Old Wonka or New Wonka? Need we even ask?
And this is the beginnings of the argument for the pro-Depp folks. They try to claim that its a better film because its "supposedly closer to the book". I include "supposedly" in quotation marks, because the vast majority of these people have never actually even read the book. I have. And I will concede that the original film contained several plot elements that were not from the book. For example, the whole Slugworth offering each of the children a small fortune in exchange for an Everlasting Gobstopper, the fizzy-lifting drinks scene, the geese that lay golden eggs rather than the squirrels, and of course the bizarre boat scene. BUT, while these elements were in the original film but not in the new "truer to the book" version, the new version does its own share of adding plot. The bizarre puppet Small World rip-off as the children arrive at the factory, the fact that Willy Wonka does seem to even like children, and most notably the entire plotline involving his father, Wilbur Wonka, that leads to his not originally allowing Charlie to bring his family with him to the factory, once he has been selected as the grand prize winner.
It would seem that the original book did not have enough of a conflict to get a good movie climax out of. The first film's climax comes as Charlie proves that he isn't it for the money by returning the Everlasting Gobstopper, even in the face of Wonka's tirade about Fizzy Lifting Drinks. The new film tries to make a climax out of Charlie helping Willy confront his father and finding out that actually he really does love him and that family are swell. Neither plot is from the book, and I have to give the edge here to the first film.
The next point the pro-Depp camp will make is that Johnny Depp makes a much better eccentric Willy Wonka. Who cares? Where does it say that Willy Wonka has to be a weird-o? The fact that Depp was so weird and uninterested in the children, Charlie included, made it hard for me to connect with him, and to be honest I could not hardly fathom why Charlie would even want to live with him. In fact, Depp's creepy-wierd portrayal of Wonka has led some to believe that he was modeling Wonka after accused child molester Michael Jackson. How can anyone possibly pick him over the wacky, but well-meaning Wonka portrayed by Wilder?
Lets compare the Oompa Loompas, while we are at it. The new film's Loompa's actually sing songs whose words were written by Dahl himself. The original book actually contained poems/songs when each of the children were carted off that spanned several pages. And I have to admit that the new Oompa Loompas (all played by Deep Roy) are certainly entertaining, especially the first time they dance for Augustus Gloop. But the original Loompas while not singing Dahl's original poems (the new ones only sing parts of the epic poems) are cultural icons. How many of us have seen people go to Halloween as these old school Oompa Loompas? I'm willing to bet that no one will ever go to a Halloween party dressed as one of the new Oompa Loompas.
Which leads me to my next point. If the new film were the first version of the book that had been made, there never would have been a remake. No one would even remember that the film existed. It is easily forgettable and seems as much a vehicle for Burton's and Depp's egos as an homage to the classic story. The original film is made timeless by the wonderful performance by Gene Wilder and the great Oscar-nominated soundtrack including such classics as "The Candy Man Can", "I've Got a Golden Ticket", and "Pure Imagination".
The only point I can concede to the new film is that it gets us to the chocolate factory much quicker than the original film. As a child watching the original film, the whole waiting to get into the factory part was excruciatingly long. And certainly today's generation of attention-starved kids would have left the theater in search of the latest Sponge Bob offering far before Charlie had actually found his own Golden Ticket. That said, now that I am older there are actually a large number of humorous scenes thrown in for adults in this pre-factory portion of the film. My personal favorite is the man with the computer that he has programmed to tell him where the remaining Golden Tickets are located. The computer refuses because, "What would a computer do with a lifetime supply of chocolate?". The angry programmer then suggests that he will tell the computer EXACTLY what it could do with a lifetime supply of chocolate. Great stuff.
Anyway, my older brother has purchased the DVD of the original film and is bringing it with him from Omaha this Christmas break so that we can have a true showdown of the films. He says that the comments from the now grown, but still very German Augustus are not to be missed.

This is lame!

Speaking as one who prefers the new movie as opposed to the 1971 version and who has read the book, (are you surprised that someone who likes modern entertainment likes to read as well?) I find your reasoning to be a bit bizarre. The terrible songs, if you can call them songs, the awful child (and adult) acting, the cheap set design (the Everlasting Gobstopper machine...can we say a few multi-colored sheets sewn together in a hurried rush and thrown over a "creatively designed" metal frame, moved about by some of the unused camera men?) and the flat character development all add to it's "timeless appeal".
- j said...
I'm not sure what you mean by terrible songs. The music was nominated for an Oscar so I would hardly call it terrible.
As far as awful acting goes I'd like to hear some examples.
As far as cheap set design goes, it was the 1970s and the budget they were working with was quite limited. The new film I'm sure relies heavily on CGI, thus dodging the whole issue of set design. It might as well be a cartoon.
And finally as far as flat character development...at least in the first film we actually saw the characters enough to figure out who they were. In the new film, which I've seen 3 times now, I still am kind of unsure whats going on with Violet and her mother -- they like to win competitions, is that it? Why is Violet's mom such a weird-o? I honestly have no idea whats happening there.

Actually Jake, the sets for Charlie and the Chocolate factory were real. For example the Chocolate Room:(where your life changing song "Pure Imagination" was sung in the 1971 version) Burton's crew built this and all the other sets to full scale, an engineering feat which required an astonishing amount of thought, planning and hard work on everyone's part. The flowing chocolate you'll see in the film, actually a non-toxic substance called Nutrisol, is totally real and required extensive pumping technology. Even the studio wasn't keen on the idea, wanting a CG chocolate river but Burton wouldn't have a bar of it. The grass of the room was plastic for the most part with small amounts of edible 'candy grass'. The assorted trees and plants (around two dozen different designs) had to also be edible but look like foliage on screen and stand up to extensive periods of shooting.

Monterey Restaurants Share Tips on How to Cook as the Italians Do
This approach to cooking helps prolong the average Italian's lifespan, among the highest in the world. However, you can partake in this health trend just by dining at reputable restaurants in Monterey that adhere to traditional cooking methods. Fresh ingredients and slow cooking make for a wonderful meal. You can find some of these good Monterey restaurants in examples like Cafe Fina. Aside from delicious seafood sourced from Monterey's Fisherman's Wharf, our restaurant can also cook up pasta just like how Italians would like it. In fact, we make our own pasta, so rest assured that it's fresh.

Mini Research Report——Metal Connections In Timber Structures
Metal Connections
In Timber Structures
——A Nail Connection
091039 Shehong Liu(刘射洪;
When constructing timber structures, it is important that structural members such as beams, columns, and trusses be designed to carry the specified loads, be-cause no chain is stronger than its weakest link. So connection design is one of the most essential aspects in timber structures. However, as we know, wood is easily drilled or shaped to facilitate a connection. So a wide range of connectors and con-nection methods is available. On the other hand, a mechanical fastener is any device, metallic, plastic or timber, which transfers load from one piece of timber to another piece of timber. And the most common types of fasteners are metallic and include: nails, dowels, screws, bolts, coach-screws, toothed ring connectors, split rings, nail plates, proprietary or patented fasteners and so on. Most fasteners transfer forces through bearing on the timber and shear in the connector.
Of course, the most widely used connector is the common nails. In engineering, joinery, and the building, nail refers to the point of shape hard metal (usually steel), which has a very long history. Meanwhile, according to the different uses, nail also has many types, such as round nail, manual twist nail, spell nail, cement steel nail, wood screw, shoot nail, bolt and so on. For instance, round nail are also called nail, its head is round flat and body is smooth cylindrical, and bottom is a sharp shape. And its common specification is from 10 to 220 mm about 20 types. Common round nail wooden structure is mainly used for the connection. Manual twist nail, its body is such as manual twist shape, head also is round flat look, and the base is pointed bottom. This nail force particularly is strong. So it is applied to in some places where need very strong force, such as drawer, wooden ceiling of the place such as the boom, its common specification is from 50 to 85 mm and has a variety of specifica-tions. Spell nail is a kind of nails which two heads are pointed, and the middle for smooth surface. Spell it was easier than other nail merger and fixed wood, especially suitable for collage board when make pin with, its common specification has 25-120 mm. Cement steel nail is very similar with round nail in shape, but its head is a bit thick. And the cement steel nail with high quality steel, with a hard, bending of ad-vantage, can be directly into the concrete and brick wall nail in. Its common specifi-cation is 7- 35 mm. Wood screw is also called teeth wood screw, which is more easily than other nails with wood union, multi-purpose in metal and other material and the combination of wooden material. Tapping screw, which has high hardness, cheap prices, better than any other nails to connect with two metal parts. It is used more for metal components connection fixed, such as the production of aluminum alloy

doors and windows. Shoot nail, is very similar with cement steel nail, but it is shot out of the shot gun. Relative to character, shoot nail is better and more economic than artificial construction. At the same time, it is easier for construction than other nails. It is used to shoot to nail wooden of construction of the project, such as fine wood making to confront and wooden engineering, etc. Bolt, which is used in deco-ration in general engineering, is divided into two kinds, plastic bolt and metal bolt, and they are both used to replace embedded bolt.
Basing on so many reasons, a nail connection in timber structures is the most common and very important. Though with the development of technology, materials are more and more and also better and better, of course, the types of connection in timber structures are also more and more and also better and better. However, as the simplest connection, a nail connection shows strong vitality. In another word, if you
want to know timber structures very well, you must know and learn a nail connec-tion in timber structures.
?.Major application
The major application of a nail connection in timber structures is very wide. On one hand, a nail connection is very simple and cheap. On the other hand, the perfor-mance of a connection is pretty good in mechanical property aspects.
Nails provide a simple and quick way of connecting timber members in con-struction. Common nails are available with smooth, spiral or ring shanks. By shear mode, nails are ductile connectors capable of resisting many cycles of seismic load-ing. Nails are most commonly used in wood-frame shear walls, the main lateral load resisting system in North American platform frame residential construction. Numer-ous static, cyclic and shake table tests on nailed shear walls showed their favorable energy dissipating characteristics and superior seismic performance. Large dis-placements can be achieved in nailed connections without failure. Increased nailing density (smaller spacing) in nail connections can lead to formation of a brit-tle ″block-tearing″ failure mode and reduced load capacity.
As another main type of nails, bolted connections are frequently used in heavy timber frames. They are placed in predrilled holes in the wood members that are normally 1 to 2 mm larger than the bolt shank diameter. Washers are useful in bolted connections as they spread the compression load by the tightening of the bolts over the face of the wood member. Seismic behavior of bolted connections is influenced by wood properties, bolt slenderness (member width to bolt diameter ratio), connection end distance, and fastener spacing parallel- and perpendicular to-grain. The connection capacity increases if the end distance, edge distance and the spacing between the bolts increase. If the number of bolts in the connection in-creases, the ultimate load per bolt decreases. Small diameter (slender) bolts tend to behave more like nails or dowels as their shaft can bend without inducing wood frac-ture, thus exhibiting ductile behavior and relatively large energy dissipation. When slender bolts yield, they also allow for better redistribution of the load among all the fasteners in the connection, resulting in improved load sharing. When larger diame-

ter bolts are used, the inelastic behavior and energy dissipation of the connection depends on the embedding behavior of the wood alone, which often leads to brittle failures.
In addition, timber rivets, also known as glulam rivets and as another example of a nail-type of connector, are high-strength nail-type fasteners developed in Can-ada for use in heavy timber construction. Although they are made of high-strength steel, they are pliable enough to provide very ductile connections. Capacity of a ri-veted connection is governed either by rivet yielding or a wood failure mode. The rivet yielding failure mode, where the rivets bend and yield while the wood under their shanks fails in crushing, is the desirable failure mode for seismic applications. Rivet spacing usually controls the failure mode. Larger spacing results in a rivet yield-ing failure mode, while smaller spacing leads to brittle wood failures, usually in the form of block-shear around a group of rivets. Connections with glued-in rods have potential for use in timber construction. Usually, holes are drilled in the end-grain of a glulam or structural composite lumber member, parallel to the member length. Steel rods are then placed into the holes and fixed using a structural glue. A com-prehensive research program was undertaken in New Zealand to determine the static and seismic behavior of these connections (Madsen, 2000). Some of the con-nections investigated during the research program were found to be less efficient due to the reduction of the strength at the joint as a consequence of the holes drilled through the beam. Best results were obtained with connections using steel brackets and glued-in rods. Several buildings have already been designed and built in New Zealand with this connection type.
?.Advantages and disadvantages
Why a nail connection is widely used in timber structures? And it is really very perfect? Whether it has some shortcomings? It is granted that the answer is sure.
(1) Advantages
First, a nail connection is very simple. Compared with dowels, screws,
bolts, coach-screws, toothed ring connectors, split rings, proprietary or pa-
tented fasteners, a nail connection doesn't need too much work to made it
or fix it, we can easily buy any types of nails in market.
Of course, it is because of this that a nail connection is very cheap. And
it may be the second reason why it is so widely used in timber structures.
For example, if you use toothed ring connectors or split rings, you must or-
der in advance, because there is no this types you want. So the costs of con-
structions are high usually, however, which are not what bosses want.
Third, a nail connection can behave in a very ductile mode. The nail is
relatively slender and its stiffness level combines well with the stiffness of
wood. Under lateral loading, a nail connection behaves like a beam support
in a foundation (wood medium surrounding the nail). Under relatively light
load levels, the wood behaves elastically; upon higher loads, a nonlinear in-
elastic response takes place.

Fourth, as for another example of a nail-type of connector, the timber
rivets suit heavy timber construction very well in general. It is like a
steel-to-wood connector. It was designed to be installed into a wood mem-
ber through a steel side plate with predrilled round holes. The resulting
connection is much stiffer and stronger than a similar connection using
common nails.
Finally, it was also reliable. Because the force transmission path of the
nail connection is very clear, we can easily analysis the construction struc-
ture, and as we all know, more simple more reliable in the mechanical
Of course, every coin has two sides. In the same way, a nail connection also is not perfect, and also has some disadvantages.
(2) Disadvantages
First, it is difficult to use in the super heavy timber structures. On one
hand, a nail is not too long, which can limit its uses. On the other hand, we
have better connectors in the super heavy timber structures, such as
toothed ring connectors, split rings, nail plates, proprietary or patented fas-
teners and so on.
Next, the entirety of timber structures that use a nail connection will
be not very good. As we know, a nail is too small, so in order to satisfy the
requirement of strength of constructions, we usually use many nails, even
finally use the timber rivets directly. However, the complicated and weak
connection will decrease the entirety of timber structures.
Besides, the types of nails are various, and their specifications and
strength also are various, which is difficult and must be so cautious for de-
signers to choose which types they really need. Meanwhile, the pattern of
how to fix them and distance of them are also a good topic that designers
and researchers need to study.
From the above we can see, a nail connection is widely used in timber struc-tures, and it has many advantages. But it has its limitations and disadvantages. So as a civil engineer, we must aware these and learn to foster strengths and circumvent weaknesses, and make full use of various materials.
Connections in heavy timber construction are one of the most important but least understood components. Connections provide continuity to the members, and strength and stability to the structural system. Often key to a successful design is to ability to detail safe, cost effective and elegant solutions that require low mainten-ance.
Generally, wood is easily drilled or shaped to facilitate a connection. So a wide range of connectors and connection methods is available. For instance, the most common types of fasteners are metallic and include: nails, dowels, screws, bolts, coach-screws, toothed ring connectors, split rings, nail plates, proprietary or pa-

tented fasteners and so on. However, they all have their own advantages and disad-vantages. Among them, a nail connection is the most common and simplest.
Nail has a very long history in timber structures. Meanwhile, according to the different uses, nail also has many types, such as round nail, manual twist nail, spell nail, cement steel nail, wood screw, shoot nail, bolt and so on. Of course, they have their own characters and various specifications.
A nail connection in timber structures is very wide. Nails provide a simple and quick way of connecting timber members in construction. And they are most com-monly used in wood-frame shear walls, the main lateral load resisting system in North American platform frame residential construction. As another main type of nails, bolted connections are frequently used in heavy timber frames. In addition, timber rivets, as another example of a nail-type of connector, are high-strength nail-type fasteners developed in Canada for use in heavy timber construction.
Of course, every coin has two sides. A nail connection not only has many ad-vantages, but also has its limitations and disadvantages. So as a designer or a civil engineer, we must know them and aware these, so that we can build more beautiful and more reliable timber structures.

Select "Do Not Update Automatically" Come on people at least learn the features that Steam has. I am doing exactly what you describe, but the next time I load steam, it has reset itself to auto update in spite of me setting it to not do so. Steam will not download any game or update , for some reason however it will download the workshop files and updates The downloads will be in que and steam will attempt to download them, but it won't do anything, it'll stay like this for a short amount of time (longest one was about a minute shortest was half a second) before giving up and moving onto the next one. Things I've tried include: Granting and denying access through firewall Turning firewall off and on Reseting files (steam://flushconfig) renaming Client to Client Regestry I do not want to remove steam and reinstall it.
After trying to load them up the window doesnt respond upon launch.
I have a 16GB internet cap, so you see the problem.
and other games like gary's mod add lots of new content with it and if you do this to a multiplayer it might not work correctly online or not even connect but as you said you are using it for single so shouldn't be a prob i used this solution for counter strike source, half life 2 and medieval total war 2 and works fine in single player.

Danielle Lloyd lives the WAG dream as she dazzles in £26,000 bridal-style gown at her engagement party
It was just an engagement party, but Danielle Lloyd arrived at the celebration last night looking more like a glamorous bride.
Wearing a £26,000 floor-sweeping, crystal-encrusted gown, the glamour model smiled as she and footballer fiance Jamie O'Hara greeted guests at the Mayfair Hotel in London.
Having longed to be a WAG for some time, perhaps the 25-year-old was keen to practise the bridal look after Jamie proposed in Paris last month.
Imagine how much the wedding dress might cost.
Danielle Lloyd arrived at her engagement party wearing a £26,000 crystal-encrusted dress that bore more than a passing resemblance to a bridal gown
The glamour model became engaged to the Tottenham Hotspurs midfielder after he got down on one knee at the Four Seasons Hotel.
The couple, who have only been dating since April, had been planning to marry in a lavish ceremony in 2011.
Danielle was all smiles as she arrived earlier in the day, with her pet pooch in a Louis Vuitton carrying bag.
She got changed on site into her crystal-encrusted gown from boutique Doly on London's New Bond Street.
Danielle and Jamie greet guests as they arrive at the party last night
The glamour model looked exceptionally glamorous in the bejewelled dress, which looked suspiciously like a wedding gown
The glamour model only recently announced her engagement to footballer boyfriend Jamie O'Hara, who she started dating last April.
Among the arrivals was a smiling Olly Murs, who gave photographers a thumbs up.
O'Hara, 23, is believed to have spent around £10,000 booking him for the bash, to please X Factor fan Danielle.
One of Danielle's best friends, Katie Price, could barely raise a smile as she arrived to help Danielle celebrate.
Thumbs up: X Factor runner-up Olly Murs landed a £10,000 performance fee
Instead the glamour model looked sullen and moody as she walked into the Mayfair Hotel, dressed to kill in a super short purple dress, teamed with a thick layer of fake tan.
Perhaps she had been watching the latest episode of Celebrity Big Brother, which last night saw Alex Reid bragging it was 'straight back to hers' for a 'good night' the first day they met.
Breaking all her rules he even mentioned the date - July 17 - barely two months after Katie's split from husband Peter Andre.
Lucky girl: Danielle arrived with her pet pooch in a Louis Vuitton carry case
Katie is said to have laid down a strict set of instructions, including
not talking in detail about her, her ex husband Peter Andre, or her
children while in the house.
But it seems that Alex has failed to remember them.
And Katie looked a little bit worse for wear as she left the party last night, holding her head in her hands as she got into a waiting car.
Other guests included The Saturdays singers Una Healy and Mollie King, fellow WAG Lizzie Cundy and TV presenter Liz Fuller.
Katie Price looks to have got into the party spirit after arriving at the celebrations earlier in the evening looking moody
Colour purple: Katie co-ordinated her shoes with her dress - and the bling cuffs matched her handbag
Talking of her engagement Danielle admitted she had been badgering her boyfriend about when they
would get hitched during a break in Paris.
She said: 'I had no idea he was going to propose and over dinner I asked him, "When do you think we're going to get engaged?' Then I said, "Will it be 2011?"'
After he successfully managed to avoid Danielle's questions, Jamie took her up to their penthouse suite overlooking the Eiffel Tower and popped the question.
Danielle recalled: 'As soon
as he asked me, I burst into tears like a little baby.
'When he put the ring on my finger the light show at the Eiffel Tower went off and it was sparkling all over the city.
'My ring is perfect. It's everything I ever dreamed of and more.'

It's Almost here!
It poured rain today and man, did we need it. The local farmers are all very happy. Our grass is a beautiful lush green and the maple tree bright lime flowers are all coming down. The lilacs are still holding tight although a few keeners have burst open. I predict they will all gush forth in fragrant bloom on the next sunny day. The lily of the valley will soon follow. They smell divine. How DO they get that flower to smell just like the perfume anyway??!!
Don't you just love Spring?

Our first Birthday celebrations included the inaugural Burywargamers 'Golden Demon' painting competition. Thanks to Geoff for painting up some bronze, silver and gold trophies.
Thanks to everyone for entering, now over to the results for the Juniors.
Golden Demon: Imperial Guard by Ethan M-S:
Silver Demon: Tau Etheral by Joel M-S:
Bronze Demon: Eldar Autarch by Max W:
The judges were impressed by the standard being reached by our Juniors. They were particularly impressed with the 'crisp' painting style on the Imperial Guard, the attention to detail, and its face with lots of character. They again liked the neatness on the Etheral and the highlighting of the cloak. Finally with the Autarch they liked the rather sinister red, black and silver colour choice, and felt the red eyes carried the theme through well.

The /ES rising Wedge
I went short at /ES at 1007. Every nerve of my body was telling me that it would be insane to short this market. So I pulled the trigger.
When it is right there in front of you, you need to have the balls to pull the trigger, even though the last 6 guns blew up in your face.

Prowling with Wojo
by F.
The brick walkway intersected the sidewalk on 10th street, and there they took a right, going down the hill a little bit, Wojo in front, his tail high in the air, walking quickly, and Thersites following, looking around at first to see if anyone was watching him follow his neighbors' cat down the street. Then Wojo took a sharp right and went into the alley.
As Thersites rounded the corner, Wojo had his claws into a fence post on the other side of the alley, raking it, stretching his belly muscles. His eyes were closed and he started off slowly scratching the fence post and then after a bit he pawed it rapidly. Then he withdrew his claws and stood there, looking at Thersites.
"So, how big is your range?" Thersites asked.
"Territory." Thersites swept his hand to indicate the neighborhood.
Wojo put a paw toward his mouth and began to lick in between his pads but didn't say anything, and Thersites didn't ask again, because Wojo pronked and started again down the alley, and Thersites shuffled to keep up.
"Now where?"
"Food. There's always an open food bowl down this way. Through the fence."
They continued down the alley until they came to the backyard of a small, turquoise house. One story, sort of beat up, but it had a big deck looking out on the alley and the brick wall on the other side of it. The fence surrounding the back yard was missing a few planks and Wojo shot through one of the holes. Thersites looked at the space between the planks and realized he couldn't fit through, so he just looked over the top as Wojo made his way through the uncut grass and up the stairs to the deck. On it, Thersites could see a couple of stainless steel bowls. One with water, one with kibble of some type.
"I can't get through," Thersites whispered, looking around.
"Don't worry about it. I'll be done in a minute. Hold on."
And Wojo squatted down, put his nose in the bowl, and started to crunch away.
"I thought cat's didn't like dry food?" Thersites whispered.
Wojo raised his head, looking back at Thersites, then resumed eating.
"I guess they do."
Soon Wojo was done and began to lick his lips, then washed for a few seconds, licking his wrists and running his paws over his ears, finally ending by licking his ruff a few times. Then he turned and leaped off the deck into the grass below and Thersites lost sight of him until he appeared at his feet. He came over and rubbed on Thersites' shin. Thersites squatted down and petted him and heard Wojo's vibrato.
"Was that good?"
"Yeah. OK. You need variety. Can't just have the same stuff everyday."
Thersites kept petting, then asked, "You like living with Liz and Kyle."
"It's OK. They need more rugs."
"Yeah. Hardwood floor is a bitch. Can't get any traction. Slipping all over like a stupid little puppy on his first day home from the pound."
"I can see that."
And Wojo started off again, moving to the right side of the alley, which was decorated with four or five green dumpsters for the shops on 10th street. Thersites' apartment, Reed Court, faced 10th and was on the corner, then next to it was a little grocery store and then a dry cleaners and then a restaurant called the Rain City Grill. Wojo walked over to the first dumpster and rubbed against it, sniffing. Then he walked around into the little space between the dumpster and the brick wall, finally reappearing on the other side, looking at Thersites, blinking once, and then moving on to the next dumpster.
Around the base of it were some wire coat hangers and strips of plastic and a few small shirt boxes, wet and flattened from the rain. Wojo veered away from that dumpster, went all the way to the other side of the alley, and walked in the clumps of grass next to the cedar fence.
"What is it?" Thersites asked.
"Hazmat. That shit is toxic. Goes right up through your pads. Have you seen Melvin?"
Thersites had seen that cat, a torty. He had a bad habit of sitting in the middle of the road off Harvard Avenue, next to Reed Court. It was only a matter of time until he got it.
"Torties are fucked up anyway. They're crazy. But Melvin—he ate a jelly doughnut from that dumpster. He's never been the same."
Thersites sniffed the air and drew in the smell of dry cleaning fluids, wondered how anyone could work in one of those places for very long without brain damage. The back door of the drycleaners was open and through it he could see the moving conveyer of shirts and hear a press hissing and saw a small Asian man pulling shirts out of someone's green laundry bag, and then in a few more steps they were at the next dumpster, which Wojo was already on top of.
"This the one for the restaurant?"
"Oh yeah. They have at least one fish dish each night. Or so I'm told. So there's lots of good stuff. The prep cooks come in around one o'clock, so that's when you can get some raw. Then if you want day old's, you come back around now, in the morning, then—"
Wojo's head turned quickly and he looked down the alley, crouching a little, Thersites thought. Thersites looked where Wojo's attention was directed and he saw a pare of amber dots, lozenges, in a matrix of black fur. The little black can was sitting just outside the alley, partially hidden by a fence post. It was crouched, too, looking at Wojo.
"What's up?" Thersites whispered.
"He's not supposed to be here."
"How come."
"We time share. This is my time on this route. He should know that. Probably got into the dry cleaning fluid."
"So now what happens?"
"Well, we'll see if he wants to fuck with me. Unlikely. I mean, none of us wants conflict. But you have to know the rules, you know? There's a system. As long as everyone follows it, everything is fine. But then some newbie will show up, from the shelter or something, or some kitten—some indoor cat will get out, and I have to go through the whole hissing and ears back display thing, which I'm too old for. I just can hardly fake that anymore, you know?"
"How old are you?"
"I'm 12. I'm at the end of the line."
"You been neutered."
"Oh yeah."
"How was that?" Thersites looked from Wojo to the little black cat at the end of the alley. It was licking itself.
"See, he's trying to pretend he doesn't see me. Punk. Did you say something?"
"How was it being neutered?"
"Different how?"
"Well, I mean, it felt weird for a while. But I don't miss the anger. I had a lot of issues with that, and after the surgery, I was a lot more mellow. But some of that is age, too. So it's hard to say."
"So you know how old you are?"
"Do you know how long you'll live?"
"Sure. About. I'm about three-quarters through. "Then—POOF. I'm gone."
"You think so?"
'I know so."
"And you're OK with that?"
"There's nothing to not be OK with. I mean, what can I do about it? Look."
Thersites looked toward the end of the alley and the little black cat was crossing the alleyway, walking slowly, and then he disappeared behind the brick wall. As soon as he did so, Wojo jumpud down into the dumpster and Thersites could hear movement in there, rustling, crunching, and then Wojo appeared back on top of the dumpster with a broiled hunk of fish in his mouth.
"What is that—Ahi?"
"What's you favorite?" Thersites asked, as Wojo dropped the hunk of fish.
"It's all good."
"You like fish better than beef?"
"Oh yeah."
Thersites watched at Wojo slowly devoured the fish, which didn't smell too good, but Wojo didn't mind. He tore off little pieces of it, dragged them a short distance from the main chunk, and then gulped them down, chewing with his mouth open, chewing loudly, his mouth making wet, smacking sounds from time to time. After a while, he was done and began to clean himself, and after all his hairs were in place, he looked at Thersites. Then he jumped off the dumpster and went on down the alley, toward where the black cat had been.
Thersites followed Wojo, who was weaving back and forth between the sides of the alley, pausing every so often to sniff something, sometimes opening his mouth a little and doing the flehmen thing, smell-tasting, and then toward the end of the alley, where it spilled out onto Yale Avenue, he went over to the fence on the left side and plopped over and began to lick a paw.
Thersites reached him, stopped, put a hand on the fence. "What's up?"
Thersites looked around. The block was still fairly quite, though he could hear out on 10th Street the buses and cars taking people to work. After a few minutes of listening, Wojo jumped up, cameled his back, and walked out of the alley, turning right.
Thersites followed, asking, "Now what?"
And as Thersites followed he wondered where in that neighborhood Wojo would actually hunt. And what. There were no parks close by, no vacant lots, no big yards, really, and as Thersites continued to think about this he watched Wojo walk up to the corner of Yale and 10th and take a right, heading back toward the apartment.
They walked up past the Rain City Grill and Thersites could see inside some dim shapes through the glare of the sun on the windows, and then they passed in front of the drycleaners, the front door of which was open and more of that smell was coming out, and then they passed the little market, in front of which a bunch of kids were standing, waiting for the bus. Finally they got to the courtyard of Reed Court, the overgrown grass rectangle with the malfunctioning fountain. That's where Wojo was going.
When the got into the courtyard, Wojo crouched down, moving to the right side of the open space, into some taller grass. And Thersites followed him, actually getting down on his hands and knees, not worrying for the moment if people thought he was crazy. He got close to Wojo's position.
"What are we hunting?"
"What are you hunting?"
Wojo turned his head, squinted at Thersites.
"I mean, I just thought you'd be hunting mice or… gophers."
"Sometimes I do. But flies are actually more challenging. And I can pretend they're mice. Mice that fly and that move in these random patterns. I mean, this is way, way more challenging than any mouse. After you've killed, like, a thousand mice and shrews and moles and stuff like that, it's not that big a deal any more.
"So you pretend."
"Of course."
And then Wojo became suddenly still, crouched down in the grass, and Thersites could see his back feet were preparing to spring. His claws were out and he looked like a projectile in the pocket of a slingshot, ready to be released, waiting, waiting, waiting. Then—BOOM. He shot across the grass, at something Thersites didn't quite see. But he jumped up in the air, put his paws together, pads facing pads, and tried to sandwich something.
But it was too fast, the little flying dot moving in a circular pattern, and so Wojo had to jump again, and again, and again, and that last time his body sort of twisted in the air, like an Olypmic diver, went sideways a little, and almost before he hit the ground he was jumping again, but the fly slipped away, moving over to his right, toward the building.
Thersites, still on his hands and knees, followed, moving through the grass, pretending he was a cat, too, and the snake spit on the long blades wetted his knees and his hands and one of his Birkenstocks fell off, but he kept moving over to Wojo's position, then hunkered down into the grass, looking through it like he thought a tiger might, like this little tiger might.
Silence. Wojo was still, staring at the windowsill just above him, and Thersites could see a little black dot there. And Wojo had it in his sight. Was was just waiting for the right moment. There was a buzz of wings and Wojo was up there, on the sill, pushing his right paw down hard onto the brick sill. And there was no buzzing. Then Wojo carefully lifted the paw. There was a buzz, and the paw came back down.
Thersites slithered over to the sill, watching Wojo, who either didn't know he was there or didn't care. He was just staring at his right paw. Then he lifted it again, looking down at the fly. It's wings were barely moving. And so Wojo put his nose down to it, sniffed a couple times, then opened his mouth and ate it. He started to chew, and there was a crunching. Then he swallowed and looked over at Thersites, who was smiling, still crouched down in the grass.
Then from behind Wojo the curtain was moved back and he saw Liz's face looking at Wojo. And then she noticed an adult male, about six feet tall with black, loosely curly hair, wearing a now dirty T-shirt and shorts and one shoe, crouching down in the unmown grass in the courtyard of her apartment, staring at her cat. She opened the window, reached out, and petted Wojo.
"Hey, Liz," Thersites said.
"Hey, Thersites. What're you doing?"
"Oh, just following Wojo."
"Cool," she said, stepping back from the window, and through the gauzy curtain he could see her smile at him before she walked back into the darkness.

The Alchemist is "the first Whitehall farce in the language", according to Tim Pigott-Smith, who has just arrived in London with the joint Royal National TheatreBirmingham Repertory Theatre Company's production of Ben Jonson's classic. Pigott-Smith plays Subtle, the conning alchemist, on the Olivier stage. With him are Simon Callow as the master of disguise, Face, and Josie Lawrence as their accomplice, Doll Common.
The trio dupe a succession of greedy or foolish victims before they are divided by their own avarice when Lovewit, the master of the house and Face's employer, returns to plague-stricken London. Pigott-Smith likens their promises to turn base metal into gold to someone turning up on your doorstep and claiming they can help you win the National Lottery. In the context of newspaper stories about Madame Vasso and her plastic pyramid, it's clear that Jacobean society did not have a monopoly on gullibility.
Written in 1610, The Alchemist ranks alongside Volpone and Bartholomew Fair as one of Jonson's leading works. But, despite audience enthusiasm in Birmingham for Bill Alexander's production, Pigott-Smith is ambivalent about Jonson. "Shakespeare's characters are so rounded by comparison," he says, whereas Jonson's are satirical, two-dimensional caricatures, representing "humours" (hence the signpost names). This leaves less room for an actor to "inhabit".
The language, too, is undeniably difficult, full of circumlocutions, repetitions and alchemical hocus-pocus ("Jabberwocky", as Pigott-Smith calls it). "We have been quite free with it, while treating it with respect, and we've cut a lot. Just today [during the previews at the National] we've changed 'thrum' to 'slave'. During one after-show discussion in Birmingham - 125 people had stayed behind - we discovered that not one person knew the meaning of 'cozen', 'gull' or 'seraglio'." The first two, meaning to cheat and a confidence trickster's victim respectively, are central to the comedy. "Seraglio" has become "harem".
"You do have to 'sell' the play a bit," adds Pigott-Smith. "But we've never had any difficulty holding the audience; they really seem to enjoy it. Audiences clearly like seeing people have money taken off them.
"The essential Jonsonian qualities are speed and relish. And every now and again you get wonderful pictures of what London was like then, in the references to Blackfriars and Moorfields, where the beggars were."
Subtle, says Pigott-Smith, is not the most fun to play. He finds "the Anabaptist stuff" difficult because so many references no longer have any resonance. No doubt it was enjoyable at the time to see Puritans, who wanted to close the theatres, being satirised on stage. It is helpful to know, for instance, when much fuss is made of tobacco, that a principal Puritan objection to the theatre was that young people learned to smoke there. Pigott-Smith has made one particularly important decision about the part: "My notion is that Subtle really is an alchemist, that he has been imprisoned for it and that he is conning on the back of what he really knows about." While the other two conspirators adopt different characters, changing dress, accent and behaviour as necessary, Subtle "offers aspects of himself".
The world of The Alchemist is relentlessly sordid, its view of human nature jaundiced. "There is," suggests Pigott-Smith, "no spirituality" in the play, and he echoes Simon Callow's view that it is "ruthlessly masculine".
Bill Alexander's production is set in a harsh imaginary future, where costumes and set (a brilliant higgledy-piggledy edifice by William Dudley) seem to consist of leftovers from our own time forced into service to recreate an almost-forgotten past. The pentangle on the floor - a standard magician's signature - is made up of double yellow lines, and Subtle's crystal ball is a Belisha beacon.
On the London press night, there was much to enjoy even though the notorious Olivier stage had perhaps dissipated some of the energy we'd heard about from Birmingham. Here, more than anywhere, the kind of attack needed to cope with the language, what Pigott-Smith calls playing it "on the mouth", is paramount.
Peter Hall's ritualistic production of the Oedipus plays, with its masked chorus moving as a single entity, continues in repertory at the National Theatre. For tickets, 0171 928 2252; for information about Oedipus workshops, 0171 928 2033

So I grabbed my book, "The BIG IDEA – Focus the Message and Multiply the Impact", and got a little reading done.
Here are a couple of Chapter One highlights:
1. "...the last thing the mission of Jesus Christ needs is more Christians." (That's right he said it and you are going to have to read to see why.)
2. "when the Barna Research Group did a survey involving 152 separate items comparing the general population with those who called themselves Christians, they found virtually no difference between the two groups." (Say it isn't so)
3. "We have bombarded our people with too many competing little ideas, and the result is a church with more information and less clarity than perhaps ever before." (Thought about this one all through today.)
4. "The effective teacher is like a person who takes a strong rope, ties one end around the big ideas of Scripture, ties the other end around the major themes of life, and then through the power of the Spirit struggles to pull the two together." (My biggest take-away from the chapter.)

ARGH!!!! More issues with bathroom fixtures!!!
I've been trying throughout today to unscrew the shower arm, onto which you
screw the shower head. It's got an 11mm ring on which you screw the head
and nothing they make today is 11mm, they're all 8 mm. So I have to take
it out just to be able change the shower head at all.
Well, it won't budge!!! :banghead:
It's too smooth and circular, so nothing seems to be able to grip it well enough. I've tried a wrench, a pair of pliers, and also a vice grip type wrench with curved set of teeth. Nothing has worked. If anything, I've only succeeded in putting marks on the shower arm.
Any ideas?
I'm guessing the shower arm curves down like most do, You could try putting a screwdriver in the end of it (after you take off the head) to give you more leverage. if it's that tight something may break back inside the wall or the arm may break off, Can you give it a shot of penetraing oil back there?
Are you trying to uscrew the whole assembly at the wall, or just the
captive nut that holds the head? If it's the nut get two hammers and gently
tap around the circumference with one while holding the other against it
180° away from the impact zone. This will fracture the calium deposits and
also make the nut expand. Adhering rubber washers is another matter.
It might be easier just to replace the whole assembly.
By "vice grip type wrench" do you mean a stilson wrench? That would be my first thought (although I do like the hammer idea). A stilson (not sure of spelling) is the wrench that you adjust to the size you want, and then the design of it makes it tighten more as you turn it.
Oh I checked out some pictures of wrenches online. It's not a stilson
wrench, it's a mole wrench.
I am in fact trying to unscrew the whole assembly. There isn't a nut in this design, rather, they have a ring that hangs off the arm and is prevented from slipping off by a "ball" at the end of the arm. Then the shower head gets screwed onto the ring.
I'll try the screwdriver suggestion and see how that works out. Thanks for the tips!
good luck :thumbs:
yeah........ the mole wrench started cutting into the arm, even with a cloth over the metal first. This bites. I may have to call in a plumber.

The wind from the north blows at 15 m/s and rain drizzling on and off. I also hope those white flurries in the air are bird cherry petals...
Quote:According to Francis and a growing body of other researchers, the Arctic ice loss adds heat to the ocean and atmosphere which shifts the position of the jet stream – the high-altitude river of air that steers storm systems and governs most weather in northern hemisphere.
"This is what is affecting the jet stream and leading to the extreme weather we are seeing in mid-latitudes," she said. "It allows the cold air from the Arctic to plunge much further south. The pattern can be slow to change because the [southern] wave of the jet stream is getting bigger. It's now at a near record position, so whatever weather you have now is going to stick around," she said.
Francis linked the Arctic temperature rises to extreme weather in mid latitudes last year and warned in September that 2012's record sea ice melt could lead to a cold winter in the UK and northern Europe.
I got up to the cottage on Wednesday morning, and in the 48 hours I've been here it has rained all but about 10 of them, a steady straight down constant rain.
I haven't been able to get anything done, (but up here is still better than being in suburbia).
If I can't get out and do some weeding soon, the garden is going to get away from me.
I already have all my asparagus bolted, the taters need to be mulched, etc.
This year I'm going to stake the tomatoes, rather than cage, because they are too invasive to allow to let run.
What appears to be a fuzziness in the foreground by the fence is the asparagus, all sixteen 3rd year plants are from 4-6 feet high. Anyone know if they can be cut back again to produce edible asparagus?
Here's a picture:
I'm in my seventh decade on Earth. I know things.
That dosen't sound right, you should be able to get down to light frost without any damage. Pound some stakes into the ground and make a triangle around it, then tent it with an old bed sheet.
I'm in my seventh decade on Earth. I know things.
I'm in my seventh decade on Earth. I know things.
It got cold here last night and I forgot to bring the tomato in It looks fine though, I don't think it gets that close to freezing this close to water this time of year

Golf League Results – July 26, 2017 – Steve LaFara
Rotary Golf League Outing at The Legends on July 26th
Another hot day for the Rotary Golf League. Sue and Jim Petru were gracious enough to host our group at The Legends in spite of the 100 degree weather. 15 brave souls were treated to some of the toughest pin locations we have ever had. There was a Junior PGA event the same day so the course was set up extra hard for them. While eating lunch, I asked one of the participants who looked to be around 12 years old what he shot and he replied, "44 on the third nine. Pins were really tough to get to." Well, I can tell you that he was right as I don't think anyone in our group had a better score on that nine holes. Scores were a little higher than usual but everyone seemed to have a great time.
Results are listed below:
Championship Flight
1st Place – Matt Weiss 90 Gross 72 Net
2nd Place – Steve LaFara 84 Gross 76 Net
3rd Place – Flip Cady 88 Gross 81 Net
A Flight

This outing is open to all clubs members and their guests so please contact myself or David Wicks if you have any interest in joining us even if you are not already part of the golf league.

Timer is a nuisance!This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Hjohn648 months ago
I previously bought one a yr ago. Sturdy designed stand and all essential tools for frying . I placed a brick against the time to avoid it turning and that works well in keeping the flame going until you shut it off . Doesn't harm or alters your safety. Just allows you to finish the process trouble free!! Now i brought 2 more today!! Happy Frying!!
works good, that timer though, Why?This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.LeBoeuf3 years ago
I bought this mainly for a seafood boil, but if the chance came along I wanted to be able to fry fish or turkey. I wanted a all purpose burner vs. the tempting 58,000 BTU or the Jet Cooker. The timer shut off on me once I forgot about it. that's my only complaint. what's the purpose of the timer. I was hesitating buying this lower pressure BTU unit, but hey it brought water to boil less than 8 Minutes. works great! other than that I would suggest the burner to be a bigger diameter for more even ... cooking for frying?

I purchased this Burner to boil crawfish In a 15 or 20 gallon pot. It does a great job of heating large amounts of tapwater to a rolling boil in just a short time. A regular burner take for ever to heat the water to that extent. The tripod burner is also very stable and has no problem with the amount of weight involved with a pot of water and a sack of crawfish.
Buy it!This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Jordan9 months ago
If you are looking for a great burner, buy this. Deals with wind very well, very sturdy, easy to assemble, used maybe 1/3 tank of propane after burning 3 hours at near full power. Extremely happy with my purchase.

The journey finally begins!
My parents drove me to 30th St. Station in Philadelphia to board the train to Cincinnati yesterday morning, and I've spent the past 20 hours passing through the eastern countryside next to a woman named Elaine.
I boarded the train hoping to find a double seat unoccupied, but soon accepted the fact that I would have a seatmate the majority of my journey. Elaine seemed like a good choice; an older lady, not too spread out in the seat and smiling. Soon, we introduced ourselves and started friendly chatter that turned into hours of discussion and dinner in the meal car together. Elaine was telling me about her brother who had recently passed away. She was her way back to Indiana after meeting with family in New Jersey to sprinkle his ashes in the Atlantic Ocean. He had been in the Navy on a submarine and one of his final wishes was to be put at peace at sea. It was amazing to hear her talk about him and the stories he shared with her family about his time in the military, and I was glad that she was able to carry out his last wishes with her remaining family.
When we were talking about my journey, she was really interested that I was going to teach on an Indian Reservation for a year. Elaine said she remembered growing up in a time where it was acceptable for different cultures (ie: races) to mix. The fact that Indian children were not allowed to attend white schools is a sad fact of our American culture, and part of the reason I am excited to go to Arizona and work with the mission and schools down there is because I want to know more about the Navajo culture and because I don't understand why we could have been so historically atrocious to a group of people that have offered so much to Americana.
After a delay that summed up about four hours, the tired train chugged into Cincinnati at FOUR in the morning. Yes, four in the morning. I have since dubbed my friend Dennis my Knight in Shining Pick Up Truck for diligently keeping his word to pick me up despite such a delay. I planned my trip a few days ahead of what I needed for orientation in order to spend time with friends in Kentucky before I dedicated my year to service. It was good to spend time with friends, but it was also nice because I was an hour away from the retreat center instead of twenty, and there was a significant drop in how anxious I was to arrive at orientation. I can't thank my friends enough for giving me a chance to relax and get adjusted before I make significant changes in my life. I am so excited to go through orientation and move to Arizona, but I am also terribly anxious about what will be happening in the next few weeks. I pray that everything will go smoothly, and that I will have a good year, and I need to keep an open mind and an open heart about where this journey will take me.

A production line at the Dong Xuan Knitting Company In 2017, Hanoi's export turnover was estimated to reach US$11.542 billion, a year-on-year increase of 8%, with local exports accounting for US$9.582 billion, up 9.3% and the target set by the municipal People's Council and People's Committee. Commodities seeing a high growth rate over the same period last year were electronic goods (44.1%); gas and oil (29.4%); transport vehicles and spare parts (28.6%); and machinery, equipment, and accessories (25.1%). The above results show that enterprises have seized the initiative to take advantage of the recovery of big economies as well as key export markets such as the US, Japan, EU, and China. In addition, the city's authorities have synchronously developed numerous specific measures to support businesses in promoting their exports. Since the beginning of 2017, Hanoi issued a series of projects and plans in this field, notably Plan No.89/KH-UBND on the implementation of measures to promote the city's exports in 2017 which was released on April 17. In order to help enterprises gain basic knowledge during their access to international market, the city organised over 12 training courses for more than 2,400 participants through which information was provided on key export markets and free trade agreements (FTA) and ways to support enterprises during the international integration and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities. The courses also introduced handbooks providing trade defence guidelines on FTAs for different industries. The city also paid special attention to trade promotion and economic cooperation, joining numerous fairs,… [Read full story]

The AIRVET Alliance includes AIRVET project partners, associated partners and other organisations that have joined activities of the project during its implementation. One of the strategic objectives of the AIRVET Alliance is to foster a close, open, informal dialogue and sustained interactions and networking between stakeholders in the aerospace sector. In this context, we try to explore all possible synergies with other projects and initiatives aimed at fostering this sectoral dialogue towards a true European collaboration for aerospace.
AIRVET consortium
The AIRVET consortium is composed of 10 partners from 6 countries, representing 3 types of actors of key importance to the AI sector and to the accomplishment of the objectives of the project: Bodies with aeronautic specific expertise; VET providers; Bodies involved in education and training systems.

During the development of the project, other organisations have collaborated with AIRVET, for example as associated partners. Although the project formally ended in October 2015, favourable conditions have been created for the future of these collaborations between AIRVET partners.
In order to strengthen the Alliance, the AIRVET consortium should stimulate the exchange between projects and initiatives in order to establish sustainable future collaborations and future joint efforts. This has been and will continue to be implemented in several ways including: the exchange of speakers, the organisation of joint workshops, dissemination in project newsletters, joint seminars and participation in project events presenting and releasing information about the AIRVET materials.
Below you will find some projects and initiatives with which AIRVET has established collaborations:
|ASHLEY project
ASHLEY (Avionics Systems Hosted on a distributed modular electronics Large scale dEmonstrator for multiple tYpe of aircraft) will consolidate and integrate the results of SCARLETT and several national collaborative research projects to achieve demonstration of the most advanced building blocks available today in a whole aircraft-level platform.

|IN2SAI project
The IN2SAI project intends to increase the participation of female students in higher education studies in scientific fields (especially those relevant for aeronautics) and to contribute to their integration into the Aeronautic Industry (AI). Objectives:
– Enhance collaboration among academia and industry, so that academia can better address the needs of industry and both can contribute to better gender balance by increasing the participation of female students/workers.
– Identify existing reasons and possible causes for the low female interest in scientific studies and participation in the AI.
– Increase the interest of female students/young women in scientific studies and AI careers by providing information on existing opportunities, presenting successful examples and promoting events where they can share opinions and experiences with stakeholders involved in those sectors.
– Raise awareness of the opportunities for female participation in scientific studies and AI, through the organisation of several events and the release of promotional material.
