When you think of cold, wet clay, do you think of it being used for therapeutic purposes?
According to Fernando Arango, director of the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind Department Art Club, this is just one of the advantages of the pottery class that he teaches at the school.
Arango, who has worked with the club for two years, holds the class for the school’s blind students every Tuesday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
“It is like therapy for the students because it helps with coordination,” Arango said. “Since they cannot see, they have good perception of dimension and they are good at sculpting.”

I was hesitant to read the novel by Philippa Gregory because of the historical background, but I was literally blown away by the 672-page monstrosity.
It resembled somewhat of a personal journal illustrating all of the scandalous affairs the two young Boleyn sisters, Anne and Mary, had with King Henry VIII of England.
The movie itself was exquisite. It’s not just another historically based movie. Although it was a loose translation of the novel, the essential elements of the exchange of sex for power and wealth strongly resonate throughout.

King Arthur is a legendary hero from medieval Britain, and he is also the lead character in Flagler College’s spring musical “Camelot,” directed by Phyllis Gibbs.
Students in the production have been working for weeks to pull the play together before the curtain goes up in early March.
J.K. Van Arsdall, a freshman who plays Sir Sagramore in the production is confident that the effort put into the play will pay off on opening night.

Imagine being trapped or in danger, and instead of waiting for rescue or death, you think of a safer place, and in seconds you are there, delivered from harm. This ability is what David Rice (Hayden Christensen) discovers about himself one icy winter day when he steps on thin ice and is suddenly trapped under the frozen surface of a river. The next moment, he is soaking wet lying on a pile of books in the public library.

At some point or another most students have come across the different versions of popular downloading software called Limewire, Bearshare, Kazaa, and way back in the early days of downloading, Napster.
But, the two important things people should know about these online file-sharing services? They can provide you, for free, almost any piece of media you want to download onto your computer, and they are illegal.
The music industry as a whole certainly takes issue with each of these individual downloading services because, as they give away artists’ music for little to nothing, they are causing a decline in record sales.

“Sweeney Todd” is more than a musical. Way more. It is a slasher flick and epic gore fest with wicked songs and a waltz thrown in.
Johnny Depp has come a long way since “21 Jump Street,” and proves his acting – and singing – worth once again as the titular demon barber who picks the scariest place on earth to have a barber shop. In traditional Tim Burton fashion, this film exceeds expectation in his usual realm of the fancifully sinister. This is by far the most disturbing, dark, and psychotic movie he’s ever made.
