Six Huntington City residents applied to the Huntington City Council to replace Travis Larsen on the city council. Larsen was recently transferred by his employer, Rocky Mountain Power, to the Salt Lake City area and submitted his resignation effective the end of September. The Council, individually and collectively thanked Travis for his service to the city. Larsen was instrumental in the completion of the new fire station.
Former councilpersons Cathy Cowley and Bob Mills, Huntington fire fighter Warren Oviatt, Huntington animal control officer Cardell Sackett, Huntington Cert leader Gloria Wilson and Kallon Cowley all submitted applications in a timely manner. All but Kallon Cowley went to the September City Council meeting and responded one at a time to questions from the council. Each had an opportunity to speak also if so desired.
After each applicant had their opportunity to speak, the current council voted for the replacement. Gloria Wilson was elected by the council to serve until January 2014. The position will be on the ballot in November 2013. The replacement was done according to Utah Code 20A-1-510.
In other business, local resident Jeff Guymon purchased two old water tanks from the city by way of a bidding process on Ebay. The city had listed the tanks prior for sale but had to rescind all prior action when two conflicting bid processes were put into play.
The Council approved the business licenses for two businesses in the city. Bella Lamore and The Workout Place were approved to open in the city.
Huntington City also decided to start doing their own building permits and inspections. After being tied in with the county for a number of years, the Council decided to return to the days of hiring their own inspector and doing the work themselves. The county is currently contracting with Sunrise Engineering out of Utah County for inspections. The city hired Emery County resident Trenton Bennett to fill the position.
The Mayor, Hilary Gordon, brought up the issue of river clean-up following the recent fire up the canyon and subsequent massive rain storms that have devastated the canyon even more. The bridge over the river on 400 East needs to be cleaned along with the bridge by the rodeo grounds. Those are the responsibility of the city while the one on the highway coming into town is the responsibility of UDOT. Up the canyon is a massive dam of trees that is approximately six feet deep and nine hundred feet long that is a major concern to not only the city but to the county as well.

A premium trainer offering plenty of support and protection, the ASICS Gel Kayano 20 features maximum cushioning and a soft ride.
The ASICS Gel Kayano 20 is a tried and true trainer with plenty of support, a plush ride and a lasting heritage. This premium shoe utilizes top of the line upper technologies to ensure a fit customized to your foot, while a supportive platform provides the stability you need without sacrificing a silky smooth ride. Look no further if you desire lavish comfort in a high mileage trainer.
Model Number:
Weight: 11.3 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (30mm), Forefoot (20mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
The Kayano 20 is a maximum feature, maximum support shoe designed for daily training and high mileage.
Comments: Asics' pricing is out of control. As good as Kayanos are, they are not $40 to $50 more shoe than a pair of Adrenalines or Wave Inspires, just to name two comparable support shoes.
From: Scott, Atlanta, GA, USA
Comments: The Kayano 20 is an improvement over the previous model (Kayano 19). The toebox is larger than previous versions and seems broke in right out of the box - put 25 miles on shoes and no issues.

Skip to comments.Report: Russia Transferred S-300 Missiles Into Syria
Posted on 09/10/2013 5:33:26 AM PDT by Fennie
Russia has transferred several S-300 missile batteries into Syria, Kuwaiti newspaper Al Rai reported Tuesday. The transfers took place despite statements by Russian officials, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, that Russia would not provide Syria with the advanced anti-aircraft system.
Al Rai claimed that Syria has accelerated the rate at which it ships arms into Syria since the current crisis between Russia and the US began, when chemical weapons were allegedly used to kill over 1,000 civilians, on August 21.
The information was picked up by Voice of Israel public radio, which added that Russian ships are due to offload more military aid in the next few days.
(Excerpt) Read more at israelnationalnews.com ...
I suppose this will make the pro-Putin Freepers happy. As for me, it's just more evidence that the man has and is stoking the fires in Syria and in the Middle East. He also profits from helping Iran, but hey, at least he's not Obama.
If there is one solid observation coming of this mid-east fiasco, its that virtually every other leader in the world has managed to out think, out maneuver, and totally disgrace the low IQ piece of excrement currently drawing flies in the White House. He's so dumb even other Muslims can out do him.
And what's even more scary is that that "thing" is what liberals consider to be their best.
With no military background, but from what I picked-up here on FR about the S-300, a full-on S-300 system wouldn't bode well for any planes or missiles in Syrian airspace.
and we sent 400 MANPADs...
How many abortions in the USA last year?
Their best hell! They consider him their god. Even those who claim to be Christians. If you don't believe it, say something they to be a criticism of Obama and watch their reaction. When I did that, the guy would not have been as upset [mad] if I had taken the Lord's name in vain.
It will also sadden the pro al-qeada types who want to get us involved as the al-qeada air force.
When you have one world leader and a community organizer going at eachother this is what you get. Obama knows nothing about foreign policy and he was backed into a corner and made to look like the loudmouthed idiot he is. Tip to Obama, if you don't know what you are talking about,,,SHUT-THE-HE*L-UP!!!
Yep, and I suppose this will make the pro-Saudi Arabia/Al Queda group sad, less money and pilots for another 9-11.
The longer Putin stretches this out, the better Assad defenses become. I think the Ruskies announced how decent their radars were when they picked up that midnight test of two missiles last week. El Dope would have to be suicidal to attack such a well protected and small area. Maybe we have a counter for it, maybe if we do we should not deploy it here and announce it to the Ruskies.
I notice el dope is now talking quaranteen of WMDs and has moved his rhetoric away from punishing Assad for what he did (or may have done). Putin wins another round. If this were a prize fight, Obama would be taking a standing 8 count while his corner is readying the towel toss.
I don't trust Putin for a minute, but Putin wants to protect Christian areas.
Obama wants to take the side of Muslims who beheading Christians and include some Al Queada elements.
Who's right and who's wrong in this conflict?
Obama's going to want to push the RESET button with Russia again.
You are free to worship Obama to your heart's content.
S-300 is good but not great, the serious threat is how many ya have.
If you have four missiles closing from four separate launch sites, you're in big trouble.
The S-350 is another matter, but it is not deployed in Syria, only Russia.
I worship God. And God's name is not Putin and it sure as hell is not Obama. Don't be a fool.
Judging by the tone of your post, you could fool me.
I'm fine with killing all of the al Qaeda terrorists. Assad came late to that fight. He was for them when they were killing Americans in Iraq. They've turned on him, so now he's against them. I don't have to support Assad to be anti-al Qaeda.
Obama: But Vlad, that was YOUR idea!
Putin: Nyet, nyet Braki, you were the genius who avoided WWIII...
Obama: (Swoon*) Oh Vlad, gosh your a darn nice guy.
Putin: (To an aid, quietly) Tell Assad the S-300's are in the Latakiya port on our vessels and ready for transfer.
Obama: What? What's that Vlad? Did I hear S-300s? Missiles?
Putin: Nyet Baraki, I just told him that we are loading 300 Russian personnel on our ships to get out of here ASAP.
Obama: Vlad, come on, that was just a ploy, you know me, I wouldn't attack anybody...
Putin: I know Baraki, I know. Look, I have to make a few phone calls, I regret to leave you for now but I must - finish your hot cocoa...
Obama: Yes, I almost forgot, the hot cocoa, mmmmmm, slurp, mmmm...reset, reset, reset...
Putin (To aid, in Russian) Don't forget to remove the bugs from under the table after this jerk leaves the cafe.
We have no business getting involved at all.
Putin protects a type of Christianity that must be subservient to him. What Orthodox Christian leader in Russia opposes Putin or the Russian governments support for abortion? They cannot. Putin's using Christianity; he's not following it. And before you accuse me of supporting Obama, I'll say the truth about him. He used Christianity and the weird Reverend Wright race-based church to fool foolish Christians. Putin and Obama have a lot more in common than many people want to admit.
Judging by the tone of your post, I'd guess you worship Putin. Just like Liberals won't tolerate criticism of Obama, you apparently believe it's wrong to criticize Putin. Putin puts dissident in prison for no good reason and assassinates political opponents. He supports and funds abortion.
If this were a prize fight, Obama would be in the showers with his bathhouse BFF/muzzies, and not in the ring.
Most have no illusion of who Putnin is, but we are sick and tired of Obama, and Clinton before him, getting away with any kind of illegal activity with absolutely no impunity because of the corrupt MSM. The same corrupt MSM that went after Bush with a vengeance each and every day he was in public office.
So yeah, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, however temporary and restrained that may be.
We're not exactly pro-Putin here at FR. We know full well he is a KGB thug who regrets the fall of the USSR. He is also a Russian nationalist which is bad news for the West (Russians are proudly non-Western).
But, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" applies here. In 2016 Hillary, as a member of the same party as Obama, will have to run with, not against, her predecessor's record. That's already going to be a profoundly difficult task.
Putin is about to hand Obama his @ss over Syria. Bottom line. Let Hillary take that and run with it.
Then too, Putin is pro-Christian and anti-fag, so he can't be all bad.
its not a worship of putin, but an admiration for a what a real leader looks like. i don't trust or worship putin. but i do admire his leadership. and some of his values like true anti muslim terrorism, anti gay propaghanda , etc.
You know he's a KGB thug. I'm not sure all of the posters do. I think it's like praising Old Joe Stalin because he's fighting Hitler. I won't pretend either Putin or Obama is a Christian or a Conservative. If that upsets some, then fine.
Wow. Powerful.
Side note: the child like emperor pwince brak armed al-qeada via a fast & furious style gun running scheme via Libya.
He has been planning to get us involved in support of al-qeada no matter what since before Benghazi.
Wanting to see the child like emperor take a bruising has little to do with Assad or Putin.
We have no business being involved.
If this were a prize fight, Obama would be on the side line flinching.
Obama may do something really stupid in Syria where Russian AA missiles are waiting for our aircraft, the lives of whose crews concern Obama not in the slightest.
If he does, Putin will administer serious beatdown on the Chicago manchild.
Well, the S300 systems would be the first to be destroyed starting with their radar support input.
There would be a lot of expensive Russian junk lying about, even if the Syrians had the manpower & infrastructure to quickly setup additional systems. -which I doubt
And the only person Brak has to blame is himself and his big flapping mouth.
But the press assured us he was oh so smert!
You are correct. There is a reason why the main radar is nicknamed Tomb Stone.
Putin is a sly leader and is dangerous...but like a stopped clock he is right on this one. Unfortunately, the fallout will be that the Russkies will be emboldened, and that does not bode well...esp. for eastern Europe. I think the freepers who admire him do so because he stands up to the fags and goatshaggers...but he will be a stronger tyrant thanks to Barry O'Carter.
I don't think that word means what you seem to think it means.
I don't think anybody is actually pro Putin here, it's more like, watching two enemies of the United States, one outside and one inside, go at it. The bigger threat is the enemy within, Obama. Watching him be humiliated by Putin and seeing his support in the MSM and liberal circles crumble can only be a good thing. Unfortunately though, Obama's ineptitude and weakness puts us all in peril. Therefore what we are actually rooting for is the destruction of the Obama regime... and if that happens at the hands of the outside enemy, well, that's Ok... To hell with Obama's America... God save the Constitutional Republic!!
To me the most astounding thing is that "The One" and his supporters are so damned stupid that they not only don't realize this, but can't even see it when it is pointed out to them.
Serbs used an SA-3 to shootdown an F-117. Overconfidence in an SA-300 environment is a bad bad idea.
Which makes the game of compare and contrast with the current US administration somewhat unfair.
This is the type of guy we are letting broker a "peace deal" with Syria? The whole thing about turning over their WMD's is a stall to allow them more time to protect and defend their hardware and personnel. Have to wait 28 days for that concrete to fully harden.
Good point; hadn't even thought of that scenario.
"You wanna learn the first rule? You'd know if you ever spent a day in your life. You never open your mouth till you know what the shot is. You ----ing child."
I think the S-300 has been glorified by the onslaught of Russian bragging. Not too long ago, Croatia gave us an S-300 after the Balkan Wars so that we may examine it, and develop more appropriate countermeasures to spoof it.
Who is to say that we cannot evade this system? It hasn't even been tried in battle yet.
With a range of 200 kilometers it also threatens a broad swath of Israeli airspace. If these missiles are now moving into Syria the Israelis will make every attempt to destroy them before they are deployed. The Russians know that will be Israel's reaction so it may be this is a provocation.

DORAL, Fla. — Top-shelf groupings abound when 65 of the best players in the world get together.
First and foremost is the powerhouse trio of Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and Luke Donald, the top three in the world rankings, who will play the first and second rounds together in the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship on Thursday and Friday at Doral.
MISTAKES: Els says it's time to move on
They will tee off at 11:53 a.m. Thursday and 12:59 p.m. Friday.
Accenture Match Play champion Matt Kuchar goes out with Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter (11:42 a.m. Thursday, 12:48 p.m. Friday).
TIGER-JACK: Mind-blowing statistic
Phil Mickelson returns to the PGA Tour after a couple of weeks of break and plays with reigning Masters champion Bubba Watson and Steve Stricker (12:48 p.m. Thursday, 11:53 a.m. Friday).
And major champions Jim Furyk, Martin Kaymer and Padraig Harrington are grouped (1:10 p.m. Thursday, 12:15 a.m. Friday).
Despite all the high-powered pairings, no doubt all eyes will be on Woods and McIlroy.
McIlroy is coming off a walk-off loss at the Honda Classic — he left the course midway through the second round, complaining of a toothache — and Woods is coming off a mediocre performance and a bad final round.
There's no cut at this WGC event, so McIlroy should get a chance to play all four rounds for the first time this season. He missed the cut in Abu Dhabi, lost in the first round at the WGC-Accenture Match Play, then withdrew halfway through the defense of his Honda Classic title.

Mathieu Ravignat Pontiac, QC
Madam Speaker, yesterday, the President of the Treasury Board also chose to single out Nova Scotia's NDP government. He accused the members of that government of the same thing he is doing: making excessive use of their drivers and limousines, which are paid for with taxpayers' money.
The facts are clear: the Dexter government ministers do not even have drivers. The NDP government is fiscally responsible.
Perhaps the minister can take one of the limousines he has on standby and go apologize.

Andrew Saxton Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board and for Western Economic Diversification
Madam Speaker, I said it once and I will say it again: we are always looking for ways to run the government at a more reasonable cost to taxpayers.
Ministers work long hours, and drivers frequently have to work the hours the ministers work. Salaries and overtime for drivers employed by the public service are based on collective agreements with unions.

Madam Speaker, taxpayers do not want excuses, they want action.
Yesterday the President of the Treasury Board accused two provincial governments of using chauffeur services, but the facts are clear. In Nova Scotia ministers in Darrell Dexter's cabinet do not even use limos. They did away with their driver service after they took power. To do what? To save money.
Perhaps the minister could send his standby driver out to Nova Scotia and Manitoba to learn how responsible ministers respect taxpayer dollars.

Andrew Saxton Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board and for Western Economic Diversification
Madam Speaker, this is like Groundhog Day all over again. We are always looking for ways to run the government at a reasonable cost to taxpayers.
I will tell the House what we have done. We have frozen the salaries of MPs, including the salary of the member opposite. We have frozen the salaries of senators. We have reduced ministers' office spending, reduced the cost of travel and reduced hospitality spending.
This government is taking real action to reduce the cost to taxpayers.
Oral Questions

Dick Harris Cariboo—Prince George, BC
Madam Speaker, yesterday the hon. Minister of Health made a most important announcement of funding that would go a long way to helping Canadians facing neurological disorders. This is yet another example of this government's commitment to helping Canadians maintain and improve their health.
Would the hon. minister please share this good news with the members of the House?
Oral Questions

Leona Aglukkaq Minister of Health and Minister of the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency
Madam Speaker, one in three Canadians face a neurological disorder or related problems at some point in life.
Yesterday I was happy to announce funding to the Brain Canada Foundation to establish a research fund that would support the understanding and treatment of brain disorders. This investment will strengthen Canada's position as a world leader in research and in the identification and treatment of brain disorders.
This funding and the research it will support are central to our government's commitment to help Canadians maintain and improve their health.

As expected, not only are the employees feeling the effects, but so are programs and services. While the minister is drinking $16 glasses of orange juice, Canada is cutting its funding to the fight against TB by $10 million.
How did this government come up with these ridiculous priorities? Will it reverse its decision on these reckless cuts?

Oral Questions

Lois Brown Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Cooperation
Madam Speaker, budget 2012 has confirmed that Canada's international development assistance will continue our commitment to make international assistance focused, effective, accountable and transparent.
Canadian tax dollars will continue to deliver value for money and make a real difference in the lives of the people they are intended to help. We will continue our efforts in this direction and build on the steps that we have taken so far.

Madam Speaker, while the minister is living high on the hog, Canada is ending aid to Rwanda, Nepal, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Niger and Cambodia. Canada is delivering less and less aid where the need is greatest.
When will the government stop backsliding on foreign aid and focus on the world's poor instead of the minister's comfort?

Oral Questions

Lois Brown Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Cooperation
Madam Speaker, as I said, our government remains committed to focused, effective, accountable and transparent development that makes a real difference in the lives of the people in Africa.
The African continent continues to be Canada's largest recipient of international assistance. We are focusing 80% of the $1.1 billion in funding for maternal, newborn and child health through the Muskoka initiative in sub-Saharan Africa.
Oral Questions
11:45 a.m.
Pierre Jacob Brome—Missisquoi, QC
Madam Speaker, the closure of the Frelighsburg experimental farm is a slap in the face to Quebec fruit farmers. The Eastern Townships region has many apple producers, grape growers and berry producers.
The Government of Quebec has promised to protect the experimental farms and the work done there, but the Conservative government is completely abandoning small-scale farmers and the regions of Quebec.
My question is simple: why are the Conservatives abandoning our farmers once again?
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Pierre Lemieux Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture
Madam Speaker, this government is focused on food safety. This government is focused on our agricultural sector. We have had nothing but success, which farmers all across the country know.
When it comes to different facilities and the recent budget, combining labs and expertise will ensure that this important work is carried out in better-equipped facilities with better resources.
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Nathan Cullen Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC
Madam Speaker, recently the House stood for a moment of silence to commemorate the day of mourning for those killed and injured at work. People from all across Canada were shocked to hear about the recent tragedy on Alberta's Highway 63. Our hearts go out to those families who lost loved ones.
All Canadians benefit from the development of our natural resources and they want these industries, above all else, to be safe. The twinning of Highway 63 is needed, and the people in Fort McMurray and Alberta are rightly frustrated.
Is the government willing to offer whatever support is needed to prevent this type of tragedy from ever happening again?
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Pierre Poilievre Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transport
Madam Speaker, first of all, I would like to echo my colleague's comments. All the tragedies and all the accidents that take place on our highways are very sad, and we fully support all victims and their families.
Our government has invested in infrastructure and is achieving results. In fact, the average age of a piece of infrastructure in Canada is lower than it has been in the past 30 years.

Carolyn Bennett St. Paul's, ON
Madam Speaker, the facts are clear. The number of suicides among Canadian Forces personnel increased from 12 in 2010 to 20 lives lost last year.
An internal report describes the mental health treatment system in crisis. Despite this, the department is slashing, and 60% of the civilian health workers are losing their jobs, including PTSD specialists and suicide prevention specialists. Why?

It is renowned for its well-groomed slopes and pleasant weather – 300 sunny days a year. Briançon, the main city, is the European Union's highest, and proud home to 17th century fortifications designed by Louis XIV's military architect Vauban, whose works are designated World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The eponymous baths – two hot water springs – at Le Monetier les Bains have been in use since Roman times and are now the centerpieces of an elaborate spa complex. And Ecrins National Park – France's largest – boasts an incomparable combination of trails, vistas, wildlife, and tranquility.

Complete Works (Abridged)
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)
played to 2,100 deliriously happy patrons in September and October.
Next up: the regional premiere of "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play" inside the Dixon Gallery & Gardens beginning December 6.
Tennessee Shakespeare Company Kicks Off Fifth Season with Outrageously Fun-Loving The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)
Memphis/Germantown, Tenn. (September 4, 2012) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company (TSC), the Mid-South's professional classical theatre, presents the excessively fun-loving side of its namesake with the wildly popular stage comedy, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield from September 20 – October 7 in the Poplar Pike Playhouse in Germantown, TN.
Three comic actors from around the country come together in an attempt to present all 37 of William Shakespeare's plays (and perhaps one additional long, lost plays) in just 97 minutes.
Directed by TSC founder and producing artistic director Dan McCleary, Complete Works will donate proceeds from its three-week run to the nationally-recognized fine arts program at Germantown High School. The zaniness is sponsored by Nancy and Dan Copp, and Margaret and Owen B. Tabor, M.D. The production's exclusive media sponsor is Commercial Appeal Media.
Complete Works, playing at the Poplar Pike Playhouse (where TSC's record-setting Midsummer Night's Dream played in 2009), features actors David Goldstein (TSC's Southern Yuletide), Amelia Hammond (TSC's The Tempest), and improvisational comedian Sam Reiff-Pasarew from NYC's Story Pirates. The intrepid trio straps on the tights and color-coordinated sneakers to weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies in one wild ride that will leave you breathless and helpless with laughter.
In attempting to play out the entire canon as quickly and as authentically as they can, the actors find themselves improvising with the audience and with a little local influence: Othello as an R&B hit song, Titus Andronicus as a cooking show, all 16 comedies as one improvised commedia piece, the Histories as a Big East Conference football game, and Hamlet…backwards!
"Our audiences have experienced two seasons of TSC plays in which many of the characters have ended up dead on stage," says McCleary from the rehearsal hall, where the cast was improvising the Othello plot to Booker T. and the MG's Green Onions, "so we thought we'd just finish all the characters off in one evening. Today in rehearsal I'm pretty certain I experienced in one hour David's pants exploding when he uttered the title of the Scottish Play, Amelia pounding on Richard III's hump until he fumbled the football, and Sam playing quite possibly the largest, most unattractive Juliet in the history of American theatre. I'm so proud."
Bruce Bui, of Ballet Memphis, provides the quick-change costume design in his fourth season with the company, and Memphian Matt Strampe is the scenic and lighting designer.

Adam Long (Playwright of Complete Works) began his professional life as an accountant for an anti-nuclear political action committee by day and bassist for an acoustic punk band by night. Then he put on a skirt and wig and became a founding member of the Reduced Shakespeare Company. Adam toured with the RSC, spent five years following The Grateful Dead, performed stand-up comedy in Canada, became a Buddhist, and finally settled in England where he lives in London with wife Alex, son Joe, daughter Tilly, friend John, four guinea pigs, a fish, two tortoises, a cat, and a small grey rabbit called Willard.
Dan McCleary+ (Director) founded Tennessee Shakespeare Company, the Mid-South's professional classical theatre company, in 2008. Dan directed and acted in TSC's inaugural production of As You Like It (Jaques) and most recently The Glass Menagerie (Tom), as well as The Tempest, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, all-female Julius Caesar, Othello, and Themes from a Midsummer Night.Regional theatre directing credits: As You Like It at Orlando Shakespeare Theater, The Servant of Two Masters outdoors in downtown Atlanta and at Seattle Shakespeare Company, and All's Well That Ends Well at Georgia Shakespeare Festival.

Daniel Singer (Playwright), a native Californian, trained in London for a career as a theatrical impresario. Following the creation of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), Daniel hung up his doublet-and-hose to design theme park attractions for Walt Disney Imagineering. He's particularly proud of his work on Disneyland's Toontown. After 12 years as an Imagineer, Daniel left Disney to become a freelance bohemian; these days he restores old houses, sculpts, gardens, and continues to write plays in hopes of another hit.
Jess Winfield (Playwright of Complete Works) was an original member of the Reduced Shakespeare Company, co-author of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), and performed with the troupe from its founding in 1981 until 1992, when he realized he'd played the title role of Hamlet more times than John Gielgud and Laurence Olivier combined and suddenly felt very old. He left the troupe to write and produce animated television for the Walt Disney Company, which made him feel young again — until he'd been there for ten years, at which point he felt old again. He left Disney to write My Name Is Will — A Novel of Sex, Drugs, and Shakespeare (Twelve Books). Depicting excessive drug use and promiscuous sex by both a would-be young Shakespeare scholar in the 1980s and the 18-year old Immortal Bard himself in the 1580s made Jess feel young again; but then he and Daniel Singer revised the Complete Works in honor of its 20th anniversary and directed it in the West End, which made him feel old again.
- Join Us for Eudora Welty
- The Shakespeare Brunch is Back
- New Board Members and Officers for 2016-17
- TSC Announces Full Ninth Season
Join Us for the First Southern Literary Salon of the Season:
Eudora Welty: Mississippi Myth
January 27
We return to our popular Southern Literary Salon for a look at the ever-changing vision of the Pulitzer Prize-winning, life-long daughter of Jackson, Mississippi.
Please join us for Eudora Welty: Mississippi Myth at Nancy Copp's hidden though welcoming Germantown home on Friday, January 27 from 6:00-8:00pm.
The evening features fun Southern food, conversation, thirty minutes or so of readings from Welty's works, and a mixed spirit of the author's liking. Tickets for the Welty Salon only are $55 and include all of the above. Tickets for the Welty and Flannery O'Connor Salon (April 21), when purchased together, are only $100 (a savings of $10).
Curated and read by TSC artist Stephanie Shine, assisted by actors Dan McCleary, Jillian Barron, and Marquis Archuleta, Mississippi Myth will employ text from among Welty's works, likely including her short stories in A Curtain of Green, The Wide Net, and The Golden Apples, and the novels The Ponder Heart and award-winning The Optimist's Daughter.
Welty (1909-2011) described writing fiction as "a personal act of vision." She was widely popular as a writer and photographer from her lifelong home in Jackson, though her literary home seemed to be nestled in experimentation. Her vast skill-set ranged from comedy to tragedy, realistic to surreal, fiction to biography, fairy tale to history. Welty was recognized for her work with 40 major literary awards, 38 honorary doctorate degrees, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
"It had been startling and disappointing to me," wrote Welty, "to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming up of themselves like grass. Yet regardless of where they come from, I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them -- with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself. Still illiterate, I was ready for them, committed to all the reading I could give them ..."Read More

Directed by TSC Founder and Producing Artistic Director Dan McCleary, the adaptation will perform in the Wiener Theater on the campus of Hutchison School in East Memphis from September 20 through October 2. The play is produced in partnership with Hutchison. The cast of 20 actors features Broadway veteran Patrick Ryan Sullivan as Atticus Finch, Memphian Ainsley Geno as Scout, and the return of TSC favorite Tony Molina, Jr. as Rev. Sykes.
Early Bird tickets are on sale now for To Kill a Mockingbird: the first 24 seats sold to each performance will be located in the new Best Seats section of the theatre.
In the winter, TSC returns to Dixon Gallery & Gardens for the holiday season with an elegant, celebratory Much Ado About Nothing befitting the season of cheer. Shakespeare's romantic comedy, directed by McCleary, plays on the Winegardner Auditorium stage December 8-18.
The fun continues in early summer with Shakespeare's boisterous comedy of mistaken identities. The Comedy of Errors, produced in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, will play the U of M mainstage June 8-18, 2017.
The Southern Literary Salons return, featuring the works of Eudora Welty (Mississippi Myth) on January 27 and Flannery O'Connor (Georgia Gothic) on April 21. These literary parties in beautiful, private homes from 6:00-8:00 pm curate readings, light fare, and writer-specific libations.
Back by popular demand is The Shakespeare Brunch, featuring abbreviated, staged readings of a redemptive The Winter's Tale (November 20) and a provocative The Merchant of Venice (May 21) preceded by an expansive brunch buffet and bar. Acted by some of TSC's best-known actors, the Brunches run from 12:30-3:30 pm inside the elegant Memphis Hunt & Polo Club.
The season also includes the Eighth Annual Shakespeare Gala, bringing to Memphis a new Broadway headliner on Friday, March 10, 2017, at Germantown Performing Arts Center. The Gala, complete with lavish dinner and open bars located throughout the theatre, supports TSC's nationally-acclaimed Education Program.
This season, the Education Program significantly expands its anti-violence schools residency and performance schedule of The Romeo and Juliet Project. Nine actor/teaching-artists will work in over 20 schools, largely underserved, in Shelby County from September through February, reaching more than 6,000 students. Shakespeare's Greatest Hits, a fun 2-actor introduction to the playwright's essential scenes and soliloquies, will tour schools and theatres throughout the southeastern United States. Both productions are created and directed by TSC Education Director Stephanie Shine.
TSC's generous Mainstage title sponsors include FedEx; Dorothy O. Kirsch; Ernest, Pat, Martha, & Marian Kelly; Independent Bank; Tennessee Arts Commission; Ann and Wellford Tabor; and The University of Memphis.
TSC's season partners are Dixon Gallery & Gardens, Hutchison School, Shelby County Schools, St. George's Church, and the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance. The season is funded under a Grant Contract with the State of Tennessee.
"Our ninth season is a response both to the world's recent events and to our patrons' desires," says McCleary. "To Kill a Mockingbird is an American masterpiece of the 20th Century. It is time for each of us to pick up Harper Lee's novel and read or re-read it. In Much Ado About Nothing, we are a nation of peace at home and abroad, and in this dream we go pleasure-seeking. Still, uninhibited love is surprisingly difficult to give away in this environment, to both comedic and tragic effect. And in Comedy of Errors, famous for its physical and archetypal humor, we find ourselves in a world in which the mortal threat to immigrants cannot prevent this non-traditional family, even after years of separation, from making a heart-felt discovery.
"I am deeply grateful to our season sponsors, production partners, and over 300 donors who make professional, classical theatre and our education programming possible. The work we do with children in our schools is immediate, impactful, proven, and a powerful model for successful replication throughout the United States. We live in a time when the arts, and experiencing Shakespeare's plays, need to be at the center of our national educational curriculum, not subsisting on the fringes. They are not a luxury, they are for everyone. The works of William Shakespeare are our birthright, and if they are supported educationally and financially then we see first-hand how our children enthusiastically embrace his compassion, his poetry, and his open-hearted query of humanity."Read More

text: |It all started when the Milwaukee Brewers were visiting the Chicago White Sox on May 8th, 1984. The game was played for 17 innings and the score was tied 3-3 at the time of 12:59pm. MLB rules states that a game cannot be played after 1am in the morning. Both teams arrived the next day to finish the battle. The White Sox won 7-6 by Harold Baines hitting a game ending home run. The ending result was a 25 inning game making an 8 hour and 6 minute long baseball game.

Yeah...except that there's complications with that one. I'm not set-up to the point where I can really meet a stranger for this sort of thing. Truthfully, the only thing I can do right now is try to get out there to make friends who have the same interests as I do. I take online courses instead of attending standard public school, so I don't get to meet many kids my age (plus there's the fact that it seems like all of the schools around where I live are filled with inbred brain-dead idiots).
You could try to enroll in the public school. Its not that bad once you get used to it. Since youre already a libertarian, theres little chance to become brainwashed, and more chance to become a critic of the state.
Youll probably enjoy it at first, but youll soon hate it later on.
"Since people are concerned that 'X' will not be provided, 'X' will naturally be provided by those who are concerned by its absence.""The sweetest of minds can harbor the harshest of men."
Dude I've been in public school before. Grades PreK - 2, and Grades 4 - 6.
Hell. Absolute and utter hell.
Elementary school for me was not too bad for me. Im an immigrant, and i was really young, so half the time i was discovering a new environment.
It was utter hell around grade 7+.
You're an immigrant? Cool.
@ Anenome
I'm around 27,000 words into the book. I just checked out Literary Marketplace as a potential place to get an agent...except they require you to be 18 or older to use the site. What do you recommend I check out in order to attempt to get an agent?
Just do things the old fashioned way: research. You'll have a better result too.
Listen, there's only going to be about 50 literary agents in the world worth talking to in your genre. These are the people that lunch with publishers and know what they're looking for and thus can shop to them immediately. They're mainly in New York.
So, the thing to do is find books in your genre and then do some reasearch to find out which agent represents that author. Almost all of them do online submissions by emails these days.
Once you know your dream agent, finish your book. Do not talk to an agent before you have a finished book. Really you could look for agents after finishing the book :P
Then you'll need to learn to write a query letter, like I was telling you. Check out these query-critique sites:
A query is a literary form all to itself, so it too must be mastered. Read Queryshark from the beginning of its archive to present (like I did) and keep reading weekly, so that by the time it comes to actually write a query you'll be very familiar with them.
There's more than a few query blogs that accept model submissions, so when you're ready, write a query of your own and submit it for critique :)
Hope that helps. Be sure to mention your age in the bottom note portion of the query.
Thanks, just read a bunch of the QueryShark stuff. Honestly it's a little hard to keep track of the person's advice, so I think the thing for me would be to just write one on my own and send it to them and have it critiqued (and possibly get brutally destroyed).
Make sure you read the Checklist for submitting work to the Shark.
Oh. Crap.
Now's not the time to concern yourself with query letters. You can put that off until after you've got a book finished. Just keep writing!
Haha, yeah.
We Want Libertarian Stories (Fiction & Non-Fiction) for Book Anthology
I strongly recommend doing short stories as an exercise of craft. These people are looking for libertarian fiction and non of ~5,000 words. I'm gonna try hard to submit a piece :)
I just sent my short story off to the New Yorker. I'll be sure to make a thread about it once it gets published in that magazine or any other.
Just finished my somewhat libertarian novel. All it needs is some edits and then...poof. Time to attack the publishing side of things. The book is like a combination of Taxi Driver and Catcher in the Rye. I take out a lot of my rage on it and employ personal pessimism.
That was pretty fast man. How many hours a day do you spend writing
Eh, the time varies. It's going to come out to be a novella actually, clocked in at about 43,000 words.
May I suggest publishing short stories on the Voluntaryist Reader? This way you will get friendly feedback, allowing you to build around the strengths in order to grow characters and stories for a novel.
Eh, the time varies. It's going to come out to be a novella actually, clocked in at about 43,000 words.
Remember, true writing is re-writing. First drafts are shit.
Is your definition of re-writing going to your first draft and changing things, or completely writing the same story all over again?
Is your definition of re-writing going to your first draft and changing things, or completely writing the same story all over again?
It means improving your draft. And there are better and worse ways to go about it. I generally start with a structural refinement, scenes, etc. The final pass is at the word and sentence level for grammar and spelling and the like, once you have your plot in place and the structure finalized. (Because what's the use in working on paragraphs you might later remove.)
If you want to write fiction professionally you'll need to learn the craft of writing. I suggest joining an online writer's circle, something like Critters.org. Then start reading the classics on craft, like Lajos Egri's Art of Dramatic Writing. Starting at your age is very promising.
@ Andris Birkmanis
I would assuredly do so, notwithstanding however the datum being that the "apply here" option leads to oblivion.
My apologies, looks like gremlins ate some characters from the link... Fixed that. It should bring you to another board, which we use for organizational stuff. I'm afraid you need an account there in order to post, so maybe I have to come up with an easier way to apply. Like a thread on LvMI forums.
Okay then, done, thanks. What would you like me to write about?
Whatever is your current angle, provided it is libertarian :)
I thought you are interested in fiction, so what about taking a few libertarian and/or economic principles and demonstrating them in a short story? Or maybe just a story of a statist coming to his senses and seeing how the state destroys humanity? Like Pictures of the Socialist Future, but about the hurricane Sandy and the government's reaction to it? An enthusiastic supporter of the government's policies becomes more and more disillusioned in them, when witnessing their results firsthand.
I'm actually working on a short story now. I'll be sure to put it on The Voluntaryist Reader once I register it with the Writer's Guild.

Honoring their servicePosted Wednesday, June 1, 2011, at 9:41 AM
Few communities understand the meaning of Memorial Day as much as Mountain Home.
The vast majority of people in this community have either served themselves in the nation's armed forces or had a family member who served. Few of us have gone untouched by the demands of our nation.
When someone here offers a simple "thanks" to a servicemember, it carries with it the full recognition of the sacrifices that comes from military service. It's a simple word, one we don't use often enough, but when it comes from a member of this community it is more heartfelt than anywhere else.
We should thank, however, not just the men or women in uniform, but their families as well.
If the job our servicemembers do is difficult, it is equaled only by the stress, anxiety and need to "carry on" at home by those left behind when they deploy into dangerous war zones. The wives and children of our troops bear as great a burden, perhaps sacrifice even more, than those our nation sends into harm's way. So this week we honor all who serve, even if some aren't in uniform.

[Show in chronological order instead]
We should be a grateful nation for all of the military and their families.
It is a sorrow in my heart that the Vietnam era Veterans were treated so badly. Too little too late in some cases, we are honoring them now.

Great post.
Let's not forget the Vietnam vets. I've told far too many "Welcome home Sir, and thanks for your service." who had NEVER been told that. Today we service members ARE appreciated by most, but these folks got spit on, and almost forgotten about. Thank you ALL for what you have done.

How to guide, shape and implement organizational change in ways take into account the interactions, beliefs, attitudes, decision rules, and reward structures that cause changes in human behavior.
Download Technology Forecast 2010, Issue 1 for the complete article
Enterprise transformation is hard. It's so hard that most transformation initiatives fail to deliver full value or fail to meet time and cost targets. One major reason these initiatives fall short is that they don't take into account the interactions, beliefs, attitudes, decision rules, and reward structures that cause changes in human behavior. This article focuses on how to guide and shape organizational change in ways that do take account of these factors.
PwC's research on the success factors behind good transformation efforts has inevitably led us to models. There are many ways to define models, but for our purposes we mean the methods organizations use to simplify and address complex problems of all kinds. Enterprises know they can get more value out of their transformation efforts with the help of models, but enterprises need to use models that adequately capture how organizations actually function.
Most modeling efforts don't acknowledge that enterprises are complex adaptive systems, systems that evolve in response to complex human interactions. Lacking this perspective, these efforts fail to make room for value-creating behavior that's emergent, or unpredictable. Accurately anticipating and controlling the outcome of transformations requires that organizations model both their deterministic and emergent properties. One company that exemplifies the truth of this statement is 3M¹. The 3M example we use throughout this article focuses on the emergent property of innovation, something 3M is renowned for. But the truth is that transformation initiatives should make room for all significant emergent properties of organizations, regardless of the type of transformation effort.

Body recovered of man who jumped from Nashua-Hudson bridge

NASHUA – Chad Gagnon was watching the bobber on his fishing line after casting into the Merrimack River on Tuesday evening when big splash suddenly caught his attention.
Seconds later, a man popped to the surface, shaking the water from his face and wearing what appeared to Gagnon to be a smile.
"I thought I heard him call out a name," Gagnon, a Londonderry resident, said late Tuesday night.
But what seemed for a minute or two like a playful dive into the Merrimack on a hot summer evening turned quickly to tragedy when the man, after surfacing two more times, finally disappeared one last time.
Officials confirmed later in the evening that dive teams from Nashua and Hudson recovered a body, but his identity and additional details weren't immediately available.
That the scenario played out right in front of Gagnon left him shaken and, he said, second-guessing his actions.
"I called 911, but I keep wondering if I should have called right away," he said, adding that when he saw the man surface, he didn't appear to be in any distress.
Nashua and Hudson firefighters, police and dive team members set up command posts on their respective sides of the river soon after answering Gagnon's emergency call.
"I stayed on the line with the dispatcher, and they were there within two, maybe three minutes," he said of the two departments. "The response was impressive."
Gagnon said it seemed the man was beginning to swim toward the Hudson shore when he went down the third, and final, time.
Gagnon said he and his girlfriend met with fire officials on the Nashua side, pointing out where the man jumped and the spot where he was last seen.
The details helped rescue personnel pinpoint the best place to deploy the divers, which likely helped them locate the man's body in a relatively short time.
As he kept vigil with other onlookers atop the levee on the Nashua side, Gagnon remembered that he had heard the man count to three just before he jumped.
That, plus the fact the man resurfaced multiple times, Gagnon said, led him to believe the jump was not an attempt by the man to take his life.
"From what I could see, it didn't appear to me like it was a suicide attempt," he said, pausing to gather his thoughts.
"Man, it's powerful, when it's right there in front of you," Gagnon said quietly. "It's something you hope you never see.
"It's something I never want to see again."
