As an exclusive bonus, the iTunes Season 3 Season Pass will include the free bonus extra: "Tips on Making a Web Series" with producer Kim Evey, director Sean Becker and creator Felicia Day. The three answer questions, submitted by fans through Twitter and our website, about how to make a web series. Er, the title explains it all
Then, on Tuesday, February 15th, Season 3 arrives on DVD exclusively on Amazon.com with a retail price of $14.95!
Bonus features on the DVD include "Do You Want to Date My Avatar" Music Video, The Making of "Do You Want to Date My Avatar," the Halloween episode, Guild Applicant Rejects, How to Build Vork's Sword, Audio Commentary with the Cast, Audio Commentary with the Creator, Director and Producer, Axis of Anarchy Interviews, Gag Reels, PDF of Script, Play All Feature and English Subtitles. The Amazon.com DVD release comes on two DVD-R discs by Amazon's Create Space, and is NTSC format, region-free.
Later in the spring, Season 3 will be released to YouTube and to retail stores via a DVD from New Video (with identical content and cover art but on a single disc).
Lastly, on February 1 you will be able to watch all of Season 1 or Season 2 on Netflix. All episodes have been edited together with only beginning and ending credits, so you can watch them like continuous movie, like the "Play All" DVD feature.

Greps IRC logs for phrases and lists users who said them.
shows all RPMs with files in the current directory & its subdirectories.
Ever use 'locate' to find a common phrase in a filename or directory name? Often you'll get a huge list of matches, many of which are redundant, and typically the results are not sorted. This command will 'locate' your search phrase, then show you a sorted list of just the relevant directories, with no duplications. So, for example, maybe you have installed several versions of the java jre and you want to track down every directory where files matching "java" might exist. Well, a 'locate java' is likely to return a huge list with many repeated directories since many files in one directory could contain the phrase "java". This command will whittle down the results to a minimal list of unique directory names where your search phrase finds a match.

California set back-to-back solar power records last week, the state grid operator said on Monday. The amount of electricity produced from carbon-free solar facilities connected to the grid reached 4,093 megawatts on Saturday, surpassing the day-earlier record of 3,926 MW, the California Independent System Operator (ISO) said in a statement.
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
The Red Faces of the Solar Skeptics
If the faces of renewable energy critics are not red yet, they soon will be. For years, these critics — of solar photovoltaics in particular — have called renewable energy a boutique fantasy. A recent Wall Street Journal blog post continues the trend, asserting that solar subsidies take money from the poor to benefit the rich. But solar-generated electricity is turning into a powerful environmental and economic success story.
Solar Tax Policies Help Level the Playing Field
In February's PHOTON International, SEIA president and CEO Rhone Resch writes about the solar Investment Tax Credit and smart public policies in the face of tax reform.
Illinois Rural Electric Cooperative Opens Solar Facility
Illinois Rural Electric Cooperative held a ribbon cutting for its new 500 kilowatt solar facility which is located south of Winchester on Illinois Route 106, next to one of the substations that serves the cooperative's 7,800 members. The installation is the first utility-scale photovoltaic solar energy system by a cooperative in Illinois.
Johnson and Salerno: Nevada is Cashing in on Renewable Energy
While Americans know wind and solar energy are clean, they often aren't aware of the economic success story behind these renewable-energy technologies. Wind and solar power have economic benefits that reach far and wide. They have become increasingly affordable, attracting billions in private development, and today are both mainstream and reliable energy sources across America.
SEIA Calls for Negotiations to End China Solar Trade Dispute
WASHINGTON – Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), released the following statement today in response to new U.S. trade petitions filed by SolarWorld USA against crystalline silicon solar products from China and Taiwan:
SEIA Welcomes Canadian Solar as Newest Board Member
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ), one of the world's largest solar power companies, has officially joined the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) at the board level.
New Poll Shows Growing Support for Solar in Massachusetts
A new statewide poll shows that nearly 70 percent of Massachusetts voters believe the solar power industry is important to the Massachusetts economy – up 10 percent since June. The poll, conducted by Princeton Research Associates and released today by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), also shows that nearly 60 percent of voters see direct benefits from solar power in their cities and towns.
SEIA Expresses Concerns About Newly-Released Senate Tax Plan
WASHINGTON, D.C. – After reviewing a draft tax plan released today by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), released the following statement:
U.S. Solar Industry Records Second Largest Quarter Ever
WASHINGTON, D.C. AND BOSTON, MA — GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association® (SEIA®) today released U.S. Solar Market Insight: 3rd Quarter 2013, the definitive analysis of solar power markets in the U.S., with strategic state-specific data for 28 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
New Solar Garden Industry About to Bloom for Xcel Customers
Utility regulators planted the seeds Thursday to sprout community solar gardens across the service territory of Minnesota's largest electric utility. At least a dozen renewable energy companies are gearing up to develop solar gardens for Xcel Energy customers. Under rules that won preliminary approval from the state Public Utilities Commission, the companies soon can begin promoting clean energy under a business model that has been popular in Colorado and other states.
Making Solar Power History at Ivanpah
On February 13, 2014, U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz helped celebrate the official opening of Ivanpah, the world's largest concentrating solar power plant.
New Study Finds 4,100 Solar Jobs in Texas
A new report from The Solar Foundation (TSF), a national non-profit research organization, finds more than 4,100 Texans are now working in the solar power industry, marking a 28 percent increase in solar jobs in one year. In addition, Texas has moved up to sixth place in national rankings for solar jobs, from eighth in 2012.
New Study Finds Solar Jobs Grow 225% in Georgia
A new report from The Solar Foundation (TSF), a national non-profit research organization, finds more than 2,600 Georgians are now working in the solar power industry and that Georgia had the highest rate of growth - 225 per cent - in the nation between September 2012 and November 2013, jumping from twenty-third to seventeenth place overall in national rankings for solar jobs.
SunEdison Installs Solar Parking Canopy at Whole Foods in Brooklyn
Solar Novus Today
SunEdison, a solar technology manufacturer and provider of solar energy services, announced the completion of a 306kW (kilowatt) DC (direct current) solar system for Whole Foods Market in Brooklyn, New York (US).
SunEdison designed the system using an innovative parking canopy structure that collects rainwater while protecting customers from the elements. The two companies have worked together since 2004 and have jointly deployed 1.5MW (megawatts) of solar projects.
It's that time of year when many Americans are just returning from a summer vacation. During their travels, most of those vacationers probably passed by some of the many solar projects, large and small, being installed across the country. However, they probably didn't know that while they were on holiday, smart policies were at work speeding up deployment of solar projects. From PV farms to solar water heating systems, solar is having a record growth year and is creating stable, well-paying American jobs.
The end of a long winter and the welcomed start of spring bring the all-American sport back to life. The last season transitions to memory, baseball fans ponder the present condition of their teams and we all smile at the opportunity to go outside without a coat. Spring also brings another event, the release of SEIA's annual "U.S. Solar Year in Review".
Across the country, people will start tuning in today to see how well they've done filling out their brackets for the NCAA basketball tournament. When it comes to making their picks for energy, three out of four Americans have solar going all the way in their bracket.
What is apparent during the time we've been here in Copenhagen representing the U.S. solar industry is that the renewable energy industry has become a force in the climate debate. No longer are we relying on the environmental community to carry our message (which they have done well in the past).
Earlier today, I attended a briefing by U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu in which he announced a new initiative that the administration is launching to expand clean energy technologies in developing countries. This program is a great sign of leadership by the administration given how vocal developing countries have been here at COP15.

Imagine you're 12 years old and broken.
The courts took you away from your drug addict mother and physically abusive father at age 10, placing you in a facility for abused kids that turned out to be a nest of sexual abusers. One staff member has taken a special interest in you, grooming you with special trips, gifts and personal attention that continue through foster care and a juvenile detention center. You've even gotten to know his family.
So when he offers you an opportunity to disappear with him at age 12, you take it, beginning almost six years of moving from place to place — and almost six years of sexual, physical and mental abuse that you're too badly damaged to escape. You never attend school through this whole period. As far as anyone else knows, you're a runaway, most likely dead.
By the time you find the strength to break away from the nightmare at age 17, the physical and mental scars are incalculable. You return to your father, and tell him nothing about what really happened. At age 22, you slash your wrists, the first of several attempts to kill yourself. Therapists offer drugs to stop the pain, and you begin abusing them.

By the time you finally tell the authorities what happened to you — emailing Gov. Rendell himself for help — they can't file charges, because the case falls outside the state's statutes of limitations as they existed at the time of the offenses. Imagine your frustration, even rage, fueled by continued drug abuse. Your marriage, which produces two children, fails, and you know you bear much of the blame. You end up with lots of time to think about it, because you're confined to federal prison for several years over an attempt to drag your estranged wife back home across state lines.
Your abuser? He's still working with young people, a situation that torments you. That first faith-based school, which had all kinds of signals that something bad was happening? It's protected by the statute of limitations, too.
I decided to meet last week with this survivor, now 37, because his story is a textbook example of why Pennsylvania needs to change its statute of limitations laws regarding child sex abuse. He was one of several abuse survivors who attended the recent Capitol press conference where advocates and legislators announced the reintroduction of bills that would make it easier to bring abusers to justice.
For legal reasons, I need to leave the names out and keep certain details vague, so let's just call him Tom. I have no way of verifying the details of Tom's story, even though I spent a couple of hours talking to him and found him credible. I also spoke with his lawyer, who said he interviewed the man at length twice, weeks apart, and the story never wavered. The lawyer finds him credible, too.
Since Tom was released from prison, there have been positive developments. He says his continuing therapy, his growing religious faith and responsibility for his children — he was given custody about six months after he got out of prison — have put his life on a healthier path. He still is battling post traumatic stress disorder, but he has a good job, and his personal life seems to be in a much better place.
He sent a brief written account of his nightmare to members of the state House Judiciary Committee in December 2011, when two bills aimed at reforming Pennsylvania's statute of limitations laws were buried there for months because the committee's leaders from both parties didn't want it brought up for open discussion and a vote. Watered-down versions of the bills finally were voted out of the committee last year, but they never made it to the House floor.
This brings us back to that recent press conference, where the introduction of new versions of those two bills was announced. They are HB 237, which would remove the statute of limitations for criminal charges and civil lawsuits, and HB 238, which would open a two-year window for victims to bring civil action in cases barred by the current law. The latter is particularly vital for Tom and other victims of past abuse, including many of those whose horrors were described in grand jury reports about child sex abuse in the Catholic Church's Philadelphia Archdiocese.
I asked advocates Maureen Martinez of Justice4PAkids and Tammy Lerner of the Foundation to Abolish Child Sex Abuse about the prospects for the bills. Martinez sounded upbeat; Lerner discouraged by what happened last legislative session. Both agree the legislation is vital.
At the end of a long interview, I asked Tom what passage of those bills would mean to him. He spoke almost as if that young boy were a different person.
"It would give me, Tommy, a voice," he said. "It would enable me to help that little innocent child who was victimized. I'm a man now, speaking for him. I just want justice."
He said it felt good to stand up there in the Capitol last month to lend his presence to this important effort. It's the same reason he wanted to talk to me and get his story out.
"Instead of doing drugs," he said, "instead of trying to kill myself, I'm doing something positive."
Now it's the Legislature's turn. Again.

Former St. Clair Co. judge back in court for sentencing today
The former metro-east judge at the center of a courthouse drug scandal could learn his punishment today on federal gun and heroin charges.
Last month U.S. District Judge Joe Billy McDade rejected a plea deal with former St. Clair County judge Michael Cook. McDade had called the proposed 18 month prison term too lenient. The judge delayed proceedings until today to give both sides time to negotiate a stiffer prison sentence for him to consider.
At a 10:30 a.m. hearing, McDade could hand down that sentence -- if the two sides came to terms and if McDade finds the sentence stiff enough.
Cook still has the right to withdraw his November guilty plea and request a trial.
McKay sentencing to proceed; judge upholds disputed armed robbery verdict
Sentencing for Cornell McKay will go on as scheduled, despite his attorney's pleas for a review of the jury's verdict against him. McKay will be sentenced March 20th for armed robbery.
His attorneys had asked St. Louis Circuit Judge Robin Vannoy to give them 60 days to investigate whether evidence that suggests Megan Boken's killer may have committed the crime was improperly kept out of McKay's trial. Boken was killed by Keith Esters during a similar robbery a few days later in the same neighborhood.
The judge declined the request.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Vannoy also declined a prosecution request to bar McKay's often vocal supporters from the courtroom during sentencing.
McKay's attorneys say they plan to take the case to the state appellate court.
Hospital worker to be sentenced in hepatitis case
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A traveling medical technician who infected dozens of patients in multiple states with hepatitis C through tainted syringes was due to find out Monday how many decades he'll spend in a New Hampshire prison.
David Kwiatkowski, 34, worked as a cardiac technologist in 18 hospitals in seven states before being hired at New Hampshire's Exeter Hospital in 2011, moving from job to job despite being fired at least four times over allegations of drug use and theft. Since his arrest last year, 46 people in four states have been diagnosed with the same strain of hepatitis C he carries.
Kwiatkowski, who has admitted stealing painkillers and replacing them with saline-filled syringes tainted with his blood, pleaded guilty in August to 16 federal drug charges.
In court documents filed last week, prosecutors said Kwiatkowski should spend 40 years in prison because he created a "national public health crisis," put a significant number of people at risk and caused substantial physical and emotional harm to a large number of victims. Defense lawyers argued that a 30-year sentence would better balance the seriousness of the crimes against Kwiatkowski's mental and emotional problems and his addiction to drugs and alcohol, which they said clouded his judgment.
In all, 32 patients were infected in New Hampshire, seven in Maryland, six in Kansas and one in Pennsylvania. Kwiatkowski, 34, also worked in Michigan, New York, Arizona and Georgia.
Two of the 16 charges stem from the case of a Kansas patient who has since died. Authorities say hepatitis C, a blood-borne virus that can cause liver disease and chronic health problems, played a contributing role.
St. Clair court scandal forces new murder trial
There's more fallout from the St. Clair County Courts scandal.
A metro-east man who was supposed to be sentenced on a murder conviction yesterday is instead getting a new trial.
Twenty-nine-year-old William Cosby had been convicted in April of shooting a man to death outside an East St. Louis nightclub.
Yesterday, St. Clair County Circuit Judge Robert Haida ordered a new trial. The problem? Cosby's trial judge had been Michael Cook, who is now facing drug and weapons charges.
Cosby's attorneys argued that it had been unfair that prosecutors had known Cook was being investigated and the defense had not. Judge Haida agreed.
Cosby remains in the St. Clair County Jail on a million dollar bond while he awaits that new trial.
Man sentenced for pair of drug trafficking crimes
A man called Outlaw is headed to prison for his role in two violent crimes.
Stanley "Outlaw" Carter was sentenced in federal court to 20 years behind bars. In 2008 Carter was first involved in an armed home invasion and stole a large amount of marijuana. Later in the year he was involved in a shooting that left two men dead.
A judge said both of the crimes were related to a drug trafficking operation and the fruits of a federal investigation.
Sen. Jesse Jackson Jr. and wife sentenced to prison time
WASHINGTON (AP) - The wife of former Illinois congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. has been sentenced to one year in prison for filing false joint federal income tax returns that understated the income the couple received.
Sandra Jackson admitted in a guilty plea earlier this year that from mid-2006 through mid-October of last year, she failed to report $600,000 in income that she and her husband earned from 2005 to 2011.
Mrs. Jackson was a Chicago alderman before she resigned during a federal investigation of the couple.
She was sentenced Wednesday along with her husband. Jesse Jackson Jr. was sentenced to two and a half years in prison after pleading guilty to engaging in a scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items.
Holder proposes changes in criminal justice system
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder is calling for major changes to the nation's criminal justice system that would scale back the use of harsh prison sentences for certain drug-related crimes, divert people convicted of low-level offenses to drug treatment and community service programs and expand a prison program to allow for release of some elderly, non-violent offenders.
In remarks prepared for delivery Monday to the American Bar Association in San Francisco, Holder said he is mandating a change to Justice Department policy so that low-level, non-violent drug offenders with no ties to large-scale organizations, gangs or cartels won't be charged with offenses that impose mandatory minimum sentences.
Mandatory minimum prison sentences — a product of the government's war on drugs in the 1980s — limit the discretion of judges to impose shorter prison sentences.
Under the altered policy, the attorney general said defendants will instead be charged with offenses for which accompanying sentences "are better suited to their individual conduct, rather than excessive prison terms more appropriate for violent criminals or drug kingpins."
Federal prisons are operating at nearly 40 percent above capacity and hold more than 219,000 inmates — with almost half of them serving time for drug-related crimes and many of them with substance use disorders. In addition, 9 million to 10 million prisoners go through local jails each year. Holder praised state and local law enforcement officials for already instituting some of the types of changes Holder says must be made at the federal level.
Aggressive enforcement of federal criminal laws is necessary, but "we cannot simply prosecute or incarcerate our way to becoming a safer nation," Holder said. "Today, a vicious cycle of poverty, criminality and incarceration traps too many Americans and weakens too many communities. However, many aspects of our criminal justice system may actually exacerbate this problem, rather than alleviate it."
"We need to ensure that incarceration is used to punish, deter and rehabilitate — not merely to convict, warehouse and forget," said the attorney general.
Holder said mandatory minimum sentences "breed disrespect for the system. When applied indiscriminately, they do not serve public safety. They have had a disabling effect on communities. And they are ultimately counterproductive."
Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Rand Paul, R-Ky., have introduced legislation aimed at giving federal judges more discretion in applying mandatory minimums to certain drug offenders.
Holder said new approaches — which he is calling the "Smart On Crime" initiative — are the result of a Justice Department review he launched early this year.
The attorney general said some issues are best handled at the state or local level and said he has directed federal prosecutors across the country to develop locally tailored guidelines for determining when federal charges should be filed, and when they should not.
"By targeting the most serious offenses, prosecuting the most dangerous criminals, directing assistance to crime 'hot spots,' and pursuing new ways to promote public safety, deterrence, efficiency and fairness — we can become both smarter and tougher on crime," Holder said.
The attorney general said 17 states have directed money away from prison construction and toward programs and services such as treatment and supervision that are designed to reduce the problem of repeat offenders.
In Kentucky, legislation has reserved prison beds for the most serious offenders and refocused resources on community supervision. The state, Holder said, is projected to reduce its prison population by more than 3,000 over the next 10 years, saving more than $400 million.
He also cited investments in drug treatment in Texas for non-violent offenders and changes to parole policies which he said brought about a reduction in the prison population of more than 5,000 inmates last year. He said similar efforts helped Arkansas reduce its prison population by more than 1,400. He also pointed to Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Hawaii as states that have improved public safety while preserving limited resources.
Holder also said the department is expanding a policy for considering compassionate release for inmates facing extraordinary or compelling circumstances, and who pose no threat to the public. He said the expansion will include elderly inmates who did not commit violent crimes and who have served significant portions of their sentences.
Sentencing delaying in corruption trial
EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (AP) — A federal judge has again delayed the sentencing of a former Madison County treasurer to allow him to continue cooperating with a federal corruption investigation.
U.S. District Judge David Herndon on Friday delayed Fred Bathon's sentencing from August 30th until December 6th. Earlier this year the judge delayed Bathon's sentencing from May until August.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports Bathon's attorney filed a motion requesting the delay. Prosecutors didn't object.
Bathon pleaded guilty in February to rigging 2005-2008 tax lien auctions so that his political donors profited from inflated penalties paid by property owners.
Bathon could receive a prison sentence of between 31 and 40 months, though his sentence could be reduced because of his cooperation with investigators.
Illinois court throws out convictions for DWI wreck, keeps prison time
ST. LOUIS (AP) - An Illinois appeals court has thrown out 31 convictions involving a woman who drunkenly caused a 2009 wreck that killed four people, although the panel let stand a 20-year prison sentence the woman said was excessive.
On Wednesday, the Mount Vernon, Ill.-based 5th District Appellate Court threw out all but one of Melissa Weiser's 32 convictions for felony aggravated driving under the influence, ruling them redundant even though the former East Carondolet woman pleaded guilty to the charges.
The 31-year-old unsuccessfully pressed to have her 20-year prison sentence reduced in connection with the Clinton County wreck that killed her fiance and three occupants of the another vehicle on Memorial Day weekend in 2009.
Weiser admitted she had been drinking and had smoked marijuana before the accident.
Cooking oil thief sentenced to prison
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - A southwest Missouri man will serve one year and one day in prison with no chance of parole for evading federal reporting rules to conceal a scheme to sell stolen cooking oil.
The U.S. Attorney's office says in a news release Monday that 46-year-old Jesse Arnold of Sarcoxie was sentenced Friday. He also must also forfeit $207,817.
Arnold operated 4 States Grease Company, which collected spent cooking oil for recycling. He admitted last December that he knew he was buying old cooking oil that had been stolen by various drivers from businesses in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
Prosecutors said Arnold avoided federal reporting requirements by making withdrawals from his business checking count for less than $10,000. Banks must file a currency transaction report for any financial transaction over $10,000.

Once again Shimano's Ultegra 6700 brakes mirrors Shimano Dura-Ace's 7900 only differing in the material used to reduce weight. Shimano redesigned the arches of the caliper to improve braking power and modulation. The cable stop has been lowered to reduce cable drag and improving how the cable is routed. The barrel adjuster is now bigger making it easier for on-the-fly adjustment. Stock brake pads provide double the braking power in wet conditions and greatly improves it in dry conditions.

From another 501st member, I to would like to thank all the Legion members who attended DW 2012.
I meet a few of you or rather those I recognized from the forum here & so introduced myself.
I'm currently working towards membership with Master Jedi Quinlan Vos
Thank you all who attended & those I did not meet.

It was a draw.
Then the Sith realized they had a prior engagement and had to leave.

GPA Calculator
This calculator will compute your GPA for a single semester, or if you know your current GPA and total number of credits, it will compute your cumulative GPA including these current grades. It should be self-explanatory and you can use either upper- or lower-case letters for the grades.
Please note:
- If you are taking a class P/NC, do not apply it to the GPA calculator. It will not take it into consideration since it will not affect your GPA.
- The calculator cannot accept 1/2 credit hours.
- ACES credits do not count towards your GPA.
Target GPA Calculator
- This calculator will tell you what GPA you will need for your next semester, year, etc. to reach a GPA goal.
- You just need know what your current GPA and the number of credits you've already completed.
- Choose a target GPA and a number of credits in which to attain that target!

Just seen the post on the wos homepage. Really hope this is true. Whilst I'm worried whether it would find an audience I do think the west end is lacking an old fashioned style broadway dance based show.
Newsies Coming To London?!?

I'd love to see this in London, and I don't think it'd struggle that much to get an audience, it would attract the same type of people who are going to see Singin in the Rain in droves. Yes, the latter has the film to advertise off, but Newsies can use the Disney name and market itself as good old-fashioned feel-good entertainment and I think it could do well.
Posted 04 September 2012 - 10:16 PM
Wonder what theatre Disney are looking at, on Broadway it plays at the Nederlander Theatre which has 1232 seats so they'll need a theatre with a similar capacity. Its not a big production so it'll fit into most midsized theatre, I think the Aldwych or the Victoria Palace would be perfect,
Posted 05 September 2012 - 06:46 AM
Hope this is true...
Posted 05 September 2012 - 08:32 AM
The Phoenix...?
Posted 05 September 2012 - 09:07 AM
This show is only going in a larger venue. Given the height of the set, I don't think we are talking of the aldwych/Phoenix variety here, more the Victoria palace/ dominion size.
Posted 05 September 2012 - 09:27 AM
The stage of the Nederlanders is on par with the Phoenix/Aldwych though.
Posted 05 September 2012 - 12:36 PM
The Phoenix isn't big enough capacity wise, think Once or an ATG production is more likely.
The Aldwych has hosted biggish shows before so Newsies could fit but I think Disney would prefer a theatre like the Adelphi, Victoria Palace or Palace.

Posted 05 September 2012 - 01:45 PM
Yes it is big enough capacity wise, it's only 200 smaller than the Nederlander. The nederlander actually feels quite intimate as its only two levels, and the mezz isn't that big, but the seats go very wide.
Posted 06 September 2012 - 12:31 AM
Would the Savoy be big enough? It's has 1100 seats which is okay for a musical theatre but don't know if it's big enough stage wise to hold a show like Newsies.

Handwritten talisman, Ashanti people, Ghana, 1891-1900
The use of written personal charms, or talisman, is common across a wide range of cultures. They may be intended to provide protection or ensure good health for an individual. They may also be used to harm or otherwise disable an enemy. In many African societies, the production of such written charms was one of the roles expected of the local shaman. This written talisman is shown on the right, alongside two other examples (A666428/3 and A666428/4). The talisman was one of a number collected by Robert Baden-Powell. Known worldwide as the founder of the Scout movement, Baden-Powell had a lengthy military career and this object dates from that period of his life. Almost certainly it was found while he was part of the British colonial forces who in 1895 invaded the Ashanti areas of West Africa, in what is now modern day Ghana. This was one of a series of conflicts between the Ashanti people and the British Empire that took place throughout the 19th century.

Ditch the condensed "cream of whatever" soups and make this instead. You only need 10 minutes of hands-on cooking time for a filling yet light bowl of comforting soup.

Bizarre Stat of the Night
Sidney Crosby overtook the Leafs Tim Connolly in the scoring race despite playing in 48 fewer games.
Akim the Dream
Akim Aliu scored his first two National Hockey League goals to go along with three shots and two hits. The Flames right winger also had ten PIM for good measure in a 5-2 Calgary win over Anaheim.
Going out on a High Note
The Blue Jackets finished up their dismal 2011-12 season with a 7-3 victory over the Islanders. Cam Atkinson, James Wisniewski, and Vinny Prospal each recorded three points while ten Blue Jackets made the score sheet. Hopefully Columbus can carry that momentum into the Draft Lottery next week.
Smashville is Coming
The Predators pounded the Avalanche 6-1 on Saturday. Nashville had 12 players that recorded a point and Craig Smith was the best of the bunch picking up three. The goaltending was also solid as Pekka Rinne and Anders Lindback combined to stop 44 of 45 Colorado shots.
Honourable Mention
Two for the Money
Ilya Kovalchuk, Tyler Seguin, Brad Boyes, Bobby Ryan, and Taylor Pyatt all had two goals on the night.
Patrice Bergeron
A regular staple on the Saturday Studs and Duds, Bergeron had three assists in the Bruins victory over the Sabres.
Mikael Samuelsson
Samuelsson picked up three points, three shots, and three hits in a Panthers victory.
Nice effort by Vancouver winning their second straight Presidents Trophy on the back of a shutout by Roberto Luongo.
The Sharks beat the Kings and avoided the Canucks in the first round with two goals from Dan Boyle and two assists each from Martin Havlat and Logan Couture.
Evgeni Malkin scored goal number 50 and Steven Stamkos hit the 60 goal mark.
Snowed Under
Tough way to finish out the year for the Avalanche as they only managed one goal on 45 shots against the Predators. Not to mention 15 skaters finished with a minus rating and Milan Hejduk, Matt Hunwick, and Erik Johnson were a combined minus-9.
Going through the Motions
The Rangers had a chance to win the Presidents Trophy coming into today but they didnt look interested. They gave up two goals in the first two minutes of the game and Henrik Lundqvist gave up four goals on just 17 shots.
Where's Nabokov when you need him?
Al Montoya gave up seven goals to the Blue Jackets of all teams. Without Evgeni Nabokov this year the Islanders goaltending would be in shambles as no one else has played with any consistency.
Dishonourable Mention
Tim Connolly
Connolly finished minus-4 and was on the ice for every Montreal goal.
Justin Falk
Not to be confused with Carolina's Justin Faulk, Minnesota's Justin Falk finished minus-3 against Phoenix.
