Theatre in London
Whatever sort of theatre you're in the mood for, you'll be able to find a show and stage that suit in London. From intimate Shakesperian comedy and tragedy to extravagant musicals and experimental (Fringe) theatre, here are the city's top stages.
West End theatres
• National Theatre: with three theatres under one roof and frequent West End transfers (like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and War Horse) the National offers some of the best classic and contemporary theatre in town.
• The Old Vic: The Old Vic is one of the oldest theatres in London. Popular amongst serious theatre-goers, it was made even more popular when Kevin Spacey became the art director.
• Theatre Royal Haymarket: known for its matinees, world-class plays and big-name directors (like Trevor Nunn), you'll be sure to have a memorable experience at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.
• Gielgud Theatre: with notable stars like Maggie Smith, Daniel Radcliffe and Patrick Stewart treading the boards, this theatre brings a continuous schedule of highbrow entertainment.
• Apollo Theatre: Jerusalem, Mark Rylance's Richard III and Twelfth Night (starring Stephen Fry), and Let The Right One In are just some of the extremely popular shows to be recently produced at this fantastic theatre.
Off-West End theatres
• Royal Court Theatre: away from the West End theatre circuit, the Royal Court in Sloane Square offers an outstanding schedule of breakthrough plays and new writers.
• Almeida Theatre: this Islington theatre is known and loved for its bold and provocative plays both old and new.
• Shakespeare's Globe: a theatre that needs no introduction. The Globe, situated along the River Thames on Bankside, is a reconstruction of the original theatre (which burnt down in 1613) and pays constant homage to the Bard.

I have a strong passion for the history of Seattle. I especially love seeing how homes have changed and neighborhoods have formed. What a remarkable transformation our city has been through! I often wonder if the people who grew up in Seattle during the early 1900's could even remotely fathom how their city would change over the next century. I think it is extremely important to know and honor our past. Our city has made some great improvements, some unfortunate choices and survived its share of turbulent times. Overall, we are a pretty progressive community.

Battle of Chancellorsville
Pictures & Records
Add your story…
Prelude to Battle
The Gathering Forces
General Robert E. Lee established his local headquarters in the city of Fredericksburg, Virginia by gathering forces from all across Virginia. By the beginning of the battle, he had amassed 60,892 men.1 This number would have increased by about 15,000 had Lieutenant General (Lt. Gen.) James Longstreet, near Norfolk, not been preoccupied with Federal forces near Suffolk, delaying his arrival until the battle was finished.*
Beginning on 27 April 1863, Major General (Maj. Gen.) Joseph Hooker marched four corps of the Army of the Potomac across the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers,2 mostly crossing near the junction of the two. A second force led by Maj. Gen. John Sedgwick crossed the Rappahannock near Fredericksburg,3 while a final force of cavalry under Maj. Gen. George Stoneman headed deep into Confederate territory to cut off their enemy's supply lines.
By the beginning of the fighting, the Union army had a force of 133,868,4 more than double that of the Confederate forces. Hooker had approximately 70,000 men in and around Chancellorsville;5 Sedgwick's forces numbered about 30,000,6 and Stoneman had about 7,500 cavalry.7
Stoneman's Raid: the Union Plan
General Hooker planned to use a pincer movement to collapse upon the Confederates, four corps sneaking northwest first, then south to cross both rivers, and finally turning east to strike Lee's army in the rear (see attached image). The other two corps would hit Lee in the front, from Fredericksburg. All of this would be done while the cavalry destroyed Lee's supply lines.8 Hooker's confidence (and arguably arrogance) in his plan prompted him to say, "I have the finest army the sun every shone on. My plans are perfect, and when I start to carry them out, may God have mercy on General Lee, for I will have none!"9
The Confederate Plan
General Lee thought it prudent to annihilate a portion of Hooker's forces before they could assemble against him. To this end, he planned to violate a long-standing military practice by dividing his forces while facing a superior enemy. One brigade (no more than about 4,000 men) would remain heavily fortified with Brigadier General (Brig. Gen.) William Barksdale on Marye's Heights. Maj. Gen. Jubal A. Early would defend Prospect Hill against any attack by Sedgwick with one division of 12,000 men. Meanwhile, Lt. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson would lead 28,000 men of the Second Corps to attack the Union right flank and push through to Maj. Gen. Richard H. Anderson. A total of 40,000 men under Gen. Lee would confront 70,000 troops under Maj. Gen. Hooker at Chancellorsville.10
*More info can be found here.
- Chancellorsville, Virginia
- 27 April 1863 - 1 May 1863
Battle: May 1
Initial Attack
Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker had his forces embedded within the Wilderness of Spotsylvania, the thick scrub pine forest. This was actually believed to be something of a disadvantage by the Union generals, however, because their superior artillery would not be effective within the impenetrable thickets. Thus, Hooker ordered an advance to the east to strike Anderson while Jackson continued to march toward the rendezvous.11
Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaws of the Confederacy was engaged by the rightmost division of Maj. Gen. George G. Meade's 5th Corps, under the command of Maj. Gen. George Sykes. Sykes, tasked with covering the retreat by Maj. Gen. Winfield S. Hancock's division, began withdrawal in an orderly manner.12
Falter and retreat
At the Battle of Fredericksburg (also known as the First Battle of Fredericksburg) only 4½ months earlier, the Union army had made the assault and met with a devastating defeat.† It is perhaps for this reason that Hooker halted his brief attack. Hooker also had previously only been a division and corps commander, although an aggressive and very effective one;13 it is possible this lack of experience in commanding such a large force also contributed to the hesitancy shown. It has even been suggested14 that the real cause of Hooker's hesitancy was arrogance: he had such confidence in his original plan that he refused to believe events were proceeding differently from what he had predicted.
In either case, Hooker had determined ahead of time to remain defensive. If Lee sustained a defeat like the Union did at the Battle of Fredericksburg in December of the year before, he would be unable to keep any worthy force in the field. Hooker understood this and thus hoped to bait Lee into attacking him or retreating with superior forces behind him. The Union force retreated to take defensive positions around Chancellorsville and waited.15

- 1 May 1863
Battle: May 2
Phase One
Lt. Gen. Jackson marched with his 28,000 as planned, a trip that took nearly the entire day. To help mask this movement, Maj. Gen. James Ewell Brown (J.E.B.) Stuart ordered the 1st Virginia cavalry to march in advance of Jackson's column. The 2nd, 5th, and part of the 3rd regiments interposed between the Union left and Jackson's right flank.16
Hooker believed Stoneman had successfully cut Lee's supply line, so he stayed put, only ordering Maj. Gen. Daniel Sickles to attack with his 3rd Army Corps. Sickles broke through to the Catherine Furnace, a structure set up to assist the Confederacy in badly needed weapons manufacture. These forces ultimately gained control of the road upon which Jackson had already passed, although they were ultimately held by several smaller Confederate forces: Lieutenant Colonel (Lt. Col.) W. R. Carter, of the 3d Virginia Cavalry commanding the picket; Col. J. Thompson Brown assisting with two guns from his artillery; Captain (Capt.) W. S. Moore sending two companies of the 14th Tennessee Infantry; and finally General Archer moving his own brigade and that of Thomas back to also engage the enemy.
Sickles, caught in the fray, was left unaware of Jackson's march not long before. He managed at best to capture a few of the Confederate Second Corps men and gain a position of high ground, one of the few places artillery could be used effectively.
Phase Two
Although Maj. Gen. John Sedgwick remained at Frederickburg as ordered, telegraph lines between him and Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker failed, making them unable to communicate with one another as planned. By the time an order arrived to Sedgwick to attack Maj. Gen. Jubal A. Early's single division, Sedgwick had decided the Confederate force was stronger than his own. Fearing that doing so would prove a mistake, Sedgwick remained where he was.
Phase Three
Gen. Hooker had ordered the commander of the rightmost Union flank (the 11th Corps), Maj. Gen. Oliver O. Howard, to prepare for a surprise attack by the Confederates. The 11,000-strong corps was composed heavily of German immigrants who were formerly under the command of Brig. Gen. Franz Sigel, who had requested relief in February of that same year. The corps developed low morale, being resentful of the general's decision and the appointment of the non-Germanic Howard. Many of them also had poor English and were subjected to ethnic friction with the rest of the Army of the Potomac. What was worse, however, of the 23 regiments making up the corps, 8 lacked any experience in battle, and the rest had never been on the winning side of combat.
In spite of his orders, Howard failed to prepare his corps to defend itself adequately. At 5:30 p.m., while many of Howard's corps were cooking dinner, Lt. Gen. Jackson commanded his 26,000 men to attack. Over 4,000 of the 11th Corps surrendered without a single shot; all but one division of the rest were routed nearly immediately; and the division that remained did not hold its ground for very long. By nightfall, the Confederate 2nd Corps had reached sight of Chancellorsville, where a small Union force was all that stood between them and Lee's army: Maj. Gen. Sickles hadn't moved since that morning.
Not long after, however, Maj. Gen. Hooker ordered the return of Sickles' 3rd Corps to Chancellorsville because his position was a salient. This aided the Confederates by reuniting Jackson with Gen. Lee. Unfortunately, this also gave them Hazel Grove, one of the few places where artillery could be effective. Sickles was quite bitter about giving up this high ground, but he obeyed and retreated from the area.
Confederate Tragedy
Jackson had won a major victory over the Union forces that day. Realizing the disparity of army strength between Hooker's forces and Lee's, he decided to forward his advantage before a counterattack could be mounted. While scouting the Orange Plank Road that night, his own men of the 2nd Corps mistakenly shot him. The wound itself was not mortal, but he died from complications only days after being shot.
- 2 May 1863
Battle: May 3
Stuart's Advance
Following the injury of Jackson, Maj. Gen. A. P. Hill took command of the corps. Following orders from the fallen Jackson to "press right in," he impetuously pushed his corps forward, suffering a severe wound himself. (In spite of this wound, Hill stayed near the field the following day.) After consulting with Brig. Gen. Robert E. Rodes (the next most senior officer of the corps), Hill transferred command a second time, to Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart. He then sent word of the change of command to Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Stuart attacked all along the front of the Union forces, continuing the aggressive advance of the forces. At the same time, Hooker was withdrawing his troops from Hazel Grove, which aided in Stuart's advance. After gaining the high ground, Stuart set up artillery and began bombarding the Union artillery below. Although the Union lines began to falter from this heavy pressure, reinforcements never came. Stuart set a fierce assault on them again. By the afternoon, Chancellorsville was in Confederate hands, Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker retreating in the only open direction available, to United States Ford.
Repeated Orders
During the heat of the fight, Hooker once again ordered Maj. Gen. John Sedgwick to punch through Confederate lines and move to cut off Lee's supply, and once again Sedgwick delayed until it was too late. Maj. Gen. Jubal A. Early had abandoned his position on Prospect Hill due to a miscommunication of orders from Lee, and Sedgwick's attack there allowed him to get through. However, this was far too late in the day to be of any help to Hooker.
Brig. Gen. Cadmus M. Wilcox needed only one brigade to work along the Orange Plank Road at Salem Church (west of Fredericksburg) to slow the advance. Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaws arrived late in the afternoon from Chancellorsville and together with Wilcox completely stopped Sedgwick's march.
This single day alone was the costliest of this engagement, with roughly 9,000 on each side falling in battle.
- Chancellorsville, Virginia
- 3 May 1863
Battle: May 4
Despite Sedwick's being engaged with Lee and Early beginning the evening before, Hooker never came out of his fortifications to provide aid. Sedgwick was able to break through defenses Early had erected, but he didn't do anything to secure the city of Fredericksburg. The Confederate force returned to Prospect Hill and occupied those heights once more, separating Sedgwick from the rest of the Union army. At the same time, Maj. Gen. Richard H. Anderson moved from Chancellorsville to reinforce McLaws before Sedgwick could realize how small the opposing force was. Although Sedgwick was tentative in his attack, he was adamant about holding his ground all that day. He finally backed to Bank's Ford, protecting their line of retreat. When a heavy fog moved in, fighting ceased for the night.
Planned Retreat vs. Battle Strategy
Unfortunately, the miscommunications between Sedgwick and Hooker continued. Sources do not completely agree as to what was a legitimate order that night and what was misunderstanding. It appears that at midnight, Hooker called his generals together to strategize. Generals Butterfield, Warren, Meade, Reynolds, Howard, Couch, and Sickles were present. Apparently Hooker asked the generals present to discuss whether the Army of the Potomac should attack or retreat, then left the tent so they could discuss. Mead, Reynolds, and Howard voted to attack, while Couch and Sickles voiced for retreat.
One theory holds that when Hooker returned, he announced he had already made up his mind: they would retreat. General Reynolds is reported to have commented, "What was the use of calling us together at this time of night when he intended to retreat anyway?" Thus, despite the objections of most of his corps commanders, he ordered a retreat across the river, believing the campaign was lost.
Another theory suggests that Hooker hoped Sedgwick would maintain Bank's Ford (where he was before crossing the river), giving him a chance to move from Chancellorsville to Bank's Ford, where he could engage the Confederates once more. This would seem to suggest that Hooker decided to follow the advice of his aides and generals. If this is what happened, the orders delivered to Sedgwick would have been yet again misinterpreted.
In either case, Sedgwick believed the order he received was to retreat back across the Rappahannock. He withdrew early the morning of the 5th.

- 4 May 1863
Battle: May 5
The Storm
Gen. Lee was going to attack Sedgwick on the morning of the 5th, but it became clear those forces had retreated across the river. The army was redirected to attack the forces of Hooker in a two-pronged assault. Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart, still leading the corps of Jackson, would hit the Federal right flank while the combined divisions led by Anderson, Early, and McLaws struck the left. A torrential rain began on the 5th, though, and the fatigued troops could not get into position by the end of that day, so Lee held off until the following morning.
Union Retreat
Hooker's withdrawl began on the evening of May 5. Had Lee reached Hooker, he would have confronted a fortified line. With Lee's failure to attack, Hooker withdrew first and stayed on the far bank. His aides and corps commanders directed the rest of the withdrawal, each leaving in succession. By 9:00 a.m. the next morning, the withdrawal was complete.

- 5 May 1863
Aftermath of the Battle
No real victory
When Gen. Lee moved on Hooker's old position, he found it abandoned. Lee had wanted an engagement: the resulting defeat had been far from a decisive battle. There might as well have been no fighting for the little benefit the battle provided. When Brig. Gen. William Dorsey Pender informed Lee that the Federals were gone, Lee exclaimed, "Why, General Pender! That is what you young men always do. You allow these people to get away. I tell you what to do, and you don't do it."
Lack of bridges and supplies made pursuit of the Union forces across the river an impossibility. Of this fact, Lee later recorded, "At Chancellorsville, we gained another victory; our people were wild with delight. I, on the contrary, was more depressed than after Fredericksburg; our losses were severe, and again we had gained not an inch of ground and the enemy could not be pursued."
Consequences of Battle
The battle was a hit to Union morale. Of the reaction of many of the Federal forces, one man wrote: "The wonder of the private soldiers was great. How could they have been beaten with so little fighting? How had one half of the army been defeated while the other half had not fought at all? The muttered curses were prolonged and deep as they plodded back in the mud to their old camps."
The reactions in New York were equally disappointed. A correspondant to the New York Times wrote, "The news that Hooker and his army had recrossed the Rappahannock flashed through Washington about 5 o'clock this afternoon. The impression produced by it was profound. Men's minds were cast from the congratulatory cheerfulness with which all had for three days discussed the events which succeeded the brilliant passages of the Rappahannock, and the Rapidan…It made men silent and thoughtful beyond anything I have ever seen in Washington."
Abraham Lincoln was himself upset. Noah Brooks, working for the Sacramento Daily Union, wrote of the reaction: "The appearance of the President was piteous. Never, as long as I knew him [some seven years], did he seem to be so broken up, so dispirited, and so ghostlike. Clasping his hands behind his back, he walked up and down the room, saying, 'My God, my God, what will the country say! What will the country say!' He seemed incapable of uttering any other words, and quickly left the room."
Other Losses
When Lt. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson was first injured, Gen. Lee wrote to him, "Could I have directed events, I would have chosen for the good of the country to be disabled in your stead." Jackson had to have his left arm amputated and caught pneumonia shortly thereafter. He died of complications caused by this on May 10. This was a devastating blow to the Confederate army. When Lee received the news, he said "William, I have lost my right arm" (as opposed to the amputated left arm of Jackson). He finished with, "I'm bleeding at the heart."
In addition to this loss, the Confederacy also lost Brig. Gen. Elisha Franklin Paxton (a friend of Jackson and leader of the Stonewall brigade). With these losses, the last of the so-called "elite" leadership of Lee's army would fall at Gettysburg, two months later. The army under Lee also suffered 13,000 casualties, about one quarter of its total force. With limited manpower already, this was something they could ill afford.
The Union lost some of its own leadership, viz., Maj. Gen. Hiram George Berry; Maj. Gen. Amiel W. Whipple; and Brig. Gen. Edmund Kirby. In addition, some generals were career casualties. Hooker revoked Stoneman's command on grounds of incompentence; Couch was so disgusted by what he felt was Hooker's political maneuvering that he resigned and became the leader of the Pennsylvania militia; Hooker was relieved of command on 28 June 1863, just before the Battle of Gettysburg, after threatening his resignation during a dispute over readiness of forces at Harper's Ferry.
While the Union lost more men during the battle (about 17,000), this loss affected them much less that it did the South.

There are no hard and fast rules about how much shoe is needed for a given distance. The more efficient your form, and the stronger your feet and lower legs, the less support and/or cushion you'll need.

Remember the rule of "nothing new on race day?" *ahem* I think you're trying to break it.
While I can't tell you what kind of shoe you need to be wearing, if the mild-moderate are working for you now and you feel "wobbly" and your hips hurt when you run in the low stability, why oh why would you even consider trying to run a HM in them without giving your body and adjustment period and seeing how things go?

The Start-Up Drive Ep 3 : Agile and Lean does not mean we won't document plans.
In today's daily drive I've been thinking about the best way to document your plans. I'm not talking about writing a 1000 page document, Gantt charts, deliverables and projections. I'm talking about a monthly or quarterly overview of key objectives. Doing this will achieve a few goals for an up and coming company that has limited resources:
- Keep focus on your goals over that time period.
- Allow for non-tech types to understand what you're doing.
- Build up a library of documentation for potential investors.
- Create a roadmap for business goal and KPI (Key Performance Indicator) definition and refinement.
- Help to focus your efforts and build up definable metrics that can be used to one day forecast revenues and plans.
- Build a "machine" and process for actually delivering on high level things like content strategy, offers, communication schedules (email, social media), and pricing offers.
I start with either a Visio or Omnigraffle document and every 30 days or so iterate a new set of two pages. It's close to a mind map but leans more towards a process flow and goal illustration.
The nice thing about this is it keeps things understandable, it's a quick read, it doesn't take days to put together and lastly (and probably most importantly) it helps to document your journey in the chaos and speed of growing business.

Attacks in Lahore Kill Dozens
At least 80 people have been killed and dozens more wounded, following orchestrated attacks in Pakistan today.
The Associated Press reports that gunmen targeting the Ahmadi sect opened fire at two mosques in the capital city of Lahore. Officials believe at least seven people, including three suicide bombers, perpetrated today's attacks, and two men have been apprehended, according to the AP.
Members of the Ahmadi sect consider themselves Muslim, but Pakistan does not recognize them as followers of Islam. The BBC reports that the group has been persecuted in the past; in 1973, Pakistan officially designated the group as "non-Muslim."
Officials have not yet released the names of those responsible for today's attacks, nor have they identified whether the attackers are affiliated with any other group.

I worked there, the mix is pre packaged and you the add water, mix, wait 10 mins for the batter to rise, than whisk it smooth.
Bleucheese is right on about the 400 degree flat top grill but when I worked there (7years ago) we used real butter :)
I get similar results using Krusteaz brand mix, and adding more water then the directions specify to make it pourable. Maybe even better results will be achieved with a 400 deg griddle... I don't generally griddle pancakes that hot!
My favorite post of all times:
My second favorite post of all times:

My second favorite post of all times:
I read the ingredients on the back of the pancake mix. There is a degree of corn flour in the recipe. Every "copy cat" recipe I have read has not included it. Maybe you might want to try adding a little.
I was searching for the recipe this morning and found your site.
Let me know if this works.
Hey mudbug, Just wanted to update that I gave your pancake recipe I try and it was delish!
I also made the alton brown version and it was fluffy but kinda dense or thick tasting. It is very similar to the cracker barrel recipe posted here. But nothing quite the same as the cracker barrel. I did use melted butter on my pan so it did give a light brown (uneven) and not the signature ring and crisp edge as cracker and barrel restaurant.
Hey Jim: I am interested trying the recipe from Jamison's book, A Real American breakfast.. 3 cups AP flour and 1/3 cup corn meal... 1 quart buttermilk, 2 eggs, separated.. etc. Can someone downize it so smaller portion since I only keep about 2 cups or less of buttermilk on hand and that is too much flour for me.
Also separating egg whites and whipping into soft peaks in the morning is really loud in the morning and it doesn't make that much of a difference when you only make a few pancakes; since I freeze the rest. I kinda want a no fuss breakfast.
Still trying to mimic cracker and barrel pancakes but their box mix does use 3 diff flours. cornmeal, ap flour, and rye.. any one has any updates?
Your recipe seems to have a lot of leavening for only 2 c of flour. According the bakewise book, baking soda is 4x stronger than baking powder (which already has soda in it). so, you are using 2 heaping tsp of baking powder and 2 tsp of soda? Plus you are already whipping up the egg whites and folding them in. Wouldn't that be way too fluff? I am learning so much so please correct me.
I just made a modified alton brown and his is similar to yours with less leaving.. His had enough fluff but was kind of thick as I would have liked.
2 c AP flour
2 c. buttermilk
2 eggs (separtated and whipped the eggs whites)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp soda
3 tbs melted butter
1 tsp sugar
By the way, I have made a strawberry souffle pancake before when watching diners, drive ins and dives. That took more work since cook in cast iron skillet then place into broiler but it was too rich too eggy for my taste. But, it would be great if you want to impress out of town guest. Here is a picture of it on my blog: http://redcherryontop.com/?cat=9
I hear ya' with the egg white-whipping.... but it does make a textural difference. Also, you can absolutely cut the recipe in half; I use the doubled version so I can make and freeze. Good luck and enjoy!

Unable to hold on, Bears fall in semifinals
Unable to hold on, Bears fall in semifinals
STONINGTON — Stonington High's boys' soccer team came within a few minutes of reaching the ECC tournament finals Wednesday night.
The Bears took a 1-0 lead about midway through the second half of their semifinal game against East Lyme, but the Vikings scored late in regulation and late in the first of a possible two golden goal overtime periods to beat the Bears 2-1.
"They were disappointed but when the game ended we just kind of talked about how they gave it their all," Stonington coach Paul deCastro said. "They're proud of the way they played and I think they earned a lot of respect. I don't think a lot of people thought we'd be in the semifinals."
Stonington (11-5-2) was seeded seventh out eight teams. The Bears knocked off No. 2 Windham 1-0 on Monday.
No. 3 East Lyme (12-1-5) beat No. 6 Montville 1-0 on Monday.
The Vikings gave up only seven goals in 16 regular-season games including a 0-0 overtime tie against Stonington on Sept. 17.
The Bears and Vikings played a scoreless first half Wednesday, but Stonington broke through 19 minutes and 19 seconds into the second half.
Leo Aguirre scored unassisted.
"It was a great individiual effort by Leo," deCastro said. "He got the ball at the top of the 18 and beat several players. The goalie came flying out and he tucked it in the far corner.
"The first half was pretty even. The second half they put on more and more pressure on us. After we scored I was joking that hopefully we didn't score too early. You can only take pressure so long before letting up a goal."
East Lyme was awarded a penalty kick with 3:57 left in regulation.
Griffen Woods took the kick and scored.
"Steven (Zelepos) guessed right. He maybe got a hand on it. He was very close to saving it," deCastro said. "They had a corner kick. The ball bounced in and when it bounced it hit off one of our player's hands so I guess they had to make the call."
deCastro said Woods struck the ball very well and Zelepos dove to his right.
The Bears, shaken a bit by the tying goal, regrouped in overtime.
But the Vikings' Alex Gaito got the ball on the left flank and crossed it into the box to Nate Delesdernier who scored the winner with 2:05 left in the 10-minute period.
"We probably should haver gotten to the ball in the air but we let it bounce. Steven came off his line like he should and the kid tucked the ball in the far corner," deCastro said. "Neither goals were his fault. He did a great job."
Zelepos made four saves on the six East Lyme shots. The Bears managed just two shots.
East Lyme had 10 corners. Stonington did not have any.
Stonington has at least one game left. The Bears will host Weston on Tuesday for a Class M state tournament game at a time to be announced.
The pairings do not officially come out until Friday but deCastro said the schools have been in contact about Tuesday's game.

Mommy makeover! Tummy Tuck, and Breast Lift! Highly recommend for mothers after they are done having children!!
amazing & life changing - San Antonio, TX
Mommy makeover! Tummy Tuck, and Breast Lift!...
Dr. H was an amazing doctor before, during and after my surgery. I always felt overly comfortable with her from the moment I met her. I had visited other plastic surgeons before choosing to use Dr. H, but the moment I met her, my husband and I both just felt a sense of ease about her. She has always had my best interests in mind and was very honest about how the entire process works from consultation to total recovery! Dr. H is not only a plastic surgeon, but she is also an amazing artist. This is a unique quality to have in a plastic surgeon, many can study and practice to become a plastic surgeon, but not everybody is born with the natural ability to be an artist. Dr. H was an artist first who turned her love into a fantastic profession. People often ask me if I would have my surgery again, and with no hesitation I would say 100% yes, and only with Dr. H. I have and will continue to recommend her to my family and friends. Not only is she amazing, but so is everyone that works with and for her.

Fatherhood gives Memorial leader Haas better perspective
By Mark Lamport-Stokes
DUBLIN, Ohio (Reuters) - Bill Haas readily admits that changing diapers is more difficult than facing a tricky putt on a slick green but the American's game has clearly benefited from the recent birth of his first child.
A four-times winner on the PGA Tour, Haas had missed the cut on his previous two starts on the U.S. circuit this month before returning home to spend welcome time with his young family.
Despite a few sleepless nights there because of his baby son, William Harlan Haas, Jr., the 31-year-old father felt rejuvenated and it showed at the Memorial Tournament on Friday as he charged into an early two-shot lead in the second round.
"I've missed my last two cuts before this week, so certainly my expectations were a little lower than they were earlier this year," Haas told reporters after firing a five-under-par 67 in tough, windy conditions at Muirfield Village Golf Club.
"But I had a great two weeks off. I had a son and I've been having great fun with that at home with my wife. I think I'm just in a better frame of mind than I was three weeks ago after missing my second cut in a row."
Haas, who missed the cut at the Wells Fargo Championship and then the PGA Tour's flagship Players Championship, knew his mindset was in better shape when he did not react badly to his first bogey of the day on Friday, at the par-three 12th.
"I caught myself angry, but quickly I realized things are going good in my life right now," Haas smiled. Continued...

I have not personally put that exact wheel on a R32 but we put plenty of Eos/Passat wheels on Golf/Jettas no problem. They normally just have a little more "poke" which gives it a nice look when lowered.

University of Minnesota, Morris Again Named Best Value by Kiplinger's
Posted by Jenna Ray on Tuesday, Mar. 4, 2014
The University of Minnesota, Morris has been named one of the "25 Best College Values Under $30,000 a Year" and "30 Best Values in Small Colleges" by the editors of Kiplinger's Personal Finance. Among college values under $30,000, Morris is listed at #2 and is the most highly ranked Minnesota school included. Morris appears at #10 among small public colleges and is the only Minnesota school listed.
These rankings are part of Kiplinger's new College Finder tool, which complements Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine's annual Best Values in Public Colleges and Best Values in Private Colleges and reveals the best college values in each region, best values among different-sized campuses, and best values under $30,000 a year.
These recognitions come less than three months after Morris was named to Kiplinger's Personal Finance's list of 100 best values in public colleges for 2014. The ranking cites four-year schools that combine outstanding education with economic value. Morris ranked in the top 100 colleges because of its high four-year graduation rate, low average student debt at graduation, abundant financial aid, low sticker price, and overall value. It was one of only two Minnesota colleges on the list, the other being UMTC. Morris has been included on the best values list seven times.
"Kiplinger's bases its rankings on academics and affordability, qualities for which Morris is renowned," says Bryan Herrmann, director of admissions. "We are honored by these additional recognitions, and we will continue to work to make a Morris liberal arts education a superb financial value for students."
Kiplinger's assesses quality according to measurable standards, including the admission rate, the percentage of students who return for sophomore year, the student-faculty ratio, and the four-year graduation rate. Cost criteria include low sticker prices, abundant financial aid, and low average debt at graduation.

In-Depth Team Analysis
College Football Power Rankings
NEW for Football 2011

The Predictalator has played every 2011 college football regular season and bowl game 50,000 times before it's actually played (Read more about How This Works). Based on that analysis, we present projected conference standings and bowl results (below).
Season Summary
Bowl matchups below reflect our best projection based on the results from our predicted season. Rankings noted
next to each team are the teams' Power
Rankings. The score is the result of playing that specific matchup 50,000 times.
Alabama wins its second championship in the last three seasons - and the SEC's sixth
straight BCS title - by topping Oklahoma in the BCS Championship 56.5% of the time
and by a score of 27.6 - 23.1. Despite losing ultra-efficient quarterback Greg McElroy and receiving threat
Julio Jones, Alabama is stacked. The Crimson Tide appears to have the best offensive line, running back and
defense in the nation. I may be able to play quarterback for that team and still make a run at an SEC
In other BCS Bowls, the inaugural Big Ten Championship game winner, Wisconsin falls to
new Pac-12 champion Oregon in a Rose Bowl shootout 41-31. Boise
State, led by Kellen Moore, carries the flag of the BCS non-AQ schools into the Sugar Bowl where the
Broncos take out SEC runner-up South Carolina 27-25. ACC winner Florida
State shuts down Big East champion West Virginia 23-14 in the Orange Bowl.
And Big 12 runner-up Texas A&M spoils Brian Kelly and Notre Dame's return to
a BCS game with a 31-26 victory. Perennial BCS Bowl contender LSU and offensive
power house Oklahoma State may not make BCS Bowls despite being top ten teams (two teams from
the SEC and Big 12 are already in), but the Tigers and Cowboys turn the Cotton Bowl into the next best
matchup, one that LSU wins 37-30. Stumbling from last year's ranks, defending champion
Auburn faces Houston in the Liberty Bowl, while TCU makes
the Las Vegas Bowl against Cal. And finally, in an interesting re-match from last season's
Sugar Bowl, Ohio State and Arkansas lose their starting quarterbacks, yet
improve over the season to ultimately meet up in the Outback Bowl. Results for every bowl game are shown below the conference standings.

06/04/2017 Highlight: With the NHL Stanley Cup Finals nearing its conclusion, we can leverage our ResultsFinder tool to profile our playoffs-to-date numbers. Since the start of May, the Predictalator is an incredible 25-9 (73.5%) on all NHL selections, including money line sides, totals, and puck lines. An average $50 bettor would have profited $242; six times more than the cost of the full NHL Playoffs package.
The NBA Playoffs have featured more ups-and-downs than the NHL postseason; however, totals continue to produce at a solid clip for the Predictalator. Dating back to the beginning of April, the Predictalator has posted a stellar 53-41 (56.4%) record on all playable NBA totals, producing $351 in total profit for a $50 bettor.

What do a denim designer, a cherished New England beach and a dusty reel of an old home movie have in common? All get the story brewing in Blue Jeans and Coffee Beans.
Returning again to the sandy shores of Long Island Sound, the story follows a group of beach friends reuniting after a decade apart. But can these friends ever be who they were to each other one long-ago summer? Now one of this beach circle is dead; another unemployed and struggling in a tenuous marriage; another regretting a fateful decision; while one is missing a mother, ever seeking a connection she longs for.
To the backdrop of shingled cottages and a boarded-up beach hangout, to the soundtrack of whispering lagoon grasses and a vintage jukebox, Blue Jeans and Coffee Beans asks if we can really design our own lives or if our fate lies somewhere in the stars.

I don't know where to start...(145 Posts)
Please excuse this long, disjointed post. I'm sure everything I write here will be obvious, and old news to everyone here, but its a recent thing I'm struggling to deal with.
I've always considered myself a feminist, in that I believed in equal rights for women. I thought it was inherently wrong to discriminate based on gender, and I challenged it where I came across it. I have however, never been particularly active with regards to feminism. I've always known we live in a male dominated society, I've always known women can be discriminated against, I've always known women still face struggles based on simply being women and I've always challenged it where I can but for the most part I suppose I've been fairly passive. But for some reason, very recently, every small injustice has screamed out at me. I'm noticing, with increasing irritation, the unequal representation of the sexes in the media, the unequal opportunities presented to men vs women, the gaping inequality in family life.
A few weeks ago I was watching QI. It suddenly dawned on me the entire panel was male.
Just before Christmas we were watching Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, and about a quarter of the way into it I realised every performer had been male.
I recently read an article in the Guardian about female representation in film, and was introduced to the Bechdel test. I was astonished to read what a huge percentage of films don't pass this ridiculously simple test.
Last night I watched a Horizon programme on asteroids, and was saddened to notice that not a single female scientist was questioned in the programme at all.
Today we went to watch The Hobbit, which I noticed also did not pass the Bechdel test.
I commented on Facebook last night about the Horizon programme, and was absolutely expecting one or more people to make some lame sexist joke and I was proven right on the very first comment. Depressingly, out of all the comments in the discussion that followed, the one that got the most likes was that initial 'joke'.
Today after the film I commented to my brother about the Bechdel test, and was surprised to find he scoffed at me over applying this test to a book written so long ago. I tried to explain I wasn't thinking about The Hobbit in isolation, but as part of media in general. He scoffed some more, rolled his eyes, and made me feel like I was being a whiny bitch by bringing it up at all. My own brother! A man I have always considered intelligent, respectful, liberal and a feminist himself.
I think the thing that has saddened me most about my recent, well, epiphany I suppose, is the reactions from the males in my life when I raise the topic. Men I have up until now considered, like my brother, to be intelligent, respectful men who want an equal society. I guess my eyes are opening to how much that may not be true, how much they are indoctrinated themselves.
The only male who has shared my reactions has been my boyfriend. I have seriously never loved him so much as over these past few days.
I guess what I'm saying is, I need a place to discuss these issues, to understand them and speak to people who share the same beliefs. I need to find out more, and do more. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good feminist resources, or communities? Until now I've held a passive interest in feminism, and somehow suddenly that doesn't seem enough.
Absolutely Festivia
Privilege = not having to worry about this shit
"What's the problem?"
There speaks privilege, eh.
I was raised in a predominantly male household with attitudes that belonged in the 19th century (older parents), my father told me I was at university so I could educate my children because I wasn't expected to have a career, and yet, I still feel more comfortable taking a back seat even with that awareness. I have no confidence that people want to hear my views.
One of my best examples was a debate I had with my brothers about some philosophical issue when my eldest brother patronisingly said, 'I can see you've thought very hard about this Fries...', and I realised he had absolutely no respect for my opinion.
I'm now mum to two boys and already see the attitude that girls are different and somehow not equal in my eldest, it is as demoralising for me now as it was for my mother.
WRT Dr Christian whatever, I too have never seen an episode of Embarrassing Bodies yet I know exactly who he is because I've seen him on various panel shows. So the 'men are more funny than women' concept doesn't hold true in this instance, because he's a doctor not a comedian. And yes, perhaps the female doctors are not interested in developing a tv career, or any other 'what if' scenerios x a million.
To go back to what the OP was saying, I agree that having a feminist epiphany can be a really difficult experience
I think what feels worse for me is that I thought I already knew this stuff. I was raised with unbelievably brilliant female role models, I was rarely restricted with any ambition for being female and if I ever was believe me I called them out on it, even as a child before I had any real concept of discrimination or feminism. I think perhaps I became complacent? It was so normal and obvious to me perhaps I just started assuming everyone thought this way because it was so, well, obvious!
Festivia Thank you for the link, it was a very interesting read. I too, am sure I enjoy my white/straight/British privilege at the expense of others every day, all I can do is try and be as respectful as I can to others and minimise the effect where possible.
FamilyGuy if you accept we do not live in a balanced environment how can you accuse my noticing of this imbalance as nothing more than confirmation bias? Yes, that phenomena does exist and to some degree this may have happened here. However, as noted by other posters there is abundant evidence that men are portrayed more often than women in media, men are discussed on their merits on achievements rather than appearance or marital status.
If you can't see that women are under represented despite specific examples being given then I don't know what to say to you. As other posters have said, female under representation in media is a known phenomena and there is abundant evidence proving it. It is not something I have made up. It's also ridiculously unlikely that female presenters and guests are just so beyond busy that they can't make time in their schedules to appear on television. Busy doing what I wonder? It ain't promotional tv appearances that's for sure.
I don't think anybody here has accused men of deliberately excluding women. They don't need to deliberately do it, it simply happens by proxy - and that is the problem. In the same way no one deliberately excludes men from childcare but government policy, law, workplace ,societal and cultural expectations mean men tend not to be the ones who are primary caregivers to their own children.
QI still massively under represents women, despite their ONE episode in nine years which had an all female guest list. I could have used any panel show I enjoy watching in place of QI; Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Mock The Week, Have I Got News For You, Eight out of Ten Cats, Big Fat Quiz of the Year, ad infinitum, which all predominantly feature male presenters, male team captains, and male guests.
If its a default choice then it's an unconscious choice and therefore oppression is not a factor. So where is the problem? This statement succinctly sums up the problem. You've lost the debate with this and haven't even realised.
Gussiegrips great post! I'm a great fan of Jo caulfield - loved her on grumpy old women I think I'm a grumpy old woman actually.
Just looked up Janey Godley on YouTube as I'd never heard of her - she's great isn't she - I might make a special effort to watch QI if she was on there
And finally, I was just flicking through the channels at 1am (as you do when dh gone to bed and you're staying up late on your own) and I came across an episode of Embarrassing Bodies. I was right to never have never watched it - I was confronted with some poor blokes willy. Oh yes. And Dr Christian - not a female in sight so far.
Ah, ok, now Dr Pixie is in a bit on obesity and the gym - narrated by the other woman. Mmm - the analytical part of me wants to tie the male/female airtime on the show, but I think I'll more likely switch over...
waving backatcha
the thing that muddles me is that, how come, after a certain age, it's ok to metion prolapses - in female only company?
At LEAST one in three of us reading this thread are a bit leaky.
How come we are still
putting up with "that's the way it is the inequalities in medicine/law/everyblardything the representation on our tellies?
Seriously - if you don't find it that funny...and, the people you do find funny need to prove that they are air-time worthy...what needs to happen
buggered if I know, but I can't help but think that if we get the "fluffy" media jobs to sort-it-out the the "other" jobs like medicine and law etc will follow suit
I'd, personally, love the odd facial hair joke. I'd raise zillioins for movember, were it socially acceptable.
ba boom chaaa
Hi gussiegrips from me too, I was intrigued by your name & checked your profile.
Having a laugh & pelvic lifts are intrinsically linked after a certain age I guess.
{Off-topic. I've been lurking on this throught-provoking thread but I've just got to delurk to wave at GussieGrips! }
It isn't white male priviledge, it's just male priviledge. It was based on a similar study about white privilege (which I enjoy on a daily basis - I am not that blinkered that I think I am Perpetually Oppressed) but the one I linked to was just male.
Thanks for the link on male privilege - it's useful ammo in a discussion I'm having on Facebook.
FamilyGuy why is privilege outdated? The points on that document are still largely true. Look at the power in society - who is it held by? For the most part, by white men.
Being a man still confers benefits vs being a woman. (I do realise it doesn't take into account other factors that confer / deny privilege, such as race, class and sexuality).
It's ok, I've already been through that questionaire and it doesn't work with my experience in this country or my industry. It certainly doesn't reflect the views of myself or many people I know and work with. I posted a link supporting this (and by many women) in Pinkypoop's thread. Here it is again. It's worth a watch IMHO
I'm not saying it doesn't exist but I'm also not a white male and the theory of white male privilege is something I have either been immune to or have yet to encounter in any meaningful way.
I'm not trolling or trying to pull down the walls of feminism but genuinely think the concept of priviledge is becoming outdated. How can it not be given equality is changing in the UK?
But yes, I understand that being priviledged I can say that it doesn't exist
Bloody hell, I go away for a day or two and look what's happened! Quite disappointed to see the arguing a few pages back. Have only had chance to skim read, will be back later when I can properly read all the responses.
I would just like to say though Family Guy, the examples I cited were not some sudden act of me noticing these things happen. I have always been aware of gender bias in society in general, not just the media, but for some reason (which I am not yet able to articulate) the cumulative effect of these incidents hit me like a ton of bricks where it hasn't before. Believe me, I've spent my life noticing that most people represented in the media are men. You, by your own admission, have not. It's called Male Privilege, I think I mentioned it in one of my first posts.
Well maybe we should be campaigning for her to be on QI.
I actually don't watch it. I can't tolerate a bunch of smug willy-wavers laughing at each other's jokes, especially when one of them is Stephen Fry, whom I only seem to be able to tolerate in Blackadder nowadays. If there were more women on QI I might turn it on occasionally.
<Realises with shock that I've never actually seen a whole episode. Could never sit through it.>
re. the humour...
In my limited experience - and, skooz the generalisations...
women laugh more at things they identify with. We are much more team spirited than men, we are more empathetic and so jokes based around social awkwardness, embarrassment or "I was so sleep deprived x, y and z happened" work a treat.
Men laugh more at situations where there's a butt to the joke. So, they like funny stories where there's clearly an idiot, they like to feel superior to the eejit who did WHAT?
They also revel in pure grossness - I have a prop that's a really nasty knitted bag (it's an anatomically accurate bag that looks like female genitals. It's called "the snatchel" . The premise is that I have teenage sons who are becoming sexually active, so I knitted them a bag to keep their condoms in, hoping to get them to develop a pavlovian response between female genitalia and condoms) which the men just applaud. It's got a punchline that upstages me every time, if it's a male heavy audience.
Men do find women funny, but, they are EXPECTING to be told off by women on stage, there's many female comedians who are gay or divorced, or both. Male audiences are super-sensitive to critisism.
The bookers and promoters though? They like pretty girls who say "cunt" Because, it's not too much of a gamble to put a pretty girl on stage.
I know that Susan Calman was told "shame you don't look a bit more like Zoe Lyons, love" by a promoter "you can be gay, or you can be fat, but you can't be both"
Shocked? Yep. Well, what's worse, is that the promoter is a woman.
Tell you what, you lot would love Janey Godley. There's a feminist and a half, cleverly disguised as a "what, did you lot think the cleaner had wandered onto the stage?" She's the only comedian who's made a rape joke that I've laughed at - she makes it work because she's (sadly) got personal experience of rape. To turn her situation into humour, and use it the way she does, and make good money at it - genius. She's a real trailblazer for older women - but, you'll not see her on QI.
Thanks, fries for pointing me to this thread, am loving it (seewhaddadidthur?)
Here's my post from the ~"comedian's" thread. Budge up, I'm inviting myself into your gang...
I do a wee bit of stand up as a hobby. Not enough women to chat to backstage, tis true.
It's a mix of reasons - I am usually told (by men, obviously) "women just aren't funny, you just go on about periods and stuff..."
whilst young, skinny, white guys in tight t-shirts and falling down jeans going on about fiddling with their bits is just so witty and original
And, to be fair, there are a depressing number of women presenting themselves as pretty, ditsy, and "ohmaigawsh, I just said "cunt", how surprised are you?" Ehm, not very, love. Slightly disappointed in you, but, you're getting booked, so what do you care?
It's changing, there are some really very funny people on the live circuit...but, to make the break to telly you have to slog on the circuit for a long time. And, that's got the same childcare issues as any other job, so lots of women drop out, same as any other job.
There are lots of women writing for the telly. For, you know, the young guys in tight white t-shirts.
Anyhoo - in no particular order, just as they pop into my pretty little head, women you might have seen on the telly.
Susan Calman - clever, quick, flirty
Janey Godley - brutal, hilarious, kind of awesome
Jo Caulfield - sardonic, bitch, great recalls
Jojo Sutherland - great story teller, really fast, don't heckle.
two women in the Amused moose final - both very good. And, both Scottish, Anna Devitt and Fern Brady. As are, ehm, all of the ones I've listed above.
Perhaps the question should be, why are only Scottish women funny? it's because that's where I live, so these are the people I've seen, sorry about that
The chat I hear at the school gate is way more brutal and cutting and fast and funny than anything I hear anywhere else. But, until the comedy bosses realise there's money to be made from making women laugh about stuff they identify with, you might as well get used to patiently listening to "and then I raped her"
smashing article, feel free to debate
Festivia I love the Shakesville blog.
There are the occasions that menintellectual men, clever men, engaged meninsist on playing devil's advocate, desirous of a debate on some aspect of feminist theory or reproductive rights or some other subject generally filed under the heading: Women's Issues. These intellectual, clever, engaged men want to endlessly probe my argument for weaknesses, want to wrestle over details, want to argue just for funand they wonder, these intellectual, clever, engaged men, why my voice keeps raising and why my face is flushed and why, after an hour of fighting my corner, hot tears burn the corners of my eyes. Why do you have to take this stuff so personally? ask the intellectual, clever, and engaged men, who have never considered that the content of the abstract exercise that's so much fun for them is the stuff of my life.
So true. A few these intellectual, clever engaged men frequent FWR.
StuntGirl, your OP reminded me of this brilliant post which struck a huge chord with me when I first read it:
Same here grimbletart with the women only repartee. Relaxed, funny, good stuff, but when men join our mix it's uncomfortable for me. Conditioning here.
As for all female humour on a panel show, if only they could replace the loose women with some comediennes .....but I don't think it would attract a mixed demographic in the same way as the male dominated shows.
I wonder how many men currently watch loose women.
I've worked in pretty much male environments except in one job where it was the reverse.
I've roared with laughter in the pub with my male workmates.
But honestly, the funniest moments I remember were when, in my female dominated job, we got together late on a Friday for drink before going home. I can still recall weeping with laughter at the repartee, observational humour and the sheer "ain't life a blast" humour of those women only moments.
Why do women laugh less at other women? -
For me, many women comedians seem uncertain/nervous in the spotlight, it may be transferrencet but I feel uncomfortable watching it, just as I feel uncomfortable when I watch male comedians lose it on stage (Rhod Gilbert -thinks shouting makes his jokes funnier, Russell Kane-seems to be having a public breakdown, I find both these guys smart & funny when they calm down & relax - I'm sure they'll be pleased to know! )
I like Sandi Toksvig, Ronni Ancona, Victoria Coren, Sarah Millican, Zoe Lyons, the late great Linda Smith, Katherine Ryan... there are plenty of good observational comedians who are woman
On panel shows I've often noticed that men bounce jokes off each other in a laddish way and it takes a strong woman to join in with that when they're in a minority. It's like a boys' club, or the cliquey mums at school.
Apparently I'm hilarious in RL, but I still let my brothers finish my jokes if they're around...... Like many woman I have been conditioned to take a back seat. I also worry that some male friends may mistake humorous badinage for flirting, I assume that's why they look so scared.
The default setting (whether conscious or unconscious ) for the token female on QI seems to be Jo Brand.
McMooncup - I can't believe the Royle Family aired a rape joke I didn't actually watch it (but usually do). I was going to try and catch it on iplayer, don't think I'll bother.
Actually, after seeing that youtube clip I concede that there are fewer women on QI for the reasons given in the video. Whether that research is valid or conclusive is another matter but I guess we now know that there are purposely fewer women than men for "entertainment" reasons. Whether there is a sexist undercurrent or the producer genuinely believes the research we don't know but it's possible he could be using the research to give him reason to just throw in a few token females.
Re: the default thing. Default setting to me is an automatic action/event. Thus thoughtless. But you're right, if someone is conciously making a default choice then this is bad.
Are you asian? I am an ethnic minority and am well aware that asian males are raised to believe they are superior. BTW I was not and my daughters are not conditioned in any way. However, I do notice with my asian friends that their wives are generally subservient. Now they are living here though they are very clear that their daughters will not be conditioned either.
That's an interesting POV. Thanks
I guess we just see it differently but are getting into an area where it's not exactly black/white. I don't see it as a cumulative thing as that, to me, is a generalisation. It may be true to say that men are sexist but this detracts from the many that aren't. So who are you working against? Males en masse or a specific group? The trouble is, by trying to liberate women in the media you cannot use a cover all and bulldoze the innocent.
To me it's ridiculous to enforce a 50/50 split for the sake of an ideal. If you would indulge me for a moment; let's just say that the QI research was 100% and that women do actually laugh less at women. What does this say. One question that springs to mind is why women don't laugh as much at their own sex but that would be another PhD. If this really were true though, then are you suggesting that you would produce a show, knowing it would be less entertaining just to make sure that equality was satisfied. To me that's insane as surely the objective for any such show is to entertain. So then, what about non white males/females and other sexual orientations? Julian Clary was on the show but was he a token gesture? I guess having Stephen Fry as the presenter already ensures some balance, as did Clare Balding.
I suppose I'm guilty of seeing more good in people than is justified. To me an innocent act is exactly that. All one can do is to educate and hope history does not repeat itself. What else can you do? Beat someone into feminist ways?
If, in good will/nature, you act and it is deemed to be sexist/racist then I still fail to see how you can chastise someone for their actions. I certainly would not but maybe I have more liberal views.
But I can see that it is the whole "good will/nature" bit that you don't believe exists and that's fair enough.
I think it's quite overt sexism.

I also completely fail to see why unconscious sexism is less damaging.
Surely it is worse?
You can correct someone's conscious prejudices, or argue against them, but it's much harder to shake something that is so ingrained it has ceased to be a consciously-reinforced prejudice.
