Find your grail, TRW customers, and give your audiences and performers the chance of a lifetime to experience one of the greatest Broadway musicals of the modern age. The Tony® Award Winning Best Musical, SPAMALOT! Click here to get started.
Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, SPAMALOT retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people. Did we mention the bevy of beautiful show girls?
The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony Awards, including "Best Musical," and received 14 Tony Award nominations.
Act I
The play begins with a historian giving a brief overview of medieval England. An idyllic Scandinavian village appears, with gaily dressed Finnish villagers singing and dancing to the "Fisch Schlapping Song." The Historian returns, irritated, and tells them he said "England", not Finland. The villagers disperse and the pastoral forest is immediately replaced by a dreary, dark village with penitent monks in hooded robes chanting Latin prayers and hitting themselves in the face with wooden boards. King Arthur travels the land with his servant Patsy ("King Arthur's Song"), trying to recruit Knights of the Round Table to join him in Camelot and his quest for the Holy Grail. He encounters various strange people, including a pair of sentries who are more interested in debating whether two swallows could successfully carry a coconut than in guarding their castles. Sir Robin and Sir Lancelot meet as they attempt to dispose of the sickly Not Dead Fred ("He Is Not Dead Yet"). They agree to become Knights of the Round Table together.
Meanwhile, Arthur attempts to convince a peasant named Dennis Galahad that he (Arthur) is king of England because the Lady of the Lake gave him Excalibur, the sword given only to the man fit to rule England. However, Dennis and his mother, Mrs. Galahad, are political radicals and deny that any king who has not been elected by the people has any legitimate right to rule over them. To settle the issue, Arthur has the Lady of the Lake and her Laker Girls appear to turn Dennis into a knight ("Come With Me"). Cheered on by the girls ("Laker Girls Cheer"), the Lady of the Lake turns Dennis into Sir Galahad and together, they sing a generic Broadway love song ("The Song That Goes Like This"). Together, with Sir Bedevere and Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Show (a knight resembling Don Quixote who promptly apologizes and then leaves), they make up the Knights of the Round Table ("All for One").
The five knights gather in Camelot, a deliberately anachronistic place resembling Las Vegas's Camelot-inspired Excalibur resort, complete with showgirls and oversized dice ("Knights of the Round Table" / "The Song That Goes Like This (Reprise)"). In the midst of their revelry, they are contacted by God (voiced by John Cleese) who tells them to locate the Holy Grail. Urged on by the Lady of the Lake ("Find Your Grail"), the Knights set off. They are viciously taunted by lewd French soldiers at a castle they come to, and attempt to retaliate by sending them a large wooden rabbit in the style of the Trojan Horse; however, they realize after the fact that it was not as simple as leaving the rabbit and walking away - they were supposed to be inside of it. Defeated, they leave in a hurry when the French begin throwing various barnyard animals - including cows - at them ("Run Away").
Act II
Sir Robin and his minstrels follow King Arthur and Patsy into a "dark and very expensive forest" where they are separated. King Arthur meets the Knights who say Ni, who demand a shrubbery. King Arthur despairs of finding one, but Patsy cheers him up ("Always Look on the Bright Side of Life") and they find a shrubbery shortly after. The Knights accept it, but next demand that King Arthur put on a musical and bring it to Broadway.
The Black Knight appears but King Arthur more or less defeats him by cutting off both his arms and legs, impaling his still-alive torso on a door, and leaving to find Sir Robin. Sir Robin, after wandering the forest for some time ("Brave Sir Robin"), finds King Arthur and insists that it would be impossible for them to accomplish this next task ("You Won't Succeed on Broadway"). King Arthur and Patsy promptly set off in search of Jews. While the Lady of the Lake laments her lack of stage time ("The Diva's Lament"), Sir Lancelot receives a letter from what he assumes is a young damsel in distress. He is a little surprised to find that the damsel is actually an effeminate young man named Herbert ("Where Are You?" / "Here Are You") whose overbearing, music-hating father, the king, is forcing him into an arranged marriage. Lancelot advocates for Herbert after the king returns, and Lancelot is outed as a homosexual in the process ("His Name Is Lancelot").
King Arthur begins to give up hope of ever putting on the Broadway musical and laments that he is alone, even though Patsy has been with him the entire time ("I'm All Alone"). The Lady of the Lake appears and tells Arthur that he and the Knights have been in a Broadway musical all along. All that's left is for King Arthur to find the Grail and marry someone. After picking up on some not-too-subtle hints, Arthur decides to marry the Lady of the Lake after he finds the Grail ("Twice In Every Show").
Reunited with his Knights, Arthur meets Tim the Enchanter who warns them of the danger of an evil rabbit. When the rabbit bites a knight's head off, Arthur uses the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch against it, knocking down a nearby hill and revealing that the "evil rabbit" was actually a puppet controlled by a surprised puppeteer. A large stone block showing a combination of letters and numbers is also revealed. After pondering the final clue, Arthur admits that they're "a bit stumped with the clue thing" and asks God to "give them a hand". The grail is "found"; Arthur marries the Lady of the Lake (who reveals that her name is Guinevere); Lancelot marries Herbert; and Sir Robin decides to pursue a career in musical theatre ("Act 2 Finale/ Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (Company Bow)").
Monty Python's SPAMALOT
Book & Lyrics by ERIC IDLE
Music by JOHN DU PREZ & ERIC IDLE
A new musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
From the original screenplay by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin
Original Broadway Production produced by Boyett Ostar Productions,The Shubert Organization, Arielle Tepper Madover, Stephanie McClelland/Lawrence Horowitz,
Elan V McAllister/Allan S. Gordon, Independent Presenters Network, Roy Furman, GRS Associates, Jam Theatricals, TGA Entertainment, and Clear Channel Entertainment
Following is the Broadway doubling scenario. Scroll down to see great casting tips to create more female roles and more ensemble roles.
KING ARTHUR (Late 30s-60s.): The King of England who sets out on a quest to form the Knights of the Roundtable and find the Holy Grail. Great Humor. Good singer.
SIR ROBIN (30s-40s): A Knight of the Roundtable. Ironically called 'Sir Robin the Brave,' though he couldn't be more cowardly. Joins the Knights for the singing and dancing. Also plays GUARD 1 and BROTHER MAYNARD, a long-winded monk.
SIR LANCELOT (30s-40): A Knight of the Roundtable. He is fearless to a bloody fault but through a twist of fate, does discover his 'softer side.' This actor MUST be great with character voices and accents, as he also plays THE FRENCH TAUNTER, an arrogant, condescending, over-the-top Frenchman, the KNIGHT OF NI, an absurd, cartoonish leader of a peculiar group of Knights, and TIM THE ENCHANTER, a ghostly being with a Scottish accent.
PATSY (30s-40s): King Arthur's horse and servant. Underappreciated but always longing for King Arthur's approval. Good, funny, physical mover with some tap dancing. Also plays MAYOR, a jolly red-faced man who advertises the merits of his home town and the drunken, useless GUARD 2.
SIR GALAHAD (30s): A Knight of the Roundtable. Begins as Dennis, a lower class 'mud gatherer' who becomes Knighted and transforms into the dashing Sir Galahad. Also plays PRINCE HERBERT'S FATHER, a wealthy, brutish Yorkshireman man at odds with his sensitive son, THE BLACK KNIGHT who is always ready to duel despite multiple injuries. Strong bari-tenor singing required.
SIR BEDEVERE (20s-40s): A Knight of the Roundtable. An inept scholar. Also plays DENNIS GALAHAD'S MOTHER, a shrill peasant woman, and CONCORDE, Sir Lancelot's horse. No solo singing.
THE LADY OF THE LAKE (20s-30s):A Diva. Strong, beautiful, possesses mystical powers. The leading lady of the show. Great singing voice is essential, as she must be able to sing effortlessly in many styles and vocal registers. Especially seeking actresses of all races for this role.
THE FOLLOWING ROLES ARE PLAYED BY THE SAME ACTOR (20s-30s): Tenor singing required. Very good mover.
HISTORIAN: A tweedy academic.
NOT DEAD FRED: A sickly little fellow who, despite others' beliefs, claims he is "not yet dead."
FRENCH GUARD: The condemnatory French sidekick to the French Taunter.
MINSTREL: In Sir Robin's band.
PRINCE HERBERT: The hopeful and frilly prince who loves to sing and pines for his love atop a tower.
SIR NOT APPEARING may double as THE DANCING MONK
A MALE DANCER appears as THE DANCING NUN
THE VOICE OF GOD may be pre-recorded.
TWO FRENCH GUARDS are two of the MALE ENSEMBLE
ROBIN'S MINSTRELS are also ENSEMBLE: 2 MEN, 1 WOMAN.
SIR BORS is MALE ENSEMBLE.
ENSEMBLE: Six men and six women
Above you can see THE LADY OF THE LAKE, her LAKER GIRLS, and the five chorus/ensemble numbers that already involve female cast members. Here are some suggestions for characters that female cast members can play with great success or use these characters to create more featured roles for your ensemble:

**The orchestration for the licensed version of MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT contains a reduction of the Broadway string parts which are played by Keyboard 2 and Keyboard 3. If you choose to order the Broadway String Packet for your performance, you can either use the live strings as a replacement for the KEYBOARD 3 part or alongside it to enhance the string sound in your orchestra. However, should you choose to use the strings as a replacement for Keyboard 3, be aware that Keyboard 2 remains essential.
In addition, please be advised that the Broadway String Packet is an additional item and therefore, the Piano/Conductor book contains cues for the Keyboard 2 and Keyboard 3 parts, but not for the individual string parts.

A Resource for High School Productions
I. More Female Roles:
The most frequently asked question is, "How can I use more female actors in SPAMALOT?"
Besides THE LADY OF THE LAKE, her LAKER GIRLS, and the five chorus/ensemble numbers that already involve female cast members, here are some additional suggestions for expanding the use of female cast members.
The following roles might also be played by women (as women or as women playing men):
II. The Voice of GOD:
With each license agreement to produce SPAMALOT, you will receive a "Production CD" that will contain a set of logos as well as Eric Idle's pre-show announcement and his "Voice of GOD" audio tracks. So when listing the cast in your program you can write:
GOD………………………………Eric Idle
III. Props:
A complete prop list can be also found on this page if you click the green "Resources" button.
IV. Projections:
You should be aware that Eric Idle feels that the projections are not necessary for the production. However, Eric said, "If anyone wants to create their own, that's fine."
V. The Cow:
If launching a cow over the wall becomes problematic, a number of rubber chickens "catapulted" over the wall might also work. If a source to purchase an inflatable cow can be found, that information will be posted on the SPAMALOT "Resources" page on the TRW website.
VI. The BLACK KNIGHT:
In the BLACK KNIGHT scene, you could end it after his arms have been removed without having to come up with a complicated way to remove the legs. A few costume companies are looking onto creating a BLACK KNIGHT costume that can be rented. As soon as one becomes available the rental information will be posted on the SPAMALOT "Resources" page on the TRW website.
The following are answers to specific questions in the script:
Act One
p. 1 – HISTORIAN – in lieu of projections, an easel and illustration board could be used by the HISTORIAN.
Song #2 – "Fisch Schlapping Song" – Bright clothing and dancing with fish alone should be enough to show 'Finland' without the need for scenery.
p. 6 – ROBIN can say – 'Bug off'
p. 9 – You may say 'dung'
Song #6 – "The Lady of the Lake" – If trap doors are not available or another elaborate onstage entrance, the LADY OF THE LAKE and her LAKER GIRLS might enter from the back of the house.
p. 25 – If necessary you can cut the FROG bit as well as the lettering on girl's panties.
p. 26 – You do not have to have a chandelier. A similar effect could be done with a lighting special.
p. 35 – THE LADY OF THE LAKE does not have to do a strip tease. What is important is that she is preparing for her Diva moment.
p. 37 – If spelling "CAMLTOE" presents a problem, the following anagrams are also acceptable: CLAM TOE, CALM TOE, ACME LOT, CAT MOLE (or create your own)
In Scene 8, budgets (or a lack of fly space) may restrict the ability to lower a 'wheel of fortune' table. Lighting, costumes, and props should be able to demonstrate the Las Vegas style of Camelot without the game wheel. If there is no wheel, you can cut the line 'we won!' Colorful plumes, twinkling lights, light shows, etc. will give it the over the top look.
p. 38 – The Feet of God are not necessary. GOD'S offstage voice with reverb and light special should be enough.
p. 38 – You may replace (or mute) the word 'pissing,' and if absolutely necessary, drop the line "And stop looking up my skirt."
p. 39 – If you are not using projections, The Grail could be dropped in on fly bar, or THE HISTORIAN could display another illustration of The Grail.
p. 39 – You may change to 'I'm God, you stupid twit!' You may also cut the word 'Jesus!'
p. 39 – Instead of a NASA liftoff for GOD, a sound effect or nothing at all will be fine.
Song #14 – "Find Your Grail" – You can create a few more female soloists by breaking up the LADY OF THE LAKE's solo between the LADY OF THE LAKE and a few LAKER GIRL soloists. Another option is two create a new female role, ANGEL, who appears as a messenger from GOD to sing this song, thus creating an additional major female solo.
p. 42 – The "cut out mountain" can be very simple and small. But depending upon the size of your stage and availability of steps, they can also walk down off the stage and across the audience.
p. 44 – Instead of a painted cyclorama or any elaborate scenery, have one character from each country visited (in traditional costume) hold up a welcome sign (i.e. "Welcome to China" "Egypt Welcomes You"… ) as the knights pass quickly SR to SL and back again (new country/character each pass). If costumes are a problem, you might consider adding Finland (to reuse a costume from the Fisch Schlapping Song).
p. 45 – You may cut the line by the Taunter, 'The French B...'.
p. 46 – You may cut the line by the Taunter, 'I wave my private parts at your aunties'. You may also replace, "I fart in your general direction!" with, "I flatulate in your general direction." With an "outrageous" French accent, it is just as funny.
p. 47 – You may use the word 'heck'
p. 49 – To save on costumes, you can adapt the "French people" entering to look at wooden rabbit. But it would be better to simplify it rather than cut it. It's a great bit – especially Eponine from Les Miz and the mime.
p. 50 – You may replace the cow with rubber chickens or something else safer/easier to throw. A few directors are looking for inflatable cows. If one is found, we will place it on our website.
p. 52 – Before Intermission - as mentioned earlier, the projections are not necessary
Act Two
p. 54 – If the budget doesn't allow a forest, it could be funny to have just one tree placed onstage to suggest the forest. A large price tag on the tree instead of the projection of dollar signs ($$) would be fine.
p. 55 – You may use the word 'heck'.
Song #18 – "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" – You may use the lyric, 'Life's a piece of dung, though you've just begun…'
Song #19 – "Brave Sir Robin" – If necessary you may cut the third verse ('His head smashed in and his heart….'), ending after verse two.
After ROBIN sees the BLACK KNIGHT and runs off, you can also end verse 4 with "Who soiled his pants and then ran away…".
p. 63 – You may change ARTHUR'S line 'Look, you stupid knight….'
p. 64 – You may change BLACK KNIGHTS line to 'It's just a flesh wound. You yellow belly! I'll bite your legs off! You're a lily livered upper class twit.'
p. 66 – You may stop song after first line 'He was running away and chickening out,' and cut 'and buggering off...'
Song #20 – "You Won't Succeed on Broadway" – If this song presents a problem in your community, an alternate version "You Won't Succeed in Showbiz," is included in all of the production materials. However, it has been our experience that the original version works better whenever possible.
p. 87 – You may cut 'you bast...' from Lance's line.
Song #24 – "His Name Is Lancelot" – This song can be toned down a bit if necessary. The codpiece and banana are not necessary. Use your own creative staging and have fun with it.
p. 90 – If you decide to use "You Won't Succeed in Showbiz" instead of "You Won't Succeed on Broadway," you will notice that script changes are included that deal with no longer looking for Jews.
p. 92 – In song #25, "I'm All Alone," PATSY's lyrics can be changed to "Oh, no, you're not…I'm all you've got."
p. 96 – TIM does not have to fly at all. If TIM was sitting on top of a visible 6' ladder on a rolling cart, the line "What manner of man are you that hovers in the air without strings or visible supporting device?" is just as funny.
p. 98 – You may change ROBIN's line to "You twit!"
p. 99 – You may replace "Jesus Christ" with "Blimey" or another acceptable expletive.
p. 101 – If necessary, you may cut after the line, "And now the Congregation shall rise and sing Hymn 101…" with ARTHUR cutting MAYNARD off saying, "There's no time for that……"
p. 101 – If your Theatre uses General Admission seating instead of numbered seating, you will have to use one of the alternatives that follow:
p. 105 – You may change to "Holy cow".
p. 110 – The confetti cannon is not necessary. This scene can be staged much less extravagantly.
Arthur tosses the Holy Hand Grenade and the Rabbit blows up, and the mound falls over revealing the letters DC. Behind is a disgruntled rabbit puppet operator, blackened with soot.
BEDEVERE: Behold, sire, the clue. DC!
ARTHUR: DC? That's a bit cryptic isn't it?
BEDEVERE: Perhaps it's a location – Washington DC!
LANCELOT: Like in that Nicholas Cage film!
ARTHUR: GOD can't expect us to travel to Washington DC right now!
LANCELOT: We could take Amtrak and be back in no time
BEDEVERE: I'm sure these good people won't mind waiting a bit.
ARTHUR: We didn't travel this far to get on a train!
GALAHAD: Could DC mean "Direct Current"… AC/DC?
ARTHUR: Oh that's good.
BEDEVERE: But sire, maybe it is a location after all – a stage location.
ARTHUR: I suppose it could be. But where, exactly?
BEDEVERE: Well we would need to find something Down Center
ARTHUR: DC, Down Center.
They are staring straight into the audience.
GALAHAD: It's probably right under our feet.
ARTHUR: (Prays) O Lord we are a bit stumped on the clue thing and we beseech thee to give us a hand.
An enormous hand of God appears, and points into the audience.
ARTHUR: Of course. It is in the audience- Front Row - Center!
Arthur tosses the Holy Hand Grenade and the Rabbit blows up, and the mound falls over revealing the letters CURT-C. Behind is a disgruntled rabbit puppet operator, blackened with soot.
BEDEVERE: Behold, sire, the clue. CURT-C!
ARTHUR: CURT-C? That's a bit cryptic isn't it?
BEDEVERE: Perhaps it's a command! We must curtsy to find the grail.
LANCELOT: Oooh! I'll show you how it's done.
ARTHUR: I do not believe GOD ALMIGHTY is asking us to curtsy!
LANCELOT: What else could it be sir?
BEDEVERE: Perhaps he was dying dramatically and he wrote "Curtains!"
ARTHUR: Well he'd hardly bother to carve that in the rock.
GALAHAD: Could it be something near the curtains?
ARTHUR: Oh that's good.
BEDEVERE: Sire, maybe it could be a location.
ARTHUR: Well it could be but how would that help?
BEDEVERE: Well we would need to find something at the center of the Curtain.
They are staring straight into the audience.
GALAHAD: It's probably right under our feet.
ARTHUR: (Prays) O Lord we are a bit stumped on the clue thing and we beseech thee to give us a hand.
An enormous hand of God appears, and points into the audience.
ARTHUR: Of course. It is in the audience- Front Row - Center!

Darkness and Light Lunar Eclipse Coincides with Winter Solstice -BYLN-
Some heavenly holiday happenings are coming our way, so drop the shopping and take heed.
Not one, but two astronomical events will take place in one calendar day, Tuesday, Dec. 21. How cool is that?
Pretty cool, according to astronomy buffs. Although the juxtaposition of the two is, scientifically speaking, coincidental, there will be much to-do about these all-in-one-day events.
The winter solstice, celebrated the world over as the turning point in winter when the days begin to grow longer ever so slightly, will occur at 5:38 p.m. Tuesday.
Not to be one-upped by the sun, however, the moon will also get into the act this year. In the wee hours of winter solstice morn, the moon will do its disappearing act, known as a total lunar eclipse.
The two phenomena had very different meanings before scientific understanding of the events. The winter solstice was a time of celebration and hope, renewal and rebirth. In stark contrast, the total eclipse was a source of great fear and superstition.
Let's take a look at each to understand the historical, scientific and modern interpretations of the two events.
The lunar eclipse will occur first on Tuesday, just around midnight. During a lunar eclipse, the moon slips into the earth's shadow, or penumbra. To the ancients, the disappearance of a full moon was confounding, puzzling, worrisome and downright scary.
In many cultures, a total lunar eclipse was an "omen, (an) astrological portent, and a the outcome of diabolical magic," wrote Richard Carrier in "Cultural History of the Lunar and Solar Eclipse in the Early Roman Empire."
In our scientifically informed times, we now know that there is nothing diabolical, magical or portentous about a total eclipse. The phenomenon occurs frequently and most of us modern folks think it's pretty awesome.
"An eclipse is an unforgettable sight," said Jim Griffin of the Kane County Astronomical Society.
You can see for yourself, starting at 11:55 p.m. today. Bundle up, step out and look moonward at midnight. As you stand out there in the cold, stomping
your feet to keep warm, take note of a shadow forming on the moon. See how it's curved? By golly, you've just discovered for yourself that the world is indeed round and not flat.
If you wait and watch a little longer, you'll see the moon slowly slide farther into the shadow and by 12:30 a.m. or so it will begin to enter the inner shadow, or umbra. It will be totally eclipsed by the earth's shadow by 1:41 a.m.
"It's a great spectacle," said KCAS astronomer Jack Kramer.
Part of the spectacle is the color morph of the moon. Depending on the degree of pollution in the atmosphere, the lunar eclipse may appear grayish, or it can emanate an eerie red, bright orange or yellow. The deeper the moon is in the umbra, the more intense the color. …

WikiLeaks or WikiYawn?
Is this the Second Coming of the Pentagon Papers? Will the WikiLeaks deluge of documents mark a turning point in the Afghan war?
"Massive leak of secret files exposes truth of occupation", proclaims a headline in the Guardian. John Kerry says they raise significant questions about the conflict. The iconic Daniel Ellsberg himself says he was "very impressed by the release." Pundits have been focusing on various elements that are mentioned in the papers, such as civilian deaths from American fire, Pakistan's covert support of the Taliban even while they're supposed to be fighting them, and the existence of an American special operations group to hunt down Taliban leaders.
Yet when even Mother Jones says the Wikileaks papers are no big deal, then perhaps there's more smoke than fire here. The best commentary so far comes from counterinsurgency scholar Andrew Exum, whose reaction can be summed as: Dead civilians? Pakistani double-cross? Taliban leaders on a hit list? No kidding? What rock have you been living under?
The Pentagon Papers were a bombshell because they showed that the American government lied when it claimed to want peace in Southeast Asia, even as it escalated the Vietnam war. The snippets I've seen of the Afghanistan documents so far aren't bombshells. They're routine reports from American soldiers in the field. They mostly say that "we handed out goodies to the civilians. They still don't like us. Our Afghan allies are a bunch of boobs." These are not revelations to those who have been following the conflict. And those who don't follow the war, which includes the majority of the American public, will not be galvanized. Dry bureaucratic reports don't have the same impact as a video of helicopters strafing Iraqis.
If there is any good to come out of the Afghan and Iraq wars, it's that any romantic illusions that war is precise and high-tech have been shredded. After nearly 10 years of fighting, we know that civilians die in war.
Unfortunately we have also become anesthetized to this. An after-action report of a botched commando raid that killed civilians isn't gong to provoke mass protest. And perhaps it shouldn't, because all wars have their share of stupidity and futility, which are usually documented somewhere in the vast military machine. The difference is that they are being revealed now by WikiLeaks instead of by some historian digging through archives 40 years later.
The WikiLeaks documents will provide ammunition for those who want us out of Afghanistan now. But the ammunition will mostly be blank, because Obama has laid down his Afghanistan policy, and like Johnson and Nixon, he will be reluctant to back out of it. So we will snort and snarl at the Wikileaks Papers. And the war will go on.

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. (90) I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, bluegrass, and civic events. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

Veterans Day at the VFW Post.
The Post had a great observation of Veterans Day, due in large part to the hard work of JD Harper. Must have been 300 in attendance. There were speeches, music, the firing of a gatling gun, and burgers and dogs.

HILLSBORO, Ore. (AP) — The Washington County sheriff's office says a deputy was injured in a fight with a fleeing suspect who resisted arrest.
The suspect also was injured Tuesday and both were treated at a hospital.
It began when deputies chased a stolen pickup truck, which crashed into a ditch at Aloha. The driver ran through several back yards until he was caught. He refused to surrender peacefully. A sheriff's corporal was injured in the fight.
The suspect, a 25-year-old Scappoose man, was jailed on charges that include reckless driving and resisting arrest.

It is all rather complicated! I wish they'd just include it in the price of the room or get rid of it. I wouldn't choose to buy it myself as I don't drink much soda
I have to admit that on a short stay I probably would not get my money's worth. But I drink coffee every morning, sometimes two cups. I don't drink that much soda.

Current business models and mentalities are rooted in the post-industrial era. They have helped drive maximisation and scale, founded on a take, make, waste philosophy. Post-industrial models view business as a machine where assets (human, natural or manufactured) are sweated with economies of scale, bringing increased profits through reduced production costs. Functions are separated into different departments forming silos; separating the whole into disparate units to aid maximisation and cost reduction. Top-down command-and-control hierarchies enable effective management of the units. This atomisation, while bringing economies of scale, can erode the benefits of economies of scope: interlinking relationships, open resource and information flows that facilitate improvements in innovation, collaboration and resilience. Relationships are the lifeblood of business and yet economies of scale, unbalanced by economies of scope, can degrade the inter- and intra-relations essential within and across organisational boundaries. Post-industrial business thinking has led to organisations often being treated as lifeless hierarchic machines made up of building blocks that can be rationalised, measured and monitored for improved efficiency and effectiveness.

GMP may boost power at LowellFebruary 16,2013
JAY — Green Mountain Power wants permission to install equipment that will boost the amount of electricity that its turbines in the Lowell Mountain wind project can put out in the New England grid.
The Caledonian-Record reported that Lowell wind operators noticed Tuesday that three of the 21 turbines were not producing electricity. They said capacity has been curtailed by ISO-New England, which runs the New England grid.
That was a concern of the head of the governor's Energy Generation Siting Policy Commission, which was on a tour of the wind project Tuesday.
Green Mountain Power is asking the Vermont Public Service Board to approve its plan.

Before you can get to downtown Franklin to see newly restored storefronts and visit new shops, you have to pass by homes that haven't been maintained or abandoned buildings that are falling apart.
Now city officials, local business owners and residents want to start seeing improvements outside the downtown area and get homes along the routes into downtown fixed up, too. A local organization created by the city and funded with tax dollars could take on that responsibility and could begin purchasing rundown homes and hire their own contractor to fix them up and resell.
The Franklin Development Corp. has spent nearly all of the original $5 million in tax dollars given to it by the city. This spring, the board has been asking community members and local officials what they think the city's problems are and how the organization can help solve them.
Up to this point, the organization has offered low-interest loans to homeowners and business owners, as well as grants to businesses that wanted to repair their building facades. The organization has given low-interest loans to 22 homeowners, totaling about $544,000. But former Mayor Fred Paris, Scott Brown of Brown Remodeling and city community development specialist Rhoni Oliver suggested the organization might have to offer more, such as grants that don't have to be paid back or the take on projects itself.
Most of the taxpayer money given to the group — or about $4.3 million — was spent paying for improvements to downtown businesses and other projects, such as helping Ivy Tech buy land for a future expansion. Of that $5 million the organization started with in 2008, less than $200,000 has not been promised to current projects. The organization will need to ask the city redevelopment commission for more money from the city's tax-increment financing, or TIF, districts in order to fund more projects.
Board members want to create new goals and programs based on the needs they've heard from the community, and fixing up homes has been one of the top concerns that's surfaced, board member Lisa Fears said. The Franklin Development Corp., as a nonprofit organization, is better suited to work on residential projects than the city's redevelopment commission, which has more restrictions on what projects it can fund with tax dollars, Fears said.
The feedback the organization has gathered, such as in the recent public meetings, will be used by board members to set new goals. But due to the amount of people wanting to see more homes fixed up, it will likely become a new priority for the board, Fears said. Then in the future the board could compile a list of residential projects and ask the redevelopment commission to provide funding.
"We need to focus on our distressed residential properties in our gateways and downtown corridors," Fears said.
A person who lives in their home but can't fix broken shutters, chipping paint and broken shingles likely doesn't make the fixes because they can't afford to, which means they can't pay back a loan either, Brown said. A landlord who owns a house that's been turned into multi-unit apartments likely won't invest $80,000 to fix up a building that is only worth $100,000 unless the city can help, he said. If the organization provided a 50 percent grant or even higher, that would help generate interest from property owners or investors who might be considering buying a property to renovate, he said.
"These people are not going to borrow the majority of the cost to restore it, because they're not going to get that return on investment," Brown said.
The organization could also focus on buying abandoned properties, paying a contractor to renovate them and then sell the homes for a profit, said Paris, who was mayor when the Franklin Development Corp. was founded. That kind of project was something that was originally proposed when the organization was formed, but no projects like that were done. Selling improved homes could also help the organization generate revenue, which would allow it to pay for operating costs and future projects without having to rely on city tax dollars, which is another future goal of the organization, Paris said.
If the organization was interested in buying and repairing homes, Oliver said she could think of at least 10 possible properties. Oliver runs the city's unsafe building program, where the city can order a property owner to either repair or demolish a rundown building.
Those homes are often abandoned or have financial issues, such as mortgages, liens or overdue taxes, that make the homes difficult to sell, Oliver said. The Franklin Development Corp. could buy those properties in the county tax sale and then either immediately sell it or repair the house and then sell, which is something the city board of works or redevelopment commission can't do.
For example, the Franklin Development Corp. purchased four homes south of downtown that were damaged in the 2008 flood. The city hadn't been able to buy them because the owners either couldn't be located or the properties had outstanding mortgages and other debts.
New residential improvement projects could start along corridors leading into the downtown including Jefferson and King streets and North and South Main streets. The organization could begin expanding out from the area around the courthouse to fix homes on nearby streets such as Madison, Jackson, Water and Monroe streets, Fears said. Franklin approved its new 10-year plan last year, which pinpointed residential areas west of downtown on Jefferson Street and in the older neighborhoods north of Jefferson Street where housing that needs improvement.
Buying those properties could help save a historic home, generate new taxes if a new owner buys it and also encourage other nearby property owners to keep up maintenance on their houses, Fears said.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Article: [Estimation of burn injuries.][Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Estimation of acute burn injuries is known to be difficult, but a thorough and precise evaluation is essential in order to initiate relevant treatment. The initial estimation relates to the size, depth and localisation of the injury as well as a number of concomitant factors. This article reviews the literature concerning the initial evaluation of burns and highlights the areas, which most often cause difficulties. The initial treatment and the types of burn injuries needing referral to specialist care are summarized.

Article: Optimization of burn referrals[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Correct estimation of the severity of burns is important to obtain the right treatment of the patient and to avoid over- and undertriage. In this study we aimed to assess how often the guidelines for referral of burn injured patients are met at the national burn centre (NBC), Denmark. We included burn patients referred to the NBC in a three-months period. Patient records were systematically analyzed and compared with the national guidelines for referral of burn injured patients. A total of 97 burn injured patients were transferred for treatment at the NBC and the most common reason for referral was partial thickness burn exceeding 3% estimated area of burn (55% of the patients) while facial burns (32%) and inhalational injury (25%) were other common reasons. We found that 29 (30%) of the referrals were considered potentially unnecessary according to the guidelines. The overtriage was highest among patients suffering of burns due to scalding and these were mostly children below 2 years of age. An overtriage of referred burn injured patient was found and 30% of the referred patients were treated as outpatients. A telemedicine solution may be useful in the evaluation of burn injured patients before transfer.

Rhydwen Williams
Life was hard enough in the Rhondda Fawr and Rhondda Fach throughout the 1920s, as the civilized world, and the uncivilized, came to know full well. Unemployment became the pattern of men's lives, and the despair of those years was plain for all to see in the listless eyes and colourless checks, and quite a few slashed throats up on the mountainside. And there was hardly a Christmas, despite the ringing bells and steaming puddings and the stockings tied to bedposts like the wares of Johnny Onions, 1 come over to Llwyn-y-pia from Brittany, that didn't mock a small child's dreams and expectations.
For all that, I can't say that I ever failed to enjoy any of the Christmases in that far-distant childhood of mine, nor that I had to go without anything. Of course, neither my nose nor my senses had been trained to expect any special kind of luxury or delicacy, and I almost always had everything that was within the compass of my taste and desires.
The fact that I was brought up within a kitchen's snug walls was responsible, I'm sure, for the contentment I felt at the simplicity of the fare and fun. The word 'snugness' has a very special meaning for anyone who was familiar with the shelter provided by a collier's kitchen in days gone by — the special warmth from a coal-fire, a grate full of red-hot cheerfulness, when the dozing cats purred like a choir in four parts and the kettle whistled as merrily as a row of sailors just landed on a quayside.
On Christmas morning, like any other morning, one of the homeliest features of that long-ago snugness was the large frying-pan hissing fat as it prepared the bacon and eggs for us. The festive meat — whether pork, chicken, turkey or goose — could scarcely have tasted better between a child's teeth, and the bacon and eggs far excelled any slice of bread with honey on it.
Those things we tasted in our early years were probably the nearest we ever came to a culinary thrill, something between palate and tooth, a sensitivity of the stomach, that a man never quite loses for the rest of his life. I don't want to suggest for a moment that such sensitivity was uppermost in the life of child or grown man in those days, that wouldn't be true by a long chalk, for a growing child and

Tough hole, but maybe the most picturesque in the history of golf.
Little wind, but always a threat of tricky gusts. No trees. Possible nosebleed. The only rough was the shot itself. Not since Alan Shepard sliced a few on the moon had we seen anything like it. A David Letterman stunt, perhaps.
"Cinderella boy, Briny Baird. I think he's going to use about a 9-iron. It's – it's in the bull's-eye, about six feet from the hole – close enough for everyone in America to get a free P.F. Chang's signature chicken lettuce wrap!"
Not that the 9-iron was Baird's first choice (he needed advice from an amateur golfer/Petco expert, but we'll get to that in a moment after we attempt to explain this.) Safe to say, the Padres had the day off, not that there would have been a danger of hitting a base runner or anything.
First of all, with a nickname like Briny, one would have expected the PGA Tour golfer to take out his big club and try to launch one into the harbor. But Michael Jancey Baird, son of Butch, who once went 15 years between Tour wins (two more than his offspring currently has earned), was in town for charity work – of a rather unusual nature.
P.F. Chang's sponsored the event, the proceeds going to the San Diego Navy/ Marine Corps Relief Society. Here's how it worked. If Baird hit the center of the bull's-eye with any of his 10 tries, Americans were to receive a free wrap (with entree order) and the society would gather $2,000. The inner ring meant $1,000 per ball, the outer ring $500 per ball.
Well, Baird hit into the center circle twice and scored on eight of his 10 shots, meaning he earned $17,500 for charity. The restaurant chain upped it to $25,000.
Practicing with Baird before the real thing was Padres General Manager Kevin Towers, who put a couple of shots real close. Maybe because he was using the right club. Baird started with a 5-iron, but the GM set him straight.
"I told him, '5-iron? Dude, you hit a 5, you're going to put it into the condos,' " Towers confirmed. "I didn't know golfers were more coachable than baseball players."
Conceding Towers' familiarity with the ballpark and the fact the GM isn't bad with a club in his hands, Baird went to his 9-iron, and made history that would have choked up Bobby Jones.
"I warmed up with the 5-iron and Kevin looked at me like I was crazy," Baird would say. "He was right. It was just a little 9-iron."
Little? It took about 15 seconds for each ball to come to earth. These had to be the longest 9-irons ever.
Really, now, Baird doesn't go hitting golf balls off of rooftops every day. He was up there playing for charity, but he also had a reputation to uphold. It's not like he could practice it for a few weeks.
"You can't," Baird said. "This exceeded my expectations. With this many people on top of a roof, you don't want to make a fool of yourself. My expectations were high, but their expectations were higher."
He could have been forgiven. From the rooftop, that bull's-eye appeared to be in National City. Spotting the balls before they landed may have been possible – if you were the Man of Steel.

9 sts + 12 rows = 4 in.[10 cm] in Stockinette st (k on RS, p on WS) with two strands held tog. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch

Five Deez is a crew that delivers hip hop from a different angle. While retaining the crew concept, Five Deez is powered by Fat Jon's hybrid of deep house meets jazzy hip hop vibes. With two releases under their belt (the voracious debut KoolMotor and the solid follow up Kinkynasti) Five Deez hit you once again with another offering of hip hop from a different angle with their third album Kommunicator.
With the crew spreading outside of Cincinnati (now in Berlin, NY and the Natti), Five Deez doesn't lose a step in retaining their signature vibe. The obvious force behind the albums is the criminally underappreciated production of Cincy to Berlin transplant Fat Jon. His production is simply breathtaking. For those who haven't found their way onto the Fat Jon bandwagon, Kommunicator is yet another chance to get familiar with their distinctive sound. In other words: Stop sleeping! Joints such as the aquatic soul filled "Black Rushmore" and the flat out retarded instrumental "Fifth Degree" (the best example of the Five Deez sound) exemplify Jon's underrated production.
The chemistry follows closely in the footsteps of Koolmotor and Kinkynasti, with Kommunicator falling just short of Koolmotor, yet delivering better than Kinkynasti could. The Deez come correct on the amped up "Fugg That" as Pase Rock, Kyle David and Sonic provide adrenaline filled lyrics to keep the listener engaged in both lyricism, as well as the rolling production. But like their previous releases, the listener may get so damn caught up in the production that lyrics become complimentary. Fortunately, the emcees hold their own well enough to not be called out for ruining beautiful production. "BMW" is another example of excellent production taking the spotlight from the emcees.
With Kommunicator, Five Deez deliver yet again an album full of worthy moments. Striking grooves couples with solid lyricism holds this album down. Although it is just too short for its own good, Kommunicator does just enough to keep fans happy. Some may yearn to hear Jon lend his talents to other significant emcees, but it seems as if Jon is comfortable with where he is at. Which means in order to get a hold of Jon's massive talent, you'll have to look long and hard to find this rare gem of an album.
