Ice Theatre of New York
ICE: Dance
October 4, 2013
Weber County Ice Sheet
Ice Theatre of New York presents the stunning show ICE:DANCE with 14 of the World's top skating stars including US Men's Champion Ryan Bradley, 7-time British Dance Champion John Kerr, World Team Members Kim Navarro, Eve Chalom and Brent Bommentre and more, skating a program dedicated to elevate the art of Ensemble Ice Dance. The evening will feature a preview of a new work by Legendary Star of the ballet World, Edward Villella, titled "Reveries," along with a new piece by ITNY Artistic Director, Douglas Webster called "Roots." Ice Theatre of York is the Country's first not-for-profit ice dance company and continues to be at the forefront of the movement to change how the world "sees" figure skating.
About Ice Theatre of New York:
Founded in 1984 by Moira North, Ice Theatre of New York (ITNY) has changed the face of figure skating by creating works that integrate the sensibilities of contemporary dance, music and art. Through its performances in both traditional and alternative venues, ITNY presents on-ice dances that challenge the perceptions and conventional definitions of figure skating. ITNY was the first ice dance company to receive dance program funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. In addition to building and performing works of artistic merit, ITNY also reaches out to the next generation of skaters and audiences through its exemplary education, community outreach and training programs.
"Since its establishment in 1984, the Ice Theatre of New York has combined the best of ice skating, dance and theater to create cutting edge performances that represent the very best New York's creative community has to offer." - Mayor Michael Bloomberg
Vartan Gregorian, the President of The Carnegie Corporation of New York, says "Institutions like [Ice Theatre] are responsible for giving New York City the unparalleled artistic and cultural spirit that has made it the envy of the world."
This season ITNY will continue its tradition of collaborating with choreographers from both the dance and skating worlds, as well as exploring relationships with artists from theatre, music and new media disciplines. Looking ahead to the 2013-2014 season highlights will include: ITNY's 2013 Benefit Gala and Performance honoring Kurt Browning and Sonia Rodriguez -The best of ice and dance - on Friday, October 25, 2013, continued collaborations with Improv Everywhere, Juilliard Dance Program and Fashion Week, free performances as part of the City Skate Concert Series at Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park, Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx and the World Ice Arena in Queens; New Works & Young Artists Series at Riverbank State Park in Manhattan, City Ice Pavilion and World Ice Arena in Queens to serve city school children; special holiday performances at Rockefeller Center, Riverbank State Park, Bryant Park, and Chelsea Piers.

Click above for a high-res gallery of the Subaru Legacy STI S402.Subaru is taunting us again with yet another limited-edition model that we'll likely never see Stateside. The Legacy STI S402 will be limited to (appropriately) 402 units in both sedan and wagon trim, featuring the STI's turbocharged, 2.5-liter flat-four. Unlike some of the other "special" Subies, the S402 Legacy means business. To begin with, the front fenders have been widened by 20mm, the steering ratio has been reduced to 13:1 and Bilstein shocks are fitted at all four corners, along with 18-inch BBS wheels wrapped in...

Is D&D A Product of the Midwest?
"D&D's a product that always looking at the hero, and at doing good. That's very much a Midwestern "work hard and good things will happen to you" concept. If the game had started in someplace like Atlanta, it would be much more gothic in its appeal. If it had started in California, it would be more laid back. Because it started in the Midwest, the work ethic of the Midwest went along with the game design".
This sentiment is echoed in the same section of the book by Tracy Hickman and Mary Kirchoff.
So, is D&D a product of the Midwestern U.S.? Certainly it got its start there geographically, in the heart of Big Ten Country, in a period where there was much less global cultural exchange than we have today. But how much of an effect did its birthplace have on the tone and presentation of the game?
I think it would be absurd to suggest that D&D was solely a Midwestern phenomenon; clearly, the game quickly exploded into worldwide appeal. But (and this is coming from a lifelong Midwesterner, mind), I do think the Midwest left some fingerprints. Its difficult to speak in generalities, but I know the people I grew up around. There's a work ethic here that admires that steady, increased levels of success through accomplishment. There's a largely non-cynical acceptance and employment of religion. There's a cooperative idealism that hasn't quite managed to be transformed into a worn, jaded outlook. There is a less aggressive, abrasive nature than on the East Coast, yet perhaps a more focused, fussy one than the West Coast. There's a well-read population, but in more of a generalist, non-exclusionary vein. Of course, all these are generalities, but I do believe things may have been different were D&D a product of Boston, San Francisco, or New Orleans.
Had Uncle Gary been a product of the U.K. or Europe (I mean directly), I also believe the game would have been darker. We in the Midwest are further removed from the impact and geography of the landmarks of the Dark and Middle Ages; games like Warhammer Fantasy differ from D&D in terms of grittiness, black humor, and gore. It is easier for us to view these less as bloodbaths and more as fantastic vistas, even though we may know the historical facts.
How far does it go? The wintry climate encouraging indoor activities? The local library's taste in books? Likely, D&D has been influenced to be the game it is in a hundred little ways we can only guess at.
So, is D&D a product of the Midwest U.S.? Would it have been different if created in another region or country? Would it have been created at all? Fire away!

it would be interesting to take a look at the geographic origins of some other notable early games and see what conclusions we could draw.
- November 26, 2008 at 7:31 AM
- PatrickWR said...
Look at the companies that are still active in the old-school D&D community. A bunch of them, including Judges Guild and Goodman Games, are based in the Midwest. The first GenCon was held in Wisconsin; it's since moved around a bit, but the flagship show has stayed in the Midwest (Indianapolis).
A lot of my favorite RPG bloggers, the folks who still attend the small cons and run megadungeon campaigns, live in Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin. In fact, those little cons themselves -- Winter War, FlatCon, RockCon, etc. -- are still largely focused on the tone and spirit of the early D&D enthusiasm.
So yes, I think your assessment is spot-on, and this is actually something I've been thinking about for a while myself. I've lived in the Midwest my whole life, albeit in larger cities therein, and I've definitely recognized some of the tropes you've identified.
- November 26, 2008 at 8:45 AM
- stu said...
If it were created on the east or west coasts you know the primary character would be a thief rather than a fighter.
- November 26, 2008 at 8:58 AM
- Zachary The First said...
@Nick: I agree. I think we can see it somewhat with the origins of Warhammer Fantasy.
@PatrickWR: That's true, there is a pretty solid presence in the Midwest w/ related companies.
@Stu: ZING! Ouch, man! :)
- November 26, 2008 at 9:05 AM
- Mad Brew said...
I come across this idea before, and I can really buy into it. Being born and raised in Indiana, then living on both coasts as well as living and spending significant time overseas (thank you, USMC), I have experienced cultural differences first-hand.
When I was away, I always missed the atmosphere of the Midwest, where things seem to be a bit more sensible and practical. Of course, that could have just ben nostalgia and homesickness coloring my memories.
I always thought of the Midwest as the Shire of the U.S.
I agree with Nick that it would be very interesting to do an informal study that looks at the mood, theme, and mechanics of some of the major games and see if there are other geographic tendencies.
- November 26, 2008 at 9:13 AM
- sirlarkins said...
I've always thought Midwest winters and ubiquitous basement/rumpus rooms must have been key in D&D emerging where it did.
Also, I think the implied geography of D&D--small farming settlements separated by wide swaths of open wilderness--has a very Midwestern feel.
Stu: I agree with you on thieves and East coast origins, but I think magic-users would've been the primary class for a West coast origin. Think about it.
(And, of course, if D&D had come from the South, we'd have clerics as the primary class. :P)

We in the Midwest are further removed from the impact and geography of the landmarks of the Dark and Middle Ages; games like Warhammer Fantasy differ from D&D in terms of grittiness, black humor, and gore."
I wonder whether one has to go so far back as the Middle Ages -- after all, a 20 year old English gamer in 1979 could very easily have grown up with parents who lived through the Blitz. Perhaps some of the darkness of the European scene owes something to the historically recent battles fought on their own soil? Isn't the whole WH40K milieu sort of a Worlds War setting?
Mind you, just the speculation of another US midwesterner. Any gamers from UK or the Continent who'd care to weigh in?
- November 26, 2008 at 11:08 AM
- Zachary The First said...
In terms of 40k, that's a very real possibility. But I'd love to hear from some of our friends across the pond on this--as well as those from other regions of the U.S.!
There sure are a lot of us Midwesterners! :)
- November 26, 2008 at 11:35 AM
- Nick said...
Well, I'm an east coaster, and I wonder if my personal dissatisfaction with D&D could be related to my upbringing. The game's assumed religious outlook, rural setting, and survival emphasis have always grated on me, but I have no idea if those elements bother me for personal reasons or have something to do with where I'm from.
- November 26, 2008 at 11:38 AM
- Zachary The First said...
And that might be the conundrum, Nick--where our region/environment ends and we begin, and how each influences the other. :)
Excellent thoughts, guys. I appreciate the conversation on this.
- November 26, 2008 at 12:16 PM
I think that the Midwest was a big influence on D&D. But other regions had their RPGs as well such as Runequest in California and Tunnels and Trolls in Arizona. I would argue that these games have something to do with their regions. And then you have Greyhawk which is essence an epic Midwest. In the same vein the Forgotten Realms is basically an epic Canada.
- November 26, 2008 at 12:28 PM
- Max said...
Another thought: Arduin seems like a pretty California interpretation of D&D. There's even a bit about light sabers in Skull Tower...
- November 26, 2008 at 12:29 PM
- Zachary The First said...
ligedog: I do think the Realms and Greyhawk definitely have some regional fingerprints, especially the Realms. I saw Greyhawk as a fantasy U.S., but definitely one with a Midwestern eye and tone towards things...
Max: Was Dave Hargrove from Cali? Hmm...
- November 26, 2008 at 12:59 PM
- Max said...
Actually, Zach, a short search doesn't turn up much biographical info prior to his military service in Vietnam (a combat cinematographer, how 'bout that?). But the Grimoires were published in CA, and Dave's buried at Golden Gate, so there's a strong Cali connection.
- November 26, 2008 at 1:22 PM
I agree with Nick and Mad Brew--it'd be cool to see someone examine the regional origins of some different games and see what (if any) conclusions can be drawn.
- November 26, 2008 at 2:57 PM
- Nick said...
What about the origins of games like Vampire and Gurps? Obviously, these games came much later, but distinctions may be easier to draw with these very diferent games.
- November 26, 2008 at 3:06 PM
White Wolf is out of Georgia, right? Very clearly a dark, Gothic game--like Savannah on paper. :)
- November 26, 2008 at 3:18 PM
- Jeff Rients said...
For a while now I've suspected that the long, cold winters in Wisconsin and Minnesota are prime factors in the early development of the hobby. But I've no evidence to back that up.
- November 26, 2008 at 8:19 PM
- Leo Richard Comerford said...
Ron Edwards said something in close agreement in his "More Fantasy Heartbreakers":
Deathstalkers, from Cutter's Guild, is simultaneously the most deconstructive and most preservative game I've ever seen, relative to the oldest-of-schools D&D play, in detail after detail. It's almost impossible to summarize them: castings, ingredients, hit points, levels, alignments, etc, are all hard-core D&D belt (Madison to Springfield) dungeon crawl. The game is the very essence of midwestern U.S. D&D style gaming and should probably be studied in detail by anyone interested in the history of the hobby - it distils out nearly every strategic element from the old-school texts and places them into prominent, character-mortality-challenging center stage.
- November 27, 2008 at 6:46 AM
- Zachary The First said...
"D&D Belt?"
Interesting term...
- November 27, 2008 at 8:36 AM
Great article. I had thought about it myself, and it's good to know I'm not alone.
As a European, I think I know why our games tend to be darker. The Middle Ages were part of our history so we study it and we can't afford to entertain romantic ideas about it. It would be odd.
I am certain that you wouldn't accept a roleplaying game that dealt with the Far West in the same vein as D&D deals with the Middle Ages.
On the other hand, we both clearly have a very luminous idea on the Middles Ages in Japan. I would like to know if games as 'The Legends of the Five Rings' are played in Japan.

Allow me to correct myself:
Surely you would be able to play an 'innocent' game about the Far West, as we Europeans can play D&D. I didn't mean otherwise.
The conclusion is that perhaps we are less likely to produce a naive game about something we know well.

Thank you for your reply. I would like to know if there is now a head stone at William's grave? I asked several times and have had no good answer. I was up to see several years ago. I live in Fl. Greenwood is so huge it took my friend and I an hour to find the area where it should be but found no marker. Driving in NY was a real adventure for me and I am afraid I will not do it again now that I am 73. When I discovered that William F Scott Jr. was my 2nd. G-grandfather I was so proud. His father in law also served and died and is in Washington DC at at the US Soldiers and Airmen's National Cemetery. So this is a little background on why I keep following up on this. I would love to see a photo of a stone for William.

Are you related to William? He was my 2nd. G-Grandfather on my father's side. You have duplicated a memorial I posted in 2009 #40628047 I had on him. You do elaborate a little more about him than I did. You have one fact incorrect. He died in New York and is buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn NY. If you are related I hope you have some information on his parents. He is one of my brick walls.
Thanks, Irene

Hello Elsie,
(Find A Grave Memorial# 12872738)
I know you placed the Chiappa page up a while ago. I was wondering if you had any other information about Peter. My G-G-Grandfather (somewhere in that timeline) moved here from Italy, reports conflict as to which specific location. I was told that when his family moved here, they dropped the first "a" to have a new start.
I am curious if Peter had any brothers or sisters that you know of.
Thanks for any kind of info.

text: Yoga can be quite difficult for the beginner seeking to become an experienced yogi, but once the basics are mastered and the body gets used to being in folded and twisted positions, one can gain several benefits from the exercise including an enhancement in sexual performance. Working out daily helps to increase libido by releasing endorphins into the blood stream and by balancing hormones necessary for striking up sexual desire and prompting reproduction, and yoga has these same capabilities and more. Focused breathing is one of the key components of yoga that allow those participating to remain in focused concentration when in difficult positions and this same type of breathing is needed during sex. Breathing into a stretch to bring oxygen to the muscles allows a participant to feel the stretch more deeply, and this same type of deeply feeling can be brought into sex with focused and concentrated breathing. One of the main issues women have during sex is reaching orgasm, and improper breathing and "living in the head" are major contributors to the inability to reach the big O. By focusing on the breath and concentrating on sending the energy of that breath down to the pelvis and into the genitals will help to awaken the clitoris in a major way. Beyond the latter benefits of yoga, certain positions provide enhancing benefits to sexual performance beyond increasing flexibility...Read More

This rug is amazing! Beautiful and high quality...I waited a long time to get it, and I am so thrilled that it's mine. RugsUSA.com is the best!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I ordered the coral rug. On line it looked raspberry but when it arrived, it was more red/orange....definitely not what I was expecting. It's a nice rug but the color on the screen was not the true cololr.RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Great Rug! I purchased the color colorway and it is definately coral, however the lighter part is more natural/beige since this is a dhurie rug which was expected. I still love it though. Quality seems excellent and I would order from this company again.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Order arrived quickly and packaged well. The coral is darker than expected but still looks nice. No pulls or stains - great qualityRECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
The product took about 2 months to come in. Thank goodness I ordered well in advance before the Holidays. I heard through other people that the colors are very different on the screen then in person, so I ordered one with neutral colors. The rug is great and I love it. Its a flat weave and I got it for a reasonable price that I could afford.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
If you are ok with a flat weave rug, this one is even more striking in person. I love it.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

REPORT: Volvo plans XC30 CUV to join V30 wagon and C30 hatch
by John Neff (RSS feed) on Dec 27th, 2007 at 3:24PM
We recently got confirmation from a Volvo PR person that the Swedish automaker's new C30 hatchback will soon be joined by a V30 five-door wagon. Just-Auto.com is going one step further by reporting that Volvo will also add a new XC CUV model to its lineup based on the C30 hatch to be called, not unsurprisingly, the XC30. Presumably it will also be a five-door model with all-wheel-drive that's jacked up off the ground a bit. The burgeoning of Volvo's 30 series of cars will come at the expense of the S40 sedan, which will be merged with the larger S60 eventually creating a common mid-size sedan... Read More

We can all use a little more storage space, and that's exactly what our Small Utility Bag is made for. Whether you need storage for specific items at home or some extra space when you're traveling, this bag can get it done. Made from top quality leather, this Small Utility Bag is ideal for things like computer or phone chargers, toiletries, and other small accessories that we all need on a daily basis. We include a mesh pocket on the inside for safely holding small things like USB drives and keys. On top is a zipper closure to keep everything securely inside and a carrying handle on the side makes it easy to take with you wherever you go. Simple and compact, our Small Utility Bag will give you that extra storage space you've been looking for.
Our Vero collection is drum dyed, aniline, buttery soft Nappa leather. This classic Italian leather makes it a great choice for pairing with other leather items, as its natural look can blend with almost anything. Vero is our most popular collection and works well as a stylish luxury accessory for yourself or a gift for a friend.
I needed a small bag to fit inside my carry-on and this was it. It is perfect to hold an electric razor and cord plus some other small toiletries. The quality is amazing (as is normal for Leatherology)!
I am a fanatic for having nice leather items to protect my items and this bag is just perfect!!!
This is just a perfect size for my husband to carry some small items he doesn't want to weigh down his pockets. Sometimes he doesn't want to carry the wallet in his pants pocket, and this bag is just perfect. It has a small handle to carry with and will fit out of sight in the car or be within reach at home when he needs something out of it. I wish I had gotten him one sooner! The leather is very nice and the initials are a nice touch.
This is just what I wanted. It keeps all of my computer-related (and other) materials safe and secure, and it has quite a lot of room even though it's technically a small utility bag. The leather is gorgeous and smells great, and the item is very durable. It's reasonably priced and very well-crafted. I would not hesitate to purchase another one in the future.
Changing air travel has placed a premium on luggage weight and size, and your "small Utility bag" is perfect for a compact travel shave kit. I just gave my son one filled with:razor, shaving brush / travel stand, tubes of shaving cream and aftrer shave, styptic pen, deodorant (all Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood), plus toothbrush and toothpaste. (Actually, it can stay packed -- all he has to do is throw in his razor and toothbrush and he's ready to go.) It's just the right size, the leather is buttery soft, and the embossed initials are sophisticated and stylish. It's perfect for this purpose.
This is a very useful leather Utility Bag. It will store the power cords for your laptop as well as the power cords for a tablet. This bag helped me organize my Laptop Backpack and it created more space for other items I wanted to carry. There is a smaill zippered compartment inside. This provides space for USB Flash Drives or even batteries. The leather is nice and soft, but sturdy.
Bag is very nice. Leather is smooth and supple. A fine purchase.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.
