Important Teachers: A List
As discussed with Jean Gaede, whom I see often (at my Broadway performance of Master Class, and a woman who has flown over from America specifically for weekend performances of Fiddler and Carousel), that people should consider themselves extraordinarily lucky if they have even one spectacular, life-altering teacher in their lifetimes--I have been blessed with many.
I have also been blessed with some terrible teachers. And I say "blessed" deliberately for these teachers, though they may have taught me little (to nothing) of the subject on the "tin," taught me an awful lot about how to educate myself, get by, be diplomatic, and oftentimes, do their job FOR them. ...You have any of those? Those were valuable men and women in their own right.
So without further ado, the list (and thank you Mrs. Zarider who taught me to count…) in no particular order.
1. Joanne Devine & Barbara Zarider (1st grade - 1989-1990)
Two new mothers who wanted to be a part of their young children's lives but still wanted to teach? Mrs. Devine and Mrs. Zarider decided the best way forward was to team up! Mrs. Z took Monday, Tuesday and every other Wednesday, and Mrs. D took the end of the week. Mrs. Z specialized in all things numbers, Mrs. D was a language and reading expert for the district. When I entered first grade at El Rodeo I was new in the area and at the school, most everyone else had come up from pre-school together and they took me under their wings and made me feel special and noticed and right at home. Nothing like the "tandem-team" that taught me how to read and how to count. I'll never forget them.
2. Tom Kearny (Science - Derby Middle School 1996-7)
Mr. Kearny was one of those teachers that comes along once in a lifetime--the kind you never forget, never forget what they taught you, and never forget that they taught you how to learn and love something that you never would have even considered loving so passionately were it not for their influence. Mr. Kearney was more than a science teacher, he was a poet-- one of those men who saw poetry in the clouds, in the water cycle and the stars, and you could feel that poetry oozing from him like a perfume. He was that teacher you become friends with... when you are twelve.
3. Jean Gaede (Russian Literature & Contemporary Classics - Interlochen Arts Academy 1999-2001)
When Jean Gaede and I first crossed paths, she thought I was a lightweight-- and I suppose in her estimation I probably was. I had come to the Academy from the summer camp (where the attitudes of students are not at all academic, and therefore a large adjustment must be made). I was also nervous about my father's health, adjusting poorly to being away at boarding school and, crucially, making an excellent show about how none of that was at all the case. Pushkin first captured my imagination, then Tolstoy's short stories which invigorated my conscience, and eventually the haunting and pivotal Dostoevsky masterpiece The Brothers Karamazov. Brothers K was our turning point-- I read all 1,000 pages of it (unlike many of my cheating classmates!), I "got it," and she knew it. Our eyes locked one day after my oral report on Ivan Karamazov and "The Grand Inquisitor" and we never looked back. Jean Gaede has flown over to London for the weekend to see every show I've ever done, and her influence on my reading life is irreplaceable.
4. Robin Ellis & David Montee (Acting teachers and Directors of The Miracle Worker, Snoppy! The Musical, She Loves Me, Merrily We Roll Along and As You Like It - Interlochen Arts Academy 1999-2001)
What is there to say other than that these two taught me everything I know, or rather, every practical thing I know about being in the theatre. They fostered a love of it so strong that no amount of external beatings could ever extract it from my spirit. They raised the bar and told me to rise to it, then raised it again and again... they "saw" me, they "got" me, and most important of all they truly celebrated all that I was and could ever hope to be, at a time that no one else seemed to. I have journal after journals full of their lessons that I still use today in my work. The memories of the shows we did together are ever-present and inexorable from my inception as a creative artist. I feel that in their hands I truly became the artist I am today-- I came alive there, under their watch. There is no better, higher, or more grateful praise than that.
5. Judy Chu (British Literature - Interlochen Arts Academy 2001)
Lady Chu is THE Lady Chu. Click on the link above for everything my heart could ever say. Need I say more?
6. Mark Saunders (RSAMD 2002-2005)
Mark was one of those teachers that learns with tremendous joy alongside his students.With the exception of two final year projects (The Bite of the Night and Here Comes a Chopper, to be specific) when I look back at my time in Glasgow, the projects and experiences that stand out all have one connecting factor-- Mark Saunders. He was the head of the student government on which I served as a representative for my year group, and we made great strides in their together. He was my movement teacher, and, having always been a keen "mover" his lessons ignited my imagination-- from Le Coq's 7 movements, to Levels of Tension, to Elements, Buffon, clowning and mask work. But it was working with him collaboratively-- with him at the helm guiding a group. Though I played a small supporting role in Pericles (one of the Second Year Shakespeare plays), I enjoyed every second of it; as well as the Voice and Movement Project: a 10 week experience that serves as a culmination of all you have learned in both departments. It is devised, based loosely on a theme, and the source of extraordinary frustration for some, and joy for others. My group's offering was trans-formative for all of us. I'm also glad to say that I now see Mark annually in some city or another and it has become a great tradition of ours to explore the city we are in with as much vigor and gusto as we brought to the classroom.
7. Adrian Howells (Guest Artist and Director of Here Comes a Chopper - RSAMD 2004-05)
Adrian's theory of teaching and directing is that everyone operates at their best when their "love tanks" all full! And of course he is correct. He is also the originator of the sentiment that in creation, "IT IS ALL ALLOWED." Sensitive, thoughtful, charming and profoundly creative in the most glorious way, Adrian is an artist first and lives artistically-- he taught me by example how to be an artist in the world, but he also taught me that magic lies beyond the comfort zone. When I look back at my higher education, Adrian's influence is inexorable from the memory-- so much of what I transformed into was because of him. I am honored to have been lead by him as a young person, and even more honored to call him a friend in the present.
This of course is a list of people who had the "title"-- not to mention the countless mentors, role models and colleagues that always have wonderful lessons to share.
Who are your greatest teachers?

Spawned in 2009 in San Francisco, California, the entity known as Kerasphorus roared into existence like a stellar flare, only to die away just as swiftly. The band's only utterance, an EP titled Cloven Hooves at the Holocaust Dawn, stands as a testament to the uncompromising talent and passion that birthed this short-lived project.
Beginning with a minute-and-a-half crawl of an introduction, the band subsequently tears into four songs of absolutely vicious death metal. Like an updated Order from Chaos (a band once fronted by bassist / vocalist Pete Helmkamp), Kerasphorus invoke chaotic yet strangely coherent songs that have a knack for summarizing themselves, despite near-constant unorthodox changes and turnarounds. Certainly, it is the band's tightly knit musical and intellectual vision that allowed them to draw from such a vast lexicon of riffs – everything from blasting rhythm riffing with bursts of blackened beauty to cerebral, Voivodian structures appear – yet still create a solid piece of music in which every small part is a meditation on the concept of the whole.
Helmkamp's studied and well-enunciated vocal assault boasts of a warlike cosmic philosophy above the precise rhythmic bombast provided by the highly talented and mercenary J. Read. All of this is flanked by the reverb-soaked and cosmos-shaking guitars of B. Wolaniuk. Lyrically, the band explores various occult topics, and the album's artwork hints at further mysteries hidden within this act's unique vision.
Whether Kerasphorus ever returns or not, musical art as energetic as Cloven Hooves… should not be overlooked by lovers of the esoteric and the extreme, as even in its singularity it manages to bring both enlightenment and immense gratitude.

A Snapshot: Behind the Scenes of Sarah Greenwood's Sherlock Holmes
26 January – 9 March, Monday – Friday 11am – 6pm
Arts Gallery, 272 High Holborn, WC1V 7EY
This January, BAFTA winning, 3 times Oscar nominated production designer Sarah Greenwood invites you to step inside blockbuster movies Sherlock Holmes 1 and 2. A Snapshot at the Arts Gallery will open up to reveal an amazing insight into the creative process behind major Hollywood films, as Greenwood recreates an exact replica of her Sherlock Holmes 2 art department, revealing her research material, scripts, notebooks, laptop, drawings, models, illustrations and storyboards from the film, following the creative process through from concept to final cut.
One of the world's foremost production designers, Sarah Greenwood has created the silver screen worlds inhabited in Pride and Prejudice, Hanna, Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day, Starter For Ten, The Soloist, Atonement and Sherlock Holmes 1 and 2. Sarah Greenwood graduated from Theatre Design at Wimbledon College of Art, University of the Arts London, before embarking on her hugely successful career in art direction.
A Snapshot reveals a cross section of the epic process of designing a feature film, illustrating the complexity and collaboration that go into creating an entire fictional universe. This exhibition will take visitors on an insiders' journey into the heart of Sherlock Holmes 2, with its mysterious Victorian London setting.
Entering the gallery, visitors will be immersed into a lifelike 'set' of Sherlock Holmes art department, complete with Greenwood's Art Director's desk and the creative chaos of a live film studio. Taking a seat in the Director's chair, visitors will get an insight into the craft of the Art Director and the complex art and artifice of the worlds they create. Visitors can freely rifle through the scripts, drawings, schedules, notebooks, models and even Greenwood's computer. On the walls around the 'set' will be examples of work from Sherlock Holmes illustrations, references, storyboards, photographs and clips from the final released film starring Jude Law and Robert Downey Jnr.
Sarah reveals "What visitors will see in this exhibition is not the finished piece of work that everyone sees in the cinema, but a reveals a unique glimpse behind the screen into the craft and design that goes into it. Designing for film has the potential to encompass everything; this exhibition is a moment in that process.
I feel very strongly that after my initial conception of the story the collaboration of the team is the key to creating an amazing looking film, the talent and knowledge that is brought together for those few short months, to work in a constant state of crisis and to then produce what we do is nothing short of incredible.
From this confusion comes the clarity of the end product. But to achieve that clarity is a constant process of refinement and elimination, searching for a path through to best illustrate a clear coherent visual concept for an entire film. When it succeeds the art that is produced can be breathtaking and that can only be seen in the final film. "

Sedu flat irons are some of the best we've tried, thanks to their special, adjustable heat control system and tourmaline-infused plates that seal in hair's natural moisture, instead of stripping it. It's expensive, but with proper care will last you years, if not a decade or more. If you've been thinking about purchasing one, we'd recommend the Sedu Revolution 1 Inch Breast Cancer Flat Iron ($160), as a portion of proceeds will be donated to breast cancer research.
I've had great luck with my Remington Frizz Therapy flat iron for just under 1/3 of the price. I bought it a year ago at Target, and it's made all the difference.

Egg, Shrimp, and Scallion Pancakes
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled
5 eggs, beaten
2 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
Canola or other neutral oil for frying
Fish Sauce or light (regular)
Soy sauce for serving
Refresh the shrimp by putting them in a colander and tossing them with a liberal amount of salt. Rinse immediately under cold water and press gently to drain will. Put the shrimp in a bowl, add the eggs and scallions, and mix well.
Put enough oil into a large nonstick skillet to coat the bottom thinly. Place over a medium heat and heat until a drop of egg immediately sizzles and bubbles upon contact with the oil. To make each pancake, ladle about 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture into the skillet, making sure that a few shrimp are included in each portion, and then quickly nudge the shrimp in each pool of egg so they don't overlap. Fry only as many pancakes at once as will fit without crowding, about 3 pancakes at a time in a 12-inch skillet. Don't worry about the shape each one takes, as they are met to be fee-form. When the edges of a pancake are set and lightly browned, after about 2 minutes, use a spatula to turn it carefully. (If the pancakes have stuck together, use the spatula to separate them before flipping.) Fry for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until browned on the second side. Transfer the finished pancakes to a plate an keep warm while you fry the rest.
Arrange the pancakes on 2 plates or platter and serve with the fish sauce for dipping.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A Dennis Rodman secret leaked this week. Kim Jong Un has a daughter. Rodman revealed the secret that Kim Jong Un and Ri Sol-ju have a baby daughter during a British news interview. North Korean officials have never confirmed the baby birth. But now Rodman accidentally is doing his best RHOBH impression by revealing other people's family secrets.
Dennis Rodman revealed the secret without much purpose. The former Lakers star may not have known that the child was never confirmed until this week. In his interview with the Sun, Rodman said Ri Sol-ju "kept talking about their beautiful baby daughter."
He added "The palace was amazing and there was marble everywhere — it was very impressive. I won't tell you if the toilets were made of gold or anything like that, as I promised Kim I wouldn't talk about that stuff. There is a lot of stuff I can't talk to you about." Apparently he was told to keep secret other subjects, just not the child.
South Korean intelligence had previously told news that the child was born in 2012. Ri reportedly also was absent during a part of last year when the pregnancy was believed to have occurred. At the time, some news reports claimed to have spotted the leader's wife pregnant, yet with no official confirmation.
Rodman also told the Sun that Kim Jong Un is a big fan of Rodman but has no idea who Magic Johnson is.

Shorewall 4.4.24 Beta 4
Tom Eastep <teastep <at> shorewall.net>
Beta 4 is now available for testing. 1) This release includes support for 'Condition Match' which is included in xtables-addons. Condition match allows rules to be predicated on the setting of a named switch in /proc/net/nf_condition/. See http://www.shorewall.net/configuration_file_basics.htm#Switches for details. 2) With the preceding change, the rules file now has 14 columns. That makes it awkward to specify the last column as you have to insert the correct number of '-' to get the right column. To make that easier, it is now allowed to terminate the column-oriented format with a semicolon (";"), and then specify addition columns using a column-name=value format. See http://www.shorewall.net/configuration_file_basics.htm#Pairs for details. Thank you for testing, -Tom -- -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.

College Hockey:First-Period Burst Carries Badgers Past Colgate
Wisconsin Will Play NMU for Tourney Title
MILWAUKEE — Progress often is measured in different ways by different viewers.
One might see Wisconsin's two-goal output against Colgate on Sunday night and assume the Badgers haven't made many strides away from the first-half team that lost 11 of its 16 games and scored only eight goals in its last nine games.
Another, however, might see the Badgers' 27-second outburst in the first period and make the case that this is a team on the verge of an offensive epiphany.
What the 6,878 fans at the Bradley Center — the smallest crowd in the history of the tournament — saw in Wisconsin's 2-1 victory over Colgate in the Bank One Badger Hockey Showdown semifinals probably was a little bit of both. The Badgers were held to two or fewer goals for the ninth straight time and 11th overall this season.
The difference against Colgate might have been the grit with which they held that lead. Colgate tried to get goaltender Steve Silverthorn (26 saves) off the ice for an extra attacker in the waning moments, but the Badgers held the puck in the Raiders' zone for all but the last four seconds of the final minute.
Brian Fahey and Pete Talafous each scored his first goal of the season 27 seconds apart in the first period, giving the Badgers a 2-0 lead — all they would need.
"Everybody's said all along that they see the progress within our team," Wisconsin goaltender Bernd Bruckler said, "but the wins just weren't there. This is a really good start to the second half of the season."
The Badgers (6-11) snapped a six-game losing streak and will play No. 15 Northern Michigan in the championship game at 8:05 p.m. CST on Monday. Colgate (7-9-1) will play 12th-ranked Harvard for third place at 5:05 p.m. CST.
Wisconsin's offense — the kind that made an impact on the scoreboard, anyway — came and went in a flash of the first period. First, it was the defenseman Fahey, the trailer in the middle on a rush who fired a wrist shot through a group of players in front of the net and past Silverthorn.
Then, Talafous, the former Alaska-Anchorage player who had gone 13 games without scoring for the Badgers, converting a rebound of a Ryan MacMurchy shot at the left of the net before most of the fans had even settled back in their seats.
At the time, it appeared the Badgers' offense finally was finding a groove.
"You can't make that turn too fast, though," Fahey said. "Tonight was just one step. We had a good first period, toward the end of the game we played really well, really smart hockey. We started to slip there in the second period, and that's something we still have to work out."
Wisconsin's quick burst was something the Raiders have seen too often this season, coach Don Vaughan said. He called his timeout to give his players a chance to regroup, which they did.
"We're a team that's had problems giving up quick goals. That happened again tonight," Vaughan said. "It's happened probably four times this year to us. We called a timeout, tried to get our guys focused again. I thought we did a good job."
Joey Mormina got the Raiders back in the game with a 5-on-3 power-play goal with 18.3 seconds left in the first period. His blast from the left point snuck inside the left post for his second goal of the season.
It gave Colgate some needed momentum for the second period, in which it pressured the Badgers, especially late.
The Raiders had two power plays in the second period and two more in the third period, but couldn't find the equalizer.
"Our power play kind of let us down, I thought," Vaughan said. "I think the credit has to go the way they forced us on the penalty kill in the third."
The game got chippy in the final period, when 11 of the 16 penalties called came on two scrums. On the first, Wisconsin's Brad Winchester and Erik Jensen tangled with some players on the Colgate bench after Jensen hit Raiders defenseman J.R. Bria from behind.
Then, after the horn, Winchester and Rob Brown wrestled on the ice. No major penalties were called in either situation.
When asked how he thought the game's chippiness started, Wisconsin coach Mike Eaves said: "I don't think I'm allowed to comment on that. You understand where I'm going with that?"
Eaves was asked whether that was intended as a remark on the officiating. "You can make any assumptions you'd like to," he said.
The Badgers got back to the tournament's championship game after missing it last season after a loss to Brown in the semifinals.
"Looking back to last year and not playing in the championship game, this is something guys have been thinking about for a year," Fahey said. "This is our tournament and we need to be in that championship game every year."

Shaun Larkin joined the Fresno State baseball coaching staff as an assistant coach in August 2012.
The Cal State Northridge starting second baseman on the 2002 Big West Championship team, which was coached by 2002 National Coach of the Year Mike Batesole, Larkin started in all but one of his 57 games played and finished the season batting .361 with 16 doubles, 15 home runs, and 49 RBIs. Helping the Matadors finish the season with a 41-17 overall record, he earned All-Big West First Team honors for his role in helping his team advance to the NCAA Regionals that season.
Selected in the ninth round of the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft by the Cleveland Indians, Larkin was an integral part of six playoff teams and two championship teams during his six years as a professional. He ultimately advanced to the Triple-A level as a player before the Indians presented Larkin with an opportunity to become an assistant coach.
Once assigned to the Indians' Double-A affiliate, Larkin assisted both management and his coaching staff with player development and was the team's first base coach for two seasons.
In addition to his time as an assistant, Larkin also served as both the hitting and third base coach for the Leones de Leon, a professional winter ball team located in Leon, Nicaragua in 2007.
In 2009, Larkin returned to Southern California as an assistant varsity baseball coach at Newport Harbor High School. As the primary hitting instructor and infield coordinator he introduced a program-wide paradigm shift that not only focused on development of his player's physical skills, talents, and mental acuities.
Larkin held weekly classroom sessions that focused on the evolution and expansion of his team's leadership skills for use both on and off the diamond. Due to these unique character-building opportunities, the Newport Harbor baseball team reached the playoffs for the first time in 20 years.
An assistant coach at Orange Coast College during the 2010 season, Larkin primarily worked with the infielders and hitters and aided head coach John Altobelli with recruiting in and around Orange County.
Larkin returned to Cal State Northridge for the 2012 season and primarily worked with the infielders and hitters, assisted with the team's strength and conditioning program, and monitored the academic eligibility of his student-athletes.

TC TO JWC ; 23 September 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580923-TC-JWC-01; CL 34: 195-198
Chelsea, Thursday 23 Septr, 1858—
Nothing from you today still, my Dear; and last night, Charlotte, just while running over with your Bulletin (directed "Lann Hall," yet in your hand this morning all the same, I will hope) got a Note from you, speaking ominously of some "illness" (sudden and dangerous, it wd seem) whh you have had since I heard last! Alas, alas!— I need not say how impatient I am.
Our journey after Dresden, continued with the usual velocity and tribulation: Over Hochkirch1 (beautiful outlook from the steeple there, and beautiful epitaph on Marshal Keith,2 one of the 700 that perished in that spot, the church doors still holed with the musketry there); over Leipzig, where Foxton rejoined us, and had brought Tom Wilson, from Weimar,—after our thrice-toilsome day at Torgau); then from Weissenfels3 over Rossbach the last in our series, thank Heaven! Wilson, who was very good quiet and rational amid the circumambient chaos, went straight home from Weissenfels, and left us to follow (the best road, he again and again declared, whh it was not) after doing Rossbach, a hot work and a sandy! We also then got into the Weimar train from Weissenfels; found little Marshall4 (who sends profound compliments) and Wilson all blithe in waiting; and what was better, a fine quiet bedroom, looking out upon desert garden ground, in the Inn already known to me;5 when I procured one human sleep; and also a tub with water enough next morning,—and in short was greatly refreshed, the rather as I absolutely refused to go about, except in the narrowest limits, next day and preferred lying on my bed, asleep or not, to all the "sights" in Nature. At 3 p.m. we had to go again: the Grand Duchess6 sent a telegraph (being telegraphed to), most gracious, but it was to no purpose: I did wish to see the high Lady (very clever and distinguished, every body says); but it involved waiting 24 hours in an uncertain hostelry at Eisenach,7 and then getting off at 2 a.m.,—therefore resolutely, "No! illustrious Madam!"— — Next day, from Guntershausen,8 near Cassel,9 to Aix-la-Chapelle,10 edge of the Netherlands, was among the hardest in my experience for physical misery: begins at 5 (i.e. 4) a.m., no sleep behind it, nor any food before it, and last incessantly till 7 p.m. oftenest in slow trains, thro' broiling sun, sand clouds and manufacturing smoke,—ach Gott! My living was a cup of most lukewarm coffee swallowed like physic (whh it much resembled, as all German coffee does), and for eating to it, not even a crumb of bread-and-butter, raw-ham and bread,—to be washed down too in one of minute of time! On this, with a glass of soda-water & cognac, and farthing-loaf of tough bread, picked up somewhere, human nature had to subsist to Aix; arrive there abt 7, about 8½ try to eat, if you could, something tepid and questionable!11 Happily the bedroom12 was once more human: I was thoroughly done up; had I not slept there, I know not what cd have become of me. Next morning (Tuesday), stand upon the lid of Charlemagne,13—abominable monks roaring out their idolatrous grand music within sight;—Then embark again; scour along amid blazing sun and torrents of sand (speedy, but otherwise the damnablest travelling ever contrived for man); arrive at Ostend 6–7 p.m.; get on board a boat to Dover (mail-steamer) 6 hours (nothing to be had as living; Neuberg & others very sick); in Dover, 1 a.m.; tumult of custom houses, of overcrowded inns; in despair, try tea, and retire to one's garret,14 with nothing to depend upon but lucifers and tobacco thro' the night. It was not so bad as might have been expected, and I actually had some hour or two of broken sleep. Next day (yesterday) a fine train up to Town (12 noon—3½), Foxton branching off at Redhill (Reigate),15 and taking leave almost with tears.16 By the River Steamer17 I reach home, 4½ p.m, or rather later, and instantly wrote you an announcement; and did little else all night. Today after a good sleep, good coffee &c, I have as bad a headache as need be desired; and trace the strapazen [wearisomeness] of this Journey in a lively manner. I feel in me (down in the breast chiefly) the stock of cold I have had secretly these 3 weeks past;18 but otherwise ail nothing. Am busy sorting, with violent speed, the insignificant coil of "correspondence" &c,—chiefly some money bills, one from Tauchnitz19 £75, one from Ch Butler £1420 (that will pay all my expences and all yours, and is the only significant thing amid the dreary scrawls!)— I am going out to the Bank with these my first road. Poor Jack had provided me with tobacco &c, and was very good: I saw him for a little while last night; Nero trotting over with me, all as if it had been daily custom witht any interruption;—Jack had called here, and been turned away, while I lay asleep after my dinner of chop. Poor Waugh21 is dead, at Annan; trouble none of you any more: ah me, ah me! Jack had no other news.
I am grieved to the bone to think of you hurrying home on my account. I say, if I have any authority at all, Don't! Send me word where the keys are, if you can, I shall do quite well; or even if you cannot, I shall do well enough witht keys. Chambers22 lies ill next door; I have not heard how.— It is now your turn to write daily long letters: this is my last! For God's sake take care of yourself! My compliments and kind remembrances to both the Russells. I am still up to the throat in bother, and have such a headache. Adieu, dear Goodykin, Adieu. Yours ever
T. Carlyle

Here are six Financial Times reviews from the last few weeks. They cover events at the Joyce (two), Lincoln Center Festival (three) and outside along the Hudson for the River to River Festival.
To begin, the first of two reviews of Pilobolus's four week season at the Joyce (one week left), which features a collaboration with Art "Maus" Spiegleman (yay!):
There are two strains of Pilobolus – the illustrious dance troupe, not the lowly fungus. The first is comic, exploiting the outlandish possibilities of the human body by imagining its parts as something else: the belly button as electric outlet, the skull as a bell with the neck as its clapper, the torso as plough. The second dramatises the Kama Sutra – or tries, anyway, as hedonism may be a fine lifestyle choice but it stupefies on stage.
The two impulses – comic and sexy – cancel each other out, though this has not stopped the 40-year-old company from forcing them together in work after work. The costumes in the repertory pieces last week amounted to variations on the theme of underwear. The dramatic arcs went flat for the sake of the human origami. The soundscapes should have been consigned to a New Age nature show.
So it was a relief to find that the premieres – Hapless Hooligan in 'Still Moving', headlining the first of this summer's three programmes, and Hitched, the second programme's main event and the final piece by Pilobolus co-founder Jonathan Wolken, who died last month and to whom the season is dedicated – belong squarely in the comic camp…..

I should say, the contributions of Spiegelman–with his references to early comics, early jazz, early experimental animation–wasn't a relief to everyone. On the ladies' bathroom line, where all secrets will eventually be spilled, I heard a member of the Pilobolus inner circle confide to a friend, "So, okay, he can play Manhattan–and maybe Florida [nudge, nudge]–but the middle of the country?"
My followup review, of another Pilobolus premiere:
What laggards the Pilobolus choreographers have become. All but one of the five works on the Joyce's programme – the third, "Contradance" – begins in a fog or ends there. All but two, Gnomen and Pseudopodia, signal their purpose as if by weak wireless.
The four-decade-old troupe is renowned enough for its shape-shifting prowess that it is easy to overlook the theatrical savvy – until it goes missing. In the late co-founder Jonathan Wolken's 1973 solo Pseudopodia, the evening's best piece and its earliest, the moves are nothing special: mainly backward somersaults. But the extraordinary Jun Kuribayashi executes them so silkily – his legs switching places overhead like tongues of flame before he pulls them beneath him to complete the roll – that he comes to resemble a burning bush tumbled by the wind along an open prairie. When the flow of movement is checked – never abruptly but like the lull in a windstorm – you hold your breath. Without telling a story, Pseudopodia conjures a sense of infinitely rolling time. More often, the dances do tell a story (of sorts) and inspire only dismay.
Co-director Michael Tracy's 2008 Lanterna Magica fails to satisfy the most basic questions, such as, "Is this on land or sea?" and "What are fireflies doing with dolphins?" The premiere….
For the whole shabang, click here.
I did a pile of research for this review of the Thai choreographer Pichet Klunchun's Lincoln Center Festival show–and it proved barely enough to understand his "transformations" of classical form. Those of you in New York who want to learn more about the classical Thai dance known as khon might want to take a look at an hour-and-a-half documentary from 1973 of the famous "Floating Lady" episode that Klunchun excerpts. You can watch it in the research division of the Performing Arts Library, at Lincoln Center. Very worthwhile.
Pichet Klunchun's ensemble piece Chui Chai ("Transformation") at the Lincoln Center Festival begins with a bit of khon, a form of dance-drama cultivated in the Thai court and based on stories from the Thai Ramayana. A costume's quantity of gold brocade, the height of a headdress's spires and the level – floor or platform – on which a dancer reclines all signal a character's status. But the movement tells you whether or not he is good.
Thodsakarn (Ravana in Sanskrit) – lustful kidnapper of Rama's devoted wife Sita – is bad, for example. You can tell by the immodest splay of his limbs, the cock of his wrist to mimic a spearhead and the impatient stamp of his foot. When his niece Benyaki agrees to transform into Sita to trick Rama, the impulsive demon king sways in triumphant laughter. Benyaki's imitation Sita, in contrast, is seamlessly fluid. Her wrists – the most eloquent part of the body in khon – draw figures in the air and her feet trace circles on the ground.
The scene where Benyaki's flickering temper subsides into Sita's dead calm can be mesmerising, but Klunchun – best known for his 2004 collaboration with comic French conceptualist Jerome Bel – is more interested in other transformations, namely that of Thai culture and the place of khon within it. In a pause in the action, we hear Bangkok pedestrians draw a blank when asked about Sita or assert that this one-time model Thai woman would be a sex worker today, servicing Rama and Thodsakarn alike. Soon….

I had been underwhelmed by the first (for us, anyway) of Bill T. Jones's Lincoln trilogy, Serenade/The Proposition, and had very much wanted to like it, as I could see the work in it and its thoughtfulness. So it was exciting to find the second piece solved the problems of the first, finding a way to get the diverse layers to meaningfully coexist.
When Bill T. Jones was invited to create a piece for Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday, he made sure it wasn't for Black History Month. Fondly Do We Hope . . . Fervently Do We Pray reassures us too, approaching the Great Emancipator without patriotic dutifulness or bloviating.
The richly layered work for 10 dancers, two singers, a narrator and three multitasking musician-composers begins small. Gorgeous Shayla-Vie Jenkins walks on to a platform off the front of the stage and, while we listen to part of Walt Whitman's detailed praise song of the body – "Leg fibres, knee, knee-pan, upper-leg, under-leg" reads one line – she dances with like-minded factuality, sumptuously yet precisely. Other equally individual cameos are danced to dispassionate statements of belief and scepticism: "He heard of the government of the people for those people," warm-voiced narrator Jamyl Dobson says of an anonymous someone, "but who are those people and is he one of them?"
Throughout most of the 90 minutes, Fondly balances the warm and symbolic with the cool and concrete, the past with its sedimentation in the present, and "the people" with simply a person…..
For the whole review, click here.
It was also neat to watch, soon afterward, Jones's homage to Merce Cunningham, in a tribute show the River to River Festival put on along the Hudson on the anniversary of the great choreographer's death:
Last year, the Merce Cunningham Dance Company performed in Rockefeller Park along the Hudson River the day after a terrible storm and a week after the great choreographer died, aged 90. The Event, as Cunningham dubbed his seamless compilations of repertory, took place in cleansed air and sunlight, and the dance possessed a similar clarity; to have something so bright and sharp with which to say goodbye was a relief.
This year hundreds of people came out on another lovely day for The River to River Festival's Event for Merce. Five New York choreographers presented new work inspired by the Cunningham look or method, or repurposed (as we say in the Age of Trash) old work in Event-like fashion.
Tribute shows are tricky. Those who the guest of honour has had a strong hand in shaping, artistically, are hardly in a position to sort out what they have taken from him; those not under the influence may not feel enough affinity. This show erred in the latter direction – its net was cast too wide.
Faye Driscoll – at 34, the youngest of the choreographers – is a real talent, but she is driven by character and story, precisely what Cunningham left behind.
Minimalist Lucinda Childs – at 70, the oldest – may share his formalist concerns, but as the Philip Glass of dance (though plainer) she functions as an anti-Merce. Cunningham makes you feel the loveliness of such essentials of physics as time: the windows of possibility that open when things happen (as they always do). Childs works according to an airtight logic that locks out not only possibility but even probability. Inevitability prevails in dances that involve the smallest number of steps subjected to the simplest temporal and spatial schemes.
Jon Kinzel, Susan Marshall and Bill T. Jones are smarter choices….

And finally, the tragedy and pathos that can be evoked with a bit of delicately assembled string and wire:
Rezo Gabriadze's Battle of Stalingrad: A Requiem takes place on a table about six feet wide and three deep. It is an ideal size for a mammoth subject – not only the five-month battle that reduced Stalin's model city on the Volga to rubble and ended millions of lives but, more largely, human vulnerability.
The 74-year-old Georgian playwright, director and puppetmaker depicts the relentless fighting with typical poetic economy. His five puppeteers in black stand shoulder-to-shoulder to slide metal sheets arrayed with rows of tiny helmets along the table to the beat of a spirited Soviet martial tune; when a battalion reaches the table edge, the puppeteer returns it to the back of the line, as if soldiers could be recycled and still there would not be enough of them to fill the maw of war. There never were enough for Stalin, the puppet drama suggests.
More than depicting battle, though, Stalingrad offers glimpses of the people – soldier and civilian – about to die. We meet a Berlin artist, an Odessa gunner, a Kiev handyman, a "transport specialist" (in Soviet parlance, a horse) and a people's artist of the Bashkyr Autonomous Republic (a horse, this time of the circus variety) moments before the life gets knocked out of them.
We know these creatures – their place in society and their character – by the stuff Gabriadze has made them of and by their size…..

In dramatic and narrative power, Virgil's Aeneid is the equal of its great Homeric predecessors, The Iliad and The Odyssey.

Str8 Hair Addicts...I was very skeptical at first when i got it. It looked very cheap and was super light. But once i got to using it it... i turned right around and bought a whole set of them. Ive never have a brush that made hair basically flat iron straight with just a blow dryer. i use it on almost all my clients. Great for quick smoothing and getting people in and out of the salon. The hourglass shape really pulls the hair from the roots and doesnt send the hair flying everwhere when u have the blowdryer full blast.

The specter of war encompasses many predictably tragic outcomes. Every now and then, the close proximity of different nationalities during wartime also brings about more positive developments. In the new release GI BRIDES, historians Duncan Barrett and Nuala Calvi tell the story of British women captivated by American GI's during World War II. The non-fiction narrative focuses primarily on the stories of four women: Margaret (Calvi's grandmother), Gwendolyn, Sylvia and Rae, and the sweeping romances that found them married and heading to America at the end of the war, sometimes with scant, real knowledge of their partners. GI BRIDES chronicles the enduring romance of some of the brides and the extraordinary determination and strength of others who had to re-invent themselves alone in a foreign land once their marriages failed.
Rae, a bride whose story is featured in the book, is doing well these days and residing in Pittsburgh. Akron, Ohio is close to Nuala's heart, as it's the city where her grandmother's destiny played out. June, soon to be the subject of her own standalone e-book, currently resides in California.
GI BRIDES ushers in a fascinating chapter of WWII history for those who are not familiar with this wide spread historical trend—and for others, it will be a reminder of the stories of their mothers, grandmothers and aunts. Fortunately for Examiner, we were able to sit down with Duncan Barrett, co-author of the book, and pick his brain about the imaginative, sweeping narrative of GI BRIDES.
Nikki Tiani: Tell us who was enjoying an evening digestif after dinner when the inspiration for GI Brides struck? How did you become co-authors as a result?
Duncan Barrett: Nuala [Calvi, co-author of GI Brides] and I were spending a lot of time interviewing older ladies about their lives for our last book, The Sugar Girls, when we suddenly realized: why are we talking to everyone else's grandmothers and not our own? So Nuala started interviewing her grandmother, Margaret, about her early life – and she was astonished at the story she heard. She had grown up knowing her grandmother's second husband, Patrick, as her grandfather, but in fact her real grandfather had been an American GI stationed in Britain during World War Two, and Margaret had been one of the first ever World War Two war brides to come to America. When we heard that, we knew what our next book had to be about.
NT: As this is the Pittsburgh Book Examiner column, of course everyone feels most dear to Rae - what's she up to these days?
DB: Rae is a very sprightly 90-year-old – just this summer she flew over to England (on her own!) to catch up with relatives, and we met her for a pint in the pub. She can still fit into her WW2 Army uniform and now wears it to give talks about her wartime experiences to schoolchildren. She's an American citizen, but she still feels great loyalty to Britain as well – she flies both the stars and stripes and the union jack in her garden.
NT: Where are the rest of our brides? My own mother-in-law was a Vietnam war bride herself, and she's, admittedly, not assimilated as well as could be expected - even after 30 years on American soil. Did any of these ladies experience a culture shift? Were they forced to lean on one another (if acquainted), as a result?
DB: They are all over America – literally. When we researched the book we covered 13,000 miles in a little Fiat 500, interviewing war brides in 38 states. Of course California and Florida (popular retirement destinations) are more heavily populated. Wherever they settled, every bride faced challenges in adapting to a new culture, and sometimes it was the little things that really got them. One woman told us how she was defeated by supermarket shopping – in England at that time you would have shop assistants serve you from behind the counter, but helping herself to things from the shelves for the first time made her feel like a thief, and she ran out of the shop empty-handed. Not long after they arrived, the brides began to form their own support groups, where they would meet up and drink tea and eat Victoria sponge cake. Those groups still exist and the WWII War Brides Association has a grand reunion once a year that draws war brides from all over the country.
NT: You're coming back to the Pittsburgh area to see Rae and give a talk about war brides - where will that be held? And what's your favorite Pittsburgh locale?
DB: We'll be giving a talk – open to all – at the McKeesport Heritage Center in Renziehausen Park at 3pm on September 12. We'll be sharing some of the stories we gathered from the many war brides we have interviewed – and Rae will be there too, sharing her memories of welding tanks for D-Day and sailing across the Atlantic in 1946 to meet her GI husband. The heritage center was very useful to us when we came here for our research two years ago – and it has a fabulous scale model of an old steel works. We also loved the Heinz History Center, which has an amazing collection of artefacts and documents. But the highlight of our trip was having lunch at a little diner in Finleyville where Rae worked in the 1950s. We ordered a Pittsburgh Salad and were astonished to find it came with fries on top!
NT: How long did it take the ladies to agree to be interviewed, or tell their stories? The texture of the book is incredibly intricate, and is telling of your expertise in narrative and piecing together these remarkable stories.
DB: We were very touched by how open and generous the women were with their stories and their time. We usually started with an initial interview of around an hour or so, and then went back and spoke to the women we chose as our core characters for the book in more detail, over the course of several days. They were very patient with our endless, seemingly trivial questions – what the weather was like on a particular day in 1944, or how they fixed their hair for a dance – but we've learnt that it's the smaller details that make a story come to life.
NT: Did you have any other candidates on your radar to learn about, or did you set out with only these four ladies in mind?
DB: We set out with a very open mind. We knew that Nuala's grandmother would be one of the women we focused on in the book, but when we arrived in America in August 2012 we just knew we had three months to track down three more equally fascinating stories. It was a nerve-wracking experience, knowing that if we didn't find enough war brides before our visa ran out we'd really be in a bit of a pickle. But we ended up with more than 60 stories to pick from, all of which could have been books in their own right. In fact, as well as the four main women whose stories are told in the book, we wrote about a fifth lady, June, whose story is being released as an e-book exclusive.
NT: Now for the fun stuff! How lucky are you and why?
DB: Nuala and I feel very lucky doing the work we do. It's a privilege spending our time talking to these extraordinary women – part of the 'greatest generation' – about their lives. Sadly, the women we interview often tell us that people around them take little interest in their experiences, and they are really pleased to find a receptive audience. We feel it's really important to record these kinds of stories before it's too late.
NT: Individually, are you more hunters, gatherers or a neat amalgamation?
DB: Nuala and I are both vegetarian, so I think you'd have to say we're gatherers! But in terms of our research, it does feel like a hunting expedition – going out into unfamiliar territory in search of the perfect story.
NT: What do you dislike about humanity?
DB: It's depressing the way our culture is so obsessed with youth, and often ignores and trivializes older people. It seems wrong that people who have done so much for their country are frequently lonely and isolated in old age.
NT: If you were 80 years old, what would you tell your children?
DB: Not to move too far away! We spend a lot of time hanging out with old ladies, and the ones who have family nearby are nearly always the happiest.
NT: Funniest thing that has happened on your book tour:
DB: Driving around America we stayed in some pretty sketchy motels. One night in Alabama we were caught in a torrential rainstorm and decided to stop at the first place we saw. When we opened the door to our bathroom we found a large hole in the outside wall – and a giant toad sitting on the floor that had come in to escape the rain. But the man who ran the motel had been so kind and encouraging when he learned we were writing a book that we didn't have the heart to complain.
NT: Anything else you'd like to add?
DB: If you know any WW2 war brides who would like to speak to us, get in touch through our website www.gibrides.com (which is also where the book can be purchased- NT). We always want to hear new stories!

SANTA ANA, Calif. – No. 5 Stanford shot consecutive rounds of 1-over 289 Monday to lead the 13-team field at UC Irvine Invitational. The women's golf team enters the final round with a 10-stroke lead over second-place Texas A&M and seeks a second straight win for the first time since the opening two contests of the 2013 spring campaign.
Individual leader Mariah Stackhouse was 5-under through two rounds, and was joined in the top 10 by teammates Lauren Kim (+1) and Casey Danielson (+3), who were tied for fifth and eighth, respectively.
"We had strong contributions today from all five players," Margot and Mitch Milias Director of Women's Golf Anne Walker said. "We will be able to compete for a lot of championships if we continue to have consistency from our four and five players. They have been doing a great job of keeping it around 75 or better.
"Mariah, Casey and Lauren all posted great rounds, which is the reason we have a chance to win. I know every player on our team can play even better, and we're working on that."
The tournament concludes with the final 18 holes Tuesday beginning at 7:45 a.m. (PT). The individual winner of the tournament will receive a sponsor exemption to the 2014 Kia Classic (March 27-30) at the Aviara Golf Club.
Stackhouse was 2-under through her first 18 holes at the par-72 Santa Ana Country Club. After a bogey on the third hole of her second round, Stackhouse posted four birdies to finish with a 3-under 69 to end the day.
Kim followed an opening-round 74 with a 1-under 71, including birdies on four and 10. Danielson, who tied for second with Kim at last week's Peg Barnard Invitational, went 69 in the first round but used nine more strokes to finish the second 18 with a 78.
Quirine Eijkenboom stumbled out of the gate and went 76-74 to finish at 6-over through 36 holes. Mariko Tumangan had four birdies during her second stint through the course and posted rounds of 76-75 to finish tied for 18th at 7-over.

Best Buy refreshed it Deal of the Day and revealed a steep discount for one of the hottest games from the 2013 holiday shopping season. Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U owners can pick up "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" for a little more than a pirate song for Friday, April 25 only.
"Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" is discounted $26 to just $13.99 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U at Best Buy. For those wondering, the PS4 and Xbox One versions are still at the full $59.99 price.
That's not the only gaming offer as part of the retailer's daily deal. The white PS3 DualShock 3 controller is marked down $25 to $29.99 and the Rocketfish Xbox 360 Chat Headset is a little more than 50 percent off at $5.99.
Free shipping is available from Best Buy but only on orders of $25 or more. You can opt for free in-store pickup though. State sales tax is applicable.
"Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" is the sixth title in the "Assassin's Creed" franchise. The game is set in the Caribbean during the early 18th century and the Golden Age of Piracy. The game puts players in the role of pirate Edward Kenway, grandfather of "Assassin's Creed III" main character Connor/Ratonhnhaké:ton, who stumbles into the conflict waged by the Assassins and Templars.
As the setting suggests, gameplay focuses heavily on ship-based exploration and combat on an open-world map. Players will be tasked with upgrading their ship throughout and can also go diving for treasure or hunting for whales, sharks and other ocean-faring wildlife.
There are still plenty of land-based sections though that keeps the series' traditional free-running style of gameplay and combat. Multiplayer returns as well but there is no naval multiplayer combat. The signature semi-historical nature of the series continues as well with figures such as Black Beard and Anne Bonny appearing.
