Killer Joe
by John Stoltenberg
(This review was written for DCMetroTheaterArts and is reprinted here.)
Audiences with a taste for pitch-dark comedy will get their fill of a deliciously unsettling feast in Killer Joe, the launch production of the aptly named new theater company SeeNoSun. Killer Joe has a pedigree as the first play written by Tracy Letts, he whose penchant for disturbing dramas of family dysfunction powered his Pulizer Prize–winning August: Osage County. Killer Joe epitomizes that time-honored genre where horror and hilarity converge. As adroitly directed by Michael Wright and played to the hilt by a cracker-jack cast, Killer Joe generates shocked gasps and guffaws in equal measure with the greatest of unease.
I enjoyed its enormity enormously. The word enormity (when used with etymological precision to mean outrageous immorality) accurately sums up Killer Joe's twisted story line and (four of its five) characters. All of which makes Killer Joe fascinating, horrifying, and comic all at once.
The play is set in Dallas and takes place inside a trailer, the sort referred to in the slur white trailer trash. True to that epithet, this place is home to the oafish big bubba Ansel Smith (William Aitken); his scheming second wife Sharla (Mallory Shear); and the sweet but dim Dottie (Jennifer Osborn), his twenty-something daughter by his first wife. The action jump-starts when Dottie's older brother, the desperately deluded Chris (Matthew Marcus)—who lives with their mother, Adele—barges in with a cockamamie plan to hire a killer to do in Adele in order to collect on her life insurance policy.
These unhinged down-and-outs all have a moral screw loose, and Letts never lets us forget it, even as he tickles us with their turpitude. Thus we're thrust into that discombobulatingly amusing and bizarro zone that writers like Joe Orton and Martin McDonagh have honed on stage: outrageous amorality with a master playwright's crafty moral frame all around it. Add to that a quirky sense of humor, and the experience of watching such a play is like the guilty pleasure of rubbernecking at a crash on the highway, except the wreck is a clown car from which funny jokesters keep popping.
The grotesque jesting escalates when Joe Cooper (Sun King Davis) shows up—a detective on the police force who moonlights as a contract killer. He refuses Chris's offer to wait to be paid after Adele is dead. Instead he requires a retainer up front against his cut of the payout—namely sexual access to the virgin Dottie, whom he swiftly beds.
Chris—who, feckless as he is, cares deeply about his sister—is now caught in a moral quandary. "Nothing's worse than regret," he says. "Not cancer, not being eaten by a shark, nothing."
The on-point acting is thrilling to watch up close in the DC Arts Center black box, and the entire cast is excellent: Aitken's lumpish Ansel, Marcus's wired Chris, Shear's double-dealing Sharia, Davis's suave and scarey Killer Joe. But Jennifer Osborn stands out. I doubt Killer Joe would work as a play without a performance in the role of Dottie as nuanced and centered, as gritty and guileless, as Osborn's. With effortlessness and simplicity, she captures the center of attention every moment she's on stage. Alone among the miscreant misfits in Letts' cast of characters, Dottie is a locus of innocence—and Osborn keeps her in focus throughout the fracas till her stunning comeuppance at the end.
Osborn, doubling as Costume Designer, has picked out spot-on clothes; Lighting Designer Brian Allard gives visual jolts to the story; and the uncredited Sound Designer alarms with a vicious barking dog. The first row of seats goes unused, in order to accommodate the Smiths' living room and working kitchen, so the space is even more intimate that usual. One can almost reach out and taste Food Wrangler Diane Freeman's credible edibles.
Letts's script is intense and tightly wound, rigged with jaw-dropping shocks, and plays like blazes in this small space. Letts's screenplay for William Friedkin's film version (starring Matthew McConaughey as Killer Joe) closely follows the playscript, as I learned reading it after seeing SeeNoSun's terrifically taut staging. But I approached the show knowing no more of the plot than what I've just reported, and the unfolding story had me on the edge of my seat with tense anticipation. Though I'm glad I knew no more, I feel obliged to alert sensitive theatergoers that there is a troubling scene near the end—as was widely reported when the movie came out—when Killer Joe enacts his rage at Sharla's deception in a forced simulated sex act. For a few moments there, the stage action is intentionally appalling, and Letts sends in no clowns.
SeeNoSun's candor about such scenes is evident in its mission "to create a compelling theatrical experience that expands an understanding of the human condition by bringing provocative plays to life that explore the human monster and the unspeakable acts they commit." Killer Joe is definitely on that message. And it's a powerful knockout of a show.
Running time: 90 minutes, with no intermission.
Killer Joe plays through June 29, 2014, at the DC Arts Center – 2438 18th Street, NW, in Adams Morgan, in Washington, DC. Tickets can be purchased online.

Nostalgic '90s pop fans, rejoice! 5ive's long-awaited comeback has arrived - and they've got a new recruit, too.
Well, kind of...
OK, so it's not The Big Reunion phase two, but the 5ive boys really are back, with Paddy McGuinness in tow, for Take Me Out: Celebrity Special.
Ritchie Neville will be heading down the legendary Love Lift - to his own song, no less - as Paddy hopes to introduce him to a potential new partner.
And who better to support Ritchie in his endeavour than his former bandmates? (And what better to woo the ladies with than an impromptu performance?)
Chatting to Paddy about his romantic hopes and dreams, Ritchie admitted that all he was looking for in a woman was "a good heart". Bless him.
"I wouldn't say I have a type, personality is the most important thing," he told Paddy. "Looks are only skin deep, it's more important they've got a good heart and they're a good egg."
Also joining Ritchie in the quest for love is The Xtra Factor's Roman Kemp and rugby international Thom Evans, who now has "a new-found respect for guys facing that dreaded lift".
Related: Paddy McGuinness wants Olly Murs to be on Take Me Out
"As a fan of the show and having worked with Paddy briefly before, it was a pleasure to be invited onto the show for the Celebrity Special," Thom said.
Will the ladies keep their lights on for Ritchie and co? Find out tomorrow (December 31) when Take Me Out: Celebrity Special airs at 8pm on ITV.

Blake Lively has just debuted a jet black pixie haircut!
- Publish Date
- Wednesday, 17 January 2018, 12:31PM
When you think of luscious long blonde hair, you think of Blake Lively.
But the former 'Gossip Girl' star has gone to the dark side for her latest film, swapping her golden locks for a dark pixie cut - and we honestly didn't recognise her at first!
Posting a video of her dramatic makeover on Instagram, Blake caption the image #TheRhythmSectionMovie.
And while this is not the first time we've seen the 30-year-old with a different hairstyle for the role; reports are saying Blake's new cropped look isn't just a temporary change.
Blake was photographed by paparazzi while on location in New York over the weekend wearing a long curly red wig.
As the actress removed the wig, she revealed the short, dark bob underneath, which has led fans to believe she's dyed her hair for real.
In the spy thriller - which is said to be released in 2019 - the mother-of-two plays a woman who seeks revenge against those who orchestrated a plane crash that kills her family.
Blake also recently came under controversy when she shared a 'make up free' selfie, which you can read about here.

Porsche has continued to tease its electric future.
Still yet to be officially unveiled, the German brand has released teaser images of its first electrified car.
The Taycan, due for delivery in Australia by mid-2020, will be the German car maker's first electric car and is set to be followed by a line-up of other battery powered Porsche models by 2022.
Former grand prix winner Mark Webber has been involved in the development of Taycan, taking on an important role with the road car project since he stopped racing the Porsche 919 Hybrid Le Mans prototype.
Webber believes the Taycan will not only live up to Porsche's reputation for building high-performance cars, but will make petrol-powered cars feel like 'dinosaurs'.
"Obviously it's heavier because that's how all electric vehicles are," Webber explained. "So the dynamics are different, it's a heavier platform to drive; we'll still be class-leading in terms of weight. But when it comes to the torque, four-wheel drive, 600-horsepower, the amount of power it has is insane," he says.
"The biggest thing is the traction, the drive out of corners, which we've done a lot of work on the distribution of front and rear-wheel drive - the amount of stuff you can play with is actually phenomenal compared to a dinosaur combustion layout. I'm used to that with the 919 - we had the combustion engine [on the rear axle] and the e-motor in the front and we could play with the distribution, so I've got a lot of experience with that."
But until the Taycan is officially unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show in September, we'll have to make do with these camouflaged teaser pics.
From what we can see, the Taycan will get quad LED headlights, similar to the ones found on the new 911 — and the taillights appear similar too, running in a thin line that crosses into the boot without meeting in the middle.
It also has silver air vents on the sides where the front guards end — maybe for visual appeal, given it's all electric.
Official specifications are still yet to be announced, but Drive has previously been told variants with 300kW, 350kW, 400kW and 450kW are being developed with higher-powered models set to be use the Turbo badge een though it does not feature turbo charging.
Unfortunate name in Australia the tincan.

Baby Shower Help!
Monday, April 12, 2010
4 comments:
I threw a shower for my best friend not too long ago and we played twoish games.ReplyDelete
First game: Guess the circumference of the pregnant lady. We measured her, it worked really well. Plus it was low-maintenance.
Second game: We put a bunch of hershey kisses in one of those giant bank/bottle things. Then we had people guess how many kisses.
Oh the thirdish (sorta game) was that we had the momma-to-be pick the prettiest wrapped gift. That person got a prize too.
For prizes we just gave candles. Except for the hershey kiss in bottle game, that was their prize.
Good luck throwing the shower!
1. One that is fun is called something like 'never say baby'...everyone gets a piece of yarn/string whatever with a baby safety pin on it (or a regular pin is fine too)...tell everyone at the beginning that whenever someone says the word "baby" during the shower, any woman who calls it out gets a pin from the other woman who stated the word. At the end of the baby shower, the woman with the most pins wins a prize.ReplyDelete
Easy and doesn't require much planning.
2. Another fun one is name that tune...it does require some planning but...
make a mix cd of songs that have baby or babe in the title...15 songs is good-burn to a cd
At the party give everyone pen and paper and play part of each song (about 5 sec) and guests need to write the title and artist. The guest with the most correct wins (itunes card is a good prize for this one) You could even give everyone a copy of the mix cd if you're feeling ambitious.
3. The tray game...kind of like what you played at birthday parties as a kid. Put about 20 small baby items on a tray. Let everyone have a quick look then cover/remove and guests try to remember everything on the tray.
I haven't thrown a shower personally, but I think guessing the exact day, weight, and time is kinda fun! Then the ribbon to see how big momma is!ReplyDelete
We recently played this one for a co-worker...Pin the Binky (Pacifier) on the Baby. Exactly like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, only with a baby poster instead of the donkey. It was fun!ReplyDelete
Thank you all so much for your comments! I'm only happy when I have comments. Really. You are contributing to my future happiness right now! XOXO

|#82 on the Rolling Stone list of great album covers.
Two cover designs by the human pop art factory Andy Warhol made the top ten: Sticky Fingers (The Stones, #4 here and #22 on Billboard) and Velvet Underground & Nico album with the peel off banana (#10 at Rolling Stone and #1 on Billboard's list).
"Great" when it comes to album cover design, is evidently a matter of opinion and taste, unlike baseball where you know exactly and precisely how many batters touched all the bases and crossed the plate. Or soccer, where you can count exactly how many times the announcer shouted, G-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-A-L-L-L-L-L.
I half wondered whether Dylan's Blonde On Blonde would make either list because it was the first rock double album. It did not. Strangely enough, his Self Portrait album cover did make the Billboard list.
Sharp was significant enough to earn an obituary in the New York Times, an acknowledgement that you were a "someboady" at some point in your lifetime. The article called him "an artist who spaed the imagery of rock." As with many things in life, it helps to be in the right place at the right time.
The artist arrived in London in 1966, just as psychedelia and the hippie movement were coming to a boil. The British Invasion, which began two years earlier, was developing an identity and Sharp was helping shape it. Check out the clothing these rock stars were decked out, and as much as the Paris runway defines women's clothing styles, so did rock heroes shape the clothing styles of many Sixties teens.
Cream was one of my own fave supergroups of that time. I had all their albums, giving Disraeli Gears much playtime. I'd not realized that Martin Sharp wrote the lyrics for "Tales of Brave Ulysses"-- a psychedelic Odyssey -- until I read that Times obituary.
|Some great live Cream on sides 3 & 4
By 1970 he returned to his homeland where he spent another 40 years making art, posters, designing a publication called OZ, and pushing boundaries, occasionally a bit too far.
As a young artist myself I often wondered during that time whether the manner in which the lettering on a lot of psychedelic art was the result of psychedelics, or simply the emulation of influencers like Sharp, or the San Francisco underground scene of that era. (R. Crumb's Zap Comix, for example.)
Well, enough of this trip down memory lane. Better start my day.

The Scout Sportfish had to come a long way from where it was originally built to sit on the placid waters of Jacobs Well in southeast Queensland.
From Summerville, South Carolina, USA this fine looking fiberglass centre console craft is one of 23 models ranging from 14' to 35' in the Scout line up.
As it sat gently at rest, the glass hand-laid hull of the 175 Sportfish certainly had a business like look about it. The craft's level attitude was not disturbed at all as Trevor Rowe of Karee Marine and his offsider walked around sorting various items out prior to our test runs in Jumpinpin.
This boat is a very solidly made craft with plenty of fishing orientated features and a flawless finish throughout. The 13º deadrise hull, with its reversed outer water line chine, planes easily, rides well and is remarkably stable. The package also comes with a lot of confidence inspiring features for Australian owners.
There's a foam filled 100% unsinkable hull, totally timber free hull construction, ten year transferable hull warranty and three year stem to stern limited warranty, heat shrunk electronic connections, and tin wiring throughout to avoid corrosion. Aft there's an integrated swim platform without bolt-on sections plus a fully integrated pressure tested fuel system.
The 175 Sportfish is the largest of three craft in this series and is a useful size for up to four or five anglers to enjoy time in.
Storage is a priority in this craft, as is the case with other similar US made boats. Within the bow there is a 100L plus storage area behind the big, locking, anchor well. This space can also double as a fish box, thanks to plenty of insulation around it.
The height of the bow fishing platform was around 30cm, which is ample for an angler or two to enjoy time up front casting lures, flies, or plastics. The area is entirely open with no snaggy items to obstruct tackle, tender toes, or tangle fly line.
Stepping down into the self-draining, non-skid finished cockpit there is plenty of room to fish either side of the large centre consol. The console is neat and functional with its padded ice box seat up front, grab rail and windscreen up top.
Rod storage is via an upright rack set to the right of the console. There is a generous amount of fishing space in the cockpit area, thanks to rear seating consisting of paired quarter seats, which take up little room behind the well-padded, full width bench seat for skipper and mate.
While the console is large enough to offer space for a full sized dash area and glove box, the Scout's beam of 2.3m also allows plenty of room to move around the side of the console unit. There is enough space for an angler to fight a big fish around the boat unhindered. The internal storage space in the centre console can be accessed via a side door to starboard.
The console in the 175 Sportfish features major instruments, switches and such to left, with the five-spoke steering wheel linked to non-feedback steering. The ignition key is in the centre of the dash, with forward controls for the outboard and a glovebox to the right within reach of the skipper.
Navigational aids on the test craft included a pair of Humminbird units: a 798D GPS to port and a 788D sounder to starboard. The Mercury gauges and switches, which include resettable circuit breakers, are neatly fitted within a timber-look insert, resplendent with the Scout logo.
The neat bimini tucked within a sock above the helm area will be very useful for our summer climate. The bimini framework is study and rigid enough to serve as a handhold in rough weather.
Strangely, the Scout lacks side pockets, something we take for granted in most craft plying our waters. But there are rod holders on board; two per side adoring each aft quarter.
Also of note is the folding jump seat to port that can be raised (a gas strut will keep it open) to allow access to the plumbed live well under the base.
Stern features consist of a full height transom and a boarding platform with grab rail and folding ladder set to port.
As we put the craft through its paces it was immediately apparent that the Scout 175 Sportfish had a very slippery hull. With engine ratings from 90-115hp the 90 Mercury EFI four-stroke was a minimum power choice but a very good one just the same.
The Scout's hull rose to the plane at just 2,600rmp and 17.6km/h, thanks to its deep fore foot, massive moulded strakes and relatively shallow 13º Vee. At 3,000rpm the GPS measured 24.7km/h, 4,000rpm at 43.1km/h and 5,000rpm at 48.8km/h. With such respectable performance, I think a larger motor might only be required should an owner regularly plan to have four or five people aboard.
As can be expected from a manufacturer that has been in the industry since 1989, the Scout's hull delivered a very soft ride. Aided by very pronounced moulded strakes and clever design characteristics, the high but fine bow entry section of the craft kicked through wash with little perceived impact. The dry hull weight of 572kg also added to the ride quality.
Handling was impressive as well. It was very hard to put the 175 Sportfish off course despite the sharp turns and quick directional changes.
The graduated sheer line of the craft, which sees an increase in gunwale height from around the middle of the craft to the front, also ensures occupants will stay dry in most conditions.
At rest stability left nothing to be desired either, thanks to the grip of the massive strakes incorporated within the Scout's under water lines.
The Scout 175 Sportfish could double as a very useful bay and estuary craft, with the ability to also take a run offshore in suitable conditions.
Although the cockpit area is a tad lower than the bow, (cockpit freeboard is 60cm, the bow is 70cm high,) which sees the bow as a bulwark against sea entry, the overall design does ensure a standard of sea keeping ability that offers a multitude of uses.
The totally uncluttered interior layout would allow several anglers to work simultaneously without much effort under most conditions. With the excellent ride and inherent stability of the craft, I've given the Scout some big ticks as a serious all round fishing craft.
The 175 Explorer was well suited to the Oceanic trailer supplied and there were no issues with either driving the craft back on or simply using the winch to retrieve it.
The excellent hull design and interior layout sees the Scout as a useful fishing craft for either casual or quite serious anglers.
The craft's ride, handling and overall stability are up there with the best of centre console style boats of this size whether locally made or imported.
The finish throughout was very good with an overall emphasis on comfort and buyers can be reassured with the warranty offered by this long established manufacturer. The rig as reviewed is $49,000.
The rig reviewed was supplied by Karee Marine of Rocklea, Brisbane, for more information phone them on (07) 38751600, fax 07 38751622 or email --e-mail address hidden--

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (CBS4) – Friends and family on Saturday remembered a Colorado hero who had been missing for more than 60 years.
Sgt. Floyd Jackson from Littleton was just 19 when he served on the front lines during the Korean War. He died in a prison camp after being captured by enemy forces. His family had tried for years to locate his body, and had almost given up hope.
Finally, in January, his remains were identified.
On Thursday his family traveled to Denver International Airport to receive his coffin. Saturday morning Jackson was laid to rest with full military honors next to his mother at Olinger Chapel Hill Cemetery in Centennial.
RELATED: 65 Years After Going Missing, Soldier's Remains Returned To Colorado |
Jackson's niece, Joann Mueller, says she never thought this day would come.
"This is such a miracle that he's home … we're going to celebrate," Mueller said.
Jackson was captured in December of 1950. A few weeks later he died in a prison camp where conditions were horrible and diseases were common. The location of his remains had been a mystery for six decades.
Recently Korea turned over more unidentified remains. In January, Army forensics experts, using DNA from Jackson's family members, finally identified the missing sergeant.
"He's finally here, and right where he is supposed to be," Mueller said.
A horse-drawn carriage brought Jackson to his final resting place. Patriot Guards, Boy Scouts, and former military members paid their respects.
As veterans saluted the return of an American hero, Jackson's family had a message for the young man who gave his life for his country long ago on a battlefield far from home.
"I love you very much. I'm so glad you're home," Mueller said.

Moscow, Russia in winter and spring time
Streets, covered with melting snow; people, hurrying with their business; street, cleaning from ice; whistling wet traffic; quiet and loud residential neighborhoods; children playing in the snow; windy parks; cold nights and, then, saving spring; water, dropping from the roofs; singing birds and babbling brooks.
How to convey these things without violating their nature?
One of the ways is a stealth binaural recording using miniature microphones DPA 4060. It gave the sense of naturalness and created a presence effect, that you wouldn't find in any other library about Russia.

Deputy NSA Brennan Okay with Founded Fear-Mongering
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In another USA Today oped, Deputy National Security Advisor John Brennan stated it was perfectly acceptable for Americans to engage in fear-mongering founded on a rational basis. "Let's say you're sitting on an aircraft and the passenger next to you is wearing smoking underpants. At that point, the government would have no objections to you mongering your fear." Brennan, whose full title is Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, and who carries business cards the size of legal pads, also signed-off on any encounter with extremely large terrorists. "Terrorists aren't 100-feet tall. However, if you were to meet a terrorist, say, 9 feet tall or larger, it would be perfectly acceptable to fear-monger." Brennan stated fear-mongering would be unacceptable if it involved worry or criticism of a government obsessed with returning to the criminal justice approach to terrorism that worked so well in the 90s. "Dissent is patriotic," said Brennan, "but there are limits. We'll tell you what they are. In fact, we'll write them on your hand. Ha, ha, ha, do you get that? Robert Gibbs is soooo funny."

AceShowbiz - Is there trouble in paradise in Faith Evans and Stevie J's marriage? Shortly before their first wedding anniversary, the lovebirds have sparked split rumors after fans caught them unfollowing each other on social media. In addition to that, the DJ and record producer shared a series of cryptic messages on Twitter.
"All that glitters ain't gold. Ones insecurities can damage them," he wrote on the micro-blogging site, adding in another tweet, "Drunk people always speak the truth." Faith herself has also shared her own cryptic post by uploading on Instagram a quote from Albert Einstein that read, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
This arrives following the latest episode of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta", which showed Stevie's fight with his baby mama Mimi Faust. In the episode, Mimi's girlfriend Ty claimed that Stevie had been continuously taunting her and their relationship via social media. He even told Ty that she should consider adopting his daughter with Mimi. The latter then confronted Stevie in a recording studio, where they attempted to have a mature, adult conversation.
However, things quickly went south as Mimi began growing annoyed with Stevie's antics and got physical with him. This prompted Stevie to leave the room. Later, Mimi said how she was convinced that Stevie is just jealous over her relationship with Ty, although he's already married to Faith.
If the "I'll Be Missing You" singer watched the episode, this certainly wouldn't be good for their marriage.
Faith and Stevie got married in Las Vegas on July 17, 2018. This is the songstress' third marriage. She was previously married to Notorious B.I.G., who passed away in March 1997, before tying the knot with record company executive Todd Russaw in 1998. The pair officially divorced in December 2005, after Faith filed the papers in May 2011. Meanwhile, Stevie has never been married before.

To be a writer is to take risks. This is because there is really no way of knowing whether you will succeed or not. There are a multitude of books coming out of the woodwork every day. So if you want to make an impact with your readers, you will need to take some risks as a writer.
But that does not mean that you should go through the process blindly. The trick to truly gaining success as a writer is to find the right balance between being careful and being too reckless. In short, you will need to make some calculated risks.
Here are some great tips on how to take risks as a writer:
- Don't be afraid to write about sensitive subjects
Being a true writer means that you have the ability to write about anything. This is why you should never be afraid to tackle sensitive issues such as race, sexuality, eating disorders, etc. Just remember though that you will be walking on tricky and dangerous territory.
And one careless phrase or unsupported fact could mean a lot of trouble for you. But it always pays to be able to write about sensitive subjects, especially recent ones because it makes your content more compelling.
So before you even think of writing about sensitive subjects, it is important that you make sure all your statements have facts backing them, and that you tread carefully during the writing process.
- Stay away from trends and clichés
It always pays to be as courageous as possible if you are a writer. Truly, the great writers of the past did not gain their fame or fortune by being too timid and staying with what's safe or conventional. In truth, these authors gained their fame by forging ahead and breaking new ground on the writing scene.
So it is imperative that you stay away from trends or clichés. Instead, you should try to take risks with your stories. Try to shake things up or make new and mind boggling concepts and perceptions that will totally intrigue your readers.
Remember that the main reason people read books is that they want to be entertained, captivated, educated and surprised all at the same time. So if you are a writer, don't veer away from the challenge. Meet it head on and create truly great work.
- Never constrain yourself to just one genre
If you are really serious about being a writer, then you should know that writing risks are a must. This is because you will never make an impact with readers if you don't take any risks. One such creative risk is writing in multiple genres.
It is risky, because genres are quite varied and you may spread yourself too thin. But this is only if you are thinking of writing a book. But if you just want to practice your writing skills it always pays to dabble in other genres every once in a while. This is because it allows you to experiment and expand your skills as a writer.
- Stay focused on your goal
Although it is ok to take risks as a writer every once in a while, at the end of the day it is your focus on your goal that will determine your success. So although it is a good thing that you are adventurous enough to take risks as a writer, you should also have the foresight to see if you are taking too many risks.
You should have the clarity of purpose to stay focused on your goal as a writer. Whether it is to write a book, perfect your writing skills, etc. It is all up to you. Just as long as you stay consistent in trying to reach your goal.
In truth the most difficult part of writing is staying focused, no matter how boring or monotonous the writing process may get.

Sneezing, stuffy nose, sore throat—classic cold, right? It's possible, but it could also be the flu.
Symptoms of a cold are similar enough the flu to make diagnosis difficult. And considering both illnesses are more common during the fast-approaching winter, there's no better time to brush up on the differences.
Is It a Cold?
The common cold, medically referred to as a viral upper respiratory tract infection, can be caused by more than 200 different viruses. Rhinovirus is most active in early fall, spring, and summer, causing anywhere from 10 to 40 percent of colds. Coronavirus is usually what plagues people during the winter and early spring. RSV and parainfluenza sometimes lead to severe infections, like bronchitis or pneumonia.
Look for these symptoms:
Aches and pains: Usually mild
Chest discomfort, cough: Mild to moderate
Fatigue: Sometimes occurs
Sneezing, stuffy nose, sore throat: Most common, can be severe
Is It the Flu?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, flu is caused by influenza virus types A, B, and C. Types A and B cause large seasonal outbreaks while type C usually only causes mild respiratory symptoms. Influenza becomes dangerous when it moves deep into the lungs, causing more serious issues such as breathing difficulty, pneumonia, or bronchitis.
In general, flu comes on faster and hits harder than a common cold.
Aches and pains: Often severe
Chest discomfort, cough: Can be severe
Fatigue: Follows a period of exhaustion and can last two or three weeks
Fever: Fevers with flu are common, can go over 102 degrees, and can last three or four days
Headache: Common
Sneezing, stuffy nose, sore throat: Sometimes present
Proper Diagnosis Is Key
Timely and and accurate diagnosis of patients with respiratory illness ensures the best chance of appropriate treatment.
If all signs point to influenza, respiratory specimens for viral isolation or rapid detection should be collected and tested. There are many different tests that can help in flu diagnosis, but nasopharyngeal (NP) specimens typically have higher yield than nasal or throat swab specimens. The CDC urges that specimens be collected as soon after the onset of symptoms as possible (three or four days is ideal) to maximize the detection of illness.
Because colds usually go away before diagnostic tests can help, lab tests that detect common viral agents like rhinovirus aren't often used. It can be wise, however, to order tests for children under two years old, the elderly, and those with weak immune systems.
Have questions about testing for the flu? Contact us to speak with one of our sales representatives.

Greek Inspired Roast Leg of Lamb
I am not a fan of lamb but, I am trying. I think it is because growing up it was never cooked properly. My Grandfather was a fan of everything being cooked to death and often to the point of becoming more like shoe leather then a tasty cut of meat. My experience with lamb has been nothing short of a gamey tasting, tough meat that offered little in the way of anything outside of "Yuck". I am now learning to like lamb. I have been lucky enough to meet a husband and wife team of local farmers who raise a wonderful product that is full of all natural goodness, no factory farming here. Their animals are free to wander the paddocks and enjoy their fill of hay and grains grown on the very same farm. Lamb is a lean cut of meat and high in nutritional value and can be prepared in many delicious ways. This recipe is an easy way to approach lamb without the intimidation factor.
10,000 years ago in Central Asia, man discovered that sheep was a good source of food and clothing. Sheep have long been a dietary staple and textile source in Asia, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. In the Middle Ages, sheep were considered the most productive crop, providing meat, wool for clothing, skins for parchment, and milk for butter and cheese. The first sheep were brought to North America by Cortez in 1519.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours, 30 minutes
4 lb leg of lamb or rack of lamb
6 large potatoes cubed or 16 small white whole potatoes
2 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
1 red onion, chopped finely
Juice of half a lemon
1 cup of dry white wine or a broth of choice (I use vegetable as to not taint the flavour)
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
3 tbsp of melted butter
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp oregano
Pepper to taste
Lamb: Wash lamb thoroughly. On cutting board place lamb on it's side and in 4 places make small incisions. Insert garlic into the slits; then season with salt, pepper and oregano. Melt butter and combine with lemon juice then brush over the lamb. Place in a roasting pan with a lid. Add the white wine, onion, and water. Cover and bake at 325 F for 2 hours. Remove the lid and increase heat to 375 F and bake for another 1 hour, basting several times throughout the cooking process.
Potatoes: In a separate pan add vegetable oil and place into oven until sizzling, add potatoes and place pan into oven during last 45 minutes of lamb roast cooking time. Potatoes should be golden brown and slightly crispy.
Yield: 4 servings
FOOTNOTE: New Zealand lamb is often tastes gamey therefore I always buy my lamb from a locally sourced farm. You may choose to do whatever you prefer but, if you want the best taste always buy fresh. After all what makes more sense…Something raised in your own area or something flown thousands of miles to be on your plate?

Over the weekend, The New York Post ran a story that alleged significant misuse of proceeds generated by Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti charity to provide relief for the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti in early 2010.
According to NYT's report, of the $16 million that was raised for Haiti relief only less than a third of that amount actually went towards any kind of emergency relief efforts. Instead of going where it was supposed to go, the report says that money wound up in bank accounts tied to Jean's family, and even to companies that don't actually exist.
However, Jean says that NYT's claims are "misleading, deceptive and incomplete." Jean said in a statement:
"The NY Post piece entitled, "Questions Dog Wyclef's Haiti Fund" is misleading, deceptive and incomplete. The Post conveniently fails to acknowledge that the decisions that Yele made were a response to one of the world's most catastrophic natural disasters in modern history and required an immediate humanitarian response."
He continued:
"What the article doesn't say is that the construction projects funded by Yele Haiti were responsible for rebuilding an orphanage, building a temporary assistance facility, and had constructed a system of outdoor toilet and shower facilities in Cite Soliel one of the largest slums in Port-au-Prince. The Post never highlights that Amisphere Farm Labor was responsible for preparing and delivering close to 100,000 meals."

The Bootlegger Trilogy played out, and we got to watch some pretty cool gearhead videos from Lunati with their Bootlegger Camshaft outlaws. The Bootlegger Trilogy included The Pursuit (Part I), The Reputation (Part II), and The Legacy (Part III), which all led up to the final video: The Legacy Of An Outlaw.
But rather than just showing you some cool videos, we held the contest for Lunati and asked our readers: Tell us why you need a Bootlegger camshaft for your ride. We didn't know what to expect, but by the time the contest was over we had a few dozen entries to sift through, and we could only pick a total of thirteen winners from those entries. We asked people to be creative and play the part of an outlaw, and we had some great pictures, cool videos, and saw a few rides that definitely needed a bit of Bootlegger.
We've received quite a few emails and messages asking who the winners are, so without further ado, here is our list of winners from the Bootlegger Camshaft Contest. The prizes were laid out for a Grand Prize Winner, 2nd Prize, 3rd Prize, and Ten Consolation Prizes.
We had several of our staff writers and editors pick from the dozens of entries, and it was a tough decision for us all. We'd like to take this time to thank everyone who participated and even if you don't see your name below, we want to thank you for being a regular reader and visitor to our sites.
Consolation Prizes
Starting with the consolation prizes, congratulations to the ten winners who will receive a Lunati Bootlegger T-shirt:
- Allen Anderson – 1931 Plymouth PA
- Andrew Swenson – 1939 Ford Truck
- Dave Hoekstra – 1987 Ford Bronco
- Dan Harborne – 1936 Chevy
- Ken Nelson – 1968 Chevy Camaro
- Mal Banks – 1983 Chevy Camaro Z/28
- Marlon Lanier – 1972 Chevy Impala
- Matthew Bracknell – Ford Truck
- Mike Ryan – 1957 Chevy 210 Wagon
- Pat DiMattia – 1968 Chevy Camaro
Third Prize
Congratulations to: Brad Fersovitch – 1951 Ford Truck
- Bootlegger T-shirt, Lunati Banner, and Lunati Hat
2nd Prize
Congratulations to: Chadwick Berezay – 1976 Chevy Camaro
- Bootlegger Wooden Cam Box, One Bootlegger Shot Glass, Bootlegger T-shirt, Lunati Banner, Lunati Hat
Grand Prize Winner!
Congratulations to: Gabe & Chris Gibbany – GM Truck
- Bootlegger Camshaft (any part number), Lunati Lifter Set, Bootlegger Wooden Cam Box, Two Bootlegger Shot Glasses, Bootlegger T-shirt, Lunati Banner, Lunati Hat
Again, we want to congratulate all of our winners, and give a big thank you to all of those who sent in entries and participated in the Lunati Bootlegger Camshaft Contest. Please keep in mind that the contest entries were judged on more than just the vehicle or the written entry. The decision to pick thirteen winners was tough. By now, the winners should have been contacted by Lunati for your prizes, if you are on the winner's list and haven't heard from them, please get in touch with us and we'll make sure you get your prizes.

You want to stay healthy and in shape, or get back into shape, but your busy life doesn't necessarily allow the time to join a gym or go for a long run every day. Between the kid's activities and taking care of your home, how do you find the time to take care of yourself? The good news for you is there are a lot of ways to burn calories built right into your home and home maintenance routine. Below are some ways to take care of yourself, your home and your family at the same time.
Number One. Cleaning.
Cleaning activities around the home are great forms of exercise as well. Split up your cleaning projects over a few days each week to rack up those burned calories and keep your home in tip-top shape at the same time. Sweeping, mopping and vacuuming are fantastic for breaking a sweat and getting your heart-rate up there. Scrubbing shower walls, tub basins, sinks, and kitchen counters will help you burn and work those arm muscles.
Number Two. Tidying Up.
It may not appear like it, but small motions burn plenty of calories. Folding and putting away a couple of loads of laundry will add a few more burns to your count each week. Changing sheets on the beds in your home and making beds daily also contributes to those small motions that keep you in shape.
Number Three. Yard Maintenance.
Maintaining your yard offers several opportunities for exercise. Similar to sweeping, raking your yard weekly is an excellent way to work out your arms and legs. Gardening puts your arms to work and burns more calories. If you have a small to medium size yard or are an ambitious person with a large yard, push mow your lawn. It will really get you driving your body and exercises many muscle groups.
Number Four. Have Fun with Your Family.
Now for the fun one. Find special ways to have fun with your family that also give your body a workout. Play tag with your kids in the yard, jump rope or design a hopscotch grid and play along with them. Wrestling with your dog, playing fetch or engaging in a game of tug of war (with dogs or kids!) will also give you a workout. Combining family time and exercise is a wonderful and rewarding way to get yourself into shape.
Even if you think you're too busy for the gym, there are plenty of ways to find opportunities to exercise built right into your home life. Combine these with healthy and contentious cooking at home, and you won't even miss the gym.


text: What is it with socks? I've always complained in the past that I never have enough socks, and these (not so) subtle hints result in sock replenishments every now and then. So tonight I decided to turn my sock drawer out (yes, it's been a slow day…). And i'm shocked. 74 socks. An ENORMOUS amount. But here's the problem: only 24 of them match. 12 pairs. That's it. Where do the other socks go? Is there a sock fairy? Do they all end up, washed out and craggy, in a small retirement home for socks in Wiltshire? I've taken to wearing odd socks now, mainly because early mornings aren't the best sock-searching times, but mostly to fill in those awkward pauses in conversation. "So, Queen Mother's died then. "Yes." (awkward pause) "But hey, look at my socks!"

London to Manchester Train
Search cheapest fare for you

Search cheapest fare for you

London to Manchester train: It's about 200 miles from London to Manchester, and by far the best way to make that journey is by train, which takes about three hours. The trains in the UK are like buses, with lots of stops to cities and towns across the country. Manchester has four main train stations: Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Airport, Oxford Road and Manchester Victoria. Check the train tickets now.
Booking train tickets in the UK is very convenient. You can either book train tickets on TrainPal (where there's no booking fee), or buy train tickets at the rail station, where there are many manned ticket offices and automatic ticket machines, depending on the station. To get from London to Manchester, you can opt for Virgin Express, which takes just more than two hours, and there are also more local, indirect train services, like East Midlands and Cross Country, which take four to five hours. If you buy rail tickets for the express train on the same day you want to travel, an Off-Peak train ticket can cost around £50-60 pounds or more. Book in advance though, it'll cost you around £20–30. If you're going to be making more than one train journey, and you're eligible, you might want to purchase a discount card for booking train tickets. If you're willing to spend around £30 on one of these, then the train ticket price can be up to 1/3 cheaper.
You can also choose to take the National Express long-distance coach from London to Manchester. Bus fares in the United Kingdom are sometimes cheaper than train tickets. For example, the bus fare from Manchester Victoria Station to Liverpool Lime Street is £8 for a one-way coach ticket and £12 for a one-way train. However, it is recommended that travellers do not take the bus for long-distance travel. The author took a coach from Manchester City to London (5 hours) and could not walk normally after arriving in London.
Manchester is the third-largest city in the UK and a model of urban renewal. Once the centre of the British textiles industry, formerly known as "Cottonopolis", it's a thriving, modern city woven with the threads of British industrial history. Manchester is a well-connected city with trains running to Leeds, Liverpool and Birmingham in just over 40 minutes. It's home to more than 700 industries including heavy machinery, weaving, refining, glass, plastics and food processing. It's not only a political and cultural centre in the northwest of England, but a commercial and employment hub too.Check the trains to Manchester.

Stupid Never Dies
You throw these fools out of positions of power, and in no time they are back.
John Bolton decided it was necessary to send a carrier group and bombers to the Persian Gulf because Iran is showing signs that it might be planning to do something that could involve US interests at some time in the future … possibly … and they might have Saddam's WMDs or something.
Bibi Netanyahu has been saying that Iran would have a nuclear weapon in 5 years since 1992. The Saudis and Israelis blame all of the problems in the Middle East on Iran, without mentioning all of the side wars they have been engaged in.
Our aircraft carriers have a hell of a time operating in the Persian Gulf because of their size and turn radius. The Strait of Hormuz is a gauntlet of Iranian artillery and missiles. Annoying the Iranians without cause is a monumentally stupid thing to do, but then we have monumentally stupid people running the country at the moment.

Seeing how Halloween is my favorite holiday, I figured it would be the perfect time to discuss one of my favorite window decorations; Krypt Kiddies.
What are they?
Krypt Kiddies are seriously a one of a kind baby doll. They are a clan of creepy dolls done up in fashions so scary that toy stores would never display them on their shelves. Yep, they would scare the hell out of little girls. Baby dolls are done up with horns, fangs, green faces, red faces, the have scars, they have red eyes, and they are awesome.
However today I wanted to focus on my favorite Krypt Kiddie in all of the series. Her name is Raven. Instead of coming with a birth certificate she comes with a death certificate. This certificate tells what day she died, how she died, and why she was doomed to walk the earth as a Krypt Kiddie. Each and every Krypt Kiddie comes with a different death certificate, and reasonings to why they died, and when.
Raven though is special compared to the rest, only because she looks so evil. She has gray colored skin, with scars all on her face. Her hair is black, and small horns grow from her head. Her teeth are as sharp as razors, and she has a smile that gets etched into your mind. Her eyes are fire red, and she looks like she means business! Evil business. Raven sports a black dress and black fingernails to match.
Basically she is one dark looking doll, and her presence on any window sill or counter really sets the Halloween mood.
Everyone who sees my Raven doll always has questions, the first being, 'why did you get such an ugly doll?' and after explaining that she makes an awesome eerie Halloween prop, people then want to know where I got her.
Where to find Krypt Kiddies:
They are not sold everywhere, and my Raven doll was picked up in my local mall in HOT TOPIC. So Hot Topic is a spot to buy new Krypt Kiddies. They even sell series 1 dolls still, and some of them have series 2 dolls. Raven though is part of the series 1 collection, so finding her can be difficult; but not impossible.
The best way to obtain the Raven doll is to search online auction sites such as www.google.com or check www.amazon.com. Usually you can always find her there, waiting to come home with you.
For photos and ordering of Krypt Kiddies you can visit the official site at www.kryptkiddies.com. Stop in to view the other dolls this site has to offer. If you don't like Raven, you are sure to find a doll to suit your Halloween needs.
I find the best spot to display my clan of Krypt Kiddies is in our front window with a red light beaming down on them. This creates a really eerie display for trick-or-treaters who walk by the house.
Overall, they are high quality made dolls, and have that special touch that you will not find in a regular little girls play toy.
Krypt Kiddies sell from anywhere from $15.00 to $50.00+. Raven however only ran me $30.00. She however, was money well spent in my opinion.

Perspectives – A simple exercise (try it)
I did a simple exercise with 20 people recently and was fascinated by the answers. I asked "When you look at the following graphs, what do you see?"
Here are some of the responses I got:
- A father of a 6 yr old – "Energy of adults versus energy of kids"
- A businessman- "Seasoned corporate houses versus start-ups"
- A teenager- "Long term relationship versus short term flings"
- A talented early jobber- "Career – stable days versus highs and lows"
- A seven year old- "A snake and a caterpillar"
- A patient- "Good health versus bad health"
- A yoga guru- "Still mind versus a restless one"
- A finance expert- "Fixed deposit versus Bitcoin"
- A CEO- "Comfort zone versus disruption"
- A pilot- "A smooth flight versus a turbulent one"
What an array of perspectives! It was just fascinating. Everyday we are bombarded with information in a similar manner and we all decipher our own conclusions. Be it the news, brand communications, family gossip.
When I drew the above graph , I did it to represent my take on work-life balance. If we work without breaks, eventually we "plateau". And before we know it, life is over. But when we take breaks and work, when there is balance, we can reach for the "mountains". And the larger picture looks much more exciting and full of stories to tell!
This ten minute exercise can help us realize how subjective the field of marketing is. There are no right answers. All of the above responses are correct given the context and objective. It shows us that when we sit in a meeting to present a campaign or strategy, there could be a parent, a pilot or a yoga guru that we are talking to for approvals. However, our job is not to just please the ones in the meeting room. But to relate to those who are buying into the client's offering and story. So the aim should always be to make that the end goal. Dig deep into who the consumer really is. Only when we see it from their perspective will it have the "desired impact". Keyword here is desired. And this can only happen when we work with insights. Some insights are universal, others not so much. So based on the appeal of the brand (mass or niche), we need to clearly define the person who we are talking to and stay focused.
Mind you, this will often result in a spill over and may even have an undesirable effect on some potential buyers. But that's where we need to separate buyers from THE person who the communication needs to address. Eg: Axe will always talk to the 18yr old even though 30yr olds might be buyers too. And the latter might not agree with the positioning of the brand. But who cares? Because if you don't stand for something, you fall for anything.
I have seen agencies make the mistake of presenting campaigns or strategies that make them look good or make the CEO of the brand feel good. This is a classic mistake! One will always be on the winning side, when one makes the brand look good to the "ideal" consumer. So:
1. Define the consumer to the T. And stay focused on them.
2. You are not always the consumer!So be flexible and open to varied outlooks that consumers might have.
Only then can you be a good marketer, communicator and brand builder.
