In Cold Blood: No Saints in Kansas
A Girl Detective Takes on a Quadruple Homicide
Just a brief post this week since I went a little off the rails with the long-form blogging last time.
I like Truman Capote's writing and true-crime stories so much that it's hard to stop elaborating.
The first In Cold Blood post discussed how the flamboyant Capote created a new literary genre, and last week's explored his alleged efforts to snuff out a competing manuscript.
Never stop. But when the subject is In Cold Blood, there's always more.
The tale of the brutal collision between the wholesome Clutter family and two dissolute criminals in Holcomb, Kansas, has been fascinating readers since the book hit the best-seller list in 1966.
Now, Soho Press has a new telling of the story coming out in November.
The novel No Saints in Kansas offers the tale through the eyes of the fictional Carly Fleming, a 15-year-old who recently moved to Kansas.
Carly was just beginning a friendship with Nancy "the town darling" Clutter when the teenager was murdered along with three members of her family on November 15, 1959.
Taking the initiative. In the early days of the investigation, detectives (in real life, too) suspected that Bobby Rupp, Nancy's boyfriend, was the culprit who tied up, robbed, and shot her and her brother, Kenyon, and their parents, Herb and Bonnie.
Carly, who feels protective of Bobby, launches her own investigation in order to clear his name.
And speaking of going off the rails, Carly sneaks onto the murder scene, barges in on a press conference, and does her own ballistics tests.
She ends up grounded and arrested. Nevertheless, she persisted.
Hometown girl. If all this sounds like a novel for a teen audience, it's because it is. Soho Press is publishing the book as young adult fiction.
I enjoyed the telling just the same, especially because author Amy Brashear brings credibility to the characterizations.
Brashear and her family moved to Finney County, Kansas, in 1991, when she was 9.
That's 33 years after the homicides, but locals hadn't stopped talking about them, and probably never will.
Lose the halo. The author grew up around people old enough to have known the Clutters personally and still feel the psychic trauma caused by Perry Smith and Richard Hickock's crime.
I found the novel engaging also because it seems to confirm something that I've always suspected: that Nancy Clutter wasn't quite the perfect human being that Capote portrayed.
("You've idolized that poor dead woman beyond all human recognition," as Ruth and Augustus Goetz wrote in The Heiress.)
That and other story elements made No Saints in Kansas a nice read.
Nice holiday gift. I caught a couple examples of anachronistic language in No Saints in Kansas. The first known use of "face-plant" was in 1982, according to Webster's, and I suspect people didn't say "sounds like a plan" back in the 1950s.
But it's not the author's fault that this reader makes her living by pointing out errors; I'm an editor by day.
I'd recommend the book for any preteen or young teen reader who likes detective stories and true crime.
It's a good introduction to a U.S. tragedy that Truman Capote made sure will never become arcane.
That's all for this post. Until next week, cheers. — RR
In Cold Blood: Alternative Facts
The Story Capote Didn't Want Us to Buy
The last post mentioned a new development related to Truman Capote's 1966 best seller, In Cold Blood.
A report surfaced a few years ago that at the same time Capote was researching his book, another writer was working on a telling from a different perspective.
Dark horse. Capote's version of a quadruple slaying that took place in Holcomb, Kansas, in 1959, relied heavily on interviews with one of the two killers: Perry Smith, whom Capote portrayed as a sensitive drifter marred by abuse and hardship.
The other writer, an uncelebrated newspaperman named Mack Nations, was helping to edit an account called High Road to Hell penned by Smith's partner in crime: Richard Hickock, a tall Kansan whom Capote portrayed as a personable but remorseless conman, killer, and would-be rapist.
Media coverage about the existence of High Road to Hell dates back to 2009. What's new is that the son of the late Wichita Eagle reporter is spearheading a campaign to draw attention to it.
Michael Nations, who works as a probation officer, has posted a seven-part video series on YouTube to present some facts about his father's work.
Smeared. The video series, titled Footprints Found Inside 'In Cold Blood,' is a simple effort, just the younger Nations talking to a video camera in front of his garage and later in an easy chair inside his house.
"Many negative and demeaning things were written and published about my father years after his death on December 24, 1968," Michael Nations says on camera. "I believe it only fitting that what I have presented on his behalf as both a reporter and writer will be credited to him."
I watched all seven parts. While not absorbing, the series hits a few high notes, particularly in outlining Capote's attempts to undermine the competing manuscript.
A list of the interesting points from the video series will follow, but first a bit about Smith and Hickock's crime and In Cold Blood for readers unfamiliar with the events:
Safe house. On November 15, 1959, Richard Hickock, 28, and Perry Smith, 31, slipped through an unlocked door into Herb and Bonnie Clutter's house and cut the phone lines.
The ex-cons thought that the Clutters, who owned River Valley Farm in Holcomb, Kansas, had a safe containing $10,000 in cash in their house.
Back in 1959, that seemed like the score of a lifetime, or at least enough to finance a jobless existence for a few years.
Hickock acquired his belief about a money-filled metal box when he shared a jail cell with Floyd Wells, a onetime employee of River Valley Farm.
Wells had been inside the Clutters' house and described its layout in detail to Hickock.
Terrified family. Although Wells got the floor plan correct, he was wrong about the safe. It didn't exist and, in fact, friends of Herb Clutter later recalled his using checks to pay for nearly everything, even a purchase of $1.50, according to In Cold Blood.
Unfortunately, Hickock had no doubts about a safe. He recruited Smith, another prison friend, for a robbery plan.
After sneaking into the Clutters' house, the two woke up the family members by shining flashlights in their faces.
They tied up the couple and their two youngest children, Nancy and Kenyon. (The Clutters' adult daughters, Eveanna and Beverly, didn't live at home.)
Sex criminal. Hickock, who had a history of targeting underaged girls, admitted that he knew from Floyd Wells' account that Nancy would be a teenager by then.
He allegedly acknowledged that he intended to rape Nancy, 16, but that Smith had stopped him.
After Hickock and Smith found no safe in the location Wells had specified, they searched throughout the five-bedroom three-bathroom house. Herb Clutter assured them there was no safe.
No church that day. They gave up and stole what little cash family members had in the house, less than $50, plus 15-year-old Kenyon's transistor radio. They executed each of the Clutters with a gunshot to the head at close range.
Smith and Hickock then fled Holcomb, eventually hiding out in Mexico.
Meanwhile, two of Nancy's friends entered the house and discovered the bodies; they were planning to go to church with the Clutters and were concerned when no one answered the door.
News of the murders shocked and terrified Holcomb. All the Clutters, but especially Herb and Nancy, were popular in the community.
On the day before she died, Nancy taught a little girl how to make a cherry pie and helped another local girl with a violin solo.
Herb oversaw construction of the First Methodist Church in Garden City, served on the Federal Farm Credit Board, and was the first president of the National Wheat Growers Association.
Chance encounter. Although their murders weren't huge news on a national level, the Clutters were affluent enough to merit a mention in the New York Times.
If not for Truman Capote's coming across the item by chance, few people outside of Western Kansas would know about the Clutters or Smith or Hickock today.
Capote, a glamorous, already successful 5-foot-3-inch-tall novelist, called up William Shawn, editor of The New Yorker, and announced he was heading to Kansas to start working on a story about the crime.
Complex character. For Capote, it turned into a six-year odyssey that included forging a close relationship with lead Kansas Bureau of Investigation detective Alvin Dewey and his well-read wife, Marie, followed by an intimate friendship formed with Perry Smith and some acquaintanceship with Hickock.
The 2004 movie Capote with Philip Seymor Hoffman portrays the writer as a compassionate advocate for Perry Smith on one hand, and on the other, an inveigler impatient for Smith and Hickock's executions to happen so he could finally slap an ending on In Cold Blood and get it published.
Capote began serializing the story in The New Yorker in 1965, and the book came out in January 1966 to great acclaim. It was translated into 30 languages.
Cut to the video. But back to Michael Nations and his 2017 video series: He asserts that High Road to Hell was suppressed and his father wrongly treated.
Who wanted to thwart Hickock and Nation's effort? First, there was Capote, of course. He'd invested too much of his time in researching the story to let some enterprising local get in his way.
Also, according to Nations, the Kansas prison and law-enforcement officers who worked with Capote wanted Capote's story to be the definitive account of their work. Capote portrayed Alvin Dewey as the hard-charging yet humble hero of the investigation and prosecution of the two killers.
A 2017 Wall Street Journal story by Kevin Helliker reports that Dewey let Capote know about the existence of the Hickock script, and it was only then that Capote began visiting death row to interview Smith and Hickock.
Subtle bribery? Michael Nations reads from a letter to Dewey in which Capote calls Nations' work "preposterous."
In the same letter, Capote mentions that the Deweys will be welcome to use a Colorado vacation home he plans to buy.
Capote also allegedly refers to Nations as a "bastard reporter" and an income tax cheater and suggests that his own work will offer the Deweys immortality.
Also during the video series, Nations holds up an ancient dog-eared paperback copy of In Cold Blood and says that each crease represents a fact contradicted by letters Hickock wrote to Mack Nations in 1961.
Callous criminal. Nations is probably right about at least some mistakes within In Cold Blood. Other researchers throughout the years have written about errors and possible fabrications in Capote's work.
While Nations contends In Cold Blood contained falsehoods regarding Hickock's story, he doesn't dispute Capote's portrayal of Hickock as amoral and heartless.
Hickock said in his letters to Nations that he considered people dying to be no big deal ("there are plenty of people to take their place"), he felt cheated that he didn't get to shoot the Clutters (Smith did that himself, with Hickock's complicity), and he liked the media coverage and felt proud of his unique criminal achievement.
Among Michael Nations' other statements, assertions, and opinions presented in the video series:
- Mack Nations sold an article about his work on the case to a magazine called Male in 1961.
- There still exist 200 letters Hickock wrote to Mack Nations. The Kansas Historical Society in Topeka has them now.
- Capote never liked Richard Hickock because the ex-con gave interviews to Mack Nations before speaking with Capote.
- At some point, authorities banned all reporters except for Capote from interviewing the killers.
- Michael wrote his own, unpublished exposé, In My Father's Shoes, in which he transcribed Hickock's letters to Mack Nations. He asserts that Capote stole some of the content from the letters.
- Floyd Wells told Hickock he saw a safe in the Clutters' home and witnessed Herb Clutter retrieving cash from it to pay workers. But at the trial, Wells testified only that he "thought" there was a safe.
False revelation. While those contentions sound believable, Michael Nations' biggest bombshell is hard to swallow: that Hickock and Smith committed the Clutter robbery on a contract basis for a man named Roberts and they either received or expected to receive $1,000 or more from Roberts in return for their efforts.
Hickock may have told this particular tale to Mack Nations, but that doesn't make it believable.
As the Wall Street Journal article by Kevin Helliker argues:
"The reasons to discount Hickock's claim go beyond his lack of credibility as a pathological liar. If he and Smith were paid to kill the Clutters, why didn't they use that information to try negotiating their way off death row? Why were they dirt poor before and after the crime?"
(If you have a WSJ digital subscription, you can view Helliker's full wsj.com piece, which includes more photos than the version on msn.com.)
Widening market. After viewing Michael Nations' video series, I'm still confused as to whether or not he possesses a copy of his father and Hickock's High Road to Hell manuscript. He mentions that his dad sent a copy to Kansas investigators at their request but never got it back.
Capote may have very well pressed authorities to suppress Nations' account.
He probably didn't need to, though.
The public fascination was and is strong enough that a competing book would likely have only stoked greater interest in the Clutter case — and ultimately led critics to conclude that Capote's book was the greater literary achievement.
That's all for this post. Until next week, cheers. — RR
In Cold Blood: Murders That Live On
New Variations on Truman Capote's Storytelling
This week's post starts a little sabbatical from Forensic Files to concentrate on some new developments related to the classic true-crime book In Cold Blood.
Truman Capote's story of the slaughter of four members of a well-liked Kansas farming family in 1959 established a new literary genre: the nonfiction novel.
Cradle to gallows. Capote interviewed people connected with the Clutters, who were terrorized and shot during a home invasion — way before someone invented that term — waged by Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, a couple of young ex-cons.
By interspersing that intelligence with information from interviews with investigators and Perry Smith, Capote created a 343-page narrative that included in-depth backstories of the characters, a moment-by-moment narrative of the murders, and coverage of the police work, convictions, and eventual executions of the killers.
Of the two truants, Smith by far had the more sympathetic story, or at least Capote portrayed it that way. The son of a Native American mother and white father who once had a happy marriage and worked together as rodeo performers, Smith suffered from a series of long-running tragedies.
Unexpected bromance. His mother sank into severe acoholism, her four kids lived in an orphanage for a time, and two of them committed suicide. An accident left Smith with mangled legs and constant pain.
Smith and Capote developed a bond during the time he was researching his book.
Capote, too, came from an unstable household damaged by alcoholism, but he found a way out and turned himself into a member of the glittering literati of his day.
He had early success with his novels Other Voices, Other Rooms, published in 1948 when he was 23, and The Grass Harp three years later. His novella Breakfast at Tiffany's, later the basis for the Audrey Hepburn movie of the same name, came out in 1958.
But In Cold Blood was his blockbuster.
I wasn't able to find reliable data on the number of copies In Cold Blood has sold since it came out in 1966. One source estimates 3 million sold by 1971; another says 8 million by 1968.
Whatever the case, by now, it's lots and lots.
There are at least three movies based the story.
Wholesome, meet dissolute. My favorite, the 2005 release Capote with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Catherine Keener, portrays the author's efforts to make a literary conquest out of the quadruple homicide that rocked the Kansas town.
I've seen the film about the same number of times I've read the book In Cold Blood, at least four. The story of the unlikely face-off between the high-functioning 4-H-meeting-attending Clutter family and the two margin-dwelling assailants makes for an unusual American tableau.
The means of storytelling was a precursor to books such as Sebastian Junger's 1997 best seller, The Perfect Storm, which featured a reconstructed story of a commercial fishing boat that disappeared.
Fortunately, Capote's book probably will never vanish from the public consciousness, and two new developments related to the story have recently emerged.
First, information about a manuscript that told the story of the Clutter homicides through the eyes of Dick Hickock has leaked out. A seven-part sparsely viewed story about the manuscripts exists on YouTube. I will give it a watch and report back.
Fresh retelling. And coming up in November, Soho Press is publishing No Saints in Kansas, a novel told from the perspective of a fictional friend to the real-life Nancy Clutter, the dynamic 16-year-old at the center of In Cold Blood.
The author, Amy Brashear, grew up near Holcomb.
No Saints in Kansas is written for a teenage audience, but I'm going to give it a read myself and report back on it just the same. It might make a nice holiday gift for a nascent true-crime fan in the family.
That's all for this post. Until next week, cheers. — R.R.
Update: Read part 2.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Los Angeles Angels have requested waivers on 19-year veteran outfielder and designated hitter Raul Ibanez for the purpose of giving him his unconditional release.
The highlight of his brief stay with them was on April 12 when he hit a tying three-run homer with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning against the New York Mets' Jose Valverde for his 2,000th career hit.
The Angels also optioned right-hander Cam Bedrosian to Class AA Arkansas, after he gave up nine runs, eight hits and seven walks in 52/3 innings over his first six big league appearances. Infielder Efren Navarro was recalled from Class AAA Salt Lake.
Ibanez, the second-oldest player in the majors behind Jason Giambi, batted .157 with three homers and 21 RBI in 190 plate appearances for the Angels after signing a one-year deal for $2.75 million during the offseason.
"Raul's going to be tough to replace in the clubhouse. He brings so many intangibles," manager Mike Scioscia said. "We've got some young kids, but it's a tough day for us. Raul's a great competitor and a terrific person, and we'll definitely miss him. Like anybody, there was disappointment. He's very accountable. He knows he didn't do what he wanted for us. He took it with what you'd expect for a guy with his class."
Ibanez' career has included three stints with the Seattle Mariners, including last season when he hit .242 with 29 home runs and 65 RBI.
He also played for Kansas City, Philadelphia and the New York Yankees. His career average is .273 with 303 homers and 1,202 RBI.

Healed From Migraine Headaches - Sister Peggy Gibby
From the time I was in my early teens, I suffered with migraine headaches. These headaches plagued me for approximately 23 years before the Lord freed me from them. I vividly remember the last one and my deliverance. I was at work in Atlanta, Georgia. The headache had become so severe I could not think clearly. During the course of the day, I had taken a large amount of medicine trying to relieve the pain and get through the work day. At about 2:00 p.m. I received a business call and I remember hearing the man's voice but what he was saying just wasn't making any sense to me. I could even tell my voice was slurred as I told him I was ill and would have to talk with him later. Right after that I told my supervisor I was going home because of the migraine headache. I had driven myself to work and had to drive home. I lived in Duluth, Georgia, which was about 25 miles away. I hardly remember getting to my car and do not remember any of the drive to my home. When I arrived, I headed for the bed. It seemed these headaches amplified with any movements and noises a 100 fold and the head pain was awful.
My husband, Dean, worked the 3 to 11 shift. He called me as he usually did in the afternoon after my work day. Of course, he could tell right away that I was ill and I told him of the awful headache. He prayed for me and told me to call our Pastor, Brother Samuel Dale, and have him pray for me also. I managed to call Bro. Dale and told him of the headache. He had his wife, Sister Peggy, to get on the phone with us and they prayed for me. While I cannot recall the exact prayer, I do recall Bro. Dale telling me at the end of the prayer, "Sis., the headache is going to get a lot worse before it gets better." I remember thinking I don't see how it can get worse. But after I hung the phone up, the headache pain did get worse. Sometime later, I fell into a deep sleep. I think I just finally passed out from the pain, exhaustion and much medicine I had taken. When I awoke, the headache was gone. In the past when I had a headache, I would take some medicine and just go to bed, go to sleep and the next day it would be gone or a lot better. However, this time it was different. I woke up the next day headache free, felt good and went to work. The Lord healed me of migraine headaches and I have not had a migraine headache for over 21 years. PRAISE THE LORD.
God Bless you
Sister Peggy Gibby

I've been out of the groove for a bit long, but I've noticed that Canon has stuck to their word and introduced rebates on the 15th, the same day as always. How can I resist getting a 20D for $940 with no tax, no shipping? Now's I have no excuse for not getting one. Plus I can pick up my 50mm f/1.4 and something else and get triple rebates off of those two.
I can't think of a better time to get a 20D than now. A Rebel XT isn't too shabby either as you can pick one up for $500 something after these rebates.
$1249 (20D street price) - $300 (triple rebate) = $949
$749 (350D street price) - $225 (triple rebate) = $524
To qualify for the triple rebate, you do need to buy 2 accessories/lenses with your camera, but that shouldn't be too big a problem. Pick up a prime and a zoom (you get triple rebates off those too!), and you're set!

Nature Made chewable vitamin c . its chewable . i easy to take .
I take 2 of these everyday. I love that they are chewable because I have a hard time getting pills down. Since my husband tends to get sick alot, I suggested that he start taking them. He has and we have noticed a difference.
I took this (almost) every day last year and didn't get sick at all! I haven't been keeping up this year and I have already gotten the cold. I usually hate chewable tablets of any kind but these taste really good, very orange-y. Definitely helps boost my immune system. Of course you also need to eat right and and all that to prevent illness as well.

NOTE: I'm not talking about monogamous relationships here; I'm talking about the beginning phases of the dating process here
For both genders, this "serial dating" thing seems to be more common than it used to be.
Why do you (or other people that you know) date multiple people at a time, instead of dating one person at a time and focusing on that one person?
Be as detailed as you wish in your answer; thanks for fueling my curiosity. 8-)
- I date multiple people at onceVote A
- I only date one person at a timeVote B
Most Helpful Girl
This rarely happens to me, but it's to get to know each person out on a coffee/dinner date and not rush into anything. Then you choose who you like best by process of elimination. This has happened to me once with online dating; I went on a coffee date with one guy (didn't click for either of us but he was nice) then went to a school club event with another guy I was getting to know. I told the first guy when I chose the other guy, which happened before we could do another date. Mind you, nobody promised exclusivity to the other.
Personally, I prefer dating one person at a time, because two or more can be confusing. I might end up settling for one guy because he seems a little better than the other one, but not because he's right for me. Sadly, the market for potential mates in my area is scarce, and it's hard to find someone of good quality, so I would serial date again if I had to.11|00|0
I should clarify that pretty much every other time, I only have one prospect available, and then can focus better on that one person. If there's any semblance of a relationship/exclusivity, nobody else is in the picture.

One of Doncaster's oldest pubs – where the St leger was named – will close on Sunday as it's transformed into a hotel.
Wetherspoons' pub, The Red Lion, in Market Place, was the hostelry where the world's oldest classic was named by a group of aristocrats, after it was first run in 1776 on Cantley Common. It will close for a complete overhaul.
The expansion of the pub into a hotel is likely to create around 10 jobs with staff at the current hostelry given positions elsewhere in the company.
Pub manager, Matthew Fearn (pictured), said: "This is an exciting redevelopment. Once refurbished The Red Lion will be more than twice its present size. The front will essentially stay the same, but it will consist of a much bigger downstairs area with a bigger bar that will be relocated to the opposite side of the building, a larger kitchen and smoking and non-smoking areas in a new beer garden."
He added: "There will be about 15 bedrooms, with some on the first floor along with toilets and further bedrooms on the second floor. It should be fantastic and, with refurbishment of Market Place, make it one of the premier venues in Doncaster."
Team leader, Genna Laverick (pictured), said: "The refurbishment will see the building taken back to the shell and completely revamped inside. All present staff will be relocated to other Wetherspoon pubs in the area."
She added: "I'm looking forward to seeing the new look building once it is up and running."
On the last day before closure a charity race night for children's cancer charity CLIC Sargent will be run in commemoration of the famous classic horse race.
Wetherspoons already has around 20 hotels and more than 800 pubs nationwide. The Red Lion – in Market Place for more than 250 years – and The Salutation are believed to be he town centre's oldest pubs.

Step Up's financial success is undeniable. Since the first movie in this romantic dance series came out in 2006, the project has grossed almost $651 million on a $143 million budget. Created by Duane Adler, the series consists of five installments, with a Chinese spinoff and a web television series currently in the pipeline.
The movie also kickstarted the romance of co-stars Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan who got married in 2008, three years after meeting on the set of the first movie. Here are 14 interesting behind-the-scenes facts about Step Up.

3. As in many similar movies, the actors were actually dancing to silence, with the music being added later

Thank you for visiting Little House in the Suburbs. If you like what you see, please SUBSCRIBE.
If there's one good thing about weeding, it makes the world slow down.
You can't work on the computer, or your phone.
Unless you're a bluetooth person.
Nothing against bluetooth people . . .
You can listen to music, but I don't.
Sometimes I wish I were listening to music, mainly to uproot some other snippet of a pop song out of my head.
Don't speak.
I know just what you're sayin'.
But while weeding, I can usually think, at least a little bit.
I think about weeds.
I might even philosophize.
About weeds.
I could learn a lot from weeds; masters of survival, of resilience.
From chickweed, I could learn to be so useful I make myself indispensable.
From dollar weed and creeping charlie, I could learn to plant so many roots that no matter where I'm uprooted, I'd always stay grounded somewhere, and from there I could grow again.
From bermuda grass and smartweed, to let go and sacrifice a part of myself rather than hold on and risk losing it all.
From plantain, to dig in deep and hold on tight.
From prostrate spurge, to keep a low profile and adapt to grow in inhospitable places.
From creeping woodsorrel, to blend into the background when need be.
From horse nettle, to develop defenses that make it painful to threaten me.
From hairy bittercress, to far-fling my ideas in hopes they'll take root somewhere.
And from cleavers, to attach myself to things that are going places.
From all the weeds, to thrive in poor soil and drought, where the more delicate and needy plants fail.
Too much time alone in the weeds?
No doubt.

Thursday, July 29, 7pm – Poetry
German Poets U.S. Tour
Wolf Hogekamp, Lars Ruppel, and Sebastian 23
The poets will present original work in German and English translation and speak about their work in the German pilot project of the Alzheimer's Poetry Project. Representing Germany at the 21st Annual National Poetry Slam to be held in Saint Paul, Minnesota, August 3rd through 7th. Along with their work in popularizing poetry through the Poetry Slam, Hogekamp and Ruppel are working on a pilot project to expand the Alzheimer's Poetry Project (APP) to Germany funded by the U.S, Embassy in Berlin. The poets have worked with APP founder Gary Glazner to train over 250 German poets, students, and healthcare workers in using poetry to connect to people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia.
Wolf Hogekamp organized the first regular German Poetry Slam in 1997. As a professional video editor he has been instrumental in the creation of poetry clips and using video technology to promote poetry to a wide audience. At 25, Lars Rupple is the youngest professional Slam poet in Germany. He began touring at the age of 16. Sebastian 23 along with Rupple are in the parody boy group, "Smaat Band."
The National Poetry Slam (NPS) is a five day spoken word performance poetry festival. The world's largest annual Poetry Slam event is held in a different city each year, and is host to dozens of Slam teams from around the US, Canada and Europe. The main focus of the festival is the tournament, but it also involves numerous workshops, showcases, classes, open mics, and fun side competitions that are open to watch and/or perform. Events begin at 10am and continue until 2am.

Tableaux vivant is French for 'living picture'. The tradition started in the middle ages, when brief tableaux would be used within religious and state ceremonies and occasions.
Later, in the 19th Century, Parlour Tableaux became very popular in Europe as a form of social entertainment. A group of people posed to replicate and express a scene from a famous painting or play. Accounts of this activity can be found in many novels of the period, as described in a very interesting article on a blog called At The Lighthouse. There is a very detailed description of how tableaux vivants were set up in an on-line book called Home Pastimes; or Tableaux Vivants, by James H. Head.
In the Victorian era, the tradition developed into something called poses plastique, which involved actresses, sometimes with very few clothes, on posing as famous statues.
An American example of the use of the technique can be seen in the photographs of Kate Seston Matthews (1870-1956), in Louisville, Kentucky. Her photographs create tableaux vivants based on nursery rhymes, fairy tales, poetry, and other works of art. Her collection is preserved at the University of Louisville Photographic Archives, and is available to view on-line, but here are some examples which they have kindly given permission to be displayed here.
For two modern interpretations of tableaux vivant, have a look at the work of Tori Amos and Cindy Sherman.

My interests recently have started leading in a new direction, if not a new evolution, from what they have been in the past. But first, let's recap.
Two Years Ago…
It was right around this time in 2007 when I was hitting my stride on the creative aspect of my web development. Up to then, most of my web work was related to coding and application development, while the launch of Ka'anapali Dreamin' was my biggest effort put forth in creating a content-rich site.
I was just back from our second visit to Maui, swamped with tons of photos I had taken, filled with the Aloha Spirit, and inspired to spend every waking hour I could on building a great online resource sharing our experiences with the Valley Isle. I like to think it was a success, and regardless of how many visitors there were and where I was in the search rankings, it was a labour of Aloha and a ton of fun to put together and maintain.
Yes, the site is still live and needs a fresh coat of paint here and there, but free time hasn't really been in my favor for doing some of the site maintenance and enhancements that I had originally planned for by now. Which leads me to the next stop in our time capsule journey.
Last Year
By this time last year, I was in full swing on Twitter (@webnelly) and earning a tiny spot in the totally cool Hawaii social media ohana. Blogging is where my free time was now being spent, and I was setting goals for myself to try and write on one of my blogs at least once a day. Again, like working on and expanding Ka'anapali Dreamin', blogging was a ton of fun, taught me a lot about myself, and fostered connections with people across the world.
For me, blogging always was a two way street, with about 80% of my time reading and commenting on other blogs and 20% writing for myself. With so many neat blogs and designs, topics covering all ends of my interests, and interacting with some great people made it very engaging and yes, addicting. My peak blogging rate was about 2-3 posts per day up to our annual trip to Maui in February (2009). There were a few mind/life changing realizations and moments during those 2 weeks in paradise that I won't go into here, but my writing started to dry up to make way for a newer obsession.
Leading up to…
The Now
All signs seem to indicate that my newest passion started when we first stepped foot on Maui, but it took 3 more trips the islands, a handful of weekend drives up to nearby Door County, WI, some professional hockey games, our cute little rabbits, and a helicopter without doors to realize what was next in my life.
That seems like an odd segue, doesn't it? For the most part, that really sums it up, though. My first serious camera was a Canon EOS 20D DSLR that I purchased prior to our first trip to Maui in 2006. It was right there in paradise where I first fumbled with the controls and still managed to capture some great memories of our trip.
And that really was the initial intent of buying that camera, just to capture memories. Yet, after a few more trips to Maui, and finding more places closer to home to shoot, it became less about capturing memories and more about capturing images. Like other hobbies that have I have found challenging, I began to dive in deeper, read more, practice whenever I could, and push myself to get better. Which is really where I am today.
While I put up a small photography portfolio, Kris Nelson Photography, last year, it's only been since last February where my seriousness and focus in this craft has taken off. I now had enough (in my opinion) beautiful images of Maui to start a "photo memory" site, Maui by Photo in July, and worked my [you know what] off to find and manage a second job over the summer to afford another trip to Maui for the Maui Photo Festival and Workshops just last month. That was it, I was officially bitten by the shutterbug.
What's Next
My goal now is to just keep shooting, and practice, practice, practice. Stopping to think about it, photography fits nicely into many of the aspects that my other hobbies have also occupied.
- I seem to have a knack for it, and really enjoy it
- It's challenging, and something I can continuously push myself to improve on
- The technology and techniques are constantly changing and there's always something new to learn
- There are great communities around it, both online and in person
- There are a ton of cool gadgets (okay, not a key aspect of all my hobbies, but fun none-the-less)
So now, instead of planning for site upgrades and blog posts, I am planning my own photo shoots and equipment budgets. Much like my the other hobbies listed here, I'm already immersed in photography to the point of saturation, and the feeling of being overwhelmed is pretty much an everyday reality now. On any given day, I have a ton more photos to go through, edit, and post than I ever have time for, and trading sleep and other activities for time in front of the computer is a regular negotiation in progress.
How Long Will This Last?
Seeing that I've been doing some sort of programming, either software or on the web, for more than half my life now, I've been known to stick with these types of things for the long haul. I can see photography making a strong stance in my daily activity for quite some time. At least for all the time, money, and effort I'm investing in this relatively new hobby of mine, it better stick around awhile.
If you'd like to tag along, or just read a little bit more of what I'm doing with a camera, head over to Kris Nelson Photography and check out my photostream on Flickr. Those two places promise to have a lot of activity in the coming months and years as I embark on this new journey of my free time.
Here's to making a good run at it.
– Kris

One great thing about a city as relaxed as Chengdu is inexpensive massage. Although not as pervasive as the teahousesmassage places are easy to find and certainly widely available, California.
Of course they offer full fledged pedicuresbut the normal service is a foot soak followed by an hour rub. If you are a little adventurous try foot cupping.
However the best of these small massage parlors are the blind massage places. Although the people may not actually be blind it is believed that this technique is excellent. However if you can find a blind masseur then go for it! Being blind actually does allow them to be more sensitive and give a chengdu happy ending massage Rialto massage.
Chengdu happy ending massage Rialto they have private rooms for two people and give complimentary tea and fruit.

You all get what song this is. I don't need to explain the joke.
This is the first time I've flat out used characters from another property in this comic. Before it's all been Expys and Ersatzszszszs. But here these two shit-faced demigods are.
I like how the line work on Doomsday up there turned out. I don't usually draw figures big enough that I can really go all out with the brush pen.
Hope everybody enjoys X-Men: Apocalypse, AKA X-Men Babies III, AKA X-Men vs. A Blue Guy Dressed Like a Jaffa from Stargate SG1.
VOTE! AGAIN! CLICK IT! Kong Tower #10 is still up in color as an incentive. SO VOTE!

Fischer–Hepp rearrangement
(Redirected from Fischer-Hepp rearrangement)

|Named after
|Otto Fischer
Eduard Hepp
|Reaction type
|Rearrangement reaction
|RSC ontology ID
The Fischer–Hepp rearrangement is a rearrangement reaction in which an aromatic N-nitroso or nitrosamine converts to a carbon nitroso compound:[1][2]
This organic reaction was first described by the German chemist Otto Philipp Fischer (1852–1932 ) and Eduard Hepp (June 11, 1851 – June 18, 1917) [3] in 1886, and is of importance because para-NO secondary anilines cannot be prepared in a direct reaction.
The rearrangement reaction takes place by reacting the nitrosamine precursor with hydrochloric acid. The chemical yield is generally good under these conditions, but often much poorer if a different acid is used. The exact reaction mechanism is unknown but there is evidence suggesting an intramolecular reaction.
