[1]ancestry This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: AMHhenley Surnames: Shaughnessy, Rasmussen Classification: obituary Message Board: [2]Click here Message Board Post: Deseret News, 08/27/15 Ann R. Shaughnessy, our mom, friend, and the best grandma ever passed away peacefully August 23. Ann was born June 5, 1937, to Leo and Lamona Rasmussen in Dingle, Idaho. The family farm, Bear Lake valley, along with the horses she rode and animals she raised, always remained close to her heart. Ann is survived by her children, Scott, Rickie, Lorie, and Todd, and was preceded in death by her husband Bob, siblings Nedra and Rex, and by Kathy and Steven. Annie's smile (and occasional mischief) will be missed by everyone, including her 11 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. Never one to complain about the many challenges life handed her, she met them all with dignity, humor, and grace. The quiet strength she exhibited each day will be forgotten by none. The family expresses special appreciation to Cindy and Mark, Ann's other neighbors and friends, and the professional caregivers, for their unmatched support. There will be a gathering of celebration of life on Saturday, August 29 from 10:30-11:30 am at the Russon Brothers Mortuary, 295 North Main Street, Bountiful. Online guest book at www.russonmortuary.com. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the MS Society.

When will the Google Home be available in Australia?
Google has not confirmed when the Google Home will be available in Australia. Companies typically use the US as a test market to iron out any teething problems. Given the Google Home is only in its first iteration, it might be a while before Google decides to start distributing internationally. Tech lovers in Australia who want to purchase the Google Home without the wait can use a parcel forwarder or a shopping concierge service such as Big Apple Buddy.
When will the Google Home be available at JB Hi Fi, Harvey Norman and the Good Guys?
Australians know that the latest tech products and electronics are always first available at JB Hi Fi, Harvey Norman and the Good Guys. However, unfortunately, the Google Home is currently still only available in the US with no launch date in sight. Tech lovers and early adopters who would prefer not to wait months (or years!) for JB Hi Fi, Harvey Norman or the Good Guys to stock the Google Home can turn to Big Apple Buddy to have the Google Home purchased and delivered to your home in Australia in just a few days.
At the time of writing this article, the Google Home is only available for purchase in the in the US. Google has not announced a release date for Australia yet so it might be a while before you can find the Google Home at your local JB Hi Fi, Harvey Norman or Good Guys. Luckily for early adopters, there are plenty of workarounds to get a hold of the Google Home before the device officially launches in Australia. One popular option is to use a parcel forwarding service (also known as a package forwarding service or freight forwarder). Many US stores require a US address for delivery. Parcel forwarding services allow you to purchase a US address (a locker at one of their warehouses) which you can then use for your US store purchases. The parcel forwarding option can be relatively cheap, but you will need to handle all aspects of the purchase yourself, including dealing with store issues to preparing customs paperwork and shipping clearance documents.
Set up an account with a parcel forwarding service (e.g. MYUS, Comgateway, Shipito). Set up fees usually range between US$5-$10. This will give you a US mailing address which you can use for your Google Home purchase.
Visit the Google Store to place your order for the Google Home. You will need to insert your new US parcel forwarding mailing address in the delivery address section. Insert your credit card details and complete your purchase. It will usually take 3-6 business days for the item to arrive at your new US parcel forwarding mailing address.
In the meantime, you can get an estimate of your international shipping charges by returning to your parcel forwarder's website and locating their Shipping Calculator (e.g. shipito.com/en/shipping-calculator). In order to do this, you will need to work out the weight and dimensions of your item. You may need to contact the store directly to get these details. Alternatively, you can perform a Google search to see if anyone has shared this information on forums such as Reddit. Please keep in mind that the item weight and dimensions may differ from the package weight and dimensions (due to padding etc).
Once the item arrives at your new US address, you will need to prepare all the customs paperwork and documents. This will usually involve researching harmonization codes, preparing commercial invoices and shipper's declarations. Please keep in mind that these documents need to be prepared accurately to avoid lengthy customs delays.
Many US stores only accept US-based credit cards and debit cards. Occasionally some stores will take international credit cards but you may be required to verify your identification by providing a copy of your passport or Government ID.
Many US stores no longer accept and ship to parcel forwarding addresses due to reliability issues. Keep in mind that while you may have successfully submitted your order online, your order may be subsequently flagged and cancelled by the store. If your order does get cancelled, it can take up to 4 weeks for you to receive a full refund.
If there are any store issues, you will need to get in contact with the store directly to resolve the issue as the parcel forwarding service will not be able to assist. Please note that time zone differences may mean that you're unable to call customer support during business hours.
You will need to deal with customs issues yourself as the parcel forwarding company will not be able to assist.
Early adopters who would prefer a simpler option can bypass the above process by purchasing the Google Home through a shopping concierge service such as Big Apple Buddy. Big Apple Buddy will take care of the entire process for you for a small service fee. For more information on how you can purchase a Google Home through Big Apple Buddy, please visit www.bigappplebuddy.com.
Does the Google Home work in Australia?
The Google Home has almost all of the same capabilities in Australia as it does in the US. However, please note that you will need a standard travel adapter for usage as the Google Home only comes with a US power plug. Customers who have purchased the Google Home from the US through Big Apple Buddy have confirmed that they were able to use it in Australia without any issues.
What is the price of the Google Home in Australia?
The Google Home costs US$129 which converts to approximately AU$170 (please see www.xe.com for current exchange rates). The price of the Google Home might differ once it is officially released in Australia.
Simply follow the Google App wizard to complete set up of your new Google Home.
What is the Google Home good for?
Ask it to turn on Spotify or a particular playlist you're in the mood for.
Ask it to help you with every day things such as telling you the weather, helping you with calculations, set alarms, etc.
You can tell it to turn the lights on and off (if you have smart lights). Similarly, if you have smart thermostat, you can change the temperature.
Ask it what your daily events are – as it has direct access to your Google Calendar.
You can ask it to order you an Uber if you sync it with your Uber app.
You can ask it to help you with trivia questions as well as play fun games with it.
You can ask your Google Home to stream videos for you if it is connected to your Google Chromecast.
You can create shopping lists with it.
What is the price of the Google Home App?
The Google Home App is free for purchase from the Google Play Store and the Apple Store. Those with a Google Pixel will also be able to automatically control the Google Home from their phone homepage.
Is the Google Home dual voltage?
An unpleasant reality that every traveler knows about is that you cannot use every product in every country due to voltage concerns. For example, you would need a specific step down transformer to use most US hair dryers in Australia. Fortunately, the Google Home is dual voltage (100V-240V) so it can be used anywhere in the world. Because the Google Home is only available in the US, it will come with a US power plug. A standard travel adapter will therefore be required to use the Google Home outside of the US.
What colours does the Google Home come in?
What Google Home accessories are available?
At the moment, the only official Google Home accessory available is the colored base. However, Google Home accessories such as skin decals can be purchased from third party sellers on Amazon and eBay.
What are some popular Google Home commands?
Despite being in its early stages, the Google Home is still highly responsive to a variety of voice commands. You can ask Google Assistant anything from general questions to trivia to setting timers to controlling lights in your home. For a more comprehensive list of Google Home commands, we recommend checking out Cnet's blog post here.

River in Colorado Reopens as Toxic Plume Reaches Lake Powell
A river in Colorado that was turned sickly yellow by a mine waste spill reopened Friday after the now-diluted toxic plume passed through and reached Lake Powell — a huge reservoir 300 miles downstream that feeds the Colorado River and supplies water to the Southwest.
LINDSAY WHITEHURST, Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A river in Colorado that was turned sickly yellow by a mine waste spill reopened Friday after the now-diluted toxic plume passed through and reached Lake Powell — a huge reservoir 300 miles downstream that feeds the Colorado River and supplies water to the Southwest.
Water officials, however, said the plume that includes lead, arsenic and other heavy metals now presents little danger to users beyond Lake Powell — such as the city of Las Vegas — because the contaminants will further settle out and be diluted in the reservoir along the Utah-Arizona border.
"We're kind of at the end of the road," said Erica Gaddis, assistant director of the Utah Division of Water Quality.
The initial spill involved more than 3 million gallons of waste from the Gold King Mine into the Animus River, but that amount is dwarfed by the 10 trillion gallons of water in the Colorado River system, said Corey Enus, a spokesman for the Southern Nevada Waste Authority.
His agency estimates the wastewater will make it out of Lake Powell in about two weeks amid extra testing to monitor the contaminants.
The picturesque reservoir is a hotspot popular among tourists for fishing and other recreation.
Utah's state fish biologist Richard Hepworth said he's not expecting fish to die off, but there could be long-term effects on species such as striped bass.
"My concern is, can people still eat these fish?" he said.
The man-made reservoir doesn't have the same diversity of species seen in naturally occurring bodies of water, said Mark Anderson, aquatic ecologist at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
But some native fish, like the razorback sucker, are re-populating, and there are fears the recovery could be in danger because of the contaminants.
Aquatic ecologist Chuck Hawkins at Utah State University compared the long-term effects of the spill to smoking.
"If I smoke every day of my life, I may only live to 50 or 60 vs. 70 years," he said. "Even low concentrations when experienced over many days and weeks and years could have an effect."
U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, said the spill poses a serious threat to the environment and the economy. Bishop, who chairs the House Committee on Natural Resources, plans to visit Lake Powell on Monday.
Meanwhile, some businesses in the river-based economy near the spill site in Colorado might not recover this year, even with the re-opening of the Animas River to rafting and kayaking on Friday, said Tom O'Keeffe, owner of Durango Rafting Co.
"Your average soccer mom is going to be scared off," he said, adding that nervous rafters will probably just pick another river.
"My phone stopped ringing four or five days ago," he said.
In New Mexico, officials lifted a precautionary ban on water from private wells throughout the Animas River valley but kept in place warnings not to drink water from the river or give it to livestock.
Gov. Susana Martinez also formed a special team charged with monitoring the spill's long-term effects.
"As the river begins to clear up, there are still many questions left unanswered by the EPA," she said. "New Mexicans deserve to know the long-term effects this environmental catastrophe will have on our communities, our agriculture and our wildlife."
On the Navajo Nation, tribal officials continued to warn residents and farmers not to use water from the San Juan River, which was also polluted as a result of the spill.
The tribe has set up fresh water stations for residents and water was being delivered for farmers and livestock.

When was the last time you had to delete a bunch of photos or apps on your mobile device to clear out space? With the massive amount of data generated every day, it's easy to exhaust all the available storage on your phone or tablet.
And this problem is only getting worse. Industry trends suggest that device storage capacities are growing at 25 percent per year, but the amount of data being produced is increasing even faster — by around 50 percent a year, according to Microsoft. The software giant is looking to address this problem with SkyDrive, which will be updated in Windows 8.1 with the goal of giving you access to your files at all times, without taking up all your available storage or Internet bandwidth.
The updated service utilizes what Microsoft refers to as "placeholder files," which look and feel like normal folders and files with one major change — you don't download the full file until you access it. The placeholder file contains just a thumbnail image and some basic properties, making it significantly smaller than its actual size. This means that 100GB of files in SkyDrive will use up less than 5GB of storage on the hard drive of your Windows 8.1 device, Mona Akmal.
"I have a Pictures folder in SkyDrive that's 5.6GB in size but it's only taking up 185MB on the local disk," Akmal wrote.
Another major change to SkyDrive in Windows 8.1 deals with offline access to files. With the SkyDrive app, you'll now be able to mark any folders or files you want remain available when you lose Internet connectivity.
Any edits you make to a file while offline will automatically be synced back up to SkyDrive when you regain a connection. For added convenience, all the files you open or edit on your device will automatically be marked for offline access.
As a reminder, new SkyDrive users get 7GB of storage for free. After that, an additional 20GB costs $10 per year, while 50GB will set you back $25 a year, and 100GB costs $50 a year.
We sat down with Angus Logan, group product marketing manager for SkyDrive (pictured below), last week to get the scoop on the most important changes to the online storage service in Windows 8.1.

Q: PWM of Diaphragm pump I'm pretty new in this area so sorry if this question seems foolish.
I have a 12V 20Lpm Diaphragm pump that draws around 18 Amps.  I'm using it on a home built herbicide spray system to help deal with the Spanish Heath that has fully taken over a good portion of my 50 acres.
I am really happy with the pumps performance though it is a little bit of over kill at 20LPM.  I am toying with the idea of making a PWM circuit to control the flow.
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this type of idea on a Diaphragm pump?  I'm going to make up a pulse generator circuit out of a couple of 555 timers just to get me started.  I was thinking about making it run from 100Hz to 1Khz with the duty cycle adjustable from 10-100%.  I haven't been able to Google much about controlling flow with this technique and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on the best frequency to drive the pump at or even advise if the idea is viable?  Perhaps I am better off controlling the flow with a valve at the output in which case I have posted to the wrong forum.
Best regards
Adrian.

A: Raising the frequency will not help you. Even at 100 Hz, the mechanical inertia of the motor will make it run smoothly. The only difference will probably be slightly more heat being generated, as the power transistor is switching ON/OFF more frequently.
Duty cycle modulation seems quite doable. The only slight problem could be that the load on the motor is not constant - at the max excursion of the membrane, probably the pressure on the motor is higher. So, at low duty cycle, the motor might refuse to turn, while still consuming energy. You can probably avoid that with a minimum duty cycle.

By Patrick J. Wright
Left to right: Patrick Wright, Adam Neuman and Derk Wilcox
Living by principles can often lead one to make choices that can be difficult and challenging. Brighton High School teacher Adam Neuman made an extremely challenging choice when he decided to take a sabbatical from teaching so that he could join the military and serve in Afghanistan. So it should come as no surprise that Neuman was willing to stand up to the Michigan Education Association when it attempted to violate his freedoms under Michigan's right-to-work law.
Neuman attended Brighton High School as a student and eventually returned there to teach civics and Advanced Placement government. In 2008, at the age of 34, two things motivated him to join the Army Reserves. First, he had known a first responder who had died in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Second, some of his former students were being called back into service under the military's stop-loss program. In 2011, he served in combat during the Kandahar surge where one of his duties was to carry fallen soldiers to the plane that returned them home. His time in Afghanistan gave him a strong appreciation for liberty.
Another thing Neuman took from his time in the Army was an appreciation for that institution's unwillingness to tolerate incompetence. In contrast, he believes that the MEA and his local teacher union protect ineffective teachers. Further, the National Education Association had taken a public position against military involvement in Afghanistan.
Thus, when presented with the opportunity to resign during the MEA's so-called "August Window," he did so and as a consequence of Michigan's right-to-work law's passage expected that to be the end of the union attempting to collect money from him. The union had other ideas.
In its September 2014 contract with the school district, the Brighton Education Association sought release time for its president. Release time allows a union official to perform union business instead of teaching while still receiving a full salary from the district. In March 2011, the Mackinac Center estimated that this practice cost taxpayers $2.7 million in the schools alone. Surprisingly, given that release time is in essence a gift to the union at taxpayer expense, the practice is not illegal. But the manner in which the union and district agreed to implement it in Brighton's collective bargaining agreement was. The agreement violated both right-to-work and a law preventing school districts from administering paycheck withdrawals for the union.
The district sought to ameliorate the effect of the release provision by having the union pay for any time used above a certain threshold. The contract authorized the union president to receive a full salary with a maximum teaching load of four hours. The union president was given an hour a day to perform union business. Any overage on this amount was to be paid by the union through a payroll deduction from all teachers. This method meant that teachers who resigned from the union under right-to-work would be forced to provide funds to the union.
The Mackinac Center Legal Foundation filed a lawsuit on Adam's behalf on Oct. 15, 2014. The case received significant publicity. Adam and I appeared on "The Frank Beckmann Show" on WJR AM760. The case was a front-page article on FoxNews.com and also made Reason.com.
But, perhaps the most interesting media coverage was from the local newspaper, the Livingston Daily Press & Argus. It got a feisty quote from the Brighton Education Association president, Ellen Lafferty, who brazenly claimed the lawsuit was based on erroneous facts. She stated: "It would behoove Mr. Neuman and the Mackinac Center to check their facts before filing and publicizing this lawsuit that is 100 percent untrue." Lafferty might want to hesitate in the future before offering legal analysis.
Almost immediately, the union and school district began work on changing the collective bargaining agreement. Perhaps in an attempt to allow Ms. Lafferty to save face, the language of the collective bargaining agreement was changed to comply with the law and Neuman's suit through an Oct. 20, 2014, "Confidential HR/LR Memo." That document was signed on behalf of the district by the superintendent and by Ellen Lafferty on behalf of the union.
While Lafferty's actions amuse, Neumans's actions should inspire. He is someone who has repeatedly been willing to live up to his principles, whether that involves dangerous military service or merely standing up and drawing attention to lawless behavior by the union. After the case was dismissed, Neuman explained "I just didn't want to be forced to pay for an organization I'm not part of."

In order to achieve this, your property plan ought to have a important theme or concept as the core of the design plan. As you walk by way of a house like this, the areas feel proper since they are organized in a method that is sensible. Try to consider how you need your rooms to fit collectively and make the spaces move in an orderly method. The vitality efficient residence plans are utilized to save lots of and restore vitality in the current day world where vitality sources are quick getting depleted in a method or the other. You can save even more by handling smaller duties like painting and putting in the storage door opener.

In this text, I will provide you with some great ideas on how to save lots of large by providing your personal set of storage building plans on your storage building challenge. However, even if you are not planning on constructing by yourself, you may merely simply rent the job out to an area contractor.
With right now's tough economy there are all sorts of out of labor contractors, dual master suite house plans framers and construction workers that may take nearly any job they'll get their hands on. Cutting out the middleman and supplying the plans and materials can prevent tons of of dollars! Once you've got gotten your bid, you then tell the contractors who're submitting estimates for the job that you'll be supplying the materials and units of plans. If in case you have a set of plans that comes with a fabric record, you may go to a lumberyard yourself and worth the supplies. Again although, all of it starts with a detailed set of plans so you recognize what it is you can take on yourself. There are effectively over one million new housing "begins" within the United States each year, however solely a small fraction of those homes are customized. Nowadays, all buildings and houses have one efficient and vitality saving plan in motion.
These homes have insulated roofs and foundations. One that I've used as a foundation of many plans is the basic "4 sq. plan." The main shape of the house is a sq., with an axis that acts as a connector. The stairwell could curve, or go off to the side of the center axis. The vitality environment friendly home plans though could also be costly than the conventional homes, in the long term, it proves to be far less power consuming and is a value saving plan. Green house plans have vitality saving appliance choices like solar panels in addition to simple design techniques and good exterior wall framing. These properties are made with sustainable and renewable supplies, water recycling strategies and power generation strategies. Probably the most direct and simple strategies of organizing a plan is usually the best. Other organizing ideas are extra complex, and could also be the proper one for you. A house may be elaborate and expensive, but with out a plan with integrity and unity, it won't feel proper.
Chances are you'll find larger room in the rear that nonetheless matches in with the organized plan. Take a look at a typical home plan. Your home has a significant affect on you and your loved ones. Design your own home with a purposeful plan in order that your property turns into a perfect match for your loved ones. These are efficient vitality efficient house plans that may be put in action to go inexperienced and save the world. Green dwelling plans have change into one of the most wanted residence making plans nowadays. You want to feel settled, content material and comfortable in your house. It is not just an object, it is your private home. The main rooms of the home are in every of the nook squares, with a hallway and stairwell as the center performing as a connection between rooms on the same floor. Solar panels are built over the terrace or open the place photo voltaic cookers are installed for cooking with the vitality heat derived from the sun through these panels.

Ted Nugent joins Rage, Jimi Hendrix's "Machine Gun" cover in the works
Posted by Metal Riot on Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 12:40 PM (PST)
Citing Zack de la Rocha's foot dragging insistence on inactivity with one of the biggest and most socially relevant bands of all time, Rage Against The Machine have been forced to move forward…with Ted Nugent.
"Dude, Zack just wants to make a rap song cameo like once every four years and, y'know, a lot of political shit has been crazy the last fifteen or however long it has been since we made an album. I mean, he even recorded with Trent Reznor and DJ Shadow and where is all of THAT stuff?" shrugs drummer Brad Wilk. "And with Nick Menza in Sabbath now, I need a steady gig. Like, I was just playing fill in for the Smashing Pumpkins, bro. Shit's kinda fucked up. What else are we supposed to do?"
When pressed over if they think long time fans might be confused that Nugent could send a mixed message, "bi-partisanship" was mentioned by RATM's publicist."We think he has cross-over appeal, way more than Chris Cornell ever did."
"Finally oppressed whites will have a voice through the music of rock n' roll that was stolen from Chuck Berry," says an ecstatic Nugent. "It's time to take the power back!"
"When Zack said he was doing that "One Day As A Lion" project even we didn't think he meant actually ONE day," adds Wilk.
With Obama a year away from leaving office and Hillary's email-gate doing Ted's job for him, Nugent feels it seems like he could relax and reach across the aisle a bit finally. "Shit, Ted Cruz was born in Canada so I guess the time has come to relax a little bit.," said the Nuge after downing a unicorn/moose hybrid with a spear. "I'm honestly a little bit tired of being the "old crazy guy". In a way, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation spend more time in the woods than I ever have and that's to be admired. And obviously discrimination in America is never going away, so I might as well prove that I can rap better than any Muslim mongrel. Besides, Obama trying to reach across the aisle instead of swatting us GOP like bugs when he had a mandate after we tricked y'all into going into Iraq just led to us running Congress and the Senate, haha."
When we tried to reach Tom Morrello for comment he just tweeted at us: "Fuck it."
Bassist Tim Commerford was too busy climbing shit to comment.

Home > Article > Harry Hamlin on His Return to His First Love: the Theatre
Harry Hamlin on His Return to His First Love: the Theatre
By REGINA ROBBINS
Thu Dec 5, 2019 •
Acting • 1 comment Share This
"My social life must have been really bad at the time because I read the script immediately!"
The TV star plays three different characters in One November Yankee
Harry Hamlin initially starred in One November Yankee seven years ago, but he admits he was not writer-director Joshua Ravetch's first choice. Back in 2012, Ravetch had hoped to entice his friend, the late Robert Forster, to headline the play's world premiere in Los Angeles. The Oscar nominee was unavailable, but he recommended Ravetch reach out to Hamlin since they'd worked together previously and Forster thought the actor would be a good fit for the project. "Josh tried to find me, but my agent was very reluctant to send the play along," Hamlin says. "He finally sent it to me on a Friday evening with no explanation whatsoever. My social life must have been really bad at the time because I read it immediately!"
Hamlin was so impressed with the script that he wanted to talk to Ravetch right away, but couldn't get a hold of his own agent. So he turned to the internet for help, tracking down Ravetch via LinkedIn. "I messaged him and said, 'Are you the same guy that wrote One November Yankee?'" Hamlin recalls. "Then I went over to his house that weekend." Eight days later, Hamlin was on stage opposite M*A*S*H's Loretta Swit in the two-hander at L.A.'s NoHo Arts Center.
Although Hamlin may be best known for his film and TV work—a hunky demigod in the original Clash of the Titans, a hotshot attorney on L.A. Law, a straight-talking exec on Mad Men—he trained as a stage actor at Yale, and earned his MFA at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre. Throughout his career, he's done regional theatre as well as three shows on Broadway, notably a 2007 stint as slippery lawyer Billy Flynn in Chicago opposite his real-life wife Lisa Rinna as Roxy Hart. "My first love has always been the theatre," he says.
One November Yankee, currently having its New York premiere at 59E59 Theaters, marks his return to the NYC stage after 12 years. This time around, Stefanie Powers (of Hart to Hart fame) is his costar, and he says he's grateful to be doing the piece again because "I love this play." A trio of tales about three different sets of siblings linked across time and space by a small airplane crash, One November Yankee offers six juicy parts for two actors as these disparate brothers and sisters bicker and bond, sometimes hilariously, often poignantly.
Stefanie Powers and Harry Hamlin in 'One November Yankee'
The duo performed the show at Wilmington's Delaware Theatre Company briefly earlier this fall before bringing it Off Broadway. "New York audiences are very sophisticated," Hamlin says. "They're coming right along with the play—we can hear that. It goes by unbelievably fast for us on stage. We start and, before you know it, we're in the dressing room. There's not a moment to breathe, racing from one scene to the next."
Hamlin says Ravetch has made some updates to the script since the L.A. production because "a lot's happened in the world since then. The play actually seems more relevant now because of what's going on in our political lives. I think it also works better here in New York; it has more of an Eastern mentality."
In addition to the exciting challenge of playing three wildly different characters in just 95 intermissionless minutes, Hamlin appreciates that the show celebrates the importance of staying connected to family—even when they drive you crazy. For two decades, the actor made sure never to be away from his two daughters for more than 10 days at a time. "My priority was to put the kids to bed every night," he says. "Now they're gone, so I can travel the world. I can go on location to do movies, I can come to New York and do theatre. I never lost the itch."
Regina Robbins is a writer, director, native New Yorker and Jeopardy! champion. She has worked with several NYC-based theatre companies and is currently a Core Company Member with Everyday Inferno Theatre.
