MOUNT VERNON — The Distinguished Young Women of Ohio scholarship program participants took the stage Friday night at Mount Vernon's Memorial Theater with a spirited musical opening. During the event, three "Be Your Best Self" Award scholarships were given, as well as, a cash scholarship for the program's Spirit Award.
A $350 cash scholarship was presented to each of the two "Be Your Best Self" Award finalists, Raquel Gonzalez, West Montgomery County, and Sienna Gerdeman, Northern Putnam County. The overall "Be Your Best Self" Award winner was Julia Shappert, Pickaway County. She received a $500 scholarship.
The Distinguished Young Women Spirit Award winner was nominated by her peers in the program. Haley Snyder, Northern Allen County, received the 2013 award and a $500 scholarship.
This year's program is emceed by the mother/daughter team of Dana Ullom-Vucelich and Jenna Vucelich. The women are well-suited to the task, because they were also scholarship program participants.
All of this year's program judges were also past Junior Misses or Distinguished Young Women. A separate panel of judges evaluates the academic portion of the program.
The emcees were assisted, at times, by 2012 Distinguished Young Woman of Ohio Stephanie Marie Yasechko. Not only did Yasechko help keep the program moving, she also entertained the audience with baton twirling routines choreographed with dance.
Ullom-Vucelich interviewed Yasechko about her experience in the state competition.

Marion County
Located near Weirsdale, this 5,685-acre lake is somewhat atypical for a Florida lake, with an irregular bottom and depths exceeding 20 feet. The FWC maintains 12 brush fish attractors which are successfully utilized by many anglers. The attractors were refurbished with new brush in January 2010. These attractors can be easily spotted by the large yellow marker buoys. FWC is also experimenting with Fish-in-a-Barrel attractors (FIAB) on Lake Weir. These are PVC cubes surrounding PVC barrel halves that were designed to provide structure without snagging tackle. These attractors are marked by yellow buoys with blue caps. If you would like to participate in an FWC survey of the fish attractors, or for GPS coordinates for the attractors, contact our fisheries biologists at 352-732-1225.
Lake Weir is a good choice to catch big panfish. The fish are typically in the maidencane or on the edge of it. Fishing with a worm on bottom near the edge of the maidencane is a good way to start. If this fails, try moving into the weeds with a cane pole and fishing with grass shrimp.
FWC Facts:The FWC's Angler Tag Return Hotline, 800-367-4461, collects data regarding tagged fish that anglers have captured or sighted in Florida waters.

Extend the tonal range of your Strat.
It's a great-sounding bridge even without the pickups, and its special piezo crystal employs 2 deflection modes to give you shimmering highs and rich lows. The output level is comparable to that of a stock Strat and it will plug directly into most guitar amps with fine results. Its tremolo has a Delrin arm bushing for silky-smooth operation. Mounts with six screws and will fit older Strats without bridge posts.

New to the forum. Firstly I would like to say "Thank you" to everyone out there who have shared thier stories, experiences, and insight with regard to PE. This forum and website have been immensely helpful. THANK YOU!
My question is in regard to recurring PE. Did your subsequent pregnancy "feel" the same before you were diagnosed with PE a second time? Did it recur around the same gestational age? Were there indicators early on (like elevated AFP test or abnormal uterine doppler scans) that something was on the horizon?
I had severe PE and Class II HELLP Syndrome last time around (13 years ago - I'm 40 now.) I presented with symptoms at 26 weeks, hospitalized at 27 weeks. My son was delivered at 30 weeks. Currently I am seeing an MFM who put my risk of recurrence at about 30-40%. I am currently 27 weeks. I had an abnormal AFP result on the triple screen test (no abnormalities according to ultrasound...phew!) and my uterine doppler at 24 weeks showed both notching on the left side and absence of diastolic flow on the right. Baby is behind in growth (24th centile) - she's currently measuring at 24 weeks though I am 27 weeks along. No IUGR diagnosis as of yet. I have no underlying medical issues. My non-pregnant BP is on the low end (90-110/60). My BP's have been normal up until a couple weeks ago - I am now consistently in the 120-130/85 range. Not high enough to go in - but it's high for me. And they seem to be going consistently up. So far only trace protien in my urine.
I physically feel the same this pregnancy as I did with the last - which is in general pretty horrible. I have yet to experience the "honeymoon" phase of the second trimester I read so much about. I am convinced I am on the road to having PE again based on the abnormal results so far and on the way I feel physically in general when I compare it to my last pregnancy.
I guess I am looking for some reassurance that my anxiety about recurence is justified (and that I need to get on the ball and start shopping for car seats!) - either that or maybe I am putting too much weight on my past experience and current test results that may or may not indicate PE (depending on what study you are looking at - Grrrrr....)
I appreciate your thoughts.

Tending a backyard vegetable patch or growing herbs on your windowsill are by no means new ideas, but it's impossible to ignore the recent explosion in popularity of urban gardening. Transcending mere trend, gardening is once again in the mainstream of modern living, even – or perhaps especially – for city dwellers. As during World War II, when Victory Gardeners were digging their way to produce during wartime, home gardening has once again taken on a feeling of urgency, as well as providing a frugal avenue toward self-sufficiency.

Urban Gardening
Now Haus
In the late 1990s, one of modernism's great works of architecture was discovered abandoned and in wild disrepair. Known as the "E-1027 House", Irish architect and furniture designer Eileen Gray had built the stark, rectilinear, Bauhaus-inspired home overlooking the rich Mediterranean azure in Southern France in 1926. Jutting from the craggy cliffside like an eighties drug-den from Miami Vice, the house gave many powerful impressions. Warmth was not one of them. That was until French newspapers began publishing pictures of the house after it had been vandalized and lived in by local street punks. READ MORE…
Isabel Antonia Giampietro
Glassware designer and sculptor Isabel Antonia Giampietro died March 30, 2010 in New York at the age of 92. Her most prolific years were in the 1950s, a time when very few women worked in design. Her pieces were unique; The New York Times describes her glassworks as being "as graceful as they are innovative". She developed a technique to make the stem of a drinking glass from one piece creating extremely strong glassware that was more efficient to produce. She also designed goblets, where the stem doubles as another glass. READ MORE…
History of the Umbrella
During the late 18th century, London was full of strange characters who attracted attention to themselves for one reason or another, but perhaps none so much as Jonas Hanway. A former merchant who spent several years working in Persia and Russia, Hanway was known for his eccentricities as well as his near mythic travel stories. He was wholeheartedly dedicated to various philanthropic activities, including governing an asylum for women and the poor, and writing tracts about problems within the British prison system.

Cured Meat
Like any good American kid, I grew up eating floppy baloney on white bread. And like any uninspired Manhattan office worker, I ambled down to the nearest deli and got slices of salami — hot pink and encased in branded, shrink-wrap plastic that the sandwich guy would peel back to measure out my portion. It was salty and tasted fine between sliced bread with a handful of shredded iceberg lettuce, or at least it seemed that way from inside my cubicle. Then I moved to Europe.
Letterpress Printing
It's all been said before. It's all been seen before. Nothing is new. Or at least this would be one way of looking at recent cultural output, which has amounted to a retrograde immersion in the past. 1980s remakes clog the movie process from pitch to multiplex, fashion revisits deceased designs, the clamor for the posthumous tomes of exhumed esoteric authors — all roads lead backwards.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Divock Origi's dad claims Liverpool are favourites to sign the Belgium World Cup striker from Lille.
However Mike Origi says another club want the teenager, who has been linked with Tottenham, and that his future should be resolved by Monday.
Liverpool have shaken on a £10million deal with Lille and have agreed to loan Origi back to the French club for next season.
The Reds have been waiting to confirm the transfer, but his father claims his son is still considering his future.
"The deal isn't done yet," Mike Origi told Mediahuis. "Liverpool is still the most concrete option.
"There's another team that shows interest. We want to take a decision soon. On Monday, Divock is expected back at for their first training session.
"We would like to have everything wrapped before that day."

Joining the University of Washington
A number of things have kept me busy over the last few months, and so I return to writing after a while.

I will be majoring in Arabic and Islamic Studies – the subject I have been passionate about for the last ten years. My matriculation in this program provides me with an invaluable opportunity to learn it formally with some of the renowned … [Read More]

I agree with you mitchum that Arkansas is pretty good. But what have they proved? Isn't that the point of the article?
Dude, you are seriously comparing a ranked Penn State team to I-AA Tennessee Tech and La-Monroe?
I'll have what chopblock is smoking.
He was considering Alabama and Tennessee. Alabama lost out. What part do you not get nutty? It's still a great class.
You are right. Not good enough. Just like Phillip Rivers, Jerricho Cotchery, Adalius Thomas, Brian Thomas, Kerry Rhodes ...
Plenty of guys "weren't good enough" and did just fine.
Good luck, Maudrecus. I've enjoyed watching you play. I've met your dad a few times and your family is a class act.
What a crude thing to say. I'm a Vanderbilt fan and I thought these odds were interesting. You need theraphy Doc.
It's loveliest village on the plain. Always has been, always will be.
Thank you, JMUAB and randomguy123, for bringing some common sense to these comments.
If true, it's a crime. But let the courts try him first.
I hope Auburn beats Ole Miss. But what's changed in the last few weeks to indicate Auburn even has a shot?
I'd love Georgia to beat Florida, but what has Georgia done to indicate they can even hang with the Bulldogs?
Ole Miss 28, Auburn 6.
Florida 28, Georgia 10.
Arkansas 59-0
Kentucky 21-20
41-9? Hope you're right. Classy post, by the way. Makes me glad I'm a Vanderbilt grad.
bpin, those are legit concerns. There is corruption in Alabama politics, from Birmingham to Montgomery. Alas, we can't just shut the entire state down and start over.
The starting money is there and has been there for over two years. I've lived here 50 years and Birmingham is the city of unfulfilled promises. Finally we're moving ahead.
Other cities realized that decades ago. We sit on our hands and knees and whine.
The Silverdome is not a comparison (someone mentioned it early) because it was built 35 miles outside the city center. That's why it was considered a failure. This project is city center. My office is less than a mile away. Some of you have stereotypes. Where I work is thriving.
FinalVoice, great comment. Now tell us what the hell it means.
Yeah, he missed the Alabama-Virginia Tech one bad. What was the score at the end of the third quarter? Virginia Tech 17-16? Doug I'd take 10 of 11 any week. And if my math is correct you were a field goal away from nailing that one. Don't be so hard on yourself.
And since you asked:
I think Alabama beats Fla. Intl bad.
Auburn squeaks by Miss St.
LSU needs a late TD to beat my beloved Commodores.
Those are the only three that matter to me. I think UGA will win, but you nailed them last week.
PS Sorry to hear about your uncle. I knew your Dad through years working in law circles. He was a good man. And this was his twin brother?
Doug says: rock, yes, my dad's twin. Dad persecuted 'em and Neill saved 'em. He was a Presbyterian minister.
After seeing the aftermath of the Oregion-Boise State fight, I think Gundy has a good point.
I think Top 10 matchups are great. If you win, you have momentum. If you lose a competitive game, you barely drop and are still in the picture. I wish there were more of them.
Congrats to Saban for taking this on.
au, they're all guesses. That's why they play the games.
Doug, didn't you pick Alabama to lose to Florida and Utah last year? That's my memory. I hope that's accurate.
Doug says: rock, I didn't pick both losses. I picked Florida to win the SEC and I predicted Utah would give Alabama fits -- but not win the game.
I still think Alabama was the better team going into the Sugar Bowl. I just thought Utah was much better than advertised.
Very good article. For the whiners out there: get back to your third-grade homework.
No wonder Alabama fans have the worst rep in the country. Wah! Wah! Wah!
(I apologize to the majority of you who act with class. I'm a Vanderbilt guy and I've always loved Alabama football. But you have a vocal minority who consistently make fools out of themselves and embarrass everyone).
trace, I respectfully disagree. I go all over the country and think the Birmingham News has some of the best writing in the country. They're not all cheerleaders and as a fan of another SEC team I appreciate that.
I'd still take him as my basketball coach.
I'm a Vandy fan who reads this and other al.com blogs for entertainment. You guys usually entertain me.
But the great majority of you have shown so much class today, I've had no fun.
Seriously, it's nice to read when both Alabama and Auburn fans show class.

'Global governance' has become a key concept in the contemporary study of international politics across a variety of usually discrete disciplines (international relations, politics, economics, sociology, development studies). This text provides an introduction to and exploration of the practices of global governance in contemporary international politics. It consists of a series of discrete case studies written by specialists on the most important areas within global governance including: Health Poverty Conflict Finance The Environment Corruption Human Rights Communication The Internet Each chapter is written to a standard template and asks the key questions: What is being governed and why? Who are key actors involved? What are the key mechanisms of governance? What are the problems and issues that arise in this area? In addition each chapter contains several case studies to illustrate the broader issues being discussed. The empirical elements of each case study provides students with a grounding in how to think both in concrete problem-solving terms and apply critical understandings of global governance to its modern day processes.

There have been some True Blood casting videos for certain characters posted recently; for example Governor Burrell and Wes. The Wes one has been posted for about a week now in the internet world but we just saw it today. If this casting audition is any indication of things to come in Season 6 of True Blood, then I think they need to go back to the drawing…..errrrrr writing board. I am serious because a couple of these lines come straight out of a cheesy prono! I got proof for you,just you wait!
Wes:"You can torture me all you want but I'm still not gonna rape that girl for you"
Then I guess it is a different scene from the video.
Girl:"Remember me?"
Wes:"Of course I do"
Girl: "We've got like five minutes. You want to sit?"
Wes: "Sure"
Girl: "What's your name?"
Wes: "Wes,you?"
Wes: "Nice to meet you Tessa, I mean officially"
Now here comes the best part,TRUST ME!!
Tessa:"Why didn't you do it? It would have been so much easier if you had just f*cked me but you…"
Now tell me that is not a CHEESY ass line from a really bad porno?! All pornos are bad but come on, this is is supposed to be True Blood, not some stupid low budget porno film. I have no idea if this is actual dialogue for this upcoming season or not but if it is, then HOUSTON we have a problem.
As a fan who wants to see some quality and talent (outside of the acting) brought back to this show,I feel like I am getting screwed over 6 ways from Sunday! I don't want to hear lines that are 'cheesier than a cheese pizza', if I did then I would not be watching True Blood! I seriously hope that this 'casting audition' was just one big dumb joke for I may not make it through the upcoming season! I wish this show's writers would get their act together! Rant Over and that is it for this edition of 'Just my Fangpinion' (for now) so until next time, see ya!!
P.S. If you would like to see the video that I swear I am not making up, join our forum and you can see it here. Come one and come all….ooopppsss that sounded like a cheesy line from a bad porno too huh? Well, if TRUE BLOOD can do, then so can I!!

Throwback: Katie Horn's Time-tested Volkswagen Jetta
Nowadays it seems as though cars are becoming more and more disposable. We see cars get built for an extended period of time, revealed at a big car show or feature, and then quickly disassembled or sold. On the flipside, there are cars that owners become attached to, and for lack of a better term, have a longer relationship that lasts; sometimes the better half of a decade, or in some cases even longer. Katie has maintained ownership of her '99 Volkswagen Jetta for over seven years now, and she has no intention to part ways any time soon.

Let's Be Honest: Robbie Erickson's Insane Subaru Forester
Time and time again, we stumble upon cars that really break the mold. Cars and owners that are doing things that we would never expect to be done seem to become more scarce every year. Robbie and his '98 Subaru Forester have done exactly that. This generation of Subaru's family hauler wagon takes the brunt of the negativity surrounding its existence. When I first saw photos of Robbie's car scattered across various social media outlets, I knew right away this car was something special.

All Roads Lead to Helen: Southern Wörthersee 2014 Official Coverage (Part 1)
Every year thousands of cars invade a quaint Bavarian themed town with the beautiful mountain backdrop of Western Georgia. The chaos that follows the first wave of arrivals is a blur of scraping subframes, smokey burnouts, cases upon cases of beer and of course those all too familiar flashing red and blue lights. The field of cars attending Southern Wörthersee features a wide range of chassis' and styles from air-cooled all the way up to the most recent to-be-released models. It's a mixture of flawless paint, eye-popping wraps, unique dips and timeless patina that seem pair perfectly with the modifications that adorn these builds.

Verändern: Christian Quatz's German Opel Rat Rod
The rat rod scene has always seemed somewhat elusive. The owners stick to themselves for the most part, while still maintaining a sort of "core" that know each other and the cars that they spend their weekends wrenching on. From the outside looking in these gear heads seem to have quite the niche, but the rat rod scene is far broader than I had previously thought. Christian Quatz and his Opel rat rod out of Germany are proof that this scene is alive and well even outside of the United States.

Critical Acclaim: Jeremy Hedin's Volkswagen CC R-Line
In the Volkswagen and European car scene it's pretty common to see the typical Golfs and Jettas getting all the attention and aftermarket support from manufacturers. It's when cars such as the lesser common Volkswagen family members hit the scene in such a radical way that really makes peoples heads turn. Jeremy's claim to fame resides in the sneaker community with his wild array of shoes, and it's only fitting that his car makes a bold statement as well. His Volkswagen CC R-Line has taken grasp of our attention and will not let go, this thing is a stunner!

Compare, Contrast: Jaycee Ceron's Subaru Impreza WRX
Right off the bat it's pretty plain to see that Jaycee took his once stock Subaru and transformed it into something special. In most cases patience is key, and Jaycee's Subaru is no exception. Building a car for himself and nobody else, Mr. Ceron shows us how to combine old school flavor with new school styling.
The Subaru Impreza has been around since the early '90s. Sporting its fair share of facelifts and trim packages, the newest version of Impreza has been an enthusiast favorite with its wider front and rear wings which provide for some aggressive wheel setups. Waiting almost eight months for his wheels to arrive, Jaycee received multiple calls from VR Wheels out of Los Angeles. while being given other options since the wait was much longer than anticipated. Jaycee stuck to his guns and the wait was well worth it. His choice to go with the timeless BBS RS weave is simply superb. A custom 18"x10" setup with slant lips and low offsets you just cannot get better fitment than this, wow!

When Stars Align: Khalid Mohammed's Subaru STI
Subaru's rich automotive history can be traced back to two triumphs in the automotive world; their prevalence in WRC, and their all wheel drive system introduced back in 1972. Now, it was inevitable that owners of these cars would begin to step out of the comfort zone that was "rally", and begin to adopt the trending styles of modification. For Khalid and his STI, it took a bit of warming up to become what it is today. The first 2 years of ownership saw minimal modification; simple bolt-ons and small aesthetic tweaks began an all too familiar path that spirals us enthusiasts into a full-blown project car.

Goggles has been used for some time, anti-fogging effect, reached out, I want to sum up of the following four main categories friends tour defogging method:
(A) the aerosol------professional
Special spray coating on the cheap ray bans lenses, can prevent fog, but fog cannot be coated evenly!! After the coating has a lot of brush marks to inhalations, glasses been not clear, but it could prevent a fog.
(Ii) Washing Ling \ bath \ shampoo-------life form
a washed spirit too much, especially the first time, gently smudge finger belly mirror, 5 minutes. Both positive and negative. Washed. Repeat once. To achieve the mirror-no bubble water level. Look, bright and clean as new! Having to wash Ling tried to rinse completely clean. Anti-fogging effect is very good! Each time you run out, all in the wash spirit, old fresh calendar! 啊..... Cool world is back!
B each finished swimming, washing detergent a few drops, drops on the lens, over gently with a finger. Wait until time to go swimming, with clear water to rinse it. Must flush the cleaner, or you'll kill your eyes. (Be careful not to wipe hard with your hand, or you will scratch the lens. Trouble than the fog)
C try with a shower the size of a grain of mung liquid or shampoo clean the face in the mirror, and then flush with water. Goggle became step. But usually swim Dai sunglasses adjusting the elastic; do not swim in a circle back to remove goggles, to be wearing.
D each finished swimming, washing detergent a few drops, drops on the lens, over Scrub gently with a washcloth or facial sponge, again with clear water to rinse it. Some prominent clean or cause irritation to the eyes. 3-7 of the day
E there is a good way, with Johnson BB shower gel, at each end of the ray ban outlet swimming goggles slightly inside and wash well, definitely not the second time mist
C) contact lens cleaning solution------intellectuals
A if there are conditions, and after each swim home, contact lens care solution, drop a few drops. The lens up until then when launching, with water. On the line. This is way better than the first. Not to hurt the eyes, but ordinary people do not prepare such maintenance fluids. If not expensive, optical shop and buy a bottle.
D) saliva------eight-way
A need not be so complicated, with the tongue added click on OK
B before each launching, with his tongue licking over lens, and water wash it again. Can fog for more than an hour.
C whenever the lenses fog, just take it off the mirror, on each of the lenses on the spit a mouthful of saliva, and then using your fingers, gently wipe, water erosion. And then put on ray ban wayfarer sunglasses. Eyes clear immediately.

A chapter from Following Sir Fred's Steps - Ashton's Legacy, the published proceedings of the conference on the choreographer Sir Frederick Ashton and his work, held at Roehampton University in 1994, and edited by Stephanie Jordan and Andrée Grau.
Two Letters
Few letters survive from Frederick Ashton to his friend and mentor, Marie Rambert. She did, however, keep material of real importance to herself, and among her collection of papers at the Rambert Dance Company archive are two written at significant times in Ashtons life. Although neither is dated and the envelopes in which they were sent have not survived, the first originates from late August 1928, when Ashton had been in Paris for about a month as a member of Ida Rubinsteins company; the second was written in the summer of 1935 and explains Ashtons decision to become a full member of Ninette de Valois Vic-Wells Ballet. To place the letters in context it is important to remember the range of Ashtons experience during the first decade of his career in dance - a decade of enormous variety and opportunity, opportunities that Ashton would generally seize, and which provided the base for his subsequent career.
The decade under consideration begins in 1925 when, on 10 April, twenty-year-old Frederick Ashton stepped on stage at the Palace Pier, Brighton, as a member of the Duenna Dancers for a special Good Friday performance; it runs through to the autumn of 1935 when Ashton accepted the security provided by de Valois, becoming chief choreographer and a principal dancer for the Vic-Wells Ballet.
It gave me a regular salary, which I hadnt had before, and I was immensely appreciative of the luxury of using proper dancers at last and having proper facilities. (Dominic & Gilbert, 1971, p. 76)
Even before this decade began, Ashton had seen the dancers whose images infiltrate so many of his works. Anna Pavlova had excited him with her extraordinary grace and plasticity (Dominic & Gilbert, 1971, p.76) in Lima, Peru, in spring 1917; and later, in London, he would watch her at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. In April 1921 Isadora Duncan inspired him with her marvellous tragic impact and wonderful run. Even when she was galumphing around she was still very impressive (McDonagh, 1970, p. 18). And he had had the opportunity to see Diaghilevs Ballets Russes on many occasions. Precise choreographic details from the performances he saw found their way into his own later choreography - the Gavotte Pavlova enchaînement which became the signature Fred Step1 and the rose petals streaming from Duncans hands as she ran downstage2 are the most obvious examples, but films documenting early ballets, such as Mars and Venus3 clearly show the influence of Massine and Nijinska. Some of the reviews of A Tragedy of Fashion suggest it could be regarded as a spoof on Ballets Russes choreography, a perfectly valid interpretation when another item in the Riverside Nights revue was a send-up of Chekhov.4 In the long run, however, it is the style and movement quality of the great performers he saw, and the choreography in which they danced, that had a lasting impact.
At the outset of his training Ashton took a few Cecchetti-based classes from Léonide Massine before being sent to Marie Rambert for tuition. When Ashton could afford it, he took classes with other teachers, for example with Nicolas Legat, but Rambert welcomed him back even when he could not pay for class. Quickly they became real friends, and she was enormously supportive of his early endeavours. As Ashton acknowledged in one of his last interviews, Rambert was an extraordinary cultured woman, well-read and . her presence alone was a constant source of stimulation (Wohlfahrt 1988, p. 56). Ramberts concern to develop her students all-round awareness of the arts, so that they acquired a full cultural education, surely influenced Ashtons own self-educative preparation for productions - what he often referred to as his homework - immersing himself in relevant music, literature and visual arts. It is a view expounded in his first article on choreography in the Dancing Times in May 1930:
Anyone contemplating the arrangement of a ballet should first become so well acquainted and imbued with the spirit of whatever period he chooses to portray as to allow the style to flow naturally and unselfconsciously through his work, inspired by the music, and avoiding always exaggeration of style which leads to mannered as opposed to truthful conception. Thus saturated he is free to take inspiration from whatever conflicting sources it may come, and frequently these may be as diverse as the painting of Breughel, or provincial musical comedy. (Ashton, 1930, p. 124)
Although the pictorial and literary base for Ashtons works could be significant - and his earliest choreography included Capriol Suite (partly inspired by Arbeaus Orchésographie), and La Péri, Foyer de danse and Four Saints in Three Acts evoking Persian miniatures, sketches of ballet dancers by Degas, and the paintings by artists as varied as Giotto, Goya and El Greco respectively - it is a mistake to overemphasise the importance of narrative and pictorial elements in ballets of great choreographic beauty. Ashton himself claimed:
And consciously, all through my career, I have been working to make ballet independent of literary and pictorial motives If the ballet is to survive, it must survive through its dancing qualities . it is the dance that must be paramount. (Ashton, 1951, p. 33)
This belief in the importance of choreography in its own right was one he shared with Rambert, and through her teaching he acquired a real appreciation of style. They both loved the choreography of Marius Petipa and many of Ramberts classes would end with enchaînements drawn from variations from The Sleeping Beauty.
Within the 1925-35 decade Ashton worked on many stages. Among them were the tiniest venues in London, including the Trocadero, where he danced in his own and Buddy Bradleys choreography in late-night cabaret for a year, April l932335; the Mercury, where Marie Ramberts Dancers gave three long seasons in 1931, and another in 1934; as well as regular Ballet Club performances on Sunday evenings and Thursday matinees;6 and the Arts Theatre where he appeared in Lydia Lopokovas 1930 Masque of Poetry, Music and Dancing.7 But he also performed and later choreographed for the largest London venues. These included productions in huge cinemas - the Shepherds Bush Pavilion and the Regal at Marble Arch - performing divertissements accompanying films; and variety programmes at the London Coliseum and at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden during the 1928 Italian Opera season. In addition he was seen at major British touring venues with the Nemchinova- Dolin Ballet in the autumn of 1927,8 as well as the other major European opera houses in Paris, Brussels and Milan during the 1928-29 tour with Ida Rubinsteins company. Ashtons appearance in such a great range of presentations, both artistic and commercial, enabled him to learn his craft very thoroughly.
Ashton had considerable experience as a performer before joining Ida Rubinsteins company. What he gained most from the experience of working with that particular organisation was an apprenticeship as a choreographer. Ashton had begun to choreograph in London by being bullied to arrange works for Rambert, whose own perceptive eye guided his efforts; but in the Parisian studio, with Bronislava Nijinska he could study a master choreographer at work. Nijinska created seven original ballets while Ashton was a member of the company,9 and regularly taught daily class. As Ashton later said her classes were sort of choreographic lessons, and in two interviews he observed:
The thing that a choreographer needs is an eye. He has to do his training through his eye Nijinska, in particular, helped me tremendously. I never took my eyes off her when I was with Rubinstein. I used to come and watch all her rehearsals, just to see her work. I used to sit in the corner all day long, just watching her. (Dominic & Gilbert, 1971, p.31)
I was totally captivated by her personality, by the way she spoke and tackled problems. To someone like myself who had meanwhile decided to become a choreographer, she probably transmitted more than to a dancer. (Wohlfahrt, 1988, p. 56)
From the readily accessible information on Ida Rubinsteins company it is difficult to judge its true merits. The most frequently quoted source is Diaghilevs dismissive letters to Serge Lifar, damning every aspect of the productions during the opening season of four performances at the Paris Opéra (Lifar, 1954, pp. 269-73). Diaghilevs opinions were those of a jealous rival whose own company would follow Rubinsteins into the Opéra,10 and certainly newspaper reviews were more enthusiastic. Nevertheless the company was hindered by Rubinsteins insistence on starring in each ballet. Her determination and stellar personality could not compensate for lack of technique in ballerina roles, however carefully choreographed. Ashton described her as absolutely hopeless . All the work that we did, building up for her entrances, would always sag right down when she appeared (McDonagh, 1976, p. 15).

When Ashton wrote to Rambert, the dancers had been rehearsing with Nijinska for about a month. The letter, eight pages long but all one paragraph, is writtenin a way that suggests the ink just flowed from Ashtons pen as he tried to convey the excitement of the work. At the top he has added a postscript: Please excuse grammatical errors, spelling & punctuation & writing, in fact everything. The letter is written from the apartment he had been lent by Lennox Berkeley, 4 rue du Ruisseau, in the eighteenth arrondissement, north of Montmartre. Later he moved to the Hotel St Georges in the centre of Paris.11 He repeatedly recalled that at this time he lacked money for regular baths (Macaulay, 1984, p. 3),12 but while with Rubinstein he could certainly afford to buy books (Morris, 1994, p. 131; Nugent, 1994) and sheet music his Gymnopédie No. 2 by Erik Satie, acquired in Paris in 1929, survives in the Rambert archive.

The letter reads:
My very dear Mim
I hope you wont consider that you have had to wait a long time for this letter but if so it is only that I might have the more to say to you. Life is very strange here or so it still seems to me & I never realised before how really far Paris is removed from London, as a town itis more beautiful but for everything else give me London, from a work point of view Paris it is undoubtedly better no distractions and no friends, but rather lonely at times & though in my heart of hearts I am not liking life here I feel as though I had known no other, so concentrated is it on one purpose & there seems no other existence outside the village life of the Salle Janffroy. The Company is very large & the competition very keen indeed, but I am by no means the worst dancer & I think that though Nijinska has no especial reason for liking me from the point of view of work or life she is not entirely negative to me & that is already something in so big a company. Nijinska is a wonderful woman more wonderful than I had even imagined, her efficiency is overwhelming & her knowledge & vitality something quite super-human & inspiring. She gives a brilliant class, very difficult & never dull & in doing it one realises over & over again that the best system of dance training is obviously Checcetti (I cant spell his name, disgrace!) her arms are I should say entirely based on his & her bar is the same except that she introduces various sorts of developees before the petit battement which one afterwards does in the centre & she very seldom makes us do rond de jambes en lair. Nearly all her steps in the centre are jumping, she demonstrates the whole time & smokes incessantly her own jump is wonderful & gives one some idea of what Nijinskis jump was like in quality. She is a beautiful dancer & a dancer above all her ugliness. We have two groups for classes & they take place alternate weeks at & after them we rehearse till lunch & back at 3 or 4 till dinner & then back at 9 or 10 till 11.30 or . Generally one doesnt rehearse more than twice a day sometimes 3 as she takes people in groups till the ballet is finished & then calls full rehearsal. Rubinstein never appears, she has been once to look on only, & has now gone away for a holiday. But I have been going 3 times a day as I have been understudying. She has finished one ballet & as would be my luck it is Russian rather Childrens Tales-Firebird-Noces like people pile themselves on each other but we do real vigorous dancing 6 men. The music is by Rimsky-Korsakoff. The second she has just begun is rather Carnaval like & romantic & is by Shubert-Liszt. I havent done anything in that yet but understudy in the corner. Massine arrives on the 1st September I hope he will be kind to me.13 For I am being very diffident & feel really of no count as a dancer as yet and I fully realise what a wonderful experience it is I think better than Diaghileff because of the lessons. I also realise how little strength I have, what a meagre physique I have, I get thinner instead of fatter or more muscular and how hard & long one must work to be anything as a dancer & how the years do tell in it. I also realize how much worse I should be without your excellent teaching & grounding as I see I have more finish than most people & I hope God will give me muscles in time. I am more ambitious than ever and I long & pray that I will succeed, but life is hard and there is so much against me one thinks. I must stop now I am tired, if there is anything you would like to know please ask me as I may have not told you something you would like to know. Well dear Mim, I think of you a lot & I wish you were here many things would amuse you as they do me, and I am constantly more than grateful to you for making it possible for me to enter this Company. My love to you. Fred
It is conspicuous that men writing about Nijinska usually find it necessary to comment on her appearance. George Sari, a colleague of Ashtons in Rubinsteins company, wrote:
Oh! what a genius! Personal beauty does not count with Nijinska - everybody adores her and no one stops to ask, Is she beautiful? her eyes? her hair? her lips? To say she is Nijinska - the artist, the genius, is to have said all! (Sari, 1928, p. 9)
His report confirms many of the details in Ashtons letter and adds:
Rules are rigid but everyone adheres to them and the rehearsals are truly wonderful! All the women of the company rehearse in black tunics with flesh tights and shoes, whilst the men wear black tights and white shirts. (ibid.)
The works Ashton refers to are La Princesse cygne (The Swan Princess), inspired by the opera The Tzar Sultan in which, according to the programme, Ashton danced as one of eight men (Les Jeunes Gens), along with another British dancer, Rupert Doone, and three young Polish graduates of the Warsaw Opera Ballet who would become notable dancers in the 1930s: Shabelevsky, Jasinsky and Matlinsky. The Carnaval-like work was La Bien aimée (The Beloved), where indeed Ashton appeared as one of the carnival masquers who arrive at the end of the work.14 In most works for Rubinstein, Ashton appeared in groups of four to nine named dancers, rather than with the anonymous corps de ballet.15
While the first letter was written at a time of an exciting private experience Ashton wanted to share with Rambert, the second is an explanation of changing public relationship.
After his season with Ida Rubinsteins company Ashton returned to a variety of jobs in London, including helping Rambert with the foundation of the Ballet Club. His choreographic work became more individual, and, following the creation of Capriol Suite and Pomona, Ashton was acclaimed by Arnold Haskell as the first young choreographist of importance to develop after the close of the Diaghileff era (1931, p. 448). Although closely associated with Ramberts work Ashton only choreographed five ballets,16 and a further two divertissement items for the Mercury stage. These were chamber works specifically designed in detail for the tiny space and sophisticated audience. Ashtons work for the Mercury was complemented by ballets choreographed for larger venues. As a freelance choreographer Ashton was kept busy, but he undoubtedly welcomed the opportunity to take up a full-time position within an artistic theatre where it was no longer necessary to compromise, as he felt he had to in the commercial theatre to abandon technique and originality in favour of broad general effects (Ashton, 1933, p. 4).
1935 was a year of realignment in the world of British ballet. The newly-established Markova-Dolin Company,17 a full-time touring venture presenting eight performances a week, drew on the resources of both the Vic-Wells Ballet and the Ballet Club. It was against this background, and the annual visits of the Ballets Russes companies, the establishment of a new group by Leon Woizikovsky,18 as well as his decision to accept de Valois offer of a full-time job, that he wrote to Rambert from Scotland:
Dearest Mim
I have come to the conclusion that civil war has broken out in the world of ballet, & there is nothing more destructive in the world than civil war, much worse than a foreign invasion. In the peace of Argyllshire I see it all like a messiah (not Marguerite but probably like Baron Aloisi19) I shall be powerless to avert the inter-consumption of ourselves. Like a future teller I thing [sic] that the next twelve months must be for you a period of stocktaking. I dont think that you should beat yourself against the prison bars in fits of bitterness, nor do I think that you should stop your great work of course but I think that you should go slowly in a neutral way & watch the results of the warfare & like America step in at the right moment20 I would not enter the guerrilla & risk a defeat because Sadlers Wells & Markova have more ammunition with which to fight, & now I see that Leon has also a company & altogether there is too much activity. I would have your season at the Ballet Club. I wonder if you believe that I say this in deep consideration & because I really love you & do not like you to be outside anything I do.You know that I realise that you are the most powerful & be outside anything I do. You know that I realise you are the most powerful and constructive influence in my life & I would really never do anything to hurt you that was in my power. But my strength is limited & I am no colossus like Massine I [?] sadly realise & I doubt if my slight form would be able to hold such powerful genius. I know that it hurts you that I go to Sadlers Wells but you also I hope realise that if I do go I must work to the best of my ability. I hope that you are not too upset about Façade but that is not really my doing but Willie [Walton] who wants royalties. For my part it also gives me a good dancing part to hold my own against Bobbie & Harold. But I can write no more now all this seems so petty compared to the great loss of poor Nijinska.* How really terrible. I hope god will grant her great works to distract her poor suffering mind what relief can she possibly have & what comfort can there be for her, she adored her son as you know. La vie La vie.
Do write to me soon.
Always your
*Leon [her son] was killed motoring with Nijinska sitting at her side. Singaevsky [her husband] driving & her daughter seriously injured near Paris
Rambert did, indeed, follow Ashtons advice and continue her experimental and chamber presentations. The following January saw the creation of Antony Tudors Jardin aux lilas. Façade, originally created for the Camargo Society, which had become a popular work in the Rambert repertory (and indeed remained so until 1968) was the only Ashton work danced by both companies in the 1930s. Music was by William Walton and in the final Tango Pasadoble Ashton had given himself a strong character-role in which to stand up to comparison with the Vic-Wells leading dancers - Robert Helpmann and Harold Turner. The news of Nijinskas tragedy serves as a reminder that Ashton followed Nijinskas life and career with interest, eventually enabling her to mount Les Biches and Les Noces on the Royal Ballet dancers in the 1960s. Her influence on Ashton can be seen in a number of ways, and during his first season with the Vic-Wells Ballet Ashton re-used the score and narrative of one of the ballets he appeared in with Rubinsteins company - Le Baiser de la fée - and choreographed another, Apparitions, with thematic similarities to La Bien aimée. In these and the other works choreographed in the first seasons at the Vic-Wells he took full advantage of the resources available to him, but his success, and the overall development of his choreographic skill, undoubtedly drew on the experiences of his first decade in dance when Rambert was such a constructive influence in his life.
I would like to thank Anthony Russell-Roberts and the Rambert Dance Company Archive for permission to reproduce the two letters in their entirety.
1. None of the recent reconstructions of the Gavotte Pavlova contain the Fred Step enchaînement.
2. Ashton specifically included this in the last section of Five Brahms Waltzes in the Manner of Isadora Duncan and adapted the idea in, for example, Voices of Spring pas de deux.
3. The films recording early Ballet Club productions made by Pearl and Walter Duff may be viewed at the National Film and Television Archive, London, and at the Dance Collection, New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, Lincoln Center, New York.
4. This sketch Love Lies Bleeding or The Puss in Russian Boots was item 10, following A Tragedy of Fashion after an interval in Riverside Nights. Chekhov was as topical as Diaghilevs Ballets Russes then performing at His Majestys Theatre, London. Nigel Playfair, Manager of the Lyric Hammersmith, had directed one of the first British productions of a Chekhov play, The Wedding, at the Grafton Galleries in 1917 (Marie Rambert performed in the same entertainment); had given The Cherry Orchard a months pre-West End run at the Lyric from 25 May 1925; and a Chekhov season had just been presented across the Thames from Hammersmith at Barnes Theatre.
5. Contracts for all but star performers at the Trocadero where performances began at nightly except Sunday ran for a year. Magic Nights, in which Ashton featured opened on 4 April 1932 and the following production, Revels in Rhythm, on 3 April 1933.
6. Regular Sunday evening, and Thursday matinee performances began at the Ballet Club on Sunday 10 January 1932. The 1934 public (rather than club) season ran 15 May-27 June.
7. For the Masque of Poetry, Music and Dancing, which ran for eight performances from Wednesday 10 December to Tuesday 16 December 1930, Ashton choreographed and appeared with Lopokova and Harold Turner in the ballets that closed each half: Follow Your Saint: The Passionate Pavan and Dances on a Scotch Theme.
8. Ashton was with the Nemchinova-Dolin Company performing in variety from 5 September to 24 December 1927. During that period they gave two seasons at the London Coliseum 5 September-8 October, and 28 November-24 December. In the interim they undertook engagements in regional theatres including Bristol Hippodrome (week beginning 17 October); the Palace Theatre, Leicester (14 November) and Manchester Hippodrome (21 November).
9. Les Noces de Psyché et de lAmour, La Bien aimée and Boléro were performed at the opening programme of the Ida Rubinstein Ballet at the Théatre Nationale de lOpéra, Paris, on 22 November 1928. Le Baiser de la Fée was added at the second on 27 November; and Nocturne and La Princesse cygne at the third on 29 November. La Va/se was premiered on tour at the Théatre de Monte-Carlo on 15 January 1929.
10. For their first, 1928, season at the Opera, the Ida Rubinstein Ballet performed on 22, 27, 29 November and 4 December. Diaghilevs Ballets Russes performed there on 20, 24, 27 December and 3 January 1929.
11. In a letter of 9 October 1928 from Edward Burra to Barbara Ker-Seymer he writes: We have done nothing but rush from end to end of the town searching for Fred after penetrating about 40 miles into Old Montmartre (the heart of the apache quarter you know) to the Rue de Ruisseau we were told that he had removed a day or two ago to the Hotel St. George Rue Bonaparte (Chappell 1985, p. 46)
12. By contrast with Ashtons repeated comments that dancers in the company were poorly paid, Jasinsky, in an oral interview at the Dance Collection, New York Public Library for the Performing Arts comments on the luxury of receiving a full years salary when performing so rarely and a return fare from Poland!
13. Massine created two works for the Ida Rubinstein Ballet. David was premiered on 4 December 1928 and Les Enchantements dAlcine received its first performance at the Opéra on 21 May 1929.
14. Schubert-Liszt was the working title of this ballet as confirmed on Benois designs for the ballet. For reproductions of some of these see Barran (1994).
15. Nijinska later paid tribute to Ashtons contribution to the company when she said that in character dances he was among the best. He stood out by his exact rendering of style and his flawless accuracy in the details of my choreography. Ashton did not dance solo parts but he knew how to render individual what he did in ensembles He was also very musical (Dominic & Gilbert, 1971, p. 10).
16. La Péri (1931), The Lady of Shalott (1931), Foyer de la danse (1932), Les Masques (1933) and Mephisto Valse (1934).
17. The Markova-Dolin Ballet (1935-37) was commercially funded by Mrs Henderson and Vivian Van Damm Productions Ltd. Its first performance was at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle upon Tyne, 11 November 1935.
18. The Ballets de Leon Woizikovsky operated in 1935 and 1936, then becoming the nucleus of Colonel de Basils second Ballets Russes company for touring Australia. They opened a season at the London Coliseum on 10 September 1935.
19. The reference to Marguerite is unclear. Baron Aloisi (1875-1949) was much in the news in 1935 as an Italian advocate of the League of Nations whose mission was destroyed by the rise of Mussolini and the Italian invasion of Abyssinia.
20. A reference to the American intervention in the 1914-18 war.

No redemption, two years is a long enough trial and I would feel more comfortable with any position player who pitched at all in his career to pitch one inning each of that game. You cannot give Lackey the ball if a playoff game is necessary, not unless management is looking to thin out Red Sox Nation by causing stress-related heart trauma and death. (There goes the sell-out streak.)
Theo made some ridiculous picks but he has also brought us two World Series championships.
Never understood the Lackey pick-up, the guy can't pitch in Fenway and his whole aura is one of beligerance, Crawford is a disaster at least JD is steady in the field. Right now I'd rather have JD batting instead of Crawford. He comes up with runners on base and to me it's an automatic out. There are two more games - maybe, just maybe they can salvage this. I remember 1978 ---sox came back... But then again we had El Tiant. His ilk is sorely missed from this team.
Nice going you three. Congrats...
Crossing is dangerous everywhere - not just in Hamp. Some motorists don't stop even when a pedestrian is halfway across. So pedestrian's need to be extra careful. They also need to walk purposefully and not stroll across the street talking on the phone or texting. Motorists also need to put the phones down - especially in the downtown areas and in parking lots. Driving is not for the faint of heart and requires full attention, especially these days when it seems there is more traffic than ever.
I would see this movie because of Ryan Gosling. He's an amazing actor who hasn't quite made it in the Brad Pitt, Leonardo kind of stardom way. Hope he does soon. For other Gosling fans, I recommend "Lars and the Real Girl" and "Half Nelson." He's brilliant and understated in both.
At this point, I'd rather see Aceves in as set-up guy. Let Bard work out his mechanical difficulties during a blow-out. Not now, not when the game is one the line. I think he'll be ok, but right now his confidence has to be a tad shaky too. And maybe a little rest and chicken soup.
Finally, was wondering if it would happen at all considering the craziness of many of his attempts -leaving with a lead only to have the bullpen give it up.. Was most happy when Pedroia hit his second home-run...I thought maybe this would be the night.
Mr. Thorpe, I am sorry for your loss, and also amazed how you've been able to turn that loss into something wonderful for others. What a great way to honor your son.
I would love to trust this pair - but only if the Sox can score more than 7 runs in each game.
At this point the Rays have way better pitching and I do think pose a legitimate threat. Wake can shut an offense down sometimes, I have no faith in Lackey and would rather see Aceves start or even Darnell MacDonald. Lackey is even worse at Fenway.
I also think maybe Bard needs a rest.
My pennies of thought for the day.
towney007, I agree with you on all your points. Plus Scutaro has shown he can play in Boston. Lowrie shows glimpses of great promise and then muffs the routine so I don't know if he ever would be the everyday player either.
Mr. Scutaro is a professional. I liked Cabrera but I never quite got the subtext there and why the Sox didn't try to keep him. With Lugo, I found myself screaming at the television a lot when he was up. I don't have that problem with Scutaro..
Thanks ckgirl, fixed.
Dear Westy107,
The writer, me, was remiss. No tax dollars were used in this rather, according to UMass, the event was underwritten by donations from corporate sponsors, including Kikkoman, the National Peanut Board, McCormick, Kraft Foods, Dole, Bush's Best, Performance Foodservice, Coca Cola, Bunge, Barilla, FreshPoint, Tyson, Hormel Foods, Green Mountain Gringo, Campbell's and Texas Pete.
All those involved wore jackets advertising the sponsors.
Thank you for writing.
"Sophie's Choice" and "Schindler's List" do it for me. Just thinking about those two films makes me want to weep. I won't though, I'm still at work.
Dear Amherstnutjob,
Thanks for writing, but I just wanted to note that John Musante is the town manager for the town and is not part of the school department.
Ron, I'm with you on the hitting thing. I don't like it. It's one thing to move a batter off the plate, it's another to intentionally hit someone because they hit a homerun and enjoyed it.
It would have been so much more satisfying to me as a Sox fan if the Red Sox rallied to win the game and they all could have pumped their fists. I hope tonight is not ugly and the Sox are able to score a good batch of runs.
I agree with Ron, I think it's worth a shot. I don't have the numbers, but I think Drew is a better fielder and he could get hot at the right time. That's not to say, sit Reddick. And yes, some play-off heroics could certainly help rewrite the Drew story. It will never be a blockbuster, but still a better story than the one we have.
I remember watching him pitch. This is such a sad way to go. I'm sorry to all those who knew him personally.
Dear The Dave,
They're looking for one pair for every day of the week - that's seven pair, not 365.
Hello Galileo, My thoughts exactly on all you've said. Just hoping Crawford doesn't have the Renteria jitters playing on such a stage. Even Drew has stepped up in the past, helping the club in the playoffs in 2007 and carrying the team last June. (I think it was last June.) Haven't seen any fortitude from Crawford - except maybe on the Duncan commercials. I hope we both end up regretting these posts, small price to pay though.
I've liked what I've heard and was wondering if anyone out there has seen this group in concert before. If so what's the show like?

PAST SHOWS: The Magic of Hans Christian Andersen
Tuesday, October 4, 2011
Applause Unlimited
Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories will come to life as Applause Unlimited presents three unique tales: The Ugly Duckling, Thumbelisa, and The Emperor's New Clothes. The main character in each story has a personal challenge to face and conquer. Andersen's story-lessons developed out of his belief that overcoming troubling situations "made people wiser and happier in the end." During the 45-minute program it will be exciting to see puppeteer Christopher Hudert single-handedly manipulate more than 20 puppets from behind the scenes…or perhaps he will become one of the characters himself! This timeless presentation will help students recognize the difference between hand puppets, rod puppets and marionettes. Recommended for Grades K-5.
PAST SHOWS: Celebrate Kwanzaa
Tuesday, December 6, 2011
The Healing Force
We'll be celebrating the holiday season with the colorful "Celebrate Kwanzaa" program which is based on planting and harvest ceremonies in Africa but has reached around the world to become an African-American celebration each December. Kwanzaa (which means "first fruits") focuses on the seven principles (Nguzo Saba) of African tribal traditions—honoring history and elders through drumming, singing, storytelling, feasting and gift-giving. On the last day of Kwanzaa, people get together and drink from the Unity Cup (Kikombe Cha Umoja) and shout HARAMBEE!! (Let's pull together!!). The Healing Force is a family affair for Joseph, Gail, Sonji and Karim Anderson. Their motto is "Serving the Community through the Arts" and they breathe life into those words through their high-energy performance that affirms values, celebrates culture, sparks creativity and enlightens. (Geography, History, Music, Language Arts) Recommended for all ages.
PAST SHOWS: The Wonderful World of Simple Machines
Tuesday, March 20, 2012
Theatre IV
Theatre IV will bring to Jarman Auditorium stage a real-time science lesson as students learn how six types of simple machines make work easier and really are the basic components of all machines. The Wonderful World of Simple Machines live demonstration will include pulleys, levers, screws, inclined plane, wedges, and the wheel and axle. Seeing the large-scale simple machines in action just might help answer the questions: "How did the Ancient Egyptians build the pyramids?" or "What makes a skateboard work?" The antics of the actors and audience participation will bring the concepts of simple machines alive in a way no other encounter will. After the show, Theatre IV will provide a Q&A session before the students return to the classroom to continue the discussion or create their own experiments! (Language Arts, Science) Recommended for Grades K-5.
When and Where?
Performance Times: 9:30am and 11:30am
Location: Longwood's newly renovated Jarman Auditorium on High Street in Farmville.

J. Cole doesn't care about Twitter. We're guessing having graduated from the School of Jay-Z (yes, we made that up), he understands the art of mystery. After a three month Twitter hiatus Cole reappeared Thursday night with new music. Behind the scenes he's been touring with Big K.R.I.T and making new music. The North Carolina native dropped his latest track "The Cure," which samples Jay-Z and Kanye's "Lift Off" from the Watch the Throne album. Over Beyonce's vocals from "Lift Off," Cole addresses haters, Twitter, beef and what he considers weak songs rappers drop every week. If you're expecting him to name anyone specific–don't. That's not his style. He raps, "Cole World/the new Nat King/If I ain't the illest n—- I'm his new vaccine/Really more like poison when it's New Jack Swing/And my bed is like a deck of cards/Two black queens." And that's just the opening bar. There's no other way to say it: J. Cole kills it! Whatever the ailment, J.Cole has "The Cure."

text: All of us as humans tend to react negatively to problem situations. One common reaction is to give up: I can't handle it. Everything is too threatening. We tend to see ourselves as grasshoppers and our failures or problems as giants that are about to squash us. From this feeling of impending defeat, we may react in one of two ways. One way is to withdraw from the reality of the defeat. We can withdraw mentally by spending most of our time day dreaming or hallucinating. Or we may withdraw physically by becoming a social dropout. Or we might withdraw morally by living in continual sin. Or we might withdraw permanently by committing suicide. Another way we seek to escape failure is to retaliate. We want to go down fighting. Our weapons might be our tongues or our fists. We lash out in our hurt and pain, hoping our pain will go away if we inflict pain on others. These tactics for escaping our failures are not new. On one occasion James and John wanted to burn a whole village in order to wipe out the prejudices which those people felt against them (Lk 9:51-54). They felt that was the way to take care of the sins of society. Jesus made its clear to us in the Beatitudes that we are to recognize our failures (poor in spirit), that we are to take responsibility for our failures and mourn them, and that we are to remain calm and in control. Blessed are the gentle (meek), the word meekness pictures an inner attitude that results in controlled reactions. The original word is related to two Gothic words which mean to love (fryon) and to be a friend (freund). Meekness is the quality of being a loving friend when faced with unpleasant circumstances. The Greeks used the word to describe soothing things: smooth winds, tame animals, and calm people. Meekness is the mark of wisdom from above (James 3:17). The world does not think of being meek in the face of opposition or disappointment the world thinks using brute force is the only way. This is the problem we are having today no one knows the real meaning of meekness. The church seem like it has lost the true meaning of meekness and because of this the world is in a tumor situation. No more love, children have lost respect for parents and love has waxes cold.
