If you've been paying attention -- and you should be -- then you'd know that back in January we gave you our first impressions of THQ's upcoming sequel to Darksiders. We introduced Death, the lead protagonist in Darksiders II, and outlined some new features and mechanics in the game. I walked away from the presentation rather pleased, looking forward to my next chance to check out the latest entry in the Darksiders series.
This time around, THQ and Vigil Games gave us hours of hands-on time with the game, allowing us to make our way through a quest found about 25% into the campaign; the demo took place inside the final dungeon of the Maker's Realm, the first of four zones in Darksiders II.
Sent on a mission to revive an ancient golem named The Guardian, a colossal stone construct capable of banishing corruption, Death must explore a deep dungeon in search of three Heart Stones which can reanimate the giant. You're followed by an AI-controlled NPC named Maker Karn who helps you solve puzzles; throw you across gaps, holds doors open, lugs the heavy stuff around for you and even fights with you.
After getting through to the end and fighting the final boss of zone 1, here are the top 5 things I took away from Darksiders II – this is what you should care about:
1. The RPG-esque loot system will keep you hooked
Like we told you about in that first preview, Darksiders II sports a brand-new loot system, adding a touch of RPG to the mix. Upon defeat, enemies randomly drop loot that you can customize Death with. You can also find chests – some more hidden than others – that will reward you with sweet, sweet loot. This is a very good thing. Vigil knows that most players salivate over this kind of stuff, as you may too, once you see how captivating it can be to customize not only Death's appearance, but his stats and play style.
I found myself checking my inventory about every thirty minutes to see if I picked up anything that would enhance my current build for Death. From piercing damage to bonus experience, there are plenty of stat modifiers that you can go nuts with. What's more is that the items we were finding are most-probably early-game equipment; we can't wait to see the late-game loot.
2. You won't be getting bored of combat
Death has a surprising amount of versatility when it comes to combat in Darksiders II. Between the new and improved combat mechanics in the sequel, the plethora of weapons, skill tree customization and different spells / abilities, there are countless ways to approach combat however you want to.
Want to go all-out melee with your scythes and choice of secondary weapon? You can. Throwing in some abilities from your Harbinger and Necromancer skill trees, like raising the dead to fight your battles for you when needed, or mastering teleport attacks – yup, you are the Pale Rider, after all – add so many angles to combat that we see this being one of Darksiders II's strongest points. Take into account that loot system we were talking about and you'll be spec-ing your Death however you want to, adapting your own unique approach to combat accordingly.
3. There's a huge sense of scale
Put this into perspective: it took roughly three hours to finish the last dungeon of what we were told is the first of four zones in Darksiders II. According to Vigil, that first zone is about the same size as all of Darksiders I. The game is going to be massive.
But we're not just talking about map size, oh no. Some environments are so vast that we actually felt pretty daunted walking into them. In an action-adventure game like this, where you'll want to explore every nook and cranny for hidden loot chests, you'll need to take a look at your map quite often. Oh, and did I mention that "The Guardian" ends up being the last boss of zone 1? No? Well, I just did, and believe you me, I wasn't kidding when I said it was colossal.
4. Platforming / traversing environments can be fun, but will take getting used to
Death is more nimble than his brother War. This allows the player to perform wall-runs, and even zip line from point A to B with what is essentially a grappling hook, the Death Grip. This adds a very welcomed layer of diversity to gameplay; however, I feel like I need to make it clear that I must have failed most of my attempts at jumping, wall-running and grappling. You have to be really careful with the angle at which you jump onto a wall in order to successfully go the direction you intend to, making the platforming feel a little flimsy.
What's more is that after connecting certain wall-runs and grapples, you must press the jump button at exactly the right time in order to retain momentum or jump at the end of your swing. This is a design decision that led to more than a few frustrating moments, as I literally found myself reattempting some obstacles 4-5 times, often not knowing what I did differently the time I actually succeeded.
5. It's not done yet, but there were a little too many technical issues
Still having three months left in the oven, there's still some time for Vigil to polish up Darksiders II. From what we were told, the build we were playing was a month old, meaning that the finished product would reflect 3+ months of work. However, we ran into an overabundance of technical issues with the game in just three hours of play time.
I have no doubt in my mind that Vigil will have fixed most to all of the missing audio, presentation issues, crashes and random glitches that some of us were encountering. However, I'm a little worried by the screen tearing, frame rate and camera difficulties that we were having. Things didn't even have to get hectic for the frame rate to take a hit; it remained inconsistent throughout. The screen tearing was more than apparent, often defiling some of the gorgeous visuals the game has to offer. But what's most bothersome is how the camera reacted in certain spots. By either zooming in too close, or too far from Death, I found myself having to stop for a few seconds and readjust my camera manually just to regain awareness of where I was, or where I was facing. This is especially prevalent in the grappling and underwater / swimming segments of the dungeon we were in. Even during the boss fight, I was forced to constantly hold my finger on the lock-on button just so I can keep an eye on the boss and what he was doing instead of just his feet.
Like I said, these might all be non-issues come day of release; I'm just expressing my concern. I'd love to remove this from the "top 5" and replace it with how visually pleasing and colorful the game is, but that entire visual competency goes to hell when the frame rate drops as often as it does. Again: I'm hopeful that between now and day of release, Vigil will have enough time to patch all this up.
All in all, I find myself more excited than ever to check out Darksiders II when it's released on June 26. Most critics enjoyed the first game, and saying that this sequel is way more ambitious is an understatement. There's so much to Darksiders II that if it all comes together properly, we may be looking at one of the best action games of 2012.

Obstacles to transplanting an entire human eye are formidable, but an advisory council to the National Eye Institute urges researchers to keep trying.
Proposing a national plan for vision research through 1982, the council says: "No successful eye transplant ever has been done in a mammal, nor is there any near-term prospect for success. However, the subject is of such overriding clinical importance that it merits research attention."
In calling for a "limited and thoughtful laboratory effort" in this area, the 17-member council delineates the current problems: "At present, any effort to transplant a mammalian eye is doomed to failure by the ganglion cell axon's inability to withstand cutting, by the difficulty of insuring adequate circulation of blood to the transplanted eye during or shortly after operation, and lastly by immune rejection of foreign tissue."
Research into retinal regeneration should be another long-term objective, the council advises. "Although something is

Grammar is the set of language rules that you use, most of the time unconsciously, to create phrases and sentences that convey meaning.
You may dread studying grammar, but in fact you already know much of the grammar of your native language. If you grew up speaking English, no one had to tell you that "Throw the ball to me," is a sentence in English, but "Ball the me to throw" is not. You may, though, need coaching to avoid common errors — "bad grammar" — like "Throw the ball to he and I," where you should say "Throw the ball to him and me."
Definitions of grammar
n the branch of linguistics that deals with syntax and morphology (and sometimes also deals with semantics)
- Types:
- show 8 types...
- hide 8 types...
descriptive grammar
a grammar that is produced by descriptive linguistics
prescriptive grammar
a grammar that is produced by prescriptive linguistics
studies of the rules for forming admissible sentences

generative grammar
(linguistics) a type of grammar that describes syntax in terms of a set of logical rules that can generate all and only the infinite number of grammatical sentences in a language and assigns them all the correct structural description
accidence, inflectional morphology
the part of grammar that deals with the inflections of words
derivational morphology
the part of grammar that deals with the derivations of words
compound morphology
the part of grammar that deals with combinations of simple words into compound words

Evaluation results are in on 90 percent of Indiana teachers, and there is good news and bad news.
First, the good news. About 88 percent were rated as either "effective" or "highly effective." Only about 2 percent were reported needing improvement, and less than .5 percent were deemed "ineffective."
Now, the bad news. About 88 percent were rated as either "effective" or "highly effective." About 2 percent were reported needing improvement, and less than 0.5 percent were deemed "ineffective."
Facts are funny things. They mean different things to different people.
At first glance, the evaluation results would seem to call for celebrations around the state. What wonderful teachers we have!
But you can cancel the cake and party hats. Some state legislators and pundits view the numbers with skepticism. This can't be right, they say. Just look at how many schools have received D and F ratings in student performance. Education experts call the results unrealistic.
"Unrealistic" might better describe the expectations placed upon teachers these days.
As an educator for the past four decades, I am not surprised by the evaluation results. I have taught with hundreds of teachers over the years, and my own experience tells me that at least 88 percent of those teachers were effective. Yes, many of them I would easily rate as "highly effective."
Those critical of the report cite an inconsistency in rating systems from school to school. That may be true, but I contend that any thoughtful measurement of teacher quality will come up with about the same results.
The fact is that Indiana teachers are paddling as fast as they can in choppy waters.
Amid a maelstrom of changing standards, fuzzy goals, and relentless testing, teachers carry on bravely day-to-day in their classrooms, trying their best to make a difference in young lives.
It is not surprising that so many teachers today are faring well at evaluation time. College education classes are providing more practical training and on-the-job experience. Young teachers, especially, are better than ever. With the current economy and a surplus of candidates in many fields, they had plenty of competition in landing their jobs.
Don't get me wrong. As in any profession, there are teachers who don't make the grade. But the vast majority are caring and committed to doing their best for their students. There are poor doctors and awful attorneys, but a general
survey of those professions would likely find that the large majority of them are "effective or highly effective."
Yes, some schools are getting low grades in student performance. But it is hard to track a direct correlation between teacher effectiveness and student success. Too many things get in the way.
Most of the these things have to do with the fact that students are human. Some lug weighty baggage into class.
Poor parenting, inadequate nutrition, transient lifestyle, lack of discipline, learning disabilities and a variety of other issues make it difficult for even the best teachers to do their jobs well.
All teachers can do is try to reach as many students as they can, in as many ways as they can, with as much love and compassion as they can muster each day. If the evaluators were looking for these qualities, it should be no surprise that nearly all Indiana teachers are measuring up. No kidding. The results are real.
Good news, indeed.

Inducting Kevin Nash
After weeks of rumors, it now appears that WWE has decided to go ahead with the induction of Kevin Nash into their hall of fame. The ceremony will take place during Wrestlemania weekend. While there are a good amount of candidates to give the induction speech, it appears that management has opted to go with Shawn Michaels, as they want to promote the fact that the later was very instrumental in helping the former become a star in wrestling.

Kevin Nash in GFW
Once Mike Tenay was forced to turn down their offer because TNA officials reportedly felt that it was a conflict of interest, Jeff Jarrett looked at other candidates to join Jim Ross during the first GFW pay per view taking place in Japan next month. Several candidates were interviewed, and one of which really stood out above the rest. Kevin Nash was said to have been in discussion for the commentating job, but his focus right now is on Hollywood.

Open transfer policy gives students a choice among campuses
ESCONDIDO -- A more than decade-old policy that allows students in the Escondido Union High School District to move relatively freely among the three comprehensive high schools has several parents concerned because more students are leaving one school than the others.
The district policy, introduced in the early 1990s, states that families can send their children to the high school of their choice -- even when families reside outside the school's attendance boundaries -- as long as the chosen school does not already have too many other students enrolled.
"We're trying to allow the most opportunity for students and parents to make the decisions that best fit their needs and desires," school board member Charlie Snowder said. "What we have is a community of people that live here (Escondido), and we try to adjust to the needs of that community."
A variety of programs offered at the three main campuses draw families from throughout the district, officials said. Orange Glen High School has the only Navy Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program. San Pasqual High School provides students with a sheltered freshman academy, where they can ease into the high school atmosphere. And Escondido High School has a deep-rooted academic and athletic tradition that stems beyond school boundaries.
But as families continue to show a preference for San Pasqual and Escondido high schools over Orange Glen, many of the parents in the community have begun to say that the system is not necessarily one of options. Instead, they say the system furthers academic and social inequality in the community.
"I feel that they are not dispersing the students fairly," said Jenny Horine, who has three sons enrolled at Orange Glen, the school that has had the largest number of students requesting to leave its campus for other locations throughout the last five years.
"By not redistricting and allowing the intradistrict transfers you are just setting yourself up for failure at Orange Glen," Horine added. "We need equal distribution of incomes (and) ethnicity."
Coming, going
According to district data on transfers among the three high schools from the 2002-03 school year through the 2007-08 school year, Orange Glen has lost more than twice as many students to neighboring schools than it has pulled in each year.
In the upcoming school year for instance, Orange Glen is projected to gain 33 students and send 35 students to Escondido and 118 students to San Pasqual. Out of a total of 232 students whose transfer requests forms were submitted and approved by the district's Feb. 28 deadline, 153 of the requests were from students who wanted to leave Orange Glen.
On the other hand, the most sought-after school each year is San Pasqual, which accepts anywhere from 119 students in a slow year to 233 students in a busy year.
Bob Clay, the director of pupil services who oversees the transfer requests for the district, said San Pasqual is convenient for parents driving south from the Orange Glen area to work in San Diego, because they can easily drop their son or daughter off and get on the freeway. San Pasqual is also the school with the highest test scores and academic ranking in the district.
According to the state's school accountability results, called the Academic Performance Index, San Pasqual scored 746 points in 2006, an 18-point improvement from its 2005 score of 728.
The index is part of the state's academic monitoring system that gauges how well a school is performing and improving student scores in math and English. The schools are graded on a scale of 200 to 1,000, with 800 being a benchmark at which a school is considered to be doing well. Once a school has reached 800, it is no longer required to show annual improvements.

Disappointing. Made an appointment for mid-December (straight after purchasing the voucher a month or so before) only to call 2 days before to confirm my appointment to find it wasn't in the book! Have now just gone to make another appointment (as nothing was available until the new year) only to find the voucher expired on 13th Jan. Such a shame as it was a good deal :( I can't comment on the facilities or ambience as i never got the opportunity to go.

Live Blogging at GARP: Risk and Performance Management
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 235 Visits
The noon panel at GARP discussed risk and performance management, with a diverse set of participants, including representation from Hess, Swiss Re, and Vanguard.
Kanwardeep Ahluwalia from Swiss Re noted that many companies are going through a derisking process right now. However, Ahluwalia cautioned that companies need to be cognizant of how much they are paying to reduce their risk. In many cases, especially now, it may make more sense to manage the risk internally to maximize performance.

Laboratory studies have established that different species of bitter melon have anti-malarial property. The tests suggest that the bioactive constituents of the herb may help in fighting HIV infection. The negative outcome of anti-HIV drugs are counterbalanced through oral ingestion of bitter gourd.

Thanks for visiting my website!! For those who know me, there needs no introduction…welcome and make yourself at home. All newcomers and those who I have not had the pleasure of meeting, feel free to navigate my website to find out more about me.
My quick summary…I am part perfectionist, part analytical. By day I work for Arizona State University, more specifically for the W.P. Carey School of Business as a Manager of Information Systems…I tell my children that I save the world (part of that is true, or so I like to think). I have become a fitness fanatic over that last few months, so that consumes much of my time…not just at the gym, but preparing healthy meals and learning about health and fitness trends.
I am also an entrepreneur/freelancer. What this means is I do side work (jobs) for clients centered around technology. These jobs vary widely from simple home computer issues such as removing viruses or installing and configuring software, to network/system design and implementation of technologies such as server virtualization and enterprise storage management.
My website is still in the development phase. As with most system architects, I am not the best at web design so please be patient. I'm also taking volunteer web designers to assist if you feel like taking on this project.

I spent a small part of summer on TREK in Wyoming. Early one morning after a small shower, I caught this awesome sunrise!
Just breathtaking!!! Wishing I could see something like that in life O.O
Thanks Here's how to see it: Hike to the middle of a prairie, and camp there for the night when it rains. Wake up at 6AM. Voila!
WOW!!! How did you convince the clouds to center themselves right over the sunrise?!?!?!? They never listen to me....
Awesome, right? I was racing around trying to find my camera before it was too late :L
Nice shot

Happy birthday. May the year be gentle and kind. (My new year's wish, but I think it can be applied to birthdays as well.)

Pitt County Memorial Hospital will remain a Level 1 Trauma Center until 2013.
The NC Office of Emergency Medical Services and the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons have both re-designated the hospital's status. That came after a two day visit to the hospital in March.
PCMH admits roughly 2,000 trauma patients a year, and the hospital first received the Level 1 designation in 1985.

A possible delay in the completion of the Zoo Interchange project won't affect work in Wauwatosa scheduled for 2013, Public Works Director Bill Porter said.
The state Department of Transportation plans to move ahead with work on Mayfair Road from Interstate 94 to Watertown Plank Road, Glenview Avenue from Blue Mound Road to north of Wisconsin Avenue, and the extension of Swan Boulvard to a connection with Watertown Plank Road.
"Those (projects) coming out in spring, early summer are full-speed ahead," Porter said.
Utility work already has begun on Mayfair and Watertown Plank, DOT Communications Manager Emlynn Grisar said, also confirming plans to continue scheduled work on the Wauwatosa projects, and farther south, on Greenfield Avenue.
Porter said that design work will continue on projects slated for 2014, including a large, looping interchange linking Mayfair Road to Highway 45.
Grisar said last week that there was no update on the potential delay of the Zoo Interchange project.
Transportation Secretary Mark Gottlieb reportedly announced two weeks ago that work on the Zoo Interchange, and possibly other state projects, will be proceed at a slower pace if more funding isn't provided. He said the Zoo Interchange project, schedule to be done in 2018, won't be completed until 2020 if funding needs aren't met.
Gov. Scott Walker said a few days later that he would like to keep the Zoo Interchange project on schedule without affecting other projects, but offered no specific plans to provide more money, beyond saying that raising the tax on gas was unlikely.
Other options that have been floated include charging people a new fee based on how many miles they drive, putting more money collected from the income and sales taxes toward roads, or increasing borrowing, although the Republican-controlled Legislature reportedly has little appetite for any of these suggestions.
City Adminstrator Jim Archambo said last week that a delay in completion of the Zoo Interchange would have little direct effect on city projects, including the development of Innovation Park, north of Watertown Plank and east of Highway 45, although a continued state of construction in the area would be an inconvenience.
The Zoo Interchange is the busiest interchange in the state, and work on it has been planned for years.
About a possible delay, Porter said, "How it would affect 2014 projects and beyond is just going to have to shake out."

LAPEL PIN IS APPROXIMATELY 1" (W) X 1" (H) Sq logo & unit info credit: F-14 Reference Work , Home of M.A.T.S. DESCRIPTION This is a very special VF33 TARSIERS ONBOARD USS AMERICA CV-66 VIETNAM PIN, VERY SPECIAL, IN MINT/NEW CONDTION. May have some slight yellowing due to its age, age unknown, origin unknown.
VF33 STARFIGHTERS, call sign: TARBOX
In 1964 the squadron started to become familiar with the aircraft which (in two different versions) would last them the next 17 years and became the backbone of Naval Fighter Aviation. The plane was, of course, the F-4 "Phantom II". Initially equipped with the F-4B, VF-33 set a new Atlantic Fleet record by winning the CNO Aviation Safety Award for four years in a row (1961-64). However VF-33's time with the F-4B was short and in 1967 they upgraded to the F-4J. The new F- 4 featured a different radar, higher thrust engines, slatted tailplanes, extra fuel cells and larger main wheels (to handle the increased weight). Almost as soon as the new F-4's were received VF-33 was once again deployed to combat, this time to South-East Asia onboard USS America (CV-66). During their time in theatre VF-33 dropped over 3,000,000 pounds of ordnance! This was in the space of 4000 combat hours flown over 5 months. On the 10th of July 1968 a VF-33 bird downed a MiG- 21C, the first air to air kill by an East Coast Fighter squadron over N.Vietnam. After returning from Vietnam VF-33 continued it's association with CVW-7 and USS Independence (CV-62), deploying most years. Several awards were won during this time, including the CNO safety award in 1969 and 1970. The 75-76 cruise saw the squadron win the Golden Tailhook Award, recognising it's skill at carrier landing. February 1979 saw VF-33 achieve 3 years of accident free flying.
In 1981 VF-33 entered a new era, with the introduction of the F-14A Tomcat. As the transition took place VF-33, who up until this time had the official squadron name of "Tarsiers", began to unofficially use their callsign, "Starfighter" as the squadron name, perhaps inspired by the huge increase in capability the F-14A brought. P.S. Thanks to input from trampus314 who corrected an major error I made. It's feedbacks like this keeps eBay a fun place

Stage Door
A musical worth seeing, events at Know (one serious, the other entertaining) plus a Super Bowl commercial
Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey met with great success when they created next to normal, winning several Tony Awards and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for drama. They didn't strike gold with their next show, If/Then, onstage locally for just a week in a touring production — but I found it to be a very satisfying, if complex work. (Read my Curtain Call interview with Kitt and Yorkey here.) Elizabeth is recently divorced and trying to decide what path to take next. She asks herself musically "What If" she takes this path or that — and this show lets us follow her down two divergent threads, one toward a successful professional career as a city planner in New York, the other in a happy marriage with kids that doesn't quite turn out as she imagined. Her stories are presented in overlapping narratives, since some moments and events are quite close. It requires paying close attention, but it's definitely worth the effort. It's made all the easier by a very strong cast — including Jackie Burns in the leading role, Broadway veteran Anthony Rapp as Lucas, one of her close friends (he originated the role on Broadway Lucas and played videographer Mark in the original cast of Rent back in 1996) and Tamyra Gray as Kate, who pushes Elizabeth in a different direction. The show's inventive staging, using video and fluidly moving set pieces, is also a fine example of contemporary theater design. Definitely worth seeing. Onstage through Sunday. In BlackTop Sky at Know Theatre, Ida's view from an asphalt-paved courtyard surrounded by the housing project where she lives isn't pretty. The 18-year-old yearns to escape, but her avenues are limited. The safe, predictable route is with Wynn, her boyfriend, a hardworking auto mechanic. Then there's Klass, an all-but-inarticulate homeless man who settle on two park benches. Ida is caught between these two poles. This is a show about lives that are pretty dead-end. Nevertheless, Christina Anderson's script has its moments, especially with Kimberly Faith Hickman's purposeful staging of 34 distinct scenes, several of them entirely wordless. Anderson writes with occasional lyricism and feeling, but desperation underlies these sad stories. That being said, the telling holds out a promise of change. That's an important if not altogether entertaining message. Onstage through Feb. 20. Also at Know, the fourth outing of Serials gets under way on Monday evening at 7:30 p.m. They've dubbed this one Thunderdome 2 – Beyond Thunder, meaning that each evening two of the five shows will be voted out by the audience, to be replaced by two new shows at the following session. Serials 4 features some writers and directors who entertained audiences in previous iterations of Serials. But several new talents have entered the fray, and the Know staff tells me, "There are some seriously strong story pitches this round!" They feel that the "gentle competition" of Thunderdome leads to stronger writing and a better audience experience. Writers who take the challenge must leap quickly into their narratives; if they lag behind, they'll be struck by a thunderclap and end up in the audience at the next round. Subsequent episodes are set for Feb. 22, March 7 and 21 and April 4. Finally: If you're tuned in to the Super Bowl on Sunday evening, keep an eye out for a 30-second commercial for Gold Star Chili. It was shot locally, featuring 15 Cincinnati actors at several Gold Star locations. Ensemble Theatre's Lynn Meyers did the casting for it, so you'll see some familiar faces often featured on local stages. Rick Pender's STAGE DOOR blog appears here every Friday.

Stage Door: 'Tis the Season for Theater
If you'd like to go to the theater every evening for the next four days, there are plenty of options for you to consider as the 2014-2015 season is getting underway on stages all over town. Here are some good choices to consider: Hands on a Hardbody opened on Wednesday at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati, and CityBeat reviewer Stacy Sims called it "effervescent" and "offbeat" in her review, giving it a Critic's Pick. I was there, too, and couldn't agree more about the infectious, heartfelt joy coming from the big cast of 15. The show is based on a true story (the subject of a 1997 documentary) about people in a downtrodden Texas town who enter a contest to win a Nissan pickup truck by outlasting others who vow to keep one hand on the vehicle. The cherry-red truck is as much a character as any of the contestants, the physical embodiment of their hopes and dreams — which take the form of songs by Trey Anastasio (of Phish) and Amanda Green. The script by Pulitzer Prize winner Doug Wright treats these diverse, down-on-their-luck folks with dignity, and the performers (who often perform with the truck as their dance partner) bring every one of them to life in vivid ways. This one is a must-see, a great way to kick-off ETC's theater season. Through Sept. 21. Tickets ($28-$44): 513-421-3555 The Great Gatsby kicks off Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's season tonight. You didn't know Shakespeare wrote it? Well, he didn't. This theater company focuses on the Bard, to be sure, but it frequently branches out to present stage versions of other classics, in this case an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 classic about a mysterious nouveau-riche millionaire who's obsessed with a one-time debutante. Set in the Jazz Age and inspired by lavish parties the high-flying Fitzgerald attended on the prosperous North Shore of Long Island, Gatsby is a story about the ups and downs of the American Dream. Simon Levy's script is the only one authorized by Fitzgerald's estate, and Cincy Shakes is presenting its regional premiere. (And here's a tip: on opening nights at 6 p.m., the theater offers ticket holders a complimentary catered meal, beer and wine.) Through Oct. 4. Tickets ($22-$36): 513-381-2273 Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Suicide Club opens next Thursday at the Cincinnati Playhouse, but previews begin for the season opener this Saturday (through Wednesday). Tickets for these performances are discounted, and you'll be seeing a show that's pretty much ready to go. Jeffrey Hatcher's script should be lots of fun for fans of the Victorian sleuth. He's taken the character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and dropped him into a tale conceived by another inventive writer, Robert Louis Stevenson, for a mash-up that will keep even Baker Street regulars guessing. Tickets: 513-421-3888 Serials! at Know Theatre, which has presented episodes of six Fringe-like shows at two-week intervals all summer long, culminates on Monday evening at 8 p.m. with finales of each tale. Who will win the ultimate fist fight with the Devil in Flesh Descending? How long can Luke really stay in his bedroom during The Funeral? Will we ever find out what's really happening in Mars vs. The Atom? These questions and more will be answered on Monday. Even if you've missed a few episodes, don't worry: Each 15-minute performance begins with a brief recap of the story so far. Zany and fun for anyone who's enjoyed the annual Cincinnati Fringe Festival. Tickets ($15): 513-300-5669 Finally, a tip for an eye-opening theater experience next weekend: On Sunday, Sept. 14, the Cincinnati area's first-ever South Asian Theater Festival happens in an all-day event at the Anderson Theater (7850 Five Mile Rd.). Five plays are scheduled to be presented, as well as panel discussions, seven hours of programming in all. The day begins at 12:30 p.m. and is set to conclude around 8 p.m. A limited number of tickets remain ($19-$29): SATFCincy.org

Stage Door: Something Old, Something New
A new round of shows comes your way this weekend (while several good ones remain onstage, including Freud's Last Session at Ensemble Theatre and Abigail/1702 at the Cincinnati Playhouse). Here are a few choices that are just opening: Know Theatre is finally getting around to its first full-fledged production of the season, Andrew Bovell's award-winning drama, When the Rain Stops Falling. (The playwright's Speaking in Tongues was a much admired production at the Cincinnati Playhouse a year ago.) An intricate fabric of overlapping connections, Bovell's 2010 script moves seamlessly through time and across continents between the years of 1959 and 2039. In a world where the rain rarely stops falling, four generations of a family search for truth and hope to mend broken connections. What they discover is the impossibility of escaping the past. The production should be all the more interesting since it's being directed by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's Brian Isaac Phillips and features a cast of nine excellent actors, four of whom are CSC regulars. It will be onstage through March 16. Box office: 513-300-5669. To see another award winner, you need to head up I-75 to Dayton where the Human Race Theatre Company is offering the regional premiere of Eric Simonson's bio-play, Lombardi. Set in 1965, it's a portrait of the legendary coach of the Green Bay Packers through the eyes of a young reporter assigned to follow the sports icon, a man full of passion and drive without equal. The show had a recent run on Broadway, and I expect it will attract an audience not normally drawn to the theater. Through Feb. 24. Box office: 937-228-6830 Falcon Theater, which presents its shows in the tiny Monmouth Theatre in Newport, is staging the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning play Doubt, a success on Broadway, at the Cincinnati Playhouse, and on movie screens. It's the provocative story of a starchy nun who thinks it's possible that a priest has abused one of her students. Although she's not sure, her accusations have dire ramifications. Through Feb. 23. Box office: 513-479-6783 Finally, a blast from the past at UC's College-Conservatory of Music: William Saroyan's The Time of Your Life. Set in October 1939 in a run-down waterfront dive bar on the docks of San Francisco, the script is full of colorful, eccentric characters and portrays the love and follies of human nature. It's being staged by veteran faculty member Diane Kvapil with a cast of 29. This production has a short run (one weekend, wrapping up with a performance in Patricia Corbett Theatre on Sunday at 2 p.m.) Box office: 513-556-4183

Stage Door: 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and 'Good People'
No matter what your theatrical tastes are, there's something onstage right now for you to enjoy this weekend: A classic story: If you can get a ticket (there aren't many left, I'm told, except perhaps for Saturday matinees at 2 p.m.) to To Kill a Mockingbird, you won't be disappointed. It's a wonderful theatrical retelling of Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize winning novel. It features one of Greater Cincinnati's best actors as the honorable attorney Atticus Finch. Tickets: 513-381-2273, x1. Adventure: Buckle on your swashes (and your sword) and head to the Cincinnati Playhouse for The Three Musketeers. It's a familiar tale of a young man named D'Artagnan who yearns to be a member of the King's guards. He's brash and naive, but his role models, "the three musketeers," are funny and loving and always ready for a good fight. This is one that kids can enjoy. Tickets: 513-421-3888 Contemporary drama with a dose of with: Ensemble Theatre's Good People is the story of a woman who loses her job and struggles to figure out what to do next. She has good, gossipy support from two friends — and a one-time boyfriend who's now a successful doctor. Her story is one that feels like it's about someone you know, trying to make ends meet in today's world. Tickets: 513-421-3555. An old-fashioned musical: Meredith Willson's The Music Man, a Tony Award winner, is getting a charming production on the Showboat Majestic. It's a big cast on a small stage, but it's inventively directed and choreographed by Ed Cohen, Dee Anne Bryll and Jane Green, and you'll definitely leave the theater marching in 4/4 time to "Seventy-Six Trombones" or humming one of the show's other memorable melodies. Tickets: 513-241-6550

Check out our recent story on the Kaplan New Works Series to learn more about these choreographers and the program. Ensemble Theater Cincinnati and Playhouse in the Park also have productions tonight. ETC's Good People, a Critic's Pick, is "a total package that feels good and real from start to finish." The Three Musketeers, onstage at the Playhouse, promises lots of silly laughs and exciting swordplay. See Rick Pender's full review here.

The interplay between characters in Good People is full of believable truth, and ETC director D. Lynn Meyers excels in staging such material. It's a total package that feels good and real from start to finish.

Stage Door: 'next to normal' Even Better This Year
If you can land a ticket for Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati's revival of the Tony Award-winning musical next to normal, that's what you should be doing this weekend. I saw it on Tuesday night, and it's even better than it was last September. It's the story of a woman struggling with schizophrenia and how it affects her family; that might not sound like the stuff that musicals are made of, but it uses the power of a brilliant Rock score to deliver the impact of this story. ETC has reassembled virtually all of its superb cast from last fall, including Jessica Hendy in the central role. Her beleaguered husband is now being played one of our area's best actors, Bruce Cromer, and his relationship with Hendy makes their pain all the more deeply felt. It's only around for one more week, so you should do your best to grab a ticket now. Box office: 513-421-3555. ETC's revival isn't the only thing worth seeing this weekend. You might check out the classic comedy Arsenic and Old Lace on the Showboat Majestic. It's an old chestnut (it was a hit in 1944), but it's one of the funniest shows you're likely to see, the tale of an off-kilter pair of elderly maiden aunts who keep their quite normal nephew astonished and scrambling to keep them in line. The kind-hearted women take in boarders, quiet elderly men who are "all alone in the world," and polish them off with elderberry wine laced with arsenic. They convince their addled brother, who believes he's Teddy Roosevelt, to bury them in the basement by telling him they're victims of yellow fever who have been digging the Panama Canal. A great show for the whole family, with lots of comic twists. Box office: 513-241-6550. You'll also find a stage full of laughs at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, which is producing The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). You'll witness mentions of all the Bard's works — although many are completely unrecognizable, thanks the three buffoonish characters who undertake the task. The second act is a wild send-up of Hamlet that involves the audience. Order your tickets online, and there's an automatic buy-one, get-one offer available. Website: www.cincyshakes.com. Don't forget to look in out-of-the-way places for good summer theater entertainment: At Highlands High School in Fort Thomas, Ky., you'll find the Tony Award-winning musical The Producers, the first outing by C.A.S.T. (Commonwealth Artists Summer Theatre), the brainchild of Jason Burgess, a one-time directing intern at Ensemble Theatre who's now an award-winning teacher at Highlands. The hilarious show about putting on a musical so bad that the guys doing it can abscond with all the investments will be onstage through July 1, with performances at the high school (2400 Memorial Parkway, Fort Thomas) on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets (only $10): www.showtix4u.com (or at the door). Each week in Stage Door, Rick Pender offers theater tips for the weekend, often with a few pieces of theater news.
