The beautiful Chateau de La Manay comfortably sleeps 18: 16 in the château and an additional two in the guest house. During your stay you will enjoy relaxing around the large swimming pool and exploring the numerous castles of the Loire Valley. Chateau Chateau de La Manay is decorated with a combination of contemporary and antique-style furnishings, and each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom.
The castle is situated on 36 acres of secluded grounds in Sarthe, adjacent to Lombron, a small and enchanting village of just 1,800 inhabitants, near Le Mans in the Loire Valley. Chateau de La Manay includes beautiful tree-lined paths, apple and pear orchards and a one and a half-acre lake. The chateau is even surrounded by a moat. Pastoral views of the moat and pond can be enjoyed from the dining terrace that overlooks the grounds. The lake teems with fish the whole year round and hosts an interesting variety of birds and fowl. The grounds also include well-kept boulevards and paths bordered by weeping trees and an extensive orchard. Walks on the property cross grassy fields and wooded areas, and join other well-marked lanes and trails in the surrounding countryside.
The Château de La Manay was initially a 15th century building with 18th century additions and has been lovingly restored. Its renaissance architecture is found in many châteaux of the Loire region.
What you should know…
- Whilst the moat is beautiful and adds a great historical touch, you'll need to keep an eye on the little ones!
- There is a lovely guesthouse next to the main building, ideal for a couple seeking for some extra privacy
- Please note that air-conditioning is available in one room only (the bedroom in the terrace wing, just above the moat)

The atmosphere throughout the château is convivial, and there are numerous places to relax and play. The château is maintained in exquisite condition and is decorated with a combination of contemporary and antique furnishings. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom.
The ground floor consists of a large living room, a spacious formal dining room, a breakfast room, the library, a family room, the expansive kitchen, and hallways surrounding an enclosed courtyard. The kitchen is modern and well equipped, and sits next to a small and informal dining/breakfast room with an imposing fireplace. The living room is spacious and tastefully furnished and affords views of the lake, moat and terrace. The formal dining room can be found adjacent to the kitchen and comfortably seats 18 guests. French doors open out directly onto the courtyard and its fountain. Lunch or supper can also easily be taken on the terrace.
There is a secluded library with an office in the tower on the first floor. Books, old and new, in French and in English, mean the library is an ideal place to relax while enjoying views of the lake and moat. A fax machine and internet access is also available in the office.

LocationAbout the surrounding area of Chateau De La Manay
The nearest international airports are Paris (180km) and Rennes (170km) whereas the nearest port is Caen (170km).
The chateau is located in the Pays de la Loire region, which is within easy walking distance of a quaint village that has its own bakery, butcher cafe and pharmacy. The Pays de la Loire is the perfect escape, whether you're looking for adventure or a relaxing break. The local waterways lend themselves to leisurely stops along the river and there are river cruises that offer lunch and dinner.
Echoes of history abound in the castles, abbeys, churches and the bustling market towns which continue ancient traditions. A visit to the world renowned 11th century Solesmes Abbey, where monks still sing Gregorian chant, will transport you back to the middle ages.
The property is ideally located for numerous interesting day excursions. Paris is less than a 2-hour drive by car or just 55 minutes on the famous TGV (high-speed train) from Le Mans. Brittany and Normandy are both within easy reach of the castle. You will be able to explore the many castles of the Loire Valley and return to the castle each night. The Château is also just a short 20-minute drive from the famous motoring city of Le Mans. The old town and its beautiful medieval historic quarter is one of the preferred medieval and renaissance locations. It is also one of the most filmed, appearing in many French movies, including Cyrano de Bergerac.
A beautiful 18 hole golf course with a château setting is approximately 10 kilometres away. Exciting hot air balloon or helicopter rides above the Loire castles with photos shoots are available nearby.
There is a very nice swimming lake about a 10 km away and even some small sailing possible there. Bicycles are at your disposal and the ride to the lake is through beautiful small country roads. There is horse riding in the village as well as 3 nice tennis courts.

Beyond belief
This place was more than I expected. The location was perfect, the grounds were amazing and the house itself was beyond belief. Very comfortable for a place so large. The housekeeper was wonderful and was more than willing to help our group with anything we needed. I would recommend this vacation to anyone looking for a one in a life time experience!
Wonderful stay!
This project is simply stunning with lovely grounds, lake, 36 acres of land behind to explore and best of all your very own moat! There is also a black swan we dubbed Jean Pierre who patrols the lake and most and will not say no to some fresh bread. The chateau itself was delightful with en suite bedrooms with gorgeous views and a homey charm that did not make you feel too nervous sitting on the furniture. A special mention must be made to the housekeeper who was just fabulous and made you feel so welcome in this majestic home. I am already planning my next trip to this lovely house and could not recommend this property and area enough! 6 stars for the owner, staff, property and area!
Charming chateau
We attend the legendary Le Mans 24 hour race every year with our guests and have been lucky enough to stay at this wonderful chateau for many years situated just 20 minutes from the circuit. After the hustle and bustle of the race track it is wonderful to return each evening to the tranquil surroundings of this beautiful chateau. The owner has been very accommodating with our many requests which are often quite demanding at times. The chateau is steeped in history and has been lovingly restored keeping many original features - be sure to look up the charming stories attached to the chateau, many references of its history can be found in documents in the chateau's library.
I would recommend to anyone
We had a wonderful time and I would recommend the chateau to anyone.

Attribution denies Hill to land Klairon Davis
Attribution showed a pleasing attitude to claim Grade Three honours in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Klairon Davis Novice Chase at Navan.
Former Champion Bumper hero and Grade One-winning novice hurdler Briar Hill was the 4-6 favourite as he continues to get his career back on track but this two-mile-one-furlong trip was always likely to be at the lower end of his range.
He was upsides the Henry de Bromhead pair of Attribution and Three Stars as they all jumped the last two virtually in a line, but Attribution's (4-1) superior turn of foot was the deciding factor as he flashed past the post half a length to the good over Briar Hill.
De Bromhead said: "I'm delighted with that. He battled really well. He's quite lazy throughout so I'm just delighted to see him battle.
"It was a super ride from Bryan (Cooper) and he jumped well.
"They both ran a blinder, Three Stars also under a 6lb penalty. They both ran really well and I'm delighted with both of them, to be honest. They both jumped well and I'm really pleased.
"Attribution might even get a bit further and we might look at the novice chase in Limerick for him."

Using the XenServer Java API to launch a VM
Citrix XenServer has a management API which lets you control every aspect of your hypervisor: hosts, guest VMs, networks, storage. The API has bindings to multiple languages, including Java. Apache CloudStack integrates with XenServer and since CloudStack is written in Java it makes extensive use of the XenServer Java API. If you're interested to see an example of how to use the XenServer Java API to launch a VM, take a look at this article I just wrote for cloudspring.com Read more >>
Making the CloudStack "Quick Install" quicker
After preparing Apache CloudStack according to the directions in the "Basic Installation Guide", which is also called the "Quick Install Guide", you're supposed to login to the management server web ui and "provision your cloud infrastructure." The web ui's Basic Installation wizard takes you through 17 screens before you get to click the Launch button and actually deploy system VMs onto your hypervisor. The Guide is definitely helpful but I think it would be even more helpful to see some concrete examples of what you could enter into the 17-screen wizard. Below are some example values you can enter into the wizard to get some quick satisfaction with CloudStack. Read more >>
Timing races in Selenium 2: implicit waits vs explicit waits
The most common debugging experience in automated Selenium testing is the ubiquitous timing race, where your code is rushing to access a WebElement that hasn't been fully loaded into the driver yet. If you're stepping through the test one line at a time it will work just fine, but when you let it run in batch mode at its own speed, then it crashes with a complaint like NoSuchElementException. When you've got a suite of a hundred or more Selenium testcases you definitely don't want to step through them one line at a time, it needs to be automated.
The timing race stems from the fact that Read more >>

The Chicago Tribune featured the Booth Hansen designed Farm on Ogden in an article entitled Five urban farming projects in Chicago to watch in 2017.
Farm on Ogden (located at 3555 W. Ogden Avenue) is a new $3.5 million urban farm conceived by the Lawndale Christian Health Center and Windy City Harvest (which is the Chicago Botanic Garden's urban farming program). The Farm will allow Windy City Harvest to increase overall production and double its training capacity – Windy City Harvest currently grows more than 100,000 pounds of produce a year in addition to training low-income people of color how to farm. The 30,000 square foot facility will house a 50,000 gallon aquaponics system, greenhouse, store that sells the farmed produce, and a commercial kitchen for hosting cooking classes.
See the Chicago Tribune's article on the Farm on Ogden here.

SOPHA to offer Hollywood portrait class
With a glamorous nod to Tinseltown, The SOPHA (Studio of Photographic Arts), will offer the photography class, "Recreating the Hollywood Portrait," on April 21st, from 9:30AM to 5:30PM.
SOPHA owner, photographer and instructor Bud Thorpe explained SOPHA's mission statement, in creative terms.
"The SOPHA does three things," he said. "It's a membership model; we run classes for our members; but we're really a home for their photography, so we do everything from image reviews to equipment rentals, and a big piece of what we do is we rent out studio space – we have 6,000 square feet. Plus, studio space for our members comes fully equipped, which is rather unusual in our industry- we have two studios. And our 65 members rent for their art or for their business."
SOPHA offers a number of classes, said Thorpe, "some of which are more broad in nature, like 'The Beginnings of Photography,' or "The Beginnings of Studio Lighting,' but some are much more narrow in focus and much more deep. And this one is an example of one that is much more deep."
Thorpe began delving into Hollywood portraitures and said that's part of how this class came about.
"With 'Recreating the Hollywood Portrait,' we're looking to show how, from the '30s to the '50s, the Hollywood classic portraits were made, using techniques that are almost forgotten today. Because we're largely reliant on strobe lighting, which does not at all look the same as portrait lighting, I've been studying these techniques for a very long time. And have wanted to run a class for a long time and so that's what this class is about."
Thorpe said the class won't be huge and it might appeal to diehard photographers who are willing to move into the future of photography while keeping one foot firmly in the past.
"We expect six or eight photographers," he said. "So it will be narrow, but we are using models, one male, one female, from Maggie's Inc., a big agency in Boston that we're friends with. And we also have a stylist as well."
So, is there a lot involved after these golden-age images are shot?
"That's an awesome question" Thorpe replied. "So, we obviously didn't have digital editing techniques back then, but there were quite a lot of post processing techniques that were done. It's where the term air brushing comes from. And while we won't be doing that part, we'll be capturing things digitally, not using film though I wish I could. We will be showing people how those techniques used to be done; but then showing how we can mimic that look digitally."
Thorpe also relied on a little old school know-how.
"We have some very old books, that have behind the scenes images in them and we'll be using that as reference material because they're some of the only known behind the scenes pictures of these things."
For those in the know, Thorpe will be using Hurrrell-style shooting, named after famed photographer George Hurrell.
"He was 50 or 60 years in Hollywood," said Thorpe. "He's responsible for this style by anyone's definition. We'd be hard to argue this. Everyone from Ann Sheridan to Shirley Temple to Robert Montgomery and Gypsy Rose Lee- the famous picture of her that everyone knows, that was him. And Barbara Stanwyck – the list is endless."
Thorpe added that there are many reasons how and why old Hollywood images all have that certain "It Girl" (and Boy) quality.
"That's true- there is a whole number of reasons why the photographs looked that way," he said. "One big reason was because of the film stock available at the time. The film stock of the time had a relatively low D-max so to get the highlights and the skin correct, you had to expose correctly for that which meant your shadows went completely to black unless you went way out of your way to make sure that wasn't the case. And that actually became the style."
He continued, saying, "And then when you add to the type of light they were using, which were mostly Mole Richardson's hot lights, Hurrell-based lights, that are very, very bright in the center, very, very dark on the edges, they create stark, dark shadows so because the light wasn't very soft, like it is nowadays, it necessitated some crew mastery airbrush skills. In fact, if we look at the diagram of the studio that George Hurrell ended up building later in his career (when he had money), you'll see square footage wise, he has more square footage allotted to the folks doing post processing than to the folks handling the negatives and doing everything else. You couldn't do it all on a Mac and be done with it. It was a whole other level of artisanship."
Hurrell also went retail- another advent to his success.
"In fact, in one of my books I have the address of it, because he sent out a postcard announcing that he had sort of a retail store front if you can believe it," said Thorpe. "Because there were so many young stars and starlets looking to have photographs down by George Hurrell. He had a whole sales process around that."
Hurrell's era probably ended in 1954, give or take, said Thorpe.
"They moved into color and then we have the contemporaries from there."
So, does Thorpe embrace the new techniques or relish the old richness?
"The truth is I love every genre of portraiture there is. To me, this is just an additional tool in a tool box to be able to recreate, either for my artistic need, or a client's want."
Ultimately, Thorpe said it's the creative need that drives any artist.
"If you have something that an art director is presenting to you as a style that they want to create, to be able to recreate that as you will, would be an important skill," he said. "And to go farther than that, there are two sides to a photographer. There's the business side-you know, where a photographer wants or needs to get paid, and so to be able to meet that need is important. But also, artistically, photographers in many ways are like painters or many other media artists, where in their brain, they're starting with a blank canvas and they're adding the parts that they want. So, to be able to have a lighting style in your quiver to be able to pull out, I think is a valuable skill. That's true for many genres in the way they were done. But in this one, because one does not typically pull out 750 and 1000-watt Hurrell lights to light something. I do. I'm odd and quirky I suppose. "

MOORPARK, Calif. The tiger that was shot and killed while roaming Ventura County reportedly had been declawed and apparently was raised in captivity.
K-CAL T-V reports a necropsy determined that the tiger also weighed about 350 pounds rather than the original estimate of about 425 pounds. But state officials argued that the big cat could still be dangerous.
Note: The trackers at the scene reported the cat weighed 650 Lb. This cat was about the same size as your average deskbound computer geek.
Government trackers shot the black and orange cat Wednesday morning as it came within several hundred yards of soccer and baseball fields at the edge of a housing development in Moorpark. They had been following its paw prints for more than a week.
The baseball and soccer fields were empty,and everyone was indoors
Meanwhile, tonight, about 100 people held a candlelight vigil in Moorpark to protest the animal's killing. One protester held a sign that read "Goodbye beautiful animal."
I would have been there had I known about the event - I plan to find out how such things are organized - not that I ever hope to need that information again.
However, having been a government employee for 22 years, I also know the system. There was, unfortunately, no way to prevent this. Any controls put in place to protect the animal would be considered dangerous to the trackers, and would be ruled by whatever powers there were to be unusable.

Where was it the animal came from... did they get a definitive on that?
F&G have stopped releasing any informationtitanic March 5th, 2005
Apparently they want this news story to go away, so the only official information is a recording of the original 911 call. Everything you get now is merely a response to someone calling Fish & Game and being told they acted properly and to shut up about it.

And yet...and yet...if a 350 lb. DOG were on the loose they would not have shot it at all.
California is bad - but Apparently it's worse where YOU aretitanic March 6th, 2005
For every Tiger living in the wild, there are 20 living in captivity - in Texas alone. Something like 7,000 of them, Mostly under conditions far from adequate. Not only do their lives suck, but a alot of them are "Mutts" and are cross breeds of different subspecies. No good for a zoo and certainly no good for reintroducing a wild population. All you can do is neuter them and let them live their lives out in a sanctuary.
I wish I go up and see these guys again next week - but they are not where you can see them except for the special Twilight tours. I'm not yet in a position where I can actually volunteer to help at a place like this - yet.

I am so jealous you are going to Vegas! I hope that one day, maybe next year, I will be able to go as well. I hope you have a fantastic time. I was also commenting on my Currently that I have to get something done for Mother's Day. I found a cute card idea on Pinterest (kids trace their hands and you put the words I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH between the hands) and I am going to have them make lemon sugar hand scrub again. Hope you find something fun to do with your kiddos! Hope you have a productive weekend.ReplyDeleteReplies
i love your card idea! i am so excited about Vegas! I have been anting to go forever! Thanks for commentingDelete
I am also jealous that you get to go to Vegas! I'm hoping that I will make it one day! I love that your student teacher has taught you a lot of technology…perhaps I need to have a student teacher next year! I'm always feeling "behind the times" when it comes to technology, and I'm too young to be feeling that way! It's definitely a goal of mine for next year! I hope that you have a wonderful, productive weekend that goes by slow enough to make you feel like you have more time than you actually do.ReplyDelete

I love using technology and it has been fun learning new things from my student teacher! Unfortunately, my weekend seemed to fly by and I have not gotten much done.Delete
Thanks for commenting
A quiet, productive weekend?! Does that even exist!?!ReplyDelete
I am in in England and I didn't know the royal baby was born! I should listen to the news more ;)ReplyDelete
Hope you will enjoy your time in Vegas and it will be better than you expected!
Congrats on getting to go to Vegas! I hope you have a lot of fun. Don't we all need more time-especially with the end of the year looming! I'm excited about the Royal Baby too-I can't believe that they were already sent home!ReplyDelete

Thanks for commenting
Congratulations on heading to Vegas this summer. I would love to go sometime! I know I can't leave my little one right now. The Royal Baby news is so exciting. I was hoping they would name her Diana and call her that but at least it is part of her name!ReplyDelete
KinderKids Fun
Jealous of your student teacher and your Vegas trip. I went the year before last for the I Teach K conference and they had a blogger meet up that was so much fun. Enjoy! Maybe I'll get to meet you the next year. I love your blog name by the way - very cute.ReplyDelete

When the real estate market is hot, everyone tries to cash in. And with shows like HGTV's "Fixer Upper", "Property Brothers", "Home Town", and about half a dozen variations of "Flip or Flop", people think it's really easy to simply buy a fixer-upper, dump some cash into it, and walk away with a huge profit. That's not always the case. While those guys on TV make sure that no corners are cut and everything's up to code, that's not always the case with your everyday "flipper". If you're one of those Havasu home buyers who is considering purchasing a flipped home, you might want to ask yourself this first: "is that flip a flop?"
Havasu Home Buyers: Questions You Need to Ask a Flipper
Were the Proper Permits Pulled for the Work Performed?
This Lake Havasu home was a total gut job. They updated the HVAC system. They tore down walls to create an open floor plan. Maybe they even added an extra bedroom. Havasu home buyers need to make sure all work had the proper permits pulled and approved before signing on the dotted line.
Did They Use Licensed and Bonded Contractors?
Next, find out who did the actual construction work on the property. Were they licensed, bonded, and insured? If so, then they have to follow specific standards and protocols to ensure the work is done to code. If not, you run a higher risk of shoddy workmanship. Once you get a list of which contractors did what work, check with the licensing board to make sure they have no complaints lodged against them. Another reason you should get a list of all contractors on the job? Just in case there is an issue with something they worked on down the road. You'll know exactly who to call about it.
What Did it Look Like Before the Renovations?
Many flippers take photos before they do any work, during the remodeling process, and after all the work is complete. Ask to see the "before" photos. These help give Havasu home buyers insight into exactly what has been done to the property. The photos may also reveal things to watch out for as far in the future, such as wiring, plumbing, and ducting.
What Other Repairs Have Been Made?
Finally, Havsau home buyers should feel free to ask about any other repairs, too. For example, were the windows replaced? If so, do they have a double warranty? This means that the warranty extends to both the original owner (the flipper) and the next owner (potentially, you). If it's a single warranty and you discover a defect after you take ownership of the home, the warranty won't apply. You might also want to ask if there were any small repairs made in the last two or three years (anything costing more than $250, for example). These might not be included on the Residential Seller's Property Disclosure form ("spuds"). However, if you ask about it, the seller must give you an answer.
Whether you're a first-time home buyer or a seasoned pro, all Havasu home buyers should ask questions before they plunk their hard-earned cash down on a property. For most people, buying a home is the biggest investment they will make. You want to be as informed a buyer as possible. Contact me if you have any questions about buying a flipped home in the Lake Havasu market.
Suzan James, Havasu Realty, for all your Lake Havasu real estate needs

This post compiles a collection of sites that provide data, covering curated collections, data releases through Open Data movements or 'Data-as-a-Service' platforms. This collection has previously lived elsewhere on my site under the 'REFERENCES' menu but I have decided that I no longer intend to put energies in to maintaining this as an ongoing, comprehensive and up-to-date list. (On that note I can't guarantee that all links are live, active and current).
Rather than kill the page remorselessly I thought it would at least be worth sharing here as a form of permanent archive and just let it slowly, gradually decay in value over time.

I usually have a cup of black coffee in the morning, and it would be my only caffeine serving for the day.
But, there was something about that day that steered away from routine; I had my usual cup of black coffee—an hour later, had a grande Starbucks Americano with extra shot of espresso.
Long story short, I had duodenal gastric acidity.

What is up with all the finger-pointing? By this I mean the terrible habit of politicians, thought leaders and executives pointing their index fingers at the audience in the "I told you so" pose. It's condescending and says "I know better than you."
Unfortunately, it's also when a thousand camera shutters click away to capture the action shot. It helps make the story come alive - and it's not pretty, if you're the one doing the pointing. A better approach is to gesture with an open hand, or perhaps two hands. It looks more positive and won't offend your audience - unless that's the point.

The man accused of attacking flight attendants and passengers on board a Delta flight to Beijing last week will remain in federal custody—at least for now.
23-year-old Joseph Hudek IV of Tampa is charged with interfering with flight crew members and attendants during a flight from Seattle to Beijing on July 6.
Hudek didn't dispute remaining in custody during a brief detention hearing on Thursday, U.S. Department of Justice spokeswoman Emily Langlie said. His attorney wants to revisit the issue of detention in the future, but she said he'll remain at the federal detention center in SeaTac for now.
In Thursday's hearing, Hudek stipulated to be detained, meaning he can request a future hearing to ask for release.
Hudek's attorney Robert Flennaugh said that is still being investigated and prepared for the judge.
"People who know the true Joe Hudek want him to be released," Flennaugh said. "During the first 24 hours of his detention, my office has received over 180 letters of support."
Related: Criminal complaint filed against man who assaulted Delta flight attendant
Hudek was traveling on a dependent ticket in first class on Delta Flight 129 when he tried to open the emergency exit door mid-flight and attacked two flight attendants and a passenger.
Court documents said crew members tried to restrain Hudek when he lunged for the exit door, rotating the door handle 90 degrees. He fought back, punching them and hitting two people over the head with wine bottles.

A flight attendant hit Hudek with a wine bottle as well, and documents said he didn't seem phased, saying, "Do you know who I am?"
Flennaugh said Hudek's actions were uncharacteristic.
"Flying is not new to him," Flennaugh said. "He has been flying in planes since he was five. In fact, he has flown over 100 times."
The plane was forced to turn around near Vancouver Island and return to Seattle, where passengers waited hours for another flight to take them to Beijing.
Hudek feels awful about what happened and is apologetic to everyone on the aircraft, Flennaugh said.
Related: Seattle Delta flight turns around after passenger assaults attendant
Documents said Hudek was served one beer before the flight took off, but didn't seem intoxicated and didn't drink anymore during the flight.
Hudek is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing July 21, unless a grand jury returns an indictment prior to that court appearance.
He faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.

Rangers at Mariners Fantasy Preview May 28 2018
The Seattle Mariners are doing a great job to keep things together following the Robinson Cano suspension. Earlier this week, they traded for Denard Span and Alex Colome from the Tampa Bay Rays and kept on winning to stay close with the Houston Astros in the rough-and-tumble AL West.
Pitching matchup
Marco Gonzales (4-3, 4.05 ERA) hasn't given up an earned run in either of his last two starts while allowing seven hits, three walks and striking out eight in 12.2 innings. The 26-year-old lefty has not fallen apart in a start since mid-April.
Doug Fister (1-4, 4.22 ERA) was a disaster against the Yankees in an outing last week. The Rangers won, but not before Fister dished up three home runs en route to allowing six earned runs on 11 hits, a walk and two strikeouts.
Better play: Gonzales
Fister is a volatile starter. Sometimes he has it and others times he doesn't. Even when he's on, he doesn't rack up many meaningful stats. Gonzales has a chance to notch you some strikeouts and win a game while walking very few.
Who should start
- Kyle Seager has nice lifetime numbers against Fister: 8-for-22, three doubles and a home run. He's due for an uptick in production, and this could be the perfect matchup to start it.
- Shin-soo Choo's splits against lefties aren't great, but they are fine to keep him in your starting lineup. Even better, he has two hits in three career at-bats against Gonzales.
Who should sit
- Denard Span's role on the Mariners is still to be determined, but he has reverse splits. Against right-handers this season Span is batting just .226. It may be too soon to expect him to contribute.
- Delino DeShields feasts on left-handed pitching to the tune of .343/.439/.514 in 2018. There's a lot to like there, but every player has tough matchups. DeShields is 0-for-3 with two strikeouts against Gonzales all-time.
Mariners too win, They have to beat up on lesser teams in order to stay within striking distance of the Astros. Many of their hitters have positive histories against Fister, where as the Texas offense is still figuring out what Gonzales has in his repetoire.

The Sharon Playhouse welcomed two new leaders in November 2016: Emily Soell became president of the board of directors, and George Quick was hired as managing director.
At the time, the duo had no plans to fill the artistic director position that was left vacant by the departure of John Simpkins, and they were also considering "Guys and Dolls" and "The Fantasticks" for the Playhouse's summer season.
Well, a lot has changed in three months.
By the time I left the Warner Theatre after the opening night of "The Who's Tommy," I couldn't stop singing the lyrics to "Pinball Wizard" — "That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball!"
Of course, this was accompanied by my amazing air guitar moves.

Although "Our Town" is a theater staple, particularly with community theaters, I had never seen a performance until I sat in the audience during the current run at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck.
The year is 1428 and no one in court may marry until Prince Dauntless does. And since his mother, Queen Aggravain, nixes every prospective bride with impossible-to-answer quizzes, wedded bliss has ground to a halt (although other aspects of a happy union appear to thrive).
From here, "Once Upon A Mattress" — a leisurely song-and-dance-version of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Princess and the Pea" — spins out pleasantly, and sometimes wryly, at The Ghent Playhouse.
This is a perfect show for the first few weekends post-New Year's. "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" is a charming musical full of whimsy and nostalgia, brimming with gentle melancholy and significant glimmers of hope.
It's also an ideal musical for a space like the Center for the Performing Arts at Rhinebeck with a small cast, such as the one provided by CENTERstage Productions.
TheatreWorks New Milford's production of "Private Lives" is a richly funny presentation that enlivens Noel Coward's rapier-sharp script by bringing to the rather intimate theater five actors who are as agile with their lines as they are with their expressions, reactions and physical comedy.
We may not see ourselves in every scene, but more often than not, the wonderfully clever dialogue reminds us of moments that we have experienced for ourselves. And it will surely make you laugh.
The Sherman Players go to impressive lengths to revive another old chestnut, "Life With Father," which is said to be the longest-running non-musical in Broadway history, as well as the basis of a 1947 movie and a 1950s TV series. That they don't entirely succeed has less to do with their efforts than it does with the difficulty of relating to the material, a supposedly comical memoir by Clarence Day Jr. of growing up in late-19th-century New York City with a dominating father.
Most years, seeing a version of "A Christmas Carol" is on the to-do list along with, yet again, watching Jimmy Stewart in "It's A Wonderful Life," listening to Bing Crosby sing "White Christmas" and trying to find a pack of AA batteries on Dec. 26. The production at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck may check off one of the boxes, but it truly entertains and uplifts in the process.
I'm a little hazy on Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol" — a tale of greed, as I recall, revelation and redemption. But that's, reasonably, all kind of glossed over in The Ghent Playhouse's 17th annual panto, that eccentric British musical pantomime employing cross-dressing, political barbs and salty chatter wrapped in a familiar fairy tale at Christmas time.
This last year, the only Broadway show the musical-comedy nerds in my house could think about was "Hamilton." When we tuned into the Tony Awards in June, we realized that there were, of course, other shows nominated. One was the revival of "She Loves Me" by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock, who also wrote "Fiddler on the Roof."

Theatre's annual free audition event will feature youth and young adult casting for three of the professional shows in the Theatre's 2018/19 season, including Disney Beauty and the Beast and West Side Story
February 27, 2018 (Jupiter) – The Maltz Jupiter Theatre is seeking young performers for Disney Beauty and the Beast and West Side Story!
The Broadway smash hits are just two of the musicals with roles up for grabs at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre's ninth annual First Step to Stardom audition day on Saturday, April 14, with roles for children ages 8 - 9 and young adults ages 18 - 25. The day will feature casting for the Theatre's professional productions of the family-friendly musicals Disney Beauty and the Beast, West Side Story and a third smash hit musical set to be announced April 1.
"Our First Step to Stardom audition day has become a wonderful annual opportunity for area students to experience the audition process, and we are thrilled to be offering the chance to audition for youth roles in three of our upcoming professional musicals," said Andrew Kato, the Theatre's producing artistic director and chief executive. "Disney Beauty and the Beast and West Side Story are both powerhouse family-friendly classics, and we're particularly excited about the third mega-musical we're producing. Due to our agreement with the licensors, we're not able to announce it until April 1 – but we can assure everyone that it will be a hit!"
As the largest regional theatre in Florida, the Theatre creates every detail seen in its season shows, from the sets and costumes to hiring the creative teams and casts. The Theatre is one of the area's top employers of both onstage and backstage talent, including directors, choreographers, designers, musicians, performers and stage crew. To cast its professional shows, the Theatre draws from both local and national talent. Between 400 and 700 people typically audition in New York for each of the Theatre's large-scale musicals, and as many as 250 people audition for its plays.
"The local youth who are cast in in the Maltz Jupiter Theatre's productions experience the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work alongside renowned performers and learn from the best," Kato said. "It's an excellent chance for students to take part in the creative process and perform in a professional regional production."
The Theatre's First Step to Stardom audition day will take place at the Theatre starting at 9 a.m. on April 14. Participants will learn a simple dance combination and will be taught the song "Be Our Guest" from Disney Beauty and the Beast, which they will sing for the moderators. Students are asked to wear dance clothing (no sandals or open-toe shoes).
Because the Theatre's production of Disney Beauty and the Beast will utilize puppetry, children ages 8 – 9 auditioning for the role of Chip should bring a sock to use as a puppet during auditions. Students who have a headshot and resume should bring them, and there will be paperwork for parents and young adults to fill out before the audition. Participants are strongly encouraged to register online ahead of time to guarantee their audition spot.
The event comes at the heels of the success of the Theatre's large-scale "First Step to Stardom" events during the past eight seasons, which drew hundreds of children to the Theatre for auditions. Youth who auditioned last year performed roles in Born Yesterday, Disney Newsies The Musical, Hairspray and South Pacific.
To help students prepare, optional audition prep classes for children ages 8-9 will be offered on the following dates: Saturday, March 17, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.; Sunday, March 18, from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday, April 1, from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. For young adults ages 18-25, audition prep classes will be offered Saturday, March 31, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., and Sunday, April 8, from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. All will take place in the Theatre's Goldner Conservatory of Performing Arts. Cost is $28.50 per session, and participants are asked to wear dance clothing (no sandals or open-toe shoes).
While not required, the audition prep classes will teach students the dance combinations and vocal arrangements that will be used at the audition itself. For ages 8-9, this includes short vocal lines from the Disney Beauty and the Beast score, one line from the script and sock puppet improvisation. For ages 18-25, this includes an advanced musical theatre jazz combination as well as the audition's 16-bar cut of music from the song "Be Our Guest." Students can take one class or all that are offered. Students who participate in an audition prep class will have scheduled auditions at 9 a.m. on April 14 and will be considered for all productions that fit their age range.
The audition prep classes are completely optional. All students who audition on April 14 will be considered for all productions that fit their age range.
To register for the Theatre's annual First Step to Stardom audition day and for more information, visit www.jupitertheatre.org/fsts. To register for the audition prep classes, please call (561) 575-2672.
