About the Book
In this riveting follow-up to The Blood Gospel, the first book in the thrilling and atmospheric Order of the Sanguine series, New York Times bestselling authors James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell deliver a tale of international adventure, intrigue, suspense, and supernatural mystery involving a modern scientist, a highly secret eternal spiritual order, and a terrifying power who must join forces to bring down a ruthless and cunning enemy and prevent the Apocalypse.
While exploring a tomb hidden for centuries in the depths of Masada, Israel, brilliant archaeologist Erin Granger began an incredible journey to recover a miraculous ancient artifact tied to Christ himself. The quest introduced her to a diabolical enemy determined to discover the book and use its powers for his own dark ends. It also led her to an ancient and highly secret Vatican order—known simply as the Saguines. Though she survived, the danger has only just begun . . .
An attack outside Stanford University thrusts Erin back into the fold of the Sanguines. As the threat of Armageddon looms, she must unite with an ancient evil to halt the plans of a man determined to see the world end, a man known only as Iscariot.
In a masterwork of international adventure, supernatural mystery, and apocalyptic prophecy, New York Times bestselling authors James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell open the next chapter in a world of shadow and light, of salvation and damnation, where the fate of the heavens is locked within a child of . . . Innocent Blood
A vicious attack at a ranch in California thrusts archaeologist Erin Granger back into the fold of the Sanguines, an immortal order founded on the blood of Christ and tasked with protecting the world from the beasts haunting its shadows and waiting to break free into the sunlight. Following the prophetic words found in the Blood Gospel—a tome written by Christ and lost for centuries—Erin must again join forces with Army Sergeant Jordan Stone and the dark mystery that is Father Rhun Korza to discover and protect a boy believed to be an angel given flesh.
But an enigmatic enemy of immense power and terrifying ambition seeks the same child—not to save the world, but to hasten its destruction. For any chance of victory, Erin must discover the truth behind Christ's early years and understand His first true miracle, an event wrapped in sin and destruction, an act that yet remains unfulfilled and holds the only hope for the world.
The search for the truth will take Erin and the others across centuries and around the world, from the dusty plains of the Holy Land to the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean, from the catacombs of Rome to an iron fortress in the Mediterranean Sea, and at last to the very gates of Hell itself, where their destiny—and the fate of humankind—awaits.
With The Blood Gospel, the first novel in the Order of the Sanguines series, James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell breathtakingly combined science, myth, and religion and introduced a world where miracles hold new meaning and the fight for good over evil is far more complicated than we ever dreamed. In Innocent Blood they again take us to the edge of destruction . . . and into the deepest reaches of the imagination.

Thanks. I know the animation is a bit rough going at times, but think of it as an animted comic, like those old Marvel cartoons from the 60's. Plus, with time constraints....well, it's hard to churn out singehandedly. Thanks for the vote, though!!

I am offering an absolutely beautiful statue that I believe is described as bronze over spelter. It is a statue of Mignon by world famous Luca Madrassi, (1848-1916). Beneath her right foot, within a banner is her name, "MIGNON", and beneath her left foot is the "Madrassi" signature. She is wearing a fringed cape or shawl and is holding a mandolin while standing next to a tree stump. This particular work was probably one of Madrassi's later ones, as I believe it is attributed to t...

It measures 8 ¾" x 8 ¾" to the tip of stairs at the bottom, and stands right at 4 3/8" tall...

Santa prepares with a zumba workout
10:00am Tuesday 9th October 2012 in News
SANTA found his Latino roots in Oxford yesterday as he took part in a zumba workout.
As part of the launch of Helen & Douglas House's sixth Santas on the Run Christmas fundraising event, Zumba instructors were at the Westgate Shopping Centre in Santa suits.People were encouraged to join in and dance their way to fitness in preparation for the annual fun run, which this year takes place on Sunday, December 9.
From left are zumba instructor Vicky Hahn, Annaliese Taylor, organiser Poppy Hanbury, Avelina Hahn and Kate Sankey.
Ms Hanbury said: "We had a lot of people looking on.
"We thought about what would get people to stop.
"Lots of children did ask us why Santa was doing zumba.
"We sold out last year so we want people to sign up as soon as possible so they don't miss out."

Fifty-three teams are preparing for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Urban Challenge, a $2 million military-sponsored race of autonomous vehicles on city roads that's set for November 3.
The month of June is crucial for contestants because DARPA is making the rounds for so-called site visits, prequalification meetings in which the military's research and development arm plans to evaluate each team's viability to compete.
New to the DARPA Challenge this year, the Arizona team "A Bunch of Dropouts," (pictured here) is likely the only outfit running out of a remote 75-acre workshop powered by solar panels. It's also an easy bet that the Dropouts--named because they're led by now-grown high-school dropouts--will have the one and only race contender that's a 1941 Dodge Power Wagon painted like the American flag.

After passing over the two previous DARPA competitions, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an academic stalwart in computer science and robotics, will try to play catch-up to race veterans like Stanford University this year, according to John Leonard, one of the team's leaders.
MIT joins the challenge with support from the university, Quanta Computer, Draper Laboratory and Ford Motor, which donated a Land Rover LR3 to the cause.

Opening The High Line After A Snowfall
An inside look at what it takes to prepare the High Line to open after heavy snowfall and icy storms.
Jump to navigation
An inside look at what it takes to prepare the High Line to open after heavy snowfall and icy storms.
On Wednesday, September 29, Friends of the High Line presented Autumn Crossing, a free open-air performance by dance artist Naomi Goldberg Haas, her dance company, Dances For A Variable Population, and senior citizens from Hudson Guild, a multi-service agency that provides programs and services to seniors and other residents of the Chelsea community.
In the early spring, the High Line gardeners cut back the previous growing season's perennials and grasses to make room for new growth. The entire process is called High Line Green-Up, and it takes place every year as soon as the temperature starts to warm up.
In spring, 2011, the second section of the High Line, from West 20th to West 30th Street, will open to the public, doubling the length of the park.
Section 2 has new design features, including the High Line's first lawn, a steel walkway that rises 8 feet above the High Line level, and a wildflower field, among others.
Read more about the design of the High Line on our Web site: http://www.thehighline.org/design/high-line-design
Friends of the High Line, Hudson Guild, and Youth Step USA are pleased to present Step to the High Line, a week-long festival of step performances on the High Line. Step is a form of creative expression that celebrates the power and energy of youth through synchronized stomping, clapping, calling, and other sounds.

This year's edition of Spectacular Slovakia also contains an exclusive photo-story entitled " Hidden in the Middle " by Chris Steele-Perkins – member of the prestigious photographic agency Magnum Photos and holder of several international awards. Mr Steele-Perkins, British photographer of world renown, can through his lens - usually in a single shot - capture more vitality, mystery and depth than could be contained in thousands of words. Perkins' story is followed by a feature section focusing on spas, golf courts, castles, caves and more.
In this year's Spectacular Slovakia we have chosen a new approach to guide you around the country's most interesting tourist sites. Rather than follow the official administrative divisions of Slovakia – which splits the country into eight self-govering regions – we have created 18 tourism "hubs" or bases. These each have considerable tourism potential, featuring various spas, wellness centres, golf courses and other tourist attractions. They are as follows:
The travel guide, published by The Slovak Spectator for the 2012-2013 season, has a new reader-friendly design (sample pages) and its team of 31 authors and contributors covers a wide range of tourist sites - from the most familiar spots like Vysoké Tatry (High Tatras), Košice and Bratislava to unique and little-known hideaways such as Modrová or Kulháň.
Contents: Spectacular Slovakia 2012/2013
Amongst other benefits, this publication brings you detailed information, opening hours and full contact details for lodging, restaurants, attractions, castles, spas, ski resorts, aquaparks, caves and golf resorts. Spectacular Slovakia will be your essential guide to enjoying your stay in Slovakia.

The workplace is a competitive landscape but with the ability to add a dual degree or second degree to your resume you will have no worries navigating your way to a great career.
The Dual Degree and Second Degree Programs allow students to complete degrees from two different Faculties or Schools at Queen's University. The program combines a primary or full-time degree program in the Queen's School of Business, Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering or the School of Nursing, with a degree program in the Faculty of Arts and Science.
A Dual Degree allows Queen's Commerce, Applied Science and Nursing students to complete an Arts and Science General degree (only) concurrently as they are working towards the completion of their primary degree in their home Faculty/School.
The general admission requirements are below. Students must meet all of the criteria. Please note departmental admission averages may exceed these requirements:
Applicants may apply for a Dual Degree program for a Fall, Winter or Summer start through Undergraduate Admission. The application requirements and process are described on the Undergraduate Admission webpage.
Please note: students are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. That is, students who apply for the Fall term are considered and may be accepted in advance of students who apply for the Winter and Summer terms. There is a defined capacity in each degree Plan for each academic year and spaces may be taken before the Winter or Summer application periods. The Faculty has limited capacity to accommodate Dual Degree students, and only accepts candidates into dual degree combinations that are academically viable. To ensure the academic integrity of the Dual Degree Program the Faculty Office, in consultation with the Department(s) concerned, approves combinations to ensure that there is minimal overlap in course content.
Each student's Dual Degree Program consists of three types of units: shared, primary and secondary. In addition, Dual Degree students must meet the unit requirements of the Arts and Science Plan in which they are registered. All secondary units must be completed at the Faculty of Arts and Science at Queen's University. They may not be transferred from another post-secondary institution or from the primary Faculty or School at Queen's. Dual Degree students must register all secondary units with the Faculty of Arts and Science and pay the appropriate fees.
Students may count a maximum of 60.0 shared units towards both Degree Programs. Shared units include those normally acceptable for credit in the Faculty of Arts and Science. Shared units may count towards the Arts and Science Plan.
In addition to the shared units, students must complete further primary units to reach the minimum overall total required for the primary Degree Program. All class and degree requirements for the primary program must be completed according to the regulations of that Faculty or School.
In addition to the shared units, students must complete a further 30.0 secondary units to reach the minimum overall total required for the secondary, Arts and Science, Degree Program. All secondary units must be completed at the Faculty of Arts and Science at Queen's University. They may not be transferred from another post-secondary institution or from the primary Faculty or School at Queen's. Dual Degree students must register all secondary units with the Faculty of Arts and Science and pay the appropriate fees.
All class and degree requirements for the secondary program must be completed according to the regulations of the Faculty of Arts and Science. Secondary units may count towards the Arts and Science Plan.
The Second Degree Program allows the holder of an undergraduate degree from Queen's or from another university to complete a second undergraduate degree in the Faculty of Arts and Science, subject to the Arts and Science either on-campus or through distance studies.
Two requirements must each be met for a student to pursue a Second Degree. First, the desired second degree Plan must have capacity to accept students. Second, the combination of the first and second degree Plans must be academically viable, meaning the two degree Plans are significantly different.
Applicants must apply through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) for admission to on-campus study to the Faculty of Arts and Science. See Undergraduate Admission for more details. Applicants must meet the Faculty minimums and satisfy appropriate departmental criteria that may exceed these minimums. Enrolment limitations or lack of prerequisites may result in the denial of an admission.
On-campus and Distance degree Plans with capacity to accept Second Degree applicants for the 2014-2015 academic year are listed below. If a degree Plan is not listed, it is at capacity and cannot accept Second Degree applicants. Degree Plans with limited space (5-10 spots) are in BOLD. Programs with higher than standard admission averages are in italics. Distance degree Plans and 3-year degrees are listed in Red. Students admitted to Distance Studies are limited to distance courses and distance degree Plans.
To inquire about specific admission requirements, contact Undergraduate Admission for on-campus admission and Continuing and Distance Studies for distance campus admission.

The links below provide charts of second degree combinations. The first column lists the first degree Plan of the degree the student has or about to complete. The second column, Allowed Programs and Plans, list second degree combinations that have been assessed as academically viable because of the low degree of overlap between the first degree program and the specific Arts and Science Plan. The third column, Disallowed Programs and Plans, lists the second degree combinations that are not academically viable due to significant overlap between the first degree program and the specific Faculty of Arts and Science Plan.Applicants whose first degree is from the Faculty of Arts and Science at Queen'smust have graduated in good standing and satisfy departmental criteria. (Students who wish to pursue a Second Degree in the B.F.A. (Hons.) or B.MUS programs must also meet specialized entry requirements.)
Applicants whose first degree is from another Faculty or School at Queen's must have graduated in good standing and have a minimum Cumulative GPA of 2.6 for Full-time admission or 1.90 for Part-time admission. Note that some departmental criteria may exceed these minimums.
Applicants who first degree is from another university must have the equivalent of a minimum Queen's Cumulative GPA of 2.6 for most Plans to be considered for Full-time admission, and 2.60 for Part-time admission to most Plans. In addition, they must also satisfy departmental criteria that may exceed these minimum. In all cases, admission to a Second Degree is only possible when the applicant's first degree is from an accredited post-secondary institution and in a substantially different Plan from the proposed Second Degree.

Essential Cinema
The Academy partnered with the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on a special "Vertigo" section that was part of the Essential Cinema exhibition, TIFF's inaugural show at its new home, TIFF Bell Lightbox. The exhibition was inspired by the Essential 100, TIFF's list of the most influential films of all time based on TIFF expert and audience votes. The "Vertigo" section, with materials pulled from the Academy's own Margaret Herrick Library, explored the creative process behind the 1958 Alfred Hitchcock thriller with items ranging from costume designs to Saul Bass's iconic title sequence.
Additional collection items relating to other films on the Essential 100 list were also lent by the Academy.

Kkasjnasdksjadn gosh no no, you could do a million times better than I ever could! Thank you so much though oh my gosh jfc ksnaksdn ;0; < 3
I had a ton of Karkat pins left after the meetup since half of the people that were supposed to come didn't and they sent me twice the amount of pins I needed by mistake.
Since I have 60, I'm giving away 30 pairs (2 pins per winner); along with one sketch request (because just pins seems kind of not enough).
The pins mesure about 2.2 cm in diameter and I can take any request for the sketch. It's gonna be drawn in pen.
Here are the rules:
- Likes count;
- Reblog as many times as you'd like (I honestly just want to get rid of them);
- Yeah, I don't care, just help me get rid of these.
I ship anywhere. Seriously. This is, like, nothing so the shipping will be cheap.
Ends the 21st of April.
After I gave Ella a noogie and we had a bit of a wrestle she asked me to draw John and Casey

'No? That doesn't make sense, you have to have come from somewhere.
Oh! Wait, don't tell me you were born at the bottom of the sea?'
Remember when my sister did a Homestuck according to?
Well, this time, I gave her all the kid and troll charecters, and asked whom (based solely on what they looked like) should get into a relationship with who.
The results were…this.

DENVER -- The Denver Nuggets will be without versatile forward Danilo Gallinari for the rest of the season after tests Friday showed he tore his left ACL against Dallas the previous night.
The team said an MRI showed no other signs of ligament or meniscus damage, adding Gallinari will have season-ending surgery soon and "a prognosis for a full recovery is excellent."
"We're extremely disappointed for Gallo. He was having a career year in scoring and rebounding and was a huge reason for our success," said Masai Ujiri, Nuggets executive vice-president of basketball operations. "We will obviously support him and be there for him throughout his recovery.
"Knowing his work ethic and commitment to getting back on the floor, we are confident he will come back stronger than ever next season."
Gallinari planted his left leg awkwardly while going for a layup in the first half of Denver's 95-94 win Thursday night, its 19th straight at home. His knee buckled and he went down, screaming in pain.
The Nuggets sent him for an MRI on Friday and it confirmed their fears of a serious injury that will require a long rehabilitation.
The 24-year-old Italian forward averaged 16.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 71 games this season for Denver, which has clinched a playoff berth.
Acquired from the New York Knicks in the blockbuster trade of Carmelo Anthony two years ago, Gallinari signed a four-year, $42 million extension last season.
Gallinari is the Nuggets' second-leading scorer, and their top scorer, Ty Lawson (16.7) is out indefinitely with a torn right heel.
The Nuggets were off Friday following games on back-to-back nights, one in Salt Lake City. But Gallinari's coach and teammates were steeling themselves for the bad news after the game.
"I can't deny it didn't look good," coach George Karl said. "I usually look at the player's face and he was scared."
The Nuggets' deep roster will be tested now over the stretch run and in the playoffs.
"You never want to see anybody go down but especially a guy like Gallo that's so important to us," said Corey Brewer, who replaced Gallinari and finished with a game-high 23 points. Brewer made three big plays in the final minute to move the Nuggets within one win of tying their franchise-best 20-game home winning streak set in 1984-85.
"It's going to be tough on us," Brewer said, "but we've got to just keep playing hard."
Gallinari's left knee buckled inward as he drove past Dirk Nowitzki and Darren Collison to the basket for a layup. He gave up the ball, grabbed his left knee and hopped out of bounds, where he sat down, screaming in pain as Collison scored at the other end for Dallas.
Gallinari was helped off the court by reserves Timofey Mozgov and Quincy Miller. After a few halting steps, he was seated in a wheelchair and whisked away. He left the arena on crutches.
The Nuggets, who haven't lost at home since Jan. 18 against Washington, are third in the Western Conference in their quest for home-court advantage in the first round of the NBA playoffs, a task that will be harder without Gallinari.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

Special Report - Project Zomboid
This article originally appeared in PC Gamer UK issue 231. Yesterday, a burglary at The Indie Stone HQ lost the team two vital laptops that have delayed the latest patch, but Project Zomboid has endured many dramas before then, here's the story so far...
Project Zomboid is a great game born from a passion for zombie fiction, piracy, panic and corporate generosity. Of all the drama indie devs face, little comes close to the police breaking into your flat because a car is about to explode.
Chris Simpson is one sixth of The Indie Stone, the team behind the free-roaming isometric zombie shooter that's about narrative, not headcounts. He explains his game: "We've tried to turn the genre towards the survival aspect and away from the focus on combat. It's not just about seeing how many zombies you can kill. It's holding up in a house, going on raiding missions, trying to trade with NPCs and making friends. It's dealing with trust issues between people. This is the ultimate plan, seeing as it's currently a Minecraft-style alpha tech demo." His partner in crime, Andy Hodgetts, elaborates: "Basically if you've ever read World War Z or the The Zombie Survival Guide or I Am Legend you've read the blueprint of the game."
Things didn't go smoothly for the fledgling developer. The team were forced into releasing a 'pre-alpha tech demo' state to avoid eviction from their Hartlepool homes. "We thought we could scrape up enough cash for rent by borrowing money from our parents and announcing the game early," Andy says. "We had a couple of screenshots, a bit of text, and some bullet-pointed plans. "We were taking shifts through the night to try and get the tech demo ready. We'd be doing it together for a bit, then I'd grab a few hours sleep, then Chris would carry on. We'd gone to bed at six in the morning. A few hours later we were rudely awoken by a policeman looming over our beds. He said, 'You've got to get out man!' We were like, 'What the hell?'"
An uncannily familiar sight for the apocalypse enthusiasts followed. "The thing is we were basically the last people to be evacuated from the building, so when we walked out it was like the opening scene from 28 Days Later. There was like nobody around and police vans and police tape everywhere and it was like, 'Oh my God, what the hell's going on?'"
A car bomb had been left outside the developer's flat. It eventually exploded, killing a 58-year old man. But the team resisted any free publicity and, although mainstream media journalists pestered the team for the name of their game, they refused to give any details. "We felt it would be a bit tacky to try and capitalise," says Chris.
Such tactics weren't required anyway – the PC gaming community came to The Indie Stone's rescue, purchasing pre-orders in droves, and Andy is still grateful: "We woke up that day scared about rent, but we went to bed with two months of development time in the bag, along with our rent and living costs sorted."
Will Porter, The Indie Stone's writer and PR-type figure, and former PC Zone editor, offers his theory on the community's passion so early in development: "We're making it for the traditional PC gamer. A lot of people see their first screenshot and say, 'Bloody hell that looks just like X-Com'. They assume it's going to be turn based because of our old school visuals and those sorts of sensibilities. I think that's what a PC audience really likes."
They were making money from the pre-alpha tech build of Project Zomboid. Enough to cause new problems. Chris is honest about the team's early naivety: "We know how to make games, but we are not born businessmen. We didn't pay close attention to terms and conditions in PayPal or Google Checkout."
The Indie Stone were selling preorders for a game that didn't exist yet, and PayPal and Google Checkout didn't like that. "Notch had the same problem," admits Chris. If a lot of people buy the game then we get hit by a bus, PayPal would be liable for the refunds. God bless 'em, a lot of people came to our defence and called out the companies for being evil, but I guess they were only protecting their own interests."
The team needed a quick fix. One came just in time. To avoid legal issues, The Indie Stone bundled their early Project Zomboid build with what Andy describes as "the world's worst games." We thought, OK, we'll sell products that do exist and the PZ licence will just be a freebie!" Chris wrote a Rock Paper Scissors console application and sold it for £15.
It was a messy situation. I asked Andy whether the Minecraft model (where initial pre-orders fund early development) is a necessity for today's indie developers: "The reason we're doing indie stuff is that we don't like the separation between studio and players," he says. "It's an impenetrable wall. When we first decided to do an indie we wanted to have absolute communication. We said we'd have a Twitter account, a forum and an IRC chat; anything we could do to make people feel part of the game they were funding."
And it's worked. Although the game is still far from final release, there are already fan fiction sites, a dedicated wiki and YouTube tutorials on how to play the soundtrack on piano. A cult following has begun.
But some people still aren't happy about the funding part. Pirate copies of Project Zomboid ended up online. The team were using a cloud service to host their patching process and getting charged every time a player received an update or installed the game. Pirates were not only stealing Project Zomboid, they were driving The Indie Stone into bankruptcy.
Then, in July this year, a troup of digital distribution knights in shinning armour appeared. The team received offers of support from Steam, indie and mod download portal Desura and the digital distribution service FilePlanet. "In the case of Steam, we're getting all their perks apart from being on the store, and it's all via redeem code," says Chris. "We get to use their servers, we get to update and we get to be in their library.
"As far as I can see they're not getting a penny from this. Perhaps it's in preparation for when we do get on Steam, but they're doing us a huge favour." Desura and FilePlanet also made similar offers to help the team, solidifying their base infrastructure for future updates.

Children in Albemarle County got to make art masterpieces Saturday with a unique material - pop tabs.
Dozens of kids created pop art at the Bounce-N-Play in the Seminole Square Shopping Center. Their pieces will be entered into the second pop art contest at Charlottesville's Ronald McDonald House.
The nonprofit says it's great to see projects by children helping other children.
"Pop tabs have traditionally been associated with Ronald McDonald houses as a fundraiser," said Candace Schoner, Pop Art chair. "But what we do is we recycle the pop tabs at the house and we get 25 cents, 30 cents per pound. Last year, we thought let's do something a little more creative to raise funds for the house and we came up with the pop art contest."
The deadline to enter art is April 20.

Berry Gordy 's Motown: The Musical , the Broadway show that traces the music mogul's life and celebrates the artists who recorded for his renowned label, gets its official opening on Sunday at New York City's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. As you'd expect, the musical is packed with classic songs by the likes of Stevie Wonder , Diana Ross and The Supremes , Smokey Robinson and the Miracles , Marvin Gaye , The Jackson 5 , The Temptations and more.
Beyond the great music, Gordy says he hopes the play sets the record straight with regard to some of the negative rumors about the way he ran Motown and his treatment of the artists.
"It's wonderful for me to write for the fans the truth," he tells ABC News Radio, "'cause I appreciate so much the people around the world who love Motown and believe in Motown and lived Motown." Gordy adds that he hopes the play shows "that a black kid could do a Motown without being a crook or in the mafia or this or that -- which is what I was painted as for many years."
Berry says that one of the things he's enjoying most about the production is watching the talented cast of actors who play him and the various Motown stars. "I have this opportunity to work with this incredible cast of people who, in many cases, know more about me and Motown than I remember," he explains.
Gordy says he's particularly impressed by the by the three actors who are portraying him at various stages in his life. "It's fascinating," he notes, "'cause the people that are doing me are doing me better than me."
Meanwhile, Brandon Victor Dixon , who plays the adult Gordy, says Berry has been very supportive of him throughout the process of developing his character.
"We gained a level of trust pretty early on," he reveals. "He trusts me as an actor, and he also trusts my intelligence, as far as how I look at the show as a whole."
Dixon adds, "It's funny, the more we get into to it the more like him I become. Because that's exactly how he is: Berry's always looking at the whole picture."
Then there's Valisia LeKae , who plays Diana Ross. She tells ABC News Radio that she thinks the legendary diva, who had a long love affair with Berry, will appreciate the way he depicted their relationship.
"I think Mr. Gordy has told a beautiful story about the two of them as well as Motown," says the actress. "I think she will be happy."
To find out more about the production, visit MotownTheMusical.com . Tickets are on sale for performances through March 14, 2014.

STEP 6 (On the left side): I then applied Awapuhi hydro whip and blow-dried the hair using a flat wrapping technique. I refined with scissor over comb technique. With the tips of my scissors, I carved out the outline by following the hairline. I then cut a square line from the hairline to the center of the ear with the extra length I created from the earlier over direction.
STEP 7 (On the right side): "I repeated the steps from the first side, insuring balance with the initial horizontal guide. I over directed everything up and to the first section working down to my disconnection. Upon completion of the blow dry, I then refined the disconnection with pointing and slicing techniques.
STEP 8 (The top): "Take a center parting from the crown parting to the front hairline. Cut a line working short to long connecting the back to the top. Take parallel sections and over direct all sections to the middle guideline. Apply Awapuhi hydro whip and wrap dry. I cut the fringe by over directing the hair to the left to create length to the right. I refined with pointing and slicing techniques. Mold the hair, as you like."
THE COLOR: Joico color used.
STEP 1: Pre-treat the hair with Joico Kealating, a pre-cleansing shampoo.
STEP 2: Equalize the porosity using Joico deep treatment conditioner.
STEP 3: Start with three horseshoe sections. For the bottom section, use 1oz of 4FV Vero color plus 20 volume.
STEP 4: Middle section: Use 1oz of 5RR +1 oz of 6RR + two inches of INRV plus 20 volume Vero Color Developer. Top horseshoe: 1 oz of 8RG plus 7RC and three inches of INO plus two inches of ING plus 20 volume. Disconnected piece in the back: three vertical sections. Beginning on the left side, use formula #1, middle formula #2 and right side formula #3. Process for 35 minutes for all sections.
STEP 5: After the color process, use a Joico KPac color sealer for five minutes. Then, condition with KPAC deep treatment therapy.

Please add zero stars to the choices.
The photographic angle, perhaps, makes these look like a collection of irons with a small ironing board.
Please add four stars to the choices.
I'm glad you included the photo of you working on the lamps...they are much bigger than I thought from the first photos, which I LOVE!!!! Love the reflective surface, love the angles, just love in general. I guess people who don't appreciate these are probably buying a lot of ceramic chicken and teapot lamps...and they are welcome to them.
I like the picture of them suspended- nice design!

Let's call it a love affair. It's the responsibility of the current generation of business people, parents, politicians and teachers to make certain that the future is positively paved for the children of our time. Here in Colorado Springs, there may be no more direct way for these torch bearers to express this commitment than the annual Celebrate Youth in the Arts Breakfast on Thursday, Feb. 14, from 7:30-8:30 am.
"This is the seventh year we're holding this event," said Marcia Hendricks, Executive Director of the Colorado Springs Children's Chorale. "It's powerful on many levels. Members of our community who attend become completely present to the great work that's being done through the arts to develop the creativity, confidence and problem solving abilities of our children. We're also able to raise vital dollars for operating expenses of two stalwart organizations that are on the frontline of providing these tools to our children."
Joining the Children's Chorale in presenting the Youth in the Arts Breakfast is the Colorado Springs Youth Symphony Association. Each organization will educate attendees on their mission and the children themselves will share their art and passion—an inspirational way to begin Valentine's Day.
"There's really nothing quite like it," said Debi Krause-Reinsch, Executive Director of the Youth Symphony. "In no more than one hour, we make sure our guests are well fed, entertained and inspired to contribute what they can to help keep the great work of all three organizations thriving."
The host for the festivities will be KKTV's Jen Lennon who can be seen in the ongoing "Moms Everyday" featurettes. Lennon is herself an alumna of the Colorado Springs Children's Chorale and spent most of her childhood growing up in the Pikes Peak Region arts community. Inspired by her experiences growing up, she went on to earn a B.S. in Performance and an M.S. in Education from Northwestern University. Now back in the Springs, she continues to work with youth in the Children's Chorale as well as local schools and remains active as an actress primarily at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center.
"It's so exciting for me to be able to give back to these great organizations," said Lennon. "It's so great to be able to make a difference in the lives of these amazing kids."
While the administrative arm of these groups plans and executes the Breakfast with precision, It is the children themselves who are the "stars" of the event. The Youth Symphony's top orchestra will be on hand to demonstrate the excellence inherent to that organization. All five ensembles of the Children's Chorale will make certain that everyone has direct contact with a performer.
Over 350 people have attended each Breakfast in the past six years. Invitations have come exclusively from table "captains" to their friends family, and business associates. The general public is welcome to attend but by reservation only.
"It's been a groundbreaking season for both organizations and recognition has been widespread in the community and the media," said Hendricks. "We've all received the message that the Pikes Peak region wants our organizations to survive and thrive. So we're opening up attendance to Celebrate Youth in the Arts so that other people not directly connected to us can get a detailed look as to why and how we do what we do."
For information on how to attend the Celebrate Youth in the Arts Annual Breakfast, please contact the Colorado Springs Children's Chorale at 719-633-3562 or firstname.lastname@example.com. When you make your reservation you will be given the location and directions. Only those with reservations may attend.

Stocks fall on unexpected job cuts
US companies shed 39,000 jobs in September. Investors speculate the Fed might take steps to boost the economy. General Electric plans to buy Dresser for $3 billion.
By Melinda Peer, TheStreet
Updated at 1:25 p.m. ET
Stocks were falling Wednesday after American companies expectedly cut jobs in September, raising concerns about the economy.
At 1:25 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) was down by 20 points, or 0.2%, at 10,925. The S&P 500 ($INX) was down by 5.3 points, or 0.5%, at 1,155. The Nasdaq ($COMPX) was losing 30 points, or 1.3%, to 2,370.
U.S. companies shed 39,000 positions in September after adding 10,000 in August, Automatic Data Processing (ADP) said. Economists had expected to see an increase of 18,000, according to Briefing.com. The decline followed seven months of job gains.
"There is simply no momentum in employment," ADP said. The government will release jobs data for September on Friday.
Planned layoffs rose slightly in September, according to a report by global outplacement consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas. During the month, employers announced plans to cut 37,151 jobs, representing a 7% increase from planned reductions in August.
"Personal income levels in August were buoyed by the extension of unemployment benefits which had otherwise expired," said Jim Baird, chief investment strategist for Plante Moran Financial Advisors. "Take that away, and inflation-adjusted personal income growth has been virtually non-existent in the past three months."
The prospect of additional funding from the Fed was pressuring the dollar on Wednesday, with the dollar index down by 0.5%. Speculation about quantitative easing gained steam after the Bank of Japan cut its key interest rate almost to zero Tuesday.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner took aim at China's currency when he warned Wednesday that large economies with undervalued exchange rates risk could create asset bubbles in emerging economies or dismal consumption growth, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The International Monetary Fund said the U.S. economy will grow 2.6% in 2010 and 2.3% in 2011, according to the IMF's World Economic Outlook, which was released on Wednesday. Those forecasts were reduced from July's estimates for growth of 3.3% in 2010 and 2.9% in 2011.
General Electric (GE) was best-performing stock on the Dow, rising 2.7% to $16.96. The company agreed to buy Dresser, a company that makes gear for oil fields, for $3 billion.
Alcoa (AA), which reports third-quarter earnings tomorrow, was also gaining 2% at $12.40. AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) were the benchmark's biggest losers, falling more than 2%.
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) said it will acquire the Dutch biotechnology company Crucell (CRXL) for $2.43 billion. Johnson & Johnson shares were rising 0.1% to $62.84, while Crucell's American depositary receipts were up 0.8% at $34.10.
Shares of Costco Wholesale (COST) were slipping 2.6% to $63 after the company's quarterly sales fell short of estimates. Sales rose 8% to $23.59 billion but fell short of revenue estimates for $24.23 billion.
3M (MMM) is allowed to move forward on its $943 million purchase of fingerprint-identification company Cogent (COGT) after a judge refused Cogent shareholders' requests for an injunction to prevent the deal in favor of an offer from NEC, according to Bloomberg. 3M's stock was down 0.1% at $88.80, and Cogent's stock was losing 1.4% to $10.58.
Late Tuesday, Allied Irish Bank (AIB) announced its decision to sell its $2.2 billion stake in M&T Bank (MTB) through a public offering, a move that puts an end to any deal speculation, according to an analyst. Allied Irish's stock was declining by 3% to $1.30 and M&T's stock was losing 6% to $78.09.
