This witty writing combined with Daniel Brooks outstanding direction and commitment to highlighting the universal themes discussed within the show are certain to result in a memorable and meaningful theatre experience for student audiences. Juliana Smithton is a successful neurologist whose life seems to be falling apart around her. Her husband has filed for divorce, her daughter has eloped with a much older man, and her own health is declining. But in this brilliantly troubling and unexpectedly humorous play, nothing is as it seems. Piece by piece, a mystery unfolds through Sharr White s cleverly composed script. Fact blurs with fiction, the past collides with the present and the elusive truth about our unreliable narrator, Juliana, begins to surface. Sharr White s The Other Place is a sophisticated story that will trigger discussions about gender, loss, memory and family. Based on the script, this guide explores The Other Place s historical and social context, White s inspirations and goals, as well as several themes in order to offer preliminary context for students and teachers. It is meant to be a helpful tool in providing information as well as strategies for utilizing a trip to this production for teaching diverse learners in a variety of subjects. Throughout this document, connections to curriculums including Science, Psychology, English, Social Sciences, and of course Drama become evident. This guide will ideally clarify how White s thoughtful script is tangibly related to the curriculum and may serve as an exciting entry-point for thoughtful discussion in any classroom. See you at the theatre! Cheers, Erin Schachter, Education & Audience Development Manager x280
3 P a g e 3 Synopsis *I+t s about the smartest woman on Earth, who discovers that nothing is what she thinks it is. - Sharr White on The Other Place Adapted from Who Do You Think You Are, Anyway? by Charles Isherwood: Juliana Smithton is a successful neurologist whose life seems to be falling apart around her. Her husband has filed for divorce, her daughter has eloped with a much older man, and her own health is declining. But in this brilliantly troubling and unexpectedly humorous play, nothing is as it seems. Midway through a presentation promoting a new drug she discovered for the treatment of dementia, she becomes disturbed by a young woman in attendance wearing nothing but a yellow bikini. As the presence of this unsettling auditor begins to obsess Juliana, her concentration vanishes, her mind suddenly freezes up. The presentation, we learn, ends abruptly. Retreating back home to Boston, Juliana finds herself convinced that she has a brain tumour. But does she? Juliana s belief in her self-diagnosis may be fierce and intractable, but she happens to be married to a prominent oncologist, Ian, who remains unconvinced and urges her to see another specialist. Unfortunately Juliana doesn t put much stock in Ian s advice these days, not since he started cheating on her. And not since he refuses to join her in reaching out to their estranged daughter, with whom they have not been in contact for many years, after she ran off and married a onetime colleague of Juliana. As scenes from Juliana s life are enacted before us our perspective on her character begins to shift. Piece by piece, a mystery unfolds as fact blurs with fiction, the past collides with the present and the elusive truth about Juliana begins to surface. Eventually, she actually visits the other place the house in Cape Cod which she inherited from her father and encounters the current owner whom she mistakenly believes to be her daughter. The woman, preoccupied with her own set of problems, is at first confused and hostile, but the two women end up finding mutual comfort before Juliana s husband arrives to take her home. In a poignant closing monologue, Juliana finally confronts the truth and exposes her mental fragility. Isherwood, Charles. "Who Do You Think You Are, Anyway?" The New York Times 12 Jan. 2013: C1. Print. Characters Juliana A sharply intelligent and charismatic scientist in her early fifties. Ian Juliana s husband, an oncologist in his early fifties. The Woman In her late twenties to early thirties, The Woman portrays: Dr. Cindy Teller, a neurobiologist; Laurel, Juliana and Ian s daughter; and a Woman.
4 P a g e 4 The Man In his late thirties, The Man portrays Richard Sillner, Juliana s one-time research assistant; and Bobby, a nurse. Theatrical Context The Other Place, by Sharr White, was originally produced by MCC Theatre in association with Marc Platt. It opened March 28, 2011 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York City, directed by Joe Mantello and starring Laurie Metcalf as Juliana. In 2013, it opened on Broadway, again directed by Joe Mantello and starring Laurie Metcalf as Juliana, as well as Zoe Perry (Laurie Metcalf s daughter!) as The Woman. For this production, Laurie Metcalf received a 2013 Tony Award Nomination Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play and the run was extended due to popularity. Excerpt from: Sharr White on Vulnerability, Mortality & the Dark Inspiration Behind His New Drama The Other Place A particular feature of the very smart people in my life is that they think their sheer intelligence can protect them from all manner of harm. It s a beautiful, yet very vulnerable form of arrogance. (A note to the very smart people I love whom I m about to mention: I m not calling you arrogant just your sense of invulnerability). My father, for instance, who is a professor of biophysics and physiology, often comforted my boyhood fears of the natural world with soothing scientific explanations, as if very real dangers could be rendered harmless simply by holding an enthusiastic understanding of them: lightning is just static electricity, he would tell me; or heat stroke is just a matter of the proteins in your brain becoming denatured like fried egg whites; or my favorite, that fascinatingly, spider venom works by destroying the base structure of your cellular membranes, causing massive local hemorrhaging, thus allowing the insides of victims to be sucked out "like a milkshake." Nothing to be afraid of. And then there s my brother, with his degree in astrophysics from Berkeley, who often calmed my fears regarding his various adrenalized adventures by telling me that his years of studying how things move on a micro and macro level gave him an edge of safety when it came to things like, for instance, backcountry snowpack, fine ice crystals and gravity. (Yet all his knowledge did not grant him immunity from the laws of physics the day he was caught in an avalanche yes, miraculously, he lived.) So when I first set out to write a story about a woman who finds her world crumbling around her, it felt right that I should cut her from this same cloth. White, Sharr.

5 P a g e 5 Historical / Social Background About the Playwright Adapted from sharrwhite.com and broadway.com Sharr White began writing plays more than 15 years ago, after earning an M.F.A. from the graduate acting program at American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. This former aspiring actor now divides his time between playwriting, a fulltime job as a fashion advertising copywriter and raising two sons with his wife in the picturesque Hudson River town of Cold Spring, NY. White s plays have been developed or produced at theatres across the country and Europe, including Manhattan Theatre Club, MCC Theatre, Nationaltheater Mannheim, Melbourne Theatre Company, The Magic Theatre, South Coast Repertory, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Oregon Shakespeare Festival and more. For The Other Place he was the recipient of the 2010 Playwrights First Award; the 2011 Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation s Theatre Visions Fund Award; and was an Outer Critics Circle Award nominee for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play. White s The Snow Geese premiered on Broadway at the Samuel J. Friedman theatre in October 2013, starring Mary Louise Parker and directed by Daniel Sullivan, as a co-production between Manhattan Theatre Club and MCC Theatre. "Biography." Sharr White. N.p., n.d.

6 P a g e 6 Study Links Here are some curriculum connection points and sample discussion questions. These questions may be used to prompt conversations in your classroom. English/Creative Writing According to Sharr White, Juliana is an unreliable narrator. How does this choice impact the dramatic nature of his play? What are other examples of stories, books or plays with unreliable narrators at their helm? Literature How does White s script illustrate common discussions around the modern individual and family? Specify which themes or issues The Other Place highlights and find other literary examples that explore similar topics. How has Sharr White managed to grab your interest and make you think about a particular topic or issue? Does The Other Place effectively challenge any of your pre existing attitudes? Why or why not? Do you believe that The Other Place is a fair example of North American society in 2014? Consider White s comment that this is a play about this woman within the circumstance that she's in [and not] about what she's got. Are Juliana s circumstances reflective of a universal modern story? Social Sciences and Humanities At the core of The Other Place is the theme of loss and grief. According to theorists such as Murray Bowen ( emotional cutoff ), what are the distinctions between the symptoms of estrangement and grief? Identify different stages of grief, and some of the steps people go through to cope with their grief. How may we use these processes to justify the actions of Psychology Memory is at the core of The Other Place. In fact, the title of the play directly refers to fond memories associated with Cape Cod, a place which our lead character associates with happier times. What are theories around memory that are relevant to this script? Consider specifically theories surrounding spatial memory. Drama From Anne Carson s introduction to Grief Lessons: Four Plays, by Euripides: Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief. It is interesting to consider that Daniel Brooks, The Other Place s director, is inspired by a quote written as part of an introduction to new translations of four Greek tragedies by Euripides. Does Sharr White s play share other characteristics, besides exploration of the theme of grief, with tragedies from ancient Greece? Consider the application of Carson s statement (from the same essay), There is a theory that watching unbearable stories about other people lost in grief and rage is good for you may cleanse you of your darkness. Do you want to go down to the pits of yourself all alone? Not much. What if an actor
7 P a g e 7 could do it for you? Isn t that why they are called actors? They act for you. You sacrifice them to action. And this sacrifice is a mode of deepest intimacy with your own life. Within it you watch yourself act out the present or possible organization of your nature. You can be aware of your own awareness of this nature as you never are at the moment of experience. The actor, by reiterating you, sacrifices a moment of his own life in order to give you a story of yours. Biology and Neuroscience Sharr White has said that he wanted a structure that had a metaphor to it [he] sort of felt that there was a metaphor in the protein misfolding in a way that the structure of the play is a very, you know, sort of densely folded structure. Describe the process of protein folding? How is the structure of The Other Place reflective of this scientific process? Why is this an appropriate comparison in the context of this theatre production? Critical Exploration Unreliable Narrator (English, writing, and playwriting) Estrangement (Sociology and relationships) Dementia (Health science & and mental health) Memory and the Brain (Biology, neuroscience and psychology) Protein Folding (Biology and neuroscience) Unreliable Narrator She is really the ultimate narrator sorry, the ultimate unreliable narrator. Sharr White White, Sharr. Interview by Flora Lichtman. Dementia Takes the Stage in 'The Other Place' National Public Radio. New York, New York, 18 Jan Radio. Transcript. Excerpt from: Sharr White on Vulnerability, Mortality & the Dark Inspiration Behind His New Drama The Other Place When we first meet her, Juliana, the protagonist (or is she the antagonist?) in my play The Other Place, is the embodiment of this fragile arrogance of intelligence. She is by any measure one of the smartest people on earth: witty, sharp, sexy, aggressive and self-assured. And yet because so much of herself hinges on her estimation of her great mind, she also exists in a terrible state of vulnerability. Take her mind away even a little bit of it and what does she have left? Several years ago the wonderful Salt Lake City actor Paul Kiernan told me that at heart my plays are about lost people who become found. This was crucial for me to know while building Juliana s character and circumstances. Juliana s journey through The Other Place needed to be one in which, bit by bit, everything she knows is stripped away. I found that as I worked, Juliana s central action became, over and over, fighting to hold on; to convince people that what she was seeing, and hearing, and doing was the correct version of reality. From her perspective, how could it not be, given her intelligence?
8 P a g e 8 One of the issues that began arising was that this action began to create a sort of feedback loop; her aggressive self-assuredness only grew as she fought to hold on to her version of reality. White, Sharr. "Sharr White on Vulnerability, Mortality & the Dark Inspiration Behind His New Drama The Other Place." Editorial. Broadway.com. Key Brand Entertainment, Inc., 8 Jan Web. 10 Oct Unreliable Narrator in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms An unreliable narrator is a narrator whose account of events appears to be faulty, misleadingly biased, or otherwise distorted from the true understanding of events shared between the reader and the implied narrator. The discrepancy between the unreliable narrator s view of events and the view that readers suspect to be more accurate creates a sense of irony. The term does not necessarily mean that such a narrator is morally untrustworthy or a habitual liar (although this may be true in some cases), since the category also includes harmlessly naïve, fallible, or ill-informed narrators. A classic case is Huck in Mark Twain s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884): this 14-year-old narrator does not understand the full significance of the events he is relating and commenting on. Other kinds of unreliable narrators seem to be falsifying their accounts from motives of vanity or malice. In either case, the reader is offered the pleasure of picking up clues in the narrative that betray the true state of affairs. Baldick, Chris. The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms. Oxford: Oxford University Press, Print. JULIANA: And I think to myself, my God, am I having a stroke, except that I m oddly not able to locate the word stroke, so it s more like my God am I having a thingy? Finally I, I manage to say I m terribly sorry, this is terribly strange, I ve suddenly become a little ill and must break this lecture off midway, my deepest apologies. IAN: And really, almost as one entity, every doctor in the room leaps to his feet. And I guess it alarms her because she turns vicious. JULIANA: It s really quite touching. IAN: She begins screaming screeching. JULIANA: I m very calmly telling them it s the flying, I ve been flying a lot, can someone help me to my room. IAN: She runs to the front desk screaming that they re after her, where is her room, can someone find her room, frankly I can see everyone deciding my wife is just a, a, a, crazy person certainly you could argue the point, right? I mean this Richard Sillner guy she keeps mentioning JULIANA: And, and, and I get up to my room. And I have a little rest. And I call Laurel and Richard. IAN: Uh. You see, Richard it s complicated died. OK? Five six years ago. I we read about it. Uh. His suicide. (White, 22 23)
9 P a g e 9 Excerpt from Ask The Writer, by Brandy Reissenweber: Why would I want to use an unreliable narrator when writing in first person? Unreliable narrators can create intrigue. A narrator that seems reliable may reveal details that make the reader question his credibility. This can become an evocative source of tension. Unreliable narrators can also make for complex characters. Readers may delight in discovering the reasons behind the narrator s lack of reliability and going deeper into his peculiarities and motivations. To some extent, all first person narrators are unreliable. After all, they are recounting events filtered through their own unique set of experiences, beliefs and biases. There isn t just one absolute experience of reality. A first person narration will be shaded by everything that makes that particular character unique and individual. This is true of even the most honest and objective personalities.... Of course, there are certainly narrators who are more unreliable than others. They may misunderstand or misreport events, leaving readers to make their own judgments. Holden Caulfield in J.D. Salinger s The Catcher in the Rye is unintentionally unreliable. His youth and inexperience often obscures his full understanding of some of the people he meets and situations he describes. The narrator in Edgar Allen Poe s short story The Tell Tale Heart is mad, leaving the reader to sort out delusion from reality. In Vladimir Nabokov s novel Lolita, Humbert Humbert often describes scenes in a way that justifies his sexual desire for twelve-year-old Lolita. Humbert Humbert, no doubt, believes this version of events, but the reader can see beyond his perspective. Some people simply cannot (or choose not to) be on the up and up. This is another facet of the human experience that fiction can explore. Reissenweber, Brandi. "Ask The Writer: Why Would I Want to Use an Unreliable Narrator When Writing in First Person?" Ask The Writer: Why Would I Want to Use an Unreliable Narrator When Writing in First Person? Gotham Writers Workshop, Inc., n.d. Web. 14 Oct For Discussion What makes Juliana an unreliable narrator? What are some examples of unreliable narrators in books, films and plays? Why would an author want to use an unreliable narrator? Estrangement and Grief JULIANA: And I told her that I that I wanted her out of my house. Tonight. (Silence. Juliana realizes something.) Music s stopped. (White, 34)
10 P a g e 1 0 At the end of The Other Place, it is not entirely clear how Juliana s relationship with her daughter Laurel was terminated. Juliana remembers telling Laurel to leave their house, and Ian tries to remind her that Laurel died. The grief that Juliana feels for her missing daughter, along with her mental degeneration, leads her to believe delusionally that Laurel is still a part of her life. Hallucinations wherein deceased loved ones appear to be alive are quite common among people who are grieving, and it is likely that this experience is exacerbated by Juliana s dementia. Grief can be felt by those who are bereaved (in the case of the death of a loved one), and also by those who have experienced other types of loss, such as a divorce or estrangement from a family member. Estrangement is becoming more and more common in Western culture and can have a huge impact on a person s mental health. What does estrangement mean? Emotional cut-off, a term coined by American psychiatrist Murray Bowen, is described as people managing their unresolved emotional issues with parents, siblings, and other family members by reducing or totally cutting off emotional contact with them in order to reduce their anxiety. This type of distancing can happen on a physical level literally moving far away from an abusive member of one s past or simply refusing to see them, or on a more interactive level avoiding [sic] sensitive topics of conversation or otherwise closely managing the relationship through one s behaviour and communication style. According to Bowen Theory, those who use emotional cut-off as a coping mechanism often ironically end up trying to replicate their prior relationships in their new ones in order to fill an emotional hole or make things different this time. This can result in a lot of stress on family, friends, or colleagues - and can also, in some cases, lead to the repetition of abusive patterns. Babbel, Susanne. "Effects of Trauma: Estrangement From Family."Psychology Today: Health, Help, Happiness + Find a Therapist. Sussex Publishers, LLC, 22 July Web. 07 Nov Estrangement Today There are no official statistics to show that the problem is increasing. But numerous leading psychologists claim it is, and online chatter suggests it is... The American Journal of Sociology published a report in 2006 which showed at least one in 25 people have stopped contact with at least one family member for months or years. Marshall, Penny. "How Would YOU Cope If Your Child Cut You out of Their Life?" Mail Online. Associated Newspapers, 27 Jan Web. 07 Nov. Joshua Coleman, a San Francisco psychologist who is an expert on parental estrangement, says it appears to be growing more and more common, even in families who haven t experienced obvious cruelty or traumas like abuse and addiction. Instead, parents often report that a once-close relationship
11 P a g e 1 1 has deteriorated after a conflict over money, a boyfriend or built-up resentments about a parent s divorce or remarriage. We live in a culture that assumes if there is an estrangement, the parents must have done something really terrible, said Dr. Coleman, whose book When Parents Hurt (William Morrow, 2007) focuses on estrangement. But this is not a story of adult children cutting off parents who made egregious mistakes. It s about parents who were good parents, who made mistakes that were certainly within normal limits. (From When the Ties That Bind Unravel JULIANA: I m sorry! I m sorry, sweetheart, I m so sorry! I didn t mean it, I didn t mean any of it! We looked for you, we looked so hard for you (White, 34) The Other Place director Daniel Brooks says he connects Juliana s heroic struggle with her grief to this quotation: Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief. - Anne Carson in her introduction to Grief Lessons: Four Plays, by Euripides Dementia Sharr White on the word Alzheimer s It was [used in an earlier draft of The Other Place]. It was in all the earlier drafts until we started finally heading into the rehearsal process at MCC. Joe thought, Let's go through it just to see what happens if we take the word Alzheimer's out. It was in there three times, I think, in the final rehearsal script. Again, that was really about not making it an Alzheimer's play but making it a play about this woman within the circumstance that she's in. We very much didn't want to make it about what she's got. White, Sharr. "PLAYBILL BRIEF ENCOUNTER With Sharr White, Playwright of Broadway's The Other Place." Interview by Mervyn Rothstein. Playbill. Playbill, Inc., 19 Jan Web. 14 Oct JULIANA: I mean if I had dementia, I would know about it, don t you think, I ve been studying goddamned dementia all my life, I m fifty-two, I don t have dementia, what sort of dementia, do I sound demented to you? IAN: That s what I m saying sweetheart, you, you really do. (White, 26)
12 P a g e 1 2 About Dementia Dementia is not a specific disease. It s an overall term that describes a wide range of symptoms associated with a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person's ability to perform everyday activities. Many dementias are progressive, meaning symptoms start out slowly and gradually get worse. At least two of the following core mental functions must be significantly impaired to be considered dementia: Memory Communication and language Ability to focus and pay attention Reasoning and judgment Visual perception "What Is Dementia?" Dementia Signs, Symptoms, Causes, Tests, Treatment, Care. Alzheimer's Association, n.d. Web. 14 Oct As of 2010, more than 35.6 million people worldwide are living with dementia, or more than the total population of Canada. The global prevalence of dementia stands to double every 20 years, to 65.7 million in 2030, and million in "Dementias." Dementias. Alzheimer Society of Canada, 06 Oct Web. 14 Oct Symptoms and Behaviours Behaviours [ ] include aggression, wandering, and agitation. These apparent changes in the personality of the person with the disease are a major source of distress both to the person who is presenting the behaviours and to those who experience them the caregiver, the family members, and the service providers in all sectors of the health-care system. Behaviours associated with dementia include: Wandering Walks away from home unattended with the risk of becoming lost Restlessness Paces nervously, drums fingers, etc. for long periods of time Repeated actions Repeats words or actions over and over and over again Suspicion Thinks others are trying to hurt her[/him]; Accuses others of stealing possessions Sexual behaviour Removing clothes/exposing herself; Physical and verbal advances towards others Aggression Physical and emotional outbursts (i.e., shouting, hitting) Delusions are false beliefs. Even if you give evidence about something to the person with dementia, she will not change her belief. For example, a person with dementia may have a delusion in which she believes someone else is living in her house when she actually lives alone.
13 P a g e 1 3 Delusions can also be experienced in the form of paranoid beliefs, or accusing others for things that have not happened. For example, the person with dementia may misplace an item and blame others for stealing it. Some people with dementia may have the delusion that others are "out to get them." For example, he may believe that his food is being poisoned. Hallucinations are incorrect perceptions of objects or events involving the senses. They seem real to the person experiencing them but cannot be verified by anyone else. Hallucinations are a false perception that can result in either positive or negative experiences. Hallucinations experienced by people with dementia can involve any of the senses, but are most often either visual (seeing something that isn't really there) or auditory (hearing noises or voices that do not actually exist). For example, a visual hallucination could be seeing bugs crawling over the bed that aren't actually there. Of course, people also make visual mistakes, mistaking a housecoat hanging up for a person, for example, because they can t see the object clearly. This can happen to anyone, and is not considered a hallucination. "Understanding Behaviour." Understanding Behaviour. Alzheimer Society of Canada, 4 June Web. 14 Oct Causes Dementia is caused by damage to brain cells. This damage interferes with the ability of brain cells to communicate with each other. When brain cells cannot communicate normally, thinking, behaviour and feelings can be affected. When cells in a particular region are damaged, that region cannot carry out its functions normally. Different types of dementia are associated with particular types of brain cell damage in particular regions of the brain. For example, in Alzheimer's disease, high levels of certain proteins inside and outside brain cells make it hard for brain cells to stay healthy and to communicate with each other. The brain region called the hippocampus is the center of learning and memory in the brain, and the brain cells in this region are often the first to be damaged. That's why memory loss is often one of the earliest symptoms of Alzheimer's. "What Is Dementia?" Dementia Signs, Symptoms, Causes, Tests, Treatment, Care. Alzheimer's Association, n.d. Web. 14 Oct
14 P a g e 1 4 Memory and the Brain JULIANA: Did that fellow set all my things up. IAN: Bobby? Is right here. JULIANA: (Embarrassed.) Oh. BOBBY: I ve got everything down in the conference room, my name is in a card in your left pocket. JULIANA: Because I m still bluffing that I remember things. (White, 42) Memory loss is one of the most major symptoms of dementia, and it certainly has an effect on Juliana. She is constantly remembering the other place her old house in Cape Cod which she still thinks she owns. However, she has trouble remembering newer information, like where she put her wedding ring while washing the dishes. This is likely because it is easier for the brain to remember something that it has recalled many times before than information it has never or seldom tried to recall. How Memory Works Every time you learn something, neural circuits are altered in your brain. These circuits are composed of a number of neurons (nerve cells) that communicate with one another through special junctions called synapses. When you learn something, it is actually these synapses whose efficiency increases, thus facilitating the passage of nerve impulses along a particular circuit. For example, when you are exposed to a new word, you have to make new connections among certain neurons in your brain to deal with it: some neurons in your visual cortex to recognize the spelling, others in your auditory cortex to hear the pronunciation, and still others in the associative regions of the cortex to relate the word to your existing knowledge. To learn this new word, you repeat it to yourself several times, and this selects and strengthens the connections among these various circuits in your cortex. And it is this new, durable association among certain neurons that will form your memory of this word. The strength of this association may of course depend on several factors. To remember the word days or years later, you will have to successfully reactivate these same neural circuits. Obviously, this will be easier if, when you first learned the word, you built these circuits to last, by repeating the word and thus sending the corresponding nerve impulses down them many times. In contrast, if you repeated the word only a few times, then the connections among the new neurons would be weaker, and the new circuit would be harder to reactivate. All your memories (of events, words, images, emotions, etc.) thus correspond to the particular activity of certain networks of neurons in your brain that have strengthened connections with one another.

Kate Brings Her Whiteout to Comic-Con
Kate Beckinsale was back in her Stella McCartney sandals out in LA yesterday enjoying the sunshine. Hopefully she got in some good family time, too because today is her 34th Birthday! Yay Kate, you don't look a day over stunningly gorgeous! Kate Beckinsale may have hung up her Underworld trench, but she is still a fan favorite of geeks everywhere and is set to make an appearance tomorrow at Comic-Con in San Diego. She's technically there to promote her upcoming comicbook based movie, Whiteout, but I'm betting there will be at least a few young men in the audience wanting to see their favorite werewolf slaying hottie.

Saab's Swedish board on Friday took the first formal step to "wind down" the automaker, even as GM evaluates last-minute offers, the Associated Press is reporting from Stockholm based on union statements.
Two suitors emerged late Thursday, with one including British billionaire and Formula One tycoon Bernard Ecclestone.
The AP cites the the union as saying the board has appointed an official to lead the winding down of Saab's operations — the first formal step in GM's plans to close it down. But despite the first legal steps in liquidating the company, the union said GM is continuing to evaluate the bids it currently has on the table.
The union is peeved over mixed signals. One union honcho says GM's dual signals -- taking steps to close the company while still encouraging offers -- were unfair both to a potential sale of Saab as well as to the wind-down process.
Saab's board, which is controlled by GM, met in Sweden earlier Friday to discuss plans to wind down the unit. Saab was not immediately available for comment.
On Wednesday, GM's interim CEO, Ed Whitacre Jr., announced he was not optimistic about Saab's survival .

Wire sculpting and wire wrapping are two very common techniques used by jewelry designers. Beginners can create jewelry using these techniques too. However, even the most experienced jewelry designers will make wire-wrapping mistakes at times, ending up with a length of useless, kinked wire. For designers who work with gold and silver, wasting wire is not an option. Fortunately, there are several ways to straighten wire.
Things You'll Need
- Nylon-jaw pliers
- Soft cloth
Straightening Wire With Nylon Pliers
Purchase a pair of nylon-jawed pliers from a craft store, or an online jewelry-design supply company. Note that metal pliers are not appropriate for this purpose. They will leave unsightly scratches on the wire and should not be used.
Grasp the section of wire that needs to be straightened firmly between the jaws of the pliers.
Draw the pliers down the kinked area of the wire, keeping your grip firm.
Repeat these steps as needed, drawing the pliers back and forth across the kinked area until it is straight. Be careful not to tighten your grip on the pliers so hard that it creates additional kinks.
Straightening Wire With Soft Cloth
Find or purchase a soft polishing cloth. You can use the same type of cloth used for polishing eyeglasses or silver, or, in a pinch, a soft T-shirt.
Wrap the cloth around your hands. Make sure that your fingers are covered by at least two layers of cloth. Protecting your hands will help prevent soreness and injury from wire burns.
Grasp the wire and slide it through your clenched fingertips a few times until you have removed the kinks.

Dear Friends and Supporters,
What an amazing 8 years Inspire has had! We reflect back on each of these years with deep pride and a sense of great personal accomplishment. Each year has been better than the last. Little did we know when we started planning the first retreat that people would tell us that their experience at our retreat had not only a big impact on their professional lives, but was also life-changing in profoundly personal ways. We have revelled alongside you in the camaraderie that emerges after sharing days and evenings of mentoring, learning, and meals. Witnessing and contributing to great professional achievements as we promote a culture of peer-to-peer support within our industry has given us tremendous satisfaction and joy.
We've had a wonderful time producing Inspire - indeed we look forward to more good times together - but we find ourselves now at a point where we each are compelled to pursue the next stages in our own careers and lives. So we have decided that it is time to say goodbye to Inspire and take our steps into what is next. It is the end of an era for us, but we are confident that Inspire's amazing culture of support and community will be carried along by all of us far beyond this moment, and beyond this circle of friends and colleagues.
We count among our closest friends many of the people who came into our lives through Inspire. We extend a special thanks to those who were a part of conceiving and producing Inspire through all the years. It was a true labor of love, and it wouldn't have been possible without each of you.
The most special aspect of Inspire has always been its rich community. We are humbled that everyone who participated in Inspire - attendees, sponsors, and instructors - trusted us with delivering a curriculum and retreat experience that pushed and surprised us all every year. We are honored to be part of this community, and look forward to what is next for each of us as well as for each of you.
We would like nothing more than to see the Inspire retreat tradition carry on. If you or someone you know is interested in taking over the ship, please get in touch with us at email@example.com
If you have registered for Inspire 2018, we will be processing full refunds over the next few days.
Please stay in touch, and do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for joining us on this adventure, and we look forward to more good times with you in the future: for we are certain that there are many more adventures to be shared.
With much gratitude,
Enna Grazier, Mark Higgins, Eric Foley

I would like to use the Wake on Lan to turn on the office computers before people get to work so the AV and Security updates can be updated and the computer is ready to be used.
I have scans done every 6 hours to be sure to see what is activated on the network during the day.
Is there a way to have a WOL scan different from my data scan?
Is that a plug-in option?
This topic was created during version 4.1.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

You can set up multiple scan ranges, and script a WOL command to be sent out to wake computer for the scan. Is that what you are asking?
Oct 19, 2009 at 11:46 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
I "think" that the question is can there be a WoL sweep of the network that isn't a scan, just a wake up sweep?

I would like to have a WOL sweep only at scheceduled times that is independant of the inventory scan. I need the inventory scan to run more often that the WOL sweep. If the workstation is off during a scan that is OK. I am wanting to wake the workstations before people come to work so the AV scans and patches are done so they do not interfere with their office work.

Crowds turned out as Lichfield went back in time for its Georgian Festival.
The event saw a range of themed walks, talks and activities for all ages.Among the attractions were a Georgian encampment in Beacon Park, costumed characters, a Georgian fashion show, a Son-et-Lumière light show as well as gin trails and live entertainment.
Councillor Helen Fisher, Lichfield District Council's Cabinet member for tourism, said: "The city centre was packed throughout Lichfield Georgian Festival, with thousands of people enjoying all the free activities on offer.
"There was a fantastic atmosphere and such a lot going on. It was a huge task to put the festival together, and a big well done to everyone involved.
"The weekend really shone a spotlight on Lichfield and all we have to offer locals and visitors and was a great way to celebrate our Georgian history."
Heritage venues threw open their doors and offered guided tours and activities over the weekend, while Georgian townsfolk, soldiers and highwaymen paraded around the city centre in character, stopping to talk to visitors and pose for photos.


text: Facebook has a new app on the market, but so far, Pages Manager for iOS has only launched in selected countries. Don't worry, it will be here soon enough.Pages Manager is exactly what it sounds like. If you have a Facebook Page (and let's be honest, a lot of us have at least one), you can keep track of it on the go. That's if you have an iPhone. There's no mention of an Android app yet, let alone any other mobile platform.The iOS Pages app looks very like the current Facebook app, although the functionality is obviously very different. This app lists all the pages you have any kind of admin rights to on the left-hand side, with notifications whenever a user interacts with that Page (or Pages). Of course, you can also interact with them too, via your iPhone.On top of that, the app allows on-the-go access to Page Insights, which track Page performance and user engagement via likes. So you know how successful your Page is.All of which is good news... if you could get it in the UK. Facebook Pages seems to be rolling out slowly, so far hitting the likes of Australia, New Zealand and Canada. We wouldn't be surprised to see it in the UK before the weekend is out. Keep an eye on that app store if you want it.Source: TechCrunch

-Mook Rankings
3.00 Well i finally got some time to update. Whole Faq will be
reformatted. The game has been out for over 5 months now, it may seem like the
guide is obsolete. Maybe it is. So this may just be the last update. Take a
look, many changes in place.
2.03 Finally had time to update. Seen most of the strikers and now im
going to rate them and give my opinions on them. More detailed descriptions of
the strikers too.
1.02 Played some more, saw some more. ill be adding opinions and ratings
soon too.
1.01 well i havent updated even tho i know some more. well now i have the
time. ill probably go play this weekend...and get beaten down hehehe. hey no
FAQs for kof99, comon guys i need it so i stand a chance j/k okay well thanx for
those people (or person) that sent me emails on strikers. i still have a
question? do stikers so different things in different situations? i swear i saw
Terry do his high-angle geyers DM instead of the power gayser... hmm...maybe im
seeing things.
1.00: just played Kof99 today. Gave a general rundown and opinion on the
striker system. Listed the moves that the striker performs for the very few
characters that I know. Complete version will be out as soon as i see them all.
Striker System
Time for another King of Fighters tournament. This year, instead of the
usual 3 person teams, 4 people are selected. This time, the fouth guy is
designated as the "striker." To summon your striker, press B and C and the same
time, your striker will come out. You start out with 3 uses of the striker and
gain one more every time your character is KOed. That means, at max, you can
get 5 strikers on your last character. When you summon each striker you get a
split second of invincibility, use this to your advantage. Each striker has
different properties and i will try to elaborate on these in my FAQ.
*: poor striker, has little or no use
**: decent striker, has its uses, but very limited
***: average striker, good but not great
****: very good striker, one to consider using
*****: excellent striker
* Obviously the striker ratings are a reflection of my opinion. so what you may
consider awesome may not be in my book. Of course, I am basing my rankings from
my observations and experince. At the end of the guide i will post the rankings
given by the Geibun Mooks No. 226 The King of Fighters 99 Perfect Manual.
Striker Rankings
-Japan Team
Ranking: **
K' will do one of two things depending on your opponents position. If your
opponent is close, he will jump in with a flying kcik and do a slide attack that
looks like his teleport move. If the opponent is close enough the jump kick and
slide will score a two hit combo. If the opponent is farther, or in the air, I
believe, K' will do his jump kick and then his flaming uppercut. I think it
deserves a one star only, but i supposse it has its uses. Overall a poor
striker because there really is not much you can do with him.
Ranking: **
Maxima flys in about where your oppoennt is and attempts to grab you. If he
hits, he will hold you up for a limited time. NOTE: Maxima does no damage and
the opponent is considered in the air while being held by Maxima. It's success
rate isn't too great and thus it gets a low ranking. I can see this striker
coming a mile away
Ranking: **
Much like his teammate Maxima, Benimaru jumps to your opponent and performs his
Elec-Trigger DM. While he is shocking the opponent you get a free open shot to
combo, DM or whatever you will. NOTE: unlike Maxima, Beni grounds your
opponent. Another mediocre striker.
Ranking: ***
I like this striker. Shingo runs in, head first, then tries to grab onto your
legs. If successful, he holds on allowing a freebie hit. This striker has a
delayed timing move. Its hard to explain this but you can use this to your
advantage. This means when you summon Shingo, he will not come out immediately.
This is best used if you can get your opponent in the middle of his move. For
example, Kyo just hit you with a standing C at the same time you summoned the
striker, as Kyo is recovering from the move, Shingo will run out and grab Kyo.
I like to "run" into moves, that is the only way i can get shingo to work.
Experiment with yourself to see how good he is. Thats the way i use him because
he isn't a great striker, you can see him coming far away. NOTE: The initial
attack by Shingo will do damage, I have killed someone with block damage :)
-Fatal Fury Team
Terry Bogard
Ranking: *****
Terry is an above average striker IMO. He does one of two things and he is the
anti-air and anti-jump in striker. If your opponent is close, he well perform
the High angle gayser DM, this version is so-so. The other version comes out if
your opponent is further away or jumping in. Terry comes in and performs the
Power Gayser DM. This is quite fast and you can tack on a free juggle while
they are in the air. There are some combos with the Terry Striker, im not going
to elaborate on these, if you want striker combos please refer to Gunsmith's FAQ
also located at http://wwww.gamefaqs.com
Andy Bogard
Ranking: *** 1/2
I dont like giving partial stars but this one seems to fit the category. He
isnt a 4 star striker but hes better than 3. Andy charges in with his Zan Ei
Ken move. It doesnt go full screen but it is very quick to come out. Again, you
get a free juggle hit. I'd use him but there are better strikers out there...
Joe Higashi
Ranking: *
Joe, Joe, Joe. I really think is one sucks. Anyway, he will come in with this
TNT punches, RB style. If it connects he will continue to punch and then
perform the uppercut finish. Why is this striker bad? 1. It has horrible
range. 2. If your opponent does get hit by the punches, it is not guarnteed
that he will be hit by all. Many a times the opponent will be hit out out if.
On the flip side, if the opponent is hit, you can cross up and hit him from the
back essentially hitting him into Joe. Again, very limited = very poor
Mai Shiranui
Ranking: **
The bouncy ninja will come in FAST and perform her Real Bout DM (sorry no name,
the one where she goes straight up). Your opponent must be close and grounded.
If your opponent is not within range, then she will just out and taunt only. If
your opponent is in the air, Mai will hit only once and that's it. This striker
best utilizes the instant invincibility when you summon her. Time it so that
you avoid the opponents attack and she will come in and hit your opponent. If
your opponent is hit, she will continue to hit him up into the air. While the
opponent is traveling upwards, you can hit him for additional hits. You cannont
however after Mai finishes hitting your opponent and he is traveling back down.
-Art of Fighting Team
Ranking: ****
Ryo is a good striker. He will jump in and throw an air fireball that travels @
a 45 degree angle. The angle at which the fireball travels makes it hard for
the opponent to avoid this move. I can't tell you how many times i've seen
people hit by the fireball when they try to jump over it. You can combo with
this move and it can also hit downed opponents. Ralf can utilize this. Again
refer to Gunsmith's FAQ.
Ranking: ***
Robert is another delayed striker. Robert will jump in and perform his Dance of
Mayhem DM (the one where he combos like crazy). It's slow and it doesnt travel
the whole screen. But it is powerful, the opponent is hit by it, then he is
left open for anything. You can hit the opponent while he is being beat down by
Robert or you can wait to juggle him after Robert has hit him up with his "blade
kick" move and the end of the combo. Just make sure you dont push the opponent
out of Robert's "combo," trust me, i've done that.
Ranking: *****
Okay im going to give Yuri 5 starts b/c she is pretty awesome. Everyone here is
playing with Yuri, truthfully im getting tired of her. Yuri jumps in and
performs three Yuri Super Uppers, three uppercuts in other words. She's fast
and thus best utilizes the split second invincibility. If not in range, Yuri
will just taunt and raise your super bar. Otherwise she will juggle you with
her move. Why 5 starts? Because you get to do anything you want with the
opponent and you get a lot of time to do it! The juggling takes a while so you
can plan your next attack. BTW, i believe most DM's can connect after this
Ranking: *
Takuma comes in with his Mr. Karate mask on and performs a giant Haoh Sho Koh
Ken. That's all he does. I have yet to see what else you can do with him
-Ikari Team
Ranking: ***
Ralf flys in with his angled bombing punch, charges, and performs his Galactica
Phantom DM. The bombing punch is fast so you can use the invincibility to get
some breathing room from your opponent. His Galactica Phantom CAN be blocked,
and if hit will send the opponent spinning high in the air for a free juggle.
NOTE: while the oppoennt is coming down, you can hit him and he will instantly
become grounded. Its hard to describe you have to see it for yourself. Ill
explain. I hit the opponent with the Galactica Phantom and while opponent was
flying back down upside down, i performed Clark's close C buffered into the
Backbreaker. Now if a reg opponent was in the air, he will be hit once and fall
down. Well, when i hit the flying opponent, he instantly appeared right side up
and grounded. The C hit twice and grabbed the opponent. Again, hard to
visualize, you have to do it yourself.
Ranking: ****
Personally i dont think this striker is that great, and i'd rather be using
Clark than for a striker. Anyway he is fairly good. He will fly in with a
jumping CD kick and grab the opponent. If successful, he will turnaround and
throw the opponent upwards and into the corner, again for a freebie hit. If the
opponent is in the right distance, the kick and grab will combo. BTW, the jump
kick is very fast.
Ranking: *****
Awesome striker nuff said. Leona runs in and plants a bomb on your opponent.
If the opponent gets hit, the bombo goes off, launching him into the air for a
free juggle. If the opponent blocks, Leona will continue to run forward,
somewhat keeping your opponent there, allowing you a chance to cross up. THe
beauty of this striker? you can "catch" your opponent. If you opponent jumps in
with an attack, summon Leona, You will be hit by the attack but Leona will no
become unblockable and hit the opponent, the opponent will be bombed and juggled
upwards, and you know the drill. Very good and very annoying. There are some
other strikers that can do this too but Leona is by far the best. Three uses =
5 stars
Ranking: *
Whip striker is pretty poor. If the opponent is close she will jump in and
perform the boomerang move. Unfortunately it will only hit for the first part
so your opponent will only be hit away. If your opponent is farther, she will
come out and whip like crazy a la her Forward + A command move, covers great
range but thats all, cant combo. Boo hoo what a poor striker
-Psycho Soldier Team
Ranking: ***
Athena jumps in and after a split second performs her Shining Craystal Bit SDM
and gives you back a sliver of live. While she activates the SDM, she will
knock the opponent back. Best used for turtling. I've seen people save all of
her for the last guy and just turtle and use her to gain life back....eh very
boring. The striker is too passive for me to like.
Sie Kensou
Ranking: *
Sie will jump in with his air move which can hit the oppoennt back. Then he
will eat his meat bao and give you back some life. Um...i haven't figured out
the exact properties of this striker because sometimes he will give life and
sometimes not. He really is useless, if you want to get life back, use Athena.
He is waaay to cheap to be using him as a striker. Easy infinite anyone?
Ranking: **
I'd like to think of Chin like a time bomb. He will come out and sit there. If
your opponent is close he will perform his DP move. If your opponent is far he
will just sit there, after a while, he will perform the DP move. I have to say
his striker isn't all that great but it annoys me greatly. again another so-so
Ranking: ***
Bao runs in with a head butt, charges up, and throws a large psycho ball.
Better than Takuma's IMO because if the fireball hits, it will launch the
opponent high into the air for a free juggle a la Ralf striker
-Girlz Team
Ranking: ****
Good striker, King slide kicks in and then her Silent Slash DM. Upon finishing
you can juggle. Or you can actually keep hitting the oppoent while King is doing
the striker because apparently it will not push the opponent out. Interesting.
Again check out Gunsmith's FAQ for some monster combos. Only problem with this
stiker is that is has little range and is slow in coming out.
Blue Mary
Ranking: **
Mary will slide in and then perform her M. Spider move. Another so-so move
because it is so slow. I've seen the slide hit and the second part, the spider
miss so its not guaranteed. Truthfully i'd rather be using her.
Kasumi Todo
Ranking: ****
Kasumi will jump in with a flying kick, and taunt the opponent. The taunt will
lower the opponents super bar. If the opponent is hit by her finger(?!) or hits
her, kasumi will counter and throw the opponent into the corner. If close
enough, the flying kick and counter throw will combo. Little range but a very
good striker overall. It can do three(!) things, very unappreciated striker.
Xiang Fei
Ranking: *
This striker should actually get a half-star. It's really that bad. Comes in
and taunts. That's it!?!? It does however lower the super bar significantly,
about 1 stock plus. But still, if you want that, you'd be better off using
Kasumi. Deserves the most useless striker award, keep away.
-Korea Team
Ranking: **** 3/4
Great striker overall. Fast, comes in at a 45 degree angle. Kim will jump in
and perform the angled flying kick. If hit, he'll kick you twice, second hit
will launch opponent into the ari, for yep, a freebie juggle. I like this
because it "covers" the air. Lets say if someone is right over you. Leona or
Terry striker will most likely not be albe to hit the opponent. But kim on the
other hand can because he comes down. Just an ovservation. NOTE: Kim will
launch you stright up and not forewards like most strikers. Just so you can
plan ahead...
Ranking ****
Chang literally drops in on you! He will fly in with that belly bomb DM. If he
hit you he will then land on you for two hits. But, if he misses, he will
bounce on the ground. Watch out! because that second bounce he can still hit
you with his head(!) Pretty good striker, i always see my opponents run away
from him when i summon him. hahalol
Ranking: *** 1/2
Choi will jump in and do his upwards tornado move. This move will catch your
opponent and do MASSIVE damage to the opponent AND allow you to juggle. Watch
out though, like the move, it will not always catch 100% and your opponent maybe
knocked away. If you can trap your opponent in the corner and sandwich him the
choi will get the full hits in. Trust me this is huge damage, just kick back
and laugh. Too bad the range is poor on this. If however, the opponent is not
near choi, he will just taunt and do his little ballerina dance. BUT, unlike
other strikers that taunt, if you are able to hit or "push" your opponent into
choi, he will then do the move. heheh :) Good but not great
Ranking: ***
I love this guy. The striker, however, is not so great. Like others, he can do
one of two things. If close he will do the D, U + A spining kick move that Kim
used to have. If far Juhn will perform his jumping kick (d, d + B mode, then up
+ C) Not too fond of using him as a striker.
-Edit Characters
Kyo-1, Kyo-2
Ranking: **
Both clones have the same striker. They will come in with the R.E.D. Kick. If
opponent is hit, Kyo Klone will then taunt. If blocked or missed, then they
will do the double kick move. (qcf +B, B) I CANNOT seem to have it juggle
after it. Pretty useless overall. But then again, they are clones.
-Hidden Characters
Kyo Kusanagi
Ranking: **** 1/2
Shin Kyo, as i would like to call him. Overall a good striker. He will come in
and perform his Serpent Wave SDM. It will hit the opponent for multiple hits if
connected and you can also cross them up. Can't really see anything wrong with
this striker.
Iori Yagami
Ranking: *****
Iori will come in and throw a quick purple fireball. If the opponent is hit, he
will be stunned or "frozen" for a split second. If not, a purple puddle is
formed. If the opponent is hit by the puddle, then he is stunned. If the
opponent lands in the puddle, he will be juggled. "Five stars? I can't get this
striker to work!" you say. Well its an "expert" striker. The fireball itself
is pretty useless. But if you can somehow get the opponent to land into the
puddle (i.e summon when coming down) thats where the beauty is. By landing into
the puddle, the opponent will be juggled about 4 times, each time doing some
damage and allowing you, the player a chance to get free juggle hits in. Once
someone used Iori. Upon summoning him and throwing the fireball, i jumped
backwards into the corner and "accidently" landed into the fireball. It turned
into a puddle and since i was low on life it juggled me to death while the other
guy stood there and watched. Takes some practice and timing to get down.
Again, check out Gunsmith's FAQ for some crazy combos for this striker.

Al Ahly earn first points in Arab Club Championship with 2-0 win over Al-Wahda
Al Ahly defeated Emirati side Al-Wahda 2-0 in their second game in...
Egypt's Argentinian manager Hector Cuper has made it clear that he called up the best three goalkeepers in Egypt.
"There is no need to worry at all, we have the best three goalkeepers in Egypt. They are El-Hadary, Ekramy and El-Shennawy," he said in a press conference.
He also stressed that El-Hadary wasn't lucky in his previous game with the National team.
"El-Hadary's form is fine, he just wasn't lucky enough in his previous game," he added.
Egypt is set to face Congo in their first game of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers on the ninth of October.
He also justified excluding Shikabala, Ghaly and Walid Soliman from the squad, while calling up Ahmed Hegazy who's just returned from a long injury.
"I always watch and monitor Shikabala, his performance is always stepping up. However, we have more than one player fulfilling his role in the squad, therefore he wasn't called up," he said.
"Ghaly wasn't called up for technical reasons," he added.
"Although Hegazy just returned from injury and didn't feature in any game with Al Ahly, I followed him up closely and decided that he should be called up," he continued.
"Regarding not calling up Walid Soliman, he might get called up for the next camp. All players must work hard and concentrate in training," he said.
The 60-year-old then talked about the possibility of leaving the Egyptian National team.
"I'll leave under one circumstance only, failure to provide all means of comfort and success to me," he said.
"At the moment, the FA fulfills all the needs of my team, but once they stop doing so I'll leave immediately," he concluded.
It is worth mentioning that Hector Cuper has successfully lead Egypt to finally qualify to the African Cup of Nations, after missing out on the past three tournaments.
