Exclusive: Steven Berkoff On ... The search for Six Actors
Editorial Staff • West End, Off-West End • 23 May 2012
Berkoff has directed and appeared in numerous stage productions and written plays including East, Decadence, The Secret Love Life Of Ophelia, Massage, Acapulco, Brighton Beach Scumbags, Kvetch and Sit And Shiver.
Here, he writes exclusively for Whatsonstage.com about his new production, which premieres tonight (23 May 2012, previews from 16 May) at the Charing Cross Theatre.
Six actors find themselves waiting in a hotel lounge for the director of the film to call them.
Film is a waiting game, but for all actors there comes a time when the waiting becomes a slow punishment. Actors need to act. That is their trade and their calling and when they become most alive. They are paid to wait and do this willingly, until a degree of frustration sets in, when they question their very existence. These six actors are waiting for the director to make up his mind as to when they are going to be called. Unable to express themselves before the camera or audience, they start to express their lives before each other and slowly their facades are peeled away. Each of them tries desperately to hold onto their inner core until the director comes to rescue them. They in fact live for the director's command and only need the magic word…'Action'.
I've worked in numerous films over the years and sometimes there can be nothing more exciting for a stage actor after they've pummelled the boards up to eight times a week month after month. The sheer relief. The excitement of the new, most of all the expectation. The location, the sheer bizarreness of it all when you're suddenly transported to some exotic location, picked up, chauffeured to the airport, most often flying club class to a four star hotel and all you have to do is learn a few lines that are invariably simple and at the worst of times could've been written by an Orang-utan. This is passivity at its most extreme. You are shaved, barbered, coiffured, made up, dressed and the most you may be impelled to ask is, "where is the catering trolley?"
At the end of the day's shooting, which mostly consists of doing a short scene as well as you can, several times. Then doing the whole thing again from the opposite position for the sake of whoever it is you are speaking to. Then you might be required to do it again for close-ups. Sometimes the more 'experienced' hands will ask the cameraman by gesturing with his hand, how far down the lens will expose.
This actor likes to think he understands the complex linguistics of film and tend to hold themselves higher than those 'stage actors' who couldn't give a flying fuck but will perform at full tilt on each take. Film acting though is not by any means to be scorned as somewhat inferior to stage in its demands since the massive expansion of sheer space on screen means you little faults are picked up and magnified and a good stage actor who is able to adjust their performance for screen are worth their weight in gold.
However, one cannot gainsay the fact that the stage actor is the ultimate artist and must sustain a performance for over two hours and longer and sometimes of the most lengthy text. This is something few film actors would ever relish doing. Many have tried and fallen flat on their faces, except those who were trained in the theatre and parted from it for a length of time and then came back to it. Al Pacino is such a one who can easily and courageously step back onto the stage after years before camera. Olivier successfully paired both and excelled in both and sometimes linked both as witnessed in his remarkable Shakespeare series which have never been bettered.
When a successful stage actor lights up the screen it is an event to be treasured, as Brando in Street Car, as well as Vivien Leigh. Olivier in his great Shakespearian roles. Orson Welles, George C. Scott, Alec Guinness, and scene-chewing comedians like Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams whose comic dynamics came from thousands of one night stands.
Farther down the pecking order, the supporting actors, the ones holding up the stars. Here the life forms become bewilderingly simple. Your work consists mostly of waiting for your cue. You are apt to wait in trailers sumptuously fitted out and where it would be folly not to bring your toys. Your laptop or iPhone chiefly, your cassette tapes, DVDS, cameras and amuse yourself. It is not unusual on film sets for the lesser players to have long and informed chat fests on the relative virtues of their mobile phones and recount lovingly all the multifarious functions available to them.
In the makeup trailer you will have a chance while sitting in your chair being powdered, to share a few words with the star, who will bore the living pants off you with a multitude of stories about actors long dead and gone and performances and plays best forgotten. This happened to me recently when actually sitting on the set between takes and having to listen to the world's most fascinating windbag.
Actors who eventually opt out of the stress of the nightly demands of the stage may find themselves slowly wilting. Their voices and rib cages shrinking and the stage then becomes something they long for, reminisce about but ne'er dare return to.
Ultimately, few crafts have suffered as much corrosion from technology as has the art of Acting. Opera, Ballet, orchestral music all have not only retained the high standards intrinsic to their work, but have popularised their art, whereas actors have become so progressively coarsened, that it now becomes a relatively easy option for wannabes, models, ex boxers or anyone who feels like they'd like to have a go.
Nevertheless, film has been a great boon for stage actors and the reverse is also true that the most exciting stage performances have come from those whose first love was stage. Think of Ben Kingsley's satanic performance in Sexy Beast, Dustin Hoffman in American Cowboy, Chris Plummer in The Fall of The Roman Empire, James Cagney in just about everything.
Ultimately, may film and stage be forever close of kin, and you great stars of screen sometimes step down from those peaks where the skill of the director has placed you, where the camera has beautified you, where the sound man has strengthened your piping thin chords and step on the stage where it is only you and no-one else. It is an experience that you will never, ever forget.
- Steven Berkoff
Six Actors in Search of a Director continues at the Charing Cross Theatre until 23 June 2012

Discussion in 'Smogon's Greatest Hits' started by Peterko, Apr 4, 2009.
remember weavile is going to be at level 96, while im at level 100 (i think it will outspeed)
Level 96 Adamant 252 Speed Weavile sits at 335 speed, while your level 100 Latios sits at 319 speed. Not even close.
Is a scarfed slaking viable in the battle hall?
Slaking@choice scarf
adamant 252atk/252spd/6hp
shadow claw
fire/thunder/ice punch/pursit/focus punch?
right now its thunderpunch
is this good enough for competition(im trying for the colour.)
i will use timid latios then
Surf with specs OHKOes t-tar (quick claw could be annoying, thought)
actaully it doesn't, 538 Atk vs 339 Def & 327 HP (95 Base Power): 216 - 256 (66.06% - 78.29%) I think you forgot sandstorm boost
metalkid: 100-118%
Snorlax seems pretty dangerous too
Metalkids Calculator is wrong, try this one:
now i get 97.5-OHKO with timid and OHKO 100% of the time with modest, so i will KO t-tar most of the times
no you wont, pay attention, you are entirely forgetting about sandstream
also have fun never beating scyther too:
H389 | Scyther | Jolly | Focus Sash | X-Scissor | Aerial Ace | Swords Dance | Quick Attack | Atk/Spd
if you are 319 speed it will just xs twice for the kill at 325 speed, and if you are faster, you're either going to surf/dm/hp fire while it uses xs for 84% min damage and survives with sash and then kill you with technician quick attack, or you put it in swarm rage so xs always kills after it survives with sash
Jumpman, actually if MDragon uses timid Latios and Trick 1st turn (survives X-scissor even if it's a critical hit due to the sash lol), it has 46% chance to one hit KO lvl 96% Scyther with Draco Meteor on turn 2.
it's actually 90% (always KOes but miss chance), somewhere i momentarily forgot that scyther would be locked in, however timid does not allow you to ohko metagross with hp fire except 33% of the time, where it will kill on average with MM+BP. latios still has pretty major trouble with regice which will never die to specs DM (79% max) and always die to blizzard and the paucity of ice pokemon increases the chances you'll see it
Platinum Battle Factory, Single, Open Level (52)
After what must have been like 20 tries, I finally got my Factory Gold Print!
My team was
Gengar @Lum Berry
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature
-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Bomb
-Destiny Bond
Milotic @Wide Lens
EVs: 252 SpAtk / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
-Hydro Pump
-Mirror Coat
Gliscor @Razor Claw
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 SpD
Jolly Nature
-Fire Fang
-Thunder Fang
-Ice Fang
So I led off with the best Gengar set in the Factory, and had a Milotic for special walling. Gliscor is just there because it was the 3rd best choice and gave me an Electric immunity.
Lost to an Umbreon who just happened to have Curse, Payback, AND Moonlight. It killed Milotic and Gengar, but Destiny Bond took it down. Next Gliscor was face with....A CRESSELIA! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU-!
I got lucky with flinch hax and critical hits, but it still 2HKOed me with Psychic.
Well whatever, at least I got my gold print and made it past the 50 battle mark!
Does anyone play the level 50 Factory? I've seen all these posts for the Open Level but seeing my 34 streak in level 50 hold up for this long is kind of odd. It's harder for sure but it still has the same feel to it.
I played level 50 Factory and got like 29 streak 2nd try, but then I didn't feel like 29 streak was really worth mentioning. I find it harder than Open Level too, but ironically my open level also stopped with 29 streak 2nd try.
I also play lv. 50 battle tower, too afraid to enter open level, lol:D I find it's a lot harder than what all the open level posters are saying what they've experienced. I've only gotten a maximum of 17 in Battle Factory-Lv. 50, I only say this because you have the potential to lose to first evolution pokemon. Murkrow's a beast in lv. 50:(
I personally use Lv. 50, just because most other facilities play at level 50.
I've gotten up to 24 in it. Don't recall exactly how I lost, unfortunately.
pokemon post
Salamence (F) @ Choice Band**Megaroid
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252Atk/4SpD/252Spe
Nature: Adamant
~ Outrage
~ Aerial Ace
~ Earthquake
~ Fire Fang
CB Outrage is laughably dirty. For some numbers, if Mew or Celebi or Shaymin were allowed in the Battle Frontier, and opted for typical Speed and Special Attack EV spreads, they would all be OHKOed virtually every time by CB Outrage (a 30 Def or HP IV would guarantee this). That's 100 base both ways. The other moves are "filler" I guess, besides the fact that "I swear by AA" and the other slightly-less-obvious fact that using Outrage first turn unless I "have to" is dumb. I'll gladly take that risk if I have to kill idiots like Sheer Cold Dewgong, which is killed over 50% of the time but CB Outrage where Dragon Claw would fall short (and Stone Edge is the worst attack in DP). Fire Fang gets the nod over Flamethrower because Bronzong's an idiot, but it's pretty close cause there's nothing else that really warrants FF over FT.
Oh, and the nick comes from a kid in the stats class I took at Pitt last year, his friend was an old school RBYer who used to try naming all 151 pokemon and in one of the early classes our professor said something that sounded like Pikachu so he said "Pikachu" and I was like "Gotta catch em all" and he said "I wanna be the very best..." or something. He said he played RBY back in the day and it was cool, and since I was still in "break 331 wins or bust" mode in the DP Battle Tower I had my DS with me and felt it was appropriate to whip it out, lol. He thought it was cool and so did his friend, who weeks later, when the old school RBY guy was trying to finish up naming the 151 pokemon in class, said, "...Megaroid?" and RBY guy and I just laughed. He then said "Megazoid????" and since I'd bred this Salamence for this team and didn't have a nick for it, there we go. Much more important than actual strategy or whatever.
Suicune @ Leftovers**Holy Water
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252HP/252Def/4SpA
Nature: Bold
~ Surf
~ Icy Wind
~ Calm Mind
~ Rest
This pretentious, regal, insultingly picturesque pokemon of impeccable pedigree (the real mascot of Smogon afaic) is virtually unbeatable in the Tower or Frontier. For example, Jolly Arcanine Thunderfang is not even a 5HKO because of Leftovers, and Pressure allows it to stall out pretty much anything. I actually switched this into a Meganium straight up from my third poke that beats it easily just to stall it out (and because Meganium is depressingly bad), and Giga Drain was relegated to a 5HKO even without using Calm Mind...which means that without a CH, I only had to CM once to stall it out of its 10 Giga Drain PP thanks to Pressure.
Something's not right when you can counter a Grass Pokemon with a Water Pokemon without even attacking. Anyway, "I swear by Icy Wind". There are definite scenarios where using Icy Wind is better than just having Ice Beam, like a +1 Suicune at 60% facing Electivire. Even though Thunderpunch doesn't kill, +1 Surf doesn't either, but +1 Icy Wind+Surf does. Helps Suicune straight up, or against things like IP+TP Ambipom that Surf won't kill that can definitely threaten my team if Sala wasn't faster after the speed drop. Or maybe I just like 95% accuracy moves that much.
Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers**whatever zz
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 164HP/132Atk/52Def/156SpD/4Spe
Nature: Careful
~ Return
~ Iron Head
~ Curse
~ Rest
Curselax still rules. These EVs are pretty wild but there's a method: 147 Attack guarantees the OHKO on Alakazam unboosted (this is important thanks to Expert Belt Focus Blast), 256 HP is a Leftovers number, 165 SpD is a Magic Point at Lv50, 51 Spe is because fuck off Slowbro/king and especially enemy Snorlax because of Curse, and rest in Defense. Iron Head may seem like a weird choice, and it is, but Gengar with Focus Blast means no more EQ. Though of Fire Punch, but it really came down to which I thought was more threatening: Scizor or Tyranitar. The latter is, especially the DD one, since I can switch Salamence into Scizor out of a +1 or +2 Snorlax if I have to. If Snorlax learned Waterfall I'd use it in a heartbeat for the sexy Normal/Water combo, but it doesn't, and Lax literally learns every other type of move of the 16 I have to choose from (Lick counts kinda lol) but Flying and Bug, so I can't really be disappointed (even if Bounce makes more logical sense than Seed Bomb).
Anyway, this should seem somewhat familiar to some of you: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2246
Yep. When I learned that Sala got Outrage, and then that Lax got a billion new toys to play with, that was all I needed to motivate me to rebreed to see how this team works in Plat. Tried it in Pearl, got to like 74 and lost because I assumed Brick Break would kill a 90% Lickilicky (and I stupidly used Icy Wind on it instead of Surf and it killed Suicune after Body Slam PARed and it used Power Whip out of nowhere [this was like May 2007 and there were no database lists yet ok]), but this still works in the Frontier, even if it's not really haxproof. I probably won't try it in the Tower again (I have another team I'm using), but the cool thing is that this team works amazingly well in the Arcade and the Castle. Obviously I couldn't use Trick Scarf in the Arcade even if I wanted to (I don't), and it would be expensive to do so in the Castle, Tricking away a 20 CP Scarf every battle and having to buy another one (not that I'd want to use my CLS team there anyway). My StarTarChomp team would also not be as good in the Arcade because no ScarfChomp, so this is seriously my best team that doesn't really need items—Salamence doesn't really mind no CB when it can OHKO quite a few things on Turn 1 and then not be locked in on Turn 2.
So yeah, I'm at an active 63 wins in the Battle Castle with this with 640 CP, undefeated there so far because old SSS (pr CCC) still got it...
/pokemon post
Rebreeding.. So that's what he's been doing this whole time. Should we just sign over half the singles records over now or wait until it's official? lol
Though I'll admit I'm doing something similar so not much can be said there. >>; At least now I'm going for Pokemon that are really good and mostly not settling, but still, this is going to take a while.
I've got a plan on which order to do things in, at least, I'll be going Tower and then planning on remaking a better arcade/castle team.
Also, thanks for the replies about the level 50 Factory everyone, now I'm not the only one, lol
Edit: Yeah, BeachBoy, 27's pretty typical for me too.
And Jump, happy birthday, just saw that it was on the front forum page. Ironically, also 27. Who knew?
@ Jump. Damn that looks solid, good luck.
@ Diana,
I've been playing level 50 Battle Factory for a while now, my record is 27, and I've been getting to round four sometimes, but I just can't seem to get that elusive 28. Hax just finds a perfect time somewhere in round four to end it, sadly. ): I won't stop until I get it, though.
So yeah, you're definitely not alone. XD
I just cracked 18 wins on my old record in the Battle Factory-Singles, Lv. 50. I should really remember to write down how a battle goes before I lose it but, I do remember having Swampert, Wormadam-G, and Swalot version 2--->the one with black sludge hold item. Anyway I'm going to continue trying to break at least 30 wins in the Battle Factory. Oh before I forget, I don't know if Diana had already figured out if the abilities are random in the battle factory but, I've found out that mightyena at one time had intimidate owned by the trainer cyclist ignatio, and at another time it had quick feet owned by the trainer socialite barbara. If it's already been figured out then ignore the question all together, anyway to stop all this needless ranting, onward to the battle factory....lol:D
Yeah, we figured that out, UsainBolt actually ended up facing the Pokemon that were different abilities but yeah, abilities are random.
Ok, thanks for letting me know. The battle tower/hall streaks look taunting to beat, it's more likely than not impossible for me to even consider beating them:(
same, i think it will be done though, proberly by the same people, or a clever variation.
Both look tough... I'm going for it anyway. Yes, I know I'm crazy, but I'm breeding way too much for this, lol
What do I do to submit records

Things I've learned at 30
Time for a lighthearted post! I celebrated my 30th birthday earlier this month, and had some thoughts about it. These are things I've come to realize at this stage in my life. Some are unique to my experience, but others I think everyone has hit upon at some point.
Things I've learned at 30, part 1
1) The party has just begun
On the morning of my birthday, my best friend, who is a year older than me, greeted me with this: "the party's over!". As much as I love her, she is plain wrong on this one. My party has only begun!
When I was in my teens and twenties, I had fun, but I wasn't partying, I was barely dating. I was doing intense caregiving, and living in what I realized now was a slow panic and constant, low-level anxiety. It's only as I've gotten older that I realize how intense that was. In some ways, I did not begin until my mother passed and a great deal of that work ended. That's not an easy statement to think of, let alone publish on the internet. But it's true.
When your life is dedicated to helping someone who is chronically/terminally ill, especially if that's a very close family member, and you do not have a good support network, your life becomes that person. Your needs and desires automatically become second to their needs. It's the nature of caregiving, and it's very easy to take for granted, especially for women, as we are taught to sacrifice our selves for others. Sometimes sacrifice is noble, but you simply have to balance the care with your own self-care. No one else will ever do that for you. I wish I knew that then.
But as it turned out, I didn't have the typical young-life experience. Now, instead of this feeling of closure, of despair, I feel optimistic and happy. Sure, I'm an adult "for reals", but I feel like I have all the fun aspects of adulthood (job, nice car, sex, money, experience) with all the zest and energy of a 21 year old. I'm not nearly as worried about impressing people, or what the other "kids" are doing, or anything like that. I have my own ideas, needs, desires, and tastes, and I'm old enough to own them. This beats early-20s angst hands-down!
2) I don't have time for that - but I will make time for this
There's a phrase that's been knocking around my head for a while: learn to steal time. I last said this to someone trying to balance grad school, work, and home life. He was feeling the strain that many of us feel - there's not enough hours in the day, or days in the week. Higher ed also places unique demands on your free (unpaid) time, so it's natural to feel burned out. He asked me what to do and I told him to steal time.
Seriously, when the choice is between an A and an A+, and you know your work is good, but you haven't seen your girlfriend all week, skimp on that last draft, just a little. Your GPA is important, but it's not what's going to sustain you throughout the years. I fully believe that no one ever made it to their deathbead and said "if only I had added more citations to that paper 40 years ago"!

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Civil rights groups have asked Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange to provide guidance to law enforcement officers concerning what officers can do to determine the immigration status of people detained in traffic stops.
The legal director for the Southern Poverty Law Center, Mary Bauer, urged Strange in a telephone press conference to explain to officers when they can detain people and for how long in light of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling concerning Arizona's immigration law.
Bauer said representatives of the SPLC, the American Civil Liberties Union and National Immigration Law Center sent a letter Monday to Strange asking him to provide the guidance. She said the groups have received reports of people being stopped indefinitely while police check their immigration status. Strange could not immediately be released for comment.

Athlete of the Week – July 3: Kayla Sell
Henrico H.S., girls volleyball
Kayla Sell, Henrico High School's volleyball captain, has grown up around the sport. Her parents play on teams at the Richmond Volleyball Center, and Sell began playing there herself when she was 10. She played all four years at Henrico while playing on a club team as well.
"I just kind of grew up around the sport," she said. Sell now also spends her evenings reffing adult league games at the RVC. "The volleyball community in Richmond is a great community. We're inseparable," she said.
Sell, who is 6-foot-4, was elected captain of her high school team in 10th grade. She said that one of the highlights of her high school career was watching her team grow in skill during the past four years. > Read more.

Deep Run, girls' lacrosse
By Ryan McKinnon, Special to the Citizen
Rachel Haslip, head coach of the Deep Run girls' lacrosse team, handed each of her players a puzzle piece one day after practice. Each piece had the girl's name written on it. When the girls assembled the puzzle, they saw the word that Haslip had emphasized all season long: one.
One, as in one team one unit, one goal, was the theme of this year's team. The team reached the state tournament, where it fell in the semi- finals to the eventual state champions, Stonebridge.
The message of unity had been issued by Haslip, and the team bought in, largely due to the skill and leadership of junior captain Sydney Whitaker. Whitaker laughed when describing the puzzle demonstration. > Read more.

Godwin H.S., varsity girls soccer
Soccer is the main topic of conversation at the Frank family dinner table each night. Claire Frank, a junior midfielder at Godwin, shares the field with her younger sister Paige, and her older brother played at Hampton-Sydney.
"All we really do is play soccer," Claire Frank said.
Frank said that she has looked forward to playing with her sister for years because the two know how to push each other in practice and connect with each other on the field. In the regional game, Claire provided the assist to Paige's goal. Despite the fact that Claire is the older and more heralded player, Paige is not afraid to call Claire out on the soccer field. > Read more.

Crystal who?
Hugh Hefner proved he was sweeter than ever for his ex-fiancée's best friend as he took her as his date to his Kandyland party Saturday night and RadarOnline.com has the photos.
The 85-year-old – who was dumped just a few days before his wedding to Crystal Harris – had every reason to smile with Playmate, Anna Sophia Burgland, 25, on his arm at the annual event at his infamous Playboy Mansion.
Hef parties With New Blonde Beauty
Sources inside the party claim Hefner – sporting his famed red dressing gown – hardly left Burgland's side and that the pair was in great spirits all evening.
However, Burgland, better not be planning on a life of monogamy with the ageing Playboy as he took to Twitter to dispel any claims he is a one-woman-man.
"I haven't been in a one-on-one relationship since the end of my marriage in 1998," he wrote on the social networking site.
And he also addressed "rumors" that he is dating another Playmate, Shera Bechard saying; "It's more than just a rumor".

Fundraising bid to help Norfolk's D-Day veterans return to Normandy
14:27 18 September 2012
A fundraising campaign is under way to enable Normandy veterans to return to France to mark the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings in 2014.
The veterans, who are now in their 80s and 90s, face travel insurance costs of up to £2,000 meaning many wouldn't be able to visit the battlefields in Normandy and the graves of their fallen comrades again without financial help.
The Norwich and District branch of the Normandy Veterans Association wants to raise £20,000 for the return to France and is holding fundraising events, including a quiz at The Cottage in Louden Road, Cromer on September 20 at 2.30pm.
The quiz is being supported by the few remaining Normandy veterans in north Norfolk, including Margaret Dickinson, John Eastbury and George Gallagher, who all live in Cromer.
Mrs Dickinson, 90, joined Queen Alexandra's Military Nursing Service after finishing her medical training and went to Normandy shortly after D Day to set up the first British hospital there. At the age of 22, she followed the troops through France, Belgium, Holland and Germany, treating injured soldiers in tents and temporary hospitals. "It was a very different type of nursing," she said. "At first you just dealt with the casualties, dressed their wounds and repatriated them back home. We didn't think anything about it, we just got on with the job. As long as I had my tin hat I felt safe." Mr Eastbury, 92, served as a member of the Royal Engineers and fought at Dunkirk before being sent to Arromanches, Normandy, the day after D Day. He said: "When we got on our boat the first lot were coming back all wounded. Some bloke with a bandage round his neck said 'best of luck to you, it is murder over there'. As we got nearer we could hear the guns going off. I had been in the army a year or two by that point so it didn't matter as far as I was concerned."
Mr Eastbury was shot in the arm several months later and repatriated to England. He moved to Cromer in 1964 where he was managing director or Rust's Wine Merchants.
Mr Gallagher was 20 years old when he landed on Juno Beach on the fourth day of the campaign as a member of the Royal Engineers 73rd Field Company, The company was tasked with building bridges across Europe's rivers for the advancing British army under enemy fire, including one that was mile long. He said: "Everything seemed to be an adventure until I finally got in to some serious action. Then all I can remember experiencing is three things: apprehension, fear and terror."
Mr Gallagher, 88, urged people to support the fundraising appeal. He said: "It is extremely important that people who want to can get back to Normandy. It is possibly the last time we will have the chance to visit the graves in Normandy because of our ages."
Mr Gallagher, Mrs Dickinson and Mr Eastbury are not planning to travel to Normandy again because of ill health.
Teams of a maximum of four people are being sought for the quiz on September 20. Entry is free and there will be prizes on offer as well as nibbles and a raffle.

Released: Sep 01st, 2005
Running Time: 60
Company: California Star Productions
Cast: Miss Hunt, Spanky
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Specialty
Add to fetish area.
This BDSM title, part of CalStar's American Discipline series, centers on young delinquent Spanky (aka "Big E4") who has been caught defacing school property with graffiti. Disciplinarian Miss Hunt is brought in to teach her a lesson, but unfortunately she doesn't quite get the message the first time, or perhaps she is just enjoying her punishment a little too much. Spanky is hand-spanked and strapped the first time atop Miss Hunt's desk.
For the second offense, she's spanked harder with a metal ruler, various paddles, and a crop to her ass, pussy, and thighs. The third and final time she's caned to a nice red bottom and given a punishment enema.
This is standard low-budget fetish fare that will thrill the perverts out there but won't really set the world afire.

Common Core National Standards and Tests: Empty Promises and Increased Federal Overreach Into Education
In this Special Report for Heritage, Lindsey Burke writes that Americans who cherish limited government must be constantly vigilant of pushes to centralize various aspects of our lives. Government intervention is a zero-sum game; every act of centralization comes at the expense of liberty and the civil society institutions upon which this country was founded. Education is no exception. Federal intervention in education has been enormous under the Obama Administration, and has been coupled with a gross disregard for the normal legislative process. And today, Americans face the next massive effort to further centralize education: the Common Core State Standards Initiative.

Galaxy GeForce GTS 450 Super OC 1GB Video Card
Mafia II
Version and / or Patch Used: Latest Steam Update
Timedemo or Level Used: Built in Benchmark
Developer Homepage: http://www.2kczech.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.mafia2game.com/
Buy It Here
Mafia II is a third-person action-adventure video game, the sequel to Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. It is developed by 2K Czech, previously known as Illusion Softworks, and is published by 2K Games. The game is set from 1943 to 1951 in Empire Bay (the name is a reference to New York's state nickname "The Empire State"), a fictional city based on San Francisco and New York City, with influences from Chicago and Detroit. The game features a completely open-ended game map of 10 square miles. No restrictions are included from the start of the game. There are around 50 vehicles in the game, as well as licensed music from the era.
While across the board the only card we see get an average above 60 FPS at any resolution is the GTS 460, the GTS 450 with the updated driver get's close like the HD 5770 at 1680 x 1050. The benchmark itself is actually quite intensive, though, so really, you could probably get away without having to change in game settings. If you did, though, only a small drop would be needed.

Jack is truly riding dirty in volume three, particularly in a scorcher with Jenae Kae. What starts out as a blowjob while they cruise the streets in Napier's '68 Imapala turns into cowgirl, with Jenae's head bobbing in and out of the driver's side window. When Jack parks, he sits back while she gives him a lap dance extraordinaire.
Ridin' Dirty 3 is the "Latina Edition" and features first-timer Jasmine Oasis, Emma Cummings and Isabella Cruz in a silver one-piece outfit that accentuates her impressive curves. Napier feeds each one of them well more than their recommended daily allowance.

Questions of faith aimed at inquiring students,
This review is from: Case For Faith Student Ed (Paperback)
Lee Strobel has written several good books that could be especially valuable to someone new in the Christian faith. This is a revised version of his book The Case for Faith, which goes quite nicely with his first book, The Case for Christ. In this edition of The Case for Faith, Strobel--who is a former skeptic--continues where he left off with The Case for Christ. He interviews scholars all over the country, picking their brains for answers to some of the toughest questions out there, including evil, miracles, and "oppressive" church history. I thought the novelistic style helped make the book a quick read. Teens who want to understand their Christian faith will be helped by reading this book. While it will not solve all of their dilemmas or give answers to each and every question, the information provided by Strobel will certainly help. Overall I recommend The Case for Faith for its apologetic value.

Currently we have a server that's complaining about Netbios naming clashes with another machine on the network, after further checking into the problem we've found out that the server's vendor have set up the machine as the following
Server 1: NetBios Name: Serv1 NIC 1: 192.168.1.1 NIC 2: 192.168.1.2
Our requirements for our vendor to have dual NIC for network teaming failover on the single network. But we've found out that they didn't do it so and configured the machine as the above. Both NICs are placed within the same network.
All if our applications (ie file sharing etc) queries Server 1 via it's NetBios name of Serv1. Will this cause any problems if we leave the problem as is since it's only the server complaining and not the clients? Or should we get the vendor to reconfigure the server?

Duke Energy name Young as its finance chief
Published: Tuesday, August 6, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 6, 2013 at 2:37 p.m.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Electric utility Duke Energy Corp. named Steve Young as its chief financial officer Tuesday, replacing Lynn Good, who was promoted to president and CEO in July.
Young, 55, has been the company's controller and chief accounting officer since 2005. He will continue to lead the controller's office until Duke Energy finds a replacement.
Good became the company's president and CEO July 1. Former CEO Jim Rodgers agreed to step down from the company as part of a settlement with North Carolina regulators after Duke Energy acquired Progress Energy in 2012.

I think I have a hard drive or video card dying in my HTPC. It's a dual core CPU and one processor is almost always at 100% usage, but processes are all nil,
System Idle Process is at 99%
It's a pretty bare bones PC used as an HTPC, OS is WinXP SP2. 2GB of RAM.
Things Ive tried: - I have run a full virus scan and nothing turning up - Ran HDDScan and the drive showed as healthy with S.M.A.R.T. readings - I'm running a defrag and its going EXTREMELY slowly. It is a 500GB drive with 37% free and ~50% fragmentation. I've let it run for 24 hours and it is at 16% complete.
Ive read some articles about a piece of hardware going bad and issuing too many interrupts? Is there somewhere out there I can use to verify or monitor this? Im not sure how to pin down what is bad...
Could it be RAM? (MEMTEST?) Video card (not sure how to test this?), Harddrive?
Im stuck in my troubleshooting at this point.
EDIT This post seems to recommend process explorer, didnt know it worked on XP. I will be trying this

Historical Traveler Reviews Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort
A thankgiving to Rmember
I took my wife, 11 year old son and 8 year old daughter and we stayed at the inn. The room was more than satisfactory, clean and the house keeping service was excellent. The view from the room of the ocean and marshes was spectaular.
The Thanksgiving feast at the inn was uncomparable, offering a wide array of hot and cold entres, soups, salad, seafood, traditional trimmings and (the best part) deserts.
I played the ocean links with my son and the green were well kept and the holes on the ocean were windy and challenging as expected.
The clay tennis courts were rolled to perfection and well maintained, the bicycle rental were in good working condition and the class and quality of people working at and visiting the resort were what you would expect for a quality property.
Don't think twice. Go and enjoy!
Outstanding in from every aspect, beautiful location & beach!
The hotel's location and view of the ocean is incredible. The hotel advertised there ocean front hotel rooms as luxury, but they were slightly above average. The oceanview is what sets this hotel apart and the rooms offer fantastic ocean views. During our stay the hotel staff was very attentive and fulfilled our every desire. The pool and recreactional facilities were superb. Although we did not play the ocean link golf course, the golf course is beautifiul nestle along the ocean front. We ate off property our entire stay and cannot rate the food or food service. We would stay again at this wonderful hotel.
Big Waste of Money
Buyer Beware.
This resort/hotel is by far the worst that I have ever stayed in at this price range ($200-$300 per night). My wife and I stayed in one of the Court Side condos, and while the rooms were clean, they were spartan (no ammenities). Room service, or even just ordering an extra blancket was a terrible inconvenience (took at least 2 hours to get a human body to the room--no exageration). While there are many resort facilities (beach, golf course, etc), we found them all to be run down and crowded. The beach and pool were big dissapointments (very dirty and packed with people). When we tried the much touted (and expensive) "formal" dinning room we found that the food was overcooked, the service was sluggish, and the room itself was full of screaming children (the management did nothing to quiet the children despite the fact that several parties complained). The other eating facilities were so slow, that it was beyond belief (very hard to swallow in light of the fact that there is a 15 percent "service" charge added onto every bill). The "nature center" was the biggest joke-- a small hut in the middle of a crowded and traffic congested road.
We stayed at the Plantation on Labor day weekend (checked out early on Sunday because were so dissapointed). We stayed at the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island over Fourth of July. Ritz was more expensive, but was worth every penny (Ritz was wonderful--everything the plantation is not).
Really, DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL.
Beautiful but Overpriced
The only thing worth the money it cost to stay here was the view and beautifully landscaping surrounding the hotel. The room was nicely furnished but had no amenities. Refrigerators were $25 extra for the week. The golf courses were not worth the $120 it cost to golf there.
Everything in the hotel has a 20% service charge attached to it. This becomes very expensive. Just to order 1 beer and 1 mixed drink can run about $12. Umbrella and 2 chairs for a day on the beach is $25. After 7 days it would have cost me an additional $175 just to be comfortable on the beach. One day they closed 1 of the pools for a private party in which the participants just sat around the pool not swimming but just getting sloshed. This ended up to be an all night drinking party which lasted past 2:00 AM. Thanks Omnicare for keeping me awake all night!
After paying $2100 just for a room for 7 nights I think we should be able to swim anywhere we want! Closing the pool is not how you treat paying guests. This hotel is not worth the money!
Beautiful resort disappointing accomodations
Stayed at the resort August 9 - 16th on family vacation. We stayed in a Turtle Dunes condo which I think was the best thing available for rental. Although the 3 bedroom was extremely spacious and the view was unbelievable, the condo was in dire need of renovating and the decor was very dated. Not at all what I expected for the cost. On the other hand, the activities available at the resort were incredible; golf, tennis, biking, fishing, horseback riding, pools, beaches, game room, kids camp, nature center (disappointing), spa, shopping and more. The scenery was picturesque and the service was above standard. Overall, I would recommend it but don't expect too much from the accomodations.
A Big Disappointment
I recently attended a meeting here and from the brochure, price, etc. I thought this would be a very nice place-- I stayed in one of thier condo's (Sea Dunes I think) and the room was very small with virtually no ammenities-- The small refrigerator did not work and there was no ice machine-- You had to call room service to get them to bring you some ice which usually took an hour or more to arrive-- The pictures in thier brochure must be of rooms in private condo's, not the ones they rent out-- I would not stay there again for $100.00 a night and do not see how they justify rates of $170.00 - $300.00 a night for a single small room.
Mixed feelings...
Stayed for conference in June, 2003. Room at the Sandcastle (one of the hotels at the Plantation) was spacious, but needed renovating (e.g., chipped doors in bathroom, balcony screen door not working properly).
In contrast with the room, the bathroom was cramped -- although the additional sink was a nice touch, and helped. Loved the big closet, and in-room safe. Coffee, with coffee maker, refridgerator, and bath amenities were fantastic. The decor was a bit shabby, and found the sheets & foam pillows uncomfortably (prefer 100% cotton sheets, down pillows). The balcony overlooking the ocean was fabulous! Only surprise came one morning, while eating breakfast on the balcony. Suddenly, my friend & I were interrupted by a man on the roof, looking down at us, while we ate... He explained that they needed to complete some work on the roof. Thank goodness that we were properly dressed. Would have been nice if the construction mess had been cleaned afterwards. Had to wear shoes rest of stay to avoid puncturing feet. Lunch at the Dining Room (in the Inn) was fantastic -- the view was amazing. Okay food at Mar.
Burchette, but did not appreciate the automatic 20% service charge for lunch. The $7 "resort fee" remains a mystery to me. Otherwise the staff & service were impeccable, although not very good value for $$$.
A bit of heaven
Amelia Island Plantation in Feb. 2003 was a little bit of heaven. Lovely accomodations on a beautiful plantation. Weather was a little cool but the warmth of the staff more than made up for it. Great tram service to take you where and when you wanted to go. Good food, slightlty erratic housekeeping and great spa services made this the place for a more than pleasant vacation. I would highly recommend it.
Old style Florida
The Plantation is lovely, old Florida --lots of oaks and cypress trees and gorgeous white sand and decent surf. We enjoyed it--not especially glamorous but very comfortable.
Vacation don't
What a disappointment! I had visited the Plantation years ago, and talked my husband into going again. Big mistake. I should have been tipped off by the reservation agent's refusal to tell me exactly which condo (there are quite a few) we would be staying in, so we could only hope it was a newer one. When we arrived, we waited over an hour for check-in - not easy when you have 2 children with nowhere to go.
Finally, we were sent to our condo, which was really horrid. Dirty, old, and a bad layout. The balcony was closed in with no real view and no air-draft. It was as if we were in a pouch, if you can imagine! I was thouroughly embarrassed to have suggested such a place.
Never again!

Waterfront view ?
Beautiful park ! Many places to fish.
Not dog friendly.
Half campsites were on the beach and half on the river.
Riverside has one bathhouse / Air conditioned but not close to all the sites.
Large sites overall.
Rained the first day, flooded 95% of the riverside sites, ours (#54) was the worst with at least 4" of standing water.
No vacant dry spots. Refund issued returned home.
Will try again during dry season. (maybe)

See You Saturday

This entire week we've been giddy with excitement ending our FaceTime convos with "See you Saturday" in lieu of our normal goodbyes.

Second Day Fun!
... fun a trip. It's a good 30 minute walk from the hotel so I had to make sure I only got the bare essentials, whilst also trying to work out what I could cook in the microwave. I spent an annoying $60 and didn't have my change to tip the bag packing man, who told me "we cool" when I broke the bad news, and off I went with my seven bags (see photo!). I managed ten minutes of walking before I had a rest, which depressingly still left me in sight of ...

Becuz omg they so cool!!!!!! XD
I would love to know the number of people that tryed to use the bridge
Very nice
Your art is just.....AMAZING!
what is this art called
A bridge on a bridge. Bridgeception?
*pushes the guy*
Very imaginative, I like it!
3d reality art break down the paradigm of dimensions..very creative perspective of art..
Kind of the opposite of indiana jones and the last crusade, where they were walking over the bridge that was painted to look like it wasn't there. Except it's solid ground in either case, so not exactly the opposite, it would have to be a holographic bridge that you'd fall right through to really be the opposite.
Ha ha - excellent impression of depth... I think I'd go around the edge. Gripping the banister tight!
Just do not fall down!
Great stuff.
So realistic :3 woah
Thats so cool
ok..now thats cool
i think this is like my eye haveing an orgasm
Oh my god, you are soooo talented artist, my eyes....
Meeen it s soo real!!!

It's nice...Wait...THIS is not done with Photoshop?!
You're a magician!

That looks amazing!
You must make a fortune creating these beautiful pieces of art!
You must make a fortune creating these beautiful pieces of art!
I think I would barely dare to stand on that bridge, let alone any other part of this picture, it truly is amazing
Would be so dizzy if I stood upon that. Nice work. Totally messes with the mind.
now you see if i could do this I would use my super powers for evil and make that look like the floor below just to scare the hell out of people and make them think there was a hole there - awesome work
Your work is amazing
There should be more art like this everywhere! Much better than those ugly vague statues.
Don't fall!!!
again wooooooow
Don't trip... you could get wet.
That is amazing!!!
i saw something like that once i thought it was real -____-
You're fabulous, plain and simple. Well, not so plain nor so simple, but you know what I mean.
Lol. I showed my mom and she said she wouldn't walk across there to save her life, even after I pointed out that it wasn't real! Absolutely beautiful.
Just beautiful.
That is truely amazing!!
it really COOL
great work ! congratulations

A system for analyzing and generating Italian texts is under development at the IBM Rome Scientific Center. Detailed semantic knowledge on word-sense patterns is used to relate the linguistic structure of a sentence to a conceptual representation (a conceptual graph). Conceptual graphs are stored in a database and accessed by a natural-language query/answering module. The system analyzes a text supplied by a press-agency-release database. It consists of three modules: a morphological, a syntactic, and a semantic processor. The semantic analyzer uses a conceptual lexicon of word-sense descriptions, currently including about 850 entries. A description is an extended case frame providing the surface semantic patterns (SSP) of a word-sense w. SSPs express both semantic constraints and word-usage information, such as commonly found word patterns, idioms, and metaphoric expressions. SSPs are used by the semantic interpreter to build a conceptual graph of the sentence, which is then accessed by the query-answering and language-generation modules. This paper makes the claim that the SSP approach is viable and necessary to cope with language phenomena in unrestricted domains. Surface patterns are easily acquired inductively from the natural-language corpus rather than deductively from predefined conceptual structures. SSPs map quite complex sentences into surface semantic representations that can be generalized at a subsequent stage. In contrast, the current state of the art does not provide viable theory or methodology to go from superficial to deep structures. This issue is more extensively addressed in the body of the paper.

Hey guys - I'm a former college basketball player and current basketball skill and strength coach.
I have been posting on these boards for awhile now, and have tried to contribute basketball advice to everyone.
I have been working over the last few years to develop a top of the line off-season training program. I have finally finished with the development of the programs geared toward high school (and even college) basketball players.
These are not standard basketball training guides. These are the real deal. If you are ready to get to work, this is for you. Our WOH training guides will turn into a complete player that dominates all areas of the game.
FOR A FREE VERSION - Check out the attached file, or go to our website and fill in your name/e-mail in the sidebar, or shoot me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com if you want the FREE preview of the training guide.
The full versions are available in the World of Hoops Store
It would be much more appealing if it was completely free.. if not all of it, maybe one or two programs that way we've got an even better imagination of what the other programs would be like in full.

It's a trap!
That's no bus, it's a whale! In a bus costume!
Why do Johnah's alwayas have such strange last names?
But the point of my post -
Ok so it's not really usefull for Jonah, because it only runs Fri, Sat, Sun. But it's a bus (not a whale - they would never allow bikes - too hard to digest), and it goes to Olympia - and Portland. I mention this because I like having it available, and that is more likely if other people take it.
Besides it's greener than a cadillac suv hawked with pogues theme music and al gore's green oscar stamp of approval.
Grrr. Still bitter. Still bitter.
The resolution is being heard after a date called "cutoff" in the legislature. It can't go anywhere - not out of committee, not to a vote, nothing. Making the trek down to Olympia for a piece of legislation that is dead on arrival would be a deterrent for me too.

I have an existing web-forms website that runs on a web-farm (multiple web servers, each request is NON-sticky).
One of the tasks is to retrieve a lot of data from a 3rd party webservice. This is an expensive process (in terms of time taken to respond). The optimal solution has been to initially grab all the data and stick it in the page's ViewState (as a List<Product>. We then have a grid that allows us to page through this list of products. For each request for the next page we don't have to re-visit the slow web service because we've already cached the data in the ViewState.
So, how would I accomplish this using MVC? If I were using classic ASP, I would serialize the list and hold it in a hidden field in the form.
But what is the preferred approach when using MVC? As mentioned, I'm using non-sticky sessions so can't rely upon caching on the server.
If I am to hold it in a hidden-field, then is it sensible to compress the data first (zip) to reduce the size of the page? Again, what's "best practice" here?
Many thanks for any/all advice
PS - I know there are similar posts out there (e.g. ASP.NET MVC and ViewState), but they don't quite provide the detail I require.

Holliday, Halladay, it seems someone is always celebrating except for the injury-a-day Cubs.
Waking up Friday morning after coming off a 5-2 road trip, within a game and a half of first-place St. Louis and heading into a seven-game homestand, the Cubs' objective seemed clear:
Make a move, already!
By noon, however, they were down another starting pitcher, they still had just one catcher and ESPN was reporting that the Cardinals had acquired hot-hitting Oakland outfielder Matt Holliday. All the Cubs needed was for the Astros or Brewers to announce they had picked up Roy Halladay.
Unlikely as that was, and despite the euphoria of Friday's 8-5 victory over Cincinnati, Cubs fans still need to lower their sights a bit. Survival should be the new buzzword.
The news Friday that pitcher Ted Lilly was sent for an MRI on his left shoulder after complaining of soreness was, well, not good.
"Oh gosh, we were just talking about getting [Ryan] Dempster back, and we were happy about that," manager Lou Piniella said, "and all of a sudden the Lilly situation happens. It seems like every time we get a player, we lose one.
The team reported that Lilly was bothered with soreness in his left knee after giving up a career-high nine runs against Philadelphia on Monday. But now you wonder whether the shoulder wasn't the main issue.
"I was surprised," Piniella said after Friday's game. "I didn't know anything about [the shoulder] before the ballgame. [Pitching coach] Larry [Rothschild] got a hold of me in batting practice and said, 'We're going to have to make some adjustments.'
"When he said that, I thought he was talking about Dempster, but he mentioned Lilly's shoulder. He's got some tendinitis."
The Cubs won't have MRI results until Saturday, but a stint on the disabled list is certainly not out of the question.
"From talking to Lilly, he had this when he was in Toronto and it took him a couple weeks, so there's a possibility there," Piniella acknowledged.
For now, the Cubs' lone All-Star representative definitely will miss Saturday's start against Cincinnati, which moves Kevin Hart up a day and Rich Harden, who insists he never demanded to pitch at night but maybe should, will pitch another day game on Sunday.
Piniella is planning to have Dempster back from the DL to go against Houston on Tuesday, but what the team will get right away from the right-hander after nearly a month off with a broken toe is uncertain at best.
Oh yes, and there is still no projected return date for Geovany Soto.
"We're clinging to the first week in August for him," Piniella said before Friday's game. "We know we're in a little bit of a precarious situation [with Koyie Hill as the only legitimate catcher on the roster] but we're trying to ride this thing out. We don't want to send down our 12th pitcher and we're comfortable with the way our bench is set up now.
"How about if [starting pitcher Randy] Wells makes it the first seven innings and catches the last two? Now that would be something we could give ESPN and the rest of the networks to talk about."
All things considered, Friday's victory -- and, until further notice, every one after this -- should be savored and appreciated. The most encouraging news? A 4-for-5 day from Aramis Ramirez, who had a home run, two doubles, a run scored and three runs batted in.
Not far behind was the six innings of three-run, seven-hit ball from Wells, with all three runs coming on a home run by Reds pitcher Aaron Harang on a hanging slider.
Mike Fontenot, Jeff Baker and Derrek Lee also homered. Kosuke Fukudome went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored. And yes, the Cubs stranded nine runners, but we're not nitpicking, remember?
Ryan Theriot, who batted in the second of four ninth-inning runs with a two-out single, even goes so far as to quibble with the survival theory.
"I wouldn't say [we're in] survival mode; there's no more time for survival mode," he said. "It's time to start winning games and make our move. We have about two more months left in the season, and this is when teams either go forward or go backwards, so it's looking like we're going in the right direction.
"Obviously, we'd love to have Ted and Geo, but it is what it is and we'll see what happens. Maybe there will be another Randy Wells who will come up and throw the ball great for us."
And maybe the Cubs will wake up one day soon without having to duck for cover.
