ACADEMY: Grant added to 2013 intake14-Feb-2013
Further to the original announcement regarding Sussex's Academy intake last month, the Club have confirmed the addition of Sam Grant to the programme.
Grant is a 17 year-old all-rounder, who bowls left-arm seam and bats in the top-order. He plays his Club Cricket for Steyning in the Sussex Cricket League, and he is the latest player to have been accepted on to the programme.
The Brighton College student will join Georgia Adams, Harry Finch, Ollie Graham, Josh Hayward, Elliott Hooper, Fynn Hudson-Prentice, Callum Jackson, Tim Moses, Abidine Sakande, Leo Cammish and Ben Shoare in the setup.
It was Sussex's connections at the College which brought Grant to the attention of Cricket Performance Manager Keith Greenfield, with former Sussex Women's player and Director of Cricket at Brighton College Alexia Walker, and Les Lenham who has of course been involved with the County for over 60 years, having worked closely with Sam over the past year.
Greenfield said, "Les approached me earlier in the year about Sam and how well he was developing, so we kept an eye on him and invited him to practice with our Development Squads and Academy.
"He performed very well and we had no hesitation in offering Sam a place on the Academy. He clearly has the drive to improve his skills and we look forward to helping him achieve his goals and aspirations".
He will join the existing eleven players on a bespoke yearly programme covering physical, technical, mental, tactical and life skills. These are delivered by Sussex's professional coaching staff, primarily on a one to one basis, with all programmes overseen by Greenfield at The BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground, Hove and the Sutton Winson Academy Ground in Blackstone.

REPORT: Nash and Joyce settle in on rain-affected day at Worcester18-May-2012
Sussex will take a lead of 199 runs into Day Four of their LV=CC clash with Worcestershire at New Road.
Worcestershire could only add ten more runs this morning before James Anyon got the first wicket of the day. Wicketkeeper Ben Scott was caught on the crease and adjudged lbw. The hosts managed to creep over the 250 when David Lucas edged too far out of his ground when fending off Monty Panesar, as sharp work by Chris Nash at short leg saw him throw down the stumps and Lucas was easily out of his ground.
And it was Monty who had the final say with Richard Jones the last man to go, going for a big shot but only managing to scoop the ball to Naveed Arif Gondal at mid-on. Worcestershire were dismissed for 259, 56 behind Sussex's first innings total.
Nash and Ed Joyce set about their task in style and raced towards a century stand. It was the first time that the pairing had reached a hundred stand since almost a year to the day when they put on 201 against Somerset. The two successive balls after the century came up saw Joyce and Nash reach their half-centuries respectively.
Sussex reached 143 without loss when the inevitable gloom descended on New Road and play was called to a halt for bad light. Rain later on in the day ensured that there was no play after 3pm and the visitors will resume 199 runs ahead in the morning on the fourth and final day.

Each Vintage Kantha is a handcrafted masterpiece made from recycled vintage cotton saris. Hand-sewn and embroidered by artisans in India, each provides a livelihood for women in poor communities and gives their children the opportunity to live better, more productive lives.
Kantha is the ancient Indian art of embroidery, and the actual "kantha" is a simple running or pick stitch. The background of the cloth is embroidered with thousands of small and delicate kantha stitches to create a beautiful reversible one of a kind. While making these meticulously crafted Kanthas, the cloth is given layers that are kept together by the stitches. Due to the handcrafted nature of these pieces, there may be small patches and quilts may not align perfectly when folded. These are traits inherent in hand-made pieces and are the mark of human hands and artisan expression.
We believe it is our shared responsibility to help defend against the impacts of climate change. That's why we've pledged our commitment to achieve a net zero carbon footprint by 2020.
Through innovation in product design, building better efficiencies in our supply chain and Carbonfree® shipping, we've been able to decrease our carbon footprint across all aspects of the business. Now we're on a mission to become the first carbon neutral home goods company ever.
We remain committed to our 3 core causes: Fair Wages & Safe Workplaces, Clean Water & Water Conservation and Forest Preservation & Restoration. And we will continue to plant a tree with every purchase. But now, by 2020, we'll have neutralized our carbon footprint on the planet.
Together, we can change the world, one room at a time.

According to Oxford University research, planting and growing trees is the best way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reverse global warming.
Bambeco is proud to partner with American Forests, the oldest national nonprofit conservation organization in the country, for a joint commitment to restore and protect forests and minimize climate change.
With every Bambeco purchase, American Forests will plant a tree. That means every earth friendly purchase adds another tree to our landscape and another step towards counteracting climate change.
Since we launched our "Every Purchase Plants a Tree" initiative, we've planted over 30,000 trees—enough trees to supply oxygen for 40,000 people, save and clean 2.4 billion gallons of water and absorb 480 tons of carbon dioxide per year!
Together, we'll grow forests.

A rib fracture is a break in a rib bone. Bruised muscles and damaged ligaments often happen with a rib fracture. With a rib fracture, the lungs and other organs can be injured. More than one rib fracture after a trauma can indicate serious internal injury.
Rib fractures are caused by:
- A direct blow to the rib
- Crushing of the chest, such as in contact sports, a car accident, or having CPR
- Severe coughing incidents that can occur with lung problems or at high altitude
- Rib fractures in young children are often a sign of abuse
Risk Factors
Rib fractures are common in people 65 years and older. Other factors that may increase your chance of a rib fracture include:
- Difficulty doing activities of daily living—generally with eldery people
- Playing contact sports
- Weak bones
- Chronic cough
Extreme repetitive upper body activity, such as in:
- Throwing
- Basketball
- Golf
- Rowing
- Weight lifting
- Occupations involving a lot of overhead lifting
- History of rib or chest fracture
Rib fracture may cause:
- Pain in the ribs or upper chest area
- Pain when breathing or coughing
- Swelling and bruising in the fracture area
- Severe local tenderness in the fracture area
- Shortness of breath
- Internal bleeding
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and how the injury occurred. Your chest, lungs, and back will be examined.
Imaging tests can evaluate your chest and surrounding structures. These may include:
Treatment may include:
Rest, without physical activity until the pain has gone away.
Your doctor may suggest wearing a chest binder around your ribs to protect them. The binder may help you breathe properly. It is important to take deep breaths so that the lungs remain clear. Pneumonia can develop after rib fractures if you are not breathing deeply enough. If you play contact sports, you may need to wear a rib cage protector for 6-8 weeks when you return to playing.
Your doctor may recommend that you take over-the-counter medication to help reduce inflammation and pain, such as ibuprofen.
Physical Therapy
As your ribs heal, a physical therapist can teach you breathing exercises. The therapist can also help you maintain range of motion in arm and shoulder joints.
Intercostal Nerve Blocks
Special injections with local anesthetic can temporarily relieve pain.
Epidural Anesthesia
Sometimes, a temporary epidural catheter is used to place anesthetic near the spinal cord and nerves. This can help severe cases where the injury requires hospitalization.
Hospitalization is usually only needed if there are complications such as damage to organs in the chest.
Sometimes rib fractures cannot be prevented. To help reduce your chance of a rib fracture:
- Wear seat belts with shoulder strap.
- Wear protective equipment, such as rib pads, when playing contact sports.
- Avoid over-training.
- Learn the proper technique for exercise and sporting activities.
Maintain strong bones by:
- Getting plenty of calcium in your diet
- Doing weight-bearing exercise
- Not smoking

I'm not sure that you got my private message, because it showed up in my outbox but not the sent box. (As you can tell I am a newbie, and don't quite have the hang of this.) So, I just wanted to try sending it again to make sure you get it. I apologize if it is a duplicate.
Okay, now I am posting directly to the topic, because both private messages stayed in my outbox. (If someone can tell me what I am doing wrong, I'd appreciate it.) Sorry.
I would like to try to join the tea party tomorrow. I just signed up for Skype, and I bought headphones. Could you send me instructions on how to join in? However, never having used either, I still may not be successful in joining.
My Skype name is graceleejenkins.
Gassho, Grace.

Collard greens? Check.
Black-eyed peas? Check.
Ham? Check.
With these three ingredients, I'm now set to eat a meal filled with good fortune on New Year's Day. And lord knows, I need all the help I can get. Don't get me wrong, 2007, for the most part, was a fantastic year, and a large portion of this year's goodness was because of you.
For instance, this blog made it possible to make new friends and correspond with a ton of interesting people from all over the world. This blog also gave me the opportunity to create new recipes and share them with you, my dear readers. This blog also enabled me to return to Texas more times than I normally do. And so, thanks to all of you and your comments and conversation—writing Homesick Texan and interacting with fellow food lovers has made 2007 a year filled with joy.
The past couple of weeks, however, have been a bit of a trial. Sadly, I lost my dear cat Lily. And last Sunday, while attempting to cut some vegetables with a not-so-sharp paring knife, the knife slipped and ended up in my thumb. With some skin flapping and the blood gushing, I realized that a simple Band-Aid wouldn't suffice. So I grabbed a roll of paper towels and wrapped them around my thumb, threw on my coat, and hopped on the subway to ride the two stops to St. Vincent's emergency room. Two hours and four stitches later, I was back in my kitchen, but an important lesson was learned—keep your knives sharp!
Now two unpleasant events do not a bad year make, but I'm not taking any chances going into 2008, so I decided I needed to eat extra lucky foods on New Year's Day just to be sure I'm covered. Traditionally in the South and Texas, collard greens, black-eyed peas and ham (or some other pork product such as ham hocks or pig's feet) are eaten on New Year's Day. The collard greens are for hope and wealth, the black-eyed peas are for good fortune and the pork is so you can live high on the hog. Throw in some cornbread, which is good for gold, and you've got a heart-warming, belly-satisfying, most fortunate meal.
I am, however, lazy. If I can throw everything together in one pot, well all the better for when it comes time to do the dishes. And after seeing a collard green, ham and black-eyed pea soup recipe that ran in Gourmet a few years ago, I knew that's just what I would make. I adjusted the recipe, throwing in a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes and a diced carrot for color and richer flavor, and some chipotles for heat. And since it's collards we're cooking, I fried up my aromatics in bacon grease for that extra push of pork power.
If you're searching for a simple meal for New Year's Day, look no further. This hearty soup is smoky and spicy, perfect for curling up on the couch with a piece of cornbread for dipping into the bowl. And the best thing about it is you can make it the day before, so you don't even have to cook on New Year's Day. But if you make it ahead of time, be careful not to eat all of it, which I'm currently in danger of doing since I keep sneaking back to the stove and dipping my spoon into the pot. At the rate I'm going, I won't have any left for Tuesday. Though that said, this soup is a snap and if need be, I could easily whip up another batch.
So Happy New Year, dear readers! Thank you so much for all of your camaraderie and good cheer in 2007—you make writing this blog a true joy and pleasure. I am privileged to have gotten to know so many of you. And may your 2008 be filled with good fortune, happiness and lots of comforting, memorable meals!
New Year's Day Good Fortune Soup (adapted from Gourmet)
1/2 pound of collard greens, stems removed and chopped
1/2 pound of cooked ham, diced
2 15 oz. cans of black-eyed peas (can use fresh or frozen as well)
1 small onion, diced
6 cloves of garlic, minced
1 large carrot, diced
5 chipotle chiles chopped
1 can of Ro-Tel tomatoes
1 teaspoon of thyme
4 cups of chicken broth
2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
A pinch of sugar
2 tablespoons of bacon grease (can use olive oil or vegetable oil if you prefer)
Salt and pepper to taste
1. In a large pot, cook the onion and carrots in the bacon grease on medium-high heat for 10 minutes or until onions start to turn golden. Add the garlic and cook for three more minutes.
2. Add to the pot the collard greens, vinegar, sugar, ham, chicken stock, chipotles, Ro-Tel tomatoes and thyme, and bring pot to a boil and then simmer for half an hour, stirring occasionally.
3. Take one can of black-eyed peas, and roughly mash with a fork. Add these and the other can of black-eyed peas to the pot.
4. Continue to simmer soup for another 45 minutes.
Serves 6-8
Note: If you don't want to use pork, that's fine, but don't replace the pork with chicken if you're going to eat this on New Year's Day. Why? Well, they say eating chickens is a no-no since the birds scratch backwards. I know, I know, I'm not really superstitious, but might as well not take any chances!

Good fortune soup for the New Year

Your poor thumb! And you were so bad-ass, not even hailing a cab. I would have not only gone for the cab, I probably would have made Alex come home and hail it for me.
I love the idea of this soup, because my feelings are mixed about black eyed peas unless there are a lot of other flavors, so this could be perfect. Also wanted to let you know I ordered some grapefruits from that organic place in Texas you mentioned last month and cannot wait to get them!
Hope you have a happy new year!

I'm so sorry to hear about Lily. It's so hard to lose our four-footed friends.
Your blog has definitely made my 2007 better--three cheers for 2008!
- Frank said...
And a Texas-sized Happy New Year to you! My '07 began with the loss of a great drinking buddy, followed by my dad in August, but I see all kinds of good stuff for 2008. Heck even my Texans won yesterday, for their first 8-8 season ever!
BTW, glad to see cornbread on your menu! Hope to see you again this coming year at The Hot Sauce Fest!
P.S.-I am coming up for 2 things:
1)Yankee Game before they tear it down;
2) BBQ Block Party!
- radish said...
Happy New Year to you too!! I've got a huge crush/love on Texas now, so I feel your nostalgia. Sorry about Lily and thumb - I'm so glad to have met you this year and adore your blog - looking forward to more recipes in 2008!

Oh I am so sorry to read about your precious Lily. We have just put our sweet Soshie down this morning as well after 3 months of recovering from swallowing a mylar streamer(you can read about it at my blog). I'm reeling and trying not to cry every time I let my mind get still.
I also cut my thumb, exactly a week before Christmas while cutting up peppers. My knife was sharp, thumb was just in the wrong place. It should have had stitches but I had my hubby rush home with gauze and a metal finger cot and was able to get it healed. But lordy it hurt!
We are headed out in a bit to buy some blackeyed peas(I thought I had them in the freezer but don't) and ham. I've got cabbage but no collard greens, I may leave them out and put in celery. My father-in-law is Cajun so mine may have more leanings that way. It amazes me that I have every other ingredient, even the chipotles!
I hope your new year is as wonderful as all get out! Peace to you.

Sorry too hear about Lily. Your blog has been a great addition to our 2007 as we are homesick Texans in Wisconsin and I now can make chili gravy to hold us over til we get to Ojeda's.
In 2008 could you please do a migas recipe?
Thank you and Happy New Year!!
- Christine (myplateoryours) said...
I am sorry about Lily and about your thumb. Pretty amazed you got into an emergency room and back home in a couple of hours, though. Your good fortune is setting in already.
Last year I followed your example and ate black-eyed peas on Jan 1 and while it wasn't a stellar year, it was very, very good. Am laying in more peas and some fabulous pork sausage from a local shop for tomorrow's lunch. Collards too, if I can find them.
You have a very happy New Year, Lisa!!
- Lydia said...
May 2008 bring you more of the good things, and a knife sharpener for your next birthday! Happy New Year, Lisa, and thanks for a wonderful year of posts.
- hensteeth said...
Wishing you a 2008 filled with all the goodies you crave.
Happy New Year!
- Ronnie (http://aroundthetable.typepad.com) said...
Sorry to hear about Lily and your thumb. Unfortunately I know what both those experiences feel like. I have really enjoyed reading your blog over the last year. Interesting recipe and love the pictures. Really eye catching. Happy New Year.
- Homesick Texan said...
Deb--When I tell the story, everyone asks the same thing, "Why didn't you hail a cab?" I think because it was raining that night, and it's so darn impossible to get a cab when it's wet outside that the subway just seemed like the quickest option. I think you'd like the soup--the black-eyed peas are just a bit player. And I hope you enjoy the grapefruit! Happy new year!
Alexis--Thanks, she had a long and happy life, and it wasn't unexpected, just sort of sad to happen at the holidays.
Eonyc--Three cheers for 2008 indeed! Huzzah!
Frank--I'm so sorry to hear about your losses, especially your dad. But yes, I see good things in 2008 as well! And look me up when you're in town--are you working the Blue Smoke booth?
Radish--Yay to your crush on Texas! Hopefully we NYers can get together soon, and you and I can talk Texas! Happy new year, Olga--I'm glad I had the chance to meet you as well!
SteamyKitchen--Happy new year to you, too, my friend! I can't wait to see what you come up with in 2008!
Molly--My heart goes out to you--I know just how you feel. As my uncle says--mourn the loss, celebrate the life. Happy new year!
Chantele--As a migas lover, I think that could be arranged!
Christine--My emergency room strategy was to park myself right in front of the triage window dripping blood so they'd admit me STAT. And it worked! Have a happy new year, Christine!
Lydia--Thank YOU for a wonderful year of posts! I learn something new everytime I read your blog. Happy new year!
Hensteeth--And may you too recieve all the goodies you crave. Happy new year!
Ronnie--Thank you, I'm glad I discovered your blog (via Christine) as well. Happy new year!
- Julie said...
I'm sorry to hear about Lily. I seem to remember you saying in a previous post that she was 17 and that's a ripe old age for a cat. Of course, even when you expect the death, and even when you know your pet has lived a long and happy life, it's sad.
Taking the subway to the emergency room? You're a trooper.
Happy new year! I'm looking forward to reading your 2008 posts.
- AnnieKNodes said...
"...that extra push of pork power" is my favorite blog phrase of 2008. Love it.
I want to join in on the condolences about sweet Lily. She was a lucky kitty to be able to grow up around such yummy kitchen smells.
Happy 2008 Miz Lisa!
- k said...
I'm so glad you posted about our fantastic New Year's tradition back home. And I'm always happy to see cornbread and collard greens make an appearance on any foodie blog. :D
Here's to a wonderful 2008 for you and yours. Can't wait to see what it holds for my favorite Texas blogger!
- Sam said...
I am sorry to hear the bad news. But I have faith that the black eyed peas will make everything better. I am counting on it. Have a good one.
And it's funny - i have had your last year post open on my computer a couple of days whilst I was writing my own blog post for today but it wasn't til I'd finished and checking my links I noticed your this year post - and I can't believe we both used the "check" with an ingredient list in our posts.
Must be something in those black eyed peas!
- Miss Meat and Potatoes said...
Hi Homesick Texan! I am so sorry about your Lily. That breaks my heart. I too have a Lily that I got twelve years ago as a freshman at UT and can't even bear to think about life without her one day.
Onto a happier subject - guess what my husband's favorite present was this year even over Guitar Hero? The old school Dr. Pepper I ordered online! We too are misplaced Texans living in NYC so he just adored it. Might have started an expensive habit though:)
Well, best of luck to you in the New Year! Keep on writing!
- Sandy said...
I am so sorry about your Lily. Your thumb? I feel your pain...ugh!
Hubby and I just finished these peas and, after 22 years of marriage and 22 years of black-eyed peas on New Year's Day, these are the absolute BEST! Thanks so much.
- JEP said...
I've had a grest time stopping by your blog during 2007 & look forward to your providing us with lots of good eats during 2008!
- Cynthia said...
Oh yeah, this is a soup for the soup-Gods!
Happy new year!
- swampy said...
My first visit here...so sorry about your Lily. Only pet lovers can understand your pain. We lost our dear Junior a year ago January 2. I still miss him.
The recipe sounds scrumptious, minus the thumb.
Since I'm not home, my black-eyed peas were naked this year. Only ham and salt, but nevertheless, they were good and I ate enough of them, good luck should follow me all the days of my life.
Stop by some time. Today we are building Gingerbread Houses.
- Mansi Desai said...
nice soup recipe! the ingredients are pretty uniquely combined:) I'll have to make a veggie version though..
- Dez said...
Thank you! This is the best ham Hoppin' John! I made this yesterday, called my brother and told him to make it and brought some in for the folks at work.
The new year is off to a good start.
- Mama T said...
Too bad I missed this post as it would have been yummy for New Years. I could still try it though..
And am I the only one that had to have a second and even third look at the (now obviously) photo of ham to ensure that it wasn't a picture of your hacked up thumb? Thanks for not sharing a picture of the injury!
- sugarlaws said...
i'm sorry about lily, and about your thumb! i went to st vincent's with a cooking injury once, ironically, but mine was from cutting squash! happy new year!
- Brin said...
Crap, Lisa. I'm so sorry to read about the passing of Lily and the mutilation of the thumb. When I say I feel for you, I mean it. My cat, Maebelline, died in September, and I spent ALL of the holidays nursing my left index finger (which I sliced a chunk off with a new Santuko knife)....
It gets better - the empty house... "I want my cat"... hysteria. AND the flesh wounds. Somehow it really does. But until then, you're in my thoughts.
My Messy, Thrilling Life
- ann said...
Happy New Year Lisa!!!
I'm so sorry about Lily. That's a bummer. But 2008? It's going to be great, especially with more of your awesome meals. Thanks, and best wishes!
- Veron said...
Here's to lots of good luck in the New Year. I had string of bad luck running up to the new year, but it made me want to welcome 2008 all the more.
- Anonymous said...
Bless Ms. Lily! Not sure where people go, but am positive our sweet fur-friends go to a beautiful place where they can play and sleep to their hearts content.
Made the soup recipe and it was devine! HEB has a pre-cut, pre-washed bag of mixed greens. Loved it.
Hope the thumb is not slowing you down any. Here's to a wonderful new year!
- Pille said...
Happy New Year (and may you have lots of good fortune in 2008:)
- Lisa said...
I'm so sorry to hear about Lily. And then your thumb, and riding the subway to get it taken care of?! That's ghastly. I did something similar to my thumb some months ago, only I sort of sliced the end off of it, so it couldn't be stitched, even. But, hey, that was last year.
Your soup sounds so hearty and spicy! I've co-opted the Southern tradition, and for some years now I've made the peas & ham, collards, etc., on New Year's Day (don't know if the luck works for me, a West-Coast and now Midwestern girl, but I always hope so). I just adore blackeyed peas.
Thanks for this great new soup idea. All the best for a happy and healthy 2008. Looking forward to what you have in store on the blog!
- Smitty said...
Condolences on the loss of your cat. You are right to say "celebrate the life." It sounds like you and Lily and a lot of wonderful years together.
And thank you for the soup recipe-- now I know what to do with all my leftover ham and collards from New Year's Day! Here's to a happier 2008!
- lobstersquad said...
yum. I love black-eyed peas, but always forget to cook them.
I made do with lentils and sausages for a good luck dish.Happy New Year!
- Mike said...
Whenever in your in the "old neighborhood"...visit Mena's Tex Mex at the corner of Trinity Mills and Marsh....we had our office "holiday meal" at this one of a kind joint. I was told the brisket tacos were terrific...but I went more blue collar with the tamales....was NOT let down !!!
Enjoy your work per usual.
- MrsMarv said...
Not you too! Every New Year's day we go to my ex-boss' brunch where he forces us to eat black-eyed peas for luck! (But at least he gives us cheesy grits and pecan pie to wash them down with!)
- Suzana said...
Really nice combo! I so love soup but I don't think I ever tried it with black eyed peas - should try this soon!
Best of lucks in 2008! :)
- Homesick Houstonian said...
- Sorina said...
Great recipe love it :) thanks looking forward to more recipes
- Homesick Texan said...
Julie--Yep, she had a long and happy life. Happy new year to you, too!
AnnieKNodes--Thanks! I should put the phrase on a T-shirt! Happy 2008 to you, too.
K-Yep, you can never go wrong with cornbread and collard greens!
Sam--Black-eyed peas make everything better!
Miss Meat and Potatoes--Dr Pepper beat Guitar Hero? That's high praise!
Sandy--Why thank you!
JEP--Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to seeing you in the future!
Cynthia--Yep, the soup gods smile down on this bowl of joy. Happy new year!
Swampy--Black-eyed peas don't need much adornment to be delicious. Thanks for stopping by!
Mansi Desai--It's just as good without the ham, I think, as it's so spicy.
Dez--Hurrah! I'm so glad y'all liked it!
Mama T--It's good for New Year's, but it's also just as good on any cold day. And no, I think you're the first who thought the ham was my thumb, but if I squint I can see how you'd think that!
Sugarlaws--Oh...I'm so sorry to hear you, too, have spent time at St. Vincent's due to a cooking injury.
Brin--I'm so sorry to hear about Maebelline and your thumb. Be careful with your new knife!
Ann--2008 is going to be awesome indeed!
Veron--Yep, as painful as bad times can be, they do help you appreciate the good times.
Texann--Thumb is healed and I'm back in the kitchen. Glad y'all enjoyed the soup. Happy new year!
Pille--And happy new year to you, too!
Lisa--Ha! It's so funny, but I didn't even think to get to the hospital any other way. But I'm sorry to hear about your poor thumb--ugh! Sounds like there are quite a few of us with cooking injuries!
Smitty--Thanks! Happy new year!
Lobstersquad--I love lentils and sausages as well. I reckon if I was from another culture, they'd be just as lucky!
Mike--Will do, I'm not familiar with it but will check it out.
MrsMarv--Ha! They can be an acquired taste, but since I grew up with them, I love them!
Suzana--Best of luck to you, too!
Homesick Houstonian--Thanks!
- Sandy said...
Just made this again 2 days ago - by request, of course! I did not have any pork or ham so I substituted Kielbasa. It was delicious! I'm thinking that this is gonna be the basic recipe I use with all kinds of meats and beans, etc. Thank you so much.
- Bill Medifast said...
This looks like such a delicious recipe. I am on my adventure to creating the meal menus for this holiday season and congrats! You've made it into mine this year. If you have any new suggestions to this recipe please let me know. It sounds so good.
Thanks a lot,
Bill M.
- Red Fern said...
This was fabulous! And beautiful and easy. I prepared this on NYE so I wouldn't have any cooking to do on New Years Day. I just sauteed the bacon, sweated the onions, carrots and garlic and threw in the rest, using dried black-eyed peas and thick sliced ham from the deli. My oh my, how easy and delish! Not only that but I forgot to put in the tomatoes that I planned to use instead of the rotel...and it was still great.
Happy new year and bright blessings to you! Thanks for giving me a great new tradition for NYD!
- Anonymous said...
Made this today, 01 Jan 2012...delicious. I tweaked a few things but the original recipe was virtually the same. Awesome. Thanks. Happy New Year!
- Vindaloo Tiramisu said...
Just served your Good Fortune Soup yesterday for my New Year's Day Open House. Made a double batch and a tiny modification (reduced the amount of chipotle slightly and a little extra chicken broth. I tell you, I was darn lucky to get a bowl myself. Had to copy the recipe for everyone because they all wanted to go home and make it themselves. Outstanding soup!
- Quiltersammy said...
Really good soup, Lisa. The addition of two jalapenos (with seeds) was a tad too hot. Nothing a couple of tbs. of sour cream didn't moderate. Served it with cornbread,
a gazpacho salad and iced tea.
- marsha said...
Did you use a small or large (28 ounce) can of tomatoes.
- marsha said...
Well, it's delicious!! Wow, such great melding of flavors. I used the equivalent of a 14.5 oz can of tomatoes.
Taking it over to eat with my family and making my mom's cornbread recipe in a cast iron skillet. Thanks! I love your recipes. Happy New Year.
- Lisa Fain (Homesick Texan) said...
Marsha--So glad y'all enjoyed it! Rotel tomatoes, the brand I call for, only comes in a 10-ounce can, but I'm pleased that the 14.5-ounce can was successful, too!

New SkyPrint Service Available for Fall 2013 Semester!August 1, 2013
New SkyPrint Service Available for Fall 2013 Semester!
Information Technology (IT) is excited to announce the availability of SkyPrint, an easy-to-use printing solution for students, employees, and campus visitors that will be available in multiple convenient locations across campus!
More information about SkyPrint at SKY.EMPORIA.EDU!
To help reduce waste, promote GREENER printing practices, AND increase the convenience and functionality of student printing at Emporia State, we are proud to introduce SkyPrint! Here are a few of the highlights about this great new service:
- You can now print from your own devices! Whether you are on or off campus, you can easily upload your documents to SkyPrint from your personal device, go to one of the conveniently located SkyPrint release stations on campus, and print your job!
- For the initial Fall 2013 release of SkyPrint, there will be SIX (6) SkyPrint Release Station kiosks across campus. We plan to expand this service to additional locations based on student feedback throughout the Fall 2013/Spring 2014 school year.
- The first TWO (2) SkyPrint Release Station kiosks will be installed in William Allen White Library on August 5, 2013! The remaining SkyPrint stations will be installed in Twin Towers, the Memorial Union, the Richel Learning Space in Cremer Hall, and the Nursing Library in Cora Miller Hall within the first few weeks of the Fall 2013 semester.

SkyPrint costs $0.08 per sheet of paper. Please note that this is per sheet of paper and not per page. That means you can get more bang for your buck if you duplex (print front-and-back) your print jobs!
- Need to print more? That's OK! You can easily add funds to your SkyPrint account using either the online payment transfer method (when logged into the SkyPrint system) or by purchasing a "SkyPrint Credits" redemption code.

Three and a half years ago, Michal Kaye took the plunge. She had been thinking about moving to Israel for a long time, having spent nine years working in an office where she helped people organize an extended trip to Israel.
Finally, she felt the time was right. She had worked for Hillel and the Jewish Community Centre in the United States. She ran birthright trips, participated in conferences and worked in an aliyah centre in Toronto.
"I felt I did everything I could in North America personal-wise," said the 36-year-old event planner in Toronto this month. "If I didn't go at that point, I'd never go. I'd find another excuse next year."
Kaye, who was born in England but grew up in Vancouver and Toronto, arrived in Israel with just a basic foundation of Hebrew, so she enrolled in a course – but she only stuck with it for a month. She had found two jobs: one in a store selling homemade goodies, and another working in administration for a school.
"All I did was work in Hebrew. That was amazing," she said. It forced her to learn the language and the local customs very quickly, and brought her skills to a mostly fluent level. She said she still sometimes has trouble speaking the language, but she can almost completely understand Hebrew now.
A job at a company focused on high-tech "taught me everything I needed to know [about] Israeli society," she said. For example, she said that, unlike her experiences in North America, she was able to speak candidly with her boss.
"There's an authority figure, but… everyone talks to everyone," she said
Kaye moved to Jerusalem. She said she ended up there because it has a young, single Orthodox community. As an Orthodox woman, she said, she was not attracted to the lifestyle in Tel Aviv, which reminded her of her time living in New York City. She felt that Jerusalem was the right home for her.
Finding herself unsatisfied working for other people, she decided to start her own business in event planning, having learned many tricks of the trade from her mother, Suzanne, who is a florist and event planner.
"It's a billion-dollar industry in Israel," she said. "There's so much going on."
Her business in Israel faces different challenges than it would in North America. For example, she said the flower choices are highly dependent on the season. In Canada, she could plan to have the same arrangement all year round, but in Israel, she had to adapt to the season.
Additionally, she said Israeli businesses tend to have a more laid-back atmosphere compared to those in North America. It can even seem disorganized on occasion.
"Sometimes the whole wedding is last minute," she said. "You could plan a wedding in two weeks and it could be beautiful."
Most of her clients are from Canada, the United States and Australia, though she works with people from all over the world who are hoping to hold an event such as a wedding or bar mitzvah in Israel.
Given the distance between Kaye and her clients, technology is a godsend, she said. For example, she is currently planning a wedding for a man in Australia and a woman in Serbia.
"I'll have communication with him in the morning, then she'll wake up two or three hours later and she'll email me," she said. "It's like he's going to sleep and she's waking up."
The time zone differences mean Kaye's work is not a typical nine-to-five job. Some days she wakes up early and other days she works late to co-ordinate the times.
Kaye's father is Zac Kaye, executive director for Hillel of Greater Toronto, who has been involved in Jewish student leadership around the world since before she was born. She said being surrounded by his work gave her the skill to relate to and work with every kind of person.
Given that she has worked with Jewish communities outside of Israel, it was an easy transition for her. "Now I just work in a different Jewish community with seven million people," she said.
Her 20-year-old sister, Chaya Kaye, moved to Israel a year after she did. They spent the first year together and shared a home, before Chaya found a place to live in the city of Giv'at Shmuel.
"She's my assistant when I need it," Michal Kaye said. "We're there, we're sisters, we help each other out."
Kaye is currently visiting her family in Toronto, but said she has felt scared for her friends and sister still in Israel during the most recent outbreak of violence. She has opened up her apartment to her sister, and said that if she were not in Canada, she would have opened her door to offer refuge to people from Ashkelon.
This kind of situation has become part of her everyday life, so she doesn't stress or worry about it. It's all part of living in a country surrounded by unfriendly neighbours, she said.
"The benefits outweigh the negatives," she said, adding that she generally feels safe in Jerusalem.
Anybody thinking of moving to Israel should do lots of research – but not so much that it overwhelms you, Kaye advised.
"Come with an open mind and no predetermined ideas of anything," she said. "It's not an easy place to live, but when you're there and everything's working, just like in everyday life, then it just makes sense."
And Kaye, having found her place in Israeli society, said she has no regrets about her move.
"It's the best thing I ever did," she said.

Howdy and welcome to those that i missed!
Gassho, Dirk
Howdy and welcome to those that i missed!
Gassho, Dirk
Hello everyone,
my name is Robin and I live in Germany. I'm married and father of three children. After reading
some books about Zen, I began daily sitting since two years. As an atheist, I thought about
my christian roots for many years to close this felt gap between the modern scientific worldview
and the inner feeling of a human beeing confronted with this astonishing world, finally
recognizing, that it's impossible to me to believe in this god, and that this maybe is even
a good thing.
Now I just sit with it, try to be open, to learn and it feels right.
Welcome to Treeleaf Brian, David, and Robin!
Hello ...
I was directed here by a kind soul who happened to read my sad tale of having no Zen community to call my own. Needless to say, I hopped over immediately to check things out. Apparently, the Universe heard me when I was thinking ... Well, why can't there be such a thing as an online zendo?
Who says wishes don't come true?!
Welcome guys - hope you get as much from being here as I do .
Kindest regards
my name is craig and i'm new to treeleaf. found out about it through buddhist geeks podcast. i have been studying buddhism for years both formally and informally. i have a degree in religious studies and am fascinated with the gap between myth and historical religious figures, especially buddha and jesus. i grew up christian and actually went to seminary for a year. i see buddhism as the next step on my spiritual pathless path rather than a conversion.
i began seriously considering a meditation practice after reading Wake Up To Your Life by Ken Mcleod. i live in atlanta, so there were a bunch of sanghas around. visited many off and on and finally began attending the local soto zen center regularly last summer. that is, until they brought the 'stick' out. i had a very strong reaction to it and haven't been back since. i also had trouble jumping into sitting for 40 minutes at a time at the center. i wanted to just build up. (it was also hot as hell in the zendo!) so, that's what i am doing at home, building up. i hope that treeleaf can be a connection to a sangha and teacher. in the future, i may go back to the atlanta zen center, but who knows. glad to find this place!
ps-i stay at home with my two boys who are 3 and 10 months. my first career was counseling and now i am getting a degree in accounting , of all things. my wife is a principal.
Welcome to Treeleaf Craig!
I'm especially glad to welcome another stay at home dad to the fold since there are a few around here. I have a son who is also 3, so feel free to drop me a line if you like. I always like to compare notes with other stay at home parents and having a common interest in zen is pretty cool.
Hi and Welcome to yas Robin, Seona and Craig
Gassho, Dirk
Hello All,
My name is Alan and I live in Oklahoma City. I haven't been practicing very long yet I've unknowingly been in touch with Buddhism for a long time. I grew up in an average Bible Belt home then, as a teen began rebelling and joined the punk rock scene (as it was in OKC in the 80's). I then began a slow decline that included homelessness and various forms of self-abuse and general bullheadedness. After leaving my last job five years ago I decided I needed to pull myself together and began with my health. I'm now a triathlete and vegan. For years I had been fighting anything spiritual and was a confirmed atheist; then finally I found Brad Warner's book (yeah, another one) and it was the first thing I read about Buddhism I actually understood. It was like everything fit and felt right (a real a-ha moment). I have only been sitting regularly (every evening for 30 mins) for about two months and I already have questions. Since there is no Sangha here I'm extremely grateful to have found y'all and Jundo's great talks. I'm very anxious to begin this study of myself.
Thanks again,
Welcome to Treeleaf Alan!
Welcome Alan! I am not too far from you..... I'm down in Chickasha. I know that there are some Buddhists groups in OKC, but it's a little far for me right now to drive regularly. I have checked out the websites of the groups up there, but haven't mustered the courage to visit. I can't decide which one I wanted to visit. Each have their own distinct flavor, but none of them quite what I was looking for.
Have you had a chance to visit any of them? What do you think?
Hi Jamie,
No, I haven't visited any places around here but all I've found is Korean and Vietnamese Zen. There is a Chan place out near Midwest City but they're with the Chung Tai monastery in Taiwan. It's a building as large as St. Peter's in Rome with 37 stories and that doesn't sit well with me if you pardon my pun. Other sects, I guess, might help with basics like how to sit and things like this. Right now I'm reading a basics book by a Renzai layteacher so I know there is plenty to learn from others. At least I know I'm not alone here in Oklahoma.
Welcome Craig and Alan!
Just wanted to say hello and welcome to Treeleaf. I hope you find us a warm and interesting group that you can learn from and maybe teach us a few things too.

Hi! All Members of the Treeleaf Community. I am Cucchilou and live in a tiny town surrounded by woods in Burgundy, France. A long, long time ago, i used to practice zazen on a solid basis, then stopped.
Now, after many moves, ways & adventures and a 3 and 1/2 decade interval, i've been sitting again for a couple of months: everything is getting better and my general feeling is that i've found the way back home: i am very Happy to have discovered your Community! Warm gratefullness! wishing to deepen the practice and grow further...
Having just joined the Community Forum, i'll have there the opportunity to talk further; for the time being, 'breathe in, breathe out...' Gassho, Cucchilou
Hello and Welcome Cucchilou.
Gassho, Dirk
Hello everyone, My name is Joan and I am new to Treeleaf and only in the last 3 months have been studying Buddhism. I am also practising meditation but find that my mind wanders but I am getting better at just sitting and concentrating on the breath. I feel that I was brought to this site and your community and would appreciate if I could join you all. I live in Yorkshire, United Kingdom and after being made redundant at the age of 55 decided to take early retirement. I have worked full time since the age of 15 and now find my days are filled with finding new and interesting things and also trying to find my true inner self.
Welcome! Joan, Sitting gets better with practice and Treeeleaf is a wonderful place of inspiration and kindness. Gassho, Cucchilou
Bienvenu! Cucchilou
After many moons we meet again in sangha.
Good to see you here. Welcome!
Welcome to you Joan!
Warm thanks to you Krid and Bids for your welcoming and welcome ! Emptyzen to the wonderful Treeleaf
Being new in this group, don't have yet much to tell about, except that this is a great place to be, right here, now and now anew; it gives more power to the daily practice to do it with you all, right here, to sit now or then together and share glimpses of awakening of our wandering minds.

Hello, everyone. My name is Martina, and I live near Los Angeles, CA. I have been a Buddhist since 1997, when I bought a book by Lama Surya Das to impress this guy I knew. We ended up just being friends (we still are), and I just continued to read a lot of Dharma, slowly build to a daily practce, and soon realized the benefit it was having in my internal life. As my practice has deepened, I have longed to find a Sangha I could participate in, despite frequent periods of time when it is very difficult for me to attend a physical gathering.
This idea, this place, the esteem with which you hold it (the convesations on the precepts in the Jukai section are wonderful & dizzying!) is very inspiring, and I am happy to have found this beautiful Zendo.
Hello & welcome! Tina to this wonderfull Now Place

Good Day,
I joined Treeleaf today. Very interesting site. Unique and exciting for those of us who are out of reach of a teacher.
I am a retired social worker. Sixty-two years old. I have been studying eastern religions for many years (since my teens, actually) and have been a practicing "sitter" (though not always regular) for nearly as long. I have had some opportunity to attend some zen centers, but have not had regular contact, face-to-face with a teacher. This is in part because I have lived in a rural area in the State of Maine, (most of which could be described as rural), USA. As well as working and being very active in raising my three kids. (I now have a 5 y.o. grandson). I have three adult children, and I'm married to my high school sweetheart for 42+ years. I am a writer and have some interest, and work, in films. I also have a commitment to child welfare work for the past 3 decades or so. My interests, besides those just described, include reading, studying, classical music, and, of course, life and death. I am anxious to join the community and hear what's going on. I fully intend to explore this fascinating site.
Drop a line to my email when you have a chance.
Hello and welcome to new folk.
Feel free in joining in on any topic or starting a new one
All the best and see you around
Hi and Welcome Emptyzen, Tina and again jbojanis.
Jump right in! The water is wet.

Hi! Jbojanis,
Welcome to this community: this is a wonderful place indeed; i have
personnally little experience with it 'cause I've just joined it but have
been sitting here a-long for a couple of months. The only fact this exists
is already great in itself.
Beside this point, Jundo is a very inspiring
and dedicated teacher and you'll find here lots of very friendly folks.
I personnally live in France, in a very small town of Burgundy, surrounded
by woods and no zen friend around (as far as i know) ; i fortunately live in a house with a
wild garden, share the place with 2 friendly dogs, do zazen everyday, love
Nature & music and have a 15 year old son in Netherlands... well, just to
give you an idea...
Hoping you'll find inspiration & more on this site and to hear of you
sometime, best wishes to you & your beloved,
Gassho, Cucchilou

hello my name is jc. i live in a small town in alaska. i was apart of a soto comunity years ago and studied under a japanese priest. however i quit attending after a rather painful divorce and moving away from the city that the group was located in. other than dogen, my fave zen authors is Uchiyama and i also enjoy brad warner since i too come from a back ground of being in punk bands, though i'm not as brash as he is
outside of zen i've lived in theravada temples in both america and thailand and i still spend time at them whenever i can as i'm friends with many thai and lao monks. IMO the thai tradition is quite compatable with zen especially the forest tradition and the ideas of ajahn buddhadasa (if you ever read him, i'm sure you'll feel right at home) who actually translated into thai the platform sutra and other zen texts (living in bangkok i even saw a thai version of dogen's zuimonki along side theravada texts!)
when i was still in my zen sangha i was working on my rakusu, but i never finished and never took judkai, and this has always bothered me =(
i hope to learn as much as i can here, and deepen my practice
with metta
Welcome to Treeleaf JC! And to anyone else I may have missed.

Greetings All,
My name is Rod and I live in Los Angeles, CA. I came to Buddhism through my formal and informal studies of Western philosophy, consciousness studies (specifically the work of Susan Blackmore), and neuroscience. I recently became a member of the Hazy Moon Zen Center (William Nyogen Yeo Roshi).
I am also a full-time philosophy major/anthropology minor at a local college.
I look forward to learning and sharing on this forum and sangha.
Bienvenido Rod! Gassho.....
Hello everyone.
Just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is David. I live near Nashville, TN. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone, especially considering that there is not much of a community anywhere near me. I have been sitting only the last few months, but have been studying Buddhism for several years now. I hope I might be able to contribute to the development of the sangha with some of that knowledge.
So this is awkward. Thank you for your time. It's a pleasure to meet all of you.
Welcome JC, Rob and David!

Hello All,
My name is Kyle, and I am a senior in high school who plans to major in pre-medicine. I hail from Pennsylvania and am currently applying for college (yuck...the paper work is so tedious). I found this site by chance, sadly there are not many places in my area that practice Zen or any form of Buddhism for that matter, so I found Treeleaf through my random searching on the web. I mulled over the decision to join for a few days and after reading some of the material on the site and watching some videos from the blog, I decided to join. I have been sitting off and on now for about a year and a half, and really wanted to find others who did the same. Here in PA not many practice Buddhism nor know of it...or I have just not found many that do . I hope to strengthen my practice and I feel that a Sangha like this will aid in that goal. Well I look forward to chatting with others on this site...and of course sitting with you.
Welcome to Treeleaf David and Kyle!
Hello Treeleafers,
I realize that I never posted an introduction even though I've occassionally posted for a couple of months.
My name is Jeff Legg, and I live with my wife and son in Richmond, Va, USA. In addition we have a lot of animals: dogs, horses, cats, rats, gerbils, fish, and a Quaker parrot. I teach medical imaging at our local university.
I have been practicing for a little over a year now although I studied Buddhism a little during grad school. I have made a commitment to my practice and have witnessed at times some softening of my opinions and biases (I've written about that on a previous blog) and more calmness. I have also been a vegetarian for a little over a year which amazes all of my family/friends and doctor as I was a real carnivore! :lol:
I wrote Jundo several months ago regarding a question of dana for many of the homeless who are around our university (we're in the middle of the city). His suggestions were very helpful for me. I also made a commitment to either give to charity every payday. This has been very gratifying and fun and is a nice supplement to volunteering.
I would like to end by giving a little 'prop' to my students in our department at the university. We have an honor society that focuses a great deal on service. They have been great at conducting food drives, detergent drives for our local hospital hospitality house, and school supplies for an inner city elementary school. Not only am I proud of them but it is really nice to see some good work being doing by a very multicultural group of college kids--hope for the future.
I really love the sangha forum and the daily sessions/talks. I hope to participate in the Jukai ceremony in the future.
Hi and welcome to Jeff, Rod, David, Kyle, JC!!!!!!!!
who must attend her dripping nose........
Gassho & Welcome Jeff & Kyle !!!
... come and bring your bit of salt and sparks of light into this Here & Now Place
Hi Jeff!
I really dig your letter: very inspiring!! I see you from here with all your animals (in a farm-like place?) and family in Richmond... did you know that 'anima' meant 'soul' in Latin?
Good you gave up eating animals... and some wondering if they have a soul?? personnally, i don't!
Ok Jeff, take care of all them souls dear to you, humans or animals, all Buddha's nature, aren't they?
Gassho 3x Cucchilou
welcome for all the new treeleafers....
nice to meet you all...

Thanks to all for the warm welcome.
I did get an email from a Treeleaf member who happens to be living in my town. I will have to drop him a line. (Small world - small universe).
RWC (jbojanis).
Hi all!
Im Hernán Massau-Chorne from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I will try to introduce myself briefly, let me see...
Im 31, married and proud father of a 5 years old girl. Im a traditional yoga teacher, I really love to teach yoga as I believe it's a great way to help people.
Also I work as communications manager in a nonprofit called Idealist.org (in the spanish-speakers branch)
I love to write in my blog about Yoga and Buddhism, and also enjoy playing some music in my free time with my charango and shakuhachi.
Im really new to zazen. I practice regulary trascendental meditation since 10 years, but after reading about zazen it blowed my mind and wanted to practice that. My only experience with zazen was in a Kosen Thibaut dojo where I've learned the basics. So here I am, wanting to learn, and to improve my zazen (in quality and quantity) and some day help many sentient beings to cross to the other shore.
Welcome Treeleaf Yogi...and all other recent newbies!
welcome yogi.
glad you are here with us hope to see you around treeleaf
p.s. one thing i sure need is a yoga teacher to help get me in to the lotus :lol:
Gassho, and welcome.
Hiya and welcome Hernán!
Gassho, Dirk
I have been a member of Treeleaf Sangha for about a week. During that time I have been immersed in the study of the Precepts, Jundo's comments, all links, and posts from members. Thank you all for bringing a profound new meaning to the precepts. My Zen Buddhist practice has truly been enriched. There could not be a better welcome offered. Gassho zak

Ashlee Simpson is going to the chapel — but first there's the matter of her engagement party.
The 29-year-old celebrated her impending nuptials to Evan Ross over the weekend with a lavish celebration attended by family — like her big sister, Jessica — and friends. And on Wednesday night, she took to Twitter to gush about the bash.
What an amazing engagement party with all of our loved ones! We gettin' married :) pic.twitter.com/xdQLFerlIk— Ashlee Simpson (@ashleesimpson) March 27, 2014
The pair, who announced their engagement in January, were dressed to the nines for their party. In the photo, the blonde had on headband with large white feathers and a drapey dress with big sleeves as she smooched her future groom, who was wearing a short-sleeve furry coat with a long-sleeve white shirt under it.
Jessica — looking amazing in a white and silver minidress, thanks to Weight Watchers — also posted a photo in which she's posing with her sis, who has a 5-year-old son with ex-husband Pete Wentz.
"Celebrating my best friend and sister @missbananahammock @ashleesimpsonofficial," the mom of two, who is also planning a wedding, wrote on Instagram. "I love her so much!"

Evan, who is the son of the legendary Diana Ross (who turned 70 on Wednesday), also shared a couple family snapshots. In addition to a sweet one of him and his mom, the "Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1" actor posted a second one in which he's planting a kiss on his "Bat for a Heart" singer love while two of his sisters — Chudney Ross and Tracee Ellis Ross, in her lip dress — look on.

The outdoor party space was decorated with shimmering white lights, setting the perfect mood for the fete. And Ash wasn't alone in sporting feathers. The couple's cake had white and tan ones at its base with their initials, A and E, on top, as you can see in this Instagram pic posted by actor and party guest Daniel Booko.
With an engagement party so beautiful, we have great expectations for their wedding day.

Four shows remain in Emporia State Theatre's 2012-13 seasonOctober 15, 2012
Now that the Homecoming Scholarship Musical has had its run, it's time for the Emporia State University Theatre Department to prepare for the rest of its season. The 2012-13 season of Emporia State University Theatre continues with a hilarious Christmas comedy, an Irish drama, a new American play and the annual spring dance show.
Jim Bartruff, director of theatre, announced these shows:
- "Inspecting Carol" by Daniel Sullivan and the Seattle Repertory Theatre, Nov. 28-30 and Dec. 1;
- "Dancing at Lughnasa" by Brian Friel, Feb. 27-28, 2013, and March 1-2;
- "Brownstone" by Catherine Butterfield, April 10-13 and 17-20; and
- "La Diner" spring dance show, May 3, 2013.
ESU Theatre alum Larry Mitchell (BFA, 2005) returns to his alma mater to direct the holiday production "Inspecting Carol" by Daniel Sullivan and members of the Seattle Repertory Theatre. In this hilarious backstage comedy, a man who asks to audition at a small theater is mistaken for an informer for the National Endowment for the Arts. Everyone caters to the bewildered wannabe actor, and he is given a role in the current production, "A Christmas Carol." Everything goes wrong and hilarity is piled upon hilarity. Senior Noah Mefford (Burlington) is the lighting designer. Ron Fowlkes is the set designer and Amanda Dura designs the costumes. Senior Yui Watanabe (Chiba, Japan) designs the makeup and hair. The production is rated PG-13 for language and adult situations.
"Dancing at Lughnasa" won three Tony Awards in 1992. Set in the 1930s, it focuses on five unmarried sisters living together in the Irish countryside. The household is made up of the imperious teacher Kate, the irreverent Maggie, the serene and steady Agnes, the sweetly eccentric Rose and the romantic Chris, who has given birth to an illegitimate son, Michael.
The women cling to their knitting needles and the radio. Young Michael cleaves to his kite, as his absentee father, Gerry, unexpectedly arrives on his motorcycle. Meanwhile, the sisters' older brother, Jack, returns home from 25 years of missionary work. "Dancing at Lughnasa" achieved critical acclaim and commercial success on Broadway in 1992. It became a celebrated film starring Meryl Streep in 1998. The production is under the direction of Dr. Jim Ryan. The set designer is Nancy Pontius. Susan Mai and Fowlkes design costumes and lights.
The season continues with a new American comic-drama, "Brownstone," where three points of time converge in a New York brownstone, spanning 80 years and encompassing the lives of three pairs of people. There are the newlyweds who long to move to Paris, aspiring actresses who struggle to get their big break, and a young couple who find their relationship complicated by an unexpected pregnancy. With nothing but the roof above their head in common, all these characters share in New York experiences of compromising ambition, falling in love, and making memories.
Written by Catherine Butterfield, ESU Theatre is proud to present the play's regional premiere. "Brownstone" is under the direction of Theresa Mitchell. Fowlkes is the set designer and Dura will design the costumes. Pontius is the lighting designer.
In addition to these productions, ESU Theatre will present "La Diner," our Spring Dance Show featuring the music of the 1950s. Staged and choreographed by Lindy Bartruff, the dance show will be presented in the Karl C. Bruder Theatre on Friday, May 3 for one performance only.
Curtain for all performances will be at 7:30 pm. For additional information about the Theatre Department or its season, please visit www.emporia.edu/theatre or check out the department's Facebook group, ESU Theatre.
For reservations, call the University Box Office in the Memorial Union toll-free at 1-877-341-6378.

ACADEMY: One win and one defeat in Guernsey16-Apr-2012
Following the announcement of Sussex strengthening their ties with the Guernsey Cricket Board last week, the Sussex Academy along with Cricket Performance Manager Keith Greenfield made their way over to the island at the weekend to take on the Guernsey Cricket Association in two separate one-day matches.
Both matches were held at the KGV Sports Ground in Castel and on Saturday Guernsey won the toss and elected to bat. They made 212 for 9 from their 50 overs but were mainly aided by an impressive unbeaten 127 from GH Smit. The pick of the bowlers for Sussex was John Glover, who made his first-class debut for the County last season, with 3 for 48 from this 8 overs.
There were some solid batting performances from the visitors in reply and it was wicketkeeper-batsman Callum Jackson who top-scored in the chase, making 52 whilst Ollie Graham and Harry Finch both made 22 in the top top-order. An unbeaten 36 from Tim Moses at number 7 ensured with the help of Glover (16*) that Sussex made their target with eight balls remaining.
On Sunday it was Sussex who won the toss and elected to bat first. Graham this time took the top-scoring role with the bat, making 66 as the scores were similar to the first game, with Sussex bowled out for 210 from their allotted 50 overs.
It was a tight finish from Guernsey but they reached their target off the final ball of the match, to win the game by four wickets. Josh Hayward's impressively economic figures of 3 for 14 from 10 overs were the bowling highlight for Sussex but it wasn't enough to avoid a slender defeat to the islanders.
