Wheeling Nailers' goalie Scott Darling made a save against the Orlando Solar Bears late in the 3rd period and Bears' forward Ryan Cruthers kept poking at the puck. Eventually the puck crossed the goal line and referee Don Jablonski signaled that it was the tying goal to make the game 2-2.Darling was so upset that Jablonski let the play go on for so long and that he eventually gave up the goal that he got up and threw the net at the referee. Darling was given a penalty on the play, and the Solar Bears went on to win the game 3-2 in overtime. I've seen goalies throw tantrums before, but never attack a referee before; he'll be lucky if he doesn't get suspended for this.[Puck Daddy Blog]

Me and Shakespeare
My Late Life Adventure with the Bard
Herman Gollob
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
On the eve of retiring from a successful publishing career, Herman Gollob attends a wonderful Broadway production of Hamlet starring Ralph Fiennes. Galvanized by the splendor of the language, the drama and the acting, he discovers an insatiable passion for all things Shakespeare. He reads broadly and deeply about the plays, discusses them with some of the great actors, directors, and teachers of our time, and soon finds himself teaching a popular Shakespeare class at a small New Jersey college.
Gollob's quest leads him to Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford-on-Avon; to the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C.; to a summer course on Shakespeare at Oxford; and to London's recently rebuilt Globe Theatre. As he pursues his glorious new obsession, Gollob reflects on his family's bittersweet history, his encounters with writers, and the emergence of a Jewish identity that inspires some original ideas about Shakespeare's plays. Me and Shakespeare is a joyful memoir that attests to the power of literature to re-invigorate our lives at any age.

(Newswire.net — May 10, 2016) — The Entertainment Software Association released their annual Essential Facts About The Computer and Video Game Industry study. The finds of the study shine light on who exactly is playing video games and exactly how, when and why they choose to spend their time like this. The data from this year's study is not only enlightening, but it is crushing many stereotypes that live in the gaming industry.
Michael D. Gallager, president and CEO of the Entertainment Software Association explained that the gaming industry is changing everyday and will continue to impact daily life.
"Video games are the future. From education and business, to art and entertainment, our industry brings together the most innovative and creative minds to create the most engaging, immersive and breathtaking experiences we've ever seen. The brilliant developers, designers and creators behind our games have and will continue to push the envelope, driving unprecedented leaps in technology impacting everyday life for years to come."
Video games are indeed the future. In fact, more than half of all United States households have at least one member that plays video games regularly. These households each claim to own at least one device to play the video games. However, many believe that this large group of players is made up of teenage boys, but the study proves otherwise. The study describes the average video game player is divided almost equally between the genders, with just slightly more being males. The average game player is also around 35 years of age. The most surprising fact of the study is that more than 40 percent of women are players of video games. These women are made up of middle-aged women and contribute to almost half of all video game sales.
Another common aspect gamers share is their love of social games. Gaming experts say that gamers crave a social aspect in games. They would rather play with friends or family members, and when playing alone they prefer online multiplayer games.
The study also broke down what kind of devices were used to play these games. More than 55 percent of gamers say they use a PC, while most others prefer a gaming console. Rounding out the gaming devices are smartphones, tablets and other handheld devices.
Another myth when it comes to the common gamer is what motivates them to spend their time playing these games. While there are some that use gaming as a way to de-stress or relax, a large percentage of those who participated in the study say they believe that gaming provides mental stimulation and educational purposes. Popular games, such as Color Switch, have been touted as simple, entertaining games that can exercise the mind.
It has been proven that certain games can help boost learning in children and young adults. While there has been a long-standing debate over the effects of heavy video game use, many pediatricians are saying that responsible gaming could do great things for a child.
"These tools have become so powerful that a few pediatricians are now rethinking the American Academy of Pediatrics screen time guidelines. Why? Because so many parents are having positive, nurturing, bonding experiences with their kids and their iPads," writes Greg Toppo, a reporter for USA Today.
As the gaming industry continues to grow and change, we will see gaming infiltrate all aspects of lives. Gaming experts say that these games can be used for more than entertainment purposes.
"We will see games everywhere around us. I'm not explicitly talking about 'gamification' or thin applications that strip games of their depth. We will see deep and immersive experiences that will transform learning in and outside of school, workforce training, medical treatment, social interactions, how people practice and rehearse real-world skills, and of course, entertainment," explains the president for Games for Change, Asi Burak.

Two poor days with two good ones to follow are not normally the way to win Test matches, despite England topping the 500 mark on a day interrupted and finally curtailed by rain. However, few could have predicted the bold style and character of their response with the bat, particularly against a side who had not only humiliated them at Lord's, but had made a monkey of their carefully laid bowling plans of a quick riposte here.
But cricket, perhaps more than any sport, allows its participants both the time and space to construct and rebuild careers: options gratefully taken up by Nick Knight and Alec Stewart, England's twin centurions in this match. But if the portents are undeniably good, they are also tinged with irony, with Stewart, a marginal figure until the last Test at Lord's, replacing Knight at the head of the order.
The selectors had felt that Knight's left-handedness could act as a foil to the late in-swing of Waqar Younis - the opposition's most penetrative bowler - which is at its most lethal in the middle of an innings, when the ball has had time to roughen.
But if the selectors deserve credit for their masterplan, Knight deserves even more for implementing it to perfection. Batting out of position is never easy, less so at this level, where the insecurity of moving down the order gnaws at confidence like a wharf rat at grain-filled sacks.
With that in his mind, Knight, 26 and in only his fifth Test, responded in the most emphatic and unambiguous way possible. A response which Graham Gooch, his former captain at Essex would have wholeheartedly approved of, despite the batsman's unexpected move from Essex to Warwickshire two seasons ago.
At the time, there was much acrimony, as Essex accused Knight - a product of the county's Felsted School - of selfishness and greed. However, it has undoubtedly been the making of him, allowing him to emerge from the penumbra of Gooch's substantial shadow and into the breezier dressing- room climate of Warwickshire's young upbeat side. A side whose infectious confidence has allowed him to prosper.
It was that confidence that shone through yesterday and he was a batsman transformed from the largely strokeless nudger seen during two Tests against the West Indies last year. With England still well in arrears, he forced Pakistan to go ball following and at one stage Mushtaq had three men protecting the leg-side boundary against Knight's improvised cow shots and sweeps.
His dominance, despite Russell's crabbed resistance at the other end, forced Wasim Akram into taking the new ball. An almost unprecedented undertaking since the visitor's discovery and use of reverse swing.
Swing that has only fleetingly been glimpsed here, a lush and damp Headingley outfield prolonging the ball's condition and thus its reticence to swing in reverse. The net effect on a surface with some slow even bounce is that bowling giants have become mere mortals again: a transformation England will do well to remind themselves of when they find themselves batting to level the series in 10 days time.
Even so, the new ball immediately accounted for Russell, who, trying to parry some awkward bounce from Akram, merely succeeded in knocking the ball back on to his stumps off an inside-edge. With only two of the top six failing (Atherton and Thorpe) Russell will find his position under threat for The Oval should England feel the need to play five bowlers. If not, the selectors will have the almost impossible and inhumane task of axing someone in the runs.
Undeterred by the dismissal, Knight launched into Ata-ur-Rehman, driving him past cover and pulling him in front of square on the leg-side. With 21 coming from three overs, the fast bowler was quickly replaced by Mushtaq, who accounted for Chris Lewis, when an attempt to pad away the googly caused the ball to richochet onto the stumps.
Dominic Cork then arrived in time to share in Knight's jig of joy at reaching his hundred, a moment Raymond Illingworth greeted with expansive applause. However, he will not have been happy with Knight's dismissal, airily driving Waqar to mid-off. England may have saved this Test by bold batting, but their bowlers have still to look dangerous. Today is their chance to make an impact.

Then there is Lord Nolan, the judge brought in by the Prime Minister to calm public anxiety about the ethics of MPs. A rebellion inside the Tory party now threatens the proposed Nolan rule book. Meanwhile Sir Richard Scott sits polishing his long-delayed report on arms sales to Iraq.
The latest conflict is a vicious campaign against Lord Mackay, the Lord Chancellor. Led by the Daily Mail, this attack has so far come in three waves. First, against the Family Homes and Domestic Violence Bill, sent back for re-drafting after being falsely dubbed the "Live-in lovers' Bill" by Mail headline writers. (The Bill actually extends protection against violence to those who are neither spouses nor partners.) Then came the assault on the Divorce Bill, whose central purpose is to prevent marriage breakdowns leading to pointless and costly argument about "fault"; the Bill substitutes a mandatory one-year cooling-off period to encourage reconciliation or, where that is impossible, orderly discussion about children and money. This "anti-family" Bill may not now make the Queen's Speech.
The Mail went for the hat-trick yesterday by suggesting that Lord Mackay is about to sanction involuntary euthanasia in response to a report by the Law Commission, the official body that makes proposals on complex new areas of law. If backed by government, these are then framed as legislation for Parliament to consider. In vilifying the commission as a relic of the permissive 1960s (yes, the Mail is still haunted by this faraway decade) the newspaper yesterday lambasted the "twice-married feminist" Mrs Justice Hale, who served on the Law Commission from 1984 to 1994, as yet another enemy of family values.
Apart from the personal hypocrisy of the people who own this newspaper and who write this claptrap, two things are going on here. The first is that a Parliament stung by its own shame and failure into accepting external scrutiny of its members' financial affairs is peevishly sniping back. Judges were brought into the political process in a new way because of the perceived crisis of legitimacy of our politicians. Now the politicians and their press baron allies are seeking to discredit the judges and law officers.
The second is a growing conservative backlash on personal morality and "the family". It first hit the political mainstream with Mr Major's self- imploding "Back to Basics" programme and has been buttressed by the conservative moralism of New Labour, partially inspired by communitarianism. The fact that Lord Mackay is, as the Prime Minister put it last week, "one of the most civilised, decent and humane men" will not stop the propaganda. Mackay is painted as the politically gormless tool of dark, permissive purposes.
As the election approaches, there will be more of this. But before blocking your ears, remember that most of this talk about "family policy" has little to do with the way we really live. A third of children are born out of wedlock; policy-makers cannot ignore such realities. And for the Mail to dress its social authoritarianism in Burkean Tory robes, insisting that the best government is the least government, merely underlines its deep confusion.
So next time you encounter a right-wing political tirade against the judges, remember this. The politicians can see the judicial tanks on their lawn and they don't like it. Rather than set about serious reform of the democratic institutions over which they preside, which is the only way they will regain respect, too many parliamentarians prefer the good old ways. Blame the 1960s. Blame Europe. Blame the judges. Such diversionary rhetoric will not blow away the public's disenchantment.

NO.1 David Wherley Jr.
Witnessed Event: U.S. Response to September 11, 2001
On September 11, 2001, David Wherley Jr. was the commander in charge of the 113th Fighter Wing at Andrews Air Force base, in Maryland. After the attack on New York City he took orders from the Secret Service to dispatch a fleet of aircraft to protect the White House and the Capitol. Wherley was an important 9/11 witness. He played a role in ordering the tactics used by the U.S. government in response to the terrorist activity. Wherley was mentioned on multiple occasions in the 9/11 Commission report. He later acted as the commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard, from 2003 to 2008.
On June 22, 2009, David Wherley and his wife Ann boarded a Red Line Washington Metro train (#214) in Northeast Washington, D.C. While waiting for their train to leave Fort Totten station, it was struck by an oncoming Red Line train. The Wherley's train was rear-ended at a high speed. Nine people were killed in the accident, including David Wherley and his wife. It was the deadliest crash in the history of the Washington Metro. Several survivors were trapped in the rubble for hours, and approximately 80 people were injured.
A preliminary investigation found that the accident occurred when the replacement of a track circuit component failed, which prevented certain signals from being reported. Survivors described the crash as like "hitting a concrete wall." According to Daniel Kaniewski, a former Bush administration homeland security official, the overall emergency response to the event was "calm and ordered." He indicated that the U.S. response "during extraordinary incidents has significantly improved" since September 11, 2001.

Although our judicial system was arrange for the benefit of the common individuals, no frequent person can actually understand it! That's when the help of an attorney proves invaluable. It doesn't matter what your causes for needing the services for a lawyer are, the next article will help information you through the ordeal.
Ask for a free consultation. Many lawyers will supply a free session, so you can have your questions answered. In the course of the session, you can also see if you are comfortable with that lawyer. Always go to a couple of free consultation so you've got mixture of legal professionals to select from.
Attempt to avoid a lawyer that does not have a particular space of regulation they focus on. There are legal professionals throughout that specialize in different fields of study. Hiring considered one of them will improve your chances of success because the particular person you hire will know precisely what they're doing once they step into the courtroom.
A great tip to recollect when trying to hire a lawyer is to ensure you discover a lawyer that has the necessary experience that you simply're on the lookout for. If you're going to court docket soon for a prison case, it wouldn't make sense to deliver on a divorce lawyer, you'll need a prison lawyer.
For those who want authorized assist, don't necessarily use the lawyer you've worked with up to now. Chances are you'll need a specific sort of attorney, someone who focuses on the type of case you might be involved in. Don't worry, although. A specialist is not necessarily costly, so you must be capable of afford what you need.
When you've got been charged with against the law, are in an accident or think you want authorized assist, you should rent a lawyer. The period of time that you simply wait to make this decision could be a crucial issue. You need to have someone in your side that is aware of the law as shortly as doable.
Do not permit yourself to guage an legal professional based mostly on how good their ads are. The reality is that an legal professional that's reputable doesn't have to promote to get new purchasers. Look into your lawyer's background and use what you find that will help you make the choice about whether or not or to not hire them.
Know where a laywer's office location is when considering one. Someone situated uptown goes to have larger rent and overhead than someone further out. Those costs are passed on to clients. Look for somebody in a cheaper location who has found out easy methods to leverage the Internet to keep their costs low.
It is best to wait some time after you meet an legal professional earlier than deciding whether or not or to not rent them. After the primary meeting, name a number of occasions to see how long it takes for them to get back to you. If it isn't an acceptable time, it is best to hire someone else.
While you could consider that paying extra results in greater quality, it doesn't. You are paying for the time of the lawyer, and their skill level does not essentially equate to their pay fee. In the long run, it is the period of time they spend in your case which inflates your bill, not their experience.
Keep away from representing yourself in court docket. Your scope of data could also be restricted on the given topic. It is against your best curiosity to represent your self in a legal trial. Your life may be on the line, and a legal case is nothing to joke about. Having the choice does not mean you must take it.
Bring your lawyer's contract dwelling and skim it earlier than you sign it. There might be lots of positive print in a contract that may make a huge distinction when it comes to fees and what you'll be able to expect out of your lawyer. Make certain that you will have read the contract in full to guarantee that there are not any surprises.
The legal system is meant to serve the people, but most of us can't even perceive the jargon used by a decide. Hiring a good lawyer is a very powerful part of your authorized ordeal and hopefully, you might have found the answers you needed inside this article. An incredible legal professional is worth his weight in gold!

The life of Claus Moser is a reminder of the bounty bestowed upon this country by refugees, for this escapee from Hitler was the Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, Chancellor of Keele University, a Chairman of the Royal Opera House who prevented it losing its standing as a world-class company, and the supreme fund-raiser for the British Museum in its present splendour.
He was also a major adviser to the governments of Harold Wilson, Edward Heath and Jim Callaghan, the director of the Central Statistical Office and the inspiration behind its irreplaceable annual survey of the country's domestic arrangements, Social Trends, a banker at NM Rothschild and Sons, a member of the House of Lords, and who helped many Jewish charitable committees. In the course of his long life he was called upon to chair a very large number of other arts and professional associations, including the Economist Intelligence Unit, the British Association for the Advancement of Science and the Royal Statistical Society.
But above all he loved music, and served on the governing bodies or boards of the Royal Academy of Music, the BBC Music Advisory Committee, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Those lucky enough to have heard him play himself, for example at the Sheldonian in Oxford in 1996, when his friend the late Harvey McGregor retired as Warden of New College (Moser had stepped down in 1993), will remember the zest and passion with which the two former Heads of House attacked their piano duet.
This larger-than-life, almost supererogatory curriculum vitae belonged to a dapper, elegant man with brown eyes, fine features and a huge, winning smile, and only a faint, slightly rolled "r" in his speech to remind you that English was not his first language. He was born in Berlin in 1922, where his father was a prominent banker and his mother an accomplished pianist. "We had a lovely house in the centre of Berlin and another on the edge of the city to which we used to go at weekends," he told Angela Lambert in this newspaper in 1992. "We had an English governess, so I was brought up in rather a traditional style. Berlin between the wars was an incredibly cultured city. There were four opera houses, endless concerts: music dominated my life." He began playing the piano at the age of five.
By 1929 his father had already realised that Jews had no future in Germany, and was prepared to leave with his wife and two sons, though they only actually departed on the death of Claus's grandmother in 1936, by which time his father had been able to make arrangements to leave with some money and possessions. "I remember," he said, "the day as though it were yesterday – 30 January 1933 – watching the torchlight procession that signalled the beginning of Hitler's reign… My worst Berlin memory began in the spring of 1934. Every morning in school we 30 boys would be sitting in class, and the teacher would come in and say, 'Heil Hitler!' Everyone would respond, 'Heil Hitler!' except the two Jewish boys, who were not allowed to. We didn't want to, but all the same it was a daily public humiliation. Often we were beaten up in the playground."
He flourished at boarding school in Surrey: "I was 13 when I began at Frensham Heights, a rather progressive, co-educational school with a strong bias towards music; and the school gave me four years of total happiness. It was very welcoming to refugees; a place of freedom, tolerance and happiness. I learnt there to be myself."
When he left school in 1939, he told my wife, his father wanted him, instead of applying to go to university in Britain, to train to be a hotel manager in Switzerland. He did apply for jobs with Sainsbury and Joe Lyons: "They both turned me down because of my German background." Then came the one episode in his life when he was treated badly by his new country: "I was then interned with my brother and my father. I was only there for three months because at 17 I was under-age. It took the government a long time to release people who were wrongly interned. There were a lot of suicides. We were desperate to get into the war, to fight, and here we were behind barbed wire."
Released from the enemy alien internment camp in a newly built but untenanted council estate at Huyton, near Liverpool, he was rejected by the RAF. During his time in the camp he had assisted a mathematician who conducted a survey of the cultured, civilised Austrian and German refugees so foolishly interned there, and this gave Claus a taste for statistics, which he then went to study at the LSE. In 1943 he got what he called "rather a splendid degree" – the best First of his year; and he met Mary Oxlin. "I thought she was very attractive, but in with rather a fast crowd, while she thought I was the most tremendous snob," he said, accounting for why they did not marry until after the war.
He then re-applied to join the war effort, though the RAF would not let a German train as a pilot, which he found "terribly hurtful." In late 1943 he finally "went into the RAF as a grease-monkey." At first he was unpopular, but gradually realised that "it was because I was a Mr Know-All. I had never met working-class people before, and they didn't like my cockiness." With a change of attitude he "ended up doing research for Bomber Command at High Wycombe."
After the War he taught at LSE, and in 1947 became a British subject. He sat on several "outside committees, using statistics to solve problems", and got to know the economist Lionel Robbins, who changed his life by asking him to be statistical advisor to the Robbins Committee on Higher Education. Soon he became a public figure, and by the time he was 45, Harold Wilson had invited him, a Labour supporter, to become head of the Central Statistical Office. For the next 10 years he was, he recalled, "at the centre of power… I had always wanted to use statistics to illustrate what was happening in the world; above all anything to do with poverty or injustice."
In 1974 the recently knighted Sir Claus became chairman of the Royal Opera House. "From when I was five years old in Berlin I wanted to be a musician, and music has been central at every stage in my life. Whenever I was depressed or overtired I used to go to a rehearsal or a performance. I have had more happiness in that place than I can explain." He struggled to keep standards as high and ticket prices as low as possible, encouraged Jeremy Isaacs to apply to be general director and was instrumental in securing Bernard Haitink as music director of the ROH.
Then in 1978 Lord Rothschild unexpectedly invited him to join his bank, where he stayed six years. "I have never been rich," he said, "and I'm not actually very interested in money. I don't think I have quite the killer motive that one needs to be a really successful banker. I have a house in London and a cottage just down the road from Glyndebourne; a chalet in Switzerland, and a little house in Oxford."
He was an ideal Warden of Wadham College, where his democratic hospitality made him popular with undergraduates. He was Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University from 1991-93. In 2001 he was made a life peer.

Sunday Girl Crush: Gigi Hadid
Not one to give up centre stage (or should we say runway?), Gigi stole the spotlight this week at the star studded American Music Awards. Flaunting her killer abs in an all-white errthang crop and skirt combo, it's hard to know what got more attention - her flawless physique or fierce new do!
Go for a little bit naughty, a little bit nice like Gigi and strut it in a strappy crop and midi co-ord. It's all about the barely there!

Hampshire Police Volunteers To Provide Life-Saving Treatment
Special constables will be trained in CPR, using oxygen and defibrillators so they can be first responders if they're closest.
Tributes have been paid to a 12-year-old girl who died after being hit by a rugby ball during a PE lesson at a school.
Leonie Nice was catching the ball during a lesson at Woodlands Comprehensive School in Takely End Basildon, Essex, when she was hit in the chest and fell over, appearing to have a fit, Essex County Council said.
Emergency services were called after the incident, just before noon yesterday, and Leonie was taken to Basildon Hospital but died soon afterwards.
Andy White, headteacher at Woodlands, paid tribute to Year 7 pupil Leonie as a "promising, delightful and kind girl".
He said:
"Leonie Nice, a year 7 pupil, was catching a rugby ball in a PE lesson when she was hit in the chest by the ball.
"Leonie keeled over and appeared to go into a fit. Our trained first-aiders gave CPR at the scene and the ambulance arrived quickly.
"Leonie was taken by ambulance to Basildon Hospital where despite everyone's best efforts, Leonie was pronounced dead.
"The pupils and parents have been informed of this sad event and students who require support are being looked after by our own staff and specialist staff from Essex County Council's support team.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time. Leonie was a promising, delightful and kind girl who will be greatly missed by all the staff and pupils of Woodlands School.''
Gary Sanderson, spokesman for East of England Ambulance Service, said:
"First and foremost our thoughts are firmly with the girl's family at this tragic time.
"The ambulance crew arrived at the scene within one minute and found the girl in a critical condition. Following rapid treatment and stabilisation, she was taken to an awaiting medical team at Basildon Hospital where sadly she died shortly after."
Essex Police said they were also called to the scene.
Tributes were also left to Leonie on Twitter.
One, from @ShannonHernaman said:
RIP Leonie-Jo Nice; a beautiful girl, resting with the angels - heaven only takes the best; we all love you; sleep tight angel.
Another, from @chlomurph_x read:
R.i.p to our beautiful friend leonie-Jo nice,a stunning girl that was only young, hopes to her family, we all love you, our gorgeous angel.
The incident comes a fortnight after 16-year-old Kyle Rees died after being struck by a cricket ball at Portchester School in Bournemouth, Dorset.
A 16-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of manslaughter was released without charge and police confirmed the schoolboy's death was a "tragic accident'' .
Special constables will be trained in CPR, using oxygen and defibrillators so they can be first responders if they're closest.

When was the last time you went to a pajama party?
Well, that's too long.
WAY too long!
I would love for you to come to my PJ Party on Friday night (Oct. 7) at 7 pm!
Now, not everyone will fit into my living room, so this will be a VIRTUAL party, via Facebook Live! All you need to do is hop over to Flash the Donkey's Facebook page, and I'll be posting live video so you can join in!
There will be music, games, food, and a special book reading...and of course Real Life Flash will be there too.
So, gather your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, and any other kids in your life, and let's have some fun together!
Please wear your jammies!
PS There's a video invitation on Flash's page with a sneak peek at the "party set" we've been working on! (hint: there are life-sized storybook characters involved)
The winner in yesterday's drawing for Flash the Donkey Makes New Friends is Robin Brantley. Robin, send me your address via email and I'll get a book to you asap!

Well, what can I say about Jed? This guy...
Jed....well you could say he wears his heart on his sleeve.
You never have to guess what he is feeling because it's written all over his face.
And then there's his body language:
When Jed is excited, he leaps on top of tables.
When he is mad, he harrumphs up a pile of hay bales.
When he's annoyed, he crosses his arms and looks away.
When he's happy, he grabs a ukelele and belts out a tune.
Jed is the goat who shoots from the hip, speaks his mind, jumps to conclusions, and commands the room.
He's just like that "annoying little brother" that reeeally drives you crazy sometimes.
But you can't live without him because, after all, he's the one that brings the party with him wherever he goes.
Today, we celebrate the "Jeds" we know and love. Who is it that makes you laugh, drives you nuts sometimes, and lives life to the hilt?
Please share your own special "Jed" story today for another chance at a signed book!
I loved hearing about all the special "Rubys" in your lives yesterday! I got emails, blog comments, Facebook comments and tweets, telling me about the wonderful mother-hens who take care of everyone around them. The winner of the signed Flash the Donkey Makes New Friends book is:
Jane Carver!
Jane, honey...send me your address and I'll get your book to you!

You know how awesome it is when you get to introduce people to each other that you just know will be instant friends?
That's how I feel about my friend, Ruby–and you.
See, when I wrote Flash the Donkey Makes New Friends, I knew that Ruby had to be a central character. A mis-matched collection of companions MUST have someone who's in charge!
Everyone should have a chicken for a friend, right? A mother-hen type who seems to know just what to do in any situation.
Feeling faint?
Ruby will direct you to a chair so you can sit down.
Have an injury?
She will produce a bandage and ice, almost out of thin air.
Ruby happens to have a pot of soup on the stove.
There, there. Ruby knows just how to cheer you up.
Has someone done you wrong?
Well, that ruffles her feathers just thinking about it.
Ruby fusses. She clucks. She talks to herself as she bustles about.
And always stylish, she is never without her earrings and necklace.
You can be assured that Ruby is a fine feathered friend, who will forever believe in you, worry over you, and make sure you've eaten a good breakfast. She's always got your back.
See, I knew you'd love her!
Since I'm counting down the days until you meet Ruby in real life, (when my book releases on Oct. 1,) I'd like to do a little PRE-CELEBRATING!
One lucky commenter will receive a signed copy of Flash the Donkey Makes New Friends today.
Simply let us know: who is a "Ruby" in your life? Do you have someone who fusses, clucks and bustles about your life, making sure she knows all the details?
Let's cheer for all the Ruby's of this world! Where would we be without them?? (Mine is my daughter, Lauren - a first-rate mother hen of the finest sort!)

My friends, I'm so excited I'm about to bust.
My brand new book, written especially for children and starring my dear friend Flash, will be out on October 1!
(Pause for nervous giggles!)
Here is the official synopsis:
"A Stray donkey with a penchant for inventions is taken in by a mismatched collection of barnyard friends. Flash the Donkey Makes New Friends is the heartwarming story of a not-so ordinary donkey who needs a special place to belong. Flash is the inquisitive type who loves to invent things and solve problems, but his curiosity sometimes gets him into trouble! With the help of his new-found friends–Jed the goat, Carson the pig, and Ruby the chicken–Flash manages to turn problems into adventures and learns valuable lessons along the way.
Inspired by Rachel Anne Ridge's memoir, Flash, names one of Publishers Weekly's Best Summer Books of 2015, kids will fall in love with this endearing donkey as they learn to appreciate the value of true friendship."
This book was both harder (and more fun) than I could have imagined. As a mural artist, I went into it thinking, "Pfff, how hard can it be to create 9x10 inch pages?"
Turns out, pretty hard.
I drew and re-drew. I painted and repainted. I Photoshopped and re-Photoshopped.
I obsessed. Fretted. Gave myself hip bursitis from sitting in my chair for weeks on end.
And of course, I fell in love with my characters.
Above all, I wanted to create a story that kids would genuinely LIKE. One that pulled them in and made them laugh. I wanted a book that parents would enjoy reading out loud, possibly over and over again. You know how that goes, right? LOL
Between now and October 1, I'll introduce you to the characters and tell you why I chose them!
Until then, here is one of my favorite pictures of Flash:
You can pre-order Flash the Donkey Makes New Friends on Amazon – and I'll be honest, I'll love it if you do! Buy it for your kids, grandkids, students, and friends. You can even buy it for yourself, just because you know Flash personally and should probably have one of your own!
Here's a link to a bit more about the book. Flash the Donkey Makes New Friends.

God uses ordinary events to reveal His extraordinary purposes.
Just when you think you're going in circles in your everyday life, He can intercept your plans and make His ways known to you.
There's a story told in the Bible–1 Samuel 9–of a young man who is engaged in ordinary family affairs. His father's donkeys have gone missing, and he is given the task (along with a helper) to go and find them.
The young man's name was Saul...and he had no idea that his search for a band of renegade donkeys would start a chain of events that would eventually make him king of Israel.
The mission takes the pair of young men on a frustrating journey all over the countryside.
I'm sure they were thinking, "where on earth could these pranksters be?" They would have been familiar with the inquisitive nature of the animals, and probably realized just how much ground the sure-footed creatures could cover.
After three days of looking high and low, they finally give up and decide to head back home. Without cell phones to use to check in, Saul knows his father will be worried. In one last-ditch effort to find the donkeys they seek out the prophet Samuel, who just so happens to be in the area, in order for him to inquire of the Lord of the their whereabouts.
Unbeknownst to Saul, God had spoken to this prophet the day before, preparing him for their encounter. He told Samuel exactly what would happen and how the young man would come looking for him, and that this tall teenager was the one He'd chosen to be king.
The scene unfolds just as God described it.
Samuel invites Saul to feast with him and then just before they part ways, he anoints Saul's head with oil. This sacred action marks Saul for God's purpose in a tangible way.
Saul, however, is still concerned about his father's donkeys, to which Samuel reassures him.
"Those donkeys? Pssh, don't worry about them. They've already made it safely home on their own."
The donkeys didn't even really need to be found.
Because God had had something else in mind.
You see, the real purpose of Saul's journey was not to find a group of runaway animals. It was to get him to a place of encounter with God.
The task he was doing for his father was simply a means to move him into the right place at the right time.
It was when he was out of his comfort zone, his familiar surroundings, that God brought him face to face with what would be his true mission in life.
He was anointed for kingship right then and there.
I wonder if you, too, are on a seemingly insignificant journey?
Maybe your job is one that feels like it is going nowhere. You're wandering in circles, looking for your purpose, and yet somehow you know this is where God wants you. It all seems like such a waste of time and you're tempted to give up.
Perhaps God is moving you to place of encounter.
Perhaps, like Saul, God is leading you to moment of divine appointment. A place where your vision and purpose will suddenly come into full view!
Let me encourage you.
Watch and see: His purpose WILL unfold.
People and events will cross your path through divine appointments as you journey onward....things that would never happen unless you just keep going. Keep taking that next step.
God uses ordinary events in extraordinary ways.
He is able to take a "seemingly insignificant" job and boom! use it to put you right where you need to be.
Proverbs 16:9 tells us that a person can think he's planned his ways, but God is working behind the scenes to direct each step.
I love that.
Tell me: have you ever encountered God's purpose in the midst of the regular affairs of your life? Have you ever said, "so THIS is why I've been on this journey!" ? I'd love to hear about it.
Do you feel like you're going in circles today, trying to follow God's leading but can't figure out what His purpose is? Let me pray for you, that you'd encounter Him in a way that will clearly show His care and design for you.

Two weeks ago, I was invited to be on Daystar's Marcus and Joni show. I posted photos on Facebook and Twitter...and then sort of forgot that my dear BLOG READERS might want to see some highlights.
Sometimes, I wonder about my mental faculties. Well...
It was a THRILL to be on the show, and I'm sorry I held out on you.
You can find a link to the complete show here. My segment starts at about 15:30.
It was a good hair day, carefully planned as to when I shampooed (this was Day Two after washing) so as to have the least amount of pouf.
The real star of the show was this guy, Flash. Seeing his adorable face on the book in Marcus's hands made me pinch myself. This is crazy, folks.
Next time I get my picture taken with famous people, I'll do the hand-on-my-hip-sorority pose so my large sweater poncho doesn't make me look extra wide.
That's a BIG note to self.
One of the most fun parts of the whole experience was that Flash and Henry watched, live, from the barn.
My dauntless husband Tom dragged the TV out there so they could see it.
Then Tom sent photos to the producer, who in turn put them up on the screen...so they even made the broadcast!
I'm talkin' about ya, Flashy!
Hey, now...that's a sharp lookin' donkey!
Flash, Marcus Lamb is discussing your life lessons! That's pretty cool!
Of course, now that it's all over, I think of all the things I should have said.
Oh, how I wish I'd mentioned the specific things I learned from Flash: facing my fears, letting go of the past, finding my passion, and making the most of each day, to name a few.
And I wish I'd said:
Flash taught me that slow and steady steps are the things that make pathways for grace.
It's in those daily small, methodical efforts that the real miracles take place.
Most times, it feels like plodding.
After all, showing up day after day, is hard.
But donkeys, and people like us, aren't afraid of hard things.
We just keep walking.
We just keep working.
We just keep serving, even when nobody sees.
And that's when we experience true grace.
Thank you, Flash.
And thank you, God, for still speaking through donkeys.
Thank YOU!
I had so many book orders last week, that I'm extending the sale through this week.
Autographed books are only $16.00!
They make great gifts, and I hope you'll take advantage and order several for Christmas.
This is awesome: My largest single order to date is FOURTEEN books! That customer got all his Christmas shopping done in one fell swoop!
Anyone want to top it?? :)

When a stray donkey wandered into my life, I had no idea that I was about to learn some of life's greatest lessons. What could a long-eared, buck-toothed, braying animal possibly teach me, after all?
Turns out, plenty. Things like:
How knowing who I belong to changes everything
Where to find refuge in life's storms
How to conquer fear
How to find my passion
How persistence makes a way for grace
How to live honestly and authentically
Where to find abundance, even when you're in the middle of drought
What I'm made for - serving others in love
How to embrace change
How to make things right with others
And most importantly, I learned that my journey is not about fixing my problems, but it's about something else entirely.
Along the way, I learned the power of laughter...and it's one of the things I enjoy hearing most from people who have read the book: they've laughed the whole way through.
I've been overwhelmed by the many people who have emailed me to tell me that they are buying the book for friends. Oh my goodness, that makes me feel so happy. If you've been thinking of purchasing a copy for yourself or a friend, I want to make it easy!
This week, you can get signed copies of Flash for 20% off, when you buy them in my store.
That's like getting a FREE BOOK for every five that you purchase!
Books are signed by both Flash and me. To order, simply go to RachelAnneRidge.com/store.
As a bonus, I'm offering a flat shipping rate ($3.00 per order, plus $1.00 per book). Yippee!
This offer is only good through Friday, December 4, and only while my supplies last.
If you're looking for the perfect gift for several people on your list, I hope you'll consider this book.
It's from my heart to yours, and it's wrapped in a long-eared package that is sure to make readers feel encouraged and loved.
Please let me know any personalization you might like in the "Order Notes" when you check out. I'd love to make it special!
Thank you so much for supporting the message of the book, and this blog, which is: sometimes your answers arrive in unlikely packages.

I have such exciting news...I've been busting at the seams to tell you about it!
Flash the Donkey is becoming a children's book!
My wonderful publisher, Tyndale, will publish the book next fall so it will be in stores well in time for Christmas 2016.
I am both writing and illustrating the picture book, geared for children ages 3-7 or so.
And, I probably don't need to mention this, but this is an absolute lifelong dream come true.
Flash will come to life as an homeless donkey who is taken in by an engaging group of barnyard friends: a chicken named Ruby, a goat named Jed, and Carson the pig. Together, they have adventures, learn life lessons, and have a fun time doing it.
The story is really cute, and fun to read...and you'll find wonderful lessons to share with your child. I cannot WAIT to read this aloud to my granddaughters, who love nothing better than to sit on someone's lap and read books about animals.
What a coincidence, because I love nothing better than to hold them on my lap and read books about animals to them!
If I've been quiet around here, now you know why. (Confession: I'm also deep into another writing project, with a looming deadline...and truth be told, that's the REAL reason I've been holed up for the past several weeks.)
Beans: officially spilled.
Arms: black and blue from pinching myself
There you have it, my friends. All the beans.
Well, most of them anyway. :)
With a grateful heart, Rachel

The late summer sun has scorched the pasture, leaving it barren and dry. Oh, it still has scraggly weeds and thistles, but the grass that Flash and Henry need for daily sustenance is long gone.
This is the time of year that we have to supplement the donkeys' diet with hay.
A section of hay for each, morning and night.
And hay brings out the best, and the worst, in these two.
Henry was adopted to be a companion for Flash last year, and really...he's been just great. He was found wandering the countryside with a group of about 20 stray donkeys in Henderson County, TX. Logged in as "Henderson #10," it seemed fitting to name him Henderson–Henry for short.
Now, I don't know Henry's past, but I can tell a lot about it from the way he acts when the hay comes out.
You see, Henry wants ALL of it.
He wants his pile, and he wants Flash's pile.
Henry doesn't want Flash to get any of the hay.
He'll run back and forth between the two servings, kicking, biting and bucking to keep it all to himself.
In response, Flash lays his ears back, and tries first to get at one pile, then the other. He grunts his displeasure at the little donkey who is bound and determined to keep him from it.
Henry is so intent on keeping Flash away from the hay that he can't even enjoy it himself.
It's a classic move by someone who has known scarcity.
When you're not sure when, or if, you'll get to eat again, you try to hoard what you have against the possibility of going without.
"Henry, Henry!" I call to him. "There's plenty for both of you!"
I set more out, more than they can eat in one feeding.
Finally, Henry chooses the biggest mound of hay and begins to eat. He moves his backside toward Flash in a defensive posture to guard his portion.
Flash hangs back, then approaches his hay with eyes on Henry. Ears up, alert. Somehow he knows that Henry's still got a few tender spots left inside that haven't healed yet. He lets Henry settle in to eating before he starts to nibble from the far side of his pile.
Henry has a scarcity mindset.
He is always afraid that there won't be enough.
He's afraid that if he doesn't fight for his share, he won't get any at all.
He's afraid that if he lets Flash get hay, then he might go hungry.
Henry would rather do without, by running back and forth to keep Flash away, than run the risk of Flash eating into his portion.
He is so busy keeping Flash out that he can't enjoy the bounty before him.
Poor Henry.
A scarcity mindset keeps him from experiencing the abundance all around him.
You know what? I see myself in him. Maybe you can see yourself, too.
I see the ways that we hoard blessings, rather than risk giving away too much.
I see how we withhold love, just in case there won't be enough to go around.
I see how we can't be generous with our ideas, our resources, or our time, because we fear others might get ahead of us in the race for significance or importance.
We can't enjoy the abundance because we're worried that someone else is getting more than their "fair share."
A scarcity mindset keeps us from experiencing the abundance all around us.
It keeps us locked in a defensive posture, afraid to open up to others.
It keeps us from living freely in grace.
It takes a week of consistently setting out more hay than they can possibly eat, before Henry figures out that there will always be enough.
After several days of receiving generous portions, he is actually able to relax. He can leave leftover mounds of hay, open for anyone to take. He comes back to snack when he feels like it. He takes a nap, and lets his guard down.
He even lets Flash eat from his pile.
Henry is learning that there is always enough.
It's simple, really.
It's adopting a mindset of abundance that makes all the difference. Abundance believes:
The more we give, the more we receive.
The more we allow others partake of the goodness around us, the more we can enjoy it, too.
The less we try to protect "what is ours" the less we need "what is ours" to find significance.
The less we worry about others getting more than their "fair share," the more freedom we'll feel to live generously, openly.
Listen. Can I share this with you?
There is enough for you, my friend.
There is enough grace for today. More than you can possibly use up.
You can lavish it on everyone around you, slop it all over the place and give it away....and there will still be enough.
You don't have to worry about what anyone else is receiving. You don't have to compare. You don't have to protect what's yours.
Simply receive the abundance set before you, and let others do the same.
There is freedom in that. There is generosity, and life.
And there is joy.
Always enough joy.
With love,
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 2 Corinthians 9:8

Dynameq is software for multiscale traffic simulation. It provides an advanced vehicle-based traffic simulation and simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) that allows even large, congested applications to be modelled reliably within a single traffic model and at a consistent level of detail throughout the entire network. High-performance animations provide a 3D visualization and analysis framework that can be used for clear, detailed and intuitive presentations to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Dynameq traffic simulation is applicable to a wide range of operational and travel forecasting applications, is scalable across wide-area urban networks and provides comprehensive vehicle-level detail throughout the model. Dynameq is based on peer-reviewed research and state-of-the-art computational innovation.
Dynameq provides scalability from a single congested corridor to an entire city, all without losing detail. Vehicle trajectories over the entire network provide the transparency needed to understand what is happening, wherever it matters. There is no need to resort to hybrid approaches in order to ensure model stability and fast run times. There are no boundaries to define between separate micro and meso areas of your network, nor concerns about how the choice of those boundaries may impact model results.
When you want to run demand scenarios reaching out ten, twenty, or thirty years, the adaptive traffic simulation in Dynameq keeps the traffic in your model moving, virtually guaranteeing stable, converged results even in highly congested scenarios and without sacrificing model detail. The adaptive traffic simulation also provides new simulation outputs which identify critical bottlenecks to facilitate calibration and analysis.
Dynameq traffic simulation moves individual vehicles on lanes, with car following, lane changing and gap acceptance models and explicit signal control. This is the only way to capture the true causes of congestion – the crossing and merging of vehicle trajectories, turn pockets that overflow, late merging and queue jumping – which are part of the real traffic environment and which have a major impact on actual traffic conditions and travel costs. Modeling these complex traffic phenomena naturally leads to realistic emergent capacities and throughputs.
Dynameq is extensively multithreaded for up to 4x speedup on a typical DTA run, and is optimized both for lower RAM requirements and faster run times. A Dynameq model of the entire city of San Francisco, including all vehicle road classifications and ~620,000 vehicles of demand, runs to dynamic user equilibrium in 50 iterations in less than 4 hours and under 14GB of RAM.
High-performance 3D animations illustrate detailed vehicle trajectories and traffic signal states, permitting visualization at the individual vehicle level across the entire model area. Quickly select or screenline vehicles. Use random access to instantly access any moment in time and to fast-forward, rewind or reproduce the animation at any speed.
Dynameq dynamic user equilibrium (DUE) routing reflects how real drivers make decisions based on day-to-day learning and experienced travel times: by anticipating congestion on alternative routes. Drivers make predictive route choices, rather than just reacting to congestion in real time as it occurs, ensuring reliable route choices even when modelling wide-area impacts due to bridge closures and freeway reconstruction. And with multiscale traffic simulation Dynameq produces a better DTA, providing greater precision for scenario comparisons and improved stability for travel forecasting applications.
Dynameq helps you streamline the process of preparing your network. Smart logic and intelligent defaults drastically reduce the effort required to code large networks. Extensive network validation procedures identify potential errors even before a first model run. Add time-varying network events to define time-dependent lane closures, turn alignments and class permissions or time-of-day tolls. Get started quickly from Emme including OpenStreetMap imports. Or import from GIS networks or other formats including Synchro, Saturn, Visum and others.
Dynameq provides a generalized-cost assignment which makes it easy to create fixed or time-of-day tolls by vehicle class. Python APIs provide the flexibility to model a variety of congestion-responsive toll schemes, including HOT lanes.
Dynameq explicitly models transit-actuated signal priority and pre-emption using early/late green and phase insertion logic. And more actuated control features are on the way.
Use Dynameq's signal plan generator to produce signals for future scenarios or to fill in information missing from existing signal plans. The signal plan generator can design phases, compute timing parameters and define and synchronize corridors. The timing parameters and offsets can also be computed for existing phases and corridors.
Dynameq includes lots of other desktop features and productivity tools designed to keep your project moving:
Worksheets. View network details and simulation results on links, lanes, nodes, movements, turns and paths.
Editor. An Intuitive editing interface with lots of productivity boosters.
Charting. Built-in histograms, scatterplots and time-series to visualize and analyze network data and results.
Select-link and path analysis. Gain insight into route choices.
Python API. Comprehensive Python API for automation.
Subarea, traversal and network merge. Cut out subareas, generate dynamic traversal demand or merge scenarios together for large-scale models.
Speed contour plots. Generate high-resolution speed contour plots on corridors from detailed vehicle trajectories.
Basemaps. Add context to maps and 3D scenes with responsive basemaps. Choose from world imagery, world street, topographic, transportation or OpenStreetMap layers.
Operational Modeling Applications. Dynameq is an ideal choice for a range of operational model applications and evaluations including congestion relief strategies, corridor and lane management, construction mitigation, transit design including transit signal priority schemes, traffic impact studies, emissions modelling, event planning and much more.
Travel Forecasting Applications. The improved stability, reliability and computational efficiency of Dynameq simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment provides a strong foundation for integrated DTA and travel forecasting applications. Please contact us to learn more.

In unholy-army-of-the-night news, scientists have a new way to turn swarming beasts of the sea into unreasoning killers. Nothing is safe from their merciless aggression. Not . . . even . . . you.
Image via Brandon Bird.
Earlier this week, scientists announced they could use bursts of light to control the aggression centers of mouse brains. Once they zap these mice into aggression mode, all you can do is run. But where will we run to? These mind-control scientists, clearly bent on destroying us all, also have a marine unit of insane killer animals at their disposal. These animals aren't as precisely controlled, but what they lack in precision they make up for in disturbing Freudian subtexts.

After many months of being intimidated by Vogue 1159, I decided to tackle this one. It's a Donna Karan design--fitted, above mid-knee length dress has front pleated at back dropped shoulder, crossed fronts forming drape effect. This is the same review I posted at PR
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
What a knee slapping question--absolutely not! Okay...please allow me to have some fun and vent for a moment. I spent my Saturday cutting out the pattern and making the dress. I was thrilled at how well it seemed to be coming together even after I took a 45 minute break to work through some intimidating design and construction issues. Yes, it looks cute on the dress form, right? The cuteness ends there....
After struggling through the final details of construction, I clipped the final strings and ran to put it on.... I was horrified!! I can only describe it as an expensive-looking kitchen dress. What's a kitchen dress you ask...? I don't know, but that's what I call it. I looked like Aunt Bee (from Andy Griffith) having a "sexy moment"--the neckline can showcase cleavage. The criss-cross feature in the front jutted out too far (and, no, it wasn't my gut). All that fabric twisted and bunched together in the front just wasn't flattering. The hem hiked up in the back. And...AND...it was NOT flattering to look at from behind. I'm not positive where it went wrong. I don't think it was the print because the pattern jacket features a similar print pattern. I honestly think it may be more flattering in a smaller size (like 2...lol).
Were the instructions easy to follow?
They were a bit challenging in some areas.... The toughest part to understand was when making the final attachments of the lining and criss-crossing the fronts in order to attach them to create the shoulder seams and arm opening.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I actually thought the design of the dress was great. At the end of the day, it wasn't flattering on me.
Fabric Used:
Two-way stretch print....
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I didn't change any aspects of the pattern. In fact, I didn't even make the usual FBA
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I won't sew it again, but I do think it's a great dress. I wouldn't recommend it if you're larger than a B-bra cup. If you are, you might need a FBA--I felt like it was pulling a bit across the front and back. I would also that you not top stitch as the pattern suggests. Be careful as well when stay-stitching on a knit. That created a few problems when attaching the upper back.
I originally wasn't even going to review the pattern, but then thought someone might benefit from my lessons learned. After you stop laughing at me...tread carefully.

What a shame...Vogue 1159
Posted by Mocha Scrapper at 5:25 PM
2 comments:
Hey Mocha! I love how your fabric for this dress mimmicks the fabric of the model. I CAN NOT WAIT to see your jacket that is "on the cutting table". I have this pattern and JUST looked at it a couple of days ago. I checked out the first review that had like 70 comments and it was mentioned that there is a nice amount of hand sewing involved. Happy Sewing!ReplyDelete
Oh Mocha.... I'm so sorry that this pattern did not work out for you. After all your time put in, plus, the excitement you always feel when you start an outfit. But your description of this disaster was just too cute!! we've all been there. Hope your next project is a success!ReplyDelete

In a badly misguided touch, the walls are translucent on the set of the East End home where the play's all male family - rancid with rancour and testosterone - are incited to fresh spasms of territorial and sexual competitiveness when the eldest son, now a US-based academic, returns for a surprise visit with his English wife. But this production makes you see through the play as well as through the walls.
Usually, one reacts to this piece in a state of appalled, prurient fascination as the wife, Ruth, extricates herself from an evidently imperfect marriage by the novel expedient of consenting to remain with her in-laws in the double role of money-spinning prostitute and mother substitute. Just how much the play's creepy spell depends on the tautness of the direction is made cruelly clear by this sagging production. Under no danger of hypnosis here, your mind is left free to brood on the gaping artificialities in the drama.
Roger Michell is certainly a director to be reckoned with. His film of Persuasion has claims to be regarded as the best ever TV adaptation of a classic novel. His production of My Night with Reg offered, during its run, the finest example of ensemble acting in London. But the National Theatre has yet to see him on top form. His Olivier staging of Under Milk Wood piled on the visual imagery in a redundant effort to present to the eye what Dylan Thomas's radio play presents all too visibly to the mind's eye. Now the largeness of the Lyttelton has encouraged Michell to go in for translucent walls so as to bring on stage what is more potent when left off it.
Among Pinter's many undoubted gifts as a dramatist is hard clarity of focus. Here, the fact that we can see - or rather, dimly discern - people retreating into their bedrooms or scraping dishes in the kitchen has the effect of distracting attention from the studiedly mannered minutiae of what is going on in the sitting-room where the play is set.
Only on one occasion does this expansion of visible territory genuinely heighten your sense of the obsessive territoriality of the characters. This comes when, roused from sleep and rightly suspicious that his pimp son Lenny is hiding something from him, David Bradley's decrepit, gravel-voiced lout of a patriarch, Max, advances into this youth's bedroom. We see Lenny nervously run on ahead and sweep something (pornography?) under his bed. That's not all Lenny is concealing, of course, but this paternal invasion gives added motivation here to the son's repulsive retaliatory speech of undermining inquisitiveness about the night he was conceived.
At other points, the set is a liability. It's almost comic, for example, that the off-stage event one has most need of help picturing - Ruth's two hours of pointedly anticlimactic love-making with her slow-witted brother-in-law Joey (played here as an unappetising runt whose boxing ambitions look comprehensively doomed) - is just the one that the geography of the set leaves to your already sorely tried imagination.
There was a time when Ruth's decision to stay - a move that involves abandoning her children - was viewed as a male fantasy projection. Pinter admirers are no longer content with that defence. Anxious to see the play as an almost feminist fable of female "empowerment", they stress the sterility of her marriage, the culpable detachment of her husband, and the way she negotiates better terms for herself (she's going to be a very high-class tart). But when the rules have been invented by sickeningly odious men, where's the triumph in winning the game? To read some Pinter critics, you'd think that Ruth was an evolutionary step in the direction of Madonna - Madonna as eulogised by Camille Paglia for her "full, florid expression of the whore's rule over men". What Ruth actually represents is a regression from the Nora of Ibsen's Doll's House who had the guts to get out of a bad marriage by going it alone.
Portraying Ruth, Lindsay Duncan is a listless, provocative enigma in nylon stockings. There's nothing much else she can be here except a sphinx without a riddle. It doesn't help that Michael Sheen, playing Lenny, the pimp brother-in-law whose brutal cockiness she elegantly deflates, has been directed to emphasise the underlying uncertainty at the expense of the surface menace. A wimp in wolf's clothing, this Lenny is too much the little boy pretending to be a man. When crossed, he petulantly blows smoke into people's faces or shows off the phallically long flame from his cigarette lighter. Why would she get a kick out of cutting this nerd down to size?
But then Ruth and husband Teddy (a miscast Keith Allen) are just about the least plausible academic couple in world drama. There's a play by Pinter called The Lover in which it turns out that the eponymous adulterer who calls each day is, in fact, the woman's husband. The most rational explanation for Ruth and Teddy is that they live down the road and pop in regularly for a spot of the same kind of ritualised make-believe.
