If you knew nothing of Chinese artist He Xiangyu before seeing his work, now showing at the White Cube in Bermondsey, I think it unlikely you would guess that he is just 28. Many artists of that age or indeed younger, have big ideas, but very few manage to realise them on the scale that Xiangyu has achieved. His rise in the contemporary art world has been meteoric; this is his first exhibition in Britain but already he has had solo exhibitions in Beijing, Tokyo, Paris and Bad Ems in Germany and been part of group shows in a host of other countries. The ambition and confidence of his work is stunning; it reminds me of the young Damien Hirst, not so much in what he does, but in the showmanship with which he does it.
Dominating the exhibition in the North Galleries is an enormous leather tank, which gives the impression of having collapsed under its own weight, like a half deflated airbed. It is an extraordinary piece of work; the leather is clearly high quality, luxury Italian, according to the press release, and the stitching and detailing is exquisite. What you cannot appreciate from photographs is the smell; it has that wonderful scent of a top class luggage shop. I wanted a bit of it, the end of the main gun perhaps, as a handbag.
The amount of sheer graft that has gone into the tank is staggering. But Xiangyu did not spend hard days in his studio with an industrial sewing machine; instead, he managed to organise a factory of female workers whom he trained and who took two years from 2011 to 2013 to make the work. So he was just 25 when the project started. Hirst incidentally was 26 when he produced the Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living.
I had though initially that the tank might be something to do with the pointlessness of war, possibly a contemporary take on turning swords into ploughshares – turning tanks into luxury leather items. But is seems that the advancement of Western capitalism is an issue which has resonance for He Xiangyu, so here is an element of regret that Western values are being adopted. Those living in Western economies, and luggage manufacturers in particular, might themselves take the view that while trade wars are preferable to real wars, China has no need to bother with real tanks if it can win economic supremacy with delectable hand baggage.
A further commentary on the effects of Western consumer culture is on show in the Coca Cola Project, though the offering at White Cube can only be described as a taste of the real thing. Xiangyu started the project in 2008. Over the course of a year, he boiled down 127 tons of Coca Cola. That's a lot of Coke and he was then just 22. He used the resultant black residue in a variety of ways; some he used to make black ink drawings in Song Dynasty style but more dramatically he created huge heaps of the stuff and filled a whole room with it at Sydney's 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art. At White Cube the black shiny crystalline coal-like substance is set out in three museum display cases, which give the impression they contain something rare and precious. The residue is presumably at least 90% sugar but it has a very different form; it doesn't look like the remains of a manufactured item but something far more primitive. It is interesting even in such a small containers but I would have loved to have seen the Sydney display.
The work I found the most intriguing was the more intimate and personal Everything We Create is Not Ourselves. In a pink room on a pink carpet are a number of small sculptures. Surprisingly it seems, you can enter the room, for it feels like forbidden territory. It turns out that the small objects lying on the floor are copper casts of sculptures the artist made by trying to replicate the form of his teeth as experienced by his probing tongue. It was made just last year when Xiangyu was in New York and apparently feeling alienated and lonely.
I thought these sculptures worked wonderfully well. It felt very personal; there was almost a sense of trespassing going into the room. Unusually visitors were allowed to touch the teeth, and running your fingers over their surface gave a real sense of connection with the artist.
In the adjoining room there was another small sculpture with a dental theme. This time displayed by itself in a niche in the wall was a small Chinese pagoda. It could have only been about three or four inches high and had a gold top and base. In the middle, were four molars; according to the press release they were wisdom teeth belonging to the artist. Now I don't know why he had them extracted, one hopes for medical rather than artistic reasons, but I can attest it was not because they were decayed; they appeared a very fine set of wisdom teeth. They deserved their gold setting. The moral of this, children, is that it is better to boil down 127 tons of Coca Cola than to drink the same amount.
He Xiangyu is showing at the White Cube Bermondsey until 13 April

Egg Membranes to Stop Bleeding and Heal Wounds
11 comments:
Yea reading this one gave me the creeps eggs and Salmonella what a stupid idea.ReplyDeleteReplies
Good sharing, a growing body of research substantiates nutrient-rich egg membrane as a strong component of joint and connective tissue health. A 2009 study shows that people who took 450mg of BiovaFlex egg membrane daily for six weeks had an 8.2% decrease in pain after seven days and a 16.42% decrease after two weeks. By the end of six weeks, subjects were reporting a 20% decrease in pain. Study participants also reported a 37.8% increase in knee flexibility. For detail visit:Delete

Sorry you are wrong. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12790218 ("From this preliminary study, egg membrane may be an ideal STSG donor site dressing, as it possesses properties of pain relief, wound protection, promotion of healing, and low cost.")ReplyDelete
My very old mother has fragile skin that will break open if bumped hard. My sister-in-law from Peru applied egg membrane to her split skin and it healed beautifully. In addition she takes blood thinners for clots (so bleeds easily) and the egg membrane stopped the bleeding immediately.

If your scared of salmonella can't you just gently poke a hole in membrane and then wash with Luke warm water and soap.....ReplyDelete
- Anonymous12/5/14
Salmonella is generally a problem on the outside of the egg, not the inside. Which is why washing the outside of your egg before cracking (the cracking part is where you get contamination), your risk is very very low. I believe most of the eggs in the grocery store are prewashed now anyway.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous12/8/14
Eggs at the grocery store come from very filthy conditions (read more about battery farms- http://www.aspca.org/fight-cruelty/farm-animal-cruelty/birds-factory-farms) so they wash them with strong bleach. However, Salmonella bacteria is present in most factory farms, so unless you're getting true, local, free-range eggs, I wouldn't do this.ReplyDelete
Egg's with nutrient dense proteins essential amino's and non oxidized cholesterol are quite simply the superfood for the world, now that the FDA cleaned up the industry and no cases of Salmonella in 5 years from whole shell egg,s I have gone back to eating 4-8 a day , 4 whole raw eggs shells and all, (Calcium carbonate in shells with 27 nutrients in the shell make perfect blood bone transportable calcium, ) the egg's shells membrane creates a condition "oral Tolerance" thru the GALT and switches off Autoimmune attacks and provides relief for Arthritis patients, the collagens in uncooked form are identical to our own, and should work for AI attacks besides just arthritis, not to mention the protein, essential amino's, and if eaten raw you get a super boost of CholeSTEROL our body's #1 sterol, you can free up to 25% daily energy reserves from eating enough non oxidized cholesterol from egg's,ReplyDelete
My Recipe : 4 whole raw egg's, (I wash mine but isn't nessary if they are in sealed carton, , but Fingers checking for cracks so wash isn't a bad idea, the add scoop of vanilla ice yogurt 2 large bananas (Ripe) and cubes of ice to make a great super food shake , and you can blend it as fast as you toss it all in, Enjoy

On a rainy evening in Dalston, 21 October – 'Back To The Future Day' – five young improvisers converge on the intimate upstairs room at The Vortex. Hon is led by bassist Huw V Williams, with Elliot Galvin on piano and accordion, Laura Jurd on trumpet, Alam Nathoo on tenor sax and Pete Ibbetson on drums. With such a strong line-up of visionary young players, this was something to be excited about. We were not disappointed as the 10-tune set unfolded with impressionistic compositions and confident solos, all with gripping narratives.
After an 'in-your-face' opener, '06/01/14', it seemed like we were in for full-on free improv throughout, but the second tune, 'Rotten Apple Boughs', grew from a sultry horn melody, undercut by unsettling ripples from Galvin's accordion. Many of Williams' compositions have a poetic undercurrent, recalling Mingus' style of painting with sound, as in a 'A Foggy Day'. However, it would be impossible to pin this music down in a definitive way, so mercurial is Williams' writing. Next up, 'Skardu' was a heavy groover, mad professor Galvin stealing the show with a brilliantly percussive piano solo, using the instrument in every way possible, playing with sound.
The audience was treated to a collage of blaring, rocky themes, fluid bebop lines, and hints of bossa nova with 'Walabur'. Galvin even slipped in a tongue-in-cheek quote from 'Girl From Ipanema' during another blinding solo, while the others revelled in the energy of the music, Jurd laughing, Nathoo concentrating hard.
The intensity was sustained after the interval, and the solos got even better. We couldn't concentrate on anything else when Laura Jurd took a solo, such on the tune 'Slumps', which jumps in and out of double time. The sheer inventiveness and overall coherency of her playing, with solos that always have a story to tell, makes it a treat to listen to her on the stand. Later, Nathoo brought his beautifully round sound to bear on the funky 'Mugs', and was then joined by Jurd for a double solo that took the heat up to boiling point, melodic lines flying all over the place.
The interplay between musicians was great to see and hear; the band is cohesive. Williams is a strong leader, holding things down and pushing things forward, locking in with Ibbetson. Nathoo and Jurd also made a strong horn section, blending together beautifully on the heads; they are fully aware of the other's space, even when they took up contrapuntal lines or cam back in from solos. Galvin's part was particularly compelling because he added depth through texture. He explored sonic ideas fearlessly, if not frantically, on both accordion and piano, the latter of which he prepared with all manner of objects such as mini-boules and duct tape. The accordion should not be underestimated, as it creates a unique atmosphere, almost creepy at times.
Williams' compositions fuse sounds from across the musical timeline, and like those his peers in the Chaos Collective, they expand the horizons of jazz and improvised music. Hon is highly recommended for its freshness in composition, great chemistry and perhaps more importantly, its sense of fun. All the players on stage were into what they were doing, and so was everyone in the audience.

I love helping my clients find the simplest and most economical solutions to their online marketing needs. Connecting with them and supporting their work is truly rewarding.
Most of my clients are from the Perth, Lanark County, Ottawa, and Kingston area, where I've worked since 2008. My business was built entirely on word-of-mouth referrals, so having good relationships with my clients is a priority.
The people I've worked for know I'm reliable and fast, and that I want my clients to have a positive and satisfying experience. They also know I want them to be totally comfortable with their website. That's why I provide personalized training, so they can work with their new website as easily as possible.
I am very passionate about making the world a better place, starting with my community. It's the reason I've worked with so many small, local businesses and non-profit organizations. Besides designing websites, I am involved in Transition Perth and other community projects, and am part of the teaching team at Permaculture Eastern Ontario.
In my time off, you may find me in my garden, or drawing or reading. I enjoy travelling nearby and far away, hiking, and meeting new people.

- The American Shakespeare Center
The American Shakespeare Company harnesses power of the original Elizabethan stage, universal lighting, contemporary costuming, and audience inclusion, to bring the works of Shakespeare alive (photo courtesy of Staunton Convention and Visitors Bureau_
The hills of Virginia may seem an odd place to go hunting for an authentic piece of Shakespeare, yet tucked among the rolls and swells of the Shenandoah Valley sits one of the most honest and celebrated Shakespearean Theaters in the country. Moved by the surprisingly simple principle that Shakespeare should be viewed in the way that the bard himself directed it, the American Shakespeare Company has revolutionized the Shakespearean performance by taking it back almost four hundred years. In a recreation of Blackfriar's Playhouse of fame, the company harnesses the power of minimalist sets, contemporary costuming, and universal lighting—meaning that no curtain of darkness separates the audience from their entertainment—to mimic the accessibility and inclusion that were the hallmarks of the Elizabethan stage. This, combined with a constantly rotating roster of maniacal villains, heartrending damsels, and clownish buffoons (often, in true Shakespearean style, played by the same actor), culminate in an atmosphere unlike any other, a celebration of sight, sound, and stage worthy of the name, The American Shakespeare Company.
- The Frontier Culture Museum
The American Frontier Museum doesn't stop at providing one-dimensional historical recreations (photo courtesy Staunton Convention and Visitors Bureau)
The name of the Frontier Culture Museum isn't really fair. It's hard to imagine how the word "museum"—with all the connotations of stale and stuffy, dehydrated history under glass—could possibly be applied. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Virginia's rolling hills—achingly green or brilliantly dressed in fall display—laced with mossy rock walls and weathered split-rail fences, and peppered with neatly plotted garden patches, lowing cattle, and herds of self-satisfied, munching sheep, the Frontier Culture Museum is a living, breathing thing. Through a series of period-perfect architectural recreations, the museum tells the story of the forging of the American identity: the steady evolution of English and Irish settlements through the 1740's, 1820's, and 1850's, the hauntingly sparse story of the Native American tribes that once lived among the hills, and the true regional heritage of the 250,000 African slaves that were brought against their will to work the region's tobacco farms. With exquisitely detailed exhibits, period savvy reenactors, and the benefit of being nestled amongst some of the most awe-inspiring natural scenery in Virginia, the Frontier Culture Museum must not be missed.
- The Beverley District
Downtown Staunton is a charming mix of 19th-century architecture and modern charm (photo courtesy Woods Pierce)
One look down Beverley Street, and it's easy to see why Staunton is the first city in Virginia to win the Great American Main Street Award. The eleven blocks that make up the downtown, colloquially called the Beverley Historic District, ooze a quaint and quirky charm found nowhere else. Rows of tightly knit and meticulously kept historic buildings follow the gentle undulations of the Shenandoah Hills, a free trolley trundles along the well swept streets, and local galleries, one-of-a-kind boutiques, craft beer dens, and a vast variety locovore-centric restaurants tempt passersby. The buildings' styles boast an impressively eclectic range—Beaux Arts nestled next to Victorian, Federal with Romanesque Revival—and yet somehow, the warmth and welcome, charm and polish of the Beverley District come together to create a cohesive character unlike any other.
- The Skyline Drive
The 105-mile stretch of Skyline Drive offers unbeatable views (photo courtesy of Jim Lukach).
Though the idyllic charm within the city limits of Staunton stands testament to man's ability to build beauty out of the wilderness, a short drive up the road provides ample proof that nature often does just fine on her own. The Skyline Drive, a 105-mile stretch of serpentine roadway that rides the spine of the Blue Ridge Mountains, runs through some of the most breathtaking scenery in the country. Un-mown roadsides allow native Virginian wildflowers—deep pools of waxy leaved trillium, red bursts of cardinal flowers, and fiery swathes of black-eyed susans and goldenrod—to put on an ever-changing seasonal display among the sun-tipped swells and vales of the Shenandoah Valley. Native fauna isn't the only thing to marvel at, however; rabbits, black bear, and deer are just as likely to come ambling up to say hello as anything on two legs. The Skyline takes about three hours to drive, but with seventy-five overlooks to stop and stretch the legs, and awe-inspiring vistas on either side, it's well worth the trip.
- The Stonewall Brigade Band
Originally called the Mountain Saxhorn Band, the group began in 1855 (photo courtesy the Stonewall Brigade Band)
If you're fortunate enough to be around Staunton on a Monday evening in midsummer, be sure to make the trip down to Gypsy Hill Park, where in the soft Virginia twilight, you'll find the Stonewall Brigade Band —the oldest continuous community band in the nation—carrying on a tradition 160 years in the making. Since their first formal concert in 1857, the band has been indelibly tied to Staunton's history; as deeply as one can plumb, the outfit has provided the musical backdrop for the city's civic events, religious services, and dress parades. Their service to the city runs much deeper than bugles and brass buttons, however; when the boys of Staunton donned the gray and joined the ranks of the Confederacy, the band was right behind them, providing support not only with music, but by stepping up to perform combat-related tasks when duty called. When the surviving members of the band returned from war, they picked up precisely where they left off, playing for the town they had valiantly striven to protect. Today's members carry on this tradition, performing free shows weekly throughout the summer, each of which is imbued with the pride and fortitude of the rich history of the Stonewall Brigade Band.

Wonderful e-article on the Staunton area! Thanks so much for the great endorsement.
One edit item… the quote on the slide (in the slideshow) for the Frontier Culture Museum says "recreations of architecture from around the globe"…. in fact, these are not recreations but actual historic building that were disassembled, shipped to Staunton, and then reassembled on the grounds of the Museum to create our living history exhibits. Only the Indian Hamlet and West African exhibits are recreations due to the non-existence of available preserved historical structures.
Best regards,

Wonderful series of stories that do capture much of the essence of Staunton. In addition to the Beverley District, there are five other historice districts featuring Federal period and Victorian architecture and the former Western State psychiatric hospital (1828), now being converted into a vibrant community. And don't miss the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind of the same era. both featuring the work of Thomas Blackburn, an apprectice of Thomas Jefferson. (Remember, before the Civil War Virginia was much larger, and Staunton was the center of the western portion of the state and thus home not only to the two state institutions (VSDB and Western State), but to many private schools and institutes (of which Stuart Hall and Mary Baldwin College are the heirs). In addtion to the restaurants listed, there are many more serving a wide variety of American and ethnic cuisines, from Chinese to Italian to Indian to Thai and Mexican.

I've been storytelling from the moment I could speak.
I was the one around the campfire telling stories to frighten the other kids. The one watching a scary movie and laughing with glee rather than hiding under the seat.
I love writing crime thrillers.
The moment I write the last sentence, another three plots have formed in my head. I consider being an author and sharing my stories as one of the greatest gifts a person can have.
What inspired me to write?
I remember watching an old black and white movie with Abbott and Costello. One of the lines of dialogue sticks in my mind and conjures so many plots I have difficulty keeping up with them all: " OOhh, I knew I'd never be satisfied until I had his blood running between my fingers…so slowly I turned step by step, step by step I crept upon him."
I spent twenty years as an All Breeds International Cat Judge.
I went on to become Tutor Judge and President of The Queensland Independent Cat Council. I resigned last year to devote my time to writing.
I was born at home in front of the fireplace.
On the floor in a Georgian house in London during a blizzard. Three years later under a compulsory purchase order the government knocked down the beautiful house built a school in its place. Maybe I should sent the principle one of my books.
I love the beach.
I spend as much time as possible walking in the sand and having a paddle. It is a great place to think and plot stories.
I am fascinated with Forensic Science.
Give me a good book on blood spatter or the latest methods to uncover trace evidence in a crime scene and I'm happy. Studying the subject has been a dream come true.
I still have the teddy bear given to me the day I was born.
I still treasure it, even with no fur and a wobbly head. His name is Teddy Bear. He the only memory I have of my parents.
I really enjoy writing the scary bits in my stories.
I have a plot but dance around it to keep it interesting. Sending people into dark cellars with murderers or into forests at night gives me goose bumps. I love it.
My characters are important to me.
In my head, they are like real people. I can see them and writing for me is like watching a movie unfold in my head. Jenna Alton and David Kane are people with secrets. They both have problems to overcome like everyone else. Riding the rollercoaster of emotions with two people fighting crime, for me keeps it real. What I have to put them through scares me.

This morning I was heading off to a meeting, and cycled along Welham Road. I was running a bit late, so wasn't able to take the pictures on the way without cars parked on the street.
Last year there was a public meeting discussing the schools plans to 'make better use' of Welham road and turn 'dead space' into a 'more positive community asset'. The proposals as were circulated would result in limiting access for people on foot, bike or using mobility aids to travel along the road.
Do you think this could happen in a 'dead space'? Do you see this very often on residential streets that have don't have controlled motorised access, or restrict through access for motor vehicles?
Inspired by other blogs covering road safety and urban design, I thought that a local one could help raise the profile in our area. Hope that this will help us have a better Tooting and Wandsworth.

Labour tried to silence me!
This week has been a busy one. I hope that what took place on Tuesday evening won't prevent progress on what I believe to be a widely shared aspiration to create safer streets.
The local Labour party (their representatives on the committee) voted to silence me, and by extension the hundreds of people who have supported my petitions. They singled me out, as they didn't choose to try to stop the other deputations who wanted to speak.
You can view the decisions made by the committee here.
I went along to speak on papers 14-371 and 14-379. The local elections have come and gone. However, it seems clear from the actions of the Labour team, that I will really need more help from local people to get further progress on our streets.
The Fishponds scheme was discussed, and whilst I fully accept that local people responded negatively to the consultation (not too surprising given the wording of it), the recommendations from the council is to do nothing. Neither Labour, nor the Conservatives (as far as I'm aware) have been prepared to put forward any proposals to try to fix what is a widely acknowledged problem with traffic in the local area.
I live in hope that the wide spread goal of creating safer streets will mean that people of differing political persuasions can work together. However, if the Labour team are not prepared to listen to differing points of view, it is difficult to see exactly how positive consensual progress can be made.
Sticking our heads in the sand and hoping that long standing problems will go away doesn't work. It isn't easy to put solutions in place, but the longer we leave them, the greater the cost to our community.
If you would like to join me and help campaign do get in touch.

Hilton Head Island
For cat's return
Someone once said, "Dogs have owners, cats have staff." I would like to add to the feline gamut the amazing community of Hilton Head Island:
Compassionate neighbors, friends and visiting families; Hilton Head Christian Academy students (who prayed hard for Tiki's return); utility, pool, golf and grounds maintenance workers; administrative, hospitality, and food and beverage (especially the Salty Dog, Planet Smoothie and Starbucks); local UPS and FedEx drivers; golfers, bikers and dog walkers; the Hilton Head Humane Association; and local veterinarian offices.
Earlier this month, we began a quest to find our beloved pet, Tiki, a timid Tonkinese cat. He came home two weeks later, semi-starved and with blistered paws and a tale we'll never hear.
Today, we know three key reasons we call Hilton Head Island our home: compassion, community and (you probably saw this coming) cat lovers.
Thank you.
Kim Kachmann-Geltz and family
Hilton Head Island
For amazing art
Have you visited the Art League of Hilton Head's gallery at the Arts Center of the Coastal Carolina? The exhibit that opened March 3 is spectacular.
This exhibit features artists Mary Sullivan and Kevin Eichner. Upon entering the gallery, you are welcomed by Eichner's statuesque bronze-colored metal sculptures and wall hangings.
These bold sculptures are surrounded by Sullivans' delicate, colorful abstract paintings of water media, inks and acrylic, just a delight to see in the soft lights of the beautiful Walter Greer gallery.
Included in this exhibit are many new artists who have recently joined the Art League, which now boasts more than 160 active artists.
Do not miss this show. Congratulations to the Art League and the arts center.

For pantry donation
The youth group of the First Presbyterian Church of Hilton Head Island, led by the Rev. Sam Martin, participated in the Souper Bowl of Caring on Super Bowl Sunday.
Their efforts resulted in a donation of $976 and was presented to the Rev. Dr. Nannette Pierson, founder and director of the Sandalwood Community Food Pantry.
These funds will provide fresh fruit and vegetables to our children and diabetic clients.
The Rev. Dr. Nannette Pierson
To Bargain Box
As the recent recipient of grant funding from The Bargain Box, Bluffton Self Help extends a heartfelt thank you for its continued support and generosity to the many nonprofit organizations in the community.
Funds received from The Bargain Box directly support the rental and utility assistance programs of Bluffton Self Help.
These programs enable working families, seniors and disabled individuals to remain in their homes and without the interruption of utility services when they have experienced a crisis or unbudgeted expense.
With many families struggling during the fluctuating economic times, we are proud to be able to help ease their worries with temporary financial assistance.
Thank you to The Bargain Box for helping Bluffton Self Help assist our neighbors who experience difficult situations.
We are so appreciative of the efforts of the dedicated volunteers who donate their time, talents and services to ensure that The Bargain Box is able to continue helping the many worthy community organizations and their causes. Your hard work helps so many.
Julie Del Guercio
Interim director
Bluffton Self Help
For TCL support
On behalf of the Technical College of the Lowcountry Foundation and the students we serve, I would like to thank The Bargain Box for its generous donation to the foundation's scholarship fund.
The foundation's key mission is providing scholarships to deserving students in Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties. Contributions, like the one made by The Bargain Box, aid students in bridging the financial gap that would otherwise separate them from fulfilling their educational goals.
These scholarship awards go directly to pay for students' tuition or book costs.
With the support of local businesses, organizations and individuals, TCL has been able to open doors for students seeking an affordable, accessible and quality education. Their lives have been changed because of the generosity of our community and its members, such as The Bargain Box.
The TCL Foundation awards more than $75,000 a year in scholarships to its students. The average award for tuition assistance is about $500. To learn more about how to help local students earn their education, go to tcl.edu/foundation.
Thanks again to The Bargain Box and its many volunteers for supporting TCL and its students.
This donation helps TCL fulfill its vision of leading the region to economic prosperity by providing innovative work force solutions to the thousands of students the college serves.
Dianne K. Garnett,
executive director
Technical College of the Lowcountry Foundation
For Frisbee tourney
Hilton Head Ultimate Frisbee is very impressed by the outreach in the community for our charity tournaments.
We would like to thank everyone who helped make our third annual "La Cucaracha" Tournament a success March 5 and 6.
A special thanks to all area Publix stores, the Walmart Supercenter in Hardeeville and the Piggly Wiggly in Bluffton. Without their contributions, our donation to Bluffton Self Help would not have been possible.
Thanks to the Island Recreation Association and Beaufort County Parks and Leisure Services for use of the fields.
Also, thanks to all of the teams that came out from the entire East Coast and to all the coordinators of Hilton Head Ultimate for helping us have a fun and productive tournament.
Amanda Taylor
Carlos Chacon
From Heroes
On behalf of Hilton Head Heroes, I want to thank the Hilton Head Area Association of Realtors for its continuing generosity in dedicating the funds raised by Realtors through Birdies for Charity to Hilton Head Heroes.
Longtime Realtor and Hilton Head Heroes board member Hutch Hutchinson spearheaded this effort for many years. Hutch has passed away, and we are very pleased that the Realtors are carrying on his legacy.
Thanks to the Realtors' Association, other wonderful organizations in our area and the support of the community generally, Hilton Head Heroes continues to maintain the Heroes House in Sea Pines. Hilton Head Heroes provides free weeklong vacations for families of children with life-threatening illnesses.
This year we have families scheduled in the Heroes House nearly every week. This past year, thanks to the Realtors and others, we have been able to take the few vacant weeks that were available to refurbish and upgrade the house.
This is an ongoing effort and one for which we are most greatly appreciative of the financial and service support of our community.
Thanks again to the Hilton Head Area Association of Realtors for assisting Hilton Head Heroes in our efforts to provide a respite to families very much in need.

Looks like a busy August on Koh Phangan
It's August already, and Koh Phangan is getting much more lively. It's that time of the year when everyone wants to do their PADI course and go fun diving or snorkelling. This is fine for the team at the dive centre – we like to be busy and especially love the chance to offer a variety of dive trips. A South-westerly wind continues to blow when it shouldn't, making the surface a bit wavy, but we're still making big boat trips to Sail Rock and shore diving in Chaloklum Bay. It's still a little rough on the West coast of Koh Phangan at Mae Haad Reef and Koh...Read More
Low-seasonal Observations from a sultry Koh Phangan
After a surprisingly busy start to the month, it's now low season. Koh Phangan is once again a peaceful, laid-back and very hot/humid island. Mae Haad Beach is fairly deserted and you can even drive around Thongsala without wondering where the next crazy driver is coming from! The SCUBA diving is still good – Sail Rock has excellent visibility, mild current and the occasional Whale Shark. Although Chaloklum Bay is a little cloudy (but still dive-able) the reefs at Koh Ma and Mae Haad are fine for Discover SCUBA Diving, long shallow fun dives, and snorkelling of course. As ever...Read More
April news – Koh Phangan
As we approach the Songkran Festival on Koh Phangan, it's a surprise to see that the island is far from busy. Having said that, it's a not such a bad thing for the diving school as a few of our PADI professionals are taking short breaks in the near future. Diving-wise over the last month we've been making a lot more big boat trips than usual to Koh Phangan's local dive sites, as the diving has been particularly good here a lot of the time. A Koh Tao trip remains a definite possibility but sadly we've not been getting any good reports from Anthong Marine Park for...Read More
It's the February update from Chaloklum Diving!
Whale Shark sightings, Anthong Marine Park trips plus a whole lot of Divemaster trainees! It's been all action at Chaloklum Diving of late, as Koh Phangan is quite busy and the weather (touch wood!) has been behaving reasonably well… Up to a few days ago we were having regular Whale Shark encounters at Sail Rock – we've got some nice photos and a few videos on file, as well as a bunch of divers with happy memories! Diving conditions are a little rough out there at the moment but are forecast to be calming soon. Good news is that we've been able to start taking...Read More
A belated Happy New Year and Good Diving from Chaloklum!
It's a great relief to be able to offer good diving conditions this January. Looking back to the same time last year on Koh Phangan we were not so lucky! At the moment Sail Rock has clear water and little current, our local dive sites are clearing up – fine for dive courses and snorkelling already, and diving trips to the Marine Park and maybe Koh Tao are in the pipeline… And the dive centre is reasonably busy, principally with PADI Open Water Diver courses and fun diving trips. As ever we do also have some PADI Pro training on the go as the mighty Honza works hard to...Read More

My favorite part of award shows is that moment before the winners are announced, when they show all the nominees on a split screen. You can usually tell the seasoned veterans: While the newbies sweat and tremble, the older stars sit there, totally cool, enjoying that last second or so of being "hopefuls," ready to spring to the podium … and equally ready not to.
That's because most of them have been through this mill before. And the longer you're in show biz, the more times you experience not being the name in that envelope (unless, of course your name happens to be Meryl Streep).
The Golden Globes are especially fun that way, because the Globes are equal parts Awards Show and Big Hollywood Party. Aside from at our own Movies for Grownups Awards Gala, you won't find a Tinseltown gathering with more concentrated square feet of fun-seeking star power. It's one event that celebs actually enjoy being at, and the more times you've been, the more fun it becomes.
>> Sign up for the AARP Leisure Newsletter
This year, the Globes' Cool Veteran Star Meter will be positively buzzing. The film categories alone include such 50-plus legends as Robert Redford, Tom Hanks, Judi Dench, Emma Thompson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Bruce Dern. Oh, yeah, and Meryl Streep. Most emphatically, there's not one star in the group who would sneak under the wire with a Lifetime Achievement-type recognition. They all gave, in some way, career-defining performances in 2013.
Remember when it would be big news when a movie star moved to TV? Of course, it seldom worked out – just ask Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda and Bette Midler. These days even the biggest names shuttle between the two without raising any eyebrows. So this year, besides some stars whose greatest successes have come on the tube – including Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Seinfeld) and Michael J. Fox – this year's list of TV acting nominees reads like a Who's Who of former Oscar contenders, including Kevin Spacey, James Spader, Jessica Lange, Helen Mirren, Michael Douglas, Al Pacino and Jon Voight (somehow, Golden Glove voters have never gotten around to honoring Meryl Streep for her hilarious turns on Lisa Kudrow's Showtime series Web Therapy).
Who'll win at the Golden Globes? They're tricky to predict, because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is really just a little club of writers who, I've always thought, are easily swayed by their personal relationships with celebrities. That ought to make this Robert Redford's best chance at a big award this year. He'd be a worthy Oscar winner for All is Lost, but I think he may have picked too competitive a year to give the performance of his career. The Globes gang, on the other hand, has been champing at the bit to honor Redford as an actor for decades, and this is, perhaps, their last best chance. But then, unlike the reclusive Redford, Bruce Dern has been out there gladhanding everyone in sight to support his breakthrough movie Nebraska, and Globes voters do love it when a celeb sucks up to them.
Among the TV actors, if Bryan Cranston doesn't finally win a Golden Globe for this, his final season as a high school teacher-turned-crystal meth maker on Breaking Bad, well, a lot of people are going to be mighty strung out.
The actress stakes are more dicey at the Globes this year. Among the 50-plus stars, Emma Thompson seems to have the inside track for her performance as P.L. Travers in Saving Mr. Banks. But don't rule out Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who broke through on the big screen opposite James Gandolfini in Enough Said. Then again, she's also nominated for her truly great work on the TV sitcom Veep, and I'm betting that's where she'll triumph.
Welcome to the Awards Season, folks!

SodaStream's Banned Super Bowl Commercial Starring Scarlett JohanssonJanuary 27, 2014
(via SodaStream/YouTube)
Fox has reportedly rejected this Super Bowl commercial from SodaStream starring actress Scarlett Johansson, not because of any sexual messaging, but because it ends with her saying "Sorry, Coke and Pepsi."
SodaStream CEO Daniel Birnbaum tells Bruce Horovitz of USA Today Sports that Fox is "afraid" of Coke and Pepsi:
"What are they afraid of?" asks Birnbaum. "Which advertiser in America doesn't mention a competitor? This is the kind of stuff that happens in China. I'm disappointed as an American."
Thanks to Will Brinson of CBSSports.com for the find.

Ever since its foundation in the 15th century, Magdalen has had a strong tradition of research and teaching in the natural sciences. We are one of the larger colleges in the University for Biology and typically admit six or seven undergraduates for this subject each year. Biologists at Magdalen tend to be highly motivated and go on to pursue many diverse and interesting careers, including a large proportion who continue with postgraduate degrees in biological subjects. One of the key reasons for this commitment to biology at Magdalen is that we have a large group of fellows and tutors involved in teaching, creating a vibrant and exciting environment in which to study all aspects of this subject.
Our core teaching team comprises three tutorial fellows based in three different University departments: Professor Andrew Smith, who is a plant scientist specializing in physiological and biochemical adaptations to environmental stress; Professor Kevin Foster, who is an evolutionary biologist specializing in cooperation in bacteria and other organisms; and Professor Stephen Goodwin, a tutor in Biomedical Sciences, who teaches genetics. The teaching expertise of our three tutors is enhanced by two professorial fellows: Liam Dolan, who is Sherardian Professor of Botany and Keeper of the Botanic Garden; and Stuart West, a professor in Zoology who is an expert on social evolution in humans and other animals. Furthermore, our colleague Professor Laura Fortunato is a tutor in Human Sciences who has overlapping interests in evolutionary biology.

This month I wanted to talk about the advantages of using an RSS (Rich Site Summary) Feed Reader.
We're all busy, and Facebook can become a chore. If you frequently visit the same sites for content for your Facebook reposts, or if you sign up for their newsletters which then clogs up your inbox, STOP!
If the site or blog that you frequent offers RSS feeds, use them to consolidate all new articles into a single Reader site. This way, you just log into one site and pull off all the content you need in seconds versus minutes. You will know it's fresh (no more posting 3 day old articles) and you won't get sidetracked. It's easy to get lost once you hit a trade website, clicking on other articles that have nothing to do with what you want to post.

Garden Update – June 27Jun 27th, 2009 Posted in Yard Happenings | no comment »
I'm just giddy at how well my garden is doing! It's almost like cheating to have brand new raised beds and fresh blended topsoil. So far we're eating all of the lettuce varieties and I'm very impressed with the curly red-leaf variety from Al's and, of course, the Romaine is always a favorite. Not sure about the Chinese cabbage though. It's enormous and almost too much of a good thing. I'm thinking it's too aggressive for a raised-bed space. Ben's also chowing on his favorite Nasturtiums. He loves the spicy stuff.
We've also been taking advantage of the basil and cilantro. You just cannot beat fresh pesto. And, while I was shopping for some new cilantro plants for a little succession planting, I discovered a red leaf basil at Al's. It smells absolutely wonderful and I can't wait to make some purple pesto. Love it!
More garden news:
– Curly green lettuce (from seed) is ready for cutting
– I've got my first zucchini 🙂
– The ever-bearing strawberries have been a real treat (for me and the deer*)
– Lots of green tomatoes and peppers
– Sweet snap peas are climbing high on the "tomato" cages with peas almost ready for eating. My planting secret: Dig 1/2 inch deep, 1 ft diameter circle, throw in 10-12 pea seeds, cover with dirt and plop a tomato cage in the middle. It works fantastic. The deer* have found my peas as well this year, but so far have only nibbled the tops off of one cage (I have 4).
– Bean plants and lemon cucumbers are looking good, but no fruit yet.
– Onions are tasty and growing great. I planted a lot so I could use some as babies and some as full-size later.
– Pumpkin plants are growing big, but no flowers
– Potatoes are proving hard to keep up with. I think I'm done mounding on the dirt for this year
*Deer: We do not have a deer fence this year, since we had to move the garden. It's a risky game we're playing, but so far the damage has been very minimal. I've received a lot of advice and here are my favorites: have the boys pee around the garden, hang nylon socks full of human hair around the garden and scatter dog poop around the garden. I think I'll try the hair since the other options will make me want to stay away too!

Falsely Accused
November 3, 2008
So the Sis was wondering how she got these bruises on her thigh, and then she noticed (or so she claims) that the bruises are in the shape of a paw print. Here is some pretty shoddy photographic evidence if you ask me. Look how blurry that picture is! She drew the lines to highlight where they supposed bruises are. I think the evidence should be thrown out and case dismissed! She says she's going to hold our paws up to it to see who fits. Looks like Akira to me….

Nah! That paw is too huge for us, Shiba Inus.
Insufficient evidence, case dismissed.

The Gloucester History Festival announce a new look committee to help the event grow from strength to strength. The new additions bring with them expertise in a range of fields from festival management and programming to archaeology and historical music.
Donna Renney (former Chief Executive of Cheltenham Festivals), Councillor Sebastian Field (historian and a choral singer with Ensemble Sine Nomine) and Emily Knight (new Events Co-ordinator at Marketing Gloucester with a background in archaeology) join the current organisers from Marketing Gloucester, Gloucester Civic Trust, Gloucester City Council and Richard Graham MP.
The Gloucester History Festival encompasses many local traditions such as the Gloucester Day parade (celebrating the lifting of the English Civil War Siege) and coincides with the national Heritage Open Days (of which Gloucester is the third largest event in the country).
The weeklong programme of History Talks cover subjects of local and national interest in the magnificently preserved Blackfriars Priory, and the festival works closely with Gloucester's museums to bring fun and educational activities for children and families.
Richard Graham MP said:
"I'm delighted that Donna Renney, with all her great experience of festivals in Gloucestershire has joined our committee. She will have a big impact on our programme and fund raising. I'm also pleased that chorister and Councillor, Sebastian Field has joined and will help shape the musical side of the History Festival, an area where we can do more.
2015 is a big year for Gloucester and the History Festival is no exception. The anniversary of the de Montfort Parliament and the challenges for the King crowned in Gloucester – Henry III – is important. Other key national anniversaries include Agincourt, the arrival of our Hanoverian kings in 1715, Waterloo, the Commonwealth contribution to World War I, the end of World War Two, the 50th anniversary of the death of Winston Churchill. There are other landmarks in our social history and together these are all moments in the past that affect us today. Our Festival will cover many of these and we look forward to announcing speakers soon".
Jason Smith said:
"Heritage tourism is growing rapidly in the UK and is a significant driver for visitors to Gloucester. The annual History Festival has rapidly been established as one of the most important in the country and the new members of the team will help continue the growth of the festival. I am very happy to be asked by Richard Graham to continue supporting the festival and delighted to be joined by people with such a wealth of experience on what is already an excellent committee. I am confident that the 2015 festival will be the best yet."
Gloucester History Festival Committee in full:
Jason Smith (Marketing Gloucester) – Chief Executive
Richard Graham MP – Chairman
John Lovell (Gloucester Civic Trust) – Secretary
Donna Renney (GUST)
Sebastian Field (Gloucester City Council)
Sara h Gilbert (Gloucester City Council)

We're not the ones who are meant to follow
On one hand, I don't want to jinx myself. On the other I think that ship has sailed. So let's talk about banks again, because they are such asshats that it's endless material.
One deal I'm working on is with Chase. I hate Chase so much that I went and cancelled my personal account. I have that much hate for them. The last straw was someone took $105 out of the account. I don't know who. They couldn't tell me who and they didn't give a damn to help me figure it out. I used to have two personal accounts. It was really a pain in the ass anyway. Now I have one. They made the choice easy.
I have a short sale with them right now. The borrower came to me in late September and needed to unload a property that she over encumbered and then lost her job and couldn't make the payments. Her retirement was gone trying to save the house. Her unemployment had run out. In October she was stone broke. I FedExed an HAFA package to the bank on 10/4. I called on 10/8 to check to see if the package was received and basically ask about what was next in their procedures. Oh, they couldn't talk to me because they didn't have authorization to talk to me. Uh, the authorization is in the package I sent you along with the listing agreement. No, you have to send an authorization to this fax machine. Seriously. Fax machine. Who uses those any more? The big banks. All of them. I draw up another authorization and drive 30 miles to meet my seller and have her sign it. Again. Then I come back and fax it to that number. I wait four days and call. Oh, not that number, use these numbers. I fax it to these numbers and wait four days. Oh, not those numbers, this number. Really? I got pissed and faxed it 9 times to each number.
Sometime around Thanksgiving I finally called and the authorization had been uploaded and they could talk to me about the modification. The huh? The modification. Oh no, it's not a modification, if you'll look you'll see that Chase denied a modification about three weeks before I sent you the short sale package. No, this is a modification. No, you guys denied the modification in September. Why would I send you another one? This is the HAFA short sale package. It says here in the computer it's a modification. It says in your computer that the package I sent on October 4th is a modification? Yes. No. It's not. Why would their be a listing agreement for a modification? I don't know. OK, why don't y'all RTFD and get back to me. Two more weeks of silence.
Now I've sold the property because it's been like 60 days and even I can sell a house in 60 days. And I sold this one myself. I send them the offer on 12/8. I call four days later and find out that they have uploaded the modification template instead of the short sale template into their machine and can't talk to me about the transaction. They need to delete the template and then reload the right one and then they will be able to put the documents into the system and talk to me. I call them every three days and they repeat this same asinine story every three days.
On the fourth of January, I lose my mind. I think I've done well up to this point. A friend of mine gave me the phone numbers to the executive offices of BofA and Chase. I call Chase's executive offices and ask them exactly how long the process of correcting the template mistake should take? Since it's their mistake. 24 hours later the right template is uploaded and I've been assigned Jeff. Jeff is a high D for DOMINANT DRIVEN DIRECT DOMINEER personality. I've been assigned a guy in the short sale department who will review the file and assign it to a negotiator. I think I'm headed to the promised land. Not so fast Bucko.
On January 17 I receive an email from some d-bag who wants some extra documents. They are actually documents that weren't needed back in October, like the November and December bank statements from my client. Then he gives me five days to respond or the short sale is off. Are you kidding me? After 111 days of waiting for Chase to pull their heads out of their collective asses they have the brass balls to give me 5 days to respond? I got everything to them in two days. Silence. So I write the little d-bag back on day four and ask "Do you have everything you need?" He responds "yes". That was 7 days ago. I want to write the little jackhole and say "You have five days to respond and then I'm going to advise my 70 year old unemployed Grandma client to call her Congressman". But I don't because the buyer backed out yesterday and I have to put it back on the market.
I've heard Bank of America is getting better. I've heard of approvals from them in two weeks. Remember when I said I heard Matt Vernon, their executive in charge of all distressed properties speak? One of the things he said was that two or three years down the line when the economy turns around, all these people who are in trouble right now will be back on their feet. If we treat them poorly now, they won't ever do business with us again. We are laying the foundation for our future. We have to help.
Too bad there's no one like Matt at Chase.
Not to worry, BofA has their own issues. Here's some cheap entertainment.

Thousands suffer nose bleeds and vomiting during 'worst environmental disaster since BP'
AN INVISIBLE environmental disaster which has been compared to the 2010 Gulf of Mexico BP oil spill has forced thousands of people from their homes after suffering nosebleeds, sickness and headaches.
People have left the area after suffering nose bleeds and vomiting
Residents, who have complained of foul egg-like smells, have been left with nosebleeds, headaches and nausea, after millions of kilograms of invisible methane was released into the air by a gas company that has been unable to stem the leak for weeks.
Methane has no smell, but because of its highly flammable nature, has the poisonous chemical mercaptan (known in the industry as stench due to its sulphurous smell) added, so leaks can be detected quickly.
Environmental activist Erin Brockovich, who was played by Julia Roberts in the Hollywood biopic of the same name, has branded it one of the worst environmental disasters since the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.
The problem stared in October when a natural gas well sprung a major leak and the company behind it has been unable to fill it more than two months on.
The highly flammable methane pumped out of the Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) natural gas storage plant in Aliso Canyon.
Residents have mounted protests over the delays in stopping the leak
Methane - given off by the natural decomposition of most things including dead plants and animals and household waste - is a major greenhouse gas and contributor to global warming.
The leak started on October 23 in the Los Angeles town.
Residents claim the gas, which has drifted into surrounding neighborhoods, is making them suffer from nausea, nosebleeds, and headaches and thousands of people have moved out temporarily.
Investigators have been unable to establish why or how it started and workers are reportedly not close to tackling it yet.
The exact level of the leak is unkown but tests from an aircraft that flew through the invisible gas plume on December 23 two months after the incident estimated 66million kgs had been released.
The California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board told Tech Insider: "That translates into a global warming potential of about 1.6mmetric tonnes of CO2 [carbon dioxide]."
This is the site which is the source of the leak
I want to assure the public that we intend to mitigate environmental impacts from the actual natural gas released from the leak and will work with state officials to develop a framework that will help us achieve this goal.
That is around the same as the annual emissions of about 347,000 vehicles.
It is estimated the work to plug the leak may continue until March - five months after the incident - meaning it could be more than double the level by that time.
Concerned locals have held demos about the "environmental disaster" which is being investigated by the Los Angeles City Council.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says exposure to the chemical mercaptan, which is added to the gas to give it that detectable sulfurous smell, can cause staggered gait, vomiting, irritation of the respiratory system, wheezing, rapid heart beat, arm and leg rigidity, bluish discolouration of the skin, and irritated eyes and mucous membranes.
Industrial exposures could even put someone in a coma and cause death by a blocked lung artery up to 28 days later, it said.
The case has similarities to a more minor methane leak that blighted residents in Basildon, Essex, in the UK, 12 years ago.
In late 2003 residents complained of suffering breathing problems, nausea, headaches and streaming eyes, when a mystery egg-like smell emerged often at night when the wind dropped.
Pitsea landfill site, in Basildon, Essex, had methane leaks in 2003
It took a campaign by local newspaper the Yellow Advertiser to get the Environment Agency to pinpoint and identify the sources as methane leaks from the vast Pitsea tip landfill site a few miles away.
After thousands of residents backed the campaign a £2m clean up operation to cap the landfill site took place, but that took several months to finalise.
Cleanaway, which ran the site at the time, was let off with an official warning by the agency.
The events unfolding in Los Angeles are on a much bigger scale and affecting more people.
The human side-effects are said to be temporary, but there are fears the environmental impact will be long lasting.
Methane is the second most common greenhouse gas after CO2, but absorbs more heat, locking it into the atmosphere.
Some climate scientists argue methane warms Earth up to thousands of times faster than CO2.
Gases coming from the well are invisible, but on December 17 an infrared camera revealed the enormous plume.
SoCal Gas teams are drilling a relief well 8,000ft deep to pump with fluids and cement to hopefully plug the flow of gas.
But it will not be drilled until late March.
A company spokesperson said: "SoCalGas recognises the impact this incident is having on the environment."
SoCalGas president Dennis Arriola said: "I want to assure the public that we intend to mitigate environmental impacts from the actual natural gas released from the leak and will work with state officials to develop a framework that will help us achieve this goal."

It was noticed last week that a Missing Timestamp attribute was causing ConfigMgr 2012 Sp1 Client installation issues. Specifically when trying to do client push or via an OSD Task Sequence the client would try and install MicrosoftPolicyPlatformSetup.msi and would error out with Return Code 0x800b0101. Obviously this needed to be resolved and a hotfix was released shortly after. Below is the KB article with a hotfix which will need to be applied to all site servers in your hierarchy, once applied Client Push and OSD will continue to work and problem solved. Hope this helps anyone running into this issue.

Bernard Shaw's The Doctor's Dilemma begins previews tomorrow at the Shaw Festival
Life does not cease to be funny when people die, any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
Bernard Shaw's The Doctor's Dilemma begins previews tomorrow at the Shaw Festival
Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, June 9, 2010….The Doctor's Dilemma, the first of two productions by the Shaw Festival's namesake, begins previews tomorrow at the Festival Theatre. Morris Panychdirects this comic piece that poses some very relevant questions: when medical resources are limited, should a doctor decide who receives treatment and should those who can afford treatment be the first in line to receive it?
With his usual distinctive wit, Shaw tests the humanity of a doctor and presents a moral dilemma. Sir Colenso Ridgeon (Patrick Galligan) has discovered a lifesaving cure, but faces an ethical quandary.With only enough of his new cure for tuberculosis left for one patient, who should he save? Dr. Blenkinsop (Ric Reid), a kindly colleague who serves the poor, or the extremely talented but unscrupulous young artist Louis Dubedat (Jonathan Gould), who also happens to have a beautiful young wife (Krista Colosimo)?
Also featured are Michael Ball as Sir Patrick Cullen and Thom Marriott as Sir Ralph Bloomfield Bonington, with Wade Bogert-O'Brien, Catherine McGregor, Patrick McManus, Kelly Penner,Cherissa Richards and Jonathan Widdifield.
The Doctor's Dilemma has set design by Ken MacDonald, costume design by Charlotte Dean and lighting design by Alan Brodie. The stage management team includes Stage Manager Dora Tomassiand Assistant Stage Manager Leigh McClymont.
First performed on November 20, 1906, at the Royal Court Theatre in London, The Doctor's Dilemmahas had three previous incarnations at the Shaw Festival — in 1969, 1991 and 2000, directed respectively by Dillon Evans, Paul Lampert and Christopher Newton.
The Doctor's Dilemma begins preview performances Thursday, June 10, opens Friday, July 9 and plays in repertory until Saturday, October 30. The Doctor's Dilemma is sponsored by Bell.
In the spirit of George Bernard Shaw, the Shaw Festival provokes the mind and stirs the soul through a theatre experience so compelling that, year after year, ever-broadening groups of artists, audiences and supporters are drawn to our work in Niagara-on-the-Lake and beyond.
