Winnall Community Centre celebrates 50th birthday
12:00pm Saturday 22nd February 2014 in Winchester By Andrew Napier
WINNALL Community Centre is keen to hear people's memories as part of its 50th birthday celebrations.
The centre on Garbett Road is asking people with memories or photos of the Centre to send or email them in.
Andrea Arengo-Jones, of the committee, is asking if people remember how they helped raise the money to build the centre?
She asks: "Was anyone in the boxing club? Did you have your school lessons in the hall? School discos, weddings, parties or talks. Any happy incidents that took place like your first kiss? We would love them all."
Email them to firstname.lastname@example.com or send to Winnall Community Centre, Garbett Road, Winnall, Winchester, SO23 0NY.
A memory book has also been created.

CATEGORIES Music & Musicals, CinematicalWe've known about dueling Marvin Gaye biopics for two years now, but apparently there's a third. Variety reports of a film to be directed by F. Gary Gray (The Italian Job) and scripted by C. Gaby Mitchell (Blood Diamond) simply titled Marvin. It's possible, though, that this is the same film previously reported as D. Stevens' Marvin: The Life Story of Marvin Gaye, which was being written by Greg Guss and Robert Scharrer. The IMDb certainly thinks so.
Regardless of Gray's film's origins, his project still has a competitor in Sexual Healing, which will star Law & Order's Jesse L. Martin as Gaye and will co-star and be produced by James Gandolfini. There will be a difference between the two, at least. Sexual Healing only has access to Gaye's post-Motown music, so it will be focused on the singer's later years. Marvin, on the other hand, has finally secured the rights to Gaye's entire music catalog and will cover the man's life from beginning to end, when he was shot by his father in 1984.
Marvin currently has no star or studio, but producers David Foster (The Core) and Duncan McGillivray (formerly of historically film-friendly Bank of America) will be shopping the project to studios and financiers next week. With Sexual Healing still not in production (last we heard, it was to begin shooting in April), Marvin may still have a shot of beating it to theaters. And with Gray at the helm, with his music video background (TLC's "Waterfalls"), it seems to be in better hands.

Youths arrested after Blackburn town centre scrap
9:00pm Sunday 16th December 2012 in News By Vanessa Cornall, Crime reporter
POLICE were called to deal with a large disturbance involving 20 teenagers in a town centre.
Witnesses alerted police after seeing two boys and two girls, aged between 15 and 16 years old, being assaulted in the Jubilee Street area of Blackburn.
The teenagers all suffered minor bruising, with one 16-year-old boy being taken to the Royal Blackburn Hospital after a cut to his ear failed to stop bleeding.
Officers said they were alerted to the incident around 7pm yesterday.
When they arrived the two groups ran off in different directions but officers managed to round up the youths.
Inspector Des Barr, who is leading the investigation, said: "Large groups of youths will not be allowed to congregate in the town centre disrupting and disrupting members of the public from going about their daily business.
"An investigation has now been launched into the incident and offers will be analysing CCTV footage. I urge anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward and help us to piece together what happened."
A 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl, from Blackburn, were arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly but were released without charge yesterday morning.
A 17-year-old boy from Burnley was last night still being questioned by police after he was arrested on suspicion of common assault.
Anyone with information should call police on 101.

Northeastern initially thought they'd start their superintendent search process Dec. 3, but now the date is yet to be determined.
The district has a regular meeting Monday, but it won't include a discussion with the solicitor, as previously thought by the board president, about the timeline for the eventual replacement of Superintendent Jody Nace, whose contract was not renewed.
A Dec. 3 date was indicated in Thursday's York Dispatch based on previously supplied information.
When they do eventually meet to discuss it, the board will figure out if it wants to get an outside agency, such as the Pennsylvania School Boards Association, to help with the search, a common practice, according to board president Margie Walker.
A timeline will be established, too, she said. It's not yet been determined if the meeting will be public, since it involves personnel discussion.
Northeastern is seeking to replace Jody Nace, who is finishing the third year of a three-year contract she signed in 2010.
Nace, who previously served as assistant superintendent, was informed at a recent board meeting that board members do not intend to renew her contract.
Nace was not given a reason, but both she and Walker said the board is not obligated to give one, and that there is no investigation for wrongdoing.
Nace responded soon after with an email to Northeastern parents, thanking them for their support. Some community members said they didn't know the board would be voting on her fate until after the fact, she wrote, as she encouraged them to regularly attend board meetings so they are always aware of what's going on at Northeastern.
Nace has said she was "very surprised" about the board's decision, but that she has nothing but love for Northeastern.
"I will continue to serve the Northeastern School District for the remainder of this school year as I have for the last 10 years; that is, as a professional who serves with our students' interests at the forefront," Nace wrote. "I want you to know that your support has meant the world to me."

FORT WORTH -- Back at Colonial Country Club for the first time since last year's tournament, two-time Crown Plaza Invitational champion Zach Johnson actually forgot what he forgot.
"I had to go outside and do a couple pictures," he said. "I looked at the 18th green, and went, 'Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot about that.'"
Last year, Johnson forgot to correctly replace his golf ball before hitting his final putt. It cost him two strokes, but he still won the event by one shot, and took with him a valuable lesson.
"What I learned there was I got a little emotional and I got ahead of myself, and totally had a mental lapse," Johnson said.
That was about the only lapse that week. Johnson then showed off his precise iron play and tidy short game which has made him a Tour mainstay and a major champion.
Johnson has had a 15-year career on the PGA Tour and is a nine-time tour winner, earning more than $27 million.
He's also etched his name twice on Colonial's Wall of Champions, joining other multiple winners like Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, and Phil Mickelson.
Johnson admits he wasn't the best golfer on his high school or college team, and credits his support system for the responsibility he feels to maximize his God-given ability. He said his secret to success really isn't one.
"Hard work," he said, "I grew up in a hard-work, blue-collar sort of area in Iowa and that's just what I know how to do. That and always trying to get better. I'm never satisfied with being where I'm at. I'm not content with it, and I want to keep trying to work."
No wonder he's thrived in Hogan's shadow, where the golf course demands an old-school mentality.
"You just get a real fond appreciation the way the game's evolved and the way the game used to be played; the way these courses are laid out," Johnson said. "The old cliché -- they don't make 'em like they used to. And this is one of 'em."

The serious brain injury suffered one week ago by Tipton, MO, high school junior Chad Stover and the death of Spring Hill, KS, student Nathan Stiles three years ago are raising questions about the level of protection available for the most vulnerable athletes in a sport that many in both states follow like a religion.
As a senior at Spring Hill High, 17-year-old Nathan Stiles was a two-way starter in football and a team captain.
Sports had always played a major role in his young life - from learning to hit and throw baseballs as a toddler to running middle school track and playing high school hoops.
On Oct. 28, 2010, during the last game of his high school football career, Stiles ran 65 yards to score a touchdown. In a matter of minutes, triumph turned to tragedy.
According to Stiles' mom, Connie Stiles, "I said something's wrong, I know him so well. He's walking funny."
Moments after scoring, Nathan Stiles grasped his helmet and began screaming that his head hurt. His collapse near the team bench sent parents Connie and Ron Stiles rushing to his side.
"He just raised his hand briefly, and that was it," Connie Stiles recalled.
"You're praying he'd come to," Ron Stiles said.
"It didn't happen," Connie Stiles added.
Nathan Stiles was airlifted to the University of Kansas Medical Center. Just four days shy of his 18th birthday, the young athlete passed away.
"His body took the ride with Life Flight, but I don't think Nathan was there. I think we really lost him on the football field," Ron Stiles said.
An autopsy revealed a brain hemorrhage, which doctors' say was caused by a concussion suffered at a game nearly one month earlier.
Further examination revealed Nathan Stiles had something called chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE; a degenerative brain disease that's been found almost exclusively in boxers and retired professional football players.
"He's been the youngest one, I believe still, that they discovered that (CTE) in," Connie Stiles said.
Nathan Stiles' death has sparked a debate about the steps being taken to protect the more than 61,000 high school students playing football in Kansas and Missouri, of which an estimated 11 percent will suffer a concussion each season.
And according to Doug Abrams, law professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia and an expert on concussions in youth sports, last year's nationwide number of 300,000 high school concussions is low.
"It's certainly under reported, Many kids do not report concussive symptoms because they are afraid their parents will pull them out of the sport, or the coach will bench them, or they'll lose their place in the starting lineup, or their teammates will think less of them, so that 300,000 number is a conservative number and it's entirely too high. We have to do better," Abrams said. "Kids deserve better from their games than brain injuries. That's not what they're playing for."
While the National Football League and the National Collegiate Athletic Association have adopted new rules to make the game less violent, Abrams says high schools need to go further.
"The rules for the kids have to be a little bit different that the rules for adults," Abrams said.
For example, Abrams advocates the elimination of a position known as the three-point-stance, which allows a defensive lineman to launch himself at the offense. And he wants to see a ban of full contact practices during the football season.
While these drastic changes to the game are unlikely, Kansas and Missouri have made some strides to cut back on tackling during the preseason.
In Kansas, high school players aren't allowed to put on their full pads and start hitting until the fourth practice. Missouri teams must wait until the sixth practice.
As associate executive director of the Missouri State High School Activities Association, Harvey Richards explained, "We're slowly working the students back into full activity instead of them just jumping out there right away; going to two-a-days, hitting each other and everything else, We have a five-day window where you're limited to the hours of practice: three. You're limited to the amount of equipment you can wear. It takes six days before you can even put on full pads." Richards said.
Regardless of the rules, concussions can never be entirely eliminated from the game of football. But because the brains of high school players are still developing, Abrams says the risk of serious injury for these kids is much greater.
"It's not just a question of getting your bell rung and shaking it off and going back in," Abrams said. "You're talking about long-term and short-term disability, and sometimes death,"
Abrams points out high school football programs are less likely to include a crucial member of the team; an athletic trainer on the sideline providing the kind of basic medical care that's become standard in the NFL and NCAA.
Dr. Randall Goldstein, a neurologist who works with the Center for Sports Medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center, also sees the need for more athletic trainers, the knowledge these experts have in diagnosing and treating a concussion far exceeds that of the average coach or parent.
"It's not as easy to tell all the time as a broken bone," Goldstein said. "Everyone's brain is different. Everyone's brain heals at a different time."
According to the 2011 Interscholastic Youth Sports Brain Injury Prevention Report, 60 percent of the Missouri schools surveyed do not have a certified athletic trainer. Of those who do have a trainer, only six percent have the personnel present during practice where the majority of concussions occur.
Understanding that trainers are in short supply and too expensive for many districts to hire, MSHSAA has asked that each high school program make an emergency action plan (EAP) to deal with serious injuries.
"They have to have something in place," Richards said. "And one of those protocols has to be for head injury. So if a head injury occurs, 'What do you do?' And they have to have that in place."
But the state report reveals that of the Missouri districts surveyed in 2011, 41 percent operate without a policy for handling head injuries and getting players safely back on the field.
"We have to stop looking at youth sports and thinking these kids are just miniature professionals," Abrams said. "Because they are not, they are kids."
Missouri is working to better educate coaches and parents on the dangers of concussions with an annual brain injury report survey. It's the only one of its kind in the country. Currently, Kansas does not track any concussion information.
Three years after Nathan's death, Ron and Connie Stiles are still coping with the loss of a beloved son. No matter how many rules change in the game football, Connie Stiles is not convinced her boy could have been saved.
"In life, accidents happen. You can make all the rules you want. Accidents are still going to happen," she said.
"Does it get easier at any point?" asked KCTV5 investigative reporter Stacey Cameron.
"No. No," Connie Stiles replied. "It's kind of like somebody that loses a leg; they still feel the pain. You always feel the pain."
To honor their son's strong belief in God, Ron and Connie Stiles have established a foundation in their son's name. The Nathan Project raises money to buy Bibles to give to those in need. So far, more than 8,000 Bibles have been handed out, with more than 2,400 delivered to correctional facilities in Kansas.

BEAR, Del. (AP) - Delaware State Police troopers are investigating a robbery that happened in the parking lot of a motel in Bear.
Troopers say a motel employee was robbed Sunday at around 9 a.m. in the parking lot of the Afton Motel.
Troopers say the 43-year-old employee was sitting in the driver's seat of his parked car with the driver's side door open when he was approached by two men who demanded money. The two men took a motel deposit bag from the front seat of the car.
Troopers did not say how much money was taken. The employee was not injured.
Troopers say one of the robbers was last seen wearing a dark jacket, dark wool hat and blue pants. The other man was last seen wearing a dark jacket and tan pants.

I am somewhat perplexed about the time and money being spent on a particular piece of real estate in the Santa Clarita Valley.

On tap at Old Chicago. The beer pours a dark hue of pink and ruby-red - very nice looking. The head is nearly non-existent and fades quickly. The beer smells just like it looks - refreshing and full of fruit: berries and figs with malt in the background. I didn't much care for the taste of this beer. Upon sipping, the fruit profile is powerful, with a little TOO much berry for my liking. Almost tastes like carbonated juice with a hint of beer. By no means is it "bad", but it would be a challenge to drink more than one of these for me. Very sweet and even a little bit tangy, this brew is more almost more along the lines of a weird juice than a beer (aside from the 8% ABV which goes primarily unnoticed). The taste is less authentic than a "sour" and when I drink a "fruit beer", I want a heavier beer taste, with maybe hints of fruit. This beer is kind of stuck in a strange limbo. Medium-bodied beer that leaves a sweet-stickiness on your teeth as it heads down your gullet.
I tried, but couldn't get into this beer like many of my friends. It's tasty, but when I want a beer, it's not exactly what I'm looking for. Not "beer" enough to be a good fruit beer, and not authentic or sour enough to be a lambic. The 9% ABV is covered up very well, as almost no alcohol is detectable, but I will probably pass on this brew next time.

12oz. bottle poured into a Bells tulip glass. A thanks to Tony for this bottles.
It pours a really nice hazy pinkish hue. There is no denying that this beer has a lot of berries in it. A generous yellow/straw head dies down to a nice cap that lingers for a good amount of time. A medium to high amount of lacing sticks to the sides of the glass. So far it hits every note on what a beautiful fruit heavy beer should be. Unfortunately it goes downhill from there.
The nose is very reminiscent of a completely average raspberry wheat beer. I looked and i don't think this beer is brewed with wheat, rather with rye but the similarities to a fruit wheat beer are very evident to me. The fruit smell itself is ok, it's kind of bland and not very assertive with a kind of slick or oily smell some wheat beers get
The flavor is much the same of the smell. I think the problem with the fruit is there are too many flavors in there and it turns into one big muddled mess. The raspberry stands out to me but even then it isn't a very well done fruit flavor. There isn't too much offensive about it but nothing too impressive either. I can see how Short's is gearing this as an alternative to the female wine drinker.
The mouthfeel is pretty slick. There is also a pretty high level of carbonation. The one really nice thing is there is no sign of the ABV at all and it drinks quite well. Even though I particularly didn't enjoy the taste I has no apprehension finishing the bottle.

Received this beer from mjd83goblue in the Local Goods II BIF. I got about 9 Short's Brewery Beers and this is the 3rd one I've tried. I was pretty excited to try this beer -- the description on the bottle sounded very interesting.
A - cracked open the cap and this baby was very carbonated. It didn't gush out, but you could see the carbonation bubbles aggresively climbing to the top, and for about a minute or 2, frothy head, slowly flowed from the bottle. Appearence was great though -- a deep red color with a mountain of white head, lined throughout with a pinkish hugh.
S - I was very impressed with the smell. You could almost get a hint of each individual berry, yet somehow they all melded together with one sniff. Strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry -- all present.
T - this is where it went downhill for me. The raspberries stood out above the others, by far. It was a little too mediciney for my taste.
M - the high carbonation definitely showed its face. I don't know if the bottle was just shaken up a bit too much, but it was over-carbonated.
D - overall, I give the drinkability a below average rating due to the medicine-like taste and the high carbonation, with emphasis on the medicine.
From the 3 or 4 beers I have had from Short's, they seem like an amazing brewery and very innovative. This beer, however, was my least favorite, to date, from Short's.

Pours a cloudy reddish color with a finger of head.
Raspberries dominate the smell, not really getting the strawberries and blackberries coming thorough.
Smell is nice, no real sweetness here. Upfront is some tartness from the fruit, again especially the raspberries, followed by rye and hops.
Pretty light mouthfeel overall.
Nice on a hot summer day, though the abv creeps in a bit after awhile.

a: pinking red. white head, average lacing.
s: smells like strawberry jam. sweet smell
t: very berry. strawberry, blueberry, raspberry. wine like tannins/acidity/alcohol. no hop flavor but is balanced with rye
m: bubbbly, too much so.
o: i never expect much from fruit beers, but this exceeded my low expectations. would be a good summer beer, however, i could not see myself having more than 1 in a sitting.

Had on tap at the Sunset
Appearance: hazy with sediment, 1/4 inch head, brownish red in color, high carbonation
Smell: berries: strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries
Taste: follows the nose with some honey and bubble gum flavor
Mouthfeel: very sweet, light bodied, high carbonation
Drinkability: Not a bad beer, but I was hoping for more from Shorts. The advertised rye really does not show up. Super sweet in the lines of Leinie's berry weiss. Be careful the alcohol is well hidden. My least favorite from Short's so far.

This Is my very first sweet and fruity beer. I usually drink an IPA or high IBUs
But I actually loved this beer
A- average defiantly has a tiny of red in the color
S- amazing aroma, fruity and floral
T- you can diffidently taste the many berries! This beer may not be for everyone but I sure love it.
M- goes down nice and easy with medium carbonation with a lovely aftertaste.
O- a great beer. Having something different is always fun and I never thought I would like a sweet or fruity beer but then I tried this one. And I definitely fell for it!

My brother picked this up for me on a recent trip up to Michigan. My second time trying this beer.
Appearance- Pours a well carbonated ruby with about a finger and a half of fizzy pink head over the body. Lots of beading on the sides of the glass but head retention is poor and dies back to a ring around the edges rather quickly.
Smell- A mixed berry bouquet. Primarily, I pick up first on blueberry. Following this, the most dominant fruit is raspberry. Both are quite fresh smelling and there is a hint of spice in the background.
Taste- Again, most dominant taste is of fresh blueberries, with raspberry, and some seed showing through as well. Interesting background spices show through just a bit as well, and I suspect this is influence of rye.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability- Mouthfeel is a bit disappointingly thin but carbonation is good. Alcohol does show through however, reducing drinkability a bit.
Overall, a very good take on fruit beer. Not my favorite style but a solid and interesting offering by Shorts.

A - Poured into a tulip, has a dark pink coloring with an *adorable* pink head of about a finger's height. Minimal retention and lacing.
S - Smells sour, like a wild ale. Or vinegar. I can't decide.
T - Tastes like what's advertised. Beer mixed with fruit slurry. Some strawberry and blueberry. Unpleasant sort of sour finish. Which, under normal circumstances, wouldn't be too bad, but it doesn't strike me as something that was done on purpose.
M - Mellow carb, dry finish.
O - Not really my thing, but I can see why it's such a hit with the ladies. It's a cheerleader beer that's actually *half* beer and not just malt beverage. It is what it is.

Undated 12 oz bottle continuously refrigerated since before August 2013 purchase. Served in a snifter.
Pours clear, dark rose, looking nearly red in the glass. Small weak head.
Aroma: complex and fruity, with notes of strawberry, raspberry and blackberry.
Flavor: less enticing, with a bitter-sweet nature that seems more in conflict than in balance, with more bitterness and less tartness than ideal. Eventually, there is a nice, lingering, fruity aftertaste.
Feel: light body with somewhat high carbonation.
O: about what one might expewhat one might expect for a beer created as a wine substitute. Treat as a dessert beer.

Another delicious MI brew courtesy of hoppymeal.
Very fizzy soda pour! Looks like blood orange juice. Smells of ripe raspberries. Man does this smell good!
Tastes like tart berry pie with a fizzy burn. Blueberry syrup is more prominent on the tongue up front with those raspberries in the finish. Tastes sort of like a gassy euro drink.
I admire the craft behind this, and I'm a lover in tart fruit beers, but this may be too much.

I believe this fruity beer could be enjoyed even by those who typically do not prefer fruity beers. It has a dark pomegranate red color and very thin head. This beer isn't cloudy or hazy but a very dark red clear pour that looks as appetizing as it smells.
You will immediately detect the strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry aromas that define this beers taste. The mild berry tartness of this beer mixes quite well it's light malty flavors leaving a very pleasant, slightly sweet, aftertaste. I've enjoyed this beer on tap as well as bottled; I would recommend people try it on tap first as the bottled version is slightly less carbonated, which I feel detracts from it's overall flavor.
Overall a delightful fruity beer even if you are not typically a fan of fruity beverages.

Missing girl found safe and well
5:48pm Sunday 11th November 2012 in News
A 14-year-old girl who went missing from her East Yorkshire home and was believed to be in the York area has been found safe and well.
Police located Abigail Tuck, of Burton Gates, High Catton near Stamford Bridge, in the Humberside area. She had been missing for a week after she and a friend told relatives they were catching a bus to Haxby.
But two men each missing in North Yorkshire for more than a week have yet to be found.
Police are continuing to look for Ian Robinson, 47, of Newborough Street, York, who was last seen near his home on October 30, and Harrogate pensioner Graham Roskell, 65, who was last seen leaving Harrogate District Hospital, where he was receiving treatment for a brain condition, on November 3.

No, not even for basic extra work. I've submitted a lot. I even know someone who had lines on one of the soaps who mentioned me to one of the CDs a few times and they remembered me...but nothing yet. I think B and B probably not gonna get called in for speaking parts, but the other 2, a slight chance. I did hear one might call me in when the scene/character is right for me. But then again, I just keep sending postcards. GH and Y and R were really good workshops and they liked me, B and B it was just a mess with the online script...I recently just started a cold reading/booking class, and most of the stuff in the script you don't need to even show it unless it's mentioned in the dialogue. Christy wants to see that though...think of her audition as a theatre class where you must show everything.

I think feeling 100% prepared is rare. Just do it!

Ive tried getting in the spirit of workshops but I honestly feel like it turns casting directors into spoiled liars. They say that they cast costars directly out of workshops but that is a lie. Think about all the workshops they do within a week! Theres no way they are going to put in the effort to go throw stacks of headshots to find that actor for this specific part. Success comes down to timing. I cant say I see many casting directors as "friends to actors" they are more like hurdles. These workshop truly should be illegal so that agents can do their jobs and actually pitch new and up in coming clients. So many agents have let themselves be reduced to order takers and now actors are expected to pick up the slack ontop of the cost of acting classes, headshots,real networking, etc.Ive only taken a few. Christy ciroalo from Bones (or however you spell her name) claims to book right out of workshops which I told you how I feel about that.I did appreciate her honesty that she chucks all those postcards in the trash so dont even bother. I took scott david a while ago and though hes fun and easy to work with, dont think for a second that hes not in this for the money 110%. Hes the king of workshop casting directors. He even has some app that he pressganged two actors into making for him for free. This guy loves what he does and he loves making money off of actors.My advice is only go to workshops if you have major credits on your resume. And yes ditch casting assistant workshops and if a company advertises a head casting director and you get an assistant raise hell until you get your money back. Yes assistants in this industry are crucial but they are in their own rat race half the time and wont pitch people. They do it for the money.
Laugh when people try to take you as a fool.

I'd like to attend workshops/network meetings where not just 'anybody' with money can join, but actually talented people and with CD's that knows this and actually goes to find new talent. Are there any companies that audition their attendees?

@totallycool Well said!!!
|Denzel Washington
Yep, what totallycool said. I tried the workshop thing, too, and you can see right through it.
There's no way a CD will go through "workshop files" to find a co-star, all they have to do is snap a finger and the agents will scramble to find an actor that fits.
|Jack Nicholson
An actor I know auditioned for a bigger casting workshop place and I don't think he has ever been called in and still pours a lot of money into it.
|Al Pacino
|Kevin Bacon
I've only done a handful of workshops. Christy did call me in for the B&B a few days after the workshop which was nice.
I've done Scott Davids as well. He says he keeps a folder of workshop actors he sees that week and pulls from there for his co-stars.
Jaime Harlan does the same thing. She said it's just faster for her to pull from her folder for co-star roles because they are fresh in her mind and she doesn't have to deal with agent and manager pitches.
I really don't like doing workshops but I understand how they can be helpful.
|Morgan Freeman
See if she looks through files inorder to escape agents then that must mean that her relationships with representatives will suffer. I doubt shes turning down phone calls from gersh. If casting directors were that lazy and extreme in a few years this industry would be anybody's game. Well anybody who can pay thousands for the promise of employment. Which worshops evade this by saying they are schools. I'd feel really sorry for anyone who actually went infront of a casting director to learn how to do anything! Career Suicide. The best you can hope for is to learn more about that specific office but I'd rather just read an interview at that rate. Some knowledge for the sake of knowledge is cheap. Workshops are terrible investments 9/10 because 9/10 it results in nothing. Instead 9/10 times you have actors piling on tremendous amounts of debt in n hopes to get discovered and deluding themselves into believing that once these casting directors leave that they are actually accessable! They have these abstract accomplishments like being happy someone remembered their face. A long memory means nothing if the result doesn't include a job opportunity. I wish actors would wake up come together and shut these workshops down!I know theres a lawfirm looking to seek their prosecutor fangs into something juicy.
Laugh when people try to take you as a fool.
|Hilary Swank
What does this mean? Does it mean you are supposed to use props? Or let her know ahead of the time what objects you are using to substitute for other objects in the scene if you don't have them?
When I hear "setting the scene" I think about arranging the couch, bringing up a purse or food or other objects... Is this what you mean?
I just use my cell phone and sides. I once did a scene with Christy where it said in the sides that I had a DVD in the scene. I didn't bring a dvd and just used the sides as the DVD. She didn't give me any shit for doing that.
|Hilary Swank
Thanks for the clarification Truthteller.
|Kevin Bacon
Yeah, it was something I skipped over because it was last minute, but the other two actors completely didn't do it either. Then when she reminded the class we all didn't set the scene or show props, everyone else did that. The reason I didn't was because I was still trying to remember my lines. There were 6-7 pages and then she gave me another 6-7 and I didn't get to focus on the action at all.
If it says something like
Just start the scene as if you're typing at a desk. Me, I just wet right in and started with my top emotion but didn't set the scene.
If it says something such as "He polishes a diamond ring"...show it! Don't skip that, plus, it's in the script, and at my cold reading class I'm taking now, if it's in the script and part of the action that's in the scene being talked about...DO IT!
|Morgan Freeman
And we all know its impossible to act without props.
I think this may be an example of when people with no real training confuse a workshop with an acting class. It seems to lead to a lot of confusion about the "right" thing to do when reading a scene. Especially in an audition.
If I were ever cold reading with someone for a job and they handed me a prop in the middle of the scene I'd probably want to beat them to death with it.
CDs are no more teachers than they are film directors and should not be given the latitude to do either.
If an actor gets "in the room" it should be taken as a given that they are a trained professional and will know how to handle the furniture, props, etc once cast, yes?
If they are trying to show what a great "actor" they are in the audition, they have already lost the role.
Perhaps, this habit is symptomatic of people who don't have much experience and are used to constantly trying to prove their "worth" as an actor rather than serving the script, story, scene, character, etc. Just a thought.

FED BIZ, SMITH TAKE GRADE II SAN FERNANDO GATE TO WIRE, GRADE I BIG 'CAP ON MARCH 2nd COULD BE NEXT
ARCADIA, Calif. (Jan. 12, 2013)—Considered by many to be Bob Baffert's top 3-year-old a year ago, Fed Biz made amends for a disappointing run in the opening day Malibu with an impressive gate to wire win in Saturday's Grade II San Fernando Stakes, winning by a head under Mike Smith and getting the 1 1/16 in 1:42.34. The win was Baffert's record fifth in the prestigious middle leg of Santa Anita's Strub series for newly turned four year olds.
"I expect so much from this horse, when he loses, it's very disappointing," said Baffert. "He's a very talented horse and he was good today going to the gate and he ran well. In the Malibu, he went to the gate and he tried to sit down in there…so it was a tough go."
Sent from the gate by Smith, who broke from post position eight in a nine-horse field, set fractions of 23.59, 47.28, 1:11.41 and 1:36.08, while being closely pursued by both Tritap, with Corey Nakatani, and Handsome Mike with Mario Gutierrez.
"I really liked him when I breezed him before the race on opening day and for some reason he got really hot," said Smith. "I hadn't taken two steps inside the gate and he was over, (and he) threw me out the back, and he just wasn't right after that."
When asked about the San Fernando stretch duel with Tritap, Smith acknowledged that Fed Biz is maturing in all aspects of his game.
"Early on, he used to be a little stubborn about switching to his right (lead). Once I got him over there, he's game, he wouldn't let somebody by him unless they surprised him."
As for what might be next for the 4-year-old son of Giant's Causeway, Baffert indicated that the Grade II Strub Stakes on Feb. 2 could be a bit too soon, making the March 2, Grade I Santa Anita Handicap a more likely destination.
"I ran him back too quick after we beat Jimmy Creed (in the El Cajon Stakes, Aug. 31) at Del Mar," said Baffert. "I don't want to do that again."
Fed Biz, who was the morning line favorite at 7-2, was a post time overlay of 9-2, and paid $11.20, $6.20 and $4.40.
With the winner's share of $90,000, Fed Biz, who is owned by Kaleem Shah, Inc., increased his bankroll to $274,456, from an overall mark of 8-4-0-1.
Tritap, who broke from the far outside under Nakatani, showed good speed while hung four-wide into the Club House turn, engaged the winner around the far turn and battled head and head with him to the wire and finished a half-length clear of Guilt Force and Joe Talamo.
Tritap, trained by Steve Asmussen and off at 9-1, paid $9.80 and $6.40.
Guilt Trip, one of three Baffert trainees, came with a big run from off the pace and finished 2 ¾ lengths in front of Battle Force and Garrett Gomez.
"Looking back, I wish I had just circled the field," said Talamo. "I think if I'd have gone five-wide, I don't know if he'd have won, but he came flying. He's a nice horse."
Guilt Trip, off at 7-1, paid $5.60 to show.
Baffert's third runner, Mile High Magic, was off as the 4-1 favorite and was eased under Martin Garcia after breaking in the air and slowly.
With 28-1 shot Chasing the Heat taking the ninth and final race on Saturday, there is a two-day Pick Six carryover into Sunday of $231,345. The Pick Six will cover races four through nine and it is expected the total pool could reach $1million by fourth race post time.
The Grade II, $150,000 San Gabriel Stakes for older horses at 1 1/8 miles on turf, is Sunday's main event on the nine-race program. First post time is 12:30 p.m.

Island Gazette's Animal of the Week for the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 06 March 2013 20:21
- Written by Super User
An Atlantic bottlenose dolphin.
Bottlenose Dolphin - Visitors to local beaches frequently spot bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). In fact, Atlantic bottlenose dolphins may be seen anywhere along the North Carolina coast--just off the beach beyond the breakers, in the marshes or on a short boat ride. Of the approximately 36 different kinds of whales found in the North Atlantic Ocean, only bottlenose dolphins live in near shore waters.
Like humans, dolphins are highly social animals and live in groups or pairs. Some dolphins live near Kure Beach and Wilmington year-round. In fall, the local population increases as groups form to follow migratory fishes, like spot and croaker. Fish and marine mammals – like dolphins – migrate in response to changing water temperatures. Learn more about bottlenose dolphin at the NEW Dolphin Discovery exhibit at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.

World Book Night coming up Tuesday
PLATTSBURGH — On Tuesday, April 23, the staff, board and friends of the Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System will give out free books for World Book Night.
World Book Night U.S. is an ambitious campaign to give thousands of free, specially printed paperbacks to light or non-readers across America on one day.

The mission of World Book Night is to seek out those without the means or access to printed books.
During the day, system staff and friends will give away books at the Champlain Centre mall in Plattsburgh.
The books were chosen by an independent panel of booksellers and librarians through several rounds of voting. The printing of the free books was possible due to generosity of the authors, publishers and book-manufacturing companies.

Caught "The Swell Season" - the doc on "Once" stars Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova - at Tribeca last night... Ith almost feels like a sequel to "Once" - had the two main characters ended up getting together and forming a band (which is not entirely implausible).

A corrections officer at the Thurston County Jail needed stitches to close a head wound he suffered early Wednesday morning after an inmate struck him in the head with a metal coffee cup, a sheriff's detective said.
The inmate, Mark Thomas, 23, was in jail awaiting the disposition of a first-degree assault charge after he allegedly struck a Tumwater police officer in the head with a hammer in September. The officer was struck while he was responding to a call about a runaway at an apartment in the 300 block of T Street SW.
The Tumwater officer, later identified as Austin Cady, suffered "two significant lacerations" to his head and was hospitalized after his injuries, Tumwater Police Detective Jen Kolb said in September. Kolb confirmed Wednesday that Cady has not yet returned to duty.
The incident involving the corrections officer's assault at the jail Wednesday morning started just after midnight, when the officer was attempting to move one of Thomas' cellmates, Thurston County Sheriff's detective Cameron Simper said.
The cellmate was involved in a verbal altercation, and the corrections officer was moving him when Thomas suddenly attacked the corrections officer, Simper said.
Thomas was re-arrested on suspicion of a third-degree assault charge after the alleged assault, Simper said. Simper said the male corrections deputy was taken to an area hospital where he received stitches to close a gash to his head, but he is not expected to miss any work because of the injury.
Thomas has a long criminal history that includes felony convictions for assault and for violating a no-contact order. Thomas was being held at the Thurston County Jail Wednesday with his bail set at $100,000.Jeremy Pawloski: 360-754-5445 firstname.lastname@example.com

341ml bottle. This seems to be a different offering from their previous seasonal ginger ale release, different ABV, and with wheat in the mash bill. The name does just seem to roll off the tongue now, doesn't it?
This beer pours a clear, glassy medium golden amber colour, with one skinny finger of bubbly, quite thinly foamy dirty white head, which leaves a few microdots of speckled lace around the glass as it quickly dissolves.
It smells of powdered ginger - equal parts spice and musty earth - a cookie dough breadiness, an indistinct juicy citrus fruitiness, and some further tame leafy, earthy hoppiness. The taste is more muted spicy ginger, the pithy earthiness pushing back hard, with some orange and mushy apple fruitiness doing well to rescue this in the early stages, before a gingerbread-like biscuity caramel malt comes through on the back end.
The bubbles are present and fairly engaging, but just to the edge of initial pleasantries, the body medium-light in weight, and mostly smooth, in a weirdly bland sort of manner. It finishes off-dry, the sushi-side ginger and sour citrus combining with the grainy caramel malt to provide a gentle sweetness.
An agreeable enough ginger beer, one where the titular spice/root is not entirely left to its own devices, but rather, is part of more complex offering, producing something akin to a lightly weakened summer version of a winter spiced ale.

341 mL bottle from a Granville Island/Creemore Springs mixed sampler picked up at the LCBO; bottled in April of this year. Ingredients: Beer, Ginger. Hmm. I guess I didn't really expect much else to be in there. Served well-chilled.
Pours a turbid orange-amber colour, topped with one finger of short-lived, pearl-white head. Within a minute's time, only a thin film and collar remain behind, with some scant lacing. The aroma is sweet and spicy; candied ginger root definitely comes to mind, in addition to some doughy malt sweetness, brown sugar and light orange citrus notes.
A decent ginger ale, although the aforementioned spice remains comfortably in the background for the duration of the sip. Bready malts and gingerbread flavour come through initially, with some light orange and hoppy earthiness rounding things out at the tail end. Mildly spicy aftertaste, with some diluted ginger heat that fades rapidly. Medium-bodied, with relatively light carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel that doesn't work particularly well in this instance. I prefer my ginger beers to have a peppier, more assertive bite from the carb.
Final Grade: 3.29, a C+. Granville Island's Ginja Ninja is an agreeable spiced ale well-suited for the patio season, but it's not something I'm likely to return to any time soon. This one is far less ginger-focused than most of the other ginger beers I've tried, which may or may not be a plus for you. Personally? I think it would benefit from a stronger ginger bite, but in the end there's nothing wrong here. Give it a shot if you're a fan of the style, but don't expect anything more than a passable session brew.

On tap at Beer Revolution.
Appearance- Pours a clear gold with a 1/4 finger width of bubbly white head.
Smell- Ginger, citrus, grains.
Taste- Starts with a pleasant zing from the ginger then goes to the citrus and grains. I was hoping the ginger would stay throughout.
Mouthfeel- Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall- An agreeable enough Ginger Beer by Granville Island. The ginger is a little restricted and could use a little more of it to give it some more "oomph". Other than that, a good attempt at a hard style to brew.

341ml bottle poured into pint glass 17/6/13
A clear golden copper with a few tiny particles and lots of tiny bubbles but only a short lived finger of foam that leaves some polka dot lace
S ginger dusted apples pie crust with a little honey, straight forward but so are ginger beers
T more ginger then the nose and becomes even more one dimensional, gingers a little spicy but it still works well enough
M leaning towards medium, enough bubbles to please and the spicy kick lingers on the finish
O decent beer but nothing to get excited about, I'm just wondering when this ginger fad will fade out, I suppose it took lime a couple years to drop off the cliff
Maybe with some sushi but I doubt I'd bother again, not that's flawed or anything like that but its a ginger beer and they just don't do it for me

I like ginger. I like ginger a lot. But it's pretty much wasted here because there's nothing to complement it in this brew.
Pours a short head that immediately disappears leaving behindg a very ordinary looking clear apricot coloured liquid. Boring. Nose is clearly gingerous, but with not much else. Quite dry on the palate, bordering on dusty or metallic. Not much else happening in the glass. Taste is also one dimensional, just harsh ginger. Not really appetizing. Ginger works best when it's paired up with something else and those flavours work together. Nothing else here I'm afraid.
Meh. Part of a mixed six from Granville/Creemore. Just glad I didn't stick myself with a full six of this stuff. Done and gone.

A Butler woman, unable to convince aggressive bill collectors that she actually owes no money, is just one of the many Americans that phantom debt collection agencies are currently chasing down.
Judith Leonard, 79, isn't too proud to admit that the economic shine on her golden years has become a bit tarnished.
"I get food stamps and I go to the pantry," Leonard said.
In March 2011, Leonard's limited means grew even leaner when she fell down in her kitchen and broke a leg. The injury required a hospital stay at Shawnee Mission Medical Center.
"Oh you wouldn't believe my X-ray," Leonard said. "It was so bad I couldn't even look at it."
For the first time in decades, Leonard was in debt, facing an $1,100 medical bill she couldn't afford to pay. When collection agency Kansas Counselors, Inc. called to demand money, Leonard set up a modest payment plan of $50 a month. For three months, Leonard kept her word, faithfully mailing in her payments, even using some special address labels she'd had made.
"I was planning on paying them," she said.
But $150 into that payment plan, Leonard received a letter from Shawnee Mission Medical Center informing her that her entire debt was being forgiven, her account had been returned to zero.
Relieved, Leonard sent two copies of that letter to KCI and called the company to explain her debt had been cleared; and she was actually owed a $150 refund. Instead, Leonard says she got a lesson in phantom debt when the collection company made harassing phone calls seeking the payments she was no longer required to make.
"He was really belligerent," Leonard said of the debt collectors who kept calling. "He was going to come and break my other leg, it sounded to me like."
Leonard's story is one Chris Thetford, of the Better Business Bureau branch in St. Louis, MO, hears all too often.
"The aggressive tactics that consumers tell us about all fly in the face of the rules and regulations set forth by the Federal Trade Commission in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act," Thetford said.
Among those tactics is an increase in attempts to collect money that is no longer owed, what's become known as phantom debt.
Thetford says back when the economy tanked, many collection agencies bought a mountain of consumer debt on the cheap. He estimates the companies are working to recover $215 billion. According to Thetford, in many cases the collection agencies have very little information on the debts they purchase. As a result, it's not uncommon for them to end up calling on debts that have been discharged in bankruptcy, time barred from collection under state law, forgiven by the creditor or simply never owed in the first place.
So, finding out the money is no longer owed by a consumer doesn't erase the need to collect the agreed-upon amounts.
"There's a money motive for debt collection agencies to be more aggressive because of the dollars involved in the books of debt that have been sold," Thetford said.
In most cases, someone in Leonard's position could fight phantom debt collection practices with help from the Attorney General's office but that is not an option in the Show-Me State.
"Missouri does not have a state version of the fair debt practices act," Thetford said. "Because we don't have a state law it's impossible for the Missouri Attorney General to take action against these debt collection companies."
With the Missouri Attorney General unable to step in and Leonard still fearing harassment, KCTV5 News investigative reporter, Stacey Cameron contacted KCI by phone and by person at the company's Lenexa, KS office to see if he could clear up the mess.
One day later, two separate letters from KCI arrived at Leonard's home in Butler. The first revealed that all collection efforts had been dropped. According to KCI, "Please be advised that the account listed below has been deleted from this customer's credit history."
The second letter contained a check for $150, a refund for the three payments Leonard had made before the hospital wiped out her debt. Finally, Leonard felt a true sense of relief about this billing nightmare.
"If you're sure that you've been wronged, then tell somebody that cares." Leonard said. "And I appreciate your caring," she told Cameron.
In a separate email sent to KCTV5 News, KCI said it too cares about Leonard and apologized for the way she was treated. The company president said he was going to investigate the matter and forward the results to KCTV5. That answer has yet to arrive.
So how can someone combat phantom debt?
When contacted by any collection agency, consumers have the right to request written proof of the debt. Verbal communication is not enough.
If a person proves he/she doesn't owe any money and the harassment continues, complaints should be filed with the Federal Trade Commission, which monitors the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the state attorney general and the Better Business Bureau.
The BBB has had quite a bit of success dealing with these companies, getting them to stop contacting consumers who do not owe money.

If the so-called root certificate against the installation file that was signed has expired, then a solution is to set the phone date back far enough in the past for the duration of the installation (and then forward again the correct date).
Otherwise, the application developer needs to deal with it and have the installation file again signed with a digital certificate has not expired or copy the file to mass memory or memory card of device and try installing it from there.
find the application manager Open, select "Options" then go in Settings, depending on what version you have. Then under "Software installation" change the "Signed only" to "All" and also set "Online Certification Check" to off.

Thank u .
I thought certificate would be expired and sis file which installed was not proper.
Solution was : I need to manually copy and paste that file in SdCard, then it works properly.

Flavio Linn, who is currently in the Turner County Jail faces 14 charges, including fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, along with many other traffic violations. He's also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
A motorcyclist is in jail after a 2-county chase up I-75 ended with a crash Thursday.
Once it was over, deputies figured out why the guy was running. They say he was carrying large amounts of marijuana and a loaded gun.
Authorities say Around 10:30 am Flavio Joseph Linn was arrested after speeding at dangerously high speeds going North on Interstate 75.
Video from the Turner County deputy's car dash shows where the chase began and where it ended.
Linn sped around other vehicles as the deputy pulls out to catch another driver.The motorcyclist then picks up speed and the chase begins.
"Funny thing about the entire incident, the deputy actually pulled out to stop another vehicle that was speeding and I guess, guilty conscience got the best of him and he took off," said Sergeant First Class Garrett Five Ash.
Law Enforcement chased Linn on a Honda Motorcycle over 20 miles before crashing.
"I know he struck the back of one of the trooper's cars and I think he was just trying to get out of the box in," said Sheriff Andy Hester, Turner County Sheriff's office.
After crashing into the trooper's car, authorities say he came off of the motorcycle and hit the concrete wall that separates I-75.
Narcotics officers say he was carrying 3 pounds of hydroponic marijuana worth at least $15,000.
A loaded gun was also found on Linn and officials say they are still investigating previous warrants he has outside of Georgia.
Officials aren't sure where the suspect was planning to take or sell the drugs but they are still investigating that, as well.
Linn was taken to Crisp Regional Hospital but he is out and is being held at the Turner County Jail.
