surprise in-character public appearances. The latest "Zoolander" will test whether the "Anchorman" campaign model works – or whether it's time to write, as Derek Zoolander might put it, the franchise's "eugoogally."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Building expectations for sequels to long-dormant fan favorites, as George Lucas can attest, is a risky business. Credit Ferrell with embracing overexposure from moment he resurrected Burgundy with a jazz flute spectacular on "Conan" in 2012. In the weeks before the film's debut the following year, Ferrell turned up as his plaid-clad alter ego on everything from real newscasts to car commercials.
Stiller and co-star Owen Wilson followed a similar script, strutting across a Parisian runway for Valentino to announce their return as Derek and Hansel. They later posed as mannequins in Valentino's Rome store, and Derek even made the cover of Vogue.
"Anchorman 2" scored with fans beyond the publicity stunts. Ferrell and creative partner Adam McKay injected the movie with a deeper level of satire that the first outing, by suggesting cable TV news craziness started with the advent of televised police chases.
"Zoolander No. 2" appears set to dive past the skin-deep by tackling the cult of self-absorbed celebrities with around-the-clock multimedia followings, 15 years after the original film's pre-Twitter debut. Last week, Stiller and Co. lampooned digital narcissism by showing up at the London premiere of "Zoolander No. 2" with a record-long selfie stick.
The stick stretched 28 feet, making it hard to handle. But it may prove more difficult to match the heights of the original "Zoolander," which turned Blue Steel into gold. Whether or not Derek and Hansel are ready, it's time for their close-up. Ron Burgundy – and the rest of their fans – will be watching.
