7 On Structure # 2: Plot Construction - Meandering
Plot construction is something a lot of "official" script reports look at it in detail. If you send your script to an initiative in order to apply for a course or for funding for example, there is a very good chance the reader will be asked to look at this and comment on how the writer has built up his/her narrative. There are two main problems that I usually flag up in this section of official script reports; there are of course many more, but it's surprising just how many scripts have similar issues with plot construction and these usually boil down to either a plot having "too much" in it - or it meanders from event to event with little "keeping it together". Now we've spoken a lot about the former, the "less is more" idea on the course of this blog, but we haven't discussed the notion of meandering structure as much, so here goes.
It's said that protagonists or groups of characters need some sort of goal, mission or arc to achieve dramatic satisfaction. Audiences want to see something put "out there" and drawn to some sort of conclusion. It's how we work as human beings, we strive for order, we pigeon hole everything. Of course, "real life" doesn't work out like this. You can go for days, weeks, even years before something is resolved; sometimes it never is. But movies are not real life. They are a ninety minute or so chunk of a representation of real life. And therein lies the key difference.
You can roll out all the usual "sayings" - drama is conflict, characters aren't what they say but what they do, show it don't tell it, push the story forward, blah blah blah - but knowing all these off by heart does not mean it actually happens in your draft, since how we interpret conflict, characters' actions (or not), what pushing the story forward actually is, etc etc makes all the difference here. So if your screenplay comes back with feedback saying "structure meanders", rather than justifying the action in your draft, I find thinking about this question is more useful:
What is action?
Putting your characters in different places, having them walk about, go and visit people etc is a great start and a vast improvement on having them sitting in the same room for pages at a time, but it isn't neccessarily action. Action does not have to be explosions or running about, but action does mean you have to keep the story - that main goal, in essence the plot - "ticking over" the whole time. The moment your story takes a backseat is the moment your structure starts to meander. Okay, so your character has gone to a cafe, then the newsagent, then he saw the bomb being planted... But if this is a story about terrorism, why does your character need to go to the cafe and newsagent first? Think of Clive Owen's character in Children of Men... The first we know of that bomb towards the beginning is when it goes off, but it adds to the plot construction, it gets Clive Owen's character's attention (and feeds into the moment where Julian has him abducted), plus adds to the arena's notion that this is a dystopian future, one where terrorism is the norm and suicide packs are given out by the government in case it all becomes too much for despairing citizens.
When I first started writing I put a lot of faith in my characters to push my story forward. I think it's the way screenwriting is taught in this country: start with the characters first, find them a story. It'll all fall into place.
Yet it doesn't. Instead often we have an aimless character, who wanders from one thing to another in the course of a feature script. Yes we get the gist of what they're doing. Yes we may even understand what is going on. But the real heart of the matter here - do we care about this character? - does not figure as much. Why? Because part of why we're watching that character is because of their mission, goal or arc - we want to see them win, lose, have to do something else, fall in love, get killed, turn into a vampire, shoot their best friend in the head or walk into the sunset.
In short - it's plot that drives the movie character.
Books are generally character-driven. There could be a successful argument made that TV follows this rule too: you've got a place, job or whatever and characters dip in and out of it, which is why it's so easy to replace them when certain actors move on. Cops n' Docs is the obvious choice, since it brings in politics, scandal, relationships, issues and so on. Same goes for soap opera: one street is all you need as an "umbrella" over the heads of many different types of people, personalities, careers and aspirations and all the storyline threads that appear and disappear because of them.
But films are not the same. We're watching a particular chunk of a character's life for a particular reason. It's ninety to a hundred minutes or so that make all the difference to those characters, thus plot figures more prominently. I often ask Bang2writers, why are we watching THIS BIT of this character's life? Why is it important to THEM and therefore us, as an audience? Why is this the movie and not say, their lives last week? A year ago? A decade from now? In movies, we are essentially voyeurs and watching characters make decisions but crucially, we are watching them follow a designated path as particular events unfold.
Let's consider Harsh Times. I didn't like everything about this movie, but what I liked about it was as a classic "rise and fall" story, Christian Bale's character Jim had a clear path whilst still keeping us guessing about what this psychopath was going to do next, much to the surprise of his best friend who was riding with him. We know, right from the outset, that Jim is headed for self destruction. We know that by the end, he will wind up dead. However, the path in which he gets from A (he is a respectable member of society) to B (it's becoming much more questionable to the point of criminality - though he could still turn back!) to C (he is a full blown murderer and is murdered himself) is so convoluted as to keep us engaged as an audience. What's more, all of what ensues is as a direct result of Jim's expulsion from the LAPD training course. He would never have stolen the drugs if he hadn't been chucked out; if he hadn't been smoking the drugs, he'd never have faked his piss test for Homelands Security; if he hadn't faked that, he wouldn't have been found out and told he would be sent to some godforsaken place as a "soldier of the Apocalypse", meaning he couldn't marry his girlfriend after all, in turn meaning he would never have rejected news of her pregnancy... And so it goes on.
Plot should be about cause and effect in movies - one thing feeds into the next thing. This does not mean it needs to be entirely plot-driven at the expense of character of course, but character should never obfuscate what we're really watching this for, which is plot. We would never say, "I'm going to watch a film about a bloke", we say, "I'm going to watch a film about a bloke who is: transported back in time/is destroyed by the government/is falsely accused of killing his wife/attacked by psychopathic burglars etc." A plot's structure then needn't always be obvious, like in Harsh Times, but there should be a thread that follows throughout your action so as to ensure your structure does not meander. Start as you mean to go on, without major detours on the way.

Harsh Times was billed as a thriller on the DVD box but felt more like a drama if you ask me.

"Why is this the movie and not say, their lives last week?"
Well, the zombies didn't attack last week.
That started off as a joke comment, but that's the reason behind timing in all movies, isn't it? A movie about Marty McFly hanging out would probably be fine, but if we hang around till he gets transported back in time, that's a movie.

Thanks Dave!
Oli - no hanging around of any kind please, I think of screenplay structure as the equivalent of the NO LOITERING signs you used to see in places in the 80s. Move along now. Or go straight to screenplay jail ; )
Mike - I thought the same thing! Just 'cos it had a few guns in it and Bale gets his head blown off at the end does not a thriller make. Think that was a sly genre misdirection to put up rentals there...

"we want to see them win, lose, have to do something else, fall in love, get killed, turn into a vampire, shoot their best friend in the head or walk into the sunset."
Do you realise that all of those are positive/negative, romantic/violent? Shows what you think about most! You sound like my perfect woman...lol

(...emerging from lurker-dom again)
lucy, as i tried to load up your website i was instead redirected to some site that told my computer was monitoring all the adult websites i visit and did i want to get rid of that? is that a new sideline for you?
back to the point: reading your post made me fleetingly think of 'elephant', which kind of... well, meanders. and if you think about it, most (without sounding like a twat) commercial writers would have started the film where elephant ends. what are your thoughts on this film? (by the by i'm a total gus van sant fan and love it. although my own private idaho was better)

Ah well, yes.
In his book (oh no, he's going to mention it again!) "Writing a Great Movie" (he he he he) Jeff Kitchen quotes someone else who said something like:
What typifies the amateur is the "unnecessary": unnecessary dialogue, unnecessary scenes, unnecessary acts ... completely unnecessary scripts.
And the techniques described in the book help the writer avoid the unnecessary.
One of the main points is plotting backwards: Start with where you want to end up and work backwards, working out the cause and effect that gets you there. (That's the brief version, there's a lot more to it than that.)
It works.
I don't think TV is that different really. Just because you have as much time as you want, doesn't mean the audience doesn't want storylines to reach a conclusion. There can just be lots of them.
Hill Street Blues started it, the story of the week to satisfy but long running character story arcs as well.
Babylon 5 went almost too far (pity JMS coldn't finish it the way he planned) sometimes there were only character arc episodes. Which meant once it started you couldn't get into it.
Heroes does this even more dramatically but always makes a point of resolving things properly as it goes along.
Personally I have no faith in the "characters make story" just as I don't believe in the reverse. But then you've already done that one :-)
But I'm probably getting off the point. I agree that structure is vital and more importantly avoid the unnecessary.

Thanks Elinor. Gracious me, leave your blog alone for 5 seconds...

H - Welcome back...and you got me. I've been making a significant amount a week from that, but don't tell anyone! As for elephant, couldn't tell you as I haven't watched it! I looked at it, but it looked boring -- dunno if that answers your Q?! : )
Steve - you're on commission for this book, aren't you? And now now English Dave, some people like screenwriting books! I've seen them be a big help to some writers - tho I've also seen them confuse others even more. But as I always say: all things in moderation, be it alcohol, chocolate or screenwriting books.

Oops, forgot Oli: you *could* start the film "just before" but what if you started the film "just after" that "something" had happened or AS it happened? That's the notion of "hitting the ground running" for me.

Great post. Much of what you say applies to tv too, I think. Structure and action are what propel you through the story. It doesn't mean you are sacrificing character. Character is action. Who cares what they say -- what they do is what speaks loudest.
- Friday, September 14, 2007
I tend to think that the meandering plot is due to too small a premise i.e. it not driving the plot right through 90 minutes.
A good outline should in theory address the problem before it arises. However I know that my more naive outlines haven't equated with actual screen time too well. As a result one beat in an outline can last ten minutes while another is only a brief visual.
All in all it leads me to thinking that a first draft is where you discover these problems. There's nothing quite like ramming a rod of red hot narrative up the arse of a meandering first draft. Especially if it's a fluffy rom-com.
- Friday, September 14, 2007
- Lucy said...
Hi Jill. I agree - though I say in the post that an argument *could* be made for character-driven TV, really I'm of the view that it is plot-driven (and should be) too. Even in the case of soap opera, we watch because of what those characters are up to, not just 'cos we like those characters. Everything is "larger than life" in effect, hinting that it's the situation, not the character, that we are most interested in.
Anon - "There's nothing quite like ramming a rod of red hot narrative up the arse of a meandering first draft" is going to my new motto! ; ) I take it you're not my husband tho?! He wouldn't know where to get a red got narrative... Or where the arse of a meandering first draft is either now you come to mention it! My money is on Dublin Dave... Am I right?

Re when to start the film; variable.
Back to the Future (to continue my example) wouldn't work if Marty McFly was already in the 50s at the start of the movie. Too confusing, and we lose all of the set up for characters so there's no irony when we see their younger selves.
Memento, on the other hand, works perfectly well with an inciting incident that happens both off screen and years beforehand, but part of Memento's charm is throwing you into the same situation as the lead character.
Some films would work better starting later - 28 Days Later would have been vastly improved by cutting the opening scene; a) because then you're thrown into the situation with the protagonist as above and b) because that scene's bloody awful. Monkeys? Monkeys aren't scary, and neither's that bloke from Alan Partridge.
Some would probably work either way. Jaws may well have worked without the opening shark attack, but there would have had to have been more exposition, so in balance I say keep it.
To be fair, I can't think of many films that would benefit from starting earlier though. The extended cut of the Wicker Man makes more sense, but loses atmosphere. It's a trade off.

"To be fair, I can't think of many films that would benefit from starting earlier though."
That'll be because you have to start LATE! ; )
Can't comment on BACK TO THE FUTURE because I've never seen it [SHOCK, HORROR! Kill me now] except for the one clip where Christopher Whatsisface gets shot by the guys in the van, but part of the notion of hitting the ground running relies on stating your intent in the first few minutes of the movie. Presumably in Back to the Future there is some notion, very early on, that time travel is part of the story and arena. In the same way then, we *should* know, from the start, what kind of story/genre etc we're dealing with - else it meanders.
- Friday, September 14, 2007

Actually, BACK TO THE FUTURE spends one heck of a lot of time setting up characters and history. And it's really blatant SETTING UP, too: we get somebody telling us the town clock was struck by lightning thirty years ago, and stuff like that. I'm amazed it works. It's kind of prologue rather than first act. During the 50s section, the central problem is for Fox to sort out the mess he's made of his parents' lives and get, well, back to the future. But the opening establishes the problems of his parents in the 80s, and by the time he's fixed things in the 50s, those problems are also taken care of, so there's an epilogue revealing that.
It's all very smoothly interwoven so that the prologue sets up all these useful things that pay off in the 50s.
Meanwhile, I wanted to say that Robert McKee is, for once, rather good in the whole plot/character thing. For him, the two are the same, or so closely related as to be inseparable. Plot is character in action. The only real way to learn about a character dramatically is to see them struggle with a dramatic situation, and certainly the most holistic approach to that is to organise your situations so that they interrelate and build and drive the character on, and subject him/her to a sort of destructive testing, as they say in car manufacture. That's how we find out what they're made of. Character without plot is not just undramatic, it's not really there at all, and plot without SOME kind of character, however rudimentary, can't really be either.
My personal feeling is that theme can be drawn out by the writer only after the fact, once some sense of plot and character is already in place. What do others think?
- Friday, September 14, 2007
- Lucy said...
That's interesting on BACK TO THE FUTURE David - but then I suppose it was a little different 20-odd years ago, just like ALIEN spends a long time setting up The Nostromo etc before they get the call from the beacon. Like all stuff, even filmwriting is subject to fashion of sorts I suppose. Guess I'll have to watch it tho to form a definite opinion!
As for theme though, I think you should start with it first in constructing your narrative, so whilst it should form part of plot and character, I don't think you can draw it out afterwards as that's when what you're trying to say gets muddled.

The theme thing interests me. I was thrilled to read Alexander Mackendrick saying that starting with theme didn't seem to him to be a good approach, because it reinforced what I'd always felt. I think you need to shape plot and character first, though perhaps not in a full draft. When the piece starts to TELL YOU what it's about thematically, that allows you to take a hand in shaping the plot and character to deal with that more effectively. I'm guessing this is probably different for a lot of people, but I can see a danger in putting theme first: the story becomes a trite illustration of a one-sentence truism. But it's probably true that some themes are already bursting with story possibilities -- "the duality of man" is one that kind of cries out for narrative development, and then you have Jekyll and Hyde. Except that that story came from a dream, and the author found out what it meant in the process of writing two drafts.

Phew, last night was opening night for my show of new painted works on canvas. There were over 30 pieces in the show. Here is a great article/interview that was in the paper. I will give a full report of the opening on Monday, but for now I am exhausted and about to head back to the gallery for another wonderful day of art.
I also wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who helped and supported me through this enormous effort. My husband helped with everything, from helping to make decisions during the creative process, photographing the work, and so much more. My parents were beyond helpful and supportive as they watched the girls so I could prepare, helped with supplies, and way more than I can express here. My parents are insanely generous and kind. My bestie Sarah who helped me with setting up the show, gifted me with teacher socks and chocolate, and was totally encouraging and supportive. Zachary Pullen who put the whole thing together. Andy and Anne for the flowers and encouraging words. I also wanted to thank everyone for the notes, messages, Facebook encouragement and everything. I feel so very gifted to be surrounded by such amazing, kind and supportive people.

MOSCOW, May 6. /TASS/. Vladislav Tretiak, the president of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation (RHF), said on Friday he had no information about alleged cases of banned substance meldonium abuse in the Russian-based Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
Rene Fasel, the president of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), said earlier in the day that a single meldonium case was registered in KHL, but the level of the discovered doping substance was below the permitted level and, therefore, the suspension did not follow.
"I have no information about meldonium in KHL," Tretiak told journalists. "They say that there are no problems."
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced on April 13 that the concentration of less than one microgram of meldonium in the body system of an athlete, whose doping tests were conducted before March 1, was acceptable.
The drug meldonium (mildronate) was included in the list of preparations banned by WADA from January 1, 2016. The presence of the meldonium substance in the athlete's blood during and between competitions is a violation of anti-doping rules. The substance belongs to S4 class on the WADA blacklist (hormones and metabolic modulators).
Meldronate is a cardiovascular preparation freely available for purchase at pharmacies across Russia without doctor's prescription.
Currently, 28 clubs are playing in the KHL, including Barys from Astana (Kazakhstan), Dinamo from Minsk (Belarus) and Dinamo from Riga (Latvia), Jokerit from Helsinki (Finland), Medvescak from Zagreb (Croatia) and Slovan from Bratislava (Slovakia).
The Kontinental Hockey League is an international league set up to promote ice hockey in Russia and other European and Asian states. KHL organizes matches of the Russian ice hockey championships.

North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Su Yong says the Korean Peninsula is a "nuclear powder keg" and that Pyongyang has the power to deter an "increasing" U.S. nuclear threat.
Ri said in a rare speech to the UN-backed Conference on Disarmament on March 3 that ongoing joint military exercises by South Korea and the United States are "unprecedentedly provocative in nature and have an especially high possibility of sparking a war."
He added that North Korea must "bolster its nuclear deterrent capability to cope with the ever-increasing nuclear threat of the United States."
Ri told the Geneva forum that Pyongyang has the power to deter the United States and could conduct a preemptive strike against U.S. forces if necessary.
He said North Korea would undertake great efforts to bring "great change in inter-Korean relations this year."

WOW Twenty ten already!!!
I just realized that I have not updated what Taylor is doing these days...she takes about 2 - 3 steps and then gets too weary and crawls "super fast!" She is quite the talker. She says ma-ma, da-da, ba-ba, nigh-nigh, doggie but soulds like da-do. Taylor waves and says HI or BYE! She is so different than Nate in ever aspect. I think its that girl vs. boy thing. She sings in the car to the radio and climbs in Nates car and drives it around by pushing her feet...I don't even think Nate would get in and drive it till he was like 2 1/2. Nathan would hardly chew just swallow right away. She is a great chewer, savors every bite! It is so funny seeing the differences between the two kids. I took a bunch of pics of her and Nathan in his car!
I just can't believe Taylor will be ONE soon - where in the world has time gone?
Now onto a Nathan update
Nathan is absolutely obsessed with pooping in the toilet YAY!!!! I never thought the day would come. I heard from almost every other mom out there and they kept giving me words of wisdom saying, "All of sudden he will decide and it'll just happen." Those words were not very comforting everytime I went to go change a stinky diaper. And then LOW and BEHOLD BAM it did happen just like that---what a trip. One day he feared the porcelain ice berg---and just like that---the next day he adored the porcelain throne. He gets so proud of seeing his work of art! I never thought the day would come when I had company over and would call them all in to see my sons masterpiece in the toilet, but that day came! Ahhhhhh the joys of parenthood!!! Now we are going to save so much money in diapers! He even gets up in the middle of the night to go pee---what a Saint! Here is a picture of Nate in the bath tub with his cousin Joey to the left and Karen's son Wyatt to the right! Those boys have a blast together! I smell trouble in the future!
Cousin Alex & Nate

|Oskar wanted a swing too so we took him to the park during a break.
Nothing more between the OT and noons play picnic so we went to the park. Oskar had a swing about and Lilian took a 2 minute snooze. The air ambulance arrived which gave us a couple of minutes of excitement.
Lilian did very well at the play picnic. She had lots of custard and enjoyed it very much. We're still going with the finger syringe and Lilian seems to be accepting it. Yesterday at home we managed 200ml but today only 75ml. This might be because we were out and about or that she not up for it as much as yesterday. The key thing is not to get disheartened and to continue as planned.

Ode to the Bookshop
Since I won't be getting to the Pyramids of Egypt anytime soon, I thought I'd pay tribute to a more local manmade wonder that excites the imagination in equal measure – the good old-fashioned, home-grown, used bookshop. Yes Books in Portland, Maine is a favorite. Situated at a busy corner of upper Congress Street, between a neighborhood sandwich shop and Paul's Food Center, and standing directly across from a Starbucks, its very location speaks of its precarious place in the American story.
Ah, Yes!
This time of year its door is propped open, most likely to catch a breeze . . . but I wonder, is there a purer symbol of democracy than this? Inside is calm and hushed. The stacks are disheveled. The lightning is bad. The aisles are narrow and cramped. A small shop, I can easily feel lost inside. Its homey disarray makes me want to plant myself on the floor and start reading from the nearest pile. Yes Books is my piece of heaven. The perfect respite from ordinary life.
Where to begin?
This is my grandparent's attic, my mother's hope chest, the abandoned house we raided as kids. A place suspended in time. A place of ghosts, filling my head with voices other than my own. I want to stay here all day, scaling the shelves for that overlooked gem that will change my life forever. I want fall asleep here, wake up the next morning and start all over again.
What's this?
I never knew North America had its own arithmetic!
My math skills might've flourished if I'd had this book in school.
I fall in love a hundred times in the bookstore.
What is it like to be a bird?
But I've learned not to grow too attached to every book I meet. Some are meant simply to be admired. Only a few get to travel home with me.
Think I'll pass on this one.
This has possibilities.
Since 1987 the National Trust of Historic Places has been listing its eleven most endangered places in America each year. The Lower East Side, Cannery Row, Mesa Verde, even Route 66 Motels are listed. I vote to put the independent used bookshop on that list. And while I'm at it, to those noble independent bookstore owners everywhere, keeper of treasures, defenders of intellectual diversity, openers of doors – thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Even our own independent stores look too clean, too much like emphasis on beauty and placement of furniture is more important. And when they have a coffee shop–that takes away from the books themselves. I'd prefer your own to either of t hese here in my hometown. Your heralding these interesting stores gives food for thought.

SOURCE: "New Smartphone App Pretends to be Your Girlfriend" Reuters, December 14, 2010. http://www.canada.com/health/smartphone+pretends+your+girlfriend/3974210/story.html
KEYWORDS: lonely, community, friendship, marriage, unity
Stressed out South Korean men without time to date can now at least pretend they have a girlfriend, albeit on their smartphone.
Launched on November 30 by Nabix, a South Korean developer, the iPhone application "Honey it's me!" is warming lonely hearts with the voice of "Mina," a 20-something virtual woman.
For $1.99, Mina will make video-calls four times a day, showering subscribers with a message of bliss from 100 available. With recorded messages such as "good night, sweet dreams," Nabix said it would help subscribers feel someone cares for them and is consistently thinking of them.
According to Nabix, the application was downloaded 80,000 times on the first day alone.
An Android operating system version is expected to be launched this week and Nabix plans to provide the service in other languages, including Japanese.

A morning offering of Nicotina, so lemony green bursting into the morning. I love my garden in the morning, so fresh and dewy springing forth with color in the overcast light. I really must post some garden photos...okay, I should clear up my garden, weed a bit, take some photos and then share them with you. Perhaps another day as I have so many other things to share!
Yesterday at the market I spyed this little treat with my little eye...dark chocolate, berries and vanilla wrapped up in a colorful wrapper. Organic to boot...I could not resist. If you ever see this handsome little fella at your local market, quick pick it up and put it in your basket. Take it home (buy it first of course), wait until you can sit down and until you are alone and patiently open the wrapper, take a wee nibble. Inhale, savour, wait for the chocolate to melt away all your worries and repeat until half the bar is eaten then re wrap the "mon cherri" and place in a safe, hidden place until tomorrow. Do not share...unless you really love that someone and only if they really appreciate lovely dark chocolate. Do not share with your kids because they will eat any old hunk of nasty corn syrup injected fake chocolate that was in last years Easter basket (not that you would find that at my house!) and besides kids can not fully appreciate the finest chocolate ever. If you are my mom then of course you can share with your daughters!
Ahhhhh Mon cheri!
Tonight my first sewing 101 class at Stone Mountain & Daughters begins. I am so excited. I have all my supplies ready in my tote and I plan to take public transit (minimizing my carbon footprint!!! that and the hubby & I double booked our schedule for tonight so he gets the kids & the car!) It will take me 3 hours per class each week for 5 weeks to make the above"easy hour" skirt. How funny is that! I took Home Ec in Junior High School but sadly it was not my best subject...I could barely pass...I got a pass because I always showed up for class and full of enthusiasm! From the above pattern I hope to make the "yellow" shorter length skirt with the above fabric. A lovely designed Amy Butler fabric, from her "lotus" collection. I love Amy Butler and whenever I am in a designing lull I check out her website to be filled with inspiration. I aspire to have her sense to design style. Perhaps someday I will have a chance to meet her. Maybe I will write her a letter to tell her that she inspires me. Sounds like I am a stalker...which I am not. Who doesn't like to be appreciated? Who doesn't want to inspire?

Triazole control doubt
Triazole control doubt
By Andrew Swallow
SUGGESTIONS that triazole control of rhynchosporium is slipping have been overstated, says BASF, in light of disease survey results. However, Scottish advisors making the allegations stand by their warnings.
"The data so far suggests there has been no significant shift in the sensitivity of rhynchosporium to triazoles in Scotland," says BASFs John Peck. "People are getting too hot under the collar about it."
BASFs belief is that none of the apparently disappointing results are due to reduced sensitivity. Inadequate rates and/or poor timing are to blame for the sub-standard performance against what is recognised to be a difficult disease, he maintains.
"In most situations a good triazole plus morpholine at the right time and rate will do the job."
However, SAC Scottish Agronomys Huw Phillips is adamant the survey results highlight hot-spots where triazole rhynchosporium control has tumbled.
"The situation is not as dramatic as early indications suggested but BASF are taking too much comfort in the data they have.
"The results from the hotspot sites are all packed at one end of the sensitivity scale. It is not a cliff edge type of resistance like with mildew and strobilurins but we are definitely on the slippery slope with triazoles and rhynchosporium.
"Perhaps we should call it resilient rather than resistant."
Triazoles will continue to feature in his recommendations, but only for brown rust control in the final spray on barley, he says.
SAC plant pathologist Simon Oxley supports that stance where growers have been growing barley intensively. "We need to keep all fungicides in our armoury as long as possible so to continue to rely on triazoles would be bad news. We suggest growers look at a different mix, such as a strobilurin plus Unix.
"Pyraclostrobin is good, so is Acanto but it is less effective at lower doses. Twist is a good protectant and Amistar is slightly weaker." *
Triazoles do still have a place in rhynchosporium control in Scotland, says BASFs Dick Dyason. But others disagree.

Kanpur Day 1
The S'Africans reached the very brink of tea with all the reasons to claim the second session as entirely their own. Then Kumble's hard work through the session paid off, ad he got two in two. Kallis out lbw to a decision that he seemed unhappy about, but loked pretty good to me; and Rudolph out in a manner suggesting he takes great inspiration from his skipper. Suddenly, the 2 Jacques had departed, and India will reach out for those cups of chai on a high, with Jumbo on hat trick ball when he returns.
I would still say the batting side has a long way to go, what their keeper batsman coming in at no.10, but with India, spin and the final session of a day, you never know. Hats off to Andre Hall, though- unexpectedly at the top of the order, he not only saw of the (relatively toothless) opening spell, but comfortably negotiated all the spinners have thrown at him so far.
In the morning, the pitch looked fair- typically Indian is what I mean. Bound to take turn, but not a minefield and unlikely to turn into a dustbowl. Dada continued his great luck at the toss and Graeme Smith happily elected to bat. It was an important toss for many reasons. It gave South Africa the chance to start of the series with a decent batting performance as opposed to India piling on the runs and setting the tone for the series. India, on the other hand, went in with 3 spinners and would have loved to bowl last on this track.

I called in sick today. I am sick, but being sick isn't why I called in sick.
The reason I call in sick is from lack of sleep. I get no sleep because I am up all night. I am up all night because I am coughing all night. I am coughing all night because I am sick. But I can't 'call in sleep deprived', so I 'call in sick.'
Exercise? I am not working out - can't run while coughing, can't lift weights when shivering and aching.
Spirit? There is limited magick. While the LBRP sounds cool when bumped down a half octave, it sounds crappy when whispered and raspy.
Lisa was in an accident this week and totaled her car. She has no money coming in. I have a divorce decree looming in the wings. I am now researching the best way to survive a foreclosure. I have mixed feelings on this. It would be nice to skate out of the problem, and leave the mortgage company holding the bag. But 'nice' doesn't overlap with reality, or with my ethics. I know what I want, but I don't know what my other options are. As soon as I return from vacation I am going to have a little talk with the mortgage company. We could pull this out of the fire, but it may require a small miracle.
I will be buying a few lottery tickets while in California...
Full weekend coming up. Taking The Grrls to the airport. Repairs and cleaning in Tooele. Packing for vacation. Cleaning upstairs at mom's place.

Win7 64bit
Wow, great idea for the video.
I see what's happening and in this case, I'd have to say it's something to do with the Fire line of adapters being different and not having correct .inf version in package. Try the edit I said with the latest Catalyst driver for any typical desktop card....tell the website you want driver for 48xx card Win7.
Then edit the C7 or CL file. CH is bad.
That's the reason.
Reason I swore you were doing something wrong is because I helped many people do this. And that's the part they ALWAYS mess up. lol
Try adding this line:
"ATI FireGL V3350" = ati2mtag_R600, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_7153
in section where all others are. You could also try changing the R600 part to something that matches other cards.
Good luck!
Have upgraded to Win7 64bit and my quad view does not work
Checked compability before, and got green from Microsoft Win7 site.
Seems that this is the 256mb PCIe version...
I have the PCI 128mb version.

Massive ChangeBook - 2004
Massive Change is a modern, illustrated primer on the new inventions, technologies, and events that are affecting the human race worldwide. This book is part of a broader research project by Bruce Mau Design, intended to provoke debate and discussion about the future of design culture - defined generally as the 'familiar objects and techniques that are transforming our lives'.
Through an original selection of essays, interviews and provocative imagery aimed at a broad audience, Massive Change explores the changing forces of design in the contemporary world and, from this angle, expands the definition of design to include the built environment, transportation technologies, revolutionary materials, energy and information systems, and living organisms.
The book is divided into 11 heavily illustrated sections, covering major areas of change in contemporary society - urbanism and architecture, health and living, wealth and politics and the military. Each section intersperses intriguing documentary images with a general introductory essay, extended captions and interviews with leading thinkers, including engineers, designers, philosophers, scientists, architects, artists, and writers.
In its totality, this volume embodies a graphic timeline of significant inventions and world events from 10,000 BC to the present, in a sweeping and scintillating intellectual tour de force.

Living Life Through Others
HS txted me to say she had been for a drink at London Bridge and had walked over the water at dusk. Its a beautiful view - the Thames at night. Long reflections of lights and lit buildings stretch out over the swelling water, banks edged by frilly architecture or buildings glowing pink or blue or stark white. Love the strings of bulbs hanging from those tres fancy street lights with fish curling round the bases that I think are old enough to be in pictures from the wartime of couples canoodling on the riverbanks. City riversides are often romantic, paticularly when they are pedestrian and therefore discrete and secluded with dancing light and the sound of water.

Dating special forces man
You do not have to have a resume a mile long or anything like that, just tell us what you are like. Now all that information will paint a picture for you. Before we deploy our money goes into a stateside bank, and if there is an issue (and there can be, I had one) the finance office will fix it in a few days. DA31 is the Army leave form, you can find the others. And if I needed cash I would not ask anyone to send it to someone in Canada, Idaho or Nigeria. Send me a CD of a recording off of the local radio station, complete with commercials. Started in 2002, Military Singles Connection is the premier destination for dating for the thousands of men and women who serve or have served in the armed forces. She is angry at me for being in the Army, I am mad at her for running off with a mutual friend. I only need permission from my chain of command for leave and travel is usually free from where I am to the states. If I have money issues I am not going to be looking into dating sites at that time. If I truly desperately needed cash I'd ask for a deposit to a stateside bank. Send me a magazine about a hobby I like that is from this month. Other military dating services can't compete with the number of quality members or features you'll find when you join the top Military singles dating site. Some were serious like Match, and some were flirty like fubar. You collect coins, hate mornings, need one shower a day, and drive an import. All that is personal detail that is about the person. There is really nothing in there about what you want in another, it is just who you are. If no one can take the child a compassionate discharge is not out of the question. Expect sleepless nights, and bouts of being on the receiving end of awkward silences. You need to try your hardest to understand, get him to eventually talk about it (preferably to a professional) and pretty much avoid all triggers — like war movies. You will be inundated with more random facts about places like the Middle East or the South than you care to cram into your brain. I won a round of trivia just because I knew the currency in Bahrain. I am a sucker for someone who is passionate about his work. They are modern day heroes; if that's not something to be proud of, I'm not quite sure what is! Basically, dating a Generation Y military man is no different than dating anyone else. His may be unimaginable to you, but that does not make him any better or worse.Fun facts are everywhere, and it doesn't hurt for you to sound more worldly too! Dating a service member is not all fun and games; it takes a lot of work and patience, but if you are interested in the person and not just the uniform, then he is definitely worth the pursuit.This is based solely on the experiences of my veteran friends, as well as my own with a past paramour. The military teaches service members to trust their unit, and few others. If he comes to you with a problem, chances are he'll talk about it until he no longer wants to and then go into lockdown. That is not a good thing or a bad thing, that is just a matter of fact and something you need to understand. Military men are used to their band of brothers, and are bred to be loyal and protective. Some branches of the military (I'm looking at you, Marines) have a feeling of superiority over others.
" 'Frayed' I don't think captures how dire some of the findings are."Chaby says he is particularly concerned that the percentage of troops seeking therapy -- 4% -- is only a fraction of those suffering from PTSD, alcohol abuse and other emotional issues, leaving potentially thousands untreated.
Marriages among the nation's elite troops -- Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Rangers and others -- are in such dire shape after years of war that one in five commandos say if given the chance, they would have married someone else or no one at all.
Marriages among many of the nation's elite troops — Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Rangers and others — are so damaged after years of war that one in five commandos say that if given the chance, they would have married someone else or not at all.
They echo concerns raised in recent years by Navy Adm.
William Mc Raven, who leads the nation's 66,000-member Special Operations Command, that his force has become "frayed" after more than a decade of persistent conflict."I think that's a gentle way to articulate what's happening," says Navy SEAL Capt.

It's cod season, and anglers are revelling in the fact that they can once more try their luck at landing a few monster greens.
In the lead-up to the opening the Murray River fished very well, with good numbers of golden perch caught on bait. Amongst the perch there were several pre-season cod, all over the metre mark – a good sign of things to come. Water clarity is still a little poor but it will not deter those keen to cast or troll a lure. I have caught some thumping cod on lures in water that rated coffee colour at best, and it's just a matter of getting it close enough for then to take a swipe.
Robinvale has fished well for some very large golden perch on bait this past month, and the rumoured capture of several pre-season cod to 90cm should have anglers excited. According to the local lock master, the fish ladder at the Euston Weir has been operational. This will have provided rite of passage to any cod that might have had the urge to migrate upstream into the Robinvale pool water.
Good numbers of perch and a few smaller cod have also been landed in the current rich stretches of the Murray near Wemen. Bait has been working very well, and with good numbers of shrimp in the Murray you can easily get some with a baited trap. Scrub worms, yabbies and bardi grubs have also worked well, and will readily catch both golden perch and Murray cod.
There is no doubt the number one bait for Murray cod is bardi grubs, and it's hard to truly appreciate their worth unless you have actually collected them first hand.
I remember all too well my first grub digging expedition after getting some sketchy information at the local pub by a couple of ill-informed 'experts'. "Just dig away the topsoil under the trees," they said, "and you will find their holes easily. Once you find them just insert the cable, grab the grub and pull it out."
I was shearing fit at the time and took to the mallee scrub with shiny shovel, removing enough topsoil to sow a wheat field. My reward at session's end, other than blistered hands, comprised of several large spiders, hordes of irritated ants and one very ticked off centipede.
I could see a little more information was required. An elderly fisho steered my shovel in the right direction when he suggested I try digging under river gums that stood above the high water mark. He also suggested that sandy ground held the biggest grubs, and was also much easier to dig.
He was spot on. On my next trip I dug a few dozen fat grubs that turned into several very nice cod later that afternoon.
Nowadays I keep a ready supply of grubs in the freezer after blanching them in milk to toughen them up so they stay on the hook longer. While you can buy frozen grubs from most tackle stores, digging them yourself provides a rewarding challenge. It is a common perception that anglers use angling as an excuse to sit back under a shady tree in order to scull down a few cold beers. While there may be an inkling of truth in this, I prefer to believe the consumption of a few cold beverages is generally a direct result of the bait gathering that went on a few short hours before. Either way, a good supply of bardi grubs is sure to tempt a few cod.
December is generally an excellent month for cod along the Murray River for several reasons. Firstly, they haven't seen many lures for at least the 3-month closed period. It's all new again and the cod are more inclined to take a swipe at any lure that gets close enough. This will change as the season rolls on and they become 'lure aware' as they are bombarded with numerous lures over time.
The water temperature is another factor that puts the cod on the chew. This, too, will change as it climbs high during the heat of summer, slowing the bite to a stop.
For now, however, it's a prime time to be one the water chasing cod. If last season is anything to go by, we should have a ripper season ahead.Reads: 1923

Krogg seem to have some difficulties at time trial today. Krogg start morning very motivated caveman, and Krogg think he make good effort today, but clearly not. Krogg place 17th overall, roughly twenty seconds slower than last year, and over a minute-twenty down on Ian McKissick. Holy Saber-Toothed-Tiger Ian!
Krogg compose poem of sadness:
Caveman Caveman Caveman,
Why your wheels no spin faster?
Why you don't push harder on those pedals?
Why your bike not cross finish-line sooner?
Caveman Caveman Caveman,
You eat good breakfast, no?
You have good warmup, yes?
You make good wattage, right?
Caveman Caveman Caveman,
Perhaps you not so strong after all,
Perhaps 17th actually pretty good ride for you,
Perhaps, if you want to win, you should return to your roots:
Competitive guinea pig breeding.

Hi everyone! I know I said I would post up this post by the end of April but its May 1st! Close enough right?? I honestly couldn't find 10 bloggers that I was subscribed to that had under 200 followers- I subscribed to a lot of "popular" bloggers but I will add to the list once I find some really good ones!
So I was nominated for the Liebster Award first a longgg time ago but montgomerytiffany doesn't have a blog anymore so I couldn't answer her questions =( I know, how sad! So the second time around (quite recently) I was nominated again by livingwithanxietyandpanicdisorder so this time I'm doing it- no more procrastinating!
So if you don't know what a Liebster Award is- its for not-so-know bloggers who deserve to be recognized by their dedicated work so by nominating bloggers with less then 200 followers they can potentially get more followers when other bloggers mention them in their posts.
So here are the rules:
1. Thank the person that nominated you!
2. Post 11 Facts about yourself
3. Answer the 11 questions posted by the person who nominated you
4. Nominate 10 Bloggers with less than 200 followers that you think deserve some recognition
5. Inform those bloggers that you've nominated them!
6. Post 11 questions for them to answer
I want to thank livingwithanxietyandpanicdisorder and montgomerytiffany for nominating me- I really do appreciate it and it warms my heart to know that readers like them love what I do! So thank you to you guys too!
11 facts about me (that you probably didn't know):
1. I'm currently obsessed looking for "the yellow glow foundation/luminator/concealer".

9. My cat, Oreo loves run over when I take my subscription box pictures
10. I have two other siblings, one older and another younger than me
11. I am "brutally" honest almost about everything- I can't help it but I hate lying so it just comes out that way
11 questions from livingwithanxietyandpanicdisorder:
1. Why did you decide to start blogging?
I was first introduced to subscription boxes by my sister, at first I thought it was a dumb idea but it grew on me when I realized I don't need full sized products since it takes me forever to finish it and my skin rejects it after constant use. So after some researching I saw all the blogs and it inspired me to blog about my experience.
2. What is your biggest dream in life?
Right now finding a great fun job doing something related to beauty and graphic design. After working hard and making money, traveling, I want to settle down and have a family.
3. If you could have dinner with one person living or dead, who would it be and why?
Channing Tatum! That man is gorgeous and so awesome! He's so humble and he has a great sense of humor- I'd like to get to know him better over dinner any day.
4. If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be?
Hmm, probably my location- I'd like to live in NY but its kinda scary being out there on your own!
5. Have you ever fired a gun?
Yes, I have! It was fun/scary till one of the shells went down my shirt! -.-
6. Would you rather trade some intelligence for looks or looks for intelligence?
Intelligence over looks- it's sexy in it's own way.
7. What is your favorite joke?
LOL I'm not a big joke person- just sarcastic… a lot.
8. What is the worst present you have ever recieved?
You know, I've always been "happy" about every present I get because it's really the thought that counts… but if I HAD to say the worst one is my mom re-gifting a broken/old bracelet that I gave back to her… and she gave it to me ON my birthday! haha "Thanks mom."
9. What is your worst fear?
Losing someone I love, I haven't lost anyone super close to me yet- and I hope it doesn't happen anytime soon.
10. Is there anything about the opposite sex you just don't understand or comprehend?
Uh, how their minds work??? How can you have NO common sense when you're so smart? Smh. I gotta think for the both of us now? lol
11. Do you want to build a snowman???
Love Frozen but I'm tired of snow! Soooo happy it's spring/summer now! =D
Here's the list of nominees (in no particular order):
melissa's subscription box reviews– there's some cool boxes I want to try

The Fairest of them all– another blog I found with a korean box memebox

You got me!!! And you're in luck, I happen to like these kinds of things.
I've done this before on my own blog. So, that being the case, I'm gonna put my 7 things about me here.
Here goes:
1. I was a cheerleader when I was in the 7th grade. Most people find that that fits my personality. Also, me and my oldest daughter cheered at the same rec center (not at the same time, mind you...lol)
2. I too drive a mini van...and I'm STILL a little bitter about it. Prior to my van, I drove a Chevy Tahoe, which I LOVED! If it was a perfect world, I'd get another one today.
3. I am proud to be a soccer mom. 5 years ago, I would've NEVER thought I'd make that statement. I LOVE it! And I even have a soccer ball magnet on my minivan...sheesh!
4. My husband and I prayed for 11 LONG years to conceive our daughter Jayla. No wonder she's our pride and joy!
5. I have a TERRIBLE time buying things for myself. My family says I'm very CHEAP when it comes to myself. I have no problem spending money on my kids, my husband, my home or my dog. But I struggle with it when it comes to me.
6. Ok, this is a strange one. Whenever we go on vacation, my husbands skin get a little "toasty" from being in the sun :-). And I LOVE when he starts to peel. He's so sweet to just lay there and let me peel layers off his body (mainly chest and shoulders) :-)
7. My oldest daughter is almost 23 years old. People are shocked when they hear I have a child that old. I'm proud of my good family genes.
Well, that's it. This was fun. Thanks for the tag.

Okay so im really confused on if this is possible or not and how i would go about this.
I have soft ether installed on a dedicated server at a collocation center. I want to join local servers to the softether vpn which i have done just fine.
I have a webserver on a local server but the ports are blocked so that server is vpn connected to the datacenter can I somehow have the web see that server by portforwarding or something in softether?
datacenter vm>softether server>vpn>local server>webserver
Post your questions about SoftEther VPN software here. Please answer questions if you can afford.

Re: Portforward
Hello there! It's not clear to me what you are trying to accomplish. It would be much better if you can elaborate further on it. Also, if you really know what you are trying to do and you need to forward ports on a local machine, I assume you use a Unix-like systems, you could use "iptables" for that purpose. Check out this link: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ ... h-iptables for further details.
