The extravagant two-minute film tells the story of a girls' night out at Christmas time. After arriving at a glamorous party, 'Clara' catches the eye of the 'Nutcracker Prince' and the pair begin to dance flirtatiously. However, the sinister 'Mouse King' also has sights set on Clara, and a thrilling dance sequence ensues as the men 'fight' over the woman.
Rather than sit back and watch, Clara joins in and rescues her preferred suitor before returning to party with her girlfriends. The film ends with the line: 'Spend time with the girls this Christmas'.
The main parts in the ad are played by Steven McRae and Thiago Soares, both principal dancers with The Royal Ballet, and Iana Salenko, guest principal with The Royal Ballet.
Fittingly, the work will make its TV debut tomorrow (Saturday 16 November) during the UK television premiere of the Oscar-winning feature film, Black Swan. The psychological thriller set in the world of the New York City ballet and the ad were both choreographed by Benjamin Millepied, the world-renowned dancer and incoming director of the Paris Opera Ballet.

Our strain is grown from seed originally from the Davis collection of which much of the seed was collected from improved grafted and wild selections found in the most northern part of its range. This strain is the most northern form found in the U.S. Our planting was started in 1988 and has grown to include other northern Illinois plants known for their large fruit size, flavor and productivity.
To germinate the seed: Plant outdoors in the fall in shade or part shade. Mulch over the seed with compost. Seedlings will emerge in July slowly. The plants will grow 1-4 inches tall in the first year until the root reaches 6-12 inches deep. For indoor germination: Put the seed in the refrigerator in lightly damp Canadian peat moss for 90-120 days. After 90-120 days, put at room temperature. Seeds will sprout slowly 30-60 days or more after dormancy. Put in at least 50 percent shade. When the root emerges careful not to snap it off when planting. Best in rich organic soil.
Unlike other seed companies our seeds are stored in moist peat moss and never allowed to dry out after we process them direct from our farm. That is why people experience so many failures with pawpaw seed. It has to be kept moist all the time or the seed will perish. Also never freeze the seed or any woody plant seed for that matter. Freezing is not dormancy for seeds in the refrigerator. What happens in your fridge is not the same as outdoor freezing.
For germination in the refrigerator: Store at 34-38 F (as close as possible) for 90-120 days in light moisture laden Canadian peat moss or other damp media. Remove from the fridge after cold and put at room temperature. Seeds will sprout in 30-60 days or more. Usually seeds emerge in July here in southern Michigan. The root comes first so careful not to break it off.
|Plant Specs
|Seed Source
|Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania
|Height (ft)
|Width (ft)
|Pollination Requirements
|Need 2 plants genetically different for fruit set. Our seeds fulfill this requirement.
|Does best in high organic soils but tolerates sand. Loam, clay loam, sandy loam, acidic
|Zone 4ish to zone 9. In colder short season areas the shorter season may not ripen the fruit all of the time.
|Ease of Cultivation
|Easy to grow from seed, but seed needs shade the first year to prevent leaf burn which destroys the seedling. Transplant after 1-2 years to its permanent location.

Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon 2
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Adults
This homemade costume for adults entered our 2014 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Jenni, the 'How to Train Your Dragon Hiccup' costume creator:
I am wearing the costume...I came up with the idea after watching "How to Train Your Dragon 2" I absolutely love Toothless!!! I so wanted him to be real! So I talked my sister, Pam, into helping me make him life sized!! The first thing I did was start with my costume of Hiccup. I went to Goodwill and found a black leather jacket. I cut it short and cut the sleeves off; then used the belt for the straps on the arm guards. The arm guards are made from the lower part of the sleeves and craft foam wrapped with foe leather. The left arm guard holds a small fake knife and the other holds a compass made from a few parts I found at Hobby Lobby. It was then glued to a band that fastens with velcro. The shoulder guards are made from craft foam wrapped with the upper arm part of the jacket. The Viking symbol is made out of craft foam also. It's amazing what you can do with hot glue and gorilla super glue! I really don't sew that much so this was a challenge :) I did however sew part of the shoulder guards on by hand along with gluing just to make sure they wouldn't fall off. The helmet is made entirely out of craft foam with an impression of a dragon symbol made from a pencil. I found out how to make a helmet on You Tube :) The foe leather chaps had to be hand sewn on me with the help of a friend and my sis. The vest was sewn by a friend with a sewing machine. The boots are made from an old pair I had that I sprayed and added craft foam to make them higher. One is wrapped with different kinds of ribbon and the other has a wine opener gadget on the front, tin lining the top and bottom, and silver spray painted tubing to look like Hiccups prosthetic leg. The belts around the waste were purchased at Walmart. The belt across the chest was purchased at Goodwill, and the dragon symbol on the belt across the chest was made from craft foam. The wig was purchased online.
The dragon is made from a donated sheep trailer that was in my uncles barn for years :) He is a tire salesman though so he put new tires on it for us. The inner structure is made out of 2x4 and 2x6 boards, metal lath, paper mache', and paper clay. The eyes are done with pastel on poster board domed with resin. The tongue and gums are made out of soft foam dipped in paint. The teeth are made from paper clay coated in plasti dip. The nails are paper clay as well. The wings are made from nylon fabric hand sewn on a wooden frame covered with pool noodles. The tail is made in the same fashion paying special attention to include the prosthetic side like the movie. The harness was made out of tubing around the shoulders and more craft foam. The body is coated in rubber coating much like the teeth.
I would say that the costume was 95% done by me. The dragon was 100% my idea roping my sister into helping me make it :) I would say I did most of the formation of him but Pam helped me with a lot of it.....took us 2 weeks of 16 hour days almost solid to get him done in time for a parade before Halloween to show him off. My sig. other Keith put a lot of time into building the infrastructure for me and making it so when you sit on the saddle the wings move up and down! We also created a space in his chest to put a fog machine with a tube leading through his throat to come out his mouth....we also put a blue led light in his throat and a mini strobe light to look like he is spitting lightning! I have made up my own costume before and Pam and I have dabbled in sculpting but this by far was a crazy project!! It was awesome and stretched our imaginations. It ended up costing around 600.00 not including labor. Everything we did, we tried to do true to the movie....we spent a lot of time measuring toothless on the first movie and on a model to try and get him right. And I did the same with Hiccup's costume what I could find on the internet.
Well, that's my entry. Thanks for letting me share! I hope you like it!! :)

« The State of American Preschool, in Six Parts | Main | Obama Administration Declares Its Early Education Initiatives a Success »
New Mexico's Investment in Preschool is Paying Off, Legislative Study Shows
Children who participated in New Mexico's public preschool program did better than their peers who did not on 3rd grade standardized tests of math and reading, according to a legislative study released in August.
New Mexico's preschool program is relatively small. Aimed at children from low-income families, it only serves about one third of eligible kids. But the academic gains garnered by participants were measurable. Only 18 percent of children from low-income families who weren't enrolled in the state's free preschool program showed proficiency on the state's 3rd grade tests aligned to the Common Core State Standards. In contrast, 24 percent of children from low-income families who did attend the program showed proficiency in math and 22 percent in reading on the same tests.
It should be noted that the higher scores for those who did attend preschool still result in less than a quarter of New Mexico's 3rd graders achieving proficiently in math and reading.
Nonetheless, the gains made by offering preschool have reignited an ongoing effort by advocates there to funnel some of the money from the state's Land Grant Permanent Fund to preschool, a move many lawmakers are strongly opposed to. One recommendation, covered by The Santa Fe New Mexican, called for $101 million to expand public preschool to all low-income children.
"This report proves now more than ever that the only way to fully fund early childhood is from an additional 1 percent distribution from the Land Grant Permanent Fund," Democratic Sen. Michael Padilla of Albuquerque, who has pushed for such legislation in the past, told The New Mexican.
Read The Santa Fe New Mexican article for more detail on the report and the current preschool debate in New Mexico.

The objective of SANYO's energy solution business will be to provide Sanyo smart energy systems (SanyoSES) that reduce running costs by saving energy while greatly reducing CO2 emissions.
With an SES, electricity from solar panels or from the grid, drawn late at night when power rates are cheaper, is stored in rechargeable batteries. Power conditioners are then utilised to ensure the most efficient use of power for refrigerated showcases, air conditioning, and lighting, SANYO says.
Although full-scale business operations are scheduled for the spring of next year, SANYO is now promoting the following steps to ensure early profitability:
While the solar photovoltaic (PV) system and rechargeable battery businesses are expected to enjoy substantial market growth in the future, the business environment is becoming increasingly difficult due to a sudden drop in prices and the intensification of competition, SANYO points out.
SANYO also plans to expand the energy solutions market from large-scale facilities such as factories and high-rise buildings to small and medium-scale users such as retail stores, schools, and homes.
SANYO says it is aiming to reach a scale of operation of 100 billion yen for its energy solutions business by the fiscal year ending March 2016.

CapitaLand, through its wholly-owned subsidiary CapitaLand (Vietnam) Holdings, has entered into a joint venture with the Thien Duc Trading-Construction Company (Thien Duc) to develop a prime site in District 2 in Ho Chi Minh City.
As the lead development manager, CapitaLand plans to develop the site into an upscale residential development with approximately 1,000 homes, at a cost of an estimated $150 million.
CapitaLand is heartened by the continuous growth momentum in Vietnam, which is now the Group's third-largest market in Southeast Asia, after Singapore and Malaysia, according to Mr. Lim Ming Yan, President & Group CEO.
"We will continue to leverage our robust development capabilities, deep operating expertise, and wide business network to fuel further growth via suitable investments and management opportunities in Vietnam," he said.
The 2.6-hectare site is located in Thanh My Loi ward in District 2, on the fringe of the city center. It is only ten minutes from the future new CBD on the Thu Thiem peninsula and within easy reach of important transport networks such as the Long Thanh - Dau Giay Highway, the East - West Highway, and the Hanoi Highway.
CapitaLand holds 80 per cent of the joint venture and Thien Duc 20 per cent stake. The joint venture development is CapitaLand's seventh residential project in Vietnam and will increase its residential portfolio to over 7,500 units, in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
It was one of the top performing foreign developers in Vietnam in the first half of 2015, selling 389 residential units worth $48.5 million. As at the end of June its total assets in Vietnam stood at $441.3 million.
Thien Duc, a privately-owned Vietnamese real estate company, is one of CapitaLand's strategic partners in the country and a shareholder of The Vista and Vista Verde - two of CapitaLand's residential projects in Ho Chi Minh City.

Ok, I've been doing this a long time, and today, I finally did it.No room for a 8/32 lockbolt, so I drilled for a 6/32" was careful tapping, but the hole is right on the edge of the bolster, and snapped it off flush.As I said, no room for a 8/32, so drilling it out is not an option.Any advice???
That's one of the cheap taps I was talking about.A 6x32 thread is a wretched thing at best and a 6x40 or 48is better.I don't know if I even have any 6x32 taps or dies now. That 32 thread is too coarse for the .130diameter tap.Bob Roller
Good quality spiral point gun taps are best for the work we typically do. I've removed a good number of broken taps, from customers, by milling them out with a 1/8" carbide endmill. Hold the plate well and plunge through the center. It's amazing what good carbide tooling will do.
Hi Jim,Thanks for that input. Could you make a recommendation about manufacturer? I looked at MSC and there are so many it would be nice to get endorsements. I need to resupply with new taps soon and I would like to follow your advice. My need is for hand taps, both plug and bottoming.dave

HouseBook - 2006
A mind-bending supernatural thriller from the creators of This Present Darkness and Saint.
Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker--two of the most acclaimed writers of supernatural thrillers--have joined forces for the first time to craft a story unlike any you've ever read. Enter House --where you'll find yourself thrown into a killer's deadly game in which the only way to win is to lose . . . and the only way out is in.
The stakes of the game become clear when a tin can is tossed into the house with rules scrawled on it. Rules that only a madman--or worse--could have written. Rules that make no sense yet must be followed.
One game. Seven players. Three rules. Game ends at dawn.

This book took off much better than the last PERETTI book i read (Monster). This one I couldn't quiet tell where the author was heading (as in the main point) until about the last 4 chapters in the book. Other than that downside it at least kept me wanting to come back and finish it. There were a few loose ends that I wish the authors would have tied up, but overall a decent read.
It was good & drew me in pretty quickly. It got slightly confusing when it took a strange demonic turn to it. Even after reading it, I still can't understand that house.
I loved this book, it was the perfect blend of scary, truth, suspense and horror. This is not like other books I've read, but definitly worth the read. I think this book really makes you think, which is why it is so important.
Creepy, dark, and absolutely amazing!! Parts are a bit weird, but overall, fantastic book. Not appropriate for younger readers.
I enjoyed this book. For the most part, the pages kept turning. However, it had that Peretti trademark lull in the middle. The outcome was somewhat predictable, but most readers wouldn't have any other way.
Very disappointing. There is a very thin line between a great combination and a mixture of oil and water when it comes to using the supernatural and religious elements in a book and this one was definitely oil and water
Suspenseful and scary! Great read, and well written. I love his writing style and he sure didn't disappoint in this story.
In classic Peretti and Dekker style, this thriller scares your pants off from the get-go. They've both mastered the art of creating creeps that set your skin to crawling before they've even done anything abhorrent (and they always do something abhorrent eventually!). Fans of the Saw movies will love the aspect of social fear and how it spreads through groups of strangers and how they handle the pressure of...well, that would be a spoiler! Check it out for yourself to see what two masters of the thriller and horror genres have in store.
I love this book! i also recomend the movie. but it isnt really like the book i would read the story first
Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti come together to bring you House a supernatural thriller that should definatly be read with the lights on! I enjoyed this book but to me it got to much focused on the seriel killer evil side. This is not like the usual Dekker and Peretti but still a book worth reading.

Ending months of speculation — and stunt casting among Parks and Recreation fans — Patricia Clarkson has been cast as Ron Swanson's first ex-wife, Tammy 1, TVLine reports.
The oft-mentioned, but never-seen Tammy 1 was first viewed from behind in the Season 3 finale of the NBC comedy. Tammy 1 is not only a scary subject for Ron (Nick Offerman), but also for his very crazy other ex-wife, Tammy 2 (Megan Mullally).
Parks and Recreation scoop: Ron's facial hair, Tammy 1, Leslie's big decision and more!
"We talked about pretty much every possible iteration of who she is and what her backstory is and all we knew is that we didn't want to do the same thing we did with Tammy 2. Tammy 1 is her own specific brand of demon," executive producer Mike Schur told TVGuide.com earlier this month. "I think we came up with backstory for her that's both funny and illuminating and also answers all of the questions that you would have when seeing people's reactions to her presence in the finale."
Schur also told TVGuide.com that Tammy 1 would likely make her debut in the second episode of Season 4.
Parks and Recreation finale: Will Ben and Leslie heat things up? And where's Tom going?
Clarkson, an Oscar nominee, is best known for her work in The Green Mile and Shutter Island, as well as many independent films. Clarkson's previous forays into TV include a recurring role on Six Feet Under, which won her two Emmys, and a recent guest appearances on Saturday Night Live as Justin Timberlake's mother in the digital shorts "Motherlover" and "3-Way (The Golden Rule)." Clarkson can currently be seen in Friends with Benefits.
Season 4 of Parks and Recreation premieres on Thursday, Sept. 22 at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

The 3 Highest Paying Welding Careers
The 3 Highest Paying Welding Careers
Did you know that a welder can equal or even outearn what the average doctor or lawyer makes? But this depends on what type of welder one is. If you are interested in building a career in any of these fields, it's best that you read and fully understand what your future job entails.
Here are the top 3 highest paying welding careers in the world.
Industrial pipes are used in several industries including gas, chemical, water, and even power generation. These pipes must be prepared and installed properly to prevent future accidents while aiming to improve people's lives. That said, industrial pipe welders have a huge responsibility in ensuring that their work should be top quality. Their main concern is precision, speed, and safety.
If you want to be one of the highly paid pipe welders, enroll in a school or take an apprenticeship program specializing in this field. The "real" money, however, comes when you prefer to work for big companies abroad. In other words, you must be willing to be a travelling industrial pipe welder who can make at least $50,000.
Target oil-exporting countries such as the Middle East. Also, consider growing industries such as green or energy companies.
If you love the ocean, you can turn this passion into a $200,000 / year career by being an underwater welder. It's an exciting job for sure, to be able to take your work under the sea. You will be tasked to weld pipes in oil drilling stations, or to seal leakages in gas exploration projects.
But to be an underwater welder, understand that this does not come cheap. You must be willing to shell out at least $17,000 for tuition alone. But the good news is that if you gain enough expertise in five years or even less, not only will you break even, but you will also gain a lot of money. Plus, you will get to travel the world.
There's a huge demand for army welders both in the United States and abroad. They are tasked to maintain military-related equipment, transportation, and gadgets used in combat. Though these welders are usually stationed at camps, their job can be a risky one. So to compensate, they are paid a lot. Army welders can be paid an annual salary of at least $160,000.
While other people are attracted to the money that they'll make from these careers, some long for something exciting and interesting. If being an underwater welder is not exciting enough, you might want to try being a welder in outer space. You'll be called on to weld broken parts of satellites or space stations.
Or if you're interested in automobiles and fast cars, you can be a welder for motorsports. Being in this kind of job requires that you are a fast worker, and that you have great attention to details. If not, it is best that you consider other welding careers.

Chicken Tikka Masala for Lovers
Serves 2, with leftovers for 1 to eat at work while contemplating the previous night.
For the chicken*:
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs – breasts for John's mother
- 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt – any plain yogurt will do
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced – jar stuff works fine
- 1/2 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger
*Skip this part if your date tells you at the last minute that he/she has gone vegetarian. Be grateful that you didn't buy the expensive organic chicken that has been massaged and read to on a daily basis.
For the masala sauce:
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1/2 medium onion, diced fine (about ¾ cups)
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
- 1 small Serrano chili, minced – take the seeds out for John – too spicy!
- 1/2 Tbsp. tomato paste
- 1/2 Tbsp. garam masala
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 lb. peeled tomatoes with juice –14-oz. can crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves – garnish
First, rinse and drain jasmine or basmati rice. Or, forget that you need to make rice because you are too busy trying to find the one black bra that doesn't dig into your sides and leave marks. Give up, put on the pink push up bra that make you feel like your breasts are choking you.
If you should remember to make the rice shake a little coriander on the top along with a dash of olive oil and some sea salt. When it comes to a boil cover it with a lid and turn the heat down to low. Forget about the rice entirely until everything else is complete and the bottom has burned to the pot.
Yell, "Shit," as you are combining the cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, in a faded plastic Spiderman bowl that your son hasn't used in years. Forget to wash the broiler pan and fail to let the chicken sit in the spice mixture for at least an hour because your ex was late picking up the kids and you were scrambling to put on mascara and flopping back and forth between that mini skirt you never wear and your favorite jeans. Wash the broiler pan; preheat the broiler to 500? even though it will make the small kitchen so hot that you have to keep checking to see if your deodorant is still working.
Stick the spice-coated chicken back in the fridge. Whisk the garlic, ginger, yogurt, and oil together and set it next to your phone on the counter. Double-check the ringer volume just in case your date calls to cancel. Read through the text messages you've exchanged and smile.
In your mother's old Dutch oven heat the oil over medium heat and add the onion, cooking and stirring frequently for about ten minutes. Don't set a timer, you're no novice, you know what this is supposed to smell like. Add the garlic, ginger, chili, tomato paste, cayenne pepper, and garam masala. Cook, stirring frequently, until it smells a little like sex and sweat. Blush when you think about the last time you actually smelled sweat and sex. Check your armpits again. Add crushed tomato, sugar, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for about fifteen minutes.
Rub the sweat out of your eyes just before you remember the black eyeliner. Dash to the bathroom and wipe the whole mess off, then get back to the kitchen to pull the chicken out of the refrigerator.
As you use tongs to dip the chicken into the yogurt mixture, consider how much happier you would be in the jeans. Drop yogurt-drenched chicken on your shirt/skirt. Consider it a sign and as soon as you have the chicken in the oven, 6 inches away from the heating element, run into your room and throw on a clean shirt- not your favorite, but dependable enough — and your jeans.
Check your phone and see a text message from your ex reminding you that you were supposed to pack bathing suits for the kids and now he has to buy new ones. Roll your eyes at the next text asking if you are deliberately sabotaging him. Type out and delete a snarky response. Remember that you are recently resolved to taking the high road. Simply type, "I'm sorry." Drain the half glass of wine that you weren't going to drink before the date, but you're a bit rattled and don't want to be brittle and irritated like your ex called you in the divorce papers. Or maybe it was frigid. It doesn't matter.
Stop screwing around, add the heavy cream to the sauce, stir, return to a simmer and then turn off the heat. Check the chicken- it should read 160? in the fattest parts and look a little charred. The recipe says ten to eighteen minutes, but you know you need exactly fifteen after making this at least once a month for the last ten years. Wonder if your ex noticed the telltale ingredients on the counter when he came in to be smug and wait for the kids to grab their backpacks.
When the doorbell rings set the broiler pan on the stovetop and swear as you burn your wrist on it. Smile as you open the door. Smile wider when your date says, "It smells amazing in here."
Add the chicken to the sauce; pull the rice off the burner. Chop the cilantro with your dullest knife, the one your ex bought you for Mothers Day, smelling the tips of your fingers discreetly after you sprinkle it over the plates.
Brace yourself on the counter as your date kisses the back of your neck. Strip on the way to the couch.
After, eat the tikka masala cold, wearing nothing but his t-shirt.

At its core, Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) is a buddy/coming of age story. Boy meets friend, then falls in love with a girl; he then loses the girl and has to make a journey with his newfound buddy to get her back. Of course, only in Mozart's world does the boy (unsuccessfully) fight a dragon before passing out and being saved by a trio of women, and the buddy is...well, he says he's a bird-catcher, but the line between hunter and prey is rather blurred. The journey consists of three trials to join a Masonic-like temple, and only then will the boy get the girl. Was it mentioned that this is all supposed to take place in an Egyptian jungle with characters reminiscent of the European aristocracy of the 18th century?
On the face of it, it's quite absurd. But strangely enough, it works—due in no small part to Mozart's masterful setting of Emanuel Schikaneder's libretto. While still considered an opera in the classical tradition, the work looks forward to the blended action and music of the Romantic. In the final production of the 2011-'12 season, directed by Matthew Lata and conducted by Graeme Jenkins, The Dallas Opera takes both the comedy and absurdity to the absolute limit and knocks it out of the park.
From the opening, the visual aspects of the production are deeply engaging and well-presented. The scenic design by Jörg Zimmermann ranges from simple drops to elaborate jungle scene pieces and flows exceptionally well between the two─there's even a nod to the famous Karl Friedrich Schinkel-designed production of 1815 with the half dome of lights backing up the Queen of the Night. What stands out exceptionally well are the moving set pieces of the temple ruins. Each piece is intricately carved and filled with detail – ranging from statue guards to a beer-spewing lion. The set is lit with a design by Duane Schuler, basic but extremely effective.
The costume design by Renata Kalanke is simplistic, but not in a negative sense; outside of a few costumes, most of the characters wear simple solid-colored clothing in the European style; pale blue for our hero and heroine, solid black for both the priests of the temple as well as the villain. For our comic sidekick (the bird-catcher), the costume is much more elaborate with a regal plumage in greens and yellows (hence the blurring of man and bird). Only a few minor details detract from the whole: Monostatos and his gang are painted green (which actually tones down a less than flattering portrayal in the original libretto) but, on opening night, there were patches that had either rubbed off or were missed. Combined with the lack of any type of paint on their hands, the contrast caught the light and took away from the effect.
As for the singers: the music is where the production shines the brightest. The role of the hero, Tamino is sung by Shawn Mathey, who carries the lion's share of the work throughout the opera. Mathey's tone is rich and full-bodied and he navigates the minefield that is Mozart's score without breaking a sweat. Opposite Mathey is local favorite Ava Pine as Pamina, the girl who holds Tamino's heart. She provides the perfect foil for the dramatic tone of Mathey by bringing a sweet tone to the table, dripping with a sincere and loving sound that is not only a joy to listen to, but adds to the theatrical drama of the evening.
In the role of Papageno, Tamino's (semi-)faithful sidekick, bass-baritone Patrick Carfizzi nearly steals the evening with not only his voice, but his onstage shtick that adds to the comic nature of the role and gets the biggest laughs in the piece. While Papageno may not complete the trials with the same degree of success that Tamino does, he gets his reward in the end as well when he meets Papagena, sung by soprano Angela Mannino. The pair brings the house down in the second act with their final duet, singing about the family that they want to have...and the list gets longer and longer. Before they know it, the stage is filled with little Papagenos and Papagenas.
Rounding out the headlining roles are that of the villain, the Queen of the Night (L'ubica Vargicova), and her opposite, the priest Sarastro (Raymond Aceto). Vargicova has some wonderful moments as the evil Queen, though there are a few notes at the top of the range that seemed forced, and as a consequence are a bit shrill. An exceedingly difficult role to sing (as it's steeped in what would come to be known as bel canto style), at times Vargicova lacks the relaxed tone that makes the music effortless and successful. Aceto is wonderful to watch as the noble priest, but there are a few moments in which his deeper notes are covered by the orchestra; it is disappointing because Aceto obviously has the register for the role, but the payoff notes are difficult to hear.
The orchestra is aptly led by Graeme Jenkins, supporting the action onstage without (for the most part) overpowering or detracting from the stage material. Tempos are kept lively and the music never drags as a result (which can happen more often than one thinks, especially in opera).
The opera is a silly diversion from everyday life with a look into an alternate world of monsters, dancing animals, and trials and tribulations that one would never normally expect. But it's also a fun ride through a hilarious story with some dynamite performances that can be measured against any other out there.
Definitely a "do not miss" production.
◊ Don't forget that you can see a free simulcast of this production at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 28. Parking is free, too. At last count, more than 30,500 tickets have been requested, and it is poised to make the record books for most attended opera showing in the United States. (The record was 32,000 for a simulcast of the San Francisco Opera's Aida in 2010.) You can request these tickets at www.dallasopera.org/cowboys. Also, TheaterJones will be tailgating in the parking lot before the simulcast, come by and say hello!

An Interview with Eileen Dietz, Star of Lake Alice
by Mike Haberfelner
January 2017
starring Eileen Dietz on (re)Search my Trash
Quick Links
Your new movie Lake Alice - in a few words, what is it about?
Lake Alice is set during Christmas in an
isolated cabin in the subzero temperatures of northern Wisconsin
where the days are short and the nights last forever. Jane Patterson
runs the local favorite tea room and is loved by all. Then the
Thomas family comes to town with their daughters fiance Ryan Emerson. Jane
thought the Thomas' daughter Sarah was meant for her son. And hell hath no
fury...etc. Meeting the family for the first time, Ryan Emerson (Brad
Schmidt) must prove his intentions with the Thomas�
daughter, Sarah (Caroline Tudor), and win the approval of her
father, Greg (Peter O�Brien), while he masks his
jealousy for Sarah�s ex-fling, Tyler (Brando Eaton). As
the Thomas family settles in, things start to happen around the
cabin; strange footprints by the windows, noises from outside, and a
bitter animosity from the locals, including the law enforcement. As a
blizzard descends on Lake Alice,
so does the evil from behind the camera, as the Thomas family is
hunted down one by one. The family struggles to stay alive as their
power in numbers slowly dwindles.
did you draw upon to bring your character to life, and how much Eileen
Dietz can we find in Jane Patterson?
I think all acting
comes from a(n unconscious perhaps) memory of similar events. I have been
happily planning things for myself and others and then often someone or
something happens to alter my plans. Or someone who I thought loved me
very much, a niece suddenly ups and leaves and you can draw upon those
moments of utter disbelief, then horrible hurt and then rage. Favorite
example is if you have to kill someone, well we can't remember what it's like to kill someone because we never have, but we have all killed a fly or
a mosquito with that kind of anger. So that rage is simply a matter of
degree. Not that Jayne kills anyone, it's just drawing upon that feeling of
rage coming from utter disappointment and hurt. It's actor talk so I hope
you understand. At least that is how my awesome teacher Don Hotton taught
How did you get
involved with the project in the first place?
It was a
simple audition. They asked me to self tape a scene, it's the rage nowadays
with casting directors, actors film their own tapes. And that was it. A
week or two later they called me and I had the part. They said once
they saw my audition, there was no doubt they wanted only me in the cast.
Nice, huh?
What can
you tell us about your director Ben Milliken, and what was your
collaboration like?
Ben was absolutely one of the very best
directors I have ever worked with. Every day on set was a new adventure
and I felt so safe and cared for. Ben had such a way of talking to you
after a scene, that you never felt you were wrong, just that he was
curious to try it a different way and see how that worked. He really
understands actors and what makes us tick. We saw Jane basically the same
way, who she was and what she wanted and needed. Even the hard scenes, in
the snow in 10 degree below weather were fun. An actor should feel safe to
delve into any emotion, whether it be smiles or tears or anger, and Ben
more than provided that safety net and you never felt alone.
Do talk about the shoot as such, and
the on-set atmosphere?
This set was comprised of cast and
crew who really wanted to be there. It was surely not for the money nor
the temps, it was freezing in Tomahawk, Wisconsin where we shot. It was 10
to 20 degrees below zero. There was not a "diva" anywhere. It
was such fun. I felt for the crew who was outside for hours while we had
ten maybe 20 mins with foot warmers and hand warmers. And not a complaint
among them. You know that comes from the top, producers and Scott Miller
was the best.
With Lake Alice being a
horror movie: This seems to be a genre you tend do come back to ever since
The Exorcist - so is
that at all a genre dear to you, and why (not)? And since women in horror
are almost automatically credited as "scream queens", is that a
brand you can at all relate to?
I love shooting horror and
thrillers. There is a difference, a huge difference between the two which
I will discuss later. Before The Exorcist
I did a lot of stuff but
afterwards, well, I guess I am typecast to play witches and demons and
zombies and last week I finally played a vampire, a situation that is just
fine with me. Many of us actors who work consistently in thrillers
hate the term "scream queen". Every lithe actress in town who
worked on UHF Scream Queens call themselves scream queens or
she who shot
one horror film is a scream queen. I prefer to be called Queen Of Screams
which also happens to be the name of a film I shot a couple of years ago.
Even if you might by now
have grown tired of talking about The
Exorcist, could you say a few words about your work on the movie,
otherwise I fear my readers will tar and feather me ;)
you for your concern, I love talking about The Exorcist. It is such a huge
part of my life and if fans want to know things I am more than happy to
tell them. I loved going to work even with the discomfort of the vomiting
scene or the extreme cold, cold seems to be a recurring thread here, haha,
I got to make movie magic. In this film we did special effects that had
never been tried before thanks to the ultra talented Godfather of Makeup
Dick Smith and Marcel Vercoutere (totally unheralded for the levitation,
the spider walk effects and others). Hey I was a young girl working on a
huge film with the likes of Max Von Sydow. And I love kids, and adults
of all ages telling me how I ruined their childhoods.
got you into acting in the first place, and did you receive any formal
education on the subject?
I wanted to be an actress since I was 7 years old and never wanted to be
anything else except perhaps a jockey or just a horse lover, I did get
to combine both when I shot a commercial in Central Park, NYC and played
a jockey drinking Vernor's Ginger Ale. All young actors in NY took
acting, singing and dancing lessons. You just did. Well I can't dane or
sing, although I wish I could (hmm next life), so I took some acting
classes from some rather famous teachers who I thought were good until I
came out to LA and met the afore mentioned Don Hotton who changed my
acting life.
Despite being mostly known for
horror, you got your start on the small screen on daytime soaps, a format
you returned to every now and again - so do talk about your work on the
soaps for a bit, and how does shooting these compare to making a movie?
a soap opera is the most challenging, exciting, scary and ultimately
satisfying job in show business. In films you shoot a small scene and
maybe do the same thing 5 or 6 times. In soaps it's like a play and you do
the whole thing from beginning to end. And often remembering 30 pages of
dialogue over night. I remember the first soap I ever did I had one line
and I was terrified. I loved General Hospital with a passion. My character
was locked up inside a mental institution and refused to grow up cause she
felt she killed her friend in an accident. Every day was again something
fun or challenging to act. Added to that, General Hospital was the most
popular daytime series ever, 12 million people turning in, just like a
nighttime show. People stopped me on the streets and yelled Sarah, Sarah -
my character's name. Yes I loved being a "star" and I
would answer questions and signed autographs till the last kid wanted one.
I also got to go to hospitals and teen group homes as me and my character
and have a chance to give something back. I also got to have lunch with
Tom Landry and the Dallas Cowboys.
also have to say a few words about your movie debut Teenage Gang Debs,
and how did you get involved with it?
I think it was just a
simple audition. It was very much a drive-in movie, in black and white
with great pulsing music. We didn't have guns we had knives and knew how
to use them. I had my first crying scene ever and I cringe to watch it but
it was my first film and I was now a real actress.
Any other past
films or TV appearances of yours you'd like to talk about?
my goodness, without sounding mushy I loved every one of them, David
Holtzman's Diary which has become a cult favorite in filmmaking, Planet
of the Apes was my first show in Hollywood when I came to California and I
got to work with the great Roddy McDowall, and Korg 70,000 BC where I
played a neanderthal kid, one of the Manson gang in Helter Skelter,
Constantine with Keanu Reeves or Night Tales with Jamie Fox. I loved
Of Screams, A**holes, 1000 Acres of Hell, Grimm and of course
Lake Alice - all indies. I love shooting indies.
also have quite a theatrical career under your belt, right? So how does
performing on stage compare to acting in front of a camera, and which do
you prefer, actually?
I started my career on stage and a
play called Ontological Proof Of My Existence that directly led to my being
cast in The Exorcist, an agent was in the audience. I became an actress in
New York City and did 3 seasons of summer stock with the last one leading
to me getting an Equity card and becoming a Union Actor. I sometimes long
for the excitement of the stage but I am blessed to be a celebrity guest
at so many horror conventions and film festivals I can't devote weekends
to doing shows. But maybe someday I will tread the boards again.
You of course also have to talk
about your book Exorcising My Demons: An Actress' Journey to The
Exorcist and Beyond!
Well all of the above is mentioned
in my book but in much more detail I talked it to an awesome writer named
Dan Loubier and the book is filled with stories about how I became an
actor, and he is so brilliant you will laugh and cry and then laugh again.
After you read the autobiographical part, the rest of the book is
about The Exorcist and how I got the part, the audition, riding through
Central Park wrapped in Saran Wrap so I could lose a pound or two the
casting director wanted, meeting the Billy Friedkin and Dick Smith and
Linda Blair for the first time and visiting Dick's makeup studio where he
made up Marlon Brando and Dustin Hoffman among many, many others and then
on the set which was closed to the public. How did they shoot the famous
vomit scene or the masturbation also known as the abuse of the cross
sequence, the shooting of the gun, the slapping of the priest and so much
more its in the book. Wanna know how I prepared my audition? Or abused the
cross? It's all in there too. And especially how to follow your dreams
whether it be actress, actor, director, or run a costume shop or be a
makeup artist or a Mom, it's your dream, right? It has been called inspiring
too. The best place to buy it is through me, order through
and chat me up on Facebook. But its hard to be my "friend" cause
I have over 5,000 of them, but they can surely follow me or PM me. Or wait
in the queue.
Any future projects, in
whatever medium, you'd like to share?
I shot a great PSA
music video about blood donation last week and played a vampire, haha, and
am shooting a new film, Sarah, where I play a schizophrenic and in the
future something called Sorority Vampires and a film called Withchula and
it's so great casue there is always something new around the corner, we
just don't know what it will be. And meanwhile I will be doing shows
all over the country and going to Wales in July.
How would you
describe yourself as an actress, and some of your techniques to bring your
characters to life?
Answered above but just believe in your
character and absolutely trust your writer. As Shakespeare said, the plays,
the thing, and even the bible says: In the beginning was the word. As an
actor you must believe in the words you are saying and bring your personal
experiences to the projects, not emotional memories, just allow yourself
to remember, you don't have to do anything, just trust yourself too. And
the belief that no person or character believes they are stupid or evil or
even perfect so you can't play evil or stupid or perfect. Just use the
words and yes you will fly.
Actresses (and indeed actors) who
inspire you?
Sally Field has always most inspired me from the days of
Gidget which was the name surfers gave her as girl midget, through The
Flying Nun to Sybil and the rest of her projects. I adored her than and
I adore her now. She also told me she watched me in General
Hospital when she was pregnant and loved, loved, loved Sarah. I adore
Annette Benning and the risks she takes, and especially Julianna Moore, I
mean talking about risks, her Still Alice where she plays a woman with
Alzheimer's and The Kids Are All Right where she played a lesbian, all
risks, all beautifully done.

Oh Gosh, I can never remember.
Casablanca of course, oh All About Eve, The Devil's Advocate, for horror
What Ever Happened To Baby Jane, a brilliant horror film, ...
and of course, films you really deplore?
All the films they
call horror today which consist of nothing more than blood and guts, no
characters you either love or love to hate, no plots just gore. And then
along comes something brilliant like The Autopsy Of Jane Doe that takes us
back to real horror. And finally fans are beginnings to "get it"
and bad horror films flop at the box office and they don't flock to see
sequels and remakes anymore. Now we need more fans to boycott these studio
films and flock to indies. But give me a horror/thriller film with a real
plot and people like Lake Alice and I believe in horror again.
movie's website, Facebook, whatever else?
My website is down but it will be up again in a couple of months at

Anything else
you're dying to mention and I have merely forgotten to ask?
I also sell Pazuzzu statues that are very cool and Pazuzzu heads and
Pazuzzu pillows and the original
Exorcist script and of course 8x10's
online. And all fans can buy them there and only from me.
And that I feel totally blessed, ironic with a career of horror and evil
huh, to be doing what I do and make a living doing it. How cool is that?
And finally to all of you out there, please follow your dreams whatever
they are. Don't talk about them to the wrong people because there is so
much negativity out there. Follow your dreams with passion and love and
they will happen, I promise you. And thank you for allowing me the
for the interview!

We define eco-friendly promotional items as any product that is made with a material that is considered "good" of acceptible for the environment. Eco Friendly cusotm products also includes items like promotional products made with recycled material like recycled paper, or promotional items that are biodegradable.
When it comes to Recycled promotional products, there are different levels of recycled material. For example our Customized Bic Magnets are made of 12% Pre-Consumer material, while our Customized Bic Sticky Note pads are made of 30% Post-Consumer material. Pre-Consumer ecofriendly products ususally means that the material was recycled at the factory level. Post-Consumer promotioinal products means that the recycled material and items reached the consumer, and then were collect, reorganized and then made into the EcoFriendly promotional item that you received.
Biodegradable promotional items are a bit different, they usually have a shorter shelf like than normal promotional products. A good example is our Biodegrable Plastic Bags, you want to be careful in ordering too many at one time becauce they only have a 3 year shelf life. In the clase of plastics, like our promotional biodegradable water bottles, they are have to be treaded correctly in a landfill before the plastic starts to break down and disolve, which is usually a 5 year cycle. It's important to review the promotional products specifics because it is different for each Biodegradable advertising item.
