Mostly Shakespeare
This blog started out as Michael Doherty's Personal Library, and it was reviews of books that normally don't get reviewed: basically porn and those insane cult books. It was all just a bit of fun, you understand. But both porn and cult propaganda get dull rather quickly. And when I embarked on a three-year Shakespeare study, Shakespeare basically took over, which is a good thing.
Shakespeare References in Openly Bob
Why am I still surprised when I come across Shakespeare references in nearly every book I read? I don't know. But there are a few references in Bob Smith's Openly Bob. The first is to King Lear: "I was still enthusiastic and thought that it was possible to take an undistinguished line of dialogue and bring my unique interpretation to it. Whenever this insidious thought occurs to an actor, he should, paraphrasing King Lear, always remember: That way badness lies" (p. 60). Bob Smith then writes, "I felt reasonably confident about my audition because I had recently started taking acting lessons, but I had no aspirations of Shakespearean grandeur" (p. 61).
The next reference is to an anecdote that has come up several times in the past week. Bob Smith writes: "He even has an aesthetic good word for starlings ('I love their iridescent color'), a species despised by American birders since 1888, when they were introduced here from England by a kook who wanted to establish in our country every species of bird mentioned in Shakespeare's plays" (p. 93). (Just yesterday I watched a video about the purple martin, which also mentioned this odd Shakespeare-related story.) The final Shakespeare reference comes in the chapter on couples therapy. Bob Smith writes: "We can blame the overuse of jargon on the Fathers of Psychotherapy, Freud and Jung. They were the Shakespeares of Psychobabble, who originated the id, anima, and the Oedipus Complex" (p. 181).
Openly Bob was published in 1997 by Rob Weisbach Books.

Titus Andronicus (Independent Shakespeare Company 2018 Production) Theatre Review
I have come to expect great things from the Independent Shakespeare Company. Still, no matter how high my expectations might be, this company routine exceeds them. And so it is with their current production of Titus Andronicus, William Shakespeare's most violent play. Going in, I expected some excellent performances, moments of levity (this company is adept in finding humor even in tragedy), and a good deal of blood (all of which I got), but what I wasn't expecting were moments when I was left astounded, and other moments when I had to hold back tears. This production is full of captivating performances. The entire cast is strong, but there are several remarkable performances, including those by Evan Lewis Smith as Aaron, Katie Powers-Faulk as Lavinia, William Elsman as Saturninus, and David Melville in the title role.
The set is basically the same as for A Midsummer Night's Dream, since the two productions are running in repertory, with the only changes being that the colorful strips of cloth are gone, and instead of colorful apple boxes, there are several metal-framed tables set up on either side of the stage. Also, there is a basin on a stand upstage center, with water actually running from the bowl down the two levels of the stand. The pre-show music choices include The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter." But no one in this play is going to find shelter, at least not for long.
When the play begins, Saturninus (William Elsman) and Bassianus (Daniel Jimenez) are on opposite sides of the audience, speaking directly to their separate factions. The audience has been divided into three parts, one part in favor of Saturninus, one part for Bassianus (I was part of this group), and one part in the middle for Titus Andronicus. It's a wonderful way to get the audience immediately involved in what may be an unfamiliar play to many. When Marcus (Richard Azurdia) enters, he takes center stage. When he tells Saturninus and Bassianus, "dismiss your followers," the audience does not leave, of course (though there is a bit of laughter as those in the crowd realize they're being dismissed). Titus Andronicus (David Melville) enters from the audience with his prisoners. Rather than using a coffin, Titus' sons carry urns that contain the remains of Titus' other sons slain in battle. Tamora (Sabra Williams) goes down to her knees when begging for the lives of her sons, and though she without question becomes a villain in this story, at this point, because of Williams' impassioned performance, we really care for her, and many in the audience clearly side with her. Stage smoke is used backstage to signify the fire into which Tamora's son Alarbus is thrown (in one of the few moments where the violence is done off stage).
Titus checks in with the audience before delivering his lines about not accepting the crown. Saturninus grabs Lavinia, clearly against her will, when he says he'll make her his empress. The action then moves so quickly that Tamora is as stunned as the audience is when Saturninus suddenly chooses her as his wife, a nice moment. Saturninus is delightfully slimy in this production. And I love how later Saturninus becomes unhinged, right at the time that Titus pretends to be. Saturninus is a weak and whiny and paranoid leader, reminding many of us of a certain dolt who is currently pretending to the president of the United States. And like that certain individual, there is humor in Saturninus' character because of his many flaws, and because of the way they are so pronounced without his seeming to be aware of them, but he is simultaneously frightening because of this.
The characters engage in an interesting dance, a circle around Aaron (Evan Lewis Smith), then exit before he begins his first big speech at the beginning of Act II. Aaron is charismatic, even mesmerizing, as he delivers this speech, and so we can see easily why the queen of the Goths would choose him as a lover. Their relationship is intriguing. When Tamora enters, there is a flirtatious air to her voice, and she then crawls across the stage to him. She becomes even more excited when he mentions that vengeance is in his heart, and after he says revenge is in his head, they kiss. And Aaron becomes more devilish as the play goes on, perhaps in part because of this encouragement from Tamora. After chopping off Titus' left hand, he uses it to scratch his own beard while telling the audience of his plans to bring Titus the severed heads of his sons. This is a man who has gone round the bend into dark territory, but takes such twisted delight in it that at times we cannot help but be drawn to him.
Aaron hides his coffer of gold under an audience member's blanket, after rejecting the stage's trap door as a better hiding spot, leaving that door open. That trap door then becomes the pit that Tamora has Bassianus' body thrown into. Bassianus' death is bloody. But that is nothing compared with what is to become of Lavinia. We in the audience are uncomfortable as Tamora's two sons surround her, and as she begs Tamora for death rather than to be given to these two scoundrels. After one of the sons carries her off stage, the company gives us a moment of humor, as Aaron leads two of Titus' sons through the audience, commenting on the food that some folks are eating. It's a needed and appreciated breath after the intense scene with Lavinia, and before the next even more powerful scene. When Lavinia returns, it is through an upstage door that was not previously used, a nice touch. She crawls, her dress bloody, and is taunted by Chiron (Kelvin Morales) and Demetrius (Jack Lancaster), who follow her. When she opens her mouth to speak, blood spills out. Even though those of us familiar with the play expect this, it is still shocking. But it is the moment when Marcus tries to comfort her and she flinches from his touch that is most heartbreaking and captivating. Katie Powers-Faulk does a tremendous job here.
Another fantastic moment follows, when Titus kneels downstage while his sons are in front of the judges. Titus is in tears, and the reactions of his two sons to this sight are incredible. We see the surprise and concern on their faces. Clearly, they've never seen their father like this, which is heart-wrenching for two reasons. In addition to Titus' despair, what gets us is that his sons never saw expressions of his love for them before. And all that is shown in just their expressions. And, while it is they who seem to face their deaths in this moment, their concern is for their father. The sons and judges exit behind Titus, so that Titus is left alone on stage until Lucius enters. David Melville is incredible in this scene with Lucius, and also when Lavinia and Marcus enter. He uses water from the basin to clean Lavinia's face, a desperate attempt to somehow clear away the pain.
Tamora wears a mask when pretending to be Revenge, and her sons wear hoods and masks when pretending to be Rapine and Murder. I love that all three try to hide their faces from Marcus, believing that anyone besides Titus would see right through their disguises. But of course, Titus is no idiot, and he plays them while they believe to be playing him. David Melville is again absolutely fantastic in the scene when he tells the sons of his plan. And the cutting of the throats of these two rapists gets a cheer from the audience. This production does not hold back on the blood, and the draining of their throats looks great. For the strange banquet scene, Titus enters wearing a white apron and chef's hat, drawing laughter from the audience. And his matter-of-fact delivery of the line "Why, there they are both, baked in that pie" is wonderful. The performance ended at 10:15 p.m., and it took everyone a moment to catch his or her breath before getting up to leave.
Titus Andronicus was directed by Melissa Chalsma. There is one thirty-minute intermission, coming at the end of Act III Scene i. Yes, the intermission is longer than usual, to allow time for the stage to be mopped and scrubbed. Though the show is free to attend, donations are encouraged, with cast members carrying donation buckets after the performance. There is also a merchandise booth where audience members can purchase T-shirts and sweatshirts. By the way, in 2010 I began seeing as many Shakespeare productions as possible, with the hope – of course – of seeing all thirty-seven plays (no, I'm not counting The Two Noble Kinsmen). Titus Andronicus was number twenty-six for me.
Shakespeare References in The Academy Awards Handbook
The Academy Awards Handbook, written by John Harkness, is essentially a list of Oscar winners, but also contains some thoughts on each of the awards ceremonies from the beginning up through 1994 (when that god-awful Forrest Gump won Best Picture). So the Shakespeare references are actually references to film versions, not to the plays. So I'll just go through the years, and include the relevant films.
A Midsummer Night's Dream – nominated for best picture
A Midsummer Night's Dream – winner for cinematography (Hal Mohr)
A Midsummer Night's Dream – winner for editing (Ralph Dawson)
In the notes for that year, John Harkness writes: "Write-in votes were again allowed, which led Jack Warner to circulate a memo to Academy members at Warner Brothers asking them to ignore the nominations when necessary and vote a solid Warner Brothers ticket. It worked. Hal Mohr, the cinematographer of A Midsummer Night's Dream, became the only write-in winner in Oscar history" (p. 41).
Romeo And Juliet – nominated for best picture
Romeo And Juliet – nominated for lead actress (Norma Shearer)
Romeo And Juliet – nominated for supporting actor (Basil Rathbone)
Henry V – nominated for best picture
Henry V – nominated for lead actor (Laurence Olivier)
Henry V – winner of honorary Oscar, to Laurence Olivier
Hamlet – winner of best picture
Hamlet – nominated for director (Laurence Olivier)
Hamlet – winner for lead actor (Laurence Olivier)
Hamlet – nominated for supporting actress (Jean Simmons)
Hamlet – winner for art direction for a black and white film (Roger K. Furse)
Hamlet – winner for costume design for a black and white film (Roger K. Furse)
In the notes on this year, John Harkness writes: "Although no campaign was mounted for Laurence Olivier's Hamlet, even after Sir Larry had won the New York Film Critics prize as the best actor, that didn't stop the nominations and another moment of that curious Hollywood schizophrenia that combines rampant Anglophilia with rabid Anglophobia, as Hamlet picked up six nominations and The Red Shoes grabbed five" (p. 102).
There is also a photo of Laurence Olivier from the film.
In the notes for this year, John Harkness writes: "'The only honest way to find the best actor would be to let everybody play Hamlet and let the best man win. Of course, you'd get some pretty funny Hamlets that way.' So spoke Humphrey Bogart, campaigning for his Oscar nomination for The African Queen" (p. 114).
Julius Caesar – nominated for best picture
Julius Caesar – nominated for lead actor (Marlon Brando)
Julius Caesar – winner for art direction for a black and white film (Cedric Gibbons and Edward Carfagno)
The Merry Wives Of Windsor Overture – winner for one-reel short subject film
In a section of Oscar trivia included in the pages on this year, John Harkness writes of instances in which actors are nominated for playing the same character in different movies. One example is: "Henry V: Laurence Olivier (1944) and Kenneth Branagh (1989) – both also nominated for directing" (p. 130).
Richard III – nominated for lead actor (Laurence Olivier)
West Side Story – winner of best picture (adaptation of Romeo And Juliet)
West Side Story – winner for directors (Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins)
West Side Story – winner for supporting actor (George Chakiris)
West Side Story – winner for supporting actress (Rita Moreno)
West Side Story – winner for cinematography for a color film (Daniel P. Fapp)
West Side Story – winner for editing (Thomas Stanford)
West Side Story – winner for best score for a musical (Saul Chaplin, Johnny Green, Sid Ramin and Irwin Kostal)
West Side Story – winner for art direction for a color film (Boris Leven)
West Side Story – winner for costume design for a color film (Irene Sharaff)
West Side Story – winner for sound
In the notes for this year, John Harkness writes: "West Side Story becomes the last double-digit Oscar winner, and becomes the only film with two directors ever to win best director. While there have been several occasions where people who have never met shared Oscars in the writing categories – where writer B rewrote writer A's script and both of them got credit – Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins shared the directing Oscar after Wise fired Robbins, whom he felt took far too long dealing with the dancers after Wise had the cameras ready to roll. When the two directors came to the podium, each was conspicuous in his absence from the other's thank you speech" (p. 164).
Othello – nominated for lead actor (Laurence Olivier)
Othello – nominated for supporting actor (Frank Finlay)
Othello – nominated for supporting actress (Joyce Redman)
Othello – nominated for supporting actress (Maggie Smith)
Romeo And Juliet – nominated for director (Franco Zeffirelli)
Romeo And Juliet – winner for cinematography (Pasqualino De Santis)
Romeo And Juliet – winner for costume design (Danilo Donati)
The Dresser – nominated for best picture (related to King Lear)
The Dresser – nominated for director (Peter Yates)
The Dresser – nominated for lead actor (Tom Courtenay)
The Dresser – nominated for lead actor (Albert Finney)
To Be Or Not To Be – nominated for supporting actor (Charles Durning) (related to Hamlet)
Ran – nominated for director (Akira Kurosawa) (adaptation of King Lear)
Ran – winner for costume design (Emi Wada)
Henry V – nominated for director (Kenneth Branagh)
Henry V – nominated for lead actor (Kenneth Branagh)
Henry V – winner for costume design (Phillis Dalton)
The Academy Awards Handbook was originally published in 1994 by Pinnacle Books. The edition I read was the updated 1996 edition.
A Midsummer Night's Dream (Independent Shakespeare Company 2018 Production) Theatre Review
These days many of us feel a strong urge to escape into a dream world, as reality is too ugly, too harsh, too… well, too devoid of magic. So it's the perfect time to visit the world of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, one of the two plays that the Independent Shakespeare Company is performing at Griffith Park (along with Titus Andronicus). It had been six years since I last saw this company put on this play, and the troupe has changed a bit in the intervening years. As with the earlier production, most of the cast is in modern dress, with the faeries in more period costume. Setting up the modern atmosphere are pop songs which play through the speakers as the crowd arrives (songs like "You Make My Dream" by Hall & Oates, and "Dream A Little Dream Of Me"). The set is fairly simple, with multi-colored strips of cloth hanging in two corners of the stage, and a series of six apple boxes (painted green, pink and beige) off to the sides.
A little after 7 p.m., the actors playing Quince, Snout and Starveling welcome the crowd and give the announcements in character, reminding the audience that there is no smoking and to watch out for wild animals (and for faeries). Then the play begins with Theseus (Evan Lewis Smith) and Hippolyta (Aisha Kabia) preparing for their nuptials, with Starveling (Daniel Jimenez) taking measurements of Hippolyta's dress, a nice touch. When Hermia, Demetrius and Lysander enter, it is immediately clear that Hermia and Lysander belong together, as their costumes are of a similar color. Lysander (Xavi Moreno) also sports sunglasses and has something of a swagger and attitude. You can hear that in his delivery of lines like "You have her father's love, Demetrius." Hippolyta, in contrast to Theseus, sees that Lysander and Hermia should be allowed to be together, and she reacts strongly to Theseus' "Either to die the death," and that reaction leads to his "or to abjure/Forever the society of men." Then, when Theseus bids her "Come, my Hippolyta," she walks away from him, forcing him to call to her, "What cheer, my love?" (Later, when Theseus changes his mind about the couples, Hippolyta kisses him happily.) Helena (Julia Aks) wears a blue dress, a color similar to that of Demetrius' costume, again showing which people belong together. Interestingly, the design at the base of Helena's dress is the same as that of Hermia's, another nice touch drawing comparisons between the two women.
Modern music is sprinkled throughout the production, as when the mechanicals enter to "Come On Eileen." (Later, when Titania bids Bottom to sing, he complies with a bit of Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?") Quince (William Elsman) has their script on a laptop computer. Bottom (David Melville) has something of an ego, a character that plays particularly well here in Los Angeles. On Quince's "You can play no part but Pyramus," Bottom throws his script down and stalks off the stage, leading Quince to entreat him to return. At one point, Bottom speaks some of Quince's lines, finishing the lines with him, showing he thinks himself in charge. The others then feed Bottom's ego by asking for his advice on how to present the wall. The only odd bit of casting is Bukola Ogunmola as Flute. She is excellent, but since she is female, some of the humor is lost when Flute is asked to be Thisby in the play. At the end of the mechanicals' first scene, there are some modern references thrown in, about staying hydrated and so on. Bukola Ogunmola also plays Peaseblossom, and is given the Fairy's speech from the beginning of Act II. She delivers that famous speech ("Over hill, over dale…") from within the audience. This company often makes good use of the audience space during its productions, and that is especially true of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Titania and Oberon enter from different sides of the audience. This production follows the usual casting of one actor to play both Oberon and Theseus, and one actor to play both Titania and Hippolyta. I appreciate that casting, because it invites us to draw parallels between the two royal couples.
When we first meet Puck (Kelvin Morales), he enters from a trap door in the stage. He later appears on the floor between Oberon's legs. And when he exits, he runs off through the audience. The Demetrius and Helena chase also begins in the audience. When Demetrius (Jose Acain) tells Helena, "Tempt not too much the hatred of my spirit," there is kindness and pity in his voice, which is another nice touch. Interestingly, Helena's line "We should be woo'd and were not made to woo" gets a huge applause from the audience. She is hilarious later in the scene where she wakes Lysander. When Hermia (Katie Powers-Faulk) and Lysander enter through the audience, there are some brief modern jokes about cell phone reception. And when Hermia bids Lysander to lie farther away, he picks a spot among the crowd to make his bed, again making great use of the audience space and getting the crowd involved in the action. Puck, also in the audience, asks for help in finding the Athenian.
There is a lot of good physical humor in this production, as when Lysander and Demetrius are crawling over each other in their efforts to get to Helena. Helena treats them both as dogs, having them go fetch, which is an interesting touch, as earlier Helena has that line about being Demetrius' spaniel. So here we see that Helena is in a position of more strength. Hermia reaches to her lowest register vocally for the line "How low am I?" It's a wonderful and surprising moment. Lysander carries Hermia out into the crowd and leaves her there. And it is Oberon that causes Hermia to utter her line, "I am amaz'd and know not what to say." Stage smoke is used when Puck leads the lovers in circles. Interestingly, after Puck removes the ass head from Bottom, he dons it himself, as all the faeries engage in a dance. In addition to Puck, Kelvin Morales plays Philostrate, a nice bit of double casting, keeping the relationships intact, as he serves Theseus as Puck serves Oberon. Plus, when he as Philostrate mentions that he saw the play rehearsed, we think of how Puck watched the mechanicals' rehearsal. This, of course, also adds to the dreamlike quality of the entire production.
The mechanicals' performance, as you might guess, is hilarious. For it, Quince is dressed in black, playing, as he does, the stage manager. At Theseus' request, the mechanicals avoid a prologue, and instead deliver a song. Again, the production chooses to use modern music, the song chosen being "Stand By Me" (and actually a really good rendition). As their performance moves seamlessly into a celebration involving all the characters, we hear Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" (and yes, the actors do the "So good, so good" part), leading to a dance controlled by Puck. All but Puck exit so that he remains alone for that famous final speech of the play. The performance ended just before 10 p.m. It was completely enjoyable, a wonderful break from reality. If we are lucky, we might be able to carry some of its magic into our daytime realities.
A Midsummer Night's Dream was directed by Melissa Chalsma, and is playing in repertory with Titus Andronicus through September 2nd. Check the Independent Shakespeare Company's website for specific dates. There is one fifteen-minute intermission, coming at the end of Act III scene i. Though the show is free to attend, donations are encouraged, with cast members carrying donation buckets after the performance. There is also a merchandise booth where audience members can purchase T-shirts and sweatshirts.
The Merry Wives Of Windsor (Shakespeare By The Sea 2018 Production) Theatre Review
The story behind the writing of The Merry Wives Of Windsor is that Queen Elizabeth enjoyed The First Part Of King Henry The Fourth (which I think is probably the funniest of Shakespeare's plays) and The Second Part Of King Henry The Fourth, particularly the character of Falstaff, and asked (commanded) Shakespeare to write another play depicting that character in love. The result was The Merry Wives Of Windsor, in which Falstaff woos two married women for their money. It is a light and sometimes goofy comedy with quite a bit of room for physical play, and it is one of the two plays that the theatre company Shakespeare By The Sea is currently performing (along with The Winter's Tale).
Last night the company brought its production of The Merry Wives Of Windsor to Los Encinos State Historic Park in Encino. Of the various parks throughout the area that Shakespeare By The Sea performs, this might be my favorite. It is comfortable and pleasant, and the view of the stage is good from basically anywhere you place your blanket. Plus, there are clean bathrooms. Before the performance, artistic director Lisa Coffi and cast members Ellen Girvin and Samantha Winters conducted a question and answer session with the audience, a special treat they do on Saturdays, and they did mention the story about Queen Elizabeth requesting the play. Someone asked how the company chooses which two plays they do each summer. A good question. Of course, there has to be interest in a particular play, both by the company and the audience. Money is lost when they do lesser known works, which is a shame. One summer they did King John and All's Well That Ends Well, which was great for Shakespeare fans, but didn't draw in the casual theatregoers. Merry Wives has a broader appeal, and is certainly not a complicated play.
This production starts with most of the company on stage, establishing a playful, cheerful atmosphere, with drinking and merriment. Soon most of the players leave, until only Justice Shallow (Glen Eaton) and Sir Hugh Evan (Jonathan Fisher) remain, the only two characters to be dressed in darker, somber clothing, an indication that they are in opposition to those of a more festive air. The young man they intend to help, however, Abraham Slender (Kieran Flanagan), is dressed in bright green and purple, making their alliance seem a bit shaky from the outset. The costumes in this production go far in helping establish the relationships as well as the attitudes of the characters. For example, Master and Mistress Page are both dressed in green, while Master and Mistress Ford are in red and gold. Interestingly, Sir John Falstaff (Tom Killam) is also in red and gold, as he tries to take the place of Master Ford. (Of course, he also tries to woo Mistress Page, but he puts much more effort and time in with Mistress Ford.) Master Ford is a jealous man, and Falstaff is somewhat envious of him for his riches, so there that further connection between the two characters, highlighted by the choice of clothing. On "her husband's purse," Falstaff reaches into his own purse for the letters to Mistress Ford and Mistress Page, a nice touch indicating that his purse merely contains the hopeful plot for obtaining money rather than money itself.
The scene where Mistress Page (Bridgid M. Rose) and Mistress Ford (Ellen Girvin) compare letters and devise their plot is wonderful. The execution of their device is even more enjoyable, as when they speak in a deliberately loud and exaggerated manner for the benefit of the hidden Falstaff, and can barely contain their mirth. At one point, Mistress Ford goes even beyond what she seemingly intended, stopping herself suddenly, a delightful moment. And Falstaff's entrance is hilarious, when he nervously asks to see the laundry basket. Mistress Page and Mistress Ford are almost in tears from laughter, hiding their faces from Falstaff. And of course there is plenty of laughter from the audience during this, and when the men struggle to lift the now overladen laundry basket. The women certainly have the most fun of any characters in this play. It is really their world, with the men hoping to catch up to them. When Master Ford (Robert O'Hare) disguises himself as Master Brook, he dons a somewhat goofy blond wig, showing that his jealousy is something to be laughed at. Then when he faces Falstaff with his own plot, he puts particular emphasis on the name "Ford" in the line "There is a gentlewoman in this town, her husband's name is Ford," pausing slightly, looking, maybe even hoping, for some sign from Falstaff that would indicate that his wife has been untrue. We know, of course, that Ford's wife is honorable, and so we can laugh at the poor man's unnecessary antics. I particularly love the moment when Ford leaps into the laundry basket to search for Falstaff, a great, unexpected action.
Doctor Caius (B.J. Allman) makes his entrances and exits through the audience, and is often heard before he is seen, which works really well with his character. The entire cast is talented, but turning in particularly enjoyable performances are B.J. Allman as Caius and Leah Dalrymple as Mistress Quickly. Leah Dalrymple can achieve a lot with merely a glance, a look. There is a running gag about Dr. Caius offering men three kisses, one on each cheek and then an extra one on the lips. When Caius says "I vill cut his troat in de park," he adds "Any park," playing on the fact that Shakespeare By The Sea performs in various parks throughout Los Angeles County and Orange County. Jonathan Fisher is also really funny as Sir Hugh. At one point he adds a modern reference, saying, "The power of Christ compels you." The occasional added line like that can be funny, but I do appreciate that this production refrains from doing too much of that.
I love that we come to care for Falstaff and to feel for him in the second half of the production. He has a weariness that is almost endearing. When disguised as the old woman, he flees into the audience, as if perhaps we will offer him protection. But he is increasingly on his own. Later, when he says "I will shelter me here," he indicates Mistress Ford's bosom. Yet he finds no shelter there either. In fact, he has to physically leave the stage in order to find a hiding spot, ducking down in front in an effort to hide himself from what he believes to be faeries. At the end, all is forgiven, and Falstaff is welcomed back into the community, a nice, touching moment.
The performance ended at precisely 9 p.m. The Merry Wives Of Windsor was directed by Cylan Brown, and runs in repertory with The Winter's Tale through August 18th. Check out the Shakespeare By The Sea website for the schedule of performances. There is one fifteen-minute intermission, which comes at the end of Act III Scene iii.

I started the music blog to let people know about all the good music that is out there. I only review CDs that I like. (This is partly selfish, as I don't want to listen to music I dislike.) Good Things About Bad Movies is about finding something good even in the worst films. I created an index, with a list of all of my blog entries, including Shakespeare entries and music reviews, arranged alphabetically by subject. Here is the link: http://michaeldohertyindex.blogspot.com/ My friend Jason and I have a web series, "Grandmother Winsome's Variety Minute," and several episodes are up on You Tube, and also on the Grandmother's Fanny Game blog. What else? I am fascinated by the Marquis De Sade and Elizabeth Bathory. I often make decisions based on the humor factor.

This month was our "big" enrichment night. The theme we went with was: Bloom Where You Are Planted. I was really excited to have this as our theme because the area we live in is really transient. There's a lot of military/army/naval bases around here, and families are only stationed here for a few months at a time. So we have new faces in the ward every couple of months. You'd think it would be hard to get to know each other but it's not, because the more permanent families are so welcoming to the newbies, and the newbies seem to jump right in. I totally love it.
Anyways, we started the night off with dinner. Since the theme of the night was Garden-esque, so was dinner. We had a Cheesy Garden Vegetable soup, and a Garden salad, and homemade breadsticks. For dessert, because March is also the Relief Society Birthday, we had some gals from the ward donate birthday cakes.
It was super fun, and we got a lot of great feedback. I'm just glad that we have such wonderful sisters in the ward that are willing to share their talents.
Table Centerpiece: Coffee Filter Roses in painted Terra Cotta pot, wearing a tutu.
Beverage of the night: water with Cucumber slices. We only used one cucumber for all eight tables. nice.
One of the donated cakes: store bought chocolate cake, with caramello candy bar on top, then drizzled with caramel syrup. yummy.
Entry table: topiaries (donated by wedding planner in training) programs sitting in basket, sitting in a wreath. And of course, the poster that had been promoting the activity for the last few weeks.
I try to do a program for the big activities, to give people an idea of what's going on. And I always see a couple of people jotting down notes and ideas from the classes too. I just like handouts.
Speaking of handouts, everyone received a copy of the recipes for the night. BECAUSE THEY WERE DELICIOUS. seriously. Make these for dinner this week, you'll be blown away.
Add roue to soup, stirring constantly. Heat until soup is thick and creamy, do not boil.
In a large bowl combine water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for about 5 minutes or until foamy. Stir in salt, oil, and 3 cups of the flour. Stir vigorously. Add remaining 3 cups of flour and mix well. Let stand 10 minutes. Stir down. Repeat this process 5 times, which will take one hour.
Place dough onto a floured board. Knead only enough to coat dough with flour so it can be handled: divide in half.
Melt butter and pour a small amount into the bottom of two 9 X 13" pans. Mix parmesan cheese w/ garlic salt to taste. (I usually use one bottle of Kraft Parmesan Cheese and approximately 1 teaspoon garlic salt for this recipe.) Pinch off small pieces of dough, roll in to a 9" strip (width of your baking pan), roll strip into melted butter then in parmesan cheese/garlic salt mixture and place in baking pan. Repeat, placing strips next to previous strip until pan is full. Let breadsticks rise about one to two hours or until double in size. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.

From the Minister, Thu Jan 3
This week I'm reflecting on Sofia Betancourt's essay, "Ethical Implications of Environmental Justice" -- Chapter 4 of the 2018-19 UUA Common Read, Justice on Earth: People of Faith Working at the Intersections of Race, Class and the Environment.
Betancourt got me thinking about the whiteness of the American environmental movement. Searching around, I learned that a survey released 2018 Oct
"found that about one-third of African-Americans, half of whites, and two-thirds of Latinos and Asians consider themselves to be environmentalists." (Anthropocene, 2018 Oct 30)
OK, so environmentalism is not just a white people's thing. But it is perceived that way. The survey also found that
"across racial and ethnic groups, people tended to underestimate how concerned people of color are about the environment, and overestimate how concerned white people are." (Anthropocene, 2018 Oct 30)
Indeed, mainstream environmentalist organizations – groups like the Sierra Club, the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and the Nature Conservancy – have, through their long history, consisted largely of upper- and middle-class whites focused on protecting wilderness areas. These groups have made the face of US environmentalism disproportionately white. More to the point, their focus -- protecting wilderness areas – has racial justice implications.
Consider the question of where to put waste facilities, landfills, dumps, and the most polluting industries. We clearly aren't going to put them in wealthy, white neighborhoods. So (until we find a way to eliminate such pollution sources), that leaves two options: put them in poorer and darker-skinned neighborhoods, or put them out in an area away from human habitation. The historically predominantly-white environmental organizations (Sierra Club, NRDC, etc) work to keep industries, landfills, etc. from encroaching on our uninhabited areas -- thereby unwittingly pushing toxic pollution into poorer, black or Latino neighborhoods.
Betancourt cautions against
"a perilous tendency to sacrifice entire populations of our human family in the name of acting quickly."
Black and brown folks'
"experiences of environmental racism and injustice are erased by a movement born out of an imagined pristine wilderness empty of humanity."
She cites Aldo Leopold's ethic –
"A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise."
This influential principle, however, says nothing about environmental justice. It tends to treat "humanity" as a monolith – something to rein in for the sake of the planet. Instead -- or, rather, in addition -- we must attend to how consequences and risks of environmental destruction are unequally distributed within the human population.
Our first principle commits us to the worth and dignity of all – and thus to combat racism. Our seventh principle commits us respect the interdependent web – and thus to combat environmental harm. How do you balance and honor both of these imperatives in your spiritual life?
American individualism weakens the ethic of mutual care and engagement necessary for honoring the dignity of all. What are your relationships with communities of color? How might you reach out and deepen those relationships, from an ethic of care and mutuality?

Practice of the Week: Maintain Joy and Humor /Slogan to Live By. This is a slogan for assessment. Working with it is not a matter of pressuring ourselves to feel joy all the time. When we aren't joyful, when we're depressed or bitter, we need to know that we feel that way, not cover it up with a veneer of fake spiritual joy because someone says we should. The point is that we assess our situation with this slogan, Maintain Joy and Humor. We notice when we have joy and humor and when we don't. When we don't, we know how to work with our mind to adjust.

Your Moment of Zen: The Self /The self is passion. You don't need to think about your passion too much -- just have it, and watch it. I won't say embody it, since you can't not. I will say: if you take it for real, it can wear you out.
Case
Badger came to Raven privately and asked, "What is the self?"
Raven said, "Passion."
Badger asked, "Why are we told to forget it?"
Raven said, "Forget it!"
Badger said, "That's scary."
Raven croaked.
Badger sat back on his haunches and was silent.
Raven said, "Now I'm tired."
This mouth opens, and out I come:
A draft of air and jetsam.
The air: warm, moist, de-oxygenated.
The jetsam: vocabulary, syntax, accent, tone, and
Voice that could be no one else's,
Tossed from foundering meanings.
A current of particularity and karmic goo,
Not at all the luminous seaworthy universality,
I dreamed sailing into port.
When I'm not thinking this way,
When dreams of absoluteness are wakened from,
Or the wreckage recognized as their realization,
Then this mouth opens, and out I come, and
Maybe my eddies of debris and yours
Dance.

Zen at CUUC, Sat Jan 5: HERE
My indigenous Karuk ancestors had an intimate relationship with nature; they had no separateness from Her. The United States and California diverted water from the Klamath River system, for agriculture. This led, in 2002, to the mass die-off of hundreds of thousands of salmon, a result both indigenous and Whites predicted. Now few salmon swim up river to spawn. This is an ecological, spiritual, and nutritional disaster. My heart is broken by it.

As the warm summer months come to an end and the nights begin to cool, a hearty dinner can be just what the doctor ordered. Fluffy couscous acts as the perfect bed for rich lamb sausages.
Sausages are always a crowd pleaser, but why stick to the same old pork or chicken? Roasted lamb sausages ring in spring and are even better when paired with a cool grape-mint relish that balances the meatiness of the lamb.


With ADHD, sometimes the brain can have imbalances in the nervous system causing dis-regulation in focus and attention. Using techniques that help increase balance, coordination, crossing midline, and timing, children and adults with ADHD can become stronger with focus and attention. Simple activities can be created as a family helping build stronger family relationships while having fun and increasing focus, attention and impulse control.

About in 1986 Pu Guruji sent me to see one Jain young sadhu at Junagadh. I stayed in one advocates house who was also trustee of that upashray.
That sadhu had no sickness only thing some body has used black art – Meli Vidya on him. He seems very normal but his right leg was very heavy,even 4 to 5 persons could not move his foot one cm.
I was confused because I have not seen such things before.
But I found that his Vishudh was was not working and very heavyness in Anahat.
When I started giving sitting literally that sadhu has thrown me from that place. I became Scarry but living every thing on Pu Guruji once again started vibrations. This time he remains calm. I gave sitting two times a day for three days. Than that sadhu became normal. After talking to Guruji I wrote letter to that sadhu advising him as per Gurujis direction. We do not know whether that sadhu has followed Guruji's advice or not.
But when you do Pranchikitsa you will get such a fantastic experience.

Boehner: There will be a negotiation
'Sooner or later we will raise the debt limit. The question is how we get there,' McCain says.
By Burgess Everett and Jake Sherman
Updated: 10/09/2013 05:52 AM EDT
Speaker John Boehner said President Barack Obama's desire to negotiate after the debt ceiling is lifted and government is funded amounts to "unconditional surrender by Republicans."
The message, delivered outside the speaker's office on Tuesday afternoon as a response to Obama's earlier press conference, does not bode well for solving the government shutdown or debt default this week.
Boehner called on Democrats — either in the Senate or White House — to begin negotiations today. Democrats said government must be funded and the debt ceiling must be hiked before talks start.
( PHOTOS: 25 great shutdown quotes)
"The long and short of it is: There's going to be a negotiation," Boehner said. "The only way this is going to happen is to in fact have a conversation. … The conversation ought to start today."
The dueling statements from Obama and Boehner came on a day when there was little progress toward solving the standoff, but the rhetoric between the president and the speaker escalated.
Boehner's office said Obama called the speaker on Tuesday around 10:45 a.m. to reiterate that he won't negotiate on legislation to reopen the government or lift the debt ceiling. The White House said Obama is happy to negotiate "after the threat of government shutdown and default have been removed." On Monday evening Senate Democrats introduced a billto raise the debt ceiling though Dec. 31, 2014. A vote on the bill is expected Saturday.
( POLITICO reports: Shutdown week two: Who to watch)
House Minority Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said he was surprised by Boehner's remarks after Obama's speech that suggested the speaker would continue to fight on the debt limit.
"The only thing you can draw from that statement is they don't want to extend the debt limit," Hoyer said.
He took issue with Boehner's remarks that he wouldn't agree to an "unconditional surrender."
"Surrendering?" Hoyer said. "To being responsible? Heaven forbid that any of us would surrender to being responsible Americans and wanting our countries to pay our debts."
After more than a month of screaming across the Capitol, Boehner (R-Ohio) on Tuesday morning said there are "no boundaries" — if only Democrats would talk to him. Asked if he would lift the debt ceiling and fund the government before those talks start, Boehner said he would not engage in speculation.
"All we're asking for is to sit down and have a conversation," Boehner said. "There's no reason to make it more difficult to bring people to the table. There's no boundaries here, there's nothing on the table, there's nothing off the table. I'm trying to do everything I can to bring people together and have a conversation."
It was a tone shift from last week, when Boehner bellowed that the government shut down wasn't a "damn game." It was an attempt to look like someone who is open-minded and willing to negotiate to head off the massive economic consequences that could come from a prolonged shutdown and debt default. But Boehner's tone is unlikely to change the fundamental dynamics of this standoff: Democrats say Republicans must reopen government before negotiations start.
( WATCH: Key moments leading to shutdown deadline)
In an unusual move, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) summoned all senators to the floor Tuesday to debate the government shutdown and looming debt ceiling deadline.
"It's time for us, members of this august body, to stand before the American people," Reid said.
It was an unprecedented use of the live quorum call the ability to make all members report to the chamber in order to discuss important topics. Senators then voted to retrieve the missing lawmakers — it passed 84 to 14.
The point of the full Senate meeting was clear as Reid launched into a lecture about the problems with the shutdown — now in its eighth day — telling members that it was "disgraceful" the shutdown led to the families of troops killed in the line of duty to not receive death benefits. And influential senators like Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) each said it's time to stop waiting for the House to end the shutdown and raise the debt ceiling.
"Waiting for the House of Representatives to save us is beneath the United States Senate," Durbin said.
"Sooner or later, the government will resume its function. Sooner or later we will raise the debt limit. The question is how we get there," McCain said. "Why don't we do this sooner rather than later? Why doesn't the Senate lead?"
Reid's rare maneuver came during President Barack Obama's first news conference during the shutdown.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) then took to the floor and said the Senate meeting belied Reid's difficulties in entering discussions with House Speaker John Boehner.
"We now have divided government. We have to talk to each other," McConnell said.
The unusual Senate scene came a week into a government shutdown, nine days until the debt ceiling is reached and as Boehner adopted a new tone, saying he isn't "drawing any lines in the sand," but simply wants to negotiate with President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats to end the budgetary impasses.
In line with Obama's stance, Senate Democrats are pushing a plan to raise the debt ceiling without policy restrictions. Before entering a closed-door lunch, Reid said that he thought he could accrue the 60 votes needed for this legislation to clear procedural hurdles later this week — including six Republicans. Reid said later he would begin the process of considering the bill later Tuesday, possibly culminating in a critical procedural vote on Saturday.
That notion was disputed by Senate GOP leadership members John Thune (R-S.D.) and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), who insist that a clean debt ceiling could not get 60 votes today — an equation that could change as the Oct. 17 debt ceiling deadline approaches.
"I doubt that our members are going to want to vote for a clean debt limit increase absent the discussion about what we do to reduce the debt and improve the economy," Thune said.
Across the Capitol, Reid was equally clear about his demands: End this crisis, and negotiations can start.
"Open the government, raise the debt ceiling and we'll talk about anything you want to talk about," Reid said Tuesday.
Reid's message hasn't changed, but that hasn't affected Republicans, who continue to pass bills to entice Democrats to the negotiating table. This week, they'll attempt to pass a bill to pay government workers during the shutdown, and another that would appoint a negotiating committee to deal with deficit and debt issues. The House will send those bills as one to the Senate. Democrats immediately pushed back against that idea.
"Not again, not again," Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) said when first told of the newest Republican plan. "Having served as a member of the so-called supercommittee, there was nothing super about it."
Senate Democrats are also skeptical.
"Going back to the supercommittee idea that brought us sequestration but didn't solve our big fiscal issues isn't going to work," said a senior Senate Democratic aide.
In his Tuesday press conference, Obama questioned the need for a type of supercommittee.
"There's already a process in placed called the budget committees that could come together right now … to make a determination of how much the government should be spending next year," Obama said. "I don't know why we need to set up a new committee."
The message from House Republicans is remarkably inconsistent. Conservatives have started talking about a one-month debt ceiling hike alongside spending cuts of equal value — a plan that was received skeptically inside the House leadership.
The Senate's Republican and Democratic conferences caucused at separate lunches off the Senate floor Tuesday to hash out raising the debt ceiling. Stuck at a stalemate with the House on reopening the government, Senate Democrats are focused for now on lifting tge debt ceiling through the 2014 elections without including any policy riders — although a shorter time frame may appeal more to Republicans.
The 54 members of the Senate Democratic Caucus appeared united on the debt ceiling plan Monday with the support of Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) but now must pick off six members of the GOP to vote with them — no easy lift given the lukewarm reception given to the proposal.
By lunchtime, a group including rank-and-file Senate Republicans as well as leadership had already huddled in the office of McConnell to strategize on the debt ceiling.
"I think most of our members believe any discussion of increasing the debt ceiling has to involve a discussion of spending reforms," Blunt said in an interview. "It has to come at the same time."

Q: Crystal: how to increase the number of types an array can hold after instantiation I'm building a table of data. At first, the rows of this table are most easily filled by key / value so I use a hash
a = Hash(Int32, Symbol).new
a[1] = :one

Once that's done, it's more convenient to work with an array (I need to sort the data for example). Easy enough:
a.to_a # => [{1, :one}]

But now I'm discovering that for my formatter to work properly (multi-page table, using latex) things just make more sense if I can store another data type in that array, for example, a string. But it's too late! The type of the array is fixed; it won't admit a string.
a << "str" # => ERROR!

The solution I've come up with so far doesn't seem very elegant:
a = Hash(Int32, Symbol).new
a[1] = :one
arr = Array(String | Tuple(Int32, Symbol)).new
a.each do |k,v|
  arr << {k,v}
end
arr << "str" # no problem now

Is there a more "Crystal" / elegant way?

A: Just use to_a with as it can be used to cast to a "bigger" type as the docs call it
a = Hash(Int32, Symbol).new
a[1] = :one
arr = a.to_a.map { |x| x.as(String | Tuple(Int32, Symbol)) }
arr << "str" # [{1, :one}, "str"]

COVID, supply chains & going digital
Content Manager, Institutional, ANZ
There's a slight misconception COVID has forced vast swathes of businesses and supply chains throughout the Asia-Pacific region to suddenly embrace digital.
While it is true many business have accelerated their use of digital as a result of the pandemic's impact - some with eye-opening speed - according to Michael Simonetta, Chief Executive Officer of Perfection Fresh Australia, in many cases, businesses like his have been thoroughly digital for a long time.
"We're embracing technology wherever we can now, trialling different technologies, using blockchain or traceability and transparency of movement on products," he told the recent EIU & ANZ: Bringing the Supply Chain Home virtual event.
"We're embracing all of those things. But that's not just because of COVID. That's because we've got look to the future and not just today."
Ruth McLennan, Commercial Director, South East Asia at Dairy Farm Group, said there are a number of technology initiatives underway at the pan-Asian retailer, including an "online and offline integration solution for brick and mortar retailers".
"It's very much in its infancy, but I'm sure since COVID the prioritisation of the program has been revisited," she said.
Both Simonetta and McLennan joined a roundtable at the event which also featured Tammy Medard, incoming Managing Director, Institutional Australia at ANZ, Patrick Vizzone, Head of Coverage, Hong Kong & Head of Food, Beverage and Agribusiness, International at ANZ; and Charles Ross, Asia Editorial Director at The Economist Intelligence Unit.
ANZ Finance & Treasury Forum 2020
The ANZ Finance and Treasury Forum is almost here again.
This year, ANZ's market-leading event is going virtual, featuring a host of international thought leaders who will pick apart the current themes dominating markets, analyse the outlook in an uncertain time and provide insights into a truly unprecedented era for doing business.
On October 22, ANZ's Forum will bring together business, political and industry leaders to share their perspectives on trends shaping the region and the practical implications they will have on finance professionals - including geopolitics, pandemic solutions, sustainability, technology and leading through change.
The ANZ Finance & Treasury Forum will look ahead to the new decade and the opportunities for senior finance and treasury professionals across Asia Pacific and beyond.
ANZ Institutional will keep you up to date in the weeks ahead of the event.
McLennan said the disruption created by the pandemic was beginning to ease, although things were a long way from pre-pandemic normalcy.
"At the very start, it was manic," she said. "We've been working around the clock for many, many months."
"I don't think we have gone back to the way it used to be. And so we're just now trying to adjust to what could be the new norm, across all elements of our supply chain."
McLennan said conversations around the impact of the pandemic at the group were still regular, and many were still adjusting to the new "countries of origin, regulations and restrictions," of the supply chains they've been forced to tap.
"I think if nothing else, [COVID] has actually helped us as an organisation build our agility muscle," she said.
McLennan said the impact of the pandemic on transport and logistics has been a significant challenge. Simonetta agreed.
"That's impacted us, especially from an export perspective," he said. "It's a big challenge and continues to be."
"With a couple of our major customers, we've had positive outbreaks, which has really put pressure on the supply chain right through to retail."
Simonetta said an unexpected upside of the pandemic was how it had forced collaboration across participants in supply chains "to another level, in terms of openness and sharing of information".
"I think it's really been fantastic," he said. "Both customers and suppliers are more transparent with what they need, and they're certainly talking more about production planning and forecasting, which is difficult in these times."
"I think that's what's going to set apart the successful retailers and suppliers, the ones that can forecast accurately; the supply chains with longer-lasting and more-strategic business relationships."
Tech will play a big part in this success in the FB&A sector, Simonetta said, with robotics "a big thing that is being talked about". However, he warned it would be some time before tech would outpace the effectiveness of humans, particularly when it came to harvesting.
"[Robots] can pick grapes for wine, but they can't pick table grapes to put on a retail shelf," he said. "That still requires hand labour."
"But it's happening - and it's not driven by COVID, I might add, it's driven by the sheer fact that there is a shortage of labour worldwide."
The pace of change means tech remains moving target, Simonetta said.
"It'll keep growing," he said. "Certainly in our industry within we're embracing technology in every way we can."

The World Ends in a Neigh
Hirnuva maailmanloppu
- Arto Paasilinna
A wild and rib-tickling story that combines Orwellian dystopia with talking horses and social satire.
The Words Ends in a Neigh tells the story of Huru-Aaroni, a Finnish horse who has learned to speak. The story kicks off when Huru-Aaroni's owner sells him to Ossi Huikkola, one of Finland's most well-known horse breeders. Enter local vet Tarmo Saamakorpi, who is in charge of training foals and is partial to a spot of drinking and gambling every now and again. With Saamakorpi's special skill being put to good use, it's not long before all the new foals learn how to speak!
In The World Ends in a Neigh Paasilinna explores life from the perspective of both horse and man with incredible depth.
Arto Paasilinna (1942-2018) is the most renowned contemporary Finnish author, having published 35 novels and countless other works during his lifetime. In Finland, he has been one of the most popular authors since the 1970s.

Thornburg, VA – The story at Dominion Raceway Thursday was all about points. Lee Pulliam made his debut at the track hunting for some late season national points as he holds a one point lead over second place this season, he is trying to get his fourth national championship. The track championship is also very close with Tyler Hughes and Doug Barnes battling hard all season long.
The 2016 national champion qualified on the pole running a 15.247 second lap to beat out Morris by .012. Pulliam would start fifth and Hughes out ran Barnes by 6 spots and started on the outside of row three. But they do things a little different at Dominion Raceway, and Bowling pulled a six out of the redraw bag which put Hughes up front for the green flag.
Hughes enjoyed the lead with no pressure from behind for the opening thirty laps until Morris was able to navigate through the cars between them like it was nothing. As they first started catching lapped traffic Morris kept cutting into the lead but the caution would erase it fully with Colin Garrett spinning out off of turn two.
The green flag flew with an even hundred alps remaining in the race and Hughes cleared Morris, he tried the high line with the cone choice, fairly easily. Fourteen laps into the run and Morris had shaken Sellers off from his rear and was no focused 100% on Hughes. Morris was able to nose in to the inside and they raced door to door for a lap until Hughes pulled back ahead and the caution came out for the second time, this time for 2016 track champion Nick Smith getting a tap to his rear and spinning out. Under this caution Lee's crew tried to fix his ailing car several times and he eventually got caught two laps down.
The front row stayed the same for this restart with Hughes low and Morris high. They didn't waste much time as they went three wide along with Sellers for the lead, Morris ended up winning out on the risky move on lap 80. Hughes put up a fight for the next couple of laps, peaking inside of Morris a few times but couldn't get past the four time national champ. Sellers made some contact with Hughes in his pursuit for second but it got them both out of line and Bowling took over the spot. Not long after that the biggest wreck of the night put a lot of damage on several cars with Jeff Oakley, Michael Hardin, Barnes, and Hughes all taking hits.
Morris liked the high line and chose it again, but as the leader this time. He cleared Bowling on the restart and Sergio Pena worked his way by Bowling for second and Brenden "Butterbean" Queen also worked up to fourth place getting by Sellers. Behind them Barnes and Hughes ended up battling each other for seventh position and with 35 laps to go even made it three wide while passing a slower car, these two left nothing on the track. Nine laps later they are still side by side but the caution came out for Chris Johnson's car losing a motor. A rough ending for Johnson who had come from 23rd to 6th at this point.
The next green flag run was short lived as Puryear got caught up again and this time it ripped off most of his body work and the red flag had to come out to get everything up.
For the next restart Morris again went high and Pena and Queen chose low. Morris showed how strong his car was on this restart setting his fastest time of the race as second through fifth all ran side by side and completely checked on them. Barnes and Pena traded second position for a few laps while they were side by side but Barnes would eventually fall back to fifth with Hughes and Queen getting by him.
Morris took the checkers with no pressure from behind him to win his second big trophy of the year, with his first being the South Boston leg of the triple crown.
After the race Morris had nothing but praise for the racing at Dominion, "I want to race here all the time, I keep telling the guys. They think its close and I'm only an hour away but every where we go is three hours but I just love this place. I just wanna keep coming here, you can really charge the corners here and it makes for some really great racing." He also mentioned why the racing is so good, "That guy in the 8 car [Tyler Hughes] we had a good battle out there, he was running pretty good. It's kind of weird, it's hard to get away from anybody because you got some drafting going on too so you get a little bit of everything. I've run some of the Xfinity series, truck series, and its a little bit of everything so any driver that is looking to go up they want to come here because you can learn a lot more at this race track." The team plans on using this momentum going forward to finish out the year strong and use the lessons learned this year for a possible run next season at the national title.
Midlothian, VA – The modifieds had a few less show up than the previous race but they still put on a heck of a show. Michael Johnson ran a 15.102 in practifying. He drew a four on the invert putting Lauren Edgerton on the pole, Kyle Wood in second, and Mike Rudy in third.
Kyle Wood wasted no time getting by Lauren and she ended up three wide for second place. By the third lap Johnson was into second and looking at the big lead Wood had already established. Farther on back Rudy and Morgan ran side by side for fourth place and Mike took the position and next up was Edgerton for him. He pulled up to her and made a pass on the outside on lap thirteen. At the halfway mark Johnson was starting to pull right up to Wood's bumper going into the corner but Wood would pull away on exit. On lap-16 Adam Medek was battling a loose car and it didn't help when Tyler Davis gave him a bump sending him around.
Coming to the restart Johnson chose the high side on the cone and Wood had possibly the slowest creep to the start I've ever seen. On the next lap, Johnson led the race by a nerf bar and would eventually complete the pass. One of the old sayings is that cautions breed cautions, so without fail the yellow flag flew for the second time. Medek was trying to pass Rip Salomone when he went in too hard and spun them both out.
Wood tried the high side this time over Johnson and the whole field ended up running side by side for an entire lap. Wood went to his inside once it was clear and the caution came out for the third time with Salomone and Harvey Thomas spinning out down the back stretch. Wood tried the high side again on the restart running side by side with Johnson as they came to the white flag. On the final lap he fell in behind him to try and get a nerf bar to his rear but Johnson was able to hold on for the win. Behind them, Rudy got sideways from Davis but was able to keep his third place finish.
Scott Willingham got the pole point in the UCAR division running a 16.977-second lap in the practifiying session. The always fast Michael Chapman missed out by just two-thousandths of a second of beating out Willingham. Scott pulled a 5 out of the invert bag which put Korey Lawson up front to take the green flag.
Lawson cleared the field after the first lap easily and the shuffling behind him started. Four laps in the caution flew for Willingham getting sideways with Joshua Thomas. Ending the first race for Thomas. For the restart, Chapman decided to try the high line and made a little contact with Lawson but couldn't get by him. Hite worked his way back into second by the seventh lap and three laps later he was on the leader's bumper trying to engineer a pass. On the thirteenth lap, Chapman slowed down on the back straight and came down to pit road to park it. Dillon Devenney and Willingham start racing hard with five to go and Scott was able to grab fourth from him. Dillon wasn't giving up though and gives him a shot down the front straight making Willingham loose but he was able to save it. The next lap they bump again and get hooked to each other and the caution would come out. Beejay Anderson had nowhere to go and made contact while trying to slow down.
Off the restart, the UCAR drivers went three wide for second place but Hite was once again able to keep the position. With two laps to go Hunter Waldrop's car made contact with the boiler plate and broke the right side of it. This set up a green-white-checkered finish. Lawson had a good restart but Hite was able to make some contact with him to try and steal the win from Lawson. Lawson was able to keep the spot and roll into victory lane leading every lap in the race.
Thomas led the field to the green flag in the second UCAR race of the night. Devenney was trying to get the third place position from Lawson when he got loose and fell back a spot to fourth. By the sixth lap, Thomas had a big lead but Lawson was coming, gaining almost a tenth a lap on the leader. It wouldn't be enough though and with no help from cautions Thomas was able to cruise to the checkers with Lawson, Devenney, Ayers, and Frayser rounding out the top-5.
MIDLOTHIAN, VA – The officials at Southside Speedway announced that this year they would run two 75 lap late model races instead of only their normal 40 lap features. With a strong car count so far in the year, the increased laps proved to be exciting in the first long distance race of the year.
Mason Bailey set fast time in practifying with a quick 14.836-second lap with Chris Dodson and Grayson Cullather both running a 14.927, Grayson would get the spot for running the lap first. The pole setter pulled a four on the invert putting Alex Brock on the pole to start the feature.
Brock would lead the first three laps until the caution flew for Sonny Allen and Lane Janosik spinning out while trying to get around the slow car of Chris Savage. Howie Disavino would get some damage to the left side of his car trying to avoid the accident.
Dodson opted to go high on the restart and it paid off for him quickly as he took the lead on the restart. Cullather got bumped by Bugs Hairfield and would slip back to sixth. Once Bugs got by Grayson he quickly chased down Mason Bailey and put himself into third place. At this point, he was running faster laps than Dodson and Brock. By the 27th lap, everyone was stretched out aside from the top-3. About ten laps later Eddie Johnson started knocking on the door of Bailey but the 2016 modified champion is able to fend him off.
The leaders started approaching heavy traffic with twenty-five laps to go and Brock was still keeping up with Dodson. Brock's best chance would happen through traffic but Dodson would fend him off with a little bit of contact. A little farther back Cullather gets Bailey completely sideways and Bailey was able to save it coming off of turn-2, with Mason slowed down Johnson is able to slide by him.
With ten laps remaining Janosik runs hard into Allen and they start wrecking, Bugs is able to slow down quick enough to avoid ending his night. Unfortunately while under caution Bugs blew a hose off his radiator and had to end his night. The track went under the red flag as the cleanup crew tried to clean up what seemed to be more than just water on the track, possibly some oil too from the hot motor.
Getting the green flag all the cars make it through the slick entrance of turn-1 as the drying agent flew all over. Dodson kept control of the lead but rode high through turn-4 and Cullather tried to apply some pressure. Caution would fly again on lap-68, this time for Johnson getting hard into Brad Davis.
The green flew for the last time and Brock looked to dive hard into the corner but it turned out that he had a tire go down and didn't have much control of the car. Brad Davis got his front end tore off but the rivets held it strong alongside his car, he was black flagged and did not come down the pits resulting in a penalized finishing position. Dodson ended up cruising to the win by a half second over Mason Bailey.

De morning-afterpil (ook wel noodpil genoemd) is een middel dat tot maximaal 120 uur na onbeschermde geslachtsgemeenschap de kans op zwangerschap sterk vermindert. Er zijn twee soorten op de markt. De werkzame stof in de eerste geregistreerde pil is het progestageen levonorgestrel, de merknaam Norlevo. Sedert 2009 is ook ulipristalacetaat, merknaam ellaOne, verkrijgbaar. Ulipristalacetaat is geen hormoon, maar heeft wel invloed op het hormoonsysteem. Het bindt aan receptoren van progestagenen, waardoor deze hormonen minder goed hun werk kunnen doen. Levonorgestrel is geregistreerd voor gebruik binnen 72 uur na onbeschermd contact, ulipristalacetaat voor 120 uur. Uit directe vergelijkingen van beide pillen blijkt ulipristalacetaat anderhalf keer zo effectief te zijn in de eerste 72 uur. In de eerste 24 uur is het verschil in effectiviteit nog groter.

In de vorige eeuw werden ook andere combinaties van hormonen en doseringen gebruikt, alle off-label. De morning-afterpil is een anticonceptiemiddel. Sommigen beschouwen het als een aborterend middel. Hiervoor is echter geen wetenschappelijke ondersteuning. De morning-afterpil werkt op een andere wijze dan een middel als mifepriston, dat gebruikt wordt bij een overtijdbehandeling om een ingenesteld embryo te aborteren. Lang is aangenomen dat de morning-afterpil niet alleen de ovulatie zou onderdrukken, maar ook implantatie van een bevruchte eicel zou bemoeilijken. Deze laatste werking is echter nooit aangetoond. Tegenwoordig gaat men ervan uit dat de morning-afterpil alleen werkt door de eisprong uit te stellen.

Hoe sneller de pil wordt ingenomen, hoe beter hij werkt. De morning-afterpil is in België sinds 1 september 2000 in de apotheek verkrijgbaar op doktersvoorschrift. In 2001 besliste minister Magda Aelvoet dat levonorgestrel ook zonder voorschrift te koop zou worden aangeboden bij apothekers. In Nederland besloot het College ter Beoordeling van Geneesmiddelen dat vanaf 2005 Norlevo zonder doktersrecept verkrijgbaar is bij de apotheek of de drogist. In januari 2015 is door de Europese commissie besloten om ook ellaOne zonder doktersrecept verkrijgbaar te maken in (bijna) de hele Europese Unie.

Gebruik
Deze pil kan worden gebruikt als geen anticonceptie is toegepast of als wordt vermoed dat de normale anticonceptie niet heeft kunnen werken (bijvoorbeeld een condoom dat is gescheurd, een anticonceptiepil die de vrouw is vergeten in te nemen, of een aanval van braken of aanhoudende waterdunne diarree waardoor een ingenomen anticonceptiepil verminderd werkzaam kan zijn geworden). Ook kan de morning-afterpil worden gebruikt wanneer bij medicatiegebruik (bijvoorbeeld sommige soorten antibiotica) te laat wordt ontdekt dat de anticonceptiepil mogelijk verminderd werkzaam kan zijn geworden.

Na uitgebreid onderzoek inzake andersluidende berichten, stelden de Europese registratieautoriteiten in juli 2014 vast dat de dosering niet afhankelijk is van het lichaamsgewicht van de vrouw.

Betrouwbaarheid bij voorkomen van zwangerschap
De betrouwbaarheid van ulipristalacetaat is groter dan die van levonorgestrel. Er is een meta-analyse gedaan van verschillende studies waarin de twee morning-afterpillen zijn vergeleken. Bij gebruik van ulipristalacetaat binnen 72 uur na onbeschermd seksueel contact werd 1,4% van de vrouwen alsnog zwanger. Bij levonorgestrel was dat 2,2%. Wanneer de pil binnen 24 uur wordt ingenomen is de kans op zwangerschap 0,9% bij ulipristalacetaat en 2,3% bij levonorgestrel.

In alle gevallen is het dus verstandig om ook na het gebruik van de morning-afterpil te controleren dat zwangerschap inderdaad is uitgebleven. Deze cijfers betekenen bovendien, dat men beter kan vertrouwen op anticonceptie vóórdat men geslachtsgemeenschap heeft, dan op de morning-afterpil. Het is beter deze alleen te gebruiken als noodanticonceptie wanneer reguliere anticonceptie mogelijk gefaald heeft.

Bijwerkingen
De morning-afterpil kan bijwerkingen tot gevolg hebben. De volgende bijwerkingen zijn gemeld bij het gebruik van de noodpil:
 Hoofdpijn (bij bijna 20% van de gebruiksters)
 Veranderingen in het patroon van de maandelijkse bloedingen; de menstruatie kan bij sommige vrouwen eerder en bij andere vrouwen later komen (bij ongeveer 15% van de gebruiksters).
 Misselijkheid (bij ongeveer 12% van de gebruiksters, soms leidend tot braken)
 Pijn in de onderbuik, bovenbuik of rug (ieder bij rond de 5% van de gebruiksters)
 Ook gevoelige borsten, duizeligheid en vermoeidheid komen soms voor.

Eventuele klachten gaan binnen een paar dagen vanzelf over. Er zijn geen nadelige effecten op de langere termijn.

Werking
Er is enige discussie geweest over het werkingsmechanisme van de morning-afterpil. Er zijn verschillende hypothesen over, namelijk dat de morning-afterpil de eisprong uit zou stellen, de mogelijkheid voor sperma om de eicel te bereiken zou bemoeilijken of innesteling van een bevruchte eicel zou voorkomen. Er is alleen overtuigend bewijs voor het eerste mechanisme, dus uitstel van ovulatie. De morning-afterpil kan geen miskraam veroorzaken, maar voorkomt bevruchting, net als andere vormen van anticonceptie. De morning-afterpil werkt niet tegen seksueel overdraagbare aandoeningen (SOA's).

We at Grahams are well aware that the future of the cattle business in the UK will move to adding polled genetics, from a practical farming sense and also with legislation coming from Europe regarding scrutiny of dehorning practices.
We have selected some of the top Polled and Homozygous Polled sires from Europe to further our breeding program by breeding these sires to some of our best breeding females that are consistent producers of the right kind. The recent purchase of the highly respected German bred Homozygous Polled proven sire 'Hinz' will add a new chapter to the Grahams polled project. Other Polled sires in use are Tigris (Homozygous Polled) and Bagou (Heterozygous Polled).

Worth Playing
While Spider-Man 3 might have had a somewhat better-looking and more accurate Manhattan, the frame rate in The Incredible Hulk is more solid, except for brief rare occasions when you're literally leveling several blocks of the city simultaneously.
The word "good" should never be used when describing this game, but "entertaining" definitely fits it. Who doesn't love smashing stuff? The Hulk does it better than anyone, and it's captured quite well within this game.
GameDaily
As moviegoers walk away from the film hoping to continue the adventure, this Hulk is far from incredible.
It's fun to run around as the Hulk in an open world, harassing pedestrians and tearing the city apart with your bare hands, but with its uneven pacing, dull missions, and sloppy presentation, The Incredible Hulk won't keep most players interested for long.
Play UK
The Incredible Hulk initially delivers a suitably destructive experience, but the novelty soon disappears. Samey missions stretch the premise to breaking point, while a rushed game engine shows flaws early on, making it hard to recommend.
VideoGamer
You'll get moments of fun simply from being Hulk, but this isn't enough to carry the whole game. The incredibly disappointing presentation is sadly the final nail in Hulk's coffin.
Console Monster
Simply put, there is no reason that anyone should pay money to play this game.

The power of the Hulk!! This game captures that perfectly. Sad part is they don't give him a proper story and they overload way too much onThe power of the Hulk!! This game captures that perfectly. Sad part is they don't give him a proper story and they overload way too much on sidequests that the game is convoluted. Still, HULK SMASH!!!! No more Hulk getting taken out by anonymous squad members. Tanks beware!! Humvees become Hulk's boxing gloves to smash yet more stuff. But with all that power, they constrict his movement (he'll never turn into David Banner for you) in New York City. Try as you might, you're just such a behemoth that signs, cars, vendors, fire hydrants all get accidently smashed. Then comes the army once the city meter has deemed too much destruction has gone on for long enough. Then it becomes a high speed chase that involves more destruction, and a building or two, or three, or four comes down. This becomes way too repetitious. Overall, The Incredible Hulk is one of those games that has potential and you would just wish some company would pick this up and improve it for the ultimate Hulk game.… Expand

Q: Como crear dos sesiones independientes para cada subdominio Estimados tengo el siguiente inconveniente, resulta ser que estoy trabajando con subdominios en mi sitio web llamado ecuservicechile.lc , voy a trabajar con dos subdominios portal.ecuservicechile.lc donde se logean todos los usuarios y admin.ecuservicechile.lc donde solo tiene acceso el administrador del sitio. Cada subdominio tiene su propia base de datos.
Cuando un usuario es logeado exitosamente en el portal, creo las sesiones de la siguiente manera redirigiendo al sitio correspondiente en el portal, tambien utilizo las mismas lineas de codigo (pero en otro script), cuando se logea el administrador en admin. Resulta ser que si me logeo con algún usuario de prueba en portal, y luego ingreso al subdominio admin, tambien figuro logeado, ya que existe la misma variable $_SESSION['correo'];, como puedo hacer que ambas sessiones sean independientes ? o solo deberia cambiar los nombres de las variables de sesion en el otro script ?
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['fecha'] = date("Y-m-d G:i:s");
$_SESSION['correo'] = $fila['correo'];
$_SESSION['nombre'] = $fila['nombre'];
$_SESSION['apellido'] = $fila['apellido'];
$_SESSION['idusuario'] = $fila['idusuario'];
$_SESSION['sesion-start'] = time();
$_SESSION['sesion-expire'] = $_SESSION['sesion-start'] + (15 * 60);
header("location: ".RUTA_SUBDOMINIO."ordenes");

También mencionar que tengo lo siguiente en el htaccess que se encuentra en la raiz de la web.
 <IfModule mod_headers.c>
    SetEnvIf Origin "http(s)?://(www\.)?(portal.ecuservicechile.lc|admin.ecuservicechile.lc)$" AccessControlAllowOrigin=$0
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin %{AccessControlAllowOrigin}e env=AccessControlAllowOrigin
</IfModule>
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers: X-Requested-With
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET,PUT,POST,DELETE
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
php_value session.cookie_domain ".ecuservicechile.lc"

Me gustaría que no ocurra ese problema de las sesiones, ya que cuando la web este en el servidor real, podria ocasionar problemas de seguridad.

A: Sin tener que hacer modificaciones del archivo php.ini, ni a variables en tiempo de ejecución, puedes darle nombre a cada sesión, es el método que uso para tener múltiples sesiones (1 por cada sitio) en localhost.
Para el sitio principal:
<?php
session_name('principal');
session_start();

Para el subdominio:
<?php
session_name('sub-dominio');
session_start();

De esta forma, las sesiones son completamente independientes.

A: Puedes utilizar la configuración del init, y puedes modificarla desde el servicio donde estas inicializando las variables para los admins:
<?php
  If ($_POST["usr"] == "admin"){
    ini_set('session.cookie_domain', 'admin.ecuservicechile.lc' );
    $ruta = "mi.ruta.html"
  } else {
    ini_set('session.cookie_domain', 'portal.ecuservicechile.lc' );
    $ruta = "mi.ruta2.html"
  }
  session_start();

Además tendrás que modificar la redirección...
header("location: ". $ruta ."ordenes");

Elimina la línea...
php_value session.cookie_domain ".ecuservicechile.lc"

POSIBLES PROBLEMAS
Existe la posibilidad, si tienes un servicio de hosting, de que no te permitan modificar los valores del php.ini (aun en código). Bajo la premisa anterior puedes intentar hablar con el proveedor o hacer dos servicios distintos.

Q: django image upload rest framework and test client I'm trying to upload a picture with rest framework and to test it with the django test client. It almost works, however when I save the file I have this on the top of my file:
--BoUnDaRyStRiNg
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="plop.png"

If I delete those lines, I can perfectly read my picture, but I don't know how to rid of them.
models.py
class GenericUser(User):
    avatar = models.ImageField(upload_to=user_directory_path)

views.py
class AvatarView(APIView):
    parser_classes = (FileUploadParser,)
    def post(self, request):
        up_file = request.data['file']
        user = get_object_or_404(GenericUser, pk=request.user.id)
        user.avatar.save(up_file.name, up_file)
        user.save()
        return Response(status=204)

tests.py

with open(MY_FILE, 'rb') as f:
    data = f.read()
res = cl.post('/avatar', {"plop.png" : data}, HTTP_CONTENT_DISPOSITION="attachment; filename=plop.png;")

any hints, how I could make this work?

A: Try this:
res = cl.post('/avatar?filename=plop.png', {"plop.png" : data})

Or more or less from the Django docs:
with open(MY_FILE, 'rb') as f:
    cl.post('/avatar', {"filename" : f})
