'Punch': Plenty of Guts, but Not So Much Brain
By Celia Wren
Special to The Washington Post
Wednesday, November 12, 2008
When a production's playbill includes a separate credit for a blood designer, it's a safe bet the show doesn't cater to the squeamish.
Such, indeed, is the case with "Punch -- that's the way we do it" -- an hour-long bout of ribald horseplay presented by the fledgling local troupe Dog & Pony DC. Written and directed by Wyckham Avery -- and supplied with a Niagara of gore by Casey Kaleba -- "Punch" is a bad bet only for anyone who squirms at, say, the idea of a man jumping rope with a length of small intestine.
Alas, notwithstanding its Grand Guignol special effects, and a script so peppered with vulgarisms as to send an FCC chairman into hysterics, "Punch" is at root a rough-hewn, vaguely interesting exercise in theatrical scholarship. In this "commedia/punk" hybrid (as Avery has dubbed it), live actors rampage through an adaptation of the classic Punch-and-Judy show -- the jovially violent puppet play that is a centuries-old tradition in British popular culture.
Riffing off iconic versions of the tale, Avery's Punch (a gravel-voiced Dan VanHoozer) gleefully kills his baby; beats to death his wife, Judy (Niki Jacobsen); disembowels a doctor (Jacobsen, doubling); murders an executioner (Lee Liebeskind); and ultimately matches wits with the Devil himself (Liebeskind again).
These days, this kind of sinister mayhem might smack of slasher films and adults-only video games (and this production is certainly not for children), but the Punch-and-Judy genre actually boasts a distinguished artistic pedigree: Academics trace the anti-authoritarian figure of Punch back to the commedia dell'arte character Pulcinella. The Dog & Pony DC production cites this legacy with commedia-style masks (designed by Avery) for the characters, who include the clown Joey (Josh Drew), a kind of fairground-booth emcee who capers around the edges of the narrative.
But if Avery invokes the venerable ancestry of the Punch genre, she's also more interested in exploring the story's ick factor, which -- obviously -- skyrockets when the tale travels from an inherently distancing hand-puppet context to the immediacy of live-actor drama.
Adding another layer of subversion, this show's script endows its title character with a supersized libido, ready to indulge in necrophilia and bestiality. A punk-rock soundtrack seems to underscore Punch's anti-establishment energy. The production's goal is to probe the boundaries of viewer discomfort, and to examine how the unsettling can shade into the pleasurable.
In theory, it's a valid project; but in practice, the Halloween gothicism and adolescent lewdness of "Punch" are more tedious than thought-provoking. VanHoozer's thuggish Punch becomes grating as he swaggers around, committing felonies; growling about sausages (the character's favorite food); briefly spoofing Shakespeare ("Is this a sausage that I see before me? . . . "); and pestering the audience (no fourth wall in this production, alas).
Not that the play wholly lacks bright spots. Liebeskind has a funny moment as Satan, fastidiously arranging his tie and cuffs before pouncing on his victim. Dressed in black boots and a minidress, Jacobsen vamps effectively as Judy; and, donning goofily bushy eyebrows, she's suitably pompous as the Doctor. Puppet designer Betsy Rosen briefly steals the show with her rendering of the dog Toby (a stock Punch-and-Judy character) as a found-object mannequin, with a wooden-handbag body, a whisk-broom leg and a long lolling tongue.
And on the slaughter front, fight choreographer Lorraine Ressegger efficiently maneuvers grisly combat around Colin K. Bills's set, which -- aptly -- resembles a cardboard finger-puppet theater blown up to human scale.
As for Kaleba's blood: It spurts so vigorously that the first two rows of seats have been equipped with garbage-bag capes for spectators to don. Some ticketholders might just wish the whole show could get a tourniquet.
Punch -- that's the way we do it, written and directed by Wyckham Avery. Lighting, Colin K. Bills; costumes, Margo Beirne. About one hour.

Today we pushed version 1.1.0 of Socket.IO with a lots of bug fixes and some new additions. This release comes thanks to the work of more than 20 contributors.
- hasBin no longer iterates over object prototypes (GH#1645) [kevin-roark]
- Enhanced font styles in the chat example app (GH1653) [acusti]
- Fixed etag header in server socket.io.js (GH#1655) [ysmood]
- Fixed repo url in package.json (GH#1673) [bryanburgers]
- Improved namespace and disconnection tests (GH) [guille]
- Fixed possible crash on reconnect due to referencing deleted object property (GH#1682) [kevin-roark]
- Emitting error packet when connecting to non-existing namespace (GH#1688) [fdellabetta]
- Fixed room removal logic when leaving a room, props (GH#1697) [Marreck]
- Faster git checkout in travis and SVG travis badge, (GH#1714, GH#1713) [PeterDaveHello]
- No double utf8 encoding of packets on websocket transport (GH#322) [rase-]
- Fixed binary decode memory leak (GH#27,GH#28) [christophwitzko, rase-]
- Better utf8 error handling (GH#29) [nkzawa]
- Fixed memory leak in websocket usage (GH, GH) [guille, nicokaiser]
- Possibility to cleanly close the server (GH#1646) [narcisoguillen]
- Declaring namespaces without the
/prefix possible (GH#1729) [asyncanup]
- The
remoteAddressproperty on the connection is now cached so it should always be accessible (GH#270) [rase-]
- Better utf8 error handling (GH#316) [nkzawa]
reconnect_failedevent is now fired only once in socket.io-client (GH#708) [rase-]
autoConnectoption in socket.io-client, making it possible to disable connecting without explicitly calling
manager.open(GH#680, GH#728) [FredyC, nkzawa]
- Our tests are faster and better than ever using the travis build matrix (GH, GH#335) [tootallnate, rase-, guille]
- It is now possible to disable JSONP as a transport (GH#314) [rase-]
- You can now use XDomainRequest to avoid loading bar flashing in IE8 (GH#331 GH#333 GH#334) [yujiosaka]
Here are some examples of what you can do with the new features:
It is now possible to cleanly close the socket.io server like so:
var app = require('http').createServer();
var io = require('socket.io')(app);
var fs = require('fs');
app.listen(3333, function() {
Namespaces can be declared without the
/ prefix:
var app = require('http').createServer();
var io = require('socket.io')(app);
// '' and '/' are equal
io.of('').on('connection', function(){
// Connecting to '/' will do the trick
// 'abc' and '/abc' are equal
io.of('abc').on('connection', function(){
// Connecting to '/abc' will do the trick
There's now an auto connect option in socket.io-client, making it possible to disable connecting without explicitly calling
var manager = io.Manager('http://localhost:9823', { autoConnect: false });
manager.open(); // Won't start connecting until now
}, 500);
Our tests are faster and better than ever using the travis build matrix!
You can find the example build here!
remoteAddress property on the connection is now cached so it should always be accessible. It can be accessed either in the handshake object, or directly from engine.io:
io.on('connection', function(socket){
It is now possible to disable JSONP as a transport. If disabled (by settings to false) an error will be emitted (saying "No transports available") if no other transports can form a connection. If another transport is available for opening a connection (e.g. WebSocket) that transport will be used instead.
var socket = require('engine.io-client')('ws://localhost', { jsonp: false });
socket.on('open', function(){
socket.on('message', function(data){});
socket.on('close', function(){});
You can now use XDomainRequest to avoid loading bar flashing in IE8:
var socket = require('engine.io-client')('ws://localhost', { enablesXDR: true });
socket.on('open', function(){
socket.on('message', function(data){});
socket.on('close', function(){});
The option defaults to
false because XDomainRequest has a known flaw of not sending cookies.
1.1.0 can be found in the Socket.IO CDN:
<script src="https://cdn.socket.io/socket.io-1.1.0.js"></script>
A big thank you to everyone who participated in the making of the release by reporting issues, getting involved in discussion, and/or contributing code. Keep being awesome, and stay tuned for more updates!

I doubled the recipe, using 2 large onions (instead of scallions), extra garlic, and about a pound of very meaty bacon ends (trimmed of excessive fat). Kielbasa works wonderfully with this, too.
To make it heartier, I'll add a can or two of cannelini beans or Great Northerns.
WONDERFUL FLAVOR! A dollop of light sour cream finishes it beautifully.
I've got about 200 pounds of green tomatoes, and I think I'll make this a time or two before they ripen.
This soup was very good and a great way to use up some of those green tomatoes left in the garden. I made a few adjustments: used onion instead of scallion, 2 cups broth and 1 cup water, simmered it for over an hour (wasn't fond of the crunchy texture) added 1/4 cup milk at the end and then pureed with a stick blender. I sprinkled extra bacon on the top to serve. It was very well received! Thanks for posting!
A friend "gifted" me with lots and lots of green tomatoes and this was one of the recipes I picked to use them. While this wasn't to my taste, the giver of the tomatoes loved the soup so our rating averages out to a 4.

The Tramp Stamp Goes Upscale With CHANEL Temporary Tattoos
With the body art craze continuing to grow, it's no surprise that a luxury brand would capitalize on the trend. And it seems that french brand CHANEL is the first to market luxury temporary rub-on tattoos, LES TROMPE-L'OEIL DE CHANEL.
In the Chanel Spring-Summer 2010 Fashion Show in Paris, the models were not only sporting fashionable fabrics, but a series of temporary tattoos designed and applied by Peter Philips, the Global Creative Director for CHANEL makeup.
Chanel CD Peter Philips applying the body art:
They are now selling the fifty-five exclusive temporary tattoos, originally hand-drawn by Peter Philips. Artful images of CHANEL symbols and icons, including Oriental cherry blossoms, bejeweled Swallows, Chanel's double CC logo, strands of pearls, link chains and toggle clasps have been turned into rub-on body art. They add visual trompe l'oeil jewelry to the body in the form of classic ornamentation.

Hello all,
I've entered my frist marathon in May and have found that when I run more than say 1 hour 45 minutes I really need to take on more calories, so have started experimenting with Energy Gels. My question relates to how many/how often people generally take them on board. I did a long run today (2 hours 30 mins) and I had a gel at about 1 hour 35 mins, and then another about 2 hours 5 mins. That seemed to work fine for me, so my plan for the marathon itself was to take on 5 gels, at 30 minute intervals from 1 hour 30 mins til 3 hours 30 mins (my target time is circa 3:45 for the race). Does this seem about right for what other people do, or does it seem way off?
Sorry for the question but I'm in unknown territory here - I've only ever done halfs before and I was fine with just water for those, but that won't get me round a full so need some advice from people in the know.
Yup, the people at Lucozade pretty much say the same as EdinburghKev - one every 45min-60min starting at the 45min mark. They say not to leave the first one for hour 2 but to start them early as it won't be as beneficial.
But you also need to practise with them or else youy may end up feeling rather ordinary!
But you also need to practise with them or else you may end up feeling rather ordinary!
LS21 I use the same gels as you. Take one after your first hour, then one ever 30 mins afterwards. Sisgo are better gels as you don't have to take water with them.
5 Mile intervals for me as well. Anything after 18 miles probably won't havetime to digest to be beneficial.
The SIS Go Gels are very good, 60g of carbs and can help rehydrate as well. Easy to swallow on a run and the berry flavour is very nice.
Try them out as well.
Thanks for the help everyone - much appreciated.
Pavey - I was planning on one after an hour and then another every 30 mins so your strategy fits with exactly what my thoughts were, so cheers for the reply. The 5 mile interval thing sounds a good option too for the race so a couple of things to have a play round with in the coming weeks I guess.
Cheers for your help.

He may not have hit any remarkable millstones or lifted a Stanley Cup, but it's hard not to admire Brenden Morrow's career.
The gritty winger officially announced his retirement Thursday and opened up about some of his experiences in a post in The Players' Tribune.
"When the Dallas Stars called my name at the draft, I really couldn't have been any happier," Morrow wrote. "I knew I was stepping onto a really great team. But I could have never imagined at that point how big of an impact the organization would have on my life. Some of my best memories that I'll treasure my entire life happened while I was wearing a Stars uniform."
Morrow went on to tell stories about a game he and his Stars teammates would play called "donkey ball," the time he feared for his life when he chirped Chris Simon and getting up to some wild antics with Marty Turco.
Read the full post in The Players' Tribune.
Morrow scored 265 goals and 310 assists in 991 career regular-season games, the vast majority of which were recorded when he was with Dallas. He also spent some time with Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Tampa Bay in his final three seasons.
"I'm proud of what I was able to accomplish with the Stars and how I represented the franchise," Morrow wrote. "I'm honored that Doug Armstrong and Dave Tippett believed in me the way that they did during my career. Giving me the honor of being the captain of the team is something that I'll always be thankful for. I never took that responsibility for granted."
His success with the Stars resulted in him being selected to represent Team Canada during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics where he earned a gold medal.
Following the 2010-11 season, the Carlyle, Sask., native's numbers began to decline and he realized the end was nearing.
"I'd wake up in the morning and struggle to get my socks on. For a long time, I ignored that stuff because I knew what it meant. I can still think the game at a high level, but I just can't keep up with the speed anymore. It's amazing how much it's changed since I came into the League. But I can tell you, my body might have deteriorated, but my passion never did.
"You know, looking back on my career, a lot of the time I spent on the ice is a blur. The goals and the records are all things that might fade from my memory. But I'm always going to remember the times when I was sharing a laugh with my buddies while playing the game that I love."
Morrow explained that growing up his favourite player to watch was Brett Hull. When he joined the Stars he became teammates and eventually linemates with his idol. The two remain close friends to this day.
The 37-year-old was a guest on the Marek Vs. Wyshynski podcast Thursday and told a funny story about how they bonded while emptying their bladders one night at Hull's loft.

Some of my room mates came in very late last night (between 3am and 4am), so so felt a bit guilty when I started getting up and packing my bags around 8am... But such is life!

Parque Kennedy was pretty much closed and cordoned off, but I managed to find the ticket booth at the top of Parque ...

Chip race mats
I was amazed to learn there are races that use the chip but only have one mat - at the finish line.┬Ā
That is useless.┬Ā
The purpose of a chip race is to record the elapsed time between a runner crossing the start line and the finish line.┬Ā Without a start line mat AND a finish line mat that can't be done.
Using only one mat does nothing for the runner.┬Ā Chip time┬Āwould always be┬Āthe same as gun time, so runners who take a long time to get across the start line would not benefit from chip use.┬Ā The only advantage is that the race director┬Āwould not have to recruit a finish line crew.
If you use the chip (which you don't have to do) always have mats at the start and finish line - and at the farthest point on the course, to deter cheaters.
If you can't afford more than one mat, then don't use the chip.

Get PREPAID without getting BURNED!
We like T-Mobile Prepaid Plans (read more about them here) and just purchased a pre-paid phone for emergencies. T-Mobile's customer service is phenomenal. Their best deal is to buy 1000 minutes of air-time (1 year expiration) and then roll-over any unused minutes by purchasing any denomination of minutes before the end of the year.
We spent $100 for 1000 minutes (with a one-year expiration). But what sold us on the plan was that we could roll-over any unused minutes if we purchased as little as $5 additional air time before the one year anniversary. You'll pay a little more for the minutes you use, but you won't have a contract or a high monthly payment.
Do your research and start saving.
If your teens have cell phones How many families have been stunned by their teen's cell phone habits and the resultant bills. We're talking shockers of over $400 in a month! Put a stop to this budget busting habit.
First, have your teen be responsible for most, if not all of their cell phone bill.
Second, if you want to help them control costs, get them a prepaid cell phone plan.
Third, consider a family plan that they pay their portion of. We just switched to a TMobile Family Plan and our kids with cell phones love it!
Another option is to try StraightTalk. It's a new alliance between Walmart and TracFone. $35 pre-paid gets you 1000 talk minutes, 1000 texts and 30 mb of internet. $45 gets you unlimited talk, text and internet. We're giving this a try and will let you know how it works.
Update 10.18.11 : We've been using our StraightTalk phone for 3 months now and thoroughly love it and our lower bill. We're paying $33 (tax included) for 1000 talk minutes, 1000 text messages and 30 mb of internet. Their internet access is a bit limited – you can't stream videos, but by loading the Bolt app browser, we've been able to load every page we've wanted to view. If you're looking for the most robust internet browsing package, this isn't for you, but if you want to check email, use google maps and search google for answers it works great!

Bed race in Thailand - level 1

People organise a race in Thailand. It is a race for groups of two people. The couples wear funny clothing. They have beds. They decorate the beds. The couples push the beds for two kilometres. Many people watch the race. It is great fun.
People from different countries come to the race. The race brings all of these people together.
Difficult words: race (when you move fast to win), couple (two people), decorate (to make something look nice and special).

Discoveries about the genetic bases of frontotemporal lobar dementia (FTLD) have provided researchers with an unprecedented ability to characterize the pre-symptomatic stages of this disease. This capability is critical to ascertaining the earliest clinical features of the disease and identifying biomarkers that can be used for early diagnosis and in treatment studies. The proposed project will examine individuals from a single family with a genetic mutation for FTLD who are approaching the age of disease onset, offering a unique and highly controlled environment in which to identify the earliest clinical features and biomarkers of this devastating disease. Specifically, this study proposes to follow the offspring generation of a large family with a known mutation in the MAPT (tau) gene to determine the earliest clinical features of FTLD and the variables which may modify disease onset and course. At least 90 members of the offspring generation of a single family will be offered participation in a longitudinal study examining cognition, behavior, psychiatric symptoms, and lifestyle features. Moreover, this proposal includes the use of state of the art neuroimaging tools including both structural and functional modalities, gray and white matter quantification, and regional and network analyses to detect the earliest signs of disease. Individuals will undergo genetic testing to determine carrier status, will be comprehensively characterized at baseline, and will be followed annually over the course of the study to examine change in clinical and imaging variables over time as a function of carrier status. Additionally, the proposed study will carefully characterize lifetime physical activity and alcohol and recreational drug use to determine if these lifestyle variables are early manifestations of disease and / or modify disease onset and course. Finally, biological specimens including cerebrospinal fluid and blood plasma will be longitudinally collected in an effort to characterize changes in brain protein levels that may provide early information regarding the onset and course of disease.
Improved characterization of FTLD at its earliest stages is a necessary step in facilitating earlier disease detection and developing disease modifying therapeutics that can be applied in advance of irrevocable neuropathological changes.

- Google Scrabble Flash instructions. There's even a YouTube video to show you how to play.by GrammaBillie12/19/2016Was this answer helpful? (2) (0)Was this answer helpful?
- Place the five squares so they are touching each other. Wait a second and your score will show. Wait again and it will show how many words were possible with those letters.by CANANNA12/28/2011Was this answer helpful? (0) (0)Was this answer helpful?
- They should but it's pretty easy. When you start you can pick games 1-3. 3 is to compete with others but 1 and 2 is solo. Once the time is up the cubes will beep and show you your score like "SCR 12" with the 5 cube showing just a symbol. It should tell you what the max score you could have achieved after as well. If not you may want to see if you can exchange.by tinywings9/15/2011Was this answer helpful? (0) (0)Was this answer helpful?

- When the timer goes off, place all 5 tiles together. It'll automatically calculate how many words you were able to make. It will also give you the maximum amount of words all 5 letters can make.by XcelShopper8/21/2011Was this answer helpful? (1) (0)Was this answer helpful?
- Yes, and very easy to undestand.by Gammatou1/31/2011Was this answer helpful? (0) (0)Was this answer helpful?
- Instructions do come with the game. Has (3) games. You choose the game you want to play at start up, you will see a 1-2-3 choice. Push the game you want to play. Game (1) is the one I use the most, find as many 3-4-5 letter words as possible. Game (2) Find as many 5 letter words as you can in the alotted time. Game (3) is multi player, take turns forming 5-letter words, players drop out as they run out of time, the last player in wins. Your score come up after the cubes start blinking and the game ends, and then it will show the total possible words. You can go online to a Scrabble word finder site and it will show all possible words, I did this because I was skeptical at first. I Love this game and everyone I have shown it to, gets hooked!!by Musband12/16/2010Was this answer helpful? (0) (0)Was this answer helpful?
- Could not find them online. Choosing a number after turning the blocks on chooses a game. Game 1 you try and build 3, 4, or 5 letter words before the clock runs out. Game 2 you try and form a 5 letter word with the tiles. Each time you do, new letters are given until time runs out. Game 3 is for 1 or more players. Again 5 letter words, if you do it, the tiles display next and the tiles are passed, if you don't the tiles display out and then next till only one player is left. At the end of each game, line the tiles up to see your score before selecting another game. All this can be done with only 4 tiles to make it more interesting. Start the game with only four instead of five. To turn off the game, line all tiles up and press any one of the buttons and hold till the tiles turn-off.by AverageShmoe11/28/2010Was this answer helpful? (0) (0)Was this answer helpful?

- As far as I could tell, it only works for one game, it won't combine to make longer words.by TenTwentyFive11/10/2011Was this answer helpful? (0) (0)Was this answer helpful?
- I am guessing not, since the cubes are based on 3-4-5-letter words and interact with each other to track our score.by Musband12/17/2010Was this answer helpful? (1) (0)Was this answer helpful?
- You are limited to the amount they give you.by AverageShmoe12/17/2010Was this answer helpful? (1) (0)Was this answer helpful?
- Each of the 5 tiles comes with one 3.0-volt CR2032 lithium battery. The box instructs that they are to be replaced with the same, and a Phillips screwdriver is needed to access the battery terminals.by Phouphe9/29/2011Was this answer helpful? (0) (0)Was this answer helpful?
- CR2032 Lithium (5 are needed). Not sure how long they last, I bought mine for Thanksgiving, we played for a few days then, have played it a couple more times and they are still going, I bought back ups, because I don't want to be down at Christmas.by Musband11/19/2011Was this answer helpful?

Customer review by InMyPerspective
All three games are pretty fun! My favorite is Game 1: the goal is to form as many 3-5 letter words as possible within the given time limit. It is super fast pace and makes you think on the spot. I like how I have to move the tiles around and it is registered electronically, that makes it more interactive. Pros: 1) Comes with a storage box for the 5 tiles; so it's easy to keep it all together 2) Storage box and tiles are very compact and lightweight; so it's easy to bring anywhere 3) Easy to turn the tiles on/off 4) Keeps track of the score and compares it with the maximum possible score; it gives the player more drive to continue playing to achieve that goal 5) Beeps when the same word has been formed without counting that word combination again Cons: 1) Sometimes it's difficult to switch from one game to another without powering down the tiles Despite one con, this is a great game if you like word games!
Customer review by lisatravels
I was a little wary of this game when I first got it. It's called "Scrabble" Flash, but there's nothing Scrabbley about it. There's no board, no double word or triple letter scores, no strategy involved in beating an opponent. It's just letters that you use to make words. But. It's addictive. I started by playing the first of the three possible settings. You get five letters and make as many words as you can in 30 seconds or so. I thought, well, this would be good for kids to practice their spelling, but that's about it. Then when I was done it said that I'd only gotten 12 of a possible 27 words. Then I was hooked. I played for hours trying to increase my score, and I found I was learning new words as I played, accidentally making words I'd never seen before. The squares are sturdy and come with a travel case, which is handy, although I wouldn't recommend taking it on a plane or anywhere the little *correct!* beeping noise would annoy people. Highly recommended for kids of all ages and adults.
