News The Canadians Fight for Southern Afghanistan
NATO (mostly Canadian) and Afghan forces estimated killing 200 Taliban outside Kandahar Sunday. Four Canadian soldiers were killed and several wounded. If the estimate is correct, this would be the biggest single defeat of Taliban fighters in months, reports the New York Times.
Hundreds of Taliban fighters have been massing in the Panjwai and Zhare districts, just west of Kandahar, the main city in southern Afghanistan. For months, the rebels have been mounting attacks on and near the main highway, stirring fear of an imminent assault in Kandahar.
"The Taliban presence in Panjwai is undoubtedly having a large psychological effect on Kandahar and has to be dealt with," a senior NATO officer said last week.
Kabul is the Afghan capital now, but Kandahar is the historic capital of the country and was the seat of the Taliban government, not Kabul.
At least the Canadians are focused on the area from which the Sept. 11 terrorists actually came.

I have an archaic modem interface library, which was originally made for Solaris and Linux, and I am trying to see if it will work for Linux.
While compiling on Linux, I saw :
#if ! defined(WIN32)
#include <string.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <sys/termiox.h>
It doesn't seem to be able to find where termiox.h and when I google for it, it only shows up results for termios.h
I can't simply take away the reference, because there are a number of calls made to it.
Would anyone happen to know where the termiox calls are defined under Linux?
The OS version is RHEL 5.5
The code which references the termiox libraries are just saying it to ignore termiox options:
/home/local/NT/jayanthv/8.7/CallBur/lib/unix.c(556): error: struct "<unnamed>" has no field "termiox"
if( modem_opt_ignore_termiox == No && ioctl( modem_handle, TCSETX, &mattr_current.termiox ) < 0 )
Should I just go ahead and add #if !defined() around the code?

A very good play balancing good fortune with bad luck
"To live in poverty is to exist in a war zone," award-winning Colonial Players director Edd Miller notes in the playbill for Good People. "Not necessarily with bullets and bombs but with situational choices of conscience."
Do choices pull people out of poverty? Determine our lot in life? Or is it luck? Or hard work? Pulitzer Prize winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire and Miller ask us not to decide but to consider.
The 2011 drama is set in South Boston, or Southie, in 1998, but its questions are timeless and beyond boundary.
To help us do that Lindsay-Abaire gives us Margie (with a hard "g"), a middle-aged single Southie mother who loses her job at a dollar store because she's always late, usually because her adult handicapped daughter can't be left alone. Margie doesn't want a handout, just a job that will pay the rent. To find that, she sets aside her ego and reluctantly asks help from her years-ago boyfriend Mikey, an Irish lace doctor who escaped from the neighborhood and got rich because … luck? Hard work? Choices?
Act I sets us up with the firing by young manager Stevie, with Margie and her friends Dottie and Jean urging her, sometimes hilariously, to look up Mikey. Turns out he has no work to offer. But he has an extravagant birthday party coming up, and Margie invites herself. When she hears by phone that the party is off because of a sick child she believes she is being disinvited lest she won't embarrass Mikey in front of his non-Southie friends. She goes anyway and is mistaken by Kate, Mikey's wife, for a caterer picking up dishes that weren't used because the party was indeed canceled.
Identities straightened out, Kate invites Margie to chat, much to Mikey's dismay. Now fly the slings and arrows of good fortune versus bad luck.
With Miller at the helm, this fine cast navigates the stream of comedy at the surface of much of this show while personifying the undercurrents of deception, despair and distrust. Shirley Panek gives us a Margie who shouldn't be likeable, but is, thanks to Panek's deft ability to deliver a stinging yet funny blow to the ego while allowing us to see the pain in her eyes. It is a riveting and emotional performance.
Likewise, Ben Carr takes Mikey beyond a caricature of a local boy who made good to a finely crafted multidimensional character who relishes his success but, under Margie's jealous glare, becomes so defensive that his own doubt about luck vs. work show through. Panek and Carr click, so for the audience Margie and Mikey do, too.
As Kate, Ashley Spooner does some navigating as an elite African-American inexperienced in the past lives of Mikey and Margie. Her Act II performance in a long, yet riveting, three-person scene moves from elitist to understanding as flaws in her husband and their marriage are revealed.
Karen Lambert's Jean and Bernadette Arvidson's Dottie are fine Southie friends, delivering hilarity that resonates with despair. As Stevie, the young store manager whose mother was the women's friend, Glen Pearson displays the nervousness of a character appearing as the cause of despair.
Director Miller's multi-use set cleverly moves from a store alley to a Southie house to a bingo hall to a well-off doctor's living room all with minimal movement — clear proof that in theater in the round, less is more. His cast keeps the pace moving, and each is clearly invested not only in what we see of their characters but also in what we can feel is so subtly moving under the surface.
Good People is very, very good.

Back to the '80s
To celebrate its 50th season bringing musical theater to Annapolis, Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre has chosen this summer to stage, in reverse order, The Producers, Rent … and The Wedding Singer. The Producers won 12 out of its 15 Tony nominations, setting the nominations record and joining the short list of musicals winning in every nominated category. Rent was nominated for 10 Tonys and won four, plus the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The Wedding Singer … five nominations, no wins and critical yawns.
The fact that The Wedding Singer was a loveable but mediocre 1998 movie didn't stop its writer, Tim Herlihy, from turning it into a loveable but mediocre 2006 Broadway show. It is, of course, set in the 1980s, and most of its purpose seems to be to remind us of that fact. Big hair, big music, big money and big names are tossed around like rice at the newlyweds — with results nothing near the quality of The Producers and Rent.
Yet a game and talented Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre cast answers the call of the decade with talent and humor that in more cases than not rises above the material.
In case you missed the movie, the plot is basic: Robbie Hart, a wedding singer, lives with his Grandma Rosie in Ridgefield, NJ. He's engaged to skanky waitress Linda but at a gig meets Julia, who herself is engaged to smarmy Wall Street banker Greg Guglia. Robbie promises to sing at Julia's wedding, Linda hilariously dumps Robbie at the altar — claiming she wants to marry not a mere wedding singer but a rock star — and Julia pines for Greg to pop the question.
As Robbie and Julia, Jamie Austin Jacobs and Hayley Briner (who splits the role on alternating weekends with Layne Seaman) generate chemistry and do some nice vocal work together, especially on the delightful Grow Old with You, which is carried over from the movie. Briner also delivers an upbeat, very '80s-like Someday, one of the few songs in this score you might leave the theater humming. And while Jacobs needs to remember that wearing a body mike doesn't negate the need to project when speaking, he's got the personality and presence, and certainly the singing voice, to make you forget Adam Sandler.
As Linda, Hannah Thornhill delivers attitude, punch and the vocal chops to match. In Let Me Come Home, she doesn't just beg to be taken back, she demands it … physically as well as emotionally, in a comic highlight of the show. Jeffrey Hawkins plays Julia's fiancée Glen with the right amount of Wall Street Gordon Gekko (look it up kids) and also displays a very nice voice on the greed is good message It's all About the Green. As Robbie's bandmates, Robbie Dinsmore as a wannabe Boy George and Fred Fletcher-Jackson as a wannabe Van Halen show solid comic timing. Ashley Gladden is Julia's cousin, a sassy, sexy Holly, whose Saturday Night in the City comes with a Flashdance finale. Even Grandma Rosie channels the '80s, with Phyllis J. Everette breaking into a very funny rap, Move that Thang. Members of a fine supporting ensemble effectively back up leaders with solid vocals, energetic dance and comic characters.
Director Mark Briner keeps the pace moving, as does the choreography of Becca Vourvoulas, and Ken Kimble's backstage orchestra hits all the right notes. Andrew Mannion's set design puts the fun in functional, and Lin Whetzel's costumes are full of '80s fun, with big shoulder pads and bigger colors (but why oh why does the Wall Street tycoon walk around in ratty jeans? Not even Guess?).
All in all, an invested and energetic cast and crew bring you a slick and rollicking evening. You won't cry at the romance, you might even groan at the references, but you'll also smile and tap your feet — especially if you lived through the decade that bored many of the people you're watching on the stage.
About two and one-half hours with one intermission.

Life, love and inspiration from a humble hiding place
The miracle of Anne's work is that no matter our background, it feels like she is talking directly to us. Indeed. Those are the words of Steve Tobin, the director of Compass Rose's beautifully constructed production of The Diary of Anne Frank. In the playbill's director's note, he goes on to say, "The triumph of her story is that more than 70 years later we are still telling it, and still being inspired to be better members of the human race." The wit and wisdom generated by a young teenager stuck for two years in the crowded upper rooms of her father's workplace in Amsterdam as the Nazis surrounded city blocks to ferret out Jews still resonate today because Anne's energy love for life and intelligence are timeless. But it was, of course, the extraordinary circumstances that make her diary, and its recovery, close to a miracle. At Compass Rose, Tobin and his cast and crew completely commit themselves to the universal truths of this story, and the result is an emotional, suspenseful and sometimes funny tale of life, love and inspiration. Mia Goodman is young, but her acting credentials are impressive even for an adult: Ford's Theatre, Arena Stage and Signature Theater, to name a few. Goodman pours every ounce of that impressive pedigree into her portrayal of Anne. She's a typical young teen, but with a depth of understanding of her situation that manifests itself not so much in fear as in optimism. When Hanukkah threatens to slip by uncelebrated but with a prayer, Anne comes to the rescue with a special homemade gift for each of her compatriots. In this scene and others, Goodman gives us an Anne whose buoyancy and love cannot be contained by her circumstances. When she writes in her diary she talks directly to the audience, and Goodman's depth as an actress, combined with her youth, make us believe she is indeed talking directly to each of us. Goodman's performance is, in a word, captivating. Her supporting cast achieves the same standard. As Mr. Frank, Steve Lebens is wise, understanding and brave in a very impressive performance. Alicia Sweeney gives us a Mrs. Frank who displays an inherent love and generosity that cracks when one of the other adults is caught stealing food. Jenny Donovan does a fine job as Anne's sister Margot. As Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan, the guests whom the Franks generously offered hiding, Bryant Centofanti and Jill Kyle-Keith are suitably contentious. Their son Peter is very nicely played by Eli Pendry, who subtly allows Peter's teenaged nervousness and awkwardness to wane as his friendship with Anne grows. Edd Miller is impressive as Mr. Dussel, the latecomer whose demanding crankiness melts into an acceptance of his situation and a love for the family who have taken him in. And Rachael Murray is effective as Miep, everyone's connection to the outside world. Helping transport us into a cramped 1940s hiding place are the multi-level set by Tobin, appropriate costumes by Beth Terranova, props by Joann and Mike Gidos and lighting by Alex Brady that is so emotionally effective it almost acts as another character. Anne Frank's words on the page are inspiring. In the hands of these outstanding performers, they, and we, are transformed. We understand how, despite her circumstances, she could write: "I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart."

Colonial Players presents a laugh-filled farce with Boeing, Boeing
French playwright Marc Camoletti's Boeing Boeing made a successful takeoff overseas in 1962, playing for seven years in London. But on Broadway three years later, it stalled after 23 performances. A movie version with Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis was widely ignored. But a 2008 Broadway revival was a hit, and that version has landed at Colonial Players in Annapolis.
Bernard (Brandon Bentley), an American living near Orly Airport in Paris, is juggling three fiancées, each an air hostess: Gloria (Debra Kidwell), the American; Gabriella (Sarah Wade), the Italian; and Gretchen (Rebecca Gift) the German. Making meticulous use of airline timetables and the complicity of his French housekeeper Berthe (Cece Mcgee-Newbrough), Bernard has managed smooth flying for his ruse.
Along for the bumpy ride comes Bernard's old pal Robert (Colin Hood), a nervous naïf from Wisconsin who can't believe his friend's luck in keeping "one up, one down and one pending." Robert finds himself more than a witness when the planes get faster and weather sets in. That's when the wit hits the fanjet, and the laughs start to soar.
As Bernard, Bentley knows how to deliver a punch line and lands several. But by overdoing his physicality, he seems to be trying too hard for a cool, calm lothario. His later breakdown as things … well, break down … is more believable, so perhaps he'll get comfortable with his sexy baritone and good looks and settle into the role more comfortably as the run progresses.
As Robert, Hood uses his comic chops to perfection, taking his jittery body and voice right to the edge of credulity and then stepping back just enough so that we not only believe him but also share a certain empathy. He lands a nice transition from nervous pal to would-be lothario.
As Berthe the housekeeper, Mcgee-Newbrough walks a similar comedic tightrope, balancing physical comedy and character without falling into caricature. Her lines are funny. but what she does with those lines is even funnier. Her almost silent but quite physical reaction when she first discovers that two of the fiancées have somehow infiltrated the flat at the same time is 15 seconds of comic angst that alone are worth the price of admission.
As the stewardesses, Kidwell, Gift and Wade shine. Wearing brilliantly colored stewardess costumes by designer Christina McAlpine, each maintains a credible accent and her own brand of clichéd character — but it's in the clichés that the comedy works.
Gretchen is the dominating German whose voice and body are whip smart and just as stinging. Gift maintains the dominatrix attitude with aplomb; a long early scene with Robert flies by as she and Hood circle and collide hilariously. Wade's cooing Italian and Kidwell's Betty Boop-like cosmo girl each commands her own entertaining niche, while still being brilliant at the ensemble work that the play demands.
Director Scott Nichols, who also chose the fun 1960s soundtrack, keeps the timing tight. Even on opening night there was nary a blip.
So fasten your seat belts, put your tray tables up and fly on over to Colonial for a laugh-filled flight to farce.

Reconsider what you think you know about relationships, sex and power
"Colonial Players might just want to bring playwright David Ives on as a resident artist. Last year, Ives' witty version of the 17th century French farce The Liar won the company the coveted Ruby Griffith Award from the British Embassy for best all-around production by a Washington-area community theater. Now, Venus in Fur — Ives' take on a stage version of Venus in Furs, the 1870 novel by Austrian author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch — is equally entertaining and a perfect fit for Colonial's intimate theater-in-the-round.
Yes, Sacher-Masoch is the man who, unwittingly, gave us the term masochism, and as this play within a play progresses, it's not easy for us as an audience to discern the difference between masochism and sadism. And that's the way Ives intends it.
Venus in Fur starts with thunder and lightning that portends the battle of the sexes we're about to see, as playwright/director Thomas Novacek, cranky and spent after a day auditioning actresses without any classical training or "a particle of brain in their skulls," is lamenting his plight on the phone with his fiancée. In walks young Vanda Jordan, profane, brash, beautiful and all wrong for the part. But she convinces Thomas to read her for the role, acting the male part himself, and we are off on a trip that is sometimes funny, sometimes disturbing, but always riveting.
Is it a coincidence that her name, Vanda, is the same as the character's (well, she admits, her name is Wanda but her parents always called her Vanda)? Is it just solid preparation that she comes with a big bag seemingly with a closetful of costumes, both his and hers, that are perfect for the roles? Is it coincidence that, after telling Thomas she quickly scanned the script's pages on the train ride over, she actually has it memorized?
As Thomas and Vanda, Jeff Mocho and Natalie Nankervis are a fine match. He is the slightly nerdy, khaki-clad writer trying to bring to life a book he finds as deep and full of meaning as the cultists who read it in 1879. She is the firestorm that rips through his smugness by calling the book soft-core porn.
Both actors do a fine job moving quickly from their characters into the characters in Thomas's play, with Nankervis especially effective switching off present-day Vanda's excitable vocal staccato and sliding right into what can best be called a seducing dominatrix — with her subject more than willing to be the submissive. Both are able to give us a laugh-out-loud line (and there are plenty) one minute, while the next draw us into the emotions and motivations of the modern and 1870 characters they are portraying. It's truly fine acting.
Set designer Ricardo Seijo has turned Colonial's stage into a very realistic yet generic New York rehearsal hall, complete with fluorescent lights and fire sprinkler pipes along the ceiling and a brick wall along one side with realistic sealed windows that hint at the color outside while simultaneously reminding us that we are captives to … what? The theatrical process? The director-actor dynamic? The degradation bestowed by a dominatrix?
Eric Lund's stark at one moment and ethereal the next; lighting and Ben Cornwell's sound add to the mystique that carries us from present day into 1870 and back. Kaelynn Miller's costumes for Vanda, meanwhile, might make even the most jaded of theatergoers feel just a touch voyeuristic … which is exactly what Vanda would want, of course.
If all this sounds like you're in for an evening of whips and chains, fear not. This is a finely crafted script, nominated for a Tony Award in 2012, brilliantly brought to life on Colonial's in-the-round stage by director Jim Gallagher and his stellar cast. Gallagher's deft directorial hand and the complete believability of Mocho and Nankervis carry us on a visual and emotional journey that has us questioning what we think we know about relationships, sex and power.
A funny, heartwarming holiday present from a local theater company that has been making Annapolis grateful for 67 years
Morning's at Seven could be dated or boring, this 1930s' play written about a quartet of aging sisters in Middle America. Instead, Annapolis veteran Rick Wade's deft direction combines with a timeless script by playwright Paul Osborn and some of this area's most experienced actors to make us laugh while tugging at our heartstrings.
The family is sure to remind you of your own, especially at this time of year. Cora and Thor (Lois Evans and Mike Dunlop) live next to her sister Ida (Carol Cohen) and Ida's husband Carl (Duncan Hood). Aaronetta (Dianne Hood) the old maid, lives with Cora and Thor. Esther (Sharie Valerio) and her husband David (Greg Anderson) live nearby. Homer (Paul Valleau), Ida and Carl's son, has been engaged to Myrtle (Sherri Millan) for seven years but hasn't yet introduced her to the family.
It's a cast whose experience and commitment to their roles create interplay and chemistry that reminds us consistently of what it's like to laugh with family members one minute and hate them the next. Love never fades, but it does go into hiding.
The love among these sisters is palpable, and their frustrations are tangible. Evans' Cora is the leader of the pack, her maturity and big sisterly attitude enduring even when her little sisters are in their late 60s and early 70s. Cohen's Ida is a nerve-wracked wife trying to figure out why Carl keeps having "spells." Duncan Hood gives us a Carl whose spells are manifested in his entire comedic body; yet his comedic mastery never gets in the way of the empathy we feel with a man of age who doubts where he's been and where he ought to be going. Similarly, Dianne Hood gives us an Aaronetta who wonders what she's missed by remaining single — while harboring a secret that might explain why she made the choice so many years ago.
As the edgy 40-something who has been engaged for years but can't seem to pull the trigger, Paul Valleau makes Homer a combination of Ida and Carl, physically funny without crossing into caricature. Valleau's work here is splendid and matched by Millan's nicely underplayed Myrtle.
Anderson's David, who hates it when his wife Esther visits her sisters, does a nice job as the rigid in-law who looks down on the rest of the family. We've all experienced those, right?
The heart of this play is the four sisters; Valerio, Evans, Cohen and Hood work so well together that it's easy to believe they're related. These talented actresses convey the pathos and commitment needed to make us care as much as if we were sitting at Osborn's premiere. I can't get too much into the plot because it wraps up with a few nice surprises; suffice it to say that Morning's at Seven is written and performed timelessly.
One quibble: When a play set in 1930s middle America focuses on sisters in their late 60s and early to mid 70s, it's a distraction to see three of the four with auburn-dyed hair. Fact is, in the 1930s getting one's hair dyed was a long, painful and expensive process, typically undertaken by younger women who were often looked down upon for doing it … except for the platinum-haired movie stars who literally bleached their hair. At least a hint of gray would have been more real in a cast of older women playing older women.
But as I say, that's a quibble. It doesn't take away from the acting, from the relationships we are privileged to witness and the overall feeling that Morning's at Seven gives us, especially during this time of year when family is the focus.
Top-notch acting and direction, a beautiful backyard set complete with tree limbs hanging from the ceiling, sharp lighting and a nice musical score all combine to make Morning's at Seven a funny, heartwarming treat. It's a nice holiday present from a local theater company that has been making Annapolis grateful for 67 years.
Whodunnit? Ask the audience
When Charles Dickens died 145 years ago this month, he left behind an unfinished novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Release was scheduled in a dozen installments between 1870 and 1871, but he finished only six. Afterward, it became a bit of a cottage industry to take on the novel's completion, including deciding which of Dickens' characters was responsible for the murder of the title character. Would-be Dickens met with varying levels of success. One that turned out quite well is the version that kicks off Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre's 50th season.
With book, music and lyrics by Rupert Holmes (earworm warning: Holmes is perhaps best known for his 1979 hit "Escape … The Piña Colada Song"), the show debuted in 1985 and won Holmes five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book and Best Original Score. Lighter and broader than the novel, this musical Drood's action and audience are in an old-time English music hall, a show-within-a-show complete with emcee and cast playing not Dickens' characters but music hall performers playing Dickens' characters.
And what characters they are, an English town's worth of winking whackies, led by a triad of top talent. David Merrill has a great time as John Jasper, Drood's schizoid uncle and choirmaster. Paige Miller is the sincere ingénue Rosa Bud, Drood's betrothed after whom Jasper lusts. Emily Lentz is Drood in a traditional cross-dressing role. All three have wonderful voices, and Merrill's and Miller's especially soar on the operatic "The Name of Love and Moonfall," sung after he confesses his love for her.
As the proprietor of the Music Hall Royale, Erik Alexis excitedly introduces us to the actors and their characters and guides us through the story with old jokes and a fine voice. His duet with Merrill on "Both Sides of the Coin," a 100mph patter-song romp through an actor's confusion when playing two parts, is a highlight of the night.
As the newcomers from Ceylon, Casey Lynne Garner and DJ Wojciehowski stir things up nicely as siblings Helena and Neville Landless. Wendell Holland's Reverend Crisparkle is perhaps not the upstanding man of the cloth he wants us to believe. As Princess Puffer, an opium den denizen, Maribeth Vogel offers up a fine "The Garden Path to Hell" in describing how a boyfriend turned her to a life of sleaze. Several other fine characters anchor the show, including Ethan Goldberg as Durdles, the usually drunk stonemason, and Stephanie Bernholz, doing a fine job with the stick puppet that plays Durdles' Deputy.
Connecting all of these characters to the plot might take more space than allotted here, so let's just say that when Drood ends up murdered, there are plenty of suspects, plus a new character who comes on to investigate. This being a musical based on Dickens' version of Drood rather than the brooding, dark and incomplete novel, it's all tied up with a happy ending. Several, in fact.
Whodunnit? You get to decide.
The music is timeless as life imitates art
Is it life imitates art? Or art imitates life? Either way, when Kiss Me, Kate hit Broadway back in 1948, winning a Tony Award, it marked the first time that Cole Porter's music and lyrics integrated into a stage story, moving beyond showcasing Porter's clever musical banter to pushing the story along. The story, told in show-within-a-show technique, is the on-and-offstage comedy of errors of the producer, director and star of musical version of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, Fred Graham, his ex-wife and costar Lilli Vanessi, and a comic cast with some very fine voices.
Brian Binney nails Fred's egoism, has a fine voice and cavorts across the stage with a jumpiness that mirrors his desperation to ensure that the show goes on. He is desperately trying to keep Lilli from quitting after she discovers his lust for Lois Lane, the sexy young actress whose boyfriend owes some very bad men some very big bucks. As Lilli, Brenda D. Parker is as convincingly egotistical as Fred. She has a powerhouse voice that is flexible enough to move from ballad to comedic in a matter of measures. As Lois and Bill, her boyfriend in arrears, Amy Greco and Nathan Bowen give us a pair of sure-footed hoofers and singers who seem born to the stage of old, whose attractions were soft shoe and solid voices, not special effects and remakes.
The story is frantic and funny, but it's the classic Porter songs that keep the audience — at least those of a certain age or interest in Broadway history — thinking a-ha at recognizing tunes that turned out to be timeless. The hit parade starts with the company announcing "Another Op'nin', Another Show." As the parade passes by, we're mesmerized by Parker's beautiful "So in Love" and riotous "I Hate Men," Greco's and Bowen's "Why Can't You Behave?" and, opening Act II, Jared Shamberger's turn as Paul energetically leading the company through a very nicely choreographed "Too Darn Hot." Special mention to the bassist in the orchestra — either Jeff Eckert or Steve Hudgins in the program — who plucks a very jazzy accompaniment on the latter.
Other chestnuts, from "Wunderbar" by Binney and Parker to Greco's "Always True to You in My Fashion," keep the parade of hits coming. When two toughies, played by Josh Hampton and Michael Iacone, show up trying to collect from Bowen's Bill and end up a part of the cast, they bring a cool liveliness to the goings-on that culminates in a hilarious "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" that seems to go on forever — and deserves to.
Costumes by Linda Swann are colorful and fun. Director Roy Hammond and choreographer Rikki Howie Lacewell keep the pace moving. Stage manager Joanne D. Wilson keeps the scene changes short. The live orchestra led by Joe Biddle does a nice job moving the music without overpowering the singers, quite an accomplishment when an orchestra of more than a dozen is playing in a relatively small 155-seat venue like Bowie Playhouse.
2nd Star's Kiss Me, Kate brings us old Broadway that's as good as new. It's comedy, romance and music that were built to last. Judging by the vitality of 2nd Star's production, tickets likely won't.
Set to music, Oscar Wilde is twice as funny
It's ironic that when Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest premiered in 1895, many critics loved its humor but were taken aback at its lightness, its refusal to take on heavy social or political issues of the time, as most dramas had done. The irony is that it's exactly this drive to escape the heavy responsibilities of "position" that impel Jack Worthing to create an alter ego, Ernest, through whom Jack can live a life untethered by the demands of position.
Even so, Wilde's Earnest was quickly acclaimed one of his greatest works, and certainly his greatest comedy, one that moved the audience to laughter consistently and whose dialogue and characters rang so true that even today the plot seems as likely as life. Take this thespian froth, add music that stays true to the times and the story, and you end up with the hilarious hit that The Colonial Players of Annapolis is displaying on its in-the-round stage through May 16.
Director Rick Wade — a long-time directing, acting and playwright veteran of Colonial Players (Wade wrote the book for the group's version of A Christmas Carol, a three-decade Annapolis tradition) — knows just how to make the most of that stage. Along with set and floor designer Edd Miller and lighting designer Frank Florentine, Wade turns Colonial's theater into a garden of comedy, with pastel flowers lining the walls behind the audience, a floor just as beautiful, lights constantly in motion and set pieces cleverly rearranged during quickly choreographed scene changes ranging from London flats to a country garden.
Worthing, played by Eric Hufford, and his pal Algernon, played by Steven Baird, have a nice camaraderie on stage, giving the little digs that friends do. When Algernon, whose cousin Gwendolyn Jack is in love with, figures out Jack's Ernest ruse, the plot takes off. It's a plot that, because of Wilde's intricacy with words and humor, requires direction that keeps the pace moving. In turn, the cast must have the talent to not only portray these characters brightly but also to reject the temptation to allow the pace to trip up a basic acting requirement: The audience must hear and understand you, especially in the round, when the actor is always facing away from at least one section of the audience. This cast gets the job done.
From the impossible patter of "A Handbag Is Not a Proper Mother" to the round of "My Eternal Devotion," some very nice voices are on display here. But never does the music take precedence over the comedy.
This is a stellar cast. Erica Jureckson as Gwendolyn and Sarah Wade as Cecily, the young ward of Worthing, work very well together, especially when singing "My Very First Impression," an irony about their ability to size up a man on first glance. Greg Jones as Lane, Worthing's valet, is top-notch and in fine voice in "You Can't Make Love," with Sherri Millan's servant girl Effie, about the many burdens of upper classdom that prevent their enjoying … ahem … life to its fullest. As Gwendolyn's mother Lady Bracknell, Barbara Bartos is the picture of rigid elitism in that "handbag" song and throughout. And as Miss Prism and Dr. Chasuble, Dianne and Duncan Hood get plenty of laughs but serve up a touching dose of mature puppy love as well as dance around their feelings for each other in "Metaphorically Speaking."
There are others, including several smaller characters who do double duty keeping the scene changes brisk, often getting their own tee-hees. The bottom line here is every audience's top priority in a comedy: Keep things moving, and make us laugh. They do, and you will.

Bold choices — for these homesteaders and Bowie Community Theatre
Since the mid-1960s, Bowie Community Theatre's bread and butter has been mysteries, comedies and classics. Still, it has never shied away from taking on lesser-known material with depth and message. It has found such a gem in Pearl Cleage's 1995 production Flyin' West. This is a beautifully written piece that brings to life the oft-ignored story of how former slaves in 1898 moved west — Kansas, in this case — toward a life of self-dependence.
A small story with a big impact, Flyin' West demands actors who can plow the depths of their characters' pasts to bring us dual realities. On the one hand, that's what they lived as slaves. On the other, it's the hope they feel as they simultaneously work to make their town of Nicodemus an enduring success and ward off speculators who see dollar signs across the acres.
Director Estelle Miller has assembled a cast that makes us feel the warmth and love they have for each other, their determination to create a town that will prosper and the indignities of having darker skin at a time when whites had no legal barrier preventing them from committing all sorts of abuse.
More specifically, this is a story of four very strong African American women, with a cast doing justice to each. It all takes place at the home of Sophie Washington and Fannie Dove, 30-something homesteaders who have opened their home to Leah, their 70-something neighbor whom they do not want to be alone during the oncoming winter.
As Leah, Sandra Cox True gives us the past: several very touching monologues about what it was like being a female slave who had another slave forced on her to bring healthy male children to the plantation. Her story about that first time, at age 13 — and subsequent stories about the babies being taken away — are heartbreakingly real. Yet True also gives us some wonderfully funny and dry responses in her back-and-forth with the other characters … including the story of how she learned to bake an especially tart apple pie.
As Fannie, Lolita Marie gives us the present. She bickers with Sophie, flirts with neighbor Wil Parish and seems to have aspirations of ensuring that the hardscrabble homesteader's life doesn't preclude having some of the finer things; she made sure their fine china went with them from Memphis to Nicodemus. Marie's Fannie is gentle and perceptive.
As Sophie, Kecia Campbell gives us a taste of the future as the strong-willed visionary whose singular purpose in life is to leave behind the past and forge ahead by doing all she can to ensure that Nicodemus remains in the hands of her people. She plans the layout of the town just as she plans her own future, and Campbell's characterization is spot on. She has no intention of playing second fiddle to anyone, whether a slave overseer or the male-dominated society she faces.
Brawnlyn Blueitt plays younger sister Minnie with appropriate innocence and tentativeness, growing stronger as she and her baby survive the abuses of her husband. Hard to believe this is Blueitt's stage debut.
Neighbor Wil is the good guy neighbor who would do anything to help the women, especially Fannie. Darius McCall is quite appealing; his Wil is a touch dimmer than the others, but his loyalty and strength manifest when the time comes for him to be the protector.
Frank is Minnie's husband. A mulatto born of a white man and a slave mother, Ben Harris walks a bit of an acting tightrope as Frank. The character as written threatens to fall into cliché: frustrated self-hating drunk gambler who hits his wife and wants to sell their land. But Cleage doesn't quite allow Frank to cross that line, and Harris's performance, while potent, is subtle enough to make us believe Frank's self-loathing and explosiveness.
It all takes place on a beautifully realized set of a see-through house by set designer Dan Lavagan, lit nicely by Bowie Playhouse veteran pro Garrett Hyde. The pace on opening night was occasionally tentative, both with the actors' lines and long scene changes, all of which are sure to tighten up as the run progresses.
One can hope: the show started at 8pm. Act I ran 1.5 hours, and it all ended about 10:50. Nearly three hours is long even for a musical, much less a straight play. But that's a minor caveat considering the importance of this story.
This brilliant script brought to life by riveting performances adds another chapter to how the West was won.
Playing thru April 25: FSa 8pm; 2pm Sa April 18 and Su April 19: Bowie Community Theatre, White Marsh Park, Bowie; $20 w/discounts; rsvp: 301-805-0219; bctheatre.com.

how do I reset my Officejet 6500 printer to factory defaults
My Officejet 6500 E709n seems to "go to sleep". After it has not been used for a few days, I have to remove power and restore power to it for it to be recognized on my wireless network. The power button has no effect when it is in this sleep mode, and the blue network light is dark, After removing and restoring power manyally, it 'comes back to life' and all is well. Therefore, I would like to reset my Officejet 6500 E709n to factory defaults to see if that would solve my problem.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit with all current updates. All HP softwares are up to date. My router is an AT&T Residentual Gateway, 2wire model 3801HGV. I do not know how long this has been happening.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi there,
A full factory reset may not be required. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!
Re: how do I reset my Officejet 6500 printer to factory defaults
Can you check the wireless settings and see if IPv6 is turned on?
Are there other computers on your wireless network that have IPv6 enabled?
It has been my experience that, depending on the hardware, router, etc. that IPv6 can really mess things up. You can go check out a blog article I wrote on this very subject The Case of the Vanishing Internet. Though a bit dated, the advice is still good.
Post back and let us all know what worked!

Episode List
Season 1
Keisha and Natella become fierce competitors for a cultural diversity prize at Bromwell High (even though there isn't actually a prize).

As the teachers quit one by one, Iqbal and Mr. Bibby look for less expensive ways of replacing them. Meanwhile, Natella pursues her inner musician, and a visiting school supervisor decides it's time to place Keisha in a special school.
3 Jan. 2005Fire Drill

3 Aug. 2005Valentine's Day
Bromwell High celebrates Valentines Day however Natella tries to sway everyone to her belief that it's a meaningless marketing event that judges a person by appearance however her beliefs change when Davis (the coolest boy in school)seemingly puts a Valentine card in her box.
15 Mar. 2005Goodbye Mr. Crisps
Money is needed to raise money in order to solve Bromwell High's financial crisis, so when Natella introduces the headmaster to her new friend, Katie, who she met at the National Science Competition, he is delighted to learn just how much some children's parents are willing to pay for a decent education and makes major school changes so he can personally profit from it.
22 Mar. 2005Baby Boom
Latrina's mother has given birth to Mr.Bibby's child however Mr.Bibby doesn't want the child and Latrina is stuck for a way to get it off of her hands.

29 Mar. 2005Sack Race

19 Apr. 2005Drama Queen

26 Apr. 2005Sweets

Occipital Nerve Stimulation
Occipital nerve stimulation, or ONS, is a type of peripheral nerve stimulation that involves stimulation of the occipital nerves using an implanted electrical device. (Occipital nerves emerge from the spinal column at the base of the neck and extend beneath the scalp, where they transmit most of the feeling at the back and top of the head.) ONS is frequently used for treatment of severe migraine headaches (for this indication it is now officially approved in Europe), occipital neuralgia, cluster headaches and other difficult-to-treat pain conditions that involve the head and neck. It is also being investigated for treatment of pain in patients with fibromyalgia.

The aim of this work is to study the risk of childhood acute leukemia (AL) around French nuclear power plants (NPPs). The nationwide Geocap case–control study included the 2,753 cases diagnosed in mainland France over 2002–2007 and 30,000 contemporaneous population controls. The last addresses were geocoded and located around the 19 NPPs. The study used distance to NPPs and a dose-based geographic zoning (DBGZ), based on the estimated dose to bone marrow related to NPP gaseous discharges. An odds ratio (OR) of 1.9 [1.0–3.3], based on 14 cases, was evidenced for children living within 5 km of NPPs compared to those living 20 km or further away, and a very similar association was observed in the concomitant incidence study (standardized incidence ratio (SIR) = 1.9 [1.0–3.2]). These results were similar for all the 5-year-age groups. They persisted after stratification for several contextual characteristics of the municipalities of residence. Conversely, using the DBGZ resulted in OR and SIR close to one in all of the dose categories. There was no increase in AL incidence over 1990–2001 and over the entire 1990–2007 period. The results suggest a possible excess risk of AL in the close vicinity of French NPPs in 2002–2007. The absence of any association with the DBGZ may indicate that the association is not explained by NPP gaseous discharges. Overall, the findings call for investigation for potential risk factors related to the vicinity of NPP and collaborative analysis of multisite studies conducted in various countries.

Kitty Cat Diary 121 by Lunatique-SFWatch
©2009-2016 Lunatique-SF
This is a shot I took of Elena (my wife) on the day she got her U.S. green card.
SHE is look like princess ruu that you paint for the screenplay Terullian sky"
you deamn lucky bastard!
your beautiful!
You got it going on!
Nice shot! Very beautiful woman too!!! Princes
Wow, your wife is sure beautiful, congratulations [on the photograph and for you]
oh my god, you are amazing wonderfull
I've always liked your photography best of all, and I love the Kitty Cat Diary. Elena looks great here - very serene, and what a Mona Lisa smile! The light is very pretty and natural.
Thank you. It's rarely for people to prefer somethings else I do besides painting. Every once a while I get people telling me that they prefer my writing or music or photography, but 90% of the time it's my paintings they like the most. I really want to turn that around--I want everything else I do to "catch up" to my paintings. Personally, I think I'm best as a storyteller--everything else I do are only there to serve my storytelling.
Digital painting has gained a certain celebrity quality among artists (at least online) these days that the other arts like writing or photography haven't quite caught up with. It's certainly how I discovered you, but I'm a nosy creature - I like looking at everything my favourite artists are doing. That and the fact that it tells a casual, day to day story is probably why I like the KC Diary so much. I tend to think in stories, or scenes too, but painting in the best skill I currently have to express it. Although one day I'd like to try my hand at filmmaking and see what I can do.

JJB's Biggest Landlord Supports Restructuring, Times Reports
JJB Sports Plc's biggest landlord, Hammerson Plc, is supporting the retailer's proposed company voluntary arrangement designed to keep it afloat, the Sunday Times said, citing an interview with a Hammerson executive.
JJB is seeking to close as many as 89 stores and halve rents to stay solvent, the newspaper said. Lawrence Hutchings, Hammerson's managing director for retail, said the company was "comfortable" with JJB's plans, according to the Times.

Lovely little town, love the painted houses in this region that I come across your various pages.
My friends mother use to live in Weilheim and she was the one that taught me to speak German.
Seems like a nice little place to stay if you do not want to stay in Munich itself.
good start, in this area everything is beautiful!
Seems to be a nice little place. Maybe I can visit it some day.
Hope to go back there one day, lovely place

The Art School

It has taken me a long time to write this post. A very long time. It must have been two months ago, or more even, when I visited "this school." My research materials and brochures, tape recordings, photos, and recollections; they have all sat there, day in and day out, mocking me. Daring me to try to put into words that which I could never hope to express. Challenging me

Cheap stuffLooks can be deceptive. I ordered this item about two weeks ago from Flipkart. I expected it to be of matte finish (based on the picture here) and the plastic to be thick. Instead the plastic is not very thick (to have a strong finish) and it is glossy. It feels like cheap plastic for its price.

I was wondering how a big company make a barcode system? Are there any barcode databases off the web that I could just download as a whole? And once I had one where would I go to update the already existing database?
How do companies like walmart,target etc. update there barcode scanner systems? or create a barcode system? [closed]
closed as not a real question by Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007, Traveling Tech Guy, Keltari, Brad Patton, Tog May 3 '13 at 6:37
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Yes there are, take a look at question asked on StackOverflow: Database of commercial barcodes
It is all about ready-made databases. However, every company must decide how they do it, there's many paths to the goal and methods often depends on predefined requirements.
It seems that http://gepir.gs1.org has comprehensive database but I dont know if it is open for anyone. See another link for more of them.
They might "load" data from list of received goods :) Usually there's someone doing inquiries and orders, that guy already works on product database and therefore may as well enter new, update existing and remove obsolote data to/from database.
Final words...
There is no just one correct path to achieve so broad goal. Maybe you could provide some more information by edinting your question and explaining better what are you trying to accomplish.

Crew Cut: Family Business
After featuring The DONZ Family Crew in a recent Crew Cut edition, we came upon a couple of Crews cut from the same pin-striped cloth, including the illustrious Financed and Corrupt (FNCO). Their recruitment vid, which features The Godfather's classic theme and shows off their trademark red and black on everything from three piece suits to freshly painted Vapid Peyotes, sends a clear message to all of greater Los Santos that they are not to be crossed.
Speaking of mafiosi, the MADE OF STEEL MOS (1MOS) is all business, gravely warning "Don't mess with our money or our family". In contrast, the crimson-striped Based MOBB (MOBB) Crew appears to take a lighter approach to the whole la famiglia thing - by the looks of things on their Snapmatic page they seem to be mostly about the fun, but mess with them and you might get burned.
MOBB wear the masks of red death.
The Richkidzz (RICH) Crew are mobbing in their own unique way, rocking their signature orange getups like a modern-day GTA Online chain gang. Commissioner thaforce wrote to us with great pride in the photos they've been taking, confident they were strong enough to be featured here in the Crew Cut. Feel your Crew should be represented? Give us a shout and convince us why at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Blood orange. The Richkidzz at various stages.
Most Crews have at least that one member with an itchy iFruit finger, eagerly out to capture every mission and ill moment to post to Snapmatic and/or Instagram. The Pack of parasites (1124) Crew have quite the active leader and lensman in 3rdeyeopen47, whose Instagram is solely dedicated to Crew drift action.
The Grave Reapers MC (GRMC) Crew, known for pushing iron horses above and beyond, have been taking the same approach with their own Instagram feed as seen in some selections below:
Commissioner TDSpiral of The Crystal Moth (MOTH) Crew released on deviantART this impressive GTA-artwork-style original illo in honor of his squad.
Crews have been out in full force at the first couple of GTA Online Social Club Event weekends - check out some party photos snapped during the #VespucciBeachParty and the recent Social Club #CreatorWeekend Event.
Vespucci Beach Partygoers. From left: The Asylum MC (SYLM) Crew a rockin on top of the new Paradise van; the Public Enemy GALICIA (PEGA) Crew salute with panache; and the SN1-SN26 (SN26) Crew are the most frightening thing to happen to the conga line since Buster Poindexter.
Crews styling during the most recent Social Club Event. From left: Joe_Dirt_Yall captured some of his Reapers - LosSantos (ROLS) Crew having a blast; GTA Paris (7593) Crew Leader sebbob93's usual unobstructed city view out of his apartment window just got blocked by one of his Crew-mates hoisting a Canis Bodhi with a Cargobob; mathduf27 and a couple other members of the Saguenay (SAGS) Crew of Quebec in festive red and green duds.
The Social Club Crew community has been on a hot streak with stellar videos as of late. The GamerFuzion (GMRF) Crew captured their very first time in Survival mode. If you have yet to test the waves, this run through at the Railyard is a nice introduction. For even more guidance, look to HikeTheGamer and his group of compatriots the LANDED IT (HIKE) Crew below for a fun capture of an epic live-stream session they had filled with custom car flexing and wanton destruction.
