Memorize the Latin Mass!
by Kevin Vost, Psy.D.
In Memorize the Latin Mass! Dr. Kevin Vost harnesses the powerful memory methods of Sts. Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas to help readers learn and remember all the parts and rites of the Traditional Latin Mass as they delve deep into the meaning and history of each one of them, gleaned from the wisdom of the Church and her saints.
Crafted to supplement a Missal and to stimulate further reading, this book is a primer for readers, their children, grandchildren—and perhaps great-grandchildren—to help them come to better appreciate the beauty, sanctity, and mystery of the still enduring form of the sacrifice of the Mass that has nourished countless great saints for the vast majority of the history of the Catholic Church.
Here, in Memorize the Latin Mass! we focus entirely on the Traditional Latin Mass (also known as the Tridentine Mass of the council of Trent and Pope Pius V, the Gregorian Rite, the usus antiquior, vetus ordo, and the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite) with adapted text from Memorize the Mass! and a new Appendix on The Last Gospel. [Click on the map below to open an interactive, expandable version indicating precisely where the almost 500 churches in the United States celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass!]
Those who have read Memorize the Mass! will find much of the information in that book duplicated here. This more slender volume has been prepared for those who want a primer for themselves, their children, grandchildren—and perhaps great grandchildren, to help them come to better know and love still enduring form of the sacrifice of the Mass that has nourished countless great saints for the vast majority of the history of the Catholic Church.
This completely guided and illustrated tutorial in the Catholic Art of Memory will enable you to engrave each and every one of those rites upon the tablet of your heart, knowing them literally forward and backward, and loving the Latin Mass all the more for it!

"I wish I had had a copy of Kevin Vost's book when I learned the Traditional Latin Mass a year ago. I used many of the excellent books he cited, but his method of memorizing the Mass would have been most helpful. For anyone wishing to experience the deep beauty and solemnity of the ancient rite, I would wholeheartedly encourage them to turn first to Dr. Vost's book." – Msgr. Michael John Witt, rector emeritus of the Oratory of SS. Gregory & Augustine in University City, MO, and Professor of Church History at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in St. Louis, MO
Kevin Vost holds a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) degree from the Adler School of Professional Psychology in Chicago.
He has taught at Aquinas College in Nashville, the University of Illinois at Springfield, Mac-Murray College, and Lincoln Land Community College.
He has served as a research review committee member for American Mensa, a society promoting the scientific study of human intelligence, and as an advisory board member for the International Association of Resistance Trainers, an organization that certifies personal fitness trainers.
Dr. Vost drinks great drafts of coffee while studying timeless, Thomistic tomes in the company of his wife, two sons, and their two dogs, in Springfield, Illinois.

A Portrait of Muslim Americans
Highlights from the Pew Research Center report, Muslim Americans: No Signs of Growth in Alienation or Support for Extremism.
Muslim Americans: No Signs of Growth in Alienation or Support for Extremism
As the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks approaches, a comprehensive public opinion survey finds no indication of increased alienation or anger among Muslim Americans in response to concerns about home-grown Islamic terrorists, controversies about the building of mosques and other pressures that have been brought to bear on this high-profile minority group in recent years.
Continuing Divide in Views of Islam and Violence
The public remains divided over whether Islam is more likely than other religions to encourage violence among its believers. Currently, 40% say the Islamic religion is more likely than others to encourage violence while 42% say it is not. These opinions have changed little in recent years. But in March 2002, just 25% saw […]

Trenton Station Vineyard
Saralees's Vineyard
Ruxton Vineyard
Morelli Lane Vineyard
Goff-Whitton Vineyard
Trenton Station Vineyard finds its home on a small hillside parcel along the gently rolling hills of the Russian River Valley. Running north/south along the hillside, the vineyard enjoys northern sun exposure and the cooling summer coastal fog.
Set against a background of stately ancient oaks, Richard and Saralee Kunde chose this 275-acre site for its cool climate, rich fertile valley soil and rolling hills.
Ruxton vineyard produces truly unique site-specific fruit year after year. Planted in 1977 on an old prune orchard at 1000' elevation, the Ruxton Vineyard enjoys the gentle migration of the coastal fog during the warm summer months.
Established in 1995 and planted to Pinot Noir clones 115, 113 and Beringer in sandy loam soil, the Morelli Lane Vineyard finds its home at a 1000' elevation and only six short miles from the rugged and cool Sonoma Coast.
Situated just west of Highway 116 on the outskirts of the quaint little gown of Graton, the Goff-Whitton Vineyard was planted in 1999 in what was once a fertile apple orchard. Lined with whimsically tall and elegant eucalyptus trees, this vineyard exudes a majesty and grandeur all its own.

AISERA helps make businesses and customers successful by offering consumer-like user experience for support and operations. We have built the world's first AI-driven IT / HR / Cloud / Customer Support and Operations solution.
CloudEXPO Silicon Valley Exhibitor Directory was published on May 1, 2019. Here's the link to the page which is being updates daily.
Ten Tips on How to Maximize Your @CloudExpo and @ThingsExpo Sponsorship Benefits
@CloudEXPO and @ExpoDX, two of the most influential technology events in the world, have hosted hundreds of sponsors and exhibitors since our launch 10 years ago.
In this blog post, I provide 10 tips on how our sponsors and exhibitors can maximize their participation at our events. But before reading my top 10 tips for our sponsors and exhibitors, please take a moment and watch this brief Sandy Carter video.
"Cloud Expo was really the event to connect with thought leaders, innovators, business folks who are interested in what the cloud can bring to their business. You know really how it allows them to bring the transformation of the business process."
Sandy Carter
1) Sponsor and Exhibit in both New York and Silicon Valley
@CloudEXPO and @ExpoDX New York and Silicon Valley provide a full year of face-to-face marketing opportunities for your company. Each sponsorship and exhibit package comes with pre and post-show marketing programs. By sponsoring and exhibiting in New York and Silicon Valley, you reach a full complement of decision makers and buyers in multiple vertical markets. Our delegate profiles can be located in our show prospectus.
2) Send Your Sponsor/Exhibitor Contract Early to Maximize Your Pre-Show Promotions
Once you select the best sponsorship/exhibit package that fits your goals, return the signed contract as soon as possible so you don't miss any of your pre-show promotional activities.
3) Review and Approve Your Assets, Logo, Company Sescription, etc., Quickly
Please provide your official company logo and description for inclusion on all our event sites and conference newsletters.
4) Communicate Your Participation and Presence with Your Clients, Customer Base
Our 20 years of experience as the world's leading technology event company has shown us that the sponsors and exhibitors with the most successful return from our conferences are the companies that plan their show presence well in advance. Some of our sponsors even provide fleets of cars to drive their customers to and from the event.
5) Coordinate Your Announcements with Our Show Dates to Maximize Your Media Coverage
The best way to leverage your @CloudEXPO presence as a sponsor and exhibitor is to plan your news announcements around our events. The media covering @CloudEXPO and @ExpoDX will have access to these releases and will amplify your news announcements. More than two dozen Cloud companies either set deals at our shows or have announced their mergers and acquisitions at @CloudEXPO. Product announcements during our show provide your company with the most reach through our targeted audiences.
6) Sign Up with Our Event Blog and Publish Technical Posts

7) Use Twitter Frequently, add @CloudExpo and @ThingsExpo in Your Tweets
Your customers and our delegates are the most active professional Twitter users in any industry. We will re-tweet your posts to our 120,000+ followers.
8) Promote Your Session(s) Before the Event
If you have technical sessions at our events, promote them. Don't forget, every speaker is competing with sessions in nine other breakout tracks which takes place at the same time slot. Many delegates pick which sessions they plan to attend before they arrive, so you need to promote your session content to draw the maximum audience to your presentation.
9) Plan Your Activities at Your Booth, Don't Forget Live Demos
The Expo Floor is where business is conducted. Remember your competition in the next booth is trying to reach the same customers as you are.

ServerlessSUMMIT & Kubernetes at CloudEXPO Silicon Valley
As you know, enterprise IT conversation over the past year have often centered upon the open-source Kubernetes container orchestration system. In fact, Kubernetes has emerged as the key technology -- and even primary platform -- of cloud migrations for a wide variety of organizations. Kubernetes is critical to forward-looking enterprises that continue to push their IT infrastructures toward maximum functionality, scalability, and flexibility.
Kubernetes is critical to forward-looking enterprises that continue to push their IT infrastructures toward maximum functionality, scalability, and flexibility.
Serverless and Kubernetes are great examples of continuous, rapid pace of change in enterprise IT. They also raise a number of critical issues and questions about employee training, development processes, and operational metrics.
DevOpsSUMMIT at CloudEXPO Celebrates Its 12th Event in Six Years
Cloud-Native thinking and Serverless Computing are now the norm in financial services, manufacturing, telco, healthcare, transportation, energy, media, entertainment, retail and other consumer industries, as well as the public sector.
The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch. DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential.
ServerlessSUMMIT and DevOpsSUMMIT at CloudEXPO expands the DevOps community, enable a wide sharing of knowledge, and educate delegates and technology providers alike.
There's a real need for serious conversations about Serverless and Kubernetes among the people who are doing this work and managing it.

Hackers access details of 500,000 people considering cosmetic surgery
A leading cosmetic surgery provider has been targeted by a computer hacker who may have accessed details of nearly 500,000 people considering procedures.
The Harley Medical Group said it believed the cyber attack was an attempt to extort money from the company and it had contacted police.
Some 480,000 initial inquiry forms submitted online may have been accessed and they include a potential client's name, address and telephone number, the company confirmed.
The form also lists cosmetic procedures, including breast enlargements, liposuction and tummy tucks, in which potential clients can express an interest.
The Harley Medical Group - which has 21 clinics across the UK - has insisted that confidential clinical and financial information was not accessed.
The firm, based in Thames Ditton, Surrey, said it had contacted police and the Information Commissioner's Office about the incident.
The company's chairman, Peter Boddy, has also written to people whose details may have been accessed to apologise.
A spokesman for the Harley Medical Group said: "We acted immediately when we became aware that an individual had deliberately bypassed our website security, gaining access to contact information from initial inquiries, in an attempt to extort money from the company.
"The police and the Information Commissioner were notified and we contacted everyone whose inquiry may have been accessed to apologise and to reassure them that all clinical and financial records remain totally secure.
"We have taken action to further strengthen the security around website inquiries."
An ICO spokesman said: "We have recently been made aware of a possible data breach involving the Harley Medical Group.
"We will be making inquiries into the circumstances of the alleged breach of the Data Protection Act before deciding what action, if any, needs to be taken."

'Documents of 28m afs MoCIT project not available'
'Documents of 28m afs MoCIT project not available'
KABUL (Pajhwok): The government has 'verbally' finalised a contract worth 28 million afghanis with a local company to develop a cell phone charges collection system for the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology (MoCIT), a source told Pajhwok Afghan News.
No documents related to the contract had been shared with the delegation tasked by the Presidential Palace with overseeing the bidding process, the source said, but MoCIT spokesman rejected the claim as 'baseless.'
The government last year imposed a 10 percent tax on mobile phone users based on a presidential decree the Cabinet endorsed when the parliament was on summer recess.
But the tax imposition drew strong criticism amid claims the move had many flaws and was vulnerable to corruption. The MoCI unilaterally took the step to create a separate system for a transparent tax collection from cell phone consumers.
The president, however, tasked a delegation headed by Finance Minister Eklil Hakimi and comprised of officials of the Administrative Affairs Office to oversee the biding process of the contract and access the entire system to ensure transparency.
The presidential decree No. 1990, a copy of which is available with Pajhwok Afghan News, maintains the assigned delegation would hopefully submit their valuable suggestions to the Administrative Affairs Office for final decision. The decree asks MoCIT to completely cooperate with the delegation and provide it all kind of support.
But a source within the ministry said no document regarding the contract was available and no documents in this regard had been submitted to the delegation.
But Yasin Samim, MoCIT spokesman, rejected the allegation and said the delegation had been provided all related documents regarding the contract.
He said the project cost was 28 million afghanis and had been approved by the ministry from technical angle. He added there was no issue in the contract and urged the National Procurement Commission (NPC) to make the payment.
Earlier, the MoCIT's spokesman told Pajhwok Afghan News the project would cost 12 million afghanis to develop a proper system for collection of charges from cell phone users.
Samim said if they did not start work soon on the project after the president's decree, it would lead to massive losses in revenue on a daily basis.
He said the presidential delegation after their investigation had come to the conclusion that the entire process of awarding the contract had been transparent and competitive.
He said the NPC was involved throughout the process and everything hurriedly happened and there wasn't much time and that was why they were criticised.
He said the delegation had submitted its suggestions to the Administrative Affairs Office and the government had decided to pay the amount required for the project launch.

Today, we are launching a new fix release that mainly improves the GPU (graphics card) usage.
We moved the GPU texture option to prevent confusion. GPU (and texture quality) is used for the panorama preview but does not change the final rendering quality. We added a compression parameter: it is disabled by default because it creates visual artifacts in the preview (and only in the preview) but it can be useful for users that don't have enough GPU memory. Memory usage can be divided per 2, but CPU is used to compress textures. We advise you not to activate this if your panorama editor already runs well with the GPU. We also enhanced the GPU processing to consume less memory and to better the reactivity.
Plugin support
Detection of the latest version of Adobe Bridge.
GPS heading support
Computing and transmission of the orientation of the panorama center when GPS information is available in the EXIF data.

Brown tweeted a link to the new version of "Turn Up the Music" on Monday, and Rihanna later retweeted it. She also tweeted about the remix for "Birthday Cake."
Brown attacked his then-girlfriend Rihanna at a pre-Grammy Awards party in 2009. He pleaded guilty to a felony charge and is serving five years of probation.
Last year, a judge eased a restraining order after an attorney for Rihanna said she didn't object to removing the stay-away provisions. The order had required Brown to stay 50 yards away from Rihanna, but the restriction was reduced to 10 yards if they were at a music industry event.
After a three-year absence from the Grammys, Brown made his return this year, performing twice at the show and winning best R&B album. Rihanna also performed and picked up a trophy.
Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, told Esquire magazine in its October 2010 issue that she no longer resented Brown and that she enjoys his music.
The two singers first collaborated musically in 2007 on the remix to her monster hit "Umbrella."
Brown also tweeted "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBYN" to Rihanna, who turned 24 on Monday.
A representative for Rihanna said she had no comment. An email seeking comment from Brown's representatives went unreturned Monday.

Spurius Postumius Albus, Aulus Manilius and Publius Sulpicius Camerinus were sent to Athens with instructions to take down in writing the laws of Solon and acquaint themselves with the way of life and the political institutions of other Greek communities. (Livy 3.31)
At the height of the social crisis within Rome, she dispatched three citizens according to Livy to Athens in order to find out what the appropriate constitutional forms might be. The report from Athens was eagerly awaited and led to major reforms in the Roman constitution. (3.33) Livy points out that such reforms were not actually that successful - he argues that the constitution created was 'all wood and no fruit' (3.33) but of course no reader could not fail to appreciate that the new formation produced the Twelve Tables of Roman Law- the basis for Roman law down to Livy's day and something that we shall move to discuss later. But let us focus for a moment on the central point Livy makes here- that Roman constitutional innovation proceeded from seeking the advice of another city. There are a couple of interesting issues here- why Athens in particular was mentioned and why Rome's story includes discussions of other cities necessarily.
Firstly why Athens? I do not think that Livy could prove that the senators did go to Athens- indeed there is an implausibility to it as Rome was far closer to the Greek cities of southern Italy. Rather the reason that Athens is mentioned here I think is the prestige that the name involves. Athens was the most famous example of democracy in the ancient world- Sparta its opponent the most famous example of what Plato called timarchy. That Livy identified Rome with Athens is not surprising to any reader of Fergus Millar's lectures on the Republic: Rome had democratic features. The office of the tribunate and the powers of the popular assembly can be underrated in Roman history, and when we see the class conflict in Livy we see two classes who can both fight against each other. Athens looks a logical place to go for lessons for stability therefore for the ancient Romans- and an obvious place for them to have absorbed lessons about constitutional conflict- particularly the Athens of Solon and not the Athens of the fifth century itself.
The Ancient world prided itself on its law makers- Solon, Brutus, Lycurgus- who provided models to their cities of how they ought to politically proceed. These statesmen moulded their cities in their images- and created civic structures to perpetuate their genius- to turn personal virtu into political virtu. In many senses these figures stood between the age of heroes and the age of constitutions- they straddled the world of personal heroism, the Odyssey and Illiad, and the world of constitutions. The problem that Rome had at this point in her history was renewing her own constitutional framework- how natural to look to the laws devised by one of these great lawgivers in pursuit of reform. What is interesting though is that for Livy these people remain Romans- they remain Brutan in their constitutional thinking and the Solonic innovations do not work. Curiously therefore the Athenian influence that Livy maps is one of failure- the Athenian implant did not succeed in changing the Roman state into Athens- what it does is extend the Brutan nature of the people by providing a graft extending a principle embodied already. The end of the decemvirs is the 12 tables- something that fits into Roman nature- the end of the decemvirs though is swift as the structure did not fit.
One might ask why Livy feels necessary to include this episode- what does he think it tells us about Rome. I'd say that Livy acknowledges here a part of the Roman story that cannot not be acknowledged- that Rome was influenced and changed from the first moment of her history by the interference of foreigners. At points like the Claudii from the Sabines they were other Italians- but often it was not other Italians, but the more important example of Greece that changed Rome. The fact that in Greek political life- whether Athens, Corinth, Sparta, Corcyra, Argos, Thebes, Chalcis, Mytilene or all the other cities, famous in story and in song- the formations of life and politics possible in a polis had been tried and a long history of political thought had been developed in order to understand those regimes in antiquity before Livy. It is more likely that Rome's first contact with this was through the cities of southern Italy that the Greeks had founded- possibly even that was where Romans sought some constitutional inspiration- they didn't have to go to Greece. But Livy had to in order to invoke the genius of the Athenians and Solon.
What Livy tells is a complicated story about the development of Rome- I have mentioned that Livy definitely believes in the mystical idea of Rome surviving down the centuries- he sees a continuity between Romulus and Augustus. But he is too good a historian not to understand that other places influenced Rome- for Livy, stressing the greatness of Rome, those other places have to be equally great and the point he wants to stress is that their influence did not change the course of Roman history. Influence pushed Rome in directions which were Roman but could not change the history of the Republic from becoming a regime led by consuls into victory on foreign fields. Athenian influence led to the decemvirs in Livy's view- the only constitutional experiment that did not last- its historically plausible that actually more of the original Roman regime was influenced by foreign example- but Livy wants to stress this marginal influence because he wants to stress the continuity of Roman history.

Oprah Winfrey will travel to Copenhagen to help support Chicago's final bid presentation, Chicago 2016 announced Wednesday.
"We are very honored and excited to have Oprah Winfrey travel to Copenhagen," said Patrick G. Ryan, chairman and CEO of Chicago 2016 in a release. "As a member of our community and as someone who understands and demonstrates the value of helping others, she embodies the spirit of so many Chicagoans and is truly an emissary for our bid and for the city of Chicago."
Observers have considered Oprah's presence in Copenhagen a sure thing since she announced a few weeks ago that she would travel to Copenhagen if she felt she was needed for the city's final Olympic pitch.
"There's some talk about it, and if I feel I can be useful there, then that's what I will do," Winfrey said.
U.S. & World
Winfrey will join several high profile names in Copenhagen, not least of which is First Lady Michelle Obama.
Also attending: 26 Olympic and Paralympic athletes, including two-time Olympic heptathlon champion Jackie Joyner-Kersee of East St. Louis; reigning Olympic decathlon champion Bryan Clay; two-time intermediate hurdles champion Edwin Moses; and Michael Johnson, the only man to win the 200 and 400 meters at the same Olympics.

Hamamatsu, Japan, November 3, 2010 – Hamamatsu, Japan, November 3, 2010 – The Netherlands beat Puerto Rico in straight sets (25-12, 25-13, 25-16) to finish 3-2 in Pool B at the 2010 FIVB Women's World Championship at Hamamatsu Arena on Wednesday.The Dutch continued to raise their level after a flat performance against Brazil on Sunday. Manon Flier and Ingrid Visser showed why they are two of the most explosive leapers and spikers in the game, and the Dutch servers kept the Puerto Rican receivers off balance. Puerto Rico, needing a win for any chance to advance to the next round, never could really challenge the superior Dutch.
FIVB Women's World Championship Japan 2010 official page
Needing to run up their score for points differential going into the next round, the Netherlands came out guns blazing, scoring the first five points on Maret Grothues's left-handed serves. Karina Ocasio's spikes earned Puerto Rico three points, but the Netherlands sped forward to 14-4 and Flier's slicing angled spike made it 18-7. Two blocks by Ingrid Visser enticed Puerto Rico to hit long, giving the Dutch the wide gap they sought, 25-12.In the second set, Visser and Laura Djikema snuffed out a swat by Aurea Cruz as the Dutch surged to 8-3. The Dutch took clear command of the net, pounding the Puerto Ricans from both sides to score six points in a row to make it 18-6. Flier's swooping attack from the right highlighted the Dutch supremacy, as they won another breezy set 25-13.The third set started out as a carbon copy of the first, with southpaw Grothues serving up four straight points and Visser stretching the lead to 8-1. The exuberant stadium announcer tried to spark a "Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico" chant, but the Dutch stormed to 13-3.One bright moment for Puerto Rico was a brilliant, backward, blind bump-set from Cruz, setting up a spike to make it 18-9. But the Dutch continued to pour it on, hoping for a chance to finish second in the group depending on other results. In the best rally of the match, both teams sprawled across the court until Manon finally placed the ball in a far-flung corner, and the Netherlands wrapped up the set 25-16.The Netherlands will advance to play on Saturday in the second round in Nagoya, while Puerto Rico, 1-4, failed to qualify despite some exciting play at times.

"Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston is the latest actor to join "John Carter of Mars," based on the series of novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, about a Civil War soldier who falls asleep only to awaken on the red planet.
Cranston's role as a Civil War colonel at odds with Carter isn't the only big news around the project. "John Carter" also appears slated to be Pixar's first live-action venture, according to Heat Vision.
The movie, directed by Andrew Stanton ("Wall-E," "Finding Nemo"), stars "Friday Night Lights" man-pretty Taylor Kitsch in the title role, Mark Strong ("Sherlock Holmes"), Dominic West ("The Wire"), Samantha Morton and Willem Dafoe as Tars Tarkas, a 10-foot tall, four-armed warrior.
Dafoe was mum earlier this month, while making the rounds in support of "Daybreakers," when asked how exactly they were creating his extra limbs.
"I'm not tellin'!" he bellowed good-naturedly. "I'm not telling, and you know what? I can't talk that much about it, because I don't know yet."
One thing he was clear on, however, was his respect for Stanton and Pixar, with whom he'd worked before.
"When someone asks you to make a movie directed by Andrew Stanton, with Disney behind it, a big, tent-pole movie… I know from making "Finding Nemo" how these Pixar guys work. They're very thorough, they're very rigorous, they really get it. It's a real pleasure because you get so protected, because they're so well researched and you get so much help trying to make something."

The Royal Ballet won a whole new legion of fans with its visit to the National Theater, which more than lived up to the expectations that had been building since its visit was first announced in December.
The Mixed Bill program and Giselle were in both impressive productions, in very different ways, but in the end in came down to the dancers, who were simply superb. The decision to open the Taipei tour with the mix of Wayne McGregor's Choma, Sir Frederick Ashton's Raphsody and Chrisopher Wheeldon's DVG was spot on: McGregor's piece served notice that this was not your parents' Royal Ballet, Ashton's gave the audience a vision of what they think the Royal is, while Wheeldon's showed what the Royal actually is now.
Chroma is set in a clinically sparse, yet glowing cube (by John Pawson), with tall walls and a large rectangular cutout in the back. The 10 dancers on Friday night — Lauren Cuthbertson, Yuhui Choe, Sarah Lamb, Melissa Hamilton, Ricardo Cervera, Paul Kay, Eric Underwood, Jonathan Watkins, Edward Watson and Dawid Trzensimiech — arched, contorted and distorted their bodies in ways that often looked completely inhuman and yet were oddly familiar. Often the pairings looked like the mating rituals of some elongated stick insect, especially in the lifts and carries, when the women would spread their legs wide, but with the feet angled in sharply. And yet there was a softness in some of the pas de deux. McGregor's choreography built on the tensions and power of Joby Talbot's arrangements of White Stripe songs.
Steven McRae shone in Rhapsody, which is really all about the male danseur, since his partner — the exquisite Alina Cojocaru — doesn't enter until about halfway through. Set to Serge Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, the piece is filled with flashy moves for the male lead, but with plenty of fast footwork for the six-couple ensemble as well.
DVG is a 29-minute journey of pure bliss. Everything about it was perfect: the soaring, pulsating score by Michael Nyman (his 1993 composition commemorating the inauguration of France's TVG trains, MGV: Musique a Grade Vitesse), the masterful choreography that showed Wheeldon's lineage — George Balanchine's geometric pattern-making, the humanity and accessibility of Jerome Robbins and Ashton's romance and lyricism — and the eight lead dancers: Laura Morera, Nathalie Harrison, Itziar Mendizabal, Cuthbertson, McRae, Ryoichi Hirano, Gary Avis and Nehemiah Kish. Each of the lead pairs has a distinctive look, while the 16-member ensemble — who begin packed together like commuter sardines — later expand to lines that arch and weave in rolling waves of motion.
When the company performs this work at home there is a massive silvery sculptural set piece, but DVG works just as well on a bare stage, thanks to the great lighting design by Jennifer Tipton. DVG is a jubilant piece that lingers in the mind long after the performance is over, just as the four female leads, carried by their partners, linger on stage, slowing spinning after the music has stopped.
The Saturday matinee of Giselle showed the purity of line and storytelling the Royal is famous for. I have never seen a Giselle in which the storytelling is so clear, from the mime in Act I to the moment in Act II when Giselle places herself, arms outstretched, in front of Albrecht, to protect him from the wrath of Myrtha and her Wilis, who throw their arms over their heads and curve away in terror.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - Former British Royal Air Force pilot Douglas Cairns succeeded in flying his light plane to the North Pole and landing it there this week, overcoming strong headwinds, the failure of his satellite-based navigation system and his diabetes to earn a place in aviation record books.
"It was rather surreal and very exhilarating to be at the crown of our Planet Earth with 24 hours of daylight," he said Friday in an Anchorage interview.
"I'm delighted to be able to do this kind of thing solo, with diabetes."
Cairns, 47, flew from Barrow, the northernmost community in the United States, to the North Pole on Tuesday in a Beechcraft Baron and completed the 1,300-mile flight in eight hours and 20 minutes.
He has submitted the time to the World Air Sports Federation for verification as a world speed record for a light, twin-engine piston aircraft. But the submission is largely academic because Cairns believes he is the first pilot to have made the trip in such an aircraft and to land it at the pole — a claim backed by a spokesman for Guinness World Records.
After circling the geographic pole several times, Cairns landed at a nearby Russian ice camp, making him the first to land a twin-engine piston aircraft at the pole.
He then flew home back to Barrow in six hours and 20 minutes, aided by strong tailwinds.
For part of the journey, he had to navigate using the sun's position in the sky because global positioning satellite equipment becomes unreliable near the North Slope.
The flight was one of a series of expeditions Cairns, who helped found an organization called Pilots with Diabetes, has completed to demonstrate ways to overcome limitations imposed by the disease.
Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 1989, Cairns was forced to end his RAF flying career and go into finance.
But now, five nations allow insulin-treated diabetics to hold private pilots' licenses. One is the United States, which allows diabetics to fly solo so long as they adhere to regular in-flight monitoring of blood-sugar levels, with corrective actions taken if warranted.
After U.S. authorities cleared diabetic pilots for flight in 1997, Cairns took to the skies again and has set various speed and distance records.
They include the first-ever around-the-world flight by a diabetic pilot in 2003 and a 50-state flight completed in 2010.
His North Pole expedition drew much interest in aviation-crazed Alaska. A veteran Alaska pilot, Ron Sheardown, has been on his support team for years. Alaska Airlines and Alaska-based Era Aviation provided hangar space. And Cairns and his plane were filmed for an appearance in a future episode of "Flying Wild Alaska," a Discovery Channel television series about Alaska bush pilots.
Next on Cairns' agenda is a planned speed record circumnavigation around the British coastline, a flight he intends to do in about 14 hours.
After that? "In the next few years, I would very much like to make a journey down to the South Pole," he said.

Tonight, Pocono Mountain School District is hosting a hearing about closing two more schools. We'll be at the meeting. Will you?
Be careful what you wish for. Allowing women in combat has opened a debate about opening the draft registration to women. Go to our Facebook site and tell us what you think about this.
Pocono Record reporter Andrew Scott gives us a glimpse into homelessness in Monroe County. He tells us who they are and what is and isn't helping them. We show you where they live.
Scott also brings a cautionary tale about what landlords need to know.
The Chestnuthill woman who was shot last week is awake and talking. She said the person who shot her posed as a delivery person. Here's the description. Police said they don't believe it was random, but they are asking people to be vigilant.
More bad news. A New York woman was killed in a crash Saturday morning on Interstate 84 in Dingman Township.
Following Saturday's crash at Daytona, we discuss the safety improvements Pocono Raceway has made.
Did the crash change your mind about going to a NASCAR race? Take our poll.
Did you watch the Oscars? Awards aside, what did you think of the opening song and the jokes. Tasteless or funny?
We have a photo gallery showing all the glitz and glamour of the star-spangled evening.
And then there was the Oscar wannabe who stole this Tiffany bracelet.
All that glitters is not good. The National Weather Service says we could get some freezing rain and ice Tuesday night. Power outages are also possible. We'll keep you updated with the latest forecasts.
Pocono Monday: Consolidating schools, drafting women and plight of the homeless

Yes it's true; this is a tutorial on something else that has to do with Christmas. I'm trying to do what I always like to do, and that is submit some fun lessons that are on popular and common Christmas related things. Today I will show you "how to draw Christmas gifts", step by step. Instead of doing traditional shaped boxes for the gifts, I went ahead and had fun with the whole concept. I figured that anything that had a quirky or stylish shape and or form would make the perfect object to replicate for the Christmas season. I hope you find this tutorial helpful as well as easy. You can color in and decorate the wrapping paper on each present if you want, or go with a simple design concept as I did with my gifts. Enjoy and peace out!

I prudently stuck my keyboard under the desk on the floor as I read that, to avoid damage. But I had tears streaming down my face and was convulsed with laughter. My boss thought I was having a siezure.

Squirrels are scary. A couple of years ago, a squirrel crawled around my backyard flat on its belly for like three hours. It was the creepiest thing. First I thought he was dead, but he was fine. He was just sniffing for squirrel crack or something.

Oh my! Whew! How very amusing! I'm afraid I've ruined yet another keyboard by spewing steaming hot Starbucks Gold Coast coffee onto it, before convulsing with laughter and smashing my head into my monitor. I spastically flailed and fell out of my chair kicking and screaming with near mortal hilarity before soiling my drawers.
Not really.

Oh. My. God.
That was the funniest effing thing I think I've ever read... it took at least three tries because I was crying so hard from laughter!
One time, my husband and I took our daughter to a minor league baseball game and ended up with a half a bucket's worth of peanuts (still in the shell). They were just going to go to waste, so I put them out on the back deck and sat back. Sure enough, one intrepid squirrel discovered them. After burying most of them in my flower planters, he proceeded to come right up to the back slider, stood up on his hind legs, put his front paws on the glass, and just stared in at me. And I mean STARED. He must've been there half an hour before giving up.
A few days later, he came back (I think it was him, hard to tell, as they all kinda look the same) dug up his peanuts and then came BACK to the slider. I swear, if he could reach the doorbell, I think he'd have rung it. He must've told a few of his buddies about the good eatin', because he came with a gang.
I don't put anything out for them anymore.

Argh, I can't get to the link! And after reading all these comments about hilarity, I feel like such an uninitiated newbie. Which I am. So I guess that's all right then.

A friend of mine lived on the second story of an apartment building and had a deck. One day she had the door open and the screen was closed, a squirrel was on the ledge of the deck looking around and she tapped the screen to get rid of the squirrel. Well, I guess the squirrel took exception to that because he jumped on the screen, dug all four sets of claws into the door and continued to hiss at her. She screamed and slammed the door shut.
She never opened it again as long as she lived there.

Thanks Miss Snark -- funny, funny!
I keep picturing a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser. Can't seem to get this image out of my mind.
Same goes for that crazy mixed-up rodent. It's my guess that it just wanted to go home with the large man on a huge black...

I don't know what's on the dude's site, but he's some kind of elitist creep. He won't let anybody onto his site whose computer uses Internet Explorer, and he says if you think you should be allowed on the site you should send him an e-mail containing some weird code. I did, twice, but the e-mail was returned because I'm "NOT Authorized." Please don't put stuff on here that's only for some geek elite without warning us. It ruins a perfectly nice afternoon.

Poor guy. This isn't as far-fetched as it may seem at first.
Squirrels can be incredibly agressive, particularly if their young are threatened.
Local homeowners have discovered, to their chagrin, what happens if they repair a hole in the roof and block mama squirrels access to her off-spring nesting there.
Google it, if you don't believe me.
Mama Bear has nothing on Mama Squirrel.

We had to put my beloved hound Polly to sleep last month - she had cancer - but all her life she was trying to warn us about the "killer squirrels". She'd lay on the back of the couch (all 70 pounds of her) and growl every time she saw one. Your vigilance has finally paid off, Polly Girl!

Oh dear dog, that was awesome. My dad HATES squirrels (he'd probably get along with KY just fine) and I sent the link along to him. I also tried to read it out loud to my husband, who wasn't near the computer, and ended up choking halfway through from laughing so hard.

Miss Snark:
Sometime could you comment on something I have read about. In several articles editors say they have first readers sort out those queries which contain - get this - THREATS for special consideration.
I have never threatened anyone (and would be afraid to open my mail if I did.) But I cannot help being curious. What kind of threats do people send? Are the most gifted writers the ones who threaten people? Editors say these writers get special consideration (i.e., not thrown directly into the trash.) Do books pitched with threatening letters get expedited to publication? And is that what hard boiled detective story writers and writers of stories about terrorism and the Mafia use? Did Sammy the Bull threaten people to get his book in print? (Good book, by the way.) Do agents threaten people?
No matter what your response, I do not intend to threaten anyone. I may use an occasional exclamation point (after all, computer geeks call those symbols "bangs") but that's as far as it goes!!!
! awa!t your comments w!th considerable !nterest!!!!!

I found it particularly disturbing since yesterday I was listening to an old This American Life with a story of a rabid raccoon (http://www.thislife.org/pages/descriptions/06/319.html). I am now very nervous about letting the dogs out to chase squirrels.

I laughed like a lunatic at the cops exploding out of their cruiser...but I do think the story was a little, no, greatly exaggerated. C'mon, squirrels are not fearsome beasts. They're pests, period. (Yes, I've had them nesting in my attic and it was a real pain getting them out of there--humanely.) Of course you don't want to pick one up. (Who the hell would?) But, gimme a break, they aren't going to attack you! You writers are so imaginative.

I loved reading this story and knowing that others are tortured by squirrels as well. Last winter, I had a squirrel crawl under my hood, set up nest and chew through some very important wires in my car's engine. The mechanics just shook their head as they charged me a little under a grand to fix it. Not content with doing this once, I had the same thing happen again a few months later. The kicker...I know exactly what squirrel did this because he would come up to my patio and taunt me. His beady eyes were filed with hatred and I could tell that he was laughing at me. I will never again feel any remorse for running over a squirrel. They're all in on it anyway.

I didn't find this funny. All I could think of is the world of hurt the writer is in for once he learns he's going to need rabies shots (at least!) as well as Band-Aids. And that the killer squirrel is not the only rabid animal on Brice Street. [shudder]

As the owner of the linked site, I can give a word of explanation for the people who get the 'rude robot' message: your browser is behaving like, or is identifying itself as, one of the nasty-bots I've had to deal with in the past. I have no problem with IE (Internet Explorer); IE isn't blocked from my site.
Send the information on the 'rude robot' page to me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll either fix it or explain what about your browser makes my system dislike it.
- 1/31/2007
To those of you who took issue over the "I use Internet Explorer" thing: Keep in mind that not all websites are created with all browsers in mind. Some sites look better through different browsers, and some not at all.
"Too bad people with Internet explorer aren't allowed on the site. Apparently we are mistaken for rude robots and must change our whole operating system to be allowed in."
Also keep in mind that downloading a new browser to use for your surfing pleasure doesn't mean you're changing your entire operating system. I suggest to try the Mozilla Firefox browser---it employs a popup blocker, which can cut down on your loading time (esp. if using dialup service). It also uses multiple top tabs when you have many sites open at once. If you want to click on a link to venture off, you can control-click to open the link in a new window without leaving the current page you're on.
You don't need to change operating systems to have an enjoyable Web experience---that's a bit overdramatic!
