Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Here are some ideas for easy favors for the guests at your next garden party.
These harbingers of spring delight me, and while individual types may be here today and gone tomorrow, the show continues over several months, with a large cast of characters. One thing that many of these perennial wildflowers have in common is an interesting history.
Some of the earliest blooms appear in March and include bloodroot, Sanguinaria canadensis, hardy to Zone 4, and Mayapple, Podophyllum pelatatum, Zone 3. Even before they come into flower, their green and blue-green foliage against the dark brown forest floor is especially welcome.
The Mayapple flowers hang down under large umbrella-like leaves. Bloodroot blooms are delicate and shiny white, elegant but fleeting. I grow both of these perennials, but would also like to have the double-flowered selection of bloodroot called 'Multiplex.' I still remember years ago when I first saw this plant growing in the Wister Garden at Swarthmore College (known for the Scott Arboretum). It looks like a miniature rose and once you see it blooming, you, too, will want to add it to your garden. The origins of the name bloodroot or Sanguinaria, which means bleeding, come from how the Indians used the red juice from the underground stems for war paint and to dye clothing and baskets.
Another early bloomer is cutleaf toothwort, formerly known as Dentaria laciniatabut some authorities now call it Cardamine concatenata.
Personally, I prefer the old name but, whatever you call it, it's still a good plant. Sometimes it's referred to as pepperroots for the spicy radish-like flavor of the rhizome, recorded by some for use in salads. Here it is paired with the trout lily, Erythronium americanumin, the garden.
For a colorful combination that appears usually in April, Virginia bluebells, Mertensia virginica, and yellow celandine poppy, Stylophorum diphyllum, are easy to grow and disappear after they flower, leaving room for ferns and other late bloomers.
According to native plant expert, George Sanko, these ephemerals are "living in the fast lane." Because they need sun to grow, they come up in early spring and go through their sexual life cycle and die back before the deciduous canopy puts out its new leaves for the season. If you don't pay attention, they disappear (just the top growth, right before your eyes). Although it's true, that once they die back no top growth is visible, the roots are busy storing up sugars for a repeat performance next year.
Because they disappear, once they bloom, it's a good idea to plant spring ephemerals in combination with plants like ferns that leaf out after these perennial wildflowers bloom. In this important role, ferns serve as a marker and fill the empty space for summer. This will help you avoid planting other plants on top of existing plants. Native azaleas and oakleaf hydrangea both make good companions for these early spring bloomers, growing happily in similar conditions. Trees to consider for the same or similar setting include selections of native dogood, Cornus floridaand, and redbuds, Cercis canadensis.

More quote details and news » turned in a messy fourth-quarter performance, as it booked a huge profit from asset sales while some of its remaining businesses sounded a sour note.
AIG on Thursday posted net income of $11.2 billion in the fourth quarter, aided by large reported gains on overseas units the giant insurer sold to repay its government bailout.
Robert Benmosche Bloomberg News
But the company's core insurance businesses, whose growth prospects will factor heavily in a large stock offering that AIG is preparing for this spring, turned in a weaker performance during the period. Overall, AIG's remaining units reported an operating loss of $2.2 billion in the fourth quarter, versus a $1.3 billion operating loss a year ago; their full-year loss was $898 million.
Chartis, the New York company's global property- and casualty-insurance business, reported a $4 billion operating loss for the fourth quarter after booking a $4.2 billion net reserve charge to reflect sharply higher claims estimates for asbestos, workers' compensation and other types of insurance policies sold in previous years.
Most of the higher reserves were on business written many years ago, but a portion was for policies sold in 2008 and 2009. The latter could fan investor concerns about the profitability of business Chartis took in the wake of AIG's bailout, when it struggled to retain corporate customers.
Chartis's net premiums rose 9.4% in the fourth quarter, but excluding a Japanese business it acquired, premiums fell 3.3% amid a highly competitive and softening market for commercial insurance.
AIG's other major insurance business, a U.S. life insurer called SunAmerica Financial Group, saw fourth-quarter operating income slip 4% to $1 billion as its sales of life insurance, fixed and variable annuities and other products dropped 6% year on year to $4.9 billion.
The price of oil backed off a bit as supply fears eased. Also, Boeing scores a major defense contract, AIG turns a profit for the first time in 3 quarters, and Google unveils changes to its search algorithm.
International Lease Finance Corp., AIG's giant aircraft-leasing business, swung to a $606 million fourth-quarter operating loss after recording large impairment charges to reflect lower estimated values of certain aircraft in its fleet.

These and other asset sales enabled AIG to book a $17.6 billion gain that took it into the black for the fourth quarter and full year 2010. But that reported gain is largely academic because the cash proceeds from the sales were used to repay the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the first quarter of 2011 and securities AIG received as part of the consideration will be sold to repay the Treasury.
AIG's annual report, meanwhile, showed how much the company has shrunk following its asset sales. At the end of 2010, AIG and its subsidiaries had 63,000 employees, down from 96,000 a year ago.
For the full year, AIG reported net income of $7.8 billion, versus a $10.9 billion net loss in 2009 and a far cry from the record $99 billion loss it posted in 2008.
On Friday morning, AIG officials led by Chief Executive Robert Benmosche will host AIG's first earnings conference call in two years to discuss the company's performance and outlook for its businesses. In a statement Thursday, Mr. Benmosche said AIG is now focused "on long-term growth and building value at our ongoing insurance operations and other businesses" and will devote attention to managing its risk and capital, and achieving cost savings throughout the company.
Many Wall Street analysts dropped coverage of AIG after its near-collapse in 2008. Most large brokerages are likely to resume covering the company as AIG prepares for a stock offering this spring that could top $20 billion and bring the government closer to recouping its massive investment in the insurer.
To sell as much as $66 billion in shares, or a 92.1% stake currently held by the Treasury Department over the next two years, AIG will have to get a wide range of investors, including many large mutual funds, to buy its shares.
Separately, AIA, of which AIG is now a one-third owner, released its first set of results as a public company, reporting a a 54% jump in net earnings to $2.7 billion for the full year 2010.

A note regarding the grade, there are 2 ways of climbing this route either 5.12+/C2 or 5.11/A1. A must do classic for the big wall connoisseur and definitely the largest completed project in the Eldred. Wow. Four seasons of work produced this very rad, twenty-three pitch, free climbing extravaganza. Hard but well protected climbing takes you up and through the overhangs of the scoop. Redpointed with one aid pitch on �easy 5.13 terrain� and one pre-placed bivy. Awesome.

There were no highlights in the Phillies game on Monday night. They managed just six hits and couldn't plate a single run. Pretty ugly loss to the Marlins.
But the pregame festivities honoring Jimmy Rollins becoming the Phillies All-Time hits leader? That had some highlights.
Anytime you put Pat Burrell on the field -- in a purple polo shirt under a Phillies jersey -- alongside Bobby Abreu -- a current member of the New York Mets... wearing a PHILLIES JERSEY -- it's a pretty good day.
Rollins was honored by many of his former teammates but also received a silver bat from Chase Utley and Ryan Howard.
J-Roll also received a free trip to Italy courtesy of the Phillies organization. Pretty nice pull.
A number of local and national celebrities recorded a video congratulating Rollins. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett was apparently booed by the Citizens Bank Park faithful. Derek Jeter showed up. Perhaps the most interesting was Rickey Henderson, J-Roll's idol as a kid. Others making an appearance included the Roots, Charles Barkley, some people from the Today Show, Shady McCoy, and Nick Foles.
Jimmy also took the time to thank the fans of Philadelphia:

Mullion pupils hit the slopes: PICTURES
8:00am Sunday 16th March 2014 in News
Mullion School pupils chilled out during half-term, on a skiing trip to the Austrian Alps.
A mixed group of skiers and snowboarders enjoyed the Tyrollean resort of Hochoetz, on a 2,000-mile round trip.
The trip's leader, and performing arts teacher, Ben Merritt said: "It was a massive success. The experienced skiers and snowboarders knew what they were in for, but I was so impressed by the way our beginners rose to the challenge.
"To learn a new skill you always experience periods of failure and doubt, and when you add the fear factor into the equation, 7,000ft up in the mountains, it makes the final achievement even more special.
They all overcame their anxieties and by the end of the week were flowing around the resort and savouring the regular fresh dumps of snow. Our snowboarders were incredible in the deep powder."
The school stayed in a traditional Austrian family-run hotel and used the local Skischule Mali for instruction.
The ski school organised a dramatic race on the penultimate morning that gave the youngsters a test of whether their techniques would hold up under pressure. Winner of the beginners' ski race was Lili Flockhart, and the beginners' snowboard race winner was Ben Johns. In the giant slalom ski race Greg Bird took gold, Imojen Penry silver and Alice Bowman bronze. Nic Strike won the snowboard elite race.
Mr Merritt added: "Mullion School expects students to be its ambassadors whenever they travel and they once more impressed, as they were declared the top group of the season by ski instructor Larry, an English born but much travelled member of the Skischule Mali team."

New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano is placing his faith in a higher power that his team will make the postseason, reports David Lennon of Newsday.
Cano talked about his team's post-season chances with Lennon, telling the reporter "We will (make the playoffs). I think God has a plan for Mo."
Long-time Yankees closer Mariano Rivera is in his final season with the club. Rivera has only missed the postseason twice since joining the team in 1995: 2008 and 2012, when Rivera was injured.
Cano and Rivera have both done their part to keep the Yankees in the playoff hunt. Cano is batting .310/.383/.516 with 27 homers and 107 RBI, while Rivera has 2.30 ERA over 60 appearances this season, recording 43 saves.
The Yankees have battled numerous injury issues this season, but enter Monday with a 79-71 record, three games behind the Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers in the AL Wild Card race. The team has an off-day Monday before starting a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre.

In the Bible it speaks of Giants,this is true. But, were are there clippings of real newspaper or real photos of these skeletons?
Gghost April 21, 2011 8:11:28 AM CEST
correction! Anunnaki is a Sumerian word means those who came from above they referred to the space man or Gods not fallen angels i think fallen angels created hell most famous named Lucifer for many people this is hell for sure and those UFO's where fake too

I'm happy to see my video is being shown to others by people other than myself, so as to reach out to as many as possible. That stated however, if you would be so kind as to state that this video was created by me (Andros Enigma), I'd be ever so thankful. It takes a lot of time and effort to make these videos, for you it's very simple to copy my video and upload it without effort. Please give me credit for my video of that which you have uploaded without my given permission. I bid you peace!

The skeletons of the giants was just too cool.
Malachi December 23, 2007 6:04:22 AM CET
Well at least you're sort of on the right track. A couple of corrections for your understanding, however. The nephilim aren't the "fallen ones". It translates more to those who cause others to fall.

The playwrights did it.
The theater darkens. Ominous, deep, suspenseful music oozes around us. Shadows rise. A hooded figure attacks. Bowie Community Theater's latest, Dark Passages, begins.
A good whodunit requires tight writing, staging and pacing, all to keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
In this modern take on the murder suspense mystery, the cast works hard to rise above a script that gives us little more than we've already seen in movies, plays and episodes of Castle.
Playwrights Shannon Michael Dow, Jan Henson Dow and Robert Schroeder have put together a script that is sometimes funny, sometimes involving. But its constant and obvious efforts to keep us guessing about whodunit ironically sap the play of the suspense that ought to be at its core.
Are we on the edge of our seats? No. Are we curious? Yes, about whodunit of course, but also about why a script set in the present day of voice mail and texts relies on an early-1990s' era cassette tape telephone answering machine as a plot point. Or why the choice was made to hang a working clock on the wall to remind us of the real time — around 8:30pm, for example, when the program tells us the scene we're watching is set on "a weekday afternoon."
Quibbles aside, Bowie Community Theater's production provides us an entertaining evening, with some compelling characters and some clever, two-level staging that allows the action to flow effectively.
Set in an upstate New York college town, the mystery begins when several young women go missing. We are introduced to Sandy (Chrisshall Daniel), a graduate assistant to professor Mark (Pat Reynolds). Sandy is first to be taken away, in the dark of her apartment by a black-hooded intruder. Mark's girlfriend Bret (Amanda Magoffin) moves into the vacated apartment run by creepy landlord Harold (Scott Beadle). Across the hall is neighbor Eric (Matt Leyendecker), whose loud banging is explained away as him working on his art, though the box he moves it in is roughly the size of a coffin.
We also meet oversexed Gillian (Lenora Spahn), a friend of Bret's just back from Europe and looking at males like a dog in heat. Will she be next? Will Bret? Detective Russell (James McDaniel) is there to investigate. Or is he?
Meanwhile, Bret and Mark are having their problems. It turns out the professor was having an affair with the missing Sandy. Eric rejects Gillian's advances. More ominous music, another attack … another woman goes missing. The plot turns again.
Whodunit is revealed at the end, of course, after several more twists. The likeable cast has turned in a solid performance. We rise, not from the edge of our seats but from deep within, that ominous music serenading us as we exit, wondering how this talented group might have fared with a script that asks more of them and us.
Playing thru March 16. FSa 8pm, Su 2pm at White Marsh Playhouse, Bowie. $20 w/discounts; rsvp: 301-805-0219; www.bctheatre.com.
2nd Star Productions casts dynamite in this explosive production
2nd Star Productions grew up on musicals and comedy. Now 18 years old, the company has matured. You'll see the change — and you'll want to, I promise you — in 2nd Star's first production in a new playhouse.
A Soldier's Play, at the Charis Center for the Arts, is serious drama arising from social discord. It's the kind of significant show you'd expect from Dignity Players, the Annapolis social justice-focused company about to go dormant. Rated R for mature audiences, Charles Fuller's 1982 Pulitzer Prize winner is historical fiction rooted in racial tension and mystery. 2nd Star brings a dynamite cast of fresh talent to its production.
The time is 1944. The setting is a segregated army base in Louisiana, where 90 percent of the soldiers are black enlisted men warehoused away from combat. One of the black soldiers has been murdered. Circumstances are puzzling. The story follows the investigation of his death.
Sgt. Waters (Cristopher M. Dinwiddie), was admired for his high standards and impeccable record — and resented for his inflexibility. When his body is found in the woods, his commanding officer, Capt. Taylor (Dan Kavanaugh), refuses to accept the obvious explanation of a Klan attack. He demands a full investigation. But when black lawyer Capt. Davenport (Kevin Sockwell) is assigned to the case, Taylor worries that Davenport's color will stand in the way of his investigation. In fact, Davenport's race and conviction make him just the man to navigate the ins and outs of the black enlisted men's barracks and the white officer corps. What follows is a series of testimonies, related in flashbacks, illustrating the sergeant's mercurial temperament, racial self-loathing and self-important authority over a company of elite baseball players.
Among Sgt. Waters' soldiers are Pvt. Wilkie (Benny Pope), a former sergeant demoted for being drunk on duty; Pvt. Smalls (Antoine Bragg), a surly malcontent; Pvt. Henson (Daley Fitzgerald Gunter), a hunky ladies' man and dispassionate observer of barracks' politics; PFC Peterson (Reginald Grier), the quiet one; Pvt. C.J. Memphis (Ramone Williams), a gifted blues musician and gentle soul from the South; and Cpl. Cobb (David E. Johnson Jr.), C.J.'s best friend. Cpl. Ellis (Frederick Henderson) is the sergeant's eager right-hand man. Two bigoted white officers, Lt. Byrd (Lawrence Griffin) and Capt. Wilcox (Ethan Goldberg), are dragged into the investigation as the last to see Sgt. Waters alive. Davenport considers the whole crew to have motives and means for the murder.
In this vast and youthful cast, only the three white actors — Kavanaugh, Griffin and Goldberg — are familiar to Anne Arundel audiences. The rest, a remarkably talented and fit group justly cast as athletes, make the barracks hum with palpable camaraderie. All were recruited by the show's producer, Cheramie Jackson. Dinwiddie stuns as Sgt. Waters, a role he played for Prince George's Hard Bargain Players, and Johnson's soulful melodies haunt long after curtain.
New faces and content aren't the only surprises consequent on 2nd Star's accommodation of the new three-show scheduling restriction imposed by its long-time home, Bowie Playhouse, to accommodate a fourth residential company.
Long acclaimed for ornate sets, 2nd Star now offers a minimalist set of black platforms without special effects in the Charis Center's primitive accommodations. It doesn't matter, given the energy onstage.
You'll be on edge the full two hours.
The donuts are all that's missing in this theatrical treat
Welcome to Superior Donuts in Uptown Chicago, established by the Przybyszewski family c. 1950 and static ever since. You know the place: checkerboard floor, lettered window, illuminated menu board, vintage register. All that's missing in Colonial Players' set is the sweet aroma and some napkins for the dispensers.
Arthur (Terry Averill), the aged hippie who owns the place, hasn't had his heart in it lately. What with his ex's death, his daughter's estrangement and the new Starbucks across the street, he's more in touch with past failures than present possibilities.
Still, he has his regulars: namely officers James Bailey (Chris Haley) and Randy Osteen (Shirley Panek), who has a crush on Arthur; and Lady Boyle (Mary McLeod), his homeless friend and confidante. When vandalism pushes Arthur to the brink, Max Tarasov (Rick Estberg), the Russian immigrant who owns the DVD store next door, offers to buy the place.
Then Franco Wicks (Darius McCall) hires on and lobbies for healthier menu options, poetry readings and profit sharing. Arthur isn't so sure about Franco's ideas, but he feels kinship with the gifted writer who's put school on hold to pay off debts — gambling debts, as it turns out. Enter Luther Flynn (Mike Fox), a loan shark and exploiter, and his enforcer Kevin Magee (Gerald Inglesby).
While Superior Donuts is funnier and lighter than Tracy Letts' typical work (August: Osage County), it nevertheless contains mature themes, language and violence. A story for modern times, about community as a substitute for family, it teeters between chill and chilling. Arthur's story lulls us with introspective calm through snippets of conversation in his foggy present and lucid soliloquies about his past — until reality breaks the hush, demanding he take a stand against the thugs who strong-arm his new friend.
This is a smart show, well staged and well acted. Every actor surpasses the character sketch. Averill is every inch the 1960s' holdout, deceptively sly and capable under his rumpled appearance. McCall delights with his youthful enthusiasm and mastery of a role he learned in only three weeks. Estberg is flashy and hilarious with his authentic Russian accent and butchered English, bringing a depth of conviction to the comical immigrant who nevertheless commands respect. McLeod wears her duct-taped tiara with dignity. Haley and Panek eclipse their cop personas with genuine personalities. The Mafiosi radiate menace, and Ben Carr captivates in the tiny cameo of the monosyllabic Russian giant Kiril Ivakin.
The show is technically strong as well, with a soundtrack of ambient street noises timed to swell each time the door opens and lighting details that evoke a commercial failure. The costumes speak volumes about their characters, from Lady's plastic-bag boots to Arthur's tie-died T-shirt.
My only reservation is the credibility of casting Terry Averill as the main character. Averill is an outstanding actor, but his frail build belies the Pillsbury doughboy image of the aged baker. Add to that his climactic fight scene with hulking Fox (Luther) and the play touches on theater of the absurd. It's like watching Tony Soprano and Woody Allen in a knock-down drag-out.
Suspend your disbelief in that incongruity, and you'll see a winner at every level, including insight into urban development, racial tension and the fragmentation of the family.
Playing thru March 8 ThFSa 8pm, Su 2pm (also 7:30pm Feb. 23) at Colonial Players Theater, Annapolis. $20w/discounts; rsvp: 410-268-7373; www.thecolonialplayers.org.
Two hours of anarchic cacophony and classic pop guaranteed to prolong the craziness of your week
2nd Star Productions does a lot right in staging Funny Money by Britain's master of farce Ray Cooney. The pace of the frenetic comedy never drags. Actors are superb and spot-on in accents. Director Fred Nelson uses the stage for maximum clarity in this Gordian knot of accidents and lies. Jane B. Wingard's set and Linda Swann's costumes feel right. The problem is, it's a farce. Or maybe that's just me.
If your thirst for confusion borders on the masochistic, if you relish sexual innuendo, if you appreciate blubbering drunks and screaming matches, if you're either hearing impaired or wish to be, then this is the show for you. Just don't expect the Americanized Chevy Chase film version.
How many one-dimensional characters and compromising situations does it take to make a British farce? The more the merrier.
Decorous accountant Henry Perkins (Gene Valendo) accidentally swaps briefcases with a criminal. Finding himself a trillionaire, he plans to abscond with the money — only to be thwarted at every turn. Darling but boring wife, Jean (Mary Wakefield) crashes from teetotaler to drunk the moment he tells her to pack. Crooked Inspector Davenport (Michael N. Dunlop) observes Henry's giddy trips to the pub loo where he counts the money, follows him home on suspicion of solicitation and is shuttled off to the dining room to ponder a lie while he awaits his bribe. Bill the Taxi Driver (Zak Zeeks) arrives early with the airport shuttle only to be repeatedly sent to the curb to ponder more lies while he awaits his fare.
Plainspoken Detective Sgt. Slater (Robert Eversberg) reports from the morgue that Mr. Perkins was found murdered, clutching a briefcase containing papers and a cheese and chutney sandwich. Thus, a family member must identify the body, but not until Sgt. Slater is shuttled off to the kitchen to ponder more lies while he makes tea for the grieving widow. Dinner guests Vic and Betty (John Wakefield and Samantha Feikema) take sides in the Perkins' domestic dispute, culminating in a wife-swapping plan; Betty longs to travel and Jean refuses to leave, but Vic is a good sport and even gets himself embroiled in the deception. And then there is Mr. Big (Ronald Araújo), a drug lord who keeps calling for his burfcrse until Bill the Taxi Driver blithely gives him the address.
Where's Sherlock Holmes when you need him? How could two detectives in adjoining rooms hear hysterics without suspecting something? How does every compromising situation involve a cabal under the covers on the couch, convincing detectives it's all one big bedroom romp?
Despite the script, performances are commendable. Valendo displays priceless calm and trance-like incredulity in the midst of chaos. Zeeks is audacious and sexy. Dunlop is believable as the cop-on-the-take. And Feikema sizzles in her quest for adventure.
Funny Money is two hours of anarchic cacophony and classic pop that is guaranteed to prolong the craziness of your week and generate a few belly laughs to cheer the winter blues.
Bad Dates is a good night out
In theater terms, when an actor talks directly to the audience, it's known as breaking the fourth wall. When Janet Luby does it in Bay Theatre Company's latest, she's not so much breaking a wall as she is opening a door. Through that door we join her as she shares her life, her attempts at love and a lot of laughs.
Bad Dates is a one-woman show written by playwright, screenwriter and novelist Theresa Rebeck about Haley Walker, a 40-something single mom and restaurant manager in New York who is jumping back into the dating pool. Her first love, besides her unseen 13-year-old daughter Vera, seems to be shoes, as the four closets filled with them in the nicely rendered set attest. Keeping up a constant chatter as she models several pairs and several outfits, Luby engages us stream-of-consciousness about Haley's failed marriage, her job, her daughter, her shoes and her frustrating, funny and sometimes heartbreaking dates.
Luby has a knack for this type of theater, having been so effective a couple of years ago in Becky's New Car as the bored and tempted wife who seeks understanding from the audience. Her charm, timing and physicality keep things moving through the 90-minute performance (plus a 15-minute intermission), even rising above the script's brief but uncharacteristic dip into the maudlin after a particularly promising beau proves a no-show. Luby is such a strong actress that we also get evocative and quite funny caricatures of the other people who inhabit her life, from the gay law professor to the bug guy to the Romanian Mafioso who owns her restaurant. A one-woman show, yes, with so many personalities.
As director Richard Pilcher puts it in his program notes, Bad Dates is not a chick play. It's funny, it rings true and it certainly comes from a woman's point of view. But in Luby's capable hands, it's a story that both sexes will enjoy. If my car is any indication, it will also generate quite the drive-home conversation.
Is the theft of your story a crime?
In Dignity Players' long list of morality plays, Collected Stories is the crowning achievement. When a writing student mines her teacher's private life for material, artistic license crosses the line from inspiration to confiscation. So says acclaimed author Ruth Steiner (played by Carol Cohen) of the transgression of heretofore-beloved student Lisa Morrison (Sarah Wade). Lisa claims she did only what her mentor taught her.
Seasoned director Lois Evans' leadership of a tiny stellar cast through a rich Donald Margulies script could earn this show the kind of recognition Colonial Players enjoyed in 2013: a Ruby Griffith Award for Margulies' Shipwrecked!
In the provocative ethical drama at hand, the intellectual professor Steiner has everything and nothing. Having forsaken marriage and children for a succession of young writers she adopts as secretaries/interns, she enjoys literary celebrity, a Bohemian Greenwich Village apartment and bittersweet memories of an affair 40 years earlier with one of the 20th century's greatest poets, the middle-aged alcoholic Delmore Schwartz. She doesn't like to talk about that. "Talking takes away the need to write," she says, though she never does this writing.
Lisa is a sycophantic graduate student: a bulimic WASP from a broken home who dreams of living Ruth's life. Four years under Ruth's tutelage transform her into a literary success with a short story collection of thinly veiled autobiographical tales. Then she panics. She fears she needs a novel to cement her reputation, but a writer writes what she knows and she's written it all. So she quietly co-opts Ruth's unwritten love story, shattering the friendship with her surrogate mum.
In a play where image tells half the story, Cohen and Wade, aided by Jeannie Christie's costumes, are transformed in a stunning role reversal: Cohen from mature role model to has-been frump and Wade from babbling bumbler to young sophisticate. I cannot imagine any two local actresses who could play Ruth and Lisa better.
The only disappointments in this production are technical. The many long scene changes break the mood as audience conversation crescendos and time stretches to smoking-break lengths. On opening night, there was also an issue with crackly static in the absence of other sound effects. Both issues, though, can and should be resolved with experience, and neither negates the power of these performances. As added incentive, Dignity hosts poet Merrill Leffler of Dryad Press in a post-show discussion of authorial inspiration and ethics following the January 26 matinee.
If all writers are rummagers, whose stories are safe?
Come decide for yourself.
Don't miss this gem of the American stage
Thomas Wolfe famously said, "You can't go home again." A decade before coining that phrase, he showed us why in his 1929 debut novel Look Homeward Angel. This thinly veiled memoir of a tumultuous youth in his mother's Dixieland Boardinghouse made him a pariah in his hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, and a literary star to the rest of the nation. The 1958 stage adaptation by Ketti Frings won every major prize for American drama that year, and it still rings true and relevant.
Compass Rose Theater's beautiful production stars a talented University of Maryland grad, Shane O'Loughlin, in the lead role of Eugene Gant. A bookish young man, he yearns for education and escape from his overbearing mother, Eliza (artistic director Lucinda Merry-Browne), and his romantic but alcoholic father, W.O. Gant (Gary Goodson) Bret Jaspers costars as elder brother Ben, the cynical voice of experience who urges Eugene to flee. Who can blame them? Life with Eliza, the self-proclaimed "sharpest trader in town," is no tea party. In a perpetual quest for cash, she puts the comfort of strangers above the needs of her own family, whom she manipulates into doing her bidding.
Dapper Ben isn't healthy enough to escape to World War I, as did his brother Luke (Chris Creane). So he helps in Father's monument shop and passes the evenings at dingy Dixieland with a sympathetic older boarder named Fatty (Janise Whelan). Big sister Helen (Kathryn Zoerb) and her husband Hugh (Dan Reno) are likewise caught in Eliza's clutches as near servants. The other boarders are Uncle Will (Ed Klein); old Mrs. Clatt (Nancy Long); her son Jake (Eli Pendry); and a charming new arrival, Laura James (Lindsay Clemmons), who brings Eugene his first happiness and heartache. Dr. McGuire (Richard Fiske) is a frequent visitor to the home as well. Only the notorious Madame Elizabeth (Maura Claire Harford) never crosses the threshold, though she is on good terms with Father.
From the melee, Eugene's transformation from guileless gopher to mutineer is remarkable, culminating in a confrontation that will shake you to your weepy bones. Drawing equally on the strength of all the leads, this production gets four stars for credibility: from the sharp period fashions to the missing newels on the faded front porch to the manner of the family's explosion with love and disdain. The only unbelievable part is Eliza and Father's tantrum, which is too gentle on the set. I hope they go wild on closing night.
Come to feel, think and applaud
Many theater companies are neither willing nor able to move from a bubbly musical directly into a disturbing death-row drama based on real life. Colonial Players is the exception, following November's Annie with Coyote on a Fence.
Coyote on a Fence is what Colonial calls an "arc" show, more challenging than usual and typically appealing to a smaller arc of patrons. Opening night proved that this production is deserving of larger, not smaller, audiences.
Bruce Graham's play focuses on long-time death row inmate John Brennan, the middle-aged editor of the prison newspaper who writes obituaries of each inmate put to death. Brennan is a fervent but deluded believer in his own innocence. Most on death row say they, too, are innocent.
Except Bobby Reyburn. A late-20s, anti-Semite racist who gets the cell next to Brennan after burning down an African American church and killing 37 people, Reyburn says he was called to his work by God and was spoon-fed hate by a trusted uncle.
The interplay between Bobby, who welcomes his execution, and John, who has exhausted every legal avenue on the way to his, demands two actors who not only commit to their characters but are consistent in their interpretations even as their characters hit sharply emotional highs and lows. Thom Sinn as John and Eddie Hall as Bobby meet that demand. A lesser actor might have allowed the histrionic Bobby to become a caricature, but Hall, under the capable direction of Colonial veteran Edd Miller, never does so. He and Sinn together take the audience on a journey that makes us care about them despite their violent pasts.
Prison guard Shawna (an earthy Kecia Campbell) keeps a close eye on things. But outside the prison, she meets an unseen reporter in a series of monologues. Among her topics are how she feels safer on the inside among convicted killers than in the real world. Shawna's final monologue is a heartbreaker.
Another reporter works his way into Brennan's confidence. Nicely underplayed by Jeff Sprague, Sam Fried's condescension and conflict over the death penalty are no match for Brennan's passion.
Miller is one of the few directors who successfully uses Colonial's in-the-round space. His set design puts all the action on the floor in front of us, avoiding the annoying neck craning too often required to watch scenes in the theater's corners. The two cells abut, with an outside recreation area marked by a stark wire fence and a small area representing Shawna's bar.
Adding to the stark aura is Carl Andreasen's and Theresa Riffle's haunting sound design, a near-constant drone of background voices occasionally interrupted by the scream of an inmate or the physical shock and loud finality of a metal prison door trapping us all.
Frank Florentine's tight lighting evokes the sterility of the place, from harsh lights dimming upon an execution to the eerie green illuminating the empty cell of the newly executed.
Coyote is the 14th show Miller has directed at Colonial. His Going to St. Ives was awarded best play and best director in the coveted Washington Area Theater Community Awards in 2012. Coyote on a Fence is likely to attract the same consideration.
Warning: Save the pre-show cocktails for post. The play runs one hour and 45 minutes without an intermission.
Grunge, hip-hop and Gen Y angst color this whimsical romance where mortals meet magic
The Annapolis Shakespeare Company has shaken up the Bard to magical effect with a 1990s' setting of A Midsummer Night's Dream that is da bomb! Grunge, hip hop and Gen Y angst color this whimsical story of romance, mischief and enchantment in Fairyland, where mortals meet magic and are none the wiser for it.
Guest director Kristin Clippard, formerly of the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, has created a magical forest cloaked in fog and sparkling with frost under a pregnant moon. The walls are like birch bark strewn with carnations under a canopy of red, white and orange umbrellas backlit with twinkling lights. As the umbrella covers us in all types of weather, she explains, love can cover all our woes. And there is plenty of woe to go around.
It should be a happy time; Duke Theseus (Stephen Horst) is marrying Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons (Laurent Turchin). Guests have come from far and wide for the nuptials. There is Egeus (Nick Pinto) and his daughter Hermia (Amanda Forstrom), her friend Helena (Ashlyn Thompson) and Hermia's two suitors: her beloved Lysander (Joel DeCandio) and preppy nerd Demetrius (Ben Lauer), who spurned Helena to pursue Hermia — this at her father's behest.
Lysander and Hermia are emo soul mates destined for turbulence in the parallel universe of Fairyland. Queen Titania (Turchin) has turned frosty toward King Oberon (Horst). Thus the king dispatches his meddling assistant Puck (DePinto) to enchant Titania with a love-at-first-sight potion. Embarrassment is the point, as the queen is expected to fall in love with a creature of the forest. She does: Bottom (France Vince) is a mortal endowed by Puck with a donkey's head and tail. Watching this odd love unfold are the queen's attendants: First Fairy (Valeka Holt), Peaseblossom (Gray West), Mustardseed (Samantha Nelson), Cobweb (Nicole Mullins-Teasley) and Moth (Miranda Savage).
Meanwhile, the same potion causes both Lysander and Demetrius to pursue Helena, leaving Hermia in forlorn confusion.
Bottom is a member of an amateur theatrical troupe of tradesmen come to perform the tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe for the royal wedding. This childish play-within-a-play features Piper Quince (Holt), Francis Flute (West), Tina Snout (Nelson), Snug (Mullins-Teasley) and Robin Starvling (Savage). With West in drag as Thisbe, it makes a hilarious finale to madcap shenanigans in the forest.
This show is rife with potential for confusion both of Shakespeare's making and this production's double and triple casting. Yet it's easy to follow, swinging with ease from extremes of tenderness to slapstick. Diction and gestures, so important to a modern understanding of Shakespeare, are crisp and clear. It's energetic and creative with dancers of all shapes and ages doing cartwheels and back flips, and Puck literally climbing the walls.
Music figures large with '90s hits such as "Kiss Me" and the theme from Titanic alongside the traditional "Holly and the Ivy." Fairy costumes are mostly neon and shredded denim, a grunge look that is vivid, if not magical, with odd makeup that is likewise jarring. Is that the Mario Brothers I see among the tradesmen's denims and flannels? Whatever. It's a hoot.
There are no weak performers among this cast.
DePinto shines for his remarkable versatility not only acting but also singing and playing guitar in a delightful duet with Holt, a fine dancer and singer. Horst brings a welcome vulnerability to both his royal roles, and Turchin her trademark frostiness. Forstrom and DeCandio exude a passionate infatuation that contrasts well to Thompson and Lauer's more comic roles. Vince's donkey is a perfectly lovable ass. And Nelson as a brick wall that raps Shakespearean couplets milks a gallon of laughs from a pint of dialogue.
This Dream is two and a half hours of escapist frivolity that will win converts to Shakespeare. Alas, the senior set is likely to miss the cultural references that make this production unique.
Everybody gets into the spirit
Mayhem meets knee-slapping comedy when the Herdmans collide head-on with the Christmas story.
Barbara Robinson's Christmas alternative — it's no Christmas Carol — is a good choice for Twin Beach Players: Both have to do with a small town where everybody has a part to play in making Christmas.
The fictional small town's kids have grown weary of wearing bed sheets to play the same role and speak the same lines year after year in the annual church pageant. Boredom yields to horror when the Herdmans come to town.
The dirty half-dozen Herdman kids bully their way into the cast and hijack the pageant. With no idea what's going on — they don't even know the Christmas story — they make up a script as they go along.
As we watch, the pageant turns into a huge, hysterical mess.
Forty-six of the town of North Beach's real-life children, from preschoolers to teens, are inspired, whether as angels, shepherds or Herdmans — who've stolen the key parts of Mary, Joseph, Herod and the Wise Men.
In this community of theater, parents leave the audience to take the stage alongside their kids. Ten adults stay on-stage, enjoying their roles as avidly as the kids do.
The audience is enchanted, moved from tears to side-splitting laughter in no longer than it takes to blink.
The theater — normally a Boys and Girls Club gym — is decorated for the holidays. The young cast's singing of classic carols — including "O Little Town of Bethlehem," "Away in a Manger," "We Three Kings" and "Silent Night" — open our hearts. Recorded Christmas music continues during the short intermission.
Playing F & Sa 7pm, Su 3pm thru Dec. 15 at the North Beach Boys and Girls Club. $12 w/discounts: 410-286-1890; www.twinbeachplayers.com.

An increase in sales tax revenue will mean more laptops and IPads are headed into Baldwin county classrooms.
The "digital renaissance" is expanding to include more than 13 thousand students.
Baldwin county schools will spend four million dollars for classrooms of the future. "Our classrooms have been turned into a community of learners instead of individual students," says fourth grade teacher Katie Nettles.
The 'digital renaissance', as its called, is transforming the way teachers teach and students learn. "When they are learning on their own and discovering on their own they own it and they are not going to forget it," says Nettles.
Gulf Shores elementary students have already been using IPads and laptops over the last couple of years but starting in January elementary students throughout the system will get that same opportunity.
"The school board decided to roll out a one-to-one initiative which is Mac book one-to-one for every elementary school across Baldwin county," says school board member Angie Swiger.
That means six thousand K through second graders will receive IPads. "You give an IPad to a five year old that five year old can do more with that IPad in the first five minutes it's in their hands than an adult can do in two days," says Swiger.
More than 74 hundred third through sixth grade students will get laptops. Students are only allowed to take the devices home beginning in the fourth grade and that's where parents may see the biggest change. "It's nice to have my kids teach me instead of me harping on them about what they need to learn and doing their homework," says Jason Dyken. "They do it independently."
More parents will get to see what that feels like by the end of January.
Middle school students received their lap tops last week. The system launched it's high school program during the last school year.

As many traditional public schools struggle to close the achievement gap, Knowledge is Power Program schools seem to have the right formula for helping poverty-stricken and minority students achieve success. In this article, we examine how KIPP schools are making their students' futures much brighter.
Public schools across the nation are implementing programs that help keep young black men in school and off the streets. Boosting graduation rates, reducing gang involvement and violence, and providing positive male role models are just a few of the common elements of these programs. Yet, the achievement gap between black boys and other peer groups remains extremely wide.
As of 2014, nineteen states still allow corporal punishment – spanking and paddling the most common choices – in their public schools. However, some argue that not only are these punishments physically harmful, they also are disproportionately administered to students of color. As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.

Staff photos by Allison Potter�
Photographer Billy Cone autographs Elli Klein�s copy of �Femme� on Saturday, Jan. 25, at Big Art Gallery in Independence Mall. �Femme� features portraits of women paired with quotes.
Fans, friends and visitors shook hands with photographer Billy Cone as they waited for their signed copy of �Femme� � a book filled with powerful and emotional portraits of women � during a Jan. 25 book signing.
Cone, 53, has been shooting pictures since 1982 when he developed an interest after taking darkroom photography classes at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. �
�I loved my photo class,� Cone said before the book signing at Independence Mall. �I spent more time and effort in the class. I just loved it.�
In 2002, while in Paris, Cone started two projects: one involved taking pictures of statuaries in Paris and the other was �Femme,� which involved photographing women�s portraits.
�After living in Paris for a total of five years, maybe it sunk in that people, including me, appreciate the feminine form more than the masculine form,� Cone said. �I think women are beautiful. It�s not just physical; it�s something that emanates from them. There�s openness, there�s a sense of being [freer] with their emotions and feelings.�
The Saturday book-signing event was held at Big Art Gallery, where Cone, seated at a small wooden table, explained the book�s aim.�
Cone said the portraits in �Femme� are powerful images that evoke various feelings within the reader.�
�It�s a mirror of humanity � a little inkling of what we are,� Cone said. �They express different emotions. In a close-up, you concentrate on what�s important and everything else fades out.�
Many of the women Cone photographed for his book were normal women with no modeling history.
�I was looking for raw innocence,� Cone said. �Models are trying to give you want you want and I wanted them to be what they were.�
During the event, Wilmington resident Bruce Koch, 72, purchased two signed books.
�I�m a fan of his books from way back then,� Koch said.
In �Femme,� many of the portraits include quotes from notable figures such as Emily Dickinson and Albert Einstein.�
�It gives some impact by pairing it with famous quotes,� Cone said. �I love pictures and I love books that speak to me in pictures. � I like to be brief with the text.�
Rurik P. van Schoonhoven van Beurden, Ph.D, a colleague of Cone and book-signing attendee, said that Cone�s pictures accurately reflect thoughts and emotions.�
�Pictures are always an honest expression. You can never change an expression that is on a picture,� van Beurden said.

Better off Deaderick - 0 Comments
FOXBORO - Brandon Deaderick was the 247th player selected in this year's NFL draft. Deaderick didn't see any action in the first three games of the season, which is the norm for seventh-round picks.
But when the Patriots defense took the field against the Ravens last Sunday, Deaderick was one of the 11 starters. In a reconfigured defensive front, Deaderick started at left end, with Gerard Warren at nose tackle and Vince Wilfork moving to right end.

HIALEAH, Fla. (WSVN) -- A SWAT unit descended on a South Florida neighborhood late Sunday night in response to a domestic situation that, officials said, involved a person barricaded inside a home.
Police cruisers and fire trucks filled the 600 block of East 63rd Street in Hialeah, Sunday night, and remained on scene well into Monday morning. A SWAT negotiator was reportedly attempting to communicate in Spanish with the person believed to be inside the home.
When it was all over Monday morning, investigators learned that they were dealing with a domestic murder-suicide. Two bodies were found inside the home Monday morning.
Sebastian Acosta told 7 News that his great niece, Rossana Sabater, a 32-year-old mother of three, was murdered inside the house. Acosta said police told his family that she was stabbed to death by her boyfriend Julian Ovalle. "He killed her with a knife," he said while pointing to his throat. Sebater and Ovalle were together for nine years. The couple's two small children were home at the time along with the victim's 15-year-old daughter.
All of the children were unharmed and are now with family members. Acosta said that the enraged boyfriend told the children to wait outside before he murdered his girlfriend. "He slit his throat," added Acosta.
Neighbors said that the SWAT team and authorities worked for hours to convince the barricaded subject to come outside. "They broke all the windows out, and there was a big explosion and whatever," said one neighbor.
According to authorities, when they first arrived, it appeared that there may have been a fire inside the home. Area residents said they could see smoke billowing from the residence. "Yeah, there was smoke, but I mean, I don't know where it was coming from or how it happened," said Ingrid Figueredo, a woman who lives nearby. "We just saw it. It was in the air, and the smell, but we don't know anything else."
Neighbors and family members became more tense as the night dragged on. The situation intensified when the victim's 15-year-old daughter ran with her two younger siblings down the street to get help from neighbors. The younger children were not told that their parents were dead.
Firefighters put out the fire that was set in the home, but police have not released any more details surrounding this incident. Investigators remain on scene.

The restaurant may be good. It may be open. But the issue is who's in the kitchen. Even chefs like a day off. The more expensive hotels probably have a good dining room open. I'm thinking of Checkers, Belvedere, Diaghilev.

Alvin Gentry: 'It's practically brand new'
With so many new additions to his team, Suns head Coach Alvin Gentry said he just needs to figure out his starting five and what role each player will have in the upcoming season.
"We're just going to take a look at see how players fit together," said Gentry. "We had a pretty good gauge in the past about who played well with who and the matchups and the rotations. But, with this group right here it's practically brand new. So we'll take a look at it and try to make judgment call after the [first preseason] game."
With the season opener only a few weeks away, expect Gentry to experiment with different rotations during the preseason.
"One of the things we have to figure out is the combinations of guys that play well together," said Gentry. "So, you'll see different combinations of guys maybe even different guys to start the second half."
With so many new players taking the court, Gentry said certain players will get extended minutes to give them a chance to get used to one another on the court.
"I want guys out there long enough so they can get a feel," he said. "I don't want a guy to feel the pressure of making a couple mistakes and then being taken out. We'll give guys some extended minutes. Most of the guys that go in are going to play seven or eight minutes straight so they can at least get a feel of the game."
Even with just five players returning from last season, Gentry said he has been pleased with the amount of progress his team has made in getting a feel for their new teammates on the court.
"Where guys like the balls, the cuts and passes that you can receive from people, that's what they've got to learn from each other," Gentry said. "I think they're all good guys. They genuinely like each other. Usually when that's the case, the chemistry comes together pretty easily."
