Last season, the Bishop Hendricken baseball team watched its bid for a fourth consecutive state championship fall short with an upset loss to Middletown in the regional finals. The Hawks tipped their caps that day, and with more than a dozen players set to return, they started looking ahead.
This season is what they had their eye on.
"We had a real good season last year," said Hendricken head coach Ed Holloway. "We just fell short against a good Middletown team. I give them credit. They out-played us when they had to. We're back and we'll give it our best shot this year."
That best shot should be a pretty good one.
The Hawks lost six players to graduation, including standout hitters Ethan Ferreira and Zach Conte, but last year's team was built around its juniors. That class burst onto the scene in the 2010 championship season, with several players doing big things as sophomores.
They're now seniors, and five have already committed to play college baseball, four at the Division I level. Before they take that next step, though, they'd like to leave Hendricken on top.
"I think they're focused," Holloway said. "They want to give it their best shot to have a chance to go out with a great season. They seem focused and ready to start playing."
Pitching shapes up as Hendricken's biggest strength this season. Senior Bobby Indeglia, a right-hander who has committed to Holy Cross, has been the ace of the Hawks' staff since his sophomore year and should pick up where he left off at the top of the rotation. Fellow senior Tom Pannone, who is also one of the team's top hitters and has committed to the University of Miami as an outfielder, will be a key part of the rotation as well.
Senior Nick Bourdeau – another pitcher who has seen innings since his sophomore year – will also be a key piece to the puzzle, and junior Mike King, who pitched well as a sophomore and had a strong summer in American Legion ball, is ready for bigger things this year.
The Hawks will try to develop their depth, as well. Seniors Justin Finan, Jerre Dean and C.J. Maderios are in line to get some innings, along with juniors Bobby Lineberger and Jake Newberry.
"If they're all healthy, we should be very strong on the mound," Holloway said. "And they're experienced. The first three guys have been here since their sophomore year pitching varsity. Mike King had some good moments as a sophomore and had a very good summer for the legion team. I think he's one of the top juniors in the state."
Success on the mound won't just come from the arms, either. Holloway thinks the Hawks will have a very strong defense, especially with three starters returning on the infield.
"I think our strength will be our pitching and defense," Holloway said.
At the plate, the Hawks will try to shake off some of the struggles they had last year. They scored their share of runs but didn't always come through with the big hits when they needed them.
A veteran lineup is ready to deliver this season.
Behind the plate, the Hawks have senior Billy Walker returning for his fourth year as a starter. A Wake Forest signee, Walker will likely anchor the middle of the order for the Hawks.
Senior Mike Thomas and junior Jarek Krajewski are also in the mix for time at catcher.
Senior P.J. Murray, who has committed to Brandeis, returns as a starter at first base. He'll be pushed by Krajewski and Maderios.
Up the middle, the Hawks have three players with experience, and all of them can play multiple positions. Senior Rich Bacon, who's headed to Albany, was the starting shortstop last year. Senior Reed Gamache, who has signed with Binghamton, was the starting second baseman.
Those two are joined by junior Lou Umberto, who had a strong summer in legion ball. All three can also play third base.
"Those three will all see playing time," Holloway said. "We have a lot of versatility there."
At third base, the Hawks will have to replace Ferreira, who's now at Harvard. Three players are in the mix to step up – Finan and juniors Ed Markowski and Matt Murphy. Markowski and Murphy can also play second base.
In the outfield, Pannone will likely start in center, with Indeglia in right field when he's not pitching. King will also play in the outfield when he's not pitching. Senior Pat Brindamour and juniors Rob Henry and Gary Geisser are competing for time as well.
In all, the Hawks like the way their lineup shakes out.
"I think we're going to score some runs," Holloway said. "I think that's where we fell short last year. We're going to try and improve on that and be better this year."
Based on how last season ended, being better this year is a pretty good overall goal, as well. And it's one the Hawks are ready to chase.
"We have 14 guys back from last year's team, so we have a lot of experience," Holloway said. "We're hoping and expecting a good season. Luck's involved too. You've got to be lucky. I think we've got a good team. We've got high hopes."
Hendricken opens the season on Monday at East Providence.

The East Central University women's basketball team honored three seniors after their last game of the 2012-13 season at the Kerr Activities Center. The Lady Tigers (17-7, 12-6 GAC) fell to Southern Nazarene, 72-81, before honoring seniors Regan Browne, Lindsay McCown and Kodi Morrison.
Junior Ashley Robison led ECU with 16 points and nine rebounds, while sophomore Dilan Webster added 12 points and seniors Regan Browne and Lindsay McCown contributed 11 and 10, respectively. Junior Alycea Price led the team on the boards, garnering 12.
After a close first three minutes, the Lady Tigers went on a 12-0 run over the next three minutes to take a 17-5 advantage. ECU kept pushing and had the lead out to nine (19-10), with just over 11 minutes to play. The Crimson Strom (15-9, 12-6 GAC) had gotten within six over the next minute, but turned the momentum in their favor over the next four minutes with a 13-0 run that gave them a 21-28 lead.
The Lady Tigers battled back to within one (29-30), with 1:42 left, but SNU finished the half with a 5-0 run to take a 29-35 lead into the intermission.
ECU came out ready to fight in the second half, going on an 11-1 run over the first four minutes before allowing the Crimson Storm to score their first field goal and take a 40-36 lead. However, SNU used a 7-0 run to regain a 40-43 advantage over the next minute.
The rest of the half was a game of runs, with the Crimson Storm starting off with another 9-0 run that gave them control of the scoreboard. The Lady Tigers used several runs overs the final minutes of the game, but were never able to get closer than one point the rest of the way and fell 72-81.
Both teams shot below 40 percent for the game, with the biggest difference coming at the charity stripe. The Crimson Storm were 20-of-28 from the line (71.4%) and only allowed the Lady Tigers to get to the line 14 times (13 makes).
ECU will have the weekend off before playing their final two games of the regular seas
on on the road. The first stop will be a battle with arch rival Southeastern Oklahoma State, Thursday, Feb. 28 at 5:30 p.m. in Weatherford, Okla.

Specifically, champion Cain Velasquez is scheduled to defend his title against Junior dos Santos at the show, while Roy Nelson-Daniel Cormier and Shawn Jordan-Gabriel Gonzaga will also take to the Octagon in hopes of entertaining fans and exiting the effort victorious. With the event less than a week away, longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan recently gave his thoughts on the best knockouts in the company's history and not surprisingly most of the aforementioned heavyweights made the cut based on past performances including one holding the list's top spot.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl combine cornstarch, salt, pepper, and cayenne. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy. In another bowl, place the coconut. Coat the shrimp with the cornstarch and shake off any excess. Dip into the egg white and then press into the coconut to get full coverage. Try to keep 1 hand dry, this will keep things a little cleaner.
In a large pan, heat the oil to 350 degrees F and gently submerge the shrimp, 6 at a time. Fry for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove them to a rack to drain. Serve with Peanut Sauce.
In a food processor, puree the chicken stock, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, hot sauce, chopped garlic, and ginger. Add the peanut butter and pulse to combine. Fold in the cilantro and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Bring sauce to room temperature and serve with coconut shrimp.

Choosing your Electric Guitar A Buyers Guide
Here is a quick guide we have put together to help you choose your style of electric guitar.
Choose your Body Style…
The Gibson Les Paul shape is among the most recognised solid-body electric guitar designs. It was developed in the early 1950s and has become one of the most enduring and popular musical instrument models in the world. Its design has been left virtually untouched for nearly 50 years. View the best Les Paul-style guitars we have in stock!
In mid 1960, the Gibson Guitar Corporation felt that the Les Paul signature model, introduced in 1952, had run its course, and decided to change the design. This new design, with a slim double-cutaway body featuring prominent scarfing around the edges and cutaways, was officially issued in the 1961 model year as a Les Paul signature model. The main idea was to compete with the double cutaway Fender Stratocaster, which gave players easy access to the higher frets. View the best SG-style guitars we have in stock!
The Stratocaster, often called the 'Strat', is a model of electric guitar designed by Leo Fender in the early 1950s. Much of the popularity of the Stratocaster can be attributed to its versatility. The neck, middle, and bridge (in the original manual, labelled "rhythm", "normal tone", and "lead", respectively) pickups provide a wide range of tones. The standard single-coil pickups often found in Stratocasters produce a trebly sound with a high top end and bell-like harmonics.
The Fender Telecaster (aka 'Tele') is a dual-pickup, solid-body electric guitar made by Fender. Its simple, yet effective design and revolutionary sound broke ground and set trends in the fields of electric guitar manufacture and popular music.
Choose your Pick Ups…
The Single Coil Pick Up
A single coil is a type of pickup for the electric guitar. As its name indicates, it is composed of copper wire wrapped in a single coil around a single bar magnet or several rod magnets. Single-coil pickups are most commonly associated with Fender guitars.
A humbucker is a type of electric guitar pickup that uses two coils. Humbuckers have increased output, and because the two coils are of reversed polarity and reverse-wound, noise and interference is essentially 'canceled out'. Great for full-on rock'n'roll! Les Paul-style guitars traditionally have humbuckers.
Choose your Bridge System…
Stock Tremolo
A tremolo arm, tremolo bar, vibrato bar or whammy bar is a lever attached to the bridge and/or the tailpiece of an electric guitar or archtop guitar to enable the player to quickly vary the tension and sometimes the length of the strings temporarily, changing the pitch to create a vibrato, portamento or pitch bend effect.
Double Locking
The Floyd Rose Double Locking system consists of:
- a lock at nut of the guitar, which prevents the tuning ("machine") heads from being used and holds the strings taut,
- a "floating bridge", where the other ends of the strings are also vise-locked (hence, "double-locking").
The locking system helps to keep the strings in tune while the strings are slackened to a degree which wasn't possible with older tremolo systems, such as those found on Fender Stratocaster, allowing "dive bombs" (i.e. rapid lowering of the pitch of a note). Since the tuning heads are ineffectual with the lock in place, the Floyd Rose bridge has heads for fine tuning; the guitar is tuned before the lock is put on, then fine tuned afterwards.
Hard Tail
Instruments without a Stock tremolo or Double locking bridge system are called hard-tail. The classic example are the Les Paul-style guitars and the ES-335-style Semi-Acoustic guitars.
Choose your fret board…
From maple to Rosewood there is no one "best" wood. The choice you make should be based upon your application and personal taste or preference.
Chose your neck joint…
This is the point at which the neck is either bolted or glued to the body of the guitar.
Bolt on Neck
This method is used frequently on solid body electric guitars and is considered the easiest neck joint method. Body and neck cross in horizontal plane and are joined using 4 (rarely 6) screws. As screws damage the wood and could put extra stress on it, typically a rectangular metal plate or a pair of metal plates are used to secure the joint and re-distribute the screw pressure evenly. Fender guitars have this type of neck.
Glue in Necks
Set-in neck is a method of guitar (or similar stringed instrument) construction that involves joining guitar neck and body, pressing it tightly together using some sort of adhesive. This yields better connection of neck and body and makes sound waves. Gibson leads the trend for set-in necks with Gibson Les Paul series, opposing Fender that build guitars traditionally with bolt-on necks. The Vintage V100 Les Paul style guitars have all glue in necks, unlike cheaper, lower quality Les Paul copies.
Through Necks
These are designed so that everything from the machine heads down to the bridge are located on the same piece of wood. The sides (also known as wings) of the guitar are then glued to this central piece. Some luthiers prefer this method of construction as it is said to allow better sustain of each note. Some very high-end instruments may not have a neck joint at all, having the neck and sides built as one piece and the body built around it.
Now that you know where to start, check Electric Guitars at PMT and find your perfect electric guitar!

TB, or tuberculosis, is a disease caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria can attack any part of your body, but they usually attack the lungs.
Symptoms of TB depend on where in the body the TB bacteria are growing. TB bacteria usually grow in the lungs. TB in the lungs may cause:
The bacteria are put into the air when a person with TB disease of the lungs coughs or sneezes. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected. People with TB disease are most likely to spread it to people they spend time with every day. This includes family members, friends, and coworkers.
In most people who breathe in TB bacteria and become infected, the body is able to fight the bacteria to stop them from growing. The bacteria become inactive, but they remain alive in the body and can become active later. This is called latent TB infection. People with latent TB infection:
Ninety-five percent of people who have latent TB infection never develop TB disease. In these people, the TB bacteria remain inactive for a lifetime without causing disease. Other people may get sick later, when their immune system becomes weak for some reason, especially people with any of these conditions:
A TB skin test is the only way to find out if you have latent TB infection. If you have a positive reaction to the skin test, other tests will be done to see if you have TB disease. These tests usually include a chest x-ray.
If you have a negative reaction to the skin test, you may need a second skin test 10 to 12 weeks after the last time you spent time with the infectious person. This is because it can take several weeks after infection for your immune system to be able to react to the TB skin test. If your reaction to the second test is negative, it is very unlikely that you have latent TB infection.
Difference Between Latent TB Infection and TB Disease
Latent TB Infection
TB Disease
|Have no symptoms:
|Symptoms include:
|Do not feel sick
|Cannot spread TB to others
|Usually have a positive skin test
|Chest x-ray and sputum test normal
|May spread TB to others
|Usually have a positive skin test
|May have abnormal chest x-ray, and/or positive sputum smear or culture

Results' Agenda and Economists
In the book, The Idea of Justice, Amartya Sen motivates the discussion on the importance of processes and responsibilities by relying on an example. In the Gita (part of the Mahabharata), on the eve of the crucial battle episode in the epic, Arjuna expresses his doubts about leading the fight which will result in so much killing. Lord Krishna, tells him that he, Arjuna, must perform his duty, that is, to fight. And to fight, irrespective of the consequences.
Krishna's blessing of the demands of duty is meant to win the argument from a religious perspective. But most of us would share Arjuna's concerns about the fact that, if the war were to occur, with him leading the charge on the side of justice and propriety, many people would get killed. He himself would be doing a lot of the killing, often of people for whom he had affection.

Aruba Travel Guide
Aruba Summary
- Sunny, 82 degrees Fahrenheit weather year-round
- Negligible rainfall, and it's outside the Caribbean's hurricane belt
- Long, winding public white-sand beaches
- Modest casinos in practically every resort
- Clean, modern capital of Oranjestad
- Shopping malls with high-end retailers like Louis Vuitton and Armani
- Two golf courses: the world-class Tierra del Sol 18-hole course and the 9-hole Links course
- Tasty (if expensive) international cuisine
- English is widely spoken and easily understood by locals
- Very low crime rate makes it one of the safest islands in the Caribbean
- All hotels within 30 minutes of the Aruba International Airport
- Pets allowed from U.S., Europe, and Asia with rabies and health certificates
- Unlike Jamaica, Aruba is a gay-friendly island
- Lots of tourists and large, family-oriented hotels -- not the place for a remote, isolated getaway
- Eagle Beach is sometimes thin and rocky
- Smaller, less impressive casinos than in Las Vegas
- Imported food rivals New York City prices -- more expensive than the rest of the Caribbean
- No luxury boutique hotels
- No pets allowed from Central and South America
What It's Like
Located outside the Caribbean's hurricane belt, the flat desert island of Aruba remains a rain-free 82 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year -- barring a few drizzly days that keep the island's stunted trees and cacti alive. This former Dutch colony is only 21 miles from end to end, and pulls a large collection of international travelers. But with more than 75 percent of its 1.5 million yearly visitors hailing from the United States, it's pretty Americanized. English is spoken widely, U.S. dollars are generally accepted, and major American hotel chains abound.
Aruba's one of the wealthiest islands in the Caribbean, and its capital, Oranjestad, has gleaming shopping malls that house high-end retailers like Louis Vuitton and Armani. Restaurants like Matilde and Casa Tua rival the best cuisine in the Caribbean. But all food is imported, so the markup puts restaurants at New York City prices.
Virtually every resort comes with its own casino -- usually larger and vastly more equipped than the few hotel casinos in the Dominican Republic. Still, they're a far cry from the truly extravagant casinos in Las Vegas or even Atlantic City. Casinos here are much smaller, humbler enterprises.
Where to Stay
Aruba's an island of capable, functional, and solidly middle-of-the-road hotels. There are no sketchy dives but no designer boutiques either. What most affects your experience is the location.
In downtown Oranjestad, hotels like the Renaissance are close to shopping and restaurants but don't have a beach. (The Renaissance makes up for this with a complimentary ferry to a private island.)
Most resorts are clustered by Palm Beach and Eagle Beach, which is a 15- to 20-minute drive from Oranjestad. Both are public beaches, but Palm Beach is the widest. Reliable chains like the Westin, Marriott, and Radisson line the shore while guests stroll from one resort to the next, stopping by the multiple water-sports vendors posted every few yards. Resorts here are also within walking distance of the Paseo Herencia Mall -- also known as the "High-Rise" complex -- and the highway is lined with a support system of bars and restaurants from Hooters to classier joints like Gianni's.
Relatively secluded time-share hotels and significantly cheaper all-inclusive resorts like the Costa Linda can be found at Eagle Beach, just south of Palm Beach. The beach here varies significantly, as broad stretches bottleneck down to narrow, rocky shores. But it's relatively empty, which makes it the perfect place for a quiet vacation. Again, these resorts are not more than 20 minutes from the capital, but they lack Palm Beach's nearby dining, so you'll have to settle for your hotel's grub. On the plus side, they're not far from the shallow, crystal-clear coves at Baby Beach, reputedly the best place to snorkel in Aruba.
Aruba Hotel Guides
Best Value Hotels in Aruba
Aruba is a small island with mostly mid-range hotels, and there are a few great values to be had for under $200/night.
Kid-Friendly Hotels in Aruba
Many hotels in Aruba are near the island's soft, white-sand beaches, but not all of them have great family-friendly features like kids clubs, children's pools, and waterslides.
Most Romantic Hotels in Aruba
Aruba isn't a great destination for luxurious pampering, and most of the resorts gear their services toward families. But couples coming for a romantic getaway will still find plenty to appreciate, from the gorgeous white-sand beaches to airy, comfortable rooms.

Now the results for this aren't quite ready for primetime (and I will blog on them when they are), but this got me thinking about "out of silo" impacts. These are significant impacts on domains which aren't within the realm of the traditional use of the program. Other examples of this include Erica Field's work on land titling in Peru which shows impacts far larger than your average family planning program on fertility and Eliana La Ferrara and co-authors' work on soap operas which also shows fertility impacts.
It strikes me that these kind of results, which can be quite sizable, are doomed to low to no adoption on a larger scale. And the reason is a political economy one that stems from how government ministries and the international aid architecture are organized (the silo problem). As an example, take the transfer program I talked about above. The goal is social protection – to help people weather the bad times, get the kids off to a decent start, etc. So it is run by a social protection ministry and likely funded in part by departments of donor agencies concerned with social protection. Now when the president of this country asks the minister of industry how to boost small and medium enterprises, what does the minister say? He sure as heck doesn't say cash transfers because he knows that his ministry will not run the program. And his counterparts in donor agencies will do the same. The minister of social protection might pipe up (or might not) but she won't be wholly credible, not least of which because she is stepping on her colleague's turf.
This suggests we need more generalists in decision-making roles when it comes to defining a policy response to a particular problem. These need to be folks who know when to use a wrench and when to use a hammer. And they have to have enough power to overrule the specialists within ministries or departments. This is not to say we don't need specialists, but we do need generalists who can think outside of the silo.
A couple of other points on this. First, those specialists can and do learn. One interesting example of this is on family planning policy. If you read some of the more recent reviews (i.e. within the last decade) of reproductive health programs for example, you will see that they recognize the need for a combination of access to reproductive health care (the main focus of the older school view) but also education programs and economic opportunities.
Second, on the part of the team carrying out the evaluation, these out of silo results require one of two things: fishing or a deep and constantly updating knowledge of what is going on with the program. Since these are often unintended consequences, the only way the evaluators will find these effects is by running a lot of regressions or following closely how beneficiaries are reacting to a program. And the latter will require a fair amount of out of the box conversations with beneficiaries that aren't going to be picked up if the survey is bound by a strict definition of what the program is supposed to do. Now this obviously creates a tension with trial registries. But this which may be partially allayed if you can register closer to the endline than the baseline (see David's post from Tuesday).
Third, when we do find these results, we need to do a careful job of understanding the causal chain. Since the connection wasn't obvious when the program was designed, this is going to require in-depth quantitative and qualitative work. But getting at the mechanisms driving these unexpected may not only make a clearer case for the out of silo intervention, but help make the within-silo interventions work better.
Look, we know in medicine that sometimes even drugs work better for something else. Heck, Viagra started life as a heart medicine. The same is true in development policy, we just need to keep our eyes out for those out of silo results, not be afraid to explore them, and then figure out a policy structure that lets us use them.
Hi Markus,
Hi Markus,
Doesn't this conflict with the push for pre-analysis plans? Or are you arguing that our pre-analysis plans should be designed to account for unexpected out-of-silo results (seems a stretch)? What happens when we find that an intervention has a massive impact on something we didn't expect, but everyone discounts the result heavily because, well, we didn't plan for it?
Whoops - missed your brief
Whoops - missed your brief note on trial registries, which makes sense.
Matt, your point is still
Your article made me think of the famous deworming study in Kenya which seemed to have educational benefits which would be hard to achieve as effectively with any investment in the education sector (some of which have proven to have little or no impact at all!).
It should be possible for Presidents, Ministries of Planning and Finance, and international donors - particularly the World Bank - to ensure that such research findings are reflected in appropriate resource allocation and investment decisions.
Would it be possible to track your thesis in terms of whether studies on impacts "within the silo" are having more impact on resource allocations than impact studies "outside the silo"? Might take a lot of effort to do that rigorously.

* Can You See What I See? Toyland Express! Book Review and Giveaway
The girls and I love our collection of Walter Wick "I Spy"
and "Can You See What I See?" books.
"E" frequently reads her I Spy books as a way to wind down at bedtime.
We were thrilled when our friends at Scholastic books and Walter Wick's office contacted
us to review his latest and greatest book,
"Can You See What I See? Toyland Express!"
In Mr. Wick's eigth title in his bestselling search and find series,
we follow the life story of a little toy train from it's beginning in a workshop,
as a gift from a toy store, to a beloved toy and finally to the attic,
only to be rescued at a yard sale and brought to life again in a new home.
There are over 250 hidden objects to find as the train transforms along it's journey.
"E" has always wondered how Mr. Wick makes his book
and really enjoyed watching this behind the scenes video.
You may recall that we've tried to make our own "I Spy" books and photo shoots.
"E" (age 8) and "C" (age 4) really enjoyed this book and some of the
hidden objects really challenged them (as well as their parents)!
"E"s Grandpa D came over for Christmas and enjoyed the challenge of
searching and finding the hidden objects in the book as well.
So much so, that the girls are making him his own,
homemade "I Spy" search and find book for his birthday this weekend.
(Shh... don't tell, it's a surprise!)
and...I have a surprise for you, my lovely readers, as well!
Two (2) of my (continental US) readers from my blog will receive:
* Copy of "Can You See What I See? Toyland Express!"
* 5 Additional book titles from the "Can You See What I See?" series.
Look carefully, my "comments" section is tiny
(and I don't know how to make it bigger)
just think of it as a little Pink and Green Mama blog search and find!
This giveaway is now closed. Winners will be contacted via email.
pink and green mama
All opinions expressed are my own, my family and I received a copy of
Walter Wick's book, "Toyland Express" to write this review.
We did not receive any additional financial compensation.

I know the news of Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds and model and Transformer's actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley fronting Marks and Spencer's latest ad campaign isn't breaking news, but the new Autograph collection that they are fronting went live yesterday, and I just had to share.
First up, we have to discuss what a weird but actually brilliant choice it is using Ryan and Rosie; random as this is hardly the age range or glamour reputation you picture with M&S, but so right because they look amazing together and actually make a great couple. If you knew how much I loved Ryan Reynolds you would know how hard it was for me to write that as come on Rosie is one of the sexiest women on the planet *love her pout*.
But we have to remember they are fronting the Autograph collection, this is more premium and I do think younger in its audience, come on who hasn't bought some pieces from this collection?? I think this campaign is a clear statement that yes even M&S is fashionable. I am loving what Rosie is wearing and I have my eye on that bowling bag!!
The new Marks and Spencer Autograph collection is available in stores and online now, will you be shopping the new collection?
M&S always do put a lot into their ad campaigns, and if they have such big hitters for the autumn/winter – Christmas is going to be huge. As well as R&R, the high street retailer has also signed up the gorgeous David Gandy as the new face of their Collezione autumn collection, I do love a man on a scooter!!
What do you think of the latest campaign?

Garage Lifted 1994 Toyota Land CruiserPosted in How To: Suspension Brakes on March 14, 2014
The '94 Toyota Land Cruiser we built for our Cheap Truck Challenge ("Low-Buck Land Cruiser," Oct. '13) was stock long enough. The truck really lacked good tires and locking differentials, and like any project one thing leads to another. We started with a lift to clear bigger tires, and while the truck was torn apart we built a new rear axle, added gears and lockers, and fancied up our stock rims with new color and rubber. Overboard? Definitely. Ready to wheel? Almost definitely.
The Cruiser, which we call Peter the Beater, was pretty ugly but did have a winch up front and some upgraded Nitro front axleshafts. We wanted more aggressive tires and thought 33s would be fine and optioned an Old Man Emu suspension to clear that size. But before we rounded up the 33s we came across some gnarly 35s from Maxxis that our 21⁄2- to 3-inch lift would clear just fine, so the next thing we knew we were cruising just a tad farther up from the "land." Of course, not everything turned out perfect, but we learned a lot and hope you don't stumble in the same pitfalls we encountered.
"Our initial test drive wasn't perfect"
Final Results: Avalanche Redo
Peter the Beater is still a beater, but now it should be a bit more capable. However, our initial test drive wasn't perfect. We somehow managed to spring a leak in both Air Lockers during installation, and now when we turn them on it pumps air out the axle vents. The fix should be easy but will require pulling both diffs back out. Lesson learned: Test the lockers before you silicone everything shut.
We also noticed a slight vibration and squirrely feel from the new tires, but we believe this is due to too high a tire pressure. Again, more fine tuning on the pros and cons of bias-ply tires is required, so check back on that.
As far as the suspension is concerned, we gained 21⁄2 inches under the differentials and about 31⁄2 inches of front suspension lift and 3 in back. However, the driver side of the truck is about 1⁄2 to 1 inch lower than the passenger side. We expect the springs to settle over time, but we need to swap the springs from side to side to see if it levels out the truck. We didn't see any markings for left or right, nor were there any instructions with the coils, but we have since learned from Slee Offroad (the 80 Series Land Cruiser experts) that there are taller and shorter coils and the tall coils go on the driver side.
Oh, and that rear bumper? Yeah, that isn't done yet either, though we do have two bare framerails sticking out the back.
We like working on the truck, but when we realized how much we screwed up and how we'll need another long weekend to fix it all, we think about getting a different hobby, like inner-tubing down a river with a cooler and a bunch of lady friends in bikinis. But who wants to read about that?

Minnesota Records First Measles Case This Year
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota has recorded its first case of measles this year.
State health officials confirmed the measles in a 19-month-old Hennepin County child.
Health agencies have notified area families and are offering immune globulin with antibodies against the measles virus to anyone who might have been exposed.
Minnesota Department of Health's infectious disease director Kris Ehresmann says any cases to result from the local child are likely to emerge between now and May 12.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported 129 cases and 13 outbreaks in the nation for the first four months of 2014, the highest in that period for the past 18 years.
Measles, which has nearly been eliminated in the U.S., produces a red rash, along with cold-like symptoms.

How to Write a Book in Three Days: Lessons from Michael Moorcock
This article is the first part of a series about one of my favorite writers, Michael Moorcock, which will culminate in an interview with the man himself.
In the early days of Michael Moorcock's 50-plus-years career, when he was living paycheck-to-paycheck, he wrote a whole slew of action-adventure sword-and-sorcery novels very, very quickly, including his most famous books about the tortured anti-hero Elric. In 1992, he published a collection of interviews conducted by Colin Greenland called Michael Moorcock: Death is No Obstacle, in which he discusses his writing method. In the first chapter, "Six Days to Save the World", he says those early novels were written in about "three to ten days" each, and outlines exactly how one accomplishes such fast writing.
This is not the best way to write every novel, or even most novels. Moorcock used it specifically to write sword-and-sorcery action-adventure, but I think it could be applied more-or-less to any kind of potboiler. Once Moorcock himself had perfected this method, he became bored with it and moved on, restlessly playing with one genre and style after another, and turning in some of his best work, including the literary fiction Mother London (shortlisted for the Whitbread Prize) and the quasi-historical romance Gloriana. (Which took him six whole weeks to write!) The rest of Death is No Obstacle is about writing in these other forms.
So all of the quotes below are from just the first chapter of the book. I cannot recommend enough for fiction writers to hunt themselves down a copy (it's sadly out of print) and studying it, especially if you want to understand the purpose of form and structure in fiction. If you want to think of this post as a naked advertisement for this brilliant book, I'm okay with that.
To be clear: This is not my advice. This is Michael Moorcock's advice. I have never written a book in three days. I am planning on making the attempt, however, on the weekend of September 18th, which is Jewish New Years (Rosh Hashanah), and the next time in my calendar when I'll have three days straight with nothing else to do. Digesting this material is part of my preparation.
How to Write a Book in Three Days
- "If you're going to do a piece of work in three days, you have to have everything properly prepared."
- "[The formula is] The Maltese Falcon. Or the Holy Grail. You use the quest theme, basically. In The Maltese Falcon it's a lot of people after the same thing, which is the Black Bird. In Mort D'Arthur it's also a lot of people after the same thing, which is the Holy Grail. That's the formula for Westerns too: everybody's after the gold of El Dorado or whatever." (Cf the MacGuffin.)
- "The formula depends on that sense of a human being up against superhuman forces, whether it's Big Business, or politics, or supernatural Evil, or whatever. The hero is fallible in their terms, and doesn't really want to be mixed up with them. He's always just about to walk out when something else comes along that involves him on a personal level." (An example of this is when Elric's wife gets kidnapped.)
- "There is an event every four pages, for example -- and notes. Lists of things you're going to use. Lists of coherent images; coherent to you or generically coherent. You think: 'Right, Stormbringer [a novel in the Elric series]: swords; shields; horns", and so on."
- "[I prepared] A complete structure. Not a plot, exactly, but a structure where the demands were clear. I knew what narrative problems I had to solve at every point. I then wrote them at white heat; and a lot of it was inspiration: the image I needed would come immediately [when] I needed it. Really, it's just looking around the room, looking at ordinary objects and turning them into what you need. A mirror: a mirror that absorbs the souls of the damned."
- "You need a list of images that are purely fantastic: deliberate paradoxes, say: the City of Screaming Statues, things like that. You just write a list of them so you've got them there when you need them. Again, they have to cohere, have the right resonances, one with the other."
- "The imagery comes before the action, because the action's actually unimportant. An object to be obtained -- limited time to obtain it. It's easily developed, once you work the structure out."
- "Time is the important element in any action adventure story. In fact, you get the action and adventure out of the element of time. It's a classic formula: "We've only got six days to save the world!" Immediately you've set the reader up with a structure: there are only six days, then five, then four and finally, in the classic formula anyway, there's only 26 seconds to save the world! Will they make it in time?"
- "Once you've started, you keep it rolling. You can't afford to have anything stop it."
- "The whole reason you plan everything beforehand is so that when you hit a snag, a desperate moment, you've actually got something there on your desk that tells you what to do."
- "I was also planting mysteries that I hadn't explained to myself. The point is, you put in the mystery, it doesn't matter what it is. It may not be the great truth that you're going to reveal at the end of the book. You just think, I'll put this in here because I might need it later."
- "You start off with a mystery. Every time you reveal a bit of it, you have to do something else to increase it. A good detective story will have the same thing. "My God, so that's why Lady Carruthers's butler Jenkins was peering at the keyhole that evening. But where was Mrs. Jenkins?"
"What I do is divide my total 60,000 words into four sections, 15,000 words apiece, say; then divide each into six chapters. ... In section one the hero will say, "There's no way I can save the world in six days unless I start by getting the first object of power". That gives you an immediate goal, and an immediate time element, as well as an overriding time element. With each section divided into six chapters, each chapter must then contain something which will move the action forward and contribute to that immediate goal.
"Very often it's something like: attack of the bandits -- defeat of the bandits -- nothing particularly complex, but it's another way you can achieve recognition: by making the structure of a chapter a miniature of the overall structure of the book, so everything feels coherent. The more you're dealing with incoherence, with chaos, the more you need to underpin everything with simple logic and basic forms that will keep everything tight. Otherwise the thing just starts to spread out into muddle and abstraction.
"So you don't have any encounter without information coming out of it. In the simplest form, Elric has a fight and kills somebody, but as they die they tell him who kidnapped his wife. Again, it's a question of economy. Everything has to have a narrative function."
- [On "The Lester Dent Master Plot Formula"]1 "First, he says, split your six-thousand-word story up into four fifteen hundred word parts. Part one, hit your hero with a heap of trouble. Part two, double it. Part three, put him in so much trouble there's no way he could ever possibly get out of it. Then -- now this could be Lester Dent or it could be what I learnt when I was on Sexton Blake Library, I forget -- you must never have a revelation of something that wasn't already established; so, you couldn't unmask a murderer who wasn't a character established already. All your main characters have to be in the first third. All you main themes and everything else has to be established in the first third, devloped in the second third, and resolved in the last third." (Note: this last sentence is reminiscent of the classic three-act structure.) (Note 2: Lester Dent's Master Plot Formula is actually a bit more complex and specific than this. Here it is in its entirety.)
"There's always a sidekick to make the responses the hero isn't allowed to make: to get frightened; to add a lighter note; to offset the hero's morbid speeches, and so on.
The hero has to supply the narrative dynamic, and therefore can't have any common-sense. Any one of us in those circumstances would say, 'What? Dragons? Demons? You've got to be joking!' The hero has to be driven, and when people are driven, common sense disappears. You don't want your reader to make common sense objections, you want them to go with the drive; but you've got to have somebody around who'll act as a sort of chorus."
- "'When in doubt, descend into a minor character.' So when you've reached an impasse, and you can't move the action any further with your major character, switch to a minor character 's viewpoint which will allow you to keep the narrative moving and give you time to think."
One last note: later in the book, Moorcock talks about how he is also fond of using stock characters, especially those from the Commedia Dell'Arte.
More information about Michael Moorcock can be found at his official website Moorcock's Miscellany, which includes articles, blog, forums and a wiki.
1 Lester Dent was another extremely prolific author, known for churning out upwards of 200,000 words a month. He wrote in the heyday of the pulps in the early 20th century, and is best known for the adventures of Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze, who became a prototype for later superheroes like Superman and Batman. According to Moorcock he is also "credited by both Hammett and Chandler with being the first of the hardboiled detective writers". Back
That's an excellent read. The
That's an excellent read. The linked Lester Dent master plot was intriguing too. It would be a cool exercise to break down how these methods work in some Elric stories, or even some other sword and sorcery classics. I suppose that's what my own blog is for. :)
In Death is No Obstacle,
In Death is No Obstacle, Moorcock himself dissects a bunch of the elric stories. He keeps saying over and over again that it's all about structure. I'm not sure I agree with him that it's always the case. I don't think, for example, that Melville could have written Moby Dick in the way that Moorcock describes. It's a different sort of approach. But at the same time, I think if one is writing Sword and Sorcery, one should not be given to spend too much time on any one particular story.
If there is no structure then there is no story. Without structure there is only a collection of random events that do not correspond to each other and makes no logical sense of connectivity. Regardless of whether the writer realizes it or not, a successful novel possesses structure, however subconsciously developed or beneath the 'story' it may lay.
People who 'hate' plot or 'refuse' to use it are just plain annoying, because they think if they admit they use plot it somehow takes away from their creativity. Quit being so pompous and full of yourself as an 'artist' (not you specifically, btw, just a personal gripe of mine i felt like breathing out, lol). Writers' are not 'special' people. The only difference between a Writer and a Mechanic is a Writer writes and a Mechanic fixes cars. I wish people would get that what-a-writer-is-supposed-to-be movie bullsh*t out of their heads and just sit down and write your damn story already. Quit dreaming of being rich and famous and highly respected and all that nonsense crap, accept you are just an ordinary, average person just like everyone else on this planet, get over yourself, and realize being a successful Writer takes a lot of long, solitary hours hunched over a desk actually writing, and when you're done the only one who pats you on the back is yourself. If that isn't enough, then stop pretending you're a Writer because that's all there is to it.
i don't disagree completely,
i don't disagree completely, but whatever "structure" moby dick is supposed to have, I'd argue that it is haphazard at best.
Also, i've written extensively elsewhere about "Writer as Lifestyle Syndrome" which is my name for the disease you are describing in overestimating the social cachet of being a writer.
That list...
...probably took him as long to write as the books!
That was a fascinating look under the hood of a prolific writer. So interesting to see his process for coming up with these pulps so quickly. Even those who don't aspire to speed can find something valuable in his remarks.
Interesting to see his
Interesting to see his process. At first glance I thought of Jack Kerouac, since he was proud that he wrote The Subterraneans in three nights and On The Road in three weeks. Very different authors, though.
Lester Dent
The link to the Lester Dent Formula is a good one, but there is a serious typo that completely changes the formula. It's a 60,000 word formula broken down into 15,000 word sections, but in the transcription for the Michael Moorcock site in the link, it has been changed to a 6,000 formula broken down into 1,500 word sections. Which would make for a neat-o short story, but isn't what LD wrote.
It's not a typo. The Master
It's not a typo. The Master Plot is Dent's formula for writing a short story. He wrote great bunches of stories in addition to all those Doc Savage novels.
yup, NO typo
Just as said before, the Lester Dent formula is specifically for SHORT STORIES and those numbers are not a typo. Basically the Moorcock formula is just the Lester Dent formula only Moorcock added an extra 0 at the end of the numbers and moved the comma to the right one space, lol.
Lester Dent's 6,000 word Short Story total = Moorcock's 60,000 word Novel total
LD's 1,500 word sections (6,000 '/. 4) = M's 15,000 word sections (60,000 '/. 4)
LD's 250 word scenes (1,500 '/. 6) = M's 2,500 word chapters (15,000 '/. 6)
It's kind of obvious if you ask me ;-P
AND as I've stated in another comment, if you take the Events outlined in the book A Stranger Comes To Town by Adron J. Smitley and apply them to the above formula(s) one can EASILY write a full first draft in several days . . . if not an entire novel if one puts their nose to the grindstone. The nice thing is those Events explain to you exactly what needs to happen in such a way that keeps you writing while leaving you enough room for your original story. I say this because I've literally done as much a few times myself :-)
What seems 'obvious' to me is
What seems 'obvious' to me is that it IS a typo, albeit one that was included in the original article. Dent's Doc Savage novels conform almost exactly to the formula he presents here if you multiply the figures by ten; a 6,000 word story that followed this outline would be absurd.
Now I know
I guess now I know why I don't like his books. Just empty formula, no real depth emotion or meaning. Kind of like getting a meal at a fast food joint and expecting 'cuisine'.
You can tell the difference between something full of original ideas, and something like this that is just pounded out in a few days with random action hung on a 'framework'.
Well, try reading Moorcock's
Well, try reading Moorcock's books that were not written to this formula, such as the Colonel Pyat novels, or Jerry Cornelius, or Mother London.
I think you've misunderstood, my friend...
I think you've misunderstood by calling plotting a "formula" and viewing it in a negative way. ALL stories have plot, and just because someone points out, "The Hero should do this here, or the Villain should do that there." doesn't make it formulaic. You seem to think the "formula" is a telling to the writer of what EXACTLY to do, which it isn't. I'll give an example. Every good story has an "All IS Lost" moment where someone or something very precious to the Hero 'dies.' Is this a necessary step? Yup. But i think the problem you are having is taking that step quite literally. 'Dies' can be literal or metaphorical, and the 'someone or something very precious' can be a person, a highly prized item, or an ideal that dies inside of the Hero because of something horrible he's caused. That step could quite literally be the best friend of the Hero dying because the Hero still hasn't learned the moral lesson he needs to defeat the Villain, or maybe the Hero comes into possession of a magical artifact they rely heavily upon only to lose it by it being destroyed, then as they feel like giving up New Inspiration hits them and they realize they never truly needed to rely on that specific object of power in the first place.
A basic plot structure goes as follows:
1. Hero living in their ordinary world.
2. Something happens to Hero that has never happened before.
3. After a personal debate where they weigh their options, they decide to take action against their new problem.
4. Obviously, after their decision they need to prepare, so they gather what they think are necessary tools to help them on their journey to solve their problem, then they step into that new, unfamiliar world to begin solving their problem.
5. Along the way they'll meet an important secondary character that is experienced in the new world that helps teach them to learn and adapt their growing skills to achieve success in the new world as they hunt down clues and evidence to help get closer to their problem and thus, hopefully, solve it.
6. Complications arise because if the Hero never fails then it would be a boring story. Eventually they struggle to better themselves until they lose something precious (Lose, because if they win here then the story's over) so they struggle with their defeat thinking they should just give up . . . until new inspiration has them continue. so they mount up, gather their necessary tools, and ride out to face the Villain.
THAT'S just a basic overview of a basic plot, and it can be applied to thousands of stories. Like i said, you called it 'formulaic' but as you can see, it's up to the creativity of the WRITER --not the plot itself-- how wonderful and unique their story will be.
I think you misunderstand because in essence plot says, "Every story must have a logical beginning, middle, and end," and you seem to have looked at that and say, "That's too formulaic so i don't like it." Well, as much as you may not like it, every story DOES have a beginning, a middle, and an end. And every good story has plot.
I used to be just like you, thinking my stories must be unique and different from everything ever written, and i'll just sit down and write, letting my feelings and the characters move the story forward however it happens to flow out from my 'creative' brain. The PROBLEM with that is that it leads to unnecessary dialogue, descriptions and actions that have nothing to do with the actual story or why the reader even picked up your book in the first place to read it.
If i read a book blurb that says, "Hero is an ex soldier who finds his wife kidnapped after returning home from war, so he tracks down her captors to find her and rescue her," I do NOT want to be reading that story about a man rescuing his kidnapped wife and then out from no where, because the writer just let his 'creativity' flow, and all of a sudden i come across a few chapters where the ex soldier Hero takes up gardening along the way, then rescues a cat up a tree, the joins a debate team simply because the writer liked the way they penned those scenes EVEN THOUGH they have NOTHING to do with Hero rescuing his wife.
If it has nothing to do with why the reason the Hero acts, then it shouldn't be in that book. Every scene must have something to do with the Hero's attempt to solve their problem, and plot helps accomplish this.
On a personal note, I've had a friend of several years who wants to be a writer, but they are one of those, "I write and let all of my emotions come out, i never rewrite because it will take away from the emotional impact, and i never plot because i don't want to know where the story is going until i get there," kind of guys. And guess what? He's never had a single thing published, and every story I've ever read of his is basically a bunch of random characters doing unnecessary things for mostly no reason other than what happened to occur to him while he was writing, and thus there's NO POINT to any of his stories.
Plot is like racing. If i tell you you'll start HERE and try to run as fast as you can to get THERE, then you'll know where you're going. BUT if I tell you to start anywhere you want and to finish anywhere you want, you'll just be running in circles because you don't know where you're going =-)
Not too sure about this writing approach
Sometimes I read a book and it seems like the author banged it out in five seconds while taking a dump on the loo. Now I see my suspicions aren't too far from truth.
Challenge accepted. I just

The 're-direct to random web site' effect sometimes seen at www.multiverse.org is an unfortunate side-affect of some anti-spam protocols our site technical guru has in place.

Very interesting
That's a fascinating insight into the way one very succesful author worked. He was obviously an intellegent and skilled writer. I think all budding writers could learn a lot from this, and the rest of the book.
But if I can be a bit picky, this is a bit of a marketing excerise as it is only the content of the book that is written in three days. But there is tons of preperation work to do (which would diminish with experience) which would clearly take a lot longer. So while the words might get written in that amount of time, the rest of the work that has to be done has to be taken into account as well. That said, it's still impressive that anyone can write so much in so little time. Thanks for bringing this book to my attention, I should find a copy asap. Cheers.
Good luck with that. Even the
Good luck with that. Even the paperbacks I've found are pretty expensive.
Great writer no matter what
Great writer no matter what anyone says. I've read a few of Mr Moorcocks books, and really enjoyed every one. Some, such as Behold the Man were really well put together, and others had a breathless quality to them which is refreshing considering the plodding prose in others fantasy writings.
I really do hope he re-releases Death is No Obstacle sometime soon, as the copies I have seen on the net have been anywhere from $50 to as much a $200! And I cannot justify paying such an amount for the book even though people rave about it. I also blanch at buyingthose second hand books because Mr Moorcock doesn't even benefit from the purchase of second hand books I understand?
Please Sir, re-release your amazing tome.
I loved this article, and it reminds me of another very informative book (A Stranger Comes To Town by Adron J. Smitley) that completely outlines the writing process in a quick and concise manner (the book is Very short, like 30 pages i think, but the info is invaluable). I LOVE plot, and I love coming up with new and interesting ways to design the various plots for my writing. I've read The Hero's Journey years ago, and have read it several times over, but I always manage to find more questions because of the 'mysterious' way certain plot points are explained -or, rather, not really explained in such a manner that the reader knows exactly what the author is really talking about. It's nice to see a simple system for writing where the basic layout is there to follow while not putting a damper on the writer's flow of creativity and originality. If you liked the info in this article then I'd suggest you take a look through A Stranger Comes To Town (i think you can still go to Amazon.com and simply flip through the entire book without actually buying it) as ever since I purchased it my writing has become a daily monster of pleasurable work. It used to take me several days to get down a full chapter the way I wanted it, but now I'm churning them out by the day with very little rewriting. My only complaint about this article is that Moorcock's referenced book costs over $100 for a copy AND I REALLY WANT A COPY!!! lol
Pricey Book!
I searched on Amazon and the Michael Moorcock: Death is No Obstacle book is $200 plus! and all sold by private sellers/collectors - one of them priced a new condition book at $925!
Also, there was no way to look inside since Amazon was not the seller.
Very disappointing since I'm in no position to pay $200 for a book.
found a "cheap" copy...
I literally just ordered a copy of Moorcock's book after reading this article, LoL. I managed to find a great used copy for $50 on Amazon. Yeah, that's expensive, but considering I LOVE reading about how other writers' minds work during the creative process I think it's worth it.
Currently I use 'A Stranger Comes To Town' by Adron J. Smitley as a guideline for my novel plots, and it's done wonders for helping me know what to do where and when with its very detailed plot skeleton (plus it's cheap as hell, too). It's MUCH better than The Hero's Journey, and though I love the Save The Cat! books by Blake Snyder, and his beat sheets, i found Adron to be very descriptive while leaving out all of the unnecessary "fluff" whereas Blake was very vague on some of his necessary plot points (and obviously if you've read the Hero's Journey then you know THAT'S chock full of things that make you go "Huh?" at times with it's little, vague descriptions).
I can't wait to get Moorcock's book. It should be arriving sometime next week, and I have you to thank for it =-)
The pulp fiction market that
The pulp fiction market that Lester Dent thrived in is still around, only they call it Kindle Direct.
There are a lot of prolific writers using the general technique, and having a plan seems to pay off. There is the internet challenge of NaNoWriMo—50,000 words in 30 days—and they don't have to be good words. Over the years, I have tried a few times. and I have found I can reckon on getting 2000 words per day. But my best days have been up around 5000.
One guide to fast writing, while echoing Dent and Moorcock on plotting and structure and planning, suggests that if the writing drags, it might be that people won't want to read it. Looking at my own stuff, it feels plausible.
And even James Joyce had a structure and a plan for Ulysses.

by Elevator Repair Service
a dramatic reading of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby
at the Noel Coward Theatre, Friday 6th July 2012
First, let me put my cards on the table and acknowledge that F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby probably lies within my top three favourite books; after reading it countless times for pleasure and study it has taken a particular hold in my psyche and quotes find themselves surfacing in moments of need. For some, this level of fandom could make Elevator Repair Service's production of Gatz problematic, as director John Collins and team hardly treat the novel as sacred. Fortunately for me, however, they hit the nail on the head with their eight-hour reading of Fitzgerald's masterpiece by understanding that the book is, first and foremost, a satire and necessarily has moments of ridiculousness. More than that, however, a unique and masterful theatrical experience is created which follows the contours and cadences we encounter when becoming absorbed by reading.
Much has been written about the office set-up of the piece, so it seems silly to waste words writing about it here other than to say that the drab eighties setting provides a stark contrast to the luxuriousness of both the writing and the content of the novel and raises points about extravagance of latter decades. Louisa Thompson's stark set design highlights just how political The Great Gatsby is whilst doing very little, endowing the company with a fairly blank canvas from which to work, which is slowly coloured by the characters and their narratives. The multitude of objects strewn around the dark room and the on-stage sound desk, operated by designer Ben Williams, enhance the DIY-nature of the production, and emphasise how the visions and noises which appear in our head when reading frequently originate from real-life experience.
The slow evolving of characters from office-lackeys to Fitzgerald's creations takes a while and mirrors the process of reading; the voices in our head and images of characters tend to begin grounded in reality before taking on a life of their own and becoming fully fledged individuals. Scott Shepherd's Nick starts the day in trepidation, unsure of what to make of the novel and merely going through the motions to reach the next page. As the hours elapse, however, he and the audience become utterly absorbed by the narrative until the turning of the pages and the passing of time is barely noticeable. One of the most beautiful moments in Gatz comes when Nick drops the book in the final segment, finishing the story himself without the help of the author; these final scenes are played without the aid of words on the page and come straight from the heart.
In this staging, the (stunningly poetic) final line haunts throughout; "And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past". Many layers are at work here: we experience, in 2012, a theatre show set in a 1980s office which sees the story of 1920s America played out, which in turn has many references to the past. But despite all this, the themes and characters presented remain universal and cross barriers of time. This is heightened by the presence of a laptop, desktop computer, typewriter, phone and book on stage, all of which are symbols of communication throughout the ages, speaking to each other from their personal presents.
The most hilarious moments in Gatz are found when some of the language of The Great Gatsby is shown to be simply absurd, accentuated by knowing looks to the audience. Likewise, the meeting of Daisy and Gatsby in Nick's house ("They were sitting at either end of the couch, looking at each other as if some question had been asked, or was in the air, and every vestige of embarrassment was gone.") has the audience on the floor. To do so is not to negate the power of Fitzgerald's writing, but rather demonstrate his genius as a satirist and his understanding of comedy.
Naturally, when presenting such a well-loved book on stage, differences in opinion are bound to be deepened; to my mind, Lucy Taylor's Daisy is altogether too composed and Susie Sokol's Jordan too energetic to be faithful to the book, whilst very few would argue that Ross Fletcher's cameo as Henry C. Gatz is masterful. On the other hand, however, Jim Fletcher's Gatsby is powerfully enigmatic, his deep tones rumbling through the theatre (though once the resemblance to John Malkovich becomes clear, it's easy to become distracted). Shepherd is truly brilliant as our narrator, and sustains the energy throughout his six-and-a-half-hour stage time to keep the words alive.
When we live in a world governed by excess and greed, The Great Gatsby has a lot to say, so it's unsurprising it is currently seeing a resurgence in popularity (though EVS were undoubtably ahead of Lurhmann and co, seeing as they initially presented this show in 2005). But even more than this, Collins and his company remind us of the pleasure which can be gained from allowing ourselves to be absorbed by a book free of the distractions of modern life and highlight the centrality of words to the experience of reading as the 'e-book versus paper-book' debate becomes fiercer. We shouldn't be surprised if more readings in this vein take place in the future (though books longer than this may have to be edited) as it becomes clearer that audiences want to be taken away from the troubles of modern life for longer than the customary evening. For the time being, however, Gatz has quite possibly just stolen the title of Theatrical Event of the Year.

What could possibly be in this enraged little boy's mind?
Boy fed zoo reptiles to crocodile
Camera footage of the boy at the zoo in Australia
The boy was caught on security camera at the reptile centre
A seven-year-old boy has been filmed going on the rampage at a popular zoo in Australia, killing rare reptiles and feeding live ones to a crocodile.
Footage from the security cameras at Alice Springs Reptile Centre caught the child smiling as he killed a total of 13 animals.
During his 30-minute spree, he was seen hurling the animals over the security fence into the crocodile enclosure.
Zoo officials described the boy's actions as "unbelievable".
They are considering suing the parents as the boy is too young to be prosecuted.
'Difficult to replace'
The attack happened on Wednesday morning after the boy entered the zoo by jumping over the security fence and evading sensor alarms.
Over the next half hour, he bludgeoned some of the animals to death with stones and hurled others over the two fences surrounding the crocodile enclosure.
At one point, he tried scaling the outer enclosure himself to get to "Terry", the 11ft (3.3m) saltwater crocodile.
A turtle, four Western blue-tongued lizards, two bearded dragons, two thorny devil lizards and the zoo's 20-year-old goanna were among those killed.
Zoo director Rex Neindorf said many of the animals were rare or mature and would be difficult to replace.
"The fact a seven-year-old can wreak so much havoc in such a short time, it's unbelievable," he told Reuters news agency.
Mr Neindorf said the boy had "clammed up" when questioned by police.
As children under the age of 10 cannot be held accountable for their actions in the Northern Territory, the zoo would be seeking to take action against the parents.
"We'll be looking at suing the parents, who were supposedly in control of him at the time," he said.
Serial killer in the making no doubt. Too bad there wasn't a hungry crocodile or bear or wild cat within reach of that little monster.
Cheney probably considers this kid a prodigy.
Cheney probably considers this kid a prodigy.
I think Bush would too. He also killed reptiles when he was a kid.

Ratings & Reviews
Roger Spottiswoode (Air America) directed this film, the 18th chapter in the 35-year-old James Bond series (excluding Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again). James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) learns billionaire media mogul Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) is manipulating world events via an exclusive flow of information through his satellite system reaching all corners of the planet. With a stealth battleship sinking a British naval vessel, Carver sees that the Chinese are blamed. Crashing Carver's party in Hamburg, Bond meets "journalist" Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh), later revealed as a Chinese agent. In a brief tryst, Bond renews his past relationship with Carver's wife Paris (Teri Hatcher). Carver dispatches Stamper (Gotz Otto) and other goons to cancel Bond, who eludes attackers with some of his new gadgets. In Southeast Asia, after Bond and Wai Lin scuba dive into the sunken British ship, they are captured by Stamper, handcuffed, and taken to Saigon where they make a motorcycle escape. To thwart Carver's plans for WWIII, the two agents head for Carver's stealth ship where a cruise missile is aimed at Beijing. Principal photography began April 1, 1997 in the new Eon Productions studio facility at Frogmore, northwest of London, and on the 007 stage at Pinewood Studios. Locations included the UK, Hamburg, Southeast Asia, Mexico, and off the Florida coast. The trademark Bond pre-title sequence was filmed in the French Pyrenees snowfields, centered around one of the few high-altitude operational airfields in Europe. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

robd necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 85 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
I am re-launching a web site and on-line card game and need a branded logo for the site/game.
Pitch is a card game played by 3 or more people. Each player is dealt a hand of six cards. The ideal hand is: A,K,Q,J,10,2 in the same suit. The logo should incorporate some card game iconography and should fit the style of a gaming site. The logo will be placed at the top of every page on the site and should scale down to a size appropriate for the game pop-up window.
- Logo must include the brand name ("PitchPlayer.com")
- Must include card game iconography (e.g., suit icons, cards, etc.)
- Must use the color scheme I am currently using for the site (#009900, #00CC00, #ffffff).
- See http://dev.pitchplayer.com for site (currently under development)
- Style should be fun rather than corporate looking.
- Would like a modern-looking font for the brand name.
- Would be great to have a logo that could be used on both a white (#ffffff) and a green (#009900) background.
- I haven't decided what kind of capitalization I prefer (PitchPlayer.com vs. Pitchplayer.com)
- Nothing too plain or corporate looking, please. It's a gaming site.

If you want four engines how about the DC6 that now sadly doing duty as a cafe.Nice potential for fare paying jaunts too (Dr. P. always said they were effectively running an airline, just no passengers).
I'm sure that there's a valid reason, but why this Airframe as opposed to the PR9 that was recently restored?
Like I say, I'm sure there's a valid reason for chosing this one above the PR9.
I have just read in a book that the Canberra has a wooden tail? is this correct.I worked on Canberras as an air electrician in 1956 and never knew this.

Well ..I hope they all think very closely at what their crimes entailed...we have offered a movie with MICHAEL MANN and AMI to tell how pedophilia begins and hopefully how it might end.
But you all must now do your duty and dig deep into your souls.
Look at those drugged children and see if they tuly want what you give them...and if you have the right to end their lives.
SARA PICHELLI who culls with REDPATH and CHENEY and LOUISIANA and SA and RAPHAEL BERRIRO...you

Never say there was no way out...you have one now, and you have HOLLYWOOD trying to nail governments.

Unlike many folding shovels that are of disappointing construction and function, this is one shovel you can depend on when you need it most. Ideal for camping or keeping in a vehicle for emergencies, it is well made and designed for rigorous use.
The 6" x 8" treaded carbon-steel blade is large enough for moving material efficiently, and has a spear point to ease digging in hard-packed soil or snow. One side of the blade is bevelled for chopping; the other has serrations to help cut through roots or sod. The blade can be set in line with the handle or locked at 90° for quickly trenching around tents or campfires, or for use as a tamp. With an open D-style grip large enough to allow use with gloves or mitts, the aluminum handle has a bi-fold design for compact storage. A single threaded collar securely locks the handle and blade in position – there are no wobbly joints.
Measuring 23" end to end when open, it folds to 9" x 6" x 2" so it can be stowed almost anywhere. Weighs just over 2 lb. A real workhorse.
