Andrew Strauss had just creamed his second ball for six – if that wasn't unusual enough, the first had dismissed him but turned out to be a no-ball – when the ugly side of the game reared its head: the ugly side of Howzat! that is.
"I'm watching telly," shouted my partner Sue, irritated by my exclamations at such an exciting start to the third Test, and threatening to propel a salt cellar of significant size in my direction. "Can't you go and play somewhere else?" It was a hurtful sledge and, wounded, I picked up the 8x8ins square of green baize, the twin dice that pass for bat and ball, and casting one last fond glance at Becky trying to lure Jason into her lair in Coronation Street, sloped up the stairs to continue England's first innings in the bedroom.
And a remarkable first innings it turned out to be: after losing their first four wickets for 44, presumably to the seam and swing of Chris Martin and Kyle Mills (although the "Classic Desktop Game", as the promotional blurb describes it, really needs a third dice to identify the wicket-takers: I'll get on to the manufacturers), the home team lost four wickets in a row to the lightning-fast reflexes of Brendon McCullum behind the stumps. Collingwood, Ambrose, Broad and Sidebottom were all tempted out of their ground as Daniel Vettori (presumably) made a nonsense of pre-match claims that the pacier men would dominate.
Broad, however, who this week declared his determination to become an international-class all-rounder, hit a career-best 84 on his home ground, sharing in an important seventh-wicket partnership with Ian Bell (75), before Sidebottom, with 28, Panesar with 17, and Jimmy Anderson advanced their team to a respectable 282 all out.
Statistics play an important part in cricket lore and students of that discipline might be interested in what came next: Tim Ambrose, quiet behind the stumps in the series so far, surpassed McCullum, his six stumpings in a disappointing New Zealand first innings of 178 bettering Kieran More's world record of five in India's 255-run thumping of the West Indies in Chennai more than 20 years ago – although his final victim, Iain O'Brien, will point to the stray toe-nail near the waste-paper basket that consigned him to his fate after a wayward roll. Truth be told, the dice was balanced precariously between Howzat and Six but recourse to the third umpire was not necessary: I simply lifted the offending nail from under the dice, deposited it in the bin and allowed gravity to take its course. O'Brien had to go.
So what was I doing playing Howzat in the first place? It was, like the game itself, pure chance. I was wandering around Waterstones in Wimbledon this afternoon, ostensibly hunting for Jospeh O'Neill's Netherland, the much-lauded novel linking 9/11 with the New York expatriate community's cricketing exploits (they didn't have it, and apparently they're not even going to get it), when my attention was captured by a stand of novelty items next to the cashier's desk. There, among the Kama Sutra trivial pursuits, the miniature travel scrabbles and Lord of the Rings magic sets I spotted it, packed tightly into a dark green box the size of a pack of paracetomol.
Instantly, in fact as surely and swiflty as if someone had bottled the smell of the changing room after boys' PE and invited me to have a sniff, I was transported back to my school days. The game that I had coveted above all others since jealously watching two of my friends playing it under a tree in the playground and ignoring my pleadings to be allowed to join in, was staring me in the face.
Then, rejected, I had been left to improvise. While they played on, regularly attracting a gaggle of classmates to form a circle around them – it must have been the deciding rubber of an Ashes series (all the time) – I was forced into a corner on my own with an ordinary dice, an exercise book and a Bic biro, my batsmen scoring with anything from one to five, but facing automatic dismissal when I landed on a six. For realism, whenever the tail threatened to wag in a Jason Gillespie-against-Bangladesh-sort of a way, I simply cheated and ignored all throws until it landed on the six.
But now, about 35 years later, was my chance to make up for those days – and for the princely sum of £4.99. It was too good an opportunity to miss. Especially because tomorrow I'm heading to Trent Bridge for a couple of days, but with the BBC website warning of light showers on the first day and light rain on the second, the chances are that John, a friend who I'm meeting there, and I will eschew the delights of the alcohol-free stand we're booked into, and head back to the Holiday Inn Express, Nottingham, for our own table-top series. And wash it down with a curry.
I hadn't intended to get it out tonight, but with the TV offering only The Apprentice or Trinny and Sussanha prancing around trying to create a mass naked sculpture on the Sussex Downs, my hand was forced. It proved to be an unpredictable evening – Sue called tails for New Zealand and put England into bat before returning her attention to Corrie, while Jacob Oram and Daniel Vettori threatened to pull off a remarkable turnaround with the bat in the fourth innings – but in these days of Hawk-Eye, Hotspots and Brian Lara's Sony Playstation computer simulation – one of nostalgic pleasure.
HOWZAT SCORECARD: Third Test, England v New Zealand, My Bedroom, June 2008, play began at 7.45pm
England 282 all out (Broad 84, Bell 75) and 278 all out (Collingwood 76, Pietersen 54, Broad 43 not out) beat New Zealand 178 all out (Redmond 85) and 336 all out (Oram 60, Flynn 57, McCullum 57, Vettori 43) by 46 runs. (Full scorecard will be printed according to demand).

Silence of the Grave
by Arnaldur Indridason
It's nice to discover a new crime writer especially one that has just, deservedly, won the CWA Gold Dagger. The Icelandic setting is captured superbly. I'll now hunt down and read his other books.
The archaeologists stopped work around 9.30 and Skarphedinn told Erlendur they would be back early the next morning. They had not found anything of note in the soil and had barely started stripping the vegetation above it. Erlendur asked whether they could not speed up the work a little, but Skarpheddin looked at him disdainfully and asked him if he wanted to destroy the evidence. They agreed that there was still no rush to dig down to the skeleton.

To say Istanbul has a rich history is like saying Rio has a nice beach. Istanbul is history written in stone. When you walk its streets, you're walking through the crossroads of dead empires — through Byzantium (established by the Greeks in the 7th century BC), Constantinople (the Christian capital of the Eastern Roman Empire) and the Ottoman Empire.
Modern Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and the fifth largest in the world. Straddling two continents, it's a beautiful mesh of European and Asian influences. As a tourist, you'll be amazed at how cultures overlap in every aspect of life in Istanbul. The cuisine, for example, is a mix of Balkan, Central Asian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influences, with a focus on local produce (the pomegranate is a particular favourite, showing up in salads and at juice stands).
The best place to start exploring Istanbul is Sultanahmet, where the amalgamation of east and west is most stark. There you'll find the Hagia Sophia, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (commonly known as the Blue Mosque), the Basilica Cistern, the Hippodrome and the Topkapi Palace — not to mention many hammams (Turkish baths) and restaurants. The Hagia Sophia is Istanbul in miniature. For nearly 900 years, the building served as an Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Constantinople. After the city fell to the Ottoman Empire, the cathedral served as a mosque from 1453 to 1931. It's now a museum open to the public. Inside you'll see elements from each of its incarnations. Some of its most beautiful features are mosaics depicting Jesus, Mary and other Christian figures that were uncovered in 1849, and a large mihrab (a niche pointing toward Mecca, Islam's holiest city) where the cathedral's altar once stood. The extraordinary, tall domed ceilings are a fantastic feat of engineering and one of the best examples of Byzantine architecture still standing.
The Grand Bazaar Istanbul
Treasure-hunt at the Grand Bazaar
If you're interested in history — and also want to get some shopping done — jump on the tram and hit the city's 500-year old shopping centre: the Grand Bazaar. Be ready to negotiate: this vast public market — one of the largest covered markets in the world — haggling is king. The Bazaar boasts over 3,000 stores and sees 250,000 visitors daily. Be sure to set aside plenty of time to sift through the treasures in every kiosk — everything from leather and gold pieces, to belly dancing costumes, to ceramic souvenirs.
As you wander the city, you'll cross paths with any number of stray dogs and cats, most of them quite friendly and affectionate. Free-roaming cats and dogs have been part of Istanbul's culture for centuries. The Turkish government employs people to catch stray dogs, spay or neuter them, vaccinate them, treat them for any illness, tag them and release them back where they were found. Cats are not tagged but are treated with respect by locals because of the high esteem they enjoy in Islamic traditions. Needless to say, if you give the strays some leftover meat, the locals won't mind.
Exercise caution — but feel free to visit
In 2013, images of mass protests against commercial development in Istanbul's Taksim Square splashed across TV and computer screens around the world. More than 3.5 million people took part in the protests, some of which ended in violent confrontations with police. But the city remains quite safe for tourists.
Canadians must obtain a visa to visit Turkey and tourists should take the same precautions they would in any large European city. Make sure your personal belongings, passports and other documents are secure at all times, exercise vigilance, follow the advice of local authorities and monitor local and international media. It's also wise to keep an eye on travel advisories; Turkey shares a border with Syria and Iraq and those border areas should be given a wide berth right now. But with 1,100 and 1,600 kilometres separating it from Syria and Iraq respectively, Istanbul remains a lovely oasis of calm for the Western traveller.

A Thinking Net…
May 26, 2013 Leave a comment
Are we able to map the connection between research and policy in the South?
A new initiative launched 'Politics & Ideas: a think net' is a joint effort of researchers and practitioners to produce and share innovative knowledge linking ideas and politics in developing and emerging economies. The initiative aims to think critically about the relations between ideas, research, and politics to support a more constructive use of research based evidence in policy making.
It is a Southern led space that aims to encourage researchers and practitioners to speak about their own challenges and share their perspectives about policy making as they encounter them at the local, national and regional levels. Visit this link to learn about the team behind Politics & Ideas: a think net. Initially this is a small team but hopefully will grow with new members, collaborators and associates. This initiative is inspired and nuanced by Enrique Mendizabal , Vanesa Weyrauch, Sherine Ghoneim and myself . :)

Winter is the time of snow and sleigh rides. On a ride with a family sleigh everybody can take part and have outdoor fun in a special way.
It does not need to be a Santa sleigh or an antique sled, but it should have the right size to fit the family and the horse/s.
If you want to buy a sleigh you might need to travel a bit, as in times when the automobile replaced the horse drawn sled, wealthy families sold them to rural areas, the sleds kind of "migrated" into the countryside. But again in some barns you can often find cheap sledges in need of repair.
You might find an antique one that needs total refurbishment and with a bit of talent you might be able to rebuild a little treasure. Usually all wooden parts and the shafts need to be replaced. Again, safety first!
There are different designs of sleds: One horse open-,two horse open-, Albany-, Round Back-, Portland-, Vis-à-vis-, bob-sleighs, one seater, two-, three- and four seater. Even buggy conversions exist, where you put the carriage on specially constructed sled runners.
Sledges do come in all different sizes, so you definitely will find the right size for your horse or pony.
Traditional colors range from green, dark blue, red and black to wooden varnished. A nice paint finish always looks very posh. A white sleigh is very nice for a winter wedding and with a decent flower decoration it could look absolutely fabulous.
Usually you travel with an open sledge, so you need to keep warm. A normal blanket might not be enough...in the old times they used thick furs (today we have got modern fabrics for those purposes) and often took little stoves with them, if the journey was long.
The horse is harnessed as for a carriage drive. There is one important difference: a sledge does usually not have a break and therefore a strong breeching is essential, no matter, if you use a single horse or two horses.
So, all we need now is..... Lots of snow!!!!!!!

More sea glass
What to do with all this sea glass? I thought I'd be able to drill it but the video tutorials I've watched feature some fancy machinery I do not possess. I tried a wire wrap but that's going to take a lot more practice before it's presentable, and I'm not sure how I feel about so much of the glass being covered up anyway. I do like the sea glass chandelier I saw on flickr, but I'm a ways from having enough glass to start thinking about that. I think for now I will just admire it. Maybe I'll pile some up in the sunnier windows of our home.

Ciao Gwen!
I'm obsessed by sea glass and sea pottery! When I was still a student I used to spend several months of the year on a seside town here in Italy and I collected so many (together with many other "sea treasures" such as shells obviously and wood…).
You could also frame your collections and hang them… They are so beautiful as they are…
Ciao! (And I love your photos on flickr!)

This 14-karat white gold safety clasp features a ball shape and smooth, bright finish, complementing pearl or mixed-material strands. Safety clasps (also called pearl clasps) feature two parts that connect in two different ways, providing a fail-safe that helps prevent loss of higher-value necklaces or strands and are ideal for pearl and gemstone strands. The interior part of the clasp is a slender hook with notches along the outer edge; the exterior part is hollow except for a locking bar. The interior part hooks over the locking bar and then slides inside the exterior part, the notches catching along the inner sides to hold the clasp securely closed. Even if the notches fail for any reason, the hook keeps the strand in place.
• Overall length indicates the length added to your strand by the clasp.
• Customers within the European Union: Please be aware that this item contains nickel and may not be in compliance with EU regulation EN1811:2011+A1:2015.
• Use care when soldering near springs or other movable mechanisms; the heat can damage these parts or alter the temper of the metal, reducing or destroying their effectiveness.

Position: No 5
Name of wine estate: Bodega Catena Zapata
Country: Argentina
Wine region: Mendoza
Standout points: Pioneers of Argentine Malbec; owner of the Adrianna vineyard – 'South America's grand cru'
Winemaker: Alejandro Vigil
Wine style: European winemaking, high-altitude Andean terroirs
Website: http://www.catenawines.com/
Malbec mastery
Thanks to the tireless work of Nicolás Catena Zapata over the past 40 years, and latterly his daughter, Laura Catena, Argentine Malbec wine now stands with the best wines of the world, and it's the elegant Malbecs born of extreme high-altitude terroirs in the Andean foothills of Mendoza that made their name. So Malbec lovers – of which there are a great many – might well consider a visit to Bodega Catena Zapata, in the Mendoza sub-appellation of Agrelo, as an act of pilgrimage.
The generation game
The winery was founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena and was passed to his son Domingo. Inspired by the Napa Valley wine revolution, Domingo's son, Nicolás Catena Zapata, was one of the first to introduce European winemaking techniques to Argentina and pioneered Malbec and vine growing in high altitudes. Currently, Laura Catena, who has been called 'the face of Argentine wine', now runs the winery. She is also in charge of the pioneering Catena Institute of Wine, which focuses on the study of terroir, sustainability and other research aimed at further elevating Mendoza as a quality wine region.
Mayan inspiration
The winery itself is surely unique in the world, distinguished as it by its pyramid-like design inspired by the architecture of the Mayan civilisation. The atmospheric barrel cellar – where you can taste wines straight from the barrel as one of several tour options – leaves a lasting impression as well. Today, the wines of Catena Zapata are sourced from six historic estate vineyards: Angélica, La Pirámide, Nicasia, Domingo, Angélica Sur and Adrianna.
Decisions, decisions…
When it comes to those tour options, if you're after a deep dive into Malbec history, opt for the Renaissance of Malbec Visit. This tour includes a guided barrel tasting and a further tasting of four of the estate's top wines. Alternatively, the Adrianna Vineyard Grand Cru Visit focuses on the wines of Adrianna Vineyard. At almost 5,000ft above sea level, this is surely one of the most visually arresting vineyard sites, and has been called 'South America's grand cru'.

Chapter 616: Partitioning the Tristar Sect
The aggrieved Great Cathedral was patently furious that the Tristar Sect had revealed the secret. However, after searching through the wasteland where the sect had stood for a few days, they were unable to find any leads.
"This Tristar Sect must have been too afraid of facing the wrath of the Myriad Domain so they hid themselves," Honored Master Tian Ming of the Dark North Sect sighed.
Palace Head Dan Chi looked upon the Tristar Sect's ruins, a pensive look on his face. He had a nagging feeling that there was something amiss about this whole situation. Everything had been fine, so why had the Tristar Sect revealed the secret? This didn't make common sense at all. However, every member of the Tristar Sect had vanished, so he wasn't at liberty to say anything now. After all, his prime suspect previously had been the Sacred Sword Palace. From what happened now, it was the Tristar Sect who were the true traitors, and they had already incurred the wrath of the heavens.
Xiang Wentian of the Great Cathedral thundered, "The Tristar Sect must have disbanded in order to evade heavenly judgment!"
Everyone was well aware of this by now. But they were still completely helpless about the fact that the members of the Tristar Sect had made up their mind to disappear.
"I suggest that we discuss what to do with the Tristar Sect's territory." Wang Jianyu of the Sacred Sword Palace smiled faintly.
"Yes. Since the Tristar Sect has disbanded, their territory is now without an owner. Therefore, we should allow the civilians who were governed by the Tristar Sect to continue enjoying the protection from a large sect so that they can live on without fear." These words sounded incredibly grandiose and dignified, but to put it plainly, they meant to partition the land and snatch up resources.
Xiang Wentian nodded. "It is imperative that we do not let that huge plot of land governed by the Tristar Sect become a plot of loose sand. It's just… how should we divide the territory? Does anyone have any good suggestions?"
"Is there a need to ask? The five great sects should just divide this land equally," Sect Head Wei Wuying of the Walkabout Sect spoke up. What he was most afraid of was that the Great Cathedral would once again be unreasonable and snatch half the land away. If it became like that, the other four sects could only share the remaining half.
"Indeed, splitting it evenly would be better," Wang Jianyu laughed. Clearly, he didn't wish for the Great Cathedral to be the sole benefactor either.
"My Dark North Sect has no objections with splitting evenly," Honored Master Tian Ming replied.
Naturally, the remaining sect, the Regal Pill Palace, would not have any objections. Dan Chi wasn't too concerned about the Tristar Sect's territory. What he was more curious about was the Tristar Sect's motive for revealing the secret. Astute as he was, he had a nagging sensation that something was wrong with the entire situation.
The Great Cathedral had initially intended to take half the territory and leave the remaining half for the other four sects to share. However, the other sects besides the Regal Pill Palace were all clearly determined to share the pie evenly. If the Great Cathedral exhibited extraordinarily bad table manners, they would enrage everyone here. The Myriad Domain was now officially in dangerous waters starting today. If there was internal strife, then the domain might collapse even without an enemy invasion.
The sects began to discuss how to split the territory immediately after that. Since they were each taking a fair share, the process was straightforward. The territory would be cut into fifths along with various spirit power resources and resources, with each sect taking their own share. After the partition, Xiang Wentian announced, "From today onwards, the Tristar Sect will no longer exist. The Myriad Domain will also not acknowledge the Tristar Sect. Even if they come back and seek to start over, they will still be considered the traitors of the Myriad Domain. They are the shame of our domain and we will tolerate them no longer!"
"That's right. Exposing the secrets of the Myriad Domain means that they have become the public enemy! The Tristar Sect is no longer worthy to be a part of the Myriad Domain!" Wei Wuying also agreed.
The opinions of the five sects regarding this matter were aligned. Since they had just partitioned up the Tristar Sect's land, they also had to find some dignified-sounding reason to do so in order to appease the people. By plastering the title of traitor on the Tristar Sect, the sects could divide up their territory and block their means of revival, all the while sounding completely justified and righteous.
Instead of nit-picking at the problem, Dan Chi replied, "Everyone, since the Tristar Sect has disbanded in an attempt to escape heavenly judgment, they must be plotting something. Has anyone considered this problem?"
"Dan Chi, what do you think?" Honored Master Tian Ming had always been on good terms with Dan Chi and knew that the palace head was a very resourceful person.
"Indeed, Dan Chi, you're smart and forward-looking, so share your thoughts with us. At any rate, the Tristar Sect has been expelled so no one will fault you for saying something wrong," Xiang Wentian also encouraged.
Wang Jianyu only smiled coldly without saying anything. He always felt that Dan Chi only pandered to the crowds and sought attention due to his enmity with Dan Chi. Wei Wuying also smiled slightly, but he wanted to hear any wise opinions Dan Chi might have.
"When my Regal Pill Palace was assaulted by the Ninesuns Sky Sect last time, our opponent demanded the locations of our sky rank herbs and Longevity Pill. Hence, I'm certain that the Tristar Sect must have leaked our secrets to the Ninesuns Sky Sect. The Ninesuns Sky Sect has always eyed the Myriad Domain like a tiger watching its prey. Everyone, think carefully, if the Tristar Sect wasn't in cahoots with the Ninesuns Sky Sect, what reason would they have to gamble on the future of the their sect?" Dan Chi's speech caused the expressions of everyone present to take a drastic turn.
"Dan Chi, you're sure the person from last time was a member of the Ninesuns Sky Sect?" Xiang Wentian could not help but ask, obviously sensing how precarious matters were.
"As certain as I can be. After the assault, I inquired after the state of the Upper Eight Regions through my contacts. The enemy who attacked our Regal Pill Palace was one of the ten great disciples of the Ninesuns Sky Sect, Cao Jin, a cultivator at peak sage realm!" Dan Chi still thought about the battle that day with traces of lingering fear in his heart.
In the face of the overwhelming power a first-rate sect exuded, the sects of the Myriad Domain were as insignificant as ever. The unification of the Myriad Domain truly seemed an extraordinarily insurmountable task.
"Ten great disciples? Peak sage realm?" Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air. This Ninesuns Sky Sect was truly willing to go all out for their aims!
Honored Master Tian Ming muttered to himself and sighed, "Just what does the Ninesuns Sky Sect see in our Myriad Domain? If we're talking about things of value that we have, the Great Crimson Region looted everything in the great destruction of the Myriad Empire six or seven hundred years ago. Just what is the Ninesuns Sky Sect planning that they have set their sights on us for so long?"
Wei Wuying laughed coldly, "Who the hell knows what they're planning? They wouldn't even spare a tiny place like the sixteen kingdom alliance. I really doubt that there's even anything that good in our Myriad Domain? How could they set their sights on even a wasteland like the sixteen kingdoms?"
With that being said, the sect who found the Ninesuns Sect most repulsive wasn't the Regal Pill Palace, nor was it the other sects. Instead, it was the Great Cathedral because they were the greatest amongst the sects in the Myriad Domain. Since they were the greatest, they naturally didn't wish for a greater power to appear. In their own territory, they naturally hoped that they could be the tiger of the land. They didn't want some passing dragon to eye their territory.
Wang Jianyu suddenly snorted derisively. "Actually, in my opinion, isn't a certain someone exaggerating matters?"
"Old Wang, who're you speaking of?" Wei Wuying clearly knew that Wang Jianyu was referring to Palace Head Dan Chi, but didn't want to intentionally fan the flames of discourse.
"Who else could it be? Even my Sacred Sword Palace admits that we would not be able to defend against one of the ten great disciples of the Ninesuns Sky Sect, a peak sage realm cultivator. Since when has the Regal Pill Palace become so strong? Not only are they safe and sound, they even managed to drive off one of the Ninesuns Sky Sect's ten great disciples?" Wang Jianyu found this very peculiar, and a bewildered smile made its way to his face.
The others all looked towards Palace Dan Chi with curiosity etched on their faces, clearly somewhat doubtful of this matter. Palace Head Dan Chi maintained his calm expression and did not explain anything. "I have only spoken the truth. Believe it or not, that's up to you."
Dan Chi had no intention of explaining anything. It would be an arduous and thankless task. Honored Master Tian Ming nodded in support, "I believe that old friend Dan Chi would not speak nonsense."
Xiang Wentian also more or less understood Dan Chi's character. When he saw Dan Chi act this way, he was also more inclined to believe Dan Chi. However, instead of complicating this problem any further, he asked, "Old brother Dan Chi, why don't you tell us first how the Tristar Sect and Ninesuns Sky Sect are related?"
Dan Chi nodded. "I am ninety percent certain that the reason why the Tristar Sect exposed our secret must have something to do with the Ninesuns Sky Sect. Only, the question that remains is, was the Tristar Sect coerced into it by the Ninesuns Sky Sect? Or were they in cahoots from the very beginning?"
These were the only two possibilities.
Xiang Wentian thought for a long time before sighing, "This matter can only be resolved if we find the remnants of the Tristar Sect. If they were coerced into it, they might be just the first of many. The next target might be each of us."
"Yes. In my opinion, they colluded with the Ninesuns Sky Sect from long ago. The Tristar Sect was originally only a fifth rank sect and only rose abruptly in power a few hundred years ago. Their rise was abnormally fast. Isn't this a bit ridiculous?" Wei Wuying questioned.
Unusually, Dan Chi actually agreed with Wei Wuying's perspective. "I've considered things carefully, and combined things with what I know what happened when my Regal Pill Palace allied ourselves with the Precious Tree Sect. Judging from Tristar Sect's Zhu Changsheng's behavior that day, both his words and actions indicated that he intentionally set up my Regal Pill Palace to tussle with the inspector from the Ninesuns Sky Sect. Now that I think about it, it's very possible that the Tristar Sect has been colluding with the Ninesuns Sky Sect all this time."
Xiang Wentian's expression was grave as he nodded and replied, "If the Tristar Sect has long since colluded with the Ninesuns Sky Sect, that proves that the Ninesuns Sky Sect has set their sights on the Myriad Domain for a long time now." When he spoke of this, Xiang Wentian's tone grew even more contemplative as he wondered to himself, "Just what is this Ninesuns Sky Sect planning? Why does this old man feel as though there's an enormous conspiracy behind all this?"
It was obvious that the Sky Sect coveted the area, but the sect heads present had no reason why and what for. This kind of unknown paranoia caused the Myriad Domain's future to be clouded. The Myriad Domain was truly too weak compared to the Ninesuns Sky Sect, so weak that they could not withstand even one of the Ninesuns Sky Sect's fingers crushing down on them.
To put things bluntly, the Ninesuns Sky Sect only needed to mobilize youths like the ten great disciples to completely level the Myriad Domain without needing to call upon their senior executives. Although they had just divided the Tristar Sect's territory, an enormous pressure weighed down on their hearts the moment each sect thought about the Ninesuns Sky Sect. All of them were fourth rank sects whose words were taken as law in their own territory. Moreover, each of them harbored dreams of domination. None of them wished to be ruled by the Ninesuns Sky Sect, much less than be a couple of pawns on the Ninesuns Sky Sect's chessboard! Hence, the five fourth rank sects of the Myriad Domain faced the Ninesuns Sky Sect with deeply conflicted feelings.
Surprisingly, the members of the Tristar Sect seemed to really have disappeared completely in the next half year. Their territory and resources have been completed taken and divided up, but not a single member stood out to protest. It was as though they had completely perished from the heavenly judgment.
The remaining powers of the Tristar Sect had concealed themselves in a certain hidden area of the Myriad Domain.
The ones who remained were those who had resolved themselves to follow the Ninesuns Sky Sect. As for those who did not wish to surrender and pay allegiance to the Sky Sect, or those who would rather become rogue cultivators, they no longer existed on this earth.

Why does construction work take so long?
This is a very generic question because there are many different types of construction. I've never been involved with building houses but people I know that do that kind of work say that they could start a house and have it completely finished 4 or 5 days (if everyone shows up on time). What slows them down is that they have to stop work and get an inspector to approve the work done before the next task can be started. Depending on the jurisdiction you are in, that can add several months to the construction time.
There are similar issues with infrastructure construction. I've seen a roadway cutout and then left to weather 3 years before the engineer was satisfied that everything had settled in place. Also with big projects, manufactures will not order raw materials for your order unless you have a signed contract in hand. That can create a situation where you have to stop work because you need something that hasn't been manufactured yet.
If a subcontractor shows up 3 months late, that adds time to the project. Even if every thing goes to plan, the various tasks involved have to been done in order and if the engineer says that the concrete has to cure for 60 days, you have to wait that time before the next thing can be started. I don't want this answer to sound like I'm complaining about engineers or inspectors. If you don't wait for things to be done correctly that can result in the death of the workers or the end users.

It's assessed that upwards of 25 million Americans have a thyroid issue, and half of them have no clue that they do. Hypothyroidism, or an under-dynamic thyroid, represents 90% of every single thyroid irregularity.
The thyroid, a butterfly-molded organ in the focal point of your neck, is the ace organ of digestion. How well your thyroid is working is between related with each framework in your body. On the off chance that your thyroid isn't running ideally, at that point nor are you.
Here are 10 signs that you could have an underactive thyroid:
- Exhaustion in the wake of dozing 8 to 10 hours every night or expecting to sleep day by day.
- Weight pick up or the failure to get more fit.
- State of mind issues, for example, disposition swings, nervousness or sadness.
- Hormone lopsided characteristics, for example, PMS, sporadic periods, barrenness and low sex drive.
- Muscle torment, joint agony, carpal passage disorder, or tendonitis.
- Cool hands and feet, feeling chilly when others are not, or having a body temperature reliably underneath 98.5.
- Dry or splitting skin, fragile nails and unreasonable male pattern baldness.
- Obstruction.
- Mind issues, for example, cerebrum haze, poor fixation or poor memory.
- Neck swelling, wheezing or dry voice.
How can you thyroid organ function?
Thyroid hormone generation is controlled by an input circle between the hypothalamus, pituitary organ and the thyroid organ. Hypothalamic thyrotropin-discharging hormone (TRH) invigorates pituitary thyrotropin (TSH) amalgamation and emission.
Thus, TSH animates creation and arrival of T4 and T3 from the thyroid organ. At the point when enough T4 is delivered, it signs to TRH and TSH that there is sufficient thyroid hormone available for use and not to create more.
Around 85% of the hormone created by our thyroid organ is T4, which is a dormant type of the hormone. After T4 is made, a little measure of it is changed over into T3, which is the dynamic type of thyroid hormone.
To confuse matters, T3 likewise gets changed over into either Free T3 (FT3) or Reverse T3 (RT3). It's the Free T3 that truly matters in the majority of this, since it's the main hormone that can append to a receptor and make your digestion rise, keep you warm, keep your entrails moving, personality working, and different hormones under control. The part of Reverse T3 isn't notable, notwithstanding, I do see it hoisted in people under outrageous pressure and the individuals who have mercury lethality.
Lastly, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an immune system illness, is the most well-known type of hypothyroidism and its numbers are rising every year. An immune system ailment is one in which your body turns on itself and starts to assault a specific organ or tissue trusting its outside.
I routinely screen the greater part of my patients for immune system thyroid malady by requesting Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOAb) and Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb).
Why is hypothyroidism so under analyzed in the USA?
Numerous side effects of thyroid unevenness are dubious and most specialists spend just a couple of minutes chatting with patients to deal with the reason for their protest.
Most ordinary specialists utilize just a single or two tests (TSH and T4) to screen for issues. They are not checking FT3, RT3 or thyroid antibodies.
Most regular specialists utilize the 'ordinary' lab reference run as their guide as it were. Instead of tuning in to their patients indications, they utilize 'ideal' lab esteems and temperature as their guide.
Which lab tests are best to decide whether you have a thyroid issue?
I check the underneath board on every one of my patients. Ensure your specialist does likewise for you.
Free T4
Free T3
Switch T3
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOAb)
Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb)
What are the 'ideal' lab esteems for thyroid tests?
In my training, I have discovered that the underneath are simply the extents in which my patients (and myself) flourish. I tune in to my patients also and consider how they are feeling.
TSH 1-2 UIU/ML or lower (Armor or aggravated T3 can misleadingly smother TSH)
RT3 not as much as a 10:1 proportion RT3:FT3
TPO – <9 IU/ML or negative
TgAb – < 4 IU/ML or negative
What are 10 things you can do to enhance your thyroid capacity?
- Ensure you are taking a fantastic multivitamin with Iodine, Zinc, Selenium, Iron, Vitamin D and B vitamins.
- Take a tyrosine and iodine supplement to help with the FT4 to FT3 change.
- Go without gluten! In the event that you have Hashimoto's, have a go at going totally grain and vegetable free.
- Manage your pressure and bolster your adrenal organs. The adrenal organs and thyroid work hand and hand. I suggest remedial yoga and adaptogenic herbs, which bolster the adrenal organs in adapting to pressure.
- Get 8 to 10 long stretches of rest a night.
- Have an organic dental specialist securely evacuate any amalgam fillings you may have.
- Watch your admission of cruciferous vegetables. There is somewhat of a verbal confrontation encompassing this.
- Get fluoride, bromide and chlorine out of your eating regimen and condition.
- Recuperate your gut. An appropriately working stomach related framework (gut) is basic to great wellbeing. To take in more, click here.
- Locate a useful pharmaceutical specialist in your general vicinity and have them run the above research facility test and work with you to discover our underlying driver of the thyroid awkwardness.

Richard Donovan and Craig Tate have been best friends since they were 10 years old. Growing up in Newcastle, England, neither foresaw one day owning a cafe together on the other side of the world. Of the two Donovan was the first to arrive in Australia; he was a typical Brit backpacker working in hospitality to pay for his trip. Craig followed a year later, and both never left.
Partnering with Phil Gijbergs (of From on High in Prahran), they opened Saint James cafe on Malvern Road with a British-inspired menu.
A mixed-grain porridge is topped with London Dry Gin-poached rhubarb. Bubble and squeak gets a Melbourne upgrade with the addition of a browned-butter hollandaise, a roasted tomato and a fried egg.
The dish to receive the biggest response so far is the fish-finger butty served with crushed-pea aioli and dill-and-cabbage salad on white bread. "It's a childhood memory, I used to eat them all the time," says Donovan.
Coffee is roasted at Gijsbers's new cafe in Collingwood, Yorkshire Brew House, which opened earlier this week. Gijsbers is also opening Small Print Pizza Bar, four doors down from From on High, and a cafe in Brooklyn, New York.
Plans to extend the 30-seat courtyard into a summer beer garden are underway, and in the coming months a liquor license will kick in.

History of the US Cavalry and some other useful information. The 1st calvary division of the U.S Army is located in Fort Hood, Texas and is currently commanded by Major General John C. Thomson III. They have been proudly serving the nation since 1855. The 1st cavalry division had its formal activation on September 13, 1921. A combination of unique forces and served during World War II.
It continued on through the Korean War, the Persian Gulf war, Vietnam, Korea, and Vietnam. Others include the Stabilizing Force in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Iraq War, and in the current War in Afghanistan, Operation Iraqi Freedom, which began in 2001 and is continuing today. The us cavalry is extremely strong and a force above many others.
Training for The US Cavalry
The initial training for the 1st cavalry division is mostly conducted through a single Duty Station Unit. This means that they combine basic training along with specific job training during a single stay, and one instruction course. Once they have completed this, they will move on to more specific training in their unique field and become more intertwined in the 1st Cavalry division. The most complex form of training is dependent on where the soldier has advanced in their career and through their years of service. Hard work and dedication will help a soldier advance quickly through the ranks.
Air Cavalry The U.S Army also has an air cavalry. It's a first line of defense when it comes to air attacks. They have the ability to directly engage in the enemy lines through air strike forces. The cavalry have the ability to keep on eye on a certain piece of terrain from the sky. This gives them precision when it comes to air striking. The horsemen are trained to hold of the enemy and keep foot soldiers safe in difficult combat zones.
US Cavalry Rings
In 1835 the first military rings were provided as a gift to the first graduating class of the US Military Academy. Since that time, the rings have been given to cadets at or during graduation. It is to signify the completion of their rigorous training and dedication. Now, the Army, Navy and Air Forces all give out these rings as a vital symbol of their achievements. They are held in high regard and a personal piece of jewelry that serves as a constant reminder of their dedication.
The U.S. Army or is highly dedicated to their quality of service. They have been proudly serving our country since June 14, 1775. They began serving during the first American Revolution. The men and women that serve our armed forces are highly talented and dedicated to providing the American people with peace and quality of life. They are currently the largest branch in the U.S Military, While the majority of their work is based on land, they have a phenomenal air calary that protects and serves us daily.
All of the custom rings are available in gold and silver. The rings can be completely personalized with a name and can also be shipped to any country in the world. A lifetime warranty is issued with custom made rings. The US Cavalry ring is one of the most popular rings in the current range. The ring can be designed in our online shop in a few easy steps.

Business Development Advisor
You can only have one active Peace Corps Volunteer application, so choose a position that best fits your skills and interest. You have the opportunity to tell us if you'd like to be considered for other openings and more about the ones that interest you most! See application process
Evacuated Volunteers: Coming in late May, there will be an expedited application for returning to service. Get details and subscribe to updates.
Project Description
In communities where Volunteers work, household members often lack the skills to pursue available employment opportunities, the capacity to create their own employment and economic opportunities and the critical money management skills needed to manage household income and expenses. Volunteers work to strengthen the skills and capacity individuals need to contribute to the economic security and upward economic mobility of their household's.
Activities may include but are not limited to:
• Train community groups on money management best practices which include: budgeting, bookkeeping, record keeping and financial literacy.
• Support the formation and strengthening of village savings and loans associations.
• Train youth on entrepreneurship and livelihoods.
• Train the youth, farmers and women on the selection and implementation of viable income generating activities.
• Advise farmers on post-harvest handling to reduce waste and increase profitability through value-addition and income generating activities as a form of achieving food security.
• Demonstrate and assist community members in preparing household gardens to grow variety of nutritious diets.
• Train households on how to cook recipes that incorporate nutrient rich foods to improve women's and children's diets.
Volunteers work with an array of unstructured and semi-structured groups and host-organizations, including Farmer Groups, Women and Youth Groups, Coffee Cooperatives, non-governmental, community-based, and faith-based organizations. Each host-organization and community is unique in its needs, opportunities, and challenges. One opportunity that will present itself across the board is the need for financial literacy and saving training. Many Ugandans are small business owners, yet there is a lack of basic budgeting and recordkeeping skills. Many women cannot access loans as a result of conditions attached by banks and other lending institutions which hinder their financial inclusion process. Village saving and loans associations present a great opportunity for Volunteers to serve.
Your ability to cope with these challenges will depend on your flexibility, patience, humility, and good humor to the point of not to come to Uganda and "fix" things. Rather, you will be most successful when you work with your community and host organization to collaboratively and creatively find ways to address issues with the limited resources that are locally available.
Peace Corps Uganda promotes gender awareness and girls' education and empowerment. Volunteers receive training on gender challenges and have the opportunity to implement gender-related activities that are contextually appropriate. During service, Volunteers look for ways to work with community members to promote gender-equitable norms and increase girls' sense of agency. As part of their work, Volunteers will also report on these efforts and their impact. Volunteers invited to this project are expected to work as professionals and will be periodically evaluated as such.
Required Skills
• Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science degree in any business discipline
• 5 years professional experience in business management
Desired Skills
• Demonstrated interest in business development, entrepreneurship, business planning and supporting startup businesses
• Experience working with microfinance institutions, youth entrepreneurship, small business development.
• Interest in working with women, farmers and/or youth
• Small-scale farming and experience with agricultural value addition and post-harvest handling
• Expressed interest working with small-scale farmers and youth in various capacities including entrepreneurship training
• Flexibility living in another culture and/or working in an unstructured environment
Required Language Skills
Living Conditions
Cell phone service is available across the country especially where Volunteers are placed. Wi-Fi and internet is not common in rural areas and usually unreliable if available. Cyber cafes and internet connectivity are available within urban areas. USB modems and smart phones are available for purchase and can be used for internet access in some places. Mail and post generally take a long time, but Volunteers can readily communicate through smart phones. Volunteers are encouraged to bring a laptop which will enable them to complete assignments off-line and upload them at a later date. Please note that tablets and smart phones are not an effective alternative.
Trainees stay with host families for four weeks during Pre-Service Training (PST). A private, lockable room will be provided within the host family accommodation. Trainees will, however, share common areas with the family. The homestay accommodation provides an opportunity for Volunteers to be familiar with cultural norms in Uganda. In addition, some Volunteers will also live with home-stay families during their two years of service at site.
Volunteers could be a 2-3 hours' drive from another Volunteer in some areas, while others are much closer to each other. The site placement process will enable staff to determine whether Volunteers prefer to be clustered or more distantly placed from other Volunteers. Getting around will be by walking, riding a bicycle for a distance of about 10 kilometers, or using local transportation. Public transportation is available near most communities and allows for transit to and from the nearest urban areas or trading centers, though it is likely to be crowded, uncomfortable, and unreliable. Volunteers are provided funds to buy a local bicycle. Many of the community members use this mode of transportation, too. Due to safety risks, Peace Corps Uganda prohibits the use of public motorcycle taxis by Volunteers.
Uganda is a very conservative culture. As outsiders, Volunteers are often heavily scrutinized. Living and working productively in Uganda means being able to adjust to different cultural norms, as that can deeply impact community integration and credibility. Ugandans are interested in visitors and are welcoming and open when they feel mutual respect and understanding.
Peace Corps Uganda provides support to a diverse group of Volunteers of various faiths, identities, and sexual orientations. It is important to note that Uganda has restrictive laws that target certain sexual acts. Volunteers will need to be mindful of cultural norms and country-specific laws, and use their best judgment to determine how to approach topics related to sexual orientation and gender identity in their communities and host country. Many Volunteers in Uganda keep their sexual orientation private during the course of their service. Staff will address how to navigate this aspect of identity during pre-service training, and what support mechanisms are available for incoming trainees. Please refer to the Local Laws and Special Circumstances of the U.S. Department of State's travel page for more information (https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/country/uganda.html). Prospective Volunteers are encouraged to discuss any questions or concerns during the interview.

Thoughts running around my head needing to come out. I try to let them out, but I always manage to say what I want to say the wrong way, at least here, it's better.
I need to vent out. So if this comes across as random or pointless, bear with me, it's been building up for a while now, and it's time to let it out.
12th grade isn't the jolliest experience one goes through. I truly tried to make this year the best one (and am still trying) but I don't think it'll be as awesome as people say it should be. I've probably had more drama happening this year more than any other, and I'm not trying to be mysterious or anything but I'm trying to let it go.
Studying does suck one's soul out, I mean let's face it I am a fairly boring person, if you don't like books, then I'll probably try talking about movies, if not I'll say stuff you probably won't relate to. I don't know if I'm being too harsh on myself, but it's true. I've noticed it while talking to girls at school, if they're my good friends then ok we can talk about anything, but if not then no. I don't mind that much really. Hmm, see? I just did that. Blah! Let's move on...
So the 'whatever-they're-called-kind-of-stupid-10-marks-exams' are coming soon. The whole thing is just stupid, it makes me want to go like 'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah' and bang my head on a wall. They're in about a month, don't know exactly when and the time table isn't out, and there's a possibility of it being surprising exams, like without a timetable, so go figure.
I don't want to dwell on that much, but it's just all so frustrating. And studying is....! Well, you study and study and then do like me last Wed. mess up a short Math quiz. I was so depressed after that, I still am a bit, and what makes it worse is that I've had enough time this weekend to ponder over the mistake and drown in misery (not lit. but said for a dramatic effect), the teacher will probably make it worse this Sat. but I won't let her get to me, I just hate it though when people lecture you things you already figured out for yourself.
It's just that sometimes you think no matter how much you study it won't be enough, or worse that you think you're not doing your best and then getting depressed by the feeling that you're not doing your best. It's just hard. There! And I can't wake up at 5! I JUST CAN'T.
Gosh, *looks at the post* that's probably the darkest post I've ever written but hey, that's to remember this time of my life. I'm not as depressed as I sound though, but this is needed to just vent.
But no matter what, I'm keeping the good spirit, and inshallah it'll be ok. :)

Hello World*
It's been ages since I posted some blabberings here so I thought I'd do it tonight. I can't complain much, I've been reading good stuff lately. Only now I'm reading something very light for John Grisham, Bleachers. Too many books waiting to be read!!
Anyhow, I thought it's be nice to talk about what I like and what I don't, over the previous posts I've definitely talked about them, but it's been a while, and my readers don't mind, now do you?!
So I like: books, writing for English class, hanging out with friends at the school yard, bright colors, good Arabic literature, noodles, post-it, Labello, Josh Groban, Harry Potter, going green, activism, my online friends, optimism, high heels!, funny ads, learning languages, Istanbul, singing out loud,.
I don't like: waking up feeling sleep-deprived, sound of chewing, sports, really hot weather, people with an air, insects, acne, coffee, not being able to help, being upset for no reason, not being heard, not knowing what to say (doesn't happen that often, since I'm talkative but it's annoying when it does happen), being misunderstood, strong smells.

My Name is Red
I started reading My Name is Red with hardly any expectations, I was filled with excitement to be reading my first book about the Ottoman era, and the first time reading for a Turkish author though, and I was not disappointed. The author is brilliant! I don't know what to think of it, I'm not sure if I understand what the book was trying to say completely, but such a book must be read I believe. I can't really talk about it, I don't know why, it's hard to describe it to my sister even, and that doesn't happen to me that often. You just have to read it to know, even if you don't like it you won't be left disappointed.
Here's a quote I loved:
"Nevertheless, I must confess that it gave me a certain pleasure to behave as if I were afraid of them. An artist's skill depends on carefully attending to the beauty of the present moment, taking everything down to the minutest detail seriously, while at the same time, stepping back from the world, which takes itself too seriously, and as if looking into a mirror allowing for the distance and eloquence of a jest."

A standard Christmas picture wasn't good enough for 2000 Colonel White graduate Roderick Dion Lacking (AKA Dion Lack) and his family.
The foursome dug deep and dropped an adorable Christmas rap video on posted YouTube.
In it, Roderick, his wife Dawnise and daughters, Kaylee, 8, and Kaydence, 3, run down the highlights of 2014 - including the fact that Kaylee's bike no longer has training wheels.
The video has been featured by NBC's Today show and the Huffington Post, to name a few national news outlets.
It has received more than 30,000 views since being posted to YouTube shortly after Thanksgiving Day.
Roderick said Kaylee complained that the family's typical Christmas photos were boring.
"I had to show her what her mom and dad were capable of," he said.
The actor and comedian is a co-owner of LackToast Entertainment, a multimedia production company.
He and his family are based in Los Angeles.
Roderick said the response has been great.
"It is really shocking to see how many people think this should be an ongoing thing. (It) put the pressure on us," he said. "It was a lot of fun doing this with my family. This is actually the first time we have all done something (like this) as a whole."

Witness the iconic train wreck, Children of the Corn. While the film is praised for having Isaac and Malachi, the two creepiest amish kids ever on screen, it is also noted to be one of the crappiest films ever made. The COTC franchise is a joke in the horror industry. It's honestly what the Duggar kids would be doing if TLC didn't keep them on track. The story the film is based on, was a short story Stephen King published in Penthouse. Really? PENTHOUSE!? That should have been a sign right there that this is a story left best on paper and not on the silver screen. It has spawned six sequels and a made-for-TV remake. The Children of the Corn is the horror equivalent to The Land Before Time. It never ends and the first one wasn't even good. The first film received two thumbs down by Siskel & Ebert and currently reps a 37% on Rotten Tomatoes, ouch.
Stephen King's The Dark Half was the second highest selling novel of 1989. When George A. Romero, king of the f'ing zombies signed up to direct the film, it seemed as if this would be the saving grace of the novel turned film work of Stephen King. Romero was just so stifled making a studio picture, that this just became so bland and drab. I've read The Dark Half. I find it horrific and brilliant, I've seen Dark Half, I wish I couldn't admit to that. The film is watchable, but it's not something I'll ever care to see again. The only admirable thing about the film is the suspense that goes along with not knowing the story, once you've seen it once...there's nothing to the film to keep you entertained. It's a one view film at best. I think the reason I dislike it so much, is because of the drastic contrast between the book and the film. At least with films like LTROI or even Harry Potter, the movies are STILL good despite having monumental books to live up to, the same cannot be said for this one.
TV mini-series seem to be the absolute WORST culprits. The Tommyknockers, Rose Red, Kingdom Hospital, and yes, IT are some of the worst adaptations of King's novels to date. The first three can easily just be explained as "god awful with bad CGI, bad acting, and bad interpretations". IT however, is something people fight me with tooth and nail about. Do you want to know why people say IT is so scary? BECAUSE HE'S A FREAKING CHILD KILLING CLOWN WITH SCARY TEETH THAT COMES THROUGH YOUR PIPES. The storyline is compelling, the length is unnecessary, and the scenes from the book they chose are the most "family friendly" of any of them. The film has no balls, and is a complete JOKE compared to the novel. The series is just lucky that Pennywise as a character is going to freak people out in general. Of course he's going to be scary. I'm not denying that Pennywise is frightening, but I am denying that IT is a quality adaptation. The series is incredibly slow, the ending is so bad I turn it off before it happens, and the only redeeming qualities of the series is when Tim Curry is on screen. Anything else is laughable, dull, and a waste of time. The book is downright disturbing, and IT is just sort of bland. The only reason it reached any sort of success is because there is an overwhelming amount of people with phobias of clowns, and because Tim Curry is a genius. If Pennywise had been played by anyone else, that film wouldn't be anywhere near as iconic and Pennywise would have been written off as just another creepy clown like Bozo without the buckets.
It is true that there was a HUGE SK obsession in the 70's, 80's, and 90's...but even his films made in the 2000's are dreadful (with the exceptions). 1408 is a freaking joke. I'm a John Cusak fangirl and even I watched the film with the same expression I have when I see fat women in Wal-Mart wearing spandex with crimped mullets. It's a trainwreck and nothing more than wasted potential. This isn't to say ALL Stephen King film adaptations are crappy. His non-horror films are widely successful. The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me are two films that are almost universally accepted as good films. The man has got talent for writing, if only filmmakers could properly capture it. *sigh*

You should also have mentioned Misery - my favorite King movie of them all and scary as hell for a non-horror movie...

- Pax Romano said...
I think his books are tough to adapt because many of them are lengthy, almost epic in scope so they are either boiled down to two hours for a film, or turned into eight hour tv movie events with a less than spectacular out come (The Stand).
Misery, Carrie, and to a lesser extent, Christine worked so well because they were relativity straight ahead tales.
I'd like to see HBO or the BBC adapt one of his epics and finally give them the treatment they deserve.
- March 29, 2010 at 4:30 PM

The point of this post was to show how there are few examples of his good work. carrie, misery, and the shining are already universally accepted as classics. everyone knows that already.

Ahhh thank you- I have been on a SK kick...reading Salem's Lot, the Mist and now The Stand. When I brought up on Twitter that I really wanted to see a highly decent adaption/Not a made for TV movie of Salem's Lot. People immediately replied back saying that blah blah blah it has to be a made for TV movie because it's so long and captures all the character-whatever who knows. THE POINT IS. Stephen King, as much as I love him often complicates his stories with too many characters and too much stuff. Works great in a book- but a movie needs little something called editing. This isn;t really what you are talking about but I needed to speak my peace. Good editing can probably fix most Stephen King adaptions. Do we really need to go through every single character? Probably not. And I will prove this to you all when I finish my adaption of Salem's Lot. Mmmhmmm..
OH and thank you again for saying that 1408 is crap. I thought I was the only one. Remember when I said I didn't understand the whole John Cusack craze? Well it's because of this movie. It's just....laughable.

Good points, though I'd say there are a few more good King flicks than you let on...just don't ask me to name them.
He's definitely a writer whose horror stylings don't transfer well to film. Even The Shining, while entirely epic, loses huge amounts of detail from the novel.

- Matt said...
I agree with a lot of what you have said here, particularly about IT. I've always argued that it is a highly overrated series especially when compared to the awesomeness of the book. The ending is SUCH a let down and there isn't anything particularly frightening. I think that book deserves a solid R-rated film adaptation.
Slightly disagree with you on Children of the Corn - I think it has some solid moments of creepiness but it does fail as a whole. Forget the sequels...
Let's just hope if JJ Abrams has the balls to do a Dark Tower film, he does it right. I'd be heartbroken to see my favorite King series turned into another crappy King film.
- March 29, 2010 at 8:22 PM
Interestingly, my favorite Stephen King "movie" is the TV mini-series STORM OF THE CENTURY. What separates it from most of his other work is that it's an original screenplay. Maybe that's why it works so well.
I think part of the failure of his adaptations is that the director/producer often inflicts their own ideas into the films or attempts to make it "better". But we must not forget that any story is burdened by loss when moved from literature to film.
My favorite adaptations (the ones I think, at least, cling to the flavor of the original stories) are:
The Shining (of course)
Night Fliers (an under-appreciated film that was very faithful to the original story)
The Mist (finally)
Pet Semetary (Miko Hughes still creeps me out)
Carrie (wonderful atmosphere & one of the creepiest mothers in film)

Totally forgot Storm of the Century. That one was excellent. Night Flier was also great.

I own 47 of Stephen King's books, and 28 of his movies. I have read every Stephen King book excluding Under the Dome, and a few of his works no longer in print. I love Stephen King! I do agree that most of his movies lose some of the stuff that makes them great in the transfer to film, but that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy watching them. Some people call Maximum Overdrive a horrible film, but I frickin love it. Great soundtrack and I thought King did a great job directing. I think Frank Darabont should be the only person allowed to direct King movies, as he is pretty much flawless at doing so. The Mist was probably the best king adaption of all time, but it was of a short story, and Darabont added the ending. To this day I have found only one King adaption that I did not enjoy watching on film, and that is The Langoliers. The movie was so horrible, and so far off from the novel it was anger inducing. Pax, The Stand is still voted today as the #1 Made-for-TV movie of all time. I'm writig a novel here, I should put out a warning to people: Don't get me started on Stephen King. He is my hero, and inspiration for everything I am today. Great debate starter though!!!

Kingdom Hospital isn't an adaptation of a King work - it's an adaptation BY King, so there's even less excuse.
Just saying.

LOVE Stephen King novels...DO NOT love ALL Stephen King movies. You've made some VERY goos points with this post B. IT...I freaking HATED it! I re-read the book right before the mini-series came out. LOVE Tim Curry, was VERY disappointed in the movie.
- March 30, 2010 at 8:22 AM
- Davey C. said...
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you just insinuate that the first Land Before Time wasn't good? Blasphemy!
I do really love Shawshank and Stand By Me. Both are really great flicks, in my opinion.
- March 30, 2010 at 3:33 PM
- ZedWord said...
To be fair, King has contributed to some of his own self-screwage on occasion (i.e. Maximum Overdrive).
Also, technically, Kingdom Hospital is not an adaptation (at least of King's work). King wrote it as a miniseries as a remake / adaptation of Lars von Trier's "The Kingdom."
Have you seen Storm of the Century? It was the first miniseries he wrote for TV. I think it's probably one of his strongest productions.

Thank you for trashing IT. God was that movie a piece of crap. I saw it when I was fairly young (being a Stephen King fan from about the age of 7) and even back then I was bored to tears by it and wondered why it was so tame.
- April 1, 2010 at 1:02 PM
- Rabid Fox said...
It is a shame that more adaptations don't translate well, for whatever reason.
I recently had a chance to watch Salem's Lot for the first time. Aware it was a tad on the cheesy side before hand, I still wanted to watch it, and I still ended up disappointed by it. I cringe at ever having to sit down and watch the sequel--I can't believe they made a sequel.
And I must confess to enjoyed 1408, thanks in large part to John Cusack.

The Tommyknockers is a Stephen King phenomenon, in that BOTH the book and the movie (another TV miniseries) sucked.

So apparently a glitch has made certain gyms filled with eggs which can't be battled! This is a very interesting turn of events. According to the source, the problems have started occurring in New York and it's being done by Instinct players. I don't think the team matters as it could've been done by anyone. Overall, this is quite annoying for players playing the game fair. The spoofing and boting has to stop at some point! I've even heard of rumors where players have been boting till they reach the max levels. I'm sure that Niantec can put a stop to that. Only time will tell. In the meantime, watch out for those egg gyms!
