Jonathan was 6 in 1983, "I remember Five Daughters Offering Felicitations most vividly. It was grand, lots of characters, the costumes were beautiful. The story's quite complicated. My mum's a Yue opera fan, so every time they came to Hong Kong, she took me, and I grew to like it too. Because of that, I've got a large collection of their cassettes as well as ...Continue to read

Discontinue use and see if the side effects go away. If it doesn't then you could probably try an antihistamine such as cetirizine or loratadine. If this doesn't help then please see your doctor.

Keywords: Cost conscience deal one block from beach. Sleeps 4. Well furnished and very comfortable.
I am laura williams. I have been in this business for 17 years. I know quality when i see it.My family has owned property since 1959 in la jolla.I know the area and love it. I grew up in aurora illinois. I have been married for 40 years with 5 children and 10 grand children. I taught school for 10 years in the inner city of la. I miss it but i love people and want their vacations to be the best possible.
Clean Well Furnished And Priced For The Budget Conscience Renters. Great New Kitchen
One Block From A Great Little Beach And Great Neighborhoods To Walk In.
The apartment is nicely remodeled inside, and was clean and welcoming inside. The beach is one block downhill - and is a private feeling sandy cove with smooth rock outcroppings where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful blue water and the waves. We were watching the surfers off to the left one morning, when right in front of us a pod of dolphins popped up! They hovered around for a while, and then started to surf the waves right in front of us. We also saw a seal and pelicans the next morning. A great way to start your morning!
We were travelling with our two teenage daughters who slept in the large sofabed in the living room with their own TV. The bed in the bedroom was large and comfortable. The unit was adequately stocked with clean linens and towels, as well as soap, shampoo and conditioner. There was dish soap and paper towels in the kitchen. There was a binder on the dining table that contained instructions for the two TVs and some information on places nearby. It was useful to know where the nearest supermarket was.
The La Jolla area is beautiful, and there are a variety of restaurants nearby. San Diego and Coronado are about 20 minutes away.
The owners were quick to respond to inquiries on VRBO, and sent the contract via email.
The downsides are very minor. First, from the outside the building (triplex!) looks a little older, with some peeling paint. One of the wooden steps leading up to the unit was loose. My husband wondered aloud what I had gotten us into. However the inside is beautiful and new. The unit faces La Jolla Blvd., which is a wide street traffic with a fair amount of traffic. However it gets very quiet at night, and with the window open we could even hear the waves in the distance. The kitchen has the basics (plates, drinkware, silverware and a couple of pots), which is good for fixing a quick breakfast, but not for doing major cooking. There is no dishwasher, so you'll have to wash your breakfast dishes by hand. That's fine for me - but it would be nice if they added a dish drainer.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. We are frequent users of VRBO and this was one of the better properties we have rented. It was clean and presented as shown in the photos and features off-street parking with its own garage. This is a real plus for an urban vacation property It is also only a few blocks from the shoreline and beach and in a prosperous area. It met our needs very well. One caveat is that it is located on a major thoroughfare so there is considerable traffic noise during the day. However, we were rarely there at that time and the traffic dwindled to almost nothing by 11:00 PM, so we slept well with the windows open. We prefer to cook most of our own meals and the kitchen meet our needs. A minor complaint is that there were no basic kitchen linens or a dish rack, but we managed with little inconvenience. This is a good value for a vacation property in an exclusive area. We would stay here again.
My husband and I stayed the month of January in the apartment and loved our visit. The apartment is as described. It was fairly newly remodeled, clean and was ample space for the two of us. We frequently used the kitchen and BBQ area, which made our stay quite reasonable. If easy access to the beach and surrounding neighborhood, including downtown La Jolla is important to you, this apartment is a gem. We walked two blocks to the beautiful Wind and Sea beach everyday to watch surfers, read, or see the awesome sunsets. It is a 40 minute, 1.5 mile walk by the boardwalk and through the neighborhood to midtown La Jolla. Perfect!
There is parking in front of the unit but we used the garage space provided. Also, there are pay washers and dryers in the garage area. Chelsea was our contact if we needed anything and she was attentive, prompt and a pleasure to work with. We would rent this apartment again.
Apartment was exactly as advertised; reasonably priced, comfortable, and conveniently located in La Jolla. Kitchen is reasonably well stocked, important for us as we cooked several simple meals. At one point we lost connection with the WiFi and the management team fixed the problem within an hour, very responsive and easy to work with generally. Plenty of street parking. I would recommend and would rent again if we are in the area.
This property was exactly as it was advertised. It is a great cost effective condo very close to the beach. We found this be a great alternative to a hotel reservation.
The apartment is very clean and quite comfortable. However, I don't believe it is set up to actually cook a full meal, as some of the basic amenities that are necessary to live for any length of time are lacking. Such as: soap to wash hands / soap dish to put the soap in if you happen to bring your own, dish cloth or brush to wash dishes, drying rack to dry dishes (only two dish towels are provided and we found no dish cloths). There was one box of tissue in the unit but only four or five tissues in it. There was olive oil to use but no spices other than salt & pepper and those were almost empty; no plastic wrap or tin foil for storage, no storage containers -- just the bare minimum is provided. So you will have to make a trip to the store upon arrival or bring the essentials with you. We found it to be cheaper and easier just to eat out. Other VRBO's that we have rented provided the essentials that were needed to cook (oils/spices/condiments etc. and the kitchen tools( towels /cleaning supplies etc) that would be required to cook and clean-up afterwards.
It was hot while we were there and they have very nice ceiling fans in the living & bedroom that work well in cooling the place down if you open the windows that are able to be opened and the front door (no screen door).
The bed is comfortable and a variety of pillows are provided to meet most needs. Like others have said, the street in front of the unit is busy but we didn't have trouble finding parking. It's just a short walk to a few restaurants and to the beach. And just a little farther walk to other shops and restaurants.
Overall, we were comfortable in the unit but expected more of the everyday necessities for living to be provided. Consequently, we would probably suggest looking for a place with a more complete kitchen set-up if you truly want to cook.

Wow. I have been a county fair foods judge for 30 yrs. and I can tell you, in my estimation , after having tasted thousands of cookies, these are the best cookies I have ever eaten. I have never seen them at a fair. I baked mine to "soft centers" instead of crisp and "snappy". Love the soft center.
I have made these cookies a couple of times now, and they are a crowd pleaser! They look and taste great. I've had a lot of requests for the recipe. I love booth snickerdoodles and ginger cookies, and it's so nice not to have to choose!
Easy and delicious! I love the combination of flavors. I used coarse sugar to roll them in and it gave a nice crunch to the outside of the cookie.
I always go to Land O Lakes because it has the best tasting recipes and this one is no exception, but I must say something about this cookie. Rolling dough is my favorite way to make cookies but I had trouble with getting the swirl to look neat and not shaggy. Next time I would prefer to make either gingersnaps or snickerdoodles.
I could not get my cookies to have a nice swirl effect like pictured. The taste was OK but not my favorite. Will not be making again.
Yum! They are super easy and look so neat. Definitely a new Christmas cookie must-have!
This was so easy! So much fun! and very delicious! I have everyone I know trying them.

Mint isn't a traditional Irish flavor, but the color of the green mint mousse in this tart lends itself so well to St. Patrick's Day celebrations, I had to tie them together somehow!

Oh my god, this is Japanese fashion! There are entire magazines where ALL the girls have this *exact* look - large, piecey blond bouffants, superwhite skin, heavy black eyemakeup, false lashes top and bottom, and nude shiny lips - they actually make lip concealer to blot them out. The thing is, this look is really out for Japanese women over 23 or so, but I think she looks great - even if it's a really 'done' look.

Hey Anon #11Fair enough. Gwen looks great at 40. Great "for" 40 would imply that she's being favored measurably against an other, which by default, would imply looking 40 (whatever that is) is bad

iOS 6 Users Left In The Lurch After Security Flaw Discovered
As has been widely reported, Apple recently discovered a critical bug in its iOS and OS systems. The security flaw made users of its computers and mobile devices vulnerable to attackers that might want to intercept sensitive information sent during banking sessions, email and other communications while on a public Wi-Fi network.
Unfortunately, the security fix won't help you if you are one of those people who haven't updated from iOS 6 to iOS 7. According to reports from the company, that's about 15 percent of all Apple mobile devices. (About 82 percent of Apple mobile devices are using iOS 7.)
Many people have chosen not to update their iPhones or iPads if they have older devices because of stories about iOS 7 slowing down the iPhone 4 and 4s or shortening the battery life. Since Apple isn't offering a fix for iOS 6, those customers will either have to upgrade and risk having their phones work at less than their best or they will have to be very careful if they use their phone on a public Wi-Fi network.
The security flaw can affect anyone using Wi-Fi in, say, a coffee shop or an airport. A hacker using the same network could intercept communications on Apple devices on the same network.
Apple first issued a security fix for its iOS 7 for mobile devices and then later added a fix for its OS X computer operating system. Apple is being criticized for not sending out more information to its customers on how to protect against the vulnerability.
In a statement about the security update, Apple said: "For the protection of our customers, Apple does not disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until a full investigation has occurred and any necessary patches or releases are available."

This album contains two of the Romantic Era's neglected treasures. Henryk Wieniawski, though little known today, was a potent figure in the 19th century, an almost unparalleled virtuoso violinist and a respected composer. His D minor concerto, op. 22, was premiered in St. Petersburg in 1862 and is a Romantic-era treasure. Pablo de Sarasate's 'Zigeunerweisen' ('Gypsy ways') is a wonderful fantasia on Romany themes composed in 1878. Both of these concerti are wonderful and often overlooked. But take our advice and discover them--they will not disappoint!

5 Little-Known College Basketball Teams That Deserve a Top 25 Ranking
Little-Known Teams That Deserve a Top 25 Ranking
Teams like Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina and Duke will naturally be ranked in the top 25 every single year. All four teams have very storied programs and all four teams tend to get very talented recruits. What about the less known teams, though? Well, luckily for those teams this article will be looking at five little-known college basketball teams that deserve a top 25 ranking.
Teams like Toledo and Louisiana Tech could definitely make a case for being ranked, but neither team's resume is all that appealing. Sure, both teams have great records, but the five teams that we will be talking about have arguably beaten tougher competition.
You will notice a trend here and that is the Atlantic 10. Once again, the A 10 is stacked with teams that could make the NCAA tournament. However, some of the conference's teams could also be ranked in the top 25 right now.
These five aren't the most unheard of schools to ever play the game, but they are definitely less known.
Four out of the five teams are playing in mid-major conferences, however, there is nothing mid-major about their games. The other one is in the AAC.
All five actually have a realistic shot of being ranked at some point in the season and some of these teams could be very close to achieving that feat.
Regardless, these teams do not stack up with the elite programs in college hoops in terms of expectations, hype and national attention in general.
Well, let's get to them.
Read on to see five little-known college basketball teams that deserve a top 25 ranking.
If you're a tweeter feel free to follow me @TheTrevorLowry or add me to your network on Google.
Dayton Flyers
Dayton was actually ranked this season and it definitely deserves to be ranked again despite its recent loss to Saint Louis.
The Flyers' other losses have come against Baylor, Illinois State and USC. However, they have beaten Gonzaga, California, Ole Miss (on the road) and Georgia Tech (on the road).
Dayton's 1-1 record against top 25 teams is not too shabby.
George Washington Colonials
Yet another Atlantic 10 team.
George Washington has dropped two games in its last four, which does not help its case. One of those losses was to La Salle, who had a very disappointing non-conference season and the other was against Kansas State. Both losses came on the road.
The Colonials have beaten, Miami, Creighton, Maryland and Boston U.
Harvard Crimson
Harvard actually had a decent amount of hype entering the 2013-14 college basketball season. This is a team that has made the dance the past two seasons, but this could possibly be its most talented team yet.
The Crimson do not have the best resume in terms of quality wins, but their talent cannot be denied. Plus, both of their losses came against Colorado and Connecticut. Not to mention, both losses came on the road.
For what it's worth, Harvard has beaten Green Bay, TCU, Boston U and Boston College. Boston College needs a miracle to make the dance and the same may be the case for TCU. However, Green Bay and Boston U could end up winning their conferences and earning that auto bid.
SMU Mustangs
SMU does not have a bad loss. The Mustangs lost to Arkansas on the road, to Virginia by three points and to Cincinnati on the road. All three of those teams have a legit shot of making the tournament and SMU played them tough.
Its best win came against Connecticut. If the Mustangs can somehow knock off Louisville on the road, they will more than likely be ranked.
Saint Louis Billikens
Saint Louis had a great season last year and ended up winning a very talented Atlantic 10 Conference. It could be just as good this season.
The Billikens have only lost to Wisconsin and Wichita State, who are both ranked in the top 10. They also only lost those contests by a combined score of 11 points.
Wins against Indiana State and Dayton help boost the resume, but you can bet that Saint Louis will compete for a conference title yet again and it really should make the upcoming tourney.

2001 GMC Sonoma Crew Cab 4dr Crew Cab SLS 4WD SB (4.3L 6cyl 4A)
I purchased my black beauty, SLS crew with 50 miles on it. I never had a moments problem with it, until I moved to California. The gas destroyed my engine. From 25 hwy/18.5 city to 14.5 hwy/12.5 city. In 9 months. The roads are so crappy they shook the speakers off their mounts and the asphalt ripped up my tires. They were pristine at 15,000 and needed replacing when I traded it in at 25,000 in 2006. It broke my heart to let it go but I couldn't afford whatever would happen next. Sparkplugs, EPA accessories, hoses, and belts were all replaced at 23,000, but the MPG didn't recover. WARNING!! Don't bring a midwest vehicle to California, sell it and buy one made for out here.

I have had nothing but trouble with this vehicle. I loved to drive it/love the way it looked but it sits broke down more than on the road. The fuel pump goes out about every other year, the power windows stop working, cd player stopped working. Had 38000 miles when I bought it (5-6years ago) and I only drive to work and back no heavy hauling it now has 100000 miles and the rear end is going out the transmission is going out couple of sensors in the motor are failing and it sits behind my garage..not the best $18000 spent! Really like the truck when it's running and not costing me money.

Bought this little gem to cart around
the oompa loompas and haul the boat, 17
foot Starcraft (2300) lbs. This truck
does it all very very well. Good to
fair gas mileage. (not bad for a semi-
thristy v-6). I get good mileage with
A/C on full blast also. Truck doesn't
mind a/c when towing and doesn't lose
power. Has a little bit of a knock
when you floor it....49k miles and have
only replaced the battery. (delco
batteries aren't top quality). Gas
gauge failed at 41k, thank god I bought
extended warranty. I still paid $140
out of my pocket to fix gauge. I paid
18,600 used, 14k miles on it
originally. I think price equals value

Simply put, this is the best truck I
have ever owned. It has all the bells
and whistles, it rides like a luxury
car and it is very ergonomic. The
Vortec V-6 has ample power to tow a
boat or small trailer and the on-the-
fly 4 wheel drive is hard to beat. I
reccomend this truck to anyone.
Read the full review
Overall I think this is a very nice truck. Roomy back seat when compared to other small crew cab trucks. Powerful V6 engine - a bit noisy but very high torque and towing power for a small truck. Very quiet cabin and smooth ride for a truck. Edmunds must have been looking at a lesser trim package. My loaded SLS Crew Cab has a very nice interior, very nice upholstery and I always receive compliments from people.

Iwakuma gives Mariners a second true ace

So his name actually consists of the Japanese word for bear, preceded by the George Lucas word for teddy bear.
Iwakuma is so underrated, Joe Block (the Brewers' lesser PBP guy on the radio) still can't figure out how to pronounce his name when he runs through the league scoreboard on the postgame show.9. Nasty Nate Posted: August 20, 2014 at 10:00 AM (#4775230)
[his] rate of 0.73 walks per nine innings easily leads all major-league starters and puts him on pace to enter the record books.
"3rd in AL history in walks per nine innings in a season" isn't as glamorous as some other records...
A good rule of thumb, if Carlos Silva is the all-time leader in something, it's not something glamorous.11. DKDC Posted: August 20, 2014 at 10:18 AM (#4775244)
Looking closer at his record-breaking 2005 season, in 188 innings he had 71 strikeouts and 9 walks. Wow!
A typical Carlos Silva season was 190 innings, 80 strikeouts, 30 walks and 230 hits. I had no idea he was such a, um… is there a name for that kind of pitcher? "Guy who can't survive in the major leagues", maybe. But he thrived for 4 years with the Twins and then got a big-money deal from the Mariners, with whom he… ugh.
Does a guy with less than a strikeout every 2 innings even get a regular rotation spot nowadays?
You can't have a second ace. As long as he's on the same team as Felix, he's no ace.12. snapper (history's 42nd greatest monster) Posted: August 20, 2014 at 11:04 AM (#4775283)

Given the playing card roots of the word, I'm pretty sure you can have at least 4.
You can have multiple aces. And zero aces.14. Boxkutter Posted: August 20, 2014 at 11:18 AM (#4775296)
Every team, however, has exactly one "ace of the staff." Probably.
Every team, however, has exactly one "ace of the staff." Probably.
What about when Johnson and Schilling were together in Arizona?
I was thinking a couple of weeks ago about how many pitchers one could reasonably say are better than Iwakuma. Even being quite charitable, I got to about 18 or 19, ad I think he is reasonably about the 14th or 15th best SP in baseball. If you grant that, any definition of ace that excludes him is pretty semantical.16. PepTech Posted: August 20, 2014 at 12:17 PM (#4775383)
FTFA:17. Danny Posted: August 20, 2014 at 12:29 PM (#4775398)
He has gone at least seven innings in eight of those 10 starts, allowing more than two runs just once. Perhaps the most impressive statistic of this dominant stretch is this: 65 strikeouts, four walks.Yowza.
This rate of 0.73 walks per nine innings easily leads all major-league starters
Iwakuma: 12 BB in 147 IP, 0.74 BB/9
Hughes: 15 BB in 158 IP, 0.85 BB/9
Iwakuma's 65/4 stretch is over 72 innings, for a .5 bb/9.19. Danny Posted: August 20, 2014 at 01:03 PM (#4775470)
Hughes had a very similar stretch from April-June (67IP, 61/3).
Kyle Lohse allowed 4 walks in 69 IP over 10 starts in April-June.20. theboyqueen Posted: August 20, 2014 at 01:03 PM (#4775471)
Closers are obviously a different breed, but Doolittle for the season is 77/4 over 53.2 innings.21. PepTech Posted: August 20, 2014 at 01:28 PM (#4775500)
Kyle Lohse allowed 4 walks in 69 IP over 10 starts in April-JuneAnd I added him to my fantasy team in late June. Don't speak his name again.
Iwakuma's had 21 starts, so he's averaging 7IP, compared to Hughes 25. Not a huge difference, but it's something.
I completely agree, Hughes makes the word "easily" above a little suspect. It would be more accurate to say Iwakuma and Hughes easily lead the majors (3. Colon 1.172, 4. Kershaw 1.177, ... , 10. Chen 1.584).
The real question is, per Crispix, what *was* Silva smoking in 2005. 9BB in 188 IP? Anyone remember what was going on? That's Brady Anderson-esque.
A typical Carlos Silva season was 190 innings, 80 strikeouts, 30 walks and 230 hits. I had no idea he was such a, um… is there a name for that kind of pitcher?
In high school we called that machine Iron Mike.

Extreme pitch-to-contact pitcher.
Neyer:25. The Anthony Kennedy of BBTF (Scott) Posted: August 20, 2014 at 03:31 PM (#4775583)
I will mention in passing that the M's had their dynamic duo last season, too. Of course both Hernandez and Iwakuma have been even better this season, which wouldn't have predicted.
Extreme pitch-to-contact pitcher.
Gave up a lot of home runs, too. At his peak he was still an above average pitcher, though.
Silva was a less successful version of Bob Tewksbury who managed to pull of a few of these in the early sillyball days.27. The District Attorney Posted: August 21, 2014 at 01:33 PM (#4776408)
For 2012-14, 37 pitcher-seasons with at least 10 starts and a K/9 of 5 or less. Jeremy Guthrie lives in this neighborhood. For 2014, you've got Nick Tepesch (Tex) at 4.57, Arroyo at 4.92, Feldman at 4.94, Correia at 4.62, Scott Carroll (CWS) at 4.62, Nick Martinez (Tex) at 4.92.
There were guys below 4.5 in 2013 -- Garland (he was still pitching?), Clayton Richard, Westbrook, Scott Diamond.
What Texas is thinking with two low-K starters in that ballpark I have no idea. Deaperation I assume.
Jeff Sullivan points out another part of Iwakuma's success: Basestealers are 0-for-8 against him this year. (The "0-fer" record is 0-for-9, by Luis Tiant in his pretty decent 1968 season.)28. Wins Above Paul Westerberg Posted: August 21, 2014 at 05:14 PM (#4776606)
(And Iwakuma's main catcher, Zunino, is only throwing out 20% of basestealers with other pitchers.)
I remember Carlos Silva's 2005 season well. His May 20 start against the Brewers was a thing of beauty. Complete game, five hits, one run, and no walks (natch) all on 74 pitches. With a three pitch inning in the sixth! God that Brewers team sucked.

Josh Costello is the playwright who created the award-winning, sold-out stage adaptation of my novel Little Brother. Now, he writes, "The stage adaptation of Cory's novel Little Brother was a big hit in San Francisco in 2012, and the script is now available for licensing. Want to see Little Brother on stage in your city? Playwright Josh Costello has posted information about licensing the script, along with video clips, photos, and reviews from the premiere. If you know folks in your local theatre community that might be interested in producing the play, this is where to send them.
"Theaters will want to know that the adaptation is a full-length play for three actors (one woman and two men). There is also a large-cast version available (which might especially appeal to schools). A script sample (as published in Theatre Bay Area Magazine) is available for download.

Mark Marino and Rob Wittig say,
For the first 3 weeks of January, the verified Twitter account of reality TV star Spencer Pratt (of MTV's The Hills) became the site for a literary performance art project. The framing story held that Spencer had lost his phone while in England before a stint on Celebrity Big Brother, and the phone was found by an unknown British poet.
Over the next several weeks @tempspence, as he came to be known, played a variety of poetry games and recounted the story of his courtship of his dual love interests Una & Duessa, named for the characters from Book 1 of Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene. The project was designed and performed by collaborators Mark C. Marino and Rob Wittig. Mark and Rob have been developing netprov, a kind of catfish lit. Some of the exchanges and games have been archived here.

Grand Guignol was a Parisian theater that between 1897 and 1962 staged macabre plays known for their cartoon horror and violence. LIFE shares with us vintage photos of this splatterpunk paradise. Above, "Burned by vitriol thrown at him by his girl who comes to seek forgiveness, her lover turns slowly to reveal his elaborately blighted face. Then he strangles her." "Shock Value: Inside Paris' Grand Guignol Theater, 1947"
"The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum at Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade" is a play written by Peter Weiss, whose conceit is that a group of inmates in a post-revolutionary French insane asylum are talked into acting out a subversive denunciation of the revolution's betrayal by the Marquis de Sade, who is a co-inmate. And it's a musical.
My parents loved this one, and we sang the songs in the car. I've seen several productions, including the 1967 film of a live performance. It turns out that this whole film is online on YouTube, all two hours' worth. It's quite an amazing work, and the YouTube version is subtitled in English, Portuguese (Brazilian), French, Spanish and Turkish.
The Marquis de Sade is locked in the Charenton mental hospital and decides to put on a play. His overseers agree as long as he follows certain conditions. He writes and directs the other mental patients in a play based on the life of the Jean-Paul Marat. As the play progresses, the inmates become more and more possessed by the violence of the play and become extremely difficult to control. Finally, all chaos breaks loose.

Michael Ross Albert sends us "A Kickstarter campaign to help fund the first major New York revival of NIGHT OF THE AUK by Arch Oboler."
Originally produced by the legendary Kermit Bloomgarden in 1956, the first production of this space epic was directed by luminary Sidney Lumet, and starred Christopher Plummer, Claude Rains, and Dick York. This summer, Outside Inside, a new independent theatre company, will produce the first major revival of Oboler's interstellar adventure as part of the 16th Annual New York International Fringe Festival!
Hugely influential in the world of science-fiction, Arch Oboler's underrated and undervalued works have all but fallen into obscurity. Now, Outside Inside needs your help to resurrect a lost classic of the sci-fi genre. Set aboard an ill-fated spacecraft returning to Earth after the first successful lunar expedition, NIGHT OF THE AUK is a nail-biting adventure, a cautionary fable, and the most fun you're likely to have in the theatre this summer!
Presented in a sleek new 75 minute adaptation and designed by a top-notch team of professional artists, NIGHT OF THE AUK promises to be an unforgettable FringeNYC experience.

John Herman sez, "I am producing 'An Evening of Apocalyptic Theatre' in Portsmouth, NH. Nine plays, nine visions of the end -- including new works by Hugo and Nebula award winning science fiction author James Patrick Kelly and best selling author of The Great Typo Hunt, Jeff Deck. A couple argues in a bomb shelter over a dog puzzle. A man gets an unexpected visit from Intergalactic Salvage. CERN scientists experience the romance of multi-verses. PLUS: Not only is the money raised going to three local charities, but I will also shave my head halfway through the show's run to raise money for St. Baldrick's Foundation, a group that funds childhood cancer research grants"
An Evening of Apocalyptic Theatre (Thanks, John!)
Austin's Old Murder House Theater has mounted a rendition of Aliens -- on ice! It's more or less faithful to the original, and it's, well, stupendous:
Anyone who has seen Aliens can follow what transpires over the next 70 minutes or so. It's James Cameron's film on fastforward…and caffeine…and possibly cocaine. The show captures the little details and turns of phrases that fans will know by heart and cast makes creative use of the ice, never standing still when they have to. Ripley's confrontation with the board that accuses her of destroying the ship from the first film is transformed into humorously blunt exchange, with every party involved skating around each other in menacing circles. The colonial marines searching the seemingly abandoned colony of LV421 becomes a showcase for humorously clumsy figure skating. The subtle relationship between Ripley and Hicks becomes gloriously unsubtle when the two share a brief little spin together on the ice.
These guys may not be professional skaters, but they're not bad. Not bad at all. They're certainly not afraid of the ice and they're not afraid of taking risks. When they do stumble, they play it off beautifully and keep moving. They make the "on ice" part of the show look effortless until they make a mistake and then it becomes a newly improvised joke. Using expert skaters as the aliens is a truly inspired choice and seeing the aliens literally skate circles around the clumsy humans is a genuinely thrilling experience.
"Fun Home," Alison Bechdel's brilliant graphic novel memoir (review here) is being adapted for musical theater:
"My father and I grew up in the same small Pennsylvania town and he was gay and I was gay and he killed himself and I became a lesbian cartoonist," Bechdel's character says in Fun Home.
Kron is a founding member of the theater company Five Lesbian Brothers and an Obie Award winning playwright for her autobiographical play 2.5 Minute Ride.
Tony nominated composer Tesori won the 1999 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music in a play with her compositions for Twelfth Night at Lincoln Center and she also picked up the Obie Award for the score for 1997's off-Broadway show Violet as well as composing 11 new songs for a production of Thouroughly Modern Millie that transferred to Broadway in 2002.

Teller (of Penn & Teller fame) is working on a stage adaptation of William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist. Teller's got an eclectic, less-well-known scholarly/serious bent, having contributed to peer-reviewed work on the neuroscience of magic as well as directing an acclaimed performance of Macbeth. From the early notes, it sounds like this adaptation will play off Teller's advocacy for atheism.
Unlike William Friedkin's film of The Exorcist (which isn't anywhere near the best film of all time, just for the record), this play will "focus on the psychological aspects and questions of faith." At least, that's according to Ken Novice, the MD of New York's Geffen Playhouse, where the play will premiere in July 2012. I can see that the film is at least supposed to focus on those same things, and when it works, it's because it does...
Re the above quotation, Chelsea writes, "I'm the communications coordinator at the Geffen Playhouse, and while I appreciate your recent post on our upcoming production of The Exorcist, there are a few factual errors. First, the Geffen Playhouse is in Los Angeles. Second, Teller is helping out with some of the special effects for the play, but he is not one of the producers nor is he 'bringing the play to the stage.' The Geffen Playhouse is producing the show, John Doyle is directing the show and John Pielmeier is writing the show."

When you try to talk about women's equality issues, it is hard to correlate that with college athletics.
Take the case of Minnesota Duluth Women's Hockey.
Shannon Miller by any measure has been one of the most successful women's hockey coaches since women's hockey gained major college status.
She started the UMD program from scratch and has achieved 5 national championships in 15 years of coaching. Her current team is ranked 6th in the country and has won 12 of its last 13 games.
But apparently that is grounds for dismissal.
The UMD athletic director says ....
"UMD Athletics is not in a position to sustain the current salary levels of our women's hockey coaching staff. However, we remain committed to supporting the Bulldog women's hockey program."
Shannon Miller made $215,000 (her men's counterpart with less tenure and less success makes $235,000; and she offered to take a pay cut). She had two full time assistants (both also fired) and a part-time director of operations (who is also the softball coach- but will no longer be involved in the hockey program).
It is hard to imagine that UMD alumni can seriously believe that UMD is still "committed to supporting the Bulldog women's hockey program"....because if they were, you would not be removing the most essential cog in its success.
Yes, women's hockey does not attract nearly the same fan base that the men's program does....but do you seriously believe that turning out a highly successful coaching staff to begin a completely new program is going to improve attendance?
Not to mention the potential loss of star players, who came to UMD because they were recruited by this successful coach.
This is just more evidence that university athletic directors do not view women's athletics in the same way as the men's counterparts. They do not support them in the same way, they do not promote them in the same way, and they do not hire in the same way.
Yes, the women's programs do not bring in the same kind of revenues - but if your advertising and promotional budgets all go to men's athletics, what do you expect?
Currently women's athletics have to be successful to promote themselves. And apparently, in UMD's case, even that is not enough.
Women have come a long way? Well, in the final analysis, maybe not so much.
