London Palladium Theatre Tours at London Palladium in London
Doors Open | Friday 13 December 2013 at 11:30 AM |
Starts | Friday 13 December 2013 at 11:30 AM |
Only on the second Friday of each month (January and February 2013 excepted).
Running Time Tour lasts approximately 2 hours
(Customers to gather in Box Office area 10 minutes before tour commences)
This is a rare opportunity to explore the world's most famous theatre on a guided tour lasting about two hours.
The London Palladium opened on Boxing Day 1910 and since then has hosted Music Hall, Variety, Revue, Pantomime and spectacular Musicals with equal success. Made famous worldwide through television's Sunday Night at the London Palladium, it has also hosted more Royal Variety Performances than any other theatre.
With displays of memorabilia throughout the building celebrating its rich heritage and the major stars that have appeared on stage, the tour will also take in areas not usually open to the public. The route may vary according to the buildings daily activities and the walk will involve several long flights of stairs.
As there are lots of stairs, the tour is not recommended for the infirm and ladies are advised to wear flat shoes.
London Palladium Seating Plan
Where we provide a seating plan for events, every effort is made to show you correct information. However, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy of our seating plans in case of short term or venue specific changes due to production requirements. Seating plans are generally provided as a guide only and are not an exact representation of the seating layout at the venue.

In our last story, we covered the basic design of our land speed record breaking engine we've dubbed the SR15VET 20V. This time around, we'll take a deep look inside the engine and detail its build with none other than our resident Nissan guru, Nick Hunter of 5523 Motorsports.
by Chuck Johnson In the last three years, it seems that I've said it over a thousand times. When it comes to land speed racing, take most everything you know about racing and throw it away. There are so many generally accepted practices in motorsports and preconceived notions about racing that just don't apply when it comes to land speed racing. In fact, much of the time these common practices are the polar opposite of the practices standard to that of building a car for Bonneville. Where most racers would consider changes in displacement only in one direction (larger), the land speed racer will do whatever it takes to set a land speed record even if it means decreasing an engine's displacement. Why did we choose this route? Read on to find out!
by Joe Lu and Chuck Johnson
So here we are on the flip side of Speed Week 2013, epic road trips to Utah and record runs down the Bonneville salt flats were had, but let's rewind a week and pretend that we're just a few days out from Bonneville. In fact, we're sitting in a swelteringly hot garage at 5523 Motorsports in Escondido, California wondering if we'll make it to Speed Week at all.
By Mike Kojima
Every once in a while we do a behind the scenes story about some of our Motorsports adventures and stuff we do on the road. Although this might look like we're living the life according to what a lot of our readers think, when you try to perform on a high level, it actually takes a lot of blood, sweat, hard work, and passion to do what we do. We are often too busy making things happen in the Motorsports world to document our adventures but this time we decided to focus on one of our main projects for this year: Editor Chuck Johnson breaking the H/PS world land speed record at Bonneville Speed Week 2013.
By Annie Sam
MotoIQ.com's Project 240SX Land Speed Racer (LSR), driven by Editor Chuck Johnson, secured yet another land speed record this time on the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats. Facing adversity from seemingly every direction, Team MotoIQ managed to overcome a mixture of freak mechanical and electrical issues to qualify for its second land speed record this year.
So what's it like to accelerate from a standstill to land speed record smashing speeds on the dirt surface of the El Mirage dry lakebed? Check out the in-car video below to see MotoIQ contributing editor, Chuck Johnson, doing just that in MotoIQ's very own "Project 240SX Land Speed Racer.

After three years of building and chasing a dream, MotoIQ's Project 240SX Land Speed Racer claimed the Southern California Timing Association's (SCTA) H/PS class land speed record for El Mirage!

TESTED: Achilles GS-328 Race Tire
By Steve Rockwood
I've driven on a lot of tires, some of them horrible, some of them great. All of them have been DOT legal. Until now. When we were approached by Achilles Tire to try out their new GS-328 racing slick on Project G20 Racecar, we predictably jumped at the opportunity.

Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey Comments on Romney VP
Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey says he's not expecting an invite from Mitt Romney to be his running mate.
Toomey downplays pundits who say Romney would benefit from Toomey's credit among conservatives.
"We have very capable and qualified people all across the country. I have no idea who he's going to pick, but I am confident the person he picks will be very qualified and a strong asset to the ticket."
Toomey stopped short of saying he wouldn't run with Romney if asked. The full interview with the Pennsylvania Senator can be heard on Comment Please by Univest.

I'd really like screenshot support too.
I think there is a round of rumours saying it could come out in or around end of January, but we all know what the rumour mill is like. It hopefully shouldn't be too long now. With regards to battery life, how long is it lasting you? Have you checked your background tasks in settings? Maybe something there draining it. Also, are all OS/firmware updates installed? - 01-11-2013, 09:58 AM #8

Do you still face the problem of WIFI getting disconnected when phone goes to sleep? . I recently updated to 7.8 and i figured they will be fixing it in this update. But no avail. The problem persists. Would be great to get some inputs from a fellow 7.8 user.

Former Gov. George Pataki, (R-NY), on the economic consequences of the government's mounting debt.

Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Right the national debt is growing while our GDP is slacking the fact we now -- more than we make it an entire year needs to be a wake up call.
Joining me now New York's former governor George the -- He's the chairman of the no American debt organization and counsel at chat board and park.
Governor welcome back to the show you're being nominated Jerry let's start with this idea of our dad being so high are we making too much of us.
No you.
We're making too little it's an absolute disgrace.
First of all.
There's never been a country in history.
And that's a long time where the GDP has gone over a 100%.
The economic.
Helped put that where we have the debt.
-- we haven't seen that country had diminished growth for decades to come.
And I fear we're seeing diminished growth in the United States right now and.
Exactly 2.2.
Percent GDP -- -- it's astonishing how what we're doing is a crime against their -- we are stealing their futures generational theft.
And and I for 1 am appalled -- While there have been serious efforts to try to change this Paul Ryan's budget.
Makes a stab at getting rid of some of this debt and yet he gets ridiculed there have been two serious efforts -- -- Paul Ryan -- the house.
Republicans are the only group that -- pass the budget.
The senate Democrats have not pass the budget over three years this is a national disgrace President Obama submitted a joke of a budget it was projected I think.
98 enough.
Not one Democrat voted for this president's budget because it was a political -- -- -- to propose solutions Paul Ryan who gets demonized by the president.
And then Bowles Simpson.
Where the president's own bipartisan panel put that I brilliant proposal to deal with the deficit and tax reform the president threw -- in garbage because it doesn't meet his.
Goal to re distribute wealth so it's it's appalling and it's got to stop.
Well I wouldn't speak about one of your other favorite topics in the world and that is Obama care.
We just had a report from congress today.
That shows that the companies that are on the president's jobs council believed that there costs due to Obama care for health -- gonna rise and rise dramatically what do you say.
Every study has shown a couple of things one.
Cost they're gonna rise dramatically second of all tens of millions of people are -- to have to change their health care coverage even if -- like it.
Third it's going to increase the deficit probably by over trillion dollars the best thing would be if the Supreme Court throws it out completely as unconstitutional but not.
We have to keep working to try to.
Governor listen I want to -- something the president said which -- seem to be at odds with what you just said.
Our approach would preserve the right of Americans.
Who have insurance to keep their doctor in their plan.
It would reduce costs and premiums for millions of families and businesses.
Our approach would bring down the deficit by as much as one trillion dollars over the next two decades.
Learn and what do you -- -- I say that every one of those points is not true.
And I'm not just saying it but the bipartisan.
That the CBO bipartisan.
Took a look and said that it's going to increase the deficit virtually every study has shown it's going to increase costs.
And Obama's own commission that looked at this.
There -- initial response was twelve million Americans are gonna have to change their health -- against their wishes because of Obama care so precious and really it really has approach.
-- how did tell you some numbers here that I think are illuminating from this report I just talked about so Southwest Airlines has a choice.
They can either see their health care costs go up to 414.
Million dollars a year.
Or they can drop their coverage and pay a 111 million dollars in penalties Wall Street demands profits what choice do you think they'll make.
-- it's not just southwest Airways are going to be thousands of companies across America to take a look make a rational decision.
Do we play four times as much to comply with -- obamacare as to allow them to be thrown into a different system that's what's gonna happen and it's just.
Totally misled the American people.
The Democrats who rammed it through and a partisan vote never even read it I believe it's unconstitutional.
And hopefully it's -- on this summer.
And yet and yet they're gonna be premium rebates people are gonna get on average about a 127 dollars -- this is an election.
And a and and you are seeing nothing but pandering this year they're going to have rebates under -- -- before the nightmare hits next year.
Our children.
Each of them -- -- over 60000.
Dollars to the federal government.
And yet the president's out campaigning at campuses and swing states say oh I'm gonna cut your interest rate.
We're using other people's money.
It is just been elected here at just the present governor it's also Republicans who say they're gonna spend that -- billion dollars to Arad a key role as well.
I don't think so take a look at what the house to stop.
The house actually passed a budget that dramatically reduces the deficit and -- embraces.
Tax reform so that it's up there -- better.
Pro growth pro jobs system.
But there's still passing these bills I think the -- it is -- ending at a march I think they should this -- -- to be perfectly honest because it's wrong.
Swimmer already clobbering the next generation with this massive debt what was said by the well we're -- -- our interest where does this money come from the money that day right now comes from China but ultimately comes in the pockets right taxpayers and you know what really frightens.
No one saw the financial crisis in 2008 coming it just damn overnight are great financial institutions were virtually bankrupt for everyone -- this coming.
And it's going to be a crisis that hurts our country.
Enormously we just don't know when now's the time to deal with that but this president.
Won't do anything.
That really requires leadership other -- political pandering until after November.
Get in front of the moving train don't get hit by the train get out of the way.
George Pataki thanks for coming in today -- great to have you as always.

There, Thompson said he received eight phone calls from the kidnappers over eight hours. Each call lasted around 60 seconds, but the police needed at least 90 seconds to trace the call.
"When the last call came at 1.30 a.m. I managed to keep him talking for one minute and 35 seconds," Thompson said. "I thought, 'That's it, we've got him,' but the police told me 'Sorry Mr. Thompson, the man who does the tracing goes off duty at midnight.'
"That was the best chance we had of catching them and it was gone."
Shergar was owned by a syndicate of 34 people, each with a share worth £250,000 ($394,000). The syndicate refused to pay the ransom, fearing it would encourage other kidnappings.
"The following Monday we received a call saying the horse had had an accident and was dead. That was the last time we heard from them," Thompson said.
Thompson believes the IRA was responsible, pointing to evidence in former member Sean O'Callaghan's 1999 autobiography "The Informer."
"Every time I took a call from the kidnapper I used a different code word -- the name of a famous race horse -- so I would know it was the same guy calling back," Thompson said.
"But there was always one name I kept to myself, I never told anyone else, and when I read O'Callaghan's book it was there. That really shook me to the core."
Jockey Walter Swinburn, who as a 19-year-old rode Shergar to that historic Epsom Derby win, said the kidnapping had a profound effect on tightening racing industry security.
"Shergar's stable was very impressive but anybody could have walked into it," he said. "Today it's more like a padded cell, they can't afford for the horse to get injured, with CCTV and a large number of grooms."
The thoroughbred has since been immortalized in Ascot's annual Shergar Cup and the 1999 film "Shergar" starring Mickey Rourke.
Swinburn regrets that Shergar's achievements on the track will always be overshadowed by his dramatic abduction. But the image of him pounding over the hill at Epsom, his seemingly tiny competitors trailing behind, lives on.

Child safety expert Ken Wooden approaches some young kids and tells them, "We're doing a video tape. Just Say No to Drugs. We pay $50 for our interviews."
The two teens are being tempted into a dangerous situation with the promise of fame.
The man doing the luring is safety expert Ken Wooden and he's about to teach these teens a valuable lesson.
Wooden said, "Just come over here. Don't tell me now, wait until the camera's rolling.Get right close to the mic. Right here."
With a simple shove in the back, these two teens could go from T.V. stars to a predator's next victim.
Another lure can start by using a bogus business card. Wooden tells this teen to meet his crew at a car down the road. Even taking the card is a dangerous decision. Wooden could have easily pulled this teen into the car with him. Wooden says the pre-teen age is usually the target of child predators and the ego
The lure of being on T.V. is so strong. The two teenagers say many fall for it when approached right on street. Inform your kids that not all compliments are genuine. Sex offenders use fl attery to groom victims into abuse or abduction. And appeals to our ego can quickly cloud judgment. Wooden says it's important to alert children that no one should take their picture, or videotape them, without clothing. He says to remind kids not to take or post inappropriate images of themselves, or anyone else, online or electronically.

I have worn this fragrance for over 20 years. It's light and pleasant. It is not a problem to wear to work. It's just an all around fresh smell and I absolutely love it. I think a woman should have only one scent, not a different one everyday. This is my scent!

The Hofstra Cultural Center Presents "Who Owns Writing?" Revisited
A National Conference, October 16, 17 and 18, 2008
Hofstra University's first national conference on writing, "Who Owns Writing, Revisited," explores the new institutional and public spaces that the teaching of writing will occupy in the 21st century. It asks what is the place – institutionally, publicly, privately – of writing and the teaching of writing in the new century? Is writing the province of English departments, or is it the concern of the university and community as a whole?
Nationally renowned panelists will convene for this conference to consider this pressing issue. The keynote speaker will be Doug Hesse, founding director of the Marisco Writing Program at the University of Denver and professor of English. He is past chair of the Conference on College Composition and Communication, a former president of the Council of Writing Program Administrators and editor of WPA: Writing Program Administration. The plenary session "Student Writing in the 21st century" will feature Sondra Perl, David Bleich and Frank Cioppi. Sondra Perl is a professor of English at Lehman College and the Graduate Center of CUNY, and cofounder of the New York City Writing Project with Richard Sterling in 1978. She is the coauthor of Writing True and author of On Austrian Soil: Teaching Those I Was Taught to Hate about her experiences in the classroom working with adult Austrian students, some of whom were the descendants of Nazis. David Bleich is professor of English at the University of Rochester, whose research specialties include literature, literacy, teaching, language use, feminist philosophy, science studies and Jewish studies. His work examines the way literature lives in communities and societies, the problems of language and truth-telling in interpersonal and social contexts, and the challenge of making schools into more successful institutions. Frank Cioffi is the author of The Imaginative Argument: A Practical Manifesto for Writers and is professor of English at Scripps College.
Panels will include such pressing topics as Rethinking Writing Center Pedagogy"; "Values and Science/Technology: Writing Science Across the Curriculum";"What Do You Mean Copying from the Internet Is Cheating? How Students Perceive Intellectual Property";"Writing Program Administration: Models of Success";"Why Can't They Write? The Myth of College-Level Writing"; "Cyberwriting: Owning the Web in the College Classroom" and "Writing and Teaching Writing in an Ownership Society."
Conference fees are $75 for the three days (student and senior citizen discounts are available). A banquet on Friday, October 17, is priced separately at $35. All conference events, with the exception of meals, are free to members of the Hofstra community upon presentation of a current HofstraCard.

"When world leaders and politicians I've met say what you've done for Belgium, that's when it really hits you."
She was also touched that the Belgian media made a special presentation to her after that final match in September -- a second-round defeat to one of the women's game's rising stars, British 18-year-old Laura Robson.
"It's such a small country, we're very approachable. We don't have paparazzi, so we're among the people," Clijsters said.
"They said I have to come in for another interview and I thought 'Oh no, not another one.' They were all standing there ... it really got to me. The thought they put into it was very nice."
One lingering regret is that she never reached the final at Wimbledon, losing in the semis in 2006 and the quarters in 2010.
"The match that hurt me the most was that loss to Vera Zvonareva (in 2010). At the time it took me a few weeks to get myself together and focus on what was next," said Clijsters, who bounced back to win the U.S. Open for the third time later that year, beating the Russian in the final.
One of Clijsters' trademarks was her athletic stretches across the court, flexibility which could perhaps be explained by the fact her mother was a gymnast.
Clijsters, whose father was a professional footballer, enjoys the attention her quirky trademark brings.
"It does make me laugh," she said. "I have people send me pictures of splits they do to show me they can do it, so it is funny.
"I think it started because I practiced on clay all of the time in Belgium and then I just tried it one time on hard court and won the point and slowly started to feel more comfortable with it. Now more players do it, so it's not only me anymore."
So is there any chance of a third comeback? Clijsters takes her time, then shakes her head.
"No, I'm done!"

How perfectly right you are and so eloquently expressed. I have yet to talk to someone who's life is at its close who has said I wish I had made that last sale, and I have yet to take a funeral where the hearse has been followed by a removal van.
You have discovered just what is important, the majority never will because they would prefer to work non-stop in order to tell others about their gourmet meal in a fashionable restaurant to a home-made bun with their family.
You have stopped to smell the roses, I do hope others are likewise inspired by your words! - 10 November 2011 09:20
- Alice ~ writer, traveller, boater said...
Thank you Pamela. Sometimes it's so easy to forget, but at times I am reminded and immensely thankful for the lifestyle choices we have made. x
Peter, Thank you so much for your long and thoughtful comment - and welcome! I agree - I often think that many people seem so fretful at the thought of not having what others have, of not having those material items in their life, that they miss out on so much else. Of course, sometimes I forget how lucky we are... but then there are days when the realisation of what our lifestyle choices bring to our family life hit home, and I feel so amazingly grateful. There may not be a fashionable restaurant in our sight, but a homemade bun with my family is worth so . much . more .
I hope you will stop by again :-) - 10 November 2011 10:01

Beautifully written. Makes me think about my hurried, harried life! Altho at least I do sometimes get the chance for a Towpath walk with my little girls.

What a lovely post!
I get my "time" on my morning walks with the dog - just me and the countryside in all its glory. I love this time of year. This afternoon the whole family including the dog are going on the long version of the walk we did last week, can't wait! Let's hope the sun keeps shining :D

Thank you lovely Peggy... you have the beautiful towpath as your doorstep and I know you too get to enjoy it when you can :-) I think we have spent the last few years gradually slowing down, so that now it totally is a way of life (mostly). Maybe we will come to a complete standstill one of these days - ha ha! x
Alicey - thank you! And you most certainly do have the most gorgeous countryside on your doorstep to enjoy. I always love walking across those fields - no matter the season. We have just enjoyed a long walk with some other boaters and their dog and we keep remarking how WARM it is for November! I'm sure your walk will be glorious :-) enjoy x - 12 November 2011 05:20

Sounds perfect.
I have those moments walking the dog on one of the nearby beaches. The smell of the sand, watching the children, dogs, horses and surfers enjoying the beach for their own reasons and never fails to remind me what's important. - 21 November 2011 00:08
Hello Alice,
sounds good to me. It takes time to reach though, doesn't it. You and your family, and I, have stepped off the ladder and let space and time come to us gradually, and with much fretful anxiety sometimes - what happens now? What do I do next? This is so unfamiliar. The way we are all tuned to live is not easy to change.
But slowly, gently, it arrives, the day when you find you have just stopped and gazed, not thinking, just looking and listening, and you have no idea for how long.
I can remember the time when I would have thought that was pretty crazy, and such a waste of time, and I am very grateful to have found the resolve to just stick at it until it came naturally. How different my life is now.
You will inspire others, you are young, you are showing it can be done, there are alternative ways to live and they are so rewarding. Well done.

How timely that I'm reading this right before Thanksgiving.. it's so true.. I try to tell myself daily that time is precious and that we must make the most of every moment. Thank you for the reminder and the inspiration!

Thank-you for this powerful thought provoking article.

- Alice ~ writer, traveller, boater said...
Debs, you definitely have it right... having just spent a few glorious days at the beach I couldn't agree more :-)
Liz - thank you for your wonderful comment. I agree with everything you say and it's strange, now we are here - in a position where we are more time-rich, I can't imagine returning to a life where we rush around meeting up for brief moments in between. So, we will continue on this journey - no matter the anxiety (of which there can be plenty!) - and keep working towards living a life where we have time to stop and appreciate. I know you too are always working towards this. Wonderful :-) xx
Thank you Saucy Suz! I hope you enjoyed (enjoying) Thanksgiving!
Thank you Darren for your comment - it's always nice to feel that in some small way my waffling words connect with others :-) - 25 November 2011 10:11

Thank you for your lovely comment Rose and how true are the points raised in that article?! It's hard in reality to live the way we believe we want to in our heart, but it's good to try ;-) x

Could a killer earthquake strike America's heartland? If history proves true, the answer is yes. The 1811-1812 New Madrid Earthquakes (centered in southeast Missouri) rank as some of North America's most catastrophic natural disasters. Stretching more than 160 miles, a system of earthquake faults lurks beneath the Mississippi River basin, loaded and ready to erupt. And it's happened before. Pioneer residents of New Madrid, Missouri were thrown from their beds in the early hours of December 16, 1811 when an estimated 8-point earthquake hit. But it wasn't just one event. Multiple shocks were experienced over the next three months--the largest caused the Mississippi to flow backwards. No earthquake sequence has lasted so long, produced so many shocks, nor created such astonishing phenomena on land and water. The New Madrid Fault remains a seismically active area and experts expect a repeat. The only question is when...

Charles Broadwell
I encountered my little nemesis alongside a pond and a stretch of woods.
I wasn't expecting to see him and his buddies still around. We were deep into January, after all, and he's known as a creature of the heat.
Or so I thought.
It was a nice day to be outside, before the cold rolled in, and I set about stripping some vines from stunted little trees, hoping the cedars and hollies would live to grow strong and straight.
Welcome back to my battle with fire ants, Round 1, 2013.
I kicked one of their clay-ball mounds, expecting no response from these warm-weather diggers. I was surprised to find them there at home, in bunches, not with quite the lightning attack mode of summer, but still swarming for a fight.
They weren't alone. Another mound here, there, all along the rim of these transplanted trees and boulders, probably 15 mounds in all. The biggest I found protruding under protective broomsedge, the size of both of my boots.
My eradication efforts consisted of the following: a kick to the heart of each mound in hopes of exposing the all-mighty queens, then a dousing with not one but two types of fire-ant bait I had in storage nearby, until I ran out of both. The deadly bait, as I understand it, is designed to feed the soldiers who then carry it to the queen, to her demise as well.
It was, if I may say, a good piece of work. With my boots and baits, and with just a few bites for show, the mounds were silenced. And the coming cold, I told myself smugly, would take its own measure of these pests.
But I know it's just a skirmish. You really can't hope to beat them, only contain them. It's like trying to stop coyotes or wild hogs from spreading; you can't kill fast enough.
I should know better, anyway. I've had memorable fire-ant encounters from a Brunswick County golf course (where they attacked en masse an innocent 7-iron I had dropped in a waste bunker) to the banks of the Waccamaw River (where they caught me in a somewhat defenseless position, ahem, and unfortunately there were witnesses to laugh at me) and now to these Piedmont woods just days from a glazing of ice.
Fight fire with ice. It may be our best hope.

TWD: Coconut-Roasted Pineapple Dacquoise
There are 3 main components to this dessert and they're all pretty easy in their own right. First, there's the meringue which is made by combining whipped egg whites and a coconut/almond/sugar mixture. The meringue is spread into rectangles and baked for 3 hours, during which time the rectangles become golden and crisp. The second component is pineapple, which is cut into wedges and then broiled. I decided, instead, to use my kitchen torch to speed this process up and it worked perfectly. Finally, there's the ganache, which is simply a combination of white chocolate and whipping cream that is chilled and then whipped until light and fluffy.
The dacquoise is assembled by layering the components. One of the meringue rectangles is laid down, then topped with the ganache and some of the pineapple wedges. That process is repeated two more times. To finish the dacquoise, the remaining ganache is spread around the sides of the cake and garnished with toasted coconut. Unfortunately, once you've got this beautiful cake assembled, you can't dig in because Dorie recommends chilling it for at least 4 hours before serving.
My 4 hour countdown just finished a few minutes ago and my mom had stopped by after work so I had her taste the dacquoise with me. I think it's safe to say that we are absolutely smitten with this dessert! Wow, was it ever good! My favorite component was the ganache but I also loved the way the pineapple and coconut worked together. I loved it so much that it makes me a bit disappointed I only made 1/4 of the recipe. The tropical flavors are perfect for summer so I know I'll be making this treat again before too long!
Thanks to Andrea for a really surprising pick this week - we loved it! You can find the recipe on her blog and check out the other cakes this week by visiting TWD!

I would make this again in a heartbeat also. Thinking of doing one with roasted strawberries...@ezrapoundcake was talking about roasted strawberries a couple of weeks ago, and I am thinking they would be great on this with the coconut and ganache, etc. Going there sometime soon.

December 23 – Happy Birthday Fritz Maisel
Back when I first became a Yankee fan, the team was in the final six years of a glorious 45 year run that author Peter Golenbock would later so aptly describe with the title of his excellent book "Dynasty." The Bronx Bombers had dominated baseball during that era, not just with pennants and World Series, but also with record-breaking individual accomplishments. We had Babe Ruth and his home runs, Lou Gehrig and his games played streak, Joe D's 56-straight and in 1961, the M&M boy's glorious race to destiny. The Yankee strategy for winning had not changed since the spitball was outlawed, umpires began replacing balls that had been scuffed or gotten dirty and Ruth arrived in New York. The team lived and died by the three-run home-run. Yankee fans considered any form of small-ball to be a sacrilege and as a result, though lightening-quick Yankees like the great Mantle could have stolen 50 bases a year, they didn't have to. Their orders were to get on a base and stay there until somebody else drove them in. Why on earth argue with success, right?
Well to tell you the truth, the fact that my Yankees were dead last in the American League in stolen bases during their glorious 1961 season bugged the heck out of me. They swiped a base just 28 times that season, 72 fewer than the league-leading Chicago White Sox, who had the great base-stealer, Luis Aparicio on their team at the time. "Little Louie" would turn a single or base-on-balls into a double about fifty times a year and I can remember thinking that as much as I loved Tony Kubek, if the Yankees traded him for Aparicio, it would propel New York to the top of the league's stolen base chart. It never dawned on me of course that the Yankee offense had no need for stolen bases at the time or that the White Sox wouldn't have traded their superlative shortstop and future Hall-of-Famer for six Tony Kubek's.
While waiting for the Aparicio-for-Kubek deal to be consummated, I also remember coming across a list of all-time team records in my Yankee yearbook at the time and finding the name "Fritz Maisel" listed for most steals in a season. In 1914, this native of Catonsville, Maryland set both the big league and the Yankee team record by stealing 74 bases for New York. Ty Cobb would make short-work of Maisel's league record by breaking it the following season, but those 74 steals by the former third-baseman would remain the all-time single-season mark for the Yanks until Ricky Henderson surpassed it in 1985 with his 80 steals.
Maisel may have been able to break his own record and become one of the great base-stealers in league history. In 1915, he followed up his record-breaking stolen-base season by hitting a career-high .281 and stealing 51 more. But in 1916, he hurt his throwing shoulder and could no longer make the throw from third-to-first. When his shoulder didn't improve, the Yanks went out and got Frank "Home Run" Baker to play third and tried playing Maisel at second, where the strength of his throwing arm would matter less. The switch failed and not just because of his sore arm. Maisel's bat also failed him. He hit just .198 during his final season as a Yankee in 1917 and was traded to the Browns. By the way, Ricky Henderson broke his own Yankee single-season stolen-base mark with his 93 steals in 1988, which remains the franchise standard.
Maisel shares his December 23rd birthday with this former Yankee pitcher and this one too.

The schooltext books and media largely focus on the Union perspective. I like seeing the Confederate side getting a little more attention for a change. They werent portrayed like animals like you would usually see. Jeff Daniels did a terrific acting job... |

Question is - when does his option expire? Photoplays have been put together on very tight budgets. M*A*S*H cost 3.5 million, taken in 80+ million. The picture needs to be made very badly to complete the Triology. All it needs is some support to get it rolling. Once the ball starts down hill, it will pick up momentum. ____________________ "War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over." William T.

This is only good news if they stat fairly close to the book and don't try what they did with Gods and Generals. The movie was not as good as the book it was based on. Look at Gettysburg and The Killer Angels. Yes the movie had points where it differed from the book. But unlike Gods and Generals, Gettysburg followed the book better. When I first saw Gods and Generals I was greatly disappointed as I had read Gods and Generals before it was to be made into a movie. I was looking forawrd to some of the scenes in the book being played out on the screen. But so many of those scenes were just plain dropped that the feel of the movie was more one of just using the title of the name of the book and some of the events. If that ends up the case with The Last Full Measure then it won't be a good movie. |

i really think that Gettysburg was so good for the mear fact that it only concentrated on one battle. it has to be hard to make a movie that covers close to 3 years and fit it into a 3 hour movie. i read it somewhere in here that alot of people felt that if they do the Last full measure it would be better to do it in a mini series. look at some of the better civil war movies...Noth and South...blue and the gray. they did much better as a mini series. North and south they did compress some of the mini series..but for the most part it was pretty much what was in the book. i never read blue and the gray, but that was a good series. i really hope they do make the last full measure...this might be controversial, but i think Ron Maxwell needs to stay out of it...i was in the Gettysburg movies when i was a reenactor and that was the best time i ever had as a reenactor. well lets pray that this movies does get done. i think it is something that does need to be made. |

For whatever its worth my husband recently attended a fund raising event where Maxwell was the speaker. His take on the reason there will be no LFM is because it took him years to make Gettysburg and GAG and he didn't have the time to invest in another massive project. And for whatever else its worth I have a slight acquaintance with one of the actors from that 'brothers leaving home' scene in GAG. He wanted to date my daughter..apparently she wasn't interested. I would like to see a dramatization of the events leading up to Appomattox but it doesn't have to be LFM. |

i have to say i am a huge fan of the Shaara trilogy for the civil war. loved Gettysburg, had a few beefs with GaG. who didn't? Maxwell went to native for it, it ended up only being watchable by die hard CW fans. LFM would be awesome, can not have Maxwell be any Part of it. I saw the post about M*A*S*H* could be an idea....... i would want Duvall gone as Lee, give it back to Sheen. must also have Tom Berenger as Longstreet and put Lang somewhere, Daniels as Chamberlin, and also bring back J.E.B STuarts and Hancocks actors back. |

Have to disagree on most of those actors as now they'd just be too old for the roles. Daniels for one just no longer looked the same in Gods and Generals which given the fact that he was about ten years or so older than he had been when filming Gettysburg is no big surprise. It was good to get him back in the role, but Gods and Generals takes place before Gettysburg and even with the makeup he looked like it should be taking place long after. Though with today's computer tech it would be possible to de-age the actors on screen so they could look about the right age. |

Ron Maxwell will Never do this movie due to the unfortuate outcome of G&G.. Point Blank the closest you will ever get to seeing LFM is reading the Book and seeing the Imiages in your head. I am sorry to say but Glory and Gettysburg set a high bar for other Civil War period peices though Ride with the Devil, Gangs of New York, and Cold Mountain were amazing Gods and Generals flat out was Terrible.... |

It isn't going to happen. Not now. Not ever. I suspect that any new Civil war films that come up will be fictional, with (possibly) an historic event like the Battle of the Crater in Cold Montain thrown in. |

If Maxwell had any issues with Turner, perhaps it could have been the Turner is an arrogant pompus a$$ who thinks he knows something about everything. I have no doubt that interfeared with the process. As for Gods and Generals? As a Jackson biography it does rather well. In fact I personally could watch an entire movie about Jackson alone. But even with that, the entire Shanandoah Campaign was left out. However, I understand the need for balance. With that, I must point out (and I'm sure my even my Union friends would agree) That the Federal Army consisted of more than just Joshua Chamberlain. I don't mean any disrespect to him. But I think would have like to have seen a little more focus on Gen. Hancock who in my opinion was the only Federal General in the eastern theatre at that time with the luxury of a working brain. On "Last Full Measure"? Perhaps they should go straight to DVD this time? Lion Heart pictures did a good job on "Wicked Spring" with very little budget. Why not give them a crack at it? Just a thought. |

it's baaaaaack........personally I love Shaara's books and I find it hard to understand the animosity I sense from so many folks. I have long suspected that a certain amount of fictional reading is probably helpful in developing ones capacity for abstract thought. The fact that the books happen to be largely based on historic figures in whom I am intensely interested only heightens the reading experience. I know it's speculation and I have no problem setting aside my disbelief for the sake a good read. Anyway that's my two cents...different strokes etc....I just really wanted to beat the horse in 2011.....let's hope this movie is made before the end of the century.....optimism. |

I've nothing against Shaara's books. My problem here is more with the movie Gods and Generals compared to the movie Gettysburg. They're both based on two of the Shaara's books, Jeff Shaara's Gods and Generals and Micheal Shaara's The Killer Angels respectively. Both are of course Hollywood producing a movie based on a book. So you have to expect some differences at the very least. Of course the greater the differences the more disappointment may be present. But in this case Gettysburg seemed to better follow The Killer Angels than Gods and Generals followed Gods and Generals. There was just too much left out of Gods and Generals that I was quite disappointed. Right now I'd rather see a new production of Gods and Generals, not just the supposed director's cut but something completely new, that better follows the book than see The Last Full Measure. Split it into two movies if you have to, but give us something that better follows the book. Then if it's any good move on to doing The Last Full Measure and again try to stay fairly close to the book. |

mkidder3 History Major
See you must understand that the reason why "Gods and Generals" mainly featured the Confederacy, well because prior to 1863 the Union had very small victories. The main dominate battles were all won by Lee due do Union leadership mistakes. The last full measure would at least i would think,focus on the Union like Grants leadership and probably Shermans march south. This movie would be a great finish to an amazing trilogy.

Fouche Apts. building project closer to becoming a reality
By JAMIE PATTERSON
Managing Editor
The Housing Authority continues to plan for its public hearing with the upcoming building project at the Fouche Apartment Complex.
After a meeting with county, city and housing officials, the project is one step closer to reality.
The Fouche apartment buildings are slated to be demolished. Single-family housing units will then be constructed on the property.
The Housing Authority appeared before the Board of Mayor and Aldermen earlier this month asking for the board's support in its desire to take in acreage of Campanella Park.
There was mixed emotions among city leaders about encroaching upon the local park.
