Q: Who are John and Hank?
A: John is the Printz Award-winning author of Looking for
Alaska, An abundance of Katherines and the NYT Best
Seller Paper Towns. He lives in Indianapolis, Indiana, with
his lovely wife Sarah, his son Henry and his dog Willy. His brother
Hank is the brain behind Ecogeek, the web's largest
environmental technology blog. Hank lives with his wife, cat and
XBox 360 in Missoula, Montana.
Q: What is Brotherhood 2.0?
A: After noticing that their relationship had for years consisted
primarily of emails and instant messages, John and Hank swore off
all textual communication with each other for 2007. Instead, they
made public video blogs back and forth every weekday for the entire
year. (They got holidays off.)
Q: What's a Nerdfighter?
A: Hmm. Watch the videos from February 1st, February 17th, and July 25th. (If you don't want to watch those
videos, then you are probably not a Nerdfighter.)
Q. In your introductory animation, it says "365 Days of
Communcation." Can you not spell or something?
A. We can spell just fine, thanks. The I was left out to remind our
viewers: THERE IS NO I IN BROTHERHOOD!
Q. That's stupid.
A. Okay, we couldn't make the animation work with the correct
spelling. It kept breaking.
Q. The intro says that you were going to have "365 Days" of
textless communcation, but you didn't post on weekends? What
A. We get a lot of questions about semantics. It's almost like all
our fans are librarians and editors or something. Anyway, you do
not need to post a video blog in order to have textless
Q. Why does John call his wife the Yeti?
A. Watch the video from January 2nd.
Q. What's the song from the B2.0 intro?
A. It's Death Cab for Cutie's "Brothers on a Hotel Bed."
Q. What is all this crap about In Your Pants?
A. It's complicated. But it all started with our friend Maureen
Johnson. (See January 23rd video)
Q. What equipment do you use?
A. Hank and John used identical Canon Elura 100 camcorders, which
their parents bought them on Christmas Eve 2006. They now both use
Canon HV30s, the best pro-am Mini-DV camcorder in existence. Hank
also owns a Canon WD-H43 Wide Angle lens. The brothers edited their
videos in iMovie, but have since switched to Final Cut Express.
Q. What do your parents think about this?
A. "The parents are bemused but supportive."
Q. What is the "Evil Baby Orphanage" I keep hearing
A. This idea came out of the moral dilemma of whether it is ok to
kill baby Hitler, who has technically done nothing wrong. Instead,
Nerdfighters propose that we time-travel back to take them as
babies to a remote location where they are brought up in a
nurturing environment and can therefore do no harm.
Q. What does "jokes" or "so jokes" mean?
A. It started in the July 25 video. It basically is replacing cool
with jokes which is totally so jokes.
Q. What does DFTBA mean?
A. DFTBA stands for Don't Forget To Be Awesome something we should
never forget but nerdfighters have found some other very
interesting things is stand for too which Hank expressed in an
awesome video.
Q. How do I get in touch with the webmasters or
A. You can email us at: email@example.com
Q. A lot of people have been asking "WHO THE EFF IS
A. To be honest we just don't know. We have set up a committee to
find out and we'll get back to you on that.
Q. Is one still able to become a Secret Sibling?
A. Yes! All you have to do to become one is post a video response
to one of Hank or John's videos (preferably several).
Q. What is a Decepticon?
A. One of the many inside jokes that emerged from Brotherhood 2.0,
but generally they are the mortal enemies of Nerdfighters (popular
people). The term first came about in Hank's
video on July 3rd, 2007.
Q. Why won't John sing anymore?
A. John has written and preformed three songs during 2007, but due
to his lack of musical talent gave the Nerdfighters a gift on
December 31st, 2007 (the gift of course being that he
wouldn't sing anymore).
Q. What does "bedododo" mean and where did it come
A. Bedododo was created by Alex Day, a known Nerdfighter, video blogger
and musician. Alex first introduced the term in a video he created
called, "the Cheer of the Nerdfighters" and although the video has
since been deleted the term remains to this day. It is most
commonly used as a greeting and/or a way to express happiness.
Q. What's the name of Hank's cat?
A. CameoQ. How can hank can eat meat if he is an environmentalist?
A. Although its not exact, this video does a pretty good job of summarizing Hank's view on eating meat.Q. Isn't Hank green that guy from the little shorts in cyberchase?
A. No. To the best of my knowledge the only television network Hank's ever been on is the Weather Channel.Q. Where did the nerd fighters hand sign come from?
A.The Short Answer (provided by Nerdfighter Vivian Hernandez): The nerdfighters hand sign is Spock's signature "Live long and prosper" from Star Trek. It's just done on both hands except one, with palms facing inwards.The Long Answer (provided by Chrissy PokémonMaster Davies): The hand sign is a take-off of the Vulcan Salute, which was used by the Vulcans as a gesture of good will, good manners and awesomeness, meaning "Live Long and Prosper." Lenonard Nimoy (if you want to know more about Spok, google Leonard Nimoy or watch some Original Series Star Trek episodes) played Spock on the original series of Star Trek, and developed the hand gesture based on a Blessing given by Jewish Kohanim. It represents the Hebrew letter Shin, which looks a lot like the hand gesture, and means Almighty God.
Strangely enough, the Nerdfighters gesture is more like the Shin than Nimoy's depiction.
In the nerdfighters hand sign question, you misspelled Spock. And Leonard. I am horrified.
In this FAQ Question/Answer the links for February 1st and July 25th are broken.
Q: What's a Nerdfighter?
A: Hmm. Watch the videos from February 1st, February 17th, and July 25th. (If you don't want to watch those videos, then you are probably not a Nerdfighter.)
Do you still accept ideas for punishments? Because if so, I would like to suggest that one of you has to do the canned foods shower dance to Britney Spears' "toxic." :)
I don't know what my password is.
Can someone please fix the FAQ links for the Feb 1st and July 25th videos so that they connect to the correct videos? Thank you.
To Peter Kirby,
Instead of* one.
Do you guys have a P.O. box?!
I found something really awesome I would like to send you!
how do you make a hand sign using "both hands except one"?
is it even possible for a website/vlog channel/ overall group of people to get any more awesome??
Is Hank ever going to have a kid???
Who is Esther?
How can I contact Hank or John in regards to wish a happy birthday to my best friend and fellow nerdfighter?
What kind of cameras are Hank and John using now? My son thinks Hanks is better. I say they use the same cameras.
John and Hank PO Box?.. I have had an awesome idea for Hanks upcoming birthday in May and if I don't make it happen, the tiny chickens will destroy my brain!!!
Does the hanklerfish like eating it's own babies? Also, is Hank an undercover fry cook?
Does Hank take song topic requests? And if so, could he please write a song about black widow spiders? pretty pretty please with sugar and cinnamon and other spices that americans like on their food on top??? :D

Andrea and Andres, Rancho Palos Verdes
love these two. So much. Not only because Andrea and her sister are one of my very favorites of the wedding industry, but because they truly believe in our aesthetics to let us paint them a wedding day filled with inspiration straight from Disney's Tangled and Fantasyland.
The end result was an ambient and idyllic scene of Ombré lanterns and lights that filled the sky and scenic view of Andres's gorgeous backyard home.
The burlap runners were dyed a sea foam green to contrast the warm tones of lanterns above guests heads, and were covered with gnarled branche-centerpieces of wild and colorful florals, ranging from parrot tulips to garden roses and ranunculus.
Did I mention the delicious cakes? I am the most finicky person when it comes to wedding cake. Porto's knows how it's done. I had two slices! This one was definitely for the books.
Check out the full post on Style Me Pretty.
Special thanks to the awesome crew that made this happen:

The Down and Dirty Facts
The second annual Dirty Work Index™ survey found that when it comes to cleaning, women think they do it all. In fact, 58 percent of women say it's their "job" to clean, and a quarter (25 percent) of all women feels as if they are the cleaning "leader" in their homes. Conversely, more than half of women confided that they want more overall help from their partner or spouse, but 38 percent don't trust them to meet their standards of cleanliness.
Manning Up
The survey revealed that men are helping around the house, however they aren't given credit when credit's due. Interestingly, 45 percent of men surveyed say it's their job to clean and contribute to the household accordingly. More surprisingly, nearly 75 percent of men claim to clean to make their spouse or partner happy – demonstrating they do care about helping out and are picking up the slack.
"Women's and men's roles outside the home have definitely evolved, but the Dirty Work Index™ survey results indicate that we need to make more of an effort to make changes inside the home, too," says Gray, whose bestselling book "Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus" is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. "It's important to take a closer look at things like household tasks to determine what's working – and what's not."
Gray Helps Couples Tackle the Chore War
From February 2012 through June 2012, John Gray will be offering tips and advice to couples on how to conquer household chores and create more harmony at home. By visiting Scrubby Solution's Facebook tab families can share their roles, responsibilities and tips for getting it all done. Additionally, they can participate in a Q&A session with John Gray, take a cleaning personality quiz complete with product recommendations and cleaning solutions, and read more surprising data from the Scrubbing Bubbles® Dirty Work Index™ survey.
Cleaning for the 21st Century: A Balancing Act
The foundation of a family begins at home so managing home life – including cleaning – is essential to families' happiness. How families deal with household chores either strengthens the partnership or creates a divide. Gray offers this advice for creating the best atmosphere at home:
1. Define the roles: It's important to identify all the household chores and discuss who will have ownership of each.
2. Discuss expectations: The results showed that women don't trust men to meet their standards of clean. Gray recommends that women actually show men how they want the house cleaned and that couples discuss what clean means to each of them.
3. Look for time-saving cleaning tools: Stock your home with cleaning products that are easy to use and efficient. For example, use Scrubbing Bubbles® Automatic Shower Cleaner and Scrubbing Bubbles® One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner. These products make the tough tasks easier so anyone in the family can help clean.
4. Remember to say thank you: Whether or not the bathroom shines the way you want, don't forget to say thank you for making the effort.
Win: One lucky winner will receive a Scrubbing Bubbles Prize Pack which includes the Automatic Shower Cleaner and One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner.

Complexion perfection at the beach is no easy feat. But the thought of applying concealer or foundation to hide imperfections? Gross. On a recent sunny getaway I discovered SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50, $32, an amazingly lightweight tinted formula that not only camouflages blemishes but conceals pasty skin, too. Genius. The formula is silky with a matte, velvety finish and it doesn't clog your pores or leave any icky residue behind. The end result: high-quality broad-spectrum UV protection and skin that looks good. And for all the days you won't be lounging by the sea this summer, it's perfect under makeup, too. If you still need it.

Her home on Mount Alto features so many Christmas trees that when Temple's 12-year-old daughter MacKenzie began to count how many the family decked out for the holidays, she had one simple response for her: "Mom we have more Christmas trees than the White House!"
There are 14 trees that adorn the inside and a few more outside.
Temple said she sees her yearly decorating as a way to bring a smile to the faces of her friends and family, but also as a way to pursue her passion for making arrangements.
"It does take a long time," Temple said. "We started the Saturday before Thanksgiving with putting the lights up outside. And everything outside is done with white lights on the front porch and the foyer."
With the outside of the house tastefully decorated and the outdoor trees bestowed with ornaments, Temple then move to the rooms inside, where each one has a theme tailored to the room.
For instance, Temple said, the kitchen features a tree decorated with fruits and berries, while the dining room features a tree decked out in crystal ornaments and flowers to match.
Her prized tree is in the family's living room, which features ornaments that have been collected since she was in high school.
"My husband and daughter won't hang anything on the trees," she said. "They told me it didn't matter where they hung them because I would always find a better spot and move the ornament to where I wanted it. So now they just sit and watch me decorate the tree."
Though Temple admits that it might be a lot to do, all this decorating — along with decorating trees, wreaths and flower arrangements for the holidays as a side job and for charity — she takes pride in putting up the decorations each year. The decorations come out in specially labeled crates, lovingly packed and unpacked by her husband Jody each year.
And even though her husband and kids might hem and haw at the yearly decorating, but they enjoy it too.
"My son is 21 (Joshua Pickens) and away at college, and he thinks I'm insane," she said. "But, once all the decorations are up and he's home he's calling up his friends to come and see it all."
The decorating on a large scale started with Temple as a family tradition, brought on by her grandmother's love for Christmas, but she took it to another level.
She envisions a day where she can't keep up the decorating any longer — when she's much older and gray — but until then she plans to keep up with trimming all the trees around her home and keeping the smiles on their faces.
"It does get tiring sometimes," Temple admitted. "I've been sick this year, so it's been a lot to do all this. But then my husband will see something in a magazine and he'll say that we should get this for the decorations."
But Temple insists that they won't be adding any more trees to the house, not until they finish furnishing their basement.

Import and Export Controls
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) is the federal authority that regulates the import and export of nuclear substances, prescribed equipment and prescribed information (technology).
Licences are required for:
- import and export of nuclear and dual-use material, equipment and technology
- export of risk-significant radioactive sources.
Nuclear and Nuclear-Related Dual-Use Items
The CNSC implements a licensing and compliance process to ensure nuclear imports and exports conform to Canada's nuclear non-proliferation policy, international obligations and commitments, and regulatory requirements, under which controlled nuclear substances, material, equipment and technology transferred between Canada and other countries are to be used in only peaceful, non-explosive applications.
Under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Import and Export Control Regulations, Canadian importers and exporters must obtain and comply with licences controlling the international transfer of nuclear and nuclear-related items.
Service Standards
Risk-Significant Radioactive Sources
To export risk-significant radioactive sources (IAEA Category 1 and 2 described in Table I below), Canadian exporters must obtain a transaction specific export licence. The issuance of the licence is consistent with the provisions of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources (the Code) and its supplementary Guidance on the Import and Export of Radioactive Sources (the Guidance) for import and export controls for risk-significant radioactive sources. Licence applications to export Category 1 radioactive sources from Canada are subject to prior consent by the Importing State Authority.
- Application for a Licence to Export Risk-Significant Radioactive Sources (PDF)
- Instructions for Completing an Application for a Licence to Export Risk-Significant Radioactive Sources
The CNSC import and export controls for risk-significant radioactive sources assist in providing assurances to Canadians and the international community that international transfers of such sources are consistent with provisions of the IAEA Code and Guidance and that their use is solely for beneficial and peaceful purposes. Control of the Export and Import of Risk‑Significant Radioactive Sources (INFO-0791), provides additional information on the CNSC's regulatory control program for the export and import of risk-significant radioactive sources.

Import Controls
A separate licence to import risk-significant radioactive sources is not required provided that the Canadian licensee is authorized to import and possess such sources under their general possession and use licence. Importation of risk-significant radioactive sources may not occur without this general authorization.
All imports of Category 1 radioactive sources into Canada are subject to CNSC prior import consent. In addition, all imports of Category 1 and 2 radioactive sources require Prior Shipment Notifications to be issued by the Exporting Facility or the Exporting State Authority.

TODAY IN HISTORY: Jan. 24
Today is Thursday, Jan. 24, the 24th day of 2013. There are 341 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Jan. 24, 2003, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security officially opened as its head, Tom Ridge, was sworn in. (Creation of the new Cabinet agency was the largest government reorganization in more than 50 years, a response to the Sept. 11 attacks and the threat of further terror.)
On this date:
In 1813, the Royal Philharmonic Society was formed in London.
In 1848, James W. Marshall discovered a gold nugget at Sutter's Mill in northern California, a discovery that led to the gold rush of '49.
In 1908, the Boy Scouts movement began in England under the aegis of Robert Baden-Powell.
In 1942, the Roberts Commission placed much of the blame for America's lack of preparedness for Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on Rear Adm. Husband E. Kimmel and Lt. Gen. Walter C. Short, the Navy and Army commanders.
In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill concluded a wartime conference in Casablanca, Morocco.
In 1961, a U.S. Air Force B-52 crashed near Goldsboro, N.C., dropping its payload of two nuclear bombs, neither of which went off; three crew members were killed. Continued...
In 1963, a U.S. Air Force B-52 on a training mission crashed into Elephant Mountain in Maine after encountering turbulence and losing its vertical stabilizer; seven of the nine crew members were killed.
In 1965, Winston Churchill died in London at age 90.
In 1978, a nuclear-powered Soviet satellite, Cosmos 954, plunged through Earth's atmosphere and disintegrated, scattering radioactive debris over parts of northern Canada.
In 1987, gunmen in Lebanon kidnapped educators Alann Steen, Jesse Turner, Robert Polhill and Mitheleshwar Singh. (All were eventually released.)
In 1989, confessed serial killer Theodore Bundy was executed in Florida's electric chair.
In 1993, retired Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall died in Bethesda, Md., at age 84.
Ten years ago: Connecticut became the first state to take part in the U.S. government's plan to inoculate a half million health care workers against smallpox. (Only four doctors agreed to be vaccinated the first day.)
Five years ago: Congressional leaders announced a deal with the White House on an economic stimulus package that would give most tax filers refunds of $600 to $1,200. French bank Societe Generale announced it had uncovered a 4.9 billion euro ($7.14 billion) fraud by a single futures trader. Italian Premier Romano Prodi resigned after losing a Senate confidence motion.
One year ago: Declaring the American dream under siege, President Barack Obama used his State of the Union address to deliver a populist challenge to shrink the gap between rich and poor, promising to tax the wealthy more and help jobless Americans get work and hang onto their homes. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney released his 2010 tax returns, showing that his annual income topped $20 million and that he paid about $3 million in federal income taxes.
Today's Birthdays: Actor Jerry Maren ("The Wizard of Oz") is 94. Actor Marvin Kaplan ("Top Cat") is 86. Cajun musician Doug Kershaw is 77. Singer-songwriter Ray Stevens is 74. Singer-songwriter Neil Diamond is 72. Singer Aaron Neville is 72. Actor Michael Ontkean is 67. Actor Daniel Auteuil is 63. Country singer-songwriter Becky Hobbs is 63. Comedian Yakov Smirnoff is 62. Bandleader-musician Jools Holland is 55. Actress Nastassja Kinski is 54. Rhythm-and-blues singer Theo Peoples is 52. Country musician Keech Rainwater (Lonestar) is 50. HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan is 47. Comedian Phil LaMarr is 46. Olympic gold medal gymnast Mary Lou Retton is 45. Rhythm-and-blues singer Sleepy Brown (Society of Soul) is 43. Actor Matthew Lillard is 43. Actress Merrilee McCommas is 42. Actor Ed Helms is 39. Actress Tatyana Ali is 34. Rock musician Mitchell Marlow (Filter) is 34. Actress Mischa Barton is 27.

The I-44 bridges over Darlington Avenue were replaced in 2010 as part of a project to widen I-44 to six lanes between Yale Avenue and west of 41st Street. During the project, westbound traffic was diverted to the I-44 access road, and the westbound bridge was replaced first, while eastbound traffic remained unchanged. Upon completion of the bridge, Eastbound traffic then was diverted to the new westbound bridge so the eastbound bridge could be rebuilt. Westbound traffic remained on the frontage road. The new bridges also have three spans with steel girders and full shoulders. The I-44 frontage roads in the area have been rebuilt with concrete. Children's Medical Center also has been demolished and replaced with a shopping center. Photo taken November 11, 2011.

Automakers sold 14.3 million to 14.5 million vehicles in 2012, according to early estimates, making it the the industry's best year since 2007.
"Auto sales have been resilient even through economic uncertainty," said Jessica Caldwell, an analyst with auto information company Edmunds.com.
Factors such as low interest rates and an aging fleet of cars that consumers need to replace kept auto sales growing throughout the year and should sustain the industry this year, Caldwell said.
General Motors said its December sales grew 5% to 245,733 vehicles.
"GM's strong finish in 2012, the industry's momentum and the overall health of the U.S. economy make us optimistic about 2013," said Kurt McNeil, vice president of U.S. sales operations. "The budget compromise reached in Washington this week removes uncertainty and clears the way for full-year light vehicle sales to rise to the 15 million- to 15.5-million-unit range in 2013."
Other automakers were more cautious in their outlook.
"It would have been nice if all the open questions with the 'fiscal cliff' would have been resolved over the holiday," said Jonathan Browning, chief executive of Volkswagen Group of America. The ongoing discussions don't help the sense of confidence in the economy, he added.
Browning said 2013 auto sales could reach 15 million, but warned that could be influenced by the state of politics and the economy in the coming months.
For December, the automaker's VW brand grew 35% to 44,005 vehicles, its best December since 1970.
Chrysler Group said its December sales grew 10% to 152,367 vehicles compared to the same month a year earlier. It was Chrysler's best December since 2007.
"Looking back on 2012, we were again one of the fastest growing automakers in the country with total sales up 21%," said Reid Bigland, Chrysler's U.S. sales chief "We also recorded 33 consecutive months of year-over-year sales growth and our strongest annual sales in five years."
Ford had the smallest increase of the domestic automakers. Its December sales rose 2% to 214,222 vehicles. Still, it was Ford's best December sales results since 2006.
Toyota said its U.S. sales grew 9% in December to 194,143 vehicles.
A host of new vehicle offerings should help the industry's sales this year and next.
Automakers plan to make 43 new vehicle introductions in the U.S. this year, up nearly 50% over 2012 levels, according to auto research firm R.L. Polk & Co. In addition, 60 vehicle redesigns are expected in the coming year.
"New launch and refreshed product activity is likely to result in an uptick in registrations as showroom traffic and, in turn, sales tend to increase in the time frame surrounding new introductions," Polk said in a statement.

Dave Wood's Book Report, Jan. 21, 2009
Several years ago, my friend novelist Carolyn See wrote a tell-all book about her family's century long love affair with alcohol addiction.By: Dave Wood,
Several years ago, my friend novelist Carolyn See wrote a tell-all book about her family's century-long love affair with alcohol addiction, written with her usual literary flair. See is a fine California novelist ("Rhine Maidens," "Making History") who doesn't get enough attention here in the Midwest.
She was coming to read at the Hungry Mind in St. Paul, so I wrote a column about here appearance and hied myself over to see her.
What a surprise! The place was packed with people - standing room only. This for a writer whose last novel had flopped in the Twin Cities.
Even Carolyn, who is never non-plused was a bit shocked as she began her talk. And when the questions started to come, it became evident that the crowd had little interest in literature, but were addiction junkies, if I might coin a phrase.
These are the people who have suffered from addiction or whose friends and relatives have and who reach out to anyone who might prefer a snort of cocaine or a bottle of Jack Daniels.
When she was finished a member of the audience asked Carolyn how these terrible addictions affected her family and her life.
Carolyn replied, with only a smidgen of irony, "Looking back, I guess I could say it was really a lot of fun."
So much for the big shindig at The Hungry Mind.
I am not a addiction junkie, but I occasionally read books about it and enjoy them, especially books like Carolyn See's.
I hereby add to that list "Wishful Drinking," by Carrie Fisher (Simon & Schuster, $21). Fisher, of course, is the writer/actor/wit and daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher.
She's written several books, including "Postcards from the Edge," which was made into a movie starring Shirley McClaine as Reynolds, Meryl Streep as Carrie and no one as Eddie Fisher. It's a bittersweet tale of a major star's daughter and her descent into addiction.
"Wishful Drinking" is not a fictional tale; it's the truth about Carrie Fisher, who achieved fame at an early age in the movie "Star Wars" and has spent much of the rest of the time since then trying to screw it up, then clawing her way back to sanity, all done with breezy good humor. Here's a sample:
"Now come back with me when I was first told that I was an alcoholic -- which greatly relieved me by the way, because I knew something was the matter with me, so I thought 'Great! That's it -- that's what I've been struggling with (and enjoying) all this time!
"But what they (the diagnosticians) do -- to soften the blow of this arguably awkward new way of looking at yourself -- they enumerate a number of other famous and accomplished folks who have also struggled with (and enjoyed) alcoholism.
"There was Scott Fitzgerald, Mel Gibson, Dylan Thomas, Ireland, Rush Limbaugh, Lindsay Lohan, Russia and George W. Bush.
"I think their point – don't feel bad. You're joining an illustrious group. Great people have been alcoholics. Oh, be one, it's fun! … so relax and join the great drunks who staggered the Earth before you."
Wait, gentle reader, there's more, as Fisher continues:
"So when I was told I was a manic depressive there was a whole new list waiting for me. There was Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Kristy McNichol, Sir Isaac Newton, Mark Twain, St. Francis, St. Theresa, Jonathan Winters, Brittany Spears and George W. Bush."

*Official* Road to the 2010/11 Ashes
I have been waiting for James to start the next Ashes Official thread
Is it too early? Am I the only one excited enough, who wants to start talking about it now? Is Ricky going to retire if Aust win? Is it going to be all over by Melbourne again? Can this thread be deleted as spam??????????
You know it makes sense. |

I guess we'll have another Ashes subforum for 2010/11, but we had a "road to" thread in about 2007/08 for the 2009 one, so 8 months before the start certainly isn't too early.
I guess the big question is how badly is England's side going to be disrupted by injuries this time? Last time England had a relatively uninterrupted tour of Australia was 1986/87, when Australia instead were disrupted by Rebel-tour bans. So it has to be regarded as unlikely that England won't suffer, but if they do, it's surprisingly easy to make a confident-ish prediction of what nine of out eleven names will be: Strauss (C) Cook Trott Pietersen Collingwood Bell Prior (W) - I'm daring to believe there, but I'm still not absolutely confident yet Swann ? Anderson ? The most interesting thing is that England, essentially, have a single proper Test series between now and The Ashes, and that against the Pakistanis who might well resemble a rabble due to their catching ineptitude and infighting. There isn't much scope for players to lose form. It has to be regarded as likely, too, that Broad and Onions will fill the last two slots, as they have in Broad's case and should have in Onions' case for the last home and away season (Onions has missed 3 Tests, all of which he had a strong case to play, and Broad has played the last 15 in a row). Australia, too, have just 4 Tests remaining, 2 of which come in England and also against Pakistan (again). Both sides will have seen rather too much of Pakistan recently when they come to Ashes action. Let's hope the catching doesn't rub-off.

Broad is nailed-on for me, Trott not so much

Reckon Trott's had a decent-ish start to his Test career, and can only see him having pretty good figures in the Pakistan Tests TBH, given how many catches they're likely to drop.
Broad is certainly very likely, but if he should return really poor figures against Pakistan it's just an outside bet he'll be dropped mid-series. Even though he's been miles better since the start of 2009 than he was before, his Test bowling average in that time is still just 30.37, and that flatters him a little. In truth, he's bowled that one sensational spell in the first-innings of the Fifth Test of the previous Ashes, a handful of decent-ish ones besides, and been ineffective, still, plenty. The fact that he remains something of a golden-child counts in his favour in selection if not effectiveness. Onions is of course less so, but he unquestionably should start against the Pakistanis if he comes close to repeating his last 2009's figures early in 2010, and it's then up to him to take it from there. If he plays against the Pakistanis and is ineffective, someone else has to be given a shot. |

I like Trott, and like you expect him to do well this summer - but if he doesn't then I think his place will be under threat. He never exactly set the world on fire in South Africa. |

Don't think he bowled dreadfully in the 4th Test. Was England's best bowler in the innings at Headingley, picking up key wickets and a decent haul. He didn't bowl as well as he did in that spell at Lords, but he certainly wasn't dreadful. Do agree with the analysis of the rest of his series though, was surprised he kept his place after his performances in the first 3 Tests.

I think Trott has shows his capability when he first joined the scene last summer, getting a good start . But not he has stumbled a little bit but really it's early days and anything can happen.I think you can trust him and his figures show it:
Trott and his consistency has been impeckable and he pretty much saved England in the Ashes a couple of times. This is his career so far with a flying start but then stumbling against SAfricans: Batting record And as for Stuart Broad, I think he has established himself as a medium pace bowler-mabe fast medium. The last few months his bowling has been really good and against Pak yesterday he proved it. He needs to learn to pitch it a bit fuller but I think he hasn' done badly, I mean, he is improving. He also struggles desperately on flat wickets but when it comes to a nice greener wicket then he really can put on pressure with his height and bounce. Stuart Broad Bowling analysis With his batting though, he isn't really sparking with me, stubborn and just hangs around and really doesnt know what he's doing, which compliments his 26 and 14 average, but he is only 24 and can still improve so I would keep him in the team because he ripped OZ apart in the last test and he can do it again if he wants, methinks. Lets see anyways...

As excited as I am about the prospect of flying halfway round the world for this one, let's worry about the three series we have beforehand first.

Woman Flees Accident Scene To Chill Her Ice Cream
By editor
An Arkansas woman high-tailed it home after she rear-ended another car. It didn't take long for police to find her, and when they did, they slapped her with a citation for following too closely and leaving the scene of an accident. Her excuse: She didn't think there was enough damage to call police, and her ice cream was melting.

The official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is still under way says the man apparently had two guns.
A dispatcher at the Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps says a teacher has been shot in the foot and taken to Danbury Hospital, but it's unclear whether there are other injuries.
Ambulance surrounded Sandy Hook Elementary School in western Connecticut and parents were running toward the building as a helicopter flew overhead.
The superintendent's office says the district has locked down schools.
State police say Newtown police called them at about 9:40 a.m. about the shooting reports.
Associated Press writer Michael Melia contributed to this report from Hartford.
