To Learn More About John McDonald
Have you see the prices they're getting for waterfront property these days? Waterfront is always the most expensive land in a town, it being in such demand and all. If you can't afford waterfront, don't worry because the farther you can get from any body of water the cheaper the land gets.
That wasn't always the case here in Maine. In my hometown there was an old sea captain's house on a six-acre plot of land that fronted on our beautiful blue bay. But the captain's house sat on the road at the other end of the lot about as far from the water as it could get.
One time I was talking to Clarence Tucker, a local historian, about the old Captain Butler homestead, and I had to ask him why he thought Captain Butler would do something so odd as to build a house as far from the water as he could, giving the house no view of the water from any window.
Clarence began by saying that that wasn't the oddest thing old Captain Butler did in his long life. But then he didn't elaborate on that particular theme and got back to the subject at hand.
He said people back then felt differently about the waterfront and the harbor the town was built on. In those days people went everywhere by boat and boats brought most their food and necessities. People's lives were ruled by tide tables and packet schedules. Harbors back then where loud, busy, smelly places where hundreds of people worked. Having a view of the bay back then, Clarence said, would be like someone today wanting a view of a busy exit on the Maine Turnpike or a large, noisy truck depot. He said people got sick of sailing since they had to sail almost everywhere they went.
Clarence said someone in town who owed Captain Butler a debt of $25 offered to give him a piece of land that stretched along the oceanfront about 2,000 feet and was about 200 feet deep. At today's prices the piece would easily be worth several million dollars. Captain Butler said he wanted the money not the worthless piece of land.
You see, back then land only had value if it could be used to grow food, graze livestock or cut wood. This particular strip of land was rocky, windswept and barren and was therefore worthless.
"But Captain Butler didn't take the worthless piece of land," said Clarence, and, under similar circumstances he didn't think anyone else in town would have taken it either.
Clarence said that when people back then wanted to relax they went to their camp that was usually located on a quiet lake. Lakes had no tides, no smelly clam flats and never any schooners coming and going at all hours of the day and night.
Getting back to today's cost of waterfront, when you consider that more than 70 percent of the earth's surface is water you'd think every bit of land there was would have some view of a body of water. You'd think that land that had no water view at all would be so rare, so exceptional that it would sell for a premium price.
But ideas on land have changed before and could change again. Maybe that worthless piece of land you have may be worth a fortune some day. So don't go offering it to the bank to pay off your credit card debt.

An item is being sold tomorrow that has been part of the Sunset Park landscape for many years. Don Pfeiffer with the Washington Park Board says the chain saw carving of two bears near the New Dawn Playground is being sold tomorrow evening. He says the weather has taken its toll on the sculpture.
Pfeiffer says the base has become unstable and the Park Board wanted to relocate the solid portion to a new base. He says after further investigation, the smaller bear of the carving had to be removed and destroyed because of dry rot.
Pfeiffer says the remaining portion will be sold at Giardino's Auction at 5:30 tomorrow night with the funds going to a special Park Board Fund to help needed improvements in Washington's parks.

Last month, two 3D-printed outfits made headlines at Paris Fashion Week, held January 21-24, 2013 at the Carrousel du Louvre (an architecturally spectacular shopping mall) and other glittery venues in Paris, France. The latest installment of this ritzy, invitation-only, semi-annual fashion trade show included a 3D-printed skirt-and-cape ensemble and an elaborate 3D-printed dress. Both outfits formed part of the haute couture collection of Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen, whom fashion bloggers generally credit as being the first couturier of digitally constructed fashions.
Actually, 3D-printed fashions were also part of Ms. van Herpen's 2011 collections, but the ever-more-extreme exploits of 3D printing seem to have attracted much greater attention to her 3D-printed garments this year.
She is also known for her avant garde clothing designs for Iceland-born singer-songwriter Björk.
She is also known for her avant garde clothing designs for Iceland-born singer-songwriter Björk.
Update on 14 March 2013:
Recently at a showcase of 3D-printed products hosted by digital printing marketplace Shapeways, American celebrity Dita Von Teese modeled a 3D-printed little black number designed by Michael Schmidt and generated by architect Francis Bitonti. Because the fabric of the dress was perforated like netting, Ms. Von Teese wore a flesh-coloured leotard underneath. She also wore a net veil covering her forehead, the perfect accessory to compliment the gown. Designer Michael Schmidt expressed enthusiasm about having taken a hard plastic material and "making it flow and sexy and undulate around the body."
Although the dress was intended as a museum piece, the growing trend in collaboration between 3D printing and haute couture is apt to produce more mainstream applications at some point down the road, along with new opportunities for printers.
I am indebted to my LinkedIn contact Deborah Corn of PrintMediaCentr.com for bringing this news item to my attention.

During World War II, Turing worked at Bletchley Park for GCCS, a coding center in the UK. For a time he was head of Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. He found a number of techniques to solve the German ciphers, including how Bombe, an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine.
After the war he worked at the National Physical Laboratory, where he created one of the first designs for a stored program computer, named ACE. In 1948 Turing joined the Computing Laboratory Max Newman at Manchester University, where he assisted in the development of Manchester and the computer became interested in biological mathematics. He wrote a paper on the chemical basis of morphogenesis, and he predicted oscillating chemical reactions like the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, which was first observed in 1960.
Alan Turing's homosexuality made was sentenced in 1952, when homosexual acts are illegal in the UK. He received treatment with female hormones (chemical castration) as an alternative to prison. He died in 1954, just two weeks before the birthday-42, due to cyanide poisoning. Investigation said that Alan committed suicide, his mother and some others believe his death was an accident. On 10 September 2009, following the Internet campaigns, Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology on behalf of the British government for the way in which Turing was treated after the war.

Sundance USA bringing 'The East' to Ann Arbor, as Michigan Theater and Russ Collins celebrate anniversaries
Todd Williamson | Associated Press
But let's get to the really important stuff: Sundance Film Festival founder Robert Redford apparently spent a few minutes making a sketch of Collins during the Sundance Institute's annual Art House Convergence conference, which happens annually in Utah just before the SFF gets under way. Collins chairs the conference.
"I'd met (Redford) before," Collins said. " I introduced him, and he talked with our delegates about how film affected him as a young man and influenced him as an artist. But during my introduction, he was sketching something on a pad, and at the end of the evening, a delegate who was watching (Redford) up close said, 'He was clearly sketching your profile.'"
Six years ago, the Convergence conference had 25 attendees, while this year, 350 delegates from art house theaters across the country came together to share information and ideas.
"This is not a trade show," said Collins. "It's an educational forum that gathers people who are passionate about movies, and whose work is to exhibit movies and teach people about movies."
Sundance USA screening of "The East"
- What: As one of 10 theaters across the country selected by the Sundance Film Festival, the Michigan Theater will screen a new movie premiering at this year's SFF (now in progress). "The East" tells the story of an undercover agent who infiltrates an eco-terrorist group, only to fall for the group's leader. Director/screenwriter Zal Batmanglij, actor/screenwriter Brit Marling, and Sundance Film Festival director of programming Trevor Groth will all be in attendance, and earlier that evening, Michigan Theater CEO Russ Collins will be celebrating the theater's 85th anniversary, and his 30 years at the helm.
- Where: Michigan Theater, 603 E. Liberty St. in Ann Arbor.
- When: Thursday, January 31 at 8 p.m.
- How much: $15. (The Michigan Theater will also screen a program called Sundance Film Festival Shorts, featuring selections from the 2012 SFF, on Friday, February 1, at 7 p.m. Admission to this program is $15, and a package for both Sundance USA and the shorts program is available for $25.) Tickets available at ticketmaster.com or by phone at 800-745-3000.
"It's a thriller, and we've had comedies up to this point, so it's a bit of a change-up," said Collins of "The East." (Past Sundance USA screenings in Ann Arbor featured "Cyrus," "Win Win" and "Cedar Rapids," and "For a Good Time, Call ").
"The East" co-creators Zal Batmanglij (director/screenwriter) and Brit Marling (actress/screenwriter)—who will both appear at "The East"'s screening at the Michigan—met as students at Georgetown, and they previously collaborated on a film called "Sound of My Voice."
"Neither of them were film students, but their passion for movies obviously showed up, and they're among a cadre of young film artists breaking through right now," said Collins, who noted that this may be why "The East" was selected for a college town like Ann Arbor (a different SFF film is screened at each of the 10 participating Sundance USA theaters on the same night).
"The East" already has a distribution deal with Fox Searchlight.
And while previous Sundance USA programs at the Michigan have included talks with directors, stars, or producers, this year marks the first time that a SFF programmer, Trevor Groth, will be part of the post-film discussion.
"He has family in the area, so he thought he'd come out and come to the premiere," said Collins. " A lot of people are curious about the Michigan Theater because we're so successful. We sell more tickets in Ann Arbor (for Sundance USA) than anywhere else."
Collins will celebrate his own anniversary with the theater at a fundraising dinner, which will occur just before the Sundance USA program.
When Collins took the reins at the Michigan in 1982, he was a 26-year-old who'd just earned a masters degree in arts administration from University of Michigan. ("I was very confident without reason to be so," said Collins.) At that time, the theater had recently been saved from destruction by a group of passionate volunteers.
"But after a crisis, you've got to figure out what to do with (a facility)," said Collins. "And it usually takes years for people to figure out how the community can best make use of a venue. The times had changed. We knew the facility was going to be used, but we weren't sure how. I got to be in a position to help figure that out."
Indeed, by the mid-80s, the theater's current programming mix of live performances, community events and cinema programming was being established. And though the theater, like all arts organizations, has experienced some turbulence—as any company that manages to be around for 85 years inevitably will—it's nonetheless become a model and a national leader among art houses at the national level.
"It's very exciting to work in this town," said Collins. " A good friend of mine who's an art house theater operator told me that the motto for 4H is 'Making the best better,' and really, I think that's what a lot of people do, and what they expect, in the Ann Arbor area."

Fri, Jan 25, 2013 : 5:24 p.m.
Marling will be there, Skarsgard will not - which is too bad, since my guess is that busloads of "True Blood" fans would turn out if he was able to attend.

Binghamton Middle Eastern Studies Professor Murdered
This story is interesting...little coverage of a Grad Student on a U.S. campus killing his professor in broad day light.
No mention of the suspect's name, which is clearly known to the students and/or campus police and
could easily be discovered by the reporters, yet it isn't reported...
What could possibly be the
Bad grades?
Professor Passes Away After Stabbing at Binghamton University
WBNG News
Dec 4, 2009
Violence strikes the Binghamton University campus in Vestal.
As a professor passed away after being attacked by a student.
Binghamton University professor is dead
tonight after being stabbed by an anthropology student.
It happened around 1:45 pm Friday in the Science 1 Building on campus.
This is video of the hallway where the incident happened.
A witness tells Action News that an
older male graduate student entered the office of professor Richard Antoun and then stabbed him.
The witness also says she saw
campus police tackle the assailant
to the ground, then emergency service workers rushed to Antoun's side to treat him.
"We waited, he came out of the office after about ten minutes, they were doing chest compressions, it didn't really look good.
It was an anthropology
grad student
who was doing
middle eastern studies
I believe," said BU Senior Devin Sheppard.
Campus officials say the suspect in custody, but have yet to release his name.
University Police and the New York State Police continue to investigate.
Science 1 will remain closed until noon Saturday, at which time access to the building will be allowed, except in the area of the investigation.
University President Lois DeFleur issued this statement about Antoun's death earlier this evening:
"This afternoon, in an act of senseless violence, the Binghamton University community lost one of its long-time faculty members...Our hearts go out to the Antoun family and we will provide them with as much assistance as we can in this time of sorrow," said DeFleur.
Governor David Paterson also released a statement saying quote:
"He touched the lives of many students and was respected by his colleagues. Though he will be missed on campus, he will live on in his writing, his research and his students, whose lives he forever changed," Paterson says.
The University is offering assistance to any member of the campus community affected by Antoun's death.
VESTAL -- A longtime Binghamton University anthropology professor was stabbed to death inside a BU science building this afternoon. Campus police have a male suspect in custody, but had not charged him as of 5 p.m.
Professor Emeritus Richard T. Antoun, 77, of Vestal died Friday afternoon after being taken to Wilson Hospital in Johnson City, where he was rushed after being attacked inside BU's Science 1 building.
Professors who were in the building at the time said Antoun was stabbed by a graduate student. Police took the student into custody in the building shortly after the attack. They had not released his name Friday afternoon.
University officials said there is no danger to students or others on the Vestal campus as a result of the incident, but urged the campus community Friday afternoon to stay clear of the Science I building, which was to remain closed until noon Saturday. Students were notified about the stabbing by text message from the university.
It was unclear Friday evening when the suspect might be arraigned. Vestal Supervisor Peter Andreasen said an arraignment would not necessarily have to take place in Vestal, because two state agencies – the State Police and University Police – are involved.
Antoun was stabbed four times with a 6-inch kitchen blade inside a campus office, according to police radio transmissions.
Devin Sheppard, a BU student, said she heard from students who were in the Science Building that campus police had tackled the assailant.
"The police asked the grad student, 'did you just stab him," and he said yes,"
Sheppard said.
Antoun was rushed from the building on a wheeled stretcher and loaded into a Harpur's Ferry ambulance that was parked on a walkway outside the building.
BU President Lois DeFleur condemned the slaying as "an act of senseless violence."
She said counselors would be on duty at the University Counseling Center until 8 p.m., or by calling (607) 777-2772. Counselors will also be available throughout the weekend by calling 777-2393.
A number of students around the Science building Friday afternoon said they weren't certain what had happened, nor did they know why the hallway near Antoun's office had been closed off with yellow police tape. Several said they have not registered with the university to receive text messages notifying them of emergencies.
Some classes continued to take place during the afternoon inside the building, which is on the eastern edge of the BU quadrangle not far from the Bartle library. There are no classrooms in the section of the building where the stabbing occurred.
"It's kind of scary because it's so close," said Jacqui Boroda, 21, a BU senior. She works at Jazzmans, a coffee house in BU's Academic Building B, which is next to Science I. She said her boss saw the police heading into the building with guns drawn.
Professors and students said the mood in the building was one of shock and fear.
"It's scary as hell," said Peter Knuepfer, an associate professor of geological sciences who works in Science I. "It's another one of those things like the downtown shooting (at the American Civic Association, where 13 people were fatally shot in April).
"You think it happens somewhere else, but it happens here too."
, who had lived on Vestal's Murray Hill Road for a number of years, is a
published author
who has written several books. He published the book
Understanding Fundamentalism: Christian, Islamic, and Jewish Movements
A BU biography of Antoun shows that he received a doctorate from Harvard University in Massachusetts in 1963. The bio describes Antoun as an emeritus professor who is a, "sociocultural anthropologist who has conducted
research among peasants in Jordan, urbanites in Lebanon, peasant-farmers in Iran
, and migrants in Texas and Greece.
His scholarly interests center on comparative religion and symbolic systems, the social organization of tradition in
Islamic law
and ethics, the sociology of dispute with respect to tribal law in the Middle East,
local-level politics, and the impact of transnational migration on education, work, and cultural change."
Sheppard and professors said Antoun was "a really nice guy."
Staff writers George Basler, Matt Coleman, Jennifer Micale and Debbie Swartz contributed to this story.

Last week, Nachos Grande asked us...
Three baseball sets came to mind...
Set #1: 1981 Granny Goose A's
However, I wasn't satisfied with that. I really, really, really wanted the hard to find Dave Revering short print too. Call if California dreamin'...
Back in 1981, Revering was traded to the New York Yankees and rumor has it that most of his cards were destroyed. But a few cards slipped through the cracks and were distributed to collectors which created a pretty rare collectible.
It took a few years and some patience, but I finally added one to my collection for $11.49 (free shipping) off a local guy who posted his copy on eBay and my 1981 Granny Goose set was officially complete.
Set #2: 1988 Kenner Starting Line Up
Back in the 90's, I was 100% into the Kenner Starting Lineup craze. Remember the crazy people who stood in line waiting for stores to open, so they could get first crack at the new figures? Well... that wasn't me. But I would go to Toys R' Us and Kaybee Toys on a regular basis looking for stars I needed.
A few years ago, I came to the realization that the figures took up too much space, so I decided to focus on the cards that came inside of the package instead. That's when I decided to build the inaugural baseball set, which consists of a whopping 124 cards.
There was a brief two to three month period where I searched eBay on a daily basis in an effort to complete this set.
It proved challenging for two main reasons. It was hard finding certain guys who were distributed in their local regions only, which led to the second problem... cost. Smart vendors research what they own, so they price these cards accordingly.
Unfortunately, I refused to pay $5 for a Buddy Bell or Kevin Seitzer card, so I waited and waited and waited. Then I found a guy who listed reasonable priced lots on eBay with the cards I needed, which meant I only need one more card:
Set #3: 1998 Donruss Signatures Significant Signatures
Or was it? Technically there are still two more cards I'm trying to track down:
#1: Catfish Hunter (signed in blue ink)
#2: Billy Williams (non-redeemed)
According to Beckett, Catfish signed some of his cards with blue Sharpie too. I've seen plenty of black signatures over the years, but the blue signature has eluded me.
Billy's story is a little different. Donruss chose his autographed card to be the Sandy Koufax redemption card. Collectors who pulled a Billy Williams autograph could send it in for the Koufax autograph. Solid trade, right? When collectors received their Koufax, they also got their Billy Williams autograph too. Donruss stamped the Williams with the word "redeemed" on the back to prevent collectors from sending it in again. I'm looking for one of the Williams cards that was never redeemed.
Both of these cards are proof that you can't always get what you want. I'm actually content with the cards I have now... but if either of these cards pop up with a reasonable price tag, I'll snag them.
Until then... why don't you join the fun and respond to Nacho Grande's question...
Happy Wednesday and sayonara!

The NFL Draft is one of my favorite events of the year. Why? Because it's all about business. You've seen recaps galore, but here's the countdown that hits the wallet the hardest.
$0: After University of Alabama offensive tackle Andre Smith "went missing" from the Combine, we put out the number. Andre Smith could have lost as much as $23.8 millionby potentially sliding down to the bottom of the first round. Smith didn't have a good Pro Day either, but somehow managed to be drafted at No. 6 by the Bengals. That's exactly where many thought he'd fall before this whole debacle started.
1: Amount of weeks it will take the movie "The Blind Side" to outgross the guaranteed money that will be given to the story's real main character Michael Oher, who was picked 23rd by the Baltimore Ravens. The movie, which stars Sandra Bullock, Kathy Bates and Tim McGraw, is scheduled to be released in November. Oher, whose story now might be called "The Blind SLIDE," will get a signing bonus in the $7 million to $8 million range.
4: Amount of players drafted in the first two rounds hailing from University of Connecticut, the same amount of players that came out of Ohio State. How's that for recruiting credibility?
$199.99: The price for a real Darrius Hayward-Bey jersey. The Oakland Raiders are the only team currently offering this expensive option of its recent draft pick to the team's fans. Funny, considering the fact that not many Raiders fans were happy with this reach of a pick.
7,272: Number of people following the Twitter feed of New York Jets No. 1 draft pick Mark Sanchez as of 9:30 p.m. ET on Sunday night. A day after he was drafted, Sanchez is briskly picking up followers at a 150-per-hour pace.
$7,406.88: Amount accepted by former Oklahoma quarterback Rhett Bomar that got him kicked off the team in August 2006. Who knows if Bomar would have been a first rounder if he wasn't coming out of Sam Houston State. Bomar went to the Giants in the fifth round and will make about $250,000 from a signing bonus.
$1 Million: Projected signing bonus of LeSean McCoy, who was picked 53rd overall by the Philadelphia Eagles. Everyone below McCoy will likely get less than this guaranteed.
$41.7 Million: Guaranteed money the Detroit Lions agreed to give first overall Matt Stafford. That's roughly the amount the Atlanta Braves agreed to pay Chipper Jones from 2010-2012 ($42 million). Stafford has done zip. Jones? Fifteen seasons worth of work, 410 home runs, a lifetime .310 average, a six-time All-Star and one-time league MVP. If he wanted to, he could buy 8.3 million shares of Ford stock with the money the Fords agreed to give to him. Not like we would recommend he should do that. At least Stafford told ESPN's Rachel Nichols he's trading in his Chevy Tahoe for a Ford.
Finally, let's give a tribute to the guys who helped make their programs millions of dollars, but still will be eating like college students as they weren't drafted: P.J. Hill (Wisconsin), Ian Johnson (Boise State), John Parker Wilson (Alabama), Graham Harrell (Texas Tech) and Chase Daniel (Missouri).

Toyota Increases Autonomous Technology
As California Toyota dealers, it goes without saying that we simply love Toyota cars in all their many variations. However, we just can't say often enough how proud we are to be part of such a rapidly innovating industry and a brand that plays a major role in that innovation. Our dealers would like to talk more about what Toyota is doing to step up those plans for future autonomous technology.
Among many new advancements coming out of the Toyota Research Institute, active safety intervention and self-driving capabilities are at the top of the list. Necessary for obvious reasons, these features will make driving so much safer in the future. It's our hope that accidents from human error will become minimal, or even eventually nonexistent.
One model tested just last month near Dallas, TX utilizes driver-safety Guardian and autonomous Chauffeur modes on the same vehicle. With Guardian mode, the system uses cameras inside the car and external sensors to determine if a driver is falling asleep, then taking control and steering the vehicle to safety if need be.
When it comes to autonomous Chauffeur mode, the vehicle has been seen going through testing, dodging hay bales falling off a truck, changing lanes to avoid a collision, and more, all captured on video. According to Auto News, who sat down with a source from the Toyota Research Institute, this model is just one of many autonomous Toyota cars coming in the future.
If you live in or near La Crescenta, CA, the professionals at Bob Smith Toyota would be glad to work with you. Simply search for "Toyota dealer near me," and you'll find directions to our convenient dealership location. Come see us today.

Produced by Anto Joseph
Music by Gopi Sunder
Cinematography Satheesh M Kurup

Country India
Language Malayalam
Nazriya Nazim as Shahana
Santhanam as Alakarsami
Jacob Gregory as Benoy
Tini Tom
The first half is comparatively watchable, the second half completely goes down the barrel and the movie ends suddenly with an unconvincing climax.
Sharath's debut as a director could gave us only a half baked product, thanks to the script written by himself (His previous script was Jayaraj's 'Rain Rain Come Again', which ended up a disaster)
Salala Mobiles offers nothing much, except may be for the die hard fans. The combo of Dulquer-Nazriya will help the film to take a huge opening but after that matters looks tough for the film.
Rating: A very generous 2.5/5
Verdict: 'Average'
Last Word: This Number won't be reachable for long, so fans better rush to theaters before it goes out of coverage area.

On the Horizon for 2016
I hope everyone is having a good year so far and continues to do so through out 2016. This year holds many hopes for me. After all the time that I've spent sorting out my painting style and subjects I've finally settled on Landscapes and Figurative. So this year I'll be delving deeper into how landscapes are structured, and how/why I see myself and others in them. I'll also be studying the muscles and bones of human anatomy. For the most part I imagine I'll be combining landscapes and figuratives into each painting but time will tell how that all plays out. Cheers!

The consideration for the acquisition, which completed on 13 February 2010, comprises an initial amount of £29 million, subject to agreed working capital adjustments and an additional payment of up to £7 million based on the profitability the VF business in 2010
Playtech is a longstanding client of BLP. The firm also acted on Playtech's £548.3m flotation on AIM in March 2006, its £122m fundraising in June 2008 and its US$250m acquisition and immediate resale of certain online gaming marketing and related assets to William Hill Online (WHO) in return for a 29 per cent interest in WHO. More recently BLP advised Playtech on the acquisition of Gaming Technology Solutions Limited in December 2009 for up to €32m.

Professor Emerita, Feminist, Mystery Author Carolyn Heilbrun Dies
Carolyn Heilbrun
Carolyn Heilbrun, Avalon Foundation Professor Emerita in the Humanities, died on Thursday, October 9. Her death was by suicide, an option Heilbrun had advocated as a rational way to approach old age, and her preferred way to die.
Heilbrun joined Columbia's Department of English and Comparative Literature in 1960 as an instructor, rising to full professor in 1972, and Avalon Foundation Professor in the Humanities in 1986. She served as President of the Modern Language Association in 1984. She taught her last classes at Columbia in the spring of 1992.
Known for her courses on feminist theory and modern British literature, Heilbrun was an advocate for the advancement of women's rights. She was a founder of Columbia's Institute for Research on Women and Gender and served as its first director from 1987-1989. Heilbrun also served as editor of Columbia University Press' Gender and Culture Series.
Among her scholarly works are "Lady Ottoline's Album" (1976). She coedited "The Representation of Women in Fiction" (1983), "In Toward a Recognition of Androgyny" (1973), and "Reinventing Womanhood" (1979). "Hamlet's Mother and Other Women" (1990) is a collection of her feminist literary essays. Later nonfiction works by Heilbrun include "The Education of a Woman: The Life of Gloria Steinem" (1995) and "The Last Gift of Time: Life Beyond Sixty" (1997).
In addition to her non-fiction, Heilbrun is a well-known crime writer. Using the pseudonym Amanda Cross she penned "In the Last Analysis," "The James Joyce Murder," "Poetic Justice," "The Theban Mysteries," 'The Question of Max," "Death in a Tenured Position," "An Imperfect Spy," "The Collected Works of Amanda Cross," and many other thrillers.
Born in 1926, Heilbrun received a B.A. from Wellesley in 1947 and an M.A. and Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1951 and 1959, respectively. She received honorary degrees from the University of Pennsylvania (1984) and Bucknell University (1985). Heilbrun was a Guggenheim Fellow (1965-66), AAUW Honorary Fellow (1970-71), Rockefeller Foundation Humanities Fellow (1976-77), Radcliffe Institute Fellow (1976-77) and NEH Senior Research Fellow (1983-84).

Care for the Creation and Justice
Ruth Valerio, Global Advocacy and Influencing Director of Tearfund describes herself as a 'community activist, Christian, academic, eco-warrior, mum, author, vegetable grower, wife and pig-keeper'! She lives in Chichester (UK), where she is part of Revelation Church.
She and he daughter, Mali, will lead a workshop with the title, Restoring relationships with God, with each other, and with creation — what can we do about poverty, inequality and climate change?
Ruth writes: "When I was younger, I started to become more aware of environmental issues. I read a lot, but it was mostly non-Christian writings. American ecologist Aldo Leopold, said, 'One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds.' When I read that, I burst into tears, thinking, 'This is me: I'm living alone – no one else understand this world of wounds.' Then I discovered that there are other people who carried the same burden – I wasn't on my own. Now I am part of a whole crowd of people, including Tearfund, who are interested in caring for God's earth."
Andres, Musaab and Elizabeth work at Cornerstone Day Centre, a Christian charity in Manchester (UK), and will be leading a workshop: Connecting with people who have nothing, not even a place to sleep.
They write, "We offer a compassionate service within a safe environment for people who face an immediate crisis in their life. Our emergency accommodation provides homeless people a small and basic shelter, from which we are able to nurture people and provide respite from the street."
Deciding what to do ...
The Sisters of St Andrew, who have been living and working at Taizé for many years, will lead a workshop on discernment: Invent with your God the future he gives to you - how to make choices in life
Arms trade
Nick Cooper, member of @putdownthesword, Nora Ziegler, of the London Catholic Worker @lndncathworker, and Henrietta Cullinan, writer, peace activist and Pax Christi member will lead us in a reflection: No faith in War: Christians challenge the global arms trade

Young members of four very different communities will contribute to the forum:

Fairytale Abuse
Band Photo: Fairytale Abuse (?)
Formed: 1995
From: Arhus, Denmark
Last Known Status: Active
Latest Fairytale Abuse News
Below is our complete Fairytale Abuse news coverage, including columns and articles pertaining to the band. Some articles listed may be indirectly related, such as side projects of the band members, etc.
Peter Steele Tribute: Time Is Running Out
Well over a year ago, Dan Mitchell (of Autumns Eyes) pitched the idea of putting together a tribute album to Peter Steele (Type O Negative, Carnivore) for release on the first anniversary of his passing.
After Dan, Ty (Metalunderground.com Content Manager) and I spent countless hours coordinating and working to make this project happen, and a dozen bands volunteered to record cover songs the tribute on their own dime, "All For None, None For All: A Tribute To Peter Steele" came to fruition and was released last year on April 14, 2011. It's safe to say that we were very pleased with the final result. I was amazed at the quality of all of the songs and pleased with the variety, making it one of my favorite albums of the year.
The only thing we were not pleased with was that we were forced to charge for this album in order to cover licensing fees and "do this the right way" (i.e. legally). We would have much rather released the tribute for free and see it spread as far and wide as possible - for fans everywhere to hear these great renditions of Type O Negative and Carnivore classics as performed by quality underground metal bands. But that was not possible and we settled on the bare minimum price to cover all of the fees: $3 USD per download.
Figuring out the licensing process was an effort unto itself, and in the end we had to pre-purchase a fixed number of licenses. These licenses are only good for a year, and their expiration is rapidly approaching in just days. The last day you will be able to purchase "All For None, None For All: A Tribute To Peter Steele" directly from us will be April 13, 2012.
It would be a shame to see this tribute disappear entirely. We may get the album up on other services such as Amazon.com. (iTunes does not let us set the price, so the album will not be available there). But there are no guarantees on this, or that it will be available in all territories. But one thing is for sure: This is your last chance to buy this full album download for a mere $3.00 (USD), as the fees for other storefronts (who handle the licensing) are higher and will have to be factored in to the price.
If you're a fan of Type O Negative, underground metal or this site (Metalunderground.com), please show us your support by ordering a copy of this tribute so we can fulfill all of the licenses that we purchased and get this compilation out to as many people as possible. If you have friends who may enjoy it, buy them a copy. What's $3 for a full album?
The track listing, which includes interpretations ranging from depressive rock to power metal to death metal and black metal, are as follows:
1. Auvernia – "I Don't Wanna Be Me"
2. Fairytale Abuse – "Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All)"
3. Stabbingback – "Halloween in Heaven"
4. Emancer – "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend"
5. Dead Shape Figure – "Dead Again"
6. Enthrope – "Wolf Moon (Including Zoanthropic Paranoia)"
7. Dark Hound – "Life is Killing Me"
8. A Band of Orcs – "Green Man"
9. In.Verno – "Everything Dies"
10. Blind Greed – "Christian Woman"
11. Revilement – "Sex and Violence"
12. Autumns Eyes – "Love You To Death"
You can find more information and links to buy "All For None, None For All: A Tribute To Peter Steele" here. You'll also find some wallpapers and a PDF of the booklet there for free download.
Thanks for your support.
Svartsot Recruits New Guitarist
Denmark's Svartsot has issued the following announcement about recruiting guitarist Alm, who had previously been a member of the now disbanded Fairytale Abuse:
"We can also announce a new and grizzled face in the 2nd guitar slot - and he is Alm, formerly of Jydsk black metallers Fairytale Abuse.
"Obviously we take this position very seriously and so we were sure to put him through a rigorous interview process leaving nothing whatsoever to chance. 'Have you got an unfeasibly huge beard?' 'Yes.' 'Your're in!'"
Alm is taking over duties for the recently departed rhythm guitarist Uffe. For more details on Svartsot, check out the band's Facebook profile.
Site Update
Peter Steele Tribute Album Officially Released
A year ago we lost one of heavy metal's iconic voices with the untimely death of Type O Negative's Peter Steele. Twelve bands hailing from Europe and both North and South America have lent their talents to pay tribute to the gothic metal giant and ensure his music continues to be played by fans all across the world.
In collaboration with Beneath the Woods studios and a dozen of the finest underground bands, Metalunderground.com is very proud to announce that "All For None, None For All: A Tribute To Peter Steele" is now officially available. All twelve tracks from the album and a PDF booklet containing words from the bands are available for $3, which covers the costs of the mechanical license and the transaction fees. Metalunderground.com will be donating any leftover profits to charity.
You can buy your copy of the album as an immediate digital download starting today.
We would like to personally thank all of the bands involved for their fantastic contributions, and to all our readers who have stuck by us throughout the years. There's a little something for everyone in this tribute album, and we hope you'll love it just as much as we do.
Dan Mitchell of Beneath The Woods Studios also added, "My original idea was to find bands that were only interested in paying tribute to Peter, and not getting caught up in the politics of it all. No talks of money, labels, suits, or anyone trying to suck the life out of it. Just a straight up tribute. While we had people from Dave Ellefson to Anathema showing interest, their schedules are too busy from prior commitments.
"If you look back at Type O Negative's catalogue, they covered various songs by artists that were much different from the original. There were most definitely fans of Neil Young who hated their rendition of 'Cinnamon Girl,' and Seals and Crofts fans who hated 'Summer Breeze.' There were even fans of Sabbath who hated Type O's rendition of a Sabbath song.
"However, Johnny Kelly put it best when he said 'These are what those songs would have sounded like if WE wrote them, its our interpretation of the material.' That was actually his response to me commenting on how 'different' the music on this tribute is."
To hear what the bands have to offer with their cover songs, two teaser trailers are available below. The groups involved in the tribute have also conducted a series of interviews with Metalunderground to talk about Peter Steele's legacy and the future of metal icons. You can read about how Autumns Eyes, Dark Hound, and Fairytale Abuse approached their cover songs and how Peter Steele influenced them. More...

Peter Steele Tribute Teaser Posted Online
Update: the second teaser trailer, which features clips from all twelve songs on the tribute, is now available at this location.
As was previously announced, Metalunderground.com will be releasing an exclusive tribute album to Peter Steele, who passed away last April. A dozen bands from across the world came together to contribute to the album and honor the icon of doom and gloom. The cover artwork for the tribute, which follows the iconic Type O Negative style and was created by Dan Mitchell of Beneath the Woods studio, has now been revealed and can be viewed below.
To whet the fan's appetites and give a taste of what's to come, a teaser trailer is also now available that showcases clips from two of the cover songs appearing on "All For None, None For All: A Tribute To Peter Steele." Check out the video below to hear segments from the gothic recreation of "Love You To Death" by Autumns Eyes and the power metal rendition of "I Don't Wanna Be Me" by Auvernia.
Speaking on Peter's influence in the musical world, Argentina based band Auvernia commented, "Type O Negative - and specially Peter Steele as their front man and composer - has been inspirational for us in terms of diversity in music. They were not afraid to experiment, to melt genres such as thrash and goth for the sake of the compositions, that way creating their own trademark. If we also add musicianship, personality and attitude, then you have an icon. That's the legacy we take from Peter Steele and his band, for their heritage is there, within all their music."
The track order has now been finalized for the tribute album, which features bands from such diverse locations as Finland, Taiwan, Norway, Denmark, Spain, and even the U.S.
1. Auvernia - "I Don't Wanna Be Me"

Since then their albums still regularly find their way to my CD player." Simon then went on to add, "Peter Steele is for us without doubt one of the most significant forefathers within the entire melodic metal genre.
