Follow along in the video as Jmac shows you how to remove a Mustang center console. To gain access to certain parts on your Fox Mustang, you will need to remove your center console. Some of the most common reasons to remove your center console are to replace old worn out components such as Ash Tray Doors, Lower Shift Boots or even old dirty carpet. The removal process is extremely easy and can be done in less than 30 minutes. Check out some of these common restoration parts used while removing your center console.
Use only 5.0Resto Mustang parts on your Project Fox Body Mustang!!! 50Resto parts are the perfect addition to your American muscle Mustang Project!
JONATHAN MCDONALD: Hey, everybody. Jmac here with more interior tech. Today we're going to be showing you how to remove your center console. Now removing your center console is necessary to gain access to your shifter or even just your lower shifter boot.
Now it is a little involved, so follow along and we'll show you step by step what needs to be done. We're going to start by removing your center console armrest. Go ahead and pop off your oval plug and grab you a 5/16 or 8-millimeter socket, and you can remove the two bolts on each side that hold the armrest onto the console.
Repeat that process for the other side. I already have ours done. So you can just pick straight up on the armrest and it'll come free of the console.
You can set it out of the way, and we'll move up here to the shifter handle. Just pop up your shifter boot and bezel. You can just pick it up. And then remove the two bolts that hold onto your shifter handle.
Now every shifter's going to have a different piece of hardware holding it on, so you're going to use anywhere from a 10-millimeter to a 13-millimeter socket, or even an Allen-head socket for some aftermarket shifters. You just remove those two bolts to get that handle out of the way.
Then go ahead and remove your AC trim bezel. That just snaps out of place really easily. And grab you a set of radio removal tools. If you still have the stock radio, we have these available on our website. If you've got an aftermarket radio in your car, you have four screws holding in the adapter plate, so you can pull those four screws out to gain access to the back of the radio.
Engage those into place. Pull out and straight back on the radio. And unplug your antenna and then your two electrical connectors from the back. Set that out of the way.
Now we can move on over here to the driver's side. You're going after remove your lower column cover. It's held on by two Phillips' head screws. You've got one over here by the key release button. Get it out of the way. And then one over here, right underneath the lock cylinder. And then your lower column cover comes free. Make sure and keep your screws with it, because you don't want to be hunting around for screws later.
Now your plastic cover, trim cover, for the bottom of the dash, it's held on at the bottom with three screws, and it's got two push clips up here. This car is already missing one screw. It's 5/16 or 8-millimeter head. Go ahead and pull those out of the way.
And grab hold of the panel and pull straight back to disengage the clips. You can set it out of the way. Then you've got this metal trim piece. It's held on, again, with two bolts. It's got either 5/16 or 8-millimeter head. We want to pull those out of the way. Then that metal plate comes free.
Now you want to drop your glove box, open it up, and then push in on both sides, and then it'll completely fall down. Because you have two Phillips-head screws on this side and two Phillips-head screws on this side that you need to remove.
Now you can go ahead and remove the two Phillips-head screws at the front of the console top panel. Then the two Phillips-head screws at the back of the console top panel. Pull up on your E-brake handle and you can take your console top panel up and off.
Then disconnect your two electrical connections-- one for the cigarette lighter and then the other one for the power mirror switch, if your car's equipped. Then your console top panel is free. Now you have two more Phillips-head screws at the back of the console that need to come out.
And now your console is free. Lower your E-brake handle back down, pick up on the back of the console, and pull straight back. Lift up, and you've got an electrical connector over here for your trunk release. It simply pops out of place, and your console is free from the car.
Now to reinstall your console, you would just simply reverse these removal steps. For more interior restoration videos, check out latemodelrestoration.com.

Review: 2008 Volvo XC70 [w/VIDEO]
by Chris Shunk (RSS feed) on Mar 13th, 2008 at 12:05PM
While station wagons are a very big part of the European automotive landscape, here in the States the two-box design sells much better when it's a crossover. We Americans don't have many choices on the true wagon front, mostly because high volume demand simply doesn't exist. One wagon that has been around for a while is the Volvo XC70, which combines much of the rugged AWD utility of an SUV with traditional wagon packaging. The XC70 is all-new for 2008, including its Ford Mondeo-derived platform, 3.2L engine and more refined sheet metal. On paper, the XC70 delivers a good-looking, safe and... Read More

As president of Passport Travel, Bill has led tours to over 120 countries, all 7 continents and all 50 states. His travels have led to him being punched by a gorilla, cornered by a honey badger, chasing a lion, and being a guest of honor at a Hindu festival.
India's Natural Beauties: Udaipur and Jaipur
Whether you refer to Udaipur as the City of Lakes or the City of Dawn, you are sure to agree that romance and beauty fill the air. While traveling by boat, we visit the many palaces and temples on the shore. We also tour the majestic City Palace and the Garden of the Maids of Honor. In Jaipur, we tour the Pink City, paying close attention to such architectural treasures as the Palace of Winds (Hawa Mahal) and the Amber Fort. We also visit the magnificent collections housed in the City Palace.
Hyderabad: The Lake City
Join us as we discover the amazing history of this ancient city through its religion, royal lineage, architecture and art. In the markets, Bill shows you how to buy souvenirs like a pro. We visit the Golconda Fort where the ultimate in diamond souvenirs originated. And, of course, no visit to Hyderabad would be complete without taking a look at its high-tech and movie industries, which have revolutionized the city.
The Wildlife of Rajastan: Ranthambore and Keoladeo National Park
Ranthambore National Park is part of Project Tiger, a unique wildlife conservation program set up to insure the preservation of the magnificent Tiger. In Ranthambore we encounter the tiger along with Sambar and Blue Bull, Wild Boar and Langur Monkey. We also explore the historic side of Ranthambore which is dotted with ruins of the fort that protected the region for hundreds of years. We end the episode with a tour of a very different national park. Board a rickshaw and join your guide as he explores Keoladeo National Park, known for its abundant bird life.
Join us as we cruise the backwaters of Kerala, one of the most beautiful and serene areas of India. We explore the cities of Cochin and Kozhikode. Attend a local theatre performance and learn about traditional drama styles. The drama continues as we witness a local festival and then take in a display of the ancient art of Kalaripayattu. Bill helps raise the Chinese fishing nets at dusk and tour a 1000 year old boat yard, where luxury vessels are still handcrafted.
The Far North: Amritsar, Shimla and Manali
The Golden Temple is the centerpiece of the city of Amritsar, and probably the second most photographed building in India, but few know about the building or the people who built it. The most significant building to people of the Sikh faith, it is open to people of all faiths. We witness the celebration of the changing of the guard before heading into the mountains for a visit to the British influenced town of Shimla. Bill takes us further north for look at the resort area of Manali.
Agra and Its Environs
Agra is home to India's most recognizable monument-the Taj Mahal. First, we tour the Agra Fort and learn its role in the incredible history behind the Taj Mahal's construction. Bill takes us to a factory where we learn how the craft of stone inlay that adorns the Taj Mahal, is still made today. We continue on to Fatehpur Sikri, a former Mughal capital, which was created of red sandstone and displays the influence of its Hindu and Mughal roots. Finally, we meet with a man that is giving the wildlife of India a voice and sanctuary.
The Land of Rudyard Kipling: Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Parks
With classic tales as The Jungle Book to his credit, Rudyard Kipling brought India to life for many readers around the world. In this episode, Bill steps back into Kipling's wild world while exploring Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Parks, the inspiration for The Jungle Book and many other tales. There, we track tigers and search for jackal, sambar, chital, monkeys and wildboar. We round out the episode with jeep safaris, elephant rides and dinners around the fire.
Bangalore and Ooty
Bangalore is a city with many names: the Garden City, the Pub City, the Fashion Capital the list goes on. Follow Bill as he journeys through this city of contrasts and touches on its many faces. We visit Cubbon Park and Lal Bagh Gardens, shop in the markets and explore the nightlife of the modern city. We also explore architecture, from ancient Bull Temple, the legendary source of the Vishva Bharti River to the largest legislative building in India. Bill's final stop is the "Queen of the Hill Stations" Ooty, where he tours the plantations, rides the historic narrow-gauge railroad and visits the Stone House, which was built by the British in the days of colonial rule.
Mumbai & Goa
Join us as we explore the Gateway to India-Mumbai. From its early history, it's many foreign occupations to the hustle and bustle of today. Bill tells Mumbai's rich history is told through two of its most famous inhabitants, Gandhi and Kipling. We delve into the community of the Parsi faith and learn about their beliefs regarding the circle of life before heading to a little bit of heaven on earth, the coastal paradise of Goa. This hot spot for "in the know" travelers feature white, sandy beaches and is surrounded by tropical plant life. Bill introduces both the armchair and actual traveler to this incredible destination. We explore the Portuguese influence on Goa's architecture and cuisine, tour the ghost city of Old Goa and explore Roman Catholic churches.
Gir: The Last Refuge of the Lion
The desert of Gujurat is hardly the place one expects to encounter a lion, but in the scrub forest of the region Bill does exactly that. Join him as he tracks the lion and many less dangerous creatures from spotted deer to owls and parrots. Around the campfire at night meet the local dance group who is preserving the traditional dances of the area people. A unique experience in a unique region.
Kathmandu and Chitwan National Park
Just north of India is a land steeped in mystery-Nepal. Bill tours the city of Kathmandu, visits the World Heritage temple complexes, and walks along the city streets, where ancient and modern vie for space. We fly around Mount Everest, arguably the world's most famous mountain, before heading into Chitwan National Park. In Chitwan, Bill searches for tigers from the back of an elephant and observes the myriad of wildlife that call the park home.
Tamil Nadu: Chennai, Pondicherry and Much More
Chennai, formerly known as Madras, can trace its roots back to a tiny fishing village. Bill explores the city's growth under the British East India Company, with visits to Fort St. George and the Fort Museum. We then travel to the nearby Sao Tome Basilica, the church and burial site of St. Thomas the Apostle. In Pondicherry, French influences can still be felt in the tree-lined streets, colonial mansions and cafes. It's beautiful setting on the Bay of Bengal makes Pondicherry a delightful place to spend the day. Bill also visits the ancient port city of Mahabalipuram, where the landscape is dominated by carved-stone architecture. The final highlight of our tour is the Descent of Ganga, which is the world's largest bas-relief carving.
Old and New Delhi, A City of Contrasts
We journey through the capital of India. The bustling metropolis is filled with modern skyscrapers that stand side by side with hundreds of ancient monuments, making Delhi a physical dichotomy of yesterday and tomorrow. In the old city, we travel by rickshaw through the narrow streets and discover a world that is quickly disappearing. Bill continues on to the tomb of Humayun, whose architectural design inspired one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the great Taj Mahal. We visit 2 mosques for the record books: the first mosque in Delhi and the largest mosque in India. Next he visits the National Gandhi Museum where he views personal items from Gandhi's life, visits a temple that is open to all faiths and finally do the quickest tour of India, without leaving Delhi.

I LOVE this quilt! I want to make one for our bed someday...soooo if you want to make a pattern for it I will buy it :)ReplyDelete
It sounds like wonderful memories to have forever! I love your dancer on the beach!ReplyDelete
Beautiful quilt! I don't have any cute name suggestions, but it reminds me of zipper teeth. :) It's only the first day of spring, but your photos made me realize how ready I am for summer to get here.ReplyDelete
Hi Amy, what a lovey story about your outing. Got a little chuckle about you quilting your quilt. Love, Love, Love your blog, I will surely be back to visit and I am now your newest follower!ReplyDelete
Shari @ Kashmere Kisses
So glad you took advantage of the wonderful break, and I sure hope you create a pattern for that great quilt! The photo of your leaping little one is fantastic and inspiring on its own.ReplyDelete
You could name the quilt Downton 5 (because it has 5 rows). And I'm sure season 5 will be here before we know it! Your beach pictures look so inviting :)ReplyDelete
Maybe Crossroads? Made me think of a tiny town...minus the houses!ReplyDelete
I could really do with a break from the cold snowy winter we are having. this winter seems to be dragging on and I cannot wait for spring. Lovely to see your quilt at the beach.ReplyDelete
I would name this quilt Stacked Ladders. It reminds me of a ladder to a treehouse. What about Treetop Ladder? Sounds like you had a great vacation. Take care and God bless, CoryReplyDelete
Isn't it wonderful to get together with family, especially if it isn't planned ahead of time? The whole trip kind of takes on a relaxed feel with nothing planned down to the minute. I am glad you were able to get away and enjoy family and a gorgeous beach!ReplyDelete
I would call it giant stitches. It reminds me of stitches on a football.ReplyDelete
We are going to the beach for Spring Break too! I'm taking stuff to photograph now!
Thanks so much for the love!! You know when you've looked at something so long that you can't decide if you even like it anymore? That's how I was feeling about this quilt. Now I'm feeling a renewed love as well. Sounds like I need to write the pattern...ReplyDelete
Well, it kind of looks like T's sitting one on top of the other, so if I had made it I'd be calling it my "Mr. T" quiltReplyDelete
Oh your quilt it's so gorgeous!!! I love it :)ReplyDelete
Nice and relaxing place, at least is what I felt looking at the pics,
Have a great day!!
Lluisa x
You had a great getaway and quilt is really gorgeous. I would call it same as your post "Quilt at the beach"ReplyDelete
Love the quilt!! How about "Southern Cross". Don't know where exactly you were, but when I think of beaches, I always think of the South!!ReplyDelete
Hope you decide to do a pattern as I would LOVE to get it!!
Fantastic quilt! I love that you thought to bring it to the beach to photograph.ReplyDelete
T-Zone - immediately came to my mind as a name for that quiltReplyDelete
I LOVE that quilt. I don't care what you call it. I would have bought the pattern. LOL!ReplyDelete
how about "Off the Grid"? sounds like you went off it for a bit which is always refreshing, and the pattern looks like an "off" grid!ReplyDelete
GORGEOUS!!!!!!!! (quilt, AND beach) !!!!! (:ReplyDelete
Really nice and soft look. As I saw it I thought "timeline" since I'm a teacher but then you never gave a name!ReplyDelete
Love the quilt, it reminded me of a Ladder Stitch...ReplyDelete
I think you should have desert somewhere in the title. The colours definitely say 'desert' to me. It's lovely. Hope you do a pattern as I'd like to try it.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! I did a little echo quilting on your "Chain Linked" pattern and it likewise took forever. :) But it looks so good when it's done!ReplyDelete
This reminds me of a spaced apart zipper, so I'd name it "Deconstructed Zipper" though that might be a little too artsy-fartsy for a pattern name, I don't know. :)
So glad you were able to have a get away, and to such a beautiful place. The first thing I see on your awesome quilt are the crosses, which make me think of the the amazing, redeeming sacrifice our Savior Jesus Christ made for us. So my vote for a name would be Resurrection, the story doesn't end at the cross but in the promise of eternal life that He gives us all! I love all the fabrics you've used and a pattern would be awesome.ReplyDelete
I think Climbing the Walls. It looks a bit like a trellis to me, or an old school video game ladder. Plus I think it fits the amount of time it took to finish.ReplyDelete
Beautiful quilt. The quilting was well worth the time. I would call it Fence Rows.ReplyDelete
Love the quilt design and choice of fabric. I would call it "Positive Changes". It reminds me of plus signs moving/changing from dark to light.ReplyDelete
I knew I couldn't be alone in this one. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that quilt and am begging you to please make a pattern for it and soon. I mean really soon. I need it so I can make and have it finished by June 1, 2013. It's just stunning.ReplyDelete
Railroad tracks, or tie bars. Very nice.ReplyDelete
How about "Crosswalk"? So pretty!ReplyDelete
Lovely quilt...glad you followed through and took that beach vacation! This quilt reminds me of "Almost Crossroads" for what it's worth. Lot's of nice names being bantered about.ReplyDelete
Lucky Lady to have a wonderful and well deserved beach break... and with your family too! Can't say why, but "Making Tracks" comes to my mind. Totally love the quilting and know what a labor of love it is to complete a never-ending quilt project. Many thanks for all you share.ReplyDelete
I hope you do write a pattern! Cool quilt.ReplyDelete
I, too, thought "Resurrection" when I saw your beautiful quilt! I love the energy...fabrics and echo quilting really made it come alive:) Thanks for sharing it with us:)ReplyDelete
Love the quilt. My first thought was T-Bone. Then looked a little more and maybe Random Rails suits it better.ReplyDelete
love your choice of colors and the ombre effect!ReplyDelete
how about T time? (and a pattern, pretty please!)
I'd trade snow for the beach any day. Great photos and great quilt. You can call it "Chutes and Ladders"ReplyDelete
How about "Crossroads"?ReplyDelete
Hey!? I was going to say "Crossroads" to... :)ReplyDelete
Very nice quilting, it was worth it!
Maybe it's a little macabre, but it reminds me of Frankenstein stitches. How about "stitches". (I love the colors in this quilt.)ReplyDelete
I thought it was an Easter quilt when I saw it. So I would call it Easter cross or Resurrection. Love the colours and pattern.ReplyDelete
I love this quilt. If you don't write a pattern for it don't be surprised if it gets copied a lot. It's really beautiful and the echo quilting sets off the pattern perfectly.ReplyDelete
Love the quilt! seriously! "You've got talent."ReplyDelete
I would name it "Season 3."ReplyDelete
who cares what you name it I love the pattern sew write it and get it out there. The 77 comments before me all had great names, you could just make the pattern cover with all of them like sweetwater does with there fabricReplyDelete
Love this quilt sew much!!! Please make a pattern :) I love the name that Cathy,on March 20 at 5:19PM suggested, Tree House Ladder, because it also reminds me of the ladders we would make to our tree houses as well. We would hunt for any bits of wood we could find and our ladders as well as the tree house would be a lovily combination of differant colored bits of wood...much like a quilt:)ReplyDelete
Love your blog Amy!
Have a nice day!
I am really late at getting a reply posted but I am in love with this quilt. Serenity is the name which popped into my head first. It reminds me of peace and unity.ReplyDelete
I would happily purchase a pattery or this if you made one. :)
I long for a trip to the beach with sunny skies. We are just south of Seattle and it is torentially raining here.

I thought to make a topic where it is possible to quote and list sources in relation to plants found in ancient Texts and explainings. It's a thematic which has some absolutism or a kind of stepmotherly treatment (sometimes for the propose of worldly projects or commented in regard of worldly proposes) and I guess its very important to get much impression of the early teachings in this regard.

Felipe Massa pulled off the surprise of the week when he put his FW36 on top of the timesheets on the final day at Jerez.
Hours after speaking about his "happiness" with his new team, he had a very happy ending to his first test as a Williams driver.
Posting a 1:28.229 on a dry track, Massa beat former team-mate Fernando Alonso by nine-tenths of a second.
The early part of the day, though, belonged to Alonso in the wet.
With the rain coming down at the start of play, Nico Rosberg set the early pace in his Mercedes W05 before Alonso, having swapped to the intermediate Pirelli tyres, edged him with a 1:35.334.
His lap time meant Alonso was leading the way at lunch ahead of Rosberg and McLaren rookie Kevin Magnussen in what, surprisingly, was an uninteruptted morning without a single stoppage.
As the day wore on and the track dried the incidents began.
The first belonged to Sauber's Adrian Sutil who went off backwards at the final chicane and found his C33 stuck in the gravel.
Shortly after that Massa went quickest with a 1:28.229 putting an end to Alonso's brief battle with Force India test driver Daniel Juncadella for the top spot.
The duo were not able to even attempt a fight back as minutes later Magnussen brought out the reds when he spun his MP4-29 but managed to keep it on the asphalt.
However, he wasn't so lucky the next time around when, with just over 10 minutes left in the day, he again brought when he went off while Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat also stopped.
The two incidents meant no one was able to put in a late challenge against Massa.
Two drivers made their 2014 debuts on Friday with Kamui Kobayashi in action for Caterham and Daniil Kvyat for Toro Rosso but it was another day to forget for Red Bull with Daniel Ricciardo covering just seven laps.
01 Massa Williams 1:28.229 86 laps
02 Alonso Ferrari 1:29.145 +0.916 115 laps
03 Juncadella Force India 1:29.457 +1.228 81 laps
04 Magnussen McLaren 1:30.806 +2.577 110 laps
05 Hamilton Mercedes 1:30.822 +2.593 41 laps
06 Bianchi Marussia 1:32.222 +3.993 25 laps
07 Sutil Sauber 1:36.571 +8.342 69 laps
08 Rosberg Mercedes 1:36.951 +8.722 91 laps
09 Kobayashi Caterham 1:43.193 +14.964 54 laps
10 Kvyat Toro Rosso 1:44.016 +15.787 9 laps
11 Ricciardo Red Bull 1:45.374 +17.145 7 laps

Sebastian Vettel put in a late charge to beat Lewis Hamilton to the first P1 at the Circuit of the Americas by 1.4s in a practice that saw drivers slipping and sliding all over the place.
The action started early, from the very first installation lap, as the drivers slipped and slid their way around on the new surface. In fact, the track surface was so slippery that Nico Hulkenberg told his team it was like driving on a "wet" track.
Kamui Kobayashi had the honour of setting the first-ever lap time on the CoTA, a 1:54.846. However, the Sauber driver struggled to keep his car pointing in the right direction as almost every second corner resulted in a slide or a twitch. He lowered the benchmark to a 1:51 and then a 1:48.517.
Lap after lap the Sauber driver improved his time with Mark Webber playing a brief cameo in the P1 slot before losing out to Kobayashi with a 1:45.866. That was the P1 time after the first 30 minutes with Webber second ahead of Bruno Senna, Kimi Raikkonen, Sergio Perez and Daniel Ricciardo.
Webber hit the front again while his team-mate Sebastian Vettel went ninth on his first time lap and flew off the track on the second. The German, though, was by no means the only driver testing the limits as Michael Schumacher and Jean-Eric Vergne also had moments. Vettel's next lap boosted him up the order to second with Lewis Hamilton taking third. Hamilton's next lap had him taking first with a 1:42.603.
Fernando Alonso was the next to lead the way but was topped by Hamilton with a 1:40.918. As the grip levels increased, the lap times dropped, although that didn't mean the drivers were yet sticking to the tarmac with Jenson Button and Felipe Massa flying off at Turn 19. Sergio Perez had a near-miss with the pit lane entry barriers.
With 30 minutes remaining Hamilton was leading the way with a 1:40.175, 0.353s up on Button while Alonso was a further 0.07s down. Vettel was 11th but soon after improved to fourth as he ventured out for another run. Alonso upped his pace but remained third. It was more of the same as Vettel went quicker but stayed second, Alonso went quicker but stayed third and Hamilton went quicker to hold a 0.648s advantage with ten minutes to go.
Putting in the laps Hamilton went even quicker but that didn't stop Vettel from taking the P1 slot off him with a 1:38.692, which was 0.8s up on Hamilton's best and 1.6s quicker than Alonso's. And then he went even quicker - 0.5s up on his previous best - as the chequered flag fell.

High Style: A Classic Paris Apartment
When the editor of ELLE DECORATION France fell in love with a noted furniture dealer and invited him to move into her classic Paris apartment, the place got an invigorating dose of 20th-century high style
By Ian Phillips
Philippe Rapin and Sylvie de Chirée
"I often say this apartment is like a theater, where the objects are our actors and we're the directors," says Sylvie de Chirée, editorial director of ELLE DECORATION France. "We dream up new scenarios and have fun moving them around." One evening at midnight, she and her husband, furniture dealer Philippe Rapin, decided that a large crystal chandelier didn't look right in the small salon off the main sitting room. Other couples would have dealt with it the next day. Not them. In the early hours, they dismantled the light fixture and moved it into the master bedroom, where it hangs today.
Located on the Right Bank, close to the Seine, the apartment is housed in a typical Parisian building from 1910. It was initially inhabited by one of the building's architects, Paul Marozeau, who earmarked the 2,700-square-foot unit for himself and his family. De Chirée had the chance to meet his daughter, who said she had "vague memories of being very young and seeing the wall decoration in the small salon being painted."

TSC's Schools Tour Hits the Road Near and Far with New Play: Shakespeare's Greatest Hits
(October 23, 2012) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company's expanding Education Program this week launches its 2012-13 Schools Tour throughout the Memphis area, across the state, and into North Carolina with its newly conceived production of Shakespeare's Greatest Hits.
Created and directed by TSC Education Director Stephanie Shine, Shakespeare's Greatest Hits is a fast-paced and surprising tour through the playwright's most famous and exciting plays, scenes, characters, and self-created words that we speak every day.
The piece is adaptable both to physical school spaces and student age ranges, playing to young audiences from third grade through twelfth grade in school classrooms, cafeterias, and theatres.
The tour is taking school bookings now through mid-April 2013, and is made possible by individual contributions to TSC's Barbara B. Apperson Angel Fund. More than 1,300 students in Tennessee and North Carolina currently are booked to experience the tour, which also includes a post-show actor talkback and options for additional playshops with the students.
"Greatest Hits engages and applauds its audience by illuminating the phrases, words, stories, characters, and feelings that we all know and that connect us, thanks to Shakespeare," says Shine. "It is both exciting and empowering for people of all ages to realize how much Shakespeare they know and how much Shakespeare they quote every day. It brings us closer to each other in a shared experience and motivates us to learn more. And we have fun together in the process!"
The play features scenes and speeches from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Henry V, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Henry VI part 1, The Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth Night, The Tempest, Richard III, The Merchant of Venice, and the Sonnets.
Actors Amelia Hammond and Trevor Pittinger, who take on more than 20 roles between them in the show, are professional actor-teachers from Washington, D.C. and New York City working in TSC's inaugural Journeyman Program. Amelia has been seen in TSC's productions of The Tempest and Complete Works, and both actors will perform in the upcoming It's a Wonderful Life: a Live Radio Play at the Dixon Gallery in December.
To book your school tour experience and to get more information, administrators and parents may call TSC Education Manager Slade Kyle at 901-759-0620 or email him at [email protected]

Richard III
the tragedy by William Shakespeare
directed by David Demke
and featuring Dan McCleary
GPAC/Duncan-Williams Performance Hall
October 30, 31, and November 1, 2014
at 7:00 pm
Sponsored by Ann and Wellford Tabor
"I shall despair. There is no creature loves me,
And if I die, no soul will pity me."
Only THREE special Halloween performances!
TSC's production of William Shakespeare's early Morality Play raises history from the dead to put the notorious King Richard III on trial before you and the spirit world.
Unearthed from a buried Friary just two years ago in Leicester, England, the painfully deformed 1485 skeleton of Richard now is brought to frightening life in a cadaver synod during which his murderous actions to the throne are reconsidered during the reverence of All Hallow's Eve. A soul still wandering between this life and the next, history's notorious "bottled spider" has much more he would like for you to consider before passing final judgment on his actions that gained him the throne but have haunted him ever since.
David Demke (A Midsummer Night's Dream) returns to TSC to direct the production with a stellar cast of eight actors, including the return of Caley Milliken, (TSC's Ariel, Marc Antony, Lady Capulet, and Peaseblossom), Paul Kiernan (TSC's Petruchio), Johnny Lee Davenport (TSC's Prospero, Oberon, and Othello), and Artistic Director Dan McCleary as the "bunch-back'd toad."
The creative team includes costumer Bruce Bui (Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet), lighting designer Jeremy Fisher (Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, Unto the Breach), and scenic designer Brian Ruggaber (University of Memphis, Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey).
Free Will Kids' Night is in effect for all performances: Children 17 years and younger will be admitted FREE when accompanied by a paying, attending guardian. Limit: four children per guardian. Seating is general admission.

Orchestra conducts maestro search
Date: November 20, 2012
by: Mallory Gnaegy | A&E Editor
Friday, Nov. 9, guest conductor Jamie Laredo stood on the stage at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall and performed Vivaldi's familiar violin solo, "The Four Seasons," as part of the opening concert in Sarasota Orchestra's Masterworks series.
Musicians and patrons throughout the program shared one recurring thought: "Could this be the next artistic director of Sarasota Orchestra?" That question will remain throughout the next six guest-conductor appearances, and possibly into next season.
The search for a new maestro began a little less than a year ago, when Leif Bjaland completed a devoted 15 years at Sarasota Orchestra.
It was determined that the position would be filled via closed search. The term "closed" means that a guest conductor may or may not be a candidate for the position.
"We thought it was important for all the candidates to have confidentiality to show their interest without disclosing their full interest to the world," says Joe McKenna, president and CEO of Sarasota Orchestra.
This process offers a chance for the orchestra to try out potential candidates, but it's also a chance to make a sales pitch to a conductor whose only intention is to be a guest conductor. Either way, the series will entertain with a showcase of talented conductors and musicians until the right person is found.
"Everyone has a strong feeling that we will keep searching until we find that magic," McKenna says. The next artistic director will be chosen through a consensus — this person will have great chemistry with the orchestra.
The final say will come from a search committee of 10 members: two board members, four musicians, two staff members, a member independent of the organization and the search committee chairman, Edward Alley. Recently, the committee has been meeting as often as two times a week. They will eventually determine when a consensus has been reached and present their decision to the board.
The search committee is conducting formal and informal surveys of musicians and the audience following each performance. Daniel Jordan, violinist and concertmaster on the search committee, and the other committee musicians have been fitting in as many conversations with their colleagues as possible.
"I'll say affectionately, that musicians are an opinionated bunch — we get lots of feedback," Jordan laughs.
The committee represents the organization as a whole, explains Jordan. "It's not like one of those searches where we are the ones that hold the keys to the car."
The committee also decided upon the credentials of the future artistic director. He or she must be a stellar musician, must lead Sarasota Orchestra into the future, and this person will build on the innovation already established at the orchestra.
Until they find that ideal candidate, the orchestra will "date around," so to speak. It could be that one of the seven guest conductors will be its next artistic director, but if the chemistry isn't right, then the search will continue with the guest conductors being planned for next season.
"We intend to get this thing right," says Jordan. "(Patrons) might feel like it's taking a while, but this is the kind of search that can't really move quickly because a lot of these conductors are booked a year or more in advance."
There could be a new artistic director as early as the next performance, but it could take as long as spring 2014. Both McKenna and Jordan suggest that even though the search committee is waiting for the perfect fit, a sense of urgency remains.
But, let it be known that Sarasota Orchestra is not in limbo. Instead of feeling directionless or leaderless, the organization is excited about the transition and its future.
"I think this is a time of incredible excitement and growth for the musicians in the orchestra because we are getting to work with really world-class conductors," says Jordan.
Maestro Thomas Wilkins
Age: 56
Instrument: Cello and tuba
Current or most recent position: Music Director Omaha Symphony; Principal Guest Conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and Germeshausen Family; and Youth Concert conductor chair with Boston Symphony
Program: Nov. 30 to Dec. 2; "The Planets'"
Program notes from conductor: (Mozart's "Jupiter") is the last of three symphonies that he wrote in a three-week period. It's the end of his symphonic writing, but one of the most productive times in his musical life. (This masterwork) affirms the fact that he was sort of the Michael Jordan of composers.
Career highlight: The moment when a concert-goer came to me and said the magic words we all love to hear, "I had no idea it could be this wonderful."
Favorite composer or piece to conduct: My all-time favorite piece is Mahler's First Symphony. But, interestingly, I have come to the conclusion, in the past few years, that the greatest conductor to ever live is Beethoven. For me, whatever I'm conducting is my favorite at the time.
Maestro Daniel Hege
Age: 47
Instrument: Oboe, by training, but now piano
Current or most recent position: Director of Wichita Symphony
Program: Feb. 1 to Feb. 3; "Turning Points"
Program notes from conductor: Haydn uses humorous things like unexpected silences and interesting juxtapositions of harmonies … After Haydn, the general orchestra textures get more lush and thick … (The Barber Violin concerto) is very challenging for the soloist and the orchestra. The last work on the program is perfect to follow Debussy, because it in many ways takes over where Debussy left off … Stravinsky uses a rich texture in the music and orchestration … (Overall) the pieces work well together.
Career highlight: Carnegie Hall in 2003 with the Syracuse Symphony. Everyone was on his or her game for that performance.
Favorite composer or piece to conduct: The one I'm doing at that moment … When (a composer) is committed to a particular piece, all the commitment is there.
Maestro Andrew Grams
Age: 35
Instrument: Violin
Program: March 14 to March 17; "Made in America"
Program notes from conductor: It's a program that is varied; it has something for everybody. There's good fun on the first half with some Eurpoean-centric fun with an American taste to it. I'm sure the first two pieces, the Gershwin and the Fine, were both inspired by the Dvorák (the third piece in the program).
Career highlight: Pass! There is no one thing. I have way too many awesome things that have happened to me … much more than any man is deserved of getting.
Favorite composer or piece to conduct: When it comes to purely conducting, it would be the works of Johann Strauss — I love waltzes and polkas.
Maestro Alessandro Sicilani
Age: 60
Instrument: piano
Current or most recent position: Former Music Director of the Columbus symphony orchestra
Program: Feb. 28 to March 3; "Beethoven's Ninth"
Program notes from conductor: I have lots of experience with this one … This is the first example of a major work while using voice in a symphony — it was really a new thing. It's a magic work.
Career highlight: My first concert in a little town in Deruta, Italy, was a great memory, and also my first (concert) at Carnegie Hall, in 2001, with Columbus Symphony.
Favorite composer or piece to conduct: The soup de jour.
Maestro Peter Bay
Age: 55
Instrument: Retired flautist
Current or most recent position: Director of Austin Symphony
Program: April 5 to April 7; "East Meets West"
Program notes from conductor: The Copland symphony is the culmination of his craft. It's an exciting, powerful, emotional work and a very positive one. Tchaikovsky is a purely romantic piece of music, and it also wears its emotions on its sleeves. For a piece that was considered unplayable when it was first heard, it has become one of the most famous and most performed piano concertos.
Career highlight: The first time I conducted Beethoven's Ninth Symphony." That is a holy grail of classical music and the experience I had conducting that for the first time is one I'd never forget.
Favorite composer or piece to conduct: For this program, the Copland symphony is my favorite. It's whatever is next, that's my favorite piece.

- Hermenegild
Son of the Spanish Visigoth Arian king Levigild, and raised in Arianism. In 579 he married the Catholic princess Indgund, who, with Saint Leander, bishop of Seville, Spain, converted him back to orthodox Christianity. Immediately disinherited by his father.
Publicly renounced and fought against Arianism; he expected support from outside anti-Arian groups, but it never materialized, and he was defeated by his father's forces. King of Seville. At one point he reconciled with his father, but his step-mother, Goswintha, caused friction between them because of her staunch Arian views. Arrested, tortured, and martyred on orders of his father for refusing to denounce Catholicism and refusing to accept communion from a heretic bishop.
