"On The Academy Awards [Lady Gaga] was a travesty. It was ridiculous, as it would be from any singer who treats that music in semi-operatic style." So says Stephen Sondheim, who did not go on to offer opinions about Stephanie Blythe and Bryn Terfel in Sweeney Todd. [broadwayworld.com]
La Cieca hears that the Théâtre du Châtelet will continue its series of Stephen Sondheim productions with Passion, set to star Natalie Dessay (as Fosca, bien sûr!)
"The finale of Sweeney Todd left the stage of Avery Fisher Hall littered with corpses, but the evening, for all its flaws, felt vibrantly alive."
The stunning New Broadway Cast Recording of Sondheim's Follies is currently on sale on Amazon for an astonishing $4.99.
"…to a certain degree, good critics are no longer necessary to find. The phrase 'Everybody's a critic' has taken on a universal cast. The internet encourages people to share their opinions with the world. In the theatre, the buzz created by chatroom chatters has become increasingly important to a show's reputation before it opens. There are thousands of critics tapping away their opinions to whoever will listen – so who needs a paid pontificator to tell you what your opinion should be?" Stephen Sondheim rebuts Michael Kaiser and ponders the utility of Sanskrit to the librettist in excerpts from his [...]
"Then, with financial assistance provided by the United Negro College Fund, Bess got a degree in medical transcription…"
"Instead of Bess's leaving their Charleston ghetto for New York by herself, with the crippled Porgy giving chase some time later, the Broadway version would include a newly invented scene in which Bess tries to persuade Porgy to start a new life with her up North. She leaves, followed by Porgy; one final stage picture that was considered had the two looking at each other at a distance. The intent was to indicate that Porgy and Bess would be reunited." [New York Times]

Musical theater doyen Stephen Sondheim is not amused by plans to "revamp" (or, La Cieca might venture to pun, "devamp") Porgy and Bess, thus "to transform the classic 1935 opera into a commercial Broadway musical." La Cieca thinks this controversy will make for a very interesting sidebar in the ongoing Regie debate.

ABSTRACT: To identify factors, including the loss of a previous pregnancy before 20 weeks gestation, which are associated with increased risk of singleton antepartum unexplained fetal death (UFD) in Western Australia (WA) using information recorded in routine data collections. All fetal deaths in WA from 1990 to 1999 that underwent thorough post-mortem investigations were classified using the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand Perinatal Death Classification System. All UFDs were selected as cases and unmatched controls were randomly drawn from all live births in WA occurring during the study period. Demographic and clinical information on cases and controls was obtained from the WA Midwives' Notification System. Multivariable logistic regression was carried out to determine the independent effect of risk factors and calculate odds ratios. Almost one quarter (22%) of stillbirths were unexplained. Primigravid and primiparous women with a history of pregnancy loss before 20 weeks were at higher risk of UFD than multiparous women who had not experienced any loss. Women with a history of fetal death (after 20 weeks) had the highest risk of UFD. The current practice of closely monitoring pregnant women with a history of fetal loss or death should continue as this study suggests they may have a higher risk of poor obstetric outcome. Larger studies are needed to confirm the association between previous pregnancy loss and UFD.

ABSTRACT: To describe the rate of and demographic factors associated with fetal postmortem investigation and to classify the cause of all fetal deaths that underwent postmortem investigation. To compare the proportion of deaths remaining unexplained after postmortem investigation with estimates derived from death certificates. All fetal deaths in Western Australia (WA) from 1990 to 1999 were identified. These data were used to calculate postmortem rates and describe the characteristics of women consenting to postmortems. A multidisciplinary team classified the cause of all deaths that underwent postmortem investigation using the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand Perinatal Death Classification System. The proportion of deaths that were unexplained was compared with estimates based on death certificates. Of the 1,619 fetal deaths recorded for 1990 to 1999, 49% (n=789) underwent complete postmortem investigation. Based on investigations, 22% of the 789 fetal deaths were unexplained and a further 18% were identified as having fetal growth restriction. Based on death certificates, 42% were unexplained and 65% were later explained by postmortem investigation. Postmortem investigation rates are low. They reveal a cause of death for the majority of cases that are unexplained clinically. Epidemiological investigations of unexplained fetal death based on cases not subject to complete postmortem investigation may lead to inaccurate conclusions. A standardised definition for unexplained fetal deaths that distinguishes between cases with detailed investigation and those with limited or no investigation is needed.

ABSTRACT: To examine trends in suicide in the Northern Territory between 1981 and 2002, and demographic and other characteristics of people completing suicide in the Top End region in 2000-2002. Retrospective descriptive analysis of Australian Bureau of Statistics death registration data and data from the NT Coroner's Office. All residents of the NT who completed suicide between 1981 and 2002. Changes in the age-adjusted and age- and sex-specific rates of suicide in Indigenous and non-Indigenous NT residents over time; prior diagnosis of mental illness and use of alcohol or other drugs by those completing suicide. The age-adjusted suicide rate in the NT increased significantly between 1981 and 2002 (P < 0.001). Over this period, the rates among the Indigenous and non-Indigenous male populations increased by 800% (P < 0.05) and 30% (P > 0.05), respectively. Indigenous males aged under 45 years and non-Indigenous males aged 65 years and over were most at risk. In the Top End, a history of diagnosed mental illness was present in 49% of suicide cases, and misuse of alcohol or other drugs around the time of death was associated with 72% of suicide cases. Our study highlights the rising rate of suicide in the NT and suggests that suicide prevention initiatives need to specifically target Indigenous and non-Indigenous males in the age groups most at risk.

Directive 2013/50 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2013 amending Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the harmonisation of transparency requirements in relation to information about issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market, Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading and Commission Directive 2007/14/EC laying down detailed rules for the implementation of certain provisions of Directive 2004/109/EC ("Transparency Amendment Directive") was due to be implemented by 26 November 2015. The legislative process for purposes of the implementation of said directive and the related amendment of the current legislation, the law of 11 January 2008 on transparency requirements in relation to information about issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market ("Transparency Law"), is pending although it is not yet known when this process will be completed.

BCL Regulation 2014/No.17 of 21 July 2014 concerning the collection of statistical data from financial companies amending BCL Regulation 2011/No.8 of 29 April 2011 concerning the collection of statistical data from companies which grant loans or issue debt securities or derivative financial instruments to affiliates Background In accordance with the statute of the European System of Central Banks ("ESCB") and the European Central Bank ("ECB"), the ECB is required, with the assistance of national central banks, to collect statistical information necessary to undertake the tasks of the ESCB. Each central bank of the ESCB is therefore required to transmit to the ECB comprehensive and high quality statistical data on its country balance-of-payments and international investment position. In this context, and in order to implement the ECB's guideline ECB/2004/15 of 16 July 2004 on the statistical reporting requirements of the ECB in the field of balance of payments and international investment position statistics and the international reserves template ("Guideline ECB 2004"), the Banque Centrale du Luxembourg ("BCL") adopted on 29 April 2011 Regulation 2011/No.8 ("Regulation 2011/No.8") setting out reporting obligations for companies which grant loans or issue debt securities or derivative financial instruments of which the proceeds are used to finance their affiliates directly or indirectly. Following the release by the ECB of its Guideline ECB/2011/23 of 9 December 2011 on the statistical requirements of the ECB in the fields of external statistics ("Guideline ECB 2011") repealing Guideline ECB 2004, the scope of the obligation to collect statistical information has been broadened considerably, in particular as regards the businesses that have now become subject to reporting statistical obligations. BCL has implemented Guideline ECB 2011 by way of its Regulation 2014/No.17 ("Regulation 2014/No.17"). Read the full newsflash by clicking on the link below

Crystal Quinn and Oakley Tapola take over SOOlocal
Oakley Tapola and Crystal Quinn
SOOlocal, Soo Visual Art Center's outlet space at Nicollet Avenue and 35th Street, has been busy these days with a new series, called Equinox, curated by Crystal Quinn and Oakley Tapola. The pair, whose own artwork was featured earlier this year in the gallery, approached SooVAC about curating other artists' work in a series of short-run exhibitions.
Currently on view is the second exhibition in the series, "Make the Machine Feel Human," which includes abstracted landscapes created by James Penfield; the sprawling, frenetic, multimedia work of Brian David Downs; and music by the Seawhores. Like "Somethin's Rippin'," Quinn and Tapola's exhibition from February, the current show has an ambitious sense of chaos.
L-R: Work by Brian David Downs, James Penfield
Work by Lyndsay Rhyner
The Equinox Series is the first time the two artists, who are also roommates, have curated a show together, though each has curatorial experience. Quinn used to co-curate the Dressing Room series in a loft apartment with Art of This co-founder David Petersen. For that project, Quinn would work with participants to create an artist book that would be available at every show. Meanwhile, Tapola runs an artist publication, called Wopozi, that's circulated around the country.
"Make the Machine Feel Human"
Work by Brian David Downs, James Penfield, and Seawhores
The closing event is Saturday, September 6 from 6 to 9 p.m.
2638 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis.

These kittens are far to young for those clothes.
Let's suppose they have 17 (the older, right), 15 (the middle sister, left), and 12 years (the youngest, center). They're 3 purr-fect girls, to wear sexy lingerie. They´re not kittens, they're catgirls.
You're good with the manipulation, but my god these stockphotos are dreadful. Blurry, horrid colours and... cheap. The idea's good you know, so put some effort in to finding good stock... always
So cute! ^_^

All Product Details
I wanted the lettuce and eggs at room temperature...the butter-and-sugar sandwiches we ate after school for snack...the marrow bones my mother made us eat as kids that I grew to crave as an adult....There would be no "conceptual" or "intellectual" food, just the salty, sweet, starchy, brothy, crispy things that one craves when one is actually hungry. In ecstatic farewell to my years of corporate catering, we would never serve anything but a martini in a martini glass. Preferably gin.
Before Gabrielle Hamilton opened her acclaimed New York restaurant Prune, she spent twenty fierce, hard-living years trying to find purpose and meaning in her life. Above all she sought family, particularly the thrill and the magnificence of the one from her childhood that, in her adult years, eluded her. Hamilton's ease and comfort in a kitchen were instilled in her at an early age when her parents hosted grand parties, often for more than one hundred friends and neighbors. The smells of spit-roasted lamb, apple wood smoke, and rosemary garlic marinade became as necessary to her as her own skin.
Blood, Bones and Butter follows an unconventional journey through the many kitchens Hamilton has inhabited through the years: the rural kitchen of her childhood, where her adored mother stood over the six-burner with an oily wooden spoon in hand; the kitchens of France, Greece, and Turkey, where she was often fed by complete strangers and learned the essence of hospitality; the soulless catering factories that helped pay the rent; Hamilton's own kitchen at Prune, with its many unexpected challenges; and the kitchen of her Italian mother-in-law, who serves as the link between Hamilton's idyllic past and her own future family — the result of a difficult and prickly marriage that nonetheless yields rich and lasting dividends.
Blood, Bones and Butter is an unflinching and lyrical work. Gabrielle Hamilton's story is told with uncommon honesty, grit, humor, and passion. By turns epic and intimate, it marks the debut of a tremendous literary talent.
"Funny, focused, and fierce with wiry wisdom, this memoir is a muscular meditation on living fearlessly. Its a sort of 'Code of the Samurai' for every 21st century person, written by a witty literature professor with a second-degree black belt and a keen eye for spotting human folly. Schorn breaks down our conventional understanding of confronting menace in the world with the same ease that she breaks planks of wood. A perfect, engaging read for tackling college, the workplace, marriage, or prison—basically anywhere humans congregate with complicated motives."
—Joe Loya, author of The Man Who Outgrew His Prison Cell: Confessions of a Bank Robber
"This book delivers a swift, lethal karate chop at pantywaistedness in all its forms. With huge amounts of wit and grace, Susan Schorn looks Adversity in the eye, and crushes that sucker's windpipe."
—Henry Alford, author of Would It Kill You to Stop Doing That?: A Modern Guide to Manners
"Smile at Strangers is an elegant, often hilarious, and very personal account of women who fight and the paths they take to fearlessness. If youre anywhere on that path—and if you love someone who is—it might be your most essential read of the year."
—Michael Erard, author of Babel No More: The Search for the World's Most Extraordinary Language Learners
"Eat, pray...kick ass. Smile at Strangers is the ultimate self-defense guide—from the liberation of the word 'no' to protecting yourself from overzealous Girl Scout troop leaders—all the while cleverly disguised as an insightful, grounded memoir with bursts of hilarity that hit you like a roundhouse. Delivered with self-deprecating candor, Schorn's life lessons learned at the dojo will resonate with anyone who's ever tried to remodel a house, raise kids, cope with a health crisis, navigate office politics or hyperventilated—essentially anyone who's ever been slammed on the mat while testing for the black belt of life. In fact, Schorn's skill at karate is only outmatched by her mastery at prose. Like the fighter herself, you can't put this one down."
—Mary Moore, author of The Unexpected When You're Expecting: Clear, Comprehensive, Month-by-Month Dread
"This is a memoir Ill be thinking and talking about for a long time. To begin with, the voice is unique—trust me, youve never heard anyone talk about coping with fear and anger the way Susan Schorn does. The writing is hilarious at times, dead serious when it needs to be, and always brilliant. The insights into the psychology of martial arts training—with special emphasis on the experiences of female students and teachers—is sure to launch a thousand discussions about violence, gender, confidence, and how to deal with alligators. I enjoyed this book thoroughly, and I will make sure never to get into a fistfight with its author."
—Mark Salzman, author of Iron and Silk
"Susan Schorn is a badass black belt with a huge heart and generous wit. This inspiring, often funny tale of her journey—from a cowering, self-confessed "neurotic" to a martial arts master—is not just about the kick. Its about how the lessons of karate can be applied to womens daily lives to make us stronger and less fearful—as friends, mothers, wives, and professionals—no matter how we dress or where we go. Smile at Strangers is a power tool indeed. Its a swift chop to the myth that women need to live like victims in order to survive. It made me want to take up martial arts too—and keep reading."
—Susan Jane Gilman, author of Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress
"Hey readers! Time to put on your karate pants and crush some imaginary trachea! In Smile at Strangers Susan Schorn urges us to confront our fears in an increasingly scary world. Who knew that the highs and lows of the dojo held superb—and often funny— lessons for life? Schorn never suggests that karate is the only path, or even the best path. She is reminding us that we have a choice. We all experience fear, but we can choose our response to it. Overall, reading Smile at Strangers is sort of like watching samurai chanbara, only with more safety helmets and female bonding. You wince, but you cant look away."
—Rhoda Janzen, author of Mennonite in a Little Black Dress
Susan Schorn led an anxious life. For no clear reason, she had become progressively paralyzed by fear. Fed up with feeling powerless, she took up karate.
She learned how to say no and how to fight when you have to (even in the dark). Karate taught her how to persuade her husband to wear a helmet, best one bossy Girl Scout troop leader, and set boundaries with an over-sharing boss. Here this double black belt recounts a fighting, biting, laughing woman's journey on the road to living fearlessly—where enlightenment is as much about embracing absurdity and landing a punch as about finding that perfect method of meditation.
Full of hilarious hijinks and tactical wisdom, Schorn's quest for a more satisfying life features practical—and often counterintuitive—lessons about safety and self defense.

Mouse Genomes Project
The ability to manipulate the mouse genome, together with the wealth of disease models, inbred strains and genomic resources, makes the mouse the premier model organism for genetic approaches to mammalian biology. Over a century of mouse genetics has provided scores of inbred strains, spontaneous and engineered mutations, making the mouse unsurpassed as a model system for investigating human disease. Access to complete sequence of multiple inbred strains will add to these resources and will become a permanent foundation for a systems biology approach to phenotypic variation in the mouse.
The Mouse Genomes Project uses next generation sequencing technologies to sequence the genomes of key laboratory mouse strains. We are releasing the raw sequence data, SNPs, short indels, structural variants, assembled chromosomes, and strains specific gene annotation under our data release policy.

Create eye-catching clear sticks and balms to sprayable gels and emulsions with Croda's OleoCraft polymers. The supplier recently launched its OleoCraft range, a group of oil structuring polymers that create impressive films on the skin, lip and eyelash, delivering water and wear resistance benefits in color cosmetic and sun care applications.
The OleoCraft polymer range consists of low color and low odor high performance thermoplastic solids, proven to form crystal clear, thermo-reversible gels. The products cover a range of high to low polarity oils providing compatibility to a wide range of cosmetic ingredients. The OleoCraft polymers can be used to create novel formats.
Originally acquired though Croda's purchase of the polyamide technology from global Florida-based Specialty Chemicals business, Arizona Chemical, in May 2013 and formally under the trade name Sylvaclear, the production of these products has been transferred to Croda's Mevisa manufacturing plant in Spain and honed to offer a range of four exceptional products; OleoCraft LP-20; OleoCraft MP-30; OleoCraft HP-31 and OleoCraft MP-32.
In other news, Croda also recently launched a new conditioning agent, CrodazoquatMCC (MultiCultural Conditioning), designed to address the expanding market need for multicultural conditioning and damage repair for a diverse range of hair types. The company noted that the broad regulatory acceptance of Crodazoquat MCC will enable globally-acceptable formulations.

[[caption-width-right:239:[[FairForItsDay Not the Prime Minister we deserved,]] [[Film/TheDarkKnight but the Prime Minister we needed]] [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII right then.]]]]
->''"We are all worms. But I do believe that I am a glow-worm."''
-->-- Remark to Violet Bonham-Carter[[note]]Grandmother of Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter and daughter of Churchill's former boss UsefulNotes/HerbertHenryAsquith.[[/note]]
Sir '''Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill''' (November 30, 1874 -- January 24, 1965). [[KnightFever Knight of the Garter, Order of Merit, Companion of Honor, Territorial Decoration, Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, Fellow of the Royal Society]], [[UsefulNotes/NobelPrizeInLiterature Nobel Laureate]], first Honorary Citizen in United States history, and almost the Duke of London. British Prime Minister from 1940-1945 and again from 1951-55. Best known for helping win UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, and he even won a Nobel Prize for writing about it in a six-volume {{Doorstopper}}.
A very much beloved British Prime Minister, he is famous for his [[DeadpanSnarker constant wit]] (e.g. Bessie Braddock MP: "You, sir, are drunk!" Churchill: "And you are ugly. Tomorrow morning, madam, I shall be sober."), his cigar-smoking (his scowl in the famous portrait, shown above, is because the photographer took his cigar away) and the Victory salute ("the bird" inverted, although ''he'' didn't invert it.)
Churchill had actually been a senior politician for decades. Originally elected as a Conservative in 1900, he changed to the Liberal Party due to his support for free trade. He soon became a cabinet minister and the architect of several of the reforms and welfare programs introduced by the Liberals, but he resigned from the War Cabinet in UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne after the failure of Gallipoli. He lost his seat in 1922, but returned in 1924 and rejoined the Conservatives. He served as Chancellor of the Exchequer (finance minister) for the next five years, where he made a disastrous decision to reintroduce the gold standard. Churchill described this as the biggest mistake of his career; it resulted in high unemployment and strikes. He was isolated within the party in the 1930s, but made a political comeback after his opposition to the appeasement of Germany was vindicated.
Churchill took over as Prime Minister after UsefulNotes/NevilleChamberlain resigned in 1940 after the Nazis invaded Norway, and invited the Labour Party to join his government. From 1940-1941, the [[{{UsefulNotes/Britain}} UK]] was the only country fighting against Germany, and Churchill made some of his most famous speeches around this time, which are credited for keeping the country's fighting spirit alive. The situation improved after the [[HistoryOfTheUSSR USSR]] and [[{{UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates}} USA]] joined the following year. Churchill became a close friend of UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt and managed to [[EnemyMine work effectively with Stalin]], despite being strongly anti-communist.
Famously, his party were [[LandslideElection routed by the Labour Party in a general election]] a few months after the war ended in Europe. It appears voters considered him to be a fine wartime leader, but were sceptical about his ability to govern the country in peacetime (which mirrors the view historians have of him). He later recovered and won a second term in 1951[[note]]though Labour actually received more votes than the Conservatives in that election.[[/note]], serving until his retirement from frontline politics in 1955. (During this time, [[UsefulNotes/HMTheQueen Elizabeth II]] became Queen.) [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks His second term as Prime Minister is generally regarded a lot less favourably than his first]]. He died in 1965, three months after retiring from Parliament, and his state funeral became one of the most watched and attended funerals in history.
Winning a world war (and funding the invention of the [[TankGoodness tank]]) will get a lot of people to forget your less popular policies -- and some were very unpopular. Gallipoli and the gold standard are mentioned above. Although, to be fair, the failure of the Gallipoli/Dardanalles campaign was hardly his fault alone; he was just the delicious scapegoat for it. He made a number of blunders as First Lord of the Admiralty in the opening of WorldWarI, largely due to his inexperience with issuing naval orders and his [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness tendency to resort to unnecessarily colorful language]], which confused their recipients. He was again isolated in the 1930s due to his opposition to Indian autonomy and the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_VIII_abdication_crisis abdication of Edward VIII]]. Furthermore, in 1943, while PM, he ignored a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943 famine in Bengal]], which eventually killed 4 million people, though responsibility could be said to lie with local authorities rather than him personally. He expressed disappointment at one point that Gandhi was not one of them, however, which suggests that he wasn't as bothered by it as he should have been.
He was also notably racist, like many people at the time, and supported the use of non-lethal gas on rebellious Iraqis and other "uncivilised tribes" who had been attacking those under nominal British protection. [[FairForItsDay That said, the latter could equally be considered a mark of considerable restraint]], since the general response by the British, particularly those of a military background, to such actions was KillItWithFire. Around the same time, he loudly denounced the Amritsar Massacre in India, a bolder move than expected since many British imperialists defended it. He was also known for supporting eugenics and, especially, the British Empire. Both have to be taken in the context of the time, however, with eugenics being wildly popular until Nazism showed the dark side of it, and that most Brits of the time were pro-Empire. He also never won ''the popular vote'' in a British general election: in the 1951 election, Labour actually polled a quarter of a million votes more than him, the most any party had taken at the time, and the most Labour has ever managed. However, a quirk of the system meant that Churchill took the victory (similarly to the way UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush won the 2000 presidential elections in {{Eagleland}}).
[[OfficerAndAGentleman He'd been in the army before going into politics]] and was also a [[IntrepidReporter war correspondent]]. He served in both UsefulNotes/TheRiverWar and the UsefulNotes/SecondBoerWar, playing minor but conspicuous roles in each. In the former, he charged with the 21st Lancers at Omdurman; in the latter, he escaped from a Boer POW camp and traveled 300 miles to neutral Portuguese East Africa. He even served briefly in World War I after his resignation from the Cabinet. As well as his Nobel Prize-winning book on the UsefulNotes/SecondWorldWar (not the most reliable source, but an invaluable memoir), he wrote [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a history of the English-speaking peoples]] and a largely forgotten political thriller called ''Savrola: A Tale of the Revolution in Laurania''.
A real-life BunnyEarsLawyer, he once had a meeting with UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt while he was taking a bath, had little awareness of social mannerisms and sometimes wandered around his house naked. He more or less had a drink with him at all times, thus the, "You, sir, are drunk!", quote. [[CerebusSyndrome He also suffered from depression, which he called his "black dog".]] He was also obsessed with what he called "the soft underbelly of Europe" in the Mediterranean, leading to results that varied from disastrous in UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne (Gallipoli/Dardanalles) to merely wasteful (The Italian campaign) in UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo. One little known aspect of this "soft underbelly" is the fact that after supporting ELAS (the Greek Partisans of LaResistance against the Nazi Occupation of Greece, comprised of several communists), he immediately turned on them after liberation [[KickTheDog and tasked Lt. Ronald Scobie to arm and support Greek fascists]] (and LesCollaborateurs) to hunt down the partisans citing fears of a Communist takeover in the Mediterranean. He later justified it as part of a pre-emptive move during the UsefulNotes/ColdWar but the Greeks saw it as an unjustified act of betrayal from people who had willingly allied with them against the Nazis.
He was [[DueToTheDead given a state funeral on his death in 1965, with a lot of leaders turning up]]. He is buried in a churchyard in Bladon, Oxfordshire. Up until the funeral of Pope John Paul II in 2005 his funeral was attended by the most heads of states.
Winston Churchill was notably a child of a binational marriage; his mother Jeanette Jerome was an [[UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates American]] {{Socialite}} from [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity Brooklyn]]. A study of her biography, and that of her father Leonard Jerome, makes it very clear which side of the family Sir Winston got his resiliency from.
In 1963, he became the first person to be granted an honorary citizenship of the United States, and one of only two given this honor while they were alive (the other being Mother Teresa). Including Churchill, there are only seven honorary American citizens. He is also one of the very few non-American citizens to have a U.S. naval vessel named in his honor. (Appropriately, the USS Winston S. Churchill has a Royal Navy guest officer assigned to her company and flies the White Ensign below the Stars and Stripes.)
[[AuthorsOfQuote Many of Churchill's quotes are rightly legendary]], (with his insults even ''more'' legendary. Cracked.com once described him as "handing out third-degree burns like some sort of reverse fireman.") including (as well as our page quote):
* I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is ARiddleWrappedInAMysteryInsideAnEnigma, but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.
* I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.
* If the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'
* From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an UsefulNotes/IronCurtain has descended across the Continent.
* In time of war, when truth is so precious, it must be attended by a bodyguard of lies.
* [[{{Eagleland}} One can always trust the United States to do the right thing,]] [[GodzillaThreshold once every possible alternative has been exhausted.]]
* Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed, by so many, to so few.
* A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
* An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.
* [[SortingAlgorithmOfEvil If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.]]
* History will be kind to me [[WrittenByTheWinners for I intend to write it]].
* [[http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/w/winston_churchill.html And so many more.]] You can get a lot of chapter titles from his quotes.

[[folder:Churchill in media]]
* Pretty much anything set in Britain during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
* In ''Literature/TheBloodyRedBaron'' by Creator/KimNewman, set during UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne, Churchill makes a brief appearance as a member of the War Cabinet.
* The young war correspondent Churchill guest-stars in the Literature/TimeWars novel ''The Khyber Connection'', and is attacked by time-travelling assassins.
* Appears in ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'', in which the main characters must go back in time and stop him from being a nudist.
* In the TimeTravel / AlternateHistory novel ''The Proteus Operation'', people from a different United States go back in time to the 1930s to save the world from the Nazi Empire which defeated Britain. They need to find someone in politics to work with to save the UK. When the name Winston Churchill comes up they are about to dismiss him as all washed up and his career over. Then they think more about it and realize that he is untarnished with the defeatism and appeasement of so many others.
* When the cast of ''Series/AreYouBeingServed'' camps out on the floor one night, Mr Grainger does an impression of Churchill giving one of his famous speeches.
* A playable leader in ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} IV'' (added in the ''Warlords'' expansion). His traits are Charismatic/Protective--which boost "happiness" (a rough stand-in for home-front morale during wartime) and defense respectively. This makes him pretty good for [[GradualGrinder turtling]].
* Makes a short appearance in ''Film/InglouriousBasterds''.
* He appears in the special side missions of VideoGame/AssassinsCreedSyndicate
* Appeared in "Victory of the Daleks", the third episode of the 2010 series of ''Series/DoctorWho''. [[spoiler: He and the Doctor are apparently old friends, and he keeps trying to swipe the TARDIS key from the Doctor.]] He also turns up in the season finale "The Wedding of River Song" in an corrupted version of the universe where every time is happening at once, where [[spoiler: he intrinsically trusts the Doctor due to feeling echoes of their friendship in the proper timeline.]] Interestingly, in the latter, he is not prime minister; he is [[AnachronismStew Holy Roman Emperor]].
* [[TheGhost Frequently mentioned but rarely seen]] in the {{Timeline-191}} AlternateHistory series by Creator/HarryTurtledove. When Britain allies with the Confederacy and loses the UsefulNotes/FirstWorldWar, he becomes Prime Minister in a coalition with [[ThoseWackyNazis Oswald Mosley's]] Blackshirts on a platform of revanchism. [[spoiler: He is forced to resign when London, Brighton and Norwich are destroyed by German atomic bombs and the British counterattack is defeated]]. Every time he is mentioned, characters reflect on his gift of the gab (EVERY TIME).
* Yet another TimeTravel novel, ''Lightning'' by Creator/DeanKoontz, ends with a time-traveling ex-Nazi returning to just after World War II and [[spoiler: persuading Churchill to finish off the Soviets as well, creating a much nicer world.]]
* In ''Film/TheKingsSpeech'', about the abdication of Edward VIII and the ascension of George VI to the throne, Churchill was played by Creator/TimothySpall. He appears to encourage Albert to take on the role of king, and also shares how he too once had a speech impediment. Spall also played Churchill in the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2012 UsefulNotes/OlympicGames.
* Ken Follett's {{Doorstopper}} novel ''[[Literature/TheCenturyTrilogy Fall of Giants]]'' features Churchill during UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne.
* On ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'', after Leslie had to pull down her pants on TV to prove her innocence in sex scandal, she says this in a ConfessionCam:
-->''"It's gotten a lot harder to work in government. You think Winston Churchill ever had to pull his pants down and show his butt? No. But would he have? Yes. Now ''could'' he have? Well, maybe not towards the end of his life. But he would have. Because he loved his job."''
* ''Film/TheEagleHasLanded'' was a fictionalized account of a real Nazi plot to kidnap Churchill on his native soil.
* [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Will]] becomes Churchill's speech writer in ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic''.
* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'' gives him a HistoricalVillainUpgrade, in which he was a member of TheKnightsTemplar and actually helped ''masterminded'' World War II along with FDR and Hitler.
* The ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' series imply that he was a son of the Big Three; Hades, Poseidon or Zeus. Its Wiki reveals that he is the son of Poseidon.
* Gets a HistoricalVillainUpgrade as [[Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia England's]] boss/dictator in ''FanFic/AllHeEverWanted.''
* "[[Music/SuppersReady There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag, he used to be a British flag]]. [[Music/{{Genesis}} Plastic bag]], [[RhymingWithItself What a drag]]".
* ''Churchill: The Hollywood Years'' is an satire of HollywoodHistory were Winston Churchill is actually an American commando attempting to stop Hitler from marring into UsefulNotes/TheBritishRoyalFamily. The Churchill the world knows was just an actor called Ray Bubbles.
* ''The Young Winston'', a 1972 biopic of his younger days directed by Richard Attenborough.
* The RousingSpeech at the top of the page was sampled and placed in the beginning section of Music/{{Supertramp}}'s 1977 anti-war [[EpicRocking epic]], "Fool's Overture".
* In ''StewartLee's Comedy Roadshow'' one sketch focused around the fact that Churchill was in fact a pig. A trained pig whose mouth was controlled by remote control and the V-peace-sign was purely because with a cloven hooves there weren't many other type of gestations available. This sketch was curated by a "historian" called Creator/AlanMoore.
* A young Churchill comes to Toronto in ''Series/MurdochMysteries'' to give a lecture on his time in the Sudan during the Mahdist War and becomes the chief suspect in his best friend's murder. [[spoiler: It's not him, but a fanatical follower of the Mahdi who saw the friend take part in the descration of the Mahdi's tomb.]]
* Churchill is an unlockable character in VideoGame/MedalOfHonor's multiplayer mode using the code FINESTHOUR.
* Appears during the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Road to Germany". Turns out his wit is a little bit overblown by history.
-->'''Stewie:''' And look, there's Winston Churchill! Maybe we'll get an up-close look at his legendary wit.
-->'''British Woman:''' Oh, Winston. Drunk again, I see.
-->'''Winston:''' Yeah, well, you're a fat bitch.
-->'''Stewie:''' Hm. I guess history's just whittled it down to the gems.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' that shows the Warner siblings past exploits, he appears in a scene where the three protagonists show up at his meeting with FDR and Stalin, ltting them playfully jump on his stomach. [[BeenThereShapedHistory (And cinching the meeting.)]]
* He appears in his Secretary of State days in ''PeakyBlinders'', where it's revealed that he's overseeing Campbell's investigation of the BSA robbery personally, as they both believe it's tied to the IRA. [[FunnyMoments Hilariously enough]], Campbell's ''terrified'' of him. Later, at the end of Series 2, [[spoiler:it turns out that the Unionist paramilitaries Campbell had sent to "take care" of Tommy Shelby were actually Churchill's men, and were under orders to let Tommy go free. They weren't nice about it, though]].
* There is a duology of TV biopics made by Creator/TheBBC and {{Creator/HBO}}, released in 2002 and 2009: ''The Gathering Storm'' (named for the first chapter of his book), and ''Film/IntoTheStorm2009'' (named for one of his war-time speeches), the former talking about his "wilderness years" in political exile in the years before the Second War as the threat loomed on the horizon, and the later about his greatest moments in the war and through it. Churchill is portrayed by Creator/AlbertFinney in the first film and Brendan Gleeson in the second.
* He was voted the #1 "Greatest Briton" on ''Series/OneHundredGreatestBritons''.

I have a question regarding Sharepoint 2010 server licenses,
The site I'm trying to set up will be using formed based authentication and validating users through a database that will be running on SQL server, so no ActiveDirectory users.
I'm hoping to register 1 URL, and have users visit the site to get the public content, the site will also have a private section that you have to login to in order to access the private info (that's where the database above comes in to play).
Our question regarding licenses is that most models I've seen have 2 servers, 1 public, 1 private each with a different license, is it not possible to set up 1 server, have 2 sites on the server (1 public, 1 private) and in that scenario only use up one license?

We know everyone wants to hear about who Gerard Butler is holding hands with now, but sometimes we have to interrupt hand-holding news for very important pet news.
Monday afternoon, Butler's pug Lolita was attacked in New York City by a greyhound named Mayfly. According to The Ugly Truth star's rep (who also reps Lolita), the greyhound pounced on Lolita and bit her "so [Gerard] separated them to protect both dogs."
Then Mayfly's owners called the police, but by the time officers arrived on the scene, Gerry and Lolita had fled, so no citation was issued.
Detective Martin Speechley of the New York Police Department tells E! News a report for harassment was taken from the greyhound owners.
"One owner stated to the other owner that their dog should be on a leash," the detective explains, "and they were cussed out because of it."
According to TMZ, Butler would be the owner whose dog was not on the leash, although he put Lolita back on after the altercation.
Mayfly's owners also told the New York Post that Gerard "smacked their dog in the head," but his rep denies this.
Lolita "is recovering" says Butler's rep; Mayfly could not be reached for comment.
Now back to hand-holding with Jennifer Aniston.

The second reason is that TPA would open Colombia's markets to American goods. Colombia's economy is rising, and as it does its consumption power rises. This would provide U.S. farmers and manufacturers an opportunity to sell their goods in Colombia without having to pay the costs of prohibitive tariffs. Such an economic arrangement is always beneficial for American industry but is crucial during a downturn in our economy, when unemployment is on the rise. And it is curious in this regard that union leaders oppose the TPA because its non-implementation weakens the competitiveness of American manufacturing, including many union jobs. For example, as THE WALL STREET JOURNAL noted, Caterpillar Inc. has 8,600 jobs at its two factories in Illinois. It exports more products to Colombia and Peru than to Germany, Japan or the United Kingdom. The main reason for this is the extensive silver and coal mining industries in the two countries. For Caterpillar retaining and growing its share of the equipment market in Colombia is important, so the elimination of tariffs would immediately benefit the company.
The third reason to support the TPA is that Colombia has made much progress since the election of its current President, Álvaro Uribe, in 2002. Uribe, a Harvard-educated lawyer with a tremendous work ethic and disciplined lifestyle, drastically has improved Colombia. Prior to his presidency, Colombia had a reputation as a fearsome haven for drug lords and the narco-terrorism of the Marxist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN). Uribe used his widespread popularity to curb the power and influence of these two groups and to demobilize the paramilitaries operating in Colombia. He has helped clean up Medellín, the most violent city in Colombia and home to the Medellín Drug Cartel led by Pablo Escobar in the 1990s. In 2005 it had the lowest homicide rate, 35 per 100,000, it had had for 20 years and the lowest of any large city in Colombia. It was even lower than that of Baltimore. Unemployment has decreased as well and the City is now a thriving industrial center. Uribe deserves much credit for the way he has turned Colombia around.
Finally, Colombia is a friendly, democratic country that has made great improvements in the past six years. Its progress is in marked contrast to the regression of its neighbor Venezuela, which is under the control of Hugo Chávez, a hostile and brutal dictator. Chávez's goal is to destabilize the region to increase his own power. To that end, he has funneled money to Colombia's narco-terrorist groups. The United States has a responsibility to strength our economic and diplomatic ties with Colombia and the TPA would provide both a symbolic victory and an economic one.
It is a shame that Speaker Pelosi is playing politics with a vital trade agreement. The Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement should be passed immediately. It would be both an economic and a diplomatic disaster for the United States should Congress fail to ratify it. We can ill-afford such high-handed political maneuvers.

Usually somewhere they had a heavy truck drive over the curb, etc. For all turf, bermuda and fescue (what we have here) we always use 4" and install them at ground level and properly compact the soil underneath them before tightly packing the soil around them. We have never had any problem with the spray being obstructed by the turf if the turf is kept at a healthy height. We primarily use 12's for beds. very rarely use 6's.
I suspect Large mowers are the culprit on turf areas..guys nowadays are using bigger and bigger equipment despite the size of the lawn...we try and use 6 " as replacments any chance so if they get pushed down, it won't make as big an impact in tall turf....also, when the seal or spring fails, the nozzle might actually be stuck above turf making it easier to see and avoid for the mowers

Something I made for my boyfriend by elleboeWatch
©2013-2016 elleboe
Before I started on Bachelor Degree last month we were taught how to make an embroidery on a sewing machine. Not a machine that can make it by itself mind you!!! I used the needle as I would use a pencil. It took me 4 hours to make. The shirt was one of my boyfriend's that he allowed me to use if I made something cool for him. I saw this picture and knew that creature were destined to end up on his shirt. www.elfwood.com/~elinavm/Creat…
He LOVED the finished result.

Did you mean?Try your search again
Two young senior couples looking for a two day side trip from Montreal this summer. Like food, interesting place to visit, food, interesting, not touristy shopping, and food. Could stay in B&B, if recommended. Looking at Magog, Montebello, Tremblant, Brome-Missiquoi and Laurentides-St. Saveur.
Thoughts, please?
I'm planning of proposing to my girlfriend within the next month to two months and I need some help with some really nice places to propose at. I've heard of Mount royal and it looks like a really good spot. Are there any good hotels and restaurants around there? Also do they do horse drawn carriage rides up to the top? If anyone has any other ideas please let me know! Thank you!
Hi. We'll be going to Montreal and will go to Quebec for a side trip. Can you suggest a day trip itinerary in Quebec that's baby-friendly (will have a less than a year old baby with us). Will be visiting some time in May.
A good hotel and places to eat that's baby-friendly will be very much appreciated too.
Thanks in advance!
change of plans...instead of going to montreal first we're now going straight to quebec from philadelphia...
we're going there this May...
our plan is to allot 1 day travel time from philadelphia to quebec (and another day back) since we have a baby in tow and would involve a lot of stops... without stops, google maps says its 10 hours travel time
can anyone please suggest the must-visit places for both montreal and quebec? so far i have the following:
day 1: travel time from philadelphia to quebec (leave early morning)
day 2: tour quebec (old city - chatteau frontenac, any more?)
day 3: travel to montreal / tour montreal ( what to visit? )
day 4: travel time back to philadelphia
a good place to eat too and place to stay would be nice too..... nothing fancy because we'll be travelling with an infant...
again, we'll be visiting in May.
thanks in advance!

As someone who grew up with (and still loves) Punk Rock, I found John Roderick's recent article, 'Punk Rock is Bullshit,' to be pretty good. I didn't agree with all of it, but much of it did resonate with me.
i'm sorry, but i love rock more than anything... so i'm upset about that picture
