Well it was a damn fine pour in to the imperial pint glass right to the top a deep clear copper,with a quick to vanish one finger head.Somewhat downhill from there I have to say aromas of hard water and fruit but light and that clear/green bottle skunk but I wont hold it against the actual beer itself.Flavors are ok it has the English fruitiness a touch of brown sugar and iron but not much hop presence just a light herbal note in the finish after a few sips.Quite light for a 6.5% alc beer goes down easily just nothing to make u want more,a decent beer none the less to be had.

Appearance This is a crystal clear dark orange in color with a nice, easy head.
Smell The yeast packs a wallop to be sure. Its not bad, just extra funky. The malts are toasty but faint and the hops a bit too grassy for my tastes.
Taste These are some sharp flavors sure to offend some. The yeast especially just takes over the flavor profile. The finish is sweetish malt; very sugary in an artificial way with loads of butter. No, wait, I think its Parkay.
Mouthfeel This is light-bodied with some tight carbonation and a healthy dose of bitterness.
Drinkability This was very different to say the least. I didnt have much trouble laying down the bottle but I can see how others would disapprove.

Presentation: 16.9fl.oz. clear custom Morland bottle. No freshness date.
Appearance: Pours a vibrant rich amber liquid with a clumpy off-white foam head. It quickly recedes to a patchy bubble lace. Make sure to pour gently as to not disturb the sediment.
Smell: Waxy aromas that mix with light sweet grains and faint apple-peel aromas.
Taste: Malt flavour is light, with toasted malt flavours. Medicinal and touch of all-spice flavour get lifted and removed by a gentle carbonation. Hops are tea-like with a assertive dose of raw leaf astringency and a mellow background citrus rind snap that melds nicely with light fruity apple flavours. Buttery diacetyl can be detected along with dry biscuit and grain flavours that pull through to wreak more havoc on the palate. Can you say yeast? Rawness? There's yeast flavours all over this bottle-conditioned brew. Finishes dry and musty.
Notes: A very traditional bottle-conditioned English Ale. As real as it gets in the bottle, and you either like these real ales, need some palate maturation, or you'll hate them forever. Me? I like them. There's nothing like beer that's alive and maturing in the bottle!

16.9 clear bottle with no freshness date.
Sunset orange hue with a good frothing and good retention. Buttery, grainy, slight orange and mint and salty aroma.
Smooth carbonation with a medium body. A buttery musty diacetyl sticks to the palate, maltiness brings caramel and toasted biscuits. Hops are a little bitter with a quick minty note. Graininess and a flash of solvent alcohol show some roughness within this ale. Finishes a little funky with alcohol on the breath.
Not bad, sure its English, bottle conditioned and all but it just does not seem to hit its stride. A bit of a chore to put down.

16.9 ounce clear bottle, with no freshness dating. the pour immediatly tells me I've got a problem on my hands, A huge head develops, tons of bubbles continue to rise from the bottom. Uh oh, beer gone bad, nose is soapy, mouthfeel is prickly, flavors are off and winey, nah, I've experienced enuf, was it the clear bottle? , was it on the shelf for too long? Anyway bad beer is not for me, down the drain it goes

Appearance: copper, no head, no carbonation
Smell: a bit skunky, salt, unsweetened toffee, malt
Taste: better than the smell, light hops, tea leaves, a bit of tobacco
Mouthfeel: clean, smooth--a biiter bite for a finish
Drinkability: I had to double check this one to see if it was my preference or just the style...After doing so, it is not the style--it is the beer...I think there are way better English Pale Ales...This one just missed my palate on every level...I get bitter, just not a lot of taste thereafter...Those that like dry hoppy, bitter beers should give this a shot, but I for one would rather have a Fuller's London Pride

A 500ml clear glass bottle with a BB of Oct 2012. Picked up cheap from an off-licence a while back. A strong ale conditioned with live yeast (highly unusual for Greene King).
Poured into a tulip pint glass. A deep coppery-orange with faint sediment and medium carbonation. Forms a large head of frothy off-white foam that lasts for a few minutes before disappearing. Aroma of rich, fruity malt with notes of caramel, brown sugar, dried fruit, stewed hops, wet cardboard and subtle earthy yeast. There is a background hint reminiscent of maple syrup, along with a warming whiff of alcohol.
Tastes of fruity malt with a dry, bitter finish. Notes of caramel, mild roasted grain, brown sugar, dried fruit, a slight nuttiness, cardboard, dry yeast and stewed hops. A hint of booze lingers in the background, along with a stale note. A harsh, dry bitterness upon swallowing - this is overbearing and dominates the finish. Mouthfeel is smooth, dry and tingly, though rather slick and a bit thin for the style. Highly astringent - dries the palate. Aftertaste of fruity malt and harsh stewed hops.
An OK ale, but doesn't fulfill it's potential. The clear glass bottle is an obvious no-no. It has an interesting complexity that raises it above most Greene King brews, but the harsh bitterness from the hops spoils the balance. The fruitiness and caramel notes are nice, but I would expect a strong ale to have a more malt-dominant character. Aims high and falls short. It's quite drinkable and I would have it again, but not the best example of the style. Worth trying (once).

Murky copper color and giant creamy carbonation of over an inch in height. Laces in thick glue-like sheets. Some floral hops in the aroma, LOTS of skunkiness with maybe some weasel musk added for good measure. Medium buttery diacetyl flavors abound here, possibly the beer's best characteristic, some sense of mown grass and nutmeg as well. Hops are harsh and extremely un subtle at the close, drying the beer harshly. I don't know -- this bottle was picked out of some just put in the fridge at Thomas Liquors, but alas there's a big sense of oxidation, yeast gone out of control, and light-striking skunkiness here. I'll re-rate some day...

Yipes, sourish off-milk flavour, and quite yeasty, monstrously weird, quite hard to drink, i'll give it a miss if ever offered it again, definitely didn't agree with me.

Really a pretty big dissapointment. It's a really nice, orange color, with bubbles set up in just the right way.
The smell however, is something special. I'm not even quite sure how to describe it. Other reviews here have called it "yeasty rotting apple," and that probably sums it up as well as anything I can think of. It really must be smelled to be believed.
It claims to be a traditional English Pale Ale, but it's not like any I've ever had. An all pervasive corn husk flavor, common in some macro beers but foreign to most English Ales shows itself here.
Harsh and sharp, all the way down. Lousiest mouthfeel in recent memory.
Can't recommend this one. Best avoided.

Imperial Pint bottle poured into a goblet
Appearance: Pours a very attractive reddish-mahogany with two fingers of off-white head, speckled with reddish-mahogany highlights, that dissolved into a nice lacing of foam that covered the entire top of the beer.
Aroma: Wow, very interesting. Lots of fresh bread, but also lots of dried stone fruit, like raisins and prunes, or figs, followed by some toffee and very Belgian-like yeast.
Taste: More malty breadiness upfront followed by toffee, caramel and dried stone fruit. Very Belgian in flavor. More like a Belgian brune. Very, very good.
Mouthfeel: Medium to slightly chewy. Nice coating of the mouth. Not much in the way of carbonation.
Overall: I really enjoyed this beer and will certainly look for more. I would love to try it on tap!

50 cl clear bottle with sediment settled at bottom.
Admit I was scared of this beer based on many of the reviews posted, but me thinks I got a good bottle!
Appearance: Careful, decanting pour to prevent disturbing sediment as recommended on tag attached to bottle. Slight chill-haze copper-amber body. Weak, fizzy, off-white head that quickly fades to a small sustained edge ring. No lacing to speak of.
Smell: Slightly toasty, sweet caramel malt pokes through an earthy/yeasty/mineral aroma.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied slick, sweet caramel malt start, tingly cask-like carbonation at the top releases a biscuity and mineral/iron-tinged flavor. Finish has a drying floral hop, unsweetened tea character. Let this warm close to room temp and you'll be glad you waited.
Drinkability: Don't have a lot of bottle-conditioned experience, but I like this and will pursue other examples.

Orangish with an average white head, with sediment in the bottle. Smells very yeasty and slightly fruity/nutty. The smell reminds me exactly of Samuel Smith's pale ale, which is a good thing. Lots of malt and yeast flavors, as well as a small amount of spicey hops. There is something about the smell and taste that just reminds me of a brewery. That sounds pretty generic, but it's hard for me to put my finger on as well. I'm sure it's a combination of the right yeasts at the right temperture. Mouthfeel is right on for the style and drinkability is pretty good too.

Clear bottle dispenses a clear reddish orange alixer with a half finger white head that melts to top capping lacing.
Aroma is faint sweet malt and dry apple peel.
Taste is really british..hahaha.
Uh, there is a sweet malt with a drying biscuit like yeast being used and some nice bittering hops that are not too citrusy. This is an interesting brew. I can surprisingly taste and feel the alcohol on the swallow making this more of a sipping beer than merely an English Ale.
As it warms it also grows on you.
Honest bottle conditioned steady carbonation in this beer that leaves a sharp taste in your mouth...a clean drying...and a wonderful warming as the alcohol settles down in your belly.
I read some of the reviews on this beer and didn't think I would like it.
I think it's a wonderful sipping brew.

Hazed-through amber with a sticky white capping.
Nose features oxidation, light strike, spoiling butter, rust and dustballs. It's such a mess that it's almost endearing.
Begins with a touch of brown sugar. Then it turns lightly fruity. The yeast strain here is very odd. It imparts some Belgianesque tropical fruits and peppery spice, while at the same time imparting expired milk. Oh, and earthy too. Dirt balls and cobwebs. Diacetyl is all over this one. Ends metallic and bitter, with traces of sulphur.
Medium bodied. Milky, yet gritty. Strange.
I can't quite tell if I was intrigued by the many nuances of this beer, or absolutely repulsed by them. It's very unique, but be warned.

Ok, pretend this is a blind taste. Looks like an IPA, grapefruity with bubbles, lots of foam in pour (the ackward way I pour on purpose). Funky smell, a wild ale...then taste, a hoppy bitter ale, malting, and then sourish. You like sour people, right, you Cantillon it. A different British.

poured an amerish colour and the head dissapated after about 3 or 4 minutes.
S- no strong smells just a bit of malt.
T- starts off with malts and then you get a bit of sweet spicy flavour that I don't find particularly appealing. A touch of bitterness but not a lot.
M- fairly smooth but a little oily and the carbonation is way too agressive for this style of beer.
D- not one for me too fizzy and for its strentgh I think quite a bland beer. Green King not my favourite brewer by a long way.

Its slightly hazy (bottle-conditioned) copper body displays bronze and ruby highlights beneath a short, creamy head of off-white foam that drops readily but holds a thin cap throughout the pint. The nose displays and iron/mineral character, some delicate apple-ish fruit, and some leafy hops over a caramelish malt. The body is full, creamy and smooth in the mouth with a very fine, natural carbonation that just lightly caresses the tongue (similar to a cask-conditioned pint!). The flavor delivers a biscuit-like maltiness, some lightly-dry and apple/pear-ish fruitiness, a distinct note of diacetyl, and a subtle touch of blood-like iron all backed by a solid bitterness and some leafy, tea-like hop flavor. It finishes dry with a lingering character from almost all of its attributes except for its slightly elevated alcohol which seems to remain hidden at all times. Quite nice!

What is it that makes the BMV such a horrible place to do business? As soon as I walk into the place my mood is deflated and I turn defensive! Is it like this for you? I'm now going on my 7th or 8th time trying to get two simple things done: get my Indiana License and Plates! ( I currently have Illinois plates) Should this really be a 7-8 visit process? Grrr!
Another point of frustration: the horrible pictures you must now take! You cannot wear your hair anywhere near your face, you must take your glasses off (which causes me to go cross eyed!), and you cannot even smile! Needless to say I look like a convict in my picture! (Check it out above)
Do you have any horrible experiences at the BMV? Share them on Facebook!

· Bag of Choice For Weddings?
It seems as though I'm in a constant search for the perfect bag when it comes to wedding photography. I started out with a few bags and then ended up with a Kata 3n1 which worked so-so but was not large enough for all my gear. So I recently bought an F-Stop Satori EXP bag (I do a lot of hiking etc so the bag works great for that). It holds all my gear just fine (with extra room for water, food, rain jacket, etc) but man the thing is heavy when fully loaded. It's not too bad now but as I age I can see it getting to be less and less ideal to carry while at a wedding (and it looks like a back-pack which is perhaps not the most professional looking bag). Now I've been looking at roller bags. They look like they can hold a good amount of gear for a wedding and not a pain on the back to lug around. What do you guys use for lugging around your gear?
Are there any negatives to a rolling bag?

Are you looking for a bag to work out of or to haul equipment? Because working out of a rolling bag is a bit cumbersome during a wedding. But if you're just using it to transport what you need just to have on site and are working out of a shoulder bag then that's a bit easier.
When it comes to choosing a bag I suggest laying out everything you'll want to bring and measure it out. And really think about what you'll need. So many photographers, especially inexperienced ones bring so much unnecessary stuff with them it's ridiculous.

That's a good point. When I'm on my way to the shoot everything goes in my F-Stop bag. I don't think I bring unnecessary stuff but maybe I do! Regardless, once I arrive the bag lightens as my camera etc gets pulled. However it's a bit of a pain to access my gear in the bag and it's just a bit awkward to lug around. I'm kind of leaning towards a rolling Pelican case that will hold all my gear and take the strain off my back while lugging. I don't mind the bulk/weight of somethign I can roll and lift with proper handles when needed. But what I like about the F-Stop bag is the ability to pack a snack, water, rain jacket if needed etc. I'm torn lol!

I'm such an "UNphotographer"
I haven't used a camera bag in about 15 years. Nor a lens cap for that matter.
My main bag is an aluminium toolbox and I just pack everything in there. No dividers, no foam, no problems. My 2nd bag that keeps what I don't need to take with me on a particular job or when I have to take plenty is an ordinary travel suitcase. I just upgraded to a much bigger one due to buying a new set of lenses etc. This one I have some small hand towels in I wrap around some stuff to stop it bashing together too much but there is room for chargers stationary, drinks, laptop and assorted other crap for when I do jobs away from home.
I like the fact that a suitcase dose not immediately scream " Valuables" to any lowlife or opportunist around. I figure scumbags are likely to be less interested in something more likely to contain clothes for a fat old bugger than thousands of dollars worth of easily fenceable gear. I am slightly security paranoid with gear having heard so many stories about people having theirs knocked off and a bigger bag is less easy to grab and more easy to spot as well.
I also have 2 other huge plastic road type cases. One for my portable lighting kit lighting kit and cords, power boards etc and another one that has some small desktop computers, screens and I can get a couple of printers in there as well. I keep these packed so If I get a last minute event or commercial job, I can just grab them with the tool box and go knowing I have everything.
Far as I'm concerned camera bags are a ripoff and over priced anyway. Fishing bags can be similar with pockets etc and aren't quite as much as a take and many look much more daggy and less appealing to low lifes than a bag that's worth hundreds itself let alone what it contains.
Suitcases and toolboxes work plenty well for me.
And I can sit or stand on them and they also make good "tables" for the laptop!

I carry a shoot sac with me at weddings. This has any extra lenses that I might need. The wife has a small backpack she uses. I really like the shoot sac because it will hug your body and kind of wraps around it. We mostly shoot primes are are constantly switching lenses and it makes it very easy to access them.

The mistake is trying to find a single bag to do everything. I use a roller case to transport gear to the various locatioins on the day of the wedding and transfer what I need for each segment into a camera bag. For the getting ready and wedding ceremony I use a LowePro Pro Mag II bag that holds the 70-200mm upgright though not mounted to the camera. For the getting ready I have in the bag two bodies, a 14-24mm, 24-70mm zooms, and for the bride portrait pictures a 105mm f2 DC lens.
For the ceremony I use a LowePro Sideline Shooter waist bag that is large enough to hold either the 70-200mm or three smaller lenses. I will have the 24-70mm on one body and the 70-200mm on the other camera. The 14-24mm is in the bag and used for the "location" shots which comprise less than 5% of the ceremony pictuers
I use the same bag at the reception and the nice thing about the Sideline Shooter bag is that it is very compact and sticks out about 5" so I can sqeeze between tables or people on the dance floor without a bag getting in the way.
If there is a secure location in the DJ area I wil stash the roller case there with extra lenses, third body as a backup, and extra flash and batteries. If not, the case stays in the trunk of my car where it is out of sight and somewhat protected by the car alarm.
With an outdoor venue where the roller case is awkward to use I will stil have it in the trunk of the car but take a larger LowePro AW400 bag that holds a little more gear than the Pro Mag II bag. I learned after a while that more gear can work against the photographer as there is more to haul around, more to have to watch, and one quickly reaches a point of diminishing returns. For example a 77mm closeup lens screwed onto the 24-70mm lens does an excellent job in place of a dedicated macro lens. The closeup lens takes up no more space than a filter and so it stays in the bag.
I do have a Pelican 1620 case that holds the lighting equipment I use for the post wedding formals. It too stays in the trunk except for the start of the wedding ceremony where my assistant has it at the back of the area and brings it into place after the ceremony. Setup time with the Quantum Qflash, special tripod, Custom Brackets flash bracket, and transceivers is less than 15 minutes so it does not hold up the schedule.
It helped a great deal when I could use my cameras at ISO 3200 as I could dispense with my primes and use only three f2.8 zoom lenses the entire day.

I leave items in the trunk and I work out of belt pouches or a smaller Tamrac bag. I change the contents as the venue changes throughout the day. Large rolling bags, where you bring in all of your gear at once, seems so pretentious and are invitations to thieves.

There is no perfect bag and there is no reason to use only one bag for a wedding. I have a Tamrac rolling Strongbox that I keep in the trunk of my car. At the start of the day when I am with the bride and her party I have one body and three lenses and a flash and battery pack in a LowePro Pro Mag II bag.
During the ceremony I use a LowePro 400AW shoulder bag to which I have attached a waist strap and it holds two cameras and 4 lenses (14-24, 24-70, 70-200, and 16mm fisheye) and a flash and flash bracket, etc.
During the reception I use a LowePro Sideline Shooter bag that is large enough to hold either a 70-200mm f2.8 lens or up to three smaller lenses and has an outer pocket that will hold a 8-pack set of batteries. The Sideline bag sticks out very little so it does not keep me from moving about freely during the reception. Usually all that is in the bag is a 16mm fisheye and a 18-35mm lens while I have the 24-70mm on the camera with the flash bracket and flash and the second camera with the 70-200mm with a flash on the hot shoe if it is needed or left off if not.
By the end of the day I am a lot less fatigued when I have carried as little as possible for as short a period as possible.
My backup third camera, third flash, extra batteries, cables, etc. is in the Tamrac roller in the trunk. If the parking lot is a great distance from the reception location I will roll it into the reception and place it where the DJ can keep an eye on it.

At the time it was built in 1883, the house at 29 Plant Avenue in Webster Groves, Mo., faced Lockwood Avenue, because Plant Avenue didn't exist.

The Williston Police Department works
tirelessly to keep civilians safe and battle crime in town. But, there are a
few simple steps you can take to protect yourself from being a victim of theft.
A poorly locked
storage unit is an ease for robbers. And stealing from storage units is one crime that is becoming more common.
"We've had issues with the burglaries
of storage units and storage facilities for the past couple years. But, it
seems recently we've seen a dramatic increase in storage unit burglaries
and reported theft from storage units," says Williston detective David
While thefts from storage units is
becoming more and more prevalent, there are easy ways to help ensure your
valuables are safe.
"The police department would like to come out and ask the people, who are using storage
units, to secure a lot of their valuables by purchasing a really heavy duty lock. This helps because the actual mechanism is guarded in a shroud. And it's hard for
bolt cutters to be utilized to cut that lock," says Peterson.
There also has been a spike of crime
in the Williston Sloulin Airport
parking lot. Once again, just a few steps and some common sense can help deter
"It is a crime of opportunity.
If the opportunity presents itself, they will commit the crime. We encourage
people to remove valuables from the vehicle, if they're utilizing that parking
facility at Sloulin field. Also, don't store those keys in gas caps, tool
boxes, anything of that nature. Just remove the keys," he says.
Peterson also recommends calling the police
department if you see any suspicious or unusual activity in the parking lot.

Comedy legend Harold Ramis, best known for his classic role in the "Ghostbusters" films, has died. He was 69.
Ramis suffered from autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, a disease that causes swelling in the blood vessels, and died from complications of the illness surrounded by his family.
"His creativity, compassion, intelligence, humor and spirit will be missed by all who knew and loved him," his agent said in a written statement.
Ramis' Hollywood breakthrough came in 1978 when he co-wrote the blockbuster comedy "National Lampoon's Animal House." He went on to co-write "Stripes" (1981), "Ghostbusters" (1984) and "Ghostbusters II" (1989), films in which he also co-starred.
Ramis co-wrote and made his directorial debut with "Caddyshack" (1980), followed by "National Lampoon's Vacation" (1983).
He most recently directed episodes of "The Office."
Among his professional honors and awards, Ramis was the recipient of the American Comedy Award, the British Comedy Award, and the BAFTA (British Academy) award for screenwriting.
Ramis is survived by his wife, Erica Mann Ramis, and children Violet Stiel, Julian and Daniel Ramis. He also has two grandchildren.

The intense energy between Principal dancers Cervilio Amador and Janessa Touchet is so palpable you can feel it — even when their hands aren't touching.
Their expressive duet in Heather Britt's world premier "Opus 5.5" provided an inviting opening to Cincinnati Ballet's annual Kaplan New Works season opener last Thursday evening.
The production offers a rare chance to see dance up close, as it takes place in the company's home performance studio at the Cincinnati Ballet Center.
There's nothing like watching live performance, but there's something even more exciting and visceral about seeing the dancers glowing and their muscles flexing.
Full of emotion, Britt's sweeping contemporary new work has the dancers really moving all over: across the stage in sculptural lifts, through the air in expansive leaps and extravagant extensions. But it's really the rare moments of stillness and quiet that grab you and draw you in closer.
New Works' stock in trade has always been pushing stylistic boundaries.
"It's our R&D," says Cincinnati Ballet CEO/Artistic Director Victoria Morgan. "We need to scare ourselves, to try things we've never done before."
But this year is noteworthy for another reason: For the first time, all of the choreographers featured are female.
Dance-wise, the women also stand out in the spotlight this year more than usual. Though, as always, there are plenty of equally fine turns by the men as well.
Paige Cunningham Caldarella's "Without Consideration," the program's most offbeat piece, presents a topsy-turvy look at social media and its pleasures and pitfalls.
Its five short sections comprise a modern dance piece cut with classical ballet. It's by turns satirical, ominous and oddly compelling.
Clad in a lime green tee-shirt and a short, ruffled floral skirt, Corps de Ballet dancer Courtney Hellebuyck shines in her solo.
She attacks each movement with ferocious intensity. Her dramatic facial expressions and stage presence are spellbinding. She and the other four dancers appear equally comfortable switching between styles — instant, by instant — in this mash-up of ballet and modern. The women even manage to perform modern floor drops in pointe shoes.
A physical wall (think social media) covered in paper provides the backdrop and set piece. The dancers write on it, hurl themselves against it, and press into it. They connect and disconnect, or nearly connect with each other. But at times, they just miss, undulating away from each other. Individual gestures are repeated, such as one's own hand suddenly turning the head and face away in a slo-mo sideways "slap." It seems to suggest the struggle to turn one's attention away from staying online all day.
Amy Seiwert, San Francisco-based Resident Choreographer for Smuin Ballet (where she was also a longtime dancer), has created a thoroughly delightful getaway world in her world premier modern ballet ,"Think of You Often."
The weather is balmy. The light-colored clothing, designed by the Cincinnati Ballet Wardrobe Department, is carefree and casual. The women collectively become an ocean tide, even in their pointe shoes. Its feel-good soundtrack, music by the Swedish group Koop, delivers effusive swing and a touch of Latin flair.
Principal dancer Sarah Hairston warmly embraces her role, full of flirtation and feline sassiness. First two, then four men lift and sway her — and no doubt cater to her every need.
But don't let the piece's escapist playfulness belie its underlying choreographic sophistication. The partnering throughout is highly complex, original, and technically demanding.
In a most striking duet, Zach Grubbs and Jacqueline Damico make the most intricate sequences look as easy and natural as an ocean breeze.
Jessica Lang's contemporary neoclassical work "La Belle Danse" (2007) presents a slightly quirky court dance of sorts. Set to a score of the likes of Handel and Mozart, it's the sole work here that the Ballet has presented previously, in 2009.
It's the most classical piece on the program — relatively speaking — yet unexpectedly it marks the only one where the women wear soft shoes.
Displaying a very different, more sacred type of passion in this role's solo, Hairston demonstrates her versatility as dancer, and a performer.
The large cast brims over with expressive dancing, filled with plenty of leaps, turns, waltzing… and conducting gestures.
Amador and Touchet rapid-fire their way through pirouettes and petit allegro galore. Although their style here sharply contrasts their opening duet, this superb pairing brings this production — one of the best New Works in recent years — full circle.
Despite the 100-plus heat on Friday evening, on my way to a
World Choir Games concert at Over-the-Rhine's School for Creative and
Performing Arts (SCPA) I took an extra half-hour to wander through the
renovated Washington Park, which officially opened earlier in the day.
What an incredible scene! Hundreds of operagoers were streaming through
the park on their way to see Porgy and Bess at Music Hall, while
kids from the neighborhood — young and old, I must add — were playing in
the people-friendly fountain. Everyone was strolling around admiring
the views and the colorful "OTR Flags," another festive element of the
park's opening.
On from there to SCPA's Corbett Theater for another sold-out "Celebration Concert." This one used the theme "Voices of Gold," because each of the three choirs have won multiple honors in past World Choir Games and other choral competitions. SCPA seemed like the perfect setting, since each group was made up of youthful performers: Zvonky Praha is a school group from a school in Prague in the Czech Republic and some of its singers were obviously elementary school age kids; SKH Lam Woo Memorial Secondary School were high schoolers; and the Mansfield University Concert Choir was a mixed choir of young adults from the university in Pennsylvania. It's fascinating to observe the differing personalities of the choirs, here a product of age but also of directors with very different styles of leading the singing.
Zvonky Praha begain with its 19-member chamber component, separately named "Abbellimento," all high school age girls clad in black pants and shirts, with scarlet sashes, some worn as belts, others as scarves and one as a head band. Their female voices were reedy but strong for their program, virtually all sung in Czech, so I can't tell you much of what the music was about. But I can say it was delivered with passion and clarity, accompanied in most cases by a blonde-haired pianist who played with expressive emotion. Several numbers were enhanced by one of the singers picking up a clarinet and offering soulful punctuation. When the balance of the choir came on to join Abbellimento, the numbers were roughly doubled, but again almost all girls wearing red choir capes. (There were two young boys, but I suspect their voices had not yet changed, and the feminine quality of the singing did not change.) Director Jamila Noveknová kept the ensemble in tight control, but for several final numbers had some soloists step forward, including one of the younger performers with a gorgeous soprano voice. Their final number, a choral replication of bells, was especially memorable.
Lam Woo's director, Siu Mei Lee, is a petite, beautiful woman with shining, black hair. She conducted with the expressive grace of a ballerina, using large gestures and physical movement to inspire her very focused choristers. This was a big group, roughly 80 singers, wearing school uniforms: The boys had white shirts with a school emblem and ties while girls wore knee-length pale blue dresses with white "sailor" collars and white knee socks. This group were serious in their demeanor, totally focused on their animated director. Their wide ranging program encompassed works by Mendelssohn as well as Asian composers; their concluding number, "Zum Gali," was a rhythmic traditional number from Israel that swung between soft and loud passages and up and down energy, but with a beautiful fading elevation of tone as its conclusion. The intense singers maintained their demeanor as the audience gave them a standing ovation, but when a little boy entered from the wings to hand a bouquet to Siu Mei Lee, the entire chorus burst into applause. Their affection for her was evident.
Peggy Dettwiler is clearly a veteran conductor (she teaches the craft to others at Mansfield University) and her work with her more mature singers was the most satisfying component of the evening. A balanced choir of about 60, the men wore traditional tuxedoes and black ties, while the women were attired in floor-length gowns all cut the same way. (The women also wore identical sparkling necklaces and earrings.) According to the introductions made for this group, their repertoire is generally drawn from religious works, but that did not mean it was a lot of the same thing: They offered a beautiful piece with German lyrics and music by Mendelssohn, followed by a solemn, stately song by Stephen Paulus, "The Old Church." Next was a traditional Gospel number, "Hold On!," delivered with relaxed energy. For a traditional Appalachian hymn, "Every Night When the Sun Goes Down," the group formed an unorthodox circle around Dettwiler, who conducted the entire program without music from a small, square platform about six-inches in height. That meant that some had their backs to the audience, but at one key moment, they turned toward us, which elevated not only their volume but the intensity of their heartfelt performance. Their finale, "Pal-so seong," was a humorous number in which various solo singers burst into giggles, hoots and chortles, culminating in gales of laughter — a truly unusual piece. The group's encore, an infectious "Alleluia," had them file up the aisles at Corbett Theater, surrounding the audience with joyous song. It was a perfect conclusion to the varied program.
I spent two-and-a-half hours watching the Acclaim Awards last night — 150 minutes with no intermission. Thanks to affable hosts Charlie Clarke and Mark Hardy (the well-dressed "scoundrels" of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels last September at The Carnegie), there was a lot of humor, but I put an emphasis on "a lot" as in "maybe too much."
As I've written previously, the Acclaims offer some solid recognition of many of the things that constitute our local theater scene. But the awards program itself lacks discipline: If this had been a stage production at one of our local theaters, I wouldn't be the only critic saying, "Nice work, but it needs a lot of trimming." And some thoughtfulness.
The Cincinnati Art Museum has announced the winner of its second biennial 4th Floor Award for regional contemporary artists -- Darren Goodman of Waynesville, Ohio. He will receive $1,000 and a solo exhibition in the art museum's Vance-Waddell Gallery this year from Sept. 17 through Nov. 27th.
According to a museum press release issued today, he earned his BFA from Bowling Green State University and apprenticed under glass master Leon Applebaum in Corning, N.Y.. Godman was commissioned by Ferrari to create trophies for the International Challenge Races (2009. From 2005 to 2007 he taught private classes in glass, and coordinated a glassblowing class for Wyoming High School students. In his work, Goodman explores color in glass and is inspired by natural forms. In his most recent installation, 2010's Tears of Joy, Goodman built on the "mistake" of molten glass falling to the ground. Using the same action, he created massive blue drops that were suspended together inches above the floor. In both his installations and individual pieces, Goodman endeavors to utilize the properties that are found solely in glass.
Three finalists each receive $500 -- Terence Hammonds, Casey Millard and Alice Pixley Young, all of Cincinnati,
It's easy to spend time writing about exciting new developments in our local theater scene. But who got things started?
It could be argued that F. Paul Rutledge was the guy who laid the foundation. He passed away a week ago at the age of 91. Rutledge was a theater pioneer in Cincinnati, and many people who shaped what we have today were inspired by him.
After a long hot summer (well, it's still feeling like a long hot summer), we have a full array of shows onstage in Cincinnati for you to choose among. I've seen two of them so far: Good People at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati and The Three Musketeers at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park.
ETC's production of Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire's 2011 piece (this is the regional premiere of Good People, which was nominated for a Tony a year ago) about a woman who falls off the bottom of the employment ladder has enough humor to be entertaining (especially with Annie Fitzpatrick in the central role of Margie and Kate Wilford and Deb Girdler as her gossipy friends and bingo-night comrades) and enough contemporary relevance to be thought-provoking. ETC's D. Lynn Meyers is at her best staging naturalistic shows with social meaning, and that's exactly what this one offers. It has a great cast and flexible, attractive scenic design by the ever-creative Brian c. Mehring. I gave it a Critic's Pick. Through Sept. 23. Review here. Box office: 513-421-3555.
I wanted to love The Three Musketeers at the Playhouse (through Sept. 29), but its balance of humor and heart is out of whack to my tastes. There's lots of adventure, hilarity and laughter — especially some no-holds-barred swordplay — but the show tries to hard to entertain that it misses out on the true emotion that should lie beneath. I suspect many people will love this thrill-a-minute tale of political intrigue and valor, loyalty and royalty in 17th-century France, and perhaps it will evolve to deeper feelings as it runs. I love new Artistic Director Blake Robison's desire to put appealing, family-friendly work onstage, and he's using this production to show what he means. I hope his approach gets a tad more texture and depth as his tenure continues. Review here. Box office: 513-421-3888.
I haven't yet seen To Kill a Mockingbird at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, and their publicity says it's already sold out its first-two weekends. So you might want to put that one on your calendar for sometime before it wraps up (Sept. 30). In the meantime, you might want to head to Washington Park on Sunday evening at 7 p.m. for a special free presentation of CSC's touring production of The Tempest. It's a perfect piece for outdoor performance, set on an island with a sorcerer and his lovely daughter and some shipwrecked nobles who are responsible for his exile. Audience participation will be a key component of this event, with the audience asked to create large-scale effects by blowing bubbles, making waves with silk and generating sound effects. Sounds like great fun. Music (by The Young Heirlooms) begins at 6 p.m. This is a good one to bring kids to see.
Also off and running this weekend is Cincinnati Landmark's production of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. It's a classic drama of sexual tension and family strife, a bit heavier fare than is usually found at the Covedale Center. It's a sign of the company's ambition to be a full-fledged theater offering a wide range of material. (Through Sept. 30.) Box office: 513-241-6550.
Know Theatre has announced the 2012 Cincinnati Fringe Festival, kicking off May 29 and continuing through June 9. Festivities begin with the official CityBeat Fringe Kick-Off Party on May 29 at 6 p.m. (A suggested donation of $5 gets you in.) During the Festivals' two-week run, 29 productions will receive multiple performances. Some shows are locally originated (14) and others are by touring artists (15) who travel to festivals around the United States. If everything selected actually happens (that's seldom the case), there will be 10 plays, nine solo shows, four dance works and six multimedia/variety pieces.
Several award-winning groups popular with past Fringe audiences are set to return. One of the most popular performers from 2011, Kevin J. Thornton — his I Love You (We're Fucked) had a sold-out run and returned for another stint last October — is back with Strange Dreamz. Thornton has appeared in the Capital Fringe, Indy Fringe, NYC Frigid Festival, Tucson Fringe Festival, Phoenix Fringe Festival, Orlando Fringe Festival, Kansas City Fringe Festival, and the Minnesota Fringe Festival.
Four Humors Theater from the Twin Cities is back for the fifth consecutive year, this time presenting Bombus and Berrylinne, or the Bumblebee and the Hummingbird. The group has previously produced Mortem Capiendum (Producer's Pick of the Fringe, 2008), April Fools (2009), and Harold (Critic's Pick of the Fringe, 2010) and the hilarious James Bond-inspired puppet show You Only Live Forever Once (2011).
The longevity honors will continue to be held by Cincinnati Fringe veteran group Performance Gallery, returning for their ninth year with Rodney Rumple's Random Reality. Past Cincinnati Fringe appearances include Images of a Beating Heart (2004), The Killer Whispers and Prays (2005), Godsplay (2006), Girlfight (2007), Fricative (2008), KAZ/m (2009), The Council (2010) and The Body Speaks (2011). Brad Cupples, the playwright for Performance Gallery's 2010 entry, returns with Third Quarter Moon: A Complex Derivative Love Story.
We'll see shows from established local companies, including Quake: A Love Story from New Edgecliff Theatre (they presented Darker in 2011) and Don't Cross The Streams: The Cease and Desist Musical, a stage musical from Covington's Carnegie Visual & Performing Arts Center.
Two new local companies will present for the first time. Homegrown Theatre, led by local actress Leah Strasser will present an absurdist piece, The Doppelganger Cometh and Overtaketh, while Essex Theatre Arts Studio, founded by actors Bob Allen and Elizabeth Harris, will stage Love Knots, a series of shorts plays about love and romance by local playwright Phil Paradis.
There will be plenty of new acts, including Grim & Fisher (the award-winning A deathly comedy in full-face mask) from Portland, Ore., and Rebecca King (Storms Beneath Her Skin), a transgender artist from Chicago. New York artist Tanya O'Debra's Radio Star has won awards in San Francisco, Montreal and New York City.
There will be dance performances by Houston-based dance company Psophonia (Delicious) and two local groups, MamLuft&Co.'s (Latitude) and Pones, Inc. (Project Activate). The latter is a collaborative and participatory performance that asks "How do you activate Cincinnati?" It's the product of five local service organizations with 12 professional artists from a variety of disciplines.
Each evening after performances, artists, audience members, staff, and volunteers gather at Know Theatre's Underground bar for the Fringe Bar Series featuring the "Channel Fringe Hard Hitting Action News Update." Events there include Fringe previews, Fringe Olympics, Fringe-e-Oke, Fringe Prom, and the 22.5 hour play project.
This year marks the second year of FringeNext, offering three shows created and performed by high school students. Two are originating from the School for Creative and Performing Arts; the third is from Lakota West High School.
Individual tickets to shows are still $12. "Full Frontal" passes are $200, providing access to every event in the festival. "Flexible Voyeur" six-show passes are on sale for $60, the price equivalent of five tickets. "One Night Stand" passes are $35; that's good for one weeknight (as many as three shows) and a drink at Know Theatre's Bar. Pre-sale single tickets will go on sale mid-May.
For more information about the performances or to purchase passes, check out www.cincyfringe.com or call (513) 300-KNOW (5669).
For several years Joshua Jeremian seemed to be onstage everywhere in Cincinnati. He was a regular in opera productions at UC's College-Conservatory of Music, where he was pursuing a master's degree and then an artist's diploma (additional graduate-level training) as an opera singer. But he was glad to find performing opportunities with many Cincinnati perfroming arts institutions. In 2005 he played a pair of princes in Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati's holiday musical, Sleeping Beauty. (In fact, the big-voiced baritone was nominated for a 2006 Cincinnati Entertainment Award for his performance at ETC.)
The Manhattan Dolls will make a one-night tour stop at Know Theatre on Sunday evening at 7:30, performing their Swing-style revue of tunes from the 1930s and 1940s, "Sentimental Journey," in the Over-the-Rhine theatre's Underground cabaret space. The trio of singers from New York City travel the world performing for military events, air shows, award ceremonies, parades, Jazz clubs and concert series.
In this week's Big Picture column, there is an item that Matt Distel — long active on the local contemporary art scene and current executive director of Northside's Visionaries + Voices center for artists with disabilities — had been named adjunct curator of contemporary art at Cincinnati Art Museum. Today comes the announcement he will leave V+V to be exhibitions director at The Carnegie in Covington, effective in June. He replaces Bill Seitz, who announced his retirement last month. His adjunct position at the art museum will continue.
"Matt is the perfect person to build upon the successes we've had in the galleries and we are honored to have him join our team," said Katie Brass, Carnegie executive director, in a press release. "His personality, his connection to local artists, and background all make him the ideal candidate to run the Carnegie Galleries and to grow programming."
In that same release, Distel said, "To be part of the legacy the Carnegie has for supporting local and regional artists, it's very exciting. The Carnegie is one of the premier arts organizations in the region and Bill [Seitz] has established a great framework for me to continue to build an exhibition program that plays a compelling role in the arts community."

DUNCAN Okla_ Four families returned home Monday to what's left of their apartments after a fire tore through the apartment complex in Duncan early Saturday morning.
The blaze broke out just after 3:00AM at the Greens Apartments on South 27th Street. When Duncan firefighters arrived, flames had already engulfed the four-unit building. Firefighters say the fire started in one of the unit's fireplaces. Despite the firefighters' efforts, four families were left homeless.
The Red Cross said all the fire left behind was total devastation. Almost nothing remains of the two upstairs apartments. The two below were flooded with water from firefighters putting out the blaze. So Monday, residents rummaged through what used to be their home. It's something the Red Cross said is tough for anyone to go through.
"I cannot begin to imagine how stressful this can be for them," said.
Monday residents began to pick up the pieces, pulling books, furniture, and beloved belongings from what used to be their homes. Early Saturday morning, they watched their entire lives go up in flames.
Rachel O'Brian with the American Red Cross said volunteers were at the scene not long after the fire broke out, rendering aide in the form of food, clothing, and shelter to the people who woke up to a real life nightmare.
"They are very emotional. They are very detached," O'Brian said.
It's at people's all-time lows that the American Red Cross steps in and provides a reassuring gesture of support.
"Our services are based on the severity of their loss," O'Brian said.
Saturday at the Greens Apartments, the loss was great. Duncan firefighters estimate the damage at more than $300,000. For all the residents, the things lost will never be able to be fully replaced.
"They're devastated," O'Brian said. "They are devastated by their loss, and it's hard for them to start to think how to move forward. So, that's why we come in and provide that immediate emergency assistance to them."
The Greens Apartments told us Monday that they are providing apartments for those affected by the fire to move into. People looking to help the families affected by this fire can contact the Stephens County Office of Emergency Management.

Interview with new athletic director
Athletic director Sandy Luu came to Catlin Gabel this year from Liberty High School in Hillsboro, where she was AD of their large 5A program. An Oregon native, Sandy previously served as athletic director at Morrison Academy International School in Taichung, Taiwan. Originally a 6th grade language arts and math teacher, she has also taught in Vietnam and China. We caught up with Sandy to find our how things are going for her at Catlin Gabel.
How's Catlin Gabel treating you?
I have really enjoyed my first few months here. The people are amazing—just as advertised. The faculty and staff really care about the students, and about their colleagues. Everyone is so complimentary of each other's strengths. They feed off each other in a very positive way. People here told me before I was hired that they love coming to work each and every day. I fully agree.
Tell us about your background and how you became an athletic director.
Sports have shaped my life. Growing up I played as much as I could, even persuading the middle school athletic director to let me participate on the 7th grade team as a 5th grader. In college I played varsity fast pitch softball, basketball, and volleyball, but I love all sports. I have coached basketball, softball, and volleyball. I studied education in college and taught for many years, but started moving toward athletic administration when I was in Taiwan. Coaching coaches and organizing sports really appeals to me. I took classes at Ohio University during summer vacations and earned a master's in athletics administration.
What is your general philosophy about the role of athletics in schools?
I believe in character-based athletics. Catlin Gabel has a great tradition of winning the right way, and I want to continue this. The character development is paramount; the wins are icing on the cake. Sports are an extension of the classroom and teach lessons about how to be a good teammate and the value of hard work. Athletics builds confidence and self esteem. The skills you learn through sports will help you now and serve you well later in life. Employers look for people who know how to lead as well as people who can be good teammates. They want people who have handled loss and experienced success.
What advice would you offer athletes and their parents who think CG's high school athletic program is too small for colleges to take notice of a star athlete?
College coaches are looking for one thing: talented athletes. They are not as interested in the size of the school or how well the school team did in recent seasons. They are really looking for potential. Being a talented student-athlete at Catlin Gabel can have a lot of advantages. You can assume a leadership role and have a great chance to earn a starting position. One of the greatest benefits here is personal attention from coaches and teachers.
Is it a disadvantage for outstanding athletes to compete at a small school if they hope for an athletic scholarship?
The advantage you gain at Catlin Gabel is the level of academics. The education you receive here is unmatched. The benefit you will have is in the transcript you provide, along with your athletic résumé. I don't think people understand how few scholarships are available for Division I and II sports. A fully financed Division I soccer program can offer 9.9 full rides, but they split these up among all of their players (as many as 25 or 30), which leaves some players with very small scholarships. Often, Division III schools are the best places to receive scholarships. These schools don't offer athletic scholarships, but they routinely give merit awards for academic and other accomplishments. The merit scholarships that private colleges award can be a significant percentage of tuition.
What are some of the differences between being AD at a large school like Liberty HS in Hillsboro and a small school like CG?
Going from nearly 1,400 students to 300 is a big transition. CG's smaller program is one of the main reasons I applied for this job. I love to work with kids and build relationships with them. In a large school, the athletic director is mainly a scheduler, and most of my time was spent making sure everyone was where they needed to be. At Catlin Gabel, I can get to know the students and make sure all of the coaches are contributing to students' lives in positive ways. I can have more of an impact.
What have you found most challenging in your new job?
In my past school, I only had high school sports. Here at CG, there are more sports teams at different levels, so have many more balls in the air. Everyone in the PE department and the coaches have been incredibly helpful and supportive. I couldn't ask for a better group to work with.
How are your sons Trevor (a junior) and Max (a freshman) adjusting?
Catlin Gabel is a great fit for Trevor and Max. They love it here; it reminds them of the school they attended for seven years in Taiwan. They will probably hate me talking about them, but CG has been a huge blessing for my boys. The individualized instruction is unmatched. I just attended my first parent-teacher conferences and was blown away. After just two-and-a-half months their teachers have my boys figured out. I also attended a couple of senior athletes' conferences, and the general theme from parents was thankfulness. They appreciate the time teachers put into the kids. They know that CG has shaped the people their children have become. I couldn't ask for more for my own boys.
What have you liked most about Catlin Gabel so far?
The school transforms lives. I have been most impressed by how the faculty treats each student as an individual and how well they know each child's strengths and weaknesses. Teachers and staff work hard at building relationships with their students daily. I have never seen anything like this at any of the other schools I have worked at. Teachers are interested in many aspects of their student's lives. It's impressive to see so many faculty and staff members out watching extracurricular activities. I have also been impressed with the students. They are refreshingly polite, friendly, and selfless. They are always ready to lend a hand and pitch in, whether for service day, or just to help put away sports gear.

Not eye catching for the price
The craftsmanship of the carvings on platinum can only be appreciated when looking at it up close (i.e., in the box). Only close up can you see the exquisite details of each bead. I liked it in the box, but it didn't do the price justice around my neck. Not even my husband noticed it. Sent back.
I don't want to take it off
My husband gave this to me for our 15th anniversary. He was worried that it would be too short, but the length is perfect for the neckline that I wear. Now he says it is too sparkly to wear every day, but I love the simpleness of the design, no pendants or things to dangle when I bend or reach. One thing I would change is the oval ring where the clasp connects. It might be easier to put on if the ring were round, but that won't matter because I dont plan on taking it off very often!
wife was pleased. a surprising amount of sparkle to it, more than is captured in a photo. well-designed with a very fine textured appearance. i chose this carefully and have no regrets. if your wife doesnt wear gold this may be for you. however its not very long, so be aware of that.
She loves the faceted cluster necklace! It really does sparkle beautifully. Some reviewers have said that the clasp is hard to work with, and while I agree with that feedback, it doesn't take away from this necklace. I would buy it again, having now seen it in person.
Nice buy!
This necklace is beautiful as a stand-alone item or as a pendant chain. Everyone thinks the facets are diamonds at first glance. My one concern is the fasteners. It has a nice lobster prong clasp; however, the ring at the other end is tiny and does not feel very securing. It is sometimes difficult to catch.
Beautiful necklace, sparkles brilliantly. Wanted to get the matching bracelet but the reviews indicated it was much dainter than the necklace. Too bad.
This necklace is beautiful. It sparkles as the light catches the various cuts. I would've liked to see a lobster prong clasp on a piece at this price bracket. I like everything but the clasp. The item arrived the day after I ordered it with free next day shipping. I will shop at blue Nile again.
Birthday win!
she loves it! the pictures don't do it justice. it truly sparkles even in dimly lit rooms.
She loves the necklace
This necklace is an exceptional piece and my wife loved it!
She loved it.
Expensive but you know she is worth it. It looks to be a one-of-a kind. Stunningly beautiful with an understated elegance. The necklace can be worn with a business dress without being ostentatious.
Great gift.
The necklace is great. Beautiful and understated. It's a bit longer than a "choker" and a bit shorter than a "normal" 18" chain. My wife thought the 17" was perfect. Platinum is also heavy and feels very substantial...
Sparkles Like Diamonds
Terrific value; beautiful design. Sparkles like diamonds. Consider length before buying; not an issue here though.
Christmas 2009
I bought the necklace as a Christmas present for my wife. She likes it very much. The facets catch the light and makes the necklace sparkle. It is a beautiful piece. The lobster prong clasp is difficult to attach. Even more difficult than the diamond pendant that I purchased a couple of years ago from Blue Nile. I enjoy doing business with Blue Nile. Their products are exceptionally high quality and their website is supurb.
Gorgeous necklace!! Tricky clasp.
I purchased this necklace because I absolutely love the matching bracelet I purchased almost a year ago. It is gorgeous, subtle, very classy and can be worn with any outfit. It has a good deal of heft as well and the beaded facets catch the light very well resulting in a beautiful sparkle which invites many, many compliments. My only issue is with the clasp. The round spring ring clasp of the bracelet took some getting used to but I find the lobster prong on the necklace just as tricky, especially if you have long nails. The receiving end of the lobster prong is a small loop which can sometimes be challenging to latch. It is still a gorgeous piece and I intend on keeping it, but don't be surprised if putting it on might take a minute or two. It's well worth it!
Wished it was available in a longer length.
Overall this necklace is as described and has a nice sparkle to it. What may not be clear from the photos is that the oval beads have a subtle spiral pattern around the outside... My wife prefers necklaces with a longer length, 2-3 inches more, which is the only reason it was returned.
I love the necklace
The necklace is perfect for my office environment. It is elegant.
My life loved the necklace but wanted a ring more, so she returned it and ordered a ring. Blue Nile customer service was the best I have ever experienced.
Very elegant,can be worn anytime,not overdone.The gram weight is heavy,and the faceting on the beads really brings attention to the piece..I love it!
I absolutely love my necklace
This necklace is just absolutely gorgeous! It most definitely exceeded my expectations of what I expected. I couldn't believe how much weight there was to it as I placed it in my hand. Of course I promptly put it on and was delighted at how pretty and dainty it looked. This is one piece that will go well with casual as well as formal clothing. Thank you Blue Nile ... Oh yes, I ordered the matching bracelet too. Love you Blue Nile!!!!
I love my necklace. I've received lots and lots of compliments due to the cut and weight of the necklace.
She loves the necklace.
Used for everyday wear. Glitters without being loud. Unique attractive design. Will be noticed by some.
My wife loved the Platinum Necklace.
Absolutely beautiful! Excellent quality and service.
I continue to be please with all my purchases from Blue Nile, and my wife is always excited when she receives a gift in Blue Nile packaging. This particular necklace was exactly what I was looking for; substantial, but understated.
she loves this necklace
i got this platinum faceted bead necklace for my wife on mothers day and she loves it.it shines like it has small diamonds on it due to how it is cut.she has gotten a lot of compliments on it and is still getting compliments on it.it wears well with anything

CHICAGO — For many older Americans who lost jobs during the recession, the quest for health care has been one obstacle after another.
They're unwanted by employers, rejected by insurers, struggling to cover rising medical costs and praying to reach Medicare age before a health crisis.
These luckless people, most in their 50s and 60s, have emerged this month as early winners under the nation's new health insurance system. Along with their peers who are self-employed or whose jobs do not offer insurance, they have been signing up for coverage in large numbers.
"I just cried I was so relieved," said Maureen Grey, a 58-year-old Chicagoan who finally saw a doctor this month after a fall in September left her in constant pain. Laid off twice from full-time jobs in the past five years, she saw her income drop from $60,000 to $17,800 a year. Now doing temp work, she was uninsured for 18 months before she chose a marketplace plan for $68 a month.
Americans ages 55 to 64 make up 31 percent of new enrollees in the new health insurance marketplaces, the largest segment by age group, according to the federal government's latest figures. They represent a glimmer of success for President Barack Obama's beleaguered law.
The Great Recession hit them hard and for some its impact has lingered.
Aging boomers are more likely to be in debt as they enter retirement than were previous generations, with many having purchased more expensive homes with smaller down payments, said economist Olivia Mitchell of University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. One in five has unpaid medical bills and 17 percent are underwater with their home values. Fourteen percent are uninsured.
As of December, 46 percent of older jobseekers were among the long-term unemployed compared with less than 25 percent before the recession.

|A small case of Spring Fever
|Monday, April 16, 2012 9:29 AM
They say you live and you learn. Boy, is that ever true.
My husband got Spring Fever a few weeks ago. The temperatures were record-breaking and he was itching to get started. He came home with a cherry tomato, a Better Boy tomato and two strawberry plants in hanging baskets. They looked great. The strawberry plants already had several berries a piece and each had their share of blooms.
He carefully nurtured them until he could get the cherry tomato in a pot and later put the larger one in the ground. One of the strawberry plants even gave him a juicy, ripe berry. He said it was delicious and much better than store-bought.
Another round of warm weather and the big tomato went in the ground.
Then came the chilly nights. Frost warnings! "Make sure you take those plants inside," the weatherman said.
The second night it got even colder. The bucket went back on. The next morning, my husband took it off before he went to work. The results were a little less than satisfying. I guess the temperatures took a little more daylight to rise and the big guy was a goner.
Not to be discouraged, my husband quickly replaced him with "Sampson." A few days later, we took a trip together to look at solar yard ornaments and there they were: the season's flowers. They were so pretty with their vibrant petals and soft green leaves. I just had to have some. And you know within a couple of weeks they'll all be picked over and showing wear and tear. Their like bathing suits in March or mitten in August — you gotta get 'em while the gettin's good.
So begonias, petunias, dianthus and more came home with us.
Then came the chilly nights. The pretty flowers were relegated to the garage with no sun.
I have to admit it felt good to fill those pots with the rich, dark potting soil and arrange the flowers just so.
Then came the chilly nights. All the flowers and plants came inside into the mud room. The washer and dryer tops were both full, the counters were full and the boot took residence on a kitchen counter. They stayed in for three days until Friday at lunch. Temperatures are forecast to be in the 40s at night for the next several days so, for a little while, the danger has passed.
I've got news for those plants — they better put on their big girls pants and tough it out. They are officially on their own as far as the temperature goes. I've got spring fever and they belong outside on the porch soaking up the sun and getting big and gorgeous. It's their job.
And as for my friend who has a bet with someone there will be one more trackable snow: Phhhhhhht!
