Registration open: Early registration, Thursday August 1, 4-8 PM Friday and Saturday August 2-3, 8 AM to 5 PM Sunday, August 4, 8 AM to 4 PM Come and join us for a great weekend exploring the Chuckanut Mountains. Cedar Lake Trail and Raptor Ridge Viewpoint The Cedar Lake Trail begins with a thigh-burning climb of 1,300 feet in 1.6 miles; but, the stout- hearted hiker is soon rewarded with a lovely view of Mt. Baker and Lookout Mountain, then an enjoy- able jaunt around beautiful Cedar Lake, after which 10 km hikers continue to another viewpoint, passing many interesting sandstone formations and pockets of old-growth trees. Fragrance Lake and Rock Trail Loop The hike begins with picturesque views of the Salish Sea, far below you; then the Rock Trail, one of the newer trails in Washington State, descends several groupings of timbered steps to reach mas- sive sandstone walls with curious holes embedded in the rock faces. A long, moderate-grade sweep then takes you to the intersecting trails of pretty Fragrance Lake and another viewpoint of the Salish Sea. Oyster Dome Loop Starting at the scenic Samish Overlook, and after completing many switchbacks, the hardy hiker reaches Oyster Dome, a cliff-faced ledge, with more superb views of the Salish Sea and the sur- rounding forest. The trail then continues in a long, easy-grade loop, back to the trailhead.

    A Lady Floats!

    November 2018 Meeting: A Lady Floats! Posted on November 28, 2018 by Dennis Phillips Ring Report Ring #170 “The Bev Bergeron Ring” SAM Assembly #99 November 2018 Meeting Mike Matson gaveled the meeting to order. Several visitors were present: Mark Gagnon from Vermont, Joshua Stenkamp and Mark O’Brien and ,son, Alexander. Mark lived in Orlando and performed on cruise ships, Busch Garden, Circus World and Nickelodeon TV before moving to the New York area. We had an interesting discussion about the magic illusions in the stage show at the old Circus World attraction here in Central Florida. Bev Bergeron had a story about Owens and Les Smith providing the illusions, Dan had stories about working there as the illusionist and Mark O’Brien also performed there. The biggest mystery is that no one is sure what ever happened to several truckloads of illusions when the show closed. Bev Bergeron added more to his last “Teach In”. It was how to use notecards with slate moves to achieve some incredible effects. He showed how to make writing appear on what seemed like empty cards and a three card monte. Dan Stapleton did the magic history of Sneaky Pete Remco magic sets. He showed the first, second and third sets and some history of each. Mike Matson’s “Theory and Thaumaturgy” topic was “Repeatability” and how many effects do repeat themselves but each action should build up the tension. He used Cups and Balls, Linking Rings and Card’s Across as examples. Sebastian Mitdtvaage had a mini-lecture on his card magic.
  • The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema

    The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema

    The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema John Saddington Submitted for the degree of PhD University of York Department of Sociology September 2010 Abstract This study examines representations of suicide in film. Based upon original research cataloguing 350 films it considers the ways in which suicide is portrayed and considers this in relation to gender conventions and cinematic traditions. The thesis is split into two sections, one which considers wider themes relating to suicide and film and a second which considers a number of exemplary films. Part I discusses the wider literature associated with scholarly approaches to the study of both suicide and gender. This is followed by quantitative analysis of the representation of suicide in films, allowing important trends to be identified, especially in relation to gender, changes over time and the method of suicide. In Part II, themes identified within the literature review and the data are explored further in relation to detailed exemplary film analyses. Six films have been chosen: Le Feu Fol/et (1963), Leaving Las Vegas (1995), The Killers (1946 and 1964), The Hustler (1961) and The Virgin Suicides (1999). These films are considered in three chapters which exemplify different ways that suicide is constructed. Chapters 4 and 5 explore the two categories that I have developed to differentiate the reasons why film characters commit suicide. These are Melancholic Suicide, which focuses on a fundamentally "internal" and often iII­ understood motivation, for example depression or long term illness; and Occasioned Suicide, where there is an "external" motivation for which the narrative provides apparently intelligible explanations, for instance where a character is seen to be in danger or to be suffering from feelings of guilt.

  • US Apple LP Releases

    US Apple LP Releases

    Apple by the Numbers U.S. album releases From the collection of Andre Gardner of NY, NY SWBO‐101 The Beatles The Beatles Released: 22 Nov. 1968 (nicknamed "The White Album") In stark contrast to the cover to Sgt. Pepper's LHCB, the cover to this two record set was plain white, with writing only on the spine and in the upper right hand corner of the back cover (indicating that the album was in stereo). This was the first Beatles US album release which was not available in mono. The mono mix, available in the UK, Australia, and several other countries, sounds quite different from the stereo mix. The album title was embossed on the front cover. Inserts included a poster and four glossy pictures (one of each Beatle). The pictures were smaller in size than those issued with the UK album. A tissue paper separator was placed between the pictures and the record. Finally, as in every EMI country, the albums were numbered. In the USA, approximately 3,200,000 copies of the album were numbered. These albums were numbered at the different Capitol factories, and there are differences in the precise nature of the stamping used on the covers. Allegedly, twelve copies with east‐coast covers were made that number "A 0000001".

Liener is the founder of the AFI Dallas International Film Festival. Last week, AFI Dallas had a party at the Current Energy store on Knox Street. In 10 days, Liener will be 80 years old. But after a short lesson from Current Energy co-founder Joseph Harberg, Liener was up and riding one of the store's Segways and proclaiming that he wanted to buy a couple. Among those on hand for the gathering were Dallas Film Commission director Janis Burklund; director Russ Pond, who will show his film Fissure at AFI Dallas; AFI Dallas board members Stephanie and Hunter Hunt; and literary agent David Hale Smith. Preparing for Mamet When playwright and filmmaker David Mamet gives the keynote address at the Dallas Institute's Hiett Prize dinner on April 8, he will face a uniquely prepared audience. As a prelude to the event, the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture is presenting a two- session series, "Dark and Light: The Genius of David Mamet" on March 18 and April 1. University of Dallas drama chairman Patrick Kelly and book and stage critic Jerome Weeks will lead the discussions.
