The Pink Kar Ferrari 250 GTO has been around for some time now in one form or another and although the subject matter falls into the 'serious wants' category, I can honestly say I've only seen two examples of this make, 'til now.
Pink Kar have obviously had access to old moulds for some of their earlier models. In the absence of official confirmation I'm sure I would right in saying that the Austin Healey 3000, the 'C' type Auto Union and the Bugatti are prior Scalextric mouldings or copies of! So much so that my Pink Kar Bugatti, which came with a little HO type motor, presented no problem converting it to the open frame Scalextric RX type motor. In actuality, the motor dropped straight in to existing mounts in the body mouldings!
Early Pink Kar models came with the little HO motor and although these motors are rated at 28,000 rpm at 12v. They have little torque. It is a big ask to get these heavy models rolling, especially the Auto Union! I also suspect these motors would be a big off put to more experienced slot car racers and collectors. But with the Ferrari GTO (and probably others I've yet to see) Pink Kar have gone for the Mabuchi 'S' can motor. Called the 'Power Plus 1" this motor is probably on a par with the Ninco NC1. It is a can end drive like the NC1 and on the track shows all the spirit and tenacity of this feisty little motor.
With the exception of the SCM's amongst us, this model will delight most. It comes reasonably well set up and runs promisingly well straight out of the box and first impressions are that there won't be too much fettling to make it a satisfactory racer. Closer inspection will show there are some glaring faults which don't impinge too much on its track performance but as a shelf queen it is a bit rough round the edges. Pink Kars down under are not a cheap experience. After a couple of false starts with other retailers promising the earth, I managed to procure this model from Pendleslot for a grand sum total inc P+P of $73.00. I have to say that Sean at Pendleslot offers exceptional service for international customers.
The Ferrari 250 GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) was the baby and brain child of a team of engineers led by Giotto Bizzarrini. And as with all great creations they put new body and aerodynamics to tried and tested engineering to produce a car which was to be pivotal in Ferrari's development as a world class racing car manufacturer. After being tested by Stirling Moss at Monza with great success, the car was ready for its debut. This was to be the 1962 12 hours of Sebring where on its maiden outing it achieved second place overall for the NART in the hands of Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien and a class win. A succession of victories and placings in short circuit and endurance racing were to follow, not to mention the increasing number of 'look alikes' that were to follow. In a couple of short years it left its mark on world motor sport which was to see Ferrari become a dominant force for years to come.
The original engine was a single overhead camshaft 2953cc 60deg. V12 from the Testa Rossa producing 300 bhp at 7,500 rpm. This was fitted into an all new aluminium 'barchetta' body.
The model in question is a good likeness and when comparing it to original photos it looks very convincing. The model is moulded in a very nice white plastic and the body looks to me to be painted and clear lacquered. The few decals that there are, are clear and precise. The model comes in the 'Laguna Seca livery of 1963 and has a well defined blue 'GT' stripe down the centre. The headlights are well depicted, being clear units with chrome rims.
First loss of points is for the less than good fit of the left hand headlight. There is quite a large gap between the top edge of the lamp and the body! Moving on, the air scoops in the bonnet and the chrome wipers look a little 1960's. No problem with the Monza style filler cap at the rear but the twin exhaust are another legacy of a bygone era. Still from the outside, the wheels are very bright but as spoked wheels they are not too convincing. Looking inside the model we see that Mr. Blobby lives on! A very basic 'arms out' driver stance and a unique crash helmet. On closer inspection, another detraction is the seams left by the moulding process. Not excessive but just a few around the front and enough to destroy the lines of the front. On the test slot, the model looks 'high' on the chassis and a little surreal! Large areas of space between the tyre tops and the wheel arches! Points deducted!
Underneath is very tidy, very modern. An earlier Scalextric style guide up front with minimal front to back and side play. The motor protrudes through the chassis and is tight too! The whole chassis is held in with one screw!! The front tucks into the front grille opening and a single screw at the back holds all in place.
On removing the body the inside displayed all the makings of a good set up. There is a degree of body pinch which would have to be addressed for the model to give its best on the track. The front axle has minimal side play but it is set up to move up and down. Track testing will determine if this is detrimental to its handling. There is a ninco style magnet mounted centrally in front of the motor. This is a thin type button magnet and doesn't generate too much unwanted downforce for the motor to overcome. The motor is mounted with a couple of adapters? This obviously allows a larger motor to fit the chassis but at the moment I don't know which one it would be, maybe the SCX RX 1 type motor? The rear axle is standard RTR equipment and is mounted in brass bushes. The axle being a very good fit in the bushes.
At this point the only other observation would be that although the wheels are reasonably concentric, the tyres have trouble sitting squarely on them! The tyres have good grip on board and plastic but are a poor moulding and no matter how much you move or manipulate them they are doomed to have a lot of run out or side movement. The tread area too is very convex and to sand them down would leave little rubber left I'm sure! So, more points lost for this poor quality control.
On plastic and board tracks I can say it goes well out of the box. As mentioned before, it is about the same power as the NC1 models and is very well behaved with little preparation. It is able to dive into corners fairly confidently and moderate to hard acceleration on the exit of bends shows the model drifting controllably but not excessively onto the straights. This model is fairly quiet too. No sidewinder whine or harsh in line noises for this one, a good steady model with a lot to offer. Or is it!
It is a slot car phenomenon that sees a model drive like the wind and be a peach to drive and become a favourite when driven hard without competition, but when you put something else beside it with the intention to race, there are some cars that have Jekyll and Hyde personalities. This car is one of them. Full of sweetness and light on its own but a different personality under pressure.
The model in question will get up to some strange tricks if raced hard. Unannounced understeering deslots as if the corner wasn't there. Three sixty spins in bends and front end hop outs on hard exits. I attribute all of these to the model being too light! This car weighs in at sixty-four grams and although not an ultra light, I still think it could do with fifteen to twenty extra grams. It only has 22 grams up front and even on a smooth board track it is too light to keep the front down over undulations. On plastic the small button magnet imparts a feeling of stability only to let go when you weren't expecting it. And the tyres, well, they will have to go! Fortunately it looks like the Ninco Classic 20 x 7's will go straight on the wheels and the model will definitely need extra weight then
Wheelbase 74.0 mm
Front Axle width 51.0 mm
Rear axle width 54.5 mm
Overall weight 64.0 grams
Rear axle load 42.0 grams
Front Axle load 22 grams
Front / Rear weight dist. 34% / 66.0%
Pinion 9z
Crownwheel 27z
Final drive ratio 3 : 1
Rear wheel diameter 20.5 mm
This model could be a potential winner on a twisty non magnet circuit but it would need time and money spent on some basics to restore some of that 'under pressure' confidence. At the price it is the money might be better spent on something a bit better 'out of the box', so, as in the past, there probably won't be too many of these picking up line honours in the future!

News International changes name to News UK
News International, the media company behind newspapers including the Times and the Sun, has changed its name to News UK.
The rebranding comes as part of a broader revamp of the company, owned by Rupert Murdoch, following the phone-hacking scandal.
The company has recently announced editorial changes at both the Times and the Sun.
It was forced to close its News of the World title in 2011.
Former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks is among those facing charges over the hacking scandal.
The BBC's media correspondent, David Sillito, says the new name is an attempt at "brand decontamination" following months of negative headlines surrounding the News International brand.
'Fundamental changes'
In an announcement on its rebranded website, News UK said the new name and logo were "designed to convey a more coherent and logical identity for the new parent company across the globe".
The News UK logo is based on the new logo of parent company News Corp, which was unveiled earlier this year.
News Corp is in the process of being split into separate publishing and entertainment companies.
The more profitable entertainment business is being spun off under the name 21st Century Fox.
News UK said the name change followed "fundamental changes of governance and personnel that have taken place to address the problems of the recent past".
"New policies and procedures are in place across the company, its main titles are all under new leadership and the executive team has been transformed," the company said.
Several News International journalists, along with Ms Brooks, have been arrested in connection with phone-hacking since 2011.
Both of the groups major titles are set for changes in editorship.
Last week, the editor of the Sun, Dominic Mohan, was replaced with News International's former director of operations David Dinsmore, while the Times is still to appoint a new permanent editor following the resignation of James Harding in December last year.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live, Mr Dinsmore said the new name reflected the desire to join up the group's newspaper brands around the world in preparation for the split with 21st Century Fox.
"The publishing side has a great new era ahead of it, and it makes a lot more sense to join up the brands around the world," he said.

Google's mail and application services are unavailable to some users.
Google's apps status dashboard shows that its Mail, Drive file storage service and office-application services are "disrupted.'' Its administrator control panel, which lets companies manage their Google applications, is completely down.
The disruptions started affecting people worldwide around 5 a.m. California time.
Google Inc. did not immediately respond to questions about the cause of the outage and how many people were affected.
It released a statement to CNBC that read: We are currently investigating issues with Gmail, Drive and Docs as well as the Google Apps Control Panel.
According to Google's apps status webpage, the outage is affecting less than .007 percent of Gmail users.
Those impacted by the outage received the following message:
"Google Drive encountered an error. If reloading the page doesn't help, please report the error. We're sorry, a server error occurred. Please wait a bit and try reloading your spreadsheet. To learn more about Google Drive, please visit our help center."
CNBC said users impacted by the outage can try logging on to iGoogle.com and logging in with their Gmail password. If your Gmail account isn't in one of the columns, try clicking the "Add Gadget" icon in the upper-right hand corner of the iGoogle webpage. Search for "Gmail" and click "add it now" to your iGoogle page. Then return to your iGoogle page and see if it appears.

As is often the case, I find the most helpful offering for girls in teen girl magazines can be found in the shared experiences of the girls themselves.
A passion of mine is opening up safe spaces for girls to talk about issues which are often surrounded by shame, meaning girls don't get the help they need. One of these issues is self-harm, which has increased 90 percent in older adolescents and 60 percent in younger adolescents, in a mere ten years. So I was pleased to see Dolly again giving space to this issue (I commended the magazine for exploring cutting in its June issue also).
Danielle, who began harming in 2010, tells her story in 'Reality Reads'. "I was home alone and all the negative thoughts were taking over my mind: that I wasn't good enough, that I was too ugly. I thought I deserved pain so I inflicted it on myself," she says. It was seeing an interview with Demi Lovato, who had just come out of rehab for depression and self-harm, that helped Danielle turn things around. "…after I heard Demi, I thought I could get through this," she says. With the help of medical treatment, she has been free of self-harm for two years. She tweets via @ForeverWithJoeJ about recovery and fundraises for BeyondBlue and Headspace "because they helped me a lot". She recommends an online session at headpace.org.au where young people can talk to a professional through a chat screen. Read more here

HAMDEN, Conn. (AP) Ike Azotam posted a double-double and Shaq Shannon came off the bench to hit six 3-pointers in Quinnipiac's 85-78 win over Central Connecticut State on Thursday night in a Northeastern Conference matchup.
Azotam finished with 13 points and 17 rebounds, one short of his career-high, Shannon had 18 points, Zaid Hearst recorded his fifth straight game in double figures with 17 points, and Jamee Jackson chipped in 14.
Quinnipiac (7-12, 3-4) held a 51-31 rebounding edge, its second largest margin of the season, and has now outrebounded opponents in 20 straight games dating back to last season.
Kyle Vinales paced Central Connecticut State (7-11, 3-4) with 32 points and Matt Hunter had 13 but the Blue Devils got just 18 points off the bench and let Quinnipiac pull down 17 offensive boards.
The Bobcats scored 15 second-chance points, 38 points in the paint and got 31 points off the bench.

Nats' Opening Day features awards, heroes
WASHINGTON -- An offseason of hype gave way to an Opening Day filled with fanfare for the Nationals on Monday afternoon, as the team featured a jam-packed set of festivities before its game against the Marlins.
The Nationals reflected on last season's success by unveiling their National League East title banner and handing out numerous awards, while celebrities and military members lent some additional gravitas to the proceedings.
A standing-room-only crowd filled Nationals Park early to celebrate last year's 98-win season and look ahead to a campaign packed with expectations.
"Opening Day is a special day for everyone, particularly the fans in Washington coming off of last year," Nationals chief operating officer Andrew Feffer said. "It's not just hope, it's what the expectations are for this year.
"It's about the atmosphere. There's an energy and vibe that hadn't existed until last year."
One of the centerpieces of the day was the division-title banner, which was revealed atop the scoreboard in right field.
"There was a lot of hard work from a lot of people," Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said. "It's a proud day for the organization, and being a general manager of the organization, I take great pride in being the National League East champions, and today starts anew. So we'll unveil that, put it behind us and start looking toward '13 and doing something special."
The Nationals also honored several key pieces of last season's success. Rizzo received his MLB Executive of the Year Award, Davey Johnson his NL Manager of the Year Award, Bryce Harper his NL Rookie of the Year Award and first baseman Adam LaRoche his NL Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Awards. Shortstop Ian Desmond and pitcher Stephen Strasburg also received Silver Slugger Awards.
For LaRoche, starting his 10th Major League season, the awards were his first. Family and friends came in from out of town to see him take the hardware.
"I got them four or five months ago and still haven't seen them yet," LaRoche said. "It'll be cool to finally see them and get my hands on them.
"So it'll be neat, especially the Gold Glove, which is something I've kind of worked toward my whole career, quietly. It was always something I've really wanted to get. So it took nine years, but I can't complain. It'll be pretty cool to have one."
The Nationals also welcomed several guests for the festivities. Broadcaster James Brown was the master of ceremonies, and Washington, D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray delivered the lineup cards to home plate. Winthrop Roosevelt, the great-great grandson of Theodore Roosevelt -- who now takes the form of the one of the team's racing presidents -- gave the call to "Play ball."
Staff Sergeant Clint Romesha, a Medal of Honor recipient for his heroics serving the U.S. Army in Afghanistan, threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
"It's a great honor to be invited out here to throw out the first pitch Opening Day for the Nationals," Romesha said. "This is something presidents do, it's something celebrities do, but to see that welcome for a military service, that hand reaching out from the Nationals and all they've done, it's a true honor to just be in the this moment and having this experience."
Feffer called the military "part of the fabric of the Washington Nationals," and service members played a major role in the ceremonies. Army Staff Sergeant Brian Keaton raised the Nationals flag in the center-field plaza. the U.S. Army Chorus Quartet performed "America the Beautiful," and later the national anthem after the U.S. Armed Forces Color Guard -- accompanied by the U.S. Navy Drummers -- presented the colors.
Children of deployed service members ran out on the field before the first inning to be joined by Nationals players, and Admiral Sandy Winnefeld, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, delivered the game ball.
All of the pomp and circumstance served as a reminder of the franchise's progress since it arrived in Washington from Montreal in 2005.
"I think it's a testament to this club and how far they've come, because I remember coming here and playing against the Nationals, and they were awful," LaRoche said. "[RFK Stadium, the Nats' former home] was a bad stadium, it was a bad ballclub -- you almost felt bad for them.
"So to see the change here, where instead of feeling bad for the Nationals, now you have a lot of teams I'm sure are jealous of the Nationals. So it's been a pretty cool one-eighty they've done and now you're seeing it. You're seeing it with the fans that come out, you'll see it with everything that takes place before today's game."

HIALEAH, Fla. — A man set fire to his South Florida apartment, killed six people, and held another two hostage at gunpoint before a SWAT team stormed the complex and fatally shot him on Saturday, according to police and witness accounts.
The ordeal lasted eight hours, with Pedro Vargas running through the building, firing at random and eluding officers for part of it, police said.
Vargas, 43, set a combustible liquid on fire on Friday evening to start the blaze, police spokesman Carl Zogby said.
The building manager and his wife noticed smoke and ran to the apartment. Vargas came out and shot several times, killing both of them, according to the police account.
Vargas then went to his fourth-story balcony and fired 10 to 20 shots in the street, killing a man who was parking a car outside, Zogby said.
Then, Vargas went down to the third floor, kicked the door in on another apartment and killed a man, his wife and their teen daughter.
Zogby said Vargas then ran through the building, firing "at random, in a very irrational fashion."
"He kept running from us as he fired at us, and we fired at him," Zogby said.
He forced his way into an apartment and took two people hostage at gunpoint.
Ester Lazcano lives two doors down from where the shooting began and said she was in the shower when she heard the first shots, then there were at least a dozen more.
"I felt the shots," she said.
Miriam Valdes, 70, lives on the building's top floor – one floor above where the shooting began. She said she heard gunfire and later saw smoke and what smelled like burned plastic entering her apartment, and ran in fear to the unit across the hall.
A crisis team was able to briefly establish communication with Vargas. Sgt. Eddie Rodriguez said negotiators and a SWAT team tried talking with him from the other side of the door of the unit where he held the hostages.
Valdes said she heard about eight officers talking with him as she stayed holed up at the neighboring apartment. She said officers told him to "let these people out."
"We're going to help you," she said they told him.
She said the gunman first asked for his girlfriend and then his mother but refused to cooperate.
Rodriguez said the talks eventually "just fell apart." Officers stormed the building, fatally shooting the gunman in an exchange of gunfire.
"They made the decision to go in there and save and rescue the hostages," Rodriguez said. Both hostages survived.
Neighbors said the shooter lived in the building with his mother. Police don't believe she was home at the time of the shootings.
"He was a good son," Lazcano said. "He'd take her in the morning to run errands" and took her to doctor appointments.
But Valdes said he was known as a difficult person who sometimes got into fights and yelled at his mother.
"He was a very abusive person," she said. "He didn't have any friends there."
Zogby called Vargas' background "unremarkable." He said police are investigating any possible disputes between Vargas and the building manager but don't yet have any information on a possible motive. "Nobody seems to know why he acted the way he acted," Zogby said.
He said police had not responded to any prior calls at his home or found any criminal background on him.
Zulima Niebles said police told her that three of her family members were among the victims. She said her sister Merly Sophia Niebles, her sister's husband, and her sister's teen daughter Priscila Perez were all shot and killed.
Zulima Niebles' husband, Agustin Hernandez, was moving the family's things out of the apartment building and into his car Saturday. Among them were several photos, one showing the teen smiling in a red graduation gown, another of his sister-in-law in a white dress and pearls.
Hernandez said his sister-in-law's husband was a friend of the building manager.
Marcela Chavarri, director of the American Christian School, said Priscila Perez was about to enter her senior year at the school.
"She was a lovely girl," Chavarri said through tears. "She was always happy and helping her classmates."
In Hialeah – a suburb of about 230,000 residents, about three-quarters of whom are Cuban or Cuban-American – the street in the quiet, apartment-building-lined neighborhood was still blocked by tape Saturday afternoon.
The building where the standoff occurred is an aging, beige structure with an open terrace in the middle. It has 90 to 95 units. The apartment where neighbors said the shooting started was charred, the door and ceiling immediately outside burned black.
Zogby called the whole building a crime scene. "He probably fired dozens of shots during the whole incident," he said.
"It could have been a much, much more dangerous situation."

You are entering the hottest, driest, lowest spot in North America. Despite its forbidding image, Death Valley is a mecca for nature lovers of all kinds. For geologists, this region is unsurpassed in beauty and complexity. The forces that raised majestic mountain ranges and dropped the valley floor between them are still in action today.
The story of Death Valley is dominated by its geology. Its harsh desert climate results from a rain shadow effect created by mountains uplifted to the west. A unique flora and fauna are adapted to its deep, fault-dropped valleys. The extreme conditions here have attracted hardy, adaptable, and sometimes eccentric, human inhabitants.

DURHAM — Just making the playoffs is no longer good enough for the University of New Hampshire football team.
The Wildcats want more. They almost had more with one game left in the regular season with a chance to clinch their first outright CAA title at home and maybe get a home playoff game in the bargain.
Those possibilities evaporated in a 64-35 loss to Towson at Cowell Stadium. Instead, they had to settle for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament and a second-round game at Wofford which didn't go well either.
"Obviously it's a real disappointing thing when you don't finish the way you'd like to finish," said coach Sean McDonnell. "It's frustrating."
It was frustrating watching the defense get pushed around, especially late in the season. UNH allowed 869 yards rushing in its last two games combined, including 454 against Wofford.
"If you're not physical and you don't tackle," McDonnell said, "you're going to get beat. It's something you better get better at. I thought there were some strides throughout the year where we did some things, but late in the year those last two games were eye-openers."
An offense that was averaging more than 36 points per game also faded at the end, producing only seven points over the final six quarters of the season.
"Offensively, we never got in a good rhythm and we turned the ball over," said junior running back Chris Setian. "You just can't do that in the playoffs."
The defense scored the Wildcats' only touchdown in their 23-7 setback against Wofford.
That was their third straight playoff loss and fourth in their last five. UNH has gone two years without a postseason win.
"It's almost a tradition that this team makes the playoffs," Setian said. "Now we have to figure out a way to finish the year. Just getting into the playoffs isn't good enough any more. We've got to push the envelope."
Nine consecutive trips to the FCS playoffs is an enviable streak, but the lack of postseason success is troubling.
"You expect to play well," McDonnell said. "You expect to have the opportunity to go on. When you have those expectations and they aren't met there's disappointment.
"We've got some young kids in the program coming back that are good players," McDonnell added, "but at the same time you question how close are we."
"As hard as this team plays, when we get to the playoffs we've got to finish," Setian said. "A lot of us are starting to wonder what we've got to do."
The Wildcats put themselves in good position with a six-game win streak after starting the season 2-2.
UNH beat only one team (Richmond) that ended the season with a winning record.
"You go 2-2 and then you make a pretty good run," McDonnell said. "I don't care who we played or what their records were, we won the games we needed to win."
They even had a bye week between the last two games of the regular season to rest and get healthy. When the Wildcats returned after the break, however, they didn't look like the same team.
They had another bye between the Towson and Wofford games. UNH played the equivalent of one game in a month.
"There's a lot of validity to that," McDonnell said. "You look at the last three, four weeks of the season, would I like to have some things back and probably do some things differently to see if the results were different? Absolutely."
"I think we need to get back that toughness that UNH has lived on the past 10 years," Setian said. "We need to dig deep even further to push us over that hump we seem to find ourselves on in the playoffs."
It wasn't all bad. Many programs would kill to go 8-4. The Wildcats entered the season with several question marks, most notably at quarterback.
They ended up with two. Redshirt freshman Sean Goldrich won the job in training camp, but got hurt in the second game at Minnesota. Sophomore Andy Vailas took over and played very well.
When Goldrich returned, both played and sometimes were even on the field at the same time. McDonnell doesn't anticipate a similar scenario next season, meaing the competition in the spring should be keen.
"I thought at times it worked really, really well," he said, "and I think at times it may have taken away from some of the continuity in the offense."
The Wildcats rarely played well on both sides of the ball in the same game this season.
"We've got to find a formula for that," McDonnell said. "We've been close. We just haven't been able to put all that stuff together."
Most of the skill position players on offense will return next year, but the defense will take some serious hits with the loss of linebackers Matt Evans and Alan Buzbee and defensive tackle Jared Smith.
"I thought we did some really good things in the offseason to prepare for this season," McDonnell said. "It showed. We just didn't finish. That word is going to be a major, major part of our discussion in the next six, seven months."
Offensive linemen Chris Zarkoskie and Mickey DiLima are also graduating as is cornerback Dontra Peters.
"I don't think it was a failure as a year," Setian said, "but we're a little disappointed, obviously. We're going to be disappointed unless we win the national championship."

Over the weekend, we went to a beautiful garden wedding. Normally, I get the gift registry and purchase something from it for the bride and groom. But with our schedule this weekend, it was easier for me to make a gift with some supplies I already had.
I started with a 9 x12 gallery wrapped canvas. Their colors (I did look at the registry online to get an idea of what colors they were using) were a steely blue, chocolate brown, and gray.
I picked these three colors that seemed closest to what they were using:
Using a clip art program, I found a silhouette of a tree I liked, (you can search by Google or the Graphics Fairy) and then added the couple's name to the bottom.
I flipped the printed design over, tracing the image with a pencil on the wrong side. Once the edges were traced, I flipped it back over and taped it to the canvas with painter's tape.
The image was once again traced around the edges, transferring the image to the canvas.
The tree and lettering were all done in the Burnt Umber.
It still needed something, and I considered painting a little heart in the branches in the tree- instead, I decided to make it look like their initials were carved in the tree trunk.
Using the Mississippi Mud and the tip of an embosser, I lightly dipped it in the paint and 'wrote' their initials in the trunk with a heart around it.
I was pretty excited when we got to the wedding and got the programs- on the front was R + R.
You can sign your creation like I did, with your name and their wedding date.
A personalized family tree keepsake for the newlyweds!

With Shawn Welch, a tech wizard, Guy Kawasaki wrote "APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur—How to Publish a Book" to help people take control of their writing careers by publishing their books. The thesis of APE is simple but powerful: When a self-publisher successfully fills three roles—author, publisher and entrepreneur—the potential benefits are greater than with traditional publishing. Guy and Shawn call this "artisanal publishing."
APE is 300 pages of tactical and practical inspiration. I decided instead of writing traditional review, just to collect together all most important conclusions in the end of any chapter of the book – like attempt for synthesis of authors ideas about "artisanal publishing" in 1300 words:

I love my Chuckie T's! Great story and a great reminder that printed genealogies are not always accurate and should be double-checked.ReplyDelete
It not a myth the Converse's are from the royal bloodline.
This is another starting point pre internet you can check the Micro-fiche for your self and see what you find.
CONVERSE CONNECTIONS BY MARLENE LAING There has been dispute over who the father of Edward Converse is. Is it Allen or is it Christopher? Using the LDS Micro-fiche from Northampton and Essex England I have checked all possible connections to Allen and to Christopher and Edward. The following, in my estimation clears it up very well. I find that Edward is the son of Christopher for the reasons shown. CHRISTOPHER CONVERSE married MARY HALFORD 1589 in Wakerly Northampton England Mary Halford b. abt. 1554 There is no Allen born to Christopher Converse in Wakerly. Children for Christopher and Mary Halford: Edward b. 30 Jan 1590 Wakerly Mary b. 1591 John b. 1593 Lucy b. 1595 Joshua b. 1596 EDWARD CONVERSE b. 30 Jan. 1590 Wakerly Northampton England married SARAH SMITH abt. 1613 Wakerly I found no other marriages as far as micro-fiche goes for Northampton or Essex for Edward Converse. I am sure they exist but none found there. Children for Edward Converse b. in Wakerly James b. 1620 Josiah b. 1632 Mary b. 1636 There are no children of these names in Essex. These are the children born to Edward son of Christopher. So if Edward was the son of Allen of Essex his children that came to America with him should be there also. ALLEN CONVERSE in NAVESTOCK ESSEX ENGLAND There are several Allen's born in Navestock , 1518-1555-1586 children for Allen Converse, no wife listed. ALLEN CONVERSE of NAVESTOCK ESSEX ENGLAND There are as I said other Allen's b. in Navestock, 1518-1555-1586 In alphabetical order by name not year. ANDREW b. 1591 Navestock ANNE b. 1599 ANTHONY b. 1562 DANIEL b. 1609 EDWARD b. 23 Mar 1588 I believe this is the Edward everyone gets mixed up. He is the son of Allen and he married SARAH PARKER 29 Jun 1614, Great Burstead, Essex England. GABRIEL b. 1605 HESTER b. 1612 JANE b. 1568 JOANNA b. 1559 JOHN b. 1530 and one in 1566 MARGARET b. 1500 RICHARD b. 1495 RICHARD b. 1600 SUSAN b. 1603 THOMAS b. 1560 WILLIAM b. 1574 Colonial Families of America: 12 June 1630, The Winthrop Fleet, Salem, MA: CONVERSE Edward, probably of Shenfield, Essex, settled Charlestown Mrs. Sarah Converse Phineas Converse John Converse Josiah Converse James Converse
Capt. James Parker was married to Elizabeth Long, Anna Converse's sister. And Mary Converse married Nicholas Parker, great grandfather of NY Judge Amasa Junius Parker, a father -in- law of John V.L. Pruyn, Major Gen. Seldon Erastus Converse, brother -in -law of Dr Benjamin Franklin Goodyear; Erastus Corning Jr. and Langdon Parker Marvin, a law partner of Pres. Roosevelt. Nicholas Parker was a ancestor of Dea. Thomas Parker b. 1609, brother of Capt. James Parker b. 1617.

Disciplined Konerko climbing club's ranks
CHICAGO -- The discipline and hard work used by Paul Konerko to reach 2,137 hits with the White Sox reminds many of the style in which current manager Robin Ventura played the game. They both were true leaders by example.
With a wry smile, though, Ventura said Konerko clearly is the better player.
"He's a better player and that carries more weight. His longevity shows that," Ventura said. "Everybody is different, but for him there's a method to what he does and what he believes in and what he feels he has to do before he goes to the plate. A lot of people can have that and not have the talent. He has the talent.
"When you have a guy like him, people see what he's doing. He's always been like that. He is a leader. He doesn't have to scream. He does it by example. If he has something to say, he'll say it, but most of it is by example."
Konerko moved past Frank Thomas for third place on the club's hit list with an RBI single -- No. 2,137 -- in the fourth inning Friday night against the Mariners.
Konerko knows his swing about as well as any hitter in the American League, but admits he's always tinkering to refine it or even find it at some points during the season. He's always a team-first guy but took the time Friday to talk about his name being associated with the Big Hurt.
"Frank's the best hitter that's ever been in this organization, so just to have that in a category where you're tied with him ...," Konerko said. "No. 1 is just being out there a lot and showing up to the play. I'm proud of that.
"Some of that stuff can get skewed a little bit. I don't know what the at-bats are. I think I played longer here than he did maybe by a little bit now. He walked so much because guys were afraid of him, so he had less at-bats to actually swing the bat. There are things you factor into it. But it's cool nonetheless, any time you get mentioned with a guy that's going to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer here soon.
"Obviously, the biggest key for any hitter is trying to be as disciplined as you can to the work every day coming in here," Konerko said. "It sounds easy, but it's hard to come in every day year after year and keep doing it, get your work in the right way. And to go out there and compete, that's basically it. And there's a lot of luck."

Cancer Prevention Breakthroughs
Eating veggies may prevent cancer cells from growing.
It all started when Chinese scientists fed rice and veggies to some mice. What they learned was kind of amazing: Genetic material from plant foods, called microRNA, altered the expression of some of the critters' genes. Lab rats we are not, but these results, along with other research that found plant microRNA in human blood samples, suggest that microRNA "may block genes that are associated with cancer," says Linda Birnbaum, Ph.D., director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. This knowledge could be crucial to preventing tumors from developing, because most cancers begin when genes switch on or off inappropriately, causing cells to grow out of control. First, though, more research needs to be done to see how plant microRNA works in the human body.
What to do: Eat the good stuff. Lots of it—at least 2 1/2 cups of vegetables and 1 1/2 cups of fruit every day. You'll know you're on the right track if half of what's on your plate at meals is produce. Be sure to mix things up: Different fruit and vegetables contain different microRNA and cancer-fighting antioxidants.
Your perk: Fewer munchies. Produce is full of fiber, which helps keep you full longer, so you eat less.
Good sugar levels may drop your risk.
Got your sweet tooth under control? Great! Type 2 diabetes may raise your chances of developing cancer, research finds. One possible culprit: insulin. When people become insulin-resistant—often because of weight gain—their body produces more of the hormone to compensate. "Certain body tissues, including those in the breast and colon, have insulin receptors. It's likely that high insulin levels speed the growth of those tissues, which leads to damage that can result in cancer," explains Lewis Cantley, Ph.D., a biochemist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
What to do: Keep that blood sugar in check. If you're not already eating whole-wheat everything, now is the time to start. Your body processes refined carbs quickly, causing your blood sugar to spike and insulin levels to go up, Cantley says. And beware of added sugars, such as honey, agave nectar and dextrose, which often sneak into packaged foods.
Your perk: Smooth skin. Refined sugar binds to collagen and elastin, possibly breaking down skin and creating wrinkles you definitely don't need.
A bit of chocolate could ward off colon cancer.
OK, we know we just said to lay off the sugar. But there's an exception: The polyphenols in cocoa beans may prevent cellular changes that cause cancerous cells to grow, a study in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research reports. The research was done on animals, but the study's authors speculate that the benefits could apply to humans, too.
What to do: Pick your chocolate wisely. To get the most polyphenols and the least sugar, look for dark chocolate with a minimum 70 percent cocoa and stick to a small square (about 1 ounce) a day. More is not better.
Your perk: Skinny jeans. Adults who regularly eat chocolate are up to 7 pounds slimmer than those who don't eat the treat, research finds.
Exercise more: It's great for your breasts.
This summer brought happy news for active girls. Those who get moving for 10 to 19 hours a week slash their odds of cancer later in life by one third. This particular study in Cancer looked at breast cancer risk, but physical activity may also protect us from colon and lung cancer, in part by altering levels of insulin and other hormones that can drive cancer development.
What to do: Ten to 19 hours in seven days may seem like a ton, but it's totally doable. The new research found that intensity doesn't matter, which means that activities such as walking the dog and cleaning count, says lead researcher Lauren McCullough of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Your perk: An easier cycle. If PMS makes you moody, there's evidence that breaking a sweat could help lift the black cloud.
Folate isn't only for pregnant ladies.
Women with high levels of folate in their diet have a 40 percent lower risk for premenopausal breast cancer compared with women who consume little of the B vitamin, researchers at Vanderbilt University and the Shanghai Cancer Institute discovered. Your cells use folate to make and repair DNA, and damaged genes can spur cancer growth. Also cool: Getting enough of the vitamin may offset the risks of moderate drinking. Alcohol blocks the absorption of folate and has been linked to an increased risk for breast cancer.
What to do: Aim for 400 micrograms of folate daily by loading up on foods such as leafy greens and citrus fruit. No supplement needed.
Your perk: A happier mood. Folate stimulates production of the feel-good chemical serotonin. People with low levels are more likely to be depressed.
Dim the lights. You just might fight cancer.
Being exposed to ordinary room light in the evening decreases levels of the hormone melatonin, a study in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism shows. Melatonin not only helps bring on sleep, but it may also regulate estrogen, a key hormone associated with breast cancer. This study could in part explain what scientists have long suspected: Exposure to artificial light after sundown may increase our cancer risk, says Richard Stevens, Ph.D., a cancer epidemiologist at the University of Connecticut Health Center. Another hint: Women on the night shift get more breast cancer than nine-to-fivers.
What to do: Switch to lamps with low-intensity incandescent bulbs (no fluorescent lights!) about two hours before bed. Stevens also recommends installing a dim red bulb in the bathroom. That way, you won't mess with your melatonin when you've got to pee at 3 a.m.
Your perk: Sounder sleep. When melatonin is suppressed, it can disrupt your circadian rhythm.
Meditation may bring healthier habits—and superhot sex.
Mindfulness meditation, based in Buddhist tradition, may help you quit cigarettes by decreasing activity in a part of the brain that's linked to cravings, a study in Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience reports. And meditation could help you break other habits that may be putting you at risk for cancer, like binge drinking and eating fatty comfort foods, says Kevin Patterson, M.D., medical director for clinical behavioral medicine at Hillman Cancer Center in Pittsburgh. But wait—there's more. New research suggests that mindfulness meditation may increase telomerase, an enzyme that's vital to normal cell division, in the immune system. It's too early to know if this can reduce your cancer risk, but it's pretty clear that meditation has some nice benefits.
What to do: Start meditating! Find a quiet place, and set a timer for two minutes, says Marsha Lucas, Ph.D., a neuropsychologist in Washington, D.C. Close your eyes, and pay attention to your breath; continue until the timer sounds. Try adding a minute each day; work up to 10 to 20 minutes.
Your perk: Better sex. Mindfulness meditation could enhance the insula, a part of the brain linked to awareness. Regular meditation may make it easier to get aroused and even improve orgasms. What's not to love?

Dems celebrate West, Ryan foes
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Patrick Murphy showed up here this week as just another obscure conventioneer few could pick out of a lineup. Then union boss Richard Trumka introduced Murphy, a 29-year-old accountant, as the man challenging Rep. Allen West to a room of labor activists.
"The crowd went wild," Trumka said in an interview.
Story Continued Below
It's been that kind of week for the folks taking on the party's top villains in Congress, the Republicans the Democrats loathe the most.
Rob Zerban is practically an afterthought in Wisconsin as the guy with almost no chance of beating Rep. Paul Ryan. At the convention, demand for his time has been so high that a staffer traveling with him can barely keep up with all the requests for the businessman.
After he arrived in Charlotte on Monday, a group of liberal bloggers and activists invited Zerban, a Kenosha County supervisor, to share office space during his stay.
"You can't go anywhere where people don't know who Paul Ryan is," Zerban said. "Everywhere I go, 'Thank you' is the standard response I get."
Tammy Duckworth is getting A-list treatment, too. Though better known than Murphy or Zerban — she's an Iraq War veteran who lost both her legs in combat — it doesn't hurt that Duckworth is the Democrat gunning for Rep. Joe Walsh. The smash-mouth Republican congressman was once quoted as saying Obama was elected "because he pushed that magical button: a black man who was articulate, liberal, the whole white guilt, all of that."
For party activists, candidates like Murphy, Zerban and Duckworth have undeniable appeal: Two years after a tea party-led wave swept House Republicans into power, victories for any of them would provide some semblance of revenge.
Murphy and Duckworth, in particular, have won the hearts of Democrats nationwide. The candidates have emerged as two of the nation's most prolific fundraisers. Zerban, a heavy underdog, has struggled to raise cash. But he said he's seen an uptick in donations since Mitt Romney selected Ryan as his vice presidential candidate a month ago.
For Murphy, his week at the convention began with a dizzying series of lunches, briefings and get-togethers with activists.

The Greenpeace International activists appeared this morning before a court in Murmansk. Haussmann was one of the electricians on the Arctic Sunrise when it was seized last month by armed men from the Russian security forces. The ship's captain, American Peter Willcox, was also the captain of the Rainbow Warrior in 1985 when it was bombed by the French secret service, killing Greenpeace photographer Fernando Pereira. The third activist denied bail was Camila Speziale, who has joint Argentinian and Italian citizenship.
In court Hausmann requested that his file be updated to show that he is married and has a three-year-old child.
Commenting on the latest developments Peter Willcox's wife Maggie Willcox said: "Most people try to do at least something for the greater good, sometimes occasionally, sometimes for sustained periods. Rarely do people devote their entire life trying to make the world a better place. Peter is one of those rare people. He is a hero not a pirate. I appeal to the common sense and conscience of the Russian authorities to let my husband and the rest of the people from the Arctic Sunrise come home." Following the seizure of his ship last month, Willcox refused a demand made under armed guard by Russian authorities to sail the Arctic Sunrise toward the Russian port city of Murmansk. Instead the ship was towed. In a 1993 Hollywood film about the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior, the role of Pete Willcox was played by Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight - father of Angelina Jolie. Speaking in court today Camila Speziale, 21, from Argentina said today: "I'm innocent and I do not understand what I'm accused of. I don't have anything against your country. Russia and Argentina have good relations. But now I'm arrested for something I haven't done. I really want to come back to my country and continue working and studying. I'm considered to be dangerous for society, but how it can be so? The whole world is demanding my release. Gracias." Camila was wearing a t-shirt that her parents have sent her, on which are printed the hands and names of the Speziale family. In a letter published on Sunday, Swiss activist Marco Weber said although he was being held alone in a cell, and had little or no contact with the outside world, apart from weekly visits by his lawyer and the Swiss consul, he had no regrets. "I faced danger and the risk ending up in jail, because I am sure that WE have the power to make a change!" (Full letter in notes below) In a letter to his family, Kieron Bryan, 29, a freelance film-maker from London, said he was well, apart from the "horrible uncertainty and anxiety". In the letter, also published Sunday, he said: "The food is basic or grim but I'll not starve… Lack of communication has been really tough - I just hope my lawyer can get messages to you."
Today the Russian Presidential Human Rights Council is expected to submit an appeal to the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, Yuri Chaika, regarding the arrest of the 30. The head of the Human Rights Council Mikhail Fedotov stated last week that charges of piracy against the Greenpeace International crew, activists and two freelance journalists were groundless and unlawful. Now the other members of the Council have supported the initiative to appeal to the Prosecutor.
Phil Crawford, Greenpeace NZ Communications & Media, 021 22 99 594 Greenpeace International press desk: +31 20 718 24 70 or
Full letter from Marco Weber: Hello everyone! Out there ;-) Sorry my English is not very good, and my writing even worse! But I guess you will figure it out. I am now for about 12 days alone in a cell. I don't have books, newspaper, TV or someone to talk to. At the daily walk I am also isolated. The 4x5 metre "walkyard" is surrounded by concrete walls and covered with iron bars. On top is a roof, which doesn't allow the sunshine in. The only sky I can see is out of my cell window , which is placed in the northern wall of the building. This means no sun at all. Days are long! The highlights are weekly visits of my lawyer and consul. And yesterday I got the first bunch of email from the outside! Yehaa… The aggressive and unfair acting of the Russian government and Gazprom shows how important it is, that decisions about Arctic and its future are made by global public. And not by states and companies which are blinded by its resources and short term profits. At the 18 September I faced danger and the risk ending up in jail, because I am sure that WE have the power to make a change! WE the massive amount of people worldwide which are brave and concerned enough to fight for a future to coming generations. Because we see the dependency of our future existing to the acting now.
Let's save the Arctic and with it also the chance of future for mankind. Your support and the knowledge that we have done the right thing keeps me above water. Thank you very much for your kind words, love and care you give to me. You are incredibly important! Marco Weber CAN BE USED, IF IT'S ANY USEFUL Don't be worried about me! (for now)

BLM drops controversial North Fork Valley parcels from lease sale
Written byMIKE WIGGINS, Daily Sentinel
The Bureau of Land Management announced this morning it will remove from its February oil and gas lease sale 20,000 acres in the North Fork Valley in response to protests and criticism from residents.
The BLM received nearly 200 protests from ranchers, wineries, real estate professionals, Colorado Parks and Wildlife and others that listing 20 parcels totaling 20,555 acres could harm the valley's economy and wildlife. A Delta County citizens' group, Citizens for a Healthy Community, threatened to sue if the BLM didn't defer the leasing.
"We've listened to concerns raised in numerous comments and public meetings and we are responding by deferring the North Fork Valley parcels at this time," Helen Hankins, director of the BLM's Colorado office, said in a statement. "We are addressing the deferred parcels through continued dialogue with the local community and with ongoing planning efforts in the Uncompahgre Field Office."
The BLM will proceed with offering 151 parcels totaling 88,578 acres at its Feb. 14 lease sale.VIEW ORIGINAL ARTICLE

Despite saying in August that copies of Star Wars: The Old Republic would be rationed at launch, no one should worry that they won't be able to find a copy of the game, a top Electronic Arts executive told investors.
"We don't feel like we're going to be leaving too much demand behind at launch," said Frank Gibeau, president of EA Labels, according to MCV, "but we definitely are going to be very cautious and thoughtful about how many people we bring on and in what order."
Earlier, rumor had it that pre-orders of the MMO would be capped at 500,000, with only the first 50,000 of them guaranteed, the rest queued in a prioritized waiting list.
Gibeau said the rationing is necessary to ensure the online experience runs smoothly at launch. "We're using our beta test to inform us of what scale that we can handle," he said. "Our pre-order campaign is tailored towards how we're going to do that."
Let's hope it goes better than Battlefield 3's online services at launch.

MCIG's CEO INVESTS $500,000 INTO OBITX, INC.
December 7, 2017
Updates Shareholders on Latest Developments
Las Vegas, NV– (Marketwired – December 7, 2017) –
mCig, Inc.
), a diversified company servicing the legal cannabis markets, announced today that the company's CEO has agreed to invest more than $500,000 into OBITX, Inc., formerly known as GigeTech, Inc., a majority owned subsidiary of MCIG. The funds will be used by the company to purchase the first of its kind, state of the art cryptocurrency ATMs. OBITX will utilize the machines to also service cannabis companies by helping to build a bridge between the "cash" business of cannabis and mainstream finance through cryptocurrency. The ATMs are the first of its kind and will support most forms of cryptocurrency, whichever are on its exchange, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. They will enable dispensing of cash and transfer of funds
as well as the purchase and selling of cryptocurrency and personal debit cards from the machine. The machines feature two screens, one for transactions, and the other as a billboard for content distribution and advertising. The second screen is integrated with our proprietary ad platform
, developed by mCIG team. The company has already placed its first order of 125 crypto ATM's with scheduled delivery in January 2018. The technology has been tested over the last few years and will be ready to go upon delivery. From the projected 100K units that will be manufactured and distributed with the eHesive ad network running on them, OBITX will have 10,000 of the crypto ATM's installed in both dispensaries and mainstream locations over over the next few years. "The space we are entering may be new to our shareholders, but it is a growing and lucrative sector. Integration with cryptocurrency has been planned since the day we acquired our software and technology division. Many tech and finance projects that were developed within the last 8 months have been built to integrate into and transform the experience of technology and transactions in this new company", stated Paul Rosenberg, CEO of mCig, Inc. "I am very comfortable in the management team of OBITX to deliver great results, that why I decided to help the company and invested my personal funds", continued Paul Rosenberg.OBITX will be an exclusive distributor of crypto ATM for the entire cannabis market. Cryptocurrency will not only help solve regulation, banking and payment processing issues currently troubling the marijuana industry, it is already making its way in widespread adoption in other industries as well. "Let me also update our shareholders on other developments," continued Paul Rosenberg."We are a few days away, from finishing our audit of OBITX. We are extremely pleased with the business model of OBITX and as soon as audit is complete, we'll file our Form S-1 with SEC to spin-off OBITX. Now, let's talk about mCig, Inc. overall strategy.
Render Payment
concluded its ICO on December 4, 2017 and is expected to be registered on an exchange platform in January 2018. MCIG will work with Render Payment as it continues to expand its high risk merchant service cryptocurrency platform. As we discussed in early press releases, the goal is to be focused on cultivation, extraction and distribution of cannabis / hemp related products. We are waiting for the approval of our license application in California City, that will allow us to manufacture different cannabis products. We struck a huge deal with
Farm On! Foundation
, currently run by extraordinary business woman, Tessa Edick, who accepted the position of CEO of
, Inc., 100% owned subsidiary of mCig, Inc. We will be one of the very few companies to grow Industrial Hemp in the New York area. We are looking for other opportunities to grow cannabis in other states, but, we are very careful how we proceed, since the price tag to some projects are high and we need to find balance to be profitable. Our construction division was completely restructured. This took place during our second quarter, as management found that the results of the operation could be improved significantly. Construction projects are back on track, however management is now very selective with projects and who to be involved with. We are here to make smart deals and make money. Our next big construction project will be in California, where we will obtain ownership rights as well. The company as you know, has an interest in 2 public companies. Omni Health, (10% owned by MCIG) is making great progress with its FDA medical devices registration of CBD for topical pain analgesic and development of non-prescription CBD analgesic creams and ointments with fast absorption properties. They are making smart moves as a newly restructured biotech company and have an exceptionally strong team. Stony Hill, our partner in VITACBD brand, is a long term investment for the company and continues to also be a profitable venture. mCig, Inc. has recently updated the look of its website
and will continue to make enhancements and provide updates to shareholders on social media. Finally, I want to thank our shareholders for their patience and for their suggestions. We are here for you and are working continuously and aggressively to grow mCig, Inc. and its businesses", concluded Paul Rosenberg.

Great vocal talents and imaginative theater choices lead you into the woods of an atypical fairy tale
As you enter Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre, take note of the Into the Woods set, designed by show director and choreographer Darnell Morris. The woods are beautifully painted in soft pastels with large trees on each side of the stage, evoking a pastoral Monet sensibility. Appreciate the beauty while you can because, as advertised, "this is not your typical fairy tale," and with Alex Doan's lighting, the stage becomes dark and ominous very quickly.
Into the Woods is a complex Stephen Sondheim musical, layering messages about parenting onto well-known fairy tales and challenging musical numbers. Director Morris improves the original with change done first at Regent Park's Open Air Theatre: The adult narrator is replaced by a young boy who has run into the woods to escape arguing parents.
In the woods, he meets a Baker and his Wife who can't have a child. Jack (of Beanstalk fame), a Witch, Cinderella, Little Red Ridinghood, Rapunzel and a duo of Princes make a grand mash-up of well-known fairy tales. The consequences of wishes and dreams — as well of curses and nightmares — are the theme. The song "Children Will Listen" explains Into the Woods: Into the woods you have to grope/ but that's the way you learn to cope/ into the woods to find there's hope/ of getting through the journey.
A strong cast of 18 — all having a grand time — bring the journey to life. Deserving special mention is Morris' amazing choreography that fills the small stage with the cast. All the characters have unique steps, yet group dance patterns ebb and flow seamlessly.
Scott Gaines as the Baker, Malinda Markland as the Baker's Wife, Katrina Ellen Sillaman as the Witch, Harrison Smith as Jack and Lauren Winther-Hansen as Little Red Ridinghood are the leads. Vocally and characteristically, this quintet is well suited for the roles. Each is a strong singer and focused actor. When they blend musically, it is transporting. Sillaman has a strong first act. Smith and Winther-Hansen are a triple threat of dancing, singing and acting. Markland's character believably goes from silly housewife to self-possessed woman.
On a lighter note, the two Princes — Kelston Thomas as Rapunzel's prince and Alex Xourias as Cinderella's — are priceless as overblown, stage-posing narcissists. (Explaining his wandering eye, Cinderella's Prince tells her that he was bred only to be charming, not sincere.) Thomas also takes great delight in making a smarmy, deliciously malicious Wolf.
Sarah Treanor as Cinderella and Carol Ann Drescher as Rapunzel use powerful voices to strengthen the production.
All the fairy tales come to life around Andrew Sharpe, whose young narrator is the central focus. He seems a bit bewildered by all the comings and goings around him, but isn't that the way of a child?
Costumes by Linda Swann are a technical amazement, both folksy appropriate and startlingly fresh. Swann makes an amazing range of taffeta tartans look good in combinations that just should be horrid.
How music director Trent Goldsmith was able to conduct the orchestra and remain in sync, hidden behind the stage is another bit of theatrical magic.
With this joyful and thoughtful production, Annapolis Summer Garden Theater's 47th season ends on an elegant note.

Lauren and Andrew Silverman have spoken.
Andrew, whose soon-to-be ex-wife is pregnant with Simon Cowell's baby, struck first Thursday, telling People in a statement, "My top priority is protecting my 7-year-old son while working to resolve all outstanding issues with my wife.
"Hopefully people can respect the interest of our child during this process."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
PHOTOS: Simon on vacation with Lauren and Andrew in 2012
Lauren (and her burgeoning baby bump) was photographed with their son earlier today in Bridgehampton, N.Y., where the family has a home.
Her attorneys issued the following statement on her behalf late Thursday to Us Weekly: "I am committed to sorting things out with Andrew as amicably as possible to ensure the well-being of our son. I would hope for some space and privacy in order to work through this."
Added her lawyers: "We are working to resolve this situation in a fair and reasonable way that protects the best interests of our client and her son."
Andrew filed for divorce two weeks ago in New York, reportedly naming Cowell as a co-respondent along with his wife and citing adultery as a cause of their marriage breaking down.
He broke his silence just as Cowell was reluctantly doing the same over in Los Angeles during Fox's "X-Factor" panel at the Television Critics Association press tour. And even while deflecting a question, the Brit couldn't help but crack a little joke.
PHOTOS: Star sightings at the 2013 summer TV press tour
"I haven't read the newspapers. Am I missing something?" Cowell drawled after being congratulated by a reporter, who also asked whether the longtime bachelor was as surprised by the baby news as everybody else.
"Sorry. Unfortunately, I have to keep this private for the moment. It's just one of those things, but thank you anyway."
E! News has been told that the TV producer and record mogul's camp is considering Monday or Tuesday for a possible press conference to address the topic.

The Akamas Peninsula is one of the last remaining natural areas on the island and is protected by UNESCO. You can swim, cycle, walk and explore this beautiful area of the island and not be disturbed. It is the most westerly point of the island, covering approximately 230 square km and is where you will find a wild untouched landscape, amazing natural beauty, deep gorges, stunning sandy bays and of course many hundreds of plant and bird species, mammals and reptiles. During spring the area is ablaze with flowers and the scent of anemones, orchids and jasmine are heavy in the air.

An article by New Hampshire Historian J. Dennis Robinson
Oh my...thanks for sharing. These types of stories don't make it to the midwest too often. Wondering why not a movie. Has all the makings and it's all true!ReplyDelete
There was a movie called "Northwest Passage" back in 1940. It was rather anti-Indian, and I believe the real Rangers were friendlier with the Native Americans and not only used their tactics, but worked side by side with them on the frontiers of New England.Delete
The movie You mention Heather, is based on part 1 of Kenneth Roberts book of the same name. He wrote historical novels in which the characters are partly fictional but the facts of the actions are accurate. The book is much better than the movie. Rogers rules of ranging are still used by todays warriors. The action in the movies is based on their raid to the St. Francis Indian village in Canada which was in retribution for frontier attacks on the settlers. Some say it put an end to the Abenaki raids. The same tactic was used in a raid at Norridgewok (Maine). That is an interesting story too.ReplyDelete
Rogers sounds like a very interesting character, a product of pre-Revolution days who then found himself in the middle of a Revolution and perhaps on the wrong side -- but he was brave and followed his own star. He must have had amazing wilderness skills. What a personality. In the South we have the legend of The Swamp Fox," Francis Marion, who was also a daring maverick.ReplyDelete
Mariann, I remember "The Swamp Fox" Francis Marion from my high school AP American History Class. In local re-enactments, especially at the Fort at No. 4 in Charlestown, New Hampshire, it looks like it is more fun to play one of the members of Roger's Rangers in their buckskin clothes than it is to play a regular militia member. I suppose it would be more fun to re-enact Francis Marion or Daniel Boone, too.Delete
