Flat Rock Playhouse's 'A Few Good Men': Courthouse again a star
Published: Friday, October 1, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 30, 2010 at 6:38 p.m.
For its second big production in the Historic Henderson County Courthouse this year, Flat Rock Playhouse will present "A Few Good Men" for three weeks this month in downtown Hendersonville.
Want to go?
What: "A Few Good Men," produced by Flat Rock Playhouse at the Historic Courthouse in downtown Hendersonville
When: Wednesday through Saturday nights at 8 and matinee performances most Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m.
Tickets: $34 with limited seating in the courtroom. To purchase tickets or information about specific shows, call the Playhouse box office at 693-0731, toll-free at 866-732-8008 or online at www.flatrockplayhouse.org.
"A Few Good Men" opens Wednesday and runs through Oct. 31.
Written by Aaron Sorkin, the author of television's "The West Wing" and a host of successful movies, "A Few Good Men" was a Broadway success long before it became a film starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kevin Pollack and Kiefer Sutherland.
The screenplay tells the story of military lawyers at a court-martial who uncover a high-level conspiracy in the course of defending two U.S. Marines accused of murder. As tensions mount between the three defense lawyers, the play raises the question of what it really means to have honor, dignity and humanity in an increasingly complex world.
"A Few Good Men" details a battle to discover the truth amid deceit and deception.
Following on the heels of the very successful production of "12 Angry Men," the Historic Henderson County Courthouse will provide a fitting backdrop for Sorkin's intense courtroom drama. The first act will take place in the courthouse community room. During intermission, the audience and cast will transfer to the historic courtroom for the second act.
"The uniqueness of using the community room for the first act is pretty central to the dramatic effect of the play," says director Vincent Marini. "The room will be completely transformed from a utilitarian room into a much more intimate experience for the audience. This will be one of the few times where the audience will actually be so close that they feel like they are a part of the show."
The Playhouse has cast a mix of local and New York talent for the production. Returning from "The 39 Steps" is Jim Sorensen in the role of Lt. David Kaffe. Returning from the "Twelve Angry Men" cast are Ralph Redpath (Capt. Julius Alexander Randolph), Kevin McKee (Capt. Matthew A. Markinson) and Nathan Thomas (Pfc. William T. Santiago). Also in the show is Dustin Brayley (Cpl. Jeffrey Owen Howard) from "For the Glory" and "Here There and Everywhere: An Evening with the Beatles," as well as Playhouse regular Damian Duke Domingue (Lt. Jonathan James Kendrick), who is reprising his role from the '93 Playhouse production. Also locally cast: James Faucett (Cmdr. Walter Stone), the executive director of Henderson County's Arts Council and Eric English (Pfc. Louden Downey) a YouTheatre Conservatory student who is at West Henderson High School.
The cast also includes: Eleanor Handley (Lt. Cmdr. Joanne Galloway), a classically trained Australian actress; James Holloway (Lance Cpl. Harold W. Dawson) a graduate of Pennsylvania's Valley Forge Military Academy and featured in the current HBO film "The Roe Effect"; Brian Lafontaine (Lt. j.g. Sam Weinberg) who was featured in this summer's "Drop Dead Diva" on Lifetime Television; Kelley Hinman (Capt. Isaac Whitaker) a recent transplant from Los Angeles to Asheville; Charles F. Wagner IV (Lt. Col. Nathan Jessep) a New York actor who regularly works with the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival in Raleigh; Chris Allison (Lt. Jack Ross) who has performed as a guest artist with Blue Ridge Community College, SART and NC Stage; Joshua Looney (MP) from Charlotte; and Regan McLellan (MP) a recent graduate from the Playhouse's Apprentice program.
Special events
Two special events are planned during the run of "A Few Good Men" downtown.
On Oct. 11, the Henderson County Heritage Museum and Flat Rock Playhouse extend an invitation to the community to attend a reception celebrating the opening of the new exhibit, "Flat Rock Playhouse — A Legacy." The exhibit pays homage to the State Theatre of North Carolina — its leaders, its productions and its historical significance to Henderson County.
The reception is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Historic Henderson County Courthouse. The gathering will begin on the front steps and move into the courthouse rotunda for refreshments and tours of the Heritage Museum. To RSVP, call the box office of Flat Rock Playhouse at 693-0731.
Later that week, Millers Fine Dry Cleaning and Flight Wood Grill & Wine Bar will sponsor a celebration commemorating the 235th birthday of the U.S. Navy on Oct. 13 during the evening performance of "A Few Good Men."
The event will honor Donald Marcari as a special guest. The character of Kafee, played by Tom Cruise in the movie, is based on Marcari.
Sorkin was inspired to write the courtroom drama after a conversation with his sister who, as part of the Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG), was to defend a group of Marines in Guantanamo Bay who came close to killing a fellow Marine in a hazing ordered by a superior officer. One of the three military lawyers assigned to the case was Marcari. The court-martial was Macari's first big court case. Retired from the Navy, Marcari now practices law in North Carolina and Virginia.

I imported posts into WP. The photos for these old posts are stored in a folder called "images", which I uploaded to my wordpress root.
The posts have simple html relative paths for the photos, such as <img src="images/example.jpg">
The photos show up on my home page (the path reads as "mysite.com/images/example.jpg"), but disappear in each post, as the post is looking for "mysite.com/postname/images/example.jpg".
How can I get the paths within the posts to drop the postname?

HTTPNetworkSniffer is a tiny, free, portable tool which can record and display http (but not https) exchanges between a browser and web server.
The program provides plenty of detail on every request: the host name, method, path, user agent, response and response string, content type, refer, content and transfer encodings, server, content length and a whole lot more. And so this could be very useful for web developers trying to troubleshoot low-level page issues.
But regular web users may benefit from HTTPNetworkSniffer, too. If you're curious to discover the link to a particular video you're watching on a site, for instance, it may be listed in the HTTPNetworkSniffer report; paste that into a download manager and you might be able to grab a local copy, even if the site doesn't provide a specific download button.
However you're using it, the program is, like all NirSoft tools, highly compatible. It runs on all versions of Windows, 32 and 64-bit, from 2000 upwards. And as well as working with WinPCap and Microsoft's own network monitor, it can also use Raw Sockets, although these don't work everywhere. And if you're running Windows 7 or higher with UAC active then you'll need to run the program as an administrator for this to work (right-click the executable, select Run As Administrator).
Version 1.55:
Added 2 HTTP request columns: 'Accept' and 'Range'.
A simple packet sniffer tool which can give you an in-depth look at the conversation between you and any web server

network reaching more parts of Dunedin.
Chorus confirmed this week its plans for the third year of
its UFB plans would include building the network in parts of
Halfway Bush, Kaikorai, Kenmure, St Clair and Mosgiel, from

UFB, including Waiuku, Pukekohe, Gisborne, Feilding, Levin,
Kapiti, Upper Hutt and Greymouth.
"We're building momentum, with 62,000 customers already in
reach of fibre services today, and some 240 crews working
across the country.
"With the deployment well under way, Chorus is taking the
next step working with local councils, communities and the
industry to build excitement around the benefits fibre can
deliver for residents and businesses," Mr Dyhrberg said.
Chorus was now working on its UFB plans beyond 2014. and
would share these with the industry and local councils.

Schnitzler syndrome
What is Schnitzler syndrome?
Schnitzler syndrome is the association of:
Schnitzler syndrome is rare. It was named after a French dermatologist, Dr Liliane Schnitzler, who described the condition in 1972.
What causes Schnitzler syndrome?
The cause of Schnitzler syndrome is unknown. Alterations in the cytokine network have been reported. Interleukin 1 alpha binding activity has been described in some patients with Schnitzler syndrome. Interleukin 1 alpha is a cytokine or inflammatory mediator and could explain some of the inflammatory symptoms of the syndrome. A few patients have been described with a mutation in the gene NLRP3.
Patients with Schnitzler syndrome may present to dermatologists, haematologists, rheumatologists and general physicians because of the variety of possible symptoms. The diagnosis is often delayed.
Clinical features of Schnitzler syndrome
Urticaria (hives) describes red raised patches of skin. These are rarely itchy in Schnitzler syndrome, unlike ordinary urticaria. Weals may last longer than ordinary urticaria, often persisting for 12 hours to 3 days. A skin biopsy may or may not show features of urticarial vasculitis. Angioedema (deep swelling) may also occur in some patients.
Skin biopsy may show a neutrophil-rich infiltrate.
Arthritis / arthralgia
Painful joints (arthralgia) or swollen joints (arthritis) occur in 80% of patients. Some patients experience bone pain.
Intermittent fever up to 40C affects 90% of patients with Schnitzler syndrome. The fever may be accompanied by chills and night sweating.
Organomegaly refers to enlarged internal organs, i.e., large lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy) in 40% of patients, and enlarged liver and spleen (hepatosplenomagaly) in 30%.
Haematological abnormalities
The main haematological (blood) abnormality of Schnitzler syndrome is monoclonal gammopathy. This usually means a raised level of immunoglobulin M (IgM) but raised immunoglobulin G (IgG) or combinations of IgM and IgA or IgM and IgG have also been reported. Bone marrow tests are normal in 80% at the time of diagnosis.
Other haematological abnormalities in Schnitzler syndrome may include:
- Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
- Lowered complement levels (C4)
- Anaemia of chronic disease
- Thrombocytosis (raised platelet count)
- Neutrophilic leucocytosis (raised neutrophil white blood cells)
Prognosis of Schnitzler syndrome
Schnitzler syndrome is a chronic condition, and it has not been reported to resolve. Although symptoms can be a nuisance, the condition does not lead to serious disease in the majority of patients. However about 15% of patients progress to a lymphoproliferative disorder such as Waldenström macroglobulinemia or B-cell lymphoma. In Schnitzler's original case the patient died aged 88 years with diffuse "lymphoplasmacytic malignancy" after 20 years of follow up.
Long term review by a specialist is recommended.
What is the treatment for Schnitzler syndrome?
Anakinra is an effective treatment for Schnitzler syndrome. It is an interleukin 1 antagonist, registered to treat rheumatoid arthritis (not yet subsidised for autoinflammatory diseases in New Zealand [2015]). In Schnitzler syndrome, anakinra 100 mg/day allows a complete control of all symptoms including:
- chronic urticarial rash with a monoclonal IgM component
- intermittent fever
- arthralgia or arthritis
- bone pain
- lymphadenopathy
- leukocytosis
- elevated ESR
- spleen or liver enlargement
Complete remissions have been reported in at least 10 patients with anakinra at a daily subcutaneous dose of 100 mg. Some patients have experienced a recurrence of signs and symptoms within 1 day of stopping treatment; anakinra must be given on a continuous basis. Localised painful erythematous injection site reactions may occur.
Other IL-1 antagonists are under investigation for the treatment of Schnitzler syndrome, including rilonacept and canakinumab. IL-6 anatoganists have been tried for non-responders to IL-1 responders.
Other treatments for Schnitzler syndrome
The following treatments have also been tried for Schnitzler syndrome with varying success:
- Antihistamines
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents
- Systemic steroids, e.g., prednisone
- Hydroxychloroquine
- Colchicine
- Dapsone
- Pamidronate
- Thalidomide
- Pefloxacin
- Phototherapy
- Immunosuppressive agents (ciclosporin, methotrexate, cycloposphamide).
- Biologic agents: tocilizumab, rituximab,
Schnitzler syndrome is a chronic disease so discontinuing an effective treatment can be expected to lead to relapse of the disease.
