Come From Away

It is not for nothing that Newfoundland is known as “the Rock.” Over 6,200 miles of jagged rock walls, formed millions of years ago by continental collision, volcanoes, and ice sheets, rise out of the North Atlantic along its coastline. For centuries the citizens of Newfoundland have survived brutal storms and epic winters by taking care of each other. So on 9/11, as thousands of airline passengers were stranded when the United States air space closed suddenly, the Newfoundlanders of Gander opened their arms and their homes and did the one thing they knew how to do: they took care of them.
With a diverse and talented handful of performers onstage, this New York Times Critics’ Pick takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.

纽芬兰被称为「石地」并非毫无原因。超过6200英里的锯齿状岩壁，在数百万年前由大陆碰撞、火山喷发和冰盖漂移形成，并沿着北大西洋的海岸线持续上升。几个世纪以来，纽芬兰的居民通过互相照顾，度过了严酷的风暴和史诗般的冬天。所以在9/11事件中，当美国领空突然关闭，成千上万的航空乘客被困在空中时，盖德的纽芬兰人张开双臂，开放他们的家，做了他们会做的事:照顾他们。《纽约时报》评论家们推荐欣赏的这部剧，由众多才华横溢的表演者出演。让你深入了解7000名受困乘客的真实故事，以及纽芬兰小镇欢迎他们的真实故事。文化冲突，紧张情绪高涨，但不安变成了信任，音乐升入夜空，感恩变成了持久的友谊。

Stone Images IX
When: Oct. 16 – Dec. 9
Time: Monday closed ; Tues – Sun 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. ; Thurs 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Where: The Pacific Bonsai Museum
Info:http://pacificbonsaimuseum.org/
Stone Images IX is a free exhibit open to the public featuring 28 stones collected from Washington, California, New Mexico, and Alaska by members of the Puget Sound Bonsai Association’s Viewing Stone Study Group. Viewing stones, as they are known in the United States (a.k.a. suiseki in Japan, or scholar stones in China) are naturally formed stones valued for their shape, color, beauty, pattern, and/or for what they can been seen to represent. Some collectors choose certain stones because they see in them natural scenes, such as scenic vistas or animals, or naturalistic imagery within the face of the stone.
After being collected, viewing stones are typically displayed on wooden stands (daiza); some stones are polished. When paired with bonsai, the viewing stone and bonsai tree each enhance the qualities of the other, and together, create a scene that might be found in nature. The practice of collecting and viewing stones originated in China about 2,000 years ago; it was introduced to Japan in the sixth century CE, and is now practiced worldwide.

「石像IX」是一个免费向公众开放的展览，展出由普吉特湾盆景协会岩石研究研究小组成员从华盛顿、加利福尼亚、新墨西哥和阿拉斯加收集的28块石头。之所以观赏，研究这些石头是自然形成的，他们的形状，颜色，美丽，图案使他们特别。有些收藏家选择某些石头是因为他们能在石头中看到自然景色，比如风景或动物，或石头表面的自然意象。
在被收集之后，观赏石通常被陈列在木架上(daiza)，有些石头经过抛光。当与盆景相搭配时，观景石和盆景树都提升了彼此的品质，共同创造了一些可能在自然界中找到的景象。收集和观赏石头的习俗起源于大约2000年前的中国；它在西元六世纪被引入日本，现在世界各地都在使用。
