Thanks for the Memories -- A salute to the Tricolour yearbook
The Tricolour is one of the last university yearbooks published in Canada. However, to generations of grads, their memory books are imbued with what Principal Robert Charles Wallace once called "a garment of romance."
Review redux – A reprint from the Fall 2002 issue of the QAR
It was a case the Scooby-Doo gang might be called upon to solve. On a cold and rainy night in May 2002 -- I'm not sure whether it was cold and rainy, but it adds drama, doesn't it -- the Queen's "Tricolour" offices were broken into by a mysterious band of rebels. Cash, a computer, cameras, and scanning equipment -- estimated to be worth more than $15,000 -- were stolen. Data stored in the stolen computer had been compiled throughout the year for the 2001-2002 edition.
Despite the setback, Kate Walker, Yearbook and Convocation Services manager, was optimistic that the Tricolour staff would be able to meet their June publication deadline. "We have to rebuild a bit," she said, "but we didn't lose any hard copies." According to Walker, the production of the 2001-2002 Tricolour was never in jeopardy.
But the incident got me wondering exactly what would have happened if the yearbook had not been printed. Surely, the world wouldn't have stopped spinning. Or would it...?
At first, I wondered what the fuss was all about. They're just books. Then I remembered my high school yearbooks. My mom calls them my "personal bibles." Those books got thumbed through more often than a Victoria Secrets catalogue in a men's dorm. So I guess I can understand why people would be upset if the Tricolour couldn't be published this year.
The Tricolour is a memory book: it has little sentimental value to non-alumni, but to generations of grads, their Tricolours are imbued with what Principal Robert Charles Wallace once called "a garment of romance."
Thinking about all of this, I realized that next year, my own romance with Queen's will draw to a close. After four years of life at Queen's, like so many who have gone before me, I will be nudged out of the nest and I'll have to fend for myself, whether or not I think I'm up to the challenge.
Don't get me wrong. I don't dread graduation. On the contrary: in many ways, I welcome the chance to spread my wings. Yet at the same time, the excitement I'm feeling is tinged with a bit of uncertainty.
Acknowledging my own reluctance to "grow up," I thought about the thousands of Queen's grads who have gone before me. Did they share my apprehensions? Curious to know, I went to the Queen's archives, where I leafed through the pages of old Tricolour yearbooks.
What I discovered eased my concerns. Sort of. It turns out that graduation and anxiety go together like beer and pizza.
In 1935, the anonymous Science class prophet wrote: "With a mingling of regret, wonder for the future, but still a vagrant sprinkling of relief, Sc''35 finds its tenure of Queen's slowly going."
As I scanned the photographs of past graduates, I couldn't help but laugh at the irony: next year, my face will be entombed -- like a prehistoric mosquito caught in amber -- in the glossy pages of Tricolour 2003. Observing the fashion and hairstyle trends -- mistakes, in some cases -- of past decades, I couldn't help but wonder what impressions my yearbook will make on someone from the class of 2053.
The Tricolour -- one of the few remaining university yearbooks in Canada -- has a rich history. Back in 1900, Arts, Medicine, and Science each issued their own yearbooks. Faculty rivalries were intense at that time. We "modern" students with our Frosh Week chants ("McDonald's, McDonald's") have nothing on the pre-World War I students.
Writing in 1927, Callum McLennan, BCom'28, observed, "In 1917 it was felt that better results could be obtained by the three faculties cooperating and publishing a combined yearbook." The transition was far from being smooth -- it took them 10 years to get it right -- but the separate faculties were gradually able to put aside their rivalries long enough to produce a combined yearbook.
Also in 1927, the AMS took over the helm of "the Yearbook." In earlier years, the publication had been solely for the graduating class. Relatively little attention was given to campus life or to junior years. The AMS sought to make the Yearbook more reflective of the student body as a whole. In 1928, editor J.L. Mutter, BCom'28, wrote, "Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior year societies have been given more consideration than ever before, and the attempt has been made to include in the volume all features likely to be of general interest."
According to E.T. Sherwood, BA'36, in subsequent years the "Yearbook" was "a record of the year's activities at Queen's, recording all incidents of importance, embodying all that is best and most characteristic of our University, and thus having an interest for all students of Tricolour-1953-coverwhatever year."
In 1928, the editorial board of the Queen's Year Book christened the publication the "Tricolor," spelled with the "American" spelling. In his editorial note, J. L. Mutter addressed the change, saying that the word "Tricolor" had become synonymous with Queen's. The editors thus felt that "no more fitting title could be given to a volume which displays on its pages a pictorial history of these last four years." Wishing to establish a tradition in the manner of the U of T Varsity and McGill's Old McGill, the editors hoped the publication's new name would catch on.
The Tricolor didn't merely document campus activities. Being a history buff, while looking at Tricolors from the early 1940s, I noticed the special section devoted to the war effort. During World War II, the Yearbook served as a summary of campus military activities. It chronicled the University community's unwavering support for the war effort. In 1940, the Tricolor reported that, "More than half the men have joined the Canadian Officers' Training Corps; half the women studied home nursing, and most of the remainder helped with Red Cross work or took the motor mechanics course."
Coincidentally, I noticed that the faces in old Tricolors appear different somehow. At first, I couldn't figure out what that difference was. Then I realized I was comparing the male students to my father-- the way he looks now, at age 52. Young men aren't supposed to look like my father! That's when it hit me: the students in past Tricolors looked older. Their faces reflect the seriousness of the times.
In the 1930s and 1940s, students faced not only the difficulty of paying for their education -- at that time going to University was even more of a privilege than it is now --but also with the Great Depression and World War II. Times were tough. The strain of living in a war-torn world and a fractured economy is reflected in the maturity of their faces.
In other war-related Tricolor details, I noticed a strange anomaly near the end of the 1940s. In 1948, two issues of the Tricolor were published, Tricolor'48 and Tricolor'48 1/2. Why '481/2, I wondered.
A bit of research yielded an answer to that question. It seems that when WWII ended in 1945, there was a record freshman registration of 350 in the Faculty of Applied Science. The majority of these were veterans, along with the usual group of high school students. As a result of the influx of students, lecture and lab spaces were scarce.
Steps were taken to cope with the flood of new students, and the session was completed without complication. Then, exhibiting a spark of ingenuity, many of the Sc'49 men opted to take their courses in the summer, rather than in the winter along with their classmates. After a brief spring recess, 131 students began a summer session, giving birth to Sc'48 1/2. The men completed their degrees in the summer of 1948. Since they were a class apart -- the only "half-class" in Queen's history --Tricolor'48 1/2 is devoted to those unique grads.
There is a modern twist to the story, of course. University officials anticipate a similar population increase in the fall of 2003, when the phasing out of OAC in the Ontario school system results in the arrival on campus of the so-called "Double Cohort." Can we anticipate a Tricolour'06 and a Tricolour'06 1/2 in the near future? Only time will tell.
Reading the older Tricolors, I also noticed that the word "Levana" kept popping up. Whole sections were devoted to it -- academics, athletics, debate -- yet I'd never heard of it. When I found out what the Levana Society was, it reminded me of my favourite childhood book, The Berenstain Bears: No Girls Allowed, by Jan and Stan Berenstain. In the book, Brother Bear and his friends, unable to "deal" with Sister Bear's athletic superiority of Sister Bear, create a boys only club.
However the Levana Society put a spin on the plot: it was a girls only club -- no boys allowed. When I consulted the Queen's encyclopedia (http://advancement.queensu.ca/Encyclopedia), I discovered that the Levana Society, named after the Roman goddess of the rising sun, was founded in 1888 as the official association of women students at Queen's. In the years leading up to 1967, when the society merged with the Arts and Science Undergraduate Society, the Tricolor provides pictorial evidence of gender issues on campus through its documentation of Levana activities.
Just as the Levana Society has disappeared, so too has the "Tricolor." In 1978, the Tricolor officially became the "Tricolour." Kingston resident Trish Crowe, Arts'79, the 1978 editor, recalls that "nationalistic fervour" was the motivating factor for the change. She said the editorial board decided to add the missing "u" to the title because they thought, "it was wrong to use the American spelling. All of us associated with the Tricolour that year felt that we should be using correct Canadian spelling."
Of course, the editorial board had to push its proposal through the correct channels, but the AMS "big-wigs" eventually agreed with their idea. And thus the Tricolour was born.
Examining the "Campus Life" sections of old Tricolours was an entertaining experience: it was like looking at the past and the present simultaneously. Whether the students were from the class of 2001 or 1924, certain Queen's experiences have remained the same over the years. That in itself is a comfort. The world in which we live may be changing faster than we can adapt to it, but Queen's traditions continue. Frosh initiation, drinking beer on the porches of the ghetto, running late to class (or missing class altogether), have always been hallmarks of Queen's life.
Sure, the hairstyles and fashions have changed (thankfully), but the student experience has not. The limestone buildings on campus look much the same as they did in the 1920s; ivy still covers the walls. Tartan-clad Queen's bands continue to march at fall football games. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, though. After all, it's the Queen's mythology that draws students year after year. Queen's timelessness is part of its appeal.
In 1981 -- the year I was born -- the Tricolour editors described springtime in the ghetto, saying that it "conjures up images of beer on balconies, stereos, girl and guy watching, sun worshipping (tan maintenance crew), [and] football and baseball games between cars." Talk about deja vu! The passage was written in 1981, but anyone walking through the ghetto this spring would have seen the same scenes.
Another thing I noticed while looking through old Tricolours was that over the years, the amount of text has decreased. In the early 20th century, the printed word was as important as pictures. Faculty histories and prophecies recounted memorable Queen's moments and offered light-hearted predictions for each member of the graduating class.
The advice of faculty members to graduating students was also documented at the beginning of each volume. In the midst of the Great Depression, W.C. Clark, the Director of Commerce, addressed the graduating class: "Students graduating in 1933 will enter a world wracked and torn by a financial blizzard of unprecedented severity, a world chastened by misfortune, ready to give up the false gods of a jazz age, ripe for rebuilding. It may not be easy to make your initial adjustments to the world, to find a niche where you will be allowed to serve. But once you have found your place, you will have opportunities that no previous generation has enjoyed."
Prophecies were phased out in the late 1930s and early 1940s, a result of changing times and tastes. In the mid-1950s, the class histories disappeared; and in 1960, the faculty letters were discarded. Subsequent Tricolour editions have placed greater emphasis on pictures and less on words. In fact, the 2001 Tricolour resembles a glossy coffee-table book filled with beautiful images.
Despite the Tricolour's handsome new look, I long for the pearls of wisdom found in Tricolours of yesteryear. Belonging to that class of individuals who "lack direction" -- according to my grandmother -- and have yet to finalize their plans after graduation, I welcome the idea of someone telling me that everything is going to be okay.
As an English student entering a job market in which technological proficiency seems to play an ever-increasing role, I find comfort in the words of J. Matheson, the Dean of Arts in 1930: "The Arts Course does not in general train its students for stated professions. It leads to nowhere in particular, but its main glory is that it leads everywhere. ... You are not necessarily setting out with the technique of any profession, but you have the essential background of every profession."
Granted, I have about as much personal connection to the deans or principals who might offer their advice as I do to Martha Stewart. Yet all the same, on some level, Matheson's inspirational words would be a warm reassurance in these uncertain times.
Perhaps the emphasis on pictures is a byproduct of modern society. Bombarded with television, video games, cell phones, pagers, and the Internet -- the legacy of the technological age -- modern students have less time to read and are more visually oriented than students in the 1950s.
Perhaps the trend reflects the University's growing student body. Back in 1933, there were 3,548 registered students at Queen's. Small classes meant that people got to know most -- if not all -- of their classmates.
Last year (2001-2002), there were a total of 18,131 registered students on campus. In 2003, in addition to me, 112 other English majors are due to graduate – knock on wood! I know personally a couple dozen of my classmates, and I have a nodding acquaintance with others. Most are strangers to me.
That's the way it is nowadays. Students are lucky if they get to know a handful of their classmates.
Such a diverse student body means that the Queen's experience is far from being universal. It becomes hard to encapsulate the year in words when it would take hundreds of pages to document all of the year's activities.
As I left the archives, after leafing through all those old Tricolours, I realized how sad it would have been if the publication of Tricolour 2002 had been brought to a halt by that break-in I told you about. The Tricolour, like tams and the Oil Thigh, is a part of Queen's history. It would have been a shame if that history had been interrupted. Then again, if next year's grad pictures mysteriously disappear, I'll probably sigh in relief.

In the sweaty, irregular-heartbeat inducing lead-up to Wednesday's opportunity, and inevitable disappointment, at plucky Norwich, Woycheck Shezny would not leave me alone.
It's not the first time Shezny, a curious mix of talent and overconfident buffonery teetering just the right side of the Bendtner line, had seen fit to pronounce judgement on our beloved. "Getting above Tottenham is the main target", he said in December. "They will slip up eventually".
He was right. And I have no doubt that had it been Liverpool or Chelsea in third, the Nomads' sprint to the line would not have been half so fruitful. Because they despise us in a way that we cannot begin to reciprocate, and we are the only remaining yardstick by which they can be termed successful.
I'm going to assume that US-based readers and contributors will occasionally have their vision smeared with an Arsenal fan, but I live five minutes from the Emirates and cannot have a social life without engaging with them. Whether it is a party on a rooftop or a bask in the park, quite normal, intelligent adults are reduced to corrosive hissing when discussing Spurs.
For most of my, and their, conscious existence, superiority has been assumed beyond all doubt. We were the fat kid with glasses they could laugh at on the way to a hot date with a Spanish giant. But since the green shoots of Martin Jol, and the unravelling of Wenger's masterplan, the field has levelled incrementally, to the point that for years now, the consensus view is that Spurs have a better team.
That is unthinkable in N1 - on a par with getting eaten by a rabbit. The food chain doesn't work that way. Each year, the same bloody minded refusal to acknowledge that the clubs' trajectories are passing each other in opposite directions drags the best from Arsenal. Last season's 5-2 was among the most determined performances I have ever seen from a team, that on the day carried a pathological need to win.
The flip side is that Spurs, who for as long as I can remember, would lose if the other team really, really wanted to win, were inhibited. Like Andy Murray before he nailed a Grand Slam, the weight of history grows each year, the disadvantage adding to the opposition advantage. When we beat Arsenal for the first time since 1999, we won a few more soon after. Ditto Chelsea, and before that heinous bogey XI Aston Villa. When we finish above Arsenal it will happen again.
To defend local superiority is ambition revised down further even than the (again previously assumed) Champions League qualification. And what does life teach all but the Bill Gateses? Aim low and you finish lower. You can't hang an airport, an outlandish banking system and a sort of football club on spite, and certainly not well.
Pleasure has long since gone out of football for most red fans, most of whom could bitch their way through a brick wall and could teach Marxists about infighting. All that remains is to avoid embarrassment.
If AVB is that fresh, untainted perspective, if Holtby is more German than English, and Kaboul returns fresh and too stupid for nerves, the pressure is theirs, the opportunity ours. If Spurs' unbeaten run holds up a little longer, the volume of taunts will increase from the Arsenal dressing room and the Islington Halal butchers. Their fate is in our hands.

The family of a 17-year-old Durham boy who died in police custody Tuesday said they have not heard how the teen died, despite previous reports that he suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez said Jesus Huerta, a student at Riverside High School, was in the custody of Officer Samuel Duncan when he died Tuesday.
Lopez said Duncan was transporting Huerta to police headquarters to pick up a warrant charging the teen with second-degree trespassing. When Duncan arrived at police headquarters, he heard a loud noise in the car and Duncan jumped from the vehicle.
The patrol car then rolled and crashed into a van in the parking lot. Lopez said that it did not appear that any officer fired a weapon during the incident.
During a press conference Wednesday, Huerta's mother, Sylvia Fernandez, said the teen ran away from home, so the family called police to help locate him.
She said police picked her son up about a block from the home. She said the family feels bad that a call they initiated somehow led to a series of events that caused Huerta's death.
"Next time she is going to doubt picking up the
phone and calling a policeman," Huerta's sister, Evelin Huert, said on behalf of her mother.
Evelin Huerta previously said that police told the family that her brother had a self-inflicted gunshot wound. However she clarified that the family has not heard of a cause of death, only that a gun was involved.
"There was a gun involved and my brother was deceased. That's
the only thing that they've said so far," Evelin Huerta said.
Jesus' sister-in-law, Jamie Huerta, said the family has many questions, but they don't feel they are being properly answered by police. She said the family is unsure how he would have gotten a gun in the first place.
"It was their place to search him," Jamie Huerta said. "All they had to do was search him and we wouldn't be here today."
She added, "I don't know if he had the gun or if the gun was in the backseat already. All I know is there was a gun there. We had no knowledge that he even owned a gun or had one. We just don't know what happened."
Duncan has been placed on administrative leave with pay, which is standard procedure.
Huerta has faced charges before including possession of a burglary tool, resisting a public officer and trespassing on Feb. 16. He was charged with second trespassing on Nov. 12, 2012 and then possession of marijuana with intent to sell in Oct. 2012.
All of those charges were dismissed.

There have been no updates on this story for days now, and I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering how those critically injured in these accidents are doing... and praying for them. Could there be some update, please?

There has been no updates because of the pending investigation. There is speculation that alcohol was the cause. The indivual that was driving was drinking the night before. its a horrible loss either way.

- VeraDined on 7/13/2014Although Café at Opera provides convenience to have lunch before performance the food itself is overpriced and mediocreSpecial Features:
- Mixed opinionElandJessDined on 7/13/2014The convenience of this place is the highlight. The food is good but not worth the prices. The ambience is terrible and depressing. There are no windows or music, and low ceilings. We did, however, LOVE pre- ordering dessert and coffee for intermission. Both berry crumble and lava cake were delicious.
- Excellent foodOperawoodsideDined on 7/11/2014The food is excellent! Very high quality, seasonal and fresh. Very good for dietary issues such as gluten free or vegetarian. Plenty to choose from. Having desert wait for you during intermission is such a luxury! Great service. Room ambiance is only so-so.I would recommend this to a friend.
- A cafeteria by any other name....BecFinDined on 7/9/2014Patina's venue at SF Opera House is looking (and tasting) more and more like a large corporate undertaking--which it is. Food selections and quality range from mediocre to decent, and have deteriorated noticeably during the past few years. Convenience for performance patrons is the only rationale for dining here. Service is excellent, since it is a buffet....
- Great BuffetPlushDined on 7/9/2014We decided to try the food here initially due to the convenience of attending the opera immediately after. The buffet seemed more varied and interesting relative to the a la carte, so we did the buffet and it did not disappoint at all. From the Japanese beef stew to the melt in your mouth crusted salmon with the butter sauce, the diverse salads: potato salad with edamame as well as, the cucumber salad with shrimp. All were palette pleasers. The seating was comfortably spaced, with quiet conversational atmosphere. Will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Foodie5Foodie5VIPDined on 7/8/2014Great place to dine before the Opera. Buffet has good food selection and the convenience for going to the Opera cannot be beat.Special Features:
- VisitorsSukiDined on 7/8/2014We enjoyed the atmosphere, good food, friendly and attentive service. Not a lot of food, but just enough. Quick service and the specialty of having our dessert and drinks ready at our table for intermission at the Opera. Just being at the Opera House is pretty special. We had a la carte salads and checked out the buffet which looked very good and gourmet.Special Features:
- Delicious BuffetElizaDined on 7/8/2014The Opera Cafe is not only very convenient, but offers a delicious selection of foods at it's buffet. We have never been disappointed. It's location within the War Memorial Opera House makes this spot such a good choice, especially when dealing with time and parking issues in The City. The waiter was very professional and had our table ready again for intermission. After the opera we enjoyed walking around the dining area and looking at the portraits of Opera stars from the past. You will have plenty of time to enjoy a wonderful meal and walk around the inside of the stunning War Memorial Opera House.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre Opera SpotOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 7/6/2014Seafood salad was excellent but on the pricey side. But it is good to support the opera and staff and very convenient pre-performance spot.
- Pre-Opera Dining2eatwellDined on 7/6/2014For the good food and also for the convenience, the Café at the Opera is a fine place for lunch prior to a performance. It is a bit hectic during the final half-hour, but that is not the facult of the restaurant but of late arrivals. All in all, an enjoyable place to dine.Special Features:
- Excellent Dining at The Operagr8operadiningVIPDined on 7/6/2014Our experience with Madama Butterfly performance, as well as our dining experience at The Cafe at the Opera, were very memorable. Further, we were able to reserve our delicious opera cake, chocolate, and strawberries with champagne for the intermission. Our dining captain was Mr. Chung (who is excellent and wonderful), and he prepared our brunch and intermission orders professionally and efficiently. My family member and I loved Madama Butterfly and our dining experience. We are so honored to meet Madame Butterfly, the beautiful and gracious Patricia Racette, in person. Very memorable and touching experience before my family member's surgery the next day.Special Features:
- Cafe' at San Francisco Opera HouseOperaDinerDined on 7/5/2014Patina Group is the food vendor at the San Francisco War Memorial Opera House, and does an excellent job. Save driving and parking hassles trying to "make" the performance on time. Be there early, go to the basement bar and cafe', have an pleasurable drink, buffet dinner, and dessert, then to your seats and a glorious performance. Food is always extremely fresh, whether hot or cold. There's snap in the cooked vegetables, Expect fish, chicken, a carvery of beef, vegetarian, side dishes, many salads, fruit, bread, and cheeses. A clean second plate for a return trip is always provided. You will not be disappointed. Service is polite, and efficient. White linen bistro tables and comfortable straight chairs. Opera photos are on the walls.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Convenient, Good Choice!eveningonthetownDined on 7/5/2014The Opera Cafe is not only very convenient, but offers a wonderful selection of foods at it's buffet. The selection of salads and entries are very good. We have never been disappointed. It's location within the War Memorial Opera House makes this spot such a good choice, especially when dealing with time and parking issues in The City. The service is very good and we find the wait staff very knowledgeable. You will have plenty of time to enjoy a delicious meal and make in the Opera Pre-talk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre-opera mealOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/5/2014Usually just want some light meal prior to the opera and Cafe at the Opera definitely fills the bill. Salads (a la carte menu) were just the right amount for wife and me, but those who want more can have the full all you can eat buffet with good selections. Really enjoyed the smoked chicken/heirloom tomatos salad and the flank steak/roasted peppers one was pretty good as well. Desserts are a bit pricey, but can skip that and just have dessert after the opera. Venue could be better and service is friendly but just OK. All in all, pretty niceSpecial Features:
- Opera DiningSusieQzDined on 7/3/2014I love the North Box Bar..Open & Airy with a view of the entry atrium. Great menu of Dinner Salads, Cheese and Charcuterie. Can also pre-order cheese or dessert to be ready at intermission. Decent wine list. Makes it easy to park early and be in the opera pre-show. Be sure to ask specifically for North Box Bar when making reservations.I would recommend this to a friend.
- MADAME BUTTERFLYCaptainPinkertonDined on 7/3/2014our waiter Gregory was a delight. he let us know we could finish our supper later during intermission as well as pre-order dessert. very nice to leave the house at intermission and return right to the table you had supper at 530 to finish and have dessert at 830 and the return to the opera.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surprising good!catgetsdownDined on 7/3/2014We wanted a place to eat close to the opera house as my elderly mother could not walk very far and we didn't want to have to drive to a different area for dinner and then back for the opera. The Cafe at the Opera was really good! There were a lot of selections for salads and entrees - the salads were very good and the roast beef - excellent. They also prepared mashed sweet potatoes - Japanese sweet potatoes - that was our favorite for the evening. Desserts are separate from the buffet - but reasonable. The price is pretty steep but when you think about parking somewhere else, driving back, circling because there is no parking, it's worth it.Special Features:
- The food good, ambience dingyHeatherHDined on 7/3/2014We've never been to this cafe before, altho we've seen operas there before. However, not sure I would want to do it again, as the place felt old and tired. It could use a fresh painting, some plants, something that makes it look like a space the opera house cares about. It looked neglected and unthought about.
- FredDined on 7/2/2014hot and cold buffet was good; great carved beef; excellent and varied saladsSpecial Features:
- opera cafegrandmakDined on 7/2/2014My partner ordered from the menu and enjoyed his salad. The previous week I had done the same, and The Fisherman's Wharf Style Chopped Salad was very good. This time I did the buffet and while it was good I felt that I would have done better to order a salad at much less expense; I did not eat the prime rib, found the catfish good but a bit peppery, and the chicken had an objectionable sweet sauce; the salads were varied and fresh, the bread and cheese selection good. The Cafe at the Opera is a good place to have dinner and escape the rush between dinner at a nearby restaurant and the opera house. Another time we may partake of the more casual food available at the opera house. ISpecial Features:
- Great pre-event venue!jimmywesVIPDined on 7/1/2014If you're going to the opera this is definitely the place for your pre-show dinner. Food is excellent. Service is great for a Buffett. Convenience can't be beat! Have your dessert, drinks or coffee during the intermission. It's a total evening.I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/1/2014Very convenient if attending an event at the SF Opera House. Buffet seemed overpriced ($38), but nice choices and reasonable prices on the dinner menu.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/29/2014I had seafood salad ordered off menu - dressing was poor and seafood was soso - mostly out of a can I presume.Special Features:
- Good food at the operadragoncatrockyDined on 6/28/2014A visit to the opera is complete with a dinner at the downstairs Cafe. They have an excellent buffet with fresh food and prime rib. The service is good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- foodielover003Dined on 6/28/2014The ambiance was nice, the service excellent and the food delicious! Great venue to people watch also. I would recommend this dinning stop to all attendees of the opera!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Makes dining before the opera easyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/28/2014My dad and I had dinner before the opera recently at the Cafe. We ordered dinner off the menu, rather than having the buffet. Dinner was fine, nothing to write home about. Desert, a rhubarb-berry crumble, was out of this world. Service was slow, and the ambiance was a bit dreary. But it sure made things easy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This Cafe is convenientMaryDined on 6/28/2014This Cafe is convenient if you are going to a show at the Opera House but the buffet was ordinary. Some nice salads but the meat offerings were weak. The cat fish was awful. Must be cheap.
- Miles BergerOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/28/2014The Cafe makes us feel pampered and special. It adds to a wonderful evening at the opera. The intermission dessert is a great treat. The buffett is one of the best meals in town! We love it!Special Features:
- BalletDined on 6/28/2014Since there were 2 people with me I got a much better table than when I dined here alone and was seated to the side.Special Features:
- Unexpected Decline of the CafeConsumeristDined on 6/28/2014We have been going to the Opera Cafe for years. This time was really awful. Not the service, not the table, but the food: overdressed salads, overdone chicken. Something has evidently changed. We brought two guests who were equally surprised. They had never been to the Opera Cafe and are unlikely to return. what a shame.
- Dining pre-operaJodyDined on 6/27/2014Always elegant and delicious ....................................
- Madama ButterflyShannonDined on 6/27/2014For years we've always eaten at the Opera Cafe before the show for convenience sake. I have to say the menu for Madama Butterfly was the best we've ever had! Hats off to the chefs!,Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/27/2014Outstanding place to dine when attending the opera. "One-stop-shopping:" dine, go to preopera talk, then the opera; all nearby.
- Convenient for the operaLisaSDined on 6/27/2014The food is very nice and the service great for a buffet. The biggest draw is that it is so convenient before the opera. You can linger without worrying about making the performance.
- TimBDined on 6/26/2014great food and service, as well as convenience to opera upstairs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great choice before the operaLDSPVIPDined on 6/26/2014Located right below the main lobby, with early entrance provided through the north carriage entrance. Bis, diverse buffet for roughly $35. We also arranged for a small bottle of champagne and desserts at intermission, so they held the same table for us (to celebrate a birthday). We tried the fruity "special" cocktail and appreciated the very fast table service. Advise you to go early, as you get the table for the whole time before the opera (they don't seem to do multiple seatings).Special Features:
- Patina Group disappoints!BarbaraFVIPDined on 6/26/2014We had high hopes. The buffet is so uninteresting looking; food displays are unimaginative and unappealing. The a la carte menu is extremely limited and they never say that all the options are salads e.g., the flank steak offering looks like an entree but turns out to also be a salad! Better descriptions would be less deceptive. The hostess staff never smiles--bad first impression--although our waiter was pleasant. The room is dark and dismal, very depressing. It could be spruced up a bit. And then there's the constant stream (and noise) of opera patrons going to and from the restrooms, the entrances for which are right in the dining room. There must be a way to partition that traffic lane from the dining tables.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/26/2014i can't believe a fine organization like the san francisco opera could present us with a truly horrible "restaurant" like this. BAD EVERYTHING!!!
- nightingaleDined on 6/25/2014We had a very favorable time, with excellent food and excellent service. The timing was perfect to enjoy our meal in a relaxed atmosphere and not having to rush to make the performance. Also, because I had a recent surgery, it was easy to have dinner and make the opera.Special Features:
- Great dining at San Francisco OperanaparoseVIPDined on 6/25/2014This is a perfect spot for dining before you enjoy the opera. The buffet food is very good. Price is a bit high especially if your appetite is small. Probably better to order a la carte.Special Features:

Our one year old cat Tucker just LOVES to play in empty plastic bags (with supervision of course!) The day this picture was taken, I had emptied out a toilet paper package. She immediately started playing in the bag! I happened to snap this picture right as she was getting ready to jump out at me...she thinks you can't see her when she's hiding in bags...I'm pretty sure she thinks she's a mountain lion! Her face just cracks me up! My husband and I laugh every time we see it!

How beautiful, Lenna. You and I must be close to the same age. I trust life has treated you well, and that you are still as beautiful, for those who can see. Unlike friend Stan here. A full bush and tan lines could make a bit of a comeback - not for every shoot, but now and then, to remind us all.
Back around the turn of the century, an emigration epidemic known as America fever swept Sweden, with thousands pulling up stakes every week. It eventually waned and almost died out, but three years ago native Lenna Sjööblom caught it - and left her homeland in search of adventure across the Atlantic. "I'd finished school," she says, with characteristic Swedish inflections, "and I didn't want to just settle down and get married before I had seen America. So I got a visa and came to Chicago to visit a cousin." But what was intended to be only a short stay stretched into permanent residency for our Playmate, who has launched a successful career modeling for magazines, newspapers and catalogs. "The modeling work may have influenced my decision to stay," says Lenna, "but I think it was more the freedom here. Though I miss my parents and brother very much and Sweden will always be my home, I couldn't move back unless the government changed. The country's becoming too socialistic for me: like, I think it's wrong that people must pay such high taxes, even if that does make some public-welfare programs possible." Government policies, however, haven't prevented her from returning annually for family reunions and the traditional Midsummer Eve festivities. This past summer, Lenna spent a month in Sweden, touring Stockholm (a short distance from the Sjööbloms' home in the village of Järna), relaxing at their summer house on the Baltic Sea and trekking north to their mountain retreat. "We had a great time," says Lenna, "and I found out how much I appreciate my relatives. Even now, I'm still a bit homesick for them, but I'll get over that. Besides, there's always next summer."

Greening the White House
Greening the White House Imagine our next President announcing that on January 20, 2009 that he and the new First Lady will immediately begin remodeling by Greening the White House instead of just repainting and ordering new rugs to be made. They would announce a new initiative that will provide an example for other homes across the nation. Greening the White House could include covering the south lawn with solar panels, planting and serving organically grown food from their own garden, improving energy efficiency and indoor air quality, using on-toxic household products -- setting the example as we suffer from record high energy prices and global climate change. Greening the White House would encourage businesses across the country to create jobs, good green jobs, as they retrofitting homes and build green, a huge boost to our struggling economy. The White House is s symbol of our national home and when it is energy-efficient, non-toxic and our leaders are eating healthy, locally grown food while they tackle the nation's urgent needs, maybe they will not only consider the environment when they make decisions but also that they will encourage others to take action in their own homes and in their backyards. Sign the pledge to get the next President to start his term by Greening the White House and pass this on to get your friends to sign, too!

Open house being held for Sandy Hook students
MONROE, Conn. (AP) - An open house is being held at a repurposed school for students who attended Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown.
The open house is scheduled for Wednesday at a former middle school building in nearby Monroe. Workers and teachers have been getting the space ready, painting, moving furniture and recreating classroom spaces.
Some families have already visited the school ahead of the start of classes on Thursday. The children have not attended school since a gunman killed 20 of their classmates and six adults in a Dec. 14 rampage.
Counselors say it's important for children to get back to a normal routine and for teachers and parents to offer sensitive reassurances.

Marine Squall
The 'Marine Squall' is a waterproof boot, which supplies a high-performance answer to extreme weather conditions. The inside is lined with 200 grams of Thermolite fleece, and the outside features carefully designed drainage to protect the wearer from the outer elements. Sebago knows that the wearer will be constantly in action, so the sole is non-slip, and has a shock absorbent EVA bed to cushion the foot.
With the 'Marine Squall' the wearer can reap the benefits of having a boot with not only increased flexibility, but increased comfort and support. The pull-on, leather design, whilst absolutely practical, is also classic-looking and stylish.
The Marine Squall has already received excellent reviews and is recommended by Chairman of the 2012 Olympic Sailing Venue Edward Leask;
"The boots were incredible! I was surprised by how comfortable they were - they kept my feet nice and warm and dry while also providing me with good grip on a wet deck that allowed me to stay on my feet and maneuver around the boat with ease. Simply put, they did exactly what a great pair of boots should do: give you comfort and reliability so that you can concentrate on sailing as fast as you can. A brilliant product for any sailor or racer. Great job Sebago!"
- The boot also incorporates;
- • Waterproof Construction
- • Premium Full Grain Waterproof Leather and Cordura Upper
- • Medial Side Drainage Ports between Upper and Waterproof Lining
- • Brushed Polyester Fleece Lining with 200 grams Thermolite®

- • Navy/Dark brown
- • Coffee/Toffee
Overall Rating
Marine Squall - Boots
For years I have suffered with cold feet, not just sailing but indoors too. Admittedly I've never tried a premium product, but I must say this Easter saw us turn round from a planned trip to France due to the cold, however my feet were snug and warm for the first time in years ! I generally take a size 9 (UK) and so ordered 9.5 to take into account the thicker or thermal socks I always wear. Yes the product is new and not had chance to wear in but I have had to omit the thicker sock for normal ones for ease of getting on & off. I haven't needed the thermal sock !

Student demetia project receives funding to expand
12:15pm Friday 24th January 2014 in News
A FILM produced by students at NEW College as a learning tools for healthcare professionals, has been given additional funding to be developed into a national online resource.
'Stand by Me' was produced by HND Media Production students at the college in 2011 as a commissioned project from the NHS, and it was intended for use as part of a learning resource for trainers, trainees and healthcare professionals, to help them better communicate with people living with dementia.
Since then the film has gone on to be nominated for a National Learning on Screen award, and receive positive feedback from the thousands of practitioners using it in surgeries, homes, care homes, hospitals, training sessions and universities across the West Midlands.
As a result the Department of Health has approved a large budget to develop 'Stand by Me' as a national online resource, which will be produced by NEW College along with the University of Worcester's Association for Dementia Studies, and Skills of Health in London.
The new project will use current foundation degree Media Production students to re-edit the video material, and it is due to be launched in January of next year.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — Selling the sock
Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling may have to resort to desperate and unusual measures to pay off millions of dollars in loan debt that he owes from his failed video game company.
Schilling used the sock, which is currently on display at the Baseball Hall of Fame, as collateral in September to the Bank of Rhode Island, where he took out loans for his video game company 38 Studios, which filed for bankruptcy in June.
Schilling told WEEI on Thursday that he may have to sell the sock to pay for the guaranteed loans.
"I'm obligated to make amends, and unfortunately this is a byproduct of that," Schilling said.
Games Canceled
It's official, the NHL will be missing games due to the lockout. The league, which recently locked out the players over the failure to come to a collective bargaining agreement, canceled all regular season games up until Oct. 24. The league was scheduled to begin play on Oct. 11.
Several NHL stars have signed to play overseas during the lockout. It seems the owners are serious about this lockout, meaning they are serious about damaging a sport that has come a long way since it was decimated by a lockout in the 2004-2005 season.
If the NHL sits out another year, it will take more than eight years to bounce back, and the NHL may not be able to afford eight dismal years as other sports catch up and surpass it in popularity.
Rookie of the Month
Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones has looked excellent in his first four games as a pro. This week the NFL agreed as the Patriots rookie was named the AFC Rookie of the Month. The award comes just two days after Tom Brady was named AFC Player of the Week for week 4.
Jones, a first round draft pick out of Syracuse, has two sacks on the year and a forced fumble to go along with 10 tackles.

For nearly four years, the Mystery Monkey of St. Petersburg eluded capture. Some local residents took photos and video of the rhesus macaque monkey, but wildlife officials could not capture him. Finally luck ran out and the monkey was safely captured last October.
For almost a year, the monkey, now named 'Cornelius', has called Dade City's Wild Things Zoo home.
Zoo president Randy Stearns said the monkey is doing great.
"He's adjusted quite well. We will be coming by on a tour and he'll just come up and to you and start talking and chatting away," Stearns said.
The custom made enclosure that the monkey lives in is part of a tour offered at the zoo. Stearns says 'Cornelius' is quite popular.
"He's kind of became a legend in Tampa and he made national and international news," Stearns said.
And things are about to heat up for the shy primate. Wild Things has recently acquired a female companion for 'Cornelius'. Her name is 'Chrissy'.
Stearns says, "it's nice for him to have a friend to hang out with. And the girl we found has the same temperament as him. He's a very laid back guy. He loves to just sit around. He's not very active and the one we got for him is the same way so we think they will get along very well."
'Chrissy is still in quarantine and she'll be there for the next couple of weeks. When she is finally given a clear bill of health, she'll join 'Cornelius' in her new home.
When asked if this new relationship will mean baby monkeys in the future, Stearns said, "it's possible. Right now we're just working with the vet. But everyone agrees that this is a really good thing for him."

Reviewed May. 1, 2013
This was yummy!!! I even forgot to get coriander at the store and made it without it. Can't wait to see what kind of flavor it adds! Yummy! I got a roisterer chicken at the store for the chopped cooked chicken.
Reviewed Feb. 21, 2013
Delicious! I double the recipe for a 9X 13 pan.
Reviewed Jan. 18, 2013
I added some chopped jalapenos as we like dishes a bit spicy. I really thought it was easy though and will certainly make it again.

How is Big Picture Classes different from other scrapbooking education

How is Big Picture Classes different from hands-on classes that
I could take at a local craft store?
A: Big Picture Classes encourages students to use materials they
have on hand or materials that can be acquired in their local economy.
This ultimately stimulates the business of retailers globally and
more importantly promotes personal adaptation and creative growth
that sustains individuals in scrapbooking long term. Big Picture
Classes teaches both projects and process. This unique approach
builds a solid foundation for creative exploration in loyal students.
What are the various types of classes I can take? If I am a beginner,
what class should I start with?
A. Big Picture Classes offers a wide range of convenient online
classes: on-demand, self paced projects; and progressive multi-week
guided workshops both delivered
by expert instructors. Stacy encourages first-time students to experience
one of our FREE classes.
How much do classes cost?
A. The price of self-paced projects and workshops vary. Self-paced
projects typically range from FREE to $12. The average cost of a
self-paced project is $10. Workshops range from FREE up to $250.00
for an exclusive year-multi-week long course. The average cost of
a workshop is $25.

A. Once you have registered for a class, the materials are available
to you forever! Simply login to your account, and click "My
Classes" to access all of your current and past classes!
What materials are available in your classes?
A: We try our best to describe what each class contains within the
class description. Please be sure to read through the description
to get a specific idea of what materials are included within the
class. Typically, a class includes a welcome letter from your instructor,
an audio message in multiple formats (streaming, transcript, and
downloadable MP3), PDF project handouts, and a class gallery. Other
class features include private message boards, chat rooms for live
interaction with your instructor, videos, web presentations, downloadable
templates, books and/or kits, and whatever else our creative minds
can come up with!
Is there a specific time during which each class/workshop is available?
A: Yes and No. Our Self-Paced Projects are available for immediate
access, and will permanently remain in your class list. Our workshops
have a start and end date, in which the instructor will be available
in class these dates are posted
within the class description. Once you are a registered participant,
you will be able to access the virtual classroom anytime during
those dates. Weekly lessons are available from Thursday morning
to Wednesday night (Pacific Time Zone.) The weekly lessons are archived
in the classroom for the duration of the class. When you choose
to view, listen and download the class is entirely up to you, and
you'll have "forever access" to your workshop classroom!
It does not matter what time zone you live in, you can take and
enjoy Big Picture classes!
I live outside the United States, can I take classes at bigpictureclasses.com?
A: Of course you can! That's the beauty of the Internet. We are
so excited that we can share and learn together, across this BIG
world of ours. If you live outside the United States, you may experience
some frustration obtaining recommended materials as we cannot guarantee
international availability of items listed on our supply lists.
Please remember that we encourage and celebrate personal adaptation
and substitutions!
Is there a limit to how many people can take a class?
A: Most of the time, there will NOT be a limit to the number of
people that can sign up for a Big Picture class or workshop. Occasionally,
an instructor may choose to limit class/workshop size so that she
can interact personally with each student via e-mail. In these instances,
the limit will be posted with the class description.
If I miss a chat with my instructor, will transcripts be available?
A: Yes. Transcripts from the instructor chat will be archived under
the "Chat" button in your classroom, typically within
72 hours of the chat.
Will there be transcripts of the audio files available?
A: Yes. If you have a slow internet connection, hearing impairment,
or just don't want to listen to your instructor talking, you'll
have the option of viewing the audio transcripts.
Will classes feature step-by-step instructions?
A: Our downloads will have written step-by-step instructions, feature
multiple "process" photos and images of the final project.
We strive to make our instructions clear & simple so that you'll
be guaranteed phenomenal results!
What if I miss a whole week of my workshop? How can I get the materials?
A: All of the materials are archived within the classroom, which
means you can go back to previous weeks assignments. If your workshop
has ended, don't worry the materials
are available to you forever! Simply login to your account, and
click "My Classes" to access
all of your current and past classes!
I have dial-up internet access; will I still be able to take Big
Picture classes? How will my slow connection speed affect my experience?
A: Our classroom area was designed with simplicity and load-time
in mind so that everyone can enjoy these classes. We will include
an option to view transcripts of both the audio files and live chats,
in case load-time is cumbersome with your connection speed. All
downloads are saved at a manageable file size. All students will
be able to view the classroom pages quickly & easily.
Can I share a class or workshop with my friend?
A: Not if you want us to stay in business. When you register for
any class or workshop, you will be asked to read and agree to our
terms. We trust you will be good to your word, so that we can continue
to grow and bring you top-notch education! Think of entering our
virtual classroom as you would enter a classroom at your local scrapbook
store. You wouldn't be able to bring a non-paying friend with you
- plus, sharing your personal password can be a scary thing. It's
best to keep your private information exactly that - private!
Can I see a picture of the page or project we will be creating before
I register?
A: The short answer is sometimes. Here's the longer answer:
Your expectations are important to us and we are very keen on promoting
the ideas and projects shared in our classes. We will often post
a photo of the project being taught, or at least a "sneak peek."
Much of the time our instruction goes far beyond the making of a
project, so we reserve the right to emphasize the process over the
Once you have
access to the virtual classroom, you will see the page or project
designed by your instructor. Part of what makes Big Picture education
unique is that regardless of what the page or project is, you will
be inspired to customize it to your needs, your style and your life!
As a registered member, you'll enjoy our Exclusive
Inside Access with lots of sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes
information about our current line-up of classes.
A Note about
supply lists: You will be given a generic list of materials that
you will need to complete the page or project featured in your class.
You may choose to gather these materials from your own stash
we'd love to help you use up what you already have; or you
may choose to purchase them from a retailer. In some cases, we will
provide links to a specialty item or a kit of products as a matter
of convenience to you.
I'd love to learn about new products and cutting-edge techniques.
Can I do that at Big Picture Classes?
A: Can we be honest with you? While we too love product and techniques,
we are more excited about bringing you inspiration and instruction
for timeless products and trusted techniques. The latest and greatest
is something our industry already does very well, so we'll continue
to provide a fresh focus on principles and practices that will help
you sustain your passion long-term.
Will I get feedback from my instructor or other students on my work?
A: If, within the class description, it lists "instructor feedback"
as an included item, you are guaranteed to receive individual critiques.
Otherwise, your instructor may offer general comments on your gallery
postings. Within the gallery you will be able to post your work,
see the work of others and enjoy feedback from fellow students.
You also have the option of sending personal messages to other students
via an email link. The interactive communities that grow inside
our classrooms are a major bonus of education at Big Picture Classes.
Will you host a message board where I can interact with other members
of my class?
A: All of our workshops feature private message board forums, organized
for ease of interaction and information retrieval. We also host
a public Big Picture social forum
for our members where you can freely interact outside of our classrooms.
This general board allows you to share and read class reviews and
student recommendations.
Do you offer PayPal as a payment option?
A: We do! We are very excited to offer two different payment options.
We have an integrated registration system, which will allow you
to register for your class right up to the day it starts! You can
either checkout directly from our site using our secure payment
terminal, or you can use PayPal. Our system is safe, secure and
so easy to use. Credit & debit cards are accepted.
Will I be able to see my instructor, or just hear her?
A: Most of our classes include an audio file only. But we do offer
some classes that have integrated videos and presentations. Just
check the class description to see what it includes!
I'm having technical difficulties with the classroom, where do I
go for help?
A: Please start off by viewing our technical
support page. We have listed the most common problems students
encounter, and solutions. If further help is needed, there is also
a link in the support section to contact our technical department.
What do I need to have installed to view your classes?
A: While our classes are designed to be as compatible as possible
with all systems, we encourage you to use either Explorer, Firefox,
Chrome or Safari for your browser. You will also need Adobe Acrobat
installed to view our PDF handouts, and in some classes you will
need Flash Player. We also recommend having Windows Media or QuickTime
installed for viewing video.
I am having trouble logging in...help!
A: Typically, if you are having trouble logging in, it is a problem
with the username or password. Please remember, the information
is case-sensitive, so if you have letters capitalized, when they
should be lowercase (and vice-versa), it will give you an error.
You can always click "forgot password", type in your email
and press "submit". The system will send a temporary password
to the email address you have on file. If it takes a while, be sure
to check your junk mail folder. Once you receive your new password,
it works best to copy and paste it into the password box. This should
do the trick and you will be able to log in, you can always go into
"my information" to change your password back from the
computer generated one to one that is easily remembered. If this
doesn't work, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What sort of payments do you accept?
A: We accept Master Card, Visa, Discover, American Express and PayPal.
We also accept personal checks (e-checks) via PayPal, but e-checks
are not instant like credit cards, so it may take a few days for
the class(es) to appear in your account. Our system is extremely
secure and we run our Credit Cards through Authorize.net which is
one of the most used and most secure processing websites available.
If you are an International customer and our system is not accepting
your card (actually it is typically your billing address which it
doesn't accept), we recommend using the PayPal option. You do not
need a PayPal account to use PayPal. Just click the PayPal payment
option in the checkout process. After you confirm your order, the
system will send you to PayPal. Click the link under "Don't
have a PayPal account?" to pay with a Credit Card.
What is a scrapbook?
A. Unlike a traditional photo album featuring snapshots of person
or family, people or events in chronological order, a scrapbook
celebrates personal expression and can incorporate a wide range
of personal items including photos, memorabilia, art, poetry, journal
entries, decorative elements, designers papers, and more. Ideal
for a personalized gift or as a way to celebrate family memories
and milestones, a scrapbook can be as simple is a wonderful way
to tell a story and appreciate the big and small moments in life.
What is a digital scrapbook and how does it compare to other types
of scrapbooks?
A. A digital scrapbook is a scrapbook that you create online on
your computer with the use of digital photos and digital scrapbook
elements. Digital scrapbooks can be shared virtually with others
or printed for personal use and gift giving. Hybrid forms of scrapbooking
combine both traditional hands-on creativity with digital photos,
tools or enhancements.
Why scrapbook?
A. People have always passed on their family stories
and scrapbooking is a fun, creative way to celebrate and
share life's special moments. Furthermore, it is a journey of personal
self-awareness and discovery that lifts the spirit and reminds us
that life is full of positive moments, big and small.
Can anyone scrapbook or do you need to have a craft or art background?
A. Scrapbooking is about memories and EVERYONE has memories of people
and places and things they love
special moments they want to remember. With the formats available
today, ANYONE can scrapbook!
What are the personal rewards of creating a scrapbook?
A. Personal rewards are as diverse as the people who seek them.
It's different for each individual but Big Picture Classes offers
expert instruction and a unique approach to scrapbooking that unlocks
a person's true creativity and helps them to easily tell scrapbook
stories around life's special moments.
What if I've never created a scrapbook before - are there classes
for beginners?
A. Absolutely Big Picture Classes
offers classes for beginners as well as savvy scrappers. Because
we focus on teaching fundamentals and because we encourage personal
adaptations, the vast majority of our classes are ideal for anyone.
Our class descriptions will communicate the objective of each class
and indicate whether a particular skill level is required.
What supplies do I need to scrapbook?
A. It's easy! Each class description includes a link to a PDF supply
list. This list of mostly generic materials will be your guide as
you prepare to take the class. We'll even help you gather the basic
tools and find resources for specialty items.

Hurricane Sandy demolished homes on Bayview Avenue East in Lindenhurst on Long Island's south shore. Entire floors remain missing and wood decks floated in from the ocean.
Stephen and Roseann Frisch will have to bulldoze their home, which was flooded by 5 feet of water, and completely rebuild it.
Insurance companies have not paid the Frisches, yet that is not what's most upsetting to them. On Tuesday night, burglars broke into their empty house and used the packing boxes the Frishes bought to loot portable valuables such as jewelry, clothes, expensive purses, a safe with bank information, and a shotgun.
Because of the Superstorm Sandy damage, most of the houses on their street are empty and do not have electricity, gas, or water. No one is around to call police.
Suffolk County police say since January 1, 2013, three homes were burglarized on Bayview Avenue East. But neighbors say actually four homes were burglarized since then and another house was hit two weeks ago.
Marie Puglisi said burglars hit her house twice, including Wednesday night, but she did not call police again because they took so long to respond during Sandy.
Neighbor Bob Brittan said burglars broke into his home, but most of his valuables were washed away
Stephen Frisch said his insurance company is offering $2,600 for personal items stolen. Roseann Frisch said she misses most an inexpensive pearl ring her deceased father gave her when she was 7.

Audra McDonald's Go Back Home Concert Broadcast on "Live from Lincoln Center" May 24
By Adam Hetrick
Five-time Tony Award-winning actress Audra McDonald's May 9 Avery Fisher Hall concert, featuring songs from her new album "Go Back Home," is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide May 24 as part of "Live from Lincoln Center."
Andy Einhorn (Cinderella) musical directed and conducted the concert that airs at 9 PM (check local listings).
The concert celebrates a selection of composers who figure into McDonald's career, including Adam Guettel, Michael John LaChiusa, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, and Stephen Sondheim.
McDonald also brings her voice to the work of new songwriters, including Adam Gwon, Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich, and Will Reynolds. A 33-piece orchestra accompanies McDonald.
Directed by Lonny Price (Merrily We Roll Along, Sweeney Todd), the concert is based on McDonald's fifth Nonesuch Records studio album "Go Back Home," which was released May 21. The album takes its title from the Kander and Ebb song from The Scottsboro Boys.
McDonald earned Tony Awards for her work in The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess, Carousel, Master Class, Ragtime and A Raisin in the Sun. Her work on stage also includes Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny with Patti LuPone, as well as Tony-nominated performances in 110 in the Shade and Marie Christine. On screen she has appeared in the television adaptations of "A Raisin in the Sun," "Wit" and "Annie." She is known to television audiences for "Private Practice" and "Grey's Anatomy."
Her solo releases also include "Way Back to Paradise" (1998), "How Glory Goes" (2000), "Happy Songs" (2002) and "Build a Bridge" (2006).

There are many museums to
visit in Nacogdoches, including the Durst Taylor Historic House. The museum has
officially re-opened after installing a new permanent exhibit that brings in
multiple interactive features.
QR codes, informational
flip books for children and artifacts are just some of the new things on
exhibit at the 2nd oldest building in Nacogdoches.
"We had wonderful
researchers and exhibit team that found out things about this property that I
didn't know," said Durst-Taylor Museum Director Jessica Sowell.
The museum wanted to make
the exhibits more interactive and showcase other places in towns.
"You scan these codes
and it takes you to websites that have something to do with the overall
medallion," Sowell said. "We're trying to bring it to the 21st century. A
lot of people think museums are hands off and everything stays the same and nothing
gets updated. That's absolutely not true. We are trying to show that there are
things you can touch. There are things you can use your smart phones in a museum
The exhibit focuses on the
house and the way Nacogdoches has fit in the overall history of the country.
"We also have a
timeline that runs across the top of the exhibit that talks about American
history like the civil war and man landing on the moon and different events
that show where Nacogdoches was here while everything else was happening."
The new exhibit does more
than benefit the Durst house.
"We're going to tell
them, 'visit the Stone Fort or go to Millard's Crossing," Sowell said. "Go to
the old North Church or Old University building. We really try to promote the
overall museum atmosphere in Nacogdoches."
It is an exhibit that
truly has something for everyone.
The museum is open to the public Tuesday
through Saturday from 10 a.m.- 4p.m.
