New York attorney-cum-award-winning author Doreen Cronin will participate in a book signing and audience Q&A after the production of a fun, nationally produced staged adaptation of her well-known "Diary of" children's book series: "Diary of a Worm," "Diary of a Spider," and "Diary of a Fly." The play, "Diary of a Worm, a Spider, and a Fly," is being produced by Louisville's StageOne Family Theatre and will run at the Bomhard Theatre at the Kentucky Center on Saturday, May 10 and Saturday, May 17 at 11 AM and 2 PM. Cronin will be present at the May 10 shows for an author signing after each performance in addition to an audience Q&A following the 2 PM event.
A family friendly show for the "young at heart" and recommended for kids age 4 and older, this stage adaptation highlights the excitement and trepidation shared by the thoughtful and relatable characters in Cronin's popular children's series – the adventurous fly, the serious spider, and the shy worm – all of whom are about to begin a brand new school year with their own concerns, expectations, and hopes.
Tickets are still available and can be purchased by calling the Kentucky Center (502)584-7777, buying in person at the box office: 501 W. Main Street, Louisville, or ordering online. (Group rates are available for parties of 12+.)

Aquanaut Fabien Cousteau Surfaces After Spending 31 Days Underwater
One man's goal to live on the ocean floor for 31 days was fulfilled.
One man's goal to live on the ocean floor for 31 days was fulfilled.
When Mark Peters went on a fishing trip off the coast of Santa Cruz, Calif., he probably didn't think he'd bring home the most incredible underwater video footage we've ever seen -- but that's exactly what happened. Peters attached his GoPro Hero 2 camera to a custom-built "torpedo" that attached to his fishing boat. While he initially did this to catch some great shots of albacore tuna, he got much more than he anticipated when a group of Pacific white-sided dolphins swam up to the boat.
Get ready for a shock: mermaids don't exist, according to the U.S. government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The revelation came in an "Ocean Facts" blog post on June 27, although the news is only now going viral on Facebook. The entry did take its sweet time about clarifying that fact. After a couple of paragraphs talking about the history of mermaid myths, the NOAA post offered this: "But are mermaids real? No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found.
To many, underwater exploration is the stuff of Jules Verne-inspired science fiction or a favorite pastime of millionaire geeks like James Cameron. But, engineers in San Francisco are hoping to change that with the OpenROV project -- an open-source underwater robot for exploration and education. The OpenROV is a shoe-box sized robotic submarine made from off-the-shelf parts.

- Delicious Apps and Lunch SelectionOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/24/2014We work near Union Station and visited The Kitchen as a small group of three for lunch, and everything was absolutely delicious. The hummus and rustic bread was so fresh and flavorful, and the roasted nuts had a wonderful glaze that wasn't too sweet. Two of us ordered the Colorado Wheatberries and Heirloom Squash. It definitely did not disappoint: filled with local ingredients (the wheatberries were grown just up the street) with citrus undertones - perfect for the season. We will definitely be returning!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Won't go back.KatieHDined on 11/21/2014I read the reviews (which were stellar) beforehand and was excited to treat my boyfriend to a great experience with amazing food. I don't know if they were having an off night or what, but the food was NOT what we were expecting. We started with the mussels, I didn't think they were awful, but I've had much better for much less. My boyfriend really didn't like them at all, said they tasted "farmy" whatever that means. Main courses - my boyfriend got the ribeye, (most expensive thing on the menu) and it was way over seasoned...extremely salty. That's just not really acceptable when you are spending $40 on an entree. I had the parpardelle which was just ok. We split a dessert, which again, was just ok, nothing special. Not trying to be picky, but when you go to a restaurant and spend $150 for two people, you expect it to be delicious. We don't typically spend that much on a night out, so it was disappointing to say the least. Service was really good and the restuarant has a nice ambiance. Giving it 2 stars based on the food alone.
- Good restaurant, uncomfortable seatingMamawantstakeoutDined on 11/17/2014Our food was very good, and inventive with stuff I've never seen on another menu (wheatberries and squashm for example). I had the lamb, and my companion had the wheatberries and squash, and we split the spiced eggplant appetizer. Service was great. My only complaint was that we were seated at a high table and the chairs were so very uncomfortable that I found myself longing for our lovely dinner to end. If they replaced these chairs it would be a much more pleasant dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Didn't DisappointColoEljayDined on 11/15/2014Love this place! We'd been to The Kitchen in Boulder several times and loved it. This is just as good. Great food, great staff and servers, beautiful space. My only complaint...I left our doggie bag on the table and didn't have my wonderful leftovers to enjoy the next day!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BradDined on 11/14/2014The service was outstanding. Very personalized without being overbearing. The cheese plate had excellent pairings. Cocktails were fun. The seafood platter was very good and plenty of food. We were there for my wife's birthday and the server brought us bubbles and a homemade toffee bar. We'll definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and ServiceDrDaveDined on 11/13/2014I sat at the bar and had a fantastic meal with great service. The bar staff were all very accommodating and attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thank youOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 11/13/2014The staff at all levels is so professional, never a "...sorry, not your server..." all just make the guests comfortable. My server went above and beyond to ensure the kitchen made my meal allergy-free. Salmon was delicious...salad with hazelnuts was to die for! Dessert next time.I would recommend this to a friend.
- gem on 16 thparkerguestDined on 11/9/2014Great fresh, organic lunch. Menu has something for everyone including some unique, flavorful creations.Special Features:
- Great ServiceFoodies4food2nightDined on 11/8/2014Calling all Foodies! The menu selection gave a lot of variety for everyone in the party. The server gave great advice on wine pairings to go with each dish. Great experience!!!!Special Features:
- All around wonderfulJulia228Dined on 11/7/2014Delicious and unique cocktails at the bar, friendly staff, great service, fantastic wine recommendations, incredible food (amazing vegetarian options), great ambience. We loved everything about Kitchen Table! We will definitely be back next time we're in Colorado :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Most excellentFoodieDined on 11/6/2014There were 4 of us and each of raved about our meal. Our server was attentive and very pleasant. It was a perfect evening!Special Features:
- Top NotchFoodsnobDined on 11/6/2014This is perhaps my favorite place in Denver! I love the freshness of the food, changing menu, and the staff. The first place I recommend to others. I would put the on par with some of my favorites in San Francisco and a little place calle Bar Acuda in Hanelai.Special Features:
- Excellent!JohnVIPDined on 11/1/2014We made the mistake of going to The Kitchen Denver when it was still fairly new when they were still ironing out the inevitable bumps that occur when a new restaurant opens. The menu was variable and things just didn't make for the kind of dining experience you expect from a franchise as well known for quality as the Kitchen has always been. Therefore, it took us four years to return, and boy are we glad we did. We both loved our entrees (a fish special and a pork chop). Service was splendid, wines extremely good and well chosen (by our waiter) for what we were having. And the desserts (apple tart and toffee pudding) were to die for. No doubts any more. Go and enjoy!Special Features:
- Quite and nonspectacularBobbyeVIPDined on 10/31/2014I do not think I would return to the kitchen. It wasn't greatSpecial Features:
- tennisfoodieDined on 10/30/2014"Ingrid's" lobster and mussels were outstanding! Will definitely return to try some other dishes.Special Features:
- Denver TreasureDrJohnDined on 10/29/2014I thoroughly enjoyed my evening meal at The Kitchen! The staff were pleasant, knowledgeable and expert in their service. Moreover, they worked as a cohesive and evidently happy team. Good service will only get you so far if the entress fail to live up to their billing. However, my meal matched the flawless service and from starters, to entree, and on to the dessert, my expectations were readily met.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Better atmosphere than foodJackVIPDined on 10/25/2014Great outdoor patio and bar, thought the food was average. Put off that we had to ask for bread. Good sturgeon and lamb burgers, average soaps, dessert and wine. Won't go back.Special Features:
- Foodies Rejoice!downtownDinerDined on 10/22/2014What an amazing restaurant - every time I eat here it's just as good as the first time. Our entire table got lamb burgers and they were all cooked to perfection and piping hot when they arrived. The fries were also hot, crispy, and just salty enough! Have I mentioned the ketchup? No? Well. The ketchup is made in-house and my husband is addicted. I think he'd drink the stuff if he could. It's good. Really good. The ambience is a fun, lively place at lunch. Plan on speaking up with your group as it's rather loud in there! Service is a bit slower at lunch but totally worth the wait. Try it. You won't be disappointed.Special Features:
- Great place for dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/17/2014The Kitchen never disappoints! Food was great, servers were incredibly knowledgeable about the ingredients in their dishes, and very helpful. We never regret our choice to go here.Special Features:
- OverpricedKatrnDined on 10/17/2014Small menu and overpriced. Service was ok, not great. I enjoyed it but at the end of the meal, I thought I could have gotten the same meal somewhere else for less.Special Features:
- Almost Perfect!AnnaDined on 10/16/2014Loved my dinner at the Denver location of The Kitchen - the pumpkin soup, pork chop, and peach sorbet were so yummy, I could have them over and over. Our waitperson was friendly and provided excellent service. The place was on the noisy side, so it was kind of hard to have a quiet conversation with my dining companion. The prices were on the high side, but bought good food and good services. Really wish I were living in Denver again and could go to The Kitchen more often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Classy Place; Good FoodhappilydiningVIPDined on 10/16/2014The place was packed, which is always a good sign. We started with the mussells for an appetizer. First, it was plenty for two people to share as an appetizer. The mussells were fresh and cooked perfectly and the sauce was outstanding. We also had the Coho Salmon and White Sturgeon, both were incredible. I wish we had room for dessert, but maybe next time. There are so many wonderful restaurants in Denver, and this one is now at the top of our list. It was simply good food, good service and a place that should not be passed by if you enjoy a top quality restaurant!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Kitchen Next Door - GlendaleLoveTractorsDined on 10/16/2014Great happy hour and rooftop area. At great add to the Cherry Creek area without all the hassle of CC North. We took our son for his 3rd birthday and the meatballs rock!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Downtown Denver dineTravelerDined on 10/16/2014Great location; city vibe. Started with garlic fries (Wonderful!!) and mixed olives. Chopped salad with romaine average, added chicken. Hazelnuts good addition. Bolognese with pasta satisfying.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What happened?KatAMaroonVIPDined on 10/16/2014This was a favorite monthly drinks and dinner spot. Last weekend, Saturday night, normally happy servers we have gotten to know personally seemed stressed. We were overcharged. Overall atmosphere had changed. Manager, James, was impolite and less than hospitable. So disappointed.
- Lunch @ KitchenHungryBankerDined on 10/15/2014Reasonable lunch menu, fresh ingredients prepared well, lovely space on 16th street mall.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyed it, as always.AKXYDined on 10/10/2014Celebrating my wife's birthday I made reservations a week ahead and asked for a "nice table" and we were not disappointed. The food was exquisite and our server, Abby, was not only knowledgeable about the selections of food and wine, she was also very attentive to our needs. It's always a pleasurable experience to eat at The Kitchen.Special Features:
- JeBeDined on 10/8/2014Tried the pigs ears for fun with out of town guests. Delicious sauce and prep, but like putting lipstick on a pig, just doesn't work. I must say our lamb and chicken and sturgeon entrees were delicious, especially liked the sturgeon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Twice in two days!AtlantaVisitorDined on 10/6/2014I'm in from out of town and found this gem by doing a Google search on "great Denver restaurants." I was not disappointed. Everything was just wonderful. We had the humus, greens, and garlic fries for appetizers. All were fantastic but the greens were just scrumptious. The bolognese was delicious and the quinoa was loved by my colleague. Just can't say enough great things about everything we had. We loved it so much, we came back for a second night instead of going to other highly recommended restaurants. The atmosphere is busy and the noise level is medium inside. We sat outside both nights and found it to be very peaceful and comfortable.Special Features:
- Need PointsDenverdoesfoodwellDined on 10/5/2014Our party of seniors enjoyed our first visit to The Kitchen, very handy for downtown events. Open Table is likewise a very handy service, but I have a problem with restaurants that take advantage of Open Table for their reservation system but don't participate in the points program. I believe that restaurants who enjoy the service of Open Table should be required to award points or they don't get to play.Special Features:
- 16th St. Mall LUNCH SPOTJeepDined on 9/30/2014Really nice spot for lunch (haven't tried dinner). Fairly quiet, not average mall traffic. Nice fresh seafood, comparable pricing with all other nice lunch spots.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- everything done rightOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/27/2014I have been here twice while visiting Denver, and really am impressed. Excellent menu, filled with so many things I want to eat, and they do not disappoint. I generally like this trend of local, farm-to-table, new American dining, but it isn't always as amazing as it sounds. Here, it is amazing. I loved our appetizers, mussels in amazing broth, cheese, oysters, and also had a perfectly cooked pork chop. Desserts also cannot be missed. Wine and beer is well-selected. Decor is simple and comfortable. Reservations were not too difficult to get.Special Features:
- Save room for dessert!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/26/2014The Sticky Toffee Pudding and Chocolate Nemesis are ahhhhmazing!Special Features:
- Great for special occasions!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/26/2014The portions where perfect, the food was delicious! It's pricey but totally worth it!Special Features:
- Allergy Friendly FeastOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/26/2014My husband and I celebrated our 8th anniversary at the Denver Kitchen Cafe on Wazee and had a wonderful experience! I was especially thrilled that I didn't have to remind them of my food allergies after noting them at time of reservation. They immediately offered foods safe for me... And the allergy friendly selection was large. The food was flavorful and colorful- so delicious, servers were conscientious, friendly and prompt, and I love the rustic modern aesthetic. Great way to celebrate! Well done.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaurantRyanKVIPDined on 9/24/2014Very professionally run establishment with enough humility to keep you comfortable but seriousness to keep you marveled.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice place for lunchDISGUSTEDVIPDined on 9/23/2014Service was good, food was great liked the restaurant and will return again. I had Portobello mushroom sandwich and it was very tasty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- the KitchenOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/22/2014The Kitchen is simply a great and consistently good restaurant. The service is always extremely professional. The food is at a very high quality level and consistently good.Special Features:
- Great experience!SuuuzDined on 9/21/2014First time there, I got the Hanger Steak, my boyfriend got the Small Seafood Platter and it was all amazing! The Seafood platter is a dream come true for any seafood lover. The crab legs were our favorite. The server was very knowledgeable, friendly and was personal with us. Multiple team members helped out throughout the evening which is always appreciated. A must for everyone to try!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Raw chicken not once, but twicebconjackDined on 9/21/2014I ordered the chicken breast dish and it came out raw. Sent it back and it came out raw still! Server was wonderful and took off the check. All the ambiance of a high school cafeteria. Husband ordered quinoa and broccoli dish. He was unimpressed also. Will not return to this restaurant

The next post will include many photos and many stories. Please subscribe to this new blog for a dear friend.
trying to locate milton. friend speaks to him frequently and lost contact over a month ago. his phone is disconnected and he has not called. He always called every few weeks.
this message is on behalf of Janet Morse former abt dancer and friend from early 1950′s. lives in Iowa. trying to find his bldg manager to see if he is still there and well. Janet is very concerned as they were l ifetime friends.
Diana Levy
Also, Diana, tell Janet Morse that this blog will become a repository of the remains of Milton's photos, in subjects other than dance, like day-fishing life on day-rental boats. Each spiral bound book of about 40 or so shots in each. I made the Harkness Ballet blog which has a plurality of his photos. I always promised him I'd make sure his work was seen and appreciated, so I have about 200 books coming my way. Milton had already sent me 4-5 books of never-seen-before shots of major dancers in major companies in addition to the Harkness shots he allowed me to use. Then the audience (c.15,000) networked and emptied a lot of old shots and Harkness tales and debauchies of the early 1960s and 70s . . . into the HarknessBallet.wordpress.com
So, I have a lot of NYCB, ABT, Joeffrey, Graham, Julliarrd (sp?), and most especially, decades of shots from Luigi's Jazz classes [Luigi had a stroke at 83 or 4 . . . came back to teach from a wheelchair while his companion; Milton seemed to be there daily, as half dancer/half photographer. Luigi had been hired to teach jazz to the Harkness trainees [of which I was one in the summer of 1970] I was so taken with Luigi, and he was so encouraging of me, I was there nearly every day that he wasn't at Harkness.
All of this is to say, please subscribe to this blog and/or befriend me as mickey morgan on facebook. In the year and a half or so of the Harkness blog, so many people were reconnected, Pat Machette Tuzer and Tanju Tuzer held a Harkness reunion a few yeears ago that really was the driving force for reconnecting dance vets as we learn the lessons of aging. This reunion was really the foundation of the Harkness blog, so lots and lots of those of the dance world are getting closer . . . hope these last upcoming dance shots have an impact and are respected for the man's life work. He doesn't care about money. He just wants his photos to be seen and [did I tell you? each book has a corresponding CD-R with his voice, trying to identify as many people as possible, page by page, that ends up going on and on into the most wonderful story-telling as one looks at the photol] So, I'm rather slowgoing these days, but it is something I promised him I'd do [find a place where his photos could be completely works of pleasure for thye viewer. Milton has been trying to get a museum or university to take over all his work and preserve it as professionally as possible. Christie Oleaga, his niece is next of kin, so the photos essentially belong to her. Decisions are still being made as to what to do with 7, 8, 9, thousand books and CDs that Milton, in his bibliophiliac ways [contagious . . . I too confess to such love of books.] And finally, the Library of Performing Arts in Lincoln Center already has a truckload of Milton's best dance photography . . . which is so like Milton . he just GAVE them to them, negatives and prints. They may still be in a dusty corner in boxes in the basement of the library.
What an essay! Thanks for reading. Let me know if you reach him . . . as usual, he's slightly over-drugged as the staff do at such places . . . for the sake of control and malleability. But that's another essay.
Hey, Diana and Janet, I feel a circle is growing. Amazing. Can't wait to hear from you.
michele morgan (aka mickey, aka mickeypamo)
Hi Diana. I am Milton's nephew, John. I google him today and found this. I am so sorry I didn't do this earlier as he passed away today.

A MESSAGE TO MY MOTHER Lyrics - Hank Williams
Recorded by Hank Williams, Sr.
Words and music by Hank Williams, Sr.
NTRO: [G7] [C] ...[C7] (Notes to last line of first verse)
[F] Take this message to my [C] mother
It will fill her heart with [G7] joy
[C] Tell her that I've met my [G7] Saviour
God has saved her wand'ring [C] boy.
[C] The tears and sorrow I have [G7] caused her
How I wish I could re-[C] pay
But tell her I'll be waiting [G7] for her
We'll meet in heaven some glad [C] day. ... [C7]
How she cried when I left her
I know it filled her heart with pain
She said, "Son, please don't leave me
For we may never meet again."
Years have passed since that parting
But I know she waits and prays
Soon I'll cross that dark river
Please let her know that I was saved.

Apr 21, 2011i love ratchet and clank and i believe it to be one of the things the Xbox gamers wish they had there are only a couple issues that i had which is why it does not get a perfect score from me. when i bought this game it had been a while since i had played a ratchet & clank game and was excited when this came out and i wasnt disapointed with the good graphics many weapons to use and awsome voice acting and laugh out loud moments that make me smile and as always the story is top notch and has a couple twists that you dont see coming. one problem though is the length and although it is an awsome game there is only about 10 hours of game play if you arent trying to get all the skill points and extra figures to get and can easily be compleated in a weekend i wish they had continued to make the games multiplayer to add some replay value. also the extra battle items i found to be next to useless as i almost never used them except for the Mr Zurkon and i think they could have just left these out. you should not miss out on this game and you will be playing through it a couple times so you should defenatly pick this up… Expand
Dec 26, 2012I've been a R&C fan since the first game came out, and I'm still a fan. Tools of Destruction, however, was a bit of a disappointment for me. Over all I still enjoyed the game, but I felt that it was inferior to most of the previous titles. The story line was original, but not very engaging. The gameplay was roughly the same as the old PS2 titles, which is fine, but I feel like the developers should have taken the opportunity to improve. I feel like the weapons and gadgets you can get in the game were all recycled from previous titles. If you're a R&C fan, I would recommend this game simply as a continuation to the series. For everyone else, you may enjoy a single play through, but it doesn't have much replay value.… Expand
Dec 17, 2012I love Ratchet & Clank, always have and always will, love different weapons and dialogue, great game :) it will keep you busy for a while, and it pretty cheap to buy now as well.
Feb 22, 2013I just love this game, even though there is no trophies, the game was fantastic. Even though there is no online, even though there is no multiplayer, these things don't matter when everything else that was included was done superbly, the weapon level ups (except the omni-wrench), the variety of weapons, the humor, etc. Sure the ending wasn't great, but the game play was fantastic. I'd call it a fair sized game, even though I beat it in about a week, even so I didn't do absolutely everything (collecting gold bolts, leveling up all weapons, beating the game on challenge mode, etc.) Overall, 8.7/10 (I hope Crack in Time is this good or better)… Expand
May 15, 2013If you've played Ratchet and Clank 3 think that but shinier on the PS3. The gameplay is essentially the same which is fine because it is a near perfect mix of platforming and shooting. The enemies and planets you visit vary and the story is good to. It also introduces the villian of Captain Slag, a side villian that manages to outdo the game's main antagonist Emperor Tachyon in charm and making him strangely likeable for a selfish robot space pirate. The weapons are great as always with the massively OP Rhino and Alpha Cannon fun to use. Clanks sections are a bit annoying but nothing major still a great game and is worth playing.… Expand
May 24, 2013The Ratchet and Clank series has been a childhood favorite of mine, and I felt terrible when the PS3 games came out because I didn't have one back then. Now that I have one, I got this one for my birthday, and I can say this is one; if not the best, Ratchet and clank game. Luckily with the jump to another system the gameplay is still intact, and feels as great as it did back then. The animation is pure eye candy, and does not get in the way of playing the game. The animation is so great that it feels like your watching a movie, and being a apart of it only adds more the adventure. Like with all Ratchet and Clank games, there's a lot of weapons to choose from, all with unique abilities. Also the puzzles with motion control are actually very good, sometimes they're difficult, but too much so that it's impossible. With great animation, variety in weapons, and some interesting puzzles. This is one of the best Ratchet and Clank games to date.… Expand
Sep 6, 2010Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction is awesome. The first game of the Future trilogy. The graphics are lovely and detailed and the levels huge and interesting. The plot is also interesting, the weapons just as bonkers as ever (especially the Alpha Cannon), the gadgets such as the Groovatron are funky (loads of laughs guaranteed seeing a boss your facing dance to the beat!), the dialog is funny and it is quite a big adventure. One for the fans of Ratchet and Clank.… Expand

Nov 26, 2011Ratchet and Clank were one of the biggest mascots back on the PS2, and seeing the mechanical duo again in their first PS3 game with Tools of Destruction is a must own platforming title for the PS3. Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction consists all the things we loved about the series back on the PS2 games, but with updated visuals, new charming characters, six-axis controls and a new story premise in seeking more about Ratchet's race origins for the first time to newcomers and R&C veterans alike. This game would have been a perfect 10, though a couple of the clunky six-axis controls (The Decryptor puzzle game for example) and the unexpected rare crash that happens before one cutscene on planet Mukow bumps the game down to a 9 instead. This is the game that made me want to get a PS3 in the first place and it is a must own title to add to your PS3 collection.… Expand
Nov 4, 2011Ratchet and Clank series has never let me down except for the All 4 One game , but it is still a great series. A fun platformer with puzzles, humor ,and more. Anyone can enjoy this fantastic game.
Nov 26, 2011Introduction: I love 3D platformers. I think Spyro The Dragon for the PS1 was the first 3D platformer so it's interesting to note that the makers of that game made the Ratchet & Clank series. Gameplay: You start out with a wrench and a pistol-like weapon. Every weapon except the wrench can be upgraded to level 5. You upgrade weapons simply by hitting any enemy with it. The stronger the enemy, the faster your weapon will upgrade. Each upgrade increases your weapon's power, and on the 5th level your weapon gets a certain additional effect that makes your weapon more powerful. Additionally you can use raritarium (purple crystals you either find in chests or falls randomly from enemies) to purchase additional upgrades to your weapons such as faster rate of shooting, more ammo, or even special upgrades that add additional effects to your weapons.
For the first bit of the game the difficulty felt ridiculously easy to me but thankfully the enemies do become more powerful. The controls are great and very easy to learn, and if you hate using the sixaxis function (some minor parts of the game involve the sixaxis function) you can disable that so you could use the left stick instead. Jumping from platform to platform and railings to railings is incredibly smoth and easy, there'll be no frustrating deaths here due to that. If you love treasure hunting this game has it as you'll be wondering around huge beautiful maps trying to find gold bolts and raritarium chests. But that's optional, you don't have to do it if you don't want to. The enemies are varied, challenging, and fun to kill. Weapon upgrading is ridiculously fun, I've spent countless hours focusing on upgrading my weapons just to see how powerful they get when they become level 5 and fully upgraded. The one fault I can find with this game is that it still does not have trophy support and it seems that the developers have no intentions of adding it. Without the trophies I have to take out half a point so I give it 9/10 for gameplay. Story: You're a Lombax, the last Lombax. An evil genius emperor named Tachyon has killed all the other Lombaxes and he desperately wants to kill you. He reminds me of Dr. Robotnik from the Sonic series. I'd say they're both equally cool villains. Alongside you is Clank, a small robot that helps you out by giving you the ability to float in the air a bit increasing your jump distance. He also helps you in other ways but I don't want to spoil how. With 3D platformers I'm more interested in exploring and admiring the beautiful worlds rather than the story, but the story for this one did occasionally have me wanting to find out more of why Tachyon did this or that. I give it 8.5/10 for story. Graphics: Well it's almost 2012 and I'd say the graphics have held up very well. The color selection isn't perfect in my opinion, I like vibrant greens especially in grass and trees, and this game doesn't have much grass or trees. Still some worlds look so beatiful they'll have you opening your mouth wide open in amazement. Framerate seemed rather smooth to me. I'd give this a 9/10 in graphics. play Time/Replayability: It took me almost 30 hours to beat the game on my first playthrough but I wasn't in a rush I was having so much fun upgrading weapons and treasure hunting. If you were to try to beat the game as fast as possible I think you could do it in about ten hours. When you beat the game you have the option of playing it all over with all the weapons you've unlocked and with all your powerups but on a much harder difficulty, or you could choose to have the game timewarp you to before the final boss encounter so that you could finish exploring the previous worlds you've been to. I'm very satisfied with my playtime but I wish this game had trophies so I'm taking off a point for that. I give this a 9/10 for Play Time/Replayability. Final Recommendation: If you like 3D platformers at all then buy this game immediately! You won't regret it. My final score is 9.5/10.… Expand
Dec 7, 2011lovely game that has not aged well. that is as conclusive as you can get now. when sixasis controls were cool, this came out. when this came out little else good was out. it is still a good game, probably better than a crack in time.
better guns and storyline, and great humour. this is the best r and c on ps3. but some features are now uncool.
Apr 20, 2012Tools of Destruction had a terrible mission to accomplish: to take the mascot-powered Ratchet & Clank series into a new console generation; and that usually goes bad. But Tools of Destruction pulls it off with flying colors. It is a great game and a worthy addition to the series. Graphics are beautiful and colorful, making you feel like you are playing a cartoon. The soundtrack is addictive and voice acting is masterful. The story represents a turn for the serious as it kicks off the ''Future'' arc, but that is done in a very smart way and the series maintains its fun and light dialogue. Gameplay remains unchanged, but for some reason at times I felt that Ratchet was a little bit more mechanical and sluggish than in the previous installments. The new arsenal is as great and creative as ever, from the disco-globe launcher Groovinator (which makes all enemies stop firing at you to dance) to the new brilliantly named rocket-launcher Negotiator. Tools of Destruction is the best mascot-like fun you can have in this generation of consoles.… Expand
Feb 12, 2012ratchet and clank: tools of destruction is an amazing 3rd person shooter/plat-former with awesome game-play, an interesting storyline, good music, it doesn't really have much faults at all.
Nov 15, 2012A great entry into the series, although slightly shallow in wisecracks, and far too short. Having said that, the formula remains strong thanks to upped graphics and fantastic gadgetry and weapons, although it is far from being the essential game of the series.
Jun 17, 2012Amazing graphics, perfect controls, and a variety of incredibly powerful and unique weapons make this an amazing game for anyone to enjoy. If you've never played a Ratchet and Clank game before, you will most likely love this game, but if you have played the series before, you will still love it, but it may feel a bit stale. The lovable characters, great story, and outrageous weapons will infatuate newcomers, while the old formula could turn off long-time fans of the series who would like to see some change. The fighting and exploring style of the game is great, but it could end up feeling like you've played the game before. This is really the only issue with the game (if that's a problem for you, and personally I'd be fine if they made a million games with the same style) so if you still love running around slaughtering your enemies with a vast array of crazy weapons, then this is definitely the game for you. If this fighting style is just too old for you, then maybe you would be better off with Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One.… Expand
Jul 9, 2012This game continues the excellent tradition that the Ratchet & Clank series already has. While it may not be the very best R&C game to date (in my opinion, that would be Up Your Arsenal for the PS2), it still delivers with original weapons, graphics which are on par, and great voice acting. Don't miss out on this game.
Dec 26, 2013Like other R&C games this is also pure gold! The story is strong and ends very well. Shooting, platforming and space battles sooo much fun. This is one epic adventure.
Sep 11, 2012This game is wonderful. Tools of Destruction definetly has some of the best weapons in the series. The graphics truly make the game look like a movie. and it has a great story. big replay value.
Dec 23, 2012Ratchet and Clank are always of those games where you never get tired of playing.
Oct 11, 2012Having loved the first one when I was younger and then playing the following 3 I thought this game was going to be the same exciting new experience that it was then. I haven't played the original games since it came out so while I knew what to expect as far as gameplay I still thought it would a fresh feeling. I've got to say, this game did not hold up for me. I felt like I was pushing myself through it rather than actually wanting to see what was next. I didn't find the story interesting in the slightest bit and it didn't help that the audio was either out of sync or skipped and repeated at times. Visually the game was on par with my expectations and the gameplay wasn't terribly bad but it felt monotonous. It was certainly an enjoyable experience reliving certain aspects of a game I once loved but just doesn't feel like what it used to be. I'll be playing the rest of the future series in hopes that it is just a poor experience with one game.… Expand
Dec 5, 2013good great new graphics cool weapons but not really a lot of weapons actually.
controls are good,the armor sets are very different from armors from the previous games.
bolts are easily earn thanks to leviathan hunting and arena fights.
something i don't like at this game is that captain qwuark is a bit different then in the other ratchet game's and he issn't on any of the missions.
the story is okay.
the game length is fine as well and the new graphics make it look awesome.
raritanium this crystal is an extra for upgrading your weapons.
in short a good ratchet and clank game worth buying… Expand
Nov 23, 2013As the first PS3 outing for R&C this game was really fun, but it does slow down in parts (for example the Dino and snow pirate level) but it is still one of my favorite PS3 games
Sep 26, 2013Tools of Destruction marks Ratchet and Clank's first foray into the HD generation, and a fine attempt at that. Even playing it now in 2013, it's graphics hold up splendidly well with it's bright colours and smooth edges, with a silky smooth framerate to boot. Everything you love about the old games is here, as well as an expanded weapon customization system, 'Gadgets' and a variety of more open levels allowing for exploration with the Robo-Wing, hunting wild creatures and more. Despite all the positives, Tools of Destruction isn't without bugs. With multiple crashes during my playthrough and numerous other small oversights, the game isn't a perfect experience, but it looks great, plays great and is one hell of a great game to play. Aye, Tools of Destruction is the best Ratchet game since Up Your Arsenal, and deserves every bit of praise it gets. Final Score: 8.6/10… Expand
Oct 19, 2013Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction really has a number of good remarks. For one, the graphics (especially for a game made in 2007) are absolutely mind blowing. The gameplay combines a shooter, a platformer, an rpg, and even is a bit of a puzzle game! The story is absolutely engaging to all gamers of all ages and has a nice control interface. In conclusion, this game blew my mind!
Dec 5, 2013Tools of Destruction is a fun and addictive game thanks to all the explosions and destruction you cause throughout the adventure. There are a few balancing issues with the weapons as some that you get near the beginning of the game do absolutely nothing against the enemies found later in the game.
Jul 18, 2014This was the first game I played on ps3 and I'm glad this was it the first ratchet and clank was one of the firstever games I've ever played and I've played all the ratchet and clanks available on the ps2 as for this game its everything a ratchet and clank game is supposed to be everything will be very familiar with a few added things such as the integration of the six axis remote I didn't enjoy it for a few things but most of the time I liked the use of the six axis the story was also very nice I enjoyed it a lot it tells a lot about backgrounds and such the weapons which have always been crucial in ratchet and clank I didn't think they had that amazing uniqueness that most ratchet and clank games present but then again I have played all of them so I may be used to it but overall everything was pretty enjoyable except it did feel pretty easy to me.
Good story, good gameplay, bright detailed colorful graphics everything about this game is pretty good… Expand
Nov 17, 2014This game was amazing.
Gameplay - Still fun and still awesome. With the addition of some epic parts like grinding while a Giant Robot cuts the rails and a ship chases after you firing missiles and lasers. Or running through the city trying to avoid falling to your death as the ground crumbles beneath your feet with enemies chasing you. New Weapons enter the fray but as a previous Reviewer mentioned some of these weapons seem recycled from the previous games. Not all of them are like that though there are some weapons here with more originality and depth in this game. There's also some cool gadgets too.
Story - Ratchet learns of his origins and discovers the secrets of the Lombaxes and Cragmites. Meanwhile Clank meets new friends who give him new and strange powers. The story is interesting and good there is also some humor in it too like in previous R&C Games. Space Combat kind of sucks in this one I like it better in a Crack In Time.
Graphics - Very Good for a 2007 Game the graphics are amazing I was in awe when it 1st came out but I never played the game until 2014 which kind of sucks but money doesn't grow on trees unfortunately.
Soundtrack - David Berguead is the perfect composer for this game and he should continue doing the music for the series until it ends or until he dies because no one can do it better. A Crack In Time just wasn't good without the amazing music we hear in previous R&C Games I don't know why they removed him for that game?
Characters - Ratchet & Clank were pretty much the same Qwark was an idiot like usual and the new villain Tachyon is probably the lamest villain in the entire series I did not like him at all. I prefer Dr Nefarious or Drek. Captain Slag & Rusty Pete were good characters I preferred the Robot Pirates in this game than the Goldfish Robots. Talwyn and her Robot Friends were also good additions to the game as well.
Overall - Its your typical R&C Game with amazing PS3 Graphics some new weapons gadgets and an origin story as well as Pirates Arrrr. A must play for R&C Fans and new comers as well. A Crack In Time is another game you should try if your into the R&C Series but Quest For Booty is the sequel to this so get that 1st.… Expand
Given the series orientation towards multiplayer in the final chapters on the PS2, it's quite surprising to find Tools of Destruction a solely single-player experience. With a handful of mini-games Tools of Destruction can be rushed through over a weekend, with the only real replay value stemming from Insomniac's traditional selection of Skill Point challenges to achieve on every level.
The single best game you can find on the PlayStation 3 right now, and at the end of the day, it's the best in the series. If you own a PS3, you need this game in your library. It is the absolutely definition of a must-have title, and right now is the front-runner as game of the year, hands down.
Not only one of the best looking PlayStation 3 games, it's incredibly enjoyable, with some excellent weapons and some brilliant action set pieces.

New Afghan joint in Des Moines
- j
- jwagnerdsm Jan 25, 2007 08:16 PM
Anyone in the Des Moines area try the new Afghani place in Beaverdale yet? It's where India Star used to be, next to Cooney's. Hoping it's good.
I went there for lunch today. I don't have time for an in-depth review but I did enjoy the visit. It appears that they only offer a buffet for lunch and have a menu for dinner. I'm not familiar with the cuisine but it was very similar to Indian. If I get a chance I'll write more later.
Haven't been, but yesterday's paper says they will serve traditional Afgan foods, lamb, shrimp, chicken kebabs, curry etc.
No alcohol for now.
My most recent find is the Bosnian Grill on Merle Hay and Urbandale. They make a Gyro on grilled Bosnian bread that is full of nicely spiced meat and big enough for 2 meals. $4.99 it's one of Des Moines best sandwich deals. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other things on the menu.

<i>they will serve traditional Afgan foods, lamb, shrimp...</i>
Screech.... back up. SHRIMP is a traditional Afghan food? Umm... is my world map wrong? Isn't that a landlocked country?
re: dougrw
I'm giving you what the local paper said. I would not profess to know Afghan food.
re: jwagnerdsm
Bosnian Grill is on the southwest corner.
Let me know what you think if you try em.
re: revsharkie
A little more information? Me too. You tell me what you are looking for, and I'll tell you where to find it.
The place is on Beaver Avenue just south of Douglas on the west side of the road. Very small so you might miss it easily. It's called Aryana. bobfrmia might have a different opinion but I am also a fan of El Aguila Real for good, inexpensive and fast Mexican in a nice decor. We have a pretty good restaurant scene in Des Moines, I think. At least it's improved greatly from the time I moved here 16 years ago.
Star Bar on Ingersoll is good. I just at at the other Tapa bar in town last week. It's called the Continental and it's in the East Village, which is just east of downtown and in the western shadows of the State Capitol. Lucca's is also very good. Continental seemed a little pricey to me (plates were between $5 and $10 and not all that generous of servings.) Mondo's seems to be the place everyone goes to these days downtown. I like it but don't love it. If you are on an expense account you might try 801 Steak and Chop. I love the Steak Del Monico; it's always perfectly prepared. The service is good there. Everything is ala carte and so it is VERY expensive. There's a newish Tapas place in the suburbs that gets great reviews but I am NOT a suburb type of person so I've never been. Waveland on University has pretty good breakfast. I also like Michaels on Beaver for biscuits and gravy. I also think they have the second best tenderloin in Des Moines.
My web site (www.essentialiowa.com) has a little bit about the food scene in Iowa. E-mail if you have morequestons. Sorry if I told you more than you want to know. Looking forward to Bob's response since I think he knows a lot more about Des Moines food than me. Wish I could get him to write for my website.

re: jwagnerdsm
Michael's has the 2nd best tenderloin in Des Moines?
Who tops your list?
El Aguila Real is ok. Haven't been for a few years. I prefer El Rodeo's Chile Colorado. Can't seem to get away from it when looking for Mexican. There is a mexican grocery strore on E. 14th a couple blocks south of Euclid. When the weather is warmer they set up a tent outside and cook pork to either buy by the pound, or they'll make you tacos. A buck each, and the meat is fantastic. Try it this Spring.
My knowledge of the Des Moines food scene is not nearly as extensive as you may think. There has been so little participation from Des Moines, that I get asked a lot of questions. I try my best to answer them, but I rely on friends I trust for a lot of info. Truth be told, I don't eat out that often, mainly because I love to cook. When I do go out, I'm more of a bar and grill guy. Given the choice between Tapas at the Continental, or a Tenderloin from Michaels, it'll be the tenderloin 9 out of 10 times.
I avoid chains at all cost, although I got a gift card for Biaggi's so I'll try it out.
One of my favorite meals is an F&O's combo and onion rings from Felix and Oscars. Don't care much for the pizza, but the sandwich is one of the best in Des Moines, imo.
Best sandwich deal in Des Moines? Gotta be the Sausage sandwich from Kelly's Little Nipper on e.17th And Grand. A true dive bar they put a full 1 lb slab of Grazianos Italian sausage on a 1/2 loaf of Rotellas bread, smother it in cheese, sauce, and hot peppers, for about $5.50. That's the kind of find that makes me happy.
My son just had dinner at Chefs Corner Kitchen on Beaver and Franklin. Said he had a fantastic Steak De Burgo. I trust his taste, after all, he likes my cooking.
re: Bobfrmia
I haven't found the best tenderloin,yet. But I know it's out there. I think the Library is awfully good, especially the wings and the tenderloins (both breaded and w/o). I am also a big Chef's fan. I love the hash browns and the smoked prime rib, a trick I stick haven't figured out.
re: jwagnerdsm
Tenderloin? Did someone say "Tenderloin"? I'm a fan of the sandwich at the House of Bricks in the East Village. For a bar the place has remarkably good food.
We went there for lunch today and thought the buffet was quite good. There's not a great variety of offerings, but the food is fresh and it has good flavor. We wanted a little more spiciness, but we're familiar enough with Afghan cuisine to know what role, if any, chilis play in it. We'll likely go back for dinner soon.
re: toddmundt
Lunch with Diane Rehm? LOL.
Intriguing. It's not my first time through Des Moines--I live about a hundred miles away and have to go there for meetings and other things from time to time--but that sounds worth trying. Don't know that I've ever thought about Afghan food, much less in the middle of Iowa.
re: toddmundt
Sorry, couldn't resist
I found it! I had to stop in Des Moines on my way home from a meeting in Newton, and after a trip to Dahl's for some groceries I can't get at home, I headed on up Beaver and found the place.
I was pleased with the food, although for the most part I had no idea what I was eating or just how it was supposed to be eaten. They had some chicken (I knew what to do with that), some okra in a spicy broth, a stew featuring chickpeas, kidney beans, green limas, and some other beans & grains I couldn't necessarily identify, and then these things that were like pierogies, with cheese and herbs inside, smothered in a sauce that included yellow split peas, spices, more herbs, and I think some yogurt. Then there was a sweet lumpy stuff that I assume was like rice pudding--although I didn't really know for sure when I first picked it up, and tried a little of it as a topping on some raw cabbage before deciding that wasn't probably what was intended.
Cardamom seems to be a very important spice at this place. There was lots of it in just about everything, including the cup of hot tea I had.
I liked it. Seemed to be just these two fairly young guys running it, and one or two other people in the kitchen. Hope they can make a go of it.
Dang. I live one block from there and still haven't made it. (But threw together some crab cakes for dinner so that was a nice alternative. I am going for lunch tomorrow and will share my opinion. That spot was the launch pad for a good Indian joint that moved six blocks away. It's nice to see our ethnic choices broaden some. I like the pho places, the Thai places, etc., but with such a large population of Sudanese here I would think that we could support more African restaurants. (The new one in the Drake Neighborhood is spotty, but very good when they are on.) I miss the old Korean joint downtown. Cheap, fairly good food. We do need to support these places.

Grateful traveler
We rented this property to bring our family together for the Thanksgiving holiday. We could not have asked for a more perfect place to be. The photos while stunning cannot portray how amazing this house truly is. It had everything we could possibly need or want and John (the owner) could not have been more pleasant and accommodating to deal with. The house was impeccably clean and decorated in a true Victorian manner. Each of the bedrooms had a distinctive decorating style. I kept walking through the house saying, "I can't believe that I am actually staying in a house like this!" The huge gas fireplace in the main sitting room was a cozy gathering space for our family to sit and talk or to play games. The pool table was a huge hit with all of us. The housekeeper was pleasant and very welcoming to us when we arrived. I would recommend this property to anyone. We had fun shopping in the nearby Lake George outlets and also a cute restaurant/gift shop called the Silo. Although we didn't rent this property for a wedding, the grounds are absolutely beautiful (even in late November) and cannot imagine how stunning it would be in the spring and summer months. We hope that we can come back sometime in the summer to enjoy the outdoor gardens, sitting areas and the pool. I also wanted to mention that we had a toddler with us and she had a ball toddling through the house from room to room visiting with everyone. Highly recommend! Outstanding property.
Cousins Reunion
The property was as advertised. Everything was clean and well maintained. The owner and property manager was always available to answer any questions that we had.

The Cavalier baseball team departed for Durham on Monday, the site of the 2009 ACC Tournament. Virginia enters as the sixth seed and look for its second straight appearance in the championship game.
The Cavs enter as part of Group B, along with second seeded North Carolina, third seeded Clemson, and seventh seeded Duke. Virginia opens up with Clemson on Thursday night at approximately 8:00pm. The Cavaliers and Tigers did not meet during the regular season, though Clemson could prove to be a challenge right out of the gate. The Tigers are 19-11 in ACC play this season.
Friday finds the Cavaliers facing North Carolina. The Tar Heels took two of three from Virginia during the regular season. UNC is 41-14 overall, 19-10 in conference play.
Virginia will face off with Duke on Saturday in the Cavaliers' final game in group play. The Cavs took two of three from the Blue Devils during the first weekend of May. Duke is 15-15 in the ACC.
The Cavaliers are looking to get back to the ACC Championship Game for the second consecutive season. Last year, they topped North Carolina and Florida State en route to a title game appearance, where they faced Miami. The Hurricanes eventually won the match up, 8-4.

Take time off to simple your thoughts and function on your relationship.
Most of this marriage retreats are generally religious in character and you get to do a number of workouts that help you get to know each other better. Most couples do not believe that heading away on any form of retreat will achieve anything to help the relationship.

It's by no means too late to make issues exercise in your relationship and if you are prepared to discover how to communicate to your spouse then a retreat is just what you need. Far away from the trouble of town lifestyle is what it is all about, in a calm and calming scenario, exactly where you discover all forms of meditation and ways of how to make your marriage function.

Grammy-winning rapper Jay-Z has won some recognition for his Super Bowl XLIV performance earlier this year by being awarded with an Emmy award.
Details of his accomplishment hit the Internet Tuesday (May 3).
The Brooklyn, New York rapper received the Sports Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition/Direction/Lyrics for his performance of "Run This Town" during Super Bowl XLIV. The epic performance, aired as the opener to the football game, featured Hov in a dapper suit surrounded by the E.S. Posthumus music group. As he rapped along to the cut, footage from NFL games cut across the screen. Additionally, Jigga man collaborators U2 were honored with the award for their performance with the Soweto Gospel Choir during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. (Hip Hop DX)
Jay's Super Bowl performance helped kick-off the annual football championship finale.
Opening with a single pianist on a Steinway, the song began with Rihanna's recorded voice singing the song's hook, then showed Jay walking into a gothic room with high ceilings and the black-clad orchestra packed onto a stage. Jay, wearing a cool tux with no tie, performed his verse while holding the golden Super Bowl trophy high, as action clips of both teams scrolled behind him. The song continued, cutting between footage of Jay at the orchestra's helm, football footage and action-heavy shots of the orchestra members performing. (MTV)
The taped spectacle was assisted by New Jersey's Rutgers Symphony Orchestra.
The Brooklyn rap icon will appear in a Super Bowl XLIV music video on CBS with the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra and respected conductor Kynan Johns. The two-minute clip will air just minutes before the 6:28 p.m. kickoff between the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints. Johns, the director of orchestras at Mason Gross School of the Arts, said appearing in the music video will be "outside the mainstream of classical music." He added of the hip-hop-rock-classical mash-up, "It doesn't happen in our realm." The video shoot is set to take place this week in New York. Johns hopes that the classically-trained students taking part in the Jay-Z showing will see that "it takes a lot of time to get pop music to that level." (VIBE)
As of late, Jay has been working on his upcoming Watch the Throne joint album alongside Kanye West.
If you thought "H.A.M" sucked and thought that Watch The Throne thing wasn't happening anymore, think again. Kanye West and Jay-Z are preparing for "Lift Off," the first single from their highly anticipated long-awaited collaborative album, and have snatched up Beyoncé and Bruno Mars for the Jeff Bhasker-produced number impacting radio and your iTunes music library sooner than you think. Yeah, that definitely explains the random trips to Paris. (Complex)

Dolf Brouwers
Dolf Brouwers (31 August 1912– 23 September 1997) was a Dutch comedian, singer, and television actor who rose to fame late in life playing the character Sjef van Oekel in the 1970s satirical television shows aired on VPRO, written and directed by Wim T. Schippers, Ruud van Hemert, Gied Jaspars, and Wim van der Linden.
Born in Utrecht in 1912, Brouwers grew up in The Hague and held various jobs including hairdresser, travel guide, and vacuum cleaner salesman. He loved operetta and tried without success for a career as a singer, having only one minor hit. In 1972 he was discovered when he auditioned as an extra for the Wim T. Schippers television show De Fred Hachéshow (he was friends with the show's lead actor, Harry Touw), and quickly rose to prominence. Schippers created the character Sjef van Oekel for Brouwers, who returned in two later Schippers shows, Barend is weer bezig (1972–1973) and Van Oekel's Discohoek (1974).[1]
The van Oekel character was ancillary in De Fred Hachéshow and Barend is weer bezig, both of which had Barend Servet as the lead, but central in Van Oekel's Discohoek, where he played the host of a music show on television that parodied popular music programs of the era. In Het is weer zo laat! (1974) Brouwers, who was 67 at the time, plays Waldo van Dungen, a bumbling and chaotic nightclub owner. Formerly a waiter at the club, van Dungen had married a rich admirer, Gé Braadslee, who buys it for him; he renames it Waldolala.[1]
As van Oekel and van Dungen, Brouwers was a striking character with a large television presence, and equipped with large glasses, a tuxedo, and a "Hitler mustache". His sense of humor corresponded with Schippers'; both were extraordinarily fond of and gifted in creating puns and using unorthodox and humorous syntax and diction.[1]
Brouwers recorded many Schippers-penned and other songs, most of which comic and dramatic. With Manke Nelis he recorded "Vis wordt duur betaald" (#46 in the Dutch charts in 1988[2]), but his best known song is probably "Vette jus" ("[Sauerkraut with] greasy gravy"), a dish still associated with him in a song that is little more than a list of Dutch dishes.[3][4][5] The song was first performed on the 1974 Christmas special for Barend is weer bezig; it was written by Schippers, Gied Jaspars, and Clous van Mechelen.[6]
Whether van Oekel was just used or also abused by Schippers and others was the topic of a 2004 theater production. According to Hein Janssen, writing in de Volkskrant, it is certainly true that Brouwers jumped at the opportunity to become a celebrity, but the extent to which Schippers and the other writers and directors pushed Brouwers (he balked, for instance, at having to simulate sex with an inflatable doll) is questionable.[7]
