There are fundamental laws in the universe
that govern the workings of all things.
You can learn how to harness the immense power
of these laws to supercharge your productivity,
creativity, and life energy; deepen relationships
with your spouse, friends, and family;
banish all forms of limitation, negativity, fear,
and stress; and realize a permanent success far
beyond your imagination.
Dear Friend,
Hidden deep within you is an unstoppable power.
Unstoppable in relationships. Unstoppable in business. Unstoppable in revelation.
This power is so extraordinary that even just a brief glimpse of its infinite potential reveals the possibility of touching the stars themselves. Its stirring inspires us to create...to learn...to change as we must to realize the purpose of our own being.
The barriers that presently keep us from the success we seek — limitation, discouragement, bad luck — hold no real authority over this unclaimed gift. When we awaken to its higher possibilities, there is literally nothing that can stand in our way.
And while these claims may sound too good to be true, let me assure you they are understated, if anything. One could literally fill pages and pages with the extraordinary benefits of the unstoppable life — and the words would still pale in comparison to the real possibilities.
However, as with all things that seem too good to be true, there is a catch.....There is a reason why most people don't know — and will never know — the reality of this extraordinary inner-strength:
Most people are content with their life "as is." And those content with "life as usual" can never realize their full potential for this one reason: they have ceased to nourish the secret part of themselves that has the power to develop their true potential.
If you are one of the rare few who are NOT content with "life as usual," and you long to better yourself, your loved ones, and the world at large, this message was meant just for you.
The secret of being unstoppable is only revealed to human beings who long to go beyond who they have been...it is reserved for those rare individuals who are weary of limitation, and who instinctively know — deep down inside their heart — that they were meant for an ever-expanding life filled with Authentic Success, Peace, Love, Mystery, and Freedom.
This is your opportunity to learn about an
entirely new way to approach success.
This is your opportunity to learn
about the
Extraordinary, Unstoppable Life.
In his empowering new audio program Secrets of Being Unstoppable, Amazon.com #1 best-selling author Guy Finley will lead you, step by step, to a new understanding of how you can make a permanent connection with a deep, renewable well of higher energy hidden within you.
This amazing program is different from anything you've ever seen or heard of before. It has nothing to do with positive thinking, goal setting, visualization, overcoming people or events with psychological powers, or gaining an advantage at the expense of anyone or anything else. It's much better than all of these temporary success techniques. Once you learn the simple and elegant power principles in this program, you'll wonder how you ever lived without them!
Just look at the grateful feedback we've received from people all around the world:
"The single greatest discovery of my life..."
I have been around the world and back again on the spirituality circuit and I took something positive from each and every phase but The Secrets of Being Unstoppable is the stopping point for me. I will listen to these CDs until I breathe my last breath. If there is such a thing as "the answer" to life's mysteries these CDs are it.
I worked my way to CD #5, The Power to Let Go and Live in the Now. The single greatest experience of my life. A million thanks to Guy and his supporting cast. I am on my way home.

"... this is the clearest, most thrilling course I've ever heard..."
I think these 16 CDs are the best value I've ever come across in decades of seeking for answers. My wife died a year ago and I've tried a thousand ways to console myself and fill the emptiness, [...] but this is the clearest, most thrilling (and entertaining) Course I have ever heard or read. I ain't there yet but at last I KNOW I'm looking in the right direction.

"... radically different from the 'push to succeed'..."
Thank you for the instructions and information you have put into Secrets of Being Unstoppable. They haven't just helped me through a difficult time - they've given me a path to have a life that is radically different from the "push to succeed" that has characterized my life to date. A heartfelt thank you to Guy Finley and to everybody that has made this information available!!

That's Impressive Feedback...
How Do I Order This Program?
In the first 60 minutes of the program alone, you will learn these secrets of being unstoppable:
- The four steps to break through any barrier
- The defining traits of an unstoppable human being
- How to turn adversity into a powerful source of strength
- How to use awareness of yourself to take charge of your surroundings
- How to learn more, with less effort, in less time
- How to awaken new-found stores of life energy within you!
And that's just the beginning!
Did you know that nothing in this world is supposed to have power over you?
Just as an eagle is born to know the boundless freedom of the open skies, so too are you — as a human being — created to claim the unending freedom of your own higher consciousness.
No person, no situation, no thought or feeling — not even money problems or poor health — is meant to hold you back from realizing AUTHENTIC SUCCESS in ANY moment of your life.
I realize that this type of "supreme command" over yourself might sound strange — even fantastic — but it is a REAL possibility once you learn the techniques described in Secrets of Being Unstoppable.
As you'll learn, the key to turning these possibilities into realities lies in discovering, and applying, a special type of knowledge hidden from the masses down through the ages. These "secrets" enable you to unlock enormous amounts of new life energy lying latent in your mind and heart. And, in turn, this new life energy empowers those who realize its potential to command the moment and effortlessly dispel ANY gathering darkness.
Some people dismiss these miraculous possibilities
as "impossible," but they are actually governed
by one of the most basic laws of physics:
In our universe, energy cannot be created or destroyed — but it can be transformed.
Our sun is a perfect example; it transforms low and basic types of energy (like hydrogen and helium atoms) into a virtually limitless supply of light — the very highest form of energy in the universe. This "miracle" is accomplished through the amazing, but very real process of stellar fusion.
In much the same way, an actual process of spiritual fusion can take place inside of you. As you begin to tap the well of Spiritual Power inside your mind and heart, it seamlessly transforms problems and negativities into higher and higher forms of Light Energy.
- Stress becomes Productivity
- Worry becomes Awareness
- Regret becomes Inspiration
- Conflict becomes Compassion
- Fear becomes Self-Command
Walk with the great masters, sages, and saints who used their lives to realize the unstoppable spiritual power that is the same as your own Higher Self!
One of the great secrets of the Unstoppable Life
is that you can't help someone else without
helping yourself at the same time. It's impossible!
And this point goes right to the heart of how the Unstoppable ideas in this program can help elevate every relationship in your life.
Have you ever noticed that no matter how good a relationship is, it always seems like there's some sort of issue to "work on" — some sort of compromise to make?
Isn't that strange, especially considering that we spend such a large portion of our life relating to other people? You'd think that after 30, 40, 50 or even 70 years we'd finally master the skills required to have permanently harmonious relationships!
It's downright crazy! But it doesn't have to be...
There is a way — using the techniques revealed in Secrets of Being Unstoppable — that you can learn to have higher, happier interactions with everyone you meet.
And, at the same time, spend every day deepening and expanding the close relationships you've been given.
This new approach to our relationships with other people involves a simple, yet profound shift in the way we think that enables us to awaken the exalted, effortless Love that exists deep down in our hearts.
The new understanding that makes this type of higher Love possible is rooted in the timeless principle that Love itself, and not the object of Love, is actually what we are meant to seek as human beings.
As this principle begins to turn from an idea in our head into an understanding in our heart, Love herself becomes our companion and teacher in every interaction we face throughout life.
We begin to learn that human relationships are not just things to extract temporary sensational feelings from, but are rather meant to be mirrors for learning about ourselves, and others.
In this way, it becomes possible for both parties to receive more from a relationship than either brings to it. This is where true miracles start to happen:
- Conversations go deeper; silence becomes powerful
- Our communication skills naturally grow stronger
- We learn how to properly resolve conflict
- We stop being dependent on others for our sense of well-being
- Anger and fear fall away because we stop trying to control others
- We see and set free harmful enabling patterns in our relationships
- Difficult situations help liberate us, instead of holding us captive
- We help change the world as we are no longer a part of its conflict
Relationships aren't supposed to be boring,
difficult, or distant. They're supposed to be
peaceful, rewarding, and fun!
You will learn all about the wisdom that is the gateway to this higher form of love in talk number three of Secrets of Being Unstoppable. This talk is entitled Secrets of Happier, Higher Human Relationships, and is a can't-miss for anyone who longs for the higher life because unless you live in a cave in the Himalayas, you are going to have to relate with other people!
This point brings me to another "Big Idea"
in the Secrets of Being Unstoppable program.
On the path to self-realization, there are big ideas, and then there are BIG IDEAS.
For instance, achieving authentic success and having harmonious relationships are big ideas; but there are even bigger ideas that stand behind them, powers that make such achievements possible to attain. These bigger ideas represent the brightest, most empowering forces in our universe: Peace, Wisdom, Love, and Freedom...just to name a few.
But there is one idea, one living power so encompassing — so fundamental and important — that it goes virtually unnoticed by everyone who lives within it, much as a great blue whale swims through the open seas without ever realizing its body is supported by the ocean in which it lives.
In the history of true higher teachings, this one principle sits higher and runs deeper than all others. Every prophet, every true saint or enlightened master, every illumined manuscript — from the East and the West — points to this one all-encompassing principle as being the secret gateway to the Greater Life:
The Eternally Perfect Now.
The Now is the gateway to Creativity. It is the home of Peace and is where Love lives.
If, as human beings, we are to answer the call within us to perfect ourselves and the world around us — if we are ever to realize a direct and personal relationship with Authentic Success — then we must take a mandatory step in our own inner-evolution: we must learn to live in (and participate with) the ever-unfolding and ever-new Present Moment.
Being conscious of ourselves in the Present Moment is the key to all things good, not just because of the better choices we can make for ourselves (because we can see more possibilities) — but because the more awake we are in the Now, the less likely we are to allow ourselves to be negatively compromised by our own past. Our relationships grow, because we do; confidence increases, because we make fewer mistakes in our awakened state. Being grounded in the Present Moment empowers us to stand in a world where the waves of troubled thoughts and feelings can no longer reach us to wash us away.
If learning to live in the Present Moment
sounds wonderful, that's because it is.
And we are meant to know
all of its wonders, and more.
But there's a problem:
We weren't born knowing how to live in the Now. Once we outgrew the simple joy of just being a small child, we forgot what real joy is; and our parents couldn't tell us how to regain that precious sense of freedom, because they too had fallen asleep to its presence within them. And, of course, we were never taught about it in school.
But, just as we can learn to ride a bike, or to read, or to use a computer, so can we learn to develop the inner ability to possess our attention and place it on any of the many wonder-filled facets of the Present Moment. This is exactly what you'll learn when you listen to talk number five of the Secrets of Being Unstoppable program.
And the best thing about developing new inner abilities like the ability to be present to the moment is that you don't have to toil for years and years to get results. The unique ideas and insights described in Secrets of Being Unstoppable can literally be put to use the moment you hear them!
Here are just a few of the empowering ideas you'll find in this talk:
- How to increase your level of spiritual freedom
- The keys to claiming your celestial birthright
- What the Wise Ones want us to know about the Now
- Ten words to help you let go of ANY negative state
- Seven simple exercises to invite the Extraordinary Life
- Plus A LOT more!

"What a gift this is..."
Not only did my stress disappear I started feeling WONDERFUL. So far on my journey, this is the most valuable lesson. I feel as though a door has opened that I've been pounding on for years, perhaps lifetimes. Just in one day the difference is already amazing. I've committed myself to remain awake at all times and people smile at me everywhere I go, speak and say hello. They can SEE, sense and FEEL what's going on inside me. What a gift this is.

"There's a transformation going on inside of me I can't begin to explain..."
First of all I thank God for allowing me to stumble upon your website and wisdom. I have been crying out for some time for God to teach me how to let go of the pain of my past as well as my present. And the transformation truly began as I started listening to your wisdom nuggets and lessons. The Secrets of Being Unstoppable has been life-changing for me. There is a transformation going on inside of me that I can't begin to explain that is a cleansing and at times overwhelming.

This next idea is so "over the top"
that I didn't believe it was even possible
when I first heard about it:
It is possible to relax your way to the authentically rich, success-filled life I've been describing.
Yes, you heard that right. You don't have to stress your way to an inwardly richer life. You don't have to compromise yourself to get there. You don't even have to struggle to get there. You can relax your way to an authentically richer life!
And you will learn how to do just that in talk number nine of the Secrets of Being Unstoppable program.
Here's why this improbable idea works:
There is an undetected lie that has been propagated on this earth for many thousands of years.
This lie is so big, and so widespread, that almost every person on earth is caught in the web of its deception EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Fortunately, you can learn to recognize and walk away from this lie. And for this discovery enjoy more fun, freedom, and relaxation than most people can even dream of.
Here's the lie:
We have been taught — from a very early age — to shoulder a whole host of needless responsibilities!
In particular, there are Eight Great False Responsibilities that we have been tricked into accepting as our own. These false responsibilities drain our vital life forces and leave us with very little energy to meet life with. This is the reason why so many of us always feel tired and stressed these days, even though we work hard and try our best to stay ahead of the curve.
We must learn to recognize, and then consciously drop the burden of these eight false masters in order to reclaim the energy we need to fill our lives with what is truly important.
All great things that we are capable of as human beings require our time and energy. True Love requires our energy to flower. Friendship requires our energy to strengthen itself. Creativity requires our energy to be actualized. Excellence requires our energy in order to achieve it.
But when our time and energy are wasted carrying burdens that aren't our own, we are kept from living a naturally expansive, creative, and carefree life.
The reason we don't recognize these dark weights of the mass consciousness is because they are so tightly integrated into the fabric of socialized behavior.
For example, in today's world it is considered "normal" to get stressed when we have too much to do, or to rush around getting things done. But, in reality, these dark states are not "normal." By listening to talk number ten of the Secrets of Being Unstoppable program, you will learn that they are the punishing effect of carrying around false responsibility #4. Just as:
- Worrying about upcoming situations or events is an effect of carrying false responsibility #3.
- A huge number of relationship problems are an effect of carrying false responsibility #5.
- Feeling like we haven't accomplished enough during our day (or in our life!) is an effect of carrying false responsibility #6.
- Harboring guilt or regret is an effect of carrying false responsibility #8.
The happy result of dropping these self-wrecking responsibilities is less stress, more energy, and more time to fulfill your aspirations for an authentically richer life.
So far, we've been talking about some of the great big ideas that lead to the Unstoppable life. But these ideas don't mean anything unless we learn how to put them into practice!
And in the Secrets of Being Unstoppable program
you will learn how to do just that.
Consider this:
Have you ever met someone who knew A LOT about self-development and who could spout a bunch of spiritual ideas — but whose own life was a mess?
What about someone quick to give dieting or healing advice to other people, but who was far from the model of good health?
Did you know that the divorce rate among psychologists and psychiatrists is over 50% — much higher than the national average?
How does this happen?
How is it possible that people can know something so completely in their heads, but be powerless to apply it in their own lives?
The answer to this simple question is the topic of talk number 15 in the Secrets of Being Unstoppable audio program:
Thinking is NOT the same as doing!
As human beings, we have the marvelous capacity to think about and imagine what is true and good. We can easily imagine and feel the emotional content of the quality of kindness, for example. We can also imagine and feel the qualities of bravery, compassion, justice, and love.
But, also as human beings, there is something inside of us that keeps us from remembering kindness in the moments when we are angry. There is something inside of us that keeps us from knowing forgiveness when we harbor resentment toward someone else. And, to bring it even closer to home, how many times have we all said something like this to ourselves:
"That's it! I'm sick of overeating, I'm going on a diet."
"I want to be healthier. I'm going to start going to the gym every other day."
"I'm tired of wasting money. I'm not buying another new pair of shoes for a year!"
"It's time. Tomorrow I'm finally going to get around to cleaning out the garage."
Once in a while we muster the interior will to carry out these types of resolutions, but most of the time there's just too much effort required to make the life changes we know we should. The minute this interior struggle begins to form, our false self suddenly finds a host of reasons why we can't succeed with our intention.
But that can change! In Secrets of Being Unstoppable you will learn exactly how to awaken a New Will inside of you that is stronger than any thought that would dare hold you back. This New Will is the key to turning all of the utopian thoughts in our minds into actual reality!
Put simply, you'll learn how to
do a lot more and stress a lot less!
Again, we effect this change in ourselves by first looking inward at how our own mind works, because the more productive we can become inwardly, the more our outward productivity naturally increases. As anger, stress, anxiety, fear, and worry live less and less in our heart — clarity, stillness, and a sharp mind become our new and constant companions. The ideas of peace and productivity that seem to oppose each other in the busy exterior world, merge together into an unstoppable energetic force within the understanding of our own higher mind.
But the Unstoppable Life doesn't just spontaneously appear. And it is certainly not born from imitating anyone else! Just as with all higher things in life, awakening to the Greatness, Authentic Success, and Love within you takes knowledge AND action.
Guy Finley's Secrets of Being Unstoppable provides the knowledge — you provide the action!
What if the punishing states of stress and anxiety could be transformed into fuel for success? What if the dark twins of fear and worry could be transformed into the lights of awareness and self-command? Wouldn't it be worth risking everything just to find out how to do it?
Of course it would!
But with this unique offer from not-for-profit Life of Learning Foundation, there's not one bit of risk at all! We stand behind this program with a rock-solid guarantee:
That's What I Needed to See...

Mock drafts are an inexact science even 24 hours before the actual event occurs. At eight months out, there is an unlimited amount of guesswork.
An important point here: The draft order was cobbled together from a combination of where teams currently stand and a projection of where they might be at the end of the year. The goal is less to pinpoint exactly which players each team will wind up with, and more to look at what each franchise needs and where potential draftees fall in the current landscape.
As you'll notice, there are five quarterbacks "selected" in the top 10 and four in the first five picks. Given what we saw in 2013, when every QB not named EJ Manuel plummeted further than most expected, that's a stark reversal.
It may be an unrealistic one, too, because at least a couple of the teams slotted to take QBs in Mock 2.0 -- Tampa Bay, Minnesota, Philadelphia -- could stick to their current guns or wait until the later rounds. There is so much talent at quarterback, though, that a repeat of 2013's very delayed run on the position is highly unlikely.
With that, away we go on Mock Draft 2.0
1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville
If the Jaguars wind up in this slot -- and there's certainly no reason to think otherwise through three weeks -- then they'll have two choices. The first is the most obvious: Take Bridgewater, thus far the clear top quarterback in the class, and build around him. The second? Go with Jadeveon Clowney (yes, he's still a viable No. 1 pick) and take advantage of a deep QB class in Round 2.
2. Oakland Raiders: Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina
Terrelle Pryor has given the Raiders a little bit of life at quarterback. The jury is still out on whether or not he can be a consistent, full-time starter in this league. But for the moment, Oakland has to like what it is seeing. That means the Raiders can focus more attention on a defense that clearly needs a talent infusion. Clowney up front and D.J. Hayden in the secondary would be a decent starting point.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
Had a tough time with this pick, mainly because it seems like the Buccaneers are far higher than most on Mike Glennon. Obviously, if they deem him their QB of the future, this pick heads elsewhere -- likely on one of the top offensive tackles or wide receivers. Barring that, this team still needs a quarterback.
4. Cleveland Browns: Brett Hundley, QB, UCLA
The Trent Richardson trade obviously makes the Browns an extremely intriguing team to watch approaching the 2014 draft. Assuming Bridgewater lands No. 1, Cleveland needs to pick its guy at QB and go for broke to get him. Will that be Mariota? Hundley? Johnny Manziel?
5. Minnesota Vikings: Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson
The Christian Ponder experiment is on its last days -- the home fans chanting for Matt Cassel in a Week 3 loss to Cleveland might have been the final blow. So either here or in Round 2, the Vikings have to roll the dice on a quarterback. Given how quickly that position may come off the board, waiting would be a massive gamble.
6. St. Louis Rams (from Washington): Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
Rodger Saffold is a pending free agent and, more to the point, he has been unable to stay healthy over the past three seasons. Matthews could drop right in at right tackle for a couple years, then slide over to left tackle when Jake Long's St. Louis days are up.
7. Pittsburgh Steelers: Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan
Anyone who's watched the Steelers this season (or for the past couple seasons) knows that their offensive line is in shambles. Since neither 2012 second-rounder Mike Adams nor 2011 second-rounder Marcus Gilbert really has settled in, maybe Lewan could. Bonus: He's blocked for Denard Robinson and Devin Gardner, so adjusting to Ben Roethlisberger's movement in the pocket would be old hat.
8. Arizona Cardinals: Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama
The Cardinals have no chance to really take any substantial steps forward until they fix their offensive line. Kouandjio finally could kickstart that renovation, as a blindside protector for Carson Palmer and a force in the run game.
9. Carolina Panthers: Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State
The NFC South is no place to have so many lingering question marks in the secondary. Roby remains the top cornerback prospect in the 2014 class (though Jason Verrett's right there), so this is a natural one for the Panthers.
10. Philadelphia Eagles: Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M
Mariota is the rather obvious match here -- he played for Chip Kelly at Oregon and is thriving in the offense Kelly left behind. The MMQB's Greg Bedard reminded us, though, that Kelly recruited Manziel partially because Johnny Football played in a high school offense similar to Kelly's attack. This one would be a lot of fun if it happened.
11. New York Giants: C.J. Mosley, LB, Alabama
The Giants have tried to find a middle linebacker for several years now, from signing Chase Blackburn off the street to putting Mark Herzlich in over his head. Mosley is a phenomenal talent -- Alabama had him spy Johnny Manziel -- and he could be a 100-tackle guy from the outset.
12. San Diego Chargers: Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
The Chargers have some nice pieces cobbled together at wide receiver, but not a ton of top-flight talent. Watkins would be just the type of player coach Mike McCoy needs to really open up his playbook.
13. Buffalo Bills: Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA
Mario Williams remains an imposing pass-rusher at defensive end, but the Bills are still trying to find him a little help. Barr very well may come off the board in the top 10 -- maybe even top five -- come May. The early QB run pushes him down here, and the Bills reap the benefits by nabbing the still-developing former running back.
14. New York Jets: Marqise Lee, WR, USC
The Jets appear to have their new franchise quarterback in Geno Smith. Now it's time to give him a few toys. Pairing Lee with Stephen Hill and veteran Santonio Holmes would open up a lot of possibilities for Smith in Year 2.
15. St. Louis Rams: Dominique Easley, DT, Florida
Truth be told, I had Clemson QB Tajh Boyd penciled in here initially. It's still hard to justify the Rams simply throwing in the towel on Sam Bradford, though. The D-line, meanwhile, could use another body to rotate with Kendall Langford and Michael Brockers. Easley can be a dominant force.
16. Tennessee Titans: Antonio Richardson, OT, Tennessee
The Titans upgraded the interior of their line prior to 2013, so it only makes sense to beef up on the edges before 2014. The current starting tackles, Michael Roos and David Stewart, are 30 and 31 years old, respectively. Both have voidable years on their contracts upcoming, too.
17. Cleveland Browns (from Indianapolis): Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M
As trade rumors swirl around current Cleveland receivers Josh Gordon and Greg Little, the possibility of landing both a top-flight QB and an elite WR should have Browns fans feeling giddy. Don't be surprised if Evans winds up being the most productive 2014 wide receiver.
18. Detroit Lions: Ryan Shazier, OLB, Ohio State
The Lions have received pretty steady contributions from DeAndre Levy and Stephen Tulloch so far this year. Shazier could fill the remaining void as a steady, reliable, athletic tackler behind Detroit's stalwart defensive line.
19. Green Bay Packers: Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama
The Packers locked in Morgan Burnett at safety for the next few years. The situation alongside him is far less settled. Clinton-Dix could put an end to all the headaches. He had 37 tackles, five interceptions and nine pass break-ups last season and seems to be an even more well-rounded player in 2013.
20. Baltimore Ravens: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington
The Ravens are learning each and every week how much the loss of Dennis Pitta hurts their offense. Ed Dickson has not been much help in the passing attack, and Dallas Clark is clearly on his last legs. Put Seferian-Jenkins on the field with Pitta in 2014, and the Ravens will have their own version of the Gronkowski-Hernandez duo.
21. San Francisco 49ers: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, CB, Oregon
The 49ers spent the preseason trying to piece together their cornerback depth chart -- they signed Nnamdi Asomugha this offseason, then twice added Eric Wright. They could use an influx of young talent there, and the physical Ekpre-Olomu has shown himself to be a playmaker in Oregon's secondary.
22. Atlanta Falcons: Khalil Mack, OLB, Buffalo
Mack's stock shot through the roof with a strong season-opening performance against Ohio State (nine tackles, 2.5 sacks and an interception return for a touchdown). Though undrafted rookie Joplo Bartu has been a pleasant surprise for the Falcons thus far, they could use a disruptive force outside.
23. Kansas City Chiefs: Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt
The way this mock has fallen, there are still a number of talented WRs out there: Paul Richardson, Allen Robinson, Donte Moncrief and Brandon Coleman, to name a few. The 6-foot-3 Matthews might be the best of the bunch, with his ability to play all over the field and clear knack for finding soft spots in coverage.
24. Miami Dolphins: Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame
Nix would be an absolute steal down here -- the safe money is on the hulking Notre Dame interior lineman being a top-15 pick when all is said and done. The Dolphins need to start planning for the future up front, with a frustrated Randy Starks playing on a franchise tag and Paul Soliai set to hit free agency.
25. Dallas Cowboys: Will Sutton, DT, Arizona State
Defensive tackle run! It's been a tough start to the 2013 season for Sutton, who added more than 10 pounds in the offseason. He still has the talent to be a first-round pick, though, and the Cowboys could use some more interior bodies for their new 4-3. Current starter Jason Hatcher's contract is up at the end of 2013.
26. Cincinnati Bengals: Jason Verrett, CB, TCU
A bit of a luxury pick for the deep Bengals, the talented Verrett could give them arguably the league's best group of corners -- Leon Hall, 2012 first-rounder Dre Kirkpatrick, Terence Newman and Adam Jones are there already. Newman, 35 and with one year left on his deal, will require a replacement soon.
27. Chicago Bears: Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina
"It looks illegal. It looks like it shouldn't be on the field, but it is." That's how the 6-4, 254-pound Ebron described his speed to the News and Observer. The junior has 13 catches for 200 yards so far in 2013, and his ability to challenge defenses over the middle would make for a deadly combo alongside Martellus Bennett.
28. New England Patriots: Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame
The Patriots utilize both 3-4 and 4-3 fronts (as a lot of teams do these days). Tuitt has been a dominant force at end in the Irish's 3-4 look, but he appears to have the mix-and-match versatility that would work well with a shifting front. Vince Wilfork, 32 and with one year left on his contract, is not going to be around forever.
29. Houston Texans: Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin
Hard to ignore the momentum Gordon has generated over the first four weeks of the season, in rushing for 624 yards and seven TDs with an 11.8 yards-per-carry average. With Ben Tate likely to leave next offseason for a No. 1 gig elsewhere, the Texans will be in the market for another Arian Foster sidekick.
30. New Orleans Saints: Kyle Van Noy, OLB, BYU
The Saints have learned the rather painful lesson that you never can have enough linebacker depth, especially in a 3-4 formation. Van Noy probably needs to fill out to really thrive on the outside as a 3-4 guy, but his knack for finding the ballcarrier in the backfield would play well in Rob Ryan's aggressive defense.
31. Seattle Seahawks: Colt Lyerla, TE, Oregon
The Seahawks used a 2013 fifth-round pick on TE Luke Willson. Lyerla's way, way better. There is very little the Ducks' star cannot do on offense, and coming from that Oregon system would put him ahead of the curve in Seattle's attack.
32. Denver Broncos: Adrian Hubbard, OLB, Alabama

Little Improvement Seen in Food Marketing to Children
Statement of CSPI Nutrition Policy Director Margo G. Wootan
Today's report from the Federal Trade Commissionindicates that much more needs to be done if industry self-regulation of food marketing to children is to become an effective way to protect children's health. Self-regulation has led to only modest improvements in the way food and media companies market and advertise food to children. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of foods advertised to kids is still of poor nutritional quality.
It's a step forward that the Children's Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative adopted a common set of nutrition standards. But even under its "new and improved" standards, Cocoa Puffs, Popsicles, SpagettiOs, and Fruit Roll-Ups are considered nutritious foods that companies can actively promote to children. Unfortunately the food industry succeeded in killing the federal Interagency Working Group's excellent voluntary guidelines.
Companies have taken steps to expand what they consider to be marketing to children. But it's crazy for companies to claim that putting Dora the Explorer on a Popsicle package or promoting Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toys in Happy Meals isn't marketing to kids.
More companies need to take responsibility for what they market to children. Unlike Disney and Qubo, Nickelodeon and the Cartoon Network have not agreed to limit unhealthy food advertising during their children's television programming or on their websites. Chuck E. Cheese's, Topps Candy, IHOP, and all food companies that market to children should join the CFBAI.
Although the FTC found that food marketing expenditures have declined, it's unlikely that kids are exposed to less marketing of unhealthy foods. Companies have increased their use of Internet, tablet, and cell phone marketing, which are less expensive—and more interactive—than television ads. And, $1.8 billion a year in spending is still a huge investment in implanting marketing messages on impressionable, still-developing young brains. If industry wants to continue to enjoy its extraordinary freedom to self-regulate in this area, those messages must not promote foods that promote obesity, diabetes, and other nutrition-related diseases in children.

In both 2012 and 2013, Fortune China named Lenovo's Gina Qiao one of the "25 Most Influential Businesswomen in China." Little wonder: The PC and personal technology giant's HR chief has led her team over a decade-long course of globalization while achieving in her own right an impressive record in the field of global human resources management. In the following interview with Claire Yang, Managing Director of Management Consulting in Communications, Media & Technology for Accenture Greater China, Qiao discusses the key role HR has played in enabling Lenovo's distinctively non-Chinese global operating model.
Claire Yang: Lenovo has achieved significant growth internationally in recent years. Why did the company decide to pursue a globalization strategy so aggressively?
GINA QIAO: Back in 2000, our PC business was an established leader in China, with 26 percent of the market and more than $20 billion in revenues. However, our goal was to achieve faster and higher growth rates. At first we pursued a diversification strategy, moving into other high-tech products. After a time, however, we decided that we needed to keep our focus on PCs but reach out to the global market. We set a big goal: to become a global brand and, in doing so, to make our PC business a $100 billion business. We couldn't have accomplished that if we'd limited ourselves to the home market.
From a strategic and operations perspective, what were some keys to Lenovo's success?
One of our strengths was our strategy for market expansion, which was to adopt different approaches for the different markets we entered, whether developed or emerging. In some areas we focused on profitability, and in other areas on market share. We knew that challenges would emerge, but we were confident in our success as long as we stayed focused on our primary strategic intent. In addition, our work to expand into those different markets really highlighted how critical it is to have an effective HR strategy for globalization.
Tell us about some of your guiding principles for globalization from an HR perspective.
The most important principle is that a company needs to leverage local talent to be successful in local markets. This has not been a typical approach among many Chinese companies, who often fill manager-level positions with personnel sent from China and then hire local talent only for lower-level jobs. This is often done as a way to "maintain control."
However, at Lenovo, we take a different approach. We recruit locals for top managerial positions because we believe that managers dispatched from home may not adequately know the market they have been sent to manage. So we try to ensure that those who truly know the local market are motivated to join us. For example, in India, we recruit the best Indian talent as general managers; in America, we recruit the best American talent; and so forth.
What's the advantage of recruiting local talent for important Lenovo roles?
These people have grown up in the regions they're working in. They understand the nuances of the local market, and can be more effective at managing local employees. They are well positioned to understand customers and expand those relationships, and to network effectively with the local government.
Do you continue to fill some positions with talent from China?
Yes, for some areas, such as new-product development, we will fill the second- through fourth-tier managerial positions with employees sent from China. But that is less about control and more about effective management and communications. By filling some positions with our people from China, we can be assured that these personnel have consistent training and that we have the means in place to communicate well with the business back home.
What about the makeup of your leadership team?
We have worked effectively to diversify our leadership. Our management team, for example, which has nine members including our CEO, represents countries across Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas. We also work to improve our global mindset—for example, by attending the recent Global Leaders of Tomorrow conference in Barcelona, Spain, with attendees coming from the world's top 100 companies and representing a total of 17 countries.
I imagine you have encountered some challenges along the way when it comes to integrating different cultures as you have globalized.
We have worked very hard on cultural integration because we know it is essential to our growth and globalization strategy. It has not always been easy. The various parts of the organization can differ greatly in values, customs, habits and behaviors. The challenges we faced initially in trying to integrate different cultures are still fresh in my mind. Take meetings, for example. In our Chinese culture, we call meetings to reach consensus about something. But if no consensus is possible that day, we will wait till the next meeting and continue. Americans, by contrast, expect to reach consensus directly from that meeting. And that means that they might have discussed matters among themselves prior to the meeting. Thus, when we had meetings with our American colleagues, there were different perceptions between the two sides from the very start. We felt as if they had formed a clique beforehand and had already deliberated and reached a decision. They, however, thought that we spoke in a roundabout way and that follow-up meetings were an inefficient way of working.
How did you respond to this challenge?
Fortunately, we came to recognize those differences and, as a consequence, worked out detailed "rules" for meetings. Before each meeting we determined whether it was a brainstorming session or one at which a decision must be made.
What about language barriers as you work globally?
We had many such challenges. In 2005, when we had just concluded the acquisition of IBM's PC business, the representatives from the two companies met in the United States. At the meeting, those of us from China were having a difficult time understanding what others were saying, even though we were wearing headphones for simultaneous translation. As it turns out, the interpreters were not professionally trained. Because of our silence, listening to a confusing translation, our foreign colleagues got the mistaken impressions that we were not interested in speaking up or contributing thoughts and ideas. Other differences would occasionally be apparent. For example, in the traditional Chinese culture, which emphasizes respect for others, one often hesitates to interrupt people when they are speaking. Many Americans, however, think differently. When one has spoken for a while, he or she will tend to expect questions from the participants before continuing. And the way you can sense that moment is that their voice will trail off a bit, signaling that it's okay to interrupt. However, many people are not fluent enough in English to discern that subtle change in an American speaker's voice.
What steps can companies take to overcome these differences and better integrate their cultures?
We have held numerous seminars with our global colleagues where both sides have shared views on cultural differences and each other's values, preferences and expectations. From those meetings, we came up with such catchphrases as "put what you want to say on the table" and "be true to your commitment." Thus, by promoting proper ways of doing things, we helped to establish mutual trust. We are still in the process of working through these cultural differences so we can all collaborate in more productive ways. Another concrete step we are taking is that all the non-English-speaking members of the management team are learning English. This helps us understand the needs and interests of more of our people and of course also helps us communicate more effectively with our managers. So going global is about much more than strategy; it is also about the people.

Energy Manager Q&A
Energy Manager Q&A.
BUILDINGS Content Director Chris Olson talks with Kevin Miller, principal of GSBS Architects, about energy priorities at Salt Lake City's 175,000-square-foot Public Safety Building. The new facility is scheduled to open in August.
Salt Lake City's mayor set very high expectations for energy in this building. What was the goal and how did you go about meeting it from the outset?
At first the stated goal was too general – a building that is as efficient as possible. We knew that we needed a more specific commitment from the city before we could draw a single line. Ultimately the city committed to a building with net-zero carbon emissions.
Very often the approach to a building is to figure out what the design is going to be and then hang some sustainability elements from it. We knew that we could not meet the net-zero goal for this building with that approach. Everything from the beginning would need to be done with that goal in mind.
How did you promote and maintain the energy focus among the team members?
One thing we use is what we call an "energy use thermometer." We decided that we would talk about energy at every weekly team meeting. We have continued this practice from concept design through construction documents. Even now, in the construction phase, we still bring up energy in our weekly meetings and evaluate any impacts taking place since the previous meeting.
How are you using an energy model for this building?
We have an energy engineer on staff and he built an energy model for the building. The model is continuously modified and adjusted to reflect design and construction impacts. Every design decision was evaluated with the model. For example, when we were looking at daylighting configurations, the model told us things like the percentage impact of various designs. The engineer gives an update on the model at each weekly meeting.
What challenges to energy efficiency did this building's program present?
Among the facility's occupants are the fire and police departments, and of course they have critical 24/7 operations and need a high level of security. So any energy-efficiency measures that might compromise critical operations could not be considered. Nevertheless, we felt that we had to win over the fire and police chiefs so that they recognized that they could contribute to the energy goal without sacrificing their requirements.
What did you do to get the buy-in of occupants on the energy goals?
We conducted workshops with the occupants to discuss energy matters. The workshops are put on video and circulate through YouTube so that everyone can see what is going on. The police department came up with the idea of shooting its own humorous video in which a SWAT team "arrests" an occupant who has a space heater.
What are some of the energy-efficient systems in the building?
The entry canopy has 3,000 square feet of PV panels and the roof has 22,000 square feet. There are also off-site PV panels. A vegetated roof helps to keep the building cool. The building has radiant floors and a chilled beam system.
What is key to achieving energy efficiency?
I think a key item is not to look at energy in isolation. Energy is a fourth leg of the stool along with budget, quality, and program. If you make a change with any one of the four, you must look at its effect on the others.

Degrees of Freedom in "Baseline model...
Mplus Discussion
Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Dmitriy Poznyak
posted on Tuesday, November 23, 2010 - 1:40 pm
I am trying to estimate a fairly simple and identical CFA model on a set of different countries. This is being done separately for every country.
The observed variables are measured and coded exactly the same in all cases (that is for all countries), but for whatever reason my degrees of freedom in the "Chi-square Test of Model Fit for the Baseline model" output section differ for some countries (ranging from 3 to, most frequently 5, if this is relevant). My degrees of freedom for the final model are always the same though and = 1, as would be expected. The fit of the separate models is adequate and quite nice - really no surprises here.
I am curious about this discrepancy in the "Baseline model" output and where it comes from. Does it necessarily point at any problem with the models?
Many thanks for your feedback,
Linda K. Muthen

Which estimator are you using? Which version of the program are you using?
Dmitriy Poznyak
posted on Tuesday, November 23, 2010 - 10:58 pm
I didn't specify an estimator, so I would imagine it's a default one. I need t check for the version, but I am sure it's version 5. Will check later at work
Dmitriy Poznyak
posted on Wednesday, November 24, 2010 - 1:57 am
I just upgraded to version 6 and the problem seems to be solved. Now the DFs in the baseline model are equal to the number of free parameters = 6. All other model fit estimates remain the same.
Not sure what was the reason of the problem in the previous version though. Can it possibly result from the fact that the CFA model I am estimating includes 3 categorical (2- 3- and 4- point scale) and 1 continious (11-point scale) variable?
Thanks again for your help,
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, November 24, 2010 - 6:25 am
This is because of the following change in Version 6:
New method for second-order chi-square adjustment for WLSMV, ULSMV, and MLMV resulting in the usual degrees of freedom
Prior to Version 6 for those estimators, chi-square and degrees of freedom were adjusted to obtain a correct p-value so only the p-value was interpretable.

Q: My pond is full of floating algae. How do I get rid of it?
C.J.- Dumas, AR
A: With summer temperatures settling in, algae blooms are coming out swinging. Bright sunshine and warm temperatures trigger green growth, so it's critical to keep floating and submerged algae in check before it grows out of control.
For the health of your pond and its inhabitants, keeping algae blooms to a minimum is necessary. Here's an approach that works to eliminate the green stuff and prevent it from taking over:
Treat the Growth
First, use an algaecide to great rid of the algae bloom. You can treat floating algae with a fast-acting liquid spray like Algae Defense® Algaecide with Treatment Booster™ PLUS, which treats floating algae and chara that's less than 3' deep. Simply spray it on with a pressurized sprayer to combat floating and bottom-growing algae.
Submerged algae can be treated with sinking granular products, such as Cutrine®-Plus. It works well for algae submerged deep in your pond or lake, such as Chara. It's best distributed on a calm day via a granular spreader in the morning before mats form.
Remove the Dead Algae
Once the algae is dead, you should remove it. Why? By leaving the dead foliage in the lake, it will start to break down and become nutrients—or algae food—for new blooms. It's a vicious cycle!
Use a pond skimmer, like the PondSkim™, or a rake, like the Pond & Beach Rake, to prevent that muck from accumulating.
Add Beneficial Bacteria
Three days after you've used algaecides, treat your pond with PondClear™. It contains beneficial bacteria that gobbles through the organic material that's suspended in the water column. The result is a lake filled with clean, clear, odor-free water—and a healthy ecosystem for your game fish and other pond inhabitants.
Shade Water with Pond Dye
Finally, be sure to add blue or black pond dye to your pond throughout the spring and summer. By reducing the amount of sunlight that shines through the water and stimulates plant growth, you will ultimately reduce the amount of algae.

Oakley and baseball go together as perfectly as a smooth fielding double play combination and they finally have merged into one as the Oakley Stadium Store recently made its debut at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. This marks the first Oakley store to open inside of a professional sporting venue and Oakley did it right, as this is as much of an experience as it is a store.
If you say the name Oakley, you immediately think sunglasses, but what they have created is so much more than something to block a little bit of sun. Oakley brings safety to the baseball field, but they are a perfect match to provide extra protection for your eyes in everyday life while also being stylish. What sets Oakley apart from everyone else? The high optical clarity, impact protection, lens curvature, semi-rimless lens design and light neutral colors. A perfect example of what Oakley brings to the baseball field came last year when MVP Miguel Cabrera was struck in the face by a batted ball that took a bad-hop. Teammates said they could see the imprint of the ball on his sunglasses that did not shatter. Had it not been for his Oakley sunglasses, you may very well not have seen the historical season that Cabrera had last year.
While you might not be an MVP on the field, the best part of the Oakley store is that they will make you fee like you are an MVP. When you walk in to the Oakley store you will immediately find the custom eyewear bar. You will be assisted by an Oakley expert who will help you pick the frame, lenses and color that will fit your needs. Oakley has made this an art, no more just grabbing some random glasses at a store, now you will have sunglasses that are made exactly for you and to make them even a little more personal Oakley has an engraving machine in the store. You can have your name, nickname or even have the Angels logo engraved right into your lenses and it looks amazing.
The Angels have not only teamed up with Oakley to open this store, but Oakley is now the official eyewear of Angels baseball. In addition, you are going to find some great Angels gear from t-shirts to sweatshirts in the store so you can take in the game in what high quality Oakley products that bare the Angels logo. You can join Angels Howie Kendrick and Mark Trumbo in your Oakley sunglasses and Angels gear.
While Oakley is the official eyewear of Angels Baseball, Oakley is far from limited to being beneficial to just baseball, there a number of sports that wearing a pair of Oakley sunglasses can make a difference. Golfers can benefit from the assortment of colored lenses, cyclists can protect their eyes from wind and flying objects, runners can protect their eyes from the sun and they are one of the few sunglasses that are comfortable to run in and in terms of water sports you can protect your eyes from the glare of the sun and the lenses can also easily shed water. The great thing about the Oakley store is that no matter what sport you are interested in, the Oakley expert can guide you to make sure get the exact pair of glasses to fit your needs. Not really into sports, don't worry, Oakley has a great line of cool and stylish sunglasses as well. Whatever you leave with, you will leave happy and looking good.

Shakespeare, Molière, musical romps, contemporary classics, comedies of all Jordi Galcerán's descriptions, cutting-edge new work — theater in Southern California is varied, plentiful and far-flung, from the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego and Center Theatre Group in downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica's Broad Stage and beyond. It is worth noting, however, that an abundance of eclectic small, midsize and large professional theaters in the San Gabriel and San Fernando Valleys contribute significantly to the mix.
Burbank Falcon Theatre
4252 Riverside Drive, Burbank
(818) 955-8101
The attractive 130-seat Falcon Theatre is the creation of iconic director/writer/producer Garry Marshall ("Happy Days," "Laverne & Shirley," "The Odd Couple") and his producer daughter, Kathleen Marshall LaGambina. Its trademark: solidly professional new work, premieres and revivals performed by noteworthy actors from film, Broadway and the local and regional stage. The Falcon's 2012-13 five-play subscription season opened this weekend with the American premiere of Jordi Galcerán's corporate comedy, "The Grönholm Method," Aug. 18 to Sept. 30. Upcoming: Neil Simon's "I Ought to Be in Pictures" (Oct. 19 to Nov. 11) and the acclaimed Troubadour Theater Company's new musical spoof, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReinDOORS" (Dec. 7 to Jan. 13).
GTC Burbank
George Izay Park, 1111-b W. Olive Ave., Burban
(818) 528-6622
The Grove Theater Center (GTC) opened in 1994 and became a three-venue operation in Garden Grove and Fullerton. Run by original founders Kevin Cochran and Charles Johanson, GTC took over the 98-seat black-box theater in Burbank's George Izay Park in 2001 and began focusing all of its efforts there in 2005. Its most recent show, a critically acclaimed production of Elmer Rice's 1920s classic, "The Adding Machine," had an extended run through Aug. 18. Many plays, however, are developed and launched through the theater's New Play Initiative. Other recent GTC successes include "Eternal Equinox," restaged Off Broadway last year; and Cochran's "Bobby & Matt," a 2011 New York Fringe Festival offering. GTC produces one to four plays a year, filling the downtime with outside productions. "Second Saturdays," a new children's matinee series presented by Enrichment Works, runs the second Saturday of each month.
Sidewalk Studio Theatre
4150 Riverside Drive, Burban
(818) 558-5702
Less than half a block over from the well-appointed Falcon Theatre is its lower-profile but intriguing neighbor, the 33-seat Sidewalk Studio Theatre, led by noted veteran director and teacher Sal Romeo. Most recently, Romeo directed the standout, very adult production of "Tennessee in the Summer," based on the life of Tennessee Williams. Upcoming: A September revival of Grant Kramer's award-winning solo show, "Shadow Boxing," followed by an original drama by Irish playwright Fionnuala Kenny tentatively scheduled for a December run.
Theatre Banshe
3435 W. Magnolia Blvd., Burban
(818) 846-5323
This small nonprofit theater company, established in 1994 by Sean Branney and Leslie Baldwin and specializing in (but not limited to) Irish plays and playwrights, offers a season of three well-produced shows annually in its 85-seat black-box theater. The company's recent production of "A Merchant of Venice," was an LA Weekly "Pick of the Week" that Los Angeles Times theater reviewer F. Kathleen Foley called "a richly cogent entertainment that honors every syllable of the Bard's text." Next up in late October, with dates to be announced: the U.S. premiere of "The Muesli Belt," by Jimmy Murphy, author of a previous Banshee success, "The Kings of the Kilburn High Road."
Victory Theatre Center:

3326 West Victory Blvd, Burbank
(818) 841-5421
Founded in 1979 by Co-Artistic Directors Maria Gobetti and Tom Ormeny, two respected professional theater makers and teachers, the Victory Theatre Center today consists of the 91-seat Big Victory main stage and the 48-seat Little Victory. Gobetti and Ormeny's strong support for emerging playwrights and new play development is central to the Victory's mission, and the company's productions have won numerous awards.
Dozens of world premieres include the Victory's 1980 inaugural show: Pulitzer Prize-winner Beth Henley's "The Miss Firecracker Contest." Now playing in the Big Victory through Sept. 16: "The Last Night Inn," three plays by Anthony Montes, presented by the faculty of the New York Film Academy, where Gobetti teaches.

Alex Theatre
216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale
(818) 243-2539
In addition to concerts, film screenings and a variety of other arts-related performance events, the landmark Alex Theatre — whose origins go back to 1920s vaudeville — is a regular home base for the Musical Theatre Guild, a nonprofit organization made up of theatrical professionals devoted to the preservation and quality presentation of musicals well-known and obscure, contemporary and classic. Stephen Sondheim, Terrence McNally, George Gershwin, Frank Loesser and Cole Porter are a tiny fraction of the composers, lyricists and book writers past and present spotlighted by MTG. These Actors' Equity-sanctioned productions — also presented at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza — are performed as staged readings with choreography by a deep talent pool of pros from the Broadway and regional musical stage. Upcoming: Irving Berlin's "Call Me Madam" (Nov. 19).
Glendale Centre Theatr
324 N. Orange St., Glendal
(818) 244-8481
The friendly, family-owned Glendale Centre Theatre, led by husband-and-wife producers Tim and Brenda Dietlein, was founded by Tim Dietlein's grandparents in 1947. With 440 seats to fill, the venerable community theater offers such crowd-pleasers as "Kiss Me, Kate" and "Fiddler on the Roof," as well as shows for children. Productions in recent years have included professional actors under Guest Artist Equity contracts. The theater's recent production of "On Golden Pond" featured noted veteran stage pros Salome Jens and Andrew Prine. Upcoming: "Little Shop of Horrors" (Aug. 23 to Oct. 6), "And Then There Were None" (Oct. 18 to Nov. 17), GCT's 48th annual production of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" (Nov. 13 to Dec. 24).
Vanguard Repertory Company
5401 Morella Ave. #3, Valley Village (corporate office)
(818) 745-3327
Vanguard Rep recently finished its third annual professional "La Cañada Flintridge Shakespeare Festival" — innovative Equity productions of Shakespearean classics adapted to run 90 minutes or less — at Byrnes Amphitheatre on the grounds of the Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy. Watch for its return next summer. Established in 2007 by Matthew Kellen Burgos and Sam Ross for the creation of new works and adaptations, and as a conduit for new projects and artists to other L.A.-area venues, Vanguard Rep also runs a comprehensive theater conservatory program. The company has new works in development and plans to expand its calendar of productions within the next year.
A Noise Within
3352 E. Foothill Blvd., Pasadena
(626) 356-3100
A Noise Within, Los Angeles' leading professional classical theater company, launched its 20th anniversary season last fall with "Twelfth Night," the inaugural production at its new 33,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art digs in Pasadena. Previously housed in Glendale in a former Masonic Temple, this much-lauded theater company, led by husband-and-wife co-founders and Co-Artistic Directors Geoff Elliott and Julia Rodriguez-Elliott, has seen its subscriber base nearly double since it made the gutsy move to the new multimillion-dollar venue. Upcoming: Shakespeare's "Cymbeline" (Sept. 29 to Nov. 18), "The Doctor's Dilemma," by George Bernard Shaw (Oct. 20 to Nov. 25) and "A Christmas Carol" (Dec. 8 to 23).
Pasadena Playhouse
39 S. El Molino Ave., Pasadena
(626) 356-7529
Designated the State Theater of California in 1937 and today one of this country's major nonprofit regional theaters, the 684-seat Pasadena Playhouse still operates out of the elegant Spanish Colonial Revival style building that it has called home since 1925. Its future has been shaky at times, but after emerging from a short period of bankruptcy in 2010, the theater, under the stalwart leadership of Artistic Director Sheldon Epps, has had a string of high-profile successes — "Blues for an Alabama Sky," "Art," "The Heiress" and "Jitney" (a co-production with South Coast Repertory) among them. Recent productions that have gone on to national tours, or to Broadway or Off Broadway runs, include "Looped" with Valerie Harper, "Sister Act: The Musical" and "Baby It's You." Upcoming: "Under My Skin," a world premiere comedy (Sept. 19 to Oct. 7), Lynn Nottage's "Intimate Apparel" (Nov. 6 to Dec. 2) and "A Snow White Christmas," a Lythgoe Family Production (Dec. 13 to 23).
Theatre @ Boston Court
70 N. Mentor Ave., Pasadena
(626) 683-6883
The lavish 99-seat Theatre @ Boston Court, home to edgy and bold artist-driven new work, opened in 2003 at the Boston Court Performing Arts Center. Its highly theatrical, thought-provoking, often movement-based offerings are informed by the complementary creative visions of Co-Artistic Directors Jessica Kubzansky and Michael Michetti. The theater's critically acclaimed presentation of "The Government Inspector," a world premiere adaptation of the Nikolai Gogol classic — and a co-production with the equally edgy Furious Theatre Company — runs through Aug. 26. Upcoming: "Creation," a world premiere play by Kathryn Walat (Oct. 13 to Nov. 11).
Parson's Nose Productions
Lineage Performing Arts Center, 89 S. Fair Oaks Ave., Pasadena
(626) 403-7667
A company of classically trained artists in residence at the Lineage Performing Arts Center, Parson's Nose was founded in 2000 by actors Lance Davis and Mary Chalon with a mission "to introduce classic theater to audiences of all ages." The company's broad-stroke, one-hour adaptations of comedies by Shakespeare, Molière, Goldoni and other classic playwrights and authors can be memorable for their hilarity, particularly when Davis, Michael Manuel and other longtime company members take the stage. Upcoming: "Reader's Theatre: A Christmas Carol" (Dec. 22 and 23).
Fremont Centre Theatre
1000 Fremont Ave., South Pasadena
(626) 441-5977
The 75-seat professional Fremont Centre Theatre, housed in an atmospheric, 1920s-era building (it was once a mortuary), opened in 1997 under the founding leadership of Co-Artistic Directors and married stage and screen actors James and Lissa Reynolds. Emphasizing new plays and emerging playwrights, the theater's eclectic offerings range from the world premiere of "National Pastime" (the story of Jackie Robinson) and Lissa Reynolds' touring signature show, "A Woman of Independent Means," to FCT's most recent show, "Holding On — Letting Go," an exploration of illness and end-of-life issues, and Ray Bradbury's Pandemonium Theatre shows. Now running: a guest production of "How Obama Got His Groove Back," a new comedy (Aug. 18 to Oct. 7). (Full disclosure: My daughter joined FCT's staff in 2010.)
