In May 1948, Universal Studios released a film that would change the direction of two of their most celebrated franchises. The movie was Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein, and it put Bud and Lou back at the top of their game. And while it rang the death knoll for the classic monsters, it would also secure their longevity in the hearts and minds of audiences for decades to come.
At the age of six, I was introduced to this film by way of a local network airing, broadcast in all its glory across a black-and-white television screen. To my memory, it was the first time I had ever heard of Count Dracula, The Wolf Man or The Frankenstein Monster. My young mind was already craving anything that stimulated the imagination. Like Lou Costello's Wilbur, I became caught in the hypnotic draw of Bela Lugosi's beckoning. Here were situations so compelling, alternately frightening and amusing, that each new sequence would draw me closer to that screen. That is until a concerned adult would order me to back away, citing the time-honored admonition of ruining one's eyesight. By the time The Wolf Man and Dracula plunged to their doom, and the Monster crumpled into the blazing pier, I had a calling in life. I didn't know how or where this magical thing was made, all I knew was that I wanted to be a part of it.
What followed my enlightenment that morning was a surge of invention, arching like the manic machinery in Dr. Mornay's laboratory. The Crayola-rendered drawings gushed from my memory and were ceremoniously pinned to the walls of my rickety backyard clubhouse. I would spend what seemed like hours in front of the bathroom mirror, "transforming" into The Wolf Man. My neighborhood chums were cajoled into performing living room reenactments of key scenes from the film, with me as director and star (either as Wilbur or Talbot…or both).
Memory was all I had to go on, for I would not see my creative muse again for several years. Unlike the privileged, instant-access youth of today, airings of movies like Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein were events to be wished for from month to month. When I was finally "gifted" by the gods of programming, Glenn Strange's Monster himself could not have deterred me from taking my place in front of that old Zenith.
Somehow I missed the wonderful animated opening credits the first time around, but that second viewing immediately galvanized my already feverish brain. Watching that cartoon Frankenstein lumber into frame brought a whole new element into play. As the silhouetted Wolf Man and Dracula skulked over the hill, a tiny switch clicked "ON" inside my noggin. It was the first time any kind of animation had triggered such a specific response in me. Woody Woodpecker had been taken for granted, but the Frankenstein Monster brought the respect that the art form deserved. Cartoons suddenly had the potential to be really cool.
So my drawings began to improve, reloaded by this fresh clip of Frankensteinia. Shortly after, I happened upon my first issue of Famous Monsters Of Filmland, and with it the revelation that there were other Frankenstein and Wolf Man movies out there. When the Shock Theater syndication packages began to play on the Saturday night "Creature Feature" movie, I was ready for them. They didn't always look exactly the same, but they were definitely my monsters.
Through subsequent viewings, I came to appreciate the film for its actual merits. The genuinely funny script, that wisely sidesteps the potholes of Bud and Lou's vaudeville routines. The atmospheric production design and lighting. Lugosi's improvement over his own 1931 Dracula performance. Lon Chaney's Talbot fighting for a noble cause between his moonlight metamorphoses. Glenn Strange's proof that he could do more than be a prop that sits up from the slab in the final five minutes. The rousing Frank Skinner score, with memorable motifs for each monster. All of these ingredients make for a thoroughly entertaining stew. Sadly, the film was the swan song for the three great movie monsters, and its tremendous success would make Abbott & Costello films the "elephants graveyard" for all the remaining cinema spookies. But perhaps killing off their erstwhile cash cows by way of a multi-demographic comedy was the shrewdest monster move the Universal suits ever made.
Very often I have found Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein to be a common denominator on the inspirational rap sheets of my professional colleagues. Like my experiences, many of my fellow writers, actors, directors and artists can cite the movie as a pivotal step in their own evolutions. We who marveled at these creations in our youth, have grown to become the creators. I asked a few of them about their own A&CMF memories.
"When I was a little youngster (radio carbon dating figures on request) I was packed away to" day "camp in the summertime," recalls Emmy-winning makeup fx artist John Goodwin, "and I remember the younger kids had to listen to the camp counselor tell stories about trees (!?) while the older kids got to see a movie, "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" in 16mm, whatever that was. Well, I knew liked Abbott and Costello, but I wasn't too sure about monsters yet. I snuck away into the darkened cabin where they were showing the movie - just when Lon Chaney Jr. was changing into The Wolf Man!! Scared me to death! I was back out in tree story land faster than you can crush an acorn. But the seed had been sown…"
Director Tom Holland, who created a formidable horror-comedy of his own with 1985's Fright Night, explains how A&CMF inspired a key moment in his film. "A & C meet Frankenstein gave me the inspiration for the moment in Fright Night where Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall) has killed the vampire's helper, and he and Charley Brewster start up the stairs again...while the monster sits up behind them, rises and starts up the stairs. The moment where Roddy hears the creak of the footsteps behind him and turns to see the monster he just killed coming toward him...is right out of A&CMF, and gets much the same kind of giggle."
Creator of some of the most recognizable movie posters of all time (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, et al.), award-winning artist Drew Struzan had this to say: "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein? I remember it being the stupidest, tackiest and most disrespectful take on Frankenstein I ever saw. And I enjoyed every moment of it!"
I became an actor, a screenwriter and an animator, all of which can be almost directly traced back to my early exposure to A&CMF. But the real test of the movie's magic became apparent to me after my older daughter Caitlin watched it, at about the same age I was when I first saw it. She enjoyed it so much, she insisted on watching it again…and again…and again. This was now possible in the instant techno-gratification nineties. Before long she was quoting Wilbur ("SANDRA! Junior? SANDRA! Junior?) and had perfected the Dracula hand gestures to the point that she could bend the will of any second-grader in class. Shortly after, she would begin to inquire about other vintage horror movies. She knew who these characters were now, and was curious to find out more. I took her to a screening of the 1931 Frankenstein at the Alex Theatre in Glendale. She faced the film without fear, and by its fiery climax, expressed pity for Karloff's monster. Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein had vaccinated her against fear of the original films, and the bias against "old" movies that were not in color. It occurred to me at that point that the film has become a kind of "portal," allowing young people to be introduced to the classic monsters in a gentler, acceptable manner.
Noted horror author David J. Schow suggests one explanation to the appeal. "I don't have research to bear me out on this, so it's a suspicion rather than a confirmed fact, but I daresay A&C Meet Frank was a convenient conduit for "first contact" between a lot of kids and a lot of monsters because by the time TV syndication rolled around, A&C were deemed "kid-friendly" matinee fare – no sharp edges, etc. – and therefore the film was broadcast often during the daytime on Saturdays, as opposed to later-night "melodrama" slots containing programming that might scare somebody, as wrongly or rightly determined by affiliate broadcast standards. Since it was thumbnailed as a "comedy," kids came for A&C and stayed for the monsters, so to speak. A lot of monster magazine cover art – in particular images of Dracula and the Frankenstein Monster – around this time were derived from this film's images to a degree that almost makes it look biased."
This is certainly true of the Universal monsters licensing art during the 1960's Shock Theater boom. The colorful Frankenstein images that appeared on the lunchboxes, wallets and 3-ring school binders were almost always of Glenn Strange. The Dracula image was Lugosi, direct from A&CMF. Since these items were marketed for kids, it makes sense that the imagery be plucked from the film created to appeal directly to them.
David goes on to make an excellent point about the film's intention from the start. "It's also important that a fundamental turning point occurs early in the movie, where the Monster is frightened by Lou in the wax museum; it is the big wink to the audience that everything will be safe and okay, and cannot be underestimated as the "doorway" through which every subsequent monster spoof or lampoon followed. That one gag is a big red flag signaling the end of the reign of gothic monsters at Universal."
Only the monsters and villains perish in Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein, and while the innocents are placed in great peril, not a single one is harmed during the film's 83 minute running time. Even the obnoxious Mr. MacDougal survives an attack by The Wolf Man. This makes it an easier pill to swallow for those second-grade first-timers. And once they have made it through to see Chick and Wilbur emerge triumphant, most are quick to grab that remote and return to the main menu for another spin through MacDougal's House Of Horrors.
The beautiful irony is that the film that was meant to be a stake in the heart for the Universal monsters may in fact be the film that keeps them alive forever. It provided inspiration for the filmmakers of today, and continues to serve as the welcome mat for new generations of classic monster fans. A couple of weeks ago, my younger daughter Tabitha, age 7, decided it was time that she watch her father's favorite movie. She's watched it six times since, and is now inquiring about a movie called The Bride Of Frankenstein.
The legacy lives on…

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 3, 2010) - On an emotional senior day the ETSU men's tennis team sent out seniors Daniel Isaza (Medellin, Columbia), Ofir Weintraub (Rishon Le Zion, Isreal) and Jason Ramski (Chicago) on a high note as the 55th-ranked Bucs closed out the top seed in the upcoming Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament with 5-2 victory over North Florida Saturday at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center.
With the win the Bucs improved to 13-7 overall with 9-1 mark in A-Sun play, while UNF fell to 13-7 and 6-3.
"It's nice to close out the regular season with six straight wins," said head coach Yaser Zaatini. "We played a tough non-conference schedule to get ready for this point in the season, because we know that when we kick off the conference tournament in a couple weeks every team there is going to be gunning for us. As a whole this league has gotten better and better every season and the level of play is the highest I can recall since we joined it. Part of that is because of the success we've had, but it's also because teams are getting better players every season."
ETSU opened play sweeping the doubles point, giving the Bucs the quick 1-0 lead. After freshman Jesus Bandres Caracas, Venezuela) and sophomore Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) took care of Daniel Sotomarino and Hleb Maslau at the No. 2 position, Isaza and sophomore teammate Robin Akser (Ornskoldsvik, Sweden) closed out the point with a 9-7 win against Mortiz Buerchner and Leonardo Nahar.
The Bucs also got a pairs win from its junior team of Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) and Charles Bottoni (Bois Guillaume, France), who rallied to take a close fight against Kurt Gattiker and Taylor Albrecht 9-8 (8-4).
After ETSU's fast start in doubles freshman Juan Carlos Ramierz (Asuncion, Paraguay) kept the momentum going in singles contests as the Buc newcomer extend the ETSU lead to 2-0 with a quick 6-2, 6-3 win over Graham Edgar.
Senior captain Danny Isaza followed his South American teammates performance with a impressive 6-3, 6-4 straight set victory against Albrecht on Court 4.
Needing only one point to clinch ETSU's sixth straight win Charles Bottoni stormed back from a close 7-6 first set win, taking the second 6-4 over Moritz Buerchner. Minutes later Sander Gille wrapped up the score with an aggressive 6-4, 6-4 victory over Hleb Maslau in No. 1 singles action.
With the regular season done ETSU will now take two weeks off before returning to action in the A-Sun Tournament April 15-18 in DeLand, Fla.
Attached above are final results from today's match.

Barbed wire ensnares and tears through exposed flesh.
Rivulets of blood stream from a laceration sliced open by shards of broken glass.
A wooden table splinters into toothpicks as a human being is hurled through it.
Generous people donate to a deserving charity.
That last line -- the charity bit -- doesn't seem to belong among the previous descriptions of "deathmatch" wrestling.
Then again, who better to understand the importance of well-funded healthcare programs than a crew of masochistic misfits who happily wallop one another with light bulbs, steel chairs and other unpleasant implements?
Vulgar, violent deathmatch wrestling for charity -- it's not really such a crazy idea, according to a friendly psychopath named Warhed, promoter and participant in the upcoming Deathproof Tournament in Kitchener.
"No one would expect the guys who hit each other over the head with furniture and bleed profusely to come together and raise money for charity," says Warhed, one of the most popular hardcore brawlers on the Ontario indie scene. "But we're human, and any good human cares about the wellbeing of others, whether a neighbour, coworker, friend, family member or stranger."
With that in mind, Deathproof Wrestling is allocating $5 of every ticket sold for their July 23 show to cystic fibrosis research, with the hope of raising at least $1,000 for the cause.
So while the in-ring action will not be for the weak of heart, the event has a refreshingly good-hearted mandate.
It's worth noting that the show won't be entirely made up of deathmatches ��expect some high-flying and traditional slam-and-suplex wrestling � but it still won't likely be suitable entertainment for impressionable children. There will be scantily clad women, vulgar humour, innumerable f-bombs and certainly violence. "And you will know us by the trail of blood," Warhed says, borrowing a phrase from American indie-rockers And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead.
The fundraising idea dawned on Warhed (Chad Gowing, when not wearing face paint) after he learned that one of Deathproof Wrestling's most avid fans, 23-year-old Kimmy Ingram, suffers from cystic fibrosis.
Thanks to the notoriety of his previous Deathproof shows -- which have earned the promotion the nickname the "Canadian Combat Zone," inspired by the ultraviolent American indie Combat Zone Wrestling -- Warhed knew he could draw a crowd. He also knew that Deathproof fans, although bloodthirsty between the bells, are generally decent people who don't want to see anyone truly get hurt (when a wrestler was legitimately knocked unconscious at the last Deathproof show, the audience sat in hushed, collective concern until medical attention arrived).
Warhed knows that blood-splattered hardcore wrestling is not high art. It feeds some of the nastier instincts of human nature -- bloodlust, vengeance and voyeurism, to name a few -- so it's definitely not for everybody.
But to truly enjoy a deathmatch, you also need a nobler human capacity --�empathy. To root for the good guy (and to boo the bad guy who is slamming him into a big pile of thumbtacks) the audience must feel the pain too, at least in a metaphorical way.
So perhaps it's not so strange that deathmatch fans, given their empathy for suffering, would happily chip in to support a medical charity such as the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
A deathmatch tournament with a conscience -- who'd have thought?
Colin Hunter once accidentally sat on a thumbtack, which was the extent of his deathmatch career. You can email him at email@example.com.

I found both yaoi and yuri to be really similar to the traditional het relationship model which we can see in women-oriented mainstream culture. Which is disappointing.
By the way, not all men in yaoi act like women. The 'top' usually acts like a son of a bitch. I mean, like an extremely authoritative and dominating male. The 'bottom' often makes an impression of being girlish, and also generally weak in a non-gender-related way.
Me, I'd like to see a dominating female lead for once. What can I say, my idea of a perfect girl is Lina Inverse.

Of course there's only a few smart yuri and yaoi titles out there, in a sea of rub-a-dub-servicey tripe. Which is why there are sites like Okazu and some other good critics to help separate the wheat from the chaff.
One final question to you, the threadstarter: after all we've given our answers, have you read them all? Um, and another thing, have you finished the "study"?

I'm not sure why the OP's question was formed as a "versus" ..... from what I've seen, a great many are fans of both. Myself, I don't "go looking" for either but if a story is good and happens to feature it - it doesn't either scare me off or get me extra interested. For example, the implied yuri in the Nanoha series wasn't what drew me to it but it becomes an interesting part of the story. I'm trying to think of a story with yaoi in it but really only specific special characters come to mind not necessarily connected to yaoi (e.g. Leeron in TTGL or Seiko-chan in Lov*Com). As it is, yaoi seems to be played for laughs in most of the series I encounter (e.g. Akikan! or Soul Eater).

From my understanding both Yaoi and Yuri fans are primarily females. Females tend to be more tolerant of these issues than men are. Men (myself included) in general only like Yuri porn, its kinda like a "cut the crap and lets get to the good parts", kinda like how Peter Griffin from family guy would fast foward through a chick flick in hopes of seeing a nipple. But this is just my opinion formed from viewing those around me.

Im into yaoi/shounen-ai more then yuri/shoujo-ai but if I see something I like Ill watch/read it. Yaoi is nice since it plays on a fangirl's dream TWO HAWT BISHIES (or more). Im straight and I like it. Im open to all sorts of stuff. Funny thing is most yaoi is totally cliche but kami help me, I eat it all up
I think yaoi is more maybe not necessary popular but more main stream then yuri since girls voice there fangirling more then guys. But I do see more refs to games intended for guys then BL games for girls, though I know both exist but it seems anime/manga wise, yaoi is published more. This is just what Ive noticed, I could be wrong. I only know of a few popular BL games for girls but I know more aimed for guys.

Very good points on matters on both sides of the fence.
In the case of different yuri and shoujo-ai titles I peruse, it depends on what I need for: if I want something the equivalent of a one-night-stand, I play that copy of Strawberry Panic; if I need a really good "WTF" mindscrew, Utena applies there; and if I want to relax with a cup of tea, of course, Marimite perfectly complements that.
Me... what's really important is that any show, yuri or no yuri, has to entertain well without having to insult my intelligence.

I prefer series that have subtle or implied shounen-ai/shoujo-ai and actually have decent plots. I loved Utena and Anthy's relationship in Revolutionary Girl Utena, and I did like the yuri in Nanoha. Miharu and Yoite's whole dynamic in Nabari no Ou is sweet (although tragic), and Kaworu and Shinji's relationship in Evangelion is fascinating in both the manga and anime. In short, I just like same-sex relationships in anime and manga to be the same as heterosexual relationships: interesting, well-developed, and believable.

Ah!!!! Utena no Kata.... THAT's the series I was trying to think of. I watched it with absolutely no prior clue of the content -- and yes, it held me in thrall til the end.

Im with blue skies, I really do prefer implied BL since it makes your mind wander a bit more then if youre actually staring at it. Or characters that just have a close/heart felt or even possessive relationship (thinking Ciel and Sebastian for the latter one), even though its not suppose to be there, you can get innuendos

Yuri. Being a straight guy, I prefer to see two girls getting it on. Which isn't to say that I necessarily hate yaoi, but I only care for it when its used for comedic subtext.
I actually haven't seen very many shows which had obvious yuri rather than subtext, but I did see Simoun and it ended up being one of my favourite shows of the last few years.

I'm a guy and i love yuri anime/manga for the reasons already stated by some, erotica. Haven't seen any yaoi; the closest thing i've seen to it is Princess Princess which involved gender bending (another favourite of mine).
I hardly ever see yaoi talked about on the Suggestions forum. On the other hand, yuri shows like Maria-sama ga miteru and Strawberry panic i see frequently mentioned there.

I don't like generalisations about much of anything really, so I don't really agree with the "straight guys prefer yuri, straight girls prefer yaoi" assertion.
I'm female and I like yaoi, yuri and hetero relationships in anime, as long as they are represented well, and are touching.
I find that yaoi and yuri shows have different themes predominantly, which may appeal to others in different ways. It's already been commented on before, but on the whole, yuri tends to have much more balanced relationships. (Part of the reason I found Strawberry Panic! so interesting was because they perverted that theme with the 'main couple') But the whole, the partners appear to be much more equal than in some of the yaoi shows I've seen, where power struggles are a recurring theme.
The intimacy and care in some of the yaoi shows I've seen is really moving, and it explores much more intricately how the differences in relationships can be a blessing and a curse at times. They also seem to go a little more deeply into exploring the sexual side of relationships, not just the emotional. That said, and as also previously mentioned, some of the borderline rape scenes in yaoi get a little hard to handle at times, which can decrease my enjoyment quite significantly.
Both also suffer from stereotypes. For yaoi, it's the "older, mature, predatory" male with the "younger, cuter, effeminate" partner, and the relationship switches to sexual very quickly. For yuri, it's the curse of the "All-girl's school" and the ojousama/normal girl pairing, often with a more dragged out romantic arc before the couple gets together.
I'm pretty open-minded, and from my observations girls do tend to be a little more likely to branch out into yuri than men do into yaoi, but again, that's a generalisation, so feel free to correct me at any time.

With the yuri.... the 'girls school setting' isn't so bothersome; in Japan its not unusual for girls to at least platonically bond that way in such settings (or so I've read) but one might expect to see two "newbie" girls teaming up more often. OTOH, the character development is quite a bit more up to par, though I tend to loathe the "ojousama" archetype in almost any setting. I think its the laugh they tend to use in anime .... o.O

Though I REALLY love for yuri plots to go beyond the all-girl school setting and genderbending/crossdressing gimmicks. Seriously, Japan you could pull off a perfect opportunity of a yuri anime series if it resides in the female idol industry! Which reminds me, has there been a true yuri anime series that's been a best DVD seller in Japan?

Yuri because of the fact that I am straight and usually two girls are very entertaining to watch. I do have a problem with Yaoi itself, it's just it comes with negative stereotype.
The "Gay Male" on television is usually depicted having an unsatiable sexual appetite that works for just about anyone who passes him by. And it much less settling for men because it's only there to fill in pleasure or primal needs. It feels like I rarely watch any shows with a male/male relationship and they have a deep, long-lasting history because of their common traits or activities. It's always sex, sex, sex.
While with Lesbians on the other hand, I've seen more series where there's just more of a romantic feel. It feels pure and NEVER shallow. So in a way, I also tend to yuri because it has more of a relaxed feel. Like, they would be a couple that you would have no problem hanging out with because they don't have a sudden urge to have sex on the table.
In a harem series...why do you suppose only the women of the series appear on promotional posters and scans? Why does the show seem to focus more on the eccentricities on the girls more than the male lead himself? It's like...why do we need a man in that equation in the first place?

Not surprisingly, moe-loli-bishojo anime always targets to the Otaku, who are adult male with no social life whatsoever. They truly are the "male lead".
But when it comes to yuri, well, there really isn't any actual yuri anime. Yuri as a genre is a manga thing: Yuri Hime, Yuri Hime S, and Tsubomi are the only manga magazines publishing yuri. Other than that, there are a few yuri manga being serialized in seinen magazines (Girl Friends and Sasameki Koto for example) and yuri one-shots appears regularly in shoujo manga magazines.
IIRC the readership of yuri manga in Japan is estimated to be 60% male, 40% female, and not all these girls/women are gay. On the other hand, not all the male readers are Otaku, which is the reason you don't see any anime adapted from these manga.

Sprint - Balanced Lifestyle - 8 Week Training Plan
Sprint - Balanced Lifestyle - 8 Week Triathlon Training Plan
author : mikericci
comments : 0
Why you would want to use this plan
This plan would be used by someone who is time constrained and has very little time to commit to a full bore plan. The workouts are all high quality so if you do miss a workout or two, you aren't ruining the core of the plan, which is high quality above anything else.
This plan was specifically designed for the triathlete who wants to 'cut back' on the hours training while still being able to be race ready. If you are looking to just cut-back and have fun, spend more time with your family and work on personal growth, this is a perfect plan for you.
Plan prerequisites.
*This is NOT a 'build' plan in that we are not significantly building volume. You do not want to train for your first triathlon on this plan. This plan assumes you have been training at a higher level and you want to cut back.
Plan schedule
Lifestyle enhancements
Every week in the 'Overall Comments' section of the training plan there are also optional 'lifestyle ideas' to implement to make your life more efficient and fulfilling - Ron is the author of this section. If you need to refocus your life on your family - or just to create more time, these are some great time-saving ideas to use in conjunction with this plan.
Background requirements
These minimums constitute the average distance and times for the first few weeks of workouts.
What to expect, performance-wise, on this plan.
Performance-wise this plan may surprise you with the race results if you go into the races rested – although the lack of volume could be a hindrance. I certainly wouldn't expect a PR on this plan, nor would I expect to qualify for any special teams or world championships.
In general this plan is about maintaining a level of fitness while you are in a holding pattern, and not about getting faster or going further. For example, if you know work is going to take up the majority of your time over the next 6 weeks and training time is limited, this might be the plan to keep your fitness from going south, but the workouts are short enough that you can get them in while in a time constrained circumstance.
Once you have completed this cycle of training and you are ready to get back on a more traditional schedule here are your options:
Racing on this plan - optional taper week
Only use days 57-63 as an optional taper week if you are racing. If you don't have a race, use days 1-56 and repeat as needed. You can easily insert the taper week every 3-4 weeks of this plan to race.

*Note, all new weekly concepts in this section 'build' off of each other. Continue to do the ideas presented in the weeks before.
Week 1:
Email and internet are time traps. It's too easy to start following links that people send you or things that are interesting to you (but not necessary). Before you know it, you are on the internet for over an hour and your life is none-the-better for it.
This week:
- No internet/email after you get home from work.
- Limit weekend internet/email to 15 minutes at lunch and 15 minutes in the evening. Skip the evening internet/email session if your life doesn't depend on it.
1 - Prioritize emails first. If you have time left, surf the net.
2 - Delete emails that friends send you that are just diversionary links to stuff that you know are just 'hey, this is funny' – these are big time traps that don't enhance your life.
3 - Automatically delete emails from people that just 'forward' links from others.
4 - Set a timer if needed to keep yourself in check
READING ASSIGNMENT: Start reading the 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch. This book is indispensible in getting rid of things that don't really enhance your life.

Week 2:
Focus on family!
Family time is being ever more quickly chipped away by the busy-ness of society. Both parents are working and you are lucky to only have to put in 40 hours per week to keep your job. A few things to think about are:
A - Will your family be better served if you downsized your house, drove a more inexpensive car, etc – if not to cut down on work hours? This will reduce your costs and possibly get you or your spouse going from full to part-time work or not work at all to have at least one of you there for your kids after school. This is especially important for infants to pre-school age kids who are not in school yet or only go for a half-day. If at all possible, find a way for one parent to be at home. Don't ship them off to daycare if you can help it. These are some of the most formative parts of your child's life and they need you, not strangers.
B – Is your 50, 60, 70+ hour per week job REALLY NECESSARY? Can you 'downsize' your life (house, car, etc) and move to a 40 hour per week job? This is especially true for those with a family. Kids grow up fast. They really need our attention. Working 40 hour+ per week is reasonable if you are just out of school and need to prove yourself to get experience, but if this is ongoing after you have a family, it will take a toll on you and your families happiness.
This week:
1 - TV off at dinnertime with your family…talk!
2 - Spend your after-dinner time with your kids helping with homework, doing an activity, etc. Playing video games with them does not count. Try to get a good hour or two in. Even better, spend all of the time after dinner and before bed with your family. Once it's the kids bedtime, then it's YOUR time (hint, get your kids to bed early!).
--> Things to do: outside activities (hiking or sports), arts and crafts. Build something with your children – models, Lego's, anything. Long-term, multi-month projects are great such as model airplanes where your child has the satisfaction of flying it once it is done. Teaching your kids to use their hands to build something is invaluable.
*If you know something that has helped you develop into a better adult that your parents did for you, reciprocate. Example, my parents were required to have me read a-page-per-night from a 'Victory Drill Book' – phonics based reading. It is not required for me, as a parent, to do for my kids now, but since I feel it helped me so much to become a better reader and speller – and just loving to read, I am taking extra time and supplementing this with my kids homework. Sure, it's more time from me, but the result is that my son is at the top of his class in reading and writing. Don't be selfish with your time, your kids are half-you and they deserve all the help they can get into developing into smarter, better adults.
-SINGLE? Read a book, think! Keep the TV off during some of this time.

Twinkle, Twinkle
"Twinkle, Twinkle", a quilt featuring 3″ Sawtooth Star blocks designed by Jo Morton appeared in the June 2010 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting (page 38). I fell in love with those little stars!
The instructions include traditional sewing techniques AND an alternative method of making the Flying Geese units using foundation piecing. I chose to use foundation piecing to make my star blocks.
Click on the "Download this Project" icon at AllPeopleQuilt.com. Page 5 of the download includes 16 Flying Geese patterns.
Use your foundation material of choice to print off the number of pages you need. Make sure your printer page scaling is set to "NONE". Measure the box on the page to make sure it is 1″. If it doesn't, you won't have 3″ finished blocks.
I used papers made by That Patchwork Place.
When making small blocks, use small prints. Although it looks like these two prints make a nice combo, when cut and pieced, the tan in the red print blends into the tan of the background print and you loose the star points.
A better choice.
The Flying Geese units before trimming.
The back side before trimming.
When making small blocks, I use this trio of tools, a 28 mm Olfa cutter, 6×8-1/2" Omnigrid mat, and a 2½" Olfa ruler.
The contrast in light and dark and small scale print make this a good combo.
Fabrics are from the Stafford County collection by Jo Morton for Andover Fabrics.

On September 14th 1606, after a nine months voyage from
Cochin, India, and a three month stop in the Azores, the Portuguese East Indiaman Nossa Senhora dos Mártires arrived in sight of Lisbon. A heavy storm forced captain Manuel Barreto
Rolim to drop anchor off Cascais, a small village a few miles from Lisbon. Here the nau Salvação, another returning
Indiaman from the 1605 fleet, was already struggling with the southerly gale. Dangerously dragging her anchors
in the direction of the beach, the Salvação was too heavy to be towed
against the wind by the galley that was sent to help.
A mid-16th century India nau after Lisuarte de Abreu (manuscript 525 from the
Pierpoint Morgan Library).
The next day, after seeing the nau Salvação run aground
on the Cascais beach, Rolim decided to head for the mouth of the Tagus River hoping to escape the tempest in the
calmer waters of the estuary.
However, getting past the sandbars
was not easy. Two large sandbanks narrowed the entrances, making the waters run dangerously fast in
both the northern and the southern channel.
Rolim headed for the northern canal, which by the early seventeenth
century was already considered too narrow and shallow to lay anchor in, and too crooked for any galley to tow a
large vessel out of. In the middle of the passage, the nau Mártires lost her headway
and was dragged to a submerged rock. She sunk in front of the São Julião da Barra fortress in a matter of hours;
soon afterwards she was broken up into such small pieces that witnesses commented it looked as if she had sunk
long ago.
Map of the Tagus Mouth in the 18th century (Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga).
Her main cargo of pepper that
had been stored loose in small holds, spilled out upon wrecking, forming a black tide that extended for leagues
along the coast and in the Tagus estuary.
A large amount of pepper was saved and put to dry by the king's
officers. The population also salvaged a notable quantity, as it was impossible for the soldiers
to stop the locals who, despite the dreadful weather conditions, every night went to the sea in small craft to
salvage what they could.
Peppercorns and coconuts from SJB.
During the subsequent summers,
the officers of king Felipe III of Spain - who was also king Felipe II of Portugal - may have salvaged a great
part of the cargo from the shallow waters, and they certainly rescued cables, anchors and guns.
Just as many other wrecks that
occurred at this dangerous channel, the Nossa Senhora dos Mártires was soon forgotten. The
tsunami that followed the earthquake of 1755 probably rolled heavy rocks over its remains and in 1966 a codfish
trawler wrecked nearby the site covering a large area with other debris.
São Julião da Barra fortress (photo Gui Garcia).
Stories of treasure troves
around the fortress of São Julião da Barra were certainly transmitted through generations, and the
spread of scuba diving from the early 1950s on heightened interest in the area. In the late 1970s archaeological
surveys were carried out by avocational archaeologists, but no governmental action was taken to protect the site.
Bronze mortars found at São Julião da Barra (private collection).
As a result the site was heavily looted by sports divers during the 1980s.
In 1993 the Museu Nacional de Arqueologia sponsored a survey of the site under the direction of Dr. Francisco Alves and identified
two main areas of archaeological interest.
The second one - designated as SJB2 - consisted of the remains of
a wooden hull with shards of Ming porcelain and Chinese earthenware dating from the late sixteenth or early seventeenth
centuries. Based on the information from the Museu Nacional de Arqueologia's shipwreck
archives, Nossa Senhora
dos Mártires was identified as the most likely name for
this wreck.
The areas SJB1 and SJB2 at São Julião da Barra.
In 1996 and 1997 excavations
were conducted on the SJB2 site under the direction of Dr. Alves and myself. The wooden hull was recorded,
and an area of approximately 100 square meters was excavated. Many artifacts were recovered from directly
below a ubiquitous layer of peppercorns.
These included three nautical astrolabes and two dividers, several
sounding leads, as well as porcelain, stoneware, earthenware, brass, copper, pewter, and silver and gold objects.
Among the organic materials
many peach pits were recovered along with ropes, fabrics, leather and straw, this later found between seven stacked
porcelain dishes. Several of these artifacts were exhibited in the Portuguese pavilion at EXPO'98, the
World Exposition, held in Lisbon during the summer of 1998.
A historical investigation
led by the team of the Portuguese Pavilion at EXPO'98 brought to light information about the lives of some of Mártires' crew and passengers. Among them were Aires de Saldanha, 17th vice-king in India (1600-1605), who
died just before reaching the Azores on his return trip to his kingdom, Manuel Barreto Rolim who was trying to
make a fortune in the India trade after being disinherited by his father in the sequence of an unwanted marriage,
the cabin boy Cristóvão de Abreu, who survived this shipwreck and the wrecks of the naus Nossa Senhora da Oliveira in 1610, Nossa Senhora de Belém in 1635 and S. Bento in 1642, dying at sea in 1645, returning from India as boatswain of the nau S. Lourenço. No less interesting is the story
of Father Francisco Rodrigues, a Jesuit priest who lost his life in this wreck coming from Japan to see the Pope
on matters concerning the future of the whole Japanese Jesuit mission.
Viceroy Aires de Saldanha.
These and other stories have been published in the catalogue of the Portuguese
pavilion at EXPO'98 under the title Nossa Senhora dos Mártires, The last voyage, Ed. by Simonetta Luz Afonso, Lisbon, Verbo, 1998.
In the summer of 1999 the Instituto Português de Arqueologia through its Centro Nacional de Arqueologia Náutica e Subaquática and the INA sponsored an excavation season on the SJB2 site, aiming at what is perhaps the most exciting
part of this wreck: its hull remains.
A section of the bottom immediately before the midship frames was
preserved, including a section of the keel, eleven frames, and some of the planking. Construction marks carved
on the surfaces of the floor timbers allowed us to not only understand the method used by the shipwright to conceive
the hull shape, but to reconstruct some of the hull dimensions with a good degree of certainty.
The hull remains in 1996 (Photo: Miguel Aleluia)
It was a large nau with a keel close to 27.72m in
length (91 ft or 18 rumos, the unit then used in Portugal), and an overall length of about 38.25m (125 ft).
The hull structure had been
built with cork oak (Quercus
suber), and the small size of the trees that were used forced
the shipwrights to assemble large structural pieces from several small timbers. The hull planking was cut
from umbrella pine (Pinus
pinea), with strakes almost 4 ½ inches thick (11cm),
and caulked with a string of lead, which was inserted between the planks during construction. Two thick layers of oakum were
pressed into the seam, against the lead string, and were then protected from the outside with a strip of lead. The
protective strip was nailed to the outer surface of the planks using short tacks with wide circular heads.The 1999
excavation season lasted two months.
The first month entailed intense underwater work to record some
important construction details and to raise most of the remaining structure.

Unfortunately since the 1997
excavation season the wood remains have been heavily damaged by the rough sea conditions. Most of the second month
was spent recording the timbers and preparing an exhibition of the artifact collection for Lisbon's Naval Museum.

If you'll recall not long ago we brought you our Digital Trends Best Concept Cars of 2011. Well, this week at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show we had a chance to check out a couple new concept cars first hand and got up close and personal with some old favorites.
Traditionally, CES has been all about cutting edge technology. But in recent times there has in been an increasing amount of crossover between the two, especially with the increasing amount of smartphone integration and internet connectivity many of the newest cars are sporting.
This year at CES we spotted concepts from Audi and its Urban Concept, the Ford Evos, Kia's sickeningly cute Naimo, and Mercedes commanding F125.
