James Michael "Jimmy" Bennett (* 9. Februar 1996 in Seal Beach, Kalifornien) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler.

Leben

Jimmy Bennetts erster Filmauftritt war die Nebenrolle des Flash/Tony in Der Kindergarten Daddy mit Eddie Murphy. 2004 spielte Bennett die Rolle des jungen Jeremiah in The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things – diese verstörende Jugendgeschichte feierte ihre Weltpremiere 2004 beim Filmfestivals in Cannes.

Mit Bruce Willis trat er als Tommy Smith in Hostage und neben Ryan Reynolds als Michael Lutz im Remake des Gruselklassikers The Amityville Horror auf. 2006 war er als Andy Stanfield in Firewall mit Harrison Ford und Virginia Madsen sowie als Conor James in Wolfgang Petersens Poseidon zu sehen.

2007 trat Bennett neben Steve Carell in Evan Allmächtig auf, die Fortsetzung des Kinohits Bruce Allmächtig. Bennett war dreimal für einen Young Artist Award nominiert, er erhielt den Preis 2005, neben anderen, für seinen Auftritt in Der Polarexpress. Jimmy Bennett hat 2009 in dem Film Orphan – Das Waisenkind mitgespielt. Von 2010 bis 2011 hatte er in der Science-Fiction-Fernsehserie My Superhero Family die Rolle des Jim Junior "JJ" Powell inne.

Vorwurf gegen Asia Argento wegen sexuellen Missbrauchs
Laut New York Times wurde zwischen Bennett und Asia Argento ein Vergleich über 380.000 Dollar geschlossen, nachdem Bennett den Vorwurf erhoben hatte, Argento habe ihn am 9. Mai 2013 sexuell missbraucht. Damals war er 17 Jahre alt. Bennett sagte, dass er sich nach der Begegnung "extrem verwirrt, gedemütigt und angewidert" fühlte. Sein Anwalt schrieb, dass Bennett in den Jahren nach dem Vorfall so traumatisiert war, dass seine Arbeitsleistung, sein Einkommen und seine geistige Gesundheit zurückgingen. Sie trafen sich zum ersten Mal, als Bennett Argentos Sohn in dem Film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things (2004) spielte, als Bennett sieben Jahre alt war.

Der Vorwurf des sexuellen Missbrauchs des damals 17 Jahre alten Schauspielers löste einen öffentlichen Diskurs aus: Argento hatte zuvor ihrerseits als eine der Hauptakteurinnen der MeToo-Bewegung mediale Aufmerksamkeit erlangt; sie war eine der ersten Schauspielerinnen, die Harvey Weinstein sexuellen Missbrauch vorwarf. Hauptsächlich wird ihr Heuchelei vorgeworfen. Auch die Aktivistenbewegung MeToo steht in der Kritik.

Winners of their last 2 games out of 3, the under 12 boys team looks to close out weekend #5 OBL games with a win against YNBA – Manalang. The game started really well for both teams, establishing points in the paint was the main focus. Toronto Lords gained a little momentum by outscoring the opponent in transition points, eventually pulling away in both period 3 and 4 to have a 5 point lead heading into the main break. Coach Cameron / Omar emphasized during the halftime break that no lead is never safe until the final buzzer. Improvement in defense, finding open players for quality shots were the keys to the game for the second half.
YNBA started hot in the 5th period and with their fast pace play, they went on a 16-0 run to take the lead midway through the 6th period. Lords couldn't buy a basket until Osiah Hutchinson hit a few three pointers to cut the lead to 3 points heading into the final period. Both teams traded baskets for the most part of the period as eagerly parents and fans embraced how tight the game was. It was a question on who would prevail in the end. With YNBA clinging to a 1 point lead with about 35 seconds in the game, it was going to come down to who can hold the ball and score timely baskets down the stretch. A few unexpected bounces here and there, Toronto Lords manage to get the basketball with about 20 seconds to go. Lords did get some opportunities at the basket but was unable to finish, however Zane Sikaneta was able to scrap for the loose ball and score as time expired. It was a shot that every boy could imagine, winning at the buzzer and sending a frenzy celebration in the stands.
The boys showed grit and determination to grind out a close game, this was a great way to complete a successful weekend.

Early every morning, in kitchens around the world, people prepare and pack lunches for themselves. It's actually not all that easy to do this because, for most of us, the smell of lunchmeat or pickles at 6:30 a.m. is pretty disgusting. Even the thought of such food that early in the morning can launch a gag reflex. But if you want a lunch to eat five-and-a-half hours later today, you're going to have to prepare for it before you're hungry.
When NASA prepares to launch a rocket to meet up with Mars or Saturn, the engineers don't aim their space crafts at the planet. They aim them where the celestial body will be by the time their module gets there.
And it's not unlike a quarterback throwing a pass to where his receiver will be by the time the ball arrives.
In business, and in life, this type of behavior is called strategic planning—doing something before you need to so when the need actually arises, you'll be ready. This takes discipline. It's thankless and immediately unrewarding work.
The task of being a good, strategic father is this: Do things for your children now, and cast a vision for them, not based on where your children are today, but based on where they're going to be. Make investments of discipline, tenderness, and instruction, not because your children will applaud your efforts today (They may even try to talk you out of this plan.), but because when they get to the future, they're going to need to cash in on the investment you've made today.
By the way, if this sounds like a lot of thankless work, remember Joseph's word to the Pharaoh who asked him for his advice: "I cannot do it . . . but God will . . ." (Genesis 41:16).

The year is now officially half over. With July 4th in the rearview mirror, we are now in the throes of summer, with the height of vacation season upon us. For most of us, our New Year's resolutions are now a distant memory, but that doesn't mean we can't still focus on self-improvement.
The summer is a great time to regroup and think about things you can do now to finish the year strong. Ideally, colleagues taking vacations and the pace slowing down at your firm mean that you will have time to take on a few new projects or reevaluate what you are doing now.
Here are five things you can do this summer to set yourself up for a great second half of the year.
Americans are known for their reluctance to take vacations. Depending on the study you read, the average American worker uses less than half of their allocated vacation time and only about one-quarter use all of it. Researchers have found that many workers feel they will be seen as less dedicated if they take a vacation and, unfortunately, some say the fear of being replaced holds them back. The research is clear, though – taking a vacation is good for your mental health as well as your productivity. A recent survey by the Society for Human Resource Management found that 75% of managers believe taking vacation time leads to improved performance and 78% of managers think it increases job satisfaction.
A vacation doesn't need to be costly. Even a staycation will do, but take some time to unplug from the office. If you want to learn more about the impact of taking time off, check out Project: Time Off's 2018 Report.
These lists include pleasure reading as well as work-focused titles. Reading of any kind helps expand your point of view and will expose you to new ways to present information.
I will admit, these are all work related, but they are interesting and timely.
Summer is a great time of year to dust off your crisis communication plan to make sure it still addresses the issues faced by your organization and reflects any staff and technology changes.
If you don't have a crisis communications plan, which was the case for about 50% of the attendees of a recent Jaffe-hosted webinar on "Getting Ahead of a PR Crisis," get to work and develop a plan! A crisis never calls ahead to let you know it's coming, and rarely happens when you have a clear schedule and your entire team is in the office. But some preparation can make the process easier to survive without business or reputational damage.
If you missed our webinar on crisis communications, don't worry – you can watch it on demand. If you need help getting started, take a look at our Crisis Communication Policy Template.
It is good to reflect on where you are relative to where you want to be (or thought you would be) at this point of the year. How are you doing on your marketing goals for the year? Are you where you thought you would be? If not, how can you change course and get back on track?
We all get busy, but it is essential to stay connected to your personal and professional networks even during slow times. Invite a colleague to lunch whom you haven't seen in awhile and take some time to get caught up. What about a former colleague who has moved on – have you checked in with him or her lately?
Your networks are invaluable, and you can't simply build them when you need them. You need to cultivate your networks all the time.
Peter Shankman makes a habit of trying to help others. He regularly posts the following on social media, "Another Monday has arrived, another chance to be freaking AWESOME! What amazing and exciting thing are you doing this week? More importantly, how can I help? Reach out to me at shankman.com and let me know!" Peter is a master networker and people-connector with an enviable contact list. He has built his network by focusing on helping others, not on what others can do to help him. Now, think about how you can help people in your network. Is there a connection that you can facilitate?
Summer is my favorite season. It brings lots of opportunity for time outside with friends and family – and to prepare for the rest of the year. I hope you get a chance to spend some time enjoying a break from the office with family and friends this summer and can come back rejuvenated and ready to finish the second half of 2018 strong.
What is something you do during the slower summer months? Send me a note at mmccormick@jaffepr.com to share how you use your summer free time, or tweet me @MichelleMcCorm. And if you read any of the books on the reading lists I mentioned, send me your review.

Spring is officially here. March 20 is the first day of spring, we've changed the clocks to daylight savings time, and Tax Day is in four weeks. This year, taxes are due on April 18.
As a business owner, this is a good time to take stock in your organization and determine future success. While you should always know where you are financially, this is an optimal time to consider the big picture and make sure your business "house" is in order. While you're gathering and organizing your information to file your taxes, take the time to reflect on how to best run your business so it is not only profitable for you each year but a possible lifetime investment.
2. Hire professionals. Using your cousin to do your taxes might save some money but is only a good idea if she's a CPA. The same goes for the person setting up your company. An attorney will set up your company properly as well as help you when other contracts and paperwork are needed. Having a "team" of professional working for you might sound expensive but could save you money in the long run. It will also provide a business owner with peace of mind.
3. Learn how to control costs and understand cash flow. Look for ways to reduce overhead and administrative costs. Also, know when your company's cash flow may fluctuate. Your business may experience seasonal sales swings that you can anticipate and plan for. Learning about options, such as barter, can also help you sell inventory, fill appointments, and save cash during those times.
4. Manage your taxes. Don't let small business taxes get the better of you. Make sure you meet deadlines, make payments in full, and stay ahead of quarterly taxes to avoid paying late fees and penalties.
5. Plan for succession. This is an important focus as businesses grow and mature. Someday, you might want to take a smaller role at your company but allow it to keep growing. Have an idea of who could run the company for you. If you don't have anyone currently, identify someone who could grow into the position or look to hire someone who meets those qualifications. This is also a good idea in case of illness, extended vacations, or emergency family situations.
Make the time to keep your finances organized to help your business run smoothly both now and in the future. Plan accordingly and your company could provide you with solid financial performance for many years to come.
Please remember: When dining out on barter, we require all clients leave at least an 18% cash tip. We want to be sure our restaurants are well taken care of so that we can continue to offer delicious food on trade! All of these restaurants accept the Barter Card!

Boy Scouts of America Considers Filing for Bankruptcy as Sexual Abuse Lawsuits Continue: Report
The Wall Street Journal reports that the organization is considering filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy and that the Boy Scouts have hired the Sidley Austin law firm

The Boy Scouts of America may file for bankruptcy.
On Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported that the organization is considering filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy and that the Boy Scouts group has hired the Sidley Austin law firm as it deliberates.
A Sidley Austin representative did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's requests for comment, but in a letter provided to PEOPLE, chief Scouts executive Michael B. Surbaugh addressed the group's "financial position."
"We have an important duty, and an incredible opportunity, to focus as an organization on keeping children safe, supported and protected, and preparing youth for their futures through our nation's foremost program of character development and values-based leadership training," Surbaugh said.

"To do so in perpetuity," he continued, "we are working with experts to explore all options available to ensure that the local and national programming of the Boy Scout of America continues uninterrupted."
The news follows years of allegations of sexual abuse within the organization. The Boy Scouts group has paid millions of dollars to law firms as it contends with the legal aftermath of the abuse allegations, The Wall Street Journal reported. Bankruptcy would halt the lawsuits and allow the organization to negotiate with plaintiffs.

Surbaugh discussed the abuse scandal in his letter. "We care deeply about all victims of child sex abuse and we are steadfast in our belief that one incident of child abuse is one too many," he said. "We sincerely apologize to anyone who was harmed during their time in our programs."

"As you all know, we have always taken care of victims — we believe them, we believe in fairly compensating them and we have paid for unlimited counseling, by a provider of their choice, regardless of the amount of time that has passed since an instance of abuse," Surbaugh continued. "Throughout our history we have taken proactive steps to help victims heal and prevent future abuse."
"I want to stress that at no time in our history have we knowingly allowed a sexual predator to work with youth, and we always seek to act swiftly when alerted to abuse allegations," he added.

Kansas Opens Season, Rock Chalk Park with 3-1 Win
Photo Gallery // Box Score (PDF) // Shot Chart
LAWRENCE, Kan. – Junior Liana Salazar helped Kansas open the 2014 season and christen Rock Chalk Park in grand fashion with a bicycle kick goal less than 90 seconds into a 3-1 victory over Wyoming Friday night. Salazar, freshman Lois Heuchan and Ashley Williams all tallied scores in the win. The Jayhawks (1-0) nearly shutout the Cowgirls (0-1) before a late goal in the 87th minute by Wyoming's Shelby Shorb.
"It was a great way to start the season, getting a win at our new facility," said head coach Mark Francis following the match. "I think getting in behind them was one of the keys for us today. We really stretched them out defensively and that created problems for them so it was nice to see the girls execute. They exposed some things that we did wrong but all-in-all it was a great performance and the girls should be happy with how they played tonight."
Playing under the lights at their state-of-the-art facility for the first time, the Jayhawks quickly made sure it would be a tall task for the visitors to spoil their opening night. KU put on the pressure early with Salazar slamming home her ninth-career goal off the crossbar in the second minute. The acrobatic score was made possible by a long cross into the box by sophomore Morgan Williams, which was then flicked on by freshman Eli Mayr. Salazar gave the ball one touch with her back to the goal and unwound for a bicycle kick that saw the ball deflect off the cross bar and in to give her team an early 1-0 lead.
KU continued its onslaught just over 16 minutes later when Williams found space up the right side of the attacking third. The Albuquerque, New Mexico native dribbled into the Cowgirl 18-yard box before sending a short, low cross across the face of goal. Heuchan was there to chip in the on-point pass and push her squad's lead to 2-0.
The two sides played even for the rest of the opening period, however the Jayhawks were the more dominant side on paper, holding possession for nearly 70 percent of the first half.

In the 50th minute, Williams gained possession and went on a 20-yard breakaway down the center of the field. Just before dribbling into the top of the Wyoming penalty box, she sent in a right-footed strike that leaped past the Wyoming keeper and just inside the left post. The goal, which was the 11th of Williams' career, put KU up 3-0 with just over 40 minutes still to play.
The pace of play remained largely unchanged over the rest of the match. Wyoming saw several chances but only one was put on frame, which was stopped by the KU keeper, Kaitlyn Stroud, for one of her four saves on the night.
Wyoming spoiled Stroud's shutout in the 87th minute with chip-in goal from the sophomore Shorb. KU held off a few frantic Cowgirl attempts in the waning seconds to earn the team's fifth opening-day victory in the last seven years and the first at Rock Chalk Park.
Heuchan, Williams and Salazar each led the squad with two shots apiece. Wyoming outshot the Jayhawks 14-11, with an 8-6 advantage in the second half, but KU drew level with the visitors with four shots on frame. Stroud picked up her 19th-career win between the posts for the Jayhawks.
Kansas will return to the Rock Chalk Park pitch on Sunday, Aug. 24 for a date with the SMU Mustangs. The Mustangs, who suffered a 4-0 loss to Nebraska in Lincoln on Friday night, will take the field against the Jayhawks for a 1 p.m., kickoff. The match will be televised by Time Warner Cable Sports Channel and ESPN3.com.

When we took a look at the original Ragdoll Blaster, we were quite impressed by the crafty blend of ragdoll physics, puzzler and hand-drawn, cannon-fed craziness. Backflip Studio has strapped on its helmet again in their second iteration of the series with Ragdoll Blaster 2 [App Store].
The sequel reveals a more polished title than the original, discarding the hand-drawn art and instead drawing heavily from the steampunk genre to create a rich game world of oiled cogs and shiny bronze contraptions. It is thanks to these machinations that the gameplay in Ragdoll Blaster 2 does vary a little to the original, if still sharing that same overall feel of blasting (and resetting) over and over again until you reach your target in as few shots as possible.
The new objects you'll come across include teleporters, additional cannons, objects that adversely affect gravity, ice blocks and mechanical arms to name a few, along with the expected array buttons, cogs and switches. All in all, levels feel more purposeful thanks to the new mechanics, and we're confident that the 150 levels that make up Ragdoll Blaster 2 will continue to be interesting (and undoubtedly difficult) and show the same attention to detail throughout as the ones we've played up to now.
Backflip Studios have also made the decision to incorporate the Plus+ platform in Ragdoll Blaster 2 to provide high scores for each of the nine 'rooms' which theme the levels. Both a Par score and Best score is displayed at the end of each room as a target to beat for those competitively inclined.
We're enjoying our time with Ragdoll Blaster 2, though it does still feel very familiar. Certainly, if you're a fan of the first title, we see no reason why you shouldn't thoroughly enjoy the new features on offer. (And if you haven't had a chance to try the first, we highly recommended it) Impressions from our readers are collecting in our discussion thread and to date seem largely positive.

Q: How can I adjust the CommandTImeout in DbFit for long running queries? Is there any way to increase the CommandTimeout for DbFit queries? I have a long running stored procedure that times out when running it in a DbFit Test.
It's possible for the procedure to run for a really long time (processing millions of records) and would like to have DbFit wait until it's completed, even if it takes several minutes.
We are using the latest version of FitSharp (downloaded it yesterday) and use the version of DbFit that is included with FitSharp.

A: In the next release there will be a commandtimeout option:

Zubin Mehta, Conductor Emeritus
For over half a century, Zubin Mehta has been an influential and beloved artistic leader for the LA Phil, inspiring our musicians and our audiences with his cultural commitment and community vision. The orchestra honored the Maestro with the title of Conductor Emeritus during its 2018/19 Centennial season.

In 1962, 26-year-old Zubin Mehta became the Los Angeles Philharmonic's seventh music director, serving until 1978, when he left to become music director of the New York Philharmonic. Mehta's tenure in Los Angeles saw such significant events as the 1964 move from Philharmonic Auditorium to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the new Music Center and marked a watershed in the orchestra's growth. Mehta appointed 86 musicians to the orchestra, which expanded to full-time employment. He recorded and toured extensively with the orchestra and has returned frequently as a guest conductor.
Zubin Mehta forged long-lasting and productive partnerships for the LA Phil with many of the world's greatest musical artists and increased the orchestra's involvement in many of our city's communities. We are delighted to take the opportunity of this Centennial season to honor his enormous historical accomplishment and to affirm his enduring role in our creative family.

Saluting Silly Songs – A Puzzle In Purple
April 9, 2015 May 16, 2019 by BG, posted in Boomers, Country, Music, Nostalgia, Oldies, Retirement, Saluting SIlly Songs, Seniors, Video
I don't think there's any doubt that "Purple People Eater" is a song that qualifies for our Saluting Silly Songs feature. In case you don't remember, it was a huge #1 record for singer/songwriter Sheb Wooley in 1958. But it's also been sort of misunderstood through the years, because the question arose: was the alien creature itself purple, or did it just go after purple people?
It's actually not much of a mystery, because the lyrics clearly have the alien saying that his main purpose is 'eating purple people' — but in spite of that, most of us remember the song as featuring a purple alien. And virtually all of the pictures and drawings – then and now – support that too. (Of course, the absence of real-life purple people might also have something to do with it.)
In any case, it was Wooley's biggest hit record by far, even though he was a pretty active country singer for someone whose main job was as an actor in Western movies and TV shows. Not surprisingly, his novelty song was initially rejected by the guys at his record company – MGM – because it was 'not the type of music' that they wanted to be on their label, but when the demo became a sensation in the company's offices it won them over.
Although Wooley's original record was the standard, the song has lived on in other ways — for one thing, it was the subject of a silly movie of the same name in 1988. As for other singers, it hasn't exactly been a popular choice through the years, but there have been a few. One of the most notable might have been Jimmy Buffett, who performed it on the soundtrack of the 1997 movie, Contact.

Les Howard says:
Sheb Wooley also had a parallel music career recording under the pseudonym 'Ben Colder'. He did a long string of parodies of hit country songs that started with 'Son Don't Go Near The Eskimos', a parody of the Rex Allen song 'Son Don't Go Near The Indians'.
Good info, Les. Thanks!
Speaking of Rex Allen, he was the subject of a previous GMC post.
Our high school's color in the small town where I grew up was purple (how did they come up with that?). Of course, when the song was a hit we copped it from other towns' school kids on sports days. Naturally, in the way of these things, we took it as our own as a matter of pride. After we had our own song – they didn't.
Sheb, of course, was one of the baddies in High Noon and one of the goodies in Rawhide.
Here's an odd coincidence: my high school was also purple-centric! The athletic teams were called 'the Purple Eagles' (and I was a football player), but I don't recall anyone mentioning the song in connection with us. Of course, I was pretty clueless in those days. . .still am for that matter.

Q: Allow OPTIONS HTTP method with Amazon S3 I am working with Amazon S3 on a HTML5 CORS file uploader. It's working well, but I have still a very strange thing which is happening.
Before the PUT request to send the file, the browser always sends an OPTIONS request, which fails with a 403 FORBIDDEN error code.
But the file is correctly transferred to S3 so what's happening ?
I tried to solve my problem by enabling all the HTTP methods, but it hasn't worked.
Here are the headers I am using for the PUT request:
AWSAccessKeyId:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Expires:1347882643
Signature:YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

And some code stuff :
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
// bind the event listener
xhr.upload.addEventListener("progress", progress_listener, false);
// open the XMLHttpRequest
xhr.open('PUT', signed_url, true);

// when the upload is completed call the callback function if supplied
xhr.onload = function(e) {
    if(typeof callback == "function") {
        callback(this.status == 200, file.name, file_id);
        confirm_upload_success(file_id);
    }
};

// start sending
xhr.send(file);

A: EDIT: This bug has been fixed by Amazon :-)
Carl@AWS / Sep 28, 2012 2:56 PM:

All,
This bug should now be fixed and using pre-signed url's with CORS will
  succeed.
Thanks,

The problem you describe is an Amazon bug: It turns out that S3 is currently authenticating the OPTION call that is made in "preflight" for CORS and that fails (probably because the auth has been signed with for a PUT request not an OPTION request).
It's already on their radar as you can see here: CORS works with public data, but fails to work with pre-signed request
Carl@AWS / Sep 5, 2012 1:00 PM:

Thank you, and everybody else, for the report. You are correct that
  pre-signed requests returning an error on the initial OPTIONS request.
  We are working on this issue and expect to add this support shortly. I
  don't have a timeline for the availability of the change but I will
  update this thread with more information when I have that. If you have
  any follow up questions let me know.

So just ignore it and they'll fix it.

SRA welcomes Ms Lindy Hyam to Board of Directors
Sugar Research Australia (SRA) has announced the appointment of one new Board member and the re-election of two existing Directors at its Annual General Meeting (AGM) today in Brisbane.
Ms Lindy Hyam joins the SRA Board of Directors, alongside Directors Dr Ron Swindells (Chairman), Mr Steve Guazzo, Dr Helen Garnett, Dr Guy Roth, Dr Ian Johnsson, and Mr Ian Sampson.
Mr Steve Guazzo and Dr Helen Garnett were re-elected to the Board at the AGM.
The Board recommendations were made by an independent Director Selection Committee (DSC), which was led by independent Chair Ms Kathryn Adams and included sugarcane milling representatives Mr John Pratt (Wilmar) and Mr Peter Gill (Mackay Sugar), and sugarcane growing representatives Mr Paul Schembri and Mr Allan Dingle. The recommendations of the DSC were accepted by SRA Members at the SRA AGM.
New Director, Ms Lindy Hyam, has extensive experience in agriculture and engagement across more than 40 established, new and emerging commercial plant-based and levy-paying industries and their research communities. This includes experience as a Director of the Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC).
SRA Chairman Dr Ron Swindells welcomed Ms Hyam to the SRA Board.
"Lindy Hyam has had 20 years of leadership experience at Board and CEO levels in the private and public sectors across urban and regional Australia and internationally with a diverse range of organisations of all sizes and governance structures," Dr Swindells said. "She has held many board roles across a range of disciplines in addition to agriculture including city leadership, health, airports, resources recovery, legal services, professional services, the environment and education.
"We welcome Lindy Hyam to the Board and look forward to working with her to deliver valued solutions for a growing sugarcane industry via SRA."
The Chairman also thanked outgoing Director Mr Mike Gilmour for his services to the Australian sugarcane industry through SRA since its inception.
"In particular, as Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee, Mr Gilmour has led the change process that led to marked improvements in the company's financial systems and financial reporting. I also thank him for input around the Board table on a variety of topics."

Thalberg was born in New York City of German immigrant parents. He had a bad heart and was plagued with other ailments all of his life.

In 1927 he married the actress Norma Shearer, whose career flourished as the wife of the most powerful and respected producer in Hollywood. They had two children; Irving, Jr. and Katherine.

One Minute Mysteries - Misterios de Un Minuto: Short Mysteries You Solve With Science! - ¡Más misterios cortos que resuelves con ciencias!


In a church that is struggling to hold on to its youth and having a hard time convincing young men to become priests, they have a great deal of incentive to hide these allegations to avoid both the bad publicity that comes with them, and the possible loss of members of their clergy. This must not be permitted to continue. The police MUST be notified if a priest is accused of molesting a child, or abusing anyone in any way. We've seen time and time again that the church can't be trusted to investigate these people and remove them from positions of authority. They tend to simply move them to a different diocese where these people fall into the same patterns of abuse, and more children are hurt. If you're Catholic, it's high time you questioned your church's hierarchy. Are they interested in your well being, or merely in maintaining their positions of power? Based on this decision, which one makes sense?
The supposed miracle of transubstantiation, when the communion wafer is believed to literally become Jesus' body and the wine his blood, is a mystery. Calling it a mystery is also supposed to explain why that's a miracle–even though the wine still looks and tastes like whatever Fr. Peter always buys, and the wafer still looks and tastes like cardboard.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church claims that Jesus' whole life is a mystery!
In other words, not only are humans currently incapable of understanding mysteries of the Catholic faith–they can never understand them. A mystery "lies above the finite intelligence," [of humans]. Over time, I came to understand that a mystery in the religious sense was something I would never learn no matter how hard I tried. So when someone–a parent, a religious education teacher, a friend's parent–told me something was a mystery, I naively accepted that explanation.
As an adult atheist, those explanations of "It's a mystery of our faith," seem so convenient. Of course the complicated or particularly crazy doctrines are "mysteries!" That way, no one has to explain them. Except of course to just say that those are the Catholic beliefs. One must be able to picture Saint Patrick using a shamrock to explain the trinity, understanding the concept of the ridiculous belief itself, all the while simultaneously accepting that HOW there can be one god in three persons is a mystery.
The convenient doctrine of the mystery leaves me all the more convinced that more likely than not, some human beings many many years ago wrote a story. And a religion began out of that story, and people who loved power emerged as that religion's leaders, building rules like this into the faith to keep people from questioning their authority. It makes a lot of sense. Way more sense than talking animals, Noah's ark, and a virgin birth.
Do any of you have experiences relating to the doctrine of mysteries? Do other denominations emphasize them as much as Catholics do? I'm curious. Feel free to leave a comment. All opinions are welcome. Just be respectful and think things through before posting.

Nicola Sturgeon to launch summer independence offensive
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon plans to restart the debate about Scottish independence. Picture: Andrew Milligan/PA Wire
Tom Peterkin
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has announced a summer independence offensive, with the SNP hosting a series of National Assemblies to promote its economic blueprint for leaving the UK.
The SNP leader made the announcement as one of her key lieutenants admitted he was unable to say what currency Scotland would be using over the next ten to 15 years.
Economy secretary Keith Brown made the admission just before Ms Sturgeon last night finally received the report commissioned by the SNP to make the economic case for independence.
READ MORE: Mark Carney: Independent Scotland currency union 'economically possible'
The 354-page report by the SNP's Growth Commission, chaired by former SNP MSP Andrew Wilson, will be published on Friday.
Titled Scotland – The New Case for Optimism: A Strategy for Inter-generational Economic Renaissance, it will look at growth, public finances and currency in an independent Scotland.
READ MORE: Scottish independence: New Scots currency plan if Yes wins new vote
Over the summer each section of the report will be discussed by SNP National Assemblies, chaired by whoever is elected party depute leader. As front-runner in the SNP depute contest, Mr Brown is likely to end up in that role.
But yesterday he found himself under fire when he suggested Scotland could ditch the pound, while admitting he was not an expert on currency.
Appearing in front of Holyrood's economy committee, Mr Brown was asked by Conservative MSP Dean Lockhart to confirm whether the new Scottish National Investment Bank would use sterling over the next ten to 15 years.
Mr Brown said the decision would not be for him to make.
He said: "I think that would be the person that's got the job of trying to establish certainty going forward to a 15-year period – nobody else can do that. Who knows what changes are going to happen over the course of that time? That's the currency they're going to work in, sure, when they're started, but beyond that who can say? I certainly can't. I'm not a currency expert."
Mr Lockhart said: "This is extraordinary stuff. The Scottish National Investment Bank has been promoted by the SNP to provide long-term stable funding for the Scottish economy. However, even before the bank has been formally launched, the SNP's obsession with independence has raised massive question marks over its future viability.
"If the man in charge of the economy can't tell us what currency the bank will use in the future, what chance will it have to provide the stability that the Scottish economy so badly needs?"
The report will be debated by the SNP National Assemblies and its recommendations will be discussed ahead of the party's autumn conference.
Ms Sturgeon said: "The report of the Growth Commission does not shy away from Scotland's challenges.
"Instead it looks at how we can address these challenges positively and in line with our core values as a nation … it focuses on the 'why' of independence and how we can use the powers it will deliver to build a stronger economy and a fairer society.
"In so doing, it heralds the start of a debate based on hope and ambition about the future of the country, rather than on the despair of Brexit."
Mr Wilson said: "There is much cause for optimism in Scotland's position and it is my sincere hope that the report generates serious and informed debate."

View all 17 Bubsy 3D Screenshots
One of the most popular titles from the days of the 16 bit machine has jumped into the 32 bit arena. Bubsy 3D takes our friend Bubsy and throws him into a huge, 3D world. Could this mean the end of 2D platform games that we all love?
For those of you unfamiliar with Bubsy, let's just say he is a cat with a major attitude. Bubsy always manages to get himself in some sort of a bind. Bubsy 3D is no exception. The story goes a little something like this. You play Bubsy and you're trapped on a strange alien world. Like any normal cat, all you want to do is go home. No problem. Just fight your way through 16 levels and collect all 32 pieces of your rocket ship and you are home free. To help you in your quest, a number of items lie scattered around just begging to be found.
Open up a can of catnip, sit back, relax and read on to see if Bubsy 3D will be responsible for a new level of platform games or if you should grab this one by the scruff of the neck and throw it out the front door.
Bubsy 3D is set in a huge, 3D, alien world. Your kitty talents include running, jumping, swimming, shooting and flying. Your job is to use these skills to guide Bubsy through the world, collecting atoms, extra lives and pieces of your rocketship.
Bubsy has 16 unique levels that get progressively more difficult. The first level is simple and is basically there to give you a chance to get used to the controls of the game. We will get into this a little later. This game has a very unique perspective that reminds me of Jumping Flash. A lot of the action takes place on platforms high in the air (as Bubsy says, "What would a platform game be without platforms?"). Bubsy has total freedom to explore any area of each level. There are direction arrows that point you to the exit, but you can still explore every nook, cranny, and platform.
Of course, we could not be allowed to just prance around the levels without any opposition, could we? Bubsy 3D has its fair share of baddies to keep you from reaching the end. The enemies are disposed of in different ways, depending on which enemy you are facing. Some can be jumped on while others must be shot, and there are some enemies best left alone.
Bubsy 3D also has a two-player mode which is best described as tag. The object of the two-player mode is for one player to control Bubsy and try to gather as many atoms as possible. The second player is armed with a tag gun and charged with the task of shooting Bubsy with the gun. Once this happens, player two takes over control of Bubsy and player one starts shooting. This is pretty fun and a nice touch to allow others to join in instead of sitting and watching the whole time.
Now, earlier, I mentioned the controls. This is the one disappointing aspect of Bubsy 3D. The controls are very awkward. It's difficult to do anything fast. If you want to go back, you must stop, turn 180 degrees, then go. You are probably thinking "Yeah, so?" Well, this takes about 1-2 seconds to do. When you have things being shot at you and enemies trying to get you, 1-2 seconds is a long time. This also makes shooting atoms at the enemies difficult. You are allowed only a short time to grab, aim and shoot. If the enemy is behind you, forget it. The atom will explode in your hands every time. Platform games require precise actions and split-second decisions. _Bubsy 3D's _controls are very prohibitive to this type of gameplay.
The graphics of Bubsy are very bright and vivid. Instead of going for extensively detailed and texture-mapped backgrounds, Bubsy uses blocky, but very colorful backgrounds. Where the graphics shine is in the cartoon look that all of the characters have. At times, you almost feel like someone turned on the Cartoon Network when you weren't looking. All in all, the graphics are one of the high spots.
The audio is adequate but Bubsy's voice doesn't quite fit. After a while, I found that his sayings -- intended to be funny -- combined with a voice that doesn't match, started to get a bit annoying.
Bubsy 3D had tremendous potential to give Crash Bandicoot a run for its money, but the tedious controls took care of any chance of this being a great game. The graphics are neat and the worlds are vast and take some time to explore, so the game is not bad. Once you get used to the controls, it is not quite as painful. I found myself getting into the game but doing something I didn't mean to once in a while because of the controls. One word of warning, if you have little ones that like to play this type of game, rent it first. They may become too frustrated with learning the controls and give up. So is this the end of 2D games? Not yet. I think that 3D platform games will get there, but for now, I'll stick to Rayman.

Bubsy. One of the more recognizable characters in the gaming biz will be jumping on the bandwagon of bringing two-dimensional platform games into a third dimension.
Bubsy 3D has been a long time in the waiting. It was one of the first mascot games that was announced for the 32-Bit systems. At that time, the industry was abuzz with xcitement over three-dimen-ional play. Now that the project is nearing completion, Bubsy 3D is preparing to be released into a sea of hot competition, like Mario 64, Sonic Extreme and Crash Bandicoot. Luckily, Bubsy has a bit of name recognition (thanks to its original 16-Bit little brother) that can help it stand out in the masses.
So what is the bobcat up to? It seems that the evil aliens, Woolies, want to take over Earth. Bubsy is the only thing standing in their way. So the Woolies fly to Earth and capture Bubsy as part of their grand plan to invade an obstacle-free planet.
On the way back home, the Woolies crash land on their planet Rayon, freeing Bubsy in the process. The game starts here, as he tries to find a way home. Bubsy's goal is to find enough pieces of a rocket ship and enough fuel (represented by atom symbols) so that he may build his interstellar ride home.
The levels are as varied as they are colorful, though texture mapping was sacrificed in favor of larger 3-D worlds. You can even find a couple of underwater levels, something that seems almost required for a game of this genre, but looks nice anyway.
The game's animation and sounds are reminiscent of a Warner Bros, cartoon. In fact, a news release by Accolade flat-out compares the two. Accolade also boasts that, "...Bubsy 3D's creative design and high level of technical innovation will lead the industry." That's a pretty big call to make considering the stiff competition. Will Bubsy 3D retain its popularity and pleasant disposition while facing cute plumbers and hedgehogs? We'll see this fall.

DIFFICULTY - Easy
THEME - Action
NUMBER OF PLAYERS - 1 or 2
In this day and age of 32- and 64-Bit systems, characters from the past are making the jump from 2-D to 3-D. Accolade's third Bubsy game puts the infamous defender of yarn into a new dimension, with stunning results.
If you've played Accolade's previous Bubsy games, then you know what to expect from this one. The mischievous Woolies are back, and they have been scheming to get Bubsy for a while. He was captured, and while on the way to the Woolies' home planet of Rayon the ship crashed, Bubsy escaped. Loose on the Woolies home turf, Bubsy smashes onto the scene to kick some yarn.
Eidetic, the developers of this third installment of the series, have created a game which incorporates both flat-shaded and texture-mapped polygons. Hand-drawn graphics complement the look and feel of the game.
Gamers familiar with Jumping Flash! on the PlayStation will recognize much of Bubsy 3D's control. When Bubsy walks around the game environment, the view is from behind our furry pal. When Bubsy jumps, the view switches to top-down, which takes some getting used to, but becomes natural with practice.
The view is somewhat inhibiting, because sometimes polygon obstacles get in the way. There is a way to make Bubsy look up or down, and look around the huge worlds, but often portions of the levels will be out of view. This adds to the challenge of exploring the huge game.
Bubsy's level design is original, with enough variation from level to level to keep the game interesting. The themed levels have names like "Bright Lights Big Woolies" (a play on a Michael J. Fox movie title), and other, more obscure movie references like "Das Bobcat." The levels are big, each with its own goals and enemies. Checkpoints will break up the action, so that if you die three-fourths of the way through a level, you won't have to start at the beginning of the level each time.
Added to the mix in his new environment are underwater-based levels, very reminiscent of those that can be found in Mario 64. Without analog control, buttons must be used to control the up and down swimming motions necessary, but those too, come with practice.
What would a Bubsy game be without elaborate death scenes? Ever since the first game, Bubsy's death sequences have always been original. This time around, the ways he dies include being melted, being chomped up by a treasure chest and being broken into several hundred pieces. Plus, at the end of each level, you'll get a cool Ending Cinema Screen that uses rendered artwork just like in the game's intro. The scenes usually star the Woolies beating up poor Bubsy. The rendered sequences show off more of the Bubsy/Woolie conflict
The music in Bubsy's third adventure sounds as if it came right out of a Saturday-morning cartoon. Then again, Bubsy's no stranger to the world of animation, having had a Thanksgiving special a few years back when his 16-Bit adventures were on the market. Bubsy's voice accompanies much of the gameplay, with sarcastic remarks, hints, tips and other quips that are fun to listen to. although the option to turn them off will serve some gamers well.
Accolade's third Bubsy installment should prove to be a worthy contender in days where original games are few and far between. Combining elements seen in both 2-D and 3-D play, Bubsy 3D climbs back to the top of the yarn ball. Gamers looking for 3-D action should check it out!
Accolade's award-winning mascot cat, Bubsy, takes a trip into the third dimension on the Sony PlayStation with the company's latest debut at the Winter CES.
Bubsy uses his swagger and wisecracking humor while blasting through space world of tongue-in-cheek antics and cartoon pitfalls.
The technical aspects of Bubsy 3D feature true 3-D hand-rendered animations with thousands of frames of animation per character, all set in computer-generated environments. Bubsy can move in full 360-degree rotation, allowing a full range of vision and directional movement.
Five worlds await exploration, not to mention the number of secret scenes, hidden jokes and surprises. Some of the stages allow you to fight underwater in the Major Domo sunken cities, spin through jet tube subways and journey through the SpectaKill countryside.
The game also features two-player alternating and cooperative play. Bubsy 3D has the option whereby the first player can fight his way through the stage then give way to player two to see how he or she can do in terms of time and collecting all of the game-related goodies you find along the way. The backgrounds are astounding and new foes are ready to greet you or beat you at every turn. The music is incredible, too.
Bubsy 3D pulls out all the stops in this latest release for the PlayStation, using all of the system's power to bring players a complex game. Could we see Bubsy on the Ultra 64 next year? Who knows?
That wiseguy 16-bit bobcat is making an impressive jump to both 32-bit systems. Mike Berlyn, the designer of the first Bubsy (not the lamentable sequel) has created an interactive 3D world that looks and sounds like colorful "Road Runnerr" cartoons and plays a little like Jumping Flash. The two-player platform-jumping action covers 16 levels, 14 bonus rounds, and tons of imaginative warps to hidden areas. Bubsy jumps across elevated platforms, swims, flies a nifty jet, and spouts over 150 of his trademark wisecracks. The Saturn version, due in December, will be compatible with Sega's analog controller (see "GamePro Labs," October) for sharper 3D motion.
Bubsy, a longtime veteran of 16-bit, jumps into 32-bit action with Bubsy 3D. Stranded on an alien planet, you must run, swim, jump, and shoot your way through 16 bizarre levels of 3D terrain, while trying to find pieces of a rocket ship to build a ride back to Earth. In the era of Crash Bandicoot, however, Bubsy's 3D environment doesn't seem as fast moving or as lushly rendered. The graphics are rather stiff, and each level seems simplistic and barren, Bubsy fans should rent this game to see him in 3D, but action fans may find Crash more their speed.
ProTips:
The charged atoms shoot accurately so avoid standing too close to alien targets.
Airtanks are refilled after time and may be revisited for additional fillups.
Despite creating a working 3D environment, the color palette used for characters and level renderings is rather flat. An uncontrollable camera perspective sometimes hinders gameplay.
The fully orchestrated soundtrack isn't adequately reinforced by entertaining sound or voice effects. Though the "Bubsyisms" are clever, his squeaky voice quickly becomes annoying.
Except for the lack of control over the camera perspective in the 3D evironment, the controls are smooth and easy to learn.
Fun Factor
Although Bubsy features 16 levels, its gameplay becomes repetitive and predictable due to the stiff graphics. The two-player tag mode is innovative and worth a look.
Frantic fishy fun for our freaky feline friend.That's enough "f"s for now.
Remember that feisty little furball Bubsy? That mascot wannabe for the Genesis has finally found a home on 32-bit.This smartlooking platform game for the PlayStation incorporates many elements that the much-anticipated Ultra Mario will have on the Ultra 64.
Not having played the game, it's unclear to me whether or not the developers of this game have learned anything from Bug!, the firsc of the 3-D platform games, which had little merit or play value. What is clear, by looking at the screen shots, is that Bubsy has enough graphic pizzazz and mirth to keep even the orneriest of gamers happy.
Rumor has it that one scene in the game has Bubsy captured by Mary K cosmetic scientists, who then test an assortment of new eye-liners on our fuzzy friend. Don't worry though kids, because the boys at Accolade insist that no Bubsies were hurt in the making of this game. It's good to see that some companies don't take part in experimental testing on mascots, unlike others in the industry.

My 15 year old son ran away a couple of days ago. I reported him as a runaway to the police. I know he is in the area that we live in but I don't know exactly where to find him. He has turned off all locations from his phone/apps. I have also posted on different neighborhood groups that I am on on FB. He finally reached out and said he was ok he just doesn't want to come home. I'm at a complete loss right now.
Thank you for reaching out. It must be really stressful and hurtful to have your son tell you he doesn't want to come home. It sounds like you've already filed a police report, which is a good step. Outside of legal issues, it could help to try and open up the lines of communication with your son without necessarily asking that he come home at first; parents often do this through social media like facebook, Instagram, etc. We encourage you to pass our number onto your son, as we do offer services like message delivery and conflict mediation that might be able to help you both communicate.
A resource that you might find helpful is Team HOPE, which is a support line for parents who have been in similar situations. Their number is 1-866-305-4673.

Q: Change selected option in select I want to change selected option in select after click on button
view.html file
<select class="language-selector">

  value="{{language.shortName}}" >{{language.languageName}}</option>
</select>

<button (click)="changeLanguage()">PL-EN</button>

}

changeLanguage(){
    //code that will change the selected option in selectbox
}

It is possible make this in Angular?
I try do something like this:
changeLanguage(@Inject(DOCUMENT) document:Document){
    document.getElementById("asda").value("Polski");
}

But i got error: Property 'value' does not exist on type 'HTMLElement'

A: You could use the ngModel directive to update the value (either from the UI, or from the .ts file):
<select class="language-selector" [(ngModel)]="selectedLanguage">
  <option *ngFor="let language of outputLanguageList"
  value="{{language.shortName}}" >{{language.languageName}}</option>
</select>

<button (click)="changeLanguage()">PL-EN</button>

In the .ts file you need to declare the selectedLanguage property and give it an initial value:
public selectedLanguage: string | null = null;

In your changeLanguageMethod you only need this:
changeLanguage(){
  this.selectedLanguage = "Polski";
}

The rest of your code can stay as it is.

2019 Ellys
Members of local and regional community theater were honored at the 37th annual Elly Awards, sponsored by the Sacramento Area Regional Theatre Alliance (SARTA), Sacramento's answer to Broadway's Tonys. Because of the number of awards, there were two ceremonies: the Youth Awards on Sept. 8 at Cosumnes Oaks High School Performing Arts Center in Elk Grove and the Adult Awards on Sept. 22 at The Center in Sacramento.
Nominated for 42 awards, the Woodland Opera House picked up 10, including two Adult Awards.
Lenore Sebastian received the award for best Supporting Female in the Musicals category, for her role as Maggie Jones in Woodland's highly acclaimed "42nd Street."
"It was pretty shocking," Sebastian said. "I seriously had no expectations. The last Elly I won was for "Candide" in 1990!" She added, "I was thrilled for Opera House because sometimes the Ellys seem to ignore Yolo County. Half of the people I talked with at the ceremony had no idea the Woodland Opera House even existed."
Choreographer Staci Arriaga also received an award for her work in that show. Arriaga had also been nominated for her choreography in the Children's Theatre Production of "Annabelle Broom."
Woodland's also received six Youth Awards, mostly in the Children's Theatre Productions category (theater performed by all ages for children).
"Rumpelstiltskin, the Game of the Name" took home five awards, including Ania Mieszkowski for Choreography, Marcia Gollober as Leading Female (adult), Barrett Shepherd as Supporting Male (adult) and James Glica-Hernandez for Musical Direction for this world premiere. Craig Vincent tied for best Lighting Design,
Glica-Hernandez said, "As satisfied as we are at Woodland Opera House to be recognized with SARTA'S Elly Awards, our cast, designers and directors were delighted to work on the original script for 'Rumpelstiltskin, the Game of the Name.' Creating a world premiere is an unforgettable experience for all of us. Playwright Catherine Hurd and composer Vatrena King gave us a marvelous piece upon which we could build."
"Annabelle Broom, the Unhappy Witch" received two awards, one to Veronica Gersalia for Makeup Design and one to Denise Miles for Costume Design.
Joey Vincent picked up an award for Set Design for "The Cat in the Hat."
Davis Musical Theatre Company's Amaralyn Ewey won the award for Supporting Female in the Youth Theatre Productions category (theater performed by youth actors) for her role as Ursula, in Disney's "The Little Mermaid Jr."
"I never thought I'd actually win an Elly!" she exclaimed. "Ursula was such a horrifically fun role!"
Amaralyn actually had a mega dose of "The Little Mermaid." When her father, cast as Sebastian in the main stage version of the show, suffered an injury, she stepped in and after only three rehearsals did that role for 12 performances, before starting the Young Performers' Theatre version of it as Ursula.
Named for Eleanor McClatchy, a devoted patron of the arts, the Elly Awards celebrates excellence in Sacramento regional theater.
SARTA's mission is to promote high-quality theater in the Sacramento area and neighboring regions. When combined with the opportunity to provide quality entertainment and formal recognition of those in the performing arts, SARTA and the Sacramento community benefit.
Currently, SARTA membership includes approximately 100 theaters, more than 400 individual members and 30 media agencies. In addition to the Elly Awards program, SARTA sponsors headshot days, fall and spring general auditions, a weekly electronic update for those last-minute auditions and casting calls and a monthly electronic TheatreLetter featuring auditions, classified ads, workshops and performance information for theaters and individual artists in the greater Sacramento region.

A Stand-Up Guy
Any would-be stand up comedian would do well to get to the B Street Theater and watch Jack Gallagher's "A Stand Up Guy."
Gallagher, the three-time Emmy award winner, host of various TV shows, and Tonight Show with Johnny Carson comic (his favorite gig) has appeared in several movies and has lived his life's dream since he was 10 years of age, for the past 41 years.
Now in a show written by Gallagher and son playwright/actor Declan Gallagher (who appears briefly in an hilarious piece about the grammatical uses of the f-word) the stand up comedian and story teller explains how he did it...and how this Fall River, Massachusetts native ended up making Sacramento his home and becoming one of its biggest entertainment assets.
Put very briefly, it's by always doing the very best he could no matter what the job. It also helps if you have the kind of supportive wife Gallagher has in Jean Ellen, to whom he has been married since 1980.
But the path to B Street (for which he has now written 8 different shows) was a rocky one, to put it mildly. While Gallagher is a comedian, he is more a story teller than a joke teller. He can tell a story that will keep you mesmerized (check his You Tube video "Letters to Declan," the first of his one-man shows), but as popular as he may have been, the fact that he didn't tell zippy jokes that brought audience applause every minute kept him off Carson's "Tonight Show" through four auditions, for example.
His career has been a series of ups and downs, sometimes leaving him without an income entirely. But he never gave up, and Jean Ellen never gave up believing in him. Soon the ups were higher and the lows not quite as low.
The script of this show was shaped by the calendars he kept throughout his career ("in case I'm ever nominated to the Supreme Court," he quips – his one political joke). There were times when he was performing a show in the early afternoon in one state, and another at night in a different one...for weeks at a time.
But the work paid off and the gigs started to get more serious. He nearly had his own sitcom, until the network pulled it for reasons which had nothing to do with Gallagher, but merely left him without work again.
In 1983, he was offered a job in Sacramento. He was promised that he was going to be a Big Star on KCRA. He and Jean weren't sure they wanted to move to Sacramento, but at the time they were living in Los Angeles and hated it. Sacramento, with its trees and older houses, reminded them of Massachusetts, so they gave it a try.
The show only lasted 9 months before it was canceled, but by this time, Gallagher was less frantic about his career and happy in Sacramento. He had appeared in concert with Dolly Parton, The Four Tops and Tony Bennett, had a recurring role on the HBO series "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and appeared in a couple of movies, including "Heartbreak Ridge," with Clint Eastwood. He began writing shows for B Street.
Now he's decided it is time to tell his story, from his first joke (on the golf course with his father when he was 10) through his 15 years of averaging 35 weeks a year on the road, to moving to television, to Sacramento, where he is now, happily living with his family and trying to figure out ways to stay off the road.
I've been a fan of Jack Gallagher ever since I saw him do Crystal ice cream commercials a long time ago. I've seen several of his one-man shows. Each one is quite different from the last, but I've never left the theater without smiling and raving about how wonderful it was.
"A Stand Up Guy" joins the list of other exceptional Jack Gallagher performances I have seen. And his brief salute to the old B Street theater brought laughter and applause.

There is something exciting happening to local community theater. It seems that the line between "community theater" and "professional theater" is much thinner these days than it has been.
First, there was the spectacular "Mamma Mia" at Davis Musical Theater Company and now we have "Newsies" at the Woodland Opera House. Community theaters may not have the budget for flashy sets and costumes, but when it comes to direction, musical direction, choreography and acting, what our community theaters offer is on a real par with the big boys.
"Newsies," directed by Crissi Cairns, with musical direction by Jia-Min Rosendale, vocal direction by James Glica-Hernandez and choreography by Jacob Gutierrez Montoya is the Disneyfied version of the true story of the 1899 newsboy strike in New York, and shows how the passion of one person can make a difference in the world.
At the turn of the 20th century, some 10,000 boys sold newspapers on the streets of New York, many of them orphaned and homeless. The boys paid to get the newspapers, and if they did not sell, the publishers would not buy them back.
During the Spanish-American war, when the desire for news was high, the publishers raised the price charged to the boys from 50 cents per hundred to 60 cents per hundred. But at the end of the war, when the interest dropped, publishers Pulitzer and Hearst did not reduce the price the boys paid, even though other publishers did. The boys demanded a return to the price that their peers at other papers were paying.
Under the leadership of a 15-year-old boy named Kid Blink, the "newsies" organized, held massive outdoor meetings and after two weeks, the publishers and the newsies compromised — they would keep the higher price, but would buy back any unsold papers. The stand-off was considered a major step in the child-labor movement.
It is often difficult to fill male roles in community theater, but the 35 member cast is definitely male-heavy and those men are incredibly talented. Each of their five high-energy dances was a show stopper and the audience is treated to everything from tap to acrobatics.
The character of Kid Blink is now named Jack Kelly (Casey Camacho). He's also an older teen now, so a love interest can be written into the story.
It's a physically exhausting role, which the talented singer and dancer takes in stride. Kelly struggles with the rights of his fellow newsies and the possible repercussions by the newspaper magnates. He wants to have enough money to move to Santa Fe and is tempted by bribes to give up the fight for fairness.
As Joseph Pulitzer, Rodger McDonald is wonderful as the cold, heartless publisher who cares only about money and has no empathy for the kids.
Jack's best friend is Crutchie (Collin Robinson-Burmester), the disabled newsie with a positive attitude who becomes the heart of the show. (Collin's brother Bailey appears as one of the newsies and his father, Stephen, making his theatrical debut, has two smaller roles). He becomes perfect victim for the goons of the publishers trying to squelch the boys.
Making her opera house debut is Grace Leekley as Katherine Plumber, an inexperienced reporter who becomes interested in the David vs. Goliath struggle of the newsies and manages to give them the publicity they need to make their voices heard. She has a lovely soprano voice and has a great solo in "Watch What Happens," and a beautiful duet ("Something to Believe in") with Jack. This is Leekley's first musical in six years and one hopes her success in this role will encourage her to step back on stage regularly again.
Elio Gutierrez is Davey and DJ Michel is his younger brother Les. They are new to the newspaper delivery business and are amazed to learn that many of their colleagues have no mothers or fathers. Crutchie is amazed to learn that Davey and Les go home to a mother who is a "good cook."
"Newsies" focuses on the atrocities of child labor and poverty, but also shows the power of those who stand together for what is right. The Woodland Opera House production is outstanding.

"Mamma Mia," now in its 21st year, was groundbreaking. The popularity of this "jukebox musical" based on the music of ABBA sparked a raft of similar musicals featuring the music of other musicians — like "Jerseys Boys" (music of The Four Seasons), "Beautiful" (Carol King), "Ain't Too Proud" (The Temptations) and dozens of others. The stories are sometimes contrived in order to fit in as many songs by the featured musicians as possible.
"Mamma Mia" appears to be having renewed popularity. There have been several productions of it in the Bay Area and at least three in the Sacramento area in the last couple of months. And now a joyous production has opened on the Davis Musical Theatre Company stage.
Directed by Steve Isaacson, with choreography by Kyle Jackson and a cast of 40, this production is spectacular. (Never let it be said one cannot dance in swim fins!)
In 1999, Catherine Johnson decided to take 22 of the best-known ABBA songs (written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus) and weave a story around the lyrics. Even if you think you don't really know ABBA music, you'll be surprised at how many tunes you'll recognize — and if you are an ABBA fan this is a must-see show.
The story centers around single mother Donna Sheridan (Andrea Eve Thorpe) raising her daughter Sophie (Abby Lambert) on the Greek island where Sophie was conceived, the product of a liaison with one of three men. Donna has built herself a successful taverna and has no need of a man in her life.
But Sophie is about to be married to Sky (Kyle Jackson) and she wants her real father to give her away. Having snooped through Donna's diary, she invites three men — Harry Bright (AJ Rooney), Bill Austin (David Muerle) and Sam Carmichael (Tate Pollock), all of whom had relations with Donna around the time of Sophie's conception — to her wedding, unbeknownst to Donna. The men all arrive, thinking Donna has invited them. Sophie wants her real father to walk her down the aisle.
Also attending the wedding are Donna's two friends, her back-up singers when the three were Donna and the Dynamos. Tanya (Laura M. Smith) and Rosie (Kasper Cummins) are delightful comediennes, and those costumes were great fun.
(The program gives an ABBA fun fact about those marvelous costumes. They were an easy way to save on the group's tax bill. ABBA exploited a Swedish law which meant clothes were tax deductible if their owners could prove they were not used for daily wear.)
Andrea Thorpe gives a powerful performance as Donna and gets cheers for her very emotional "The Winner Takes it All."
As Sophie, Abby Lambert is winsome and engaging, as is her fiancé Sky (Kyle Jackson), whose short shorts make him look leggy and somehow younger than he really is.
The three possible fathers are fun. Harry's (Rooney) secret is suggested in his various costume changes. Bill (Muerle) is the adventurer, the first to accept Sophie as his daughter, while his duet with Rosie (Cummins) is great. Sam (Pollock) is the love of Donna's life and, despite a marriage and children of his own, is obviously still in love with her.
Everyone in the show learns something about themselves and the wedding itself, though not quite as planned, is worth the two-act wait.
The three "bows" numbers — tacked on at the end because there was no place in the plot to put them — are great fun and have the audience standing and waving their arms along with the cast.
Do I recommend this production? Of course I do, I do, I do, I do, I do.
