Back in 1908, when Henry Ford first produced his model T, a motor-mad toad stole one of them, which led to a lengthy prison sentence when Kenneth Grahame's The Wind In The Willows was published. This was one of the earliest appearances of a motor car in literature – certainly the first instance of motor theft!
Since then, cars have been central to many a story, helping drive along plots in much-loved books for more than a century. Today is World Book Day and we're remembering some of those marvellous motors – and not just the ones features in those Haynes manuals. Poot! Poot!
Perhaps the most famous literary car has to be Chitty Chitty Band Bang – 'our fine four-fendered friend,' as the song from the 1968 film goes. Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang: The Magical Car is a children's novel written by Ian Fleming for his son Caspar.
The film was produced by Albert R Broccoli, co-producer of the James Bond film series, which were based on Fleming's more famous series of books.
In the novels, Secret Agent James Bond got behind the wheel of a variety of cars, including a 1930 Bentley, a Ford Thunderbird and, or course, an Aston Martin DB Mark III.
More recently, JK Rowling gave us a magical with the Flying Ford Anglia in her Harry Potter books. The 1960s light blue was enchanted by Arthur Weasley and was fitted with an Invisibility Booster. It was used to rescue Harry from the Dursleys' home where he was being held captive.
A less child-friendly auto is the Stephen King's Christine – a red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury which was possessed by supernatural forces. The novel was turned into a grisly film in 1983, which saw the classic car stalk the streets of Libertyville, fixing her own dents and scratches after her murder sprees.
Nearly 20 years later, King wrote a second story around a classic car - From A Buick 8 in 2002. The titular 1953 Buick Roadmaster was also a self-repairing vintage car, but this time was a vessel to another world instead of a killing machine.
Another sci-fi tale, though nowhere near as recognisable as King's creations, is The Number Of The Beast by Robert A Heinlein. Published in 1980, the tale follows a group of friends as they travel through different universes in their modified car, the Gay Deceiver, equipped with a 'continua' device which helps them travel through dimensions.
One of the greatest road trips put down on paper is the adventures of Sal Paradise, and his friend Dean Moriarty in Jack Kerouac's beat novel On The Road. The pair share experiences around America, travelling by any which way they can – including a brand new 1949 Hudson Commodore, a beat-up 1947 Cadillac rental car and an even more beat-up 1937 Ford Sedan.
Staying with classic literature, in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, a fatal accident involving his 1928 Rolls Royce Tourer unravelled a lavish lifestyle in the Roaring Twenties with a pretty tragic conclusion.

My husband Monte and I have procrastinated about painting our house for too long. However, over time I've picked up paint chips of many colors.
Our house is mostly covered with cedar shakes stained a shade of redwood.
The cedar shakes are very New England. My daughter Sandy's house is also covered in cedar shakes. Not the thin shakes you find in the department stores, but thick shakes it is difficult to find in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Thus, when Monte and I traveled to New England in 2008 we visited a shake-maker in Corinth, Maine, northwest of Bangor. We loaded our car with four large bundles of these shakes. It was great fun to open our car door each morning to be assaulted by the odor, which in small amounts is pleasant, but in concentrated doses…well, think of skunk—almost. We transported four bundles over many miles and many days to our Southwestern Pennsylvania home.
But I digress. The starting point in picking a paint color is the cedar shakes. The continuing point is the use of two shades of the chosen color, or two different colors, one of primary use and the other an accent.
Take into consideration that we live in a cottage home in a park-like setting. To me, some colors just don't fit this setting. A good example is (more…)

text: The usage of eye trackers is becoming more and more popular in the field of information visualization. In this project two eye trackers, The Eye Tribe nd Mirametrix S2, are used to obtain eye tracking data for visualizations. It is planned to use the eye trackers with OnGraX, a network visualization system, where they will provide data for the implementation of visualizations, specifically, heatmaps. OnGraX already uses heatmaps to show regions in a network that have been in the viewport of the user. One aim of this thesis will be the comparison between the two eye trackers, and if the use of eye tracking data gives better results thatn the already existing viewport-based approach. At the same time, we provide the foundation for adaptive visualizations with OnGraX. Our research problem is also of interest for visualization in general, because it will help to improve and develop eye tracking technology in this context. To support the outcome of our implementation, we carried out a user study. As a result, we concluded that one of the two eye trackers appears to have more capabilities than the other, and that using the eye tracking data is a more preferred way of depicting the heatmaps on OnGraX.

Trying to chill you down even more here with this gorgeous hunk of a house listed by Stevie Chaddick, who recently left Allie Beth Allman after yearsto sell real estate at Keller Williams Elite at Preston Center. (My psychic tells me many lunches at Sevys in my future now!) Excited for Stevie, but even more excited over her newest listing: 3812 Southwestern.This delicious, cool-blue stucco facade baby doll was built in 2004 by Jim Shaw and no cost was spared — Stevie tells me the back yard (80 foot lot, huge for PC) was completely re-done by Lamberts, and it is so private there you think you are in your own little oasis. 7,618 square feet, the home has five bedrooms and 6.2 bathrooms, a 500-bottle wine vault, and a three-car garage on that generous lot. This would have come in handy last week in Pebble Beach: five fireplaces. Also would have been handy — heated floors in the master spa bath. The master suite in this home is 1,000 square feet, larger than most apartments! Extra touches include CAT 5 wiring, extraordinary appliances, and a security system to catch, I guess, anyone lifting the vino out of that wine vault. Listed at $3,150,000 and yes, I know DCAD has it appraised at just over $2,127,140 but Stevie tells me the owner found himself a real sharp tax agent.
So what do you think? Pretty home, no? Overpriced or is the price just right?

Inform yourself. Domestic violence has long been a threatening entity with devastating results and irreversible consequences. Abusers often develop deep emotional and psychological problems, sometimes filtering back to their own abused childhood.
Change is never easy, and often achievable for the abuser. Only his willingness to change will delegate his ability to reverse his actions. But he may never fully accept responsibility for his behavior, seek professional treatment, or recognize his role as an abuser. He cannot, however, blame others for his unhappy childhood, work related circumstances, drug or alcohol habits, or his temper. He alone is solely responsible for the choices he makes in his own life. It's natural to want to help your partner. After all, you did promise to love, honor, and cherish 'till death do us part. You also believe it's your responsibility to fix his problems because you alone understand everything about him. However, staying in the relationship, and accepting the abuse dumped on you, is only reinforcing the problem, and keeping the action alive.
Remember. It's not your responsibility to fix his problems.

WASHINGTON -- After two presidential debates, here's a quick scorecard:
* Number of times the candidates said "Afghanistan" – 2 * Number of times the candidates said "veterans" – 2 * Number of times the candidates said "soldiers" – 2 * Number of times the candidates said "jobs" – 106 * Number of times the candidates said "Big Bird" – 2
Unlike last week's vice presidential debate, where foreign policy and national security were major topics of discussion, President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney focused almost exclusively on domestic policy issues in their second debate and have barely mentioned issues surrounding servicemembers and veterans in either of their two debates.
On Tuesday, the men sparred over the administration's handling of the murder of U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens in Libya, but not until a full hour's discussion on job creation and the economy. Topics like the war in Afghanistan, defense spending, veterans benefits and homeland security were skipped altogether.
As the debate unfolded, staffers at Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America invited their followers on social media to send in the military-themed questions they'd like to see answered. Twitter user @ArtDAV responded: "Why has the 'next greatest generation' become the 'forgotten generation' during this entire campaign?"
Monday's presidential debate, the last before the election, is supposed to focus on foreign policy. Veterans groups said they're anxious to hear both men highlight their plans for troops overseas and those who have recently returned from combat.

There are two types of people in the world—DC fans and Marvel Fans.
I mean you can't like Superman and Captain America at the same time.
I mean you could; I am just being an elitist.
Personally, I am a DC kind of guy (disclaimer: they being one of our clients don't influence my decision).
Either way, both have pretty awesome superheroes.
Imagine having your home decked out in all-things superhero!
Well, no need to imagine already.
Interior Design Company, Inspire ID Group made a HDB flat (in Punggol) into a haven for superhero fanatics.
Yes, I am talking about….
Superman (DC)
Wonder Woman (DC)
Iron Man (Marvel)
Thor (Marvel)
I will stop yapping…
A picture speaks a thousand words.
Here are the pictures.
That Avenger wall tho.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. logo is lit!
Here is a better view!
Who wouldn't want to share a bedroom with Wonder Woman (maybe the wife, but who cares)?
A cabinet filled with superhero action figurines.
The pathway is protected by The Avengers.
Every boy would dream to have this room.
As you can tell, the place was filled with superhero motifs, from the walls to the bedsheet, but if you have a keen eye for details, you would notice that it is a mixture of DC and MARVEL!?!
The company mentioned that the designs are Marvel-themed.
This carpet is the icing on the cake.
The carpet says Avengers but it has the logos of Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman (all from DC).
I am sure Catwoman wouldn't be pleased.
But apart from that, it was a good execution.
Hey, the owner of the house might be a DC and Marvel fan. Who am I to judge?
So if you're looking to jazz up your house, you know who to call.
Now, I want a Stranger Things themed room?
Since you're here, why not watch a video about an NTU student who went all out to impress his crush, only to end up in…tragedy? Here, watch it and do remember to share it (and also subscribe to Goody Feed YouTube channel)!

Dr. Michael Gannon, the expert historian and former priest who led for decades scholarly efforts to understand St. Augustine's history has died at age 89, just short of his 90th birthday. He will be greatly missed.
Dr. Gannon brought international recognition to St. Augustine after his scholarship documented how the "first Thanksgiving" took place here in St. Augustine on September 8, 1565, upon the arrival of 800 Spanish and African settlers. The first Thanksgiving was here, 42 years before the settlement of Jamestown, Virginia and 55 years before Plymouth, Massachusetts, at which time Dr. Gannon wrote that St. Augustine was already "up for urban renewal."
I met Dr. Gannon circa 2010 during the runup to the St. Augustine 450th celebrations when he spoke at a City history event at Flagler College. We talked then and there and later by phone. He loved Senator Claude Pepper's idea, first suggested by St. Augustine Mayor Walter Fraser and introduced in Congress in 1939. Dr. Gannon told me that he supported the creation of the St. Augustine National Historical Park and National Seashore. He loved the idea, which I first presented to St. Augustine City Commission on November 13, 2006, with an underwhelming response from biased City burghers at the time.
During the Vietnam War, it was reported that Dr. Gannon probably saved the lives of dozens of University of Florida students protesting the war. Gainesville police were about to tear gas protesters who had sought refuge inside a Krystal fast food restaurant. Dr. Gannon stopped the police from this insanity and inanity, knowing that tear-gassing inside a fast food restaurant this would have inevitably resulted in students pressing against plate glass windows, with inevitable bloodshed and possible death. He was arrested in retaliation for his courageous First Amendment protected activity. But the protesting anti-war UF students were left ungassed by police.
Here is veteran journalist Margo Pope's excellent page one news obituary from The St. Augustine Record:
Posted April 12, 2017 09:14 pm
By Margo C. Pope Record correspondent
Michael Gannon: Champion of St. Augustine's history dies at 89
The death of Michael Gannon earlier this week in Gainesville, Florida, ended nearly 60 years of keeping St. Augustine in the national spotlight as the United States of America's first permanent settlement of European origins.
He died peacefully in his sleep Tuesday morning, according to his widow Genevieve Haugen. He was 89, at the time just weeks away from his 90th birthday.
He was so protective of St. Augustine's 1565 founding that he often provoked the residents of Jamestown, Virginia, and Plymouth, Massachusetts, with his now famous quote: "By the time Jamestown was founded in 1607 and Plymouth in 1620, St. Augustine was up for urban renewal."
He further staked a claim that his research proved true that the First Thanksgiving in the United States was not with the Pilgrims but with the first settlers settlers of St. Augustine on Sept. 8, 1565, when they held a Mass of Thanksgiving followed by a communal meal with the Timucuan Indians in the vicinity of Mission Nombre de Dios and The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park. Among his lasting visible accomplishments in the city was the construction and oversight of the 208-foot Great Cross at Mission Nombre de Dios to celebrate the city's 400th anniversary in 1965.
Gannon who held a Ph.D., in history from the University of Florida, was decorated by King Juan Carlos I of Spain in 1990 for his research efforts as a Knight Commander of the Order of Isabella de la Catolica.
St. Augustine City Manager John Regan said Wednesday night that he thought of Gannon as he crossed the Bridge of Lions on his way home. "I looked over at the cross at the mission and I reflected on Dr. Gannon and his impact on some lives and our community," Regan said. "Not only was he our foremost historian but he was such a kind person and a mentor to so many people. "He was a giant of a man that you can see his impact in the symbolism of the Great Cross."
Susan Parker, Ph.D., was a longtime friend. "While well known for his historical publications, Michael Gannon brought that history to the citizens, not just to read, but to celebrate, as well," she said.
He was involved with and often spearheaded almost every landmark anniversary in Florida, with special attention to St. Augustine. He served on commissions for St. Augustine's 400th (1965) and 450th anniversaries (2015). For Florida's 150th anniversary of statehood (1996) and the 500th anniversary of the landing of Juan Ponce de Leon (2013), Gannon brought together two dozen scholars to publish histories of Florida for both events. His own book, "The Cross in the Sand," appeared in 1965 to memorialize the early history of the Catholic Church in Florida."
The Fort Sill, Oklahoma, native arrived in St. Augustine in 1941 from Washington, D.C., with his widowed mother, Mary Lee Gannon, and two brothers, Patrick and Vincent (Peter). He graduated from St. Joseph Academy but not before he held sports reporting and editing jobs at The St. Augustine Record and broadcasting assignments at WFOY Radio. He later was the voice of the University of South Carolina Gamecocks sports radio shows on WIS in Columbia, S.C. During summers while attending college, he also worked for Marineland of Florida as an announcer and a diver.
Ordained a priest in 1959 for the Diocese of St. Augustine, Gannon was director of Mission Nombre de Dios during the time leading up to the 400th anniversary of the city in 1965. He moved on to Gainesville and was director of the Catholic Student Center. He later resigned from the priesthood in 1976 but continued as a history professor and a former dean of UF's college of Arts and Sciences.
Prior to the 400th anniversary, Gannon met John and Peggy Bailey at his mother's home on Palm Row. Bailey would go on to be the city's Mayor during the 400th anniversary. The Baileys went on several trips to Spain leading up to the 400th with Gannon and other local residents. "He was a great ambassador for St. Augustine," Bailey said. "He knew the language and he had connections with the Royal Family and throughout Spain."
"He was a true friend," said Peggy Bailey, with an emphasis on the word, "friend." "It was such an honor to know him."
Gannon's legacy also extended to the civil rights movement of the 1960s in Gainesville and St. Augustine.
Historian David Nolan, who has written and given talks about the movement for many years, said in an email to The Record that: "In the aftermath of the 1964 demonstrations, Father Gannon was one of a small group of whites, including Episcopal priest Stanley Bullock and Minorcan leader X.L. Pellicer, who met to see what could be done to bring the racially-divided community back together. One of the things they did was to put a historic marker on Fort Mose, the pioneer free Black settlement that served as the northern defense of St. Augustine beginning in 1738. That marker, with text written by Gannon and former mayor Kenneth Beeson, is thus not only a marker, but also a historic artifact of an early effort to heal the Ancient City."
Gannon's work on behalf of St. Augustine's history is manifested in the University of Florida Historic St. Augustine Inc. initiative. UF now manages and operates some of the state's oldest historic buildings on behalf of the state.
Ed Poppell, UF liaison for UFHSA, said, "Mike was very passionate for many things but his love for St. Augustine and his love for UF were a combination he proudly called his own. Mike spread his passion for the UF/St. Augustine partnership like only he could do. It was magical. He with a few of his scholarly colleagues made it impossible for UF or Dr. Bernie Machen (UF president) to refuse the opportunity of partnering with the city of St. Augustine and the state's historic properties. His approach to historic authenticity and historic interpretation was infectious and everyone who knew him understood his expectations. …
His legacy is truly a treasure we shall never allow to be forgotten."
Gannon's legacy is in safe keeping in P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History, Special & Area Studies Collections, George A. Smathers Library where it is open for public access.
James Cusick, Ph.D., is curator of the collections and helped Gannon organize his collection last year before he donated it to UF. The Gannon Papers, Cusick said, detail his life's work, his many books and writings, and his family's history. The collection, Cusick said, benefits the entire state and UF.
"He was a behind-the-scenes person in many ways. "I am not sure a lot of the research around the UF would have gotten done if Mike hadn't been one of the people pushing for it. I am also not sure a lot of records that we obtained would have gotten done if he were not directly involved in it," Cusick.
Services are pending for Gannon, according to his widow.
Regan said the city will plan a special memorial service, as well.
COMING SUNDAY: Friends and colleagues pay tribute to the work and legacy of Michael Gannon.

Happiness is literally a dog playing peekaboo in long grass.
Rosie, the pup in this video who is giving us all sorts of joy, is half whippet half poodle. A combination that basically gives her the same energy levels of a kid that's drunk a litre of red cordial.
And watching her play is bubble wrap for our weary, bitter, souls.
Bopping up and down like she's an adorable dolphin and the long grass is her ocean kingdom, Rosie is having the time of her doggy life.
If Rosie were a cat, she'd use the grass as cover to stage a grand escape and never return. Or assassinate something.
It's hard to say which animal we relate to more in this scenario.

The David Bowie Listening Party, part one
For Christmas, my longtime friend, playwright Trey Nichols, bought himself the recently released boxed set of David Bowie discs from 1977-1982, "A New Career in a New Town." Last night we were finally able to coordinate our schedules so he could bring it over for us to listen to it together.
Listening to three Bowie albums in a row reminded me that no matter how much I love and appreciate an artist in theory, there's nobody I love in toto. I admire a lot of Kurt Vonnegut's work, and Philip K. Dick's work, but I will never again read "Slapstick," and I'd like back the hours spent trying to read Dick's execrable mainstream novel "Voices from the Street." Much as I like the Beatles (at times), I never need to hear, say, "Octopus's Garden" again.
I had the great pleasure of seeing David Bowie on tour twice — on the "Serious Moonlight" tour in support of the "Let's Dance" album, in 1983, in Philadelphia; and on his final tour, at Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim in 2004. Both times, with very different shows and very different set lists, he and his band sounded great. On "Stage," though, an early live album reissued in this new boxed set, I don't hear any of the sort of magic I heard onstage. Instead, these are almost rudimentary live versions of songs that are far more magical on their original recordings, as performed here by what sounds like an above-average local cover band. Ouch.
The next disc we listened to was "Re:Call 3," made up of rarities of a sort: non-album singles, somewhat-different versions of album singles, b-sides, and ephemera. This was more like it, with different versions of some of my favorite Bowie songs: "Heroes," "Breaking Glass," "Fashion," "Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)" and more. It also includes the soundtrack version of "Cat People," which I hadn't heard in years, a 1979 folkie version of "Space Oddity" that I'm fine without, and, most interestingly, Bowie's songs for Bertolt Brecht's "Baal," which I'd always heard about but never actually heard. Now that I've heard them, I can say unequivocally that I prefer Bowie the rock star over Bowie the musical-theatre singer; in the former, his femme operatic voice is balanced out by the hard punches of rock-and-roll, while on the latter all his fluty indulgences flit around unanchored in a way that would have me running for the exit.
Finally, we listened to Tony Visconti's recent remix of "Lodger." Visconti, who was Bowie's longtime producer, has stated that he didn't feel the album had gotten the credit he deserved, and now he's taken a swing at producing a better mix in hopes of better serving the music. As an enormous fan of this album, Trey was able to point out all the subtle differences; being less familiar, I didn't hear them. Listening to it — and enjoying it — did give me occasion to look up this very positive review from Pitchfork, which left me howling with laughter. Here's just one wonderful excerpt:
The music is punky and dramatic and a little odd, with detours into reggae and near-Eastern tonalities ("Yassassin") and nebulously exotic "world" sounds ("African Night Flight"), all filtered through the ears of a British guy with plenty of money and the imperial leeway to appropriate whatever he felt like. To this day, no musician has better mastered the hermetic intensity of cocaine, a drug that makes you want to have long conversations with everyone you've ever met without leaving your room.
Whether you care about David Bowie's music or not, I strongly recommend reading the entirety of that review for the pungent wit alone.
Given that it was approaching midnight, we didn't get to the other albums in the boxed set last night, and unfortunately we didn't get to sit outside and have cigars while doing this because Los Angeles was uncharacteristically approaching freezing, so we're looking to set another play date, in March. That'll give us a chance to listen to what may well be the best three albums of Bowie's career: "Heroes," "Low," and "Scary Monsters."

Film Academy to train 2,000 students Leo Onwordi, the Chief Executive Officer of Charisma Broadcast Film Academy, says the organisation will train 2,000 students in Abuja and Lagos on broadcasting.
Onwordi told the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Wednesday that the students would be taught the skills of acting, script writing, film production and directing.
He noted that the training which would be done free of charge, is part of efforts of the organisation to empower the students as some of them could not afford to pay the tuition fees.
According to him, the students are expected to enrol for the September and October session.
Onwordi said that the students would undergo the programmes respectively in Abuja and Lagos.
He said: "We will begin the session which has been targeted for September in Abuja, while October will be in Lagos.
"I intend to empower more people because most of them do not have money to pay for the programme.
"This edition will be big in terms of reaching out to sponsors to assist as many people to the training as possible.
"We will empower them with professional skills to enable them to be self-reliant or easily employable, doing it for free."
He noted that at the end of the programme, the best students would be actively engaged in his latest film productions which would be only for the Lagos participants.
According to Onwordi, Abuja participants will be taught Skits and how to be self-reliant as the industry is still young and poses challenges for upcoming actors.
He said: "Abuja is more of a challenge than Lagos for those who participate in acting, directing, script writing and film production because the film industry is still in its teething stage.
"Fewer films are short in Abuja, unlike Lagos and getting them to travel down to Lagos without accommodation and transport fare will be overbearing on Lagos producers.
"Abuja participants will be trained to be self-reliant as actors, directors, script writers and producers through shooting affordable short films and Skits.
"Also, Abuja would benefit more from the broadcast industry because many people had internship training and got engaged.
"Others are now self-employed, so this is an area we will also consolidate."
NAN reports that skits are very short films which comprises a scene or two, for instance, the popular little Emmanuelle's comedy are called Skits.

Powered by a seven-point showing from junior Wesley Berg (Coquitlam, B.C.), top-seeded and No. 2/2 nationally ranked University of Denver men's lacrosse defeated No. 4 seeded Rutgers, 14-7 in the BIG EAST Semifinals at Villanova Stadium on Thursday afternoon. The win advances the Pioneers to Saturday's Championship game where they will face either No. 3 seed Villanova or No. 2 seed Marquette."I'm really proud of each facet of our game," said head coach Bill Tierney. "Our goalies both played fantastically well. Chris Hampton dominated face-offs. Our defense played well, holding them to only four goals until the fourth quarter. Our offense was clicking in the first half, but just wasn't scoring as we usually do. This is credit to the way Rutgers was defending us."Berg finished the day with his fifth hat trick of the season, 17th of his career, netting five goals to go along with two assists for seven points. With his seven points, Berg now has 152 career points, tied for sixth all-time with former Pioneer and current Denver Outlaw Eric Law. His 110 career goals are No. 6 all-time, three shy of associate head coach Matt Brown who sits at No. 5.Also scoring for the Pioneers was junior Erik Adamson (Anaheim Hills, Calif.), who finished with three goals and two assists for five points. Adamson tallied his eighth hat trick of the season.Sophomore Jack Bobzien (Littleton, Colo.) tallied two goals, while freshman Max Planning (Alexandria, Va.) and senior Harrison Archer (Washington, D.C.) each tallied a goal each. Freshman Zach Miller (Steamburg, N.Y.) found his scoring ways with a goal and two assists and junior Sean Cannizzaro (Cazenovia, N.Y.) got back into the scoring column with a goal and an assist.Senior Jeremy Noble (Orangeville, Ontario) posted two assists, while causing one turnover and picking up five ground balls. Noble's two assists give him 73 career assists, tied for No. 2 in Pioneer history, sitting behind Pioneer great Ed "Tug" Howe who played for the Pioneers from 1967-70. He is nine assists shy of the school record. The midfielder's five ground balls brings his career total to 197, moving him into the top-five in career ground balls all-time.Face-off specialist Chris Hampton (Bethesda, Md.) won a career-high 16 face-offs off a career-tying 24 attempts against one of the nation's top face-off takers. Hampton also grabbed a career-high nine ground balls.

Olivier Award-winning director and RSC Associate Artist Laurence Boswell directs a brand new production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Theatre Royal Bath from Thursday 4th to Saturday 20th August as the nation marks the 400th anniversary year of William Shakespeare's death. Staged as part of Bath's Summer Season, the Bard's best-loved comedy will feature one of the UK's most popular comedians and performers, Phill Jupitus as Nick Bottom, the Weaver.
A Midsummer Night's Dream intertwines three stories set in the enchanted woods outside the city of Athens. As Theseus and Hippolyta prepare to marry, Hermia is ordered to wed Demetrius. When Hermia and Lysander elope to the woods, Helena, and Demetrius follow…
On the same night – in the same wood – the fairy king, Oberon, and his queen, Titania, are feuding, and Bottom, the Weaver and his band are rehearsing a play. But when Oberon and his accomplice, Puck, decide to meddle with the lovers, make mischief with the queen and make an ass of Bottom, they leave a trail of chaos and hilarity in their wake.
Filled with music and spectacle in a magical, mythical setting, this new staging also stars leading Royal Shakespeare Company actors and Associate Artists, Darrell D'Silva, Forbes Masson and Katy Stephens.
Phill Jupitus has recently played the roles of Baron Bomburst and Lord Scrumptious in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on UK tour, a production he returns to this autumn. His other stage credits include playing Edna Turnblad in Hairspray in the West End, King Arthur in Monty Python's Spamalot and, last year, Franz Liebkind in The Producers on tour. He has been a performance poet, stand-up comedian and radio presenter; he was a team captain on BBC2's Never Mind the Buzzcocks for nineteen years appearing in 272 episodes, and a regular guest on QI on BBC2 and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue on BBC Radio 4. He has performed with the Blockheads, Madness and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, and appeared in music videos with Billy Bragg and Kirsty MacColl. He now makes his Shakespearean debut playing Nick Bottom, the Weaver who's ready to take on anything.
Darrell D'Silva, who plays Theseus and Oberon, is an Associate Artist of the RSC for whom his extensive credits include the roles of Captain Hook in Wendy and Peter, Antony in Antony and Cleopatra, and Siwan in Dunsinane, alongside Siobhan Redmond, for the RSC and the National Theatre of Scotland on world tour. His other theatre credits include The Rose Tattoo and Closer at the National Theatre, Public Enemy and Six Characters in Search of an Author at the Young Vic, Children's Children at the Almeida and Hedda Gabler at the Old Vic.
Katy Stephens plays the roles of Hippolyta and Titania. An RSC Associate Artist, Katy's many credits for the company include Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra alongside Darrell D'Silva, Rosalind in As You Like It, and Tamora, the Queen of the Goths, in Titus Andronicus. Her film and television credits include Relative Values and London's Burning.
Playing the roles of Puck and Philostrate is Simon Gregor, whose previous appearances at the Theatre Royal include Gilbert in Things We Do for Love in 2014, the Fool in King Lear alongside David Haig in 2013, and Grumio in the RSC's staging of The Taming of the Shrew, which toured to Bath in 2012. Amongst his numerous stage credits, he has starred in American Psycho with Matt Smith at the Almeida Theatre and in To Kill a Mockingbird at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. His television credits include Harry Price: Ghost Hunter, The Borgias, Da Vinci's Demons, Ripper Street, New Tricks and Drop the Dead Donkey.
Forbes Masson plays Peter Quince and Egeus. On television he was Steve McCracken in The High Life and played Patrick in Catastrophe, as well as appearances in EastEnders, Shetland, Is It Bill Bailey?, Rab C. Nesbitt and Red Dwarf. His recent West End credits include Doctor Faustus and Mr Foote's Other Leg. His many productions with the RSC include a residency in New York in Romeo and Juliet and As You Like It; as well as Ahasauerus, Morte d' Arthur, A Tender Thing and The Grain Store.
William Postlethwaite returns to Bath to play Lysander, after starring with Gina McKee in The Mother at Bath's Ustinov Studio last year, directed by Laurence Boswell, prior to the Tricycle Theatre. He also played Edgar in King Lear at the Theatre Royal in 2013 alongside Davig Haig. His theatre credits also include Collaborators at the National Theatre and Journey's End at the Watermill Theatre. His television work includes Foyles' War, Midsomer Murders and The Suspicions of Mr Whicher.
Vinta Morgan appears at Thomas Snout. His theatre credits include The Merchant of Venice at the Almeida, Romeo and Juliet and Pedro the Great Pretender at the RSC, Tamburlaine the Great at Bristol Old Vic and the Barbican, and To Kill a Mockingbird for West Yorkshire Playhouse and Birmingham Rep. His television credits include Doctors, Silent Witness and EastEnders.
Oscar Batterham plays Frances Flute. His stage credits include The Wars of the Roses, directed by Trevor Nunn. He returns to Bath after performing in The One That Got Away at the Ustinov Studio last December, directed by Laurence Boswell. He recently starred in the world premiere of Neil Bartlett's Stella in the Brighton Festival at the Theatre Royal.
Eve Ponsonby plays Hermia, Maya Wasowicz plays Helena and Wilf Scolding plays Demetrius. Gregory Gudgeon, who appears as Robin Starveling, performed in Monsieur Popular at Bath's Ustinov Studio last autumn, and Ekow Quartey plays Snug. The cast is completed by Melissa James and Natalie Winsor.
Director Laurence Boswell said, "I have been working next door in the Ustinov Studio for the last five years, directing the UK premieres of international plays, which has been a joy and a gift and to which I will return after this production; but the opportunity to work on a Shakespeare play, on a big stage with a company of 15 actors, was too much to resist."
Laurence Boswell has been the Artistic Director of Bath's Ustinov Studio since 2011. He is an Associate Artist of the Royal Shakespeare Company, where his many credits include the Golden Age Season in 2004, which transferred to the West End and Madrid. Whilst at London's Gate Theatre, where he was Associate Director (1991–93) and Artistic Director (1993–96), he directed the Spanish Golden Age Season, winner of the 1992 Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement. In the West End, his credits include Popcorn, This is Our Youth, Treats and A Day in the Death of Joe Egg, which transferred to Broadway receiving a Tony nomination. His writing credits include Beauty and the Beast for the RSC, winner of the TMA Award for Best Play for Children and Young People. He has also directed productions in America, Canada, Spain and Portugal.
Award-winning designer Jamie Vartan has worked extensively in theatre and opera in the UK and Europe. He represented the UK at Prague Quadrennials in 1999, 2007, 2011 and World Stage Design 2013, winning the Best Set Design Award. His set design for Misterman starring Cillian Murphy won the 2011 Irish Times Award for Best Set Design.
2016 marks the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death in 1616. A Midsummer Night's Dream was first published in 1600, with its likeliest date of composition being 1595-6. As well as theatre performances of A Midsummer Night's Dream spanning four centuries, the drama has also been transformed into operas and ballets, including Benjamin Britten's landmark 1960 composition, and Frederick Ashton's 1964 ballet which premiered at Covent Garden and remains a popular choice in the repertoire. Screen adaptations include Max Reinhardt's 1935 film with James Cagney as Bottom; Peter Hall's 1969 film based on his 1962 RSC stage production; the 1981 BBC TV Shakespeare series by Elijah Mojinsky with Helen Mirren as Titania; Adrian Noble's 1996 film based on his earlier stage version; and Michael Hoffman's 1999 film set in Tuscany with Kevin Kline as Bottom.
A Midsummer Night's Dream appears at the Theatre Royal Bath from Thursday 4th to Saturday 20th August. Tickets are on sale from the Theatre Royal Bath Box Office on 01225 448844 or online at www.theatreroyal.org.uk

Kicking Planned Parenthood out of the Texas Women's Health Program proved to be a terrible idea in 2013, one that jeopardized the health of women and babies, reduced access to health care, and increased costs for the state.
