It is our belief that a quality of life can be felt through the artistic process. We offer our participants and audiences new visions and understandings of the world around us by combining professional artistry with community spirit. The Charlestown Working Theater seeks to entertain, inform, and inspire.
To celebrate these twin, momentous anniversaries, we are announcing our first major gift giving campaign with the creation of our Annual Fund. Our first goal is to raise $150,000 over the next three years. You can help ensure CWT continues to bring excellent children's programs, adventurous theater productions and educational offerings to Boston and Charlestown for many years to come. Both the Board and staff of CWT are committed to making this possible.
We are always amazed at the support the Charlestown Working Theater's community shows and we know that with your continued help we will reach our goal to sustain our important work. Now more than ever is the time to donate.
With gratitude,
D'Arcy Goldman Board President

- CWT Core CompanyThe CWT core artistic group, led by Jennifer Johnson, creates original performances, often in collaboration with partnering artists and companies. Most recently they performed their acclaimed adaptation of The Odyssey, which played to sold-out audiences from 2009-2012. The Boston Globe called the performance "Hypnotic, beautiful, dreamy.". CWT collaborates regularly with Double Edge Theatre of Ashfield MA. Internationally CWT has created performance exchanges with Armenia's National Center for Aesthetics and Poland's Teatr ZAR, fund by the Trust for Mutual Understanding. The company is currently working on an adaptation of Strindberg's A Dream Play to premiere in 2013.
- Artists in ResidenceThe CWT presents theater companies from the U.S and abroad in its intimate 85-seat space, offering audiences the opportunity to attend performances, participate in workshops, and engage with the dynamic work of distinguished theatre companies in an immediate and personal way. CWT has presented the work of Mabou Mines (NY, NY); Double Edge Theatre (Ashfield, MA); Teatr ZAR (Poland); Theatre Kranevit (Berlin, Germany); Grupo Jicara Teatro (Buenos Aires, Argentina); Beau Jest Moving Theatre (Boston, MA); Great Small Works (NY, NY); Armenia's National Centre for Aesthetics with Versiliadanza (Florence, Italy); and Blair Thomas and Company (Chicago, IL) among others.

Twitter provides more-precise tools for targeting mobile ads
Twitter said Wednesday that it has introduced a set of tools that allow marketers to target ads at mobile users based on a wide range of criteria, including their operating system, their device, and even if they're on Wi-Fi.
In a blog post, Twitter explained how it's expanding the mobile-targeting options it's giving advertisers. Previously, the company said, it allowed mobile targeting only by operating system. But now marketers will be able to direct ads at Twitter users based on which specific version of iOS or Android they're using, as well as their specific mobile device, … Read more

Like the region itself, Provencal design has evolved from flouncy patterns and overscaled furnishings to settle into a more understated, yet still highly livable palette. And whether used as a traditional clothing chest or as an unexpected sideboard, linen storage or garden room buffet, our Maisonette Dresser is the perfect complement to contemporary French Country decor. Banded down the center with a bold, polished wood balustrade, the double drawered dresser has just the right amount of curve. Stacked lower moldings are echoed in the slim, top edge profile, and accented with angled, offset corners. Balanced, yet weighty, the classically symmetrical piece uses a traditional one-over-three design, mirrored on both sides of the central column. The top drawers feature dual hand pulls, while the lower, curved-face drawers sport a central rosette ring pull, custom forged for the piece in antique flamed brass. A surprising find, likely to be mistaken for a vintage French piece.

After all these years we're still blown away when fans have their favorite Fantagraphics characters inked permanently on themselves. Here's a few fan tattoos that have been shared with us via the Fantagraphics and Love and Rockets Facebook pages over the last couple of months: Darren Brown's arm full of Maggie, inked by Jason Mcafee at Temple Tattoo in Oakland, CA: Ghost World's Enid & Rebecca on Gastón Victorica, inked by El Buho: Dan Clowes's Blue Bunny on Nicole Radcliff's arm: Vaughn Bodé's "self" on David Dickie: A teeny tiny trio of Drinky Crows from Billy Foster, inked by Ace Farren Ford of Purple Panther Tattoos in L.A.:
Online Commentary & Diversions: • Review: "Kelso's work radiates a warmth, poetry, sympathy, and simultaneously earthy and otherworldly essence that few comics creators have brought to the table with such quiet confidence and grace. The closest comic in recent memory to match Artichoke Tales, both in breadth and depth, is Jeff Smith's Bone. [Grade] A" – The A.V. Club • Review: "...Fantagraphics' hardcover edition of The Book of Mr. Natural feels like the perfect introduction to R. Crumb's most enduring creation—and to the sexual peccadilloes that occasionally get both character and creator in hot water. ... It's fascinating stuff, and should be mandatory reading for anyone who squirmed through Terry Zwigoff's excellent Crumb documentary—or for anyone looking to get their danders up at Crumb's allegedly misogynistic tendencies. [Grade] A-" – The A.V. Club • Review: "[Editor Eric] Reynolds has done an amazing job of balancing serials with a variety of single-page strips and one-shots. Expanding Mome to include translations from international cartooning stars, short works from established cartoonists and left-field contributions from illustrators not known in the comics world have kept things interesting on an issue-to-issue basis. The eccentricity of Reynolds' taste as an editor has been another major factor in preventing Mome from getting into a rut. ...[T]his issue of Mome is a fine overall read, and the first half is especially spectacular." – Rob Clough, The Comics Journal • Review: "Percy Gloom is a moving, engaging, enlightening book. It's exactly the sort of comic readers should be demanding – thoughtful and intelligent, a beautifully drawn narrative that unfolds its layers over the course of multiple readings. Cathy Malkasian's produced two winning graphic novels, and she's clearly a talent that deserves a far wider readership." – Michael C. Lorah, Newsarama • Profile: For The New York Times, Reyhan Harmanci reports on how Mark Bodé is carrying on his late father Vaughn's legacy: "Vaughn Bodé created a world in his comics that Mark has fleshed out, making oil and spray paint paintings from his father's cartoon panels and unfinished sketches. The younger Mr. Bodé perfected his father's signature pieces: the ever-slouching Cheech Wizard, the science-fiction-inflected planet full of lizards, the cartoonishly lewd 'Bodé broads.' As Mark Bodé, 47, who is based in Daly City said, 'I am mortal and he is immortal, and the two of us work well together.'"
In the spirit of the upcoming holiday we're celebrating independence and freedom of speech by taking at least 20% OFF almost every book and comic in our Underground Comix category, including books by Vaughn Bodé, R. Crumb, Kim Deitch, Victor Moscoso, Spain Rodriguez, Frank Stack, Robert Williams and more! The sale is over at the end of the day on Friday, July 9, so don't delay! PLUS... We still have a large selection of backlist titles at great discounts of 1/3 to 1/2 off the cover prices in our Clearance Sale and Closeout Deals sections.

Online Commentary & Diversions for today: • List: Carol Borden of The Cultural Gutter names Supermen! The First Wave of Comic Book Heroes 1936-1941 as one of "10 Comics I Liked in 2009," calling it "an amazing collection of Golden Age comics and heroes, beautifully restored." • Review: "It's weird and it's different and it immediately showed me that Ganges #2 is not what I thought it was. I was expecting mopey autobio, a distant cousin of Blankets with better artwork, and instead got something that was well worth the hype. ...It's a comic about people and how they interact, held high by shockingly good art. The first ten pages show that Huizenga can do some amazing things with storytelling and the rest of the book shows his strong grasp of body language and how to make talking heads interesting." – David Brothers, 4thletter! • Tunes: Zak Sally provides a soundtrack playlist for Like a Dog to Largehearted Boy, who says of the book "Sally is incredibly inventive, these cartoons differ in theme greatly, but all come together through his dark, foreboding illustrations. This volume is worthwhile alone for the two editions of Sally's Eisner Award nominated comic, The Recidivist, but the additional works offer a glimpse into this talented artist's evolution (as do the copious notes included in the collection)." • Interview: TCJ.com begins serialization of Gary Groth's interview with David Levine from The Comics Journal Library Vol. 4: Drawing the Line (originally from The Comics Journal #178) • Plug: Poopsheet Foundation's Rick Bradford flogs Newave! The Underground Mini Comix of the 1980s • Plug: At his blog Love the Line, Richard Cowdry says Newave! The Underground Mini Comix of the 1980s "is the book I'm MOST looking forward to in 2010!" • Tribute: For Time magazine, Edward Sorel remembers David Levine (via Journalista) • Commentary: Illustrator James Gurney quotes art historian/Prince Valiant expert Brian Kane about the history of 19th century illustrated newspapers • Links: Love & Maggie provides a detailed, annotated and hyperlinked overview of The Comics Journal #38 from 1978 • Things to see: A whole mess of recent illo jobs by Steve Brodner • Things to see: Mike Sterling takes a look at an interesting Vaughn Bode rarity |

Last year, the Poteau Pirates football team suffered a heartbreaking 59-56 shootout loss on the road against the Fort Gibson Tigers. That taste of defeat did not sit well with current senior lineman Trevor Shankle.
ŌĆ£That hurt quite a bit last year losing that game after being in such a tough game,ŌĆØ said Shankle, whose Pirates will entertain those same Tigers at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Costner Stadium for homecoming. ŌĆ£I've been looking forward to this game ever since last year. Right after that game, I made my mind up that I'm going to do everything in my power to be able to knock them off this year.ŌĆØ
Of course, it doesn't hurt that there's still the drive for a District 4A-4 title and/or a home playoff game to add fuel to the fire.
ŌĆ£We're going into this week that it's a must-win situation for us,ŌĆØ Shankle said.

The future belongs to Linux
The rising generation of programmers isn't being fed .Net and Windows. It's growing strong on Linux and its associated LAMP stack, as Robert Guth of the Wall Street Journal notes. Microsoft thinks it has an answer to this trend toward Linux. It is very telling how far from reality Microsoft is by its response:
Microsoft hasn't been a player in the Net start-up world, in part because of the cost of its server product. Mr. Hilf tells [the WSJ] that Microsoft is trying to fix that with new licensing schemes that make Windows Server more affordable for start-ups....… Read more

By: Sunita Narain
The world can shape the debate on climate link in two ways. One, it can argue endlessly about the scientific veracity of the link between human-induced climate change and the floods in Pakistan. Two, the world can agree that even if a single event—like the Pakistan floods that drowned a fifth of the country— cannot be ascribed to climate change, there is no doubt that a link exists between such events and climate change. The Pakistan meteorological department's data shows the country received 200 to 700 per cent more rainfall than average. Rains came in cloudbursts in ecologically fragile mountainous areas and led to natural dam bursts and floods downstream. Rains were incessant leading to more floods and greater devastation.
On a brief visit to Pakistan this week I noted that the recent floods have left deep impressions on the country's policy and political leadership. They spoke about the scale of devastation, human suffering and the massive challenge of rehabilitation. They also noted, interestingly, that in their view there was a link to climate change.
Sometimes beginning late can be an opportunity – more advantageous then even the beginners' advantage. If a city has done nothing so far to clean up, and begins now, it is easier to steer clear of the gaffes and the clangers of the early birds.

Lately it seems that everyone is talking about screen size. Some people think 10.1 inches is the sweet spot for a tablet, some people think 5.7 inches is the best for a phone. If new rumors are to be believed, add 6 inches and 12 inches to your list of possible screen sizes.
Nokia is rumored to be working on a 6-inch Windows phone, which would be the first Windows phablet. I guess in order to carry that thing around, you'll have to get a "murse." Luckily, murses are a thing again.

Weapon for mass production
Distributed microprocessing enables control of hybrid operations, without the traditional complexity, cost, and limits.
By Samuel Herb
Communicate any information over any network using any device! That's the vision of pervasive computing, and it is a vision a new breed of process controllers is bringing ever closer to the plant floor. The benefits include greater flexibility, greater scalability, and lower costs of purchasing and operating control technology.
With previous technology, manufacturers wanting to automate simple, discrete applications had few control options other than programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Those automating large-scale process applications had to use distributed control systems (DCSs), and those running mixed operations relied on a combined set of disparate products.
In today's highly competitive global markets, however, manufacturers increasingly need the flexibility to cross traditional control boundaries to offer greater customization and tighter enterprise integration, and to run more complex processes. The need for automation in highly regulated industries is even more pronounced.
Fortunately, automation technology has been advancing steadily and has converged to a point where manufacturers can adapt automation options to their processes and budgets with greater flexibility and lower cost than ever before. Regardless of whether their operations are large or small—and whether they are process, discrete, or some combination—effective, economical control solutions are well within reach.
Discrete manufacturing operations, such as automotive, aerospace, and machining, typically require relatively simple control functions. Turning a system on and off, managing conveyors, or positioning parts for machining are typical of functions that low-cost PLCs accomplish best.
PLCs have excellent logic handling capabilities, can tolerate rough (although not corrosive) environments, are flexible, and are generally very compact. They do, however, have certain drawbacks, which become more prevalent as applications grow larger, more complex, and more continuous.
PLCs are not, for example, well suited for unit control applications that go beyond simple single-loop applications. The more control variables or controllers involved, the more difficult it is to implement PLC-based solutions. Nor can PLCs support fast process loop response times as easily, which can be disastrous for proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) control.
You can implement PLCs with human-machine interfaces (HMIs) to give users more opportunity to interact with their applications, but using HMI from any vendor other than the original manufacturer typically requires separate configuration.
And, because PLCs sell at the device level, you often need an independent integrator to configure any complex applications; the added cost can counter the low-cost advantage of the PLCs themselves.
PCs can help control PLCs, but configuration can be a chore. |
Using PCs to manage PLCs helps somewhat in extending the applicability of the PLC. The low cost of the PC makes it possible—at least in theory—to program control applications from easily available off-the-shelf components, bringing multiple PLCs under PC control. Using a PC as an HMI to configure PLCs over a network is a low-cost approach that enables easy configuration of a robust control solution at a local process. It does, however, have some drawbacks. For one, you must configure each PLC separately and exercise considerable discipline to avoid the pitfalls of operating independent systems, such as duplicating tags.
There is also no peer-to-peer awareness. Using this architecture for complex control strategies that are confined to individual PLCs requires configuring each PC to communicate with each PLC to find specific variables and configuring it again for views, again for history, again for trends, and so on. Likewise, you must configure and reconcile multiple databases.
Because the PC software defines the control strategies, they are very flexible, but the extent to which you can leverage that flexibility depends on the availability of systems integrators with sufficient industry knowledge. If you have to bring in outside services, the expense can easily offset any cost advantages to the implementation.
Traditional DCS architectures handle large, complex processes. |
The more continuous and complex discrete operations grow, the more they resemble process applications such as chemical, oil and gas, and food and beverage production, where sequences of multiple variables need regulation. Such processes were among the first to undergo automation. A central mainframe or minicomputer managed the initial systems.
Central computers enabled secure, compute-intensive operation for multiple loops, but the process control logic, user interface, and database were all part of the same system. When any part of that system went down, production stopped until a fix took place.
The distributed control system reduced that risk of central computers by distributing the user interface, control logic, and database functionality among different circuit boards within that computer, thereby reducing failure of the entire system.
Then, as industrial networks became secure enough to avoid ground loops and other "advances," it was also possible to distribute processing physically. This reduced the risk and high costs associated with mainframe or minicomputer implementations, without losing the benefits of central control.
With such architecture the user could configure the entire system from a workstation. Now, however, distributed databases were part of the mix as well. Each of the controllers could access the database of the other controllers in a peer-to-peer synchronization needed for complex strategies.
A copy of the database traditionally would reside on the workstation. Depending on the application and vendor, you might access it in real time, download it to controllers, and upload it for backup. Views, history, and trends could be configured as needed.
A significant benefit of the DCS architecture is that it allows the use of a single unified environment, often called an integrated development environment, to create the application.
This is different from PLC-based systems, which require users to use one application development package to configure the control strategy running in the PLC and another to configure the supervisory interface.
With a DCS, supervisory applications such as the database, alarms, trends, displays, and system management emanate automatically from the control strategy.
The distributed nature of the system also enables common creation of control strategies from a function block library, which simplifies creating, testing, and subsequently validating the control applications.
It is also much easier to implement redundancy at both the control and supervisory levels, making DCSs more appropriate for operations requiring high availability.
But despite such benefits for sequential, multivariable operations, DCSs were still not as well suited for rough factory-floor environments or high-speed switching as PLCs.
And, although less expensive than the central computers, the cost of implementation made DCSs cost effective only for applications involving numerous control loops.
The first generation of hybrid control systems integrated DCS and PLCs and kept many systems integrators employed. |
Although PLCs could easily do rapid discrete actions, and DCSs originally were well suited primarily for process control loops, neither was particularly good at batch control. So when a complex process needed both discrete and analog processing, a hybrid kludge would come about.
Usually such a system was custom tailored for each application, which increased complexity significantly and added costs for configuring, programming, documentation, training, and troubleshooting.
Matching different systems across multiple protocols required complex linking strategies, which increased vulnerability, slowed data movement, and jeopardized the overall quality of the process information.
These first generation hybrid control architectures involve many and all combinations, including single-loop controllers. It is also possible to implement local operator interfaces with DCS controllers or PLCs, but when this is done, the DCS and the PLC would likely be configured separately, from different configuration stations, using different methods.
In addition to being harder and more expensive to configure and change, these first generation hybrid control systems do not enable easy peer-to-peer communication and synchronization, which makes integration with advanced control or enterprise systems very difficult.
A new generation of control systems is now emerging that enables control of hybrid operations without the complexity, cost, and limitations of the traditional approach.
New architectures leverage advances in microprocessors to bring cost-effective intelligent control to discrete operations, to smaller scale process operations, and to hybrid operations integrating discrete and process functionality.
Rather than simply networking traditional DCSs and PLCs together like the original hybrid approaches, this new breed links microprocessor-equipped controllers together to form a mini-DCS. In this way, a very small operation can enjoy economical multiloop control. Or, a large organization can enjoy greater flexibility in deploying control strategies throughout its operations.
The traditional DCS got its name because it distributed the functionality of a central computer; the distributed processor–based systems take this same functionality and distribute it physically into the plant.
This distributes risk, intelligence, and processing power deeper, without losing the benefits of central control and configuration. In this way, you can implement DCS functionality economically and technically from a few I/O points up to thousands of I/O points.
Users can configure the controllers and diagnostics as a single system, like a DCS, but can also use open technology to connect controllers to other HMIs, much as they would a PLC.
Even if each control were using a different control strategy, it would be possible to enforce a consistent HMI throughout the plants to simplify maintenance and consistency of operator navigation. This also makes it much easier to implement screen and alarm hierarchies at operator stations wherever process control functions require it.
Implementing a distributed processor system delivers cost benefits at just about every level. Yet it properly permits alarm detection and preliminary management within each controller, where it belongs.
There are, for example, distributed processor–based controllers designed to control one to four loops. One of these would cost about the same as a comparable PLC, but would bring the added ability to scale intelligently to become part of a larger system.
This type of controller is a self-contained micro-DCS that can handle up to four loops of continuous control with embedded I/O. It includes a wide range of function block libraries with control structures including cascade to ratio. It is expandable, seamlessly integrated via peer-to-peer communications, has multiple I/O options, and supports batching as well.
Distributed processor-based solutions provide additional control functionality. These solutions include an advanced HMI, through which users can implement continuous control, sequential control, batch control, set point control, trending and logging, touchscreen control, and recipe management, and an I/O Network integrating with field devices over digital networks such as Profibus and Modbus.
You cannot achieve this degree of functionality with a conventional DCS, particularly as the number of control loops drops below 100. It's not worth the money.
For example, the cost of implementing a typical DCS-based industrial boiler control installation involving an operator workstation, an engineering station, 50 points of I/O, and an historian would be about $25,000 for the first boiler and approximately $19,000 for subsequent boilers in the same facility.
Using distributed processors, however, the first boiler could be done for about $19,000, with each subsequent boiler added at $9,000.
Distributed processor-based automation architectures enable control processors from workstations, PCs, or built-in displays at local controllers. |
These comparisons rely on purchase and implementation price only. There are also significant benefits that lower the total cost of owning a system. With a distributed processor–based system, standards are much easier to implement and enforce.
The graphical interface using IEC 1131 tools such as function block, sequential function charts, and structured text make tasks using ladder logic control strategies much simpler and less expensive to configure. The single database also allows users to manage the control strategy and the tag data without mistakes.
The common HMI also means that configuration can happen on any PC—even on a laptop in an airplane—and suppliers typically provide software applications, which work with standard spreadsheets or other off-the-shelf applications. This also means that any PC could be used as a process simulator (using appropriate software, of course).
The overall integration of the components of distributed processor systems lends itself to much easier database management, which means faster access to required information by the various components, as well as by the operators and even by the business systems.
Other benefits, which are not always as obvious to users—until they get into the heat of installation—are the uniformity of quality assurance that comes from operating a system as a unit and the uniform documentation that is becoming increasingly important.
This is especially important when the system needs to go through validation testing for regulatory agencies. More and more industries are requiring increasing degrees of validation.
Uniformity also means that maintenance is more consistent, not just because of the system-wide diagnostics, but because of ease of troubleshooting and the ability to review the control strategy configuration and the designer's intention.
And because training applies to more of the components, there is less training. The uniformity of system-wide diagnostics also tends to reduce ambiguity, so locating problems is much faster and more effective.
With such scalable, affordable functionality, DCS capability can be delivered to applications that previously used primarily PLCs or that were not automated at all, including the following examples:
- Skid-mounted original equipment manufacturer (OEM) projects, such as gas delivery systems
- Boat monitoring and shipboard control systems
- Municipal water treatment systems
- Boiler systems
- Waste burning
- Offshore platforms
- Ethanol plants
- Metals processing
Where there are some control points that need never integrate or require alarm, trending, and other intelligence, PLCs may continue to be the control strategy of choice. But if there is even a chance that the application will change or grow, starting out with a micro- or mini-DCS will cost no more and will offer far greater potential for process improvement.
The trend is toward pervasive computing. Control intelligence is moving toward distributing intelligence ever closer to the process, the interface is moving closer to the user, and there is at least some interest in deploying communications across the Internet.
Whether closer, more mobile, and more public communications media are better or add more value to the manufacturing process remains to be seen. This will, of course, depend on users' evaluation of their control requirements.
They must as always weigh the trade-offs to pick the control solution that fits their process at a price they can afford. What is certain now, however, is that distributed microprocessor–based computing has brought us to a new plateau of scalability, flexibility, and economy.
Each manufacturer can now base control strategies far more on their business needs than on the limitations of available technology. IT

Can we count Jennifer Aniston's hair during the first two seasons of Friends? I have not seen a salon rush like that since Farrah and our Dorothy in the 70's and Princess Diana in the 80's.
Betty in Ugly Betty by Wilhelmina Slater, Marc & Amanda, Justin & Hilda, etc.

"In no way do I think I stopped commanding a spotlight. I think I travel with one." -- Johnny Weir
Possibly but I still think the show was doomed when they began moving it around and eventually put it on Friday nights. No show EVER survives Friday nights on the major networks. I think they moved it way too quickly, if they had left it where it was it could have seen a rise in ratings because this season was the very best of all. Oh well, I will miss this show so much.
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
Both the shows mentioned with Cybill Shepherd. She particularly hated being upstaged by Bruce Willis in Moonlighting and when it happened again on Cybill, there was a lot of acrimony between her and Baranski.
My apologies if it was mentioned, but the most obvious current examples of character who has overshadowed the originally intended leads are Barney on How I Met Your Mother and Sheldon on Big Bang Theory. (Depending on what happens with the direction that Glee takes next year, I wouldn't be surprised to see Kurt begin to overshadow Cory and Rachel, plus there is Sue.)
In dramas, I would toss out as breakout characters Eric on TrueBlood and Ben and Desmond on Lost, but I don't think they upstage the main cast, since the shows are ensembles to begin with.
Going back a ways, Danny Bonaduce upstaged David Cassidy on the Partridge Family quite often.
Peace & Love, Gypsy
Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.
Chuck on Gossip Girl. It's gotten to the point where all anyone cares about is whether he and Blair are going to get back together.
I disagree. ER was an ensemble show without any title character. Clooney's character was always featured from Day 1, along with Noah Wylie, Anthony Edwards, Eric LaSalle, etc. His post-ER career has been more successful than his co-stars, but he technically wasn't a supporting character on ER.
My classic example would be "Karen" and "Jack". Considering the show was called "Will and Grace", the Karen and Jack supporting characters quickly asserted themselves.
There's another one I'm thinking of but can't remember the name of the show or characters. Was in the 1980's. It was about an African American family. It had some kind of street name in the title IIRC (Something "321"?). They seemed to always be on their stoop. The supporting character was Jacquee (I don't know how she spelled it). She overpowered the main characters so much that the "leads" eventually left and they renamed the show to feature Jacquee. Anyone know which show I'm talking about?
Didn't Rob Lowe leave The West Wing because he was supposed to be the main character when it began and he felt other characters were getting more/better storylines after the first season? I think Lowe's decision to leave Brothers & Sisters is also in part because he didn't think his character was going anywhere, although he was never intended to be a main character there...
Another West Wing tidbit - I believe that Martin Sheen was not originally intended to be a major presence on that show, but audience response was big so they increased the role of the President.
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?
A: Competition forums on the board are available to those with a Season Pass or a premium membership How to View Kiss & Cry
That's correct. I'm a diehard West Winger (I have every season on DVD). Originally Sorkin intended to show life behind the scenes of the White House by focusing on the core team that surrounds the president, but not feature the president as a main character. This is evident from the pilot episode where the President comes into the episode in the last 10 minutes of the show. However they quickly realized that they couldn't make it work, and Sheen was agreeable (if not eager) to expand his role. Lowe was originally sold on the idea that his character would play more of a prominent role. He sucked it up and stayed for 4 seasons before moving on.
If you ever listen to the DVD commentary on the Christmas episode from Season 2 (Noel), they tell a story about how a sub-plot heavily featured Lowe's character, but it had to be cut due to time and he was pretty upset by it but took one for the team.
I think Aniston quickly started to outshine Courtney Cox, who, I believe, was the star going into the series. Cox was the ones with the name coming off of Family Ties. They seemed to have worked it out and formed more of an ensemble cast which, IMHO, made the show stronger.
A good rant is cathartic. Ranting is what keeps me sane. They always come from a different place. Take the prime minister, for example. Sometimes when I rant about him, I am angry; other times, I am just severely annoyed - it's an important distinction. - Rick Mercer
A Different World was supposed to be centered around Lisa Bonet's "Denise", who had the love interest (Dwayne Wayne) and everything, but came to be centered around Jasmine Guy's character instead.
Re: Jason Bateman, I STILL think he's to die for!
Did Marla Gibbs actually leave 227?
It does say this in Wiki
So Marla must have not been happy, but I don't think she officially left.By the time production on the fourth season commenced in 1988, tension between stars Gibbs and Jackée were mounting due to the show's increasing focus on the Sandra character. To keep the stars happy, Jackée was given the chance to spin off Sandra into her own show. Jackée's television pilot, entitled Jackée, found Sandra moving to New York City and finding work at a spa. NBC aired the episode in primetime on May 11, 1989. The pilot was rejected, and Jackée returned to 227 appearing only sporadically.
It says that Jackee actually went on the win an Emmy for that role too.
The man has perfect comedic timing, and he's both sexy and approachable. A Greg Kinnear for a smarter audience.
Speaking of Jason in terms of the subject matter, his "Arrested Development" was the perfect show. Everyone upstaged everyone, multiple times within the same 21 minutes of an episode. Bateman, the lead, never faded into the background despite being the ONLY "normal"/button-down character on the show. Incredible accomplishment by Jason and the writers.

Skip Bayless FTW? One-on-One With ESPN's Top Trash Talker
On a recent Wednesday evening, ESPN commentator Skip Bayless sat in a booth in the bar at the Midtown Hilton nursing a Diet Coke and quietly watching two basketball games.
Yes, quietly.
"By nature, I am quiet off the air," he said. "My mom was real loud and that made me speak only when spoken to. But even as a child, if you challenged me, you would get both barrels."
Mr. Bayless, 60, wore a navy-blue sweatshirt, matching cargo sweatpants and white-and-navy Fila sneakers. "You haven't challenged me," he pointed out. "I've agreed with your opinions."
Mr. Bayless and The Observer found a surprising amount of common ground during our interview: The Atlanta Hawks are perennially overrated; the 2002-03 San Antonio Spurs were the best team in the history of that franchise; and LeBron James doesn't deserve the MVP award because his team is too good.
Agreeing with Mr. Bayless is a disorienting experience. Read More

The tragic loss of 23 young lives because of contaminated food in a Bihar school is unacceptable. But it is also a fact that the Mid Day Meal Scheme, under which cooked food is compulsorily provided to children in government schools, is too important and critical to give up on. The only questions that matter are: why does the scheme not work as well as it should and what can be done to fix it?
Our health is not on anybody's agenda. Or, we just don't seem to make the connections between the growing burden of disease and the deteriorating condition of our environment. We don't really believe the science, which tells us each passing day how toxins affect our bodies, leading to high rates of both morbidity and mortality. It is true that it is difficult to establish cause and effect, but we know more than enough to say that air pollution is today a leading cause of both disease and death in India and other parts of South Asia.
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is assessing the impacts of pesticides and Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) on bee health. A task force under coordination of Emerging Risks Unit (ERU) of EFSA submitted its inventory on its activities on bees on October 30, 2012.
In a bid to modernize the food safety system in the country, the Canadian Government has adopted new food safety Act. The new Act named 'The Safe Food for Canadians Act' came into force from November 26, 2012. It will bring all food safety concerns under one umbrella. Earlier food safety in Canada was being regulated under different Acts like Canada Agricultural Products Act, the Fish Inspection Act, the Meat Inspection Act, and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act.
Based on the findings of the environmental, health, safety, local community relations and sustainability issues of major Indian steel plants as studied by CSE's Green Rating Project, Members of Parliament in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha raised questions on the poor performance of sector to the Union Ministers of Environment and Steel respectively.

Pollution in Sonbhadra area is not new and has been talked about for many years but no action has been taken to check the pollution. This has led to long term health impacts which have now started to show up in the population of the region. CSE took up a study to look at these health impacts and to investigate the possible causes.
NOT all trans fats are bad for health. At least not the natural ones found in ghee, butter and cheese. Scientists have found that naturally occurring trans fats in milk and meat products obtained from ruminant animals like cows and buffaloes do not increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases the way industrial trans fats do.

Junk food is junk by its very definition. But how bad is it and what is it that companies do not tell people about this food? This is what the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) laboratory checked. The results were both predictable and alarming. What was equally predictable was the response of big food companies and their spokespersons—denials and dismissals. But they are missing the point.

£2.45m for Abbotsford
10 May 2010
Culture Minister Fiona Hyslop today (Monday) announced funding of £2.45m for the home of Sir Walter Scott, Abbotsford.
The Minister said: "Abbotsford gives us a glimpse into what life was like for Sir Walter Scott, share the beautiful inspiration he enjoyed around him and learn more about a man who is invaluable to our literary heritage.
"Abbotsford's attraction to Scott's admirers' draws people from across the globe to the Scottish Borders, which in turn generates the local economy and tourism. Scott's International reach for Scotland is enormous There are so many reasons to appreciate this incredible home and what it represents to the Borders and Scotland as a whole."
The funding will allow for further repairs to the category A-listed building and provide improved facilities for visitors with a new visitor centre.
Scott's writings played a key role in the international development of Romanticism. Abbotsford House is seminal in being the first Scottish Baronial style house where a conscious effort was made to re-create an authentic Scottish castle and to achieve antiquarian correctness and its influence was of national and international importance.
The funding is made up of £1m from the Scottish Government; £800,000 from Historic Scotland and £650,000 from Scottish Enterprise.
Jim McFarlane, Managing Director of Operations for Scottish Enterprise said: "Abbotsford House is an iconic building within the Scottish Borders. The funding package that's been put together from all the agencies involved reflects the importance of Abbotsford both in terms of its historic importance and also its potential to enhance the region's tourism offering and develop the wider economy."
Sir Walter Scott purchased the farm and farmhouse known as Cartleyhole in 1811. He changed the name to Abbotsford to commemorate the monks of Melrose who had owned the land and used the nearby river crossing.
In 2009 Historic Scotland awarded £500,000 for repairs to the house. These continuing works will provide much scope for training in traditional skills development within the project.
David Parker, Leader of Scottish Borders Council, said: "We are delighted that this funding has been awarded to Abbotsford House. This means that vital repairs can be carried out and that the facilities for visitors can be developed to encourage more people to visit this historic site."

I didn't pay attention to the size description, so they were a little longer that I prefer. The colors are just as the picture shows--really vivid. I love gemstone jewelry and these fit right into my taste and budget. I would definitely recommend them to a friend and I will purchase again in the future
I bought these as a gift for a friend but they are so pretty I think I'll keep them for myself! Very lightweight and the perfect length.
On my earrings the length of the teardrop is 1 inch with the widest part of the teardrop measuring 3/4 inch. These earrings have a variety of colors in them. Only upon close observation does one see that this is caused by the inlay of 6 different stones, the same color and position in each earrings. They are not for newly-pierced ears as there is a small weight to them. I purchased these earrings with the Alpaca Silver Inlaid Stone Turtle Pendant (Mexico). All three are a good match.
Earrings received are not as bright as shown, dissappointed, but will keep.
After waiting several weeks for the earrings to arrive, I was very disappointed when I opened the package. I was expecting vividly colored, handmade earrings, like the description. I honestly thought the earrings looked junky and mass-produced. I would not recommend this product.
I lost one of these and had to order another pair-I like them that much. They are very well made and go with so many things. Buy them.
Very nice earrings and a good value. I will order from this manufacturer again.
These earrings looked cute in the pics. When they arrived we were both (my wife - the recipient, and myself, the purchase) very surprised -- good quality, pricey looking finish. I'd originally considered them as only a stocking stuffer for Christmas when they weren't available here. They were TWICE THE PRICE and more on other websites like Am*zon. They'd make a great upfront/center birthday gift for a friend/colleague as well. Highly recommended.
These earrings seem very weel made. They are very colorful bright and cheerful. I will be able to wear the with almost anything. I am so pleased with them.
I am so thrilled with these earrings!!!!!! My friends and coworkers just went crazy when they saw them. I got my order super fast and I am very pleased with the whole experience. They were packaged incredibly well. I will be buying more jewelry from this artisan!! Oustanding craftmanship!!!

Strong Possibility If Schotty Leaves Martz Is The Favorite
Posted 12 January 2010 - 08:12 PM
Posted 12 January 2010 - 08:42 PM
No thanks, doesn't Mike Martz like to go downfield and not run the ball? How does that fit us?
Exactly. That's why he was let go from San Fran. Singletary wanted a ball control, run oriented offense, not Mike Martz.
Posted 12 January 2010 - 08:55 PM
Fact is, we are a run, run, run, and then run again team. Not Mike Martz. Outside of possibly Leon, none of our running backs pose the same type of receiving threat Marshall Faulk was with Martz in St. Louis. It just wouldn't work. Martz has had complicated routes, and it would be silly to give Sanchez a whole new offense to learn.
If Schotty leaves, promote from within and keep the same offense! Essentially just switch the playcaller.
*Edit* The Bills are also trying to interview Russ Grimm. To jog your memory, he is an assistant for Arizona, who was interviewed before Ken Whisenhunt was hired. IMO, Grimm takes the Buffalo job.
Posted 12 January 2010 - 10:37 PM
I hope for all heck we don't get Martz. Unless he for some reason commits to basing the game against the run. We don't have anythign close to his receivers. Besides, as much as I make fun of the Colts being arena league to my buddy who is a Colts fan, he'd kill me over Martz.
Exterminate all rational thought, that is the conclusion I have come to
Posted 12 January 2010 - 10:40 PM
Faulk was just a machine that Martz used to run out the clock. He would have only a very few carries going into the fourth quarter, but if they were up he would come in and get his stats. When vermeil was there he made Faulk the focus, but once Martz took over it was all passing.
I hope for all heck we don't get Martz. Unless he for some reason commits to basing the game against the run. We don't have anythign close to his receivers. Besides, as much as I make fun of the Colts being arena league to my buddy who is a Colts fan, he'd kill me over Martz.

I sure as hell don't want Mike Martz. He plays favorites with the QBs on the roster, he's a bully, and he'll screw up Sanchez's mechanics if Mark is not "his style" of a QB.
No doubt there would be a clash of personalities between him and Rex at some point too as both guys are pretty confident in themselves - justifiably so in Ryan's case. Everywhere he has gone he has installed a pass-happy offense, which is a complete reserve-face of the ethos of this team and arguably would stunt Sanchez' growth.
[quote name='S-Dubb' date='13 January 2010 - 09:32 AM' timestamp='1263375164' post='292648']
This is the same O.C that forgot about Frank Gore in S.F. The same guy who neglects TE in the passing game. Martz wants a free ride with a great defense. Lets be honest guys, any O.C can survive here with our defense. Who'd have to be pretty bad.
The RBs on the roster and Dustin Keller - even though he was very quiet at times this year - are the keys to this offense. Cotchery and Edwards are good receivers, but behind them there isn't anybody who has proven themselves reliable enough to be targetted in the passing game that Martz would want. Brad Smith has proven productive, but more so when running the ball out of the wildcat and on the odd reverse. Bruce and Holt were the two main guys in St. Louis with him, but the likes of Az Zahir Hakim, Ricky Proehl, Kevin Curtis and Dane Looker all caught plenty of balls in that offense too, not to mention the contribution Faulk made. The personnel we have is geared towards a run-orientated offense so Martz would be a bad choice.
Posted 13 January 2010 - 10:36 AM
We're a great running team because we have one of the worst receivers group in the league. Without upgrading in that area, a OC like Martz would be a waste. My bet is Callahan gets promoted to OC.
We are a great running team because our O-Line. Hell, we could be even better if Thomas Jones could hit the hole, not the backside of our offensive line!
Not trying to attack you...
