368 Hikes
The Enchantments
Parking Restriction: Parking allowed at trailheads and only on the right side of Road 7601 between Eightmile Lake and Stuart Lake trailheads. Parking anywhere else along Road 7601 is not allowed.
The Enchantment Lakes are an alpine wonderland of pristine lakes set among polished granite, soaring peaks, blazing larches, and ambling mountain goats. Widely regarded as the crown jewel of hiking in Washington, this trail exceeds even the wildest of superlatives.
Little Mashel Falls - Pack Forest
Three waterfalls, multiple viewing areas, and two different trailheads provide great choices for an excursion to Little Mashel Falls. The tallest waterfall plunges over 90 feet.
Aasgard Pass
This "shortcut" to the Enchantments Core Zone refers only to mileage. As far as miles per hour goes, Aasgard may be one of the slowest hikes you attempt. Achieving the pass is a thigh-burning, chest-bursting, eye-popping endeavor that offers as many extraordinary views as beads of sweat that will fall from your brow as you ascend nearly 2000 feet in just three-quarters of a mile.
Horseshoe Lake
A couple miles beyond Lake Stuart and a few hundred feet up lies Horseshoe Lake--a stunning, silent lake that makes for an excellent day trip for those lucky folks who get to camp at Lake Stuart. It's also attainable as a day hike, but you'll want to get an early start.
Snow Lakes
The Snow Lakes trail is known mostly as the long, gradual way into the Enchantments; but it is a worthwhile - if deceptively grueling - destination in its own right. The narrow isthmus between the lakes offers a majestic view across the water to the towering heights of McClellan Peak.
Cow Heaven
With a trailhead accessible year round, Cow Heaven and views of the Skagit and Sauk River Valleys along with the majestic North Cascades are a promising paradise despite the challenge of a zigzag ascent spent mostly within the shelter of the forest.
Franklin Falls - Winter
Avalanche Danger: The Franklin Falls basin lies at the bottom of an avalanche chute. Know the avalanche conditions and exercise caution if you choose to enter the basin.
This popular summer trail off I-90 changes quite a bit during the winter months. The road accessing the summer trailhead is closed to vehicles, adding several miles to the route, and there is considerable avalanche danger at the falls.
Roosevelt Grove of Ancient Cedars
Visit a majestic old-growth grove in eastern Washington! Just 14 miles north of Nordman, Idaho is the Roosevelt Grove of Ancient Cedars, boasting some trees that are almost 3000 years old.
Marmot Pass
Olympic Peninsula -- Hood Canal
Marmot Pass offers great views and a gentle hike through old-growth forest as well as high meadows. It is a great day hike, but also offers a great starting place for a variety of overnight options.
Melakwa Lake
The way to Melakwa Lake is like two different trails: first a wide gentle trail through old growth forest beneath an elevated and noisy Interstate freeway. And second, a rocky steep trail that follows a waterfall and a precipitous gorge upstream to get to a pair of clear alpine lakes flanked by rocky peaks. Is it about the journey or the destination? You decide.
Melakwa - Pratt Lake Traverse
Take a thru-hike among some of the I-90 corridor's most iconic lakes. Make it a day hike, an overnight, or take as much time as you like and really explore the area.
Kaleetan Peak
A peak near Melakwa Lake on the north side of I-90. Climbing experience and route finding necessary to gain the summit.
Franklin Falls
Hiking with kids, new to hiking, or just looking for an easy day hike with a spectacular endpoint? Look no further then Franklin Falls! At just 2 miles with 400 feet in elevation gain it is the perfect destination for any hiker looking for something easy and beautiful!
Wagon Road Trail
This comfortable, easy to follow trail winds through intermittent old growth, occasional remnants of the past, and alongside a sometimes babbling and other times a crashing creek. You will follow the original Snoqualmie Pass Wagon Road, and it is possible to connect with the trail to Franklin Falls for a scenic and delightful 2-mile loop.
Lake 22
The curiously-named Lake Twentytwo is the center of an oasis of alpine wetland nestled on the northern shoulder of Mount Pilchuck. The hike to the lake combines the best of mountain rainforests, old-growth, wetlands, and mountain views, yet it is readily accessible. In winter the route lends itself to snowshoeing.
Lake Serene
Lake Serene and Bridal Veil Falls compete for attention on this 7.2 mile trip. Either would be a worthy destination by themselves and combined they are a great day on the trail.
Blanca Lake
Visit one of the most striking lakes in the Henry M. Jackson wilderness. The vibrant blue of the glacier-fed lake provides the perfect rest stop for hikers who have braved the thirty-odd, steep switchbacks that lead to the lake.
Bellevue Botanical Garden
The Bellevue Botanical Garden (BBG) is a tranquil gem nestled in Wilburton Hill Park. The BBG's winding pathways, elegant gardens and 150 foot suspension bridge provide hikers and families with a visual cornucopia and gentle refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
This rugged hike is bound to become a classic, if it isn't already. The full trail loop provides fantastic views of the Columbia River Gorge, an intimate look at the Cape Horn Falls and a challenging workout as it climbs and descends the rocky slopes of Cape Horn.
Nordrum Lake
A steep and seldom traveled trail settled in what is now Alpine Lakes Wilderness, Nordrum Lake provides giant old-growth conifers, rivers, streams, waterfalls – and quite a workout! This narrow path cuts off the Taylor River/Snoqualmie Lake trail after about 6.5 miles, and doesn't stop climbing until you reach the lake at about 3675'. But don't worry, the giant cedars and firs provide shade throughout the entirety of the hike, keeping you cool on even the hottest of summer days.
Abernathy Pass via Cedar Creek
A lengthy, pleasant hike through lodgepole pine and deciduous forest, past a lovely waterfall to Abernathy Pass.
Heliotrope Ridge
Trailhead Inaccessible: As of 11.22.21 Glacier Creek Road is washed out at milepost 3.1 cutting off vehicle access to this trail.
If you'd like nose-to-nose access to Mount Baker, this first-rate woodsy walk delivers. Over a relatively short, well-maintained trail with mild elevation gain, you can be glacier-side in no time... if the creek crossings allow.
A beautiful waterfall flows out of Lake Serene and cascades below the rugged east wall of Mount Index at the end of a trail on the west side of Bridal Veil Creek. Take time to see and enjoy a stunning view of Bridal Veil Falls and climb flights of steps paralleling the falls.
Taylor River - Otter Falls
Lose yourself in second-growth forest as you traverse an old logging road that heads into quiet wilderness just an hour from the urban sprawl of Puget Sound. Enjoy the sounds of water rushing and birds singing. Explore mossy boulders and cross multiple burbling creeks, even do a small amount of cross-country travel on the way to the piece de resistance – a 1,200 foot waterfall that streams into tiny Lipsy Lake before draining to the Taylor River.


Crickets and Grasshoppers are very active in the fall entering Long Island's homes. It should be no problem to put together some cricket recipes for Thanksgiving. We'd love to know how they turn out!
Both crickets and grasshoppers are considered sources of protein and calcium. Their hard shells provide a crunch! Eating insects and arachnids is known as Entomophagy. Some people consider it a sustainable and healthy eating option. It is said that a cricket tastes somewhere between a shrimp and an almond. In some cultures, crickets are considered a food staple.
You might be able to taste a slight difference between Long Island's common crickets: Cave crickets or Camel Crickets, Field Crickets, and House Crickets.
Start by frying, baking or sautéing your crickets with garlic, olive oil and salt. Then, add to the recipes below.
Cricket granola recipe - Mix your favorite granola mix and crickets.
Cucumber Garlic Crickets Appetizers – wrap a thinly sliced cucumber around a cricket topped with garlic and dill.
Tempura Crickets – Dunk them into tempura batter and fry them. Serve with your favorite sauce.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Suburban Exterminating!

Chuck Rainey
May 26, 2020 /in BioProject - Person /by admin
Bill Nowlin
Right-hander Chuck Rainey was a first-round draft pick of the Boston Red Sox, the 19th pick overall in the January 1974 draft. A little more than five years later, he broke into the big leagues with Boston, pitching for the Red Sox, Cubs, and Oakland Athletics in a major-league career that lasted six seasons.
Red Sox scout Ray Boone recommended Rainey: "Rainey has a strong build; fast ball fair, but runs in good on the hitter; curve and control good, fast ball will come later."1 Sox farm director Ed Kenney, with help from scout Bill Enos, made the selection of the 5-foot-11, 190-pound Rainey, who had been pitching for San Diego Mesa College.
Rainey was a native San Diegan, born there on July 14, 1954, as Charles David Rainey. "We were the dictionary definition of the nuclear family back in the fifties and sixties. My dad's named William. My mom's name was Betty. My dad was in the Navy. He grew up in Kosciusko, Mississippi. He joined the Navy a little underage but back in those days they didn't care if you were 17 or 18; they took you."
Rainey's mother was a native of Perth, Australia. She and William Rainey met and were married there. "My oldest brother, another William, was born in Australia. I have an older sister Jan and an older brother Van, who were born in Hawaii as they made their way back across the Pacific. This was before Hawaii was a state. Myself and my little brother Mike were born here in the Navy hospital in San Diego. My mom was the cook, cleaner, buyer, all those things. She had five kids to take care of. I'm sure that wasn't an easy thing for her."2
After completing a 20-year stretch with the Navy, father William Rainey worked as a letter carrier and at a number of Postal Service and other civil service jobs at the Navy base in San Diego. His last job was as a foreman rigger, doing underwater welding, including submarine repair, and underwater demolition. Chuck recalls one time when an airplane crashed in one of the region's reservoirs. "He went out and coordinated the whole effort to get that plane out of that lake."
Chuck was a graduate of San Diego's Crawford High School. Drafted in January, Rainey didn't sign right away, because he wanted to finish his first year at college. He signed on May 10, 1974, in time to get in a full season in the New York-Penn League, playing for the Elmira Pioneers in the Class A league. He started in 12 of his 16 appearances, with a record of 4-5 and a 5.61 earned run average for the third-place (34-35) team playing under Dick Berardino. Another 19-year-old player on the squad was his future Red Sox teammate Bob Stanley (6-6, 4.60).
In the full-season Class-A Carolina League, Rainey pitched for the Winston-Salem Red Sox in 1975. He was 4-9 with an ERA of 4.38.
Rainey advanced to Double A in 1976, pitching for the Eastern League's Bristol Red Sox. He posted a record of 7-4 with a 4.37 ERA. In each of his first three seasons, his ERA was more than a full run higher than the rest of the team, but the Red Sox clearly rated him as someone who was developing well enough to keep moving him up the ladder. In 1977, he produced distinctly better stats in a season split between Bristol (4-3, 2.29) and Triple-A Pawtucket (5-9, but with a very good 3.07 ERA.) He struck out 100 batters over the course of the season, though his 79 walks suggest he was still a work in progress.
Under manager Joe Morgan, Pawtucket placed first in the International League standings, beating the Richmond Braves in the playoffs before being swept by the second-place Charleston Charlies in the finals. Rainey lost the final game, 4-1. In October, the Red Sox purchased his contract from Pawtucket and he was placed on the 40-man roster.
He joined the Boston Red Sox for spring training in 1978 but in mid-March was optioned to Pawtucket. He put up a solid year in Triple A: 13-7, 2.91, with 104 strikeouts in 170 innings, with a slightly better than team average WHIP of 1.435. He didn't impress Peter Gammons, though, during an in-season exhibition game against Boston on August 31. The PawSox won, 11-1, but Gammons called Rainey the "least impressive" among the players, writing that he "looked like he was throwing watermelons."3 Rainey was, however, the best starter for the PawSox, though it was teammate (and reliever) John LaRose who was named to the International League All-Star team. The PawSox lost in the finals again, though this time taking it to seven games. Rainey won the deciding game in the first round of the playoffs, with a four-hit, 12-strikeout game. And he won the fifth game of the finals, beating Richmond, 7-3, for a total of 15 wins on the season.
Rainey had impressed Joe Morgan. Asked in January 1979 who he thought had the best chance to make the majors that year, Morgan named Chuck Rainey and Bobby Sprowl.4
The Red Sox had lost the pennant to the Yankees in a single-game playoff at the end of the 1978 season. During spring training in 1979, there were a host of pitchers aiming to make the team in Boston. Right-hander Joel Finch said, "One bad outing and it could be 'sayonara.' It's pressure like we've never known." Rainey said, "There isn't one of us who isn't going to be a little tight when it's our turn."5 The next day, he threw three scoreless innings, only allowing one base hit. Before the end of March, manager Don Zimmer named Rainey as his fifth starter. "He throws a sinker, a changeup, knows how to pitch, throws a slider and curve…he's shown me that without a doubt he's a big-league pitcher."6
The Boston Globe's Gammons posed four possibilities for how well Rainey might do: "Chuck Rainey is: a. Capable of winning 10-12 games; b. A reliable long man, c. The new Al (Bull) Schroll or d. An interesting, intelligent kid who just isn't ready."7
His 1979 season proved that he was ready. Rainey's debut came in relief, in Cleveland on April 8, in the third game of the season. He relieved Bob Stanley on a damp 34-degree afternoon. Taking over in the sixth with a 6-5 lead he held the Tribe to one hit over three-plus innings. Bill Campbell relieved him after he walked the leadoff man in the ninth and wild pitched him to second. The run eventually scored, but Rainey had earned a hold. The Red Sox won the game, 7-6, in the 12th.
His next appearance was a start, at Fenway Park on April 19. It was the first time he'd ever been on the mound at Boston's home field. He worked 7 ⅔ innings, allowing three runs, and won his first major-league game, 8-3. "I came to spring training and my name wasn't even on the roster," he said after the game. "Fifteen wins last year and no one knew who I was. I was nervous at the start, but I guess that's natural. I was just trying to do the same things I did last year."8
Completing a trifecta of sorts, Rainey earned a save in his third outing. The Red Sox held a 4-1 lead with the Seattle Mariners batting in the bottom of the ninth on April 25. Tom Burgmeier got the first out in the ninth, but then gave up back-to-back singles. Zimmer called on Rainey, who induced a groundout and a fly ball to end the game.
Rainey's second start was on April 28, against the California Angels. He pitched 6 ⅓ innings, giving up three runs, but saw his teammates held scoreless. The game ended as a 5-0 shutout, and Rainey had his first loss. When the Angels came to Fenway on May 6, they bombed him for six runs in just one-plus inning of work. He rebounded, though, with a complete-game three-hitter, an 8-2 win against Oakland five days later. In Toronto on the 27th, he shut out the Blue Jays for a razor-thin 1-0 win — even though he'd seen at least runner on base in every one of the first seven innings.
After an appearance on July 5, Rainey — who had suffered shoulder problems and had to miss a couple of starts –was kept in the bullpen but not used until he was finally placed on the 21-day disabled list on July 24, retroactive to the 20th.
He got in 17 innings of rehab work at Pawtucket and returned in September. He won his last three decisions, starting with the September 12 game in which Carl Yastrzemski collected his 3,000th base hit.
When the 1979 season was done, Rainey's record was 8-5; his 3.82 ERA was better than the team's 4.03 average. His WHIP was 1.331. He struck out 41 and walked 41. Pitching coach Al Jackson was told at the end of September that he would not be rehired for 1980. Rainey spoke in praise of Jackson, saying, "He taught me about bat speed, about adjusting to hitters who adjust to you. We talked a lot about the mental side of pitching, and every time he offered advice, it was helpful."9
Rainey stayed in the Boston area after the season and worked out with Dennis Eckersley and Jerry Remy at Tufts University. Near the end of spring training, when it was observed that he was throwing harder than ever, he said, "I don't know what it is. It could be that I'm completely healthy. It could be the conditioning or the Nautilus. It may be confidence that I can pitch here now."10
His 1980 season started out oddly. He got into his first game on April 12 at Milwaukee's County Stadium, after starter Mike Torrez had been banged around for six runs in one inning of work, leaving after giving up a grand slam in the second inning before he got an out. Rainey gave up seven more runs, the first four on yet another Brewers grand slam. The Brewers won, 18-1.
After four outings in April, he had neither a win nor a loss but an ERA of 11.85. Given a start on May 3, in Kansas City, he shut out the Royals, 7-0, on five hits. "Any time I can go nine, I'm surprised," he said with remarkable candor. "I don't think my control was still that great, but they swung at some good pitches. There are still a lot of things I have to work on, but this is a good start."11 He really didn't know what his role was, wrote columnist Ernie Roberts, who talked with Rainey on the phone and was told, "I've been trying to figure out why I keep coming out of the bullpen when I'm supposed to be the fourth starter." He said he understood they were trying to accommodate lefty Bruce Hurst, but said the "only thing I'm disturbed about is being sat down for two weeks and then suddenly being thrown into the starting rotation. That's what hurt me last year. You can't trick your body. This is like running a mile a day for two weeks and then going out to run a marathon."12
On May 11, he won a complete game, 5-2, over the Royals at Fenway Park. In Cleveland on the 16th, he beat the Indians, 2-1, giving up four hits in 6 ⅔ innings. Someone called him Boston's ace, and he replied, "I'm not the ace of this staff. Not by a long shot. If anybody is, it is Tom Burgmeier. If I can pitch 6 ⅔ in the next 30 games, I hope he's the man who finishes up."13
He won his fourth game in a row on May 20 in Toronto, again giving up four hits, in five innings. He was 4-0, and had brought his ERA down to 4.57.
His first loss was to the Indians, 3-2, on May 25, but then he beat the Brewers, 5-3, on May 30. He was named American League Pitcher of the Month.14
In June, he won three and lost two. On July 3, he pitched his last in the big leagues that year, giving up a single to Baltimore's Al Bumbry before leaving the game mid-batter when Bumbry stole second base. After only nine pitches, he felt a twinge in his right elbow and departed. It was more than a twinge; he had suffered a muscle tear in his right elbow and was placed on the disabled list. Rest was prescribed. The winningest pitcher on the Red Sox at the time he left, he missed the rest of the season.
New Red Sox manager Ralph Houk was optimistic about the team's pitching staff heading in to 1981. Rainey pitched some in spring training but only twice in April and five times in May, with only one start. The team's medical staff suggested using him only sparingly, to try and allow his elbow time to fully come back. Three innings of one-hit relief on June 6 in Oakland seemed to offer optimism. A start against the Angels on June 11 saw him give up six runs — though only two were earned. It was his first decision of the year — he was 0-1, but with a good ERA of 2.95.
The players went on strike the next day and didn't return for two months. When the players came back, most of the pitchers were in good shape but Rainey had apparently not kept us his throwing. It's not that he gained weight; he had exercised and kept in good physical shape, but he had not followed a throwing program. "My elbow feels fine," he said when he turned. "What frustrates me is that at the time of the strike I was just starting to come into a groove, so stopping then really bummed me out. Not only was I throwing well, but I felt I'd begun to use some new ideas about pitching…I was trying some different pitches, but most of all I was changing speeds with my existing pitches, using my curveball more and changing some philosophies of working certain hitters. I felt I was evolving into a different type of pitcher. The strike may have made me lose track of some of it. I hope it will come back as soon as I start pitching."15
He was optioned to Pawtucket and started four games there (1-1, 3.15). When brought back up, he only pitched in two September games, for a total of 3⅓ innings, not giving up a single run — earned or unearned — in either game.
In January 1982, Peter Gammons reported Rainey "says he has rearranged his priorities toward baseball."16 Just before preseason exhibition games started, Houk said that the difference he saw in Rainey from a year earlier was "like night and day," while Rainey himself said the difference was "like life and death. I feel pretty good throwing the ball. This year I know what I can do…all the hard work I did over the winter conditioning and rehabilitating myself has paid off."17 He added that he and his manager had spent more time together and, with the strike over and him in better shape, they had established a better rapport.
Heading into his option year, Rainey got in a pretty full season's work in 1982, starting 25 games and appearing in two others. He posted a 7-5 record, but with a subpar 5.02 earned run average. The team ERA was 4.03.
He'd started the season strong again, 3-0 through May 8 with an April 26 shutout against the White Sox (his first win since June 27, 1980) followed by 6-2 and 2-1 wins against the Twins and the Rangers. As his ERA indicates, though, there were several games where he gave up multiple runs in briefer stints. One game he would no doubt wish to forget was the 7-0 loss to the Brewers on July 3, when he gave up four home runs in 5 ⅓ innings. In his next outing, he shut out the Rangers in Texas, 3-0. His third shutout of the season was on August 31 against Oakland. The Red Sox finished in third place, six games behind the Brewers in the AL East.
On December 10, 1982, Rainey was traded to the Chicago Cubs for right-hander Doug Bird. It's not clear why. Bird had given up more home runs than anyone else in the National League in 1982 and his ERA was higher that Rainey's, at 5.14. When the deal was announced, Houk said it "wasn't anything major" but that he thought Bird could keep the ball low and be a good pitcher at Fenway, maybe working as a swing man.18 The Cubs saw Rainey as perhaps having more upside because he was four years younger than Bird.19 (Bird was 1-4 with the Red Sox in 1983 with a 6.65 ERA.)
The Cubs gave him more self-confidence. "It's the first time anybody has ever come to me and said, 'You're going to be one of our starting pitchers. It feels good. There are enough things to think about in this game without having to worry about whether you have a job." He added that Ralph Houk had seemed to be too quick to turn to the bullpen. "Any time I'd get in trouble, he'd get the bullpen up. That was his strategy and a lot of times I suffered because of that strategy. There were a lot of times when I was jerked in the third or fourth inning with a two- or three-run lead. He wouldn't hesitate for a minute. That's not very good for your confidence."20
Rainey gave the Cubs good value. He credited pitching coach Billy Connors with working closely with him. Manager Lee Elia said in midseason, "Every time we've really needed a victory, Rainey has been there. He went through some trying times this spring and I think that has made him tougher."21
He was the winningest pitcher on the Cubs (14-13), a workhorse who started 34 games and threw 191 innings. His ERA was 4.48 with a WHIP of 1.534. In contrast to a couple of hot starts for Boston, he lost his first three games — though his teammates only scored a total of eight runs for him over the three games and he'd only given up five earned runs. He won his next four decisions.
He had just one shutout on the season, of Cincinnati on August 24. He had a no-hitter until two outs in the ninth. Eddie Milner singled up the middle. "It was a back-door slider," Rainey said after the game. "It was a good pitch."22
He bookended the year the way he'd begun it, with three consecutive losses. After the season, he said, "I wasn't much different as a pitcher. I just matured a little. I had a time to grow." The Cubs looked at him differently. "They gave me the chance to be the burro, the horse. I never had that before." He added, looking back at his time with the Red Sox, "They've never really given pitchers who come up through their organization a lot of time for development. Who have they developed and kept, outside of Bob Stanley? And he'd got a unique talent. He came in and did it right away. If you don't do it right away, you're gone."23
Rainey put in another full season in 1984. He began with the Cubs, and was 5-7 with a 4.28 ERA when he went through waivers and was traded to the Oakland Athletics on July 15 for a player to be named later.24 The Cubs were banking on Dick Ruthven coming back after a couple of months on the sidelines. He did, but didn't make any significant difference, finishing the season 6-10 with a 5.02 ERA. Rainey credits Dallas Green of the Cubs for helping place him with the A's. "He and I got along really good. He was kind enough to find a place for me. He was a pitcher, and he was a players' GM. He could have just told me to get lost, or sent me to Triple A or something like that. But they found a spot for me and they traded me to Oakland the day after my 30th birthday. I got to Oakland and they kind of said, 'Well, you know, since we traded for you the other day, we've kind of gone off in a different direction and we're going to put you in the bullpen. We've got one of our young kids we're going to put into the starting rotation.' I pitched the rest of 1984 out of the bullpen and I didn't make a very good adjustment. I didn't do very well. I didn't leave a very good impression on anybody in Oakland." Joking, he added, "There was no excuse for it…except that the catcher was telling the hitter what was coming."
For Oakland, Rainey was used exclusively as a reliever, appearing in 16 games (eight of them closing the game). He was 1-1 with a 6.76 earned run average, mostly the result of just two bad outings.
In the National League with the Cubs, Rainey took his turns as a batter. He hit .138 (12 for 87), every base hit being a single. He drove in three runs, two of them on April 5, 1984 (one of the two on a bases-loaded walk), helping get his first victory of 1984.
As a fielder, Rainey had a career fielding percentage of .935 (13 errors in 201 chances, 7 of the errors in 1983, the season in which he worked the most innings.)
The A's declined to renew their option for 1985; the 1984 season was Rainey's last in baseball. He readily admits, "That had a little numbing effect on me. You've done something for 10 years of your life and the idea was to continue on with it, but it wasn't going to be with the Oakland A's."
He hadn't given up trying. A news story in early 1985 reported: "Former Cubs' pitcher Chuck Rainey is so desperate for a job he had his future brother-in-law write a letter to the general managers of all 26 teams. Each letter traces Rainey's career and personal data. Each letter begins, "My name is Chuck Rainey, you don't know me, but . . ."25
One GM called him — Syd Thrift of Pittsburgh, "and he just said, 'You know, there comes a time if life when you have to move on. He was kind enough to call me, and blunt enough to say, 'Your best years are behind you.'" It was time to seek other work.
"The day I didn't go to spring training I went to work for my first father-in-law. I worked for him for about two and a half years. He was in the soils engineering business." He was essentially a consultant with an expertise in soils. Rainey was learning from a man with a degree in engineering and a master's in business. He learned a lot, working on residential properties.
In August 1985, while Rainey was on his honeymoon in Europe, a convict named Mark Liebl, speaking from his prison cell, claimed he had snorted cocaine with Vida Blue, Ron LeFlore, and had once "spent the night snorting cocaine with Dennis Eckersley, Mike Torrez and Chuck Rainey," from midnight to 11 the next morning.26 The story broke the day the Raineys got back from Europe.
Asked about this in 2020, Rainey said, "I'm glad you brought that up. I don't want to dodge the whole drug thing. I honestly don't remember the guy. I don't remember partying with him. I don't remember doing anything with him. But that doesn't mean it couldn't have happened. I wasn't real happy with the whole thing but there wasn't…I put myself in that situation.
"The whole thing blew over, but it really gave me an opportunity to find out a little more about my family and my relationship with my family. I've always considered the whole drug thing one of the dumbest things I've ever done. I think it's really important for people to know — it's not just cocaine, it's whatever drug you're dealing with. If you don't need to do it, then don't do it. Alcohol is no different.
"I really feel like I cheated myself by doing some of the things that I did back then."27
Liebl's testimony had been divulged to baseball clubs in the summer of 1984 and, as Peter Gammons wrote in the Boston Globe, now that it was known that the allegations had been provided to the ballclubs the prior year, "Chuck Rainey knows why he was blackballed — without his being able to answer the word of a convicted felon."28
Did Rainey have the feeling he had truly been blackballed? Years later, Rainey joked, "You have to be important in order to be blackballed. I was a journeyman player. I got caught in a bad situation."29
Looking back with perspective, he says, "If I had gone to spring training with somebody in 1985, I don't think I would have gotten a job. No, when I got out of it, I was done."
Rainey's name cropped up again in 1995. With major-league baseball players on strike since August 1994, the big-league clubs were stocking their spring training camps with replacement players. Among the players said to be coming to try out with the Texas Rangers was Chuck Rainey, now 40 years old. At the last minute, he chose not to. As reported in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, "Chuck Rainey, who could have given the Rangers' replacement pitching staff 141 games of major-league experience, did not show up at training camp yesterday. Rainey, who had tentatively agreed to come to spring training with the Rangers, has decided instead to tend to his construction business in San Diego rather than attempt to pitch in the major leagues for the first time in 10 years."30 He was not the only one who appears to have committed, but had second thoughts. Ken Oberkfell was another. He said, "The more I thought about it, the more reality and common sense set in."31
It was only after baseball that Rainey married, the result of a conscious decision. Even though most other players had married, some of them when still teenagers, he had determined to wait. To some extent, this meant that he traveled in different social circles.
He has been married twice — and both times to classmates at Crawford High School in San Diego. His first wife, Carolyn, happened to be in Chicago visiting a friend and turned on a TV — and saw Chuck pitching. She called Wrigley Field and convinced the operator to leave a message. They met up, connected, and sometime after the season he gave her a call. A couple of years later, on August 4, 1985, they married. The marriage ended in a divorce finalized in December 1996.
Chuck and Carolyn had two children. "My daughter Carly is 31. My son William is 27 years old. They're great kids. There's just not enough good things I can say about them. They had a good mom. In spite of us being separated and all that, we both still took our parenting part of it seriously. I think that helped them out a lot."
"My current wife, Deborah, was also a high school classmate. They knew each other then, know each other now. Deborah and I hooked up at what I think was our 30th class reunion. I was divorced and she was working on getting divorced. She was living in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, and I was living out here. We had kind of a long-distance phone call type of thing for a year and a half or so and then I finally convinced her to move out here. Her dad was still alive at the time. Another retired Navy man, a retired commander. He became a schoolteacher. It was a good fit for her. She got to come home." They married on September 23, 2006.
Rainey kept working throughout. The work changed somewhat over the years. At first he was working for developers who were tearing down old houses and putting up multi-unit places, like six to eight units. "I didn't know anything about business," he says. "I just started asking questions: 'How do you do this? How do you do that?' I went to the bank and met with his guy who I had played high school football against. He was the manager of the bank. He guided me down the path to writing the business plan a bit more effectively. He ended up loaning me the money. I did that five or six times and I got pretty good at it. But then I did it two times in the very early '90s where I did really bad at it. My baseball money ended up in San Diego real estate. I lost all that money."
From around 1992 until sometime in 1996 or 1997, he had to do some really hard and sometimes unpleasant work. Some properties were reclaimed by banks in the early 1990s real estate crunch. "I knew a guy who was a commercial apartment broker. The banks were looking for somebody to gussy up these old places that had gone back to the bank. They needed somebody to clean them up. I changed toilets and I changed plumbing stuff and I did things that, every day, I swore I would never do it again. If a job was big enough, I had a buddy help me out.
"Then I got into contracting. I had had my license for probably seven or eight years at that time. My daughter started playing softball. The lady who was the president of the league asked me if I could remodel a kitchen. I started remodeling thing, and that's what I've been doing for the last 20-some years. Remodeling homes. Doing room additions. I've really enjoyed it. It's a good way to stay physical. I think I had a pretty good aptitude for it. I was able to make the transition.
"I've basically been a sole proprietor. I've got guys who are licensed subcontractors who do work, but I don't have any employees or any people who I keep on staff.
"I'm getting to the point, though, where everything just hurts. I try to leave it to the young bucks to take care of the physical part. My cellphone is my most important tool right now."
Asked to look back on his time in baseball, Rainey started with a bit of humor: "If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't — but that's because I've already done it. But to be honest with you, I learned so much from baseball. You've heard a hundred times that it's a game about failure. It's a game about overcoming your weaknesses. A lot of the lessons I learned about playing baseball are lessons I still put to work, to this day.
"Whenever I talk to people about pitching, they'll ask, 'What's it like?' Hey, it's a very lonely spot out there. Kids go out there and as soon as they step on that rubber, some of them will start crying. It's a very scary spot. There's a lot of responsibility. Nothing in baseball happens until you pitch the ball. That, to me, is pretty heady stuff."
He doesn't follow baseball that much during the regular season — until it gets to the crucial part of the season. "I've kind of weaned off of it, but I still like watching the playoffs. I like the aspect of either you put up or you shut up. You win or you go home. There are some reality TV shows that I like watching that are along the same theme. People ask me, 'You watch American Idol? Really?' Do you realize how much pressure those kids are under to perform, and what that feels like? I do know what it feels like. I do know what it's like to wake up in spring training and wonder if I'm going to make the team or not. That's a frickin' scary spot." Simply put, Rainey admires people who will step out and are ready to put pressure on themselves.
The remodeling work takes a toll. Rainey says he was thinking of working until he is 70, but the prospect of retirement maybe just a few years before that has begun to have more appeal.

A number of months ago, I wrote about the loss of my family's beautiful dog Jessie.
I understand now how relatable to people this really was, because if you have a pet, you more than likely know how it feels to lose one.
However, rather than dwelling on the sorrow of the loss of a pet; I would rather rejoice in the benefits of having one.
I get that there are both dog lovers and cat lovers in the world; our family just happens to be a mix of both. So we have the benefits of having a wild and crazy little dog, as well as the benefits of having a quiet and regal cat.
I think the best thing about having any sort of pet is that you never feel alone (unless you have a goldfish, because I don't think they are much for conversation).
I know that in all technical terms, animals can't actually speak to you. That does not mean that they can't communicate with you. If I am ever sick or sad, I will suddenly find my dog right next to me. Or sitting on my head for that matter.
There was one occasion where my dog literally licked the tears off of my face; and you say that dogs don't understand. Cats and other animals, usually go for a more subtle approach, by either sleeping beside you or even leaving a little mouse on your doorstep.
I personally have no problem with actually talking to my dog. At least it is slightly less crazy than talking to yourself; and you never know, they might actually have some good feedback.
I know that having a pet takes a lot of work and a lot of time, because most animals are so dependant on you, that you literally have their life in your hands. Which, despite the pressure of this statement, actually feels kind of nice.
Not only do you feel this responsibility towards them, but you also get to reap the rewards.
You get early morning wake up calls by impatient puppies. You get slobbery wet kisses. You get to feel genuinely special when your pet is so damn excited to see you that they literally can't control their bodily functions.
You never have to be alone.
I personally think that the 'crazy cat lady' look is very in this season…. Or the 'crazy pet person', because I really don't think I could settle for just one.


Ordinarily in this space that would be a lament, but in this case it's a short and catchy vocoder-driven tune by the Australian duo calling themselves The Scientists of Modern Music, here playing at the Falls Festival in 2006.

The American actress on Tuesday took in the Louis Vuitton show in the medieval Pavillon de l'Horloge, her favorite space in the museum.
HISTORY LESSONS: Seated next to Julianne Moore and Cate Blanchett, Michelle Williams dished out history lessons to fellow guests at the Louis Vuitton show on Tuesday, located in the heart of the Louvre, in what used to be the moats of a medieval fortress.
"It looks a bit like a castle," said British actress Raffey Cassidy, who stars in the thriller "The Killing of a Sacred Deer," costarring Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell, which shared the Best Screenplay prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
Standing chatting to Jennifer Connelly on the runway, a futuristic white strip, her husband Paul Bettany also said it's too early to share details on his role in the upcoming Han Solo "Star Wars" spinoff, directed by Ron Howard. "I've come here so many times as a tourist, but this is my first show and it's so lovely to be here for [Vuitton's] Nic Ghesquière, who I adore and love," he said, changing the subject.
Gazing at a huge sphinx sculpture positioned at the far end of the space, watching over the show guests, Léa Seydoux, dressed in a leopard print coat and sporting a bob with a blunt fringe à la Cleopatra, only blonde, said her favorite room is the Egyptian room.
The actress' latest roles include Thomas Vinterberg's English-language Russian submarine drama, "Kursk," about the Kursk submarine that sank in the Barents Sea in the year 2000.
After the show, meanwhile, a yellow-haired Jaden Smith, whose hip-hop album "Syre" is due out imminently, said he particularly loved the sneakers.

Can Musicians and Educators Bring Welsh Back?
The Welsh language is spoken by few, but people like Gwyneth Glyn, a Welsh folk musician, are helping to revitalize it and renew interest in the culture
Gwyneth Glyn, a Welsh singer who performs original and folk songs in her native tongue, will perform at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival this year as part of the "One World, Many Voices" program. (Image courtesy of Sukh and Mindy Photography)
By Colleen Connolly
Gwyneth Glyn is a singer whose fans don't always understand her. But her music speaks to them, even if her words don't.
A native of Wales, Glyn sings most of her songs in Welsh. When she performs for a non-Welsh-speaking audience, she doesn't worry about the language barrier. She once performed in Wales, and in the audience was an autistic girl from Scotland, who was inspired to learn Welsh after hearing Glyn sing. She has already made progress, and Glyn has stayed in touch with her since.
"I know from experience that even one song, one performance can affect a person's life journey," Glyn said.
Performances by musicians, poets and storytellers like Glyn might also affect the vulnerable status of the Welsh language, which is primarily spoken in and around Wales and in a few small émigré communities in Argentine Patagonia. Welsh has been officially classified as vulnerable by UNESCO, which is finding that new generations still speak the language but only at home and only in some regions of the country.
Glyn, who grew up in a hamlet in North Wales, speaks Welsh as her first language. Until primary school, the only English she knew was what she gleaned from watching Sesame Street on the television. The more she advanced in her education, however, the more she spoke English. At Jesus College in Oxford, she earned her degree in philosophy and theology speaking, reading and writing in English only.
Despite the prevalence of English, the Welsh language and traditional culture have begun to make a comeback.
"There has been something of a folk revival in the past, say, ten years . . . a resurgence of folk music," Glyn said.
Although the language is undergoing a revival, the numbers don't yet show it. According to a Welsh government census, the number of people in Wales who speak Welsh has decreased. The difference, however, is the renewed interest in learning Welsh and a new effort to teach it in schools, as well as recent government measures to promote it. Welsh has been a core subject in schools since 1988, but children are speaking it even more now as the popularity of Welsh medium schools has slowly increased. These schools do not teach Welsh as a second language, but rather integrate it into the lessons of other subjects, increasing fluency.
With its proximity to England and the prevalence of English-language entertainment, revitalizing the Welsh language is not a simple task. Its status as vulnerable means it has a greater chance of dying out, something supporters of the language know too well.
"I think you always have that at the back of your mind," Glyn said. "It's part of the psyche of the nation."
Glyn sings both original songs and traditional Welsh songs, inspired by the folk stories her mother told her growing up and her father's record collection, which included albums by Bob Dylan and his Welsh counterpart Meic Stevens, also known as "the Welsh Dylan."
For her foreign audiences, who don't normally speak Welsh, Glyn has found that the language still has an effect on them. A man from New York state recently sent her an email after watching a performance. He said that her song "Adra" transcended language and that it was one of the best songs in any language.
Her audience may not always understand her, but Glyn enjoys the cultural exchange, as do her fans.
"It's really refreshing to cross pollinate culturally," Glyn said. "It's ironic that we have to go across the Atlantic to do that, but sometimes it's when you're away from home, you realize the wealth of your own culture."
Glyn performs Wednesday, July 3, through Sunday, July 7, at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Her schedule is as follows.
July 3 — 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Talk Story Stage and 2:45 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Voices of the World Stage

With statewide law enforcement officials out in full force to distribute tickets, the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) kicked off its Click It or Ticket Campaign to warn Oklahoma vehicle passengers of the need to buckle up day and night.
The message is a simple, yet effective strategy to create awareness about an important issue: seat belts save lives. Our personal injury lawyers in Tulsa agree. With the mobilization of the Click It or Ticket campaign, tickets will be distributed from May 23 through June 5 if vehicle occupants ignore the law and do not fasten their seatbelts.
The annual campaign officially began on May 16 and continues until June 5. Included in the campaign are paid ads that target teens and younger drivers as well as anyone who chooses to forgo buckling up.
The Click It or Ticket campaign outlines why every vehicle occupant must wear a seat belt, especially at night when more people elect to skip seat belts. Car collisions can be severe if passengers and drivers do not buckle up and often end in deadly consequences.
According to 2014 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, almost 50 percent of vehicle occupants who chose not to wear seat belts died in car accidents. Even though more people buckled up on a national level overall, nighttime fatalities revealed that 57 percent of vehicle passengers who died were not wearing their seatbelts.
Click It or Ticket reinforces safety prevention and reminds lawbreakers that police officers will be issuing tickets for violating the state law.

The Grinning Man tickets

Sold Out Event
Missed it? Browse live shows now!
Following its hugely successful premiere at Bristol Old Vic, the critically acclaimed new musical The Grinning Man has transferred to the West End and "demands to be seen" (The Times).
From Tony Award-winning director Tom Morris (War Horse), Kneehigh writer Carl Grose and featuring "an outstanding score" (Sunday Times) by Tim Phillips and Marc Teitler, The Grinning Man is a magical reimagining of the classic novel by Victor Hugo (Les Misérables).
What Is The Grinning Man About?
A strange new act has arrived at the fairground. Who is Grinpayne and how did he get his hideous smile? Paraded as a freak, then celebrated as a star, only the love of a sightless girl can reveal his terrible secret.
Set in a fantastical world created by designer Jon Bausor (Bat Out of Hell), and brought to life with the "astonishing puppetry" (What's on Stage) of Gyre & Gimble, the original War Horse puppeteers, The Grinning Man invites you to be seduced by the darkness at the Trafalgar Studios.
A stunning new musical with puppetry from the director of War Horse, this is a deliciously convoluted tale of the search for truth
"While Louis Maskell's face is covered for most of the performance, he's still able to deliver a monstrously emotive performance"
"It is a remarkable, entrancing achievement and a treat for anyone who likes their storytelling with plenty of dark magic thrown in.
A touching and vibrant plot combined with an amazing cast, great scenery and incredible puppetry. Terribly beautiful.
meg atherton
fantastic!! Loved every minute and so did the audience giving standing ovations. could be classed as a light classical musical in my opinion. the comedy and tragedy of the storyline were brilliantly played would thoroughly recommend seeing this show to anyone margaret
So sad this show is over... Fantastic cast and crew, writers and musicians. It has so many contrasting/opposing themes that work so well together? The community around this show is so unique and I have loved every minute of it's run since December.
I never usually leave reviews, but I do for the grinning man because I feel like it needs to be appreciated. It has now closed (May 5th 2018), and I've seen the fanbase and audiences grow and grow and it warms my heart. It is the best show I've ever seen, and I love every single person involved, everything about the show was perfect, and a cast recording will be released at some point soon, so go check that out! And if there is a revival, you HAVE TO GO! And I've said this when it was open, and I'm right, you should have gone. I love this show beyond belief, best music, lyrics, dialogue, people, everything
D Waters
Brilliant show and energetic and committed performance from all members of the cast.
This show cannot be compared easily with any other. The entire theatre has been dressed to create the atmosphere for the dystopian drama/love story/horror musical that is the Grinning Man. While all the cast fully deserved their standing ovation, special credit must be given to the leads. The Grinning Man himself was simply exceptional in his ability to portray such a range of emotions given the limitations of the character. His puppet-like actions were really eerie and created a feeling of otherness. Dea was simply superb as his muse. Her portrayal of a blind girl was enthralling and touching in equal measure. This show is simply one of the best I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot) and deserves a bigger audience. The problem there is that it works so well in a small theatre that one is concerned that a larger venue would lose much of its unique appeal. I am so glad that I got to see it before the end of its run. I will be returning if the Grinning Man returns- bringing others with me to witness this unique theatrical experience.
I have seen this so many times now and it continues to enthrall and surprise me every time! It's a dark, hilarious, moving, heart-pumping roller coaster of a show, with exquisite set designs, a stunning score, a cast that works together flawlessly and absolutely incredible performances from everyone. Seriously, go and see it before it's over on the 5th May!
Phil T
Excellent, moving, beautifully presented with imaginative sets and puppetry.... Loved it.
Emily Culverhouse
Such tremendous performances throughout this amazing piece. It is a very dark story interspersed with some light and lewd comic moments. Not one to bring the kids to, but brilliantly done. Having discovered the score on Soundcloud I'll be listening again and again and reliving an extraordinary evening.
The show was amazing, I went for the first time last week and begged my parents to let me go again before it finished, so I went yesterday. Come back soon, I will be the first one to book tickets.
Absolutely brilliant show.
Must go and see. Excellent all round
What an amazing show. From the minute you walk in and see the set it blows you away. I haven't enjoyed a show this much for a long time. The puppetry was amazing, songs catchy and the physical aspect of the acting was incredible. I kept forgetting that Mojo was a puppet. I was fully absorbed into GrinPains world.
Absolutely amazing! The songs are beautiful, plenty of drama, plenty of comedy, great actors , gorgeous puppetry and beautiful scenography! Louis Maskell is spectacular as the Grinning man !
An electric performance, and absolute must-see!
Charmain
This is a brilliant musical I have seen 3 times. It is dark, eerie, humorous and heart wrenching. A story told through traditional theatre and I loved it. Highly recommend it.
Lily Dylon
I thought the show one of the best i saw . It represents real musical theatre with raw talent, so many shared emotions, a gorgeous set and costume, simple and brilliant and the puppetry...absolutely fantastic. I found the performance of Louis Maskell hypnotising, with such an original voice and the rest of the cast had such passion, their passion acting through song was phenomenal with such magical music that i thought to be the best i´ve heard to date. With such a brilliant plot, performers, set design, puppetry, costumes and music i can´t see why it´s closing in london and i found it genius.
Was visually stunning. Beautiful singing and performance from the actors & puppeteers. Really enjoyed the show and would highly recommend!!
Utterly bonkers and absolutely brilliant! Loved it from beginning to end. Fabulous performances!
Ginger Beer No Ice
We'd heard so much about how good this show is, that we were desperate to see it before the end of it's run! And we weren't disappointed. It was all we had anticipated it to be. Very atmospheric and imaginative set and lighting, great songs, wonderful vocals, and superb performances all round, veering from tragic & heartbreaking, to laugh out loud comedy.
Not sure what to expect but found this show funny / sad / musical / great. Puppets were so good, I forgot about the people controlling them. Theater was fabulous.
R. Le Drew.
Enjoyed the show, the cast were full of energy and brought the characters to life. The wolf puppeteers were excellent.
Tony Fisher
It immersed us in the dark world of Victor Hugo with the magic of puppetry, all encompassing staging and songs that linger long after we left the theatre. The Trafalgar Studio made us feel part of the experience as the actors appeared in the audience at certain moments including a finale which led to a standing ovation. It's frightening and funny with a supremely talented cast. Imagine Terry Gilliam crossed with a penny dreadful and add a dash of the grotesque. Highly recommended.
Very bizarre and amdram . We left at the interval.
Ben (go see grinning man)
grinning man, the show itself, demands to be seen, and I demand you to see it. This magnificent show, filled with sensational voices and beautiful puppetry, sets and costume, and actors. I never usually leave reviews, but you have to go and see this , and If you have already, go again. Sadly this brilliant show closes on May 5th of 2018, so catch it before it's gone!! You will not regret it, and it was be a brilliant and insanely enjoyable night.
The Swedes
Excellent actors, scenery imaginative. The puppeter dog was very realistic. A very enjoyable performance. Have recommended it to all our friends. Sad, funny at the same time.
Judder
I didn't expect to enjoy it (went with a friend who likes musicals, I don't) but it has everything. - comedy, plot, special effects, great songs, a surprise a minute. Might go again.
L Pamment
Came along to the show and thought it was great! Very well acted, worked very hard. Very different. Kept you engrossed throughout. Well done.
Yovon
The hound Mojo and Duchess amuzed and delighted me greatly...wanted more from the clown he was stifled a tad by his role...maybe a spin off or a prequel? ? The Grin Pain had a few irritating nuances twisting his hand backwards...?? What's that all about Overall a solid 6 / 10 Bring on the Clown!
Helen Black
Beautiful aesthetic to the performance . Thanks set design and builders! I have to say all the performances were great but the main characters control his body was truly astounding! Have no idea how you move like that! Well done all!
Lovely show!
TWilks
Best piece of theatre for many a year - Grinpayne is exquisite
Kate B
To be honest, I didn't do much research into the play before buying the tickets, however I found the storyline quite bland. The actors have brilliant talent and some of the characters were very funny but I feel that the story itself was quite weak. Could have done more!
Laura from Norfolk
Amazing! Fantastic cast. The puppets were mesmerising, the Wolf constantly breathed.
Mike Couzin
Having read unusually mixed-and occasionally pretty damning-reviews, I was a little sceptical about "The Grinning Man". However, the production was inventive, touching, scathing, relevant and appropriately morally ambiguous which brought the period piece right into our world. Having heard the music was merely libretto, I felt it was very well integrated into the other elements of the piece. Of course, the staging a puppetry were superb. Thoroughly enjoyable!!!
Really enjoyed this piece. The music is fantastic, the characters are engaging, especially The Clown. The puppetry is the best I've seen since Warhorse too. Well worth making the effort to catch this little gem before it finishes.
This show was spectacular! The puppetry was something I've never experience before and my god was it brilliant. The lead role was not an actor, however he was infact Grinpayne. He made me feel and believe ever ounce of his character, one of the best, if not, the best actors I have ever had the pleasure to watch. His attention to every fine detail and his presence and persona on stage was just fantastic. All the performers we brilliant, they brought the right amount of humour and sorrow, I honestly cannot talk more highly of it. Loved it and will be seeing it again next week and managed to intruge 4 other friends to go along and watch it too
I was spellbound by the entire performance. It was all the right amounts of funny, enchanting and gripping. I would highly recommend this, especially if you are a fan of Tim burton-esque stories.
Karen Treend
My daughter and I have seen many musicals, but this was so different we were both enthralled! It was a perfect mix of comedy alongside the more serious storyline and it was brilliantly acted by the whole cast. Louis Maskell's voice was unbelievable and his physical representation of Grinpayne was intriguing to watch. We would highly recommend this to everyone.
I loved everything about this musical! Amazing vocals, good acting, stunning visuals and wonderful storytelling! 'The Grinning Man' is a wonderfully weird and wickedly wild new musical based on Victor Hugo's 'The Man Who Laughs' that tells the story of the hand-made freak Grinpayne and his hideously beautiful face. Was definitely one of my highlights during my visit in London! Highly recommended!
k thornburn
totally brilliant
one of the best musicals i've ever seen. innovative music, wonderful actors and simply moving and funny
Lovely intimate theatre. Exceptional cast. Nice to see a different kind of musical. The puppetry was excellent. The only downside was the drunk lady that had to removed at the interval , for shouting out and being a nuisance. The staff dealt with it in a quick and efficient manner.
Diane Doody
Was fab ... Great singing and amazing putter work ☺
T Morris
Didn't know what to expect from this show as usually go to the lively musicals in the West End. However this was a good show - some great humour- puppetry very good too! Would recommend.
Keely MacMahon
Where do I start!? The staging and decoration of the studio was amazing! I actually felt like I was on the set. This got me excited straight away. When we booked the tickets, we had only seen a short clip video which captivated us immediately. We didn't know anything about the storyline, we just knew we had to see it. From the moment the music started and the spoons where being played we were engrossed. What an amazing show, The Grinning man literally takes you through every emotion. The use of the space in the studio was incredible. What an amazing story, what an fantastic cast, what a spectacular evening xXx
Ruki Miller
Unexpectedly delivered the hype...genuinely fantastic show; rivetting from the first word, excellent acting, dialogue, music&lyrics, twisting plot, stylish costumes, lighting&production, darkly comic, macabre, shocking, poignant, risqué, skilled puppetering, may even top my favourite Les Miserables...highly recommended Don't take my word for it, go see it!
One of the best shows I have seen in years. Made us laugh and cry
Mark Hobbs
All I can say is WOW.... Oh my gosh it was absolutely brilliant! Great cast, fantastic puppets and a Super duper set!!! Would definitely reccomend it to anyone. Go and see it NOW!!
Markyb and Anne-Marie
Loved every minute of it. Funny , sad and comical. It embraced the location of the theatre and the puppetry was fantastic . An amazing story told well in this lovely intimate theatre. Well worth seeing .

A: You were trying to access the dummy variable j outside of its loop.  Try the following code:
for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {

    for (j = 0; j < N; j++) {
        c[i][j] = 0;

        for (k = 0; k < N; k++) {
            c[i][j] += a[i][k] * b[k][j]; // C matrix calculated from a and B matrices.
        }

        pool.submit(new Multi(N,i,j,a,b,c));
        pool.shutdown();
        pool.awaitTermination(1, TimeUnit.DAYS);
    }
}
