Walks and site visits:
Friday 22nd August 2014, 2-4 PM – Lyminge site visit
A tour of the site of this village-core project, directed by Dr Gabor Thomas, University of Reading has been organised. This is the final season of excavations on Tayne Field. This is an exciting site where in recent work a large and probably royal Saxon hall has been discovered. 1,300 years ago, an Anglo-Saxon monastery stood in the village of Lyminge, presided over by a royal abbess. Excavations are now showing that Lyminge was an important place before this, with evidence for a long sequence of Anglo-Saxon occupation extending back into the 5th century A.D.
We are still awaiting a map for directions and parking, but essentially parking is via the local village hall located very close to the dig. There are no restrictions on parking here as they are supporting the excavations and it keeps people away from street parking.
Saturday 23rd to Monday 25th August 2014 – Westgate Gardens, Canterbury, open days
Andrew Richardson has offered these dates for anyone who is interested to visit this community excavation on a Roman site. Please contact Andrew directly (tel: 01227 825276; mob: 07876 307681; email : firstname.lastname@example.com) for details.
Sunday 28th September 2014 from 11am to 4pm – Woking Palace Open Day
Guided tours of this year's excavations, the sixth season at Woking Palace, will take place between the times above. Information about the excavation can be found here: http://www.surreycc.gov.uk/recreation-heritage-and-culture/archaeology/community-archaeology/community-archaeology-news-and-events.

Knole Archaeology Lectures:
A note from Laura Ellis:
You may know that we are currently undergoing a £20m conservation project and as part of this there is a strong archaeological thread. To this end we are holding some key archaeological lectures to share some of the findings, particularly from our parkland.
Thursday 14 August, 7-8.30pm
Great Hall Lecture: From 'designed landscapes' to landscapes of work: understanding medieval sites in South-Eastern England
In the majestic surroundings of Knole's Great Hall this lecture, led by Professor Matthew Johnson of Northwestern University, hear the results of survey at four National Trust properties: Bodiam, Scotney, Ightham and Knole. Over four years a team of archaeologists from the University of Southampton (UK) and Northwestern University (USA) have worked in partnership with the National Trust to understand these places in terms of the medieval landscapes that surround them. The findings showed that in the Middle Ages, these places were not just military castles or pleasure palaces for the elite- they were also places of work for all classes.
Adult £10, Concession £8, Booking at www.nationaltrust.org.uk/knole or call 0844 249 1895

Major Publishing Event dedicated to the memory of Peter Drewett:
Archaeology and Landscape of South-East England to 1066 (eds Michael J Allen & David Rudling)
This is a new peer-reviewed book on archaeology of SE England, written by the recognised leading authorities in their field. It provides an overview and review of south-east England, allowing comparison with Sussex, Surrey and Kent (and the east Thames basin) which has rarely been achieved or attempted. It will also allow comparison within and between both the three counties, and the main topographic zones of Downs, Weald, Coastal Plain, River Valley and Thames Estuary.
The book will provide an informed narrative of an interpretation of the history of the south east and re-addresses, renews and re-evaluates the work and interpretations presented previously. It will be the new textbook for the South-East. As such we it hope provides a fitting tribute to the late Peter Drewett who inspired many in the current generation of archaeologists (professional and amateur) working in south-east England. Peter published a series of major excavations in Sussex and southern England 1974-82, and this book will be dedicated to Peter Drewett with great thanks, admiration and affection.
Book Launch:
Toby's 'Stairway to Heaven' reveals secrets of Kent churches
For more than ten years Dr Toby Huitson (pictured above) has been fascinated by what went on in the upper storeys of our medieval churches and cathedrals.
His curiosity led him up spiral staircases above towers, naves and chancels all over Kent and further afield and into mysterious lofts, galleries and passages that were used as, among other things, dovecotes, treasuries and libraries.
He has now published a book, 'Stairway to Heaven', in which he describes and illustrates his hundreds of discoveries.
'It all began as a doctoral thesis on ecclesiastical staircases, galleries and upper chambers, for which I was awarded my PhD in history,' said Toby, who is an assistant archivist at Canterbury Cathedral and a history lecturer at the University of Kent in Canterbury.
'Then, in 2009, it won the Kent Archaeological Society's £3,000 Hasted Prize for the best doctoral thesis on any aspect of the county's archaeology or history.
'I went on to carry out further research and develop the thesis into a full-length book, using most of the prize money to publish many of the 130 illustrations in colour.
'The original purposes of church upper spaces represent an unsolved mystery for generations of antiquarians, archaeologists and architectural historians. My book presents the evidence for over 35 different practical functions these hidden areas could have had'.
Among the unusual upper storeys Toby has found in Kent are the so-called 'Indulgence Chamber' at Rochester Cathedral (which may have been used as a muniment room for storing official documents); the 'Old Bakery' chamber at Canterbury Cathedral (a former Romanesque upper chapel, converted into a room for the Shrine Wardens around 1400 and used as a craftsmen's restoration workshop in the late 17th century); the so-called 'Watching Tower' at St Mary of Charity, Faversham, (used as a sexton's room in the early 16th century); and a blocked staircase to the lost upper chapel of St Blaise at Canterbury Cathedral (probably used for storing candles or documents).
The 'Indulgence Chamber' at Rochester Cathedral
View from the 'Old Bakery' chamber at Canterbury Cathedral
■'Stairway to Heaven' will be formally launched at the University of Kent this autumn (2014). It is published by Oxbow Books at £35 RRP and is available from www.oxbowbooks.com, www.amazon.co.uk and other outlets. Signed copies can be ordered direct from Toby Huitson (email firstname.lastname@example.com ) for £30 (cash payments, collection in person only).

Anytime is the perfect time for ice cream with the one you love! (Even when it's the coldest winter night of the month.)
My Puppy hates cherries, so I always get his along with mine whenever we go out for ice cream sundaes - yummm.
I love, love, love celebrating Chinese New Year. The food is to die for and you can't help but get drawn into that festive feeling when they have the lion dance!

Batman's first ever Batmobile wasn't actually all that special. He was first referenced driving in Detective Comics #27 in May 1939 – and so the legend was born. Although it was simply referred to as "his car" and was a boring old saloon, it soon began to gather more bat motifs and get rather more radical.

MOREAU, N.Y. – A mother accused of hiring strippers for her son's 16th birthday party appeared in Moreau Town Court on Thursday.
Judy Viger was offered a plea deal but her case was adjourned until November 7th.
The Moreau mother's attorney said she needed more time to consider a plea deal, although she has already rejected a number of plea deals in the past.
She's facing five misdemeanor counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child for allegedly hiring strippers for her son's 16th birthday party at a local bowling alley in November 2012.
Viger is accused of damaging the physical, mental or moral welfare of the children at that party by exposing them to strippers who performed lap dances.
If Thursday's plea deal was accepted, it would have resulted in the criminal charges being dropped if Viger stayed out of trouble for six months, took a parenting class and met other unspecified conditions.
The mother's attorney says his client hired the women to sing "Happy Birthday" to her son and his friends while wearing bikinis. The attorney maintains that Viger didn't intend to have the women perform.
While the case is adjourned for one week, a plea deal is still possible.
"I don't have any objection to her taking some time
to consider it. The judge allowed her to do so. It's up to the judge to give
her the additional time but certain,y if she doesn't take it in the near future
I think we would just ask for a trial date," said District Attorney Murphy.

Federer exacts Olympic revenge
Swiss wins in straight sets to stay on course for Nadal final
Last Updated: 13/08/08 5:08pm
Federer: Into quarters
Top seed Roger Federer exacted Olympic revenge on Tomas Berdych on Wednesday, four years after his Athens humiliation at the hands of the Czech.
The Swiss maestro was left in tears after his shock second-round exit in 2004 but made no mistake this time around.
He overcame breaks in each set to defeat his opponent 6-3 7-6 (7-4) to stay on course for an Olympic final with Rafael Nadal.
After serving out the first set with an ace, Federer then netted a backhand to go a break down in the second.
But he hit back in game five and dominated the tie-break, finishing it off with another ace and a service winner.
Welcoming his win, the Swiss said: "I'm very happy with the way I played. I haven't lost to him since the Olympic Games.
"He's always dangerous - you can see how hard he hits the ball."
Federer, who finished fourth in 2000, will now face James Blake in the quarter-finals after the US number one beat Gilles Simon 6-4 6-2.
Meanwhile, Nadal and Novak Djokovic are also into the quarters after the pair ended Russian involvement in the men's singles with straight-sets wins.
The Wimbledon champion saw off Igor Andreev 6-4 6-2 while Djokovic beat 13th seed Mikhail Youzhny 7-6 (7-3) 6-3.
Nadal broke Andreev at 3-3 and saved four break points when serving for the set with a series of unreturnable deliveries.
The setback clearly affected Andreev and Nadal then broke twice before taking the match with another big serve, making it four in a row against the 25-year-old.
The Spaniard is bidding for his eighth title this year after his fourth French Open crown and first Wimbledon win boosted his career trophy total to 30.
He is playing in his first Olympic singles tournament after appearing as a little-known doubles player four years ago in Athens.
Best level
"I'm playing close to my best level. I beat a very tough player today," said Nadal.
"My feeling is go on court and try to play my best tennis all the time."
The Spaniard's half of the draw has been eased by the exit of world number six Andy Murray, who was shocked in round one by Taiwan's Lu Yen-Hsun, while defending champion Nicolas Massu has also been eliminated.
Nadal will next meet Jurgen Melzer after the Austrian ended the giant-killing run of Lu 6-2, 6-4, while third-ranked Djokovic will play either seventh seed David Nalbandian or Gael Monfils for the prize of meeting the Spaniard in the semis.
In the other last eight meeting, Athens bronze-medallist Fernando Gonzalez and Paul Henri-Mathieu of France will play each other after wins against Olivier Rochus and Nicolas Kiefer respectively.

The perfect dress My husband and I are renewing our vows and at first I wanted a simple gown. Once I tried this dress on, I was hooked. It is equal mix of sophisticated and sexy! Alterations were needed, I am 5'7" and since I am not wearing shoes (beach ceremony) about 4 inches needed to be taken from the length. The tulle is puffy enough to make you feel like a princess, but the bodice will show off curves. Definitely recommend this dress! August 28, 2014
Perfect This dress is perfect! It has just the right amount of sparkle. I paired it with a floral sash in petal with a rhinestone embellishment and I love it! However it's perfect without the sash as well. I can't wait to wear this dress on my wedding day! July 25, 2014
LOOOOVE this Gown!!!! I wasn't very impressed with this dress on the hanger, and it was the last dress I tried on out of 8, but I figured it never hurts to try! As soon as I saw myself in this gown, the happy tears started flowing! This dress is very lightweight, and easy to move in. I can not wait to wear this on my wedding day!! July 24, 2014
Stunning and Affordable! I originally purchased a different dress for my August Beach wedding, I wanted to stay subtle and elegant for my intimate ceremony and I loved my first dress but I just felt like it was lacking something for the desired effect I ultimately wanted on my big day. So I browsed online and came across this dress and decided to make an appointment to try it on along with a few others and as soon as I slipped it on it captured me!!! The online photos don't do it justice! It's fits amazingly, hugs perfectly and makes you feel beautiful (and that's because I went in with minimal make up and took my hair down from a side braid) ! This dress is form fitting, classic, elegant, with just the perfect dash of sexiness that allows the dress to speak for itself along with a price you can't beat! I really wanted to knock my fianc�� off his feet and I'm confident this dress will do the trick! Im so excited for my wedding and to sport this little number! Hope this helps ladies happy hunting!

Not gonna reply to OOC-related messages on this one. Just so you know.
"We are fairly sure neither of those things should be green."
Nightmare Moon just stares at Reginald. A second passes, then two.
Then Nightmare Moon breaks out laughing at the unintentionally hilarious non-punchline.
Hippogriff's eyes brighten momentarily as he looks at immortal beauty of his Lady. "Yes, Your Majesty," he replies after a short pause, "I'd appreciate to be allowed to choose her lordship, Marquis Avenger, as my patron."
"Avenger?" Nightmare Moon looks confused for a moment. "Why?… Yes, of course you may."
"From this day forth, we commission you, Sir Vindicar of the Order of the Blackened Star, to go forth in the Avenger's memory, to right wrongs and avenge crimes, as she did in life."
Vindicar squints as Nightmare's horn touches his shoulders, arcane energies of her body giving him a considerable jolt. Yet, determined not to falter in her presense, hippogriff stands up. "Thank you…" he says, before adding a couple more words he hadn't addressed anyone with before.
"…my Queen."
"Now, as a knight, you shall have duties. Sir Starbuck, for instance, is assigned the role of keeping Prince Lunar's birthright safe until he comes of age.
In the first Order, a thousand years ago, Knights would often devote themselves to a particular person or place, or to defending against a particular sort of crime. Do any of these seem appealing to you?"
"No, We have not."
Nightmare Moon waits, hoping this is going somewhere. She hasn't had a good laugh in ages.
So many times hippogriff tried to play this scene in his imagination, yet when the moment has come, he had to gather his will to say the words that would set his fate in stone. He didn't know the exact nature of the oath, but he had right suspicions about it.
"I do," Vindicar has replied in even voice, not a trace of emotions on his face.
"Then, by Our divine and royal right as the True Queen of Equestria, We do hereby dub thee Sir Vindicar, Knight of the Military Order of the Blackened Star, with all rights, duties, and privileges due your station."
Nightmare Moon strikes him lightly on each shoulder with her horn. "You may rise."
"We are indeed. Let Us hear it."
Nightmare Moon rolls her eyes and sighs, but accepts the offered hug.
"Your species' biology continues to baffle Us. Do you feed somehow upon hugs?"
Hippogriff proceeds to kneel, the ends of his robes swiping the floor as he does so. Silently he waits, listening as immortal Queen approaches him.
"Vindicar, do you swear upon your life to serve Us and all ponykind, to uphold all just laws, to punish the guilty and protect the innocent, and to hold yourself pure in all matters of honour both public and private?"

Summits included en route:
Cross Fell 893 m
Nearest town Penrith
Terrain A farm track to start, and then a clear footpath joining with the Pennine Way for the final slightly soggy summit climb. In poor visibility cairns lead off the featureless summit plateau. The descent path is less well trodden and could be missed in places if it's misty.
Seasonal variations Its altitude and inland position give Cross Fell some of the coldest and snowiest conditions in England; not for nothing are the North Pennines known for their skiing. In wild winter weather the summit is a very unfriendly place and good navigation a must.
Weather and hill conditions mwis: Lake District

The highest summit in England outside the Lake District, Cross Fell has a magnetism born of sheer mass. This great big brute of a hill dominates Cumbria's Eden Valley, forming the focal point of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As the widest and bleakest expanse of peat-ridden emptiness south of the Scottish border, 'beauty' is very much in the eye of the beholder here, but the stark scale has its own unique attraction. For more see this www.ukhillwalking.com article. This fairly short circuit from Cross Fell's more accessible side gives a good flavour of the area, and on a clear day the views west to the Lakeland skyline are stunning.

Congratulations to ORPHEE DES BLINS in winning last year's Velka Pardubicka, the victory gives jockey Jan Faltesjek (who will be our guest speaker in 2013) his first victory in the race.
Richard Dunwoody MBE explained: "The Velka Pardubicka is a race that I look forward to every year and I've always tried to attend ever since my retirement from the saddle.
"There is a tremendous buzz before the race and it is one of the best spectacles in steeplechasing to watch the field streaming over the Taxis fence - it is a daunting and unique course and one of the most demanding steeplechases in the world.
"It really is a race that you've just got to go and see for yourself and to soak up the atmosphere at the racecourse - there isn't anything to compare it with. It is great racing and a fantastic weekend."

"...We had a fabulous morning, thoroughly enjoyed it and very interesting! We felt the experience was very personal and very informal, but informative which was really nice. The surroundings are beautiful and yourself, Kim, his wife and Kerry were all very hospitable and very friendly. A lovely experience and a birthday gift that Nigel will remember." Christine - Breakfast with Kim Bailey - March 2014.
"...Mark and I had a lovely morning with Scott. The whole team were friendly and welcoming and we were treated to a delicious breakfast. We were taken around the stables and onto the gallops to see their horses in action and Scott kept us entertained with stories of the racing world. We were particularly impressed with his knowledge and enthusiasm which we found quite infectious. On a personal note, I fell a little bit in love with Sir Geoffrey! Overall, our children couldn't have picked a better birthday present for Mark. I'd also like to thank you for the lovely way the gift was presented and your prompt and friendly service.I have no hesitation in recommending this tour ," Karen - Breakfast with Scott Dixon - March 2014.
"...the morning with Brendan and his team (inc. Buster) can only be described as "Absoluetly fantastic and amazing".It's the best birthday present I've ever had.

Karen - Breakfast with Brendan Powell - March 2014.
"...Jamie thoroughly enjoyed his time with James and his team.

Please pass on his thanks to the team - particularly James, and also Jo in the office." Richard - Breakfast with James Ewart March 2014.

"...we had a fabulous time touring the stables with Kim and hearing stories of each of the horses and the workings of running the stables. It was mind blowing seeing the work and dedication from the team to keep everything running in a very professional and relaxed manner. It was also a bonus to meet Sam Thomas, who was there to ride some of the horses out on the gallops. The morning finished off with a well received hearty breakfast – many thanks to Kim's wife Clare. I would highly recommend the tour to any racing enthusiastic. We enjoyed it so much we would like to do it all over again..." Sandy - Breakfast with Kim Bailey - January 2014

Rosaleen - Breakfast with Kim Bailey - September 2013.
"...I had this fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable tour of Kim's stables bought for me as a present from my wife. The morning started with a guided tour of the stables by Kim and his assistant trainer Matt, followed by a walk up to the (very steep) gallops to watch his second lot work. We were talked through the potential and future hopes for each horse before retiring for a lovely cooked fry up by Kim's wife, Clare. Over breakfast we were able to pick Kim and Clare's brains about the workings of a successful stable. A wonderful few hours and a must for any serious racing fan..." Steffan - Breakfast with Kim Bailey - September 2013.
"...Brendan and his team were so friendly, helpful, and informative. We really felt like one of the family. They answered all our questions of which there were many.

Brendan, his family and team made us feel very welcome the moment we got to the yard, we felt like we had known them all years, especially Brendan, very down to earth and we had his full attention and time. Breakfast was fab, taken with the stable staff on their break! Fab! We were looked after from minute we arrived to minute we left..." Tracy - Breakfast with Brendan Powell - September 2013.

"...my stable visit was excellent and very informative, Kim was an excellent host as were his wife and staff. I was very impressed with how attentive and friendly Kim was, and how he made me feel at ease. He talked me through all the horses he has stabled in the yard one-by-one then took me up to the gallops for first and second lot. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in horse racing, I had a thoroughly enjoyable morning..." Ian - Breakfast with Kim Bailey - April 2013.
"...just to say we had an amazing time with Brendan and his team. Brendan was so welcoming and friendly as were all his staff.

We would thoroughly recommend this day to anybody with an interest in horse-racing. Thank you again," Robert and Gaby - Breakfast with Brendan Powell - April 2013.
"...we have all just had the most fantastic time, I have followed racing as man and boy for over 60 years and must say this visit was up there with my most memorable racing experiences. Brendan was nothing less than fantastic spending over three hours with us even though he had 10 runners at Lingfield that day. Thank you once again for organising this very special visit to a very special trainer and man..." Geoff - Breakfast with Brendan Powell - January 2013.
"...just a short note to say how much we enjoyed our tour of Craig Farm stables. The initial welcome from James on our arrival and the overall friendliness of all your stable staff ensured we enjoyed our entire visit from start to finish. The informative tour which took us through all aspects of your training operation (tack room, feeding regime, housekeeping of boxes, etc.) allowed us to get a first-hand insight of how an ambitious, hardworking stable operates and the care and attention to detail required to be successful. Highlights of the day for us were firstly, getting to see all the horses in the yard in their box and getting the lowdown from James on their progress to date and his expectations for the season. Secondly, getting to watch (at close proximity) a couple of lots working on the gallops. And lastly but not least, the wonderful breakfast laid on for us by James' mother. The hospitality was second to none. The passion and commitment that you guys have for your business clearly shone through and will not doubt go a long way to ensuring you make your dreams happen – which, as you clearly demonstrated, is why you do this job in the first place. We would certainly love to visit again in the future. Thanks again," Maxwell and George - Breakfast with James Ewart - November 2012.
"... just a quick line to say how much I enjoyed my morning on the gallops which exceeded my expectations. I got a real insight into the workings of a racing stable through the the walk up to the top of the gallop (steep), the exercising of the horses, tour of the stables and viewing of the practice fences and hurdles. Add a really good breakfast, including a glass of champagne, all in the company of Kim..." Derek - Breakfast with Kim Bailey - May 2012.
The Velka Pardubicka is a major event in the Czech social calendar and was first run in 1874.
The cross-country course comprises a spectacular mix of banks, hedges and ditches, which includes the daunting and infamous Taxis fence – jumped only once every year – and is run over a distance of four miles two-and-a-half furlongs.
The race always attracts a strong British and Irish challenge with Charlie Mann the last successful challenger in 1995, training and riding the winner It's A Snip
Never has the phrase 'horses for courses' been more apt, as the race has produced many multiple winners.
Maskul, bred by the Maktoum family at Shadwell Stud, won in 2002 and 2005, the mare Registana gained back-to-back successes in 2003 and 2004, then another mare Sixteen won in 2007 and 2008.
In 2011 the 10-year-old Tiumen, trained and ridden by the legendary Josef Vana sr, retained his crown again and joined the very select list of triple winners. The 58-year-old produced the winner on the run-in to thwart stable-mate Sixteen (Josef Bartos) inside the dying strides and so register an historic success.
Vana's victory was an amazing eighth as a jockey and ninth as a trainer.

Hilarious celebrity reactions to the iOS 7.0 upgrade
The new Apple iOS 7.0 update featured a beautiful new design and contained hundreds of new features. But not everyone felt the same way about it... Here are some of Hollywood's most candid reactions to the new iOS7 download:
1. Miley Cyrus, absolute selfie aficionado, learned that the iOS7 camera app is available in just ONE smooth swipe
2. ...while Nicki Minaj couldn't even work out how to use the camera
3. Justin Bieber was regretfully informed that Apple STILL have not developed that Bieb-yourself app he requested months ago
4. But Emma Stone didn't care, because she JUST GOT HER FIRST iPHONE!!!
5. Zac Efron liked the sound of new Siri. A lot.
6. But Britney Spears just couldn't get her head around the new interface...
7. ...Taylor Lautner couldn't belieeeve that his iPhone 4 now runs a little slower with the new upgrade...
8. ...Leonardo DiCaprio JUST realized what everyone has been talking about for the past month...
9. ...And poor old Nicolas Cage was just mesmerized by the pretty colors of the new app icons
10. Whereas Charlie Sheen? He don't need no iOS7 upgrade. There's no interface system more colorful and complicated in the world that the Charlie Sheen brain interface system.

Simply, in thirty-five years of going to the theatre this was the worst play I have ever seen. Twenty minutes into the play I was wondering which direction it was going. By the end of the first Act, I hoped the closing appearance of Jennifer Tilly would add life to the play - it didn't. I found listening to Wallace Shawn talk in great detail of his sexual appetite with a cat when he has a half naked Jennifer Tilley at home, bizarre. Throughout the second act my eyes kept moving roaming toward my watch with greater frequency as I awaited my escape after the second act. What a waste of Julie Hagerty and Ms. Tilly's talents. It is sad. I was looking forward to seeing this cast perform, only to be disappointed by a poor story line. What a shame.

Unlike The Designated Mourner, which was mesmerizing throughout, Grasses gets off to a strong start and then feels like it will never, ever end. Do yourself a favor and just go for the first act; the second and third acts only undermine the effectiveness of the first. Yes, you will miss the bizarre cat pornography, but that stuff is merely tedious. There is no playwright quite like Wallace Shawn, but in the case of this play, less is more.

We didn't experience the gratification that Mr. Brantley or Mr. Lucas did. To us, this was less a powerful play about a mad scientist who masturbated a lot while attempting to solve world hunger, than an overblown, masturbatory play which fooled some audience members into believing they were witnessing great theater. I am not a prude. I saw "Puppetry of the Penis." But this long-winded, hallucinatory nightmare failed to impress, including the performances. I remember Julie Hagerty and her little girl voice from "Airplane," but why would a mature actress playing a mysterious and possibly powerful woman use that same babyish tone? I was sitting in the first row and couldn't understand her! (Full disclosure: I am hearing impaired, but have excellent hearing aids.) Was this Mr. Gregory's choice? Then there was the surreal "snack" offered duringt the second intermission, which I was eager to try, hoping it might be more appetizing than what I had just heard and seen. The "spread" at the table offered a few raw almonds on dainty paper plates, tasty foil-wrapped Lindor chocolates(I took two--one for EGR), a quarter inch of Gatorade in tiny silver and gold plastic cups, and peeled hard boiled eggs just lying there. Did I miss some symbolism? I did understand the grass references throughout the play, but then Mr. Shawn does not seem to know the difference between "sperm" and "semen," a distinction his scientist character would have noted--and corrected. Or was that more symbolism? Mr. Shawn has stated that he wanted to break through his subconscious with this play, but I think the journey was likely more satisfying to him than to audience members. And why couldn't they find a meadow with real or fake buttercups to film? But kick yourselves if you missed Craig Lucas's masterful libretto at the Met's production of Muhly's "Two Boys." Now that was theater: fully developed characters with believable dialog in a riveting story. Bravo Mr. Lucas.

First of all I want to say that I really like Shawn's humor and writing. Grasses of a Thousand Colors is indeed a cautionary fairytale touching on a lot of reality. It may be a cautionary nightmare. If you pay close attention, you'll notice the hints Mr. Shawn skillfully drops of what's to come. The production looks and sounds great and all of the acting is sterling. Mr. Shawn is a wonderfully awful Ben, the ultimate narcissistic. During the play I couldn't stop thinking of the many men I've encountered over the years that, like Ben have their deepest relationships with their own penises. As Mr. Brantley points out, many of these men walk among us and are often powerful and charming, but woe to anyone who attempts an actual relationship with any of them. I can't say that I loved this play, it seemed a tad windy to me, but I won't soon forget it. I don't soon forget any Wallace Shawn play.

I have seen several of Wallace Shawn's plays and never really enjoyed any on them. I respect his skill at creating a special world and this play does eventually get to an emotionally satisfying conclusion. But the journey is very very very long and filled with far too may rambling, self-satisfied monologues. The production is splendid -- understated but apt design, brilliant video, outstanding cast. My only objection would be the cramped seating. Shawn fans will not be disappointed. Others should be warned that the explicit language includes not only lots of sex but also lots of violence; there's no blood in view, but the descriptions are vivid and specific.

I can take pretentious , I can take boring, I can take contrived, I can even take much too long but when i experience all these ingredients in one evening of theatre going and then read a review such as this I begin to :wonder whose misjudgment is more misguided , the playwright's or the critic's?

October 30th, 201310:15 am
just a quibble-- the play on words is not worth confusinfg a past evolutionary form (H. erectus) with Shawn's Homo sapien. Maybe we need to add: Homo sadistian, Homo erotican and Homo shlepian.

Three hours of thy sexual, mastubatory,
Fantasies with women and cats,
Too much for a working man.
Can we not freeze you in time,
Please be a Sicilian boss named Vizzini,
Obstacle to the savior of
The Princess Bride.
I know that you know that i know that you know
That 1987 was a crash year, but your raspy
Glare, minutiae of a face expressive made it easier.
At the Public, not in the private,
Tales of sexual escapism make
Drift to sleep, and I know
That you know that I know that you know
I am asleep in in row B center,
And see you weep.
But the play must go on...
Which is why I will rent a memory
Tonite, a you, Vizzini, and me,
Will drink a cup of poison,
In celebration of the trajectory of our
Mastubatory writings.

This play is apocalyptic, surreal and, in its descriptions of sex acts and body parts, highly sexual even without any onstage grappling or nudity, so make sure you're at least relatively all right with that before you go. (Whatever you do, don't bring your fifteen-year-old daughter who liked Shawn in The Princess Bride, as the people behind me did!) The acting is delicious--I'd single out the raspy-voiced, decolletage-flaunting Meg Tilly, but really, everyone was equally good, and Andre Gregory's staging was wonderfully inventive; a big white sofa and plain wooden walls turn out to be very versatile. The play itself is simply longer than it needs to be--3 full hours, with a couple of short breaks; it would be more effective if cut. But Wallace Shawn's dialogue is almost always engaging in its strangeness and dark humor--there's no one else like him, so it's worth cutting him some slack.

He didn't forget. He even mentioned the Gilneas stuff before he went on his idea. He has just about as any right to speculate as you do on what might be the story behind it.
Besides, there are sources for Worgen beyond Arugal. The Scythe of Elune, for example.
If it's true that both the Emerald Dream and the Maelstrom are in the next expansion, then the Worgen could be creatures of a world like the Emerald Dream...or even the Emerald Dream itself. [their "big bad" is the Emerald Flame, after all]
And if it's just the Maelstrom next expansion, then the Arugal Worgen could have reason to expose themselves because of what the naga are doing to their coastline in Gilneas. Either way, the Emerald Dream explanation would help with their ties with the Alliance, as the good king Varian doesn't seem to be one who would enjoy having such company unless a group in the Alliance already supports them.
Which means that either A: The Gilneas Worgen aren't the Worgen we're looking for as a playable race, or B: the Scythe of Elune is completely unrelated.
Which seems a bit too odd for me. The Scythe of Elune seems to be the perfect way to bring the Worgen into this world. The real ones, not the ones that were once humans.
All I do know is that the Worgen have only two solid possibilities for existence in Azeroth: The Worgen of Gilneas, and the Worgen that are called by the Scythe of Elune.
Which means that his explanation on the Emerald Dream is definitely a possibility. Is it the possibility that Blizzard would go with? Well, it's hard to say what they'll go with. However, there is potential. Heck, any reason to go back to Karazhan and the areas around it would be great for me.
Good point. I can definitely see the Gilnean Worgen going to look for the Scythe in hopes that it can reverse them or something. But I honestly think the Gilnean worgen have nothing to do with the Scythe of Elune. If you recall, the worgen of Silverpine were summoned by the magic of Archmage Arugal, this summoning had absolutely nothing to do with Elune. Yes, Elune provided Velinde Starsong with the Scythe, but that scythe never even made it anywhere near Arugal or Silverpine. While Velinde Starsong did have something to do with the Worgen, she had nothing to do with the infection of the Gilnean Worgen, Rather she probably is seen as the only way to reverse the curse.
As there is Absolutely no Lore whatsoever pointing to there being any worgen in Gilneas aside from a few kids saying "Wow, There's worgen near there so everyone must be worgen near there. The Greymane wall has been shut since before Arugal started experimenting with Worgen.
Even if we do run by this random mass speculation model; why are there no Worgen in Ambermill? It's is closer to Arugal and has no Giant Wall/magic Barrier. Also, wouldn't he more likely to take his vengeance against the Kirin tor who cast him out rather than some random nation hes probably never visited.
Dozens of times?
Hardly; Only once has Blizz talked about Gilneas in recent times; And all Metzen said was that they had some interesting plans for Gilneas at this point in time. Thats it.
How can that -MUST- mean that worgen will be a new playable race in Gilneas? Lorewise there is no evidence and interesting plans could mean any number of things.
