Little Womenby Louisa May Alcott
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Little Women is one of the best loved books of all time. Lovely Meg, talented Jo, frail Beth, spoiled Amy: these are hard lessons of poverty and of growing up in New England during the Civil War. Through their dreams, plays, pranks, letters, illnesses, and courtships, women of all ages have become a part of this remarkable family and have felt the deep sadness when Meg leaves the circle of sisters to be married at the end of Part I. Part II, chronicles Meg's joys and mishaps as a young wife and mother, Jo's struggle to become a writer, Beth's tragedy, and Amy's artistic pursuits and unexpected romance. Based on Louise May Alcott's childhood, this lively portrait of nineteenth-century family life possesses a lasting vitality that has endeared it to generations of readers.
From the Paperback edition.
The four March sisters--Meg, Amy, Beth, and feisty Jo--share the joys and sorrows of growing up while their father is away at war. The family is poor in worldly goods, but rich in love and character.

Fiona Apple is an ignorant fool who should stop criticizing law enforcement and "just shut up and sing" ... this according to the spokesman for the Hudspeth County Sheriff's Dept.
HCSD Public Information Officer Rusty Fleming is firing back at the singer after she publicly blasted 4 officers for allegedly mistreating her during her arrest for possession of hash and marijuana at a Texas border patrol stop last week. In a rambling statement at her concert following the bust, Apple had threatened to make the cops "f*cking famous" as a punishment for their inappropriate actions.
Fleming has personally responded to the accusations with a letter to Apple ... and it's AWESOME.
It starts off ... "First, Honey, I'm already more famous than you, I don't need your help. However, it would appear that you need mine."
The letter continues, "Two weeks ago nobody in the country cared about what you had to say, -- now that you've been arrested it appears your entire career has been jump-started. Don't worry Sweetie, I won't bill you."
"Next, have you ever heard of Snoop, Willie or Armand Hammer? Maybe if you would read something besides your own press releases, you would have known BEFORE you got here, that if you come to Texas with dope, the cops will take your DOPE away and put YOU in jail."
"Even though you and I only met briefly in the hallway, I don't know you but I'm sure you're an awesome and talented young woman and even though I'm not a fan of yours, I am sure there are thousands of them out there, and I'm sure that they would just as soon you get this all behind you and let you go back to what you do best—so my last piece of advice is simple "just shut-up and sing."
Rusty Fleming"
Rusty called in to "TMZ Live" today where he continued to put Fiona on blast.
said Rusty Fleming, a volunteer public information officer for the sheriff's department in rural, sparsely populated Hudspeth County. https://www.facebook.com/rustyfleming1
said Rusty Fleming, a volunteer public information officer for the sheriff's department in rural, sparsely populated Hudspeth County.
That guy needs to shut up and do his job. Where is his boss? There is nothing anywhere that makes it right, or legal, for him to publicly degrade a member of the public. Especially one that has an active case that has not been settled. This guy is a bully with a badge. Unprofessional and unintelligent.
Everyone talks **** about the police dept. after being arrested. Does this ass hat follow up on all the other jail birds once they're released? Of course not! This fame whore just wants his 2minutes in the limelight. I just wonder if he's related to Sheriff Joe! I mean come on! He wrote his little letter and now he's doing press? Go the F back to your nonexistent life already.
I say **** the police, thats how i treat'em.
I really hate this god damn pig. More than i should probably
Sweet. All 5 of the "famous" Rusty Fleming's friends on facebook are trolling the page. Weird that I live in Texas and have never heard of him.
" Just shut up and sing" is a line in The Dixie chicks song... And it's about guess who? Someone from Texas.
Fiona just a helpful FYI. I'd suggest you make sure you don't have any dope in your car when you go to Texas to file your complaint. Something tells me they don't provide quantity (of arrest) discounts. BTW Texas appreciates your business to support it's continued busting of ignorant California fools.
She should have waited until this case was over legally before she made those comments. Texas is a ******* state and she should be careful. i would not trust that state.
Thank you Redneck Rusty for bringing yet more attention to your sick fixation on marijuana. The more retarded you and your Dukes of Hazard pals act about it, the closer we get to decriminalizing it.
Totally unethical for this guy to say this. Personal feelings and ethics should never come into play. If that's the way he feels, fine he's human and he's allowed to feel that way but to make a personal note to someone as an official spokesman of a civil office is unethical. Besides that he came off as petty and immature.
Your tax dollars at work.
Fiona, you might as well get used to redneck cracker justice when you come through this Republican hellhole, otherwise known as Texas.
This is the state where white redneck men still think they hung the moon and are accustomed to 'hanging' anything that doesn't agree with their regressive politics and skin color.
He looks like a rodeo clown and expresses himself like a donkey. Congrats on coming out as a douche bag. She shouldn't have been smoking or said anything about what she talked at the concert but the arm of the law should hold itself to a higher standard. Not running his mouth like he is 12, what a pathetic little ignorant redneck.
It's the year 2012 and we're still supporting Law Enforcement officials who blithely thwart their own rules to prosecute marijuana use.
Man, this website is so cool.

Black, White, Red, and BlingKristine and Anthony wanted an elegant traditional wedding with a splash of bling.

A Stroudsmoor Wedding in PATami and Matt wanted a rustic, simple and elegant vibe for their destination PA wedding at the Stroudsmoor Country Inn.

Ocean CityChristina and Michael wanted a unique design for their wedding celebration at the Ocean City Yacht Club.

Wedding Photography by Kevin Quinlan- Invitation Photography Artist European
Green IrishKate and Brian wanted bright and bold green color for their wedding at The Water's Edge in Seabright. This would highlight their Irish theme but as time passed, we decided to go traditional and found inspiration from another brides invitation.

Allaire State ParkRobyn and Michael knew exactly what they where looking for…. Something different! Their colors where pink and grey and they knew they where going rustic with elegance.

Black & Blue Shimmer Patti-Ann and Brad fell in love with one of our previous bride's wedding invitation that they received in the mail.

Wispy Beach Laura and Casey where looking for a free flowing formal design with a wispy beach feel to coordinate with their bridal party colors.

Photography by Artist European
Summer FloralSarah and Michael had a purple and green wedding at The Channel Club. They where looking for a summer feel without the use of beach elements. We designed something for them inspired by a past design we created for fun and featured in our books. We began with their save the date and later designed coordinating programs, menu cards, and a seating board. Wedding Photography by Lindsey's Photography- Program photography by Artist European
Cozy Like Love Birds Kim and Andrew where married at the Primavera Regency and wanted an elegant rustic design for their fall wedding. Their main colors where parrot blue and orange accented with shades of brown. Two birds where one of their requests that must be used somehow someway, but not kissing. We kept the design neutral but popped their colors in the layered backing, birds, and fonts. We accented this ensemble with a rustic net ribbon belt. Continuing the design theme, we created programs, table cards, and menu cards. Photography by Marc Anthony Photography- Exterior Pocket Photography by Artist European
Nautical in Love Erin and Darren shared a passion for all things nautical and celebrated at the Crystal Point Yacht Club. We designed their scenic invitation suite in a navy blue pocket and featured 1 of the 4 symbols on each of their enclosure cards; Anchor, Ships Wheel, Compass, and Lighthouse. Reiterating the symbols for their "day of" paper items. Each escort card rotated with the 4 symbols intertwined with their unique guest book- boat paddles. We created programs for the church ceremony, save the dates, and tented candy buffet cards. Photography by John Acara
Irene thee WedElizabeth and William's destination Vermont wedding at Aimee Farm featured colors of bright pink and navy blue. Their design taste was fun, simple, and elegant. Their invitation suite featured here is our angled cut navy blue metallic pocket with pink interior layered backing accented with navy ribbon on the sides. Photography by Artist European
Romance and CastlesJweda and Juan where married at the English Manor and wanted a design to resemble romance, castles, and crowns. We began the design process with a castle featured on their save the date magnets. For the invitation suite we stuck with their color theme- Blue and designed something reminiscent of architecture and a queens magic mirror. For the ceremony programs we brought back the castle and crown for the cover and pulled tiny elements from the invitation into the interior. Photography by Artist European
MasqueradeJennifer and Joseph celebrated their elegant masquerade theme wedding at the Imperia. Their formal whimsy design suggested the look and feel of the mask in a subtle way. Photography by Abella Studios

Photography b Rita Legband
All AboardHeather and Jared originally wanted a destination wedding to a far away island. After thinking things through they changed their mind and decided to host their wedding at a closer destination- The Water's Edge in Seabright, NJ. Staying true to their vision and going beach, we designed a custom boarding pass magnet for save the dates. Later we carried their design theme of whimsical waves into their invitation ensemble and created donation cards in lieu of favors. Photography by Artist European
Gift from the SeaEmbellish your beach theme with adding a keepsake to the invitation... a tied starfish! Photography by Artist European
Falling in LoveJennifer and Dominick where hosting their wedding celebration at Pierres mid fall. Rather than the traditional fall foliage they wanted something different, unique, and eye catching. We started with their engagement photos featured on their save the date magnets and continued the color scheme to the invitation. We created a rustic tree in light brown accented with "some" copper leaves. This invitation has become a favorite at the bridal showcases. For their reception we designed a thumbprint tree to be used as a guestbook - a beautiful work of art. Invitation Photography by Artist European
Blue and OrangeCandace and Carrie wanted a beach theme wedding with starfish for their Civil Union at the Water's Edge in Seabright, NJ. Rather then us designing one, we used an actual starfish and attached it to embellished ribbon to match their color scheme. This was an oversized flat card mounted on sand metallic backing. Absolutely loved working with these two!
Nautical ElementsTara and Gabriel where having a beach wedding and loved those elements that come along with it but did not want them on their invitation. We wanted a "nautical" look and feel without being to literal.
Vintage Design Jessica and Donald celebrated their Wedding at the Brooklake Country Club and fell in love with Tami and Matt's invitation. They wanted something simple, delicate, and use of their colors gold and burgundy. This ensemble included complete envelope printing to coordinate their entire invitation suite. Photography by Artist European
Winter Generosity As Seen in Weddingstar Leah and Jay married in early December at The Channel Club and believe in giving back to the community. Their goal was to use as little paper as they could. We designed a flat card ensemble with a wispy breeze of winter delight. Our couple purchased Toms Shoes for each bridal party member and in turn a child from the organization will receive a free pair of shoes. Each table named after a charity and in lieu of favors; donations will be given to those specific organizations. Photography by John Acara
Kiss the IrishSetting the tone for another Bride to Be, Suzanne and Kevin had an Irish theme. Their style was simple and classic and what started as a design inspired by the quilt evolved into just a symbol representing culture. Their wedding took place at the Newark Museum and the design element didn't end there. We carried their symbol over to the escort cards which where placed inside a bed of bright green grass and moss. Photography by Jason Rhee
Magical BlueDana and Jeff where married at Battery Gardens in NY. Though their wedding was in October they really wanted a summer vibe and loved the colors blue and silver. Their style was a merge of elegant and whimsical. Their love for Disney played a key factor in this. We designed double layered flat card suite with a two tone blue and went formal with fonts, printed and lined envelopes. We carried their design over to the escort cards and table cards, which would stand aside, reenacted Disney photos from their engagement shoot. Photography by Artist European
Oyster PointMarianne and Art, these two we had so much fun working with. Marianne requested we use very specific elements on her wedding invitations; Oyster, sand dollar, seahorse, and starfish. Each enclosure card featured one of those elements that we later designed to match her table cards.
FormalityLauren and Charlie wanted a very formal feel for their wedding at Georgian Court University followed by a dinner reception at the Eagle Ridge Golf Club. This pocket invitation featured interior layered backing in silver accented with black ribbon. Photography by Artist European

Coral and Cream Eileen and Beau met while at the beach. Originally they wanted their wedding celebration to take place on the shore but fell in love with The Atrium in West Orange, NJ. Their vision was to keep it summer but not beachy. We created and elegant design with their light summer colors accented with a ribbon belt and monogram. Wedding Photography by Rebecca Photography- Invitation Photography by Artist European
Fall and Baseball Melissa and Mark where married at the PNC Bank Arts Center. This couple ironically had fall colors but did not want a traditional fall theme invitation with colored leaves and pumpkins. We created a design for them more on the formal side and accented this pocket with a layered seal closure and interior. We later designed table names after each baseball stadium they have visited with a photo for proof. Their escort cards designed like tickets informing their guests of which row they are seated at. Invitation Photography by Artist European
PeacockEmbellished pocket with real peacock feather. Invitation Photography by Artist European
As Seen in Vermont VowsPatricia and Mark turned their destination wedding at the Hildene- Lincoln Family Home into one unforgettable weekend event. Design for the save the date flat card featured photos from their engagement shoot and information printed on the back regarding hotel accommodations and a breakdown of what's to come for the weekend ahead. Moving to the invitation design, the pocket was the best choice. Each enclosure provided additional information as well as invitation to a Sunday brunch. Wedding Photography by Polis Photography.

Wedding in BayheadWhitney and Dan wanted a summer vibe and use of their color- coral. In staying light and airy to encompass summer we went with neutral colors as a foundation and popped coral in ribbon and print.
Indian Greek FusionSmita and George are beautiful friends of ours- you can imagine how flattered we where when asked to design invitations for their wedding at The Pantagis Renaissance. Smita is very simple and had no requests other than the use of her colors, red and yellow. With her style in mind, we created a traditional flat card and stepped up the "formal" by slipping her invitation into a patterned jacket sleeve.
Making a Paper Statement Angela and James had already picked an invitation design prior to hearing about us. They admitted they where not happy with the outcome and came to us for the day of paper items. With the design already set in place, we simply followed it by designing coordinating programs, photo booth signage, escort cards, table cards, combo cookie tray/photo booth tents for the tables, and ribbon belts for the vase centerpieces. Photography by Phoenix Photography
The Liberty HouseTiffany and Tom celebrated their wedding at the Liberty House in the fall. True to their season we choose copper, bronze, and gold. We designed something simple, elegant, and formal for the occasion and later carried their theme into the day of paper items- escort cards, programs, menu cards, and table cards. Photography by Abella
Whimsical SeahorseAnother Thinking Paper classic, these paper items where designed to announce our new shell holders for escort cards and the stick fan program. This design has inspired many brides and the most pointed out at Bridal Showcases. Photography by JargaPix
Scalloped Front/Back ShimmerIlona and Brian were looking for something simple yet elegant with shine. We chose shimmer papers for both the prints and the pocket and minimal design work. This pocket is featured on the backside of the invitation with a scalloped edge.
Traditional WhiteJessica and Phil where looking for something very traditional for their wedding invitations. Sticking with the vision, we created a floral invitation for their ceremony at Allaire State Park in a front back pocket and tucked the enclosures for the reception at The Crystal Point Yacht Club in the back with menu selections and hotel information. Photography by Artist European
Galloping Green Meets Happy Accident Natalie and Luis had an eye for detail and where so much fun to work with. Inspired by a previous design created for Tami and Matt. A home printout of theirs with a change in color took this design to a whole new level. We used their green color, a tint of "accidental " red, and brown for this ensemble which worked out beautifully for their theme at the Galloping Hill Inn. Photography by Richard B Photography
Burst of Bling Nicole and Michael's wedding theme in LBI at The Stateroom was going to be all about glamour, elegance, and bling. We created a design reminiscent of the beach using their color palette- silver and purple. This ensemble was embellished with a rhinestone and layered interior shimmer backing to pop the glam. Staying consistent with their theme, we designed escort cards for their frames and table cards that told a story. Photography by Artist European
Hello to the Shore Melissa and James where married at the Water's Edge in Seabright, NJ and knew 100% they where going to have a beach theme. We approached this design with a fun and elegant approach. This pocket ensemble sported a layered seal closure, interior shimmer blue backing, fun fonts, and a simple starfish.

Texture Part 1 With great pleasure we bring to you a fun new product- texture backing! Though Michelle and Patrick who where married at The Water's Edge are real couples of ours, we designed them a new invitation to show off our new product. This ensemble is in a tiffany shimmer pocket accented with layered texture backing- the perfect combo for a beach wedding! Photography by Artist European
Texture Part 2 Continuation of our new products, we can also provide you with a textured pocket not just great for the summer but for the fall as well. A beautiful material to bring into a wedding invitation and one your guests will talk about and hold onto forever! Photography by Artist European
Texture Part 3Again, another "real couple" of ours, Karen and John who where married at the Long Beach Island Museum, we designed a new invitation for them as well to show off another new product. These rustic envelopes add a perfect punch to stepping up the traditional flat card. Your invitation ensemble would go inside an actual mailing envelope but does make for one stunning first impression for your guests to enjoy and keep forever. Photography by Artist European
Snowflake BlingKerri and Craig planned a devine winter wonderland wedding. Their invitation was printed on shimmer cardstock accented with snowflakes and rhinestones, wrapped with a satin snowflake ribbon belt. We coordinated their "day of" stationery to match using the same papers and snowflakes. Each table was named after a wintery word and their escort cards were tied to ornaments to double as favors. Absolutely gorgeous! Photography by Abella Studios
Casual and Pink Peony Hope and Lyle planned their wedding at the Stone House. Very quiet, intimate wedding and these two we had so much fun working with. Our favorite, each chair hung signage with their guest names used as place cards. Photography by Jeri Houseworth
Rhode Island Helen and Mark celebrated their wedding at the Warwick Country Club and where looking for something beach but elegant. We kept their design very simple but formal using a combo of cream, shimmer paper, and blue to match the color of her bridesmaid dresses. The seagulls pulled the scent of the salt in the air and carried the waves to your toes. Photography by Artist European
Classic Fall Wedding Jessica and David where married at the Olde Mill Inn. Amazing couple to work with- they knew exactly what they where looking for and made the process fun and easy. We designed a falling leaf tree invitation ensemble with an exterior ribbon belt. True to their theme and colors we designed coordinating escort cards, and candy buffet cards.

Fall Twist Erica and Ronald celebrated their wedding at the Berkeley Plaza. The goal in mind was simple yet elegant so we created a layered flat card with a luscious ribbon bow tied in back to hold the enclosure cards together.
Scalloped Edges This invitation was designed to announce our new scalloped edge pockets available in most colors and patterns. Invitation Photography by Artist European
Olivia and Chris had a vision in mind when they came in. They loved typographic design styles for their wedding invitations. Olivia also loved the bling! We found a happy medium between the two and created a stunning piece this photo can do no justice for.
Whimsical Starfish Erin and Shawn where inspired by our Seahorse invitation design. We used the whimsical swirls for inspiration and added in their element- starfish. This design later carried over into their day of stationery; program fans, starfish escort cards, drink signage, menu, table, and thank you cards.

Scrolling Shell Meghan and Michael were married at the Shadowbrook and wanted a beach theme. Their invitation was created using our front/back pockets with an added color layered cardstock. The design featured a scalloped shell with scrolls reminiscent of the décor within the venue and waves. Photography by Jeri Houseworth
The Channel Club Jen and Jim were one of our very first couple's to get married. Jen was looking for something breezy, beachy, and fun with her colors being pink and blue. We designed an element reminiscent of the dunes and used a navy pocket to hold the matching enclosures. We also designed layered ceremony programs accented with backing and tied ribbon, and escort tags for their gifts from the sea.
Lacey Spring time Nikki and Chip were a blast to work with. They were married at the gorgeous Ashford Estate on a beautiful spring day. Their energy, attention to detail, and kindness was overwhelmingly splendid! Nikki's love for lace made this invitation design a first for us to create and has since been an inspiration to others. Wedding Photography by John Acara
Nature and Texture AlikeRachael and Whitley loved nature and wanted to have their wedding take place at Pratt Gardens. During our meeting, Rachael told us the remarkable story behind this location. The owner was approached by so many couples asking permission to use his beautiful property for their special day. He decided to go along with the idea and started hosting weddings. Get this… he even stays for the weddings and helps in the kitchen! Rachael was ecstatic to find previous brides had paved the way for her after coming across the gardens on the internet.
Modern and Fun Amy and Patrick are getting married this year. They wanted something different, fun, and one of a kind. The verbiage helped play into this concept as well.
The DragonflyAli and Tom were another "real" first time couple of ours. Ali wanted to symbolize her dear aunt who has passed by the use of dragonflies. We designed invitations, programs, table cards/names of Irish pubs, and escort cards.
Blue Formal This invitation suite is featured in our silver shimmer pockets with design in blue detail. Invitation Photography by Artist European
BloomingChris and Lindsay celebrated their big day at the American Hotel. Their floral design made of their colors, purple and blue with accents of black coordinated with their escort cards. We created a pocket fold invitation ensemble with an exterior ribbon belt monogrammed with their initials.
Scalloped Edges Melissa and Frank celebrated their wedding at The Mill in Spring Lake Heights. Melissa fell in love with a previous invitation design created for Margaret and Jason. There was no talking her out of it in creating something different. We swapped out the colors and overall style to match their wedding.
Green and GoldLauren and Matt were dolls to work with. Their wedding celebration was held at The Manor in West Orange. The design was to capture the look and feel of their location. We layered their invitation inside a gold leaf pocket with a cream shimmer paper and added a little something to the outside. Their design coordinated with matching programs, escort, table, menu, and thank you cards.
Purple and Orange DivineAlyse and Ryan celebrated their wedding at The Palace. Alyse wanted her design to be whimsical yet elegant given her colors were purple and orange. We designed a pocket fold invitation in cream shimmer accented with a monogrammed satin ribbon belt closure. Their design later carried into their "photo strip framed escort cards" which doubled as a favor for the photo booth.
Silver and Black with BlingYasmin and Chris came to us courtesy of CM Events. This wedding was so much fun! They loved the concept of the pocket holding everything together but weren't fans of the folded styles. We used our front/back pocket and printed their ensemble on silver paper. Yasmin loved the bling so we added a tiny rhinestone buckle. This invitation has become quite the inspiration for our other brides.
MonogramKatie and Jason came to us courtesy of No Limit Events. They were a fun kindhearted couple to work with! Their color palette consisted of mostly hot pink but Katie wanted to tie in the gold from the venue somehow. We later changed things up a bit and added an antique gold paper backing to the invitation, popped her pink in their names and left the remaining design simple and elegant.
Himelman Dan runs the building that Thinking Paper calls home. Once he proposed he placed his bride to be, Loni in our hands. Loni wanted coral and not just the color, literally coral. They celebrated their awesome wedding at The Avenue. We printed on a beachy sand shimmer paper and popped her coral color in the invitation print and layered that with her other color, turquoise. This invitation is truly one of a kind and we've yet to see anything like it! Photography courtesy of Jeri Houseworth
Wine and Dine with a Rustic EdgeNicole and James celebrated their wedding day at Laurita Winery. Their invitation was inspired by the venue itself. Nicole did not want the typical grapes and wine glasses on her invitation but wanted the rustic feel of the venue with an elegant touch. We printed on a cream shimmer paper, layered her invitation with a merlot shimmer paper, and used a textured barrel like pocket. The photo does not do justice for how gorgeous this invitation truly is.
Tying the Knot Kate and Scott were married at the US Merchant Marine Academy in which Scott attended. They wanted a beach feel with a nautical twist. We used a textured envelope to hold the invitation and enclosure cards together which featured their nautical monogram. Later, Scott himself tied each envelope closed putting his learned skills to good use (with a knot style of which the name escapes us right now) Photography courtesy of Abella Studios
Tiffany and BlackJennifer and Dan were married at The Olde Mill Inn. Her colors were Tiffany, black, white, with accents of pink- not to be used in the invitation. We used design inspiration taken from a print on the cocktail napkins used for their engagement party.
AirplanesAnna and Bryce were married in Vermont. Their décor was truly remarkable accented with stringed l ights, hanging airplanes for table numbers and illuminated lanterns mixed with flowers to introduce their accent color, yellow. Wedding Photography, J.HarperPhotography
Simply Elegant Nicole and Michael celebrated their wedding day at The Merion. Truly amazing family to work with, their kindness touched our hearts. They wanted something simple yet elegant with a little shine. We stuck with black and white throughout their invitation ensemble and printed on white shimmer paper. Photography by Marc Anthony
Hidden Mickey Lindsay and Mark celebrated their wedding day at the PNC Bank Arts Center. Lindsay was very specific in wanting Disney invitations BUT did not want the cartoon or childlike look and feel. We decided to design "hidden mickeys" blended into her whimsy magical invitation pocketfold. The layered seal closure featured a quote and brought home the fairytale storybook concept to this piece. This invitation has been making waves and becoming all Disney brides favorite inspiration.
3 Part InvitationMegan and Ashish, what a fun wedding to work on! We needed to design 3 different wedding invitations that featured a little bit of Indian style, Megan's style, and a combo of both. The pocketfold was the best format for this purpose. The main invitation gave no details other than the wedding being a 2 day event. One invitation enclosure card featured information for the Indian ceremony held at Cross Culture Restaurant and the other invitation inviting guests to the ceremony held at Le Club Avenue.

/// NASA's Robot Lab Curiosity Nears Mars
August 6, 2012 | All Things Digital
Anxious NASA officials Sunday crossed their fingers and set their clocks to Mars time as the agency's $2.5 billion Curiosity craft neared the Red Planet for the most complex, costly and high-risk landing ever attempted on another world. The plutonium-powered, six-wheeled Curiosity robot vehicle carries cameras and 10 scientific instruments, including an onboard analytical laboratory and a drill rig, to test whether Mars ever offered the favorable conditions or organic compounds necessary for life.

Shoppers were out in full force on the Southside of Elkhart Friday.
Hundreds of people came out to Concord Mall hoping to take part in the Black Friday shopping sprees.
Some shoppers hoped to score a great deal, while others simply went to get a start on their Christmas shopping.
Still, some folks hoped the commercial craze of the holidays did not overshadow something even more important, the family.
"Christmas time is always fun to hang out with your family, to make this a special time. Christmas gets a little bit crazy, and you kind of forget what the season is all about and I think this is a time to really focus in on Jesus and focus in on family and focus in on all the blessings of the season," explains Terry Bley of Nappanee.
Parts of the mall opened up for the early birds at 5AM.

In the beginning there was nothing. The story of Noah in Genesis begins well before the famous meeting of the divine animal before the flood, in order to associate it with the original sin. It is the theft of the forbidden apple that begins grim reality, where the descendants of Cain resulted in a violent and selfish civilization. To "cleanse" the earth came the great flood that covered the continents. A new beginning, a purification that brings the intriguing question: is there room for humanity in it?
More than just take the biblical story to the big screen, director Darren Aronofsky is interested in discussing is the position of the human being before this "final judgment" under the most diverse aspects. The most explicit is the hand of faith that borders on fanaticism, represented by the title character himself. The unshakeable belief of Noah to follow God's design makes it not only build the famous ark, but also set aside hundreds - thousands? - Of human lives begging for a spot on the vessel, bringing the character a moral dubiousness that can yield a good controversy. Is even more intense the conflict experienced by Noah after the flood, a surprising subplot that arouses many questions about the human being.
However, while there is a clear difficulty in creating this reality, Aronofsky skids of light precisely one of its crucial elements: the guardians. Giant beings that serve as links between Paradise Lost and the current life on Earth, they are conceptually interesting but sin in fantasy garb in tone, referring to the film Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings series This option might be for reasons marketing in order to attract a wider audience, but also ends up working against the film, since it makes the characters - and the story itself - even more fanciful. And this side is, in the end, what matters least for the movie as a whole.
Regarding the performances, it is important to highlight the work of Russell Crowe. As much as at times your character resembles the epic starring for it earlier, there in his Ark a variety of emotions that makes it, above all, human. Jennifer Connelly and Emma Watson also have good moments, especially in the latter half, when their characters are more emotionally required. The quality in photography, digital, and neat edition in pretty but superfluous moments, as the resubmission of Genesis, also deserve mention.

The cost of medicare supplement insurance or Medigap policies vary widely between insurance companies. The premiums charged by different insurance companies for exactly the same coverage can be very different. When looking for a Medigap policy, compare medicare supplement rates for the same benefits. Compare the same Medigap plan from one company with another insurance company.
The cost of a Medigap policy depends on several factors. Does the insurance company offer discounts on their policies. These discounts can be for non-smokers, women, electronic funds transfer, etc. Does the insurance company their rates on a pre-existing medical condition?
Does the insurance company sell Medicare SELECT policies requiring the applicant to use certain providers? Does the insurance company offer a high-deductible option?
Medicare SELECT is Medigap policy requiring policy holders to use hospitals and doctors within its network. Medicare SELECT can be any of the standardized Medigap Plans approved by Medicare. Medicare SELECT policies cost less than other Medigap policies.
When purchasing a Medigap policy with a private insurance company, the policy holder signs a contract agreeing to have the insurance company get information directly from Medicare. They will then pay the doctor directly. Some insurance companies also offer this service for Medicare Part B and Part A policy holders.
In the event that the insurance company does not offer this service, the policy holder can ask their doctors if they participate in the Medicare program. This means that they can accept the assignment for all Medicare patients. If the doctor does participate, the Medigap insurance company is obliged to pay the doctor directly upon request.

Yesterday I wrote about the previous year in Nuggets basketball, and ended by noting the challenge facing Tim Connelly and Brian Shaw following such a wild season. Here are some issues from the previous year that they will have to deal with going forward:
A look at the rollercoaster year of Nuggets basketball
Hopes were high for the Nuggets at the end of the 2012 offseason, with some analysts predicting up to 59 wins and a top two playoff seed. Masai Ujiri had acquired Olympic gold medalist and star defender Andre Iguodala in a trade, and extended Ty Lawson and JaVale McGee with long-term contracts. He surrounded the team's young core with veteran Andre Miller and cheap talent like Anthony Randolph and Evan Fournier.
But a difficult early schedule loomed. The Nuggets would play 22 of their first 32 games on the road, including 8 sets of back-to-back games. By the end of November, the team had a pair of four game winning streaks sandwiched in between three losing streaks of three games each, including worrying losses to the lowly Suns and Magic.
A lot's happened in the last 24 hours surrounding Denver Nuggets. George Karl has been making the rounds with the Denver media sharing what he calls "his side of the story," in regards to his dismissal as Nuggets head coach last week. Meanwhile, Danilo Gallinari claims his knee was never as bad as we all thought, and Andre Iguodala… well, yeah…
I can't lie. I've thought about writing this article for years. Years. After each futile, heartless, disappointing exit in the first round of the playoffs, I was so ready to write this article that I couldn't sleep. This year was no different. This year I wanted it just as bad as I have for the last several years. And yet, here it is, less than a week since Karl was let go, and I'm not sure I even want to write it anymore.
If you're a chocolate enthusiast you've probably experienced the irritating stains the delectable dainty can often leave behind. I'm sure most people have one or two white shirts in the wardrobe with subtle traces of the brown substance imprinted onto the fabric, which refuse to vanish no matter how many times they've been washed. In the NBA, general managers come and go, but their errors often linger even when they are long gone. Thus the pressure on a GM is excruciating, as one careless decision can set a team back for years to come, and even if they end up losing their job, a stain of their tenure often remains as a constant reminder of their regime. (more…)
The story of Kenneth Faried's career is a very interesting one.
Despite being the all-time leading rebounder in modern-day NCAA history, Faried fell all the way the 22nd pick in the 2011 NBA draft where the Nuggets scooped him up.
The reasons he fell were well documented; he was undersized, lacked an offensive game, and was an average finisher. But he also had some huge strengths; the rebounding prowess, the motor and his incredible athleticism.
He ended up in the perfect situation in Denver, a place where he was asked to rebound and run the floor, things he did very well. Because of that he burst on the scene as a rookie with highlight after highlight. He also captured peoples' hearts and imagination; I have seen projections from various Nuggets followers that call him a future All-Star, a superstar and even Dennis Rodman 2.0.
But 2012-2013 should temper those expectations just a bit and raise a very interesting, and difficult, decision for George Karl and whoever runs the Nuggets front office going forward.
Is Faried better utilized as a sixth man?
Masai Ujiri leaving the Denver Nuggets has the potential to be one of the most devastating franchise decisions the Kroenke family has ever made. Conversely, the Nuggets might hire the next Masai Ujiri and be just fine. Either way, the decision to let him speak with the Raptors and ultimately sign with his former Canadian squad said something about the Nuggets as a franchise. It said something about the Kroenkes and it said something about the order of the Nuggets' priorities. Our writers have a few ideas about what that something is, which we've laid out below in our latest Roundball Roundtable.
As the 2012-2013 NBA calendar winds down we take a look at the season that was for the Denver Nuggets, starting with an overview of the offense.
The Nuggets finished with the fifth-best offense of the 2012-2013 season in terms of offensive efficiency. It was a record setting year with Denver securing a franchise-best 57 wins and the most points in the paint scored in a season in NBA history. Denver has now had a top five offense for five years in a row, but their fall to fifth represents a decline from last year's third-ranked team and the league-leading Nuggets offense of two seasons ago.
If we dig a bit deeper we see the effects of horrendous shooting from the perimeter and the free-throw line reflected in the Nuggets True Shooting percentage, which fell all the way to 54.9% this season. While that is a solid figure good for 7th in the NBA, it's also the Nuggets worst mark since the 2006-2007 season and rather pedestrian compared to what they did with similar talent in years past.
The Nuggets were still the Nuggets this season, but the offense clearly took a step back despite everyone's best efforts to reorganize as a sturdier defensive unit under Iguodala (and the defense did improve). Denver scored enough points to win most games but it was on the offensive end where the Nuggets saw most of their flaws exposed, both with the roster and the style of play.
It's pretty remarkable that a team with no shooters and inexperienced, unskilled big men still managed a top five offense and 57 wins. Looking at the numbers it's clear the Nuggets had a plan to maximize what they do best and executing that consistently covered up many individual flaws. I took a look at what else can be gleamed from the Nuggets offensive numbers this past season and here are five revelations, if you will, as we wait to see how the Nuggets try to improve in the draft, free agency and beyond.
One of the biggest talking points around the Nuggets this season was how deep they were.
That resulted in a lot of different players scoring points for Denver and naturally with that plenty of assists, as the Nuggets finished third in the league at 24.4 assists per game, just .1 worse than second place Atlanta and less than a full assist behind top ranked San Antonio.
Most of those assists came from three players; Ty Lawson, Andre Miller and Andre Iguodala averaged 6.9, 5.9 and 5.4 assists per game respectively.
I decided to delve a little deeper into those assist numbers using the awesome assist charts at the great new site hotshotcharts.com.
For the third year in a row Roundball Mining Company has arranged an off-season priority list for the Denver Nuggets. The following items are arranged from least to most important. They are moves which the Nuggets would greatly benefit from, yet none are mandatory. After winning 2012-13 NBA Executive of the Year, it's safe to assume Nuggets general manager Masai Ujiri will do everything in his power to improve the Nuggets once again — that is, as long as he's still around.
All-Defensive teams have been a joke for a while now. They're more a popularity contest than a real measuring stick of who the best defenders in the NBA really are. In this sense, it shouldn't be surprising that Andre Iguodala has been left of the NBA's All-Defensive First Team. But leaving him off the All-Defensive Second Team as well? That just seems… well… fitting, given how completely inept voters are with this "honor." But it's also unfortunate and unjustified. Iguodala changed the way the Nuggets defended this year and was a big reason his team finished with the best regular season record in franchise history. Naturally, Nuggets GM Masai Ujiri was quite perturbed by the announcement and recently let off some steam to Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post.
Members of the All-Defensive First Team include: LeBron James, Serge Ibaka, Tyson Chandler, Joakim Noah, Tony Allen and Chris Paul. Members of the All-Defensive Second Team include: Tim Duncan, Paul George, Marc Gasol (even though he won Defensive Player of the Year), Avery Bradley and Mike Conley.
Staking a Claim is a column that takes a look at all things Nuggets through the eyes of an outsider. As those who follow me on Twitter know I am a Bucks fan, so it will give Nuggets fans an opportunity to see things through the eyes of someone who follows the team closely but isn't necessarily a fan.
A little over a week ago the Nuggets season came to a disappointing end in a Game 6 loss to the Golden State Warriors.
Over that time I have thought a lot about how to classify the Nuggets season.
Was it a success or failure? How much can be built on and how much should the team get away from? Can this roster compete for a title with a few tweaks or is there a major change that has to happen?
And finally after watching the Warriors continue their, to steal a term from Matt Moore, nova shooting against the Spurs things started to become much clearer to me.
Denver got up big early and held on late to win the first of three straight elimination games, thanks to a dominant effort by Andre Iguodala who scored 25 points and added 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and a block. Denver also got good games from Wilson Chandler and Ty Lawson among others.
The process.
Those are going to be the words that Nuggets fans hear a lot between now and Game 5, between the end of the season and the draft.
|Kenneth Faried, SF 30 MIN | 6-7 FG | 3-3 FT | 7 REB | 0 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 2 TO | 15 PTS | +2
Faried's numbers are better than he actually played. But considering this was only his second game, and first start, since coming back from an injury, it could have been worse. Faried just can't keep up with the defensive schemes the Nuggets need to run in order to stifle the Warriors on offense. He played valiantly, had some nice dunks and a few strong rebounds, but he'll need to play out of his mind on defense in order to win more games this series.
|Ty Lawson, PG 38 MIN | 11-22 FG | 12-12 FT | 3 REB | 10 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 4 TO | 35 PTS | -2
Lawson had his best game ever in the postseason. His 35 points were a career playoff high and only two short of tying his regular season high. He had about three or four unbelievable plays this game — the type that make you drop your jaw in amazement. That said, he missed some crucial shots down the stretch and turned the ball over when the Nuggets had a chance to win the game. Had he made just one more shot late in the game he likely would have gone down in Nuggets postseason lore.
|Wilson Chandler, SG 37 MIN | 4-8 FG | 1-2 FT | 9 REB | 2 AST | 2 STL | 1 BLK | 2 TO | 11 PTS | -6
Chandler did his best playing center. It's only the second time in his career he's started at center and neither performances were ones to remember. He gave solid effort on defense for most of the night and hit some big shots, but he hasn't been the type of scoring machine he was after Gallo went down in the regular season. If the Nuggets want to win this thing, he's gonna need to step up offensively — which would likely be much easier if he were playing his natural position.
|Andre Iguodala, SG 42 MIN | 6-15 FG | 0-1 FT | 5 REB | 5 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 2 TO | 14 PTS | +5
Iguodala had a typical Iguodala game: He started off incredibly hot, then pretty much disappeared offensively for the rest of the night. His defense was excellent through the first half, but once the third quarter rolled around his performance slipped along with every one of his teammates' sans Ty Lawson. He also made a crucial turnover when the Nuggets had a chance to win the game late.
|Evan Fournier, SG 13 MIN | 1-2 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 2 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 2 PTS | -8
Fournier saw minutes early on and played well, but was inexplicable taken out for almost the entire game after that.
|Anthony Randolph, PF 4 MIN | 2-2 FG | 0-1 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 4 PTS | -2
Randolph had one of the worst goaltending violations I've ever seen. That was about all I could recount from his brief, four-minute stint.
|Corey Brewer, SF 24 MIN | 6-12 FG | 3-3 FT | 3 REB | 2 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 3 TO | 16 PTS | +11
Brewer was probably the second best player on the team this game. He provided a great spark off the bench that led to the Nuggets grabbing their biggest lead of the game in the second quarter and shot the ball well all night. Late in the game he got a little dramatic with his flopping which led to some bad turnovers, but overall he did a great job of giving the Nuggets a spark off the bench.
|Kosta Koufos, C 11 MIN | 0-0 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 1 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 0 PTS | 0
I'm baffled at what's come of Koufos lately. He's had a steady decline the last month but he's been virtually worthless in the playoffs. I hate saying that because he's been so solid all year, but at this point I can't see anything positive he's bringing to the roster. He refuses to score, he's slow on defense and doesn't play with a chip on his shoulder anymore. At one point in the year Koufos was the toughest guy on the team. Now he looks as if he just wants to run and hide somewhere safe.
|JaVale McGee, C 14 MIN | 2-5 FG | 0-2 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 4 PTS | -1
McGee was mostly a train wreck. Not full-on train wreck, but close. His defense is just unbelievably bad this series. He's a guy who needs to stay in the paint and contest shots, yet the Warriors are forcing him to come out of his comfort zone and into the perimeter which is confusing the hell out of him. Like Koufos, he's slow to react to everything thrown his way. Once the Warriors get him off balance, it takes just a few extra passes to penetrate and get an easy bucket at the rim, or an open shot from downtown. Thankfully his offense is still functioning… somewhat.
|Andre Miller, PG 27 MIN | 2-13 FG | 2-3 FT | 4 REB | 4 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 3 TO | 7 PTS | -9
I don't even want to talk about it. I don't even want to. This guy is driving me nuts. He's making me lose my mind when I watch this team. His defense is nothing short of embarrassing. It's insulting to anyone who's ever tried to prevent someone doing something in the history of the world. His defensive effort is nonexistent; it's grotesque at the same time. I just, for the life of me, will never understand what it is George Karl sees in him. I promise, as bad as J.R. Smith was at times, I don't think I ever remember him underhandedly sabotaging the Nuggets like this. Now, obviously Andre Miller isn't purposely trying to lose this series for the Nuggets, but if he were he wouldn't be playing a whole lot differently!!!
Usually his offense bails him out, but his game it only exacerbated his issues. His selfish, "Hero Ball" mentality cost the Nuggets at least eight possessions, which could have been used to actually try something intelligent when it came to scoring the basketball. If he sits out the rest of the series I'll have no problem with it. In fact, that's probably the Nuggets' best shot of winning, as his perimeter defense seems to be the genesis of the Nuggets most costly problem against Golden State.
|George Karl
I really want to give Karl an F. I'll just say that. But he did manage to keep this game close and he did suite up and he did show up and draw up plays and form sentences that made syntactic sense — so because of that I can't give him an F. But judging his coaching alone, I think an F might be warranted.
He started Chandler at center, which just makes no logical sense whatsoever. He also had wacky lineups all game long, none of which seemed to have any positive effect after the first half concluded. Mark Jackson continued to win timeouts. The "plays" the Nuggets did run didn't work at all — especially Lawson's isolation at the end of the game. And overall the Warriors played much better, more focused defense than the Nuggets did, which likely won them the game.
But Karl's biggest mistake was his insistence to ride Miller until he dragged the Nuggets down to the lowest depths of humiliation that could possibly be felt by someone who refuses to take any sort of defensive pride whatsoever in their game. (Note: Hyperbole likely present in previous sentence.) How fitting it was that Jackson, a first-time playoff coach decided to stick with his young rookies like Barnes and Green, whereas Karl went down gunz-a-blazin' with Dre Miller and both took the entire team with them. At this point Karl is getting out-coached while his lineups and obsession with going smaller than his opponent just seem like futile, nervous farces that a coach of his experience should not be making.

Cornelius V.S. Roosevelt
Cornelius Van Schaack Roosevelt (October 23, 1915 – August 3, 1991) was a World War II veteran. He was the third child of Theodore "Ted" Roosevelt III and Eleanor Butler Alexander and therefore the grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt. He served in the Navy during World War II and was later an officer in the CIA.[1][2] He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,[1] where he was a member of St. Anthony Hall, and graduated in 1938.
For part of 1960 and 1961 he was head of the Technical Services Division of the CIA.[3] Evan Thomas wrote that Roosevelt was the person who originally suggested the CIA project that attempted to poison Fidel Castro.[4] Roosevelt, as a head of the CIA technical division, supervised Sidney Gottlieb, who brought a biological poison to Congo during the autumn of 1960. To friends and family, he said that his work for the CIA mainly involved creating devices to detect listening devices. He also mentioned that he took part as a subject in the CIA experiments on LSD (part of MKULTRA). Roosevelt at various times in his life worked as an electrical engineer and in the Andes as a mining engineer. He also may have worked in the Philippines. Roosevelt had many lifelong hobbies and interests and published about them: the archaeology of Peru, the history of early sugar processing machines in the Caribbean,[5] Japanese Netsuke carvings, and scuba-diving.[6][7][8] He gave a collection of more than 50 M. C. Escher prints to the National Gallery of Art.[9]

- AFAM 4939: Afro-Caribbean Music Research Project
- AFAM 4710: Field & Lab Methods for Researching Black Music
The Afro-Caribbean Music Research Project, an initiative of the Department of African American Studies, is a four to five week faculty-led program offering students the opportunity to experience and study Afro-Caribbean Music and Culture in the Caribbean. The site for the Summer 2014 will be the island nation of Grenada including the sister site of Carriacou. Past research excursions have been to St. Croix, USVI (2009), Trinidad (2010), Tobago (2011) and Grenada (2012). Students will learn and apply appropriate field research principles and practices in conducting ethnomusicological fieldwork. Students will focus attention towards the African retentions within traditional music forms as well as contemporary and current musical traditions. Students will have sessions on the history and legacy of music and dance in Carriacou and Grenada, the importance of linguistics in understanding messages within the music studied as well as the impact of trans-Atlantic slavery on the musical idioms and genres that derive from the Caribbean. The experience will include lecturers by leading scholars, musicians and experts from the Caribbean. Students will also have "dialogues" with area musicians, professionals and inhabitants of Carriacou and Grenada. Tours of historic sites, museums and important musical venues will be scheduled throughout the trip. Summer 2014 will be exciting, as the research trip will include both Carriacou and Grenada. Carriacou is the home of some of the most unique manifestations of Africanisms in the Caribbean, specifically the Big Drum and the Maroon String Bands. It is the goal of ACMRP to offer students a glimpse of Carriacou and Grenada through a well crafted, safe and intense immersion experience. We will live amongst, talk, eat with and share space with the communities of and Grenada as we not only learn about the inhabitants but also share of our own lives and experiences. The culmination of our research excursion will be a presentation of group projects to a community of scholars, local inhabitants and new friends. At the end of the program students will compile their oral histories, video recordings and other accumulated field research, leaving a complete set of the recordings at a major research repository in Grenada as well as depositing a complete set in the Afro-Caribbean Music Research Project Collection in the Snell Library.

Loew's Valencia Theatre
165-11 Jamaica Avenue,
34 people favorited this theater
Showing 51 - 75 of 644 comments
It most definitely is NOT demolished. Though I do feel it was desecrated (pun intended) by the resident church by painting the interior in bright colors and draping the nudes so as not to offend churchgoers.
Even so, the Valencia remains one of the most beautiful theaters ever built and I am grateful to the church for having saved it back in the terrible late 70's. Otherwise, it may have suffered the fate of so many other palaces: demolition.
I believe it's up and running as a church, with most of its glory intact. Not demolished.
This was my favorite movie theater. I loved to go there and just look around. It was magnificent.
It was a mistake to demolish it.
Thanks, Ken, for reminding me of an incident that happened a few weeks before I started working as a part-time usher at Loew's Valencia. Mr. Shamp nearly had a nervous breakdown due to that incident, and retired permanently within months. He had previously been robbed while working as assistant manager at Loew's Kameo in Brooklyn. He was replaced at the Valencia by John Mellucci, who was transferred from Loew's Hillside.
From the NYT, dated 5/5/53:
MOVIE ROBBED OF $2,375; Queens Theatre Official Bound by 3 After Income Tax Ruse
Three hold-up men, two of them brandishing pistols, took $2,375 from Loew's Valencia Theatre in Jamaica. Queens, yesterday and left the assistant manager, Henry Shamp of 212-08 Seventy-fifth Street, Bayside, Queens, tied up with twine on the floor of his office.
Portions of the Valencia's marquee and entrance can be seen in this August 1949 photo showing fans awaiting the arrival of Al Jolson to promote his new movie, "Jolson Sings Again." The Life Magazine archive also has a shot of Jolson performing on stage at Loew's Pitkin in Brooklyn, which was another stop on the tour. That tour has beed discussed before at Cinema Treasures at listings for Loew's Valencia, Loew's Prospect, and perhaps others:

WOW! That is so interesting about that church!! I passed that church more times than I can count when passing by on the LIRR behind it….
Thanks, Lost Memory.
Good thought, LuisV.
Too bad they can't switch venues!
Thanks for posting this, Warren. So, to some extent, the changes in the Valencia and the Jamaica church compensated for each other. Odds are, the multi-purpose performance space at the new arts center will include a movie screen.
By a twist of fate, Loew's Valencia became a church and a Jamaica church became a performing arts center. Figure!
View link
Thanks, HBH ! I grok you loud and clear !
comment from a relatively "young-un" – One of the great movie experiences of my childhood was "Lawrence of Arabia" – and in THAT theater and on THAT screen, I'll say no more.
And you know what else – one of the saddest Saturdays in American History, the rainy day after JFK's assassination, went to see "The Haunting"
Thanks for posting your recollection of the Valencia here, Don.
Great to read these rich exchanges about this grand palace. My grandmother took me several times in the mid-late 1930s, and I still recall my awe at the constellations above us. I wept when Dick Powell sang "Don't Give Up the Ship" in (I think) "The Singing Marine."
In September, 1949, Kathryn Grayson and new star discovery Mario Lanza did a tour of Loew's circuit theatres in advance of their "That Midnight Kiss" opening at the Capitol in midtown Manhattan. Miss Grayson's husband, Johnnie Johnston, emceed the stage proceedings. This ad mentions only the Valencia,46th Street, Pitkin, and Oriental, but I'm sure that there were other theatres on adjacent evenings: View link
Good point, Warren. Thanks. Have you mentioned this to the management of CT ?
The main entry needs to be changed. Under "Loew's Valencia" it should say Jamaica, NY, or Jamaica, Queens, NY (not just Queens, NY). And the specific address underneath should also include mention of Jamaica (and should not be just Queens, NY). The listing for the Ridgewood Theatre in Ridgewood, Queens mentions the community in both cases. Why should Loew's Valencia be treated differently?
I've tried to resuscitate this aged press clipping from June, 1955, which shows an air raid practice drill taking place on Jamaica Avenue. A cop is directing a pedestrian to take shelter in the Valencia's entrance. Ironically, the feature movie that day was "Run For Cover," supported by "Conquest of Space." Also on the bill was a Technicolor short detailing Danny Kaye's roving ambassadorship for UNICEF: View link
Here are new links to an opening day ad and a view of the auditorium. The black shadows behind the statuary across the top of the stage area were caused by the flash used at the time:

All too true, Life's too short.
A discussion of atrocities would not be complete without mentioning the Elmwood:
Ziggy you are correct. The Velencia's biggest problem is a chandelier and a questionable chocie of paint. That's pretty much it. I totally agree with Warren that the paint choice is garish ar best, but hey, it's protecting the plaster, and it's only paint. The Kings which has lost a lot of it's plaster that would have to be duplicated, the Amsterdam had severe plaster problems, and yes, I have seen before and after photos of the Paradise. The Valencia is not even a hint of "lost", a new paint job, and a missing chandelier, and the Valencia is back in business as original.
Another theater I feel that is TOTALLY salvagable is the RKO Keith's in Richmond Hill, which unlike the Valencia, lost all it's seats…but is relatively intact inside. Not nearly as well maintained as the Valencia (and of course not as ornate to begin with), but it's plaster is protected under a coat of nondescript one color beige paint. I rather see that though, as hope exists there, as it's intact, and the building is maintained…..than seeing it gutted and turned into a drug store with a drop ceiling.
Yes, we've been through this before, and yes it would be better if the Valencia had not been repainted, but the Paradise was so chopped up and remodled inside that it actually made a list of "lost" buildings of NYC because it was assumed it could never be restored to its original look. Now look at it! Granted it's not a complete resoration, but it looks pretty much like its old self again. The Kings has some serious water damage, yet people are still saying its restorable. The New Amsterdam actually had mushrooms growing in it because it had been so neglected. Compared to these theatres, having to (hopefully) restore the Valencia's original paint job, and removing that chandelier, does not seem like such a big job.
