Dutch studio Triumph is reviving their Age of Wonders series of TBS/RPGs with plans to release Age of Wonders 3 this autumn, according to Eurogamer. The report is a bit vague, saying an OS X version is also planned, and "may" coincide with a Windows edition, and it's possible a tablet edition will also be made. There's also a bit of mystery about who is behind this, as there will not be a Kickstarter, and they are planning on unveiling their "big partner" for this in the future.

The 8th House
by Dana Gerhardt
Writing about the 8th house isn't easy. "After all," says my friend Geraldine, "who truly feels comfortable talking about their experiences of love, death, and sex outside the privacy of personal conversation?"
The 8th comes up in most of my astrology consultations. But usually I'll enter through a side entrance, discovered in the course of conversation, without announcing I'm going in. I'll step out just as gingerly. This is the house of secrets after all. It rules sex, other people's money, taxes, debts, loss, and death. As a beginning astrologer, it's easy to be intimidated by this house. Planets in a solar return 8th can make you quiver. Transits to the 8th might suggest years of calamity and doom. Over time, however, this knee-jerk fear gives way to deep respect. Survive an 8th house transit and you'll be reborn. Valuable lessons will be learned. Eventually you'll regard the 8th as a kind of spiritual master who only shatters you for your higher good. Your ego holds no dominion here. In this house greater forces run the show.
It's difficult to talk about the 8th, but we all know 8th house territory. From childhood onward, we crawled through this archetypal jungle on our knees. There was that mysterious tension in the air whenever your Aunt came to visit. Or how, with a single word, your grandmother could turn your dad into a child. It was the odd feeling you got when your uncle invited you to sit on his lap. The 8th carries your psychological inheritance—the potent invisible currents that no one talked about. Here were the electric fences strung across the rooms when your parents argued about money or sex. Here too was the power of your mother's purse, full of mysterious totems and the smell of money. Maybe you tried a few magic spells to make it come to you. But mostly you were under others' spells here, shaped by rituals and defense mechanisms absorbed without your comprehension—your father's deep self-loathing, your mother's rage, handed from female to female down your family line. In later years, perhaps when a transit touched this house, such legacies might be painfully stripped away. Buried 8th house secrets might suddenly spring to light. This is the house that keeps the therapists in business.
Transformations here aren't always bad. The 8th describes important sexual initiations. A financial inheritance or an insurance settlement could be indicated by the 8th. Also your first joint bank account, loan approval on your first house. If you practice divination, the 8th can help you answer questions like "Will I get Aunt Melanie's millions?" But if you're a counseling astrologer, you'll likely be working with the part of this house that's known by feelings more than words, the unspoken contracts, the irrational fears, the pull of the past, its compulsions and obsessions.
Like the 7th, this is a house of "others." In the 8th we can be rocked by our relationships—into desire, anger, ecstasy, insecurity, or greed. If the 7th house describes relationships forged through equality, in the 8th house we suffer (or profit from) relationships based on inequality. When others enter the intimate waters of this house, they get some power over us. Whether it's the bank, our parents, the IRS, our sexual partners, even a stranger who happens to push our buttons, and let's not forget the scythe-master Death—through the 8th we become painfully aware of forces beyond our manipulation and control. In our struggles here, how should we proceed? Most journeys here require a guide. Along with unflinching, courageous "awareness," "surrender" is the most useful 8th house word.
I remember a client who used to call me every couple of months, always with the same question. Her progressed Moon was in the 8th house. "Is it over yet?" she wanted to know. Rebecca was nervous about spending money; she told me she couldn't afford a session. She just wanted to know which day the Moon would be out of the 8th and into the 9th. Because I'd told her this several times already, I knew she'd dialed me up for another reason. She needed to talk. There were no tangible crises going on in her life, but ever since the progressed Moon had entered her 8th, she'd been suffering from anxiety and depression. The 8th, writes John Frawley, can show "fear and anguish of mind."1 Especially with the progressed Moon in this house, the mind can become one's own worst enemy, particularly when it resists the call to either get help or let go of an attachment.
Rebecca lived alone. Her husband had died years before. Her daughter wanted her to sell her house and move to a seniors condominium complex. That meant she'd have to go through all her old possessions, including her dead husband's things. She'd have to say good-bye to her garden and her trees. She'd have to deal with loan officers and real estate agents. She'd have to meet new people who might not welcome her. She didn't have the heart to face any of this. She avoided the decision and tried to go on as usual, which meant she would call me every few months, in tremendous pain.
The 8th house can describe the monsters hiding in our closets. I'm thinking of Mercer Mayer's children's book by the same name (There's a Monster in My Closet). A little boy hears a frightful noise, and night after night, quaking in fear, with a flashlight ready, his toy soldiers gathered around him, he barricades the closet door. His fear only grows bigger. Finally he decides there's nothing left to do but face the beast. The monster is big and scary, but in a surprise turn, the demon goes jelly-kneed and begs to crawl into bed with the boy. The same can happen with our own 8th house monsters. Our fears want comforting so they can dissolve. But if we refuse to face them, their power only grows. To deal with 8th house feelings, we may need a "Charon" (the mythological guide who ferries souls across the river Styx). Our Charon could appear in the form of a therapist, an astrologer, or a friend who's been there before. But if, like Rebecca, we stubbornly resist help or change, we will never claim the healing power that lies beneath our fears.
The progressed Moon finally entered Rebecca's 9th house. Six months later I heard from her again: "Is it over yet?" she moaned. Nothing had changed. She was still debating whether to sell her house, worrying about all the work it would take, fearful that she wouldn't be happy in new circumstances. Even though her progressed Moon had entered the more spacious territory of the 9th, Rebecca still wasn't free. She had never opened the door and released the monster from her closet. For the two years of the Moon's progression, she had steadfastly refused to surrender her old life. That meant a new one couldn't be born.
The last time Rebecca phoned, she had finally put her house on the market. I never heard from her again. I like to think this means she finally sold her house, cleared her psychic closet, and began to enjoy a new adventure in the 9th. There's a saying among astrologers, "It's a transit; it will pass." The suggestion is that when the planets move on, so will we. But if we resist the work required, especially in the 8th house, we might remain there long after the transit has moved on.
We can resist the 8th—but we can get mired there too. This heavy house can draw us down like quicksand. My friend, astrologer Lucy Pond, tells a story about one of her clients, Linda, who got stuck in the 8th when Jupiter transited there. It wasn't until Saturn came along that she woke up. Traditional astrology says Saturn is the ruler of this house. Saturn in his home territory can act as a karmic cop. If we've been evading our responsibilities—material or metaphysical, he will bust us. Lucy describes it this way: "Saturn in the 8th house is the bill collector. What is hidden will be flushed to the surface—even if that is your own lost self." The following story is in Lucy's words. She wrote this for a previous TMA column of mine on the 8th house.2 It's worth reprinting.
A couple years after Linda started working with me, she announced she had taken my advice and found a good therapist; they were dealing with her repressed memory syndrome. She was remembering having been raped by her father and her two brothers, a recollection that threw her into a tailspin. Transiting Jupiter had just entered her 8th house—a good time to delve into the secrets from the past, especially deeply buried secrets. Pisces was on Linda's 8th house cusp and repressed memories seemed to fit with her style of dealing with intense emotion. I shared my findings and encouraged her to stay with her therapist.
As the years moved on and Jupiter entered her 10th house, therapy became Linda's identity. She had recalled the exact details and circumstances of all her rapes. Though seemingly cut off from the real world, she formed friendships with others in the incest survivors group. She was devoting more and more time to counseling and almost completely stopped working to pursue what seemed a virtual addiction to therapy. She had passed beyond the door of the 8th house, but seemed to be stuck there emotionally.
As Linda's astrologer, I was often frustrated with her obsession with the past. Regardless of how I encouraged her to be in the present, she translated all astrological information as an opportunity to go deeper into the past. I reminded her that she was living through the rear view mirror—that she had no idea where she was, or was heading, only where she'd been. There was no "present time" in her life. And because I believe astrology is best used as a tool for living more fully in the present, I felt futile as a resource.
Several months ago, on the event of transiting Saturn conjuncting her 8th house cusp, Linda asked my astrological advice on falsifying some federal assistance papers. To remain on the public assistance program that allowed her to pursue therapy rather than working, she had to swear that she received no outside money. We both knew this was untrue; for the past four years her father-perpetrator had been quietly sending her money.
Among the many meanings of the 8th house is taxes. Frequently, when transiting Saturn is here, a person is audited by the IRS and financial secrets are brought to the surface. My advice to Linda was "No, don't do it. Don't risk being audited, as you could very possibly be caught."
The next time Linda walked into my office, she was a strikingly different person. She was finally and quite clearly in present time. Rather than her usual wounded and hidden presence, she seemed fully alive. I could hardly wait for her to sit down. "What's going on with you?" I asked. "You look better than you have in years."
Linda told me she was being audited by the federal agency that had been providing her benefits—that the agency did not believe she could exist solely on the monthly stipend they were sending her. The agency was contacting her neighbors, her landlord, even her parents to discover how she had made financial ends meet. She was possibly going to be charged with a felony—no joking matter.
Linda was frightened, and with good reason. Yet I was amazed at how whole she now seemed. No spaced-out lost soul here. Linda was scared, but fully awake. I asked about her various therapies. She said she had cast them all aside. "That's over. I don't need that anymore. I want to get a job, make some money, and start paying the government back." What a response! She was starting to reclaim her life and live in present time.
The 8th is the house of death. It might seem paradoxical that in this house we can renew our life; yet there is a connection. According to the Buddhists, nothing gets our spiritual priorities straighter than death. "Keep Death to the left," the shaman Don Juan advised Carlos Castanada. Acknowledging death can be a powerful means for moving us into present time. Almost universally, those who've suffered near-death experiences report that it blessed them with a keener sense of life.
Modern and traditional astrologers disagree on death's importance to this house. Dane Rudhyar suggests this meaning is overrated.3 As spokesman for the traditional view, John Frawley argues otherwise: "In any astrology that purports to say anything of concrete and verifiable accuracy, the eighth is the house of death. This is not death in any poetic or metaphorical sense, as some modern authorities claim. This is death in the very real sense of someone no longer being alive."4
That a person will die is one prediction we can make with full accuracy. The trick is nailing when. Recently I heard the story of a woman who visited an astrologer and was told her death was imminent. She was thrown into turmoil. When the time passed and she didn't die, she was relieved, then mighty angry with the astrologer. Last week a dear friend confessed that on her recent trip to Nepal a palm reader had told her she would die in five years. Choking back tears, my friend asked if I saw the same thing. I checked her chart. I saw nothing remarkable and she was relieved. Still I wondered, if the time came and I was wrong, would she go hurtling through the afterworld mighty mad at me?
Frawley suggests that modern astrologers are squeamish about giving their clients anything but happy news. Traditional astrologers were more practical: it was pointless to predict a client's Wednesday if by Tuesday he'd be dead. To locate the time of death, Frawley suggests looking carefully at the 8th house cusp and ruler, also the condition of the 8th in the solar and lunar returns. It's true that most modern astrologers haven't developed this technique. Rarely does "Timing Death" appear on conference schedules. When I ask my astrology buddies their means for timing death, their responses are as vague as mine. The mother of one of my astrologer friends had terminal cancer. We looked at possible times for her inevitable death. We suspected it would happen the year Pluto squared my friend's Moon, but her mother ignored the transit and continued living.
Perhaps as the Buddhists say it is enough to know that we will die, even though the time is uncertain. In the meantime, when my clients show an 8th house emphasis by transit, progression or solar return, I've found it useful to suspect that "something" in their life will die. However poetic and metaphorical my view, it's also practical; the majority of my clients survive these transits and gain new meaning from them. You'll have to decide for yourself whether we moderns are dumbing down the tradition or expanding the symbols to speak to a contemporary culture's needs.
Planets in the 8th of a solar return can signal a year of crisis or instability. There may be a significant lifestyle change, difficult adjustments to a divorce, a move, a new job. An emphasized 8th in the solar or by transit or progression can indicate a death or emotional crisis for someone close to us. Often our own ego gets a traumatic hit, suggesting it's time to let go of some notion it holds about itself. Recently my friend, astrologer April Elliott Kent, posted an article on her website about Saturn transiting through her 8th house. "Saturn," she wrote, "is stomping through my eighth house like Godzilla humbling Tokyo, holding up a mirror to my trembling second-house natal Saturn with its many insecurities."5 The 8th house rules our partner's money; April's husband was currently without an income. Together they owed the IRS a chunk of change and although their stock portfolio wasn't dead, it was on life support. They also became victims of credit card fraud. "Really," April wrote, "eighth house transits don't get a whole lot worse than this. It's enough to make you want to… take a nap. And drink heavily."
April emailed me the day after posting her article. "I just received the most mind-blowing email I've ever received from a reader, accusing me of writing only about '(my) life, (my) house, (my) husband' and 'suggesting' that I return to a more 'generic' approach (when did I ever have that?!). You can imagine my reaction, and my response... I'm considering writing an addendum to the article with this extra illustration of the Saturn opposition at work. Second house Saturn: 'You think you're no good, unworthy, your ideas unacceptable?' Eighth house transiting Saturn: 'Well, you're RIGHT!'"
Here's where it's helpful to know astrology: April could lay down and die or recognize something else needed to die. "And that's exactly what's coming out of this," April emailed the next day. "It's like a whole lifetime of people picking at my creative efforts with their 'who do you think you are?' attitude is bubbling up and I'm just standing there and saying, you know what? This is bullshit!" Not all 8th house deaths are bad. Because of her courageous awareness, April's insecurities tumbled under the Grim Reaper's axe.
"The idea of sex as an eighth-house activity is quite horrific," writes John Frawley.6 Sex in the traditional system is located in the 5th house. I'm inclined to agree. But I have noticed that for the month the Sun passes through the 8th each year, my clients report having the most amazing sex dreams. Or they discover an unusual jump in phermones making them more attractive to the opposite sex.
Fifth house sex is joyful and full of pleasure. In the traditional view this is Venus' realm. This is a house of play and sex is a great way for adults to play with each other. But 8th house sex is different. It's more complicated and mysterious. It's the kind of sex Pluto had with Persephone (Pluto rules the 8th in modern astrology). When the 8th is activated, we might identify with one or the other. We could feel possessive and on the prowl like Pluto. Or be innocently picking flowers like Persephone, heading for a big surprise. As either character, we'll land in a bed from the underworld.
Eighth house sex is the kind husbands hide from their wives. Or it's the kind couples argue about, "I want sex this way… I need it so many times a week." This power struggle extends beyond sex and into everything: "I hate your mother… I don't like the way you spend money." Eighth house sexual struggles are the ones that appear on Oprah and Dr. Phil. But in the myth, we never get a picture of what Pluto does with Persephone. When myths draw the curtain on certain scenes, it's a clue that experiences here are wildly varied, and that each one of us must navigate this passage on our own.
Yet we can't leave the 8th without hearing at least one sex tale. This one comes from Bronwyn Elko, another astrologer who contributed to my previous 8th house column (when Saturn was in Pisces). One of the things I especially enjoy is how it proves that even grim Saturn can have a sense of humor. I leave you with her words.
After I lost my virginity I wrote in my journal, "Today Peter and I made love. Phosphorescene bloomed into visions. Now I know there is a God!" Sacred sex is my religion, a portal to mystical ecstasy. Never mind the mucky consequences of spiritual pride bound up with intimacy, "healing through sex," sacrifice as power, and other Pisces/8th house delusions. Some part of me stubbornly believes that the "universe of yoni" (Hindu for vagina) receives a divine spark from a man's lingham, or "wand of light." The stir of sticky fluids is nectar from the gods which acts like a drug.
All my life I've spontaneously hallucinated during lovemaking. It's as if other worlds breach the surface of our skins. It sounds crazy, but the universe once enfolded my lover's eyes and biological time flowed backwards into alien landscapes. With natal Neptune in the 3rd, these visions fuel my fantasy fiction, which is interesting in light of recent events.
Saturn entering my 8th unearthed subterranean Pisces when I became passionately involved with a man whose physical condition prohibited sexual intercourse! Devastated but determined, I vowed to stick it out. The more I "sacrificed and suffered" the worse things got. A power struggle ensued wherein we fought to change each other's values. Threatened by his nihilistic vision, I promptly donned savior robes in a hopeless attempt to "redeem" him, the hidden reflection of my own denied cynicism.
My Aquarius on the 7th was hopelessly "hooked": the guy is the brilliant writer my Saturn in the 3rd yearns to become. But Saturn transiting my 8th forced back the projection in the most painful way possible (via Neptune square natal Neptune in the 3rd). Can you guess what Piscean currency his Promethean spirit "stole" from me, the coin Charon demanded I pay in exchange for trying to import his brilliance? In short, the whole episode resulted in a crippling block which denied all access to imagination. I felt dead for months.
But that wasn't all.
Shortly after our breakup I overheard two women talking about him at a writer's party. "Oh," said the blonde, "his writing's so passionate." The other blew a smoke-ring and replied, "Yeah, he must be great in bed!"

Police arrested a man and woman and recovered a stolen SUV on Tuesday afternoon after the couple reportedly stopped off at a local gas station.
The 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe was reported stolen Monday night from in front of a Broadway residence.
TAUNTON — Police arrested a man and woman and recovered a stolen SUV on Tuesday afternoon after the couple reportedly stopped off at a local gas station.
The 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe was reported stolen Monday night from in front of a Broadway residence.
Police said they were able to track it down the next day at 1:45 p.m. after a caller alerted them to the general direction in which the vehicle was heading.
Taunton Patrolman Shawn Smith said he spotted the SUV parked at a pump at the GeKo gas station at 229 Weir St. with its motor idling and a man sitting in the driver seat.
The man, later identified as 29-year-old Jeremiah Rhodes of 819 County St., was escorted to a waiting patrol car. Police said a computer check showed that his driver's license was suspended.
Police also said they found ¼ gram of cocaine wrapped in foil in a Newport cigarette box inside the Santa Fe.
A woman later identified as Valerie Resendes, 27, was allegedly walking toward the vehicle but quickly turned to walk back to the gas station building when she caught sight of police.
Police said Resendes falsely identified herself as another Taunton woman but then admitted her true identity. They also said they found a hypodermic needle in her purse, which she'd left inside the vehicle.
It turns out Resendes, whose recent addresses have included residences in Taunton and Fall River, had an outstanding warrant out of Taunton District Court for skipping a probation violation hearing related to a conviction in 2012 for assault and battery and malicious destruction of a motor vehicle.
She was arraigned Wednesday and sentenced by Judge Thomas Finigan to four months in the house of correction minus 24 credit days served.
Rhodes was charged with receiving a stolen motor vehicle, possession of cocaine and driving on a suspended license. He was held in lieu of $7,500 cash bail and is due back in court Aug. 1 for a pretrial hearing.
Finigan, in setting bail, noted that Rhodes has two open cases out of district court in Fall River and prior convictions with time served in state prison for controlled-substance violations in both Plymouth and Bristol counties.
Police said when they contacted the Taunton woman who reported the SUV having been stolen, she insisted that she neither takes illegal drugs nor smokes Newport cigarettes.
She allegedly also stated that her husband, the vehicle's registered owner, has not recently had access to the vehicle because he is currently incarcerated.

Speaking of which, how are you enjoying your CoD: BLOPS? I really enjoyed the story, despite its action-movie influence, but found a lot of the missions to be a bit sub-par on the design side. Too many infinitely spawning enemy fights for my taste. The multiplayer is more of the same. I think I like it more than MW2, but not as much as CoD4.

Retired Navy Cmdr. Mary Jennings Katschke, a University of Central Oklahoma alumna, recently established the Virginia Peters Endowed Scholarship in the College of Education and Professional Studies to honor her mentor and friend, Dr. Virginia Peters.
Peters, a member of the UCO Foundation Board of Trustees, was a standout UCO student athlete before joining the faculty in 1958. She both taught and coached at Central for 34 years, retiring in 1992.
While Katschke was a student at UCO, she admired Peters's dedication to her profession.
"When I first came to Central in 1961 as a freshman away from home for the first time, little did I realize that Virginia Peters was only eight years my senior. Her maturity, wisdom, humor, leadership abilities, energy and sincere interest in each of her students and athletic team were improbable for someone her age," said Katschke.
The Virginia Peters Endowed Scholarship will be awarded in 2014 to a full-time undergraduate student majoring in physical education or health, with a 3.0 grade-point average.
To ask questions, contact Judy Reyes-Henderson, development manager for the College of Education and Professional Studies, at email@example.com or 405-974-2763.

Picture the scene: it's three in the morning and I'm in pain and wide awake. Tim Piggot-Smith has failed me – for once even his dulcet tones reading David Starkey's Monarchy: The Beginnings haven't lulled me to sleep. Neither has a podcast of a lecture from the wonderful Dr. Stuart Lee on Anglo-Saxon History – my other failsafe. I'm at my wit's end.
Suddenly there's a crash, a bound, and a superhero comes flying through the bedroom window and lands on the bed with an enormous thump. Yes, it's The Grey Shadow, feline super-hero extraordinaire, to the rescue. A lick, a purr and I'm already feeling better.
Soon the gentle sound of purring has done the trick and I'm fast asleep.
I wake up at around 5:30 and The Grey Shadow has mysteriously disappeared. My ankle's in agony. Why? Ah yes – Enormous Cat is fast asleep on top of it. I wonder where The Grey Shadow went? He would have been far too considerate to sleep on my ankle.
Thanks to Wren at The Rheuma Blog for reminding me about this incident with her post on wee beasties! What would we do without them? I'd far rather put up with the discomfort of the occasional sore ankle than not have these nocturnal visits from my superhero at all!This is enormous cat. You can tell it's not The Grey Shadow, in spite of the general similarity in colour and size. The Grey Shadow wouldn't be seen dead on a pile of washing!

Enormous cat is lovely! When I'm at home with my family, the cat and dog can always make me feel better.
Your pre-bed listening also sounds great. Last night I read a National Trust Tudor Cooking book my parents brought me back from England before bed. It's a great book, and very relaxing, too.

Duke (21-4, 9-2 ACC) received a bye in the first round of the tournament, while the Wolfpack (20-9, 5-6 ACC) advanced to Friday's quarterfinals with a 4-0 win over No. 11 seed Boston College on Thursday. The Blue Devils edged NC State in a 4-3 decision in Raleigh during the regular season.
The doubles matches were tightly contested on all three courts Friday, but Duke took a 1-0 lead in the match with victories on courts one and three. The 15th-ranked duo of junior Henrique Cunha and sophomore Chris Mengel used an early break to earn an 8-6 victory over NC State's Julian Sullivan and Dominic Hodgson at the top spot. The Blue Devil pair improved to 16-7 overall with the win.
Senior Torsten Wietoska and freshman Raphael Hemmeler fell behind the Wolfpack's Dave Thomson and Sean Weber early on court three, but rallied to take five straight games and fend off three match points on their way to a 9-7 victory. The win secured the doubles point for the Blue Devils while moving Wietoska and Hemmeler to 11-4 on the season.
"Especially in the tournament format, it's always nice to get that first point," said head coach Ramsey Smith. "Doubles was tight. We did a good job taking care of business at one ... Three did a great job of just hanging in there and competing."
Duke carried that momentum into singles play, posting first-set victories on all six courts. Hemmeler was the first Blue Devil to close out his match, going up early in both sets on court five to dispatch the Wolfpack's Robbie Mudge, 6-1, 6-1. Hemmeler has now won eight consecutive matches in singles play and owns an overall mark of 23-10.
Fellow rookie Jason Tahir followed suit minutes later, cruising to a 6-1, 6-0 win against Ivan Sanchez-Gomez of NC State on court six to extend Duke's lead to 3-0 in the match. Tahir joined Hemmeler in picking up the first ACC Tournament singles victory of his career while pushing his overall singles record to 23-8.
Cunha, ranked fourth in the nation in singles, clinched the 4-0 victory for the Blue Devils with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Pulgar from the No. 1 position. Cunha improved to 34-7 overall and posted his 20th victory of the season from the top spot.
The remaining three singles matches on courts two, three and four were abandoned with Duke leading on all three courts.
"NC State's a good team. They competed hard," Smith said. "Once we loosened up, in singles, I thought we played excellent at all six spots. I'm really happy we were able to get off the court pretty quickly and we'll be ready to go for tomorrow."
The Blue Devils now advance to Saturday's second semifinal match, where they will meet second-seeded and 18th-ranked North Carolina at 1 p.m. In the teams' regular season meeting in Durham last week, the Tar Heels edged Duke, 4-3, in a close contest that lasted nearly five hours. Duke and North Carolina also faced off in the semifinals of the 2011 ACC Men's Tennis Championship, with the Blue Devils claiming a 4-0 victory to earn a spot in the championship match.
Top-seeded Virginia and fifth-seeded Florida State will square off in the first semifinal match at 10 a.m. Saturday in Cary.
Live scoring and a live blog will be available for Saturday's match, which gets underway at 1 p.m. at the Cary Tennis Park.

That is beautiful! I wonder how dropping the sight and adding a black warp would look. It would be a Marker I would be proud to take to the field....
Thank you very much for the complement.
Believe it or not, I actually have use for the sight. I take it off sometimes, plus the sight rail, because it adds weight to the gun.
As for the warp, I have been contemplating on whether or not to get one, the only thing holding me back is the fact that it will add even more weight to the gun. My gun weighs about 9lbs. even without the sight and sight rail, and putting the warp would bring it to about 12lbs.! I'm not a big guy and a heavy gun slows me down.
I have not given up on the warp though, it might just be a matter of time.
Man that's a really nice E. Ohh I wish I had one myself. Where do people get the money for stuff like that.

The myths, magic and monsters of ancient Greek lore are coming to life in the BBC's new fantasy-adventure series "Atlantis" — from the unlikely setting of a former frozen-food warehouse in Wales.
A vast space once stuffed with supermarket foodstuffs has been turned into a television studio, filled with sets recreating the fabled lost city, complete with temples and terracotta-roofed houses, ceremonial bull ring and regal palace.
"Atlantis," which starts on BBC America Saturday, is already a sizable hit in Britain, where it fills the family-viewing weekend slot previously occupied by sword-and-sorcery series "Merlin."
"Atlantis" was created by some of the same team as "Merlin," and like that show takes age-old stories and seasons them with humor, thrills and a central bromance.
Actor Mark Addy, who plays a less-than-heroic version of Hercules in "Atlantis," says the recipe involves "a lot of heart and a lot of humor and a huge amount of action and adventure."
"They wanted it to be epic in scale and in feeling, and that's what they've managed to do," he said during a break on a busy day's filming in August.
"We're doing stuff that you'd only ever see in movies, because it's difficult and it's expensive and it's time consuming and it's challenging," Addy said of the 13-part series, shot over nine months in Wales and Morocco.
"Atlantis" opens with a young man named Jason — played by the strapping, curly haired Jack Donnelly — washing up in the city of Atlantis, disoriented but somehow instantly at home. The Oracle — there's always an oracle — hints at big secrets to be revealed.
Jason soon meets brainy, kindly Pythagoras. "The triangle guy?" asks Jason, and indeed it is the ancient philosopher and mathematician, here a young man played by Robert Emms.
The third side of the central triangle is Hercules, in the — perhaps surprising — form of Addy, the burly actor who played a steelworker-turned-stripper in "The Full Monty" and King Robert Baratheon in "Game of Thrones."
The casting is a sign of the show's flexible approach to the Greek myths. This Hercules has superhuman strength, but he's no bronzed muscleman.
"He wasn't strong because he went to the gym, he was strong because he was Zeus's son," Addy explained, reasonably. "Although he was a demigod, I think he's inherited most of his mother's mortal traits. He drinks and gambles and he's a womanizer."
The cast includes Sarah Parish as scheming queen Pasiphae, Aiysha Hart as comely princess Ariadne, and Jemima Rooper as Medusa — here a young woman who has yet to become the snake-haired gorgon of legend.
But the show rests on the three main actors, referred to collectively by their fellow actors as "the boys."
For the 49-year-old Addy, being one of the boys has been fun — even if hanging out with his 27-year-old co-stars makes him feel "very old."
He recalled nipping out for a cigarette during a meal with Emms and hearing a woman at the next table say "'Your dad's being very polite.' And Rob of course didn't disabuse her."
Such mix-ups probably ended as soon as the first episode of "Atlantis" was broadcast in September. The show is watched by seven million people a week in Britain, and a second season has already been announced. And Donnelly has become something of a heartthrob.
On set in August, Donnelly said the feeling that his life was about to change was "amazing and daunting."
"It's the best thing that's ever happened to me by a long, long way," said the cheerful actor, looking as bouncily indestructible as his character, who is required to battle bulls, baddies and Minotaurs on a weekly basis, clad in a fetching jerkin.
"The first few weeks I was terrified. I was just waiting to get fired. ... I mean, my last job before this was in (comedy show) 'Misfits' and I was wearing a white rabbit mask and I had no lines and no one saw my face.
"To go from that to this, I suddenly thought 'I'm not ready.' It has got slightly easier since then."
Emms has a longer CV, including major film roles in "War Horse" and opposite Julia Roberts in "Mirror Mirror." But he said he was also nervous — although that was offset by his family's delight at his new role.
"I've played ... some not very nice people, some weirdos," he said. "And my mum's like, 'I'm so pleased you're playing a nice person who doesn't kill anyone.'
"She always just wanted me to play a doctor."

Defendant's wife, 3-year-old daughter were in home when he tried to set fire to it, police said
A Taft man charged with trying to set fire to a house with three people inside it, including his 3-year-old daughter, will be sentenced next month after he entered a no contest plea to one count of arson.
Carl Lee Robertson, 47, was arrested on Dec. 17, three days after police and arson investigators said he doused the outside of a home on the 400 block of Church Street with gasoline with intent of burning the house.
Robertson's estranged wife and young daughter were in the house with a relative, police said.
When they smelled gasoline fumes, one man went out and saw Robertson pouring gas around the exterior of the home, Chief of Police Ed Whiting said.
Robertson fled in a car after being discovered, the chief said.
Police believe it was a deliberate attempt to kill the people inside.
"He made very significant threats to kill his wife and daughter," Whiting said. "He made the threats and then attempted to carry it out but he was interrupted."
Robertson is being held on $1 million bail awaiting a March 7 sentencing hearing.
He entered a no contest plea to the arson charge at a hearing on Feb. 5 in Kern County Superior Court.

I had plans on getting up at the crack of dawn and cranking out this Daily Dose by 9 a.m., but it didn't happen. In any case, here's what went down on New Year's Eve in the Association.
Jameer Nelson (hip) and Gustavo Ayon (thigh) were out for the Magic last night, but Nikola Vucevic went off for 20 points and a franchise record 29 rebounds in an overtime loss to the Heat. I had him in a couple weekly lineups and am sitting in first place thanks to Vucevic's strong play this season. Arron Afflalo went off for 28 points and a full stat line, and J.J. Redick had 23 points, five 3-pointers and five assists off the Magic bench. Hedo Turkoglu had nine points, eight assists and a 3-pointer for the Magic, and is worth a pick up in most leagues, although I imagine he'll struggle with his shot all year. With Ayon out, Andrew Nicholson drew the start and had 10 points in 17 minutes. He's a rookie and will continue to have some good and bad nights as long as Ayon and Glen Davis (shoulder) are out. LeBron James had 38 points and another fat stat line for the Heat, who should have been able to manhandle this Magic team without overtime.
Gerald Wallace wins the award for most annoying fantasy presence to end the year, as his guarantee to play last night ended with another DNP due to a lingering knee injury. Don't say you're "definitely" going to play, unless you're definitely going to play. I'm not going to complain too much though, as I'm going against Crash in my two most important leagues. One of those is League Freak, the league started by Rick Kamla, and I appreciated hearing him chatter about me on the Fantasy Insider show yesterday, which you can watch here, in the pickup/drop segment.
The Nets were a disaster last night and got blown out by the Spurs, as Deron Williams hit just 3-of-11 shots and the starters were benched for much of the second half in an ugly loss. MarShon Brooks welcomed the absence of Avery Johnson with 16 points in garbage time, and is worth keeping an eye on now that Johnson is no longer calling the shots in Brooklyn.
Josh Smith returned for the Hawks from a one-game absence with a hip injury and you have to give the guy credit. If he's banged up, chances are he's going to play. Hopefully you started him in your weekly leagues, as he went off for 17 points, four blocks and two 3-pointers despite sitting out for most of the fourth quarter in a lopsided loss. Lou Williams had 21 points and three 3-pointers on 9-of-16 shooting, while Al Horford was stellar with 18 points and 13 boards with the same shooting line as the Hawks were blown out by the Rockets.
Carlos Delfino went off with 22 points and six 3-pointers on 8-of-10 shooting, while Jeremy Lin, James Harden and Omer Asik all had nice games against the Hawks. Chandler Parsons had just four points on 2-of-9 shooting, which will tend to happen on nights when Delfino is doing his Larry Bird impression.
Rudy Gay was another New Year's Eve buzzkill after hitting just 3-of-17 shots and ruining field goal percentage for the week for many fantasy owners. He'll bounce back, but overcoming that shooting line is going to be tough. Mike Conley hit just 3-of-9 shots for nine points last night and shot 34 percent in December. He's a better player than that and should be a buy-low target in all leagues.
George Hill was another disappointment on Monday, as he was expected to play through his groin injury and then didn't suit up. D.J. Augustin started in his place and had 17 points, six dimes and four 3-pointers, and could be ready to take on a bigger role for the Pacers if Hill's groin keeps him out for a few games. Roy Hibbert was dreadful again after hitting just 3-of-11 shots, but at least had six boards and four blocks. If he ever starts making shots, he's going to be a beast.
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was another injury victim for the Bobcats due to being hit in the eye on Saturday and sat out last night. He's day-to-day. Jeff Adrien went off with nine points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in 23 minutes last night, but should return to obscurity once MKG is back.
Joakim Noah and Nate Robinson were awful for the Bulls, and are big reasons the Bobcats were able to snap their 18-game losing streak last night. Noah had two points, four boards and two blocks, while Nate hit just 2-of-11 shots in a start for dinged up Kirk Hinrich (knee). Both players will bounce back in their next one, and any time Hinrich is out, Robinson is must-start material.
Derrick Rose isn't "anywhere close" to playing, according to coach Tom Thibodeau, which falls in line with what I've been saying about Rose lately. Despite the fact I recently bought matching pairs of D-Rose Adidas kicks for my five-year-old son and I, the fact of the matter is I don't think he'll play in more than 20 games this season.
Carmelo Anthony practiced on Monday and is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Blazers. He's missed two in a row with his balky knee, but because he practiced on Monday, my guess is he'll play tonight. Amare Stoudemire should make his debut tonight, and should be owned in all leagues before it happens. Don't expect to see the "old Amare," but for a guy you likely picked up off the waiver wire, he should be pretty solid.
Rodney Stuckey is iffy for tonight's game with an ankle injury, and if he's out, I would imagine Will Bynum will have another big game for the Pistons, although Bynum was quiet in his last game.
Ricky Rubio is bringing me a ton of questions on Twitter due to his lingering knee and back problems, along with the fact that Alexey Shved, J.J. Barea and Luke Ridnour are all good basketball players. Those of you who waited on Rubio have to be disappointed with his lack of production, injuries, and competition for minutes. I have basically said he can be dropped for Isaiah Thomas. It's already January and we, as fantasy owners, can't wait forever for guys like Rubio and Ersan Ilyasova to get their act together. Kevin Love is a different story, as I plan on going down with the ship with him, but I just don't see Rubio ever being mobile and relevant enough this season to make him a must-start fantasy player. That team is too deep at guard and I'm just thankful I'm not sitting on Rubio in any of my 11 leagues. I do, however, own Love in my 30-team league, and that has been a disaster. My ship is sinking. As for Rubio, I'm not telling you to flat-out drop him, but if you have been feeling the urge and have your eye on a hot free agent, you have to think about whether he's worth hanging onto or not. Next year is a different story, but guys coming off knee surgery like he and Derrick Rose had don't normally go all Adrian Peterson on us, at least until the following season.
Wesley Matthews is supposedly going to play tonight and I put him in my lineup in a weekly league that I'm currently winning. Hopefully he makes it through all four games this week, despite his lingering hip injury.
Anderson Varejao is iffy for the week with his knee injury, but reportedly looked good in Monday's practice. If you're in a weekly league, I hope you benched him, and owners in daily leagues should keep a close eye on Rotoworld for his status on Wednesday.
Marcus Thornton is day-to-day with his sprained ankle and won't play on Tuesday against the Pistons. I wouldn't be surprised if he misses the whole week with his injury, but I'm going to hold onto him for now. And that's just one more reason that Isaiah Thomas should be owned and started in all leagues right now. I wouldn't be surprised if Thomas has the best week of his career this week, and the Kings go four times. Tyreke Evans (knee) and Aaron Brooks (ankle) are also injured and may not play, meaning Thomas should go nuts this week. As for Evans, I'm getting a lot of "should I cut him?" questions, and the answer is, 'it depends.' He's getting a second opinion on his bad knee and the Kings' rotation is already a mess. I don't own Tyreke anywhere, but if I had him in a daily league, my impatient self would have probably already dropped him. I'm not telling you to do the same in every situation, but if you think you'll sleep better at night without him on your team, you have to think about letting go.
Washington's Jordan Crawford sounds like a go for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, so get him in your lineup if you can. He missed his last game with a sprained ankle.
There are six NBA games tonight and you can catch the Clippers and Nuggets on NBA TV at 9 p.m.
Happy New Year!

Sophie Elbaz: Interior Geographies
The installation traces Elbaz's family's roots -- particularly that of her father and grandfather -- to Constantine, Algeria
Interior Geographies is shown in the exhibition rooms in the MAHJ's auditorium foyer. Divided into four distinct spaces and combining photographs, videos and family archives, it describes the process by which the artist has re-appropriated her family history.
The importance of the imaginary in the assimilation of inherited or reconstituted memories is primordial.
The evocation of family memory in the discourse of mourning or severance with the past often characterizes the vision of the second generation. Sophie Elbaz set out to understand why her grandfather chose to stay in Constantine (where he died on 21 December 1962, six months after Algerian independence), whereas his wife and three children left for France in the 1950s. The several trips she made to Constantine and Algeria gave rise to a complex, ecstatic then painful confrontation with reality.

It is with an entirely new vision, drawing on images from the past and those she created herself, that she is now expressing both her enchantment and disenchantment, the driving forces of a singular and extremely personal work.
The installation runs through January 27, 2013.
Elbaz writes:
In 2007, I went to Constantine in search of my Sephardic origins on my father's side. There, I made an initial, poetic film in memory of my grandfather, Jonathan Elbaz, and the Île fantastique triptych. Today, the reinterpretation of this material left in "limbo" and my family archives has inspired this photographic itinerary. From the need for enchantment to the evidence of disenchantment, it poses the question of our relationship with reality, memory and history, and our right distance from them.
The exhibition opens with the question of passed down identity and heritage. The second space, a kind of passage towards the other spaces, symbolises the relationship between the living and the dead, between memories and traces.
The third space deals with the idealisation of the rediscovered origin. A series of photographs reflects a totally projective perception of the city of my ancestors and the strange sensation of complete disorientation in such a familiar country.
The final section leaves us in the silence of ruins. At the end of the journey, the imaginary dimension is gradually effaced by the reality of Algeria today.

It was the first official meet in the new pool and Luther defeated Grinnell 194-105. The Norse won all but three events and because it was the first official meet, technically there were 16 pool records set this afternoon.
Multiple first place finishes were posted by Clare Slagel, Emily Anderson, Jackie Hughes and Zoe Johnson. Slagel won both the 100 and 200 backstroke. Anderson touched the wall first in the 50 and 100 freestyle, while Hughes did the same in the 200 breaststroke and 200 IM. Johnson won both the one-meter and three-meter diving events.
Lexi Scharmer, Emily Schroeder and Paige Anderson went 1-2-3 in the 100 fly. Erin Connolly placed first in the 100 breaststroke as did Elizabeth Reed in the 500 freestyle.
The Norse started and ended the meet with victories in the 200 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay respectively. Slagel, Connolly, Scharmer and Anderson swam the 200 medley, while Slagel, Anderson, Katie Storey and Connolly combined for the 400 freestyle relay victory.
The Norse will return to action one week from today when they will host Augustana-Rock Island and Simpson College. This triangular will begin at 1:00 p.m.

I just plain hate working. There I said it. It totally sucks. It leads me to wonder how much I can't stand work compared to other people. Sometimes I think I just can't deal with the fact that I'm going to have to work my whole life. I think if I just had more time off, I'd be more productive during the times I do work. I think the average work week should be 35 hours a week, that would be a good start. Would the economy just shrivel up instantly if we did that? I'm not sure I'd care too much, as long as I didn't have to work as much. I just can't accept the fact that such a large chunk of my existence is dedicated to doing something that SUCKS.
Have you ever just thought of how intensely you'd enjoy the next few hours if you just walked out of work?

Microsoft to Sell Surface Windows 8 Pro on Feb 9
Microsoft says that the pro version of its Surface tablet will be available to purchase Feb. 9 in the U.S. and Canada.
Unlike the previous version that launched in October, the "Surface Windows 8 Pro" will use the full version of Windows 8, which is compatible with programs that run on earlier versions of Windows.
The tablet will be priced starting at $899 for the model with 64 gigabytes of memory.
The price includes the Surface Pen, which allows users to write or draw on the device.
It does not include the Touch Cover keyboard, which sells separately for $120, or the Type Cover, which has depressible keys, for $130.
Microsoft hasn't released sales figures for the earlier version of Surface, which runs on Windows RT, a slimmed down version of the operating system.
RT only runs apps bought on the Windows store and a modified version of Office that Microsoft included with the device. The pro version of Surface does not come with Office installed.

i was merely stating that all boards do use some kind of switch filtering, typically in the board logic, and typically a delay. and if they didn't, then you would have one of those "dumb" boards, but in reality those kind of boards do not exist because, the gun would not function, because it would attempt to start the firing cycle with each trigger event. you can imagine how this would end. depending on the operation of the gun, it would be like short stroking a gun 5 or 6 times in so many milliseconds ... ew. it might manifest in the best case as bad efficiency and consistency, at worst, as chopping, clipping etc etc. again, depends on the function of the gun as well.
this was actually a major problem in the first generation of electronic guns, and why all of them, and all guns today, use some form of switch filtering system.

A young mountain lion trapped a woman and her dog in an outhouse near the Sunrise Amphitheater on Thursday morning for several minutes before wandering off, according to Boulder wildlife officials.
The 30-year-old woman and her dog were hiking off trail toward the amphitheater at around 10 a.m. when they saw the mountain lion about 3 feet away, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill.
The woman spotted an outhouse about 50 yards away and started to move toward it with her dog -- which was on a leash -- while making noise and raising her hands, Churchill said. The mountain lion backed up but still followed the woman to the outhouse.
The woman said the mountain lion stayed outside the outhouse for several minutes before leaving.
Wildlife officers were not able to locate the animal but did find tracks that confirmed a mountain lion had been there. The woman described it as a young mountain lion, according to Churchill.
Churchill said wildlife officers deemed the behavior of the mountain lion to be "curious" and not aggressive, and no action will be taken.
"This is a good reminder that this is the time of year when people tend to see mountain lions," Churchill said.
If encountering a mountain lion, Churchill said, make lots of noise, try to appear as big as possible and give the animal a way to leave.
"The woman did everything right in this case," Churchill said. "So all's well that ends well."

Dear Editor:
I couldn't agree more with both recent Letters to the Editor by John Amato and Wm. P. Frasca regarding the lack of preparedness and, in some cases, responses to Hurricane Sandy. We lost power for eight days and with no thanks to PSE&G, we finally got power back in less than three hours thanks to Duke Energy from Indiana.
Now why is it that they were able to locate and fix the problem that PSE&G could not? My Mom and I live on 73rd Street and were two of the 'lucky ones'. We had a neighbor directly behind us who did not lose power and kindly and generously allowed us to use one of their outlets as a lifeline... and a lifeline is exactly what it was. My Mom is 90 and thanks to Verizon and their infinite wisdom, we had no phone service even on our corded landline thanks to the geniuses who decided to take a time tested and proven way to communicate and say... no thanks, let's change that to a 12 hour battery back-up and leave people with no way to call for a fire truck or ambulance if, God forbid, needed. But thanks to the lifeline from our neighbors, we were able to plug in the geniuses battery pack and have a phone to use as most people now know your cell phone will be useless in a time of crises. Thanks Verizon... You know what? I'm no rocket scientist, but even I know that if my telephone/utility pole is sitting in front of my house, my landline should be working even if I have no electricity! So why did Verizon change this system for a battery back-up?
I am just grateful that we did not need to call anyone for emergency assistance but if not for our neighbors, it wouldn't have mattered. But that one lifeline gave us a way to have heat from a space heater for a few hours a day and a refrigerator for a few hours a day and a TV to watch to keep informed of just how pathetic the situation had become. Oh sure, I could charge my cell phone, but to what end? It didn't work anyway. I cannot stress enough our gratitude to our neighbors on 74th St (if they read this they will know who they are) and to several other people who are too humble to want to be thanked publicly. The people I do not wish to thank are Verizon and Public Service Electric and gas companies. Our hearts go out to those who lost loved ones and/or their homes or who are just still without power... it is unthinkable that this is even happening in the year 2012.
Come on Verizon, come on PSE&G, come on Congress and you other politicians who can't seem to agree on anything worth anything. Get your act together! People are suffering! When exactly did you stop caring?

More than traditional medical care
Hospice palliative care provides expert pain management, symptom control, emotional support, and spiritual care to patients and family caregivers when a cure is not possible. Care is provided by a highly trained team of professionals and volunteers.
Most hospice care in the U.S. is provided in the home - allowing people to be with their families and loved ones in comfortable surroundings at the end of life.
Research by NHPCO has found that 94 percent of families who had a loved one cared for by hospice rated the care as very good to excellent.
"Hospice makes sure that people receive comfort, love and respect during one of life's most significant experiences - the journey at life's end," said J. Donald Schumacher, PsyD, president and CEO of NHPCO. "The compassionate way that hospice helps maximize the quality of life is at the center of this year's hospice month theme."
DeVitto creates theme
The 2012 outreach theme for National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, "Comfort. Love. Respect." is based on the firsthand experience of actress and NHPCO Hospice Ambassador Torrey DeVitto who created the phrase for a T-shirt she designed for NHPCO and the National Hospice Foundation earlier this year.
DeVitto, widely recognized for her roles on the hit television series "The Vampire Diaries" and "Pretty Little Liars" has been a hospice volunteer for five years and became NHPCO's ambassador in 2011.
"As a hospice volunteer myself, I've seen firsthand how dedicated individuals provide companionship, support, and a shoulder to lean on at a time when it's needed most," remarked DeVitto. "I'm working to help younger people understand the value of hospice and hopefully to get involved as volunteers with their local hospices."
NHPCO offers six important reminders
"Hospice is not brink-of-death care intended for the last days of life only," stressed Dr. Schumacher. "Hospice care is most effective for patients and families in the final months of life when families can take full advantage of the range of services hospice provides."
Palliative care brings the same interdisciplinary team approach earlier in the course of a serious illness. Hospices are the largest providers of palliative care services in the country with many organizations working to offer a seamless continuum of care through the course of a serious illness.
Six important points to know about hospice:
1. Hospice care is usually provided in the home -- wherever the patient calls home.
2. Hospice cares for people with any kind of life-limiting illness.
3. Hospice is fully covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private health plans and HMOs.
4. Hospice is not limited to six months of care.
5. Hospice is not "giving up" ; rather the focus is on caring, not curing.
6. Anyone can contact hospice - so call your local program to learn if hospice is right for you or your loved one.
Information about hospice, palliative care, and advance care planning is available from NHPCO's Caring Connections at caringinfo.org or by calling the HelpLine at 800-658-8898.
Hospice of the Plains invites you to learn more about Hospice care by calling Hospice of the Plains at (970) 332-4116 or (970) 526-7901.

The combination of extended silences and intense competition can make spelling bees dramatic, but Leavenworth's River City Community Players are also hoping to draw on the contests' more humorous aspects in a new musical comedy.
The combination of extended silences and intense competition can make spelling bees dramatic, but Leavenworth's River City Community Players are also hoping to draw on the contests' more humorous aspects in a new musical comedy.
"The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" opens Friday at the Hollywood Theater. M.B. Hurst, a native of Wichita, Kan., and now of Kansas City, Mo., is directing the production, her first for the company. Having acted in other communities before family brought her to the area, Hurst said she was drawn to the caliber of the RCCP.
"Leavenworth has a really great reputation as far as being a good community theater with a great space and support as far as the board goes," she said.
"The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," as the title would suggest, centers on a countywide spelling bee and its contestants.
Hurst said she remembers participating in her own schoolwide bee and being eliminated on the word "flob," and added that the spelling side of the show is pretty similar to her experience, with some crucial differences.
"There's probably more singing in this one," she joked.
But Hurst said the script and characters take the sometimes eccentric qualities of real-life champion spellers and amplify them.
She said this musical is unique in its format — there are nine cast members, six of which are spellers. Each night, she said three additional spellers will be scouted in the lobby before each show from audience members to be brought on stage for the show. These impromptu cast members will be given their own words to spell and opportunities to ask for its definition, its use in a sentence and its language of origin.
Branson Bliss, who will play pronouncer Vice Principal Douglas Panch in the show, said the addition of the audience makes for an interesting on-stage dynamic.
"What makes this incredibly interesting and fun is the fact that you can't really rehearse and practice them like that," he said. "So you really just have to roll with the punches and see what happens and hopefully it's funny every night."
Raphael Tate, who plays spelling savant Leaf Coneybear, said the audience participation also draws the audience in.
"It brings more community aspect in," he said. "Some shows you go to see and you just watch the story unfold. But in this, it's like you're part of it more because someone from among you is up there. And not knowing what the heck is going on."
Around those audience volunteers is a colorful cast of elementary- and middle-school age characters played mostly by adults, each with their own unique story and quirks. Tate's Coneybear falls into a trance to spell and is dressed in outlandish clothing, including a sock puppet, cape and helmet. But he said he doesn't think Leaf is the most outrageous character in the production.
"This really isn't a show that has a lead," he said. "Obviously, there are people who stay in the bee longer because someone has to win, but every single character has their own story and they bring something special to the show."
The opening night performance of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" is scheduled for 8 p.m. Friday at the Leavenworth Performing Arts Center, 500 Delaware St. in Leavenworth. Performances are also scheduled for 8 p.m. Saturday and March 1, 2, 8 and 9. There will be a matinee performance at 2 p.m. March 3. Tickets are available for $10 for adults, $5 for those younger than 12 and $8 for those older than 62 years old and for groups of 10 or more, by calling 913-651-0027.
