E-safety is high on our agenda here at Model CIW School. As we are living in an increasingly digital age the importance of children understanding how to stay safe online is a primary concern. As well as delivering a planned and progressive E-Safety curriculum, we are working towards the 360˚ Safe Mark for E-safety. A Police Liaison Officer also visits school to support the learning within the classroom, and to ensure that safeguarding messages are shared with the children and staff.
Copies of our Acceptable Use Agreements can be found in 'Documents'. It is important that all pupils sign and agree to these terms.
Each class follows the SMART rules for online safety. Following a whole school competition, 2 winning posters were chosen and now appear in ever Foundation Phase and Key Stage 2 class.
We would like share with you some useful tips in relation to being E-safe when using digital devices at home:
Children are continually developing their ICT skills in readiness for our technological world which is forever advancing. Together we hope to ensure our children have consistent and embedded E-Safety knowledge and understanding.
This year our Digital Champions created a logo to promote Online Safety as part of a competition for Safer Internet Day 2017. Our logo was shortlisted and we attended an awards ceremony in the Senedd, Cardiff. We were thrilled to have been awarded 'Highly Commened'. Our logo is now on display in every classroom and around the school to serve as a visual reminder of Online Safety.
Following our success, we were asked by Childnet to participate in a photo campaign to promote the importance of keeping details safe when online. Digital Champions created 'an emoji quiz' which showed a SMART rule. Have a look at the photos above and see if you can work out the rule?
We'd love to hear from you. Call us, email us or complete our contact form.

ENTRIES are now being accepted for the 2014 York Charity Cricket Cups competition.
The competition is open to all clubs within a 25-mile radius of York's Lendal Post Office.
The competition is the oldest and longest running evening knockout tournament in the York area and is entering its 85th year.
Predominantly, the competition is supported by clubs from the York & District Senior League and York Vale League, with some clubs from the Wetherby League plus Yorkshire League stalwarts York.
Committee members hope that more clubs from the Wetherby League and Pilmoor and Foss evening leagues will be tempted to enter.
Sponsorship from Minster Engineering Ltd and Stephensons Estate Agents means the committee is able to offer prize money to winners and runners-up, while also raising about £1,000 each season for distribution to local charities.
It has achieved that target in each of the last 18 seasons.
Further information is available by phoning honorary secretary Alan Robinson on 01759 373714.

A/N: Written to honor and celebrate Charles, whom I only ever knew by association. I also hope that sometime it might bring a smile for Carrie. Set post-series, during SGA's 5th season, just before Enemy At the Gate. This fic focuses on General Hammond's passing, hence it gets a "character death" warning, but it is in canon.
Over on GW we have been asked to keep away the sadness if at all possible, despite our hurting for our friend's loss. Hopefully this will help.
Meaning of Life Stuff . . .
Stargate Command
Colorado Springs, CO
Sam stepped through the wormhole and smiled as she registered the familiar clank of her boots on the metal ramp, a sound that would always mean "coming home" to her. Still in her tan BDU's and dusty from her time in the windy, open facility she'd just left, she felt almost as if she were returning from a routine mission, except that nothing about today's summons to the SGC was routine. Sam glanced at her watch. She'd gotten the relayed message to report ASAP to the SGC just under twenty minutes ago and had dropped everything to comply, quickly handing off projects as she ran to the Stargate. She wasn't necessarily panicked about the return-to-base order; while unusual, it wasn't something that triggered any alarms for her, but she had been apprehensive. Looking around more carefully, the normalcy of the gateroom and the control room served to set her initial fears to rest. Whatever the reason she'd been called back, it wasn't because Jack was injured in any way. Thank God.
She glanced around again quickly, noting the absence of defense teams, and relaxed a bit more. Whatever it was also didn't appear involve a threat to the base via the gate. And, obviously, the gate itself was in working order. Hitching her daypack higher, Sam looked up at the personnel in the control room, wondering why she didn't see Landry in place and noting that Chief Harriman wasn't manning the computer. Again, not usual for this time of day, but not too far out of the ordinary either.
The minute she was clear of the ramp the gate snapped off, followed immediately by the sounds of the giant ring dialing again. Sam turned toward the left-hand door and smiled as Colonel Mike Reynolds strode toward her; her smile turned quickly to a frown as she caught sight of his pack and gear bag. Sam flicked her gaze up to the control room once more, wondering again where Landry was and why he wasn't there to see a team leave. Then she realized that there was no team behind Mike. Just him and a gear bag. Sam studied him as he approached. She didn't sense any great urgency from the man before her, nor in the general atmosphere of the room, but something was obviously up. "Hey, Mike. Heading out?"
Reynolds nodded. "Yup. I'm filling in for you at the new Alpha." Correctly reading Sam's confused look, Reynolds shrugged. "Couldn't tell ya. Orders just came. You're wanted here, so I'm headed there."
"Where's Landry," Sam asked as the last chevron snapped into place.
Sam nodded and stepped aside, giving Mike room to position himself just as the wormhole kawooshed open. She gave him a final wave before leaving and taking the steps up to the control room. The sergeant on duty waved her up toward the briefing room and Sam acknowledged him with a nod. She took the steps to the command level two at a time and strode into the briefing room to find Chief Harriman on the phone. The Chief waved her into what would always be to her General Hammond's office.
" . . . –stand, sir. No. He's on a 130 somewhere over Nebraska. Do you want me to . . . Yes, sir. Colonel Carter's just arrived and–"
Sam closed the door to the office behind her as she approached the desk, quickly picking up the phone and pressing the flashing button. She dropped into the large leather chair as she spoke. "Carter."
"Hello Colonel. Paul Davis."
Sam frowned. Paul sounded . . . tense. She could have sworn his voice just cracked. Sam felt her shoulders tightening in response, her insides going cold. She slid forward on the chair and rested her elbows on the desk, supporting the suddenly heavy phone in her hand. "Paul? What's going on?"
Please, not Jack. Not Jack. Please. Not Jack.
"Colonel, I . . . I don't know how to say this . . .."
Stargate Command
Colorado Springs, CO
Sam numbly acknowledged the voice on the other end of the line as he bid her goodbye, barely noticing that it took her three tries to get the handset back into the cradle. She brought her trembling hands to her cheeks, peripherally aware of how cold she suddenly was.
It couldn't be. They had to have it wrong. There was . . . no. They were wrong.
Fists clenched to control her shaking hands, Sam rose to her feet, swaying as the words washed through her again. He's gone. We haven't contacted General O'Neill, he's inbound to Peterson now, the trip was already scheduled. I wanted you to hear it from . . . a friend . . ..
"No." Sam shook her head. "Oh, God. No." Tears threatened, burning white-hot against the back of her eyes. She flattened her hands on the desk and bent her head to catch her breath. To fight back the steadily rising waves of nausea that threatened. Straightening, she found a spot on the wall and focused, carefully and deliberately, on breathing in and out.
In and out.
One breath at a time. As she so often did, and was unfortunately so very good at, she began to set it aside. Easing the grief and pain to a corner, she let the command part of her brain step forward. Things had to done. Decisions to be made.
People to call.
A woman's heart to break.
She took two shaking steps around the desk and then stopped, sinking into one of the visitor's chairs in the room as the reality of the rest of the conversation sank in. Jack. Oh, God. He doesn't know. Won't know until . . . "Chief!"
"Colonel?" Walter Harriman arrived so quickly that Sam wondered if he'd been standing outside of the office door. Then she wondered if he knew. She gave him a quick, sharp look and realized that no, he didn't yet know. None of them did.
"Chief, have you ordered the car yet for General O'Neill?" When Harriman shook his head she nodded. "Good. Fine. Don't. I'll be . . ." Sam took a deep breath. "I'll be picking him up, so I'll need his ETA." She knew it was unusual that she, acting CO of the SGC, would make the trip to retrieve a visiting General officer, but she didn't care. She couldn't risk having him hear the news from anyone else. Wouldn't take that chance. George Hammond had been too important to him–to both of them–for him to get the news this way. Then she looked again at Harriman. This fine NCO had served under Hammond since day one. Had grown with him, with the command, and demonstrated time and again his competence. His dedication. His love of both country and his team. He, too, deserved to know, privately, what had happened. Sam cleared her throat and blinked back a fresh wave of tears.
"Chief," she paused, then started again. "Walter." She watched Harriman's face soften slightly at the use of his first name. When she'd begun stepping in, first for Reynolds as base Second, and then for Landry when necessary, she'd moved away from personal, informal terms of address she'd used for so long. She modeled her style on Jack to some degree, though she'd chosen to go with addressing her colleagues by grade rather than last name. It was appropriate . . . most of the time. The move from 'Walter to 'Chief' had been necessary for them both, just as the reverse was true now.
Harriman gently cleared his throat and Sam realized he was waiting for her to speak. "Sorry, I, ah . . . sit down, please." Sam waved to the other visitor's chair adjacent to the one in which she was sitting.
The surprise on the Chief's face was clear and Sam realized that this, none of this, was going to get easier. Not anytime soon.
"Walter, that was Major Davis on the phone," she began unnecessarily. Sam ran a hand through her hair, trying to focus. "Sorry, 'course you know that. He, ah . . . oh damn." Despite her steely resolve, tears slipped past her guard and down her cheeks. Instantly a soft white handkerchief appeared in her hand, pressed gently to her fingers until she took it. Sam accepted it gratefully and dabbed at the dampness, appreciating the subtle scent of Old Spice on the cloth. Just like . . . Sam took a long, steadying breath and dove in. "Walter, Major Davis called to tell me, to let us know that . . . that . . . General Hammond died this morning." She forced the last five words out in a rush and waited, her fingers clenching the damp kerchief he'd loaned her.
Walter froze before her, the expression of gentle concern for her draining from his features, replaced by a shocking paleness. His mouth dropped open in a soundless "Oh," and his bright blue eyes swam behind the silver steel-rimmed glasses as he struggled for control. Sam reached out and clasped his hand in support, support for them both. "Oh, no . . ." Walter's whispered gasp wrenched at her heart.
"Yes." Sam squeezed his hand again. "I'm sorry. I know how . . .. I know," she finished sadly. They sat together in silence for a long minute, each lost in their thoughts of the man who'd mentored them both. Sam, though she was aware of every minute ticking by, sat quietly, letting Walter absorb the news as best as he could. Sam watched with pride as he did just as she had done, controlling the pain, putting it aside and focusing on the now.
Finally, after clearing his throat twice, Walter looked up her, his eyes swimming. He slipped his hand from under hers and slowly stood until he was at attention before her, his eyes focused, as hers had been, on an invisible spot on the wall. "What . . . what do you need, Colonel?"
I need for this to not be true. For it to be a dream. A terrible nightmare. Sam sighed and stood as well. "We'll need a meeting right away with the senior officers. All of the team leaders and all of the department Heads. A-sap. Then, as soon as I return with Ja– with General O'Neill, we'll want an all-staff call in the Gateroom."
"What about his daughter?"
"Jack and I," Sam answered, giving up any pretense about her relationship with her former CO, "will inform her. That was one of Major Davis' reasons for calling me directly. We'll stop by the house on the way back from Peterson." Sam paused and took a breath, again forcing her emotions down. "He was with him," she whispered and then looked away as understanding dawned on the Chief's face. "Davis. He was with General Hammond. They were at a breakfast meeting, and–" Sam choked back a sob and straightened suddenly. "Walter, I need a minute or two."
Walter nodded, his eyes still on hers. "Understood." He nodded sharply and turned away, then paused by the door. "Colonel? What do you need?" He asked again, and this time the emphasis was clearly on her.
And this time, Sam gave voice to her thoughts. "Me? Walter, I need . . . to wake up."
"Yes, ma'am, me too."
"Thank you, Walter." Sam glanced at her watch. "I'll meet the seniors and the Heads in the briefing room. Everyone's there, no excuses. And Walter? Let's keep a lid on this for now. I don't want the news out before we tell folks."
Again Harriman nodded, then he turned and left the room. Sam heard the door click closed behind him and then sank again into the chair. Her eyes drifted to the brass nameplates mounted on the far wall. She didn't know whose idea it had been, but when Hammond had retired his brass nameplate had been retired to a place of honor. Jack's had followed not long after. Someday Landry's would be added to the chain. Sam rose and walked over to the first plate, tracing her fingers over the name engraved in the cool metal.
Lt. Gen. George Charles Hammond
Commander, SGC
Sam barely noticed the brass plate below Hammond's engraved with her husband's name and grade. She had eyes only for the Hammond's. Walter's voice came over the PA system calling those to the meeting that she'd requested and Sam stepped back from the wall, her fingers trailing one last time across the shiny brass surface before she dropped her hand to her side.
She had five minutes. Five minutes to gather herself, to collect her thoughts.
Five minutes to mourn.
Peterson AFB
Colorado Springs, CO
The trip to Peterson passed in a blur, and Sam was grateful that it was still fairly early in the morning. She was passed through security with a minimum of fuss, sure that Walter had smoothed the way for her. She drove across the base toward the flight line, her mind on the meeting she'd just left. The officers and civilians that she'd met with in the briefing room had reacted with varying degrees of shock and sadness. Most had worked with Hammond, only one or two had come on board since he'd moved to Washington, but everyone knew of his impact at the SGC, and everyone was feeling the loss. As she thought again of what she'd said to them all, Sam felt her throat closing up once more.
No. Now is not the time. Sam showed her ID to the NCO at the chain-link fence that enclosed the flight line and eased the car into position about one hundred yards inside. The perks of picking up a General, especially the Head of Homeworld Security, included positioning the pickup car fairly close to where he'd be disembarking. As the C-130 lumbered to a noisy standstill, Sam took another long, steadying breath and opened the door. She left her cap inside as everyone did on the line, instead standing at a relaxed parade rest beside the nondescript black car. She'd chosen to go with a vehicle from the motor pool, knowing she'd have less hassle on the line here. She also knew that Jack wouldn't realize it was she until he got close.
It took forever, it seemed, for the props to wind down and for the forward doors to open. Finally she saw the crew chief swing wide the door and drop the ladder, then felt her breath catch as a familiar figure appeared in the framed entrance. Sam watched as he jumped down from the last rung, his movements perhaps not as catlike as they'd been in the field, but still limber enough. He exchanged handshakes and salutes with the crew chief, then looked around for his ride. Spotting the nondescript car behind Sam, he lifted the small duffle over his shoulder and began walking toward her. Sam knew the precise second when he realized it was her and not a regular driver. His steps paused, then quickened. His face lit up, making Sam's heart ache. Ache with love, and ache with pain. For the pain she was about to share with him.
As Jack drew near his expression changed from light happiness at seeing her to wary concern when she didn't return his smile. She watched as the familiar mask slid in place and she knew he was doing what she had before, steeling himself for bad news. "Sam?" He asked as he drew near enough to be heard.
Sam looked up at him, happy to see him despite the news she bore. "Jack." She gave him a weak smile and waved him toward the car. "Not here. Get in and I'll explain."
Colorado Springs
Sam Carter/Jack O'Neill residence
Sam settled herself onto the couch with a soft, grateful sigh. It was over. One of the longest days of her life was over. Then she sighed again. This day might be over, but the rest of it was not. Not by far. They still had to get through the funeral and interment, but that wasn't for another two days. Sam closed her eyes and tried to put out of mind the minutiae that would come with the event in two days. Like her dad's service, but . . . more. General Hammond might not have been a serving, active officer when he died, but he had been a special advisor to the President; therefore there would be . . . more. Lots more. And Sam was extremely grateful that she was not responsible for it all. Or, really, any of it, any more.
With the news of Hammond's sudden passing, everything had shifted. Landry was heading back right now, and Jack was going to handle the arrangements, leaving Sam free to command until Landry's return. She had only to worry about keeping the planet safe, Jack had the hard job.
"You okay?" Jack's soft voice pulled Sam from her thoughts.
"Yeah, just tired." She lifted a hand in invitation and felt a wave of love and belonging flow through her as he slid into place beside her, his hand warm and soft around hers. She gave him a tiny smile and rested her head against his shoulder. "I'm . . . God, Jack, I'm so glad you're here."
"Me too," was his quiet response.
Sam lifted her head and looked at him, waiting for him to meet her gaze. "Not just 'cause I need you, you know. I'm glad you're here for you, too. I . . . well, I wouldn't have wanted you to get the news from anyone else." She squeezed his hand.
Jack leaned over and brushed his lips across her forehead. "I know. Me too," he said again.
Tucking her feet up under her, she shifted until she was leaning on him. Jack's arm lifted and encircled her, the move so automatic neither noticed. "What's next? How's Karen?" She asked, referring to Hammond's daughter. They'd left General's daughter's house after just an hour because Karen was due down at the girls' school to be the "classroom mom," and Sam still had to inform the SGC as a whole. When they'd gotten home Jack had followed up with Karen on the phone and had been talking with her while Sam was showering. She felt Jack's shrug against her shoulder.
"She said she'd call tomorrow, and she's doing as well as you'd expect, I think. Tom's taken the girls to dinner to give her time to . . . well, you know."
"I do." Though it had been two years, Sam still felt the raw, aching pain of her dad's passing. "It won't go away for her, not for a long time. Sometimes I'll think of something Dad would find funny and–"
"Yeah. I know."
And Sam knew he did. Knew that twelve years later, Jack did the same with Charlie. No, it never got easier. The initial pain might fade, but the ache would be there for a long time to come.
"Did you call Cass?" Jack's head was bent low, his lips close to hear ear.
Sam nodded. "Yes. She's coming home tomorrow. She told me not to pick her up, that she'd rent a car or call a cab. She'll come right to the SGC from the airport. She was . . . okay, I guess. I'm worried that she's just waiting for something to happen to all of us."
Behind her, Jack blew out a long sigh, making Sam's upper body rise and fall with the motion. He tightened his grip on her briefly. "You know we can't protect her from it never happening."
"I know, but–" Sam shrugged again. "Can't help wanting to."
"It's a parent thing. Doesn't matter how old they are, I think."
"I'm glad she's not driving tomorrow." Sam felt more than saw Jack's nod of agreement. They fell silent and then Jack slowly began to chuckle, the sound and vibration running through Sam. She twisted in his arms and pushed herself further down onto the couch until her head rested on his lap, his arm lying lightly across her chest and stomach. "What?"
Jack, his eyes bright with tears shook his head. "Just remembering something. You know that time loop?"
Sam narrowed her eyes at him. He'd confessed to his actions during the loop to her late one night not long after he'd given her his ring. "When you kissed me senseless in the control room?"
"Yes." Jack chuckled again and then looked down at her, his expression wistful. "It was, I don't know, the sixteenth or seventeenth time we'd done that damned loop and reset. Could've been more, lost track. Anyway, T and I took the loop off and played. Actually, we took several off. But on this one . . . well, let's just say that nobody holds a longer driving record than yours truly."
Puzzled, Sam could only stare at him. "Driving?"
"Golf, Carter. Golf. Only thing worthwhile about the hockey offseason. You mentioned 'driving' and . . . well, I'd forgotten about that part of the loop 'til just now."
"What does that have to do with . . . wait, driving? You didn't." She peered up at him in disbelief. "You opened a wormhole and . . . what do you call it?"
"Shot a boomer off the tee."
"You didn't."
"I did."
"To where?"
"Alaris." Jack's voice was as smug as his expression. "T figures it was a couple of billion light years."
"To say the least." Sam began laughing softly with him. "Did you get caught?"
"Oh, yes." Jack's grin slipped a little. "We'd done it, I dunno, for four loops, maybe? The last time I was lined up and Ha–" Jack paused and cleared his throat. "Hammond shouted something along the lines of 'Colonel O'Neill, what the hell are you doing?"
"Yes," and now Jack was slightly indignant. "And in the middle of my backswing!"
Despite the pervasive sadness, Sam dissolved into weak giggles. She could just see Jack, dressed in his Payne Stewart best, lining up for a shot when . . . "Poor baby." Sam lifted a hand to his cheek, glad the memory made him smile. "Remember when we went back to 1969? His hands shook as he touched mine. You know, when he uncuffed us in the back of the truck?"
"Yeah, he called you 'Miss.'"
Sam smiled. "Yeah." Sam thought fondly of the then-Lieutenant Hammond. He was so young, so willing to trust.
A long moment passed, each lost in their own memories of the man who'd had such an influence on them, personally and professionally. Finally, Sam asked him, "Remember Hathor?" She watched and felt Jack shudder.
"Yeah. Who could forget?"
"Well, the first time, you know, with Daniel? When she was on base? I, ah, I–"
"Conked him on the head."
Sam's eyes widened. "You knew?"
"'Course I knew." Jack reached up and brushed a strand of hair from Sam's forehead. He tipped his head to gaze into her brown eyes. "Carter, I was the base Second, you know. It was my job to know."
"I know. Just didn't realize you read all those reports."
"Not all of 'em." Jack tapped her nose and then returned his hand to her belly, his fingers slipping under Sam's cotton shirt and lovingly caressing her belly. "Just the ones that featured you. Especially when it featured you doing something juicy, like you taking out your CO."
"Ah." Sam felt another smile steal across her face. "I was sure my career was over. Said as much to Janet." And Sam fell silent again, realizing she was remembering two lost dear friends now instead of one.
Jack touched her cheek, then brushed away the tear that fell. "The second time with Hathor. When Hammond and Teal'c rescued us? Teal'c told me that the Old Man let out a helluva war cry as he blew up the ion cannon thingies."
"Yup. T said it reminded him of the tribal cries of the Jaffa. Very . . . enthusiastic."
Sam turned her face toward Jack's warm belly, snuggling closer. "How 'bout the time you took a hockey stick to his car window?"
"Oh yeah . . ." Jack grimaced slightly as he remembered. "Or, what about . . ."
And they were off. Trading stories and memories of the General, and of the man. Sometimes laughing, sometimes crying. Together they celebrated the life of a man they'd both loved.
Jack opened up more than Sam could ever remember him doing before. He spoke of his love and respect for the man who'd led the battle against the Goa'uld. Who'd given him latitude and shown remarkable forbearance while always having his back. Who'd taught him to lead more than had any other officer before him.
Sam shared her memories of Hammond from her childhood. He was a longtime friend of her dad's and had been such a loving presence in her life for so many years. Always kind, always willing to listen. It had been George Hammond and his wife who had stood by her family as they'd said goodbye to Sam's mother. It was he who had yanked the stick out of Jacob's rear when it had been Sam who'd applied to the Academy and not Mark. He'd been there when she graduated, Sam recalled, standing alongside her dad and brother. His loud whoop had brought a smile to her face as she'd walked across the stage to receive her commission. Standing behind then-Colonel Hammond at his wife's funeral, wanting so much to reach out and comfort and not knowing how. More tears escaped as their stories wound down and this time Sam didn't try to stop them.
Jack caressed her cheek, catching each tear as it fell and brushing it aside. "Shh, Sam. It's okay to cry. It's okay to miss him."
"I know," Sam sniffed into the worn soft cotton of his t-shirt. "I just . . . it doesn't seem real. He's been a part of my life for so long and now . . ."
"I know." Jack's hand stilled as he held her close. His voice was hoarse with his own tears. "You remember when we found Earnest?"
Sam sniffled again and drew back slightly, puzzled by the question. "Of course. Why?"
"Remember Daniel and that . . . thingie? The Ancient projector thing?"
"Sure." Sam dried her tears and smiled slightly. "Daniel was convinced that the device held the secret to, well, everything."
"Yeah. 'Meaning of life stuff.'"
Smiling softly, Sam nodded. "Yes. I'm not sure he ever forgave us for bringing him back."
"Hammond said something about that to me, not too long ago." Jack shifted on the couch and slid his hand along Sam's cheek, tilting her face so that she met his eyes. "He ran across the tape Daniel made that day and told me to tell Daniel that the 'meaning of life stuff' he was looking for wasn't lost on that planet."
Jack paused, a half-smile on his face as he remembered. He absently caressed Sam's cheek, clearly lost in the memory. Finally, Sam tipped her head and kissed his hand, bringing his attention back to her, to them.
Jack shook his head slightly and smiled apologetically. "Anyway, I asked him what he meant, and he said that having somebody love you whom you love in return would reveal more about the meaning of life than any stone three-D projector ever could."
"The General said that?"
"He did."
"Did you ever tell Daniel?"
"No. I suddenly realized I had something more important to do." Jack shrugged at her look. "I went and asked you to dinner instead."
Author's note: I have no idea what George Hammond's middle name was, but in honor of Charles, it is now . . . Charles. Additionally, Hammond was a Major General (two stars) when at the SGC but was promoted to Lieutenant General (three stars) when he went to HWS. Therefore, he left the SGC as a Lieutenant General and his nameplate reflects that.
Written in loving tribute to Charles Sibley. Codladh sámh a solas síoraí.

Pumpkin Cheesecake
Recipe by Leslie in Texas
I first made this pumpkin cheesecake for our Thanksgiving dinner in 1978 ( ya, I'm old! :) ). It's one of our favorites and a delicious alternative to pumpkin pie. I usually make this with a graham cracker or gingersnap cookie crust- we like it better than with the crust that was printed with it. Hope you'll enjoy it too!
Top Review by tomatolater
Made this for my mom's birthday and she loved it! I only used the filling since I have a favorite crust recipe and I cut back on the sugar (because I always do). For the cheesecake lover I would say this is a fantastic variation on the standards. Great during the fall, but I made it early summer and it was a hit. Would highly recommend for anyone who loves pumpkin, cheesecake, or both.

The Church of St Clement the Martyr is a powerful element of the townscape of 'Norwich Over the Water'. Its chancel stands hard by Fye Bridge Street and its elegant tower dominates the eastern end of Colegate.
Since becoming redundant in the 1960's the church has been used for counselling and pastoral work, and is open every day for anyone wanting to pray, to have peace and quiet or to appreciate the interior. This use has enabled St Clements's to retain all of its furnishings.
St Clements's was built close to Fye Bridge, the river crossing of the major historic north-south axis of the City (King St / Magdalen St). The church is thought to be Saxon in origin and to have been one of the first in the City erected on the north side of the river. It probably dated from around 1040, although no evidence from this period is visible.
The present Nave replaces an earlier, narrower one, the corner stones of which are visible embedded in the west wall on either side of the tower. The church has no porch, though it is possible that the rougher flint-work round the south door may be the remains of one now incorporated into the widened Nave.
The Chancel, Nave and Tower are all in the Perpendicular style and probably date from the early C15th. However, the Decorated style of the east window of the Chancel suggest an earlier date for that part of the building. The Nave is wide but without aisles, relatively short and has a low pitched roof, making it look rather 'heavy': the former narrower Nave with a steeper roof would have been better proportioned. The tower, on the other hand, with corner buttresses at the four stages and a battlemented parapet decorated with flushwork, is most elegant. The tower clock has a fine classical frame, but is somewhat mismatched with the Medieval belfry window which it covers - but only partly.
The wall arches on both sides of the Chancel, enclose deeply recessed windows, or sections of blank wall. Do these represent an attempt to refine earlier thick and irregular walls? Also of this date is the Chancel roof, with its arched bracing and its wall posts supported on corbels carved with angels bearing shields – two with trumpets. The posts rest, rather uncomfortably, on the springings and apexes of the wall arches. The font is in the Perpendicular style and carved with flowers and leaves.
In the floor of the Nave can still be seen a brass memorial to Margaret Petwoode dated 1514.
The Wood Family: a large floor slab just inside the main door, from which the brass has been removed, is very possibly the remains of the memorial referred to by Francis Bloomfield the 18th century historian as being that of the wife of Edmund Wood. Edmund Wood became Mayor in the mid 16th century and is recorded as having been buried 'before the aulter of Our Lady'. He almost certainly built and lived in the magnificent house on the corner of Fye Bridge Street and Fishergate, 'rediscovered' in 1990 and now the King of Hearts. His son Robert, who also became Mayor, was buried in the chancel. He welcomed Queen Elizabeth on her visit to the City, but we are told that the festivities went on so long that he had to 'forbear the utterance of…his Oration because it was about seven of the clock and Her Majesty had then five miles to ride.' He had to content himself with presenting it to her in writing, whereupon she 'made him a Knight [and departed] with the Water standing in her eyes.'
In the South Churchyard is a box-tomb inscribed to the memory of the parents of Mathew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury under Queen Elizabeth, though it is clearly of a much later date. In 1549 he preached here against the 'hurliburlies' of Kett's Rebellion. He left money for an annual sermon in the church, which continues to this day.
The 19th century saw wealthy families moving out of the parish and poor people and industry taking over. The established church came to see its task as one of mission to the poor, partly – it must be said – in competition with the Nonconformists. In 1889 a musicians' gallery, double decker pulpit and box pews were removed and the present furnishings were installed. They include pews with attractively varied carved panels on the ends.
Stained glass is limited to the borders of the windows at either end on the church. The green tinted glass of the west window combines with the vibrant orange boarder to give a surprisingly pleasant light. All other windows are clear glass making the Nave an airy light space.

Autumn Winter 2013-14 'Guide to the Season' - Honest Trend Report
on 23/4/12
As the reality of the recession's long-term impact continues to sink in, we no longer want to hear the continuing cries of austerity and cuts. With the dust starting to settle on a new global economy we wake-up to a dramatic re-evaluating of what we hold dear and the way in which we live our lives.
So this theme is less about 'penny pinching' or draconian measures, but more about re-balancing our unsustainable dreams of the past with a new more simplistic and 'Honest' approach. As we forgo the designer lifestyle, we find that our aspirations are a lot more achievable as we focus on an attainable & considered life where family, friends, and living within our means become the most cherished.
The resulting influences shape a new aesthetic look & feel, with stripped back products and a soft colour palette that adds both interest & depth.

Blades make double swoop
Sheffield United have bolstered their ranks with the loan signings of Sam Vokes and Bjorn Helge Riise.
Last Updated: 15/02/11 5:25pm
Struggling Sheffield United have bolstered their ranks with the loan signings of Sam Vokes and Bjorn Helge Riise.
Wolves striker Vokes has switched to Bramall Lane for 33 days, while Fulham midfielder Riise has joined until the end of the season.
Vokes, who will be available until the home fixture with Leeds United on 19th March, will bolster an attack still missing Darius Henderson, who is several weeks away from a return to action, and Ched Evans, who has not fully recovered from illness.
Riise, signed by former Fulham boss Roy Hodgson in July 2009, has switched after featuring in only three Premier League games for the Cottagers this term.
The 27-year-old Norway international, who has won 27 caps for his country, was advised by his national boss Egil Olsen to find a club where he can play more regularly.
Tuesday's recruitment means Blades boss Micky Adams has now brought in seven new faces following the earlier signings of Joe Mattock, Shane Lowry and Marcus Bent on loan and the permanent captures of Neill Collins and Micky Doyle.
United currently sit in 22nd in the Championship table - three points away from safety - ahead of the crucial clash with Reading on Tuesday.

More than 20 children suspected to have been abducted, were rescued by the police in Calabar over the weekend.
The haggard-looking children were rescued from a building along Asuquo Abasi Street, Efut Abasi Uwanse community in Calabar South Local Government Area.
The rescued children, who were cramped in a fortified room by their captors, were later taken to Mbukpa Police Station in Calabar.
A 55-year-old woman and her daughter, 27, who live in the house where the children were rescued, were arrested and are currently helping the police in their investigation.
The woman and her daughter were almost lynched by angry mob but were saved following the timely intervention of the police.
The clan head of Efut Abasi Uwanse community, Muri Okon Etim Effiong, told the Nigerian Pilot Sunday that he was alerted of the incident by the landlord of the premises where the abducted children were kept.
According to him, "the landlord informed me that one of his tenants, Miss Inameti Etuk, who claimed to be a student, was keeping some children in her one room apartment. When I got there, the number of children I saw in the room shocked me.
"I immediately alerted the police who came in their patrol vans and rescued the children. They also saved the suspects from being lynched by angry residents of the community."
One of the suspects (Inameti's mother) who claimed she was the General Overseer of God is God Victory Ministry disclosed that she wanted to move the rescued children to Akwa Ibom state.
The woman further claimed she runs an orphanage recognised by the federal government where children are trained in various skills while those willing to go to school are sponsored by the orphanage. Mr. Nsikak Ekpo, the landlord of the premises said he was notified of the presence of the children by his wife.
"My wife informed me that about 20 children were brought in a truck to my compound this morning and were camped in Inameti's room."
The landlord said that when he confronted Miss Inameti (his tenant), who moved into his premises about two months ago and claimed to be a student of University of Calabar, UNICAL, she confessed that her mother brought the children.
Mr. Ekpo disclosed that he immediately notified the clan head of the community who alerted the police, leading to the rescue of the children and arrest of the two suspects.
More than 20 children suspected to have been abducted, were rescued by the police in Calabar over the weekend.


text: Scenario: Your handing out flyers. Going door to door placing your flyer in the proper place on the door. It is easy for you to do because you have door hangers or you have a full sheet flyer (8.5x11). As you had out flyers in a neighbor you would like to expand in, you start to notice a small flyer (about 1/4 of a page) that is either thrown near the door or stuck under the matt. You read the flyer and notice that they offer about the same service, but they have included the price (printed) on the flyer for basic lawn maintenance for that area. So what do you do? (a) Grab the flyer from the floor near the door and place it in your pocket to dispose of later while placing your flyer in it's proper place. (b) Leave their flyer alone and just place your flyer in its proper place. (c) Grab the flyer from the floor near the door and place it in your pocket to later place in a high end (so they will get calls for very low prices) neighborhood while placing your flyer in it's proper place.

There are 3 bags and all are labeled incorrectly as follow:
Bag1 : Silver
Bag2 : Gold
Bag3 : Silver and Gold.
You need to label all bags correctly by opening just one bag.
How come ?
For Solution : Click Here
This Blog is a collection of brain teasers, puzzles (maths,fun,brain etc), riddles,Questions, Quiz.
It have already mention that all bag have labeled in correctly
let consider
bag A-silver
bag B-gold
bag C-gold and silver
if i open bag C ..i:e gold and silver
then i should get somthing else(silver or gold) ....becouse it have already mention that all bag are labeled in correctly
so the rest 2 bag A and B should also cantain wrong item.
So.... If i assume that bag c ....cantain silver.
Then bag A(labeled silver) should cantain gold
and bag b(labeled gold)should cantain gold and silver
becouse it have mention that all bag are labeled incorrectly
1 open bag marked silver gold it will contain either silver or gold, if it contains silver it is silver only
2 the other bags contains gold or silver gold
3 the gold bag cannot contain gold so it has to be silver gold and originally marked silver contains gold
Silver gold bag contains silver
Gold bag contains silver gold
Silver bag contains gold.
Hi Mr Tiwari. Its a good guess. I also have the same logic to to present.The entire logic depends on the "statement" that "all bags are labeled incorrectly"ReplyDelete
Thank you for that 'sir'ReplyDelete
All bags r incorrect. Lifting them might reveal weight differences. Gold would be heavier. Thus I would not have to open the heaviest bag. Choosing one of the other bags to open would reveal it is either the totally silver contents or the silver gold mixture.ReplyDelete
open any of the bag let it b 1st one..n we found gold in it..mark it as gold now d third bag will definately contains silver(caz gold is 1st one[found by opening d 1st bag] n 3 cant b silver and gold)so left out is nw 2nd n it is definately silver :)ReplyDelete
I think I would have to put the heaviest bag to the side assuming it contains both silver and gold, then by just opening one of the other bags if it gold you know the bag has to be silver , and if the bag you open is silver then the other bag should be gold...Delete

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's soccer team took on a tough test in its season debut for 2015, and the defense stood tall in a 0-0 draw with No. 7 Washington.
The back unit was under pressure throughout the match, with the Huskies outshooting the Quakers, 24-7, and having the edge in corner kicks, 13-7.
Senior goalkeeperMax Polkinhornewas ready every time he was called upon, making eight saves for his first clean sheet of the season.
The Quakers were never more in danger of conceding the match than in the final minutes of regulation. Washington earned six corner kicks in the final 3:03 of regulation, forcing Polkinhorne two make a pair of saves and watching a third shot towards goal get blocked. The Red and Blue were able to erase the sixth Washington corner of those final moments with 26 seconds on the clock, sending the match to overtime.
In the first extra frame, Penn outshot Washington, 4-2. The best chances came when Matt Poplawski had a shot from about 20 yards away blocked and moments later Jerel Blades found some space along the left side where he was able to muster a shot off the outside of his foot which was scooped up by Ryan Herman.
In the second overtime period, Washington took the first three shots, but missed the target each time. The Quakers had a look to steal the win in the final seconds, drawing a foul 30 yards from goal. Forrest Clancy lined up for the free kick, but got too much of it and sailed the offering high.
A new-look Quakers club took the field on Friday night, with six different starters on the field from the 2014 season. Four of those starters were newcomers to the lineup in freshmen Gavin Barger, Nigel Blackwood and Erumuse Momohandsophomore transfer Joe Swenson. The two other new starters – Aaron Chen (7th career start) and Griffin Heffner (14th career start) – were busy throughout the night at center back against a Husky squad which had scored four goals in two games to open the season.
Two other newcomers, Jerel Blades and Erik Swenson, came off the bench for the first action as collegiate soccer players.
NOTES: Max Polkinhorne's sixth career shutout is Penn's third consecutive shutout in a season opener … The last time Penn played a scoreless draw was 10/12/13 at Columbia … The last time Penn opened a season with a scoreless draw was 9/5/08 at Marquette … The last time Penn shutout a ranked opponent was a 1-0 win over No. 14 Brown (10/30/10) … Rudy Fuller is now 6-9-3 all-time in season openers as head coach of the Quakers … He is 12-3-3 in home openers in his time at Penn … His teams have recorded clean sheets in eight of his 18 season openers …Washington has now gone 312:04 of game play without conceding a goal, dating back to the NCAA Tournament against Michigan State in 2014.
The Quakers are right back to action, heading to the nation's capital on Sunday to take on American University at 3 p.m.

Whether it's riding with him in his Nissan Altima or lining up next to him on Columbus High's defensive line on Friday nights, Caesar Rodriguez said he's had a lot of fun hanging out with his big friend and teammate Antwan Lowery.
Rodriguez has known Lowery since before the eighth grade and laughs every time before he shares a great Antwan story. But it's the following one, he says, that best explains why college football recruiters from across the country are trying to reel in his 6-4, 315-pound friend.
''Antwan has a hidden talent -- he knows how to make quarterbacks and running backs disappear,'' the 6-3, 218-pound 2009 football prospect said. ``For a guy his size, Antwan is so mobile, so quick. Last year against Belen, he chased down their quarterback and swallowed him whole. I swear when Antwan was on top of the guy, you couldn't see him at all.''
Spotting Lowery, The Miami Herald's No. 4-ranked high school football recruit in the Class of 2009 in Miami-Dade County, hasn't been a problem for college football scouts. A list of 22 schools have offered Lowery a scholarship -- more than any other recruit coach Chris Merritt said he's had in the 10 years he's been coaching the Explorers.
North Carolina State was the first -- a week after Lowery's junior season concluded. Then, Florida a few days later. Followed by Miami, Rutgers, Auburn, Florida State, Clemson, South Florida, Notre Dame, Michigan, USC and a laundry list of others.
Not bad for a kid with only one real season of varsity experience and who grew up playing catcher and third base in baseball and center in basketball at The Northwest Boys' Club in Miami because he was too heavy for Pop Warner football.
''Antwan has made himself into the player he is now,'' Merritt said. ``He's always been a great kid, always smiling, one I've had around my locker room since he was in the sixth grade. But as a sophomore we had our constant battles with him to stay focused, to go in the weight room and turn that baby fat into muscle.
``He was supposed to be dieting, but his brother used to tell us stories how they would find wrappers and empty soda cans near his bed in the morning. Now, he's tons of muscle. This is a kid that benches 325 pounds and military presses 305 pounds above his head. That's impressive. I try to mess with our kids, grab them by the arm, pull them. I don't mess with Antwan. If he was 30 pounds lighter, turned that stuff around his belly into muscle -- he'd be illegal in high school.''
Lowery, rated the 29th-best defensive tackle in the country by Rivals.com and seventh in the state of Florida, was dangerous last season. Despite facing constant double and triple teams at defensive tackle in Columbus' 4-4 defense, he managed 75 tackles, 13 for loss and helped the Explorers put together a 11-1 season that ended with a loss to mythical national champion Northwestern in the second round of the playoffs.
His goal for this fall is to improve upon the three sacks he had. Merritt said he will have more of an opportunity now when he lines up at nose guard, directly in front of opposing centers when the Explorers go to a three-man front. Lowery, meanwhile, who was clocked at 5.3 seconds in the 40-yard dash and 4.9 seconds in the shuttle run at the Scout.com combine this spring, said he will continue dieting and exercising to trim down to around 300 pounds.
''I don't eat breakfast anymore,'' Lowery said. ``Instead, I eat two big salads a day. I get four heads of lettuce, a few pounds of baked chicken or grilled chicken and I chop it up and mix it up. It feels me up.''
Chopping down his recruiting list could prove to be a tougher task than cutting weight. Lowery, who grew up a die-hard Hurricanes fan, said the one thing he learned when his older brother was being recruited from Columbus three years ago was to keep an open mind -- and to stay out of trouble.
Antonio Lowery, now a 20-year-old sophomore linebacker at Rutgers, had offers from nine different schools and was piling up more offers as a senior when he got in trouble in school trying to sell a classmates' book. Lowery was suspended for six games his senior season and some college recruiters cooled off on him.
Antwan Lowery said he wants to stay away from trouble so he can keep all of his options open. Lowery, who has a 2.7 GPA and took the SAT for the first time this past Saturday, said it's been hard enough initially convincing some schools he wasn't just going to pick the Hurricanes or follow his brother to Rutgers.
''The first thing a lot of recruiters ask me is if it's all about The U or do we really have a shot?'' Lowery said. ``But I'm straight up with them. I've followed my brother my whole life and it's my time to become my own man. I tell them if they evaluated me, offered me and really want me, the least I can do is really listen and consider them.''
Lowery said his recruitment could ''basically become a waiting game.'' But it seems to be more of a wooing game. Lowery said he fell in love with Gainesville's college atmosphere when he made an unofficial to watch the Gators' spring game two months ago. He said Florida coaches have spent more time than any school sending him hand-written letters. He said the Canes have recently started to pick up the pace and that he recently received a letter from UM coach Randy Shannon.
''A lot of websites, reporters call me and ask me if I have a top five, if I've narrowed things down, but I'm far off from making a decision,'' Lowery said.
``I want to build a relationship with the coaches, get to know them, trust them. I'm building that now with coach [Vance] Beford from Florida, coach [Clint] Hurtt from Miami, the Rutgers coaches, the South Florida coaches. When they send letters, keep in contact, it tells me they're interested. Other schools have come by and offered and I haven't heard from them. Miami, Florida, Rutgers, South Florida and Clemson -- those schools have been really interested in me.''
Miami and Florida each currently have defensive line commitment for 2009. The Hurricanes, Lowery said, have told them they only want to take one more defensive lineman in their next signing class and have pressured him a bit to be that recruit and fill that spot.
Lowery said a few weeks ago he worked out with Hurricanes freshman defensive tackle Marcus Forston -- a friend -- at Columbus. And he said he UM sophomore cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke, a childhood friend, has called him a few times to put in a good word for Miami. But he says the Canes are just going to have to wait.
''They tell me if you know you want to come to Miami, why don't you just pull the trigger,'' Lowery said. ``But I don't know if I want to go to Miami. I love the Canes. I'm a city boy. But so many other schools have come in, talked to me, that I've got to think about with an open mind. And that's what I'm going to do.''

The City is working to update its Transition Plan as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To help this effort, the City's EEO/ADA Coordinator, George Lopez, is seeking voluntary public response. The ADA is a federal law requiring state and local governments to facilitate equal opportunity for qualified disabled persons. This includes providing equal access to "public programs, facilities, services and rights of way." This is where a voluntary public response comes in. Public comments will be accepted, until June 30, 2017
As part of the City's effort to update its Transition Plan, the City is undertaking a city-wide "self-evaluation." The self-evaluation is a process where City personnel, along with volunteers from the public, will endeavor to identify public programs that might fail to meet ADA standards. Such standards concern a lack of proper pedestrian crossing; curb cuts and ramps; absent disabled parking; sidewalk obstacles; greater than a 1.48% crosswalk variance; greater than ½ inch gaps, or ¼ inch rises in the sidewalk; sidewalks narrower than 36 inches; access barriers to bus stops; rest areas; public trails, parks, facilities, meeting rooms, etc. For standard guidelines, access the U. S. Access Board, at www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards.
If you want to volunteer, feel free to contact Lopez, or look around your immediate community. Identify potential access barriers. Take care to briefly detail and identify the possible access barrier and specific location. Digital photographs of the barrier are preferred. You can send your information and photographs to, Attention: George Lopez, EEO/ADA Coordinator, City of Las Cruces, P. O. Box 20000, Las Cruces, New Mexico 88004. Information and photos received will not be returned.
You can reach Lopez by telephone at (575) 528-3227 or by email, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Adam Simmonds, Police and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire, has today welcomed the findings of Her Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary's (HMIC) Legitimacy Report, that judges Northamptonshire Police to be 'Good' at treating people fairly and equally.
Throughout 2015, HMIC's PEEL (Police Effectiveness, Efficiency and Legitimacy) inspection programme assessed the culture within Northamptonshire Police and how this is reflected in the Force's public engagement, use of tasers and compliance with the Best Use of Stop and Search scheme.
Northamptonshire Police received a 'Good' rating across the overview measure of 'how legitimate is the force at keeping people safe and reducing crime?', as well as receiving the same rating across the key HMIC questions of 'to what extent does practice and behaviour reinforce the wellbeing of staff and an ethical culture?', 'how well does the force understand, engage with and treat fairly the people it serves to maintain and improve its legitimacy?' and 'to what extent are decisions taken on the use of stop and search and tasers fair and appropriate?'
The HMIC report found that:
- The chief officer team took seriously the need for an ethical and inclusive workforce, and allegations against officers and staff were generally dealt with fairly and consistently
- It is clear that local teams engage positively with the public
- The force is complying with most of the features of the Best Use of Stop and Search scheme, and use of tasers is fair and appropriate
Responding to HMIC's assessment, Adam Simmonds, Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner, said:
"As keepers of the law the very minimum a police force must do is demonstrate itself to be trustworthy through the fair treatment of everyone it comes in to contact with. I'm pleased to see that the HMIC Legitimacy Report has identified that Northamptonshire Police treat people fairly and equally.
"The report reflects the hard work we have carried out in engaging with communities in the county to understand their views and opinions around the work of Northamptonshire Police and in particular around the use of Stop and Search powers – an area which as a county we have been a national leader on.
"However, I will ensure Northamptonshire Police take note of the suggested areas of improvement in the report in order for them to strive for an 'Outstanding' rating in 12-months time, an aim that I'm sure is shared by the Chief Constable and his team."

Our 27 year history has proven one undeniable fact: our cork drags work. That statement is backed by more world records caught on Abel Reels than almost all other reels combined. While cork provides a perfect balance of design, strength, weight, smoothness, and heat dissipation, we've recognized the gravitation towards a completely maintenance free sealed drag system for certain anglers. Because of this, we've spent the last several years meticulously designing and field testing a new series of reels worthy of the Abel name.
Abel's Sealed Drag Reel consists of multi-stacked discs of machined aluminum and a proprietary Rulon® composite, all housed in a fully sealed cartridge. This means no maintenance required. The aluminum discs are hard anodized for abrasion resistance and lightly lubricated to allow free motion for a lifetime of protection under heavy operation. Our proprietary Rulon® has a low coefficient of friction, excellent abrasion resistance, and chemical inertness over a wide range of operating temperatures. The anodized aluminum sealed drag cartridge, coupled with a 330 degree angled cam system drag knob features 24 detents (clicks) of adjustment yields virtually infinite settings using an infallible draw bar tightening system. The innovative design also yields incredibly low startup inertia to protect fine tippets, while still giving plenty of stopping power for slowing down the fastest running fish.
How is the Abel Sealed Drag Reel different from all the other reel "sealed" systems? Most sealed drags are bulky; other reel manufacturers are forced to utilize wider frames and spindles to accommodate higher masses. Unlike these products, the Abel Sealed Drag fits into the same narrow frame as its famed Super Series cousin. While other models in the industry with so called "sealed" drag systems have allowed fresh and saltwater to compromise their product, the lengthy field testing of our design has proven it to be completely waterproof. What this means for Abel's Sealed Drag is no corrosion, no maintenance, and no failures.
Our fully sealed, proprietary Rulon® machined composite stacked discs are smooth enough to protect the lightest tippets but still capable of stopping large game fish. The fully sealed design means no corrosion and no failures.
A perfect blend of form and function, Abel's anodizing is second to none. The SD's finish is built to withstand the harshest elements while maintaining the look, feel, and quality of the Abel® name.
330 degree angled cam system drag knob features 24 detents (clicks) of adjustment for virtually infinite settings using a reliable, proven draw bar tightening system.
100% designed, machined and hand-assembled in the USA. No exceptions.
We are dedicated to ensuring that each and every product leaving our shop is the best we can make it. We are 100% committed to our customer satisfaction and service. We'd love to hear directly from you.

Danny Scheie in 'The Comedy of Errors' at Cal Shakes
Published 2:20 pm, Wednesday, June 25, 2014
The only thing better than casting Danny Scheie in a play is casting Danny Scheie twice. The revered San Francisco actor is playing a set of twins in Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors" at California Shakespeare Theater. He is both Dromio of Syracuse and Dromio of Ephesus in a rollicking farce about, among other things, twins separated at birth and mistaken identity.
But Scheie thinks there's more at work in "Comedy" than simply slapstick humor, and he should know what he's talking about. He directed the play at Shakespeare Santa Cruz (three times), Berkeley's Aurora Theatre Company, Seattle Shakespeare Festival and Noise Within in Los Angeles. And he's played several roles in the show, but never the Dromios.
Before heading into rehearsal, Scheie discussed the depths of "Comedy" and his role as Puck in "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
Q: Given your familiarity with "Comedy of Errors," what do you really think of the play?
A: I think it's vastly underrated. A lot of people, including me, believe it was Shakespeare's first play. I can imagine him reading Plautus in school and then mashing the plots together. Of course it's funny, but it talks about existence in a way that is almost Beckettian, as people behave in completely different ways when faced with the existential void. It's also a play about identity theft: How can I verify who I am and who we're dealing with?
Q: Well that's heavy for a comedy.
A: Not really, because form and function equal each other. The form is the meaning of the play, which is dismissed as a mistaken identity farce, but as a farce it's a beautifully constructed machine. It has exactly the right number of scenes and props to follow through the play. In it are the seeds of every Shakespeare comedy to come. Even some of "King Lear." Part of my dissertation at UC Berkeley was about "Comedy." I might know this play too well for my own good.
Q: "Comedy" is your 19th show at Cal Shakes, and in September you'll appear in your 20th in "A Midsummer Night's Dream," your first-ever Puck. What took so long?
A: I've never played Puck, though I did play Bottom in Cal Shakes' 2009 "Midsummer." It's a role people have talked to me about, and they seem surprised I've never played it. I used to think Puck was a stupid part and should be cut. But five years ago, when Doug Hara played the part in our production, I thought more about it and decided I'd like to play it. I haven't talked to our director (Shana Cooper) about this yet, but I'd like to do it in baggy green tights - you know, a past-the-expiration-date Puck.
If you go
The Comedy of Errors: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 4 p.m. Sunday. Through July 20. $20-$72. California Shakespeare Theater at the Bruns Amphitheater, 100 California Shakespeare Theater Way, Orinda. (510) 548-9666. www.calshakes.org.

The collection includes over 100,000 pages of content that was digitally scanned and captured for on-screen delivery in its original format, exactly as it appears on paper. Each issue is full of step-by-step instructions, how-to projects, color photos, product reviews and expert tips.
Readers have full access to 75 years of model railroading history at their fingertips. With just a few clicks, readers can search by keyword, author, month, year or subject and pull-up content on-screen to read or print on their local system.
Learn more about the project by reading the full press release.

Nabaiee's Family Martial Arts
Brother-sister duo Massih and Nazanine Nabaiee have both been training in the martial arts for more than three decades—and both have a black belt to prove it. At Nabaiee's Family Martial Arts, they intertwine different martial art disciplines including Tae Kwon Do, Jiu Jitsu, and Thai kickboxing to cater to both kids and adults. And although the MMA classes are workouts themselves, the instructors also lead some more traditional fitness classes such as kettlebell training and yoga.
