The Codex Vaticanus is said to be the oldest almost complete manuscript of which book? | Codex Vaticanus
Codex Vaticanus
(B)
The Codex Vaticanus, so called because it is the most famous manuscript in the possession of the Vatican library, is generally believed to be from the fourth century, and is thought to be the oldest (nearly) complete copy of the Greek Bible in existence. Lacking from it are most of the book of Genesis, Hebrews 9:14 to the end, the Pastoral Epistles, and the book of Revelation; these parts were lost by damage to the front and back of the volume, which is common in ancient manuscripts. The writing is in capital letters (called uncial script) without spaces between words (scriptio continuo), and is arranged in three columns on the page. Like other early manuscripts, its text is somewhat shorter than the later manuscripts, less harmonistic in parallel passages of the Synoptic Gospels, and it often agrees with the texts presumed to underlie the ancient Coptic, Syriac, and Latin versions against the later Greek manuscripts. It is relatively free of obvious transcriptional errors, and is usually taken as the best representative of the ancient "Alexandrian" form of the New Testament text.
For many years Codex Vaticanus was highly esteemed by scholars who knew next to nothing about it, besides its evident antiquity. Johann Bengel in his Gnomon (see Bengel 1742 ) makes the following remark concerning it: "The number of witnesses who support each reading of every passage ought to be carefully examined: and to that end, in so doing, we should separate those codices ... which are known to have been carefully collated, as, for instance, the Alexandrine, from those which are not known to have been carefully collated, or which are known to have been carelessly collated, as for instance the Vatican MS., which otherwise would be almost without an equal." (Fausset's translation, vol. 1, pp. 15-16). It was jealously guarded by the librarians of the Vatican, and practically inaccessible to competent scholars for most of the nineteenth century (see remarks under Mai 1857 ), during which its reputation was magnified by the mystique surrounding it. When at last its text was fully revealed, in many places seconded by the recently discovered Codex Sinaiticus , the stage was set for the influential text of Tischendorf 1869 and the even more important edition of Westcott and Hort 1881 .
Tischendorf 1867 was the first reliable edition of the manuscript to be published. It was preceded by that of Cardinal Mai (see Mai 1857 , partly corrected in Vercellone 1859 ), and by Hansell 1864 . Mai's edition was soon discovered to be very faulty, and scholars generally did not accept it as being more reliable than the collations which were already available to them (see Birch 1788 , 1798 , and Ford 1799 ), and Hansell's edition was based upon Mai's. Later editions of the manuscript are Vercellone 1868 , Cozza 1889 , Vatican 1904 , and Martini 1968 . An excellent color facsimile of the entire codex has been published: Bibliorum Sacrorum Graecorum Codex Vaticanus B. (Roma: Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato, 1999). Full collations are in the apparatus of Tischendorf 1869 and Tregelles 1857 (for which see the Corrigenda). An English translation is presented in Parker 1863 . The most complete collation in English is in Tischendorf 1869 b .

4.2.2.1 Codex Vaticanus
The Codex Vaticanus, so called because it is the most famous copy in the possession of the
Vatican
library, is probably transcribed during the first half of the fourth century. It was found over a thousand years later in 1481 in the
Vatican
library in
Rome
. No one seems interested in analyzing it, and its original has not been found. It is thought to be the oldest (nearly) complete copy of the Greek Bible in existence. The total number of leaves is 759. The Old Testament is almost complete and consists of 617 leaves. The New Testament is made up of 142 leaves. The leaves measure about 10.8 inches on each side. However, it lacks most of the book of Genesis, Hebrews 9:14 to the end, the Pastoral Epistles, and the book of Revelation. Also, Matthew 16:2 f. is omitted, Mark ends at 16:8 (Mark 16:9-20 mentions the resurrection and ascension of Jesus), Luke
22:43
f., and John 5:4 are omitted. Pages 1519-1536 that contain Hebrews 9:14 through Revelation were lost and replaced by a 15th century minuscule supplement (no. 1957). It is written on vellum, 27-28 cm. x 27-28 cm. There are three columns and 40-44 lines per column. The ink used is brown
The writing is in capital letters (called uncial script) without spaces between words, and is arranged in three columns on the page. Like other early manuscripts, its text is somewhat shorter than the later manuscripts and less harmonious in parallel passages of the Synoptic Gospels. The Old Testament quotations are indicated. It has peculiar chapter divisions in the Gospels; double chapter division in Acts; brief subscription for each of the Pauline Epistles. It is usually assumed as the best representative of the ancient "Alexandrian" form of the New Testament text.
The codex is the work of two scribes, who are frequently called as A and B. One scribe worked on the Old Testament and another on the New Testament. A corrector went through the manuscript, probably soon after its writing. Then a second corrector worked on the manuscript much later (tenth or eleventh century) and traced over the faded letters with fresh ink omitting letters and words he considered to be wrong. He also added accent and breathing marks. Punctuation is very rare and apostrophe occasionally used. The manuscript contains mysterious double dots (German "umlauts") in the margin of the New Testament, which seem to indicate positions of textual variants. The date of these is disputed among scholars. Some scholars think Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus were among the 50 copies that Emperor Constantine commissioned Eusebius to have made. However, others have argued that Constantine's manuscripts were Byzanyine, which would rule out that possibility.

Trivia
In a 1976 interview with Photoplay Film Magazine, Michael Caine (Kurt Steiner) claimed that his main reason for accepting this role was that he had turned down Where Eagles Dare (1968) and did not want to turn down another World War II film with "Eagle" in its title. See more »
Goofs
At the church, Steiner wears a black leather jacket. That particular jacket was only given to Luftwaffe Pilots, not Luftwaffe paratroopers, regardless of Officer status. In reality he would have worn the same jacket as Captain Von Neustadt does late in the movie.. See more »
Quotes
[first lines]
Narrator : [WWII News Story] September 12, 1943, German paratroopers snatched Mussolini from his mountaintop prison in Italy.
(Atlanta, Georgia) – See all my reviews
OK, to respond to the "review" from Richard WA.
The movie is of course based on Jack Higgins' bestseller of the same name and like many debut books, is by far the best book he wrote - being written over a period of years as Higgins worked as a schoolteacher. It is meticulously researched and a fine read.
Now the film.
First, Of course an historically illiterate US teen would barely comprehend that history existed pre World War II or understand that the USA doesn't have a monopoly of the eagle as a national symbol. I read the book back in the mid-70's and never even thought about moon landings. For war movies/books, "eagles" are forever associated with Germany & that the USA also uses an eagle as a national symbol is purely coincidental.
Richard WA can relax in the knowledge that few outside his peer group experienced his confusion.
Second, By telling the story from the German perspective, we get a new appreciation of the German fighting man's view. Just as "Das Boot" gave us an insight into the German mind, so too does this. A similar experience can be had watching the WWII POW camp movie "The McKenzie Break" where German POW's try to escape from a British camp - quite interesting really. But I guess if you're only interested in rooting for the Red, White and Blue, this is not your thing.
Third, The accents are brilliantly done. It was decided for the movie that the comical Hollywood "German" accent would not be used. The "Ve haff vays of making you tork you schweinhund" is nowhere to be seen, instead the German characters use perfect accentless English to great effect.
Fourth, Sutherland's Irish character, Devlin, is not a Nazi sympathiser. He agrees to support the operation because the Germans offer to pay him a fortune to do so. Money for the cause etc.
Fifth, The pre-operation phase of the movie is actually too short - as the producers wanted more of an action flick than the book delivers. In the book, the planning of the operation is analysed to infinite detail, down to the uniform details and relative attributes of allied versus German parachutes. I guess if your experience is computer games, then exposure to any kind of pre-operation detail is not something you're used to.
Sixth, A newcomer in WWII Britain would certainly raise suspicion and Sutherland's character certainly does do that - not really a flaw of the book/movie but an operational problem that the Germans just had to accept given the timeframes involved.
Seventh, Jenny Agutter's character is completely unbelievable. Try to ignore that part of the movie - thankfully she's there for purely aesthetic purposes.
Eighth, The 5th columnist who already lives in the English village is actually a South African survivor of the British concentration camps - as explained in the movie. Perhaps Richard WA thought they were a German invention or more likely he's never heard of the Boer War and sleepwalked through that part of the movie.
Ninth, The "battle" scene is deliberately short to emphasise the gulf in class between German paratroops and National Guards. When the Germans are confronted by real soldiers, they're defeated in short order. Larry Hagman's character is a poor caricature and serves only to supply a comic element that's not needed - something the movie suffers from as if the producer was scared to make the movie too gritty. Richard WA's last point is most revealing. Why should Germans fight for Germany when everyone knew that they were going to lose and were on the wrong side anyway. Who ever heard of a brave German soldier fighting to the end anyway? Despite what many think, Americans don't have an monopoly on patriotism either - I doubt if he ever wonders why Steve McQueen never settled for a comfortable life in a German POW camp!
Tenth, Yeah, the tunnel is something of a contrived device...it's not in the book BTW.
Eleventh, The reason for not spiriting "Churchill" away after the attempt to kidnap him was precisely because the British wanted Germany to think he was there and not in Tehran! The whole point of a decoy is that it's visible and attracts the attention while the real principal is concealed.
In summery, the Eagle has Landed is a solid attempt to film a great book. I doubt, given the plot, that a universally appealing movie could've been made but the greatest movies ever are not universally appealing. Movies you love as children are not regarded in the same way in adulthood.
The Eagle has Landed is in many ways like "The Day of the Jackal". Most of the action goes on inside the principals' heads. Deception, mental thought processes and subterfuge don't make good cinema. However the movie has some very good points:
Great locations. Great actors doing good jobs (Jenny Agutter excepted)
especially Donald Pleasance doing the best ever spine-chilling
portrayal of Himmler. Good twist at the end. Challenging portrayal of "the enemy".
I recommend it - it's not "A Bridge Too far" but it's pretty good.

[ edit ] Early life
Heinrich Himmler was born in Munich to a Bavarian middle-class family. His father was Joseph Gebhard Himmler , a secondary-school teacher and principal. His mother was Anna Maria Himmler (maiden name Heyder), a devout Roman Catholic and attentive mother. Heinrich had an older brother, Gebhard Ludwig Himmler (b. July 29 , 1898 ), and a younger brother, Ernst Hermann Himmler (b. December 23 , 1905 ). [1] Himmler's childhood was quite normal. One could even suggest he was privileged. His father and mother were strict but actively involved in the rearing of their three children.
Heinrich was named after his godparent , Prince Heinrich of Wittelsbach of the royal family of Bavaria , who was tutored by Gebhard Himmler [2] . This could possibly shed insight on Himmler's lifelong obsession with rank and status. In 1910 , Himmler began attending elite Gymnasia secondary schools in Munich and Landshut , where studies revolved around classic literature . While he struggled in athletics, he was quite bright and did well in his schoolwork. Also, at the behest of his father, Heinrich kept a fairly extensive diary from age 10 until the age of 24. He also had various extracurricular activities he enjoyed: chess , harpsichord , stamp collecting and gardening . During Himmler's youth, and into adulthood, he was never quite at ease in his interactions with the opposite sex. [3]
In 1914 World War I began, and Himmler's diaries from the time show that he was extremely interested in news pertaining to it. He began imploring his father to utilize his royal connections to land him a position as an officer candidate. His parents objected yet acquiesced, allowing him to train upon graduation from secondary school in 1918 with the 11th Bavarian Regiment. Since he was not athletic, he struggled throughout this military training. Later in that same year, the war ended with Germany's defeat. The Treaty of Versailles , which Germany signed limiting its military numbers, scuppered his aspirations of becoming a professional army officer, and he was discharged. He never saw battle.
In 1919 to 1922 Himmler studied agronomy at Munich Technische Hochschule after a short-lived apprenticeship on a farm and subsequent illness [4] . Himmler at this time was pursuing a chaste lifestyle when he became interested in a young girl who was the daughter of the owner of a place where he would eat. In his diary he compares his initial encounter with her as being akin to finding himself a sister. Later he experienced rejection when he let his true feelings be known to her. This is only a detail worth mentioning in order to demonstrate his awkwardness with women throughout life. Himmler viewed women through the scope of their role as it pertains to the needs of men, as this following diary excerpt demonstrates:
"A proper man loves a woman on three levels: as a dear child who is to be chided, perhaps even punished on account of her unreasonableness, and who is protected and taken care of because one loves her. Then as wife and as a loyal, understanding comrade who fights through life with one, who stands faithfully at one's side without hemming in or chaining the man and his spirit. And as a goddess whose feet one must kiss, who gives one strength through her feminine wisdom and childlike, pure sanctity that does not weaken in the hardest struggles and in the ideal hours gives one heavenly peace." [5]
Himmler also underwent religious turmoil during his studies at Munich Technische Hochschule. In his diaries he claimed to be a devout Catholic, and wrote that he would never turn away from the church. Yet he was a member of a fraternity which he felt to be at odds with the tenets of the church, other biographers uncovered Himmler's theology was that of Ariosophy , his own religious dogma of racial superiority of the hypothetical "Aryan race" and Germanic neopaganism partly from his interests in folklore and mythology of the ancient Teutonic tribes of Northern Europe. Himmler turned into a disbeliever in Christian doctrine as he was also very critical of sermons given by priests, but felt that the teachings of the church were of the utmost importance and valued by the "Aryans" that he felt a "supreme deity" chose the German people to rule the world. Himmler often embodied the very meaning of paradox. During this time Himmler became obsessed with the idea of becoming a soldier. He wrote that if Germany did not find itself at war soon, he would go to another country to seek battle.
In November of 1923 , Himmler took part in Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch under Ernst Röhm . In 1926 he met his wife in a hotel lobby while escaping a storm. Margarete Siegroth (née Boden) was blonde-haired and blue-eyed, seven years older than Himmler, divorced , and Protestant . She was physically the epitome of the Nordic ideal, though not exceptionally attractive. On July 3 , 1928 , the two were married and had their only child, daughter Gudrun, on August 8 , 1929 . Himmler adored his daughter, and called her Püppi (dolly). Margarete later adopted a son, in whom Himmler showed no interest. The marriage of Heinrich and Margarete was difficult, and they separated in 1940 without seeking a divorce. Heinrich was far too engulfed in militaristic ideology by this time to serve as a competent husband. Himmler started to become friendly with a staff secretary, Hedwig Potthast, who left her job in 1941 and became his mistress. He fathered two illegitimate children with her - a son, Helge ( 1942 ), and a daughter, Nanette Dorothea ( 1944 ).
[ edit ] Rise in the SS

[ edit ] Early SS (1927 ~ 1934)
Himmler joined the SS in 1925, and by 1927 had been appointed deputy reichsführer-SS , a role he began to take very seriously. He grew up a child rapist. He enjoyed raping poor German children. His Jewish slave Tituba said "I keep all of his money while he goes out and rapes the children. He and Hitler once met and had a rape party telling the little jews that if they let them have sex with them they wouldnt die and neither would their families. (They were the first to die) Upon the resignation of SS Commander Erhard Heiden , Himmler was appointed as the new Reichsführer-SS in January 1929. At the time when Himmler was appointed leader of the SS, it had only 280 members, and was considered a mere battalion of the much larger SA . Himmler himself was only considered to be an SA-Oberführer, but after 1929 he simply referred to himself as the "Reichsführer-SS".
By 1933, when the Nazi Party rose to power in Germany, Himmler's SS numbered 52,000 members, and the organization had developed strict membership requirements ensuring all members were of Adolf Hitler 's " Aryan Herrenvolk " ("Aryan master race"). Now a Gruppenführer in the SA, Himmler, along with his deputy Reinhard Heydrich , he next began a massive effort to separate the SS from SA control; he introduced black SS uniforms (designed by Hugo Boss ) to replace the SA brown shirts in the fall of 1933. Shortly thereafter, he was promoted to SS- Obergruppenführer und Reichsführer-SS and became an equal of the senior SA commanders, who by this time loathed the SS and the power it held.
Heinrich Himmler (left) together with, from left to right: Reinhard Heydrich , Karl Wolff and an unidentified assistant at the Obersalzberg , May 1939.
Himmler and another of Hitler's right-hand men, Hermann Göring , agreed that the SA and its leader Ernst Röhm were beginning to pose a real threat to the German Army and the Nazi leadership of Germany. Röhm had strong socialist views and believed that, although Hitler had successfully gained power in Germany, the "real" revolution had not yet begun, leaving some Nazi leaders believing Röhm was intent on using the SA to administer a coup .
With some persuasion from Himmler and Göring, Hitler began to feel threatened by this prospect and agreed that Röhm had to die. He delegated the task of Röhm's demise to Himmler and Göring who, along with Reinhard Heydrich , Kurt Daluege and Walter Schellenberg , ordered the execution of Röhm (carried out by Theodor Eicke ) and numerous other senior SA officials, as well as some of Hitler's personal enemies (like Gregor Strasser and Kurt von Schleicher ) on June 30 , 1934 , in what became known as "The Night of the Long Knives ". The next day, Himmler's title of Reichsführer-SS became a rank to which he was appointed, and the SS became an independent organization of the Nazi Party.
[ edit ] Consolidation of power
In 1936 Himmler gained further authority as all of Germany's uniformed law enforcement agencies were amalgamated into the new Ordnungspolizei , whose main office became a headquarters branch of the SS as Himmler was accorded the title Chief of the German Police. Himmler, however, was never able to gain operational control over the uniformed police. The actual powers granted to him with the appointment were those previously exercised in police matters by the ministry of the interior, and not even all of those. It was only in 1943, when Himmler was appointed Minister of the Interior, that the transfer of ministerial power was complete. Indeed, his full title was Reichsfuhrer SS and Chief of the German Police in the Ministry of the Interior (abbreviated as RFSSuCdDPidMI), which clearly indicates the limits of his brief, and though Himmler tended to omit the idMI in correspondence, his powers remained as they were. Germany's political police forces came under Himmler's authority in 1934, when he organised them into the Gestapo as well as Germany's entire concentration camps complex. Once war began, though, new internment camps not formally classified as concentration camps would be established, over which Himmler and the SS would not exercise control. In 1943, following the outbreak of popular word-of-mouth criticism of the regime as a result of the Stalingrad disaster, the party apparatus, professing disappointment with the Gestapo's performance in deterring such criticism, established the so-called Politische Staffeln as its own political policing organ, destroying the Gestapo's nominal monopoly in this field. With his 1936 appointment, Himmler also gained ministerial authority over Germany's non-political detective forces, known as Kripo , which he attempted to combine with the Gestapo into the Sicherheitspolizei , placed under the command of Reinhard Heydrich , and thus gain operational control over Germany's entire detective force. But the merger remained a dead letter within the Reich , with Kripo remaining firmly under the control of the civilian administration and later the party apparatus as the latter annexed the civilian administration. However, in occupied territories not incorporated into the Reich proper it mostly proved effective. Following the outbreak of World War II , Himmler formed the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (Reich Security Main Office) wherein Gestapo, Kripo and the SD became departments. Attempts in 1940 to use the new RSHA structure to gain control over Kripo by giving RSHA regional officers command authority over Kripo offices in their jurisdictions were rebuffed. The SS was also developing its military branch, known as the SS-Verfügungstruppe , which would later become known as the Waffen-SS .
[ edit ] Himmler's war on the Jews
SS Chief Heinrich Himmler (front right, facing prisoner) on a personal visit to the Dachau Concentration Camp in 1936.
After the Night of the Long Knives, the SS- Totenkopfverbände was given the task of organizing and administering Germany's regime of concentration camps and, after 1941, the extermination camps in occupied Poland . The SS, through its intelligence arm, the Sicherheitsdienst (SD), was charged with finding Jews , Gypsies , shamans , homosexuals , communists and those persons of any other cultural, racial , political or religious affiliation deemed by the Nazis to be either Untermenschen (sub-human) or in opposition to the regime, and placing them in concentration camps. Himmler opened the first of these camps near Dachau (see picture) on 22 March 1933 . He became one of the main architects of the Holocaust , using elements of mysticism and a fanatical belief in the racist Nazi ideology to justify the mass murder and genocide of millions of victims.
[ edit ] Posen speech
On 4 October 1943 , Himmler referred explicitly to the extermination of the Jewish people during a secret SS meeting in the city of Posen . The following are excerpts from a transcription of an audio recording that exists of the speech:
I also want to mention a very difficult subject before you here, completely openly.
It should be discussed amongst us, and yet, nevertheless, we will never speak about it in public....
I am talking about the "Jewish evacuation": the extermination of the Jewish people.
It is one of those things that is easily said. "The Jewish people is being exterminated", every Party
member will tell you, 'perfectly clear, it's part of our plans, we're eliminating the Jews, exterminating
them, ha!, a small matter.… woah woah please please, stop the language!
[ edit ] The Second World War
Nazi Governor of Poland Hans Frank (right) hosts SS head Heinrich Himmler during a visit to Kraków .
Before the invasion of Russia in 1941, Himmler began preparing his SS for a war of extermination against the forces of " Judeo-Bolshevism ". Himmler, always glad to make parallels between Nazi Germany and the Middle Ages , compared the invasion to the Crusades . He collected volunteers from all over Europe, including Danes , Norwegians , Swedes , Dutch , Belgians , French , Spaniards , and, after the invasion, Ukrainians , Latvians , Lithuanians , and Estonians , attracting the non-Germanic volunteers by declaring a pan-European crusade to defend the traditional values of Old Europe from the "Godless Bolshevik Hordes". In truth the "volunteers" from the occupied Soviet territories were mostly collaborator policemen pressed en-masse into the Waffen SS once their territories of origin were overrun by the Red Army . As long as they were employed against Soviet troops, they performed fanatically, expecting no mercy if captured. When employed against the Western Allies, they tended to eagerly surrender. Waffen SS recruitment in Western and Nordic Europe was abysmally unsuccessful.
In 1942, Reinhard Heydrich , Himmler's right hand man, was killed in Prague after an attack by Czech special forces. Himmler immediately carried out a reprisal, killing the entire male population in the village of Lidice where the soldiers had escaped.
In 1943, Himmler was appointed German Interior Minister . This was very much a Pyrrhic victory . Himmler sought to use his new office to reverse the party apparatus' annexation of the civil service, and in the process fulfill his long cherished dream of gaining real power over the non-Gestapo police. This hopeless aspiration was easily frustrated by Martin Bormann , Hitler's secretary and party chancellor. It also incurred some displeasure from Hitler himself, whose long-standing disdain for the traditional Civil Service was one of the foundations of Nazi administrative thinking. Himmler made things much worse still when following his appointment as head of the Ersatzheer (Replacement Army) (see below) he tried to use his authority in both military and police matters by "bestowing" automatic SS membership on all policemen and then "transferring" them to the Waffen SS. With Himmler about to hang himself Bormann could not give him the rope fast enough, initially acquiesing in the lunacy, until furious protests broke out, then destroying the scheme with a vengeance leaving Himmler much discredited, and his and the SS' relations with the police badly compromised.
The involvement in the July 20, 1944, plot against Hitler of leaders of the Abwehr (German military intelligence), including its head, Admiral Wilhelm Canaris , prompted Hitler to disband the Abwehr and make the SD the sole intelligence service of the Third Reich . This increased Himmler's already considerable personal power. It also soon emerged that General Friedrich Fromm , Commander-in-Chief of the Replacement Army was implicated in the conspiracy. Fromm's removal, coupled with Hitler's great suspicion of the army led the way to Himmler's appointment as Fromm's successor, a position he predictibly abused to enormously expand the Waffen SS even further to the detriment of the rapidly deteriorating Wehrmacht .
Unfortunately for Himmler, the investigation soon revealed the involvement of many SS Officers in the conspiracy, including some senior ones, which played into the hands of Bormann's power struggle against the SS, as very few party cadre officers were implicated.
In late 1944, Himmler became Commander-in-Chief of army group Upper Rhine , which was fighting the oncoming United States 7th Army and French 1st Army in the Alsace region on the west bank of the Rhine. Himmler held this post until early 1945 when, after the Wehrmacht's failure to halt the Red Army 's Vistula-Oder offensive , Hitler placed Himmler in command of the newly formed Army Group Vistula . As Himmler had no practical military experience as a field commander, this choice proved catastrophic and he was quickly relieved of his field commands, to be replaced by General Gotthard Heinrici .
As the war was drawing to a German defeat, Himmler was considered by many to be a candidate to succeed Hitler as the Führer of Germany. However, it became known after the war that Hitler never really considered Himmler as a successor, even before his betrayal, believing that the authority that was his as head of the SS had caused him to be so hated that he would be rejected by the Party.
[ edit ] Peace negotiations, capture, and death
Heinrich Himmler in 1945.
In the winter of 1944-45, Himmler's Waffen-SS numbered 910,000 members, with the Allgemeine-SS (at least on paper) hosting a membership of nearly two million. However, by the spring of 1945 Himmler had lost faith in German victory, probably partially due to his discussions with his masseur Felix Kersten and Walter Schellenberg 2 . He came to the realization that if the Nazi regime was to have any chance of survival, it would need to seek peace with Britain and the United States. Toward this end, he contacted Count Folke Bernadotte of Sweden at Lübeck , near the Danish border, and began negotiations to surrender in the West. Himmler hoped the British and Americans would fight their Soviet allies with the remains of the Wehrmacht. When Hitler discovered this, Himmler was declared a traitor and stripped of all his titles and ranks the day before Hitler committed suicide . At the time of Himmler's denunciation, he held the positions of Reich Leader-SS, Chief of the German Police, Reich Commissioner of German Nationhood, Reich Minister of the Interior, Supreme Commander of the Volkssturm , and Supreme Commander of the Home Army.
Unfortunately for Himmler, his negotiations with Count Bernadotte failed. Since he could not return to Berlin , he joined Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz , who by then was commanding all German forces in the West, in nearby Plön . Somehow, Hitler's orders concerning him never reached Dönitz. After Hitler's death, Himmler joined the short-lived Flensburg Government headed by Dönitz but was dismissed on 6 May 1945 by its leader in a move Dönitz hoped would gain him favour with the Allies.
Himmler next turned to the Americans as a defector , contacting the headquarters of General Dwight Eisenhower and proclaiming he would surrender all of Germany to the Allies if he was spared from prosecution as a Nazi leader. In an example of Himmler's mental state at this point, he sent a personal application to Eisenhower stating he wished to apply for the position of "Minister of Police" in the post-war government of Germany. He also reportedly mused on how to handle his first meeting with the SHAEF commander and whether to give the Nazi salute or shake hands with him. Eisenhower refused to have anything to do with Himmler, who was subsequently declared a major war criminal .
The dead self-poisoned Himmler after capture by Allied troops, 1945.
Unwanted by his former colleagues and hunted by the Allies, Himmler wandered for several days around Flensburg near the Danish border, capital of the Dönitz government. Attempting to evade arrest , he disguised himself as a sergeant-major of the Secret Military Police, using the name Heinrich Hitzinger, shaving his moustache and donning an eye patch over his left eye [6] , in the hope that he could return to Bavaria. He had equipped himself with a full set of false documents, but someone whose papers were wholly in order was so unusual that it aroused the suspicions of a British Army unit in Bremen , Germany. Himmler was arrested on May 22, and in captivity, was soon recognized. Himmler was scheduled to stand trial with other German leaders as a major war criminal at Nuremberg , but committed suicide in Lüneburg by swallowing a potassium cyanide capsule before interrogation could begin. His last words were "Ich bin Heinrich Himmler!" ("I am Heinrich Himmler!"). Shortly afterwards, Himmler's body was secretly buried in an unmarked grave on the Lüneburg Heath . The precise location of Himmler's grave remains unknown.
[ edit ] Conspiracy theories
There would be later claims that the man who committed suicide in Lüneburg was not Himmler but a double . Statements allegedly attributed to ODESSA were said to have asserted that Himmler escaped to the tiny and rustic farming village of Strones in the Waldviertel, a hilly forested area in the northwest part of Lower Austria just north of Vienna , the birthplace of Alois Hitler , where he was running a reborn SS in exile .[ citation needed ]
A recently-published book by American author, Joseph Bellinger, Himmler's Death, offers another " conspiracy theory " alternative to Himmler's death, stating that Heinrich Himmler was assassinated by his British interrogators in May 1945 along with other high-ranking officers of the SS and Werewolf Resistance Organization . Bellinger's book was first published in Germany by Arndt Verlag, Kiel . A similar book, Himmler's Secret War, by Martin Allen makes similar claims: it is, however, based on forged documents smuggled into the (British) National Archives . [7] David Irving also claimed Himmler was beaten and killed by the British interrogators. He also claimed his nose was broken by the beating.
Most historians discount these claims.[ citation needed ]
[ edit ] Historical views
Historians are divided on the psychology, motives and influences that drove Himmler. Some see him as a willing dupe of Hitler, fully under his influence and seeing himself essentially as a tool, carrying Hitler's views to their logical conclusion, in some cases (such as in the views propounded by David Irving ) possibly without Hitler's direct orders or agreement. A key issue in understanding Himmler is to what extent he was a primary instigator and developer of anti-Semitism and racial murder in Nazi Germany in his own right, and not totally within Hitler's control, or was simply the executor of Hitler's direct orders. A related issue is the extent to which anti-semitism and racism were primary motives for him, over and above self-aggrandisement, accumulation of power and influence.
Himmler to some extent answered this himself saying if Hitler were to tell him to shoot his mother, he would do it and 'be proud of the Führer's confidence'. It was this unconditional loyalty that was the driving force behind Himmler's unlikely career. Most commentators agree that commitment to Hitler's murderous racism made Himmler the mastermind of ethnic cleansing and the Holocaust.
According to the Jewish Virtual Library , Himmler's decisive innovation was to transform the race question from "a negative concept based on matter-of-course anti-Semitism" into "an organizational task for building up the SS ... It was Himmler's master stroke that he succeeded in indoctrinating the SS with an apocalyptic "idealism" beyond all guilt and responsibility, which rationalized mass murder as a form of martyrdom and harshness towards oneself." 1
The famous wartime cartoonist Victor Weisz saw Himmler as a terrible octopus, wielding oppressed nations in each of his 8 arms. 2 .
Wolfgang Sauer, historian at Berkeley felt that "although he was pedantic, dogmatic, and dull, Himmler emerged under Hitler as second in actual power. His strength lay in a combination of unusual shrewdness, burning ambition, and servile loyalty to Hitler." 3 .
In an extract in the Norman Brook War Cabinet Diaries 4 , Winston Churchill took a view towards Himmler widely shared during the war, advocating his assassination. According to Brook, responding to a suggestion that the Nazi leaders be executed, "this prompted Churchill to ask if they should negotiate with Himmler 'and bump him off later', once peace terms had been agreed. The suggestion to cut a deal for a German surrender with Himmler and then assassinate him with support from the Home Office. 'Quite entitled to do so,' the minutes record it (eg, Churchill) as commenting." 5
A main focus of recent work on Himmler has been the extent to which he competed for, and craved, Hitler's attention and respect, along with other Nazi leaders. The events of the last days of the war, when he abandoned Hitler and began separate negotiations with the Allies, are obviously significant in this respect.
Himmler appears to have had a completely distorted view of how he was perceived by the Allies; he intended to meet with US and British leaders and have discussions "as gentlemen". He tried to buy off their vengeance by last-minute reprieves for Jews and important prisoners. According to British soldiers who arrested Himmler, he was genuinely shocked when treated as a prisoner.
[ edit ] In fiction
In Douglas Niles 's and Michael Dobson 's alternative history novel Fox on the Rhine ( ISBN 0-8125-7466-4 ), in which Hitler is killed in the attempted Bomb Plot of 20 July, 1944 , Himmler assumes command of the Third Reich by a series of assassinations of the conspirators planning to form a new government and, most prominently, of Hermann Göring , who was appointed the official new Führer. Thus, Himmler, as the highest-ranking official remaining, takes up the position as leader of Nazi Germany, which enables him to execute "Operation Carousel" — a new offensive against the Allies. Himmler also features in Fox At The Front ( ISBN 0-641-67696-4 ), the sequel to Fox On The Rhine.
Himmler is played by Donald Pleasance in the movie The Eagle Has Landed , which is based on a novel by Jack Higgins ( ISBN 0-425-17718-1 ). He is also featured in several other Jack Higgins novels, including The Eagle Has Flown, the sequel to The Eagle Has Landed.
He also appears in Return to Castle Wolfenstein as an SS chief overseeing the resurrection of Heinrich I and the occult during Operation Resurrection. He and his team were successful in the ordeal, but Heinrich I and his dark knights were quickly defeated by Agent Blazkowicz. He watched in horror that "This American, he has ruined everything" before he was told that he needed to go back to Berlin to report to Hitler.
In the Colonization alternative history/sci-fi novel series by Harry Turtledove , Himmler is the Führer of the Greater German Reich in the 1960's , following the death of Hitler in the 1950's of a seemingly natural heart attack. Himmler dies of a stroke while working at his desk in 1965. He was succeeded shortly thereafter by Ernst Kaltenbrunner , who proceeded to adopt Himmler's plan of invading Race-occupied Poland, with catastrophic consequences.
In Turtledove's stand-alone novel, In the Presence of Mine Enemies , in which Germany won World War II and which is set in 2010, Himmler had succeeded Hitler as Führer at an unspecified date, and remained so until his death in 1985--though some say he died in 1983 and the Reich was secretly ruled by a junta until a successor could be agreed upon.

The archbishop of Canterbury is to take in Syrian refugees at his official London residence, saying “Jesus was a refugee”.
Justin Welby is to house “a family or two” in a four-bedroom cottage in the grounds of Lambeth Palace on the south bank of the Thames, a spokeswoman confirmed on Sunday.
His gesture follows a similar move by the Catholic church. Pope Francis said two refugee families would move into Vatican housing , but Lambeth Palace said it was something the archbishop has been considering for a while.
A spokeswoman said the cottage in the palace grounds was currently being redecorated and could provide room for a “family or two”. She said: “As a Christian who leads the Church of England it is something he feels absolutely passionate about.
“As the archbishop has said, Jesus was a refugee, and there are refugees here who are desperate for sanctuary from war-torn places and the archbishop is completely torn about their situation and wants to make a difference.”
The rent for the refugees would be paid for by charitable funds under the archbishop’s personal control, she said.
Britain’s response to the refugee crisis facing Europe is to take 20,000 refugees from camps on the borders of Syria over the next five years.
Welby has been critical of the government’s response , saying it is very slim in the context of figures given by the UN high commissioner for refugees and the European commission.
He is also reported to have met the prime minister earlier this month amid growing concerns that Christians in Syria will be largely excluded from the refugees due to come to the UK.
Addressing the House of Lords, he said that “within the camps there is significant intimidation and radicalisation, and many particularly of the Christian population who have been forced to flee are unable to be in the camps”.
A Vatican parish has already taken in a Christian family of four refugees from Syria following the pope’s pledge earlier this month. The St Anna parish – Sant’Anna dei Palafrenieri in Italian – accepted one of two families it promised to take in: a father, mother and two children who fled their home in Damascus. They are said to be Christian of the Catholic Greek Melkite rite.
The Vatican said the family would be staying at an apartment near St Peter’s in the Vatican and that they had immediately followed procedures to apply for asylum in Italy.
The continent’s biggest migratory flow since 1945 has opened a deep rift between western and eastern members of the EU over how to distribute the refugees fairly, and raised questions over the fate of the Schengen agreement allowing borderless travel within the 28-nation bloc.
Several countries have imposed border controls, as recent figures have shown nearly half a million people have braved perilous trips across the Mediterranean to reach Europe so far this year, while the EU has received almost a quarter of a million asylum requests in the three months to June.

Which is the fastest rotating planet in our solar system? | Which planet spins the fastest? | Cool Cosmos
Which planet spins the fastest?
Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our Solar System rotating on average once in just under 10 hours. That is very fast especially considering how large Jupiter is. This means that Jupiter has the shortest days of all the planets in the Solar System. Since Jupiter is a gas planet, it does not rotate as a solid sphere. Jupiter's equator rotates a bit faster than its polar regions at a speed of 28,273 miles/hour (about 43,000 kilometers/hour). Jupiter's day varies from 9 hours and 56 minutes around the poles to 9 hours and 50 minutes close to the equator.

Mr Kitty is the pet cat of which character in the US animated tv series ‘South Park’? | South Park Other Recurring Characters / Characters - TV Tropes
Supporting Leader : During the "Imaginationland" trilogy.
Took a Level in Badass : He was originally quite meek. Then, starting in "Red Sleigh Down", Jesus kicks all sorts of ass.
Mayor MacDaniels
"My geologist? Now? Tell him the infection is fine and I don't need another check-up."
Voiced by: Mary Kay Bergman (1997-1999), Eliza Schneider (1999-2003), April Stewart (2004-present)
Debut: "Weight Gain 4000"
Corrupt and idiotic mayor of South Park.
Bi the Way : She's implied to be in a relationship with Officer Barbrady and slept with Chef, but she's also slept with Mrs. Cartman and was shown looking at a porn magazine of busty women in one episode.
Characterization Marches On : Originally she was a lot stupider than most of the other South Park adults, but as they got dumber she's generally become smarter; modern episodes tend to vary on whether she's just as dumb as them or the Only Sane Adult in town.
Jerkass : She considers everyone in town a bunch of hillbillies and isn't above trying to convince Barbrady to shoot kids.
Took a Level in Kindness : From "Red Hot Catholic Love" and on, he's a Good Shepherd instead of a Fundamentalist .
Officer Barbrady
"Okay, people, move along. Nothing to see here."
Voiced by: Trey Parker
Debut: "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe"
The town cop. Incredibly stupid and unhelpful, at least in the earlier seasons. His squad car says "To Patronise And Annoy". Coinciding with decreased prominence, it seems that he has gotten more competent over the years.
A Day in the Limelight : "Naughty Ninjas" gave him more focus and development than he'd received in years.
Anti-Hero : However his heart is in the right place.
Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop : Incompetent; the mayor can make him believe the people he left to die in jail never came despite the bodies being in front of him. He apparently killed the chicken lover just to show Cartman how you hit someone with a nightstick.
Man Child : When he returns to class so he can learn to read he reverts quickly to a child.
The Only Believer : The only member of the South Park Police Department who actually cares about justice.
Out of Focus : In later seasons when South Park gets an actual police force.
Police Are Useless : Sometimes is unable to deal with the problems in the town.
Token Good Teammate : He might be an incompetent moron, but Barbrady is often portrayed as the only member of South Park's police force who is neither corrupt nor racist. "Naughty Ninjas" seems to imply he's the only member of the force who joined to protect the town rather than to beat up minorities.
Took a Level in Badass : Grew more competent in later seasons, helping to arrest a pharmacist for selling cough syrup to minors in "Quest for Ratings", warned people about the giant hamsters attacking in "Pandemic", attempted to stop the drunken party in "About Last Night" (here he fails because the partiers tip his car over), and in "Medicinal Fried Chicken", helps to take down the illegal KFC cartel, surviving the shootout between the cops and Colonel Sanders' enforcers. He also saves Jimmy's life from a psychotic GEICO representative in "Sponsored Content".
Trauma Conga Line : The entirety of "Naughty Ninjas", with him losing his job, being unable to provide for his sick and elderly dog, and ending up on the street and homeless.
Vetinari Job Security : He had this in the first few seasons, when he was the only police officer in South Park.

Voiced by: Trey Parker
Debut: "Christian Rock Hard"
An incompetent and corrupt police officer who hates rich black people. Works under the Park County Police Department.
Anti-Hero : Beating minorities is part of the policework and why the whole precinct save Barbrady joined in. But he tries getting the police job done.
Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop : Abuses minorities, arrests someone for calling for a different type of cock magic and takes hours to figure out an obvious clue of who a serial killer is.
Becoming the Mask : Subverted during his tie as a hooker. At the end it looks like he married his pimp, but after post-marital sex he ends up arresting him. Yates plays the long con.
By-the-Book Cop : When it comes to rich black men. Otherwise, he is pretty much a Cowboy Cop .
"We've got another rich black guy. I want him humiliated and dragged through the dirt, and I want it done by the books!"
Clueless Detective : Partially subverted; he does figure out the culprit behind the left-hand murders using his own police work, but it was unnecessary police work because the evidence was screaming right in his face. He also would have never seen said evidence had it not been for Kyle.
The Commissioner Gordon : In "The Coon", he is this to Mysterion and the Coon wants him to be it for him.
Custom Uniform : He and his partner Mitch Murphy are plainclothes detectives.
Dirty Cop : Tends to be very abusive towards minorities. Although in South Park it's actually part of being a police officer.
Jerkass : He snubs Kyle more than anyone else.
Regarding Stan:
Dammit Marsh, why couldn't you have just kept your stupid ugly kid in line?!
Lawful Stupid : He isn't as stupid as Barbrady, but the way the laws work in South Park is incredibly stupid and he takes entrapment to a whole new degree.
What happened to Fort Collins will not come to pass in our town, as long as we believe in the rationality and the basic decency of the American people.
*Everybody panics*
Satellite Character : Detective Mitch.
Villain Protagonist : In "The Jeffersons" and arguably "Butters' Bottom Bitch", seeing as how the first 2 men he arrested were portrayed sympathetically.
Terrance and Phillip
Phillip: "Terrance, I-"

Phillip: "That's what I was gonna say: You were an asshole, and this is mostly your fault."
Voiced by: Matt Stone (Terrance) and Trey Parker (Phillip)
Debut: "Death"
A comedy duo from Canada who host a show that seems to consist entirely of fart jokes, and is a favorite of the four main boys.
Author Avatar : For Trey Parker and Matt Stone, most prominently in "Canada on Strike" and The Movie .
What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids? : Zig-zagged in-universe. Sometimes Terrance & Phillip is referred to as a children's show, sometimes it's for adults. Either way, kids love it.
Towelie
"Don't forget to bring a towel."
Voiced by: Vernon Chatman
Debut: "Towelie"
A talking, drug-addicted towel made in a lab. Intentionally a flat "ancillary character with a few amusing catchphrases."
Animate Inanimate Object : He's a towel come to life through a government project to create the perfect towel.
Breather Episode : "A Million Little Fibers" and "Crippled Summer", two Towelie-centric episodes, aired immediately after "Cartoon Wars" and "200/201", which were controversial even by South Park standards.
Catch Phrase : "Don't forget to bring a towel" and "You wanna get high?"
A Day in the Limelight : "A Million Little Fibers". (Although, in all fairness, the few times Towelie does appear he is usually the focus of the episode.)
Macho Camp
Only Sane Man : When you go beyond his self-admitted depravity, he is one of the few adults to give good advice and generally not be useless . He's also the only adult to realize that being a whore is a bad thing and shouldn't be something you want to be.
Orifice Invasion / Evacuation : He enjoys forcing small animals to crawl up his ass. Most of these animals die, but one gerbil named Lemmiwinks manages to traverse Mr. Slave's entire digestive system and crawl out his mouth. You read it: you can't un-read it.
Speech Impediment : Talks with a stereotypical gay lisp.
The Nicknamer : He often calls people "Sweetie".
Took a Level in Kindness : While always a Nice Guy he used to be more willing to go along Mr Garrison's amoral ideas, getting rid of Garrison seems to have left him a lot better off.
Unwitting Pawn : In "Not Funny". Under request from the people of South Park, he phones President Garrison and convinces him to bomb Denmark, thereby playing right into the Member Berries' nonexistent hands.
Big Gay Al
Only Sane Man : He seems exempt from the usual obliviousness and stupidity that seems to affect every South Park resident above the age of 12 .
Reasonable Authority Figure : Big Gay Al was once the scoutmaster for South Park: responsible, helpful, and happy to teach the boys about valuable wilderness skills. However, since he's really, really gay, he was kicked out - and replaced by a stern, authoritarian closet pedophile.
Skeeter
"Hey! We don't take kindly to your types in here."
Voiced by: Matt Stone
Debut: "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut"
A man who gets pissed off about a lot of things, often seen in the bar or passionately leading inane movements. Usually depicted as more of a redneck than the main fathers (who are just whatever the plot calls for), but still considered one of the Guys.
Too Dumb to Live
Dr. Alphonse Mephesto
"I've done it, Kevin. I've successfully spliced this chipmunk with a piece of provolone cheese. Do you know what this means, Kevin? No more will the world have to look in two different places for squirrels and provolone cheese."
Voiced by: Trey Parker
Debut: "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig"
The proprietor of the South Park Genetic Engineering Ranch. In addition to traditional Mix-and-Match Critters , he likes to create multi-assed creatures.
Aesop Amnesia : In his first appearance, he learns that it's best to "just leave nature alone, to its simple one assed schematics." In his second appearance, he genetically engineered ill-tempered turkeys for Thanksgiving. At the end of the episode, he even starts saying the exact same aesop he learned in his first appearance until Chef interrupts him with a "yeah, yeah, yeah."
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome : He hasn't been seen much for a while.
Internal Retcon : He falsely revealed Cartman's father to be his mother for the sake of the Denver Broncos, who were among the people suspected to have fathered Cartman at the time.
Mad Scientist
Satellite Character : Kevin, a midget who follows Mephesto almost wherever he goes. In Season 1's "Starvin' Marvin," Chef interrupts an important speech to ask Dr. Mephisto what the hell Kevin is supposed to be.
Shout-Out : To The Island of Doctor Moreau (the film version starring Marlon Brando ). Lampshaded in "Cartman Joins NAMBLA", where he has a completely different NAMBLA of his own — the North American Marlon Brando Look-Alikes (filled with men who look like Marlon Brando — most of which are Brando as Don Vito Corelone from The Godfather ).
What Happened to the Mouse? : Until Season 14, he hadn't been seen in ten years bar a few background cameos. Trey and Matt mentioned in the commentary for his Season 14 episode that they "stopped finding him funny" and wish they'd permanently taken him off the show in the NAMBLA episode.
Mr. Hankey
Flush him down, but he's never gone!
His smell and his spirit ling-er on!
Voiced by: Trey Parker
Debut: "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo"
Christmas-themed sapient poo. Based on a character made up by Trey Parker's father, who told him when he he was a kid that if he did not flush the toilet after going, Mr. Hankey would jump out and bite him.
Big Damn Heroes : He saves the boys from the boat trip in "I Should Have Never Gone Ziplining".
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway? : Sea-Man, naturally. Being a Captain Ersatz of the Superfriends version of Aquaman made this inevitable.
God
"You will hit puberty when the time is right. But you will never have a period, because you are a man � with titties. Thus spaketh the Lord. And now I return to heaven."
Voiced by: Trey Parker
Debut: "Are You There God? It's Me, Jesus"

That Makes Me Feel Angry : "I hate you more than ever, Terrance and Phillip! I absolutely abhor you both!"
Satellite Character : He pretty much exists to hate Terrance and Phillip. In later episodes, however, he has begun to antagonize the boys and even all of Canada, though he has an Enemy Mine moment to save the Princess of Canada. Basically, his entire character exists to be a dick.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis : Was this for Terrance and Philip in "Not Without My Anus", then became one for all of Canada whenever he appeared.

Too Clever by Half : In "Child Abduction is Not Funny", he keeps setting off Mongolian traps that only work because he expects them to be something else altogether.
Mr. Kitty
Debut: "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe"
Eric Cartman's pet cat.
The Chew Toy : In the first episode alone, she was caught on fire and implied to be used as a sex toy. Eugh.
Animal Gender-Bender : Was shown to be female in Cat Orgy, but was shown again as a functional male in Major Boobage.

Voiced by: Trey Parker

Catchphrase : "They took our jobs!", spoken increasingly incoherently the longer any conversation goes on. "THEY TOOK OUR JERBS!" "DEY TUK ERR JERBS!" "DURK ER DURR!"
There have been many variations on the phrase. For example, in the episode "W.T.F.", he says, "They broke his jaw!" at a match of the fictitious W.T.F.

[the team of World of Warcraft characters face off against the rogue griefer, who starts killing them off with his summoned scorpions]
Randy Marsh : [Valkorn the blond warrior, arriving] Hey, Stan, can I play with you guys?
[Stan's character turns around]
Randy Marsh : Yeah, I'm playing from the office.
Stan : [angry] Dad, get off our teamspeak line!
[Valkorn walks off, and the griefer kills Token the black rogue]
Token : [angry] That's it, I'm dead!
[the griefer kills Stan the warrior]
Stan : [throws off his headset] That's it, screw this game!
Cartman : [backing away] Now, leave me alone, don't do that...
[the griefer electrocutes Cartman the dwarf with his dagger through the mallet, killing him and skipping away]
Cartman : [furiously throws off his headset] God-fucking-dammit!
[meanwhile in the apartment, the griefer just keeps plugging along]
[the World of Warcraft characters are fighting the griefer without stop]
Cartman : [dwarf] Kyle! Fire spell!
Kyle : [female mage, about to cast a spell] Aaaa...
[starts generating the spell, but it abruptly goes out]
[she grabs her right wrist with her left hand]
Stan : [warrior, shocked] Kyle!
[back at Cartman's basement, Kyle leaves his desk and grabs his right hand, flexing his right wrist around; Stan leaves his desk and approaches]
Stan : Kyle! Dude, what's wrong?
Kyle : Carpal tunnel! Carpal tunnel! It's... uuugh!
[pain shoots through his wrist as he continues flexing it and stretching his fingers]
Stan : Oh, Jesus, he got it bad!
Cartman : [walks over] Wait, we need Ben-Gay.
[waddles over to Kenny's desk and pulls out a tube of the stuff, then walks back, squirts some of it onto Kyle's wrist, and rubs it in]
Cartman : I'm going as fast as I can!
Stan : Kyle, you have to keep playing.
Kyle : I can't. Just leave me behind.
Stan : We can't do this without you now! Come on!
[he and Cartman help Kyle back into his computer]
[the boys are still playing in Cartman's basement]
Stan : Dude, I'm almost dead.
Cartman : Kyle, cast Arcane Missle.
Kyle : I'm out of Mana, I told you.
[back at the game, Stan the warrior pulls further away from the battle with the griefer]
Stan : I've gotta heal.
Randy Marsh : [voice only] Stan!
[Stan the warrior looks around trying to determine where the voice is coming from, then turns around to see Randy's character Valkorn running toward him]
Stan : Dad? Not now!
Randy Marsh : [Valkorn the warrior] Stan! I've been sent here... to bring you this.
[he holds the Sword of a Thousand Truths aloft]
Randy Marsh : This sword can completely drain his Mana.
Stan : Dad, how did you get that?
Randy Marsh : No time! Just take it! Here!
[he finds that the sword stays fixed to his left hand]
Randy Marsh : ...How... how do you hand something from one player to another?
Stan : Bring up your inventory screen: Control-I...
Randy Marsh : Okay.
[Stan throws away his old sword to get the new one]
[back in battle, the griefer sees Stan the warrior about to get the Sword of a Thousand Truths from Valkorn]
Cartman : [the dwarf, alarmed and turning to Stan] Stan, what the hell are you doing?
[the griefer runs to Stan and Valkorn, about to strike them]
Stan : [clutching the new sword] I got it!
[the griefer stabs Valkorn, who screams in pain]
Randy Marsh : [Valkorn the warrior, moaning] Stan...
[he falls down face first]
[he turns around to face the griefer]
Stan : You killed my father!
[he walks up to the griefer and strikes him with one blow of the sword; the griefer's defenses start to crack]
Cartman : His shield and armor spells are down!
Kyle : [female mage] Attack!
[Kenny the hunter shoots an arrow into the griefer's chest; the griefer picks up Stan's old sword and Kyle fires an energy ball at the griefer, disabling him and having him fall to the ground on all fours]
Cartman : [approaching the griefer's character] Looks like you're about to get powned.
[he swings back and pulls the mallet forward]
Cartman : Heeyahh!
[the mallet smashes the head of the griefer's character into bits, while the griefer, in his apartment, is shocked that he is out of the game for good]
Eric Cartman : We've learned the the four of us can't fight him alone, but if we all log in together, we might have a chance.
Liane Cartman : And sometimes the man puts his hoo-hoo dilly in the woman's cha-cha.
[silence]
Eric Cartman : So WHO put his hoo-hoo dilly in your cha-cha?
Eric Cartman : [having a tea party with his toys] More tea, Rumpertumskin?
Eric Cartman : [as Rumpertumskin] Yes, please, Eric. You are tough and handsome.
Eric Cartman : Thank you, Rumpertumskin. And what do you think about me, Clyde Frog?
Eric Cartman : [as Clyde Frog] I think you're a big fat piece of crap.
[silence]
Eric Cartman : [gangsta] I was just hanging out in the SPC, kicking it with some homies on the West siide...
Kyle Broflovski : Cartman, you live on the EAST side!
Chef : [singing] When a man loves a woman, and a woman loves a man... well, actually, sometimes the man doesn't really LOVE the woman, but he acts like he does because he want to get a little action, heh-heh. The magic starts to happen, and the two take off their clothes / they caress and hug each other until the part of the man grows / They're rolling around and things are really starting to get hot! And the man says, 'I love you' and the woman says, "Hang on a minute, I gotta go to the bathroom." So you wait and you wait and you wait and you wait... and you wait and you wait and you wait. You wait and you're coolin' down and she's still goin' to the bathroom! Finally, she comes back and she says, 'Ooh, Baby, I'm gettin' hot!' And that's when you've got to jab her foot and pump up full of...
Eric Cartman : WAIT! So who the hell did THAT to my mother?
[Cartman goes over to Chef's house, thinking he is part black and acting like such]
Chef : Boy, what the fudge are you doing?
Eric Cartman : You know just layin' down some rhymes, with the G-folk, know what I'm sayin...
Chef : Get in here!
Principal Victoria : This is unbelievable.
Cartman : I know. It's like a hall pass doesn't even matter to her.
Principal Victoria : Miss Stevenson, I will need to inform the police.
Miss Stevenson: Oh god.
Cartman : You just dealt with the dawg bitch!
Cartman : [singing] There's fear and darkness all around you/The criminals are on the run/No use in not having your hall pass/I'll take you to the principal cause I'm the dawg! I am the dawg, the big bad dawg, the hallway monitor!
[laughs]
Car dealer guy: [knocks on window] Hey kid, get out of there.
Cartman : That's cool. I'm done making my video anyways.
[gets out]
Cartman : I don't believe it. She's using the Mel Gibson defense!
Miss Stevenson: I am a perfectly good person, but when I drink, the alcohol makes me say and do things I wouldn't normally do.
Police Sergeant: Well, that explains it.
Policeman #1: Do we still press charges?
Police Sergeant: Who are we gonna convict? Johnny Walker?
Eric Cartman : Hall pass! Show me your hall pass!
[shoves student against locker]
Eric Cartman : Do you know what this is? this is the mace that they use on bears, faggot!
Eric Cartman : [after seeing Ike and Miss Stevenson kissing] HALL INFRACTION!
Miss Stevenson : [nervously] Oh, we were just heading back in.
Eric Cartman : You got a hall pass, brah?
Miss Stevenson : I don't need a hall pass, I'm a teacher.
Eric Cartman : Yeah? Well, where's HIS hall pass?
Miss Stevenson : Look, just let us get back in.
Eric Cartman : Get down on the floor!
Eric Cartman : God damn it!
Record Dealer: Whoa! Calm down there!
Eric Cartman : Who cares? I can never win a bet because you stupid assholes don't give out platinum albums.
Record Dealer: But you spread the word of the lord. You brought faith in Jesus.
Eric Cartman : D'oh! Fuck Jesus!
Butters Stotch: Calm down, Eric. You're gonna hurt the band!
Token Williams : Yeah, we're losing our fans.
Eric Cartman : Who fucking cares, Token? I can never beat Kyle now. I'll say it again. Fuck Jesus!
Butters Stotch : [to an old lady buying their album] We're not really Christian. We're just pretending we are.
Cartman : [the old lady walks away] Butters, remind me later to cut your balls off.
Token : [to Cartman] Good job, dickhead! We lost the entire audience!
Cartman : Ah, fuck you Token, you black asshole!
[Token kicks the crap out of Cartman and leaves him coughing on all fours]
Stan : Hmm, guess he got what he deserved.
Butters : [Standing around Cartman, then after a while he farts on Cartman and gives him the finger] Fuck you, Eric.
Sanctified Band Member #1 : [a band walks by] Is this the way to the stage?
[about Osama bin Laden]
Eric Cartman : Ooh, tastes like chicken... the ass of a chicken.
Kyle Broflovski : [the boys are confronted by Afghan soldiers] Uh... greetings, from, Canada. Well, Boys, it's "aboot" time we get back to our "hoose" in Canada, isn't it?
Eric Cartman : Hey, what the hell are you talking about? I'm not a goddam Canadian and neither are you!
Stan Marsh : Cartman, you stupid asshole.
[first lines]
[the boys are standing at the bus stop, wearing gas masks]
Kyle Broflovski : Remember when life used to be simple and cool?
Eric Cartman : [after a pause] Not really.
Eric Cartman : [talking to Bin Laden] Aw, Dude, it's called deodorant, okay? It's not expensive.
Osama Bin Laden : [Talking on the phone after his base has been invaded by Americans] A flippity flappity floop! Jihad jihad!
Eric Cartman : [Imitating Bugs Bunny while chewing on a donut] Meh, What's up Bin Laden?
Osama Bin Laden : [In surprise] Arrrrrrrrrrrubadubaduba! Durka durka haq!
Eric Cartman : [Looks at his watch] Uh oh 5:30 time to pray!
[bowing on a rug]
[Bin Laden whistles then howls like a wolf]
Eric Cartman : [Bin Laden seemingly lunges for Cartman but grabs the camel instead whom he kisses repeatedly]
Osama Bin Laden : [Proposing to the camel] Oh bella, bella falafel
[Gives the camel some flowers]
Osama Bin Laden : Mi amore, fatwa, fatwa
[He then picks up the camel seats it at a table and serves it some wine]
Osama Bin Laden : Ahh, de vino! Mi fatwa! J'ai une fatwa!
[Cartman holds up signs of a screw and a baseball, a jack and a donkey, a pile of feces pointing at someone's head, a rooster and a lollipop, and Barbra Streisand]
Kyle Broflovski : [Cartman starts to follow Bin Laden] Cartman where are you going?
Eric Cartman : I'm gonna go take care of this prick!
"South Park: Die Hippie, Die (#9.2)" (2005)
Eric Cartman : [as he sees the attic hippies] See that. hippies. These are what we call the ,uh, giggling stoners. Pretty common form of hippies, usually found in attics.
Eric Cartman : [to the hippies he has locked up in his basement] Here, here's some joints and a guitar.
Eric Cartman : In my professional opinion, we're looking at a full-blown hippie jamfest the size of which we've never seen.
[repeated line]
Eric Cartman : Goddamn hippies!
Eric Cartman : Hello, ma'am. I'm working to clean up the neighborhood from parasites. Do you mind if I take a quick look around your house? I'm afraid you may have hippies.
Elderly Woman: Hippies?
Eric Cartman : Yeah, they've been poppin' up all over the neighborhood lately. Ms. Nelson next door had seven hippies in her basement; they usually live in colonies. Hm, I don't like the sound of that. Could I take a look in your attic?
[Eric Cartman is in jail]
Mr. Mackey : Uh, hi, Eric, how's it going?
Eric Cartman : [sarcastically] Great. I love crapping in a toilet with no rim on it.
Eric Cartman : I need a complete team to operate this vehicle. Along with me I'm gonna need a scientist, an engineer, and, of course, a black person who can sacrifice himself in case something goes wrong.
Cartman : OK, OK.
Kyle : I'm getting pretty sick of him calling my mom a...
Cartman : [singing] Well, Kyle's mom's a bitch, she's a big fat bitch, she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world, she's a stupid bitch if there ever was a bitch, she's a bitch to all the boys and girls!
Kyle : SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH, CARTMAN!
Cartman : [singing] On Monday she's a bitch, on Tuesday she's a bitch, on Wednesday to Saturday she's a bitch, then on Sunday just to be different she's a super king kamehameha biatch! Come on, you all know the words!
[all join in]
Cartman : Have you ever met my friend Kyle's mom, she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world, she's a mean, old bitch and she has stupid hair, she's a bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch! Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch, she's a stupid bitch! Kyle's mom's a bitch and she's just a dirty bitch!
[all]
Cartman : Bitch! Talked to kids around the world, it might go a little something like this...
[singing in Chinese]
Cartman : [singing in French]
[singing in Dutch]
Cartman : [singing in African] Have you ever met my friend Kyle's mom, she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world, she's a mean, old bitch and she has stupid hair, she's a bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch!
[all gasp]
Cartman : Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch, she's a stupid bitch! Kyle's mom's a bitch and she's just a dirty bitch! I really mean it, Kyle's mom... SHE'S A BIG, FAT FUCKING BITCH! A big, ol', fat, fuckin bitch right now! Yeah! Cha!
[everyone stares at Cartman]
Cartman : Oh, fuck.
Mayor McDaniels : Okay, just what the heck is going on here, people?
Citizen : Mayor, we are deeply offended by the nativity scene in front of the state office. Church and state are separate!
Crowd: Yeah!
Sheila Broflovski : That isn't all, Mayor. The school play is doing a nativity scene. It isn't being sensitive to the Jewish community.
Mr. Garrison : You ARE the Jewish community!
Cartman : Oh boy. Super bitch is at it again!
Kyle : Don't call my mom a bitch, Cartman!
Father Maxey : Mayor, the nativity is what Christmas is about. If you remove Christ, you must remove Santa and Frosty and all that garbage too!
Crowd: Hallelujah! Amen!
Tree Lover: And we must put a stop to the cutting down of Christmas trees!
Crowd: Yeah!
Jimbo Kern : And I am sick and tired of those little flaps on coffee lids. If you don't want to spill your coffee, then you shouldn't be driving with it!
[pause]
[Kyle tries to catch a snowflake on his tongue]
Cartman : Hey! What the hell are you doing? Jewish people can't eat Christmas snow.
Kyle : We can too!
Stan Marsh : [to Kenny] Kenny?
[Kenny shrugs]
Stan Marsh : No, explain it to us, Chef.
Chef : That-That's okey, eh b... look, all you need to know is, Miss Ellen is a lesbian, and that means she only likes other lesbians.
Chef : Now move along, children, you're holding up the line.
[they walk on]
Kyle Broflovski : Weak, dude! She only likes other lesbians?
Stan Marsh : Hey man, if she only likes other lesbians, then all we gotta do is become lesbians too!
Kyle Broflovski : Hey, yeah!
Cartman : You guys, you know what? My grandma was Dutch-Irish, and my grandpa was lesbian, that makes me quarter lesbian!
[the boys enter Cartman's house, and see him licking the carpet]
Stan Marsh : What the hell are you doing, Cartman?
Cartman : My Mom said if you want to become a lesbian, you have to lick carpet.
Stan Marsh : Well, I got a Indigo Girls CD, the guy at the record store said it was perfect
[puts the CD in the player]
Kyle Broflovski : I got these killer Birkenstocks.
[the boys all start licking the carpet while the Indigo Girls are playing]
Stan Marsh : This is a bunch a' crap! I've been licking this carpet for three hours and I still don't feel like a lesbian!
Stan Marsh : I can't wait for Miss Ellen to see what a raging lesbian I am!
Cartman : I'm a bigger lesbian than you!
Stan Marsh : No, you're a fatter lesbian than me!
Kyle Broflovski : Screw you, guys, I am King lesbian!
Cartman : [about Miss Ellen] She wasn't looking at you, buttlord, she was looking at me!
Kyle Broflovski : Well that goes without saying, fatass. How could she help but look at you?
Stan Marsh : You guys can stop fighting. It was *me* she was checking out.
Cartman : Until you puked on her.
Mr. Mackey : Mrs. Cartman, we have had it with your son's behaviour, m'kay? Little Billy Turner is now being treated at the hospital!
Liane Cartman : Eric, why would you do such a thing?
Eric Cartman : [insincere] I'm sorry I handcuffed Billy Turner's ankle to the school flagpole.
Mr. Mackey : You know that's not the point.
Eric Cartman : [rolls eyes] Okay, I'm sorry I handcuffed Billy Turner's ankle to a flagpole and then gave him a hacksaw. And then told him I had poisoned his lunch milk and that the only way he could get to the antidote in time would be to saw through his leg.
Liane Cartman : Eric, that was very naughty.
Eric Cartman : Well, he called me chubby!
Eric Cartman : Suck my asshole, taco bender!
[Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Butters are playing Monopoly at Stan's place when Cartman comes in]
Eric Cartman : [gloomy] Hey guys, I've got some pretty big news.
[sighs]
Eric Cartman : I ran away from home.
[the boys just keep on playing like nothing happened]
Eric Cartman : Yeah, my Mom just doesn't care for me anymore, so I moved out. She didn't even try to stop me. It's gonna be tough living on my own. But I'll get by, somehow.
Stan Marsh : [without looking up from the Monopoly board] You can't stay here.
Eric Cartman : [angrily] Maybe you didn't hear me! I ran away! I don't have anywhere to sleep, I'm out on the streets!
Kyle Broflovski : [also not looking up] You're not staying at my house either.
Eric Cartman : All right, that's fine! Butters, I'll crash with you.
Leopold 'Butters' Stotch : No, my parents won't let me bring homeless people home anymore.
Eric Cartman : [angrily] Well, what do you guys expect me to do? Stay at Kenny's house? His family is totally poor, I'm not staying with poor people!
[silence]
Eric Cartman : All right, I'll stay with Kenny, let's go, man.
Kenny McCormick : [muffled and not looking up either] Fuck you.
Eric Cartman : Ha! Well, I guess now we see just how supportive friends can be! When the chips are down, you won't even lend a hand! I'll just go sleep on the streets somewhere, in the cold, probably get mugged and gang-raped by some minorities! You guys will be sorry when I turn up dead!
[leaves]
Leopold 'Butters' Stotch : [moves his pawn] Whoopee! J & R Railroad!
[Nanny Stella puts Eric on a stool]
Nanny Stella: Whenever you are naughty, Eric, you're going to sit on this stool for five minutes.
Eric Cartman : [looks around] And what exactly keeps me on the stool?
Nanny Stella: It's the time-out stool, you can't get down until the time is up.
[pause, then Cartman jumps off the stool]
Eric Cartman : [sarcastic] Wow! How did I do that?
Eric Cartman : What the hell is this? Skinless chicken, boiled vegetables and salad? This is just like Auschwitz!
Eric Cartman : Could I... perhaps have... *two* megarangers?
Liane Cartman : Yes, darling, you can have whatever you want!
Barbra Streisand : Who is that?
Kyle Broflovski : Oh, just this really, really old lady who wishes she was still only forty-five.
[Boys laugh, Barbra Streisand grinds her teeth]
Stan Marsh : Yeah, and you should have seen her nose! It was big enough to land Stealth Bombers on!
[Boys laugh again, Barbra Streisand desperately tries to restrain herself]
Eric Cartman : Yeah! And talk about a bitch, I haven't seen...
Kyle Broflovski : Wait. Isn't there some rule about not getting into cars with strangers?
Eric Cartman : No, not when money's involved, stupid!
[Cartman is on an anthropological dig with the rest of the class]
Eric Cartman : [singing] Days never endin', massa got me workin', someday massa set me free!
Tom the News Reader : ...and finally tonight, a young boy from South Park, Colorado found something very interesting during a field trip today. Here with a special report is a quadraplegic Swiss man on a pony.
[cuts to Quadraplegic Swiss man]
Quadraplegic Swiss Man : Thanks, Tom, the little eight year old was very shocked indeed when he came across a very ancient triangular object.
Kyle Broflovski : Well, I was just digging around, and I was all like, 'dude, I found this triangle' and my friends were like, 'dude' and I was all like 'dude.'
Eric Cartman : ...and I told him. I said, 'Kyle, I will kick you in the nuts.' But he didn't give it back to me. So I kicked him squa' - in the nuts, and he cried - like Nancy Kerrigan!
Kyle Broflovski : You liar, Cartman!
Eric Cartman : [off-camera] Screw you, triangle thief!
Quadraplegic Swiss Man : And so, the little boy will take his discovery home and perhaps donate it to science... mwell a little later. Back to you, Dave.
Tom the News Reader : Thanks, Tom. Those are some cute, cute kids, except for that last one-he's a little tubby.
Eric Cartman : [popping up before the camera] Eeyy!
Eric Cartman : [after the boys are forced to endure Streisand's singing] Okay, okay! I'll tell where the triangle is. It's inside my shoe.
[Milo approaches and removes his right shoe]
Kyle Broflovski : Aagh! For Christ's sake, Cartman, when was the last time you changed your socks?
Eric Cartman : And I suppose *your* socks smell like the Botanical Gardens?
Kyle : Yeah?
Cartman : Okay, now keep with me here, it gets a little complicated. If you eat food and crap out your butt, then maybe if you stuck food up your butt, you would crap out your mouth.
[Long silence]
Kyle : Cartman, that's the dumbest thing you've ever said! This week.
[Cartman put food up his butt trying to make it come out his mouth]
Kyle : Come on, Cartman, hurry up. It's been 10 minutes.
Cartman : Jesus Christ, man. Give a guy some time to crap!
"South Park: Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls (#2.9)" (1998)
Cartman : I've learned something too: selling out is sweet because when you sell out, you get to make a lot of money, and when you have money, you don't have to hang out with a bunch of poor asses like you guys. Screw you guys, I'm going home.
Cartman : Screw you guys, I'm going home.
[everyone realizes there isn't enough room to move]
Mr. Garrison : Okay Kyle, why don't you take the prod.
[hands the prod to Kyle]
Mr. Garrison : Okay Eric, whenever you're ready
[starts playing a piano]
Eric Cartman : [singing] and, O holy night
[Kyle shocks him]
Eric Cartman : Ow! What was that for? I didn't screw up.
[Kyle laughs]
Mr. Garrison : No, Kyle, you can't shock him unless he forgets the words.
Kyle : Sorry, Mr. Garrison.
Children: [singing] Sometimes he's runny/Sometimes he's firm/Sometimes he's practically water.
Man : Sometimes he hangs off the end of your ass and won't fall into the toilet 'cause he's just clinging to your sphincter and he won't drop off and so you shake your ass around try to get it in the toilet and finally he does.
Eric Cartman : [singing] Mother tries to comfort me/She says, "Here son, have some eggnog"/But I fucking hate eggnog, seriously.
Eric Cartman : [singing] Here's a little dreidel, that's small and made of clay/But I'm not gonna play with it 'cause dreidel's fucking gay.

Cartman : Only three more hours, sea people.
Cartman : Only three more hours and you can take me away from this god forsaken planet full of hippys.
Cartman : I got ripped off.
Kyle : I told you Cartman.
Cartman : Oh, shut up. Kyle. Shut your god damn Jew mouth. You people are why there is war in the Middle East.
Cartman : And you Tweak. Why don't you button up your shirt for once. You're just as bad as Stan with his little girlfriend always wanting to spend time with him.
Cartman : Oh God, I hate you guys.
Kyle Broflovski : Face it, guys. We killed Miss Choksondik. We're all in this together.
[Tweak starts to whine in protest]
Kyle Broflovski : All right, maybe you weren't there, but you're our new friend and that makes you culp - uh, culpable.
Cartman : In fact it makes you the most responsible. Tweak, you might have to take the fall on this one.
Cartman : It's alright, Chef! We got our sea people out of the teacher's stomach.and we put them back in their aquarium!
Kyle : Wow, that's a lot of semen Cartman.
Eric Cartman : Yeah, I bought all that I could at this bank, and then I got the rest from this guy Ralph in an alley.
[the Cartman of the year 2006 is tossing and turning in bed, impatient for a Nintendo Wii, when the phone rings]
Past Cartman : [getting up to answer it] Hello?
[he gets static, until... ]
Cartman : [in a higher pitch] Hello?
[Past Cartman is surprised to hear his own voice on the other end]
Cartman : Are you there?
Past Cartman : Who is this?

Cartman : All right, all right, listen! Listen to me carefully! You need to be patient!
Past Cartman : [angry] What? Who the hell is this?

Past Cartman : Suck my balls!
Cartman : No, *you* suck my balls! Just listen to me for one minute!
Past Cartman : [pause] Okay, you have one minute.
Cartman : Right before you left for Butters' house, you drank a bunch of Ovaltine and put Clyde Frog so nothing would happen to him, right?
Past Cartman : [shocked] Are you spying on me?
Cartman : [shouts] No, I *am* you, you stupid asshole!

Cartman : Yes. Hello, Kyle. It's Eric. Uh, how's it going?
Kyle : [angry] What do you want?
Cartman : Kyle, you are the smartest guy I know, so I think maybe you're the only person who can understand this. You know how earlier today I asked you to help me freeze myself?
Kyle : I'm not gonna help you freeze yourself, Cartman! It's a stupid idea!
Cartman : No, see, I *know* it's a stupid idea. Because I actually did freeze myself and... you were right, Kyle. It backfired and I was frozen for 500 years, and now I'm calling you from the future.
Kyle : [with half-closed eyes] ... Uh huh.
Cartman : No, really, Kyle, I'm, I'm seriously. Here, talk to my robot dog.

K-10: Bark bark. Hello, Kyle. Bark bark.
Kyle : [pause] I'm hanging up now.
Cartman : [shouts] No, Kyle, listen! Please! I think right about now, I'm in my mom's freezer.
Kyle : Suck my balls, fatass!
Cartman : [pause] I will. I will suck your balls, Kyle. Just stop me from freezing myself, and I will get down on my knees, and I will suck your balls. I'll suck 'em dry, Kyle.

Richard Dawkins: [moans, continually having sex] I'm sorry, but Mr. Garrison has passed away. Mrs. Garrison is the only person here and she's rather tied up at the moment.
Cartman : [shouts] Look, asshole, this is a real emergency! Just pass the phone to whatever Garrison wants to call himself since the sex-change operation!
Richard Dawkins: [stops, shocked] Sex-change operation?
Ms. Garrison : [in a same shocking manner] Uh oh.
Richard Dawkins: [pulls out and protects his genitals, horrified] Uuuuugh! You're a man?
Ms. Garrison : Not anymore. I've been fixed.
[Mr. Dawkins runs for his clothes, using them to protect his genitals]
Ms. Garrison : Richard, hold on. I can explain.
Richard Dawkins: Explain? How can I be so stupid?
[he runs out of the house with his pants on, carrying the rest of his clothes]
Ms. Garrison : [chasing Mr. Dawkins with her robe on] Richard, come back, please!
[Dawkins does not return, and Ms. Garrison loses her faith in atheism in a flash]
Ms. Garrison : [shouts] Well, go ahead and leave, you atheist faggot! Have fun mocking God in hell! You queer!
[Cartman is returned to 2006, where he paces around the store again]
Cartman : [beamed into his body and checks again] I'm back. Wow! I'm back!
Liane Cartman : There you are, Eric.
Cartman : Mom! Mom, they did it!
Liane Cartman : Eric, you have to come home. You can't just wait here for that game to come out.
Cartman : [happy, for once] No, I know. You're right, Mom. I need to learn to be patient. I think I can wait three weeks for the Nintendo Wii to come out.
Liane Cartman : But, honey, it's only September.
[she points to the window]
Liane Cartman : That... Nintendo Wii doesn't come out for two months.
Cartman : [shocked] What? No!
[turns around and moves away from the storefront]
Cartman : [shouts to the sky] You sent me back too far! Hey! Do it over!
Liane Cartman : [puzzled] Who are you talking to, muffin?
Cartman : I can't wait two months!
[runs back to the doors]
Cartman : I can't! There has to be a way around this!
Clerk: [appears with the phone] Hey, kid, somebody's on the phone for ya.
Cartman : [goes in the store to answer it] Hello?
Future Cartman : [voice from a screwed up future] Hello? Hello? I know what you're thinking! Do not do it! You just need to be patient and wait the two months! Do you hear me?
Cartman : [angry] Oh, suck my balls, Kyle!
[he hangs up the phone and leaves the store]

[last lines]
Cartman : [sitting in a lawn chair in front of the Stotch's house, listening to Butters getting beaten by his parents] Oh, man, if I was older I would totally start jacking off right now.
Cartman : [pretending to be Butters on the phone] No, I'm not watching television, dad. I'm just lying around jackin' it. My hot spicy boner, of course.
Kyle Broflovski : [Butters is frightened and in pain as the boys crank out his body fat in a crude home liposuction] You've got to lose that weight, Butters! How else are we going to make that City Wok commercial?
Cartman : [Butters keeps whining] Shut up, Butters. God! Kenny would have taken it like a man.
Cartman : Oh, my God - you guys: I think I'm having a genius moment. Yes! Yes! It's coming to me now!
[rubbing his belly with both hands]
Stan Marsh : Break Kenny, break.
[Kenny turns car to dirt road]
Towelie : Maybe it was down that dirt road.
Stan Marsh : Dude, don't you remember where it is?
Towelie : I can't remember, it all looks the same. Hold on, let me get high. Then I'll remember where it is.
[Towelie smokes the pot and get really high]
Stan Marsh : Alright, so where is it?
Towelie : [Towelie talks slowly and is very sluggish] Where's what?
Kyle Broflovski : [the boys scream] The base where you're from and where our Okama Gamesphere is.
Stan Marsh : Alright, that does it. Break angrily Kenny.
[Kenny breaks the car fast]
Stan Marsh : Now listen Towelie, we've just about had it with you!
Towelie : Now come down.

Eric Cartman : Oh my God, it smells like ass out here.
Miss Stevens : All right, that does it. Eric Cartman, you respect other cultures this instant.
Eric Cartman : I wasn't saying anything about their culture, I was just saying their city smells like ass.
Miss Stevens : You may think that making fun of third-world countries is funny but let me...
Eric Cartman : I don't think it's funny. This place is overcrowded, smelly and poor. That's not funny, that sucks.
Eric Cartman : Bad, bad monkey!
[Smacks monkey on the head]
Miss Stevens : Eric! What the hell are you doing?
Eric Cartman : I'm asserting myself, its tough love. Just like my Mr. Kitty. When he's bad I say 'That's a bad Mr. Kitty, and I smack him on the head'.
Tour Guide: And here is a three-toed sloth.
Eric Cartman : It's bad, that's a bad three-toed sloth.
[Smacks sloth on the head]
Miss Stevens : Eric! For God's sake knock it off!
Eric Cartman : Respect my authoritah!
[Throws stick at the sloth]
Eric Cartman : Let me try. Let me try. We are from America. America. We are lost and very hungry. Necesito burritos!
Stan Marsh : I don't want a burrito. I want a taco. Supreme.
Mr. Mackey : What do you have to say for yourself?
[Craig is silent]
Mr. Mackey : Well, I'll tell you what, young man. You're gonna be held back a grade if you can't...
[Craig gives Mr. Mackey the finger]
Mr. Mackey : Did you just flip me off?
Craig : No.
Mr. Mackey : Yes, you did! You just flipped me the bird! This is exactly what I'm talking about! If you don't shape up, m'kay, and get your head straight-
[Craig does it again]
Mr. Mackey : There! You just flipped me off again!
Craig : No, I didn't.
Mr. Mackey : Yes, you did! And until you stop flipping people off, you can just go back to the waiting room, m'kay? Next!
[Craig hops off the chair as the door opens. The boys enter]
Mr. Mackey : Well, well, well, if it isn't Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Eric.
Kyle Broflovski : Hi, Craig.
Eric Cartman : Hey, don't flip me off, you son of a bitch!
Mr. Mackey : Sit down, boys. Now, let's see. What did Mr. Garrison send you in here for?
[Reading the letter]
Cartman : Casa Bonita is my favorite place in the whole world, I'll just die if you don't take me. Please.
Kyle : Sorry, my mind is made up.
Cartman : Well fuck you, Kyle! I don't wanna go to your faggy birthday party anyway! I'd rather hang out at home than have to be around you and your Jew mom for a day. Kiss my balls, asshole!
[Storms out the door; reenters a moment later]
Cartman : Dude, I totally didn't mean that, Kyle. I really want to go to Casa Bonita. I'm sorry we had that fight just now, you know, I mean I said some things, you said some things but, I think we've moved past it.
Kyle : I'm not inviting you to Casa Bonita.
Cartman : Well FUCK YOU, Kyle! I hope you die! I hope you fucking die!

Police Captain : Well kid, you made an entire town panic, you lost all your friends, and now you're going to Juvenile Hall for a week! Huh, was it worth it?
"South Park: Toilet Paper (#7.3)" (2003)
Cartman : Okay. Last night, all four of us were at the bowling alley until about 7:30, at which time we noticed Ally Sheedy, the Goth chick from the Breakfast Club, was bowling in the lane next to us, and we asked her for her autograph, but she didn't have a pen, so we followed her out to her car, but on the way we were accosted by five Scientologists who wanted to give us all personality tests, which were administered at the Scientology Center in Denver until 10:45, at which time we accidentally boarded the wrong bus home and ended up in Rancho de Fritas Rojos, south of Castle Rock, and finally got a ride home with a man who was missing his left index finger, named Gary Bushwell, arriving home at 11:46.
Cartman : So how are things, Kyle?
Kyle Broflovski : Terrible. Every time I close my eyes I see the house we TP'ed. I see the tears of our art teacher and hear the screams of her daughters.
Cartman : And you feel like you have to confess.
Kyle Broflovski : I don't know what to do. Part of me feels like I have to end it all now, tell people what happened.
[Cartman sneaks up behind Kyle with a bat]
Kyle Broflovski : You know, I never notice how beautiful this pond was before. So calm. You know the world can be like that, so calm on the outside, as if nothing bad ever happens.
[Cartman hits Kyle in the head with the bat]
Kyle Broflovski : Ow! What the hell are you doing Cartman?
Cartman : I'm killing you, but unfortunately I could only afford a Whiffle Bat so its going to take a while.
[Bonks Kyle on the head again]
Cartman : Don't fight it, Kyle, it will only take longer. Just slip into sweet unconciousness.
[bonks Kyle two more times]
Kyle Broflovski : You want to kill me, fine! I can't live like this anymore, go ahead! Do it!
Cartman : [bonks Kyle 9 times] It won't be long now, Kyle.
[continues to bonk Kyle on the head]
Grocery Store Employee : Hey boys. Okay, toilet paper, toilet paper, toilet paper, toilet paper, toilet paper. So what are you up to tonight?
Cartman : Oh, probably watch a movie, maybe play a couple of board games.
Grocery Store Employee : Nice night at home, huh? Toilet paper, toilet paper, toilet paper, toilet paper, chewing gum. Hey, you kids be careful with this chewing gum. Don't go sticking it under any tables.
Kyle Broflovski : You confessed?
[confused about Butters behind bars for what they did]
Butters Stotch : Yeah, uh huh; they said that I TP'ed the art teacher's house. I don't seem to remember it, but they're pretty sure it was me. I just can't get my behavior under control.
[grabbing at the bars and looking angry]
Officer Barbrady : His parents are on their way down now.
Butters Stotch : Yeah, and boy are they gonna let me have it. You just wait until my father gets here.
Kyle Broflovski : You guys, we can't let him do this.
[conferring away from Barbrady and Butters]
Cartman : What are you talking about? This is a gift from God! An early Easter present all wrapped up from Jesus Christ himself!
Butters Stotch : Well, I'm just a little asshole is what I am.
Cartman : Better.
Woman: [rrom the Make-A-Wish Foundation] So, Kenny, if you could have one wish, what would it be?
[silence]
Man : What's your wish, pal?
Kenny : [muffled] I guess the only thing I wish is not to die.
Woman: What did he say?
Kyle : He said his wish is not to die.
[long stretch of silence]
Woman: Okay, and what if you're gonna have two wishes? What would the second one be?
Man : [from the Make-A-Wish Foundation] I know! I'll bet you wanna meet Madonna, huh?
Kenny : [muffled] No. Fuckin' Madonna...
[his words trail off and are hard to understand]
Man : What was that?
Kyle : He said Madonna is an old anorexic whore who wore out her welcome years ago, and that now she suddenly speaks with a British accent and she thinks she can play guitar and she should go fuck herself.
[the Foundation reps are stunned]
Madonna: [appearing in the doorway] Should I come in now?
Man : Um, not quite yet.
Chef : What?
Kyle : We all have attention deficit disorder, so we all started taking Ritalin
Cartman : [talking like a stoner] It really takes the edge off man, you should try it
[takes a handful of pills]
Chef : So that's why all you children are acting so damned boring!
Kyle : That's correct Chef
Chef : Damnit, children, you don't need drugs to make you pay attention in school! In my day, if we didn't pay attention we got a belt to the bottom! Now they're tryin' to cure everything with drugs!
Mr. Garrison : Okay children let's settle down!
[all the children sit there quietly and attentively]
Mr. Garrison : Huh I mean it, I want it quiet!
[the children remain calm]
Mr. Garrison : My god Mr. Hat, these children are so boring on Ritalin. Huh, alright children, were going to learn about human reproduction, what do you think about that?
[the children don't respond]
Mr. Garrison : Vaginas and penises! Butt sex!
[no one says a word]
Mr. Garrison : Well damnit! Eric don't you have some smartass thing to say?
Cartman : [calmly and politely] What kind of smartass thing would I say Mr. Garrison?
Mr. Garrison : [grabs his head in anger] This is driving me crazy! I can't handle you little bastards being so mellow!
Kyle : Gee you seem a little stressed Mr. Garrison, why don't you try some Ritalin?
[hands a bottle to Mr. Garrison who grabs it and dumps the pills down his throat]

"South Park: Ginger Kids (#9.11)" (2005)
Eric Cartman : [leading the "gingers" while chanting] Red Power - Red Power - Red Power - Red Power - Better red than dead - Better red than dead - Better red than dead.
Eric Cartman : [to the assembled "gingers" as he plots to take over the world yet again] I will not live my life, as a goddam minority!
Ms. Garrison : Okay kids, looks like we only have time for one more speech today, so let's have, uh, Eric.
Cartman : Thank you, Ms. Garrison. My speech is entitled "Ginger Kids". Children with red hair, light skin, and freckles. We've all seen them. On the playground, at the store, walking on the streets. They creep us out, and make us sick to our stomachs. I'm talking, of course, about Ginger kids.
[slide projector clicks]
Cartman : Aw, sick! Gross! Ginger kids are born with a disease, which causes very light skin, red hair and freckles.
[projector clicks]
Kyle : Grrrrrrrr!
Cartman : In conclusion, I wil leave you with this. If you think that the ginger problem is not a serious one...
[click]
Cartman : think again!
Eric Cartman : [waking up and walking across the hallway to the bathroom just before he discovers he's a "ginger" Cartman]
[sings]
Eric Cartman : You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille...
Eric Cartman : [Cartman and friends are pretending to be Lord of the Rings characters; they walk by a group of kids playing in a yard] Yes, we shall slay the ringworm, for that is the way of the...
Town Kid: I shall put a magic spell on you!
Town Kid 2: I have blocked your spell wizard!
Kyle Broflovski : What are you guys doing?
Town Kid: We're playing Harry Potter!
Eric Cartman : Go ahead and play Harry Butthole Pussy Potter!
Kevin: Perhaps we could use the ring to strengthen our star cruisers!
[He is shown to be in a Stormtrooper costume]
Eric Cartman : [Slaps his head into his palm] Kevin, goddamn it.
Eric Cartman : And so the party journeyed onward: the great Wizard, the skillful Ranger, and the covetous Jew.
"South Park: The Jeffersons (#8.6)" (2004)
Sgt. Harrison Yates : Freeze, Jefferson, the gig is up. you are wanted for child molestation!
Cartman : No! I am sick and tired of people harrassing Mr. Jefferson. All I've been hearing since Mr. Jefferson moved here are sick lies: that he molests children, that he's a bad father, that he had plastic surgery.
Michael Jackson: That's ignorant.
[His chin falls off. He puts it back on]
Cartman : Sure, maybe Mr. Jefferson is a little different. But that's because he had to work all the time when he was young and missed out on his childhood. What's wrong with wanting to have the innocence and beauty of a child?
Kyle : All right, let's just say all the bad things said about Mr. Jefferson are lies. Let's just say the police do just go around spending their time framing people for crimes they didn't commit. Let's say it's all made up and Mr. Jefferson is just a nice guy who is trying to be a child because he never had a childhood. Well that's fine, except he has children now, and when people have children, they have to GROW UP!
Michael Jackson: You're right. I've been so obsessed with my childhood that I've forgotten about Blanket's. I thought having lot's of rides and toys was enough, but Blanket doesn't need a playmate. He needs a father and a normal life. Blanket, I wanna give away all my money. I wanna get a normal job and take a shot at raising you in a normal setting.
Sgt. Harrison Yates : Well, if you're gonna give away all your money, I guess we'll drop the charges. No point in putting another poor black man in jail.
Kyle : All right. Things just might work out.
Cartman : Kyle, if you mess this up, so help me God I will rip your balls of with my bare hands! WITH MY BARE HANDS, GODDAMN YOU!
Cartman : Excuse my French, Mrs Marsh but you can suck my fat hairy balls.
Eric Cartman : Okay, we'll try this again.

Eric Cartman : 'Hi everyone. I am a young boy looking for fun times with older male. I like to...

Eric Cartman : Oh, this one looks good. "HungDaddy".
[types back]
Eric Cartman : 'Hello, HungDaddy.'
[gets immediate response]
Eric Cartman : [reading the answer] "Hi. I'm eight and a half inches". Damn dude, this guy's tiny! He must be a dwarf.
[types back]
Eric Cartman : 'Sorry, I'm not interested in being friends with midgets. Midgets piss me off.' Frowny face.
Eric Cartman : Well, I guess nowadays, they allow any old schmuck into NAMBLA.
Cartman : [chatting with an older man] "I'm eight and a half inches." Whoa, this guy's tiny. He must be a dwarf.

Pip : Oh Eric, I didn't get an invitation.
Eric Cartman : Hmm, what could I have done with Pip's invitation? Pip's invitation... Pip's invitation... Oh, I remember. I shoved it up my ass. That's right. I wrote it up, put in an envelope, sealed it, and
[bloop]
Eric Cartman : shoved it right up my ass, forever ruining any chance of you coming to my birthday party. Sorry, Pip ol' chap.
Cartman : Wendy, you are to get me the Yellow Mega Man. Which was supposed to be a gift given by Kenny, but Kenny has been turned into a duckbill platypus.
Cartman : Oh and look what Kyle's got me, it's a red Megam... Ants in the Pants, Ants in the Pa... Ants in the Pants!
Kyle : It's a game dude, it's really fun.
Cartman : You son of a bitch. You were supposed to get me the red Megaman. Now I can't make Ultra Mega Megaman, you dirty cheap ass piece of crap.
Kyle : They were all out of them, dude.
Cartman : I hate you. I want you to die.
[repeated line]
Eric Cartman : I'm not just sure, I'm HIV positive.
Eric Cartman : Nobody likes Jimmy Buffett, except for frat boys and alcoholic chicks from the South!
Kyle Broflovski : Will you stop it with that? What part of this is funny to you?
Eric Cartman : Kyle, we need to try to find out...
Kyle Broflovski : What part of being infected with a deadly disease do you find funny?
Eric Cartman : I don't think it's funny, Kyle.
Kyle Broflovski : Then stop saying you're not just sure, you're HIV positive! This isn't funny, AIDS isn't funny, dying isn't funny, so shut the fuck up!
Eric Cartman : Well, excuse me, Kyle, for trying to keep some optimism, you know, you know, sometimes when things seem their darkest, you just need to try and stay... HIV positive, but if you want to be so HIV negative all the time...
Kyle Broflovski : KNOCK IT OFF, RIGHT NOW! THIS ISN'T FUNNY! AT ALL!
Kyle Broflovski : Yeah, we've got school
Al Gore : I can get you all excused from school.
[pause]
Eric Cartman : You... got that kind of power?
Eric Cartman : [to himself while the others are sleeping] All that treasure. It's all mine! So long as these greedy assholes don't find out about it. You would all just love to get your hands on my treasure wouldn't you? Even though I found it, you would love to think it's somehow yours too. God, I hate you guys.
[to Kyle]
Eric Cartman : Especially you, you money-grubbing snake in the grass.
[leans in so his face is about half an inch away from Kyle's]
Eric Cartman : Well I've got news for you Kyle. You're never going to get my treasure. I've got a little plan going: to get the treasure out of here without you ever knowing.
Kyle Broflovski : [wakes up] C-Cartman?
Eric Cartman : [pause] Oh, hey Kyle. How's it going?
Kyle Broflovski : Dude, what are you doing?
Eric Cartman : Not much. You know, just hanging out.
[pause]
Eric Cartman : How you been, man? Good?
Kyle Broflovski : Dude, get away from me!
Eric Cartman : Yeah, nice talking with you, Kyle. See you around.
[slowly withdraws]
[they've boarded Santa's spare sleigh]
Kyle : How do we start this thing?
Gnome : You just have to call out the reindeer's name.
Cartman : Oh yeah. On Dasher. On Prancer. On Comet...
Gnome : No, no, they're all dead. You have to call out the new ones. On Steven, on Fluffy, on Horace and Chantel, on Skippy, and Rainbow and Patches and Montel.
[Jesus leads the boys on the way to the exit with Santa Claus, then stops at the foot of the stairway and turns around]
Jesus : [shouts] Get up the stairs! The sleigh is on the roof!
[an Iraqi soldier comes down the stairs behind him]
Kyle : [shouts] Jesus, behind you!
[Jesus looks at the boys, and gets shot in the back]
Kyle , Stan , Cartman : [slow motion, in shock] Jesus!
[in slow motion, Jesus wobbles a bit and falls to the floor]
Santa Claus : [in slow motion shock] No!
[he shoots the soldier dead, then runs up to Jesus and holds him in his arms as the motion returns to normal]
[Jesus stammers a bit, but nothing comes out of his mouth]
Santa Claus : No... don't worry, Jesus, it's nothing. It's just a scratch.
Jesus : [groaning] You're a... bad liar.
[the boys are speechless]
Eric Cartman : Well, we're here now. That's all that matters.
[places a bowl of nuts on the table]
Eric Cartman : Care for some nuts? Oh, that's right. I guess you'll be chock full of nuts in just a few minutes.
Eric Cartman : By the way, I should tell you that I haven't had a chance to shower while making my way up here. My balls are
[pauses]
Eric Cartman : extra vinegary.
Eric Cartman : Now, Kyle, when you're sucking my balls, are you gonna think about how right I was about the leprechaun or
[pauses]
Eric Cartman : are you just gonna try and focus how rough and salty my balls feel in your mouth?
Kyle Broflovski : Let's just do it!
Eric Cartman : In time, Kyle. You certainly are eager for balls, aren't you? Are you ball famished? Ball starving? You see, Kyle, I wonder if at this moment, you're actually...
[klaxons blare]
Kyle Broflovski : What the hell are you doing, fatass?
Eric Cartman : Not much, just taking my *one million dollars* out of the bank.
[holds up a stack of banknotes]
Stan Marsh : [short silence] Oh, my God. Kenny *wasn't* lying!
Eric Cartman : Would you mind stepping aside, I got a purchase to make.
Stan Marsh : Dude, can you loan me twenty bucks for a new jacket?
Eric Cartman : Ha! If you need money you can get a job, Stan! No freeloaders are gonna take my hard-earned cash!
Kyle Broflovski : Your grandmother left it to you, you didn't *earn* it!
Eric Cartman : Didn't earn it? What about all the years I spent making grandma like me? All the wet, spit-filled kisses I put up with! The constant smell of aspirin and pee! Don't tell me I didn't earn it, you son of a bitch!
Eric Cartman : [In a TV commercial] Hey everybody, check out the all new Cartmanland! It's our gra-hand opening! Cartmanland has over a hundred fabulous rides, six rollercoasters, and tons of great surprises! And the best part is... *you* can't come! That's right, because at Cartmanland, only I, Eric Cartman, can get in. That means only I can ride the all new tornado twister, a rollercoaster that splashes in the water. Wow! It's the greatest amusement park in the Colorado area, and nobody can go! Especially Stan and Kyle! Hahaha! So come on down to Cartmanland now, but don't plan on getting past the parking lot, 'cause remember:
[singing]
Eric Cartman : So much to do at Cartmanland, but you can't come!... especially you Stan and Kyle.
Eric Cartman : Good riddance, you stupid park. You can all kiss my ass.
[Afterward, three men in suits approach Cartman]
Frank Garrett: Excuse me. Eric Cartman?
Frank Garrett: I'm Frank Garrett with the IRS. You haven't kept records of your income or payout and there is a $500,000 discrepancy. Seize the assets.
Eric Cartman : [as the other agents are confiscating his money] Hey! That's my money!
Frank Garrett: There's also the lawsuit for the little boy who died in your park. The family's entitled to the rest of this.
Eric Cartman : What? Kenny? But he dies all the time!
Frank Garrett: You still owe $13,000 more than this, Mr. Cartman. We'll be seeing you in court.
Eric Cartman : But you can't do that!
Frank Garrett: We know how well your park is doing. You'll make it bad in no time.
Eric Cartman : Mr. Foon! I changed my mind! I need the park to make my money back!
Mr. Poon: No-ho-ho-way, Jose!
Eric Cartman : But I'm getting sued and if I don't make my money back, I'll lose everything!
Mr. Poon: I don't care, said Pierre, I'm from France.
Eric Cartman : [angrily] Aye.
Optician: [laughs] Just joking, okay looks I'm lasering a little piggy today.
Eric Cartman : [Angrily] If you call me piggy one more time I will kick you in the n...
[Trails off due to being put on laughing gas]
Eric Cartman : [immediately after getting hideous glasses] Oh. Dude. Super. Weak. I am not wearing these. The guys would totally rip on me.
Stan : [sees Cartman has bandages on his eyes] Cartman, what the hell are you doing?
Eric Cartman : [annoyed] That asshole eye doctor screwed up my laser surgery. I have to wear these bandages for three days.
Stan : Damn, your eyes must really suck, Cartman.
Eric Cartman : [sarcastic] Oh, thanks for the newsflash, Tom Brokaw! What happened with Chef? Did you tell him she's a succubus?
Stan : We couldn't even talk to him, she's so evil. She has totally kept him away from us.
Cartman : [inspecting Scott Tenorman's chili dish] Huh, this chili looks pretty good. Weh, here's mine.
[hands his chili dish to Scott, who starts eating it]
Scott Tenorman: Mmm. Ah, I don't know. Your chili is pretty good, Cartman, but I think mine is better. Try it.
[takes the dish and starts eating. Both boys munch away for a few moments]
Cartman : Hey, this is great!
[Stan and Kyle stifle giggles]
Scott Tenorman: Eh, it's a special recipe.
Cartman : Gawh, this is really good, Scott!
Scott Tenorman: I'm glad you like it so much, because now that you're almost finished, I have something to tell you.
Cartman : What? You mean about how you put pubes in your chili?
Scott Tenorman: What?
Cartman : Yes, I'm afraid this isn't your chili, Scott. I switched it with Chef's.
[turns to Chef]
Cartman : It's delicious, Chef. I hadn't planned on that. What I did plan on, however, was that my friends, Stan and Kyle, would betray me and warn you that the Chili Con Carnival was a trap.
[Stan and Kyle are stunned]
Cartman : I assumed that they would tell you that I had trained Denkins' pony to bite off your weiner. What they didn't tell you was that Denkins is a crazy redneck who shoots trespassers on sight. Knowing that you would try and do something to the pony, I warned Mr. Denkins that violent pony killers were in the area. I also knew that you wouldn't go yourself, for fear of having your weiner bitten off. You would most likely send your parents. And, I'm afraid that when Mr. Denkins spotted them on his property, he shot and killed both your parents.
Mr. Denkins: Well, they was trespassin' and I was protectin' myself. I, I have my rights!
Scott Tenorman: My... mom and dad are... dead?
Cartman : I came just in time to see Mr. Denkins giving his report to Officer Barbrady. And of course, to steal the bodies. After a night with the hacksaw, I was all ready to put on my Chili Con Carnival, so that I could tell you personally about your parents' demise! And of course, feed you your chili. Do you like it? Do you like it, Scott? I call it, "Mr. & Mrs. Tenorman Chili."
Scott Tenorman: [looks at Cartman for a while, realizing what just happened] Oh, my God!
[gagging, he fishes through the plate and finds his mom's wedding ring, still on her finger. He tosses it away]
Scott Tenorman: Oh, my God!
[vomits off to the side]
Cartman : [leaps up on the table and sings] Nyahnyahnyahnyah nyah nyah! I made you eat your parents! Nyahnyahnyahnyah nyah nyah!
Stan : Jesus Christ, dude!
Scott Tenorman: [grief-stricken, he buries his face on the table] My mom and dad are dead!
[he pounds the table]
Scott Tenorman: No! Nooo!
[as Scott Tenorman cries after realizing he ate his parents in a bowl of chili, Radiohead arrive at the scene]
Thom Yorke: Uhm, excuse me?
Stan : Who are you?
Jonny Greenwood: We're that band Radiohead.
Scott Tenorman: [raises his head] Jesus!
Ed O'Brien: Jeez, what a li'l crybaby!
Colin Greenwood: Are you gonna cry all day, crybaby?
Thom Yorke: You know, everyone has problems; it doesn't mean you have to be a little crybaby about it.
Ed O'Brien: Come on, guys, let's go. This kid is totally not cool.
Thom Yorke: Yeah, that's the most uncool kid I've ever met.
Phil Selway: Little crybaby!
Scott Tenorman: No, wait! Waaiittt! Oh, my God, Oh, my Gaawwwd!
[buries his face on the table]
Cartman : [walks over to Scott's end of the table] Yes! Yesss! Oh, let me taste your tears, Scott!
[starts licking Scott's tears off his face]
Cartman : Mm, your tears are so yummy and sweet!
Kyle : Dude, I think it might be best for us to never piss Cartman off again.
Cartman : Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness! My-yummy!
[licks the tears off the table and off Scott's face]
Cartman : Mm-yummy, you guys!
[screen closes to Looney Tunes-style splash]
Cartman : Yuppitibut, that's all, folks!
Cartman : Excuse me, sir?
Cartman : I just can't take it anymore, you guys. All the dancing, singing, the late night parties... the Ben Affleck splooge... it has to stop.
Cartman : -whining- Mom - Ben Affleck is naked in my bed!
Liane Cartman : Oooh - the tooth fairy must have been very happy with you!
Cartman : There! That's three more songs we've written already! Your style of music is so easy, it doesn't require any thought at all!
Jennifer Lopez (Hand): Oh, si, si, si!
Cartman : [patting his toy dog] Hello, Precious! Yes, that's a good Precious!
[lowers down a bucket with lotion in it to a doll at the bottom of a well]
Cartman : Now, it takes the lotion from the basket.
Cartman : [impersonating the dolls voice] Oh, please, Mister. Please let me out of here!
Cartman : It puts the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again! Bark! bark! bark! Yes, that's a good Precious. Now, it puts the lotion back in the basket.
Cartman : [impersonating the dolls voice] Please, Mister, Let me out!
Cartman : It puts the lotion back in the basket!
Cartman : [impersonating the dolls voice] I miss my mom, Mister. I wanna' see my mommy!
Cartman : Put the lotion in the fucking basket!
Token Black : I can't help it!
Adam Sandler : You little shits! What the fuck have you done to us?

"South Park: Good Times with Weapons (#8.1)" (2004)
Cartman : Okay. Go ahead, Kyle. Throw your nunchucks away. If you can. But you know damn well that your Jewish blood won't let you. You can't throw away something you paid fifteen bucks for. Go ahead and try. Mel Gibson was right, Kyle. Right now the Jew in you is screaming 'No! Those cost money! Get your money back!' You know this to be true. Go ahead. Prove Mel Gibson wrong, Kyle. Do it.
[the townsfolk consult with Mayor McDaniels about the incident at the auction]
Man #1: Well, like the rest of you, I am shocked and appalled at what happened! I don't know if the parents are to blame or if it's the times we're living in, but something has to change!
Townsfolk: [amid chatter] Yeah! I agree!
Gerald Brofloski : This is the worst thing that's happened in this town! The worst thing!
Man #2: Yeah! I mean, there were children watching that auction! And when that little eight-year-old-boy walked up and flashed his... penis... it was an outrage!
[the adults go into an uproar again]
Cartman : What?
Skeeter: Not only that, the auction was televised on public access, so my little daughter watchin' at home saw the... penis! How am I supposed to explain that to her?
Sheila Broflovski : This is what happens when the moral fabric of society breaks down!
[the adults go into an uproar again]
Mr. Garrison : [shouts] You see the damage you've caused, Eric Cartman? What were you thinking?
Cartman : I told you it was a wardrobe malfunction!
[the adults go into an uproar again]
Kyle : Dude, they don't care we knocked Butters' eye out with weapons?
Stan : Just run with it, dude.
Kyle : [looks around, then stands on his chair] Uh, yeah! I agree! Uh, my fragile little eight-year-old mind didn't know how to deal with what I was seeing. Cartman should be punished!
[the adults agree, then go into an uproar again]
Cartman : Hey, fuck you, Kyle!
Eric Cartman : There's something you should probably know. Man, this is hard. Um, the thing is, me and Kyle are kind of, you know, together.
[trying to stir Nicole away from Kyle, whom she has a crush on]
Nichole : Ooohhh.
Eric Cartman : Yeah, he's my man. I'm more out than Kyle is, but it sucks because he acts like we're not a couple at school because he's embarrassed, but when we get home and he's the best boyfriend I've ever had.
Nichole : Wow, I'm sorry. I totally respect that. Hey, thanks a lot for telling me.
[puts an arm on his left shoulder]
Eric Cartman : Cool. So, just, you know, don't touch me 'cause I'm not into girls and it kind of grosses me out.
Nichole : Oh, I'm sorry.
[retracts her arm]
Eric Cartman : Yeah, cool. Anyway, thanks a lot, and, you know, stay away from my man, bitch.
[snaps a finger and walks away]
Eric Cartman : Love is like taking a dump, Butters; sometimes it works itself out, but sometimes you got to give it a nice hard slimey push.
Butters : That way, it won't matter if you get detention
Mr Mackey : [in the background] Eric, get your buns back here, mkay!
Jimmy : Wendy said she'd be here an hour before school starts, see you in the morning, ch-ch-champ!
Wendy Testaburger : [Cartman goes back to the chair he sat on, and finds Wendy knocking on the window] Tomorrow morning, you fucking die tomorrow morning!
Butters : [in lunch] Geez, I can't believe Wendy's fighting you after school.
Token Black: She is *pissed* off.
Eric Cartman : [confident] She is *not* gonna show up to a fight, dawg; I'm sure she's already trying to figure out a way to get out of it.
Clyde Donovan : Hey, check it out; she's totally staring you down.
[Wendy, who looks angry, is staring unblinking at Cartman]
Clyde Donovan : She sure seems confident. You should probably go easy on her, dude; you don't wanna put her in the hospital or anything.
Eric Cartman : [getting less confident] Yeah, I'm just gonna teach her a lesson; I'm not gonna totally... kick her ass...
[Wendy makes a fist with her right hand and punches her open left hand. Cartman starts to get extremely worried]
Jimmy : Can't go too easy on her, though; God forbid she gets in a g-good punch and b-beats you.
Butters : Yeah; if you got beat up by a girl, everyone would think you were a faggot.
[Cartman's confidence plummets and he panics, as all he sees is Wendy's face]
Kyle : [jubilant] Kenny! You're alive!
Stan : Dude, how'd you do that?
[pause]
Doctor: He can't respond to you, boys. Being dead for that long caused a severe damage to his brain.
Cartman : Well... well, then he's not alive.
Mrs. McCormick : He's alive. He smiles when I talk to him, I think...
Cartman : That's not Kenny! Kenny sniffs paint and sets things on fire! Here, look.
[climbs onto Kenny's bed, holding up a dollar bill to Kenny]
Cartman : Kenny, Kenny, look. Want a dollar?
[long pause]
Mr. McCormick : I don't know if it's right to keep Kenny alive on that machine. I just... I don't know what he would want.
Stan : Yeah, the lawyer lost that page.
Cartman : Oh, I just remembered! Kenny told me this one time, that he wouldn't wanna be kept alive by a feeding tube.
Kyle : Did not!
Cartman : [shouts] Fine! We'll see about this, you freakin' Jew! I'm gonna get that feeding tube removed if I have to go all the way to the Supreme Court!
[walks out the door]
[the crowds gather inside Hell's Pass Hospital in the battle for the feeding tube]
Kyle : [shouts] We all want the country to see that Kenny is alive, and in pain!
Cartman : [shouts] I believe the people at home see he's not in pain because he's a tomato!
Kyle : [shouts] You say tomato, but I say Kenny!
Cartman : [shouts] You say Kenny, but I say tomato!
Cartman's Side: [shouts] Tomato!
Kyle's Side: [shouts] Kenny! Kenny!
Cartman's Side: [shouts] Tomato!
"South Park: Imaginationland: Episode III (#11.12)" (2007)
Eric Cartman : You just rest, Kyle. Look what I made for you. A sundae. It has hot fudge and whipped cream and a cherry. But... I feel like something is missing, don't you, Kyle? What else belongs on a sundae besides hot fudge and whipped cream? Hmm... argh... hot fudge, whipped cream, what else belongs on a sundae, Kyle? Tsk, what else goes on a sundae besides hot fudge, whipped cream, and... oh, that's right! My balls.
Eric Cartman : Look, maybe they're all part of the same thing - Santa and Jesus and hell and leprechauns. Maybe they're all real in the same way, right?
Tom : Santa Claus and leprechauns are imaginary, but Jesus and hell are real.
Technician #1: Well then what about Buddha?
Tom : Well, of course, he's imaginary.
Technician #1: Aw, see? Now, you're being intolerant, Tom.
Grandpa : Choice piece of ass your great-grandma.
Eric Cartman : You piece of crap. I'll kill you.
Grandpa : That's the spirit, tubby.
[while Cartman is watching "Terrance and Phillip"]
Liane Cartman : Eric, dear. I just got a call from your friend Kyle's mother. She said this show is naughty, and might make you a pottymouth.
Eric Cartman : That's a bunch o' crap! Kyle's mom is a dirty Jew!
"South Park: An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig (#1.5)" (1997)
Cartman : If some girl tried to kick my ass, I'd be like, "Hey. Why don't you stop... dressing me up like a mailman... a-and making me dance for you... while you go and... smoke crack in your bedroom... and have sex with... some guy... I don't even know. On my dad's bed."
[Long pause]
Mr. Garrison : I'm not saying the rest of the school year will be easy. In fact, it's going to be long and hard.
[does motions for both words - the palms facomg each other and pulling apart, then two fists]
Mr. Garrison : Really long and really hard.
[emphasizes the motions]
Mr. Slave : Oh Jesus Christ.
Mr. Garrison : Ehewww, the first thing we're gonna be learning about is communist Russia.
[Starts writing Stalin on the board]
Eric Cartman : [Making a paper airplane] No, Kenny. What are you doing, Kenny?
Mr. Garrison : Now, Stalin was a big silly when it came to...
Eric Cartman : Kenny, no! Don't do it, Kenny!
[fires the plane off. It hits the board and falls away]
Mr. Garrison : Eric, did you just throw a paper airplane?
Eric Cartman : No, it was Kenny!
Mr. Garrison : Very funny, Eric! Kenny's dead!
Stan Marsh : Yeah, but Cartman drank Kenny's remains, and now Kenny's soul is trapped in Cartman's body.
The Class: Yeah!
Mr. Garrison : That does it! I will not put up with foolishness in my class! It's time for punishmenmt!
[reaches into his desk and pulls out a paddle, then strikes it against his left palm twice. He walks over to Mr. Slave and has him bend over]
Mr. Garrison : Take it Mr. Slave!
[swats him three times on the ass]
Eric Cartman : [after exiting an exhibit at the Museum of Tolerance where random racial and homophobic slurs are yelled out] I want to go again! I want to go again!
Kyle Broflovski : Thanks for saving me. Stan. You're *my* Super Best Friend.
Stan Marsh : You're *my* Super Best Friend too, Kyle.
Eric Cartman : Oh, that's so sweet, you guys! You wanna go get a room so you can make out for a while? Heheheh.
[Kyle and Stan take turns kicking Cartman in the nuts]
Stan : You're my super best friend, Kyle.
Kyle : You're my super best friend, Stan.
Cartman : Oh, that's so sweet you guys. You two want to get a room so you can make out for a while?
[both Stan and Kyle take turns kicking Cartman]
Cartman : Kenny said in hell people speak Spanish and the water there gives you diarrhea.

Cartman : Freinds ay' have to tell you dat last night, Ay' received a phone call from beyond da grave-ah.

Eric Cartman : Trent Boyett is a liar, sir.
Stan Marsh : You see, Mom, all the kids at school were told to bring a picture of their moms' breasts for anatomy class.
Eric Cartman : [as Stan's mom] I don't know, son, that sounds awfully strange. You cannot have a picture of my hot breasts.
Stan Marsh : But Mom, my teacher will...

"South Park: The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs (#14.2)" (2010)
Kyle : Mr. Garrison, didn't the guy who shot John Lennon say it was because of this book?
Mr. Garrison : Yes, apparently John Lennon's killer said he was inspired by Catcher in the Rye, but he was just a kook.
Eric : Whoa, you're telling us this book is filthy, inappropriate and made a guy shoot the king of hippies. Can we please read this right now?
Stan : [reading "Catcher In The Rye"] Did you get to *any* dirty parts yet?
Kyle : [also reading "Catcher..."] No! It's still just some whiny, annoying teenager talking about how lame he is.
Stan : I don't get it, dude. What's so controversial about this? All he's done is said "shit" and "fuck" a few times.
Kyle : I know! I'm almost at the end and there's nothing.
Eric : [enters, slamming door] Mother fucker! The whole thing. I read the whole *fucking* thing! I kept thinking, alright, the cool, offensive stuff must be coming. And then after a hundred pages I was like, *alright*, I guess all the dirty stuff is at the end. And then I got to the last page! And I was all, what da fuck is this! I JUST READ A BOOK, FOR NOTHING!
Kyle : Why the hell was this book banned?
Eric : They fucking tricked us, that's what they did! Tricked us into reading a book by enticing us with promises of vulgarity.

Leopold 'Butters' Stotch : I don't even understand how this thing...! Oh, wait, oh, I see.
[Cartman peaks]
Stan Marsh : Don't look at Butters' shlong, gaymo!
Eric Cartman : I wasn't looking at his shlong, I was seeing how to put the condom on!
Leopold 'Butters' Stotch : But it won't stay on. I-I need a rubber band or something.

Dean Howland : A what? Send him in.
[the doors open and in walks Cartman, dressed as a Southern gentleman]
Eric Cartman : [speaking like a Georgia plantation owner] Helloo thear! The name is Eric P Cartman. I'm a well-respected owner in the slave trade.
Dean Howland : In the what?
Eric Cartman : My peaches, what a wonderful office you got yourself heah. Certainly got yourself a luuucrative bidness, don't ye. Well let me get right down to it theyen. Like yourself,
[opens a humidor and takes out a cigar]
Eric Cartman : I am also in the slave trade.

Eric Cartman : But at the moment I find myself in a little quandary with ligal issues. Was wonderin' if you could share some secrets.
Dean Howland : I have... no idea what you're talkin' about.
Eric Cartman : [walks over to a picture of the UCB basketball team] You have some might strong-lookin' workers heah, sahr. I'd be willin' to offer you forty dollars for two of the white ones and fifty for the blacks.
Dean Howland : Are you refering to our student athletes?
Eric Cartman : Student atholetes. Hoho, that is brilliant sahr. Now, when we sell their likeness for video games, how do we get around payin' for our slaves uh- "student atheletes" then?
Dean Howland : Look, there are
[catches his breath]
Dean Howland : good reasons why our student athletes cannot be paid, young man
Eric Cartman : I ain't arguin'. If they got paid, then how did we make all owr money, right?
[slams his fist on his desk]
Dean Howland : not own slaves, and we have no desire to own slaves.
Eric Cartman : But of course you own slaves, because, oh... riiight.
[clears his throat]
Eric Cartman : Of couse you don't have desire to own slaves, son, neither do I. And if there was any government agency listenin' in on this heah conversation, they should know that we'er not talkin' 'bout slave ownership. Gaauu.
[waits a few seconds, then takes off his hat and softly says]
Eric Cartman : Alright, so now, how do you get around not paying your slaves.
Dean Howland : Get out! This is a prestigious university and I am not saying one more word to you!
Eric Cartman : You think you can do whatever you want 'cause your corporation is a university?
[walks towards the entrance and opens the door]
Eric Cartman : This country was founded on the idea that one corporation couldn't hog all the slaves, while the rest of us wallow in poverteh! Screw you sahr, I'm goin' home!
[walks out and closes the door]
Eric Cartman : Yeah.
Butters : But, fellas, if I go on Maury Povich with my balls on my chin, my parents are gonna be really mad.
Kyle Broflovski : We'll just tell your parents we're going on a camping trip with my parents. They'll never know.
Butters : I'm sorry, but the answer is ut-ah. Ut-ah, ut-ah.
Stan : Kenny would have done it.
[after a few seconds of silence]
Butters : So? I told you guys before: I'm not Kenny!
Kyle Broflovski : We know, believe me, we know. We're reminded every day you're not Kenny, 'cause Kenny was cool.
Eric Cartman : Yeah, God, I wish Kenny was still alive. He'd put balls on his chin. He was such an awsome friend.
Kyle Broflovski : Well, come on, guys. If Butters won't even put balls on his chin for us, I guess we know where we stand.
[the kids in class, including a new girl, see Ms. Garrison arriving, not too happy to teach them evolution]
Ms. Garrison : All right, kids, it is now my job to teach you the theory of evolution.
Butters : Oh boy!
Ms. Garrison : Now I, for one, think evolution is a bunch of *bullcrap*! But I've been told I have to teach it to you anyway. It was thought up by Charles Darwin and it goes something like this...
[she goes up to a large poster of evolution and begins pointing things out with her pointer]
Ms. Garrison : In the beginning, we were all fish. Okay? Swimming around in the water. And then one day a couple of fish had a retard baby, and the retard baby was different, so it got to live. So Retard Fish goes on to make more retard babies, and then one day, a retard baby fish crawled out of the ocean with its...
[she waves her left hand limply]
Ms. Garrison : ...mutant fish hands... and it had butt sex with a squirrel or something and made this.
[she points to a prehistoric mammal rodent]
Ms. Garrison : Retard frog-sqirrel, and then *that* had a retard baby which was a... monkey-fish-frog... And then this monkey-fish-frog had butt sex with that monkey, and that monkey had a mutant retard baby that screwed another monkey... and that made you!
[she faces the class, with the new girl among them looking around]
Ms. Garrison : So there you go! You're the retarded offspring of five monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel! Congratulations!
Cartman : [impatient for a Nintendo Wii, hops out of his chair and leaves the room, shouting] Haahhh! I can't take it anymore! Haaaaah!
Ms. Garrison : [thinking Cartman understands evolution] Yeah? You see? I *knew* that would happen.

"South Park: All About Mormons (#7.12)" (2003)
[last lines]
Gary Harrison : [to Stan] Look, maybe us Mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely no sense, and maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up, but I have a great life, and a great family, and I have the Book of Mormon to thank for that. The truth is, I don't care if Joseph Smith made it all up, because what the church teaches now is loving your family, being nice and helping people. And even though people in this town might think that's stupid, I still choose to believe in it. All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls.
[turns around and walks off]
Eric Cartman : Damn, that kid is cool, huh?
"South Park: Do the Handicapped Go to Hell? (#4.9)" (2000)
[Cartman's favorite "psalm"]
Cartman : It's a man's obligation to stick his boneration in a woman's separation, this sort of penetration will increase the population of the younger generation.
Stan : All right. Will you donate one of your kidneys to Kyle?
Cartman : [singing] No no no no no, no no no no no...
Stan : You only need one, fat boy!
Cartman : ...no no no no no no no no no no no...
Stan : Dude, one of your friends is gonna die. Don't you see how serious this is?
Cartman : HEY! THAT SON OF A BITCH!

Eric Cartman : Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...
Token : It may be a mistake, but you don't know how it feels when that word comes out. So don't say it isn't a big deal.
Eric Cartman : Oh shit, here we go! It's on! Race War! Race War! Race War! Race war's on everybody! It's going down! Shit is going down!
Stan Marsh : Token, my dad wasn't trying to be offensive, just forget about it.
Token : That's easy for you to say Stan.
Eric Cartman : Yeah, come on, here we go.
Stan Marsh : Yeah, but he didn't say it anger or anything like that.
Token : That doesn't mean I can just be fine.
Eric Cartman : Race war, come on! Race war!

[Stan performing as a psychic]
Stan : Ok, listen to me. Listen *very* carefully. This is a *trick* that I am doing. Ok? Watch. All I'm going to do is say a name that I'm gonna pick at random, ok?
[pause]
Stan : They want me to acknowledge... Pete or Peter.
Woman: Yes. Yes, my Peter.
[Woman cries and audiance applauds]
Stan : No. Stop clapping. All I did was pick a name at random and wait for somebody in the audiance to give a response. Now that I see a that there is a lone woman in the audiance *crying*, my instinct tells me Peter was her husband. So I say, "Peter was your husband?"
Woman: Yes, yes, yes. My husband, Peter.
[Audience applauds]
Stan : STOP IT. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
Man : You knew Peter was dead.
Stan : I didn't start by saying Peter is dead, I start by saying, "They want me to acknowledge Peter." That could have meant that Peter was in the audience or that Peter was somebody's friend or that Peter had died I couldn't be wrong. See? Now, I can look at this woman and can see that she is fairly young so odds are that her husband was fairly young when he died. So I can say something like, "I'm getting that Peter's death was very untimely."
Woman: [sobbing] Yes, it was.
[Audiance applauds]

Kyle Broflovski : Not yet.
Eric Cartman : They aren't going to find out who did it, but they'll make up a scapegoat, send him to detention, and make us all believe it; it'll be 9/11 all over again.
Kyle Broflovski : Will you shut up about 9/11?
Eric Cartman : Kyle, why are you so afraid of the truth?
Kyle Broflovski : Because anybody who thinks 9/11 was a conspiracy, is a retard!
Eric Cartman : Oh, really? Well, did you know that over one fourth of the people in America think that 9/11 was a conspiracy? Are you saying that one fourth of Americans are retards?

Kyle Broflovski : Yes! I'm saying one fourth of Americans are retards.
Stan Marsh : Yeah, at least one fourth.
Kyle Broflovski : Let's take a test sample: there's four of us, you're a retard, that's one fourth.

In medicine, what is the name for inflammation of the walls of a vein? | Phlebitis Treatment and Symptoms
Phlebitis Pictures
Phlebitis Definition
Phlebitis (fle-BYE-tis) is a condition in which a vein becomes inflamed (phleb=vein + it is=inflammation). The inflammation may cause pain and swelling. When the inflammation is caused by a blood clot or thrombus, it is called thrombophlebitis. Thrombophlebitis usually occurs in leg veins, but it may also affect the veins in the arms.
There are two sets of veins in the arms and legs, 1) the superficial veins that run just under the skin, and 2) the deep veins.
Superficial phlebitis affects veins on the skin surface. The condition is rarely serious and usually resolves with local treatment of the inflammation with warm compresses and anti-inflammatory medications. Sometimes superficial phlebitis can be associated with deep vein thrombophlebitis and medical evaluation may be needed.
Phlebitis in the deep veins is referred to as deep vein thrombophlebitis (or DVT , deep vein thrombosis ) affects the veins located deeper in the arms and legs. Blood clots (thrombi) that form may embolize or break off and travel to the lungs . This is a potentially life-threatening condition called pulmonary embolism .

Diseases of the Veins
Originally published October 22, 2002

Three sets of vessels comprise the circulatory system: arteries, lymphatics, and veins. Arteries bring oxygen-carrying blood from the heart to the tissues. In the normal course of blood circulation, small amounts of fluid and protein leak from arteries and veins. Lymphatic vessels bring this protein-rich fluid back into the circulation. The third type of blood vessel is the vein.
Veins bring oxygen-depleted blood from the organs and tissues to the heart and lungs, where it is re-oxygenated. Blood return to the heart tends to be passive and is enabled by muscle contraction in the arms and legs. Because the venous system is a low pressure one, the telltale complaints and physical signs of venous disease on which your physician relies for diagnosis are often subtle and sometimes require further testing. Diseases of the veins fall into two broad categories: blockage from a blood clot (thrombosis) and inadequate venous drainage (insufficiency).
Thrombosis
The legs are the most common location for blood clot formation (thrombus) in the venous system. Today, the most commonly encountered causes for blood clots include cancer, prolonged immobility, an inherited tendency for blood clotting, pregnancy, and contraceptive use.
Superficial Thrombophlebitis
Blood clots may develop in the veins that lie either just under the skin or deep within the limb. In the skin-deep (superficial) veins, a blood clot commonly appears as a red streak along the course of an affected vein and is often accompanied by inflammation (phlebitis). The vein may feel warm and tender and may be swollen. This combination of clot and inflammation, known as superficial thrombophlebitis, commonly occurs in the setting of varicose veins. Cancer may be the cause for development of many episodes of superficial blood clots; this is known as Trousseau’s syndrome.
Superficial thrombophlebitis is typically more annoying than dangerous because the likelihood that the clot(s) will break up and be transported in pieces to the lung is very low. Physicians commonly treat symptoms with leg elevation, moist heat, and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen). Rarely, blood clots with persistent symptoms will be treated with a short course of blood thinning medication (anticoagulation).
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Blood clots in the veins deep within the legs (deep vein thromboses, or DVTs) are more difficult to diagnose because symptoms are present in only 50% of patients. When symptoms are present, patients may complain of pain with walking, typically in the ball of the foot; leg swelling; leg pressure; or leg fullness. DVTs are classified as primary or secondary. Primary DVTs occur in the absence of an obvious cause and are usually caused by an inherited tendency to clotting. Secondary DVTs occur as a result of a specific event, like immobilization after surgery or cancer.
When a clot forms, blood return to the heart is blocked. Smaller, alternate veins (collateral vessels) can return blood back to the heart, but not so efficiently as the central large vein. This back-up increases both pressure within the vein and also fluid leakage from the vein, resulting in leg swelling. The clot itself can cause inflammation, producing warmth, redness, and tenderness. During examination, the doctor may note swelling, fullness of the affected muscles, or feel the cord of clotted blood in the vessel.
Physicians focus treatment on the complication of blood clots. Without treatment, up to one-fourth of all leg DVTs will have a piece of clot detach, travel through the veins, and lodge within the lungs, where it can cause a pulmonary embolism (PE). Complications of a PE are significant shortness of breath, marked exercise limitation, and death. (For a more detailed discussion, see the Cardiology Patient Page by Goldhaber SZ, Morrisson RB. Pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. Circulation. 2002;106:1436–1438.)
The diagnosis of DVT is most commonly made with ultrasound. Ultrasound is very reliable for discovering blood clots at or above the knee, the location most likely to send off an embolism. In contrast, the veins below the knee are smaller, the anatomy of the veins commonly varies between people, and the ability of the test to diagnose a DVT is not as high. Only rarely is it necessary to perform more testing, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or a dye test (a venogram).
To decrease the symptoms of a DVT and prevent the embolization of a fragment to the lungs, physicians will prescribe blood-thinning medication (anticoagulants), first heparin (given intravenously or by injection) and then warfarin (administered by mouth). Anticoagulation dramatically reduces the rate of pulmonary embolism, should be continued for 3 to 6 months, and requires frequent measurement of the level of blood thinning. Appropriate therapy lowers the occurrence of pulmonary embolism from 25% to 5% over the first year but is associated with a small increase (about 2% to 3%) in the risk of significant bleeding.
Two areas of therapy are controversial: (1) use of a clot-dissolving (thrombolytic) agent and (2) use of blood thinners for clots in the calf. Thrombolytic agents carry a much higher risk of bleeding and are typically reserved for severe DVTs that seriously restrict blood flow in the leg arteries. Most physicians will prescribe a blood thinning medication for calf blood clots, although the risk of embolization is lower. Anticoagulation should certainly be provided for patients with a calf DVT and an ongoing cause for clotting, such as cancer or orthopedic surgery. In some circumstances, physicians may opt for a repeat ultrasound 5 to 7 days later, treating only those clots that have changed in appearance.
Insufficiency
Resulting from a blood clot or an inherited abnormality of the vein wall, inadequate venous drainage (venous insufficiency) can be classified similarly to thrombosis: superficial (varicose veins) and deep (chronic venous insufficiency).
Varicose Veins
Superficial venous insufficiency is also known as varicose veins. These are dilated, snake-like segments of veins that lie just below the skin ( Figure 1 ). They are more common in women, and half of all patients being treated will have a family history. In the absence of a blood clot, there is most likely a structural abnormality of the vein wall or valve, allowing backflow of blood and increase in pressure within the vessel. Valves, which prevent backflow of blood, may become damaged, resulting in pooling of blood within the veins. Obesity, pregnancy, prolonged standing, and a sedentary lifestyle may exacerbate dilation of the veins.

If there had to be an image for cool, the man to fit it would be Dean Martin.
Martin was born Dino Paul Crocetti in Steubenville, Ohio, to Angela (Barra) and Gaetano Alfonso Crocetti, a barber. His father was an Italian immigrant, and his mother was of Italian descent. He spoke only Italian until age five. Martin came up the hard way, with such jobs as a boxer (named Kid Crochet), a steel mill worker, a gas station worker and a card shark.
In 1946, he got his first ticket to stardom, as he teamed up with another hard worker who was also trying to hit it big in Hollywood: Jerry Lewis . Films such as At War with the Army (1950) sent the team toward superstardom. The duo were to become one of Hollywood's truly great teams. They lasted 11 years together, and starred in 16 movies. They were unstoppable, but personality conflicts broke up the team. Even without Lewis, Martin was a true superstar.
Few thought that Martin would go on to achieve solo success, but he did, winning critical acclaim for his role in The Young Lions (1958) with Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift , and Some Came Running (1958), with Shirley MacLaine and Frank Sinatra . Movies such as Rio Bravo (1959) brought him international fame. One of his best remembered films is in Ocean's 11 (1960), in which he played Sam Harmon alongside the other members of the legendary Rat Pack: Frank Sinatra , Sammy Davis Jr. , Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford . Martin proved potent at the box office throughout the 1960s, with films such as Bells Are Ringing (1960) and Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964), again with Rat Pack pals Sammy Davis Jr. and Sinatra. During much of the 1960s and 1970s, Martin's movie persona of a boozing playboy prompted a series of films as secret agent Matt Helm and his own television variety show. Airport (1970) followed, featuring Martin as a pilot. He also played a phony priest in The Cannonball Run (1981).
In 1965, Martin explored a new method for entertaining his fans: Television. That year he hosted one of the most successful TV series in history: The Dean Martin Show (1965), which lasted until 1973. In 1965 it won a Golden Globe Award. In 1973 he renamed it "The Dean Martin Comedy Hour", and from 1974 to 1984 it was renamed again, this time "The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts". It became one of the most successful TV series in history, skewering such greats as Bob Hope , Frank Sinatra , Lucille Ball , James Stewart , George Burns ' Milton Berle , Don Rickles Phyllis Diller , and Joe Namath .
His last public role was a return to the stage, for a cross-country concert tour with Davis and Sinatra. He spoke affectionately of his fellow Rat Packers. "The satisfaction that I get out of working with these two bums is that we have more laughs than the audience has", Martin said.
After the 1980s, Martin took it easy--that is, until his son, Dean Paul Martin died in a plane crash in 1987. Devastated by the loss, from which he never recovered, he walked out on a reunion tour with Sinatra and Davis. Martin spent his final years in solitude. He died on Christmas Day, 1995.

Spouse (3)
Born at 11:55pm-CST
Interred at Westwood Memorial Park, Los Angeles, California, USA.
His parents were Gaetano and Angella Crocetti. Although born in Ohio, he spoke only Italian until age 5.
He had a fear of elevators and a love of comic books, which he read his entire life.
His career as a boxer was described by him as follows, "I won all but 11 fights." When asked how many he'd fought, he'd reply, "A dozen." In reality, he fought 36 bouts and won 25 of them under the name Dino Crocetti. He reportedly fought under the nickname Kid Crochet, although no records of fights have been found under that name.
Died exactly 29 years to the day (25 December 1995) after his mother, Angela Crocetti (25 December 1966).
Nephew of actor/comedian Leonard Barr .
Much of the "booze" that he drank on stage during his famous "Rat Pack" performances was really apple juice. (Son Dean Paul Martin spilled this secret, after the variety show ended production, stating that his father couldn't have performed if he'd really drunk that much liquor.)
Father in law of Carole Costello . She was married to Craig Martin, his oldest son & was the daughter of Lou Costello .
From 1973 to 1984, he was the host of the "Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts." In one of the most classic television series of all time, Dean and his panel of actors and comics would shower the guest of honor with insults. This series contained the most famous names in the history of entertainment, such as Bob Hope , Frank Sinatra , Lucille Ball , George Burns , James Stewart , Orson Welles , Jack Benny , Phyllis Diller , Milton Berle , Gene Kelly , Don Rickles , Rich Little , John Wayne , and Foster Brooks .
Dean's TV career began in 1950 with The Martin & Lewis Show on The Colgate Comedy Hour, which ran through 1955. He hosted various other shows before reluctantly taking the 1965 gig which turned into a 19-year success under various names.
Dean is one of few actors who have received not just one, but three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: one for Motion Pictures at 6519 Hollywood Blvd., one for Television at 6651 Hollywood Blvd, and a third for his recording career.
Underwent rhinoplasty when he was 27. The procedure was rumored to have been paid for by Lou Costello among others.
Son-in-law was the late Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys (married to Dean's daughter Gina).
Has a street named after him in San Antonio, Texas.
"Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime" - words written on his tombstone, after his signature hit.
Starred (with Jerry Lewis ) on NBC Radio's "The Martin and Lewis Show" (1949-1953).
He and Frank Sinatra were best friends, a fact he held very dear to his heart. The two didn't speak much, in the years after Dean quit the "Rat Pack Reunion" tour, but they did reconcile a few months before his death, over dinner - and a breadroll fight.
His friends often described him as easygoing and good natured, loving to laugh and make others laugh. They also said that he was sometimes quiet and liked to spend time alone, and that they seldom knew what he was thinking.
He and former wife Jeanne Martin maintained a friendship after their divorce, and consulted each other on family matters. When his health declined, Jeanne encouraged him not to worry about facing death, and to look at it as the chance he longed for, to be reunited with their son Dean Paul Martin , and with his parents.
His style of singing was initially influenced by Harry Mills of The Mills Brothers .
When 20th Century-Fox fired Marilyn Monroe as his co-star in Something's Got to Give (1962) and then attempted to replace her with Lee Remick , he reminded the studio that he had contractual approval of his co-star, and refused to continue the project without Monroe. His act of loyalty eventually got Marilyn re-hired, but she died of a drug overdose before shooting on this never-finished film could resume. Nine hours of largely unseen footage from the film remained in the vaults at 20th Century Fox until 1999. The film was then edited to include some of the unseen footage,wherever feasible and digitally restored, as a 37 minute film. After 39 years, The film finally premiered on Cable TV's "American Movie Classics", on June 1, 2001. It is available on DVD.
Although he had almost 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 charts between 1951 and 1968, only three went to number one: "That's Amore" (Capitol: 1953), "Memories Are Made of This" (Capitol: 1956), and his theme song, "Everybody Loves Somebody" (Reprise: 1964).
Despite the legend that he and comedy partner Jerry Lewis always despised each other, the two were actually quite close friends and the tension between the two began in 1956, when "outside people" (as Lewis called them to Peter Bogdanovich ) began to "poison" Martin against Lewis. Frank Sinatra eventually staged a public reunion over 20 years after, during a 1976 MDA telethon that Jerry was hosting. However they did reunite twice, briefly, during that 20 year hiatus. In 1958, they appeared together as surprise guests on "The Joey Bishop Show" and in 1960, they appeared together on stage at "The Sands" in Las Vegas where they did a duet of "Come Back To Me". Over the next 10 years, following their 70s reunion, they became close again.
He and the other members of the Rat Pack were banned from Marilyn Monroe 's funeral by Joe DiMaggio
Following his diagnosis of lung cancer at Cedars Sinai Medical Center on 16 September 1993, Martin finally quit smoking and even managed to perform briefly, and rather jauntily, at his 77th birthday celebration in June 1994. He declined to have major surgery on his liver and kidneys which doctors told him was necessary to prolong his life, and succumbed to respiratory failure on Christmas Day 1995.
He and Jerry Lewis , in1954, recorded a radio spot promoting "Tuck Tape" then a competing brand of "Scotch Tape and noticing the recording tape for the commercial was still rolling, decided to improvise additional radio spots, with Jerry and Dean slipping profanities into his dialog. The unedited master recording was surreptitiously taken from the studio and made into a "bootleg" record that sold briskly among collectors.
Although Martin was a Republican, he supported Frank Sinatra 's campaign to elect John F. Kennedy as President in 1960.
Had a night-club in North Bay Village, Florida in the late 1970s and early 1980s called Dino's. It was next to Jilly Rizzo 's club, Jilly's.
He declined to participate in the March on Washington in August 1963.
Dean was so distraught over the murder of his The Wrecking Crew (1968) co-star and friend Sharon Tate that he abandoned the next already-announced "Matt Helm" motion picture series installment (to be titled "The Ravagers"), and never played the character again.
Although he made out to be a heavy drinker on stage, he mostly used apple juice, but off stage was a Jack Daniels man.
Martin did not party all night with the rest of the "Rat Pack" crew - actually calling themselves "The Clan". He usually went to bed early so he could play golf the next morning. He was obsessed with golf, and once stated in an interview that he would have preferred to be a professional golfer than an entertainer.
He was a close friend of John Wayne and Gary Cooper .
At 16, Dean Martin was a welterweight boxer who compiled a record of 25-11.
One of his favorite hobbies during his reclusive final years was watching westerns on television - the older the better.
In 1962, Martin left Capitol Records and signed with Reprise, the label started and owned by Frank Sinatra. In 1964, he recorded his blockbuster hit, "Everybody Loves Somebody", which beat the Beatles to become the No. 1 hit in America for one week. It became the theme song for his television variety series, The Dean Martin Show (1965), which ran on NBC for eight years. Martin followed this with The Dean Martin Comedy World (1974), which ran from 1973 to 1974. An indelible part of Martin's television shtick was his comedic portrayal of life as a lush, which many viewers never realized was just an act.
After being drafted into the United States Army and serving a stateside year (1944-1945) in Akron, Ohio, during World War II, Martin was classified 4-F and was discharged.
Has 8 children: Stephen Craig Martin (b. June 29th 1942), Claudia Martin (b. March 16th 1944 - died 2001 (breast cancer), Barbara Martin (b. April 11th 1945 and Deana Martin (b. August 19th 1948) with first wife Elizabeth McDonald. Dean Paul Martin (b. November 17th 1951 - died March 21st 1987 (plane crash), Ricci Martin (b. September 20th 1953) and Gina Caroline Martin (b. December 20th 1956) with second wife Jeanne Martin and adopted daughter Sasha Martin with third wife Catherine Hawn.
He was a close friend of Montgomery Clift . Martin was always grateful for the help Clift had given him while filming The Young Lions (1958) - Martin's first major dramatic role - and he would accompany him to parties after the rest of Hollywood had disowned him due to his increasing addictions to drugs and alcohol.
Although Jerry Lewis was often made out to be the short guy in their act, he was actually the same height as Martin and used to cut the heel off of his shoe to achieve the effect.
Martin's variety show contract was utterly remarkable in how little he was required to participate. Martin felt he performed better cold and took notice of Fred MacMurray 's long-standing 65-day "on the set" contract for producer Don Fedderson for My Three Sons. He succeeded in reaching a new plateau on that one by only be contractually required to appear on the set during the taping. All guest stars, no matter how "big" were required to rehearse with stand-ins (see Greg Garrison ). As a result, Martin would often happily flub his lines, to the delight of his audience. More often than not, he'd leave the stage and be seen driving off the studio lot in his sports car before taping concluded.
He was awarded 3 Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Motion Pictures at 6519 Hollywood Boulevard, for Recording at 1617 Vine Street, and for Television at 6651 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California.
Once employed as a steelworker.
Was a close friend of Julie London .
Inducted into the Lou Holtz/Upper Ohio Valley Hall of Fame in 2001.
Although Martin's official height was 5'11", many people who knew him said he wore lifts and his real height was 5'9".
Growing up in Steubenville, Ohio, Martin was childhood friends with famed gambler and sports handicapper, Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder. (The two appeared together onscreen in "The Cannonball Run") Like Snyder, Martin began his early career hanging around Steubenville's notorious gambling dens.
His third wife Cathy was the daughter of Major League Baseball Player Jim Baxes , and sister of James Coleman .
In a telegram sent to his friend Elivis Presley he wrote: Dear Elvis, if you can't handle The Beatles, I'll do it for us. June 1964.
Was also a newspaper carrier in his younger days.
In his 1995 autobiography "In the Arena" Charlton Heston wrote that Frank Sinatra would not allow Martin to perform at the inaugural ball for Ronald Reagan 's first inauguration as President of the United States, because Martin was too drunk.
He usually wore lifts in films and on his television show.
In 1962, he recorded an American version of the French song "C'est si bon" which was written in 1947 by Henri Betti (music) and André Hornez (lyrics). The musical arrangements were done by Neal Hefti and the English lyrics were written by Jerry Seelen in 1950.

On Orson Welles : What can you say about Orson Welles that Don Rickles hasn't already said about him?!
On Bob Hope : As a young boy, Bob didn't have much to say. He couldn't afford writers then.
On Don Rickles : Don's idea of a fun evening is to show home movies of the attack on Pearl Harbor...with a laugh track.
On Johnny Carson : Johnny Carson is a comedian who is seen every night in millions of bedrooms all over America...and that's why his last wife left him.
On Milton Berle : Milton Berle is an inspiration to every young person that wants to get into show business. Hard work, perseverance, and discipline: all the things you need...when you have no talent.
On his tee-total friend Pat Boone : "I once shook hands with Pat Boone, and my whole right side sobered up!"
I'd hate to be a teetotaler. Imagine getting up in the morning and knowing that's as good as you're going to feel all day.
I can't stand an actor or actress who tells me acting is hard work. It's easy work. Anyone who says it isn't never had to stand on his feet all day dealing blackjack.
Motivation is a lotta crap.
Someone else, would have laid around, feeling sorry for himself, for a year. But Duke, he just doesn't know, how to be sick ... he's recuperating the hard way. He's two loud speaking guys in one. Me, when people see me, they sometimes say, 'Oh, there goes Perry Como .' But there's only one 'John Wayne', and nobody makes any mistakes about that. - On The Sons of Katie Elder (1965)

Legendary Singer, Actor, and Comedian. Born Dino Paul Crocetti in Stuebenville, Ohio. Before achieving stardom, he performed various job duties, some of which were as a steelmill worker, a service station attendant, a gambler, and he also tried to be a professional boxer. As a boxer, he fought under the name of "Kid Crochet." When asked about his boxing career, he said that he had won "all" but 11 of his 12 bouts. In 1946 his life would change forever when he met a very hard working young up-start named Jerry Lewis. This would mark the beginning of one of Hollywood's greatest teams. During the next 11 years and 16 films, the team of Martin and Lewis not only brought about super-stardom, but it also brought a lot of personal conflicts. These conflicts not only led to their break-up, but the hurt was felt by the two for a great number of years. After the Martin-Lewis split, 1958-59 brought two films for Dean, "The Young Lions" (1958) and a film entitled "Rio Bravo" (1959). In this film, he was not only starring with another Hollywood icon, John Wayne, but also a very popular teen idol, Ricky Nelson. While sharing songs with Nelson in this film, it became a hit with music fans everywhere. A 1960 film, however, added yet another high point in his career. The mega-hit film "Oceans Eleven" would bring with it the ever famous "rat pack" label, when he was teamed with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford. This proved to be an enduring bond among these greats. Dean's film career continued until 1965, when he made a daring venture into the television industry with "The Dean Martin Show." He hosted this show until 1973, and earned a Golden Globe award. His show would change, and by adding a panel of some of Hollywood's biggest names, the "Dean Martin's Celebrity Roast" was formed. This show would be known as one of the best in television history, and will remain a classic. When the show's run ended in 1984, and after a 19 year stint in tv, he thought it was a time to relax, but after a short respite, he went on a singing tour with his old friends of the "rat pack." But 1987 would bring with it a very tragic event, one from which Dean would never recover, when his son, Dean Paul Martin, was killed in a plane crash. Dean immediately left the rat pack tour, never to return, and he resigned to a solitary life until his death on a Christmas day. In his personal life, Dean was married 3 times, of which all ended in divorce. His first wife was Betty Mcdonald (1940-49) and had 4 children. His second wife was Jeanne Biegger (1949-73) 3 children. And his third wife Catherine Hawn (1973-76) with one step daughter. As a singer, he was known as one of the greatest crooners, and "Dino" was an extremely popular singer with the Italian segment of society. Dean has been honored by Hollywood with 3 stars on the Walk of Fame. (bio by: Paul Duncan)

[edit] Early life
Martin was born in Steubenville, Ohio, to Italian parents, Gaetano and Angela Crocetti (née Barra). His father was from Abruzzo, Italy, and his mother was an Italian of part Neapolitan and part Sicilian ancestry. Martin was the younger of two sons. His brother was named Bill. Martin spoke only Italian until he started school. He attended Grant Elementary School in Steubenville, and took up the drums as a hobby as a teenager. He was the target of much ridicule for his broken English and ultimately dropped out of Steubenville High School in the 10th grade because he thought that he was smarter than his teachers. He delivered bootleg liquor, served as a speakeasy croupier, was a blackjack dealer, worked in a steel mill and boxed as welterweight. He grew up a neighbor to Jimmy the Greek.
At the age of 15, he was a boxer who billed himself as "Kid Crochet". His prizefighting years earned him a broken nose (later straightened), a scarred lip, and many sets of broken knuckles (a result of not being able to afford the tape used to wrap boxers' hands). Of his twelve bouts, he would later say "I won all but eleven."[3] For a time, he roomed with Sonny King, who, like Martin, was just starting in show business and had little money. It is said that Martin and King held bare-knuckle matches in their apartment, fighting until one of them was knocked out; people paid to watch.
Eventually, Martin gave up boxing. He worked as a roulette stickman and croupier in an illegal casino behind a tobacco shop where he had started as a stock boy. At the same time, he sang with local bands, calling himself "Dino Martini" (after the famous Metropolitan Opera tenor, Nino Martini). He got his first break working for the Ernie McKay Orchestra. He sang in a crooning style influenced by Harry Mills (of the Mills Brothers), among others. In the early 1940s, he started singing for bandleader Sammy Watkins, who suggested that he change his name to Dean Martin.
In October 1941, Martin married Elizabeth Anne McDonald. During their marriage (ended by divorce in 1949), they had four children. Martin worked for various bands throughout the early 1940s, mostly on looks and personality until he developed his own singing style. Martin famously flopped at the Riobamba, a high class nightclub in New York,[4] when he followedFrank Sinatra in 1943, but it was the setting for their meeting.
Martin was drafted into the United States Army in 1944 during World War II, serving a year stationed in Akron, Ohio. He was then reclassified as 4-F and was discharged (possibly because of a double hernia; Jerry Lewis referred to the surgery that Martin needed for this in his autobiography).
By 1946, Martin was doing relatively well, but was still little more than an East Coast nightclub singer with a common style, similar to that of Bing Crosby. He drew audiences to the clubs where he played, but he inspired none of the fanatical popularity enjoyed by Sinatra. [edit] Mafia connections
A biography on Martin entitled Dean Martin: King of the Road by Michael Freedland alleged that he had links to the Mafia early in his career. According to this book, Martin was given help with his singing career by the Chicago Outfit who owned saloons in the city, and later performed in shows hosted by these bosses when he was a star. The mob bosses were Tony ("Joe Batters") Accardo and Sam Giancana. Freedland suggests that Martin felt little sympathy for the Mafia and did them small favors only if it was not inconvenient for him. Another book, The Animal in Hollywood by John L. Smith, depicted Martin's longtime friendship with Mafia mobsters "Handsome Johnny" Roselli and Anthony ("The Animal") Fiato. Smith suggested that Fiato did Martin many favors, such as getting back money from two swindlers who had cheated his ex-wife Betty out of thousands of dollars of her alimony.[5] [edit] Career [edit] Teaming with Jerry Lewis Main article: Martin and Lewis Martin and Jerry Lewis
Martin attracted the attention of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Columbia Pictures, but a Hollywood contract was not forthcoming. He met comic Jerry Lewis at the Glass Hat Club in New York, where both men were performing. Martin and Lewis formed a fast friendship which led to their participation in each other's acts and the ultimate formation of a music-comedy team.
Martin and Lewis's official debut together occurred at Atlantic City's 500 Club on July 24, 1946, and they were not well received. The owner, Skinny D'Amato, warned them that if they did not come up with a better act for their second show later that night, they would be fired. Huddling together in the alley behind the club, Lewis and Martin agreed to "go for broke", to throw out the pre-scripted gags and to improvise. Martin sang and Lewis came out dressed as a busboy, dropping plates and making a shambles of both Martin's performance and the club's sense of decorum until Lewis was chased from the room as Martin pelted him with breadrolls. They did slapstick, reeled off old vaudeville jokes, and did whatever else popped into their heads at the moment. This time, the audience doubled over in laughter. This success led to a series of well-paying engagements on the Eastern seaboard, culminating in a triumphant run at New York's Copacabana. Patrons were convulsed by the act, which consisted primarily of Lewis interrupting and heckling Martin while he was trying to sing, and ultimately the two of them chasing each other around the stage and having as much fun as possible. The secret, both said, is that they essentially ignored the audience and played to one another.
The team made its TV debut on the very first broadcast of CBS-TV network's Toast of the Town (later called The Ed Sullivan Show) with Ed Sullivan and Rodgers & Hammerstein appearing on this same inaugural telecast of June 20, 1948. A radio series commenced in 1949, the same year Martin and Lewis were signed by Paramount producer Hal B. Wallis as comedy relief for the movie My Friend Irma.
Their agent, Abby Greshler, negotiated for them one of Hollywood's best deals: although they received only a modest $75,000 between them for their films with Wallis, Martin and Lewis were free to do one outside film a year, which they would co-produce through their own York Productions. They also had complete control of their club, record, radio and television appearances, and it was through these endeavors that they earned millions of dollars.
In Dean & Me, Lewis calls Martin one of the great comic geniuses of all time. But the harsh comments from the critics, as well as frustration with the formulaic similarity of Martin and Lewis movies, which producer Hal Wallis stubbornly refused to change, led to Martin's dissatisfaction.[citation needed] He put less enthusiasm into the work, leading to escalating arguments with Lewis. They finally could not work together, especially after Martin told his partner he was "nothing to me but a dollar sign". The act broke up in 1956, 10 years to the day from the first official teaming.
Martin's first solo film, Ten Thousand Bedrooms (1957), was a box office failure. He was still popular as a singer, but with rock and roll surging to the fore, the era of the pop crooner was waning.
The CBS film, Martin and Lewis, a made-for-TV movie about the famous comedy duo, starred Jeremy Northam as Martin, and Sean Hayes as Lewis. It depicted the years from 1946–1956. [edit] Solo career Dean Martin in Rio Bravo
Never totally comfortable in films, Martin wanted to be known as a real actor. Though offered a fraction of his former salary to co-star in a war drama, The Young Lions (1957), he was ecstatic to receive the part because it would be a dramatic showcase with the two most intriguing young actors of the period and he could learn from Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift. Tony Randall already had the part, but talent agency MCA realized that with this movie, Martin would become a triple threat: they could make money from his work in night clubs, movies, and records. Martin replaced Randall and the film turned out to be the beginning of Martin's spectacular comeback. Success would continue as Martin starred alongside Frank Sinatra for the first time in a highly acclaimed Vincente Minnelli drama, Some Came Running (1958). By the mid '60s, Martin was a top movie, recording, and nightclub star, while Lewis' film career declined. Martin was acclaimed for his performance as Dude in Rio Bravo (1959), directed by Howard Hawks and also starring John Wayne and singer Ricky Nelson. He teamed up again with Wayne in The Sons of Katie Elder (1965), somewhat unconvincingly cast as brothers.
In 1960, Martin was cast in the motion picture version of the Judy Holliday hit stage play Bells Are Ringing. Martin played a satiric variation of his own womanizing persona as Vegas singer "Dino" in Billy Wilder's comedy Kiss Me, Stupid (1964) with Kim Novak, and he was not above poking fun at his image in films such as the Matt Helm spy spoofs of the 1960s, in which he was a co-producer.
As a singer, Martin copied the styles of Harry Mills (of the Mills Brothers), Bing Crosby, and Perry Como until he developed his own and could hold his own in duets with Sinatra and Crosby. Like Sinatra, he could not read music, but he recorded more than 100 albums and 600 songs. His signature tune, "Everybody Loves Somebody", knocked The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" out of the number-one spot in the United States in 1964. This was followed by the similarly-styled "The Door is Still Open to My Heart", which reached number six later that year. Elvis Presley was said to have been influenced by Martin, and patterned "Love Me Tender" after his style. Martin, like Elvis, was influenced by country music. By 1965, some of Martin's albums, such as Dean "Tex" Martin, The Hit Sound Of Dean Martin, Welcome To My World and Gentle On My Mind were composed of country and western songs made famous by artists like Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and Buck Owens. Martin hosted country performers on his TV show and was named "Man Of the Year" by the Country Music Association in 1966. "Ain't That a Kick in the Head", a song Martin performed in Ocean's Eleven that never became a hit at the time, has enjoyed a spectacular revival in the media and pop culture.
For three decades, Martin was among the most popular acts in Las Vegas. Martin sang and was one of the smoothest comics in the business, benefiting from the decade of raucous comedy with Lewis. Martin's daughter, Gail, also sang in Vegas and on his TV show, co-hosting his summer replacement series on NBC. Though often thought of as a ladies' man, Martin spent a lot of time with his family; as second wife Jeanne put it, prior to the couple's divorce, "He was home every night for dinner." [edit] The Rat Pack Main article: Rat Pack
As Martin's solo career grew, he and Frank Sinatra became close friends. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Martin and Sinatra, along with friends Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford, and Sammy Davis, Jr. formed the legendary Rat Pack, so called by the public after an earlier group of social friends, the Holmby Hills Rat Pack centered on Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, of which Sinatra had been a member.
The Martin-Sinatra-Davis-Lawford-Bishop group referred to themselves as "The Summit" or "The Clan" and never as "The Rat Pack", although this has remained their identity in the popular imagination. The men made films together, formed an important part of the Hollywood social scene in those years, and were politically influential (through Lawford's marriage to Patricia Kennedy, sister of President John F. Kennedy).
The Rat Pack were legendary for their Las Vegas performances. For example, the marquee at the Sands Hotel might read DEAN MARTIN---MAYBE FRANK---MAYBE SAMMY. Las Vegas rooms were at a premium when the Rat Pack would appear, with many visitors sleeping in hotel lobbies or cars to get a chance to see the three men together. Their act (always in tuxedo) consisted of each singing individual numbers, duets and trios, along with much seemingly improvised slapstick and chatter. In the socially-charged 1960s, their jokes revolved around adult themes, such as Sinatra's infamous womanizing and Martin's legendary drinking, as well as many at the expense of Davis's race and religion. Davis famously practiced Judaism and used Yiddish phrases onstage, eliciting much merriment from both his stage-mates and his audiences.[citation needed] It was all good-natured male bonding, never vicious, rarely foul-mouthed,[citation needed] and the three had great respect for each other. The Rat Pack was largely responsible for the integration of Las Vegas. Sinatra and Martin (both liberal Democrats) were active supporters of the Civil Rights Movement and refused to perform in clubs that would not allow African-American or Jewish performers.[citation needed]
Posthumously, the Rat Pack has experienced a popular revival, inspiring the George Clooney/Brad Pitt "Ocean's" trilogy. An HBO film, The Rat Pack, starred Joe Mantegna as Martin, Ray Liotta as Sinatra and Don Cheadle as Davis. It depicted their contribution to JFK's election in 1960. [edit] The 1960s to 1980s
In 1965, Martin launched his weekly NBC comedy-variety series, The Dean Martin Show, which exploited his public image as a lazy, carefree boozer. There he perfected his famous laid-back persona of the half-drunk crooner suavely hitting on beautiful women with hilarious remarks that would get anyone else slapped, and making snappy if slurred remarks about fellow celebrities during his famous roasts. During an interview he stated, and this may have been tongue-in-cheek, that he had someone record them on cassette tape so he could listen to them; this is evidenced by his comments to this effect on the British TV documentary 'Wine, Women and Song' which was aired in 1983.
The TV show was a success. Martin prided himself on memorizing whole scripts – not merely his own lines.[citation needed] He disliked rehearsing because he firmly believed his best performances were his first.[citation needed] The show's loose format prompted quick-witted improvisation from Martin and the cast. On occasion, he made remarks in Italian, some mild obscenities that brought angry mail from offended, Italian-speaking viewers.[citation needed] This prompted a battle between Martin and NBC censors, who insisted on more scrutiny of the show's content. The show was often in the Top Ten. Martin, deeply appreciative of the efforts of the show's producer, his friend Greg Garrison, later made a handshake deal giving Garrison, a pioneer TV producer in the 1950s, 50% ownership of the show. However, the validity of that ownership is currently the subject of a lawsuit brought by NBC Universal.
Despite Martin's reputation as a heavy drinker – a reputation perpetuated via his vanity license plates reading "DRUNKY" – he was remarkably self-disciplined.[6] He was often the first to call it a night, and when not on tour or on a film location, liked to go home to see his wife and children. Phyllis Diller has said that Martin was indeed drinking alcohol onstage and not apple juice. She also commented that although he was not drunk, he was not really sober either, but had very strict rules when it came to performances. He borrowed the lovable-drunk shtick from Joe E. Lewis, but his convincing portrayals of heavy boozers in Some Came Running and Howard Hawks's Rio Bravo led to unsubstantiated claims of alcoholism. More often than not, Martin's idea of a good time was playing golf or watching TV, particularly westerns – not staying with Rat Pack friends Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. into the early hours of the morning.[citation needed]
Martin starred in and co-produced a series of four Matt Helm superspy comedy adventures. A fifth, The Ravagers, was planned starring Sharon Tate and Martin in a dual role, one as a serial killer, but due to the murder of Tate and the decline of the spy genre, the film was never made.[citation needed]
By the early 1970s, The Dean Martin Show was still earning solid ratings, and although he was no longer a Top 40 hitmaker, his record albums continued to sell steadily. His name on a marquee could guarantee casinos and nightclubs a standing-room-only crowd. He found a way to make his passion for golf profitable by offering his own signature line of golf balls. Shrewd investments had greatly increased Martin's personal wealth; at the time of his death, Martin was reportedly the single largest minority shareholder of RCA stock. Martin even managed to cure himself of his claustrophobia by reportedly locking himself in the elevator of a tall building and riding up and down for hours until he was no longer panic-stricken.[citation needed]
Now comfortable financially, Martin did not need to work as much and he began reducing his schedule. The final (1973–74) season of his variety show would be retooled into one of celebrity roasts, requiring less of Martin's involvement. After the show's cancellation, NBC continued to air The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast format in a series of TV specials through 1984. In those 11 years, Martin and his panel of pals successfully ridiculed and made fun of these legendary stars in this order: Ronald Reagan, Hugh Hefner, Ed McMahon, William Conrad, Kirk Douglas, Bette Davis, Barry Goldwater, Johnny Carson, Wilt Chamberlain, Hubert Humphrey, Carroll O'Connor, Monty Hall, Jack Klugman & Tony Randall, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Leo Durocher, Truman Capote, Don Rickles, Ralph Nader, Jack Benny, Redd Foxx, Bobby Riggs, George Washington, Dan Rowan & Dick Martin, Hank Aaron, Joe Namath, Bob Hope, Telly Savalas, Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, Sammy Davis Jr, Michael Landon, Evel Knievel, Valerie Harper, Muhammad Ali, Dean Martin, Dennis Weaver, Joe Garagiola, Danny Thomas, Angie Dickinson, Gabe Kaplan, Ted Knight, Peter Marshall, Dan Haggerty, Frank Sinatra, Jack Klugman, Jimmy Stewart, George Burns, Betty White, Suzanne Somers, Joan Collins, and Mr T. For nearly a decade, Martin had recorded as many as four albums a year for Reprise Records. That stopped in November 1974, when Martin recorded his final Reprise album - Once In A While, released in 1978. His last recording sessions were for Warner Brothers Records. An album titled The Nashville Sessions was released in 1983, from which he had a hit with "(I Think That I Just Wrote) My First Country Song", which was recorded with Conway Twitty and made a respectable showing on the country charts. A followup single "L.A. Is My Home" / "Drinking Champagne" came in 1985. The 1975 film Mr. Ricco marked Martin's final starring role, and Martin limited his live performances to Las Vegas and Atlantic City.[citation needed]
Martin seemed to suffer a mid-life crisis. In 1972, he filed for divorce from his second wife, Jeanne. A week later, his business partnership with the Riviera was dissolved amid reports of the casino's refusal to agree to Martin's request to perform only once a night. He was quickly snapped up by the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, and signed a three-picture deal with MGM Studios. Less than a month after his second marriage had been legally dissolved, Martin married 26-year-old Catherine Hawn on April 25, 1973. Hawn had been the receptionist at the chic Gene Shacrove hair salon in Beverly Hills. They divorced November 10, 1976. He was also briefly engaged to Gail Renshaw, Miss World-U.S.A. 1969.
Eventually, Martin reconciled with Jeanne, though they never remarried. He also made a public reconciliation with Jerry Lewis on Lewis' Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon in 1976. Frank Sinatra shocked Lewis and the world by bringing Martin out on stage. As Martin and Lewis embraced, the audience erupted in cheers and the phone banks lit up, resulting in one of the telethon's most profitable years. Lewis reported the event was one of the three most memorable of his life. Lewis brought down the house when he quipped, "So, you working?" Martin, playing drunk, replied that he was "at the Meggum" – this reference to the MGM Grand Hotel convulsed Lewis.[citation needed] This, along with the death of Martin's son Dean Paul Martin a few years later, helped to bring the two men together. They maintained a quiet friendship, but only performed together again once, in 1989, on Martin's 72nd birthday.[citation needed] [edit] Personal life
Martin was married three times. Martin's first wife, Betty McDonald, tried by all accounts to be a good wife and mother to their four children, but her efforts were ultimately undone by her alcoholism. It remains a matter of speculation whether her alcoholism led to the failure of the marriage, or whether Martin's infidelities led to Betty's alcoholism. Subsequent to their divorce, Martin gained custody of their children; Betty lived out her life in quiet obscurity in San Francisco. Their children were Stephen Craig (born June 29, 1942), Claudia Dean (March 16, 1944 - 2001 from breast cancer), Barbara Gail (born April 11, 1945) and Deana (Dina) (born August 19, 1948).
Martin's second wife was Jeanne Biegger. A stunning blonde, Jeanne could sometimes be spotted in Martin's audience while he was still married to Betty. Their marriage lasted 24 years (1949–1973) and produced three children. Their children were Dean Paul (November 17, 1951 - March 21, 1987; plane crash), Ricci James (born September 20, 1953) and Gina Caroline (born December 20, 1956).
Martin's third marriage, to Catherine Hawn, lasted three years. One of Martin's managers had spotted her at the reception desk of a hair salon on Rodeo Drive, then arranged a meeting. Martin adopted Hawn's daughter, Sasha, but their marriage also failed. Martin initiated divorce proceedings.
Martin's uncle was Leonard Barr, who appeared in several of his shows.
Later years and death
On December 1, 1983 while gambling at the Golden Nugget casino in Atlantic City, Martin and Sinatra intimidated the dealer and several employees into breaking New Jersey law by making the dealer deal the cards by hand instead of from a shoe. Although Sinatra and Martin were implicated as the cause of the violation, neither was fined by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission. The Golden Nugget received a $25,000 fine (which Sinatra paid, stating that it was his responsibility as he and Martin were the cause of the fine) and four employees including the dealer, a supervisor and pit boss were suspended from their jobs without pay.
Martin returned to films briefly with appearances in the two star-laden, yet critically panned Cannonball Run movies. He also had a minor hit single with "Since I Met You Baby" and made his first music video, which appeared on MTV. The video was created by Martin's youngest son, Ricci.
On March 21, 1987, Martin's son, Dean Paul (formerly Dino of the '60s "teeny-bopper" rock group Dino, Desi & Billy), was killed when his F-4 Phantom II jet fighter crashed while flying with the California Air National Guard. A much-touted tour with Davis and Sinatra in 1988 sputtered. On one occasion, he infuriated Sinatra when he turned to him and muttered, "Frank, what the hell are we doing up here?" Martin, who always responded best to a club audience, felt lost in the huge stadiums they were performing in (at Sinatra's insistence), and he was not interested in drinking until dawn after performances. His final Vegas shows were at Bally's Hotel in 1990. There he had his final reunion with Jerry Lewis on his 72nd birthday. Martin's last two TV appearances involved tributes to his former Rat Pack members. On December 8, 1989, he joined many stars of the entertainment industry in Sammy Davis, Jr's 60th anniversary celebration, which aired only a few weeks before Davis died from throat cancer. In December 1990, he congratulated Frank Sinatra on his 75th birthday special.
Martin was diagnosed with lung cancer at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in September 1993, and in early 1995 retired from public life. He died of acute respiratory failure resulting from emphysema at his Beverly Hills home on Christmas morning 1995, at age 78.[7] The lights of the Las Vegas Strip were dimmed in his honor. [edit] Tributes and legacy
In 1996, Ohio Rte. 7, through Steubenville, was rededicated as "Dean Martin Boulevard." Road signs bearing an Al Hirschfeld caricature of Martin's likeness officially designate the stretch, along with a state historical marker, in the Gazebo Park at Route 7 and North Fourth Street.
An annual "Dean Martin Festival" celebration is held in Steubenville. Impersonators, friends and family of Martin, and various entertainers, many of Italian ancestry, appear.
In 2005, Las Vegas renamed Industrial Road as Dean Martin Drive. A similarly named street was dedicated in 2008 in Rancho Mirage, California.
Martin's family was presented a gold record in 2004 for Dino: The Essential Dean Martin, his fastest-selling album ever, which also hit the iTunes Top 10. For the week ending December 23, 2006, the Dean Martin and Martina McBride duet of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" reached #7 on the R&R AC chart. It also went to #36 on the R&R Country chart - the last time Martin had a song this high in the charts was in 1965, with the song "I Will", which reached #10 on the Pop chart.
An album of duets, Forever Cool, was released by Capitol/EMI in 2007. It features Martin's voice with Kevin Spacey, Shelby Lynne, Joss Stone, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Robbie Williams, McBride and others.
His footprints were immortalized at Grauman's Chinese Theater in 1964. Martin has three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: one at 6519 Hollywood Boulevard, for movies; one at 1617 Vine, for recordings; and one at 6651 Hollywood Boulevard, for television.
In February 2009, Martin was honored with a posthumous Grammy award for Lifetime Achievement. Four of his surviving children, Gail, Deana, Ricci and Gina, were on hand to accept on his behalf. In 2009, Martin was inducted into the Hit Parade Hall of Fame. [edit] Popular culture
A number of Dean Martin songs have constantly been featured across popular culture for decades. Hit songs such as "Ain't That a Kick in the Head", "Sway","You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You", "That's Amore", and Martin's signature song "Everybody Loves Somebody" (and many more) have been used in films (such as the Oscar-winning Payback, Logorama, A Bronx Tale, Casino, Goodfellas, and Return to Me), television series (such as American Dad!, Friends, and House MD), video games (such as The Godfather: The Game, The Godfather II, Fallout: New Vegas, and Mafia II), and even fashion shows (such as the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2008). [edit] In film and television
In a 1996 episode of the NBC-TV series Boston Common, actor Anthony Clark pantomimes and dances a routine to Martin's 1960 song, "Ain't That A Kick In The Head?" In That '70s show episode, S-6/E-2 "Join Together." When the Forman's were throwing away all of their bad foods and drinks, because of Red's Heart Attack. Red's beloved beer and his meats were taken away and Red's Fresh mouth son, Eric said,"Whoa look at this, it looks like Dean Martin exploded!" In the movie A Bronx Tale, Martin's song, "Ain't That A Kick In The Head?", was featured during the scene when C was playing dice. A Budweiser TV commercial that premiered during Super Bowl XLI featured Martin's "Ain't That A Kick In The Head?". British actor Jeremy Northam portrayed the entertainer in a made-for-TV movie called, Martin and Lewis, alongside Will & Grace's Sean Hayes as Jerry Lewis. Martin was portrayed by Joe Mantegna in an HBO movie about Sinatra and Martin titled The Rat Pack. Mantegna was nominated for both an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for the role. In the movie Return to Me, three of his recordings are featured: "Good Morning, Life," "Buona Sera" and "Return to Me". Danny Gans portrayed Martin in the miniseries Sinatra. In the pilot episode of White Collar, Peter refers to Neal as "Dino", referencing the newly-found Sy Devore suits that Neal now wears – made famous by the "Rat Pack". In the movie Pulp Fiction, Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega go out to dinner at "Jack Rabbit Slim's" – she chooses "Martin and Lewis", and a $5 milkshake shows up. In the movie Moonstruck, Martin's recording of "That's Amore" plays over both the opening and closing credits. In the HBO television series, The Sopranos, in season 6 episode "Johnny Cakes", "That's Amore" is heard when Vito Spatafore is cooking. In the Wong Kar-Wai movie 2046, Martin's recording of "Sway" is played extensively. In a Royal Automobile Club commercial, "Memories are Made of This" is sung.
In games and gambling
Martin is the subject of "Dean Martin's Wild Party", a video slot machine found in some casinos. The game features songs sung by Martin during the bonus game and the count-up of a player's winnings. The 2010 video game, Fallout: New Vegas, features Martin's "Ain't that a Kick in the Head?" throughout the game. It can be listened to on the "New Vegas" radio channel and heard on the loud speakers when entering the Vegas Strip. The first quest of the game is also ironically named after the same song, as the player character is afflicted with a headshot wound. Dean Martin's music is featured on the radios in the game Mafia II and Godfather II.
in music
A compilation album called, Amore!, debuted at Number One on Billboard magazine's Top Pop Catalog Albums chart in its February 21, 2009 issue.

Chicago Pile 1 was the world's first nuclear reactor, built in 1942 by Nobel Prize winner Enrico Fermi. The reactor was built underneath the University of Chicago's Stagg Field football stadium. On Dec. 2, 1942, Enrico Fermi and 48 of his colleagues succeed in achieving in this reactor the world’s first man-made controlled nuclear chain reaction, thereby establishing the ability of mankind to control the release of nuclear energy. He and other scientists from that group later founded Argonne National Laboratory.

The photograph at right shows a scale model depicting Fermi’s reactor setup on that day in 1942. The model shows a segment of the football stadium and gives a perspective on where the reactor was located under the stands. Fermi and his colleagues were assembled on the balcony to the right to observe the instruments recording the neutron intensity in the pile. After the reactor had sustained the chain reaction for 28 minutes the operators to the right of the reactor (in the left foreground of the photo) pushed in a cadmium control rod called zip, which absorbed neutrons and ended the chain reaction. The reactor fuel was lumps of uranium metal and uranium oxide; these were spaced on a cubic lattice within layers of graphite, with some graphite layers containing only uranium metal pseudospheres, some only uranium oxide pseudospheres, and some containing both. The pile was built by alternating graphite layers seeded with uranium metal and/or uranium oxide with layers of solid graphite blocks. The completed reactor contained 57 layers, which was about one layer beyond the critical stage needed to sustain the chain reaction.
Early in 1943, CP-1 was dismantled and moved to a less-populated site in the "Argonne Forest" section of the Cook County Forest Preserve in Palos Park. That part of the forest has since been renamed, but its appellation survives today in the name of Argonne National Laboratory.

CP-2 (Chicago Pile 2 Reactor)
In early 1943, Chicago Pile 1 was dismantled at the University of Chicago, moved to the Argonne Forest section of the Palos Hills Forest Preserve, and renamed Chicago Pile 2. Click on photo to view a larger image.
In early 1943 Manhattan Engineer District disassembled Chicago Pile 1 and rebuilt it at Palos Park, IL, as Chicago Pile 2. CP-2 had a thermal- power level of 10 kW. The fuel for CP-2 was natural uranium (uranium in which the natural abundance of the isotopes uranium-234, uranium-235, and uranium-238 has not been altered). A small laboratory atop the 14,000-ton reactor provided space for limited experiments using neutrons from the reactor's core. The reactor's face contained ports through which materials could be inserted into the core for irradiation.

CP-3 (Chicago Pile 3 Reactor)
The Chicago Pile-3 reactor. Click on photo to view a larger image.
Chicago Pile 3 was the world's first "heavy-water moderated" reactor. It was designed by Eugene Wigner; at Enrico Fermi's request, Walter Zinn directed its construction in the Argonne Forest in 1943. Chicago Pile 3 achieved criticality in 1944.
The fuel was, as in the case of the CP-2 reactor , natural uranium. CP-3 was dismantled in January 1950 because of suspected corrosion of the aluminum cladding around some of the fuel rods. The natural uranium fuel in CP-3 was replaced with enriched uranium (uranium in which the amount of uranium-235 in the fuel has been increased from its naturally occurring abundance). The redesigned reactor, named CP-3’ ("CP-3 prime"), became operational in May 1950. CP-3’ shut down in 1954. CP-3 was shared with the Canadians, who used it in the design of the Canadian NRX reactor, from which the 27 CANDU commercial power reactors evolved.
Research programs conducted at CP-3 and CP-3’ included reactor physics studies, fission product separations, tritium recovery from irradiated lithium, and studies of radionuclide metabolism in laboratory animals.

Forty-nine people were present in a converted squash court at the University of Chicago's abandoned Stagg Field on Dec. 2, 1942, when Chicago Pile 1, the world's first nuclear reactor went critical. To celebrate their success, Eugene Wigner opened a bottle of Chianti he had purchased months before in anticipation of the event. The group silently sipped Chianti from paper cups, then passed the bottle around and signed the straw wrapping. The list contains the names of everyone present at the squash court during the historical experiment, which was led by Enrico Fermi. Many of them signed the list at a 20th-anniversary reunion.

Argonne-West
Argonne-West was an Idaho site that Argonne National laboratory operated from Aug. 23, 1949, until February 1, 2005, when the U.S. Department of Energy merged Argonne-West and the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory to create Idaho National Laboratory. Argonne-West was Argonne's primary site for testing and demonstrating advanced nuclear reactor components and designs. The site hosted many unique facilities that contributed to the nation's nuclear power development program. • The silver dome in the photo is Experimental Breeder Reactor II. It was originally built to demonstrate a complete breeder-reactor power plant with on-site reprocessing of metallic fuel; this was successfully done from 1964 to 1969. The facility was then converted from a breeder to a burner reactor and given new missions that emphasized testing fuels and materials for larger, liquid-metal-cooled reactors. It became the prototype for the Integral Fast Reactor, successfully demonstrating the inherent safety of a nuclear reactor fueled by metallic alloy and cooled by a pool of liquid sodium. • The sliver structure with the flat top and sloping sides is the Zero-Power Plutonium Reactor (ZPPR), a "split-core" research reactor. Its core could be separated into two halves, each with an array of drawers that could be loaded with various fuels and other materials to simulate different reactor core designs. When the core halves were brought together, the reactor went critical and researchers could assess the performance of various core designs. • The brown box-like structure behind ZPPR is the Hot Fuel Examination Facility. HFEF is still operating and is a hot-cell complex with 15 separate hot cell workstations where highly radioactive materials can be safely examined using master-slave manipulators.

Amnesty International - History
Amnesty International was founded in 1961 by Peter Benenson, a British lawyer. It was originally his intention to launch an appeal in Britain with the aim of obtaining an amnesty for prisoners of conscience all over the world. The committee working for this cause soon found that a detailed documentation of this category of prisoners would be needed. Gradually they realized that the work would have to be carried out on a more permanent basis; the number of prisoners of conscience was enormous and they were to be found in every part of the world.
Amnesty International is a world-embracing movement working for the protection of human rights. It is independent of all governments and is neutral in its relation to political groups, ideologies and religious dividing lines. The movement works for the release of women and men who have been arrested for their convictions, the colour of their skin, their ethnic origin or their faith - provided that they have not themselves used force or exhorted others to resort to violence. It is this category of prisoners that Amnesty International calls "prisoners of conscience". The movement proclaimed 1977 "Prisoners of Conscience Year" and collected signatures for an appeal addressed to the General Assembly of the United Nations.
To begin with, Amnesty International was a British organization, but in 1963 an international secretariat was established. Seán Mac Bride - later awarded the Nobel peace prize - became chairman of the organization in 1963, at a time when Amnesty International was rapidly expanding. Ten years after its foundation the organization comprised more than 1000 voluntary groups in 28 countries and the figures are steadily rising. In February this year (1977) there were 1874 groups in 33 countries. The present chairman of Amnesty International is the Swede Thomas Hammarberg.
In addition to its work for the prisoners of conscience - "the forgotten prisoners" - Amnesty International has also carried on campaigns against torture and ill-treatment as well as - in recent years - against capital punishment. In the statutes adopted by the organization in 1974 these three tasks are named as the most important ones for Amnesty International.

A Light in the Darkness
Amnesty International is a worldwide human rights organization run by its members. It is independent of all governments and all financial players. It is also independent of political convictions and religious faiths.
Amnesty International uncovers the facts about violations and breaches of human rights. The issues may concern individuals or conditions within a particular state, but the organization also pursues various themes, such as the death penalty. Results are published in special reports. Amnesty's members organize targeted action and campaigns to bring an end to violations.
Amnesty International was founded in 1961 by the British lawyer Peter Benenson. He got the idea for the organization's logo - the lit candle surrounded by barbed wire - from a Chinese proverb,"It is better to light a light than to curse the darkness".

The 100 best novels, No 3 – Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift (1726)
Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels comes third in our list of the best novels written in English. Robert McCrum discusses a satirical masterpiece that’s never been out of print

Seven years after the publication of Robinson Crusoe , the great Tory essayist and poet Jonathan Swift – inspired by the Scriblerus club, whose members included John Gay and Alexander Pope – composed a satire on travel narratives that became an immediate bestseller. According to Gay, Gulliver was soon being read “from the cabinet council to the nursery”.
In its afterlife as a classic, Gulliver’s Travels works on many levels. First, it’s a masterpiece of sustained and savage indignation, “furious, raging, obscene”, according to Thackeray . Swift’s satirical fury is directed against almost every aspect of early 18th-century life: science, society, commerce and politics. Second, stripped of Swift’s dark vision, it becomes a wonderful travel fantasy for children, a perennial favourite that continues to inspire countless versions, in books and films. Finally, as a polemical tour de force, full of wild imagination, it became a source for Voltaire, as well as the inspiration for a Telemann violin suite, Philip K Dick’s science-fiction story The Prize Ship , and, perhaps most influential of all, George Orwell’s Animal Farm.
Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World by Lemuel Gulliver (to give its original title) comes in four parts, and opens with Gulliver’s shipwreck on the island of Lilliput, whose inhabitant are just six inches high. The most famous and familiar part of the book (“Lilliputian” soon became part of the language) is a satirical romp in which Swift takes some memorable shots at English political parties and their antics, especially the controversy on the matter of whether boiled eggs should be opened at the big or the little end.
Next, Gulliver’s ship, the Adventure, gets blown off course and he is abandoned on Brobdingnag whose inhabitants are giants with a proportionately gigantic landscape. Here, having been dominant on Lilliput, Gulliver is exhibited as a curious midget, and has a number of local dramas such as fighting giant wasps. He also gets to discuss the condition of Europe with the King, who concludes with Swiftian venom that “the bulk of your natives [are] the most pernicious race of odious little vermin that Nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth.”
In the third part of his travels, Gulliver visits the flying island of Laputa (a place-name also referenced in Stanley Kubrick’s film Dr Strangelove ), and Swift mounts a dark and complicated assault on the speculations of contemporary science (notably spoofing the attempted extraction of sunbeams from cucumbers). Finally, in the section that influenced Orwell (Gulliver’s Travels was one of his favourite books), Swift describes the country of the Houyhnhnms, horses with the qualities of rational men. These he contrasts with the loathsome Yahoos, brutes in human shape. Orwell would later echo Swift’s misanthropy, looking ahead to a time “when the human race had finally been overthrown.”
At the end of it all, Gulliver returns home from his travels in a state of alienated wisdom, purged and matured by his experiences. “I write,” he concludes, “for the noblest end, to inform and instruct mankind… I write without any view to profit or praise. I never suffer a word to pass that may possibly give the least offence, even to those who are most ready to take it. So that I hope I may with justice pronounce myself an author perfectly blameless…”
When he died in 1745, Swift, remembered as “the gloomy Dean”, was buried in Dublin with the famous epitaph “ubi saeva indignatio ulterius cor lacerare nequit” (where fierce indignation can no further tear apart his heart) inscribed on his tomb.
A note on the text:
Swift probably started writing Gulliver’s Travels in 1720 (when Crusoe fever was at it height), and delivered the manuscript to the London publisher Benjamin Motte in March 1726. The book was published, anonymously, at top speed. Motte, who sensed a bestseller, used several presses to foil any attempt at piracy, and made many cuts to reduce the risk of prosecution. The first edition appeared, in two volumes, on 26 October 1726, priced 8s 6d, and sold out its first printing in less than a week. In 1735 the Irish publisher, George Faulkner printed a collection of Swift’s works. Volume III became Gulliver’s Travels, based on a working copy of the original manuscript. The textual history of Gulliver’s Travelsnow becomes incredibly complicated, and Swift later disowned most versions, including Motte’s first edition, saying it was so much altered that “I do hardly know mine own work”. Later scholarly editions of Swift have to choose between Motte and Faulkner, but whatever the version it has never been out of print since the day it first appeared.

In February 1935, Wallace H. Carothers first produced which synthetic material? | Gulliver's Travels What's Up With the Title?
NEXT
In this day and age, we call this novel Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift. But back in the day it was called Travels Into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts by Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, then a Captain of Several Ships. And, man, this book was explosive – a clear attack on both the king of England, George I, and on the Whig government (check out "In a Nutshell" and our "Character Analysis" of the Lilliputians for more on that). There was no way Jonathan Swift was going to attach his name to the novel's first edition, even though it became a huge bestseller. After all, he didn't want to be arrested. So, the 1726 edition of Gulliver's Travels is anonymous and claims to be written by its main character, "Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, then a Captain of Several Ships." Now, of course, we just call it Gulliver's Travels for short – with no mention of Lemuel Gulliver's supposed authorship except in the lengthy official title.
The most significant thing about the name of this book is clearly the Travels, which appears in both the short and official titles. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, England was one of the world's centers of sailing, navigation, and exploration. Accounts of distant lands had grown more and more widespread, so much so that this kind of story became a model for arguably the first popular novel in English, Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (1719). Swift adapts the form of these adventure narratives to give his harsh view of both England and human nature. This makes Gulliver's Travels a satire, or an ironic narrative in which human weakness is held up for readers to mock. On top of that, the novel is also a parody, or a piece that imitates and makes fun of another style (in this case, the adventure story).

A mustang is what type of creature? | National Mustang Association
What is a Mustang?
The term "Mustang" refers to the wild horses that roam the ranges of the western United States. The Mustang is not a breed but rather a mixture of many breeds that have co-mingled over many years. Swift, sure-footed, tough, and intelligent, Mustangs weigh from 600 to 1000 pounds and are well suited for the rugged conditions of life on the western ranges.
These wild horses are descendants of animals that escaped from or were released by Spanish explorers, ranchers, miners, soldiers, and Native Americans. In the mid-seventeenth century they numbered between two and four million. Today, only about 50,000 survive. This drastic reduction in their numbers was due in part to the "mustangers" who rounded up wild horses and sent them to slaughter.
After a nationwide grassroots effort to protect these magnificent creatures, Congress passed the Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act in 1971 which states: "..wild free roaming horses..are living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West; they contribute to the diversity of life forms within the nation and enrich the lives of the American people".
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior that administers 264 million acres of public lands, was entrusted with the responsibility of preserving and managing the wild horse herds to maintain an ecological balance between wild horse hers to maintain an ecological balance between wild horses, native wildlife and domestic animals grazing on western public lands.
Wild Horse Issues
But with so many millions of acres of public lands under its jurisdiction, the BLM needs assistance from private citizens and organizations to monitor the well-being of the wild horse herds and the rangeland they inhabit. For example, over the last thirty years many environmental changes have occurred that have adversely affected wild horse habitat.
In addition, the rangelands where Mustangs roam free have come under heavy attack by some who feel their personal survival is threatened as well as those who feel the wild horse is interfering with the grazing 'rights' of other types of animals on those same lands.
Report after report tells gruesome stories of wild horses that have been found dead. Some of these animals were shot, others poisoned, and still others died from thirst or starvation. Many experienced slow, agonizing deaths. This wanton slaughter and destruction of a national resource cannot be allowed to continue.

Road Test
Ford SVT Mustang Cobra R
The fastest Mustang ever, but if you haven�t ordered one, it�s already too late.
Apr 2000
TWEET
"Nice, eh?" asks John Coletti, Ford Special Vehicle Engineering manager, who headed up the team that created the 2000 Ford SVT Mustang Cobra R we're driving on a rural Texas road that is not quite gravel, not quite blacktop.
We're loping along in fourth gear at maybe 50 mph, and the absolute lack of any sort of undercoating or sound deadening in the fender wells to muffle the thrown-up gravel makes it sound as though we're under attack by a battalion armed with Daisy BB guns.
Coletti -- whom you met as the spiritual father of the big-block Mustang that battled the big-block Chevrolet Camaro built by Coletti's approximate bow-tie counterpart, Jon Moss, in our January 2000 cover story -- likes that sound of gravel-in-the-wheel-wells because it suggests one thing: If it doesn't make the car go faster, it probably isn't part of the Cobra R. Sound deadening does not make the car go faster. It is likely Coletti required some engineer to make a case as to whether equipment such as windshield wipers and door locks was really necessary.
It was, he decided. Air conditioning was not. A stereo? Nope. Rear seats? Forget it.
The Cobra R is built to go, turn, and stop fast, evident from the statistics: a 175-mph (drag limited) top speed, a quarter-mile time of 13.2 seconds at 110 mph, 1.02 g of grip on the skidpad, braking from 70 mph to 0 in 160 feet.
Fast cars are expensive, typically, and the Cobra R qualifies there, too: $55,845. SVT will build just 300 for model year 2000, with no present plans for a 2001 model. If your order hasn't already been accepted for delivery, which begins this month to SVT dealers selected through a lottery, most likely you're too late.
The 2000 Cobra R is the third such iteration. The 1993 Cobra R was a tentative, mildly successful step toward a very limited-edition performance Mustang, with just 109 built. Next came 250 copies of the 1995 Cobra R, a more fully realized effort; as tested in the April 1995 issue, our refrigerator-white cover car, with its 300-hp, 5.8-liter pushrod V-8, managed a top speed of 151 mph, quarter-mile performance of 14.0 seconds at 99 mph, 0.89 g on the skidpad, and 70-to-0-mph braking of 165 feet.
Excellent numbers even today. "We have a simple rule of thumb for when it's time to develop a new Cobra R," Coletti says. "First, when there's a need, and second, when the new one will be able to outshine the old one by far." The 2000 model does, at a price about $20,000 more than the 1995 Cobra R.
The exterior of the 2000 Cobra R differs more from the stock Mustang Cobra than the 1995 Cobra R did. The new version has a massive, functional (but nonadjustable) rear wing, a huge front spoiler, and an air splitter that mounts to the car's nose using Dzus fasteners. SVT quietly recommends mounting that splitter only for show or for road-race competition -- the car is delivered with it unattached and wrapped in plastic -- because the first time you get close to a curb you'll wipe out that splitter.
Beneath the body -- painted any color you want as long as it's Performance Red, with a Dark Charcoal interior -- the changes are massive. Inside the cockpit, there are nearly perfect Recaro buckets up front and, as noted, no rear seats. There are dual airbags, a tilting steering wheel, a 180-mph speedometer, and some power-operated features such as outside mirrors, windows, and locks, and a trunk release. The interior is basic, sure, but it doesn't look as bare-bones as you'd expect.
The B&M Ripper shifter connects to a Tremec T-56 six-speed manual transmission. Working our way forward, we find a beefy 11-inch single-disc clutch, an aluminum flywheel, and then the engine: a breathed-on, naturally aspirated 5.4-liter V-8 that pumps out 385 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque.
The standard Mustang Cobra has the 5.4-liter Triton's smaller cousin, the 4.6-liter V-8, which is rated at 320 hp. But regular readers may recall our shootout (August 1999) that pitted a 1999 Cobra convertible against a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am and a Camaro SS. We were disappointed in the performance of the Cobra, and when we showed SVT our test results, it did some reconnaissance work and found that some of the Cobra engines departed the factory with less than 320 horsepower, due mostly to an improperly finished intake and too-restrictive mufflers.

How Hot is That Pepper? How Scientists Measure Spiciness
How does the Scoville Scale rate the relative spiciness of a chili pepper?
By Twilight Greenaway
The Gut-Wrenching Science Behind the World’s Hottest Peppers
Photo by Katte Belletje.
In 2007, the Naga Bhut Joloki or “Ghost chile” was named the hottest pepper on earth. Then in 2010 the Naga Viper stole the title. And in 2012 the Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Blend moved into the lead. And for good reason.
The Scorpion ranks at round 2 million heat units on the Scoville scale . (For comparison, tabasco sauce has 2,500–5,000 Scoville heat units or SHU.) What exactly does that mean? When the scale was invented in 1912 by pharmacist Wilbur Scoville in search of a heat-producing ointment, it was based on human taste buds. The idea was to dilute an alcohol-based extract made with the given pepper until it no longer tasted hot to a group of taste testers. The degree of dilution translates to the SHU. In other words, according to the Scoville scale, you would need as many as 5,000 cups of water to dilute 1 cup of tobacco sauce enough to no longer taste the heat.
And while the Scoville scale is still widely used, says Dr. Paul Bosland , professor of horticulture at New Mexico State University and author or several books on chile peppers, it no longer relies on the fallible human taste bud.
“It’s easy to get what’s called taster’s fatigue,” says Bosland. “Pretty soon your receptors are worn out or overused, and you can’t taste anymore. So over the years, we’ve devised a system where we used what’s called high performance liquid chromatography.”

That’s a fancy way of saying that scientists are now able to determine how many parts per million of heat-causing alkaloids are present in a given chile pepper. The same scientists have also figured out that if they multiply that number by 16, they’ll arrive at the pepper’s Scoville rating (or “close enough for the industry,” says Bosland).
And, let’s face it, who would want to be the one to taste test a pepper named after a viper or a scorpion? Or maybe the better question is what sane person would? The BBC recently reported on the first man to finish an entire portion of a curry made with ghost chiles, called “The Widower,” and he suffered actual hallucinations due to the heat. Bosland told the AP in 2007 he thought the ghost chile had been given it’s name “because the chili is so hot, you give up the ghost when you eat it.” How’s that for inviting?
Indeed, the capsaicin , the spicy chemical compound found in chiles demands the diner’s attention much like actual heat heat does. And it turns out there’s science behind that similarity. “The same receptor that says ‘hot coffee’ to your brain is telling you ‘hot chile peppers,’” says Bosland.
And what about the rumor that very hot peppers have the potential to damage our taste buds? Not true. Bosland says we should think of chile heat like we do the taste of salt; easy to overdo in the moment, but not damaging to your mouth over the long term. Even the hottest habanero (100,000–350,000 on the Scoville scale), which can stay on your palate for hours — if not days – won’t wear out your tender buds.
NMSU photo by Harrison Brooks
Bosland and his colleagues have broken the heat profile of chile peppers into five distinctly different characteristics. 1) how hot it is, 2) how fast the heat comes on, 3) whether it linger or dissipates quickly, 4) where you sense the heat – on the tip of tongue, at the back of throat, etc., and 5) whether the heat registers as “flat” or “sharp.”
This last characteristic is fascinating for what it says about cultural chile pepper preferences (say that five times fast). Apparently those raised in Asian cultures — where chile heat has been considered one of the six core tastes for thousands of years — prefer sharp heat that feels like pinpricks but dissipates quickly. Most Americans, on the other hand, like a flat, sustained heat that feels almost like it’s been painted on with a brush.
The Chile Pepper Institute , which is affiliated with New Mexico State University, sells a nifty chile tasting wheel , which describes the heat and flavor profiles of many different chiles and offers advise on how to cook them.
Eating chiles is a little like tasting wine, says Bosland. “When you first drink wine, all you notice is the alcohol. Then you can tell red from white, and soon you can taste the difference between the varietals. Eventually you can tell what region the wine comes from. That’s how it is with chile peppers too. At first all you taste is heat, but soon you’re be able to tell which heat sensations you like best.”

Measuring Chilli Heat
Are You Really That Tough?
For some time now there has been intense competition in finding and eating hotter and hotter Chillies. Maybe it's a test of status, maybe the test of a real man, or maybe even just a personal satisfaction of having tamed a beast of a fruit and it's fire!
Whatever the reason for eating Chillies, there has always been a need for assessing the heat value that a Chilli actually has. This scale is called The Scoville Scale, after it's inventor, and you will find a list ranging from Zero to Atomic.
Measuring The Heat of Chillies
In 1912, The American Chemist Wilbur Scoville developed a method to rate the heat that is a Chilli Pepper is able to produce. This was possible because the chemical compound resposible for the heat felt in Chillies can be measured and used to give certain pungency values to a variety of different Chillies.
As you will know from tasting Chillies yourself, clearly there are some big differences in the heat felt by eating different types of Chilli, but the difference between the heats is often quite large and difficult to rate by taste buds alone.
A common misconception is that Chillies actually produce heat when they are eaten, causing the intense burning as part of a chemical reaction - However the actual way Chillies work is very different...
The fruits of the Capsicum genus of Chillies contain a chemical compound called Capsaicin, which stimulates nerve endings located in the skin called chemoreceptors. These receptors are particularly found in the mucous membranes, which explains why you get a running nose and temporary relief from a cold after a hot curry!
Interestingly Chillies also provide effective pain relief from colds and the flu - Click for more on the Health Benefits of Eating Chillies .
The Discoveries of Wilbur Scoville and His Scale
The units of measurement used in giving ratings to Chillies and their heat are called Scoville Heat Units (SHU), after the name of the inventor. Some Chilli Sauce Manufacturers use this rating as a selling point, or to give customers a better idea of what to expect.
The method Scoville developed involved preparing a solution of the Chilli extract, and diluting this extract with sugar water until the "heat" is no longer detectable by a panel of around 5 tasters.
The number of times needed to dilute the solution before the "heat" was no longer detectable formed the basis of the Scoville rating. For example, Bell Peppers or Sweet Peppers have a Scoville rating of Zero as they do not contain the chemical compound Capsaicin, which causes the burning effects.
On the other end of the scale, some of the hottest Chillies in the world, for example the Habanero Varieties, had to be diluted in solution over 200,000 times before the heat was no longer detectable!
The Scoville Organoleptic Test, as it is known, did have a few problems. The test itself relied on the panel of tasters, and of course each would have their own varying sensitivity to Chilli products, based on many unaccountable factors. Another problemm with this method was the time it would take to produce these individual dilutions, especially at the higher end of the Chilli Scales.
Alternative and Current Testing Methods
Today, the results of Chilli testing are recorded in ASTA Pungency Units, which is a measurement of a Chillie's relative capacity to produce a sensation of heat.
This method of testing is faster and more accurate, but without the work of Scoville, a new testing like this might not have been around. Because of this, and the huge familiarity of Scovilles work in developing his infamous scale, the results produced from the new method of testing are converted to Scoville Heat Units.
The method of conversion from these ASTA Pungency Units is quite simple - A recorded measurement of Capsaicin content of a Chilli of 1 part per million (ppm) equates to 15 Scoville units, so a simple multiplication of 15 is all that is needed to make the conversion to Scoville's Scale.
The units produced by this method of testing were consistently around 20-40% less than those produced by the Scoville dilution test.
However, usually this known error can be accounted for in the final figures, and consistent results using both scales can now be acheived.
The Problems With Chilli Heat Testing
Testing Chillies for their heat value does have its inaccuracies.
The problems faced does not really come from the method of testing but from the variation that can be found in nature between Chillies of the same variety.
Soil types, climate, and region can also play a role in this variation in heat, and the difference can often be quite large; sometimes by a factor of 10 or more.
However, this difference can be made smaller by sourcing Chillies that have been grown in their natural environment. The Scoville Scale also organises Chillies with a similar heat value in ranges to overcome this.
Why The Scoville Scale Works
As you can see from the heat ratings on the Scoville Scale Table, although the table itself is a heat leaderboard, it also has a estimated range of heat values between closely connected groups of chillies, so in effect, the table acts as a great reference when planning a meal or looking for something different.
In essence, this arrangement of values is very useful and provides some interesting insight into the world of Chillies and their heat.

Which British boxer bought one of the original ‘Only Fools and Horses’ Reliant Robins in 2004? | Del Boy and Rodney - Who is talking about Del Boy and Rodney on FLICKR
1970 Reliant Regal Supervan 3
Royal Mail Livery
In 1935 Reliant started by making three-wheeled vans but added a passenger car to its range in 1952, the first Regal. Initially using aluminium panels over a wooden body frame, from 1955 Regal bodies were made from glass fibre reinforced plastic. The most significant advance came in 1962 with the Regal 3/25. The 3/25 was a monocoque construction, made entirely from glass fibre and its new Reliant 600cc engine was the first all-aluminium engine in a UK series production car and later increased to 700cc.
It was the van version of the Regal, which made the model infamous. A yellow Supervan II was immortalised as Del-Boy and Rodney Trotter's delivery van of choice in the long-running BBC TV comedy series, Only Fools and Horses.
For the average car buyer, the Regal offered advantages in low running costs, good economy and lower vehicle tax, as well as being able to be driven by people with a motorcycle licence. When the Morris Minor Van was reaching the last days of its production, the Post Office investigated a number of models as a replacement for its fleet of delivery vans. In 1970, 50 Regal Supervan III's entered service with the Royal Mail on a trial basis, although the model was not selected as the Minor's eventual successor.
Engine: 4cyl, 700cc

Several versions of this three-wheeler fibreglass-bodied car were produced in Tamworth between 1973 and 2000, and they were popular as they were cheap to buy and run, and could be taxed at mortorcycle rates. This is a late 1990s Mark 2 model; an earlier Mark 1 version was famous as Del Boy and Rodney's motor in the sitcom "Only Fools & Horses".
A 2011 survey showed that statistically Reliant Robin owners were Britain's safest drivers.

ENG2014 - The iconic Reliant Regal 21E
The Reliant Regal was a small three-wheeled car manufactured from 1953 until 1973 by the Reliant Motor Company in Tamworth, England, replacing the earlier Reliant Regent cyclecar van. It was a three-wheeled vehicle, therefore under UK licensing it was considered a tricycle. Due to the lightweight construction, under seven cwt, the vehicle could[when?] be driven on a motorcycle licence in the United Kingdom. A light-commercial version with a side-hinged rear door was marketed as the Reliant Supervan.
Following the launch of the Mk I in 1953, the Regal passed through many revisions in a short period, with the "first generation" using the original wooden frame and discrete-panel bodywork design through to the 1961 Mk VI.
In 1962, Reliant introduced the Mk VII,[3] code named "TW7" (Three Wheeler 7). This version featured a new OHV Reliant engine, a new steel chassis and bonded shell design for the body, fully updated visual styling, and was badged as the Regal 3/25, Regal 3/30 (number of wheels/bhp), Regal 21E or Regal 21E 700. The 600cc engine produced 25 bhp (actually 598cc/24 bhp) and the 700cc engine produced 30 bhp (actually 701cc / 29 bhp). The 21E version was fitted with 21 extras, which were otherwise available as optional extras to the standard car. These extras included a spot light, a fog light, chrome plated bumper over-riders, sun visors, an oil gauge, outer wheel trims and metallic paint. In 1973, the Regal was replaced by the Reliant Robin (code named "TW8").
Regals MkI-MkVI had aluminium bodies and 747cc side-valve engines. However, during the 1950s, the price of aluminium increased markedly across Europe. In response, Reliant developed an expertise in making panels of glass fibre which piece by piece replaced the aluminium panels, until the 1956 Mark 3 Regal featured a wholly glass fibre body.[4] Unlike Panhard, who responded to the increased cost of aluminium by substituting heavier steel panels, Reliant's choice of the glass fibre technology ensured that the Regal was able to retain its advantageous light weight, with the resulting ability to use smaller, lower powered and therefore cheaper and more economical engines. The Regal Mk VI was the last Regal to be powered by a side-valve engine, as by 1962 Reliant had developed their own all aluminium 600 cc OHV engine that was fitted into the new Regal 3/25.
The Regal 3/25 version was introduced in October 1962 and unlike previous Regals, this no longer had a wooden frame and instead had a unitary construction body of reinforced fibreglass. Fibreglass was moulded in two major units (outer and inner) and then bonded together and bolted to a steel chassis. Meanwhile, on 25 April 1968, a year before BMC celebrated their 2,000,000th Mini Reliant sales director T.H.Scott personally drove the 50,000th Regal 3/25 off the assembly line at Reliant's Tamworth plant.
A few months later, in August 1968, the 701 cc engine introduced in the Reliant Rebel the previous Autumn found its way into the Regal. For the three-wheeler, the compression ratio was lowered to 7.5:1, reducing the power to a claimed 29.5 bhp from the Rebel's 35 bhp.[6] Nevertheless, this still represented a useful increase over the 26 bhp claimed for the 600 cc unit which the 701 replaced.
Reliant Regals and Robins enjoy something of a special place in British culture as symbols of British eccentricity. An example of a Reliant is the iconic van belonging to Del Boy and Rodney Trotter in the long-running BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses. The van is frequently, and incorrectly, referred to as a Robin, but is actually a Regal Supervan. The Trotters' original van is now on display in the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, while one of two 'back-up' vans was sold in 2007 for over £44,000 to British boxer Ricky Hatton. Copies of this iconic van appear for sale on auction websites.
In another TV comedy, Mr. Bean, a running gag in the series involves the titular character played by British comedian Rowan Atkinson frequently coming into conflict with a light blue Reliant Regal Supervan III, which gets tipped over, crashed into, or bumped out of its parking space.
A red Supervan appeared in the S4C Welsh language children's programme "Fan Goch".
The 2011 Disney film Cars 2 features a French character named Tomber who is patterned on a Reliant Regal saloon car, with some creative modifications, such as the headlights of a DS. His name means "to fall" in French, referencing the reputed instability of three-wheel vehicles.
A Reliant Regal is shown in the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics with it falling apart and Batman and Robin coming out of it, a plot that appeared in an episode of the long-running BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses (Wikipedia).

Prospect of Whitby
The Prospect of Whitby is a historic public house on the banks of the Thames at Wapping in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It lays claim to being the site of the oldest riverside tavern, dating from around 1520. It was formerly known as the Devil’s Tavern, on account of its dubious reputation. Before that it was officially called "The Pelican". All that remains from the building’s earliest period is the 400 year old stone floor. In former times it was a meeting place for sailors, smugglers, cut-throats and footpads. Sir Hugh Willoughby sailed from here in 1533 in a disastrous attempt to discover the North-East Passage to China.
In the 17th century, it became the hostelry of choice of "Hanging" Judge Jeffreys, scourge of the Monmouth Rebellion. He lived nearby and a noose hangs by a window, commemorating his custom. He was chased by anti-Royalists into the nearby Town of Ramsgate, captured and taken to the Tower for his own safety. According to legend, criminals would be tied up to the posts at low tide and left there to drown when the tide came in. Execution Dock was actually by Wapping Old Stairs and generally used for pirates.[1]
Views from the pub were sketched by both Turner and Whistler. Writers Charles Dickens and Samuel Pepys are known to have paused to sup here.[1]
Following a fire in the early 19th century, the tavern was rebuilt and renamed The Prospect of Whitby, after a Tyne collier that used to berth next to the pub. The Prospect was listed Grade II in December 1950.[2]
The Prospect of Whitby, street view
On the opposite side of the road (Wapping Wall) is the Wapping Hydraulic Power Station, now an arts centre and restaurant.
The public house features briefly in an episode of Only Fools And Horses. When Uncle Albert goes missing in one episode, Del Boy and Rodney travel around London looking for him. Nicholas Lyndhurst is shown in one scene walking out of the pub. There is also a scene from the 1956 film D-Day the Sixth of June starring Robert Taylor and Richard Todd where Taylor's character is seen with Dana Wynter's character having drinks together during the Second World War in London.
In the comic book The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Mina Harker pauses in front of the public house and says it brings back memories. She is referring to the beaching of the Demeter at Whitby in the novel Dracula.
This pub is also featured in Vercors's novel Les Animaux dénaturés (translated variously into English as You Shall Know Them, Borderline, and The Murder of the Missing Link).

The room despite the Chandelier was very dimly lit and I've done a bit of tweaking and converted it to black and white.
Every time I go into this room, I have visions of Del Boy and Rodney upstairs.

It is of course the Reliant Regal van driven by Del Boy and Rodney in the BBC sitcom Only Fools & Horses which broadcast between 1981 and 2003.
Only Fools & Horses has also had a couple of spin offs, those being the dreadful Green Green Grass, and the interesting Rock & Chips.

It's that classic image of the Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder, Batman and Robin, running through the twighlight to th escene of a crime. This could always be seen on the TV show, in the cartoon at during the credits/title sequence.
It also reminds me of the great Only Fools and Horses episode where Del Boy and Rodney went to a wake in fancy dress. Their car broke down and the had to run to the "party" through the back streets.. A classic moment in British comedy!

Erected in 1920, the scenic railway in Dreamland fun park, Margate, Kent is the UK's oldest wooden rollercoaster. Yesterday (07.04.08), the grade two listed building was on flames.
One of the top comedy shows on British Television was that of 'Only Fools and Horses' with Del Boy and Rodney, (David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst) travelling to Margate and with clips, actually ride on the scenic railway.
Taken from a nearby Car Park, the scenic railway can be seen smoldering from the extensive fire damage caused by what is believed to be arson. Before now, the Theme Park was deserted leaving just the Scenic railway with talks from the local council and owner to try to revive the Park back to life again. Now talks will be in place whether or not to rebuild the ride.
The fire is believed to have damaged up to and possibly more than 50% of the Scenic Railway, with parts of the track collapsed. Reports state that up to 70 Firefighters were at the scene to tackle the blaze.
Please visit the links below for information about the Scenic Railway or Dreamland Fun Park.
| Ricky Hatton |
John Sentamu was given which English title in May 2005? | Top Speed: 55mph (88kmh)
As Europe started to recover from the Second World War there arose a demand for economy cars - small, cheap to buy and run and practical transport for families. The pattern established by the Volkswagen Beetle, with its rear mounted air-cooled engine, was very influential in mainland Europe and this pattern was followed in 1957 with Fiat's stylish 'Nuova 500'
It was originally fitted with a 479cc motor that was too underpowered even for a car as small as this one, but the boosted 499cc that arrived in 1965 turned it into a nippy and immensely popular (nearly 4,000,000 built) 'people's car' that was produced until 1975.
Steve's beautiful example lived in London most of its life before he brought it here and carried out some re-commissioning work. Its colour has given rise to his youngest daughter nicknaming it 'the Salt Bin', after the rock salt containers positioned around the Island's roads!
Morris Mini Traveller and Austin Mini Countryman (1961-1969 )
Austin Mini Countryman
Two-door estate cars with double "barn"-style rear doors. Both were built on a slightly longer chassis of 84 inches (2.1 m) compared to 80.25 inches (2.038 m) for the saloon.
The luxury models had decorative, non-structural wood inserts in the rear body which gave the car a similar appearance to the larger Morris Minor Traveller which had some of the look of an American-style 1950s woodie Approximately 108,000 Austin Mini Countrymen and 99,000 Morris Mini Travellers were built.
Steve's vehicle is a MK 1, 1966 car that came from the Leicestershire area, firstly owned by a village Doctors wife before being passed on to a retired Headmaster in the next village.
1969 Morris Minor Traveller
The Minor Traveller was introduced in 1954 as a Series II model. The unit construction floor and "cab" section was built at the main Morris plant at Cowley, and then shipped to the MG factory at Abingdon to be fitted with the wood and aluminium rear "doghouse" structure.
. MG was just phasing out the wood frame bodied, TF to make way for the all steel MGA and their fully staffed wood shop was just the ticket for the Traveller woodwork.
Always popular, the woodies were built beside the trucks until the end of production in 1971.
1969 Reliant Regal Van
The Regal 3/25 version was introduced in October 1962 and unlike previous Regals, this no longer had a wooden frame and instead had a unitary construction body of reinforced fibreglass. Fibreglass was moulded in two major units (outer and inner) and then bonded together and bolted to a steel chassis. Meanwhile, on 25 April 1968, a year before BMC celebrated their 2,000,000th Mini, Reliant sales director T.H.Scott personally drove the 50,000th Regal 3/25 off the assembly line at Reliant's Tamworth plant.
Reliant Regals and Robins enjoy something of a special place in British culture as symbols of British eccentricity. An example of a Reliant is the iconic van belonging to Del Boy and Rodney Trotter in the long-running BBC sitcom Only Fools and horses. The van is frequently, and incorrectly, referred to as a Robin, but is actually a Regal Supervan. The Trotters' original van is now on display in the National Motor Museum Beaulieu, while one of two 'back-up' vans was sold in 2007 for over £44,000[7] to British boxer Ricky Hatton. Copies of this iconic van appear for sale on auction websites.
Steve's 1969 Regal Van is currently under restoration and will hopefully be on view shortly as another copy of the Only Fools and Horses vehicle.
The Hillman Super Minx
was a motor car from the British Rootes Group It was a slightly larger version of the Hillman Minx from the period when the long-running Minx nameplate was applied to the "Audax" series of designs.
Announced in October 1961, the Super Minx gave Rootes and particularly its Hillman marque an expanded presence in the upper reaches of the family car market. It has been suggested that the Super Minx design was originally intended to replace, and not merely to supplement, the standard Minx, but was found to be too big for that purpose. An estate car joined the range in May 1962,
Steve's 1967 (last year of production) Estate is the later Mk IV version with the larger 1725cc engine. The engine ran on to outlive the Super Minx to be used in later cars produced by the Rootes Group.

In religion, Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, Uriel, Chamuel, Jophiel and Zadkiel are all what? | Archangels
Archangels
Archangels
There are generally considered to be seven Archangels: Michael, Jophiel, Chamuel, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel and Zadkiel. Archangels are the supreme beings within the Angelic Realm. As with angels, Archangels can be called upon to help us in our hour of need. Archangels (and Angels for that matter) are not servants, they should be treated like a welcome friend or guest.
The Archangel Michael: Michael is the Angel of Protection and is associated with the color blue. Michael can be asked for protection against any sort of physical or spiritual danger. These might include robbers, stalkers, accidents, astral attacks, psychic attacks, witchcraft and the evil eye etc. Spiritually the Archangel Michael can help restore your faith in God and free you from self-doubt and fear.
The Archangel Jophiel: Jophiel is the Angel of Illumination and is associated with the color yellow. Jophiel can help free you (or loved ones) from addictions. He can help improve your memory, help you pass examinations etc. Spiritually the Archangel Jophiel can help you to connect to your higher self and show you the right way when difficult decisions need to be made.
The Archangel Chamuel: Chamuel is the Angel of Love and corresponds to the color pink. Chamuel is the angel of compassion, forgiveness, mercy and understanding. This is the angel who can help you repair damaged relationships, or make new friends. Chamuel can help you to dispel feelings of self-condemnation, guilt and low self-esteem.
The Archangel Gabriel: Gabriel is the Angel of Guidance and corresponds to the color white. Gabriel can help you to organize your life as well as provide you with advice and guidance - particularly with education or career. Spiritually Gabriel can help you to find your life's purpose and to replace feelings of discouragement with fulfillment.
The Archangel Raphael: Raphael is the Angel of Healing and is associated with the color green. Raphael is responsible for the healing of body, mind, soul and spirit. He can help put your daily bread on the table. When you are in need of clothing, food or shelter, Raphael is the angel to call upon. Raphael can also help your doctor make the right decision and aspiring musicians make beautiful music. Spiritually Raphael mends broken spirits and helps you accept the truth.
The Archangel Uriel: Uriel is the Angel of Peace and is associated with the colors purple and gold. Uriel resolves all problems in personal, social and professional relationships and helps to create harmony in life. Uriel is the angel of nurses, doctors, counselors and teachers. Spiritually he can help you to let go of bitterness and resentment, renewing hope in the hearts of those that have lost faith. He is also the angel who manifests divine justice.
The Archangel Zadkiel: Zadkiel is the Angel of Joy and is associated with the color violet. Zadkiel is the angel to call upon if you need work as an actor, writer or performer. He is also the angel of architects and engineers. Freedom, happiness, justice and mercy are all championed by Zadkiel.

Crime of the Century, released in 1974, was Supertramp’s breakthrough album & Roger Hodgson's song, Dreamer, became the band’s first international hit. Enjoy this video of Roger discussing the creation of the Crime of the Century album & the recording of his timeless classic, Dreamer. Roger’s other songs off the album, School, Hide in Your Shell & If Everyone Was Listening, are fan favorites to this day. Roger also gave us the timeless classics such as Give a Little Bit, Breakfast in America, The Logical Song, Take the Long Way Home, It's Raining Again, Fool's Overture - Roger performs these & more on tour. Audiences love dancing & singing along - the crowd instantly gets on their feet & starts dancing in the aisles. To see Roger on stage performing, you know not only is the audience having a fantastic time, but he is as well.
Roger co-founded Supertramp in 1969 and was the driving force behind what fans call the 14 golden years of the band. He wrote, sang & arranged the enduring rock standards that made Supertramp a worldwide phenomenon with album sales in excess of 60 million. From the Crime of the Century album forward, Roger & Supertramp’s other co-founder began writing separately. Although they continued to share writing credit, they wrote & composed separately with each singing their own songs. Roger began writing songs at the age of 12 & performed his first concert of original songs at the age of 13. He later recorded some of his songs with Supertramp with many becoming the soundtrack of our lives. http://www.RogerHodgson.com ~ https://www.Facebook.com/RogerHodgson

"No words to describe how wonderful was being down there in the public singing, jumping, dancing & playing with you like everybody was just one single person. I was not born when you wrote your music, but since I was 12 & listened my first Supertramp album, I feel touched by every single music of yours. I'm not only thanking you for the show, but for all your contribution that your music have in our lives."
"Roger gives his heart & thus touches the hearts of his audiences. He comes out on stage & the connection is immediately there - everyone uplifted. You have to experience it, feel it yourself- human language lacks the words to describe it."
"There were smiles. There was joy. There were tears as he sang the songs that helped us through the bad times. The melodies & harmonies can not be replicated except by the master himself.. This, my friends, is the music that connects all of us. It was a dream come true to see him, I suggest all do the same."

The history of Supertramp stretches over three de cades and despite an interruption in the 1990s, the power of their creations still pulled thousands of loyal fans to their concerts in the late 1990s. With eight albums to their credit—one platinum four gold—that generated over $50 million in sales worldwide, the British band secured itself a place in the late 20th century’s gallery of rock legends. Their most successful album, Breakfast in America, sold over 18 million copies worldwide. “Their music—self-dubbed ‘sophisto-rock’—is a carefully arranged, generally medium-tempo amalgam of ethereal art-rock sonorities; power drumming; whiffs of R&B-ish sax; steady jabs of electric piano,” wrote Jon Pareles in Rolling Stone at the peak of Supertramp’s success, “either [Rick] Davies’ bluesy, nasal vocals or Roger Hodgson’s reedy, ingenuous ones; and some of the most tenacious riffs in rock.”
It all began in the late 1960s when 25-year-old Rick Davies, an English drummer for the club band Joint living a modest life in Munich , Germany , made the acquaintance of Stranley August Miesegaes, a young Dutch millionaire who was interested in sponsoring the band. After the Joint dissolved in 1969, Miesegaes, who strongly believed in Davies’ potential, encouraged him first to switch from drums to piano and singing, and then offered financial backing for a band that Davies assembled. Hundreds of musicians showed up to audition in response to Davies’ ad in Melody Maker. One of them was Roger Hodgson, a young man who had just left a private boarding school. He exchanged ideas with Davies during a break and they soon became friends. Davies and Hodgson started out writing songs for the band together. From Supertramp’s third album on, they basically wrote and sang their own songs but shared the credits for them. While blue-collar child Davies’ hallmark was his rather cynical lyrics, the well-educated optimist Hodgson wrote mostly about dreams and aspirations.
Supertramps Never Cried
First named Daddy, the band was soon renamed Supertramp, a name band member Richard Palmer drew from the title of one of his favorite novels. By June 1970, the new band had secured a contract with British A&M. Supertramp’s first albums, Supertramp and Indelibly Stamped, which were recorded in 1970 and 1971 respectively, were commercial failures. As a result, their rich sponsor withdrew his financial support but nevertheless paid the group’s equipment bills totaling some $100,000. However, the band finally fell apart after the second album proved to be a failure. Hodgson and Davies, who had in the meantime become close friends, decided to stay together.
The two remaining “Supertramps” put another group together in 1973. Joining the new band were bassist Dougie Thomson and saxophonist John Heliwell, both former members of the British R&B group Alan Bown. Californian drummer Bob C. Benberg from the popular pub-rock formation Bees Make Honey also joined the band. A&M Records in England gave Supertramp a second chance. They paid a small salary to the band members and the rent on an old English farmhouse, where the band moved with their families and pets. The outcome of this communal living experiment was the material for their next three albums and the re-emergence of Supertramp as “a totally unified force,” as A&M manager Derek Green told Rolling Stone.
Pushed the Limits
Within five years, by the latter half of the 1970s, Supertramp managed to become a top band with an international reputation, and they performed that feat without a frontman, without creating a special image for themselves, and even without much media spectacle. Crime Of The Century, Supertramp’s third album dedicated to their former sponsor, was released in 1974 and became an instant success in England and Canada , led by the debut hit “Dreamer.” “Bloody Well Right,” another song from the album, made it into the American top 40.

In 1975, Supertramp toured the United States for the first time, visiting 25 cities and filling 2000-seat venues. When the tour ended, Supertramp went to Los Angeles to record Crisis? What Crisis? However, the band did not become really popular in America until two years later, with the release of their fifth album Even In The Quietest Moments. “Give a Little Bit,” the album’s first track with it’s catchy acoustic guitar intro became an international hit, although not a major one.
That changed with 1979’s Breakfast In America. Four of its tracks—“The Logical Song,” “Take The Long Way Home,” “Goodbye Stranger,” and the title song—became international top hits. The album was a multi-platinum success. Several songs went to number one in the charts in Europe , Australia and the United States, and the band was able to sell out stadiums. Supertramp’s live show lasted over two hours. Superior sound combined with films, slides and a computer-controlled light show were given priority over the individuals in the band. This perfectionism, with Hodgson its main driving force, caused critics to complain about the band’s overly polished sound. However, a rawer edge was added when their roadies joined them on stage as the Trampettes to sing falsetto backup for the tune “Hide in Your Shell.” A live album recorded at a November 1979 show in Paris before some 8,000 people was released in 1980.
Never Gave Up
Famous Last Words, Supertramp’s next studio album, was released three years after Breakfast in America, in 1982. David Fricke’s review for Rolling Stone described its content as “light, glistening melodies … cushioned like crown jewels in rich, sensuous arrangements,” but at the same time noted a “sense of emotional helplessness and blasé surrender at the heart of these songs.” The album’s title became the band’s fate. Unhappy with the heavy blues influence, founding member Roger Hodgson left one year after its release, and Rick Davis took over the song-writing and singing. Brother Where You Bound from 1985 was dominated by R&B schemes and featured Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour on the title track. The 1987 album Free as a Bird with its brassier, pop oriented sound was the band’s last studio recording of the 1980s. After a tour in 1988, the group only performed occasionally together.
Some Things Never Change, Supertramp’s first studio album in ten years, was released in 1997. Produced with the help of studio musicians from Los Angeles, the album kept the slow pace typical for Supertramp, but with a stronger emphasis on jazz elements. Their 1997 world tour which brought them to the United States again was well covered by the media. But—as Ernesto Lechner noted in a concert review for the Los Angeles Time—the American audience was not impressed by the new songs, even if they were supported visually by computer-generated images. Only when Davis sang the good old pieces, did people start moving. “The night belonged to Davis, who filled the songs with such passion that they didn’t seem a touch dated,” wrote Lechner. This is proved by their still huge and loyal fan base in Europe which pushed the album into the top ten in many European countries. According to Supertramp’s website, the band was planning another release in 1999.

This piece follows on from previous blogs on the first , second , third , fourth , fifth , sixth rounds and semi-finals of the 1986-87 FA Cup.
"Seven times we've won the Cup, and number eight is coming up". The bold statement penned by Chas and Dave, and sung by the Tottenham squad in their No18 hit Hot Shot Tottenham! may have seemed cocky, but the general consensus was that their proclamation would come true on Cup final day on May 16.
Tottenham were heavy favourites to defeat Coventry City, a club appearing in their first major final in their 104-year history. But the underdogs were used to proving the doubters wrong during their 1987 Cup run. Their Go For It single was an appropriately titled anthem for all that had gone before and what was to follow.
You could see why Tottenham were overwhelming favourites to lift the FA Cup for a record eighth time. Of their 13-man squad, only Mitchell Thomas had not been capped by his country; they possessed a striker in Clive Allen who was enjoying a stunning season containing 48 goals; and their squad contained a vast wealth of experience on the big stage.
Spurs goalkeeper Ray Clemence was appearing in his 42nd match at Wembley, but only four of Coventry's team - David Phillips, Nick Pickering, Dave Bennett and Cyrille Regis – had ever played at the famous old stadium, and only Phillips was a current international player.
The lead-up to the final was littered with constant references to the perceived differences between the two sides: "a pit pony v the Derby favourite"; "artisans v artists"; "rank outsiders v red-hot favourites"; "journeymen v pedigree". Fortunately, the Cup final would be played on the lush Wembley turf and not on paper, as, if the majority of the press were to be believed, Coventry were already a goal down before the match had begun.
Tottenham should have seen the warning signs. There had been talk of Spurs winning the double after their semi-final win over Watford, when they were 10 points behind leaders Everton with two games in hand and a trip to Goodison Park to come. But these hopes were well and truly quashed – four defeats in the final seven matches left Tottenham with a third-placed finish.
Conversely, Coventry were flying. They were unbeaten in the seven matches leading up to the final and were improving under the managerial pairing of John Sillett and George Curtis, who had taken over at the end of the previous season. For Sillett, the transformation was marked. In 1984 he had been sacked as youth team manager by Bobby Gould, but his time out of the game taught him a valuable lesson: the next time he was given a management role he would rather die on his feet rather than live on his knees. Sillett's team would play very much in the image of their manager: relaxed, confident, and passionate.
Sillett was not the only manager gaining plaudits before the final. David Pleat's work at Luton and his fine first season at Tottenham – as well as their strong league position, the club also reached the Littlewoods Cup semi-final – had even seen his name mentioned by the Mirror's Harry Harris as a possible successor for Bobby Robson's England post after the 1990 World Cup. Pleat's work in the transfer market – bringing in players such as Richard Gough, Steve Hodge, Nico Claesen and Mitchell Thomas – and his successful switch to a 4-5-1 formation had earned gushing praise from press, players and fans.
There was a big cloud looming on the horizon for Pleat, however. The FA Cup final would be Glenn Hoddle's last for the club before a move to the continent, although Brian Clough writing in his Mirror column insisted that Pleat should not pick the England midfielder. Clough believed player power was getting out of hand: "It sticks in my craw that Glenn can coolly nominate Wembley for his farewell appearance." The Hoddle issue was a problem that could wait for the distant future though, with Pleat hopeful the player could bow out in fine style during the Wembley showpiece.
"Of course it's a lovely way to leave the club at Wembley, but I'll be frightened just in case we lose," said Hoddle after the semi-final. He had been linked with Paris Saint-Germain, PSV Eindhoven and Bayer Leverkusen after announcing that he would be leaving Tottenham. His final match would be a far from joyous occasion though, the main man responsible for Hoddle's ineffectual display living up to his pre-match promises that he would keep the England man quiet.
Lloyd McGrath may have been a shy character off the pitch, but in the run-up to the final the 22-year-old midfielder was far from quiet in regards to Hoddle. "I'm going to destroy him, stop him from playing. I want to spoil his big day and make sure it's me who comes off the pitch smiling at the end and him who's feeling sick," said McGrath, who did just that. A combative midfielder whose bite was definitely worse than his bark, McGrath was a key component of Coventry's success.
Unhappy players, contract negotiations and injuries were the other dominant factors as the countdown to the final began in earnest. Nico Claesen issued an unwise threat to Pleat along the lines of pick me or let me go, but Pleat was hardly likely to mess with his trusty formation for the final. Ossie Ardiles had been linked with a player-manager position at the recently relegated Manchester City, but signed a new deal with Tottenham. And Gary Mabbutt's contract was running down, with Manchester United, Everton and even Arsenal reportedly sniffing around the England defender.
As well as his contract concerns, Mabbutt was also contending with injury problems. Having broken his rib against Northern Ireland in April, Mabbutt was playing with painkilling injections and was also suffering from a circulation problem, resulting in him playing matches with a numb feeling in his foot. Numbness was something that Mabbutt would certainly be feeling come the final whistle at Wembley.
Coventry's Cyrille Regis was also involved in contract talks as the final neared. Reportedly wanted by Johan Cruyff as a replacement for the Milan-bound Marco van Basten, Regis' form during the season (barring a poor semi-final display) had seen his name repeatedly discussed when England squads were announced. Coventry were understandably eager to tie down one of their star players and there were big sighs of relief when Regis signed a four-year deal, his subsequent FA Cup final performance proof of how important he was to the Sky Blues.
One man who looked destined to depart was Micky Gynn. Unhappy at being a bit-part player, Gynn had made noises about leaving in the summer and was not hopeful of a starting berth, even though he had finished the season strongly with three goals in seven games. But just one week before the final came a moment of misfortune for Brian Borrows which would change the landscape for both him and Gynn.
Borrows strained knee ligaments in the final league match against Southampton and faced a race against time to prove his fitness. The injury was treated three times a day at the team hotel in Bournemouth, with Sillett giving regular medical updates to the press, and at one point there did appear to be hope for Borrows.
Sadly, Borrows had to admit defeat on the Friday, his admission to hospital for an operation meaning that he couldn't even attend Wembley on what was supposed to be the biggest day of his career. In Borrows' absence Dave Phillips was switched to right-back, allowing Gynn to make the starting team. Gynn had his wish, but not in the manner he would have preferred.
Tottenham's only selection headache also revolved around the right-back position. Both Gary Stevens and Chris Hughton had struggled with injuries throughout the campaign and Pleat eventually opting for Hughton, allowing him the flexibility of utility man Stevens on the bench. It would be the left-back position that would be under close scrutiny though, with many opining that Coventry's Dave Bennett had the beating of Mitchell Thomas. The Times' David Miller wrote in his preview: "The man who could turn the game for Coventry is Bennett," arguing that he had the ability to "torment Thomas" and provide the ammunition for the likes of Regis and Houchen.
The rest of Miller's preview was typical of the pre-match predictions made by journalists and pundits on the morning of the final: Coventry would have to play above themselves and Tottenham below their best if we were to witness a shock. In Sir Alf Ramsey's team ratings, Tottenham came out on top 96-93; Steve Curry of the Express predicted that Spurs would win 3-1; and Alan Ball, Howard Kendall and Bobby Robson all picked Tottenham as the likely winner.
Of the few that went for Coventry, Billy Bremner and Graham Taylor could look back with smugness at their forecasts, although neither of them could touch the Express' James Lawton when it came to his analysis: "Coventry really shouldn't live with Spurs. But I think they will ... even to the point of nicking it, perhaps by the odd goal in five."
And so to the day itself. Sitting through the three-hour build-up on TV – including the usual Road to Wembley, player interviews and visits to hotels (but definitely not the Chas and Dave knees-up at 2.10pm on ITV) – I had a real sense of anticipation for the match ahead, partly through the naivety of my youthful eyes and the excitement that comes with that, but also because I knew both teams would play their football and that there would definitely be no parking of buses on this day.
As 3pm approached, Pleat and Sillett led out their teams. Coventry had appealed to the FA to let both Sillett and Curtis head the walk out, but the FA did not shift – and a thrilling 1987 FA Cup final was about to begin.
And what a start to the match. Chris Waddle, who spent most of the first half terrorising Greg Downs, easily beat the left-back before whipping in a cross for Clive Allen to score his 49th goal of the season with a bullet header that was past Ogrizovic before he could react. "Would you believe it," shrieked John Motson , as those of us hoping for a close cup final and a Coventry win were starting to have doubts even after just two minutes. Trevor Peake's assessment regarding Allen before the match was looking sadly accurate: "I can't guarantee to keep him quiet." Very true.
Allen had so far enjoyed a much happier FA Cup final than his previous experience in 1982, when he was injured early on whil playing for QPR against Tottenham. However, if Tottenham's start had been perfect, then the more perceptive among us had already spotted that something had gone awry before the kick-off.
Modelling their new kit for next season, the Tottenham players seemed to be suffering a wardrobe malfunction, five of their line-up wearing shirts with the club sponsor Holsten emblazoned on the front, but six without. It may have been perceived as a trifling matter to many, but to Tottenham it was plain embarrassing and to the watching Holsten representatives it was a farce.
The story was front page news come Monday, the Daily Mirror headline "What a cock-up" emphasising the furore that had been caused by the incident. Reports of Holsten executives storming out of the after match reception and refusing to attend a banquet filled column inches as Tottenham resolved to discover just what went wrong. Once it was revealed that human error had caused the mess, there were bound to be recriminations. Holsten agreed to continue their sponsorship of Tottenham, but club secretary Peter Day paid the price for the mistakes made, leaving the club after 10 years of employment.

Anyway, back to the football. After the shaky start, Coventry edged their way back into the match, their fans constantly encouraging the players with their rendition of the club anthem along to the tune of the Eton Boating Song. Tottenham's fans turned their attentions to their north London neighbours, countering with "Are you watching Arsenal?" and informing their rivals that this was in fact the proper Cup, in comparison to the Littlewoods Cup that Arsenal had won. The 98,000 fans packed into Wembley certainly contributed to a fantastic atmosphere, just part of the full FA Cup final package back in good old days (yes, I know I sound old).
Undeterred by their early setback, Coventry settled down and were rewarded just seven minutes after going behind. A Houchen flick saw Bennett react quickest between Thomas and Hodge, the Coventry winger taking the ball past Clemence who was a little slow in coming off his line, and slotting home the equaliser . Clemence's recent form had been under scrutiny, especially his role in Arsenal's Littlewoods Cup semi-final win, and his shakiness continued as shortly afterwards he let a simple Houchen cross squirm through his grasp before Hughton rescued him.
It wasn't proving a happy day for either keeper so far. When the normally reliable Steve Ogrizovic attempted a dribble and clearance outside his box which only succeeded in falling to Hoddle's feet , the Coventry keeper had to rely on the excellent Trevor Peake to bail him out, but even then a mix-up between the pair almost let Clive Allen in.
Maybe Ogrizovic had a valid excuse given his preparations for the Saturday. His wife had given birth just two days before, their child overdue by 10 days. When the hospital informed the parents that the child would be induced on the Saturday at 1pm, you can only imagine the look on Ogrizovic's face. He politely informed them that they might want to push the procedure forwards a couple of days.
Both sides had their moments after Bennett's goal. Waddle's influence continued throughout the first half and Clemence pulled off a smart save from Gynn after good work by Regis. Just as it seemed that the sides would go into the break level, a needless Nick Pickering foul on Paul Allen led to Tottenham's second goal. Hoddle's free-kick left Ogrizovic in no man's land, the ball ending up in the net via Mabbutt and/or Coventry skipper Kilcline, although officially the goal was given to the Tottenham man.
The pace of the match did not let up as the second half began, Downs deciding to deal with Waddle's threat through an early reducer, as the end-to-end nature continued. Bit by bit Coventry turned the screw, Bennett starting to have the impact that many had predicted, Gynn darting around in a tireless fashion, and Regis' pace and power giving Gough and Mabbutt plenty to deal with. During the intensity there was even time for a bit of humour, as Peake and Clive Allen tussled on the halfway line, having a good stab at a Torvill and Dean impression .
The force was with Coventry and the deserved equaliser arrived on 63 minutes, as Keith Houchen scored one of the most iconic Cup final goals in history . The diving header alone was good enough, but Bennett's part in it should not be forgotten, his beautiful cross so inviting that it simply begged to be finished off. Houchen propelled himself through the air at full length, the photographs of the moment forever capturing the glory of the occasion.
"The cross came in and I never took my eyes off it. I had to throw myself at it, or I would never have got on the end of it. I can't say I was consciously thinking: 'If it comes in, I'm going to dive and head it'. It's all instinct," Houchen explained in Jonathan Strange's A Tenner And A Box Of Kippers .

The man with only two goals in the league had again come up trumps in the Cup – not bad for someone who had been suffering with food poisoning in the week (Houchen was on the receiving end of a bad trout caught by reserve keeper Jake Findlay). "The man with the Midas touch in the FA Cup strikes gold for Coventry," said Motson, the sounds of Jimmy Hill noisily celebrating in the background apparent to the BBC viewer.
The rest of normal time was frenetic. Bennett continued to enjoy his day, confidence seeping from his body; Houchen went close with another header; in a rare moment of aggression, Kilcline wiped out Mabbutt and had to be substituted by Graham Rodger, although he wasn't even booked by referee Neil Midgley (who also had a fine game); and Clive Allen almost snatched a winner late on , Ogrizovic saving with his foot, as the match went into extra time. Not many were complaining about the extra half hour, after what we had just seen, in a 90 minutes that had seen a staggering 30 shots on goal.
As extra-time began – for the fifth time in the last seven FA Cup finals – the volume of support from the Coventry end grew and grew. "Go for it, go for it, City," came the cry from the terraces, the Cup final song being put to full use, the belief felt by the City fans tangible as the minutes ticked by. "Go for it, go for it, City". And so it continued. The excellent support would soon be rewarded with the goal that would clinch Coventry's FA Cup, and a moment from which a fanzine was born .
Rodger's assured display since his introduction carried on as he dropped his shoulder majestically in his own half and sent McGrath free down the right. The midfielder, for once free of his marking responsibilities, sent in a cross that struck Mabbutt's knee and looped over a helpless Clemence . It was a cruel slice of misfortune for the Tottenham defender, but one Coventry fully deserved.
Tottenham looked like a team that had taken one punch too many, the leads they had thrown away against Arsenal in the Littlewoods Cup and during this very match combining to send a physically weary side over the edge mentally. In fact, it was Gynn who had the last clear-cut chance of the afternoon , Clemence denying him a goal that his endless running merited.
Sillett had insisted that Coventry's name was on the trophy and soon it would be. His very likable team (assuming you were not a Tottenham fan) had provided the viewing millions with a story that had all the classic ingredients of a feelgood sporting occasion: an underdog team with no superstars defeating the favourites after a stirring comeback in a dramatic match. No wonder John Motson called it "the most exciting FA Cup final on which I've had the pleasure of commentating".

As Kilcline limped his way up the 39 steps to lift the trophy, Motson had one more gem to add: "The Sky Blues are sky high." Their feet definitely did not touch the ground over the next few days. A party at their hotel in Rugby went on to the early hours of the morning and from there the team went to Leamington Spa to visit Borrows in hospital. There then followed a reception in Coventry, with 250,000 people lining the streets as the open-top bus crawled along, while in the background the cathedral bells rang for the first time in over 100 years. Heady days indeed for a city that had suffered like most with the recession of the early 1980s.
Houchen revealed the full extent of the celebrations in Matt Allen's Where Are They Now? book. "Even the mayor of Coventry went crazy. Everyone was out of it by 2am. Policemen were coming in and filling their helmets with champagne. People were chucking the Cup around the room, bouncing it off the walls. At one point someone realised that the lid was missing. Someone was sitting on it. It was all bent out of shape."
For Tottenham, things were a little different. An evening party and bus parade went ahead as planned but, as you can imagine, the atmosphere was dreadful (Russ Abbot would not have approved) and only a few hundred people turned up for the "street party". A season that had promised so much had ultimately ended in disappointment – not the ideal way for Glenn Hoddle to end his days at the club.
The final word should belong to Lawton, seeing as he predicted the 1987 FA Cup final so accurately. He called it "one of the most stirring performances in the history of the FA Cup" in the Express on the Monday morning. It was hard to disagree. Sometimes you worry that your mind can play tricks, that you look back on the good old days through rose-tinted specs. But when I watched the whole of the final on YouTube for research, I discovered that my memories of this final were not far off the mark. It is a classic final that has stood the test of time.

The lead-up to the final was littered with constant references to the perceived differences between the two sides: "a pit pony v the Derby favourite"; "artisans v artists"; "rank outsiders v red-hot favourites"; "journeymen v pedigree". Fortunately, the Cup final would be played on the lush Wembley turf and not on paper, as, if the majority of the press were to be believed, Coventry were already a goal down before the match had begun.
Tottenham should have seen the warning signs. There had been talk of Spurs winning the double after their semi-final win over Watford, when they were 10 points behind leaders Everton with two games in hand and a trip to Goodison Park to come. But these hopes were well and truly quashed – four defeats in the final seven matches left Tottenham with a third-placed finish.
Conversely, Coventry were flying. They were unbeaten in the seven matches leading up to the final and were improving under the managerial pairing of John Sillett and George Curtis, who had taken over at the end of the previous season. For Sillett, the transformation was marked. In 1984 he had been sacked as youth team manager by Bobby Gould, but his time out of the game taught him a valuable lesson: the next time he was given a management role he would rather die on his feet rather than live on his knees. Sillett's team would play very much in the image of their manager: relaxed, confident, and passionate.
Sillett was not the only manager gaining plaudits before the final. David Pleat's work at Luton and his fine first season at Tottenham – as well as their strong league position, the club also reached the Littlewoods Cup semi-final – had even seen his name mentioned by the Mirror's Harry Harris as a possible successor for Bobby Robson's England post after the 1990 World Cup. Pleat's work in the transfer market – bringing in players such as Richard Gough, Steve Hodge, Nico Claesen and Mitchell Thomas – and his successful switch to a 4-5-1 formation had earned gushing praise from press, players and fans.
There was a big cloud looming on the horizon for Pleat, however. The FA Cup final would be Glenn Hoddle's last for the club before a move to the continent, although Brian Clough writing in his Mirror column insisted that Pleat should not pick the England midfielder. Clough believed player power was getting out of hand: "It sticks in my craw that Glenn can coolly nominate Wembley for his farewell appearance." The Hoddle issue was a problem that could wait for the distant future though, with Pleat hopeful the player could bow out in fine style during the Wembley showpiece.
"Of course it's a lovely way to leave the club at Wembley, but I'll be frightened just in case we lose," said Hoddle after the semi-final. He had been linked with Paris Saint-Germain, PSV Eindhoven and Bayer Leverkusen after announcing that he would be leaving Tottenham. His final match would be a far from joyous occasion though, the main man responsible for Hoddle's ineffectual display living up to his pre-match promises that he would keep the England man quiet.
Lloyd McGrath may have been a shy character off the pitch, but in the run-up to the final the 22-year-old midfielder was far from quiet in regards to Hoddle. "I'm going to destroy him, stop him from playing. I want to spoil his big day and make sure it's me who comes off the pitch smiling at the end and him who's feeling sick," said McGrath, who did just that. A combative midfielder whose bite was definitely worse than his bark, McGrath was a key component of Coventry's success.
Unhappy players, contract negotiations and injuries were the other dominant factors as the countdown to the final began in earnest. Nico Claesen issued an unwise threat to Pleat along the lines of pick me or let me go, but Pleat was hardly likely to mess with his trusty formation for the final. Ossie Ardiles had been linked with a player-manager position at the recently relegated Manchester City, but signed a new deal with Tottenham. And Gary Mabbutt's contract was running down, with Manchester United, Everton and even Arsenal reportedly sniffing around the England defender.
As well as his contract concerns, Mabbutt was also contending with injury problems. Having broken his rib against Northern Ireland in April, Mabbutt was playing with painkilling injections and was also suffering from a circulation problem, resulting in him playing matches with a numb feeling in his foot. Numbness was something that Mabbutt would certainly be feeling come the final whistle at Wembley.
Coventry's Cyrille Regis was also involved in contract talks as the final neared. Reportedly wanted by Johan Cruyff as a replacement for the Milan-bound Marco van Basten, Regis' form during the season (barring a poor semi-final display) had seen his name repeatedly discussed when England squads were announced. Coventry were understandably eager to tie down one of their star players and there were big sighs of relief when Regis signed a four-year deal, his subsequent FA Cup final performance proof of how important he was to the Sky Blues.
One man who looked destined to depart was Micky Gynn. Unhappy at being a bit-part player, Gynn had made noises about leaving in the summer and was not hopeful of a starting berth, even though he had finished the season strongly with three goals in seven games. But just one week before the final came a moment of misfortune for Brian Borrows which would change the landscape for both him and Gynn.
Borrows strained knee ligaments in the final league match against Southampton and faced a race against time to prove his fitness. The injury was treated three times a day at the team hotel in Bournemouth, with Sillett giving regular medical updates to the press, and at one point there did appear to be hope for Borrows.
Sadly, Borrows had to admit defeat on the Friday, his admission to hospital for an operation meaning that he couldn't even attend Wembley on what was supposed to be the biggest day of his career. In Borrows' absence Dave Phillips was switched to right-back, allowing Gynn to make the starting team. Gynn had his wish, but not in the manner he would have preferred.
Tottenham's only selection headache also revolved around the right-back position. Both Gary Stevens and Chris Hughton had struggled with injuries throughout the campaign and Pleat eventually opting for Hughton, allowing him the flexibility of utility man Stevens on the bench. It would be the left-back position that would be under close scrutiny though, with many opining that Coventry's Dave Bennett had the beating of Mitchell Thomas. The Times' David Miller wrote in his preview: "The man who could turn the game for Coventry is Bennett," arguing that he had the ability to "torment Thomas" and provide the ammunition for the likes of Regis and Houchen.
The rest of Miller's preview was typical of the pre-match predictions made by journalists and pundits on the morning of the final: Coventry would have to play above themselves and Tottenham below their best if we were to witness a shock. In Sir Alf Ramsey's team ratings, Tottenham came out on top 96-93; Steve Curry of the Express predicted that Spurs would win 3-1; and Alan Ball, Howard Kendall and Bobby Robson all picked Tottenham as the likely winner.
Of the few that went for Coventry, Billy Bremner and Graham Taylor could look back with smugness at their forecasts, although neither of them could touch the Express' James Lawton when it came to his analysis: "Coventry really shouldn't live with Spurs. But I think they will ... even to the point of nicking it, perhaps by the odd goal in five."
And so to the day itself. Sitting through the three-hour build-up on TV – including the usual Road to Wembley, player interviews and visits to hotels (but definitely not the Chas and Dave knees-up at 2.10pm on ITV) – I had a real sense of anticipation for the match ahead, partly through the naivety of my youthful eyes and the excitement that comes with that, but also because I knew both teams would play their football and that there would definitely be no parking of buses on this day.
As 3pm approached, Pleat and Sillett led out their teams. Coventry had appealed to the FA to let both Sillett and Curtis head the walk out, but the FA did not shift – and a thrilling 1987 FA Cup final was about to begin.
And what a start to the match. Chris Waddle, who spent most of the first half terrorising Greg Downs, easily beat the left-back before whipping in a cross for Clive Allen to score his 49th goal of the season with a bullet header that was past Ogrizovic before he could react. "Would you believe it," shrieked John Motson , as those of us hoping for a close cup final and a Coventry win were starting to have doubts even after just two minutes. Trevor Peake's assessment regarding Allen before the match was looking sadly accurate: "I can't guarantee to keep him quiet." Very true.
Allen had so far enjoyed a much happier FA Cup final than his previous experience in 1982, when he was injured early on whil playing for QPR against Tottenham. However, if Tottenham's start had been perfect, then the more perceptive among us had already spotted that something had gone awry before the kick-off.
Modelling their new kit for next season, the Tottenham players seemed to be suffering a wardrobe malfunction, five of their line-up wearing shirts with the club sponsor Holsten emblazoned on the front, but six without. It may have been perceived as a trifling matter to many, but to Tottenham it was plain embarrassing and to the watching Holsten representatives it was a farce.
The story was front page news come Monday, the Daily Mirror headline "What a cock-up" emphasising the furore that had been caused by the incident. Reports of Holsten executives storming out of the after match reception and refusing to attend a banquet filled column inches as Tottenham resolved to discover just what went wrong. Once it was revealed that human error had caused the mess, there were bound to be recriminations. Holsten agreed to continue their sponsorship of Tottenham, but club secretary Peter Day paid the price for the mistakes made, leaving the club after 10 years of employment.

Anyway, back to the football. After the shaky start, Coventry edged their way back into the match, their fans constantly encouraging the players with their rendition of the club anthem along to the tune of the Eton Boating Song. Tottenham's fans turned their attentions to their north London neighbours, countering with "Are you watching Arsenal?" and informing their rivals that this was in fact the proper Cup, in comparison to the Littlewoods Cup that Arsenal had won. The 98,000 fans packed into Wembley certainly contributed to a fantastic atmosphere, just part of the full FA Cup final package back in good old days (yes, I know I sound old).
Undeterred by their early setback, Coventry settled down and were rewarded just seven minutes after going behind. A Houchen flick saw Bennett react quickest between Thomas and Hodge, the Coventry winger taking the ball past Clemence who was a little slow in coming off his line, and slotting home the equaliser . Clemence's recent form had been under scrutiny, especially his role in Arsenal's Littlewoods Cup semi-final win, and his shakiness continued as shortly afterwards he let a simple Houchen cross squirm through his grasp before Hughton rescued him.
It wasn't proving a happy day for either keeper so far. When the normally reliable Steve Ogrizovic attempted a dribble and clearance outside his box which only succeeded in falling to Hoddle's feet , the Coventry keeper had to rely on the excellent Trevor Peake to bail him out, but even then a mix-up between the pair almost let Clive Allen in.
Maybe Ogrizovic had a valid excuse given his preparations for the Saturday. His wife had given birth just two days before, their child overdue by 10 days. When the hospital informed the parents that the child would be induced on the Saturday at 1pm, you can only imagine the look on Ogrizovic's face. He politely informed them that they might want to push the procedure forwards a couple of days.
Both sides had their moments after Bennett's goal. Waddle's influence continued throughout the first half and Clemence pulled off a smart save from Gynn after good work by Regis. Just as it seemed that the sides would go into the break level, a needless Nick Pickering foul on Paul Allen led to Tottenham's second goal. Hoddle's free-kick left Ogrizovic in no man's land, the ball ending up in the net via Mabbutt and/or Coventry skipper Kilcline, although officially the goal was given to the Tottenham man.
The pace of the match did not let up as the second half began, Downs deciding to deal with Waddle's threat through an early reducer, as the end-to-end nature continued. Bit by bit Coventry turned the screw, Bennett starting to have the impact that many had predicted, Gynn darting around in a tireless fashion, and Regis' pace and power giving Gough and Mabbutt plenty to deal with. During the intensity there was even time for a bit of humour, as Peake and Clive Allen tussled on the halfway line, having a good stab at a Torvill and Dean impression .
The force was with Coventry and the deserved equaliser arrived on 63 minutes, as Keith Houchen scored one of the most iconic Cup final goals in history . The diving header alone was good enough, but Bennett's part in it should not be forgotten, his beautiful cross so inviting that it simply begged to be finished off. Houchen propelled himself through the air at full length, the photographs of the moment forever capturing the glory of the occasion.
"The cross came in and I never took my eyes off it. I had to throw myself at it, or I would never have got on the end of it. I can't say I was consciously thinking: 'If it comes in, I'm going to dive and head it'. It's all instinct," Houchen explained in Jonathan Strange's A Tenner And A Box Of Kippers .

The man with only two goals in the league had again come up trumps in the Cup – not bad for someone who had been suffering with food poisoning in the week (Houchen was on the receiving end of a bad trout caught by reserve keeper Jake Findlay). "The man with the Midas touch in the FA Cup strikes gold for Coventry," said Motson, the sounds of Jimmy Hill noisily celebrating in the background apparent to the BBC viewer.
The rest of normal time was frenetic. Bennett continued to enjoy his day, confidence seeping from his body; Houchen went close with another header; in a rare moment of aggression, Kilcline wiped out Mabbutt and had to be substituted by Graham Rodger, although he wasn't even booked by referee Neil Midgley (who also had a fine game); and Clive Allen almost snatched a winner late on , Ogrizovic saving with his foot, as the match went into extra time. Not many were complaining about the extra half hour, after what we had just seen, in a 90 minutes that had seen a staggering 30 shots on goal.
As extra-time began – for the fifth time in the last seven FA Cup finals – the volume of support from the Coventry end grew and grew. "Go for it, go for it, City," came the cry from the terraces, the Cup final song being put to full use, the belief felt by the City fans tangible as the minutes ticked by. "Go for it, go for it, City". And so it continued. The excellent support would soon be rewarded with the goal that would clinch Coventry's FA Cup, and a moment from which a fanzine was born .
Rodger's assured display since his introduction carried on as he dropped his shoulder majestically in his own half and sent McGrath free down the right. The midfielder, for once free of his marking responsibilities, sent in a cross that struck Mabbutt's knee and looped over a helpless Clemence . It was a cruel slice of misfortune for the Tottenham defender, but one Coventry fully deserved.
Tottenham looked like a team that had taken one punch too many, the leads they had thrown away against Arsenal in the Littlewoods Cup and during this very match combining to send a physically weary side over the edge mentally. In fact, it was Gynn who had the last clear-cut chance of the afternoon , Clemence denying him a goal that his endless running merited.
Sillett had insisted that Coventry's name was on the trophy and soon it would be. His very likable team (assuming you were not a Tottenham fan) had provided the viewing millions with a story that had all the classic ingredients of a feelgood sporting occasion: an underdog team with no superstars defeating the favourites after a stirring comeback in a dramatic match. No wonder John Motson called it "the most exciting FA Cup final on which I've had the pleasure of commentating".

As Kilcline limped his way up the 39 steps to lift the trophy, Motson had one more gem to add: "The Sky Blues are sky high." Their feet definitely did not touch the ground over the next few days. A party at their hotel in Rugby went on to the early hours of the morning and from there the team went to Leamington Spa to visit Borrows in hospital. There then followed a reception in Coventry, with 250,000 people lining the streets as the open-top bus crawled along, while in the background the cathedral bells rang for the first time in over 100 years. Heady days indeed for a city that had suffered like most with the recession of the early 1980s.
Houchen revealed the full extent of the celebrations in Matt Allen's Where Are They Now? book. "Even the mayor of Coventry went crazy. Everyone was out of it by 2am. Policemen were coming in and filling their helmets with champagne. People were chucking the Cup around the room, bouncing it off the walls. At one point someone realised that the lid was missing. Someone was sitting on it. It was all bent out of shape."
For Tottenham, things were a little different. An evening party and bus parade went ahead as planned but, as you can imagine, the atmosphere was dreadful (Russ Abbot would not have approved) and only a few hundred people turned up for the "street party". A season that had promised so much had ultimately ended in disappointment – not the ideal way for Glenn Hoddle to end his days at the club.
The final word should belong to Lawton, seeing as he predicted the 1987 FA Cup final so accurately. He called it "one of the most stirring performances in the history of the FA Cup" in the Express on the Monday morning. It was hard to disagree. Sometimes you worry that your mind can play tricks, that you look back on the good old days through rose-tinted specs. But when I watched the whole of the final on YouTube for research, I discovered that my memories of this final were not far off the mark. It is a classic final that has stood the test of time.

The cat Gray-Malkin appears in which Shakespeare Play? | Macbeth Glossary - I come, graymalkin!
Macbeth Glossary
First Witch I come, graymalkin! (1.1.10)
i.e., an affectionate name for a gray cat.
During the Renaissance it was believed that Satan sent witches malicious spirits to help them carry out their evil deeds. These 'familiars' or 'imps' would appear in animal form. The familiar of the First Witch takes the form of a cat and the familiar of the Second Witch takes the form of a toad (Paddock). The familiar of the Third Witch is not mentioned in the first act but in 4.1 , it takes the form of a 'harpy', a nasty creature in Greek mythology with the head and body of a woman and the talons of a bird. Note the similarity to Shakespeare's minor source for Macbeth, Scot's Discovery of Witchcraft:
[Witches] can raise and suppresse lightning and thunder, raine and haile, clouds and winds, tempests and earthquakes. Others doo write, that they can pull downe the moone and the starres. Some write that with wishing they can send needles into the livers of their enimies. Some that they can transferre corne in the blade from one place to another. Some, that they can cure diseases supernaturallie, flie in the aire, and danse with divels. Some write, that they can plaie the part of Succubus, and contract themselves to Incubus; and so yoong prophets are upon them begotten, &c. Some say they can transubstantiate themselves and others, and take the forms and shapes of asses, woolves, ferrets, cowes, apes, horsses, dogs, &c. Some say they can keepe divels and spirits in the likenesse of todes and cats. (Book I, Chapter IV)
On stage we should hear one familiar mewing and one croaking, which the Witches are supposed to answer.

Shakespeare’s life and family
When and where was Shakespeare born?
Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, in 1564. The exact date of his birth isn't known, but it is generally celebrated on April 23. We do know that he was baptized on April 26, and it was common practice at the time to have an infant be baptized no later than the first Sunday after birth.
What was Shakespeare's education?
He likely attended the local grammar school, beginning at age 7, although he probably had learned his letters and basic reading before then. There is no record of him attending university.
Who were Shakespeare's parents and siblings?
Shakespeare's parents were John and Mary (neé Arden), who were married in about 1557. William was the oldest surviving child; two infant daughters died before William was born. William's younger siblings were Gilbert (born in 1566), Joan (1569), Anne (1571), Richard (1574) and Edmund (1580). Ann died at the age of eight, but the others lived into their adulthoods.
Who was Shakespeare's wife?
Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway near the end of 1582, when he was 18 years old. The exact date of Anne's birth is unknown, but she is thought to have been around 26 when they married.
Why did Shakespeare leave his wife his "second best bed"?
William Shakespeare wrote in his last will and testament, dated March 25, 1616, "Item I gyve unto my wife my second best bed with the furniture" (furniture is used to refer to the curtains and bedcover which formed part of the complete bed).
This was not an unusual bequest, nor was it likely to have been intended as a snub. The best bed was usually regarded as an heirloom piece, to be passed to the heir rather than the spouse. It is also probable that the best bed would have been reserved for guests, meaning the "second best" was the bed that William and Anne shared.
What did Shakespeare’s son die of?
We don't really know how Shakespeare's young son Hamnet died. He had a twin sister named Judith, who lived to adulthood and married, but Hamnet died at the age of 11 and a half. Child mortality was high in the sixteenth century; there were no antibiotics and many childhood diseases might therefore prove fatal, such as scarlet fever, whooping cough, diphtheria, and even measles. He was buried on August 11, 1596.
When did Shakespeare die?
Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616 and was buried on April 25, 1616 in Holy Trinity Church , Stratford-upon-Avon.
What is the inscription on Shakespeare’s grave?
GOOD FREND FOR JESUS SAKE FORBEARE,
TO DIGG THE DUST ENCLOASED HEARE:
BLESTE BE Ye [the] MAN Yt [that] SPARES THES STONES,
AND CURST BE HE Yt [that] MOVES MY BONES.
Does Shakespeare have descendants?
William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway had three children.
The eldest, Susanna, was baptized on May 26, 1583, and married John Hall in 1607. They had one child, Elizabeth, in 1608. Elizabeth was married twice, to Thomas Nash in 1626, and to John Bernard in 1649. However, she had no children by either husband.
William and Anne also had twins, Judith and Hamnet, who were baptized on February 2, 1585. Hamnet died at age 11 and a half.
Judith married Thomas Quiney in 1616, and the couple had three sons: Shakespeare Quiney, who died in infancy, and Richard and Thomas, who both died in 1639 within a month of each other. Since neither of the boys married, there is no possibility of any legitimate descendants from Shakespeare's line.
It is possible, however, to claim a relationship to Shakespeare through his sister, Joan. She married William Hart some time before 1600 and there are many descendants of this marriage alive today, in both the male and female lines.
Did Shakespeare have a coat of arms?
Yes, William's father, John Shakespeare, was granted a coat of arms in 1596. It was disputed in 1602 by York Herald, Ralph Brooke, saying that the arms were too similar to existing coats of arms, and that the family was unworthy. However, the challenge seems to have been unsuccessful, as the Shakespeare crest appears in later collections of coats of arms and on William Shakespeare's funeral monument in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon.
Shakespeare's works
Did Shakespeare write the plays and poems attributed to him?
Some have argued that a more noble writer was secretly behind the works attributed to Shakespeare; they doubt that someone without an aristocratic pedigree could have written the plays and poetry published under his name. Since the 19th century, several candidates for "hidden author" have been proposed, among them Queen Elizabeth, Sir Francis Bacon, and Edward de Vere (earl of Oxford). Such debates testify to the lasting importance of Shakespeare's works and call attention to the astonishing achievement that they represent.
In the century since these claims were first advanced, no decisive evidence has been unearthed proving that the plays were produced by anyone but the man from Stratford-upon-Avon, a man equipped with a very good "grammar-school" education and the experience gained working in a professional theater company in London.
The Folger has been a major location for research into the authorship question, and welcomes scholars looking for new evidence that sheds light on the plays' origins. How this particular man—or anyone, for that matter—could have produced such an astounding body of work is one of the great mysteries.
How many words did Shakespeare write?
According to Marvin Spevack's concordances , Shakespeare’s complete works consist of 884,647 words and 118,406 lines.
How many plays did Shakespeare write?
Thirty-eight is the generally accepted number, though recent claims have been made for King Edward III and some scholars would include part of Sir Thomas More. Another play, Cardenio, has not survived.
What is Shakespeare’s earliest play?
His earliest play is probably one of the three parts of King Henry VI ( Part 1 , Part 2 , and Part 3 ), written between 1589–1591.
What is Shakespeare’s last play?
His last play is probably The Two Noble Kinsmen , which Shakespeare co-wrote with John Fletcher around 1613.
What is Shakespeare’s longest play?
Hamlet , with 4,042 lines.
The Comedy of Errors , with 1,787 lines.
What is the "First Folio"?
The First Folio is the first comprehensive collection of Shakespeare's plays, containing 36 of the 38 plays we now consider to be his. It was published in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death, by some of the actors from his company. It was the first time a number of Shakespeare's plays, including Macbeth and As You Like It , were published at all. Without the First Folio we might have only about half of the plays that Shakespeare ever wrote.
How were Shakespeare's plays published before the First Folio?
Many of the plays were published during Shakespeare's lifetime as individual plays in a quarto format .
What are folios and quartos?
"Folio" and "quarto" refer to the number of times a sheet of paper has been folded for printing, and thus gives a rough indication of the size of the book.
A folio is a book for which the initial sheet of paper has been folded in half, providing two leaves and four pages (the front and back of each leaf) for printing.
A quarto is folded again, giving four leaves and eight pages.
How many First Folios still exist?
The easiest answer to this question is 235. Anthony West counts 232 in his 2001 census of First Folios . In 2014, a previously uncounted copy was discovered in France, and in 2016 two more came to light in Britain. But the full answer is more complicated: there are additional copies whose whereabouts aren’t currently known, and differentiating between a complete copy and a fragment of a First Folio can be tricky.
Who has the most First Folios?
The Folger Shakespeare Library has 82 First Folios, the most in one collection. Meisei University in Tokyo has the second largest collection, with 12.
Were there any other editions of the First Folio?
Four folio editions of the plays were published during the 17th century:
First Folio – 1623
Fourth Folio – 1685
Can you give me the source of this quotation from Shakespeare?
Here are the sources for some frequently requested quotations. Line numbers may differ, depending on which edition you are consulting. If your quotation is not listed, search for it using Folger Digital Texts .
"All the world's a stage, / And all the men and women merely players."
From Jaques’s speech in As You Like It ( Act 2, scene 7, lines 145-46 ).
"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."
From Dick the butcher's speech in Henry VI, Part 2 ( Act 4, scene 2, line 75 ).
"A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!"
From Juliet’s speech in Romeo and Juliet ( Act 3, scene 2, lines 23-24 ).
"Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow"
From Juliet’s speech in Romeo and Juliet ( Act 2, scene 2, lines 199-200 ).
"Oh what a tangled web we weave / When first we practice to deceive."
This is NOT Shakespeare but Sir Walter Scott, in his long poem Marmion (1808), canto 6, stanza 17.
Shakespeare's theater
What were the different ticket costs to go to a play in Shakespeare’s time?
Prices of admission depended on the kind of theater. Outdoor theaters like the Globe charged one penny to get in and another penny if you wanted to sit in the balconies. By the early seventeenth century, the price of admission went up to about sixpence. Admission to the private indoor theaters, which catered to a more affluent audience, generally began at a basic sixpence to gain entry to the galleries. Fancy gallants who wanted to be seen, however, could sit on the stage for two shillings (24 pence), and a box could be had for half-a-crown (30 pence).
It’s a bit trickier to work out what those costs mean in today’s money: was a penny to get in cheap or expensive? Maybe the easiest way to think about this question is that it cost about 4 pence to provide food and drink for a grown man for one day.
How did men cover up their beards if they played women’s roles in Shakespeare’s theater?
Usually boys and young men played women's parts on stage, so there was no problem about beards. In fact, Hamlet jokes with one of the actors who visit the court in Denmark: "Why, thy face is valanced since I saw thee last" (Hamlet Act 2, scene 2, lines 447–48 ), meaning that the boy has reached puberty and started to grow a beard. Since his voice would change about the same time (Hamlet says, "Pray God your voice, like a piece of uncurrent gold, be not cracked within the ring." [ Act 2, scene 2, lines 451–53 ]), that would signal the end of female roles for him. Older men probably played female roles from time-to-time, including comic figures like Juliet's Nurse. In that case, they would probably shave off any beard.

Synopsis
René Magritte was born in Belgium in 1898. After attending art school in Brussels, he worked in commercial advertising to support himself while he experimented with his painting. In the mid 1920s he began to paint in the surrealist style and became known for his witty and thought-provoking images and his use of simple graphics and everyday objects, giving new meanings to familiar things. With a popularity that increased over time, Magritte was able to pursue his art full-time and was celebrated in several international exhibitions. He experimented with numerous styles and forms during his life and was a primary influence on the pop art movement. He died in 1967.
A Difficult Crossing
René François Ghislain Magritte was born in Lessines, Belgium, on November 21, 1898, the oldest of three boys. His father’s manufacturing business at times allowed the family to live in relative comfort, but financial difficulties were a constant threat and forced them to move about the country with some regularity. Magritte’s young world was dealt a far more destructive blow in 1912, when his mother committed suicide by drowning herself in a river.
Magritte found solace from the tragedy in films and novels and especially through painting. His earliest surviving works from this era were accomplished in the impressionist style. However, in 1916 he left home for Brussels, where for the next two years he studied at Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts. Although he was ultimately unimpressed with the institution, he was nonetheless exposed to emerging styles such as cubism and futurism, which significantly altered the direction of his work. Indeed, many of Magritte’s paintings from the early 1920s owe a clear debt to Pablo Picasso .
The Treachery of Images
In 1921 Magritte began his one year of compulsory military service before returning home and marrying Georgette Berger, whom he had known since he was a boy and with whom he would stay for the rest of his life. After a brief stint in a wallpaper factory, he found work as a freelance poster and advertisement designer while he continued to paint. Around this time Magritte saw the painting The Song of Love by Italian surrealist Giorgio de Chirico and was so struck by its imagery that it sent his own work off in the new direction for which he would become known.
Placing familiar, mundane objects such as bowler hats, pipes and rocks in unusual contexts and juxtapositions, Magritte evoked themes of mystery and madness to challenge the assumptions of human perception. With early works such as The Lost Jockey and The Menaced Assassin Magritte quickly became one of the most important artists in Belgium and found himself at the center of its nascent surrealist movement. But when his first one-man show—in 1927 at the Galerie le Centaure—was poorly received, a disheartened Magritte left his homeland for France.
On the Threshold of Liberty
Settling in the Perreux-sur-Marne suburb of Paris, Magritte quickly fell in with some of surrealism’s brightest lights and founding fathers, including writer André Breton , poet Paul Éluard and artists Salvador Dalí , Max Ernst and Joan Miró . Over the next few years he produced important works such as The Lovers and The False Mirror and also began to experiment with the use of text, as seen in his 1929 painting The Treachery of Images.
But despite the progress Magritte was making in his art, he had yet to find significant financial success, and in 1930 he and Georgette returned to Brussels, where he set up an ad agency with his younger brother Paul. Though the demands of their studio left Magritte little time for his own work over the next few years, interest in his paintings began to grow and soon he was selling enough to leave his commercial work behind.
Surrealism in Full Sunlight
In the late 1930s Magritte’s newfound popularity resulted in exhibitions of his work in New York City and London. But the onset of World War II would soon alter the course of his life and art. His decision to remain in Belgium following the Nazi occupation caused a split between him and André Breton, and the suffering and violence caused by the war led him away from the often dark and chaotic moods of surrealism. “Against widespread pessimism,” he said, “I now propose a search for joy and pleasure.” Works from this period, such as The Return of the Flame and The Clearing, demonstrate this shift, with their brighter palettes and more impressionistic technique.
After the war, Magritte finalized his break with Breton’s branch of surrealism when he and several other artists signed a manifesto titled “Surrealism in Full Sunlight.” A period of experimentation during which Magritte’s created garish and provocative paintings followed before he returned to his more familiar style and subject matter, including a 1948 reimagining of his Lost Jockey, painted the same year as his first one-man exhibition in Paris.
The Enchanted Domain
With the arrival of the 1950s, Magritte enjoyed ongoing international interest in his work and continued his prolific output. In 1951 he was commissioned to paint a cycle of murals for the casino at Knocke-le-Zoute, a town on the Belgian coast. Completed in 1953 and titled The Enchanted Domain, they were a celebration of some of his best-known images. More commissions around Belgium followed, as did major exhibitions of his work in Brussels and the Sidney Janis Gallery in New York. Some of his most important works from this period include the paintings Golconda and The Glass Key. He also introduced the now-iconic apple into his work, most recognizably in 1964’s The Son of Man.
Despite having been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 1963, Magritte was able to travel to New York City for a 1965 retrospective of his work at the Museum of Modern Art. Magritte also explored other media during this time, making a series of short films that featured his wife, Georgette, as well as experimenting with sculpture. After a period of prolonged illness, on August 15, 1967, René Magritte died at the age of 68. His work proved to be a primary influence on pop artists such as Andy Warhol and has since been celebrated in countless exhibitions around the world. The Magritte Museum opened in Brussels in 2009.

René Magritte: This is Not A Biography
This is a brief biography of René François Ghislain Magritte (November 21, 1898– August 15, 1967) who was a Belgian surrealist artist who painted around 1,800 pieces [Sylvester]. My biography is a combination of original thought and information juxtaposed from various sources. This biography is surreal.
Magritte poses with his alter ego Fantomas
Rene Magritte described his paintings saying, "My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question, 'What does that mean?' It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing, it is unknowable."
Here's an interesting paragraph from "Thought Rendered Visible" (by Marcel Paquet) from the History of Art: Magritte was a painter of ideas; a painter of visible thoughts, rather than of subjects. He valued neither lyrical nor the abstraction. In his view, those artists producing such work, in presenting subject-matter, were presenting nothing worthy of a single thought, nor even deserving of one's interest. Magritte did not possess a studio in the strict sense of the word [he painted in his dining room area], responding maliciously to those who commented in surprise upon this that painting was done in order that it might land on the canvas, and not on the carpet, which indeed revealed not the slightest stain. The truth is that we cannot even say with any certainty whether Magritte actually enjoyed painting. He clearly liked to think in pictures; as soon as he had elaborated these thoughts with the aid of sketches and little drawings, however, he baulked at the idea of transferring them onto canvas, preferring to go and play chess in the "Greenwich", a well-known Brussels cafe. He was not as passionate a player as Man Ray or even Marcel Duchamp (who was infuriated at losing twice in a row to an eleven-year-old boy named Fischer); nevertheless, Magritte loved this form of visible mathematics more than the act of painting. Numerous anecdotes attest to his great contempt for that which Bram Bogart called "peinture-peinture" (which may be roughly translated as "painting pretty pictures") and Marcel Duchamp the class of the "retiniens" ("retina-cretinas") - in contrast to the class of the 'grey subject-matter.' "
The above paragraph from Marcel Paquet expesses why I feel an afinity with Magritte- it's almost as if we are in some way kindred souls. If you want to get images of what exists- get a camera. Here's another example of Magritte's behavior (History of Art) that seems similar to mine:
"One day, Magritte let himself be persuaded by Georgette and a couple with whom they were friends to undertake a trip to Holland to visit an exhibition on Frans Hals, possibly the greatest master of using black in painting. Upon arriving in front of the museum, Magritte informed the others that Loulou, his little dog, did not want to see Frans Hals. And so, while his wife and their friends went round the exhibition, he waited for them in a little cafe, getting drunk on advocaat, an extremely sweet, egg-based alcoholic drink which rapidly makes one feel nauseous. He loathed so-called cultural trips. His laconic comment, upon seeing the pyramid of Cheops at Gizeh: "Yes... much as I expected." In the same way, he frequently repeated that the reproduction of a painting was all that he wanted, that he needed to see the original exactly as little as he had to read the original manuscript of books which he had read. The legacy of Dada in such jokes is unmistakable."
Magritte also liked to shock and surprise. His painting The Rape which features of a woman's face replaced by sexual attributes: breasts, belly button and pubic hair, certainly pushed the limit. To avoid a scandal this painting was hidden by a velvet curtain at the Minotaure exhibition in Brussels. My painting the Crucifixion of Christ was accepted in an exhibition in Beaufort SC and then, because of complaints, it was turned facing the wall. The reason for the complains- Christ was naked! It's a good thing Michelangelo's paintings weren't on display.
Early Life
"The void is the only great wonder of the world," said Magritte who was born in Lessines, in the province of Hainaut, in 1898, the eldest son of Léopold Magritte, a tailor, and Adeline, a milliner. November 21, 1898. But it is in "le Pays Noir" ("the Black Country": an area of coal mines and tips) that he spent most of his childhood and adolescence, particularly in the city of Châtelet, where he studied until he was almost seventeen.
His father, Léopold, born in Pont-à-Celles in 1870, was a tailor while his mother, Régina Bertinchamps, born in Gilly in 1871, was a modiste till she got married in 1898. After living in Lessines for a few months, his parents decided to settle in Gilly where his younger brothers, Raymond and Paul were born, respectively in 1900 and 1902. Paul who was a poet, a musician and a humorist, was always very close to René.
The whole family lived in Chatelet from 1904 to 1916, except for two temporary stays in Charleroi and Brussels in 1913 and 1916. They successively stayed at numbers 79 and 95 in the "rue des Gravelles" in Châtelet. We know very little in fact about René Magritte's youth, for this great artist was loath to look into his past. Thanks to Paul, we know that Léopold, the father, was a successful businessman who gave his family the opportunity of living handsomely and could even afford a small staff of servants. Léopold certainly had a sense of humour but must have been rather ill-natured.
The tragic end of Régina Magritte, whose body was recovered in the Sambre River Feb. 23, 1912, raised a lot of questions. No doubt she deeply influenced her son's work, in which water is omnipresent along with veiled characters (when Régina's body was taken away of the water, her face was covered with her dressing gown). After Régina's death, the education of the three brothers was entrusted to servants. Châtelet retains the memory of boisterous and mischievous kids, who were not particularly brilliant at school. In Charleroi, where he studied at the present "Athénée Ernest Solvay", he is remembered as a student who showed very little interest in Latin and many other branches. It is at the 1913 Fun Fair of Charleroi that he first met the one who would become his wife in 1922: Georgette Berger.
René felt an artistic calling when he took his first lessons in art, the only subject where he excelled. In his first year he produced three paintings: two landscapes (one is hung in the Rene Magritte Museum in Brussels) and a study of flowers. Eugène Paulus, the well-known sculptor, must have been one of his teachers. In 1911 René completed his first great oil painting :"Chevaux dans une pâture" (Horses in a pasture) which filled his father's heart with pride [confirmed by Magritte's autobiography]. The very first exhibition of works by René Magritte was held in the summer of 1915, in the "Château Bolle", rue de Couillet in Châtelet. This exhibition also displayed, among others, works by Albert Chavepeyer. Between 1915 and 1920, he intermittently attended classes at the Fine Arts Academy of Brussels but took far less interest in what he was being taught than in the people he met there.
In an interview Michael Georis of the newspaper Le Peuple asked Magritte, "When did you start you to draw, to paint?"
"As a very young person, around six or seven years," Magritte answered. "I attended later the Athenaeum of Charleroi and I liked much to draw and paint. My mother had died when I was very young. My father liked my drawings, my painting... He was benevolent and encouraged my vocation."
Another source says: "He began lessons in drawing around 1910 in Chatelet where his family had moved- his father was also a trader which lead to a nomadic lifestyle in search of money. Magritte's first painting, a Belgian landscape was done in 1910 and is on display at the Rene Magritte Museum in Jett, a suburb of Brussels." As a young man Magritte also wrote mystery novels (under the name Renghis- a combination of his first and middle names) and poetry. He also read mystery novels. Maybe that's why his artwork is... mysterious.
"Magritte retained few memories of his childhood in the province of Hainaut, where his parents' house in Lessines is today a little museum containing various documents. His memories were all the more vivid for being so few, however. His earliest recollection concerned a crate next to his cradle; it struck him as a highly mysterious object, and aroused in him that feeling of strangeness and disquiet which he would encounter again and again later in his adult life. His second recollection was connected with a manned hot air balloon which had landed on the roof of his parents' house. The manoeuvres undertaken by the men in their efforts to fetch down the enormous, empty bag, together with the leather clothing of the "aeronauts" and their earflap helmets, left him with a deep sensitivity for everything eluding immediate comprehension." [Marcel Paquet-History of Art]
Magritte himself speaks of the third and last childhood recollection, with which we will concern ourselves here, in a lecture given in 1938: "During my childhood, I liked to play with a little girl in the abandoned old cemetery of a country town... We used to lift up the iron gates and go down into the underground vaults. Once, on regaining the light of day, I noticed an artist painting in an avenue of the cemetery, which was very picturesque with its broken columns of stone and its heaped-up leaves. He had come from the capital; his art seemed to me to be magic, and he himself endowed with powers from above. Unfortunately, I learnt later that painting bears very little direct relation to life, and that every effort to free oneself has always been derided by the public. Millet's Angelus was a scandal in his day, the painter being accused of insulting the peasants by portraying them in such a manner. People wanted to destroy Manet's Olympia, and the critics charged the painter with showing women cut into pieces, because he had depicted only the upper part of the body of a woman standing behind the bar, the lower part being hidden by the bar itself. In Courbet's day, it was generally agreed that he had very poor taste in so conspicuously displaying his false talent. I also saw that there were endless examples of this nature and that they extended over every area of thought. As regards the artists themselves, most of them gave up their freedom quite lightly, placing their art at the service of someone or something. As a rule, their concerns and their ambitions are those of any old careerist. I thus acquired a total distrust of art and artists, whether they were officially recognized or were endeavouring to become so, and I felt that I had nothing in common with this guild. I had a point of reference which held me elsewhere, namely that magic within art which I had encountered as a child."
Rene Magritte had two brothers, Paul and Raymond, both somewhat younger than himself. Raymond, the youngest, was a clever businessman with a practical and realistic intellect; art and poetry meant nothing to him. Even after his brother's first great successes, Raymond continued to regard him as an idiot and a "nut-case". It is true that Magritte demonstrated something of an antisocial tendency; with his rebellious temperament, he found it difficult to conform to existing conventions. One day, the King wished to give a banquet in his honour, perhaps intending to commission a picture from him; Magritte rang up the master of ceremonies a few hours before the dinner was due to begin, informing him that he had unfortunately burnt a hole in his dinner jacket with his cigarette, and would therefore be unable to participate in the festivities. He soon fell out with Raymond, whom he criticized for being bourgeois and conformist; on the other hand, he always felt very close to his other brother. Paul, who studied music with ELT Mesens, wrote popular songs, composing "Le petit nid", "Quand je t'ai donne mon coeur", and arranging two works by Georgius, "J'aime ma maison" and "Je suis blase". He also composed the music for a poem by Paul Colinet, "Marie trombone chapeau buse", a minor masterpiece every bit the equal of Satie and Fargue.
History of Art: "Paul and Rene often joined forces against Raymond during their childhood; they were both extremely interested in the love affairs of their father, who knew only too well how to console himself as a widower. They also shared a boundless love for the pleasures of the cinema, avidly following the famous Fantomas series in 1913 and 1914, which had been inspired by the novel by Souvestre and Allain. Their Thursdays and Sundays were filled with the heroic deeds of this enigmatic being. Fantomas was a sinister hero without identity, totally criminal but highly popular, who in some enviable way had succeeded in becoming revered precisely because of his disgraceful deeds. There can be no doubt that this mysterious challenge to the established order and the laws of the ruling class represented a rich source of inspiration for Magritte, one which also played a role in the subject matter of some of his pictures: one thinks, for example, of such pictures as The Return of the Flame or The Threatened Assassin."
Death of his Mother- 1912
One night in 1912, his mother Régine Bertinchamp, who suffered from depression, left the house while the rest of the family was asleep and she threw herself over a bridge, into the River Sambre. Magritte (then only 13) was reportedly present when her dead body was retrieved from the water. According to one of the many legends associated with Magritte, the image of his mother floating, her nightgown obscuring her face, influenced a 1927–1928 series of paintings of people with cloth obscuring their faces, including Les Amants and The Heart of the Matter.
Les Amants- The Lovers (Legend associates these obscured images with his mother's suicide)
The incident was described much later by Louis Scutenaire in words which, according to Georgette, stylized the whole episode into a legend. [Scutenaire claimed he got he information from Magritte] The only recollection which Magritte himself admitted to having of the affair was that of a feeling of pride at suddenly finding himself the focal point of interest and sympathy both in the neighbourhood and among his fellow pupils at the Charleroi grammar school. It is certain that he never saw his mother's corpse, "its face covered with a nightdress." According to Marcel Paquet the "psychological interpretations of Magritte's work by David Sylvester and others that the death of Rene's mother influenced a 1927–1928 series of paintings of people with cloth obscuring their faces, including Les Amants (The Lovers; see above) and The Heart of the Matter are unfounded."
The painting that I believe deals directly with her death is his 1926 painting below, "The Musings of a Solitary Walker." Magritte used many inconic images to obscure people and objects. The reason for this had to do little or nothing to do with his mothers death. He obscured faces with sheets, then birds, pipes and finally apples. Perhaps the real reason (hinted at by Sylvester) for obscuring images besides adding mystery to the person was: the reclusive Magritte was hiding, not wanting to be recognized.
"The Musings of a Solitary Walker" 1926
Magritte Recalls His Early Work- 1915
"In 1915 I attempted to regain that position which would enable me to see the world in a different way to the one which people were seeking to impose upon me," Magritte explained. "I possessed some technical skill in the art of painting, and in my isolation I undertook experiments that were consciously different from everything that I knew in painting. I experienced the pleasure of freedom in painting the most unconventional pictures. By a strange coincidence, perhaps out of pity and probably as a joke, I was given a catalogue [Sylvester says by Pierre Bourgeois] with illustrations from an exhibition of Futurist painting. I now had before my eyes a mighty challenge directed towards that same good sense which so bored me. It was for me the same light that I had encountered as a child whenever I emerged from the underground vaults of the old cemetery where I spent my holidays."
History of Art: "In retrospect, the image of the little girl and little boy climbing out of an underground vault in which death is present, and then discovering a painter who is attempting to record his view of the cemetery on canvas, seems almost an advance announcement of Magritte's later career. The artist's childhood, and the dreams bound up with it, should not of course be regarded as the sole veritable key that enables us to gain access to the mysteries of creative output. It is clear that such pictures from the depths of the past cannot play a role in the creation of a work of art until they have been reappraised and reinvented with the help of and as a consequence of decisions taken, encounters made and coincidences experienced by the meanwhile mature artist. Given Magritte's concern to record in written form precisely this recollection, however, it is fair to assume that it contains elements which - in the manner of a kind of educative experience - serve to introduce us to the imaginary world of his work. The record of his childhood experience specifically mentions the sharp contrast between the view of the two children, who are in principle as far away as can be from the end of life, and the place where they are playing. A cemetery is the place par excellence in which one's memories of those no longer with us are preserved and cherished. It soon becomes clear that elements almost always appear in Magritte's pictures such as present a sharp contrast to each other, thereby triggering a shock which shakes the intellect out of its apathy and sets one to thinking. The simultaneity of day and night in his picture The Empire of Lights, probably his most famous work, makes this clear."
Georgette Berger 1913
At the age of 15, Magritte met Georgette Berger, the girl who would be his future wife, model and creative muse. Here's an account of the meeting from Marcel Paquet:
"The monotony of everyday life in Charleroi was interrupted not only by the pleasures of the cinema but also by the annual fair, which took place at the Place du Manege opposite the Musee des Beaux-Arts, in direct proximity to the Palais des Beaux-Arts, home of one of Magritte's most famous frescoes, The Ignorant Fairy. The fair of 1913 was to confer a lustre upon his life for ever more. A merry-go-round salon stood between the stalls and various amusements, a fairground institution which is no longer to be found. After a turn on the wooden horses, the boys and girls would walk around hand in hand, to the strains of a Limonaire organ. This merry-go-round was among those places where boys and girls met to embark upon their first flirtations. Magritte, who was fifteen that year, invited a little girl not yet even thirteen to a round: Georgette. Her father was a butcher in Marcinelle. Love was clearly already in the air at their first rendezvous: while life was to separate the two of them for some time, they would find each other again in the end, thereafter never to be parted."
Brussels 1915; The Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts
Their romance was interrupted when the Germans invaded Belgium (World War I) in August 1914 and advanced fifty miles from Mons. Rene dropped out of school. In order to continue his art studies he left he Georgette and his family behind and moved to Brussels. In November 1915 he took a room at a boarding house near the art academy (Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts) to learn how to paint with all the "proper" techniques usually attributed to artists who worked in the figurative style, his plan was to master these techniques before breaking free of them. He probably attended classes informally [supported by Sylvester] until he officially enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels in October 1916. Soon his family moved nearby and he moved in with them. From then until 1920 he attended classes in drawing (with Emile Vandamme-Sylva), decorative painting and ornamental composition. Biographer David Sylvester suggests that Magritte probably studied perspective using "Traite pratique de perspective" by A. Cassagne because his The Giantess (1930) and Fair Captive (study of a painting within a painting) seem to be taken from Cassagne. Some of his early works before 1919 were landscapes showing the Sambre river where his mother had committed suicide.
While studying at the Art Academy he met poet and writer Pierre Bourgeois, who became his best friend. Then in 1918 when Rene began work as a poster and advertisement designer for a wallpaper company at Peters Lacroix, he met the painter Victor Servranckx, who had already turned to non-figurative art. Magritte worked under the supervision of Servranckx and they had become friends and colaborators. In 1919, Pierre-Louis Flouquet, a French artist living in Brussels, shared his workshop with Magritte. Flouquet introduced him to other cubists and futurists; Magritte also got acquainted with the Antwerps avant-garde. Magritte’s first exhibit displayed his creations in advertising, not in painting. He exhibited two ads: one for Sherlock and the other for Monnaie Butterfly. The trade fair was organized by Víctor Bourgeois and Aimé Declerq at the Belgian Galerie Centre d’Art.
Purism; Cubo-Futurism; De Stijl (The Style) 1920
After lecture on the Dutch movement by abstractionist Theo van Doesburg titled De Stijl (The Style) in February 1920, Magritte began a series of paintings exploring those principles. Around the same time Servranckx and Magritte developed an artistic style based on purism, cubism and futurism they called Cubo-Futurism. Then in 1922 they wrote "Pure Art: A Defence of the Aesthetic." Here's an excerpt:
APPLIED ART KILLS PURE ART: The devastation caused by applied art is considerable. In order to survive many artists waste their time on the production of applied art objects which are sold on a large scale. These mediocre works tend to satisfy the aesthetic needs of mankind. As a result people lose interest in the pure works of art of these artists to the extent that they become unsaleable. Artists should be able to support themselves with their work. (Magritte and Servranckx- 1922)
1924 Jeunesse (Youth)- Shows the influence of futurism and the Cubo-Futuristic style from the early 1920s
That same year (1922), he made one of the most important artist discoveries of his carreer in Giorgio De Chirico's pre-surrealist works (1914-1918). [Some sources give a later date for Magritte's discovery of De Chirico since Rene's style didn't change until 1925] Rene and his friend ELT Mesens were shown a reproduction of De Chirico's The Song of Love in Les Cahiers Libres and he was so moved by the image that it moved him to tears. This provided true inspiration- Magritte decided to make each of his paintings a visual poem; a quality he found present in De Chirico's works.
Giorgio de Chirico- The Song of Love (1914)
According to one source: "Marcel Lecomte showed Magritte a reproduction of Giorgio de Chirico's painting The Song of Love (1914), and the image (above), illustrated in the Roman periodical Valori Plastici, is said to have moved him to tears. The strange juxtaposition of objects in De Chirico's work revealed to Magritte the poetic possibilities of painting, and thereafter he adopted a similar painting style."
Rene and his muse Georgette
Rekindles the Fire; Enters the Military
In 1920 he met Georgette Berger again after she moved to Brussels with her sister. Georgette worked at Maison de la Culture, also as a wallpaper artist, and they rekindled their interest in each other. She became his only model and muse. Magritte's best friend the time was the young poet Pierre Bourgeois, of whom he made several portraits.
Both Pierre Bourgeois and Magritte entered the military service togther. Magritte first stint was from December 1920 until September 1921 then had another brief month in March 1922. He married Georgette in June 1922. Rene reportedly sold his first painting, a portrait of the singer Evelyne Brélia in 1923. Brelia later sang "Norine Blues," a song written by Paul Magritte with words by Rene and Georgette, at a large Norine gala.
Rene created his first really outstanding works which were characterized by Cubo-Futurist reminiscences and the presence of a very sensual representation in which women and colors are the dominant elements. He realised that resorting to abstraction has not enabled him to 'make reality manifest.' What he wanted to establish was a disturbing relationship between the world and objects as found in de Chirico's work from 1914-1918.
ELT Mesens, Dada and Surealism
René Magritte's Portrait of E.L.T. Mesens, Rene's friend and patron
In the 1930s E. L. T. Mesens (above) moved to England and by 1936 directed the London Gallery. He suggested that the English Surrealists had never been worth their salt anyway, having always abstained from such direct action as driving horses into theatre foyers on first nights of distasteful plays, or "letting off revolvers in the street while distributing leaflets." Here's a bio of Magritte's benefactor who once bought 150 of his paintings at one time!
Fellow Belgian ELT Mesens (Edouard Léon Théodore) (1903–1971) met Magritte in 1920 and became Magritte's close friend and eventual patron. Mesens started his artistic career as a musician influenced by Erik Satie (through Rene's recommendation, Mesens became Paul Magritte's piano teacher) and an author of dadaist poems. He was a publisher of the reviews (magazines) Œesophage and Marie, both with Magritte. His activity as one of the leaders of the surrealist movement in Belgium was eased by the fact that he was owner of a gallery, where he organised the first surrealist exhibition in Belgium in 1934. He also went to co-organize the London International Surrealist Exhibition in 1936 which made him settle down in London. There he became the director of the London Gallery (which he ran during the late 30s and after World War II with Roland Penrose) and the chief editor of the London Bulletin (1938-1940) - which was one of the most important bulletins among the English-language Surrealist periodicals. A biography of Mesens by George Melly, "Don't Tell Sybil: An Intimate Memoir of E.L.T. Mesens," was published in 1997.
Magritte and Mesens were involved in many avant-garde political movements. Dada was a reaction against the politics that lead to the First World War (1916) and remained a popular artistic movement until around 1924. Both men espoused Dadaism and shortly after they met in 1920 studied Marinetti's futurism pamphets. In late 1924 the Dada movement became aligned with Surrealism and Breton's publications in October 1924. Beside political influences, the psychoanalytical dogmas of both Freud (dreams and imagery) and Jung (collective unconscious) played an important role in the imagery of dreams that was the foundation of surrealism. Surrealist leader Andre Breton went to Vienna to secure backing for the surrealist movement from Frued but failed to do so.
By the end of 1924 Magritte and E. L. T. Mesens helped form a unified Belgian Surrealist group that included Paul Nougé, Camille Goemans, and Louis Scutenaire, an early chronicler of Magritte's art. The poet Paul Nougé became the interpreter for the Belgian group of Andre Breton's Surrealist Manifesto published in October 1924. The Surrealists, who included writers and composers too, overturned conventional notions by exercising their unconscious impulses for creative effect, and Magritte's paintings often took on a bizarre, dream-like quality. Working at a rapid rate, he investigated these new non-formalist concerns.
In August 1925 the leader of surrealism and writer of the surrealist manifesto Andre Breton visited the Belgian group. Breton was not sure of Magritte's role in the new group and Rene's seemingly ordinary illustrations and paintings. As his friend the poet Paul Nougé, Magritte remained attached to Belgian Surrealism but had differences with some of Breton's points regarding automatism and actualization. Despite Breton's reservations of Rene, he eventually accepted Magritte's work and bought several of his paintings in 1928.
Dadaistic and surrealistic poetry constituted an important artistic inspiration for Magritte. In 1925 Magritte co-operated the magazines Aesophage and Marie, together with E.L.T. Mesens, Jean Arp, Francis Picabia, Schwitters, Tzara and Man Ray. His close affinity with this group of Dadaists and their regard for De Chirico helped him decide that he will only paint objects with all their visible detail by placing them in situations which are unfamiliar to the spectator and he abandoned the qualities of pictorial art in favour of a realistic style. Blue Cinema, The Window and Nocturne is one of the first works to reveal this change of emphasis. The work Nocturne contains elements from the iconography that Magritte recognises for the first time and which he will use throughout his life: the painting within a painting, the bird in flight, the fire, the stage curtain and the use of the wooden bilboquet.
Above is Magrittes 1926 Norine Ad- note his use of the iconic bilboquet which appears in many paintings
Norine Commercial Work
Norine was run by a charismatic couple: the cultural and intellectual polymath Paul-Gustave Van Hecke, who became a patron of Magritte's art, and the grande couturière Honorine “Norine” Deschrijver. They established their couture business during World War I. For the first time, a Belgian couture house created its own designs instead of buying them from Paris, and offered an attractive and highly original local alternative. After the war, they became one of the most important couture houses in the country. Their avant-garde designs boldly transcended the modest conventionality of Belgium. The national and, to some extent, international artistic intelligentsia were their customers. The history of Belgian avant-garde fashion begins with Norine.
Magritte's 1924 Advertisment for Norine and Alpha-Romeo
According to one source: "Norine was a prominent representative of the Modernist movement in fashion. In fact, Van Hecke and Norine’s environment was entirely modern and was a hub of Surrealism and Expressionism: their private home, Van Hecke’s art galleries and journals and the couture house’s salons featured work by national and international contemporary artists. They firmly embedded art in fashion; this symbiosis with modern art gave their creations high art status. The couture house’s beautiful graphics were conceived by Belgian artists such as Frits Van den Berghe, Leon de Smet and—most importantly, by René Magritte. Also the techniques and imagery of modern art were literally incorporated into the house’s creations. Their signature dress of the second half of the 1920s, the “robe peinte” (painted dress) displayed hand-printed Art Deco motifs."
Magritte met Van Hecke through ELT Mesens who was Van Hecke's protege and his wife's lover. By 1924 Van Hecke began buying paintings from Rene and by the end of 1925 signed him to an exclusive contract provinding Rene with a monthly income. Van Hecke and later Mesens played important roles presenting Magritte's art and providing him with enough financial support to enable him to continue painting. By October 1926 Van Hecke reached an agreement with Galerie le Centaure; Magritte finally had a gallery to display his art.
Norine enjoyed its largest success during The Roaring 20s. Unfortunately Magritte's paid work at Norine was sporatic and he made few posters and designs. Funded at the expense of Van Hecke’s art business, the couture house survived the world economic crisis of the early 1930s. Even during World War II, they continued to be influential. The late 1940s saw the decline of Norine. After a persevering struggle for survival, the Van Heckes officially closed their couture house in 1952.
Magritte's Iconic Images
Magritte used many repeated images in his work. Because he worked as a stage or theatrical desiger, he painted many early pieces on a stage with curtains. Around 1924 he also worked doing fashion ads for Norine, hence the thin art deco figures and frequent use of mannequin like figures. He also adapted the mannequin figures from his idol, Giorgio de Chirico. In 1926 he created ads for Samuel Furriers and some paintings appeared wearing furs.
Other images he frequently used were manned ballons (from a childhood experience- also found in Giorgio de Chirico's work), the 'grelot', a spherical bell with a slit used, for example, on the harness of horses, and the bilboquet (see next section for details). He frequently used birds, eggs and apples as iconic images. By hiding or partially obscuring the object Magritte drew attention to the hidden meaning of that object. One icon he began using frequently in 1926 is the white cloth sheet which hides or partially obscures objects and people. In the late 1930s he began painting plants that morphed into birds (I call them- the war birds). Other iconic images include lions, statues (ala Venus de Milo), and bowler-hatted men (Fantomas).
Fantomas- Isidore Ducasse
The images and techniques of the movies were an influence on Magritte, especially the French film anti-hero Fantômas, a master of crime and disguise. Many of Magritte's works at this time, in keeping with Surrealist practices, disclosed a sinister side of human personality, as in Pleasure (1927) or The Threatened Assassin (1926-1927).
One main inspirational source for the Surrealists was the literature of Isidore Ducasse, alias the Comte de Lautréamont, who around 1870 had written that nothing is "as beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on a dissecting table." Later, in 1948, Magritte illustrated Lautréamont's complete works with 77 drawings which rivaled the text in strangeness.
Bilboquets
During the 1850's in Europe, bilbo catchers or bilboquets became quite the rage for entertainment. The one shown here is of similar design and the principle is like the ball and cup. On one end of the shaft, the ball is caught in a shallow depression, requiring considerably more practice than in the ball & cup shown above. On the other end of the shaft, the hole in the ball is stuck on the pointed "spike" of the shaft. For those that thing the action cannot be done, we watched an interpreter at a historic site succeeding about 60 percent of the time on the cup end and about one out of three times on the spike end.
Magritte Creates His First Surreal Painting 1926- The Use of Words
Around 1925 Magritte saw two books of poems by Paul Eluard, illustrated by Max Ernst's superb collages. Magritte began producing surreal collages ala Ernst adding his own repeated images (icons) like the balluster (also called a bilboquet: resembling a chess pawn or wooden table legs) and curtains. Whether some of these collages are his first surreal works is open for debate. Magritte frequently did a collage and a painting of the same subject in 1926.
He worked as an assistant designer in a wallpaper factory, and was a poster and advertisement designer until 1926 (Sylvester says it was late 1925), when a contract with Van Hecke and Galerie la Centaure in Brussels gave him a monthly salary that allowed him to paint full-time. Magritte called the collage, The Lost Jockey, done in 1926 his first Surrealist work. "The well-known bilboquets, for example, a form of baluster or oversize playing piece to which Max Ernst gave the beautiful, vivid name of "phallustrade", turn up again in the portrait of Georgette with Bilboquet , while the picture The Bather clearly demonstrates that Magritte had abandoned the Cubist technique in favour of a manner of creating pictures that was already fully Surrealist." [from an on-line source]
The Lost Jockey (Le jockey Perdu)- 1926 Collage version
The Lost Jockey (Le jockey Perdu)- 1942
In 1926, Magritte produced what he called his first surreal painting, The Lost Jockey (Le Jockey Perdu). Magritte made both a painting and collage, the collage is superior and usually the only published version. The collage contrasted oversized balasters (resembling chess pieces) with a horse and rider. The ballusters are alive with fresh branches growing from their trunks and are set on what resmebles a giant chess board. There is a curtain on the right as if the horse is riding across the stage. The second image above is the 1942 rendition, the earlier work (seen first) is the 1926 collage.
Magritte, Nouge and Mesens were part of the nihilist dada movement. Magritte's radical mind set from the 1920s can be best understood by this amusing quote, "I detest my past, and anyone else's. I detest resignation, patience, professional heroism and obligatory beautiful feelings. I also detest the decorative arts, folklore, advertising, voices making announcements, aerodynamism, boy scouts, the smell of moth balls, events of the moment, and drunken people."
"Magritte held his first one-man exhibit was in Brussels in 1927, and as it was with his contemporaries, his art drew the ire of the critics and the conservative art crowd. But what made Magritte's work so special was his incredible skill at painting realistic objects and figures. The critics could not deny his talent, nor could they dismiss his work as an exercise in "laisser-faire". Like De Chirico, and Dali, he was a true technician, and a technician with soul. What set him apart from the other surrealists was his technique of juxtaposing ordinary objects in an extraordinary way; while Dali would "melt" a watch, playing with the consistency of an object (amongst other things), Magritte would leave objects intact, but play with their placement in reality, playing with logic. This technique is sometimes called Magic Realism. Of course, what really upset the critics was that Magritte's art did not provide answers, but only confusion, and questions as to why..." History of Art
Samuels Furrier Company 1926
Magritte and Nouge designed advertising catalogues for the Samuels Furrier Company (the first for the 1926-27 season, the second for 1928 while he was living in Paris). Magritte supplied the images and Nouge the words. [According to Marcel Marien, the words for the first Samuels catalogue were done by Camille Goemans, not Nouge]. Magritte was drawn to the artist and Surrealist center, Paris. Magritte had a steady mothly income and he didn't need to stay in Brussels to paint. After his friends Goemans and Geert van Brauene moved to Paris the Magrittes made several exploratory trips looking for possible places to stay.
Paris 1927
After Magritte's first one-man show, in Brussels in 1927, was a critical failure, he and Georgette moved to Le Perreux-sur-Marne, a suburb of Paris. Thye were unable to find a satisfactory location in the city itself. When he wasn't painting Rene began spending his time with Camille Goemans, his friend from Brussels had moved to Paris and entered the art trade with Geert van Bruaene. They began selling Magrittes and introduced him to Joan Miro, Jean Arp and Max Ernst. Magritte was still under contract with Van Hecke but still managed to slip some paintings to Goemans.
Rene, who was moved by Paul Eluard's poetry in 1925 befriended Eluard and eventually André Breton, spokesman for the movement. It was Goemans and Nouge influence that finally led to Magritte's acceptance in 1928 and Breton's acknowledgement of Magritte as a surrealist (Breton also purchased several paintings from Magritte). In 1928 Goemans and Nouge launched the review, "Distances" and Magritte illustrated some the surrealist writing of Goemans. In March 1929 he published with Magritte a series of five leaflets, Le Sens Propre (The Proper Meaning), with poems by Goemans based on the paintings and illustrations of Magritte. Goemans and Nouge helped Magritte title many of his paintings at that time. Titles were very important to Magritte and they were almost always added after the painting was completed. Magritte would mull over different ideas from his friends eventally deciding on the perfect title to add even more mystery to his image. Magritte loved verbal puns as titles as well as references to cultural, philosophical and literary figures.
By July 1929 Magritte had broken his contract agreement with Van Hecke and was waiting on Camille Goeman's new gallery to open. Goemans had a backer and was signing up artists. That summer Goemans and a friend, Yvonne Bernard, as well as René Magritte and his wife, Luis Buñuel, Paul Eluard and Gala, and the couple’s daughter Cécile headed south to Cadaqués for a month long vacation.
Salvadore Dali was in residence at his family's summer house a few miles away in Figuras [contrary to most reposts they did not stay at Dali's residence]. The Magrittes had become acquainted with Dali at Goemans' apartment while Dali stayed in Paris. During an outing, Eluard and Goemans teased Magritte about his strong Walloon accent and tried to persuade him to change it. This became a sore spot for Magritte and led to his later rejection of the Parisian art world with his 1948 "vache" period. Magritte painted "Threatening Weather" while in Cadaqués. Gala Eluard stayed with Dali after the others returned to Paris.
By 1929 Magritte was an official member of Breton's inner circle and two of his paintings and one drawing were reproduced in "Le Surrealism en 1929." Besides his drawings Magritte contributed his article "Words and Images" (Les Mots et les Images) to the final issue of Breton's "La Revolution Surrealist." His painting, The Hidden Woman, was used for its famous cover which shows a photo montage of the leading members with their eyes closed (below).
I Do Not See the (Woman) Hidden in the Forest- Cover featuring Magritte's "Hidden Woman"
This final issue contained Breton's Second Surrealist Manifesto. Magritte's photo is on the right column, second from the bottom. Magritte had a rocky relationship with Breton over the years and generally disregarded Breton's Fruedean interpretations.
"Psychoanalysis has nothing to say, not even about works of art, which evoke the mystery of the world," said Magritte. "Perhaps psychoanalysis itself represents the best case for psychoanalysis." Magritte regarded it as a pseudo-science of the unconscious, a criminological and ideological starting point. As Michel Foucault - with whom Magritte had an interesting and instructive correspondence in the 1960s - succinctly explained, psychoanalysis aims at finally confirming existential repression by restricting desire to the family triangle, to the legally legitimized married couple.
In psychoanalysis, love always means Daddy, Mummy and me! Magritte was his own Surrealist once writing: "Happy is he who betrays his own convictions for the love of a woman." He opposed Freud's theses, automatist experiences based upon the power of the unconscious, and everything that all too often in the circle around Andre Breton, the artist, threatened to become dogma and law. It was unavoidable that those artists who were obviously permeated by Surrealism would be excluded sooner or later from the Surrealist movement. Andre Masson had realized this, and himself demanded his own exclusion. Breton's reply to this was remarkable: "Why? I have never exerted any pressure upon you." "Proof, retorted Masson, "that you have exerted it upon others." Magritte, for his part, to whom Breton had written indignantly in the late 1940s, "Your dialectics and your Surrealism enplein soleil are threadbare", answered, "Sorry, Breton, but the invisible thread is on your bobbin."
Words as Images
While in Paris Magritte had started using written words on his canvases. According to David Sylvester over 20% of his paintings (over 40 paintings) done in Paris were word-paintings. The first series of word paintings included his 1927 masterpiece "The Interpretation of Dreams." His most famous word painting "The Treachery of Images" (Treason of Images) was probably done in the spring of 1929.
Magritte did a drawing of the idea in January 1929. Biographer Sylvester suggests the idea may have come from Le Corusier's photo of a profile captioned "Co-operative: The Pipe." The joke may have come from a placard Geert van Brauene displayed in the Brussels Galerie du Parlement: "This is Not Art."
Magritte painted below his pipe "This is not a pipe" (Ceci n'est pas une pipe), which seems a contradiction, but is actually true: the painting is not a pipe, it is an image of a pipe. When Magritte once was asked about this image, he replied, "Of course it was not a pipe, just try to fill it with tobacco."
Magritte used the same approach in a painting of an apple: he painted the fruit realistically and then used an internal caption or framing device to deny that the item was an apple. In these Ceci n'est pas works, Magritte points out that no matter how closely art comes to depicting an item realistically, it is never the item itself.
The Break From Paris-The incident with Breton- 1929
On Dec. 14th, 1929 Magritte and Georgette were attending a dinner party at Andre Breton's house, when Breton made a comment about a cross Georgette wore around her neck, a family keepsake. According to legend Breton (there are different versions of this event) asked that she remove the cross. The Magritte's quickly left the party and the incident cause a riff between them and Breton. This incident isolated them from the Paris surrealists and the Magritte's moved back to Brussells six month later. This version has been reported over the years by various authors including Suzi Gablik and Pollizotti [and is confirmed by Sylvester]. This minor mishap may have been the final stone in the strained relationship between Breton and the Magrittes. The Belgium group led by Paul Nouge although tied to the Paris group differed in ideology especially in regard to automatic writing and painting. The Magritte's friendship with Eluard whose wife Gala left him for Dali also helped deepen the riff between the Magrittes and the Parisian group since Dali was now becoming a central figure.
Here's a different account of the December 14th incident from History of Art: One evening, when Georgette and Rene Magritte were in a taxi with Paul Eluard on their way to a meeting of the Surrealist group, Eluard drew Georgette's attention to the small golden cross which she was wearing around her neck, advising her to hide it since Breton would be sure to take offence at it. She refused, and "The Pope" [Breton] indeed made reference to the un-Surrealist character of the object, prompting Magritte to decide that he and his wife would forthwith stay away from these meetings. The whole affair had blown over by the next day, however, and the Magrittes continued to attend the gatherings, along with Breton, Dali, Miro, Max Ernst and the others, while Georgette went on wearing the keepsake from her mother around her neck. With regard to relations within the group, persistent legends occasionally have a tendency to magnify small, harmless disagreements out of all proportion."
Magritte still remained in Paris waiting to have a one-man exhibition at Goemans in the Spring. The problem was Paris was in the midst of recession after the 1929 collapse on Wall Street. The effect of the economic crisis became all too apparent to the artist when his friend Camille Goemans was forced to close his Paris gallery in April 1930. Goemans was homeless and was forced to stay with the Magrittes until May when he returned to Brussels.
Many collectors and galleries became bankrupt. Magritte no longer has a steady income from Van Hecke and Georgette wanted to go home. Discouraged, Magritte waited until he rasied the money (he sold eleven paintings to Mesens) then in July the Magritte's returned to Brussels.
135 Esseghem Street, Jette (outskirts of Brussels)- July 1930
After Rene Magritte and his wife Georgette moved back to Belgium they eventually settled at 135 Esseghem Street, a ground floor apartment, where they would live for over two decades. When they arrived in 1930, the artist was 32, and stayed until 1954 when they moved to Schaerbeek, a suburb to the east of Jette. Magritte had spent three productive years in Paris and had met and working with the leading members of the surrealist movement, such as Andre Breton and Salvador Dali.
Jette is now squeezed between the district of Heysel, with its stadium, and the "royal" suburb of Laeken (so called because it's the Belgian royal family's here, a splendid palace closed to the public). But in the 1930s, it was on the edge of the countryside. Magritte made his home here in order to be close to his brother, Paul, a pianist, and to his wife's sister and brother-in-law. He rented the ground-floor flat in order to have a garden for his dogs. In the back he made use of the space to build a studio. From here, he and his brother Paul ran their own advertising company, Studio Dongo. They produced illustrations, advertising artwork and covers for musical scores as a means of making money while Magritte was selling few of his paintings.
The decorative taste in the house, which is now the Rene Magritte museum, reflects Magritte's love of colour, with walls of pink and green, and a wardrobe and wooden chest, both designed by Magritte and painted bright red. Magritte made extensive use of his surroundings when he painted. The fireplace, the doors separating the sitting room from the bedroom, the windows at the front of the house, all feature in his paintings. The staircase was used, too, although in real life, unlike art, it leads to the floor above rather than coming to an abrupt halt.
The years spent in Jette were among Magritte's most prolific, and artistically his most creative, even though he met with little financial success. He painted half of his 1,600 canvases in the modest dining room that doubled up as his studio, and was also the centre of the Belgian surrealist movement.
Studio Dongo 1931-1935
Magritte was back in Brussels by the end of July 1930. The small amount of money he received from Mesens to move back to Brussels had evaporated but they were back among family and friends. These were the difficult Great Depression years (1930-1935) and Rene and his brother Paul soon set up an advertising company, Studio Dongo, named after Fabrice Del Dongo.
Advertising soon turned into a full-time professional activity but the ads were secondary: Magritte took it up only because of his financial difficulty. Unfortunately, some of Magritte’s projects were rejected, and he destroyed some of his work himself. Frustrated, he suffered from depression and began to hate his advertising job.
The Studio Dongo advertisements faithfully follow the rules of advertising: their messages are neutral and simple. Magritte’s only concern was for efficacy, transparency, and clarity, and this is reflected in the simplicity of the ads, which simply feature the name of the brand and an illustration.
It was in the dining room-studio that he painted most of the time and where he created nearly half of all his paintings and gouaches. It was in this modest room that Magritte’s most creative period took place, which led to many masterworks. And that's why several elements of the house are integrated in the painter’s works.
The Rene Magritte Museum
The 135, Esseghem Street, now a museum, was also the headquarter of the Belgian surrealists. The painter’s friends met here weekly and organized all kinds of performances. These meetings resulted into many subversive activities, books, magazines and tracts. It was in this house that Magritte knew his “Renoir” period, his “Vache” period and negotiations regarding exhibitions in museums. All these activities are illustrated on the first and second floors of the museum by original works, documents, objects, letters and photos. On the third floor, one can have a view of the painter’s attic. Besides, some 30 drawings, gouaches, paintings of Magritte punctuate the journey, among which "Olympia", "La lampe d'Aladin" or "Lola de Valence", one of the best pieces of his "période vache".
This house which Magritte left in 1954 was restored between 1993 and 1999 and became a museum to pay a permanent homage to one of the most brilliant artists of all time.
Magritte's Paintings 1930s
Although Magritte exhibited twice at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels in the 1930s (a one-man show of 59 works in 1933, followed by a group show with Man Ray and Yves Tanguy in 1937), he was temporarily left without a commercial outlet for his paintings after the closure of Le Centaure in 1930. The gallery’s stock of 150 recent paintings by Magritte was purchased by his old friend E. L. T. Mesens.
In 1933, Magritte defined his artist intentions by stating that the primary aim of his work from that point on would be to reveal the hidden and often personal affinities between objects, rather than juxtaposing unrelated objects. He continued to remain in contact with Breton and Eluard in Paris, contributing to the final two issues of "Le Surrealisme" and remained associated with surrealism in general throughout his career.
Soon Magritte's output increased due to the sponsorship of Claude Spaak, who he met in 1931. Spaak was a playwright, but had also been an active collector of Magritte's paintings for some time. In 1935, he made a semi-formal arrangement to allow Magritte to abandon commercial work and focus fully on his own artistic output. To this end, he provided the artist a monthly stipend, while also guaranteeing the paintings he produced. In addition to this, Spaak actively sought other sponsors for Magritte.
When Edward James took over Magritte's Dongo Studio company around 1936, Magritte quit and devoted himself entirely to painting. Thanks to his English patron and ELT Mesens' London exhibits, Magritte’s art came to be recognized internationally. Consequently, when companies began to contact Magritte, it was the not the advertiser they wanted to hire; they were after the painter. It isn't surprising to find that some of the Belgian artist’s ads were inspired directly by his canvases. For example, the design used for a New York perfume company, Mem, is an elaborate version of his painting La clef des songes.
Although he admired de Chirico, who found poetry in the combination of normally unrelated objects, Magritte preferred to examine unexpected encounters between objects already in some way associated with each other. In the winter of 1932–3, for instance, he painted a birdcage containing an enormous egg, titling it Elective Affinities (priv. col.; see Waldberg, p. 228), after Goethe’s novel Die Wahlverwandtschaften (1809). Often taking his titles from literature, films and musical scores on the completion of the picture, he invited friends, notably the writers Paul Nougé and Louis Scutenaire, to make suggestions.
While the titles of his first Surrealistic paintings maintained a certain logic in relation to the imagery, from the 1930s words and images gradually acquired greater independence from each other, often retaining only an associative link. For example, he entitled a miniature reproduction in plaster of the Venus de Milo, a torso admired as the expression of feminine beauty in spite of the fact that it has no arms, the Copper Handcuffs (h. 370 mm, 1936; Paris, Charles Ratton priv. col.; see 1978–9 exh. cat., no. 200). Magritte continued to make frequent use of abstract forms, particularly in paintings that included texts, such as Bel Canto (1938; priv. col.; see Waldberg, p. 166), until the late 1930s. As a means of broadening the range of association, he sometimes represented an object undergoing metamorphosis into something else, as in the Red Model (1935; e.g. Stockholm, Mod. Mus.; Paris, Pompidou), in which the pointed toes of a pair of boots become the toes themselves. Such strategies, drawing attention to the relationship between inanimate and living objects, were similar to those employed by other Surrealists
The Human Condition, 1935- The Painting Within a Painting
The Human Condition- 1935
Magritte challenges the difficulty of artwork to convey meaning with a recurring motif of a painting on an easel (painting within a painting), as found in his La Belle Captive series (from 1931) and his The Human Condition series (1933, 1935). The ideas for the "painting within a painting" probably came from De Chirico's 1917 Great Metaphysical Interior and also his studies at the Art Academy. He began experimenting with the "painting within a painting" as early as 1925 but didn't use the same image. His early "painting within a painting" used the painting as a separate reality- an open door to another dimension.
Later his The Promenades of Euclid (Where Euclid Walked- 1955) features the spires of a castle are "painted" upon the ordinary streets outside the window the canvas overlooks. He wrote to André Breton about The Human Condition that it was irrelevant if the scene behind the easel was different than what was depicted upon it, "but the main thing was to eliminate the difference between a view seen from outside and from inside a room." The windows in these pictures are framed with heavy drapes, suggesting a theatrical motif. Just as theatre reflects our lives, or ideal replications of our lives, to an audience simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar with the situation, so does Magritte's artwork.
London
Edward James was an eccentric poet, collector, and patron of both Dalí and Magritte. In 1935 James visited Salvador and Gala at their home in Catalonia. Dali was invited to London to help decorate the Monkton house in Chelsea with surreal furnishings and paintings. Through an introduction from Dali, Magritte also was consulted about the interior designs. The famous lobster telephone came from James collaborations at that time. James remained an important supporter and collector of Magritte's work and Magritte stayed at his house on several occasions in London.
Man Ray exhibited with Magritte in Trois peintures surrealistes: Rene Magritte, Man Ray, Yves Tanguy at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, December 1937. ELT Mesens moved to London and on April 1, 1938 the London Gallery reopened under his directorship. Mesens managed to organize solo exhibitions at the Gallery for many of his surrealist friends including Magritte. Mesens gallery mission statement read "painters of the surrealist movement will be the principle feature of this gallery."
The first Surrealist Exhibition took place in London in July 1936. In 1937 Magritte was visited back to London by James to add surreal elements to his house on Wimpole St. The paintings by Magritte included La Modele Rouge II, La Jeunesse Illustre, and two portraits of James, one of which was La Reproduction Interdite.
1939-1940 Marital Difficulties- World War II Approaches
On his trips to London to visit James and Mesens to prepare for his exhibitions, Rene had an affair with the young surrealist model known as the "Surrealist Phantom" of 1936, the artist Sheila Legg (in her mid-20s), who posed for surrealist events with Dali and others and was one of the most photographed surrealist woman at the time. Apparently this started in March 1937. As a result, Magritte made several visits to London in order to work in connection with Legg. According to one source: "Magritte, in fact, fell in love with her."
A 1936 Time Magaszine article reported: [Highlight of the exhibition was Artist Salvador Dali's living design, Phantom of Sex Appeal, for which Artist Sheila Legge solemnly glided through the crowded, stuffy gallery in a tight white satin gown, her head in a wire cage covered with pink paper rosebuds, a facsimile female leg in her hand. She had substituted the leg for a pork chop as prescribed by Artist Dali.
"That get-up," a bystander whispered, "must be very hot." "Very," admitted Phantom Legge.]
Legge, who was very hot in more ways than one, was also pursued by ELT Mesens, close friend of Magritte and Director of the London Gallery. Mesens wanted her to be his secretary.
Magritte still loved Georgette deeply and did not want to hurt her or arouse her suspicions. He arranged for his friend, Paul Colinet (1898-1957) a Belgian surrealist poet, to spend time with Georgette and keep her entertained while Rene was away. During one of his London trips, Georgette and Paul Colinet had an affair. Georgette, much to everyone's astonishment, pursued her affair and at one point asked Rene for a divorce. David Sylvester, Magritte's biographer and cataloguer, reported that Magritte made a scene when he confronted Georgette with the aide of a policeman.
Rene Magritte fled Brussels and his marital problems for France in May 1940, five days after German troops invaded Belgium and Holland. Georgette did not go with him. Magritte spent three months in Carcassonne, France,
with Paul Eluard and Scutenaire. When conditions allowed, Magritte returned to Brussels and reconciled with Georgette. At this point Magritte became depressed and experimented with different styles to escape his emotional demons and the German occupation of his country.
1940s- A Time of Change- "Sunlit Period" 1943
In order to show the Nazi aggression in Europe and the coming World War, Magritte continued a series of paintings that began with the 1937 The Black Flag (Le Drapeu Noir) and The present (Le présent) 1939. His 1940 painting, Homesickness, surely is a reflection on the problems he had experienced and the Nazi occupation. In 1942 he began paint the leaf-birds which we see in two works from 1942, Treasure Island and The Companions of Fear.
Treasure Island- 1942; featuring The War Birds
Within a year he became obsessed by a reproduction of Pierre Auguste Renoir's Bathers which started his impressionistic transformation. His new style was called "Surrealism in full sunlight" (Torczyner 186) or the "Sunlit" (also "Renoir") period.
Enticed by the sensuality of the colors, he opted for a more luminous palette. His objects and figures were looser lacking the meticulousness detail for which he was known, unleashing color in new, warmer and more cheerful tonalities. The evocative titles are The First Day (Le Premier jour), The Harvest (La Moisson) and The Goad (L' Aiguinon).
Marcel Mariën elaborated on this work of Magritte:
"Fired with enthusiasm, Magritte immediately went on to make other versions, including ‘The dance’ (a standing nude), and ‘The harvest’ (a reclining nude), and then concluded the experiment by taking the solution to its peak of refinement, since he performed the same transformation on Ingres’s La Source, an ‘academic’ representation if ever there was one, by not only adorning the young girl’s body with different colours, but by re-creating the whole picture according to the technique of the Impressionists! And Nougé, who had already supplied the titles for the previous versions, was to name this last experiment, the subversive profundity of which remains as usual unnoticed by everyone else: Monsieur Ingres’s good days."
Perhaps of more significance to the history of Belgian Surrealism, though, is that Marcel Marien was responsible for the first monograph on Magritte, published in 1943, and for the subsequent study on the artist, Les Corrections naturelles, which appeared in 1947. Marien also claimed that during this time because of the bleak economic times, painted forgeries of the works of other masters and that Marcel sold some of these paintings (the claim has not been documented).
In the 1940s Magritte again joined the communist party, which he had joined for the third time. Magritte's political involvement was based essentially upon his spirit of opposition. All of his poster designs were rejected on principle by the party leadership, and he could not bear having to subordinate his art to an ideological party line, even one so broadly conceived. "There is no more reason for art to be Walloon than for it to be vegetarian", was his reply to those seeking to enlist him for exhibitions aimed at demonstrating regionalist interests. Ultimately, his sole, his real banner was the mystery inherent in objects, in the world, that mystery which belongs to everyone and to no one.
September 1944: Brussels Liberated
The Belgium capital of Brussels was liberated by Allied forces on September 3, 1944. The Allies liberated the Belgium port of Antwerp, an important port. Magritte's Applied Dialectics (Lo Dialectique appliquee) 1944-1945 is one of the few paintings that directly deals with the war. Most of his paintings like his Treasure Island series use the symbolic war birds to imply German aggression.
The first three paintings are from the 1942 period, then it's clear his style has changed. In 1945 he began to do paintings in his old style as well. His manifesto Surrealism in full sunlight, which he concocted in 1946 with the complicity of Marcel Mariën, Paul Nougé, Louis Scutenaire, Joë Bousquet, Jacques Michel and Jacques Wergifosse, a prelude to the manifestoes of extramentalism and amentalism, is an instrument of warfare directed against the magic, esoteric ideology into which André Breton had strayed. “We have neither the time nor the taste to play at Surrealist art, we have a huge task ahead of us, we must imagine charming objects which will awaken what is left within us of the instinct to pleasure.”
The riff began when Magritte accompanied by Marcel Marien went to Paris in 1946 to meet with Breton to show his new work. Breton was not impressed and his close friend ELT Mesens didn't approve of his new "sunlit period" which Magritte argued was "the need in this post-war world to emgere from darkness." [Sylvester p. 208] Magritee added, "Against the general pessimism I uphold the quest for joy and pleasure."
Breton replied in a letter, "I can assure you that not one of your latest pictures gives me the impression of sunlight (Renir, yes)..." To justify his change in direction Magritte wrote "Le Sureallisme en plein soleil" and circulated the draft to various surrealists for support. Later in 1946 Breton published a list of the various surrealist painters and left Magritte off the list- he later listed Magritte as one of the "surrealists despite themselves."
In 1946 Magritte issued his manifesto Surrealism in full sunlight, saying, “We have neither the time nor the taste to play at Surrealist art, we have a huge task ahead of us, we must imagine charming objects which will awaken what is left within us of the instinct to pleasure.” Clearly Magritte was trying to justify the detour from his sucessful painterly style.
Although his "sunlit" Renior styled paintings began in 1943, all his work was not impressionist. At the start of 1947 Margritte was painting in both his realist style and his impressionist style. Some of his works (Intelligence; A Thousand and One Nights) were already headed toward more extreme colors. This extreme style, closer to some of Van Gogh works, would accelerate in late 1947 when he was invited to hold his first solo exhibition in Paris at the Galerie du Faubourg in May 1948. He had waited twenty years to do a solo show in Paris and was resentful at the lack of appreciation that he felt the Parisian surrealists gave him. Magritte wrote at the time: "The paintings of Picabia should not make us dream of the revelations to be gleaned from coffee dregs, or prophesies..."
Alexander Iolas 1947
Then in 1947 Alexander Iolas, who became Magritte's principal dealer in the United States, successfully exhibited the artist's work in New York. Iolas then suggested that Magritte forget Renoir and sunlight to focus his output on images which overwhelmingly appealed to the public, like Treasure Island.
ELT Mesens helped organize the American exhibits with Iolas through a series of letters starting in 1946. Alexander Iolas (1907-1987) was born in Alexandria, Egypt, on March 25, 1907, to Andreas and Persephone Coutsoudis, who were Greek. In 1924, he went to Berlin as a pianist, and later became a ballet dancer who toured extensively with the Theodora Roosevelt Company and later with the company formed by the Marquis de Cuevas. In the 1940s, he ran a gallery in New York City promoting Max Enrst, Andy Warhol, Matta, Victor Brauner, Joseph Cornell, Yves Klein and Niki de Saint-Phalle. He also had galleries in Paris, Milan and Geneva. Although he promoted new work by unknown artists, Iolas was able to reassure the potential clients with his magnetic personality; his sharp dress and mischievous and sometimes irresistible charm.
Magritte's "Vache" Period 1947-1948
With some international recognition and success through Alexander Iolas, Magritte was not impressed by his invitation to hold his one man show at the Galerie du Faubourg, Paris. As a joke concocted by Magritte and his friends, Rene painted a series of hilarious pictures to exert a bit of revenge upon the Paris art world. Magritte experimented with a brash Fauve-inspired style in late 1947 dubbed "Vache" (literally, cow), which he premiered at an exhibition at the Galerie du Faubourg in Paris the next year.
According to Bernard Marcadé: "In French, the term vache is used for an excessively fat woman, or a soft, lazy person. An unpleasant person is described as a peau de vache (cow-skin); amour vache (cow-love) refers to a relationship more physical than emotional. It thus treads a line between vulgarity and coarseness, and that is what characterises this set of paintings and gouaches, representing a radical departure from the painter’s neutral, detached style which had finally been accepted by Parisian Surrealist orthodoxy. Overall, the striking thing about these works is their garish tones, their exuberant, grotesque and caricatured subjects, all executed rapidly and casually in the name of a freedom from aesthetic and moral injunctions and prescriptions."
Paris Exhibit: May, 1948
"The exhibition was accompanied by a small catalogue with a preface by the poet Louis Scutenaire, bearing an evocative title (“ 9been putLes pieds dans le plat” – Putting one’s foot in it) and written in a slangy style, which is clearly in line with Magritte’s intentions. Moreover, Scutenaire would admit as much some years later: “The important thing was not to enchant the Parisians, but outrage them.” The triviality of the works actually wrong-foots Surrealist good taste. Both text and images are placed on a deliberately rustic and provincial register. “We’d been fed-up for a good long time, we had (been put), deep in our forests, in our green pastures.” Traditionally, the Belgians are seen as coarse peasants by the French, including the intellectuals." [Bernard Marcadé]
"The tone is set. Scut’ and Mag’ (their signatures, indicating their friendship and complicity) have decided to turn this exhibition into a kind of explosive manifesto against the arrogance and pedantry of the sycophants of the ideology advocated by André Breton. “The moment had come to strike a great blow,” Scutenaire would explain in retrospect. The two associates laid it on the line, The works shown in Paris joyfully mix comedy, viciousness and coarseness of the most scatological kind. In this respect they continue the visual counterpart to the three tracts that Magritte published in 1946 along with Marcel Mariën (The Imbecile, The Pain in the Arse, The Sod), in which one could already read a supreme contempt for all kinds of convention. Pictorial Content is probably the painting in the series which best allegorises Magritte’s desire to attack the pictorial practices with which he himself had engaged up until that point. It is no longer resemblance that is brought to the fore here, but an excess of distortion and a stridency of colour." Bernard Marcadé
I'm sure his Belgian group had a laugh at the outrageous paintings he produced for the show. Using the broad strokes and colors of Van Gogh he churned out a series of unsual paintings, some outrageous. The show in May at the Galerie du Faubourg was a failure, the French were not pleased. At the suggestion of his wife, Georgette and his principal dealer in the United States, Alexander Iolas, Magritte decides to abandon his "experiment" and return to his realistic style of the 1930s.
After signing a contract in 1948 with Alexandre Iolas, the New York dealer who would remained his agent until Rene's death, Magritte dedicated himself to producing the type of mysterious works that he would eventually lead to his international fame.
After Vache 1949
Magritte completed Megalomania in 1948 which reveals similarities with The Marches of Summer (1938-1939): a female torso (now in three parts), weightless cubes, blue sky with clouds and a parapet. The Domain of Arnheim, a work originally painted in 1936 is repainted in 1949 using the broken window illusion. Magritte enjoys the game of juxtaposing and manipulating motifs. An image could exercise such powers of seduction that the painter felt compelled to reproduce it many times. Rather than falling into repetitive indifference, he excels in revisiting work in this way. Nowhere is this more evident than in 1949 The Dominion of Light, an evocation of the simultaneous presence of day and night, a magnetization of the contradictions dear to the Surrealists. There are sixteen versions of this work.
In 1949 he published thè manifesto "Le Vrai Art de la peinture," in which he wrote, "The perfect painting produces an immense effect only for a very short time," and "The art of painting is an art of thinking, whose existence underlines the importance of the role held in life by the eyes of the human body' (translation - Modern Art, Thames and Hudson 1974). Central to Magritte's art is his conviction that the role of painting is not to represent but to stimulate a reaction at an altogether deeper level.
1950s
During the period of 1950-1960 Magritte produced some of his most important works. In 1949 he started his casket series "Perspective: The Balcony By Manet" and followed with "Madame Recamier de David." in this series he copied the masters paintings exactly replacing the human figures with caskets. At his art dealer Iolas urging he continued painting different versions of his early paintings including the 1949 version of The Domain of Arnheim. he produced many versions of his most famous painting "Empire of lights" beginning in 1949.
By 1950 he started his petrification (turning live objects into stone) paintings including The Given Word (La Parole Donnee) The Wasted Footsteps, The Song of Violet, The Magic Potion (Le Philtre) and first "Memory of a Journey" painting. The entire scenes are petrified and according to Magritte "only the light of the candle is real." In 1953 he began to be identified by his bowler-hatted figures with his La Golconde, featuring bowler-hatted men raining from the sky. The early 1950s saw the "Art of Conversation" series with giant block letters and his "oversized everyday objects" series with the 1952 "Personal Values." Another series started in the 1950s was his "defiance of gravity" series found in the Battle of Argonne and other 1950s works. Multiplication (repeated objects) was an important effect in Magritte's paintings including Spontaneous Generation, Golconda, The Golden Legend and The Month of the Grape Harvest.
In October 1957 Magritte met Harry Torczyner (1910-1998), a Belgian lawyer based in New York who was interested in poetry and art. Torczyner became Magritte's patron, friend and adviser for the rest of Rene's life. Around the same time (1956) Magritte met Barnet Hodes, a successful Chicago lawyer with a keen interest in Surrealism and in collecting, who over the next ten years was his patron. Hodes commissioned sixty small gouches of Magritte's early work. Magritte eventually secured a contract with Alexander Iolas to the main body of his production in exchange for an annual stipend. With his financial prospects secure, the Magrittes moved to 97, rue des Mimosas, Brussels-Schaerbeek in 1957, where he remained until his death.
In the 1950s Magritte also took on a number of major mural commissions. In 1951 at the Theatre Royal des Galeries Saint-Hubert in Brussels he painted the ceiling with a blue sky filled with white clouds and his favorite icons, blue bells (grelots) inside of a large pink border. The mural is reminiscent of his The Curse (Malediction) sky-blue with clouds paintings. The next major commission was a giant mural in eight panels for the Casino at Knocke-le-Zoute, 1951-1953 titled "The Enchanted Realm" which was a recreation of many of his most famous paintings icons and images. Magritte produced eigth model oil paintings (see all below) and images of the eight paintings were reproduced beginning on July 4 by a team of painters under Magritte's supervision. In 1957 he created a version of "La Fée ignorante" (The Ignorant Fairy) from his 1950 painting of the same name which appears the Hall of Congress of the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Charleroi (1957). In 1961 he designed a mural for Palais de Crogress titled "les barracade mystereouses."
Magritte's fame was on the rise; he was given major retrospective exhibitions in Brussels (1954) and in 1956 he was awarded the Guggenheim Prize for Belgium.
Later Years 1960-67
By 1960 Rene Magritte was an internationally acclaimed artist. He was identified by his paintings of bowler hated men, a personae of his hero Fantamas that he created when he was a young radical. Magritte still considered himself to be a secret agent, a mysterious figure identified by his dark attire and bowler hat. His hobbies were amateur cinematography and chess, and he enjoyed taking walks with his wife and his dog, Lou-Lou. Now 63 he said, "I'm getting older; I get toothaches and headaches, and there's nothing I can do about it." Magritte lived in a comfortable unbohemian house near Brussels, quietly damning a good deal of what other artists were doing. Although famous, his paintings did not command the high prices in the 1960s as some other leading surrealist artists like Dali.
In 1961 he continued doing murals and designed a mural for Palais de Crogress titled "Les Barracade Mystereouses." Around this time he began doing limited editions lithographs. With sales from his lithographs and paintings he was finally financially secure he said, "I have everything I need." Magritte painted regularly until his death. Around 1963 he discovered he had cancer and his health began to fail. He traveled with Georgette spending some time in Ischia, Italy, in April 1965. Despite his health problems in 1965, the Magrittes took their first trip to the U.S.A. on the occasion of the retrospective held at the Museum of Modern Art of New York.
Magritte refered to his work of this latest period (1958-1965) as his 'found children'. The iconographic elements, between them, in a reverting manner, finished by binding everything together in the last ten years of Magritte's life. In 1966 he spends Christmas and New Year's Eve in Cannes, with his beloved Georgette, and in 1967, he has a retrospective in Rotterdam, Holland, and an exhibit at the Iolas Gallery in Paris. In early 1967, after a personal exhibition in Paris, René Magritte undertook the making of eight sculptures. But he didn't have the time to see his works cast into bronze; he indeed died of pancreatic cancer at his home on August 15, 1967, eleven days after the opening of a retrospective of his works at the Boijmans-van Beuningen Museum of Rotterdam.
Rene Magritte, two months before his death, wrote Sarane Alexandrian a splendid letter in which he said: "I conceive of the art of painting as the science of juxtaposing colours in such a way that their actual appearance disappears and lets a poetic image emerge. . . . There are no "subjects", no "themes" in my painting. It is a matter of imagining images whose poetry restores to what is known that which is absolutely unknown and unknowable."
Magritte continued painting until 1967, the year of his death, leaving an unfinished painting (below- see last painting) on his easel. The work had been commissioned by a young German collector from Cologne, who wanted "something in the nature of Empire of the Lights; he was destined never to take possession of the picture he had ordered. The uncompleted painting would remain on its easel in the painter's house in Brussels until the death of Rene's beloved Georgette in 1986.
Magritte's last unfinished painting: The Empire of the Lights- 1967
Popular interest in Magritte's work rose considerably in the 1960s, and his imagery has influenced pop, minimalist and conceptual art. In 2005 he came 9th in the Walloon version of De Grootste Belg (The Greatest Belgian); in the Flemish version he was 18th.
René Magritte described his paintings by saying, "My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question, "What does that mean?" It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable."
Titles
The influence of the Fantomas figure also played a significant role in Magritte's selection of titles for his pictures. Patrick Waldberg has been able to provide evidence of the considerable importance of the titles of Magritte's pictures within his work as a whole, where their purpose may be seen as providing a counterpoint to realistic perception. For instance, the woman in the feathered hat, her face hidden by a bunch of violets, should be seen as The Great War, as an incessant conflict with that which is visible, where each object always hides another. In revealing itself, an object simultaneously conceals itself, thereby functioning as the curtain for another. Magritte was always deeply conscious of this tightrope walk between revelation and masking. Things have a flip side, a reverse, which is even more curious and fascinating than their manifested form, the facade presented to everyone, their face; and it was this reverse, this dark side, which Magritte so subtly captured and rendered visible, in defiance of all logic. Accordingly, the titles of his pictures never serve to describe or identify. On the contrary, they bring some additional infringement, some further false trail, into play, the function of which is to create a confrontation within language and the logic of words, one analogous to the confrontation arising out of the painted picture. Magritte's work is certainly representational, and yet, at the same time, it constitutes an incessant attack upon the principle of reproduction in art. What his figures thereby lose in identity, they gain in mystery and otherness. Mystery finds its way into the everyday in Magritte's art, while subversive thought becomes gentle custom. Joy is constant; every moment is a festival.
In Popular Culture
The 1960s brought a great increase in public awareness of Magritte's work. One of the means by which his imagery became familiar to a wider public was through reproduction on rock album covers; early examples include the 1969 album Beck-Ola by the Jeff Beck group (reproducing Magritte's The Listening Room), Jackson Browne's 1974 album, Late for the Sky, with artwork inspired by Magritte's L'Empire des Lumières, and the Firesign Theatre's album Just Folks . . . A Firesign Chat based on The Mysteries of the Horizon. Alan Hull of UK folk-rock band Lindisfarne used Magritte's paintings on two solo albums in 1973 and 1979. Styx adapted Magritte's Carte Blanche for the cover of their 1977 album The Grand Illusion, while the cover of Gary Numan's 1979 album The Pleasure Principle, like John Foxx's 2001 The Pleasures of Electricity, was based on Magritte's painting Le Principe du Plaisir.
Jethro Tull mentions Magritte on a 1976 album and Paul Simon's song "Rene And Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War" appears on the 1983 album Hearts and Bones. Paul McCartney, a life-long fan of Magritte, owns many of his paintings, and claims that a Magritte painting inspired him to use the name Apple for the Beatles' media corporation. Magritte is also the subject and title of a John Cale song on the 2003 album HoboSapiens.
The Son of Man, 1964
Numerous films have included imagery inspired by Magritte. The Son of Man, in which a man's face is obscured by an apple, is referenced in the 1992 film Toys, the 1999 film The Thomas Crown Affair and in the 2004 short film Ryan. In the 2004 film I Heart Huckabees, Magritte is alluded to by Bernard Jaffe (Dustin Hoffman) as he holds a bowler hat. According to Ellen Burstyn, in the 1998 documentary The Fear of God: 25 Years of "The Exorcist", the iconic poster shot for the film The Exorcist was inspired by Magritte's L'Empire des Lumières.
The Spanish television show El Planeta Imaginario (1983–1986) dedicated two episodes to René Magritte: "M, el extraño viajero" (M, the strange traveller) and "La Quimera" (The Chimera).
Magritte's painting The Treachery of Images is referred to in The Forbidden Game: The Chase, a book by L. J. Smith, in which the difference between image and reality becomes key to solving the entire conflict. The same painting (and its caption, "This is not a pipe") inspired a graphic in the video game Rayman Raving Rabbids. The online game Kingdom of Loathing refers to this painting, as well as to The Son of Man.
Artists influenced by Magritte
Contemporary artists have been greatly influenced by René Magritte's stimulating examination of the fickleness of images. Some artists who have been influenced by Magritte's works include John Baldessari, Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Vija Celmins, Marcel Broodthaers and Martin Kippenberger. Some of the artists' works integrate direct references and others offer contemporary viewpoints on his abstract fixations.

Philip IV became King of which European country in 1621? | Philip IV
Philip IV
Location of death: Madrid, Spain
Cause of death: unspecified
Nationality: Spain
Executive summary: King of Spain, 1621-65
Philip IV, King of Spain, eldest son of Philip III and his wife Margaret, sister of the emperor Ferdinand II, was born at Valladolid on the 8th of April 1605. His reign, after a few passing years of barren successes, was a long story of political and military decay and disaster. The king has been held responsible for the fall of Spain, which was, however, due in the main to internal causes beyond the control of the most despotic ruler, however capable he had been. Philip certainly possessed more energy, both mental and physical, than his father. There is still in existence a translation of Guicciardini which he wrote with his own hand in order to qualify himself for government by acquiring a knowledge of political history. He was a fine horseman and keen hunter. His artistic taste was shown by his patronage of Diego Vel�zquez , and his love of letters by his favor to Lope de Vega , Calder�n , and other dramatists. He is even credited, on fairly probable testimony, with a share at least in the composition of several comedies. His good intentions were of no avail to his government. Coming to the throne at the age of sixteen, he did the wisest thing he could by allowing himself to be guided by the most capable man he could find. His favorite, Olivares, was a far more honest man than the Duke of Lerma, and was more fit for the place of prime minister than any Spaniard of the time. But Philip IV had not the strength of mind to free himself from the influence of Olivares when he had grown to manhood. The amusements which the favorite had encouraged became the business of the king's life. When, in 1643, the disasters falling on the monarchy on all sides led to the dismissal of Olivares, Philip had lost the power to devote himself to hard work. After a brief struggle with the task of directing the administration of the most extensive and the worst organized monarchy in Europe, he sank back into his pleasures and was governed by other favorites. His political opinions were those he had inherited from his father and grandfather. He thought it his duty to support the German Habsburgs and the cause of the Roman Catholic Church against the Protestants, to assert his sovereignty over Holland, and to extend the dominions of his house. The utter exhaustion of his people in the course of a hopeless struggle with Holland, France and England was seen by him with sympathy, but he considered it an unavoidable misfortune and not the result of his own errors, since he could not be expected to renounce his rights or to desert the cause of God and the Church. In public he maintained a bearing of rigid solemnity, and was seen to laugh only three times in the course of his life. But in private he indulged in horseplay and very coarse immorality. His court was grossly vicious. The early death of his eldest son, Baltasar Carlos, was unquestionably due to debauchery encouraged by the gentlemen entrusted by the king with his education. The lesson shocked the king, but its effect soon wore off. Philip IV died broken-hearted on the 17th of September 1665, expressing the hope that his surviving son, Carlos, would be more fortunate than himself.

Philip IV
Philip IV (b. 1605, Valladolid, Spain, d. 1665, Madrid), king of Spain (1621-65) and of Portugal (1621-40), during the decline of Spain as a great world power.
He succeeded his father, Philip III of Spain, in 1621, and, for the first 22 years of his reign, Philip's valido, or chief minister, was the Conde-Duque de Olivares, who took the spread of the Thirty Years' War as an opportunity not only for resuming hostilities against the Dutch at the end of the Twelve Years' Truce of 1609 (1621) but also for an ambitious attempt to restore Spanish hegemony in Europe, in close alliance with the imperial branch of the Habsburg dynasty. The Spanish armies won some conspicuous victories - for instance, the capture of Breda from the Dutch (1626) and the defeat of the Swedes and Weimarians at N�rdlingen (1634) - but France declared open war in 1635, and Spain's early successes were offset, from 1640, by the separatist rebellions of Catalonia and of Portugal (Portugal becoming independent in 1640 under John IV of the House of Bragan�a).
Philip dismissed Olivares in 1643 and replaced him with Don Luis M�ndez de Haro, who remained in office until his death in 1661. Thereafter the King had no valido, but frequently relied on the advice of a nun and mystic, Mar�a de �greda, who corresponded with him on both spiritual matters and affairs of state. By the end of his reign Spain, weakened by military reverses and economic and social distress, had become a second-class power.
Philip's first wife was Elizabeth (Spanish, Isabel), daughter of Henry IV of France; after her death in 1644, he married Maria Anna (Mariana), daughter of the Holy Roman emperor Ferdinand III. A poet and patron of the arts, Philip was the friend and patron of the painter Vel�zquez, many of whose works portray Philip and members of his court.

Trivia
Timothy Dalton was originally considered for the role of James Bond in the late 1960s, after Sean Connery left the role following You Only Live Twice (1967). Dalton was screen tested by Albert R. Broccoli for On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) but he turned down the part as he thought he was too young. He was also considered for Diamonds Are Forever (1971) but turned it down again, still feeling he was too young. He was considered again for the role in For Your Eyes Only (1981) when for a time it was unclear whether Roger Moore would return. However, Dalton declined at that time, as there was no script (or even first draft). Dalton was offered the role again in 1983 for Octopussy (1983), and yet again in 1985 for A View to a Kill (1985), but had to decline the role both times due to previous commitments. See more »

What type of bird is a conure? | Types of Conures: A Guide to 10 Popular Choices of Pet Conure Parrots
Related posts:
Care & Diet Requirements of Pet Conures
Conure parrots, are delightful little birds that are colorful and full of character. Hand reared conures make excellent pets and are extremely popular with bird lovers all around the world. Some of the more popular, and readily available types of conures kept as pet birds, include the following: Sun Conure, Jenday Conure, Nanday Conure, Blue Crowned Conure, Maroon Bellied Conure, Green Cheeked Conure, Peach Fronted Conure, Dusky Headed Conure, Red Masked Conure, and the Patagonian Conure.
Conure Care
Conures are active birds, and consequently conure bird cages need to be fairly large relative to body size, fitted with lots of toys, especially things to chew, and noisy toys like bells and rattles, to provide stimulation and prevent boredom. As they are intelligent birds that love to interact and play, it is easy to train all types of conures to perform tricks. They will readily lie upside down in the palm of your hand and play dead. They also love water, and it is recommended that a bird bath be provided – alternatively a spray shower in hot weather will always be appreciated.
Conure Diet
A balanced diet of whole grains, fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts is recommended for all types of conures to ensure that they remain in good health. Feed commercial seed and pellet mixes together with a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables. Conures love apple, corn on the cob, sprouted seeds, as well as a cooked mix of corn and peas, such as the mixes available for pigeons. Foods to avoid include chocolate, alcohol, onions and avocado pear, which is highly toxic to parrots.

Is a Conure for You?
There are many different types of conures available on the pet market, they come in a variety of sizes and colors, and vary to a degree in their vocal capacity. Some are relatively demure and quiet, while others are extremely raucous and vocal, and this needs to be considered when choosing a conure to suit your lifestyle.
Conures are extremely social birds, which is why hand-raised conures make such good pets. However, because of their social nature, they require lots of attention and human interaction. If they do not receive this they can become very noisy in their efforts to attract attention. If you do not have the time to devote to these endearing birds, then it is recommended that you rather get a less demanding pet, as it would not be fair to the bird – or your neighbors – if you cannot give them the attention they deserve.

Green-Cheeked Conure
Pyrrhura molinae
The Green-cheeked conure is a favorite among bird novices because of its relatively low price, small stature, temperament, and relatively low noise level, at least compared to its larger cousins. The green-cheeked conure breeds fairly easily and as a result is readily available. The Green-cheeked conure is one of the smallest conures and is often confused with the maroon-bellied conure (Pyrrhura frontalis), a close relative. These birds are so similar in appearance that they are often identified incorrectly by pet stores or even their owners. They are the same size, about 10 inches long, and both are primarily green. The green-cheeked conure is a bit brighter in color than the maroon-bellied conure and has gray barring on its chest, fading into a slightly reddish belly. The maroon belly has a golden barring on its chest and distinct, heart-shaped maroon shading on its belly — hence the name. Both have a dark gray beak and feet. They are most easily confused when they are young, before their full color comes in after the first molt.
Native Region / Natural Habitat
The green-cheeked conure is found in wild in Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina and Paraguay, where it inhabits forests and woodland areas.
Personality & Behavior
The green-cheeked conure is a little clown, always full of antics. These birds love to hang upside-down and clamor along the cage bars, waiting for their owners to play with them. Green cheeks are mischief-makers, so keep an eye on your bird at all times. This is a good bird for children, as it is small enough for little hands to handle and is generally good-natured. However, realize that any bird can bite, and little fingers are tender. Always use caution around birds and children, especially for the bird’s sake.
Speech & Sounds
Owners love the green cheek for its relative quietness compared to other conures. It is not as loud or as frequent in its calling, but it will make some noise. Green-cheeked conures have been known to talk, and some are able to learn quite a few words, but they are generally not prized for their talking abilities.
Care & Feeding
The novice and the experienced bird owner alike will enjoy the green-cheeked conure as a pet. This bird may not be for the very beginner, though someone who has experience properly caring for a parakeet or other small bird may be ready for this easy-going bird. Green cheeks are not known to be nippy, and are particularly affectionate. Because green-cheeked conures are highly affectionate and love their owners intensely, they need an owner that is able to give them a great deal of time out of the cage. With some attention on a daily basis, even paired green cheeks will maintain their pet quality. If you don’t have another green cheek, you can pair this bird with a maroon-bellied conure, but don’t allow them to breed. The green-cheeked conure will generally live peacefully with conures of similar size, though will not readily tolerate smaller birds, and might be in danger from the aggression of a larger bird. A green-cheeked conure should be offered a nutritionally balanced manufactured diet, supplemented with fresh vegetables, fruit and healthy table foods. Conures have busy beaks, which makes Lafeber foods a conure favorite. Lafeber’s Avi-Cakes , Pellet-Berries and Nutri-Berries offer balanced nutrition that appeals to a conure’s chewing needs. A green-cheeked conure can live up to 25 years or more with proper care.
Health & Common Conditions
Conures, including green-cheeked conures can be prone to feather picking. If a complete medical exam rules out medical causes of feather plucking, boredom and/or lack of appropriate mental stimulation can be a cause. Offer your green-cheeked conure an enriched environment with plenty of opportunities for play and foraging, as well as a staple supply of safe items to chew. Conures are also susceptible to Proventricular Dilatation Disease (PDD), Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease, Psittacosis, beak malocclusion and Aspergillosis. Regular health checkups by an avian veterinarian are crucial to your conure’s health, as they can help diagnose and treat many disease processes early on.
Get a Green-Cheeked Conure
Green-cheeked conures are one of the most commonly available conure species available as a pet. They can be found in large pet stores, as well as from avian specialty stores and through bird breeders. They are also often available for adoption from avian rescue and adoption organizations. A hand-raised, people-socialized green-cheeked conure can make an excellent family pet.

Which actor played the President in the 1997 film ‘Air Force One’? | Air Force One Movie Review & Film Summary (1997) | Roger Ebert
Tweet
Harrison Ford is one of the most likable and convincing of movie stars, and he almost pulls off the impossible in "Air Force One.'' I don't mean he saves the day; I mean he almost saves the movie. Here is a good example of how star power can breathe new life into old cliches--and "Air Force One'' is rich with cliches.
Advertisement
You are familiar with the movie's premise because of all the commercials and coming attractions trailers and magazine covers and talk show appearances. You know that Gary Oldman plays the leader of a gang of terrorists who gain control of Air Force One as it's flying back home from Moscow. You know it's up to Ford, as President James Marshall , Vietnam combat hero, to battle the terrorists. You know his wife and children are among the hostages--and that he has just vowed that America will never negotiate with terrorists.
So. Since the movie has no macro surprises, does it have any micro ones? Has director Wolfgang Petersen (" Das Boot ," " In The Line Of Fire ") found lots of neat little touches to make the movie work on a minute-by-minute basis, while on the larger scale slogs to its preordained conclusion? Sorta, sometimes. There's some neat stuff about "Air Force One,'' although I don't know how much of it to believe. (Is it really bulletproof from the inside? Does it really have an escape pod onboard? Is there really a way to parachute out the back hatch? Can you really call Washington from Russia on a cell phone while airborne?) Many of the action scenes take place in the bowels of the jet, down in the galley and luggage areas.
There also is a counterplot set in Washington, where the vice president ( Glenn Close ) learns from the attorney general ( Philip Baker Hall ) that the president may be technically "incapacitated,'' and that she should consider taking over. And there are some good action sequences, in which people enter and leave airplanes at an altitude at which the practice is not recommended.
Advertisement
But mostly the movie is stapled together out of ingredients from many, many other films about presidents, terrorists, hijackings, hostages, airplanes, politics and cat-and-mouse chases. It is inevitable, for example, that the terrorists will separate and go poking around on their own, so that they can be picked off one at a time. It is inevitable that there will be Washington press conferences, so that bones of information can be thrown to the seething press. It is inevitable that there will be personality flare-ups among the lesser politicians, and dire comments by their advisers ("The element of surprise is a formidable weapon'').
The movie also resurrects that ancient and dependable standby, the Choosing of the Wires. In countless other movies, the bomb squad hesitates between "Red . . . or black? Red . . . or black''). This is a big-budget movie and presents us with five wires. It's an emergency, and the president needs to decide which two he should connect. See if you can guess the right two colors. The choices are green, yellow, red, white and blue.
The movie is well-served by the quality of the performances. Close is convincing as the vice president, and Gary Oldman has a couple of effective scenes as the terrorist ("Murder? You took 100,000 lives to save a nickel on the price of a gallon of gas.''). And Harrison Ford is steady and commanding as the president, even while we're asking ourselves if a middle-age chief executive would really be better at hand-to-hand combat than his Secret Service agents.
Advertisement
Some of the special effects scenes are effective, but others are distracting. In a key scene set near an open doorway on the plane, none of the actors convinced me that they thought they were standing next to a 30,000-foot drop. (For one thing, they never looked down, which I think is more or less the first thing I would do.) A climactic explosion is less than authentic, visually. And scenes involving a Russian political prisoner are confusing.
"Air Force One'' is a fairly competent recycling of familiar ingredients, given an additional interest because of Harrison Ford's personal appeal. At this point in the summer, however, I've had enough explosions, showdowns, stunts and special effects. I saw a movie the other day about a woman in Paris who lost her cat, and know what? It was more exciting than this. At least when the cat got up on the roof, it knew enough to look down.

10 American President Movies
something here
Political films are not always serious, and these 10 American President movies are a mixture of comedy and drama. Some of the movies deal with actors portraying real former American Presidents , while others are completely fictional. These American President movies either poke fun at political life, or closely portray political life.
"Frost/Nixon" It is one on the American President movies that has a real President portrayed by another actor. Frank Langella plays President Richard Nixon in the Oscar-nominated drama movie based on television interviews. The movie revolves around the revelatory interviews between British talk show host David Frost and former President Nixon.
"JFK" This 1991 movie is about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. No actor played Kennedy, because he only appeared in the film via real archival footage. The plot revolves around counter-myth of what exactly happened the day President Kennedy got assassinated. It is an eye-opening movie about another theory of how President Kennedy was assassinated.
"Dick" This 1999 comedy movie is about two girls who end up becoming the White House dog walkers. They soon discover that President Nixon is not a nice man, and inadvertently become "Deep Throat." Dan Hedaya portrays former American President Richard M. Nixon. It is a refreshing comedy, that has a great fictional twist on the Watergate scandal .
"The American President" This 1995 movie is about a widowed American President trying to win the love of an environmental lobbyist. President Shepherd realizes trying to court a woman is hard when the entire world is watching his every move. Michael Douglas portrays fictional American President Andrew Shepherd.
"Air Force One" Harrison Ford stars as the fictional American President James Marshall in the 1997 adventure movie. The movie revolves around the President's plane being hijacked while him and his family are on board. President Marshall tries to keep his family safe while maintaining integrity. The action packed movie is entertaining from start to finish.
"In the Line of Fire" This American President movie stars Clint Eastwood as Secret Service Agent Frank Horrigan who failed to save John F. Kennedy. Haunted with the memory, he soon finds himself faced with the same problem when assassination threats on the current President arise. Horrigan and his partner take it into their own hands to track down the would-be assassin before he kills the President.
"Dave" The current American President wants to opt out duties for the day, so the White House staff finds a man to stand in for him. While having his "free day" the real President Bill Mitchell suffers an unexpected stroke and falls into a coma. Dave Kovic is forced to keep pretending to be the President while the White House decides what to do about the situation.
"Primary Colors" This political comedy is loosely based on former American President Bill Clinton . In the movie, the Presidents name is Jack Stanton, but he resembles Clinton. The plot is based around journalist Joe Klein's "Primary Colors" book. The book is based on Clinton's campaign for the 1992 Democratic presidential nomination.
"My Fellow Americans" Former presidents Kramer and Douglas are forced to join together in order to take down the current president. Current American President Haney tries to frame and kill the former Presents in order to cover up his scandals. The comedy movie revolves around Kramer and Douglas trekking across American trying to clear their names.
"Head of State" This 2003 comedy movie is about an American President unexpectedly dying, and the man who becomes his replacement. Chris Rock stars as D.C. alderman, Mays Gilliam, who becomes the replacement. The late Bernie Mac stars as Gilliams running mate. The comedy team of Bernie Mac and Chris Rock is hilarious, and if you don't take the American President movie seriously, you will enjoy watching it.

What We Can Still Learn From Lincoln
Terry L. Paulson, PhD, CSP, CPAE
More than any other president, Abraham Lincoln showed that ordinary people from humble beginnings and with self-education, a strong character and focused will can aspire to and create greatness. George Washington may be credited as the President who created the union; Lincoln preserved that union. Lincoln was a great communicator and was, arguably, the most gifted writer we ever had as a President. Even 150 years after his death, we keep quoting him endlessly. He showed other Presidents how to lead in the midst of crisis with vision and resolve. He raised the bar for the presidency; he helped define the office for the ages. In short, Lincoln continues to be rated as America's favorite and most respected President. His ability to learn from and persevere in the face of failure, his resolve in the face of sustained conflict, and his breadth of insight about leadership and life are still relevant to America. Here are some of Lincoln's best quotes and some thoughts on how he can still speak to you today.
"The prudent, penniless beginner in the world, labors for wages awhile, saves a surplus with which to buy tools or land for himself; then labors on his own account another while, and at length hires another new beginner to help him. This, say its advocates, is free labor the just and generous, and prosperous system, which opens the way for all gives hope to all, and energy, and progress, and improvement of condition to all." Abraham Lincoln
"I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good. So while we do not propose any war on capital, we do wish to allow the humblest man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else." Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln championed the principle that we today call free market capitalism. It provides the greatest opportunity possible for every person to make his way in the world, and even to prosper. Lincoln understood what many in Washington just don't get. There's no war between capital and labor. Capital and labor are the same people at different stages of their lives. Workers work to save, then to invest and ultimately to become owners of capital.
"I don't know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be." Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln knew that what made America great was not its government, but its people empowered in a free country to live their own version of the American Dream.
"The worst thing you can do for those you love is the thing they could and should do for themselves." Abraham Lincoln
"Government should do for people that which they cannot possibly do for themselves--and leave otherwise alone!" Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln believed in limiting the rolls that government should play. He cared enough to challenge people to take responsibility for their own future. There would have been no war on poverty in Lincoln's administration. There was encouragement and support, but there was no room for an entitlement mentality.
"I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go." Abraham Lincoln
"In regards to this great book, the Bible, I have but to say it is the best gift God has given. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it." Abraham Lincoln
"I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side." Abraham Lincoln
"Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes his aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered--that of neither has been answered fully. With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds...to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations." Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln knew man's limitations and felt the grace and guidance of God in his life. He was not known for church attendance, but he increasingly included references to faith and God as he faced the challenges as President of a nation at war.
"If I were to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for business. I do the very best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right will make no difference." Abraham Lincoln
"Well, we took a vote in the Cabinet and it was eight to one-but I was the one." Abraham Lincoln
Most know and value the idolized Lincoln, but few of us realize how unpopular he was at the time in taking our country through one of the most trying periods of our history. Respect does not always mean high approval polls. Too much thought is put into resolving disagreement and tension, instead of finding the truth and the power that exists in using the tension for needed change. Great leaders learn to manage and treasure the tension and end up being respected for doing just that.
"Don't shoot too high--aim lower and the common people will understand you. They are the ones you want to reach--at least they are the ones you ought to reach. The educated and refined people will understand you any way. If you aim too high your ideas will go over the heads of the masses and only hit those who need no hitting." Abraham Lincoln
"I do not seek applause�nor to amuse the people. I want to convince them. I often avoid a long and useless discussion by others or a laborious explanation on my own part by using a short story that illustrates my point of view." Abraham Lincoln
You don't remember facts, graphs, or even quotes, but people do remember stories. Lincoln connected with people through the power of a good story. His positions were accepted and remembered because they were carried on the wings of story.
"Still the question recurs 'can we do better?' The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew." Abraham Lincoln
Like all great leaders, Lincoln valued the past while still embracing change. Every improvement is the result of change; not every change is an improvement. The past will always have value, but it can't be allowed to have an automatic veto. Lincoln could take the best from the past and be open to changes that would improve America.
"If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his true friend.. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which say what he will, is the greatest highroad to his reason, and which once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing his judgment of the justice of your cause, if indeed, that cause be really a just one." Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln did not avoid his difficult people; he found a way to bridge to them by keeping them close. He put his most threatening enemies in his own party into his cabinet so he could win them over. He was reported to have said, "I don't like that man. I am going to have to get to know him better."
"I find quite as much material for a lecture, in those points wherein I have failed, as in those wherein I have been moderately successful." Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln never gave up. He faced repeated failure but found the courage and fortitude to persevere to become the most respected President of all time.
"Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this." Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln was a lawyer who valued the judicial system that helped guarantee our freedoms and rights. But he would have been disappointed by the lottery that many have made of our court system in today's world.
"No man has a good enough memory to make a successful liar." Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln was grounded in integrity based on core principles that guided his actions. He was able to stand his ground, because he knew the ground he stood on.
"We hope all dangers may be overcome; but to conclude that no danger may ever arise, would itself be extremely dangerous." Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln had a realistic view of human nature and the world around him. He knew that challenges would confront every age and every leader.
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth." Abraham Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address Nov. 19, 1863
Lincoln was not afraid to use force in matters of principle. But he also knew the value of honoring those who gave their all in defense of those principles.
"I believe people are just about as happy as they make their minds up to be." Abraham Lincoln
"Laughter is the joyous universal evergreen of life....Were it not for my little jokes, I could not bear the burdens of this office...With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die." Abraham Lincoln
"A Little Mistake"
A minister and a lawyer were riding on a train together.
"Sir," the minister asked the lawyer, "do you ever make mistakes while in court?"
"Very rarely," the lawyer said, proudly, "but on occasion, I must admit that I do."
"And what do you do when you make a mistake?" the minister asked.
"If they are large mistakes, I mend them," the lawyer said. "If they are small mistakes, I let them go. Tell me, Reverend, don't you ever make mistakes while preaching?" "Of course," said the minister. "And I dispose of them in the same way that you do. Not long ago, I meant to tell the congregation that the devil was the father of liars, but I made a mistake and said the father of lawyers. The mistake was so small that I let it go."
Lincoln took his role seriously, but himself lightly. His sense of humor was both his stress breaker and his communication tool that helped him survive his years as president.
Some people keep looking for Elvis. In times like these, I find myself wishing that Lincoln would return. The American journey continues into a new chapter of our history. Freedom isn't a birthright of America; it must be earned and reearned in every age. Now is our time to earn it again. May his words live on to inspire us for ages to come.
APPENDIX: THE LINCOLN LEGACY
When failure continually knocks at your door, welcome it in. Once experienced and learned from, failure becomes the steppingstone to success. Consider a man whose life was engulfed with failure, setbacks, and letdowns. He once wrote, "I am the most miserable man living. Whether I shall be better, I cannot tell."
He experienced a difficult childhood. When he was only seven years old, his family was forced out of their home on a legal technicality. He went to work to support his family, and at nine, his mother died. He completed less than one year of formal schooling.
At twenty-two, he lost his job as a store clerk. His desire was to go to law school, but his lack of education restricted him from being admitted. He borrowed money to become a partner in a small business. A few years later, his partner died, leaving him swamped in debt that took seventeen years to repay.
In 1832, he was defeated for the legislature; this was followed by another business failure one year later.
In 1835, the young woman he loved refused to marry him, and a woman he had loved earlier died, leaving him rejected, confused and heartbroken. He was defeated for speaker in 1838 and defeated for the elector in 1840. Two years later he married into a burdensome life and an ultimately unhappy relationship.
He was defeated for Congress in 1843, but finally, after his third try was elected in 1846. Two years later, at thirty-nine, he ran again and failed to be reelected.
His personal life was also in shambles. His four-year-old son died (in fact, only one of his four sons lived past eighteen). At this point, he experienced a nervous breakdown. The next year, he failed to get an appointment to the U.S. Land Office.
At forty-five, he ran and was badly defeated for the US Senate. Two years later, in 1856, he became candidate for the vice presidency and again experienced defeat.
Failure stood at his door in 1858 when he was again badly defeated for the US Senate.
Amazingly enough, this man withstood a lifetime of crisis, criticism, public denial, personal defeat, deep depression, and loneliness to become a US President in 1860. At fifty-one years old, he experienced the success he so badly desired. However, his second term of office was cut short by a final earthly defeat--his assassination.
As Abraham Lincoln lay dying, Edwin M. Stanton spoke of this man as most of us remember him: "There lies the most perfect ruler of men the world has ever seen...(and) now he belongs to the ages."
Because of his accomplishments, his foresight, his insight, and his wisdom, Abraham Lincoln was an example of how failure can produce achievement. Lincoln would surely have agreed with Charles F. Kettering, who believed, "It is not a disgrace to fail. Failing is one of the greatest arts in the world."

The institution of marriage was begun that a man and a woman might learn how to love and, in loving, know joy; that a man and a woman might learn how to share pain and loneliness and, in sharing, know strength; that a man and woman might learn how to give and, in giving know communion. The institution of marriage was begun that a man and woman might through their joy, their strength, and their communion become creators of life itself. Marriage is a high and holy state, to be held in honor among all men and women. Marriage is a low and a common state, to be built of the stuff of daily life. Men and women are not angels, nor are they gods. Love can become hatred; joy, sorrow, marriage, divorce. But human beings are not condemned to failure.

Which trio made their last feature film appearance in the 1949 film ‘Love Happy’? | Film History Milestones - 1949
Event and Significance
1949
Vittorio De Sica's landmark, post-war The Bicycle Thief (1948, It.), was another superb example of film-making from the Italian Neo-Realism movement. In 1949, it received a Best Original Screenplay nomination (its sole, unrewarded nomination) for Cesare Zavattini, and it was honored with a Special Academy Award as the "most outstanding foreign film released in the United States during 1949" - many years before an official category was created. [The film served as the impetus for the creation of an official Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1956.] And it was the 1950 Golden Globe Award winner for Best Foreign Film. De Sica's film was also noted as the first film widely-distributed without the Hays Office seal of approval (for its refusal to cut two scenes involving urination and a bordello).
1949
Paramount signed a consent decree, agreeing to separate its production and distribution activities. Loew's (owner of MGM), 20th Century Fox, and Warner Bros. were ordered to divest themselves of their theaters.
1949
The UK's (and Michael Balcon's) anti-authoritarian Ealing Studios, a British film and production company (and claimed to be the oldest continuously working film studio in the world), released Passport to Pimlico (1949), starring Margaret Rutherford. It was the first of a series of acclaimed post-war classic "Ealing comedies" - the studio's hallmark - celebrated, intelligent comedies (many of which starred Alec Guinness) including Whiskey Galore! (1949), Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), The Lavender Hill Mob (1951), The Man in the White Suit (1952), The Titfield Thunderbolt (1953), and The Ladykillers (1955).
1949
The film career of the Marx Brothers extended from 1929 to 1949. Marx Brothers Groucho, Chico and Harpo made their final film appearance as a team in Love Happy (1949), with a young 23 year-old Marilyn Monroe (in a walk-on bit role).
1949
The film debut of the comic duo of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis was in My Friend Irma (1949). It was followed the next year by the team's only sequel, My Friend Irma Goes West (1950). The pair would go on to make a total of sixteen feature films together for Paramount, until they broke up in 1956 after their last teaming in the comedy/musical Hollywood or Bust (1956).
1949
Hopalong Cassidy, network television's first Western series, aired on NBC in June of 1949, starring William Boyd. The actor had portrayed the western hero in 66 Hopalong Cassidy films from the mid-1930s to 1948 (the first was Hop-Along Cassidy (1935)).
1949
Hollywood made one of its earliest attacks on racism with director Elia Kazan's melodrama Pinky (1949), one of the many post-war 'problem pictures'. The film was noted for using a white actress (Jeanne Crain) to portray a light-skinned black woman who fell in love with a white man.
1949
Director Nicholas Ray's debut feature film, the classic film noir They Live By Night (1949), is widely considered to have the first action scene shot from a helicopter. It was the opening scene - a tracking shot of three hardened convicts escaping from prison in a stolen car.
1949
After a ten-year absence from the screen, the legendary pair of dancers Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers was reunited for their tenth and final film in MGM's inferior reunion film - The Barkleys of Broadway (1949), their only Technicolored film, with the memorable number "You'd Be Hard to Replace", a reprise of "They Can't Take That Away From Me," and Astaire's dance solo "Shoes With Wings On." (Earlier, the duo had made nine films together for RKO stretching from 1933 to 1939.)
1949
Scandalizing herself, Ingrid Bergman became pregnant by her lover - Italian Neo-Realist film-maker Roberto Rossellini - while they were both married at the time. She had met director Rossellini on the set of Stromboli (1950, It./US) when her affair began. The child was delivered out-of-wedlock in February of 1950, three months before their marriage in May, 1950. [Bergman's husband had refused to grant her a divorce in time to make her forthcoming child with Rossellini ‘legitimate.’] The scandal began when she lied to prominent gossip columnist Hedda Hopper in June of 1949 about a rumored pregnancy. Everything erupted on December 12, 1949 when Louella Parsons 'scooped' the story regarding the pregnancy ("INGRID BERGMAN EXPECTING BABY"). Bergman was branded as "Hollywood's apostle of degradation," denounced by senators on the US Senate floor, religious leaders, and citizens' groups, and was forced to move away from the US. Eventually, the two had three children together (Renato or "Robin", and twin daughters Isabella and Isotta), and she was not vindicated until receiving the Best Actress Oscar award for Anastasia (1956), when she made a comeback and returned to Hollywood.
1949
Frequent RKO anti-hero actor Robert Mitchum was arrested of marijuana possession charges in 1948 (with American film actress Lila Leeds), and after his highly-publicized felony conviction served 43 days at a California prison farm in early 1949. [She served 60 days and was sentenced to five years probation.] Ultimately, his conviction was overturned in 1951 by the LA Court and DA when it was claimed that the arrest was part of a sting operation set-up. To capitalize on the notorious arrest, it became part of the plot of She Shoulda Said 'No'! (1949), a semi-autobiographical exploitation film distributed by the notorious marketer Kroger Babb, and starring Lila Leeds.
1949
Inspired by the work of Willis O'Brien in King Kong (1933) , Ray Harryhausen animated the stop-motion gorilla in Mighty Joe Young, although the work was mostly credited to O'Brien. This was Harryhausen's first feature film for which he created stop-motion animation. His career in stop-motion animation would last until his final feature film, Clash of The Titans (1981).
1949
The first musical feature film to be shot (partially) on location (in New York City, including exterior sites such as Coney Island, the Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller Plaza, and Central Park), was MGM's On the Town, although most of the film was shot in the studio.
1949
The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific, starring Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza, opened on Broadway on April 7, 1949. The play was based on James A. Michener's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1947 novel Tales of the South Pacific. It was adapted for the big screen and appeared nine years later as South Pacific (1958), directed by Joshua Logan and starring Mitzi Gaynor and Rossano Brazzi.
1949
50 year-old James Cagney made a comeback-return to his popular, 'tough-guy' gangster image at Warners with a dynamite, all-stops-out performance as psychotic, crooked, cold-blooded, and warped bad guy Jody Garrett in White Heat (1949) . His last film with Warner Bros. was seven years earlier - Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) . This was Cagney's first gangster film role in ten years - his previous role was in The Roaring Twenties (1939) with the same director - Raoul Walsh.
1949
The first appearance of both the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote was in the Warner Bros' cartoon Fast and Furry-ous (1949). Intended to be a one-time only appearance, their popularity called for another cartoon produced three years later, Beep, Beep (1952), and then a continuing series.
1949
Actress Judy Garland, suffering from serious personal and health issues (suicide attempts, a nervous breakdown, and heavy doses of prescription drugs) and failing to report to the set or often late, was suspended from the title role (of sharpshooter Annie Oakley) during the making of MGM's musical Annie Get Your Gun (1950) - she was replaced by Betty Hutton. It was based on the 1946 stage musical, starring Hutton opposite Howard Keel (in his film debut).
1949
UPA's Mr. Magoo cartoon character (aka Quincy Magoo) made his debut appearance in the theatrical short Ragtime Bear (1949). The popular character (voiced by Jim Backus) was crochety, eccentric, bumbling, semi-senile, short-sighted, resembling W.C. Fields, and forever finding himself in trouble due to his eyesight problems (and denial that there was any problem). It was the studio's first popular success, leading to numerous theatrical shorts (two shorts won the Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoon) in 1954 and 1956), full-length movies (UPA's first feature length cartoon 1001 Arabian Nights (1958), and the live-action Mr. Magoo (1997) with Leslie Nielsen), TV specials (i.e., NBC-TV's Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (1962) - the first animated holiday special produced especially for TV), TV commercials (i.e., General Electric, Stag Beer and Sterling Optical), and three TV series (i.e, The Mr. Magoo Show, UPA's The Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo (1964-65), and CBS-TV's half-hour Saturday morning show What's New, Mr. Magoo? (1977-79)).
1949
Director Robert Rossen's Best Picture-winning All the King's Men (1949) was a fictionalized account (based upon the Pulitzer Prize-winning and best-selling 1946 novel by Robert Penn Warren) of the rise and fall of a backwoods rebel - a story inspired by the rule (and abuse of power) of Louisiana's colorful and dictatorial state governor (1928-32) and Democratic U.S. Senator (1932-35) - the notorious Huey Pierce Long - nicknamed "The Kingfish." Mercedes McCambridge won an Academy Award (Best Supporting Actress) for her film debut - a 17-minute role in the film as conniving, tough, and unscrupulous political aide and sexually-frustrated secretary-mistress Sadie Burke.
Late 40s
Now that the big studios (such as Warners) were forced to divest themselves from owning lucrative theater chains, many Hollywood stars were making their last films (or were about to make their final film) under long-term contracts with the studio (i.e., Olivia de Havilland in 1946, Ida Lupino in 1947, Edward G. Robinson in 1948 (with Key Largo (1948)), Ann Sheridan and Bette Davis in 1949 (with Beyond the Forest (1949)), Humphrey Bogart in 1951 (with The Enforcer (1951)), and Errol Flynn in 1953).

While this film was never to be billed as a "Marx Bros" film, it still ended up being a must watch classic for Marx fans. This was suppose to be Harpo's solo film without his brothers. But as brother Chico was having some financial difficulties, he later asked if it would be ok to add a part for himself. Harpo agreed, and was happy to have him. But after doing so, the studio would not make the film unless Groucho was added to the cast. They wanted to be able to profit from the "Marx Bros" billing. In fact Groucho disliked the film so much, he did not recognize it as his official final film with his brothers. Though Grouchos part in the film isn't large, he still has some fantastic one liners! If you are wanting to see this as Marilyn Monroes first film roll, well you better pay attention as she is in the film for all of about a minute. Of course there is some beautiful and quite sweet scenes of Harpo on the harp! You will get a chance to see some typical awesome Chico Marx piano playing scenes as well! While not the best Marx Bros film, if Harpo is your favorite Marx then this is a must add to your collection :)

if anyone can take an unremarkable swansong and keep it from being altogether dreary, it's Groucho, Harpo, and Chico.
the film is most frequently cited as the first screen appearance of Marilyn Monroe, and the usual implication is that it's otherwise worthless. that's admittedly the most significant factor, but just because it's not Duck Soup doesn't make it completely worthless. it turns out to be just solid enough for The Marx Brothers - for my money the all-time champions of cinematic comedy - to work a bit of graceful (if now geriatric) magic.
it all began with a story by Harpo, and i have to admit that maybe it should've remained the solo vehicle he'd conceived it as. you can tell that the other two were brought in pretty much as an afterthought. by most accounts Chico was as much a conartist as his character (with the faux-Italian accent being the only significant difference), and he used his prowess to fast-talk his way into the film. whereupon investors decided they wanted a complete set, so room had to be made for Groucho as well.
fortunately, the abilities of the Brothers are such that they could be worked reasonably satisfactorily into the mix. Groucho narrates the film in the role of a satirical private detective, and the role so aptly fits his gifts that it's easy to forget how peripheral he really is. Chico didn't get woven in quite so seamlessly and his presence isn't always so easy to justify, but at least his character, a would-be mentalist, is one whose presence in this setting sort of makes sense.
specifically, the setting is a struggling theatre troupe trying to get their own musical revue, Love Happy, off the ground. Harpo is their "gofer," and circumstances are such as to not always afford him the luxury of ethics. by typical Harpo logic, the performers need to eat more that anyone who can actually afford groceries does. the only problem with that is that the market he scavenges is in fact a "front" for international jewel smugglers. when the priceless Romanoff diamonds end up in Harpo's hands (karma, maybe?), his difficulties escalate. so no, it's nothing we movie enthusiasts hadn't seen before.
whatever else you wanna say about the film, it does play to Harpo's strengths. yes, he does play his usual mischievous but compassionate unearthly urchin, but damn it, we love that character. he has true chemistry with his charming leading lady, one Vera-Ellen, and proves a formidable foil for our villainess, one Ilona Massey. his staunch resiliency in the face of her thugs, Bruce Gordon and Raymond Burr, showcases a formidable talent that hasn't quite dried up yet. and we get one of my very favorite Marx routines: Chico's uptake slows visibly as Harpo, via frenetic pantomime, attempts to give him an urgent warning.
so you can expected the expected here, but it's the expected you loved the first time, from past masters of their craft. Chico seems to be slowing down, effectively passing his prime on camera, but his little brothers have still got it. it was around the same time, after all, that Groucho undertook a second stardom with his quiz show You Bet Your Life.
so to summarize, it may not quite measure up to A Night At The Opera and A Day At The Races, but it manages to be as much good fun as, say, Go West or A Night In Casablanca.
interestingly, a few years later no less an auteur than Billy "Some Like It Hot" Wilder had a revelation: there had come to be a new paragon of the sort of staunch pomposity at which the Marxism of old was always aimed, and so conceived a comic extravaganza to be called A Day At The U.N. there was great enthusiasm on the part of the would-be stars, particularly Groucho, but alas, the admittedly intriguing prospect wasn't meant to be. insurance companies, already leery of their advanced ages, officially balked when Chico was taken with a sudden, debilitating illness. (which, depending on who's tell the story, may or may not of killed him even as negotiations were taking place.)
it's interesting as well as a little scary to think that not so long before they'd had just enough agility left to make Love Happy amusing, if nothing more substantial.

The brothers final theatrical release, unless you count the Story of Mankind (1957) is a weak effort. Compared to classic like Duck Soup or Night at Opera, the boys were past their prime and it shows. The script attempted to create a Harpo vehicle and it simply does not work. The musical numbers with Harpo and Chico are great and the scene where Vera Allen puts "the whammy" on Harpo is hilarious. Also fun cameos by Raymond Burr and a very young Marilyn Monroe. Beyond that, Groucho is barely used in the film, primarily as a narrator, and their usual zany energy seems diminished at times by their age. For Marx Brothers fans only. Also, the DVD version I got had ZERO bonus features!!!!!!

The Suez Crisis, also referred to as the Tripartite Aggression, Suez Canal Crisis, Suez War, or Second Arab-Israeli War[13][14] (Arabic: أزمة السويس / العدوان الثلاثي Azmat al-Suways / al-ʻUdwān al-Thulāthī , "Suez Crisis"/ "the Tripartite Aggression"; French: Crise du canal de Suez; Hebrew: מבצע קדש Mivtza' Kadesh "Operation Kadesh," or מלחמת סיני Milẖemet Sinai, "Sinai War"), was a diplomatic and military confrontation in late 1956 between Egypt on one side, and Britain, France and Israel on the other, with the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Nations playing major roles in forcing Britain, France and Israel to withdraw.[15]
The attack followed the President of Egypt Gamal Abdel Nasser's decision of 26 July 1956 to nationalize the Suez Canal, after the withdrawal of an offer by Britain and the United States to fund the building of the Aswan Dam, which was in response to Egypt's new ties with the Soviet Union and recognizing the People's Republic of China during the height of tensions between China and Taiwan.[16] The aims of the attack were primarily to regain Western control of the canal and to remove Nasser from power,[17] and the crisis highlighted the danger that Arab nationalism posed to Western access to Middle East oil.[18]
Less than a day after Israel invaded Egypt, Britain and France issued a joint ultimatum to Egypt and Israel, and then began to bomb Cairo. Despite the denials of the Israeli, British, and French governments, allegations began to emerge that the invasion of Egypt had been planned beforehand by the three powers.[19] Anglo-French forces withdrew before the end of the year, but Israeli forces remained until March 1957, prolonging the crisis. In April, the canal was fully reopened to shipping, but other repercussions followed.
The three allies, especially Israel, were mainly successful in attaining their immediate military objectives, but pressure from the United States and the USSR at the United Nations and elsewhere forced them to withdraw. As a result of the outside pressure Britain and France failed in their political and strategic aims of controlling the canal and removing Nasser from power. Israel fulfilled some of its objectives, such as attaining freedom of navigation through the Straits of Tiran. As a result of the conflict, the UNEF would police the Egyptian--Israeli border to prevent both sides from recommencing hostilities.
Gamal Abdel Nasser Hussein (Arabic: جمال عبد الناصر حسين, IPA: [ɡæˈmæːl ʕæbdenˈnɑːsˤeɾ ħeˈseːn]; 15 January 1918 -- 28 September 1970) was the second President of Egypt, serving from 1956 until his death. He planned the 1952 overthrow of the monarchy, and was deputy prime minister in the new government. In 1953, Nasser introduced far-reaching land reforms. Following a 1954 Muslim Brotherhood-led attempt on his life, he ordered a crackdown on the organization, put President Muhammad Naguib under house arrest, and assumed executive office. A June 1956 public referendum approved both the new constitution and Nasser's nomination for presidency.
Nasser's neutralist policies during the Cold War led to tense relations with Western powers, which withdrew funding for the planned Aswan Dam. Nasser's retaliatory move to nationalize the Suez Canal Company in 1956 was acclaimed within Egypt and the Arab world. Consequently, Britain, France, and Israel occupied the Sinai Peninsula, but withdrew amid international pressure, boosting Nasser's political standing significantly. From then on, Nasser's popularity in the region grew substantially and calls for pan-Arab unity under his leadership increased, culminating with the formation of the United Arab Republic with Syria (1958--1961).
In 1962, Nasser began a series of major socialist measures and modernization reforms in Egypt. Despite setbacks to his pan-Arabist cause, by 1963 Nasser's supporters gained power in several Arab countries. He also became embroiled in the North Yemen Civil War. Nasser introduced a new constitution in 1964, the same year he became

Suez War, 1956
The Suez Crisis, also referred to as the Tripartite Aggression was a war fought by Britain, France, and Israel against Egypt beginning on 29 October 1956

KEY ISSUES
Why did Britain and France become so involved?
Britain and US wanted an alliance with Egypt as she was the strongest and most developed Arab nation and because the Suez Canal passed through its territory. So when Nasser bought Russian arms from Czechoslovakia, it shocked the West. They were also angered when Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal.
Why was Israel involved too?
Israel wanted to end border raids in Gaza and to hit back at Egypt for encouraging Palestinian raids into Israel.
Who won and who lost the war?
Nasser seemed to have won the war because many of the Arab-States were more anti-western and were willing to seek Russian aid. Also the US began to supply most of Egypt’s weapons and to pay for the building of the Aswan dam and many other projects.
Britain, France and Israel lost the war as they did not get what they wanted. At the UN, many Arab states and the US condemned Britain and France’s actions and stopped oil supply to the West.

Who is Nasser?
Gamal Abdel Nasser Hussein was the second President of Egypt from 1956 until his death.
He had a friendly relation with the West as Egypt was an important Arab support against communism in the Middle East. However, he also bought Russian arms form Czechoslovakia.
He was the main culprit for the Suez Crisis as he wanted to strengthen his army when Israel hit back at Egypt for encouraging Palestinian raids into Israel. So when he bought the Russian arms from Czechoslovakia, it ended Egypt’s reliance on Western arms together with alliance with Britain and France.

Development and explaination of fighting of Suez, 1956
When Nasser bought Russian arms from Czechoslovakia in 1955, it shocked the West as it was a sign of support for communism in the Middle East.
In retaliation, in July 1956, Britain and USA refused to lend Egypt any more money to build the Aswan High Dam that is very important for Egypt industries and economy.
Nasser then responded to the withdrawing of funds by proclaiming the nationalization of the Suez Canal.
Britain and France was so angered that they withdrew their pilots who guided ships through the canal.
On 24th October, British and French foreign ministers secretly met Israeli PM, David in France to plan a joint campaign against Nasser, for the issues recognizing Israel and releasing control of the Suez Canal.
On 29th October, the Tripartite Invasion of France, Britain and Israel started (Operation Kadesh) Israeli forces invaded the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt and advanced towards the Suez Canal. The following day, Britain and France ordered Egypt and Israel to cease fighting and withdraw 16km from the Canal.
Nasser refused.
On 31 October, British and French planes bombed Egyptian airfields and destroyed most of the air force.
On November 5th British and French troops landed at Port Said and advanced along the canal. Egypt sank ships to block the canal.

Who won the war?
The imposed end to the crisis signalled the definitive weakening of the United Kingdom and France as global powers. Middle-sized powers were no longer free to act independently. Nasser's standing in the Arab world was greatly improved, with his stance helping to promote pan-Arabism. Although Egyptian forces had stood no chance against the three allies, many Egyptians believed that Nasser had won the war militarily. I think that he has actually won as he has succeeded politically and gave confidence to other Arab states, even though militarily he may not have won.
I think that the real winner should be Nasser. Nasser stood to his stand throughout the war, even though he was losing militarily. He did not give up on Suez Canal, as if he did, the war would have ended with The Tripartite aggressors winning. IN the end with the aid of UN pressure, The Tripartite were forced out of Egypt and it made like Egypt had won the war, but this would not have happened if Nasser gave up the Suez Canal. Therefore, the aftermath was that pan-Arabism was promoted and it proved to Arab states that the UK and France were weakening as global powers, and middle sized powers were no longer free to act independently.

Which member of the Beatles was also known as Nelson Wilbury? | George Harrison
Home • George Harrison
George Harrison
George Harrison, MBE 25 February 1943 to 29 November 2001, was an award winning English rock guitarist, singer, songwriter, author and sitarist best known as the lead guitarist of The Beatles. Following the bands breakup, Harrison had a successful career as a solo artist and later as part of the Traveling Wilburys super group where he was known as both Nelson Wilbury and Spike Wilbury. He was also a film producer, with his production company Handmade Films, involving people as diverse as Madonna and the members of Monty Python. After Harrison embraced Hinduism in the 1960s, his spiritual convictions were often evident in his music and public activities.
Although John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the Beatles main songwriters, Harrison generally wrote or sang lead on a few songs per album. His later compositions earned him growing admiration as a talent in his own right. Despite his artistic growth he remained overshadowed by the Lennon McCartney duo. After the band's breakup it was Harrison who achieved the first number 1 single My Sweet Lord by any ex Beatle. Besides his talents as a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and sitarist, he was also a record producer.
While still a Beatle, Harrison became attracted to Indian music and Hinduism. Both would subsequently play a prominent role in Harrisons life and music. His use of the sitar introduced the instrument to millions of Western listeners. He adopted Hinduism as there is no conversion in Hinduism and his last rites were performed according to Hindu tradition.
After The Beatles breakup, Harrison had a successful solo career, scoring hits with My Sweet Lord, What Is Life, Give Me Love, All Those Years Ago, and Got My Mind Set on You. Harrisons landmark triple album, All Things Must Pass, currently holds the distinction of being the best selling album by a solo Beatle. He, along with Pandit Ravi Shankar, also organised the first large scale benefit concert, The Concert for Bangladesh, which took place on 1 August 1971. Harrison was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in 2004.
Harrison was also a film producer and founded Handmade Films in 1979. The company's films include Monty Pythons The Life of Brian in which he had a cameo, Time Bandits, Withnail and I, and Mona Lisa. Harrison also has a cameo role in the Rutles TV mockumentary All You Need Is Cash. Harrison died of cancer on 29 November 2001, at the age of 58.
When youve seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there.

The Story Behind The Travelling Willburys Guitar Picks
The Story Behind The Travelling Willburys Guitar Picks
By Jim Berkenstadt Sun, Aug 22, 2010
Jim Berkenstadt joins the PCQ and starts it off big with this article on the Travelling Wilburys picks.
The guitar picks of legendary supergroup The Traveling Wilburys (TW) are part of long and mysterious history of musician pseudonyms first used by The Beatles; a tradition that dates back well before they were famous. Aside from the near impossibility in locating a complete set of these TW picks, they contain only fictional names of the band members and their friends. Searching for authentic Wilburys picks with the real band member names will yield a dead-end because they simply don’t exist. Who are Nelson, Otis, Charlie T. Jr., Lucky and Lefty and just how did these picks come about? How valuable are they to collectors? Read on…
Historically, the pseudonyms used by The Traveling Wilburys were not the first ones ever used by group founder George Harrison or Nelson Wilbury as he is sometime known. In order to better understand the rare and unique nature of TW guitar picks we need to travel backwards in time to the 1960s to discover where George and his “first band” came up with the idea for pseudonyms.
In May of 1960, The Beatles were hired to back teen singer Johnny Gentle on a tour of Scotland. In so doing, the group decided to bill themselves as The Silver Beatles (or according to other reports, Long John Silver and the Silver Beatles). Prior to this tour, John, Paul and George decided to create pseudonyms for themselves along the way. This was the first documented use of pseudonyms by The
Beatles. In this case, George Harrison changed his name to Carl Harrison, no doubt in tribute to his rockabilly hero (and future friend) Carl Perkins. McCartney selected Paul Ramone as his nom de plume and Lennon of course was Long John Silver. At the time, it was all in good fun. However, as time went on the group (and later as solo artists) began to use pseudonyms for various creative and business purposes.
Paul McCartney was a big fan of pseudonyms and continued to use them throughout his career. In the middle 1960s he used the name Bernard Web to disguise his authorship of the song “Woman” for the British pop singing duo Peter and Gordon. His intent was to see if the song could reach the top of the charts without the help of a Beatle, standing merely on the merits of the song and the performance of Peter and Gordon. In 1967, McCartney produced an album for the Bonzo Do Dog band under the name Apollo C. Vermouth. This time the intent was to help musical friends on a rival record label, due to record contract obligations that would have prevented his assistance to the band. Again in 1967, McCartney came up with the concept and pseudonym - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - to help free the group to create their latest album outside the confines and expectations of using their Beatles moniker.
George Harrison continued the use of pseudonyms in the late 1960s. In 1969, Harrison released an experimental solo LP on the Apple Records/ Zapple label called Electronic Sound. On it, he secretly credited himself as Artur Wax. On a brief liner note he poked fun at himself with the line “There are a lot of people around, making a lot of noise, here’s some more.”
Throughout the late Sixties and into the Seventies, George Harrison continued to use various pseudonyms to let fans know he had played sessions on the albums of other artists. This use of pseudonyms was meant to get around entertainment attorneys who had yet to figure out how artists exclusively signed to their labels could be loaned out to work on albums for artists on rival labels. Additionally, George likely did not want his friends to be invoiced by his label for lending his talents. The list of names used by Harrison during his solo career is long and humorous: George Harrysong; George O’Hara; Son of Harry; Harry Georgeson; P.Roducer; Jai Raj Harisein; L’Angelo Mysterioso; and a few more.
The birth of The Traveling Wilburys was an organic happy accident. In mid- 1988, Harrison had recently recorded the album Cloud Nine, produced with Jeff Lynne. Warner Bros. Records' International Department had asked George Harrison to come up with an extra track for Europe for the single "This Is Love". At the time it was customary to couple an A-side with a never-before-heard track, giving the single extra sales value.
Lynne and Harrison were out to dinner with Roy Orbison that night. Lynne was currently producing an Orbison album. Orbison had Harrison were old friends, having toured together in 1963. They discussed Harrison’s need to record another song. When Lynne informed Harrison that one could not find a studio on such short notice, George said, “Let’s call Bob (Dylan). He has a studio in his garage.” The next day, after Harrison picked up his guitar on loan at Tom Petty’s house (Petty: “I wondered what I was going to do today.”), all five future Wilburys found themselves hanging around Bob Dylan’s garage, helping George craft his ‘b-side”. Once “Handle With Care” was written, George figured, no use wasting all this assembled talent, and put them to work sharing lead vocal duties. No doubt Harrison and Lynne realized they had formed the group they often had joked about during the Cloud Nine sessions. A group they referred to early on as “Trembling Wilburys”.
Of course, when the record label heard “Handle With Care” and found out who was on the song, they suggested Harrison form the group and record more songs. Thus, The Traveling Wilburys were born. As plans for the new group and album were being made, Harrison started to create a logo, and funny names that ended in Wilbury. George recalls, “Somebody was making these guitar picks and they said, ‘What should we put on them?’ Everybody has some smart little thing written on the pick. So, as we’d just been talking about these “Trembling Wilburys”, I had it misspelled on the guitar pick as “Travelling Wilburys”. But at that point, it was just a drunken thought at the back of my head.”
As George was creating an extended mix of his hit single “Got My Mind Set On You” the first Traveling Wilburys pick surfaced. During this session in which Harrison used a borrowed red Hamer guitar to record a solo for the mix, engineer Bill Botrell says, “We were sitting around, and George said, ‘Yeah, I guess we are going to have a group or something.’ Then he handed me a Travelling Wilburys guitar pick.”
Indeed, George’s “group or something” formed and each Wilbury came up with their own Wilbury name for the band and for their pick. The first album was titled Traveling Wilburys Volume 1. The picks with their pseudonyms are listed below:

‘Fragaria’ is the Latin name for which fruit? | Fragaria. | Henriette's Herbal Homepage
Henriette's Herbal Homepage
Welcome to the bark side.
Search form
Fragaria virginiana Duchesne. Scarlet Strawberry. Virginia Strawberry.
Fragaria. Rosaceae. Strawberry.
The Latin word for the strawberry, Fraga, has given name to the botanical genus Fragaria, which includes our edible species. Ruellius, 1536, says the French word fresas was applied to the fruit on account of the excellent sweetness of its odor, odore suavissimum, and taste; in 1554, this was spelled frayses by Amatus Lusitanicus, but the modern word fraise appeared in the form fraises, in Fuchsius, 1542, and Estienne, 1545. The Italian fraghe and fragole, as used by Matthiolus, 1571, and fragola as used by Zvingerus, 1696, and the modern Italians, appear to have come directly from the Latin; while the Spanish fresa and fresera must have had the same immediate origin as the French. Some of the ancient commentators and botanists seem to have derived the Latin name from fragrans, sweet-smelling, for Turner in his Libellus, 1538, says "fragum non fragrum (ut quidam scioli scribunt)," and Amatus Lusitanicus, 1554, writes fragra. The latter quotes Servius, a grammarian of the fifteenth century, as calling the fruit terrestria mora,— earth mulberry,—(or, following Dorstenius who wrote in 1540, "fructus terrae et mora terrestria)," whence the Spanish and Portuguese murangaos, (the modern Portuguese moranguoiro). The manner of the fruit-bearing, near the ground, seems to have been the character of the plant more generally observed, however, than that of the fruit, for we have Virgil's verse, "humi nascentia fraga," child of the soil, and Pliny's epithet, "terrestribus fragis," ground strawberry, as distinguishing from the Arbutus unedo Linn. or strawberry tree, as also the modern vernacular appellations, such as the Belgian eertbesien, Danish jordbeer, German erdbeere, Netherland aerdbesie, while even the English strawberry, the Anglo-Saxon streowberie, spelled in modern fashion by Turner in 1538, is said to have been derived from the spreading nature of the runners of the plant, and to have come originally from the observed strewed, anciently strawed, condition of the stems, and reading as if written strawedberry plant. It was called straeberry by Lidgate in the fifteenth century.
The classical history of the strawberry can be written very shortly. Virgil refers to the "humi nascentia fraga" in his third Eclogue; Ovid to the "arbuteos fructus mon-tanaque fraga" in his Metamorphoses, book I, v. 104, as furnishing a food of the golden age and again in the 13th book, "mollia fraga;" and Pliny mentions the plant by name in his lib. xxi, c. 50, and separates the ground strawberry from the arbutus tree in his lib. xv, c. 28. The fruit is not mentioned in the cook-book ascribed to Apicius Coelius, an author supposed to have lived about A. D. 230. The Greeks seem to have had no knowledge of the plant or fruit; at least there is no word in their writings which commentators have agreed in interpreting as applying to the strawberry. Nicolaus Myripsicus, an author of the tenth century, uses the word phragouli, and Forskal, in the eighteenth century, found the word phraouli in use for the strawberry by the Greeks about Belgrade. Fraas gives the latter word for the modern Greek, and Sibthorp the word kovkoumaria, which resembles the ancient Greek komaros or komaron, applied to the arbutus tree, whose fruit has a superficial resemblance to the strawberry.
Neither the strawberry nor its cultivation is mentioned by Ibnal-awam, an author of the tenth century, unusually full and complete in his treatment of garden, orchard, and field products, nor by Albertus Magnus, who died A. D. 1280. It is not mentioned in The Forme of Cury, a roll of ancient English cookery compiled about A. D. 1390 by two master cooks of King Richard II; nor in Ancient Cookery, a recipe book of 1381; nor at the Inthronization Feast of George Neville, Archbishop of York, in 1504. The fruit was, however, known in London in the time of Henry VI, for in a poem by John Lidgate, who died about 1483, we find
"Then unto London I dyde me hye,
Of all the land it bearyeth the pryse;
'Gode pescode,' one began to cry —
'Strabery rype, and cherry s in the ryse.' "
The strawberry is figured fairly well in the Ortus Sanitatis, 1511, c. 188, but there is no mention of culture. Ruellius, however, 1536, speaks of it as growing wild in shady situations, says gardens furnish a larger fruit, and mentions even a white variety. Fuchsius, 1542, also speaks of the larger garden variety, and Estinne, 1545, (perhaps also in his first edition of the De Re Hortensi, 1535), says strawberries are used as delicacies on the table, with sugar and cream, or wine, and that they are of the size of a hazelnut; he says the plants bear most palatable fruit, red, especially when they are fully ripe; that some grow on the mountains and woods, and are wild, but that some cultivated ones are so odorous that nothing can be more so, and that these are larger, and some are white, others red, yet others are both red and white.
Cultivated strawberries are also noted by many authors of the sixteenth century, as by Mizaldus, 1560; Pena and Lobel in 1571; and in 1586 Lyte's Dodoens records, "they be also much planted in gardens." Porta, 1592, regards them as among the delicacies of the garden and the delights of the palate. Hyll, 1593, says "they be much eaten at all men's tables," and that "they will grow in gardens unto the bigness of a mulberry." Le Jardinier Solitaire, 1612, gives directions for planting, and Parkinson, 1629, notes a number of varieties. As to size, Dorstenius, 1540, speaks of them as of the size of a hazel-nut; Bauhin, 1596, as being double the size of the wild; the Hortus Eystettensis, 1613, figures berries one and three-eighths inches in diameter; Parkinson, in 1629, as "neere five inches about;" Plat, 1653, as two inches about in bigness; Vaillant, 1727, as an inch and sometimes more in diameter. It remained for Frezier, who discovered Fragaria chiloensis, and brought it to Europe in 1712, to describe fruit as of the size of a walnut, sometimes as large as an egg; and Burbridge, a recent writer, says that in the Equatorial Andes, in the province of Ambato, there are strawberries growing wild, equal in size and flavor to some of our best varieties.
The strawberry plant is variable in nature, and it seems probable that the type of all the varieties noted under cultivation may be found in the wild plant, if diligently sought for. In the Maine fields there are plants of Fragaria vesca with roundish, as well as elongated fruit; of Fragaria virginiana with roundish berries and elongated berries, with berries having a distinct neck and those not necked; of a deep red, scarlet, and palish color; with large fruit and small fruit; with large growth and small growth, according to the fertility of the soil.
As to color of fruit, white strawberries, to be referred to Fragaria vesca, are mentioned by Ruellius, 1536, and by a host of following writers. Peck has found white berries of this species about Skaneateles, New York. A white-fruited variety of F. virginiana is noted by Dewey as abundant in the eastern portion of Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Molina records that the Chile strawberry, Fragaria chiloensis, in Chile has red, white, and yellow-fruited varieties, and Frezier, who introduced the species to Europe in 1712, calls the fruit pale red. Gmelin in his Flora Sibirica, 1768, mentions three varieties of Fragaria vesca; one with a larger flower and fruit, one with white fruit; a third with winged petioles and berries an inch long. This last variety seems to answer to those forms of strawberry plants occasionally found among the seedlings at the New York Agricultural Experiment Station, which have extra leaflets upon the stem of the petiole. Five-leaved strawberry plants are noted by many of the early writers; an account of such plants may also be found in the Report of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station for 1877.
Variegated-leaved forms are named by Tournefort, 1719, and a number of varieties by Mawe in 1778. Such forms were also noted among the seedling Alpines at the New York Station in 1887. Don, in his History of Dichlamydeous Plants, 1832, describes Fragaria vesca as varying into red, white, and black fruit, as without runners, as double flowered, as with stamens transformed into flowers, as without petals and with foliaceous sepals; F. majaufea Duch., as varying into green, red, and purple fruit; F. breslingea Duch., as having varieties with usually five-lobed leaves; F. elatior as possessing a curled-leaved form; F. grandiflora as furnishing a variegated-leaved form; and F. chiloensis as having red-fleshed and white-fleshed fruit. Among the variations to be also noted is that of losing all its leaves in winter ascribed to the F. viridis Weston, and the twice-bearing habit of the Alpines, F. vesca Linn., var. a.
The earliest cultivated variety with a distinct nomenclature seems to be the Le Chapiron, of the Gallobelgians, a variety with a large, pale-colored berry, so named by Lobel, in 1576, and called by him Chapiton in the index to his Icones, 1591. (The Capiton of Tournefort, 1719, seems to correspond to the modern Hautbois class.) The name, Le Capiton, occurs also in the Hortus Regius Parisiis, 1665. It is quite probable that the Caprons mentioned by Quintinye in 1672, are the same or a similar variety, as both kinds are to be referred to Fragaria elatior Ehrh.

The modern varieties under American culture have usually large berries with more or less sunken seeds, with the trusses lower than the leaves, and seem to belong mostly to the species represented in nature by Fragaria virginiana, although they are supposed hybridizations with Fragaria chiloensis, and, in the higher-flavored class, with Fragaria elatior. Certain it is that, in growing seedlings from our improved varieties, reversions often occur to varieties referable to the Hautbois and Chilean sorts, from which hybridization can be inferred. One notes as of common occurrence that seedlings from high-flavored varieties are very likely to furnish some plants of the Hautbois class, and even scarcely, if at all, distinguishable from named varieties of the Hautbois with which there has been opportunity for close comparison. From large-berried varieties of diminished flavor, and which occasionally throw hollowed berries, the reversion occasionally produces plants unmistakably of the Chilean type. In other cases we have noticed reversions to forms of Fragaria vesca.
These circumstances all lead towards establishing the mingled parentage of our varieties under cultivation, and render the classification of cultivated varieties somewhat difficult. Vilmorin seems to have separated varieties into natural groupings under the headings: Wood strawberries, Fragaria vesca Linn.; Alpine strawberries, Fragaria alpina Pers.; Short-runnered Fragaria collina Ehrh.; Hautbois, Fragaria elatior Ehrh.; Scarlet, Fragaria virginiana Ehrh.; Chile, Fragaria chiloensis Duch.; Pineapple, Fragaria grandiflora Ehrh., and Hybrid (Fragaria hybrida). Under the latter distribution, to which he does not venture the Latin nomenclature, he does not recognize sufficient identity of character for general description, but one may well believe that an extended acquaintance with varieties will enable a description to be formulated which will make of this group a species by convenience, or, otherwise expressed, a historical species, with a number of subspecies (for convenience) which shall simplify the question of arrangement and which will enable us to secure a quicker identification of varieties.
The changes which have been produced, or have appeared under cultivation, seem comparatively few. 1. Increased size of plant. Yet in nature we find variability in this respect, arising from greater or less fertility or favoring character of the soil and exposure. This increase of size seems also in a measure to have become hereditary. 2. Increased size of berry. In nature we find variability in this respect. All analogical reasoning justifies the belief that this gain may arise through heredity influenced by long series of selections. 3. Firmness of berry. Present knowledge does not admit of assigning a cause for this feature, unless it has been gained through hybridization. 4. Flavor. This seems to be the direct sequence of hybridization, in its more marked aspects; in its lesser aspects it does not seem to exceed that which occurs between natural varieties. 5. Aspect. This seems to have been acquired through the action of hybridization, when the influence of one parent appears to have become predominant. The whole subject of the influences noted and to be ascribed to -hybridization must be left for further study.

Fragaria chiloensis Duchesne. Garden Strawberry. Pine Strawberry.
Western shores of the New World. This is a dioecious strawberry, bearing very large fruit and called in Chile quelghen. The best quality of fruit, according to Molina, came from the Chilean provinces of Puchacay and Huilquilemu. The plant was carried by Frezier in 1712 from Conception to Europe and from Europe was carried to the West Indies. Prince describes the Large Scarlet Chile as imported to this country from Lima, about 1820, and the Montevideo, about 1840, and 14 other, varieties originating from this species.
Fragaria collina Ehrh. Green Strawberry.
Europe and northern Asia. The fruits are greenish, tinged with red, of a musky, rich, pineapple flavor. Prince enumerates four varieties as cultivated.
Fragaria elatior Ehrh. Hautbois Strawberry.
Europe. The French call this class of strawberries caprons. The fruit has a musky flavor which many persons esteem. Prince describes eight varieties in cultivation.
Fragaria vesca Linn. Alpine Strawberry. Perpetual Strawberry. Wood Strawberry.
Temperate regions. Previous to 1629, the date of the introduction of the Virginian strawberry, this was the species generally gathered in Europe and the fruit referred to by Shakespeare:
"My lord of Ely, when I was last in Holbom,
I saw good strawberries in your garden there."
This species is mentioned by Virgil, Ovid and Pliny as a wild plant. Lyte, in his translation of Dodoens' Herball, refers to it as growing wild in 1578 and first appearing in an improved variety in cultivation about 1660. A. De Candolle, however, states that it was cultivated in the mediaeval period. Gray says it is indigenous in the United States, particularly northward. In Scandinavia, it ripens beyond 70°. Prince enumerates 10 varieties of the Wood, and 15 varieties of the Alpine, under cultivation. In 1766, Duchesne says, "The King of England was understood to have received the first seed from Turin." It was such a rarity that a pinch of seed sold for a guinea.
Fragaria virginiana Duchesne. Scarlet Strawberry. Virginia Strawberry.
Eastern North America. Called by the New England Indians wuttahimneask. The Indians bruised this strawberry with meal in a mortar and made bread. This fruit was mentioned by Edward Winslow in Massachusetts in 1621. The settlers on the ship Arabella, at Salem, June 12, 1630, went ashore and regaled themselves with strawberries. Wood, in his New England Prospects, says strawberries were in abundance, "verie large ones, some being two inches about." Roger Williams says "this berry is the wonder of all the fruits growing naturally in these parts. It is of itself excellent; so that one of the chiefest doctors of England was wont to say, that God could have made, but God never did make, a better berry. In some parts where the Indians have planted, I have many times seen as many as would fill a good ship, within few miles compass." This fruit was first mentioned in England, by Parkinson, 1629, but it was a hundred years or more afterwards before attention began to be paid to improved seedlings. Hovey's Seedling was originated in America in 1834. Prince, in 1861, gives a descriptive list of 87 varieties which he refers to this species.

Are Bert and Ernie named after characters from It's a Wonderful Life?

Bert and Ernie catch a scene from It's a Wonderful Life in the Elmo Saves Christmas special.
It has been stated in numerous articles, websites and television shows that Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street were named after two characters from the film It's a Wonderful Life , Bert the policeman and Ernie the cab driver. The statement often surfaces around Christmas , or in filler "trivia" columns in newspapers.
There has never been any official confirmation of this statement. On the contrary, most sources from the Henson company have claimed it to be merely a coincidence.
The old Ask Henson.com website features this response :
“ While Bert and Ernie's names have often been linked to those of the cop and cab driver in It's A Wonderful Life, Jim Henson and others have always said that that is just a coincidence. Apparently, Bert's and Ernie's names were picked just because the creators/writers liked them, they fit the characters, and they sounded good together. ”
A more in-depth response was given by Jerry Juhl , writing to The San Francisco Chronicle to correct the "Annual Xmas Quiz" from December 27, 1999:
“ I was the head writer for the Muppets for 36 years and one of the original writers on Sesame Street. The rumor about It's a Wonderful Life has persisted over the years.
I was not present at the naming, but I was always positive it was incorrect. Despite his many talents, Jim had no memory for details like this. He knew the movie, of course, but would not have remembered the cop and the cabdriver. I was not able to confirm this with Jim before he died, but shortly thereafter I spoke to Jon Stone , Sesame Street's first producer and head writer and a man largely responsible for the show's format. (Jon, sadly, is no longer with us either.)
He assured me that Ernie and Bert were named one day when he and Jim were studying the prototype puppets. They decided that one of them looked like an Ernie, and the other one looked like a Bert. The movie character names are purely coincidental. [1] ”
The show referenced the persistent rumor in the 1996 special Elmo Saves Christmas . In one scene, Ernie and Bert walk by a TV set, which is playing the movie. The pair are surprised by the following dialogue: "Bert! Ernie! What's the matter with you two guys? You were here on my wedding night!"
The rumor has been reinforced by various sources, including Sesame Workshop , through their 35 anniversary trivia quiz on Sesamestreet.org , [2] on VEE Corporation 's Sesame Street Live Facebook fan page, [3] and even by Sesame Workshop CEO Gary Knell . [4]

I love the movie It’s a Wonderful Life . By now, you probably all know the story – George Bailey’s life takes a bad turn and he is ready to give it all up until Clarence Oddbody, Angel Second Class rescues him and shows him how things would have been worse if George had never been born.
No matter how many times I see it, it still gets to me. But, here are a few facts about the movie you may not have known:
10. What a Bargain!
RKO Pictures bought the movie rights in 1946 for $10,000.
9. The Greatest Gift
The writer, Philip Van Doren, sent out the original story as a Christmas card titled “The Greatest Gift” to friends in 1943. Frank Capra later changed the name to It’s a Wonderful Life.
8. George Bailey
James Stewart was Capra’s favorite choice to play George Bailey, even though his other film roles had not been as dramatic or complex as this one.
7. In Pop Culture
It’s a Wonderful Life has left a lasting impression on our pop culture. Do you remember ZuZu’s petals? Well, this was used as the title of a rock band, a character in the movie The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, and in a Far Side comic.
6. In Pop Culture II
In a “Married…with Children” episode, comedian Sam Kinison appeared at Clarence to Al Bundy’s George Bailey. Unfortunately, those around Al would have had a better life without him, but he decided he wanted to live to make them miserable anyhow.
5. Snowflakes
Painted cornflakes were usually used in movies for snow at the time It’s a Wonderful Life was made, but they were too noisy. Instead, they used a mixture of shaved ice, gypsum, plaster, and a fomite-soap-water mixture.
4. Donna Reed’s Arm
Do you remember the scene where Donna Reed throws a rock into the old house on 320 Sycamore to make a wish? The studio had originally hired a crewmember to throw for her, but to their surprise, she had a powerful and accurate arm, so she threw the rock herself.
3. The Swimming Pool
The Charleston scene was filmed at the Beverly Hills High School and yes, the gym floor did really move to reveal the swimming pool below.
2. Academy Awards Nominations
Although it didn’t win any, It’s a Wonderful Life was nominated for five Academy Awards: Best Actor (James Stewart), Best Director (Frank Capra), Best Sound Recording (John Aalberg), Best Picture (Frank Capra), and Best Editing (William Hornbeck).
1. Just a Coincidence
I always believe that the Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie must have been named after the characters from this film (Bert was the policeman, Ernie was the taxi driver), but the producers of Sesame Street say there in no connection between the characters.

Iggle Piggle (second left) and his chums will get their own parks BBC
For a generation of children and their grateful parents the exploits of Iggle Piggle and his chums have offered a hypnotic wind-down before bed.
Now fans are set to be able to visit In the Night Garden for themselves after it emerged that the CBeebies characters are to be stars of their own play parks.
The new attraction will be the first in the UK to be based on the Bafta-winning TV programme which has already spawned a best-selling magazine, a range of merchandise – including a Ninky Nonk train set – and a live show.
A location for the first of the sites has not been found although it is expected they will be sited in shopping centres or pre-exisiting attractions. The concept is already a reality in China where the show is hugely popular
Paragon, which will own and operate the play centres, built the new £5m Wallace and Gromit ride at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, as well as producing the set works for the £97m RMS Titanic exhibition in her home port of Belfast.
Paragon chief executive Mark Pyrah said the brand remained hugely popular. “We look forward to working with In the Night Garden to create an innovative and memorable children’s play experience.”
First broadcast in 2007, the show was the brainchild of Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport, creators of Teletubbies a decade earlier – which went on to become the world’s most successful children’s TV franchise, broadcast in more than 120 countries.
Night Garden, which provides an equally benign and calming setting for its colourful and faintly psychedelic characters, has proved just as popular with young audiences, becoming a fixture of the CBeebies Bedtime Hour.
BBC bosses faced a furious backlash from parents when the corporation tried to move Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka to a different time slot, with some claiming their children refused to believe it was really time to go to sleep without having seen the programme.
The final programme was aired in 2009, although it is still shown as repeats.
Tom Roe, commercial director of DHX Media, which produces the programme, said the theme park would enhance the characters’ appeal: “For the first time little fans will be able to immerse themselves in the brand through a play-centre experience.”

John George Diefenbaker was born in Neustadt, Ontario in 1895. He won a House of Commons seat in 1940 and the Conservative Party leadership in 1956. He became Prime Minister of Canada after the 1957 election.
As Prime Minister, Diefenbaker introduced legislation that improved social and agricultural programs. He also stood up for and promoted the principle of human rights, both inside and outside the country. The Conservative Party lost the 1963 election, but Diefenbaker continued to represent his riding until his death in 1979.

John George Diefenbaker
1895 - 1979
Thirteenth Prime Minister of Canada (1957-1963). "Dief the Chief" was a successful criminal lawyer who ran for political office five times before finally winning a seat in the Canadian House of Commons in 1940. He became leader of the Progressive Conservative Party in 1956, and was a fierce leader of the Opposition leading into the 1957 election. During that campaign, his theatrical style helped win a minority government, followed by a majority in the election of 1958. Diefenbaker's government focused on the "progressive" side of the agenda, and introduced or refined social programs to the increasing ire of conservative party members and voters. He won a minority government in 1962, despite growing resentment of him in the party and country, but lost the subsequent election of 1963 to the Liberals. The growing split between conservatives and radicals in his party led to his losing the leadership to Robert Stanfield in 1967, but he remained a PC Member of Parliament until his death.
The day that Parliament becomes a slot machine into which you may drop a slug and out comes legislation, freedom ends.

Parliament is more than procedure - it is the custodian of the nation's freedom.

Tel Aviv's airport safety to be studied 02:02
Tel Aviv, Israel (CNN)
As security concerns mount at international airports, more security officials are turning to Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport to understand what it does differently.
The airport, considered one of the safest in the world, has layers of security, only partially visible to the 16 million passengers who pass through every year.
No flight leaving the airport has ever been hijacked, and there has not been a terrorist attack at the airport since 1972, when three members of the Japanese Red Army killed 26 people and wounded dozens more in a shooting rampage.
The security begins in the Airport Security Operations Center, located near the airport. The small room, staffed 24/7, monitors every flight in Israeli airspace, including transit flights and nearby aircraft.
Each flight, each passenger, and each member of the flight crew are checked long before arriving in Israeli airspace. There is never a moment without pressure. An off-course aircraft or a flight without proper security clearance is flagged immediately.

MORE: Airport security: Can attacks be prevented?
Dvir Rubinshtein, manager of the operations center for Israel's Ministry of Transportation, estimates that 10 flights a day are flagged and checked. Since Ben Gurion is Israel's only major international airport, shutting down the airport would effectively cut off Israel from the air.
"There is, every day, a situation where we have such concerns [about a flight]," said Rubinshtein, "and we check that and verify that everything is security cleared."
JFK delays: Computer outage causes headaches
Next month, Ben Gurion airport will host visitors from 40 different countries to discuss airport security, officials say.
Interest in Israeli airport security has grown after the attacks in Brussels, the crash of MetroJet Flight 9268, and now EgyptAir Flight 804.
Ben Gurion is a relatively small airport -- the airport handles about 20% of the passengers of London's Heathrow International Airport and 15% of Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, which just signed a cooperation agreement with Ben Gurion.
Some of the security measures employed at the airport are not scalable to larger hubs, but "some fundamental principles and some best practices can be deployed in other parts of the world," said aviation security expert Shalom Dolev. "It's not a copy and paste because it's not a situation where one size fits all."
Critics have accused both Israel and the United States of racial profiling as part of their aviation security procedures.
Dolev says it is risk-based security. Palestinians and Arabs passing through Ben Gurion say they are more likely to be stopped, searched, and questioned. Last year, Israel's High Court of Justice refused to ban racial profiling in a case brought by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel. The court did leave the door open for the group to file a case in the future.
Security expert Dolev says the Israeli tactics are risk-based security and don't amount to "profiling."
In the United States, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has touted its evolution from a "one-size-fits-all security screening approach to a risk-based, intelligence-driven strategy."
But that strategy, which includes a Behavior Detection and Analysis program that the agency says is scientifically substantiated, has long been criticized by passengers, security analysts and civil liberties advocates as flawed and discriminatory.
MORE: World's busiest airports announced
The American Civil Liberties Union sued for records related to the program in 2015 to gauge the program's effectiveness.
"Most of the countries are actually coming here often to see how Israel is dealing with security aviation and the threats from terror aviation," Rubinshtein said.
In February, Israel issued a security directive to airlines flying to Israel. The directive adds security checks to each flight.
"The circles of threat are further expanding to insiders working at the airports," said Dolev.
"Insiders that are working at resorts and may have access to the luggage of passengers, insiders that may work at airports or even in cabin crew. And last but not least, the phenomenon we are facing since the early-90s of suicide pilots."
Asked what makes Israel different, Dolev says, "We are more flexible, more dynamic to respond to emerging threats and respond effectively."

ON FRIDAY, the armed wing of Hamas released a statement telling airlines and air travellers that it intended to fire rockets at Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV) near Tel Aviv. "We warn you against carrying out flights to Ben-Gurion airport, which will be one of our targets today because it also hosts a military air base," the Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades said, claiming that "it had issued the warning to airlines so that injury to their passengers could be avoided," according to NBC News.
Ben Gurion is Israel's busiest and most important airport by far, handling the vast bulk of international travel to the country. Serious damage to the airport could hamper Israel's economy significantly. But Hamas's rockets are inaccurate, and Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted several of them over the weekend. So far, there has been no damage to the airport. (A Delta plane heading for New York had to turn back after mechanical trouble, which no doubt spooked the passengers, but had nothing to do with the conflict.)
It is possible that Hamas simply intended the statement to scare off international airlines from landing at Ben Gurion; so far, that hasn't worked. Gulliver's rule of thumb is that if the big international airlines, which are generally highly safety- and cost-conscious, are still landing somewhere, it's probably safe for business travellers to fly there. Israeli air traffic control will stop flights from landing during rocket barrages, but delays of this sort are generally of limited duration: a flight pause on Friday morning lasted about 10 minutes, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Caracal
The caracal is also commonly known as the Persian Lynx or African Lynx despite the fact that the caracal is not a lynx at all. The caracal is thought to be most closely related to the African golden cat and the serval.
The caracals name is believed to come from the Turkish word Karakulak, which means black ears. The caracal typically has 20 different muscles in the caracals ears which enables the caracal to detect prey.
The caracal is a medium sized cat however, with the caracal , its size appears to make little difference on what the caracal hunts. Scientists have found dead ostriches with caracal tooth-marks in them, meaning that the caracal is fast enough to outrun and catch an ostrich , and strong enough to overpower it and kill it.
The caracal has also been known to leap up into the air to successfully catch and kill flying birds . The caracals are excellent acrobats and can land safely.
The caracal is normally dark red, grey, or golden sand in colour and as the caracals name suggests, the caracals ears are black, with tufts. Young caracals bear reddish spots on the underbelly that disappear when they grow up.
The caracal mainly hunts rodents, birds (including ostriches), antelopes , gazelles, and rabbits . The caracal tends to avoid eating very stiff fur by neatly shearing it off with their claws, but they are tolerant of feathers.
The caracal can live up to around 12 years in the wild, with some adult caracals living to 17 years old in captivity. The caracal is found in Africa and Southwest Asia , where the caracal prefers grasslands (savannas and tropical grasslands), and deserts .

The ‘Fringe Festival’, held in August each year, is hosted by which European city? | Interview with Charlie Redmon and Marion Holmes
Do they have scent glands or an offensive smell?
CR: No, but they will spray occasionally.
MH: The do tend to get a slight smell but we had him castrated at nine months to reduce the smell and also to curb the strong feelings of wanderlust.
What is their average life span?
CR: I believe about 15 years with a proper diet and care.
MH: About 15 years in captivity.
Do they enjoy interaction?
CR: Only on their terms, if she wants to be touched she'll come to you, usually she wants to be in the room, but not touched.
MH: Yes - they thrive on it!
What is their general personality, disposition, and attitude?
CR: In a way typical cat attitude, mine loves high perches and wants to know everything that's going on, doesn't want to be messed with unless it's to play.
MH: Loving personality but can get really grouchy when he doesn't get what he wants - especially around feeding time.
Are they sweet and petable, or mischievous and playful?
CR: Love to play and chase toys. I wouldn't call her petable or sweet, I would say she has fit's of sweetness that generally only last for a minute or two when she'll bump her head against you and want a little affection. Because of these fit's of affection being so short spaced out, it makes it that much more special when she comes up to say I love you in her own little way. She wants to play more than there are hours in the day, chasing balls, toys, or the two domestic cats that I have that she will absolutely run into the ground wanting to play with.
MH: All of the above. At night if came home late he would jump on the bed and start kneading the blankets on top of you and purr away - like a diesel engine going off next to you.
How destructive are they for an average household?
CR: I'm convinced that a human could walk into a room and declare it totally empty and Princess could go into it and show you a half dozen thing's to play with. They will chew on things, such as wooden window frames or ledges. Forget having anything sitting out that's even remotely breakable unless you want it broken. When they cut teeth, they will chew on anything they can fit in their mouth. Think of your three favorite things you have in your house (figurines/pictures/etc), three favorite articles of fabric (clothes/blankets) and think of your three favorite things in your house that don't fit into there. Now take one thing out of each category and get ready to throw it away because it is going to be broken or chewed up. There is no place in the house that will be safe from her, it's not possible to put anything high enough, they do get big enough and are athletic enough to jump up and touch the ceiling. One of these days I halfway expect to come home and find a ceiling fan laying in the middle of the floor. Locking stuff up in a cabinet will only get her attention to go inside it that much more whenever you do happen to open the door on it.
MH: Very Destructive - will shred furniture if not given enough attention. Also, almost impossible to house train, so he constantly marked territory in the house even though he was castrated.
Do they climb or tear up furniture?
CR: YES!!! They will climb anything climbable and some stuff that isn't. Plan on your furniture at some time or another being used as a chew toy. If you've heard of the idea of throwing a small pillow at them to break them from destroying furniture, this doesn't work with exotic cats like it does domestics. All it'll do, is probably get her attention to chasing and playing with the pillow for the moment. Arms on furniture will be chewed on at some time or another, and if you have chairs with wooden legs on them, expect to have those chewed on too.
MH: Yes - when he felt neglected.
Are there any problems associated with their claws?
CR: Only up to about sixteen weeks old, at which time they will be about the size of a full grown domestic cat and their claws will be about twice the size you would expect. This is the age that's generally recommended for declawing which is a must for cats like this that are intended as pets. Once full grown if they were to have claws still, there wouldn't be anything such as a simple scratch needing a Band-Aid, it would be a trip to an emergency room for stitches.
MH: Yes, but only when playing or in regards to the above.
How messy are their droppings?
CR: Nothing really special, just very big!
MH: Can be quite pungent!
Can they be litter box trained?
CR: Yes, although they may not be willing to go look for one which means litter boxes in most rooms of the house somewhere.
MH: Not really. Possibly, with lots of consistent work.
Can they be trained?
CR: About like a typical cat I'd say, may be trainable some, but with a lot of work.
MH: To a limited degree.
How are they with other pets, larger and smaller?
CR: This will probably depend more on each individual caracal. Mine is great with the domestics as far as her attitude goes, but she does get a bit rough sometimes just playing with them. Forget about keeping birds in the house at all, that's not going to work at all. I don't imagine small house dogs would be a good idea either.
MH: Fine. Sly grew up with the dogs (one took over the role of the mother) and the cats (he grew up with a three month old kitten). He was devastated when the kitten died from complications from kidney stones. I didn't realize how the the bond was. We did get another cat of about a year when the other cat died and sly was fine with him. He wanted to play the usual games and the poor new cat didn't know what hit him! But they eventually also became buddies.
What size cage do they need?
CR: A twelve hundred square foot house works nicely! :) To build an outside pen for one I don't know, they need to be able to run so it would need a fairly large pen.
MH: I did not keep him in a cage as I personally fell that is not the right thing to keep a wild animal caged. But, if kept in a cage it would have to be at least ten meters square - they require a lot of space.
What do you feed them?
CR: Chicken is the main diet food, along with exotic cat food and rodents, plus vitamin and calcium supplements.
What vaccinations/vet care do they require?
CR: Very big thing to keep in mind here. They have to have totally killed vaccines which most veterinarian's don't keep in stock which means you would need to let your vet know what you are planning on getting way ahead of time so they can expect it and be ready for it. They also will hide being sick from you, you have to learn to recognize changes in them and be able to figure out if they are just having a lazy day for instance, or if they are being a bit slower because they are actually quite sick. They don't show symptoms like domestic animals do, and once they start showing obvious signs of being sick, it probably means you should have had them at the vet's office a week ago. They can crash overnight, and by crash, I mean that they may be up walking around one evening (hiding being sick) jumping up onto counters and getting in the way, and the next morning finally give in to whatever is bothering them and be so bad off that they can't even stand up. This isn't something I'm exaggerating or making up either, I have personally seen cat's crash this hard this fast. You also have to have a vet that is willing to work on an animal that may very well be like a totally wild animal towards them.
At what age would it be best to get one?
CR: It is a MUST that you get a kitten when it's time for it to be weaned, or as close to it as possible if you plan on having one for a pet. You should be ready to expect to bring home an animal that may seem wild until she get's used to her new owner and new home. You can't get one from someone else that they've raised and bring it home to keep in the house as a pet. This also means that once you get one, you are making a decision to take care of it for it's lifetime.
MH: Around the age of two weeks, just after the eyes have opened. Otherwise, it is impossible to tame them. At this stage they need to be bottle fed every two hours. At the age of three to four weeks they need solid foods introduced. They still need to drink milk for as long as possible - as they are prone to rickettes.
Other Consideration for owners of Caracals?
CR: First big consideration, kids. If you either have children, or plan on having them, then this is not an animal you want in the house. They are still wild, they will challenge you at times to see who's boss, and this isn't something you want around kids, that's most certainly going to lead to problems.
MH: Think long and hard before obtaining a caracal.
What kind of person should own these animals?
CR: Probably a very small percentage of people should actually keep these animals. They will push your patience probably most every day. Aside from being expensive, they aren't something to just go out and buy. Don't be surprised if you have to put down a one thousand dollar deposit, then have to wait six months on a waiting list before actually getting your kitten.
MH: Patient, tireless, love cats, lots of time.

New Zealand born cartoonist David Low created which ‘Colonel’ in the 1930’s? | David Low | Lambiek Comiclopedia
David Low
(7 April 1891, New Zealand - 19 September 1963, UK)
David Low was a New Zealand cartoonist, who is best-known for the political cartoons he made in the UK during the 1930s and 1940s. Born in Dunedin, he had his first work published at age 11 and began his career with The Canterbury Times in 1910. After working in Australia for The Bulletin for a while, he moved to England in 1919. He was employed by The London Star until 1927 and then joined The Evening Standard. It was for this paper that Low created his famous commentaries on the turbulent political situation of the 1930s and 1940s, from the rise of fascism and the Spanish Civil War to the conflict of World War II.
From Low's Topical Budget of 12 February 1938
His cartoons often featured sharp depictions of the political leaders of the time, but also the character of 'Colonel Blimp', a caricature of the British establishment. His 'Topical Budget' cartoon series also featured a strips about 'Hit and Muss' (Hitler and Mussolini), that led to a ban of his work in Italy and Germany, and to his inclusion in the so-called "Black Book" of prominent Britons to be arrested upon a Nazi invasion of Britain.
Low left The Evening Standard in 1950 and then continued his career working for the Daily Herald and The Manchester Guardian. He was knighted in 1962 and passed away during the following year.

In medicine, myology is the study of the structure, arrangement and action of what? | David Low: cartoonist: created Colonel Blimp
What happened on this day in history.
SEPTEMBER 19th
On this day in history in 1963, died David Low.
Low was a cartoonist and satirist whose work was noted for his character of Colonel Blimp, and for his unflattering depictions of Hitler.
David Alexander Cecil Low was born on 7th April 1891 at Dunedin, New Zealand, son of newly arrived Scottish immigrants. The family later moved to Christchurch, where Low attended Christchurch Boys' High School. At the age of 11, Low submitted some of his artwork to a local newspaper, who published some of his sketches. He was encouraged to draw in sketch or cartoon form, a style which lent itself easily to newsprint.
At the age of 17, he obtained a post on the Bulletin of Sydney, a journal noted for its outspoken views. Here, Low produced a number of popular and impudent cartoons of Australia's Prime Minister William �Billy� Hughes, a controversial politician who often changed his standpoint on issues of the day, and eventually won popular acclaim by forming the �Win the War Party�. In 1918, Low published his work in book form, under the name of The Billy Book, and sent copies to British newspapers, in the hope of securing employment.
In 1919, he was offered a job with the London Daily News group, on the Star, remaining there until 1927, when he joined the Evening Standard at the invitation of Lord Beaverbrook. Here Low produced his best work, with political cartoons of the events leading up to The Second World War. He created the character of Colonel Blimp, a hugely moustachioed stout individual, representative of the outmoded establishment, whom Low saw as bringing the country to disaster. He depicted the Trade Union movement as a carthorse, struggling to bear the load required by modern industry. He caricatured the figures of fascist dictators Hitler and Mussolini, representing them as pompous and ridiculous personalities, with no personal or endearing qualities. His work was banned in Germany and Italy and, it is said that Low was on the Nazi �death list�. When, after the war, Low was told that he was on the list, he relied "That is all right. I had them on my list too." On one occasion, Nazi Propaganda Minister, Josef Goebbels, protested to British Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax, that Low was damaging Anglo-German relations. Low continued his work during the Second World War, mercilessly satirising Hitler, the Nazis, the German army, and enemy occupation of European countries.
In 1950, Low moved to the Daily Herald, and in 1953, he joined The Guardian. He received a knighthood in 1962. Low died at his home in London, on 19th September 1963. His obituary in The Guardian described him as �the dominant cartoonist of the western world�.

Alice Springs
Today's Weather in Alice Springs
In the heart of Australia lies Alice Springs, an oasis in the true sense of the word.
By Stephanie Williams
Surrounded by red dirt and hauntingly beautiful mountain ranges you'll find Alice Springs, a city of arts and events. Alice Springs – known to locals as simply "Alice" – is the beating heart of Australia's Red Centre. It's a great base for exploring the natural wonders of the Northern Territory's outback, including Uluru , Kata Tjuta , Kings Canyon , the West MacDonnell Ranges and their iconic Larapinta Trail , the red sands of the Simpson Desert and the haunting sight of the Devils Marbles . It's also a fascinating spot to explore Australia's Aboriginal culture.
HOW TO GET THERE
Qantas has direct flights to Alice Springs from most major cities in Australia. Virgin Australia offers direct flights from Adelaide and Darwin. Alice Springs sits between the capital cities of Darwin and Adelaide, with a major sealed highway connecting the three destinations. It's about 16 hours from Alice Springs to either city, and the road has regular gas stations, small towns and roadhouses. Another popular way to experience the area is via The Ghan , a comfortable and scenic train journey between Adelaide and Darwin via Alice Springs and Katherine .
Discover Aboriginal art in the city's galleries
Take a helicopter ride over the West MacDonnell Ranges
See sunrise or sunset over the red rocks of Uluru and Kata Tjuta
TOP THINGS TO DO IN ALICE SPRINGS
Visit Aboriginal art galleries
Australian Aboriginal art is the oldest ongoing art tradition in the world. Early Aboriginal stories and culture were expressed in rock carvings, body painting and ground designs, some dating back more than 30,000 years. In 1971 a schoolteacher, Geoffrey Bardon, saw the impermanent art being creating just north-west of Alice Spring at Papunya. He introduced paints and canvas to the community and many locals began adapting their styles to take advantage of these new, Western mediums. The Western Desert art movement was born. Artworks are displayed in galleries across Alice Springs, such as the Papunya Tula gallery, owned and directed by traditional Aboriginal people from the Western Desert. Lose yourself exploring the range of private and collectively owned galleries lining Todd Mall, a pedestrian-only shopping strip in the centre of town, or visit the collection at the Araluen Arts Centre . The Tjanpi Desert Weavers is a social enterprise that takes basket weaving to the next level.
Get to know the city's outback culture
Climb to the top of Anzac Hill for sweeping views over Alice Springs and the distant MacDonnell Ranges. Breakfast in one of the bustling cafés along Todd Mall, then join the hop-on/hop-off bus to the town’s main attractions such as the Telegraph Station Historical Reserve , part of the revolutionary telegraph system that connected England with Australia in 1872, or the School of the Air Visitor Centre , where you can sit in on a virtual lesson with Australian children who live in remote parts of Australia's centre. Wander through the Araluen Cultural Precinct , learning about Central Australian mythology, art and culture. The precinct's attractions include the Albert Namatjira Gallery and the Museum of Central Australia . Return to Anzac Hill to catch the mesmerising, lava-like sunset before enjoying a dinner at one of the buzzing restaurants in town.
Explore the MacDonnell Ranges
Stretching out hundreds of kilometres each side of Alice Springs are the caterpillar-like East and West MacDonnell Ranges. They’re full of incredible views, hiking, 4WD tracks, freshwater swimming holes and camping spots. Spend a day in the West MacDonnell Ranges (home to the Larapinta Trail) to discover Simpsons Gap and black-footed rock wallabies. See the soaring red cliffs and swimming holes at Ormiston Gorge and Pound, or visit Finke Gorge National Park . Hire a car and explore the region yourself, take a day tour , or jump on board an unforgettable scenic flight over the area.
Trek the Larapinta Trail
Starting just outside Alice Springs city centre, the 223 kilometre (139 mile) Larapinta Trail has 12 sections that can be walked in part or in full. A number of companies, such as World Expeditions and Trek Larapinta , offer guided multi-day walking adventures along the trail. You'll find varying grades and terrain along the trail, which is dotted with freshwater swimming holes at various points, and takes in several stunning gorges and scenic mountain peaks. The best time of year on the trail is from May to August.
Explore the grandeur of Kings Canyon
Halfway between Alice Springs and Uluru lies Kings Canyon , an ancient formation of soaring red rock faces with dense palm forests below. About 600 species of plants and animals live here, alongside the Luritja Aboriginal people, who have called the Watarrka National Park area home for more than 20,000 years. Climb to the top of the rim of Kings Canyon at sunrise or sunset. The challenging six kilometre (3.7 mile) Kings Canyon Rim Walk takes three to four hours. You can also take a guided rim walk with an Aboriginal elder and learn about the significance of the area to its traditional owners. The shorter and easier Kings Creek Walk at the canyon base leads you through lush ferns and eucalypts to a platform with views of the sheer canyon walls above. If you'd like to rest your legs, you can explore the landscape from the back of a camel, take the scenic route on a helicopter flight, or tour Kings Creek Station by quad bike.
Spend some time at Uluru
There really is nothing else on earth like Uluru or its sister rock formation, Kata Tjuta. Stay at Ayers Rock Resort , which offers a range of accommodation styles from camping and hostel-style accommodation, through to the five-star Sails in the Desert hotel. Or check in to the exclusive Longitude 131 , which is so close to Uluru that you don't even have to lift your head from your fluffy pillow to see it.

Manuka, Tupelo and Firewood are all types of which foodstuff? | Alice Springs - Australia's Northern Territory
Australia's Northern Territory
Alice Springs is located in the Red Centre of Australia adjacent to the Simpson Desert. ‘The Alice’, as it is known, combines laid-back charm with all the modern conveniences, comforts and diversions you’d find in a good-sized town. It’s full of friendly people and has shopping, bars, cafés, restaurants, markets, live entertainment, a casino and an arts and convention centre.
With a population of 28 605*, Alice Springs offers a variety of housing choices ranging from modest units to architecturally-stunning apartments and houses overlooking the McDonnell Ranges.
The climate promotes an outdoor lifestyle, backed up by excellent sporting and recreational venues and facilities - including one of the world’s top 10 desert golf courses, nestled on the side of the spectacular MacDonnell Ranges.
Alice Springs is one of seven Australian regions participating in the Australian Government’s Solar City program, and with an average of 300 sunny days a year the town is well on its way to becoming a solar energy model for the rest of Australia and the world.
Arts and culture are strong in The Alice. Many locals belong to wide-ranging organisations, clubs and groups which encourage active participation in visual art of many genres, theatre, dance, music and craft. Alice Springs has a diverse multicultural community with around 20% of the population being Indigenous Australians.
Alice Springs is surrounded by breathtaking gorges and waterholes, all easily accessible by road, walking trails and bicycle tracks. It’s the perfect base from which to explore the MacDonnell Ranges where Alice Springs is situated. Or visit Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) which are a 500 km drive from Alice Springs. Or fossick for gemstones and generally enjoy the richly-coloured wide open spaces of the Red Centre.
In the Centre, there is an abundance and beauty of native vegetation. River red gums thrive in the beds of the Centre’s many underground river systems, marking where the region’s hidden waters lie. Other trees of infinite variety feature in the landscape, from desert oaks and mulga trees to palms and cycads that have survived the millions of years since the Centre was a tropical forest. At times, brilliant wildflowers create dramatic bursts of colour throughout the region.

Zac Efron
Zachary David Alexander Efron was born October 18, 1987 in San Luis Obispo, California. He is the son of Starla Baskett, a former secretary, and David Efron, an electrical engineer. He has a younger brother, Dylan. His surname, "Efron", is a Biblical place name, and comes from Zac's Polish Jewish paternal grandfather. The rest of Zac's recent ancestry is English, German, and Scottish. Zac was raised in Arroyo Grande, CA. He took his first step toward acting at the age of eleven, after his parents noticed his singing ability. Singing and acting lessons soon led to an appearance in a production of "Gypsy" that ran 90 performances, and he was hooked.
After appearing on-stage in "Peter Pan", "Auntie Mame", "Little Shop of Horrors" and "The Music Man", guest parts quickly followed on television series, including Firefly , ER , CSI: Miami , NCIS , and The Guardian . After guest-starring in several episodes of Summerland , Zac joined the regular cast as girl-crazy Cameron Bale. He also starred in several pilots, such as The Big Wide World of Carl Laemke and Triple Play , and played an autistic child in the television movie Miracle Run , alongside Mary-Louise Parker and Aidan Quinn . He graduated from Arroyo Grande High School in June 2006.
Efron came to fame for starring in the Disney Channel original film High School Musical , for which he won the Teen Choice Award for Breakout Star. He returned to the role of Troy Bolton in High School Musical 2 , which broke cable TV records with 17.5 million viewers.
He played title roles of the fantasy romance Charlie St. Cloud and the comedy 17 Again , both from director Burr Steers , and as the lovable Link Larkin in 2007's smash hit musical Hairspray , directed by Adam Shankman . As part of the all-star cast he shared a Critics Choice Award for Best Acting Ensemble, the 2007 Hollywood Film Festival Award for Ensemble of the Year, and was honored with a Screen Actors Guild Award® nomination for Outstanding Motion Picture Cast. In addition, he won an MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Performance.
Efron also starred in Richard Linklater 's Me and Orson Welles , an adaptation of the novel by Robert Kaplow , which premiered to rave reviews at the 2008 Toronto Film Festival. That same year, he starred in Kenny Ortega 's High School Musical 3: Senior Year , which set a box office record for the highest grossing opening weekend for a musical.
In 2012, Efron took the lead in The Lucky One , a film adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel, playing a marine who returns to North Carolina after serving in Iraq in search for the unknown woman he believes was his good luck charm during the war. He also lent his voice to the animated feature Dr. Seuss ' The Lorax , and co-starred in Lee Daniels ' thriller The Paperboy , alongside Nicole Kidman , John Cusack , Matthew McConaughey and Scott Glenn , as well as Josh Radnor 's Liberal Arts , which premiered to rave reviews at the Sundance Film Festival. Another indie film he co-starred in, At Any Price , was released in 2013.

He was born on September 30, 1961 in Whittier, California, to Evelyn Vawter, a violinist and schoolteacher, and Jack Stoltz, an elementary school teacher. He has German, English, and Scottish ancestry. Eric was raised in both American Samoa and Santa Barbara, California, where by the age of fourteen, he was earning money by playing piano for the local musical theater productions, including "Mame" starring Anthony Edwards , whom he co-starred with as two of Jeff Spicoli's stoner friends in Fast Times at Ridgemont High . The two became friends, and then college roommates when both attended the University of Southern California. Dropping out in his junior year, Eric joined a repertory company that did 10 plays at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland. Moving to New York in 1981, he studied with Stella Adler and Peggy Feury , and soon appeared in his first film, Fast Times at Ridgemont High . In the 1980s, he garnered attention (and a Golden Globe Nomination) starring as Rocky Dennis in Mask , and in John Hughes ' Some Kind of Wonderful . In 1988, he made his Broadway debut in Our Town , for which he was nominated for a Tony Award.
In the 1990s, he went back and forth from stage to film, building up an eclectic resume that included studio films ( Pulp Fiction , independent films (Sundance Festival Winner The Waterdance , and films that he himself produced ( Mr. Jealousy . He also continued to appear on the New York stage both on Broadway (Three Sisters, Two Shakespearean Actors) and off-Broadway (The Importance of Being Ernest, The Glass Menagerie). He continued to work in television as well, doing a recurring role as Helen Hunt 's ex on Mad About You , a year on Chicago Hope , and in the television and cable movies Inside (directed by Arthur Penn ), A Killer in the Family (with Robert Mitchum ) and The Passion of Ayn Rand (with Helen Mirren ). Eric Stoltz lives in New Mexico, and has been romantically linked to Ally Sheedy , Jennifer Jason Leigh , Lili Taylor , and Bridget Fonda ,. Since 2002 he has concentrated mainly on directing, having done a television movie, several short films, several independent films, and television shows such as Grey's Anatomy , Boston Legal , Nashville , and Glee . In 2014 he became the producing director of the hit CBS show, Madam Secretary .
Sally Struthers
Cute as a button and with a petite, porcelain prettiness and vulnerability that endeared her to the American public, Sally Struthers nabbed a series role in the early 1970s and became a solid part of TV history as a member of a dysfunctional family quartet in the milestone sitcom, All in the Family . She was born Sally Ann Struthers on July 28, 1948, in Portland, Oregon and raised there, pursuing an acting career following high school. Relocating to Los Angeles, she trained at the Pasadena Playhouse College of Theatre Arts and earned a scholarship as its "most promising student". She performed briefly in regional stock plays until finding her break as both a commercial actress and dancer on TV. She appeared as a regular on such variety shows as The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and The Tim Conway Comedy Hour and showed starlet promise in films, as well as offering ditsy support in the Jack Nicholson starrer, Five Easy Pieces , and the chase film, The Getaway , top-lining Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw . And, then came All in the Family . Also starring Carroll O'Connor , Jean Stapleton and Rob Reiner , Struthers went on to win two supporting Emmy Awards as Kewpie-doll "Gloria Bunker Stivic". She and Rob Reiner left the show after seven seasons, both eager to grow. While Rob Reiner became a noted director, Sally made her Broadway debut in "Wally's Cafe" in 1981, and returned, four years later, with a gender-bending version of "The Odd Couple" as neat-freak "Florence" opposite Rita Moreno 's slovenly "Olive". In addition, she found work in topical mini-series drama with Aloha Means Goodbye , Hey, I'm Alive , My Husband Is Missing , ...And Your Name Is Jonah , A Gun in the House , to name a few. But without a hit show as collateral, offers started drying up. Sally returned to the TV series fold in the early 1980s spinning off her "Gloria" character with the self-titled sitcom, Gloria , but the ensemble formula that worked so well for her before was missing here and the show died in its freshman year. To compensate, however, Sally's baby-doll voice worked extremely well for her in cartoons. She remained active off-camera, providing little girl voices for Saturday morning entertainment, notably her teenage "Pebbles Flintstone" character. Other voice-over work included TaleSpin , as "Rebecca 'Becky' Cunningham", and puppeteer Jim Henson 's creative prehistoric sitcom, Dinosaurs , playing dino-daughter "Charlene Sinclair". Struthers' significant weight gain in later years moved her quickly into broad character shtick. She showed that she had lost none of the fun for which she was known, by providing broad and hearty comedy relief on both daytime soaps and prime-time episodics, including General Hospital and Gilmore Girls . She also filled her time with frequent roles on the musical stage. Over the years, she has practically put a patent on the by-the-book principal "Miss Lynch", with her many "Grease" tours, and as the hissable orphanage operator "Miss Hannigan" in a number of road productions of "Annie". Most recently, she copped a 2002 Los Angeles "Ovation" award for her delightfully over-the-top "Agnes Gooch" in "Mame", starring Carol Lawrence . Divorced, Sally is the mother of one daughter who has made a career for herself as a clinical psychologist. For years, Sally was a prime spokesperson for the Christian Children's Fund on TV, fervently (and often tearfully) appealing for viewer's monetary assistance in finding an end to starvation in under-developed countries.
Bea Arthur
Actress-comedienne Bea Arthur was born on May 13, 1922 in New York City to a Jewish family. She grew up in Maryland, where her parents ran a dress shop. At 12 years old, she was the tallest girl in her school at 5'9". She earned the title "wittiest" girl in her school, and Bea's dream was to be in show business, but she didn't think her family would support it. She then worked as a laboratory technician, drove a truck and worked as a typist in the Marine Corps. She also had a brief first marriage, which ended in divorce. Afterwards, she told her parents she wanted to pursue a career in show business, and they supported her decision to join the New York's Dramatic Workshop for the New School for Social Research. She played classical and dramatic roles, but it would be years before she found her niche in comedy. Her breakthrough came on stage while appearing in the musical play "The Threepenny Opera," with Lotte Lenya . For one season in the 1950's, she was a regular on Sid Caesar 's television show, Caesar's Hour . In 1964, she became truly famous as Yente the Matchmaker, in the original Broadway production of "Fiddler on the Roof." While a small supporting role, Bea stole the show night after night.
In 1966, she went to work on a new Broadway musical, "Mame", directed by her second husband, Gene Saks , winning a Tony Award for the featured role of Vera Charles. The show's star, Angela Lansbury , also won a Tony Award, and she and Bea became lifelong friends. In 1971, Arthur appeared on the hit sitcom All in the Family as Maude Findlay, Edith Bunker's cousin, who was forever driving Archie Bunker crazy with her liberal politics. The guest appearance led to Bea's own series entitled Maude . The show was a hit, running for six years, during which many controversial topics of the time, including abortion, were tackled, and Bea won her first Emmy Award. While doing Maude , Bea repeated the role of Vera Charles in the film version of Mame , again directed by Gene Saks , but it was a dismal flop. She also appeared on The Star Wars Holiday Special . While playing "Maude," she raised her two adopted sons with then-husband Gene Saks. After the show ended, so did Bea's marriage to Saks. She never remarried, and became a lifelong animal rights' activist.
In 1983, she started working on a new sitcom, Amanda's , patterned after Britian's_"Fawlty Towers" (1975)_, but it was short-lived. In 1985, came what many consider the highlight of Bea Arthur's career, when the sitcom_"The Golden Girls" (1985)_ made its debut. Co-starring Betty White , Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty , the show was about the lives of three middle-aged women, and one's elderly mother, (played by Getty, who was actually younger than her three co-stars), living in Miami. It was an immediate hit, running for seven seasons. All of the cast members, including Bea, won Emmy Awards during the show's run. It's worth noting that_"Maude" (1972)_ and_"The Golden Girls" (1985)_ were canceled when Bea announced she was leaving. She left when she thought each show was at its peak. The producers realized the shows wouldn't be the same without her. In 1992, The Golden Girls was canceled. Bea kept a low profile, appearing in only two movies: For Better or Worse and Enemies of Laughter .
In 1999, she made a very successful and welcome appearance at The N.Y. Friars Club Roast of Jerry Stiller . She did a one-woman stage show in 2001, for which she received a Tony Award nomination. In 2003, she reunited with Betty White and Rue McClanahan for The Golden Girls reunion special on the Lifetime Channel. Noticeably absent was supporting actress Estelle Getty , who was ill. The three lead actresses made appearances together for the rest of the decade to promote DVD releases of The Golden Girls . They appeared together for the last time in 1998, at the TV Land Awards, where they received a standing ovation as they accepted the Pop Culture Award. Bea then attended, with Angela Lansbury , when she was inducted to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame.
On April 25, 2009, at home with her family, Bea Arthur died of cancer. She was 86. She's survived by her two sons, Matthew and Daniel, and her grandchildren, Kyra and Violet. In her will, she left $300,000 to New York's Ali Forney Center, an organization supporting homeless Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender youths.
Loretta Swit
Equally versatile at comedy and drama, Loretta Swit's parents, Polish immigrants who settled in Passaic, New Jersey, were not in favor of her making a stab at a show business career. Performing on stage from age 7, however, nothing and nobody could deter her. A natural singer who trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts before finding work in repertory companies, her features were deemed a bit too plain and hard for ingénue roles so she attempted musicals and light comedy, imbuing her characters with a snappy, comic edge. Beginning with the 1967 national touring company of "Any Wednesday", starring Gardner McKay , she forged ahead as a scene-stealing "Pigeon sister" opposite Don Rickles and Ernest Borgnine in an L.A. run of "The Odd Couple" and, from there, earned more laughs as the hopelessly awkward "Agnes Gooch" in the Las Vegas version of "Mame" starring Susan Hayward and (later) Celeste Holm .
Arriving in Hollywood in 1970, Loretta merited some attention by lightening up a number of dramas with her humorous, off-centered performances on such TV fare as Gunsmoke , Mission: Impossible , Hawaii Five-O and Mannix . Her star-making role, however, came within two years of moving to the West Coast when she inherited Sally Kellerman 's vitriolic "Hot Lips" Houlihan movie character for the TV series version of M*A*S*H . She stayed with the show the entire eleven seasons and was Emmy-nominated every season the show was on the air (except the first).
Although Loretta's post-"M*A*S*H" career may appear less noteworthy (it would be hard to imagine anything that could top her bookend Emmy wins on the M*A*S*H series), she has nonetheless remained quite active and provided colorful support in a handful of films including S.O.B. , Beer , Whoops Apocalypse , Forest Warrior and Beach Movie . She also kept up her TV visibility with episodic appearances and occasional mini-movies, including originating the role of "Chris Cagney" in the TV pilot of Pilot . Returning to singing on occasion, she also inherited the Linda Lavin role in the TV version of the stage musical It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman! .
On stage, she made her Broadway debut opposite That Girl 's Ted Bessell in "Same Time, Next Year" in 1975 and later replaced Cleo Laine on Broadway in "The Mystery of Edwin Drood". Honored with the Sarah Siddons award for her title role in "Shirley Valentine" (over 1,000 performances) in Chicago, she has more recently toured in productions of "The Vagina Monologues" and played the musical title role of "Mame" in 2003. Loretta also was a five-season host of the 1992 cable-TV wildlife series "Those Incredible Animals" (1992).
Off-stage, Loretta was once married to actor Dennis Holahan , whom she met on the set of M*A*S*H , in 1983. They had no children and divorced in 1995. Her natural spark and trademark blonde, curly mane are more prevalent these days at animal activist fundraisers. A strict vegetarian, she has served as a spokesperson for the Humane Society of the United States and has been multi-honored for her long-time dedication and passion to animals. She is also the author of a book on needlepoint (A Needlepoint Scrapbook), runs her own line of jewelry and exhibits watercolor paintings. As a result, little has been seen of Loretta on film and TV, into the millennium.
Jo Anne Worley
This tall (with piled-on jet-black hair), attractive, tunnel-mouthed comedienne is a one-of-a-kind commodity and certainly no shrinking violet when it comes to entertaining. Unapologetically, she adores the center stage...and vice versa -- the stage loves her. Like several of her Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In cohorts, Jo Anne Worley zoomed to overnight cult stardom in the late 1960s but, in her case, was able to extend her wild and woolly popularity to several other levels once her "fifteen minutes" of fame was over. Over the years, she has situated herself nicely into night clubs, musical theater productions, game shows, talk shows, commercials, and even cartoons. Four decades plus later, Jo Anne continues to delight and is instantly recognized with a mere raucous laugh and/or trademark pointy digit embedded in her cheek.
The brassy, indefatigable Jo Anne was born in Lowell, Indiana, on September 6, 1937, the third of five children and has always separated herself from the crowd with her distinctively loud voice, whether singing or not. The writing was on the wall when she was crowned "school comedienne" in high school. Following graduation (1955), she traveled east to pursue her dreams and initially apprenticed with the Pickwick Players. After a two-year dramatic scholarship to Midwestern State University, she transferred to Los Angeles City College and also trained at the Pasadena Playhouse. It did not take long before she made her professional debut in a production of "Wonderful Town." In 1961, she garnered some attention in the popular L.A. musical revue "Billy Barnes People," a show that took her all the way, if very briefly, to Broadway.
Performing in assorted musicals and revues over the next few years including "Carnival" (1962), "Second City Review" (1964), and "Hotel Passionato" (1965), Jo Anne's career was given a boost when she co-starred with fellow up-and-comers Linda Lavin and 'Paul Sand (I)'_ in the Mad Magazine-inspired off-Broadway revue "The Mad Show" in 1966. That same year, she received the break she was looking for when she was discovered by talk-show host Merv Griffin while showcasing her nightclub act in Greenwich Village. Griffin took a strong liking to her and gave her a viable comedy platform to play on with approximately 200 appearances in all. Producer George Schlatter caught Jo Anne's zany antics on Griffin's show and invited her to swinging TV stardom in 1968. The rest is history.
It's not always easy to stand out in a large ensemble but Jo Anne did, complete with unabashed manic energy and faux operatic tones on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In as part of the "let it all hang out" generation. In this psychedelic, irreverently political pastiche of comedy slapstick and music, Jo Anne found a perfect forum for her talents. Her bold, infectious comic flair proved a real crowd pleaser, and the big boned brunette became a certifiable TV star. While the show also made stars out of Ruth Buzzi , Henry Gibson and Arte Johnson and superstars out of Goldie Hawn and Lily Tomlin , it also managed to rebuff the somewhat fading stars of co-hosts Dan Rowan and Dick Martin , and singer/actress Judy Carne .
In 1970, Jo Anne left the celebrated madness at the peak of the show's popularity to pursue a variety of other creative outlets. She made onscreen guest appearances on several TV shows, notably Love, American Style , and was a steadfast presence on the talk show, variety show and game show circuits. Strangly enough, however, she never found a sitcom or another TV vehicle to adequately test-drive her comedy revvings.
With such a high-wattage personality that invites comparisons to Carol Burnett , Carol Channing and Ethel Merman , Jo Anne may have out-sized herself for films but her larger-than-life presence perfectly fit the musical theater bill. For decades she found a vast number of showcases to logically suit her. Her many musical tours have included, notably, "Gypsy" as Mama Rose, "The Wizard of Oz" as the Wicked Witch, and "Mame" as the title socialite. In addition, Jo Anne has found marvelous vehicles in "The Pirates of Penzance," "Annie Get Your Gun," "Anything Goes," "Nunsense," "Grease!," "Call Me Madam," and "Annie". Her non-singing theater resume includes "Luv," "Same Time, Next Year," "Lovers and Other Strangers," "Moon Over Buffalo," "Steel Magnolias," and the female version of "The Odd Couple." Many of these shows co-starred then-husband Roger Perry , whom she married in 1975. The couple had no children and divorced in 2000.
In 1989, Jo Anne returned to Broadway to appear in the original performance of "The Prince of Central Park." Her work over the years has been plentiful, especially for the Disney people, including the movie The Shaggy D.A. and animated features Beauty and the Beast (as the voice of the Wardrobe) and A Goofy Movie .
In other pursuits, Jo Anne has been active on the lecture circuit and has also served on the Board of Directors for Actors and Others for Animals. She also performs in concert, typically offering parodies of well-known songs to suit her man-chasing personality. A culinary enthusiast, she has also been seen whipping up specialties on the Food Network ("Ready Set Cook" and "Chef du jour").
Ann Miller
Ann Miller was born Johnnie Lucille Ann Collier on April 12, 1923 in Chireno, Texas. She lived there until she was nine, when her mother left her philandering father and moved with Ann to Los Angeles, California. Even at that young age, she had to support her mother, who was hearing-impaired and unable to hold a job. After taking tap-dancing lessons, she got jobs dancing in various Hollywood nightclubs while being home-schooled. Then, in 1937, RKO asked her to sign on as a contract player, but only if she could prove she was 18. Though she was really barely 14, she managed to get hold of a fake birth certificate, and so was signed on, playing dancers and ingénues in such films as Stage Door , You Can't Take It with You , Room Service and Too Many Girls . In 1939, she appeared on Broadway in "George White's Scandals" and was a smash, staying on for two years. Eventually, RKO released her from her contract, but Columbia Pictures snapped her up to appear in such World War II morale boosters as True to the Army and Reveille with Beverly . When she decided to get married, Columbia released her from her contract. The marriage was sadly unhappy and she was divorced in two years. This time, MGM picked her up, showcasing her in such films as Easter Parade , On the Town and Kiss Me Kate . In the mid-1950s, she asked to leave to marry again, and her request was granted. This marriage didn't last long, either, nor did a third. Ann then threw herself into work, appearing on television, in nightclubs and on the stage. She was a smash as the last actress to headline the Broadway production of "Mame" in 1969 and 1970, and an even bigger smash in "Sugar Babies" in 1979, which she played for nine years, on Broadway and on tour. She has cut back in recent years, but did appear in the Paper Mill Playhouse (Millburn, New Jersey) production of Stephen Sondheim 's "Follies" in 1998, in which she sang the song "I'm Still Here", a perfect way to sum up the life and career of Ann Miller. On January 22, 2004, Ann Miller died at age 80 of lung cancer and was buried at the Holy Cross Cemetary in Culver City, California.
Juliet Prowse
Born in India to South African parents, Juliet studied to be a dancer from the age of 4. Attending the Royal Academy of Dance, by the time Juliet was 14, she was deemed too tall at just under six feet to enter the world of ballet. She signed as a chorus dancer with the London Palladium and then pursued a career as a dancer in European nightclubs. While dancing in Paris, she was spotted by Hollywood choreographer Hermes Pan and signed to a role in the movie Can-Can . While rehearsing for the movie, Soviet Premier Khrushchev was invited to watch the then-unknown Prowse and others rehearsing their steps. The next day, he denounced the dance as immoral and it was Prowse's photo that accompanied the news across newspapers worldwide. An instant celebrity, Juliet shot to stardom with her acting and dancing and the tabloids filled with her romance with star Frank Sinatra . That same year, she also appeared with Elvis Presley in G.I. Blues and again the tabloids followed her.
She appeared in more films the next year but, as her celebrity status waned, so did her movie career. Her engagement to Sinatra in 1962 fueled her nightclub act, but did nothing for her movie career. In 1965, Juliet moved to television with the series Mona McCluskey , playing a nutty Hollywood starlet, but the show soon ended. Her big-screen career ended with Run for Your Wife (aka Run for Your Wife) and she, thereafter, appeared on the stage and on the nightclub circuit. Some of her stage shows included "Sweet Charity", "Kismet", "Irma La Douce", "Mame" and "The Pajama Game". She also appeared as a guest on Television but, most of the time, she worked in her nightclub act. In 1994, she was diagnosed with cancer.
Rosalind Russell
The middle of seven children, she was named after the S.S. Rosalind at the suggestion of her father, a successful lawyer. After receiving a Catholic school education, she went to the American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York, having convinced her mother that she intended to teach acting. In 1934, with some stock company work and a little Broadway experience, she was tested and signed by Universal. Simultaneously MGM tested her and made her a better offer. When she plead ignorance of Hollywood (while wearing her worst-fitting clothes), Universal released her and she signed with MGM for seven years.
For some time she was used in secondary roles and as a replacement threat to limit Myrna Loy 's salary demands. Knowing she was right for comedy, she tested five times for the role of Sylvia Fowler in The Women . George Cukor told her to "play her as a freak." She did and got the part. Her "boss lady" roles began with the part of reporter Hildy Johnson in His Girl Friday , through whose male lead, Cary Grant , she met her future husband, Grant's houseguest at the time.
In her forties, she returned to the stage, touring "Bell, Book and Candle" in 1951 and winning a Tony for "Wonderful Town" in 1953. Columbia, worried the public would think she had the female lead in Picnic , billed her "co-starring Rosalind Russell as Rosemary." She refused to accept an Oscar nomination as supporting actress for the part, an Oscar she would no doubt have won had she relented. "Auntie Mame" kept her on Broadway for two years followed by the movie version.
Aisha Hinds
When Aisha Hinds' junior high school tap dance instructor observed that she needed an outlet for expression that surpassed her tap shoes, she was guided to the High School of Performing Arts in New York - where her formal acting training began.
Hinds' numerous television credits include a supporting role on "Detroit 1-8-7", recurring roles on "HawthoRNe" and "The Shield" and guest appearances on "Boston Legal," "Medium," "CSI: NY," "Judging Amy," "Crossing Jordan," "ER" and "NYPD Blue." She also starred opposite Marcia Gay Harden in the pilot "H.A.TE." Her feature film roles include "Assault on Precinct 13," "Neo Ned" and "Love... More Aquarium."
On stage, her theatre credits include August Wilson's "Fences" and "'Night, Mother" at the American Theatre of Harlem; "Tartuffe," "Anything Goes" and "Mame" at the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre; and George C. Wolfe's "The Colored Museum" and "A Piece of My Heart" at the Alvin Sherman Stage.
Phyllis Diller
The indefatigable nonagenarian finally put out an autobiography in 2005 and entitled it "Like a Lampshade in a Whorehouse", which pretty much says it all when recalling the misfit life and career of the fabulous, one-of-a-kind Phyllis Diller. It may inspire all those bored, discouraged and/or directionless housewives out there to know that the one-time 37-year-old chief bottle washer and diaper disposer of six started out writing comedy routines for her fellow female laundry mates as a sort of reprieve from what she considered her everyday household doldrums. Little did she know she would wind up an entertainment legend who would share the biggest comedy stages with the likes of Bob Hope , George Burns and Jack Benny .
They said it couldn't be done back then (to be a successful lady comic, that is) but the doyenne of female stand-up did just that -- opened the doors for other odd-duck funny girls who dared to intrude on what was considered a man's profession. Initially, the comedienne whipped up an alter-ego that could have only been created with the aid of hallucinogens. Boldly facing the world as a scrawny, witchy-faced, flyaway haired, outlandishly costumed, cigarette-holding, magpie-cackling version of "Auntie Mame", Phyllis Diller made a virtue out of her weird looks and cashed in on her wifely horror tales and her own idiosyncratic tendencies. Diller's solid fan base has been thriving now for over five decades.
She was born Phyllis Ada Driver on July 17, 1917 in Lima, Ohio to Perry Marcus and Frances Ada (Romshe) Driver. A student at Lima's Central High School, she went on to study for three years at the Sherwood Music Conservatory in Chicago, Illinois, before transferring to Bluffton (Ohio) College where she served as the editor of the school's more humorous newspaper articles. She was a serious student of the piano but was never completely confident enough in her performance level to try and act on it as a possible career.
Before she knew it, Phyllis was married (to Sherwood Anderson Diller at age 22 in November 1939), and had become the mother to a brood of six (one child died in infancy). On the sly, she was an advertising copywriter. During World War II, the family moved to Michigan where her husband found work at the Willow Run Bomber Plant. A natural laughgetter, Phyllis began writing household-related one-liners and the feedback from the fellow wives greatly encouraged her. When the family moved to California for job-related reasons, Phyllis became a secretary at a San Francisco television station. By this time, she had built up the courage to put together a nightclub act. The local television hosts at the station (Willard Anderson and Don Sherwood) thought her act was hilarious and invited her on their show in 1955. Not long after, at age 38, Phyllis made her debut at San Francisco's Purple Onion nightclub. What was to be a two-week engagement was stretched out to more than a year and a half. The widespread publicity she received took her straight to the television talk and variety circuits where she was soon trading banter with Jack Paar , Jack Benny and Red Skelton , among others, on their popular television series. She was even a contestant on Groucho Marx 's popular quiz show You Bet Your Life .
Throughout the 1960s, audiences embraced her bold and brazen quirkiness. Chumming up with the best of Hollywood's comedy talent, Diller formed a tight and lasting relationship with Bob Hope , appearing in scores of his television specials and co-starring in three of his broad 1960s comedy films ( Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! , Eight on the Lam and The Private Navy of Sgt. O'Farrell . Diller also joined Hope in Vietnam in 1966 with his USO troupe. She meshed perfectly with the far-out popular cult figures of her era (remember Tiny Tim ?) and found the best writers to help her with her material -- Joan Rivers , herself, before she became big, wrote for the wisecracking comedienne.
Phyllis' star celebrity eventually took its toll on her marriage. She separated from and eventually divorced Sherwood (1965), who had, by this time, become a favorite topic and target of her act in the form of husband "Fang". That same year, she married singer, film actor and television host Warde Donovan who appeared with her in the slapstick movie Did You Hear the One About the Traveling Saleslady? . They divorced in 1975.
By this time, Diller was everywhere on the small screen. A special guest on hordes of television series and comedy specials and, especially on such riotfests as Laugh-In and the Dean Martin celebrity series of roasts, she became a celebrity on the game show circuit as well, milking laughs on such established shows as The Hollywood Squares and The Gong Show . She also had best-selling comedy records to her credit and humorous anecdotes to pitch that made it to the bookstore shelves, such as "Phyllis Diller Tells All About Fang". However, stand-up remained her first love. Perhaps way too broad or too much of a schtick artist to sustain her own television series, she did attempt to find a suitable vehicle but came up short. The Phyllis Diller Show had Phyllis pretty much pulling out all the stops (fright wig, garish outfits and all) as a wacky widow invariably scheming to keep up a wealthy front despite being heavily in debt. She had the reliably droll Reginald Gardiner and cranky Charles Lane as foils and even Gypsy Rose Lee was in there pitching, but the show didn't jell. Revamped as "The Phyllis Diller Show", several of comedy's best second bananas ( John Astin , Paul Lynde , Richard Deacon , Billy De Wolfe , Marty Ingels ) were added to the mix, but the show was canceled after a single season. A second try with The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show , a comedy/variety show that had the zany star backed by none other than Rip Taylor and Norm Crosby , lasted only three months.
Seldom has Diller managed (or even been offered) to take her funny face off long enough to appear for dramatic effect. Somewhat more straightforward roles came later on episodes of Boston Legal and 7th Heaven . Back in 1961, interestingly enough, she made both her stage and film debuts in the dramas of William Inge . Her theatrical debut came with a production of "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs" and she appeared first on film in the highly dramatic Splendor in the Grass , lightening things up a bit with a cameo appearance as larger-than-life nightclub hostess Texas Guinan . Phyllis later impressed with her harridan role in the film The Adding Machine opposite Milo O'Shea . She also enjoyed a three-month run on Broadway in "Hello, Dolly!" with Richard Deacon co-starring, and has appeared in other delightful shows and musicals over time -- "Wonderful Town" (she met her second husband Warde Donovan in this production), "Happy Birthday", "Everybody Loves Opal" and "Nunsense". In 1993, Phyllis was inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame. Her cackling vocals have enhanced animated features, too, what with Mad Monster Party? and A Bug's Life . It took a heart attack in 1999 to finally slow down the comedienne and she eventually announced her retirement in 2002.
Eldest son, Peter Diller died of cancer in 1998, her third child died at two weeks old in 1945, and a daughter, Stephanie Diller , died of a stroke in 2002. Her other children are Sally Diller, Suzanne Sue Diller and Perry Diller . As late as January 2007, Phyllis made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno . She was set to return on her 90th birthday in July but a back injury forced her to cancel. Hopefully, we have not seen the last of this beloved comedy icon tickles the funny bone whenever and wherever she shows up. Phyllis Diller died at age 95 of heart failure on August 20, 2012 in her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California.
Forrest Tucker
Forrest Tucker, best known to the Baby Boom generation as Sergeant O'Rourke on the classic TV sitcom F Troop , was born on February 12, 1919, in Plainfield, Indiana. He began his performing career at age 14 at the 1933 Chicago "Century of Progress" World's Fair, pushing big wicker tourists' chairs by day and singing at night. His family moved to Arlington, Virginia, where he attended Washington-Lee High School in 1938.
Big for his age, as a youth Tucker was hired by the Old Gayety Burlesque Theater in Washington, DC, to serve as a Master of Ceremonies for the burly-cue after consecutively winning Saturday night amateur contests. He was fired when it was found out that he was underage. When he turned 18, he was rehired by the Old Gayety.
After graduating from high school in 1938, the 6'4", 200-lb. Tucker played semi-pro football in the Washington, DC, area. He also enlisted in the National Guard and was assigned to a cavalry unit in Ft. Myers, Virginia. He started at the top when he entered the movies, in a supporting role in William Wyler 's The Westerner opposite Gary Cooper and Walter Brennan , who won his third Oscar for portraying Judge Roy Bean in the picture. He got the role during his 1939 vacation from the Old Gayety, which shut down due to the District of Columbia's horrible summers in the days before air conditioning was common.He was signed to the part in the Wyler picture, which required a big fellow with enough presence for a fight scene with the 6'3" superstar Cooper.
Tucker moved to California and began auditioning for parts in films. After "The Westerner", it was off to Poverty Row, where he appeared in William Beaudine 's Emergency Landing at rock-bottom PRC (Producers Releasing Corp.). He was soon signed by Columbia and assigned to the B-pictures unit, though he was lent to MGM for the Spencer Tracy - Katharine Hepburn vehicle Keeper of the Flame , his last film before going off to World War II.
Tucker served as an enlisted man in the Army during the war, being discharged as a second lieutenant in 1945. He returned to Columbia and resumed his acting career with an appearance in the classic film The Yearling . He signed with Republic Pictures in 1948, which brought him one of his greatest roles, that of the Marine corporal bearing a grudge against gung-ho sergeant John Wayne in Sands of Iwo Jima . At Republic Tucker was top-billed in many of the "B' pictures in the action and western genres the studio was famous for, such as Rock Island Trail , California Passage and Ride the Man Down , among many others. In 1958 he broke out of action / western pictures and played Beauregard Burnside to Rosalind Russell 's Auntie Mame , the highest grossing US film of the year. It showed that Tucker was capable of performing in light comedy.
Morton DaCosta , his director on "Auntie Mame", cast Tucker as "Professor" Harold Hill in the national touring production of The Music Man , and he was a more than credible substitute for the great Broadway star Robert Preston , who originated the role. Tucker made 2,008 appearances in The Music Man over the next five years, then starred in "Fair Game for Lovers" on Broadway in 1964.
However, it was television that provided Tucker with his most famous role: scheming cavalry sergeant Morgan O'Rourke in "F Troop", which ran from 1965 to 1967 on ABC. Ably supported by Larry Storch , Ken Berry and James Hampton , Tucker showed a flair for comedy and he and Storch had great chemistry, but the series was canceled after only two seasons. It has, however, remained in syndication ever since.
Following "F Troop", Tucker returned to films in supporting parts (having a good turn as the villain in the John Wayne western Chisum ) and character leads ( The Wild McCullochs ). On television he was a regular on three series: Dusty's Trail with Bob Denver ; The Ghost Busters , which reunited him with Larry Storch; and Filthy Rich . Tucker was also a frequent guest star on TV, with many appearances on Gunsmoke and in the recurring role of Jarvis Castleberry, Flo's estranged father, on Alice and its spin-off, Flo . He continued to be active on stage as well, starring in the national productions of Plaza Suite , Show Boat , and That Championship Season . He also toured with Roy Radin 's Vaudeville Revue, a variety show in which, as a headliner, he told Irish stories and jokes and sang Irish songs.
Tucker returned to the big screen after an absence of several years in 1986, playing hero trucker Charlie Morrison in the action film Thunder Run . His comeback to features was short-lived, however, as he died on October 25, 1986, in the Los Angeles suburb of Woodland Hills, of complications from lung cancer and emphysema. He was 67 years old. Tucker was buried in Forest Lawn-Hollywood Hills Cemetery in Los Angeles.
Constance Towers
This elegant singer/actress initially had designs on becoming an opera singer. Born in Montana on May 20, 1933, and christened Constance Mary Towers, she appeared on radio as a child singer. Her family moved to New York where she subsequently studied at the Julliard School of Music and the American Academy of the Dramatic Arts (AADA). A chance casting in a summer production of "Carousel" led her away from her operatic aspirations and into the musical theater arena. Before she settled into this, however, she gained early exposure on the chic nightclub circuit and fostered an attempt at stardom via films. She co-starred with Frankie Laine playing a school teacher in the modest movie musical Bring Your Smile Along , and appeared in exceptionally strong ingénue roles in the movie dramas The Horse Soldiers starring John Wayne and Sergeant Rutledge opposite Jeffrey Hunter . Director Samuel Fuller cast her against type in some of his highly offbeat dramas in the early 1960s. She played a stripper girlfriend in Shock Corridor and in The Naked Kiss gave a no-holds-barred performance as a former prostitute trying to clean up her act. Films, however, were few and far between.
By this time she was starting to settle in as a pristine musical leading lady. After a 1960 performance as missionary Sarah in "Guys and Dolls," Constance made her Broadway debut in the title role of "Anya" (1965), in which she played the title role of the Russian princess Anastasia. Heralded performances in "Carousel" (1966) and "The Sound of Music" (1967), in which she won the Outer Critic's Circle Award as Maria, not to mention a Broadway revival of "The King and I" opposite Yul Brynner truly put her on the musical map. Her run with Brynner lasted nearly 800 performances. She had earlier played the school teacher Anna off-Broadway opposite Michael Kermoyan in 1972. Other sterling stage appearances included "Kiss Me Kate," "42nd Street," "Oklahoma!," "Camelot" and "Mame." She also starred in the musical "Ari," an adaptation of the Leon Uris novel "Exodus."
TV proved a sturdy medium as well. In her early days, she made singing appearances on Ed Sullivan 's The Ed Sullivan Show and, in dramatic roles, was a frequent glamorous suspect on Perry Mason . As she matured, her sharp, glacial, strikingly handsome features also worked very well for her in unsympathetic aristocratic roles on daytime. Winning regular spots on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing , The Young and the Restless and Sunset Beach , she did her most consistent work on Capitol , in which she played Clarissa McCandless for five seasons. She is currently courting favor with audiences and stealing scenes on a regular basis on General Hospital , in which she plays, at age 72, the inherently wicked Helena Cassadine, a role originated by the legendary Elizabeth Taylor . Recent films have included The Next Karate Kid , The Relic and A Perfect Murder starring Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow , in which she played Paltrow's mother. Constance also enjoyed a resurgence on prime-time TV with a sprinkling of guest parts on L.A. Law , Designing Women , The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air , Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , "Caroline in the City," Frasier , Baywatch , and Providence . She received an Emmy nomination for her role in the single episode drama special on CBS Daytime 90 entitled "Once in Her Life."
Constance has been married since 1974 to one-time actor and former Mexican ambassador John Gavin . It was the second marriage for both. The handsome couple have two children: Cristina and Maria Gavin. Constance also has two children, Michael and Maureen McGrath, from her prior marriage to Panamanian businessman Eugene McGrath. As a result of her current husband's civic work, she became actively involved in a multitude of charities. "Project Connie" not only offered aid to those in need of medical and rehabilitation assistance after the Mexican earthquake of 1985, it has served as an adoption placement agency to hundreds of children from Mexico to El Salvador. She has also involved herself with the Children's Bureau of California, the National Health Foundation, and the Red Cross and the Blue Ribbon of Los Angeles.

Paris Themmen
The former child actor Paris Themmen was born on June 25th, 1959 in Boston, Massachusetts, the self-proclaimed "Hub" of the Universe, to classical musicians. Young Paris first appeared on stage in 1965, while his parents were performing in summer stock in Michigan. After the family returned to New York, NY after the summer season closed, Themmen's mother sought an agent for the tyro actor. His on-screen career began with a TV commercial for bubble bath, the first of over two score TV and radio commercials and voice overs.
On stage in New York City in the late '60s, Themmen appeared in the classic Euripides play "Iphegenia in Aulis" at the Circle in the Square Theatre in the 1967-68 season with Irene Papas , and was a replacement in the long-running Broadway musical "Mame" in 1968, appearing in support of Ann Miller in the title role. In 1970, he appeared in the first version of Roald Dahl 's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", as "Mike Tee Vee" in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory . He subsequently appeared on Broadway in the musical "The Rothschilds", as a replacement in the role of Young Jacob Rothschild, and continued on in the role for the national your.
After entering adolescence, Themmen abandoned his child acting career when he was 14. He went to New York University, where he received his Bacherlor of Fine Arts degree. In business he has worked at a variety of jobs including Real Estate Broker, Walt Disney Imagineer and Financial Advisor and in Los Angeles running commerical casting sessions.

Janet Blair
When it came to bright and polished, they didn't get much spiffier than singer/actress Janet Blair -- perhaps to her detriment in the long haul. At Columbia, she was usually overlooked for the roles that might have tested her dramatic mettle. Nevertheless, she pleased audiences as a pert and perky co-star to a number of bigger stars, ranging from George Raft and Cary Grant to Red Skelton and The Dorsey Brothers .
Of Irish descent, she was born Martha Janet Lafferty in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1921. Raised there in the public school system, she sang in the church choir during her youth and adolescence. The inspiration and talent were evident enough for her to pursue singing as a career by the time she graduated. At age 18, she was a lead vocalist with Hal Kemp 's band at the Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles. While with Kemp's outfit, Janet met and, subsequently, married the band's pianist, Lou Busch , a respected musician, songwriter, and, later, ragtime recording artist.
A Columbia Pictures talent scout caught her behind the microphone and spotted fine potential in the pretty-as-a-picture songstress. The death of Kemp in a car accident in December of 1940 and the band's eventual break-up signaled a life-changing course of events. She signed up with Columbia, for up to $100 a week, and moved to Los Angeles while her husband found work as a studio musician. Janet made an immediate impression in her debut film as the feisty kid sister of Joan Blondell and Binnie Barnes in Three Girls About Town and also dallied about in the movies, Two Yanks in Trinidad and Blondie Goes to College , until her big break in the movies arrived. Star Rosalind Russell made a pitch for Janet to play her co-lead in My Sister Eileen as her naive, starry-eyed younger sister (Eileen), who carried aspirations of being a big-time actress. The film became an instant hit and Janet abruptly moved up into the "love interest" ranks. Usually appearing in a frothy musical or light comedy, she was seeded second, however, to another redhead, Rita Hayworth , when it came to Columbia's dispensing out musical leads. Janet, nevertheless, continued promisingly paired up with George Raft in the mob-oriented tunefest, Broadway ; alongside Don Ameche in the musical, Something to Shout About ; and opposite Cary Grant in the comedy-fantasy, Once Upon a Time , one of his lesser known films. She played second lead to Ms. Hayworth in Tonight and Every Night and was right in her element when asked to co-star with bandleaders Jimmy Dorsey and Tommy Dorsey in their biopic, The Fabulous Dorseys . A rare dramatic role came her way in the Glenn Ford starrer, Gallant Journey , but again she was relegated to playing the stereotyped altruistic wife. In retrospect, the importance of her roles, although performed quite capably, were more supportive and decorative in nature and lacked real bite. By the time the daring-do "B" swashbuckler The Black Arrow rolled out, Columbia had lost interest in its fair maiden and Janet had lost interest in Hollywood.
A new decade brought about a new career direction. Putting together a successful nightclub act, she was spotted by composer Richard Rodgers and made a sparkling name for herself within a short time. Rodgers & Hammerstein's "South Pacific", starring Mary Martin , was the hit of the Broadway season and Janet dutifully took on the lead role of "Ensign Nellie Forbush" when the show went on tour in 1950. She gave a yeoman performance -- over 1,200 in all -- within a three-year period. Following this success, she made her Broadway debut in the musical, "A Girl Can Tell," in 1953. She went on for decades, appearing in such tuneful vehicles as "Anything Goes," "Bells Are Ringing," "Annie Get Your Gun," "Mame," and "Follies."
Her career, however, took second place after marrying second husband, producer/director Nick Mayo in 1953, and raising their two children, Amanda and Andrew. The couple met when he stage-managed "South Pacific" and went on to co-own and operate Valley Music Theatre in Woodland Hills, California, during the mid-1960s. There, she played "Maria" in "The Sound of Music" and "Peter Pan" opposite Vincent Price 's "Dr. Hook," among others. Her second marriage lasted until the late '60s. TV's "Golden Age" proved to be a viable medium for her. A promising series role came to her in 1956 when she replaced Emmy-winning Nanette Fabray as Sid Caesar 's femme co-star on Caesar's Hour but she left the sketch-based comedy show after only one season because she felt stifled and underused. She also returned to films on occasion, appearing opposite her The Fuller Brush Man co-star, Red Skelton , in another of his slapstick vehicles, Public Pigeon No. One ; as Tony Randall 's wife in the domestic comedy, Boys' Night Out , starring Kim Novak ; and in the excellent cult British horror, Burn, Witch, Burn (aka Burn, Witch, Burn) and she was fresh as a daisy, once again, in the antiseptic Disney musical, The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band . After her second divorce, Janet laid off touring in musicals and settled in Hollywood to raise her two teenage children while looking for TV work. She found a steady paycheck paired up with Henry Fonda on the sitcom, The Smith Family , playing another of her patented loyal wives. She also found scattered work on such TV shows as Marcus Welby, M.D. , Switch , Fantasy Island , and The Love Boat . Her last guest showing was on the Murder, She Wrote episode, Who Killed J.B. Fletcher? . Janet died at age 85 in Santa Monica, California, after developing pneumonia.
Carol Lawrence
Singer-actress Carol Lawrence earned widespread stardom quite early in her singing career with the immortal role of Maria in the Broadway musical "West Side Story." However, that success would not parlay into film stardom for Carol as established star Natalie Wood, in spite of the fact that she would need to be vocally dubbed by Marni Nixon, had the requisite clout to play Maria in the classic 1961 film version. Carol, however, endured as a celebrity and marched on from Broadway stage to Broadway stage to the tune of "Subways Are for Sleeping," "Saratoga," "I Do! I Do!" and "Kiss of the Spiderwoman." The dark, vivid beauty also stayed alive in clubs, cabarets, concerts and summer stock stages opposite then-husband, singer Robert Goulet, as a highly popular couple in the 60s. Born Carolina Maria Laraia in 1932, the Chicago-born hopeful started out as a singer/dancer in the chorus lines and made her Broadway debut with the "New Faces of 1952." Though Carol never matched the success brought on by her "West Side Story" role, she managed quite well with numerous TV guest spots and commercials that has welcomed her warm, inviting presence and graceful style. At age 70+, she continues to freshen up her durable talents, most recently on stage in "Amy's View" and the title role of "Mame." Carol has kept busy over the years as a talk show host and author, publishing her biography in 1990 and recently putting out a cook book.
Keram Malicki-Sánchez
Keram Malicki-Sanchez is an actor, filmmaker, musician/composer and also noted new media consultant who has been invited to speak at conferences across North America about the future of tech, social media and the intersection of technology and the arts. He is the creative director of the FIVARS Festival of International Virtualand Augmented Stories and founding organizer of VRTO - Toronto's virtual reality meetup group.
Keram's professional acting debut was in the role of Oliver! in Toronto for which he received widespread acclaim and went on to do roles in Mame and Evita for the same theater. By the age of ten Keram was busy recording radio dramas for the CBC and launched his music career, singing on various records and even recording a full length album at fourteen in South America which was signed to a major label there and had two songs charting on the radio. At fourteen Keram was nominated for a Dora Mavor Moore Award (Canada's Tony) for his performance in an adaptation of Mark Twain's 'The Prince and the Pauper'.
At fifteen, he met Keith White on a sitcom pilot, 'Cutting Loose' and the two formed the band Blue Dog Pict for which Keram was the frontman for seven years. The band released three albums and toured across North America, charting in the top ten on several dozen College radio stations. At seventeen Keram scored a lead role on the Franklin Waterman produced series Catwalk with co-stars Paul Popowich and Neve Campbell .
Keram played the title role of Chris Black in Skin Deep which won the People's Choice award at the Berlin film festival and was also an official selection at the Toronto Film Festival a year later.
In 1992 he founded Constant Change Productions, an independent record label and film production company which produced several videos for the band, one of which received the largest request in MuchMusic history. In 2008 he released his solo acoustic record "Box" followed by "Come to Life" in 2014 which featuring over 30 musicians whose collective resumes include Beck, Coheed and Cambria and Alex Lifeson of RUSH. As a musician, he now performs under the artist name: "Keram."
Known not only as an actor, but as what Lenny Stoute of the Toronto Star calls 'a one man cultural blitzkrieg' Keram's interest in acting, performing music, film scoring, record producing, writing, multimedia design and production and film making continues to provoke his audience, fans 'devout to the point of being cultish' and raise questions.
Janet Carroll
Janet began her stage career, right out of high school, at the legendary Kansas City Starlight Theatre, appearing in many many musicals including: "Hello Dolly", "Guys and Dolls"," Mame", "Gypsy", "South Pacific", "Pajama Game", "Carousel" and many others. Janet continued her stage work in California for many years, starring opposite Cloris Leachman in "A Couple of White Chicks", starred with Lynn Redgrave and John Lithgow in "Lady Windemere's Fan", among other productions. Janet made her Broadway debut in "Little Women", alongside Sutton Foster and Maureen McGovern .
Don Porter
Veteran actor Don Porter started his career on stage and in "B" films in the 40s but would be better remembered for his buttoned-down executives and cheery dads on 50s and 60s TV. Universal Studios signed the handsome, articulate, deep-voiced actor to a contract in 1939 debuting in Mystery in the White Room (1939). He continued on in a rather non-descript fashion as co-star of second-string potboilers such as Night Monster (1942), Abbott and Costello's Who Done It? (1942), Eyes of the Underworld (1943), and, most noticeably, opposite June Lockhart's She-Wolf of London (1947) as her heroic fiance. Seemingly headed toward obscurity, he refocused his career in the 50s with television and took a strategic turn toward light, superficial comedy. He finally hit pay dirt co-starring as Ann Sothern's exasperated boss on "Private Secretary." Their chemistry proved so winning that he segued into her next series "The Ann Sothern Show" (albeit the second season) again as her boss. Although quite adept at drama with his portrayals of spiffy 'stuffed shirt' types whose shady intentions were often disguised by impeccable table manners and a pleasant disposition, Don's forte was still breezy, cheeky comedy and he was most fittingly cast as Sally Field's bewildered and bemused dad on the "Gidget" series. He had already played Gidget's father once before in the 1963 film Gidget Goes to Rome (1963) with Cindy Carol. Don kept quite busy after the series' demise in 1966 with numerous guest roles although such forgettable film fodder as Elvis Presley's mediocre Live a Little, Love a Little (1968) and Lucille Ball's misguided version of Mame (1974) as the stuck-up Mr. Upson didn't improve his lot. With perhaps the exception of the terrific Robert Redford film The Candidate (1972) in which he ably portrayed a martinet Republican incumbant, Don was a highly appealing and durable actor but seldom tested, with most of his roles noted for their lack of dimension. Long married to actress Peggy Converse, who was a few years older than Don, the couple appeared frequently together on stage in such 60s touring productions as "The Best Man," "Any Wednesday" and "Love and Kisses." Porter died in 1997 at age 84.
James Coco
Born in New York City of humble means, character player James Coco was the son of Feliche, an Italian shoemaker, and Ida (Detestes) Coco. Shining shoes as a youngster with his father, his interest in acting occurred early on as a child. At age 17 he toured with a children's theatre troupe for three years portraying Old King Cole and Hans Brinker. Intensive study with acting guru Uta Hagen led to his Broadway debut at age 29 in "Hotel Paradiso" in 1957, but he earned his first acting award, an Obie, for his performance in the 1961 off-Broadway production of "The Moon in Yellow River". He went on to win a second and third Obie for his performances in the plays "Fragments" (1967) and "The Transfiguration of Benno Blimppie" (1977). Dark, hefty and prematurely balding, he proved to be a natural on the comedy stage and in scores of commercials (notably as Willy the plumber in the Drano ads) throughout the 1960s. Other comedy theater highlights included roles in "Auntie Mame," "Everybody Loves Opal," "A Shot in the Dark," "Bell, Book and Candle" and "You Can't Take It With You".
In the late 60s he formed a strong collaboration with playwright Terrence McNally and appeared in an off-Broadway double-bill of his one-act plays (his one-act was entitled "Witness") in 1968, followed by "Here's Where I Belong" a failed 1968 Broadway musical variation of the Steinbeck play "East of Eden" that closed on opening night. Their most notable alliance occurred the following year with the play "Next," which ran more than 700 performances and earned Coco a Drama Desk award. Sixteen years later, and shortly before Coco's death, the two reunited for the 1985 Manhattan Theatre Club production of "It's Only a Play".
Coco also earned kudos for his work in Neil Simon comedies, and "The Last of the Red Hot Lovers" (1969), which was specifically written for him, earned him a Tony Award nomination as Best Actor. The two later joined forces for a Broadway revival of the musical "Little Me" and the hilarious film comedy spoofs Murder by Death and The Cheap Detective , in addition to his moving support role as Marsha Mason 's depressed gay actor/friend in Only When I Laugh , which garnered his sole Oscar nomination.
Achieving stardom first on stage, Coco's other films were a mixed bag with more misses ( Ensign Pulver , Man of La Mancha (as Sancho Panza), The Wild Party , Scavenger Hunt ) than hits ( A New Leaf ). On the TV screen, Coco fronted two short-lived 1970s comedy series, Calucci's Department and The Dumplings , and also appeared in daytime soaps ( The Edge of Night and "The Guiding Light"). Throughout his career he played an amusing number of characters on such sitcoms as Maude and Alice and also played bathos and pathos to great effect, not only winning an Emmy for his dramatic performance on a St. Elsewhere episode but appearing opposite Doris Roberts as the brittle Van Daan couple in the TV version of The Diary of Anne Frank . One of his last TV assignments was a recurring role on the sitcom "Who's The Boss?" in 1986-1987.
In his last years, Coco received attention for his culinary talents and best-selling cookbooks. The James Coco Diet, an educational book which included chapters on menu planning and behavior modification as well as choice recipes), was just one that he promoted on the talk show circuit. It is probably not a coincidence that he often played characters with extreme food issues. Suffering from obesity (5'10", 250 lbs.) for most his adult life, the talented actor died unexpectedly of a heart attack in New York City in 1987 at the age of 56, and was buried in St. Gertrude's Roman Catholic Cemetery in Colonia, New Jersey.
Janet Waldo
Janet Waldo provided the quintessential voice of the swooning, overly dramatic teenager for numerous generations -- from the 1940s swinging babysitters to the 1960s groovy chick. A bouncy, perennially-youthful brunette, she was born in Yakima, Washington, and began entertaining in church plays as a youth. Urged on by her singer mother, she studied at the University of Washington and performed in plays. She was discovered by none other than Paramount star Bing Crosby , when he and his talent scouts conducted a contest and invited her to try out for it, which she won. Crosby next invited Janet (accompanied by her mother) to California and the rest is history.
Janet met a Paramount talent scout that signed her up for small roles in movies, including the Crosby films, Sing, You Sinners and The Star Maker . Unable to completely break out of her bit-part cycle as assorted hat-check girls, receptionists, and telephone operators, she did manage a few co-starring roles in such Tim Holt westerns, such as The Bandit Trail and Land of the Open Range before setting her career sights on radio in 1943. It was Crosby himself who introduced Janet to radio and she fell in love with the medium and its possibilities. As the eternal teen in "Meet Corliss Archer," Janet's voice became a household sound and it was obvious that. her vocal talents would become her biggest moneymaker. She also performed on radio's "One Man's Family," "The Gallant Heart," and "Star Playhouse." She played the cigarette girl on both Red Skelton and Art Linkletter 's programs, and played teenager Emmy Lou for Ozzie Nelson on both his radio and TV shows. In 1952, Janet filmed one classic I Love Lucy episode, The Young Fans playing an extremely lovesick teenaged girl, who fell for Ricky Ricardo, even though she was around 30 years old at the time.
In 1948 Janet married writer-director-producer Robert E. Lee of "Inherit the Wind" and "Auntie Mame" fame. She curtailed her career activities sharply for some time in order to raise her two children. She even turned down the opportunity to return to her popular role of Corliss Archer when the radio series was revamped for TV in 1951, and Lugene Sanders from the "Life of Riley" series took on the part instead. After sporadic appearances on stage, Janet established herself as one of the top female voice artists in the early 1960s when she gave vocal life to hip high schooler Judy Jetson in the prime-time Hanna-Barbera cartoon series The Jetsons , a role that she would go on to play well past the age of 70. Her vocal range was absolutely limitless as she went on to become a well-oiled Hanna-Barbara staple for over three decades, providing hundreds and hundreds of voices, old and young, to both Saturday morning and feature film cartoons. Some of her better known characters include Granny Sweet, Penelope Pitstop, Superman's Lana Lang, the Addams Family's Morticia Addams, the title role in Josie and the Pussycats and Princess on Sandy Frank 's Battle of the Planets . She is a member of the California Artists Radio Theatre (CART) and has performed frequently on the smaller L.A. stages over the years. The woman with a thousand voices is a legend in her field and an octogenarian now, still as busy and perky as ever doing radio shows (one regularly with Alan Young of "Mister Ed" fame and her co-star on "Batte of the Planets"), commercial voice-overs (Electrosol) and personal appearances. She has also written her personal biography.
Mathew Waters
Mathew was born in Sydney, Australia. He stayed two years at the L A. Talent School in Liverpool, Sydney.

Bill Hayes
Throughout the 70s and a good part of the 80s, Bill Hayes and his second wife, Emmy-winning Susan Seaforth Hayes , reigned as the Lunt and Fontanne of daytime soaps. Prior to this he had become a noted singer/actor on the Broadway stage and in night clubs. Born William Foster Hayes III in Harvey, Illinois, on June 5, 1925, and raised in the Midwest, his father was a bookseller (for 41 years). He got his talent from his dad who enjoyed singing and local community theater performing on the sly. Bill entered WWII as a naval airman, then studied at De Pauw University, where he met and married first wife Mary. They went on to have five children. He later received his master's degree at Northwestern. Blessed with a sturdy tenor, his interest in a professional career was piqued after happening upon a tour of "Carousel" in 1947. From singing telegrams to barbershop quartets to choir directing to jazz group vocals, Bill persevered musically until earning his first big break on TV. A lead singing/stooge role in Olsen & Johnson's zany burlesque revue "Funzapoppin'" in 1949 led to him joining the pair on their short-lived TV show and, ultimately, his resident crooning on Your Show of Shows starring Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca . In the meantime he also performed in vaudeville and broke into films with a supporting role in Stop, You're Killing Me . Despite a wife and family to support, he left the show on his own volition for the chance to star in a new Broadway musical. "Me and Juliet" opened with moderate success in 1953 and lasted over a year, touring with the show in its aftermath. Bill also happened to record "The Ballad of Davey Crockett," which became a surprise #1 Billboard hit and sold over three million copies. A nightclub and TV-variety fixture in the late 1950s, he later managed to flex his vocal chords in such musicals as "Bye Bye Birdie" (national tour), "Brigadoon," "The Pajama Game" and "George M!" The 1960s were a slow, difficult time for Bill professionally and personally, which culminated in the breakup of his marriage. Luck and talent played a part when he was hired to join the cast of Days of Our Lives playing the role of Doug Williams. The character was originally a louse and con artist, but grew more reputable after his character fell in love with feisty troublemaker Julie Olson, played by Susan Seaforth. Their seesaw romantic relationship became one of daytime's top story lines of the 1970s. Off-screen the couple also ignited sparks and, despite their major age difference (she is 18 years his junior), they married on October 12, 1974. In 1984, after 14 years and two daytime Emmy nominations, he and Susan left the show due to their dwindling status. While Susan went on to join the cast of The Young and the Restless the following year, Bill refocused on his singing by performing on the cabaret circuit and recording a few albums. The couple returned on and off to their soap opera alma mater over the years, but in 1999 they became part of the regular cast again with a stronger story line. Bill is still performing on stage, more recently playing Beauregard in "Mame" and with his wife in productions of "A Christmas Carol," "Love Letters" and "Same Time, Another Year," which is a sequel to "Same Time, Next Year."

Known for his intelligent, white-collar demeanor and lean, icy, cultivated menace, the silver-haired performer, who was actually born in Omaha, Nebraska, was often mistaken as British.
Majoring in economics at the University of California in Los Angeles, Wesley switched gears and trained in summer theater on Martha's Vineyard before trekking to New York City to pursue a professional career. In 1935, the actor made his Broadway stage debut with Orson Welles in Archibald Macleish 's "Panic".

Gretchen Wyler
Lovely, sparkling blonde musical actress and dancer Gretchen Wyler was born Gretchen Weinecke in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, the daughter of Louis Gustave Weinecke, a gasoline engineer, and Peggy (nee Highley) Weinecke, on February 15, 1932. She graduated from her home town high school and went on to study dance with June Runyon in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Making her debut with the St. Louis Municipal Opera in 1950 as part of the ballet ensemble, she moved to New York where she found a year-long job as a chorus dancer on Broadway in "Where's Charley?" in 1951. She then played in the chorus of "Guys and Dolls" the following season. In 1955 Gretchen earned the break she was looking for when she won the Broadway role of Janice Dayton in "Silk Stockings" and was the recipient of the ("supporting actress") Outer Critics Circle Award for her provocative, scene-stealing work. Other alluring Broadway roles in musicals followed with Lola in "Damn Yankees" and Rosie in "Bye Bye Birdie". In 1968, she made her London debut in the title role of "Sweet Charity" and stayed with the role for over a year. She has practically run the musical comedy gamut over time appearing in various stock productions, both singing and non-singing, of "Sly Fox" (Drama Desk nomination), "The Gingerbread Lady", "The Man Who Came to Dinner", "Redhead", "Annie Get Your Gun", "Kismet", "Applause", "Born Yesterday", "Call Me Madam", "A Hatful of Rain", "Bus Stop", "Annie", "Can-Can", "Mame", "42nd Street" and the musical version of "Destry Rides Again".
Making her TV debut in 1956 on "The Colgate Comedy Hour", Gretchen appeared occasionally on such light-hearted shows as "Sergeant Bilko" and in the musical variety format, notably with Bob Crosby . Gretchen did not make her film debut until middle-age with The Devil's Brigade starring William Holden , and went on to play Goldie Hawn 's aunt in the film Private Benjamin . She also toured extensively with her own nightclub act, in concerts and with her one-woman show "Broadway Greats and the Songs That Made Them Famous". In later years she guested more and more on TV, including the more recent "Friends" (hilarious as the skin-flint singing widow/hostess who tries to stiff Monica and Phoebe for their catering services at her husband's funeral reception). Outside of some prime-time appearances in "Judging Amy" and "Providence", she has also appeared in such daytime soaps as "Search for Tomorrow" and "Somerset". In 1997 she ended her performing career right where she began -- at the St. Louis Municipal Opera -- playing the irrepressible Dolly Levi.
Away of the limelight, she produced the off-Broadway play "The Ballad of Johnny Pot" in 1971 but, more importantly, dedicated her life's passion to animals as a noted activist. In 1968 she founded a shelter for animals in upstate New York and was on the boards of several humane and wildlife organizations, also sponsoring animal welfare legislation. Divorced since 1968, she had no children but shared her home (of course) with several animals including dogs, cats and horses.

- IMDb Mini Biography By: Credit Scouts
Monica Lewis
For almost two decades, Monica Lewis was the idealized, wholesomely sexy sound and image of apple-pie America, lending a curvaceous, dimpled smile and melodious voice of hope to thousands of U.S. troops through two of the 20th century's greatest wars. She starred on the very first "Ed Sullivan Show" telecast, had numerous hit records including "Put the Blame on Mame", "A Tree in the Meadow", "A Kiss to Build a Dream On", "Autumn Leaves" and "I Wish You Love", and provided the memorable singing voice for the popular cartoon character, "Miss Chiquita Banana".
Monica's course to classic song-styling was set as a child. She was born in Chicago, Illinois, the youngest of three children of musical parents. Her father, Abe, was a symphonic composer and pianist, and her mother, Jessica, sang with the Chicago Opera Company. After the Great Depression forced the Lewis clan to relocate from Chicago to New York City, there was no shortage of sibling rivalry: Monica's sister, Barbara Lewis , established herself as an accomplished concert pianist, while her brother, Marlo Lewis , co-created Ed Sullivan 's landmark television show, The Ed Sullivan Show .
Having studied voice with her mother since a mere toddler, Monica quit junior college at 17 to work as a radio vocalist. In the mid-1940s, she had her own program on WMCA. This and other early airwaves successes led to her debut at Manhattan's legendary Stork Club and subsequent discovery by the "King of Swing", Benny Goodman , who signed her to appear with his popular band. She quickly ascended as a radio vocalist and co-host on programs including "Beat the Band", "The Revere Camera Hour" and "The Chesterfield Show", sharing the microphone with Frank Sinatra . She became one of the country's highest-flying songbirds, working with record labels such as Signature, Decca, Jubilee, Capitol and Verve to create numerous timeless hits and classic albums.
Her TV appearances included Ed Sullivan 's very first broadcast in 1948 and every major variety show opposite legends, including Bob Hope , Danny Thomas and the comedy duo of Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis , with whom she first appeared at New York's Copacabana.
Records and television led to movies and, in 1950, MGM signed Monica to an exclusive multimedia contract. She was groomed in true MGM style - given singing and romantic roles in such films as The Strip with Mickey Rooney , Inside Straight with Barry Sullivan and Excuse My Dust with Red Skelton . She also sang the title song in the Marge Champion and Gower Champion musical, Everything I Have Is Yours , in which she became the only woman other than Marge to ever dance on screen with Gower. Additional appearances followed in Affair with a Stranger , starring Victor Mature and Jean Simmons , and The D.I. with Jack Webb .
Monica eagerly volunteered her talent for the war effort, becoming the darling of U.S. servicemen worldwide through the war bond drive, military radio broadcasts and a 1951 USO tour of South Korea with celebrated entertainer Danny Kaye . Back at home, she delighted the masses as a chart-topping jukebox chanteuse and Burlington Mills hosiery's "Miss Leg-O-Genic". Piel's Light Beer, Camel Cigarettes, Pepsi-Cola and General Electric were among the many other major companies which sold their products with Monica's visage and, for 14 years, she provided the tuneful voice of the animated "Miss Chiquita Banana" in a series of classic cartoon shorts which were shown in movie theaters.
When she married colorful and innovative MCA/Universal Studios production executive Jennings Lang in 1956, she not only became his partner but the mother of his young children: Michael Lang , now a jazz pianist, and Robert, an attorney. Monica and Jennings had a third child together, Rocky Lang , now a noted Hollywood writer, director and producer. She was a featured player in several of her husband's blockbuster Universal movies, including Charley Varrick , Rollercoaster , Airport '77 , The Concorde... Airport '79 , and the Top 100 box-office hit, Earthquake . In the 1980s and 1990s, Monica made a few choice cabaret appearances and recorded several new albums, among them "My Favorite Things", "Monica Lewis Swings Jule Styne" and "Why Did I Choose You?", a tribute to her 40-year marriage to Lang. Monica wrote a photo-filled memoir, "Hollywood Through My Eyes", which is available from Cable Publishing.
Monica Lewis died on June 12, 2015, in Woodland Hills, California.
Kay Thompson
Sleek, effervescent, gregarious and indefatigable only begins to describe the indescribable Kay Thompson -- a one-of-a-kind author, pianist, actress, comedienne, singer, composer, coach, dancer, choreographer, clothing designer, and arguably one of entertainment's most unique and charismatic personalities of the 20th century. Born in Missouri with the uncharismatic name of Catherine L. Fink, she would reinvent herself as Kay Thompson and become a real-life representation of Auntie Mame, living life to the hilt while sharing with that character an unabashed joie de vivre and "never say die" mantra.
The St. Louis born-and-bred celebrity was the second of four born to Austrian immigrant Leo George Thompson, a jeweler, and Hattie Thompson. Nicknamed Kitty by the time she attended Soldan International Studies High School in St. Louis, and (later) Washington University, she began playing the piano at age 4. Deemed a prodigy, she was performing with the St. Louis Symphony by the time she was 16. While this may have been a strong enough focus for some or most, Kay was not to be confined and decided to instead test her singing talents. Singing with local dance bands, she eventually blossomed into a band vocalist with the Tom Coakley and Fred Waring bands. At this juncture, she met and married one of her band's talented trombone players, Jack Jenney , but the marriage ended quickly. She also took to radio and sang alongside the harmony group The Mills Brothers . Eventually she was handed her own CBS-aired show entitled "Kay Thompson and Company". It was short-lived. Kay and the group did make a special appearance in the film Manhattan Merry-Go-Round .
During the mid-to-late 1930s Kay recorded briefly such songs as "You Hit The Spot", "You Let Me Down", "Don't Mention Love To Me" and "Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind", and toward the end of the decade was cast in "Hooray for What", a political revue, but was fired during the pre-Broadway tour. She never returned to the musical stage arena again as a result of that unhappy experience.
Arthur Freed became her ticket to 1940s Hollywood when he hired her as an arranger, coach and composer at MGM Studios. Such noteworthy films that utilized her multiple skills was I Dood It , The Kid from Brooklyn , in which she had a small role, Ziegfeld Follies , The Harvey Girls , Good News , and The Pirate . While vocal coach to such MGM superstars as Judy Garland , Gene Kelly , Lena Horne , Frank Sinatra and June Allyson , Kay forged an extremely tight bond with Garland and was made godmother to first-born, Liza Minnelli . Also during this post-war stage of Kay's life, a second marriage to radio and film writer/producer/director William Spier also came and went. She never had children.
Always on the move, Kay decided to put together her own club act which opened at Ciro's night club in 1947. The singer/comedienne was a sensation with her Coward-esque brand of stylish eccentricity. Her unique, full-throttled blend of sophisticated music, outrageous satire and clever banter made her act a virtual "must see" among the industry's "who's who". Featured with her (in both musical and comedy sketches) was a talented harmony she discovered, the singing Williams Brothers, which featured a young Andy Williams . After a six-year trek the cabaret act was disbanded in the summer of 1953 and Kay spent time designing fashion slacks for long-limbed ladies backed by her clothing line "Kay Thompson Fancy Pants."
The reed-slim, silvery blonde was sadly underused in films, to the detriment of movie lovers alike, appearing in only four films with two of them being specialty cameos. In 1955, however, she nearly stole the thunder from under co-stars Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn as fashion editor Maggie Prescott in the musical classic Funny Face . Her character, inspired by real-life editor Diana Vreeland was expertly showcased in the "Think Pink" number, one of the film's many highlights; Kay was a delight as well in other chic numbers in which she appeared with the stars. While this could have been the start of something big (as a top character player), Kay did not return to films until summoned by goddaughter Liza Minnelli for a featured role in Otto Preminger 's Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon .
In 1958, Kay introduced another new successful side of her -- as a children's author. The best-selling "Eloise" series, which was sparked from Kay's own escapades and adventures, chronicle the tale of a precocious, pixilated 6-year-old who lives at New York's Plaza Hotel and turns the place upside down with her brazen antics. All four books were top sellers: (Eloise (1956); Eloise in Paris (1957); Eloise at Christmastime (1958); and Eloise in Moscow (1959)). A fifth book, Eloise Takes a Bawth, which came from a 1964 manuscript blocked originally for publication, was published in 2002. Kay's most enduring achievement, Eloise, finally made it to the TV screen after her death
In 1962 Kay served as creative consultant and vocal arranger for Judy Garland 's legendary TV special with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin , and kept busy with various nightclub/TV performances of her own until she decided to leave the limelight. It was fashion icon Halston who lured Kay out of her self-imposed retirement for a time in the 1970s in order to stage his runway shows. She eventually moved, however, into Liza Minnelli 's Upper East Side penthouse in New York City and, contrary to her larger-than-life persona, grew quiet and reclusive with the last decade pretty much confined to a wheelchair. She died at the penthouse on July 2, 1998 at age 88.
Dolores Gray
Dabbling in practically every facet of the business during her over six-decade career -- nightclubs, cabaret, radio, recordings, TV, film and Broadway -- sultry, opulent, hard-looking singing star Dolores Gray, distinctive for her sharp, somewhat equine features, lived the high life for most of her time on earth. Born in Chicago in 1924, she began singing in Hollywood supper clubs at age 14 and eventually was discovered by Rudy Vallee , who made her a name on his radio show. From there the larger-than-life talent took to the stage, debuting on Broadway in 1944. In 1947, she gussied up London's post-war theater district when she starred as Annie Oakley in "Annie Get Your Gun." Lucky for her, Ethel Merman refused the tour and Dolores became the toast of the West End for over two years. She also attracted tabloid attention with her extravagant life style, outlandish clothes and 'Auntie Mame'-like joie de vivre. Broadway musicals beckoned following her success abroad and the dusky alto returned to New York, earning raves in the short-lived "Carnival in Flanders" with John Raitt , which won her the Tony award, and "Destry Rides Again" co-starring pre-TV star Andy Griffith , which earned her a Tony nomination. MGM wanted in on the action and signed her. Dolores managed a few scene-grabbing second leads in It's Always Fair Weather starring Gene Kelly , Kismet with Howard Keel and Ann Blyth , The Opposite Sex , starring June Allyson and Joan Collins , which was a somewhat misguided musical version of the classic comedy "The Women," and the chic non-musical Designing Woman with Gregory Peck and Lauren Bacall . And then it was over for Dolores in movies. Hit by the decline of the musical film, she, trooper that she was, found work on TV variety, recorded for Capitol Records and remained a top-of-the-line cabaret act for decades to come. Despite her somewhat outré reputation, Dolores married only once -- to California businessman and race horse owner Andrew Crevolin in 1967. Although the marriage lasted approximately 9 years, they never divorced. In fact, the couple never even formally separated as she was a devout Catholic. She and Andrew would remain close friends until his death in 1992. Dolores passed away a decade later in her Manhattan apartment of a heart attack at age 78 in 2002.
Anne Francine
Anne Francine was best known for her stage portrayal of the flamboyant Vera Charles in "Mame". She played the role--her favorite--both on Broadway and in touring productions.
Her long and successful career began in the nightclubs. She made her professional debut in New York at the elegant Coq Rouge, where a one-night booking turned into a celebrated three-year engagement. Early in her career she made a successful transition from nightclubs to the legitimate stage, performing in both drama and musical comedy. She was featured on Broadway with Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in "The Great Sebastions", with Shirley Booth in "By The Beautiful Sea" and with Maurice Evans in "Tenderloin". She spent two seasons as a member of Ellis Rabb 's acclaimed APA Repertory Company, alternating with Helen Hayes as "Mrs. Candor" in "School For Scandal", joining Rabb and Rosemary Harris in "You Can't Take It With You" as the "Grand Duchess Olga Katrina", and appearing in Jean Anouilh 's "The Flies" under the direction of Vinnette Carroll . In regional theatre she had starred in "Mother Courage", "The Importance Of Being Earnest", "The Skin Of Our Teeth", "Twelfth Night" and "Company". She appeared in films including Federico Fellini 's Juliet of the Spirits , Mike Frankovich 's Stand Up and Be Counted and Savages .

Carrie Nye
Born to play Tennessee Williams , her harsh beauty, caustic humor and throaty tones were unmistakable and reminiscent of a bygone era that once idolized Tallulah Bankhead and Marlene Dietrich . Her old-fashioned stylings were perhaps too theatrical or indulgent to make a noticeable dent on film or TV (such was the case of Bankhead) but perhaps Hollywood was the one who lost out on what could have been a wonderfully flamboyant character actress. In any event, actress Carrie Nye belonged to the stage and in return it embraced her for four decades.
The smoky seductress was born in Mississippi with the highly untheatrical name of Carolyn Nye McGeoy on October 14, 1936 (some sources indicate 1937), the daughter of a banker and a housewife. She began her adult studies at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, but wound up at the Yale School of Drama where she met the equally droll but less acerbic wit Dick Cavett . The couple married in 1964. It was one of those unique, complimentary pairings, like Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft , that withstood the test of time. Cavett was not a comedian then but actively pursuing a legit acting career. Dick and Carrie subsequently went on to perform together in such plays as "Charley's Aunt," "Auntie Mame," "The Brothers Karamazov," "The Skin of Our Teeth" and "Present Laughter" before he altered the course of his career.
Acting professionally from the age of 14, Carrie played all the cherished Southern belle roles (Maggie in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1958), Cherie in "Bus Stop" (1958) and Blanche (at age 23!) in "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1959)) before making her Broadway debut in "A Second String" (based on a novel by Colette) at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in 1960. From there she sunk her teeth into the classics. Notable roles included her title character in "Ondine," Celia in "As You Like It," Lady Macduff (and later Lady Macbeth) in "Macbeth," Cressida in "Troilus and Cressida," Regan in "King Lear," Cleopatra in "Antony and Cleopatra" and Cassandra in "The Trojan Women." On the lighter side, she replaced Betsy von Furstenberg in the popular lightweight comedy "Mary, Mary" and played Cecily Cardew in "The Importance of Being Earnest." In addition, she received a Tony nomination for her work in the musical "Half a Sixpence" in 1965.
She didn't make her film debut until age 30 in The Group , then went on to make only a handful more -- The Seduction of Joe Tynan , Creepshow , Too Scared to Scream and Hello Again . She fared somewhat better in TV-movies, stealing the thunder from under the Richard Burton / Elizabeth Taylor pairing in Divorce His - Divorce Hers , and earning an Emmy nomination for her divine imitation of Bankhead in The Scarlett O'Hara War , which only she could have done true justice.
But for Carrie it was always the theater, particularly regional theater, that took precedence. With a non-concentric and powerful grandeur, she took on a number of lofty roles over the years, including her Eleanor of Acquitaine in "The Lion in Winter," Regina in "The Little Foxes," the title role in "Hedda Gabler" and an encore performance of Blanche DuBois in 1973, this time at age 47. She earned a Drama Desk nomination for "The Man Who Came to Dinner" in 1980 and played alongside Cavett again in a 1985 production of "Nude with Violin." Throughout it all, Carrie was an established presence at the Williamstown Festival appearing from the late 50s on. Such summer productions there included "Design for Living" (1977) and "Clothes for a Summer Hotel (1989), taking her final curtain there in the role of Zelda Fitzgerald. She ended her theatrical reign on a bright note in a musical production of "Mame" (1992).
Carrie pretty much left acting by the mid 1990s. In 2003, however, she took on a villainess role written especially for her on Guiding Light . In 1997, the couple's Long Island home (called Tick Hall) went down in flames. They painstakingly rebuilt an exact replica of the beloved 1883 cottage, which was chronicled in the documentary "From the Ashes: The Life and Times of Tick Hall (2003)".
A heavy smoker, Carrie died of lung cancer at age 69 in her Manhattan home. The couple had no children.
Jan Handzlik
Although he projected both charm and talent as the young "Patrick Dennis" in the stage and film versions of "Auntie Mame," Jan Handzlik ultimately dropped out of acting completely to become a successful lawyer. Long a partner in the nationally recognized law firm of Kirkland and Ellis, he is a specialist in white collar crime, and, in October 2000, was chosen to chair the American Bar Association's National White-Collar Crime Committee. Listed several times in Who's Who in America, he lives in Los Angeles.
Beatrice Lillie
Dubbed "the funniest woman in the world", comedienne Beatrice Lillie was born the daughter of a Canadian government official and grew up in Toronto. She sang in a family trio act with her mother, Lucy, and her piano-playing older sister, Muriel. Times were hard and the ambitious mother eventually took the girls to England to test the waters. In 1914, Bea made her solo debut in London's West End and was an immediate hit with audiences. A valuable marquee player as a droll revue and stage artiste, she skillfully interwove sketches, songs and monologues with parody and witty satire. In 1924, she returned to America and was an instant success on Broadway, thus becoming the toast of two continents. For the next decade, she worked with the top stage headliners of her day, including Gertrude Lawrence , Bert Lahr and Jack Haley . Noël Coward and Cole Porter wrote songs and even shows for her. A top radio and comedy recording artist to boot, Bea's success in films was surprisingly limited, although she did achieve some recognition in such productions as Exit Smiling and Dotor Rhythm . During the Second World War, Bea became a favourite performer with the troops and, in her post-war years, toured with her own show "An Evening with Beatrice Lillie". Her rather eccentric persona worked beautifully on Broadway and, in 1958, she replaced Rosalind Russell in "Auntie Mame". In 1964, she took on the role of "Madame Arcati" in the musical version of "Blithe Spirit", entitled "High Spirits". This was to be her last staged musical. Sadly, her style grew passé and outdated in the Vietnam era, and she quickly faded from view after a movie appearance in Thoroughly Modern Millie . At this point, she had already begun to show early signs of Alzheimer's disease, although she managed to publish her biography in 1973. A year later, Bea suffered the first of two strokes and lived the next decade and a half in virtual seclusion. She died in 1989 at age 94.
Charles Vidor
Hungarian-born Karoly Vidor spent the First World War as a lieutenant in the Austro-Hungarian infantry. Following the armistice, he made his way to Berlin and worked for the German film company Ufa, as editor and assistant director. In 1924, he emigrated to the U.S. and, for several years, earned his living as a singer in Broadway choruses and (at one time) with a Wagnerian troupe. While little detail is extant of this period in his career, it enabled him to accumulate the means with which to finance his own project: an experimental short film entitled The Bridge . On the strength of this, he was signed by MGM to co-direct his first feature film The Mask of Fu Manchu . For the remainder of the decade, Vidor worked with relatively undistinguished material at various studios, notably RKO (1935) and Paramount (1936-37). In 1939, he joined Columbia, where he remained under contract until 1948.
Vidor's career is something of an enigma. Never a particularly prolific filmmaker, his output has been variable. It includes a good-looking, but decidedly stodgy romance, The Swan (starring Grace Kelly in her penultimate screen role); and the interminably dull remake of A Farewell to Arms . On the other side of the ledger is the lavish showbiz biopic of singer Ruth Etting , Love Me or Leave Me , for which Vidor elicited powerhouse performances from his stars Doris Day and James Cagney . Frank Sinatra , also, gave one of his best performances as nightclub entertainer Joe E. Lewis , descending into alcoholism in The Joker Is Wild . Other Vidor standouts are Ladies in Retirement , a gothic Victorian thriller, tautly directed and maintaining its suspense, despite a relatively claustrophobic setting (among the cast, as Lucy the maid, was actress Evelyn Keyes , who became Vidor's third wife in 1944). Finally, two Rita Hayworth vehicles, the breezy musical Cover Girl , and Vidor's principal masterpiece, the archetypal film noir Gilda . This cleverly plotted, morally ambiguous tale of intrigue and ménage-a-trois was one of Columbia's biggest money-earners to date.
Some of the wittier dialogue in "Gilda" was voiced in re-takes, long after primary filming had been completed. The same applies to the two main musical numbers, the show-stopping "Put the Blame on Mame", and "Amado Mio". Yet, under Vidor's direction, all the dramatic and musical elements blended perfectly. The film has an undeniably electric atmosphere, largely due to the chemistry between the three leads. When the same material was later re-worked as Affair in Trinidad (with a bigger budget), that chemistry was notably absent.
In 1948, Vidor fell out with studio boss Harry Cohn , taking him to court for alleged verbal abuse and exploitation. He wanted out of his contract. Having just married Doris Warner, daughter of Warner Brothers president Harry M. Warner , Vidor sensed opportunities in working at a more prestigious studio. Cohn wasn't going to let him go quietly. It was pretty much all over, when actor Steven Geray testified, that he had himself been on the receiving end of invective at the hands of Vidor on the set of "Gilda". Glenn Ford , who thought Vidor opportunistic, then went on the stand, relating, that Cohn routinely used foul language on everyone around him, rather than aiming at any individual in particular. The fact that Vidor was not the easiest man to get along with, became evident during filming of the Liszt biopic Song Without End . Both his stars ( Dirk Bogarde and Capucine ) found him to be ill-tempered and erratic. However, since Vidor died before the film was completed ( George Cukor taking over), other factors may have played a part. In the final analysis, for "Gilda" alone, Charles Vidor deserves a niche in Hollywood heaven.
Robert Allen
As a young man Robert Allen, born Irvine E. Theodore Baehr, learned about horses: he played polo, hunted fox, and rode in the cavalry of of New York Military School, graduating there in 1924. After graduating Dartmouth College in 1929 with a degree in English he worked for a bank which failed in the Depression. Then he flew as a commercial pilot, but that company also folded. His next stop was Hollywood where he quickly landed acting jobs. While he often was cast in the studio's more adult-targeted productions such as The Awful Truth , studio boss Harry Cohn was seeking a suitable replacement for the troublesome (yet wildly popular) Ken Maynard in their more modestly budgeted western unit. Allen's place in film history came in the a half dozen "Bob Allen, Ranger" movies produced in 1936 and 1937. Allen became good friends with his frequent co-star (and sometime movie bad guy), Hal Taliaferro and enjoyed a good working relationship with co-star Tim McCoy . He couldn't sing or play guitar, so when Columbia decided to challenge Gene Autry they went with a new cowboy star, Roy Rogers , and Allen's western career was over. He appeared more than 40 movies and made numerous TV appearances, but he turned primarily to Broadway and Off Broadway for the rest of his acting life. He filled major parts in "Show Boat" and "Kiss Them for Me" and played the nasty Mr. Babcock in "Auntie Mame," playing the part with both Rosalind Russell and Greer Garson . In 1964 he became a real estate broker. He died at age 92 in 1998, survived by daughter Katherine Meyer and son Dr. Theodore Baehr.
Alan Fletcher
Alan Fletcher began his career on the stage at Perth's Hole in the Wall Theatre, before moving to the Perth Theatre Company at the National Theatre, Western Australia, where he worked opposite such great talents as Warren Mitchell , Honor Blackman , Tom Stoppard , Bill Kerr and Tim Brooke-Taylor .
After three years of solid work, he headed to Sydney, where he played his first television role in The Young Doctors , before landing the role that would fully launch him into Australia's lounge rooms - that of "Constable Frank Rossi" on Cop Shop . Various roles in film and television followed, including playing "Martin Blake" on The Love Boat opposite Morgan Fairchild , "Henry Landers" in _Gross Misconduct (1993/I)_ opposite Jimmy Smits and "Frank Harkin" in Mercy Mission: The Rescue of Flight 771 opposite Scott Bakula .
Alan returned to the theater in 1998 with the Melbourne Theatre Company (MTC), with whom he worked with in various lead roles for the next three years. His return to Australian television was honored when he was nominated for an Australian Film Institute (AFI) Award for Best Actor in a Series for his role as Australian Consul, "Michael Clayton" in the Australian series Embassy .
In 1994, Alan took the role of "Dr Karl Kennedy" on Neighbours , a role he plays to the present day. During this time he has also taken to the stage again in "Mame," as well as hosting various television documentaries and lifestyle programs.
Lisa Temple
Lisa grew up playing sports and riding horses in the Midwest, collecting stray cats and dogs along the way. She and her husband (whom she met in college doing an opera) moved to Chicago, where Lisa discovered her love of acting, was cast in numerous independent and students films (from tough police women to killer black widows) and got her SAG card doing a commercial for laundry products! Lisa loves acting in film, but has also spent time on stage in Los Angeles and Chicago. Stage credits include Hillary in the critically-acclaimed "Modern Drama"and Agnes Gooch in "Mame". She co-produced and created the role of Maggie in "Echoes" (written by her husband), and together they mounted her successful solo show called "My Mother's Yard". Other favorite productions include roles in "Frozen", "To Kill A Mockingbird", and "Judgment At Nuremberg", which starred Katharine Ross and Drake Hogestyn.
Charles MacArthur
"Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers out there are starving!" When Patrick Dennis's fictional Auntie Mame uttered this pithy observation, she could have been speaking of Charles MacArthur. Charlie never shied away from the feast, and he certainly never went hungry. Arriving in November 1895 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Charlie was the second youngest of seven children born to stern evangelist William Telfer MacArthur and Georgiana Welsted MacArthur. His early life was dominated by his father's ministry, leading the family to travel cross country wherever the elder MacArthur's calling took them. Charlie spent much of his time during those years hiding in the bathroom -- the only place offering even a modicum of privacy for a member of such a large family -- reading virtually anything he could get his hands on. He developed a passion for the written word that would last him to his dying day. Resisting Reverend MacArthur's insistent urging that his son follow him into the ministry, young Charlie left the family's rural New York home soon after finishing high school. Heading off to the Midwest, he took a reporter's job at The Oak Leaves, a suburban Chicago newspaper owned by two of his older brothers and run by his older sister. His first professional taste of crafting something for others to read whetted his appetite for even more. Intently determined to pursue a calling which for him was as strong as the calling his father had heard, Charlie went to the City News Bureau of Chicago as the first step in his journey toward life as a journalist. Though only 19, the irreverent sense of humor and dislike for mindless authoritarianism for which he would later be so well known was already quite evident in the application he filled out for the job. In the space entitled "Tell us in exactly seventy-five words why you wish to become a reporter," Charlie wrote: "I want to become a reporter more because I like the work than for any other reason. I feel that even if I should branch off in another profession, the experience obtained in getting up on your toes after news would be valuable. These are my reasons. More words would be useless." The excitement of working in brash and brawling pre-1920s Chicago didn't quite satisfy Charlie's hunger for something more, however, and he soon hooked up with General "Black Jack" Pershing, galloping off to Mexico to join in the hunt for the infamous Pancho Villa. When World War I broke out, Charlie joined the Army's 149th Field Artillery, part of the Rainbow Division. During his time in France, he and his battery mate shot down a German plane with nothing more than a machine gun. Later in the war, Charlie sustained a mild shrapnel wound. In 1919 he penned his only book, A Bug's Eye View of the War (later republished in 1929 by Harper Collins as War Bugs) about his unit's adventures and misadventures during some of the most brutal and bloodiest fighting in history. Returning to Chicago just in time for Prohibition, the Roaring 20s, and Al Capone, Charlie became one of Chicago's most well-known and widely read reporters. He authored some of the most enduring pieces ever printed in the pages of the Chicago Tribune and Daily News. His style was inventive, charming, and witty. Readers couldn't get enough. Once, when writing about a dentist accused of sexually molesting his female patients, Charlie chose the headline "Dentist Fills Wrong Cavity". He also wrote several short stories, two of which, "Hang It All" (1921) and "Rope" (1923), were published in H.L. Mencken's The Smart Set magazine. His star continued to rise, and he eventually headed off to the greener pastures of New York City. Once settled in the Big Apple, he began to shift his efforts toward playwrighting. His first true Broadway success was in 1926 with the play "Lulu Belle", written in collaboration with Edward Sheldon . It would later be remade into a 1948 movie starring Dorothy Lamour and George Montgomery . His next play, "Salvation", written in collaboration with Sidney Howard , enjoyed a moderate Broadway run. During the summer of 1927, Charlie and long-time friend and collaborator, Ben Hecht , rented the premises of the Nyack Girl's Academy as a haven from which they could create their own special brand of playwrighting. Helen Hayes (the future Mrs. Charles MacArthur) would tell friends of times when she or Rose Hecht would visit to bring in food or other supplies for their men, and the building would be positively filled with shouts of laughter and merriment. The result of this seclusion was the 1928 Broadway debut of "The Front Page". The phenomenal stage success of "The Front Page" prompted Charlie to head to Hollywood and screenplay work. Having already developed such works as The Girl Said No , Billy the Kid and The Unholy Garden , he hit the jackpot in 1931, first with the movie version of The Front Page (again collaborating with Ben Hecht ), which won Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Director ( Lewis Milestone ), and Best Actor ( Adolphe Menjou ), and then, with the release of The Sin of Madelon Claudet , which netted a 1932 Best Actress Oscar for its star, Helen Hayes . The film also won awards at that year's Venice Film Festival for both its leading lady and its director, Edgar Selwyn . Charlie's screenplay for Rasputin and the Empress , the only movie ever to feature siblings John Barrymore , Ethel Barrymore and Lionel Barrymore together in the same film, gained him his own first Academy Award nomination (in 1934, for Best Original Story). Even though their efforts had turned mostly to filmmaking by this point, it was also during this period that Hecht and MacArthur produced their second smash theatrical effort, "Twentieth Century", which debuted on Broadway in December 1932, and was later made into the well-received 1934 movie starring John Barrymore and Carole Lombard . Unhappy with the machinations of Hollywood's fledgling film industry, however, MacArthur and Hecht decided to set up their own shop in Astoria, New York, producing, writing, directing, and even making uncredited onscreen appearances in a series of films such as The Scoundrel (poking fun at themselves by playing downtrodden patrons of a charity flop house) and Crime Without Passion (in which they portrayed -- what else? -- newspaper reporters). Their work earned much critical acclaim, culminating in the 1936 Best Writing (Original Story) Academy Award for The Scoundrel . Their 1939 collaboration to turn Rudyard Kipling 's epic poem into the movie Gunga Din , starring Cary Grant , Victor McLaglen and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. , was recognized in 1999 by the National Film Registry, and their adaptation of Emily Brontë 's Wuthering Heights garnered the two yet another Academy Award Best Writing (Screenplay) nomination in 1940. That year also saw the remake of "The Front Page" into the popular movie, His Girl Friday , starring Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant . The advent of World War II prompted Charlie to interrupt his writing career and sign on in his country's service once again. He began his second stint of service years as a Major in the Chemical Warfare Service, returning home at the war's conclusion a Lt. Colonel. By now, the father of two children, Mary and James MacArthur , and husband to "The First Lady of the American Theatre", Charlie had amassed a considerable amount of fame in his own right, yet was still looking for something different. Resuming his theatrical and film work, he also took on the duties of editing and publishing the foundering Theatre World magazine, but left after little more than a year, dissatisfied with the politics and constraints of working in a corporate atmosphere. The tragic loss of his 19-year-old daughter to polio in 1949 was a blow from which Charlie would never quite recover. Though he continued to work on screenplays and movie scripts up until his death in 1956, some of which enjoyed a modicum of success, he would never again completely recapture the freewheeling enthusiasm of his earlier days. When his son grew old enough to begin considering a career of his own, his father advised, "Do anything you like, son, but never become a playwright. It's a death worse than fate!" Charles MacArthur left behind a lasting imprint upon both those who knew him personally and those who knew him only through his published works. Supremely disdainful of anything even remotely false or affected, Charlie nevertheless did follow the path his father wished him to take, albeit in his own inimical fashion. His words carried a truth and sincerity few writers have been able to achieve. His unique mix of subtle irony, gentle sarcasm, and poignant pathos reached as deeply into his audience at least as well as any fiery sermon from a pulpit ever could. As Ben Hecht said in the eulogy he delivered at his friend's memorial service (and later expanded upon in his 1957 book, "Charlie: The Improbable Life and Times of Charles MacArthur"), "Charlie was more than a man of talent. He was himself a great piece of writing. His gaiety, wildness and kindness, his love for his bride Helen, and his two children, and for his clan of brothers and sisters -- his wit and his adventures will live a long, long while".
Cody Daniel
Cody Daniel was born in Arlington, Texas to Mark and Sheila Daniel. His father is a nuclear engineer for a popular Texas power company. His Mother was in marketing. He has a younger brother (Brayden) and a younger sister (Kaydence).
While he was only in the sixth grade he auditioned for the high school play, "MAME" and landed the lead role of Patrick. Cody then decided to play hockey as a goaltender. He won his first hockey National Championship at the age of 14. Cody attended a prestigious goal tending academy at the age of 16. He later progressed to a professional career in hockey and he played until the age of 24.
While listening to the radio one day, he heard about TV shows in Dallas needing background actors and the fire for acting was reborn. He landed several small roles in commercials and independent films. While working on the TV shows Chase and The Good Guys, he began taking acting, stunts and weapons training classes. Cody would spend three seasons working on the TV show Dallas. During season 2 of the show "Dallas" Cody landed a speaking role on the last episode which would give him the SAG Eligibility that he had worked so hard to earn. Cody later went on to work on the movie Olympus Has Fallen doing stunts. He currently works on various TV Shows, films, commercials and print work.
Rosemary Prinz
As "Penny Hughes" on daytime TV's As the World Turns from 1956-1968, popular stage and soap actress Rosemary Prinz, the pretty lady with the distinctive mole, was the reigning Susan Lucci of her day. Born in New York City, her father was a classical musician who was a part of the New York String Quartet and, at one time, played cello for the legendary conductor, Arturo Toscanini . A position somewhere in the arts seemed destined for Rosemary. A gifted child, she graduated from high school at age 16 and went directly into summer stock, finding her first role in a 1947 production of "Dream Girls" and continuing on with "Dear Ruth" and "Kiss and Tell". She later toured with theater troupes, including The Vagabond Players. Trained for the theatre by Sanford Meisner , she made her New York/Broadway debut as a girl scout in "The Grey-Eyed People" at the Martin Beck Theatre in 1952. Two years later, she appeared as "Amy" in her first TV soap program entitled First Love . Two years after that, she copped the role of "Penny Hughes" and the rest is soap opera history. After her run on "As the World Turns", soap creator Agnes Nixon used Rosemary's popularity to launch All My Children . Although primarily known for her soapy dramatics, Rosemary has been a formidable theatre performer and is now primarily dedicated to the stage. From dinner theatre to Broadway, her singing skills have been utilized quite frequently with showy roles in "Paint Your Wagon", "The Unsinkable Molly Brown", "Kiss Me Kate", "Annie Get Your Gun", "Applause", "Mame", "Gypsy" and "I Do! I Do!". Four times, she has played opera diva Maria Callas in "Master Class". She has also added stature to such classics as "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", "The Glass Menagerie", "A Long Day's Journey Into Night" and a Broadway production of "Tribute", with Jack Lemmon in 1978. Other soaps she has graced over the years have included How to Survive a Marriage and Ryan's Hope , in addition to revisiting her old alma mater, As the World Turns , from time to time. In her 70s, she is still an active performer.

He has a younger brother, Dylan. His surname, "Efron", is a Biblical place name, and comes from Zac's Polish Jewish paternal grandfather. The rest of Zac's recent ancestry is English, German, and Scottish. Zac was raised in Arroyo Grande, CA. He took his first step toward acting at the age of eleven, after his parents noticed his singing ability.

Eric Stoltz
Eric Cameron Stoltz is a theater-trained actor and producer who has starred in both independent and studio films. He was born on September 30, 1961 in Whittier, California, to Evelyn Vawter, a violinist and schoolteacher, and Jack Stoltz, an elementary school teacher. He has German, English, and Scottish ancestry. Eric was raised in both American Samoa and Santa Barbara, California, where by the age of fourteen, he was earning money by playing piano for the local musical theater productions, including "Mame" starring Anthony Edwards , whom he co-starred with as two of Jeff Spicoli's stoner friends in Fast Times at Ridgemont High . The two became friends, and then college roommates when both attended the University of Southern California. Dropping out in his junior year, Eric joined a repertory company that did 10 plays at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland.

In the 1980s, he garnered attention (and a Golden Globe Nomination) starring as Rocky Dennis in Mask , and in John Hughes ' Some Kind of Wonderful . In 1988, he made his Broadway debut in Our Town , for which he was nominated for a Tony Award.

Sally Struthers
Cute as a button and with a petite, porcelain prettiness and vulnerability that endeared her to the American public, Sally Struthers nabbed a series role in the early 1970s and became a solid part of TV history as a member of a dysfunctional family quartet in the milestone sitcom, All in the Family . She was born Sally Ann Struthers on July 28, 1948, in Portland, Oregon and raised there, pursuing an acting career following high school. Relocating to Los Angeles, she trained at the Pasadena Playhouse College of Theatre Arts and earned a scholarship as its "most promising student". She performed briefly in regional stock plays until finding her break as both a commercial actress and dancer on TV. She appeared as a regular on such variety shows as The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and The Tim Conway Comedy Hour and showed starlet promise in films, as well as offering ditsy support in the Jack Nicholson starrer, Five Easy Pieces , and the chase film, The Getaway , top-lining Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw . And, then came All in the Family . Also starring Carroll O'Connor , Jean Stapleton and Rob Reiner , Struthers went on to win two supporting Emmy Awards as Kewpie-doll "Gloria Bunker Stivic". She and Rob Reiner left the show after seven seasons, both eager to grow. While Rob Reiner became a noted director, Sally made her Broadway debut in "Wally's Cafe" in 1981, and returned, four years later, with a gender-bending version of "The Odd Couple" as neat-freak "Florence" opposite Rita Moreno 's slovenly "Olive". In addition, she found work in topical mini-series drama with Aloha Means Goodbye , Hey, I'm Alive , My Husband Is Missing , ...And Your Name Is Jonah , A Gun in the House , to name a few. But without a hit show as collateral, offers started drying up. Sally returned to the TV series fold in the early 1980s spinning off her "Gloria" character with the self-titled sitcom, Gloria , but the ensemble formula that worked so well for her before was missing here and the show died in its freshman year. To compensate, however, Sally's baby-doll voice worked extremely well for her in cartoons. She remained active off-camera, providing little girl voices for Saturday morning entertainment, notably her teenage "Pebbles Flintstone" character. Other voice-over work included TaleSpin , as "Rebecca 'Becky' Cunningham", and puppeteer Jim Henson 's creative prehistoric sitcom, Dinosaurs , playing dino-daughter "Charlene Sinclair". Struthers' significant weight gain in later years moved her quickly into broad character shtick. She showed that she had lost none of the fun for which she was known, by providing broad and hearty comedy relief on both daytime soaps and prime-time episodics, including General Hospital and Gilmore Girls . She also filled her time with frequent roles on the musical stage. Over the years, she has practically put a patent on the by-the-book principal "Miss Lynch", with her many "Grease" tours, and as the hissable orphanage operator "Miss Hannigan" in a number of road productions of "Annie". Most recently, she copped a 2002 Los Angeles "Ovation" award for her delightfully over-the-top "Agnes Gooch" in "Mame", starring Carol Lawrence . Divorced, Sally is the mother of one daughter who has made a career for herself as a clinical psychologist. For years, Sally was a prime spokesperson for the Christian Children's Fund on TV, fervently (and often tearfully) appealing for viewer's monetary assistance in finding an end to starvation in under-developed countries.
Bea Arthur
Actress-comedienne Bea Arthur was born on May 13, 1922 in New York City to a Jewish family. She grew up in Maryland, where her parents ran a dress shop. At 12 years old, she was the tallest girl in her school at 5'9". She earned the title "wittiest" girl in her school, and Bea's dream was to be in show business, but she didn't think her family would support it. She then worked as a laboratory technician, drove a truck and worked as a typist in the Marine Corps. She also had a brief first marriage, which ended in divorce. Afterwards, she told her parents she wanted to pursue a career in show business, and they supported her decision to join the New York's Dramatic Workshop for the New School for Social Research. She played classical and dramatic roles, but it would be years before she found her niche in comedy. Her breakthrough came on stage while appearing in the musical play "The Threepenny Opera," with Lotte Lenya . For one season in the 1950's, she was a regular on Sid Caesar 's television show, Caesar's Hour . In 1964, she became truly famous as Yente the Matchmaker, in the original Broadway production of "Fiddler on the Roof." While a small supporting role, Bea stole the show night after night.
In 1966, she went to work on a new Broadway musical, "Mame", directed by her second husband, Gene Saks , winning a Tony Award for the featured role of Vera Charles. The show's star, Angela Lansbury , also won a Tony Award, and she and Bea became lifelong friends. In 1971, Arthur appeared on the hit sitcom All in the Family as Maude Findlay, Edith Bunker's cousin, who was forever driving Archie Bunker crazy with her liberal politics. The guest appearance led to Bea's own series entitled Maude . The show was a hit, running for six years, during which many controversial topics of the time, including abortion, were tackled, and Bea won her first Emmy Award. While doing Maude , Bea repeated the role of Vera Charles in the film version of Mame , again directed by Gene Saks , but it was a dismal flop. She also appeared on The Star Wars Holiday Special . While playing "Maude," she raised her two adopted sons with then-husband Gene Saks. After the show ended, so did Bea's marriage to Saks. She never remarried, and became a lifelong animal rights' activist.
In 1983, she started working on a new sitcom, Amanda's , patterned after Britian's_"Fawlty Towers" (1975)_, but it was short-lived. In 1985, came what many consider the highlight of Bea Arthur's career, when the sitcom_"The Golden Girls" (1985)_ made its debut. Co-starring Betty White , Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty , the show was about the lives of three middle-aged women, and one's elderly mother, (played by Getty, who was actually younger than her three co-stars), living in Miami. It was an immediate hit, running for seven seasons. All of the cast members, including Bea, won Emmy Awards during the show's run. It's worth noting that_"Maude" (1972)_ and_"The Golden Girls" (1985)_ were canceled when Bea announced she was leaving. She left when she thought each show was at its peak. The producers realized the shows wouldn't be the same without her. In 1992, The Golden Girls was canceled. Bea kept a low profile, appearing in only two movies: For Better or Worse and Enemies of Laughter .
In 1999, she made a very successful and welcome appearance at The N.Y. Friars Club Roast of Jerry Stiller . She did a one-woman stage show in 2001, for which she received a Tony Award nomination. In 2003, she reunited with Betty White and Rue McClanahan for The Golden Girls reunion special on the Lifetime Channel. Noticeably absent was supporting actress Estelle Getty , who was ill. The three lead actresses made appearances together for the rest of the decade to promote DVD releases of The Golden Girls . They appeared together for the last time in 1998, at the TV Land Awards, where they received a standing ovation as they accepted the Pop Culture Award. Bea then attended, with Angela Lansbury , when she was inducted to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame.
On April 25, 2009, at home with her family, Bea Arthur died of cancer. She was 86. She's survived by her two sons, Matthew and Daniel, and her grandchildren, Kyra and Violet. In her will, she left $300,000 to New York's Ali Forney Center, an organization supporting homeless Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender youths.
Loretta Swit
Equally versatile at comedy and drama, Loretta Swit's parents, Polish immigrants who settled in Passaic, New Jersey, were not in favor of her making a stab at a show business career. Performing on stage from age 7, however, nothing and nobody could deter her. A natural singer who trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts before finding work in repertory companies, her features were deemed a bit too plain and hard for ingénue roles so she attempted musicals and light comedy, imbuing her characters with a snappy, comic edge. Beginning with the 1967 national touring company of "Any Wednesday", starring Gardner McKay , she forged ahead as a scene-stealing "Pigeon sister" opposite Don Rickles and Ernest Borgnine in an L.A. run of "The Odd Couple" and, from there, earned more laughs as the hopelessly awkward "Agnes Gooch" in the Las Vegas version of "Mame" starring Susan Hayward and (later) Celeste Holm .
Arriving in Hollywood in 1970, Loretta merited some attention by lightening up a number of dramas with her humorous, off-centered performances on such TV fare as Gunsmoke , Mission: Impossible , Hawaii Five-O and Mannix . Her star-making role, however, came within two years of moving to the West Coast when she inherited Sally Kellerman 's vitriolic "Hot Lips" Houlihan movie character for the TV series version of M*A*S*H . She stayed with the show the entire eleven seasons and was Emmy-nominated every season the show was on the air (except the first).
Although Loretta's post-"M*A*S*H" career may appear less noteworthy (it would be hard to imagine anything that could top her bookend Emmy wins on the M*A*S*H series), she has nonetheless remained quite active and provided colorful support in a handful of films including S.O.B. , Beer , Whoops Apocalypse , Forest Warrior and Beach Movie . She also kept up her TV visibility with episodic appearances and occasional mini-movies, including originating the role of "Chris Cagney" in the TV pilot of Pilot . Returning to singing on occasion, she also inherited the Linda Lavin role in the TV version of the stage musical It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman! .
On stage, she made her Broadway debut opposite That Girl 's Ted Bessell in "Same Time, Next Year" in 1975 and later replaced Cleo Laine on Broadway in "The Mystery of Edwin Drood". Honored with the Sarah Siddons award for her title role in "Shirley Valentine" (over 1,000 performances) in Chicago, she has more recently toured in productions of "The Vagina Monologues" and played the musical title role of "Mame" in 2003. Loretta also was a five-season host of the 1992 cable-TV wildlife series "Those Incredible Animals" (1992).
Off-stage, Loretta was once married to actor Dennis Holahan , whom she met on the set of M*A*S*H , in 1983. They had no children and divorced in 1995. Her natural spark and trademark blonde, curly mane are more prevalent these days at animal activist fundraisers. A strict vegetarian, she has served as a spokesperson for the Humane Society of the United States and has been multi-honored for her long-time dedication and passion to animals. She is also the author of a book on needlepoint (A Needlepoint Scrapbook), runs her own line of jewelry and exhibits watercolor paintings. As a result, little has been seen of Loretta on film and TV, into the millennium.
Jo Anne Worley
This tall (with piled-on jet-black hair), attractive, tunnel-mouthed comedienne is a one-of-a-kind commodity and certainly no shrinking violet when it comes to entertaining. Unapologetically, she adores the center stage...and vice versa -- the stage loves her. Like several of her Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In cohorts, Jo Anne Worley zoomed to overnight cult stardom in the late 1960s but, in her case, was able to extend her wild and woolly popularity to several other levels once her "fifteen minutes" of fame was over. Over the years, she has situated herself nicely into night clubs, musical theater productions, game shows, talk shows, commercials, and even cartoons. Four decades plus later, Jo Anne continues to delight and is instantly recognized with a mere raucous laugh and/or trademark pointy digit embedded in her cheek.
The brassy, indefatigable Jo Anne was born in Lowell, Indiana, on September 6, 1937, the third of five children and has always separated herself from the crowd with her distinctively loud voice, whether singing or not. The writing was on the wall when she was crowned "school comedienne" in high school. Following graduation (1955), she traveled east to pursue her dreams and initially apprenticed with the Pickwick Players. After a two-year dramatic scholarship to Midwestern State University, she transferred to Los Angeles City College and also trained at the Pasadena Playhouse. It did not take long before she made her professional debut in a production of "Wonderful Town." In 1961, she garnered some attention in the popular L.A. musical revue "Billy Barnes People," a show that took her all the way, if very briefly, to Broadway.
Performing in assorted musicals and revues over the next few years including "Carnival" (1962), "Second City Review" (1964), and "Hotel Passionato" (1965), Jo Anne's career was given a boost when she co-starred with fellow up-and-comers Linda Lavin and 'Paul Sand (I)'_ in the Mad Magazine-inspired off-Broadway revue "The Mad Show" in 1966. That same year, she received the break she was looking for when she was discovered by talk-show host Merv Griffin while showcasing her nightclub act in Greenwich Village. Griffin took a strong liking to her and gave her a viable comedy platform to play on with approximately 200 appearances in all. Producer George Schlatter caught Jo Anne's zany antics on Griffin's show and invited her to swinging TV stardom in 1968. The rest is history.
It's not always easy to stand out in a large ensemble but Jo Anne did, complete with unabashed manic energy and faux operatic tones on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In as part of the "let it all hang out" generation. In this psychedelic, irreverently political pastiche of comedy slapstick and music, Jo Anne found a perfect forum for her talents. Her bold, infectious comic flair proved a real crowd pleaser, and the big boned brunette became a certifiable TV star. While the show also made stars out of Ruth Buzzi , Henry Gibson and Arte Johnson and superstars out of Goldie Hawn and Lily Tomlin , it also managed to rebuff the somewhat fading stars of co-hosts Dan Rowan and Dick Martin , and singer/actress Judy Carne .
In 1970, Jo Anne left the celebrated madness at the peak of the show's popularity to pursue a variety of other creative outlets. She made onscreen guest appearances on several TV shows, notably Love, American Style , and was a steadfast presence on the talk show, variety show and game show circuits. Strangly enough, however, she never found a sitcom or another TV vehicle to adequately test-drive her comedy revvings.
With such a high-wattage personality that invites comparisons to Carol Burnett , Carol Channing and Ethel Merman , Jo Anne may have out-sized herself for films but her larger-than-life presence perfectly fit the musical theater bill. For decades she found a vast number of showcases to logically suit her. Her many musical tours have included, notably, "Gypsy" as Mama Rose, "The Wizard of Oz" as the Wicked Witch, and "Mame" as the title socialite. In addition, Jo Anne has found marvelous vehicles in "The Pirates of Penzance," "Annie Get Your Gun," "Anything Goes," "Nunsense," "Grease!," "Call Me Madam," and "Annie". Her non-singing theater resume includes "Luv," "Same Time, Next Year," "Lovers and Other Strangers," "Moon Over Buffalo," "Steel Magnolias," and the female version of "The Odd Couple." Many of these shows co-starred then-husband Roger Perry , whom she married in 1975. The couple had no children and divorced in 2000.
In 1989, Jo Anne returned to Broadway to appear in the original performance of "The Prince of Central Park." Her work over the years has been plentiful, especially for the Disney people, including the movie The Shaggy D.A. and animated features Beauty and the Beast (as the voice of the Wardrobe) and A Goofy Movie .
In other pursuits, Jo Anne has been active on the lecture circuit and has also served on the Board of Directors for Actors and Others for Animals. She also performs in concert, typically offering parodies of well-known songs to suit her man-chasing personality. A culinary enthusiast, she has also been seen whipping up specialties on the Food Network ("Ready Set Cook" and "Chef du jour").
Ann Miller
Ann Miller was born Johnnie Lucille Ann Collier on April 12, 1923 in Chireno, Texas. She lived there until she was nine, when her mother left her philandering father and moved with Ann to Los Angeles, California. Even at that young age, she had to support her mother, who was hearing-impaired and unable to hold a job. After taking tap-dancing lessons, she got jobs dancing in various Hollywood nightclubs while being home-schooled. Then, in 1937, RKO asked her to sign on as a contract player, but only if she could prove she was 18. Though she was really barely 14, she managed to get hold of a fake birth certificate, and so was signed on, playing dancers and ingénues in such films as Stage Door , You Can't Take It with You , Room Service and Too Many Girls . In 1939, she appeared on Broadway in "George White's Scandals" and was a smash, staying on for two years. Eventually, RKO released her from her contract, but Columbia Pictures snapped her up to appear in such World War II morale boosters as True to the Army and Reveille with Beverly . When she decided to get married, Columbia released her from her contract. The marriage was sadly unhappy and she was divorced in two years. This time, MGM picked her up, showcasing her in such films as Easter Parade , On the Town and Kiss Me Kate . In the mid-1950s, she asked to leave to marry again, and her request was granted. This marriage didn't last long, either, nor did a third. Ann then threw herself into work, appearing on television, in nightclubs and on the stage. She was a smash as the last actress to headline the Broadway production of "Mame" in 1969 and 1970, and an even bigger smash in "Sugar Babies" in 1979, which she played for nine years, on Broadway and on tour. She has cut back in recent years, but did appear in the Paper Mill Playhouse (Millburn, New Jersey) production of Stephen Sondheim 's "Follies" in 1998, in which she sang the song "I'm Still Here", a perfect way to sum up the life and career of Ann Miller. On January 22, 2004, Ann Miller died at age 80 of lung cancer and was buried at the Holy Cross Cemetary in Culver City, California.
Juliet Prowse
Born in India to South African parents, Juliet studied to be a dancer from the age of 4. Attending the Royal Academy of Dance, by the time Juliet was 14, she was deemed too tall at just under six feet to enter the world of ballet. She signed as a chorus dancer with the London Palladium and then pursued a career as a dancer in European nightclubs. While dancing in Paris, she was spotted by Hollywood choreographer Hermes Pan and signed to a role in the movie Can-Can . While rehearsing for the movie, Soviet Premier Khrushchev was invited to watch the then-unknown Prowse and others rehearsing their steps. The next day, he denounced the dance as immoral and it was Prowse's photo that accompanied the news across newspapers worldwide. An instant celebrity, Juliet shot to stardom with her acting and dancing and the tabloids filled with her romance with star Frank Sinatra . That same year, she also appeared with Elvis Presley in G.I. Blues and again the tabloids followed her.
She appeared in more films the next year but, as her celebrity status waned, so did her movie career. Her engagement to Sinatra in 1962 fueled her nightclub act, but did nothing for her movie career. In 1965, Juliet moved to television with the series Mona McCluskey , playing a nutty Hollywood starlet, but the show soon ended. Her big-screen career ended with Run for Your Wife (aka Run for Your Wife) and she, thereafter, appeared on the stage and on the nightclub circuit. Some of her stage shows included "Sweet Charity", "Kismet", "Irma La Douce", "Mame" and "The Pajama Game". She also appeared as a guest on Television but, most of the time, she worked in her nightclub act. In 1994, she was diagnosed with cancer.
Rosalind Russell
The middle of seven children, she was named after the S.S. Rosalind at the suggestion of her father, a successful lawyer. After receiving a Catholic school education, she went to the American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York, having convinced her mother that she intended to teach acting. In 1934, with some stock company work and a little Broadway experience, she was tested and signed by Universal. Simultaneously MGM tested her and made her a better offer. When she plead ignorance of Hollywood (while wearing her worst-fitting clothes), Universal released her and she signed with MGM for seven years.
For some time she was used in secondary roles and as a replacement threat to limit Myrna Loy 's salary demands. Knowing she was right for comedy, she tested five times for the role of Sylvia Fowler in The Women . George Cukor told her to "play her as a freak." She did and got the part. Her "boss lady" roles began with the part of reporter Hildy Johnson in His Girl Friday , through whose male lead, Cary Grant , she met her future husband, Grant's houseguest at the time.
In her forties, she returned to the stage, touring "Bell, Book and Candle" in 1951 and winning a Tony for "Wonderful Town" in 1953. Columbia, worried the public would think she had the female lead in Picnic , billed her "co-starring Rosalind Russell as Rosemary." She refused to accept an Oscar nomination as supporting actress for the part, an Oscar she would no doubt have won had she relented. "Auntie Mame" kept her on Broadway for two years followed by the movie version.
Aisha Hinds
When Aisha Hinds' junior high school tap dance instructor observed that she needed an outlet for expression that surpassed her tap shoes, she was guided to the High School of Performing Arts in New York - where her formal acting training began.

Phyllis Diller
The indefatigable nonagenarian finally put out an autobiography in 2005 and entitled it "Like a Lampshade in a Whorehouse", which pretty much says it all when recalling the misfit life and career of the fabulous, one-of-a-kind Phyllis Diller. It may inspire all those bored, discouraged and/or directionless housewives out there to know that the one-time 37-year-old chief bottle washer and diaper disposer of six started out writing comedy routines for her fellow female laundry mates as a sort of reprieve from what she considered her everyday household doldrums. Little did she know she would wind up an entertainment legend who would share the biggest comedy stages with the likes of Bob Hope , George Burns and Jack Benny .
They said it couldn't be done back then (to be a successful lady comic, that is) but the doyenne of female stand-up did just that -- opened the doors for other odd-duck funny girls who dared to intrude on what was considered a man's profession. Initially, the comedienne whipped up an alter-ego that could have only been created with the aid of hallucinogens. Boldly facing the world as a scrawny, witchy-faced, flyaway haired, outlandishly costumed, cigarette-holding, magpie-cackling version of "Auntie Mame", Phyllis Diller made a virtue out of her weird looks and cashed in on her wifely horror tales and her own idiosyncratic tendencies. Diller's solid fan base has been thriving now for over five decades.
She was born Phyllis Ada Driver on July 17, 1917 in Lima, Ohio to Perry Marcus and Frances Ada (Romshe) Driver. A student at Lima's Central High School, she went on to study for three years at the Sherwood Music Conservatory in Chicago, Illinois, before transferring to Bluffton (Ohio) College where she served as the editor of the school's more humorous newspaper articles. She was a serious student of the piano but was never completely confident enough in her performance level to try and act on it as a possible career.
Before she knew it, Phyllis was married (to Sherwood Anderson Diller at age 22 in November 1939), and had become the mother to a brood of six (one child died in infancy). On the sly, she was an advertising copywriter. During World War II, the family moved to Michigan where her husband found work at the Willow Run Bomber Plant. A natural laughgetter, Phyllis began writing household-related one-liners and the feedback from the fellow wives greatly encouraged her. When the family moved to California for job-related reasons, Phyllis became a secretary at a San Francisco television station. By this time, she had built up the courage to put together a nightclub act. The local television hosts at the station (Willard Anderson and Don Sherwood) thought her act was hilarious and invited her on their show in 1955. Not long after, at age 38, Phyllis made her debut at San Francisco's Purple Onion nightclub. What was to be a two-week engagement was stretched out to more than a year and a half. The widespread publicity she received took her straight to the television talk and variety circuits where she was soon trading banter with Jack Paar , Jack Benny and Red Skelton , among others, on their popular television series. She was even a contestant on Groucho Marx 's popular quiz show You Bet Your Life .
Throughout the 1960s, audiences embraced her bold and brazen quirkiness. Chumming up with the best of Hollywood's comedy talent, Diller formed a tight and lasting relationship with Bob Hope , appearing in scores of his television specials and co-starring in three of his broad 1960s comedy films ( Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! , Eight on the Lam and The Private Navy of Sgt. O'Farrell . Diller also joined Hope in Vietnam in 1966 with his USO troupe. She meshed perfectly with the far-out popular cult figures of her era (remember Tiny Tim ?) and found the best writers to help her with her material -- Joan Rivers , herself, before she became big, wrote for the wisecracking comedienne.
Phyllis' star celebrity eventually took its toll on her marriage. She separated from and eventually divorced Sherwood (1965), who had, by this time, become a favorite topic and target of her act in the form of husband "Fang". That same year, she married singer, film actor and television host Warde Donovan who appeared with her in the slapstick movie Did You Hear the One About the Traveling Saleslady? . They divorced in 1975.
By this time, Diller was everywhere on the small screen. A special guest on hordes of television series and comedy specials and, especially on such riotfests as Laugh-In and the Dean Martin celebrity series of roasts, she became a celebrity on the game show circuit as well, milking laughs on such established shows as The Hollywood Squares and The Gong Show . She also had best-selling comedy records to her credit and humorous anecdotes to pitch that made it to the bookstore shelves, such as "Phyllis Diller Tells All About Fang". However, stand-up remained her first love. Perhaps way too broad or too much of a schtick artist to sustain her own television series, she did attempt to find a suitable vehicle but came up short. The Phyllis Diller Show had Phyllis pretty much pulling out all the stops (fright wig, garish outfits and all) as a wacky widow invariably scheming to keep up a wealthy front despite being heavily in debt. She had the reliably droll Reginald Gardiner and cranky Charles Lane as foils and even Gypsy Rose Lee was in there pitching, but the show didn't jell. Revamped as "The Phyllis Diller Show", several of comedy's best second bananas ( John Astin , Paul Lynde , Richard Deacon , Billy De Wolfe , Marty Ingels ) were added to the mix, but the show was canceled after a single season. A second try with The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show , a comedy/variety show that had the zany star backed by none other than Rip Taylor and Norm Crosby , lasted only three months.
Seldom has Diller managed (or even been offered) to take her funny face off long enough to appear for dramatic effect. Somewhat more straightforward roles came later on episodes of Boston Legal and 7th Heaven . Back in 1961, interestingly enough, she made both her stage and film debuts in the dramas of William Inge . Her theatrical debut came with a production of "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs" and she appeared first on film in the highly dramatic Splendor in the Grass , lightening things up a bit with a cameo appearance as larger-than-life nightclub hostess Texas Guinan . Phyllis later impressed with her harridan role in the film The Adding Machine opposite Milo O'Shea . She also enjoyed a three-month run on Broadway in "Hello, Dolly!" with Richard Deacon co-starring, and has appeared in other delightful shows and musicals over time -- "Wonderful Town" (she met her second husband Warde Donovan in this production), "Happy Birthday", "Everybody Loves Opal" and "Nunsense". In 1993, Phyllis was inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame. Her cackling vocals have enhanced animated features, too, what with Mad Monster Party? and A Bug's Life . It took a heart attack in 1999 to finally slow down the comedienne and she eventually announced her retirement in 2002.
Eldest son, Peter Diller died of cancer in 1998, her third child died at two weeks old in 1945, and a daughter, Stephanie Diller , died of a stroke in 2002. Her other children are Sally Diller, Suzanne Sue Diller and Perry Diller . As late as January 2007, Phyllis made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno . She was set to return on her 90th birthday in July but a back injury forced her to cancel. Hopefully, we have not seen the last of this beloved comedy icon tickles the funny bone whenever and wherever she shows up. Phyllis Diller died at age 95 of heart failure on August 20, 2012 in her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California.
Forrest Tucker
Forrest Tucker, best known to the Baby Boom generation as Sergeant O'Rourke on the classic TV sitcom F Troop , was born on February 12, 1919, in Plainfield, Indiana. He began his performing career at age 14 at the 1933 Chicago "Century of Progress" World's Fair, pushing big wicker tourists' chairs by day and singing at night. His family moved to Arlington, Virginia, where he attended Washington-Lee High School in 1938.
Big for his age, as a youth Tucker was hired by the Old Gayety Burlesque Theater in Washington, DC, to serve as a Master of Ceremonies for the burly-cue after consecutively winning Saturday night amateur contests. He was fired when it was found out that he was underage. When he turned 18, he was rehired by the Old Gayety.
After graduating from high school in 1938, the 6'4", 200-lb. Tucker played semi-pro football in the Washington, DC, area. He also enlisted in the National Guard and was assigned to a cavalry unit in Ft. Myers, Virginia. He started at the top when he entered the movies, in a supporting role in William Wyler 's The Westerner opposite Gary Cooper and Walter Brennan , who won his third Oscar for portraying Judge Roy Bean in the picture. He got the role during his 1939 vacation from the Old Gayety, which shut down due to the District of Columbia's horrible summers in the days before air conditioning was common.He was signed to the part in the Wyler picture, which required a big fellow with enough presence for a fight scene with the 6'3" superstar Cooper.
Tucker moved to California and began auditioning for parts in films. After "The Westerner", it was off to Poverty Row, where he appeared in William Beaudine 's Emergency Landing at rock-bottom PRC (Producers Releasing Corp.). He was soon signed by Columbia and assigned to the B-pictures unit, though he was lent to MGM for the Spencer Tracy - Katharine Hepburn vehicle Keeper of the Flame , his last film before going off to World War II.
Tucker served as an enlisted man in the Army during the war, being discharged as a second lieutenant in 1945. He returned to Columbia and resumed his acting career with an appearance in the classic film The Yearling . He signed with Republic Pictures in 1948, which brought him one of his greatest roles, that of the Marine corporal bearing a grudge against gung-ho sergeant John Wayne in Sands of Iwo Jima . At Republic Tucker was top-billed in many of the "B' pictures in the action and western genres the studio was famous for, such as Rock Island Trail , California Passage and Ride the Man Down , among many others. In 1958 he broke out of action / western pictures and played Beauregard Burnside to Rosalind Russell 's Auntie Mame , the highest grossing US film of the year. It showed that Tucker was capable of performing in light comedy.
Morton DaCosta , his director on "Auntie Mame", cast Tucker as "Professor" Harold Hill in the national touring production of The Music Man , and he was a more than credible substitute for the great Broadway star Robert Preston , who originated the role. Tucker made 2,008 appearances in The Music Man over the next five years, then starred in "Fair Game for Lovers" on Broadway in 1964.
However, it was television that provided Tucker with his most famous role: scheming cavalry sergeant Morgan O'Rourke in "F Troop", which ran from 1965 to 1967 on ABC. Ably supported by Larry Storch , Ken Berry and James Hampton , Tucker showed a flair for comedy and he and Storch had great chemistry, but the series was canceled after only two seasons. It has, however, remained in syndication ever since.
Following "F Troop", Tucker returned to films in supporting parts (having a good turn as the villain in the John Wayne western Chisum ) and character leads ( The Wild McCullochs ). On television he was a regular on three series: Dusty's Trail with Bob Denver ; The Ghost Busters , which reunited him with Larry Storch; and Filthy Rich . Tucker was also a frequent guest star on TV, with many appearances on Gunsmoke and in the recurring role of Jarvis Castleberry, Flo's estranged father, on Alice and its spin-off, Flo . He continued to be active on stage as well, starring in the national productions of Plaza Suite , Show Boat , and That Championship Season . He also toured with Roy Radin 's Vaudeville Revue, a variety show in which, as a headliner, he told Irish stories and jokes and sang Irish songs.
Tucker returned to the big screen after an absence of several years in 1986, playing hero trucker Charlie Morrison in the action film Thunder Run . His comeback to features was short-lived, however, as he died on October 25, 1986, in the Los Angeles suburb of Woodland Hills, of complications from lung cancer and emphysema. He was 67 years old. Tucker was buried in Forest Lawn-Hollywood Hills Cemetery in Los Angeles.
Constance Towers
This elegant singer/actress initially had designs on becoming an opera singer. Born in Montana on May 20, 1933, and christened Constance Mary Towers, she appeared on radio as a child singer. Her family moved to New York where she subsequently studied at the Julliard School of Music and the American Academy of the Dramatic Arts (AADA). A chance casting in a summer production of "Carousel" led her away from her operatic aspirations and into the musical theater arena. Before she settled into this, however, she gained early exposure on the chic nightclub circuit and fostered an attempt at stardom via films. She co-starred with Frankie Laine playing a school teacher in the modest movie musical Bring Your Smile Along , and appeared in exceptionally strong ingénue roles in the movie dramas The Horse Soldiers starring John Wayne and Sergeant Rutledge opposite Jeffrey Hunter . Director Samuel Fuller cast her against type in some of his highly offbeat dramas in the early 1960s. She played a stripper girlfriend in Shock Corridor and in The Naked Kiss gave a no-holds-barred performance as a former prostitute trying to clean up her act. Films, however, were few and far between.
By this time she was starting to settle in as a pristine musical leading lady. After a 1960 performance as missionary Sarah in "Guys and Dolls," Constance made her Broadway debut in the title role of "Anya" (1965), in which she played the title role of the Russian princess Anastasia. Heralded performances in "Carousel" (1966) and "The Sound of Music" (1967), in which she won the Outer Critic's Circle Award as Maria, not to mention a Broadway revival of "The King and I" opposite Yul Brynner truly put her on the musical map. Her run with Brynner lasted nearly 800 performances. She had earlier played the school teacher Anna off-Broadway opposite Michael Kermoyan in 1972. Other sterling stage appearances included "Kiss Me Kate," "42nd Street," "Oklahoma!," "Camelot" and "Mame." She also starred in the musical "Ari," an adaptation of the Leon Uris novel "Exodus."
TV proved a sturdy medium as well. In her early days, she made singing appearances on Ed Sullivan 's The Ed Sullivan Show and, in dramatic roles, was a frequent glamorous suspect on Perry Mason . As she matured, her sharp, glacial, strikingly handsome features also worked very well for her in unsympathetic aristocratic roles on daytime. Winning regular spots on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing , The Young and the Restless and Sunset Beach , she did her most consistent work on Capitol , in which she played Clarissa McCandless for five seasons. She is currently courting favor with audiences and stealing scenes on a regular basis on General Hospital , in which she plays, at age 72, the inherently wicked Helena Cassadine, a role originated by the legendary Elizabeth Taylor . Recent films have included The Next Karate Kid , The Relic and A Perfect Murder starring Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow , in which she played Paltrow's mother. Constance also enjoyed a resurgence on prime-time TV with a sprinkling of guest parts on L.A. Law , Designing Women , The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air , Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , "Caroline in the City," Frasier , Baywatch , and Providence . She received an Emmy nomination for her role in the single episode drama special on CBS Daytime 90 entitled "Once in Her Life."
Constance has been married since 1974 to one-time actor and former Mexican ambassador John Gavin . It was the second marriage for both. The handsome couple have two children: Cristina and Maria Gavin. Constance also has two children, Michael and Maureen McGrath, from her prior marriage to Panamanian businessman Eugene McGrath. As a result of her current husband's civic work, she became actively involved in a multitude of charities. "Project Connie" not only offered aid to those in need of medical and rehabilitation assistance after the Mexican earthquake of 1985, it has served as an adoption placement agency to hundreds of children from Mexico to El Salvador. She has also involved herself with the Children's Bureau of California, the National Health Foundation, and the Red Cross and the Blue Ribbon of Los Angeles.

Paris Themmen
The former child actor Paris Themmen was born on June 25th, 1959 in Boston, Massachusetts, the self-proclaimed "Hub" of the Universe, to classical musicians. Young Paris first appeared on stage in 1965, while his parents were performing in summer stock in Michigan. After the family returned to New York, NY after the summer season closed, Themmen's mother sought an agent for the tyro actor. His on-screen career began with a TV commercial for bubble bath, the first of over two score TV and radio commercials and voice overs.
On stage in New York City in the late '60s, Themmen appeared in the classic Euripides play "Iphegenia in Aulis" at the Circle in the Square Theatre in the 1967-68 season with Irene Papas , and was a replacement in the long-running Broadway musical "Mame" in 1968, appearing in support of Ann Miller in the title role. In 1970, he appeared in the first version of Roald Dahl 's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", as "Mike Tee Vee" in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory . He subsequently appeared on Broadway in the musical "The Rothschilds", as a replacement in the role of Young Jacob Rothschild, and continued on in the role for the national your.
After entering adolescence, Themmen abandoned his child acting career when he was 14. He went to New York University, where he received his Bacherlor of Fine Arts degree. In business he has worked at a variety of jobs including Real Estate Broker, Walt Disney Imagineer and Financial Advisor and in Los Angeles running commerical casting sessions.

Janet Blair
When it came to bright and polished, they didn't get much spiffier than singer/actress Janet Blair -- perhaps to her detriment in the long haul. At Columbia, she was usually overlooked for the roles that might have tested her dramatic mettle. Nevertheless, she pleased audiences as a pert and perky co-star to a number of bigger stars, ranging from George Raft and Cary Grant to Red Skelton and The Dorsey Brothers .
Of Irish descent, she was born Martha Janet Lafferty in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1921. Raised there in the public school system, she sang in the church choir during her youth and adolescence. The inspiration and talent were evident enough for her to pursue singing as a career by the time she graduated. At age 18, she was a lead vocalist with Hal Kemp 's band at the Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles. While with Kemp's outfit, Janet met and, subsequently, married the band's pianist, Lou Busch , a respected musician, songwriter, and, later, ragtime recording artist.
A Columbia Pictures talent scout caught her behind the microphone and spotted fine potential in the pretty-as-a-picture songstress. The death of Kemp in a car accident in December of 1940 and the band's eventual break-up signaled a life-changing course of events. She signed up with Columbia, for up to $100 a week, and moved to Los Angeles while her husband found work as a studio musician. Janet made an immediate impression in her debut film as the feisty kid sister of Joan Blondell and Binnie Barnes in Three Girls About Town and also dallied about in the movies, Two Yanks in Trinidad and Blondie Goes to College , until her big break in the movies arrived. Star Rosalind Russell made a pitch for Janet to play her co-lead in My Sister Eileen as her naive, starry-eyed younger sister (Eileen), who carried aspirations of being a big-time actress. The film became an instant hit and Janet abruptly moved up into the "love interest" ranks. Usually appearing in a frothy musical or light comedy, she was seeded second, however, to another redhead, Rita Hayworth , when it came to Columbia's dispensing out musical leads. Janet, nevertheless, continued promisingly paired up with George Raft in the mob-oriented tunefest, Broadway ; alongside Don Ameche in the musical, Something to Shout About ; and opposite Cary Grant in the comedy-fantasy, Once Upon a Time , one of his lesser known films. She played second lead to Ms. Hayworth in Tonight and Every Night and was right in her element when asked to co-star with bandleaders Jimmy Dorsey and Tommy Dorsey in their biopic, The Fabulous Dorseys . A rare dramatic role came her way in the Glenn Ford starrer, Gallant Journey , but again she was relegated to playing the stereotyped altruistic wife. In retrospect, the importance of her roles, although performed quite capably, were more supportive and decorative in nature and lacked real bite. By the time the daring-do "B" swashbuckler The Black Arrow rolled out, Columbia had lost interest in its fair maiden and Janet had lost interest in Hollywood.
A new decade brought about a new career direction. Putting together a successful nightclub act, she was spotted by composer Richard Rodgers and made a sparkling name for herself within a short time. Rodgers & Hammerstein's "South Pacific", starring Mary Martin , was the hit of the Broadway season and Janet dutifully took on the lead role of "Ensign Nellie Forbush" when the show went on tour in 1950. She gave a yeoman performance -- over 1,200 in all -- within a three-year period. Following this success, she made her Broadway debut in the musical, "A Girl Can Tell," in 1953. She went on for decades, appearing in such tuneful vehicles as "Anything Goes," "Bells Are Ringing," "Annie Get Your Gun," "Mame," and "Follies."
Her career, however, took second place after marrying second husband, producer/director Nick Mayo in 1953, and raising their two children, Amanda and Andrew. The couple met when he stage-managed "South Pacific" and went on to co-own and operate Valley Music Theatre in Woodland Hills, California, during the mid-1960s. There, she played "Maria" in "The Sound of Music" and "Peter Pan" opposite Vincent Price 's "Dr. Hook," among others. Her second marriage lasted until the late '60s. TV's "Golden Age" proved to be a viable medium for her. A promising series role came to her in 1956 when she replaced Emmy-winning Nanette Fabray as Sid Caesar 's femme co-star on Caesar's Hour but she left the sketch-based comedy show after only one season because she felt stifled and underused. She also returned to films on occasion, appearing opposite her The Fuller Brush Man co-star, Red Skelton , in another of his slapstick vehicles, Public Pigeon No. One ; as Tony Randall 's wife in the domestic comedy, Boys' Night Out , starring Kim Novak ; and in the excellent cult British horror, Burn, Witch, Burn (aka Burn, Witch, Burn) and she was fresh as a daisy, once again, in the antiseptic Disney musical, The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band . After her second divorce, Janet laid off touring in musicals and settled in Hollywood to raise her two teenage children while looking for TV work. She found a steady paycheck paired up with Henry Fonda on the sitcom, The Smith Family , playing another of her patented loyal wives. She also found scattered work on such TV shows as Marcus Welby, M.D. , Switch , Fantasy Island , and The Love Boat . Her last guest showing was on the Murder, She Wrote episode, Who Killed J.B. Fletcher? . Janet died at age 85 in Santa Monica, California, after developing pneumonia.
Carol Lawrence
Singer-actress Carol Lawrence earned widespread stardom quite early in her singing career with the immortal role of Maria in the Broadway musical "West Side Story." However, that success would not parlay into film stardom for Carol as established star Natalie Wood, in spite of the fact that she would need to be vocally dubbed by Marni Nixon, had the requisite clout to play Maria in the classic 1961 film version. Carol, however, endured as a celebrity and marched on from Broadway stage to Broadway stage to the tune of "Subways Are for Sleeping," "Saratoga," "I Do! I Do!" and "Kiss of the Spiderwoman." The dark, vivid beauty also stayed alive in clubs, cabarets, concerts and summer stock stages opposite then-husband, singer Robert Goulet, as a highly popular couple in the 60s. Born Carolina Maria Laraia in 1932, the Chicago-born hopeful started out as a singer/dancer in the chorus lines and made her Broadway debut with the "New Faces of 1952." Though Carol never matched the success brought on by her "West Side Story" role, she managed quite well with numerous TV guest spots and commercials that has welcomed her warm, inviting presence and graceful style. At age 70+, she continues to freshen up her durable talents, most recently on stage in "Amy's View" and the title role of "Mame." Carol has kept busy over the years as a talk show host and author, publishing her biography in 1990 and recently putting out a cook book.
Keram Malicki-Sánchez
Keram Malicki-Sanchez is an actor, filmmaker, musician/composer and also noted new media consultant who has been invited to speak at conferences across North America about the future of tech, social media and the intersection of technology and the arts. He is the creative director of the FIVARS Festival of International Virtualand Augmented Stories and founding organizer of VRTO - Toronto's virtual reality meetup group.
Keram's professional acting debut was in the role of Oliver! in Toronto for which he received widespread acclaim and went on to do roles in Mame and Evita for the same theater. By the age of ten Keram was busy recording radio dramas for the CBC and launched his music career, singing on various records and even recording a full length album at fourteen in South America which was signed to a major label there and had two songs charting on the radio. At fourteen Keram was nominated for a Dora Mavor Moore Award (Canada's Tony) for his performance in an adaptation of Mark Twain's 'The Prince and the Pauper'.
At fifteen, he met Keith White on a sitcom pilot, 'Cutting Loose' and the two formed the band Blue Dog Pict for which Keram was the frontman for seven years. The band released three albums and toured across North America, charting in the top ten on several dozen College radio stations. At seventeen Keram scored a lead role on the Franklin Waterman produced series Catwalk with co-stars Paul Popowich and Neve Campbell .
Keram played the title role of Chris Black in Skin Deep which won the People's Choice award at the Berlin film festival and was also an official selection at the Toronto Film Festival a year later.
In 1992 he founded Constant Change Productions, an independent record label and film production company which produced several videos for the band, one of which received the largest request in MuchMusic history. In 2008 he released his solo acoustic record "Box" followed by "Come to Life" in 2014 which featuring over 30 musicians whose collective resumes include Beck, Coheed and Cambria and Alex Lifeson of RUSH. As a musician, he now performs under the artist name: "Keram."
Known not only as an actor, but as what Lenny Stoute of the Toronto Star calls 'a one man cultural blitzkrieg' Keram's interest in acting, performing music, film scoring, record producing, writing, multimedia design and production and film making continues to provoke his audience, fans 'devout to the point of being cultish' and raise questions.
Janet Carroll
Janet began her stage career, right out of high school, at the legendary Kansas City Starlight Theatre, appearing in many many musicals including: "Hello Dolly", "Guys and Dolls"," Mame", "Gypsy", "South Pacific", "Pajama Game", "Carousel" and many others. Janet continued her stage work in California for many years, starring opposite Cloris Leachman in "A Couple of White Chicks", starred with Lynn Redgrave and John Lithgow in "Lady Windemere's Fan", among other productions. Janet made her Broadway debut in "Little Women", alongside Sutton Foster and Maureen McGovern .
Don Porter
Veteran actor Don Porter started his career on stage and in "B" films in the 40s but would be better remembered for his buttoned-down executives and cheery dads on 50s and 60s TV. Universal Studios signed the handsome, articulate, deep-voiced actor to a contract in 1939 debuting in Mystery in the White Room (1939). He continued on in a rather non-descript fashion as co-star of second-string potboilers such as Night Monster (1942), Abbott and Costello's Who Done It? (1942), Eyes of the Underworld (1943), and, most noticeably, opposite June Lockhart's She-Wolf of London (1947) as her heroic fiance. Seemingly headed toward obscurity, he refocused his career in the 50s with television and took a strategic turn toward light, superficial comedy. He finally hit pay dirt co-starring as Ann Sothern's exasperated boss on "Private Secretary." Their chemistry proved so winning that he segued into her next series "The Ann Sothern Show" (albeit the second season) again as her boss. Although quite adept at drama with his portrayals of spiffy 'stuffed shirt' types whose shady intentions were often disguised by impeccable table manners and a pleasant disposition, Don's forte was still breezy, cheeky comedy and he was most fittingly cast as Sally Field's bewildered and bemused dad on the "Gidget" series. He had already played Gidget's father once before in the 1963 film Gidget Goes to Rome (1963) with Cindy Carol. Don kept quite busy after the series' demise in 1966 with numerous guest roles although such forgettable film fodder as Elvis Presley's mediocre Live a Little, Love a Little (1968) and Lucille Ball's misguided version of Mame (1974) as the stuck-up Mr. Upson didn't improve his lot. With perhaps the exception of the terrific Robert Redford film The Candidate (1972) in which he ably portrayed a martinet Republican incumbant, Don was a highly appealing and durable actor but seldom tested, with most of his roles noted for their lack of dimension. Long married to actress Peggy Converse, who was a few years older than Don, the couple appeared frequently together on stage in such 60s touring productions as "The Best Man," "Any Wednesday" and "Love and Kisses." Porter died in 1997 at age 84.
James Coco
Born in New York City of humble means, character player James Coco was the son of Feliche, an Italian shoemaker, and Ida (Detestes) Coco. Shining shoes as a youngster with his father, his interest in acting occurred early on as a child. At age 17 he toured with a children's theatre troupe for three years portraying Old King Cole and Hans Brinker. Intensive study with acting guru Uta Hagen led to his Broadway debut at age 29 in "Hotel Paradiso" in 1957, but he earned his first acting award, an Obie, for his performance in the 1961 off-Broadway production of "The Moon in Yellow River". He went on to win a second and third Obie for his performances in the plays "Fragments" (1967) and "The Transfiguration of Benno Blimppie" (1977). Dark, hefty and prematurely balding, he proved to be a natural on the comedy stage and in scores of commercials (notably as Willy the plumber in the Drano ads) throughout the 1960s. Other comedy theater highlights included roles in "Auntie Mame," "Everybody Loves Opal," "A Shot in the Dark," "Bell, Book and Candle" and "You Can't Take It With You".
In the late 60s he formed a strong collaboration with playwright Terrence McNally and appeared in an off-Broadway double-bill of his one-act plays (his one-act was entitled "Witness") in 1968, followed by "Here's Where I Belong" a failed 1968 Broadway musical variation of the Steinbeck play "East of Eden" that closed on opening night. Their most notable alliance occurred the following year with the play "Next," which ran more than 700 performances and earned Coco a Drama Desk award. Sixteen years later, and shortly before Coco's death, the two reunited for the 1985 Manhattan Theatre Club production of "It's Only a Play".
Coco also earned kudos for his work in Neil Simon comedies, and "The Last of the Red Hot Lovers" (1969), which was specifically written for him, earned him a Tony Award nomination as Best Actor. The two later joined forces for a Broadway revival of the musical "Little Me" and the hilarious film comedy spoofs Murder by Death and The Cheap Detective , in addition to his moving support role as Marsha Mason 's depressed gay actor/friend in Only When I Laugh , which garnered his sole Oscar nomination.
Achieving stardom first on stage, Coco's other films were a mixed bag with more misses ( Ensign Pulver , Man of La Mancha (as Sancho Panza), The Wild Party , Scavenger Hunt ) than hits ( A New Leaf ). On the TV screen, Coco fronted two short-lived 1970s comedy series, Calucci's Department and The Dumplings , and also appeared in daytime soaps ( The Edge of Night and "The Guiding Light"). Throughout his career he played an amusing number of characters on such sitcoms as Maude and Alice and also played bathos and pathos to great effect, not only winning an Emmy for his dramatic performance on a St. Elsewhere episode but appearing opposite Doris Roberts as the brittle Van Daan couple in the TV version of The Diary of Anne Frank . One of his last TV assignments was a recurring role on the sitcom "Who's The Boss?" in 1986-1987.
In his last years, Coco received attention for his culinary talents and best-selling cookbooks. The James Coco Diet, an educational book which included chapters on menu planning and behavior modification as well as choice recipes), was just one that he promoted on the talk show circuit. It is probably not a coincidence that he often played characters with extreme food issues. Suffering from obesity (5'10", 250 lbs.) for most his adult life, the talented actor died unexpectedly of a heart attack in New York City in 1987 at the age of 56, and was buried in St. Gertrude's Roman Catholic Cemetery in Colonia, New Jersey.
Janet Waldo
Janet Waldo provided the quintessential voice of the swooning, overly dramatic teenager for numerous generations -- from the 1940s swinging babysitters to the 1960s groovy chick. A bouncy, perennially-youthful brunette, she was born in Yakima, Washington, and began entertaining in church plays as a youth. Urged on by her singer mother, she studied at the University of Washington and performed in plays. She was discovered by none other than Paramount star Bing Crosby , when he and his talent scouts conducted a contest and invited her to try out for it, which she won. Crosby next invited Janet (accompanied by her mother) to California and the rest is history.
Janet met a Paramount talent scout that signed her up for small roles in movies, including the Crosby films, Sing, You Sinners and The Star Maker . Unable to completely break out of her bit-part cycle as assorted hat-check girls, receptionists, and telephone operators, she did manage a few co-starring roles in such Tim Holt westerns, such as The Bandit Trail and Land of the Open Range before setting her career sights on radio in 1943. It was Crosby himself who introduced Janet to radio and she fell in love with the medium and its possibilities. As the eternal teen in "Meet Corliss Archer," Janet's voice became a household sound and it was obvious that. her vocal talents would become her biggest moneymaker. She also performed on radio's "One Man's Family," "The Gallant Heart," and "Star Playhouse." She played the cigarette girl on both Red Skelton and Art Linkletter 's programs, and played teenager Emmy Lou for Ozzie Nelson on both his radio and TV shows. In 1952, Janet filmed one classic I Love Lucy episode, The Young Fans playing an extremely lovesick teenaged girl, who fell for Ricky Ricardo, even though she was around 30 years old at the time.
In 1948 Janet married writer-director-producer Robert E. Lee of "Inherit the Wind" and "Auntie Mame" fame. She curtailed her career activities sharply for some time in order to raise her two children. She even turned down the opportunity to return to her popular role of Corliss Archer when the radio series was revamped for TV in 1951, and Lugene Sanders from the "Life of Riley" series took on the part instead. After sporadic appearances on stage, Janet established herself as one of the top female voice artists in the early 1960s when she gave vocal life to hip high schooler Judy Jetson in the prime-time Hanna-Barbera cartoon series The Jetsons , a role that she would go on to play well past the age of 70. Her vocal range was absolutely limitless as she went on to become a well-oiled Hanna-Barbara staple for over three decades, providing hundreds and hundreds of voices, old and young, to both Saturday morning and feature film cartoons. Some of her better known characters include Granny Sweet, Penelope Pitstop, Superman's Lana Lang, the Addams Family's Morticia Addams, the title role in Josie and the Pussycats and Princess on Sandy Frank 's Battle of the Planets . She is a member of the California Artists Radio Theatre (CART) and has performed frequently on the smaller L.A. stages over the years. The woman with a thousand voices is a legend in her field and an octogenarian now, still as busy and perky as ever doing radio shows (one regularly with Alan Young of "Mister Ed" fame and her co-star on "Batte of the Planets"), commercial voice-overs (Electrosol) and personal appearances. She has also written her personal biography.

Bill Hayes
Throughout the 70s and a good part of the 80s, Bill Hayes and his second wife, Emmy-winning Susan Seaforth Hayes , reigned as the Lunt and Fontanne of daytime soaps. Prior to this he had become a noted singer/actor on the Broadway stage and in night clubs. Born William Foster Hayes III in Harvey, Illinois, on June 5, 1925, and raised in the Midwest, his father was a bookseller (for 41 years). He got his talent from his dad who enjoyed singing and local community theater performing on the sly. Bill entered WWII as a naval airman, then studied at De Pauw University, where he met and married first wife Mary. They went on to have five children. He later received his master's degree at Northwestern. Blessed with a sturdy tenor, his interest in a professional career was piqued after happening upon a tour of "Carousel" in 1947. From singing telegrams to barbershop quartets to choir directing to jazz group vocals, Bill persevered musically until earning his first big break on TV. A lead singing/stooge role in Olsen & Johnson's zany burlesque revue "Funzapoppin'" in 1949 led to him joining the pair on their short-lived TV show and, ultimately, his resident crooning on Your Show of Shows starring Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca . In the meantime he also performed in vaudeville and broke into films with a supporting role in Stop, You're Killing Me . Despite a wife and family to support, he left the show on his own volition for the chance to star in a new Broadway musical. "Me and Juliet" opened with moderate success in 1953 and lasted over a year, touring with the show in its aftermath. Bill also happened to record "The Ballad of Davey Crockett," which became a surprise #1 Billboard hit and sold over three million copies. A nightclub and TV-variety fixture in the late 1950s, he later managed to flex his vocal chords in such musicals as "Bye Bye Birdie" (national tour), "Brigadoon," "The Pajama Game" and "George M!" The 1960s were a slow, difficult time for Bill professionally and personally, which culminated in the breakup of his marriage. Luck and talent played a part when he was hired to join the cast of Days of Our Lives playing the role of Doug Williams. The character was originally a louse and con artist, but grew more reputable after his character fell in love with feisty troublemaker Julie Olson, played by Susan Seaforth. Their seesaw romantic relationship became one of daytime's top story lines of the 1970s. Off-screen the couple also ignited sparks and, despite their major age difference (she is 18 years his junior), they married on October 12, 1974. In 1984, after 14 years and two daytime Emmy nominations, he and Susan left the show due to their dwindling status. While Susan went on to join the cast of The Young and the Restless the following year, Bill refocused on his singing by performing on the cabaret circuit and recording a few albums. The couple returned on and off to their soap opera alma mater over the years, but in 1999 they became part of the regular cast again with a stronger story line. Bill is still performing on stage, more recently playing Beauregard in "Mame" and with his wife in productions of "A Christmas Carol," "Love Letters" and "Same Time, Another Year," which is a sequel to "Same Time, Next Year."

Silvia Pinal

Always a smart urban girl, she belongs to the second and most versatile generation of Mexican movie stars of the Golden Era, together with Pedro Infante , Marga López and Silvia Derbez , among others. Her great acting abilities were displayed in her most memorable roles, directed by Luis Buñuel : Viridiana , The Exterminating Angel and Simon of the Desert .

Wesley Addy
Character actor Wesley Addy began his prolific career as a prime player on the classical stage before coming to occasional films and TV in the early 1950s. Known for his intelligent, white-collar demeanor and lean, icy, cultivated menace, the silver-haired performer, who was actually born in Omaha, Nebraska, was often mistaken as British.
Majoring in economics at the University of California in Los Angeles, Wesley switched gears and trained in summer theater on Martha's Vineyard before trekking to New York City to pursue a professional career. In 1935, the actor made his Broadway stage debut with Orson Welles in Archibald Macleish 's "Panic". He continued with roles as both "Marcellus" and "Fortinbras" in Leslie Howard 's production of "Hamlet". Other Shakespearean roles during this early period included "Hotspur" in "Henry IV, Part I", "Benvolio" in "Romeo and Juliet" and "Orsino" in "Twelfth Night". He often performed the Bard in the company of such legendary interpreters as Orson Welles , Laurence Olivier and, more frequently, Maurice Evans .
World War II interrupted Addy's early momentum but he eventually returned to the theatre following his tour of duty and played opposite Katharine Cornell in "Antigone" and "Candida". A continued presence on Broadway, he had strong stage roles in "The Traitor", "Another Part of the Forest", "King Lear" and "The Leading Lady".

Gretchen Wyler
Lovely, sparkling blonde musical actress and dancer Gretchen Wyler was born Gretchen Weinecke in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, the daughter of Louis Gustave Weinecke, a gasoline engineer, and Peggy (nee Highley) Weinecke, on February 15, 1932. She graduated from her home town high school and went on to study dance with June Runyon in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Making her debut with the St. Louis Municipal Opera in 1950 as part of the ballet ensemble, she moved to New York where she found a year-long job as a chorus dancer on Broadway in "Where's Charley?" in 1951. She then played in the chorus of "Guys and Dolls" the following season. In 1955 Gretchen earned the break she was looking for when she won the Broadway role of Janice Dayton in "Silk Stockings" and was the recipient of the ("supporting actress") Outer Critics Circle Award for her provocative, scene-stealing work. Other alluring Broadway roles in musicals followed with Lola in "Damn Yankees" and Rosie in "Bye Bye Birdie". In 1968, she made her London debut in the title role of "Sweet Charity" and stayed with the role for over a year. She has practically run the musical comedy gamut over time appearing in various stock productions, both singing and non-singing, of "Sly Fox" (Drama Desk nomination), "The Gingerbread Lady", "The Man Who Came to Dinner", "Redhead", "Annie Get Your Gun", "Kismet", "Applause", "Born Yesterday", "Call Me Madam", "A Hatful of Rain", "Bus Stop", "Annie", "Can-Can", "Mame", "42nd Street" and the musical version of "Destry Rides Again".
Making her TV debut in 1956 on "The Colgate Comedy Hour", Gretchen appeared occasionally on such light-hearted shows as "Sergeant Bilko" and in the musical variety format, notably with Bob Crosby . Gretchen did not make her film debut until middle-age with The Devil's Brigade starring William Holden , and went on to play Goldie Hawn 's aunt in the film Private Benjamin . She also toured extensively with her own nightclub act, in concerts and with her one-woman show "Broadway Greats and the Songs That Made Them Famous". In later years she guested more and more on TV, including the more recent "Friends" (hilarious as the skin-flint singing widow/hostess who tries to stiff Monica and Phoebe for their catering services at her husband's funeral reception). Outside of some prime-time appearances in "Judging Amy" and "Providence", she has also appeared in such daytime soaps as "Search for Tomorrow" and "Somerset". In 1997 she ended her performing career right where she began -- at the St. Louis Municipal Opera -- playing the irrepressible Dolly Levi.
Away of the limelight, she produced the off-Broadway play "The Ballad of Johnny Pot" in 1971 but, more importantly, dedicated her life's passion to animals as a noted activist. In 1968 she founded a shelter for animals in upstate New York and was on the boards of several humane and wildlife organizations, also sponsoring animal welfare legislation. Divorced since 1968, she had no children but shared her home (of course) with several animals including dogs, cats and horses.

Monica Lewis
For almost two decades, Monica Lewis was the idealized, wholesomely sexy sound and image of apple-pie America, lending a curvaceous, dimpled smile and melodious voice of hope to thousands of U.S. troops through two of the 20th century's greatest wars. She starred on the very first "Ed Sullivan Show" telecast, had numerous hit records including "Put the Blame on Mame", "A Tree in the Meadow", "A Kiss to Build a Dream On", "Autumn Leaves" and "I Wish You Love", and provided the memorable singing voice for the popular cartoon character, "Miss Chiquita Banana".
Monica's course to classic song-styling was set as a child. She was born in Chicago, Illinois, the youngest of three children of musical parents. Her father, Abe, was a symphonic composer and pianist, and her mother, Jessica, sang with the Chicago Opera Company. After the Great Depression forced the Lewis clan to relocate from Chicago to New York City, there was no shortage of sibling rivalry: Monica's sister, Barbara Lewis , established herself as an accomplished concert pianist, while her brother, Marlo Lewis , co-created Ed Sullivan 's landmark television show, The Ed Sullivan Show .
Having studied voice with her mother since a mere toddler, Monica quit junior college at 17 to work as a radio vocalist. In the mid-1940s, she had her own program on WMCA. This and other early airwaves successes led to her debut at Manhattan's legendary Stork Club and subsequent discovery by the "King of Swing", Benny Goodman , who signed her to appear with his popular band. She quickly ascended as a radio vocalist and co-host on programs including "Beat the Band", "The Revere Camera Hour" and "The Chesterfield Show", sharing the microphone with Frank Sinatra . She became one of the country's highest-flying songbirds, working with record labels such as Signature, Decca, Jubilee, Capitol and Verve to create numerous timeless hits and classic albums.
Her TV appearances included Ed Sullivan 's very first broadcast in 1948 and every major variety show opposite legends, including Bob Hope , Danny Thomas and the comedy duo of Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis , with whom she first appeared at New York's Copacabana.
Records and television led to movies and, in 1950, MGM signed Monica to an exclusive multimedia contract. She was groomed in true MGM style - given singing and romantic roles in such films as The Strip with Mickey Rooney , Inside Straight with Barry Sullivan and Excuse My Dust with Red Skelton . She also sang the title song in the Marge Champion and Gower Champion musical, Everything I Have Is Yours , in which she became the only woman other than Marge to ever dance on screen with Gower. Additional appearances followed in Affair with a Stranger , starring Victor Mature and Jean Simmons , and The D.I. with Jack Webb .
Monica eagerly volunteered her talent for the war effort, becoming the darling of U.S. servicemen worldwide through the war bond drive, military radio broadcasts and a 1951 USO tour of South Korea with celebrated entertainer Danny Kaye . Back at home, she delighted the masses as a chart-topping jukebox chanteuse and Burlington Mills hosiery's "Miss Leg-O-Genic". Piel's Light Beer, Camel Cigarettes, Pepsi-Cola and General Electric were among the many other major companies which sold their products with Monica's visage and, for 14 years, she provided the tuneful voice of the animated "Miss Chiquita Banana" in a series of classic cartoon shorts which were shown in movie theaters.
When she married colorful and innovative MCA/Universal Studios production executive Jennings Lang in 1956, she not only became his partner but the mother of his young children: Michael Lang , now a jazz pianist, and Robert, an attorney. Monica and Jennings had a third child together, Rocky Lang , now a noted Hollywood writer, director and producer. She was a featured player in several of her husband's blockbuster Universal movies, including Charley Varrick , Rollercoaster , Airport '77 , The Concorde... Airport '79 , and the Top 100 box-office hit, Earthquake . In the 1980s and 1990s, Monica made a few choice cabaret appearances and recorded several new albums, among them "My Favorite Things", "Monica Lewis Swings Jule Styne" and "Why Did I Choose You?", a tribute to her 40-year marriage to Lang. Monica wrote a photo-filled memoir, "Hollywood Through My Eyes", which is available from Cable Publishing.
Monica Lewis died on June 12, 2015, in Woodland Hills, California.
Kay Thompson
Sleek, effervescent, gregarious and indefatigable only begins to describe the indescribable Kay Thompson -- a one-of-a-kind author, pianist, actress, comedienne, singer, composer, coach, dancer, choreographer, clothing designer, and arguably one of entertainment's most unique and charismatic personalities of the 20th century. Born in Missouri with the uncharismatic name of Catherine L. Fink, she would reinvent herself as Kay Thompson and become a real-life representation of Auntie Mame, living life to the hilt while sharing with that character an unabashed joie de vivre and "never say die" mantra.
The St. Louis born-and-bred celebrity was the second of four born to Austrian immigrant Leo George Thompson, a jeweler, and Hattie Thompson. Nicknamed Kitty by the time she attended Soldan International Studies High School in St. Louis, and (later) Washington University, she began playing the piano at age 4. Deemed a prodigy, she was performing with the St. Louis Symphony by the time she was 16. While this may have been a strong enough focus for some or most, Kay was not to be confined and decided to instead test her singing talents. Singing with local dance bands, she eventually blossomed into a band vocalist with the Tom Coakley and Fred Waring bands. At this juncture, she met and married one of her band's talented trombone players, Jack Jenney , but the marriage ended quickly. She also took to radio and sang alongside the harmony group The Mills Brothers . Eventually she was handed her own CBS-aired show entitled "Kay Thompson and Company". It was short-lived. Kay and the group did make a special appearance in the film Manhattan Merry-Go-Round .
During the mid-to-late 1930s Kay recorded briefly such songs as "You Hit The Spot", "You Let Me Down", "Don't Mention Love To Me" and "Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind", and toward the end of the decade was cast in "Hooray for What", a political revue, but was fired during the pre-Broadway tour. She never returned to the musical stage arena again as a result of that unhappy experience.
Arthur Freed became her ticket to 1940s Hollywood when he hired her as an arranger, coach and composer at MGM Studios. Such noteworthy films that utilized her multiple skills was I Dood It , The Kid from Brooklyn , in which she had a small role, Ziegfeld Follies , The Harvey Girls , Good News , and The Pirate . While vocal coach to such MGM superstars as Judy Garland , Gene Kelly , Lena Horne , Frank Sinatra and June Allyson , Kay forged an extremely tight bond with Garland and was made godmother to first-born, Liza Minnelli . Also during this post-war stage of Kay's life, a second marriage to radio and film writer/producer/director William Spier also came and went. She never had children.
Always on the move, Kay decided to put together her own club act which opened at Ciro's night club in 1947. The singer/comedienne was a sensation with her Coward-esque brand of stylish eccentricity. Her unique, full-throttled blend of sophisticated music, outrageous satire and clever banter made her act a virtual "must see" among the industry's "who's who". Featured with her (in both musical and comedy sketches) was a talented harmony she discovered, the singing Williams Brothers, which featured a young Andy Williams . After a six-year trek the cabaret act was disbanded in the summer of 1953 and Kay spent time designing fashion slacks for long-limbed ladies backed by her clothing line "Kay Thompson Fancy Pants."
The reed-slim, silvery blonde was sadly underused in films, to the detriment of movie lovers alike, appearing in only four films with two of them being specialty cameos. In 1955, however, she nearly stole the thunder from under co-stars Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn as fashion editor Maggie Prescott in the musical classic Funny Face . Her character, inspired by real-life editor Diana Vreeland was expertly showcased in the "Think Pink" number, one of the film's many highlights; Kay was a delight as well in other chic numbers in which she appeared with the stars. While this could have been the start of something big (as a top character player), Kay did not return to films until summoned by goddaughter Liza Minnelli for a featured role in Otto Preminger 's Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon .
In 1958, Kay introduced another new successful side of her -- as a children's author. The best-selling "Eloise" series, which was sparked from Kay's own escapades and adventures, chronicle the tale of a precocious, pixilated 6-year-old who lives at New York's Plaza Hotel and turns the place upside down with her brazen antics. All four books were top sellers: (Eloise (1956); Eloise in Paris (1957); Eloise at Christmastime (1958); and Eloise in Moscow (1959)). A fifth book, Eloise Takes a Bawth, which came from a 1964 manuscript blocked originally for publication, was published in 2002. Kay's most enduring achievement, Eloise, finally made it to the TV screen after her death
In 1962 Kay served as creative consultant and vocal arranger for Judy Garland 's legendary TV special with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin , and kept busy with various nightclub/TV performances of her own until she decided to leave the limelight. It was fashion icon Halston who lured Kay out of her self-imposed retirement for a time in the 1970s in order to stage his runway shows. She eventually moved, however, into Liza Minnelli 's Upper East Side penthouse in New York City and, contrary to her larger-than-life persona, grew quiet and reclusive with the last decade pretty much confined to a wheelchair. She died at the penthouse on July 2, 1998 at age 88.
Dolores Gray
Dabbling in practically every facet of the business during her over six-decade career -- nightclubs, cabaret, radio, recordings, TV, film and Broadway -- sultry, opulent, hard-looking singing star Dolores Gray, distinctive for her sharp, somewhat equine features, lived the high life for most of her time on earth. Born in Chicago in 1924, she began singing in Hollywood supper clubs at age 14 and eventually was discovered by Rudy Vallee , who made her a name on his radio show. From there the larger-than-life talent took to the stage, debuting on Broadway in 1944. In 1947, she gussied up London's post-war theater district when she starred as Annie Oakley in "Annie Get Your Gun." Lucky for her, Ethel Merman refused the tour and Dolores became the toast of the West End for over two years. She also attracted tabloid attention with her extravagant life style, outlandish clothes and 'Auntie Mame'-like joie de vivre. Broadway musicals beckoned following her success abroad and the dusky alto returned to New York, earning raves in the short-lived "Carnival in Flanders" with John Raitt , which won her the Tony award, and "Destry Rides Again" co-starring pre-TV star Andy Griffith , which earned her a Tony nomination. MGM wanted in on the action and signed her. Dolores managed a few scene-grabbing second leads in It's Always Fair Weather starring Gene Kelly , Kismet with Howard Keel and Ann Blyth , The Opposite Sex , starring June Allyson and Joan Collins , which was a somewhat misguided musical version of the classic comedy "The Women," and the chic non-musical Designing Woman with Gregory Peck and Lauren Bacall . And then it was over for Dolores in movies. Hit by the decline of the musical film, she, trooper that she was, found work on TV variety, recorded for Capitol Records and remained a top-of-the-line cabaret act for decades to come. Despite her somewhat outré reputation, Dolores married only once -- to California businessman and race horse owner Andrew Crevolin in 1967. Although the marriage lasted approximately 9 years, they never divorced. In fact, the couple never even formally separated as she was a devout Catholic. She and Andrew would remain close friends until his death in 1992. Dolores passed away a decade later in her Manhattan apartment of a heart attack at age 78 in 2002.
Anne Francine
Anne Francine was best known for her stage portrayal of the flamboyant Vera Charles in "Mame". She played the role--her favorite--both on Broadway and in touring productions.
Her long and successful career began in the nightclubs. She made her professional debut in New York at the elegant Coq Rouge, where a one-night booking turned into a celebrated three-year engagement. Early in her career she made a successful transition from nightclubs to the legitimate stage, performing in both drama and musical comedy. She was featured on Broadway with Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in "The Great Sebastions", with Shirley Booth in "By The Beautiful Sea" and with Maurice Evans in "Tenderloin". She spent two seasons as a member of Ellis Rabb 's acclaimed APA Repertory Company, alternating with Helen Hayes as "Mrs. Candor" in "School For Scandal", joining Rabb and Rosemary Harris in "You Can't Take It With You" as the "Grand Duchess Olga Katrina", and appearing in Jean Anouilh 's "The Flies" under the direction of Vinnette Carroll . In regional theatre she had starred in "Mother Courage", "The Importance Of Being Earnest", "The Skin Of Our Teeth", "Twelfth Night" and "Company". She appeared in films including Federico Fellini 's Juliet of the Spirits , Mike Frankovich 's Stand Up and Be Counted and Savages .

Carrie Nye
Born to play Tennessee Williams , her harsh beauty, caustic humor and throaty tones were unmistakable and reminiscent of a bygone era that once idolized Tallulah Bankhead and Marlene Dietrich . Her old-fashioned stylings were perhaps too theatrical or indulgent to make a noticeable dent on film or TV (such was the case of Bankhead) but perhaps Hollywood was the one who lost out on what could have been a wonderfully flamboyant character actress. In any event, actress Carrie Nye belonged to the stage and in return it embraced her for four decades.
The smoky seductress was born in Mississippi with the highly untheatrical name of Carolyn Nye McGeoy on October 14, 1936 (some sources indicate 1937), the daughter of a banker and a housewife. She began her adult studies at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, but wound up at the Yale School of Drama where she met the equally droll but less acerbic wit Dick Cavett . The couple married in 1964. It was one of those unique, complimentary pairings, like Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft , that withstood the test of time. Cavett was not a comedian then but actively pursuing a legit acting career. Dick and Carrie subsequently went on to perform together in such plays as "Charley's Aunt," "Auntie Mame," "The Brothers Karamazov," "The Skin of Our Teeth" and "Present Laughter" before he altered the course of his career.
Acting professionally from the age of 14, Carrie played all the cherished Southern belle roles (Maggie in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1958), Cherie in "Bus Stop" (1958) and Blanche (at age 23!) in "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1959)) before making her Broadway debut in "A Second String" (based on a novel by Colette) at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in 1960. From there she sunk her teeth into the classics. Notable roles included her title character in "Ondine," Celia in "As You Like It," Lady Macduff (and later Lady Macbeth) in "Macbeth," Cressida in "Troilus and Cressida," Regan in "King Lear," Cleopatra in "Antony and Cleopatra" and Cassandra in "The Trojan Women." On the lighter side, she replaced Betsy von Furstenberg in the popular lightweight comedy "Mary, Mary" and played Cecily Cardew in "The Importance of Being Earnest." In addition, she received a Tony nomination for her work in the musical "Half a Sixpence" in 1965.
She didn't make her film debut until age 30 in The Group , then went on to make only a handful more -- The Seduction of Joe Tynan , Creepshow , Too Scared to Scream and Hello Again . She fared somewhat better in TV-movies, stealing the thunder from under the Richard Burton / Elizabeth Taylor pairing in Divorce His - Divorce Hers , and earning an Emmy nomination for her divine imitation of Bankhead in The Scarlett O'Hara War , which only she could have done true justice.
But for Carrie it was always the theater, particularly regional theater, that took precedence. With a non-concentric and powerful grandeur, she took on a number of lofty roles over the years, including her Eleanor of Acquitaine in "The Lion in Winter," Regina in "The Little Foxes," the title role in "Hedda Gabler" and an encore performance of Blanche DuBois in 1973, this time at age 47. She earned a Drama Desk nomination for "The Man Who Came to Dinner" in 1980 and played alongside Cavett again in a 1985 production of "Nude with Violin." Throughout it all, Carrie was an established presence at the Williamstown Festival appearing from the late 50s on. Such summer productions there included "Design for Living" (1977) and "Clothes for a Summer Hotel (1989), taking her final curtain there in the role of Zelda Fitzgerald. She ended her theatrical reign on a bright note in a musical production of "Mame" (1992).
Carrie pretty much left acting by the mid 1990s. In 2003, however, she took on a villainess role written especially for her on Guiding Light . In 1997, the couple's Long Island home (called Tick Hall) went down in flames. They painstakingly rebuilt an exact replica of the beloved 1883 cottage, which was chronicled in the documentary "From the Ashes: The Life and Times of Tick Hall (2003)".
A heavy smoker, Carrie died of lung cancer at age 69 in her Manhattan home. The couple had no children.
Jan Handzlik
Although he projected both charm and talent as the young "Patrick Dennis" in the stage and film versions of "Auntie Mame," Jan Handzlik ultimately dropped out of acting completely to become a successful lawyer. Long a partner in the nationally recognized law firm of Kirkland and Ellis, he is a specialist in white collar crime, and, in October 2000, was chosen to chair the American Bar Association's National White-Collar Crime Committee. Listed several times in Who's Who in America, he lives in Los Angeles.
Beatrice Lillie
Dubbed "the funniest woman in the world", comedienne Beatrice Lillie was born the daughter of a Canadian government official and grew up in Toronto. She sang in a family trio act with her mother, Lucy, and her piano-playing older sister, Muriel. Times were hard and the ambitious mother eventually took the girls to England to test the waters. In 1914, Bea made her solo debut in London's West End and was an immediate hit with audiences. A valuable marquee player as a droll revue and stage artiste, she skillfully interwove sketches, songs and monologues with parody and witty satire. In 1924, she returned to America and was an instant success on Broadway, thus becoming the toast of two continents. For the next decade, she worked with the top stage headliners of her day, including Gertrude Lawrence , Bert Lahr and Jack Haley . Noël Coward and Cole Porter wrote songs and even shows for her. A top radio and comedy recording artist to boot, Bea's success in films was surprisingly limited, although she did achieve some recognition in such productions as Exit Smiling and Dotor Rhythm . During the Second World War, Bea became a favourite performer with the troops and, in her post-war years, toured with her own show "An Evening with Beatrice Lillie". Her rather eccentric persona worked beautifully on Broadway and, in 1958, she replaced Rosalind Russell in "Auntie Mame". In 1964, she took on the role of "Madame Arcati" in the musical version of "Blithe Spirit", entitled "High Spirits". This was to be her last staged musical. Sadly, her style grew passé and outdated in the Vietnam era, and she quickly faded from view after a movie appearance in Thoroughly Modern Millie . At this point, she had already begun to show early signs of Alzheimer's disease, although she managed to publish her biography in 1973. A year later, Bea suffered the first of two strokes and lived the next decade and a half in virtual seclusion. She died in 1989 at age 94.
Charles Vidor
Hungarian-born Karoly Vidor spent the First World War as a lieutenant in the Austro-Hungarian infantry. Following the armistice, he made his way to Berlin and worked for the German film company Ufa, as editor and assistant director. In 1924, he emigrated to the U.S. and, for several years, earned his living as a singer in Broadway choruses and (at one time) with a Wagnerian troupe. While little detail is extant of this period in his career, it enabled him to accumulate the means with which to finance his own project: an experimental short film entitled The Bridge . On the strength of this, he was signed by MGM to co-direct his first feature film The Mask of Fu Manchu . For the remainder of the decade, Vidor worked with relatively undistinguished material at various studios, notably RKO (1935) and Paramount (1936-37). In 1939, he joined Columbia, where he remained under contract until 1948.
Vidor's career is something of an enigma. Never a particularly prolific filmmaker, his output has been variable. It includes a good-looking, but decidedly stodgy romance, The Swan (starring Grace Kelly in her penultimate screen role); and the interminably dull remake of A Farewell to Arms . On the other side of the ledger is the lavish showbiz biopic of singer Ruth Etting , Love Me or Leave Me , for which Vidor elicited powerhouse performances from his stars Doris Day and James Cagney . Frank Sinatra , also, gave one of his best performances as nightclub entertainer Joe E. Lewis , descending into alcoholism in The Joker Is Wild . Other Vidor standouts are Ladies in Retirement , a gothic Victorian thriller, tautly directed and maintaining its suspense, despite a relatively claustrophobic setting (among the cast, as Lucy the maid, was actress Evelyn Keyes , who became Vidor's third wife in 1944). Finally, two Rita Hayworth vehicles, the breezy musical Cover Girl , and Vidor's principal masterpiece, the archetypal film noir Gilda . This cleverly plotted, morally ambiguous tale of intrigue and ménage-a-trois was one of Columbia's biggest money-earners to date.
Some of the wittier dialogue in "Gilda" was voiced in re-takes, long after primary filming had been completed. The same applies to the two main musical numbers, the show-stopping "Put the Blame on Mame", and "Amado Mio". Yet, under Vidor's direction, all the dramatic and musical elements blended perfectly. The film has an undeniably electric atmosphere, largely due to the chemistry between the three leads. When the same material was later re-worked as Affair in Trinidad (with a bigger budget), that chemistry was notably absent.
In 1948, Vidor fell out with studio boss Harry Cohn , taking him to court for alleged verbal abuse and exploitation. He wanted out of his contract. Having just married Doris Warner, daughter of Warner Brothers president Harry M. Warner , Vidor sensed opportunities in working at a more prestigious studio. Cohn wasn't going to let him go quietly. It was pretty much all over, when actor Steven Geray testified, that he had himself been on the receiving end of invective at the hands of Vidor on the set of "Gilda". Glenn Ford , who thought Vidor opportunistic, then went on the stand, relating, that Cohn routinely used foul language on everyone around him, rather than aiming at any individual in particular. The fact that Vidor was not the easiest man to get along with, became evident during filming of the Liszt biopic Song Without End . Both his stars ( Dirk Bogarde and Capucine ) found him to be ill-tempered and erratic. However, since Vidor died before the film was completed ( George Cukor taking over), other factors may have played a part. In the final analysis, for "Gilda" alone, Charles Vidor deserves a niche in Hollywood heaven.
Robert Allen
As a young man Robert Allen, born Irvine E. Theodore Baehr, learned about horses: he played polo, hunted fox, and rode in the cavalry of of New York Military School, graduating there in 1924. After graduating Dartmouth College in 1929 with a degree in English he worked for a bank which failed in the Depression. Then he flew as a commercial pilot, but that company also folded. His next stop was Hollywood where he quickly landed acting jobs. While he often was cast in the studio's more adult-targeted productions such as The Awful Truth , studio boss Harry Cohn was seeking a suitable replacement for the troublesome (yet wildly popular) Ken Maynard in their more modestly budgeted western unit. Allen's place in film history came in the a half dozen "Bob Allen, Ranger" movies produced in 1936 and 1937. Allen became good friends with his frequent co-star (and sometime movie bad guy), Hal Taliaferro and enjoyed a good working relationship with co-star Tim McCoy . He couldn't sing or play guitar, so when Columbia decided to challenge Gene Autry they went with a new cowboy star, Roy Rogers , and Allen's western career was over. He appeared more than 40 movies and made numerous TV appearances, but he turned primarily to Broadway and Off Broadway for the rest of his acting life. He filled major parts in "Show Boat" and "Kiss Them for Me" and played the nasty Mr. Babcock in "Auntie Mame," playing the part with both Rosalind Russell and Greer Garson . In 1964 he became a real estate broker. He died at age 92 in 1998, survived by daughter Katherine Meyer and son Dr. Theodore Baehr.
Alan Fletcher
Alan Fletcher began his career on the stage at Perth's Hole in the Wall Theatre, before moving to the Perth Theatre Company at the National Theatre, Western Australia, where he worked opposite such great talents as Warren Mitchell , Honor Blackman , Tom Stoppard , Bill Kerr and Tim Brooke-Taylor .
After three years of solid work, he headed to Sydney, where he played his first television role in The Young Doctors , before landing the role that would fully launch him into Australia's lounge rooms - that of "Constable Frank Rossi" on Cop Shop . Various roles in film and television followed, including playing "Martin Blake" on The Love Boat opposite Morgan Fairchild , "Henry Landers" in _Gross Misconduct (1993/I)_ opposite Jimmy Smits and "Frank Harkin" in Mercy Mission: The Rescue of Flight 771 opposite Scott Bakula .
Alan returned to the theater in 1998 with the Melbourne Theatre Company (MTC), with whom he worked with in various lead roles for the next three years. His return to Australian television was honored when he was nominated for an Australian Film Institute (AFI) Award for Best Actor in a Series for his role as Australian Consul, "Michael Clayton" in the Australian series Embassy .
In 1994, Alan took the role of "Dr Karl Kennedy" on Neighbours , a role he plays to the present day. During this time he has also taken to the stage again in "Mame," as well as hosting various television documentaries and lifestyle programs.
Lisa Temple
Lisa grew up playing sports and riding horses in the Midwest, collecting stray cats and dogs along the way. She and her husband (whom she met in college doing an opera) moved to Chicago, where Lisa discovered her love of acting, was cast in numerous independent and students films (from tough police women to killer black widows) and got her SAG card doing a commercial for laundry products! Lisa loves acting in film, but has also spent time on stage in Los Angeles and Chicago. Stage credits include Hillary in the critically-acclaimed "Modern Drama"and Agnes Gooch in "Mame". She co-produced and created the role of Maggie in "Echoes" (written by her husband), and together they mounted her successful solo show called "My Mother's Yard". Other favorite productions include roles in "Frozen", "To Kill A Mockingbird", and "Judgment At Nuremberg", which starred Katharine Ross and Drake Hogestyn.
Charles MacArthur
"Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers out there are starving!" When Patrick Dennis's fictional Auntie Mame uttered this pithy observation, she could have been speaking of Charles MacArthur. Charlie never shied away from the feast, and he certainly never went hungry. Arriving in November 1895 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Charlie was the second youngest of seven children born to stern evangelist William Telfer MacArthur and Georgiana Welsted MacArthur. His early life was dominated by his father's ministry, leading the family to travel cross country wherever the elder MacArthur's calling took them. Charlie spent much of his time during those years hiding in the bathroom -- the only place offering even a modicum of privacy for a member of such a large family -- reading virtually anything he could get his hands on. He developed a passion for the written word that would last him to his dying day. Resisting Reverend MacArthur's insistent urging that his son follow him into the ministry, young Charlie left the family's rural New York home soon after finishing high school. Heading off to the Midwest, he took a reporter's job at The Oak Leaves, a suburban Chicago newspaper owned by two of his older brothers and run by his older sister. His first professional taste of crafting something for others to read whetted his appetite for even more. Intently determined to pursue a calling which for him was as strong as the calling his father had heard, Charlie went to the City News Bureau of Chicago as the first step in his journey toward life as a journalist. Though only 19, the irreverent sense of humor and dislike for mindless authoritarianism for which he would later be so well known was already quite evident in the application he filled out for the job. In the space entitled "Tell us in exactly seventy-five words why you wish to become a reporter," Charlie wrote: "I want to become a reporter more because I like the work than for any other reason. I feel that even if I should branch off in another profession, the experience obtained in getting up on your toes after news would be valuable. These are my reasons. More words would be useless." The excitement of working in brash and brawling pre-1920s Chicago didn't quite satisfy Charlie's hunger for something more, however, and he soon hooked up with General "Black Jack" Pershing, galloping off to Mexico to join in the hunt for the infamous Pancho Villa. When World War I broke out, Charlie joined the Army's 149th Field Artillery, part of the Rainbow Division. During his time in France, he and his battery mate shot down a German plane with nothing more than a machine gun. Later in the war, Charlie sustained a mild shrapnel wound. In 1919 he penned his only book, A Bug's Eye View of the War (later republished in 1929 by Harper Collins as War Bugs) about his unit's adventures and misadventures during some of the most brutal and bloodiest fighting in history. Returning to Chicago just in time for Prohibition, the Roaring 20s, and Al Capone, Charlie became one of Chicago's most well-known and widely read reporters. He authored some of the most enduring pieces ever printed in the pages of the Chicago Tribune and Daily News. His style was inventive, charming, and witty. Readers couldn't get enough. Once, when writing about a dentist accused of sexually molesting his female patients, Charlie chose the headline "Dentist Fills Wrong Cavity". He also wrote several short stories, two of which, "Hang It All" (1921) and "Rope" (1923), were published in H.L. Mencken's The Smart Set magazine. His star continued to rise, and he eventually headed off to the greener pastures of New York City. Once settled in the Big Apple, he began to shift his efforts toward playwrighting. His first true Broadway success was in 1926 with the play "Lulu Belle", written in collaboration with Edward Sheldon . It would later be remade into a 1948 movie starring Dorothy Lamour and George Montgomery . His next play, "Salvation", written in collaboration with Sidney Howard , enjoyed a moderate Broadway run. During the summer of 1927, Charlie and long-time friend and collaborator, Ben Hecht , rented the premises of the Nyack Girl's Academy as a haven from which they could create their own special brand of playwrighting. Helen Hayes (the future Mrs. Charles MacArthur) would tell friends of times when she or Rose Hecht would visit to bring in food or other supplies for their men, and the building would be positively filled with shouts of laughter and merriment. The result of this seclusion was the 1928 Broadway debut of "The Front Page". The phenomenal stage success of "The Front Page" prompted Charlie to head to Hollywood and screenplay work. Having already developed such works as The Girl Said No , Billy the Kid and The Unholy Garden , he hit the jackpot in 1931, first with the movie version of The Front Page (again collaborating with Ben Hecht ), which won Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Director ( Lewis Milestone ), and Best Actor ( Adolphe Menjou ), and then, with the release of The Sin of Madelon Claudet , which netted a 1932 Best Actress Oscar for its star, Helen Hayes . The film also won awards at that year's Venice Film Festival for both its leading lady and its director, Edgar Selwyn . Charlie's screenplay for Rasputin and the Empress , the only movie ever to feature siblings John Barrymore , Ethel Barrymore and Lionel Barrymore together in the same film, gained him his own first Academy Award nomination (in 1934, for Best Original Story). Even though their efforts had turned mostly to filmmaking by this point, it was also during this period that Hecht and MacArthur produced their second smash theatrical effort, "Twentieth Century", which debuted on Broadway in December 1932, and was later made into the well-received 1934 movie starring John Barrymore and Carole Lombard . Unhappy with the machinations of Hollywood's fledgling film industry, however, MacArthur and Hecht decided to set up their own shop in Astoria, New York, producing, writing, directing, and even making uncredited onscreen appearances in a series of films such as The Scoundrel (poking fun at themselves by playing downtrodden patrons of a charity flop house) and Crime Without Passion (in which they portrayed -- what else? -- newspaper reporters). Their work earned much critical acclaim, culminating in the 1936 Best Writing (Original Story) Academy Award for The Scoundrel . Their 1939 collaboration to turn Rudyard Kipling 's epic poem into the movie Gunga Din , starring Cary Grant , Victor McLaglen and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. , was recognized in 1999 by the National Film Registry, and their adaptation of Emily Brontë 's Wuthering Heights garnered the two yet another Academy Award Best Writing (Screenplay) nomination in 1940. That year also saw the remake of "The Front Page" into the popular movie, His Girl Friday , starring Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant . The advent of World War II prompted Charlie to interrupt his writing career and sign on in his country's service once again. He began his second stint of service years as a Major in the Chemical Warfare Service, returning home at the war's conclusion a Lt. Colonel. By now, the father of two children, Mary and James MacArthur , and husband to "The First Lady of the American Theatre", Charlie had amassed a considerable amount of fame in his own right, yet was still looking for something different. Resuming his theatrical and film work, he also took on the duties of editing and publishing the foundering Theatre World magazine, but left after little more than a year, dissatisfied with the politics and constraints of working in a corporate atmosphere. The tragic loss of his 19-year-old daughter to polio in 1949 was a blow from which Charlie would never quite recover. Though he continued to work on screenplays and movie scripts up until his death in 1956, some of which enjoyed a modicum of success, he would never again completely recapture the freewheeling enthusiasm of his earlier days. When his son grew old enough to begin considering a career of his own, his father advised, "Do anything you like, son, but never become a playwright. It's a death worse than fate!" Charles MacArthur left behind a lasting imprint upon both those who knew him personally and those who knew him only through his published works. Supremely disdainful of anything even remotely false or affected, Charlie nevertheless did follow the path his father wished him to take, albeit in his own inimical fashion. His words carried a truth and sincerity few writers have been able to achieve. His unique mix of subtle irony, gentle sarcasm, and poignant pathos reached as deeply into his audience at least as well as any fiery sermon from a pulpit ever could. As Ben Hecht said in the eulogy he delivered at his friend's memorial service (and later expanded upon in his 1957 book, "Charlie: The Improbable Life and Times of Charles MacArthur"), "Charlie was more than a man of talent. He was himself a great piece of writing. His gaiety, wildness and kindness, his love for his bride Helen, and his two children, and for his clan of brothers and sisters -- his wit and his adventures will live a long, long while".

Who directed and starred in the 1968 film ‘The Green Berets’? | The Green Berets (1968) directed by John Wayne • Reviews, film + cast • Letterboxd
I should have just watched this for 2 hours.
Its reputation for being awful stretches before it like a motorway of poo, and justifiably so. I'd heard how this was a shameless propaganda piece many times but I never normally let that sort of thing bother me, so I was just hoping that I would get some decent action scenes out of it. But no.
The thing about The Green Berets is that it's ridiculously boring bearing in mind what kind of film it is. Considering its anti-Viet Cong stance, I was expecting to be treated to John Wayne and the boys gunning down hundreds of VC and maybe coming out…

It's been over 4 years since my one and only viewing of John Wayne's commie -bashing propaganda film from 1968. A film so anti-communist that he even got support from the US Military when he asked for their assistance, this was Wayne airing his own views on the conflict in his typical abrasive manner.
The Green Berets doesn't look quite like your average Vietnam War film.The jungle doesn't look like jungle, and that's because it isn't. This wasn't filmed in South East Asia but in Georgia. Fort Benning to be exact. That's the most obvious problem with the film, alongside a rather slanted view of how things were really progressing for the Yanks over there. There's plenty of action, and…

We all know about those wonderful anti-war films made about America’s participation in the Vietnam War. Classics such as: Apocalypse Now, Deer Hunter and Platoon. But during the most brutal period of the Vietnam war itself, Hollywood icon John Wayne made ”The Green Berets” a Pro-Vietnam war film that were suppose to boost the moral of the American soldiers and ease the harsh public opinion opposing the war. Although it did great at the box-office, it was heavily panned by critics who thought it was a disgrace and presented a false black-and-white reality about the war, far away from the real grotesque images from television.

Review by Richard Doyle ★★
This is often knocked for being a propaganda film. It certainly is. It's decidedly on the side of American intervention in Vietnam and makes no bones about it. I don't think that's automatically a bad thing. Many films made on the other side of this issue are propaganda films in exactly the same sense and they aren't criticized for being so. I don't agree with this film's politics, but I don't have to agree with a film's agenda to be entertained by it (see just about every film Chuck Norris ever made). This is also a ridiculously old fashioned film. It feels like a film made during WWII, and by 1968, that made it a relic. Even films that were…

"A little trick we learned from Charlie, but we don't dip 'em in the same stuff he does."
The pinnacle of absurd war propaganda, nationalistic racism and unironic hyper-masculinity. In related thoughts: This is quite possibly the worst film ever made, not just because it is thematically, ideologically and morally disgusting, not just because the acting, writing and presentation is so unpleasant, but also because it's just so fucking boring. I can barely even focus on this film, my attention keeps wandering because there is nothing going on that is worth watching in the slightest. But hey, there is literally no plot apart from "Durr hurr commies are bad and John Wayne is a tuff heroic patriot 'murrkan!" so this…
Review by Craig Hart ★½
There is something delightfully dopey about "The Green Berets", a jingo-heavy John Wayne picture from the late 1960's about the involvement of American soldiers in Vietnam. We get to witness firsthand their trials and tribulations as they fight it out in the pine forests of southern Georgia, er, I mean, in the jungles of Vietnam, as the film tries desperately to hammer the squared-shaped sensibilities of an older style of war movie into the round hole of its contemporary (at the time) setting. John Wayne is Colonel Mike Kirby, returning to Vietnam to help support a firebase located in enemy territory, with various Wayne company actors in tow like Bruce Cabot and Wayne's son Patrick. George Takei has a supporting…

Which ‘stone’ was removed from London’s Westminster Abbey on Christmas day 1950? | The Green Berets | Film from RadioTimes
Our Score
by Tony Sloman
Most of the films made about the American involvement in Vietnam are highly critical and were produced long after the American withdrawal from that shameful conflict. John Wayne, however, saw Vietnam as a new Alamo, staunch Republican that he was, and both starred in and co-directed this flag-waving action adventure. There's no denying the epic sweep of the Panavision action scenes, but even for Duke fans this is heavy-going, thick-eared nonsense. It's impossible to divorce the movie from the man, and Vietnam was nobody's Alamo. If you close your mind, you could try watching it as a transplanted western, but who can close their mind to the true horrors of such a conflict?
Summary
A US Army colonel heads two squads of crack soldiers on a mission in the jungles of Vietnam, where they have to construct a camp to withstand attack and kidnap an enemy general. Accompanying him is a sceptical reporter, who questions the validity of the war. Military adventure, starring John Wayne, David Janssen, Jim Hutton and Aldo Ray.

In medicine, metritis is the inflammation of which part of the body? | Bacterial Infection (Metritis) of the Uterus in Dogs | petMD
Bacterial Infection (Metritis) of the Uterus in Dogs
Metritis in Dogs
Metritis is inflammation of the endometrium (lining) of the uterus due to a bacterial infection, usually occurring within a week after a dog has given birth. It can also develop after a natural or medical abortion, miscarriage, or after a non-sterile artificial insemination. The bacteria that are most often responsible for infection of the uterus are gram-negative bacteria like Escherichia coli, which often spreads into the blood, causing a blood infection. The infection may lead to sterility, and if left untreated, septic shock, a lethal condition, may follow.
Symptoms and Types
Discharge from the vulva that smells bad; discharge with pus, or pus mixed with blood; discharge that is dark green
Swollen, dough-like abdomen
Dehydration (the skin stays tented for a few seconds when pinched)
Dark red gums
Increased heart rate if the bacterial infection has become systemic
Prolonged delivery, perhaps with a large litter
Obstetric manipulation
Natural or medical abortion, miscarriage
Natural or artificial insemination (rare)
Diagnosis
Your veterinarian will perform a thorough physical exam, including a chemical blood profile, a complete blood count, an electrolyte panel, and a urinalysis. These tests will help your veterinarian to determine whether the bacterial infection has spread to the bloodstream, where the infection might have originated, and how dehydrated your dog is. You will need to give a thorough history of your dog's health, onset of symptoms, and possible incidents that might have precipitated this condition.
Diagnostic tools, like radiograph and ultrasound imaging, will allow your veterinarian to visually examine the interior of the uterus for any retained fetuses, excess fluid accumulation, and/or abnormal amounts of abdominal fluid production due to uterine rupture.
A sample of the vaginal discharge will also be taken for cytologic (microscopic) examination. A culture of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that lives with oxygen, or without oxygen, respectively) will be used for identifying the bacterial populations present in the blood, and a sensitivity of the isolated bacteria will be performed so that the most appropriate antibiotic treatments can be prescribed.
Treatment
Your dog will need to be hospitalized for fluid therapy, and to correct and stabilize any electrolyte imbalances. If the infection has reached sepsis, your dog will also be treated for shock. Your dog will also need to be placed on broad-spectrum antibiotics until the bacterial culture and sensitivity results return from the lab; then, depending on the results of the tests, your veterinarian will switch your dog to the antibiotic best suited for eliminating the bacteria that are causing the infection.
If the metritis is not in an advanced stage, your dog will most likely respond to medical treatment. However, medical treatment does not always prevent the infection from progressing to a generalized abdominal infection and ruptured uterus. If future breeding is not planned, having your dog spayed is the treatment of choice. This solution is especially appropriate when retained fetuses or placentas are present within the uterus, when the uterus has ruptured, or when the uterus is severely infected. Patients suffering from a long-term infection that is not responding to medical treatment may improve after a surgical cleansing of the uterus.

Which 18th Century scientist and politician published the literary work ‘Poor Richard’s Almanack’? | VM179/VM179: Identifying and Treating Uterine Disease in Dairy Cows
Identifying and Treating Uterine Disease in Dairy Cows 1
Klibs N. Galvão, Carlos Risco, and Jose E.P. Santos 2
Introduction
Uterine diseases in dairy cows can be classified as puerperal metritis, clinical metritis, clinical endometritis, and subclinical endometritis (Sheldon et al. 2006). These diseases are highly prevalent in high-producing dairy cows and have been associated with decreased pregnancy per artificial insemination (AI), extended interval to pregnancy, increased culling, and economic losses (Bartlett et al. 1986; Sheldon and Dobson 2004; Gilbert et al. 2005). Metritis affects about 20.0% of lactating dairy cows, with the incidence ranging from 8% to > 40% in some farms (Curtis et al. 1985; Galvão et al. 2009a; Goshen and Shpigel 2006; Hammon et al. 2006; Huzzey et al. 2007). Clinical endometritis also affects about 20.0% of lactating dairy cows, with the prevalence ranging from 5.0% to > 30% in some herds (Galvão et al. 2009a; LeBlanc et al. 2002; McDougall et al. 2007). Subclinical endometritis is the most prevalent of all uterine diseases; it affects ~30% of lactating dairy cows, with the prevalence ranging from 11% to > 70% in some herds (Barlund et al. 2008; Galvão et al. 2009a; Gilbert et al. 2005; Hammon et al. 2006; Kasimanickam et al. 2004).
Retention of fetal membranes is a condition in which the cow fails to release the placenta 12 or 24 hours after calving. Although retention of fetal membranes is not a disease per se, many researchers have tried to treat (systemically or intrauterine) this condition because it is a major risk factor for metritis (Drillich et al. 2006; Goshen and Shpigel 2006; Risco and Hernandez 2003). Although treatment has been found to prevent metritis (Risco and Hernandez 2003), it has not been found to improve fertility or milk yield (Drillich et al. 2006; Goshen and Shpigel 2006; Risco and Hernandez 2003); therefore, it will not be emphasized in this paper. Pyometra is characterized by a pus-filled uterus in the presence of a corpus luteum (CL) and a closed cervix (Sheldon et al. 2006). Pyometra can be considered a subset of endometritis in which cows ovulate in the presence of a contaminated uterus. Common treatment is administration of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α).
Identification
Metritis
Puerperal metritis is characterized by the presence of an abnormally enlarged uterus, a fetid watery red-brownish uterine discharge associated with signs of systemic illness, and fever (> 103oF) within 21 days in milk (DIM). Animals without systemic signs but with an enlarged uterus and a fetid uterine discharge within 21 DIM may be classified as having clinical metritis (Sheldon et al. 2006). Metritis is diagnosed by a complete physical examination of the cow including attitude, hydration status, rectal temperature, and palpation of the uterus per rectum to evaluate uterine discharge. Evaluation of rectal temperature should be performed before palpation per rectum. A Florida study (Benzaquen et al. 2007) observed that a high proportion (~60%) of cows did not have a fever (> 103oF) at the time puerperal metritis was diagnosed, indicating that this condition is not always accompanied by a fever. This finding suggests that diagnosis and treatment consideration for puerperal metritis should include the character of the uterine discharge (fetid or not) and the attitude of the cow, besides measurement of rectal temperature. Cows diagnosed with metritis without a fever were just as likely to later develop clinical endometritis as cows with metritis and a fever. This suggests that metritis without a fever might have the same negative effects on fertility as metritis with a fever (Benzaquen et al. 2007).
Cows diagnosed with metritis (puerperal or clinical) should be evaluated for concurrent metabolic or infectious diseases (ketosis, displaced abomasum, mastitis, pneumonia, etc.) since these conditions are associated (Curtis et al. 1985). Although not performed on a routine basis, vaginal examination can be performed to aid in diagnosis if a cow has a fever of unknown origin and no uterine discharge can be produced after palpation of the uterus per rectum. Care should be taken to wash the vulva with antiseptic solution (e.g., iodine scrub) and to use a clean, well-lubricated palpation sleeve (Williams et al. 2005). Dairies should have a clear standard operating procedure on when to evaluate cows for metritis and how to identify them. Metritis can occur at any time after calving, even after 21 DIM; however, most of the cases (~95%; 709/753) occur in the first 14 DIM with a peak around 5-7 DIM (Figure 1).
Figure 1.
Frequency distribution of metritis incidence by days postpartum in a sample of 753 metritis cases that occurred over a one-year period in dairies in Ohio, New York, and California.
[Click thumbnail to enlarge.]
Because of this concentration in incidence of metritis in the first 14 DIM, and in an effort to target monitoring of cows, different strategies have been proposed by the pharmaceutical industry and by academia to diagnose and manage metritis. Pfizer (Pfizer Animal Health, New York, NY) devised what is called the 100-day contract for health and reproductive management. Part of that program includes daily monitoring of fresh cows in the first 10 DIM. Although monitoring cows in the first 10 DIM would be sufficient to diagnose most of the cows, a substantial proportion (~20%; 140/753) would be missed. At the University of Florida Dairy Research Unit, a combination of targeted monitoring of all cows at 4, 7, and 12 DIM in combination with physical examination of cows with milk deviation of more than 12% or failure to increase milk yield at least 4% (primiparous) or 7% (multiparous) per day in the first 20 DIM have proven very efficacious in diagnosing cows with metritis and metabolic diseases (ketosis and displaced abomasum). Although the system has proven effective, it requires individual daily milk weights. Others have targeted the first 13 (Benzaquen et al. 2007) or 14 DIM (Galvão et al. 2009a) for daily monitoring. Regardless of the monitoring regimen adopted, compliance with the protocol and skill of the evaluator are paramount to the success of the monitoring program.
Endometritis
Clinical endometritis is characterized by the presence of purulent (> 50%) uterine discharge after 21 DIM or mucopurulent (50% pus, 50% mucus) after 26 DIM (Sheldon et al. 2006). Clinical endometritis is usually diagnosed by evaluation of uterine discharge detected in the vagina with the aid of a speculum (LeBlanc et al. 2002), the Metricheck tool (McDougall et al. 2007), or a gloved hand (Williams et al. 2005). When using either one of these methods, care should be taken to clean the vulva, to avoid introduction of contaminants into the vagina, and to use lubrication. When using vaginoscopy, the speculum should be introduced into the vagina up to the level of the external os of the cervix, and inspection of the discharge is performed with the aid of a flashlight. When using the Metricheck tool (Metricheck, Simcro, New Zealand), the device should be introduced into the vagina up to the level of the external os of the cervix and the discharge should be scooped for evaluation after exteriorization of the device. When using a gloved hand, the hand should be introduced into the vagina up to the level of the external os of the cervix and the discharge should be scooped for evaluation after exteriorization of the hand.
In the absence of clinical endometritis, subclinical endometritis is defined by the presence of >18% neutrophils (PMN) in uterine cytology samples collected between 21 and 33 DIM or > 10% PMN between 34 and 47 DIM (Sheldon et al. 2006). Uterine cytology samples can be collected using the cytobrush (Kasimanickam et al. 2004) or the low-volume uterine lavage (Gilbert et al. 2005) technique. For the cytobrush, a Pap smear cytology brush is attached to a metal rod that is fitted through a metal pipe similar in diameter to an insemination pipette (Figure 2). The tool is protected with a plastic sheath protector during insertion into the vagina, and then is exposed for passing through the cervix. At the uterine body, the cytobrush is exposed and the body wall is pressed slightly against the cytobrush while the cytobrush is rolled two or three times. After that, the tool is exteriorized, and the cytobrush is smeared onto a glass slide and air dried before staining using Diff-Quick stain.
Figure 2.

[Click thumbnail to enlarge.]
For the low-volume uterine lavage, an infusion pipette is protected with a sanitary chemise, which is punctured before the pipette is passed though the cervix. At any place in the uterus, 10-20 ml of sterile saline solution is infused, the uterus is then massaged and a portion (≥ 5 ml) is harvested. A folley catheter can also be used to perform a low volume lavage in a manner similar to embryo flushing (Galvão et al. 2009a). After collection, the sample needs to be centrifuged in a conventional or cytospin centrifuge. If using a conventional centrifuge, most of the supernatant needs to be discarded and one drop of the remaining fluid is smeared onto a glass slide. For the cytospin, ~150 µl of the collected sample is loaded in the cytospin container and centrifuged at 700 g for 5 min. Then, slides are air dried and stained using Diff-Quick. After staining, all cells, including epithelial cells but excluding erythrocytes, are counted under the microscope, and the proportion of PMN out of a total of 200 cells is calculated.
Endometritis has been diagnosed by detection of fluid in the uterus using ultrasonography (Kasimanickam et al. 2004); nonetheless, this method was found to be less sensitive than endometrial cytology (Barlund et al. 2008).
Treatment
Metritis
The most common method of treatment is either intrauterine (Galvão et al. 2009a; Goshen and Shpigel 2006; Kasimanickam et al. 2005; LeBlanc et al. 2002; Thurmond et al. 1993) or systemic (Chenault et al. 2004) antibiotic administration. Currently, in the United States, there is no approved antibiotic for intrauterine administration in dairy cows. There are only three approved antibiotics for systemic administration for treatment of metritis in dairy cows: ceftiofur hydrochloride (Excenel®, Pfizer Animal Health, Madison, NJ) and ceftiofur crystalline-free acid (Excede®, Pfizer Animal Health, Madison, NJ), which are broad-spectrum third-generation cephalosporins, and Liquamycin LA-200 (Pfizer Animal Health), a long-acting oxytetracycline. Because of the long withhold time for milk (4 days) and meat (28 days) for Liquamycin, Excenel® (no withold for milk and 3 days for meat) is the treatment of choice. Excede also has no withhold for milk but has a 13 day withhold for meat; therefore, its adoption is still uncertain. The advantage of Excede would be the treatment regimen; two doses 72 h apart compared to daily injection for 5 days for Excenel. The recommended dose for treatment of metritis in postpartum dairy cows using Excenel is 2.2 mg/kg (2 ml/100 lbs) of body weight intramuscularly. The recommended dose for Excede is 6.6 mg/kg (1.5 ml/100lbs) of body weight given in the middle third or the base of the ear ( http://animalhealth.pfizer.com/sites/PAHWeb/US/EN/products/Pages/Excede_Dairy_OLD.aspx ). It is recommended to alternate ears.
Although systemic administration of ceftiofur hydrochloride improves clinical signs of metritis (Chenault et al. 2004), the effects on fertility have not been evaluated. On the other hand, intrauterine treatment with 5 g chlortetracycline twice weekly for 2 weeks prevented the negative effects of metritis on fertility and milk yields in multiparous cows (Goshen and Shpigel 2006); however, this treatment is not approved in the United States and would lead to long milk withdrawals. Assuming that the treatment would cost $10 and milk would be discarded for 21 d, the overall cost would be $199 (60 lbs x 21 x $15.00 cwt = 189 + 10 = $199). Cows that received this treatment regimen produced 1,438 lbs more milk and conceived 29 d sooner; therefore, the return would be $273.70 ((1438/100 x 15) + (29 x $2 per additional day open)), and the net profit would be $74.70.
Endometritis
A formulation containing 500 mg of cephapirin benzathine in 19 g emulsifier (Metricure®, Intervet, Boxmeer, The Netherlands) is approved for treatment of clinical endometritis by intrauterine administration in Canada, Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and other countries around the world. Intrauterine infusion of Metricure® improved reproductive performance of cows with clinical endometritis (LeBlanc et al. 2002). In the same study, treatment with prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) was found to be intermediate. A large clinical trial found that PGF2α did not improve fertility in cows with clinical endometritis (Dubuc et al. 2011). Treatment with Metricure® was also found to improve fertility in cows with a history of retained fetal membranes, stillbirths, or a vulval discharge after 13 DIM (McDougall 2001). Nonetheless, a formulation containing 125 mg of ceftiofur hydrochloride in 10 mL oil-based sterile suspension (Spectramast LC, Pfizer Animal Health, New York, NY) labeled for treatment of clinical mastitis was shown to reduce the bacterial contamination of dairy cows with clinical endometritis; however, it did not improve fertility (Galvão et al. 2009a).
Although there is no approved treatment for subclinical endometritis, Metricure® was found to improve reproductive performance of cows with subclinical endometritis (Kasimanickam et al. 2005). Interestingly, in that study, PGF2α had a similar beneficial effect (Kasimanickam et al. 2005). The benefit from PGF2α administration is believed to arise from induction of estrus in cows having a PGF2α-responsive corpus luteum; the estrus leads to physical expulsion of bacterial contaminants and inflammatory products as well as a possible improvement in the uterine defenses under low progesterone (Kasimanickam et al. 2005). It is generally agreed that a high-progesterone environment suppresses cervical mucus production, myometrial contractility, uterine-gland secretion, and the phagocytic activity of uterine neutrophils (Frank et al. 1983; Hussain 1989; Bondurant 1999), and is therefore permissive to uterine infection. PGF2α is not only luteolytic but also appears to have pro-inflammatory actions that might enhance neutrophil function (Lewis 2004). Because there is increased concern about bacterial acquisition of antibiotic resistance, PGF2α would provide an efficacious method of treatment of endometritis. Nonetheless, later studies found no beneficial effect of PGF2α for treatment of subclinical endometritis (Galvão et al. 2009b; Dubuc et al. 2011); therefore, the combined literature suggests that PGF2α is not an efficacious method to treat subclinical endometritis.
Conclusions
Uterine diseases are prevalent in high-producing dairy cows and require prompt diagnosis and treatment. Metritis can be successfully treated either by systemic or intrauterine antibiotic treatment. Ceftiofur hydrochloride (Excenel®) intramuscularly or cefitofur crystalline-free acid (Excede®) subcutaneously is effective in treating metritis, and oxytetracycline intrauterine is effective in abrogating the negative effects of metritis on milk yield and fertility. Intrauterine administration of cephapirin benzathine (Metricure®) is an effective treatment for clinical and subclinical endometritis, although not approved in the United States. Administration of PGF2α does not seem effective for the treatment of clinical or subclinical endometritis.

Scarborough boy back on track after suffering from rare genetic disorder
Oliver Parnaby gets set to start the train at North Bay Railway
Words & picture by Pete Spence [email protected]
A SCARBOROUGH youngster who suffers from a rare genetic disorder is on track for a bright future thanks to friends and family and North Bay Railway. Oliver Parnaby, five years old, from the Seamer Road area of town was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis type 1 when he was just 18 months old. But after mum Danni Parnaby contacted Scarborough Review Editor Pete Spence to highlight his condition, Pete helped Oliver and family have a smile on their faces with a special train trip thanks
to North Bay Railway. Danni said: “Oliver and the family have been through a lot so it was a lovely thing to do and we are very thankful. The railway gave us a special pass for the season so we can go whenever we want. Oliver absolutely loves trains.” Oliver was born in June 2010 with a straightforward water birth but when he was around six months old parents Danni and Chris noticed spots which were increasing in number so he was taken to the doctors. Danni said: “We were referred to a genetic consultant in Leeds and that was when we discovered what was wrong after tests were carried out. It is a condition where most people who have it can live with few problems, but Oliver developed autistic tendencies too and has had problems with his spine which need operating on. “On June 21 this year we set off to Leeds General Infirmary ready for his operation and nothing could have prepared us for that day. “Thankfully everything went to plan. Oliver spent four days on the HDU, and then two days on the children’s ward following his surgery, before being sent home in a back brace. He has a followup appointment with his surgeon on July 31 but everything seems to be going well and Oliver is coping and recovering fantastically.” For more on Oliver’s special train trip and his condition see page 6.

Summer judging for Air cadets flying high Newby & Scalby in Bloom at award ceremony
Members of Newby & Scalby in Bloom and Yorkshire in Bloom judges get ready for a tour of the villages
Words & pictures by Pete Spence [email protected]
NEWBY & Scalby in Bloom were feeling confident ahead of the summer judging of the Yorkshire in Bloom competition. Two female judges, one from Hutton Cranswick, and the other from Leeds, visited the group before taking a tour around the villages to see the work they had done over the past few months. The group would love to match a previous Silver Gilt award they clinched, but will also be keeping their fingers crossed that they could win the main Gold award for the whole of Yorkshire. Newby & Scalby in Bloom chairman Peter Staveley said: “This is an exciting time of the year as we are judged on the terrific work we do. It is nice to receive some
The new bee and butterfly garden in Scalby village recognition because all the volunteers work so hard to make our villages look the best they can.” Newby & Scalby in Bloom have also created a new bee and butterfly garden at Church Becks in Scalby. Kev Riley, from the group, who has been heavily involved with creating the new garden, said: “It is a lovely little spot in the village and we felt it needed something. “Bees in particular are decreasing in numbers in the UK and there are a lot of these kinds of gardens being created to try and stop that. It is in its infancy but we will be planting more and growing it in the future.” The group had been fundraising for this project with their annual plant sale and the bumper raffle.

see.“It brought back some memories for me because when we were at Barrowcliff school we did sport at Oliver’s Mount and used to walk past Queen Margaret’s as a short-cut. I just remember it being this derelict and burnt-out slightly eerie building, which I knew had been bombed in the Second World War.” The school was destroyed when a German parachute mine landed on the gym on March 18, 1941. Queen Margaret’s was established in Scarborough in 1901 by the Woodard Foundation, an organisation committed to the establishment of boarding schools where teaching would be firmly based on the Christian religion. Following evacuation to Pitlochry during the First World War, and then to Castle Howard during the Second, the school finally moved to Escrick Park, six miles south of York, in 1949, where it still is to this day.
A SCARBOROUGH couple were set to be part of a historical discovery recently after Northern Gas Networks turned up to do some work at the back of their home. Geoffrey, 66, and Brenda Evans, 65, who live in Queen Margaret’s Court in the South Cliff area, were intrigued to see parts of an old Scarborough School come to light as work on the gas works at their home were carried out. Geoffrey explained: “I was just being a bit nosey and having a look at what the workers were doing and they soon came across some old parts of a building. Having grown up in Scarborough I knew that this was the site of Queen Margaret’s school which was destroyed during the Second World War. “The workers managed to retrieve some parts of what seems to be a bathroom or wash room area and it was fascinating to

Ann Harper, Director of Clinical Care Services, is heading for Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, hoping to scale all 5,895m (19,341ft) on a charity trek to boost hospice funds. Ann is no stranger to heady heights. She climbed to the Everest base camp in Nepal in 2013 and also trekked to Machu Picchu in Peru in 2006. Her latest adventure will be her toughest yet when she hopes to climb higher than she has ever been. She is taking on the challenge knowing from previous experience that altitude sickness could make it a tougher still. “The altitude can make you feel really poorly but I’m going prepared for that,” she said. “Altitude sickness can be your biggest challenge – it certainly isn’t always the fittest people who make it to the top.”
Ann has worked at Saint Catherine’s for 28 years and is hoping her challenge will give a summertime boost to the hospice as it celebrates 30 years of care. Ann has covered all her own costs so any sponsorship will go directly to help patients and their families. She sets off for Tanzania later this month and can be sponsored via her page at http://www.justgiving.com/Ann-Harper4

A CHRISTMAS card painted by a Scarborough artist will raise funds for the RNLI. Entitled Home for Christmas, the striking gouache snow-scene depicts Scarborough’s all-weather lifeboat moored in the harbour. Professional artist Marilyn Spence was required to exercise artistic licence as the lifeboat isn’t usually tied up against the
Vincent pier. She was commissioned by the RNLI after a similar image, depicting Whitby lifeboat, became the charity’s second best-selling Christmas card in the country last year. Marilyn, of Northstead, attended Central School then studied at Scarborough Art School, based at what is now the Yorkshire Coast College. The Christmas card is on sale at the temporary lifeboat shop, next to where the new lifeboathouse is being built. A pack of 10 cards costs £3.95. www.marilynspenceartist.co.uk

‘Cold water Kills’ film reveals deadly dangers of swimming in North Yorkshire reservoirs By Krystal Starkey
YORKSHIRE Water and West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue service have created a film to warn people of the dangers of swimming in reservoirs following a series of tragic events over the past 5 years. With water temperatures as low as 12ºC, depths of up to 50m and undercurrents lurking beneath the surface, the Cold Water Kills film highlights that even a short swim could end in tragic consequences. The film is aimed at young people who are most likely to be tempted to swim in reservoirs during the school summer holidays. It was filmed at Ogden reservoir in Halifax and features a hard hitting recreation of a reservoir emergency rescue that ends in tragedy. In the last five years, Yorkshire and Humberside’s four Fire & Rescue Services (WYFRS) have been called out

to around 346 water rescue incidents - 20 of which resulted in deaths. Alastair Harvey, Recreation Advisor at Yorkshire Water, said: “Reservoirs may look tempting to take a swim in but they can be killers and our dramatic film will hopefully raise awareness of these risks amongst young people.” Station Manager Ian Thompson, a Technical Rescue Officer for West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service, said: “Too often in the past people have been drawn to the cooling waters on a hot day, only to find that they are simply not capable of functioning in the low temperatures encountered in the deeper water. Across the UK, there was a total of 381 drownings and water-related deaths in 2013 with over half occurring in inland waters, such as reservoirs, lakes and rivers.

A YEAR of fundraising and many years of ministry in Scarborough came to an end when two Methodist ministers moved on. The Rev Mark Haynes and the Rev Clare Stainsby held a joint farewell service. Mark has been Minister at Westborough Methodist Church for 18 years. Clare, Minister at Northstead,
Wreyfield Drive and Scalby Methodist Churches, is also moving on after 13 years. A highlight of their joint farewell at Queen Street Central Hall was the presentation of big cheques to two charities – Saint Catherine’s Hospice and Christian Aid. The money had been collected during a year of charity fundraising by churches all along the coast. One of the biggest fundraisers was a skydive by Mark's his wife, Ros, who raised £1,910 for the hospice. Money raised through other events, including a Singing Vicars concert and a flower festival, was divided between the two charities. The final total was revealed during the farewell service when Mark presented £7,079 to the hospice and £10,663 to Christian Aid. A funding scheme from the EU will multiply the amount raised by Christian Aid to bring the total donated to specific projects to almost £50,000. The money raised was boosted further by the collection from the service. Carolyn Jackson, Fundraising Manager for Saint Catherine’s, thanked everyone involved. Mark is now moving to Kirkbymoorside with his wife, Ros, who also did an abseil from Ripon Cathedral for Christian Aid as part of the fundraising effort. He is starting a new career with North Yorkshire County Council. Clare is moving to a new circuit in Salford.

Dear Editor Dear Editor
I WOULD like to thank you for publicising our recent Save Scarborough Whitby and Ryedale Mind campaign and say a huge thank you to your readers for their support and donations which helped save us from closure. Our independent charity, which has existed on the Yorkshire Coast for more than 50 years, helps people with a wide range of mental health problems. Back in April we were faced with the heart-wrenching possibility of closing our charity after a £20,000 shortfall left us unable to continue operating into the next financial quarter. But thanks to your publication helping to get our message out to your readers, we received in excess of £25,000 with just hours to spare before a deadline of the end of May. Sadly, mental health charities receive very little support from the public when it comes to donations or people wanting to fundraise for us, despite mental ill-health affecting one in four of us. However, more than ever, people are turning to us as they face problems such as unemployment, debt, housing or relationships which can all have a devastating impact on their mental
health. We have to raise our own money to support people in the local community and we do not receive money from charity shops or national Mind who we are only affiliated to in name. Our 17 staff and army of 60 volunteers support some of the most vulnerable people in your community. We can help people via our Side by Side one to one support service, support groups in Whitby and Scarborough, and our daytime telephone helpline, as well as giving assistance with finance, debt, housing and volunteer opportunities. We would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in helping to form a fundraising committee to help bring in funds on a regular basis and we are also eager to hear from people interested in becoming a member of our board of trustees. Once again, thank you to everyone who supported our appeal. For more details please call me on (01723) 588088 or log on to our website: www.swrmind.org.uk Yours sincerely Sophie Hall Head of Services for Scarborough Whitby and Ryedale Mind

WE would like to say what a great weekend with great weather, great crowd, great atmosphere, great bands, great straw bears, great sound and lighting, great support and a great team we had for Staxtonbury 2015. We, as organisers, could not have wished for things to go so well thanks to everybody who supported the event – it was brilliant! To see hundreds of people dancing to The Kinks up on stage in a field at Staxton on a sunny afternoon. Left a lump in our throats, and for legends such as these guys to say they thought it was brilliant was a big pat on the back for all you people who contributed to make the whole event so colourful and and vibrant. Roll on 2016 when are going to have a challenge to top this year, but we will certainly be giving it a good go. Ray and Mark and the Staxtonbury Team

SCARBOROUGH Studio Group would like to thank everybody who came to support the Magnitude exhibition at the Old Parcels Office, Scarborough Station. They would also like to thank the contributing artists for taking part and their help in the running of the exhibition. Magnitude has been a huge success, showing work of a size not normally seen in this area, by local artists who exhibit nationally and in many cases internationally. The exhibition has created enthusiasm and ideas for using the Old Parcels Office as an Artspace for a variety of exciting and contemporary arts events. Scarborough Studio Group, who have restored the building from it’s at risk state to the stunning building as it now stands, are looking towards the future. Having completed stage one of the project the building can be used for exhibitions and events and Scarborough Studios are currently in discussions

A Postcard from Scarborough by Terry White
BILLOWED clouds of contorted shapes drift slowly across the blue patchwork sky. The lasting remains of a once proud castle stand high and forlorn above the open bay in a stony finger of defiance. Ancient walls weave around the cliffs edge like a twisting stone serpent. While below the cluttered trees and stagnant vegetation, huge boulders lay strewn among the untamed grass as though cast by giant hands. Beyond the Lush green plateau zig zagging paths snake forever downward to the winding driveway, linking the two contrasting bays. Along the footpath of the upper parade people sit on wooden benches staring dreaminly at the languid coast line. Fishing and sailing craft pass each
other in a slow perpetual motion, leaving behind white wisps of foam in the dark green sea. From on high the long wide beach, like a moving Lowry tapestry, thronged in a multitude of shapes and figures. In the distance the babbling estuary and pebbled rocks of Scalby Beck is concealed behind the modern domineering white tent shaped buildings. A kaleidoscope of sights coupled with the demure and quaintness of this tranquil scene, vies in contest wildly with its lively brash sister the South Bay. Though combined, they capture the very essence of a vibrant and relaxed Scarborough on a serene and bustling summers day.

Duke of Edinburgh pupils march triumphantly Words by Pete Spence [email protected]
DESPITE cloudy conditions and threatening rain, the enthusiastic Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award group from George Pindar School, Eastfield, set off from Crosscliffe in Troutsdale on the first day of their Assessment Expedition. The first eight miles took in Saltersgate and the Hole of Horcum, then a stop was made at Levisham for lunch. The delicious ice cream at Levisham Station went down a treat, as did watching the steam trains. The rain managed to hold off for the final climb to Newton on Rawcliffe with

The final six miles were quickly walked on Sunday, the last day of the adventue. Teacher Mrs Abbey said: “This was the final George Pindar School expedition of the year and my admiration goes out to Nathan Beanland, Callum Lumsden, Bradley England, Sam McNeill, Courtney Caglar, Ellie Slight, Ebony Garbutt and Chloe Marshall. They were great company and a credit to D of E and themselves.”

Did aviator Amy Johnson pay a flying visit to Scarborough?
Josh Kermode (left) and Jack Siddons in Greensmith and Thackwray; the photo which possibly shows Amy Johnson on St Nicholas Street in Scarborough SCARBOROUGH coffee shop owner, Jack Siddons, is appealing for information on a photograph taken near his premises which appears to feature legendary Hull aviator Amy Johnson. Jack Siddons, who co-owns Greensmith and Thackwray on St Nicholas Street, Scarborough, with Josh Kermode, is assembling a collection of vintage
photographs of the former ‘Indian and Colonial Outfitters’ which he plans to display in the coffee shop. The picture in question shows a woman who appears to be wearing a flying helmet in the centre of crowds near Greensmith and Thackwray presumably pre-World War Two. It was given to him by regular customer Janet Hastie, a descendant of
the Lobb family, who owned the original shop. Jack says: “Janet told us that she believes the woman is Amy Johnson, and judging by other pictures we’ve found online, it certainly looks like her. “But we can find no reference to her ever visiting Scarborough, although it looks as though she really drew the crowds! We’d love to know for certain if it is her and, if so, when and why she was here.” Hull-born Amy Johnson (1903-1941) was a pioneering English aviator who set many long-distance records during the 1930s. Her death has been the subject of much speculation, but the most likely explanation is that she bailed out as her aircraft crashed into the Thames Estuary. Her body was never recovered. n Anyone who has any information on the Amy Johnson picture can email [email protected]
All the fun of the summer fete
Words and photos by Dave Barry
THERE was fun aplenty when a day-care centre threw open its doors for a summer fete. Opened by local councillor Johnathan Dodd, the annual event at Eastfield House on Eastway, Eastfield, featured games, stalls, a tombola, a bouncy castle, face painting, a barbecue and a raffle. Head of Care Melanie Padgham said everyone had been looking forward to the event. “The summer fete is always one of the highlights of our year, when we get the chance to welcome people from all over
Eastfield and beyond for some good oldfashioned community fun,” Melanie said. Day care sessions at Eastfield House offer an opportunity for visitors to meet friends, try out therapeutic activities, enjoy homecooked, nutritious food and refreshments and all the comforts of home. Visitors can relax and watch TV or a film, play a game, join in organised activities or take part in hobbies and crafts. n Ring 502410 for more information.

Pictured at Sunday’s fundraiser are organisers, left to right, Karen Scotter, Sian Johnson and Lorraine Harding. ORGANISERS raised around £2,000 for Saint Catherine’s Hospice by holding an event at Scarborough’s Ship Inn on Falsgrave. The family friendly event was held in memory of a young cancer victim and featured an auction of boxing memorabilia, a bouncy castle, a BBQ and lots of kids activities. Dawn Scotter was only 43 when she died from breast cancer but her friends have been fundraising ever since to support Saint Catherine’s Hospice. The event kicked off again in the evening with an auction including boxing memorabilia, some donated by Dawn Scotter’s cousin, Paul Ingle, who gave items including an autographed sports vest. A boxing glove signed by Olympic gold medallist Joe Frazier was also up for grabs. The event was organised by Dawn’s sister, Karen, and friends Sian Johnson and Lorraine Harding. They all work together at Sunny’s Café. They have been fundraising for the hospice over the four years since Dawn died. She had support from the Macmillan team employed by the hospice. Sian said the event had been packed. “We’re so pleased and just want to thank everyone who came along to support us,” she said.

TIME TRAVEL
Join us as we journey back in time. No pushing. MARINE DRIVE TooK 11 YEARS To BUILD
BY DAVe BARRY
THE construction of Marine Drive was the biggest and boldest engineering project ever undertaken in Scarborough. It took hundreds of men nearly 11 years to build, linking the two bays. Until then, the castle headland was just a rocky, eroding promontory. Sandside was an untidy jumble of yards and warehouses clustered around the harbour, and Royal Albert Drive finished abruptly near Hairy Bob’s Cave. Many influential voices opposed the perceived extravagance, maintaining that a tunnel through the headland would be the best way to join the two sides of the town. In the 1880s, after years of discussion of the validity of such a grand scheme, a consultant was appointed to conduct a feasibility study. Sir John Coode (1816-92) was a civil engineer specialising in maritime construction and probably the most distinguished harbour engineer of the 19th century, working throughout the British empire. He stated: “The proposal represents no insuperable difficulties in the way of its execution and the question will have to be determined more on financial than on engineering grounds.” Coode assured ratepayers that the 19th century equivalent of the council tax wouldn’t go up by much, estimating that the work would cost £70,000. The sum included £10,000 for the approach leading from Foreshore Road and the projected income to be achieved by levying a toll. The year before the report was published, over 700,000 tickets were collected at the railway station and a quarter of a million people visited the underground aquarium below the Spa footbridge. “If the same number of persons who visited the aquarium in four months passed over the new road only once in a year, and half of them came back again, their tolls would amount to £1,589”. When work began, in 1897, the local authority thought it would take only three years. But they reckoned without the immense and unpredictable power of the sea. Storms and operational problems caused many setbacks. Huge teams of labourers toiled for years with equipment and tools that would be regarded as primitive by today’s standards. They used steam-powered cranes and a railway was constructed to transport plant and heavy materials such as enormous granite blocks. The official laying of the final block, by the mayoress in 1904, was followed, four months later, by a violent storm which caused huge damage to the shoreline road (and washed away the northbay pier). The new road cost £124,700 – 78% more than Coode estimated and was finally declared open on 5 August 1908. It proved extremely popular with promenaders and remains so today; people enjoying the spectacular views and possibly - as today - trying to spot cetaceans in calm water and peregrines nesting on the cliffs. The toll was a penny per person, whether you were on foot, in a car, on a horse or on a motorbike. It was collected at the southern end at a tollhouse which miraculously escaped the municipal fervour to demolish fine old buildings in later decades. In the first year, the toll brought in £1,892. It was suspended during the Second World War. After the war, the vehicle toll was resumed but abolished in 1950. Marine Drive has been damaged, repaired and altered many times over the years. Among the more controversial changes was the replacement of the original iron railings with a concrete wall. Until then, cars driven too quickly, often by inexperienced boy racers, would crash through the barrier onto the rocks below. In the 1990s, Yorkshire Water constructed a pumping station on Marine Drive to carry the town’s sewage to a treatment plant disguised as a farm, on the cliffs north of Scalby Mills. The pumping station, which has a big storm overflow chamber, was recently enlarged. In 2003 and 2004, an armoured revetment using large concrete accropodes and lumps of Norwegian granite reinforced Marine Drive. It was deemed to be the most cost-effective and visually acceptable solution for Scarborough’s sea defences.

SCARBOROUGH Art Society is to hold its annual open-air sales exhibition from Saturday 15 August until Sunday 6 September. It will be in the ‘sunken gardens’ at the top of St Nicholas Cliff, near the Royal Hotel. The society’s roots go back to an art school once judged the second best in the country. Scarborough Art School was run for 35 years, until his death in 1917, by Albert Strange, an artist and yacht designer. Members, some of whom exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, met in the library. Mr Strange organised sketching outings which eventually led to a sketching club being formed in 1929. The club was renamed Scarborough Art Society in 1937. Members met in a first-floor room above Boothby’s garage on the corner of Vernon Road. The site is now occupied by Premier Inn. The art school was bombed during WW2. Tutors and pupils gritted teeth and continued to sketch outdoors but limited their artistic endeavours to each other’s
gardens and once staged an exhibition in an attic. In 1959, Scarborough Corporation asked the society to hold twice-a-year exhibitions in the sunken gardens. In recent years the springtime outing was scrapped due to the unpredictability of the weather. The remaining sunken garden exhibition takes place during summer. The rest of the year is spent at Queen Street Methodist Church, with monthly demonstrations by professionals. Yorkshire Coast College and its art and design department at Westwood are also direct descendants of the art school. A joint exhibition with Westwood at Scarborough Art Gallery is being planned for January 2016, thus continuing a linked history spanning a century. Barrie Petterson, the society’s publicity officer, hopes exhibition sales will be healthy and that membership increases. n For more details, visit www.scarboroughartsociety.co.uk or ring 361117 or 377299.
Race along to charity event at the Commercial by Pete Spence [email protected]
A CHARITY race night in aid of Scarborough Whitby and Ryedale Mind will take place at the Commercial on Falsgrave on Friday August 14. The race night is being organised by former Mayor of the Borough of Scarborough, Pat Marsburg and Commercial landlady, Kay Youngson. The fun gets under way at 7.30pm and stakes are just £1 per horse.
BRIGHT sunshine boosted attendance at the Big Gig at Woodend in Scarborough. Scores of adults and children turned out for the annual picnic organised by the town branch of the human-rights group Amnesty International. The first and last of many performers playing for free was DJ Mister Tooley, fulfilling a pledge made on Facebook: “As the government are out to scrap the Human Rights Act, I'm going to include a bunch of records themed on freedom, liberty, civil rights and social justice in my sets.” Next came a quintet comprised of Mike Gordon, who chairs the local branch of Amnesty and compered the event, on keyboards, Bob Walker on bass, Ian chalk on trumpet, Tom Mellor of Wold Top Brewery on guitar and Tom Townsend on drums. Led by Mark Gordon on keyboards, most of the 24-voice SJT Funky Choir turned out to sing songs like Blackbird, Better Every Day, Rolling on a River, Crazy Love, I Say a Little Prayer, Uprising, You Can Call Me Al, etc. They were followed by the SJT Youth Choir and the Den houseband, featuring Tom Townsend, Rowan Oliver, Nick
Tom Townsend and daughter Thea. (To order these photos, please ring 353597). Boyes and Mark Gordon. If Tom was any more laid back he'd fall over and it was lovely to see his young daughter spot her daddy and toddle across to say hello, mid-set. Playing guitar and vibraslap, he kicked off with BB King then sauntered through Sweet Home Chicago and on to Muddy Waters, Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison and others, each as mellow as the next. A raffle raised £350.
Fairy garden enchants children – and adults
Hayley Collier loves the fairy garden
Words and photos by Dave Barry
A MAGICAL fairy garden has appeared at the bottom of a felled tree on the former railway line at Cloughton. Miniature figures, flowers, fences, furniture, ladders and a wheelbarrow full of tiny pumpkins nestle among the exposed roots of the tree, which looks as if it may have blown over in a strong wind. Needless to say, the fairy garden has proved popular among children – but adults are just as enchanted. It was created by Marianne Pratt after telling her daughter Willow, 2, that fairies live in the tree, while walking their dog on the path. Marianne’s creation has been embellished by others. The fairy garden, near the Station café,
Fairy sign has a fairy postbox; any correspondence containing an address is replied to by the fairies. Hayley Collier, 6, and her brother Je, 4, who attend Newby & Scalby Primary School, were captivated.

Tales from cooler water 18 - Scarborough Review, August - Issue 24
by Steve Crawford
Well, allegedly summer is here in all its glory. The swifts are sailing up above, whales have been spotted off the Marine Drive, and the soporific drone of the insects lull us happily to thoughts of peace and tranquillity. So where is the sunshine? This year the jet stream, the high altitude winds that drive our weather, is fluctuating from north to south, so one week or so of settled weather is followed by a shift to cooler weather. It seems even us hardened East Coasters are feeling the bite of the unpredictable weather. One downside is that the heavy rain has affected water quality on some days. Be aware that after heavy rain it is a good idea to check SAS’s ‘safer seas’ service app for real time data, alternatively check Fluid Concept Surf Shop page on Facebook for local info, just to check before you take the plunge. A huge thanks to everyone who came to the Surfers Against Sewage / Barefoot Wine beach clean on 18 July. We had a cracking afternoon thanks to Jack and Brogan from SAS and Billy from Barefoot
wine who came all the way from way down South to organise and educate us at the event. 64 people came down to help and the weirdest find was an unidentified tooth, with the root still attached. The event was part of a national collaboration between SAS and Barefoot Wine to highlight the problems of litter on our beaches. On that note, something rather special happened in Newquay this month. Prince Charles met with SAS and other ocean charities as part of Ocean Plastics Awareness Day. The idea is to seek alternatives and solutions to the ever growing problem of marine litter. What we see on the beaches is really the teeniest tip of the iceberg and the real bulk is under the surface, out at sea. This event aimed to get companies, people and government involved and to start becoming part of the solution. One great example is Chicago the city decided to put a tax of 5c on each plastic bottle of water sold and put the money towards public water projects. So it raised......$38,000,000! Think on that.

TWO Scarborough lifeboat crew members are raising funds for the RNLI by competing in the Great North Run. Kyle Patel and Christie Milner will run 13.1 miles from Newcastle to South Shields on Sunday 13 September. Kyle, an executive chef at a big hotel, has been training for about a year and this will be his first half-marathon. Christie is a senior lifeguard and part of the RNLI’s community engagement team, with an educational role, visiting schools, etc. Her training involves the beach boot camp. Lifeboat operations manager John Senior said: “This is a really tough challenge and it’s great to see Kyle and Christie taking it on. So from those left behind, good luck and go like the wind!” * To sponsor Kyle and Christie, go to www. justgiving.com/Kyle-Patel and www.justgiving.com/Xti-Milner or make a donation at Scarborough shop, next to the building site where the new lifeboathouse is going up.
A GROUP of 30 Scarborough walkers have successfully completed the gruelling Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to raise around £3500 for a number of local and national charities. Yorkshire Coast Homes Health and Safety Manager Andy Turner and Assistant Director of Communities Sarah Bird hatched the idea of inviting colleagues and friends to put together three teams to tackle the 24 mile hike, which takes in the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. The Yorkshire Coast Homes, Sainsbury’s and Yorkshire Coast Radio teams braved high winds and wintry showers to complete the course, which includes almost 1600 metres of climbs and descents, with the fastest walkers reaching the finish in nine and a half hours. All funds raised will go to the Yorkshire Coast Homes Staff Charity Fund, which
The Team Yorkshire Coast Homes members at the start. has raised and distributed over £20,000 for local and national charities over the last two years. Joint event organiser Sarah Bird said, “We thought it would be a great team challenge and something a little bit different to what we have done previously to raise funds for the staff charity. It was also an excellent opportunity to get some of the partners we work with involved too.”

Springhead stages Mad Hatter’s tea party Words and main photo by Dave Barry
A SPECIALIST school in Scarborough has staged a Mad Hatter’s tea party. Sixth-form pupils at Springhead created a sculpture exhibition with an Alice in Wonderland theme, to celebrate the story’s 150th anniversary. The sculptures were made from a variety of media including recycled materials. Teacher Ginny Forrest said: “Both sixthform classes have been working hard on individual pieces since the beginning of term. It has been a wonderful experience for the pupils - many of whom have worked independently to create some lovely works of art”. The exhibition has been seen at St James’s Church and the Customer First centre at the town hall. Teacher Sara Pickering added: “It was so successful that it seemed such a shame to start dismantling all these amazing sculptures, which range from a giant white rabbit to tissue-paper rose trees.
We want the exhibition to reach a wider audience and are looking for a new venue or local business to display the work.” The exhibition has drawn high praise from visitors. Comments include: “Superb exhibition, lovely to see all the splendid work by Springhead students. Well done guys!” And: “A fantastic display – the amount of skill and creativity from all the artists is some of the best work I have ever seen”. In 2014, an Ofsted report described Springhead as an “outstanding” specialist school for cognition and learning for pupils aged between 2 and 19. The school welcomes new students aged 16 into its sixth form. They follow a balanced and varied three-year course of study which helps prepare them for the next phase of their lives. This includes further development of their maths, English and ICT skills, alongside developing independence, creativity and sport with a particular
focus on vocational studies. Head Teacher Debbie Wilson said: “What our students accomplish continually amazes me. They have been pleased and proud of their achievements, and they have used their skills and imagination to produce this wonderful exhibition. Even the British Museum has overlooked the 150th anniversary of the story of Alice in Wonderland, and has sent its display to New York! Hopefully our exhibition will inspire a new generation of children to read the story”.

YCH apprenticeship YMCA set to sizzle throughout the opens doors for Micha summer

Event organiser, former YCH apprentice Micha Stewart (pictured right of YCH Mascot Captain Keyple) with all the teams that took part in the YCH Sports Funday to raise funds for SWR Mind
19-YEAR-OLD Micha Stewart was unemployed and searching for work when she came across the Business Administration apprenticeship opportunities at Yorkshire Coast Homes (YCH). After a challenging interview process, Micha learned that she was one of five new apprentices that had been selected from almost 50 original applicants. Micha explained that she had gained so much from her YCH apprenticeship placement, such as getting used to working in an office environment and learning brand new skills. She said: ”Diversity is very important at YCH and apprentices are made to feel like equals. I loved that YCH hold many Community Days throughout the year, offering staff members a chance to break off from their everyday duties to make a difference in the local community. My own role within the YCH Community Involvement Team involved a lot of event planning, creativity and interaction with both tenants and the wider community – I really enjoyed it.” Micha seized the opportunity to show her initiative
at YCH and she even organised her own fundraising event. She added: “When I heard that Scarborough and Ryedale MIND needed more funding to keep their much needed service going I decided to plan an event to raise money. I organised a Sports Fun Day for staff and altogether we ended up raising a total of £1000.” Micha has now passed her Level 2 Business Administration NVQ and completed her 12 month apprenticeship at YCH. She has also successfully gained employment and is enjoying her new role. “I am so happy that I have kept my foot in the door and managed to secure a role at YCH’s new social enterprise project, the Bistro At The SJT. I am now in charge of the Coffee At The SJT takeaway café and I am really enjoying this new challenge. I hope to work for YCH for many years to come and I would definitely encourage anybody thinking about doing an apprenticeship to take the opportunity, as it has certainly opened many doors for me.”
THE School holidays may have kicked in, but at the Scarborough YMCA, activities will not be stopping, or even slowing down. The YMCA's town centre location will remain very much open over the next few weeks, with the Youth Club continuing to run on Thursday and Friday evenings throughout. Dave Hammond Even the high octane basketball club that runs on Tuesday nights will not be stopping, whatever the temperature reaches outside. With such a superb facility at the heart of the town, youth worker Dave Hammond is keen that the YMCA building gets full usage over the warm summer months. "I know a lot of activities drop off during the summer, often because of holidays, which result in falling numbers of attendees, but we want to keep our facilities going, so that if any young people are at a loose end, they can come down here in the evenings," said Dave. Even though the regular basketball season has finished, the members of the club said they wanted to keep training through the summer, so coach Martin Roberts will be in the house for the duration. Likewise the gym and games facilities that young people are taking up in greater numbers will also be available. "We have had a slow start to our Youth Club, but gradually more and more young people are coming in as word gets around," said Dave. "The hall is there to be used and once we drag out some of the equipment, like the table tennis set and crash mats, youngsters are having a great time. With a refreshment bar in the building as well, there is something for everybody." n For more information regarding activities ring 01724 374227.

Nursery enjoys safety workshop with RNLI Applications open for Scarborough UTC By Krystal Starkey
By Krystal Starkey
LIFEGUARDS from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution ran an interactive workshop at Green Hedges nursery about the importance of beach and sun safety. Whilst the lifeguards in Yorkshire run an annual programme called ‘Hit the Surf ’ for Yorkshire children aged between eight and eleven this is the first time that they have run a workshop for nursery aged children. Carol Morley, Green Hedges nursery manager, said: “ We were delighted that the Royal National Lifeboat Institution accepted our invitation to spend time with our children, and are very proud to be the first nursery to engage in this way. We feel that it is very important that our children are given opportunities to experience visits and understand how to stay safe on the beach, in the sun, and in the sea.” RNLI lifeguard supervisor, James Turner, talked to the children about safety and played a range of games with them. The children also had the opportunity to engage with the flags, try on the lifeguard beach equipment and look at an operational truck.
SCARBOROUGH University Technical College in Scarborough is advising students to apply early amid growing interest. The college is set to open in September 2016, following a significant government investment programme. The industry-orientated school will deliver courses to 14-18 year olds with The University of Hull as the lead education partner. The UTC will also be supported by international business such as McCain, Unison Ltd, Scarborough Borough Council, Castle, Dale Power Solutions and Deep Sea Electronics Tim Englefield, Principal Designate, said: “Our young people will learn using a modern curriculum blending traditional GCSE and A Level subjects, such as Maths, English and Science, alongside Engineering Technical qualifications. “Engineering, design and control careers are varied, in demand, with great potential and the perfect option for both girls and boys who have a desire to solve problems, use creative and investigative thought processes, and become inventors and innovators.” Applications to be part of the September 2016 intake must be made by 31st January 2016. There are limited places with only 200 openings. Students that live in Whitby, Malton, Bridlington, Filey, Pickering, Driffield, Scarborough and surrounding areas can apply. The building for Scarborough UTC will be part of a £45 million combined sports and education campus approved by the Scarborough Planning Committee. Students will be able to take advantage of the Sports Village and football ground, which will be situated on the old Weaponness Park and Ride site, close to the centre of Scarborough. n Students can find more information and apply at the newly developed Scarborough UTC website www.scarboroughutc.co.uk, where they can also download a prospectus.
CHILDCARE opTIoNS Each child is unique and when it comes to choosing childcare, you want to make the right decision. Here’s a brief glance at the different types of care available. NURSERY SCHOOLS
CHILDMINDERS Childminders are usually selfemployed and Ofsted-certified. They tend to work from their own homes. As the number of children a childminder can care for at any one time is limited to six, under eight years of age, this might be a good choice for kids that like smaller groups and homely settings. Also childminders can work at irregular hours, so if your job is outside of the standard 9am-5pm this could be the option for you.
Nursery schools offer full or half day care for children aged 3-5. Many are state-run, which means they will be free, but private Nursery Schools will often charge per term. Find out by speaking to the school you're interested in.
PLAYGROUPS Often organised by community volunteers and other parents, these groups place emphasis on play and social interaction, allowing your child to get hands-on with different toys and activities. They can run for just a few hours during term time and can be great as irregular childcare.
DAY NURSERIES Day nurseries are popular as they offer all day care for people who work the regular 9-5. Usually day
nurseries have plenty of staff so they can look after children of a range of ages. Day nursery can sometimes be expensive so it’s worth enquiring first. Before and after school clubs Often run by schools themselves, they offer a chance for children aged 3 - 14, to catch up on homework and play together. Some schools even have dedicated breakfast clubs to set your child up for the day.
NANNIES AND AU-PAIRS If you’re looking for one-on-one care in your own home, then a nanny or an au-pair might be the right choice. This can be great for the child as they get a lot of attention and build a strong bond with their carer, but obviously prices can be very high.

SCARBOROUGH Athletic Football Club has done a deal with North Yorkshire-based business Derwent Training Association to sponsor the under-18 team, and in return apprentices will be given reduced admission to Athletic's home games. Scarborough Athletic Football Club and Derwent Training Association were introduced by Third Energy who has a strong relationship with both organisations: Derwent supplies apprentices to Third Energy; and Third Energy recently renewed their sponsorship of Athletic’s shirts which has been running for the last three years. Boro joint-manager Bryan Hughes fully supports this new, cut-price match day experience for apprentices. He said:“As a community-focused club, we are delighted to partner with Derwent Training Association. We share the same desire to raise training and aspiration amongst local youngsters. Hopefully the enthusiasm we show on the pitch will be mirrored in the trainees and vice-versa.” Derwent Training Association provides industry-led training in partnership with employers and other providers, including Third Energy. Based in purpose-built facilities in Malton, Derwent is funded by the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) and is a Centre of Vocational Excellence and OFSTED grade II education provider. Brokering the deal also led to Derwent sponsoring Scarborough Athletic's Under 18s. John Brockett, general manager said: “What we share with Scarborough Athletic is a desire to enable young people to achieve their maximum potential and encourage them to stay in the area and contribute to the local economy.” Third Energy facilitated the arrangement as part of its commitment to developing young people in the community. In
From left, Nick Finch, John Brockett (General Manager from DTA) and Shaun Zablocki, (Operations Support Manager from Third Energy) addition to the energy company providing skilled jobs in the area, including apprenticeships, it also encourages its people to play their part of local life. Shaun Zablocki, Operations Support Manager at Third Energy, explained: "Derwent Training Association provides us with apprentices and so it makes perfect sense for us to support all of the young people currently serving apprenticeships by negotiating a good deal for them to attend football.”
Open day success for Coventry University Scarborough Campus
Professor Craig Gaskell (centre) with Danielle Hatton and Bobbie Moorhouse amongst a sand sculpture showing a desk, seat and huge University scroll created by Sand In Your Eye on South Bay beach for the open event THE first major open event for the new Coventry University Scarborough Campus has been hailed as a great success by the organisers. The open day and launch of the new courses at Scarborough Spa attracted hundreds of people and the University received more than 100 serious enquiries – with around 20 signing up for courses on the spot. Professor Craig Gaskell, Provost of Coventry University Scarborough Campus, said: “We are delighted with the numbers and mix of people who
came to see what we are offering. The message that we are coming to town and are bringing a new way of learning has certainly hit home and been very well received.” Based upon the high-quality and low-cost career focused model of higher education pioneered in Coventry, the new university aims to address the employment and skills needs of the Yorkshire Coast as well as attracting students from the wider Yorkshire region and beyond. Courses will be delivered during the first academic year of 2015/16 from landmark venues in Scarborough ahead of the new £14 million purpose-built university campus aimed to open in September 2016, as part of the planned new sports and education facility on the former Weaponness park and ride site in the town. Applications through UCAS are now being taken for courses available from this September including management and leadership, health, childhood development, accounting, law and policing.

STARS shine brightly at top awards ceremony by Pete Spence [email protected]
Enjoying the big night at the STARS awards ceremony
THE inaugural STARS ceremony which celebrated the success of apprentices in Scarborough and surrounding areas was a resounding success. The event was held at the Royal Hotel in Scarborough and was attended by the Mayor of Scarborough Cllr Tom Fox and the Lady Mayoress Ros Fox. The event had the support of Yorkshire Coast Homes, National Apprenticeship Service, Scarborough Borough Council, YH Training Services, Dalby Offshore, Yorkshire Coast College and
such a high-profile wedding, and I was very proud to be a part of the Interflora team. When I was asked to do it I was not even told who it was for at first as it was all very hush-hush due to the deal with Hello Magazine.” The ceremony between the two TV stars was held at St Mary’s Church in Bury St Edmunds. Beautiful bride Michelle carried a white hydrangea and double lisianthus bridal bouquet complete with diamanté and pearl pins, whilst groom Mark chose to wear three heads of white double lisianthus in his buttonhole, along with brother and best man Joshua Wright. A total of 22 12ft flower trees featuring lanterns lined the walkway of the chapel aisle, combining white hydrangeas, roses, delphiniums, bloom chrysanthemums, carnations and lilies. Following the ceremony, the newlyweds and guests moved to nearby Hengrave Hall for the wedding breakfast and reception. Kate added: “The colour scheme and choice of delicate flowers combined with green ferns and moss created a beautiful floral backdrop for the wedding. It was a one off experience for me and I doubt I will get the opportunity to experience anything similar. It was a wonderful experience.”

Protect your shed from thieves this summer By Krystal Starkey
SCARBOROUGH’s Community Impact Team is warning residents to keep sheds secure following a number of burglaries in Eastfield. Statistically, thieves are more likely to target sheds, outbuildings and garages than homes. Scarborough Borough Council are giving away free UV pens, which residents can use to mark more expensive property with their house number and postcode. They are available from the Customer First centre on St Nicholas Street, though supplies are limited. The multi-agency Community Impact Team, part of the borough’s Safer Communities Partnership, also wants residents to take other precautions, including: • • •
Putting away any equipment that could be used to help a criminal break in, such as a spade or trowel Installing outside lighting, even battery powered lights or solar lights Fitting a mortise lock or padlock to sheds and outbuildings that are not secure
Sgt Chris Gosling from North Yorkshire Police said: “Making life more difficult for the criminal, to keep them out of your home or outbuildings, really needn’t be as difficult or costly as you might think. “If you need crime prevention advice or have other questions, our local police community support officers would be more than happy to come out and speak to you.”

The weeping elm in Dean Road
Words and photos by Dave Barry
A LONG campaign to save one of Scarborough’s favourite trees has taken a leap forward. A temporary tree-preservation order (TPO) has been granted for the weeping-wych elm in Dean Road. The tree, thought to be one of the most attractive in the town, came under threat when Tesco obtained planning permission for a large supermarket. The retail giant wanted to build another supermarket on a large site on both sides of Trafalgar Street West, which would have had to close. A four-year, grass-roots battle by Scarborough Town Against Tesco Store (Stats) resulted in a public inquiry into the proposed road closure and was followed by the withdrawal of the controversial Tesco plan. In 2013, David Alderman of the Tree Register UK, travelled from Bedfordshire to Yorkshire to inspect the tree. He said it was the largest of its kind in Yorkshire and the sixth largest in England. It is thought to have been planted when a workhouse opened in 1859. Mr Alderman added it to the Tree Register’s list of “champion trees”, stating that it “looks healthy and vigorous and is growing well.” The temporary TPO was granted on 19 June, with four weeks allowed for anyone to object.
Scarborough Council planning manager David Walker said: “We have not received any objections and will therefore be considering whether to make the TPO on the weeping elm permanent in due course.” A decision would be made by 20 August, he said. The site is owned by healthcare and property company Assura Properties, based in Warrington. It was previously used as St Mary’s Hospital (demolished in 2001), a workhouse and a market garden. It is now being used as a pay-and-display carpark, although planning permission has not been granted. A carboot sale is held there on Sundays. Mr Walker added: “Regarding the car park operating on the site, we have informed the landowner of the need for planning permission.” The tree is on a raised roundabout, contained by a circular brick wall. It has branches that extend out horizontally with weeping branchlets. The species was described by 19th century botanist John Loudon as “a beautiful tree generally growing to one side, spreading its branches out in a fan-like manner, sometimes horizontally and at other times almost perpendicularly downwards so that the head of the tree exhibits great variety of shape”.
Hanging baskets getting plenty of attention
GARDENS across the town are looking great at the moment and, even though the weather hasn’t really settled, at least it’s warm and unsettled rather than cold, wet and miserable! The
Muck and Magic gardeners have been out and about and have noticed that hanging baskets are doing well this year, probably due to the type of weather we have been experiencing. But how does the savvy gardener keep his baskets flowering well into autumn? Here are a few tips. First of all and most importantly - don’t forget the watering. It’s almost impossible to overwater a hanging basket so get as much moisture in as possible. Everyday watering is essential as those roots will be crammed into a small space and competing with each other for water. Don’t rely on rainy days to do the work for you. Keep up to date with picking off dead heads as this will encourage new buds to develop. Feeding with a high potash feed such as liquid tomato food will also promote and prolong healthy flowers. It’s at this time of the year that the Head Gardener in the Muck and
Magic garden will be seen pushing a few nasturtium seeds into the edges of the baskets. These seeds will produce flowers as your petunias and geraniums are beginning to run out of steam and so extend your colour season a bit longer. Elsewhere in the garden faded blooms from roses can be removed and stems pruned back to a good strong side shoot. This will encourage late flowering and give a good shape to the bush. If you haven’t got round to tidying up the spring aubrietia it’s not too late to cut it hard back, and don’t forget to keep feeding the sunflowers. The Muck and Magic “Challenge The Experts” competition is still accepting entries from gardeners who think that they can be crowned champion sunflower grower for 2015. You can send your entries, and those for biggest pumpkin, to [email protected].
We are deliciously deep in raspberrys at the moment but as soon as canes have fruited they are cut back to base and new shoots tied in ready for another bumper crop next year. This is, of course, the best way to look after summer fruiting rasps. If you have autumn raspberries leave the canes till mid winter and then cut them all down to ground level. If you have a question for the muck and magic gardeners you can contact us at scarboroughinbloom2@hotmail. co.uk and we will do our best to help solve your gardening conundrums!

Ploughing straight furrows for hospice in Cayton
Contestants prepare for battle
The ploughing match in full swing
Mick Berriman is watched closely.
Old farming equipment on display
Report and photos by Dave Barry
IDEAL conditions prevailed at the 17th annual ploughing match near Cayton on Saturday. “There was more moisture than expected,” pointed out seasoned veteran Mick Berriman, who won his category for the third year on the trot. Mick, of Barr Farm near Driffield, said that last year the ground was too dry and consequently hard to plough. This year, the Ferguson two-furrow plough
pulled by his 63-year-old Grey Ferguson TE20 tractor sliced through the earth with ease, in nice straight lines. Mick was followed, up and down the furrows, by his equally faithful and trusty 10-year-old springer spaniel Milly, who was looking for mice put up by the vibrations. Organised by Terry and Molly Oakley and Eddie Brown, the ploughing match and vintage working day, in fields off Mill Lane, is in aid of St Catherine’s Hospice. Besides the ploughing match, the popular

Raising funds to promote research Words and photo by Dave Barry
STAFF, residents and visitors of a Scarborough housing complex have raised £1,000 for four charities. The conditions represented by the charities affect many of the residents at Cedar Court, run by Hanover Housing. The money was raised via Cedar Court’s Gladrags, launched two years ago by estate manager Carolyn Beat and resident Doreen Lilley. New and used clothing and accessories are donated by residents and families, then
sold on two days a week. In this way, £3,200 has been raised for charities or emergency fundraising appeals. On this occasion, the £1,000 was shared equally between the local branches of the Macular Society, Parkinson’s UK, the National Osteporosis Society and the Alzheimer’s Society. Carolyn said Gladrags is always looking for volunteers. If you would like to help, ring 361781.
Scarborough Strata ONE of the great things about geology is that it is visible everywhere you look, even if there are no rocks, cliffs or beaches in sight. This is because it literally underpins all of the world around us, from the forces that build and shape our landscape, to the building stones used for our houses, though to controlling the very soils that we grow our crops in. We are very lucky living on such spectacular coastline where we can see plenty of geology, but it is also interesting to keep your eyes open for some more hidden geology. The first example I want to give you is our very own Castle Headland. Have you ever wondered why it is there? Essentially the headland exists due to a series of

geological faults, active millions of years ago that literally dropped the great mass of the Headland down, putting the harder rocks that form the Headland alongside softer rocks either side. The softer rocks have then eroded more quickly, giving us the two Bays of the town. The geological fault responsible for this movement runs right under the Castle gatehouse, but it has been inactive for many millions of years, so no earthquakes to worry about! Another classic local example of hidden geology is our local building stones, it perhaps seems obvious, but local villages gather much of their distinctiveness from their local building stone, so the honey coloured middle Jurassic sandstones (the very same age rocks as those
that contain dinosaur footprints) of places like Burniston and Cloughton are very different to the villages on the edge of the Wolds, where chalk, flint and brick dominate. Town centres are also great places to spot geology, and in particular keep an eye on the floors of new shopping centres, they are often home to spectacular polished limestones, marbles and other beautiful geology. We are now busy with all our summer trips, so if you would like to see some of our stunning local geology then visit www.hiddenhorizons.co.uk and see if there is a trip you fancy.

The scarecrows are back in Muston! Words and photos by Dave Barry
Muston’s annual scarecrow festival is back. This year, over 100 scarecrows are entertaining thousands of visitors to the small village near Filey. The festival, which runs until Sunday (2 August), features a scarecrow which stands at 7ft 7in, the same height as Britain’s tallest man. A sign next to him states: “The world’s shortest man is 21.5in tall”. Visitors are invited to measure their height on a pole next to the scarecrow. Nearby, in a display based on modern interpretations of old fairy tales, is an adult Red Riding Hood, an ugly Sleeping Beauty, a horrified prince, an old woman with bairns, the Jeremy Kyle Show and the Great Muston Bake-off. Around the corner, visitors can find Minions do Countdown, Nanny McPhee, land girls, a marathon runner crossing the finishing line– and many more besides.
The scarecrows, most made using papier mâché, are all around the village, on pavements and rooves, in gardens and hedges and on open spaces such as the village green and grass verges. Cllr Godfrey Allanson, one of the organisers, said: “We always know when the scarecrow festival is just around the corner when we see exceptional levels of activity in the village as the community works hard to prepare to welcome thousands of visitors. “The villagers are also busy behind closed doors working on their show-stopping scarecrows, keeping their plans secret right up until the last minute. However, I have discovered that Dr Who will land his Tardis on the village green to defend residents and visitors from Cybermen and Daleks!” The owner of the winning scarecrow will receive £150.

English Heritage gets involved at Scarborough Food Fair!
By Krystal Starkey
ENGLISH Heritage, which cares for Scarborough’s iconic 12th century castle, sold its foodie wares at Scarborough’s Food Fair for the first time on Saturday 18 July. A special guest arrived in the form of a monk serving delicious mead to customers to help promote the event. English Heritage, which looks after 400
historic buildings, monuments and sites, sold homemade fruit wines, mead, jams, chutneys and curds direct to the foodie folk of Scarborough from its stall in Westborough. The stall was one of nearly 20 that took pride of place in the town centre as the sun shone down on Scarborough. Simon Roe, Site Manager at Scarborough Castle, said: “Taking part in the Scarborough Food Fair is the ideal opportunity to ‘spread the word’ about our work at Scarborough Castle. “Our special guest helped us promote the work of English Heritage as well as allow customers to try the products. It was an ideal mix of food, history and heritage on the streets of Scarborough.” The next Scarborough Food Fair will take place on Saturday 15 August.
Plenty to see at Model Railway Exhibition by Pete Spence [email protected]
NO doubt, many will recognise the North Yorkshire Moors Railway’s (NYMR) celebrity station Goathland which featured as Aidensfield in the ITV programme Heartbeat and as Hogsmeade Station in the first Harry Potter film. But is this the real thing? Visitors to the Pickering Model Railway Exhibition on the 22 & 23 August are in for a treat as the Scarborough & District Railway Modellers (SDRM) have created this iconic NYMR station and are inviting visitors to look a little more closely. John Bruce, Goathland’s Station Master and a NYMR volunteer for over 40 years, is delighted with the results of the SDRM’s hard work, and said: “The likeness is remarkable and it is a very accurate representation of Goathland Station and the many stories depicted in the model help to bring it to life.” Mike Johnson, Chairman of the Scarborough & District Railway
Goathland miniature Modellers, said “We take immense pride in exhibiting the best of layouts, our own and those of our invited guests. Over the exhibition weekend, visitors can see what is really possible in the miniature world. Why not make a day of it? Come visit our show and then take a trip on the NYMR. Their station is just around the corner from our venue.” Goathland is one of ten working model railways on display at the Pickering Model Railway Exhibition taking place at the Memorial Hall in Pickering, on Saturday 22 August 10am – 5pm and on Sunday 23 August from 10am – 4pm.

Words and photo by Dave Barry
A MURDER-MYSTERY evening with a gangsters-and-molls theme had everyone laughing. It was presented at the Esplanade Hotel by Scarborough’s Limelight Company. Limelight was launched 23 years ago by Colette Timmons, who says: “I started it as a hobby but it snowballed.” The company has a roll call of 60 skilled and enthusiastic actors from an area reaching as far as Newcastle in the north, Sheffield in the south and Manchester in the west. The five-strong cast at the Esplanade consisted of Mark Palmer as Jitters, Mark Wadsworth as Gripper Grey, Barbara Pearson as Ma Edna Grey, Mike Prior as Slasher Grey and Colette Timmons as Diva Dorothy. The company promises “unforgettable
evenings of laughter and excitement. The emphasis for the evening is fun, with a great deal of audience participation. “We can guarantee that you and your guests will return home having had a thoroughly enjoyable night to remember.” The scripts are full of off-the-wall humour, nothing serious, nothing to offend - just slapstick and interactive fun. There are plots and subplots, red herrings and pink flamingoes, with tongue-in-cheek innuendo and a belly full of laughs. “Our murder mystery events are ideal for mini-breaks for coach operators, social functions for clubs and societies, corporate entertainment, teambuilding, private celebrations and fundraising events.” The Esplanade has become a regular venue for Limelight, which is planning similar events at the hotel. n Limelight’s website is at thelimelightcompany.com.
LADIES and gentlemen please put your hands together for the musical sensation that is Senior Moments. When six local retired people came together in 2011 to perform in a few local care and nursing homes, little did they realise that four years later they would be constantly booked out. Not looking for financial reward for delivering enjoyment and laughter, they have donated any payments received to Saint Catherine’s Hospice. To date they have raised an amazing £4,000. By bringing old style music, songs from a bygone era, reading poetry, performing skits and sketches, they have helped to brighten the lives of many residents. Front man Derek McNally, who performs with his wife and friends said: “We love

Confusions sets the standards at the SJT Review by Archie Parcell
SIR Alan Ayckbourn is a master at portraying human emotions wrapped up in comic situations and the revival of his 1974 play Confusions is the perfect vehicle to show off his abundant talents, as well as a fitting way to celebrate Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre's 60th anniversary. Confusions' five playlets were first premiered at Scarborough's Library Theatre and although much of the humour is of its time there are still plenty of laughs to be had more than 40 years on. Themes throughout the loosely-linked but self-contained acts are typical of Ayckbourn - loneliness and isolation, hypocrisy, domestic unhappiness and the general frailty of human relationships. The whole array of emotions are there in some form, from the opening 'Mother Figure' who is so consumed by looking after her kids that she can only relate to her nextdoor neighbours as children, to the philandering salesman in 'Drinking Companion', whose hotel chat-up lines are too much for two perfume reps,
Ayton art exhibition well worth a look
and on to the adulterous wife so bored with her career-obsessed husband that she has an affair with his ageing boss in 'Between Mouthfuls' - the pick of the quintet of scenes with the five actors each playing their part to perfection. Top that up with the farcical 'Gosforth's Fete' and its repercussions of a faulty Tannoy system, before leading on to the poignant finale of 'A Talk in the Park' with five characters not wishing to communicate and sitting alone on park benches, and you have an evening of top entertainment, although the five acts together perhaps lack a combined unifying force. The actors make the most of every opportunity to show of their range of talents, with the 20 characters portrayed by a cast of just five Richard Stacey, Stephen Billington, Emma Manton, Russell Dixon and Elizabeth Boag - a former pupil at Lady Lumley's in Pickering and a talented actress who is fast becoming a Stephen Joseph Theatre regular. Confusions runs until September 26 but dates need to be checked for which nights the play is on.

AYTON Art Club put on a fine display when they held an exhibition in the village. The event took place at the village hall and featured a range of exhibitors. Auctioneer David Duggleby officially opened the exhibition which attracted a lot of interest. Organiser Anne Dargue said: “We were absolutely thrilled with the exhibition and it was fantastic to see so many there for the opening. “A big thank you to David who spoke very well and helped set the tone for the event. There was lots of interest and some very positive comments on the art on display.” Jean Raine, of Ayton, was exhibiting some of her pottery work which she has been producing now for over 50 years and has attended 48 of the exhibitions in total. She said: “It is wonderful to see that there are so many talented people out there still prepared to show off their work in a lovely village venue. “I have been doing this for years and always look forward to this coming around.” If you would like to order any pictures taken by Pete Spence in the Scarborough Review then please email: [email protected] or ring 07815 290457.

Another year, another terrific Seafest
Scarborough Review, August - Issue 24 33
Words and photos by Dave Barry
SUN and rain, ukuleles and Americana, exotic food and gulls’ feet: this year’s Seafest had it all. The highlights included Some Like it Ossett, aka the Scarborough Harbour Palava, as it was dubbed by a spectator, at the request of leader Jacqui Wickes. Over 30 ukulele players took part and had a hoot, watched by a full tent early on Saturday afternoon, with boozers baking outside. The maritime set featured mass-ukulele
renditions of The Tide is High, What Shall we do With the Drunken Sailor, Octopus's Garden, Under the Boardwalk and, almost inevitably, I do Like to be Beside the Seaside. That evening, Americana trio American Echoes - Jesse Hutchinson, Sean Conroy and Joe Thornton - accompanied their high-octane blend of bluegrass, alt.country and rock ‘n’ roll covers with much whoopin’ and a-hollerin’. It went down a storm. Sunday’s top spots included quickfire stand-up poetry courtesy of A Firm of
Poets, ranging in tone from witty and hilarious to sombre and thoughtful. Jesse Hutchinson’s solo set featured about a dozen young children dancing between stage and audience, as the rain came on and gulls padded across the tent roof, with only their disembodied webbed orange feet visible below. Everyone Loves Ernie, fronted by Damion Pickup, sang laid-back covers such as the Jackson Five’s I Want You Back, Wham's I'm Your Man, Jacko’s Billie Jean and, with Ernie on low-down vocals, Fever. Sharing the Seafest bill, and enjoyed by most people present, were Mister Tooley, Tom Davenport, North of the Wall, the Demimondaines, the Two Tones, Dan Lumley, SJT Youth Choir, Ross Dransfield, the Rockin’ Hillbilly Blues Band, Connor & Nathan, Billy Neilson & John Cunworth,
Ben Lane, the Railroad Hoboes, Spearmint Rock, Hope & Social, Grand Theft Audio, Jessie Law, Chu Ma Shu – and fireworks. The music and beer tent was much smaller than usual, because of the space taken up on the West Pier by the lifeboathouse builders. A much larger tent was allocated to the traders of fudge, pies and pictures, the Maritime Heritage Centre and cookery demonstrations. Food stalls sold Thai, Spanish and Jamaican street-nosh. Over on the north wharf, the Whale was the world’s smallest theatre, with just enough room for a performer and an audience of three. The adjacent tent accommodated workshops and a fascinating geology display.

Neville’s Island set to stand alone at SJT Daniel Crowder will play the lead role
Jamie Chapman
THE Stephen Joseph Theatre revives a hit comedy from the award-winning writer of Calendar Girls as its celebratory 60th summer season continues. Tim Firth’s Neville’s Island was first shown at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in the Round at Westwood in June 1992 and has since continued to be staged throughout the world. It is being revived for the first time by the SJT and runs in the Round from 6 to 27 August in Scarborough, directed by the theatre’s Associate Director Henry Bell. Four out-of-condition, middle-aged businessmen are sent off on a team building exercise in the Lake District
where they succeed in being the first people ever to get shipwrecked on an island on Derwentwater. Director Henry Bell said: “Tim Firth has a mastery of tone and Neville’s Island is very, very funny but it can really shock an audience too. It also deals with big ideas whilst observing the more mundane elements of human life.” Daniel Crowder plays the title role and returns to the SJT where he last appeared in the world premiere of Tim Firth’s The Safari Party, directed by Alan Ayckbourn, in 2003. Craig Cheetham makes his SJT debut as Gordon. He can currently be heard on Radio 4 in the afternoon drama Stone and seen on Channel 4’s The Offence. Jamie Chapman comes to the SJT fresh from recording for Catherine Tate’s new series of Nan for the BBC. John Last takes on the role of Angus and will also perform on the SJT stage for the first time. n Neville’s Island can be seen at the SJT from Thursday 6 to Thursday 27 August.

Janine’s forest wins £4,000 award Sponsored by the Haworth Trust, the prize is for young artists (aged 35 and under) living and working in the North, creating work inspired by their surroundings. Janine, 35, says: “There are so many beautiful landscapes in Yorkshire I love but Cropton Forest in North Yorkshire is one of my favourites. It offers a beguiling mix of intense darkness between the trees and patches of sunlight dappling the forest floor. “There are multiple layers within this landscape – tall linear tree forms, overgrown scrubland and deeply entrenched paths. To depict these layers in my work, as well as convey life and movement, I have made grooves in the surface of the paper and layered with charcoal, graphite and pastel. Above all I hope to capture the essence of Cropton Forest and the sense of peace and tranquillity it evokes". New English Art Club president Richard Pikesley, who was on the selection panel, said: “We chose Cropton Forest I as the winning piece because of its strength and immediacy, the observational quality of its drawing and for the haunting atmosphere it creates looking through the woodland.” Janine Baldwin, centre, with her winning Janine creates paintings, prints and works picture and members of the Haworth Trust. on paper inspired by the landscapes and by Dave Barry seascapes of Yorkshire.

Rounding up for final time after three decades at Shire Horse Farm
Words & pictures by Pete Spence [email protected]
TONY Jenkins is bringing his rein at Staintondale Shire Horse Farm to an end after 30 memorable years. The flamboyant entertainer and horse breeder has been welcoming visitors to his top attraction for three decades but Tony and wife Ann have decided that this will be their final season as an attraction. Tony said: “We felt that with this being the 30 year anniversary then it would be a fitting way to bring it to and end. We are just going to open Sundays until the end of August so that for those who have never been here, there is still that opportunity.” The business was started in 1985 when Tony was breeding a few shire horses and needed some extra income to support this. He said: “I got the inspiration from going to the Great Yorkshire Show when I a Shire filly with me. I was so overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and love from both young and old people for the horses, I
decided to open my farm to visitors to come and see them. It made me somewhat a pioneer at he time as farm attractions were unheard of. “What started as a small enterprise, and grew quickly to the point where we were getting 20,000 visitors each season. “My passion and love for the business also encouraged me to write and in total I have now done five books which have sold over 4,000 copies of in total. “The farm has won numerous awards including a Yorkshire Tourist Board White Rose and various other accolades. “The thing I will miss the most is the people. We have had some great people visit us over the years and I absolutely love sharing my passion with them all. “I am 84-years-old in November so I think it is the correct thing to do. We will certainly be going out in high spirits though and look forward to the final ride. This business has provided me with a wonderful life and I would not change any of it.” A great display from Burtie Boy

Alex Lee and Alex Sedman, who canoed for the swimmers, decided it was time to come out of retirement and join Erin in the 1000m dash and all finished in very credible times, Erin in 21 mins, Alex Lee in 22 mins, and Alex Sedman in 28mins 36 secs. The club wanted to congratulate all who took part and say a massive thank you to the safety team.

Guided by the county’s Referee Development Officer Ross Joyce and Development Coach Andy Himsworth, the officials excelled in temperatures exceeding 35C, drawing praise from all corners and receiving plum appointments to semi-final games for the week long competition. George Roberts added, “This was a first class experience, not only just to officiate abroad but also to compete with the difficulties of language barriers and having to officiate with referees from other countries.” North Riding County FA Referee Development Officer, Ross Joyce added: “Without doubt this tournament has been the most powerful piece of referee development we have undertaken in the last eight years.” “As a sign of how well all four referees performed, each was awarded with a plum semi-final appointment so it was very encouraging.”

Memorial match day a fitting tribute to Andrew Words & pictures by Pete Spence [email protected]
THE Andrew McGeown Memorial Pink Princess Party at Eastway Sports proved to be a resounding success. The 32-year-old Scarborough man tragically lost his life in February this year when he was swept out to sea attempting to rescue his beloved pet dog Arnold.
Andrew was a big Scarborough Pirates rugby league fan and a fan of all things pink so the Pink Princess Party and Memorial Match was created. Tina Boden, one of the organisers, said: “It was a fitting tribute to Andrew and people turned out in force to show their respects and have a great day. “The weather was spot on and perfect for
watching some rugby and enjoying the BBQ and refreshments. “We were raising money for the RNLI who made a brave attempt to save Andrew's life, and we raised almost one and a half thousand pounds, which was magnificent. “We are in the process of setting up The Andrew McGeown legacy which will continue to raise money for charity. “I would like to thank everyone who supported this event and it was truly a brilliant day in memory of a wonderful guy.” Both Pirates A and first teams were in action losing 30-26 and 25-10 respectively.

Darts fan John still on target after 56 years
John Gowan
Words & picture by Pete Spence [email protected]
JOHN Gowan has been involved in the local darts scene for a staggering 56 years and coming up to his 80th birthday this year, has no ideas of stepping down. John first played darts in Scarborough in 1959 for the
Trafalgar after coming out of the army. He said: “I lived on Hoxton Road at the time and the Traf is just round the corner. One day when I was in there the landlady Dianne Lofthouse asked me if I fancied playing darts as they were often short. I had never really played the game at all until that point but over 50 years later am still involved.” John played for a successful Traf team for several years before work commitments and a move to Eastfield meant he gave up the game for a while. A move back to Scarborough saw John set up the SubAqua Club with friends Jim Lassie and Stan Bradley, so he also played for them and the Conservative Club after. It was in the early 80s when John began his work away from the oche. He added: “I was asked to be secretary for the club’s league and thought I would give it a go as although I was no longer playing, I was enjoying the social side of the game and my wife Ann was still heavily involved. 35 years later I am still involved and am President of the Yorkshire Darts Committee. I have also played a lot of
pool and snooker over the years and still play snooker now at the Conservative Club and enjoy it.” John, who went to the Scarborough Boys High School, married his wife Ann in 1959 and their love of darts meant they spent most of their social time together and got to travel all around the country as part of the Yorkshire set-up. John, who was a science and engineering lecturer at the old technical college, said: “We had some wonderful times and met some very special people. After Ann passed we changed the name of one of the leagues to the Ann Gowan Darts and Dominoes League and it has been that way for the past 10 years now.” John and friend Brian Robinson even started up the Sunday Pool League in the Scarborough area in 1990 which is still very popular today. John added: “The sport has been a massive part of my life, from a 23-year-old walking into the Traf right until approaching my 80th birthday this November. And I would not change it for the world.”

can to support him during his recovery. “It was great to see the likes of Neil Warnock, Colin Appleton, Steve Norris, Alan Kamara and many many more all get together and talk about old times. There were quite a few of the later generation of Boro players too such as Mark Hotte, Leigh Walker and Steve Baker, so there was a great mixture.” Sean had been planning the event for many months and has already started on making the 2016 version even bigger and better.
He added: “We really want to have a game next year with former players. That would be the icing on the cake and a real treat for everyone attending. “It was extremely hard work but worth it in the end and it was a lot of fun. There was a great atmosphere and I would like to thank everyone who got involved. “We ended the night at Quids Inn thanks to owner Alf Arton who was very generous. I can tell you that Steve Norris was probably the last one to go home.” Next year's event will take place on July 16.
THE Boro reunion and festival of football at Scarborough Rugby Club's Silver Royd was hailed a success and a date has already been set for next year's event. The only downer on the day was a broken leg for the Scarborough & District team's Dan Jenkinson in their friendly with Scarborough Athletic.

Rhodes looking to make waves at the Rumble on the Humber Words & pictures by Pete Spence [email protected]
SCARBOROUGH boxer George Rhodes is heading for the biggest test so far of his young professional career. The 23 year-old former Westway Amateur is on the under card of the huge clash between Hull rivals Luke Campbell and Tommy Coyle at Hull KR's Craven Park on Saturday August 1 billed as the Rumble on the Humber. Rhodes takes on another Hull fighter Paul O'Brien, and knows he will have to be at his best to walk away with the victory. Rhodes said: “This is the biggest night of my career so far and I am looking forward to it. He has the home town advantage but I will have my supporters too and I have to make sure I just concentrate on my own performance. “I have been training very hard with my coaches, dad George and Alan Edwards and we have done everything we can to prepare correctly.” This will be only Rhodes' second professional contest after emerging victorious in his debut fight in Barnsley earlier
this year against Frank Greaves. He added: “It has been a case of adjusting to the professional game and I am thoroughly enjoying that. I eat, sleep and breathe boxing and I am a fan as much as I am a competitor. “To be boxing on shows with the likes of Tommy Coyle and Luke Campbell is unbelievable and I want more of it. “Hopefully I can come away with a win and think about planning another fight for around September. It would be nice to get some momentum going and progress. “I would like to George Rhodes thank Gordon Gibb
of Flamingo Land for his support and I am always looking to try and attract new sponsors.” If any local businesses would like to find out about sponsoring George on his professional boxing adventure then please ring him on 07896 568611.

IN Division A, both Mulgrave and Seamer seem odds on for promotion but only seven points separate the pair who have gone head to head all season. They meet on the penultimate weekend of the season, a game which could determine the title. The mid table is congested in such a competitive division with Grindale in third. Brompton’s paceman Tom Pateman had the best figures for July, claiming 9-56 against relegation threatened Cayton 2nds. Wold Newton gave themselves a glimmer of hope of survival after gaining a home win over Wykeham, their first win in eight matches.
TRIO CHASING SECOND PROMOTION SPOT Brompton, who are currently fourth in Division A host to Staxton on the last game of the WITH just five weeks to go, it’s all to play season. Ebberston and Heslerton sit for in the Scarborough Becket Cricket nicely positioned in mid table but only 15 League.

RUN away leaders Staxton 2nds are 29 points clear in Division B and look certain for the move into the second tier, but it’s all to play for as Thornton Dale, Ganton and Ravenscar look for the second promotion berth. Only five points separate the teams and it’s tough to call who will find form at the business end of the season. Sewerby 2nds and Scarborough 3rds are well adrift and the bottom two will be looking forward to life in Division C in 2016.

Scarborough Review, August - Issue 24 49
Mcguinness sets sights on gold Cup success
CAPTAIN’S REVIEW Neil Elvidge THIS month has been a mixed bag at Scarborough Cricket Club with some indifferent performances and results. The first team had their unbeaten run ended by Easingwold, then lost to Hull Zingari, which were both disappointing defeats. Alex Carrie and Mark Tennant both impressed however scoring hundreds. We got back to winning ways beating Clifton Alliance, which was extremely important as you don't want that losing mentality to set in. The lads showed the right attitude and just kept working hard with the belief that we would stop the rot, and that was what
happened. We are a fairly young side so all the experiences are valuable, whether they be losing or winning ones. The squad want to grow together and we know that we can build on some good displays. The second team are still unbeaten so hopefully Mark's men can carry their form right through until the end of the season. Hopefully Adam Lyth can turn his England form around. If he can get past the new ball against Australia then I'm sure he can make big runs. We will all be rooting for him and the England team who need to puts things right against the Aussies, and quick!

Rep game abandoned Danny Jenkinson
THE Scarborough League select team fixture against Scarborough Athletic at Silver Royd on 18 July was abandoned after 72 minutes when Danny Jenkinson of Newlands Park suffered a broken leg in an accidental collision. The game was keenly contested with Boro taking a first half lead through Tom Corner, and the League team equalising when Edgehill’s Dean Craig scored from the penalty spot. A healthy crowd of 482 watched the game, including many former Boro players and officials attending the Scarborough FC re-union in the Silver Royd clubhouse.
Teesside boost for Challenge Cup
WITH the Teesside League reverting to a single division, there will be no Teesside League second division clubs entering the North Riding Saturday Challenge Cup this coming season, leaving the way open for local league teams to make their mark on the completion. Edgehill and West Pier have won the competition in the past, and last season Newlands Park reached the semi-finals before going down 4-2 to Teesside League second division side Boro Athletic.

goLFINg REVIEw BY DERRICK ARDEN Bowman bags Presidents North and South enjoy mixed pairs event Prize Putter accolade Geoff Bowman (centre) receiving his Prize Putter from the Club President Derrick Arden and his wife Pamela. NORTH CLIFF held their Presidents Weekend in fine weather but with a testing breeze for the players to contend with, especially on the Sunday. The ladies got proceedings under way when two of them Clare Ellard (4) and Janet Brown (21) handed in scores of net 71. Clare edged it on the count back to win the Ladies Presidents Putter whilst Janet took the prize for the best gross from the rest of the field. Christine Toulson (31) and Marilyn Rennard claimed the second and third net prizes. On Saturday the juniors took centre stage and again two players came in with the same score, this time it was George Bell and Thomas Duck who both had 38 stableford points. After the
count back George emerged as the winner of the Junior Presidents Putter to leave Thomas as the runner-up. In the mixed pairs competition Brian Messruther partnered by Debra Haith took first prize just holding off the challenge from Graham & Christine Toulson. The gents took to the field in force on Sunday with 155 members teeing up in what proved to be difficult blustery conditions nevertheless the competition for the Gents Presidents Putter was fierce. The leading score was net 67 and there were four tied on that number so once again the count back was the decider. The winner, after gaining a reputation over the years of always being a bridesmaid, turned out to be Geoff Bowman (12). After a front nine of nine over par things were not looking great for Geoff but a magical back nine of two under par gross that included four birdies ensured it was his turn to celebrate. The Division One net prizes were claimed by Chris Walker (11) on net 67 and Martin Laidler (6) with net 68 and in Division Two first place was taken by Lee Pickup (15) with Dan Cooper (16) in second placed both of whom posted net 67. Best Gross prize went to Dave Raybould (3) with a level par round of 72 which in the conditions was an excellent round.

Whilst the game was played in a relatively competitive manner the post match meal and banter were the highlights of the day.

won the seventh, a par from Aaron on the ninth was good enough to take the hole and leave him four up at the turn. After the players teed off at the 10th the weather intervened to the extent that play was suspended for some 20 minutes, until the rain abated a little, after which Fraser won the hole. Unfortunately for Fraser the delay did not put Aaron out of his stride as he then went on to win both the 11th & 12th holes to go five up and two halves at 13 & 14 meant victory for the Mid-Yorks man by 5&4.
Harrison claims Cock o’ the North title on new machine
Words & pictures by Andy Standing
IT was a challenging weekend for the organisers of the annual Cock O’ the North meeting. Legal issues meant the event had to be cut to a single day’s racing with Saturday giving fans the chance to wander round the paddock and meet the riders. With a packed day on Sunday the last thing that was needed were delays and things didn’t get off to the best of starts with the practice session being delayed due to a huge downpour. Thankfully the rain passed and the track started to dry in time for qualifying. The lightweights and super lightweights got the racing underway with the dark clouds gathering once more. Tyre choice was going to be critical as there were still damp patches around parts of the circuit and rain clouds were gathering overhead. Whilst some riders opted for the safety of a full wet set up Ivan Lintin was bold in his choice of full slicks. James Cowton took the early lead, Jamie Coward held second with Lintin in third but as Lintin’s tyres warmed up he soon overhauled Coward and Cowton. The rain held off and Lintin took a comfortable victory by over 24 seconds from Driffield’s Cowton. Alistair Howarth took the spoils
in the super lightweights from Dan Frear. Race two saw Daley Mathison on pole position in the senior race but it was Lintin, riding the RC Express Kawasaki ZX10R, that was fastest from the line. Mar Train’s Dean Harrison held second, Mathison third and Lee Johnston in fourth. Harrison finally got the better of Lintin to take the win with Johnston overhauling Mathison to take third. Next on the grid were the Classic F1 and F2 bikes. Jamie Coward took the honours on the Mistral Racing Kawasaki ZXR750. Paul Owen took the F2 win. The junior race was red flagged early on after a coming together at Mountside hairpin. From the restart Dean Harrison took the race by the scruff of its neck giving the new Yamaha R6 its debut win. Ivan Lintin chased hard throughout but pushed a little too hard on the final lap, slipping off at Mountside. Lee Johnston took advantage of Lintin’s slip to finish second and Tom Weedon took third, both riding Triumph Daytona 675s. The sidecars lined up for race five which turned out to be the final race of the day. Ian and Carl Bell led from start to finish and won by 15 seconds from Conrad Harrison and Lee Patterson.
Unfortunately one of the sidecars spilled a large amount of oil down the bottom straight and into farm bends and despite the best efforts of the marshalls it couldn’t be made safe enough to race. The organisers had to make the tough decision to call a halt to the day’s racing. Whilst the spectators were left disappointed, there was no doubt that rider safety was paramount. On a brighter note for the Auto 66 club, 23 time Isle of Man TT winner, John McGuinness confirmed his attendance at the Gold Cup meeting in September.

International engine of the year 2015
TRADITIONALLY, the 1-litre to 1.4-litre category at the International Engine of the Year Awards has been pretty easy to predict. After all, a single engine has routinely dominated the competition for the last nine years. Which makes it all the more impressive that PSA Peugeot Citroën’s 1.2-litre turbocharged threecylinder development has raced to victory in 2015, clinching first place by almost 70 points and forcing Volkswagen’s category-dominating 1.4-litre TSI Twincharger unit into second place. Designed and produced in France, PSA’s triple motor boasts a high-output turbocharger (spinning up to 240,000rpm) and impressive low-rev power and torque – 95% of the engine’s torque is available from 1,500 to 3,500rpm. And the OEMs substantial investment in the PureTech family, which totals more than US$960m, has also yielded engines that deliver in terms of emissions reduction. The 110ps turbocharged engine variant, for example, emits just 96g/km of CO2. Not only has the PureTech turbo ended
Volkswagen’s dominance in the category, but PSA’s well-received three-cylinder powerplant also struck a chord with many members of this year’s judging panel, winning them over with its blend of performance and efficiency. “Three cylinders are increasingly the way to go for compact cars, and PSA’s turbo triple is a particularly responsive yet economical engine that’s a delight to live with,” enthused freelance journalist John Simister, echoing the sentiments of many on this year’s panel. “Without turbo lag, this threecylinder gives a lot of power and perfect torque at very low revs, with a harmonious noise throughout the whole range. And the consumption is very low,” agreed L’Automobile Magazine’s Christophe Congrega. “The new PureTech engine from PSA is a revelation in terms of refinement, performance and efficiency,” stated German journalist Thomas Imhof. “Just like Ford, PSA shows what’s possible with only three cylinders.”
Test drive now the Peugeot 2008 Crossover with Pure Tech engine at Minstergate Peugeot on Seamer Road.

Scarborough boy back on track after suffering from rare genetic disorder
Oliver Parnaby gets set to start the train at North Bay Railway
Words & picture by Pete Spence [email protected]
A SCARBOROUGH youngster who suffers from a rare genetic disorder is on track for a bright future thanks to friends and family and North Bay Railway. Oliver Parnaby, five years old, from the Seamer Road area of town was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis type 1 when he was just 18 months old. But after mum Danni Parnaby contacted Scarborough Review Editor Pete Spence to highlight his condition, Pete helped Oliver and family have a smile on their faces with a special train trip thanks
to North Bay Railway. Danni said: “Oliver and the family have been through a lot so it was a lovely thing to do and we are very thankful. The railway gave us a special pass for the season so we can go whenever we want. Oliver absolutely loves trains.” Oliver was born in June 2010 with a straightforward water birth but when he was around six months old parents Danni and Chris noticed spots which were increasing in number so he was taken to the doctors. Danni said: “We were referred to a genetic consultant in Leeds and that was when we discovered what was wrong after tests were carried out. It is a condition where most people who have it can live with few problems, but Oliver developed autistic tendencies too and has had problems with his spine which need operating on. “On June 21 this year we set off to Leeds General Infirmary ready for his operation and nothing could have prepared us for that day. “Thankfully everything went to plan. Oliver spent four days on the HDU, and then two days on the children’s ward following his surgery, before being sent home in a back brace. He has a followup appointment with his surgeon on July 31 but everything seems to be going well and Oliver is coping and recovering fantastically.” For more on Oliver’s special train trip and his condition see page 6.

Summer judging for Air cadets flying high Newby & Scalby in Bloom at award ceremony
Members of Newby & Scalby in Bloom and Yorkshire in Bloom judges get ready for a tour of the villages
Words & pictures by Pete Spence [email protected]
NEWBY & Scalby in Bloom were feeling confident ahead of the summer judging of the Yorkshire in Bloom competition. Two female judges, one from Hutton Cranswick, and the other from Leeds, visited the group before taking a tour around the villages to see the work they had done over the past few months. The group would love to match a previous Silver Gilt award they clinched, but will also be keeping their fingers crossed that they could win the main Gold award for the whole of Yorkshire. Newby & Scalby in Bloom chairman Peter Staveley said: “This is an exciting time of the year as we are judged on the terrific work we do. It is nice to receive some
The new bee and butterfly garden in Scalby village recognition because all the volunteers work so hard to make our villages look the best they can.” Newby & Scalby in Bloom have also created a new bee and butterfly garden at Church Becks in Scalby. Kev Riley, from the group, who has been heavily involved with creating the new garden, said: “It is a lovely little spot in the village and we felt it needed something. “Bees in particular are decreasing in numbers in the UK and there are a lot of these kinds of gardens being created to try and stop that. It is in its infancy but we will be planting more and growing it in the future.” The group had been fundraising for this project with their annual plant sale and the bumper raffle.
Old school findings surprise for Scarborough couple

see.“It brought back some memories for me because when we were at Barrowcliff school we did sport at Oliver’s Mount and used to walk past Queen Margaret’s as a short-cut. I just remember it being this derelict and burnt-out slightly eerie building, which I knew had been bombed in the Second World War.” The school was destroyed when a German parachute mine landed on the gym on March 18, 1941. Queen Margaret’s was established in Scarborough in 1901 by the Woodard Foundation, an organisation committed to the establishment of boarding schools where teaching would be firmly based on the Christian religion. Following evacuation to Pitlochry during the First World War, and then to Castle Howard during the Second, the school finally moved to Escrick Park, six miles south of York, in 1949, where it still is to this day.
A SCARBOROUGH couple were set to be part of a historical discovery recently after Northern Gas Networks turned up to do some work at the back of their home. Geoffrey, 66, and Brenda Evans, 65, who live in Queen Margaret’s Court in the South Cliff area, were intrigued to see parts of an old Scarborough School come to light as work on the gas works at their home were carried out. Geoffrey explained: “I was just being a bit nosey and having a look at what the workers were doing and they soon came across some old parts of a building. Having grown up in Scarborough I knew that this was the site of Queen Margaret’s school which was destroyed during the Second World War. “The workers managed to retrieve some parts of what seems to be a bathroom or wash room area and it was fascinating to

Mountain trek task for long-time hospice worker Ann A NURSE who has worked at Saint Catherine’s Hospice for almost all of its 30 years will be spending her summer break on top of the world to help the hospice. Ann Harper, Director of Clinical Care Services, is heading for Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, hoping to scale all 5,895m (19,341ft) on a charity trek to boost hospice funds. Ann is no stranger to heady heights. She climbed to the Everest base camp in Nepal in 2013 and also trekked to Machu Picchu in Peru in 2006. Her latest adventure will be her toughest yet when she hopes to climb higher than she has ever been. She is taking on the challenge knowing from previous experience that altitude sickness could make it a tougher still. “The altitude can make you feel really poorly but I’m going prepared for that,” she said. “Altitude sickness can be your biggest challenge – it certainly isn’t always the fittest people who make it to the top.”
Ann has worked at Saint Catherine’s for 28 years and is hoping her challenge will give a summertime boost to the hospice as it celebrates 30 years of care. Ann has covered all her own costs so any sponsorship will go directly to help patients and their families. She sets off for Tanzania later this month and can be sponsored via her page at http://www.justgiving.com/Ann-Harper4

A CHRISTMAS card painted by a Scarborough artist will raise funds for the RNLI. Entitled Home for Christmas, the striking gouache snow-scene depicts Scarborough’s all-weather lifeboat moored in the harbour. Professional artist Marilyn Spence was required to exercise artistic licence as the lifeboat isn’t usually tied up against the
Vincent pier. She was commissioned by the RNLI after a similar image, depicting Whitby lifeboat, became the charity’s second best-selling Christmas card in the country last year. Marilyn, of Northstead, attended Central School then studied at Scarborough Art School, based at what is now the Yorkshire Coast College. The Christmas card is on sale at the temporary lifeboat shop, next to where the new lifeboathouse is being built. A pack of 10 cards costs £3.95. www.marilynspenceartist.co.uk

‘Cold water Kills’ film reveals deadly dangers of swimming in North Yorkshire reservoirs By Krystal Starkey
YORKSHIRE Water and West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue service have created a film to warn people of the dangers of swimming in reservoirs following a series of tragic events over the past 5 years. With water temperatures as low as 12ºC, depths of up to 50m and undercurrents lurking beneath the surface, the Cold Water Kills film highlights that even a short swim could end in tragic consequences. The film is aimed at young people who are most likely to be tempted to swim in reservoirs during the school summer holidays. It was filmed at Ogden reservoir in Halifax and features a hard hitting recreation of a reservoir emergency rescue that ends in tragedy. In the last five years, Yorkshire and Humberside’s four Fire & Rescue Services (WYFRS) have been called out

to around 346 water rescue incidents - 20 of which resulted in deaths. Alastair Harvey, Recreation Advisor at Yorkshire Water, said: “Reservoirs may look tempting to take a swim in but they can be killers and our dramatic film will hopefully raise awareness of these risks amongst young people.” Station Manager Ian Thompson, a Technical Rescue Officer for West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service, said: “Too often in the past people have been drawn to the cooling waters on a hot day, only to find that they are simply not capable of functioning in the low temperatures encountered in the deeper water. Across the UK, there was a total of 381 drownings and water-related deaths in 2013 with over half occurring in inland waters, such as reservoirs, lakes and rivers. To view the hard hitting film visit https://www. yorkshirewater.com/byelaws. It can also be shared on social media amongst friends and family using #ColdWaterKills.

A YEAR of fundraising and many years of ministry in Scarborough came to an end when two Methodist ministers moved on. The Rev Mark Haynes and the Rev Clare Stainsby held a joint farewell service. Mark has been Minister at Westborough Methodist Church for 18 years. Clare, Minister at Northstead,
Wreyfield Drive and Scalby Methodist Churches, is also moving on after 13 years. A highlight of their joint farewell at Queen Street Central Hall was the presentation of big cheques to two charities – Saint Catherine’s Hospice and Christian Aid. The money had been collected during a year of charity fundraising by churches all along the coast. One of the biggest fundraisers was a skydive by Mark's his wife, Ros, who raised £1,910 for the hospice. Money raised through other events, including a Singing Vicars concert and a flower festival, was divided between the two charities. The final total was revealed during the farewell service when Mark presented £7,079 to the hospice and £10,663 to Christian Aid. A funding scheme from the EU will multiply the amount raised by Christian Aid to bring the total donated to specific projects to almost £50,000. The money raised was boosted further by the collection from the service. Carolyn Jackson, Fundraising Manager for Saint Catherine’s, thanked everyone involved. Mark is now moving to Kirkbymoorside with his wife, Ros, who also did an abseil from Ripon Cathedral for Christian Aid as part of the fundraising effort. He is starting a new career with North Yorkshire County Council. Clare is moving to a new circuit in Salford.

Dear Editor Dear Editor
I WOULD like to thank you for publicising our recent Save Scarborough Whitby and Ryedale Mind campaign and say a huge thank you to your readers for their support and donations which helped save us from closure. Our independent charity, which has existed on the Yorkshire Coast for more than 50 years, helps people with a wide range of mental health problems. Back in April we were faced with the heart-wrenching possibility of closing our charity after a £20,000 shortfall left us unable to continue operating into the next financial quarter. But thanks to your publication helping to get our message out to your readers, we received in excess of £25,000 with just hours to spare before a deadline of the end of May. Sadly, mental health charities receive very little support from the public when it comes to donations or people wanting to fundraise for us, despite mental ill-health affecting one in four of us. However, more than ever, people are turning to us as they face problems such as unemployment, debt, housing or relationships which can all have a devastating impact on their mental
health. We have to raise our own money to support people in the local community and we do not receive money from charity shops or national Mind who we are only affiliated to in name. Our 17 staff and army of 60 volunteers support some of the most vulnerable people in your community. We can help people via our Side by Side one to one support service, support groups in Whitby and Scarborough, and our daytime telephone helpline, as well as giving assistance with finance, debt, housing and volunteer opportunities. We would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in helping to form a fundraising committee to help bring in funds on a regular basis and we are also eager to hear from people interested in becoming a member of our board of trustees. Once again, thank you to everyone who supported our appeal. For more details please call me on (01723) 588088 or log on to our website: www.swrmind.org.uk Yours sincerely Sophie Hall Head of Services for Scarborough Whitby and Ryedale Mind

WE would like to say what a great weekend with great weather, great crowd, great atmosphere, great bands, great straw bears, great sound and lighting, great support and a great team we had for Staxtonbury 2015. We, as organisers, could not have wished for things to go so well thanks to everybody who supported the event – it was brilliant! To see hundreds of people dancing to The Kinks up on stage in a field at Staxton on a sunny afternoon. Left a lump in our throats, and for legends such as these guys to say they thought it was brilliant was a big pat on the back for all you people who contributed to make the whole event so colourful and and vibrant. Roll on 2016 when are going to have a challenge to top this year, but we will certainly be giving it a good go. Ray and Mark and the Staxtonbury Team

SCARBOROUGH Studio Group would like to thank everybody who came to support the Magnitude exhibition at the Old Parcels Office, Scarborough Station. They would also like to thank the contributing artists for taking part and their help in the running of the exhibition. Magnitude has been a huge success, showing work of a size not normally seen in this area, by local artists who exhibit nationally and in many cases internationally. The exhibition has created enthusiasm and ideas for using the Old Parcels Office as an Artspace for a variety of exciting and contemporary arts events. Scarborough Studio Group, who have restored the building from it’s at risk state to the stunning building as it now stands, are looking towards the future. Having completed stage one of the project the building can be used for exhibitions and events and Scarborough Studios are currently in discussions

The next stage is to make further improvements to the building to increase the potential for use such as heating and toilets once funds are secured, meanwhile it is intended that artists are able to take advantage and make use of it as it stands. Magnitude has been an opportunity for artists to show large scale works in a fantastic setting, and has proved that there is a place for this in the Scarborough area.

A Postcard from Scarborough by Terry White
BILLOWED clouds of contorted shapes drift slowly across the blue patchwork sky. The lasting remains of a once proud castle stand high and forlorn above the open bay in a stony finger of defiance. Ancient walls weave around the cliffs edge like a twisting stone serpent. While below the cluttered trees and stagnant vegetation, huge boulders lay strewn among the untamed grass as though cast by giant hands. Beyond the Lush green plateau zig zagging paths snake forever downward to the winding driveway, linking the two contrasting bays. Along the footpath of the upper parade people sit on wooden benches staring dreaminly at the languid coast line. Fishing and sailing craft pass each
other in a slow perpetual motion, leaving behind white wisps of foam in the dark green sea. From on high the long wide beach, like a moving Lowry tapestry, thronged in a multitude of shapes and figures. In the distance the babbling estuary and pebbled rocks of Scalby Beck is concealed behind the modern domineering white tent shaped buildings. A kaleidoscope of sights coupled with the demure and quaintness of this tranquil scene, vies in contest wildly with its lively brash sister the South Bay. Though combined, they capture the very essence of a vibrant and relaxed Scarborough on a serene and bustling summers day.

the camp site only a mile away. Evening activities included the rope swing in the forest and ‘finding Bradley’, who had settled into his own eco shelter. The final six miles were quickly walked on Sunday, the last day of the adventue. Teacher Mrs Abbey said: “This was the final George Pindar School expedition of the year and my admiration goes out to Nathan Beanland, Callum Lumsden, Bradley England, Sam McNeill, Courtney Caglar, Ellie Slight, Ebony Garbutt and Chloe Marshall. They were great company and a credit to D of E and themselves.”

Did aviator Amy Johnson pay a flying visit to Scarborough?
Josh Kermode (left) and Jack Siddons in Greensmith and Thackwray; the photo which possibly shows Amy Johnson on St Nicholas Street in Scarborough SCARBOROUGH coffee shop owner, Jack Siddons, is appealing for information on a photograph taken near his premises which appears to feature legendary Hull aviator Amy Johnson. Jack Siddons, who co-owns Greensmith and Thackwray on St Nicholas Street, Scarborough, with Josh Kermode, is assembling a collection of vintage
photographs of the former ‘Indian and Colonial Outfitters’ which he plans to display in the coffee shop. The picture in question shows a woman who appears to be wearing a flying helmet in the centre of crowds near Greensmith and Thackwray presumably pre-World War Two. It was given to him by regular customer Janet Hastie, a descendant of
the Lobb family, who owned the original shop. Jack says: “Janet told us that she believes the woman is Amy Johnson, and judging by other pictures we’ve found online, it certainly looks like her. “But we can find no reference to her ever visiting Scarborough, although it looks as though she really drew the crowds! We’d love to know for certain if it is her and, if so, when and why she was here.” Hull-born Amy Johnson (1903-1941) was a pioneering English aviator who set many long-distance records during the 1930s. Her death has been the subject of much speculation, but the most likely explanation is that she bailed out as her aircraft crashed into the Thames Estuary. Her body was never recovered. n Anyone who has any information on the Amy Johnson picture can email [email protected]
All the fun of the summer fete
Words and photos by Dave Barry
THERE was fun aplenty when a day-care centre threw open its doors for a summer fete. Opened by local councillor Johnathan Dodd, the annual event at Eastfield House on Eastway, Eastfield, featured games, stalls, a tombola, a bouncy castle, face painting, a barbecue and a raffle. Head of Care Melanie Padgham said everyone had been looking forward to the event. “The summer fete is always one of the highlights of our year, when we get the chance to welcome people from all over
Eastfield and beyond for some good oldfashioned community fun,” Melanie said. Day care sessions at Eastfield House offer an opportunity for visitors to meet friends, try out therapeutic activities, enjoy homecooked, nutritious food and refreshments and all the comforts of home. Visitors can relax and watch TV or a film, play a game, join in organised activities or take part in hobbies and crafts. n Ring 502410 for more information.

Pictured at Sunday’s fundraiser are organisers, left to right, Karen Scotter, Sian Johnson and Lorraine Harding. ORGANISERS raised around £2,000 for Saint Catherine’s Hospice by holding an event at Scarborough’s Ship Inn on Falsgrave. The family friendly event was held in memory of a young cancer victim and featured an auction of boxing memorabilia, a bouncy castle, a BBQ and lots of kids activities. Dawn Scotter was only 43 when she died from breast cancer but her friends have been fundraising ever since to support Saint Catherine’s Hospice. The event kicked off again in the evening with an auction including boxing memorabilia, some donated by Dawn Scotter’s cousin, Paul Ingle, who gave items including an autographed sports vest. A boxing glove signed by Olympic gold medallist Joe Frazier was also up for grabs. The event was organised by Dawn’s sister, Karen, and friends Sian Johnson and Lorraine Harding. They all work together at Sunny’s Café. They have been fundraising for the hospice over the four years since Dawn died. She had support from the Macmillan team employed by the hospice. Sian said the event had been packed. “We’re so pleased and just want to thank everyone who came along to support us,” she said.

TIME TRAVEL
Join us as we journey back in time. No pushing. MARINE DRIVE TooK 11 YEARS To BUILD
BY DAVe BARRY
THE construction of Marine Drive was the biggest and boldest engineering project ever undertaken in Scarborough. It took hundreds of men nearly 11 years to build, linking the two bays. Until then, the castle headland was just a rocky, eroding promontory. Sandside was an untidy jumble of yards and warehouses clustered around the harbour, and Royal Albert Drive finished abruptly near Hairy Bob’s Cave. Many influential voices opposed the perceived extravagance, maintaining that a tunnel through the headland would be the best way to join the two sides of the town. In the 1880s, after years of discussion of the validity of such a grand scheme, a consultant was appointed to conduct a feasibility study. Sir John Coode (1816-92) was a civil engineer specialising in maritime construction and probably the most distinguished harbour engineer of the 19th century, working throughout the British empire. He stated: “The proposal represents no insuperable difficulties in the way of its execution and the question will have to be determined more on financial than on engineering grounds.” Coode assured ratepayers that the 19th century equivalent of the council tax wouldn’t go up by much, estimating that the work would cost £70,000. The sum included £10,000 for the approach leading from Foreshore Road and the projected income to be achieved by levying a toll. The year before the report was published, over 700,000 tickets were collected at the railway station and a quarter of a million people visited the underground aquarium below the Spa footbridge. “If the same number of persons who visited the aquarium in four months passed over the new road only once in a year, and half of them came back again, their tolls would amount to £1,589”. When work began, in 1897, the local authority thought it would take only three years. But they reckoned without the immense and unpredictable power of the sea. Storms and operational problems caused many setbacks. Huge teams of labourers toiled for years with equipment and tools that would be regarded as primitive by today’s standards. They used steam-powered cranes and a railway was constructed to transport plant and heavy materials such as enormous granite blocks. The official laying of the final block, by the mayoress in 1904, was followed, four months later, by a violent storm which caused huge damage to the shoreline road (and washed away the northbay pier). The new road cost £124,700 – 78% more than Coode estimated and was finally declared open on 5 August 1908. It proved extremely popular with promenaders and remains so today; people enjoying the spectacular views and possibly - as today - trying to spot cetaceans in calm water and peregrines nesting on the cliffs. The toll was a penny per person, whether you were on foot, in a car, on a horse or on a motorbike. It was collected at the southern end at a tollhouse which miraculously escaped the municipal fervour to demolish fine old buildings in later decades. In the first year, the toll brought in £1,892. It was suspended during the Second World War. After the war, the vehicle toll was resumed but abolished in 1950. Marine Drive has been damaged, repaired and altered many times over the years. Among the more controversial changes was the replacement of the original iron railings with a concrete wall. Until then, cars driven too quickly, often by inexperienced boy racers, would crash through the barrier onto the rocks below. In the 1990s, Yorkshire Water constructed a pumping station on Marine Drive to carry the town’s sewage to a treatment plant disguised as a farm, on the cliffs north of Scalby Mills. The pumping station, which has a big storm overflow chamber, was recently enlarged. In 2003 and 2004, an armoured revetment using large concrete accropodes and lumps of Norwegian granite reinforced Marine Drive. It was deemed to be the most cost-effective and visually acceptable solution for Scarborough’s sea defences.

SCARBOROUGH Art Society is to hold its annual open-air sales exhibition from Saturday 15 August until Sunday 6 September. It will be in the ‘sunken gardens’ at the top of St Nicholas Cliff, near the Royal Hotel. The society’s roots go back to an art school once judged the second best in the country. Scarborough Art School was run for 35 years, until his death in 1917, by Albert Strange, an artist and yacht designer. Members, some of whom exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, met in the library. Mr Strange organised sketching outings which eventually led to a sketching club being formed in 1929. The club was renamed Scarborough Art Society in 1937. Members met in a first-floor room above Boothby’s garage on the corner of Vernon Road. The site is now occupied by Premier Inn. The art school was bombed during WW2. Tutors and pupils gritted teeth and continued to sketch outdoors but limited their artistic endeavours to each other’s
gardens and once staged an exhibition in an attic. In 1959, Scarborough Corporation asked the society to hold twice-a-year exhibitions in the sunken gardens. In recent years the springtime outing was scrapped due to the unpredictability of the weather. The remaining sunken garden exhibition takes place during summer. The rest of the year is spent at Queen Street Methodist Church, with monthly demonstrations by professionals. Yorkshire Coast College and its art and design department at Westwood are also direct descendants of the art school. A joint exhibition with Westwood at Scarborough Art Gallery is being planned for January 2016, thus continuing a linked history spanning a century. Barrie Petterson, the society’s publicity officer, hopes exhibition sales will be healthy and that membership increases. n For more details, visit www.scarboroughartsociety.co.uk or ring 361117 or 377299.
Race along to charity event at the Commercial by Pete Spence [email protected]
A CHARITY race night in aid of Scarborough Whitby and Ryedale Mind will take place at the Commercial on Falsgrave on Friday August 14. The race night is being organised by former Mayor of the Borough of Scarborough, Pat Marsburg and Commercial landlady, Kay Youngson. The fun gets under way at 7.30pm and stakes are just £1 per horse.
BRIGHT sunshine boosted attendance at the Big Gig at Woodend in Scarborough. Scores of adults and children turned out for the annual picnic organised by the town branch of the human-rights group Amnesty International. The first and last of many performers playing for free was DJ Mister Tooley, fulfilling a pledge made on Facebook: “As the government are out to scrap the Human Rights Act, I'm going to include a bunch of records themed on freedom, liberty, civil rights and social justice in my sets.” Next came a quintet comprised of Mike Gordon, who chairs the local branch of Amnesty and compered the event, on keyboards, Bob Walker on bass, Ian chalk on trumpet, Tom Mellor of Wold Top Brewery on guitar and Tom Townsend on drums. Led by Mark Gordon on keyboards, most of the 24-voice SJT Funky Choir turned out to sing songs like Blackbird, Better Every Day, Rolling on a River, Crazy Love, I Say a Little Prayer, Uprising, You Can Call Me Al, etc. They were followed by the SJT Youth Choir and the Den houseband, featuring Tom Townsend, Rowan Oliver, Nick
Tom Townsend and daughter Thea. (To order these photos, please ring 353597). Boyes and Mark Gordon. If Tom was any more laid back he'd fall over and it was lovely to see his young daughter spot her daddy and toddle across to say hello, mid-set. Playing guitar and vibraslap, he kicked off with BB King then sauntered through Sweet Home Chicago and on to Muddy Waters, Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison and others, each as mellow as the next. A raffle raised £350.
Fairy garden enchants children – and adults
Hayley Collier loves the fairy garden
Words and photos by Dave Barry
A MAGICAL fairy garden has appeared at the bottom of a felled tree on the former railway line at Cloughton. Miniature figures, flowers, fences, furniture, ladders and a wheelbarrow full of tiny pumpkins nestle among the exposed roots of the tree, which looks as if it may have blown over in a strong wind. Needless to say, the fairy garden has proved popular among children – but adults are just as enchanted. It was created by Marianne Pratt after telling her daughter Willow, 2, that fairies live in the tree, while walking their dog on the path. Marianne’s creation has been embellished by others. The fairy garden, near the Station café,
Fairy sign has a fairy postbox; any correspondence containing an address is replied to by the fairies. Hayley Collier, 6, and her brother Je, 4, who attend Newby & Scalby Primary School, were captivated.

Tales from cooler water 18 - Scarborough Review, August - Issue 24
by Steve Crawford
Well, allegedly summer is here in all its glory. The swifts are sailing up above, whales have been spotted off the Marine Drive, and the soporific drone of the insects lull us happily to thoughts of peace and tranquillity. So where is the sunshine? This year the jet stream, the high altitude winds that drive our weather, is fluctuating from north to south, so one week or so of settled weather is followed by a shift to cooler weather. It seems even us hardened East Coasters are feeling the bite of the unpredictable weather. One downside is that the heavy rain has affected water quality on some days. Be aware that after heavy rain it is a good idea to check SAS’s ‘safer seas’ service app for real time data, alternatively check Fluid Concept Surf Shop page on Facebook for local info, just to check before you take the plunge. A huge thanks to everyone who came to the Surfers Against Sewage / Barefoot Wine beach clean on 18 July. We had a cracking afternoon thanks to Jack and Brogan from SAS and Billy from Barefoot
wine who came all the way from way down South to organise and educate us at the event. 64 people came down to help and the weirdest find was an unidentified tooth, with the root still attached. The event was part of a national collaboration between SAS and Barefoot Wine to highlight the problems of litter on our beaches. On that note, something rather special happened in Newquay this month. Prince Charles met with SAS and other ocean charities as part of Ocean Plastics Awareness Day. The idea is to seek alternatives and solutions to the ever growing problem of marine litter. What we see on the beaches is really the teeniest tip of the iceberg and the real bulk is under the surface, out at sea. This event aimed to get companies, people and government involved and to start becoming part of the solution. One great example is Chicago the city decided to put a tax of 5c on each plastic bottle of water sold and put the money towards public water projects. So it raised......$38,000,000! Think on that.
Kyle and Christie go on the Yorkshire Coast Homes staff take run for the RNLI on the Three Peaks Challenge Report and photo by Scarborough RNLI press officer Dave Barry
Christie Milner and Kyle Patel in training.
TWO Scarborough lifeboat crew members are raising funds for the RNLI by competing in the Great North Run. Kyle Patel and Christie Milner will run 13.1 miles from Newcastle to South Shields on Sunday 13 September. Kyle, an executive chef at a big hotel, has been training for about a year and this will be his first half-marathon. Christie is a senior lifeguard and part of the RNLI’s community engagement team, with an educational role, visiting schools, etc. Her training involves the beach boot camp. Lifeboat operations manager John Senior said: “This is a really tough challenge and it’s great to see Kyle and Christie taking it on. So from those left behind, good luck and go like the wind!” * To sponsor Kyle and Christie, go to www. justgiving.com/Kyle-Patel and www.justgiving.com/Xti-Milner or make a donation at Scarborough shop, next to the building site where the new lifeboathouse is going up.
A GROUP of 30 Scarborough walkers have successfully completed the gruelling Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to raise around £3500 for a number of local and national charities. Yorkshire Coast Homes Health and Safety Manager Andy Turner and Assistant Director of Communities Sarah Bird hatched the idea of inviting colleagues and friends to put together three teams to tackle the 24 mile hike, which takes in the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. The Yorkshire Coast Homes, Sainsbury’s and Yorkshire Coast Radio teams braved high winds and wintry showers to complete the course, which includes almost 1600 metres of climbs and descents, with the fastest walkers reaching the finish in nine and a half hours. All funds raised will go to the Yorkshire Coast Homes Staff Charity Fund, which
The Team Yorkshire Coast Homes members at the start. has raised and distributed over £20,000 for local and national charities over the last two years. Joint event organiser Sarah Bird said, “We thought it would be a great team challenge and something a little bit different to what we have done previously to raise funds for the staff charity. It was also an excellent opportunity to get some of the partners we work with involved too.”

Springhead stages Mad Hatter’s tea party Words and main photo by Dave Barry
A SPECIALIST school in Scarborough has staged a Mad Hatter’s tea party. Sixth-form pupils at Springhead created a sculpture exhibition with an Alice in Wonderland theme, to celebrate the story’s 150th anniversary. The sculptures were made from a variety of media including recycled materials. Teacher Ginny Forrest said: “Both sixthform classes have been working hard on individual pieces since the beginning of term. It has been a wonderful experience for the pupils - many of whom have worked independently to create some lovely works of art”. The exhibition has been seen at St James’s Church and the Customer First centre at the town hall. Teacher Sara Pickering added: “It was so successful that it seemed such a shame to start dismantling all these amazing sculptures, which range from a giant white rabbit to tissue-paper rose trees.
We want the exhibition to reach a wider audience and are looking for a new venue or local business to display the work.” The exhibition has drawn high praise from visitors. Comments include: “Superb exhibition, lovely to see all the splendid work by Springhead students. Well done guys!” And: “A fantastic display – the amount of skill and creativity from all the artists is some of the best work I have ever seen”. In 2014, an Ofsted report described Springhead as an “outstanding” specialist school for cognition and learning for pupils aged between 2 and 19. The school welcomes new students aged 16 into its sixth form. They follow a balanced and varied three-year course of study which helps prepare them for the next phase of their lives. This includes further development of their maths, English and ICT skills, alongside developing independence, creativity and sport with a particular
focus on vocational studies. Head Teacher Debbie Wilson said: “What our students accomplish continually amazes me. They have been pleased and proud of their achievements, and they have used their skills and imagination to produce this wonderful exhibition. Even the British Museum has overlooked the 150th anniversary of the story of Alice in Wonderland, and has sent its display to New York! Hopefully our exhibition will inspire a new generation of children to read the story”.

YCH apprenticeship YMCA set to sizzle throughout the opens doors for Micha summer

Event organiser, former YCH apprentice Micha Stewart (pictured right of YCH Mascot Captain Keyple) with all the teams that took part in the YCH Sports Funday to raise funds for SWR Mind
19-YEAR-OLD Micha Stewart was unemployed and searching for work when she came across the Business Administration apprenticeship opportunities at Yorkshire Coast Homes (YCH). After a challenging interview process, Micha learned that she was one of five new apprentices that had been selected from almost 50 original applicants. Micha explained that she had gained so much from her YCH apprenticeship placement, such as getting used to working in an office environment and learning brand new skills. She said: ”Diversity is very important at YCH and apprentices are made to feel like equals. I loved that YCH hold many Community Days throughout the year, offering staff members a chance to break off from their everyday duties to make a difference in the local community. My own role within the YCH Community Involvement Team involved a lot of event planning, creativity and interaction with both tenants and the wider community – I really enjoyed it.” Micha seized the opportunity to show her initiative
at YCH and she even organised her own fundraising event. She added: “When I heard that Scarborough and Ryedale MIND needed more funding to keep their much needed service going I decided to plan an event to raise money. I organised a Sports Fun Day for staff and altogether we ended up raising a total of £1000.” Micha has now passed her Level 2 Business Administration NVQ and completed her 12 month apprenticeship at YCH. She has also successfully gained employment and is enjoying her new role. “I am so happy that I have kept my foot in the door and managed to secure a role at YCH’s new social enterprise project, the Bistro At The SJT. I am now in charge of the Coffee At The SJT takeaway café and I am really enjoying this new challenge. I hope to work for YCH for many years to come and I would definitely encourage anybody thinking about doing an apprenticeship to take the opportunity, as it has certainly opened many doors for me.”
THE School holidays may have kicked in, but at the Scarborough YMCA, activities will not be stopping, or even slowing down. The YMCA's town centre location will remain very much open over the next few weeks, with the Youth Club continuing to run on Thursday and Friday evenings throughout. Dave Hammond Even the high octane basketball club that runs on Tuesday nights will not be stopping, whatever the temperature reaches outside. With such a superb facility at the heart of the town, youth worker Dave Hammond is keen that the YMCA building gets full usage over the warm summer months. "I know a lot of activities drop off during the summer, often because of holidays, which result in falling numbers of attendees, but we want to keep our facilities going, so that if any young people are at a loose end, they can come down here in the evenings," said Dave. Even though the regular basketball season has finished, the members of the club said they wanted to keep training through the summer, so coach Martin Roberts will be in the house for the duration. Likewise the gym and games facilities that young people are taking up in greater numbers will also be available. "We have had a slow start to our Youth Club, but gradually more and more young people are coming in as word gets around," said Dave. "The hall is there to be used and once we drag out some of the equipment, like the table tennis set and crash mats, youngsters are having a great time. With a refreshment bar in the building as well, there is something for everybody." n For more information regarding activities ring 01724 374227.

Nursery enjoys safety workshop with RNLI Applications open for Scarborough UTC By Krystal Starkey
By Krystal Starkey
LIFEGUARDS from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution ran an interactive workshop at Green Hedges nursery about the importance of beach and sun safety. Whilst the lifeguards in Yorkshire run an annual programme called ‘Hit the Surf ’ for Yorkshire children aged between eight and eleven this is the first time that they have run a workshop for nursery aged children. Carol Morley, Green Hedges nursery manager, said: “ We were delighted that the Royal National Lifeboat Institution accepted our invitation to spend time with our children, and are very proud to be the first nursery to engage in this way. We feel that it is very important that our children are given opportunities to experience visits and understand how to stay safe on the beach, in the sun, and in the sea.” RNLI lifeguard supervisor, James Turner, talked to the children about safety and played a range of games with them. The children also had the opportunity to engage with the flags, try on the lifeguard beach equipment and look at an operational truck.
SCARBOROUGH University Technical College in Scarborough is advising students to apply early amid growing interest. The college is set to open in September 2016, following a significant government investment programme. The industry-orientated school will deliver courses to 14-18 year olds with The University of Hull as the lead education partner. The UTC will also be supported by international business such as McCain, Unison Ltd, Scarborough Borough Council, Castle, Dale Power Solutions and Deep Sea Electronics Tim Englefield, Principal Designate, said: “Our young people will learn using a modern curriculum blending traditional GCSE and A Level subjects, such as Maths, English and Science, alongside Engineering Technical qualifications. “Engineering, design and control careers are varied, in demand, with great potential and the perfect option for both girls and boys who have a desire to solve problems, use creative and investigative thought processes, and become inventors and innovators.” Applications to be part of the September 2016 intake must be made by 31st January 2016. There are limited places with only 200 openings. Students that live in Whitby, Malton, Bridlington, Filey, Pickering, Driffield, Scarborough and surrounding areas can apply. The building for Scarborough UTC will be part of a £45 million combined sports and education campus approved by the Scarborough Planning Committee. Students will be able to take advantage of the Sports Village and football ground, which will be situated on the old Weaponness Park and Ride site, close to the centre of Scarborough. n Students can find more information and apply at the newly developed Scarborough UTC website www.scarboroughutc.co.uk, where they can also download a prospectus.
CHILDCARE opTIoNS Each child is unique and when it comes to choosing childcare, you want to make the right decision. Here’s a brief glance at the different types of care available. NURSERY SCHOOLS
CHILDMINDERS Childminders are usually selfemployed and Ofsted-certified. They tend to work from their own homes. As the number of children a childminder can care for at any one time is limited to six, under eight years of age, this might be a good choice for kids that like smaller groups and homely settings. Also childminders can work at irregular hours, so if your job is outside of the standard 9am-5pm this could be the option for you.
Nursery schools offer full or half day care for children aged 3-5. Many are state-run, which means they will be free, but private Nursery Schools will often charge per term. Find out by speaking to the school you're interested in.
PLAYGROUPS Often organised by community volunteers and other parents, these groups place emphasis on play and social interaction, allowing your child to get hands-on with different toys and activities. They can run for just a few hours during term time and can be great as irregular childcare.
DAY NURSERIES Day nurseries are popular as they offer all day care for people who work the regular 9-5. Usually day
nurseries have plenty of staff so they can look after children of a range of ages. Day nursery can sometimes be expensive so it’s worth enquiring first. Before and after school clubs Often run by schools themselves, they offer a chance for children aged 3 - 14, to catch up on homework and play together. Some schools even have dedicated breakfast clubs to set your child up for the day.
NANNIES AND AU-PAIRS If you’re looking for one-on-one care in your own home, then a nanny or an au-pair might be the right choice. This can be great for the child as they get a lot of attention and build a strong bond with their carer, but obviously prices can be very high.

SCARBOROUGH Athletic Football Club has done a deal with North Yorkshire-based business Derwent Training Association to sponsor the under-18 team, and in return apprentices will be given reduced admission to Athletic's home games. Scarborough Athletic Football Club and Derwent Training Association were introduced by Third Energy who has a strong relationship with both organisations: Derwent supplies apprentices to Third Energy; and Third Energy recently renewed their sponsorship of Athletic’s shirts which has been running for the last three years. Boro joint-manager Bryan Hughes fully supports this new, cut-price match day experience for apprentices. He said:“As a community-focused club, we are delighted to partner with Derwent Training Association. We share the same desire to raise training and aspiration amongst local youngsters. Hopefully the enthusiasm we show on the pitch will be mirrored in the trainees and vice-versa.” Derwent Training Association provides industry-led training in partnership with employers and other providers, including Third Energy. Based in purpose-built facilities in Malton, Derwent is funded by the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) and is a Centre of Vocational Excellence and OFSTED grade II education provider. Brokering the deal also led to Derwent sponsoring Scarborough Athletic's Under 18s. John Brockett, general manager said: “What we share with Scarborough Athletic is a desire to enable young people to achieve their maximum potential and encourage them to stay in the area and contribute to the local economy.” Third Energy facilitated the arrangement as part of its commitment to developing young people in the community.

Open day success for Coventry University Scarborough Campus
Professor Craig Gaskell (centre) with Danielle Hatton and Bobbie Moorhouse amongst a sand sculpture showing a desk, seat and huge University scroll created by Sand In Your Eye on South Bay beach for the open event THE first major open event for the new Coventry University Scarborough Campus has been hailed as a great success by the organisers. The open day and launch of the new courses at Scarborough Spa attracted hundreds of people and the University received more than 100 serious enquiries – with around 20 signing up for courses on the spot. Professor Craig Gaskell, Provost of Coventry University Scarborough Campus, said: “We are delighted with the numbers and mix of people who
came to see what we are offering. The message that we are coming to town and are bringing a new way of learning has certainly hit home and been very well received.” Based upon the high-quality and low-cost career focused model of higher education pioneered in Coventry, the new university aims to address the employment and skills needs of the Yorkshire Coast as well as attracting students from the wider Yorkshire region and beyond. Courses will be delivered during the first academic year of 2015/16 from landmark venues in Scarborough ahead of the new £14 million purpose-built university campus aimed to open in September 2016, as part of the planned new sports and education facility on the former Weaponness park and ride site in the town. Applications through UCAS are now being taken for courses available from this September including management and leadership, health, childhood development, accounting, law and policing.

STARS shine brightly at top awards ceremony by Pete Spence [email protected]
Enjoying the big night at the STARS awards ceremony
THE inaugural STARS ceremony which celebrated the success of apprentices in Scarborough and surrounding areas was a resounding success. The event was held at the Royal Hotel in Scarborough and was attended by the Mayor of Scarborough Cllr Tom Fox and the Lady Mayoress Ros Fox. The event had the support of Yorkshire Coast Homes, National Apprenticeship Service, Scarborough Borough Council, YH Training Services, Dalby Offshore, Yorkshire Coast College and
such a high-profile wedding, and I was very proud to be a part of the Interflora team. When I was asked to do it I was not even told who it was for at first as it was all very hush-hush due to the deal with Hello Magazine.” The ceremony between the two TV stars was held at St Mary’s Church in Bury St Edmunds. Beautiful bride Michelle carried a white hydrangea and double lisianthus bridal bouquet complete with diamanté and pearl pins, whilst groom Mark chose to wear three heads of white double lisianthus in his buttonhole, along with brother and best man Joshua Wright. A total of 22 12ft flower trees featuring lanterns lined the walkway of the chapel aisle, combining white hydrangeas, roses, delphiniums, bloom chrysanthemums, carnations and lilies. Following the ceremony, the newlyweds and guests moved to nearby Hengrave Hall for the wedding breakfast and reception. Kate added: “The colour scheme and choice of delicate flowers combined with green ferns and moss created a beautiful floral backdrop for the wedding. It was a one off experience for me and I doubt I will get the opportunity to experience anything similar. It was a wonderful experience.”

Protect your shed from thieves this summer By Krystal Starkey
SCARBOROUGH’s Community Impact Team is warning residents to keep sheds secure following a number of burglaries in Eastfield. Statistically, thieves are more likely to target sheds, outbuildings and garages than homes. Scarborough Borough Council are giving away free UV pens, which residents can use to mark more expensive property with their house number and postcode. They are available from the Customer First centre on St Nicholas Street, though supplies are limited. The multi-agency Community Impact Team, part of the borough’s Safer Communities Partnership, also wants residents to take other precautions, including: • • •
Putting away any equipment that could be used to help a criminal break in, such as a spade or trowel Installing outside lighting, even battery powered lights or solar lights Fitting a mortise lock or padlock to sheds and outbuildings that are not secure
Sgt Chris Gosling from North Yorkshire Police said: “Making life more difficult for the criminal, to keep them out of your home or outbuildings, really needn’t be as difficult or costly as you might think. “If you need crime prevention advice or have other questions, our local police community support officers would be more than happy to come out and speak to you.”

The weeping elm in Dean Road
Words and photos by Dave Barry
A LONG campaign to save one of Scarborough’s favourite trees has taken a leap forward. A temporary tree-preservation order (TPO) has been granted for the weeping-wych elm in Dean Road. The tree, thought to be one of the most attractive in the town, came under threat when Tesco obtained planning permission for a large supermarket. The retail giant wanted to build another supermarket on a large site on both sides of Trafalgar Street West, which would have had to close. A four-year, grass-roots battle by Scarborough Town Against Tesco Store (Stats) resulted in a public inquiry into the proposed road closure and was followed by the withdrawal of the controversial Tesco plan. In 2013, David Alderman of the Tree Register UK, travelled from Bedfordshire to Yorkshire to inspect the tree. He said it was the largest of its kind in Yorkshire and the sixth largest in England. It is thought to have been planted when a workhouse opened in 1859. Mr Alderman added it to the Tree Register’s list of “champion trees”, stating that it “looks healthy and vigorous and is growing well.” The temporary TPO was granted on 19 June, with four weeks allowed for anyone to object.
Scarborough Council planning manager David Walker said: “We have not received any objections and will therefore be considering whether to make the TPO on the weeping elm permanent in due course.” A decision would be made by 20 August, he said. The site is owned by healthcare and property company Assura Properties, based in Warrington. It was previously used as St Mary’s Hospital (demolished in 2001), a workhouse and a market garden. It is now being used as a pay-and-display carpark, although planning permission has not been granted. A carboot sale is held there on Sundays. Mr Walker added: “Regarding the car park operating on the site, we have informed the landowner of the need for planning permission.” The tree is on a raised roundabout, contained by a circular brick wall. It has branches that extend out horizontally with weeping branchlets. The species was described by 19th century botanist John Loudon as “a beautiful tree generally growing to one side, spreading its branches out in a fan-like manner, sometimes horizontally and at other times almost perpendicularly downwards so that the head of the tree exhibits great variety of shape”.
Hanging baskets getting plenty of attention
GARDENS across the town are looking great at the moment and, even though the weather hasn’t really settled, at least it’s warm and unsettled rather than cold, wet and miserable! The
Muck and Magic gardeners have been out and about and have noticed that hanging baskets are doing well this year, probably due to the type of weather we have been experiencing. But how does the savvy gardener keep his baskets flowering well into autumn? Here are a few tips. First of all and most importantly - don’t forget the watering. It’s almost impossible to overwater a hanging basket so get as much moisture in as possible. Everyday watering is essential as those roots will be crammed into a small space and competing with each other for water. Don’t rely on rainy days to do the work for you. Keep up to date with picking off dead heads as this will encourage new buds to develop. Feeding with a high potash feed such as liquid tomato food will also promote and prolong healthy flowers. It’s at this time of the year that the Head Gardener in the Muck and
Magic garden will be seen pushing a few nasturtium seeds into the edges of the baskets. These seeds will produce flowers as your petunias and geraniums are beginning to run out of steam and so extend your colour season a bit longer. Elsewhere in the garden faded blooms from roses can be removed and stems pruned back to a good strong side shoot. This will encourage late flowering and give a good shape to the bush. If you haven’t got round to tidying up the spring aubrietia it’s not too late to cut it hard back, and don’t forget to keep feeding the sunflowers. The Muck and Magic “Challenge The Experts” competition is still accepting entries from gardeners who think that they can be crowned champion sunflower grower for 2015. You can send your entries, and those for biggest pumpkin, to [email protected].
We are deliciously deep in raspberrys at the moment but as soon as canes have fruited they are cut back to base and new shoots tied in ready for another bumper crop next year. This is, of course, the best way to look after summer fruiting rasps. If you have autumn raspberries leave the canes till mid winter and then cut them all down to ground level. If you have a question for the muck and magic gardeners you can contact us at scarboroughinbloom2@hotmail. co.uk and we will do our best to help solve your gardening conundrums!

Ploughing straight furrows for hospice in Cayton
Contestants prepare for battle
The ploughing match in full swing
Mick Berriman is watched closely.
Old farming equipment on display
Report and photos by Dave Barry
IDEAL conditions prevailed at the 17th annual ploughing match near Cayton on Saturday. “There was more moisture than expected,” pointed out seasoned veteran Mick Berriman, who won his category for the third year on the trot. Mick, of Barr Farm near Driffield, said that last year the ground was too dry and consequently hard to plough. This year, the Ferguson two-furrow plough
pulled by his 63-year-old Grey Ferguson TE20 tractor sliced through the earth with ease, in nice straight lines. Mick was followed, up and down the furrows, by his equally faithful and trusty 10-year-old springer spaniel Milly, who was looking for mice put up by the vibrations. Organised by Terry and Molly Oakley and Eddie Brown, the ploughing match and vintage working day, in fields off Mill Lane, is in aid of St Catherine’s Hospice. Besides the ploughing match, the popular
Melanie Scott, left, and Jennie Jackson were collecting for the hospice and air ambulance event featured a tractor run, working shire horses, steam engines, vintage cars, motor bikes and commercial vehicles. Other attractions included bouncy castles, face painting, stalls, raffles, a tombola and an auction.

Raising funds to promote research Words and photo by Dave Barry
STAFF, residents and visitors of a Scarborough housing complex have raised £1,000 for four charities. The conditions represented by the charities affect many of the residents at Cedar Court, run by Hanover Housing. The money was raised via Cedar Court’s Gladrags, launched two years ago by estate manager Carolyn Beat and resident Doreen Lilley. New and used clothing and accessories are donated by residents and families, then
sold on two days a week. In this way, £3,200 has been raised for charities or emergency fundraising appeals. On this occasion, the £1,000 was shared equally between the local branches of the Macular Society, Parkinson’s UK, the National Osteporosis Society and the Alzheimer’s Society. Carolyn said Gladrags is always looking for volunteers. If you would like to help, ring 361781.
Scarborough Strata ONE of the great things about geology is that it is visible everywhere you look, even if there are no rocks, cliffs or beaches in sight. This is because it literally underpins all of the world around us, from the forces that build and shape our landscape, to the building stones used for our houses, though to controlling the very soils that we grow our crops in. We are very lucky living on such spectacular coastline where we can see plenty of geology, but it is also interesting to keep your eyes open for some more hidden geology. The first example I want to give you is our very own Castle Headland. Have you ever wondered why it is there? Essentially the headland exists due to a series of

geological faults, active millions of years ago that literally dropped the great mass of the Headland down, putting the harder rocks that form the Headland alongside softer rocks either side. The softer rocks have then eroded more quickly, giving us the two Bays of the town. The geological fault responsible for this movement runs right under the Castle gatehouse, but it has been inactive for many millions of years, so no earthquakes to worry about! Another classic local example of hidden geology is our local building stones, it perhaps seems obvious, but local villages gather much of their distinctiveness from their local building stone, so the honey coloured middle Jurassic sandstones (the very same age rocks as those
that contain dinosaur footprints) of places like Burniston and Cloughton are very different to the villages on the edge of the Wolds, where chalk, flint and brick dominate. Town centres are also great places to spot geology, and in particular keep an eye on the floors of new shopping centres, they are often home to spectacular polished limestones, marbles and other beautiful geology. We are now busy with all our summer trips, so if you would like to see some of our stunning local geology then visit www.hiddenhorizons.co.uk and see if there is a trip you fancy.

The scarecrows are back in Muston! Words and photos by Dave Barry
Muston’s annual scarecrow festival is back. This year, over 100 scarecrows are entertaining thousands of visitors to the small village near Filey. The festival, which runs until Sunday (2 August), features a scarecrow which stands at 7ft 7in, the same height as Britain’s tallest man. A sign next to him states: “The world’s shortest man is 21.5in tall”. Visitors are invited to measure their height on a pole next to the scarecrow. Nearby, in a display based on modern interpretations of old fairy tales, is an adult Red Riding Hood, an ugly Sleeping Beauty, a horrified prince, an old woman with bairns, the Jeremy Kyle Show and the Great Muston Bake-off. Around the corner, visitors can find Minions do Countdown, Nanny McPhee, land girls, a marathon runner crossing the finishing line– and many more besides.
The scarecrows, most made using papier mâché, are all around the village, on pavements and rooves, in gardens and hedges and on open spaces such as the village green and grass verges. Cllr Godfrey Allanson, one of the organisers, said: “We always know when the scarecrow festival is just around the corner when we see exceptional levels of activity in the village as the community works hard to prepare to welcome thousands of visitors. “The villagers are also busy behind closed doors working on their show-stopping scarecrows, keeping their plans secret right up until the last minute. However, I have discovered that Dr Who will land his Tardis on the village green to defend residents and visitors from Cybermen and Daleks!” The owner of the winning scarecrow will receive £150.

English Heritage gets involved at Scarborough Food Fair!
By Krystal Starkey
ENGLISH Heritage, which cares for Scarborough’s iconic 12th century castle, sold its foodie wares at Scarborough’s Food Fair for the first time on Saturday 18 July. A special guest arrived in the form of a monk serving delicious mead to customers to help promote the event. English Heritage, which looks after 400
historic buildings, monuments and sites, sold homemade fruit wines, mead, jams, chutneys and curds direct to the foodie folk of Scarborough from its stall in Westborough. The stall was one of nearly 20 that took pride of place in the town centre as the sun shone down on Scarborough. Simon Roe, Site Manager at Scarborough Castle, said: “Taking part in the Scarborough Food Fair is the ideal opportunity to ‘spread the word’ about our work at Scarborough Castle. “Our special guest helped us promote the work of English Heritage as well as allow customers to try the products. It was an ideal mix of food, history and heritage on the streets of Scarborough.” The next Scarborough Food Fair will take place on Saturday 15 August.
Plenty to see at Model Railway Exhibition by Pete Spence [email protected]
NO doubt, many will recognise the North Yorkshire Moors Railway’s (NYMR) celebrity station Goathland which featured as Aidensfield in the ITV programme Heartbeat and as Hogsmeade Station in the first Harry Potter film. But is this the real thing? Visitors to the Pickering Model Railway Exhibition on the 22 & 23 August are in for a treat as the Scarborough & District Railway Modellers (SDRM) have created this iconic NYMR station and are inviting visitors to look a little more closely. John Bruce, Goathland’s Station Master and a NYMR volunteer for over 40 years, is delighted with the results of the SDRM’s hard work, and said: “The likeness is remarkable and it is a very accurate representation of Goathland Station and the many stories depicted in the model help to bring it to life.” Mike Johnson, Chairman of the Scarborough & District Railway
Goathland miniature Modellers, said “We take immense pride in exhibiting the best of layouts, our own and those of our invited guests. Over the exhibition weekend, visitors can see what is really possible in the miniature world. Why not make a day of it? Come visit our show and then take a trip on the NYMR. Their station is just around the corner from our venue.” Goathland is one of ten working model railways on display at the Pickering Model Railway Exhibition taking place at the Memorial Hall in Pickering, on Saturday 22 August 10am – 5pm and on Sunday 23 August from 10am – 4pm.

Words and photo by Dave Barry
A MURDER-MYSTERY evening with a gangsters-and-molls theme had everyone laughing. It was presented at the Esplanade Hotel by Scarborough’s Limelight Company. Limelight was launched 23 years ago by Colette Timmons, who says: “I started it as a hobby but it snowballed.” The company has a roll call of 60 skilled and enthusiastic actors from an area reaching as far as Newcastle in the north, Sheffield in the south and Manchester in the west. The five-strong cast at the Esplanade consisted of Mark Palmer as Jitters, Mark Wadsworth as Gripper Grey, Barbara Pearson as Ma Edna Grey, Mike Prior as Slasher Grey and Colette Timmons as Diva Dorothy. The company promises “unforgettable
evenings of laughter and excitement. The emphasis for the evening is fun, with a great deal of audience participation. “We can guarantee that you and your guests will return home having had a thoroughly enjoyable night to remember.” The scripts are full of off-the-wall humour, nothing serious, nothing to offend - just slapstick and interactive fun. There are plots and subplots, red herrings and pink flamingoes, with tongue-in-cheek innuendo and a belly full of laughs. “Our murder mystery events are ideal for mini-breaks for coach operators, social functions for clubs and societies, corporate entertainment, teambuilding, private celebrations and fundraising events.” The Esplanade has become a regular venue for Limelight, which is planning similar events at the hotel. n Limelight’s website is at thelimelightcompany.com.
LADIES and gentlemen please put your hands together for the musical sensation that is Senior Moments. When six local retired people came together in 2011 to perform in a few local care and nursing homes, little did they realise that four years later they would be constantly booked out. Not looking for financial reward for delivering enjoyment and laughter, they have donated any payments received to Saint Catherine’s Hospice. To date they have raised an amazing £4,000. By bringing old style music, songs from a bygone era, reading poetry, performing skits and sketches, they have helped to brighten the lives of many residents. Front man Derek McNally, who performs with his wife and friends said: “We love

Confusions sets the standards at the SJT Review by Archie Parcell
SIR Alan Ayckbourn is a master at portraying human emotions wrapped up in comic situations and the revival of his 1974 play Confusions is the perfect vehicle to show off his abundant talents, as well as a fitting way to celebrate Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre's 60th anniversary. Confusions' five playlets were first premiered at Scarborough's Library Theatre and although much of the humour is of its time there are still plenty of laughs to be had more than 40 years on. Themes throughout the loosely-linked but self-contained acts are typical of Ayckbourn - loneliness and isolation, hypocrisy, domestic unhappiness and the general frailty of human relationships. The whole array of emotions are there in some form, from the opening 'Mother Figure' who is so consumed by looking after her kids that she can only relate to her nextdoor neighbours as children, to the philandering salesman in 'Drinking Companion', whose hotel chat-up lines are too much for two perfume reps,
Ayton art exhibition well worth a look
and on to the adulterous wife so bored with her career-obsessed husband that she has an affair with his ageing boss in 'Between Mouthfuls' - the pick of the quintet of scenes with the five actors each playing their part to perfection. Top that up with the farcical 'Gosforth's Fete' and its repercussions of a faulty Tannoy system, before leading on to the poignant finale of 'A Talk in the Park' with five characters not wishing to communicate and sitting alone on park benches, and you have an evening of top entertainment, although the five acts together perhaps lack a combined unifying force. The actors make the most of every opportunity to show of their range of talents, with the 20 characters portrayed by a cast of just five Richard Stacey, Stephen Billington, Emma Manton, Russell Dixon and Elizabeth Boag - a former pupil at Lady Lumley's in Pickering and a talented actress who is fast becoming a Stephen Joseph Theatre regular. Confusions runs until September 26 but dates need to be checked for which nights the play is on.

AYTON Art Club put on a fine display when they held an exhibition in the village. The event took place at the village hall and featured a range of exhibitors. Auctioneer David Duggleby officially opened the exhibition which attracted a lot of interest. Organiser Anne Dargue said: “We were absolutely thrilled with the exhibition and it was fantastic to see so many there for the opening. “A big thank you to David who spoke very well and helped set the tone for the event. There was lots of interest and some very positive comments on the art on display.” Jean Raine, of Ayton, was exhibiting some of her pottery work which she has been producing now for over 50 years and has attended 48 of the exhibitions in total. She said: “It is wonderful to see that there are so many talented people out there still prepared to show off their work in a lovely village venue. “I have been doing this for years and always look forward to this coming around.” If you would like to order any pictures taken by Pete Spence in the Scarborough Review then please email: [email protected] or ring 07815 290457.

Another year, another terrific Seafest
Scarborough Review, August - Issue 24 33
Words and photos by Dave Barry
SUN and rain, ukuleles and Americana, exotic food and gulls’ feet: this year’s Seafest had it all. The highlights included Some Like it Ossett, aka the Scarborough Harbour Palava, as it was dubbed by a spectator, at the request of leader Jacqui Wickes. Over 30 ukulele players took part and had a hoot, watched by a full tent early on Saturday afternoon, with boozers baking outside. The maritime set featured mass-ukulele
renditions of The Tide is High, What Shall we do With the Drunken Sailor, Octopus's Garden, Under the Boardwalk and, almost inevitably, I do Like to be Beside the Seaside. That evening, Americana trio American Echoes - Jesse Hutchinson, Sean Conroy and Joe Thornton - accompanied their high-octane blend of bluegrass, alt.country and rock ‘n’ roll covers with much whoopin’ and a-hollerin’. It went down a storm. Sunday’s top spots included quickfire stand-up poetry courtesy of A Firm of
Poets, ranging in tone from witty and hilarious to sombre and thoughtful. Jesse Hutchinson’s solo set featured about a dozen young children dancing between stage and audience, as the rain came on and gulls padded across the tent roof, with only their disembodied webbed orange feet visible below. Everyone Loves Ernie, fronted by Damion Pickup, sang laid-back covers such as the Jackson Five’s I Want You Back, Wham's I'm Your Man, Jacko’s Billie Jean and, with Ernie on low-down vocals, Fever. Sharing the Seafest bill, and enjoyed by most people present, were Mister Tooley, Tom Davenport, North of the Wall, the Demimondaines, the Two Tones, Dan Lumley, SJT Youth Choir, Ross Dransfield, the Rockin’ Hillbilly Blues Band, Connor & Nathan, Billy Neilson & John Cunworth,
Ben Lane, the Railroad Hoboes, Spearmint Rock, Hope & Social, Grand Theft Audio, Jessie Law, Chu Ma Shu – and fireworks. The music and beer tent was much smaller than usual, because of the space taken up on the West Pier by the lifeboathouse builders. A much larger tent was allocated to the traders of fudge, pies and pictures, the Maritime Heritage Centre and cookery demonstrations. Food stalls sold Thai, Spanish and Jamaican street-nosh. Over on the north wharf, the Whale was the world’s smallest theatre, with just enough room for a performer and an audience of three. The adjacent tent accommodated workshops and a fascinating geology display.

Neville’s Island set to stand alone at SJT Daniel Crowder will play the lead role
Jamie Chapman
THE Stephen Joseph Theatre revives a hit comedy from the award-winning writer of Calendar Girls as its celebratory 60th summer season continues. Tim Firth’s Neville’s Island was first shown at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in the Round at Westwood in June 1992 and has since continued to be staged throughout the world. It is being revived for the first time by the SJT and runs in the Round from 6 to 27 August in Scarborough, directed by the theatre’s Associate Director Henry Bell. Four out-of-condition, middle-aged businessmen are sent off on a team building exercise in the Lake District
where they succeed in being the first people ever to get shipwrecked on an island on Derwentwater. Director Henry Bell said: “Tim Firth has a mastery of tone and Neville’s Island is very, very funny but it can really shock an audience too. It also deals with big ideas whilst observing the more mundane elements of human life.” Daniel Crowder plays the title role and returns to the SJT where he last appeared in the world premiere of Tim Firth’s The Safari Party, directed by Alan Ayckbourn, in 2003. Craig Cheetham makes his SJT debut as Gordon. He can currently be heard on Radio 4 in the afternoon drama Stone and seen on Channel 4’s The Offence. Jamie Chapman comes to the SJT fresh from recording for Catherine Tate’s new series of Nan for the BBC. John Last takes on the role of Angus and will also perform on the SJT stage for the first time. n Neville’s Island can be seen at the SJT from Thursday 6 to Thursday 27 August. Tickets, priced from £10 to £24.50, are available from the Box Office on 01723 370541 and online at www.sjt.uk.com.
Janine’s forest wins £4,000 award Sponsored by the Haworth Trust, the prize is for young artists (aged 35 and under) living and working in the North, creating work inspired by their surroundings. Janine, 35, says: “There are so many beautiful landscapes in Yorkshire I love but Cropton Forest in North Yorkshire is one of my favourites. It offers a beguiling mix of intense darkness between the trees and patches of sunlight dappling the forest floor. “There are multiple layers within this landscape – tall linear tree forms, overgrown scrubland and deeply entrenched paths. To depict these layers in my work, as well as convey life and movement, I have made grooves in the surface of the paper and layered with charcoal, graphite and pastel. Above all I hope to capture the essence of Cropton Forest and the sense of peace and tranquillity it evokes". New English Art Club president Richard Pikesley, who was on the selection panel, said: “We chose Cropton Forest I as the winning piece because of its strength and immediacy, the observational quality of its drawing and for the haunting atmosphere it creates looking through the woodland.” Janine Baldwin, centre, with her winning Janine creates paintings, prints and works picture and members of the Haworth Trust. on paper inspired by the landscapes and by Dave Barry seascapes of Yorkshire.

Rounding up for final time after three decades at Shire Horse Farm
Words & pictures by Pete Spence [email protected]
TONY Jenkins is bringing his rein at Staintondale Shire Horse Farm to an end after 30 memorable years. The flamboyant entertainer and horse breeder has been welcoming visitors to his top attraction for three decades but Tony and wife Ann have decided that this will be their final season as an attraction. Tony said: “We felt that with this being the 30 year anniversary then it would be a fitting way to bring it to and end. We are just going to open Sundays until the end of August so that for those who have never been here, there is still that opportunity.” The business was started in 1985 when Tony was breeding a few shire horses and needed some extra income to support this. He said: “I got the inspiration from going to the Great Yorkshire Show when I a Shire filly with me. I was so overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and love from both young and old people for the horses, I
decided to open my farm to visitors to come and see them. It made me somewhat a pioneer at he time as farm attractions were unheard of. “What started as a small enterprise, and grew quickly to the point where we were getting 20,000 visitors each season. “My passion and love for the business also encouraged me to write and in total I have now done five books which have sold over 4,000 copies of in total. “The farm has won numerous awards including a Yorkshire Tourist Board White Rose and various other accolades. “The thing I will miss the most is the people. We have had some great people visit us over the years and I absolutely love sharing my passion with them all. “I am 84-years-old in November so I think it is the correct thing to do. We will certainly be going out in high spirits though and look forward to the final ride. This business has provided me with a wonderful life and I would not change any of it.” A great display from Burtie Boy

Scarborough Cycling Festival gathering momentum
Words by Pete Spence [email protected]
SCARBOROUGH Cycling Festival is set to be bigger and better than ever when it gathers pace in August. The event takes place over two days on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 August at venues including Oliver’s Mount, Hairy Bob’s Skate Park and Weaponness Car Park. It all gets underway bright and early on the Saturday with the family breakfast ride at 7am from the car park. Other activitites on the first day take place
at Hairy Bob’s Skate Park on Marine Drive and a cycle sportive activity for all ability levels. There is also a quiz taking place at the Mount in the evening. Sunday sees the closed circuit race action at Oliver’s Mount, running from 9.30am right through to 4.15pm. There is also a ‘come and try it’ hill climb and much more throughout the day. One of the event organisers Bryden Simpson said: “As part of the Scarborough Cycling Festival we are proud to host the Sportive d’Scarborough. We welcome riders of all abilities to take part in our two routes. “We have a 60 mile route and a 30 mile (approx) shorter route, for those who just wish to get on a bike and challenge themselves. The shorter route is aimed at Sportive first timers. Road bikes, hybrids, or MTB can be used here. Breeze Riders are most welcome as are teams from sports clubs and groups of friends. “Enjoy the scenery of the East Coast taking in Hunmanby, the rolling Yorkshire Wolds and returning to Scarborough. Several sections of the route were used on the Tour De Yorkshire.” n For further details please go to: www. scarboroughfestivalofcycling.co.uk

A YOUNG football referee from Scarborough was one of four North of England officials to have made a step forwards towards the top. The next Jeff Winter or Mike Riley may just be around the corner as four of the region’s most promising young referees returned from the heat of European competition with glowing praise ringing in their ears. After a gruelling selection and training process, the four North Riding County FA teenage referees, Dane McCarrick and Tim Craig, both 19 from Middlesbrough, Jonty Gill also 19 from Northallerton and

Guided by the county’s Referee Development Officer Ross Joyce and Development Coach Andy Himsworth, the officials excelled in temperatures exceeding 35C, drawing praise from all corners and receiving plum appointments to semi-final games for the week long competition. George Roberts added, “This was a first class experience, not only just to officiate abroad but also to compete with the difficulties of language barriers and having to officiate with referees from other countries.” North Riding County FA Referee Development Officer, Ross Joyce added: “Without doubt this tournament has been the most powerful piece of referee development we have undertaken in the last eight years.” “As a sign of how well all four referees performed, each was awarded with a plum semi-final appointment so it was very encouraging.”

Memorial match day a fitting tribute to Andrew Words & pictures by Pete Spence [email protected]
THE Andrew McGeown Memorial Pink Princess Party at Eastway Sports proved to be a resounding success. The 32-year-old Scarborough man tragically lost his life in February this year when he was swept out to sea attempting to rescue his beloved pet dog Arnold.
Andrew was a big Scarborough Pirates rugby league fan and a fan of all things pink so the Pink Princess Party and Memorial Match was created. Tina Boden, one of the organisers, said: “It was a fitting tribute to Andrew and people turned out in force to show their respects and have a great day. “The weather was spot on and perfect for
watching some rugby and enjoying the BBQ and refreshments. “We were raising money for the RNLI who made a brave attempt to save Andrew's life, and we raised almost one and a half thousand pounds, which was magnificent. “We are in the process of setting up The Andrew McGeown legacy which will continue to raise money for charity. “I would like to thank everyone who supported this event and it was truly a brilliant day in memory of a wonderful guy.” Both Pirates A and first teams were in action losing 30-26 and 25-10 respectively.

THE Barons Walking Footballers are looking good after landing some nifty new all-weather training tops. The group were asked by one of their own members if his business could sponsor them. Thomas Owen Gillon Sports Injury Clinic have provided the tops which will help the team as they get set for the winter months. Colin Bayes of Barons Walking Football, said: “Thomas has been with us since
March 2013 and he had the idea of sponsoring some tops for us. It was a lovely thing to do and it means we look very smart and professional when we are competing. We are playing the Grimsby Ancient Mariners in September so it will be an opportunity to wear them then. “Everyone at Barons would like to thanks Thomas for his great support.” Barons Walking Football is on every Tuesday and Thursday morning at Scarborough Rugby Club. n For more information ring 01723 377545.

Darts fan John still on target after 56 years
John Gowan
Words & picture by Pete Spence [email protected]
JOHN Gowan has been involved in the local darts scene for a staggering 56 years and coming up to his 80th birthday this year, has no ideas of stepping down. John first played darts in Scarborough in 1959 for the
Trafalgar after coming out of the army. He said: “I lived on Hoxton Road at the time and the Traf is just round the corner. One day when I was in there the landlady Dianne Lofthouse asked me if I fancied playing darts as they were often short. I had never really played the game at all until that point but over 50 years later am still involved.” John played for a successful Traf team for several years before work commitments and a move to Eastfield meant he gave up the game for a while. A move back to Scarborough saw John set up the SubAqua Club with friends Jim Lassie and Stan Bradley, so he also played for them and the Conservative Club after. It was in the early 80s when John began his work away from the oche. He added: “I was asked to be secretary for the club’s league and thought I would give it a go as although I was no longer playing, I was enjoying the social side of the game and my wife Ann was still heavily involved. 35 years later I am still involved and am President of the Yorkshire Darts Committee. I have also played a lot of
pool and snooker over the years and still play snooker now at the Conservative Club and enjoy it.” John, who went to the Scarborough Boys High School, married his wife Ann in 1959 and their love of darts meant they spent most of their social time together and got to travel all around the country as part of the Yorkshire set-up. John, who was a science and engineering lecturer at the old technical college, said: “We had some wonderful times and met some very special people. After Ann passed we changed the name of one of the leagues to the Ann Gowan Darts and Dominoes League and it has been that way for the past 10 years now.” John and friend Brian Robinson even started up the Sunday Pool League in the Scarborough area in 1990 which is still very popular today. John added: “The sport has been a massive part of my life, from a 23-year-old walking into the Traf right until approaching my 80th birthday this November. And I would not change it for the world.”

can to support him during his recovery. “It was great to see the likes of Neil Warnock, Colin Appleton, Steve Norris, Alan Kamara and many many more all get together and talk about old times. There were quite a few of the later generation of Boro players too such as Mark Hotte, Leigh Walker and Steve Baker, so there was a great mixture.” Sean had been planning the event for many months and has already started on making the 2016 version even bigger and better.
He added: “We really want to have a game next year with former players. That would be the icing on the cake and a real treat for everyone attending. “It was extremely hard work but worth it in the end and it was a lot of fun. There was a great atmosphere and I would like to thank everyone who got involved. “We ended the night at Quids Inn thanks to owner Alf Arton who was very generous. I can tell you that Steve Norris was probably the last one to go home.” Next year's event will take place on July 16.
THE Boro reunion and festival of football at Scarborough Rugby Club's Silver Royd was hailed a success and a date has already been set for next year's event. The only downer on the day was a broken leg for the Scarborough & District team's Dan Jenkinson in their friendly with Scarborough Athletic.

Rhodes looking to make waves at the Rumble on the Humber Words & pictures by Pete Spence [email protected]
SCARBOROUGH boxer George Rhodes is heading for the biggest test so far of his young professional career. The 23 year-old former Westway Amateur is on the under card of the huge clash between Hull rivals Luke Campbell and Tommy Coyle at Hull KR's Craven Park on Saturday August 1 billed as the Rumble on the Humber. Rhodes takes on another Hull fighter Paul O'Brien, and knows he will have to be at his best to walk away with the victory. Rhodes said: “This is the biggest night of my career so far and I am looking forward to it. He has the home town advantage but I will have my supporters too and I have to make sure I just concentrate on my own performance. “I have been training very hard with my coaches, dad George and Alan Edwards and we have done everything we can to prepare correctly.” This will be only Rhodes' second professional contest after emerging victorious in his debut fight in Barnsley earlier
this year against Frank Greaves. He added: “It has been a case of adjusting to the professional game and I am thoroughly enjoying that. I eat, sleep and breathe boxing and I am a fan as much as I am a competitor. “To be boxing on shows with the likes of Tommy Coyle and Luke Campbell is unbelievable and I want more of it. “Hopefully I can come away with a win and think about planning another fight for around September. It would be nice to get some momentum going and progress. “I would like to George Rhodes thank Gordon Gibb
of Flamingo Land for his support and I am always looking to try and attract new sponsors.” If any local businesses would like to find out about sponsoring George on his professional boxing adventure then please ring him on 07896 568611.

STAXTON hold narrow lead in Premier title race
PATEMAN IMPRESSES WITH NINE WICKET HAUL
IN Division A, both Mulgrave and Seamer seem odds on for promotion but only seven points separate the pair who have gone head to head all season. They meet on the penultimate weekend of the season, a game which could determine the title. The mid table is congested in such a competitive division with Grindale in third. Brompton’s paceman Tom Pateman had the best figures for July, claiming 9-56 against relegation threatened Cayton 2nds. Wold Newton gave themselves a glimmer of hope of survival after gaining a home win over Wykeham, their first win in eight matches.

Mcguinness sets sights on gold Cup success
CAPTAIN’S REVIEW Neil Elvidge THIS month has been a mixed bag at Scarborough Cricket Club with some indifferent performances and results. The first team had their unbeaten run ended by Easingwold, then lost to Hull Zingari, which were both disappointing defeats. Alex Carrie and Mark Tennant both impressed however scoring hundreds. We got back to winning ways beating Clifton Alliance, which was extremely important as you don't want that losing mentality to set in. The lads showed the right attitude and just kept working hard with the belief that we would stop the rot, and that was what
happened. We are a fairly young side so all the experiences are valuable, whether they be losing or winning ones. The squad want to grow together and we know that we can build on some good displays. The second team are still unbeaten so hopefully Mark's men can carry their form right through until the end of the season. Hopefully Adam Lyth can turn his England form around. If he can get past the new ball against Australia then I'm sure he can make big runs. We will all be rooting for him and the England team who need to puts things right against the Aussies, and quick!

Rep game abandoned Danny Jenkinson
THE Scarborough League select team fixture against Scarborough Athletic at Silver Royd on 18 July was abandoned after 72 minutes when Danny Jenkinson of Newlands Park suffered a broken leg in an accidental collision. The game was keenly contested with Boro taking a first half lead through Tom Corner, and the League team equalising when Edgehill’s Dean Craig scored from the penalty spot. A healthy crowd of 482 watched the game, including many former Boro players and officials attending the Scarborough FC re-union in the Silver Royd clubhouse.

goLFINg REVIEw BY DERRICK ARDEN Bowman bags Presidents North and South enjoy mixed pairs event Prize Putter accolade Geoff Bowman (centre) receiving his Prize Putter from the Club President Derrick Arden and his wife Pamela. NORTH CLIFF held their Presidents Weekend in fine weather but with a testing breeze for the players to contend with, especially on the Sunday. The ladies got proceedings under way when two of them Clare Ellard (4) and Janet Brown (21) handed in scores of net 71. Clare edged it on the count back to win the Ladies Presidents Putter whilst Janet took the prize for the best gross from the rest of the field. Christine Toulson (31) and Marilyn Rennard claimed the second and third net prizes. On Saturday the juniors took centre stage and again two players came in with the same score, this time it was George Bell and Thomas Duck who both had 38 stableford points. After the
count back George emerged as the winner of the Junior Presidents Putter to leave Thomas as the runner-up. In the mixed pairs competition Brian Messruther partnered by Debra Haith took first prize just holding off the challenge from Graham & Christine Toulson. The gents took to the field in force on Sunday with 155 members teeing up in what proved to be difficult blustery conditions nevertheless the competition for the Gents Presidents Putter was fierce. The leading score was net 67 and there were four tied on that number so once again the count back was the decider. The winner, after gaining a reputation over the years of always being a bridesmaid, turned out to be Geoff Bowman (12). After a front nine of nine over par things were not looking great for Geoff but a magical back nine of two under par gross that included four birdies ensured it was his turn to celebrate. The Division One net prizes were claimed by Chris Walker (11) on net 67 and Martin Laidler (6) with net 68 and in Division Two first place was taken by Lee Pickup (15) with Dan Cooper (16) in second placed both of whom posted net 67. Best Gross prize went to Dave Raybould (3) with a level par round of 72 which in the conditions was an excellent round.

Kelley loses out on Yorkshire title
FRASER Kelley made it through to the Yorkshire PGA Matchplay Championship Final after some great displays, especially in the semi-final when he ended the hopes of James Freeman, Owsten Hall 2&1. In the final Fraser faced the very experienced Aaron Wainright from Mid-
to compete against near neighbours North Cliff who hosted the annual mixed pairs friendly fixture, and once again the match proved to be a popular and enjoyable occasion. Whilst the game was played in a relatively competitive manner the post match meal and banter were the highlights of the day. For the record North Cliff recorded a rare victory in this event and Alan Baldwin the South Cliff Captain duly “loaned” the Trophy to Paul Helliwell his North Cliff counterpart until the return fixture at South Cliff next year.

won the seventh, a par from Aaron on the ninth was good enough to take the hole and leave him four up at the turn. After the players teed off at the 10th the weather intervened to the extent that play was suspended for some 20 minutes, until the rain abated a little, after which Fraser won the hole. Unfortunately for Fraser the delay did not put Aaron out of his stride as he then went on to win both the 11th & 12th holes to go five up and two halves at 13 & 14 meant victory for the Mid-Yorks man by 5&4.
Harrison claims Cock o’ the North title on new machine
Words & pictures by Andy Standing
IT was a challenging weekend for the organisers of the annual Cock O’ the North meeting. Legal issues meant the event had to be cut to a single day’s racing with Saturday giving fans the chance to wander round the paddock and meet the riders. With a packed day on Sunday the last thing that was needed were delays and things didn’t get off to the best of starts with the practice session being delayed due to a huge downpour. Thankfully the rain passed and the track started to dry in time for qualifying. The lightweights and super lightweights got the racing underway with the dark clouds gathering once more. Tyre choice was going to be critical as there were still damp patches around parts of the circuit and rain clouds were gathering overhead. Whilst some riders opted for the safety of a full wet set up Ivan Lintin was bold in his choice of full slicks. James Cowton took the early lead, Jamie Coward held second with Lintin in third but as Lintin’s tyres warmed up he soon overhauled Coward and Cowton. The rain held off and Lintin took a comfortable victory by over 24 seconds from Driffield’s Cowton. Alistair Howarth took the spoils
in the super lightweights from Dan Frear. Race two saw Daley Mathison on pole position in the senior race but it was Lintin, riding the RC Express Kawasaki ZX10R, that was fastest from the line. Mar Train’s Dean Harrison held second, Mathison third and Lee Johnston in fourth. Harrison finally got the better of Lintin to take the win with Johnston overhauling Mathison to take third. Next on the grid were the Classic F1 and F2 bikes. Jamie Coward took the honours on the Mistral Racing Kawasaki ZXR750. Paul Owen took the F2 win. The junior race was red flagged early on after a coming together at Mountside hairpin. From the restart Dean Harrison took the race by the scruff of its neck giving the new Yamaha R6 its debut win. Ivan Lintin chased hard throughout but pushed a little too hard on the final lap, slipping off at Mountside. Lee Johnston took advantage of Lintin’s slip to finish second and Tom Weedon took third, both riding Triumph Daytona 675s. The sidecars lined up for race five which turned out to be the final race of the day. Ian and Carl Bell led from start to finish and won by 15 seconds from Conrad Harrison and Lee Patterson.
Unfortunately one of the sidecars spilled a large amount of oil down the bottom straight and into farm bends and despite the best efforts of the marshalls it couldn’t be made safe enough to race. The organisers had to make the tough decision to call a halt to the day’s racing. Whilst the spectators were left disappointed, there was no doubt that rider safety was paramount. On a brighter note for the Auto 66 club, 23 time Isle of Man TT winner, John McGuinness confirmed his attendance at the Gold Cup meeting in September.

International engine of the year 2015
TRADITIONALLY, the 1-litre to 1.4-litre category at the International Engine of the Year Awards has been pretty easy to predict. After all, a single engine has routinely dominated the competition for the last nine years. Which makes it all the more impressive that PSA Peugeot Citroën’s 1.2-litre turbocharged threecylinder development has raced to victory in 2015, clinching first place by almost 70 points and forcing Volkswagen’s category-dominating 1.4-litre TSI Twincharger unit into second place. Designed and produced in France, PSA’s triple motor boasts a high-output turbocharger (spinning up to 240,000rpm) and impressive low-rev power and torque – 95% of the engine’s torque is available from 1,500 to 3,500rpm. And the OEMs substantial investment in the PureTech family, which totals more than US$960m, has also yielded engines that deliver in terms of emissions reduction. The 110ps turbocharged engine variant, for example, emits just 96g/km of CO2. Not only has the PureTech turbo ended
Volkswagen’s dominance in the category, but PSA’s well-received three-cylinder powerplant also struck a chord with many members of this year’s judging panel, winning them over with its blend of performance and efficiency. “Three cylinders are increasingly the way to go for compact cars, and PSA’s turbo triple is a particularly responsive yet economical engine that’s a delight to live with,” enthused freelance journalist John Simister, echoing the sentiments of many on this year’s panel. “Without turbo lag, this threecylinder gives a lot of power and perfect torque at very low revs, with a harmonious noise throughout the whole range. And the consumption is very low,” agreed L’Automobile Magazine’s Christophe Congrega. “The new PureTech engine from PSA is a revelation in terms of refinement, performance and efficiency,” stated German journalist Thomas Imhof. “Just like Ford, PSA shows what’s possible with only three cylinders.”
Test drive now the Peugeot 2008 Crossover with Pure Tech engine at Minstergate Peugeot on Seamer Road.

In which year was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour in the USA? | BBC - History - World Wars: Pearl Harbor: A Rude Awakening
Print this page
Introduction
It all happened so quickly. At 7.55am on Sunday 7 December 1941, the first of two waves of Japanese aircraft began their deadly attack on the US Pacific Fleet, moored at Pearl Harbor on the Pacific island of Oahu. Within two hours, five battleships had been sunk, another 16 damaged, and 188 aircraft destroyed. Only chance saved three US aircraft carriers, usually stationed at Pearl Harbor but assigned elsewhere on the day. The attacks killed under 100 Japanese but over 2,400 Americans, with another 1,178 injured.
... the attacks had been slowly brewing for years.
Although swift in execution, the attacks had been slowly brewing for years. The US had once looked upon Japanese ambitions with a level of sympathy, even indulgence. Hit hard by the Great Depression of the early 1930s, however, Japanese disillusion with party government grew and moderates gave way to militants. In 1931 Japan occupied Manchuria in northern China. Over the decade conflict intensified and in July 1937 war was declared. As Japanese aggression increased, its relations with the US deteriorated.
Occupied Manchuria was rapidly exploited with the establishment of heavy and light industries. This was a practical necessity for Japan. Lacking in natural resources itself, the search for alternative supplies underpinned foreign and military policy throughout the decade and led to the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Pacific War.
On top of practical economic considerations, early military success and an inherent sense of racial superiority led Japan to believe that it deserved to dominate Asian politics. As with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, this combination bred an aggressive and neo-colonial foreign policy, the 'Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere'. Higher birth-rates and economic considerations required more land; the gene-pool justified it.
Top
Relations with the US
A briefing of Japanese pilots before the attack © The policy increased in urgency as relations with the US sank further. Historically, Japan had relied on America to supply many natural and industrial resources. Increasingly alarmed by Japanese aggression, however, America allowed a commercial treaty dating from 1911 to lapse in January 1940. In July it followed up by embargoing scrap iron and aviation fuel. Things got worse in September when Japan signed the Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy. It was now a formal member of the Axis alliance fighting the European War.
... Japan knew that a full-scale invasion of South-east Asia would prompt war with America.
This posed real problems. Although officially neutral, there was no doubt where American sympathies lay. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had already strained the sinews of neutrality by supplying Britain with money and arms under the 'lend-lease' agreement. The Tripartite Pact meant that supplies to Japan would indirectly be helping Italy and Germany; further embargoes followed.
For Japan, embroiled in a long war with China, these were disastrous. Considering its very survival under threat, Japan intensified the search for a permanent alternative. The most obvious target was South-east Asia, rich in minerals and oil. German success in Europe in 1940 had orphaned French and Dutch colonies in the region and they became the focus of Japanese attention.
While occupying French Indochina in July 1941, Japan knew that a full-scale invasion of South-east Asia would prompt war with America. It needed a mechanism to buy itself sufficient time and space to conquer successfully crucial targets like the Philippines, Burma and Malaya. The attack on Pearl Harbor was that mechanism; merely a means to an end. By destroying its Pacific Fleet, Japan expected to remove America from the Pacific equation for long enough to allow it to secure the resources it needed so desperately and hoped to crush American morale sufficiently to prompt Roosevelt to sue for peace.
Top
An ill-prepared America
President Roosevelt declares war on Japan following the attack at Pearl Harbor. © With war so widely expected, why was America so woefully ill-prepared? Rumours that began in the war are still hanging around, well past their sell-by date, fuelled only by revisionist historians and conspiracy cranks. They claim Roosevelt was itching for war with Japan but was constrained by US neutrality, so needed a solid reason to fight. Hence they accuse him of suppressing prior knowledge of the attack, or of provoking it to enable America to enter the war by the back door. Some even say that the attack on Pearl Harbor was deliberately engineered by a crypto-communist president guilty of high treason.
In 1941 America was not ready for war.
It doesn't add up. In 1941 America was not ready for war. With US forces queuing for arms alongside Britain and Russia, Roosevelt knew he needed more time to build America's military capacity. If war was to come, he wanted Japan to be seen to be the aggressor, but Roosevelt was in no hurry.
Furthermore, he saw Germany as America's main enemy. This 'Europe first' strategy was affirmed with Churchill at the Arcadia conference in late December 1941. Roosevelt had already pushed neutrality to the limit and had assigned warships to accompany convoys in the Atlantic. War with Germany was only a matter of time: why choose to fight another with Japan? Even when European conflict came, it did so only on Hitler's invitation after he gratuitously declared war.

American myopia
However hard you look, there is little evidence of anything more than blushing cover-ups of previous blunders. The real crime was one of incompetence on a huge scale. After all, the US had broken Japan's diplomatic codes and could sometimes decode messages faster than the Japanese themselves. The problem was not raw data, but its interpretation, evaluation and communication: it had to be used properly. This did not happen.
The real crime was one of incompetence on a huge scale.
The administration and military were both guilty of a staggering lack of co-ordination between Washington and Oahu, and between different services. Japanese messages were decoded by the army and navy on alternate days and all too often one service failed to properly communicate their new intelligence to the other. And it wasn't just codes: on the day of the attack, Japanese aircraft were spotted by American radar. No action was taken: they were assumed to be a flight of B-17 bombers due in from the mainland.
It's not as if America wasn't warned. In January 1941 Ambassador Grew in Tokyo passed on intelligence that stated that Japan was planning the attack. It was disregarded. Warnings from military personnel in February and July were overlooked, largely because they recommended massive transfers of aircraft to Oahu, aircraft that America simply did not have. War warnings from Washington to Hawaii ten days before the attack were virtually ignored. Team USA was proving pretty dysfunctional.
This American myopia stemmed from complacent disbelief that Japan would mount such an attack, especially before declaring war. Yet any study of Japanese history demonstrated that pre-emptive attacks such as this were almost standard operating procedure. Instead of concentrating on what Japan could do, the US tried to guess what it would do. It guessed wrong.
Top
The aftermath
Although Pearl Harbor started the Pacific War, a war that Japan would lose badly, the attack itself was no failure. The Japanese wanted to cripple the Pacific Fleet and give them the space to invade South-east Asia. They did: Japan won every major battle until Midway in June 1942. By that time it occupied territory from Manchuria to the East Indies, and from India's borders to deep into the Pacific. The attack on Pearl Harbor bought Japan the space and time it needed.
Although only chance saved the American aircraft carriers, their survival was a major blow. However, the primary problem with the attack was the planning. Had Japan focused beyond the fleet and targeted the crucial shore facilities and oil reserves, it could have inflicted far greater and more lasting damage. As it was, of the ships damaged or sunk on December 7th 1941, only three - the Arizona, Oklahoma and Utah - were damaged beyond repair, and Utah was already obsolete. Japan gave America the chance to rebuild its fleet and re-enter the fight with brand new kit.
Operationally brilliant, the attack was nonetheless strategically disastrous.
Even worse, rather than crushing American morale as planned, the attack united the country behind Roosevelt and behind war. Americans were incensed by Japan's failure to declare war until later that day: the sneak attack fuelled American determination to fight on, even in the face of the setbacks of early 1942.
Pearl Harbor and the invasion of South-east Asia showcased Japan at its best - capable of massive daring and painstaking preparation. Operationally brilliant, the attack was nonetheless strategically disastrous. Never again would Japan have the opportunity to act with such forethought and planning. It got itself the short term breathing space it wanted, but also a war against both Britain and America. To invite such confrontation was the result of courage, optimism and (possibly) madness on a massive scale. Japan lost. Faced with American military and economic might, it could never really win. So why all the conspiracy theories? Maybe because some just cannot accept that on the day, in round one, their boys were beaten by the better team.

1941: Japanese planes bomb Pearl Harbor
Japan has launched a surprise attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and has declared war on Britain and the United States.
The US president, Franklin D Roosevelt, has mobilised all his forces and is poised to declare war on Japan.
Details of the attack in Hawaii are scarce but initial reports say Japanese bombers and torpedo-carrying planes targeted warships, aircraft and military installations in Pearl Harbor, on Oahu, the third largest and chief island of Hawaii.
News of the daring raid has shocked members of Congress at a time when Japanese officials in Washington were still negotiating with US Secretary of State Cordell Hull on lifting US sanctions imposed after continuing Japanese aggression against China.
He remembered that moment [Pearl Harbor] in later years as the end of one existence and the beginning of another
At 0755 local time the first wave of between 50 and 150 planes struck the naval base for 35 minutes causing several fires and "untold damage" to the Pacific Fleet.
The Japanese squadrons dropped high-explosive and incendiary bombs.
A second strike followed at about 0900 when a force of at least 100 planes pounded the base for an hour.
At least two Japanese airplanes have been shot down but it is reported that at least 350 men were killed by one single bomb at the Hickam Army Air Field, an Air Corps post on Oahu.
Officials announced a further 104 Army personnel were killed and 300 were wounded in the raid.
It is believed the attack was launched from two aircraft carriers.
One radio report says US forces downed six Japanese planes and sunk four submarines.
There are reports the Hawaiian capital Honolulu was also bombed as well as the Pacific island of Guam and the capital of the Philippines, Manila.
A British gunboat, the Peterel, has also been sunk at Shanghai in China.
Reports from Singapore suggest a build-up of Japanese warships in the South China Sea and seem to be headed for the Gulf of Siam, towards Bangkok.
President Roosevelt is working on a message to Congress tomorrow in which he is expected to ask for a declaration of war with Japan.
The Times newspaper's Washington correspondent says the US Government expects Germany and Italy to declare war on the US within hours.
Although the attack has shocked the American people there is little doubt that it had been brewing for some years.
Relations with the United States have deteriorated since 1931 when Japan occupied Manchuria in northern China. Over the last decade conflict has intensified into a full-scale war between Japan and China.
Last year, the US imposed trade sanctions on Japan.
Then in September 1940 Japan signed a Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy. It became a formal member of the Axis alliance fighting the European war but continued to negotiate with America for trade concessions until today.
Japan's fury over the embargoes and allied support for China prompted a declaration of war.

In which year was the Jif Plastic Lemon launched by Reckitt and Colman? | Packaged (past tense): the HAX plastic lemon pack | BEACH
July 23, 2015
Packaged (past tense): the HAX plastic lemon pack
2-color ad for HAX “just squeeze” plastic lemon juice packs, from The Chemist and Druggist, June 25, 1955
There are at least three different people credited for having invented and/or designed the plastic lemon pack — a lemon-shaped squeeze bottle for lemon juice.
The one that I’d like to focus on today is Edward Hack. Edward Hack’s nearly forgotten brand name, “HAX” was a homonym for his own name. HAX was Hack’s company.
The idea of placing real lemon juice inside yellow lemon-shaped plastic containers was developed in the 1950s by Edward Hack. The actual lemon was designed and produced by Cascelloid Ltd, who maintained that Hack presented them with their perfect model after much searching. They claimed he examined the entire stock of Harrods, Fortnum and Mason’s and Selfridges, as well as three cases of some three hundred lemons each at Covent Garden! It is alleged that the perfect lemon was eventually found at Covent Garden.
from Unilever’s Facebook Page
The task of actually creating the blow-molded plastic version of Hack’s supposedly “perfect lemon” seems to have fallen to Bill Pugh, Chief Plastics Designer at Cascelloid.
The squeeze lemon, marketed now as Jif, began life as a wooden core carved by Pugh, then covered painstakingly with fresh lemon peel. He cast it into a plaster mould, experimenting until he had it just right. He was patient and a perfectionist.
Once perfected, the lemon-shaped HAX pack began getting some attention in the press…
THE ANSWER’S A LEMON
The neat “Hax” lemon juice pack has won approbation all round. Two fluid ounces of lemon juice are contained in a polythene squeeze type container which is an exactly replica in texture, shape and colouring of an actual lemon. A plastics closure holds two labels, shaped and coloured like lemon leaves, in position and to dispense the juice, the housewife gently squeezes the “lemon,” when the liquid flows drop by drop into the tumbler or cup.
Bottling: A Quarterly Supplement to the Brewing Trade Review, 1954
The Princess Royal receives a Hax “lemon” —from The Chemist and Druggist, June 25, 1955
More about the HAX lemon, and its competitors, after the fold…
Shortly after the end of the Second World War such juice began to be sold in Italy in convenient plastic squeeze packs coloured and shaped like lemons and in 1955 a company called Edward Hack Ltd. began to market juice in similar packs in the United Kingdom. Shortly thereafter another company, Coldcrops Ltd., entered the market with lemon juice sold in similar containers. Litigation ensued, Edward Hack Ltd. claiming that Coldcrops Ltd. were passing off lemon juice as and for their produce. That action never came to trial because both businesses were acquired by the respondents who thereafter marketed juice in plastic lemon containers of the Hack design under the brand name “Jif.”
–Lord Oliver of Aylmerton, from UK House of Lords 1990 decision on: Reckitt and Colman Products Ltd v Borden Inc & Others
I wasn’t able to find any images of the earlier Italian lemon-shaped packs mentioned above, but the importance in the UK of Edward Hack’s “HAX” lemon is clear enough. Judging from its 1954 mention in Bottling Magazine, however, it must have been launched one year earlier than indicated above.
The court’s decision states unequivocally that the surviving “Jif” lemon juice brand used Edward Hack’s lemon design, although Wikipedia and others give Stanley Wagner credit for the invention of the plastic lemon container…
The plastic lemon container and the idea of selling lemon juice in this way was conceived by Stanley Wagner, an ex-RAF fighter pilot and an early stalwart of the Frozen Food industry. His plastic lemon was made by a company in the telephone business, Shipton. Over the course of a ten-month period from mid-1955 to early 1956 more than six million of these lemons were sold, initially under the brand name “Realemon” and then after an objection by the then Board of Trade the name was changed to “ReaLem” and marketed with the slogan “juice in a jiffy”.
Wikipedia page’s on Jif (lemon juice)
Seems more likely that Wagner’s version and Hack’s version were developed independently (Wagner with manufacturing help from Edward Shipton ; Hack with manufacturing and design help from Bill Pugh at Cascelloid .)
It’s interesting that Wagner’s service as an ex-RAF fighter pilot is mentioned, because Edward Hack — also known as Edward Joseph Robert Hack (E.J.R. Hack)— was ex-RAF, as well…
Mr. E. J. R. Hack (Edward Hack, Ltd.) has donated a gold cup which will be taken as a greeting from the Royal Air Force to the Royal Australian Air Force by the Duke of Gloucester (Governor Designate of Australia) when he goes to the Commonwealth. Mr. Hack holds an honorary commission as Wing Commander in the R.A.F. and has been closely associated with the development of the Air Training Corps.
THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST, February 11, 1944
One wonders whether Wagner and Hack knew each other. And if so, did this make their rivalry more rancorous or less?
It’s also interesting to note how little is made of Wagner’s obvious trademark infringement. Coldcrops, Ltd. initially passed off their lemon juice packs as the American “Realemon” brand and then, “after an objection by the then Board of Trade,” simply shortened the name to “Realem.”
Contrast that with the 1990 hoopla that ensued when Borden tried to introduce a lemon-shaped Realemon pack into the UK market.
Photo evidence from Reckitt and Colman Products Ltd v Borden Inc & Others (photos by Agata Tajchert )
What the appellants did was to make preparations for the launch on the United Kingdom market of lemon juice to be sold in natural-size lemon-shaped plastic squeeze containers which would compete directly with Jif lemons. …between the summer of 1985 and the summer of 1986 the appellants produced three different versions of plastic lemon containers (referred to respectively as “Mark I,” “Mark II” and “Mark III”) which they proposed to launch on the market. They did not, however, undertake any prior advertising campaign with a view to familiarizing the public with their product in its new get-up. The Mark I container was slightly larger but broadly similar to the Jif lemon, save that it had a green cap in place of the yellow Jif cap and a small flat area on one side which enabled it to stand at an angle on a surface.
–Lord Oliver of Aylmerton, from UK House of Lords 1990 decision on: Reckitt and Colman Products Ltd v Borden Inc & Others
In America, Realemon did not put their reconstituted lemon juice into lemon shaped packs until 1957, with several brands beating them to the punch. The 1958 design patent for their version is shown above. (Note: the reference to the Walter Lander “tilt” bottle )
The earliest entries into the American market appear to have been British imports in 1956.
By 1957 “Easy Juicer” and “Lazy Lemon” brands were available in the U.S.
Finally in 1958 Realemon produced its own lemon-shaped package — a package similar to the HAX lemon —and to Stanley Wagner’s Coldcrops pack which, in the UK, had been infringing on the Realemon trademark!

Some have asserted that the lemon-shaped pack could not be patented or trademarked.
Packaging for lemon juice
Reckitt & Colman produced their JIF plastic pack for lemon juice in 1956. The pack is about the size of a real lemon, with JIF embossed on to its textured surface and there is a screw cap out of which the juice is squeezed. The much-admired design was by Edward Hack Ltd. The pack itself was not eligible (nor is it currently) for trade mark protection under UK law. It will not surprise shoppers to learn that rival food firms have tried to introduce similar lemon juice packs. Indeed, two designs, considerable larger in size and of different appearance, have been given royalty-free licences by Reckitt & Colman. However, it came to the firm’s notice in 1985 that a competitor was planning to introduce new lemon pack designs with different trade names but having similarity in size and appearance to the original JIF pack. Accordingly, Reckitt & Colman brought an action for ‘passing off. They won their case in the High Court, despite suggestions that ‘JIF’ had become ‘generic’.

Design protection:
a practical guide to the law on plagiarism for manufacturers and designers
Johnston states that the pack was never eligible for trade mark protection, but in 1954 Hack did hold a British “provisional patent” for his design — (“Prov. Patent 02544/55” according to the 2-color Hax lemon ad at the top of this post).
This “provisional” patent may not have been fully approved, but was this because it was ineligible? Or simply because the design for the HAX lemon was bought out by Jif?
Some bad things about plastic lemon bottles
Lest you think that we’re all sweetness and light about plastic lemon bottles, consider Bill Pugh’s own misgivings in later life about plastic bottles, in general…
Soon after Pugh’s arrival [at Cascelloid], the company imported a plastic bottle-blowing machine from the United States. It was one of only two in the world. Faced with a new machine, a new process, and one trial American mould, Pugh had not only to master the art of making plastic bottles but to sell the idea that they were a good thing. On a Nile cruise with Margaret in later life, he was deeply saddened as hundreds of empty two-litre bottles drifted by. Pugh felt in a way responsible for something he could never have envisaged at the outset.
Meanwhile, found in a river in the States…

Washed ashore upon the fossil rocks was this smashed plastic lemon. It once contained “real” lemon juice. Over the years, I have found many of these lemon-shaped bottles. What I find interesting here is the presented combination of image and substance…a plastic lemon that once held genuine lemon juice.
There’s also this Indiana newspaper item about a fatality in 1959 in which a 12 year old boy choked to death after swallowing part of a plastic lemon container.
And a more recent 1997 plastic lemon pack bomb scare in Delaware…
A small plastic lemon juice container left by a phone booth Wednesday is being blamed for snarled traffic and several sun burned police officers.
The lemon-shaped container, thought to be an explosive, was reported to police…
The X-ray suggested there were no electronics and no visible explosives inside the plastic lemon, which was eventually destroyed with a “disrupter…” The disrupter is a square-shaped device used to deactivate explosives. It uses type of shotgun shell and the force of water to break through packages and sever the circuit inside, Officer Nelm said.
Although Wednesday’s scare, apparently was a hoax and there was no bomb, “We can never be sure,” he said.

Getting back to Edward Hack, his “HAX” brand logo (with the left-pointing triangle and the ascending typography) goes back at least as far as 1935 where it can be seen in ads for HAX brand aspirin and iodine pencils.
As antique as the HAX logo is, imagine my surprised to learn that, up until last year, it was still in use on a HAX, Ltd. website at www.haxltd.co.uk …
But HAX was not the only brand that Edward Hack ever created.
Tomorrow we look at “FLIP, Ltd.” and some other fruit-shaped, plastic bottles…

A row of labelled cans retrieved from the hole, mostly 1960s vintage. Raro wasn’t launched until sometime in 1961, and the can looked like this from the beginning. I have previously recreated this Wattie’s fruit salad label here , which
was definitely in stores in 1964, and Wattie’s cans were selling for 2/3 in that year. Imperial pricing pencilled on both items indicates prior to mid 1967, so I’d date them (widely) between 1962-1967.

Recently, a reader of this blog contacted me to ask whether I would help them date a cache of items that were found in an old school building complex. They had been discovered when vandals on the property had removed some of the floorboards in one of the old dormitories, presumably looking for copper pipes to take. Whilst attempting to secure the aperture, before there was some kind of accident, they noticed a couple of things in the recesses of the dim hole. Upon further investigation was a selection of items that had been discarded over the years by a former student, or plural.
Found repositories and the story they tell are one of my favourite things, like this lot, found inside a long forgotten American house cistern.
These types of accumulations are obviously very different from collecting in which the acquirer may be particularly discriminate about categories; or hoarding – where there is complete indiscrimination in regards to a singular, or often multiple genres. A good example of this is children’s scrap books and things that they select to keep and then edit, gluing in items that may appear to be random, but in fact are not at all – it is done with complete deliberation and within that selection of items is data that tells a tale of the time.

Discards on the other hand while equally as fascinating, have many different factors come into play that affect the agglomeration. Foremost, apart from the initial partiality involved in acquisition, what survives from that juncture is completely random – as opposed to any further intention being involved. There’s a lot of chance with what endures the circumstances and the environment – so many aspects become involved from thereon of what you will end up with. But essentially even though the items found may be just a fragment of a bigger picture, it can give you an awful lot of information about the lives of the people who discarded the items – you could write an entire thesis analysing the selection of items and the narrative it supplies.

Wellington’s Erskine College, at the corner of Avon Street and Melbourne Road, Island Bay, Wellington was formerly known as Sacred Heart College, or in long form – the Convent of Sacré Coeur Catholic boarding school for women – until well into the 1960s when the name was changed to avoid confusion with Sacred Heart College in Thorndon. It is a collection of Category I historic buildings – as bestowed by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust – including former dormitories, and the Chapel of the Sacred Heart (considered one of the country’s best examples of Gothic architecture). Built during 1905-1906 by the Society of the Sacred Heart (Sacré Coeur), and designed by John Swan, it was not only convent and school but surrounded by a farm, gardens and a grotto.
Some of Peter Jackson’s film, The Frighteners (1996) was filmed at Erskine, especially the flashbacks, the exterior mansion shots and the chapel scenes. The flashbacks occurred on the third and fourth floors in the hallway outside the room where these items were rescued from. It also seems during the Nineties and Noughties that some of the buildings were used for art studios as well as exhibitions (Learning Connexion art school). It has also been, in the past, a very popular venue for weddings and other functions.

Not only is it considered a sort of teenage rite of passage to visit the abandoned buildings, but stories also abound in regards to the property being haunted which only encourages break-ins and vandalism. The current residents who say that since they have moved in to one of the accommodation wings on Erskine‘s grounds – there have been “no signs of ghosts yet” do attest to having to be vigilant and have kicked live trespassers out several times in the past. Those thinking about “exploring” inside should take into consideration that not only are some of the buildings dangerous given they are abandoned and deteriorating rapidly, but also closed off because they are earthquake prone. Options are the owners doing very costly stabilising work, or alternately demolition, discussed in an article here .
It’s a shame about all the politics surrounding the property. Quite frankly it sounds like the owner that bought it a decade ago or more, typical of developers, knew what he was in for but went in with plans to eventually try to overturn the heritage protection in any way he could, just letting it run down, tying everyone up with red tape, and then blaming everyone else for exactly the same thing. The on-going battle of wills is discussed in article here .
I predict eventually he will probably get a healthy leg up from local government for restoration as well as permission to remove all the non-heritage listed structures and build it in with apartments. I am sure he has plans to make his money out of it. In the meantime all the agitation in the community will probably only serve him to achieving his end goal I imagine. It’s one of those situations where, as they say – damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.

However, contrary to posting around the web saying there’s no electricity on the premises and nothing to restrict would-be adventurers, it is par-residential, there is a security system which is in place and working, as well as odd patrols after a break-in incident in which “youths tore up yards of flooring” according to someone who reported the incident on the College’s Facebook page. That’s obviously how the assemblage I feature here came to be inadvertently revealed – found in the main college building, one of two “red-stickered” areas on the property.

It is unknown whether all of the items were placed there deliberately (given that the floor board seems to have been easily removable, this is very likely), or some of the smaller bits and pieces just fell through the cracks into a cavity between the fourth floor and the third floor ceiling. It may be a bit of both. There may have been just one occupant to the room for a length of time who made a habit of doing that (unlikely that anyone else knew about the loose floorboard). Some immediate things that struck me – mostly the items were sweet things, such as snacks. Perhaps contraband, and disposed of where it would not be found. The schools may have been strict about eating anything in dorms – as well as junk food and non-school foods found in rooms. Along with the Disprins, You get the idea that these items may have been cravings that accompanied “that time of the month” perhaps. Sheep’s tongues may now seem a strange thing to have druthers for on the sly but no accounting for taste (not often seen on the lunch or tea table these days, they were extremely common in decades past; still popular even when I was a child). This tells me the person was missing domestic life and home cooking probably, and this was a little bit of “comfort”, or perhaps they were part of a care package from home. Of course a big question is – why they would put all those things under there when it was easier to put it in a bin? It does point to not wanting anyone to know about it, or for it to be found. It could be just as simple as laziness, or good old (Catholic) guilt. Or both.
It’s fun for me to try and narrow the cache down without any idea of dates or significant clues, but of course the biggest lead is a potential name . The serial litterer seems to be a fourth form boarder named L. Reilly. If we could track the person in question down, there may be some more information on the details of their life at Erskine and the motivation behind dropping this stuff into a gap under the floor. On the other hand, she may not like the idea that some things have been dredged up unexpectedly such as an English test she likely cheated on (otherwise why not just put it in the bin instead of stuffing it in a can and hiding it), or the nicked spoon that accompanied the empty tins, (which bears the college’s initials SH for Sacred Heart). Personally, I know I would feel a bit weird about people going through my old trash.
However, there’s a possibility that our culprit is included in one of the Sacré Coeur reunion photos in this archive here , Which feature classes from 1930s onwards.

All of the items were well-documented in detail which means quite a number of images. Ergo with the author’s permission I’ve selected and edited the most interesting and curious things for this article – either they have a good story behind them or they are the sort of thing that rarely survives the dustbin or dumpster so that in its self makes them worthy of being featured (how many used ice cream wrappers survive for example? Very few that I have seen).
The salvager is intending to use a section of the floorboard in question that had been pried up as the base for a small cabinet to protect and display the items as a fascinating microcosm of student life in days gone by.
A shot of the hole with some of the items beginning to be retrieved – a can, a spoon and a Sun Maid raisin packet.
a
So, what’s my prognosis as far as a time period on this haul? Initially I had dated it between 1965-1968.
Now I’ve gotten a good look at the Sun Maid packet below, this definitely dates between 1969-1976 – but probability is on 1971-1972. Since the Disprin bottle indicates things are as old as 1961, It’s looking likely there were multiple discarders over a successive period of up to ten years, but most of it was just one person with perhaps later items like the raisins and the NZ Rail ticket just slipping through gaps in the boards by chance. If I re-narrowed the dates to the least possible, it would still be 1967-1972.
Oh, and – L. Reilly…where are art thou, you naughty minx? No worry about getting detention now – so come out, wherever you are.

Trying to date items can be a difficult prospect but I am quite good at it – I have a sort of “sixth sense” when it comes to this task. I set myself to it by “zooming in”- I kind of squint my eyes, and really focus hard. It takes a while but I can usually get an item down to a three year period, and sometimes even down to the correct year without knowing much about it. I guess it is just being a highly visual person with an almost photographic memory who has been collecting for decades. It goes in and pretty much just lodges there forever. Apparently I have “a mind like a steel trap”. Which can be a great thing – but on the other hand, there are events you’d probably rather forget. Anyway, moving right along…
As much as I have a vast storehouse in my cranium (although I still think I know very little and have a lot to learn) and a huge collection of images and books to draw on – sometimes it is just no help.
Point in case is this snap set that Foodstuffs (N.Z. ) Ltd , owner of many brands which I previously covered here , issued as a (presumably) give-away promotional item – something they did a lot of to promote their business over the years (I cover all that in the linked article). Back in the day all kinds of card games were a very popular pastime. I’m not sure when they started to fall out of favour, but I’m taking a guess at the early 1980s – coincidentally around the time that computer games popularised – small hand-held consoles like Donkey Kong were a “must have” for us kids and probably the death knell of more manual entertainment.
This particular set was issued for Four Square supermarkets – but this is not the only promotional card set they did – there were two happy families sets over the years – one which I think was done in the late 1950s (I’ll get to that further on) and another one around 1981 (which I have posted on a few times over the last couple of years as I make my way through restoring and exploring each set).
Anyway, with the one I showcase here – I am really not sure on exactly when it was produced – you would think with over ten different products it would not be so hard to work out with their combined company histories. Not the case.
Many of these products had already been around for decades and had changed little – subtle adjustments to packaging can be a good indicator of dates. However the design of Nugget polish featured, for instance – is of little help when it comes to narrowing the date as the design was barely modified over decades and was in use through the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and into the early 1960s.
One telling point which helps me “arrange” the timeline is that Foodstuffs issued one of the happy families game sets around this time – I believe for a number reasons just previous to the snap set coming out.
Some of the cards from the slightly earlier happy families set issued by foodstuffs in the late 1950s, but featuring many of the same products.
a
Why do I think that? Because unlike the snap set – it features three products that have some clues that help me date it as such – and those are Crest canned foods, Jojo jelly crystals, and Rawakelle tea.
I know that Crest Fine Foods was sold in 1959 and the logo was being changed very shortly before that date. In fact I have some of the labels where the art department for Butland Industries has painted out the old logo and pasted a new one over it – so “in transition” at this point. The happy families set shows the old logo . A photo of a Woolworths store of 1964 shows the logo fully changed over. The snap set shows the new logo as well as a completely new can design for tinned peaches.
Also, Rawakelle tea, which is also featured, was like Pam’s a Four Square/ Foodstuffs (New Zealand) Limited brand that was launched in 1957 . Jojo jelly, also featured, was launched in 1958 by N W Stevens/The Kiwi Polish Co Ltd that also produced Lushus (many baby boomers will remember this very popular jelly crystal brand) as well as a number of other desserts.
So the happy family set was produced after 1957 and likely before 1960.
And where does that put me with dating the snap set?
The snap set features a new design for Crest peaches so that’s my cut-off date on the lower end of the scale. It’s also worth noting that in the meantime since the happy families set had been issued – the Rawakelle packet had been the recipient of a makeover – but not wildly different. the only 1960s image I have seen of Cooper’s Fresh Aire is a January 1962 ad in which the can design seems to have been revised from what appears on the snap card. The product was definitely available by 1961 as exemplified by an ad in the New Zealand Film archive. This was still quite early days for television and the fact that they went to the effort to make an ad in this medium indicates it was a new product on the market and they wanted to make a splash.
Outside of the early 1960s snap set box, a bit worse for wear.
a
So in summary, I would date the snap set at some time between 1960 and January 1962. That gives us the answer – probably 1961. If you asked me on first glance to pick an era, I would have said 1950s. If you showed me the two together, I would say that the snap set was issued before the other. But it goes to show if you really concentrate and try to figure it out with some information that has been gathered to help – the facts don’t lie!

I was cleaning out the cupboard the other day and I came across this old lid carefully packed away, which I’ve had since I was around 12 years old. I found this half -buried under a Victorian villa in Newton Gully, where my aunt lived in the early 1980s in an apartment underneath the building. The thing I remember most about it was that it was quite close to the Lion Breweries on Khyber Pass, Newmarket – and the smells wafting as the beer fermented in various stages ranged from amazing (apple pie) to absolutely sickening (foot odour). It was also was the first time I had seen cockroaches as we generally didn’t have them in New Zealand and at night they would swarm over the footpaths like a sign of the apocalypse – I suppose attracted by the ingredients like malt and hops, combined with the heat generated by its maturation in the gigantic vats nearby. Anyway the couple who owned the house were quite happy for me to climb underneath with a torch and fossick around and over time I found a number of things including this polish tin which I have kept packed away until now.

Still from a Chesdale TV advertisement by Dormer-Beck in 1966
It was generally agreed there were three main firms who ruled NZ advertising in the earlier part of the 20th century ; J. Ilott , Charles Haines, and J. Inglis Wright. (Carlton Carruthers Du Chateau also deserves inclusion in the top agencies, and by the early 1970s CC du C was out and Dobbs-Wiggins-McCann-Erickson was considered one of the “big five”).
However by the late 1950s, Dormer-Beck (who had been around nearly as long, but was perhaps considered the runt of the quintuplets), had become strong enough to be not just a rival – but a real threat to all, eventually with offices in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin. Author Maurice Duggan, who worked as a copywriter at D-B in the early Sixties remembers “The agency had a solid reputation; its presence in the city was considerable”.
Dormer-Beck created some of the most memorable Australasian media campaigns of all time.

I was able to obtain a history of Dormer-Beck from the daughter of a former managing director Alec G. Robson, who started in 1936 as an office junior and by 1964 was chairman and managing director of the company. Jill Rowdon was kind enough to send me a copy of his notes for my research. It is a bio history as opposed to a memoir, and as such is focused on structural and financial business matters rather than the creative grind or the amusing bon mots you would expect of those crazy ad types; and unfortunately barely skips over important accounts and iconic brands with no more than a passing mention.
The New Zealand operations of International John Wyeth NZ Ltd, that produced health and cosmetic products like Anacin, were a client in the 1940s.
Dormer-Beck was borne of T. L. Hathaway Ltd., An Auckland agency with a number of retail advert writing contracts. L. M. (Case) Beck had worked as a “writer-visualiser” there for two years. An account they held with the Auckland Star newspaper, where R.C. Dormer was building a reputation as a sales representative, is how the two met. Hathaway commenced operations for a new business venture in Australia, after a radical product/coupon scheme was scuttled by introduced government laws, (The Coupon Trading Act took effect in 1932, making it illegal to redeem coupons for anything but cash or discount), leaving a bankrupt company in the charge of Beck – because he was the largest preferential creditor in terms of owed wages. The two scraped up sum capital of £50.00 each, and well into The Depression, the business had literally nowhere to go but up. Ray Trenchard Smith, who had both newspaper and advertising agency experience, became the third shareholder, and Dormer- Beck Advertising Ltd., was “officially” formed in May 1932.
I stumbled upon the Dormer-Beck story whilst researching “Pam’s” which was launched by Four Square Stores in 1937 to offer lower price, quality goods to the New Zealand public under a strong brand image. Yes – it really does go back that far. Although there were several “self” brands from chain stores at the time, “Pam’s” has lasted into the present day as a stand-alone brand, probably the only surviving one – and has a pretty nifty website to boot.

The Sopot International Song Festival is held annually in which European country? | Midwest Food - Famous Cuisine of Midwest
Midwest Food
Click to view full Infographic
The Midwest, considered America’s heartland, is home to many regional specialties and some of the most iconic foods of the United States. Though Midwestern food is not the fanciest cuisine, many of these dishes are symbols of Americana. From hot dish to Jell-O salad, these comfort foods are a product of a culture based on family and community.
A surge of immigration beginning around the time of the Civil War brought Europeans, especially from Germany, Ireland, Scandinavia, and countries of Eastern Europe, like Poland and Hungary, to the region. Many early immigrants worked to assimilate into the culture of the region, which had been primarily influenced by the British. The new wave of immigrants adopted many regional dishes, adapting them to their own tastes and fusing them with traditions from their homelands. The fusion of cultures has created many Midwestern specialties that represent the people and lifestyle of the region.
Hot Dish
As a region known for its focus on wholesome family values, the Midwest’s food has adapted to fit the lifestyle of its people. Large families, church suppers, and pot lucks call for fast, easy, and hearty meals. Hot dish, or casserole, is a classic Midwestern staple and a significant piece of American culture. Closely associated with Minnesota, hot dish is an all-in-one meal invented for its convenience and ability to quickly feed a large group of people. Hot dish normally consists of a starch, like potatoes, pasta, or rice, combined with meat, vegetables, and a liquid to bind the ingredients together. Cream soup, especially cream of mushroom soup, is a common choice for that binding liquid. As the name suggests, hot dish is then baked in a casserole dish and served hot, making it a hearty meal during the cold Midwestern winter.
With the Midwest’s focus on families and faith, the hot dish’s creation was inevitable, as a fast way to make dinner for a large family or church event. Hot dish is also a popular dish to bring to pot lucks, which are dinner parties in which each guest brings a dish to share. Some common types of hot dish are tuna with noodles, tater tot casserole, and green bean casserole. Various types of potatoes can be included, like hash browns or even potato chips. Some hot dishes are simply made from tossing together various leftovers to create new combinations.
Hot dish meals are often followed by a dessert known simply as “bars,” which are cookies baked in a casserole dish and then cut into rectangular bars. Jell-O salad is another popular dessert brought to Midwestern pot lucks, and consists of flavored gelatin mixed with cream and sometimes fruit or vegetables to create a fruit salad.
Loose Meat Sandwich
Known by many names, including loose meat sandwich, loose hamburger, tavern, and the brand name, Maid-Rite, these sandwiches are made of seasoned loose ground beef served on a hamburger bun. Maid-Rite is an Iowan restaurant that first opened in 1926 and popularized these sandwiches. Maid-Rite Restaurants are now found all around the region, and the name is synonymous with loose meat sandwiches.
The loose meat sandwich’s close cousin is the sloppy joe — a version of the sandwich in which the meat is cooked in tomato sauce or ketchup, making for an even messier meal. The origins of this sandwich are disputed, but it may have first been created by a chef in Sioux City, Iowa named Joe.
Cincinnati Chili
The pride of Cincinnati is its famous chili, known as Skyline Chili, or simply Cincinnati chili. This dish, a version of chili con carne, has no beans, but differs from Texas chili with its sweet seasonings, which include cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and even chocolate. Cincinnati chili was first served by Greek chefs, first at Empress, followed by the opening of the very first Skyline Chili in 1949. Skyline Chili continues to be one of the best places to try Cincinnati Chili, though its competitor, Gold Star has surpassed Skyline in number of restaurants.
Cincinnati chili is served in a number of “ways,” as they are known. This chili can be eaten by itself in a bowl, which is simply called a bowl of plain, and is the least popular style. Two-way chili, or chili spaghetti, is chili served over a bed of spaghetti. Three-way chili has the addition of shredded cheddar cheese to the chili spaghetti; four-way chili adds onions to that; and five-way includes chili, spaghetti, cheese, onions, and kidney beans. This distinct chili menu is fairly standard for buying chili in Cincinnati, and follows a set of specific rules for ordering. To order chili with spaghetti, cheese, and beans, for example, would be five-way, no onions.
Cincinnati chili is also served over fries, or as a cheese coney: a hot dog topped with chili and a pile of cheddar cheese. The Greater Cincinnati Convention and Visitor Bureau reports that over two million pounds of chili are consumed in the city each year, topped with 850,000 pounds of cheddar.
Cornish Pasty
As its name suggests, the Cornish pasty originated in Cornwall, England and was brought by miners who came from Cornwall to work in the iron and copper mines in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The pasty (pronounced pass-tee) is a convenience food that consists of pastry pocket filled with meat and vegetables. The pasty’s portability made it the perfect meal for miners to bring for lunch.
Though pasties originated in England, they are closely associated with Finnish immigrants of Michigan. After a wave of Finnish immigrants flocked to the region from around 1860 to 1880, they adopted the dish to assimilate into the British culture, looking to the former immigrants as an example of the road to success. Similar dishes were eaten in their homeland, causing many to assume the dish was Finnish in origin. The Michigan adaptation of the pasty uses a thinner crust and more vegetables. Typically, the pasty includes beef or pork, potatoes, and onions, rutabagas or carrots. Michigan pasties differ from the traditional Cornish pasty because the ingredients are mixed, rather than layered. A two-course pasty is made in some households, which contains a section of fruit at the bottom of the pocket for dessert.
Pierogi
Pierogi are dumplings, similar to ravioli or pot stickers, which are typically filled with potato, sauerkraut, ground meat, and cheese. Dessert pierogi are filled with various fruits. The dumplings are boiled and then baked or fried, and served with butter or sour cream. Pierogi, the Polish name for these dumplings, are the national dish of Poland. Similar dumplings are eaten in the surrounding regions of Eastern Europe, like Hungary and Ukraine. The Polish likely brought this meal to the Midwest, where they are a popular treat today. The Northeast and Midwest are the primary regions where pierogi are eaten in the United States, and they are sometimes found prepackaged in grocery stores in these regions. Some parts of the Midwest closely identify the pierogi with their regional cultural identity, like Whiting, Indiana, which is home to the annual Pierogi Fest.
Goulash
American goulash, though derived from Hungarian goulash, has diverged significantly from the traditional meal. Though the American meal contains beef and paprika, it often includes macaroni, tomato sauce, and some vegetables like corn, peppers, or beans. American goulash is sometimes baked as a casserole, as is common for Midwestern cuisine, and topped with shredded cheese. This dish is especially popular in Cleveland, Ohio.
Lefse and Lutefisk
Lefse and lutefisk are two dishes that originated in Norway, brought to the Midwest by the Scandinavian immigrants who settled in Minnesota. Both dishes are common cuisine in this particular region of the United States, as well as neighboring Canada.
Lefse is a type of flat bread sometimes made of potato, somewhat like a pancake or tortilla, which is served as a side to many Minnesota meals. Lefse can be eaten with savory or sweet dishes, and are especially popular during the Christmas season. Lefse can be heated and rolled with melted butter, sugar, or cinnamon, or served as a side to coffee or dinner foods, including lutefisk.
Lutefisk is dried cod, cured with lye, and is a traditional Norwegian dish that became popular with Minnesotans. A result of the regional conditions in both Norway and Minnesota, lutefisk is eaten during the cold winters, since the curing process preserves the fish for an extended time. Like lefse, lutefisk is a common Christmas meal for Americans of Norwegian descent. Madison, Minnesota has claimed the title of lutefisk capital of the world, and the state consumes more lutefisk per capita than any other part of the nation.

Still worth a chuckle
from England
1 April 2006
I think this was one of the funniest carry on films,it would have to be some where in the top 10.The story is based on Beau Geste,with quite a few changes.Phil Silvers seems relaxed in his role,almost as if he has starred in other carry on films,he was probably the replacement for Sid James.Although Phil Silvers fits the role perfectly,in his usual SGT Bilko style.Anita Harris only starred in two carry on films,and you wonder why she wasn't asked to do more,as she was popular with the male audiences.All the characters are very good,and the best use has been made of their talents.Kenneth Williams playing the German called Burger,Charles Hawtrey playing the Frenchman Le piece.Bernard Bresslaw gives his best carry on performance as the Arab leader.I think one of the funniest parts of this film is when the Legionaires are having a sandcastle competition,and it breaks into a fight,and the Arabs are looking on thinking their all stupid.In all still a funny film,with a good cast who sadly most are not with us anymore.

Lacks really sharp material but the domineering force that is Phil Silvers makes it worth seeing
from United Kingdom
23 August 2004
Falsely accused of foul play during a cricket match, Bo West decides the only way to find his honour again is to join the foreign legion and, with his butler, sets off to join up. On their way they meet Sgt Nocker sleeping in a bordello just a few hours before he pretends to have been on a dangerous mission. Using this information, West and Simpson get an easy ride however everything changes when all three of them are captured by Sheikh Abdul Abulbul. Things become more urgent when Bo discovers that his lover, Jane Ponsonby has traveled to the region to find him and has herself been captured by Abulbul.
Quite rightly, this film is on this database without its 'carry on' rider, as this was not an official Carry On film but rather one that bore enough similarity to the series to allow it to be shanghaied into the group. While it doesn't stand out as being the best of the series it is still pretty enjoyable. The plot spoofs Beau Guest very loosely and it delivers the usual smutty puns and Carry On style laughs even if the material is not as sharp as it should have been. The main reason I liked the film as much as I did was down to one main factor Phil Silvers.
Silvers dominates the film and he gets the majority of the laughs with what is essentially a foreign legion version of his own Bilko. If anything his presence unbalances the film as the rest of the cast, talented as they are, are all in his shadow. Dale is amusing in his usual stuttering role as the slightly daffy English ponce and he is ably supported by Butterworth in a small role. Williams plays his role very well, while Hawtrey does his usual effeminate performance to good effect. Douglas is OK but Sims has far to little to do. Bresslaw, as always, has the 'ethnic' role and he has quite a few good lines along the way but the film does lack the all round cast that quite a few of the Carry On films have. The support features a tent full of gorgeous women who, rather frighteningly, include the presence of one Anita Harris so much for wholesome!
Overall this is not one of the better Carry On films but it is still amusing and quite enjoyable, mainly due to the Bilko-esque delivery from Phil Silvers who pretty much dominates the film, certainly stealing every scene he is in. The material is not the sharpest and I missed the presence of some of the other Carry On regulars but generally this had enough in the way of laughs to justify watching if you're a Carry On fan.

Uneasy entry in the long-running series
Aspect ratio: 1.66:1
Sound format: Mono
When his reputation is compromised during a routine game of cricket, an English nobleman (Jim Dale) joins the French Foreign Legion and gets mixed up with a lecherous sergeant (Phil Silvers) and an Arab uprising.
The first of two entries not to use "Carry On" in its title due to political fall-out from a change of distributor, this lumpy concoction features Silvers in a role originally intended for Sid James (producers had even considered Woody Allen, hoping an American star would help them crack the elusive US market), and while Silvers holds his own amongst an impressive ensemble cast, he seems out of place in a movie steeped in British traditions and sensibilities. Like everyone else, however, he's constantly upstaged by Kenneth Williams as the nostril-flaring German commandant at the Saharan garrison where Dale is stationed with his faithful valet (Peter Butterworth), though by this stage in the "Carry On" series, Williams' dominance of proceedings had become pretty much par for the course. Talbot Rothwell's script is long on plot and short on gags, though a couple of fruity nuggets hit the target (when heroine Angela Douglas proposes venturing onto the streets of a Middle Eastern village after dark, dismissing the possibility of being kidnapped and ravished among the sand dunes by a rampant tribesman, Williams reminds her of an old Arab proverb: "There's many a good fiddle played on an old dune!"). The screenplay also pokes fun at upper-class British twittery (Dale is quite superb as the clueless aristo, completely at odds with his surroundings), which minimises any offence caused by some broad Arab stereotypes, and Bernard Bresslaw hams it up as a villainous bedouin whose only allegiance is to the mythical 'Mustafa Leek'! For some strange reason, the magnificent Joan Sims is wasted as the owner of a small cafe where much of the film's action unfolds.
Filmed in the wilds of Camber Sands, Sussex (!), the movie's low budget production values are bolstered by an ultra-professional production team (cinematographer Alan Hume would later work on a number of British-lensed blockbusters, including the Bond movies), but while Gerald Thomas' direction is as efficient as ever, the film is amusing rather than laugh-out-loud funny (one gets the impression Rothwell's heart wasn't in it). For the first and only time in "Carry On" history, Silvers gets top billing over all the other actors (producer Peter Rogers always claimed the "Carry On" title was bigger than any of its stars), which must have galled some of the regular players. In fact, the principals were all wary of Silvers' presence, and Williams was particularly vocal in his opposition to the US stars' use of written prompts, causing tension on the set. To his credit, once Silvers became aware of this problem, he abandoned the prompts and memorised his dialogue, earning him the respect of his co-stars, including Williams. Though fun in its own way, the movie pales in comparison with the following "Carry On" entry, DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD (1967), an uproarious parody of the French Revolution.
NB. Though often billed as 'Carry On Follow That Camel' and 'Carry On Don't Lose Your Head', neither film has ever been screened under those titles.

FOLLOW THAT CAMEL (Gerald Thomas, 1967) ***
from Naxxar, Malta
9 February 2008
I wasn't really expecting much out of this "Carry On" spoof on Foreign Legion films but it turned out to be a highly agreeable entry in the long-running series. Unusually for them, the film-makers went for an American lead in the person of Phil Silvers then again, his Sgt. Nocker here was directly inspired by the latter's popular Sgt. Bilko characterization (which originated on TV); actually, the clash of comedy styles works surprisingly well here.
Most of the series stalwarts are on hand Kenneth Williams as German fort commandant Burger (with matching short hair); Charles Hawtrey as Captain Le Pice(!); Jim Dale as Beau West(!), a dishonored Englishman who joins the legion (accompanied by loyal valet Peter Butterworth) after losing girlfriend Angela Douglas; Bernard Bresslaw has one of his best roles as the flamboyant villainous sheik; and Joan Sims is Madam Zigzig, hostess of the local tavern. Anita Harris also makes an impression as a sultry belly-dancer.
Apart from the traditional desert-march-fraught-with-mirages sequence, there are a couple of delightful running gags here the naïve Douglas (who decides to stick with Dale) is taken advantage of by several men on her journey to join her lover, and eventually ends in line to being made Bresslaw's 13th wife!; another involves the constant attempts to violently curtail the cock's heralding of each new day by the reluctant soldiers. This good-looking film which actually anticipates the team's other outing with an exotic setting, the even better CARRY ON...UP THE KHYBER (1968) is satisfyingly capped by an action-packed climax.

Die, infidels!
from London, England
18 November 2010
Not sure you could get away with screening this on BBC1 early evening these days, though its strangely reassuring to find that the old Middle Eastern Muslim antipathy goes back 100 years and is hardly anything new. Bernard Bresslaw is a revelation as the swarthy anti-imperialist and I must say I prefer him in this to his similar role in Carry On Up The Kyber, which others prefer.
Many Carry Ons basically take one movie and spoof if, be it The Scarlet Pimpernel, Cleopatra, Hammer horror, James Bond. This one does The Four Feathers, as young posh boy Jim Dale leaves Blighty brokenhearted to join the Foreign Legion, with his trusty manservant in tow.
Production values are high, which makes this a joy to watch on DVD. The desert may be Camber Sands, but as this was filmed in the summer of 1967, you get some lovely shots of blazing blue skies, unlike other Carry Ons which are meant to be balmy summer but in fact were filmed in February.
Kenneth Williams mentions his tensions with interloper Phil Silvers in his diaries, though it's clear he may have been jealous of someone other than him monopolising the conversation. You don't get any sense of this with the first half of the film, where Silvers is on comic form and I personally soon forgot about Sid James, seeing as Silvers offered something different. The pace and interest does slacken towards the end, as there don't seem to be so many Carry On regulars on screen, it lacks that ensemble feel and with the Road films you did get a song or two chucked in to lighten the load.
Within three months, Kenneth Williams and the team were back on filming Carry On Doctor that early autumn. That's a heck of a work ethic.

Decent
from United Kingdom
14 September 2010
This is not one of their best films but I liked it. The story is admittedly thin with a slight overbalance of the Bilko of the Dunes, the film feels rushed sometimes and Joan Sims the great actress she was has sadly little to do here. That said, I liked the set and costume design and the cinematography was good. The script is full of puns and innuendos, and there are some fun jokes particularly the Mustapha Leek one. The acting is decent generally, some of the regulars such as Sims are underused, but Phil Silvers is really quite excellent here, and Kenneth Williams, Jim Dale and Charles Hawtrey play their parts well. Overall, not exceptional but decent. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Bilko meets Carry On
from London, England
11 May 2007
Another of the historical/costume Carry On's see's Phil Silvers join the Carry On team as a guest star. This was the first time one cast members name had been allowed to headline over the others and this was undoutbly done to increase the series appeal in America. However this is rumoured to have caused friction amongst the regular cast members which is possibly one reason for Kenneth Williams even more over the top than usual performance trying to out do Silvers.
The plot line follows Beau (Jim Dale) and his Butler (Petter Butterworth) join the foreign legion in the 1800's their they meet the conniving Seargent Knocker (Silvers). Seargent Knocker is pretty much just Seargent Bilko in the 1800's which is fine by me as Silvers creation of Bilko is a great character and funny even now over fifty years after the series was broadcast. However the problem being at times this does feel like the Phil Silvers show rather than a carry on. The rest of the cast do OK but it has to be said other than Dale and Breslaw they are either not on their usual high form (Williams and Hawtry as the commanding officers) or underused (an excellent Joan Simms who only appears for less than 10mins in total).
Follow that Camel is a funny film but not as funny as the best of the series Silvers adds star power but it hasn't got enough killer lines. There's not one joke that makes you remember this film like the best Carry On's for instance the daffodil in Nurse, Infamy infamy.... in Cleo or the diner scene in Khyber.
Out of 10 I'm giving it a generous 7 as I'm a big Bilko and Carry On fan. 7/10

Old-fashioned and genuinely funny
from United Kingdom
10 December 2014
A surprisingly funny instalment of the CARRY ON franchise, given this film's poor reputation amongst fans. A lot of that ill feeling stems from the presence of Phil Silvers (SGT. BILKO) in the cast, replacing Sid James; Silvers is hardly a perfect fit here, but I found that come the end he had acquitted himself well with the material.
And the story is very enjoyable. This is a broad spoof of the Foreign Legion movie, with an upper class toff (Jim Dale, on fine form) and his manservant (Peter Butterworth, excelling in one of his larger roles) drafted into the Legion to do battle against Bernard Bresslaw (excellent) and his nefarious Arabs.
The cast give some very good performances in this one, particularly Kenneth Williams playing a (bizarrely) German officer. Inevitably the gags come thick and fast, and there's a fair share of hits among them too, including some great sight gags. What I noticed in particular, and it may be the nature of the spoof, is that CARRY ON FOLLOW THAT CAMEL has much more in common with the 1950s-era CARRY ON flicks than the crude 1970s ones, and that's perhaps a reason I enjoyed it so much.

Phil Silvers was a mistake
from Auckland, New Zealand
28 June 2013
The Carry On films represent a particular type of English humour. They are slapstick rather than intellectual, but often show a degree of humanity and pathos lacking in American slapstick. For years it has been customary to condemn Carry On as being low-brow and low-budget. They certainly were low budget, particularly compared with their American equivalents, but they compare favourably with the American movies.
It was a mistake to introduce Phil Silvers into this film. He gives the impression over overacting, whereas the British actors are merely camp. His style of humour is crass rather than subtle. Some have said that he dominated the film. He does not. He detracts from it.
This is an enjoyable movie, though undemanding.

Carry On in the French Foreign Legion
or Bilko in the Desert
7 August 2011
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The title card may not include the words 'Carry On' but it isn't surprising that they are added to TV listings and the DVD title as this film features many of the Carry On regulars. Jim Dale plays Bertram Oliphant 'Bo' West; a man who decides to join the French Foreign Legion after he is dismissed from his cricket club in disgrace after being wrongly accused of lying. Soon after he leaves his beloved Lady Jane Ponsonby, played by Angela Douglas, learns what how he was wronged and sets off to find him. Once in the Legion West and his manservant Simpson find that life is much harder than they expected
that is until they realise the cruel Sergeant Nocker, Phil Silvers, lied to the commandant; claiming to have been battling Arabs in the desert when he had in fact been with a local woman. With this information the soon get treated much better. The local Sheikh is keen to defeat the French and captures Nocker, West and Simpson along with Lady Jane when she arrives; Nocker escapes but by know the commandant has learnt of his lies so doesn't believe him for some time
when he realised what has happened he sets off with the rest of the garrison to mount a rescue.
This film had all the mild innuendo and double entendres one would expect from a Carry On film; none too rude but still sufficiently funny. The regulars give the solid performances one would expect and Phil Silvers is a lot of fun as Sgt. Nocker; a character not dissimilar to Silvers' more famous role: Sgt. Bilko. In this day and age it probably wouldn't be acceptable for a white actor to 'black up' to play an Arab but it was standard practice then and Bernard Bresslaw did a decent job as Sheikh Abdul Abulbul. The story was good enough with a decent plot that gave the team plenty of opportunities to be funny. This might not be one of the classic Carry On films but it is far from being one of the worst so is well worth watching if you have enjoyed other films in the series.

In which continent is the Beardmore Glacier? | Beardmore Glacier | glacier, Antarctica | Britannica.com
Beardmore Glacier
Langjökull
Beardmore Glacier, glacier in central Antarctica , descending about 7,200 ft (2,200 m) from the South Polar Plateau to Ross Ice Shelf , dividing the Transantarctic Mountains of Queen Maud and Queen Alexandra. One of the world’s largest known valley glaciers, it is 125 mi (200 km) long and is 25 mi in width. The British explorers Ernest Henry Shackleton (1908) and Robert Scott (1911) discovered the glacier on their route to the South Pole . Later scientific research found the glacier and the mountains to either side to contain petrified wood and fossils of dinosaurs, mammal-like reptiles, ferns, and coral—evidence of a time when Antarctica possessed a temperate climate.

Glaciers and seas

Glaciation
Antarctica provides the best available picture of the probable appearance 20,000 years ago of northern North America under the great Laurentide Ice Sheet . Some scientists contend that the initial glacier that thickened over time to become the vast East Antarctic Ice Sheet originated in the Gamburtsev Mountains more than 14 million years ago. Other glaciers, such as those forming in the Sentinel Range perhaps as early as 50 million years ago, advanced down valleys to calve into the sea in West Antarctica. Fringing ice shelves were built and later became grounded as glaciation intensified. Local ice caps developed, covering West Antarctic island groups as well as the mountain ranges of East Antarctica. The ice caps eventually coalesced into great ice sheets that tied together West and East Antarctica into the single continent that is known today. Except for a possible major deglaciation as recently as 3 million years ago, the continent has been largely covered by ice since the first glaciers appeared.
Causal factors leading to the birth and development of these continental ice sheets and then to their decay and death are, nevertheless, still poorly understood. The factors are complexly interrelated. Moreover, once developed, ice sheets tend to form independent climatic patterns and thus to be self-perpetuating and eventually perhaps even self-destructing. Cold air masses draining off Antarctic lands, for example, cool and freeze surrounding oceans in winter to form an ice pack, which reduces solar energy input by increasing reflectivity and makes interior continental regions even more remote from sources of open oceanic heat and moisture. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet has grown to such great elevation and extent that little atmospheric moisture now nourishes its central part.

The volume of South Polar ice must have fluctuated greatly at times since the birth of the ice sheets. Glacial erratics and glacially striated rocks on mountain summits now high above current ice-sheet levels testify to an overriding by ice at much higher levels. General lowering of levels caused some former glaciers flowing from the polar region through the Transantarctic Mountains to recede and nearly vanish, producing such spectacular “ dry valleys ” as the Wright, Taylor, and Victoria valleys near McMurdo Sound. Doubt has been shed on the common belief that Antarctic ice has continuously persisted since its origin by the discovery reported in 1983 of Cenozoic marine diatoms —believed to date from the Pliocene Epoch (about 5.3 million to 2.6 million years ago)—in glacial till of the Beardmore Glacier area. The diatoms are believed to have been scoured from young sedimentary deposits of basins in East Antarctica and incorporated into deposits of glaciers moving through the Transantarctic Mountains. If so, Antarctica may have been free or nearly free of ice as recently as about 3 million years ago, when the diatom-bearing beds were deposited in a marine seaway; and the Antarctic Ice Sheet may have undergone deglaciations perhaps similar to those that occurred later during interglacial stages in the Northern Hemisphere. Evidence of former higher sea levels found in many areas of the Earth seems to support the hypothesis that such deglaciation occurred. If Antarctica’s ice were to melt today, for example, global sea levels would probably rise about 150 to 200 feet.
Beardmore Glacier, central Antarctica.
Europe
The Antarctic Ice Sheet seems to be approximately in a state of equilibrium , neither increasing nor decreasing significantly according to the best estimates. Snow precipitation is offset mainly by continental ice moving seaward by three mechanisms—ice-shelf flow, ice-stream flow, and sheet flow. The greatest volume loss is by calving from shelves, particularly the Ross, Ronne, Filchner, and Amery ice shelves. Much loss also occurs by bottom melting, but this is partly compensated by a gain in mass by accretion of frozen seawater . The quantitative pattern and the balance between gain and loss are known to be different at different ice shelves, but melting probably predominates. The smaller ice shelves in the Antarctic Peninsula are currently retreating, breaking up into vast fields of icebergs, likely due to rising temperature and surface melting.

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) has been the subject of much recent research because it may be unstable. The Ross Ice Shelf is largely fed by huge ice streams descending from theWAIS along the Siple Coast. These ice streams have shown major changes—acceleration, deceleration, thickening, and thinning—in the last century or so. These alterations have affected the grounding line, where grounded glaciers lift off their beds to form ice shelves or floating glacier tongues. Changes to the grounding line may eventually transform the WAIS proper, potentially leading to removal of this ice sheet and causing a major rise in global sea level. Although the possibility of all this happening in the next 100 years is remote, major modifications in the WAIS in the 21st century are not impossible and could have worldwide effects.
Strange Geographical Features: Fact or Fiction?
These ice sheets also provide unique records of past climates from atmospheric, volcanic, and cosmic fallout; precipitation amounts and chemistry; temperatures; and even samples of past atmospheres. Thus ice-core drilling, and the subsequent analysis of these cores, has provided new information on the processes that cause climate to change. A deep coring hole at the Russian station Vostok brought up a climate and fallout history extending back more than 400,000 years. Although near the bottom, drilling has stopped because a huge freshwater lake lies between the ice and the bed at this location. Lake Vostok has probably been isolated from the atmosphere for tens of millions of years, leading to speculation of what sort of life may have evolved in this unusual setting. Research is being conducted on how to answer this question without contaminating the water body. Lake Vostok has also attracted the attention of the planetary science community , because it is a possible test site for future study of Jupiter’s moon Ganymede. Ganymede possesses a layer of liquid water beneath a thick ice cover and thus has a potential for harbouring life.

Thousands of meteorites have been discovered on “blue ice” areas of the ice sheets. Only five fragments had been found by 1969, but since then more than 9,800 have been recovered, mainly by Japanese and American scientists. Most specimens appear to have landed on Antarctic ice sheets between about 700,000 and 10,000 years ago. They were carried to blue ice areas near mountains where the ancient ice ablated and meteorites became concentrated on the surface. Most meteorites are believed to be from asteroids and a few from comets, but some are now known to be of lunar origin. Other meteorites of a rare class called shergottites had a similar origin from Mars . One of these Martian shergottites has minute structures and a chemical composition that some workers have suggested is evidence for life, though this claim is very controversial.
The surrounding seas
The seas around Antarctica have often been likened to the moat around a fortress. The turbulent “ Roaring Forties ” and “ Furious Fifties” lie in a circumpolar storm track and a westerly oceanic current zone commonly called the West Wind Drift, or Circumpolar Current . Warm, subtropical surface currents in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans move southward in the western parts of these waters and then turn eastward upon meeting the Circumpolar Current. The warm water meets and partly mixes with cold Antarctic water, called the Antarctic Surface Water, to form a mass with intermediate characteristics called Subantarctic Surface Water. Mixing occurs in a shallow but broad zone of approximately 10° latitude lying south of the Subtropical Convergence (at about 40° S) and north of the Antarctic Convergence (between about 50° and 60° S). The Subtropical Convergence generally defines the northern limits of a water mass having so many unique physical and biological characteristics that it is often given a separate name, the Antarctic, or sometimes the Southern, Ocean; it contains about 10 percent of the global ocean volume.
The two convergences are well defined and important oceanic boundary zones that profoundly affect climates, marine life, bottom sedimentation, and ice-pack and iceberg drift. They are easily identified by rapid changes in temperature and salinity. Antarctic waters are less saline than tropical waters because of their lower temperatures and lesser evaporational concentration of dissolved salts. When surface waters move southward from the Subtropical Convergence zone into the subantarctic climatic belt, their temperatures drop by as much as about 9 to 16 °F (5 to 9 °C). Across the Antarctic Convergence, from the subantarctic into the Antarctic climatic zone, surface-water temperature drops further.

Whereas the pattern of surface currents, controlled largely by the Earth’s rotation, winds, water-density differences, and the geometry of basins, is relatively well understood, that of deeper water masses is more complex and less well known. North-flowing Antarctic Surface Water sinks to about 3,000 feet beneath warmer Subantarctic Surface Water along the Antarctic Convergence to become the Subantarctic Intermediate Water. This water mass, as well as the cold Antarctic Bottom Water , spreads far north beyond the Equator to exchange with waters of the Northern Hemisphere. The movement of the Antarctic Bottom Water is identifiable in the Atlantic as far north as the Bermuda Rise. Currents near the continent result in a circumferential belt of surface-water divergence accompanied by upwelling of deeper water masses.
Two forms of floating ice masses build out around the continent: (1) glacier-fed semipermanent ice shelves, some of enormous size, such as the Ross Ice Shelf , and (2) an annually frozen and melted ice pack that in winter reaches to about 56° S in the Atlantic and 64° S in the Pacific. Antarctica has been called the pulsating continent because of the annual buildup and retreat of its secondary ice-fronted coastline. Pushed by winds and currents, the ice pack is in continual motion. This movement is westward in the coastal belt of the East Wind Drift at the continent edge and eastward (farther north) at the belt of the West Wind Drift. Icebergs —calved fragments of glaciers and ice shelves—reach a northern limit at about the Subtropical Convergence. With an annual areal variation about six times as great as that for the Arctic ice pack, the Antarctic pack doubtless plays a far greater role in varying heat exchange between ocean and atmosphere and thus probably in altering global weather patterns. Long-term synoptic studies, now aided by satellite imagery, show long-period thinning in the Antarctic ice-pack regimen possibly related to global climate changes .

Opium Wars
As part of the Deep Sea Drilling Project conducted from 1968 to 1983 by the U.S. government, the drilling ship Glomar Challenger undertook several cruises of Antarctic and subantarctic waters to gather and study materials on and below the ocean floor. Expeditions included one between Australia and the Ross Sea (1972–73); one in the area south of New Zealand (1973); one from southern Chile to the Bellingshausen Sea (1974); and two in the Drake Passage and Falkland Islands area (1974 and 1979–80). Among the ship’s most significant findings were hydrocarbons discovered in sediments of Paleogene and Neogene age (i.e., some 66 million to 2.6 million years old) in the Ross Sea and rocks carried by icebergs from Antarctica found in late Oligocene sediments (those roughly 28 to 23 million years old) at numerous locations. Researchers inferred from these ice-borne debris that Antarctica was glaciated at least 25 million years ago.
Internationally funded drilling operations began in 1985 with the Ocean Drilling Program , using the new drilling vessel JOIDES Resolution to expand earlier Glomar Challenger studies. Studies in the Weddell Sea (1986–87) suggested that surface waters were warm during Late Cretaceous to early Cenozoic time and that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet did not form until about 10 million to 5 million years ago, which is much later than inferred from evidence on the continent itself. Drilling of the Kerguelen Plateau near the Amery Ice Shelf (1987–88) entailed the study of the rifting history of the Indian- Australian Plate from East Antarctica and revealed that this submerged plateau—the world’s largest such feature—is of oceanic origin and not a continental fragment, as had been previously thought.

Which French driver won the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix, his first Formula One victory? | Automobile Racing in 1996 | Britannica.com

Grand Prix Racing
Ringling Bros. Folds Its Tent
Formula One automobile racing gained added interest in 1996 because 1995 world champion Michael Schumacher of Germany transferred from the Benetton-Renault team to Ferrari, whose cars became effective only when the season of 16 races was nearly over. Damon Hill, a British driver who was following the great career of his father, Graham, was the most obvious challenger to Schumacher. Jacques Villeneuve, a French-Canadian on the Williams team, proved another factor in the final outcome, however, almost winning the first round at Melbourne, Australia, before giving way to Hill because of engine problems.
It became clear from the outset that the World Drivers’ Championship was likely to be a bitter battle between Hill and Schumacher, and indeed it was not settled until the final race in Japan. Hill drove a marvelous race to win the second round, the Brazilian Grand Prix at São Paulo, in almost impossible conditions of torrential rain and near-impossible visibility; Villeneuve slid off the track under the difficult racing conditions. The scene then moved to Argentina, where at Buenos Aires Hill won an exciting race from Villeneuve by 12 seconds, proving again the superiority of the Renault-engined Williams cars, which were as far ahead of the opposition as they had been in 1995.
The next race was the Grand Prix of Europe at Nürburgring, Ger., where the promise of the newcomer Villeneuve was demonstrated over a difficult course. He gained his first Formula One victory and proved well able to hold off Schumacher’s Ferrari. At the San Marino Grand Prix, Hill won his fourth race.
The Monaco Grand Prix, the only true road race, with all its traditional hazards, was a disaster for Hill, whose Williams-Renault was in the lead when the engine blew up. Villeneuve also failed to finish, and the winner was Olivier Panis of France in a Ligier-Mugen-Honda, the first Grand Prix victory for that car since 1981. By this time the Ferraris were beginning to improve, and Schumacher gave a perfect exhibition of car control at great speeds in the rain in the Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona, for his first victory of the season.

The racing went next to Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix. Villeneuve’s supporters were out in force to see the local boy win, but he was unable to match the experience of Hill, who triumphed once again. In the French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours, the Williams-Renaults again proved to be superior as Hill led from start to finish, followed by Villeneuve. At Silverstone, where a vast crowd of hopeful Britishers willed Hill to win, he made one of his hopeless starts and later retired with brake problems. Villeneuve took Hill’s place and thereby ensured victory at least for a British-based car in this British Grand Prix. In the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim, it was looking as if Ferrari might finally triumph, but then the engine of Austrian driver Gerhard Berger failed near the end of the race, and Hill was able to score another win. In the Hungarian Grand Prix at Budapest, Hill made up for a muffed start and almost overtook his teammate, but Villeneuve was the winner by a small margin.
Next was the tricky Spa circuit in Belgium, where both the Williams-Renaults had unexpected problems, which allowed Schumacher to win for Ferrari. In the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Schumacher delighted the furiously supportive Ferrari crowd with a victory. Hill eliminated himself by colliding with tire markers erected at the turns to indicate the high curbs, which the drivers themselves had approved of in practice. Schumacher also hit this obstacle, but less hard, and his Ferrari continued on to victory.
Classic Children’s Books
At the Portuguese Grand Prix at Estoril, it was Villeneuve’s day. He outpaced Hill, in spite of the latter’s fine start, and made the overtaking maneuver of the year when he passed Schumacher’s Ferrari around the outside at a corner.

This left everything to drive for at Suzuka in Japan, where the championship would be clinched. Before a delirious British contingent, Hill won by a narrow margin from Schumacher’s Ferrari. Prior to Hill’s magnificent year for Williams, however, had come the announcement that Frank Williams had dispensed with Hill’s place on the Williams team for 1997. William C. Boddy
U.S. Auto Racing
The Indianapolis 500-mi classic, now a part of Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner Tony George’s Indy Racing League (IRL) schedule, faced its first competition ever. Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART), an organization of the car owners, defected and staged its own 500-mi race on the same day at the Michigan International Speedway. This intensified a battle for supremacy between the two organizations, which developed quickly into a struggle for racing venues and corporate backers. Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Ford, and Toyota built engines for CART, and Oldsmobile and Nissan did the same for the new IRL race cars that were to debut in 1997.
At the Indianapolis 500, Buddy Lazier of Hemelgarn Racing, driving a Reynard-Ford with a special seat to allay pain from a crash nine weeks earlier that broke his back in 16 places, won $1,370,000 of a record $8.1 million purse, finishing less than one second ahead of Davy Jones in a Lola-Mercedes. Lazier’s average speed was 147.956 mph. Richie Hearn (Reynard-Ford) was third. The inaugural IRL season also included races at Phoenix, Ariz.; Orlando, Fla.; Las Vegas, Nev., and Loudon, N.H.
After a 12-car crash just before the start sent most of the field into backup cars, only two drivers finished all 250 laps in the competing CART race. Jimmy Vasser in a Reynard-Honda bested Mauricio Gugelmin (Reynard-Ford) by 10.995 sec., averaging 156.403 mph. Vasser, driving for Chip Ganassi, won the CART season championship, which included competitions in Brazil, Australia, and Canada.
The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) enjoyed a banner year. The Winston Cup, its premier series, went down to the finale of a 31-race season before Terry Labonte dethroned his Rick Hendricks Chevrolet teammate Jeff Gordon 4,657 points to 4,620. Dale Jarrett in a Ford Thunderbird finished third, 52 points behind Gordon. Labonte, who had been champion in 1984, won only twice to Gordon’s 10 times, but he was more consistent.

Jarrett included the Daytona 500, the Charlotte Coca Cola 600, and the Indianapolis Brickyard 400--NASCAR’s three richest events--among his four victories. At Daytona he edged seven-time Winston champion Dale Earnhardt by 0.12 seconds. At Indianapolis he defeated Ernie Ervan, and at Charlotte he beat Earnhardt by 11.982 seconds. Randy LaJoie won the NASCAR Busch series crown over David Green, and in the Craftsman Truck Series Ron Hornaday, Jr., won over Jack Sprague. All drove Chevrolet-powered vehicles.
The International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) staged a nine-race series in its World Sports Car category. Cars with Oldsmobile and Ford engines challenged Ferrari 333 SPs in the competition, which included the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Driving a Doyle racing car with an Oldsmobile engine, Wayne Taylor won both the Daytona and the Sebring events and also gained the drivers’ championship. Oldsmobile later announced that it was curtailing its IMSA program to concentrate on IRL engine development. In the Sports Car Club of America Trans-Am series, Tom Kendall edged Dorsey Schroeder. Both were driving Ford Mustangs. Robert J. Fendell

Can you see through these real-life optical illusions?
Psephology is the scientific study of elections. Someone who specializes in psephology is known as a psephologist . Psephologists compile a broad assortment of data in order to understand more about the electoral process, the government, and how people make decisions at the polls. Employment in this field is quite varied. Some psephologists, for example, work for political campaigns, advising the candidates and providing suggestions, while others work for media outlets, polling organizations, and universities.
This term is derived from the Greek word for “pebble,” referencing the pebbles used by the Ancient Greeks to cast their votes. The word “ ballot ” is also a reference to this practice, coming from the Italian word for a small stone used to cast a vote. As a side note, a government which has been chosen by election is a psephocracy, if you want to have an interesting word in your arsenal for dull dinner parties.
Statistics is one of the core aspects of psephology. Psephologists compile data from previous elections and use it in an attempt to project results in ongoing election cycles. They use material collected from polls, interviews, and other sources to make their predictions as accurate as possible. Election results are influenced by obvious things, like the platform of the candidate, but they are also influenced by the weather, the economy, and a variety of other factors, all of which must be taken into account when making projections.
Psephologists also study the psychology of elections. They look at which campaign tools work, and why, and why some people say they will vote one way but actually vote in opposition. Things like exit polls and opinion polls are studied and contrasted with real election results to come up with corrections which can be used to make these polls more accurate, and issues like campaign financing, political advertising, stump speeches, and a variety of other topics are also encompassed in psephology.
An interest in politics is a definite bonus for someone who wants to study psephology, as is strength in math, especially statistics, and the ability to sort through a great deal of information, some of which may be conflicting. Some psephologists also like to study psychology, sociology, and economics so that they can form a bigger picture of the circumstances surrounding the elections they study.
As Disraeli supposedly once said, there are “lies, [darned] lies, and statistics,” and psephology is no exception. People behave in unpredictable ways, and it's impossible to accurately predict the outcome of an election, although people can come close. As the Chicago Tribune learned to its chagrin in 1948 when it printed the infamous “Dewey Defeats Truman” headline, mistakes in psephology tend to be remembered.
