    Police unable to question Woods

    Reuters - Sun, 29 Nov 08

    Florida troopers who sought to interview Tiger Woods and his wife on Saturday about how his SUV struck a fire hydrant and a neighbour's tree were told by his agent to come back the following day. Two Florida Highway Patrol vehicles had arrived at Woods' $2.4 million mansion outside Orlando, but the patrol later issued a statement that the interview was postponed to Sunday. "The Florida Highway Patrol has received information that Tiger Woods and his wife were not available to be interviewed as we had previously scheduled," Kim Montes, a sergeant with the FHP's Orlando division, said in a statement. "This announcement came from his (Woods') agent. Troopers were asked to return tomorrow (Sunday). This is still an ongoing crash investigation." Woods, 33, the greatest golfer of his generation and one of the world's most recognisable figures, hit a fire hydrant and tree as he pulled his Cadillac Escalade out of the driveway of his house at around 02:25 EST on Friday, the FHP said. He was taken to the hospital with some injuries, and released. Montes said no more information would be given until the "traffic crash" investigation was completed, but that 911 tapes from the incident would be released after being reviewed by the investigating trooper. "There is no specific timeline on when that will occur," she added. More than two dozen media and nine television trucks were camped outside the guarded gates of the exclusive Isleworth community when the FHP entered in their bid to interview Woods. Woods was treated at a nearby hospital early on Friday with what police described as "serious injuries," but the golfer's management team said the accident was minor and Woods had been released from the hospital in good condition after being treated. When police arrived at Woods' home shortly after the accident, the golfer was bleeding from the mouth and was "in and out of it for several minutes," Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor told CNN on Friday. He "was on the ground, semi-unconscious and had lacerations to the upper and lower lips," Saylor said, adding that Woods' Swedish wife, Elin Nordegren, used a golf club to smash a window of his SUV to get him out. Nordegren "explained to my officers that the doors were locked and she could not gain entry" into the crashed vehicle, so she "used a golf club" to smash a window, he said. Woods, who has had two young children with Nordegren since they married in 2004, was the only passenger in the vehicle, Saylor said. The accident was not alcohol-related, the FHP said. "The crash remains under investigation and charges are pending," it said. Woods' office, in a statement published on his website, said: "He was admitted, treated and released today in good condition. We appreciate very much everyone's thoughts and well wishes." Woods is scheduled to host his annual Chevron World Challenge tournament in Thousand Oaks, California, next week. It starts on Thursday and Woods was expected to hold a news conference on Tuesday. Woods is perhaps the world's richest athlete and the biggest draw in golf as he chases Jack Nicklaus' record for victories in Major tournaments and the unofficial title of best golfer ever. He has won 71 times on the US tour in a glittering career that includes 14 Major wins. He made a triumphant return to professional golf in February after being sidelined for eight months following reconstructive knee surgery, and finished on top of the FedEx Cup standings for the season.Reuters

    "I know a lot of hippies live in voluntary poverty, but we want to live here for 50 years,” says Dar Williams,
     pictured here with husband Michael Robinson, of their “proletarian Victorian” home.

    Dar Wiliams caught by the USAWeeklyNews cameras a long way from home, living it up at the Pleasance Bar, Edinburgh, Scotland celebrating with Dar's dedicated fans  and a world wing tour of the United Kingdom to packed audiences every where she went who would not let Dar leave the stage without coming at least  back three times
    Dar Williams The World's Favorite Hippy..Love..Peace... Man.. Folk Rock Singer Form New York, USA

    BY ANNE PYBURN CRAIG; PHOTOGRAPHS BY DEBORAH DEGRAFFENREID
    "The Easy Way," From Dar Williams' Latest Album, "Promised Land."

    We don’t live in a suburb—we live in a river town,” says singer/songwriter Dar Williams of her home in the Hudson Highlands. “It’s a connection to an element of nature that we can’t possibly master. It humbles us; it creates mildew and a certain amount of inherent seediness that comes with being a port on a trafficked waterway. The mountains are so much bigger than we are. I love that.” Critics say Williams’ work is “pleasingly plainspoken” (Rolling Stone) and “intelligent songwriting with comforting melodies” (Relix). Stereo-Type magazine speculated that she might be “the best female singer/songwriter in America today.” Rather than let it go to her head, Williams seems determined to stay her laid-back self, appearing in locales that are fighting to save an independent bookstore or coffee shop, inviting fans to help with tour publicity in exchange for free tickets and a chance to hang out, and supporting small nonprofits via her Echoes Initiative.
    Green consciousness for Williams and her family starts with the mundane little details and radiates onward to an entire way of relating to the world.
    “Touring inherently uses a lot of energy,” she observes. “You’re taking planes, staying in motels—I try to offset the inevitable footprint. They used to just automatically give me three plastic bottles of water: one backstage, one on stage, and one afterwards while I’m signing autographs. I’ve stopped that. I use my metal bottle now. It actually keeps better and tastes better. And I talk it up. I’m selling Dar Williams metal water bottles.” But she doesn’t stop there. “My car gets 45 miles per gallon. I turn off the lights when I leave a room. I tell the housekeeping staff not to bother cleaning my room and that I won’t tell the supervisor, so they’ll still get paid. Staying in motels, I’m concerned that they not bleach me a set of sheets every night. I try not to feel too much like Marie Antoinette, but then, if you’re going to use energy right now, maybe it’s OK to use it for art—the kind that gets people talking. Poetry is really important in terms of the human ecology. It helps minimize the degenerative, fear-based spinning of the wheels in our minds.” While Williams tries her best to live green on the road, it’s a little easier to live the lifestyle at home—being that she’s married to a green builder. Just one example is the array of solar panels added to her home in a historic neighborhood. 
    Williams and her husband, green builder Michael Robinson, knew that adding on to their 1886 home would require negotiations. “We won the first battle with the Architectural Review Board about changing the footprint pretty easily,” says Robinson. “We had an architect friend who charmed their socks off. Then we wanted to add solar. We thought, ‘Who’d object to a solar panel?’ Whoa! It caused quite a stir.”
    Robinson and Williams sought the advice of a friend who’d won a similar struggle in Kingston’s Rondout district. He recommended they photograph other anomalies within the historic district—cable boxes and cutouts made in clapboard to allow for air conditioning.
    “There was a precedent set by a couple in Scarsdale. They argued that it’s a utility, which it is,” says Williams. “Also, pollution has a negative impact on the history they’re trying to preserve.”
    The house is historic and cozy besides. Paperstone counters and a large center island dominate a homey kitchen. A masonry heater with a Finnish fireplace serves as a “giant radiator and a Colonial crock pot—we’ve made pizza, scones, and cookies in the bake oven part.” Original works by fellow Hudson Valley artists grace the walls.
    “This project went so beautifully,” says Steve Marchetti, the above mentioned diplomatic architect, “that it felt as though Michael and I were just skipping along down the path to completion. He used me the way a client should—let me guide the aesthetics—and meanwhile he was the green guru, taught me a lot of green things I’d never seen before and will be using from now on.”
    Robinson stresses taking the time to use common sense, not just trendy tactics. “You can use a million dollars worth of super spray foam insulation, and if it’s not done right, it’s wasted. We did a blower door test—before the sheetrock goes up, you shut all the doors and windows, and a giant fan sucks air through the house. Then you go around and fill the spots where the air comes through. Every insulator should do that.” 
    Williams chuckles. “We have an inch of rigid insulation. Michael walked around for days talking about people who do three inches,” she says. “That’s my man—if you want to live well, marry a builder.”
    Everything but the kitchen sink is rainwater-fed, from massive collectors buried in the backyard. Radiant floor heating, solar hot water, Icynene insulation, and low-volatile organic compound (VOC) finishes are all components of a lifestyle he describes as “a little obsessive” and she, “kind of Armageddonist. But there are gradations and trade-offs to everything. 
    “I make decisions every day that don’t fit some rigid definition of deep green. Probably my least green decision was to have a child,” she says. “And we’re adopting our second. Children inevitably bring a certain amount of plastic objects and rushed decisions, but I certainly wouldn’t change that choice for the world.”
    A super-deep tub and dual-flush toilet grace a bathroom with a spectacular view. Son Steven’s cozy room has a loft, where his bed will be when he’s a tad bigger. Each bedroom is its own heating and cooling zone. A Lifebreath air exchanger system and the equipment used to process the vegetable oil that powers Robinson’s truck are in the basement. 
    Landscape architect Mary Rice helped design and plant a mix of flowers and foodstuffs. “She was more radical than we were,” says Williams. “And I wanted some edibles. I remember visiting Jackson Browne’s manager 10 years ago, and his lawn was all arugula. That’s maybe extreme. Still…”
    “You know what’s amazing?” interjects Robinson. “Everybody in this town now has chickens.”
    “Yeah,” says Williams, “everybody’s getting chickens and bees. I see other harbingers of positive change—there’s a lot of preventive and holistic medicine coming in, and there are four places that have hootenannies and open mike jams. Just small local venues where it’s gone from two people having coffee to 10 people getting together. We humans need more time to sit and stew. If we’re ever going to get the great stuff going, like farm-to-school programs, it’ll come from people getting together, each bringing their ingredients—human stone soup.”

    Talented Scotish singer songwriter Adriana with Kathy..Dar and her Adriana's tour manager from Lonesome Highway PromotionsDar Williams... New York's most loved hippy...Folk Rock Singer...
    plays to packed audiences all of the United Kingdom at her UK November, 2009 Tour..
    suppported by talented singer songwriters Adriana form Scotland and Lynne Hanson from Ottawa, Canada

    Dar Williams is one of the true believers left in the world of "tell it as it is" ..as it was when she was at college during the good old "Hippy Days" where "honesty "and "The Truth is the Truth " was an expected norm, rather than rather than as it is now where "The Truth" has been replaced by what is called "political correctness".. The name of one of Dars first album's sums Dar's honest stanced on life aptly named "Honesty Room"...Dar Williams is a travelling "Honesty Room" when she sings and chats to her spell bound audiences that hang on to each spoken and sung word and musical sound that comes from Dar at all her performances...Dar Williams is never allowed to leave the stage without being demanded back at least three times untill Dar is so tired she just has to end it to go an have a cup of Organic Tea heated by a solar powered kettle...even though she was having trouble finding the sun while in Edinburgh in good old "Sunny Scotland" which Dar Williams describes as a city with so many beautiful things to get lost amongst..and may even end up dropping out there is later years when she makes her "Rock and Roll Millions".. Ha.Ha. Ha...as she says in great jest..as Dar Williams even though being one of the most talented people in the music business, would never swap her honesty and unwillingness to sell out to become just another Pop Singer for the money and the fame....Dar Williams in fact has a lot of trouble dealing with her new found world success as one of the greatest folk Rock singers this century ..
    The USAWeeklyNews has been filming Dar Williams for the last few years all around the world and is in the process in producing a music documentary of DarWilliams
    called "Honesty Room" which will premier on Australian Television and then around the rest of the world
