The play which premiered in 2004 takes place in a catholic school in the Bronx in 1964, less than a year after the assassination of John Kennedy, and 5 years after the Second Vatican Council that attempted to make the ritual of the church more accessible to the congregants. Shanley's play about a nun in a Catholic school who confronts a priest whom she believes is molesting a child in the school brings together all the elements of theatre. The script has already proven itself to be worthy of a Pulitzer Prize, a Tony Award for best play, and a movie staring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. This production takes the script and adds all of the other elements that are necessary to create a satisfying evening of theatre.

text:
He was born into a South Wales mining village; its culture and the influences of his family were never to leave him. His family's love of music and concern for the social causes of the Welsh valleys led to his abiding love of opera and to his passionate commitment to socialism.
His family had great ambitions for him and at West Monmouth Grammar School his exceptional mathematical abilities were recognised. In 1957 he became a student in the Physics Department at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, and there he spent the rest of his academic career. He came under the influence of Professor David Wright, the doyen of colour vision, which led him to devote his subsequent research to the study of vision. He became a leading and highly innovative exponent of the application of psychophysics (the investigation of the relations between physical stimuli and sensation) to the study of vision in human subjects.
Not content with extending understanding of normal vision he turned to studies of the nature of visual abnormalities exhibited by a variety of clinical patients, many of whom had suffered brain damage as a result of a stroke or tumour. His studies were carried out not only to enhance understanding of the normal mechanisms of visual processing, but to offer practical assistance to the patient. Ruddock was a brilliant experimentalist who when presented with such a patient would rapidly devise a series of experiments, which would be speedily executed following modifications of the hallmark of the visual psychophysicist, the optical bench.
This consists of a series of mirrors, lenses, filters and light sources, which when viewed by the uninitiated gives the impression of science performed with string and sealing wax, but in the hands of Ruddock provided measurements of the highest precision. For the subject the experiments could be fairly demanding, but here Ruddock's humanity was apparent. Several of his subjects returned time and time again to his laboratories over extended periods, in some cases in excess of 20 years. If the patient was unable to travel to London Ruddock would devise suitable portable equipment to take the laboratory into the patient's home. His patients became his friends as did almost everyone who entered his life.
In 1972 he was awarded a Royal Society Exchange Fellowship to work in Venezuela with Gunnar Svaetichin, a pioneer in single-cell electrophysiological recording. This enabled Ruddock on his return to establish, in Imperial's country establishment at Silwood Park, a separate research programme in which he recorded from within cells in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Both his electrophysiological and psychophysical studies led him into controversial areas in the field of vision; he defended his position strongly whilst always being prepared to listen and debate with the opposition.
Throughout his life at Imperial he was committed to undergraduate and postgraduate education, and actively involved in the organisation of teaching. He was an excellent lecturer who delighted in being able to bring biology to physics students steeped in mathematics and the physical sciences. Every year, after hearing his lectures, students flocked to his door to carry out final-year projects or PhDs under his supervision. To them he was always accessible. In 1988 he was appointed Professor of Biophysics, and in 1991 Head of the Biophysics Group in the Physics Department.
Over the years Ruddock developed an extended international network of former students whom he greatly enjoyed visiting. This and frequent requests to lecture abroad fed his passion for travel, which was made all the more pleasurable by his gift for languages, which extended to Chinese - studied as a challenge.
Outside Imperial College he was on several editorial boards and national committees. He particularly enjoyed his work on the Vision Research Working Party of the Wellcome Trust. In 1985 with three other visual scientists and clinicians he formed the Neuro-ophthalmology Club and it was his enthusiasm and interest which has ensured its continued success.
Ruddock was an ardent follower of sport, especially Welsh rugby and cricket, although here he was a Lancashire supporter. An accomplished violinist, he was involved in the musical life of Imperial, but it was his burning love of opera that was evident to all around him. He regularly visited the Royal Opera House and had in recent weeks been contemplating its forthcoming temporary closure for redevelopment, and whether to sign up for opera seasons in houses as far afield as New York, Paris or Vienna.
In 1963 he married Joan Anthony, a teenage friend who had followed him to study at Imperial College. Coming from the same background their 30 years together were spent sharing similar ideals, particularly a passion for socialism which eventually led Joan to become a Labour Member of Parliament. They separated in 1990.
Keith Ruddock was a scientist and humanitarian who showed absolute loyalty to his friends. His untimely and sudden death came just hours after he remarked that he had had one of the most successful years ever in his scientific career with a stream of exciting new observations. There was an irony in his death's resulting from a motor vehicle accident; it was a form of transportation Ruddock disliked and he had never considered it necessary to learn to drive.
Christopher Kennard
Keith Harrhy Ruddock, biophysicist: born Croesyceiliog, South Wales 12 March 1939; Professor of Biophysics, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine 1988-96; married 1963 Joan Anthony; died London 20 December 1996.Reuse content

Fab stay, room fine although the bathroom is rather dated and the breakfast primitive but we enjoyed the l annexLouisa Lodge, staff very helpful, location very good. The breakfast needs improving L
A lovely hotel in a beautiful old stately home. Rooms are very comfortable and I had a lovely seaview from mine. A large abd tasty breakfast is served in a spacious and sunny conservatory and you can relax with the papers in comfy and elegant lounge after. A hotel full of character and style.
Bathroom heater/towel rail did not work. Could not leave bathroom door open as air/con sucked all heated air away from both rooms.Bathroom too cold to use,very disappointing.Service in restaurant was good,as it should be for the price.On booking I was told that as it was my Birthday they would give us an upgrade, it`s a shame they did not.Very sad birthday present.
3rd visit for the Swanage Blues festival- hotel is comfortable, staff are friendly, perfect town centre location, yet quiet with lovely gardens. I stayed in Louisa Lodge which is even quieter if lacking the atmosphere of the main building which is amazing.
Very friendly. Well situated and nice room. V quiet as November but always someone available to help. Evening meals very good. Excellent value.

Great place to take friends, enjoy yummy food and listen to great music....especially Joel Ratchiff on guitar.
We stayed at the Strater Hotel so we had easy access to the Diamond Belle Saloon...it is set up like an old west bar..where the waitress wears a corset and feather in her hair...they had great music while we were there and drinks were very good...waitress was excellent...will go back
When I entered the bar there was a guitar player singing who was fantastic. He was an awesome entertainer and I would've liked to have sat to listen to him for hours. I would have stayed except for the terrible service. I ordered a beer after about a 10 minute wait, and the waitress never came back until I flagged... More
Had an old fashioned... actually two! They were excellent and so was the service. Great atmosphere with some live music.
Stopped in for lunch during Snow down event. Just needed a quick bite. The Thursday Fish and Chips was delicious and ample. Accommodated a family with 5 YR old and child's menu.

Went to Diamond Belle Saloon aftker dinner for drinks and musical entertainment. Great time, wonderful atmosphere. Been coming here off and on for 30+ years and it has retained the Western decor and atmosphere all that time.
There was a great piano player (Dick Krepke?) that played at the Diamond Belle for some years. When he got going an oldish bar tender would sing songs (He could really sing) and invite customers to sing as well. I once apres skied with friends at the DB to the extent that I a not very good singer, got up... More
My husband and I were staying down the street for the night and decided to give Diamond Belle Saloon a shot. We sat at the bar and were greeted immediately by Evan.

of the PODLight
The PODLight was designed in 2006 as a rechargeable
and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional work lights.
As part of Lujan USA's goal to constantly improve, it has had
several revisions.
The original PODLight
It featured 26 multi-angled bullet LEDs in the work light and
9 narrow angled bullet LEDs in the flashlight. It utilized nickel
metal hydride batteries and is commonly viewed as PODLight 1.0.
The PODLight 2.0
Customer requests for a brighter flash light led to the PODLight
2.0. The 9 narrow angle bullet LEDs in the flashlight were replaced
with a single high intensity SMD LED and a focusing reflector
The PODLight 3.0
Battery technology changed and the PODLight changed with it upgrading
from nickel metal hydride to lithium ion increasing battery life
and the longevity of the light.
PODLight 4.0
The next generation of the PODLight will be available in 2016.
Design changes are being made to increase the brightness of the
work light by upgrading the PODLight 4.0 with SMD LEDs It is anticipated
that this change will triple the intensity of the work light and
also increase the width of the light angle.
More intelligence is being built into the PODLight
4.0. It will have a Power Out feature which automatically turns
on the light when the power goes out, it will have a built in
flash notification system to alert users when the battery level
is getting low, and it will have a single press feature which
turns off the light with a single press of the switch after 10
seconds of operation
It will also have two brightness levels for the
work light. A high intensity level for maximum brightness and
a low intensity level for extended battery duration.

A senior doctor, now chairman of a large NHS trust, described to me a meeting he attended at No 10 of experts advising the Prime Minister on the perils faced by young people in the presence of alcohol. Sir Terry Leahy, the former boss of Tesco, was present, and he ferociously defended the right of supermarkets to charge what they like for alcohol. The price had no bearing on the amount people drank, he said. The doctor was outraged and launched a one man boycott of the supermarket. "I have never shopped in Tesco since," he said.
You can see why. Last week, figures showed cases of alcoholic liver disease among young people in the North-east have soared by 60 per cent in the last seven years. People in their twenties and thirties are being admitted to hospital with terminal liver conditions.
The Scottish government is the first in the world to address the problem by announcing plans for a minimum price of alcohol under the Alcohol Act, which came into force on 1 October.
Although the government has not yet fixed a minimum price, its first attempt to do so, which failed during the last parliament, proposed that it should be set at 45 pence per unit.
Following the Scottish National Party's victory in the election last May, this new plan is set to become law next summer.
Alcohol is 44 per cent cheaper in the UK than in 1980. In Scotland you can buy 21 units of alcohol, the recommended weekly amount for men, for less than £4.
The Scottish government's plans could be scuppered, however, by a court challenge from the Scotch Whisky Association, worried about the impact of any price control in the UK on its export prospects abroad. Meanwhile, a nightclub owner in Durham has announced he will let customers bring their own booze because he cannot compete with the prices charged by supermarkets.
The threat to young people's health from cheap booze is too great. If the Government will not act, the supermarkets must be shamed into doing so. Anyone for a boycott of Tesco?

Do British households have too much debt? Or to put it another way, do British households feel they have too much debt to allow them to start spending? On this question hang the prospects for our economic recovery.
Given the weakness of exports and business investment since the financial crisis, consumer expenditure is, mathematically, going to need to play a bigger role if we are to get any decent growth in the years ahead. The trouble is that consumers simply won't open their wallets if they feel they've got too much debt on their backs, even if inflation abates and incomes start to grow in real terms. Hence the question: are we overleveraged?
Opinions on the issue diverge. The Treasury's official forecaster, the Office for Budget Responsibility, seems to take the view that the great wave of household deleveraging is abating. It sees consumer spending coming in weak this year and next, but picking up nicely in 2015.
Much of our debt, of course, is mortgage borrowing. One event that would scupper the gradual pick-up scenario is a slide in house prices that would leave households feeling more oppressed by their debt pile. The OBR doesn't see this as a problem. Its forecast is for house prices to rise gently for the next few years, before picking up steam in 2015 (see the second chart).
However, not everyone agrees with this sanguine forecast. The International Monetary Fund, in its most recent comprehensive report on the UK economy, argues that deleveraging by British households probably has further yet to run. More ominously, it sees house prices as overvalued by between 10 to 15 per cent. Fathom Consulting also sees further deleveraging. "The end of the beginning" is how the consultancy describes our situation in a recent note.
There are plausible narratives on both sides. On the one hand, UK household debt has come down since the financial crisis, suggesting progress on deleveraging. It declined from 140 per cent of income in 2009 to just over 120 per cent last year, as the main chart shows. Also, the saving rate seems to be declining, falling from 7.9 per cent to 6.7 per cent in the final quarter of 2012, implying people might be feeling more comfortable about their net fiscal position.
On the other hand, household debt as a percentage of income remains well above historical averages. The UK household debt burden is still high by international standards. It is true that record low interest rates from the Bank of England help households to service the debt. The joint Bank/Treasury Funding for Lending Scheme will also probably assist in this respect by bringing down mortgage refinancing rates. There are restrictions on housing supply in the UK too, relative to other countries, which could explain our higher house prices and, consequently, mortgage debt. But those households still look fragile. If interest rates were to rise and wage growth was to remain subdued there could be trouble. Forbearance by lenders is very likely to be helping keep some people in their homes.
In the end it's impossible to know. Rather like the vexing productivity puzzle, the evidence base is simply not there yet to say with any confidence one way or another whether house prices are fairly valued, and consequently whether households are overleveraged. So, in a sense, the more important question, given the uncertainty, is: what is the best policy response to support the economy?
The Chancellor's state home-buying guarantees for first-time buyers with small deposits, announced in the March Budget, look irresponsible given the possibility that the housing market could well have a correction in store. A five per cent slide in house prices would put these new buyers in negative equity. A more prudent alternative to the problem of young families priced out of the housing market would be, instead, for the Government to boost the housing supply by sponsoring the construction of more homes.
More generally, the IMF's policy prescription looks sensible. It argued last year that with the possibility of further household deleveraging to come and also house price declines that the authorities should offer monetary and fiscal support to the economy. That means more quantitative easing from the Bank of England and a slowing of the pace of fiscal consolidation from the Government.
I would add that another policy imperative should be to clean up the balance sheets of our largest banks too. There is a mountain of survey evidence that these institutions are not lending to creditworthy small and medium size firms because their managements still have one eye on the un-provisioned toxic legacy loans on their books. It really is a disgrace that, five years after the onset of the crisis, ministers have still not fixed the credit supply.
The £25bn that the Bank of England has instructed private lenders to raise is too modest. As some members of the Financial Policy Committee regulator have pointed out, that will still leave £1.5trn of banking assets on the books of banks which are still very highly leveraged. It is difficult to see how such banks are going to support more lending to the economy.
But there is no disguising the centrality of the question of demand for credit in the coming years. It all comes back to whether or not those household debt piles are sustainable.Reuse content

Award-winning journalist Brian McGrory goes head to beak in a battle royale with another male for a top-spot in his home, vying for dominance with the family's pet rooster.
Brian McGrory's life changed drastically after the death of his beloved dog, Harry: he fell in love with Pam, Harry's veterinarian. Though Brian's only responsibility used to be his adored Harry, Pam came with accessories that could not have been more exotic to the city-loving bachelor: a home in suburbia, two young daughters, two dogs, two cats, two rabbits, and a portly, snow white, red-crowned-and-wattled step-rooster named Buddy. While Buddy loves the women of the house, he takes Brian's presence as an affront, doing everything he can to drive out his rival. Initially resistant to elements of his new life and to the loud, aggressive rooster (who stares menacingly, pecks threateningly, and is constantly poised to attack), Brian eventually sees that Buddy shares the kind of extraordinary relationship with Pam and her two girls that he wants for himself. The rooster is what Brian needs to be – strong and content, devoted to what he has rather than what might be missing. As he learns how to live by living with animals, Buddy, Brian's nemesis, becomes Buddy, Brian's inspiration, in this inherently human story of love, acceptance, and change.
In the tradition of bestsellers like Marley and Me, Dewey, and The Tender Bar comes a heartwarming and wise tale of finding love in life's second chapter - and how it means all the more when you have to fight for it.

McGrory / BUDDY
Try as you might, you never forget that first time a rooster announces the dawn of a new day from your very own yard.
In my case, I jerked awake to find myself in a place I had never been, on a bed that wasn't mine, in a room I didn't know. There were windows where there had never been windows, and outside those windows, the first hint of morning light revealed the outline of tall trees I had never seen before.
I pressed and poked at the unfamiliar alarm clock until I realized it wasn't the source of the sound. No, the noise in question was somewhere else, somewhere out of reach, somewhere outside of this room.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo! Cock-a-doodle-doo!"
It seemed to be getting closer, louder, clearer.
"Dammit." I whirled toward the origin of the profanity, a figure that had suddenly stirred beside me in bed, a woman with a raspy voice still choked by sleep. She tossed off the thick comforter and lunged toward her side of the room.
In the darkness, I caught a glimpse of the yellow sweatshirt and blue surgical scrubs worn by this mysterious, fleeting figure. Hey, wait a minute. This wasn't any unknown blonde. It was my fiancée, Pam. What was she doing here? I watched as she paused in the murky expanse, apparently gathering her bearings, and then vanished through an open door.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo! Cock-a-doodle-doo!"
I looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table: 4:55 a.m. Clarity was making a comeback. Memories were returning, gaps filling in. I had moved the day before. Yes, right, moved. It wasn't a small move. I'd left the city I love, Boston, where I had lived for most of the last twenty-two years, for a distant and leafy place known as Suburbia. I'd left a classic 150-year-old brick town house loaded with character and charm for a rambling new suburban home surrounded by this thing I was told was a lawn. I'd left a life of total freedom and independence—the only thing resembling a familial obligation was my golden retriever, who never felt obligatory at all—to live with Pam, her two daughters, their two rabbits, and their dog, Walter, in a new house that, as of the previous day, I think I even co-owned.
Oh, and how could I forget their rooster? Otherwise known as my wake-up call. That was Buddy screaming outside, Buddy waking me up, Buddy announcing, with singular style, that my life would never again be the same. Just as I had spent my first night in a new house, so had he, in his case a grossly expensive shed that Pam had custom-built in the side yard, with tall double cedar doors, insulated walls, a shingled roof, a shelf that served as his high perch, and windows that had yet to be installed, which explained the penetrating predawn alert. Buddy had awakened to the sounds of potential predators outside his house, which meant that the rest of the street awoke to Buddy's war cry. Good morning, new neighbors!
I heard footsteps downstairs, then the happy yelps and little barks of the relieved chicken undoubtedly being carried in Pam's arms. I had this rush of fear that she was bringing him up to bed until I heard the cellar door open, steps, silence. Moments later, the darkness giving way to more light, Pam fell into bed next to me.
"Poor guy is scared and confused," she said sleepily.
"I'll be okay," I said.
"No. I mean Buddy."
As Pam drifted back to sleep, I lay in bed trying to get my head around how all this was going to work. I'm not talking about this new, grand, crowded life filled with spasms of drama lurking around the most seemingly complacent corners, or the constant cacophony of girls, dogs, and chicken, or the long commute to work, or the neighbor inevitably leaning over my back fence to tell me when to flip my burgers, or the fact that my new walk to the coffee shop led me along a highway and to a strip mall. No, I just mean getting up, getting ready, getting out. In my old life, as in yesterday, I'd accompany my golden retriever on a quiet walk through a tranquil park known as the Esplanade set along the banks of the Charles River in Boston. The river flowed on one side, surprisingly clean. The high-rises of Back Bay towered on the other. We'd loop through the Public Garden, where swan boats awaited the day's riders and the colorful palette of fat tulips signaled the start of better things. We'd mosey up Newbury Street, past the stores and boutiques that had yet to come to life for the day, the dog happily slurping water from any shopkeepers who happened to be hosing down their sidewalks. We'd stop at a coffee shop where the nice counter clerk knew what I wanted and always seemed happy that I was there, and wind up on my front stoop, where I'd read the paper and the tired dog would laze in the sun.
Now I had the finite space of a yard. Now I had a car to get to Dunkin' Donuts. And now I had an eight-year-old in the house named Caroline who had learned from her older cousin the prior summer how to pick a lock with a bobby pin. She was excellent at it, a talent that would result in uncharacteristically short and uncommonly tense showers for me.
"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!"
The kids, two girls, raced into the room at that very minute, dived through the air, and landed on the bed between Pam and myself, the older of the daughters, Abigail, rolling into me, giggling loudly as she gave me the once-over from her vantage point on the pillow, and declaring "Your hair is sticking straight up."
Good to know. Pam rolled over, and the three of them hugged and talked about their first night in their new bedrooms. The two dogs had stirred and began wrestling on the bedroom floor. Buddy began crowing again from two floors below.
"He's in the basement," Pam told the kids, who were looking quizzical, and it was as if she had lit the fuse of a rocket. They roared out of the room as fast as they had arrived, followed more slowly by their mother, who was followed by the two dogs, leaving me alone with my hopes and fears—my hopes being that this whole big venture would work out as it was supposed to, my fears being about every possible way that my twisted little mind could devise to screw things up.
I took the quickest shower of my life. Downstairs, every living creature in the house had gathered in the kitchen. The dogs were lying in wait, though out of their element and unclear on the agenda. "I get it, guys," I told them. The rabbit cage had somehow shown up next to the kitchen table with two creatures named Dolly and Lily inside, though I wouldn't pass a test on which was which. Pam was dicing fruit and cooking pancakes on a stovetop griddle that had appeared out of nowhere and that I hadn't known we owned. How had she even found it in this sea of boxes? Ten years in my old condo and I don't think I opened the oven door, let alone cooked breakfast.
And Buddy. Big, white, proud, and round, with a rubbery red comb and a matching red wattle, he was clucking around the floor, high-stepping between the dogs, cooing at the kids who were on their knees doing their very best to make him feel at home. "You are the best rooster in town," Abigail told him. Caroline swooped him into her thin arms so he could watch her mother make the pancakes. "Oh, poor Boo-Boo, don't be scared," she whispered in his ear. "We all love you."
What followed were twenty or so minutes of orchestrated pandemonium during which I was every inch, at every moment, the uninvited guest. To intrude would have been like tossing a butter knife into the blades of a whirring fan. Food was furiously eaten. Dishes were swept away in a clack of noise, yet still found their way to the dishwasher. Kids raced upstairs to get dressed for school. Countdown clocks were yelled. Kids argued about what they were going to wear. Lunches were made and recess snacks prepared in separate bags. Soon enough, I found myself standing on the front porch watching the three women of Sawmill Lane heading toward Pam's car, the two girls lugging backpacks as their little ponytails bounced with every step. Did they really do this every morning?
"Hey, Brian," Caroline said in her squeaky little voice as she rolled down the back window on their way out of the driveway. Acknowledgment! "Don't eat all the cupcakes that Mom bought." And they were off.
Alone, I stepped out into the yard, which was more weeds than grass, but I'd take care of that. I looked back at the barn red house, and I had to admit, it was pretty handsome, everything brand-new, never lived in before, meaning that every day spent here, every memory made here, would be all and only ours, and if this morning was any indication, the memories would be plentiful. Pam and I would be married soon in this house. The kids would grow from girls to teenagers to young women in this house. They'd return from college, surrounded by their pasts, to contemplate where in this world they wanted to go. Everything was set for a wonderful narrative filled with unique characters that would unfold over the many years ahead, hopefully more comedy than drama.
That first day in a new house, there are no bad places, no unpleasant recollections of arguments or phone calls or knocks on the door that could send your world spinning out of control in a whispered moment. There were only possibilities. The floors shone. The windows glistened. The counters sparkled. It was all new—as new as my new life had ever been—and it was ours, mine and Pam's, together.
As I emerged from my reverie, I walked back onto the porch admiring the craftsmanship and the details that had gone into the house. And that's when I heard him, his long, raspy groan, as if his emotions—specifically, anger—were billowing up inside his barrel chest. I looked down to see Buddy emerge from behind a pillar, almost comically corpulent from the copious amounts of food that the kids constantly fed him. The Roman philosopher Cicero once wrote that a chicken approaching from the left is always good luck. I have no idea whether or not that's true, but I do know that Buddy was decidedly approaching from my right, if only to make the point completely moot, perhaps meaningfully so.
All of this would have been nothing more than wallpaper to this incredibly pretty and memorable day but for one key point: Buddy didn't like me. Well, actually, that's not the whole truth. No, the whole truth is, Buddy hated my guts. He didn't understand the actual point of me. If he was there to watch over his kingdom of pretty, blond hens, why was this frivolous little man around as well? Add to that the fact that he was probably just smart enough to know that I would have roasted him as fast as he would fit into an oversized pan. The result was a relationship far less than idyllic.
Though he could chirp and play with the kids and bat his beady little eyes at Pam as she talked to him in her high chicken voice ("You're the most handsome Boo-Boo in the whole big world!"), he thought nothing, absolutely nothing, of extending and flapping his wings at me while charging with a mix of disdain and fury on his otherwise vacuous chicken face. His goal: to jam his sharp beak into the fleshiest parts of my legs. When I batted him away, he would leap into the air, as if trying to castrate me. I swear he spent quiet nights on his perch plotting my demise.
So there I was, first day at this new house, having my moment on the porch, and I froze. I remembered Pam's warning that sudden movements would put him into full attack mode. Likewise, I recalled her advice that standing my ground too firmly could be seen as a challenge and provoke an attack anyway. And then there was the helpful advice that if I backed away, even subtly, he would sense weakness and really go for it. So I stood there, trying to look strong but not threatening, tense as a tuning fork though trying to hide it, willing myself to the door without actually moving, when my dog, Baker, came walking right between us, dropped the ball at my feet, and stared up at my face.
"Good boy," I said, in my deep dog voice. "Very good boy." I picked up the ball and walked to the door, Baker following me with his eyes, the net effect being that Buddy was boxed out in a way that would have made my old high school basketball coach proud.
I tossed the ball. Baker bounded after it, leaving me and Buddy and an expanse of about a dozen feet of beautiful, unblemished deck between us. He could probably cover that distance in a matter of a moment, but I now had the confidence of someone with an escape clause—my hand, firmly on the door. I began turning the knob ever so slowly.
He assessed the situation, his face twitching, his comb flopping on his head, little clucks coming from his throat, when finally, mercifully, he turned away and hopped down the two steps onto the brick walkway and into the front yard. Before he did that, though, he paused just long enough to drop a massive ring of white and black chicken turd that landed on the wood of my brand-new front porch with an almost sickening thwack.
He scratched at my grass, such as it was, let out a loud crow, as if saying he had plenty of time to deal with me, and waddled around the side of the house.

I'll be honest and say that I was skeptical about this book. I'll be extra-honest and say that I decided to read it because my local library was closed for the day and I needed to READ. I'm not usually drawn to books about animals. But (even more honesty ahead!~~>) I was completely charmed by this short and sweet story. It is entertaining, amusing and honest. Brian McGrory's love for his wise and faithful Golden Retriever Harry is beautiful to read about. Their bond is incredible. I read the passage of Harry's death with very watery eyes. Despite the tears in the beginning, most of this book is heartwarming and funny. Brian, a single city guy, ends up living in suburbia with a new wife, 2 step-daughters, 2 dogs, 2 rabbits, 2 cats and a rooster. A rooster that is loud and messy and seems to very much enjoy tormenting McGrory. The relationship between man and bird is laugh out loud funny at times. Jennifer @ The Relentless Reader
If you like autobiographical tales that are well written, try this book!
I am a reader of mostly very dark mostly true life stories of misery. I am a listener of WTKK in Boston. Brian is frequently on this station. After hearing about this book a few times I deceided to give it a try. This book is fabulous. My husband thought he had to pull over on the expressway one night going home because I was laughing so hard I could not breathe. His detailed words regarding the animals thoughts and feelings are amazing. His relationship with his dog is so heartfelt. Don't get me wrong but this book with also make you cry, I had to put it down at times to clear my eyes. Thank you for a wonderful light read, it is a great book. Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sits on the couch
Really excellent -
Missed the last book club meeting, so I had no say in the book selected. A book about a rooster? Really?? I read it over the "Blizzard of 2013" weekend, and I LOVED IT! While it is about a rooster, sort of, the parts I enjoyed most were when the author described first his desire for a dog and then his relationship with his dog. This is really a "nice" book. There's no cliff-hangers, no mysteries, it's just a story about a guy and his life. He's not a super hero... he's just a guy. A really enjoyable, easy to read book.
This book is very funny, and I highly recommend it to a (live) chicken lover, like myself!
I am in love with Harry and would like to have Buddy for dinner...hehehehe. I did enjoy this book but, I was wondering why he named it "Buddy", it should have been called "Harry" as the book was mostly about his dog Harry, that he loved and lost as a bachelor. Brian meets his future family through Harry and the journey from bachelor to Family man with Pam and the girls and Buddy the wackadoo Rooster and the critters they had and lost (but sadly never Buddy...:)is a bumpy and a funny one. Brian moves in with his girlfriend, all her animals, kids and takes a ton of crap from Buddy the rooster who terrorizes him 24/7 and he takes it! Pam's kids treat him horribly, Pam cuts him no slack and at some point I wanted to yell at him ...MAN UP DUDE! I too am an animal lover and have had similar moments with loved ones but usually with dogs, cats, horses ect...never a Rooster! It does have endearing moments and I did chuckle quite a bit and at the end all is well with Brian and his new fledgling family. I would like to give a shout out to Pam and her girls...be nice! I too had a "Harry" in my life and I cried and was much more interested when the story was about your beloved dog. Brian, Your love for Harry is beautiful and that should be your next book...:)
(Creepin meh out!) Buddha is dat all u do dewd? (I need ideas...what can i buy for someone who luvs drawing horses and dragons, plus her own made up creatures?)
On the oppisite side of camp from the warriors den sits a small hollow log. The log is about five fox tails long with soft grass growing around it. Inside the log is moss for nests. Here the young warriors can rest after training or stay outside. They can practice new battle moves or a new hunting techniuqe. It is perfect for these young cats. -informing Rosestar

Why do fish have vertical tail fins and whales have horizontal ones?
Asked by: Rich Webb, NorthamptonIt reflects the evolutionary history of locomotion. Our wormy ancestors slithered on the sea floor, so undulated side-to-side. Fish inherited that movement, for which a vertical tail is best.
Their distant land mammal descendants evolved to run with limbs underneath: an unstable gait allowing rapid direction changes. To extend the stride, their spine flexes up-and-down. Marine mammals kept this movement, for which a horizontal tail is best.

While some versions of the delicious treat are still made grandma's old-fashioned recipes, the pies of today have a bit of a kick (think vegan, tart-style, herbs, and "found" fruit). In addition to classic nine-inch pies, Los Angeles eateries are also serving them up in individual sizes and are available for take-out, dine-in or front door delivery. In honor of December 1st's Pie Day, we have rounded up a list of the best Los Angeles has to offer. Dig in to the slide below.

Jose Mourinho says it will feel like home when he takes the bench at San Siro on Wednesday evening for Real Madrid's Champions League match against Milan.
The Special One spent two years in charge of Inter and won a historic treble last season.
"Going back to San Siro is just like going home," Mourinho smiled.
"It's a shame that it is Milan versus Real Madrid. It's a shame that we are not playing against Inter.
"I would be really happy to thank the Inter fans again in the stadium for everything that they gave me in two splendid years."
Mourinho's record against Milan is excellent. In his last three encounters with the Rossoneri, the aggregate score is 8-0.

Hobson-Jobson The Definitive Glossary of British IndiaBy: A. C. Burnell (author), Henry Yule (author), Kate Teltscher (editor)eBook
£6.47 RRP £8.99 You save £2.52 (28%)Buy eBook
Description'A glossary of colloquial Anglo-Indian words and phrases, and of kindred terms, etymological, historical, geographical and discursive.' Hobson-Jobson is a unique work of maverick scholarship. Compiled in 1886 by two India enthusiasts, it documents the words and phrases that entered English from Arabic, Persian, Indian, and Chinese sources - and vice versa. Described by Salman Rushdie as 'the legendary dictionary of British India' it shows how words of Indian origin were absorbed into the English language and records not only the vocabulary but the culture of the Raj. Illustrative quotations from a wide range of travel texts, histories, memoirs, and novels create a canon of English writing about India. The definitions frequently slip into anecdote, reminiscence, and digression, and they offer intriguing insights into Victorian attitudes to India and its people and customs. With its delight in language, etymology, and puns, Hobson-Jobson has fascinated generations of writers from Rudyard Kipling to Tom Stoppard and Amitav Ghosh. This selected edition retains the range and idiosyncrasy of the original, and includes fascinating information on the glossary's creation and its significance for the English language. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
