Tennessee Shakespeare Company Stages Romeo and Juliet at Germantown Performing Arts Center January 28 and 30
Part of its renowned Romeo and Juliet Project funded by the National Endowment for the Arts
(Memphis, TN, January 9, 2014) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company brings a sweeping, youthful, full-cast production of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to the Duncan-Williams Performance Hall at Germantown Performing Arts Center on January 28 and 30 at 7:00 pm. Opening night on January 28 will include a complimentary post-show reception with the actors.
Children 17 years and younger will be admitted FREE for both performances when accompanied by a paying, attending guardian. Limit: four per guardian.Directed by Stephanie Shine, Romeo and Juliet is part of Shakespeare for a New Generation, a national program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. This marks the first time in TSC's young history that it has been nationally-recognized with NEA funding.
The professional, multi-ethnic cast of actors and designers from around the country also will feature a six-actor ensemble from the theatre department at the University of Memphis.
The production is part of TSC's larger social and educational investment in its community: The Romeo and Juliet Project. Piloted in 2012, funded locally by ArtsMemphis to expand into Memphis schools in 2013, and now funded by the NEA and ArtsMemphis for 2014, the Project will send TSC's actor-teachers into Carver, Booker T. Washington, Ridgeway, Kirby, and Bartlett High Schools to teach every Freshman the play through an interactive, three-day anti-violence residency through February.
Following both public performances on January 28 and 30, a special community forum with audiences, actors, and director will be moderated by TSC founding member, education author, and Hutchison Middle School Head Barry Gilmore to explore together the many situations in the play that implore us to look within ourselves for social remedy.
The Project will also offer three morning student matinees of Romeo and Juliet for Mid-South elementary, middle, and high school students. More than 2,000 students are expected to participate. To book your school, teachers and administrators may call TSC Education Manager Slade Kyle at (901) 759-0620.
The title roles in Romeo and Juliet will be played by Seattle-based actors, and real-life couple, Rachel Brun and Joey Shaw.
Joey Shaw most recently played Menecrates in Seattle Shakespeare Company's Antony and Cleopatra. In the past year he played Tybalt in Shakespeare Walla Walla's Romeo and Juliet and designed sound for their It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, both directed by Stephanie Shine. University of Washington credits: Hair (Claude), Romeo and Juliet (Romeo), Macbeth (Macduff), and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Mitch).
Rachel Brun recently appeared at Seattle's Town Theatre in Domesticity and in Owen Meany's Christmas Pageant with Book-It Repertory Theatre. University of Washington credits: Stone Cold Dead Serious (Sharice), Macbeth (Lady Macduff), and Rough Magic (Miranda). Rachel appears as Gabrielle in the upcoming independent film, The Delicate Art of Bird Watching.
Returning to the TSC stage are Slade Kyle (Nurse, Tybalt), Cara McHugh (Lady Capulet), and Phil Darius Wallace* (Capulet, Apothecary). Performing for the first time with TSC are Isaac Anderson (Mercutio), Guillermo Jemmott (Benvolio), and Jamie Mann (Friar).
The University of Memphis ensemble includes Elizabeth Baines, Grace Bowers, Justin Burgess, Liz Kellicut, Matthew Nelson, and Joshua Tucker.
The design team includes the return of Bruce Bui's costumes with his associates Ashley Selberg and Haley Franklin, the properties of Kristen Greene, new fight choreography by Slade Kyle, and First Folio text consultancy by Neil Freeman in Vancouver. The scenic design is created by Los Angeles-based designer Elliot LaPlante, and the lighting design is created by Seattle-based Kent Cubbage.
"Romeo and Juliet contains the most breathtaking love scenes, the most riotous comedy, and the most heartbreaking sacrifice of young life of any of the plays, and all in one play," says director Shine, who also serves as TSC's Education Director. "It teaches us the most valuable lessons about the true evil of hate, the cleansing power of forgiveness, the necessity of bearing responsibility, and the freedom that accompanies truth.
"To lose young people to hate and violence is a punishment we feel too well in Memphis. Our daily news relays tragedies all too close to Romeo and Juliet. It is fitting that we use this play to introduce future generations to William Shakespeare and the great wisdom he offers. Maybe we can keep our children alive. It is fitting that the NEA is funding not only this production, but the three-day anti-violence residency that will partner with five Shelby County schools this year. One day, we may be able to serve all 40 public high schools in the county. Imagine the effect. And best of all, it is fitting we come together in the great numbers that performing at GPAC affords us so we may experience something together that may inspire us to create lasting change for our community."
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet first appeared on stage in 1595. He borrowed the story from a poem published in 1562 titled The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet, written first in Italian by Bandell, then in English by Arthur Brooke. Shakespeare followed the poem's plot and used some of the same words for his dialogue.
As in all of the plays from which he borrows, his Romeo and Juliet is infused with deep humanity, new and unique characters, compacts the action into a few short days, and evolves the two young lovers into fully realized young people who build between them a love that is inclusive of their minds, spirits, and bodies. Until Shakespeare crafted his title characters for the stage, no other playwright had yet expressed so understandably the exhilaration, maturity, purity, and completeness of shared, young love.
Shakespeare also tells the entire story before his play begins – in his Prologue, written in 14-line sonnet form. What is popularly considered the greatest love story ever told is born in a world of rage. The ancient feud between the Capulet and Montague households infuses fair Verona with prejudice and hatred. No one ever says what started the violent feud, which prevents audiences from taking sides. Civilians are killing one another.
The only children of the houses of Montague and Capulet are teenagers Romeo and Juliet, and they are "star-cross'd." Fate is working against them, and these children will take their own lives because their love for one another cannot be requited in the world of violence their parents and ancestors have wrought. The suicides of Juliet and Romeo become the terrible sacrifice that is needed to end the rage. The children are unsavable, making the play a tragedy. But their deaths, and those of their young peers in the story, are remarkable for their timeless instruction to all ages.
"In response to violence, Romeo and Juliet offers us a great lesson in the power of individual choice, the freedom that truth brings, and, best of all, the hope for change," says Shine. "Romeo and Juliet shows us all what love and forgiveness can do to change a community for the better."
Stephanie Shine+ (Director) TSC directorial work includes It's a Wonderful Life: a Live Radio Play, Shakespeare's Greatest Hits, Southern Yuletide, Romeo and Juliet, and The Rebel Shakespeare and His Women.

Henry V Trailer
Tennessee Shakespeare Company, in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, calls to action-packed theatrical life the battlefields and courts of an ambitious young king in William Shakespeare's masterwork on the chaos of war and the romance of peace: Henry V.
The rousing play famous for its many powerful speeches and orations, including "O for a muse of fire," and "Once more unto the breach," and "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers" plays in a fun, new "wooden o" on the University's mainstage from June 9-19.
Featuring a new, Elizabethan seating configuration that places patrons just off the raised stage (for only $10), a moving set, and slides of original wood-cuts from the early 15th century, TSC's production of Henry V employs ten professional actors, including AEA performers from around the country. They will play over 30 roles in what is perhaps Shakespeare's most theatrically self-aware play: "And let us, ciphers to this great account,/On your imaginary forces work."
Photo: Colton Swibold as Henry V
Though costumed for 15th century battle and adorned for the period's courts of England and France, the company of actors constantly address their audience, changing costumes and characters in plan view, inviting the audience to become the eleventh actor.
The production's title sponsors are FedEx; Ann and Wellford Tabor; and Pat, Ernest, Marian, and Martha Kelly. Together, they make possible Free Will Kids' Night each Thursday night (up to four children 17 years and younger admitted free when accompanied by a paying, attending guardian). Additional funding is generously provided by the University of Memphis and First Tennessee Foundation.
Henry V is produced in memory of TSC friend, Dan Copp, who died in 2015. From 1943 to 1945, Lieutenant Copp served in the U.S. Navy on the battleship Tennessee. He saw action in the Pacific theater from the Aleutians to the South Sea Islands. With this production, TSC honors Dan's courage, service, and friendship.
Directed by TSC's Stephanie Shine (A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet), Henry V features a professional ensemble from around the country: Montana native Colton Swibold in the title role, Paul Kiernan (recently in TSC's Twelfth Night) as Fluellen/Canterbury/Cambridge/Burgundy, Gabriel Vaughan (recently in TSC's Twelfth Night) as Dauphin/Westmerland/Jamy/Williams, Phil Darius Wallace (recently in TSC's A Midsummer Night's Dream) as Exeter/Nym/Orleance, Michael Khanlarian (recently in TSC's All's Well That Ends Well) as Pistol/Constable, Heather Roberts (TSC's All's Well That Ends Well) as Montjoy/Quickly/Alice/MacMorris, and Kaitlyn Maurer (TSC's A Midsummer Night's Dream) as Katherine/Grey/French prisoner.
New to the acting company are Jeffrey David Kent as Gower/French King/Ely/Erpingham, Blake Currie as Gloucester/boy, and Nic Picou as Scroop/Borbon/Bates/Bardolph.Read More

Memphis, TN (July 27, 2015) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company, in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, presents its third and final developing musical reading on the U of M mainstage with The Oliver Experiment by Jeremy Desmon and Jeff Thomson on August 15 at 7:00 pm.Read More
Midsummer Night
Live music, glow sticks, and power chords!
Featuring Broadway's Katrina Lenk and Eric B. Anthony
Memphis, TN (June 15, 2015) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company, in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, presents its second developing musical reading on the U of M mainstage with Midsummer Night by Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn on June 27 at 7:00 pm.
Tickets for the reading are just $15, or $10 for Students and Seniors.
Midsummer Night, directed by Janet Roston, is the second of three developing musicals in TSC's inaugural Showplace Memphis: Musical Works in Progress.
Broadway's Katrina Lenk and Eric B. Anthony
Sponsored by one of Broadway's elite musical licensing companies, Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW) and President/CEO Steve Spiegel, based in New York City, Showplace Memphis has been devised as the next creative stage for three musicals en route to full productions in New York and on the regional theatre circuit across the U.S. The first musical in Showplace Memphis last month was a very successful reading of Tenderly: The Rosemary Clooney Musical. The final musical will be a charming and surprising new piece, The Oliver Experiment (August 15).
TRW has selected the musicals, and the Actors' Equity casts and directors are coming from all around the country and Memphis.
The cast includes Broadway's Katrina Lenk (Once; Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark; The Miracle Worker) as Titania and Eric B. Anthony (The Lion King; Hairspray; Mary Poppins) as Puck.
Songwriters Brendan Milburn and Valerie Vigoda join with co-creator/director Janet Roston (Artistic Director of The Los Angeles Rock Opera Company) for this new take on William Shakespeare's beloved comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream. The musical is set within a modern-day rock festival. It's a rollicking collision of rock music, iambic pentameter, and hipsters – where rock stars Titania and Oberon quarrel, festival assistant Puck creates havoc, and roadie Bottom gets a chance to shine.
Keyboardist Milburn and electric violinist Vigoda have been singing and writing songs together for over 20 years, first for their band GrooveLily, and more recently for musical theatre and film. Theatre: Striking Twelve, Sleeping Beauty Wakes, Beautiful Poison, Wheelhouse, Toy Story: The Musical, Long Short Story, A Midsummer Night's Dream, its complete reworking as the rock musical Midsummer Night, and Ernest Shackleton Loves Me. Film: many songs for Tinker Bell for Disney animated movies. Additional music is provided by Gene Lewin.
The Midsummer Night creators and cast will collaborate and rehearse at the U of M for ten days leading up to its reading. Though it will be going through both script and music changes, Midsummer Night will be played and sung in its entirety and with musical accompaniment on the U of M's mainstage. No other design elements (scenic/costumes/lights) will be integrated.
Audiences will have an opportunity to speak with the actors and creators of Midsummer Night immediately following its reading. Audiences also will inform the production by completing an audience survey that will help the creative team in future development phases.Read More

The U.S. Dollar, The Euro and Their Influence On Gold Prices
Bob Kirtley: There are many factors that come into play when trying to determine the direction of gold and silver prices that go beyond supply and demand. As we know gold has an inverse relationship with the US Dollar (USD), although there are historical exceptions such as the one we witnessed in the gold bull market of the 80's, when both were rising at the same time. We may well see both gold and dollar rise in tandem in the future, but for now they are tending to move in opposite directions.
The performance of the USD can be observed when we view it against a basket of currencies as per The US Dollar Index. The US Dollar Index provides us with a value of the USD relative to a basket of foreign currencies. The performances of those currencies within this basket have an effect on the dollar. There are only 6 currencies in this basket and they are weighted as follows:
Euro (EUR), 57.6% weight
Have you ever wondered how billionaires continue to get RICHER, while the rest of the world is struggling?
"I study billionaires for a living. To be more specific, I study how these investors generate such huge and consistent profits in the stock markets -- year-in and year-out."
CLICK HERE to get your Free E-Book, "The Little Black Book Of Billionaires Secrets"
Japanese yen (JPY) 13.6% weight
Pound sterling (GBP), 11.9% weight
Canadian dollar (CAD), 9.1% weight
Swedish krona (SEK), 4.2% weight and
Swiss franc (CHF) 3.6% weight
We can see that the Euro is by far the largest component representing 57.6% of this Index and therefore merits being watched closely, so we will take a quick look at it today.
The Euro Chart
We can glean from the chart that the Euro has lost some ground recently, which in turn has had a knock-on effect on the USD. Speculation over a rate cut gained some traction when inflation in the Eurozone dropped 0.7% for October raising the ugly specter of deflation. Should we get more in the way of dovish comments from the ECB then we would expect the euro to continue its decline.

How do vector registers work in terms of calculations and alloting data to them ? Is there a detailed reference available somewhere explaining how vector registers work and how data is fetched from them ?
There are machine architecture reference manuals put out by Intel and AMD, which document (among many other things) exactly how vector registers and instructions in modern x86-style processors work.
ARM has comparable documentation for their architecture and its associated vector processing.
Well, one of the earliest vector registers was the H/L register pair. I think that dates back to the 8080, perhaps the 8008. In the end, a vector register is nothing very special. Instructions still need to specify input register(s), output register(s), and operations. On a silicon level, it means that one operation is dispatched multiple times with different registers, usually in parallel.

A brand-new publication, "Seattle Dance Annual 2013," not only provides information and images of last year's highlights, but also chronicles 65 dance organizations in the area.
"It's one part resource guide and one part celebration," said creator Rosie Gaynor, who solicited contributions from local dance scholars, reviewers (including this writer), and photographers.
Gaynor previously started the website seattledances.com after receiving a NEA scholarship for dance writing. Her articles about ballet have appeared in Pointe, Dance Magazine, Dance International, City Arts, and the Financial Times.
"I love dance. I danced as a kid in Milan and Minnesota, and I've written about dance for several years," she said. "When I started working on Seattle Opera publications years ago as managing editor, I had so much fun, and I dreamed of someday creating books about the arts. For this first book, I wanted to show that Seattle's dance scene is more than just the few dancers and companies who make national headlines. Of course I love those national dance darlings! I've written about them myself. But Seattle has other talented and inspired dancers as well, and I wanted there to be a place for them to be recognized nationally too."
The heavily visual book, with more than 230 photographs from eighty photographers, is available free online or a print version can be purchased from Amazon.com.
"It's exciting to see 65 of Seattle's dance organizations all together in one place," says Gaynor. "From ballet to b-boys to butoh...all in one book. It's just the tip of the iceberg. There are numerous individual dancers performing here whom I wasn't able to connect with and so they are not in the book. There are folk dance companies, social-dance organizations, crews, and more that I was not able to reach this first time around. I've set up a section on the book's website to share names, sites, and contact information that come in after the book is published."
Gaynor is now considering options for turning the publication into an ongoing tradition. "It'll depend in part on funding and manpower," said Gaynot. "At the moment, I'm open to coordinating and designing the book again next year—or to serving solely as designer—or to even just passing on files and tips. I'm open, too, to having next year's annual take a very different approach to content and design."
A new business, Seattle Scriptorium, serves as an umbrella company for Gaynor's freelance work in writing, editing, coaching, coordinating, and design. At the root of the name is Gaynor's dream of running a center devoted to publication arts and projects like Seattle Dance Annual.
Gaynor plans to hold a meeting in September with potential Seattle Dance Annual contributors to discuss how the publication should reflect the city's dance scene in 2014.
"And the year after that, it could be something different yet again," she said. "This would reflect what's going on in Seattle's dance scene. Ever-changing perspectives on a shared passion: dance."
Gaynor dedicated this year's publication to Kaori Nakamura, a principal dancer at Pacific Northwest Ballet, who is retiring from the company in June 2014.

Microsoft's Dual Personality - Let's Hope the Open Side Wins
TechCrunch's Duncan Riley published an interesting post on the emergence of a dual personality at Microsoft. He describes it as "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." The reason that this is important for open source and Linux is because Microsoft is starting to recognize the world is shifting to one where "open" is a criteria for success; re: Wikipedia, Google, Linux, Flickr, Second Life, MySpace, InnoCentive, Human Genome Project, YouTube and more. There are people in the company that understand Microsoft is late in harnessing the incredible power of collaborative innovation. Let's hope that the vanguards inside of Microsoft are successful in helping the company learn something we here at the Linux Foundation have known for a long time. We can all benefit from a more open more transparent Microsoft.

ASPM® Testimonials
"I really have a lot to share with the ASP's/ASPM's® about what has happened in the past year ever since I took your ASPM Course on Whidbey Island. Barb- it has been life changing for the positive... it has been so incredibly awesome- I have seen a lot of growth in my business, in both its structures and financially. I have personally grown so much in the past year... it was like taking your Master's course was this diamond encrusted gold key that really helped provide me the focus I needed. I can share about how at year 6 I felt "stagnant" and seemed to get caught up in distraction. Since our Master's course and refocusing, I have restructured my entire business and have seen the beginning of growth and stability. I am delivering solid Staging's with very good results."

Dear Barb:
I'm writing to you to give you an overall opinion of my ASPM's staging experience this past week in beautiful Whidbey Island!
Every aspect of this staging training was very useful and valuable for me to use in my staging business. The area that I needed help the most was putting the staging proposal/bid together for clients/realtors. This was where I needed help the most, to become more familiar and to be sure as to how to put the bid together. So thank you for clarifying this area for me.
I felt that it was very helpful to be placed in a group and go to the vacant and lived in house, to walk through all the rooms, step by step listing all the rooms with the furniture/accessories that was needed.
The five minute presentation for me was really helpful because I listened to the other ladies and learned so much from their presentation. I liked a little bit from each one of their presentations.
I feel that I have become more confident in what I want to do in my staging business and to keep on going taking it step by step. I have to develop and stick to my professional policies too.
Again, thanks for a wonderful week of the most valuable and important information that I've been lucky to have to jump start my business. I felt a shot of confidence and loved all the sayings that you kept coming our way the entire week.
Above all keep up the good work.
With love,
Maha Paulus, ASP®, ASPM®, IAHSP®
Becoming an ASPM® has been one of the best weeks of my life. It was truly a time for me to light my passion as well as bond with a group of amazing women. I not only grew professionally, but personally as well! Thank you Barb for your remarkable knowledge, energy and perseverance. You truly are an inspiration! I am excited and confident to sharing my knowledge and expertise!
Nicole Stoops, ASP®, ASPM®, IAHSP®
Whew, what a week we had during our ASPM® course. I was an ASP® that had not started my business and came with the desire of furthering my education for staging. My husband is a career military man and when he retires I plan to start my business. The ASPM® course was so good that I came home and have thoughts of starting it early and then when we move just move my business. Still thinking that decision over. The class was a full week as promised! I feel fully equipped to start my business. The class gives confidence in many areas; public speaking, cold calls, bids, consultations and of course gives you a team to lean on should you have any questions and need to call for help/thoughts/suggestions. The education you receive from Barb that's not in the training manual was priceless. Our class was honored to get constructive suggestions from Barb. This education is priceless.
Yes, we had many hours in class and working on homework, hours well spent toward our businesses. We had nine staying in one home and would I highly recommend this to others. The atmosphere was relaxed and we had time to work on homework together. The house mates had opportunity to bond even more by spending 24 hours a day together. We had a kitchen to have that midnight snack to help you make it thru the late hours of homework.
The Club in the Country was a wonderful place to hold class. The food was wonderful and the staff was very friendly.
I would agree that it is a life changing experience. I would consider myself a fairly positive person, but I would have to agree Barb takes it to whole new level and I returned a better person by just knowing her. I am blessed to have the opportunity to not only meet Barb, but 13 others that are now part of my family.

Good Morning to ALL of my new ASPM® Family! I can't stop thinking about the amazing time we spent together learning, laughing and rubbing our sleepy eyes! :)
Barb - thank you for a wonderful week. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us, and for providing the training manuals that are filled with immeasurable information to help our success in the field. I am filled with emotions as I am excited about all the possibilities as well as the many tasks I have to accomplish to get my new business off to the right start.
Thank you to all of my classmates who shared helpful hints from your staging experiences. I look forward to knowing that if I am 'stuck' for a creative idea, or need help in any way ... you are all just an email or phone call away!
AWESOME!!! Can life get any better!
Romy Godwin
Dear Barb,
Remember when you first took your first ASP® training class and were overwhelmed by the amount of information you were exposed to, you could not believe how much you learned about Staging? Well, after completing the ASPM® class I experienced all these feelings again. I have been Staging for 3 years and know that this class will move my business to the next level and on to great things. This class was just the energizer I needed, which may sound funny as sleep was the only thing that was not plentiful during this week. I came home excited to get started on my list of things to do for my business. I couldn't wait to get started. Investing a week with Barb and my classmates has changed me in so many ways I can't begin to describe to you. I think back with smiles, good feelings while remembering everything that took place the week I became an ASPM®. I am excited to share with my chapter and encourage everyone new or seasoned Stagers to complete this class. I would sincerely recommend the investment in this class as a must-do for anyone truly serious about Staging as a Career.

Thank YOU!!! Thank you for offering such an amazing course. I am so happy that I took the ASPM® course for what I have learned is life changing for me. I thank you for everything you taught. I thank you for your beautiful words, for they reflect the beauty that you are and what is inside. You inspire me in so many ways, as a business woman, as a woman, and as a human being. Thank you for all the gifts and treats and for the graduation celebration. I will cherish the memories of our week together. Thank you.
Julia Horner, ASPM®
Hello Barb,
Thank you again for all that you shared and your gracious wisdom! I truly look up to you - I can still see the joy in your eyes as you mentored all of us. I am so very grateful for the entire week (and maybe even the lack of sleep :-)
I hope to see you again soon - I miss you already!
Mary Piekarski, ASPM®, ASP®, IAHSP®
Hi Barb,
What a privilege it was for me to get to meet you and to share this week with you. As I said in my other e-mail I cherish the "life lessons" more than any business lesson, although I do appreciate them, you are truly and inspiration, someone who walks the talk, and that is rare.
You have reminded me of things that I knew but had forgotten to practice everyday. I thank You for the reminder.
I also thank you for having this class on the island. I think that it would not have been as "spiritual" for me if it was in a more business conventional setting. It was worth the flight hours.
Sending you loving light always,
Ocelia Claro, ASPM®, ASP®, IAHSP®

"The class with Barb was phenomenal. I truly feel that any time spent with her is a great investment in yourself and your business. She really showed us how we were leaving money on the table by not presenting our consultations and proposals in person. The taped REALTOR® office presentation helped me to refine my own presentation. Watching the other presentations gave me new ideas for mine in the future."
~ Rebecca Henderson, ASP®, ASPM®, IAHSP®
Thank you for many things. Thank you for being you & creating Staging - it is in my being to be a Stager! The Master's course is the best thing I have done in years.
~~Jan Whitlow, ASP®, ASPM®, IAHSP®
"I cannot recommend the ASP® Master's course highly enough. Taking the ASP® Master's course has made a great difference to my Staging business. Training with Barb Schwarz, the Creator of Home Staging, in an ASP® Masters course will change your life."
~~Edith Bookstein, ASP®, ASPM®, IAHSP®, Recipient of the 2007 ASP® Spirit Award
"In the ASPM® course, not only did I learn new material, but it gave me the time I needed to focus attention "on" my business, rather than working "in" it. I would recommend the ASPM® course; not only for its content, but also for the marketing opportunities it provides us all."
~~Sandy Donogh, ASP®, ASPM®, IAHSP®
"I have been back 2 weeks now and can't believe the difference that the course has made for me in the way I market my business and interact with clients and REALTORS®. I truly appreciate all you taught us at the class and am so glad I went. I made a presentation to a real estate office just a few days after I returned and got 2 projects so far from the presentation. I appreciate all the feedback and suggestions. They helped immensely. I made great friends at the course and have been in touch with some of the ladies. I have never been part of a business that is so generous in nature. You are a phenomenal example to us all. Thanks so much."
~~Teresa Rojek, ASP® ASPM®, IAHSP®
You will love becoming an important part of the ASPM® family. ASPM®s are held in the highest regard by all ASPs®. Your investment in earning your ASPM® designation will return to you over and over again in the years ahead. As an ASPM® you will become and be surrounded by the "Best of the Best!"

St Michael's Mount : Michelin's recommendations
This small island, inhabited since the 4C BC, bears the same name as its better known counterpart in Normandy, to which it was affiliated from the 12C to the 15C. According to legend the archangel Michael was sighted on the rock, making the island a place of pilgrimage from the late 5C. The monastery was transformed into a stronghold from the 15C, before it became a family residence when it was bought by John St Aubyn in 1647. The castle features a hybrid of 14C-19C styles. The village at its feet is a hive of activity in the busy summer season.

Angel Food cake is one of those desserts that, for a long time, was overlooked. It was very popular in the 1930's and remained that way throughout the 1950's. Its light and tender crumb was indeed, as the name indicates, "heavenly". Yet, making these cakes from scratch was not exactly a fast and easy procedure. For one, all the equipment used in making the cake had to be perfectly clean and free of any traces of fat. Fat would prevent the egg whites from whipping correctly. Then, there was the step of folding in the flour and being very careful to not overmix, which would cause the cake to collapse upon baking. Finally, you had to figure out what to do with all the egg yolks left from the eggs you separated. More often than not, these cakes deemed to be too much work and over time, making one of these cakes from scratch fell out of favor.
In the 1960's, cake mix companies developed Angel Food cake mixes to make it much easier to have this light dessert. At that time, you had two envelopes of ingredients packed in the box. One was an egg white powder to which you added water and beat to make the egg white base. The second envelope was the dry ingredients, mostly flour. This was beaten into the egg white base. The batter went into the pan and baked. Whether you made one of these cakes from scratch or with a mix, you hung the pan with cake still in it on a bottle or funnel until it completely cooled. Then, the cake was loosened with a knife and turned out onto a cake plate. Mixes made it much easier, though you still had to follow some ground rules to ensure a successful cake, such as being aware of fat on the utensils and baking the cake on the oven's lower level.
I've come across a recipe for a "Three Egg Angel Food Cake" that is easy and is failure-proof, believe it or not! Anyone can make this cake, it's that easy. It's also economical, because it only uses three egg whites. This recipe also deviates from some traditional rules about making this cake. First, it calls for milk and baking powder, which you normally never use in a standard Angel Food cake recipe. You sift the dry ingredients a total of four times. Then, you beat in the milk, which has been heated. The egg whites are beaten stiff and folded into the batter. This now goes into the pan and baked. In about 45 minutes, the cake is ready to come out. The recipe says that after cooling, you can turn it out onto your cake plate. I found I needed to run a knife around the edges of the pan to aid in loosening it. And you now have an Angel Food cake!
Be aware that this cake is heavier and denser than a standard Angel Food cake is, but it's still every bit as light and tender! There's an icing that goes over it, which is optional. This is a simple icing made of confectioner's sugar, butter, hot milk and vanilla extract. This is all combined and goes over the cake. If you wanted to, you could omit the icing and top it with fresh fruit, such as strawberries or peaches. It would make a good and easy dessert and even someone watching their weight could enjoy a piece of this cake, since it's virtually fat-free.
About two years ago, I shared another cake recipe which uses a baked Angel Food cake to create another dessert, called "Amaretto Cake". This is a luscious dessert in which the cake is layered with ice cream and flavored with Amaretto liquor. To get this recipe, follow this link:
If making a homemade Angel Food cake has scared you, try this recipe and see how successful it turns out!
- 1 cup sugar
- 1-1/3 cups sifted cake flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup scalded milk (may use skim milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla OR almond extract
- 3 egg whites, at room temperature
Mix and sift the sugar, cake flour, cream of tartar, baking powder and salt four times. Add the hot milk slowly to the flour mixture, beating continuously. Then add flavoring and mix well. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the batter. Turn into an ungreased Angel Food cake tin. Bake in a preheated 300 degree oven for 45 minutes or until firm to the touch and browned. Turn cake upside down onto a cake plate and let stand until cool. If desired, cake may be iced with the following icing:
- 1/2 teaspoon butter (this is a correct measurement)
- 2 tablespoons hot milk
- 1-1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add the butter to the hot milk and add this to the sugar slowly, mixing until it's spreadable. Add the vanilla and spread on the top and sides of the cake. Yield: 10-12 servings.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader The Supernatural Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
"It must be an enchanted sleep," said Lucy. "I felt the moment we landed on this island that it was full of magic. Oh! do you think we have perhaps come here to break it?" (13.27)
The presence of a major enchantment is a challenge to the travelers to get involved and break the spell.
Quote #8
"And as they quarrelled he caught up the Knife of Stone which lies there on the table and would have fought with his comrades. But it is a thing not right for him to touch. And as his fingers closed upon the hilt, deep sleep fell upon the three. And till the enchantment is undone they will never wake." (13.59)
Some magic is so magnificent that human beings, even in Narnia, aren't supposed to interact with it.

As a kid I was like a real life Pippy Longstocking: independent, fearless, messy. I dressed in black leggings and an oversized tshirt with my school mascot on it almost every day, and didn't give a shit. Clothing was nothing more than a way to cover my body and I had no interest in dressing to impress. My body was a tool for action and exploring my limits, and I didn't understand how clothing could amplify it's potential.

Women's Gymnastics Takes Second Place At Michigan State Tri-Meet
March 12, 2005
East Lansing, Mich.- Senior Alyson Cacciatore's impressive two-win showing and Jessie Jaworowicz's balance beam victory backed a stellar road showing by the UIC women's gymnastics team on Saturday afternoon as the Flames took second place against the Big Ten's Michigan State and Midwest Independent foe Illinois State at Jenison Field House in East Lansing, Mich.
UIC posted a 193.900, edged only by the host Spartans and their score of 194.725. Illinois State scored 190.600 for third place at the meet.
Cacciatore returned to spectacular form on vault after some rough spots in her routine this past Wednesday in a dual meet against the Redbirds. The senior rebounded well with a season-best 9.850 to snare the win.
The Glenview, Ill., native then went on to her specialty, the uneven bars, and turned in another clutch performance. Cacciatore posted a 9.9, her best mark of the season, to capture the event title.
Jaworowicz took the beam title with a strong 9.825.
Rachael Zelinski continued to shine during her second season with a second-place showing on floor exercise. The sophomore finished the event with a 9.875.
Senior Jennifer O'Neil quietly turned in another stellar all-around performance, taking second in the all-around rankings with a season-high 39.075. Cacciatore finished right behind O'Neil with a third-place 38.725.

Bradt Angola
ISBN13:by Stead, Mike; Rorison, Sean
Bradt Travel Guides
Angola is no destination for beginners. It has no Starbucks or McDonalds, and there's only one functioning escalator in the whole country. Only seven years have passed since it emerged from three decades of armed struggle; the land is littered with 10 million unexploded mines (which, interestingly, the elephants have learnt to detect and avoid) and there are few tourist facilities. But for the adventurous, this country offers over 1,000km of unspoilt beaches, excellent fishing and surfing, tropical forests and magnificent bird life. The first-ever English guidebook to the country, Bradt's Angola is essential reading for business travellers and pioneering adventurers alike.Mike Stead has lived in Angola since 2007. He works for the British FCO. Sean Rorison is a Canadian writer best known for his writing in the Chicago-based periodical Sobaka. He has also run an award-winning travel-writing website for the past seven years called Sean's Travel Stories.

Just wondering how many of you have any experiance with PentagonLight weapon lights?
We sell them at the store I work at, but only the handheld versions. I was thinking of ordering their dual led/laser with ARMS mount for my RRA Entry Tactical carbine. Pictured here: http://www.pentagonlight.com/item_detail.cfm__id.382
I have the L3 Luxeon light,(http://www.pentagonlight.com/item_detail.cfm__id.246 ) and love it, but I havent had the chance to mount any of their weapon lights.
Let me know of any experiances with them, as they are a tremendous value compared to surefire and other "top shelf" brands.

Political legend leaves legacy of accomplishments
Published: Wednesday, June 11, 2014 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 10, 2014 at 12:38 p.m.
Describing Billy Joe Kepley in a few words amounts to an almost impossible task. Family and friends of the long-time county commissioner, 78, who died unexpectedly Saturday morning, called him a hard worker, fair, helpful, committed, servant, compassionate for the less fortunate, dedicated, faithful, active, maverick, salt of the earth and man of the people. That last moniker helped him win multiple elections during a 22-year career as a county commissioner.
Another description, that of maverick, also fits well. Sometimes political pundits can label different factions on a governing board. But Kepley was his own man, and his vote often would be the deciding one in a 3-3 deadlock among his fellow commissioners. One could be sure he had done his homework on an issue, too, and would explain why he was voting a certain way.
That homework allowed Kepley to be well-versed in almost any issue that came before the board. He made his points by using stories, often taken from the Bible, which is befitting someone who taught Sunday school at Center United Methodist Church for decades. Stories have a way of catching one's attention, and he often mesmerized those in attendance at commissioners' meetings as well as his fellow board members.
Most politicians aspire to be called a man (or woman) of the people, but with Kepley it was more than a campaign phrase. He had that rare ability to relate to folks on both ends of the economic spectrum. It didn't matter if the person had coins in his pocket or was a multi-millionaire. He truly listened to folks, too, another gift in this age of constant chatter with very little understanding of those with different viewpoints.
One could almost guarantee before an important vote that Kepley would report receiving a lot of phone calls about the issue. At times, he backed up this statement by encouraging residents to show up at meetings. When he became engaged with an issue, he was like a dog with a bone: He wouldn't let it go.
The issue that garnered Kepley's attention over the past couple of years concerned a new high school in northern Davidson County. Kepley graduated from North Davidson High in 1954, so the overcrowding at his alma mater and Ledford High School hit home. He wasn't afraid to vote against other issues, including money for an industrial park, until he saw money committed to the new high school.
Construction will soon happen thanks to the approval by voters of a quarter-cent sales tax increase to finance the cost. Most people assume it will be called Oak Grove High School, to match the name of the already built middle school. But hopefully school board members can find some way to honor Kepley, not only for his efforts to see the school come to fruition but for his lifetime of service to Davidson County as well.

'Journal' Oversight Committee's Protests Come Too Late
The oversight board, meant to protect the paper's editorial integrity, says Murdoch's move to oust Marcus Brauchli violates the "letter and spirit" of its bylaws. Too bad there's nothing they can do about it now.
Over a week after the first Bancroft family member called out Rupert Murdoch for violating the terms of his Dow Jones purchase agreement, the editorial oversight board has said that the media baron "failed to meet the letter and the spirit of the agreement." By pushing out managing editor Marcus Brauchli without asking the oversight board's permission (or even notifying them in advance), Murdoch rendered them completely powerless. The board was set up at the request of the Bancroft family when they sold the paper to Murdoch's News Corp. as an effort to protect the paper's editorial integrity. "It was not our view that I had to report to the committee my voluntary resignation under the terms of the editorial agreement," Brauchli told his former paper today. "I regret that they first learned of my resignation late in the process." The committee is sort of at a loss, they said in a statement, because there is "no practical way to 'unresign' Brauchli and start the process over." So they're trying to remain content by exercising "fully its role in the approval of a successor managing editor." Of course, Robert Thomson is already firmly installed as "head of content." Looks like the editorial oversight committee was, in fact, blindsided.

Dan Kaercher finds a diverse bicycle-friendly community, go to Decorah for paved and off-road trails for bicyclists of all skill levels.
Hosted by Dan Kaercher, Iowa's Simple Pleasures features Iowa travel destinations, restaurants, events, parks, recreation and more. Produced by Iowa Public Television, the series highlights fun things for Iowans to do, see and taste, right here at home. Below are excerpts from Dan's journal of his travels in the state.
I've been in love with Decorah ever since my first visit several decades ago. What's not to like? It's nestled beside the Upper Iowa River in one of Iowa's most scenic valleys. Water Street downtown is spotless and filled with shops and eateries housed in beautifully maintained vintage structures. And then there's the Norwegian factor: Few communities in our state remain so clearly "ethnic" as this one. Decorah's heritage is celebrated not only at the Vesterheim museum downtown, but also during Nordic Fest and even in the Norwegian flags you spot here and there and the "lefse" sign posted in a bakery window.
Today, I'm exploring Decorah from a new vantage point: the seat of a spiffy new bicycle provided by one of my friendly hosts, Kirk Johnson, originally a Swede from the Quad Cities who seems to fit in here nonetheless. Kirk, who's on the staff at Luther College, has kindly lined up a jam-packed schedule for our IPTV crew, beginning with a relatively smooth ride on Decorah's paved, artwork-dotted Trout Run Trail (named for the stream that riffles beside us), followed by an afternoon of videotaping a local group of indestructible mountain bikers as they attack some very different local trails.
Inspired by such bicycling meccas as nearby Lanesboro, Minnesota, local engineer John Hjelle (how Norwegian can you get? It's pronounced Yelly) got the ball rolling back in 1996. That's when he proposed the splendid Trout Run Trail, which got under way in 2001. It's financed primarily by individual donors, fund-raisers and government grants. John tells me he's pedaled around the world, noting Norway and Vietnam were his favorite countries. What a contrast! Spearheading this project back home was a no-brainer.
We begin our ride at a soaring, stainless-steel arch that depicts, fittingly, a shimmering trout stream. Before long, the group of local volunteers (who clearly are enjoying taking this sunny morning off from their desk jobs) and I have pedaled to the landmark Decorah Fish Hatchery. All those delectable fish explain the big bald eagle's nest in a tree just across the road. The artistic "sign" denoting the hatchery is one of the trail's aesthetic adornments.
Soon, I'm huffing and puffing my way up some spectacular (to me) switchbacks that lead to a sweeping view (the trip down was a lot more fun, guys). Our final stop on the Trout Run Trail is a striking, bronze, mythical-looking statue overlooking the river and a prairie at the foot of one of Decorah's trademark limestone bluffs. What a spot, and what an unforgettable sculpture. How wise these Decorah volunteers were to include art in the design of this $6 million trail, which eventually will form an 11.5-mile loop. Pretty ambitious, I'd say, for a town of about 8,200 residents.
By noontime, I'm hungry! We meet yet more volunteers and local officials at La Rana Bistro off Water Street downtown. It's obvious people know how to rally around a community cause here. In the food department, the hearty mushroom-and-spinach quiche and tomato-bisque soup get my enthusiastic endorsement. Now that we've refueled, it's time partake in a different type of pedaling: mountain biking some challenging, single-track trails that climb up, down and through the parks north of the river and downtown.
I decide to try a relatively flat trail along the river before a group of volunteer mountain bikers led by trail champion and Oneota River Cycles bike-shop owner Deke Gosen. Wow. You really have to keep your eyes open on this kind of a trail, which is exactly what these guys love. Thankful I brought my helmet along today, I dart around jagged rocks and fallen limbs, almost crash into a tree on a 90-degree turn, and wisely walk my bike over a log that my fellow riders somehow seem to effortlessly fly over. How did they do that?
Time to sit this one out. With our producer and videographer, I tag along in our mini caravan of ATVs and golf carts. I'd never make it up these steep, twisting trails on my own power. Yet, this is just what makes Decorah such a bicyclists' paradise. You can choose between the paved, well-groomed Trout Run Trail favored by conventional cyclists and walkers, and the deliberately rough 18.5 miles of mountain-biking trails that push the sport to the extreme. It's one of the few places in Iowa where you can sample both styles of bicycling in close proximity.
At the end of the day, we gather with our new friends at T-Bocks Sports Bar and Grill on Water Street downtown for a brew and some camaraderie. As we chat, it's very clear these enthusiastic bikers take their civic responsibilities very seriously. Deke tells me there are dozens of bikers who can be counted on whenever it's time to help forge new trails or groom existing ones. I like the idea that the folks who benefit from these trails
are the very ones who get the job done!

Lords of The Realm 2
Game Review
Lords of the Realm 2 ([url=http://www.sierra.com]Sierra, 1996[/url]) is a decent turn based medieval fantasy strategy game. For the time, this game had a good computer AI, fairly impressive graphics, and simple gameplay without falling victim to the usual RTS problems. In that I mean usually these types of games you have to pay too much attention to either the micromanagement of your realm or to the battle/combat side of things; this game you spent equal amounts of time doing both without becoming too bored or you let the computer handle the micromanagement stuff or even the battles if you prefer to be more governor than general.
There are over 24 scenarios in the stock game and you can get the expansion, Lords of the Realm 2 Siege pack, to increase that if you need more. Typical to the RTS genre, you do have to decide what types of weapons, equipment and serf occupations you need in what order. This is done in the common point & click method using icons with help just a mouse click away or by reading the detailed manual. (Yeah I know, who reads the f'ing manual? Sometimes you just got to do it to see what's in there that might help you.)
Combat was much improved over the original Lords of the Realms in that you start out paused instead of trying to scramble to figure out what the heck was going on. Your troops don't need you to set tons of waypoints, just give them a rough idea where you want and they'll do their best to overcome whatever landscape gets in the way, even finding the nearest bridge to cross a river. I've read reports in magazines that the worst thing about the combat is that both you and your foes troops move too fast to control or react to decently. But I never had too much problems with this as I'm the type to let battles happen while I'm working on the important stuff like keeping my serfs happy and not revolting on me--that's always a setback when they don't like you.
The graphics and music aren't too annoying though you can put your own cd on the stereo and jam out to your favourite stuff as there aren't any witty or crucial things you need to hear after an hour of gameplay. You can listen to the tutorial at the beginning of the game should you choose, it's done tastefully without being too much like a history teacher after lunch (can we say siesta time?)
This was one of the first RTS games I ever bought and I ended up getting a lot more based on my experiences with Lord of the Realms 2 even if they all didn't live up to my expectations. Cheat codes, hints and strategies are online as with most games and this one has something else the first version didn't: Multiplay! Yep, you and your friends can dominate each other to your liking. Two of you if it's modem based or 4 with a network. There's even a web forum that still exists at [url=http://lords.proboards12.com/index.cgi] http://lords.proboards12.com/index.cgi [/url] though I think it's grown dusty from lack of fresh blood. There are no known patches for this game except for a couple on the Sierra Support section for the Siege Pack.

Jackpot Redux
By templedf on Apr 06, 2007
Looks like Tom has done a bunch of work to update Jackpot for the new Java Source API in NetBeans 6.0. Because he more or less started over from scratch, the API has changed a bit. Examples are posted at the 6.0 Development Update Center.
If you're not familiar with Jackpot, it's an exceedingly powerful way to transform source files. Think of it as XSL for programmers. Using Jackpot, one can write queries that examine source files, such as looking for unused variables or counting occurances of
if statements without
else blocks, or transformations that walk through source files and make changes, like adding Logger.entering() and Logger.exiting() calls to every method or changing Iterator.hasNext() loops into for-each loops. Jackpot queries and transformation can either be driven by rules files or programs written to the Jackpot API. Rules files are certainly simpler than writing to the API, but they are also more restricted in the kinds of queries and transforms they enable. The Jackpot API certainly has a learning curve, but it gives the developer the ability to examine every little detail of a source file and do transforms that are arbitrarily complex. If you haven't looked at Jackpot, grab a copy of NetBeans and give it a whirl!

Three big names were elected into the Hall of Fame on Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2014, and one of them was "The Big Hurt." ESPN reported that Frank Thomas, Tom Glavine, and Greg Maddux were all elected int by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
All three are very deserving of the honor, and their career statistics prove it.
Frank Thomas played with the Chicago White Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, and Oakland Athletics over a Major League Baseball career that spanned 19 seasons. He was a two-time MVP in the American League and finished with a career batting average of .301 with 521 homers and 1,704 RBIs.
Greg Maddux had a career that went on for 23 seasons and it was spread among the Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He finished eighth on the all-time wins list with a record of 355-227 and a 3.16 ERA.
Maddux also has a record 18 Gold Gloves, was an eight-time All-Star, and won four consecutive Cy Young Awards in the mid-nineties.
Tom Glavine played with Greg Maddux for a long time during his 22-year career. Glavine was a 10-time All-Star, two-time Cy Young Award winner, and had a career record of 305-203.
Glavine played with the Braves twice and the New York Mets between those stints.
