The Eye Of Moloch: Glenn Beck Managed To Write A Novel Worse Than The Overton Window
We Read This Book Because You Weren't Going To
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY & BEN DIMIERO
"[T]ell me why the last torchbearer of the sad ideals of the American spirit, this Molly Ross, is now being contacted by a former co-conspirator who nearly spoiled all of my plans only last year, and who also happens to be the son of my right-hand man?" - The Eye Of Moloch's 132-year-old antagonist
Building on the runaway critical success of his 2010 debut novel The Overton Window ("a lurching, low-speed derailment," "an instructively bad book," "a plodding read"), Glenn Beck is back with a second installment: The Eye Of Moloch.
The one-dimensional characters, creepy libertarian sermonizing, and extended periods of dull inaction that marked The Overton Window have returned in The Eye Of Moloch, making for a read that is as baffling as it is boring. Media Matters has picked over the book and highlighted some of The Eye Of Moloch's absurd conspiracism and impossibly wide plot holes.
The plot to The Eye Of Moloch is, in many ways, the same as The Overton Window: an evil PR firm is trying to destroy America, and a scrappy Founding Fathers-obsessed resistance group called Founders' Keepers is working to foil the scheme. This time around, the villainous corporation, led by 132-year-old supervillain Aaron Doyle, is trying to pin a series of cross-country shootings on the Founders' Keepers. Those resistance fighters, led by The Overton Window's returning protagonists Noah Gardner and Molly Ross, are on the run and trying to infiltrate a super-secret archive that details every evil conspiracy perpetrated on the American people.
And there's still terrible writing. A lot of terrible writing.
The Ghost Of Ronald Redgan [sic]
For much of the story, Noah Gardner is held captive in a bizarre living facility/prison. For reasons that are never entirely clear, part of his punishment is to copyedit syndicated columns and bogus wire stories crafted by the evil PR firm to help shape public opinion and manipulate the masses.
Imprisoned with Noah is a formerly famous news anchor named Ira Gershon, who, we're told in a bit of foreshadowing, uses an old-school typewriter that's "broken" in such a way that its lowercase "d" kind of looks like an "a."
Ira struggles to get Noah to realize his great historical importance, but eventually breaks through via "a sign [that] was sent down to me." In a note to Noah, Ira explains that he had been fussing with his typewriter and rearranging the letters of Noah's last name "for whatever reason."
In a moment that's apparently supposed to be a stunning revelation, Ira reveals to Noah that, thanks to the broken "d" key, if you shuffle the letters of "Gardner," it sort of, kind of looks like "r reagan":
Deus Ex Free Airplanes
There's a point in The Eye Of Moloch in which Noah and Molly have to make it all the way from San Francisco to Pennsylvania, and they have to make it there but quick. The obstacle they face is that thanks to the evil PR firm they're both considered terrorists and obviously won't make it past airport security. A thorny problem, to be sure (though it's unclear why the pair didn't just fall back on their brilliant plan from the last book of eluding TSA scrutiny by having Molly pose as Natalie Portman). But Beck has the solution: a free private airplane from a wealthy "secret friend" that conveniently extracts the characters from the corner they'd been written into:
The jet had been fueled and waiting for them at Hayward Executive Airport, near the bay. These arrangements were made by a well-to-do secret friend of Molly's group, the CEO of a chain of hardware stores in the East, and his gift had allowed them to sidestep the heightened security that surely would have snared them instantly if they'd tried to go anywhere near San Francisco International.
Shortly after takeoff, however, a terror alert is issued and all planes -- including private jets -- are forced to the ground. And then Noah and Molly come under attack from... somebody. It's not really clear who. Whatever will our heroes do? As it turns out, they get another free airplane from Bill McCord, a kindly old airport mechanic introduced six pages earlier who just happens to be sympathetic to their cause.
"Molly," said Noah as he knelt down next to her, "we're surrounded in here. If we don't come out now they're just going to come in after us. I don't think we've got a choice."
"And I don't think they're here to take us alive, Noah."
They all let that prospect sink in as more precious seconds ticked by.
"Well, if they're not going to let you walk out," Bill McCord said, "what do you say we fly?"
Half a minute later the two women were securely buckled in and Noah was sitting in the right-hand seat up front.
That's two free airplanes from two newly introduced characters in the space of 23 pages.
I May Be Dying, But First I'm Going To Land This 70-Year-Old Airplane In The Middle Of A Giant Storm
Much like its predecessor, The Eye of Moloch features interminable stretches where nothing of note happens. But after suffering through the type of absurdity that passes for an "action" scene in this book, it's easy to find yourself yearning for another long-winded sermon about small government from a kindly farmhand.
As an example, take the aforementioned scene in which elderly airport mechanic/World War II veteran Bill McCord decides to help Noah and Molly escape in his restored WWII airplane.
Through a hail of automatic gunfire, McCord manages to get the plane aloft without the help of an actual runway. Things are complicated by the fact that our heroes are flying directly into what a meteorologist in the book dubbed "the perfect storm."
Thanks to some clever maneuvering and an assist from said "miracle" storm, McCord is able to evade several fighter jets, fly the bullet-riddled plane across the country to Pennsylvania, and eventually safely crash-land the plane on broken landing gear.
Oh, and he does all of that while sustaining a fatal heart attack.
There's An Enemy Sniper On The Loose? Let's Gather In Front Of This Giant Window
The villains of The Overton Window are equal parts evil and incompetent, having their grand plans foiled thanks to a series of bumbling oversights, such as leaving the details of their scheme in an easily-cracked PowerPoint presentation. The villains in The Eye of Moloch are similarly done in by their determined idiocy.
Early in the book, Molly is held hostage by a virulently racist white supremacist group that is trying to coerce the Founders' Keepers into an alliance. The only hitch is that the skinheads don't know the whereabouts of Molly's right-hand man, Thom Hollis, a veteran sniper who had eluded capture -- a fact that concerns them greatly.
So, knowing that Molly has a deadly accurate ex-military sharpshooter ally and knowing that he's somewhere in the area, where does the leader of the white supremacists choose to interrogate Molly? Right in front of a huge window looking out onto a vast clearing in the forest, of course.
You'll never guess what happens:
"I have an answer for you." She pulled the cap from the marker and then, by feel, drew a thick diagonal line across the paper from the bottom right to the upper left corner and then down again, upper right to lower left from the other side. Still seated, with the large X complete she unclipped the sheet and held it up high and away, facing flat to the window, and said, "Nobody move."
For several endless seconds they all seemed dumbfounded; neither George Pierce nor any of his men behind her breathed a word.
And then there were three sounds at once, each distinct but simultaneous. A clink from the window, a solid rap on the wood of the bookshelf on the opposite wall, and a sharp flutter of the paper that she held high in her hand, as though someone had flicked it with a finger.
As she turned the sheet toward the man across the desk, just before the distant echoing sound of a rifle shot had arrived, she didn't need to see it to know what was there. A clean bullet hole, precisely through the cross of the X.
As she'd ordered them, nobody moved, and no one knew better than George Lincoln Rockwell Pierce who the next round would find if anyone acted against her.
"You'd asked about Hollis earlier," Molly said.
I Want Cameras In Every Room, Except The One Where Our Most Dangerous Enemies Work
Later in the book, during their time working as copyeditors in prison, Noah and Ira bond over their shared love of limited government and dislike of the oppressive regime. One would think such openly seditious talk would be a death sentence in this Big Brother-esque prison environment. But fortunately for them, the room where they work is, for unexplained reasons, free from the type of invasive monitoring that permeates the rest of the facility:
"No, I don't believe it."
"Oh, really?" Ira came back to his place and took a seat. "And why not?"
Noah didn't answer. Instead he looked around briefly for any obvious cameras or listening devices.
"They aren't watching us in here," Ira said. "There are other indignities we have to endure" -- he patted his ankle, where his own house-arrest bracelet would be -- "but they've never bothered to spy on us in this room, not that way. Go on, you can speak freely."
In Case Of Emergency, Leave Supervillain Lair Unguarded
The climax of the novel takes place at the "Garrison Archives" an "ultrasecure facility" where "all the scheming villains in every hidden seat of power" conveniently store every scrap of information regarding their "dark designs." Though it's described as "ultrasecure," the Founders' Keepers of course have a remarkably easy time infiltrating it. The key to the plot is a "planted intern" (introduced just 35 pages from the book's end) working in the facility's mailroom (yes, even hidden lairs of evil secrets need mailroom interns).
The intern manages to place a device near a mailroom vent that burns "two ounces of Italian amaretto," releasing an almond smell similar to that of cyanide gas. After the intern pretends to have been the victim of chemical weapons, the alarm is sounded.
Everyone in this "ultrasecure facility" runs for the exits and leaves their computers unlocked, allowing the Founders' Keepers to sneak in posing as a hazardous materials emergency response team, at which point they access all the secret computer files of all the world's worst people, which, again, have all been collected at this one location.
If this sounds at all familiar, that might be because it's remarkably similar to the 1996 movie Mission: Impossible, in which Tom Cruise and his crew of rogue agents set off fire alarms at the CIA, sneak into the facility posing as firefighters, and access the secret computer files therein.
"Revenge Is Mine" And Other Evil Dialogue, Featuring A 132-Year-Old Supervillain
If The Overton Window is remembered for anything, it's the classic phrase "don't tease the panther," lovingly growled by Noah to Molly as they do their best not to have a sexual relationship. Strained and awful dialogue of this variety can be found throughout The Eye Of Moloch, with the choicest lines uttered by Aaron Doyle, the 132-year-old primary antagonist who seems to revel in ham-handed exposition and general moustache-twirling.
A sampling:
Doyle on how evil he is:
"Now then, before we enjoy our brunch," Aaron Doyle said, "let us discuss how we shall finally bring the brief and teetering empire of the United States of America to an unceremonious close."
Doyle on his enemies (and on the utter absurdity of the plot):
"[T]ell me why the last torchbearer of the sad ideals of the American spirit, this Molly Ross, is now being contacted by a former co-conspirator who nearly spoiled all of my plans only last year, and who also happens to be the son of my right-hand man?"
Doyle on how evil he is (again):
He walked to his study and sat down in his tall leather chair near the waiting chessboard, and then he addressed the identical but empty seat -- William Merchant's seat -- on the other side.
"I see what you've tried to do, William," Doyle said. "You're trying to use my own pieces against me. But patience was never your strength, and I'm afraid you've acted rashly now and shown your hand a bit too soon. [ed: they're apparently playing both chess and cards] Truth, and love, and virtue were always your favorite weapons in this old war of ours."
He leaned forward, and could almost see his old opponent seated in the opposite chair.
"But as you'll remember, William, revenge is mine."
Doyle on young people:
"Despite the many hurdles put in my way by William Merchant our agenda is succeeding beyond my wildest hopes. We're molding the deluded young into an army of dependent ciphers. With your help we've conditioned them from birth to happily sign away their rights and vote as they're told, staring slack-jawed into one electronic screen after another and obediently parroting our every crafted word."
Doyle on how evil he is (yet again):
"And these trailer-trash rebels you became involved with last year? We'd hoped to push them into another futile act of desperation so we could permanently put their sad little patriotic cause into the dustbin of history. But I'm told their young leader, this special friend of yours, Molly Ross, she's now dead as well. No matter; terror isn't so difficult to create, and she'll still take the blame. We'll find another way."
Continuity Gets Nuked
If you recall, and you probably don't, The Overton Window ended with a mostly harmless nuclear explosion in the Nevada desert that was blamed on Molly Ross's group, the Founders' Keepers. It was witnessed by several members of law enforcement, and the evil PR firm cranked up their media machine to make sure everyone knew about and was scared of the massive nuclear blast.
In The Eye Of Moloch, however, Beck writes that the detonation of a nuclear weapon on U.S. soil had been covered up, and only a select few people knew that there had actually been an explosion:
Much like that recent and surprising launch of a Chinese-made ballistic missile from a submarine off the coast of Southern California, the cover stories about the Nevada explosion had flown so thick and fast that the while event had passed immediately into the wacky realm of the conspiracy theorists. It was a meteorite, it was a plane crash, it was a botched underground test -- only a handful of people really knew what had happened.
On the next page one of Beck's characters says that the "nonspecific alert" about the blast (the blast they were trying to cover up) "was serious enough to delay the fall elections; they still haven't happened yet." The elections were canceled because of an alert about a (possible) meteor strike in the desert?
Also, if "only a handful of people really knew" that a nuclear explosion had occurred on U.S. soil, then why do several characters in The Eye Of Moloch talk at great length about the generally known allegation that Molly and her group had set off a nuclear explosion on U.S. soil? From page 25:
"You've officially become an enemy of the state, Miss Ross. You, and your insiders, and your dead friend Danny Bailey -- by all accounts you're all homegrown terrorists, enemy combatants, the dreaded white al-Qaeda. You plotted with a turncoat FBI man to destroy a federal building and half of Las Vegas last fall, and you nearly succeeded. Your mother was so distraught over your treason that she committed suicide."
Considering the disconcertingly impressive sales of The Overton Window, it was inevitable that the series wouldn't end with The Eye of Moloch. As such, the book all but ends with "To be continued" stamped on the last page, leaving countless dangling plot threads waiting to be mishandled in a third book.
So we've got that to look forward to.

Central Connecticut junior Jaclyn Babe was named second team All-Northeast Conference on Wednesday morning. The 5-8 guard led the Blue Devils in scoring in her first season after sitting out last year as a transfer.
The Pittsburgh native totaled 446 points, which stands as the sixth best single-season mark in program history.
In addition to being one of the Blue Devils top scorers, Babe also ranked among the NEC's best. Her 15.9 points per game were seventh in the conference. She also dished out 80 assists giving her a 2.86 per game average that ranked 11th in the NEC and her 1.96 steals per game were also 11th in the conference.
Babe's consistent free throw shooting, she was 74-of-87 on the season, gave her an 85.1% mark from the line that ranked her third among NEC players. She was also a 41% shooter from the field and had a 32% mark from beyond the arc.
In all, she finishes the season with an impressive stat line of 15.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. She totaled 446 points, 134 rebounds, 80 assists, 55 steals and six blocks in 28 games.
Babe finishes the 2011-12 season with seven 20-point games. She also scored in double-digits in 25 of her 28 games played this season.
She led the NEC with 35.79 minutes per game. She played 1,002 minutes over her 28 games to reach that mark.
"Jackie did so much for us on the court this season," said head coach Beryl Piper. "Obviously she did a great job scoring the basketball, but she also rebounded and distributed the ball well. Her work ethic and leadership have been valuable for this team dating back to last season when she sat out as a transfer. The work she put in over the summer to improve her shooting really paid off. I am proud of her accomplishments this year."
Babe served as a team captain this season, having been selected by her teammates before ever playing a game with the Blue Devils.

Maisy and Mina (age 3) started by painting their boxes to their liking.
I love the portrait Maisy painted on the top of her box of me and the 3 girls.
While the paint dried, I took the paper tubes and cut them in half so they would fit into the box. Before glue was added to the tubes, I figured how many would fit into each box and arranged them the way we wanted them. We dipped one end of the tube into glue and attached it to the bottom of the box, then repeated for the rest of the paper tubes.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Nearly half of Israelis believe it is time to reduce their nation's dependence on America and seek new allies, according to the latest edition of a monthly poll conducted by the Israel Democracy Institute.
While 71 percent of those polled labeled America as Israel's truest ally, a 49 percent plurality said it was time to find a new national benefactor, though less than 30 percent believed Israel would be successful on that front.
Most Israelis view America as a diminishing ally for two reasons:
Over the past year, Israel has been seen cozying up to Russia, which has been all too happy to fill the void left by America, not only in Israel, but around the region.
Israel has also boosted relations with China of late, sending several delegations aimed at involving Beijing more directly in the Middle East peace process.
Burgeoning Israel-China relations and cooperation on diplomatic issues like defensible borders is all discussed in greater depth in the upcoming issue of Israel Today Magazine.

What's sad is they were serious when they said these things!
"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure?!?!?" Isn't that the very definition of failure?

It's all sourced from local producers and served with a wide selection of rustic sides and condiments to create the perfect roast dinner.

- Stix: China, Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar - they all have their own word for 'chop sticks', so onboard we just call them Stix! Indulge your passion for Asia's finest cuisines including traditional rice dishes, the freshest stir-fries, sizzling noodles and heart-warming dumpling soups. And don't miss our famous P&O Laksa!

Whether you're enjoying an old favourite or trying something new (like the renowned P&O tandoori), you'll love the incredible range, complemented by homemade breads, chutneys, raitas and pickles.
- McGregors Garden: Make friends with salad at McGregor's - serving up a selection of fresh salads that change daily.

- Twice upon a Time - Twice Upon A Time is a remarkable, original lyrical dance piece which has been created like no other show P&O has previously presented.

The contemporary dance style captures the tension and glory of the tale delivering an emotional masterpiece unlike any other show on board.
- The Velvet Rope - A mix of song, dance and drama, The Velvet Rope is set in a nightclub of the 1930s. This is a story of hope and perseverance, a lesson in not always listening to others but listening to yourself and a joyful mix of music blends linking the romance of troubled times in the 1930s with the slick music grooves of the 21st century.
- Slumber - P&O beds can be a place of rest, of nurturing and revitalising. They can also be a place of struggle and torment. A place to dream, to love, to play, to escape to. This original new production has a bed as the central theme and touches on these aspects with a dream-like treatment. Featuring a broad mix of contemporary songs, Slumber is bound to be an entertaining treat for all.

"Got what we paid for"
We cancelled a trip to Europe following the trouble in Paris so needed to find an alternative. So I got on the net, not really caring exactly where we would go, rather that the price was right. We decided on a cruise on the Pacific Eden going up the coast of Queensland. We were pleased with what we got - after all, $100 a day is pretty reasonable. Despite the media beatup on the gastro-intestinal outbreak on board (don't think I have been on board a ship where there wasn't at least a couple of cases) it was a very good trip. There are a few issues with the update to the previous HAL ship but nothing major. The only thing that really annoyed me was to be directed to be out of the cabin by 6am. Bit like we got your money, you've had your holiday, now get off. The entertainment from the ships company in the showroom was amongst the best I have seen before. As I said in my title, you get what you pay for so the general activities are basic, at the best, but do appeal to a lot of people. We were more than happy to spend our time reading and chatting to others.Read more

"Happy sailings"
First time cruising with P&O. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Entertainment was great and varied to suit all kinds of people. The Pacific Eden is a smaller ship but had everything you needed. I enjoyed the adrenaline (The Edge) activities that they had to offer on board to kill some extra time. However, on a longer cruise I feel you would be bored towards the end of the cruise. Some more fun activities to engage you around the ship on sea days would be good. Food was outstanding. Plenty of choice and the specialty restaurants were very nice with the Italian and Asian restaurants at no extra cost (You just had to book, get in early or miss out) I enjoyed the ship, staff and facilities and visiting Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands and have already booked my next cruise back there. :)Read more

"Satisfied "
As first time cruising wasn't to sure what to expect after reading mixed reviews of the boat we went on... After the first day I really couldn't fault much at all.. Not having anything to compare it to I was just going off the reviews I had read... In my mind the reviews I had read must of been of people that were just way to super fussy and just expect so much.... Our was nice , clean when we got in there and the cabin staff were so friendly and always there if we needed something.. While doing shopping the staff were very helpful ( but who wouldn't be when your spending money) . Food was always hot , fresh and plenty of it Yes it did feel like it was a little limited towards the end... But other then that couldn't say much bad about it at all... Plenty of bars never far at all if you needed a drink... The shows that we watched were great ... Over all the boat did show its age in certain areas but to me that's something that I would expect from a ship that spends its days a sea... Like everything it's only as good as you make it. But was very happy and we'll return...Read more

"Snorkelling paradise"
Had a great time snorkelling at all four islands Noumea, Lifou island, Mystery island and Mare island. Ate free at surcharge restaurants Dragon Lady and Angelos most nights. Entertainment was top notch and even got to meet Neil Diamond! Sat around the piano bar for a few nights singing along to old favourites. Had great cocktails, especially the Midori splice which was a particular favourite. Found many places to retreat to for privacy and to quietly read a book. The Pantry was very "food court" style which was not all that great. The offerings there also did not change from day to day. Salt Grill by Luke Mangan was a real treat and his signature licorice dessert was delicious. Drinks were reasonably priced and it was great being able to have a wine whilst watching the show and then another at dinner. There was an outbreak of gastro on the ship though which closed the pool for the last two days. Fortunately we were not affected and by then we had enjoyed the best of the cruise already which were the port visits. We were also fortunate enough to win some professional portrait photos in a raffle as well. All in all an enjoyable trip.Read more

"1st time cruising"
We went with a group of close family friends. It was our first cruise (for all of us). We all really had a great time. Checking in and first time getting on board experience was a breeze and exciting. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We all had oceanview cabins. The cabin condition was not bad but looked dated. The ship is old - maybe when they recently refurbished the ship they did not really do much with the non-suite rooms. All common areas such as Atrium, bars, restaurants looked really good, new, and luxurious. Our stewards were really friendly and helpful. Entertainment crews were great. Our kids (and their friends) had a great time in Kids Club. The crew there were superbly friendly and helpful. I have to say maybe because our kids were with their friends is one of the reasons why they had so much fun. One of the best thing about the cruise is The Pantry. Apparently, we heard only P&O is the one that has this. It is a food court style eatery instead of a normal buffet. The free restaurants had great service and atmosphere, but the food was similar to The Pantry (just presented better). Overall it was a very exciting experience and we are all would love to go to another cruise.Read more

For more than 100 years, Springfield has generated jobs and growth for the region. The city has also become rich with interesting and entertaining attractions and lifestyle amenities. Yet, we face many challenges in sustaining the quality of life we've built and making improvements that will benefit the next generation.
Our community, with help from a wide cross section of community and business representatives, drafted a set of strategic goals for the next 20 years. This collective vision is detailed in Field Guide 2030, a 20-year plan designed to establish a route for Springfield's future. The guide contains 13 chapters with four unifying themes – sustainability, civic engagement, regionalism and minimizing poverty – that address the most pressing issues in our community at this time.
Strategic planning is about setting priorities. There were many options to consider while developing this roadmap. The chapters address issues to improve quality of life in Springfield, set attainable goals for the area and in some cases, stretch goals. A community plan should do just that – make a community stretch.
Note: The "What's Next" video below, from Oct. 23. 2013 references the other chapter videos. Each of these videos can be accessed with the menu to the left.

Thought I would start something similar to Yahoo! questions.
Often times as we are arm chair GMing, Coaching etc... we run across questions that are sometimes difficult to locate answers to.
So I thought I'd make this a sticky thread for a few weeks...see if it catches on or not and go from there. This is more of a clarification thread then a discussion thread
I'd appreciate it if we could stick to the following format:
Hey what does it mean when someone is called a designated player?SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designa...ignated_PlayerA: Designated Player
"Each team in the NBA can nominate a rookie player to receive a "Designated Player" contract extension. A Designated Player is eligible for a 5 year contract extension, instead of being held to the standard 4 year restriction.[6] A team can only allocate a single Designated Player contract at any one time (if a team has already extended a rookie contract by using the Designated Player extension they cannot create a second Designated Player contract until the current contract expires, or until the player moves to a different team); however the CBA rules do allow teams to sign a second Designated Player from another team in addition to the one they already have. All teams are limited to having a maximum of two Designated Players contracted on their roster at any time (one which they have created from one of their own rookie contracts, and one which they have acquired from another team)."
I will likely delete answers without a source, or if I can find a source, I will edit the post to include it

A leather tunic-almost..
Added Jan 28, 2013
Melbourne, Austr...
I sewed this in my usual size using a leather-like knit. Unfortunately the fabric has very little stretch and no drape so it doesn't fit. But that's ok, it'll fit someone down at the charity shop.
More on living and learning (from bloopers) here.
Material Notes
Pattern: Burda 03/2009 Tunic 103
Fabric: Leather-like knit.
Modifications: Shortened front and back by 2 cm at waist and 1 cm at hem. Replaced the gathers at centre front with a single inverted pleat.

I think it fits pretty well, and it's definitely very well made.

I honestly think it looks great on you. You could also style it with a belt or something. But just this way, I really like it on you.

Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home." So goes the lyrics of the Motown song, a simple sentiment that rings in our ears wherever we happen to be in the world. Whether resting our heads in the global hotels we're required to inhabit due to work, or escaping to our homes in Toronto, Glasgow or London, we're fortunate that we seem able to relax regardless of geographical circumstances.
Our places in Glasgow and Toronto, thankfully, are suitably spacious (particularly the former) and in them we've carved out environments that make us feel immediately cosseted and safe. Our London pad has a 550-squarefoot floor plan that gives us a foothold in a city that many consider to be the world's coolest destination.
Small as our London pied a terre is, it's a perfect stopoff point when we're filming (or partying) in the sprawling metropolis. It's also a great holding bay for home product sourced for clients or, indeed, ourselves. Aye, be under no illusion; interior décor and home-accessory shopping are second to none in the U.K.'s biggest city. This in mind, we thought it might be fun to give you an insight into some of London's premier domestic outfitters. Next time you're over, use our guide to experience it all first hand. Or shop from the comfort of your armchair; many of the outlets we've listed will be happy to help arrange shipping.
Some stores are top-end exclusive destinations, while others are bargain-basement source points where minimal outlay will ensure maximum visual return. Whatever your budget, London style can be harnessed to suit your pocket.
Andrew Martin: Tucked discreetly into a South Kensington side street, this exquisite retail emporium has an exhilarating stock. Current stock includes the entire nose of a Spitfire airplane, classic movie posters, taxidermy, garden furniture and more tribal artifacts than you could shake a designer stick at.
Gerald Moran Interiors: Actress Gwyneth Paltrow and rocker Chris Martin bought their Belsize Park home from Kate Winslet and, in doing so, found themselves just a stone's throw from Hampstead Heath, where you'll find this achingly gorgeous style mecca. We only discovered this store a few months ago, and, while admittedly more of a design practice, they also trade wonderful antique furniture, beautiful object trouvés and fantastic artwork outsized on massive canvas stretch frames.
Skandium Knoll Studio: Last time we visited, we gasped as Madonna (we jest ye not!) walked around the store hiding behind oversized sun specs. Dutifully respectful, we decided not to scream and take photographs but instead watched from afar as she eyed Georg Jensen glass wares, timber chairs by Carl Hansen and office furniture by Arne Jacobsen.
TK Maxx: The sister company of HomeSense, stock is surprisingly similar and priced just as fairly. As part of a wee client job in London last month, we furnished an entire bedroom (bed excepted) for less than $1,500. For our restricted outlay we amassed nightstands, a wardrobe, all linens, a rug, lighting, drapery and artwork. TK Maxx is an absolute must if you insist on value for money and style in equal measure.
The Conran Shop: Occupying the former Michelin tire garage and arranged over several floors, there's a garden department, a book store, a wonderful lighting concession and acres of general home furnishings. To this day we draw inspiration from The Conran Shop's collection of international designers such as Knoll, Flos and Kartell, and have used the resource for a million and one TV and private client projects. .
Liberty: Their homewares department is relentlessly fabulous and, while certainly not cheap, offers an amazing range of bedding, case goods, silverware, antiques and mid-century modern items.
Nicholas Haslam: The shop has become a crucial stopoff point every time our client budgets can be stretched. Everyone we introduce to the store falls head over heels in love with the company's luxurious range of case goods, chesterfields and art work, much of which is imbued with 18th and 19th century Swedish and French flavour. The doyenne of London's elite, Haslam is considered one of Europe's most influential designers.
Alfie's Market: This emporium of all things fabulous positively throbs with antiques, mid-century modern design and cutting-edge home inclusions that would render even the most design literate slack jawed. If you want to buy a tiny precious collectible, say a crystal ashtray, or something more substantial, like a Knoll sofa, then this massive mecca is undoubtedly the store for you. .
The Design Centre Chelsea Harbour: Anyone in the know goes straight to this place when sourcing wallpaper, case goods, upholstery, furnishing fabrics or window dressings. It's a crowded house of independent retailers and designers who've gathered under one roof to service the U.K. design market. Pop by and pick up a few scented candles or talk to one of the many in-house design practices to tackle your entire reno project from scratch.
Atelier Abigail Ahearn: From whimsical, yet affordable ceramics to pop art mirrors, funky lighting and console tables fashioned in the shape of ostrich legs, this store is mind blowing.
Rocking Pony: Okay, so this store isn't located in central London; it is, in fact, 30 kilometres outside the city. And, come too think of it, Rocking Pony isn't actually a shop, as such. It's more an online retailer. But we absolutely love the company's Penny Black floor rug, an outsized design that's fully approved by The Royal Mail. Featuring a monochromatic portrait of Her Majesty the Queen and modelled (including perforated edge) on an actual stamp, it's a statement that's sure to guarantee a first class delivery of style.

HIGGINS, DICK: The Thousand Symphonies
In 1967 Fluxartist Higgins arranged for Captain Toby of the South Brinswick police to machine gun a lot of music paper. The shot-up sheets were then used as scores - the holes, tears and indents being interpreted by the players. Some of these pieces were performed in December 1968, Philip Corner directing. But this recording documents a concert given in 2003, again conducted by Corner and performed by a 28 piece ensemble of winds, brass, strings, electric and acoustic guitars, piano, a number of percussionists - including kit drums - glass instruments and voices. It sounds like controlled improvisation (which is what it is), but the different tracks take different generic approaches, so there is variety. The full score, pictures of some pages, and the rules of interpretation, as well as noted by Higgins and Corner are printed in the booklet that accompanies the CD. Limited Edition release.

To Learn More About John McDonald
There was a story in one of the newspapers the other day telling about how difficult it is for 'folks from away' to figure out where they're supposed to go around here because there are so few street signs in Maine.
The article specifically mentioned how the lack of street signs was a problem in Portland and South Portland but the same could be said about most towns in Maine.
The fact is we don't like street signs here in Maine and therefore we seldom use them. And GPS systems don't help. They're wrong more ofen than right.
I once asked a Selectman back home why there were so few street signs in our town to help people tell one street from another.
He said: "Why waste time and money on street signs. Everyone in town knows what the different streets in town are called and those from away who don't know can stop and ask directions like they're supposed to."
According to the article in the Portland Press Herald a number of intersections in Greater Portland - including crossroads that carry tens of thousands of vehicles a day - are unmarked or poorly marked, causing confusion for drivers who aren't familiar with the area's roads and turning local businesses into information booths.
What the article failed to mention was that in many small Maine towns giving directions is a small cottage industry; a finely honed skill passed down from one generation to another. What would happen to this traditional Maine 'industry' if towns started putting up clearly visible and mostly accurate street signs all over and confused tourists finally had a clue as to where they were and where they were going?
A few years ago when they introduced the 'enhanced 911' it was required that every street in our town be named and clearly marked with a street sign. Hollis Beal, the veteran town manager agreed to head up the street naming committee.
Well, almost immediately the street naming project became contentious and some members almost came to blows over one street name or another.
Among other things the committee was supposed to make the town's street names less confusing. For example our town had a Beal Street, Beal Road and Beal Alley. And right next to Beal Alley was an Alley Street, just to add to the confusion.
But every time Hollis made a motion to change a name the meeting would erupt into a heated argument.
On a road where two old town families lived - the Strouts and Alleys for example - each family insisted that the road bear their family name.
The whole experience was so stressful on Hollis that he finally resigned in disgust. He also resigned as town manager and took to his house, seldom going out. A few months later he died and many of those who caused him so much stress over street names rightly felt guilty. Selectmen eventually decided to name the new town hall after him and everyone in town agreed.
All this news was recently emailed to me by a friend back home. He went on to say I wouldn't recognize the old town with its new street names, new town hall and new town manager.
He said the new town manager, Fred, is one of those people whothinks he's a lot more important than he really is. His first day on the job he came into the new town hall and got right to work looking awfully busy.
A man came into the town hall and Fred just had to impress him with how important he was. So, as the fella waited, Fred picked up his fancy new telephone and pretended he was talking important town business to someone. Of course Fred was just talking to himself because the phone hadn't been hooked up yet.
When he thought the poor fella had been duly impressed Fred said "Goodbye" and - with a great flourish - hung up. Then, turning to the fella he said, "Yes, sir, I think I have a minute or two to spare between phone calls. Can I help you with something?"
The fella grinned and said, "Yea, I'm here to hook up your new phone."

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 39 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
Kids Against Waste
We are a startup. This is a site being built by a group of teenagers who want to reduce the amount of waste in the world. We are starting simple. In the US, 19.5 billion catalogs are produced annually. Over 19 billion will never have an order. We are starting with a viral campaign to get people to cancel their catalogs (most people don't even think about canceling and it is very easy to do). We are starting with contests within and between schools and we have commitments from large businesses to promote the effort as well. Goal is to eliminate 1 billion catalogs which would be 370 million pounds of waste plus the water and energy to produce them. Will expand from there to other wasteful practice areas. Progress will be tracked on the web site
Initial audience is other kids -- teenage. Will also need to be responsible enough to appeal to parents, business, and charitable organizations
We want the logo to be strong and confident, but not over the top. We want to convey the feeling of having an impact. It needs to have a youthfulness but without being silly. It should be something that could be put on a t-shirt or a button and look cool. Believe it will probably have some green in it to convey earth-orientation, but not committed to that idea.
We don't have preconceptions of what this should look like. We have a good plan to make this viral, but are looking for creative ways of communicating. Must not be be too complicated -- simple and clear will be better that could stand out from a distance when on a shirt.
We would be happy to list the winning creator on our site with proper credit even though we will own the rights to the use. We look forward to your ideas!

Please tell me that you all know about Yummie Tummie tanks and I have just been living in a hole! I am in Birmingham this week for work and I had a little bit of free time yesterday so I ran in to a little boutique ... and this is where I struck gold. On a little table with the Spanx were these amazing tank tops/ camisoles called Yummie Tummie!
As I have illustrated in the first picture the cami is basically broken up in to 3 pieces. The top is just your basic camisole or tank. The middle is where the magic happens!! It is tight stretchy material that is supposed to suck you in real good and eliminate muffin tops! Whoo Hoo! Then there is an extra piece of material at the bottom for extra length ... always good if you are tall like me.
Bad news is that these come with a hefty price tag. Boo! The tank in the first picture retails for $62 and the cami in the second picture retails for $72. Yikes. But what a great concept!!! I didn't try one on but when I came home and went to the website I found out that it was one of Oprah's Top Picks for Summer and Heidi Klum also endorses them. And we all know we can always trust Heidi and Oprah ... except when it comes to politics :)
Beau- I didn't buy one so don't freak out in case you are reading! Dave and FPU is really crampin' my style! But we are "living like nobody else so later we can live like nobody else" ... then I will be living like nobody else with no muffin tops!
If you have one of these let me know how it works for ya!

Top Ten Stupid Things an Ex-Cop Turned Pro-Drugs Has Said
Andrew Hawkes / PoliceLink
"May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't." -General Patton
Like most cops, I was seriously angered when I heard about a certain Ex-Cop and how he had gone from being a police officer to teaching criminals how to smuggle dope. It doesn't matter where you're from, a traitor is a traitor. And a traitor has no friends, only enemies.
So I decided to take the advice of the great General Patton and watch this certain ex-cop's video just so I could "know thy enemy". It wasn't long into the video when my anger turned into disgust as I watched him give advice that was not only stupid, it was down right dangerous. So I felt it was my duty to come up with this "Top Ten List" in hopes that some people out there will think twice before they buy this video.
10. "Never carry more dope with you than you can eat." – He implies here that if you are smuggling dope and get pulled over by a cop, simply swallow your dope. Most experienced officers have been in a situation where someone has swallowed dope and had to be rushed to the emergency room to have their stomach pumped so they wouldn't die. Eating and overdosing on dope can kill a person.
9. "All cops are drug addicts…" – He implies here that all cops are addicted to adrenaline. Feeling the rush of busting a criminal can hardly be compared with an illegal drug junkie. It is true that our job requires us to live in an heightened state of awareness but considering what we as police officers are called on to do and then turn right around and call us drug addicts is shameful. That's really low even for this guy.
8. "Don't drive too careful" – His point here is that a cop is less likely to pull you over if you are speeding. An estimated 1.2 million people die every year in fatal car accidents. Do us all a favor and keep this horrible piece of advice to yourself. On a side note, this piece of advice is irrelevant because a highly trained interdiction officer is going to pick up on other indicators even if the drug hauler is speeding.
7. "Love is the central theme" – He claims that the whole reason he made this video was out of love. Sorry but after watching the video, it is very evident that he wishes he were still a cop. But since he can't be a cop, what better way to profit from his knowledge (limited as it is) than to market it to criminals? Profit, not love is the central theme of this certain video.
6. "The war on drugs is pointless because we only catch a small percentage" – we also don't catch all of the child predators, murderers and thieves, but we dang sure try. This ex-cop seems to think that a lawless state with criminals and drug runners running amuck is the best for society. That is called anarchy and is absurd.
5. "Most Drug Dealers are good people" – is he sure about this one? Is he talking about the same cocaine and methamphetamine dealers who are smuggling their poison all over America costing thousands of lives and millions of dollars every year? I wouldn't exactly call them "good". A better word would be "parasite".
4. "Marijuana is safe" – Once again, this is a flat out lie. The average marijuana joint contains nearly 50% more of the chemical benzopyrene (cancer causing) than the average tobacco cigarette. Marijuana has been proven to cause bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma, and lung cancer. It is also been proven that marijuana is the second most common drug, after alcohol, present in the blood of fatally injured persons. That's real "safe" now isn't it? I could go on with more facts but what would be the point? Marijuana is NOT safe.
3. "It is impossible to overdose on marijuana" Tell that to Lake Highlands High School where 18 staff members were rushed to the emergency room after marijuana spiked muffins were delivered as a practical joke.
2. "Big Majority of Cops are Racists" – Maybe this ex-cop knew a few racist cops…big deal. There are bad apples in every profession. Again he is showing his ignorance and very limited knowledge of law enforcement. There are hundreds of thousands of police officer's in this country, and most of them are not racists but decent men and women of all races just doing their job.
1. "Interdiction officers don't work in the rain" – He is doing us a favor by telling dopers this myth. In fact, we should let him keep giving this advice!
Police Officer's all over this country put their lives on the line every day to make our world a safer and better place for us to live. Maybe someday someone close to this ex-cop will be affected by the sinister world of illegal narcotics and he will have a change of heart. This is not a game. This is real and we ARE at war. This is a war on drugs and violence and every good cop has joined this fight to win!
Good luck and stay safe out there and remember that your number one priority is to go home at the end of your shift…
