The Way I Dress: Mr Santa Claus
As the public face of an iconic brand, Mr Santa Claus needs to send a consistent visual message to potential customers. In this exclusive interview he allows us a glimpse of the extraordinary wardrobe he keeps in his contemporary home, reveals that he believes he works in the creative industries, rather than the retail sector, and shows off a previously unseen tattoo.
Mr Claus made his name with his pioneering business model, which sees his organisation give away a vast number of children's gifts each year, to publicise its bestselling range of Christmas merchandise. Between his ranges of cards, sweets, toys and decorations, not to mention the licensing of his image for adverts, and his employment agency, which supplies stores all over the world with look-a-likes, Mr Claus' trademark appearance is big business. No wonder he puts so much time, and investment, into his remarkable visual identity.
Asked during filming about his plans for 2013 Mr Claus mentioned the fortnight he takes each January to recover from the Christmas rush – he likes the Amandari hotel in Bali – and the annual February awayday he organises for his team to brainstorm ideas for the year ahead. However, Mr Claus wouldn't comment on recent speculation in the financial press that he's considering taking on the confectionary industry with a new Easter project, although his reticence may be due to his recent run-in with the regulatory authorities over monopoly issues.

Before I dive into my review, here is a background as to what made me switch putters :
In early August I started with an awesome putting coach. Before I started working with him I was missing everything and recently came off a tournament with two 4 putts in the round. As I'm beginning to enjoy and play tournament golf making putts was about to become really important to me. I used a Taylormade Spider Tour Red for about 9 months, but the look killed me. found it so irritatingly huge and wanted something a little slimmer. I then decided to switch to an OdysseyWorks #7 for 6 months. Was overall positive about it, but as my stroke got sloppy my confidence decreased and I pulled putts endlessly. I went into my first putting session with my Odyssey. By the end of it my stroke and set up were pretty pure. But I was still pulling putts. I aimed down my line and my coach looked from behind me, laughed and said "where are you aimed?" And I said "dead straight!" And he goes "nope your way open." I set up again and wham. Same thing. We then found out that I am left eye right hand dominant or "Cross Dominant." The double bend shaft style was causing me to aim left, when my eyes thought I was straight. Then he broke the news to me ... "yeah, uh, you need a new putter." He then slapped a center shafted putter in my hands and I was dead on. The search for a new flatstick began.
My review of the Bettinardi Studio Stock #28 :
I came away from my fitting with a Bettinardi Studio Stock 28 CS Slotback. My heart had wanted a Scotty Cameron for so long, I bought the marketing hype, and wanted to have one as a golf status symbol. But the results were over and over again showing that the Betti was a beast. The milling is masterful, the feel off the face is very very soft which suits my style. The look over the ball is simple and elegant. Plus the center shaft style has helped me greatly with my alignment. It's similar to an ER2 in that it's a blade style with some extra meat on the back which I like. It also gives the look of a blade with the forgiveness of a mallet. Overall very happy with this flat stick. Putting is now night and day compared to what it was. I will say, if I have to reach a little bit and find one flaw with it I wasn't a fan at all of the standard grip, I use a SS Flatso 1.0 so the stock grip wasn't my taste. But that's my only gripe. I've now been converted to a huge Bettinardi Fan, and don't see myself changing the flat stick for a long, long time.

I have a set of JPX 919 hot metal pro irons, 4 - GW, kbs c taper light stiff shafts, that have been played for about 15 rounds and hit for 5 range sessions. Still pretty much look new (will post pictures later), but looking to potentially trade for a set of black cobra forged tec irons in similar shape, or a set of 919 forged. The clubs are fine, but the added distance I get compared to my old clubs is a little more than I need.
All standards for length, lie, etc. If in the metro Detroit area, would be willing to meet up to make the trade to save on shipping.

My name is Matt I'm 36 that lives here in Mechanicsville, VA (Richmond Area). I have 2 awesome little daughters who are 8 and 7, and an amazing gorgeous wife who is way too hot for me and out of my league. I'm pretty lucky. I work in IT for the IRS, love all Chicago sports teams Bears, Cubs, Blackhawks, and Bulls. I am obsessed with Disney as is my family, we go once if not twice a year every year. I have been an avid golfer since I was 13. Before I met the best thing ever to come into my life, my wife, golf really saved me when I got out of the Air Force in 2006 and was dealing with PTSD. I got my handicap down to a 5, because I fully immersed myself into it to get away from all my demons, and horrible thoughts in my head. For these reasons, I will never turn my back on the sport as it was there when I needed something that can't be explained the most at that point in my life. Unfortunately due to 4 knee surgeries a meniscus repair, a meniscus removal after tearing it for the 2nd time 4 years to the day after I tore it the first time, a meniscus implant, and a clean out around my ACL, my game has slipped severely over the last 9 years since my original injury in 2010, and only being able to play as much as my knee would let me. My knee is finally back to 100% and can dive back into the sport I love. I am currently a 15 handicap and working my way back down slowly. I never lost my swing, but I need to get back to where I was mentally. All of my extra strokes come from mental errors and minor misses, and getting down on myself because I know I can be as good as I once was if not better. I have gamed Mizuno JPX 800 Pro forged irons the last 6 years since 2013, and have always felt there is no better feeling iron to me than Mizuno's, then I went out on a whim, and decided to overhaul my whole bag from bag all the way down to putter this year. I got fitted for PXG 0211's and from the moment I hit the first ball, I was addicted to them. So without further ado here is the review below.
These are from our Disney trip we just got back home from on Aug 18th. Also, sorry for such large photos (but details right?).
About the club
These are PXG's first cast club. I feel they are PXG's answer to reach the masses, and make an affordable club for all golfers.
According to their website they state "We packed our 0211s with three key GEN2 technologies. First and most important is a hollow body design filled with our proprietary COR2 polymer, the world's thinnest club face (made possible by the COR2) and a 360-degree undercut perimeter channel around the club face that expands the functional size of the face. These three technologies combined result in a club that goes farther, launches higher, feels softer, sounds great, is more forgiving and has a sweet spot the size of Texas."
Looks 10 out of 10
The PXG 0211 irons are a progressive iron set, meaning the amount of offset gradually decreases the shorter the clubs become. For example, the 4-iron has slightly more offset than the 5, and so on through the wedges.
Progressive sets offer more forgiveness in the long irons, where it's needed most for all golfers. There isn't much offset needed in the 8-iron up due to golfers being more proficient with them.
In the long irons, the 0211 have a very good offset and a little noticeable sole sticking out past the top line. When you get to the scoring irons, the 0211 there is less offset and less sole sticking out.
I would put these into the middle of a players and game improvement iron. They have somewhat of a slim top line, a decently wide sole, and the blades are longer than most players irons, and Bob Parsons wasn't lying when he said they have a sweet spot the size of Texas.
They are absolutely gorgeous at address.
Sorry these are the only photos I have at address and it's the PW. But aren't the center strike ball marks BEAUTIFUL?
Sound & Feel 10 out of 10
These feel absolutely smoother than any golf club I have ever hit. Forged or cast, this is due to hollow body design with their proprietary COR2 polymer. When hit they leave no doubt that the ball is going for a long ride. They are very very soft with a spring like sensation off center faced strikes. It has a very nice strong and clean mid pitch at impact, that gives immediate feedback for mishits, which are hard to do with their sweet spot.
Performance 10 out of 10
Having been fitted by a PXG fitter I had high expectations for what theses should produce, these expectations were met and surpassed in all categories.
Borrowed this from another site so I'm quoting "The 0211 features the same face material (HT1770 maraging steel) as the 0311 GEN2, which works in conjunction with PXG's more responsive second generation COR2 polymer material – the goo filling that allows for the thinnest iron face on the market – to preserve ball speed across the whole of the face.
Like the 0311 GEN2, it offers an internal face perimeter cut-out. It's a design which leverages an undercut cavity and moves the weld lines between the two pieces to the outer perimeter of the club (as opposed to on the face itself). It's a forgiveness-boosting feature that makes for an effectively larger face without increasing the size of the clubhead."
The forgiveness and the wider soles is where the clubs really shine and help make thin misses playable and not penalize the player as bad as some other irons would.
I have found the spin in the short to mid irons to be sufficient enough to hold greens, and not send the ball rolling off once they land, and the wedges paired with a good quality ball makes it easy to zip the ball back something I haven't been able to do in a long time.
Where the progressive design helps me most is in the 5 iron, with the extra offset, I can launch the ball easier than my old 5 iron and not worry about it going anywhere but straight.
I have gained 10-12 yards of carry over my old Mizuno's. This could be impart to being slightly stronger lofted clubs as well, but I feel it has more to do with newer technology and a faster face. PXG also claims these have "the thinnest face in golf" and I haven't seen any other company argue this.
Upgrades 5 out of 10
I give the upgrades a 5 because they don't offer many shaft options comparatively to competitors (they have the same number of brands but the shaft models are more limited than other brands), and the upgrade price on shafts is on par with other manufacturers. I do feel the shaft offerings fit a large variety of golfers, and my fitter had me dialed into my shaft within about 20 minutes, then went through every club to ensure that it would suit me through every iron.
The biggest drop in score here is there are no additional grips that can be upgraded to. The only option is the Lamkin Z5 which I gave a try, and hated after 1 round due to not being tacky and soft enough but this is purely subjective on how you like your grips. I quickly replaced them with my preferred Winn Dri-Tacs.
Quite shocking since PXG is known to be all custom built, the 0211s have what amounts to a true stock shaft offering for the first time. True Temper's new Elevate is the steel offering. The standard Elevate is a 95g offering (available in R and S flex), and the Elevate Tour 115g (available in S and X flexes). I was fitted with the Elevate Tour through all my irons.
Both Elevate shafts feature VSS (Vibration Suppression System) technology. A fresh take on the Sensicore principle, VSS reduces unwanted vibrations by 71% in the standard Elevate, while VSS PRO reduces unwanted vibrations by 56% in the Elevate Tour.
The graphite offering is the just-released MMT from Mitsubishi.
Fitters and buyers will still have access to PXG's full shaft matrix, but there is a per club upcharge of $25 (both steel and graphite) to move out of the stock offerings.
Stock Grips
Miscellaneous 10 out of 10
First and foremost the customer service is OUTSTANDING, they keep you informed through the whole process all you have to do is call and ask. You can call 844-PLAY-PXG and they will set you up with a fitter at no expense to you. They sent my fitter from 2 hours away and spent 3 hours with me. There was absolutely no pressure from his end either for me to make a purchase.
They have a 30 day playability guarantee and a 1 year manufacturer's warranty on defects.
Also, the boxes these come in are the nicest, sturdiest, best looking boxes I have ever seen golf clubs come in.
Sorry the photo isn't the best, I was excited to get the boxes open and check the clubs out so I just snapped a quick photo.
Price 7/10 out of 10
My reasoning for the 7/10 out of 10 is if you're an Active duty member, Veteran, or First Responder and can be verified through ID.ME on their website the price is 10/10, you can snag these for the same price if not less than any other major brand out there. I paid $105 an iron for mine, but they have raised the price to $125 an iron for steel or graphite. Also, if you buy six of them you receive a free Gen 1 driver of your choice, and are offered a Gen 1 putter of your choice for $95, which I took advantage of both offerings opting for the 0811XF and Mustang putter.
If you do not fall into these categories they will run you $195 an iron for steel offering, and $210 for graphite and this is the reasoning for a 7/10.
Shipping costs $30 for a single iron, $60 for irons and woods , and $100 for a whole set. Also, it is a direct signature required VIA FedEx this guarantees they hit your hands and not stolen off your porch. If you're lucky enough to live in the area, you can also pick them up from their headquarters for free.
Conclusion and Overall 10 out of 10
I give the clubs a 10 out of 10 overall because they are absolutely one of the best clubs I have ever gamed, demoed, swung. Now I know this is very subjective as well, and what works for me won't work for the masses. I would not think twice if asked if I recommend these clubs, because I would a million times over. PXG's goal with the 0211 irons was to bring the performance and feel of their 0311 irons to golfers at a lower price. They blew this goal out of the water.
The progressive set is designed extremely well to fit the vast majority of golfers, although it doesn't offer the flexibility of the different 0311 models. If price has been scaring you away from PXG irons, call and get fitted because these are budget friendly comparative to their other models, and even more so for military, veterans and first responders.
Please let me know what you think of my first review, and it's okay to be brutally critical I can handle it I'm a big boy.

Range Rover Sport 3.0 SD HSE 2012 Road Test
Eight-speed ZF automatic transmission makes the 2012 Range Rover Sport a better, sportier drive than it was before.
The Range Rover Sport used to have an image problem.
It was born in an age when some people were making too much money out of money itself. The consequences of which we are all now suffering.
With a supercharged V8 engine, it was Land Rover's fastest car.
And it drank like an alcoholic.
Yet, despite its sporty performance on tarmac, it was still as capable off road as a Discovery or a Range Rover.
And over the years it has been hugely improved, to the extent that the latest 3.0 V6 diesel makes some kind of sense.
With its new eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, it's certainly a hoot to drive. Far more composed on corners than the taller Range Rover and Discovery 4. And though our car was an HSE, it was optioned onto the smaller 19-inch wheels with 255/55 R19 Pirelli Scorpions. (I would advise anyone buying an HSE to do the same.)
To keep tax costs down you have to go for the lower output 211PS V6 diesel at £260 a year. The quicker 256PS version is a wallet busting £445 a year, though if you have £55,995 to spend on one you probably won't to be too bothered about that extra £185 a year.
There's obviously lots of profit in the Discovery based Range Rover Sport because you get less metal and fewer seats for more money.
But it's a lovely machine to drive and ride in with beautifully accurate, satisfying steering, much quicker lock-to-lock than a Range Rover.
To my mind, it steers, rides and handles better than an Audi Q5, a BMW X5, a Porsche Cayenne or a VW Touareg. Though some might prefer the outrageous BMW X6.
And, of course, it's far more capable off road or in snow than any of these big-wheeled, fat-tyred Surrey school run pretenders.
The Range Rover Sport may be starting to show its years a bit, and Premier League footballers and their WAGs may shun it in favour of newer models with blingier wheels, but that's a good thing. You don't want people thinking you're one of them.
You want them to think you probably have a large farm our country estate prone to becoming snowbound in winter. You need a Discovery 4 for domestic duties and a Range Rover Sport for your longer business trips.
32mpg isn't brilliant. Nothing like as good as a Jaguar XF or a Jaguar XJ with the same basic diesel engine.
But Jags don't ford rivers, cross fields and drive you to shooting butts.

Who knows travel better than those who have dedicated their lives to it? In this series, 7travel talks travel & tips with industry experts. Learn the best travel tips, what mistakes not to make, and what destinations should be on your to-visit list.
Hawaii is one of those destinations where travellers return year after year without batting an eye. Paradise awaits on each of its islands. We spoke to Giselle Radulovic, Country Manager of Hawaii Tourism Oceania, to find out how visitors - repeat visitors and first-timers alike - can get the most out of a Hawaiian holiday, as well as best overall travel tips.
7travel: What are some of your favourite destinations around the world?
Radulovic: When I think about all the travel in my life - and there has been a lot, luckily - I realise that there is a common theme: I love holidays with a bit of adventure and a focus on nature and the outdoors. Some of my all-time favourite destinations have been Patagonia, the Galapagos Islands, and Antarctica. Last year I went to Uganda & Rwanda to see the mountain Gorillas, which has been on my bucket list for a long time. At the same time, you can also have an adventure exploring a great city such as New York or Paris. Walking the streets and getting lost along the way is the best way - that's when you'll find that standout neighbourhood or restaurant that becomes one of your favourite memories.
That's what I love about Hawaii. Waikiki has world class nightlife, shopping and dining, but just a short drive away you can find yourself off the beaten path on a quiet beach or in a state park walking in a tropical rainforest. You really get the best of both worlds.
7travel: What is it about Hawaii that keeps visitors returning year after year?
Radulovic: Hawaii is the kind of place that you can visit time and time again and still have things to do to tick off your list. In fact, the repeat visitation to Hawaii for Australians is about 48%. On Oahu alone, there's so much to explore - you couldn't possibly do it all in one trip.
Each of Hawaii's six islands offer totally different holiday experiences so if you haven't ventured past O'ahu then visiting a neighbour island is a must. There's everything from volcanoes to rainforests, whale watching and, of course, amazing beaches to explore. There are numerous daily flights between Oahu and neighbour islands and these flights only take 25-40 minutes. I recommend that first-time visitors stay on Oahu first and then visit a neighbour island for a few days for a different perspective.
7travel: What are some of the lesser-known must-do activities that visitors can enjoy at world-famous Waikiki?
Radulovic: If you want to have an authentic local experience, take a very short drive from Waikiki to visit Honolulu's neighbouring inner suburbs. One of my favourite areas is Kaka'ako, which is right near downtown Honolulu. My pick would be to visit SALT at Kaka'ako – a cultural precinct just 10 minutes away from Ala Moana made up of local boutiques, trendy restaurants and bars. Every year in February, the streets are transformed during the Pow Wow street art festival – the art created is incredible and stays for up for the year.
7travel: When travelling to Hawaii, what are the pros and cons to having 'touristy' experiences?
Radulovic: For some travellers, the point of a holiday is to have someone else do the heavy lifting for you. And that's the best part of 'tourist' experiences: a lot of thought has gone into planning to make these experiences really wonderful for tourists. For example if you take a whale watching tour on Maui, you will be looked after by experienced guides who know the best vantage points to see whales and have expert local knowledge and insights.
But, generally speaking, popular tourist attractions will be busy, so you need to plan ahead and book when necessary. For some people, planning too much in advance takes away from the spontaneity they're looking for in a holiday, they'd much rather just wake up in the morning and decide what to do that day.
7travel: What do you look for in a holiday?
Radulovic: I look for active holidays where I'm out and about, seeing things I've never seen before. But at the end of each trip, I also try to have some down time. Ideally, I'd end a holiday with 3-4 days staying at a lovely hotel or accommodation just to relax and unwind a bit more. For example, last year I spent a very intensive two weeks driving around Uganda, just myself and a tour guide. Lots of early starts and long days, and long treks to find the mountain Gorillas. At the end of the trip I flew home via Cape Town for 4 days to have a rest after my holiday! I stayed on the beach, and pampered myself with spa treatments and cocktails at the pool bar.
7travel: Finally, do you have any big packing tips or tricks that you can share with us?
Radulovic: There's a school of thought that says you should roll your clothes. In fact, I was taught how to do it best by a friend who is an expert packer, so now that's what I do. Rolling your clothes means you can use every little crevice in your suitcase and I would say it increases your packing space by about 30%.

Let me introduce you to a very unique site called Bluewitchceramics.com. In December of 2010 I did a review of their French Bull Dog Salt and Pepper Shakers. If you would like to read it please click here. Because I enjoyed the first review so well, I contacted them again to see if they would like to participate in another review. They kindly agreed and offered to send me an item of my choice to review. But, before I start telling you all about it, lets back track a little and tell you about their company.
Bluewitchceramics.com is a family run and owned business, dedicated to providing hand crafted collectible pieces of art work to their customers. Art Schuller and sister- in- law Pomm Bunyakhet Madame Pomm) have ran this excellent business since 2007. Madame Pomm is a gifted artist that puts her creativity and talent into each piece, along with some help from other talented artists as well. She started out by making mugs and has expanded to making Salt & Pepper Shakers, Picture Holders, Banks, Key Chains, Ornaments, and Magnets. The majority of her creative pieces include dogs in all different breeds and colors. If you are shopping for mugs, she not only offers a wide variety of dog breeds, but also other animals, aquatic life, flowers, sports and more.
If you are a dog lover, and I am sure there are plenty of you out there, then this is definitely a site you will want to check out! I tried to review the Shiatsu Salt and Pepper Shakers, but they were currently out of stock, so I then decided upon a bank. Next, I had to choose exactly which one to review, but it was so hard since everything is basically equally as eye catching as the next. Each piece has it's very own personality, this is because each piece is hand painted. so no one piece is the same. They are definitely something that you will not come across in just any old store, which makes them even more unique.
I really liked the Bull Terrior Bank -Tiger Decorated, but I couldn't resist the BULL DOG BANK RED COLLAR. My older sister use to always have bull dogs when we were growing up, and I just always thought they were an interesting breed. With their short stubby legs and droopy faces how could you resist them! The Bull Dog Bank arrived in pristine condition. I immediately noticed all of the detail that was put into this artistic piece of art work.
The studded red collar definitely sets off this bank and gives it a very unique edge! The Bull Dog bank makes the perfect size to save up for a little something. I have been using mine to save up for a coffee each week, and then once I empty it, I start saving for another one. It's kind of like my crazy coffee spending stash! Or, you could think of your pet and save up for doggie treats or pet bills.
The Bull Dog Bank fits quarters, nickels, pennies and dimes, so no matter what change you have it all fits. This bank looks perfect sitting on my mantle and definitely gets everyone talking. I think they would make a great gift for any dog lover, or one of those people that seem to have everything. It's hard not to find a breed you don't like, as they offer well over fifty breeds to choose from! Be sure to check out their site and find an item you will fall in love with too!
BUY IT: You can purchase a Bull Dog Bank Red Collar for $44.95, which is a great deal considering all of the hard work and detail put into this amazing product.
*Disclaimer - Blue Witch Ceramics let me select an item to review. In no way did this alter my opinion of their products. All of my opinions are one hundred percent honest and true.*

Earlier, we found the HTC One M8 Ace making an appearance at @evleaks and now official images of the device have leaked showing it to be in red and blue color options. What appears from the images is that the HTC One M8 Ace seems to have a plastic and more curvy version of the latest released premium aluminum-clad version of the HTC One M8.
The One M8 Ace is made entirely out of polycarbonate, which saves manufacturing costs and puts it in a better competing position against the Samsung Galaxy S5. At the back, there's no dual camera setup, and the LED flash is right above the rumored either 8MP or 13MP snapper.
These official images have been obtained by a Twitter user and the device flaunts the same design style the original HTC One M8 and the One Mini 2. The BoomSound stereo preachers that are found with various premium HTC flagships are available here too.
Looking at the specs of the device, it includes a 5" 1080p display, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC clocked at 2.5GHz. Other specs as to whether the phone will host the same "Duo Camera" could not be said at the moment. A possibility of an IR Blaster is also there. The phone is likely to hit the stores with a price tag of $500, but till date no specific information is available as to when will it make to the stores. A Chinese version of the HTC One M8 Ace with the name HTC Ace Vogue has earlier appeared previously which is likely to get announced today.

By BOND HUBERMAN
This Saturday, artist and composer Paul Rucker displays a special art collection associated with his Pilchuck residency at 1426 Studios as a part of their Open House (November 13, 4pm – 8pm).
His eclectic collection includes this horn (the blue thing he's playing below that looks like it fell out of a Dr. Seuss book), which he made with the help of glass artists during his residency there.
It's a functional instrument; he played it at Soliloquy during City Arts Fest 2010, emitting a sound that falls somewhere between a tiny fog horn's and a "snarfblatt's." (Oh, yes. That's an allusion to Disney's The Little Mermaid.)
Can you guess what he calls it?
Some prize – to be determined by me – goes to whomever guesses closest (or most creatively) in the comments section [on CityArtsOnline.com – for you P-I readers].

A highlight to everyone's season was the opening game, beating Arsenal 3-1 away, a result that proved to be a wake-up call for Arsenal—after they went out and bought Mesut Ozil, they began to look like a team that could conceivably win the league. For us, though, it was merely the harbinger of a season that would be marked by highs (thrilling wins against Man City and Southampton) and lows (pretty much the last eight games). Not an anomaly, exactly, but an illustration of how hard Villa's performances would be to predict.
Going to the Globe again yesterday, only the heartiest optimist would have expected a win. Villa started the day with four losses, a draw, and a win in their last six games, while Arsenal was in better form with three wins, two draws, and one loss. Notwithstanding the August result at the Emirates, Villa's record against Arsenal in the Premier League is something like 3 wins, 6 draws, and 12 losses—let's face it, they own us. And, worst of all, the game would be played at Villa Park, a once-proud fortress now derided by Premier League diving champion Ashley Young as an easy place to go and pick up some points.
Much as any of us would have wanted to dispute that, with Arsenal in 3rd place with 45 points, and Villa in 11th with 23, the most likely scenario involved Arsenal's return to the top of the table.
All the same, no matter how bad it looks, a true fan puts on his colors and walks into the lion's den—or, in this case, the Globe, an Arsenal bar when it's not a Villa one, made all the more so by the proclivities of one of its owners, Gary Winters. Helping Simon hang the handsome new Chicago Villans flag, I felt as though I had passed a minor true-fan milestone of my own. (Even if my subpar work with a thumbtack meant that the flag had to be rehung by an Arsenal supporter partway through the first half. "We've got them working for us now," quipped Simon, reassuring me that I was not yet off the flag-raising team.)
Villa are usually good for 10-15 minutes of sprightly play before they start falling back to the bunkers, but this time it looked as though they had mistaken the referee's whistle for the bugle horn of retreat.
As the official Villa media Tweeted and Facebooked photos of Villa Park looking beautiful under the lights, and touted the qualities of its playing surface, the Villa faithful analyzed the starting lineup. What Jack Woodward was calling a 3-5-2, everyone else was calling a 5-3-2, and, as the game got under way, it seemed that Paul Lambert was hoping not to lose his job by not losing the game. Villa are usually good for 10-15 minutes of sprightly play before they start falling back to the bunkers, but this time it looked as though they had mistaken the referee's whistle for the bugle horn of retreat. Would the entire game be played in our 18-yard box? How many goals would Arsenal score before it was all over? These were the two questions paramount in my mind.
And then Nathan Baker took a ball to the head and crumpled to the turf. Simon and I exchanged a few quips about the defender's seemingly magnetized noggin, regretting them when we learned that, far from his usual cranial misadventure, this time he had entirely lost consciousness. Frighteningly, he didn't regain it until he reached the locker room. It's worrying for him—how many blows to the head can he take?—and worrying for Villa, as, say what you like about Baker's finesse, he provides some steel on a fairly fragile back line.
With Lambert substituting Bacuna and changing tactics to a 4-4-2, it's hard to blame the team too much for being wrongfooted. Whatever plan they'd had had been changed without warning, and Arsenal were quick to capitalize. At 34 minutes, Lowton was at fault for a Jack Wilshere goal. It seemed inevitable, and frankly, I wasn't too bothered. Villa have fought back from a goal down this season, and maybe conceding one would break them out of their shell.
When Giroud scored 59 seconds later through Lowton's legs, I was fairly bothered. Would this game turn into an embarrassing blowout?
But something happened. Villa held on until the break. Weimann came on, Benteke came to life, and Lowton atoned for at least one of his errors with a brilliant cross that Benteke met with a powerful diving header to claw back a goal. Now it was Arsenal's turn to look ordinary as Villa began spending more and more time in the visitors' half, launching attack after attack until even the doubters—I can only include myself among them—began to believe that, while victory still lay out of reach, a deserved point would be ours.
It didn't happen. Even with 14 minutes of total added time, we fell short. We lost. But we earned a little pride, perhaps. After all, we may have split the points with Arsenal this season, but we won the home-and-away series 4-3. If this were a cup tie, Arsenal would be going home and Villa would be moving on.
Better luck next year, Gooners!
Reasons for Pessimism
The first half. We may have made a game out of it, but we still got nothing.
Next game: away to Liverpool.
Reasons for Optimism
Benteke scored! Benteke scored! Ending a 12-game goal drought, no less. And, as you'll recall, the Beast was at his best in the second half last year, so hopefully this will get his confidence flowing.
The second half.
Baker's injury, despite his loss of consciousness, has been reported as a mild concussion. After seeing season-ending injuries to Okore and Kozak, hopefully we'll have him back soon.
Reasons for Throwing Up Your Hands
Matt Lowton. Both a defensive liability and an offensive spark yesterday.

shortlisted for the October Book of the Month
18 October 2017
The King's Daughter by Stephanie Churchill
Amazon UK £3.89 £11.81
Amazon US $5.01 $14.99
Amazon CA $18.71
shortlisted for the October Book of the Month
Fantasy /Alternate / Fictional Saga
The King's Daughter is one of those novels that is not strictly Historical Fiction but is worthy of the attention of this site. It does contain nods to real history with brushes with a culture and language that is entirely Roman, hinting that this mythical land might actually exist alongside the known Ancient World. That thought is tantalising, even if the make-up of Prille and Corium, places in the novel, is at a different stage of cultural development.
Irisa has always wondered at the education her father gave her, at the words he spoke to her, the stories he told, but nothing fits until she discovers that rather than being the daughter of an impoverished scribe who went missing three years before, she is the daughter of a dispossessed king. She is wanted by opposing factions to serve their needs and the desires for different claimants to replace the ailing monarch on his throne. Irisa has to survive at court, pulled in different directions, following advice from those who only serve themselves, and fighting against falling in love with the man she is to marry.
This second novel is less dramatic than the first but that is not to say there is not tension or danger; there is, but danger does not always come at the point of a sword. Sometimes it is hidden behind words, a look, a withholding of the truth.
Another accomplished novel from Ms Churchill. You might not like fantasy as a genre, but this novel is perfect for lovers of the Wars of the Roses, and if you are feeling the loss of Game of Thrones, this will feed those hunger pangs.

What to do when the lines are blurred
The Christian life is forever a grand adventure. That's a quote from my friend Chief. He and I have one common ground that forever gets us into trouble. We leap believing a net will appear. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. But it always an adventure. Sometimes those adventures take their toll on me spiritually because the line between living in faith and living in the flesh is sometimes blurred for a personality such as mine. You see, my first action is reaction to any thought. Any. That's a problem.
God said in Philippians 4:6 ~ Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Be careful for nothing means to "not worry." It doesn't mean don't be cautious, which is often how I live my life. In ministering to myself this morning I need to unpack a few scriptures to get myself back into the adventurous living of Christ. The issue is this, if you leap enough times and the net doesn't appear, the impact is painful.
The impact of broken dreams
I'm a dreamer. Oh my stars am I a dreamer! And if I'm honest being a dreamer is often an escape from reality. But when those dreams lie shattered on the ground because they didn't come to pass as I thought they would, the impact is often for me to physically and emotionally shutdown. I usually do one of two things. (1) I shut down. Turn off the world and retreat inside my head which can be a very scary place. (2) Make someone else's dream happen, in a very small sense of the word. Meaning I take on a thousand projects of a thousand people who are readily available to ask me to do something. (3) Quite often my last resort, I turn to the word of God. It's where faith and flesh collide.
The impact of broken confidence
I'm familiar with failure. It's a part of the life of someone who lives the "leap and the net will appear" mentality. Failure has never stopped me from trying again. But what will most assuredly shatter my confidence is when my leaping appears to the world as recklessness. And sometimes to me as recklessness. I restore that confidence in remembering the countless miracles that God has done in my life, but even they too were often God rescuing me from a not so very well thought out plan. So thus, it's a vicious cycle. God however has confidence builders on call, like my best friend and biggest fan, Gloria. Or my friend Jessica, who spurred my spirit on by recalling how I had made a difference for her as she spoke at a ladies meeting Monday night. And my friend Dewey who calls just to check on me, who consoles my spirit and reminds me quite often that The Jesus Chick needs to stay on the path God designed. Confidence too is where faith and flesh collide.
The impact of broken spirit
Probably the hardest of all is when the flesh wins out over faith and I feel uninspired to go on. It's when I've taken a hit from several directions. It's not that the Word has let me down or that the encouragers in my life have let me down, it's when the world has taken its toll and I don't even have the desire to walk to the edge, never mind jumping off to another adventure. It's where I've been of late.
So how do you fix a broken spirit?
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
You offer it to God. Part of being in the ministry is realizing the paycheck doesn't look like the 9-5 job. There's usually not a paycheck. The pay is presenting the gifts that God has given you to Him and through Him, and allowing Him to tell you your worth.
Paul (the writer of Philippians) and David (the writer of most of the Psalms) had much in common. Both understood that the power behind the child of God is in prayer, supplication and thanksgiving. It is with an attitude of brokenness and contriteness (remorse) that God can use us. It's where faith and flesh part. The flesh wants no part of regret or remorse. The flesh wants no part of being broken. But in that state is where I find my strength to leap again. Because in that state I realize that my dreams, confidence and desires are through Him, and it will be through Him that success will come. And it will.
Philippians 1:6
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Ren writes: Our children, ages 7 and 9, love James Bond movies. We've seen almost every one, but my wife doesn't want them to see "Casino Royale." It's often referred to as the best Bond, but she believes it is too inappropriate for them. Can you help? I'd like to watch the movie with my kids, who are James Bond fans just like me. ————
Of course 7- and 9-year-olds like movies with cars that fly. But they don't love problematic gender portrayals and seventh-grade-level sex jokes. That's why Ian Fleming wrote "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" for children and the James Bond series for man-children. But if "Casino Royale" (which is great!) is truly the last one you have left, why not? Why not complete your experiment and cuddle up with your kids and watch Daniel Craig be tortured in a very private area? No one can stop your mad plan now. Not even you, Mr. Bond!

Publisher: Skyscape
Publishing Date: July 30, 2013
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Publishers' Description: Corn is king in the Heartland, and Cael McAvoy has had enough of it. It's the only crop the Empyrean government allows the people of the Heartland to grow—and the genetically modified strain is so aggressive that it takes everything the Heartlanders have just to control it.
As captain of the Big Sky Scavengers, Cael and his crew sail their rickety ship over the corn day after day, scavenging for valuables. But Cael's tired of surviving life on the ground while the Empyrean elite drift by above in their extravagant sky flotillas. He's sick of the mayor's son besting Cael's crew in the scavenging game. And he's worried about losing Gwennie—his first mate and the love of his life—forever when their government-chosen spouses are revealed. But most of all, Cael is angry—angry that their lot in life will never get better and that his father doesn't seem upset about any of it.
Review: This novel is the first in the Heartland Trilogy series. This was a fantastic read. The characters and story-line were woven into a passionate saga with just the right amount of believability. It is not too far of a leap into current events if you follow the genetic modification of foods developed by agri-businesses.
Some reviewers thought that the beginning was too slow, or that Cael treats women poorly. The author weaves the story-line and characters into a fascinating whole, and not excessively so, in my opinion. It is just the right amount of coverage to do the entire novel justice. As to Cael's treatment of Wanda; he let's her down, sure, but that's life. He did not love her and was being honest about it. Arranged marriages within a lottery system do not love make. The cover art really evokes the images developed during the read. A good perspective on the subject rendered.
I really look forward to the next in the Heartland series where the novel next takes place in the sky. I think I would read anything Mr. Wendig writes as his prose is fantastic.
