Text of the page (random words):
stronauts doing a hypnotic space walk at the top of the show best of all she had no idea that was unusual of course as this was her first circus she also loved the skaters contortionists trapeze artists and especially the performing pooches mommy on the other hand couldn t believe the act in which two ice skaters floated from the ice to the air engaging in a high risk aerial pas de deux of course midair acrobatics is nothing new if you are familiar with the cirque aesthetic but i can t imagine pulling it off with sharp blades strapped to your feet daphne for her part didn t understand why it was thrilling to watch seven motorcyclists zoom around inside a silver orb yikes but she was impressed by the ring of fire at the climax of the show and we both adored the big cats indeed some of the tigers seemed downright cranky swiping their gigantic paws rather close to the trainer s face which made the act all the more suspenseful the pace of the circus is fast and furious so that even little ones won t get bored although sometimes there is so much to watch that it s hard to know what to focus on i also found myself missing some of the old school circus feel i remember from back in the day of course that s not a concern for the cotton candy craving target demographic particularly in the tech obsessed bay area where next generation audiences seem primed for a circus that combines lions and tigers and apps oh my tags circus posted in karen d souza theater no comments john leguizamo teaches latin history for dummies at berkeley rep april 5th 2016 by karen d souza latin history

to season ticket holders march 13th 2015 by david pollak san jose i figured joe thornton might have something to say about doug wilson s comments to season ticket holders last night i didn t really expect him to toss a grenade i think doug just needs to shut his mouth i think that s the bottom line thornton said all i ve got to say is i ve been here every day working hard i haven t taken a sabbatical he just needs to stop lying shut his mouth harsh words that i m sure you ve read elsewhere before now and the reaction has been predictably large the story filed for saturday s print edition and available online here raises but admittedly doesn t answer the bigger question how fractured is this franchise i ve dipped into the comments section on the previous posting and see that there are issues about my role in all this fair enough and i can understand that wilson did say several times during that session directing his comments at me in particular that the information was not to leave the room for one thing i don t actually work by those rules some 350 people in a room in this day of social media the information could leave the room 350 different ways yes i d have to consider the consequences of reporting what i hear i get that but more importantly the question about the captaincy was not one of those times when the general manager tried to keep a lid on his answer readers were also asking about the context of the comments and that s fair too quotes get boiled down in every story and this one was no exception most of that is clarity and readability part of that is time and deadlines the two self guiding principles are 1 do not alter the meaning and 2 keep everything in context so in the interest of transparency i went back and transcribed the original question and wilson s entire response you ll see things were condensed i ll also mention that the story did preface wilson s quotes by saying he did praise thornton before getting started

pollak yes there is a newsworthy development today in the nhl lockout the league s latest offer calls for a 50 50 revenue split and reportedly no salary rollbacks that last issue has been huge with the players so if that s an accurate representation this is significant progress nhlpa rep donald fehr treated the new offer as a legitimate one said his executive committee would meet at 2 p m pdt today and get back to the league by tomorrow no i don t think this means a settlement is necessarily in sight there are always at least a dozen issues that all tie in does this call for no free agency before 35 i doubt it but who knows but this does provide the first glimmer of hope that hockey will be played since the lockout begain normally i wouldn t do what i m about to do but here s the unedited press release the nhl just sent out if we get something similar from donald fehr later i ll add that too bettman good afternoon everyone bill daly and i just spent the last hour with don and steve fehr and i would like to briefly report to you on what was discussed as i think all of you know we have been extremely disappointed and that s an understatement that we ve been unable to get these negotiations on the essential elements moving forward so today we began by discussing with don and steve that if we were to drop the puck on november 2nd for the start of the regular season we could preserve an 82 game schedule for the regular season and play full playoffs as we normally do and be done before the end of june we very much want to preserve a full 82 game season and in that light we made a proposal an offer really that is our best shot at preserving an 82 game regular season and playoffs and this offer that we made obviously was contingent upon having an 82 game regular season a lot of you know we don t negotiate publicly and i m not going to break that habit because i don t think it s constructive the fact of the matter is we offered a 50 50 share of hrr hockey related revenues and we believe we addressed the concern that players have about what happens to their salaries as a result in this year of reducing the percentage from 57 to 50 beyond that i don t want to get into the substance other than to say we believe that this was a fair offer for a long term deal and it s one that we hope gets a positive reaction so that we can drop the puck on november 2nd which backing up entails at least a one week training camp so we have about nine or ten days to get this all put to bed signed sealed and delivered in order for this offer to be effective and for us to move forward we hope that this effort that we ve undertaken today would be successful because we know how difficult this all has been for everybody associated with the game particularly our fans

a self respecting theater critic but i must admit that i took a moment to nurture my inner pop culture addict with a geeky little happy dance brushing aside pesky details like the fact that this once pulse pounding show now regularly sucks a little and the fact that the whole touched by an angel plot is about as gripping as an actuarial table and the little matter of them practically dropping the classic rock score that made the show pop in the first place breathe in times like this we take what we can get and in the eye candy department is jensen ackles just getting cuter or is it me supernatural just can t be beat although we still can t help hoping that the show will return to a little of its past glory the woman in white the bloody mary thing heck even the ghost ship episode was better than this tired evangelic holy war stuff before the show wraps and we go into mourning official first buffy now this how much can a girl take posted in karen d souza theater tv no comments theater in new york kin april 13th 2011 by richard scheinin just getting into my tour of new york theater first stop was kin bathsheba doran s fine new ensemble work a comedy drama at playwrights horizons doran builds her piece around the character of a young columbia university adjunct professor named anna kristen bush who has just published a book of academic arcana titled keats s punctuation her career is on the rise but her relationships are as bumpy as anyone s and through the revolving doors of her life we the audience go meeting her irish personal trainer boyfriend patch darragh her hippie narcissist best friend laura heisler her rigid military man father cotter smith and so on most of the scenes are duets and as the evening advances the relationships keep growing and criss crossing skillfully exploring the gray areas between friends and family members opportunities missed and met directed by sam gold kin throws life at us a big stew of love annoyance boredom striving risk taking hurt humor and connection mostly connection and there are surprises that stone hard military may turns out to be the one who tries the hardest loves the hardest takes the most risks and keeps on changing early in the play his lover kay gives him some essential life advice for god s sake man give chase and he does cotter smith commands the stage goes to the core of this decent and genuine man i really fell for helena too she is your most annoying and endearing friend someone who announces i decided to take a catnap and it turned into a sleep o rama she is self involved but not so much as we initially are led to think she reads keats s punctuation three times sees universality and beauty in its explications of periods and ellipses and we slowly realize that helena is an emotional fuel line for those around her heisler is wide open to the part she is funny hurt trying generous we believe all her contradictions this is strongly wrought ensemble writing is it deep i m not sure doran works in television too and there s something hbo ish about her rollout and interweaving of characters bringing the nine characters of kin to fulfillment would require more episodes you know a full season of kin still this brief introduction gives us plenty to chomp on playwrights horizons mainstage theater 416 w 42nd st 212 279 4200 ticketcentral com posted in arts
