|Theater Review:
"DROWNING CROW" at Goodman Theatre
Regina Taylors "Drowning Crow" receiving its world premiere at the Goodman Theatre takes such obvious and laborious efforts to stretch the boundaries of performance that it made me crave the full-bodied clarity and unobtrusive profundity of a classic, well-crafted play. Yet, ironically, Taylor (known for her multitiered linguistic/rhythmic experiments) has followed the traditional formula to the letter in relation to her source.
Her relentless drive to rip open the seams of conventional dramatic structure, however, becomes as tedious and disappointing as her main characters meandering quest to find his artistic voice in shallow avant-garde musings.
In her African-American reimagining of Anton Chekhovs "The Seagull," Taylor has devised relevant character and thematic parallels. Its when she entwines elements of Shakespeare, ONeill, conceptual art and the endangered Gullah culture of South Carolinas Sea islands within this tragic story of an artist struggling for his voice to be heard in a self-absorbed society that her work loses its focus. And, most distressing, Taylor succumbs to the same sort of art-for-arts sake babble that causes her protagonist (Constantine Trip, a.k.a. C-Trip) to be so misunderstood by his family and friends.
The plays overriding theme is that, in the process of creating new modes of expression, the artist must always be conscious of a purpose of having something meaningful to say. But that point, together with C-Trips impending suicide, get so thunderously hammered into audiences heads, one soon realizes "Drowning Crow" comes up with a lot of fancy ways to say the same thing over and over again. Each scene either begins or ends with a gunshot. A handgun is projected onto the stage. And the crow imagery threatens to become a parody of the original "Seagull" from C-Trips now-incongruous shooting of the injured bird to the actors circling the stage in black trench coats and flapping their arms.
In Taylors version of "The Seagull," C-Trip is a tortured "multimedia conceptual artist" at odds with his glamorous classical actress-mother, Josephine Nicholas Ark, and her popular TV writer-lover, Robert Alexander Trigor. C-Trips despair plummets when his actress-girlfriend Hannah Jordan, with Hollywood dreams, has an affair with Trigor a move that flings the aging Josephine into a painful obsession with holding on to her man at all costs.
Surrounding the brooding Hamlet-esque C-Trip on the familys Sea Island estate are Josephines dying retired-judge brother, Peter Nicholas, and a clairvoyant maid, Jackie, who fears for C-Trips dismal fate. A sub-plot centers on the troubled Bow family --Sammy, the bombastic and irritable manager of the estate; Paula, his unfulfilled wife having an affair with the local obstetrician; and their substance-abusing daughter, Mary, who loves C-Trip but unwillingly marries Simon, an earnest but un-hip schoolteacher.
Director Kate Whoriskey has worked closely with choreographer Randy Duncan to foster a metaphoric sense of movement one of the more successful aspects of this production. Chester Gregory and Paul Oakley Stovall portray servants who take on a variety of abstract dance roles, ranging from the softly revelatory to the wildly farcical. For the most part, they subtly advance -- and hover over -- the action. But the scene where they schlepp around Josephines designer luggage seemed like a remnant from the Goodmans production of "The Visit" starring Chita Rivera.
Without a doubt, the whole staging is gorgeous to look at especially Birgit Rattenborg Wises crisp and sensuously sunlit island attire. Robert Perrys Greek-inspired set, with its tottering columns, is juxtaposed against the stirring elements and his imposing African mask designs. Robert Perrys lush yet ominous lighting; and Rob Milburns and Michael Bodeens Caribbean/urban-tinged sound design evoke natural disaster boiling beneath the breezily idyllic sea aura. One of the more evocative visuals has the cast pulling stacks of suitcases out of a wall they adorned in a previous scene.
The actors also boldly tear into their roles. Suzzanne Douglas self-centered but fretfully aging celebrity Josephine breathlessly navigates the perils of theatrical triumph and impending mortality. Shané Williams as the starry-eyed Hannah delivers an achingly heartfelt transformation scene; and Jason Delane injects into C-Trip a quietly simmering torment.
Nevertheless, the flat, pop culture- and sociology-riddled script tends to undermine their humanity. Its as if the characters are also part of a self-important multimedia installation. And Taylor often gets tangled in her copious references to and dissections of African-American cliches including "a mind is a terrible thing to waste" and Josephines haughty gibes at "Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk."
What gets lost in this hodgepodge of images and ideas is the dire state of the Gullah culture, which forms the basis of Taylors adaptation. That subject deserves its own play. In fact, the playwright seems hampered by her retrofitted parallels.
The overall experience, while constantly awash in Taylors call for purposeful stretching of theatrical forms, did not spark any urgent revelations. Instead, the production mirrors the gratingly self-aware pretensions of C-Trips benign Afro-hip-hop multimedia performance piece that so enrages his high-minded mother.
"Drowning Crow" runs through February 10 at the Goodman Theatre, 170 N. Dearborn. Tickets: $35-$50. Call 312-443-3800 or log onto www.goodman-theatre.org.


text: International Clients Hardwicke has many years' experience advising and acting for clients world-wide and much of our work is international in character. Our barristers have particular experience of working in Europe, the Middle East (including the Gulf States), Africa, Asia, the US and the Caribbean. Many of our members have lived overseas and speak a range of languages, from French, German, Italian and Spanish to Hindu, Urdu, Japanese and Farsi. Several of our members are called to the Bar in other jurisdictions and many more gain ad hoc admission to the Bars of other jurisdictions if required for a particular case. Our International Experience To see examples of our international work, please visit our International Experience page. Q & A for International Organisations The English Bar Unlike in some countries, in the UK, the legal profession is divided into two separate branches: solicitors and barristers. Whilst the differences between the two professions has changed over the years, there are still a number of distinctions that generally apply. Solicitors are generally responsible for transactional and non-contentious work. When disputes arise, solicitors are usually involved in the investigation, preparation and management of the claims. Barristers are a specialist advisors and advocates; experts in their areas of law, barristers are often asked by solicitors to advise on technical and difficult points of law and procedure. Barristers are also pre-eminent trial advocates and, in addition to presenting a case in a court or other tribunal, will often be involved in determining the strategy for disputes from the outset. Another important distinction is that, traditionally, barristers in England and Wales were prohibited from forming partnerships, incorporating companies and sharing profits. For that reason the vast majority of English barristers are self-employed but collectively share the occupation of a building (Chambers) and share the cost of administration and practice management. Traditionally, the Bar has been a referral profession with instructions coming from solicitors. In recent years those rules have been relaxed and now various professionals and overseas lawyers and clients can instruct barristers direct. Our practice team can assist you to find the best way to instruct a barrister. The first point of contact when engaging a barrister is to deal with the practice management team, who manage the barristers' diaries, negotiate fees and can recommend the right barrister or team of barristers for your case. How we can help you Whichever jurisdiction you are in, and whether you work in private practice or in-house, our barristers will be able to help you. Instructing an English barrister has several advantages, including: Advocacy: Barristers are first and foremost trial advocates and English barristers are sought after for their ability to present cases in the most effective and persuasive way possible. Expertise: Our barristers are also specialists in their individual fields of practice and their expertise in particular areas and sectors means that their advice is often invaluable. Independence: Unlike lawyers in many jurisdictions, English barristers are generally self-employed and because of this independence is a core value you can be assured that they bring an impartial, objective view to every case. Cost effectiveness: barristers generally have lower overheads and are therefore able to charge lower fees than solicitors. Experience: because the Bar is primarily a referral profession, barristers are used to working closely with overseas lawyers, leading to improved efficiency and the delivery of an integrated legal service. Services for international clients Our members offer the following services to international clients: Advice on the law and procedure of England and Wales. If your dispute is based in England and Wales or if the law governing your dispute is English, our barristers can offer expert advice on all aspects of law and procedure. Advice on English Contracts. We are specialists in the interpretation and enforceability of contracts governed by the law in England and Wales, or the laws of other common law countries. Commercial Advice. Barristers are sought after for specialist advice on commercial situations presenting legal, factual or technical difficulties. Advocacy in the Courts of England and Wales. We have a great deal of experience helping overseas clients with the court processes in England and Wales. If your are a foreign lawyer or business based abroad, our barristers will be able to give you an initial assessment of your case at very competitive rates and advise your on the most suitable firm of solicitors to use. (Under English law, a solicitor will have to be instructed once court proceedings are to be commenced.) Advocacy in domestic and international arbitration. More international and commercial arbitrations take place in London than in any other city in the world. Overseas lawyers can directly instruct English barristers to appear as advocates in these arbitrations. English barristers are also able to act as advocates in arbitrations almost everywhere in the world. At Hardwicke, we have a great deal of experience acting in international arbitrations. For more information about our arbitration experience see our Arbitration page. Advocacy in courts overseas. In many jurisdictions, particularly in Asia and the Caribbean, English barristers can be admitted to the local Bar to appear before the local courts. Our barristers are often engaged as advocates in these jurisdictions. Expert witness services. Often disputes arise and are dealt with abroad but require expert evidence in relation to English law or procedure. Our barristers are all experts in their fields and are often called upon to give expert evidence in overseas litigation. Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution. A focal point of a barrister's practice is the resolution of disputes. Sometimes this will be in court or arbitration but much more frequently, disputes are resolved by negotiation. Our barristers' commercial approach to disputes makes them pragmatic negotiators and members appear frequently in mediations worldwide. We also have experience of hybrid ADR processes such as Adjudication/ Mediaiton (Adj/Med) and Arbitration/ Mediation (Arb/Med). For more information about our expertise in many different forms of ADR, see our ADR page. Acting as Arbitrator, Mediator, Adjudicator or Dispute Board Member. In addition to acting as advocates in all forms of disputes, many of our members sit as arbitrators, adjudicators and dispute board members and many more accept appointments as mediators. How to instruct an English barrister We are happy to accept instructions directly from overseas lawyers businesses and clients. Your first point of contact will be with our Practice Management Team. The practice managers have extensive knowledge of all of our barristers, their experience and their upcoming commitments. They will work with you to understand your case and help you choose the right barrister or team of barristers to deal with your case. The practice management team can also advise you as to the likely cost of the work required (which will usually depend on the nature of the work, the amount of work and the seniority and standing of the barrister(s) concerned). All of our barristers have detailed CVs on this website so you can see their experience. If you require our barristers to travel to you or if you need facilities here, such as conference facilities, the practice management team will be able to arrange this. If your dispute is in the Courts of England and Wales, the regulations of the English legal system mean that a solicitor will need to be instructed to deal with your case. We highly recommend that you contact a barrister first so that you can obtain an impartial and cost-effective assessment of your case. We can advise you on the most suitable firms of solicitors to use for your dispute. How to contact us Our contact details can be found on the Contact Us page.

Wally tells Dilbert, "Uh-oh . . . New father coming this way." Wally says, "I'm out of here." A man says, "Hi, Dilbert. Have you seen my baby pictures yet?" Dilbert thinks, "Groan." Dilbert thinks, "I'll have to come up with tons of compliments or I'll seem shallow." Dilbert looks at the photographs and says, "This is the most beautiful baby in the universe. Looks just like you. She should be a model." Dilbert looks at the next photo and says, "Wait . . . This picture looks different. Did you have two babies?" The man replies, "The first picture was our pug dog, Winston. It got in there by mistake." Dilbert says, "I hope that little misunderstanding won't detract from the perceived sincerity of the following compliments . . ."

Fall is one of the best times of year to travel and explore new, exciting destinations. One of the most impressive and memorable fall activities to enjoy is witnessing the stunning fall foliage in various places across the country, as leaves transform into brilliant shades of yellow, orange and red. It is also a great time to enjoy many festivals and events. The following are 8 of the best fall destinations to look forward to where you can benefit from the sights of gorgeous fall foliage and participate in other festive autumn activities.
1. Denver, CO
The month of October is when the foliage takes center stage in Denver. Two of the best places to enjoy the leaves are along High Line Canal or Cherry Creek Bike Trail, which is lined with yellow cottonwood trees. For beer lovers, there are also a ton of brew fests during the fall in Denver, including the Great American Beer Festival, the Denver Beer Fest and Denver Oktoberfest.
2. Portland, ME
One of the best places to view the local fall foliage in Portland, Maine is to go right outside of town and hike up to the top of Bradbury Mountain. Or you can use the bike-sharing Zagster program to bike around. The highly acclaimed Harvest on the Harbor food festival takes place in October.
3. Boston
Fall, of course, includes plenty of back-to-school excitement in Boston. Many of the leading bookstores like Harvard Book Store and Brookline Booksmith have plenty of events and readings in the fall. The best local foliage can be enjoyed during the early fall by taking a walk around the Harvard Arnold Arboretum. Frog Pond opens on Boston Common in mid-November where you can enjoy ice skating.
4. Providence, RI
The capital of Rhode Island is transformed into the perfect combination of urban and pastoral charms in the fall. The daytime hours are lit up with blazing foliage, while bonfires from WaterFire line the rivers of the city – illuminating the night sky in October. Iron Pour takes place at Halloween time , where steel working is transformed by Steel Yard into live performance art.
5. Chicago, IL
Early autumn features crisp, cool weather in Chicago along with numerous world-renowned festivals and events. September features the Hyde Park Jazz Festivals, Riot Fest, and World Music Festival. There is also plenty of beautiful fall foliage to enjoy in the Windy City in autumn.
6. Savannah, GA
There are plenty of haunted sights to be enjoyed, along with the autumn leaves, in Savannah during the fall. There are haunted hotels such as the 17Hundred90 Inn, haunted pub crawls and the City of the Dead Tour hosted by Blue Orb. There are also plenty of culinary festivals to enjoy in the falls, including Savannah Bacon Festival that takes place in September and the southern-Jewish food festival Shalom Y'all that is held in late October.
7. San Francisco
The best time to take a "summer vacation" in the Bay Area is the fall. While summer tends to be foggy and chilly, fall is more likely to be sunny and warm. It is a very good time to enjoy a diverse mixture of events, ranging from the International Dragon Boat Festival to the Ghiradelli Chocolate Festival.
8. Santa Fe
Fall is chile harvest season in Santa Fe. The aroma of roasted peppers emanates from the roadside stands during this time of year. Early October is a great time to enjoy a beautiful drive along Aspen Vista trail to view gorgeous fall foliage, while the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta takes place in October.

Biography of Robin Cathleen Coale
Descended from a line of powerful female healers, Robin's healing work combines clairvoyance and intelligence with deep sensitivity and compassion. Her natural awareness and connection with non-ordinary realities enable her to easily access and traverse the shamanic realms, and, with the help of her spiritual allies, provide transformational healing to her clients. Robin's healing practice blends core shamanic techniques such as soul retrieval, power animal retrieval, extraction and ancestral work with her mediumship, channeling, and hands on abilities for naming and clearing blockages in the body.
Although born to do healing work, Robin came to the healing arts by a different path. After graduating from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA, majoring in Political Science and Public Administration, she received a fellowship to work in the California State Senate. What followed was 16 years in legislative politics in California and the Western United States, including: Chief of Staff to the Assembly Minority Leader; Director of Governmental Affairs for the Western United States for US Sprint; contract lobbyist before the California Legislature, representing a wide range of corporate and non-profit clients, including Chevron, Alamo Rental Cars, and various school districts. Robin also played a major role in pushing through the gun control law in California.
Despite the success she achieved in her political career, a deep spiritual longing pervaded her life. She began seeing and communicating with spirits, the first being an angel. She left politics and earned a Master's degree in Counseling. After receiving her MA, Robin worked extensively with children, teaching and providing individual and group counseling to hundreds of children ages K-17, in Santa Fe public schools. Through it all, she continued to see and communicate with spirits, including ancestors and ascended masters. It was made clear to Robin that it was time to accept and employ the gifts of her lineage.
Robin studied with Sandra Ingerman, author of Soul Retrieval and Medicine for the Earth, completing her teacher training program and participating in workshops in Soul Retrieval, Healing with the Light, and Medicine for the Earth. Robin also studied for three years with Michael Harner, author of The Way of the Shaman, through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.
Robin is a licensed psychotherapist and has a successful private practice in Santa Fe, New Mexico where she provides shamanic healing, psychotherapy and counseling to individuals, couples and children. She also does long-distance work and teaches shamanic journeying. Robin is a member of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology and the Society for Shamanic Practitioners.
For private appointments or to arrange a workshop in your area, Robin can be reached at 505-690-0671, or at email@example.com.

Living in London meant this was a decent 4.5hr trip, we therefore stopped off in Derbyshire on the Friday for a family visit, some of mum's delicious grub and a cuddle with our daft boarder x poodle 'Alfie'. He's a lovable rogue, with minstrel like eyes and is simply adorable.
On Saturday morning we had a quick breakfast and hopped in the car to complete our journey in the gorgeous Spring sunshine. Restaurant L'enclume is situated at the most Southerly point of the Lake District National Park just inland from the Kent Channel. It is one of the most picturesque villages I have ever been to, and just so happens to be the home of Sticky Toffee pudding which I didn't realise until wandering around - bonus! Chef Simon Rogan lives within the Village and owns a Bistro- Rogan and Co, a 6 acre farm and a pub (The Pig and Whistle) as well as the L'enclume empire of hotel and restaurant.
The hotel has 18 rooms spread around the quaint village, all individually decorated and all very cosy. We chose the Garden Suite, shown below, as this gave us a small private patio, access to the garden, a HUGE bathroom and a lovely lounge area.
|Pictures from L'enclume website
We arrived and checked in at 3pm, unpacked our bags and had a wonder into the village in search of a pub showing the Grand National. Felling very 'non-local' wandering into one pub we then found ourselves in the Royal Oak Inn, which is a traditional country pub with a riverside beer garden serving local ales and food.
Winning nothing, we drank up in search of some champagne to drink before our meal and a snack. A small village store called the Red Pepper sells kitchen ware as well as delicious wines, spirits, ales and every other type of booze imaginable. Some well known brands are sold, it however mainly focus' on specialist produce we therefore ended up with a Normandy Cider, which is a 'sipping cider' and was to be drank 'more like wine'. Our grumbling tummies were settled at The Pig and Whistle, with a delicious white onion soup and a terrine. Both the perfect amount to tie us over till later on.
Our table was booked for 7:30pm so after a long day we got back to the room, drank the cider and freshened up before the 50 yard walk round the corner.
The main restaurant is gorgeously decorated in a Scandinavian contemporary style, keeping a lot of the original features of the building and adding a modern extension of glass on so you are sat in the garden, which luckily is where we were seated as it's so beautiful. No white table cloths and friendly chatty staff greet you as you walk through and sit down, which is something you don't often expect or see at a 2 Starred place, it was a very relaxed atmosphere from the word go - perfect.
both pictures from the L'enclume website
We settled on an aperitif of English sparkling Rose as suggested by the sommelier 'James' and browsed the 17 course set menu that would be beginning shortly. Now, the menu here is extensive, and so much detail would go into this post as I have far too much to say you'd all get bored. So, I will show all photos and simply comment on highlights.
Amuse Bouche(s):
|Oyster pebbles. The leaves tasted exactly like Oysters if a little more sour.
|Smoked eel with ham fat - our favourite of the nibbles absolutely full of flavour.
|Cockle, seaweed and horseradish
|Kohlrabi, eggs and truffle - our least favourite dish of the evening due to the saltiness of the dish
|Lichen, frozen ox, sour cream - delicious, the shaved frozen ox tongue was surprisingly punchy in taste
|3 different types of bread with Churned butter. Onion and thyme, wholemeal and pumpernickel.
Onto the main event(s):
|Cod 'yolk', sage cream, pea shoots,salt and vinegar. The salt and pepper rice a favourite from our Roganic trip still delivered the exact incredible flavouring
|Westcombe dumplings, vegetable broth, beetroot and shoots - incredibly cheesy dumplings with the sweet beetroot broth worked perfectly together and I could have had a huge bowl of this pretty dish.
|Valley venison, charcoal oil, mustard and fennel - tartar texture this was so pretty and the charcoal oil was a really unusual flavour but still very tasty.
|Valley mushrooms, yellow pea and lettuce,smoked marrow and stonecrop - some really yummy flavours and textures, especially the sour stonecrop leaves. One of my favourites.
|Mussels in their own juice,cabbage and leek. A really pretty spring like dish.
|Artichokes with goats cheese, tarragon and malt. One of the restaurants staple dishes.
Butter poached pollock, carrots, Manx queenies and celandine - Mr D's absolute favourite of the evening (probably due to the butter poaching!), this was an absolute success, the scallops seasoned with their own row giving a deeper scallop flavouring.
|Mutton from Lindal, kale,grilled celeriac and ramsons. The was my stand out dish. Here we both had a glass of red, Lirac 'Chapelle de Maillac' as suggested by the sommelier.
Sweets: Here we decided to have tasters of pudding wines and James kindly matched 3 different types with each dish.
|Rhubarb, brown butter, sorrel and apple. The yoghurt shavings on top were absolutely incredible and tasted toffee like.
|Coniston oatmeal stout with rye, pear and elderberry vinegar.
|Sheep's milk, ginger bread, wild chervil and caramel. This was incredible, popping the sphere produced the sweet caramel sauce which complimented perfectly the sharp cheese and ginger.
|Sea buckthorn, sweet cheese and malt - a fun and innovative ending to a fantastic evening.
After this we didn't want the evening cut short and so ordered a measure of the most delicious plum Sake we have ever tasted. Finishing off with some (not needed) 10yr Tawny port...it was a special occasion after all...we then meandered (or wall bumped in my case) back to our bolt hole for then evening.
Not feeling as though we had drank the bar dry (how?!) the following morning we went for breakfast. There was a choice of continental or several cooked breakfast options served at the bistro. We both chose the Full English which luckily was a dainty portion of sausage, bacon, eggs (any way you like them), tomato, mushroom and black pudding. A perfect amount to see us through the journey home, perfectly cooked and top notch ingredients.

There are some reports surfacing today that Joe Kinnear wants to make West Ham's Matthew Upson, his first signing at Newcastle United.
Matthew Upson to Newcastle – very unlikely
While it is true that Newcastle have fancied Upson for some time now, and when he's played for the England side recently he's looked a good player, center-back is not where we need to be spending £8M in January.
The top two positions that need strengthening are left back and central midfield, and they have to be the two top priorities in January.
Joe says he expects to bring in three players on loan through the end of the season so we don't know if that would mean Upson moving over to Tyneside on loan, but we doubt it.
Joe Kinnear said a few days ago that he will have funds to sign a couple of £6m players, but it would take more than £6M to get Upson.
And that would not be money well spent right now by Newcastle as we have Coloccini, Taylor and Bassong fighting it out for the two central defensive positions, although Upson may be a good buy in the summer.
At that time we should be looking at getting a 4th top center-back to the club, as we expect Cacapa and Edgar to be free agents in the summer, and move away from the club.
Reports suggest West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola, who is under increasing pressure at Upton Park, because of poor results, is being told that he will be able to re-invest a certain amount of any transfer fees to reshape his new squad.
The 6'1″ tall 29 year-old, who came through the Arsenal Youth Academy, played 113 times with 6 goals for Birmingham City from 2003 through 2007, and since then he's played 44 times at West Ham with one goal.
But we'd be very surprised if a deal for Upson is struck in January, very surprised indeed, although he's more than a decent player.
It will however be interesting for Newcastle fans to see the caliber of player Joe signs for Newcastle in January, as it will tell us the size of his ambitions at the famous Tyneside club.
But right now we're just pleased that he seems to have convinced Mike Ashley to sign five new players in the January window, and now he and Dennis Wise need to execute on those plans.
What do you think about Upson?
Comments welcome.

I've put this link on here before, really want this shirt to go to a geordie! I paid good money for this shirt, hence the price. Had it valued also and I have it on there cheap, know it doesn't seem it! If none of you can afford it, its worth a look anyway as a toon fan 😉
If we bring him,then you can't have 2 excelent CB's on the bench,but we could play Coloccini as a DM in that case.
Didn't Joe come out and say that we're not signing any central defenders?
But then again didn't Keegan not want South Americans? However who was buying when he was here is debatable.
You can't have too many good central defenders though, tbh Coloccini and Upson would be rather good, wouldn't it?
Looks like Mareque for left back, and god knows who for midfield.
7M for an injury prone player is not what is needed at this time. He is a very good central defender and would not say no if he came, just don't think we need to spend that kind of money on a central defender at this time.
We need defensive midfielder and attacking midfieldr urgent and competition/cover at left back….
Other two replacements will be dependant on who leaves in January; i.e. Edgar, Cacapa, Smith, Ameobi, maybe Owen!
I would say 29, almost 30 is aging !!!
Upson fits the typical player photoofit of the last few years
1) extremely Injury prone
2) Aging yes at nearly 30!!
3) way too much in transfer fees
4) Huge wages
5) We already have players in that position.
Kinnear is extremely mediocre and I would not trust him at all in the transfer market.
We would someone ruthless and in touch.
Upson is no doubt a good player, had an outstanding game for the national side, last outing.
Would he be a good buy for the toon ?
Yeah if the price was right, say 4-5million, any more would be better spent on that key player most badly needed, a midfielder who can organize the team, who can put his foot in and play that killer pass and score the occasional goal.
Not easy to find but worth spending money on.
Face it Joey Barton is never going to be that player and Guthrie is only a bench warmer.
As far as a left back we have one of the best prospects in the PL "Bassong" for those who noticed it the guy has the making of a better left back than a CB.
He has pace in going forward and only lacks an end product, which can be easily ratified with coaching.
I really think our main requirements are an attacking and defensive inside midfield pairing.
And of course would`nt hurt to have a few young prospects as backups to a squad still thin on the ground.
Upson is class but Id be suprised and shocked if we managed to sign anyone? The last I could remember was our owner was trying to sell us.
I hope I am proved wrong and If so id love Upson to sign as he is quality. Play him alongside Colo with Bassong and Taylor as reserves. Still need a RB and LB to challenge Beye and Enrique.

Somehow it seems that not one of the movies set in the Middle East I have watched so far is described on the internet in a way I can agree with. At the same time, not one of them has been less than educational for me, though I also can't say I have fully understood any.
Take Hyena Road- a Canadian movie set in Afghanistan but actually shot in the Jordanian desert.
Look it up on Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, all you want; and you'll learn that it is about
Three men, three different paths, caught in conflict but brought together to save lives: a highly skilled sniper who can't think of his targets as human; an intelligence officer who has never killed while on duty; and a legendary Afghan warrior who left war behind but gets pulled back to battle.
…really?! Like, really? Wow. Apparently I don't even understand English properly. Because see, I thought I had watched a story about a guy who was deeply in love with his colleague he was having a baby with, but died in a terrorist ambush (that would be the sniper); another guy who went against his own instincts in order to follow the rules and prevent his men from escalating conflict with their impulsive reactions (guess he was the intelligence officer); and a third guy who is meant to be some sort of Afghani ghost who has lived five lives already, but ooops dies like everybody else in the end. A story of war, death, desperation and disillusionment, over all. A story that reminded me of a similarly dreadful book I read this summer, "Il corpo umano" (The human body) by Paolo Giordano, an ex-military guy who writes about an Italian troop in Afghanistan. A story where really, the only positive thing might be that a bunch of children who has been abducted by the evil ones get freed and run back to their parents' arms, but in a way what's the point if they may be brutally killed two hours later?
I thought it was a good movie, hey. Well-made, for sure. But had I read those descriptions before the film screening, I definitely would have taken advantage of the Q&A session with the film directors there (one of whom, Paul Gross, also acted in the film- he was that so-called intelligence officer) to ask them what their intentions really were. And I dare to disagree with the Something Something Governor of Canada who gave a short speech before the screening: he seems like a really amiable person, but please, it just isn't right to introduce this film by saying "you're in for a marvellous treat". Very posh and classy; just not appropriate if you ask me.
Question of the day: will I ever be able to understand why anybody would ever want to make use of violence on others? And careful, it's a more than double-sided question. Everybody is involved. And I don't even know if I should wish I understood, or if it's better not knowing.

There are still wild places in Toronto. They lurk in obscure areas biding their time. They wait till we have run our course - then will reclaim what is rightfully theirs. Photographer Eric Weiner creeps up on some of these wild places capturing them in their effulgent fecundity while they least expect it. The exhibit ran March 4, 2011 thru to April 24.

What do Bud Lite and making love in a canoe have in common?
We just finished watching the documentary Beer Wars. In addition to producing subpar beer, it seems Anheuser-Busch engages in some insidious tactics to squash small brewers.
Mr. Crankypants isn't very happy about this. In fact, right after watching the documentary, he armed himself with a tiki torch and pitchfork, ready to storm Anheuser-Busch's lair. I told him to relax, and then he mumbled something about that being a pitiful battle cry when dealing with calculating, corporate fucks.
I told him that there will always be corporate fucks out there doing anything to make a buck, and that it's counterproductive to get angry. I told him to stick the tiki torch in the back yard, light it, and we'd lounge in the back yard enjoying a few beers from local brewers who love beer more than they love money.
And that's how we ended up on a Friday afternoon enjoying beers from two Kansas brewers: Free State and Tallgrass Brewing.
drink locally,
PS: Mr. Crankypants also wondered why any one would want to drink a beer brewed by some Missouri pukes.

Behold the fat, glistening tear-drop of Peter Hitchens' that spells the demise of male privilege. The fall of Harvey Weinsten and now the Westminster sexual harassment scandal has prompted a deluge of tears from men mourning the loss of their power. "With great power comes great responsibility", said Uncle Ben from Spider-man. That poignant chunk of wisdom appears to have sailed straight over the heads of some men in power, who instead have abused that responsibility as a vehicle to grope women.
Pre- Harvey Weinstein, it probably never occurred to these men in power sat on their thrones built on the cloudy plumes of their egos, that they would have to think twice about staying their wandering hands. But now the question rattling the minds of every Harvey Weinstein, seedy politician and average misogynistic Joe of the world is: "To grope, or not to grope?" That is indeed the question. It's this thought that is eating away at the minds of the likes of Daily Mail columnist Peter Hitchens, whose article published yesterday is the perfect example in which to see the unfurling of male egos at the mere thought of emboldened women owning the narrative and speaking out against their abusers. As the Arabic adage goes, 'A woman's voice is a revolution', and it's this voice, bold and resolute, that is right now the mother of all male crocodile tears and crumbling male egos.
The unfathomable leap Hitchens makes in his article from the Westinster sexual harassment scandal to the Niqab is almost as absurd as Daily Mail readers going red-faced over Nadiya Hussain celebrating Christmas: It's just downright bonkers. Apparently, if you're a modern liberal calling out sexual harassment, you have something in common with a 'militant Islamist' who wants to gender segregate and cover the entire planet with a Niqab (face veil). On the one hand Hitchens' 'old fashioned' and 'prudish Victorian' sensibilities are incensed by the seediness that has gripped gender relations in our country, a direct result of the big bogey-woman that is equality and the F-word that is feminism. On the other, he lambasts the 'Islamic world' (as if Islam functioned on an entirely different planet), a world where the merry mixing of the sexes without black shrouds, physical contact and (God forbid) handshakes, is not permitted. He laments the demise of the 'old code' of the Victorian world where women were made to wear excruciating corsets, every Mrs Bennet was eagerly seeking a suitable arranged marriage for her daughters, and romantic sophistry in public went as far as talking about the weather as a kind of sexual innuendo or exchanging longing, smouldering glances with your intended in-between synchronised dances. That society was sexual repression incarnate. Brits weren't exactly blasting the Victorian equivalent of Marvin Gaye's 'Sexual Healing' on the streets. If you're struggling to visualise all this, you need only watch a Jane Austen period drama to get a sense of what I'm saying.
The sheer irony is that it's inflammatory views like Hitchens' that are on par with that of this phantom 'militant Islamist' (a multi-syllabic word which sounds more like it is supposed to confuse and stoke fear than it sheds light on the situation). Like many, Hitchens has jumped onto the very modish bandwagon of misogyny combined with big, bad Islamophobia. There's nothing quite like killing two squawking birds with one stone now, is there? His joking suggestion that the Niqab is a panacea to the plague of sexual assaults that have been a reality of women's lives since time immemorial, sounds like the plot-line to a far-right dystopian novel which involves a Muslim Freddie Kruger as the anti-protagonist and terrified men fleeing into the night. Why throw women under the bus when you can throw visibly Muslim women who wear the Niqab under the victim-blaming bus as well? Hitchens need only speak to an actual rape victim or a visibly Muslim woman who has also been subject to sexual assault to know it's not clothing that draws in a perpetrator, it's the perpetrator. Period. Of course this will be a shock to his prudish Victorian ways, but there's no time like the present to break that Islamophobia fortified, misogynistic echo-chamber. As for the image, how Orientalist – I mean original. Never mind it's a stock-image that looks more like a screenshot from a makeup tutorial promoting a cosmetic brand to get the smoky, kohl-lined eyes of Angelina Jolie. It's the same tiresome conveyor belt of click-bait stereotypes and images used to feed the hungry masses who internalise these narrow conceptions of Muslim women and project them onto living, breathing human beings.
With so much mansplaining from men advising how and if women should speak out about sexual assault, to quote Nigel Farage's favourite adjective, what exactly is the 'proper' way for women to make it obvious that we don't give consent to a man's roving hands drawn into the sanctuary of our bodies? If we were to shout "YOUR GROPING HAND SHALL NOT PASS!" with the baritone gusto of Gandalf the Grey, or better yet clobber the fool square in the face, (the mantra 'fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee' comes to mind), I'll wager we would get accused of being bullish and manly faster than you can say 'Margaret Thatcher'. In short, there is no easy way to avoid treading on frail male egos erected on a foundation of making women feel inferior. So stampede we must.
Hitchens is not alone in his diatribe against the growing number of women who are becoming emboldened to speak out. Telegraph columnist Charles Moore, who by-and-by is "praying women share power with men, not crush us", is male privilege incarnate. I can imagine his hands clasped tightly, a glistening halo circling above his head as he fervently prays an army of Boudicca's and Amazonian warriors don't crush the patriarchy with their iron fist of egalitarian justice. I hope he never comes across Beyoncé's 'Who Run The World Girls'. He might just have a cardiac arrest envisaging the matriarchal world she created in that music video.
Now a revolution is afoot, led by the women who bravely came forward, the Tamara Burkes and the Rose McGowans of the world, not forgetting the many, many women who haven't come forward. In the title of his article, Hitchens asks 'What will women gain from all this 'squawking' about sex pests?' Well Peter, for one thing, accountability. For too long men have lived with impunity, assaulting women as they see fit for little than a fleeting gain of sadistic pleasure on their part, and a life-time of trauma inflicted on their victims. Speaking out won't stop sex assaults to be sure, but if the shocking number of women coming forward signals the death-rattle of the toxic culture of victim-blaming that has silenced women for so long, I for one will happily lend myself to the cause. You say the future generations will laugh at us as we lose ourselves in the kerfuffle. I say they will glower with pride as they look back at how hard we fought to create a world where no means no, and your actions have consequences, no matter your status in the world.

I'm sure anyone with a chronic illness has heard the phrase "you are always ill" spouted at you as though you're doing it on purpose or perhaps, "you should do something about that," as though you don't already. I think it is hard for people who don't have one to understand sometimes and in turn I understand why. The concept of feeling ill most of the time doesn't quite compute if you don't live with it. I've been called boring more times than I can count because I have to conserve energy for the most important things in my life. I'll go home early from nights out just because I don't have the energy to waste if I'm not 100% enjoying it. I'd rather keep that energy for a seminar the next day.
However, in honesty, those people who can dance all night make me jealous. I hate that I cannot do that, I hate that I'm told "just try a little harder" as though that would work. My body just can't handle it and those kinds of negative thoughts filter into a whole new realm of body hate. Jealousy is the main emotion I have to fight. I remember I couldn't do P.E at school without embarrassingly collapsing so I ended up not doing it. I wanted to scream at those people who skipped it because they didn't like it. I wanted to tell them they were ungrateful because they had bodies that worked and mine didn't.
I had body image issues from a young age and not being able to exercise took a serious toll. I wanted to be fit and I wanted to be healthy but I felt trapped in a hole of illness that I couldn't escape. It was easy to hate my body. I wanted to lose weight but I couldn't because I was too ill. That is how eating became my main form of control; the only thing I could control. The scariest thing for me is the fact that my illness is ultimately uncontrollable sometimes. As a control freak, that is a source of stress to me. I wake up in the morning and just settle into seeing how my body is feeling because I will never know the night before. I just pray I'm feeling well enough to go about my daily life.
My biggest fear can be that I will one day end up completely alone. I fear that friends can only cope with you missing things for so long until they move on or think you're being difficult. I fear that partners can only take so much until they want to be with the fun girl who can do all the things you can't. Those are some of the darkest parts of my thoughts, which I try to dispel.
The toughest part is simply that I want to like my body. I remind myself that my brain, my personality, my talents all come from my body as well. It is a scientific way to look at it but it helps. It helps me not to have a separate body and soul. To me, I simply am my body and it is everything I have. I love my hands so I can draw, my vocal chords so I can sing, my eyes so I can see. I remind myself that I like who I am and that I don't want to be someone else. That everyone has issues even if you don't see them or hear about them. My favourite Stephen Hawking quote sums this up perfectly: "However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there is life, there is hope."

Violence in Israel after 22-year-old killed by police
November 10 , 2014
Violence in Israel has escalated after it was revealed that a 22-year-old Palestinian man was shot and killed by the police when he seemed to be running away, contradicting earlier police claims that Kheir Hamdan had been shot when he was attempting to stab an officer.
The shooting, which took place in Galilee town, was caught on CCTV camera, according to media reports.
The incident triggered clashes as thousands of residents of the town threw rocks at the police. Unrest has also been reported from other places.

NungwiNovember 23, 2017 in Tanzania
2 days Nungwi at Makofi Guest House.
Compared to the rest of Sansibar, Nungwi is full of tourists, with solid hotels right at the beach front, but all in all, there still weren't too many people around.
The beach is nice and not tide effected, swimming at low tide is possible 👍.
We went to a turtle rescue place and had a nice candle light dinner with a table right on the beach!
Oh, and all our spread out luggage was moved from one room to another after the first night - without our knowing or presence!? 😳Read more

Preview - Tutorial 34, "Chutes & Ladders"
A brief excerpt from Tutorial 34:
I apologize for the cheesy title; I just thought I could tie it in somehow. This month, we're going to talk about ladders, and manipulating where we fall on a competition ladder in an attempt to position ourselves for potential bye runs throughout eliminations and at times to avoid opponents that we'd rather not compete against until the late rounds (if at all). This column doesn't really have anything to do with chutes, although some of our cars are equipped with parachutes to help us get them whoa'd up after a pass. Given that tie in, and the beloved board game ("Chutes and Ladders"), I thought my title was somewhat clever. I digress…

Mackerel Finds Cow
I was fishing about 150 yards out, said Ichiro Shintsubo of Irvine at Fishermans Landing January 20, and I got short bit. I took a couple of cranks and the fish bit again; the only fish of the day.
Photo here...
I fought him for about 45 minutes. He hung around the anchor line quite a bit, so the crew helped a lot. They brought him on with three gaffs.
Ichiros Jaimie Bank tuna won first place on the Royal Polaris 18-day trip, which also visited Puerto Vallarta and Clipperton Atoll. Anglers said the most of the fish came from Clipperton, found on bird schools.
Photo here...
Shintsubo said he fished his mackerel on a 5/0 Super Mutu hook, with 100-pound blue Izorline and 130-pound Spectra backing on a Penn 50 SW reel and a 6460 XH rod built by chartermaster Taka Tanaka.
Ron Watanabe of Carson found a 218.5-pounder at Clipperton, good for second place.
I fished a PL 68 glow jig, he said, and he kicked my butt for an hour. I had a short topshot, and every time I got him within 50 feet he took off again, like he wasnt even hooked.
But at first, I thought he was a small fish, for about five minutes. Then he grew up. It was the hardest fish I ever fought in my life. The other anglers were really helpful; they got their lines up and out of the water for me.
Chartermaster Taka Tanaka of Anaheim won third place for a 177.3-pounder. Frank LoPreste skippered the trip.
Photo here...
Hollow Spectra distributor Jerry Brown of Gold Hill, OR was waiting on the dock to head out on the next Royal Polaris expedition. He offered some information about line breakage with Spectra and with mono.
Photo here...
Most breakage with mono, said Brown, who also sells a device called a hitching post, is due to crack propagation. Spectra doesnt break that way. Spectra breaks right about its rated strength, but most mono breaks higher than the strength number on the product.

Uni Project
4 weeks
Illustration, UI Design
"Design Thinking gives you faith in your creative abilities and a process for transforming difficult challenges into opportunities for design." — Design Thinking for Educators
This project was an exercise in designing information to suit a specific demographic and exploring how that would affect the UI design. For this project, the information from the Designing Thinking For Educators toolkit was redesigned to appeal to young students in the form of a single page website. To make the information more suitable for younger students, I broke up the information from the book into smaller chunks. I also put a focus on Illustration to tell a story: by comparing the process of Design Thinking to climbing a mountain.

Golfing for sanity
Yesterday MTB went "off the grid" for most of the day. Oh, I was monitoring electronic chatter, as our Langley buddies might say, but for the sake of my mental health, I stayed off the phone and out of my inbox. I was golfing.
Normally you wouldn't expect that golf would be a good, relaxing diversion from hundreds of e-mails and complex scheduling duties, but it was. In fact, not to complain, but for a guy with limited cranial resources like me, running through a gauntlet of flaming chainsaws would be less stressful than keeping on top of administrative duties. So, 18 holes of golf was cathartic despite my bowling-like score.
<--That's a rabid, three-legged fox sneaking up on Jimmy, by the way.
I think I'm going to make bi-weekly golf trips mandatory for the "core" group of Truck Buddies. That would include Brett, TJ, Jimmy, Gary and David. But if possible, I'd like to include the golfing members of the extended network, too. This job makes it easy to forget that there are other things in life, at least for me. I'm the guy organizing everything and doing nearly 100 percent of the moves. I do enjoy the work, for the most part, but it is a time-consuming gig. If I let it, I could easily work 24 hours per day moving, e-mailing, answering questions, answering phone calls, scheduling, etc. The few hours I forced myself to take off yesterday reminded me that I can, if I choose to accept that mission, have a life.
And no, Facebooking doesn't count.
Yeah, this is a rambling, mostly non-sensical post. Many apologies. I'm still just a little euphoric after breathing free air again. Lol.

CNET News Video
First Look: Apple iPhoneCNET's Kent German and Donald Bell take their first tour of the phone for which everybody has been waiting.
[ Music ] ^M00:00:02 >> Hi, I'm Kent German, senior editor here at CNET.com. >> And Donald Bell. >> We're here with our very first look at the Apple iPhone. >> Yes. >> Whoo! >> It's here. >> We've waited a long time for this. We're very excited to show it off. And I can tell you that all the stuff I've heard this device is pretty, it's cool, it's, it's slim. Well that's all true. I can definitely say that its one of the prettiest cell phones I've seen. Got a great design, it's very slim, very attractive. Of course big thing about this as everyone probably knows, it does have a touch screen. It's pretty unique on a cell phone. A lot of them have it, but this one does take up the whole thing and there are absolutely no buttons except one right down here that takes you back to the home menu. A couple things I want to show you on the touch screen, because I was really concerned about how easy it is to use, can you type emails, messages really quickly. Can you move around and just do it with ease? And actually, not as bad as I thought. We'll go to the text messaging first. Heard a lot about this virtual keyboard. That pops right out. Actually, the buttons were large enough that even someone like me with fat fingers can press, type out my messages pretty quickly. The only thing I was concerned about though is I really would like the keyboard to be displayed horizontally like this. It is only displayed vertically in portrait mode, so you can use two hands, but it just is so tiny and crowded. So it's much more comfortable to use one finger, which just slows you down just a little bit. Couple of more things, let's look at the photos. This is a multi touch screen, you've heard a lot about that. What that actually means is you can take your fingers, move them around in a way that is, that you, that is more than just tapping and swiping. And so it's like that picture of Donald, see there he is? Actually go out, move your fingers out like that, and there's this nice zoom in. And pinch your fingers together and you can see the picture gets close, zoom back in. So it is pretty cool. Don't see that on a lot of phone. Finally, we'll just go to that Safari browser, heard a lot about that as well. Will operate over WIFI if you are in a WIFI area. Otherwise it's via the AT and T's Edge Network, which is a little slow. But you can see there we have a CNET page. We'll go right back in, tap it, and it zooms right in. Move around just like that. So very cool web interface. Really, the best design I've seen on a phone. But of course this is the iPhone, it's all about music and video in a lot of ways. It makes calls too of course. We'll have to test that later. Music and Video we'll go over to Donald. >> Alright. Music and video, well hidden in this very expensive device is the world's coolest iPod. If you click on the bottom right hand corner icon, you'll get into the iPod mode here. The iPod is going to behave just as much, just as well or just identically to the way that you're files are organized on the latest fifth generation iPod. But it's a lot more beautiful. It takes up the entire screen. All the real estate's here and you can find your music. You can turn it into landscape mode here. You can flip through your music using cover flow. Find an album you want to play, double click on it, find the track you want to play, click on that, and it's already playing. And it's going to play either through the built in speakers on the side of the iPhone or its going to go through the headphone jack. On the headphone jack, the iPhone includes built in what are very common looking iPod ear buds here. They're a little bit different. These ones actually have a built in microphone and a little switch on them so that you can answer calls if calls come in while you're listening to your music. It's a got a plug that fits perfectly inside of a recessed socket here for the iPhone. Unfortunately, the same socket is not going to work with a lot of common wider headphone jacks. So your pair of headphones that you've got and you've invested some money in might not work with your iPhone, so that's a little disappointing. Other things that come with the iPhone, you've got your iPhone dock, which will connect perfectly with the iPhone, which will end in a USB connection. USB connection can either go to your computer or it can go to the power block here. Power block can plug in the wall so that you don't need to have a computer around in order to charge your iPhone. It's a good thing. Just looking at it as a next generation iPod, I'm really happy. It's a great device. I just wish it was a standalone iPod and not a feature that's just within this you know expensive phone. >> What's wrong with the phone? >> The phone is great, but sometimes you know, you just want to be alone with your music. >> Phones are good. Well, I'm Kent German. >> I'm Donald Bell. >> And that's your very first look at the Apple iPhone. ^M00:04:25 [ Music ]
