Jennifer Lopez Gets Real
Among the certainties in this life are we're all going to die, we have to pay taxes, and we should never write off a force of nature like Jennifer Lopez. Following her sizzling stint as a Fly Girl on the sketch-comedy show In Living Color, Lopez spent more than a decade as an in-demand star in hit films such as Selena, Out of Sight, and The Wedding Planner. She diversified her appeal with a string of albums that produced hits like "Love Don't Cost a Thing" and "Jenny From the Block." Yet last year her highly anticipated romantic comedy The Back-up Plan was released to disappointing box office and Lopez's single "Louboutins" failed to garner airplay and she was reportedly dropped from her label, Epic.
But you can't keep a good Latina down. Lopez, parent to twins with her husband, entertainer Marc Anthony, has stepped into one of the vacant judging spots on the TV juggernaut American Idol. Last week Lopez debuted the video for her latest single, "On the Floor," on the show and saw the catchy song (just try not to hum along to Lopez's sample of the '80s hit "The Lambada") catapult to the top of the iTunes charts in the U.S. and nine other countries. Her next album, Love, is due this spring. While judging the competition series, Lopez, usually composed and unflappable, demonstrated a more emotional side than fans had previously seen when she was forced to eliminate Chris Medina, a fan favorite who was caring for a disabled wife. Lopez broke down in tears, as did many viewers.
Lopez discusses her chart-topping single "On the Floor," the softer side she's presented while judging on television, and whether an openly gay contestant can win American Idol.
The Advocate: Congratulations on your new single, "On the Floor," becoming such a massive hit. But you'll also be impressed to know that it's currently my favorite workout song.
Jennifer Lopez: Honestly? That is so cool. We work out to the songs that we love.
Why do you think people are responding so favorably to the song?
I think "On the Floor" captures a feeling. It either hits home in your heart or it captures an energy that's undeniable. There're certain elements of this record that are very me — there's an urban feel to the chorus, and the hip-hop that Pitbull brings to the verse, and there's the melody. It takes you on a ride. Plus RedOne's beats these days are undeniable. I'm so happy I got to work with him on this.
The singles you released last year didn't do as well as expected, so how gratifying is it to see "On the Floor" hit the top of the charts around the world?
It's awesome when you put out a record and people like it and you hear it on the radio for the first time. Those are the experiences that never get old.
What's been the toughest part of judging American Idol?
I knew I was going to have a great time. For the most part it's a lot of laughs and great performances, but you go on this journey with these contestants, these kids who have so much riding on this. All their hopes and dreams are invested. I'm finding it harder to say goodbye to them and tell them they didn't make it.
When you broke down and cried over having to eliminate Chris Medina two weeks ago, viewers saw a softer side of you.
Yeah, that was more of a surprise than I expected it to be. I'm an emotional person, but I've been in the public eye for so long that that I've always had to keep my composure, so breaking down in public isn't something that people have seen from me. This is the first time I'm doing something like this. I've always had a song or lines in a movie, but this is the first time you're really seeing me and seeing who I am for real. That's fun for me.
If you were just beginning your career, which song would you use to audition for American Idol?
[Laughs] That's funny. Let's see. Back in the day I used to audition with "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" by Whitney Houston. I think I would do what I tell the kids to do, which is find something that really suits me and my style and go with that.
You've conquered film, music, and now television for the second time. Can fans expect to see you on Broadway in the future?
Yes! I started my career by touring with musicals. I loved musicals. I don't know if I'd do a straight play on Broadway, but I'd love to do a musical. It's funny that you ask that, because there is something that Marc and I have been talking about doing, but I can't say what it is. [Laughs]
When can we expect to see you on the big screen again?
There are a few things I'm looking at right now. I think I want to either do a drama or a musical for my next film. I do eventually want to make another romantic comedy, but I'm in a position where I don't have to make another film right now. I have the record coming and I'll be in music land for while, so I'll wait for the right script with the right director and the right part for me. I want a part that I can really sink my teeth into.
You're now a spokeswoman for the Boys and Girls Club of America. Why is this organization important to you?
I grew up in the Boys and Girls Club. They had a great dance program, and it was one of the few places in the Bronx that had a pool. It was a safe place for kids to go. It offers all kinds of activities. It's where I had my first real dance teacher and where I started dreaming and thinking about doing this as a career back when I was 13 or 14 years old. It really does cultivate dreams. It was a real honor when Denzel [Washington, the group's longtime official spokesman] called and asked me to be involved.

We Crown the 2014 Kicks On Court Champion
It's that time again, folks. After stating the cases of our six nominees - Terrence Ross, Nick Young, Tony Wroten, DeMarcus Cousins, Monta Ellis and P.J. Tucker - we're now ready to crown our 2014 Kicks On Court Champion.
Cast Your Vote for the 2014 Kicks On Court Champion
Last week, we concluded the series highlighting the 2014 Kicks On Court Champion nominees. P.J. Tucker and Nick Young garnered an abundance of interest with their Nike Kobe debuts, while the latter also brought out Nike LeBron and Air Jordan gems. Monta Ellis, Terrence Ross and Tony Wroten kept it consistent throughout the season with notable kicks, and DeMarcus Cousins became the first ever big man to compete in the race. On June 13th, this Friday, we will announce the winner of the 2014 Kicks On Court Champion award by way of our latest Kicks On Court Weekly Recap. Before the announcement, let us know your choice for this season's winner by placing your vote in the poll on the last page.
Tony Wroten's Case for 2014 Kicks On Court Champion
Tony Wroten was primed for an intriguing season from a Kicks On Court standpoint. After finishing his tenure with the Memphis Grizzlies last season by wearing various retro Jordans and vintage Nike Basketball notables in limited playing time, the 6'4" guard signed with the Philadelphia 76ers in the offseason. With this move, two things would immediately help Wroten's case for the 2014 Kicks On Court Champion award before he even stepped foot on the court: more playing time to showcase his on-court rotation and new team colors that match a wider array of sneakers. Wroten set the tone early by opening up the 2013-2014 NBA season in a customized Air Jordan 12 by Mache. He also brought out the 11-year-old Nike Air Foamposite Pro Red/Black, the Air Jordan 5 3Lab5 and took to the court in the "French Blue" Air Jordan - in addition to many other retro Jordans - in the first month of the season. "I feel like if I look good, then I play good," says Wroten. "I'm a big believer in that, and I also hate wearing the same shoe twice, so that's why I constantly switched it up." Not only did he not repeat shoes often, but he also made it a point to wear Air Jordans that we rarely see on court. Silhouettes, such as the Air Jordan XVIII, the Air Jordan XIX and the Air Jordan XX1 returned to the hardwood, regularly, thanks to Philadelphia's southpaw. "Tony Wroten wears some extreme heat on court, man" says Phoenix Suns forward and fellow Kicks On Court Champion nominee P.J. Tucker. "I really like seeing what Tony wears because he brings a lot of the older models you rarely see to the court and he always comes with something different." Nick Young echoes Tucker's sentiment: "I really think Tony Wroten came with some pure heat that you don't see a lot." After the first month of the season, Wroten was undoubtedly the favorite to win the 2014 Kicks On Court Champion award, considering he made big impressions in all five categories: NIKEiD/PE/Custom, Element of Surprise, Closet Appeal, Variety and Sneaker Debuts. Check out his full Kicks On Court resume, and let us know if he is still the favorite.
Michael Jordan Apologized to Tony Wroten After Sole Blowout
Last weekend, Tony Wroten had the sole from his White/Varsity-Red Steel Air Jordan 10s blowout in a game against the Pacers. The sole from the 2005 retro release came completely detached from the upper during the fourth quarter of the game (see the video below), with Wroten exiting the game to switch into a pair of "Playoff" Air Jordan 11s. The situation was definitely a bummer for the 2014 Kicks On Court Champ contender, but it does have a silver lining. Delaware Online reported the following quote on the occurrence: "It was more embarrassing than anything," Wroten said Wednesday. "But things happen. I got an apology from Jordan. Yeah. … He called my agent." Perhaps Money will send Tony some new kicks? We hope so. Tune into Kicks On Court to see what Wroten rocks next.
Kicks On Court: Tony Wroten Rotates Retros
Is Tony Wroten the front-runner for 2014 Kicks On Court Champ? He just might be. Throughout the season, Wroten has rocked an array of retros and even brought out some choice customs. Over the weekend, the Sixers went back-to-back in Philly, hosting the Pacers and the Grizzlies. Against Indy, Wroten started the game in the White/Red-Steel colorway of the Air Jordan 10 from 2005. Midway through the fourth quarter, the nine-year old retros gave way as the sole came completely detached from the upper. Wroten ran the to the locker room and returned in "Playoff" Air Jordan 11s, switching to the "Carmine" Air Jordan 6s for the next night against Memphis. See the sneaker highlights from this weekend's NBA action in today's installment of Kicks On Court.
Kicks On Court: Tony Wroten Wears "University Red" Nike Air Veer
Training shoes may not be ideal on the hardwood, but that hasn't stopped players from wearing the all-purpose shoes on court. Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas once wore the Nike Air Trainer Classic, Amar'e Stoudemire wore Huarache Trainers for a year straight, and just last year, Brandon Jennings wore the Under Armour Cam Highlight, Cam Newtwon's signature shoe. Even LeBron James sported Trainers on court. Seeing training shoes being worn on court, therefore, shouldn't come as a surprise any longer.
Kicks On Court: Tony Wroten Rocks Air Jordan 2, Nick Young Wears 'Stadium Grey' Kobe 8 iD
Two of the Top Kicks On Court Champion nominees this season had stellar games last night in wins for their respective ball clubs. With Michael Carter-Williams back in the rotation, 76ers guard Tony Wroten returned to his bench role but proved to be just a productive as he was in his starting position. The former Washington Husky dropped 19 points while wearing the Air Jordan 2 White/Varsity Red via the Air Jordan 2/21 Countdown Package from 2008. This marks the first time we've seen the Air Jordan 2 on court since Quentin Richardson laced up his Air Jordan 2 "Knicks" PE in the first round the of the 2013 NBA Playoffs. As for Nick Young, he recorded 25 points and four assists off the Lakers' bench in a Nike Kobe 8 'Stadium Grey' iD. In addition to the Stadium Grey upper, Young's iDs also feature a Court Purple heel clip and Tour Yellow accents, including the midsole, lining and laces. Young has now worn eight different Kobe 8 iDs this season. View these kicks on court, plus Monta Ellis' Air Jordan 13s and Paul George's CP3.VIIs, below.
Kicks On Court: Tony Wroten Laces Up Air Jordan 18 & The Glove
Is Tony Wroten the early front-runner for Kicks On Court Champion? The season is only eight games in, but Wroten has already managed to lace up "French Blue" 12s, a brand new Mache Custom and "Toro Bravo" 5s. Last night for Philly's Veterans Day hosting of the Spurs, Wroten laced up two classics that are almost laceless. The Sixers two-guard doubled up on signature sneakers, rocking the shroud sporting OG Air Jordan 18 White/Red, before zipping down the Nike Air Zoom Flight The Glove. While Wroten impressed, the reigning champ Derrick Williams looked to keep his belt and keep his word of "no retros" by breaking out a lux Kobe. PEs, iDs and retros were all on display last night, so let us know who brought the best heat to the hardwood in this edition of Kicks On Court.

powered by AFI
The five principal actors in The Naked Spur, all of whose names appear above the title in the opening credits, are the only characters in the film, aside from non-speaking extras. The screenplay of The Naked Spur was later adapted as a novel by Allan Ullman (New York, 1953). According to a New York Times news item, Ullman believed that the $5,000 bounty on "Ben Vandergroat" was unrealistically high. His research indicated that the top bounty paid for killers in 1868 was about $800, so he reduced the reward to $1,500 in the novel. A February 1952 item in the "Rambling Reporter" column in Hollywood Reporter stated that M-G-M originally sought Richard Widmark for the role of Ben, and that Robert Horton had been cast in the part. Robert Ryan was borrowed from RKO for this production.
The film was shot on location in Durango, CO. According to information in the file on the film in the MPAA/PCA Collection at AMPAS Library, The Naked Spur was banned in India. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Story and Screenplay. Many modern sources credit The Naked Spur (as well as Anthony Mann's other Westerns) with helping to redefine the genre, citing its dark psychological themes and dramatic use of open landscapes.

Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum has just said that the UAE will overcome the financial crisis soon, and describing the crisis as "a passing cloud that will not stay longer despite pessimistic speculations and analyses by economists and financial experts."
But in the meantime, the slowdown seems to be having an impact on Ramadan this year. While 15 percent of our respondents said that their iftar table is smaller this year because of the global recession, another 44 percent said that they have not been invited to many corporate iftars this year.
A recent report published in the Wall Street Journal claimed that the number of corporate iftars in Dubai have declined this year because of the effect of the global financial crisis. Firms in the city are cutting costs allocated to host events, and demand for Ramadan tents has fallen.
"Those companies that are still reserving tents are looking for some of the cheapest options," Shakhil Ahmed, the owner of Sharjah-based Al Mumtaz Tents, which makes and rents Ramadan tents, told the paper. He also said that business had fallen by almost a quarter this year.
An event organizer told the paper that the cost for a company to hire an entire Ramadan tent for an evening at one of Dubai's top hotels, including food, drinks and service is AED50,000 for up to 200 people.
According to reports, hotels in the city are also offering discounts up to 25 percent on iftars and suhoors in order to improve business.
Olivier Heuchenne, general manager of The Palace Hotel in Downtown Burj Dubai, told Maktoob Business that he expects bookings in the hotel to fall by 5 to 10 percent from last year.
"It is clear that companies are carefully watching their expenses with business events. Some established companies still aim to maintain high standards and are not focusing on lower prices, but ensuring they get true value for their money," he added.
However, around 41 percent of our respondents feel that the financial crisis has nothing to with Ramadan, and that they are completely unrelated.

My husband is starting a blog for a business organization - something he thinks will lead to better business opportunities for him. BUT it's completely voluntary, his initiative, and no guarantee it will do anything.
He just got the green light today AND they want him to come interview a bunch of business people in Boston (we live in PA) for two days when I'm 37.5 weeks. My husband is a saint. Truly. BUT, even while recognizing that, I'm already fat, hot, tired, crabby....and we have two boys already (4 & 2) who have seemed EXTRA insane lately.
How would YOU feel? I know I should be supportive. But I'm not feeling it. Please either slam me or give me your pity - either one will accomplish something (either making me feel justified or giving me the kick I need to feign excitement for him!)

Jackson School Road (Grant to Evergreen)
Jackson School Road between Grant Street and Evergreen Road serves as a north-south link between downtown Hillsboro and Highway 26. Jackson School is currently a two-lane roadway with intermittent sidewalks, limited roadway lighting and no bicycle facilities.
This project will improve the existing road to one travel lane in each direction with a continuous center turn lane, bicycle lanes, sidewalks, planter strips, an upgraded storm system and street lighting - matching up to the existing section near Evergreen Road. The project will also improve the creek/drainage crossing between Rogahn Street and Evergreen Road.
This section of Jackson School Road is under the jurisdiction of the City of Hillsboro and will be managed by City staff.

|Reviews for Gray
| Arik Novak chapter 1 . 9/19/2014
I really liked this. The level of abuse was canonical (not usual, that a story is written to be both canonical and heartbreaking), but it seemed strange that Harry would become so talkative/friendly so quickly. I loved the very end. Just loved it. I do wonder though if the "decent human being again" would have been better as something else, like 'brutally honest,' or something. I guess to me, a decent human being wouldn't be defined by the decision to kill Harry, whereas such a decision would define him as brutally honest, loyal to Dumbledore, working for the greater good, etc. I'm not sure what exactly would be better, because I know what you have is better than anything I'm coming up with, but I think there is yet something better. Anyway, thank you for the story!

"Obliviate." Brilliant. I love this fic!
| Johanni93 chapter 1 . 2/10/2014
Oh Merlin, this story is amazing! Loved how you've portrayed Sev and the interaction between him and Harry... brilliant! I'm kind of sad because of the ending though, which was quite unexpected but great nevertheless. Wished there was more to this awesomeness... Is there any chance for a sequel?
Anyway, thanks for sharing your marvelous story with us!

| Eki chapter 1 . 4/15/2012
| A.KayIsAPenName chapter 1 . 7/11/2011
Wow...just...wow. This story was amazing, and I loved that it could have fit easily into the cannon Order of the Pheonix! Would it be okay with you if I featured it on my new community, The Bee's Knees? I would really like for this one to be included because I think it is a truly excellent story that deserves a bit of love :)
Have a nice day!
| Sophie chapter 1 . 7/10/2011
Can I please ask you to summarise the story ending, becuase I don't completely understand it. However I think its good that snape and harry can joke and that harry gets that dumbledore cares. I also like that harry found out about the prophecy this way - it was a good idea. I also like that snape got to see the dursleys memory becuase it proves that harry wasn't spoiled. Anyway what I understand is really good, please can you try and explain the ending to me? 3
| oakleaf chapter 1 . 12/30/2010

British Library Sound Archives Go Digital
The British Library is home to one of the largest sound archives in the world. As of the 31 January 2012, they have presented over 50,000 recordings and their associated documentation from the Library's extensive collections of unique sound recordings which come from all over the world and address a huge range of recorded sounds, digitally: drama and literature, oral history, wildlife and environmental sounds and, most importantly to us at World Music Network, hundreds upond thousands of musical cultures.
Hundreds of recordings have now become available online digitally as of 31 January 2012. The selection available comes from the 3.5 million sounds held in the British Library. You can search and browse the entire collection with the sound archive catalogue.
The original selections were made during the Archival Sound Recordings (ASR) project that ran from 2004 to 2009 and which was funded by the JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) under its Digitisation Programme. British Library Sounds is the new name for Archival Sound Recordings.
The British Library is making these collections of ethnographic available for non-commercial research, study and private enjoyment. The World and Traditional Music collections include the works of Arthur Morris Jones' work in Africa as well as Peter Cooke's work in Uganda. The collection is undoubtedly a priceless resource for both academic and leisure listeners.

The decision to sleep on a train is yours to make. The fact that I was asleep does not, in any way, excuse the drunk man's behavior. We need to respect people, especially in our shared spaces. We need people to keep speaking up. Not only for ourselves but for those around us as well -- we are not alone!
His name was Constantine Kargas. I had never met him or spoken to him. He was a complete stranger to me. And yet he believed we were soul mates, destined to be together. In fact, he was planning our wedding. For years I was terrorized by a stalker whose sick attentions might have derailed my career -- and ended my life.

Benidorm is a British sitcom written by Derren Litten and produced by Tiger Aspect for ITV. The series features an ensemble cast of holiday makers and staff at the Solana all-inclusive hotel in Benidorm, Spain.
The show first aired on 1 February 2007. Critically acclaimed, Benidorm has received two National Television Awards[1][2] and nominations at the British Comedy Awards[3] and BAFTAs.[4]
The seventh series began on ITV on 2 January 2015.[5] A 7-episode eighth series was commissioned on 6 February 2015 to air in 2016.[6]
Series 1 introduced the main characters, the Garvey family: parents Mick (Steve Pemberton) and Janice (Siobhan Finneran), teenage daughter Chantelle ('Telle' – Hannah Hobley) and eight-year-old son Michael (Oliver Stokes). They are on their first holiday abroad, paid for by Janice's mother – the sun-worshiping, chain-smoking Madge (Sheila Reid), who doesn't have a kind word for anyone. Jacqueline (Janine Duvitski) and Donald (Kenny Ireland) have been coming to Benidorm for twenty years and are enthusiastic, middle-aged swingers. Kate (Abigail Cruttenden) and Martin Weedon (Nicholas Burns) are going through a rough patch during their third year of marriage. Within seconds of arriving they realise that the Solana is the worst place for them to make a fresh start. Geoff Maltby (Johnny Vegas), who calls himself 'The Oracle', has an irritating computer-like knowledge of trivia, he claims to be the Lancashire pub quiz champion, and is prone to fits of competitive behavior; he has always come on holiday with his mother, Noreen (Elsie Kelly). Gavin (Hugh Sachs) and Troy (Paul Bazely) are on their first holiday together after setting up a successful hair salon. They consider themselves superior to the other guests but are happy enough to get drunk and snigger at them; later in the series their relationship hits rock bottom when Troy is caught with another series regular.
Also introduced in Series 1 are sexy barman Mateo (Jake Canuso), who flirts with anything that breathes, and Janey (Crissy Rock) the hotel manager and cabaret M.C. at Neptune's bar.
Guest cast members include Ella Kenion, playing a woman who cons the Garveys out of money at the beach but is caught when she turns up at Neptunes, and Niky Wardley, playing Kelly, Mateo's lover until she finds out about his fling with Kate.
Series 2 was broadcast in April 2008 and saw all the main characters from series 1 return to the Solana Resort for eight new episodes. However there were two new arrivals for the Garvey family: Mel Geoffrey Hutchings - the owner of five sun bed shops and "Didsbury's answer to Julio Iglesias"; plus 17-year-old Chantelle's new baby.
Niky Wardley returned as Kelly this time with her mother Sylvia (Wendy Richard) who was a wheelchair riding love rival for Madge, Margi Clarke made a brief appearance as Dorothy, Gavin's estranged mother, and Elliott Jordan played Jack, a British bar-owner in whom Janice found temptation.
Benidorm returned for a one-hour summer special which featured all the regular cast plus Jack (Elliott Jordan) and a wanted murderer named Enrique (Christopher Sciueref). Starting with a recap of Mel and Madge's wedding, the main plotline involved the abduction of Janice and Madge by Enrique and a subsequent helicopter rescue from the Solana rooftop. The crew took the opportunity to shoot some aerial footage of Benidorm from the helicopter, used as scene bridges in subsequent episodes.[7]
With ratings rising Series 3 followed in October in a new 45 minute format. It was set one year after the summer special as the holidaymakers took up the offer of a free holiday given to them by the Solana Resort. The regulars from series 2 returned but this time Martin did not bring Kate, instead he brought mischievous Brandy (Sheridan Smith) who was not all she seemed. The featuring of well-known guest stars was becoming something of a tradition with Keith Barron playing a very English Deputy Mayor, Tim Healy playing Geoff's transvestite blind date Les/Lesley, Robin Askwith playing Gary, a conman and a thief who was revealed as Brandy's lover, and Una Stubbs making an appearance in the final episode as Martin's mother Diana. Cast regular Kate Abigail Cruttenden made her only Series 3 appearance in the same episode, flying out to help Martin in the aftermath of a mass robbery by Gary and Brandy. It was later revealed she was seeing someone else, dashing Martin's hopes for a reconciliation.
Stuart McGugan played Donald's practical-joking friend Wink, who electrocuted himself to death on-stage at Neptune's, and Lorraine Bruce appeared as one of Madge's estranged daughters.
By the end of Series 3 the show was regularly attracting 6 million viewers and had won two National TV Awards and been nominated for both a BAFTA and a British Comedy Award. Series 4 was commissioned a few days after Series 3 finished airing.
As filming was just about to begin on the new Christmas special that would precede the fourth series, the production was thrown into chaos. Geoffrey Hutchings who played Mel, died suddenly from a suspected viral infection. As result of his untimely death the scripts had to be heavily re-written, and the storyline became that Mel had died off-screen on a business trip abroad.
Johnny Vegas, Paul Bazely, Hannah Hobley, Abigail Cruttenden, and Nicholas Burns all did not return.
The Christmas special, however, aired on Boxing Day 2010 and had some special guests including Marvin (Louie Spence) who was a member of the Middlesbrough Swingers Association and Su Pollard played herself as a guest star. Tim Healy returned as Les/Lesley this time working for Mel and directing the Garveys to Madge's villa. Asa Eliott made a small appearance singing for the Benidorm Palace. Wizzard made a brief appearance at the end of the special singing their big hit "I wish it could be Christmas everyday". Brian Murphy appeared as Noreen's love interest Clive; he proposed to her but did not return in series four.
A number of new characters were created for Series 4 to fill out the cast list again. Following his guest appearances in Series 3 Tim Healey became a full-time cast member as barman Les, with his son Liam (Adam Gillen) tagging along to Benidorm for a cheap holiday. A whiff of a Benidorm holiday romance was soon in the air for Liam, as he took an immediate shine to new girl Natalie (Kathryn Drysdale) - but her friend Sam (Shelley Longworth) has other ideas on their potential romance.
Gavin was given a new holiday companion, Kenneth (Tony Maudsley). Plus, Noreen brought her stressed-out daughter Pauline (Selina Griffiths) on holiday in place of Geoff. Pauline, having spent the past few years in South Africa with her husband but now going through a messy divorce, is irritable and doesn't make friends easily and later throughout the series became an alcoholic which annoyed and upset some of the regulars
Returning characters for the fourth series included the Garvey family, who start the series embroiled in a typical Garvey holiday disaster. Meanwhile the legendary Middlesbrough Swingers Association lost its two most popular members for the summer as Benidorm once again welcomed back Donald and Jacqueline.
Hotel staff Mateo and Janey continued to watch on through it all as the holiday chaos unfolds around them. There were a few special appearances such as Lucky Kev (Neil Fitzmaurice) who appeared in a number of episodes and there were one-off appearances, Cilla Black playing herself but now living in Madge's previous villa and Scary Mary (Denise Welch) and Mr Pink (Melvyn Hayes), both Madge's enemies and looking for her to pay up her debts. Michael Fenton Stevens made a brief appearance on the last episode playing the head of the British consulate.
Ian Reddington made an appearance as Johnny Neptune, who was an old flame of Janice Garvey and friend of Janey.
This was the last series to feature Janey, the old manager (Crissy Rock) as a regular character, she returned for one episode in Series 5 and two episodes in Series 7.
The last episode of the series saw the final appearance of Troy. The character making the holiday after his father passed away in the UK.
After the fourth series it seemed as if Benidorm might end, as creator Derren Litten said he didn't want to write any more episodes, However, he was persuaded to bring the show back for another series with, other writers helping out (including cast member Steve Pemberton).
The regular holidaymakers got a shock in Series 5 as the Solana resort was now staffed by new manager, Joyce Temple Savage (Sherrie Hewson).
Mick, Janice, Michael and Madge all returned for another holiday. Jacqueline and Donald also returned following Donald's faked death at the end of the last series. Kenneth is now a Benidorm businessman with his popular new hair salon based at the Solana resort with a new colleague Carmen (Alba Ortega) Gavin comes out to join him on holiday, but without Troy. Noreen was back for some sunshine and flying solo without her son or daughter for the first time, meanwhile Liam was now a handyman at the Solana. Meanwhile Benidorm good time girl Sam returned with a new friend in tow called Trudy (Michelle Butterly).
Asa Eliott reprised his role since the Christmas special, now regularly appearing as the singer in Neptunes, as Joyce ditched Shaun Foster Conley. Elliott Jordan returned as Jack only this time he was pretending not to recognise Janice, he later was revealed to be Liam's new flatmate, but later showed his true colours. Crissy Rock reprised her role as Janey briefly after her daughter, who was revealed to be Carmen was caught out giving the press false reports about the Solana. Michael Fenton Stevens returned to help make it right with Donald and Jaqueliene
This was the only series to feature Trudy (Michelle Butterly), and it was the last series to feature Sam (Shelly Longsworth) and Gavin (Hugh Sachs).
A new family was added to the show at this point. The Dykes, a lively family from Watford, consist of father Clive (Perry Benson) firmly under the thumb of his no nonsense wife Tonya (Hannah Waddingham) - both bring their son Tiger (Danny Walters) with them, and further in the series, their daughter Bianca (Bel Powley) shows up, claiming that her rich boyfriend dumped her while they were holidaying in the Maldives. Both Tiger and Bianca are young, single and looking for fun. Returning to enjoy the newly announced four star hotel treatment are Mick and Janice Garvey, with acid-tongued Madge not far behind. The Garveys also brought Michael, their son, with them again, who has now grown into an adventurous teenager. With Michael and Tiger off on trouble-making adventures around the resort, it isn't long before the Dykes and the Garveys begin to argue.
Other favourites returning to the Solana Resort include popular swingers Donald and Jacqueline Stewart, who intended to claim their free holiday that manageress Joyce Temple-Savage promised them at the end of the last series.
Mateo and Lesley are still working at the hotel, however Liam is now working with Kenneth at his 'Blow & Go' salon - the very discreet and selective hair and beauty emporium within the Solana resort.
Series 6 also saw the return of Martin Weedon (Nicholas Burns) who arrives on the loud and drunken stag do of his rich friend. This time he's very single and finds himself having a 'drunken encounter' with one of the known female holidaymakers.
The Stewarts, the Garveys, and Mateo, are the only original cast left.
Returning guest stars include Matthew Kelly returning as Cyril Babcock, a former dance prodigy and teacher who was living rough in Benidorm. He was subsequent made into Assistant Manager. Elliott Jordan returns to play Jack. He plays a practical joke on Michael and Tiger which leads to Michael punching him in the face. Asa Elliott made further guest appearances in Neptunes.
Guest stars include Ken Morley playing the Head of a local Hairdressing Mafia and Kenneth's uncle, Philip Olivier as Jason - a sexy new barman. Also featured in the series are The Krankies and Rustie Lee appearing as friends of swingers Donald and Jacqueline, legendary Hollywood star Joan Collins arrives as Crystal Hennessy-Vass, the CEO of the Solana Hotel Group, and also Joyce's high maintenance boss, Janet Street Porter making a cameo appearance as a news reporter and Holly Earl who plays a sexy young girl called Elena catching the eye of Michael Garvey and Tiger Dyke. It is revealed that she likes Michael more than Tiger, who is reluctant to accept this and attempts to steal Elena from Michael.
Series 6 was the first since Series 1 to air on Thursdays.
After the sixth series had aired, ITV confirmed that a seventh series will air in 2015. It was filmed at the Sol Pelicanos Ocas and different locations around Benidorm. Perry Benson, Jake Canuso, Janine Duvitski, Adam Gillen, Tim Healy, Sherrie Hewson, Tony Maudsley and Danny Walters all return as regulars from series 6. Siobhan Finneran, Steve Pemberton, Sheila Reid and Oliver Stokes also returned, but only appeared in the first two episodes. The Garveys are last seen flying to Las Vegas in episode 2. Hannah Waddingham and Bel Powley did not return.
Following Kenny Ireland's death, his character Donald Stewart will not appear[8] but his voice appeared in a phone call to Jacqueline , played by Duvitski, in the last episode of the series. Jacqueline will continue to star in the series, but will be joined by Alan David who appears as Glynn Flint. Leslie Jordan guest stars as Buck A. Roo for two episodes, an attorney who reveals that the Garveys have inherited $30,000,000 and whisks them off to Las Vegas. In Episode 3, Johnny Vegas and Elsie Kelly return for darts quiz hosted by Les/Lesley, It seems like Geoff has already made enemies with Clive and his son Tiger. In the fourth episode Denise Black guest starring as Gloria, Liam's Mum, comes to Benidorm on hope that he will return home and Kenneth is on the lookout to find something to cure Joyce's facial expressions. In the fifth episode Crystal Hennessy-Vass (Joan Collins) returns to the Solana to take Joyce out for lunch. Joyce returns to find Janey York (Crissy Rock) has taken her job as Crystal has asked for cheaper staff, replacing other staff members. The last episode in the series was dedicated to Kenny Ireland.
Series 7 began airing on ITV on 2 January 2015 and finished on 13 February.[5] In Series 7 the show went back to airing on Fridays, as it had done from Series 2–5, excluding Specials.
The series was renewed for an eighth series on 6 February 2015. Series 8 will consist of 7 episodes, all written by creator Derren Litten. On 26 March 2015 it was announced that Julie Graham, Steve Edge, Bobby Knutt, Josh Bolt and Honor Kneafsey had been cast as part of the brand new Dawson family. Following her recent departure at the beginning of Series 7, Sheila Reid will return,[9] however it is unknown whether Siobhan Finneran, Steve Pemberton and Oliver Stokes will also return. Former EastEnders star, Shane Richie will make a special guest appearance, and Joan Collins will return.[10] Filming began on 23 March 2015 and ended on 25 June 2015.
Cast and characters[edit]
The Solana is the hotel featured in the show where all the cast stay. The pool scenes are filmed at the Sol Pelícanos Ocas in Benidorm. The rooms are filmed in the Acuariam II Apartments which overlook the pool, and the Reception area (including Kenneth's salon) is a studio set. The Solana is all-inclusive and owns an all-inclusive bar/restaurant, Neptune's which is filmed at the Morgan Tavern, which is almost directly across the road from the Pelicanos.
Neptune's is an all-inclusive bar/restaurant featured in the show owned by The Solana. Most of the characters eat there all the time, and there is karaoke and live entertainment every night - with occasional guest appearances from singers Asa Elliott and Shaun Foster Conley. Neptune's is filmed in Morgan Tavern, which is a stroll down the road from Sol Pelicanos Ocas - where the majority of filming takes place.

a quality hotel, very classy and in a prime position in christchurch
Excellent service
Although we stayed on the third floor, we found the room was very comfortable and well laid out.
Ceiling height was not an issue as neither of us are very tall. Food, service and cleanliness were all outstanding and although in the center of Christchurch our room was quiet and peaceful.

I had to cancel this booking due to my husband being taken ill.
I phoned the hotel and spoke to a lady who it seemed was from a central answering service. I explained the situation and she said someone from the hotel would phone me the next day to let me know if I was going to be charged for the cancelled booking or not. I never received this call . Christchurch is a special location for us and we will be going soon - now not sure if I should risk re-booking here !

Lovely room, disappointing food.
Our room was clean and tidy and it was a pleasant place to stay in a great location.
The food, as a vegetarian was disappointing. We wanted to eat dinner, but there was only one option which was a plate of vegetables. Vegetarian breakfast consisted of everything without the meat with no thought or attention put to any specific vegetarian food.

refresh my memory-how many repeating super-threats did Kirk face? My recollection is none. He faced several ONE-SHOT super-enemies, and several recurring non-super-threat enemies, but not recurring super-threats that he kept defeating.
It doesn't matter if they were one-shots or not, fact is he defeated super-enemies at all. If he can do that without complaint, there's nothing stopping Janeway from doing the same to the Borg (which didn't even happen anyways, it's mostly just Anti-VOY hyperbole).
Then again, the fact that audiences were upset that there was even a single alien species out there that could fight the Borg (the 8472 aliens) is more or less proof that there wasn't anything acceptable the show could've done with the Borg that anyone would've liked.
but it does matter-it changes the argument. The argument is about weakening an otherwise powerful enemy through over-use when they're defeated every time they are faced. You can't weaken an enemy through over-use if they're only used once.
Of course it weakens the enemy even if they're only used once, defeating them even once weakens them and shows they weren't so tough and the main characters shouldn't have been so scared of them in the first place.
Q showed up repeatedly, no one ever says he lost his menace.

Joe Arpaio Wants Your Help to Decide How He Should Celebrate His 78th Birthday -- Give the Geezer Some Suggestions in This Blog's Comments Section
Anyone have any suggestions for the birthday boy?
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio "tweeted" earlier today that he needed a little help deciding what to do for his birthday this year, and while "jump in front of a fucking bus" was our initial suggestion, we figured loyal New Times readers probably had a few ideas of their own.
Arpaio will be turning 78 on June 14, and between posts on his Twitter page about "conducting another illegal immigrant operation here in Maricopa County today" and "just heard that some students from Fla are coming to visit me this morning and are self admitted illegal aliens," Arpaio made his plea:
"Anyone got any good ideas as to how I could celebrate my 78th birthday coming up this month?" Arpaio asks.
We thought we'd help the sheriff out and use the comment section of this blog post as a suggestion forum for Arpaio's upcoming birthday.
So, please leave any suggestions you may have for Arpaio, and we'll take the liberty of getting the best ideas to the Sheriff's Office -- careful, though, we all know how Joe feels about the IP addresses of New Times readers.
We'll report back later on your best shots.
