A Season Of Excellence And Off-Stage Drama: The 2014 Wilde Awards
Originally printed 8/28/3014 (Issue 2235 - Between The Lines News)
Theater professionals from across Michigan will gather together Sept. 22 when The 2014 Wilde Awards are presented at The Berman Center for the Performing Arts in the Detroit suburb of West Bloomfield. Presented by EncoreMichigan.com, the most comprehensive resource for news and information about the state's professional theater industry, The Wilde Awards were established in 2002 to honor the excellent work produced by Michigan's professional theaters.
And this past season was "wilder" than most, said Donald V. Calamia, co-founder and editorial director of EncoreMichigan.com. "With the sudden closure of Performance Network in the middle of a run, a surprising announcement from Magenta Giraffe, the planned shuttering of Broadway Onstage, the unexpected passing of long-time theater critic Michael Margolin, executive downsizing at The Jewish Ensemble Theatre Company, the shutdown of the Michigan Equity Theatre Alliance - our most recent owner - and a ferocious winter that saw record-setting snowfalls, this has been the most tumultuous season I can recall in my 40 years of involvement in our state's professional theater community."
Yet despite the turmoil and challenges they faced, Calamia continued, "our producers and artists turned out work of the highest caliber all season long, which presented us with quite a challenge: How do you single out a handful of people and shows to honor when the season was filled with so many noteworthy accomplishments? But as I've said many times in the past, when times get tough, thespians get more creative - and once again the proof was seen on stages from Lake Michigan to the Detroit River and everywhere in between. So whether a producer has a million-dollar budget or a buck ten, it doesn't matter. It's how well they spend their budget and tell their story that makes the difference - and that's what we considered most as we debated our nominations for The 2014 Wilde Awards."
Now in its 13th year, The Wilde Awards honors the best productions, performances and technical work produced or presented by professional theaters across the state. Nominations are based on reviews written by EncoreMichigan.com's team of professional critics.
This year's team of critics included Dana Casadei, Carolyn Hayes Harmer, Martin F. Kohn, Michael H. Margolin, Jenn McKee, Sue Merrell, John Quinn, Bridgette M. Redman and Judith Cookis Rubens. "And for the first time since the inception of The Wilde Awards, I had no horse in the race," Calamia said. "I reviewed a grand total of one-third of a play festival this past season, and that's it. But I certainly had a lot of input based on the number of shows I saw throughout the season."
For this year's awards, Calamia noted, the season under review was longer than in the past. "When The Wilde Awards were created, we were part of Pride Source Media Group, publishers of Between The Lines, which is the state's gay and lesbian weekly newspaper. And so we timed the announcement of our nominations to match the annual Gay Pride event in Metro Detroit, which was generally the first weekend of June. So for our purposes, the season ran from mid-May to mid-May - which was a bit confusing for everyone. With META taking ownership of us a few years back, we decided to move to a more-traditional season, but we had to catch up first - so this year's nominations include shows from May 24, 2013, through July 27, 2014. And those additional two months had some pretty unusual ramifications."
The most notable, Calamia explained, was the number of summer theaters that competed against themselves across two different seasons. "That won't happen again, as our season from this point forward will be August through July. But to account for this, what we did in some cases was to expand the number of nominations in certain categories. And because of the large increase in the number of shows and individual accomplishments we had to consider, we also added honorable mentions to many of the categories. Even then, however, there were many notable shows that might have received nominations under normal circumstances, but didn't."
In total, EncoreMichigan.com's team of critics reviewed 225 productions produced or presented by 49 professional theater companies across the state during the 2013-14 season. Shows had to be performed for four consecutive days or more or over two weekends or more to be eligible for a review. And only shows reviewed by EncoreMichigan.com could be nominated for a Wilde Award.
Not every professional theater in the state was eligible to be reviewed, however. "This was the second season - and hopefully the last - in which we operated as a non-profit media company supported in part by annual membership fees charged to participating theaters," Calamia said. "With ad sales, grants and sponsorships negligible and unable to meet our expenses, META adopted a revenue model for us that was similar to other 'Encore-like' projects around the country, one that offers member theaters a package of services and benefits not available to non-members. And one of those exclusive services was the eligibility to be reviewed."
Awards this year will be given out in 27 categories, including one that is new this year, Calamia noted. "After the 2013-14 season was well underway, we were asked by a professional company that stages shows for young audiences if we would review a show of theirs. So we did - and then continued to review shows for young audiences as long as they featured professional adult actors in major roles. Although we had missed several shows by this point, we decided it was still important to honor the best of those shows we reviewed, so late in the process we went ahead and established a single 'best production' category for them this year. And this coming season, we'll add a 'best performance' category as well."
As in previous years, a number of special awards will also be presented.
After sifting through hundreds of potential nominees, 85 productions earned at least one nomination - as did 28 of the producing or presenting theaters. The top nominated theater is the Michigan Shakespeare Festival (Jackson) with 19, followed by Williamston Theatre (Williamston) with 13, Hope Summer Repertory Theatre (Holland) with 12, and Planet Ant Theatre (Hamtramck) and Tibbits Summer Theatre (Coldwater), both with 11. The only other theater with double-digit nominations is Farmers Alley Theatre (Kalamazoo) with 10. "With three of the top six nominated theaters having two complete summer seasons in the running - Michigan Shakespeare Festival, Hope Summer Rep and Tibbits - it's easy to see how our lengthened season impacted the results," Calamia said. "But one thing is clear: Their West Michigan cousins are giving our Southeast Michigan theaters some great competition!"
Of the 85 nominated shows, no single production leaped to the forefront. Four shows tied for the top spot with five nominations each: "10:53" (Williamston Theatre); "Cymbeline" and "The Importance of Being Earnest" (Michigan Shakespeare Festival); and "The Producers" (Tibbits Summer Theatre). Three others tied with four each, while 13 productions each earned three. "That means that 65 out of 85 shows are being honored with two or less nominations, which to me means that quality is spread out pretty equally across our state, and that high-quality, entertaining productions can be found in theaters of all sizes and budgets," Calamia said.
A similar indicator is the number of artists - actors, directors, designers and playwrights - whose work is honored this year. "Of the 140 people we've nominated, only 16 have two nominations, and just three individuals - Janice L. Blixt, John Manfredi and Michelle Raymond - earned three. This shows we have a ton of very talented people working - and mostly living - in this state, and we're pleased to acknowledge at least some of them and their craft with these nominations," Calamia said.
And that, Calamia said, is what he hopes people come to recognize about professional theater in Michigan. "One of the world's best-kept secrets is not only how much professional theater exists in the state, but how much of it is so well done. Our producers, directors, artists and staff people work very hard to offer our communities the highest quality shows they can, and we're honored to shine the spotlight on them for their endeavors. Congratulations to all our nominees and non-nominees alike. They staged one heck of a season, and everyone should be very proud of their accomplishments - especially during a season that saw so much upheaval and off-stage drama! And I encourage them to aim even higher this upcoming season!"
But will EncoreMichigan.com be there to cover it? And what is the future of The Wilde Awards? "With no owner and no budget right now, it seems like we're adrift without a paddle," Calamia said. "But there are plans afoot - and people have reached out with some ideas that may make us stronger and better able to serve our readers and our theaters. So be on the lookout: Encore 2.0 might be right around the corner!"
The 2014 Wilde Awards
The 2014 Wilde Awards, sponsored by Pride Source Media Group, will be held Monday, Sept. 22 at The Berman Center for the Performing Arts in West Bloomfield. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. with an hors d'oeuvre and cocktail reception. The awards show, co-hosted by Calamia and noted actress Naz Edwards, will begin promptly at 8 p.m.; a dessert afterglow will follow.
Admission is $21 per person; VIP admission is $46 per person, which includes unlimited bar service. Drink tickets for all others will be available for purchase on the day of the event.
Tickets are available now at The Berman's box office, by phone at 248-661-1900, or online at http://theberman.org.
The Berman Center for the Performing Arts is located at 6600 W. Maple Road, on the campus of the Jewish Community Center at the northwest corner of Maple and Drake Roads in West Bloomfield. Parking is free.
"Our 13th annual celebration of professional theater in Michigan will be a great way to salute the previous season and kick off the next," said Calamia. "And as always, it will truly be 'one Wilde night' to remember!"

Sponsored by BBVA Compass
Opportunity Village
AFP and BBVA Compass organized an event for attendees of the 2013 Conference to help Opportunity Village, an organization serving people with intellectual disabilities in the Las Vegas community. Projects include preparing for the events at Opportunity Village, cleaning, sorting tickets, organizing items for the Magical Forest event and decorating a tree sponsored by BBVA and AFP.
The fifth annual AFPAware events were bigger and better at the 2012 AFP Annual Conference in Miami. For the 2012 community service activity, 70 attendees volunteered their time to help ECOMB, an environmental not-for-profit organization, clean up an island near Miami Beach. Sailing out to a small island in Biscayne Bay, the volunteers removed trash left by visitors—improving the local ecosystem in the process. Sponsored by BBVA Compass
While the ECOMB activity took place before the opening of Annual Conference, PaintFest once again was set in the exhibit hall. Created by The Foundation for Hospital Art, whose mission is to give comfort and hope to those who suffer in hospitals by providing them murals, attendees clearly enjoyed taking time out of their conference to flex their creative muscles. The Paintfest murals are pre-drawn by Foundation for Hospital Art artists and color-coded. This year attendees completed nine murals, which will be donated to hospitals throughout the country. Sponsored by BBVA Compass
Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research
AFP and AFP of Canada made a contribution to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research based on the strength of membership renewals at Annual Conference. AFP and AFP of Canada chose the Michael J. Fox foundation for Parkinson's Research as a show of support for Michael J. Fox, the actor and author who was the keynote speaker at Annual Conference. AFP and AFP of Canada pledged $5 for every renewal; a total of 572 AFP and AFP of Canada members renewed their memberships at the conference, bringing the total contribution to $2,860. The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research is the second largest Parkinson's research facility in the world.
Cradles to Crayons
At the 2011 Annual Conference in Boston, AFPAware volunteers visited Cradles to Crayons, which provides children up to age 12 living in homeless and low-income situations with the essentials they need to feel safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued. The 65 volunteers shopped, sorted clothes and books, cleaned shoes, and more, for the organization. The volunteers prepared 119 book bundles; prepared 75 outfit packs; sorted clothes for 43 children; cleaned 80 pairs of shoes; and completed 93 orders. In just a few hours, the AFPAware volunteers' hard work touched the lives of more than 400 Boston-area children.
In addition to supporting Cradles to Crayons, AFPAware hosted a Paintfest with The Foundation for Hospital Art, whose mission is to give comfort and hope to hospital patients by providing them artwork at no cost. Nine murals were painted and donated to hospitals in Boston, Denver, Jacksonville and Phoenix.
Family Service Association's The Neighborhood PlaceThe Family Service
Association was selected as the AFPAware
project in San Antonio. 60 volunteers painted the facility, replaced the
skirting, laid the groundwork for a new chain link fence and two new storage
sheds, and sorted and labeled books for the library. They also organized
donations and prepared mailings for the annual Adopt a Family program. In
addition to the volunteer service, AFP donated a monetary gift.
In addition to the Neighborhood Place event, AFPAware hosted a Paintfest with The Foundation for Hospital Art,
whose mission is to give comfort and hope to hospital patients by providing
them artwork at no cost. 9 murals were painted and donated to hospitals in
Birmingham, Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston.
Larkin Street Youth Services
AFPAware participants helped LSYS
with several projects. Volunteers prepared a special meal for youth, organized
donations and cleaned the clothing closet accessed by youth ages 12 to 24 on a
daily basis, created hygiene and HIV prevention kits and 72 kits for youth ages
12 to 17 that are staying in the LSYS emergency shelter. Kits included
toiletries, wash clothes, sewing kits, shirts and pajama pants, bathroom totes,
and laundry bags. In addition, AFP donated a monetary gift.
Sponsored by Fidelity Charitable Services
Midnight Mission
As part of the 2008 AFP Annual
Conference, 50 AFP members prepared and served approximately 700 meals
on a day when the homeless are usually not fed. Efforts also included monetary
donations, leftover conference food, registration bags and other conference
items. Donations were made to L.A. schools and a school in Tanzania. Click
here for more insight on the event.
AFP Staff Gives Back
AFP staff members participated in helping with food preparation at the Food
& Friends Kitchen in Washington, DC. This was an opportunity that
allowed AFP to give back to the local community while continuing to expand the
efforts of the AFPAware.

We are excited to announce the publishing of Willa's Journey Home, an illustrated children's book that tells a story of hope on the difficult path traveled by homeless women who find their way to Shalom House. The story was written to introduce children to the issue of homelessness while teaching compassion, empathy and respect.
Willa is a little bird who never learned to fly and so never had a safe nest of her own. Losing her way, she wanders alone in a big and sometimes scary forest. With only her hope of finding a real home, her journey leads her to a special tree where other birds help her take flight and find her very own home.
In sharing our story of hope, you can be a part of changing lives by helping us educate and raise awareness about the issues of homelessness. Willa's Journey Home will also generate revenues for Shalom House, supporting holistic programming for the women we serve.
We need your help to make Willa fly!

Each week, Shalom House receives food donations through its partnerships with Operation Food Search, Schnuck's, Aldi's and local churches, many of them United Methodist churches. This means that each week there is a bit of chaos in the pantry until everything can be organized. Luckily for Shalom House staff, we have a volunteer, Betty Nishimura, who comes in every Tuesday to help sort out the newly arrived donations.
Betty is a retired physical therapist and has been volunteering at Shalom House for 11 years. Originally she sat on the Ladies Auxiliary, but stepped down to help take care of her grandchildren. She has been volunteering in the pantry for three years and attends Living Word. She is truly dedicated to Shalom House. "Whenever Betty comes to help out with the pantry, we know everything is going to be great, and it is really helpful for the staff," says Danette Thompson, Executive Assistant. "Each week she takes a huge load off of our shoulders!"
One of the many aspects of Regana's position is to accompany Shalom House clients to both psychiatric and physical medical appointments. For many of the women at Shalom House, visiting a doctor can be stressful as they may not have had positive experiences with accessing medical care in the past. Another factor to consider is that within the homeless, transient population such as we see at Shalom House, physical maladies are not highly prioritized; survival is the top priority. Often this leads to minor medical issues growing into major medical issues. For both reasons many of the women cared for by Shalom House utilize emergency rooms as their main form of medical care. Our goal at Shalom House is to educate our clients on the importance of working towards preventative care.
At Shalom House, women who don't go into Transitional Housing or Permanent Supportive Housing often stay for an average of two months in the Emergency Shelter before moving on, most often to another social service organization. Without the assistance of trained clinicians and case managers, the average wait at a community clinic such as Grace Hill is two months. As a result, the women may leave before ever addressing their physical ailments.
Shalom House continues to partner with Grace Hill Neighborhood Health Centers to quickly and more effectively bring general medical care to our clients. Each week, Regana, in collaboration with the rest of the clinical treatment team staff, assesses the medical needs of each woman at Shalom House and determines which individuals are most in need of medical care. On Fridays two nurses connected to Grace Hill's homeless program visit Shalom House and provide each woman with a brief health assessment. Instead of waiting two months for an appointment, the women now only have to wait two weeks! The women are provided referrals to OBGYNs, physical therapists and other specialized medical care to which they otherwise might not have had access. Not only does this partnership with Grace Hill more efficiently and effectively provide health care to our clients, but it also saves everyone money, as emergency room care is extremely expensive.
Partnerships with organizations such as Grace Hill allow Shalom House to truly take our client care and service to the next level. Without Regana, however, such partnerships would be made more difficult--even impossible. And without grants such as the one provided by BJC Foundation, Shalom House may not be able to provide such outstanding services to our residents.
Donna's story is an unfortunate example of the hurdles many individuals in our society face when attempting to secure food--a basic and fundamental right. Like many other of our residents, Donna suffers from mental illness and an addiction, which unfortunately led to an arrest and felony conviction. Before her conviction, Donna had been receiving food stamps for her and her son. Afterwards, however, Donna could no longer receive any type of public assistance for food or housing due to a law that ex-offenders with a felony record can never receive food stamps. To make matters even more difficult, most places of employment refuse to hire individuals with a felony record; nor are these individuals allowed to enter public housing. Food pantries, which seem a fruitful resource, can be difficult to utilize if you do not have an address, do not live in the county of the food pantry, or do not attend that particular church.
Donna is not the only resident in Shalom House that is an ex-offender with a felony record. Despite paying her debt to society, Donna is still being punished by being denied access to the basic fundamental human rights of food, shelter, and meaningful employment. Even before her arrest, Donna had a difficult time on food stamps as any raise in income can drastically reduce the amount of food stamps one receives—even if your income is still not enough to cover both food and shelter. When she combined the income of herself and her son as they were sharing a household, the amount of food stamps she received decreased to a mere $15 dollars a month!
Shalom House has now become Donna's only recourse. Until she was finally able to obtain employment with the help of Shalom House, her only source of sustenance was the food provided by Shalom House. But without the support of donors and volunteers that help provide the food, Shalom house would be unable to obtain enough food to feed all of our residents. And without Shalom House, residents such as Donna would continue to be unable to obtain food—a right many of us take for granted.
At the 2013 Signature Event, we were happy to introduce a new Shalom House video, "A Place to Find Hope."
Shalom House's successes and goals are made possible because of caring individuals in our community.

The propagation coefficient for a partially filled rectangular waveguide containing a lossy H-plane slab against the broad wall can be significantly altered if an air gap exists between the slab and the wall of the waveguide. The solutions of the dispersion equation show that the attenuation and phase coefficients may be increased as well as decreased by the presence of an air gap. For a fully filled waveguide the effect of an air gap is maximized if the gap is equally distributed at the top and bottom of the sample.

Eclectic Book Club: The Johnstown Flood
At the end of the 1800s, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, was a booming coal-and-steel town filled with hardworking families striving for a piece of the nation's burgeoning industrial prosperity. In the mountains above Johnstown, an old earth dam had been hastily rebuilt to create a lake for an exclusive summer resort patronized by the tycoons of that same industrial prosperity. Despite repeated warnings of possible danger, nothing was done about the dam. Then came May 31, 1889, when the dam burst, sending a wall of water thundering down the mountain, smashing through Johnstown, and killing more than 2,000 people. It was a tragedy that became a national scandal. Graced by David McCullough's remarkable gift for writing richly textured, sympathetic social history, The Johnstown Flood is an absorbing, classic portrait of life in nineteenth-century America, of overweening confidence, of energy, and of tragedy.

Question: "Although I participate in meetings, interact with coworkers and am friendly with clients and assertive in business situations, I have never been a very chatty person. Now I feel like this is causing my boss to lose confidence in me. She calls me the 'silent worker' and makes other comments during staff meetings that make me self-conscious. How can I improve her view of me?"
Answer: It could be that you are going against your boss's idea of the cultural environment in which you work. Corporate culture isn't always spelled out; sometimes you have to pick up clues from others' comments. However, your boss needs to understand that if her objective is to change someone's behavior, public criticism just won't do it. The moment a confrontation becomes public, the other person stops listening and starts building her defense.
I would continue to do your job well and be friendly without being familiar. The next time you hear this gossip, bring it up to your boss in private. Say something like: "I've now heard from a number of people that ... . It's important to me to be professional and do a good job, so if something is getting in the way, I'd really like to hear it directly. Then I can do something about it, and the whole department gains."
You have nothing to lose by doing this one on one. In a public forum, egos get into play and you could end up the victim.

Little Bit of Rain Gives Cal Poly Students Something to Measure
Updated On: Feb 03 2014 07:45:47 PM CST
Even with just a little rain, it is still giving students at Cal Poly something to measure. One of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's weather stations is on Cal Poly's campus.
"There is not any rain now because we already dumped it out, but this morning we had a reading of 1.17 inches," said Martha Moaks, a student. Part of Moaks job is to check the measurements on the rain gauges. "That was just yesterday's rain, from I think it started about 10:30 yesterday morning until midnight," she said.
Cal Poly has rain data that date back to 1870. According to those records the last time there was over an inch of rain in a 24-hour period in San Luis Obispo was Dec. 21, 2012.
The weather stations and rain gauges are both manual and automatic. Depending on the gauge, rainfall is measured every 15 minutes, every hour- or over a 24-hour period.
Rain buckets are set up around the station. They are automatic and use a tipping mechanism for counting. "When rain hits it, it will tip, and then the computer starts counting depending on how many tips," said Hilary Olsen, a student. "It then converts it to how many inches of rain."
The station also records temperature, wind- and solar radiation. The information is sent directly to NOAA.

I just got done reading this book and i LOVE it just as much as i love DREAM GIRL. I love all of the characters and i love the Claire and Andy relationship, they're so cute. I'm really hoping that Lauren Mechling makes another book to the series. I can't wait to read the next one.
Posted January 30, 2010
As of sequel to Dream Girl, Dream Life does not disappoint readers one bit. I found myself really liking Dream Girl, but I absolutely LOVED Dream Life. It was wonderful visiting Claire's world again - it's a world I've fallen in love with.
Lauren Mechling delivers outstanding characters once again in Dream Life. Claire is a wonderfully written character - she's witty, snarky, smart, and always makes you laugh. Kiki is the coolest grandmother ever! You can always count on Kiki for a good laugh. It simply amazes me how none of the characters blend into the wallpaper. They all stick out and are memorable.
Claire does some major sluething in Dream Life, and while the mystery aspect is a bit far-fetched and causes you to stretch your imagination, it's absolutely fascinating. I was so caught up in the story - I carried Dream Life with me everywhere I went. There were so many laugh out loud moments in the book. There was one scene at Kiki's birthday party that had me practically rolling!
Dream Life is a enjoyable read with a perfect balance of romance, a secret society, mystery, and everyday problems. This is definately a read for anyone wanting a hilarious, page-turning, light mystery.

Re: How to have a search by word(s)
If you have a sword install on a linux box with sword utilities installed you can easily make indexed modules and put them in your Ipod Sword
If your modules are in /usr/share/sword or /usr/local/share/sword or somewhere else but not in you home directory at ./sword then you need to get to root to index your modules.
$sudo su
enter your password if you are using sudo
enter your root password
If your modules are in your home directory
$ cd ~
$ cd .sword then don't use the root commands, see the local directory commands.
For root:
# mkfastmod <modname> -- if you are not sure of the module name just put a guess in and it will show the module names.
# cd /usr/share/sword
# zip -r yourmodule mods.d/yourmodule.conf modules/texts/ztext/yourmodule
you should now have a zip file called yourmodule.zip in the /usr/share/sword directory.
# mv yourmodule.zip /home/tom (your home directory)
# chown tom:tom yourmodule.zip (use your home directory name:name)
# exit (leave root)
$ chmod 665 yourmodule.zip
If your modules are in your home directory
$ mkfastmod <modname>
$ cd ~
$ cd .sword
$ zip -r yourmodule mods.d/yourmodule.conf modules/texts/ztext/yourmodule
you should now have a zip file called yourmodule.zip in the ./sword/ directory of your home directory.
$ mv yourmodule.zip ~
$ cd ..
you should now have yourmodule.zip in your home directory
Attach your Ipod to your linux computer
On your Ipod open PocketSword and choose More --> Preferences and set the Module Maintainer Mode On
Go back to More and choose Downloads and open the * symbol on the right top which will open a page.
Open your Chrome browser -- if you don't have chrome download it, because this doesn't work on Firefox.
put the IP address in your browser for example http://192.168.100.1:49604 (the last port number will change but it should be picking up your computer's ip address (the 192.168.100.1 (or whatever your ip address is). If your ipod sleeps before you get this all done, exit PocketSword and restart. If you get that it cannot find the page, keep trying, eventually the Installed Modules page comes up.
Click the Choose File button and navigate to yourmodule.zip that will show on the page.
Click Submit, if all goes well you will see your module installed. If it doesn't install you probably messed up the zip file. Check your zip file -- use Applications Archive Manager and you should see the following structure when the program opens the file:
folder mods.d
folder modules
If those are correct -- check to see where your text is, it could be in modules/texts/rawtext -- if it is you need to change the path name when you zip the file.
Hope this helps Tom Crawford

Scarlets duo pen new contracts
ESPN Staff
July 10, 2012
Liam Williams in action against the Brumbies © PA Photos
Scarlets have been handed a boost with the news that Liam Williams and Andy Fenby have both signed contract extensions with the RaboDirect PRO12 outfit.
Fullback Williams was recently capped by Wales against the Barbarians and has put pen to paper on a three-year contract with the Scarlets, while wing Fenby has agreed a 12-month extension.
Williams, 21, enjoyed a breakthrough campaign last season, scoring eight tries in 26 appearances, including a memorable effort in the Heineken Cup win at Northampton. Fenby, 26, has scored 11 tries in 50 appearances during his time at Parc y Scarlets.
Head coach Simon Easterby was delighted to see the pair commit their futures to the region.
"It's great to secure one of the Scarlets' most talented young players on a long term contract - Liam has impressed everyone with his skills and commitment last year and we're sure he'll only get better," Easterby said. "Andy and Liam are important players for us next season and it's important to secure the talent and commitment of these guys within our Scarlets squad to keep continuity and push forward our performances next season."

ALBANY, N.Y. — A woman who had been charged with cheating an Indian household servant out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in pay and keeping her a virtual prisoner at a mansion was found guilty Friday of knowingly keeping the servant in the country illegally.
Annie George, the widow of a hotelier who died in a plane crash, had said she didn't know Valsamma Mathai was in the United States illegally. She also said she didn't mistreat Mathai during the 5 1/2 years she worked in her home in a suburb of the state capital, Albany.
Mathai had testified that she slept in a closet, worked long days without vacation, days off or sick time and wasn't allowed to leave the property, a palatial stone mansion on a cliff overlooking the Mohawk River.
Federal prosecutors said George owes Mathai $317,000, based on the minimum wage and overtime for the hours she worked. Mathai said she was paid only $26,000, much of which she sent to her family in India.
George was convicted of harbouring an illegal immigrant. She faces a penalty of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine at her July 9 sentencing. She remains free on bail.
A federal jury handed down its decision Friday after deliberating since Thursday afternoon.
The case surfaced when one of Mathai's sons in India, Shiju Mathai, called the National Human Trafficking Resources Center in 2011.
On Thursday, George said a tape recording of a phone call between a woman and Shiju Mathai, which prosecutors played Wednesday, wasn't her voice. She didn't say who she thought the voice belonged to.
On the call, the woman warns Shiju Mathai there could be dire consequences, even jail time, for his mother if she were to tell authorities about working in the United States.
George testified that she was left in desperate financial straits when her husband died in 2009. She said she knew nothing of his business dealings, including the arrangement to have Valsamma Mathai live with them, because he required her to stick to her duties as his wife and mother of their six children and severely punished her if she tried to make any decisions in the home.
Her late husband, Mathai George, was a native of India who built a hotel and real estate development business in the United States. He was killed along with his 11-year-old son and another man when their private plane crashed after takeoff.
Defence lawyer Mark Sacco, in his closing arguments, said Annie George deferred to her husband on all decisions.
"The government is prosecuting Annie George because Mathai George isn't here," Sacco said.
He suggested Shiju Mathai launched the investigation because he was unhappy that his mother was sending less money home after Mathai George died.
But Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Belliss said Annie George was an intelligent woman with a graduate degree in pharmacy who, even if she didn't directly know Valsamma Mathai's immigration status, was smart enough to figure it out. Belliss said Annie George even took Valsamma Mathai to an immigration lawyer once, a charge George denied.
Prosecutors had no immediate comment after the verdict against George.
Valsamma Mathai, who was not in court Friday, came to the United States legally on a visa and stayed with another family after her husband died of cancer, leaving her the sole provider for her two sons and ailing mother. When she left that family her status was illegal because it violated the terms of the visa, Belliss said.
A business associate testified Wednesday that Mathai George left six hotels, all in foreclosure or bankrupt and in poor condition. Several friends of Annie George said when they visited it appeared Valsamma Mathai was a member of the family, rather than a servant, and George's children called her grandmother.
