To contact us Click HERE

 I am really enjoying watching Dexter...Season 7 in real time.  Ifinally broke down and added Showtime to my Cable channels.The above Long Beach house stood in for Ray Speltzer's house inEpisode 3.  It looked a lot less scary that it looked on the show.Ray is the gravedigger serial killer that picks up women andtakes them to his house which is set up like a maze.  He hunts themdown.  I think I've mentioned a couple times before that thewebsite SeeingStars.com has all the Dexter filming locations  byepisode and season.  I refer to it each time I watch the show. Thereare generally a couple of locations in each episode that I MUSTsee in person...and this house was one of them.

Portage Library to host events Nov. 29 - Dec. 1

To contact us Click HERE
HOUGHTON -- The Portage Lake District Library will host three family-friendly events this week -- a class on "Learning How to Use Twitter" and, for kids, a "Pirates Ahoy Adventure!" on Thursday, Nov. 29, and a Holiday Book Sale on Friday, Nov. 30, and Saturday, Dec. 1.

Learn to Use Twitter

The Portage Lake District Library and Michigan Technological University will present a special session of "Online at the Library: Learn to Use Twitter" from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 29.

Twitter is a way of communicating online in short bursts of text (140 characters or less). Twitter can be compared to sending a telegram over the internet. Messages can be sent to a particular person, people following one's twitter feed, or the whole world. The service has been used for conversation, self-promotion, public relations, politics and news.

Many people use Twitter to keep in contact with friends and family. Recently, Twitter has been in the headlines for its use during the U.S. presidential campaign and by both sides in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

This special session of Online at the Library is being presented by Leo Ureel, a graduate student at Michigan Technological University. Participants will learn the meaning of internet terms such as tweet, follow, and hash-tag. Everyone will create a Twitter account and send messages using the service.

Please let us know if you plan to attend by calling the Michigan Tech Computer Science Department at 487-2209. For more information, contact Leo Ureel at ureel@mtu.edu.

Need additional help using computers/technology? "Online at the Library" meets from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. every Friday at the Portage Lake District Library.

Library programs are free and everyone is welcome. For more information, please call the library at 482-4570 or visit www.pldl.org.

The Portage Lake District Library and the Copper Country Reading Council will co-host a "Pirates Ahoy Adventure!" from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 29, at the library.

All children Pre-K through Upper Elementary are invited to come dressed like a pirate and join the fun. Kids will go on a scavenger hunt throughout the library and search for pirate facts. They will also listen to pirate stories and create their own treasure map, draw a pirate scene or write their own pirate story on scrolls of paper. Participants will take home a small pirate treasure.

Library programs are free and everyone is invited. For more information, please call the library at 482-4570 or visit www.pldl.org.

Tech Theatre Company to present "Romancing Horror: Four Stories By H.P. Lovecraft!" Nov. 29 - Dec. 1

To contact us Click HERE
HOUGHTON -- The Tech Theatre Company will present "Romancing Horror: Four Stories By H.P. Lovecraft!" at 7:30 p.m., this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 29 to Dec. 1, in the McArdle Theatre on the Michigan Tech campus. Join the Tech Theatre Company as they present the literary works of H.P. Lovecraft, "devised" for the stage, in an original theatrical production!

Growing from the fertile soil of the romantics and the symbolist poets, HP Lovecraft surpassed his predecessor, Edgar Allen Poe, in perfecting the classic horror story. Since then, every horror film concocted in Hollywood, from the subtle and intrigue of Hitchcock to the evil of "Chucky," has followed Lovecraft's mystery mantra. In the sedate salon of their New England home, Professor Rodney C. Phillips, world authority on horror fiction, and his somewhat eccentric but charming wife, Edith Abigail, conjure theatrical life into Lovecraft's tales for their friends. Of course, there will be a surprise ending!

According to Director Roger Held, Chair, Department of Visual and Performing Arts, "'Devising' is the contemporary expression for the common theatrical practice of creating a performance from non-dramatic literature, or a script developed through the improvisations or written contributions of the actors. Such theatre pieces also provide design and performance challenges students don’t usually experience in educational theatre programs."

Tickets are $12.75/General Admission. Michigan Tech students are free. To purchase tickets, call 487-2073, click here to buy online at Rozsa, or visit Ticketing Operations at the SDC (Student Development Complex), 600 MacInnes Drive, in Houghton.

SDC box office hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday; 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday; and noon to 8 p.m., Sunday.
