" Of all the "Biographies" about Hunter that have come out in the last year, this is definitely the best. William was a friend to Hunter, had an academic history with him, and his book shows his interest in Hunter's work, more so than just tawdry gossip. It has far fewer inaccuracies than the others. William also managed to put out the book while dealing with his own health issues. So Huge congratulations to him. As Hunter's wife, I highly recommend this book to you!
until next time, your friend,
Anita Thompson"
So much has been written about Hunter S. Thompson, and his story is so mythic in its sweep, that it is difficult to summarize his career without restating stereotypes that have already been digested like so much mescaline by tens of thousands, if not millions, of his fans. With careful aim, McKeen avoids these trappings with "Outlaw Journalist." There is very little of the hero worship and simple recounting of drugs and carousing that typify a story about Hunter S. Thompson. An acquaintance of Thompson's and a professor of journalism at the University of Florida Gainesville, McKeen is uniquely situated to provide an atypical contribution to the growing cannon of criticism and analysis on such an outrageous and singular subject that is refreshingly divergent and illuminating in its academic classicism and straightforward tradition. In the David McCullough sense. In the Doris Kearns Goodwin sense. Which I felt was a fairly appropriate comparison for "Outlaw Journalist," and then I got to page 216 and learned that Hunter once ran off with the Goodwin's babysitter. It's one amusing tale of many in "Outlaw Journalist," a biography that is as good, fulfilling, and devoted to its topic as anything by McCullough or Goodwin, never shying away from the realities of its famous subject, but also moderating such antics with an academic examination of craft.
McKeen's achievement resides in his balance and restraint. He tempers the excessive and unconventional biographical information that all readers will find fascinating in the life and times of Hunter S. Thompson with literary analysis that seems to be so lacking in other works about him, and so important for why Thompson is a relevant writer who demands to be read. It is McKeen's focus on Thompson's writing that make "Outlaw Journalist" an impressive and worthwhile read. McKeen methodically interweaves historical enlightenment with Thompson's development as a writer, including both contextual influences and progression in his literary style.
Though McKeen provides plenty of anecdotes teeming with recreational hubris, the majority of the stories he shares pointedly illuminate who Hunter was as a person instead of merely indulging in clichés, hero worship, and perverse fascination with the glamour of substance abuse that only reinforce the stale theme of Thompson as some kind of mere cultural jester. We learn that while Hunter was indeed a difficult child growing up and a budding delinquent with an early disdain for authority, he was an aspiring scholar as well; starting a newspaper, reading Thucydide's account of the Peloponnesian wars, and leading his friends to the library for bouts of reading between rounds of raising hell. We learn that Thompson broke into a morgue as an adult and stole his recently still-born daughter in order to bury her at home after the doctors had informed him that they would "dispose of" it. These are remarkable instances that McKeen shares, ones far removed from the madness and myths that so commonly surround Hunter S. Thompson's reputation and tradition.
Writing about a man with a searing, vicious wit, McKeen proves himself to be a capable biographer of such an individual by being quite funny as well. In a biography's pursuit in separating fact from fiction, McKeen deals with the legends surrounding Thompson's firing from Time magazine early in his career. Did he just leave? Was he fired for insubordination and the destruction of a vending machine? Or did he create such a story to enhance his reputation as a rebel? McKeen settles the matter, telling us, "The truth is probably somewhere in between. One certainty is that Hunter and vending machines never got along." That clears it up. Especially as a chronicler of Hunter S. Thompson, someone notorious for his exaggeration and paranoid drama, one is smart to ironically understate things as McKeen does in "Outlaw Journalist." Even though McKeen insists that Thompson's landmark work, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," was a heightened version of reality, that Hunter and Acosta talked about the murder of Ruben Salazar and the merits of Acosta's case against the city of Los Angeles while they were in Las Vegas, McKeen does quickly remind us that, "They also took a lot of drugs and ran amuck." And that confirms things.
McKeen's is an all-encompassing, enthusiastic biography, taking the reader with Hunter through the struggles, the poverty, the rejection, the antics, the jobs, and traveling with him from Louisville, Florida, New York, Puerto Rico, Big Sur, South America, San Francisco, and Colorado. "Outlaw Journalist" paddles through the mandatory rapids of Thompson's life: the rebellious childhood, the time in the Air Force and early struggles, the breakout of "Hell's Angels," the success of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72" and onto the waterfall of his later life with its struggle to cope with the myth he created and the reputation that enveloped him while his writing deconstructed into self-imitation and desperate regurgitation.
McKeen is a dutiful docent through this sprawling, unruly life, taking us to Thompson's experience at the 1968 Democratic National Convention and showing how it galvanized and politically radicalized him, even peeping into his life for a rare moment of tears from the stoic man as a result of the violence he witnessed in Chicago. We observe the beginning of Thompson's relationship with illustrator Ralph Steadman and their infamous coverage of the Kentucky Derby. We see Thompson react to Watergate, his rising notoriety and celebrity, and the incessant struggles with money and finances that colored his entire life. McKeen tells us when productive-and-prolific Hunter stopped and cocaine-snorting Hunter took over, all the while detailing the marital deterioration, mediocre speaking engagements, and infidelities that were a part of his private and professional life. The reader sees Thompson's appearance as the character Uncle Duke in the Doonesbury comic strip and his slow devolution into a prisoner of his own cult. We have front row seats for the great political writing that made Thompson so popular and become almost immediately impossible as his own fame became too unwieldy to be a true reporter. We witness Thompson's legendary relationship with Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone magazine. We follow him through his divorce, his time spent in Key West and his extended relationship with Laila Nabulsi, who would go on to produce the film adaptation of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."
McKeen's research and capabilities in fully realizing his subject's environment and influences is splendid. As McKeen is certain to inform us about the idiosyncrasies of Hunter's neighborhood growing up as well as the day-to-day activities of Eglin Air Force Base, so too does he provide an appropriate history of journalism, such as the Wall Street Journal's little-person/big-picture approach to explanatory journalism that was becoming increasingly popular as Hunter started in the industry. McKeen also traces the rise of New Journalism with the growing prominence of writers like Tom Wolf and Gay Talese using the techniques of fiction in journalism. In order to place Thompson in the tradition of other writers and journalists, as well as the larger socio-economic puzzle that he was a piece of, McKeen also brushes up the reader on changes in TV journalism and politics, briefly noting the changes television brought to campaign coverage, the increasing grandiosity and theatrical nature of conventions, and the influence of writers like Theodore H. White.
One major appeal of Hunter S. Thompson in our current society of celebrity-worship, a fixation Thompson himself was subjected to, is that his story is a name-dropping extravaganza. He was friends with famous people. Not only was he friends with famous people, he did shocking and hilarious things with famous people that anyone could be jealous of doing with their humble "nobody" friends. Even Jackie Onassis called to check on her kids when she learned Hunter was staying in the same house as them. Such anecdotes of fear and adoration for Thompson, while serving a biographical purpose, are even more ironic and fascinating as McKeen posits them inside a larger survey of journalism, chronicling its rise in the 1970s into a pulpit for celebrity worship.
McKeen puts us with Hunter as events unfolded in subtle and effective ways that ground and illuminate Hunter's work historically, such as McKeen's note that Hunter's article on Ruben Salazar in Rolling Stone appeared alongside a profile of the young singer Michael Jackson. These tidbits make "Outlaw Journalist" an exemplary biography, one that doesn't extol and isolate its subject as a detached and god-like idol, but as a talented and unique man who worked hard and contributed to the culture he was a part of.
Beyond the lively biographical chronology, placed within larger industrial and historical trends and changes, however compulsory, absorbing, and compellingly told, it is "Outlaw Journalist's" focus on Thompson's craft that elevates it beyond mere portraiture and profile. McKeen roots Thompson in the lofty, storied lineage of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry Miller, and Jack Kerouac, deferring to an old friend from Louisville to summarize Thompson with, "Philosophically, I always felt that he was firmly based in the stoicism of Hemingway and the hedonism of Fitzgerald." But McKeen does not stop there, going so far as quoting directly from Hemingway so as to compare the two wordsmith's similar sparse, straightforward styles. McKeen does a fine job of analyzing Thompson's writing itself, deconstructing and examining it as metajournalism, journalism about journalism, and "getting the story."
McKeen's work insists that despite Hunter's decadent reputation as an avowed drug user and vicious social critic given to belligerent ranting and raving, he was a very meticulous writer and cared about every word. McKeen relates a story in which a friend described Hunter sitting on a seawall in Cozumel, "reading a $1.25 newspaper that would have cost a more sober man 25 cents." Hunter saw that and said, "No. No...it is better if we make it 24 cents." Such scrutiny is what made Hunter great and such detail and inclusion inside of the larger chronological narrative of his life is what makes "Outlaw Journalist" such a superb profile of Hunter S. Thompson. It reveals a man, however eccentric and overshadowed by entertaining flaws, who was admirably committed to his craft.
McKeen illuminates and examines unpublished and lesser known manuscripts and articles that reveal Thompson's progression as a writer, such as "The Gun Lobby," a `bridge book' between "Hell's Angels" and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," that followed Hunter's shock at the assassination of Robert Kennedy. McKeen notes that it was written in an unusual style: "Rather than use the just-the-facts approach the subject would seem to require, Hunter turned it into a long narrative, with himself as the central figure, as the window through which to view America's violent character." Hunter S. Thompson as we know him, was born. From there, McKeen takes us along as we learn about Hunter's procedures, his writing methods, his work habits, his relationships with editors and assistants, and his writing style as assembly that came in bursts of brilliance. McKeen details Hunter S. Thompson's Gonzo Journalism as a process of aggregation that required a large contribution from editors, hand-holders, baby-sitters, and enablers. Despite this coven of crutches hobbling around drinking this man's twisted brew, McKeen goes to great pains in insisting that Thompson was not the careless, drug-gobbling fiend that so many take him for. "It had never been easy," McKeen tells us, "but Hunter had the gift of making his work appear so. His legions of stoned admirers probably really thought he took a hundred hits of acid before sitting down to write. But the craftsmanship those close to him saw as he agonized over his words spoke to how much went into making it look like a breeze."
Analyzing and examining Hunter's prose, McKeen deconstructs and isolates the writer's work, detailing his specific themes and styles: the use of a confederate/sidekick, false editor's notes, himself at the center of stories, "getting the story" as the primary story, and wild flights of fancy. Such basic analysis and identification of elements familiar to any casual Hunter S. Thompson reader seems simple, but as McKeen explains, "His narrative device, in which getting the story became the story, fit his political reporting perfectly. It allowed him to present a scene, then ask the questions readers asked. As he questioned his sources, readers were collaborators piecing together facts. Hunter presented himself as a manic and somewhat inept reporter, a clever way to mask his shrewd style." Thompson wore a cloak of ineptitude and ignorance that allowed him to say things other journalists could not. Such a device permitted Hunter to contrast himself, the vulnerable hack/drug fiend, to the slimy politicians and establishment stalwarts he was writing about and railing against.
McKeen's biography paints Hunter S. Thompson as a man who was indeed a special writer with immense talent and without rival, but hardly someone without significant flaws. Further evidence of McKeen's balanced portrait and refusal to engage in blatant infatuation and praise is his inclusion of Thompson's most obvious failures and disappointments. The Ali-Foreman fight was one of the biggest stories of the year and Hunter S. Thompson was there to cover it. Instead he sold his tickets and floated in a swimming pool of marijuana during the fight. Norman Mailer grumbled that Hunter's fans were too easily pleased and would accept anything from their man. McKeen agrees: "Hunter could have given his fans a story about a nightmare assignment in a horrible, uncomfortable city. He could have written about smuggling elephant tusks into Kennedy Airport or his intense paranoia about the Zairean officials and their attitudes about drug use. His fans would have accepted anything, and loved it." Inside McKeen's framing of "Outlaw Journalist," this isn't so much a condemnation of Hunter's fans and their lack of taste and sophistication as much as it is a testament to Thompson's abilities and prowess as a writer and an essential thread, however disappointing, in understanding Hunter S. Thompson. He was good, very good, able to divine a story from any experience, but in many instances, simply didn't.
With Thompson's time in Vietnam, McKeen further explores the brash and absurd nature of Thompson. He was no doubt a man controlled by considerable vices, but a man who was aware of his flaws and made such afflictions into a semi-profitable and certainly prosperous career. But in Vietnam, as at the Ali-Foreman fight, Thompson is exposed as a reckless and disappointing hack who he had made a career of admonishing. Beyond McKeen's recounting of Thompson's "country-club approach" in Vietnam and his silly escapade to Hong Kong in order to buy gadgets and electronics when Saigon finally fell, McKeen arrives at his most severe criticism near the end of the book. McKeen observes that Thompson had prided himself on "getting away with it" and had turned such an act into a major theme in his writing to great success, but Thompson spent his later years trapped in a mythology he had created and stuck in a rut of self-imitation: "He had worked hard, but too often had taken the easy way out, seeing what he could get away with."
It would be easy for a biographer to connect the dots left unconnected by Thompson's late-career waning, obvious failures, and suicide and discern the form of a Cautionary Tale or Obnoxious Farce. McKeen does neither. Instead he colors in several important aspects of Hunter S. Thompson's life that have only been lightly shaded in by the pencils of blind praise and celebrity worship with the permanent marker of serious literary analysis and balanced, cogent perspective. Thompson would no doubt be miffed by such a reasoned, straightforward telling, but the literary community and fans should be thankful as McKeen's work on Hunter S. Thompson is a fitting, balanced portrait of a man who is, and has been, too easily caricatured, mythologized, and blindly embraced. Properly loaded, aimed, and fired, "Outlaw Journalist" hits the target.

Field of Dreams (1989)
101 mins
Costner's Baseball Dreams
It's okay, honey. I... I was just talking to the cornfield - Ray Kinsella
Despite the long list of baseball movies to have hit the big screen over the last few decades there is one actor who you could say has become synonymous with the genre, that being Kevin Costner. Whilst "Field of Dreams" is not for me Kevin Costner's best baseball movie it is one which will carry you away on a trip into the fanciful with its journey into baseball legends, that is as long as you allow it to. That is an important point as "Field of Dreams" is a movie detached from reality with a fanciful flare to it and if you approach it expecting a serious sports movie then you are likely to think its nostalgic nonsense that becomes cheesy in trying to be inspirational.
Having got married, started a family and settled down as a farmer in Iowa, Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner - Bull Durham) is startled when one day whilst tending his corn he hears a mysterious voice telling him "if you build it, he will come". He's even more shocked when he gets a vision of a baseball field in the middle of one of his crops. Believing it's a message that he should build the baseball field and with the support of his wife, Ray pursues his vision. Along the way he encounters many memorable people, such as one time legendary writer Terence Mann (James Earl Jones - Coming to America), Dr. Archibald 'Moonlight' Graham (Burt Lancaster - Tough Guys) and the legendary Shoeless Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta - The Iceman).
When "Field of Dreams" starts it's firmly set in the real world with a nice intro using old photos, home cinema style footage and an amusing voice over from Kevin Costner explaining how he, Ray Kinsella, ended up married with a child and a farmer in Iowa. But as soon as the intro is done with it starts you on the journey into fantasy with the mysterious voice which Ray hears whilst tending his corn field. Taken seriously you would say that "Field of Dreams" spirals out of control as it becomes more fanciful and to be frank far fetched. But then it also has a charm about it, bringing to life, quite literally, the nostalgia and legends of baseball which if you allow the warmth of the tale to engulf you then it will charm you from start to finish.
It is this side of the movie, the delving into the archives of baseball which makes "Field of dreams" such a charming movie as well as often being quite humorous. For anyone with the least bit interest in baseball will find the historical references, the legendary and not so legendary names mentioned to be absolutely fascinating. You actually learn a surprising lot about the history of the sport, especially for someone who enjoys the sport but not fanatical about it. It manages to capture the magic of the game and the stuff which makes legends out of its numerous stars.
But "Field of Dreams" is not just a sports movie which digs up the legendary past of baseball as when you allow it to charm you it also speaks to you in another way. It has messages about life, reaching for your dreams and the importance of relationships. It is again a part of the movie which only really hits you when you allow it to win you over with its charms. Otherwise the messages may come over as sentimental and sometimes cheesy nonsense. In many ways it has a slight Capra-esque feel about it and would more than likely be the sort of thing you would expect Frank Capra to have directed if he had still been making movies at the end of the 80's.
One of the nicest things about "Field of Dreams" is the performance of Kevin Costner who mixes drama, charm and humour in equal measure to make you empathise with his character, Ray Kinsella. But the stand out thing is that it doesn't feel like Costner is creating a character rather than drawing on his own life experiences and his passion for baseball making it all the more believable when it really shouldn't be. When Ray Kinsella meets Shoeless Joe Jackson the wonderment on his face comes across so naturally as if Costner himself is meeting one of his idols for the first time.
Accompanying Kevin Costner there is the entertaining Amy Madigan as his wife Annie Kinsella, a quick talking spirited woman who despite all logic decreeing other wise supports her husband in what seems like a moment of fantasy or even mid life crisis. Plus there is James Earl Jones who offers more than just his booming voice to the role of author Terence Mann, making a perfect companion on this journey into baseball legends. It's the supporting performances as much as Costner's which helps make "Field of Dreams" both charming yet also humorous with great moments of appropriate satire which stops it all becoming too fanciful.
What this all boils down to is that you will either love or hate "Field of Dreams" depending on whether you allow it's fanciful, mystical journey into the realms of baseball legends to charm you. If you can't get passed how far fetched it really is then it will be a disappointment but let it charm you and it will fill you with nostalgia, make you laugh and also make you think about your own life, relationships as well as dreams.

I was in awe of the views from the balcony. The beach was even better. not too many people at all and the water was so clear you could see the bottom sand. I thought about cancelling since i lost my job but with a diagnosis of cancer a week after that i decided that my husband and I needed the break. It was just what we needed. The owner was very helpful if we ever needed anything and he as some very sweet dogs that dont ever bark and will greet you. I spent one night hen i could not sleep just petting two and they are so sweet. the place is tastefully furnished and kept very clean. we loved the hot tub and the whirlpool tub in the bathroom. we will definitely be back.
We rented for 6 days and absolutely loved the place. The views from inside and on the patio to the beach and sunsets were amazing and loved every moment of it. Mark (caretaker) was extremely helpful and always available when anything was needed. The views of the sunset each night from the front room and patio were breathtaking and the walk to the beach only took a minute or 2. The hot tub, sauna and Jacuzzi tub were amazing as well. Bonnie (our dog) had the time of her life and made a lot of friends with other dogs and people. The owner called to make sure everything was good and if we needed anything at all which was impressive. Will rent again and again and again! Highly recommend if you are looking for a large living area with beautiful views and relaxation!
Rented the 2nd floor for 6 days and had and amazing time. The nightly views of the sunsets were breathtaking. The house was well maintained and very clean. Mark (caretaker) was always available for anything we needed. The owner called to check on how we were and how we liked the place and if we needed anything. The hot tub and sauna were a relaxing luxury as well as the Jacuzzi bath tub. We enjoyed playing the arcade games daily. Will be going back in the near future! And Bonnie (our dog) was in heaven as well!
We loved this place and our dog loved it too. We would definitely recommend to others who are looking for a relaxing escape!
Highly recommend if you need some time away to relax. Views of Lake Michigan from every room and completely quiet. The deck is perfect for a night cap or early morning coffee. You won't be disappointed. Great restaurants and shopping very close. Enjoy morning sunrises and evening sunsets on the beach that takes you a minute to walk to. We will be back!!!!
Spectacular location. Scenic views of Lake Michigan from nearly every room. Enjoyed the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Perfect pet-friendly get-away!
One hour and 20 minutes from downtown Chicago.

I've been visiting this place since it opened and not once have I been let down. Service is top class.
Such lovely people, they do a great job and my husband and myself happily travel from St Neots to come and see Jamie. I didn't realize there was so much more I could do with my curly hair til I came here. Keep up the great work!

Product Description
Verso Prologue Tan Cover for Kindle, Kindle Touch, and Kindle PaperwhiteBy LightWedge
It's rare for a book to become a classic overnight. Just ask Henry David Thoreau. He only managed to publish two books during his lifetime, both of which were regarded as strange and weird. He even paid for the printing of one out of his own pocket, a 1,000-volume run of A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. Fewer than 300 sold before his death.
Not until the 1920s did Thoreau earn his due, and today, it's difficult to find a high school graduate that wasn't required pick up his ode to natural living, Walden.
Like the literary palate of the reading public, the Verso Prologue e-reader might also require a short breaking-in period. But that's because it's hand constructed of super-durable, high-quality materials. Namely, animal-friendly "leather" on the outside. Don't worry; you won't miss the cow. You will quite pleased with the classy look, supple feel, and impressive durability of the Prologue. A hand distressed finish, carefully embossed embellishments, and antique foil stampings add sophistication.
On the inside, advanced microfiber engineered for maximum softness cradles your device when closed while patent-pending silicone-enhanced corner elastic straps hold it in place—a grip guaranteed for the lifetime of your device.
- Fits your lifestyle
- Patented strap system
- Slim and lightweight
- Detail of texture
- Easily folds back
The Prologue Tan Cover is part of the Verso Prologue Collection
Wrap a throwback cover design around the latest in tech innovation? Cool. Like handcrafted bindings of old, Prologue covers feature details that tell a story: hand-distressed finishes, carefully embossed embellishments, and intricate foil stamping. Each Prologue cover is constructed by hand so each is a bit different. What's old is new again. The past is prologue.

It has nice muted maroon color, nice brown leather binding, textured cover, stitching, and gold paint trim on the front and binding that is antiqued a bit with imperfections that are a nice touch. The inside has a material that seems nice too that isn't just plastic. Its weight is well balanced. It isn't feather light, but isn't too heavy either. The cover folds back easily, which offers 2 additional advantages. If your hand cramps up holding the kindle alone because of how thin it is, with the cover folded back it adds some thickness that really helps make it more comfortable. Also, it gives you a little bit of a shelf to slip your finger under or rest on something that makes it more comfortable to hold.
It has a pocket that runs the whole length, unlike some corner pockets of some other covers that have a design flaw. Other corner pockets can curl slightly at the corner in the middle of the cover, even if not putting anything into it, and come into contact with the screen, causing it to do things, like order books without your knowledge. This one does *not* have that design flaw. But if you cram stuff in there, you could still cause a problem, so I advise against using the pocket.Read more ›
Customer service was prompt... After emailing Lightwedge about the issue, they responded that this is a known issue and that they would send me a replacement with a plastic insert to prevent color transfer as well as a discount on my next purchase.
This is good, but what of the ones still on the shelves? At the least, there should be some sort of recall or notification that would warn of potential damage to the customer's reader and steps to mitigate it.
I've been using the Verso Prologue cover for a couple of weeks now, with a few different e-book readers. In general, I found it to be a pretty good e-book reader cover, but I did have a couple of issues with it. Read on for a discussion of Pros, Cons, and Other observations.
Beautiful Design: If you like old library volumes, leather bound editions, big comfy chairs with overstuffed cushions and ornate upholstery, you should like this. There is a leather-like (not real) binding and corners. The corners and spine have elegant gold leaf embellishments. Very classy looking.
Soft Mircofiber Interior: The interior fabric is soft microfiber that will be very gentle on your device.
Interior Pocket: Very handy! I like to keep a sheet of paper handy for jotting notes by hand, along with product instructions and my proof of purchase whenever I can. This pocket lets me do that. Another brand name cover by a different manufacturer has a similar design, but no interior pocket. It was a bit less expensive.
Versatile Fit: It fits the Kindle 4 just fine, and a Nook Simple Touch and Simple Touch with GlowLight. With the Kindle 4, there is some room around the edges of the device: at least .25" at the top and right, .375" at the bottom, and .5" at the left. With the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight, the extra room is .25" top and bottom, .125" on the right, and .375" on the left.
Sturdy Straps: The straps are thick, not overly stretchy, and they hold the device firmly in place. It takes a good bit of effort to get the wider Nook devices into the cover, but once in, the fit is fine.
Made by Hand: Pretty impressive. How many things are handmade any more.Read more ›
I was slightly annoyed by the packaging, however. It comes with inserts that contain magnets. This is very convenient to keep the cover closed if it were on display in a store. On the other hand, it was very misleading when I got excited that my cover would have a magnet that kept itself closed. There is no way to leave the inserts in and still secure the kindle at the same time; I tried. To be fair, the item description doesn't say anything to mislead one about a magnetic closure. I just couldn't help getting my hopes up when I initially opened my shipment and noticed the magnetic closure aspect.
All in all, I am extremely happy with the quality and functionality of the product and would still buy it again in a heartbeat.

Chairman and Founder of Mastermind Smart Girls, Fulvio Inserra has said of the launch of Mastermind Smart Girls, 'It's already hard enough these days for women to be truly successful in business, let alone to make their mark in the ICT industry. I wanted to do something positive about this and in doing so, help women carve their own niche in the ICT industry. This isn't a man versus women thing. It's more about acknowledging and leveraging the value that women can bring to the ICT industry and as a result, showing that together we can make a genuine difference in improving the strike rate for the delivery of successful project outcomes.'
Launched in January 2012, Smart Girls - which is a 100% owned subsidiary of The Mastermind Group - has identified the immediate need to fill what it has identified as a void in the ICT sector by addressing the lack of effective Project Management and Business Analysis services in the ICT industry.
'Project Management and Business Analysis skills are critical for delivering successful projects and outcomes and we believe that women are the untapped pool of natural skills and talent to address this gap in a professional, flexible and methodical way,' Mr Inserra noted.
'We believe that the natural talents that women possess will help address the void of effective communication and organisational skills that exists today in the ICT industry. For instance, women are extremely good at achieving outcomes in the most optimal way. Smart Girls is designed to foster these inherent skills whilst at the same time opening up and creating opportunities and support for other women in the work place who possess the same skill sets and talents - all of which are in high demand. Our focus is on meeting the needs of professional women by engaging them on workplace arrangements that suit their varying lifestyles,' he added.

Backstage Update – Paul Heyman's WWE Return & Plans
By Ryan Clark on November 20, 2013
At this time, WWE's plan is to distance Curtis Axel and Ryback from Paul Heyman by claiming that they are no longer, "Paul Heyman guys". Heyman will likely remain off of WWE TV until it is time to bring Brock Lesnar back. That will be happening in early 2014.
At that time, the talk is that Lesnar will feud with a babyface Ryback, with the idea that Heyman sent Lesnar for revenge due to the beating's Heyman took at the hands of Punk during the feud with Ryback. Of course, this all depends on what WWE plans to do with Ryback as there is major backstage heat on him right now for his ego, bad attitude, lack of in-ring progress and other things.
We'll keep you posted as we hear more.

In my theme I am using this code to show the featured/thumbnail image of the post:

But Simple Lightbox does not hook into the code on the front end and the link goes to the image source.
I tried adding

Amazon Exclusive: Charlie Price on The Interrogation of Gabriel James
Years ago, during my work in at-risk schools and psych hospitals, I heard a story of a brother and sister and their secret home life that deeply troubled me. In that kind of work you hear some disturbing stories, but this one really got under my skin and I began to imagine what it would be like to live under those conditions on a daily basis. Further, how that would play out for the entire family, and still further, the surrounding community. That rumination became the inspiration for The Interrogation of Gabriel James.
When a family is twisted, the members often feel powerless at home, and instead, act out their rage and frustration in some way in their neighborhood, or in their town. Or maybe they keep it under wraps, hide it as a child and teenager, and it bursts out later in criminal behavior or mental illness or alcohol and drug addiction. I wanted to work with my feelings about this situation, so I wrote a story about the girl and the boy who discovered what was happening in her house.
I read that to my writing group and, after that evening, put the story in a file and expected to be done with it. A couple of years after that, life circumstance (translation: I got in a huge disagreement with the owner of the school where I was Academic Dean and he fired me.) gave me the opportunity (translation: six months of unemployment checks) and encouragement (translation: Chris Crutcher, my old at-risk school Director and the hugely talented author of several young adult books like Staying Fat for Sarah Burns, told me I should write a book since I had wanted to for years).
My wife was fully behind the idea (translation: willing to continue her work as a psychotherapist and help support our family) so, like many first time authors do, I wrote a book about my own coming of age and starting shopping it to agents. While I was waiting I had time to keep writing and there had been another story that kept troubling me, the disappearance of a girl my daughter's age in our community. Gone, after a day at high school, never seen again. Did she get a ride with someone that kidnapped her? What did the person do with her body? An awful story. I began to write about that, hoping to get it out of my system.
That story grew into my first published book, Dead Connection. While that was being revised, I thought about what I would write next, remembered the brother and sister and their difficult home life, unearthed the story, and wrote the first version of The Interrogation of Gabriel James.
I set the book in Billings not only because I grew up there, but because I knew the city had become a national symbol for rejecting racism and hate crimes with the "Not In Our Town" movement in the early nineties and has continued to the present day. When I had moved to Billings from the South in the 5th grade, I had been astounded to hear Indians sometimes described with the same terms that had been applied to African Americans. I was struck at how fluid racism was, geographically. Just pick your local minority and give them negative qualities. So racism was based on fear and ignorance with no necessary experience or interpersonal contact.
I wanted to include that situation in the book and developed the character of Danny Two Bull, a runner from Crow Agency, who had come to the much larger high school in Billings to run against the best competition in the state and win. I knew that would make him a hero for many and a target for some.
Finally, I wanted to include a character with a mental illness who possessed qualities both admirable and humorous. Durmond Williams, patterned after men I met working at the county psych unit, was a dumpster diver with a hundred scams, an irrepressible spirit -- the rhyming prince of street warriors. I fleshed out the cast of characters: Gabe -- the tenacious boy who uncovers the secret, his cross country teammates, his girlfriends, his mother, the mentally ill and staff of the local community center, the local law officers, and so on. I showed the book to a publishing professional and the person said, "this is four books, way too complicated, cut it."
Over the next three years I wrote two new books and about 12 complete versions of The Interrogation of Gabriel James from different points of view. The one from the brother, Doctor Death, was upsetting, unsettling to me as I wrote and I stopped before I finished. I couldn't stand even imagining living in his world. Fortunately for me about three years ago I had an idea that changed the form of the book. What if I could start at the end, the aftermath, and convey the events that followed the deaths from the point of view of a police interrogation. Two months of action would be collapsed into one day! I was actually hopping (you can ask my wife) with the excitement of the challenge. Of course I didn't realize what it would take to literally shuffle the story like you would a deck of cards and then rearrange the cards in suits so in the end the reader would get all the information in a comprehensible package. Sheesh. Never again?
At finish, I wound up with a book that thrilled me, which I was finally proud to offer as The Interrogation of Gabriel James.

The title summarizes the basic plot as the novel is Gabriel's first person rendering of his interrogation by Billings, Montana police regarding his knowledge of and involvement in a string of hate crimes, drug sales, and violence that have culminated in the deaths of two young men. The novel unfolds at a brisk pace, taking place almost entirely within the confines of an interrogation room, with Gabriel both answering questions aloud, and treating the reader to even greater detail through unspoken flashbacks. As the interrogation progresses, the story comes together and its dark truths begin to emerge.
I enjoyed the directness and speed at which the story unfolded, as well as crisp and authentic dialog. Price captures the intelligent young adult mind well in his Gabriel James character, and I was frequently impressed with his ability to take me back to that exciting time in my own life when adulthood was just visible on the horizon. From the little details of small city high school life, to the travails of dating and the general angsts of pursuing schoolwork, sports and the opposite sex, Price demonstrates a gift for portraying a mind in that unique and formulative period of development.Read more ›
While I didn't enjoy it, I can see where some might. Recommended especially for boys, those who like darker stories, and those who like first person.
