I believe in ribbons and shiny gift wrap. I believe it's the thought that counts. I believe that presentation makes the gift, that personal touches are the most meaningful of all. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I wish you a joyous and peaceful day filled with wonder and happiness.

On Light And Darkness
The most creative of us feel things deeply and passionately and
although that's an amazingly beautiful thing, it can also lead us to
dark places that we have to find our way out of without a flashlight.
It happens to me from time to time. Unpredictably and inconveniently,
without warning... It never gets easier, but you learn to manage through
it, to let it pass, to keep walking even though you don't know when (or
if) you'll find enough light within yourself to escape. But you
have to embrace the darkness, to let it pass through you and believe
that there is more than just this. There is life waiting for you on the
other side. Life and beauty and art and love. ~KLiedle/@cococaffeine

Baseball's Early Players: A Worthwhile Documentary Project
"Baseball is ballet without music. Drama without words..." wrote sportscaster Ernie Harwell in his baseball essay, 'The Game For All America' (originally published in the 1955 edition of The Sporting News)
There's a history behind baseball. A connection to the past. A tradition to enjoy into the future. It's a sport I've always loved. I can watch 'Field Of Dreams' any day. I've seen Ken Burns baseball documentary. Sometimes, I'll listen to a ballgame on AM radio while sitting in traffic just so I can feel like I'm at the ballpark. And so there's a sadness I feel when autumn rolls around and I hear the beginnings of football being uttered on the airwaves. Because the next baseball season feels so far away...
Sure, we're well into football season but in Sunday's Los Angeles Times, baseball still reigned. And I was delighted to see this. The cover story of the travel section highlighted Cooperstown, New York. Someday, I want to visit Cooperstown, home to Baseball's Hall Of Fame. As kids, my father talked about taking my brother there. But never me. Maybe because I'm a girl and he didn't think I'd be interested. Although I may not be fanatical about rooting for certain teams, I enjoy baseball for the true sense of it-- for the pure 'love of the game.'
Neftalie Williams, a USC grad student, grew up riding skateboards, not eating hotdogs and watching ballplayers with awe at a local ballpark. But for the next five years, his life will be all about baseball. His mission is to document the momentous and rocky beginnings of Major League Baseball's racial integration from 1947 to 1971. He wants to capitalize on living history by reaching out to each and every living African-American baseball player from that era. His hope is to interview them on camera, record their thoughts, their stories, their emotions from that time. By the end, if it all goes well, he'll not only have a comprehensive catalog of baseball's history, but our history as well. I wish him the best of luck in his mission. I think it's an absolutely worthwhile cause and a project I feel I'd enjoy researching myself. Without The Los Angeles Times, I never would've heard of Neftalie Williams nor his baseball project or his passion. To learn more, read the original article, Living Bridges To History by LA Times writer, Zach Helfand.

2015 California On Location Awards Finalsts Announced
Check out your favorite Location Professionals! Finalists announced for 2015 COLA's.

— COLA Awards (@caonlocation) August 26, 2015
There is no Emmy or Oscar category available for Film and Television Location professionals. However, once a year, we do get recognized by the California On Location Awards (COLA Awards.) Today, nominations for the 2015 COLA Awards were announced and I'm proud to say that our Location Team for "True Detective" is one of the finalists. I worked on the show for seven months last year. In that time, we shot all eight episodes of the season like back-to-back feature films. It was a huge and ambitious undertaking.
Although this past season was widely panned by critics and audiences for varying reasons, that in no way detracts from the immense effort that all of us put forth in scouting far and wide for gritty and unique locations for the show. Scouting took place all over Southern California and points North and once those locations were secured, coordination to make filming happen was an immense task all its own. Congrats to everyone nominated for the COLAs. Because more often, we aren't noticed at all, but on-location filming is an important component to giving life to film and television productions.
