If, down the road, there is a lot of interest, we are also maybe considering Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 5:30 am. Everybody who is interested in joining the classes will first need to take an intensive 2-session, hour-long Elements class that will train you in the 9 Foundational Movements of CrossFit. This Elements class is priced separately, but MANDATORY if you want to start taking indoor classes with me. This will be offered on February 19th and 21st. A note: BPC's pricing for this introductory experience is actually one of the best in Austin. Other gyms charge 150-plus for this. If you only want to "check out" Crossfit, I highly recommend that you show up to BPC's free Saturday workouts and maybe even stay for a strength session right after that. 9 am on Saturday. I will be at the gym on February 2nd and 9th from 8:30 am through the free workout in order to best guide you through workouts and answer any questions you might have. We offer three different pricing packages, each with three different options based on how often you want to go to the gym. I've attached a pdf (please contact me directly for it) outlining this pricing package. And the nice news-- students, teachers, and senior citizens get 15% off!

Iden Payne Awards for Outstanding Direction of a Drama for The Jungle AND for Frankenstein as well as Outstanding Original Script for The Jungle and The Austin Examiner's Best New Play Written by an Austinite for The Jungle).

The play will be cut down somewhat, to under two hours, but will retain Shakespeare's language on the whole. It will also rely on a brief frame story original to Artistic Director Connor Hopkins (winner of B. Iden Payne Awards for Outstanding Direction of a Drama for The Jungle AND for Frankenstein as well as Outstanding Original Script for The Jungle and The Austin Examiner's Best New Play Written by an Austinite for The Jungle). It will make a very effective, accessible introduction to Macbeth for students who have not seen the play and will provide an interesting and original take for those already familiar with the story. AGES: The show is made for grownups, and middle school and high school students are also welcome. Shakespearean content (homicide, suggestive language, and the like). Dates: Oct. 31-Nov. 18, 2012. 8pm Weds-Sat and 6pm Sundays. Ticket prices for educators and students are very affordable: $10 for shows on Weds., Thurs., or Sun., and $15 for shows on Fri. or Sat. (Halloween excluded; admission on 10/31 is $25 and includes admission to our costume party, primarily for grownups). Very large groups (over 20) are eligible for further discounts ($8-$12 tickets). Faculty who bring groups of 5 or more receive complimentary admission. Educators can purchase the tickets themselves or give students a password they can use to buy their own tickets. Director/cast talkbacks/Q&A for groups of five or more are available (by request) on these dates: 11/1, 11/4, 11/7, 11/11, 11/14, 11/15.

Come out to the Spooky Skedaddle 5K and Festival for a fun-filled evening that supports a great cause. More info at <a href="http://spookyskedaddle.org/">http://spookyskedaddle.org/</a>. <hr/> "Toil and Trouble" by Trouble Puppet Theater Company (SI by request) October 31 - Nov. 18, 2012 Wed-Sat at 8pm; Sundays at 6pm Salvage Vanguard Theater, 2803 Manor Rd, Austin TX 78722 Trouble Puppet Theater Company is excited to present Toil and Trouble, our original adaptation of Macbeth, and we want to let you know that we welcome groups, especially student groups, and that we can offer ASL-interpreted performances to our deaf community. The play will be cut down somewhat, to under two hours, but will retain Shakespeare's language on the whole. It will also rely on a brief frame story original to Artistic Director Connor Hopkins (winner of B. Iden Payne Awards for Outstanding Direction of a Drama for The Jungle AND for Frankenstein as well as Outstanding Original Script for The Jungle and The Austin Examiner's Best New Play Written by an Austinite for The Jungle). It will make a very effective, accessible introduction to Macbeth for students who have not seen the play and will provide an interesting and original take for those already familiar with the story. AGES: The show is made for grownups, and middle school and high school students are also welcome. Shakespearean content (homicide, suggestive language, and the like). Dates: Oct. 31-Nov. 18, 2012. 8pm Weds-Sat and 6pm Sundays. Ticket prices for educators and students are very affordable: $10 for shows on Weds., Thurs., or Sun., and $15 for shows on Fri. or Sat. (Halloween excluded; admission on 10/31 is $25 and includes admission to our costume party, primarily for grownups). Very large groups (over 20) are eligible for further discounts ($8-$12 tickets). Faculty who bring groups of 5 or more receive complimentary admission. Educators can purchase the tickets themselves or give students a password they can use to buy their own tickets. Director/cast talkbacks/Q&A for groups of five or more are available (by request) on these dates: 11/1, 11/4, 11/7, 11/11, 11/14, 11/15. We will also offer ASL interpretation for one or more performances; please let me know if you are interested in arranging an ASL-interpreted performance at no added charge. <hr/> Published 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month.

Sign up for our newsletter online to get advance notice of free classes, sales, coupons, and other information. Saturday, August 4 at 9 am - Don Gardner, Certified Consulting Arborist, teaches us "Basic Tree Care for Central Texas." Trees are the most valuable plant in our landscape; it pays to know how to take care of them. There is so much misinformation out there about trees, from mulching to pruning, that it's important to get the facts. Attending Don's class, homeowners and professionals can gain specific skills in tree care, along with a greater understanding of trees in general. Don is a favorite expert with those who know him. He has been an arborist for over 30 years. Friday, August 10 at 10 am - Rosina Newton, Horticulturist at the Natural Gardener, presents "Organic Vegetable Gardening 101." Beginning gardeners - or longtime gardeners from other regions of the country - often ask for this class. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to create successful vegetable, herb, and flower gardens in Central Texas. Learn site selection, soil preparation and fertilization, planting methods, pest control, and more! Rosina is a 1984 graduate of Texas A&M University in Horticulture and has been assisting customers and serving as horticulturist at the Natural Gardener for over 15 years. This class may be slightly over one hour. This class will repeat on Tuesday, August 14. Saturday, August 11 at 9 am - Jeff Ferris, Horticulturist at the Natural Gardener, ACC Instructor, and cofounder of Neighborhood Harvest Project (nhpnetwork.org), presents "Know Your Allies: Beneficial Insects." It's a war out there. Squash bugs and leaf-footed bugs and aphids...oh my! It's time to call in reinforcements to help you control the pests in the garden. Of all our problem bugs, we need to remember that less than 5% of the bugs we see are actually bad guys. Recognizing the good guys and learning how to attract them to the garden can give you the upper hand in the battle to protect that prized tomato or head of broccoli from the forces of evil! Come learn who your real friends are in the garden and landscape. <hr/> Vacation Bible School M-F, August 6-10, 2012 6:30pm â 8:30pm Solid Rock Baptist Fellowship, 608 Ralph Ablanedo Dr, Austin Tx K thru 6th grade, deaf or hearing. <hr/> Vacation Bible School at Jesus Deaf Church August 20-24, 2012. 8am - noon Jesus Deaf Church, 1307 Newton St, Austin TX 78704 Age 3 thru entering 6th grade.

Saturday, August 4 at 9 am - Don Gardner, Certified Consulting Arborist, teaches us "Basic Tree Care for Central Texas." Trees are the most valuable plant in our landscape; it pays to know how to take care of them. There is so much misinformation out there about trees, from mulching to pruning, that it's important to get the facts. Attending Don's class, homeowners and professionals can gain specific skills in tree care, along with a greater understanding of trees in general. Don is a favorite expert with those who know him. He has been an arborist for over 30 years. Friday, August 10 at 10 am - Rosina Newton, Horticulturist at the Natural Gardener, presents "Organic Vegetable Gardening 101." Beginning gardeners - or longtime gardeners from other regions of the country - often ask for this class. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to create successful vegetable, herb, and flower gardens in Central Texas. Learn site selection, soil preparation and fertilization, planting methods, pest control, and more! Rosina is a 1984 graduate of Texas A&M University in Horticulture and has been assisting customers and serving as horticulturist at the Natural Gardener for over 15 years. This class may be slightly over one hour. This class will repeat on Tuesday, August 14. Saturday, August 11 at 9 am - Jeff Ferris, Horticulturist at the Natural Gardener, ACC Instructor, and cofounder of Neighborhood Harvest Project (nhpnetwork.org), presents "Know Your Allies: Beneficial Insects." It's a war out there. Squash bugs and leaf-footed bugs and aphids...oh my! It's time to call in reinforcements to help you control the pests in the garden. Of all our problem bugs, we need to remember that less than 5% of the bugs we see are actually bad guys. Recognizing the good guys and learning how to attract them to the garden can give you the upper hand in the battle to protect that prized tomato or head of broccoli from the forces of evil! Come learn who your real friends are in the garden and landscape. <hr/> Vacation Bible School M-F, August 6-10, 2012 6:30pm â 8:30pm Solid Rock Baptist Fellowship, 608 Ralph Ablanedo Dr, Austin Tx K thru 6th grade, deaf or hearing. <hr/> Vacation Bible School at Jesus Deaf Church August 20-24, 2012. 8am - noon Jesus Deaf Church, 1307 Newton St, Austin TX 78704 Age 3 thru entering 6th grade.

This British feature documentary (76 minutes) filmed partly in Texas will have its world premiere at the SXSW 2012 Film Festival. All are welcome. What if you lost the ability to hear music? Could you find it again ... and could music find you? Lost and Sound is a moving creative documentary, made by a partially deaf filmmaker. It weaves its way through a startling world of sound and silence, via the ears and brains of three extraordinary people, as they try to re-discover music: a dancer deaf since birth, a young pianist who lost her hearing as a baby, and a music critic facing sudden partial deafness. Music is one of the greatest of all human experiences; millions of us fall under its spell every day, and it engages more parts of the brain than any other human activity. But 1 in 7 of us will experience hearing loss. Does the end of hearing have to mean the end of music? Filmmakers will be in attendance with ASL interpreters for Question & Answer sessions. <a href="http://schedule.sxsw.com/2012/events/event_FS12929">http://schedule.sxsw.com/2012/events/event_FS12929</a> Info: Lindsey Dryden <a href="mailto:lindsey.dryden@gmail.com">lindsey.dryden@gmail.com</a> <a href="http://lostandsound.org">http://lostandsound.org</a> Tweet @lost_sound_film <a href="http://facebook.com/lostandsoundfilm">http://facebook.com/lostandsoundfilm</a> <hr/> The Shins -- Thursday March 15, 6-10pm Counting Crows -- Friday March 16, 6-10pm The Cult -- Saturday March 17, 5-10pm At Auditorium Shores, Austin TX DEAF attendees, register to hold your place at the front of the stage: eventbrite.com/event/2982802643 Interpreted for the Deaf by LotusSIGN. <hr/> Motorcycle ramble Fri, March 16 - 18 Central Texas Hill Country Hi Friends, The Winter is almost over!

Austin TX Sharing Gallaudet's Resources with the Southwest Region: "Reading to Deaf Children" Workshop Workshop is designed for parents, caregivers, and educators. Literacy and Language Development workshop teaches the effective book-sharing techniques known as "the 15 Principles for Reading to Deaf Children." These principles were developed based on research studying effective communication strategies deaf adults use when reading to deaf and hard-of-hearing children. The workshop focuses on key concerns: <ul> <li>Why is reading important? </li><li>How do I use sign language to share stories? </li><li>What if I don't know all the signs related to the story? </li><li>How do I keep American Sign Language (ASL) and English visible while reading? </li><li>How do I arrange the placement of the child and the book?</li></ul> Participants learn to recognize and apply the 15 principles for reading to deaf and hard-of-hearing children. They practice these principles and gain new skills that they can use with their own children or with the children they teach. For more information, please contact Gallaudet University Regional Center - Southwest at 512-223-6373 or <a href="mailto:gurc.acc@gallaudet.edu">gurc.acc@gallaudet.edu</a>.
