Feeling Festive: The tights edit
Without trying to sound melodramatic tights are one of the most underrated items of the modern woman's wardrobe. We ladies take for granted our tights; back in the day before tights were the norm it was all girdles and stockings which sounds supremely uncomfortable and immensely impractical. With hemlines rising in the 60's women needed an alternative to stockings and that brought along the birth of tights as we know them now.
Although let's not forget that women weren't the first of the sexes to don a pair of tights, originally men wore thick tights to make horse-riding a little easier but spotting a man in a pair of tights now is as rare as a lunar eclipse – unless you live next door to superman!
So it's safe to say that we're big fans of tights, we might even say that they are one of the most essential wardrobe item! Every girl has a pair or two from plain black for work or school to those clever little nude ones perfect for going out if bare legs just don't appeal to you in mid-December! We've put together a little list of some of our favourite festive tights available online and also drawn up a couple of handy hints and tips to keep your tights in good condition so you don't have to go through 500 pairs a year!
Top 10 Christmas Tights
1) Pamela Mann – Holly Christmas Tights - £8.49 - Pamela Mann
These brilliantly festive tights are perfect for Christmas day and will add a touch of festive cheer to any outfit with the cool holly print. We'd team these babies up with a crimson dress to tie in the holly berries.
2) ASDA – Red and white striped tights - £2.50 - Asda
Have any Christmas fancy dress on the horizon? Well these cool red and white striped tights are a perfect addition – we're thinking along the lines of an elf or candy cane.
3) Celeste Stein Christmas Ornament glitter tights - £15.95 - Celeste Stein
If you're looking to outshine the Christmas tree this winter then these tights from Celeste Stein will help you get there! With glittery tree ornaments you will certainly be the centre of attention on the big day.
4) M&S - Limited Edition Sparkle Baroque Tights - £12.00 - M&S
Baroque is one of our favourite trends this season so what easier way to rock a trend than with these awesome sparkly baroque tights from Marks & Spencer?
5) Topshop – Wine brocade glitter tights - £15.00 - Topshop
Topshop always has a fantastic range of interesting tights and we think these brocade tights are brilliant for the office Christmas party, great with a little black dress!
Top 5 Tights for NYE
1) Nasty Gal – Ombre Tights fuchsia - £27.80 - Nasty Girl
These have to be one of our favourite tights, we love everything ombre so ombre tights is a double winner for us. They come in a range of colours but we think these pink tights would be great for Christmas Eve fun!
2) ASOS – Patterned Sheer tights - £8.00 - Asos
We think these ASOS patterned tights are really great value for money and they're go perfectly from daywear to eveningwear too, so you can go straight from the office to the bar!
3) Sneaky Fox Heart Print Tights - £25.00 - Sneaky Fox
How great are these Sneaky Fox tights, nice and subtle you can wear them with almost anything, the heart details on the knees are super cute.
4) Jonathon Aston nude starburst diamante tights - £14.99 - Johnathon Aston
You simply can't go wrong with a pair of nude tights, after all princess Kate loves them! These Jonathon Aston tights come with a cool diamante pattern on the knees!
5) House of Holland – Dogtooth Tights - £12.00 - House of Holland
These tights might not be traditionally festive but we just had to include them because they're such good fun and really add some colour to any outfit!
Looking after Tights
Spending anything over a couple of pounds on a pair of tights might seem a little steep, especially if they ladder and tear within hours of putting them on. But a great pair of tights is a great addition to any wardrobe and so don't worry about wasting your money; follow these helpful tips to make sure your tights are a bit more of a good investment!
· Avoid sharp objects; when putting on or taking off your tights make sure you remove all of your jewellery. If you have long nails make sure any chips are filled down to avoid them snagging on the material. Use a moisturiser on any particularly rough skin that you might have on your feet or hands and if you often find you rip your tights when putting them on you can use rubber gloves to avoid any mishaps.
· Take care when washing; many people will shove their tights into the wash with everything else but if you want your tights to have a longer shelf life then consider washing your tights by hand. If like most people you simply don't have the time to wash your things by hand invest in a hosiery bag so the material doesn't get caught whilst in the machine. Put your tights on a cold wash and avoid heavy duty bleaches. Turn your tights inside out when washing to avoid a build-up of lint
· Don't hang your tights up to dry; hanging tights on a drying rack can stretch out the material making it hard for them to spring back to their original shape leaving you with baggy tights – no one wants that!
· When you see a whole or ladder appear make sure you carry around a trusty clear nail varnish with you and simply paint over the offending tear. The clear varnish will help prevent the ladder from getting any bigger!
Some helpful hints to help avoid going through tights so quickly; look after them properly and they will last! When thinking about buying your next pair of tights go for something a little different than the standard 60 deniers! A decent pair can create an illusion of slimmer or longer legs. If you want your pins to appear longer try a vertical pattern and likewise with skinny legs to make them seem shapelier; a horizontal pattern will create a great silhouette! So there you have it, whichever tights you choose to rock this Christmas; make sure you have a good one!

Featured blogger- fashionwasmysecondlove
How do you get your inspiration for the outfits you wear ?
I get inspiration from reading magazines and blogs but also from thing I see on the streets.
Who has had the biggest fashion influence on your outfits ?
That would be me, I wear what I like.
What made you start posting your pictures on your blog ?
I tried blogging earlier, but I did not have enough patience to get good pictures and keep readers. After my sister started a blog in May this year I really liked to get started again too. So I did.
What blogs and websites do you follow and why ?
I follow several blogs and websites. One I have been following for years is Daily Fashion Boost. I absolutely love the style of Sam, the girl behind this blog. Very inspiring.
Would you describe yourself as a trendsetter or fashion follower ?
I guess I am a little bit of both. I only follow trends when I like them and always try and give it my own twist.
How would you describe your style ?
My style is feminine and most of the time colour full. Fashion items that are remarkable for my style ar notable tights and high heels. I always wear skirts or dresses, never trousers.
Does the hosiery you wear dictate the clothes,outfit you wear ?
It depends. Most of the time I wear tights with prints. When a print is very notable I like to keep the rest a bit calmer. I always start building my outfit from one piece, sometimes I start with my hosiery, sometimes with something else.
What is in your hosiery drawer or closet ?
Most of my tights are black with a print. I also got a few coloured pairs, red, blue and Brown. I got some ticker pairs for in winter and besides tights there are also over knees and regular Socks in my hosiery drawer. The regular Socks I wear to protect my tights from zippers in my shoes.
How do you choose your hosiery ?
Sometimes I pick my hosiery first and then choose what other clothes to wear with it. Other times I pick a dress fist and choose what kind of hosiery to wear with it.
Where do you shop for hosiery ?
I shop at several places for hosiery. Shops like Pieces, H&M and Primark often have nice tights. Lately I started shopping tights at Ebay. You can find really cool ones there.
What was the last item of hosiery you brought, how much you spent etc ?
A pair of striped tights from Primark. I believe they were 3 euros.
Do you prefer sheer or opaque tights,stockings or holdups,socks or knee highs,sheer toe or reinforced ?
I prefer opaque tights, stockings, knee highs and reinforced.
Do you ever wear 10 denier tights or sheer hose if so how long do they last you ?
I believe most of my tights are 20 denier.
How does wearing tights make you feel emotionally ?
Wearing tights makes me feel more feminine. I feel best wearing feminine outfits, it makes me more confident. When I go to the gym I have to wear trousers and they always make me a bit insecure. I feel more like myself in a dress or a skirt.
Do you prefer the feel of tights to pants?
I prefer the feel of tights above pants. I personally think tights are a lot more comfortable.
When do you wear hosiery,daily-once a week etc ?
Most of the year daily. Except for the bare legs days in summer.
What is your hosiery staple ?
I actually would not know. (What is meant by staple? English is not my First language.)
What are your style tips for wearing tights ?
Do not be afraid of notable tights with a print. Start building your outfit from a pair of tights for a change. If you keep the rest of your outfit a bit calmer, tights with a print can really be an upgrade.
How do you put on tights?
I get the toe from my tight to the holes and then get them around my legs.
Whats the strangest place you have put on hosiery ?
That would be in a car.
Do you keep a spare pair of tights in your bag ?
No I don't. I just make sure I do not ruin them.
The best and worst things about hosiery, Love-hate ?
Nice hosiery can really upgrade an outfit and make your legs look good. But I really hate it when a nice pair of tights gets ruined.
Do you recycle your tights if not how many pairs of tights do you throw away each month ? What was the last pair you put in the bin,trash ?
I do recycle my tights. The last pair I have thrown away are my ombre tights form Ebay. They were ruined so I had to. I never like throwing away nice pairs.

AYP grades in for Plymouth
PLYMOUTH — As a corporation, the Plymouth Schools have achieved an "A" rating by the Indiana Department of Education for 2011.
Ratings for the individual schools in the corporation ranged from "A" in all four elementary buildings to a "D" at LJH. Riverside Intermediate is ranked as a "B" school and Plymouth High School as a "C" school.
Lincoln Junior High Principal Dan Funston said, "We have seen a lot of growth on this measure over the past four years. We dipped down a little bit this year, but our percentage last year was the second highest percentage pass since the 2005 school ratings."
LJH was on Academic Watch from 2005-2007 with their percentages ranging from 74 percent to 75 percent. By 2008, they had gained in percentages to 76.3 percent and were at Academic Progress.
In 2009, the state moved the testing from the fall to the spring and, therefore, there were no percentages released.
Last year, 2010, their percentage had risen to 80.2 percent, but the school remained on Academic Watch since students as a whole in the sub-group of free and reduced did not score high enough.
This year, 2011, the percentages were lower at 76.8 percent classifying them a "D" school.
Funston said, "As you can see, we have made significant gains here the last four years. Last year we dipped a few points, but it was also a big transition year for us with the beginning of the 1:1 program and the use of digital curriculums"
"The LJH staff is committed to being an 'A" school as we have shown we are capable of and we can't wait to display our students' success on the 2012 ISTEP testing." Funston said.
Superintendent Daniel Tyree said, "The invalidation of the math scores hurt them badly. They will rebound next year." Math scores from 120 students were invalided after it was discovered by the LJH staff that some questions on the practice tests they were using actually appeared on the ISTEP test.
Tyree said, "Plymouth High School passed 18 of the 19 cells and did not pass AYP because of graduation rate."
He had informed the school board last year that it could take two or three years to fix the problem since it is scored a year behind.
"In PL 221 their score improvements would have made them an 'A' school, but by missing AYP they are capped at a C," he said. "All other schools made AYP. I can't tell you how pleased I am with this results.
All staff members and Board members should be congratulated for their hard work and determination. In 2006 we were a failing school. Now, we are an 'A' school."
But Tyree indicated that they will still be making efforts to improve. He said, "We still have work to be done — lots of it, but we will be celebrating our successes. We have done well again in AYP and PL 221."
According to preliminary results Plymouth School Corporation passed AYP for the fourth consecutive time. In the first grade rating on the State's new Grade PL 221 results, the corporation is rated an "A" School Corporation.

I'm a simple man. My wants and desires are kept to a minimum. I don't need much to be happy.
But, I feel that my life would be complete if I owned this zine by Neil Blender...
Just one zine - how could that hurt? ...And maybe, one of his drawings. ...And a really nice Cuisinart would be excellent, ...and perhaps a subscription to that pajama-gram service that's advertised on NPR. I'm getting ahead of myself here.
"Here comes another year. Fantastic. Alcohol sales skyrocket." I nearly shit myself when I read that. Utter brilliance, that could only have been scribed by Blender.
But in all seriousness, enough of this shit. Bring on 1985.
I'll admit it. Neil Blender is my hero. I went over to Rich Jacob's house to hangout and talk about the 80's Skate Zine show he was going to do at Needles + Pens. His zine collection was mind-blowing... (that was his Neil Blender zine)
GSD, whatever, he invented the boneless.
Chris Johanson's zine Karma Boarder.
Thank God, Joe's ramp got revamped. That shit was getting stale.
Back to the future. All this reading about ye olde skateboarding of yester-yore reminded me that - Hey wait a minute, I've got to get back to 2008 to attended the secret order of old men over 30 with ramps in their garage meeting!
Mat O'Brien, Artist, Wall-Jammer.
Eli Forbyn, Book Publisher, Grocery Co-op Member VS. Mat O'Brien, Tea Drinker, Horticulturalist
Jocko Weyland, who made this zine went on to publish The Answer is Never. You should read it.
So, then we had this party with old skate zines all over the walls. Toad took time out of his busy film schedule at VBS.TV, to attend.
People seemed to enjoy it.
Mofo and Bryce Kanights
Andy Shoup got into groove of things and banged out a new issue of his old zine Connoisseurs of Concrete, which could quite possibly be the best title for a skate zine ever.
(Left to Right) Dave King, creator of the CRASS logo (...no big deal), Mike Coleman, Man back, and Andy Mueller
Mofo diggin' the set-up
Gun Rack
Kate and Elfling
Art enthusiasts and a blurry Thomas Campbell piece in the corner
Mofo and Rich Jacobs signing off. ...And that's where I leave you as well my friends. But not without some last minute urging. Please read on...
What are you guys doing in two weeks? I curated a radical show in London and you should seriously go! Get a plane ticket, take a boat, or swim! Londoners - skate, bike, walk, or ride the tube here : Opening February 29th, Needles + Pens'Hope Springs Eternal @ 96 Gillespie in London, England
A San Francisco group show featuring: Monica Canilao, Bill Daniel, Chris Duncan, Mat O'Brien, The Polaroid Kidd, Kyle Ranson, Sara Thustra, Paul Urich, ....and me.Hope Springs Eternal will showcase ink drawings, paintings (solo and collaborative), prints, photographs, and a site-specific installation. In addition, the exhibition will be accompanied by a zine (released in a limited-edition of 200) hand-assembled by the artists.For more info:http://www.96gillespie.com http://www.needles-pens.com***London internet pals get in touch, let's meet up! Show us something rad in your city that we might not otherwise be exposed to.... Kyle Ranson, Paul Urich, Andrew Scott (me ...der), and Breezy Culbertson will be in attendance for the show. Any press/coverage of the show would be awesome too! Drop me a line here: email@example.com
See you there? Hope so. - Andrew PS - I'll be in Europe for 3 weeks so expect some exotic Euro-Blogs (woo woo)...

Introduction: Gena Philibert-Ortega is a genealogist and author of the book "From the Family Kitchen." In this guest blog post, Gena explores one of her many interests: the connection of food and cooking to family history, revealing how much oysters were part of our ancestors' diets.
What did your ancestors eat? Is this something you ever ponder? As family historians, the actual everyday activities of our ancestors can help to bring the dates and places we research to life.
In some cases the food our ancestors ate is quite different from what we are accustomed to today. With the lack of refrigeration and transportation, it's no surprise that there were regional differences in cuisine. Considering the limited ability to transport and preserve ingredients, the variety of what was available to harvest locally, and the food preferences of local ethnic/immigrant populations, it is not surprising that the food that was served in various areas could be extremely different. A specialty enjoyed by those living in one region of the United States was all but unknown in another. While to some extent this is still true of modern cuisine today, as you can travel to different regions of the United States and taste local favorites not served where you live, these food differences are not as dramatic as they were 100 years ago.
So what were some food commonalities? Well there were many American foods that were feasted upon across the regions. One such food that was enjoyed by almost all Americans in the nineteenth century was oysters. Today oysters, depending on where you live, are usually a delicacy because of the price they command. It would also not be unusual to find people who have never even tried an oyster, raw or cooked. In the nineteenth century oysters were everyday food items that were inexpensive and plentiful. They were the food of the common person.
Newspaper advertisements hint at the massive amounts of oysters available to our ancestors. Consider this 1874 newspaper advertisement from the Oregonian which lists several places to eat and obtain oysters.
Street vendors, oyster houses, saloons, restaurants and home cooks prepared oysters in various, often creative ways. Oysters were served in every way imaginable including ways we are familiar with today like raw and fried. Interesting ways to serve oysters could be found in the era's cookbooks including pickled oysters, oyster ketchup and one recipe that called for oysters to be served with shortcake.[i]
Consider this newspaper article which provides 11 ways to cook oysters that "if adhered to will bring cheer to the family board." Note that this article was printed in a Kentucky newspaper—not exactly known today for its seafood. Yet this historical 1913 article tells "how best to serve the succulent bivalve [oysters], perhaps the most universally popular dish of the American table."
There were also "mock oyster" recipes for those who were unable to obtain oysters. These oyster recipes substituted different ingredients for oysters including corn, mashed potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplant. Women could cook dishes such as "Mock Oyster Soup," "Mock Oyster Sauce," "Mock Oyster Stew" and just plain "Mock Oysters." While the appearance of a "mock" recipe in a cookbook might connote that the item was difficult to obtain or expensive, this was not necessarily so in the case of the oyster.
As oyster beds became contaminated and overfished in the early 1900s, oysters began to cease being eaten as an everyday food and became more of a delicacy. No longer was the oyster part of America's everyday diet.
To learn more about America's love affair with oysters see the history The Big Oyster. History on the Half Shell by Mark Kurlansky.

Privacy Settings You Need to Set for iOS7 Before Doing Anything Else
Apple came out with the new iOS7 which gives your iPhone a new, sleek design on the outside and plenty of upgrades on the inside that you're still finding out about. In updating to iOS7 it reset many of your security preferences. Although you should go through and make sure that things are set for you and your lifestyle, here are a few you should pay special attention to.
Location Settings
Settings > Privacy > Location Services
Make sure your locations are set as private as you need. They also have it set so the arrow looks different under different circumstances. Purple is a recent location, gray is within 24 hours and outlines is like a GPS for checking in and what-not. I'd recommend not using location services on photos (especially of your children) or pictures around your house. I still use GPSing for checking in to restaurants and stuff like that.
System Services
Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services
Probably best you these turn off:
• Diagnostics & Usage: This is the data Apple uses to improve their service. I don't think it's any of Apple's business what I use their product for so I have this turned off.
• Location Based iAds: Like most technology, Apple is hoping they can send you ads based on your interests. Kind of like if you're always looking up items on Amazon, then computer ads on websites are, all of a sudden, ads for those items you were just looking up. Crazy, huh? Yeah, turn it off.
• Frequent Locations: Exactly what it sounds like. It keeps track of where you go. iStalker. Turn it off.
While you're there, at the bottom of the list, click on >System Services and turn on Status Bar Icon at the bottom of that page.
There are many other options that you may or may not need. Rule of thumb, if you don't need it, turn it off.

some of my friends use power/energy/battery-savers. i think you don't need this for android devices (unless you run an old android version maybe).

to save battery i simply use a night mode-app in the dark and turn off wifi since it keeps scanning the area for available networks. gps can stay on because it only gets activated when in use. this is shown in the statusbar.
sometimes i turn of sync and when my battery is almost gone i switch into flight/offline-mode.

what do you guys think about power saving and have you got any experiences to share?
glad to hear from you!

I have worked here for several years, and I'm finally on my way out. When I first began working here, the working conditions were very comfortable. I was given university classes to teach, and I taught them---the same as any teacher. However, within the last year and a half, things have changed. We have been given increasingly more children's camps, and a new "project" here has been to farm us out to local high schools to teach. This might seem fairly normal for any school, but the administration is now also requiring us to do research and publish in a Thai educational journal. Also, we are given surprise work evaluations in which we have to fill out the work we have done to the date. As far as other evaluations, there are none...other than your personal relationships with the administration. I have no problems with performing menial adminstrative tasks such as research, but only if we are treated as university teachers. At the Rajabhat, there is only one foreign teacher in the Faculty of Humanities. That teacher's job is clear...teach Rajabhat students. However, there are about five other foreign teachers working for the Language Institute, and their work is not as clear. Those teachers teach Rajabhat students as well, but they are not under any faculty per se, so they are free to be sent anywhere, such as high schools. I know I'm coming off as any grumpy old teacher who is disgruntled about his work, but I know when I first began looking for work, this board gave me a chance to check out what teachers' opinions of certain places were. On the positive side, Chiangrai is a wonderful city, and I hate to leave here. If you're just looking for a quiet place to live, Chiangrai is the place for you. If you are, however, looking for university work, finding a place for a longer term teaching experience is almost impossible. Good luck!

If you are on the type of contract used for public unis, then it should specify the conditions clearly. Are they in contract violation? It can be hard to protest against people presenting warm smiles, but really, unless you have politely resisted, people are people, and they'll just squeeze as much as they can get. What if your replacement is hired on the same contract but refuses these adverse conditions? Will they just stop hiring foreigners, or be forced to back down and keep the new guy on while you're on the street?

Assuming you mean Misuzu, she's the reincarnation of the winged girl that Yukito is looking for.
As she matures (and also due to the impact of Yukito's presence), she's beginning to remember in her dreams her life as a winged girl who was killed a 1000 years ago. But a human body isn't strong enough to contain the spirit of a winged being, so she's becoming ill too, basically her body is being destroyed from within.
Also, the winged girl was cursed by the people who killed her, and this curse prevents Misuzu from making any friends.
For more info you need to read the rest of this thread...

The movie is Toei Animation's take on Air, as opposed to Kyoto Animation's 12 episode TV series (+1 recap episode and the 2 episode extension of the Summer arc - Air in Summer).
This thing about Toei and KyoAni both producing an anime adaptation of a Visual Novel from Key is something that has happened thrice so far. It's not just limited to Air...
Toei animated Kanon in 2002 as a 13 episode TV series and KyoAni aired their version of Kanon (24 episodes) during the winter of 2006/2007. They also (both) did Clannad recently. Toei's version is a movie and Kyoto Animation released Clannad as a 46 episode TV series (+ 1 recap episode and 2 DVD only specials - Kyou-hen and Tomoyo-hen)
Edit: I don't know if you've seen Kyoto Animation's version of Air yet or not, but if not I really recommend it. Kyoto Animation's Key adaptations are far superior to Toei's. This is of course just my own opinion but it's very rare to find someone who prefers the Toei version of Air, Kanon or Clannad. A friend of mine prefers the Toei version of Clannad though (for a very specific reason) so I'm not saying that everyone finds the KyoAni adaptations superior, only that a vast majority does. What I'm trying to say is; if you haven't seen the TV series already, give it a shot. =)

I don't know if this will be answered, but:
To any game veterans, would this be a good anime to watch? I'm thinking of breaking my self-ban on anime (watched only Gundam Seed and Angel Beats! in the past ten years) if this was a worthwhile adaptation to watch.
Thank you for your time.

This article is a tutorial for turning a computer into an internet gateway/router. It focuses on security, since the gateway is connected directly to the Internet. It should not run any services available to the outside world. Towards the LAN, it should only run gateway specific services. It should not run httpd, ftpd, samba, nfsd, etc. as those belong on a server in the LAN as they introduce security flaws.
This article does not attempt to show how to set up a shared connection between 2 PCs using cross-over cables. For a simple internet sharing solution, see Internet Share.
- 1 Hardware Requirements
- 2 Conventions
- 3 Installation
- 4 Network interface configuration
- 5 ADSL connection
- 6 DNS and DHCP
- 7 Connection sharing
- 8 Cleanup
- 9 Logrotate
- 10 Optional additions
- 11 See also
Hardware Requirements
- At least 1 GB of hard drive space. The base install will take up around 500MB of space and if you want to use a caching web proxy, you will need to reserve space for the cache as well.
- At least two physical network interfaces: a gateway connects two networks with each other. You will need to be able to connect those networks to the same physical computer. One interface must connect to the external network, while the other connects to the internal network.
- A hub, switch or UTP cable: You need a way to connect the other computers to the gateway
Conventions in this guide will be to use non-realistic interface names, to avoid confusion about which interface is which.
- intern0: the network card connected to the LAN. On an actual computer it will probably have the name eth0, eth1, etc.
- extern1: the network card connected to the external network (or WAN). It will probably have the name eth0, eth1, etc.
A fresh install of Arch Linux is the easiest to start from, as no configuration changes have been made and there is a minimal amount of packages installed. This is helpful when attempting to reduce security risk.
For security purposes,
/tmp and
/home should be separate from the
/ partition. This prevents disk space from being completely used up by log files, daemons or the unprivileged user. It also allows different mount options for those partitions. If you have already partitioned your drive, the gparted livecd can be used to resize, move, or create new partitions.
Your home and root partitions can be much smaller than a regular install since this is not a desktop machine.
/var should be the largest partition—it is where databases, logs and long-term caches are stored. If you have a lot of RAM, mounting
/tmp as
tmpfs is a good idea, so making a disk partition for it during the initial install is unnecessary. Note that
/tmp is mounted as
tmpfs by default in Arch.
After creation of non-root account you are recommended to install sudo and disable root login.
Network interface configuration
Persistent naming
When you let udev handle loading the modules, you will notice your NIC's switch names: one boot your LAN NIC is eth0, the other boot it is eth1, etc. (This might not be true, see PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames, and Network_Configuration#Device_names)
To fix this problem, read Network_Configuration#Device_names.
IP configuration
Now you will need to configure the network interfaces. The best way to do so is using netctl profiles. You will need to create two profiles.
- /etc/netctl/extern0-profile
Description='Public Interface.' Interface=extern0 Connection=ethernet IP='dhcp'
- /etc/netctl/intern0-profile
Description='Private Interface' Interface=intern0 Connection=ethernet IP='static' Address=('10.0.0.1/24')
Next up is to set up the interfaces with netctl.
# netctl enable extern0-profile # netctl enable intern0-profile
ADSL connection
Using rp-pppoe, we can connect an ADSL modem to the extern1 of the firewall and have Arch manage the connection. Make sure you put the modem in bridged mode though, otherwise the modem will act as a router too.
# pacman -S rp-pppoe
Configuration: rp-pppoe
The questions are all documented. You can select "no firewall" because we will let Shorewall / iptables handle that part.
DNS and DHCP
We will use dnsmasq, a DNS and DHCP daemon for the LAN. It was specifically designed for small sites. To get it, install dnsmasq from the official repositories.
Dnsmasq needs to be configured to be a DHCP server. To do this:
interface=intern0 # make dnsmasq listen for requests only on intern0 (our LAN) expand-hosts # add a domain to simple hostnames in /etc/hosts domain=foo.bar # allow fully qualified domain names for DHCP hosts (needed when # "expand-hosts" is used) dhcp-range=10.0.0.2,10.0.0.255,255.255.255.0,1h # defines a DHCP-range for the LAN: # from 10.0.0.2 to .255 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a # DHCP lease of 1 hour (change to your own preferences)
Somewhere below, you will notice you can also add "static" DHCP leases, i.e. assign an IP-address to the MAC-address of a computer on the LAN. This way, whenever the computer requests a new lease, it will get the same IP. That is very useful for network servers with a DNS record. You can also deny certain MAC's from obtaining an IP.
Now start dnsmasq:
# systemctl start dnsmasq.service
Connection sharing
Time to tie the two network interfaces to each other.
Simple stateful firewall documents the setup of an iptables firewall and NAT.
Shorewall, an iptables frontend, can be used as an easier alternative.
# pacman -S shorewall
Shorewall configuration
See Shorewall for Shorewall configuration.
Now that the installation has been performed, it is necessary to remove as many packages as possible. Since we are making a gateway, keeping unneeded packages only "bloats" the system, and increases the number of security risks.
First, check for obsolete/deprecated packages (likely after a fresh install and massive series of updates):
$ pacman -Qm
Review the list of explicitly installed packages that are not dependencies and remove any that are unneeded. Having only needed packages installed is an important security consideration.
$ pacman -Qet
Completely remove the packages you do not need along with their configuration files and dependencies:
# pacman -Rsn package1 package2 package3
You should review the logrotate configuration to make sure the box is not brought down by lack of diskspace due to logging.
Logrotate is installed by default, so you will not have to install it.
Optional additions
The above configuration of shorewall does not include UPnP support. Use of UPnP is discouraged as it may make the gateway vulnerable to attacks from within the LAN. However, some applications such as MSN require this to function correctly.
Read the Shorewall guide on UPnP for more information
Remote administration
OpenSSH can be used to administer your router remotely. This is useful for running it "headless" (no monitor or input devices).
Caching web proxy
See Squid or Polipo for the setup of a web proxy to speed up browsing and/or adding an extra layer of security.
Time server
To use the router as a time server, see Network Time Protocol.
Then, configure shorewall or iptables to allow NTP traffic in and out.
Content filtering
Install and configure DansGuardian or Privoxy if you need a content filtering solution.
Traffic shaping
Traffic shaping is very useful, especially when you are not the only one on the LAN. The idea is to assign a priority to different types of traffic. Interactive traffic (ssh, online gaming) probably needs the highest priority, while P2P traffic can do with the lowest. Then there is everything in between.
Traffic shaping with shorewall
Read Shorewall's Traffic Shaping/Control guide.
Here is my config as an example:
- /etc/shorewall/tcdevices : here is where you define the interface you want to have shaped and its rates. I have got a ADSL connection with a 4MBit down/256KBit up profile.
ppp0 4mbit 256kbit
- /etc/shorewall/tcclasses : here you define the minimum (rate) and maximum (ceil) throughput per class. You will assign each one to a type of traffic to shape.
# interactive traffic (ssh) ppp0 1 full full 0 # online gaming ppp0 2 full/2 full 5 # http ppp0 3 full/4 full 10 # rest ppp0 4 full/6 full 15 default
- /etc/shorewall/tcrules : this file contains the types of traffic and the class it belongs to.
1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp ssh 2 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp 27000:28000 3 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp http 3 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp https
I have split it up my traffic in 4 groups:
- interactive traffic or ssh: although it takes up almost no bandwidth, it is very annoying if it lags due to leechers on the LAN. This get the highest priority.
- online gaming: needless to say you ca not play when your ping sucks. ;)
- webtraffic: can be a bit slower
- everything else: every sort of download, they are the cause of the lag anyway.

1950s Camel Coat | Vogue 1083
Added Feb 8, 2013
London, United K...
At the start of the Autumn it occurred to me that I needed some staple, comfy, warm winter garments and I went out on a couple of trips to pick some up. On my travels I couldn't help noticing gorgeous camel coats everywhere. I loved the warm neutral colour and the lovely soft fabrics and at the time I felt that I was in need of a winter coat that was long enough to wear over skirts and dresses.
I had a look through some Vintage patterns but ended up choosing a reproduction pattern originally from 1953: Vintage Vogue 1083.
I was lucky enough to find some lovely 100% Camel hair coating from one of my favourite online fabrics shops Truro Fabrics.
They also had a gold lining that worked really well with it, I have mentioned previously that I am a big fan of their 'superior linings', they are completely static free, breathable, easy to work with and they hang really nicely.
The coat calls for interlining and luckily I had some cotton flannel that I bought from The Cotton Patch left in my stash. Their flannel is lovely and as it's primarily intended for quilting it is super duper wide! I also had JUST enough hair canvas for the front of the coat. Don't you love it when that happens?
I decided to make up the version without the closure but to lower the neckline. I made up a calico toile of the coat in the size 6 (I would normally make up a size 8 but this looked big.) then I made the following alterations.
- I shortened the hemline by 25cm as the coat was mid calf and I wanted it knee length
- I removed 5 cm fullness from the front panel by slashing from the hemline to mid shoulder and
overlapping 5cm at the hemline sloping up to 0 at the shoulder.
- I removed 10cm fullness from the back panel pattern piece in the same way. I did this at two separate points overlapping each 5cm at the hem as this is less disruptive to the shape of the pattern piece than removing hemline fullness all in one spot.
- I ignored the fish dart at the neckline and slashed and spread the outer edge of the collar 1.5cm at the back of the neck- the combination of these two alterations gave me the lower break line for the shawl collar that I wanted.
- I curved the drop shoulder down by 1.5cm on the front and back panel- this was because the drop shoulders were square and didn't sit as smoothly as I wanted where the sleeve was attached.
- I removed 6 cm of width from the centre of the sleeves. This dealt with the amount removed from the drop shoulders but also removed the unnecessary amount of ease included in the sleeves. They were HUGE!
- I transferred these alterations back to the paper pattern pieces and then made the same alterations to the corresponding lining/ facing/ interfacing pieces.
Construction wise I followed the pattern instructions pretty closely, being a vintage reproduction it uses a lot of the traditional techniques that I love. I added pad stitching to the shawl collar and stitched the hair canvas down with cotton tape, trimming the canvas so that it didn't extend into the seam allowances. This is a couture technique that helps to create nice flat, crisp edges.
The facing and hem are stitched invisibly down to the inside of the coat by hand. The interlining is then stitched to the inside of the coat along all the seam lines by hand and then finally the lining is attached by hand on top of this!
Before embarking upon all this hand stitching I ran my thread through some tailor's beeswax as this really helps prevent knots from forming in your thread. Once the coat was completed I created thread chains to loosely attach the lining to the coat at the side seams. This keeps everything hanging nicely and stops the lining twisting or riding up.
For tips on little couture techniques like this I would highly recommend Claire B Shaeffer's book 'Couture Sewing Techniques'.
This would be a fantastic project for anyone who is interested in sewing a coat using traditional techniques but that feels they need a little more instruction than may be offered from an original vintage pattern (the instructions in these can be a little thin on the ground.). It is not however a great choice for anyone who doesn't like hand work- consider yourself warned people!

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The New Mexico teen accused of killing his parents and three siblings is portrayed in charging documents as a boy haunted by homicidal and suicidal thoughts that included fantasies of killing his girlfriend's parents and gunning down random people at a Wal-Mart.
To his family, he was a bright and talented musician who played guitar, drums and bass with a church group. He also was a champion wrestler who dreamed of following his family's long tradition of military service, and a boy who accompanied his pastor father on rescue missions to Mexico.
In a statement issued Tuesday night on behalf of family, the boy's uncle Eric Griego described those traits, and called on the media and the public not to use 15-year-old Nehemiah Griego "as a pawn for ratings or to score political points."
"He is a troubled young man who made a terrible decision that will haunt him and his family forever," the statement said.
It gave no clue as to what might have prompted the alleged assault by the teen, who authorities say confessed to shooting his mother and three younger siblings in their beds early Saturday, then waiting in a bathroom with a military-style semi-automatic rifle to ambush his father upon his return from an overnight shift at a homeless shelter.
"Our family is heartbroken over this senseless tragedy," the statement said. "We have not been able to comprehend what led to this incredibly sad situation. However, we are deeply concerned about the portrayal in some media of Nehemiah as some kind of a monster."
The family noted they had no indication such a tragedy could happen, but said it's clear something went terribly wrong.
"Whether it was a mental breakdown or some deeper undiagnosed psychological issue, we can't be sure yet," the statement said. "What we do know is that none of us, even in our wildest nightmare, could have imagined that he could do something like this."
After killing his parents, younger brother and two sisters at the family's home in a rural area southwest of Albuquerque, Griego planned to randomly shoot people at a Wal-Mart, Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston said Tuesday. The teen also contemplated killing the parents of his 12-year-old girlfriend, Houston said.
Griego loaded guns and ammunition into the family's van, but it was unclear if he ended up going to a Wal-Mart or how seriously he contemplated continuing his rampage, the sheriff said.
The attack happened Saturday, the same day thousands of gun advocates rallied around the country to oppose the gun-control measures proposed by President Barack Obama following the December elementary school massacre in Connecticut.
What authorities know, Houston said, was that Griego texted a picture of his dead mother to his girlfriend, then spent much of Saturday with the girl and her family. That evening, Griego went to the church where his father once worked, and he confessed later that night to killing his parents and three siblings, authorities said.
"We know Nehemiah had been contemplating this for some time," Houston said. Griego apparently had told others of his plans, but whom and when were still under investigation, the sheriff said.
The motive, Houston said, "was purely that he was frustrated with his mother."
"He did not give any further explanation," he said.
The teen waived his right to arraignment in adult criminal court Tuesday on charges of murder and child abuse resulting in death and was ordered held without bond. He was arrested Saturday at his family's home.
The sheriff's office identified the dead as Greg Griego, 51, his wife, Sarah Griego, 40, and three of their children: a 9-year-old boy, Zephania Griego, and daughters Jael Griego, 5, and Angelina Griego, 2.
The teen had no history of mental illness or run-ins with the law, and neither drugs nor alcohol appeared to be a factor, Houston said. The sheriff noted the teen liked violent video games such as "Modern Warfare" and "Grand Theft Auto," but he didn't say whether he believed the games were a factor.
Greg Griego was a gang member-turned pastor who had served at Calvary, one of Albuquerque's largest Christian churches. He had an extensive arrest record from his gang days, but was best known throughout the law enforcement community for his work as a volunteer chaplain.
The church planned a prayer vigil Wednesday night.
"We are doing what we can as a church body to minister to the remaining family members," Calvary Pastor Skip Heitzig said in a statement. "Only the Lord Jesus Christ can heal this type of pain and heartache."

Five girls, ages 12 to 16, were robbed at knifepoint Friday night while waiting at the 83rd Street Metra station in the South Chicago neighborhood.
One victim escaped the station and flagged down police, who arrested Andre L. Stovall, 33, after a brief chase.
The girls told police that two men entered the 83rd Street station, 8300 S. Exchange Ave., which is served by the Metra Electric District Line, about 11 p.m. Friday. Both men were armed with knives, police said, and both threatened to kill the girls if they did not hand over their possessions.
Stovall held a 13-year-old against the wall by her neck, according to a police report, while pointing his black-handled knife at a 12-year-old. He said, "Give me your phone and purse, b----, or I will kill you," according to the arrest report.
The girls handed over their phones, but one managed to escape and flag down a passing police car. The sight of the squad car prompted both robbers to flee by jumping off the platform.
Police caught up to Stovall, a college student who lives in the 1100 block of South Springfield Avenue. He faces five counts of armed robbery.
Stovall appeared before Judge Israel Desierto in bond court Sunday, where he was ordered held on $350,000 bail. Stovall, who has another court appearance Friday, will have to post $35,000 to leave jail.

Obama's Response To NSA Surveillance: Some Minor Reforms & Transparency; Still Lacking Justification
from the uh,-not-good-enough dept
- Consider some "reforms" of Section 215 of the Patriot Act, and will reveal more details of the government's secret legal interpretation under Section 215 that allows them to hoover up all data on every communication. That document has been released, and will be discussed in a future post.
- Improve "public confidence" in the FISA court (FISC) with greater transparency about FISC decisions and support for a civil liberties advocate playing a role in "appropriate cases" so that the judges don't just hear from one side. This reform has been suggested a few times and isn't a terrible one, but does have some logistical problems.
- Set up a website to increase transparency. Yeah, sure.
- Set up a group of "outside experts" to review the whole program. Seems a bit late for that.
In answering questions, he insisted the two key programs being discussed, Section 215 of the Patriot Act and 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, were critical to finding important intelligence -- despite the fact that multiple Senators have insisted that there remains no evidence that Section 215 was necessary in any terrorist case.
All in all this seems like a PR scramble by the an administration that realizes it's on the losing side of the public debate. The promises seem pretty weak and hollow. The idea that he was already moving in this direction before the Snowden leaks is simply laughable. Section 702 was just renewed eight months ago and his administration fought very hard against any detailed analysis and any amendment to the law. Reality just doesn't support these claims.

Pharrell Williams Is Taking Us To Atlantis With Upcoming Musical Bio-Pic
The day has finally come! Pharrell Williams is making a musical! Fox Studios recently bought the rights to the upcoming film, entitled Atlantis. The movie will tell the story of Pharrell's upbringing in Virginia Beach and, of course, there will be music! Atlantis will be Williams' second collaboration with Fox Studios following the 2016 blockbuster Hidden Figures.
The ten-time Grammy Award-winning artist's work has spanned several genres of music, including everything from pop to funk to hip-hop and R&B. He has production creds with Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Robin Thicke, Frank Ocean, and we know what Pharrell can do with a soundtrack! Let's not forgot Despicable Me 2's "Happy!" How could you, the song was everywhere!
This coming-of-age musical was inevitable, as far as I'm concerned. Pharrell's work with Hidden Figures took folks to church, not to mention all the music he gave us in the 90's with N.E.R.D. and The Neptunes! This upcoming movie will finally give us a musical look into the man.
Martin Hynes will pen the film's script. So far, we can expect a Romeo & Juliet-inspired illustration of Pharrell's adolescence. No cast announcements yet, but we know that Pharrell will reunite with Dope co-producer, Mimi Valdés. Spring Awakening's Michael Mayer will direct the film. The team rallying behind this project is strong; they've got Grammy-winning musicians, an Oscar and Tony-winning production team, and dozens of amazing projects! We can't contain our excitement!
Who do you think will join the film's cast? Could this bring Janelle Monáe back to the silver screen? What are you looking forward to seeing in Atlantis?

Lynn Nottage Today, Tomorrow and Beyond
Lynn Nottage's 2017 Tony Award nominated play Sweat ended its Broadway run at Studio 54 on June 25. We weren't ready to say goodbye to Sweat, and we're definitely not ready to say goodbye to Lynn Nottage, leaving us to wonder what's next for the two-time Pulitzer prize-winning playwright?
First, if you didn't get a chance to see Sweat on Broadway or if you did but can't get one of the poorest cities in America off your heart and mind, then you'll want to visit Reading, Pennsylvania this summer. Shortly after finishing Sweat, Nottage came up with the idea for a site-specific performance installation honoring the people of Reading. Nottage shared that for a city divided by economical and racial politics, she wanted to highlight the city's potential to use art and culture to bring its citizens together. The installation titled This is Reading will weave "individual stories into one cohesive and compelling tale of the city. Exploring the various viewpoints of the diverse community, [and] give the audience a vibrant and unique perspective of the city of Reading." The installation will utilize live performance, visual media, and film. Located at Franklin Street Station, Reading PA, This is Reading will run July 14-16, July 21-23 and July 28-30.
What could possibly be next for Nottage? A musical of course!
Not just any musical, but an adaptation of Sue Monk Kidd's book, The Secret Life of Bees. Book by Nottage, music by Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening), lyrics by Susan Birkenhead (Jelly's Last Jam) and direction by Sam Gold (Fun Home).
Nottage's first musical follows the story of Lilly Owens, a white teen growing up in 1960's South Carolina and her Black caretaker Rosaleen. After Rosaleen is hospitalized following an attempt to vote, she and Lily do their best to escape the harsh realities of their respective lives in the Jim Crow South, and happen upon a bee farm. "It sang to me" Nottage said of adapting Kidd's book to a musical, "Every page I saw a song."
The Secret Life of Bees will be presented as a workshop production at the Powerhouse Theater from July 27-29, apart of the New York Stage and Film's 2017 season.
Finally, for the 2017/2018 season, Nottage's play Mlima's Tale will make it's world premiere at The Public Theater and run from March 27 through May 20, 2018. Mlima's Tale follows the story of Mlima, an african elephant caught between freedom and the
international ivory black market. Ultimately a story about trade itself, "Mlima leads us through memory and fear, history and tradition, want and need, and reveals the surprising and complicated deals that connect us all." Next season, The Public will celebrate 50 years at its Astor Place location, and Lynn Nottage will be the only Black playwright with work presented.
From a site-specific performance installation, to her first musical, ending with another show at The Public Theater… Lynn Nottage has given us a lot to look forward to following her Broadway debut, and we will be ready. Sitting front and center.

Hercules Plans to Go the Broadway Distance
The 1997 Disney animated film "Hercules" will soon become a Broadway musical, according to composer Alan Menken.
In an interview with The Orange County Register, Menken discussed his participation in the upcoming D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA. He will provide a behind the scenes look at his role in several Disney productions including "Aladdin", "Beauty and the Beast", "Newsies", and "The Little Mermaid". Notice a pattern here? All of those productions are now Tony-winning (or in the case of The Little Mermaid, nominated) Broadway musicals.
Bringing 90's Disney films to life on stage appears to be the new trend as for each aforementioned production, roughly 20 years has passed since the Disney theatrical release. When asked which films he thought were underrated, Menken replied "I have a very strong belief like "Newsies", "Hercules" is going to have a moment that will surprise people. Actually, I'm working on a stage version of "Hercules." So far, no timeline or casting has been announced for this project.
If the 20 year waiting period from screen to stage can be believed, we should probably look forward to an announcement next year about a stage production of either "Mulan" or "A Bug's Life." Both were released in 1998, but we're crossing our fingers for the one that's more likely to star Lea Salonga.
The "Hercules" animated film starred the voices of Lillias White (Dreamgirls), Cheryl Freeman (The Civil War), LaChanze (The Color Purple), Roz Ryan (Ain't Misbehavin') and Vanéese Y. Thomas (R&B Single "Let's Talk it Over") as the muses and narrators of the tale, Keith David (Jelly's Last Jam) as Apollo, Roger Bart (Big River) as Hercules' singing voice and Susan Egan (Beauty and the Beast) as Megara.

Michaela Coel Stars in London-based Musical "Been So Long" Film Adaption
Michaela Coel, creator, writer, and star of the BAFTA award-winning Netflix original series, "Chewing Gum", stars in the London-based musical "Been So Long," a film adaptation based on the 2009 stage musical by Ché Walker and Arthur Darvill.
Coel plays Simone, a young single mother charmed into a magical night in the city by a handsome stranger with a questionable past- played by Arinzé Kene (One Night in Miami). This modern day love story set in London's "musical hot-bed" of Camden Town promises a soundtrack with a mix of RnB, Nu Soul and UK dance, as well as music from guest producers.
Coel is joined by an all-singing and all-dancing cast that includes George Mackay ("Captain Fantastic"), Ronke Adekoluejo ("Chewing Gum"), Ashley Thomas ("24"), Joe Dempsie ("Game Of Thrones"), Luke Norris ("The Duchess"), Rakie Ayola (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and Mya Lewis ("Olaf's Quest"). It is Directed by BAFTA award-winner Tinge Krishnan ("Junkhearts") and produced by the BAFTA-nominated Nadine Marsh-Edwards ("Bhaji on the Beach") and Amanda Jenks ("The Girl") of Greenacre Films.
Filming began earlier this year, shortly after season 2 of "Chewing Gum" was released on Netflix, and while she is making waves as a comedienne, Coel admits she is a stranger to musicals. However, Coel is no stranger to the stage and is quite theatrically and musically inclined having performed her one-woman show Chewing Gum Dreams in various theatres across London (2012-2014) before turning it into the hit series we know and love. She also wrote and recorded six of the tracks from season 1 of "Chewing Gum," including the theme song.
Still, of singing and dancing on screen Coel shares, "It is a big stretch for me…I've never done anything like this in my life. It's either going to be really amazing or just like, 'What the f–k was that?'" (Screen Daily).
Either way, we're rooting for her and can't wait to see her on the big screen.
"Been So Long" made its rounds at the Cannes Film Festival in May and is set for international release in 2018. "Chewing Gum" season 3 is yet to be confirmed.

Once On This Island Revival Set to Arrive on Broadway This Fall
Earlier this week, producers Ken Davenport and Hunter Arnold announced that the Michael Arden-directed Broadway revival of Once On This Island will begin performances November 9, with an official December 3 opening. A theatre has not been announced.
Camille A. Brown, a Broadway Black favorite, also joins the creative team as choreographer. Her previous credits include Cabin In The Sky, The Box, and tick, tick…BOOM!
Last December, a developmental workshop for the show featured Darlesia Cearcy, Lawrence Clayton, Patrice Covington, Quentin Earl Darrington, Charity Angel Dawson, Mike Evariste, Adrianna Jackson, Bre Jackson, Cassondra James, Isaiah Johnson, Mykal Kilgore, Grasan Kingsberry, Kenita R. Miller, Dimitri Joseph Moise, and Maria Wirries.
While casting for the Broadway production hasn't been announced, producers have stated that an international casting call will take place for the title role of Ti Moune. Starting April 7 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, the search will then go on to Detroit (April 14), Chicago (April 15), Los Angeles (April 27), New Orleans (April 29), Atlanta (April 30), and conclude in New York on May 2.
An Equity casting notice also revealed that the show will get a staged reading in June before its Broadway bow.
The story centers around Ti Moune, a peasant girl in love with a much wealthier boy Daniel, set in the French Antilles and based on the novel My Love, My Love by Rosa Guy.
The show features music by Stephen Flaherty and a book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, the composing team that won a Tony Award in 1998 for Ragtime. Once On This Island first made its way to Broadway in 1990, directed by Graciela Daniele and starring LaChanze.
It received eight Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Performance by a Featured Actress for LaChanze. The show ran for a total of 19 previews and 469 regular performances.

Ain't Too Proud–The Temptations Musical Will Play Berkeley Rep Theatre's 2017-2018 Season
Berkeley Repertory Theatre's upcoming season has some new and exciting works from creators such as Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket of A Series of Unfortunate Events), Dominique Morisseau, Nilaja Sun, and Lillian Hellman. Most importantly, the 2017-18 line-up will bring forth a look at the biggest male R&B group: The Temptations.
Ain't Too Proud–The Temptations, penned by Morisseau, will begin in August, with direction by Des McAnuff, who staged the Broadway hit Jersey Boys. Aside from McAnuff, the creative team includes Olivier Award-winning choreographer Sergio Trujillo and musical director and supervisor Kenny Seymour.
Billed as The Detroit Project, the Motown-inspired musical listed an equity casting notice on Playbill last December with characters such as Otis Williams, Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin, Elbridge "Al" Bryant, and David Ruffin (who later replaced Bryant). Other roles include the legendary Smokey Robinson and Tammi Terrell, as well as Dennis Edwards, the Supremes' Mary Wilson, Richard Street.
The show follows the group from their start in Detroit to their rise to fame, including the production of several hits for Motown. The musical will focus on the group's "heydey" and not the latter years including drugs and internal turmoil. As Showbiz411's Roger Friedman reports: "While the plotline sounds similar to Broadway's recent offering, Motown The Musical, the show will tell the story from the five musicians' point of view, rather than from that of Motown legend Berry Gordy."
Audiences can expect to hear traditional Temptations hits from the Motown catalogue, such as "My Girl," "Just My Imagination," and "Poppa Was a Rolling Stone."

Phylicia Rashad To Direct The Roommate at Steppenwolf Theatre
Steppenwolf Theatre Company has announced that stage, film and television star Phylicia Rashad will direct the company's Chicago premiere of The Roommate, starring Ora Jones and Sandra Marquez, as part of their 2017-2018 season. Performances begin June 21, 2018, and end August 21, 2018.
Rashad, perhaps best-known for her TV role as Clair Huxtable on The Cosby Show, has several directorial credits to her name, including a plethora of works by the late August Wilson. She directed Seattle Repertory Theatre's 2007 production of Gem of the Ocean, the 2014 revival of Fences at the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, NJ, and most recently, a 2016 production of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles.
In a press announcement, artistic director Anna D. Shapiro said:
"We are thrilled to have the phenomenal Phylicia Rashad join us next season. Her captivating artistry spans theatre, television, and film, and her work continues to break boundaries. Steppenwolf's relationship with Phylicia began when she portrayed Viola Westin in August: Osage County on Broadway and has deepened through her work in ensemble member Tarell Alvin McCraney's Head of Passes. It was a true joy to pay honor to her at this year's Women in the Arts luncheon, and we look forward to welcoming her back to direct this beautiful play."
