Kane Farabaugh's Kanestergram

Dear all Its been a while but finally here is the first edition of our newsletter which should be regular but we’ll just have to wait and see…. After 3 weeks in the UK (including a fab week in Scotland touring one or two whisky distilleries…), we finally got on the plane to the US on Thursday Sept 1. We left ourselves a 6 hour gap between arriving in Washington DC and our connecting flight to Syracuse to allow for any delays I might have because of immigration. Unfortunately (or fortunately!) the immigration process took no longer than 10 minutes, so we had plenty of time eat, sit, walk around a bit, sit, read, sit and then catch our plane. We finally arrived in Syracuse at midnight. Kane started work on the Friday but it was mainly just a meet and greet and administration day. He was able to get off work early and the hunt for a new home began… After looking at some thoroughly disappointing places and also some fabulous loft apartments (which we had no hope of affording!), we fin...

Hello All! Long time since the Kanstergram made it's way to your inbox, but figured I would drop a line (albeit a quick one) to let you all know that we're making the move back to the states! Joanne and I will be in Washington D.C. starting September 1st. I'll be working at the Army's Walter Reed Army Medical Center as a producer / director there. Joanne will be immigrating to the states and we're both looking forward to our new adventure in the states with a lot of enthusiasm! While our physical address will change, you can all still reach me here at this e-mail address. Once we get settled and get a new address, I'll forward on the information.This is also a good time to have you respond with new or good e-mail addresses to keep on file for you. Also, those of you from Ottawa... any word on our high school reunion? I heard a whisper it was September 17th, but haven't heard anything else since then... if you have any information, I would be glad to hear...

Awards were given for radio, TV and New Media productions which made special contributions to the mutual understanding between the people of Germany and of the United States of America. Award Winners 2005 1ST RADIO AWARDS Arthur Landwehr (SWR) Religion & Wahlkampf in den USA Among Arthur Landwehr’s numerous contributions to SWR’s 2-week focus US program, his reports about the importance of religion in the American society are especially interesting to German listeners. In six relatively short spots he deals with “religion and consumption” in the United States (“which car would Jesus drive today?”). Topics include public demonstrations of religious conviction — e.g. saying grace in restaurants —, the self-financing of congregations employing professional business plans and the influence of religion on White House policy. The reports are straight forward, unbiased and very informative. The jury also acknowledges the focus US program itself, which broadcast numerous stories from many ...

LONDON - It’s been twenty eight years in the making. So the few hours of constant pouring rain and cold weather didn’t distract thousands of Star Wars fans camped out in London’s Leicester Square from lining up against the red carpet to usher in the newest, and last, installment of the most successful movie saga in history. If you are a fan of Star Wars, then Revenge of the Sith is more than just an episode… it’s a bridge between what is old and what is new. It’s one of those movies you’ve been waiting most or all of your life to see. To have those questions answered. Or at least one in particular. “What everyone wants to know,” says John Knoll, the man behind the curtains at George Lucas’s Industrial Light and Magic responsible for bringing the daring and epic space battles to life, “is what makes Darth Vader… Darth Vader. What makes Anakin Skywalker turn from the dark to the light.” Responsible for answering that question on screen is Canadian actor Hayden Christiansen. Off screen, o...
