If an event presented by Carnegie Hall is cancelled or postponed, we will announce the change—if time permits—by email, phone, a letter sent to your home, and on carnegiehall.org. To confirm a concert, call CarnegieCharge at 212-247-7800. We encourage you to use your carnegiehall.org account when purchasing your tickets so that in the event of any significant changes we can contact you.
No refunds, no exchanges. Artists, programs, dates, and prices are subject to change.
Tickets for events in the Resnick Education Wing are only available through carnegiehall.org and CarnegieCharge. All ticket sales and reservations end at 11:59 PM the night before the event. Tickets are required for each attendee, including infants. For free events, tickets serve as a confirmation of your reservation, but do not guarantee admission. For this reason, you are asked to arrive 30 minutes in advance.
If you are unable to use your tickets to a Carnegie Hall presented event (eligible concerts are listed on our website as "Carnegie Hall Presents"), we will gratefully accept them as a tax-deductible contribution. Call CarnegieCharge at 212-247-7800 for more information, or return your tickets to the Box Office. You can make this tax-deductible donation anytime up to two hours before the show.
If you requested that we mail your tickets and did not receive them within 10 days of placing your order, please call CarnegieCharge at 212-247-7800 with your account information to make alternative arrangements.
Please adhere to all published ticket limits. Persons who exceed these limits may have any or all of their ticket orders cancelled without notice by Carnegie Hall at its discretion. This includes orders with the same name, email address, billing address, or credit card number.
Carnegie Hall is not responsible for tickets purchased through unauthorized third parties such as ticket brokers or online outlets. Tickets purchased from third parties may not be valid and unusable for admittance, and we cannot replace lost or stolen third-party tickets. Tickets purchased from third parties may be priced much higher than the ticket's actual face value, and we will be unable to contact holders of such tickets about program changes or cancellations.
Help us serve you in the best manner possible by purchasing your tickets only at the Carnegie Hall Box Office, through CarnegieCharge, or online at carnegiehall.org.
We charge a non-refundable $6.50 fee for each ticket purchased through carnegiehall.org or CarnegieCharge, except for tickets and reservations for events in the Resnick Education Wing. There is no convenience fee charged on tickets purchased in person at the Carnegie Hall Box Office.
Our electronic scanning of tickets upon entry helps prevent problems that can cause pre-concert delays or long lines in the lobby and also enables you to retain your entire ticket as a concert souvenir. When exchanging or donating a ticket, a new ticket is issued in place of the returned ticket, and only the most recently issued ticket for a specific seat location at a given performance is valid for entry. If you have any questions, please email us at email@example.com or call CarnegieCharge at 212-247-7800.

The New York Times is reporting that China is responsible for each and every one of the 24 toy recalls issued this year. Chinese manufactures supply up to 80% of the toys sold on the U.S. market. A new record was even set last year after the CPSC yanked 467 Chinese products off U.S. shelves.
China's own government auditing agency reported last month that 20 percent of the toys made and sold in China had safety hazards such as small parts that could be swallowed or sharp edges that could cut a child, according to a report in China Daily. Officials in China, of course, are fighting back, insisting that its food and other exports are safe and valuable, that new regulations are being put into place and that problem goods account for a tiny portion of all exports.
We wonder if the office of some Chinese official has a framed fortune reading: You shall tell many lies today. Lucky Numbers: 24 80 467 20. — CAREY GREENBERG-BERGER

Unraced since her fourth-place finish in the Emirates Airlines Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf (gr. IT), Eclipse Award finalist Nashoba's Key will make her 5-year-old debut in the $500,000 Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Turf Stakes at Santa Anita Jan. 26.
Unbeaten in seven other starts, the Silver Hawk mare scored her last victory over the Santa Anita turf in the Sept. 29 Yellow Ribbon Stakes (gr. IT), which she won by three-quarters of a length over Citronnade racing as a homebred for Warren B. Williamson. The California-bred last raced over the Filly and Mare Turf's distance of 1 1/8-miles when she won the Vanity Invitational Handicap (gr. IT) at Hollywood Park in July.
The Filly and Mare Turf field has not come up without viable challengers for the Carla Gaines-trainee. First on the list is the Haras Santa Maria de Araras-homebred Quite a Bride. The Florida-bred was a handy winner of the South Beach Stakes at Gulfstream last time out Jan. 3. The 5-year-old daughter of Stormy Atlantic scored that victory for trainer Bill Mott by 4 ¾-lengths off a layup following her third-place finish behind Vacare and Precious Kitten in the First Lady Stakes (gr. IIT) at Keeneland Oct. 6. Prior to those starts Quite a Bride had a 3 ½-length win in the Ellis Park Breeders' Cup Turf. Her seven career stakes victories include grade III wins in the 2007 Early Times Mint Julep Handicap at Churchill and the 2006 Boiling Springs Stakes at Monmouth.
Trainer Craig Dollase will have the Robert and Beverly Lewis Trust-owned Bai and Bai breathing down the neck of Nashoba's Key, and the Falstaff mare has a legitimate shot considering her second-place finish behind the Gaines trainee in the Clement L. Hirsch Handicap (gr. IIT) at Del Mar last summer. Bai and Bai was second to Romance Is Diane in the California Cup Matron Handicap at Santa Anita Nov. 3, and previously finished third behind Tough Tiz's Sis and Hystericalady in the Lady's Secret Stakes (gr. I). Between those efforts and her second-place Clement L. Hirsh finish, she had back-to-back wins in the Solana Beach Handicap at Del Mar and the Las Madrinas Handicap at Fairplex. Quite a Bride was bred in California by Mares' Nest.
The 6-year-old Dance Floor mare Somethinaboutlaura seems ambitiously placed coming off a 1 ¼-length win in the Jan. 1 Campanile Stakes over the synthetic surface at Golden Gate Fields, but the Jerry Hollendorfer trainee has proven versatile over any track. She has 14 stakes wins to her credit for the partnership of Hollendorfer, Charles Miller, John Sikura, and George Todaro, including consecutive wins in the A Gleam Handicap (gr. II) at Hollywood Park. She was bred in California by Lilley Ranch.
With five wins and two seconds in her past seven starts, Robert Alexander's Placid Lake takes a step up in company and seeks to continue a three-race winning streak. The 6-year-old daughter of Greenwood Lake, bred in Florida by Farnsworth Farms, was up to each challenge leveled at her in 2007 but made all of her starts last year in allowance company. Her first start of 2008, the Glendale Handicap at Turf Paradise, resulted in a three-quarter-length win. Trainer Vladimir Cerin will saddle.
Live Oak Plantation's Snow Cone, Alan Benning's Lady Tropicana, and Curt and Lila Lanning's Gentle Charmer complete the field.
$500,000 Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Turf Stakes (race 5, approximate post 1:44 p.m. PST), 1 1/8-miles for fillies and mares* 4-year-olds and upward, turf

HIV Transmission and Education
Am I Infected?
Waiting...an eternity
Waiting...each second that i wait passes like an eternity. tears
rush to my eyes in regret of my past actions. my heart stops
beating for a second or two when i dwell on the strong
possibility of a positive outcome. i cannot stand this torture of
waiting. i took a home hiv test two days ago and sent the blood
sample via fedex yesterday. when i placed my package in the fedex
drop, i wanted to break the container and throw my blood sample.
why would i want to confirm my worst fears, i thought? well,
living each day with the fear of hiv has wrought havoc in my day
to day existence. i shed tears at unexpected moments, lose my
appetite some days, binge on other days, etc... fear of the
worst, the worst case scenario. well...there were a few more
reasons why i began to panic...i found out that the boy i had
slept with (one night stand) was possibly bisexual...a rumor
only, but rumors have to start somewhere don't they??? then one
night at a club, i saw the guy that i had a sexual relationship
with for a few months...there were about 3 or his ex-girlfriends
there...all beautiful. and i am sure that he had sex with every
one of them and who knows who they had sex with, too. i took my
first test several years ago at a clinic. my results were
negative. i was ecstatic, knowing that God had given me a second
chance and forgiven all my past offenses. i was reckless those
years; having unprotected sex with many men. i was "good"
(practiced safe sex, limited my sexual partners to just a few)
until last year...i was depressed after graduating from school,
ending a relationship with my first love, not knowing what i
wanted from the future...i allowed myself to have a one night
stand. supposedly, he didn't "ejaculate" in me, but that does not
matter. we had intercourse, and that is that. i never though much
about it...several months passed and i became involved with
another man...someone i really desired and wanted to be with. we
had a sexual relationship...at first, we were cautious, but then
became reckless. we ended several months later. then, i found the
man of my dreams, quite unexpectedly. someone who i wanted to
share the rest of my life with. after six months had passed, i
began to take a look back on my past sexual activities, fearing
that they might come to haunt me. things were soooo extremely
fantastic with my current love that i knew something had to go
wrong. so i began to worry...i would call hotlines, one after the
next...postponing a test date because of my "busy" schedule and
the inconvenience of going to some of the anonymous testing
sites. so i finally ordered a home test over the telephone to be
delivered to me at work. i wanted to make sure that no one at
work would know what the package was, and the test company did a
fairly good job of protecting the source of the package and
whatnot. so i took the test...after waiting several days...i was
scared, frightened beyond belief....my poor love was frazzled by
my behaviour...extreme fits of moodiness...tears one minute,
laughter the next. i would cling to him, saying how much i loved
him and wanted to be with him. we had previously talked about our
future...getting married, possibly...our future lives
together...we were planning to live together in a few months. so
here i wait...the test results will not be available for another
few days. i prefer the option of calling in and being at my own
home when i receive the results. of course, i have concluded that
i am hiv+ though i will not be sure for the next few days. i only
do this to soften the blow when it is dealt. i just cannot
believe that i can be lucky twice. i don't know what to do...each
day is a living nightmare. my reality has split into two parallel
dimensions,one being life as hiv+ while the other dreaming of the
possibilities of a family and kids. last night, i tried to tell
my lover that i had taken the test, but i could not. i just
looked at him as he went to sleep, tears rolling down my face. i
can live with the fact that i am hiv+, but i do not know how to
begin to tell my family and my love, the most. my mother is a
die-hard christian who has always believed that i will return to
the "faith" one day. i was the responsible one in my family:
attended a top university, worked and paid for college, got a
good job, lived a "clean" life, etc. my mom just recently lost
her own mother, and i don't know what to do when i tell her that
i might die before she does. and for my lover...what do i tell
him? we have had a sexual relationship, safe and unsafe at
times...what if i infected him? i know many might think i am
jumping the gun, but this fear does not stem from a lack of
reason, but based on completely plausible risk factors. when i
read about AIDS fear, i knew that i was under its influence. i
began to read document after document about hiv+ symptons.
nothing can be certain, but i recall becoming very ill after my
one night stand last year. i had a fever and body aches (flu-like
symptons) for two days. i was bedridden, thinking that i got sick
from being out in the rain all day and catching a chill (which is
still probable), but i had never gotten as sick as that in
years...i can't even recall when i was that sick. i even lost my
appetite, which i never do. so, here i am...waiting with fear and
trepidation. i love my life, my dreams, my man, my
family...things don't have to end when i know the results, but
why do i think that they will? i'm scared beyond belief. i have a
large lump in my throat every day and my eyes are always teary.
just a few days...

Rockstar Games Announces 10th Anniversary of Grand Theft Auto III
Rockstar Games
13 Oct 2011
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO - News), is proud to announce the 10th anniversary of Grand Theft Auto III on October 22, 2011. The anniversary is a landmark moment for the Grand Theft Auto series and Rockstar Games. The release of Grand Theft Auto III in 2001 was a pivotal step in the series path to become one of the biggest entertainment properties. In conjunction with the celebration, Rockstar will release Grand Theft Auto III for select new generation iOS and Android devices in the fall. A full list of devices is available at www.rockstargames.com/newswire.
"Grand Theft Auto III showed us the potential of open world games, said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. It helped set the vision for the company, and we have been expanding on those possibilities with every game ever since.
Mobile versions of the game will be available to play at the 2011 New York Comic-Con from October 14-16, 2011. Attendees of the show will be able to tour the Grand Theft Auto III gallery featuring the games signature art, and will also have the opportunity to win special anniversary edition Grand Theft Auto III and Rockstar Games merchandise. For those unable to attend, the Rockstar Warehouse (www.rockstarwarehouse.com) is relaunching today, where the special anniversary edition items will be available for purchase throughout October.
Beginning today, the limited-edition action figure of Grand Theft Auto III lead character, Claude, will be available for pre-order through the Rockstar Warehouse. The action figure will be on sale on October 20. The fully articulated 1:6 scale Claude figure comes dressed in his original attire of cargo pants and a bomber jacket, and is also supplied with his iconic Liberty City Prison-issued jumpsuit. The Claude figure is equipped with an arsenal of classic weapons from Grand Theft Auto III, including a bat, knife, grenades, pistol, sniper rifle, and assault rifle. Rockstar Social Club members can enter to win one of three Claude action figures through October 16 by visiting www.rockstargames.com/socialclub*.
Grand Theft Auto III was originally released in October 2001 for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. It was the first three-dimensional, open-world Grand Theft Auto title and introduced players to the fictitious Liberty City. The game was released to critical and commercial success and is widely credited as one of the most influential video games of all time. Upon its release in 2001, Grand Theft Auto III delivered cinematic levels of immersion, an innovative approach to open-ended gameplay and an unprecedented fusion of gaming and popular culture.
Grand Theft Auto III was heralded by GameSpot1 as easily one of the greatest games of all time. In an article recognizing the most important games ever created, GamePro2 listed Grand Theft Auto III as their number one choice, declaring that GTA III redefined how games are played, serving as a wake-up call to an industry that had fallen into a safe, sleepy rhythm.
IGN3 lauded Grand Theft Auto III as one of the top ten most influential games of all time, stating not many games can claim to have spawned entire genres, buzzwords, and cultural phenomena.
GamesRadar4 praised Grand Theft Auto III as the most important game of the decade And more celebration came from G4TV5, dubbing the game, An amazing experience, resulting in a classic crime drama.
Grand Theft Auto III went on to become the highest-rated PlayStation 2 game of all time (Metacritic: 97), and the number one selling video game on console the year of its release, according to The NPD Group estimates of U.S. retail video game sales.

The Swagger - EP.
Background promo - The Swagger, an original London grit-rock band, has announced their forthcoming debut EP, which was produced by Graham Bonnar (Swervedriver / The Brian Jonestown Massacre) and recorded at the renowned Konk Studios (founded by Ray and Dave Davies of The Kinks) in North London. Slated for release digitally and on CD on July 22, this EP features four tracks from the arsenal of songs they've been performing around the UK. They've picked these particular tracks from an archive of about 100 they've written to date.
Hailing from Hornsey, North London, The Swagger originally formed in March 2012. The band is now made up of two brothers - Lee Stevens (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Paul Stevens (lead guitar, back vocals), along with mates Will O'Connell (bass guitar) and Roger Malaquias (drums). The band originally recorded the demos at Tigersonic Studios (Holloway, North London) in late 2015 with co-producer Felix Macintosh, and pretty soon found their way to Konk Studios in Hornsey, North London to record with engineer Josh Green and guitar tech Brendan Quinn. Both The Swagger and The Kinks are local to this area.
The Swagger are among the few bands privileged enough to record at Konk Studios with bands like The Stone Roses, The Kooks, Blur, Franz Ferdinand, Bombay Bicycle Club, Elvis Costello, Steve Winwood, and the Bee Gees having recorded here over the years. The Swagger's debut EP was mixed and mastered by Pat Collier (Vibrators) at Perry Vale Studios in South London. Neil Barrie designed the EP artwork, website and logo. The Swagger will be heading back into the studio at the end of 2016 to start work on their debut album, which is planned for release in 2017. In the meantime, they will be playing various gigs, including the Musicians Against Homelessness concert being organized by legendary Creation Records' boss Alan Mcgee.
July 23 - The Cavendish Arms, 128 Hartington Road, Stockwell, London
August 27 - The Islington, 1 Tolpuddle Street, Angel, London
October 1 - Musicians Against Homelessness, organized by Alan Mcgee @ T.Chances, Tottenham High Road, London.
Four really good songs on the debut EP suggests The Swagger have a considerable amount of talent, ideas and an already well developed grit rock sound. The band are upfront about their influences which range from The Kinks to The Who via plenty of other bands, however I keep the references short, so as not to diminish the bands superb debut, featured in full below.
Digging Roots - For the Light.
Background promo - Digging Roots has an answer to the gun violence plaguing the world today: more love, more truth, more music. "I think we can use the word 'epidemic' when it comes to gun violence in society today," says Singer ShoShona Kish of Digging Roots whose powerful and inspirational new video AK-47 calls for an end to violence and oppression through love and understanding.
Digging Roots is a post-psychedelic-blues group, consisting of husband and wife duo Raven Kanatakta and ShoShona Kish, whose music is a love making blend of roots-rock-reggae & hip-hop-blues. Formed in 2004, the duo released their first album Seeds in 2006. The album was a nominee for the Aboriginal Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2007. They followed with We Are in 2009, which featured collaborations with Tanya Tagaq, DJ Bear Witness of A Tribe Called Red and Kinnie Starr, who also co-produced the album. We Are won the Juno Award for Aboriginal Album of the Year in 2010. Their most recent third album, For The Light was also was nominated for a Juno Award and the single 'Hwy 17' was awarded the Cobalt Prize for original blues composition at the Maple Blues Awards in Canada. Digging Roots has toured across Canada, the US, Mexico, Europe and recently performed in Australia with highlight performances at the Sydney Opera House and the famous Bryon Bay Bluesfest.
"There's an Anishinabek word in the chant at the end of the song that distills it all for me," says ShoShona, "Nizoogide'e", it means "My heart is a stronghold." AK-47 is about opening fire on hate, oppression and violence, both lateral and physical. Not with bullets and guns but with the full force of love. Cynics might say that we're naive but to me it's the only rational way forward. This song is a proposition that its time to stop oppression and the violence against one another, against ourselves and against the land." The song AK-47 is available for public download on iTunes.
2016 Canadian Summer tour dates include:
July 8, Cultura Festival, Toronto, ON
July 9-10 2016, Northern Lights Festival Boréal, Sudbury, ON
July 16, 2016, Wild Mountain Music Festival, Hinton, AB
July 23, 2016, Great Northern Arts Festival, Inuvik, NT
August 4, 2016, Montreal First Peoples Festival, Montréal, QC
August 5-7, 2016, Edmonton Folk Festival, Edmonton, AB
August 10, 2016, TBA, Winnipeg, MB
August 19-21, 2016, Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival, Salmon Arm, BC
The video for AK-47 is featured on our BeeVids page and is really worth a look and listen. Also however, I was struck by how good their current album is, and wanted to feature a track from that as well. The band adopt differing styles and genres with ease, keeping the listener in expectation of whats next. Rootsy acoustic blues competes with anything from psychedelic to reggae influences. All in all it's a great listen, and albeit a late discovery for me, but nonetheless a good one.

It was once said that you must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible....
Alli Carson has been through her own personal hell. With her father, the president of the United States, recently dead and her mother in a coma from a terrible accident, she has poured herself into her training to become one of the best FBI agents at the Fearington Institute. Her inspiration and solace comes from the one man with whom she has ever felt a kinship, National Security Adviser, Jack McClure. But when Alli becomes the prime suspect in a murder at Fearington, a wide-ranging investigation is triggered, involving local homicide detectives, the secret service, the FBI itself, and Alli's own uncle, the billionaire lobbyist Henry Carson. And yet nothing is what it seems.
What follows is a treacherous journey that leads Jack and Alli into a complex web of lies and deceit. Using Jack's unique gifts to see the through the labyrinth of manipulation, their investigation leads them into the dark heart of the international slave trade, tied to a powerful Albanian crime lord whose ability and influence in global terrorism grows with each day. The two find themselves in the crosshairs of vast global enterprise, one that lurks in the shadows of power and has infiltrated Washington and their lives in ways neither of them could ever have imagined. And hidden deep among it all sits a terrifying criminal mastermind, someone fueled by a hatred that can never be quenched, and a mind that knows neither feeling nor mercy.
Take another thrill ride with Jack McClure.

"Good Beginning, Rough Middle Bad End."
Too many characters, too many sub plots the latter part of the book was muddled and the ending was not believable. Looks like a sequal will follow.
Entrepreneur + Avid Reader + Concerned Political Skeptic
"An Excellent Complex Thriller"
This book is both well-written and narrated. If you enjoy fast-paced fiction thrillers that follow current issues, this book should be well worth your purchase. Jack McClure is both a likable and a believable main character - and the supporting characters (good and bad) complement an interesting complex plot. If I had a minor criticism, I think the narrator might think about a better way to transition the fast paced parallel events that make up the story. These transitions probably would not a problem reading the book - but occasionally caused me to rewind while listening.
Since I thoroughly enjoyed Blood Trust - my first Jack McClure book - I plan to read Van Lustbader's earlier McClure books.

"Save your money. Last Lustbader I'll Buy"
Oh, brother. This one was even worse than the one before it. I never put it on fast forward, but rather just listened to the 2nd half of it in the background. It was just a dud. Very disappointing. Nothing about it is believable in the least and the narrator was not the right one for this book. He wasn't terrible, but the production was poor. No way to tell that you were switching to a completely different setting the way you could have if you were reading the book. A complete disappointment.

"Disgusted this Eric Van Lustbader fan!"
I Gave-Up on this audiobook after listening to two chapters!
I have never "given-up" listening to an audiobook, in over 100 downloads/ Audio-CD listenings.
I Have been a long time Lustbader fan (Nicholas Linnear/ Jason Bourne-series) & individual novels.
I found myself becoming increasingly incensed at the inane story-line and the preening histrionic narrations of Richard Ferrone. Ferrone's reading style would have been more appropriate were he reading the lines of the fool -Malvolio- from Shakespeare's "Twelve Night". Not for a Thriller novel!
I did not have this acerbic reaction to "Last Snow"-(previous 'Jack McClure' novel).
I can neither recommend the story nor the narrator. I would prefer a 0-☆ rating, however that is not an option.
"Save your credit"
First I am an Eric VL fan. This novel has to much esoteric talking to the dead. Goes off in tangents and story lags. I couldn't finish. Hope he writes more Jason Bourn -- Ludlum style

Four Exclusive 'Stoker' Images, Plus a List of Theaters Where It's Playing
If you're in the mood for a deliciously evil coming-of-age movie, then you'll want to see Stoker when it creeps into a theater near you this month. Stoker is a freaky movie. It's weird, dark, brutal and uncomfortable, and at the same time it's this really unassuming coming-of-age tale about a girl whose journey to adulthood begins to clash with... well, some other more violent things. We wouldn't expect anything less from the English-language debut of Park Chan-wook (Oldboy), and after the movie made its official debut at this past Sundance Film Festival, it quickly became a festival favorite for those who dug its twisted humor and freakishly memorable shower scenes.
To celebrate its limited release this weekend, we have four exclusive images for you below, as well as the current list of theaters it'll be screening at this week and next week. Trust us, and go get your freak on with this one when it slides into your neighborhood.
Which one of these people is in the movie Assassin's Creed?

Have you ever been out running an errand and suddenly decided to do something else completely? Story. Of. My. Life. I'm a pretty distracted gal, but once in a while I love spur of the moment happenings.
A few nights ago, I was driving around, dropping movies off, shopping, etc. I drove over a bridge and looked over to see a crowd gathering. I immediately pulled over, parked, grabbed my camera and walked down to the bike path. I asked around to make sure I stopped for the right thing, and sure enough, I did. I stopped because I wanted to see the bats.
I'm not even going to bother posting the photo I took because you can't see anything in it. Just a lonely bridge. Yay for lousy photo taking skills. :)
So I found a better photo (thanks Google!):
I went the night after as well. This time, it was planned and I took Chance. The only downside: if you sit too close you can get a good whiff of bat feces. Yum.
In other news, I've gotten back into night running. At our old apartment, I loved running at night. Mostly because there were street lights, and sidewalks and I just felt safe running where there was a good amount of traffic and I wouldn't be kidnapped. Seriously, I'm afraid of that happening. And it's a legitimate fear, I think. But recently, we moved up north towards the river and there's a lack of street lights and traffic and it's just too darn quiet at night. So, I've been freaked out about running after hours.
But the night time and I are becoming good friends once again. Good thing too. It's hella hot during the day. Even early morning runs are hard to get through this time of the year. And who doesn't like breaking out their reflective Ragnar gear? Brings back good memories. :)

This Saturday, June 13th, is World Wide Knit in Public Day! How much do you knit in public? Whether it's in a coffee or bookshop, on public transportation or in the park, I always have my knitting with me, ready to be pulled out whenever I have a slow moment. I find that it's those couple of rows that I can get done here and there, that seem to make all the difference in keeping my projects on track. Suddenly, I'm done with them, and I've been less grumpy with train schedules and other annoyances in the process. Double win! We tend to open up the holiday a bit more than it's name suggests and refer it as World Wide Craft in Public Day! Whether you knit, crochet, or do anther craft, it's great to do it among others in a public place. You never know who you'll meet! This year, Knit Picks is holding what we're calling a "Knit Pick-nic" for Craft in Public Day. If you're in the Portland, Oregon area and want to join us for some outdoor crafting, we'll be in Sellwood Park (picnic area H). We'll have prize packs for the first 100 or so friends that join us, a meet and greet with local designers, and so much fun in general! You can find all of the details on the Knit Picks Facebook page HERE. If you're not in our area, we hope you'll craft in public where ever you might reside. Handmade items among members of your community - who can resist? (photo is from the Knit Picks Holiday Craft Party at West Elm, this past Winter) |

The World Wide Knit in Public Week is coming up in just a month! While we knit (and crochet and spin) in public all the time, we thought we'd celebrate our crafting with a fun contest! |
by admin on June 14, 2013
I've never been one to shy away from public crafting. In fact, if my hands aren't busy all the time, I basically just fuss and fidget and drive myself nuts. So, it's no surprise that many of the folks at the fine coffee and food establishments I frequent are well enough acquainted with me to ask much more specific questions than "Is that called yarning?" In fact, one barista was surprised when the sweater I'd been working on for some time wasn't with me for a few weeks, when she knew it wasn't finished. Well, there's a good reason for that, I explained, as I was busy crocheting a doily. I messed up! |

I've knit in public quite a bit over the years - when I lived in Massachusetts, I knit about 2 pairs of socks a month just on my 2-3 hour daily train commute! Now most of my public crafting seems to be in dark places - bars, coffee shops and especially the movies. I can't seem to go to the movies without my project - if I don't, I spend most the film fidgeting, which doesn't seem to please my other half. It gets so annoying that I'll realize that I'm nearing the heel turn in a pair of socks that I'll have to cast on for something new before we head out to the movies! (Note: I have done a short row heel while watching a movie in the theater. I don't recommend it, unless you like ripping it out and redoing it when you get home.) So my craft in public projects tend to be small (so they fit in my bag!) and easy stockinette patterns - things I don't need to look at when working - which is why I don't crochet in public very often - I still need to look down at my project when I'm crocheting. My first choice is generally socks - I use the Two at Once, Toe Up, Magic Loop Socks Pattern all the time now (that way I don't drop my DPNs!). |

Crafting started as something fun to do once in a while, like during a rainy day or on the odd vacation weekend. I have a few memories of making massive collages of tiny horses cut out of magazines, or sorting through a giant jar of buttons. That was all before I picked up a pair of knitting needles late in high school. From that moment on I needed to craft. It became a lifestyle. I knit in class, on the bus, during movies, on car rides to the store and especially in parks on nice days. |
by Jenny K on June 11, 2013
Ever since I committed to learning crochet, I've found myself trading in my needles for hooks more often than not. So for me, this year's Knit & Crochet in Public week has been all about returning to my first (and sadly unfinished!) crochet project. Say "Hello!" to my pile of 140+ crocheted circles; all waiting patiently to become the Hexagon How-To Blanket by Lucy of Attic24! |
by admin on June 10, 2013
To begin, I'd like to share an exchange that occurred in a waiting room last year: Young boy: HEY! What are you doing? Me: Oh, hey there. You mean this? I'm crocheting a scarf. Young boy: CROW-saying? Me: Right, close! I'm crocheting. See, you use this hook to make loops with the yarn. Young boy: (yells across room) MOM, LOOK AT WHAT THIS GIRL IS SEWING. Young boy's mother: Honey, that's not sewing. She's knitting. Public crafting—like anything you do that's not "staring blankly at the ground"—opens you (and your work) up to an immediate and directed dialogue with strangers; as most of you have experienced, this is both good and bad! In honor of "Knit & Crochet in Public Week" (which kicked off last Saturday), I'd like to present the best stranger comments I've heard over the last couple of weeks (from parks to cafes), all in relation to the same in-progress Brava blanket pictured above |

through the coffee shop window
I noticed the clouds were the colour of a pigeon's wing.
then I saw him
he was sitting a couple of tables over
ignoring his coffee in favour of his paper.
he never even noticed me.
how could he not notice me when my feelings are so strong?
I was chilled by the wind that came in the door with her.
she sat down with him
and he tongue kissed her.
as he turned to reach her mouth, I noticed the 'forever' tattooed on his neck;
the matching one on my wrist burned.
finally he noticed me, smiled and gestured hi.
how could he smile at me when my feelings are so strong?
they leave together;
it starts to rain.

Big Words is an activity which promotes an increase in phonetic awareness, spelling accuracy, and vocabulary development. The game I describe below was inspired by authors Patricia M. Cunningham and Dorothy P. Hall in their book Making Big Words. The copy I purchased over ten years ago encouraged me to turn their ideas into a class-wide game which has been a huge hit ever since.
The first objective of the game is to create as many words as possible from a given set of letters. To play, each student is given an envelope containing a strip of letters in alphabetical order, vowels listed first and then consonants. The student cuts these apart so that the individual letters can be easily manipulated on the desktop. Moving the letters about, students attempt to form as many words as possible. Beginners may only be able to form two-, three-, and four-letter words, but with time and practice will be able to use knowledge of word parts and blends to form much longer words.
The second objective is to spell a single word (the Big Word!) with all the letters. In my class, that Big Word very often relates to an upcoming trip, project, or special event, and thus serves double-duty to build excitement and enthusiasm.
As Big Words is used on a regular basis, the teacher can discuss strategies for increasing word counts. Some of these strategies include rhyming, changing single letters at the beginning or ending of each word, using blends, homophones, etc. Many additional words can also be generated through the use of -s to create plurals, and -e to create long vowel sounds. Some students will discover that reading their words backwards prompts additional ideas. Additionally, the teacher can discuss word parts which can help students to understand what they read (such as how the suffix -tion usually changes a verb to a noun, as in the word relaxation).
While the book emphasizes individual practice, we prefer to play Big Words as a class game. I've outlined our procedures below. You can also access these directions as a printable Google Doc.
BIG WORDS Game Play
- Have students cut apart the letters, and then begin forming as many words as possible using those letters. Remind them to not share ideas with partners, and to not call out words as they work (especially the Big Word).
- After about fifteen minutes, have students draw a line under their last word, and then number their list. They cannot add to or change their lists, but new words that they hear from classmates should be added once the game starts.
- Divide the class into two teams. Direct students to use their pencil to "star" their four best words which they would like to share. These should be words which the other team might not have discovered.
- Determine how the score will be kept (on a chalkboard, interactive whiteboard, etc.). The teacher should also have a way to publicly write words as they're shared so that students can copy them more easily. Here are links to a PowerPoint scoreboard or an online scoreboard.
- Hand a stuffed animal or other object to the first student from each team. This tangible item will help the students, and you, to know whose turn it is to share. Tell students that only the player holding the stuffed animal may speak. Other players who talk out of turn will cost their team one penalty point. These penalty points should be awarded to the opposing team, not subtracted from a score. This will greatly reduce unnecessary noise.
- Play takes place as follows: The first student shares a word, nice and loud. He or she spells it out. If any player on the opposing team has that word, they raise their hand quietly and the teacher checks to see that it is the same word. (It doesn't matter if any student on the speaker's team has the word or not). Every player who has it should check it off, and every player who does not have it should write it into their notebook.
- If no player on the opposing team has the word, then the team scores 3 points. If anyone on the opposing team has the word, then only 1 point is scored.
- If a player shares a word which has already been given aloud, their team is penalized 2 points! This helps everyone to pay better attention to the game.
- Ironically, the Big Word counts for as many points as any other word. Feel free to change that if you prefer, but I discovered that if I make it worth more points, students waste an extraordinary amount of time trying to form the Big Word alone, while ignoring the creation of any smaller words.
- Play until a predetermined time, and then if the Big Word hasn't been formed yet, provide students with the first two or three letters to see who can create it.

Receive news about tea, health, and special offers!
The Eastern province of Guandong, once known as Canton, is a subtropical region, strongly influenced from the moist air of the South China Sea. They primarily produce oolong, black and puerh teas.
With today's new found prosperity, China's tea lovers has also discovered a new tea fad -- Black Tea! However, today's black tea produced from China is a far cry from the black tea commonly enjoyed by the west for over a century. Today's Chinese black tea lovers look for a beautifully shaped leaf, western black tea drinkers often look for a good color cup as more important than leaf shape. Western black tea drinkers often enjoy it with milk and sugar or paired with pastries while the new Chinese black tea admirers wants the tea to stand on its own without interfering the experience with other flavors.
The new black tea is expected to produce multiple infusions as oppose to the standard English practice of boiling water for 5 minutes once. Two very different approaches that makes sense due to the intended usage of two very different cultures. When I finally decided to adjust my long-held stubborn western attitude and starting cupping this outstanding black tea from Ying De of China's Guangdong province the way the Chinese are doing it now, I was pleasantly surprised by the orange golden color cup and the light fruity and floral notes. I was able to get multiple infusion using water that is just below boiling water for quick 30 second steepings.
When I was a young tea merchant, with the prominence of the likes of Yunnan and Keemun black teas, the famous Ying De Hong Cha has been all but forgotten until recent years. This outstanding example of Ying De's finest is beautiful to look at with immense amounts of golden tips and nicely shaped curls, when infused correctly it is a most pleasing experience that only blacks teas of this kind can produce.
Suggested brewing at just below boiling water (or lower) for short steeping, absolutely fabulous all on its own but we encourage you to find your own "fit".
We're here to help. Chat with one of our experts.

11 high-performance loudspeakers with optimum position in the car. 4 x 26 mm metal-matrix dome tweeters, front & rear 2 x 217 mm woofers (central bass), below front seats 4 x 100 mm metal-matrix midrange speakers, front & rear 1 x 80 mm x 200 mm EDPL midrange tweeter, dashboard Amplifier Harman Kardon® DSP amplifier with 340-watt total output Harman Kardon Premium Sound System in the BMW X1 Good vibrations both on and off the road The new Harman Kardon® sound system in the BMW X1 will enthrall listeners with powerful bass sounds, natural midrange tones and crystal-clear treble, while also offering improved efficiency, more dynamism and more power. The system, tailor-made exactly to the special inner dimensions of the X1, permits a unique sound experience that meets the highest standards, even when driving off-road. The basis for this are the high-quality individual components that have been designed right from the development stage for extreme loads far exceeding those to be expected during normal usage. Unique surround sound thanks to innovative technology The Harman Kardon audio system in the BMW X1 offers a superior volume level and a sound that is subtly differentiated and rich in detail with its 340-watt total power output through the DSP amplifier. Low bass tones are passed on to the loudspeakers, and every instrument can make its presence felt on the virtual concert platform. The X1 has eleven high-end sound transducers that have been optimally integrated in the vehicle interior. The special metal-matrix diaphragms of the four 26 mm tweeters and the four 100 mm midrange speakers have a sandwich structure made from an aluminum core with a ceramic surface and thus offer a top-class, high-fidelity musical experience. For the first time in a BMW X1, a center loudspeaker was installed. An outstanding feature of this EDPL, in addition to its extremely flat construction, is its good dynamic range (in addition: no distortion factor, easily adjustable speaker direction, lightweight). The central bass function is carried out by two 217 mm subwoofers that are located on the right and left sides under the drivers and passengers seats and pass their good vibrations directly to the listener. The faithful surround sound in the compact SUV is based on the pioneering surround technology by Harman Kardon, that permits faithful, expansive sound reproduction from stereo recordings in every seat. The surround information is optimally distributed via the BMW X1's speakers, producing a sound that remains faithful to the original. This gives passengers the impression of being in a much bigger space with a broad sound platform regardless of where they are seated. http://www.bmw.harmankardon.com/en/v...-X1/index.aspx |

Queen City Gets Real

Higher Education
Clifton / CUF
A locally based and produced reality show debuting this July is more than a close look at four young professional women experiencing our city's arts and culture. Behind the scenes, it's a testament of the "real-world hustle" - what academics call active learning - championed by audio and visual faculty at
Cincinnati State Technical and Community College
In 2004, the College spent more than $1 million to create its state of the art Advanced Technology and Learning Center, a facility that includes mixing rooms, audio and visual studios and labs (as well as the
Midwest Culinary Institute
). Inside the building, AV student co-ops operate cameras, capture audio and polish their work in a post-production suite similar to ones utilized at local television and production studios. Students enroll in the A/V curriculum for at least three terms, and receive two credits at the end of each as well as participate in a highly regarded A/V co-op program that provides real world experience for grads.
"The co-op experience is very important in this industry," says Paul Grundy, video production manager and member of the A/V faculty at Cincinnati State. "It is a niche industry, you have to make contacts, you have to work co-ops, and you have to meet real clients." And he should know. After working several years in news production with WCPO (Channel 9) and other stations, Grundy helped launch the audio/visual production program at Cincinnati State in 1998. He served as chair for nearly four years before working another stint at Channel 9, but came back to Cincinnati State four years later. He was instrumental in the design of the school's Advanced Technology and Learning Center, an opportunity he says he couldn't miss.
"What makes working at school exciting is that we're always looking at what the next things are going to be," he says. "It's fascinating to teach and talk about production because the aesthetics of things might stay the same, but the technology is always changing. We found that being legitimate on our own turf, really doing what we talk about rather than just talking about it, helps students. They're able to seamlessly jump into other jobs."
One potential employer apparently agrees. Local Fox television affiliate, Channel 19, was so impressed with Cincinnati State's facilities and A/V program that it is partnering with the school on a new TV reality show production called
Queen City
, which will air Sundays July 24-Aug. 14 at 11 p.m. on Fox 19. Each show will run a half-hour and will also be available on iTunes once the series concludes. Currently in production, the show has three dedicated A/V student co-ops and a handful of volunteers that work under the supervision of Grundy and Cincinnati State's in-house composer/sound designer, Bobby Gayol. Grundy says that the show is not only a valuable learning experience for the students, but a way for the school's program to find further credibility in the professional world.
"We found that being legitimate on our own turf, really doing what we talk about rather than just talking about it, helps students. They're able to seamlessly jump into other jobs," he says.
After developing the Queen City concept, Gayol and Grundy decided they wanted students to work on an adventure show rather a cat-fight-inducing drama. Think Top Gear with a chic girl overlay.
"That's one of the first things I want to dispel," says Gayol. "This show is not like
The Hills
Jersey Shore
, or
Real Housewives
. These are Cincinnati girls doing Cincinnati things. These girls have real jobs, and they're knee-deep in city activities and charities. They hustle and show off Cincinnati in the meantime."
Justin Vonderhaar is project manager of
Queen City
. In his third term as a co-op, he coordinates schedules and organizes legal files for the production. He says he swears by Google and its email, document and calendar functions to do his job right.
"It's a little hectic," the 29 year old says, laughing. "Trying to coordinate the schedule of four socialites in and of itself is a job, and then I'm trying to coordinate that with the production team and their schedules, as well as their class schedules."
"It's all worth it," he adds. "This merges the two things I love to do - manage and work in a creative environment."
Rob Woodward, a co-op in the middle of his second term as Gayol's lead assistant in sound design, says he was in his first week as a co-op when his mentor shared some awesome news.
"We're producing a pilot for a reality TV show," the 21 year old recalls being told. "We've been working as hard as we can since it started. But this is what I want to do. I have to impress people." And what has he learned thus far?
"With school projects, we go into the field, but we never get to work with professionals in the field. I've learned the workflow of how things go. I feel independent," Woodward says.
Another co-op, Amanda O'Casek, is in her fourth term and works for Grundy as an assistant video editor on Queen City. The 31 year old shoots on-site and later edits the footage at the Advanced Technology and Learning Center.
"I've put in a good 40 or 50 hours so far," she says. Like the other co-ops, she previously worked on a variety of projects including commercials, music and corporate videos, but she says Queen City is a much larger project and requires not only more time, but flexibility.
"With a reality show, you kind of have to go with it, roll with the punches," she says. "There's not much of script, so you have to keep an eye out for good shots and dialogue. You have to move quickly. We definitely try to bring out the best in them."
Grundy agrees. "We're not trying to invent drama here. It's more fun letting them be themselves."

Mark Chamberlain, the father of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, believes it would be "prudent" for him to stay away from England's Euro 2012 matches in Ukraine amid concerns over black and Asian supporters facing the possibility of racist abuse in the country.
The Foreign Office and human rights organisations have issued warnings surrounding racism in both host nations, Poland and Ukraine. "It's a major concern," said Chamberlain, himself a former England player. "I think your safety is more important than a game of football. There are reports over the last couple of weeks of racist taunts and threats. It's just prudent for myself to keep away from it."
Theo Walcott's family have already said that none of them will be going to the finals because of the recent warnings over racism.
Amnesty International is the latest body to express concern about the Euros, this time over Poland. "The harsh reality is that racism remains commonplace in Poland and there are numerous reports of xenophobia on the terraces and in the stands of Polish football grounds," said Kate Allen, director of Amnesty International UK.

Did Marie Antoinette really say "let them eat cake"?
Dear Cecil:
Did the French queen, Marie Antoinette, ever actually utter the phrase, "Let them eat cake"? I have a friend who claims that Crazy Marie actually said something in French that, in phonetic spelling, merely sounded like "Let them eat cake." Is the line in a class with Humphrey Bogart's "Play it again, Sam" — i.e., bogus?
Cecil replies:
I have a dream that someday one of these alleged facts of history is actually going to pan out. However, today is not the day. While Marie Antoinette was certainly enough of a bubblehead to have said the phrase in question, there is no evidence that she actually did so, and in any case she did not originate it. The peasants-have-no-bread story was in common currency at least since the 1760s as an illustration of the decadence of the aristocracy. The political philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau mentions it in his Confessions in connection with an incident that occurred in 1740. (He stole wine while working as a tutor in Lyons and then had problems trying to scrounge up something to eat along with it.) He concludes thusly: "Finally I remembered the way out suggested by a great princess when told that the peasants had no bread: 'Well, let them eat cake.'"
Now, J.-J. may have been embroidering this yarn with a line he had really heard many years later. But even so, at the time he was writing — early 1766 — Marie Antoinette was only ten years old and still four years away from her marriage to the future Louis XVI. Writer Alphonse Karr in 1843 claimed that the line originated with a certain Duchess of Tuscany in 1760 or earlier, and that it was attributed to Marie Antoinette in 1789 by radical agitators who were trying to turn the populace against her.
As for your friend's suggestion, I suppose it's possible that one day, while under the influence of powerful hallucinogens, Marie said Le theme est quete ("The theme is quest"), and was overheard by an English-speaking tourist — thus giving rise, as your friend suggests, to the "Let them eat cake" legend. But frankly I doubt it.
Let them eat pot scrapings
Dear Cecil:
Thank you for so nobly coming to the defense of the much-maligned Marie Antoinette, just as you did a few years ago with the equally vilified Catherine the Great. And now, as Paul Harvey would say, here's the rest of the story …
At the time that whoever-she-was uttered the infamous quotation "let them eat cake," the word "cake" did not refer to the familiar dessert item that the modern-day French call le gateau. The operative term was brioche, a flour-and-water paste that was "caked" onto the interiors of the ovens and baking pans of the professional boulangers of the era. (The modern equivalent is the oil-and-flour mixture applied to non-Teflon cake pans.) At the end of the day, the baker would scrape the leavings from his pans and ovens and set them outside the door for the benefit of beggars and scavengers. Thus, the lady in question was simply giving practical, if somewhat flippant, advice to her poor subjects: If one cannot afford the bourgeois bread, he can avail himself of the poor man's "cake."
However, by the time Marie Antoinette ascended the throne, brioche had acquired its current meaning — a fancy pastry item which, like le gateau, was priced far beyond the means of any but the wealthiest classes. The anti-Marie propagandists were well aware that their compatriots, most of whom were uneducated in either history or semantics, would swallow the story whole, so to speak, and not get the joke. Bon appetit!
Cecil replies:
That's very interesting, N., but wrong. Brioche is a sort of crusty bun, typically containing milk, flour, eggs, sugar, butter, and whatnot. It's considered a delicacy, and as far as I can determine (which is pretty far) has been since the Middle Ages. According to one cooking historian, brioche originally contained brie cheese, whence the name. Nicolas Bonnefons, writing in Delices de la campagne in 1679, gives a recipe for brioche that calls for butter and soft cheese, plus a glaze containing beaten eggs and (if desired) honey. Sounds pretty tasty, and in any case certainly not something bakers would line pots with.

Ok so I have built a few websites using wordpress, I purchased this template today and I am having very little to NO luck creating my site? On my theme options I can't save ANY of my changes?? I can't upload an image for my logo and I can't figure out how to edit my slider? I am not seeing any documentation for help with the site or files? Someone please help…
February 27, 2012 at 8:55 am #65634Hey,
please make sure that no plugins conflict with the theme. Maybe one causes a js error in the backend and the option panel doesn't work properly. If this doesn't help reupload all wordpress core files and theme files – we had several cases where corrupt files caused issues.
February 27, 2012 at 3:30 pm #65635Still not sure what is going on?? I cannot change the theme options? I have uninstalled the theme and re-installed it? Please let me know what I am doing wrong? Thank you for your repsonse.
February 27, 2012 at 3:32 pm #65636Also I don't have an option to change color of font? So confused on other themes I have purchased I have all the option right there? Is there a JS that isn't loading? Just really lost right now.. Please help.
February 27, 2012 at 3:53 pm #65637In Menu > Theme Propulsion > Styling, change "Body Font color" to what you want….
Maybe you've got file permissions problems.
Slider : You've got the documentation with the theme when you unzipped it, create a New Page and under you've got "Featured media…."
Add Image to Slideshow, that's all :-D
February 27, 2012 at 5:50 pm #65638Ok I think I figured out the Slider, can you help with what is going on with the theme options?? I can't make any changes there? Ugg.. Frustrating.. Thanks. When I try to make any change and then I click "Save all changes" it does nothing and goes to top of screen. If I leave Propulsion theme options and come back nothing has been saved. ??? What am I missing?

I have no Styling option?
February 27, 2012 at 10:07 pm #65640It still isn't working, I uploaded the Theme how I was suppose to. I did notice in the documentation with the other files. In the documentation folder there is an assests folder with: blueprint-css, images, and js. I installed my plugins. There is also a psd zip with a psd files. Where should I uploade those to? Sorry but this template is way different than other wordpress sites I have done and it doesn't help that I haven't done this for a while. Please help. Thanks!
As for my options in Theme Propulsion I have: Styling, Layout & Settings, Portfolio, Contact, Sidebar, and Footer. When I click on any of them it does nothing. What am I missing???
