Artist and filmmaker Steven Rodney McQueen was born in London on October 9, 1969. His critically-acclaimed directorial debut, Hunger, won the Camera d'Or at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. He followed that up with the incendiary offering Shame, a well-received, thought-provoking drama about addiction and secrecy in the modern world.
In 1996, McQueen was the recipient of an ICA Futures Award. A couple of years later, he won a DAAD artist's scholarship to Berlin. Besides exhibiting at the ICA and at the Kunsthalle in Zürich, he also won the coveted Turner Prize. He has exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Documenta, and at the 53rd Venice Biennale as a representative of Great Britain.
His artwork can be found in museum collections around the world like the Tate, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Centre Pompidou. In 2003, he was appointed Official War Artist for the Iraq War by the Imperial War Museum and he subsequently produced the poignant and controversial project Queen and Country commemorating the deaths of British soldiers who perished in the conflict by presenting their portraits as a sheet of stamps.
Steve and his wife, cultural critic Bianca Stigter, live and work in Amsterdam, which is where they are raising their son, Dexter, and daughter, Alex. Here, he talks about his latest film, "12 Years a Slave," which recently won the People's Choice Awards for Best Film and Best Director at the Toronto Film Festival.
LAWT: I've loved all three of your feature films, this new one, and Hunger and Shame as well. They are so different from each other and yet quite remarkable and memorable, each in their own way.
SM: Thank you. Well, I do my best. I'm just happy that people are responding to the films as positively as they are. To be honest with you, it's one of those things where we're just happy to get them made. When you get to make something, you always hope people will go and see it. And we're very, very pleased by the response to "12 Years a Slave." It's kind of humbling and remarkable.
LAWT: Your work reminds me of Ang Lee's in terms of its quality and versatility in the way that his movies are each phenomenal yet so very different from each other.
SM: Wow! That's a huge compliment. What can I say? He's a master. Ang Lee is a person I really admire and look up to. I love so many of his films, especially Ride with the Devil, Sense and Sensibility, and The Ice Storm.
LAWT: Editor/Legist Patricia Turnier asks: What does it mean to you to be in charge of adapting Solomon Northup's memoir? How do you explain that his autobiography was buried for around a hundred years contrary to those of some of his contemporaries like Frederick Douglass?
SM: I feel tremendously honored but I also feel a tremendous responsibility because through this film, we can bring Solomon Northrup's memory to the surface. His story was buried for so long. When the book first came out in 1853, it was a phenomenal best seller for its time, and sold 27,000 copies in 18 months. But what happened was Uncle Tom's Cabin was published the following year, and that was it for "12 Years a Slave." It fell into obscurity. Academics knew about the memoir but it otherwise became lost. To me, it was always like the American equivalent of The Diary of Anne Frank. That's why it became my passion to get this film made.
LAWT: Harriet Pakula-Teweles asks: In a film described as a historical drama, how do you establish a healthy balance between history and drama?
SM: By relying on the book. As a filmmaker I was interested in illustrating the history of what slavery was about, which was slave labor. In the background of one frame, for example, you see sugar cane. In the second plantation, you see logging. And on the third location, we see corn. So, at the same time you're following Solomon's adventure of trying to get home, in the background you simultaneously see the horrors and pains of what slavery was about.
LAWT: Fellow director Rel Dowdell asks: Do you feel that the great success of Django Unchained improves your very visceral film's chances for a warm reception?
SM: I think that film was very helpful, of course, in making people aware by getting the subject-matter on film. So, I couldn't say it didn't help.
LAWT: What interested you as a Brit in an African-American story?
SM: The story's not just an African-American story. It's a universal story. It's a world story. My parents are from the West Indies. My father's from Grenada, which is where Malcolm X's mother was born. My mother was born in Trinidad, which is where Stokely Carmichael, the man who coined the phrase "Black Power!" was born. Sidney Poitier was born in the Bahamas. I'm part of that diaspora of people displaced by the slave trades. I'm part of that family. It's our story. It's a global story.
LAWT: My grandparents were born in St. Croix, St. Kitts and Barbados. Do you eat any West Indian food like curried goat, callaloo or roti?
SM: Yeah, all of that. And then, when you go to New Orleans, you find similar dishes. We're all family!
LAWT: How did you settle on Chiwetel as Solomon Northrup?
SM: Chiwetel was always the one I wanted to make the movie with because there's a certain humanity and gentility about him that I needed for the lead role. Solomon was a person who maintained his humanity whatever his circumstances, and I needed someone of that same caliber, because he would be tested to the breaking point. I needed an actor who could hold up during those moments of extreme stress.
LAWT: Why did you use the great Michael Fassbender in each of your films?
SM: I think Michael is the most influential actor of his generation. He's like a Mickey Rourke or a Gary Oldman. People want to be him. Actors want to act with him. Students choose to pursue acting because of him. I was very fortunate to land him for Hunger. We've been close friends ever since. He's an amazing actor and I will always want to work with.
LAWT: How did you assemble such a top-flight cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Giamatti, Brad Pitt, Quvenzhane Wallis, Paaul Dano, and newcomer Lupita Nyong'o.
SM: I had huge help from the casting director, Francine Maisler. She did an incredible job. We auditioned over a thousand girls for the role of Patsey. And we ended up with Lupita who hadn't even graduated from acting school yet. But she auditioned for us, and that was it. A star was born!
LAWT: The bookworm Troy Johnson question: What was the last book you read?
SM: The last one I actually read was a children's book I read to my son last night called something like "Teacher Goes to School."
LAWT: What is your favorite dish to cook?
SM: Pasta, because it's easy.
LAWT: When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
SM: I see all the lines in my face from tiredness.
LAWT: The Ling-Ju Yen question: What is your earliest childhood memory?
SM: Borrowing roller skates from a next-door neighbor when I was about 3 or 4 years-old.
LAWT: The Mike Pittman question: What was your best career decision?
SM: Meeting my wife.
LAWT: If you could have one wish instantly granted, what would that be for?
SM: World peace. It might sound corny, but that's the truth.
LAWT: The Jamie Foxx question: If you only had 24 hours left to live, how would you spend the time?
SM: With the people I love.
LAWT: The Kerry Washington question: If you could be another animal, which one would you choose?
SM: A dolphin.
LAWT: The Melissa Harris-Perry question: How did your first big heartbreak impact who you are as a person?
SM: I learned that life is a long and difficult road, but you have to keep going, or you'll fall by the wayside.
LAWT: The Anthony Mackie question: Is there something that you promised to do if you became famous, that you still haven't done yet?
SM: Am I famous?
LAWT: The Tavis Smiley question: How do you want to be remembered?
SM: As a person who tried.
LAWT: Thanks again for the time, Steve, and best of luck with the film.
SM: Thank you. Take care, Kam.

A jury cleared concert promoter AEG Live on Wednesday of negligence in the hiring of the doctor convicted of killing Michael Jackson.
The panel unanimously rejected a lawsuit brought by Jackson's mother that sought to financially punish AEG Live LLC, the promoters of her son's "This Is It" concerts planned for London.
"I couldn't be more pleased with the way the jury came out. They got it exactly right," AEG Live lead defense attorney Marvin S. Putnam said after the verdict was read.
Katherine Jackson told reporters she was OK after the verdict.
A victory could have meant hundreds of millions of dollars in damages for Katherine Jackson and the singer's three children and provided a rebuke of AEG Live LLC, the nation's second-largest concert promoter.
Lawyers for Katherine Jackson argued that AEG Live hired Dr. Conrad Murray to be the singer's physician without considering whether he was fit for the job.
AEG Live denied any wrongdoing and said it was Jackson who hired Murray.
Murray was convicted in 2011 of involuntary manslaughter after giving Jackson the overdose as he prepared for a series of comeback shows.
The case provided the closest look yet at Jackson's drug use and his battles against chronic pain and insomnia. It also took jurors behind the scenes in the rough and tumble world of negotiations with one of the world's most famous entertainers looking to solidify his legendary status after scandal interrupted his career.
Witnesses said he saw the "This Is It" concerts as a chance for personal redemption after being acquitted of child molestation.
But as the opening date of the shows approached, associates testified that he had bouts of insecurity and agonized over his inability to sleep. They said he turned to the drug propofol and found Murray, who was willing to buy it in bulk and administer it to him on a nightly basis even though it is not meant to be used outside operating rooms.
Testimony at the civil trial showed that only Jackson and Murray knew he was taking the drug.
In his closing argument, AEG Live attorney Marvin Putnam told jurors that the company would have pulled the plug on the shows if they knew he was using the anesthetic.
"AEG would have never agreed to finance this tour if they knew Mr. Jackson was playing Russian roulette in his bedroom every night,"
Brian Panish, a lawyer for the Jackson family, countered that AEG Live was negligent by not looking far enough to find out what it needed to know about Murray. He claimed in his closing argument that the lure of riches turned the company and Murray into mercenaries who sacrificed the pop star's life in a quest to boost their own fortunes.
Panish asked jurors: "Do people do things they shouldn't do for money? People do it every day."
He said a $150,000-a-month contract to care for Jackson was a lifeline to help Murray climb out of his financial troubles, which included $500,000 in debt. AEG Live, meanwhile, had only one interest — launching a world tour for the King of Pop that would yield untold millions in profits, the lawyer said.
AEG Live's lawyers framed the case as being about personal choice, saying Jackson made bad choices about the drug that killed him and the doctor who provided it. They said he was the architect of his own demise and no one else can be blamed.
Putnam said Jackson insisted on hiring the cardiologist, despite objections from AEG Live.
"It was his money and he certainly wasn't going to take no for an answer," the lawyer said.
Putnam portrayed AEG Live and its executives as victims of deception by Jackson and Murray. He showed brief excerpts from the "This Is It" documentary to show that Jackson appeared in top form just 12 hours before he died.
"AEG Live did not have a crystal ball," he said. "Dr. Murray and Mr. Jackson fooled everyone. They want to blame AEG for something no one saw."
Murray was convicted in 2011 of involuntary manslaughter for causing Jackson's death and is due to be released in October after serving a two year jail sentence.
Jurors heard testimony from more than 50 witnesses, including Jackson's mother and his eldest son, Prince, as well as days of testimony from AEG executives who were repeatedly asked about emails in which they discussed Jackson's missed rehearsals and described Murray's pay as a done deal.
They also heard about Jackson's close relationship to many of his doctors, including Murray, who he first met in Las Vegas in 2007.
Katherine Jackson called the case a search for the truth about the death of her son and the trial featured potentially embarrassing revelations for both sides. AEG's executives had their emails picked apart, revealing concerns that Jackson wouldn't be able to perform the shows as planned, that a lawyer at their parent company referred to Michael Jackson as "the freak," and that Jackson was derided even though the company had invested more than $30 million in his shows.
AEG Live, meanwhile, laid out Jackson's medical history, presenting testimony about his use of drugs, including the powerful painkiller Demerol, for pain stemming from an accident that occurred decades ago while he was filming a Pepsi commercial. Jackson had no trace of that drug in his system when he died.
The lawyers called witnesses who recounted Jackson's use of propofol dating back to the 1990s. In 1997, two German doctors administered the anesthetic to help the singer sleep between shows in Munich.
A few years later, Jackson requested the anesthetic from a dental anesthesiologist who refused, as did another doctor who testified that Jackson kept a box of propofol in his bedroom at Neverland Ranch.
On the issue of possible damages, expert witnesses for the company said any estimate of Jackson's future earnings were speculative, and they showed the panel that the singer was deeply in debt and consistently spent more than he earned.
In the verdict form, jurors were first asked to decide the central question of the case — whether AEG Live hired Murray to treat Jackson. During the trial, they heard evidence that AEG had drafted a contract that was signed by Murray. But there were no indications that it was signed by AEG Live or Jackson.
Attorneys for the singer's mother argued that Jackson's signature was not necessary, but the company's attorneys said the contract required his consent to be binding.
Jackson's mother and his three children are supported by his estate, which provides a comfortable lifestyle for them and erased hundreds of millions of dollars in debts by debuting new projects and releasing new music featuring the King of Pop.

LOS ANGELES — A lawyer for Michael Jackson's family on Tuesday portrayed concert promoter AEG Live LLC and Jackson's doctor as mercenaries who sacrificed the pop star's life in a quest to boost their own fortunes.
Attorney Brian Panish made the claims while delivering his closing argument at the long-running negligence case, asking jurors: "Do people do things they shouldn't do for money? People do it every day."
A $150,000-a-month contract to care for Jackson was a lifeline to help Dr. Conrad Murray climb out of his financial troubles, Panish told jurors, saying the doctor was $500,000 in debt and about to lose his home.
AEG Live, meanwhile, had only one interest — launching a world tour for the King of Pop that would yield untold millions in profits, the lawyer said.
The lawsuit filed by Katherine Jackson, the singer's mother, accuses AEG Live of negligence in hiring Murray and seeks as-yet unspecified damages for the singer's family.
Panish told a packed courtroom that Murray's woes were unknown to AEG Live when Jackson proposed the cardiologist as his private physician because the company did not research his finances.
He also said Murray's willingness to close his medical offices to take the job could have raised a red flag if AEG Live had investigated the cardiologist.
"Obviously, he was incompetent and unfit," Panish said. "He caused the death of Michael Jackson."
Murray was convicted in 2011 of involuntary manslaughter after giving Jackson an overdose of the anesthetic propofol as he tried to sleep during preparations for his "This Is It" concerts in London.
Attorneys for AEG will present their closing argument Wednesday.
The company has claimed that Jackson insisted that Murray treat him because the doctor was giving him propofol as a sleep aid. The drug is not meant to be used outside operating rooms.
AEG Live drafted a contract for Murray's services, according to testimony, but it was only signed by Murray. Still, Panish said, the contract was valid because it was the result of oral negotiations with Murray.
Panish urged jurors to act as the conscience of the community and award damages to Jackson's family. Jackson's mother, Katherine, her daughter Rebbie and nephews Taj and TJ, sat in a front row as Panish delivered his remarks.
The trial had been moved to a larger courtroom to accommodate media, spectators, lawyers and Jackson fans. A delegation of justice officials from Thailand also observed from the gallery.
The plaintiffs, who have the burden of proof, were expected to tell jurors on Thursday that they are seeking more than $1 billion. Experts have testified that Jackson had a long, lucrative career ahead of him when he died at 50.
On Monday, Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos gave the jury legal instructions. Everyone has biases, she said, but they must not be swayed by prejudice, sympathy or public opinion while deliberating.
If the jury finds that damages should be assessed, the judge said they must not consider such issues as the grief endured by the Jackson family or the wealth of both sides in the bitterly fought case.
A unanimous verdict is not required. Only nine of the 12 jurors must agree.

"There have been many marches since, and several before, but no other march to the nation's capital captured our collective imagination like the March on Washington of August 28, 1963… The momentous pilgrimage showcased an inspired… Martin Luther King, Jr., the celebrated leader of black America who hadn't yet delivered an entire speech that the nation had listened to…
Gospel legend Mahalia Jackson… encouraged her friend to depart from paper… "Tell 'em about the dream, Martin," she bellowed from the background. And respond to her call King did… King cast aside his prepared speech… to weave the dream metaphor into the tapestry of the nation's self-image, and in the process he grafted black folk to the heart of American democracy."
Excerpted from the Essay by Michael Eric Dyson (pgs. 1-5)
"Leonard Freed's photographs of the March on Washington depict
both the march and the marchers… For the participants, this was both a serious and a happy occasion, a chance to exercise their rights and to petition their government for a redress of ancient grievances. The marchers are at once sober, somber, and gleeful—proud to be present as they sense history is being made."
Excerpted from the Foreword by Julian Bond (page ix)
When you think of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, what automatically comes to mind for most people is Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. And while Dr. King's remarks certainly deserve every bit of recognition they have garnered over the years, it is also important to remember that hundreds of thousands of ordinary American citizens committed to civil rights had descended on the National Mall to attend the event.
I was only a child at the time, but I can still readily recall the palpable concern in the air about the folks from the neighborhood boarding buses for DC. After all, the press had been speculating about the prospect of rioting and arrests if the crowd were unruly, so those participating were doing so with the prospect of considerable personal risk in mind.
Fortunately, the glorious gathering went of without a hitch and came to represent a watershed moment in U.S. History. Now, a half-century later, we are lucky to have an opus like "This Is the Day" available to remind us of that high point in the nation's non-violence movement.
The book is essentially a photographic essay chronicled by Leonard Freed (1929-2006) before, during and after at the March. His beautiful black & white images are rarely of the leaders (only one of Dr. King), but rather are evocative portraits of the movement's hopeful foot soldiers who'd trudged from all over the country to petition the government for equal rights.
A few of the photos captured are wide-angle panoramas which give a sense of the mammoth scale of the demonstration. But most are intimate snapshots which afford you an opportunity to read each of the earnest subject's faces.
Besides the timeless stills, the tome is devoted to the reflections of civil rights leader Julian Bond, who was at the March, as well as to a very colorful essay recounting the day by Michael Eric Dyson, written with a profusion of the popular professor's trademark rhetorical flourishes. It also features a postscript by Paul Farber analyzing the gifted Freed's approach to his craft.
Overall, this timely tome is a perfect way to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of one of the most important landmarks in African-American history.

Seriously mate, f**k the trolls and the pendants. If it had of been "every 20 minutes" they would have jumped all over it because the cool down is now 10 minutes, completely ignoring the anecdote was about BC. Hell the whinging threw me off because I thought in 3.3 the CD was reduced from 10 minutes to 8 not 20 to 10 and had to look it up *(I've been away for a few months and have been playing my priest more, for which most of the long cooldowns did go 10 to 8 in 3.3).
The anecdote makes perfect sense NOW and would only be bad advice if someone was playing on a pre-3.3 server.
* WoWWiki is my first stop for ability history.

I spent much of my childhood reading Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie mysteries, dreaming of living in a stately English manor filled with secret passageways hidden behind library shelves and fireplaces. That fantasy has given way to a slightly more practical aesthetic but I still yearn for a home with a few cool clandestine spaces.
(Photo: O Hello Friend)
Everyone wants to conceal their messy bedrooms from guests, so why not go all the way and really hide the bedroom? Replacing the door with a swinging bookcase is a win-win solution: the bedroom becomes a truly private oasis and the door provides a place to display that murder mystery collection.
(Photo: Dornob)
I've seen Murphy beds before but never a Murphy library. This is a perfect way to create separate zones in a studio apartment without taking up valuable floor space.
(Photo: Apartment Therapy)
This closet-office is another (and super-cute) way to create a second "room" that can be hidden on a whim. However, I can't imagine having an "extra" closet to devote to this project!
(Photo: My Home Ideas: Cottage Living)
I love kitchens with open storage but am not enough of a neatnik to pull it off in my own home. The owners of this house used a door from an old bank safe to hide the pantry and create a cool, vintage vibe.
(Photo: The Kitchn)
Looking for even more kitchen space? Think down. This trap door covers an impressive wine cellar that is sure to make oenophiles drool, though I wouldn't want to climb these stairs after indulging in a few glasses.
(Photo: The Kitchn)
In my small condo, staircases take up about a quarter of the square footage without providing much of a wow factor. But imagine if each one opened to reveal a secret hidey hole, like something out of a James Bond movie. And I would finally have a place to store my off-season clothing!
(Photo: Pinterest)
As to my childhood dream of secret passageways behind bookshelves, this is about as close as it gets in modern design: the owners of this Portland home hid their stairs between two elegantly curved bookcases, helping to focus the eye on their impressive library and not the utilitarian passageway inside.
(Photo: Ready Made)
I may never live in English manor but at least I know that a secret space isn't completely out of the question in my future.

With PvE, the dungeons don't change each time you go into it. So gearscore becomes a quick way of determining if your gear is appropriate for that particular content (optimally that's the intent, at least...let's please not start a "gearscore≠skill" argument here).
With PvP, you don't really need a quick way of determining gear. In a battleground, your best bet is having a team with a strategy and you probably don't have much choice in who you're grouped with. In arena...well, why wouldn't you have the time to just look at your prospective team member's armory to see what their gear looks like?
Besides...explaining your PvP gear is usually pretty easy anyway. "I'm full Furious/Relentless with X amount of resil."

Grind and Brew Your Perfect Cup
Cuisinart has introduced a fully programmable coffeemaker with a burr grinder for superior coffee. The special burr grinder grinds the coffee without influencing the integrity of the bean, so the true flavor is maintained.
Cuisinart DGB-900BC Burr Grind and Brew Thermal 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker:
Dimensions: Measures 8.27 in. x 11.61 in. x 16.34 in.
A Closer Look: The strength selector and the grind control functions fine-tune intensity and volume and the thermal carafe seals in heat and freshness so the last cup is as good as the first. It's never been easier to make a great pot of coffee.
Take Care: The filter, filter basket and filter basket cover can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.
About the Brand: When the food processor was introduced in 1973, it wasn't known as a food processor; it was commonly referred to as a Cuisinart. The rest is culinary history.

Lots of photos today . . . about just that, DeWitt being a former 1810 NYC mayor (after becoming disgruntled as US Senator from NY state . . . and before going on to other offices) greatly responsible for up-commercializing the waters around the city so that the other five boros would come into being.
Denizens today, include all manner of critters, plus folks like these McQuaid rowers who come to help others.
Or like Ra to prove something.
Notice the salad growing on the outriggers and elsewhere.
Or to heal, while kayaking 6000 miles.
Folks come to the canal to tootle around on interesting boats like this 1973 Albin 25. Here's a similar boat.
Or this antique. Sorry I don't know the manufacturer of Lazy Bones.
Or this Island Packet with an unusual tender.
A Lagoon 43 power cat.
A Mark V design.
Boats from distant ends of the US . . .
and beyond.
In case you don't recognize the flag there from World Cup play, Zwerver is Dutch.
All manner of denizens travel along the banks whether for shelter or
an interest in technological history like this and
lots like this.
Cheap living space with unique roommates can be had too.
The canal is a place of work too. …
and commerce past . . . like 127′ Alanson Sumner, built by the Goble yard in 1872; and
present . . . like the half century young Margot.
Come on up, stick your neck out like Chelydra s. here, and enjoy . . .
All photos taken in June by Will Van Dorp.
Happy Independence Day . . .
Here was Highway the first and second.
The photo below I took on June 22. Cheyenne was headed for Erie PA and Margot was St. Lawrence bound.
June 23 . . . Margot pushes her load out into Lake Ontario past Kathy Lynn and the dredge working the mouth of Oswego harbor,
Massena bound.
This photo I took on June 30, as Margot and light barge eastbound arrive at top of Lock 19. . .
and eases into the chamber.
June 28 Margot, house lowered heads towards the top of Lock 11 in Amsterdam.
And here, credit goes to the photographer on the Tugboat Roundup FB page, Margot, accompanied by Frances, is northbound on the Hudson moving a beautifully bedazzled Slater.
Many thanks to Paul Strubeck, the photographer of the photo above. All others are by Will Van Dorp.
Just a note . . . some of my posts are "text light" this summer because those are assembled as I travel with an aging laptop that is increasing out of touch with the WordPress software. I'm investigating an iPad upgrade and welcome input on dealing with what I understand as an inability to download camera photos of iPad.
Also, if anyone along the Oswego or Erie Canals reads this and got photos this week of Cheyenne with two scows, please share them with me?
In order . . . . Governor Roosevelt with Tender#4, Tender #4 with electric motor and unique stack, Urger, Seneca and Tender Dana on the nose, Tender Dana, "newish" antiques on Lake Oneida east end, dredge and Tender #10, Tender T-7, Governor Cleveland, Dragon dredge, derrick boat. As to the tenders, think . . a vessel for tending dredges and other vessels. For Dragon dredge, I've no idea about the story there.
In reverse commentary on the photos above, photo #9 just above was the heron that checked me back into Waterford after seven days on the Canal. Photo #1 way above is the heron that stood guard in Oswego. In between . . . Margot and Cheyenne headed west and then east. Enjoy these photos sent along on this inflexible old laptop. As of this writing, I'm guessing Margot is approaching the sixth boro for the dazzled Slater move tomorrow. I hope my sixth boro friends get good pics of the move from KVK to albany.
More photos soon.
Janga Bork is NOT a Dutch fishing vessel, although the unusual (?) hull brings it to the top of this post. The "L" prefix on the hull identifies it as Danish.
By the way, the aggressive newish spell checker always tries to change my preferred spelling of "sixth boro" to "sixth bork." You may have seen some "typos" I missed. I'm very happy to learn that Bork is in fact the name of lovely Danish seaside town that I must visit one of these years.
For (slightly dated) info on Dutch society and fish, click here. For a thought-provoking op-ed piece by Paul Greenberg on the plight of US fishing industry, click here. The "UK" on the trawler below, Sursum Cordo, identifies it as registered in Urk. Fishing vessels from all over –see Stellendam below–bring their catch to Ijmuiden, just outside Amsterdam.
Huge trawlers like Cornelis Vrolijk's Carolien . . . of Scheveningen–operate out of here as well.
Here's sister ship Scombrus.
Smaller trawlers Seagull and Flamingo are sculptural.
The "Z" on Flamingo stands for Zeebruge in Belgium.
In a Den Helder drydock, it's Grietje Hendrika by the top sign and St. Antonius (Belgian) in raised metal letters below.
No surprise Dr. Maarten Luther is German.
In the town of Haarlem, the fish merchant is one of the more recently built buildings.
In the same square, this take on "blind justice" is a refreshing leap backwards.
Noord Hinder lightship . . . just over a half century old . . . reminds me of this lightship lost in the South American jungle.
Another restored Dutch steam vessel Hydrograaf has a name that reveals the mission for which it was launched over a century ago.
I have more, but for now . . . as the Dutch say . . . Stop.

Compound 20 by USP Labs is a fantastic hardening and leaning supplement made from all natural ingredients. It has been created to transform your overall body composition in addition to increasing strength and definition. C20 only contains three simple, yet powerful, ingredients. It doesn't need to have a million ingredients to build all the muscle you could ever want. USPLabs has created Compound 20 to help you harden muscles, gain mass, and burn unwanted fat. How often do you find a supplement that can provide all three of these benefits? It's pretty rare. As a bodybuilder and fitness freak, you would be out of your mind if you didn't make C20 the first supplement in your stack. It's just that good.
If you have read the product descriptions about Compound 20, you may have been a little confused. Rest assured, the product has passed with flying colors. All of the beta testers have come back with raving reviews, and with good reason. One of the most common things that was said about C20 is that it helps shed the fat regardless of the diet you're on. Compound 20 isn't even promoted as a fat burning supplement, nor does it have any stimulants in it. It just seems to melt the fat off your body like nothing else around.
The muscle mass and strength gains seen were just as unbelievable. People were losing fat and gaining muscle during a maintenance bulk. In fact, it worked best for people in heavy bulking and weight gaining cycles. They were eating and drinking like maniacs and somehow still burned off the fat. As far as strength gains, well, most people were seeing the same gains as if they were on a hormonal supplement. Remember, C20 is all natural and stimulant free, so these kinds of gains are truly amazing.
Beta testers were probably most impressed by the increased energy and endurance they got from a stimulant free supplement. It's an explosive type of energy, not just a quick boost. You will be training at a higher level than ever before. C20 will make the transition off of stimulant cycles seamless and completely eliminate any withdrawal type symptoms.
Now, to get the best results from USP Labs Compound 20, you're going to want to stack it with another supplement. Jack3d should be that supplement. It is the most superior nitric oxide pre-workout supplement on the market. Also created by USPLabs, Jack3d has been formulated for pumps like you have never seen before. The energy that it provides to you will keep you going without a nasty crash when it wears off. Jack3d increases your endurance so that you can stay in the gym longer and see benefits faster. Your focus will skyrocket so that you are in the right mindset for that massive strength and muscle gains that it can bring you. Jack3d is the real deal.
USP Labs Compound 20 is completely safe. Check out some of the additional benefits:
Non-hormonal supplement Burns fat like crazy, without the drug-like after effects It has nutrient repartitioning properties without affecting insulin levels It's a stimulant free supplement, which means you can stack it with Jack3d for a next-lever, super intense workout. Users of C20 are breaking personal records like never before.
The biggest benefit on this list is that Compound 20 is so easily stacked. Since it is stimulant free, the obvious choice for a stack is Jack3d. The combination of these two supplements will provide you with an experience that you've wanted you're entire life. You'll burn fat. You will gain lean and defined muscle mass. Your focus, energy, and endurance will keep you moving forward no matter what. Your sex drive will make you feel like you're in college again. This is the stack that you want to have.
USPLabs Compound 20 only has 3 ingredients. That's it. It's all you need. The first ingredient we'll talk about is N-Coumaroyldopamine. Its function is to increase cAMP levels via beta 2-adrenoceptors. USPLabs were the first to successfully extract this compound from cocoa and place it in a supplement in a way that was safe. It wasn't until people started taking the supplement that they realized how powerful the beta-2 agonists really were. They are providing the same result as prescription drugs in a safer way. N-Coumaroyldopamine also increases the amount of mTOR that gets activated in the body. It is a type of protein kinase that regulates growth, protein synthesis, and hypertrophy.
The next ingredient is N-Caffeoyldopamine. This is very similar to the first ingredient. It actually does everything that N-Coumaroyldopamine provides. N-Coumaroyldopamine is hard to come by, so N-Caffeoyldopamine is used to get the ingredients to a level where they need to be.
The final ingredient of Compound 20 is Symplocos Racemosa Extract. This is the first ingredient listed, so there is a higher amount of it than the other two ingredients. This is what is providing all the nutrient partitioning properties of C20. It makes you super thirsty and you absolutely need to take it with carbs. What Symplocos Racemosa does is stops the cAMP from degrading. This makes it last longer. It is also standardized for triterpenoids. In this case, they are ursolic acid, oleanic acid, and betulinic acid.
Because C20 is all natural and contains so few ingredients, there are very little side effects to be discussed. Some side effects are actually wanted by users. Most users describe a massive hunger and thirst, which is generally a good thing when trying to bulk up. As your muscles increase in size, your body is going to natural have an increased appetite to keep up with the pace.
You're going to be drinking more water than you ever thought was possible. This means is that C20 is working in your system. What's actually happening is that 2.7g of water is shuttled to the muscle tissue for every carb that is stored as glycogen. So, if your body is telling you to drink, make sure you listen.
Another side effect that most users experienced was a huge increase in libido. Yes, your sex drive will be through the roof. C20 will put you in the mood for sex and increase your drive like never before. Be ready for this!
Jason says:
I have used Compound 20 several times whether it be for a bulking or cutting phase. When I have used it during a bulking phase; I noticed that I am able to stay leaner and receive incredible pumps while ultimately put on muscle mass. During a cutting cycle accompanied with a strict diet, It helped me obtain that lean physique that I was going for, while still receiving an amazing pump and crazy vascularity. I would suggest running it for a minimum of 8 weeks to take advantage of Compound 20's full potential. I recommend this product due to its effectiveness and versatility!
David says:
Just entering my 8th week on Compound 20, and once again I have the proof that these supplements are a total scam.
No benefits from this whatsoever. I wasn't expecting miracles, but reading other reviews I was expecting to see some sort of benefit from taking it but there's nothing. Like EVERY other supplement out there, its a waste of money.
Nathan says:
I was a beta-tester for this stuff. All in all it was pretty good as far as vascularity goes, and the pump was pretty intense. When I first started building is when I was taking it, and slowly but surely I was gaining weight without gaining a whole lot of fat. After awhile it seemed that C20 was just a one trick pony, that is until I finished the bottle. Once I stopped taking it, I went about my routine except for instead of gaining weight slowly it shot up, but it was all bad weight. While I was taking it I was clearly gaining minimal fat, now that I'm off of it I'm pretty sure I'm gaining nothing but. Was it the C20? Not 100% but if anything it gives you a pretty intense pump.

After Prodrive got in charge over the Aston Martin company they have announced big plans for the future. One of them is to put into production the Rapide Concept that was unveiled in 2006 at the North American International Auto Show. The Rapide will go into production in 2009 and will compete with the Porsche Panamera, Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class and Maserati Quattroporte.
David Richards, founder of Prodrive confirmed the production of the Rapide: "Although Aston is 84 years old, this is a young business which needs to mature. It's important that we develop procedures and standards of our own. As far as new models go, the DBS, our Vanquish replacement, isn't far away and we've also approved the investment that will bring the Rapide four-door saloon to market late in 2009."
The Aston Martin Rapide name is a reference to the Lagonda Rapide, a 4-door GT car produced from 1961 through 1964 by Lagonda, now part of Aston Martin.
Aston Martin wants the Rapide to reach the market before the Panamera. This means that the company has less than two years to engineer and develop the new car, which will line up alongside the V8 Vantage, DB9 and a successor to today's Vanquish.
The Rapide will be based on Aston Martin's unique VH (Vertical/Horizontal) architecture (the same that will be used for the 2008 DBS), it combines the company's commitment to power, beauty and soul with space and practicality for every eventuality. It stands for stylistic excellence, market innovation and flexible manufacturing.
The 2009 production car will have the same design as the 2006 Concepts, but it will use less costly materials for the body and the interior.
The Rapide will be derived from the DB9 platform and powered by the same engine from the DB9. The 5.9-liter V12 will deliver between 450 to 480 hp at 4000 rpm. Even if the Rapide will have the same power as the DB9, it will be slower than it. We have to consider that the Rapide is a sedan, so its top speed will be lower than the one for the coupe. We expect the Rapide to have a top speed of 180 mph and make the 0 to 60 mph in around 5 seconds. This will make it one of the fastest sedans in the world.
It will come with a six-speed manual transmission as a standard, and also a paddle-shifted automatic will be offered as an option.
The 2009 Rapide will be priced between $160.000 (DB9) and $175.000 (DB9 Volante). It will add another 1,000 to 2,000 cars to Aston Martin's annual total of 7,000 units. The Aston Martin factory at Gaydon in Oxfordshire will have to be expanded with a new production line and developments to the body and paint shops.
1961-1964 Aston Martin Lagonda Rapide
The Lagonda Rapide was a 4-door GT car produced from 1961 through 1964. Based on the Aston Martin DB4, it was David Brown's attempt to revive the Lagonda marque which he had purchased in 1953. The car featured tailfins and a horse collar grille like Ford's failed Edsel.
The Rapide used a 4.0 L straight-6 engine, which would later be used in the Aston Martin DB5. Other new features included a de Dion tube rear suspension which would find its way into the Aston Martin DBS.
The car was built to order only and costly at £4,950. However, 55 vehicles were produced, of which 48 are known today.
2006 Aston Martin Rapide Concept
The Aston Martin Rapide concept is a four-door, high performance coupé of remarkable grace and poise. Based on Aston Martin's unique VH (Vertical/Horizontal) architecture, the Rapide combines the company's commitment to power, beauty and soul with space and practicality for every eventuality.
It stands for stylistic excellence, market innovation and flexible manufacturing. The Rapide is the epitome of Aston Martin's low-volume, high-technology approach, the synergy of modern methods and materials with traditional skills to create a new form of craftsmanship for the 21st century.
Underpinning the Rapide concept is Aston Martin's VH architecture, developed to offer exceptional manufacturing flexibility. This high-strength, low-mass architecture forms the backbone of the current generation of Aston Martins, spearheaded by the DB9 Coupé and flanked by the DB9 Volante and the Vantage.
The extruded aluminium construction of the VH architecture can be modified in both length and width, providing a myriad of packaging options, and the chemically-bonded structure (using glues derived from aircraft manufacture) is mated with bodywork that mixes aluminium and composite materials. The architecture's flexibility is further demonstrated by its use in the DBR9 racing car, where it is combined with carbon-fibre composite body panels to produce a modern race car of rare beauty.
The Rapide features the metal side strakes, another signature feature, while the doors feature Aston Martin's unique 'swan wing' design, opening upwards at a 12-degree angle away from the kerb to provide greater access. The rear doors cut unexpectedly deep into the flank below the C-pillar, increasing the width of the opening to improve access. At 5m long, the Rapide is 30cm longer than a DB9, and only 140kg heavier. "Aston Martin should always be about the proportions," Reichman says. "Although the Rapide is slightly taller than the DB9, the proportion of the section is the same, allowing the flowing lines to encase a spacious passenger compartment."
An Aston Martin is about elegance, power and innovation, a bespoke form constructed to high standards that provide the model definition of 21st century design and engineering execution.
2010 Porsche Panamera
Porsche Panamera is the latest model coming from Porsche. But although it will debut in 2009, its history does not start in here. Porsche started the project 16 years ago, but because of financial problems they needed to abandon it. When Wendelin Wiedeking came in charge, he came with new ideas that not only saved Porsche but also made possible the launch of new models.
Although not yet officially announced, it is rumored that Porsche will use the new Panamera platform to build another new model, a GT Coupe replacing the '90s 944/928 models. The two front engined cars will share at least 60 per cent of all parts including the platform, the engines (as the most costly autonomous part), transmissions (the second most costly) and suspension corner modules (the third most costly individual single part of a vehicle), amid others.
A specific fine-tuning of the common components, a different electronic mapping and different suspension spring and damping values will ensure that the Panamera and the GT Coupe will be two distinct vehicles with characters appropriated for their destinations. At a broader level, parts will also be shared with the equally front engined Cayenne range.
Therefore all three models - Cayenne, Panamera and the GT Coupe – are expected to be offered with a range of normally aspirated and turbocharged V8 (already in use on the Cayenne) and V10 engines (derived from the extreme Carrera GT) ranging between 4 and 6 liters of displacement and producing power values amid 300 and 650 bhp. It is unlikely that the Panamera and the GT Coupe will use Cayenne's four-wheel drive system. A traditional rear-wheel drive with optimized weight distribution due to transaxle-setup of the gearboxes is expected to provide the desired level of performance and handling.
Wearing the D1 Project Code-name the new four-door coupe will feature a tall roof for easy entry and exit, and enough luggage room in the rear for a vacation. The Panamera is anticipated to carry a price tag ranging between $125,000 and $175,000
Mercedes CLS-Class
The Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class will kick off model year 2007 with three newly developed engines, even better safety and a more extensive range of standard equipment. The four-door Coupe is powered by the world's first petrol engine featuring piezoelectric direct injection and spray-guided combustion. The 215 kW/ 292 hp six-cylinder engine of the CLS 350 CGI consumes about ten percent less fuel than a comparable V6 petrol engine with port injection.
The CLS 500 will be equipped with the new V8 engine from the S-Class, whose output of 285 kW/388 hp is about 26 percent higher than that of the previous eight-cylinder engine. Another new development is the CLS 63 AMG, whose V8 naturally aspirated engine generates 378 kW/ 514 hp. Mercedes-Benz is enhancing the vehicle's standard range of safety features by adding the PRE-SAFE anticipatory occupant protection system and flashing brake lights.
The world's first direct petrol injection system with spray-guided combustion points the way ahead for passenger car petrol engines, and will be available in the new CLS 350 CGI from the third quarter of 2006. The engine's innovative injection procedure makes for much better fuel and thermodynamic efficiency than the wall-guided combustion process previously employed with direct injection. With a fuel consumption of 9.1–9.3 litres per 100 kilometres(62.13 miles) in the European driving cycle, the six-cylinder Coupé has a range of approximately 70 kilometres(43.49 miles) on one tankful (80 litres).
The main advantage of the CGI engine (CGI = Stratified-Charged Gasoline Injection) lies in the stratified operating mode from which it takes its name. In this mode the engine is run with high excess air and thus excellent fuel efficiency. Now, thanks to multiple injection, it is for the first time possible to extend this lean-burn operating mode to higher rpm and load ranges too. During each power stroke, a series of injections takes place, spaced just fractions of a second apart. This has the effect of significantly improving mixture formation, combustion and fuel consumption.
Low fuel consumption and excellent power delivery are not at odds with each other on the second-generation Mercedes -Benz direct petrol injection model. On the contrary, the engine delivers 15 kW/20 hp more power than the conventional-injection V6 and four percent more torque. Thus the CGI engine combines its excellent fuel economy with a level of effortless driving enjoyment that is unprecedented in the six-cylinder segment. This allows the new CLS 350 CGI to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h(62.13 mph) in just 6.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 250 km/h(155.34 mph) (electronically limited).
Maserati Quattroporte
The new Maserati Quattroporte – designed by the famous Pininfarina house – is he ultimate embodyment of qualities for which Italy is well-known worldwide: respect of beauty and good living, style, sophisticated engineering, genuinely sporty temperament and alluring exclusivity.
Other features also make this new Maserati a truly exclusive car: the compact, light, sophisticated 4.2-liter V8 engine that punches out 400 bhp; the Skyhook automatic damping system; the renowned MSP (Maserati Stability Program); electronically controlled power steering; and a powerful braking system.
What makes the Maserati Quattroporte absolutely irresistible is the combination of the technical solutions, the lack of any fussy details or complications, the sensuality of a line created by the world's most famous stylists and a sophisticated bespoke leather and wood interior personalized to suit each individual owner.
Although there are other premium sedans that offer equal or greater luxury for less money, the Maserati Quattroporte is certainly the most exclusive and possesses the most flair among the sport-oriented luxury sedans.

Terrific Fall salad, great if you like assertive flavors. Made a beautiful presentation. Cooked to recipe but plated the spinach, fruit & onions without the liquid, nuts. Then drizzled just a bit of the hot dressing over the spinach to wilt. (You can add more dressing to taste.)

I have made this recipe several times, and it is always a huge hit. I add Gorgonzola crumbles and sometimes seared duck breast to make it a main dish. I have also used apricots in place of the plums and had great results.
