on what government can and cannot do This is in stark contrast to the more prevalent thinking today that these documents are here to govern the people

People in America live in one of 50 states and via state constitutions we delegate to the 50 state governments limited authority to act on we the peoplersquos behalf not the other way around In turn the 50 states grant limited authority to the federal government to act on the 50 statesrsquo behalf It is a bottom-up upside-down-pyramid form of governance starting with individuals (regardless of the state heshe lives in) as the fundamental authority funneling upward to the counties then to the states and finally to the federal government which is given the least amount of authority in the end Clearly under this scenario we the people through sheer laziness and a destructive lack of civic participation have allowed our republic to become utterly perverted

Adding to this devastating apathy is the deliberate dumbing-down of our children concerning academic subjects such as American history and political science The difference between a democracy and a republic has been quietly and carefully culled from many schoolsrsquo curricula Furthermore constitutional law (aka

Knowledge Is Powercontract law) is an elective in most law schools not a requirement Much more instruction is devoted to administrative and statutory law because in this realm lies the contrived authority by which we are all being systematically enslaved

Listen and count how many times you hear the mainstream pundits politicians and academics refer to American governance as a democracy and not a republic Itrsquos exhaustive The distinction is being eliminated from our national identity for a reason As long as we hold individual rights as sacrosanct as our republic under the rule of common law does most specifically no global agenda can prevail in America Each of us must accept that disarming Americans is one of the crucial elements for globalization to succeed Once we acknowledge the real end game then we can see this strategic manipulation of the Second Amendment for what it really is ndash consensus-building

Getting the publicrsquos buy-in for altering the Second Amendment via legislation and rule-making by executive orders instead of a proper constitutional amendment expedites political goals versus any real solutions to

It is glaringly obvious that the tragedy surrounding the Aurora Colorado and Newtown Connecticut shootings is being

grossly objectified to achieve a political agenda of disarming Americans

I am no lover of weapons In fact I abhor any violence including the disgraceful warfare the United States is currently engaged in I despise the weakness that characterizes our lack of civic will in the 21st Century to hold our governments accountable for perpetuating both warfare and welfare upon the people

We are truly a pack of sheep when it comes to preserving our legacy as a republic governed by the rule of law Letrsquos be crystal clear folks America was not founded as a democracy America was founded as a republic There is a huge difference that needs clarification ndash again

Democracy is rule by the majority or better stated mob rule What the majority decides goes In a republic governed by the rule of law every individualrsquos rights are specifically protected on a case-by-case basis In other words the minority is not subjected to the whims of the majority Laws decide not men It is a failsafe against the tyranny that characterized the British monarchy and just about every despotic form of government including fascism socialism

and communism ndash all of which enjoy a few Haves that control the property and labor of the remaining Have-Nots

This profound distinction is what has compelled people to immigrate to America after we won the Revolutionary War and secured our liberty from the British crown Throughout American history (all 200-plus years of it) our governance has been called ldquothe grand experimentrdquo because nothing like it had ever before been achieved

I believe the Bill of Rights retains a divine component in that it mirrors the reverence for Godrsquos creation ndash mankind ndash by declaring each and every individual equal under the law This nod to Natural Law is what sets Americarsquos republic apart from all others The Declaration of Independence the Articles of Confederation the Constitution and the Bill of Rights clearly establish that every individual has ldquounalienablerdquo rights endowed by the Creator This means that certain rights are ours simply because we are Godrsquos creation regardless of whether a government does or does not exist

The Bill of Rights establishes with specificity what rights no government may infringe or violate In other words the provisions of the founding documents are specific instructions Continued On Page 12

the office wasnrsquot worth much And it doesnrsquot take a political scientist to

see that Quinn could very well be doomed next time around He barely won in 2010 mainly because he convinced voters that his heart was in the right place But after four years on the job the public still intensely

dislikes him The Simon Institutersquos recent poll pegged his job-approval rating at just 328 percent Other polls have shown even worse numbers

Anyway back to last weekrsquos big announcement by Simon Usually with these sorts of announcements some sort of groundwork is

done beforehand A newspaper is given a tip for instance Top insiders are told what to expect That didnrsquot happen this time though Irsquod told my subscribers several days before that Simon was planning to run for another office and that Quinn was rumored to be looking for an African-American running mate but that didnrsquot come directly from inside Some top Quinn staffers were completely caught off-guard by last weekrsquos announcement which just fueled the fires

So the mainstream media wasnrsquot kind and the pollrsquos timing didnrsquot help matters much The fact that Quinn didnrsquot appear with Simon at her announcement further underscored the curiosity of the whole thing

Word from inside is that Simon told Quinn back in December that she had set her sights on comptroller But she reportedly assumed that Republican incumbent Judy Baar Topinka would be retiring Not happening

So treasurer ndash which will be an open seat contest if incumbent Republican Dan Rutherford pulls the trigger on a gubernatorial bid ndash is now on the radar screen as well as attorney general if incumbent Democrat Lisa Madigan tries to move up to governor

For Quinn though last week was a low point Three straight polls have now shown him doing poorly against Attorney General Madigan His 2010 running mate abruptly announces that shersquos abandoning him without even knowing where shersquoll land And hersquos left to face reporters alone on what should have been a major news day for him

This was to say the least not an auspicious beginning for Quinnrsquos reelection effort

ILLINOIS POLITICS

ldquoOff topic I canrsquot imagine what that would berdquo cracked Governor Pat Quinn last

week during a press conference Just hours before his lieutenant governor had an-nounced that she would not be his 2014 running mate

Quinn usually does a pretty good job during his press conferences of convincing reporters to wait to ask off-topic questions until all questions about the subject at hand have been asked Last week was no exception

Quinn was holding a presser with US Department of Health amp Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to discuss her conditional approval allowing Illinois to move forward with an online health-insurance exchange ndash a major step toward implementing the presidentrsquos national health-care plan

ldquoYou could get caught by stray bulletsrdquo Quinn jokingly warned the folks who had gathered with him to make the announcement ldquoYou donrsquot have to be part of the firing squadrdquo he added with a laugh

He knew what was coming Earlier in the morning the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute had released a poll showing that Quinn was badly trailing Lisa Madigan in a hypothetical primary matchup By mid-morning the late Senator Simonrsquos daughter Sheila had announced that she wouldnrsquot be running with Quinn again Simonrsquos aides said she didnrsquot know about the poll from her fatherrsquos think tank but the irony wasnrsquot lost on those of us who watch these things

Sheila Simon was chosen by Quinn after Democratic primary voters made the mistake of nominating a pawn broker with a rather ldquocolorfulrdquo past by the name of Scott Lee Cohen After details of Cohenrsquos alleged assault of a massage-therapist girlfriend emerged Cohen dropped out of the race

Quinn didnrsquot pick Simon for her political acumen She lost a Carbondale mayorrsquos race that pretty much everybody thought was in the bag Instead she was chosen mainly for her name The governor still idolizes Senator Simon and that name is still held in high esteem among older Democrats

Sheila Simon however seemed to chafe at times under Quinnrsquos leadership Quinn demanded too much control of her budget She had to fight for every dime every hire every square inch of office space As with most of her predecessors Simon found that

reiterations of the ldquoSomewhererdquo thematic fragment the orchestra brought Bernsteinrsquos masterful score to a sensitive close After a breath-holding pause the clearly moved audience gave Smith and the orchestra an appreciative standing ovation in the middle of the first half

Ending the orchestrarsquos portion of the concert was a carefully shaped and properly nuanced ldquoWaltzrdquo from Tchaikovskyrsquos Swan Lake Smith and the orchestra clearly demarcated the two main thematic structural components and the rhythmic

variations in their performance The intricate interplay between the strings and woodwinds was buoyant and playful The accents in the trumpet solo although unmarked were performed with tonal clarity in the correct traditional manner with stresses on alternating primary and syncopated beats The general accelerando in the last section of the piece typically inserted when performed without dancers was well-measured in tempo and ensemble dynamics and opened the musical door for the powerful restatements of thematic sequences in the trombones and tuba that brought the dance to an exciting and decisive end

A famous Pops conductor once said ldquoA symphony orchestra is the largest most complex acoustically designed instrument yet invented But add one microphone and it all goes to hellrdquo And that was in part the problem for Five by Design Singing the songs of the Second World War swing era vocal clarity part balance and intonation proved to be elusive most of the evening It might have been different in the rest of the hall but from where I sat in the balcony poor sound quality made the close harmony difficult to hear clearly

Uneven volume between the singers obscured the melody within the tight vocal sound Less-interesting harmonic parts of Lerner amp Loewersquos ldquoAlmost Like Being in Loverdquo for example were louder than the elegant melodic sequences of

A Musical Mismatchby Frederick Morden

fmordenmchsicom

We do silly things for love This must be one of them

In what Music Director and Conductor Mark Russell Smith termed a ldquofun experimentrdquo at his February 7 ldquoInside the Musicrdquo lecture the Quad City Symphony for its ldquoValentinersquos Dayrdquo Masterworks concerts replaced classical-music repertoire for half of the program with tunes from the 1940s sung by a five-member swing group Last year we got Scheherazade this year we got the ldquoBoogie Woogie Bugle Boyrdquo

The orchestra was the opening act performing Berliozrsquos arrangement of Carl Maria von Weberrsquos Invitation to the Dance Leonard Bernsteinrsquos Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and Tchaikovskyrsquos ldquoWaltzrdquo from Swan Lake During the second half the orchestra served as backup band for vocal group Five by Design which performed a variety of old-time pop selections including among others ldquoNight amp Dayrdquo ldquoBegin the Beguinerdquo ldquoThe Trolley Songrdquo ldquoMairzy Doatsrdquo and ldquoSing Sing Singrdquo

I enjoy all kinds of music and symphony orchestras have long attempted to attract new audiences by blending popular and classical music in their Pops concerts Simply put the swing music on the February program belonged in a Pops concert and it diminished the Quad City Symphonyrsquos Masterworks series ndash whose traditional forms and repertoire are my balms against the temporal superficiality of what Mahler called ldquoa garish worldrdquo

The musical mismatch in conception was exacerbated in the February 9 Adler Theatre concert by the artistic disparity between the orchestra and vocal group both in technical execution and ability to evoke an emotional response Even judged only in its genre Five by Design could not match the performance standard of the orchestra

The musical highlight of the evening was the orchestrarsquos dramatic and compelling performance of Bernsteinrsquos Symphonic Dances Itrsquos easily among the most demanding Broadway pit scores

The Quad City Symphony Orchestra February 9 at the Adler Theatre

ever written and the composerrsquos revised arrangement of dance excerpts for symphony orchestra strengthened both the complexity of the musical ideas and the raw impact of the drama

Smith and the orchestra threw themselves into the effort with intensity and musical insight The conductorrsquos contrasting dance tempos critical for differentiating the rhythmic styles of each section were spot-on and his interpretive intuition with the piecersquos popular-music styles made the performance captivating and musically exciting

Giving the Bernstein tempos the right texture and character was an expanded six-player percussion section that drove the complicated pulsating Latin rhythms with flair and technical mastery without burying the orchestra The ldquoCha-Chardquo had a fanciful feel and the attention players gave by accenting important notes added charm and affability to the dance In the ldquoRumblerdquo where the musical tension is found in tightly wound imitations of a single tune the orchestra was perfectly together making for a hair-raising musical fight of its own With its wailing trumpets and smearing trombones and the players emphatically shouting ldquoMambordquo the orchestra in a flat-out jazz chorus rocked the Adler

And then suddenly in an extreme change of character they produced the haunting ldquoFinalerdquo With translucent delicately balanced high string chords beautifully effective dissonant notes in the woodwinds and the fading

Analyzing the Trickiest Categories (and Theyrsquore Big Ones) in the 2013 Academy Awards RaceOscar-a-a-aziness

Donrsquot tell anyone But usually when it comes to predicting the winners of the Academy Awardsrsquo major races

it doesnrsquot take much to look like you know what yoursquore talking about

There are after all a number of pre-Oscar citations doled out in the weeks leading to the annual ceremony and several of them are even televised so you not only get to see who and what wins but get to see how well or not well the choices sit with probable Oscar voters (I remember the writing being on the wall for Avatarrsquos eventual Best Picture loss when it received the top prize at the Golden Globe Awards and the faces of those in the room ndash except for the people at James Cameronrsquos table ndash suggested that everyone had swallowed sour milk)

Oscar precedent is also generally reliable More often than not the film with the most or second-most nominations in total has the best chance to win Best Picture the winner of the Directors Guild of America (DGA) prize will go on to win the Best Director Oscar an admired but thus-far Oscar-less performer has a better chance at victory than someone who previously won an Academy Award et cetera

But considering that so many precursor awards in this yearrsquos race have gone to an individual not in contention for a particular Oscar and several historical precedents simply donrsquot apply trust me Those who claim to know what theyrsquore talking about are totally faking it

Sure there are some done deals as only a fool would bet against Lincolnrsquos Daniel Day-Lewis for Best Actor or Les Miseacuterablesrsquo Anne Hathaway for Best Supporting Actress But in all the years Irsquove been attempting this ndash and because Irsquove been a film geek since childhood wersquore talking more than 30 years now ndash Irsquove never felt so insecure about my guesses in an Oscar racersquos most high-profile categories and from what I glean among other Oscar bloggers and journalists Irsquom hardly alone in this For Petersquos sake I feel more confident about my pick for Best Live-Action Short Subject than I do for Best Director and I donrsquot feel confident about my Live-Action Short Subject pick at all (Then again does anyone ever feel confident about that one)

With so many factors making the 2013 Academy Awards race so unpredictable ndash and consequently so exciting ndash letrsquos take a closer look at four categories that are traditionally among the easier ones to accurately forecast but that this year are now causing me to lose sleep Which is actually an overstatement as Irsquom sleeping

fine but only because my attempts to make logical sense of this yearrsquos competition are exhausting me

Best Picture and DirectorTheoretically predicting 2013rsquos Best

Picture winner should be easy as Ben Affleckrsquos rescue thriller Argo has already won pretty much every pre-Oscar signifier that one points to when attempting to guess that category Scratch that Itrsquos won every single one

Best Picture at the Critics Choice Awards (CCA) and Golden Globes Best Picture from the Producers Guild of America (PGA) the organization whose top prize first hinted that The Kingrsquos Speech might triumph over presumed favorite The Social Network as it eventually did Best Director from the DGA which has a strong track record for picking winners over the grouprsquos 64-year history the DGA victorrsquos film was awarded the Best Picture Oscar 51 times Best Ensemble from the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) acknowledgment that might not be a Best Picture equivalent but certainly didnrsquot hurt when forecasting wins ndash over the past 10 years alone ndash for The Kingrsquos Speech Slumdog Millionaire No Country for Old Men Crash The Lord of the Rings The Return of the King and Chicago And on February 10 Best Picture from the British Academy of Film amp Television Arts

(BAFTA) its recent previous victors being 2011rsquos The Artist 2010rsquos The Kingrsquos Speech 2009rsquos The Hurt Locker 2008rsquos Slumdog Millionaire Are you sensing a trend here

Add to all of this Argorsquos numerous prizes from national criticsrsquo groups its sensational domestic grosses ($124 million as of the February 8 weekend when the film re-entered the box-office top-10 rankings 18 weeks after it debuted) the considerable goodwill generated by co-producers Affleck and George Clooney and the fact that itrsquos a movie in which Hollywood professionals help save the day and guessing Argo for the Best Picture Academy Award would seem a classic no-brainer prediction Therersquos just o-o-one little hitch Affleck as most everyone knows was denied a Best Director nomination and over the Oscarsrsquo 84-year history only three movies ndash 1989rsquos Driving Miss Daisy 1932rsquos Grand Hotel and 1927rsquos Wings (the very first Best Picture winner) ndash have been handed the top prize despite a dissed director

Consider too this very plausible scenario

With no Affleck in the Best Director race Lincolnrsquos Steven Spielberg now has a completely legitimate chance to snag his third triumph in that category Lincoln star Daniel Day-Lewis we all have to admit

is a sure-fire victor-to-be ndash even though hersquod be the first performer in history to boast three Best Actor wins ndash and Tommy Lee Jones who won the SAG award for his Thaddeus Stevens

portrayal is a solid bet for Supporting Actor If Tony Kushnerrsquos deservedly lauded script gets the majority of votes for Adapted Screenplay and all of those aforementioned potentials get checked off on Academy membersrsquo ballots doesnrsquot a Best Picture victory for Lincoln suddenly seem not just conceivable but nearly inevitable (The movie after all did lead the field with 12 Oscar nominations compared to Argos seven)

Or how about this Life of Pi doesnrsquot have any acting nominees and David Mageersquos divisive script probably wonrsquot net him a Best

COVER STORY

2013 Oscar Predictions

As I only predicted 15 out of 24 catego-ries correctly for the previous Acad-emy Awards obviously I have some

making up to do for my prognostic abilities to again be taken seriously

Of all freakinrsquo times to attempt a comeback

Seriously this is one of those wacky anomalous years in which nearly anything could happen at the annual Oscar ceremony (This yearrsquos is scheduled to air locally on ABCrsquos WQAD-TV affiliate on Sunday February 24 beginning at 7 pm) Argo could win the big prize despite its lack of a Best Director nod or it could be shut out entirely (Irsquom guessing the former) Lincoln could sweep or it could be relegated to one lone win from 12 nominations (Sadly Irsquom guessing the latter) Silver Linings Playbook could score in numerous categories because ndash like 2011rsquos

The Artist and 2010rsquosThe Kingrsquos Speech ndash it has producer and legendary Oscar hunter Harvey Weinstein on its side or it

Hmm Maybe I shouldrsquove given the Weinstein thing more consideration before making these predictions

Alas the predictions have been made and in boldface no less so I guess therersquos no turning back now I urge you to employ caution if yoursquore planning to use them for your officersquos annual Oscar pool And you may as well flip a coin on Best Supporting Actor Preferably a five-sided coin

BEST PICTURE Amour Argo Beasts of the Southern Wild Django Unchained Les Miseacuterables Life of Pi

Lincoln Silver Linings Playbook Zero Dark Thirty

At present Ben Affleck is so beloved in the industry that he probably couldrsquove directed that tacky sci-fi script-within-the-script version of Argo and it still wouldrsquove won Best Picture

BEST DIRECTOR Michael Haneke Amour Ang Lee Life of Pi David O Russell Silver Linings Playbook Steven Spielberg Lincoln Benh Zeitlin Beasts of the Southern Wild

Though if through some miracle this awardrsquos presenter exclaims ldquoAnd the Oscar goes to Ben Affleckrdquo I wonrsquot be the least bit surprised

Argo Fecircte Yourself


Ben Affleck directs Alan Arkin in Argo




Adapted Screenplay Oscar But that leaves 10 other categories that the movie is strongly competitive in ndash even against Adelersquos Best Original Song hopeful ldquoSkyfallrdquo ndash and if voters go for Pi in say even three to five tech categories and Best Director is Best Picture really such a longshot And what if Jennifer Lawrence Robert De Niro writerdirector David O Russell and even editor Jay Cassidy all win as they conceivably could Would anyone be surprised at a subsequent Best Picture victory for Silver Linings Playbook (Those rooting for remaining contenders Amour Beasts of the Southern Wild Django Unchained Les Miseacuterables and Zero Dark Thirty should just relax and enjoy the party)

With more hesitation than I perhaps should be feeling Irsquom sticking with Argo for the big prize but that hesitation remains And with practically nothing to go on regarding who might secure Best Director ndash Affleckrsquos direction having won the CCA Globe DGA and BAFTA trophies ndash Irsquom bypassing Spielberg in favor of Life of Pirsquos Ang Lee The way I see it one of them is going to emerge victorious if only because history tells us that one of them has to No helmer who has missed out on a DGA nomination has ever gone on to win the Best Director Oscar and this year Silver Liningsrsquo Russell Amourrsquos Michael Haneke and Beasts of the Southern Wildrsquos Benh Zeitlin were all ignored by the Directors Guild

That leaves us with Spielberg and Lee as our options and Irsquom going with the latter because of (a) Life of Pi being a clear directorrsquos showcase (An untrained lead CGI animals 3D but good 3D) over the actorsrsquo and writerrsquos showcase that is Lincoln (b) residual guilt over Lee losing the Best Director Oscar for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon despite his DGA win for that film (c) residual guilt over Leersquos Brokeback Mountain losing Best Picture to Crash despite its victory being all but preordained and (d) the feeling that as the most successful filmmaker in the universe Spielberg has already been rewarded quite amply for the time being Oh yeah and Life of Pi like Lincoln is awfully damned

good Sometimes that helps

Best Actress and Supporting Actor

Occasionally when your choice is between apples and oranges you pick bananas

Among this yearrsquos Best Actress lineup one could easily argue for a victory by either Zero Dark Thirtyrsquos Jessica Chastain or Silver Linings Playbookrsquos Jennifer Lawrence as Chastain won the CCA Lawrence won at

SAG and Golden Globes ndash awarded in the categories of both ldquoDramardquo and ldquoComedy or Musicalrdquo ndash were given to both of them (They also made a close split of national criticsrsquo award citations 15 for Chastain 13 for Lawrence)

Consequently this would seem an incredibly tight race between the two performers and it is one But Irsquom thinking that in this category voters might be inclined go a little bananas and instead back an option who wasnrsquot even nominated for a Globe or SAG Award Amourrsquos Emmanuelle Riva (The Impossiblersquos Naomi Watts and Beasts of the Southern Wildrsquos nine-year-old Quvenzhaneacute Wallis fall under the ldquoItrsquos a thrill just to be nominatedrdquo blanket and given the down-to-the-wire tension of this yearrsquos Best Actress race might be feeling just fine about that)

Forget if you will that Riva is a certified acting legend (albeit a French acting legend) whom older Academy members and film-savvy younger ones will fondly remember from the 1959 classic Hiroshima Mon Amour Forget that

Rivarsquos portrayal of a once-vibrant senior debilitated by a pair of strokes is one of the yearrsquos most acclaimed winning the star Best Actress laurels from the National Society of Film Critics Los Angeles Film Critics Association and London Critics Circle Forget that the Cannes Film Festival Palm drsquoOr-winning Amour ndash despite Oscar odds generally stacked against foreign-language titles and the moviersquos minimal specialty-film

DANCE

she seemed to defy gravity en pointe delicately skipping her way across the stage with her legs extended to the front rather than the usual skipping technique of weight supported from directly beneath onersquos body (I was also struck by Hulingrsquos wardrobe a predominantly black tutu with rings of deep red material adorning the top which gave the impression that Huling was wearing a rose around her waist)

For the Act I finale eight members of BQCrsquos company were featured in the jaunty ldquoBlack Coffeerdquo choreographed by Margaret Huling to a collage of songs Each dancer was dressed in a combination of two colors ndash chosen from blue yellow pink orange and brown ndash with the women in sleeveless shirts and pedal-pushers and the men in T-shirts and slacks which added to the rsquo60s vibe of the dance movements My personal favorite bit was like a song sung as a round but with dancing instead of singing as a paired duo entered the stage and began a dance sequence with another duo performing the same sequence a few measures later and another after that and another after that Walker Martin in particular stood out for his full commitment to his movements with his impressive fluid extension and precision marked by true musicality and artistry

Following intermission Act II started with ldquoToucheacute Par La Lune (Moonlight Sonata)rdquo choreographed by Carter to Beethovenrsquos ldquoPiano Sonata No 14 in C Minorrdquo a piece that I would describe as possessing a sensuality absent of lust ndash one more pure or virginal in nature Adorned in light-blue clothing with the women wearing skirts that seemed to float on air with the slightest movement the number brought to mind a scene

While bear-ing the same title

as 2012rsquos Valentinersquos Day-themed perfor-mance Ballet Quad Citiesrsquo 2013 Love Sto-ries Love on the Run ndash held on February 16 ndash offered several new short pieces along with ldquoNewsflashrdquo one of my favorites from last yearrsquos presentation And Saturday nightrsquos entertainment delivered a mixture of sensuality flirtatiousness and exquisite beauty culminating in a romantic experi-ence that left me doe-eyed with emotions linked to love

The eveningrsquos first offering was ldquoDonrsquot Play with Merdquo a playful flirtatious piece choreographed by frequent BQC choreographer Deanna Carter set to Bachrsquos ldquoViolin Concerto in A Minor BWV 1041rdquo It started with dancer Jill Schwartz walking out center stage and then standing for a few moments as if she were waiting for someone before she exited and the lights dimmed This sequence was then repeated with dancer Calvin Rowe and when the two finally joined together on a third go-around the number was notable for the casual lighthearted nature of the dancersrsquo movements despite their adherence to precise choreography especially when Schwartz and Rowe danced their way through childrenrsquos games ndash chasing each other pretending to be a bull and matador and even playing rounds of ldquoRock Paper Scissorsrdquo As could be expected the dance ended in a beautifully loving pose but Carter also added a bit of a surprise at the very end with the two playing one last round of ldquoRock Paper Scissorsrdquo that climaxed the pleasingly teasing spirit of the piece

BQCrsquos Margaret Huling and Jacob Lyon followed in the more balletically traditional ldquoDon Quixote Pas de Deuxrdquo staged by Rebekah von Rathonyi to music by Leon Minkus The strength of this piece lay in the strict concentration Huling and Lyon brought to their performed steps while also maintaining smooth movements and for Lyonrsquos part seemingly effortless lifts Huling also performed one of the eveningrsquos most stunningly graceful moments when

and basic sense that it seems to have been made up on the spot and not at all well Near the start therersquos a flash of hope that this Moscow-based adventure might actually be fun when Bruce Willisrsquo gruff Manhattan cop enjoys some good-humored repartee with a Russian cabbie who croons a heavily accented ldquoNew York New Yorkrdquo But sadly fun is in short supply in this visually ugly incoherently staged totally unnecessary follow-up that finds the bored-looking Willis acting the prototypical Ugly American in extremis ndash he punches a Russian in the face for daring to speak to him in Russian ndash and director John Moore and screenwriter Skip Woods trotting out one hoary rsquo80s-action-flick clicheacute after another (We even get a reprise of that ldquoclassicrdquo bit that finds our hero handcuffed to a chair but able to escape his shackles after getting his gun-wielding nemesis to cackle at some dumb joke) A Good Day to Die Hard is slack and unconvincing and despite its incessant noise duller than hell and watching the film even its star seems to know it If yoursquore Bruce Willis how can you deliver your once-priceless ldquoYippee-ki-yay motherf---errdquo catchphrase in a Die Hard sequel and still manage to sound dead asleep

BEAUTIFUL CREATURESAs it concerns a sensitive high-schooler

who enters a world of trouble after falling for a moodier version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch it should come as no shock to learn that the supernatural romance Beautiful Creatures is based on the first in a series of popular young-adult novels But while Irsquod never argue that the YA-lit genre is completely humorless surely the gender-reversed Twilight knock-off by co-authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl canrsquot be as legitimately intentionally hilarious as this big-screen adaptation right

Granted the film does sometimes make you want to giggle at the material primarily for its mythology-creation pretensions and unbridled rather shameless steals from the Stephenie Meyer oeuvre (Therersquos even an awkward Meet the Cullens scene in which our heroic teen first dines with his girlfriendrsquos family of witches called Casters here and played by a roundly wasted assemblage that includes Margo Martindale Kyle Gallner and the marvelous Eileen Atkins) Yet beginning with the openerrsquos sly sardonic narration by high-school junior Ethan Wate (the sensationally appealing Alden Ehrenreich) itrsquos clear that this outing by writerdirector Richard LaGravenese is going to be far funnier and smarter than you might anticipate Considering that LaGravenese was also the writer of The Fisher King and the wildly underrated 1994 comedy The Ref and had the temerity to include actual jokes (and good ones) in his scripts for The Bridges of Madison County and The Horse Whisperer maybe Beautiful Creaturesrsquo

spiky cleverness shouldnrsquot come as such a surprise I still however didnrsquot expect that its first five minutes would be quite so full of inventive verbal and visual gags When Ethan in voice-over derided his sleepy South Carolina town for its annual Civil War re-creations with a dismissive ldquoAs if itrsquos gonna turn out different this timerdquo I chuckled When he complained about his local one-screen movie house only showing films already on DVD and misspelling their titles to boot and the camera tilted up on a marquee advertising ldquoLeo DiCaprio in Interceptionrdquo I laughed out loud for five seconds straight

The amusement rarely abates during the moviersquos first half But with events taking an inevitable turn toward the more traditionally teen-angst-y the film at more than two hours still feels way too long even with several significant plot points apparently lost in the editing process (Jeremy Ironsrsquo outwardly malevolent Caster Macon Ravenwood apparently has a change of heart regarding Ethan off-screen perhaps in the same off-screen locale where Ethan learns that his devoted nanny played by Viola Davis has supernatural powers of her own) Yet despite the presentationrsquos occasional clunkiness and CGI effects that might actually be a step down from those in the Twilight series Beautiful Creatures is a fine involving entertainment with bonus points earned for its fantastically strong

lineup of female talent Beyond the typically excellent Davis and the pert Zoey Deutch as a prissy schoolmate Alice Englert is thoroughly wonderful as protagonist Lena

Duchaness melding the evocative sullenness of Rooney Mara with the crack timing of Anna Kendrick Emmy Rossum flashing a joyously wicked cat-who-ate-the-canary grin supplies devilish charm as Lenarsquos untrustworthy cousin Ridley And dually cast as a meddlesome holy roller and a vicious high priestess of sorcery Emma Thompson appears to be having more fun on-screen than she has in nearly two decades Its middling opening-weekend box office may prevent it from happening but if LaGravenese and his divine cast want to continue the Twilight theme and treat us to five movies based on the Beautiful seriesrsquo four books so far at least I have no reason to bitch

A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARDldquoDo you have a planrdquo asks John

McClanersquos CIA-operative son at a moment of intense peril ldquoNordquo replies John McClane himself ldquoI thought wersquod just run in guns blazing making shit up as we go rdquo And that in a nutshell is the experience of A Good Day to Die Hard the fourth sequel to 1988rsquos practically peerless Die Hard and an action thriller so lacking in wit panache

Whatrsquos HappeninrsquoWhatrsquos HappeninrsquoTheatreEurydiceGalvin Fine Arts CenterFriday February 22 through Sunday February 24

Itrsquos the oldest of stories Girl loves boy Girl marries boy Girl gets a letter

from her late father and trips down the stairs and dies and takes an elevator to the underworld and lives in a room fashioned entirely of string and meets a trio of talking stones

No seriously itrsquos the oldest of stories Itrsquos just being told in a new and strange and wonderful way

The story in question is that of Eurydice the deceased bride of Greek

myth whom Orpheus famously traveled to the underworld to save only to wind up losing her forever Yet in playwright Sarah Ruhlrsquos Eurydice ndash which is being staged at St Ambrose Universityrsquos Galvin Fine Arts Center February 22 through 24 ndash this classic tale of Orpheus is experienced from his wifersquos perspective resulting in a romantic and fantastical comedydrama that offers the pleasures of the familiar blended with the giddy thrill of the unexpected Unless of course yoursquore expecting a Greek tragedy featuring a character named ldquoNasty

Interesting ManrdquoBoasting a student

cast that includes recognizable St Ambrose performers Molly Conrad Cody Johnson Tim Stompanato and Brooke Schelly director Daniel

Rairdin-Halersquos Eurydice will likely be filled with stunning and surprising visuals especially considering that one of the few scenic specifications in Ruhlrsquos script is her insistence on a lot of on-stage water (Donrsquot for instance expect Eurydice to remain altogether dry in that elevator)

And whatever the dampness levels

on the Galvin stage you can certainly expect Eurydice to be filled with dazzling imaginative storytelling courtesy of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated Ruhl whose play was described by the New York Timesrsquo Charles Isherwood as ldquoa love letter to the world that deserves to be remembered for a good long timerdquo He also wrote of the experience ldquoI fought off tears for half the play not always successfullyrdquo so you may want to bring some tissues Or you know maybe an umbrella

Eurydice plays at 730 pm on Friday and Saturday and 3 pm on Sunday and more information and reservations are available by calling (563)333-6251 or visiting SAUedutheatre

ExhibitThe Deaconrsquos SeatSt Ambrose Universityrsquos Catich GalleryTuesday February 26 through Friday April 5

On February 26 St Ambrose Universityrsquos Catich Gallery opens

a new exhibition of Fred Stonehouse paintings and drawings titled The Deaconrsquos Seat and on the galleryrsquos Web site wersquore told that the artistrsquos work is ruled by the presences of good evil and ldquoother paranormal phenomenardquo I thought then that Irsquod attach an image of Stonehousersquos painting Vox to this article so we can decide if that description indeed holds true Letrsquos find out

Good A friendly-looking (if sad) manrsquos face a grassy landscape a deer a butterfly a hummingbird and a bumblebee Check

Evil A trio of creepy skeleton heads Check

Other paranormal phenomena Hmm I dunno I guess Irsquom not seeing it Unless that is ldquoparanormal phenomenardquo would include the manrsquos face being on the deer and the skeleton heads being on the butterfly and hummingbird and bumblebee

Just kidding around there But humor ndash along with beauty originality and a healthy dose of the surreal ndash will be in abundance in St Ambrosersquos The

Deaconrsquos Seat exhibit which promises to be a fascinating showcase of vivid colors and unforgettable imagery courtesy of the Wisconsin-based Stonehouse

Nationally recognized for his creations that combine influences from folk and outsider art Stonehouse can boast exhibitions in dozens of museums and galleries across the country has taught at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and lists recording superstars Sheryl Crow and Madonna among his many private collectors But if you want true insight the artist the best way is no doubt through his works ndash those imaginative evocative frequently

cartoon-like expressions of mythology fable and personal experience that Stonehouse previously assembled in exhibits with such playful titles as The Odor of Sanctity Joy Farm and Jibberish amp Other Communications That latter title by the way was what I was going to call my planned exhibit of Whatrsquos Happeninrsquo articles until my boss indelicately told me that no one would ever attend such a thing

The Deaconrsquos Seat will be on display at the Catich Gallery (2101 Gaines Street Davenport) through April 5 ndash with an artist lecture and reception taking place from 4 to 7 pm on March 1 ndash and more information on the exhibition is available by calling (563)333-6444 or visiting SAUeducatich

Last week my boss asked me to compose a Whatrsquos Happeninrsquo

article on Dirty Rotten Imbeciles I did I read it to my co-workers at a staff meeting and then my boss demanded a new one explaining that he meant the DRI musicians playing RIBCO on February 21 Irsquom not going to tell you which dirty rotten imbeciles I thought he was talking about but suffice it to say Irsquom pretty sure my office didnrsquot trash itself

A noted hardcoremetal group now entering its fourth decade of performing DRI originally formed in Houston in 1982 and reportedly acquired its band name from an admonishment given by vocalist Kurt Brechtrsquos father (As in ldquoStop that freakinrsquo racket you dirty rotten imbecilesrdquo) After playing their first gig that summer the musicians recorded their debut release Dirty Rotten EP in the fall of 1982 and immediately displayed a gift for conciseness somehow managing to squeeze 22 songs onto a seven-inch EP lasting a mere 18 minutes

Their rise to underground fame actually didnrsquot take much longer than that because by 1983 the members of DRI found themselves

area This despicable conduct began in earnest during the George W Bush administration but has been taken to new levels of horror by the Obama administration Drone use is dramatically increasing worldwide sympathy and support for our enemies due to all the collateral damage it does So how is this an effective strategy by any standard of efficacy

Of equal and urgent concern is the use of drones on American soil that is currently in the works under the guise of safety and surveillance Take the time to do research on these new federalstate drone programs and you will learn for yourself about the potential for serious harm that prevails throughout this programming If not for yourself then at least check into the proliferation of both foreign and domestic drone use by our government for

Then there is the unprecedented foreign policy of using drones to kill enemies (and suspected enemies) without due process abroad including multiple innocents who happen to be in the target

Oscar-a-a-azinessdistribution ndash showed exceptional strength amongst Academy branches also scoring nods for Best Picture Director and Original Screenplay (Plus Best Foreign-Language Film which Amour should win in a lock) Even forget that Riva won BAFTArsquos Best Actress prize over challengers Chastain and Lawrence Is it possible for voters to resist giving Riva their thumbs-up considering that the woman will be turning 86 on the day of the Oscar ceremony ndash making her the oldest winner of a performance Oscar in history ndash and would also be handed her prize by French compatriot (and last yearrsquos Best Actor victor) Jean Dujardin The French would say Non I say Maybe But Irsquom leaning toward Riva regardless

Still if you think Best Actress is a head-scratcher this year thatrsquos nothing compared to the migraine-inducing quandary that is Best Supporting Actor a category that not only boasts no clear front-runner but a lineup of five performers who might care less about the results than we do considering that all five already have Oscars to call their own

Among this yearrsquos contenders Tommy Lee Jones as previously mentioned won the SAG Award for Lincoln Philip Seymour Hoffman won the CCA for The Master Christoph Waltz won the Globe and BAFTA Award for Django Unchained And Alan Arkin is nominated for Argo which this year is just as beneficial as having a precursor trophy under his belt Given all that the hardware alone suggests that Waltz has the upper hand here But will voters really feel the need to reward him ndash and for another Quentin Tarantino project no less ndash a mere three years after the Inglourious Basterds actorrsquos last Oscar victory

Similarly Arkin won in this category for 2006rsquos Little Miss Sunshine and while he worked with a different director for Argo doesnrsquot the performance itself great as it is feel a bit familiar Hoffmanrsquos Best Actor win for 2005rsquos Capote is also still fresh in memory and that Best Picture nominee was apparently far more admired

by Academy members than Paul Thomas Andersonrsquos meditative opus (Despite nominations for The Masterrsquos three central actors writerdirector Anderson himself was wholly ignored as were ndash insanely

ndash cinematographer Mihai Malaimare Jr and composer Jonny Greenwood) As for Jones his previous Oscar acknowledgment was for The Fugitive nearly 20 years ago and few could argue that the actor doesnrsquot deserve another statuette on his mantel But will Daniel Day-Lewisrsquo fait accompli victory steal all of Lincolnrsquos acting thunder And will Jonesrsquo much-memed grumpy

face at the Golden Globes negatively affect peoplersquos admiration for him (My thought on that last question is ldquono wayrdquo ndash we both want and need Jones to be stone-faced and surly)

That leaves Robert De Niro for Silver Linings

Playbook the perfect alternative for those unsure of whom to give a second Oscar because he has two one as Best Supporting Actor for 1974rsquos The Godfather Part II and one as Best Actor for 1980rsquos Raging Bull But itrsquos been 21 years since his last nomination and the man ndash who is admittedly wonderful in his film ndash has been working Silver Liningsrsquo PR circuit hard these days re-inventing himself as a lovable easily-prone-to-tears softie in the process not to be too catty about it but thatrsquos gotta be good for some votes Plus if Riva (or Chastain) winds up winning Best Actress and Russell loses Best Director and Adapted Screenplay De Niro is actually his much-adored moviersquos last serious chance to take home a statuette and I find it incredibly unlikely that Harvey Weinsteinrsquos strongest pony in the 2012 race is going to walk away completely empty-handed So with an almost total lack of conviction on my part Irsquom going to go with De Niro for Best Supporting Actor Hell if an Oscar is the encouragement he needs to keep from giving more terrible performances over the next decade itrsquoll have been absolutely worth it

COVER STORY

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Amy Adams The Master Sally Field Lincoln Anne Hathaway Les Miseacuterables Helen Hunt The Sessions Jacki Weaver Silver Linings Playbook

One song plus one unbroken take equals one Oscar

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY Amour Michael Haneke Django Unchained Quentin Tarantino Flight John Gatins Moonrise Kingdom Wes Anderson Roman Coppola Zero Dark Thirty Mark Boal

After big wins from Critics Choice Award (CCA) Golden Globe and British Academy of Film amp Television Arts (BAFTA) voters Tarantino should be the no-contest choice here

But Amourrsquos unexpectedly powerful showing in numerous Oscar categories makes me think otherwise Take that Americans Aus-tri-a Aus-tri-a

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY Argo Chris Terrio Beasts of the Southern Wild Lucy Alibar Benh Zeitlin Life of Pi David Magee Lincoln Tony Kushner Silver Linings Playbook David O Russell

Kushnerrsquos script Irsquom convinced is a thing of genius and Russell despite heavy competition recently won the BAFTA prize in this category

But Argo is about hostages who are rescued in part by a screenplay titled Argo Academy voters should just give Terriorsquos script the Oscar and miniature tights and a cape

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE Brave Frankenweenie ParaNorman The Pirates Band of Misfits Wreck-It Ralph

Frankenweenie would be welcome long-delayed acknowledgment of Tim Burton and Wreck-It Ralph would be a relatively hip option for a generally unhip Academy ParaNorman

meanwhile would just be my choice so obviously thatrsquos not gonna happen (Nor will The Pirates) Letrsquos go with the Golden Globe and BAFTA winner in this category ndash maybe not a brave prediction

but a Brave prediction nonetheless

For the first time ever Irsquove seen all five nominees in this category prior to the ceremony and am thinking my favorite will actually be the Academyrsquos favorite too Wow Maybe that does happen on occasion

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE Anna Karenina Argo Life of Pi Lincoln Skyfall

Anna Kareninarsquos Dario Marianelli previously won for 2007rsquos Atonement It feels as though Lincolnrsquos John Williams has won like a million of these things Argorsquos Alexandre Desplat and Skyfallrsquos Thomas Newman are overdue for Oscar recognition (The latter ridiculously so) But thanks in large part to composer Mychael Danna Life of Pi sounds as good as it looks and it looks amazing

BEST CINEMATOGRAPHYAnna Karenina Django Unchained Life of Pi Lincoln Skyfall

Have I mentioned that Life of Pi looks amazing

BEST FILM EDITING Argo Life of Pi Lincoln

Silver Linings Playbook Zero Dark Thirty

Generally speaking the Best Picture winner also wins Best Film Editing It just didnrsquot last year or the year before that Damn that boldface

BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN Anna Karenina The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Les Miseacuterables Life of Pi Lincoln

I should probably be going with Les Mis or Life of Pi on this ndash or quite frankly The Hobbit or Lincoln ndash but that theatre set that magically transformed into an entire bloody Tolstoy novel is just too jaw-dropping not to predict

BEST COSTUME DESIGN Anna Karenina Les Miseacuterables Lincoln Mirror Mirror Snow White amp the Huntsman

Fun as it is to imagine a battle royale between dueling Snow Whites Irsquom pretty certain another fictional lady has this one in the bag

BEST SOUND EDITING Argo Django Unchained Life of Pi Skyfall Zero Dark Thirty

A hunch based solely on the presumption that three Oscars for Argo wonrsquot be deemed enough

BEST SOUND MIXING Argo Les Miseacuterables Life of Pi Lincoln Skyfall

Nominated musicals almost always win this category and will likely continue to even though I know the Les Mis songs by heart and still couldnrsquot comprehend all the lyrics to that opening number

BEST VISUAL EFFECTS The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Life of Pi Marvelrsquos The Avengers Prometheus Snow White amp the Huntsman

Tony the tiger I mean Oscar the tiger

BEST MAKEUP amp HAIRSTYLING The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Hitchcock Les Miseacuterables

The Hobbit feels too ldquobeen there awarded thatrdquo Anthony Hopkins looked less like Hitch than like a marshmallow with eyes Les Mis it is then

A hunch based solely on Curfew being the categoryrsquos one English-language nominee Hey if I can be lazy Oscar voters can too

BEST ANIMATED SHORT Adam amp Dog Fresh Guacamole Head Over Heels Maggie Simpson in ldquoThe Longest Daycarerdquo Paperman

Disneys charming black-and-white entry will likely take it and Adam amp Dog totally deserves it But if through some miracle this awardrsquos presenter exclaims ldquoAnd the Oscar goes to Ben Affleckrdquo I wonrsquot be the least bit surprised

What Else Is Happeninrsquo


Swap your anger at your friend for acceptance of reality She isnrsquot able to stand up to him and he isnrsquot able to say yes to spending money on a pricey vacation when he probably spends much of his life worrying that hersquoll someday have to pawn a kidney to buy groceries Tell your friend ndash sans animosity ndash that yoursquore weary of searching yoursquore booking a hotel and you hope theyrsquoll join you if it works for them Who knows when yoursquore all looking at celebrating your 20th together ndash maybe on a tropical cruise ndash things may be different Not because either of them is likely to change but because Orbitz may start offering great deals on floating to Hawaii on pieces of broken barrels

Ask the Advice Goddess BY AMY ALKON

Hawaii Five-NoTen years ago my friend and I met our

husbands on the same night (they were friends who challenged us to a game of pool) and we both got married the same year We all pledged to spend our 10th anniversary in Hawaii together but my friendrsquos husband is making it difficult saying no to every flight activity and hotel my friend and I propose Hersquoll call a hotel ldquooverratedrdquo or ldquotoo touristyrdquo but his one bad quality is that hersquos seriously cheap and itrsquos becoming clear that hersquos trying to torpedo the whole vacation because of it (They are well-off by the way) He keeps joking that we should just stay home and celebrate ndash but I donrsquot think hersquos really joking Irsquom angry with my friend for never telling her husband to curb his cheapness and for not standing up for our plans and worried that my anger could affect our friendship

ndash Frustrated

While the Hawaiian islands are home to some of the worldrsquos most beautiful tropical gardens your friendrsquos husband would like to point out that your hometown boasts not just one but several Olive Gardens (You can still wear leis)

Your friend probably feels embarrassed about her husbandrsquos tightwad-y ways (and her inability to change them) but probably feels disloyal saying so Still despite how the man must get blisters from clinging so tight to a dollar being married to him must work for her (You donrsquot mention anything about his being horrible to her or even just making her persistently unhappy like by promising to have children with her and then insisting they have goldfish instead because theyrsquore cheaper)

To feel less suckered try to have some sympathy for the guy who probably isnrsquot cheap just to irritate you and everyone he knows People say ldquoMoney talksrdquo To him it probably says stuff like ldquoIf I leave you Irsquom never coming backrdquo The origins of his cheap-itude may be in his upbringing ndash and may even be in his genes according to a 2010 study by Dr Itamar Simonson and Dr Aner Sela surveying attitudes about risk and spending in identical and fraternal twins As in other twin studies identical twins (who are born from a single egg and are thus genetically identical) were significantly more alike in a number of measures including how risk- and loss-averse they were suggesting a genetic component to being a cheap mo-fo

MUSIC

and musically fun With ldquoIn the Moodrdquo balance prominent melody and solid intonation made the swing style and vocal blend more persuasive

Period costumes velvety sing-song ldquoradiordquo announcements advertising jingles unison and partnered dancing movements and brief comic bits gave a sense of historical context and nostalgia Still even at its best Five by Designrsquos performance was more style than substance and essentially incongruous with the symphonyrsquos artistic excellence

Ultimately the concert forcefully revealed the appeal and artistry of American classical music but also a disheartening fact There was more pop music in this concert than American classical music for the entire season

The next Masterworks concerts will be held March 9 (at the Adler Theatre) and 10 (at Augustana Collegersquos Centennial Hall) featuring Stravinskyrsquos Rite of Spring and Mussorgskyrsquos Pictures at an Exhibition For more information visit QCSymphonycom


the tune As the singers moved (sort of dancing) the balance problem shifted from one part to another ndash the bass too loud then the alto then the tenor

Five by Designrsquos sidemen on piano drums and an amplified upright bass ndash the Quad City Symphony bass section wasnrsquot used ndash were steady but without much dynamic variation The bass remained consistently penetrating even when the orchestra was featured playing Calvin Custerrsquos beautifully expressive medley of Duke Ellington tunes The balance improved when individual singers stepped forward for ldquoMona Lisardquo and ldquoIrsquoll Be Seeing Yourdquo allowing the sophistication of the arrangements to be heard but these sections unfortunately revealed vocal instability and pitch frailty

Five by Design was at its best in Evans amp Loebrsquos ldquoRosie the Riveterrdquo (a World War II salute to womenrsquos home-front work efforts) sung a cappella with a vocal walking bass and the other singers pretending to play a trumpet trombone with hand vibrato and ndash Irsquom guessing ndash a clarinet The song was both well-executed

carried in the dancersrsquo movements matching the lofty hymn-like essence of the choral track

Love on the Run ended with Carterrsquos jazzy ldquoNewsflashrdquo which exuded the feel of a smoky rsquo60s nightclub and sort of combined the tones of Guys amp Dollsrsquo ldquoHavanardquo scene and Sweet Charityrsquos ldquoRich Manrsquos Frugrdquo (minus the Bob Fosse movements) Performing to CD accompaniment that featured voice-overs about newspapers mixed with advertising jingles company members grabbed newspapers from each other while occasionally flirting with some dancers and inciting jealousy in others And the scene ended this Love Storiesrsquo evening of varied passions on a high playful note leaving me in good spirits happy with the hour-and-three-quarters of entertainment and already longing for Ballet Quad Citiesrsquo next performance

of winter fairies dancing in a forest clearing as if taking part in a respectful celebration of their existence And yet there was also a touch of chaos as nine dancers filled the stage in sometimes-synchronized couples and trios though that chaos wasnrsquot one of confusion or lack of control it came merely from so much variance in action The scene also included a beautiful segment in which one couple danced in the foreground while another couple mirrored their movements behind them but rarely at the same moment Instead the couple in the background would mimic the couple in the spotlight at a different pace or a different place in the musical phrasing

Choreographer Courtney Lyonrsquos ldquoPromise of Livingrdquo set to Aaron Coplandrsquos choral composition of the same title followed Through the combination of the songrsquos Americana nature and the earthy brown-and-white clothing worn by the piecersquos seven dancers I experienced the sequence as an ethereal early-Midwestern-pioneers sort of harvest celebration with the deep respect

realizations about your future are on the verge of popping into your awareness ndash but they will only pop if you are immersed in a calm and unhurried state

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19) To make your part of the world a better place stress-loving

workaholics may need to collaborate with slow-moving underachievers Serious business might be best negotiated in places such as bowling alleys or parking lots You should definitely consider seeking out curious synergies and unexpected alliances Itrsquos an odd grace period Capricorn Donrsquot assume you already know how to captivate the imaginations of people whose influence you want in your life Be willing to think thoughts and feel feelings you have rarely if ever entertained

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) Gawkercom came up with colorful ways to describe actress

Zooey Deschanel In a weird coincidence their pithy phrases for her seem to fit the moods and experiences you will soon be having I guess you could say yoursquore scheduled to have a Zooey Deschanel-according-to-Gawkercom kind of week Here are some of the themes (1) Novelty ukulele tune (2) Over-emphatic stage wink (3) Sentient glitter cloud (4) Over-iced Funfetti cupcake (5) Melted-bead craft project (6) Living Pinterest board (7) Animated Hipstamatic photograph (8) Bambirsquos rabbit friend (9) Satchel of fairy dust (10) Hipster labradoodle

PISCES (February 19-March 20) You may have heard the thundering exhortation ldquoKnow thyselfrdquo Its origin

is ancient More than 2400 years ago it was inscribed at the front of the Temple of Apollo in Delphi Greece As important as it is to obey this command there is an equally crucial corollary ldquoBe thyselfrdquo Donrsquot you agree Is there any experience more painful than not being who you really are Could there be any behavior more damaging to your long-term happiness than trying to be someone other than who you really are If there is even the slightest gap Pisces now is an excellent time to start closing it Cosmic forces will be aligned in your favor if you push hard to further identify the nature of your authentic self and then take aggressive steps to foster its full bloom Homework Is it possible therersquos something you really need but you donrsquot know what it is Can you guess what it might be Visit FreeWillAstrologycom

from the unruly truth But according to my analysis you will be most brilliant and effective if yoursquore cheerfully honest Thatrsquos the strategy most likely to provide genuine healing too ndash even if its initial effects are unsettling Please remember that it wonrsquot be enough merely to communicate the easy secrets with polite courage You will have to tap into the deepest sources you know and unveil the whole story with buoyantly bold elegance

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) The word ldquochainrdquo may refer to something that confines or restricts But it can also mean a series of

people who are linked together because of their common interests and their desire to create strength through unity I believe that one of those two definitions will play an important role in your life during the coming weeks Virgo If you proceed with the intention to emphasize the second meaning you will minimize and maybe even eliminate the first

LIBRA (September 23-October 22) People in Sweden used to drive

their cars on the left-hand side of the road But a growing body of research revealed it would be better if everyone drove on the right-hand side So on September 3 1967 the law changed Everyone switched over All non-essential traffic was halted for hours to accommodate the necessary adjustments What were the results Lots of motorists grumbled about having to alter their routine behavior but the transition was smooth In fact the accident rate went down I think yoursquod benefit from doing a comparable ritual sometime soon Libra Which of your traditions or habits could use a fundamental revision

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) When a woman is pregnant her womb stretches dramatically getting

bigger to accommodate the growing fetus I suspect yoursquoll undergo a metaphorically similar process in the coming weeks A new creation will be gestating and yoursquoll have to expand as it ripens How Herersquos one way Yoursquoll have to get smarter and more sensitive in order to give it the care it needs Herersquos another way Yoursquoll have to increase your capacity for love Donrsquot worry You wonrsquot have to do it all at once ldquoLittle by littlerdquo is your watchword

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21) Do you floss your teeth while yoursquore meditating Do you text-message and shave or put on

makeup as you drive Do you simultaneously eat a meal pay your bills watch TV and exercise If so you are probably trying to move too fast and do too much Even in normal times thatrsquos no good But in the coming week it should be taboo You need to slow-w-w-w way-y-y-y dow-w-wn Sagittarius Yoursquove got to compel yourself to do one thing at a time I say this not just because your mental and physical and spiritual health depend on it Certain crucial

ARIES (March 21-April 19) In the course of her world travels writer Jane Brunette has seen many wonderful

things ndash as well as a lot of trash The most beautiful litter she says is in Bali She loves the ldquowoven palm leaf offerings colorful cloth left from a ceremony and flowers that dry into exquisite wrinkles of colorrdquo Even the shiny candy wrappers strewn by the side of the road are fun to behold Your assignment Aries is to adopt a perceptual filter akin to Brunettersquos Is there any stuff other people regard as worthless or outworn that you might find useful interesting or even charming Irsquom speaking metaphorically as well as literally

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The Old Testament tells the story of a man named Methuselah who supposedly didnrsquot

die until he was 969 years old Some Kabbalistic commentators suggest that he didnrsquot literally walk the earth for almost 10 centuries Rather he was extra-skilled at the arts of living His experiences were profoundly rich He packed 969 yearsrsquo worth of meaningful adventures into a normal life span I prefer that interpretation and Irsquod like to invoke it as I assess your future According to my analysis of the astrological omens Taurus you will have Methuselahrsquos talent in the coming weeks

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the coming weeks Irsquom expecting your life to verge on being epic and majestic

Therersquos a better than even chance that you will do something heroic You might finally activate a sleeping potential or tune in to your future power spot or learn what yoursquove never been able to grasp before And if you capitalize gracefully on the kaleidoscopic kismet thatrsquos flowing your way I bet you will make a discovery that will fuel you for the rest of your long life In mythical terms you will create a new Grail or tame a troublesome dragon ndash or both

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Jackalopes resemble jackrabbits except that they have antlers like deer and tails like pheasants They love whiskey

only have sex during storms and can mimic most sounds even the human voice The milk of the female has curative properties Strictly speaking however the jackalope doesnrsquot actually exist Itrsquos a legendary beast like the mermaid and unicorn And yet Wyoming lawmakers have decided to honor it Early this year they began the process of making it the statersquos official mythical creature I bring this to your attention Cancerian because now would be an excellent time to select your own official mythical creature The evocative presence of this fantastic fantasy would inspire your imagination to work more freely and playfully which is just what you need Whatrsquoll it be Dragon Sphinx Phoenix Herersquos a list TinyURLcomMythicCritters

LEO (July 23-August 22) The temptation to hide what yoursquore feeling could be strong right now You may

wonder if you should protect yourself and others

on what government can and cannot do This is in stark contrast to the more prevalent thinking today that these documents are here to govern the people

People in America live in one of 50 states and via state constitutions we delegate to the 50 state governments limited authority to act on we the peoplersquos behalf not the other way around In turn the 50 states grant limited authority to the federal government to act on the 50 statesrsquo behalf It is a bottom-up upside-down-pyramid form of governance starting with individuals (regardless of the state heshe lives in) as the fundamental authority funneling upward to the counties then to the states and finally to the federal government which is given the least amount of authority in the end Clearly under this scenario we the people through sheer laziness and a destructive lack of civic participation have allowed our republic to become utterly perverted

Adding to this devastating apathy is the deliberate dumbing-down of our children concerning academic subjects such as American history and political science The difference between a democracy and a republic has been quietly and carefully culled from many schoolsrsquo curricula Furthermore constitutional law (aka

Knowledge Is Powercontract law) is an elective in most law schools not a requirement Much more instruction is devoted to administrative and statutory law because in this realm lies the contrived authority by which we are all being systematically enslaved

Listen and count how many times you hear the mainstream pundits politicians and academics refer to American governance as a democracy and not a republic Itrsquos exhaustive The distinction is being eliminated from our national identity for a reason As long as we hold individual rights as sacrosanct as our republic under the rule of common law does most specifically no global agenda can prevail in America Each of us must accept that disarming Americans is one of the crucial elements for globalization to succeed Once we acknowledge the real end game then we can see this strategic manipulation of the Second Amendment for what it really is ndash consensus-building

Getting the publicrsquos buy-in for altering the Second Amendment via legislation and rule-making by executive orders instead of a proper constitutional amendment expedites political goals versus any real solutions to

It is glaringly obvious that the tragedy surrounding the Aurora Colorado and Newtown Connecticut shootings is being

grossly objectified to achieve a political agenda of disarming Americans

I am no lover of weapons In fact I abhor any violence including the disgraceful warfare the United States is currently engaged in I despise the weakness that characterizes our lack of civic will in the 21st Century to hold our governments accountable for perpetuating both warfare and welfare upon the people

We are truly a pack of sheep when it comes to preserving our legacy as a republic governed by the rule of law Letrsquos be crystal clear folks America was not founded as a democracy America was founded as a republic There is a huge difference that needs clarification ndash again

Democracy is rule by the majority or better stated mob rule What the majority decides goes In a republic governed by the rule of law every individualrsquos rights are specifically protected on a case-by-case basis In other words the minority is not subjected to the whims of the majority Laws decide not men It is a failsafe against the tyranny that characterized the British monarchy and just about every despotic form of government including fascism socialism

and communism ndash all of which enjoy a few Haves that control the property and labor of the remaining Have-Nots

This profound distinction is what has compelled people to immigrate to America after we won the Revolutionary War and secured our liberty from the British crown Throughout American history (all 200-plus years of it) our governance has been called ldquothe grand experimentrdquo because nothing like it had ever before been achieved

I believe the Bill of Rights retains a divine component in that it mirrors the reverence for Godrsquos creation ndash mankind ndash by declaring each and every individual equal under the law This nod to Natural Law is what sets Americarsquos republic apart from all others The Declaration of Independence the Articles of Confederation the Constitution and the Bill of Rights clearly establish that every individual has ldquounalienablerdquo rights endowed by the Creator This means that certain rights are ours simply because we are Godrsquos creation regardless of whether a government does or does not exist

The Bill of Rights establishes with specificity what rights no government may infringe or violate In other words the provisions of the founding documents are specific instructions Continued On Page 12
