For more information about John Reuben, visit his Web site at www.johnreuben.com. MercyMe MercyMe is a perfect example of a growing alternative rocky pop sound within the Christian music industry. Its new album, “Spoken For,” is an album of hope, unlike much of today’s music. The beginning of “The Change Inside Me” could easily be mis taken for the beginning of Bon Jovi’s “Always,” but it branches off into its own soft-rock beat to talk about God changing people into something new. Instead of writing poetic lyrics, MercyMe tends to get to the point. It is best known for the worship song “I Can Only Imagine,” and its members say they are more inter ested in leading their listeners to worship God than in breaking into the mainstream. “It’s not about us,” lead vocal ist Bart Millard said on the band’s Web site, www.mercyme.org. “Any time I can step away from the microphone ard listen to the body of Christ sing, I’ll do it. I’d rather hear that than hear myself sing any day of the week.” Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockmixeditor@hotmail.com Above: John Reuben has been rapping since Junior high.

Don’t delegate all of the details, either. Make sure you trigger the surprises. TAURUS You’re a practical person, so you have a good idea of how much you’ve spent. It wouldn’t hurt to know precisely, however. Prevent unpleasant anxiety. GEMINI There’s no point in arguing with a person who could be even partially right. Show how smart you really are by adopting the best parts of your opponent’s thesis. CANCER You could be making a great deal of sense, but nobody’s listening. This may be a lesson that they have to learn for themselves. LEO A loved one may be hard to convince unless you give a little. A compromise leads to a better solution than either of you imagined. VIRGO If you don’t understand an order you’re given, speak up. The same holds true if you simply won’t comply. Honesty is the best policy, even if it leads to a change. LIBRA We ’re in a phase when secrets are being revealed, and never more so than right now. A little sleuthing could uncover a treasure. SCORPIO Advise your friend not to reveal everything. You don’t want to give away your strategy, and you don’t want your friend to do that, either. SAGITTARIUS Your energy level is increasing, but you still need to be cautious. Don’t let your enthusiasm cause you to overlook an important detail. CAPRICORN An idea you’ve been mulling over could have merit. It involves a big change, but that’s not necessarily bad. Do what you can to prepare. If there is a change, it’ll come quickly. AQUARIUS Ask for advice from a person who’s blocking your plans. Ask for suggestions about what you should do next. It’s a sneaky trick, but it could work. PISCES An older, wiser person can direct you toward abundance. You might not get there for a while, but you’ll feel better once you know you’re on the right path.

The Shakespeare play was also adapted this sum mer into the TNT original movie titled “King of Texas.” Tim Donahue of marketing and development for Theatre South Carolina said having dou ble productions isn’t a new idea and that the theater enjoys the opportunity to fit another pro duction into its busy schedule. “We don’t do it every season, but it’s a special opportunity to get involved for both our faculty and our students,” he said. “We do it when the opportunity arises.” Donahue said that, later this season, graduate students in the master of fine arts program will put on small productions of some Shakespeare pieces to give them some more theater experience. Theatre South Carolina’s pro duction of “The Baby Dance” will begin Thursday with a perfor mance at 8 p.m. and will continue through Saturday in Longstreet Theatre. Saturday’s performance will also include a 3 p.m. matinee. Tickets are available at the door on the night of the performances. Admission is $5. Comments on this story?
