Deep Dish Theater Company’s seventh season continues with Athol Fugard’s "A Lesson from Aloes." It will be directed by Joan Darling and will run through November 10. Set in 1963 South Africa, "A Lesson from Aloes" is a haunting portrait of three long-time friends, white couple Piet and Gladys and black South African Steve. Split apart by the machinations of the apartheid regime, they meet for dinner amid suspicion that one of them is a traitor to their revolutionary cause. “'Aloes' doesn’t just deal with the issue of apartheid, but what its hatred did to everyone involved,” said Darling. “I love this play because it catches you below the level of your conscious mind,” she added. “It is moving and sad, but also uplifting.”  Deep Dish Theater, University Mall, Chapel Hill.

The Story of?"Diamond in a Pearl"™
When an oyster swallows a grain of sand, it feels discomfort, so it covers the pain with a coat of nacre (pearl).  In this healing process it creates a beautiful pearl.  It is rather ironic to think that something so beautiful can be created out of so much discomfort.  The irony is like life itself.  It is easy to love in good times, but it takes courage to love through the discomforts of our lives.  It is this understanding, this virtue, that has been my teacher, my healer, and has given me courage and a sense of hope.  "Diamond in a Pearl" is an expression of this understanding. The diamond represents the grain of sand and the pearl evokes an aura of courage, love and healing that is embedded deep within the soul.  It is this unique transformation that has given birth to "Diamond in a Pearl: the symbol of love.
Love has the power to heal all wounds,?love defines our existence,?love is a Diamond in a Pearl.

Fall is here: What I should do before I store Summer clothes?

Before storing Summer clothes, be careful that you don’t put your silks and linens away with stains on them.  The heat from storage over the winter could make a stain that is easy to fix right now a devil to remove in the spring. Caramelized sugar stains are a good example of this type of staining.  If there is any sugar substance on a piece of fabric, it generally goes on clear, which is a problem in and of itself because you may not realize it is there.  An example of this is spilled Chablis wine, 7UP, or ....
