I gave to you my soul, my heart
I have given it from the very start
And I'd give to you myself, my love
Just tell me that we will never part.
Happiness is something that I have always longed for
And I feel it whenever I'm with you
I feel emotions so vibrant, so wonderful
I have never felt anything this true.
Nothing could stop me now
'Cause there is no reason to do so
Nothing should stop me now
Even death won't stop my love to grow.
And even if to die is to rest
I won't stop, I won't pause though I am dead
Rest assured that dead or alive,
You will always be, for all eternity my life.

September 26, 2013 J.J. Moore News
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Moore was cleared to play for Rutgers after transferring from Pittsburgh, ESPN.com reports.
Moore will not have to sit out a year after leaving the Panthers. He averaged 8.0 points for Pitt and could get major minutes for the Scarlet Knights.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Moore has committed to Rutgers, SNY.tv's Adam Zagoria reports.
Moore played for Pittsburgh his first three years of college, averaging 6.4 points and 2.4 rebounds. Due to the NCAA's transfer rules, he would be forced to sit out a year, but his grandfather is dealing with an illness, so Moore will apply for a hardship waiver, which would allow him to play next season.
March 10, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Moore was perfect from the floor on his way to a season-high 21 points in the win over DePaul on Saturday. He hit a career-high five 3-pointers and was 8-of-8 from the field.
Moore, a 6-6 junior, has been quiet for the majority of Big East play, but had a big game against the near defenseless Blue Demons. Pitt earned a double-bye in the Big East tournament and will likely play Syracuse on Thursday.
January 5, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Moore had a team-high 14 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT) as the Panthers were beaten by Rutgers on Saturday.
Moore played 22 minutes off the bench. The 6-6 junior is not productive in every game, but he has an interesting array of skills. He did not score in 10 minutes in the Big East opener against Cincinnati.
November 18, 2012
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Moore had 16 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and 10 rebounds in the overtime win over Oakland on Saturday.
Moore scored six of his points in the overtime period. The junior played a season-high 25 minutes and looks like an important bench piece for the Panthers. His production, however, for fantasy purposes will be inconsistent.

Leedsichthys was a giant fish that would have dwarfed every other animal in the Jurassic sea, but it was a gentle giant that lived on the tiny shrimps, jellyfish and small fish that make up plankton. It would have swum slowly through the upper waters of the ocean, taking mouthfuls of plankton-rich water and sieving them through the giant mesh-plates at the back of its mouth. Its feeding habits were similar to the modern blue whale, which also survives on nothing but plankton.
They probably travelled large distances to find parts of the world where seasonal conditions caused plankton to form itself into a dense concentrated organic soup. Once a year, and probably after plankton feasts, Leedsichthys would have shed the giant filter plates from the back of its mouth, meaning it was unable to feed itself for several weeks, whilst the new ones grew back. Towards the end of this time it would have become weakened through hunger and vulnerable to attack. The Jurassic seas in which Leedsichthys lived were a dangerous place and despite its size, it had no formal means of defending itself against predators such as Liopleurodon and Metriorhynchus. One attack would be unlikely to kill a full-grown Leedsichthys, but several predators could have inflicted fatal damage, leaving this defenceless giant to die slowly from its wounds.
More real-life information: Leedsichthys.
Jurassic Park: BuilderEdit
Leedsichthys appears in Jurassic Park: Builder. Once you have purchased the Leedsichthys into your Jurassic Park, he will begin at evolution 1 as a baby. As you feed it with crustaceans the fish will grow. It evolves at level 5 into an adult form or evolution 1. Once this evolution reaches its maximum at level 10 it will be able to evolve into evolution #2 through researching.
Once it evolves into its evolution #2 in the research center, it will become a baby again. Upon doing this you must feed it once again until level 15, where it will evolve into its adult form. After reaching level 20 you will be able to research and evolve the fish again at level 20 where it will evolve into its last form.
After level 20 it will become a baby again but in an entirely new form with a new coloring and much more earning compared to the previous. It will evolve in level #3 at level 25.

Having already sampled the French Limonade variety, we were curious to know why Lorina has two straight up lemonade products in their lineup. The physical differences are the most obvious – this product has a yellow label and a pale yellow color to the liquid itself. As far as taste goes, the differences are minimal. Too minimal, in our opinion, to warrant a second straight lemon flavor. In any event, this product has a more tart flavor than the French Limonade, but it also has several additional ingredients, such as gum Arabic for extra fizz, that don't really add to the overall enjoyment of the product. Overall, Sparkling Lemonade is a high quality product, but we'd stick with its counterpart, French Limonade.

Income and Education Are Bigger Determinants of Health Than Insurance, Report Shows
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This story originally appeared on Health Beat.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Commission to Build a Healthier America has just released a report that reveals the degree to which a child's health is determined by the hand he or she draws at birth.
The report, which is titled "America's Health Starts With Healthy Children: How Do States Compare?" confirms what we have written in other Health Beat posts.
While having or not having health insurance is important, poverty will have an even greater influence on an individual's health. As Commission Co-Chair and former Congressional Budget Office director Alice M. Rivlin puts it, "This report shows us just how much a child's health is shaped by the environment in which he or she lives."
Moreover, the report reveals that it is not only the poor who are molded by their environment. "In nearly every state, children in middle-income families also experience shortfalls in health when compared with those in higher income families. And these differences in children's health by income can be seen across racial or ethnic groups" says the report, which is based on research done at the University of California at San Francisco's Center on Social Disparities in Health. Ultimately, this study highlights "the unrealized health potential possible if all children had the same opportunities for health as those in the best-off families."
"Most of our efforts to improve health have focused on improving quality, access to and affordability of care. While these are important, support for better health that is associated with resources and community matters as well," says Commission Co-Chair Mark McClellan. "As a nation, we clearly need to do better...a large body of research shows that the causes [of poor health among children] are complex," the report observes, "and that medical care interventions are important but not sufficient."
To illustrate "the magnitude of the link between education and health" the Commission also is releasing a new online tool that lets viewers see the connection first hand, says Dr Steven Woolf, a professor of Family Medicine at Virginia Commonwealth who was involved in developing the tool. (Readers who want to check the relationship between education and premature deaths in their state or country will find the tool here).
How the Study Measures Income and Education
Taking family size into account, family income is categorized by comparing it to Federal Poverty Level (FPL), which has been defined as the amount of income that will provide a bare minimum of food, clothing, transportation, shelter and other necessities. In 2006, the U.S. FPL was $16,079 for a family of three and $20,614 for a family of four. Children were considered to be poor if they lived in households below the FPL, "near poor" if they lived in homes that fell somewhere between the FPL and twice the FPL (for a family of three that would be somewhere between $16,079 and roughly $32,000) "middle income" if they lived in households with income somewhere between twice and three times the FPL (or between $32,000 and $48,000), and "higher income" if they lived households earning four times the FPL or more ( over roughly $64,000 for a family of three, $80,000 for a family of four.)
To measure education while examining children's general health, the report looks at the highest level attained by any person in the household using four categories (less than high-school graduate, high-school graduate, some college, and college graduate).
In the U.S. 18 percent of children live in households that are "poor' and another 19 percent in households that are "near poor." Thirty-two percent are in middle-class homes, and just 28 percent live in "higher income" homes. Only 9 percent are growing up in households where no adult has completed high school, 24 percent live in families where at least one adult is a high school graduate, 32 percent in homes where one adult has some college, and 35 percent in homes where at least one person is a college graduate.
Just How Much Difference Do Income and Education Make?
In the United States, 16 percent of children ages 17 and younger are in less than optimal health -- a rate that varies widely across states from a high of 22.8 percent in Texas to a low of 6.9 percent in Vermont. (Assessment of a child's health is based on parents' reports; researchers ranked a child's health as "less than optimal" when parents described it as "poor," "fair" or "good" -- but not "very good" or "excellent." )
But within states, health varies dramatically by income. In Texas, for example, "44 percent of children in poor families are in less than optimal health compared with 6.7 percent of children in higher income families. Texas has the largest income gap in children's health status among all states."
The picture in New Hampshire is very different. There, "13 percent of poor children are in less than optimal health compared with 6.4 percent of children in higher-income families." When compared to other states, New Hampshire has the smallest income gap in children's general health.
Nationwide, as the chart below shows, children in poor, near-poor or middle-income families were 4.7, 2.8 and 1.5 times as likely as more affluent children to be in "less than optimal health."
Education also matters. Compared with children living with someone who has completed some college, children in households without a high-school graduate were more than four times as likely -- and those in households with a high-school graduate twice as likely -- to be in suboptimal health. Race also counts, with white children faring better than Hispanic or African-American children.
Ultimately, "there are a variety of intermingled factors that explain the better health status of advantaged people" Woolf explains. "A lot of it has to do with neighborhood, environmental and social support systems. It's a complicated, inter-related mix. We view education and income as proxies for that package."
Within each racial or ethnic group, income makes all the difference. Among non-Hispanic whites, for example, children in poor, near-poor or middle-income households were 3.5 2.1 and 1.4 times as likely to be in poor health than children in wealthier families.
Finally, as one would expect, adult "behaviors" influence children's health. At every income level, children living in households where no one exercise regularly or someone smokes are more likely to be in poorer health than children in families with healthier behaviors.
Yet, as the chart below reveals income is far more important than the example set by the parent. Even if adults exhibit healthy behaviors, 33 percent of children in poor husbands are in less than optimal health. By contrast, in affluent households, only 10 percent of children are in poor health if parents smoke and don't exercise -- compared to 5.4 percent if adults adopt healthy lifestyles.
Why are Income and Education So Important?
"Educated parents may have a better understanding of health-related behaviors," the report explains, "along with resources to make healthier choices." Knowledge alone is not enough. Resources are essential. While a parent my understand that it is important for her child to exercise, if she lives in a tiny apartment in a neighborhood where there are no safe playgrounds -- and where the public school offers phys ed only once a week, there is little that she can do. She cannot afford to send her child to camp in the summer. She cannot afford to join the YMCA.
Better-educated parents are "better able to obtain higher-paying jobs, providing the income to afford better housing, better "neighborhoods and a healthy diet," the report points out. (See the chart in this HealthBeat post, showing that the most nutritious foods are, indeed, significantly more expensive than other foods).
In addition, the report observes, "community influences such as safety, school quality, presence of favorable role models and availability of healthful foods and recreational opportunities affect children's health. Racial or ethnic group matters in part because it continues to influence educational and employment opportunities. In addition, discrimination and its legacy in residential segregation mean that black and Hispanic families more often live in substandard housing and unsafe or deteriorating neighborhood conditions compared with whites with similar incomes and education."
At the same time, the report acknowledges that "medical care is important for children's health." For example, "timely immunizations and regular treatment for conditions like asthma can make a big difference in overall well-being. Genetic predisposition to certain diseases also influences children's health. But many experts have concluded that medical care and genes actually play a relatively minor role compared with the influence of the physical and social conditions in which children grow up.
Finally higher income also means less stress -- not only for families but for children. And we know that chronic stress leads to disease.
What Can We Do?
The commission plans to make recommendations in April. In the meantime, I have a few suggestions.
- We should explore ways to provide jobs that pay a living wage to less-educated workers. For example, in these tough economic times, the government might invest in rebuilding our infrastructure -- an investment that also would create jobs.
- Investments in safe playgrounds and subsidies for green-markets that locate in poor neighborhoods could help improve quality of life -- and the health of children
- Low-income and middle-income children a;sp need also scholarships to help them go to college. In recent years, federal funding has favored financing loans that only more affluent families can afford; at the same time scholarship programs for low-income and median-income children have been cut. This trend should be reversed.
- Finally, we should find new ways to lift the quality of public education for low-income students. Richard Kahlenberg, a colleague at The Century Foundation, has written extensively about innovative programs doing just that.
As Kahlenberg points out in Part IV of a report titled "Fixing No Child Left Behind": "A wide body of research has found that concentrations of poverty create enormous difficulties for schools." It is very hard to try to "fix" schools located in a ghetto -- just as it is difficult to improve the health of children living there. There are too many factors working against the schools. This is why, rather than pouring money into failing schools in poor neighborhoods, some educators recommend taking the children out of the ghetto and bussing them to suburban schools.
Kahlenberg reports impressive results: studies show that when "low-income fourth-grade American students" are "given a chance to attend more- affluent schools" they score almost two years ahead of low-income students stuck in high-poverty schools on National Assessment of Educational Progress math tests...Likewise, data from the 2006 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) for fifteen-year-olds in science showed a "clear advantage in attending a school whose students are, on average from more advantaged socio-economic backgrounds."
The advantages are clear. Middle-class schools provide not only more financial resources on average, but also a more positive peer environment, better teachers, and more actively involved parents
A forthcoming Century Foundation study by Amy Stuart Wells of Teachers College, Columbia University, and Jennifer Jellison Holme of the University of Texas at Austin looks at eight highly successful inter-district programs -- in Boston, St. Louis, Hartford, Milwaukee, Rochester, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, and East Palo Alto. Researchers have found that "after an initial adjustment period, students generally see large test score achievement gains in suburban schools. In St. Louis, transfer students not only scored higher, they also were twice as likely to go on to two-year or four-year colleges than graduates of the schools they left behind.
These programs work in part because students tend to model themselves on each other. When you put a small group of low-income students into a middle-class classroom, the low-income students are less likely to talk while the teacher is talking, and more likely to do their homework. Children do not like to be "different."
Kahlenberg explains that "one the key reasons for the political success of these programs is the financial incentives provided to middle-class receiving districts." Granted, "there was strong political resistance to many of these programs initially," but " over time suburban legislators have often come to support continuation of the programs ...And new suburban districts have asked to be added to programs in Boston, Minneapolis, and Rochester. The authors attribute the political success of the programs not only to the financial incentives, but also to salutary effects that the programs themselves have on the racial attitudes of students and parents in the suburbs over time."
These are just a few suggestions. I look forward to the Commission's spring report.

Should charter schools be paid for time students spend learning on their own?
By Andrew Marra
Charters are a waste of tax payer money and some of the counties in Florida (except Palm Beach) are shutting them down along with those in NYC.
Nope. That profit going to investors. Jeb Bushes way of educating our children while investors reap the profit it from it.

Redskins v. Broncos – 1st Half analysis. A slow-paced defensive struggle so far in this game as the offenses haven't been as explosive as expected. But the Redskins are right where they want to be in a close game.
First Quarter:
- The passing game isn't looking that good so far for the Redskins. What the Redskins bring to the table may not be as sophisticated as the Broncos defense practices against.
- DeAngelo Hall is doing another good job one on one this week. This time against Demaryius Thomas.
- The Defense is doing a good job of mixing up coverages and giving Peyton Manning different looks.
- The Redskins are starting to get hits on Peyton Manning with the pass rush. Nice sack by Rob Jackson on Manning.
- You have to get hits on Manning if you have any hope of getting him off his game.
- The Redskins passing game looks stagnant so far.
Second Quarter:
- The Redskins are having success running the football on the Broncos. Alfred Morris and Roy Helu Jr. are finding holes and getting good yardage.
- Sav Rocca is punting well. Keeping the Ball away from Trindon Holliday.
- Great punt return by Joshua Morgan. I have question why he's returning kicks, but he showed why on that return.
- RGIII is not having the success running the football against the Broncos, but the Skins haven't needed it, as Morris and Helu are having good success.
- RGIII looks confused by the Broncos defense in coverage. I know the Redskins want to slow the game down, but they may want to go to the no-huddle to try to get the passing game going.
- Jordan Reed takes a big hit and had to leave the game.
- The Redskins looks like they are going to have to grind things out on offense until they can get to a point where they can use the no-huddle. The defense is doing a good job of keeping the skins in the game.
- Santana Moss just missed that catch, as RGIII put the ball right where it had to be.
- Great job by Hankerson getting open on the TD from Griffin.
- 7-7 tie.

Embedded System Design on a Shoestring
Achieving High Performance with a Limited Budget
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreIn this practical guide, experienced embedded engineer Lewin Edwards demonstrates faster, lower-cost methods for developing high-end embedded systems. With today's tight schedules and lower budgets, embedded designers are under greater pressure to deliver prototypes and system designs faster and cheaper. Edwards demonstrates how the use of the right tools and operating systems can make seemingly impossible deadlines possible.
Designer's Guide to Embedded Systems Development shares many advanced, "in-the-trenches" design secrets to help engineers achieve better performance on the job. In particular, it covers many of the newer design tools supported by the GPL (GNU Public License) system. Code examples are given to provide concrete illustrations of tasks described in the text. The general procedures are applicable to many possible projects based on any 16/32-bit microcontroller. The book covers choosing the right architecture and development hardware to fit the project; choosing an operating system and developing a toolchain; evaluating software licenses and how they affect a project; step-by-step building instructions for gcc, binutils, gdb and newlib for the ARM7 core used in the case study project; prototyping techniques using a custom printed circuit board; debugging tips; and portability considerations. The accompanying companion website contains all the code used in the design examples as well as useful open-source tools for embedded design.
·A wealth of practical tips, tricks and techniques

unfortunately YES. islam sets no minimum age for marriage. another flaw in the "perfect" religion. an 8 year-old girl in yemen just died on her wedding night from internal bleeding. in 2010 the grand mufti of saudi arabia was quoted as saying it would be a sin not to allow 10 year-old girls to wedding.

sometimes it is translated as corruption. it means you spread bad things. you try to get muslims to go against their religion. you might want to be careful, muslims have killed for less. remember theo van gogh. my he rest in peace.

"Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood." (The Noble Quran, 17:23-24)"

scanner help
I have Epson 4490 scanner that is connected to one computer running windows 7.In the same room I have another computer using windows xp.I want to be able to use the scanner on both.I have tried to install the software on the xp one,but it will not open the scanner.Just says it cannot be started.Is there a way to share the scanner between the rwo,or how can I get it installed on xp?
|My System Specs

windows 7
see the two drivers that are competing with each other. Uninstall the driver that isn't working if that is the case. Click on the scanner driver and see if it is working properly. Before you do this, be sure that the USB cable is connected and the scanner is turned on.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. (On both machines)
I don't know if this works in XP, but this comes from "Help & Support" in Windows 7.
Install a scanner
There are two ways to install a scanner in this version of Windows. The method you choose depends on whether you want to connect the scanner directly to your computer (called a local scanner), or use a scanner that's shared on a network.
Installing a local scanner
Most scanners sold today connect to your computer with a universal serial bus (USB) cable. But don't plug it in yet! Some scanners require you to install driver software before connecting the USB cable, so always follow the setup instructions that came with your device.
If your USB scanner didn't come with specific setup instructions, plug it in to your computer and Windows should automatically install it. If it's an older model, you might have to install it manually. For instructions, see Working with the Scanner and Camera Installation wizard.
Installing a network scanner
Network scanners are typically found in the workplace. Before you begin, it's helpful to know the scanner model and manufacturer name.
The bold & underlined part is the important bit, I guess. I will try to find more info in XP, I suggest you look in Help on the XP machine.

text: Well in my investigation into smocking I took your advice and started perusing the art books from that era and discovered that the Mona Lisa is wearing a dress with what looks like a form of smocking. If you can get a close up view of her dress you will see at the top of the neckline the outline or stem stitch, a pattern stitch that looks to me like it was couched on or else was part of the imagination of the artist, then another row of stem stitch and then below it a pattern stitch that definitely crosses underneath one pleat and comes up and connects to another pleat. This is smocking I believe. I am going to get my magnifier out and look closer to see how it was accomplished. Might be the Italian shirring in action, sure looks like a cord that has been applied but the criss crossing under and over a pleat is definitely a form of smocking.

Here at the Brind School we are hard at work getting ready for our next production on our main stage Spring Awakening. Our dramaturg on the production, Aria Velz (Directing, Playwriting and Production, '14), has written some insightful program notes that we would like to share with you to get you ready for this terrific production. Tickets may be purchased at tickets.uarts.edu. Enjoy.
But there's no where to hide from these bones, from my mind
It's broken inside - I'm a man and a child
So sings Melchior Gabor in a murmur, caught in the crux of adolescence and adulthood. LikeMelchior, the young people in Spring Awakening are deliberately misinformed, lied to, or ignored, not taught the lessons of adulthood and its consequences. Yet these children are held accountable, expected to never ask questions yet denied their right to know the nature of their desires. Based on German dramatist Frank Wedekind's revolutionary play, The Awakening of Spring, the musical Spring Awakening made its premiere Off-Broadway at the Atlantic Theatre Company in 2006, one hundred years after the premiere of The Awakening of Spring in 1906.
However, the fact that they premiered one hundred years apart was not a clever marketing hook or artistic homage by Spring Awakening's creators or producers, but rather a testament to the timelessness of the issues raised in The Awakening of Spring and the urge to constantly challenge social norms as we move into a new century.
Spring Awakening follows the topics its source play challenges, which are surprisingly, or just unfortunately, common throughout Western history: Sexual repression, suicide of youth, disenfranchised homosexuality, child abuse, just to name a few. Wedekind had a keen sense of society's pressing issues and the effectiveness of the cycle of oppression. His young characters try to break out of the mold of an oppressive German Imperialist culture, yet simultaneously push each other out of fear. But though we see through the eyes of children, he does not make the adults villains; they are trapped also, pawns in a larger, antagonistic system designed to make a regime out of every community and a solider of every individual.
Similar to the expectations his characters faced from their community, Frank Wedekind himself was a middle-class man unable to match expectations set by his father to be a lawyer. Though Wedekind did go to law school, he was dissatisfied with the lifestyle and dropped out, and his father subsequently disowned him. Wedekind then participated in a number of occupations - journalist for a magazine, secretary for an art dealer, and even an accountant for the circus - and in those numerous jobs he became acquainted with art and the artists' community. The Awakening of Spring was his first play, and after writing several plays that challenged Germany's sexually repressive society, most notably what are known as The Lulu Plays, Wedekind struggled with constant censorship by the German government, which considered Wedekind's work anti-German. Indeed, he understood the challenges of speaking out against an oppressive society, but was able to slip through the cracks that many of his characters could not avoid.
The Awakening of Spring finally premiered in 1906, ten years after Wedekind finished it, and produced by a reparatory company he founded himself. Critical response was polarized, to say the least. Some critics and artists lauded the play for its evocative subject matter and its seething critique of German middle-class and oppressive environment, while others found the play to be abhorrently pornographic and anti-German. This reputation of the play followed it across countries and continents. Even in the the United States, where freedom of expression is constitutional guarantee, The Awakening of Spring was subject to extreme censorship. In 1917, the play endured a grueling legal battle when a production was mounted in New York City; the Commissioner of Licenses was attempting to shut down the production altogether until a New York court gave an injunction to ensure that the play would premiere - for one single matinee with a limited audience. In fact, the first completely uncensored production of The Awakening of Spring was not until a very highly praised production at the National Theatre in Britain in 1974, nearly seventy years after the play first premiered.
All of the controversy does not just attest to the piercing themes of The Awakening of Spring, but they also distinguish Wedekind as a dramatist, to being a man who was, indeed "ahead of his time." In fact, it may be an understatement. Wedekind's work was a precursor to several artistic movements of the era, from Expressionism to Modernism, and he is considered one of the founders of modern drama. Like Van Gogh in painting, Wedekind is synonymous with the Expressionist theatre movement, although not by definition an Expressionist artist. While Realism sought to recreate something as true to life as possible, and Impressionism's goal was to create an individual perception of the subject, Expressionism's intent was to proclaim the artist's emotional experience with the subject, rather than the artist's impressions of the external world.
Wedekind's works, along with the work of August Strindberg and Oskar Kokoshka, are considered precursors to Expressionist theatre movement. Our particular production found great inspiration in the Expressionist elements of the musical, and seeks to find a fluid connection between the Expressionistic qualities of the music and the conflicted drive of the drama.
One of the Expressionist qualities of The Awakening of Spring that was never seen before was its episodic play structure. No scene directly follows the other; the play instead moves non-linearly, giving a general landscape of the world of the characters, reducing them to archetypes rather than three-dimensional characters so as not to focus on their individual struggles, but to identify the problems they face as a class, as young people in a rigid world. Along with his unique play structure and style, his overt political themes inspired many theatre artists to achieve new types of theatre and new implementation of old styles. Among the many artists who were influenced by Wedekind, Bertolt Brecht, founder of Epic Theater, cites him as his greatest inspiration; Brecht even attended Wedekind's funeral. He wrote in his diary that Wedekind was, "a ringmaster in a red tail coat, carrying whip and revolver, and no one could forget that hard dry metallic voice, that brazen faun's head with 'eyes like a gloomy owl' set in immobile features."
All of these innovations led to the creation of Spring Awakening, which seeks to honor the structure, style, and messages of Wedekind's original. First conceived in the 1997 at the Eugene O'Neill theater, lyricist and book writer Steven Sater wanted to create a musical adaptation of The Awakening of Spring, finding an operatic quality in the play he found worth cultivating. A few years after Sater and songwriter Duncan Sheik created some concept demo songs, much of which was cut or replaced, they quickly created a musical that would marry Wedekind's poetic dialogue with modern, alternative rock music. The reverberations of Wedekind's poetry is constantly heard in the lyrics, each song intermixed with anachronistic phrases. In Spring Awakening, the songs explode through the dialogue, and become the only opportunity for the characters to unleash their repressed thoughts and desires. The songs add on to Wedekind's original play, amplifying the characters' wants and their relationship to the world around them as they cry out to have their questions answered and longings quelled. And perhaps, in these songs, we may hear our own questions crying out.
The Brind School recently presented the premiere of a new play, Self:Same, by the Irish playwright Ciana ni Chuirc, directed by DPP senior Brey Ann Barrett, at Theatre Exile's Studio X. This project was the fruit of a friendship that began during the semester that Brey spent at Trinity College Dublin, where she met Ciara and commissioned the script from her. The playwright (on the left in the picture below) wrote this brief reflection on her experience working with Brey (on the right) and the other Brind School students involved in bringing her play to life:
I was only in Philadelphia for a short time, but it strikes me as a great city for budding theatre-makers and artists. Working on Self:Same with Brey was a real pleasure, and it was lovely to do so in a city filled with so many supportive and talented people. Writing can be quite isolating, especially in Ireland, where we have a long history of brilliant writers who are noted for their solitude (Joyce, Synge, Beckett, Kavanagh, Yeats…and on and on). I don't think isolation is always a bad thing, but I found collaborating with Brey, and with the cast and crew of Self:Same, to be a wonderful learning experience, and I certainly discovered more about the piece while watching it and listening to it than I did writing and re-writing it.
I believe one of the primary functions of theatre should be to bring people together; whether it be a character and an audience member, an actor and a director, or, as in my and Brey's case, a director and a playwright. Theatre is at its best when it's a living thing, and in working on Self:Same with Brey, I felt that the play was something that was growing and transforming as time moved along. Collaboration helps you become the best writer you can be, because it gives you the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them - when you know someone is going to be pointing out your errors, you become less obsessed with perfection the first time round.

The newest round of grants from the Jim Henson Foundation has just been announced, and the Brind School is prominently featured among the recipients. Lone Wolf Tribe, a troupe founded by Brind School alum Kevin Augustine, is the recipient of a $5,000 project grant for "The God Projekt," while Brind School faculty member will receive a $2,000 seed grant for "The Body Lautrec," a new piece he is developing with Philly actress Mary Tuomanen. Cromie has taught puppet-making and puppet theater skills (as well as Neutral Mask and, currently, Clowning) for the Brind School, and his production of "The Blue Monster" (which he adapted and directed) was a highlight of our season three years ago. A Brooklyn-based artist, Augustine brought his work "Hobo Grunt Cycle" to the Arts Bank in Philadelphia two years ago, and his work as a master puppeteer includes engagements at the Metropolitan Opera House. Congrats, guys!

A new musical featuring book and lyrics by Yasmine Lever and music by Stew and Heidi Rodewald will be one of the works featured in the second annual New Play Festival to be held at the Ira Brind School of Theater Arts at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia early in 2013. The authors of a new play and a new musical will be in residence at the school for two weeks in January to develop their work, giving student actors and dramaturgs the opportunity to experience first-hand the process by which new work is developed. This year, the Brind School received nearly two hundred submissions for the festival, and Assistant Professor P. Seth Bauer and students in the Brind School's Dramaturgy class reviewed the submissions and selected the finalists.
The musical CRUSH and the play A FRONTIER, AS TOLD BY THE FRONTIER will be the featured works in this season's New Play Festival. CRUSH, a new musical with book and lyrics by Yasmine Lever and music by Stew and Heidi Rodewald, is a star-crossed love story set against the backdrop of race riots in contemporary London. A FRONTIER, AS TOLD BY THE FRONTIER a play by Jason Gray Platt, is a dystopian fantasy about a group of four orphaned children and their caretaker, among the last bastion of a population torn by civil war, who inhabit an abandoned government-run theme park.
Public presentations of CRUSH will be presented on Friday February 1 at 7pm and Saturday February 2 at 3pm; A FRONTIER will be presented on Thursday January 31 and Saturday February 2 at 7pm. All performances will be held in the Philadelphia Arts Bank, 601 S. Broad St., on the University of the Arts' campus on the Avenue of the Arts in Philadelphia. Visit tickets.uarts.edu or call 215-717-6450 for reservations.
Program notes for our upcoming production (opening October 11), penned by our estimable theater historian, Dr. Mari Kathleen Fielder
Oxymoron: does the term apply to "free man of color"? In formulating America, two minds coexisted. One championed unilateral liberty. Jefferson declared, "All men are created equal." The other condoned the economic practicality of human slavery based on race. Slaves, of course, ran Jefferson's bucolic Monticello. The free man of color perched on the threshold between the two points of view, dangerous to both as living proof of the impossible contradiction.
John Guare's 2010 drama Free Man of Color tackles the conundrum in a play within a play format. We meet Jacques Cornet, the son of a wealthy white father and a black mother, a prosperous businessman (of decorative wrought iron) in early nineteenth century Creole New Orleans. His father has set him free and deemed him his heir. Jacques has blossomed into a European-styled dandy, priding himself on extravagant style and wit. He is the very definition of entitlement – as well as self-absorption and self-importance. To memorialize himself, he is composing his own autobiographical drama.
Assistant Professor Seth Bauer's play "Iphigenia" has just been featured in a new book by Dr. Helene Foley, Professor of Classics at Barnard/Columbia entitled REIMAGINING GREEK TRAGEDY ON THE AMERICAN STAGE. Seth says, "I did several interviews with her some years ago and she attended a production of my play in New York which opened on the day the US invaded Iraq. Like other New Yorkers, I was shocked that the tragedy of 9/11 could be used as grounds to wage war in another country; it was that frustration that led me to write my own adaptation of the Greek play."
Director David O'Connor will be directing Seth's version of "Iphigenia" at the Annenberg Center this fall, and Seth has been invited to join the ensemble and write some new work for them. Meanwhile, Seth is also developing an adaptation of "Lysistrata" for Simpatico Theater Company this fall. The Ancient Greeks continue to inspire many theater artists like Seth!
"UArts' undergrad ensemble exceeds expectations with Lisa Dillman's well-crafted drama about women coping with diagnoses of madness. Meaghan O'Hare fascinates as Carrie, a writer investigating historical atrocities represented by 1880s Jane (Mary Beth Shrader) and 1920s Alice (Tess Kunik), unfairly institutionalized by controlling men. She also copes with her mother's (faculty actress D'Arcy Webb) mental illness, befriends unstable Lucy (Merri Rashoyan) and fears her own instability. Amy Feinberg's has put together a smart, beautiful, involving production; Sarah Ganek's terrific multilevel set is expertly lit by Rachel Sampley; and students give mature performances playing extremes that would challenge any professional actor."
A collaboration LIPA / UARTS
Friday, 25 May 2012
Johnnie Hobbs, Jr., Associate Professor of Acting in the Brind School, provides these notes on a recent collaboration between the University of the Arts and the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA). This "Phillypool" international interdisciplinary collaboration project is now in its third year.
The LIPA visit to Philadelphia took place Friday, April 6 - 15, 2012. At the conclusion of the LIPA ten day International Interdisciplinary visit to the University of the Arts, the anticipation of our trip to Liverpool, UK to further our investigation of devised work became a palpable thing, All of the sessions in Philadelphia under the primary leadership of LIPA faculty members, Stephen Buckwald and Brendon Burns, generated a great deal of excitement and at the same time presented the challenge of both groups' desire to integrate the diverse disciplines assembled for the project. The disciplines included: Animation, Musical Composition, Choreography, Communications, Graphic Design, Live Instrumentation, Movement, Multi-Media and Theater.

Bagua Circle Walking, the Single Palm Change for Fitness, Health and Meditation at Moving Arts Base Centre
From to
Classically, bagua is learned alongside fundamental qigong training, initially, to generate a fit and healthy body. Later, as the art developed to realise the teachings of the I Ching (Book of Changes),
\nbagua--with its Circle Walking and short palm changes--can become a form of moving meditation. The Bagua Single Palm Change is the focal point of all bagua training in the monastic and martial traditions. It is not only the first palm change in the sequence of eight, but has the capacity to hold the entire energetic and internal content of the whole bagua system. The Single Palm Change is both where you begin and continuously return to in bagua. Single Palm is the link to experiencing the real flavour and essence of bagua training.

|This article may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling. (August 2014)
|Look up boutique in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
A boutique is "a small store that sells stylish clothing, jewelry, or other usually expensive things".[1] The word is French for "shop", which is drawn from the Latin term Greek ἀποθήκη (apothēkē), which means "storehouse".[2][3]
The term "boutique" entered into the everyday English language in the late 1960s when, for a brief period, London was the fashion capital. Carnaby Street and Kings Road (London) were the focus of much of the media's attention for having the most fashionable boutiques of the era.[4]
This term can also refer to a specialized firm such as a boutique investment bank or boutique law firm. The word is often used to describe a property in the independent section of the hotel market (such as The Rockwell in London) in order to distinguish itself from larger chains (such as Hilton Hotels). In such cases, the establishment aims to convey the idea that its operation is elite and highly specialized.
In the strictest sense of the word, boutique would be one of a kind. However, more generally speaking, some chains can be referred to as boutiques if they specialize in particular styles.
Recently, the term "boutique" has begun to be applied to mass-market items that are either niche or produced in intentionally small numbers to be sold at very high prices. This can be referred to as boutique manufacturing. For example, before the release of the Wii, a Time Magazine article suggested that Nintendo could become a "boutique video-game company", producing games for niche audiences rather than trying to compete directly with Microsoft and Sony.[5]
Although some boutiques specialize in hand-made items and other unique products, others simply produce T-shirts, stickers, and other fashion accessories in artificially small runs and sell them at high prices.
In the late 1990s, some European retail traders developed the idea of tailoring a shop towards a lifestyle theme, in what they called "concept stores",[6][7] which specialized in cross-selling without using separate departments. One of the first[when?] concept stores was 10 Corso Como in Milan, Italy, followed by Colette[8] in Paris and Quartier 206[9][10] in Berlin. Several well-known American chains such as Urban Outfitters,[11][12] D-A-S-H, and The Gap,[13] Australian chain Billabong and, though less common, Lord & Taylor, adapted to the concept store trend after 2000.

MOHAWK VALLEY -- Roadways throughout the state are in extremely poor condition with the harsh winter weather to blame.
But, state lawmakers say additional funding has been included in this year's budget to help fix the potholes and other road damage.
In addition to the $438 million in funding through the state's Consolidated Local Highway Improvement Program, the state will also be providing a onetime $40 million fund.
Joseph Griffo, (R) Senate-Rome said, "It will flow in the same manner as we do CHIPs right now so all the communities will have an opportunity to have access to have some of that funds to deal with some of the unique conditions that cause road problems over this winter."
Overall, the final budget includes nearly $4 billion in funds for capital improvement projects, including aviation, rail, non-MTA transit and bus services.
