THEATER; The Proles and Nobs Cavort in a Fresh 'Fair Lady'
By BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE
Published: May 6, 2001
LONDON— ONE representative segment of the British people leaps about the stage in colorful caps and waistcoats, bonnets and shawls, using pots and kettles as cymbals and making a triumphant clatter with the dustbin lids that, strapped to their feet, double as tap shoes. Another glides on in elegantly exotic Edwardian blacks and does a high-stepping trot that escalates into a stately canter, like a set of overbred ponies sedately flaunting their dressage skills.
It's hard to think of a more apt visual summary of the social schisms that inspired Shaw to write ''Pygmalion'' than the choreography that Matthew Bourne, the artistic director of Adventures in Motion Pictures, has provided for its musical spinoff. With Jonathan Pryce presiding, the acting in Trevor Nunn's revival of ''My Fair Lady'' at the National Theater is mostly top-notch. Lerner and Loewe's songs come wittily and hummably across the footlights. But when those gallumphing proles and race-going nobs get imaginatively physical, a fine show becomes irresistible.
Here is one answer to those Londoners who are wondering why ''My Fair Lady'' was staged in a government-subsidized playhouse rather than in the commercial West End, whose more upscale offerings currently include a scathing political satire called ''Feelgood,'' Kevin Elyot's new ''Mouth to Mouth,'' a fine revival of Ibsen's ''Ghosts'' and a transfer from the National itself of Joe Penhall's ''Blue/Orange.'' Should Britain's premier theater really revive a famous musical rather than something worthily antique, obscure and (preferably) foreign? Shouldn't the National rather than the less well-subsidized Almeida now be staging Frank Wedekind's ''Lulu''?
Well, when the show moves from the National's Lyttelton auditorium to Drury Lane in July, it is likely to earn the theater enough to give a year's run to the entire dramatic oeuvre of the 10th-century Saxon nun Hrotswitha. More important, the production achieves what Mr. Nunn's revival of ''Oklahoma!'' did two years ago: it brings freshness to a classic that retains point and punch today. As Mr. Bourne's dances emphasize, there is more energy and fun down in Covent Garden's vegetable market than up in the stands at Royal Ascot.
A contemporary Higgins would probably be a more embattled figure than he was in 1913 or even 1956, when Shaw's play and the musical, respectively, materialized. A recent British television advertisement showing an upper-crust Eliza being taught to forget ''the rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain'' and adjust her vowels to a goofy ''the water in Majorca don't fall like wot it oughter,'' emphasized that the new celebrities often seem to shun standard English. Yet maybe that makes the serious joy that Mr. Pryce's Higgins takes in his vocation more telling. He brings such weight to talking up the ''majesty and the grandeur of the English language,'' he might be a priest, not a professor.
Not that Mr. Pryce gives any sign of knowing that Higgins's religion will ever be in trouble. If he lacks the bachelor testiness that Rex Harrison brought to the task of remodeling a flower girl, he is just as entertainingly smug. Indeed, he is self-confident from the tip of his hair, which might have been groomed for entry in a show for prize Pekinese, to the tip of his ultra-articulate tongue. When he calls Eliza ''a squashed cabbage leaf,'' it is not a curt insult but an amiably uncontentious statement of fact.
And what of the flower seller who materializes in the spindly columns and arches of Anthony Ward's set and triumphs when they transmogrify into a ballroom? Mr. Nunn's Eliza, a young television actress named Martine McCutcheon, has persistently been replaced by her understudy, owing to an intransigent virus that may explain why her voice was a bit thin and shrill on opening night. But in some ways she is a more plausible Eliza than Julie Andrews or Audrey Hepburn in the movie, two women who were hardly the social counterparts of cabbage leaves, squashed or not.
Ms. McCutcheon, a Cockney who has starred in a soap called ''East Enders,'' combines coarse vowels, mischief and a truculent scorn for her ''betters'' with a touchingly dreamy quality when she sings of how luvverly it would be to have a room of her own.
By an ending he makes more ambiguous and less sentimental than he might, Mr. Nunn has given us a tale of two dreamers: one who yearns to teach the English how to speak; one who initially wants the economic gains posh English will bring her -- but hankers for respect and love.
Anna Friel, like Ms. McCutcheon, is mainly known in Britain as a television actress, but she impressed Broadway last year with her performance as the sexy waif in Patrick Marber's ''Closer.'' That success helps explain why Jonathan Kent has cast her in the title role of Frank Wedekind's far more challenging ''Lulu.'' Here is a woman so tantalizingly beautiful yet so characterless that heterosexual men and homosexual women all project their emotions and fantasies onto her. Indeed, she redefines the phrase ''drop-dead gorgeous,'' since she gives her first husband a heart attack, provokes her second into cutting his throat, shoots the third -- and proves equally fatal to the besotted countess who pursues her from Germany to Paris to Jack the Ripper's London.

Not sure if it's me, but I only seem to be able to create "Quick (301) Redirects" only.
From the documentation I've read here and in my dashboard relating to the plugin, I should be able to create more than just 301 redirects using this plugin.
I have tried looking for a way to include code of some kind or another to add to my links to make them open in a new window, but I am not a pro coder and can't figure it out. I've tried adding "#target=_blank", and a few other variations.
Please advise... All I want is for certain links like my social media links to open up in new windows/tabs rather than the same one as my blog.
FYI... I have like 5 redirects under "Quick Redirects", yet nothing under "Redirect Summary"...

Most inmates released from prison have a tough time re-entering society.
To help alleviate this, The Ark group created an 11-month program to help ease the transition.
The Ark provides ex-offenders with a place to stay, meals to eat, and assistance obtaining a job.
The non-profit group is preparing 30 men through classes and mentorship.
"When you sit still for so long the world progresses and you come out here and you wonder "What do I do?" That's a lot of the reason for homeless people and also re-offending," says Johnny Beauford, Ex-Offender.
The Ark hosts a car wash every Saturday to raise money to purchase another facility that will be used to house women.

There Is a Vibrant Market for Used (er, Vintage) 212 Phone Numbers
We bet this phone has a 212 number.
If you have an iPhone 4, you're sort of cutting-edge, but if you have an iPhone 4 with a 212 number, you're a walking statement of ironic cool, one toe in the future with a nod back to the landlines of yesteryear, because 212 area codes are the techy rich kid thing, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Journal's Metropolis blog spoke to several forward (backward?)-thinking young people whose attachment to the area code brings us back to the days of trying on our mom's '80s-style heels as a little kid. Here's a collection of 212 sentiments:
"I swapped my number to something new -- 646 -- to match my New York billing address, but I really secretly wanted a 212," says Foursquare co-founder, Naveen Selvadurai.
Ashley Granata, 29, the chief marketing officer at start-up Fashism, a fashion advice site, puts it succinctly: "212 numbers are the new rent-controlled apartments."
"Since your phone number is quite literally your calling card, those numbers can say a lot about you and connote a certain savvy," says Allison Mooney, a media and marketing theorist at Omnicom's MobileBehavior.
"On the tech scene, retro connotes authenticity," says Web content strategist Peter Feld. "And 212 means you're an authentic, old-school New Yorker. The irony is that 212 cell phones are a little phony, like fake vintage T-shirts. Real Manhattanites use 917 for their cell phones and 212 for their land lines."
Then, someone puts it all in perspective... "Physical talking on the phone is something old people do." Game. set. match.
The demand for 212 numbers is largely because they're all used up -- hence the reason we've advanced to 646, 917, etc. And when someone cancels a 212, it must be taken out of circulation for 60 days before it can be recirculated a/k/a adopted by a techy new kid on the block. This dynamic has led to a new business -- selling 212 numbers to trendy suckers for hundreds of dollars on sites like 212 Area Code, eBay, and Craigslist. Easy-to-remember numbers with double zeros on the end can cost over $1,000 -- justify it as you will, a piece of New York history or a big, fat money-suck.
But wait, what if the 212 number is 212-646-9170 -- is that steeply discounted? Or does it gush I

West Seattle, Washington
One of West Seattle's "gateway" areas is scheduled for some community TLC next weekend, and organizers – including community members, merchants, and Seattle reLeaf – hope you can help. Volunteers will gather in the lot between The Shack and Luna Park Café at 9 am for "weeding, cleaning up around the street trees, and spreading mulch. Come prepared wearing closed toe shoes and long pants. We'll provide tools, gloves, and instruction." They'll be working until noon – lots of time to go to West Seattle Summer Fest after that! Interested? RSVP here.
P.S. This is intended as the first in a series of work parties to get ready for a potential Neighborhood Park and Street Fund grant to revitalize landscaping in the area north of the business district, under and near the bridge. The community member who wrote the grant application, Roxane Rusch, says the work will include the weedy area along SW Manning.
FIRST REPORT, 2:02 PM: Just in: Deputy Hearing Examiner Anne Watanabe's decision on Luna Park Café owner John Bennett's appeal of a $500 citation for an A-frame sign. We first reported two weeks ago that he had been cited for the sign, after two warnings to remove it; city rules say business owners can only have such signs adjacent to their business, but his café is half a block away.
The complaint targeted a group of signs at Harbor/Avalon, not just Bennett's, we learned when he argued his appeal before Watanabe downtown eight days ago (here's our report). She said she'd have a ruling in a week or so, so we've been checking the city website, where it was posted half an hour ago (read the ruling here). Watanabe affirmed the SDOT decision to cite Bennett for the against-the-rules sign, but reduced the penalty from $500 – the fine for using right-of-way without a permit – to $250, the usual sign-citation amount, noting SDOT wasn't opposed to a reduction, since it was a first-time citation.
Examiner decisions are the final word so far as the city goes; to challenge a ruling like this, you would have to go to court. We're seeking comment from Bennett and will update.
ADDED 2:32 PM: Bennett tells us via e-mail that he'll decide next week what to do about it, adding, "I'm a little upset that the sign ordinances are selectively enforced. I also feel small businesses shouldn't have to pay heavy fines." (City reps said again in last week's hearing that enforcement is by complaint – there may be routine rule-breakers out there, but there's no enforcement unless someone complains, same as a variety of other non-criminal city code situations.)
(One month after Luna Park Café was cited for an A-frame sign here, apartment complexes from Columbia City and The Triangle were back)
By Tracy Record
West Seattle Blog editor
You might have noticed fewer advertising A-frame signs on streetcorners in recent weeks.
For a while earlier this year, it seemed every intersection in West Seattle had a cluster on weekends – mostly advertising the bigger new apartment complexes around town, even a building in Columbia City, six miles away.
Then the city cracked down and issued warnings – with one local entrepreneur as a sort of bycatch.
John Bennett, owner of Luna Park Café, got a $500 citation for an A-frame sign his restaurant had long placed at Harbor/Avalon/Spokane (same location as the top photo), half a block from his café, meant to catch the attention of people coming off the bridge to head toward the West Seattle waterfront.
He's fighting the citation and has an appeal hearing this week.
That's a quick Instagram-video spin (mouse over the image to bring up the "play" button) around the treacherous intersection of 30th/Avalon/Yancy/Andover. Busy road, many residents, south edge of the Luna Park business district, RapidRide stop steps away … dangerous whether you're on wheels or on foot. It's been a concern for many years – and now improvements are on the way. This came in from project manager Brian Glas at SDOT this afternoon:
Starting as soon as late March, crews working for the Seattle Department of Transportation will add a curb extension, curb ramps, a striped crosswalk, and a flashing crossing beacon at the intersections of SW Avalon Way, SW Andover St, SW Yancy St, and 30th Ave SW.
As I'm sure you know, this junction of intersections does not have a marked crosswalk across the SW Avalon Way arterial. Also, the current sidewalks do not have curb ramps that are compliant with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, making access difficult for people with assistive devices (such as wheelchairs, walkers, or strollers). Please see the map in the attached project fact sheet for more details about the planned improvements.
The contractor has not yet finalized the construction schedule, but we wanted to give you and your readers a heads up of some general construction impacts. Crews will need to temporarily close SW Andover, SW Yancy St, and 30th Ave SW at SW Avalon Way as they build the improvements. They plan to close these side streets on a rotating schedule, to minimize impacts. There will also be intermittent single lane restrictions on SW Avalon Way while crews are working. During these lane restrictions, a flagger will be present to maintain two-way traffic. As of now, we expect King County Metro routes will not be impacted. We anticipate construction will last approximately 6 weeks, though the paving work is very weather dependent. As we know more about the traffic impacts during construction, we will distribute construction notices door-to-door in the project area and to the project email list.
This project is part of the Pedestrian Master Plan, which aims to enhance pedestrian safety, comfort, and access in all of Seattle's neighborhoods. This project is also part of the Neighborhood Street Fund Program and was one of three projects the Delridge District Council submitted in 2015.
We also plan to send out project listserv email updates throughout construction. People can sign up to receive updates here.
Note that this does *not* include a signal, though one was decreed as "warranted" back in 2011 – before the signal was added at Genesee/Avalon nearby.
West Seattle's newest mural has just been finished. If you don't recognize the building via the telltale marquee – this is Shack Coffee in Luna Park, 2920 SW Avalon Way, where artist Jesse Link completed the mural less than an hour before we stopped by for a photo, according to Shack staff. Link's mural spans the north wall, along the parking lot that Shack Coffee shares with Luna Park Café. You've probably seen Link's work before; he's been featured at several West Seattle businesses during monthly Art Walks. Checking online examples of his work, you'll note that wildlife is frequently part of it.
West Seattle Crime Watch reader reports to share:
LUNA PARK TRUCK THEFT: Bob discovered this morning that someone had taken his white Chevy Blazer from what's supposed to be a secure garage at City View Apartments in the Luna Park area. License plate 105YGD – call 911 if you see it.
STOLEN PLATES: From Andi:
This morning I discovered someone had swapped my back license plate on my car with someone else's. I have reported them as stolen, so if anyone sees plates ASU6665 call the police. The ones they put on the car were ANK8876, and the officer said he recognized them from a call this morning. I live on Trenton & Delridge [map] if anyone saw anything.
This happens more often than you might think, so it's always worth a quick glance at your plates every time you go out to your vehicle, if it's parked outside.
POSSIBLE STOLEN BICYCLES: Two posts in the WSB Forums regarding bicycles –
**Vintage Puch bicycle found in a Westwood/Roxhill-area backyard
**Redline bicycle frame spotted in Admiral in unusual circumstances
HIGHLAND PARK MAIL THEFT: In the 9400 block of 10th SW (map), Fran A spotted several mailboxes open this morning, with mail littered on the street, including an envelope that was supposed to contain her husband's new driver's license.

Two years after opening its restaurant/lounge at 2940 SW Avalon Way in the Luna Park business district, Duos announced today that it's closing that part of its business, while continuing with catering:
Thank you for all the support and love you have shown to us here at the restaurant. We value the relationships we have built with you and we will truly miss seeing you. Our last day open will be December 20th, 2014 – Our two year anniversary.
The restaurant has become such a growing success for us and we were getting busier every day! It is such a great feeling to have a loyal support base and it made our decision that much more difficult. Unfortunately, we share this building with our catering department which has also grown substantially over these past two years. As a result, providing quality food for both the restaurant and catering has proven to be difficult and space has become limited.
Our business growth has been a blessing for us and it pains us to know the outcome of Duos' success means closing the restaurant. We will still have an active role in the community and continue to support and donate to the wonderful schools and organizations in the area. We will remain in this building, producing our great catered food and we will keep the space open as an event venue. We will be holding events at the space offering special menus, date nights, cooking classes, and fun wine maker dinners!
This was an industrial and then retail space until five years ago; Café Revo was the first restaurant there, in 2009-2010, followed by Avalon for a year, early 2011 to early 2012, and then Duos, which opened its lounge/restaurant in fall 2012.
Until 10 pm, whatever time you see on the clock at Luna Park Café is party time! Tonight's the night the café celebrates its 25th anniversary, not only by hosting diners and imbibers as it does daily/nightly, but also with entertainment including live bands:
BrittMania, one of two bands playing during the celebration, is a Beatles tribute band – and that has bonus significance tonight, since this is the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' 1964 Seattle Center show. (P.S. If you double THAT number, you'll get a century, which is how long it's been since Luna Park's namesake amusement park closed … read the history on the café's website.) Anyway, lots going on at the party, as noted in our preview of this very busy day.
This summer marks the fourth year that Luna Park businesses will throw a Block Party – it'll be on July 10th. That date also will be part of a new monthly event debuting this weekend: The Luna Park Street Market. On four Sundays – June 1st, July 10th, August 17th, and September 14th – the lot outside Ola (2942 SW Avalon Way) will "provide a fashion, accessory, music, shopping mecca," according to the announcement. While you're out and about this Sunday, you're invited to stop by between noon and 3 pm.
It was canceled fairly quickly, but it was so big that it caught a lot of attention, so here's what emergency-radio traffic said about that big callout at Avalon/Bradford this past hour, in the Luna Park business district near the West Seattle Bridge: Someone reported that people were coughing inside a Metro bus because of some substance someone released – possibly mace or something like it. A "hazmat multiple casualty incident" response, with many units, ensued, but didn't last long. Apparently the person who did it got off the bus, and the substance dissipated, and the bus continued on to 35th SW; no contamination was found. Seattle Police were reported to be looking for the person responsible.
Get over to the west side of Avalon Way south of the bridge right now and check out the third annual Luna Park Block Party – bigger than ever, with more businesses having opened since last year, among other reasons. One of them is Duos Lounge, which opened last December, and is serving up paella tonight, along with Spanish music:
Outside Ola Salon next to Duos, you'll find not only the My Violette retail truck, but also West Seattle Brewing Company, visiting from their brewery and future tasting room (reported here a year ago) in The Triangle. They tell us they're hoping to open to the public by October 1st. Back to tonight: The fun stretches northward from Ola and Duos, too, including face painting at Luna Park Café. It's all on till 9 pm.
Just noticed this on the Luna Park marquee while passing through that business district – its third annual Block Party is now set for three weeks from today. And now we have the official announcement, featuring some new partners this year:
Ola Salon in the Luna Park neighborhood of West Seattle will be participating in the 3rd annual Luna Park Block Party, which they are leading along with Luna Park Café, on Thursday, August 15, 2013 from 6:00 pm-9:00 pm. This year's party has more fun activities than ever, and will support two neighborhood nonprofits: Transitional Resources, a neighborhood mental health center, and Kitty Harbor, a cat rescue, rehabilitation and adoption center. Participants will also have a chance to get a preview of the new West Seattle Brewing Company's offerings.
We start West Seattle Crime Watch with word of a business burglary overnight. From Natalie at Ola Salon in Luna Park:
Hi there, I wanted to let the community know that Ola Salon in West Seattle was broken into and (burglarized) last night. All of our retail, equipment, cash, checks, two laptops and more was stolen. Everyone is safe; we just want to give the community a heads up and to be aware of a robber in the neighborhood. If anyone happened to see anything, please let the police and the front desk at Ola know immediately. Thank you! 206-933-6702
We have another reader report – this one from Mona, who says she ordered something because of a crime report- and now it has resulted in one:
I came home around 5:30 PM today and found (an) empty package on my doorstep which was supposed to have contained the stun gun flashlight that a WSB reader recommended in (comments on) this post. I already filed a report. This happened near 17th avenue SW and Cambridge.
Lots of time left to get to Ola Salon in Luna Park for Furry Faces Foundation's first-ever "Heels for Hounds" – not just a silent auction of some cute shoes (casual as well as fancy, as shown in the photo above), but also wine tasting, appetizers, and live music, all to benefit animal advocacy:
Ola's at 2942 SW Avalon Way.
After publishing the news earlier this week that West Seattle Helpline received a $10,000 grant from the RealNetworks Foundation, we found out Helpline wasn't alone: Transitional Resources, headquartered in the Luna Park neighborhood, has received one too. Above are TR's CEO Darcell Slovek-Walker and RNF's Kevin Johnson. A TR spokesperson tells WSB, "This grant will go so far in helping us expand our onsite chemical-dependency services to provide intensive substance abuse help to our clients. We are so happy to see their support for the organizations in West Seattle who are doing so much for the community!"
(STORY UPDATED MONDAY with planned days/hours)
It's been almost four months since Duos Catering moved into the former Avalon Restaurant spot at 2940 SW Avalon Way (as reported here in August). The owners said they planned to open a "neighborhood hangout" – and they're finally ready. Last night, during their "soft open," WSB contributing photojournalist Nick Adams stopped in, photographing both the small-plates food …
(Grass-fed beef sliders with applewood-smoked bacon, Tillamook cheddar, onion jam)
… and the people – here's co-owner Benjamin Jury checking in with guests:
More of Nick's photos ahead:Read More
We're on Avalon Way as its funky little business district opens its arms and its doors to evening visitors for the 2nd annual Luna Park Block Party. Top photo shows Sean Welch making a bowl at Avalon Glassworks, where you can enjoy some truly warm temperatures if you are missing true summer (don't worry, you can also stand by their ginormous fan and feel Seattle-cool). The block party's on till 9. Outside Java Bean Coffee, we spotted their long-famous red VW van:
Tonight's host business is Ola Salon a bit further south along Avalon Way, where Sid Law is serenading Block Party-goers:
And Luna Park Café promises free facepainting, though – thinking ahead to Saturday's West Seattle Grand Parade – we opted instead for a photo of "Bailey the Burger":
The Luna Park Block Party's on till 9 tonight.
Staci at Luna Park Café shared the photo of their sign – which is up in advance of the restaurant's 23rd anniversary this Sunday (March 18th). She says they're celebrating by offering kids free face-painting from 3-6 pm that day (Sunday). The café's history – including a photo of what the building held, long ago – is on this page of the LPC website. Staci also mentioned they're also celebrating St. Patrick's Day tomorrow (Saturday) with a corned-beef-and-cabbage special and green beers. (We've received word of a few other St. P's day specials we'll be offering, and they'll be in the Saturday daily preview – e-mail us yours if you haven't already!)
At Ola Salon in the Luna Park business district tonight, that's Tiann Stubberfield with the tweezers and Transitional Resources' Darcell Slovek-Walker (reclining) and Yemaya St. Clair. Ola and TR are neighbors – TR, which provides housing and other services to people living with "severe and persistent" mental illness, is headquartered just a few blocks south on Avalon Way. Tonight, Ola held a fundraiser for TR, including donating the proceeds from certain services as well as raffle tickets. Treats too, plus live music from West Seattle's own Sid Law:
If you missed tonight's event – here's how to help Transitional Resources. Meantime, still lots of chances for you to reach out and give this holiday season – we've got a special section, with both fundraisers and direct donation opportunities, on the WSB West Seattle Holidays page.
Several inquiries have come in about the police/fire response in the Luna Park business district. All we know so far is that an elderly man is reported to have suddenly collapsed, and medic crews have been doing CPR. No crime or crash – police told us they are there just to help make sure firefighters have the space they need to work. As you can see in our photo, southbound (uphill) Avalon is blocked at the scene. If we find out anything more later, we'll add it.
Assuming the weather gets better by tomorrow – latest forecast suggests it could – SDOT says the paving work on Avalon Way will continue, and may go into Wednesday as well. According to spokesperson Marybeth Turner, "Lane closures will not last long and flaggers will assist traffic through the work areas. Sidewalks will remain open."

My favorite blended scotch whisky. Very smooth.
Haig Dimple was named after the unique shape of the Dimple bottle. It was also known as Dimple Pinch in the USA. This rare grain blended scotch whisky is toffee and spice with and slightly citrusy. A little water can help to open the flavor. It is strong at first but quickly settling to a warm slightly smokey taste at the mouth with a slightly caramel taste with a hint of oak in the background. Two on the Pooka Scale. Highly recommended for special occasions. Slainte!
can this item be shipped to the u.k.?
Currently we do not ship Internationally but do check back with us early 2012. Thank you.
Technical Notes
This deluxe blend of exceptional distinction is found in the world`s most exclusive bars and elegant homes, enjoyed by those who appreciate rare quality. Pinch is the perfect international companion when friends meet in smart surroundings. In recognition of the consistent high quality of Pinch, the whisky was awarded a gold medal in 1987 in the Deluxe blended whisky category of the International Wine and Spirit competition.

The plan would have worked but Daredevil gets wind of it and crashes the wedding. While fighting Spot, Daredevil tries a "blind man's bluff" and explains to the group that Spot is working with an inside man. Daredevil then listens for someone's pulse to quicken and is able to point out Sal as the inside man. Sal tries to save his own skin by shouting that he'll tell the families everything and that Spot put him up to it, but before he can do anything Spot breaks his neck killing "Uncle Sal".

Some Lehigh Valley high school students have helped set the stage for Musikfest this year.
"To sit there and be like, 'Oh yeah, you're booking a band for Musikfest,'" said Sierra Stralo, a junior at Liberty High School.
Thirty five students from Freedom and Liberty High Schools are participating in a Marketing Musikfest course in partnership with ArtsQuest.
It's the second year the program's been offered.
"To engage the students in real life businesses practices, in booking concerts, and marketing concerts, and concert promotion," said Patrick Brogan, senior vice president of programming for ArtsQuest.
The course is offered in the spring.
Students work hand-in-hand with ArtsQuest.
"ArtsQuest staff go into the classroom and tell them what we do and then engage them in the process." Brogan said.
Students are split into groups and given a $250 budget to book an act and $100 for marketing.
Students looked through hundreds of acts and said deciding on one was easier said than done.
"A challenging experience, we had a lot of bands to look through," Stralo said.
It wasn't just about meeting budget guidelines and finding an act they enjoyed.
"It was very important to look at the demographic before we book a show. What genre of music they were playing, and what time, to make sure you're going to draw a crowd," Stralo said.
Both schools were responsible for booking four shows at Plaza Tropical.
Brogan said he's pleased with the lineup.
"I'm impressed. They brought people in from New Jersey, Illinois, Tennessee," Brogan said.
Students are now focusing on how to market and promote their acts.
"Now it's a lot of marketing, both schools have a Twitter, so getting all of our bands Twitter, tweeting about it, having ArtsQuest and Musikfest retweet it," Stralo said.
Stralo said the experience has will help her in her future career.
"It was a great chance to build connections and learning experience for something I want to do," Stralo said.
It's also a learning experience for ArtsQuest.
"Getting to dialogue in this way opens our eyes on how to engage them, their friends, and social networks," Brogan said.
Freedom High School booked the following acts for August 2:
The Blue Wave Theory-2:30 p.m.
Briar Rabbit-3:30 p.m.
Lines in the Sky-4:30 p.m.
Arc and Stones-5:30 p.m.
Liberty High School booked the following acts for August 9:
Grandpa Rage-2:30 p.m.
The Romantic Era-3:30 p.m.
Cedar Green-4:30 p.m.
Bushmaster-5:30 p.m.

Victorian police are looking for a man caught filming up

A woman has told police a man put his hand up the back of her
skirt at a Mt Eliza supermarket on February 16, before
removing it and apologising.

The man then followed the woman around the shop before
placing his hand up her skirt again.
He left after the victim confronted him.
Police believe the same man was involved in another incident
at a Frankston shopping centre on Cranbourne Road last year.
A sales assistant was working in a jewellery store on
December 2 when she was approached by a man.
He continued to drop things for her to pick up before she
noticed a camera in his hand, police said.
The man left the store when she contacted security.
He's been described as Caucasian with a slim build, about
183cm tall and aged between 23 and 30.

"Wreck-It Ralph"
Rated PG for some rude humor and mild action/violence
Runtime: 108 minutes
Release date: Nov. 2
Rating: Not up to Disney quality
Sometimes films get a lot of acclaim and it makes me scratch my head. "Wreck-It Ralph" is one of those films.
It just isn't worth the hype.
Wreck-It Ralph is a bad guy in the Fix-It Felix Jr. video game. But he's tired of being a bad guy and sets out on a quest to win a medal and be accepted by the rest of the characters in his game.
The characters travel in and out of games through the game's electrical cords through a transportation hub in the surge protector.
Everything goes awry when kids come into the arcade to play the game and "Wreck-It Ralph" is not there. The game is in danger of being unplugged, making the characters homeless.
The result is chaos and confusion throughout the arcade.
The concept is a very creative idea and anyone who played old-school arcade games in the 1980s will get a kick out of how they integrate the games.
But with a creative set up, the rest of the film plays out like the filmmakers didn't know what to do with the story after they created it.
The result was a massive fight between someone wanting to take over the video games and cyber viruses that could destroy all the games.
In the end, Ralph repeats a mantra of "I'm bad and that's good." While the theme of not being afraid to be who you are is a good one, the way it's presented has some problems.
But it also didn't seem to hold a child's attention. Kids in the showing I went to lost interest before the halfway point.
There is a lot of name calling and some rude bathroom humor in the dialogue.
Putting a movie on the screens with the Disney name on it isn't enough anymore. The past few Disney films I've seen have had creative premises but were not completely developed by the end. The idea generation is spectacular but the follow through is lacking.
Sometimes we also need to remember kid's can fall victim to marketing when choosing what film to see or like. If it has a toy line that goes with it and the TV says it is good, they will like it. If you don't believe that, and are from the 1980s, try watching a He-Man cartoon today and tell me it was quality entertainment or if we liked it because there was a toy line that went with it.
The film features the voices of John C. Reilly ("Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant"), Sarah Silverman ("The Sarah Silverman Program"), Jack McBrayer ("30 Rock"), Jane Lynch ("Glee"), Alan Tudyk ("Suburgatory"), Mindy Kaling ("The Office") and Ed O'Neill ("Modern Family").
I expected more from a Disney cartoon released near the holiday film season. I know I'm probably in the critical minority but "Wreck-It Ralph" didn't work for me.

The back story to this is a coworker didn't like the fact we were standardization on Enterprise Library Data Access Blocks because
- It required too many references in every project that needed database access
- We didn't need all the features it provided
- He thought the DbCommand / SqlCommand should be stored internally in the database objects, instead of having to let database build a sqlcommand and requiring the user to manage its state externally
- He didn't like that you had to specify the type when adding a parameter, he thought the overloads should infer the type for you. *Didn't like that Enterprise Library was generic for all databases, when our system was clearly only ever going to be Sql Server compatible anyways
I personally wanted to keep using enterprise library instead of his home grown solution, but it did cause me to ask some questions.
Why doesn't Enterprise Library or other Database Abstraction Layers provide AddParameter overloads for basic types?
"EmployeeID", DbType.Int32, 1);
What would be the reason, or some of the reasons why they don't just provide overloads for all the datatypes like int, instead of only taking an object and forcing the user to specify the type.
db.AddInParameter(dbCommand, "EmployeeID", 1);
Some reasons that I can think of are...
If you don't specify every single type mapping as an overload the following situation can happen.
Lets say you have an overload for int but not char
char c = 'R'
db.AddInParameter(dbCommand, "Initial", c);
The compiler will resolve the overload to int instead of char and throw an error because the stored procedure expeected the type to be char.
Another implication is that If I want to mock the Database class I now have a massive interface of overloads I need to implement instead of just one.
My other big question was..
Why does Data Access block require you to retrieve the command object, then pass it back in for subsequent calls instead of just managing its state internally?
using (var cmd = db.GetStoredProcCommand("AddEmployee"))
db.AddInParameter(cmd, "@Name", DbType.String, name);
instead of
using(var db = new Database())
db.AddInParameter("@Name", DbType.String, name);
I'm interested in seeing what you guys think.

The Conservatives are planning an assault on Labour's historic link with the unions by preparing to squeeze the levels of funding to the party.
They will open a second front in their confrontation with the unions by encouraging members to stop part of their membership fees being handed to the Labour Party.
Francis Maude, the Minister for the Cabinet Office, wants to end the practice of allowing unions automatically to include the additional cost of Labour donations in the overall price of membership.
Under Conservative plans, the portion of the membership that goes towards a union's "political fund" — the money

To be clear, I'm referring to the title tag, not the page title. I mean what appears in the browser tab when you hover over it, not the page headline.
This is what it looks like now: Events - Hidden Star Retreat
I want it to look like this: Events | Hidden Star Retreat
I've watched your tutorial videos, I've made modifications to the functions.php, but nothing is working. It's such a simple thing, yet I can't manage to get it to work.
Can you please help? Thank you!

It has been mentioned to me several times that if I am playing a class that can #twoweapon, then I should most definitely #twoweapon. At some point. In the future. However, I am not entirely clear on when this "future" is. Should I wait until I reach Expert in one or more weapon skills or should I wait until I can comfortably kill nearly everything I encounter and have a substantial supply of food (and therefore farm some earlier levels for weapon experience)?

Given this information, I would suggest that once you have your intended main and off-hand weapons trained to those skill levels and you have enough AC without your shield to easily withstand hits from monsters at your level, that is when you should switch to

About Forward Annual Sales Timeseries
This metric can be thought of as the expected future path of annual sales, based on analyst guesses.
It is a series of 2 estimates, looking ahead to the end of the current year and the following one. The series is based on estimates received from analysts polled by Zacks Investment Research on the previous business day.
Important notes:
1) Analysts are making guesses. While they generally become more accurate as they approach the reporting date, they do guess incorrectly. This can lead to large effects on the stock price when the true numbers are revealed.
2) Reporting dates are later than the actual fiscal quarter end date. Hence, estimates for the fiscal quarter end date continue to be issued after quarter ends until the company reports.
3) There are multiple sources for earnings estimates, and different providers will give slightly different "consensus" numbers.

I love the copy, the concept and the visual, but I similarly don't have any idea what Columbia sells that protects from the sun. This would DEFINITELY be a better ad for a line of sunscreen.

Visual is too much alike to ignore.

Copy? Always a discussion. But 3M is a pretty big company.
They, the agency involved, should know and try their best to avoid too many similarities.

Released: Apr 01st, 1995
Running Time: 84
Company: JM Productions
Cast: Sean Rider, Max Cady, Abbey, Rick Masters, Johnny Prober, Franco Armani, Arnold Schwartzenpecker, Tony Eveready, Dave Hardman, Alissa Blue, Ron Jeremy
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
A group of guys sit around outside and talk about blow jobs: how they like them, how girls do them, and so on. Then a group of girls talk about techniques for giving blow jobs while they eat pickles and hot dogs. The guys sound convincing, the girls don't. After a long discussion about oral sex, two guys show up at a girl's house. Soon, it's a ménage a trios with lots of oral, anal and vaginal sex (she never does get in a blow job, which is too bad). The trio is joined by another trio, and now we have two girls and four guys going at it. A third girl "hops right in." The oral attention remains one-sided (girl on guy), but everybody seems to have a good time. There's enough fucking, sucking and cum shots to satisfy any male group sex fantasy. If you like gang bangs, this one is okay.

Rising from her humble beginnings as a lost orphan, Lia is summoned to be Muirwood Abbey's protector and special guardian for Ellowyn Demont, the lost heir of the fallen kingdom of Pry-Ree. After the death of the ruthless king at the battle of Winterrowd, the great Aldermaston and Abbey leader calls on Lia to use her mystical talents to save Muirwood from two new threats - a vengeful queen accusing the Abbey of her husband's death and a deadly plague threatening to destroy the land.
Amidst the turmoil, a battle ensues, and soon Lia learns the world's magic has begun to falter. As a blanket of dread envelops the Abbey, hopes are tested, and Lia will be forced to come to terms with a secret that will change her life forever.

"the fun continues in a fast moving fantasy"
Narration is very well performed,with great voice variation between players. Keeps a good story moving with excitement that is not over played.
"I can't wait for the next book!"
This book is better than the first. It kept me in suspense the entire time. I can't wait for the next book!
So rich and deeply interwoven with symbolism and meaning. I very much appreciated the author's depth of knowledge and education into historic and legendary stories and texts so that he could draw from them inspiration and also make direct connections with their ideas and traditions. Great story, wonderfully told!!!
"Great writing and story"
I really like this writer's style. The stories keep me coming back for more, can't wait for the next one!
this book makes you hate characters you loved, love characters you hated, then vise versa. it develops relationships more and surprises you all the way to the very end.
I absolutely can't wait to read the third book and then the next trilogy
"Weak heroine"
A good story frustrated by a weak heroine. Story ever giving long expositions of her emotional reactions and thoughts. She cries constantly, and pathetically pines for a man who treats her like a dishrag. Same basic story could have been made much better if she had a little more toughness in dealing with emotional issues. As it is, you just want to throttle her and yell, "Show a little backbone, will ya?"
"Good read, love the language"
The Muirwood series is very well written. The sentence structure feels very medieval. The characters feel like real people, and Kate Rudd does a wonderful job giving each character their own voice. I have two small complaints. There need to be longer pauses when the author jumps to another time, and the Deus Ex Machina gets a little out of hand. Beyond that, and good story wonderfully read.
"Coming of Age Story"
First, I've listened to all three books in the trilogy, so this review covers all of them.
When I first read the summary for the first book I wondered why I had gotten it, but luckily it was a pleasant surprise. I'm usually not too fond of coming of age stories but this one was pretty good. The characters developments grow through the story. Even minor characters have depth to them. There's magic and action. I read some reviewers who said there was a lot of preaching and religious aspects but I didn't find it overwhelming or even really thought of this as a religious book, unlike some I've accidentally listened to. After all, the main character was raised in an Abby and the storyline is centered around them.
Lia starts out as a wretched (what we would call an orphan) in an Abby. We get to go along with her on her adventures as she discovers who she really is.
The narrator did an excellent job and added a lot to the story.
"The perfect sequel"
Ask yourself what makes a perfect sequel and this is it. The story is expanded, the world is expanded. New threats dwarf old ones. New and complex characters are revealed. Secrets are revealed. Answers to questions you've had, or didn't even know you had, are answered. You learn more and get involved more. This story, as in all great fiction, is rooted in reality and human emotions. It is well written and Kate Rudd does a very distinctive, outstanding job with a variety of both male and female voices. This book (the whole series) is a steal for the price. Highly recommended!
"a greate follow up"
it was a good number 2 and I look forward to read number 3 in this series,,

Sorry for the Noob question.
For some reason, when I upload an image, I can include the thumbnail and other sizes in my pages. But, I cannot add the original image. I get the red X icon.
Also, my page appears correctly in the Admin preview, but attributes like hspace and vspace do not carry from the viewer to the site.
Any ideas? The non display of the original image is very frustrating.

Your doctor will ask about any family history of Marfan's syndrome, as well as about any family members who are unusually tall and thin, whether or not they have vision problems. Your doctor also may ask about any family history of sudden death resulting from aortic dissection or rupture.
Your doctor may suspect Marfan's syndrome based on this family history and your physical appearance. The diagnosis can be confirmed if you have a history of ectopia lentis and also have a dilated aortic root (the first part of the aorta as it exits the heart) visible on echocardiography. Echocardiography is a painless test that uses sound waves to outline the structure of the heart and its major vessels. The diagnosis will be even more certain if you have other skeletal abnormalities (chest wall deformities or scoliosis), or heart murmurs due to aortic or mitral valve abnormalities. Genetic testing can check for specific chromosomal abnormalities related to abnormal fibrillin production.

How can I insert posts into a page on my website?
Instead of every post going to the blog, I need to post specific posts inside one page.
For example, I want to create a page about NY and all the NY posts to go into that page like a blog. And when you click into that page, its like you go into the NY website.
Here's is what I want to achieve: http://therealdeal.com/miami/
See my link please, I have the NY page already published: http://www.metrocitizen.net
