The enigmatic center of the play is Pinon, a hermit who 18 years ago locked himself away in his seaside house after possibly cutting his wife into small pieces and permanently scarring the face of Gratia, a local prostitute. Now he sits at the edge of the sea cliff, observing the would-be suicides who come to this lonely spot.
They include Sebastian, a nervous young man with a heart condition who has just been jilted, and Daniel, who is suffering from questions over his sexuality and abandonment by his parents when he was a child. The third visitor is Vera, a runaway bride who comes to see Pinon out of curiosity after hearing his story from a hotel porter.
Bauer explores variations on his title theme. Sebastian asks Pinon to move into the light so he can see his eyes. Vera wonders to an unseen companion how she must appear in their eyes. The porter begs Vera to let him watch her change her clothes. Along the way Bauer weaves the characters' lives together, in "La Ronde" fashion, shaping ever-changing onstage and offstage duets. In this complex intertwining, Pinon lives in a house he won from the porter in a card game; the porter relates Pinon's history to Vera; Sebastian wants Vera; Daniel wants Sebastian; Pinon wants to be Daniel's substitute father figure.

Frank cook ,having being taken ill with a rare complaint, has been booked into a private nursing home by his wife June for a week's respite. Whilst there, he encounters the reverend Paul Latimer who is recovering from a heart transplant and whose odd behavior is beginning to alarm his wife, Sarah.
The young attractive Tracey might provide the answer. She is convinced that the vicar's new heart belonged to her recently deceased lover Melvin, a fairground "wall of death" rider. Could it be that Paul has taken on Melvin's personality traits as well as his heart? That again, perhaps he's just suffering from the side of his medication? Frank, ever the cantankerous septic, is delighted by vicar's fall from grace, while June does her best to rein in his detective work.

Winnie is nearly nine. Her mum, Laverne, is second- generation Afro – Caribbean and heavily pregnant but continues with her cleaning job since her husband left while she dreams of moving the family back to Martinique. Tuesdays are special:
Laverne insists that Winnie speaks only French ( in preparations for Martinique) and today is Tuesday – not her usual day to clean at the north London house of Kevin Tate, an affluent, bad tempered, philandering, minor television personality.
Not well enough to go to school,Winnie accompanies her mum and settles down to her homework; an essay entitled "MY WONDERFUL DAY".
Throughout the course of the next two hours, the shy, astute and ever watchful Winnie will amass plenty of material for her essay as a variety of adults parade before her: Kevin's baby-talking and patronizing mistress, his vengeful wife, and the hangover family friend who pours out his heart believing that Winnie does not speak English. But as events reach a frenzied climax, Winnie's essay will speak volumes.

Last performed on the Phoenix Stage in 1988, PIRATES is one of the better-known works from the indomitable pair of Gilbert and Sullivan.
It tells the story of a band of pirates [in this case Nairobi ones!] on their usual 'prowl of pillage'. One of their own- Frederick- has come to the end of his 'contract' as a Pirate- having mistakenly been apprenticed to them by his Nanny- Ruth- who, being from a region where 'L' and 'R' are one and the same- took 'PILOT' to mean 'PIRATE' and thus sealed Fredrick's fate as a young lad.
The Pirates want Fred to take Ruth with him…his only knowledge of a woman is indeed Ruth- who tells him she's as good as it gets. Only for them to stumble onto a bevy of maidens frolicking at the shores of the Dam.
They are daughters to a widowed retired Major General. On realizing the Pirates are bent on making brides of his daughters, he spins a woeful tale of him being an orphan- a story which melts the hardened hearts of the rogue pirates, and they let him go.
Fred, meanwhile, is informed of a small hitch to his being released from the pirates, and has to return to their ranks. He spills the beans regarding the General's story and they return to revenge for being duped. A bunch of lazy policemen is on their trail…
This is a family show- light story, melodious music, great talent!

After the death of her second husband, Bernarda Alba, a dominating woman, imposes a period of mourning on her household to last all of eight years! This has, apparently, been tradition in her family. Bernarda exerts an almost fanatically protective will over her daughters. She is preoccupied with ideas of honour and custom, in particular relating to the role of women in society, and is too proud to see the truth about her own five daughters aged between 21 and 40, whom she has shielded and controlled to an excessive degree and prohibited from any form of contact or relationship with all things male! The mourning period further isolates the daughters from the world around them, and tension mounts within the household.
Passion, anger, sibling rivalry and extreme jealousy haunts the characters in The House of Bernarda Alba…

Theatre: Changing Generation (A Musical), Nov. 26 2010-Jan. 8 2011 @ The Professional Centre

This is a story of a group of young Kenyans who have just graduated and are in the throes of celebrating this achievement but this is shadowed by a cloud of uncertainty of the future- corruption, lethargy, politics; getting jobs…Kim (Waithaka Gatumia) and Josh (Bryan Alufwani) are buddies and are in serious relationships with Purity (Jane Gathoni) and Bella (Darshani Haria). The hurdles begin to unfold when Kim's Mother is opposed to this relationship and regards Purity as a 'gold digger' of obscure breeding. On the other hand, Josh's Father cannot imagine his son getting hitched to a girl of different color. The young couples have their own self inflicted challenges. The issues in 1992, interestingly, are still the same today!! The cast is fresh and highly talented, backed up with an amazing band

Hi. I'm not not David, obviously, but I bought one of these portfolio sets and I can honesty say it's one best things I've ever purchased. I love it. It's absolutely amazing. It' beautiful. It's cool. It's crazy. It's in German. I have about 9 of the prints framed and hanging, and they are awesome. They're phenomenal conversation pieces. First off the art is kick ass. It collects prints of the page in the second volume "Dreams." Which I think was David's first painted story. I'm not sure but I'm sure someone on this board could verify that. It also has several cover and other prints. But virtually everytime people come over my apartment for the first time They can't help but notice the prints hanging up. And usually before they leave they walk around and take a look at each one of them. They just soak them in.
The second thing is practically 90% of the text is written in German. So after reading the Dreams comic several times over you'll pretty much know the whole story and most of the dialogue, well actually it's more narrative than dialogue. But anyway when some of your friends or guests are over and they're checking them out they inevitably say "What is this? 'I can't read this? 'Is this German?" This is where I slide up to the inquisitive young lass and smoothly say "Why yes. It is German." You then proceed to to give them the jist of the story and so on. And boy let me tell ya. They just eat it up. They love it. Well actually they usually just end up saying "You don't speak Germannnn!" and I say "No. I don't speak German but I do read comic books and as the endearingly forward Austin Powers so eloquently stated 'Shall we shag now or shag later."
Works everytime. Everytime. We then retreat to my love nook. And that my friend is precisely when my alarm clock sounds off snapping me back to reality and setting me back on the treadmill to resume my mundane existance. But as I get up and on my way to the shower I pass a framed Dreams print and for a split second. For just a moment I'm instantly transported back to that night, to one of many nights when I got to share the magic that is when someone takes an interest in Mack's work. And the bond you make when you find someone has similar intrests and can appreciate the same things as you. And you see in them what you felt when you saw Mack's art for the first time. Where you see that twinkle in their eye, as they soak it all in and say "That's so cool." or "Simply beautiful" or or "Absoultely breathtaking" or just "Wow...You hang comic book art on your wall? You're a bigger geek than I thought." No but seriously 98.3% of the people that come over are so intrigued by it. In fact I've given about 1/3 of my prints away because people end up flippinng through the rest of the portfolio and want one. Sorry Dave, at the time I was happy to spread the art of Mack but now that I think about it I think it might have cost you a couple portfolio sales. But then again, I just might have spawned a few new Kabuki fans.
Well to get back on track and to try and answer your question (dang tangents I'm always falling into), I believe the first run was limited to 990 portfolios. According to the signed card in mine I have #189 outta 990. But I thought I read a while back that they were going to reissue them because the first printing sold out. And I hope they did or soon will. Because like I said I gave a bunch away and I would love to have a complete set. I like to change them around every year or so and put some new ones up. I thought I recall reading somewhere that they would be around $50. Which if that's true that's a great price. I paid $100 for my set about 2 or 3 years ago. But it's been worth every penny. Again I'm sure someone else here might be able to verify that. Perhaps Mr. David Thornton our resident Mackologist. Then again perhaps not. I guess only time will tell.
But alas I've rambled on for way way wayyy too long. However, I really don't even need to admit that because I seriously doubt anyone would have the attention span or interest to read down this far in a post where the answers to your questions could have easily been summed up in 3 succinct sentences nevermind dozens of run-on ones. It's so long infact that I've forgotten most of your questions also I'm too tired to even bother to go back and proof read, grammar check and/or spell check my lil ol' post. So I apologize if it made no sense at all. Secondly I'd like to apologize if it did make sense. Thirdly I'd like to apologize for unnessarilly apologizing, I know it was totally uncalled for, I'm sorry it won't happen again. Lastly I saw Kung Fu Hustle tonight and it was friggin' awesome! Enough babble, Back to Life Back 2 ReAlity.

Clare County readers may recall a young Harrison woman – Amanda Brandenburg – and her devotion to making her community a better place. Brandenburg has done it again, this time honoring Clare County Sheriff's Department deputies, detectives and staff with home baked cookies, in honor of their duty to this area. The event took place, with no small coincidence, on the very day that an M.I.T. officer's funeral was held, one of the victims of the horrific Boston Marathon Massacre.
Feeling that law enforcement officials place their lives on the line daily protecting citizens, her idea was inspired to remind them the citizens of this county treasure their service. She hopes that she will never have to attend a funeral for one of their own, as with Kevin Sherwood several years ago, but it is her way of providing them appreciation.
"Every day I hope to spread a little bit of happiness and appreciation to those who deserve it. Continuing on this mission with my friends who share this passion is an amazing experience; to give back to the community where I have been raised is highly rewarding," said Brandenburg.
Where she finds the time to travel to conferences and bake cookies is unclear. Brandenburg is getting great grades and attends her classes regularly. An opinionated student, she is quick to question materials and bring debate into the conversation in a positive way, provoking thoughtful classroom discussions.
Brandenburg was assisted by Danielle Keysor, a fellow Harrison High School graduate who also attends Mid Michigan Community College. The two were inspired by their Social Problems class during this past semester, during discussions about law enforcement. Other previous "random acts of kindness" Brandenburg has helped organize and facilitate include food drives to help the dwindling stock of food for the needy of the county and jeans for a cure.
Recently joining a group of young folks called Team Inspire, Brandenburg will continue to serve Clare County. Previously she formed a Do Something club, inspired by the awards shown on VH-1. With only one or two volunteers, Ms. Brandenburg is not swayed to stop until she touches as many lives as she can through her service.
For her work in the community, Brandenburg received an award last year at the Annual Central Michigan Health Department's Health Summit, in honor of her dedication to helping others in the area.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Flanked by children who wrote to him after the tragedy at Sandy Hook, President Barack Obama called on Congress to ban military style assault rifles, high capacity magazines and require background checks for all gun purchases.
President Obama also signed executive orders strengthening the national criminal background check system and calling for more federal research on gun violence.
The president also pushed for increased availability of mental health services, which many support in East Tennessee.
Some are divided on the president asking congress to ban assault rifles and high-capacity ammunition clips.
Gun stores around East Tennessee were flooded with people looking to get their hands on high-capacity magazine clips and assault rifles.
Many fear they could go to the wayside, if congress adopts President Obama's recommendation to ban them.
"People just wanted to get what they wanted while they could," said Steve Bowman, the owner of CrossRoads Firearms in Fountain City.
A month after that horrific massacre at Sandy Hook, the president also used his powers to enact 23 measures that do not require the backing of lawmakers.
The orders includes steps to make schools safer with more school resource officers and better emergency response plans.
Parents of students at Fountain City Elementary School say the gun control measures are welcome news.
"I think it's a great idea, I think the decisions he made are good for the elementary schools. I think cops need to be at elementary schools, just like the middle and high school," said Love Ferris, a parent of a student at Fountain City Elementary School.
Proposals also call for stronger and universal background checks on gun sales.
The White House estimates 40 percent of gun purchases are made through private party sales without any background checks.
Jim Quinn, the owner of Knoxville Tactical, says he agrees on having stronger background checks.
"We have some of guns of our own that are private guns, and we do not take those guns to the gun show and sell them, simply because we can't do a background check," Quinn said.
Many gun store owners question whether universal background checks can prevent a black market.
"There can be laws saying that you can't do that, but there's nobody that can track it and manage it," Bowman said.
Others hope limiting access to assault rifles could prevent another Sandy Hook.
"There has to be some control on the stronger, more deadly weapons, the assault weapons," said Jackie Thurman, the grandmother of two students at Fountain City Elementary School.
In a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll, 88 percent of Americans said they support a law requiring background checks in sales at gun shows, including 89 percent of republicans.

New Orleans, La. - July 13 was already a special day for Lauren Itzkowitz, but now she has two reasons to celebrate.
"Today is forever my birthday and forever the day that Drew Brees signed his contract," says Itzkowitz.
The Who Dat nation is rejoicing across New Orleans.
"It was exciting. I called my dad and told him to turn on the TV. It was a good feeling. It really was," says Drew Allen.
Fans have been saying for months, 'Just sign Drew Brees.' And now just three days before the Monday deadline, a deal is finally reached and the wait is finally over.
"It's just a huge relief," says Win Ellington.
Drew Brees becomes the highest paid quarterback in NFL history with a $100 million contract for the next five years. Saints fans believe he's worth every penny.
"We are so happy that he got his contract. We don't know what we would do without him, so thank you Mr. Benson. We appreciate you," says Izza Farrar.
For the team, training camp will be next. For the fans, they are ready for some football and can't wait for the season to begin.
The manager said it started in the morning with a woman in her mid-60s paying for the order of the person behind her.

A man is in jail for reckless driving, and at least two homeowners are facing big clean-up jobs after the guy made a mess of their front yards early Thursday morning. It happened in south Fargo in the neighborhood behind Villa Maria nursing home around 1:30 a.m.
Police say a drunk driver in a stolen car ripped up the landscaping and hit a house at 402 Harwood Drive. He then tore up the grass and landscaping at another house at 1102 32nd Avenue South just a few blocks away.
Neighbors told police the driver bailed out of the car and took off running, but police were able to catch up with him. They arrested Ayub Abukar of Fargo for a number of charges. The 31-year-old is being held on theft and possession of a stolen vehicle, fleeing police, DUI, driving under suspension, and reckless driving.

New Mexico and Georgetown were both knocked out of the NCAA Tournament in their very first games this year. The similarities between the two programs are almost identical, minus the Final Four appearance by Georgetown in 2007.
Let's compare.
The giant New Mexico fan base had their balloon deflated yesterday by Ivy-League's #14 Harvard in an embarrassing early departure from the NCAA Tournament this year.
Meanwhile, just a few moments ago, the Hoyas were sent home in a high flying upset handed to them by #15 Florida Gulf Coast making the Lobo loss look a little more respectable. A little.
Georgetown's head coach, John Thompson III, has spent 9 seasons with the Hoyas with a 7-2 record of making the NCAA Tournament. Thompson produced a final four appearance in 2007 and sweet sixteen birth in 2006. The last five appearances were early dismissals.
New Mexico's head coach, Steve Alford, has spent 6 seasons with the Lobos with a 3-3 record of making the tournament. They have yet to win 2 games late in March.
In the last 5 years, New Mexico and Georgetown have proved that they are very good teams. Just not great teams.
Question: What is it about the NCAA Tournament that causes very good teams to fumble out of the first or second round?
Is there a doctor in the house?!

Behind the leaders, four golfers sit one-shot back -- Jeff Maggert, Ricky Barnes, Greg Owen and John Huh all shot 6-under to put themselves well within striking distance of the lead. Among other notable names, Johnson Wagner is tied for 17th with the likes of Steve Stricker and Lee Westwood after shooting 4-under.

Review Of The Spring Fling and Mini Shred At The Remarkables (29-Sep-08)
The Remarkables, NZ, September 29, 2008 - Fresh snow and sunshine made for a stunning day
Fresh snow and sunshine made for a stunning day at The Remarkables Spring Fling on Sunday (28 September).
A crowd of around 2000 people enjoyed a series of wacky activities, competitive events and entertainment which added to the great skiing and riding conditions being experienced by all.
"It was a complete success," said The Remarkables Manager Ross Lawrence. "It's all about fun and families and we had a great festival atmosphere around activities including snow building competitions, lollie scrambles, tubing races and a Splash for Cash competition."
And the spectators loved it.
"If they weren't watching the participants in the events they were chilling on the deck and listening to pop-rock band Simple Day, who were in awe of the crowd atmosphere and big mountain scenery which marked the end of their south island tour."
It was also the final round of the Parklife Youth Mini Shred competition held in the Fruju Beginner Park. Josh Clark, Youth Action Sports Co-ordinator, said there were several promising young shredders pulling off some amazing tricks.
"More than 30 young freestyle skiers and riders took part in the event. It was a great turnout for the grommies. I was very impressed with their riding steez and array of tricks. There were some local kids shining through and claiming victory."
The Parklife Youth Mini Shred was sponsored by K2, Alta Snowboard Shop and Parklife. "Thanks to our sponsors, every competitor walked away with a prize." said Josh.
Up for grabs were a pair of K2 skis which were won by the smallest and youngest competitor of the day, Noah Regan-Roach.
Results were as follows:

Ryan Matthews 1st

Yesterday we can all agree was a disaster for the Pac-Ten. With the exception of USC and Orgeon State, pretty much every team played well below what people thought that team was capable of. Perhaps worse, even , is that USC's convincing win over Ohio State will simply reinforce the 'USC is the only team in the Pac 10 worth a damn' narrative.
And yet, two weeks ago everything was totally different. USC totally waxed Virginia on the road. Stanford was relevant again after beating perennial bowl bound OSU. Cal beat an upper tier Big 10 team by more than the final score indicated. Oregon, ASU and Arizona were blowing teams out of the water. Washington took a BCS busting contender to the last play and got screwd by the zebras. And lest we forget, UCLA beat a defending SEC title game participant.
So which is it? How can our perception be so radically changed? Are things really that different? The bottom line is that each Pac-ten team plays three games out of conference each year, and those three games are the only games that matter (until bowl season) in deciding B.S. 'Conference Wars' pecking order. We let a very small and oftentime meaningless sample size highjack the college football narrative every single year. DURR the ACC sucks and Kal lost so they must suck even more l0sers!!11
I hate reading headlines that seem to indicate that somehow Maryland or UNLV somehow beat an entire conference yesterday. It just feels like provincialism and low-grade, lazy analysis is taking over in place of meaningful, 'how does team A stack up against team B' analysis.
And of course, come bowl season, a team from a conference that 'loses' the war (everyone outside of the Big 12 and SEC, apparently) will beat a supposedly better team from those two conferences and fans and talking heads will act totally surprised and amazed because conference affiliation has superseded all other more important factors in deciding who wins a football game.
OK, rant over - until I see the next headline about a 'Pac 10 apocalypse'

A north Georgia fire station was hit by crooks that took off with most of the tools used to fight fires and save lives.
Chief Jeff Cain with the Habersham County Fire Department told CBS Atlanta News that the thieves broke into Station 15 (Macedonia), sometime over the weekend.
Station 15 is an all-volunteer station. The volunteer firefighters noticed the break-in on Monday.
CBS Atlanta news met Assistant Chief Jason Davey at Station 15 to get an idea of that was taken.
"There's huge generator that sits right here. It takes a least two or three people to move it," said Davey.
The crooks made off with more than $8,000 in firefighting tools and life-saving equipment, including the AED which is used to help cardiac arrest patients.
Most of the items were inside the fire truck.
"The very first night we actually had to take these trucks out of service," said Davey.
The county has a combination of paid and volunteer fire crews which means the crook took from men and women who risk their lives just for the love of community.
"I feel disgusted. All of us do. Our job is to help other people. And we need these tools to help other people," said Davey.
The chief said there are leads on finding some of the stolen items, which could mean an arrest soon.
But for now, the items taken equal about what the department's insurance deductible is, so they'll have to eat the huge loss.
It also leaves the station to work with borrowed tools for now.

Battle of Memphis - Conflict:
The Battle of Memphis occurred during the American Civil War.
Battle of Memphis - Date:
The Confederate fleet was destroyed on June 6, 1862.
Fleets & Commanders:
- Flag Officer Charles H. Davis
- Colonel Charles Ellet
- 5 ironclad gunboats, 6 rams
- James E. Montgomery
- Brigadier General Jeff M. Thompson
- 8 rams
Battle of Memphis - Background:
In early June 1862, Flag Officer Charles H. Davis moved down the Mississippi River with a squadron of consisting of the ironclad gunboats USS Benton, USS St. Louis, USS Cairo, USS Louisville, and USS Carondelet. Accompanying him were six rams commanded by Colonel Charles Ellet. Operating in support of the Union advance, Davis sought to eliminate the Confederate naval presence near Memphis, TN, opening the city to capture. In Memphis, Confederate troops manning the city's defenses prepared to withdraw south as Union forces had cut the rail links to the north and east.
Battle of Memphis - Confederate Plans:
As the soldiers departed, the commander of the Confederate River Defense Fleet, James E. Montgomery, began making plans to take his eight cottonclad rams south to Vicksburg. These plans quickly collapsed when he was notified that there was not enough coal in the city to fuel his ships for the voyage. Montgomery was also plagued by a disjointed command system within his fleet. While he technically commanded the fleet, each ship retained its pre-war captain who was empowered to act independently once they left port.
This was compounded by the fact that the vessel's gun crews were provided by the army and served under their own officers. On June 6, when the Federal fleet appeared above the city, Montgomery called a meeting of his captains to discuss their options. The group decided to stand and fight rather than scuttling their ships and fleeing. Approaching Memphis, Davis ordered his gunboats to form a line of battle across the river, with Ellet's rams in the rear.
Battle of Memphis - The Union Attacks:
Opening fire on Montgomery's lightly armed rams, the Union gunboats fired for around fifteen minutes before Ellet and his brother Lt. Colonel Alfred Ellet moved through the line with the rams Queen of the West and Monarch. As Queen of the West struck CSS General Lovell, Ellet was wounded in the leg. With the battle engaged at close quarters, Davis closed and the fighting deteriorated into a wild melee. As the ships battled, the heavy Union ironclads made their presence felt and succeeded in sinking all but one of Montgomery's ships.
Aftermath of the Battle of Memphis:
With the River Defense Fleet eliminated, Davis approached the city and demanded its surrender. This was agreed to and Col. Ellet's son Charles was sent ashore to officially take possession of the city. The fall of Memphis opened the Mississippi River to Union shipping and warships as far south a Vicksburg, MS. For the remainder of the war, Memphis would serve as a principal Union supply base. In the fighting on June 6, Union casualties were limited to Col. Charles Ellet. The colonel later died of measles which he contracted while recovering from his wound.
Precise Confederate casualties are not known but most likely numbered between 180-200. The destruction of the River Defense Fleet effectively eliminated any significant Confederate naval presence on the Mississippi.

Angie's List: Preventing mosquitos in your backyard
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Summer is synonymous with many things; baseball, barbeque and unfortunately mosquitos. Angie's List has some tips to help you prevent the pesky pests.
Besides the annoying itch of a mosquito bite, it's important to get rid of mosquitos.
"Not only are mosquitoes a nuisance when you're out trying to have a family barbecue, but they are also a health risk," says Angie's Lists' Angie Hicks. "For example, you could get West Nile. Making sure you have a comfortable outdoor mosquito-free area is important for your family."
It's important to be proactive and get rid of any standing water.
"The thing is we are only looking for a very small amount of water," says Mosquito Control Contractor, Ken Frost. "In fact, it only takes a soda bottle cap full of water to breed several hundred mosquitoes."
You'll want to empty any bird baths and clean your gutters.
Plants like catnip, lavender, marigolds, basil and peppermint can also repel mosquitos.
If you do hire a professional, make sure you talk to them about their plan, especially if you have children and pets.

I don't believe Manning is coming back. If the organization thought he would be healthy and ready to go in 2012, then why not put him on IR and use the roster spot. I think it comes down to money. Think about it. If Manning or the team announces that his career is done, the Colts lose a HUGE fan base. Colts don't get many televised games next year, etc. etc. I think the Colts/Manning wait to make the announcement depending on where they draft. If it is in the #1 spot, then the Colts faithful will have hope that the next "Manningesque" QB will be directing this franchise for a number of years. I also think the Colts clean house in the front office if Manning isn't coming back, that's why I don't think we will see any changes until the end of the season. I wouldn't want to see any changes until then anyways!!!! I don't think there would be any benefit to changing coaches midstream even though they are doing a piss poor job. At the very least, this coaching staff ensures a top two pick in the next draft.
With that in mind, and Manning is indeed done, why not put him in the front office. I would put him in the same position as John Elway. I think VP of football operations or something like that. I don't think he is ready to be a head coach but that sure would be interesting. I don't think it would be wise for the franchise to make a clean break from Manning if they have money in mind.
Also, I don't think Reggie wants to come back if Manning is done, so that should make it a lot easier for fans to accept when old, pricey veterans are cut. Just my two cents.

Gingerly might be the best way to approach anything involving Ginger Baker. The man revered as the Van Gogh of the drums – for his thunderous contributions to Cream, Blind Faith and Fela Kuti's band – is reputedly the most cantankerous in rock. Gingerly, too, because the former heroin addict suffers from degenerative osteoarthritis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. I can't have been the only person at this gig, which launched his direct-to-fans anthology, A Drummer's Tale, to wonder whether he would make it to the end of the evening.
It had also been billed, since he turns 75 in August, as a bit of a birthday party for the old cove. "Happy birthday, Ginger," shouted a well-wisher as the star was helped to his stool by his "bodyguard" and co-drummer Abass Dodoo. "It's not my birthday," came the sour reply, surely knowingly true to form. One-nil, Baker. Surprisingly straight-backed, with his arms holding his wrists away as though they were stinky fish, he looked down his nose and over a curled lip at his kit, and us, like a superannuated Bill Nighy. Splashily, he settled into Ron Miles's meandering "Ginger Spice", alongside Dodoo on congas (mostly), Alan Skidmore's diligent tenor sax and the spry Alec Dankworth on bass.
Drumming simultaneously sustains and saps him. "It's bloody hard work nowadays," Baker said, audibly short of breath. "But I'll do my best." Like his mate Charlie Watts, Baker sees himself primarily as a jazzer. On Wayne Shorter's "Footsteps", he offered delicate cascades of cymbals during one of the more liquid passages. Baker is demonstrably better suited to such material now.
He used brushes for a rather lumbering take on Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home", with Lynne Jackaman a Janis-y vocalist. She really went for it on a sax-assisted "Sunshine of Your Love", the track developing a southern gothic tang when Marcus Bonfanti got his fangs into the guitar solo. Baker looked most immersed in Fela's jiggly and pulsing "Egbe Mio", as he and Dodoo traded a percussive call-and-response.
It was a call of nature, apparently, that soon led Baker from the stage. We were told there would be an interval, but he returned forthwith for "Why?" – the title tune of next month's album, his first for 16 years. It was a satisfyingly stompy rant, with the crowd invited to chant the salient word. Then the band was off again. Was this the proper break in the set?
Actually, they trooped back after a couple of minutes, whereupon Baker declared that "Toad", his legendarily tireless tour de force, "was just not on". They gave an amiable account of Sonny Rollins's "St Thomas" instead, Baker barking "No!" at one attempt to wind up and plunging into a final face-off with an I'll-be-damned determination. Exeunt. It was pretty obvious why the show then finished after its eighth number and barely an hour. How he managed that much was the issue.

Albany -- Wednesday night, three bus loads of students from Albany State University left for Jena, Louisiana to participate in one of the largest civil rights protests in recent years.
Around 5:00 Friday morning, those buses rolled back onto campus, just hours after ASU students marched with thousands in the small Louisiana town home to the Jena Six.
Student's said the protest was a surreal experience, one they believe will have an impact on civil rights for all Americans.
"It's not about what color you are. It's not about where you're from. It's about civil rights. Civil rights has not racial background, it has no geographic stipulations. It's about human rights. As humans we should be treated right, no matter who are or what color we are," SGA President Jazzmin Randall.
"I was very excited to see what seemed to be thousands and thousands of people there. It made me proud to be a member of this generation and to be an African-American, and to know that we had came together at this time," said ASU student Quenton Davis.
Official's say Thursday's protest, which included remarks from the Reverend Jesse Jackson and Reverend Al Sharpton, was peaceful.

With the constant thawing and freezing that comes with the rapidly changing temperatures we've been seeing in the QCA so far this winter comes questions about ice safety.
There are some basic things we all need to know to stay safe out on the ice.
According to guidelines from the Department of Natural Resources, you should stay off the ice until it's at least two inches thick; four inches is the minimum for ice fishing. The DNR recommends at least five inches for ATV or snowmobiles and at least a foot of ice for your average truck.
But remember, even under ideal conditions, the ice is never the same thickness all the way across a body of water, and whether it's 30 degrees out or 30 below, there is always a chance you could fall through.
"There is no such thing as safe ice," said Bud Mix, a Savanna firefighter who has been leading ice rescue trainings for area fire departments for 30 years now. For the last six years, he has taken those lessons into high school classrooms, too.
Mix says it's critical to know what you're doing before you head out.
It's important to know what to look for. Snow covered ice is tricky, because the snow, while it's an insulator, makes it so you can't see where the ice begins or ends and it adds extra weight on the ice. When the snow melts, that's tricky, too. That allows more sunshine to melt the ice and the water left behind by the melted snow erodes the ice.
"Basically when you see water on ice, you don't want to be on ice," Mix advised.
He also says it is important to know how to get yourself out of a jam if your find yourself on thin ice.
"Lay down and roll, or crawl, slither away from that dangerous area," he said.
And, it's important to know what to do if the worst should happen and you fall through.
"The most important time is that first few seconds up to two or three minutes after they go into the water for whether or not they are going to live or die," Mix said.
If you do go through the ice, stay calm and stay afloat.
"Hypothermia is not the killer so much as the drowning," Mix explained.
Another big survival rule: Never go into the water to try to pull another person out. Mix points out that more than 60 percent of people who die in cold water incidents are would-be rescuers.
Two people died in Chicago trying to help a friend just last week.
"If you see somebody that goes through the ice, the most important thing is to call 911 and get your fire department on the way," Mix said.
The fire department has the equipment and the training to make a safe rescue.
But, there is one piece of equipment everyone should have with them at all times on the ice: ice picks. They cost around ten dollars and can be picked up where you buy your sporting goods.
Mix says whenever you are out on the ice you should have ice picks around your neck or in an upper pocket for easy access. Leaving them with your fishing gear or on your sled won't do you any good in case of emergency, and in an emergency, they can save your life.
"Try to kick your feet and get horizontal and make short jabs with it and pull yourself onto the ice," Mix said, as he demonstrated how ice picks should be used.
But the best survival tip is not to go into the water in the first place. If you don't know what you are doing, stay off the ice.
In just the past few days alone, there have been some very real reminders of the dangers that come with going out on the ice.
On Sunday afternoon, a 12-year-old boy died in Cartersville, Illinois after falling through the ice on top of a pond. The boy's friend was rescued.
And on Friday afternoon, a pickup truck broke through the ice on Clear Lake in Iowa and sank. Both men inside the truck made it out safely.

Jun 24, 2011 4:01 pm
A spiked dessert that's just bananas
One little bite of gooey warm banana encased in crispy coating and you'll be hooked. Serve these nibbles in small dishes as a sweet finale to your meal, on top of vanilla ice cream, or alongside pound cake for a simple and delicious dessert. We like the way Grand Marnier lends a bit of orange essence to the dish, but feel free to substitute Cointreau or sweet sherry.
The 7/20: If you have these items in your arsenal, recipes categorized by 7/20 can be made with 7 or fewer additional ingredients in only 20 minutes of active cooking time.
Servings: 8 servings
1 1/2 cups cake flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped, bean pod discarded
3 cups canola oil
4 bananas, cut 1-inch thick on the bias
confectioner's sugar, *optional for sprinkling
- Combine the rice flour, sugar, salt, milk, Grand Marnier, baking soda and vanilla bean scrapings in a medium bowl. Let the batter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- In a deep pot heat the canola oil to 350°F.
- While the oil is heating, dip the bananas into the batter to coat. When the oil is hot enough, add the bananas and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Don't overcrowd the pan or you'll get a big mess. Only add as many as will float in an even single layer. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil. Continue in batches depending on the size of your pot.
- Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar if you choose and serve.
