As a part of a global effort, we will be screening the documentary "Do The Math" next Thursday (May 16th) at the Franklin House in Streetsville at 7:00pm. The documentary follows the founder of 350.org, Bill McKibben around the country as he tries to encourage politicians and the public to confront the looming climate crisis.
Dr.Brad Bass is an adjunct Professor at University of Toronto in the School for the Environment. He uses scientific approaches derived from complexity theory to develop new solutions for saving water and energy and for conducting environmental simulations. Dr. Bass involves both high school and university students in designing new ecological technologies, new simulations for research and on several science-based environmental initiatives. Dr. Bass is well-known in the green roof and wall industry for his work on simulating building energy consumption, biodiversity on green roofs and workshops for elementary school students. He has also worked as a government in-house Green Roof expert and is often called upon to advise on green roof installations.
Dr.Bass received his PhD in Geography from Penn State University, with focus on information theory as an indicator of the quality of climate and meteorological observations and forecasts. He has worked in a number of other areas including agricultural meteorology, new vector-borne diseases emerging under climate change and climate change scenarios, for which he was a co-recipient of the Noble Prize awarded to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
In 2011, Dr. Bass mentored three high school students that all went on to win gold medals, one also went on to win a platinum medal, at the Canada-Wide Science Fair. Two of Dr. Bass' students represented Canada internationally at a Science Expo in Bratislava, Slovakia in 2011, and one went on to represent Canada at the European Youth Science Fair in Helsinki, Finland in 2011.
We cannot afford to be reticent in this matter. Dr. Bass gave us much to think about, and has hopefully moved us to make small changes in our own lives.

Whoops! A challenge, which I enjoy. McKibben a mystery until the name raised here. Lives, apparently, in Vermont (which I know well), an idyllic setting. Not surprising, our very own David Suzuki lived on Saltspring Island, BC, again an idyllic setting which I know. Suzuki now resting on his laurels but still producing magnificent TV fare that has be viewed with care, a critical eye and mind: shades of Thoreau in both of them!
Come on! Bangladesh! Bay of Bengal flooding old stuff. Confluence of Ganges and tributary run plus high tides the (OLD, OLD) cause. Possibly, population growth now exacerbates an old known problem.
Kiribati, Maldives, let me add Vanuatu (South Pacific) to the list. Vanuatu, like the others, crying foul about rising sea levels. I checked Vanuatu government web recently. Not a peep about rising waters.
Off-lying Islands, tiny and uninhabited, come and go, as they always have over past years......More, unable....

Yes, I noted the CO2 May 9, 2013 record. One must recognise that unusual natural phenomena - rising seas, wildfires, extreme weather, even tsunamis - have been with us since time immemorial. Its only our modern means of communication (Media, Internet and on) that, to a certain extent, create present day (immediate?) awareness, frequency, and possible concern. Rising seas typical. Not a peep, far as I am aware, from Halifax, Vancouver, Newfoundland or any other Canadian ocean ports (Atlantic/Pacific) about problems (causal) from rising seas. The Dutch get a lot of media attention as, periodically, does Venice, but these locations have been fighting the sea for ages. The Dutch I believe, past masters so I listen, or seek, information from them assiduously as an indication of reality
Yet we live longer even with increasing CO2..................

Took a quick shufti at background and current activities of this fellow McKibben. I have never heard of him before. My reaction is to label his climate "preachings", false equivalence. Although he does claim his work is science based - I am not sure what he means by this statement?
He appears to have peddled his false equivalence syndrome to many who slavishly follow (and possibly contribute funds) to the partial nonsense dished up by 350.org.One wonders what Al Gore has to say - although one can dismiss any preaching from this source!
I say partial nonsense, as climate change (why have they ignored Global Warming?), appears to be a demanding challenge where false equivalence, at the moment, holds sway.
Regret I will not attend "Do The Math."

The Ripon Indians were able to defy the expectations of the majority of the Sac-Joaquin Section, earning a berth into the Division II Boys Water Polo Championships.

C lies on the perpendicular bisector of AB, so it has the same slope as AD and passes through the midpoint of AB. Figure out the equation of this perpendicular bisector and figure out where it intersects the BC line (3y=4x-14).
Unless you know linear algebra, you start with
Solve for y in one of the equations, and substitute into the other, then solve for x. Plug x back into the equations and get y.

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-573) Escaped quotes inside a phrase cause a ParseException
|Wed, 08 Nov 2006 01:56:58 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-573?page=comments#action_12448007 ] Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-573: ------------------------------------- The number of people searching for '\' must be minuscule (to non-existent), so I'm personally OK with doing what makes the most sense. In general, I think it's more user friendly and less surprising to allow a backslash escape of something that doesn't need it (while removing the backslash). So \\ => \ \" => " \+ => + // not a necessary escape if in a quoted string, but consistent Then there are the "control" chars, \r\n\t, etc. At some point we might want to allow unicode escapes, and keeping backslash as a general escape char will facilitate this. > Escaped quotes inside a phrase cause a ParseException > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-573 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-573 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Bug > Components: QueryParser > Affects Versions: 1.9 > Environment: Debian Sarge, Sun JDK 1.4.2 > Reporter: Tomislav Gountchev > Assigned To: Michael Busch > Priority: Minor > Attachments: escaped_quotes_inside_phrases.patch > > > QueryParser cannot handle escaped quotes when inside a phrase.

A Message from Bonnie
Superhuman achievements, extravagant wealth and grandiloquent language, political power or notoriety, or the external signs of success aren't impressive. Instead, the wonder in the world around me, the respect I feel when an individual meets trouble with dignity and hard work, my amazement to learn of a small triumph in an everyday life motivate me.
My response isn't unique. From a piece as banal yet charming as Flower Drum Song ("A Hundred Million Miracles") to soul-stirring poems by Ranier Maria Rilke ("Duino Elgies"), we're reminded how fleeting our existence and how valued our senses, experiences and thoughts should be.
So my writing and my blog explore these details with humor, aversion, praise, or awe, both the highs and lows of incidents I run across. You're welcome to comment, read, or respond if you're so inclined.

text: I've been playing LC for some time, and this is one of my more successful teams. Now, because I haven't made an RMT since the server crash, I have no idea how to link Pokemon sprites here, so could someone please tell me? Woobat @ Eviolite Trait: Simple Level: 5 EVs: 236 SAtk / 252 SDef / 20 Def Modest Nature - Calm Mind - Air Slash - Psychic - Heat Wave While Woobat isn't seen often in LC, with Simple and Calm Mind, it can be a real threat. Its Speed isn't bad, and it struck me as one of those Pokemon who could be brilliant, if given the right support. Air Slash's flinch chance is useful occasionally, Psychic is STAB, and Heat Wave is for coverage. I do, occasionally, feel like I need a spinner to support it, but it isn't crucial. Porygon @ Eviolite Trait: Trace Level: 5 EVs: 236 HP / 196 Def / 76 SDef Calm Nature - Tri Attack - Thunder Wave - Shadow Ball - Recover Obvious threats to Woobat would be Misdreavus and Abra, both of which could outspeed and OHKO with Shadow Ball. Porygon is not only immune to Ghost, it has great Special Defense and access to Recover. This is pretty much a standard set; the only thing to add is that Thunder Wave often eases sweeps for Woobat or Timburr. Timburr @ Eviolite Trait: Guts Level: 5 EVs: 196 Atk / 236 SDef / 76 Def Adamant Nature - Bulk Up - Drain Punch - Mach Punch - Payback Timburr's standard set; no explanation should be necessary. Mach Punch has often been useful to revenge kill opponents (other than Pawniard, which has Sucker Punch, there are no other priority users on the team). It can be switched in on a Toxic or Will-O-Wisp and activate Guts, as well, which has been useful more than once. Magnemite @ Eviolite Trait: Magnet Pull Level: 5 EVs: 236 SAtk / 236 SDef / 36 Def Modest Nature - Substitute - Charge Beam - Thunderbolt - Hidden Power [Ice] As my username should suggest, this is my favourite Pokemon (or at least one of them). The idea is simple; switch in on a Bronzor or Ferroseed, set up a Substitute, then Charge Beam until they faint. Then, with a Special Attack boost or two, and a Substitute, Magnemite can defeat at least two or three of the opposing team with BoltBeam. Pawniard @ Eviolite Trait: Inner Focus Level: 5 EVs: 236 Atk / 196 SDef / 76 Def Adamant Nature - Sucker Punch - Iron Head - Brick Break - Stealth Rock This is an unusual Pawniard set, but very effective. I usually lead with it, then set up rocks and attack. Inner Focus saves me from Fake Out, but Defiant from Intimidate, so which one would you recommend? I also need a Ghost-type, because of the double Fighting weakness. Shroomish @ Toxic Orb Trait: Poison Heal Level: 5 EVs: 36 SDef / 36 SAtk / 196 HP / 196 Def Calm Nature - Spore - Substitute - Leech Seed - Giga Drain Standard SubSeed set, with Spore. (Excuse my alliteration). Shroomish has good defenses, and immunity to status. This is the set I always use when I want to counter Drilbur, not that it's seen that much any more. It has the capacity to be really annoying, on par with Cottonee, in fact. Thanks for reading this! Any advice is appreciated.

Definition of Brecht, Bertolt in English:
Brecht, Bertolt
(1898–1956), German playwright, producer, and poet; full name Eugen Bertolt Friedrich Brecht. His interest in combining music and drama led to collaboration with Kurt Weill, for example in The Threepenny Opera (1928), an adaptation of John Gay's The Beggar's Opera. Brecht's later drama, written in exile after Hitler's rise to power, uses techniques of theatrical alienation and includes Mother Courage (1941) and The Caucasian Chalk Circle (1948).

Parliament go-ahead for constitutional review
Country's charter due for a shake-up
March 20, 2013
Myanmar's parliament agreed on Wednesday to form a committee to review the country's controversial 2008 constitution. The move has been hailed by critics who have long condemned it as being undemocratic and hastily ratified under pressure by the former ruling junta.
The proposal for the committee was tabled on Friday by parliamentarians from the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) and approved by both houses of parliament on Wednesday morning.
The committee will comprise "law experts and intellectuals" along with parliamentarians, according to the state-run newspaper New Light of Myanmar, which added that the constitution needed to conform "with the current situation of the country due to [the] reforming process."
Myanmar's opposition National League for Democracy (NLD Party welcomed the announcement, with one MP saying the party had vigorously called for changing "undemocratic elements" of the constitution. It has been claimed that these elements were endorsed in a rigged referendum, held in the immediate aftermath of the devastating Cyclone Nargis, which struck the country in 2008.
Under the current constitution, NLD leader Aung San Suu Kyi is prohibited from standing for president in the forthcoming general elections in 2015, which the NLD is heavily favored to win.
The current charter also reserves 25 percent of all parliamentary seats for military personnel and requires a more than 75 percent majority to approve amendments.
"We warmly welcome the effort to review the constitution," said NLD parliamentarian Dr Zaw Myint Maung.
"Our party has long called for constitutional changes and the fact that this was initiated by the USDP party rather than by the NLD shows a stronger national reconciliation process going on in our country."
There has been no word on what parts of the constitution might be amended following the committee's review, but senior NLD leader Win Tin said any change must be significant and aim to bring greater rights for the country's ethnic minorities while ending automatic representation of the military in parliament.
"We cannot make just slight changes, which will open the door for Aung San Suu Kyi's presidency, but rather critical changes … for the good of the public," he said.
Suu Kyi, chairman of the NLD and herself a lawmaker, has said any amendment to the constitution should not be based on whether she decides to run for the presidency.
One parliamentarian who asked not to be named suggested that the decision to allow the committee was linked to her recent support for military interests in a controversial copper mine in central Myanmar.
A commission headed by Suu Kyi last week recommended that the project, jointly operated with a Chinese firm, should continue despite local and violent protests by area villagers.

I'd like to create a Google map with a search box to embed into my site. I've already created the custom map with my markers via my google maps account.
Unfortunately the html embedded maps don't include a search box within a map, so I believe I need the Google API. All I need a map with a search box and zoom (zoom seems there by default), so that I can add places of interest (clubs in my case) from my Google account. I would like visitors to be able to type a place of interest in the search box, and it will take them to that location on the map, and show local clubs nearby.
I've already spent some time looking for examples, so that I can modify it to suit my needs, but have not found something similar. My programming skills are quite limited, so I'm looking for a simple solution.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here please?

Fr. Thuong's Silver Jubilee
Parish News
In looking back 25 years ago, I have clearly recognized the presence of God in my life.
First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my God and my Mother Mary for taking care of me with Their Loving Embrace. Also I would like to thank our Bishop Emeritus John Cummins, who ordained me, Bishop Allen Vigneron, Salvatore Cordileone, Alexander Brunett and Michael Barber, who nourished and cared for me as a priest. I would like express my sincere gratitude to all my Oakland brothers priests, my family members, my dear parishioners, my benefactors and my friends who pray and who have walked. Because of your support and encouragement, I have become the best of who I am.
I was born and raised in Vietnam. I began my priestly vocation in the seminary of the Long-Xuyen Diocese in 1968 at the age of 12. Upon graduation from high school and preparation for college in 1975, Vietnam had fallen to the Communist regime. All seminaries were closed and taken over by the Communist government. All seminarians had to return home to avoid prosecution and execution. I also returned to my home village parish and served the parish school as an "interim principal." With the help and assistance of the village pastor and the parishioners, I was able to attend the "hidden underground night class" to continue my seminary college education. Religious life was getting more difficult, especially for seminarians, and the chance to become a priest seemed impossible.
Therefore, in May 1981, with the help of a friend, I left Vietnam by boat and finally arrived in California in December 1981. After about six months of language studies, I entered St. Joseph's College Seminary and graduated in 1986. I moved on to St. Patrick's Seminary to study theology. By the grace of God, I was ordained on May 24, 1991. My first assignment was as parochial vicar at St. Joseph Parish in Pinole (1991-1993). Next, I served as a diocesan director of the Vietnamese Pastor Center (1993-1995). Then I was made pastor of St. Anthony Parish in Oakland (1995-2001), and I moved to Our Lady of Good Counsel Church as pastor in San Leandro (2001-2011).
In short, I have always believed in what our Lord Jesus spoke in John 14:2: "I am going there to prepare a place for you." For me, what it means is not just the heavenly place, but also all the earthly places where He has sent me and will send me for the fulfillment of my ministerial mission. I am deeply grateful to Jesus for choosing me as His priest in doing His work. And may our Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and also my Heavenly Mother, keep me close to her Beloved Son the Lord Jesus always.
I would like to personally reconsecrate each moment of my priestly life to the Immaculate Heart of Mary where I can be loved, be joyful and at peace.
Fr. Thuong Hoai Nguyen
As Catholic Christians, we are committed to knowing, loving and serving God
by obeying His commandments and serving our brothers and sisters with love and respect.

The noise level on the outdoor patio was ...
The noise level on the outdoor patio was obnoxious. There were two groups that were literally yelling across the table to talk over each other. It was so loud and there is no sound absorption, that we could hardly hear our server and could not have a normal dinner conversation. Our server apologized that it was "the busiest night they have had" and many of the menu items were not available. At least 6 items on the menu were no longer available. And when we ordered something that was available, she came back and told us it was no longer available, we chose an alternative, and it was never delivered to our table. We came here for our anniversary dinner, unfortunately, not the nice dinner out we had hoped for. VERY disappointing.

Loved the view of the waterfalls from the outside dining area. The tables were a little too close together. The tapas menu was served in a timely manner. The bar area is very chic. The indoor dining area is not to my liking. If you choose to dine here please pick the outside dining.

We only travel to this area once a year and we make sure we visit this place on Sunday's for the Blue, Brews & BBQ. The food is outstanding and the view is beautiful. The music is always good too. If you are in the area, make sure you try it out.

We found Glass-wine, bar. kltchen. on the internet as we were visiting in the area and were not familiar with local restaurants. What a find! Great small plate dining and drinks. But, dining outside, the view was spectacular! We were even treated to music by an acoustical guitarist. It was very pleasant having a drink on the deck on a beautiful moonlit summer night while listening to familiar songs. We would love to return during any season.

Charming setting with a rocky stream cascading down the rocks feet from our table. We tried a variety of different small plates.
Each one was delicious except we found the onion soup bites to be rather bland. Others have highly recommended them though, so it may have been an off night for them.
The service was good. We really enjoyed our evening.

We go back here every year while we vacation at Lake Wallenpaupack. It never disappoints. Great drinks like the Pear and Pomegranate Martini and a delicious menu of small plates that changes from year to year. I particularly enjoyed the perogies and the flatbreads. This may be my favorite date night of the year!

Too Little for Too Much
The food quality is good but the portions even though it is tapas style is way too small. I have been there before and felt this time the portions were skimpy. We ordered 10 tapas for 4 of us and we were still hungry when we left. Bill was $150. So for $37 a person we could have had a much better meal. We aren't big eaters either. Each Tapas didn't have enough to share.

Glass is always fabulous. We go all the time, but it was my choice this year for my birthday dinner with my besties. Be sure to request a table outside so you can take in the spectacular waterfall. Glass isn't just about great food and a great view. It's a great experience. So take it all in. And you'll be back. TIP: Shrimp tacos and fried brussel sprouts my fave!

We enjoy dining at Glass but we're very disappointed about the music..it was extremely loud and didn't not fit the atmosphere. The band played RocK/blues that vibrated the restaurant and made it impossible to talk to our friends or even the servers...the restaurant that is calming and a beautiful atmosphere was taken over by the band that made the mood frustrating and anxiety ridden. Very disappointing..:((

My fiancé and I had a lovely date night at Ledges. The outside dining area has great views, and is even beautiful once it gets dark due to the restaurants festive lighting. The menu was yummy and easy to share. It was hard to decide because everything sounded great. The servers were very friendly and knowledgable and rounded out a very enjoyable evening for us. We will certainly return and recommend to others.
This place is a true find...from the bea ...
This place is a true find...from the beautiful scenic view of the waterfall and the attentiveness of the wait staff, GLASS clearly earns an A+. There were 6 of us dining on Sat evening July 2, 2016-and one of our friends has celiac. The staff could not have been more helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. Our small plates of hummus, french onion soup, salads, and cheese assortment were amazing ..and the larger plates...wow! our friends remarked "this was the best lamb chop I ever ate"...and the salmon and crab cakes were equally wonderful..The baked macaroni and cheese was such a comfort.. (the kale was amazing too)..
Don't leave without tasting the desserts...they truly melt in your mouth..from the truffles, to the lemon curd fruit tart-and my favorite-the chocolate and vanilla mousse...yum! Your taste buds will thank you...
Don't miss this gem in Hawley..

Truly were surprised with every aspect of our dining experience. From starting withe the bar all the way to dessert. The drinks were great ,the food was exceptional, and the service was on point. We thought the scenery was memorizing. We will definitely return to this resturant .

Really great scenery and ambiance, hidden away in the Poconos. It did not feel like you were in the Poconos. A really nice, casual outdoor seating setup. Food was very good, although obviously small portions with the Tapas. Overall my wife and I had a great dining experience.

Food was good but for a buffet for 33 dollars I could see 25 I am a restaurant owner and bar owner food was good but price was steep other then that I love the place would be great to have a top deck cigar area that would be great seeing crowd is mostly over 45 and had to stand in parking lot with 5 other gentlemen on blues night

Great service. Beautiful setting -- be sure to request an outside table looking over the falls. The shrimp tacos and fried Brussels sprouts are terrific. My crab cakes was delicious. Err on the side of ordering more than you think you might eat.

I had a cheese plate, salmon and kale. My husband had the onion soup, shrimp tacos and we split the special dessert- pistachio pound cake with lemon curd and strawberries. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner..the presentations were beautiful, our server was knowledgeable attentive and wonderful..we had a terrific dining experience and will be back.
Amazing spot
The view was beautiful and our servers were really friendly and attentive. The food was amazing along with the dessert. I ordered so many different dishes because they all sounded delicious and they all were. They had live entertainment so we stayed after dinner to watch a few songs. Even though a band was playing in the bar area it wasnt too loud at all while we were eating. I will definitely be back, maybe for brunch next time!
I would not go out of my way to go back there.
The food was mediocre, the restaurant inside was empty, seemed like the patio outside
was busy but not enough to sit in a restaurant for 30 minutes before getting a drink of water
or service. Another table was irate and got up and left. When we finally got the two appetizers
it was not worth the wait. I did get a phone call of apology, but it didn't make up for the negative experience.
Glass On A Friday Night
The tapas style menu allowed the two of us to try a few different items. The prices seemed a bit high but the view and service increased the overall value. However, draft beers at $7 approached NYC prices. A very good musician played guitar and had an excellent voice. Nicer weather would have allowed us to sit on the deck and take in the beautiful view. Overall, an enjoyable special occasion meal.
Glass presented a nice evening .
Doing an overnight weekend stay at the Ledges Hotel, we were pleased to find Glass located in the same building. Tapas and good wine is always a great wind down after a cross state drive.
The atmosphere was rather chic, with fireplaces and the water falls just outside.
Food was well done and presented in artistic tapas form.
We tried the Salmon and also the Scallop , both were great.
Also ordered the fried Brussel Sprouts, done with vinegar & honey and tasty.
Found that we should have ordered only one portion of these as that is plenty .
I suggest that you check closely with server on portion size of sides and such, or you may get too much of one thing.
Our server was not what I would call "well versed" with the wine offerings, would inquire with bartender of manager next time.
Fantastic food with a great ambiance!
Great restaurant, impeccable service, great ambiance... who could ask for more?! The only negative would be that the cheese tray could have had a few more slices of cheese on it... we were actually laughing at the few grapes, jellies, and cheese slices that were presented, however, the rest of the portions were outstanding. We'll be back... we just won't order the cheese tray :)
Amazing dinner!
Came here for a Girls weekend getaway for dinner. Food was amazing and our waitress was too. We had a dinner that needed to be cooked with as little fat as possible because of issues and the waitress and chef couldn't be more accommodating. Food turned out delicious even without all the extras! Overall was a great night and can't wait to come back.

There are lots of books about how bills become laws in Congress. I've read some and thought I knew a lot about the subject. I was wrong; in today's Congress, much of what's described in (for example) Robert Caro's excellent books on Lyndon Johnson has gone out the window.
The strength of this book is that Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Chris Dodd gave the author quite extraordinary access to their work as they drafted what turned out to be the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation. Kaiser, by then a retired journalist, sat in on confidential meetings, but promised to write nothing until the bill passed (or did not).
The result is unsettling. This most important law (as described) was written and edited almost entirely by staff. There was strikingly little detailed attention by members, except for Barney Frank. When members sought to amend the bill, it was almost always at the instigation of a staffer with a hobbyhorse.
Unsurprisingly, the book goes into sad detail about the lack of co-operation between Democrats and Republicans. The subject, banking reform, was one both parties had expressed concern about and one might have expected co-operation. There was none. The book is frankly partisan; Kaiser, spending hours with Dodd and Frank and their staffs, tends to adopt their views.
It is also detailed; I found the detail fascinating and I think most students of government will feel as I did. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an advanced course on how Washington works (or does not). It is outstanding, highly original reporting. I wish I could tell you it will leave you feeling better about your government. It won't. But you'll know a lot more.
He had unlimited access to Representative Frank and Senator Dodd, the respective financial committee chairman and their staff members, as well as interviews with administration and treasury officials, banking organization lobbyists, and consumer advocates. He is persuasive in concluding that although this bill might have been improved in an ideal world, the result is a major piece of legislation that should prevent a future financial meltdown like that of 2008.
Perhaps the most disheartening revelation in this book is the author's estimation that less than ten percent of the members of Congress understand the US financial system and components such as derivative trading that bankers abused and regulators neglected to control. Examples of Congressional ignorance would be unbelievable if they weren't specific -- the member during debate who claimed that government takeover of banking gave it control over 18% of our economy, health care another 18% -- for a total of 48% -- and the energy industry another 8% for a total 54% of our economy. Yes, you read those figures right. Even a fourth grader would have better math skills.
Kaiser's portrayal of Congressional staff -- with a couple of notable exceptions -- are the good news of this book. Most have impressive abilities and resumes that would reward them far more in the private sector, but they work long hours in the cause of public service.
Kaiser attributes an alignment of the stars to the successful end result.Read more ›

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
Director Julie Taymor, who just last week said she was "in the crucible and the fire of transformation," could be on her way out of the beleagured Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.
According to The New York Times, producers were negotiating Monday for the Tony Award winner to work with an expanded creative team — including veteran musical supervisor Paul Bogaev and possibly playwright/comics writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa — to overhaul the much-delayed and derided $65 million production. They're reportedly also deciding when to officially open, now that a sixth delay is inevitable.
The show was scheduled to open next Tuesday, a date described in January by lead producer Michael Cohl as "the final postponement," but The Times notes that theater critics have not received invitations, which are typically sent about two weeks before.
Taymor's departure would, of course, be a seismic change for the trouble musical, which she's steered from its genesis in 2002 through near-bankruptcy, repeated delays, cast departures, prolonged previews, injuries and critical scorn. Along the way, she's been called everything from a creative genius to a megalomaniac, all the while serving as a lightning rod for criticism.
By far the most expensive and technically complex show in Broadway history, Spider-Man added another superlative to the list on Sunday: With its 98th preview performance, it broke the record set in 1969 by Jackie Mason's A Teaspoon Every Four Hours.
When even the show's most vocal defender is reporting on an apparent sixth delay for Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, you begin to think there's something to the growing belief that the $65 million musical won't officially open until June.
Roger Friedman, a longtime friend of director Julie Taymor who's used his Showbiz411 website to chastise theater critics and counter reports by the New York Post's Michael Riedel, now says the March 15 date — described in January by lead producer Michael Cohl as "the final postponement" — is being called a "Hope-ening."
"One source says every time the show doesn't open they call it a 'Faux-pening'," Friedman writes this morning. He frames the move as a way to sidestep the April 28 deadline for the Tony Awards while giving the creative team more time to retool the show as much as possible within the constraints of the highly complex mechanics: "I am told that the feeling is that week to week the show is selling well enough ($1.55 mil last week.) that opening now, getting panned again, and then getting snubbed by the Tonys — which is likely — is worse than just staying the course and continuing to make improvements."
This latest delay was perhaps telegraphed early last month by a wave of negative reviews, followed by reports that comics writer and playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa had been approached to rewrite the book, and the hiring of veteran conductor and musical supervisor Paul Bogaev.
The troubled production, which has been plagued by mechanical glitches, injuries and cast departures as well as delays, was cited Friday by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for three serious safety violations for four separate incidents last year — including the one in which Christopher Tierney plunged from a platform on stage, breaking ribs and fracturing his skull. Producers were fined $12,600, a drop in the bucket for the most expensive show in Broadway history.
It was a busy Tuesday for the cast and crew of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark that began with an upbeat appearance by the stars on CBS's Early Show and ended with a subdued performance on the Late Show with David Letterman. In between, Bono was expected to tell producers whether he thinks the troubled $65-million musical is ready for its scheduled March 15 opening.
On The Early Show, stars Reeve Carney, Jennifer Damiano and T.V. Carpio brushed aside the production's largely negative reviews, even one saying that Spider-Man ranks among the worst musicals in Broadway history. "Everyone has a right to their opinion," said Carney, who stars as Peter Parker. "If anything, maybe thanks for — in some ways, we kind of get a kick out of the negativity, just because (of) that whole thing — 'any press is good press' is not entirely true, but you have to have a good sense of humor about yourself, as well. We're just trying to make the best show we can. So it's one person's opinion, and I think the audience reaction is so positive every night that that's kind of what we're focused on, just trying to please the audience."
Likewise, Carpio downplayed the show's injuries, pointing out she received a concussion while performing in Rent. "Not to minimize what has happened in our show," she said, "but there's no flying in Rent and these things happened and nobody heard about it." (That said, Spider-Man producers can't be pleased by the headline on The Early Show website: "Spider-Man stars rationalize injuries.")
On David Letterman, it was all about the music, with the trio performing the obviously Bono-penned ballad "Rise Above" (watch the video below). They might've been better-served by something a little more pulse-pounding, but what do I know? How about Carney's Spider-Man jacket, though? I'd buy one of those from the gift shop (which will be stocked with merchandise sporting Greg Horn artwork).
Producers of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark have brought in outside help for the beleaguered musical amid growing expectation that the show's opening will be delayed a sixth time.
The New York Times reports that veteran conductor and musical supervisor Paul Bogaev was hired about a week ago to work with Bono and the Edge and to help improve the performance, arrangements and sound quality. Bogaev was the musical director and conductor of the technically complex Starlight Express, and collaborated with Phill Collins on Tarzan and Elton John on Aida.
News of Bogaev's involvement comes less than a week after a report that comics writer and playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa had been approached to rework the book originally penned by Julie Taymor and Glen Berger (The Times says he's yet to be hired). It also follows quickly on a rumor that producers wanted to bring in a co-director for Taymor — something a show spokesman and Taymor herself deny.
Spider-Man spokesman Rick Miramontez wouldn't comment to the newspaper regarding speculation that the show's opening could be pushed past March 15, the date selected last month by lead producer Michael Cohl "to ensure that this will be the final postponement."
The $65 million musical, which began preview performances on Nov. 28, has experienced numerous setbacks, including technical glitches, serious injuries, cast departures and, early this month, an avalanche of scathing reviews from theater critics. Still, it's the second highest-grossing show on Broadway, behind the long-running Wicked.
After five delays and nearly 70 preview performances, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark received its first wave of "official" reviews overnight from the nation's top theater critics — many of whom went to great pains to point out that the $65-million musical was supposed to open on Monday, at least before the most recent postponement.
The results are perhaps predictable, if certainly not flattering. Words like "incoherent," "cheap" and "atrocious" are used, much to the production's dismay. (Comic Book Resources reviewed Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark last month, with Staff Writer Josh Wigler describing it as "awful.")
"The PILE-ON by the critics was ridiculous and uncalled for," show spokesman Rick Miramontez said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. "Their actions are unprecedented and UNCOOL!"
"Unprecedented" likely refers to the publishing of reviews before the show's official opening on March 15, a baton Showbiz411's Roger Friedman — a longtime friend and frequent defender of director Julie Taymor — picked up when he described the move as an "ambush" in a post titled "Spider-Man Musical: Told Not To, the Critics Review it Anyway." That's the same Roger Friedman who, in 2009, downloaded and reviewed a copy of a stolen unfinished print of X-Men Origins: Wolverine weeks before the movie's opening.
Here's a roundup of some of the early reviews that reportedly left Spider-Man producer Norton Herrick "gobsmacked":
After seven tempestuous weeks of previews during which a temporary, and unsatisfying, ending was used, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark has a dramatic new finale.
The New York Times reports the new, technically complex ending features a flying sequence in which Spider-Man flies "in a triumphant manner" around the 1,932-seat Foxwoods Theatre. The change comes in response to complaints that the show's current ending — Spider-Man and Mary Jane embrace, then the curtain drops — was lackluster at best.
A spokesman for the $65-million musical would only say that the new ending involves "an airborne finale moment that will be familiar to Spider-Man fans around the world."
Producers announced last Thursday that Spider-Man's opening would be delayed a fifth time, to March 15, to allow more time to fine-tune the finale and other aspects of the show. Grammy-winning record producer Steve Lillywhite was also been brought in by Bono and director Julie Taymor to work with the performers on the music.
The opening of the $65-million musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark has been delayed for a fifth time, to March 15, the show's lead producers announced late today. Opening night previously had been set for Feb. 7.
According to The New York Times and other outlets, producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah J. Harris said the opening was pushed back to allow more time to fine-tune parts of the show, "including a new ending." The announcement came hours after it was reported that Grammy-winning record producer Steve Lillywhite had been brought in by Bono and director Julie Taymor to work with the performers on the music.
Preview performances scheduled for Jan. 18 and Jan. 25 also have been canceled outright.
"Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is ten times more complicated to tech than anything else," Cohl said in a statement, "and the preview schedule allows for only very limited rehearsal time (twelve hours per week). We simply need more time to fully execute the creative team's vision before freezing the show. I picked a date in March that allows me to ensure that this will be the final postponement."
The delay is just the latest in a series of setbacks for the musical, which in addition to be the most expensive and technically complex in Broadway history now holds the record for most previews (they began on Nov. 28). Spider-Man has been plagued with troubles that date back to at least back to August 2009, when cash-flow obstacles forced the production to shut down, seemingly beginning a domino effect that led to repeated delays, the loss of two stars and a ballooning budget.
Safety concerns first emerged in October, around the time dancer Kevin Aubin broke both wrists in an aerial stunt gone wrong. During the coverage of that incident it was discovered that another performer had broken a foot during rehearsals. Then came November's problem-filled first preview, during which actress Natalie Mendoza suffered a concussion, resulting in a two-week absence and, eventually, her departure. That was followed on Dec. 20 by the show's worst mishap, when aerialist Christopher Tierney suffered extensive injuries after his harness snapped, sending him falling 30 feet.
Despite those problems, Spider-Man still managed to top last week's Broadway box office, narrowly beating out the long-running musical Wicked.
With its planned Feb. 7 opening a little more than a month away, the beleaguered Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark began the new year with some impressive box-office receipts, a new lead actress, and a public-relations offensive:
• Despite — or, heck, maybe because of — the injuries, technical mishaps and delays, Spider-Man is the third highest-grossing show on Broadway, raking in $1.88 million during the week of the New Year's holiday. It's behind Wicked and The Lion King.
• Cast member T.V. Carpio was announced on Tuesday as the replacement for Natalie Mendoza in the lead role of the villainous Arachne. Mendoza left the production last week to continue her recovery from the concussion she suffered in November during the show's problem-filled first preview. Carpio had played Miss Arrow, one of four members in the musical's so-called Geek Chorus, had had portrayed Arachne in several previews last month.
• Christopher Tierney, the aerialist who suffered serious injuries in a fall during a Dec. 20 performance, told The New York Times that, "for a show that's this technically complex, four injured performers is just not strange." Lead producer Michael Cohl told Entertainment Weekly that the 31-year-old Tierney, who's expected to take two to three months to heal, is welcome back to Spider-Man whenever he's ready.
• Tierney appeared Tuesday on ABC's Good Morning America with stars Reeve Carney, Jennifer Damiano and Patrick Page. You can watch video of the segment after the break.
The troubled Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark received another blow this morning as word emerged that actress Natalie Mendoza, who suffered a concussion during the show's problem-filled first preview, is leaving the Broadway musical.
Citing anonymous sources, The New York Times reports that representatives for Mendoza, lawyers and producers of the show "have been hammering out an exit agreement for days" and "fine-tuning the language" to explain the actress' departure. An official announcement is expected later today.
Mendoza starred as Arachne, a villain created by director Julie Taymor who plays a major role in the revised origin of Spider-Man and later becomes obsessed with the superhero. The newspaper notes that Taymor worked closely with Mendoza to develop the character's look and mannerisms.
The 30-year-old actress, who was injured on Nov. 28 when a rope struck her in the head while she was standing offstage, hasn't performed since Dec. 20, when her friend and castmate Christopher Tierney was seriously injured in a fall. According to The Times, she has been on vocal rest, under doctors' orders. Mendoza's understudy America Olivo, who filled in for her during her two-week recovery from the concussion, is expected to step into the role of Arachne.
The loss of a lead actress this close to Spider-Man's scheduled Feb. 7 opening would be enough of a sting on its own. But it's particularly embarrassing following nearly a year of delays — the show was to debut in March 2010 at one point — money problems, the departures of the original Mary Jane and Green Goblin, four injuries — two of them major — and mounting criticism.
Confused by all the twist and turns involving the delay- and injury-plagued Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark? Don't worry, Taiwan's Next Media Animation has your covered, explaining the latest developments in its customary CGI-animated, and somewhat-humorous, style.
Broadway | The Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark canceled both Wednesday performances to test new safety measures following the Monday-night fall that left a stuntman hospitalized with broken ribs and internal bleeding. The cancellation of the sold-out evening show was announced just three hours before showtime at the Foxwoods Theatre. Tonight's performance is expected to go on as planned.
Producers and creators met privately on Tuesday with the entire company to address safety concerns about the $65-million musical, the most expensive and technically complex in Broadway history. Although accidents in theater productions aren't uncommon, it's unusual for there to be four injuries before a show has officially opened. MTV offers some context. [The New York Times, The Associated Press]
In the wake of last night's accident that sent a stuntman to the hospital, Actors' Equity Association has announced it will halt performances of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark until better safety measures are instituted.
"Actors' Equity Association is working with management and the Department of Labor to ensure that performances will not resume until back-up safety measures are in place," the labor union, which represents live theatrical performances, said this morning in a statement released to Broadway World. Update: Broadway.com now reports that "additional safety protocols" will be enacted immediately, resulting in the postponement of Wednesday's matinee. However, Wednesday evening's performance, and all subsequent ones, will proceed as scheduled.
As we reported earlier, aerialist Christopher Tierney, who doubles for Spider-Man and two villains, fell about 30 feet when the cable to his harness snapped during the closing minutes of Monday night's performance. (The New York Times has amateur video of the mishap.) He was taken by ambulance to Bellevue Hospital, where he's reported to be in stable condition. According to Showbiz 411, Tierney suffered broken ribs and is being monitored because he was bleeding after the fall.
Inspectors from the New York State Department of Labor are visiting the Foxwoods Theatre today to conduct their own investigation. "We'll be talking to the production team, checking the harnesses, cables, and other equipment, and trying to determine what happened, and we'll have more information after that," a department spokesman told The Times.
It will take the troubled Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark four years to recoup its initial $65-million original investment, according to number-crunching by The New York Times.
Writing on the newspaper's Economix blog, economics editor Catherine Rampell cautions that's just a rough estimate that excludes merchandising sales — those can be lucrative for hit shows on the scale of The Lion King or Wicked — but somewhat generously assumes that 96 percent of the Foxwoods Theatre's 1,932 available seats will be sold each week.
So, yes, Rampell's calculations require some educated guesswork, but they make it clear that, even with the repeated delays, injuries and a problem-filled preview seemingly behind them, the producers of Spider-Man still have a difficult row to hoe. The combination of an established property with a visionary creative team might seem like a formula for success, but as Rampell notes, for every Lion King or Wicked there's a Little Mermaid or Shrek the Musical. The latter, which cost an estimated $24 million — until Spider-Man came along, it was the most expensive production in Broadway history — ran for slightly more than a year, before closing in January.
The good news for producers and hopeful fans of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is that the delay-plagued $65-million musical finally previewed Sunday night on Broadway. The bad, if not unexpected, news is … things didn't go well.
Sure, nobody died, as Vulture so helpfully points out. But the ambitious, technically complex production began 24 minutes late, and then went downhill from there. According to The New York Times, Act I was paused four times — the first coming a half-hour into the show to allow the crew to free star Reeve Carney from an aerial harness. The act's final pause, described as "the worst glitch of the night by far," came when Spider-Man was left dangling over the audience before the stage manager abruptly called for intermission.
New York Post critic Michael Riedel, who has gleefully chronicled Spider-Man's misfortunes, reports that a scene in which Mary Jane (Jennifer Damiano) was supposed to be rescued from atop the Chrysler Building faltered as part of the building came up missing, and Mary Jane never materialized.
The performance crawled on for 3 1/2 hours, during which time some audience members walked out, one person yelled, "I don't know how everyone else feels, but I feel like a guinea pig today — I feel like it's a dress rehearsal," and Green Goblin (Patrick Page) was forced to stall for time while crew members "openly rushed around to fix faulty equipment."
Still, though, it could've gone worse. Right?
After the break you can watch the segment on the making of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark that aired last night on CBS's 60 Minutes.
As the delay-plagued Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark finally prepares to begin previews — Sunday, if nothing else goes wrong — New York magazine takes us "Inside Broadway's Most Expensive Musical Ever."
The longish cover story serves as both a profile of Julie Taymor, the visionary director who's been a lightning rod for criticism, and a chronicle of a production troubled by a financial shortfall, a ballooning budget, the loss of two stars, and technical difficulties that have thrust the musical into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
Here are some of the more interesting tidbits:
• The widely reported budget estimates, which range anywhere from $50 million to $65 million, apparently are "fantasies." Says the show's lead producer Michael Cohl: "They are like asking my dog 'How much is the budget?' and counting how many times he barks." New York writer Jesse Green suggests the actual figure is even higher, "in the vicinity" of $70 million.
• Taymor wonders why writers even care how much the production costs: This is a drama–rock-and-roll–circus, or a circus–rock-and-roll–drama; there's no word for it. And what do they want? Two-character, one-set musicals? How is that helping the theater?" She likes that "rock-and-roll-circus" description.
