Egeus marches into Theseus's court with his daughter, Hermia, and two young men, Demetrius and Lysander. Egeus wishes Hermia to marry Demetrius (who loves Hermia), but Hermia is in love with Lysander and refuses. Theseus gives Hermia until his wedding to make her decision. Hermia and Lysander plan to escape Athens the following night and marry. They make their intentions known to Hermia's friend Helena, who was once engaged to Demetrius 10 | Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival | and still loves him, even though he loves Hermia. Hoping to regain his love, Helena tells Demetrius of the elopement that Hermia and Lysander have planned. At the appointed time, Demetrius stalks into the woods after Lysander and Hermia. Helena follows behind him. In these same woods are a band of fairies, including Oberon, the fairy king, and Titania, his queen and a group of Athenian craftsmen, rehearsing a play that they hope to perform for the duke and his bride. Oberon and Titania are at odds over the custody of a young changeling boy. Seeking revenge, Oberon sends his servant, Puck, to acquire a magical flower, the juice of which makes a person Summer 2013 fall in love with the first thing they see upon waking. Puck obtains the flower, and Oberon tells him of his plan to use it on the sleeping Titania. Having seen Demetrius act cruelly toward Helena, he orders Puck to spread some of the juice on the eyelids of the young Athenian man. Puck encounters Lysander and Hermia and mistakenly applies the juice to Lysander's eyes. Lysander happens to see Helena upon awaking and falls deeply in love with her, abandoning Hermia. Confusion abounds as the four lovers dote, fight, and fall asleep with a little help from Puck. When Titania wakes, she falls in love with Bottom whose head Puck has mockingly transformed into that of a donkey and while she is under this spell, Oberon obtains the changeling boy. Theseus and Hippolyta discover the sleeping lovers in the forest and take them back to Athens to be married—Demetrius now loves Helena, and Lysander now loves Hermia. After the group wedding, the lovers watch Bottom and his fellow craftsmen perform their play, a fumbling, hilarious version of the story of Pyramus and Thisbe. All is well, and the lovers head off to bed. Only Puck remains, to ask the audience for its forgiveness and approval and to urge us to remember the play as though it had all been a dream.

Director's Note While searching for an approach to A Midsummer Night's Dream I was drawn, rather whimsically, to the music of the "British Invasion" and the idea of setting the play in the mid-1960s. I began to imagine a production of Shakespeare's "Dream" set to early 60's pop music, with the "Mechanicals" (Bottom, Flute, Quince & Co.) as a sort of "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." London in the 1960s was reported by music critic Ian MacDonald to be, "a city in glorious thrall to a thriving youth culture…the place to which we must all look to learn how to act, think and dress." But London's first incarnation as the city that "swings" might well have been at the turn of the 16th century, the final decade of the Elizabethan period, just about the time that the city's greatest pop star, William Shakespeare, penned A Midsummer Night's Dream. While the young in 1590 were hardly "classless," it was a period of great upward mobility, with a vibrant global economy spurred on by expansionism in the New World. London was the center of government, commerce and the arts. Shakespeare's London was also the progenitor of all "youth cultures" to follow. While I have, occasionally, embraced contemporary settings for the Shakespeare plays in my work, I am aware that this approach can be dangerously reductive, leading the director into the role of literary lion tamer, torturing the text into submission in order to keep it in the cage of comparison. The goal, and only real justification, for this production of A Midsummer Night's Dream is to create a look and rhythm that will engage the audience in the text and heighten our awareness of what is timeless in the play. The actions of the young lovers seem particularly suited to the rhythms and sentiment of the early 60's love songs; the fairy world of Oberon and Titania, with their magical "flowerpower," finds a clear equivalent in the spiritual movement inspired by celebrities pilgrimages to India. The lovers' journey to the woods might be viewed, in this context, as a "consciousness-raising trip." Whether or not we have achieved our goal will only be discovered in performance.

The hotel was conveniently located in Waikiki, I loved the cucumber mint water and pineapple iced tea awaiting me in the lobby every time I went back to the hotel. The hotel was clean and well kept. And I liked having a microwave and fridge in the room.
I did not like that every time I or my next door neighbor flushed the toilet that a high pitched noise emanated from the toilet when the tank was being refilled. It was pretty annoying. I also wished that my room had a do not disturb sign for the doorknob

Kudos to Fred Chitwood for having the courage to write about honoring someone of questionable background with a national holiday while virtually ignoring the birthday of a great American military leader. And congratulations to The Times for having the guts to run his letter.
It seems to me that the portion of their pay that the Mexican immigrants send home, to their own families, in their own villages, is the best foreign aid program that the United States has. No bureaucrat in D.C. or Mexico City intervenes. Women and children get the money. That is good for everyone.
Dear Joan King: You have many detractors, but I am certainly not among them. Yours is a voice of reason in an ocean of insanity. While I do not always agree with you, your points are well thought-out and presented. Keep up the good work. We need you.
Thanks to the generous efforts of Gainesville residents, thousands of hurting children worldwide will have the opportunity to experience the joy of Christmas.
This month we observe the birthday of two famous American men. Since it is no longer politically correct to study truth in history, it is only fair and honest for someone to make a comparison of the two individuals in question. I will make a description and you decide the identity of these two men.
Joan King's column about the "right to choose one's death" published Tuesday was irresponsible and reckless. To say that I was taken aback and disgusted is a gross understatement. Ms. King writes some outrageous articles, but this one topped them all.
Has anyone else noticed a proliferation of news stories about Georgia DOT local road programs and about the T-SPLOST vote upcoming, while at the same time the Georgia Newspaper's Partnership Poll (of what citizens want the Georgia General Assembly to work on this year) put the "Roads and Bridges" category at 2 percent preference?
While the Jan. 5 column, "Stuck in the backward land of Absurdia," was very entertaining, I have a couple of questions for Brandon Givens, the columnist:
My first memory of Ed Jenkins was September 1955, the beginning of our friendship as students at the University of Georgia Law School. I was impressed with his wonderful sense of humor, his down-to-earth personality and we had much in common: Ed a product of the mountains and me, a product of the red clay hills of Madison County and the cotton fields. Neither of us grew up with a silver spoon, as did some of our fellow classmates.
There is an old adage that reads "One half the world doesn't understand the other half and it doesn't matter which half you're in." Nowhere, is that truism more obvious than in the campaign battles of an American presidential election.
Alan Shope in his view, "America, let's embrace our true liberal soul" (Friday) selectively defined the word "liberal" to advance his political view.
So community and political organizers in the Latino and African-American communities have begun a push for district voting in Gainesville.
When I was a child, I was fascinated by the liturgy and art of the Roman Catholic Church. I would sneak into the living room on Christmas Eve and watch Midnight Mass from Rome. Being raised in a Baptist church in Southeast Arkansas, it was all so foreign! But something within it resonated within me.
In the midst of the current firestorm raging around the Confederate Battle Flag, intolerant, hate-filled voices demand the eradication of all things remotely associated with Confederate heritage. Quietly seeking but denied permission to be heard are the voices of reason which offer the love of Christ as the remedy for the angst afflicting American society at large.
On April 30, 1789, on Wall Street in New York City, the capital of the United States (at that time), Gen. George Washington had been sworn in as the first president. He and his government staff walked over to a little stone church, which is still standing today close to Ground Zero.
As I am called a bigot, a homophobe, and other names for my stance against gay marriage, I had an awakening thought: As people call me those names, they are also calling Jesus those names since He was the one who defined marriage as being between one man and one woman.
Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has rewritten the long-standing definition of marriage, the same-sex population and their supporters are gleeful while the rest of us are being labeled "intolerant, insensitive and hateful" for clinging to our archaic Biblical beliefs.
A huge thank you to BB&T for benefitting Randy and Friends through their Lighthouse Project. They spent many volunteer hours working to improve the Rooster's Perch Coffeehouse, in addition to the work space where employment and life skills are taught to adults with disabilities.
Concerning climate change, Pope Francis' stance in his Encyclical is very clear. He stated, "A very solid scientific consensus indicates that we are presently witnessing a disturbing warming of the climatic system," and "scientific studies indicate that most global warming is due to the great concentration of greenhouse gases released mainly as a result of human activity. Climate change is a global problem with grave implications."
I wanted to attend the Hall County budget meetings but couldn't. This is what I would have said:
The 2 percent, or less, of our population identified as LGBT are not being picked on. Rather, their bullying is being resisted. Nobody cares what other people are doing relationally in the privacy of their homes (no bomb building, please). We do care how our children are educated and about our Biblical values such as sanctity of marriage.
I have lots of words regarding Dick's column regarding our dad, but think only one is appropriate: Amen!
Last week, our country and our community received a command, not merely a call. We must reach deep inside our hearts and heads to find ways to reach people before they become unreachable, such as the young man responsible for the tremendous tragedy in Charleston.
The other day I read a small notice that our illustrious city council was considering "improving the square." I had lunch at the square the other day, sat outside and had a nice time just looking. I found the square looked very nice - nothing needs to be done.
Just like the Roman emperor Constantine did 1800 years ago, the "powers that be" continue to politicize Jesus for their own personal gain. And Christians continue to be vulnerable. Traditional theology hasn't helped much.
On more than one occasion, I have taken pen to paper to offer my criticism of your newspaper. It is expected that we subscribers will do that. When a newspaper does something that I feel is commendable, I will also offer my praise as well as extending my subscription another quarter.

SOUTH WHITLEY — Since Advance Disposal started servicing trash pick up in the town of South Whitley, residents have experienced a bit of a learning curve when knowing what will and won't be hauled away.
Even town council members were confused by what the agreement signed between the town and Advance Disposal had specified.
Residents who attended Tuesday's town council meeting offered numerous concerns with the new service. There were some issues with the collection containers being too big at 96 gallons.
COLUMBIA CITY — Whether police officers are fighting crimes, creating safer neighborhoods, or patrolling the streets in Columbia City, many would agree that their relationships with children are important.
Experts say that the way police interact with children in a community can have a significant impact on police effectiveness and safety.
Whitley County's law enforcement officers can be spotted in local schools on a daily basis, and their efforts don't go unnoticed — especially by the students and Principal Julie Turpin at Mary Raber Elementary School.
David W. Harriett, 75, of Columbia City, passed away at 7:50 a.m. Thursday, May 16, 2013, at the home of his daughter in Bluffton. He was born Wednesday, Oct. 13, 1937, in Bluffton.
He married Heidi (Wiegmann) Saturday, Dec. 16, 2000 in Bluffton. Mr. Harriett retired from Phelps-Dodge in Fort Wayne as a computer programmer. David was a 1955 graduate of Pennville High School, a member of the Pennville Masonic Lodge where he received his 50 year pin in May, and a member of the First Church of Christ in Bluffton.
Eugene E. Pflueger, 83, of Big Lake, Columbia City, passed away at 12:43 a.m. Thursday, May 16, 2013 at Parkview Whitley Hospital. He was born January 12, 1930, in Fort Wayne, the son of Henry Oscar and Mildred Ruth (Dennis) Pflueger.
Surviving relatives include his wife, daughter, five grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, two sisters, and brother.
Rosalie Steller, 85 passed away Jan. 9, 2013, in Meza, Ariz. Graveside services will be held May 22 at 10 a.m. at the South Whitley Cemetery. DeMoney-Grimes Counryside Park Funeral Home is handling the services.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Don't look for the outcry over the Internal Revenue Service's improper targeting of tea party groups to subside with the ouster of the agency's acting commissioner.
Three congressional committees are investigating and the FBI is looking into potential civil rights violations at the IRS, Attorney General Eric Holder said.
Other potential crimes include making false statements to authorities and violating the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in some partisan political activities, Holder said.
Mary Raber Elementary School recently announced its May Shining Stars.
Students are named this monthly program for "doing the right thing and treating people right."
COLUMBIA CITY — Due to the Memorial Day holiday, the City of Columbia City has announced a revised trash pick up schedule. There will be no collections Monday for trash and recycling.
Monday collections will be made Tuesday. Tuesday collections will be done Wednesday. Wednesday collections will be made Thursday and Thursday collections will be made Friday. Friday collections will be made on Saturday.
This schedule change applies to both trash and recycling pick up.

Motivated by personal tragedy, former Sopranos star Lorraine Bracco turned her life around with diet and exercise. In her new self-help book, To the Fullest: The Clean Up Your Act Plan to Lose Weight, Rejuvenate and Be the Best You Can Be, Bracco, 60, recalls how James Gandolfini's untimely death from a heart attack in 2013 was a wake-up call. The death of her parents, too, weighed heavily on the actress; in 2011, they died within nine days of each other. (Bracco, who played Dr. Jennifer Melfi on The Sopranos, writes in To the Fullest that Dominic Chianese, who played Uncle Junior in the HBO mob drama, »

Edward Herrmann was a master of character, one of those actors who could be counted on to deliver no matter what else was happening on the screen or stage.
Herrmann, who died Wednesday at the age of 71, was famously adept at playing historical figures, from Franklin Delano Roosevelt (many times, most recently as the voiceover in Ken Burns' "The Rooosevelts: An Intimate History") to Lou Gehrig, William Randolph Hearst (in Peter Bogdanovich's "The Cat's Meow"), Raymond Massey (in biopic "James Dean"), Joseph Breen (enforcer of Hollywood's Production code from the 1930s-50s), Nelson Rockefeller, Alger Hiss, Fred Friendly and George Bernard Shaw.
Herrmann also had a face that was born to play priests, cops, dads and nondescript world leaders. Reviewing the 1999 NBC miniseries "Atomic Train," Variety declared that Herrmann's turn as the U.S. commander-in-chief was just about the only redeeming quality of the limp thriller »

thats so cool i wish i had the space to make somthing like that
thats so cool i wish i had the space to make somthing like that
I can't believe you just posted pictures from the actual ride and said they were your models... and then superimposed a giant cat at the end for effect! j/k
The models are great and look realistic. The light looks exactly to the ride's equivalent. You should be an architect major or something? We did projects in college like this all the time for grades.
AWESOME VERY CREATIVE! I did something similar when i was 13 but it was the HM in my garage during halloween...
That's so cool! Amazing what you can do with a lot of time on your hands!
Hey guy, that 's pretty good. I am wondering through, do dead cats tell no 'tails'?

Ah, how strange! The molecules are so active now!
Fantastic and very cool! Model building builds character and skills.
Reminds me of the time that my brother's and I tried to recreate POTC in our garage one halloween with much less success (this was before HM opened so I guess that dates me).
Great job!
Really wonderful!I can't imagine the time, everything is so accurate!Thanks for showing us.
Goin around the world...and back to Disneyland!
Very cool. I thought when looking at it that is was a small tabletop model, then the picture of the cat came up and I thought, my it's big! Great job and something very unique and one of a kind. Thanks for sharing.
Peter Pan Forever!!! I Will Never Grow Up.
Thank You Poisonedapples
Very cool!
Wonderful job. You really have a skill with lighting and texture. That's EVERYTHING people get wrong when they attempt something like this, and the fact that you got it so perfectly in such a short amount of time is not only frightening, but absoutely worthy of praise! I even like your sculpting of the pirates... you made it almost avent guarde with your own flair, yet it still reflects the original. Please make sure to document this as much as you can, maybe even get a friend to videotape a walkthrough of it, followed by a lit overview. You can defenitely use it in the future when you want to impress a certain company
Oh.... and just a tip to get those 'flames' working (I hope this helps): use a very very light silk material (white or translucent) lit with a bright flickering light with a red gel, followed by a counter flickering light with an orange gel. Then you have your WDI 'fire'.
that is awesome! you really put a lot of effort into it, looks great! good job! wish i was that dedicated....i would have given up after like 2 weeks!
