ABOUT TO BE GONE FOREVER!
As you guys know from my previous emails, the legendary RAINBO Records, who has been the pressing plant for BOMP/VOXX/AIP and ALIVE since the 70's, has suddenly gone out of business, and we're scrambling to get things in order. We are forced to let many titles go out of print, and some great music is about to be lost to history, so get the last copies while you can! All of the label titles listed are RAINBO pressings, sure to be collectible in the future. Lots of last copies of RAINBO TEST PRESSINGS listed in our WAREHOUSE FINDS section too.
In addition to that we have some IMPORT restocks and a couple of new items, including a gorgeous BLACK DIAMOND HEAVIES BOX SET with artwork unique to this box. If you don't know the Heavies, you should…
"Their attack of drums and keyboards is a mean, fucked up, gospel punky hybrid and rocks with ragged, soulful passion." - Rock Sound.
"Some of the roughest soul/blues punk I've ever heard." – Lowcut
ALSO just added, a nice autographed color vinyl from RADIO MOSCOW. Perfect for a holiday gift!
Thanks for all guys, happy shopping.

DUNGEN- TIO BITAR (Swedish psych)Label SUBLIMINAL SOUNDS Over the past two years, the profile of Swedish psychedelic rockers Dungen has grown at an alarming rate, from a cult studio project into a worldwide musical phenomenon. And on Tio Bitar, we're hearing the end results of an outpouring of success and support - one which has, for once, inspired the creative processes at hand to make something wholly new and original, yet remaining within the same sphere of emotions that fostered Dungen's three previous albums. Gustav Ejstes, Dungen's founder and principal member, made Tio Bitar (translated, "Ten Pieces") - a bracing display of psychedelic rock, presented with a bright, avid confidence largely by himself, with the assistance of guitarist Reine Fiske. Gustav wrote the songs, and played all of the instruments on his own, with Reine on many lead guitar and bass parts; his style of play puts him well within the top ranks of modern guitar heroes past and present. First pressing is a limited edition in a silver foil slipcase of 8,000 copies CD $10 SKU:6027

RON & SPLINTERS- Go Ron Go (60s style garage pop) -Label:Inbetweens his collaboration between Dutch veteran Ron Splinter (lead guitarist of the seminal the Outsiders) and '80s Neiderbeat/garage revivalists Michel Tertsegen and Marcel Kruup (the Otherside), the Kiek and current instro act the Treble Spankers is so much more endearing for the fact that is a labor of love. And that's no bad thing. Four thirty-something beat fans talking one of their heroes into forming a band with them and it coming off is nearly miraculous. Splinter was such a unique guitarist with the Outsiders and it's so nice to see that he's still got it. Many musicians who "made it" in the '60s for some reason late opted for resorting to heavy metal riffs and a complete loss of what made them special. Thankfully it hasn't happened to "unsung legend of rock & roll" Splinter. This certainly won't sell a million, or make the band rich, but that's what makes it even better -- it's from the heart! As a homage to the jangly guitar sound of the '60s that Splinter perfected, here, obviously inspired by his younger buddies, the band ploughs through carefully selected covers of '60s garage/folk-rock tracks: Lowell George's early garage/folk-rock outfit the Factory's "Lost"; Buffalo Springfield's "Burned"; an out-of-character folky Townsend song not released until 1983 on Scoop, "Things Have Changed"; the Texas garage pop gem "Rejected" originally recorded by Sterling Damon in 1966 for International Artists; The Trashmen's venture into folk-rock "Hanging on Me"; and the Kinks' "Don't Ever Let Me Go." Along with these spirited takes, that are only slightly marred by Tertsegen's vocals, are a working of the unfinished Outsiders' cut "Space Demo," which was probably intended for CQ, and a new Kinks type Diddley instro-shuffle called "I." This set isn't mind-blowing by any reach, but to hear the Outsiders' guitarist perform some '60s obscurities will certainly please many. CD $6 SKU:18754

"The songs are built on acoustic guitars, then the tricked-out electric guitars are laid on top and garnished with bongos, organs, pianos, and all sorts of classic instruments. Stephen Lawrie's vocals are restrained and semi-emotional and female backing vocals add a touch of sweetness that might otherwise be missing from the record, as the overall atmosphere is very moody and introspective." - AMG LP $30 SKU:11494
TELESCOPES -As Approved By the Committee FUSCHIA VINYL, last few copiesLabel:BOMP Originally released in the US in 2003 on CD only, this album compiles some of the band's earliest and best work, with material mostly out of print (and all of it previously unreleased in the USA), which originally appeared, with frequent chart success, on labels like Creation and What Goes On. The Telescopes were among the most innovative and challenging yet successful artists in Creation Records' "middle period", a leading part of the wave of sonic experimenters who included Spacemen 3, My Bloody Valentine, Spectrum and Spiritualized. Part of the British shoegazing movement given impetus by the JESUS AND MARY CHAIN and spearheaded by MY BLOODY VALENTINE, the TELESCOPES' sound borrowed from those two bands while adding their own garage punk flavor, experimenting with violins, trumpets, and dynamic contrasts. The vinyl version includes liner notes.

TELLTALE HEARTS- High Tide (snotty mid-60s style garage punk with R&B and blues influence )LAST COPIES Label:VOXX Anthology '83-'86 - 21 cuts, including 9 previously unreleased, highlight this killer compilation from San Diego's version of the Shadows Of Knight. Back in the days of the mid-80s "garage revival" scene that revolved around the Cavern Club, there was no doubt that the Tell-Tale Hearts led the pack of "paisley underground" bands that were popping up everywhere. They combined primitive and snotty mid-60s garage punk with R&B and blues influences, and had in Ray Brandes a great vocalist. Bill Calhoun played the keys, Eric Bacher was the guitarist, Dave Klowden the powerhouse drummer, and Mike Stax (publisher of the great Ugly Things fanzine) the "bass that ate San Diego." These guys had it all: the "look," the sound, and the carefree attitude. CD $15 SKU:2143
BEYOND THE CALICO WALL - VA (60s psych)Label:VOXX The good people who put together this compilation set out to accomplish no less daunting a task than collecting the most bizarre and extreme underground psychedelic music recorded in the 1960's, and, for the most part, the choices seem to be right on the money. The collection starts off with "The Trip" by Park Avenue Playground, a song that bursts out of the gate with an explosion of fuzz guitar, organ, and mad siren-like oscillating effects, coming at you from all directions, seemingly. Next up is "Suzie's gone" by Afterglow, definitely one of the weirdest singles ever. The singer moans "so...my...world...is...messed...up!" in the most detached voice possible over a staccato organ and drum part, leading to a guitar solo that soon collapses into no recognizable conventional song structure. No less amazing is "Mt. Olympus" by The Flower Power, which starts off as an innocuous and somewhat introspective sounding piece until a wild heavily chorused guitar break, which only slightly warns you of the totally anarchic feedback and free-form noise ending -- which goes on for over a minute in a 3:40 single! Then you get a bizarre sci-fi/horror tale in "The pulse" by Burritt Bradley, and an incredible reading of The Electric Prunes' "I had too much to dream last night" by Rasputin and the Mad Monks, with weird proto-techno sound effects, backwards vocals, and production effects making the backing track fade in and out, creating a disturbing sensory assault. Other highlights include "An experiment in terror" by The Greek Fountains, which is a strange polyrhythmic instrumental, and "Up in my mind" by The Spontaneous Generation, which surely has to rank as one of the most aggressive 60's psych records ever made, with waves of vibrato guitar and insistent wah wah riffing. Also worthwhile is "The electronic insides and metal complexion that make up Herr Dr. Krieg," by The Riders of the Mark, which musically isn't quite as strange as its title, but comes close! The weirdness factor decreases somewhat as the c.d. progresses, and a sloppy but straightforward cover of "In a gadda da vida" by Six Feet Under makes for a pretty uninteresting closer, but the good material here makes this an essential purchase. Buy it if you like psychedelia, experimental or Incredibly Strange Music. Robert Schell (Townsville, Texas) COMP CD $10 SKU:22106

Dunwich Records was an independent American record label started by Bill Traut, Eddie Higgins and George Badonsky in Chicago in 1965. Dunwich was also a production company which licensed recordings to other labels, including Atlantic, Atco, Columbia, Mercury and SGC. The label was primarily known for the release of singles from the emerging Chicago rock scene in the 1960s. Only two artists, the Shadows of Knight and Amanda Ambrose,actually released LPs on the label. They were later absorbed by ATCO Records but, for one brief shining moment...they ruled the airwaves!Garage tracks from a/o Shadows of Knight Things To Come/Del-Vettes/Rovin' Kind etc .

BLAIR 1523 (Spacemen 3 related ) Beautiful Debris (brought to us by Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3 -Psych/Drone ) LAST COPIES! -Label:VOXX LAST COPIES (Voxx 060) Brought to us by Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3, this remarkable band from the bucolic shire of Cornwall had a variety of strengths, from strong pop songwriting to a penchant for extended freakout jams, all of which is captured on this, the only record they made before sadly breaking up. To those few fortunate enough to have heard it, it remains an esoteric favorite.. Psychedelic swirl/drone pop Early Floyd/ Elevators sound by his amazing UK band. "This album is worth buying for the cover alone. Dripping with glassy pastels of brilliant greens, pinks, purples, yellows and blues, the art work complements a round of houka hits supremely. The music picks up where Syd Barrett and early Pink Floyd left off in the '60s." - American Music Press

GRAVEDIGGER V - All Black & Hairy (60 PEBBLES style Classic cave garage) BLUE Label:VOXX 1984 RECORDING. ORIGINAL RAINBO PRESSING. The one proper album the band released in its lifetime, All Black and Hairy is both perfectly named and perfectly performed -- if it's nothing but a re - All Black & Hairy LTD ED of 150 CLEAR BLUE VINYL! (60 style Classic cave garage ) -vivalist approach at heart, it's such a damn entertaining one that there's no cause for complaint. With its title track taken from the appropriately goonball back catalog of Screamin' Lord Sutch and its general snot-mouthed attitude from every last Nuggets and Pebbles selection ever, about the only thing missing are the lava lamps and garage stink. Saying the band uses the right combination of fuzztone guitars and echo and heavy frug rhythms is a bit like saying the sky is blue -- it's just one of those things to be expected -- but the sheer energy and abandon present keep everything from simply retracing the past to no point. Leighton's credit is for "lead screaming," and that about sums it up -- he's not so much singing as pulling off the ultimate teen-wannabe-Mick Jagger performance, only even more aggressively snotty. Ted Friedman's lead guitar solos with the right rave-up spirit and John Hanrattie keeps the core melodies going, while the Tom Ward/David Anderson rhythm section aims to get rears shaking instead of sitting. The album is half split between inspired originals (check out the concluding "Stoneage Stomp") and actual songs from the time, the latter resulting in fun versions of tracks like the Uncalled For's "Do Like Me" and Larry & the Bluenotes' "Night of the Phantom." About the only thing missing is the original studio recording of the band's best number, "It's Spooky," but anyone wanting a quick blast of '60s punk thrills filtered through later years could do much worse than to dig this one up.

HAUNTED - Blow my Little Mind to Bits -LAST COPIES of great 60s garage-Label:VOXX LAST COPIES One of Canada's most popular homegrown rock groups in the '60s, though they made no inroads to the rest of North America. From the English-speaking community of Montreal, the group was very explicit in their desire to emulate the Rolling Stones, and most of their 1966-1968 singles (as well as their sole LP, from 1967) were in a raunchy R&B/blues-rock style. Their most successful single, "1-2-5," gained fame when it was reissued on one of the first Pebbles compilations of garage singles in the '70s. All of their material was reissued in the '80s. LP $15 SKU:22118
HEAD -ST (1992-Obscure 60s style psych Creem, Led Zep style)last copies - Label:VOXX ORIGINAL PRESSING. Unfairly, this album has always remained obscure, even among Voxx releases. Perhaps this is due to their style, which is freeform and creative, rather than the formulaic approach audiences seem to prefer. With influences ranging from Cream to Led Zep to little-known British bands like July, Head blew a lot of minds in Los Angeles in the early '90s with their light show and extended trip-jams. For their album debut, they chose a different approach: using all the studio tricks at their command to make a finely-crafted collage of sounds designed to flow through a listener's most spaced-out headphone session. But this long album also includes most of their live freakout favorites, and there are frequent moments of sublime ensemble playing. [12/92] Greg Shaw LP $15 SKU:22115
LEOPARDS - Magic Still Exists (Repress of the orig 1987 Kinks-style garage release ) GREEN Label:VOXX In 1987 The Leopards sounded as wonderfully Kinky as ever, and when the band got around to releasing Magic Still Exists, the Kinks had a lower profile than ever, which made this album a most welcome arrival.

SS-20 -Dream Life.(rare Voxx 60s style psych) LAST COPIES - Label:VOXX rare early BOMP release nearly out out print,Put together Bruce Wagner, an amazingly nuanced guitarist terminally influenced by '60s psychedelic rock, with Madeline Ridley, a goth queen who prayed to Jim Morrison and Syd Barrett almost as often as she slit her own wrists, throw in ace drummer David Winogrond (Skooshny, Davie Allen, Sylvia Juncosa) and ace producer Gary Stern, add astonishing cover versions of "My Eyes Have Seen You" (Doors), "Penetration" (Stooges) and a brach of vampiric originals, and you have this sleeping gem of an album. Fantastic instrumental improvisation nailed to a mesmerizingly gloomy vocal presence makes for an album that, if you haven't heard it, you really should be asking yourself why... [6/86] Greg Shaw Voxx caught the rebounding Sky on a four-song 1986 7-inch shared with soothing/scathing psych punks SS-20, whom the aging guru had first augmented/sabotaged (according to one's point of view) onstage during his unexpected resurgence in Hollywood in the early '80s, when he would climb up unannounced to join every single band of the then-popular garage contingent spearheaded by Greg Shaw's Voxx label and Cavern Club. Originally a kick, it quickly became a drag to the young Beatle-booted hipsters, and a band called Purple Electricity was cooked up as a stake through Sky's hollow heart. Featuring the McDonald brothers from Redd Kross and Primate Brian Corrigan on drums, the intent was to daze and confuse Mr. Saxon, as well as any sycophants still blindly following. Drawing heavily from familiar '70s metal tunes, the blatantly unrehearsed music of the March '86 show documented on Private Party is matched with a disconnected and distracted Sky, recorded in glorious walkmanorama. Just to cap off this travesty, all of the songs — including indisputable covers — are credited to SS Saxon. LP $15 SKU:2299

More than any other factor, these compilations [in the Pebbles series] were responsible for the resurgence of interest in garage rock, which remains high among collectors to this day."

The Cuernavaca Residence is the latest installment in an evolving constructed landscape on a two-acre family compound that is shared by the client and her sister. Nestled in a wooded lot, the home forms an ensemble with an existing pool house. The latter's board-formed concrete walls establish the material basis for the new residence, which is home to a family of five and includes two home offices. The house features a restrained vocabulary of rift sawn oak, mill finished steel, galvanized metal panels, and concrete—that alternates in orientation and pattern. Taken together, these materials create an environment rich in texture and animated by sun and shade over the course of a day.
The house slips between the existing pool house and a magnificent live oak, defining discrete terrains on the property. Long views are established: east to the limestone shelf of the Colorado River; north to a rolling meadow; west to a grove of oaks and the shared pool house. A double-height porch, with an outdoor fireplace, provides an outdoor family room; a second-floor roof deck affords constant breezes and stunning views to the limestone cliffs. Aligned with these natural features, the house welcomes engagement with circumstances of this particular landscape as the owners move through their home; further, the house provides a sense of the entire property in incidental moments.


Most school programs attempt to teach children to memorize math facts during the elementary school years. Once the child has learned the basic concepts of addition and subtraction, the focus moves to memorization. Later, the same process is repeated when multiplication and division are introduced. Learning math facts will help children become more proficient in mental math (completing calculations in their head) processes. In addition, memorized math facts make more complex math calculations less cumbersome. There are many ways to go about memorizing math facts. The following review includes traditional methods as well as modern math fact curriculum options.
One of the most popular ways to memorize math facts is by practicing with flash cards.
Organize the cards into smaller groups. Review the fact group until it is memorized. For fluency, the answer should be stated within a few seconds of presenting the card. You will want to avoid calculating out the answer with each presentation. Periodically review mastered facts to ensure the information stays in long-term memory.
You can change the order to randomize the presentation of the facts simply by shuffling the cards. The cards can be grouped in any way that works for the learner. For example, mastered cards can be grouped together for periodic review. Newly mastered facts can be grouped together for more frequent review. Cards that are being currently worked on can be grouped for daily review. The remaining cards (those not covered yet) can be kept together and pulled from when the learner is ready for additional facts.
Flash cards are also useful for assessing progress with other math fact programs. The oral component of flash cards will allow a child to learn the information without having to write. This may be very beneficial for children who easily tire from fine motor tasks.
Flash card practice may not work with all children. Although studying with flash cards is a method that works for many people, they do not work for me.
Flash cards relatively inexpensive. You can even make your own on paper or index cards. If a child is not making progress over the course of a couple weeks with a flash card method, it is time to try something else.
A variety of DVDs and CDs are available to teach the math facts as songs.
Listen to the songs. You may want to focus on one song at a time. Once the information is learned, move onto another fact song.
Some children have an easier time remembering the facts if they are in a song format.
Songs may not work for all children. If the child has memorized the facts in the song, they may need to sing through the entire song to remember the fact they are trying to retrieve from memory. This would not be an efficient recall process.
If a child is inclined to learn information in a song format, this method is worth a try. If you do decide to adopt the music format, I would recommend using it as a supplement. Use another method to teach and practice the facts and use the songs for additional exposure. I do like and use Multiplication Unplugged for teaching skip counting. Skip counting is a pre-requisite skill for learning the concept of multiplication. Counting by 5s is necessary for learning to read an analog clock. Skip counting can also be used to calculate the answers to multiplication and division problems prior to memorizing the multiplication facts.
A worksheet is presented and a child is asked to complete the set of facts within a specified time. Once the child can complete the activity quickly and accurately, the child is given a new worksheet to work on.
Timed worksheets will provide regular practice to build fact fluency. You can graph the results to show progress over time with each set.
As the worksheets are printed, students may memorize the order of answer rather than the answer to each fact.
Some students become very stressed by timed activities. This can be overcome by keeping the timed information to yourself.
Some students may also feel overwhelmed by the number of problems on each page.
Answering the problems requires a lot of writing. This limitation can be overcome by 1) allowing the student to dictate the answer to a scribe, or 2) to complete the practice sheet orally.
If the student continues to calculate the answer to each problem rather than remembering the answer, I would recommend stopping the review worksheets. Instead, try a method that uses visual memory or games to build fluency.
Similar to the previously mentioned timed fact practice sheets, the 9's Down method also uses worksheets to build fact fluency. The main difference is the way the math facts are presented and organized. The first worksheets start with only a few facts in the 9's, and then gradually add in more and more with each worksheet. Over time, all of the math facts will be covered while providing the most practice with the harder facts.
A worksheet is presented and a child is asked to complete the set of facts within a specified time frame. Once the child can complete the activity quickly and accurately (suggested rates are included in the program), the child will begin practicing additional facts with the next worksheet in the series.
The organization of this fact program will allow students to get the most practice with the more difficult fact families. The sequence taught is logical and adds in more facts gradually.
Like the other timed math practice sheets, some children will feel very stressed with timed requirements. If this is a challenge, either keep the information to yourself or eliminate the time requirements.
Some children will be overwhelmed by the number of problems on the page.
I recommend this program for daily math fact practice using math adaptations as needed. I currently use the 9's down multiplication practice program, but cut the worksheets into 2-3 rows of problems for daily practice.
Each lesson begins with reading through a picture book. The book is discussed as it applies to the fact set. After the discussion the lesson moves on to a practice activity.
This math fact curriculum presents the information for each fact set in an organized way. The lesson attempts to tie in prior knowledge of the students prior to working on the math facts.
I bought these books with high hopes. Each fact set lesson lists a book that should be read to the child. Although I had some of the picture books already, I ended up having to spend a lot of money on new and used books to teach the program. I did check our local library; however, most of the books listed were not available there.
I do not recommend these books for a few reasons. First, I think that Kate Snow's fact books or Evan-Moor's Building Math Fluency (see reviews below) are a better purchases. The additional cost for the required literature connection can be substantial. Lastly, although I felt like my children had some progress with this program, it really was minimal progress. The included activities were not as fun as those included in Kate Snow's books.
These books attempt to teach children to memorize the math facts by turning each fact into a story. Although there are slight differences between the way the two authors present the facts, I am reviewing these two math fact curriculum programs together due to the similar story-based/visual-association format.
Each number is given a cooresponding visual representation. First the student is taught to remember the visual image that goes with the number. For example, in Liautaud's books, the number 3 is to be associated with a bee. In Walker's book, 3 is associated with a tree. Once the associations have been memorized, a story is presented to help the child remember each fact.
The method used in these books utilizes visual memory to teach the math facts. Children who are good at remembering pictures may benefit from learning the facts in this way.
Each fact has its own story, so there is a lot of information for the children to remember.
Children may rely on the visual cue to get the answer rather than the fact problem.
These books does not include a procedure to fade out the visual cue.
Although this method may work with some children, I think there are better math fact curriculum options. This book did not work for my child. I even tried creating a series of my own fact cards that faded out the visual cues. It just did not work. The images seemed like they were actually blocking fluent recall.
Building Math Fluency teaches computation strategies so a child can quickly figure out the correct answer. The book includes computation strategy instruction and practice pages, math fact fluency pages/tests, and flash cards. CLICK HERE to read my more detailed review of this book.
Of all of the math fact curricula I have tried, this is the one that worked to help my children with their addition and subtraction computation skills. I highly recommend using Building Math Fluency.
The facts that Stick books teach a set of math facts and then provide practice in a game format.
For each fact set, a child is taught the concepts and given a strategy for remembering the information. A fun practice game is described for daily practice. Review worksheets are also included.
Games provide a fun way to practice the facts. The activities do not feel like school work and may be intrinsically motivating for many children. Rather than calculating answers by counting, students are encouraged to remember what the answers look like using a 10-frame.
The games require a few inexpensive additional materials. A set of face cards and a die are all that are needed.
The books claim that children will be able to learn their math facts over the course of 6 weeks. This may not be true for all children. Children who struggle to learn math facts may take longer to learn the material.
I do recommend trying this math fact curriculum for teaching and practicing math facts as one that may work for children who enjoy playing games.
I used the addition book with one of my children. We took much longer to go through each fact family. Rather than using the 10-frame method, we used an abacus. This abacus just works better for my child while still providing a way to visualize the solution. As we moved on to more fact families, previously learned facts were forgotten. Due to retention difficulties, we stopped using program.
Times tales is a mnemonic-based visual program that teaches the upper multiplication facts.
Children watch the fact stories played out in video-based format. The answer to each fact uses a memory cue that will allow the child to quickly remember the correct answer. Each segment is reviewed for mastery before moving on to a new section. The videos use a time-delay procedure for mastering the fact sets presented. Practice worksheets are also included.
The video based format ensures that the facts are presented in the intended way. The stories presented serve as triggers for remembering the correct fact answers.
As with any method, this math fact curriculum may not work for all children. The visual format requires the ability to focus on the screen. If a child cannot pay attention to the movie, he will not benefit from this format. The Times Tale company offers a free download to try their method with four math facts. Downloading the free facts will allow you to get a good feel for whether or not this method will work with your child.
I highly recommend the Times Tales math fact curriculum. As an adult who has struggled to learn math facts my whole life, this is the only program that worked for me. This program, in combination with regular regular review and practice, will help most children learn their upper multiplication facts. Click on the following link to try the free math facts to see if this program will work for your child risk-free: Memory Trigger – Math Term Memorization Made Easy!
There are a variety of ways to go about building math fact fluency. Flash cards and timed tests are the traditional go-to methods. Other math fact curriculum options may work better for children who struggle to learn math facts. For addition and subtraction, I highly recommend Evan-Moor's Building Math Fluency. For multiplication, I would recommend learning to skip count with Multiplication Unplugged. Daily practice is important for moving math facts into long term memory. I like the organization of the 9's down series. The best program for learning the more difficult multiplication facts is Times Tales.

These innovations are unlocked by embracing and engaging with an ecosystem of third-party providers and technology capabilities to complement in-house potential," says Matt Arcaro, research manager, Next-Generation Automotive Strategies at IDC.
"Service isn't just something that happens as an unintended result of selling a product, vehicle, or fleet. It is an opportunity to innovate and deliver increased value to the end customer, and vehicle manufacturers and supplier networks must build a strategy around service to offer new products and experiences," says Aly Pinder, research director, Service Innovation and Connected Products Strategies at IDC.


We all understand the necessity to nurture our bodies with the right foods and to cultivate a positive mind set, but making sure to support our soul is just as important.
By taking the time to nourish our soul, we are developing a deeper connection with our inner self. Becoming more self-aware helps us to feel empowered, strong, creative, and inspired. For me, writing is a form of nourishment. I love to lose myself in the creative aspect of storytelling and journaling. Reading is another way for me to 'fill my well' as Julia Cameron explains in her book, The Artist's Way.
How you nourish your soul is up to you.
Throughout the month we will explore some of the ways you can nurture your inner self by working with the mind, body, spirit loop, trying the wheel of life exercise, embracing your inner child, and exploring some of the self-help books available to us.
In the meantime, think about the daily activities you do and ask yourself if they bring you joy. Observe the language you use when talking about yourself. Take a look at the people closest to you, and notice how you feel when you're around them. Be honest with yourself. Notice how the television shows you watch influence your thoughts and behaviour.
Becoming self-aware is the first step we must take to find out who we are and what we want from life. Once we understand this, then we can begin to manifest everything that will nourish our soul in the future.

I love writing haiku and taking photos. I become so immersed in the moment/task that I forget about everything else. It's refreshing and necessary!
Thanks, Luccia. Taking photos is a great way to nourish the soul as you have a lasting reminder of a place/person.
I nourish my soul with good articles, soft music and writing down my thoughts.
That's a lovely way to nourish your soul, Lynn.

How has Matthew Bourne influenced the Ballet genre
by Expert Courtney (PHD) | 16 Feb 2017
Louis XIV organized the teaching and presentation of music and dance by setting up academies. The Académie Royal de Musique (1669) was officially given the exclusive right to present operas, which led to a new genre, the opera-ballet, initiated by the composer Jean-Baptiste Lully, which combined vocal scenes with danced interludes. Following the developments in Italian opera, composers made new demands on singers, who had to study for years in order to be able to meet them successfully. After the mid-17th century, singers exerted considerable influence on the structure of new works because they demanded showpiece arias at certain places in the text. The dramatic technique of Baroque opera followed set rules: arias were to be sung at the front of the stage, facing the audience; the chorus was directed as a static body; and the ornate setting was an elaborate decoration with which to please the eye rather than a functional definition of the acting area. One effect of the academies was to transfer dance activities from the court to the professional stage, and in 1681 the first professional dancers appeared in Le Triomphe de l'amour (The Triumph of Love), choreographed by Charles-Louis Beauchamp to Lully's music.
"How has Matthew Bourne influenced the Ballet genre" topic?
Theatre in Great Britain and Ireland
The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) was plunged into turmoil again when its artistic director, Adrian Noble, resigned on April 24, 2002. Noble's announcement came the week after his West End production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a new musical based on the 1968 movie, opened to good reviews and a healthy advance at the box office at the London Palladium. Cynics saw Chitty's flying car and future success bearing Noble conveniently away from a mess not necessarily all of his own making.
No one knew what would happen to Noble's plan for the proposed demolition of the main Stratford theatre, the so-called "Shakespeare village" by the River Avon, or indeed where future London seasons would be presented—now that the company had torn up its contract with the Barbican Theatre, where it had enjoyed special rates and terms of employment for staff. In addition, Noble's intention to operate as a player in the West End seemed fraught with danger, especially since most theatregoing taxpayers saw the government-funded RSC as an idealist alternative to the commercial imperatives of Shaftesbury Avenue, the heart of London's theatre district.
How the RSC would recover from this debacle was not clear. Debts mounted with an economically disastrous season of late romances—The Tempest, The Winter's Tale, and Pericles—at the Roundhouse in North London. In July, Michael Boyd, an RSC associate director, was named to succeed Noble when his contract expired in March 2003. Boyd promptly gave an unfortunate press interview in which he said that theatre was no longer all that important, that Shakespeare was "horny," and that he hoped to employ Hollywood actors, such as Nicole Kidman.
Productions of Much Ado About Nothing and Antony and Cleopatra moved from Stratford to the Haymarket in the West End. Harriet Walter and Nicholas Le Prevost were delightful as a middle-aged Beatrice and Benedick drenched in vituperation and Sicilian sunshine, and Sinead Cusack was a skittish and sensual Cleopatra opposite Stuart Wilson's grizzled Antony. Back in Stratford, the Swan had a critically approved season of Elizabethan and Jacobean rarities supervised brilliantly by Gregory Doran, another RSC associate director. The company was led by Sir Antony Sher, who tore a passion to tatters in both Philip Massinger's The Roman Actor and John Marston's The Malcontent.
Change was in the air all over the British theatre. Sam Mendes announced that he would leave his post as artistic director at the Donmar Warehouse after 10 years and presented a highly successful season of new American plays: Kenneth Lonergan's Lobby Hero, David Auburn's Proof (starring a luminous Gwyneth Paltrow), and the world premiere of Take Me Out, Richard Greenberg's stunning drama of sexual confusions and rivalries at the baseball diamond. Mendes himself bowed out after directing (and bagging best director in the Evening Standard Theatre Awards for) Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya and Shakespeare's Twelfth Night with a handpicked company led by Simon Russell Beale, Emily Watson, Helen McCrory, and Mark Strong.
Michael Grandage was named Mendes's successor and had as his first production a revival at year's end of Noël Coward's The Vortex,starring Francesca Annis and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Grandage would continue to be responsible for programming at the Sheffield Crucible in Yorkshire, where he enjoyed another outstanding year; he had enticed Kenneth Branagh back to the stage in an electrifying Richard III.
New directors were also named at the Almeida Theatre in London (Michael Attenborough), the Hampstead Theatre (Anthony Clark), theWest Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds (Ian Brown), and the Chichester Festival Theatre, where a panel of three—directors Steven Pimlottand Martin Duncan, with administrator Ruth Mackenzie—were charged with halting the theatre's financial slide. Whether they could winback the aging Chichester audience was another matter. Outgoing director Andrew Welch had done sterling work with new directors, and his summer season boasted a fine revival of the Broadway classic The Front Page, with Michael Pennington as the irascible editorWalter Burns.
Pimlott directed one of the West End's biggest hits, the new musical Bombay Dreams, a colourful satire of Bollywood movies with a vibrant score by A.R. Rahman ("the Asian Mozart"). Andrew Lloyd Webber was the producer, which was some consolation for him; the composer's Starlight Express closed after 17 years, and his trailblazing blockbuster Cats drew in its claws on its 21st anniversary, May 11.
The other big musical hit was We Will Rock You, a show scripted by Ben Elton around the songs of the rock group Queen. As with Mamma Mia!, which featured the music of Abba, the audience for the music found its way to the theatre, although unlike Mamma Mia!, the show was harshly received by the critics. The mania for making musicals out of pop music's back catalogs continued with Our House, which used the songs of the 1980s ska group Madness.
Boy George, a flamboyant pop star of 20 years earlier, re-created a vanished pop era in his likable new musical Taboo, which featured some excellent new songs that bolstered a couple of his more familiar hits. Taboo opened a new West End venue just off Leicester Square and featured an ever-changing roster of guest stars, rather like the long-running Art, which closed with popular television comedy trio League of Gentlemen occupying roles first taken by Albert Finney, Tom Courtenay, and Ken Stott.
The hit Broadway musical version of the British movie The Full Monty was warmly welcomed but struggled to attract full houses. Madonna had no such problem when she appeared in Up for Grabs, by Australian playwright David Williamson, though her performance as an unscrupulous art dealer was notable only for the attention she generated offstage. The play was dire, too, and added more fuel to the debate about Hollywood stars performing on the London stage and the question of "can they really act?" The answer this year was—they certainly can—except for Madonna.
Three young Hollywood stars—Hayden Christensen, Anna Paquin, and Jake Gyllenhaal—were outstanding in Kenneth Lonergan's This Is Our Youth, and Matt Damon, Summer Phoenix, and Casey Affleck served as their able and charismatic replacements (though Damon was too old for the role of a spoiled brat and minor drug runner). Woody Harrelson and Kyle MacLachlan were positively mesmerizing in Canadian playwright John Kolvenbach's On an Average Day, which was only an average play, with too many obvious echoes of Sam Shepard and David Mamet; two brothers meet up after a long period apart and unravel family problems.
Still, in comparison with these transatlantic imports, much of the West End seemed dull, even a revival of Oscar Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan, which starred Vanessa Redgrave paired with her own daughter, Joely Richardson, as an onstage mother and daughter. West End long-running hits of yesteryear, Anthony Shaffer's Sleuth (1970s) and Denise Deegan's Daisy Pulls It Off (1980s), were dusted down to contrasting, but not devastating, effect. Sleuth, with Peter Bowles adding to his gallery of smooth rogues, was given a chic, antiseptic setting and a patina of homoeroticism that would have surprised original audiences; Daisy, on the other hand, was just the same old jolly hockey sticks schoolgirl fun, with nothing much new to say to anyone.
Sir Alan Ayckbourn and Sir Tom Stoppard came through with ambitious trilogies—three new plays each in a year when most of the other brand-name dramatists were also represented. Ayckbourn's Damsels in Distress—which originated in his Scarborough, Yorkshire, home theatre—arrived in the West End with the original cast of seven actors in three unrelated plays in an identical London Docklands apartment. This event marked a return to Ayckbourn's top form, though none of the plays was as good as his Bedroom Farce, which was gorgeously revived with Richard Briers and June Whitfield giving a master class in understated comedy and timing. Stoppard's The Coast of Utopia trilogy followed the fortunes of a group of mid-19th-century Russian radicals and was sumptuously staged at the Royal National Theatre (RNT) by Sir Trevor Nunn. Most felt that the three three-hour long plays (Voyage, Shipwreck, and Salvage) could have been trimmed or compressed, but Nunn had assembled a crack acting ensemble led by Stephen Dillane as the heroic, pragmatic Aleksandr Herzen, Douglas Henshall as the tempestuous Mikhail Bakunin, and rising star Eve Best as a woman worth changing the world for. Karl Marx was a walk-on funny turn.
At the National, Nunn instigated a "Transformations" season in an attempt to attract younger audiences, but the artistic results were mixed. A series of mundane "pub theatre" plays were not all that impressive, but Matthew Bourne, choreographer of Nunn's still-running My Fair Lady revival, came up with a gem, Play Without Words, in the reconfigured Lyttelton Theatre. The work was a virtually wordless dance drama based on British movies of the 1960s such as The Servant and Darling. Each character was played-danced in triplicate to the intricate, seductive jazz score—played live—by Terry Davies. It was the most unusual and original piece of the year.
A strong contender for the best play of the year also emerged at the National. Vincent in Brixton by Nicholas Wright used some recently established information about Vincent van Gogh's residency in South London to create a compelling drama about awakening love andcreative impulses. Jochum Ten Haaf was the wonderful young Dutch actor playing van Gogh, and Clare Higgins gave one of the performances of the year as his widowed landlady, a woman whose recharged sexuality corresponded with van Gogh's realization of his destiny. The play was directed with dedicated intensity by Sir Richard Eyre.
Other notable events at the RNT were Bryony Lavery's Frozen, in which Anita Dobson gave a performance to rival Higgins's as the mother of a murdered 10-year-old girl; Glenn Close as Blanche Du Bois in Nunn's production of A Streetcar Named Desire; and Sir Ian Holm and Ralph Fiennes appearing, respectively, in new plays by Shelagh Stephenson (Mappa Mundi) and Christopher Hampton (The Talking Cure).
In Sir David Hare's A Breath of Life, old friends Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Judi Dench appeared together onstage for the first time since they shared a dressing room in 1960 at the Old Vic. At the Young Vic, David Lan directed two superb productions: Jude Law in Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus and Ann-Marie Duff, Marjorie Yates, and Paul Hilton in D.H. Lawrence's 1912 masterpiece The Daughter-in-Law. The best new plays at the Royal Court were The York Realist by Peter Gill and A Number by Caryl Churchill, with Michael Gambon and Daniel Craig playing out a dense duet about cloning.
In Dublin, Brian Friel created an afterlife in Afterplay for two Chekhov characters— Sonya from Uncle Vanya and Andrey from Three Sisters. The two meet in a Moscow cafe in the 1920s, and their catch-up, cross play, and burgeoning companionship—there is never any real companionship in Chekhov—was a joy to behold in the perfect performances of Penelope Wilton and John Hurt at the Gate Theatre. Also at the Gate was Frank McGuinness's Gates of Gold, a speculative and beautiful coda for the real-life founders of the Gate, Michael McLiammoir and Hilton Edwards. Again, this was an occasion for a brace of unforgettable performances, this time by Alan Howard and Richard Johnson.
The 45th Dublin Theatre Festival offered a notable program of new plays, including Ronald Harwood's adaptation of a French farce, Le Dîner de cons (also a successful film), and Marina Carr's Ariel. The latter was an exploration of power and corruption in contemporary Irish society and a poetic companion piece to Sebastian Barry's Hinterland, one of the most underrated plays of the year, in which Patrick Malahide gave a momentous performance as a character not totally dissimilar to Charles Haughey, the disgraced Irish politician.
If there was a lack of great theatre in France before Corneille, it was well compensated for by extravagant court ceremonials in which dance featured prominently. These reached a high level of sophistication in the later 16th century, stimulated by the presence of Italian dancing masters invited to the French court by Catherine de Médicis. A product of this collaboration was the ballet comique, a courtly dance entertainment with words. Another Italian import was changeable-perspective scenery, which was brought to Paris in 1645 by the designer Giacomo Torelli, who completely refurbished the Petit-Bourbon. The staging of court ballets was accordingly adapted to show off the possibilities of the new machinery. Louis XIV often took part in these and earned the title Le Roi Soleil (The Sun King) when he performed as the Sun in Le Ballet de la nuit in 1653. Molière was called upon to provide texts for elaborate court festivities at Versailles involving ballets, plays, fireworks displays, and theatrical banquets.
