George Zimmerman in the headlines again - A "rant" about Obama's tears
How Zimmerman must feel about Obama
Obama's tears over gun control, while the parents of the children killed at Sandy Hook stood behind him, practically trended on Twitter yesterday. Two schools of thought, people either thought his tears fake or sincere. Thousands commented and many media outlets and bloggers opined, one reporter even sought out the opinion of George Zimmerman, who laughs at the prospect that he has apparently become the go-to person when it comes to Obama's statements on gun control. Maybe it is because Zimmerman epitomizes, thanks in large part to Obama, the lengths to which the press and politicians (with the help of willful social media idiots), will go to strip us of our right to self defense.
The articles written about Zimmerman's statement concerning Obama's speech, and the tears he shed, make it sound as if the reporter randomly came upon Zimmerman somewhere after the speech and observed him ranting and raving about what Obama said, and the manner in which he said it. If you know George, and I have for over two years now, you know he doesn't "rant" and I have never heard him so much as raise his voice, even when most people, including myself, would have.
TMZ article:"Zimmerman, was leaving a shooting range near Orlando when he unloaded on a photog about what he calls Obama's phony, emotional outpouring over the Sandy Hook massacre during Tuesday's gun control news conference.
Zimmerman, the infamous shooter of Trayvon Martin, went even further with his rant -- taking issue with a bunch of things Obama said, and one thing he did NOT say."
rant verb speak or shout at length in a wild, impassioned way.
"she was still ranting on about the unfairness of it all" synonyms:
Rant? I think not, he's just a guy practicing his first amendment right to emphatically express his opinion concerning his second amendment right, which includes his opinion of the Commander in Chief.
What Zimmerman opined yesterday is felt by many, including myself. Zimmerman was upset, in part, by the President's neglect in addressing Ft. Hood, where their gun control policy rendered a base full of civilians and troops defenseless, resulting in their being murdered by a single terrorist with a gun. The same was true in the Naval Yard massacre - a gun free zone where defenseless victims were sitting ducks for a rogue assassin.
Obama's tears seemed not so much fake to me, but arguably insincere given the opportunistic usage of a select few "white" parents to garner support for his gun control stance. They seemed insincere because there are hundreds of mostly black mothers and fathers whose innocent children have been killed by illegal guns in US and, unless there is a political agenda, their grief is rarely addressed by media, much less by out President.
Tears shed to feed a narrative
These children, killed daily in Chicago and other high crime, gang infested areas in the US, have never summoned a single tear from our concerned President.
Sandy Hook, Newtown, Virginia Tech, and every loss of innocent life is horrific, and my heart goes out to the families of those who were summarily murdered, but what about the number of people who have survived violent attacks, or protected their families because they were able to defend themselves with their guns? Statistically, that number is much greater than the number who die defenseless. Victims of gang shootouts are not considered "defenseless" in the count.
According to The Guardian, "Not even the police are safe in Venezuela. In a country which saw 24,000 murders recorded in 2013 and whose capital city Caracas was runner-up for murder capital of the world, 252 security officers have been killed in the country from January until October this year, in most cases simply because they were carrying something valuable – a gun.
When President Maduro launched a disarmament plan in 2014, and security forces were also ordered to destroy weapons seized during the police operations, the government's intention was to reduce violence by making it harder for people to obtain guns. His predecessor had already made private gun ownership illegal in 2012."
Even if you take the guns away from criminals, it seems they will take guns away from those who are legally in possession of them. What is the answer? Allow everyone, who can do so legally, purchase protection, we are too far past any other workable solution, in this blogger's opinion.

The request claims that the bright colors are a safety hazard.
The federal government requested that the town of Ames, Iowa get rid of its rainbow Pride crosswalks. But after mulling it over, the town's officials have decided to simply ignore the request.
The colored crosswalks are designed to represent the LGBTQ+ community. There's a Pride rainbow flag, a trans flag, and a non-binary flag, plus black and brown stripes for racial inclusivity.
City officials recently received a letter from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration requesting that they remove the crosswalks. The request claims that the bright colors are a safety hazard.
"Crosswalk art has a potential to compromise pedestrian and motorist safety by interfering with, detracting from, or obscuring official traffic control devices," the FHWA letter said, per CNN. "The art can also encourage road users, especially bicycles and pedestrians, to directly participate in the design, loiter in the street, or give reason to not vacate the street in an expedient or predictable manner. It also creates confusion for motorists, pedestrians, and other jurisdictions who may see these markings and install similar crosswalk treatments in their cities."
It concluded: "Allowing a non-compliant pavement marking to remain in place presents a liability concern for the City of Ames in the event of a pedestrian/vehicle or vehicle/vehicle collision."
However, the city council has opted not to comply with the request. They determined that the federal government has no jurisdiction over the streets in question.
"My only question is, do we need to do anything?" council member Chris Nelson asked at a recent meeting, the Ames Tribune reports. "Can we just accept the letter and say thank you?"
Since the Pride crosswalks don't appear to violate any actual rules, that's exactly what they're going to do.

Q: Word to describe ability to find anything on the internet I've got a knack for being able to find almost anything on the internet. I'm very tech savvy and know the ways to really get the most out of search engines using symbols and codes to filter results.
Besides that, I seem to be able to identify rather quickly web sites that contain information that's relevant to my research, and those that do not. I can find those little corners of the internet that have the scraps of information I'm looking for. Often, when someone else cannot find information, I'm able to.
I believe there's a word for this type of skill. Several months ago, I thought I had come across the word, but now I seem to have lost it. The irony that I can't find the word to describe my ability to locate lost things on the internet is not lost on me. :)
Does anybody know of a word to describe an ability to excel at research and locating information?
So, rather than saying "That guy is good at finding information." You might say "That guy has great [word] skills." Or "That guy excels at [word]."
I've heard "Google-Fu" before, and it's funny, but I can't put that on a resume.
"Research" is a good word, but I don't feel it quite clearly defines what I'm trying to say.

An RS dinghy with two adults on board capsized close to the Higher Ferry. Their safety boat was in attendance and alerted the Coastguard when the two crew were unable to right the dinghy with all its sails still up and being pressed against the deep water pontoon by the tide. The RNLI Dart D class lifeboat was exercising with the RNLI Dart B class lifeboat at the mouth of the river and was able to reach the sailors within three minutes of being tasked by the Coastguard. The D class crew were able to right the dinghy after one of the sailors was able to release the spinnaker halyard and lower the sail whilst the crew of the B class lifeboat assisted from the pontoon. The D class took the boat and its crew to the Higher Ferry landing slip. One of the crew changed out of their wet sailing gear in the lifeboat station.
Lifeboat underway at time of request.

A középkori két Miskolc, azaz a kétközpontú Miskolc a város 14. századi története során jött létre, amikor a középkori városok fejlődésében ha nem is egyedülálló, de rendkívül ritka események, illetve folyamatok zajlottak le. 1364-ben Nagy Lajos király birtokcserével megszerezte a várost, és átfogó területrendezést hajtott végre benne, aminek eredményeként kialakult Miskolcon egy Óváros és egy Újváros nevű városrész. A két városrész többé-kevésbé önállóan intézte ügyeit, külön főbírájuk volt, és a 15. századra az Újvárosnak saját plébániája, illetve temploma is lett. A város története e sajátos szakaszának a török uralom vetett véget.

Története, kialakulása
Miskolcot a 14. század elejéig a Miskolc nemzetség, majd 1312-től a Szécsi család birtokolta. A király 1360-ban megerősítette a Szécsiek birtokjogát, és Miskolcot "villa maior"-nak nevezte, ami azt jelentette, hogy a város már jelentősebb, vásárjoggal rendelkező település volt. A Szécsiek 1364-ig maradtak földesurai, ekkor Nagy Lajos király birtokcserével megszerezte a várost, és a diósgyőri uradalomhoz csatolta. Az esemény fontos fordulópont volt Miskolc történetében, területrendezéssel járt, ami átalakította a település szerkezetét, létrehozva az Óvárost és az Újvárost. Az Óvárosban a Szinvával párhuzamos Piac utca két oldalán mértek ki telkeket, így alakult ki a jellegzetes piacutcás szerkezet, míg az Újváros a Pece pataktól északra, egy háromszög alakú területen jött létre, a mai Deák Ferenc téren és környékén. Az Újváros elnevezés először egy 1376-ból fennmaradt okiratban fordul elő, mely szerint a miskolci tanács egyik, Mátyás nevű tagja az Újvárosból került be a négy esküdt közé. Az a tény, hogy az Újvárost I. Lajos király idején említik, azt jelenti, hogy már korábban is létezett, de az Óvárossal közel egyenrangú, saját plébániával is rendelkező településsé csak a 15. században vált. Még 1411-ben is, amikor Zsigmond király plébánosválasztási jogot adományozott Miskolcnak, csak egy plébániája volt a városnak, az avasi Szt. István-plébánia, illetve templom. Ezt a templomot egyaránt használták az óvárosi és az újvárosi hívek is.

Az újvárosi Szűz Mária- vagy Boldogasszony-plébánia temploma 1411 és 1445 között jött létre. Először egy 1445-ből származó pápai oklevélben említik, amelyben egyébként a két miskolci városrészt Ómiskolc (Antiquummiskocz) és Újmiskolc (Nouamiskocz) néven említik. Az újvárosi plébánia kialakulása a város(rész) erősödését jelzi, miként az is, hogy az óvárosi Papszerhez hasonlóan itt is kialakítottak zsellérsort az Újváros délkeleti sarkában, a Peceszert vagy Boldogasszonyszert (a Papszerhez hasonlóan ezt is nevezték néha Egyházszernek), amelynek lakói az újvárosi a plébániának szolgáltak. Ugyanezt az önállósodást jelzi, hogy az Újvárosnak saját hetipiaca is volt, az oklevelek szerint hétfőn, miközben az Óvárosban szerdán, Diósgyőrben pedig szombaton volt a hetipiac.

Az Újváros jellemzően a Pecétől északra feküdt, az Óvárossal a kelet-észak irányú országút része, a Boldogasszony, azaz a mai Déryné utca, illetve a Városház térből északra nyíló Mészár utca kötötte össze. A két város fejlődése, a népesség növekedése, illetve az áthaladó kereskedelem bővülése miatt új utca megnyitására volt szükség a városrészek között, ez volt a Czikó (ma Kossuth) utca, amely mint városi beltelek, a Pecéig, mintegy "határvízig" futott, és haladt tovább az Újváros irányába.

Újmiskolc vagy Újváros erősödését szolgálta a városmagnak számító háromszögletű téren (ma Deák Ferenc tér) épített Szűz Mária vagy más néven Boldogasszony plébániatemplom, amelynek maradványait a téren, a mai Minorita templomtól nyugatra találták meg. Más forrás a korabeli templomot, az alapozáskor fellelt maradványok alapján, a mai templom helyén valószínűsíti, egy korabeli alaprajzi vázlat is fennmaradt róla, amit a minorita írnok készített. A templomról viszonylag kevés adat maradt fenn, de egy Vatikánban őrzött okiratban szó van Szent Katalin-oltáráról, valamint megemlítik, hogy 1524-ben Nathi (talán Nagy) András volt a káplánja. A Boldogasszony-templom valószínűleg egyszerűbb és kisebb volt, mint az Avasi templom. Feltehetően két ütemben épült, előbb egy többszögű, egyterű szentély épülhetett meg, majd később ehhez illesztettek egy előcsarnokot vagy hajót. Ez a templom kelet-nyugati tájolású volt, míg a ráépített Minorita templom észak-déli tájolású. Miskolc két egyházi intézményét, az ómiskolci (Antiquamiskocz) Szent István- és az újmiskolci (Nouamiskocz) Boldogasszony-plébániát két 1445-ös iratban együtt említik, amelyekben a rektor és a plébánosok búcsúengedélyt kérnek a pápától.

Miskolc középkorvégi településszerkezetére az 1563-as összeírás alapján lehet következtetni. Az adatok szerint az Újváros majdnem elérte az Óváros nagyságát. Mindkét városban telkes jobbágyok éltek, a zselléreket külön utcákban (szer) helyezték el. A feljegyzés szerint Miskolcon 136 lakott fundus és 2 lakatlan üres háztelek volt, az Újvárosban 108 lakott és 19 lakatlan telkest írtak össze, a nemesi házak száma 17, illetve 4 volt.

A kétközpontú, Ó- és Újvárost magába foglaló településszerkezet kialakulását és fejlődését a város népességének gyors növekedése idézhette elő, nem a tulajdonos különbözősége és nem a város lakosainak státusz szerinti elkülönülése. A két városrész a középkorban jött létre, de a különállás nem élte túl a középkort, aminek az oka a török hódítás volt. A törökök 1544-ben feldúlták, felégették Miskolcot, két templomát is. Az avasi templomot a város lakói helyreállították, mellette harangtornyot állítottak, a Boldogasszony-templomot azonban nem építették újra, de romjai még sokáig fennmaradtak. Egy 1690-es vármegyei jegyzőkönyv így ír egy házról: "Újváros nevű utcában, a puszta templomhoz közel", illetve megemlíti "az puszta templomnál lévő" utcát is. A török kori Miskolc már nem tudott két várost (városrészt) fenntartani, a teljes reformáció után pedig Miskolc megelégedett egyetlen templommal. Az Újváros ezután csak a hagyományokban, illetve utcanévben élt tovább. Az újkorban a mai Palóczy, Batthyány és Horváth Lajos utcákat nevezték Újváros utcának, a 19. század végén, a 20. század első felében pedig a mai Szentpáli István utca viselte ezt a nevet (Kis Újváros utca).

Közigazgatás

A két városnak saját bírája és esküdt bírái voltak. Az újvárosi és az óvárosi (fő)bírót egy 1461-ben kelt királyi adománylevél említi először. Fontos megjegyezni, hogy a két bírói testület a várost érintő fontosabb kérdésekben együtt lépett fel, így az oklevélkiadásban is. A két bíró együtt szerepel Candale-i Anna magyar királyné 1503-as adománylevelében. Az újvárosi bíró csak egyetlen saját oklevelet adott ki 1521-ben, amely Vég Gergely főbíró, valamint Ideges Miklós és Mikos János esküdtek egy adásvételt foglaltak írásba, miszerint Mészáros Máté, az újvárosi Kiskassa utcán lévő telkét eladta az óvárosi Dobolczay Benedeknek. Az oklevelet zöld viaszpecséttel látták el, de ennek csak a körvonalai maradtak meg. Az újvárosi önálló pecséthasználat nem valószínű, mert Miskolc, illetve a két város együtt a királyfős pecsétet használta.

Azt lehet tudni, hogy az Újváros 1376-ban már létezett, de a közigazgatási megosztás időpontja nem pontosan ismert. Egy 1413-as oklevélben Jánost és Nykus fia Pétert mint Miskolc királyi város bíráit említik. 1433-ban egy újabb oklevélben Kajtár Gergelyt a régi város (antiquae civitatis) bírájának nevezik, 1461-től pedig ugyancsak oklevél tanúskodik arról, hogy az új városnak (novae civitatis, novi oppidi) saját bírája volt. A két bíró együttműködése nem egészen világos, de több oklevél tartalma alapján vélhető, hogy egyenrangúak voltak, s az a tény, hogy az esküdtek száma nem duplázódott meg (a bíró mellett eredetileg négy esküdt (civis juratus) volt, a két városban kettő-kettő), arra utalhat, hogy a városvezetés a különállás idején is egységes maradt. Amellett, hogy a város vezetése kifelé egységes volt, az okiratok alapján feltételezhető, hogy a fő(bb) bíró mégis az Óváros bírája volt. Az okiratok, illetve az írásbeli ügyintézés megkívánta az írástudó emberek meglétét a tanácsban. Mivel Miskolc városi elöljárói esetén külön nem jelzik a litteratust, arra lehet következtetni, hogy írást, olvasást ismerő emberek voltak. Ez azzal is magyarázható, hogy már 1453 előtt iskola működött a városban. Mivel az esküdtek feladata szűkebb lakóhelyük közösségének képviselete volt, úgy tűnik, hogy az elkülönülés ellenére csak az történt, hogy az igazgatási feladatokat területi elven osztották meg az egyébként egységes tanács tisztségviselői között. Az 1563-as urbárium is két városrészt mutat, az Óvárost, amelyet itt egyszerűen csak "városnak" neveznek (Oppidum Miskolcz), és az Újvárost, amelyet a város részeként ("Wiiuaras in eodem oppido Miskolcz") említenek. Ez is arra utal, hogy a különállás inkább csak városrész jellegű, és nem volt egyértelmű a két város igazgatási elválása.

Judge to Schedule First Trial in Freddie Gray Case
A judge was expected to decide when the first of six Baltimore officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray, a black man who died after suffering injuries in police custody, will go to trial.
Judge Barry Williams has called a scheduling conference Tuesday afternoon to determine when and in what order the officers, who face charges ranging from second-degree assault to second-degree "depraved-heart" murder, will be tried.
Williams ruled earlier this month that each officer will get his or her own trial. The state indicated in a letter sent to the judge that they want between three and five days to present their case against each officer, and intend to call at least one officer to testify against the others.
Gray died April 19, a week after he was injured. His death inspired protests and rioting in Baltimore, and came to symbolize the treatment of black men by police in America, and shed light on long-standing and systemic disenfranchisement of African American populations in the city.
Attorneys for the six officers asked Williams to move the trials outside of Baltimore, citing pre-trial media coverage they say could prejudice a jury. Williams ruled to keep the trials in Baltimore, but kept the door open to re-evaluate his decision should the state and defense run into problems seating a jury.
The first trial is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 13, however Williams will likely push back that date Tuesday. It is unclear whether Williams will schedule all the trials, or set the date only for the first one.
Prosecutors have asked to try Officer William Porter, who is charged with manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office charges, first, and suggested in a letter to the judge that the state intends to call Porter to testify against Sgt. Alicia White, who faces identical charges, and Officer Caesar Goodson, who faces an additional "depraved-heart" murder charge. Officers Garrett Miller and Edward Nero face misdemeanor assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment charges, as does Lt. Brian Rice, who also faces a manslaughter charge.

Wagons That Won The West Most covered wagons used in the westward expansion was farm wagons with canvas tops.
by Marshall Trimble | Dec 2, 2020 | True West Blog
Prairie Schooner
Prairie Schooners
Most covered wagons used in the westward expansion was farm wagons with canvas tops. Emigrants traveling on the Oregon and California Trails didn't use the big, heavy Conestoga wagons. They preferred Prairie Schooners. A wagon had to be light enough to not over tax the mules or oxen that pulled it and strong enough not to break down under loads of as much as 2,500 pounds. For these reasons, wagons were constructed of such hardwoods as maple, hickory and oak. Iron was used only to reinforce parts that took the greatest beating such as tires, axles and hounds. An emigrant wagon was not comfortable to ride in, since wagons lacked springs and there was little room to sit inside the wagon because most space was taken up with cargo.
As families moved west, a prairie schooner pulled by teams of mules or oxen was a common choice. It was like the Conestoga wagons, but much lighter with a flat body and lower sides. They were typically covered with white cloth and from a distance resembled a ship. Emigrants in Prairie Schooners often traveled in convoys and covered up to 20 miles a day which meant an overland trip could take only five months.

Although there are no complaints or reports of illness, Kraft Heinz recalled its Taco Bell Salsa Con Queso over botulism risk. About 59,000 jars could potentially lead to botulism if eaten. The voluntary recall is on 15-ounce glass jars with "best when used by" dates of Dec. 27, 2018, and Jan. 23, 2019. The affected items are showing signs of product separation, which can allow for the growth of the bacteria that causes botulism. Botulism is rare but can be fatal, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The illness can cause difficulty breathing and muscle paralysis. Symptoms include blurred or double vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, a thick-feeling tongue, dry mouth and muscle weakness.


KUWAIT CITY, May 21: Head of the General Department for Residency Affairs Major General Talal Marafi revealed about a new project being prepared for issuing residency cards to expatriates instead of placing stickers in their passports, reports Al-Rai daily.
He explained that the residency cards will be issued when their residencies are granted or renewed. They will include the data of both the holder and sponsor.
This will in turn overcome a number of obstacles, including the phenomenon of sponsors keeping the passports of expatriates under their custody. No stickers will be placed in the passports, which will in turn save the pages of the passports especially since officials sometimes do not find free pages in the passports to place the stickers.
Major General Marafi said measures will be taken to guarantee the rights of the sponsor by banning expatriates from leaving the country without presenting their residency cards to ensure the approval of their sponsors, adding that such cards will ensure Kuwait's commitment to the recommendations of international organizations.
In a related development, Major General Marafi announced that commercial and visit visas can be extended starting from next week based on specific circumstances and situations, adding that this facility is an exception and not permanent.

Three Wins Big at the 2012 uSwitch Awards
Submitted by Mark Dawkins on Mon, 19/11/2012 - 09:24
3 Declared Best Network and Fastest Network
The uSwitch awards took place last week in the heart of London in Covent Garden. Of the 14 awards being judged, Three lived up to its name, taking home a hat-trick of victories including "Best Network" for the second time running as well as "Best for Roaming" and "StreetStats 3G Fastest Network"!
Three's awards stemmed from the sweeping revisions they've made to their services over the past year and have really gone to prove their standing as one of the major networks in the UK right now. With HSPA+ implementation, Three hope to maintain the fastest network award for the foreseeable future with speeds that rival 4G! The benefits of this service are already clear to see with the speed tests conducted by the uSwitch mobile app and come at no extra cost to customers! Three's offering of unlimited data, as well as their exciting new Euro Internet Pass which offered unlimited internet access abroad from £5 per day, allow Three to offer you the most flexible and generous packages available right now and with worldwide data roaming limits set at £49 per month, it's easy to see why the public and the judges voted in Three's favour.
Along with the network categories, a number of awards were also handed out to individual manufacturers, with Apple and Samsung reaping the most of the evening's victories. Apple's iPhone range and iOS revisions netted them the awards for "Best Design" and "Most Easy to Use" while Samsung's Galaxy series, specifically the S3 and the Note II, were likely the main reason behind their claim to the "Best Manufacturer" and "Best Use of Android" awards.
This is the second year for the uSwitch awards and it's likely to become a mainstay in the mobile calendar in the upcoming years. Hitwise, a company specialising in online information, listed uSwitch as the 2nd most popular website for Business and Finance utilities in the UK for two years running, placing them at the forefront of online comparison sites.
The awards were decided through a combination of public polls as well as industry experts. These 9 judges were comprised of a few members of the uSwitch editorial team as well as a collection of well-known consultants and reporters with prestigious backgrounds working at such establishments as Forbes, the Inquirer, CNET, the BBC and T3. With around half of them having stayed on after the debut awards in 2010, it seems as though uSwitch will continue to have a decent body of talent from which to draw expert opinions and evaluations for the next few years.
Perhaps most interesting of all though is the information they've gathered through their Mobile Awards Survey, making the awards an accurate metric of just what the public think of the various networks and services available to them. The uSwitch awards serve as a well put-together guide to the very best that retail and networks have to offer and we look forward to seeing the list of nominees (and eventually winners!) for 2013.


A suspected bank robber was shot and wounded by a Stanwood Police Department deputy on patrol around 10:40 this morning.
Police said the robbery occurred at a Key Bank branch at 26606 72nd Ave N.W.
Shots were fired, although it's unclear whether the suspect fired. Both the deputy and the suspect ended up in the Haggen's supermarket parking lot, said Everett Police Department spokesman Aaron Snell, who is a member of the law enforcement team that investigates officer-involved shootings.
The suspect was hit by gunfire and airlifted to a hospital. His condition was not publicized by police, but Snell said he was taken into custody.
Neither the officer nor the bank employees were hurt during the incident.
Snell said that police have confirmed that the suspect had a firearm and detectives are investigating whether it was fired.
The Stanwood deputy is a 14-year law enforcement veteran and has been placed on administrative leave during the investigation.
While some witnesses have reportedly said the man was fleeing the bank on a bicycle before he was shot, Snell said police have not been able to confirm that.

Reinventing classics: 'Agamemnon,' 'The Mysteries' and 'After Miss Julie'
Stories of power, betrayal and sacrifice of innocents
Reviews by Lucy Komisar
It's not there are no new stories. Playwrights' fascination with reinventing the old ones is a combination of respectful homage and an assertion that the nature of peoples' personal and political relationships are in the fundamentals largely unchanging. Betrayal, for example, and the tension between the powerful and the powerless. There's also a playfulness at cutting and pasting to create a new vision out of the old cloth.
I've just seen three plays – two in New York, one in London – that rework some old favorites to splendid effect. Starting chronologically there are the Greeks, but then who would expect a rewrite of the Bible! Finish with a modern take on gender and class.
"Agamemnon"
adapted by Peter Meineck from the play by Aeschylus, 525-456
directed by Robert Richmond with Peter Meineck
John Jay Theatre
10th Avenue & 58th Street
through Feb. 22
www.aquilatheatre.com
Photos by Richard Termine
The elders of Argos, in gray great coats and fedoras, make it clear that Peter Meineck (translator/adapter) and Robert Richmond (director) think that not much has changed in the way men go to war since the ancient Greeks sent their ships against Troy. And that the excuse of defending the "honor" of Helen was just that – an excuse – as Clytemnestra (Olympia Dukakis), who breathes contempt for her duplicitous husband, Agamemnon (Louis Zorich), exhorts, "Don't turn your anger against Helen." The male ego that sacrifices his daughter Iphigenia to get the gods to fill the fleet's sails is the same one who, Clytemnestra spits out, is "the seducer of every little trophy in Troy." He has brought back young Cassandra (Miriam Laube) as booty.
The lookout (a superb Louis Butelli), clownish in a wool hat, clings to a platform suspended from the ceiling by chains and seems to represent the ever-clueless public waiting helplessly to see what fate will bring. He is looking for the fires that will signal Greek victory in Troy. A gung-ho foot soldier (John Sierros) talks jingoistically about "the gods' justice" that calls for destruction of Troy and death to her citizens. He radiates the enthusiasm of a football fan.
So Aeschylus (525-456 BC) had it right. First comes the slaughter of the innocent and the young, starting with the children of Thyestes, who were killed by their tyrannical uncle Atreus (Agamemnon's father) and fed to the unsuspecting Thyestes. His curse is laid on the family. When war with Troy is launched, Agamemnon sacrifices his own daughter. There follow the young men killed on the field of battle and Cassandra, the plaything taken from Troy by Agamemnon.
The murder of tyrants begets more tyranny. Clytemnestra's lover, Aegisthus (given a stunning performance by Marco Barricelli), who is the surviving child of Thyestes and her partner in the regicide, wears his black jacket with a thuggish sense of entitlement.
With a minimalist set, the performance is enhanced by Richmond's dance-like movements, Meineck's lighting that moves like a spotlight on speakers, and the rumbling dramatic music of Anthony Cochrane. Meineck's translation is colloquial, yet it preserves the gravitas of the original.
Dukakis as Clytemnestra makes her human and contemporary – and sometimes so natural the character seems underplayed. She erupts in riveting power as she calls down vengeance against her husband's bloody legacy.
Agamemnon, who arrives in an army jeep, has a sense of tragic nobility; this man ready to spill innocent blood is not portrayed by Zorich as a heinous villain – just your ordinary (albeit cheating) husband.
Laube's Cassandra, Middle Eastern in her chants and flowing white robe, is a prophet who seems possessed by religious fundamentalism. This is a production that ties together the wars of the ages.
"The Mysteries"
plays from the York and Wakefield Cycles, translated by Tony Harrison
directed by Brian Kulick
The Classic Stage Company
136 E. 13 St. at 3rd Avenue
(closed Feb. 15)

Ah, the evil of rulers and the slaughter of the innocents. Segue to the Bible.
Classic Stage director Brian Kulik takes up the subtle task of turning the Bible on its head by starting off with sometimes flippant versions of naïve 15th-century morality tales of the Old and New Testaments, adapted by Tony Harrison, a British poet and translator, and then moving to acerbic modern takes on those religious stories and myths.
Kulik's God (the avuncular Sam Tsoutsouvas) and his angels wear gray overcoats and scarves. It gives them a slightly corporate tinge. The sawdust floor is edged with plain tables that could be an old-fashioned schoolroom or library reading room, or is it a board room? Creation is efficient: snap, there are plants; snap, someone holds up a dead mouse.
Adam and Eve (Chandler Williams and Jennifer Rozell) arrive in the Garden. Yes, we know they were naked, but this kind of verisimilitude is tiresome. What about a less distracting body stocking? After all, did God wear a gray overcoat? Was Noah's wife a shrew? Are you getting into the Bible as real life? This is more like TV sitcom slapstick: the couple, donning yellow slickers, are drenched by pails of water.
We see also stunning tragedy: Abraham (John Rothman) about to kill his son Isaac (Michael Stuhlbarg) on God's orders. It makes you think about the fanaticism of people to whom God "spoke." It occurred to me more than a few times that this Isaac was mentally disturbed. What happens today to people who talk to God and kill?
Where is it all leading? Did you identify with "the mysteries" of the Middle Ages? Then shift to today where the stories, written by modern authors, bypassing tales of creation to depict the violence and oppression men wrought afterwards. If the "mysteries" expressed their authors' wonder, these stories reflect their cynicism.
Dario Fo, the radical and caustic Italian playwright, has written a hysterically funny satire on organized religion with the resurrection of Lazarus hyped as a media event. In "Raising of Lazarus," spectators from Bethany watch Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead, jostling for a better view, pushing the short kid to the back. Hand waves and calls of "Jesus!" sound like the cries aimed at rock stars and other celebs. "Do the miracle, the fishes and the loaves!".
The Montenegrin Borislav Pekic's "Miracle at Bethany" adds a black comedy coda, with poor Lazarus (Sam Tsoutsouvas) protesting to the Sanhedrin elders that he doesn't want to keep getting resurrected again and again. Just let him die in piece!
Mikhail Bulgakov, the Russian satirist, in "Pontius Pilate" shows that Roman official (John Rothman) surrounded by black-booted thugs as he questions the young radical Jesus (Michael Stuhlbarg). The poor pompous autocrat is feeling sickly (too much drink) and is being worked over by his masseur. Jesus talks about power of the state, and says that every kind of power is a form of violence against people. But the Roman marks him as a subversive.
Fo's "The Fool Beneath the Cross," from his famous "Mistero Buffo," shows the crucifixion as brutal torture carried out by dice-shooting workers who hammer in nails while "Jesus" (Stuhlbarg again) screams. An ordinary guy, a fool (Bill Buell), wants to cut him down, but when he rolls the dice to win Jesus' freedom (Judas would die in his place), the martyr insists on staying on the cross to die for people's sins.
What will that get? "There will be something in gold, they will be diamonds." (Did you ever see the jewels of the Vatican treasury?) There will be killing in his name, "It's not worth the effort," screams the fool. So, who was the fool?
Mary (the powerful Carmen Roman) is quiet, desperate in her grief, and talks of the evils of war. Now the early personal tragedies of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and Christ become the mass social tragedies of our time. Suddenly, it comes together: a morality tale, just like in the Bible.
The acting is excellent and Kulik's direction brings heightened moments of comedy and tragedy to the stage.
"After Miss Julie"
adapted by Patrick Marber from "Miss Julie" by August Strindberg
directed by Michael Grandage
Earlham Street
(closed Feb. 7)

The personal is also political, as dramas about power relationships show the way class and gender roles play out. Ironically, August Strindberg was a misogynist who believed women were "stunted ... foolish ... evil ... useful only as an ovary and womb." But the prism through which we (and perhaps some contemporary audiences) view the play today when it's placed in 1888 makes it clear that if Julie was stunted, it was by the restrictions on women.
Patrick Marber's take – strikingly directed by Michael Grandage – focuses more on class; his Julie seems too modern and independent to suffer limitations of her sex. She appears bored rather than repressed. Marber is making a subtle political comment: his Julie (Kelly Reilly) is the daughter of a Labor peer, and this is the celebration of the party's 1945 electoral victory held at his estate. In the original, the gentry and the common folk meet on Midsummer Eve, when "all of us are of the same class." But it's a phony equality. So, says Marber, is the politics that enshrines a Labor lord. In case it needs emphasis, this Labor peer despises the lower classes.
John the chauffeur (Richard Coyle) has panache, style, presence, more character than the manipulative Julie. Reilly plays her as sultry, even, rude, neurotic even hysterical, slutty in her tight red-flowered dress. He is more sophisticated than one might expect from a chauffeur.
He gives her a beer. They drink ironically "to socialism ... to the workers." "Now kiss my boot," she declares.
But this worker is self-assertive. He tells her she is patronizing to staff, then adds he knows she can't help it: "It's in your blood." He says, "We had a roll in the hay, forget it." She: "Remember your position." He: "Which one? There were so many."
Finally, class doesn't trump gender. A nobleman may take a servant mistress, but it doesn't work the other way around. Julie is the one who pays for breaking the rules. As for the upper classes, there's this quip to ponder, about the man the Labor party defeated in 1945: "The wine is like Winston Churchill: robust, full-bodied and finished."

A collection of songs covered by Neil Young Live culled from multiple radio shows.
Neil Young is very spontaneous and changes his genre of choice with regularity, exploring country music one year, rockabilly another and R&B the next - with a dose of computer generated sonic experimentation thrown in for good measure. Thus we have heard versions of Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay", Elvis' "That's All Right Mama" and Don Gibson's "Oh Lonesome Me", all rubbing shoulders with Young originals at one time or another during the great man's live career. This deluxe vinyl release collects together 16 startlingly original non-originals performed by Neil Young, taken from various FM broadcasts of live concerts recorded between 1970 and 1993.

Anyone who reads this column on a regular basis knows how much I love camps. While much of my attention is focused on Falls Creek Baptist Conference Center because of the sheer magnitude of its ministry, it is not our only camp. We are privileged to have a children's mission camp near Davis called CrossTimbers Children's Mission Adventure Camp.
Maybe a little history on CrossTimbers would be helpful. CrossTimbers was born out of the combination of the GA camp called Nunny Cha-ha located up the hill from Falls Creek and the RA camp called Hudgens, which was located near McAlester. The new ministry was called CrossTimbers and became a coed camp for children that gives priority to teaching about missions. The Gospel is clearly proclaimed in evening services, and many children come to faith in Christ.
Three years ago, we had the opportunity to purchase, with a gift from Hobby Lobby, an Assembly of God camp just over the hill from Falls Creek. This location centralized our camping ministry. The camp was in pretty good condition, but following the purchase, the convention invested nearly $1 million on upgrades, recreation, and infrastructure. CrossTimbers is a beautiful facility designed to serve children in the summer, and can accommodate church events during the rest of the year.
The old CrossTimbers camp near McAlester is for sale. Nunny Cha-ha is now used to house Falls Creek staffers.
As important as facilities are, the ministry is far more important. Consider that since moving the coed camp from McAlester, attendance at CrossTimbers has almost doubled. That means nearly 5,000 children and sponsors attend during the summer. There has been an accompanying increase in decisions for Christ.
The one thing that distinguishes CrossTimbers from so many other camps is its focus on missions. Glenn Barber, camp program director, and his staff teach and intertwine the story of missions from the front door of the church to the ends of the Earth, day in and day out. Children meet and hear about missionaries who give their lives to reach the unreached with the Gospel.
I am very proud that, in creative and clear ways, the CrossTimbers staff teach children about the Cooperative Program and how it works. Unfortunately, so many Baptists grow up without understanding the fundamental way Southern Baptists fund their mission work.
I have parents tell me often of how excited their children are when they return home from CrossTimbers. These children have had an enormous amount of fun, met new friends, and been touched deeply by God's Word.
CrossTimbers is one of the treasures of Oklahoma Baptist life. We are thankful for those who served at Hudgens and Nunny Cha-ha. We are humbled by the generosity of Hobby Lobby in giving us this beautiful facility called CrossTimbers. Most of all, we rejoice in the faithful team led by Glenn Barber who leads the ministry of CrossTimbers.

Will Liam's baby sister ever grow up into a proper playmate?
Waiting is hard. Liam waited through half of kindergarten for his baby sister to be born. Then, when little Sophie finally comes home, he discovers she won't be ready to play with him for a long, long time. As the months pass, everyone says that Liam is Sophie's favorite. He is the best at making her laugh and burp, but laughing and burping are not enough for Liam. With the help of Nana-Downstairs, he designs and builds a Get Older Faster Machine. It doesn't seem to work on Sophie, but maybe Sophie is not the only one doing some growing up.
In Waiting for Sophie, multi-award-winning author Sarah Ellis introduces a warm, funny, down-to-earth family gracefully navigating a time of change together. Illustrator Carmen Mok renders them sweetly in approachable color illustrations. Appealingly packaged in a hardcover book with a reinforced binding, Liam's trials, mishaps, and triumphs will speak to young readers who are making the transition to chapter books.
